Nelly Gets Snappy About Ashanti & His "Cold Career" On The Breakfast Club + Rick Ross Stops By "Chelsea Lately"

$

Nelly's sexy self rolled into The Breakfast Club this morning to chat about why his career isn't on top of the game anymore and why he continues to stay mum about his girl Ashanti.  And he offered up some subtle threats to Charlamagne after getting grilled by him about his "cold career".   We've got the interview and highlights inside.  Plus, Rick Ross makes an appearance on "Chelsea Lately"....

Nelly's got his seventh studio album coming out this fall, M.O., so he's making his promo rounds.   And he's talking about why he stays mum on Ashanti, how he feels about not being #1 in the game, and more.

On beef with Flo Rida

Nelly says the song "Apple Bottom Jeans" was not originally his like people think, it was indeed Flo's. There's no beef with Flo even though it seems like the now bald rapper jacked his style. Nelly says he respects the fact Flo was a fan of his and made his own mark on music.

On his "cold career"

Charlamagne questioned him--several times--on how he felt about his career not being at the top like it used to be. Nelly got slightly offended and said that's his opinion. But a career has ups and downs--as long as you're around that's what matters.

On his relationship with Ashanti

"Like I said before, me and baby girl are real cool. It's not going to change until we want to change it."  Nelly said people think it's only his decision on whether or not they discuss their relationship publicly--it was a mutual decision.

On his ventures outside of music

Apple Bottom Jeans is still around with two stores in Dubai.  It's been around for 10 years and the only urban female clothing line around for that long.  He still owns Troop brand and just opened a school in St. Louis.  He's also making an appearance on Queen Latifah's upcoming CW music competition show "The Next".  He also may do the actual tv show "Househusbands" with Kevin Hart.  And he still has his part ownership of the Bobcats.

On loving "Love & Hip Hop ATL" and if he would work with Joseline

"You know what; I think it's made for TV. When people get upset about that show, I think they taking it seriously and there's nothing to be taken seriously about that show, it's entertainment. I tune in to laugh. I think Stevie J is made for television!"

"Yeah, I would [laugh and hang up if Stevie J asked me to work with Joseline.] I definitely would, but you know what, I'd tune in to watch him get on the phone and ask."

 

Check out the interview in full above.

 

And last night, while promoting his upcoming God Forgives, I Don't album, Rick Ross hopped on "Chelsea Lately" to chop it up with every rapper's fave blonde to flirt with. 

The two started off the convo about sex--of course.  Chelsea hilariously said she loves big black men.  And Ricky proposed an elopement--but said he wants to skip the paper work.  Chelsea said she's ready to upgrade from 50 Cent to Ricky Rozay.  Ha.

Former "BBW" star Jennifer Williams has posted some interesting tweets...and pics...lately.  And it seems like Maxwell just may be her new boo. Deets inside.....

 

The streets are buzzing that Jennifer Williams may be dating R&B crooner Maxwell.  We do know the two have been friends for a while and have hung out on several occassions over the past couple years in group settings.  But things seem to be becoming more about the two of them rather than about their group of friends.

Last week, Jen tweetd a pic of herself and the singer saying, “Me and @_MAXWELL_ last night! Thank u for the bubbly! Fun times.”

It sounds innocent enough.  But Maxwell also recently posted a pic of two bottles of Theraflu and said, “Summercolds #waytoocold.  And Jen tweeted, “I hope my boo feels better soon.”

Could it have been directed towards Maxwell?  Hmmm.  We'll have to keep an eye on these two.  But...dating Maxwell would be a good look for the ex-"BBW" star.  She can only go up from here....

Mr. Wade and his striped socks made a beeline into Mr. Chow yesterday with actress Essence Atkins and her hubby.  Essence happens to be his girlfriend Gabby Union's good friend.  And there was no Gabby in sight.  And if Gabby wasn't meeting them there, was Dwyane trying to extract info from new mom Essence aboout...perhaps...what type of ring Ms. Union would be interested in? Just asking...

2-time NBA champ Dwyane pulled out of the 2012 Olympic TEAM USA due to an injury.  But we're sure he'll be cheering on his Heat teammate LeBron James and the rest of the fellas for the next couple weeks.

Mrs. Obama hosted an exercise session this morning in London (attended by sexy soccer star David Beckham) as part of her 'Let's Move!' anti-obesity campaign.

During the breakfast event, she said,

"Wow - I’m going to be saying that a lot over the next few days. Wow! I can’t believe I am here, I am beyond proud. Some of my fondest memories growing up and even as an adult for that matter involved watching the Olympics on TV.

I know each of you probably were in that position. Being here is otherworldly for me, you know. I am still so inspired by all of you. I am still in awe of everything you have achieved."

And David picked up a few tricks from the First Lady.

 

Later today..........

The First Lady swapped out her sporting attire for a white and silver embroidered dress.

Then she attended a reception hosted by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace where she was escorted by US Ambassador Louis Susman.

She greeted The Queen at the reception where they dined on British sparkling wine and canapes including quail's eggs and celery salt, cornet of smoked duck and rosette of smoked salmon.  So English.  Gotta love it.

On Monday, Snoop Dogg announced via a press conference this week that he will be changing his name to "Snoop Lion" because of a spiritual awakening he had in Jamaica recently. Could that spiritual awakening have anything to do with the ridiculousquantity of ganja he likely smoked.  While in Jamaica working on his new reggae album Reincarnated, the rapper visited a Rastafarian priest who inspired him.

He explained what led to the spritual awakening saying,

"I want to bury Snoop Dogg, and become Snoop Lion. I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg.’ And he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘No more. You are the light; you are the lion.’ From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there.”

He later added

"I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now."

If the name change intrigues you, you can see Snoop Lion recording the Reincarnation album in a documentary film that premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Watch the trailer below:

Super producer Pharrell Williams has launched a new fashion label called Bee Line.  Get the deets inside and find out about Steve Harvey's last comedy show.

Pharrell Williams, creator of the BBC line, has teamed with menswear designer Mark McNairy for a new fashion label called Bee Line for Billionaire Boys Club. In the latest issue of GQ, outtake pictured above, the duo have a conversation about fashion.  Here are the highlights:

Making the Band

Mark McNairy:
"I always liked what Pharrell did with Billionaire Boys Club—it's like preppy streetwear. We started by collaborating on one shoe. We talked about doing clothes, and eventually it evolved into a full made-in-the-U.S.A. collection."

The Line Between Streetwear and Menswear
McNairy: "In my head, there is no line."
Pharrell: "I don't know lines. I understand the concept, but it's just not fun to work inside a box."

Working with Pharrell
McNairy: "I came in confident. Then I started hearing how picky Pharrell is, so I got a little nervous. We had our initial meetings and decided what the direction should be. When I took all the prototypes to Miami, he loved everything."

Working with McNasty
Pharrell: "He's very quirky and a quiet guy, but also funny as hell. Within all that quirkiness, he's very confident. The man just clicks."

Southern Players
Pharrell: "Mark has learned a lot along the way, but his mentality is still North Carolina. I like the way he just crashes shit together."
McNairy: "Pharrell's basically a southern gentleman. I bet Virginia Beach isn't that different from Greensboro."

The One Piece That Says It All
McNairy: "It's definitely the gold- and silver-sleeve varsity jackets. I was in the factory and saw a metallic scrap on the floor. I ran to 35th Street, bought the leather, and bam."

 

 

If you love Steve Harvey's comedy................

He's putting together something special just for you.  The comedian and radio host is walking away from the standup game as he headlines his final stand-up comedy show on August 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His 27 year career in stand-up is officially done, so he says. Fans can watch live on Pay-Per-View August 2nd at 11 PM EDT/8 PM PDT.

Steve said,

“The road to this final show has been an amazing journey doing stand-up for the past 27 years, and I can’t thank fans enough after reflecting on all those years on stage, and the unforgettable moments and jokes we’ve shared. It’s been a wild ride over these years on stage, radio, TV and more, and taking the stage for my final show, I will have a special blowout performance in store for everyone in Las Vegas and watching at home that will be bigger than any show I’ve done so far.”

Meagan Good Gets HOT For UPSCALE's August 2012 Cover, Gushes On Being Typecast & Why Her Husband's Love For God Is So Sexy

Sexy newlywed Meagan Good is making the most of her good publicity from her wedding, hit movie Think Like A Man and the upcoming sequel, and her new NBC show she's set to star in.  Check out the fab chick covering the August 2012 issue of UPSCALE, and what she had to say about her equally sexy God-fearing hubby and being typecast....

She's set to star in a new network tv mystery series, and she just got laced with a wedding and beautiful ring from a great guy.  What else could a girl want? 

Meagan Good, star of the upcoming NBC series "Infamous", opened up to UPSCALE Magazine about what true power is in her eyes, and how her husband, DeVon Franklin, brought love and healing into her life.  And the gorgeous 30-year-old is determined to show people she hasn't been typecast as the sexy girl every man wants.

On being typecast:
"There were a couple times where the director said 'We really like you, but you're a little bit too sexy.' And I'm like, 'Well, what do I need to do? Wear a turtleneck? You know, loose-fitting clothes?' And they're like "Nah, it's just something that you give off." I don't know that I necessarily believe that. I believe that people, when they have a pre-conceived notion of who you are, and things you've done in the past, sometimes they forget that as an actor you're able to shut off whatever you need to shut off, and you're able to turn on whatever you need to turn on."

On her love for her husband:
"To me there's nothing sexier than a man that loves the Lord. I can't imagine anything more attractive. And then, we just get each other, we don't judge each other. He understands me. His love has brought a lot of healing to a lot of areas that have been really painful for me. "

"Being with someone who is a preacher as well, people tend to try to sensationalize everything you do. So that's definitely been a different experience for me..."

On what true power is:
My definition of power is being able to move, and live, and do the things that you aspire to do and that you believe are part of your purpose to do, without letting other people's opinions or judgements manipulate your direction, without getting discouraged when a door closes, and just kinda having a good sense of self, and knowing who you are, and being strong in your walk with God. All of that, to me, is what power is.

Loves her.
