Rihanna has cancelled her ANTI World Tour stop in Nice, France (which was supposed to go down today) after the unfortunate terrorist attack on Bastille Day. Details inside….

Rihanna has cancelled her show in Nice, France following a terror attack. An 18-wheeler truck plowed through crowds of people during Bastille Day celebrations on Thursday night, claiming the lives of 84 people (including two Americans) and injured 100 others (at the time of this post). According to CNN, the driver, who was fatally shot by police, reportedly had guns and explosives inside the vehicle.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and authorities did not release information about a motive. French prosecutor François Molins says it falls in line with previous terrorist attacks.

The “Work” singer was in the French Riviera city at the time ahead of a concert at the Allianz Stadium in Nice, France, as part of her ANTI World Tour. Rih’s rep confirmed to Billboard that she and her crew are safe.

Following the attack, Rih announced the cancellation of her show and sent out prayers for those who were affected by the tragedy, posting:

Fans who copped tickets will be refunded their money for the concert and the show will not be postponed:

 

 

The Grammy Award winner has a few ofther dates in France that have NOT been cancelled. Outside of the July 15th date in Nice, the ANTI World Tour will continue as scheduled:

 

  

Rihanna's next performance is scheduled for Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany at the Commerzbank-Arena.

 

Prayers up for Nice, France!

We told you Iron Man was getting transformed into a black 15-year-old prodigy named Riri Williams. Now we know, cutie Skai Jackson is the visual inspiration for the new superhero. Deets inside….

 photo ririiron1.jpg

As we previously reported, Iron Man is getting a huge make over. Tony Stark will be handing over his Iron Man suit after part two of Captain America: Civil War is completed. And Riri Williams, a black 15-year-old teen prodigy who is a science genius enrolled at MIT, will be taking over.

Iron Man co-creator Brian Bendis said recently a real life young woman from Chicago was the inspiration behind the new superhero. Now, we know who inspired her look.

 photo ririiron.jpg

According to co-creator Mike Deodato Jr., Disney starlet Skai Jackson inspired Riri’s appearance (noted by Blavity). YAS! Let’s keep our fingers crossed she also nabs the role!

As for Riri’s Iron Man armor, here’s a sneak peek at what she’ll be wearing:

Interesting. Anything men can do...

A Dashiki-Clad Lamar Odom Made It To NYC, Hits The Strip Club Scene HEAVY!

Lamar Odom has returned to his old stomping grounds in Queens and he’s living the bachelor life hitting up several strip clubs throughout the week. Oh, and he’s been rocking dashikis all week as well. Has he been watching "The People vs. OJ" or nah?  More inside…

Well, Lamar Odom did make it to the east coast after an incident on a Delta flight earlier in the week.

The former NBA baller was escorted off of a flight TWICE after throwing up everywhere for reportedly being intoxicated. But now that he’s back in Queens (where he grew up), he isn’t wasting any time living it up.

 photo VINN3.jpg

 photo VINN1.jpg

Since his soon-to-be ex-wife Khloe Kardashian kicked him out of the Calabasas, Calif. home she was renting for him to stay at, he headed back to his old neighborhood. Upon arriving, Lamar headed straight to strip club.  Actually, several strip clubs.

According to several reports, the former Lakers baller has been partying all week, leaving venues in the wee hours of the morning. He and his homies (and a few female friends) hit up Cityscapes Gentlemen’s Club earlier in the week and last night he and his crew had some fun at Playroom nightclub.

 photo lamo2.jpg

Since it seems Lamar has gone back to his old drinking ways, one would assume he would have been throwing back spirits while out on the town, but Cityscapes owner (above) said he didn’t drink any alcohol while there.

 

 

A photo posted by Princess (@finestt_manuella) on

 

“He was in very high spirits,” the owner told Us Weekly. He said Lamar (above at Cityscapes) didn’t any drink alcohol at the venue, ordering water and cranberry juice instead. Well that’s a surprise.

 

We also noticed Lamar has been on a dashiki trend lately. He’s been spotted wearing several different prints as he made his rounds around town.  Reminds us of a certain other athelete who fell from grace, and from the praises of mainstream America, who suddenly found "his people" again....

Let's hope the stripclub owner is telling the truth about Lamar not drinking. Nobody wants another brothel episode....

Drake enjoyed a chill night in L.A. while Jaden Smith partied with Kendall Jenner for the opening of a new club. On the east coast, Michal “Bae” Jordan got all sexy for the Piaget Polo S launch. We’ve got all the pics inside…

Hey Zaddy!

Before he kicks off his Summer Sixteen tour with Future, hottie Drake was spotted out and about in L.A. last night. And as you can see, the beard that had everyone naming the Young Money rapper their new #MCM is back in full effect.  ThankYaJesus!

He just arrived to the west coast after spending a few days this week in his second fave city of Houston filming a video for Child's Play.  The locations: VLive stripclub and he was also spotted at the Cheesecake Factory.  His two fave places in the H too (based on his lyrics).

The Canadian rapper arrived at the Nice Guy last night to chow down on some good eats with a few of the homies:

Drizzy will join forces with Future for his Summer Sixteen tour that is scheduled to kick off July 20th in Austin, TX. We wonder if Rihanna will pop up on a few dates like he did for her ANTI World Tour for severalshows (and the hotel room early in the morning). The two have a collabo track on Drake's VIEWS album titled "Too Good," so it's possible.

 

Elsewhere in the city...

 photo VERR2.jpg

Jaden Smith, who has several features in a few magazines this month, stepped out to hit the party scene with his homie Kendall Jenner. The now 18-year-old (he celebrated a birthday last week) showed support for his friend Kendall who was hosting the opening of a new club in downtown L.A. called Skyspace.

G.O.O.D. Music rapper Travis Scott was also in attendance for a performance.

Jaden, who stars in the new Netflix series "The Get Down" premiering August 12th, was seen getting into a red vehicle after having fun with his friends inside.

Peep a clip of Jaden turning up with Kendall in the audience as Travis rocked the stage below:

 

And here's a behind-the-scenes clip of Jaden showing off his gold grill for Kendall's SnapChat. Kim West was also there and she snapped Kendall snapping Jaden.  Because it's never enough snapping in that family:

During the event, the Hollywood hottie (above alongside actor Ryan Reynolds) teased that there could possibly be a sequel in the works to follow up CREED.

He told E! News, "I think we're definitely going to see a Creed 2. I'm not sure when or the time frame, but you're definitely going to see a Creed 2. The way those characters kind of left off and the way you want to see how they turned out—that new family between Adonis and Rocky formed with Bianca—you kind of want to see how that plays out."

Chris Rock & Girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke Do Date Night In London + Nick Cannon Finally Dishes About Dating Chilli!

Chris Rock and his girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke took their love to London for a romantic date night. Meanwhile, there are rumors that Nick Cannon and Chilli and Nick is gushing about her in a new interview. Are they dating? Find out inside…

Funnyman Chris Rock and his new girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke are still going strong since making their red carpet debut at the Oscars in February. At the time she claimed she was too busy for a relationship, but that was likely to keep the focus off of her relationship and more on her acting career. We've spotted them together a few times since then.

The happy couple enjoyed a romantic date night at London's Chiltern Firehouse last night and was spotted leaving the venue together.

 photo VINN2_1.jpg

The 33-year-old "Arrow" actress was summer date night ready in a plunging sheer white lace gown. She let her long blonde twists hand down her back and kept her makeup to a minimum.  Meanwhile, her 51-year-old EMMY winning boyfriend kept it simple in a navy blue and black shirt and black pants.

Well aren't they cute.

In gossip news...

 photo nickchilli.jpg

Word on the curb is that Nick Cannon and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas are dating! Yep, caught us off guard too.

Over the weekend, the 35-year-old “America’s Got Talent” host and the 45-year-old TLC member, who's currently filming the new Thurgood Marshall biopic,  were reportedly spotted hugging and kissing at WDKX's Summerfest Concert in Rochester, New York. Not only that, a source told E! News that Nick and Chilli have been “hanging out romantically” since the beginning of summer. Oh?

Well, E! News caught up with Nick, who’s currently in the midst of a divorce from Mariah Carey, at the Gleason documentary premiere in L.A. where he gushed about his “situationship” with Chilli.

"She's an outstanding person but you gotta ask her what's going on,” Nick said. "I'm new to this! How does this whole thing work?" he said, joking, "Right now I'm damaged goods, I need to be repaired."

When asked if he and Chilli are in an official relationship he said, "Ooh, you used the 'R word already? That is definitely my friend, someone I care dearly for. I'd be so lucky to be able to...be called dating someone like that."

He likes himself a cougar doesn't he? We could see this one working if he meets her long list of requirements. We know she likes a man a man who doesn't drink, smoke, or curse, who’s physically fit, and she likes them young. It could work.

We know you all know by now, but be sure to tune in to the "Power" season 3 premiere on July 17th at 9pm on STARZ.

By the way, 50 Cent's son Marquise Jackson just landed his first major role in an indie project titled Dope Fiend, also starring #MalikYoba. Looks like Marquise is making his own lane in the acting world without his father's help. Good for him!

Tatyana Ali SUES "The Real" Execs & Production -- "You Stole My Talk Show Idea!"

Tatyana Ali is PISSED.  She just sued everybody involved with "The Real" for allegedly stealing her talk show idea.  Check it inside....

Tatyana Ali is NOT here for "The Real."  The "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" actress filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros., the show's production company Telepictures, Hilary Estes McLoughlin, then-president of creative affairs at CBS Television Distribution, and Sheila Bouttier, who was SVP Development at Telepictures Productions, claiming they stole her talk show idea.

In 2012, about six months before the show aired during its summer run, Tatyana says she pitched her idea for a talk show to Telepictures execs.  They decided to decline.  Tatyana says, though, once "The Real" aired, she felt like that was her concept coming to life.

“With a great deal of disappointment and complete disbelief,” the suit says, Ali “witnessed [her] concept come to life on major network television at the hands of the Defendant Corporations.”

Damn.

Deadline reports about the lawsuit:

The suit claims Ali came up with an idea for a reality-based daytime talk show with “a unique and innovative format, which featured an eclectic group of engaging female celebrity hosts, each aged within their 20’s and 30’s … designed to pique the interest of the younger side of the mid-life/mid-career female population and featured a variety of contemporary discussion topics in a relaxed and informal setting.”

The makeup of the show "closely resembles" what Tatyana pitched as well, according to the lawsuit:

“The five female host panel cast members very closely embody and mirror the personal and professional profiles of the specific and potential female celebrity hosts openly proposed in writing and in discussion by the Plaintiff during ‘pitch’ meetings she held with the Executives,” the suit says. “The Defendant Corporations did not at any time, directly or indirectly, acknowledge the use of the Plaintiff’s Concept.”

Hmm.  While it sounds like the description of any panel-style talk show currently on the air, maybe Tatyana has more details up her sleeve to prove her story.

The engaged mom-to-be is demanding unspecified damages from “all rightful gains, profits, and advantages derived by the Defendants.”  That's not all.  She wants a collective trust of “designated percentages of the proceeds resulting from past, current and future production and airing of The Real television program.”

Chick wants her COIN.

By the way, Tatyana appeared on "The Real" in its summer test run in August of 2013:

Mariah Carey slipped into her leotard and her fur to pose it up for the 101st issue of CLASH magazine. Get into her sexed up cover inside...

 

Now THIS is how you do photoshop...if you're gonna do it.

MiMi let the UK mag into her pop queen, glittering life while in Paris to catch them up with her European tour.  She did her interview while getting in several expensive shopping trips, being swarmed by fans and paparazzi, and maneuvering with a bustling entourage.

In a candid interview, the ‘Fantasy’ hitmaker opened up to Clash about her reality TV series, her intimate relationship with her fans, motherhood, and determination that’s driven her from hard times to world domination.

Mariah, who's currently on vacay aboard a yacht somewhere on a European coast with her fiance James Packer, told the mag about how her twins ROc & Roe manage with the jetsetting life they've surely become accustomed to. 

"I want them to still feel normal," Carey told Clash. "So, if they don't like traveling around at some point, they won't have to travel around," she said. "But they love traveling. They love flying. If I keep them home for like five days, they're like, 'When are we going on an airplane?'"

"They really love it," she added. "They love doing all these things and seeing places—they love the Eiffel Tower. It's amazing, you know what I mean? I just have the best time with them."

Next up for the Glitter queen: Another round of her Vegas residency in August and September, then three shows in Brazil in November.

Well looka here.  Waka Flocka may have won his woman back afterall.  Check out Waka and wife Tammy reuniting for the world to see inside...

Currently on "LAHH: ATL," the separation between Waka Flocka and wife Tammy Rivera Malphurs is playing out.  They've also taken their separation to social media, with Waka working hard to get his woman back.  He's been admitting to what he did wrong and telling anyone who'll listen hes a big enough man to change.

Meanwhile, Tammy's been working on her swimsuit line while posting thirst trap pics and videos that we're not even mad at.

Tammy move out with her daughter Charlie into a condo.  And the two have been on the outs for months.

But today, all that seemed to change.  Tammy popped up on Periscope while getting her hair and makeup done before the ATL Car & Bike Show, and Mr. Flame popped up too. 

 photo IMG_3635_zpstettg8fv.jpg

He responded to commenters who kept calling him a "lynig cheatin' n***" and said they just want to see Tammy lonely like them.  Bloop.

So, about those rumors of Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert splitting up....think again.  See the couple's indirect message inside...

What divorce?

Looks like Tamar heard the rumor that surfaced a few days ago saying she and Vince were on the outs because she supposedly cheated.  Reports stated that the two were on the verge of divorce and she and Vince were no longer together.

But not so fast.  Tay Tay let us inside her home this weekend, and Vince is still there.  And they are still looking happy as ever.

Tay posted videos of her singing to Vince and him looking at her with that hilarious "what is she doing" look like he always does.  And it looks like everything is all is good in their household.

Neither directly addressed the rumors, but it's pretty obvious they were letting the world know their marriage is still on and poppin', and nothing's changed:

 

After all these years he STILL hates when I sing in his ear #Tamar&Vince

Well, Drake's was a few diss bars.  He and French Montana released the full version, of their "No Shopping" track Saturday night.  And just as Joe Budden predicted (and already responded to TWICE), Drizzy has a few bars for him.

The 6 God kicks things off saying "Pump, Pump, Pump It Up," so you already know where this is going.  Check out "No Shopping" below where the fellas rap about not being one hit wonders and never taking "a bird" shopping:

Joe must have had one waiting in the chamber, because he dropped this third diss track in response just hours later.  Peep "Afraid" below:

He surprised folks.  Many actually thought it was pretty decent.

Last time we checked, these two were friends/mutual fans of each other.  But things change quickly in the rap game.

 

Speaking of changes:

Sheesh.  Who knew?!

 

Well he's putting his apparently far reaching platform to good use.  He just pledged to stop using violence in the lyrics of his new music after his Dreamchasers 4 album/mixtape that's already on deck.  He said this weekend:

Once I found out I wasn't born to fail and just fall victim to a fake ass life that don't offer shit but a jail,death i carry myself with extreme confidence and I know my value... even tho that's where we came from and all most of us has ever experienced in life! Wake up! Don't question my raps because it's a life we lived and suffered from, I have a right to express my myself! BY THE WAY ....AFTER DC4 I won't continue to rap about extreme violence!!! But I will remain to let my people know in these terrible environments to adapt and survive at any cost because "US BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL AT WAR WITH OURSELVES AND THE SYSTEM IN REAL LIFE! #grammarcheck I don't talk the "AMERICAN ENGLISH" because I don't believe in it...I never cared about writing or speaking that way! I dont dress that way .... I'm doing me better yet doing #us

The change was prompted by him attending the funeral of his good friend Chino's brother recently, his own jail stint, and all of the young black men losing their lives in these streets at the hands of each other or police. 

When you turn your test into a testimony....

Nice job Meek!

Oh baby!  Keshia Knight Pulliam is pregnant!  Deest inside on her big reveal....

Actress Keshia Knight Pulliam had a bag of surprises for her friends this weekend.  When she invited her girls over for brunch, she revealed the big news: She and husband Ed Hartwell are expecting! 

The newlyweds, who got hitched in secret (until revealing the news afterwards) this past January, are having a baby girl.

Keshia debuted her baby bump under her denim button down after teasing her followers on Instagram with "big news" she was going to release on her "Kandidly Keshia" podcast next week.

Her friends posted the above pics that gave it away.

 

Surprise!!! We have a new addition coming soon... Tune into #KandidlyKeshia this week for the details!!

Keshia's mom expressed her excited saying she's happy to become a grandma for the third time (Keshia's brother has two kiddies) posting up a pic of the first time mom-to-be.

As for how Ed's ex Lisa Wu Hartwell is going to take the news after she felt some kind of way about Ed not telling her he was getting re-married:

 

“We are actually great. After I got it out and addressed it, it’s fine. EJ’s happy, that’s all I care about. I was disappointed, but life moves on,” she told HipHollywood earlier this month.

The reality star and "Hollywood Divas" producer also talked about co-parenting with Keshia:

“We will probably end up being like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore and their situation, you know how you blend?”

She added,“When you do that and you mend — there’s no hate going on. It’s just the way that I found out about it. Other than that, my son is happy. He likes her. That’s all that matters. She’s great to my son, then I’m great to her. If she wasn’t, then there would be a problem.”

Congrats to Keshia & her hubby Ed!

Kanye West's Wife Posts Video Of Him Calling Taylor Swift To Tell Her About "Famous" Before Its Release, Taylor Claps Back

Apparently, we're still talking about this.  After Kanye West's wife Kim Kardashian went off about Taylor Swift in her recent GQ article saying Taylor played the victim role about that 'Famous" song lyric, she just released receipts to prove Taylor did, in fact, know about the song beforehand.

 

Deets inside...

As you already know by now, Taylor Swift has been vocal about being allegedly blindsided by Kanye referencing her on "Famous." 

On the track from The Life of Pablo album, Kanye says he feel like him and Taylor could still have sex, then says "I made that b*tch famous."

Remember when Taylor alluded to someone -- seemingly Kanye -- "taking credit for [her] accomplishments" during her Grammy acceptance speech right after this release? Well Kim addressed that in the new GQ saying:

Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he’s called me a bitch in his songs. That’s just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping] ‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’ Not in a million years. I don’t know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden … It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I’m so against this, and I’ll just laugh and say, ‘The joke’s on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I’m like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again. HMPH.

Both chicks tend to play the victim role pretty often, so this fallout is popcorn worthy.

Taylor famously said she knew nothing about the song.  Her brother even flipped out after its release, throwing his Yeezys in the garbage on Instagram.

Kanye responded saying he called Taylor and got her approval of the line while he was in the studio making the track.

Now, there's proof.

Kim posted up a series of Snaps where Kanye is seen in the studio speaking on the phone to who is supposedly Taylor, and we have every reason to believe that voice belongs to her.

In the videos, after Kanye reads her the line about them having sex, she says,"It's kind of like a compliment."

Taylor is also heard saying, "If people ask me about it," she says, "I'll tell them, 'Oh, he called me beforehand to tell me about it.' "

 

 

He does NOT, however, say the part about "I made that b*tch famous."

It seems the b*tch line is missing from the videos.  Why wouldn't Kanye/Kim include that line when it's definitely the one line that's probably causing issues?

Taylor's response to the shenanigans:

 

That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet.

Kelly Price Explains Singing "As We Lay" At A Gospel Expo & Upsetting The Saints

Yikes! Kelly Price is catching heat from church folk for singing her track “As We Lay” at a gospel expo. Hear her side of what went down inside….

The Saints are coming for Kelly Price!

Over the weekend, the R&B diva hit the stage at the Indiana Black Expo Gospel Showcase 2016 for a performance that has the congregation up in arms. Kelly hit the stage to perform one of her songs.  She oddly decided on her hit single “As We Lay.”  Chile....

Now, church folk are dragging her on social media for her song selection.

Peep a clip of her singing below:

 

 

While singing a song about a man and woman having an affair at a gospel expo does seem taboo, Kelly says people started going in on her without knowing the facts.  She claims there was a bit of a misunderstanding.

This morning, she clapped back at the saints. In a series of videos she posted to her Instagram account, Kelly reveals she was asked to perform her music (not her gospel tracks) at the event. She says after her performance, she didn’t appreciate the lady emcee who commented on her performance calling it inappropriate.  Dang, the emcee said it right then and there though?  Savage!

Kelly, who is the daughter of a preacher, says she’s fed up with the church bigotry and that it’s unacceptable.

“Church bigotry is unacceptable,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Either truly represent Christ views and his love or shut up! Christians are the ones who make Christ look bad! We cannot win people because all they see is hate and shade. #ImGodsChildToo”

In one clip she said, “I just off the stage at the Black Expo in Indianapolis and I had a very, very disheartening experience. ….. I think this type of ignorance and this type of church bigotry is ridiculous and is the reason why people won’t come to church because they run into this type of thing I am very, very angry and I needed to let everybody know that this is not right.”

Maybe Kelly was trying to show the aftermath of feeding the flesh (an affair) and not recognizing the devil?

 

 

Church bigotry must die so the love of Christ can shine! @iamgabbyj

A video posted by Kelly Price (@mskellyprice) on

 

In another clip, Kelly gets choked up while trying to explain why she decided to sing the song she did. “I can’t believe I’m still talking about this, she started. “I am the church girl who forreal grew up in the church, but foreal grew up in the industry. I know why people stay away from church people because I’ve heard what they’ve said about church people. People don’t want to know who God is because of the way church people represent him. I’m so hurt and I’m so angry. This is wrong and it has to stop.”

 

 

When does it end ....

A video posted by Kelly Price (@mskellyprice) on

 

 

 

She also expressed her frustrations via Twitter by reading her critics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly's friend/producer Rico Love came to her defense saying Kelly didn't even know it was gospel concert:

 photo kpgos2.png

And the Indiana Black Expo just took to their Facebook page saying it wasn't Kelly's fault as she wasn't scheduled to perform during the Gospel time slots.  They changed the time of her performance and it ended up running close to the Gospel Expo portion. 

 

 

Hmmm...

So, saints and sinners, what are your thoughts on Kelly's performance after hearing HER side of the story?

If the rumors are true, Tinashe has found love in a hopeless place. And Calvin Harris (Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend) may be the man who has swept her off her feet. Details of their alleged summer romance inside…

Let the rumors began!

It appears R&B singer Tinashe has hooked up with a high profile celebrity to amp up her status. According to Page Six, Tinashe and Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris are currently dating.

A source tells the site the “Superlove” singer and the DJ are dating, although things are still casual between the two at the moment. The source revealed, “They have been seeing each other on the DL. It’s only been weeks, so it’s still pretty casual right now. They’ve been on a few dates.”

Apparently, Tinashe and Calvin met back in 2014 while working in the studio together on their collaboration track “Dollar Signs.” It's also rumored they were writing tracks for Rihanna at the time.

Their most recent date was over the weekend where they enjoyed Japanese delicacies at Nobu in Malibu.

Said source was on the scene during their date night and said, “They stayed in touch and recently started hanging out again.”

Interesting. These coupledom shots of the twosome popped up on Instagram recently, and they look like they're from inside the studio.
