Members at Creflo Dollar's Atlanta megachurch witnessed a murder at point-blank range this morning when a former employee shot and killed a man leading a prayer.

Keri is rumored to be working with folks like Chris Brown on her new music but she is staying mum about her plans.

In other music news.....

Shyne used Twitter to blast Kendrick Lamar's good kid, M.A.A.D. city last night, leaving folks to wonder was it hating or was he just disappointed?  Esp. because Kendrick's album is pretty hot.

First he gave him props for having talent.....
 

But then he jabbed him and said the album didn't live up to his expectations....

After folks started jumping on him, he said, 

Kendrick (and his friends like Schoolboy Q who said he was surprised Shyne had internet) did come back at Shyne with a few comments of his own saying, 
"We all know @OriginalSHyne AIN'T EATIN!!!!! ****** ain't Had a Hot verse since 01 AND Surprise He got INTERNET."

So.....was Shyne out of line or just expressing his opinion on a product he had high expectations for?

Karrueche Tran's been in good spirits lately (shown above at her Pumpkin carving party) despite attacks being sent her way from Rihanna's camp.  A few days ago when a photo of Karrueche pumping gas and being given a few dollars by Chris Brown's bodyguard was posted online, Rihanna's cousin Leandra added her own tagline to the pic......

Karrueche later tweeted "people will believe anything they read" which could have been a response to the diss.

Meanwhile, RiRi's bff Melissa (mforde11) posted an interesting rant on Instagram that began with "I don't everrr do this but dezzzhoswannaholdmeback" and includes her calling someone a rice cake (which is seen as a swipe at Karrueche's Asian roots).

Now......Rihanna's added in a few words telling Melissa to calm down.

Rihanna also tweeted "#Unapologetic" which could have been at Karrueche or just album promo......

This morning, POTUS Barack Obama received a glowing endorsement from Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who described his policies as "solid." Watch the endorsement inside and see President Obama joke about why Donald Trump doesn't like him on The Tonight Show.

For the second time, Colin Powell (who's a registered Republican) endorsed POTUS Barack Obama saying, "I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012 and I'll be voting for he and for Vice President Joe Biden next month."

The former Secretary of State explained his endorsement on The Early Show saying,

"When he took over, the country was in very very difficult straits. We were in the one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos, we had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment peaked a few months later at 10 percent. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing, the housing was start[ing] to collapse and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it's starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising."

He continued,

"So I think generally we've come out of the dive and we’re starting to gain altitude. It doesn't mean we are problem solved, there are lots of problems still out there. The unemployment rate is too high. People are still hurting in housing. But I see that we are starting to rise up. I also saw the President get us out of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally, I think that the actions he's taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid. And so I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on."

Contrary to media reports, Jay-Z and Beyonce have not lost the "Blue Ivy" trademark....their application is on hold. Get the deets inside.....

There's still a good chance that fans will someday have the option to choose from a slew of items bearing the "Blue Ivy" name (from skin care products and strollers to baby bedding) as Beyonce and Jay-Z's trademark application is still in the works.

Although Jay and Bey's application has been place on hold by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (while the office awaits one merchant's appeal), the office granted "Blue Ivy" trademark rights to a Boston wedding planner last week.

But don't worry...should Jay and Bey's application be approved at a later date, they won't conflict with the wedding company and their products aren't in the same field.

We will keep you posted on their status....

Tameka "Tiny" Harris covers the latest issue of ROLLING OUT.  See the photos inside and find out how she keeps her marriage spicy...

We told you previously about Tiny posing for the cover of ROLLING OUT and now we have pics and highlights where she reveals how marriage has changed her relationship with T.I. and how they keep it spicy.

After being in a longtime relationship (with rap star T.I.), has marriage changed anything?

A lot of people say that things change — and maybe my husband might say something different — but I don’t really see much of a change. I just feel like I’ve been doing some of the same things as a married woman, that I was doing years before … so it’s kind of like continuing on with the papers now. Honestly, I’m just enjoying it. I’m enjoying being called a wife, because it’s different than just being in a relationship … it feels a little better now.

Tell us about the first time you heard him call you his wife, and you were officially married. How did that make you feel?

I was kind of like ”damn, that’s me.” I felt like a lucky lady and I love it every time I hear it. It just does something to me … it sends a signal to my body and tells me to jump all over him whenever possible [laughs].
Well, it’s important to keep things hot and fresh in your relationship.

Can you share some tips for other women who may struggle with how to keep things spicy in their own relationships?

You have to try new things and be open and talk about things that you’re interested in. You also have to talk about things that he’s interested in and see if you guys can come to a happy medium, and just get wild … that brings a little something extra to the bedroom.

Looking good Tiny!
