For any of your 2 Chainz fans... your boy just got arrested at LaGuardia airport for the uber gangsta move of....wait for it...carrying brass knuckles.  We're still doing this?  Deets (and his new video) inside...

Just a few hours ago at LaGuardia airport in New York, 2 Chainz (formerly known as Tity Boi), who is featured on Nicki Minaj's "Beez On The Trap" and G.O.O.D. Music's "Mercy" tracks, thought it was a good idea to throw some old school brass knuckles in his carry-on.  So instead of making his fight to North Carolina for a concert, he ended up getting cuffed right outside the terminal.  I mean, WHO were you planning to swing on 2 Chainz?  I mean, really.

TMZ has the arrest pic.  He was taken into custody for misdemeanor possession of a criminal weapon.  The "Spend It" rapper's people saying they are "handling the situation."

Meanwhile, dude just released his "Undastatement" video for #2ChainzTuesday:

WHO is this chick cooking in her draws though?  Looks like somebody's drunk auntie is on the loose...

NeNe Leakes stopped by the "WENDY" Show earlier today where she dished on her acting career, "RHOA" and her thoughts about frenemy Sheree Whitfield and her seemingly new bestie Kim Kardashian. Watch the clip inside and find out what the cast of "Singles Ladies" discussed.....

Nene Leakes was spotted leaving her "Wendy Show" taping yesterday (pictured above). 

And in her segment that aired today, she rocked a Celine dress while dishing on her Hollywood career, "RHOA" and her celebrity pals.  Wendy commented on NeNe's statement that she needed a trainer and then said she should ask Sheree Whitfield.  NeNe commented that Sheree was "thick" and her body was just "aight."  She added that it's best that Sheree left "RHOA."  

And when talking about co-star Kim Zolciak, she said that she does not miss that friendship and they are both in different spaces in their lives.  Wendy also commented that she's not feeling Marlo Hampton herself.  But NeNe revealed that she wasn't sure if Marlo would return next season.  NeNe also said she wasn't sure of Kenya Moore's rumored involvement.

The "Glee" actress also dished on her girlfriend Kim Kardashian saying they have "girl talk" over dinner, and she thinks Kim looks good with Kanye West.  And when talking about her ex-husband, she said the divorce from Greg was real and she wouldn't lie about it.  Why they've been traveling all over together as of late is still unanswered.

Ms. Leakes said she loved her "Roz" character on "Glee."  And even better, she didn't have to audition for her role on the upcoming NBC show "The New Normal," as it was also a project of the "Glee" creator.  

She also said she is very single and not dating her business partner John.

As for season 5 of RHOA--Nene confirmed she will indeed return because she is loyal to Bravo and its been a great platform.

Watch NeNe's segment here:

Also......

The cast of "Single Ladies" stopped by "WENDY."  During the oddly nervous chat,  LisaRaye, Denise Vasi, and Charity Shea discussed their characters and the drama that will pop off this season.  Wendy commented that LisaRaye looked a little like Stacey Dash.  And speaking of Stacey, LisaRaye added that she didn't get Stacey fired and that the pair are not enemies.  She considers them "cool."

LisaRaye commented on the JET article about Duane Martin coming between Will and Jada's marriage and it sounding "familiar" to her own marriage. Ms. McCoy added that she and Duane had a bad business relationship and they ARE NOT cool.

And Charity revealed that rapper Common--who guest stars on several episodes- is a little "hands-y" on the set when it comes to their romantic scenes.  Who would complan about that?

Rounding out the Award Show, the legendary Frankie Beverly & Maze will receive the Cadillac Achievement Award.  Mr. Beverly revealed at today's press conference that he originally turned down the award, but realized being on tour for 20 years with no current album out was something to be proud of indeed.

By the way, the 2013 BET Awards will move to the Kodak Theater. 

Ludacris' talented daughter, Karma Bridges, hit the stage in Atlanta recently where she performed songs from her educational website, Karmasworld.com.  See pics inside as well as Bobby Brown's "Don't Let Me Die" video featuring his fiancee Alicia and listen to the new track from Far East Movement featuring Cassie.

10-year-old Karma Bridge hit the stage last week in Atlanta at the Macon Coliseum.  She performed a few of her educational tracks alongside other young talented teens/kids.

The OMG Girlz performed too.

Diggy Simmons also hit the stage.

She later posed with new talent Destiny Underwood.

And Bobby Brown is back.........

Bobby Brown has released the video for "Don't Let Me Die" off the upcoming Masterpiece album (June 5).  The video is composed of cutesy personal footage from his island travels (which may or may not have been shot specifically for this video) so his leading lady is, of course, his fiancee Alicia Etheridge.  Talking about the song, he said:

“I was hands on with the concept of this video, and I am looking forward to having my fans see it. My brother-in law and I had a great time shooting in Jamaica.”

Don't forget to catch Bobby performing the song live on May 28th, as part of the TODAY Show Rockefeller Plaza Concert Series and on "106 & Park" May 29.

Also in music....

The Far East Movement ("Like A G6") invited Cassie to hop on the latest electro-bass track “Fly With U.”  The song will appear on their upcoming album Dirty Bass, due June 12.  Kev Nish talked about the Dallas Austin-produced track to Rap-Up.com saying:

“It’s kinda that love song where you’re at that rave, you’re at the dance party, maybe you’ll find exactly the person you’re looking for.  When the music’s bumping and the night is that one where you’re just living the life, you want to fly with that girl to wherever.”  

And about Cassie, he said, “She brought a super sexy, cute vocal.  We got that group crush.”

As do many....

Will Smith chatted it up with David Letterman where he revealed why he slapped a reporter recently. Watch the clip inside and see what 2 Chainz said about the NYPD and his swag.

We told you earlier that Will Smith slapped a reporter while on his promo runs after the reporter tried to kiss him, and now we know why from the horse's mouth.  He told David Letterman this week, "It was just awkward, Dave.  They were like, 'Oh, no, we’re sorry, you know. It’s just his 'schtick,' you know. And I said, 'well, that’s why his a** got schtuck.'" 

Will breaks down the slap here:

Don't forget Men In Black 3 hits the big screen this Friday.

Also in music........

2 Chainz called into MTV News earlier to complain that the NYPD had tried to assassinate his swag with his arrest yesterday for allegedly having brass knuckles at the airport. He said,

"They tried to assassinate my character, they tried to assassinate my swag.  It was just a negative dilemma earlier where someone misconstrued a piece of jewelry for a weapon and stuff.  Me just trying to explain it was getting too frustrating, me just trying to explain my occupation and then when they finally got to the jail and everybody knew who I was, then they started calling their kids and putting me on the phone with their kids. It was like a weird experience."

On top of that......they kept the ring!  He added, "Yeah, they took it from me. They took the Louis [Vuitton] case that I actually keep the jewelry in, they took that. I couldn't believe it."

On Twitter, he said, "Sorry to alll the negative people who wanted me out the way...kant let u have the game bak that ez....And oh yeh they took my Louis V. traveling case... Smh! Petty I got that from Saudi Arabia...Materials kan b replaced!2blessed2stress. A RING THOUGH!!!"

Ha!

Fab chick Solange Knowles hit the 1's and 2's at last night's Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) Garden Party in NYC.  And she kept with the garden theme by rocking a green and white floral skirt that is actually half hot pant with the matching coat all by designer Flaminia Saccucci.  She always gets it right.

The lovely pics of her, Santigold, and designer Rachel Roy inside...

MoMA's Party in the Garden, an annual fundraiser to benefit the museum's general operating fund, went down inside the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden last night:

DJ/Singer/Songwriter Solange let her creative genius flow in this cute garden party look.  Loves it all--especially that pebble print box clutch.

Solo kept the party rocking all night.

And she exchanged tweets with her followers:

Your right! Ha!! “@richardfleming: I told @solangeknowles to throw em up but I think I confused her! She's rockin MoMa

Meanwhile, Roc Nation artist Santigold hit up the event and performed:

She is set to perform at her boss Jay-Z's "Made In America" festival in Philly Labor Day weekend.

And designer Rachel Roy--who Solange rocks often--made her way to the event.   The party raised $3.8 million for MoMA!

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian took a late night stroll in Cannes, France after Diddy's umpteenth yacht party last night.  And they were also spotted aboard a yacht this morning.  See the pics of the lovey dovey twosome, Diddy, Shyne and Rita Ora inside...... 

Fresh from rocking the stage in London, Kanye West literally jetted over to Cannes, France to take a stroll with his girl Kim K. Earlier, Kim attended the famous VIP Room club at the JW Marriott hotel to kick off her first evening at the Film Festival.

The reality star rocked a body hugging look from Emilio Pucci's Spring/Summer 2012 collection-- composed of a black lace cropped blouse and matching skirt.  Interesting.

Next up, Kanye is performing in Zurich, Switzerland tomorrow night.

Also, Kanye's Cruel Summer debuts at the film festival today. 

And the next morning (today):

The twosome were spotted disembarking from a yacht in Cannes.

Moe pics from last night's party......

Diddy looked dapper and even did a costume change.  

Shyne was there....he posed with Adrien Brody.  I know you're in a much more pure & religious state these days Shyne, but can we change up this wardrobe for just one night on a yacht?

Singer Rita Ora, who will be performing at Philly's Made In America Festival her boss Jay-Z is hosting this Labor Day weekend, was also spotted making the rounds.  I like the non-red lip much better on her.  Pretty.

VH1 has announced the much-anticipated (we think) air dates of both the "BBW" Season 4 Finale and the "BBW" Reunion Special. Get the deets inside...

After a season filled with bottle-throwing, bullying, legal press conferences, name-calling and petition-writing, VH1 is ready to bring season four of "BBW" to a close with their finale and reunion specials.  

According to the press release, the finale airs on Monday, May 28th at 8 PM, where we see the conclusion of the anti-vacation trip to Tahiti and what plays out between Jen and Evelyn.  Still baffled on who FIGHTS in Tahiti.  Wish somebody would....

Then on Monday June 4th and Monday June 11th at 8PM, VH1 airs the two-part “Basketball Wives Reunion Special” which features Shaunie's "apology" about the antics of the cast this season.  

The questions that will be answered: Can Evelyn and Jennifer finally reconcile their differences? Will Tami apologize to Kesha for her behavior in Tahiti? Can these ladies be honest with one another and remain friends?

Need a refresher?  Watch a few clips from last week's episode.

The ladies break down the Evelyn/Jen drama:

Watch the women wait to confront Jen

Tameka Raymond is PISSED!  And after you see her latest rant, you may not totally blame her.  As we all know she and ex-husband Usher have been in dramatic custody hearings all week over their two sons Usher V and Naviyd.  But things came to a head today as Tameka noticed Usher posted the above pic DURING the hearing--just to make her look bad. 

See what she spills about how Usher's been manipulating the media inside...

Tameka tweeted her feelings today--which were clearly bubbling over--about how Usher is attempting to gain sympathy with the public and media.  And doing so in a slick way.

She claims he sneakily snapped the above pic and is behind it getting out--and he made it seem like she was taking joy in making him break down on the stand yesterday.  She says this was actually during a break where she was minding her business drinking her Crystal Light...and their phones were supposed to be turned OFF.

Tameka says folks shouldn't fall for his antics and his hype, because he's just manipulating everyone and slanting things his way.  She told her twitter followers today:

I hope u know that was during a break & him sneaking a text on his cell. Different day from the 'sad' day. Its mischaracterized
the 'machine' is real...
He's playing a mass media game, hence TV appearances that lead to favorable coverage. It complete bulls**t. #Slant

She continued on about how he's manipulating the media:

he's trying garner sympathy. Hmm how did he get that pic the same day to post it???? That was posted during court!

I don't think they're seeing it, because most are blinded by his bright star. He's posting pap pics on his Facebook! Sincere?

And she went on to blame the media for how this custody battle has been spun in what she believes is his favor:

Media is an amazing machine.. so easily bought by politics, money & popularity. Truth is rarely sought.. they show one sided accounts 2 sway
I pray that the truth finally gets out. I didnt start this battle, I filed in response. Research, pls use ur brain & not the obvious show
Signing off for a minute.. the lies are annoying me & yall know I dont hold my tongue much. Im as transparent as they come & I despise lies

Meanwhile, earlier today, TMZ released video of Usher on the stand attempting to defend himself--in a half assed way--when he was accused by Tameka & her lawyer of sleeping with Tameka's bridesmaid Maya Fox Davis...while Usher & Tameka were stil married:

Thankfully, the custody hearing is in recess till July.

Kanye West & his "seven screen immersion experience" for his Cruel Summer film officially premiered tonight at the Cannes Film Festival.  Check out the man of the hour and his chick making their red carpet arrival, plus his homie Jay-Z coming out to support inside.

GQ Senior Editor Logan Hill Tweeted out plenty of details about the film, in case you were wondering what it's about:

Cruel Summer is the story of a Lamborghini car thief who falls for a beautiful blind Arabic girl who's father will let them marry if he can help her see. So he (Kid Cudi) does using strings that lead her around palace to play music.

Kanye West says it's a work in progress but it's wildly stylish, huge booming soundtrack, Vanessa beecroft production design. Immersive fun.

Kanye says he had to get script approval in Qatar. He needed 20 camels, 100 extras, and around 20 Lambos.

His female star (Sarah A., an intern at Doha Film Institute, pictured above) is the star of Cruel Summer.

The film features fashion he designed and pieces by local Arabic designers, shot in 4 days, 3 months start to almost-finish.

Amanda Palmer of Doha Film Inst says Cruel Summer will premiere November 19 as part of festival in Doha.
