Somebody Once Robbed & Attacked Naomi Campbell In Paris (And She Says Her Driver Was In On It!)

Naomi Campbell opens up about one of the scariest moments in her life, and why she sympathizes with Kim Kardashian West. More inside…

With a brand new series premiering, Naomi Campbell is hot on the promo trail to promote the new FOX series “Star.”

The iconic supermodel stopped by the “Wendy Williams Show” today where she let us in on something we never knew about her. While talking about her friendship with Kim Kardashian West, the YBF model said she sympathized with Kim during her Paris ordeal because she, too, was robbed in Paris.

“I sympathize with her a lot. I kept mine on the down low, but in 2012 I was attacked in Paris. They followed me from the airport. They attacked me, they opened my car door and said ‘Naomi Campbell we’re going to kill you.’ I didn’t make it so public, I didn’t want it to be.”

The “Empire” star said she took a quick trip from Switzerland to Paris to see fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa. She said she didn’t call any security because she figured she didn’t need it for such a short trip.

“I went to the car, and it wasn’t my normal driver. And it was weird because he had the window rolled down, rolled all the way down. It was freezing cold in November, right before Thanksgiving. I was like, ‘Wait a minute! This is weird.’"

She revealed how skipping out on taking a trip to the pharmacy may have saved her life.

"I wanted to stop at a pharmacy. My papa [Azzedine] called me and said, ‘My daughter, where are you? We’re ready to eat dinner.’ At that point, I abandoned the idea. Thank God because [the incident] was outside Azzedine Alaïa’s shop. That’s where the entrance is to get into the house. [My friends] came out and saved me, basically. 

"I don’t know if I’d ever do this again in hindsight — ‘Am I going to let this guy take my bag with all my passports or am I going to fight for it?’ My decision was, ‘I am not letting my bag go.’"

So scary!

Naomi said she believed Kim’s story soon as she heard it because of her own run-in with robbers and knowing several other high profile celebrities have gone through the same thing over the years. She didn’t drop any names though.

Peep the clip below:

OH? Safaree Samuels Wants That Old Thing Back With Nicki Minaj, Says He's Open To Reunion

Nicki Minaj confirmed she’s single yesterday and her ex-fiancé Safaree Samuels is already shooting his shot. More inside…

With Nicki Minaj on the market, it seems all the fellas are trying their hand. But, there’s one man in particular who wants a chance with Nicki and we’re confused.

Yesterday, the Young Money rapper confirmed on social media that she’s a single lady, ending her almost two-year relationship with rapper Meek Mill. No word on who broke up with who, but Meek has been posting some shady posts on Instagram (then deleting them) alluding that Nicki walked out on him.

Well, Nicki’s ex-fiance Safaree Samuels says he would be open to getting back with the “Anaconda” raptress if she were open to it. His rep dished to TMZ that Safaree never stopped loving Nicki and is ready to start communicating again.

 photo saftweet.png

He's funny.

He also says Meek did absolutely nothing for her career and that Meek himself was the one who gained the most from their relationship.  We gotta agree there.

With the way Saf and Nicki went back and forthon social media airing out their dirty laundry, it seems weird he would be so quick to want to reunite. And didn't he say she only dates for publicity? Maybe he's looking to be in the limelight. We guess you can’t help who you love...if love is actually at play.

Do you think Nicki will take him back?

A brand new crime/action thriller is gearing up to take over the box office and it stars some of your YBF faves, including Gabrielle Union, Jamie Foxx and T.I.

Sleepless follows a police detective named Vincent (played by Jamie Foxx) who steals a huge bag of cocaine from a powerful drug lord. Apparently, Vincent had no idea the drugs belonged to the drug lord. The king pin kidnaps Vincent's son, whom he shares with Gabrielle Union’s character, threatening to kill him if he doesn’t return his supply. T.I. plays Jamie’s partner in the flick.

For the film’s premiere….

This is how Gabrielle Union stepped out on the red carpet at the Sleepless L.A. premiere held at the Regal LA Live Stadium 14 Theatre last night.

Gabby shut it down in a deep plunging metallic chiffon Thakoon gown. It’s a simple, yet effortlessly chic gown that she pulled off with perfection. The sleek long bob and barely there makeup pulls the look together perfectly.

Jhene Aiko Is A M***a F***in’ 'Maniac' In Self-Directed Video + August Alsina Gets Addicted On New Track “Drugs”

Jhene Aiko is a maniac in the bedroom and she likes to be bound and gagged. Get into her self-directed visual “Maniac” and listen to August Alsina’s addictive new track “Drugs” inside…

Jhene Aiko likes it rough in the bedroom and she’s serving up sexual new visuals for her new track “Maniac” where she makes her directorial debut.

“Maniac” is the leading track from her upcoming untitled sophomore solo LP, the follow up to her solo debut album Souled Out.

The visuals show the R&B singer bound and gagged while tied to a hospital bed in the asylym-set. Oh?

 photo jhene3.png

While coming up with the concept of the video, Jhene said she wanted to explore what it means to be a manic. So, she did extensive research on old asylums and learned the "bizarre techniques that were used back in the day to treat mental patients."

"There are so many layers to my personality, Jhene tells Rolling Stone.“One of them is very sexual and 'Maniac' is me sharing that side of myself.”

Hmm...we're sure her boyfriend Big Sean is loving all of it.

 photo jhenem2.png

Jhene said the timing of the visuals coincides with a recent bipolar disorder diagnosis.

"I learned that lots of women were admitted for absurd reasons, including being 'nymphomaniacs' and were basically tortured in the name of treatment," she said. "Ironically, I released 'Maniac' at a time where I had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, so my interest in the research was genuine. I think we all have some sort of imbalance, but I also believe that we can overcome it. I find my balance through creating art. The 'Maniac' visual is the story of a mental patient who finds her own cure."

Interesting.

Peep the visuals below:

 

In new music...

R&B crooner August Alsina didn’t make much of a splash on the music scene in 2016 outside of be featured on DJ Khaled's "Do You Mind." But, it appears he’s ready to take over 2017.

August dropped his new buzz track (he says it's not a single) “Drugs” where he croons about being additiced to the woman in his life. He sings,

"And I can't seem to find you nowhere/ Baby you got me patrollin'/ 'Cause you been on the run Forest Gumpin'/ Girl, don't hide it/ I'm just tryna do this dirty laundry/ I got a few towels to throw in/ Just lick my blunt when I roll it”

Take a listen to his comeback track below:

 

 

Sounds like he’s gearing up to drop his junior LP soon.

Shirley Caesar Backtracks On Defending Kim Burrell, “Let’s Go On With Our Lives”

Pastor Shirley Caesar seems to be backtracking with the statements she made about Kim Burrell’s anti-gay sermon. Find out what she said inside…

All hell broke loose when Kim Burrell served up an anti-gay sermon via Facebook Live.

Pastor Shirley Caesar didn’t waste any time to speak up in support. But now, she’s seemingly backtracking.

During a sitdown conversation with Bishop George Bloomer., the Gospel singer tries to explain what she meant during a sermon at First Baptist Church of Glenarden Wednesday night. She said, “You (Kim Burrell) should've said something 4 years ago when our President made that stuff alright."

Well, she appears to be preaching to a different tune now. She said,

“Actually, what I was saying, Bishop, is why now? Why wait till now to be bothered with something like this? My thing is that, that was then, this is now. Let’s go forward with our lives. I want to say not only to their community, every church community, let’s go on with out lives now. Time is too short. Eternity it too long. We don’t have time for a bunch of foolishness.”

She said she never said anything to harm anyone and that she doesn’t have time for that. Pastor Caesar wants everyone to put “that stuff” behind them and move on.

Check out the clip:

We wonder if she decided to address the controversy since she’s receiving so much backlash on social media.

Makes you wonder….

Kim Burrell DROPPED As BMI Gospel Trailblazer Award Honoree

The backlash against Kim Burrell after her anti-gay sermon just keeps on growing.  Now, she's been dropped as an honoree at a major music awards event.  Details inside...

The BMI organization wants NO parts of the Kim Burrell tragedy.

It's less than two weeks before BMI’s 18th annual Trailblazers of Gospel Music event, and Broadcast Music, Inc. just yanked Kim Burrell from their program.  She was named as one of two honorees, the second being Marvin Sapp, back in November.

BMI’s Trailblazers of Gospel Music is an annual celebration of gospel music and its many talented songwriters, but Kim for sure won't be celebrating with them this year.

"Given the controversy surrounding this year’s co-honoree Kim Burrell, we have asked her to not take part in the ceremony in order to allow the focus to remain on the songwriters and their music," the BMI organization said in a statement Friday afternoon.

They explain further stating,"BMI was founded over 76 years ago with an open door policy to welcome songwriters across all genres, and that same spirit of tolerance, diversity and inclusiveness continues today."

The event is scheduled to go on January 14th at the Rialto Center for the Arts in Atlanta.  The organization says the event "serves to pay tribute to the very best of the gospel music community." Former Trailblazers award recipient Yolanda Adams will host (we hear Kim might be seething about that fact) alongside gospel singer-songwriter VaShawn Mitchell.

Kim's new Christian-based radio how was also dropped from Texas Southern University's radio programming. She was also dis-invited from "Ellen" after being booked to sing her Hidden Figures soundtrack duet with Pharrell.

Ciara Ends $15 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Future + Go Inside The Wilsons' Cutesy Date Night

Looks like the ongoing court war between Ciara and Future has come to an end. Plus, go inside CiCi and Russell's cutesy date night inside…

Ciara is kicking off 2017 on a positive note. The pregnant R&B singer has dropped her $15 million defamation lawsuit filed against her son’s father Future after he called her a bad mother in a series of tweets and a radio interview. 

It’s being reported she filed legal documents in Superior Court in Fulton County, GA and that the case has been dismissed “with prejudice,” which means she can’t refile it.

In June 2016, the Atlanta rapper withdrew his lawsuit against CiCi that he launched in response to her defamation suit.

TMZ sources said Future didn’t cough up any cash to Ciara for having the lawsuit dropped, so it appears they have called a truce of some sorts.

Good for them.

With all of that behind her, the pregnant R&B singer enjoyed a super cute date night with her husband Russell Wilson last night. In the SnapChat clips, Ciara was like a giggly school girl.

Get into their black love cuteness below:

 

 

 

Something very sexy about a man claiming what's his!

"I cannot believe my life right now that Meryl Streep spoke at my Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony with my handsome husband and a beautiful daughter and my family. It's like my life flashing before my eyes and all I can say is God has blessed my life in abundance."

These are just the words we needed to hear.  FLOTUS Michelle Obama proved once again why the game needs her as she gave her final speech as First Lady.  Get into it inside, plus the celeb-filled guest list including LaLa Anthony, Kelly Rowland, Usher and more...

While rocking a power red Narciso Rodriguez dress, Michelle Obama (and that perfect bob) went out with a bang at the White House.

During the 2017 School Counselor of the Year event in the East Room of the White House Friday afternoon, Mrs. Obama used her annual White House tradition to incorporate her final inspiration for the country.

She told the crowd and the world via live stream:

"I want our young people to know that they matter. That they belong. So don't be afraid—you hear me, young people, don't be afraid. Be focused. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Empower yourselves with a good education. Then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise. Lead by example with hope, never fear. And know that I will be with you, rooting for you and working to support you for the rest of my life...Being your First Lady has been the greatest honor of my life, and I hope I've made you proud."

We're (seemingly) never going to see this package of beauty, class and intelligence again in a First Lady, so you better soak it all up now.  Get inspired below:

Education loving celebs were also there to help FLOTUS promote her #BetterMakeRoom higher education message:

There's a slim-to-none chance we'll ever see this much YBFness slaying in the White House again in our lifetime.  So get into the most epic bash thrown in the White House, all to celebrate The Obamas' last eight years.

The celeb-filled guest list was one for the books Friday night at the White House for The Obamas' final bash.  Before phones were confiscated (and you know that means The Obamas planned to cut ALL the way up, deservedly so), Hollywood gave us a peek at what was going down.  Everybody and their grandma was in the mix, making the night extra lit.  Beyonce, Jay Z and Oprah were also invited.

LaLa Anthony and Kelly Rowland changed clothes from their earlier event with FLOTUS as she gave her last speech.   We're obsessed with La's dress, per usual, and Kelly is also looking gorgeous as usual.

Even the performances were lit.  Earth, Wind and Fire, The Roots, Pharrell and Solange all rocked their soundchecks.  Solo said:

The sound check of life... Was truly the ultimate, ultimate honor. Can't even put into words. Really. We will miss your excellence, your grace, and the phenomenal legacy you have let us all share. #obamaout
