Rihanna was spotted out and about in Cali last night while she continues on with her break.  A pic of Rihanna heading to get another tatt, plus news on her setting a digital download record, inside...

It's no secret Rihanna loves a tattoo.  So when she was having trouble sleeping this week, she made a beeline to the tattoo parlour after dinner at her fave spot Giorgio Baldi Restaurant in Santa Monica.

Rih tweeted yesterday:

Waited all yr+Finally I have time off, time 4 rest n quiet.Suddenly all the silence is being drowned by my thoughts! No sleep #HEAVY #SCARY

Well maybe the fact she just got named the Best-Selling Digital Artist Ever by Neilsen Soundscan can ease her nerves a bit.  The "Talk That Talk" diva has moved 47.5 million digital downloads since hitting the scene in 2005.  #2 is Black Eyed Peas with 42.4 mill.

Congrats to her.

It was a big premiere n ight for the cast of BET's "The Game."  Pics of Tia Mowry, Brandy, and the rest of the cast, plus Tia's sis Tamera rocking her own new photoshoot, inside....

How excited are we for the big return?!  Brandy, Pooch Hall, Tia Mowry, Hosea Chanchez, and Gabrielle Dennis were all on hand at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in L.A. to usher in Season 5 of BET's hit show "The Game."  And it looks like the premiere episode (debuting Jan. 10th) got the thumbs up from star Tia.  She tweeted:

Former Detroit Drug Lord "Big Meech" Is NOT HAPPY About "Black Mafia Family Wives"

Former Detroit Cocaine Lord "Big Meech" (who will be incarcerated until December 16, 2031) is speaking out about the upcoming "Black Mafia Family Wives" reality show and he is not happy! Find out what message he sent the ladies.....from behind bars.

We all know that sometimes when a brother is on lockdown, he sends a message through his momma. And Big Meech is no different. When the former drug boss got word that there was going to be a reality show based on the women of men who ran his Black Mafia Family drug organization....he had a few choice words.

Lady Flen aka RealBigMeechMom (Lucille Flenory) relayed the message from her son that none of the women on that show are the first ladies of anything!  She says they are fame hungry and trying to use the crime family to get their 15 minutes of fame.

 

Here are the tweets:

 

That last line "If you have a problem with that see Meech" sounds like a threat.  They may want to think about missing the next taping...

KeKe Palmer Gets FAB For VIBE VIXEN, Is Head Over Heels For Her Boyfriend, & Talks Interracial Dating

0

This is one YBF chick who is never at a loss for tv/movie roles.  And we see why.  Our fave youngin' in the game is looking gorge on December/January 2012 issue of VIBE VIXEN. And KeKe Palmer's not scared to open up why she's crazy about her boyfriend, what she feels about dating outside her culture, and if she would do intimate love scenes...

How pretty!  18-year-old KeKe is rocking black sequined short shorts and a purple and blue blouse full of ruffles for the VIXEN cover.  The star of the upcoming movie Joyful Noise (she sings too) gave a cute interview about her Guatemalan/Black boyfriend and just how she'll go about shedding her "True Jackson" good girl image (just a little):

On meeting her boyfriend…
One day Patrick [Johnson, Jr.] came to the set of True Jackson VP, and he brought Rodney, my boyfriend, with him. My mouth dropped when I saw him, and I’m just like, Keke, control yourself! [Laughs] I was 15 years old at the time, and he was 19, so we didn’t talk or anything like that. I just always had a huge crush on him. Then when I was like 17, I talked to my parents ’cause my mom was like, ‘If you want to date somebody, I guess the oldest age would be 21.’ I just couldn’t believe that she said that to me. It really almost made my heart skip a beat because I always liked him.

On dating outside of her culture…

I’ve thought about it. It always seemed so difficult to me because I want to be understood culturally. When I’ve had crushes on other cultures, sometimes they don’t understand. They don’t get my jokes, they don’t get who I am or my family or anything like that. It’s not like I don’t find white guys or [other cultures] attractive, it’s just I want to be understood.

My boyfriend now is Guatemalan and Black, and he was raised by his mother who is Guatemalan, so he’s the only Black person. It’s culturally different, but I realized I can still find a way to understand [them]. Even though everyone is speaking Spanish around me and I don’t understand it, his mother is so kind and open that there’s not a problem. I don’t feel like I’m an outsider.

On her upcoming role in A Virgin Mary…
We haven’t started to film it yet, but I’m very excited because this is something new for me. People have always known me, as I said, as Keke Palmer the “good girl.” In this movie, I’m not necessarily being a huge slut, but my character is just that. She’s like, ‘I’m a sex enthusiast. That’s who I am,’ but the reason why I chose this film was because it’s different from what everybody knows me as. And this character spoke to me because she was funny, she was likeable… Even if I didn’t play the character, you would immediately love her because she’s just lovable. It’s almost like [Draya] on Basketball Wives LA. People can say whatever they want about her, but you like Draya because that’s who she is. You either like her or you don’t. No fronting, no nothing.

On being typecast…
My family has always taught me to have morals, be a good person, you know, that whole thing. But at the same time, when I’m acting, it’s not like I’m going to turn down every role. Like, I said I would do an intimate scene if it didn’t show my whole body. It’s not like I just won’t do this or I just won’t do that, but if they can change it in a way where it could be fitting for me, then that’s okay. I’m not going to break down and do a topless scene or anything like that, but I’d probably do an intimate scene if it was like Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps in Love and Basketball. That was classic. That wasn’t like overt or anything like that. No, I don’t want to be typecast, but I don’t want to do things that I look back on and say, ‘Well, why did I do that?’

Check out the full interview at VIBE VIXEN, which goes live Monday, January 9th.

Wendy Raquel Robinson DISHES To ESSENCE About Her 9-Year Marrriage And KISSING HOTTIES Rick Fox And Terrence J

"The Game" actress Wendy Raquel Robinson proves that Hollywood marriages can last as she opens up to Essence.com about her dedicated husband of nine years, Marco Perkins. Get the deets inside and find out what he thinks about her kissing Rick Fox....

For those looking for love, actress Wendy Raquel Robinson opened up to Essence.com about her wonderful marriage and what connects her to  her husband Marco.  She adds that marriage “is wonderful” but “it has its highs and lows." 

She also revealed: "I can honestly say he’s my best friend.  We won’t let more than two weeks go by without being together and seeing each other." Awww.

Here are the highlights:

ESSENCE.COM: How did you meet your husband, and how did he propose?
I am a huge Lakers fan. It was the finals and there was a little soiree at my house. A friend of mine who doesn’t drive asked if it was okay to bring a friend over because he was his ride. I said sure and they came over. The guys were all talking and the ladies were all talking and, you know, he’s holding court, and I’m like, who’s this guy? We just started talking and the rest was history. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. It was really just a connection at first sight and we were both at the right places in our lives and it just happened.

We had been dating for about two years and things were going really, really great. I was actually doing a theater show in North Carolina and he was going to go with me to see a play I was doing. It was my birthday and we’re packing up and he goes, “I want you to see this video I made.” I was like, “A video?” So we’re watching and he’s just singing happy birthday on the video. I’m thinking, oh how cute, and then at the end of the video he goes, “By the way, will you marry me?” We started running around the house like little eight-year-olds. He had the ring and everything. It was really a 3D proposal. That was really special. Back then, this was all on VHS. It was so sweet.

ESSENCE.COM: Tell us some things you adore about your husband?
  Honey, he can fix anything. Do you hear me? Anything. I got a man, man, man, man. I mean he can fix literally anything. He’s MacGyver times one hundred. Not even just with the technical stuff, but any apparatus around the house. He really gets into it and he loves that challenge. And, he is the communicator in the relationship. He loves to talk and he loves to work it out, whereas sometimes I agree to disagree. Usually he’s like, “No, we have to talk this out.” So I love that about him. He doesn’t let me go into my shell.

ESSENCE.COM: What’s it like kissing heartthrobs like Rick Fox or Terrence J. in front of your husband?
You know, he’s human. He doesn’t like to watch it. I’m like honey, okay, look, this is going to be our retirement right here. (Laughs.) But he is definitely a man and it is hard for him, but he does understand. Actually that’s one area where Tia’s husband and my husband have definitely bonded. You know on "The Game," we go in.  Mara [Brock Akil] goes for the jugular -- she really goes for it. This season I get myself in some precarious situations. He doesn’t watch it much. He watches the good episodes he can watch, when I’m clowning and all that, but he doesn’t like it, it’s hard. This season is worse. It’s crazy. It’s funny, and a ride, but it all makes sense at the end. It all comes together.

Halle Berry was spotted taking Nahla to school....and wearing a cast on her foot.

Hmmm.....Halle WAS NOT rocking the cast yesterday so I wonder if there was a re-injury (remember when she got hurt in Spain this summer?) of some sort?

 

And later in the afternoon, Nahla was picked up by her father Gabriel Aubry.

 

Kimora Lee Simmons posted pics of herself and her family (Djimon, Kenzo, Ming Lee, Aoki Lee) on holiday in St. Bart's during their Christmas vacay:

 

On her blog, she talked about the fun family vacay saying:

Woohoo Happy New Year! Has been so much fun celebrating welcoming the new year and celebrating everybody’s hard work and successes! Without a doubt, the best gift my kids got this year was spending the holidays with their whole family!

We celebrated with an homage to Aaliyah’s ‘Rock The Boat’ – complete with white bikini. Along the way, we did model training, took a dip in the ocean, checked out some other boats and had a great time!

Must be nice!

Beyonce & Jay-Z Release Statement: Blue Ivy Was Birthed NATURALLY!

Jay-Z and Beyonce just released a statement about baby B.I.C. and how over the moon they are as new parents.  And they're putting the C-section rumors to rest, insisting Baby Blue was born naturally.  The Lenox Hill Hospital reps also revealed The Carters never bought out or closed off the maternity floor.

 

Check out the couple's first official statement just released inside...

Let the sweetness ensue.

Jay-Z revealed today, in the song "Glory" he made for his daughter, that a miscarriage occurred before Blue Ivy was conceived.  And now the duo feels their new baby girl is a magical gift.  Here's the couple's first statement released just moments ago about the natural birth:

Hello Hello Baby Blue!

We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012.

Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven.

She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives.

We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.

Now get to those diaper changes....

Another rumor cleared up today?  The Lenox Hill Hospital reps stated today the maternity wing/floor was never closed off to the public, and The Carters did not pay $1.3 million to do so:

"The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true."

The rep adds, "The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations."

"The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days."

So there you have it...

Not sure what the fascination is with what Basketball Wives put on and around their lips, but yet another "BBW" star is "coming out" with a lip gloss line (or just being the face...it's not 100% clear yet).  First there was Jennifer Williams....then Evelyn Lozada...now pretty young thing Draya Michele has gotten her hands on the VH1 Welcome Kit To-Do List and has nabbed th new face of the Secret Kisses Lipstick and Lip Gloss line.

The line consists of 35 shades. 

Draya says, “I make sure that I'm styled to the "T" when I step out of the house, paying very close attention to detail.
I wouldn't leave without my shoes or more importantly my smile... Secret Kisses, dress up your lips. XO XO."

Ronell “Big Gates” Levatte, founder and owner of Secret Kisses, added, “There is no denying the fact that Draya Michele exudes the bold and exotic flavor embodied by Secret Kisses.  We are excited to welcome her to the family and know that she is going to be a dynamic representation of the brand”.

Oh.  Congrats.

 

Meanwhile,

 

Over the weekend, rapper Snoop Dogg was busted in Texas at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, a small town in West Texas, when drug-sniffing dogs picked up the scent of weed on his tour bus. 

The border agents found a red prescription bottle on the bus containing several joints and a half-ounce of weed.

Although Snoop admitted to the weed and has a prescription for cannabis in California, that ish doesn't fly in Texas! 

Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released.  If he wants, he can challenge the citation or pay a $537 fine to make it all go away.

Mashonda recently posted pics of herself and her son Kasseem Dean Jr.,5, in a series of shots. See the mommy and me fun inside.......

Mashonda shows what a fun mom she is as she posed in a series of shots of her and little Kasseem playing.

The singer/songwriter recently did an interview with VIBE where she talked about working with Biggie and Jay back in the day. She said,

The one thing I can get from both of them is that you have to keep working, consistency, someone is always trying to take your spot. I also got that from Diddy. That’s one thing he instills in all his artists. Even today on twitter, following him you just see that he never sleeps he just always doing something. This is a game. Fans are very fickle and with the Internet there’s a lot of change everyday so you gotta stay on your A game, stay consistent as you can.”

"Love & Hip Hop" MIAMI THROWDOWN: Chrissy VS. Yandy

0
0

Chrissy's post-engagement love bubble lasted all of 5 minutes after Jim Jones proposed to her.  Because on last night's episode of "Love & Hip Hop 2," just as we exclusively reported back in October, Mrs. Jones-To-Be went at it with Yandy in Miami.

 

Speak on it inside...

Things reached the boiling point last night between Chrissy and Yandy.  Chrissy was partying with her girls in Miami to celebrate her engagement, and Yandy was being her usual self and bringing two enemies to the same club together--Kimbella and Erica.  The perfect storm brewed, and a fight went down.  

Chrissy claims she saw a disrespectful email Yandy, who already threw deuces to her management job with Jim Jones, sent to Jimmy asking him why he's buying Chrissy bags, shoes, and jewelry.  Chrissy felt this was stepping over the line--and she went in.

Yandy kept asking what her issue was--and then said the magic words, "Why she mad I get money and she has to sleep with n*ggas for her money?"  WOMP.  See the aftermath below:

Don't know about y'all, but I feel like there's way more to this story.  No reason a woman should be THIS pissy with another woman--over her man--once she gets that man to lock it down officially.  Is there deep rooted jealousy on one or both ends?  Did Yandy and Jim have something MORE than a professional relationship going on, and Chrissy feels threatened by it? Or is Yandy threatened by Jimmy wifing up Chirssy because she knows Chrissy will always have one shoe up on her?  Hmmmm....

The cast of "Joyful Noise" hit the black carpet last night in L.A. for their big movie premiere night.  Pics of Queen Latifah, KeKe Palmer, and more inside....

Actors Dexter Darden, Jeremy Jordan, Dolly Parton, Writer/Director Todd Graff, actors Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, Courtney B. Vance and Dequina Moore got together for a group pic at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

How cute was KeKe in her black, white, and grey rosette detailed shift dress!

 

The 18-year-old star was looking YBF indeed.

KeKe's on-screen mom, Queen Latifah, hit the carpet in a green ruched dress with a side slit:

 

Makeup flawless.

But this look aint it for you Queen.  I don't know if she's beefing with the Spanx company or what--but every woman, no matter who she is, rocks a pair of Spanx on the black/red carpet.  Just sayin'....


She kicked it with her co-star Dolly Parton--who looks great at 65!

Alright Dolly...

Paula Patton donned a little navy zip-front dress and cute multi-colored pumps for the premiere.

She was there to support her good friend Queen.

Courtney B. Vance also stars in the movie.  He flew solo without wife Angela Bassett.

Cute.

Loretta Devine came out to support.

And so did actor Orlando Jones.

Actress Rochelle Aytes rocked an interesting look of a merlot sheer blouse and nude cigarette pants.

Mary Mary was on hand for the event--Erica with a full baby bell and all.

And Vivica Fox was there to support as well:

In a nude Herve Leger dress and nude suede pumps.

Acor Quinton Aaron was on hand as well.  Fab times.  The movie opens everywhere this Friday.
