Azealia Banks is ready to make her mark in Hollywood. The outspoken raptress has landed her debut role in an upcoming Lionsgate film titled Coco, directed by RZA. Get the deets inside…

Our fave outspoken raptress Azealia Banks is ready to take on Hollywood. Nope, not with more Twitter feuds.  The Harlem rap star has landed a starring role in a new film directed by Wu Tang Clan’s RZA (who has made a name for himself in the film industry). Azealia will play the title character in Coco, and it's being produced by Paul Hall (Higher Learning, For Colored Girls, Addicted) and the script written by Nicole Jefferson-Asher.

According to Deadline, the drama is set in Brooklyn where Azealia will play a twenty-something rapper who wants a career in Hip Hop. While she dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry, her parents want her to finish college.

Instead of following her dream, she decides to go to college and discovers the power of spoke word, which in turn, helps her goal as a Hip Hop artist. It’s supposed to have an 8Mile feel to it. Hmm….sounds interesting. We're sure Azealia will be able to relate to her character....

No word on when the film will be released, but we’ll definitely keep you posted.

[EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK] TEA SIPPIN: "BSH" Stars Demetria Lucas D'Oyley & Chantelle Fraser Duke It Out With Words

We've got an EXCLUSIVE clip from an upcoming episode of "Blood, Sweat and Heels" that'll surely have folks sipping their tea and conversing.  Watch newlywed Demetria Lucas D'Oyley get called out for the way she treats her co-stars...

 

Demetria Lucas D'Oyley is a controversial personality on "Blood, Sweat and Heels," but is it entirely her fault? Let's face it - the world can sometimes be threatened by self-assured brown girls who stand in their space and stick to their guns. What one person might call "confidence," another might deem "narcissism." Two different extremes......but you can't control how someone else experiences you.

At various points during the both seasons of "BSH," Demetria has found herself on the receiving end of the word "judgmental" or something along those lines. Is it justified? Or is she misunderstood?

In the EXCLUSIVE clip provided by Bravo, Demetria finds herself in a war of words with the newest castmember, Chantelle Fraser, who seems to have a similar "experience" a few other castmembers have had with Demetria. But we gotta ask....are Demetria's castmates the judgmental ones?

Peep the exclusive clip below:

 

 

And here's another clip from Bravo....

Daisy's "experience" with Demetria during her battle with Cancer leads her to tears.  Should Demetria be more considerate of other people's feelings...or are the other ladies up in arms about nothing?

 

"Blood, Sweat and Heels" airs Sundays on Bravo (check your local listings).

Rihanna is racking up her frequent flyer miles, jetting out of London after being there for a day. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez was spotted at LAX yesterday. Peep their airport candids inside….

Rihanna has been busy working on her upcoming R8 LP, spending much of her time in a NYC studio. In between studio sessions, she has been spotted hanging out with her friends and partying with other celebs such as Drake and Leonardo DiCaprio. But, the Dior spokeswoman had some business to handle overseas, so she hopped on a flight to London and landed there on Tuesday.

 photo sondjem4.jpg

But she didn’t stay long. After doing whatever it is she had to do, she hopped on the first flight out of London. Today, she was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport to jet out of the British capital.

 photo sonmdjen3.jpg

The Pop princess was wearing a pair of high-waisted printed jeans, gray crop top, red flats and a gray bomber jacket. And she’s still rocking this fiery orange long hair. Before hopping on her flight, she stopped to give a hug to one adoring fan. Sweet.

Rih’s full-length “Secret Garden IV” episode for Dior was released yesterday. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out HERE.

“American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez made her way through LAX yesterday (debuting shorter hair) to catch a flight to Morocco, Africa. As the 45-year-old stunna walked through the terminal, toting her black Birkin bag, she was stopped by a fan for a quick autograph.

Then THIS happened....

The “Booty” singer was confetti bombed by a clown, showering her in small pieces of paper as she walked through the airport. The culprit? A clown named Richie the Barber whose known for pulling pranks on celebs.

But, she didn't seem bothered. She kept on walking towards the terminal to catch her flight. JLo is set to perform at the Mawazine Festival on Friday, May 29th at OLM Souissi stage in Rabat.

NO MORE DRAMA: Karrueche Says She’s 100% Single & Has NO Beef With Rihanna + Chris Brown Apologizes To Tyson Beckford’s Child's Mother

After all of the drama and foolish activities that went down over Memorial Day Weekend between Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford, Karrueche is now speaking out. She says she's 100% single (so why was Chris mad?) and there’s no beef between her and Rihanna. Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Breezy is busy issuing apologies for his antics on social media. Get the latest inside….

This Memorial Day Weekend was very drama-filled after Chris Brown popped off, issuing threats to Chocolate City star Tyson Beckford. Breezy was all up in his feelings after he spotted his ex-girlfriend Karrueche hanging out with the sexy model. And things went totally left on social media. Chris called up his goons, Tyson pulled out his rifles and it appeared to be the makings of an epic showdown between the two had they crossed paths. But, all seems to be back to normal…at least for now.

Now that the dust has settled, so to speak, Kae is speaking out on her current situation with her ex-beau. She stopped by Big Boy’s radio show on Real 92.3 in L.A. to address a few rumors that have been circulating. First things first, she made it crystal clear that she is 100% single! She said she tries her best to keep her distance from Chris so they don’t have to cross paths and she revealed they do not communicate…at all.

The celeb stylist turned actress, who’s starring in the new web series “Vanity,” confirmed how she learned about her ex-boyfriend's new baby. Breezy didn’t have the balls to tell Kae about his daughter Royalty, so she found out just like the rest of us! She said once found out about his infidelity online, she called him up, cursed him out and told him she was DONE...for good this time. Kae said she and Chris were working on repairing their relationship after the love triangle drama with Rihanna, but once she found out he had a baby with someone else in the meantime, she wiped her hands with the situation.

When asked if there was any drama between her and Rihanna, she said, “No, we just dated the same guy. It’s always like a competition thing and they compare us. She is Rihanna, she’s a pop star, she’s beautiful, she makes great music. And I’m just me. I’m growing and working into myself. You can’t really compare us because we’re two completely different girls.”

Well, there you have it. Peep her interview below:
 

On Instagram recently...

 photo ke2.png

Yesterday, Kae had folks on Instagram up-in-arms after she posted up a pic of her lip busted with blood coming down the side of her mouth. She captioned, “Rough day in Chicago.”

Some people took it as a joke towards domestic violence and started ranting and raving in the comments. But, she’s likely filming for an upcoming movie. TMZ reports she’s on a set filming a "street fighter" type movie.

Kae is steadily getting work on the movie scene as she will also star in the straight to DVD film 3-Headed Shark Attack (July 2015).

Meanwhile....

 photo cbbb1.png

Chris Brown took to his Twitter yesterday to issue an apology to Tyson Beckford’s son’s mother April Roomet (a stylist/make-up artist) after he came at her sideways during his nasty feud with the sexy model over the weekend.

You’ll recall, Breezy fired off a disturbing tweet that said, “I'm done all this Internet talking blood. Be in Vegas soon. Keep playing ima f*ck ya baby momma and then whoop yo child like he mine." Sighs…

Now, Breezy is “manning up” and apologizing for saying such things in the heat of the moment. He tweeted (read from the bottom up):

 photo cbz2.png

Oh Chris....

 photo tytweet.png

Following Breezy's apology, Tyson responded, thanking him for the apology and offered to chat with him...OFFline.

In other news...

 photo cbbb2.png

Breezy's baby girl Royalty turns 1 today! He sent her a shoutout on IG saying, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LIL LADY ROYALTY!!!! I Love u" Aww...

Although it seemed like Breezy was turning a new leaf after it was revealed he was a father, it's apparent he still has his moments. Let's hope he'll start thinking more like a father when issues arise and not just react without thinking....

Tracee Ellis Ross Talks SEX Scenes & Racism In Provocative Roundtable Discussion With A-List Actresses For 'The Hollywood Reporter'

Tracee Ellis Ross is dishing on life as a black actress in Hollywood for The Hollywood Reporter’s latest cover story. The “black•ish” star got candid on filming sex scenes for network television, racism still being prevalent in the industry and her most humiliating experience on a casting call. More inside….

“black•ish” actress Tracee Ellis Ross joined an uncensored discussion at the Comedy Actress Roundtable for The Hollywood Reporter’s gathering of Emmy-contending comedy actresses. Six of television’s most provocative female comedians, including the “black•ish” mom, Gina Rodriguez ("Jane the Virgin"); Lena Dunham ("Girls"); Ellie Kemper ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"); and Kate McKinnon ("Saturday Night Live") gathered for a no-holds-barred roundtable conversation on a couple of interesting topics, including  sex scenes, racism, colorism and more.

Loving their cover.

 photo trh2.jpg

Tracee held nothing back and was very candid when talking about her experiences as a black woman in Hollywood. She touched on going after roles even if they aren’t written for a woman of color, her most humiliating experience testing for a network show, how calculated sex scenes are for network television and more.

Below are the highlights:

On filming sex scenes:

ROSS: On network shows, there are a lot of instructions: Close the mouth. You can move, make the sounds, but no tongue. I had some incidences on "Girlfriends." This guy’s tongue jammed in like a lizard out of nowhere.

On the most overtly sexist thing that's happened to you working in Hollywood:
ROSS: I think racism trumps everything. [It all] happens behind the scenes.
DUNHAM: So many shows wouldn't exist if you and Mara [Brock Akil] hadn't made Girlfriends and pushed it as far as you did.
ROSS: We did 176 episodes.
RODRIGUEZ: Damn.
ROSS: Being on a show run by a woman with four women leads gives you a template that when you walk out into the world, you don't see it. It changed my expectations.

Tracee, Chris Rock wrote an essay for The Hollywood Reporter in which he talked about how you can go to the movies once a week for months and never see a black woman in a substantial role.
RODRIGUEZ: I think that also goes for Latinos as well.
ROSS: There aren’t many [roles in film]. That’s why I say no to all the offers! (Laughs.) Working on a film is one job where you look at a casting breakdown and I’ll think, “That’s me!” But she’s not supposed to be black.
RODRIGUEZ: One hundred percent.
ROSS: But I go for them anyway....

On how much self-deprecation figures into how you connect with your audience:

ROSS: I tested once for a network show to play a lawyer. A Harvard-educated motherf—in' lawyer, OK? I wore a skirt suit and heels. Seemed appropriate. Then there were many discussions about my hair. They'd printed up all these pictures of me from 15 f—in' years ago and had me in and out of the bathroom trying on clothes. They finally pick a skirt — the shortest I brought. Then got a T-shirt from one of the people in the office. The woman says, "Hmmm, your boobs." I was like, "I didn't bring a bra for this T-shirt." She screams down the hall, "Who wears a 34B?" I put on someone else's bra, a size too small, and somehow auditioned. I remember wondering, "What did I just allow myself to do?" The other actress [who auditioned] was dressed like she was going to a club and got the role. It was one of those moments where you're so confused and humiliated. But that's part of the biz.

On asking for what you think you deserve:
ROSS: I was raised by a woman [singer Diana Ross] who has high standards for what she's worth, which has been called "diva behavior." I have witnessed flagrant, disgusting behavior, and that is not my mother. There is a way to be a woman, ask for what we deserve and be able to negotiate.

 

Peep a clip from their discussion where Tracee recalls her wretched Harvard lawyer audition:

Mel B and her fellow "AGT" judge Howie Mandel had a pajama party to celebrate the upcoming season. See pics inside and check out what happened when Bey and Jay headed to the TIDAL offices in Norway.  Also, watch Dawn Richard's latest video.

 photo agt1.jpg

Singer and international tv personality Mel B headed to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in NYC last night to celebrate the season 10 premiere of 'America's Got Talent.' To celebrate the start of the season, Mel and a few lucky guests attended a 'Pajama Party' to watch the show on tv.

  photo agt2.jpg

Funnyman Howie Mandel, who stars on "AGT" alongside Mel B, didn't waste anytime getting naked and joining in the fun.  Eventually (check the pic atop) Mel also got into her PJs.  And it looks like she flashed her tatas too!

If you're a fan of 'AGT', this should be a very good season.  While discussing the show to E!, Mel B said, "There's just a lot of really fun stuff, from the crazy to the actual really talented to the wacko. It's just a really interesting, fun family show. It's the 10 year anniversary so they really souped it all up and it's good!"

Last night, "AGT" kicked off with a bang as world-renown germaphobe who NEVER touches people with open hands (only fist bumps at most) Howie Mandel actually shook the hands of the other judges and a contestant.  Why?  He was hypnotized and believed that they were all wearing thin latex gloves.  Let's just say, the hypnotist "got talent".  And he looks like Drake too!  Watch it:

America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays, at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Tuesday morning, Jay Z and Beyonce headed to Tidal headquarters in Oslo for a morning meeting where they pumped up the staff and thanked them for all of their hard work. 

We're sure the team also congratulated Bey on landed on Forbes’ The World’s Most Powerful Women list! Mrs. Carter placed at twenty-one on the list of 100 women, and she was the highest ranking celebrity.

Meanwhile....the other story is what happened outside of the meeting. Once fans learned that Bey and Jay were in town, they swarmed the building and following the couple's SUV down the street. Talk about doing the most....

We've got the latest visual from recording artist Dawn Richard. Actually...it's the latest visual from Dawn as she recently dropped her last name after the Danity Kane split. The new clip (her 7th video from Blackheart), directed by Monty Marsh, is a mashup of two singles "Titans" and "James Dean." 

It's all about the dance moves in the sexy featurette which begins with Dawn and two backup dancers who transform into onyx obsidian titans while a diamond encrusted Dawn dances between them. Then....Dawn (who always stays ahead of the curve) moves her body using a new wave of digital art created by Wicked Liquid FX. The second part of the video shows her dancing in her “James Dean,” t-shirt and rocks her own new eyewear line Black Era Shades. 

Dawn's latest album is called Blackheart and it's available now.

Nia Long is set to walk down the aisle with San Antonio Spurs coach Ime Udoka...and we've got a shot of the ring inside!

You might have heard by now that Nia Long, who recently landed the leading role in ABC's Uncle Buck remake, has gotten engaged to her long-term boyfriend Ime Udoka.  Now, it's no longer a rumor.  After being spotted out at dinner over the weekend flashing a huge rock, earlier today, she tweeted out a pic of the ring with the caption "#FOREVER."

The 44-year-old Hollywood veteran (Boyz n the Hood, Best Man Holiday) and Ime have been a couple for over 5 years and have been featured among our hot YBF couples in numerous posts.  They have a son together, 3-year-old Kez, and Nia is also the mother of 14-year-old Massai from a previous relationship.

A few years ago, while promoting "The Best Man Holiday", Nia hinted at marriage toRolling Out when she opened up about staying the course and being open to love when it comes around.  She said:

"I think that women who are extremely driven to success, ambitious, I think they get to a point in their lives where they're like, 'Uh oh. I am 30-something years old, and I don't have a husband and I don't have children yet and what does that mean?' I think what it means is stay in your course because it's going to happen when it's supposed to happen."

She added,

"You have to have an open heart to be vulnerable to accept it when it does come. I think the more success you have as a woman, you kinda go, 'Well, I don't really need a man, cause look—I have everything I want,' but the truth is you do need a partner because at some point in your life you're not going to want to walk alone."

The Single Moms Club star also spoke to Jet in 2013 about looking for rings saying,"Last time we visited San Antonio we looked at rings, but I'm not in any rush."

Well, two years later it looks like it's going to happen! Congrats to the twosome!

In addition to Uncle Buck (with Mike Epps) this fall, Nia will reprise her role as "Jordan" in The Best Man Wedding due out in April 2016.

Is Blac Chyna Dating Money Team Boxer J’Leon Love?! + Soul Singer Jaguar Wright POPS OFF At K. Michelle For Singing Leela James' Song, K.Michelle Pops Back & Feud Continues

Does Blac Chyna have a new man in her life? It appears so. She has been getting cozy with professional boxer J’Leon Love in the past few days. Both Chyna and J’Leon have been posting up cutesy photos and videos on their Instagram accounts. Get the deets on their budding romance and find out why K. Michelle read neo-soul singer Jaguar Wright for filth on social media last night inside….

While her ex-fiance Tyga runs around with his underaged girlfriend, Blac Chyna has found herself a new man…and one her age.

Meet 27-year-old professional boxer J’Leon Love. He is the current WBA International Super Middleweight Champion signed to Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team Management. It appears he and Blac Chyna are getting close after she posted him as her #MCM on Instagram last week. Since then, the two have posted up lovey dovey videos of one another and J'Leon posted the coupledom pic atop, but eventually deleted it. BUT, the videos are still there.

In one clip, J’Leon and Chyna are laying across what appears to be a bed with The Weeknd's “Earned It” playing in the background as they talked about people assuming they’re in a relationship.  Why ever would people assume that?

Check it:

Smh @blacchyna play to much.

Posted by J'Leon Love on Wednesday, May 27, 2015

 

Mmmhmm...

 

Then, Chyna posts a video of her "stealing kisses":

Neither Chyna or J’Leon have confirmed they are actually in a relationship, but it definitely looks like the makings of a budding romance.

Right now, J’Leon is training for a huge fight at the MGM Las Vegas against Jason Escalera on June 20th. Many boxers refrain from engaging in sexual acts before fights, and according to reports, J’Leon is doing the same. So, no sex for them for at least a month. Sources close to Chyna tell TMZ she’s down for the cause saying,"I feel like it's a good thing and I'll deal with it with him!"

We hope so. A month isn't THAT long to wait before jumping in the bed with someone after just meeting.

Elsewhere on social media....

Another day, another social media showdown. This time, R&B songstress K. Michelle and neo-soul singer Jaguar Wright were going at it after Jaguar voiced her opinion on K. singing one of Leela James’ songs. We’ll explain….

On Monday, “Love & Hip Hop: New York” stars Yandy Smith and Mendeecees wedding special aired where K. Michelle was asked to sing a selection. The reality star sang a cover of Leela James’ track “Fall For You,” a single from her fifth studio album with the same title released in 2014.

Well, that didn’t sit well Jaguar, so she took to her Instagram to speak on it. She posted up a video clip of K singing with the caption:

 photo jk1.jpg

 

 photo jk2.jpg

 photo jk3.jpg

Bloop!

If you’re unfamiliar as to who Jaguar Wright is, she is a Philly native who sung background vocals on Jay Z’s MTV Unplugged special. She is also a member of QuestLove's Okayplayer collective, providing background vocals for The Roots and Al Green. She also appeared in a few Sprite commercials back in the 90s.

In response to K’s clap back, Jaguar then posted up a series of videos to respond to explain what she really meant when she came off. She claims she didn’t say anything bad about K, she just wished it was Leela singing her own song. The Philly native said it would have been appropriate for Leela to sing the song because she’s currently touring and promoting the song “Fall For You.” She said “It’s not like the song is 8 years old and it was just apart of a catalog, it’s current.”

Peep the videos:

So what does Leela have to say? She doesn't seem bothered the least bit. In fact, her track "Fall For You" started trending on iTunes top searches and it was pushed to the top of the iTunes charts, coming in at No. 3 on the Top Songs list. We're sure Leela is all for her music climbing the charts, even if it's because of a social media feud.

While we get what Jaguar is trying to say, it's not like K had much of a choice on the song selection. Yandy chose that song and chose K to sing it so...there's that.

In other news....

 photo jk4.jpg

K. Michelle announced she has a new show titled “Players Court” coming to VH1 soon. She didn’t reveal what it’s about, so we’re just going to have to wait until the deets are spilled. She’s also filming for her other VH1 reality show “K Michelle: My Life.” Not only that, the award winning singer also has a documentary series coming to Centric called "BEING K. Michelle." The one-hour premiere is set to air June 6th at 10pm. Congrats K.

Where in the world is international fashionista Solange Knowles Ferguson?  Following her twirl at the Palace of Versailles a few days ago, Solange headed to London where she hosted an exclusive bash to celebrate the release of the Veuve Clicquot RICH at The Pompadour Room in the Hotel Café Royal.

As usual, Solange stole the show with her fashions. This time, she stunned in an off-white gown by Marios Schwab with long over-the-shoulder cape from the fall/winter 2014 collection. On Instagram she wrote "Looking for a cape cure........make it stop. Ok don't."

After the function, Solange got her Champagne strut on saying,

"Because I'm ridiculous
Because it's the end of my trip
Because it's the end of #clicquotrich party
Because I have on a cape
Because I'm trying to walk like Mariah runs"

"OITNB" star Laverne Cox went the opposite of glam and took all the makeup off.  She surprised fans by posting a makeup free selfie, showing off her natural beauty, and noting that "#TransIsBeautiful."   The photo shows Laverne in a relaxed and peaceful state of mind as she preps for the June 12th debut of season 3 of the hit Netflix series.  She wrote,

"Finally a few days to relax. I feel so privileged to be able to do work that I love and very privileged to be able to take time off occasionally. I take none of it lightly. Always good to have days with no makeup to let my skin breath. #washfacenobase #TransIsBeautiful"

Also, fans of Laverne can head over to newsstands today to catch her on the cover of BUST magazine.  Ms. Cox was shot by Danielle Levitt.

Lance Gross is married man now! And he made his first public appearance since tying the knot with his wife Rebecca Jefferson this past weekend.  He popped up at the Entourage“Kick It” Sneaker Exhibit in support of the upcoming release of the film ENTOURAGE at Shoe Palace in Hollywood yesterday.

The TV series-turned-movie is known for its great cameos, as well as the sneakers the characters were either copping or rocking, so the kicks were on display at the event. We can expect a few cameos from a few YBF celebs including rapper T.I. and superproducer Pharrell Williams.  Shad "Bow Wow" Moss also appears in the film.

“Atlanta Exes” star Torrei Hart was in the mix to check out some cool kicks. If you haven’t heard, “Atlanta Exes” got the axe after one season and will not be returning to VH1.

“Hit The Floor” actor Robert Riley took a break from filming the upcoming third season of his show to check out a few fly kicks.

INTERVIEWS: A$AP Rocky Explains Rita Ora Diss, DENIES Hooking Up With Rihanna, Talks Orgies & "DOPE"

 photo 695111-311421.png

While conducting interviews about his top-selling disc At.Long.Last.A$AP, rapper A$AP Rocky revealed why he outed his sexual exploits with singer Rita Ora, shot down rumors that he hooked up with Rihanna and discussed his upcoming film DOPE. More inside... 

 

Rapper A$AP Rocky is heading to the summit of the Billboard 200 albums chart. According to industry forecasters, his sophomore album At.Long.Last.A$AP, which was released on Monday, is expected to move more than 120,000 albums this week. That number will land the disc at #1, making it the second time A$AP has found himself at the top (his debut Long.Live.A$AP bowed atop the list in 2013).

Not surprisingly, the album's release (and success) is tied to controversy.  Earlier this week, we told you about a track named "Better Things" where the rapper goes in on Rita Ora.  Now that he's in NYC doing promo for the disc, A$AP has been asked to explain why he chose to share the intimate deets of her sexual encounter with Rita.  Is he a lover scorned or just a dirtbag?

As you'll hear during his chat with Hot 97's Nessa, A$AP had a sexual encounter with Rita Ora around two years ago, during the time he was in a relationship.  We did the math and we suspect that he was dating Chanel Iman at the time (though he has also dated Iggy Azalea, who actually made a record with Rita).  Rita "talked" about their encounter and it got back to whomever he was dating at the time. 

Specifically, the "Better Things" line goes: 

"I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth/Next time I see her might curse the bitch out/Kicked the bitch out once cause she bitched out/Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce."

When asked to explain himself during the Hot 97 interview (see 9:44 below) he told Nessa,

"It was an old song....I should have muted that part...In all reality, she's not the only pop singer getting jizzed on.  It's life. And it's not a female or a male thing. It's not a domination thing....My whole thing is I don't kiss and tell.  I'm not the first rap guy she's been with and she's not the first pop broad I've been with. This was LONG ago."

He clarified...

"We didn't date. I was in a relationship when that happened, and she got me in a lot of trouble! When you mess with me…Don't kiss & tell! That's it...and I won't Just zip it next time."

So was it Chanel Iman he cheated on?  Hmmm...

At the (13:00) mark, A$AP admits that he is a walking contradiction for calling Rita Ora out for "talking" about their encounter, since he just recorded a song about it!  He says, "I'm not perfect."

He also opens up about Rihanna (revealing that they didn't hook up).  On the track "Jukebox Joints" there's a line that goes"Ain't nothing better than the pretty big forehead b---h." And most people associate that description with Rihanna. At (13:28) A$AP tells Nessa that Rihanna is "not the only pretty big forehead bitch in the world." 

Here are more highlights:

On Rihanna (14:14): "If it happened. It would've happened, he said. "We didn't do that. You never know. That's not what I'm looking forward to, I'm looking forward to the friendship I have with all these other females."

Does he regret the Rita Ora line (11:49):  "I kinda feel bad cause I look like a womanizer.  The thing is I'm young, I can't justify it. I said it. It's no excuses. She said what she said. We did what we did and it happened. I don't want to keep talking about it. I'm not perfect at all. At the end of the day...I don't want my character (to be defined by that)."

On fame:  "Fame and money doesn't change you. It changes the people around you."

On DOPE (21:52):  "I had to audition three times...cause I was so excited that I would get to cocky and that would make me nervous. I've always wanted to act.  I feel like a lot of people will relate to it. It touches on different backgrounds. "

On Orgies (5:46): A$AP describes how he used LSD and slept with 9 girls in one night.

LOVE & FOOTBALL: Is Ashanti DATING NFLer Darnell Dockett?! +Washington Redskins WR DeSean Jackson Expecting A Baby With Girlfriend Kayla Phillips

Does Ashanti have a new man? We think so. And we think it’s San Francisco 49ers baller Darnell Dockett. Find out why and get the deets on Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson baby announcement with girlfriend Kayla Phillips inside….

“Ashanti got a man at…home…and he’s so good to her.” Ha!

No, but seriously. It appears Ashanti may have a new man in her life. The lucky guy? San Francisco 49ers defensive end Darnell Dockett.  We've been hearing plenty of credible rumors about their new dating situation.  And now, there's this.

Since calling it quits with Nelly, the Braveheart singer has been pretty secretive about who she may or may not be dating. You’ll recall, during a panel discussion on “The Meredith Vieira Show” back in April, the 34-year-old songstress (who was once linked to Washington Redskins baller DeSean Jackson) confirmed she had hopped back in the dating pool and went on an amazing first date with a guy, but she kept his name under wraps…until now.

Yesterday, Darnell celebrated a birthday where Ashanti hopped on Twitter to give him a birthday shoutout, calling him her baby. She tweeted:  

 photo bdtw.png

“Happy Bday Baybayyyyyy lol [emojis] @ddockett”

Baybay? Oh….

Then, Darnell followed up with, “Thanks boo! [kissy emoji]”
 

We did a little digging and upon scanning Ashanti’s Instagram, it appears Darnell knows just how to get the “I Got It” singer in a good mood:

 

A photo posted by Ashanti (@ashanti) on

 

She captioned, "When he makes ur mood a reality... #CurrentMood #Thankubabe"

The twosome have been e-flirting on social media in the past month and now it looks like it’s almost official. Neither Ashanti nor Darnell have confirmed their coupledom status, but it definitely looks like these two are in the beginning stages of a new relationship. Not mad.

Darnell is the father to two beautiful children, Dillon Dockett (8) and Riley Dockett (1). Once Ashanti meets his kids (if she hasn’t already), then we’ll know it’s real.

In another fairly new relationship....

 photo djc1.png

Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson will be a first time dad soon! After confirming he is in a relationship with Kayla Phillips (and "instagram model" who was once linked to Justin Bieber) earlier this year, the NFL star and his girlfriend are now pregnan. This will be Kayla’s second child as she has a son from a previous relationship.  The usual....

Kayla made the official announcement via Instagram, snapping a pic of her growing belly:
 

 photo djc2.png

We’ll get an inside look at their life together on DeSean’s upcoming BET reality series titled, “DeSean Jackson: Home Team.” According to Variety, the show will center around the star receiver and the women who run his life, including his girlfriend Kayla, "momager" Gayle, his sister and assistant A'Dreea, and his publicist Denise. The show is set to premiere June 30th.

Will you be tuned in?

TOO DAMN REAL (AND GROWN!): Cheryl Lynn DRAGS And Unbothered Anita Baker On Twitter For Blocking Her + Tiffany Evans BLASTS CHEATING Husband Lorenzo Henderson On Instagram!

Chile, somebody introduced our parents' besties-in-their-heads to Twitter....and now veteran beef is popping off between singers Anita Baker and Cheryl Lynn.  Plus, it looks like there’s trouble in paradise for R&B singer Tiffany Evans and her husband Lorenzo Henderson after a few years of marriage. Chick took to her Instagram and pulled his card for cheating on her! Deets inside…

Get y'all aunties!  Last night, "Got To Be Real" legend Cheryl Lynn came for her frenemy Anita Baker....and she blasted her former friend in front of the whole Twittersphere.

According to Cheryl, Anita has been acting brand new with her after decades of friendship.  And the nail in the coffin is when Anita BLOCKED her on Twitter.

Read from the bottom up:

Anita -- who likely didn't see any of Cheryl's tweets since she's BLOCKED and all -- must have gotten the gist from a friend.  She responded this morning saying:

 photo Screen Shot 2015-05-28 at 1.22.48 PM_zps6su0mpf9.png

This is why they should have never given y'alls aunties Twitter.

In other social media blastings:

 photo tiflo1.jpg

It appeared R&B songstress Tiffany Evans, who’s currently making a comeback on the music scene, was all wrapped up in love since secretly marrying her husband Lorenzo Henderson in 2010 then giving birth to their baby girl Adalia Sarai Henderson in 2012. But apparently, everything has not been all peaches and cream in their relationship.

Back in 2012, the “Promise Ring” singer (who was once managed by Mathew Knowles) gushed to Essence magazine about being head-over-heels in love with Lorenzo and how excited she was to give birth to her baby girl. She said,

“I've been married for two years. He is the love of my life and I love him very much. His name is Lorenzo. He's a really a cool guy and we're expecting something else as well – our first child together. I am six months pregnant. No one has seen me and I've been waiting the proper time to say something about it. I'm so happy and I'm so excited and I'm having a girl. It's so big and wonderful to me. It's an amazing experience and I wish guys could go through this. It's life changing.”

 

 photo tiflo2.jpg

Well…things have changed since then. Apparently, Lorezno has been creeping behind Tiffany’s back (on numerous occasions) and she’s FED up. Chick took to her Instagram to air out her frustrations accusing her husband of CHEATING on her. Not only that, it appears there was/is a love triangle between her husband, some chick named Naeemah (who may possibly be married herself) and one of her husband’s friends! Chile….

Here’s what she said:

 photo tift.png

 

“All 3 of yall can keep yall lil love triangle yall got going on. The shit is sick. As a married woman, you shouldn’t fuck with nobody’s husband, regardless of what those people are going through, and you should be really ashamed as well as you men. You run around claiming love your wife as Christ love the church but steady doing the opposite. I’ve been dealing with this sh*t a long time and I have been hurt badly and I have tried to keep my f*ckin’ dignity through it all. But hoes will be hoes. Even when you’re sincerely kind to them. Nobody cared when I was pregnant with Adalia about any of the shit that they were doing to me or had to endure dealing with dumbass Lorenzo and this b*tch Naeemah. Now you can add his friend to your list of people you’ve f*cked. I’ve been nice and I have been quiet. I don’t give a f*ck about what none of yall think of me for this, try to cuss me out, say I’m wrong. I don’t care. F*ck them and f*ck all yall who have a sorry a** opinion because you don’t know any of the sh*t I’ve been through these past years with this bullsh*t. This is the one time I exposed it. Since everybody want to hide and hold secrets and sh*t, ima expose it and move the f*ck on and write a f*ckin song about [it].”
 

What a mess! But on the flip side, it does make for good music material. In January, she released a new video "Baby Don't Go,” starring former “Scandal” star Columbus Short (Check it out HERE). We can only imagine what her next musical offering will be like.
