They bought a new mansion in Cali and are raising their now 3-week old baby boy Cairo as their "King."  But while Tyga is wrapping his tour with Nicki Minaj in the UK, his girl is having a night out with her girls.  And is already back in the gym.

She posted pics yesterday saying "Dinner with my bitches..."

TLC's T-Boz has blasted "American Idol" saying it's just a money machine and faults them for hiring a rapper (Nicki Minaj) to judge somebody's singing. Watch what she said inside and get deets on a new TLC disc in the works....

During a recent interview with ThisIsMax, TLC's T-Boz shared her thoughts on Nicki Minaj being cast as a judge on "American Idol".  And she didn't hold back on how she feels about folks purely selling sex & popularity.  T-Boz said, 

“I don’t respect half [of] the people I’ve seen lately. How the hell is she gon’ tell me what I should be doing when her azz can’t even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they’ve got rappers that don’t even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I’m saying is, I will never watch [your] shows again.”

Many Barbz were pissy about T-Boz comments and blasted her on social media to which T-Boz later tweeted, 

"I'm in this bizz. All this crap is fact & its based on bringing in numbers now and NOT really why it was originated . So get mad...scratch ya a**...take a picture I don't but Remb it I'll say what I want that doesn't mean I don't like or respect someone lol.

"I'll say what I think &always will I think it's funny the truth is the truth ha the name calling sh*t is hysterical cuz I don't wanna watch. I don't hv a problem w/ Nikki. I don't like what the shows stand for. Where's the lil yellow bus beep beep. Y'all don't think I'm mad or bothered, we're over here cracking up cuz they going off over the wrong things it's sad but funny."

Snaps.

 

And outside of causing controversy, T-Boz revealed to the BBC that she and Chilli are back in the studio work on a new TLC album.  She spoke of the new disc saying,

“We’re going to still sound like TLC, evolving to whatever level we need to be at this time,” T-Boz told Rolling Stone. She isn’t worried about the duo’s songs sounding dated: “We’ve always grown throughout the years and have always had our own sound… When that stops working, maybe we’ll hang up the towel, but that still works.”

Breezy wants everybody to listen up once and for all.  He has something to explain about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.  Check out what Chris Brown just had to say this morning, plus his brand new track "Nobody's Perfect"...

Chris rolled to Big Boy's Neighborhood on Power 106 in L.A. this AM to get some ish off his chest.  One of those things was another explanation about his status with Rihanna after he made it known he was stiil in love with her and broke up with Karrueche to "explore" things with the pop star.

After Rih told Andy Cohen yesterday that she is NOT with Chris, he also confirmed that they are not together.  But said people need to butt out regardless. When asked if the twosome, who have a collabo on Rihanna's upcoming album, were back on:

"No. I put a webisode out explaining my situation. And with that it's just me being honest with my self. Me and her have history and me and her will always be the best of friends. We're working on our friendship now.

"Everyone feels so attached to this situation. It's still detrimental today, but that's why I'm doing the Genesse Center to show domestic violence is not okay. But as far as our personal life people got to give it a chance. Not even a chance, they need to shut the hell up. It's me. At the end of the day, whatever opinion they have ain't going to change nothing I'm doing...They're the fans, so sit back and watch. That's all you're doing anyway."

So there you have it.

 

In other Breezy news, he's still releasing music left and right and this morning was no different.  He premiered his "Nobody's Perfect" track with Big Boy & the Neighborhood.  It will appear on his upcoming Carpe Diem album due out next year.  Breezy says stop judging him.  So check it.

Alicia Keys just dropped her newest track "Brand New Me."  After performing it live at the iTunes Music Festival in London recently, she's debuting the studio version.  Check it inside, plus Azealia Banks' newest eye popping video for "Fierce."

 
Alicia is prepping to release her new album Girl On Fire (November 27).  So she's dropping her new music for her fans off the LP.  The newest is the studio version of "Brand New Me."  About the track Alicia said:
 
‘Brand New Me’ is about the journey it takes to get to a place where you are proud to be a new you. There is nothing wrong with growing! There may be people in your life that knew you for a long time and they think of you only as the person you used to be and not the person you now are! And this song is a conversation introducing them to the new you! Where nothing can hold you back and no one can hold you down!
 
Sounds like Alicia is trying to get over all the bad press and controversial romantic decision and just become a new version of herself.  Good luck with that.  Check out the song above.
 
 
 

Azealia is still dropping plenty of visuals for her tracks off her Fantasea mixtape.  "Fierce" is the latest and it's just her and a leather couch having some fun.  The ASOS model looks to be wearing plenty of the British-based clothing company's threads during the vid as their logo pops up at the end.

Frank Ocean was seen hanging out with Chanel & Fendi's head creative director Karl Lagerfeld in Paris recently.  Find out what they were up to and see Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen wearing a super revealing coral bikini for an upcoming ad for Nike inside....

 

Frank Ocean may be the fashion industry's next hip hop muse as he was seen hanging out with Karl Lagerfeld at a Chanel event in Paris recently.

As the fashion world has already embraced other stars like Kanye West and Azealia Banks (who performed at a few Chanel parties for Karl) the interest in Frank Ocean only seems natural. He has his own sense of style and is a bit of a rebel...things the fashion world often rewards.  We can only imagine what a Karl and Frank collab might look like.  

Also, folks have been buzzing that we'll finally get to hear the long lost collab between Nas and Frank Ocean called “No Such Thing as White Jesus.” Music producer Hit-Boy tweeted the good news saying,

And on the November 12th pisode of "Gossip Girl," which is in its last season on the CW, the show will be featuring 5 of Frank's Channel Orange tracks throughout the show.  It's the first time an episode of the stylish drama will feature the music of one artist exclusively, and it also marks the first time that Frank’s music will be heard in a television series.  Congrats!

"Hollywood Exes" Andrea Kelly (R.

The ladies are currently filming the 2nd season of their hit TV show, 'Hollywood Exes'.

 

Photobucket

Daphne (pictured above earlier this week at the 2nd Annual Inspiration Women Awards for the Susan G. Komen Foundation) spoke about her casting recently and said she's the only new addition. "I think I am the lucky one. It's just me."

She also explained to RealityTea why she joined the series and what she hopes to bring to the table:

"I'm very excited and I'm very proud of the work the women have done and I want to be a part of that. I want to be a part of this movement that changes the trajectory of what that genre of TV has been. People do what they do and I actually don't watch TV but in passing have seen some of it. I want to bring more value, whatever that means. Sometimes you go through something and you have an experience because it doesn't just help you, that experience serves to help someone else.

It sounds kind of cliche to say, but it's the truth that's the value of the lesson going. We've all had that happen where someone comes into our lives and we just find a different viewpoint on how to handle something or a different way that something can be. Not necessarily right or wrong, but just different. And it may resonate with another person."

Congrats Daphne!  Hope we find out some juicy ish about her ex....

Comedian Katt Williams got hit with a $5 million lawsuit for allegedly hitting his female assistant. Get the deets inside.....

 

Having already seen his fair share of lawsuits, comedian Katt Williams was just hit with another one for allegedly hitting and injuring his female assistant.

Melissa Ishage filed a $5 million lawsuit, according to TMZ, with the L.A. County Superior Court recently claiming Katt attacked and punched her causing "serious and permanent injuries."  Damn...did she not bring him his comb quickly enough?

Melissa, who sought treatment at a hospital, says the cops were called but no one was arrested. For now, the incident is still under investigation.

Neither Katt nor his reps have spoken out about the lawsuit.  Foolishness indeed.

BET's newest late night host, TJ Holmes, has plenty of big news to share these days.  After debuting his own show, "Don't Sleep," last month, he's got a growing family...and a growing show on the way.

He's the cutie who took his political & news anchoring talents from CNN to BET to host his own show.  Now, the 35-year-old journalist is set to welcome a brand new baby with his wife of 2 years, Marilee. (Nice ring.)

"Marilee and I will welcome our first child in a couple of months.  We have had two blessed years of marriage, and now, we are so excited to grow our family."

Their bundle of joy is due January 2013.

And that's not the only big news.  We've learned that TJ's new late night comedic, yet informative political news show "Don't Sleep" (which is pretty good by the way), is getting a makeover. 

Starting November 19th, the BET show will be extended to 1 hour and will air weekly.  Every Wednesday at 11p EST, TJ will be offering up informative comprehensive segments with celebrity guests and news that matters.

Rihanna PERFORMS "Diamonds" & "Stay" On "SNL" AND Inside The "Unapologetic" Listening Party At 40/40

Last night, Rihanna stopped by "SNL" to perform two tracks off her Unapologetic disc.  Watch the performances inside and get deets on the listening party she held in NYC recently. 

 

Pop star Rihanna stopped by "SNL" (hosted by Anne Hathaway) last night to perform two tracks from her upcoming Unapologetic disc.

She first hit the stage for "Diamonds" wearing a camouflage style slip dress and Timberlands.  Performing in front of a green screen, she crooned the song while her band members appeared to float in the air and their bodies became a part of the artwork appearing on the screen. 

Photobucket

Watch RiRi perform "Diamonds" here:

 

Later in the show.....

 Photobucket

She performed "Stay," a lush ballad off the new album that allowed her to show that her vocal cords do actually work.

 

And in case you missed it....

Photobucket

On the heels of her Facebook interview and after reaching out to the NY Daily News, Rihanna used her star power to collect donations for Hurricane Sandy survivors via her Unapologetic listening party. She told the NY Daily News“Now is the time for us to come together and do whatever we can to aid those in need.”  She also donated 1,000 sleeping bags to their relief effort.  

Photobucket

Held at the 40/40 club in Manhattan Friday night, Rihanna offered media the chance to listen to the cd and had everyone donate supplies to the Sandy relief effort (diapers and wipes, coats and blankets, cleaning supplies).

TheYBF.com was on the scene where Rih played her 15-track album in the lounge. Featuring guest appearances from Eminem, Future and Mikky Ekko, the disc addresses being vulnerable, independent and unconcerned about what others think of her personal life.

She kicks off the LP with party song "Fresh Out The Runway" which she performed at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. On "Pour It Up" she talks about strippers, while "Jump" has her sampling Ginuwine's"Pony." She teams with Eminem on "Numb" for their own rendition of Kanye West's"Can't tell me Nothing" and "Stay" is a lush love ballad.

Another highlight is her duet with Chris Brown on "Nobodies Business" where they sing about always loving each other...forever.

Photobucket

Though she was all smiles, the singer was indeed unapologetic about her late arrival as she was whisked past fans and the media.  She rocked a ‘Birds of Paradise’ quilted jacket by Proenza Schouler, Timberland boots, a Chanel handbag, and a diamond necklace by Kentshire and spent the remainder of the evening in VIP (and on her phone).

But at least her adoring fans & some media got to hear the album for free (in stores Nov. 19th).

BROTHAZ WITH PROBLEMS: "Elmo" Creator Kevin Clash INVOLVED In Alleged UNDERAGE SEX SCANDAL + Swizz Beatz OWES Nearly $2.7 Million In TAXES

Photobucket

Rapper Swizz Beatz was slapped with a New York state tax lien while "Elmo" creator Kevin Clash took a leave of absence from "Sesame Street" because of a sex scandal.  Find out more info inside...

"Elmo" creator Kevin Clash has taken a leave of absence from his role on Sesame Street to deal with allegations stemming from an underage sex scandal.

Kevin (who was 45 at the time)  was accused of being sexually involved with a 16-year-old boy (who's now 23) after the accuser revealed their relationship to lawyers at Sesame Workshop.

In response to the revelation, Sesame Workshop told TMZ ...

"In June of this year, Sesame Workshop received a communication from a young man who alleged that he had a relationship with Kevin Clash beginning when he was 16-years-old. This was a personal relationship, unrelated to the workplace. We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action."

Officials from the company say an investigation was conducted and they found that the allegations of underage sex was unsubstantiated.  But clearly this issue isn't over.

Kevin told TMZ that "I had a relationship with [the accuser]. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not."

So what does that mean for Elmo?

Sesame Workshop said, .

"Kevin insists that these allegations are false and defamatory and he has taken actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so."  And they added, "Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of Sesame Street to engage, educate and inspire children around the world."

So it sounds like the Elmo character will live on....Kevin Clash's career at Sesame Street might not.   He's been associated wiht the character for YEARS.  This is a sad situation.

 

 

And another guy with problems.....

Photobucket

Though he's made millions producing for artists like Alicia Keys and Eve, in addition to signing lucrative endorsements with companies like Reebok, producer Swizz Beatz is still millions in debt to the IRS and NY.

The state of NY recently filed a tax lien against Swizz for unpaid taxes from 2010 amounting to $98,246.18 while the IRS says he owes them $2.6 million.  Damn!

While he's constantly ranked as one of hip hop's highest earners, Swizz has been consistently plagued with a slew of taxes issues.  Maybe Mr. Dean needs to hire some new folks to watch his money in the bank and pay those taxes correctly.  Especially when you have umpteen kids and a wife to care for.

So far, he and his reps haven't addressed the tax woes publically.

Rapper Lil' Wayne interviewed NLF superstar Randy Moss recently where the two fellas discussed Randy coming out of retirement and being "outspoken" in the industry.  Watch the interview inside and find out how well Naomie Harris' Skyfall flick did at the box office.  

Lil' Wayne, who was grounded by his doctors a while back, shows no signs of slowing down as he got his side hustle on and appeared on ESPN's "NFL Countdown" yesterday.  The hard core sports fan partook in his side hustle with ESPN and chatted up San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss.  

Randy, who is know for being pretty outspoken, talked to Weezy about the luxury of being able to speak his mind public and how it sometimes gets him into trouble (just like Wayne).  

Randy revealed that he went into retirement to get closer to his family but his love of football left him feeling empty.  He says he cried like a baby in his garage one day and his oldest daughter comforted him and encouraged him to return to the game.   Aww.

Joseline Hernandez BLASTS Stevie J For Being A DRUG ADDICT, Abuser & On The DOWN-LOW??

Drama in Joseline & Steebie land!  Reality tv star Joseline Hernandez went off on Twitter yesterday with a rant that brought up allegations of drug abuse, unprotected sex and "down low" activities...all directed at her co-star (and sometimes lover) Stevie J.  Is this for attention or for real? See the twitter foolery inside.....

Either Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J are mixing ish up for an explosive storyline for season 2 of "LAHH ATL" or the twosome have really called it quits.  We all watched Joseline break down on the "LAHH ATL" reunion while talking about how Stevie J changed her life, but her recent rant on Twitter may suggest she's done with his drama.  And there's a lot of it.  

First.....Joseline "outed" a "certain" undercover dude she's dealing with....

Then come the drug abuse allegations (to which Stevie J acutally responds)

And then there was the insinuation about "unprotected sex" and not caring about one's health...

Photobucket

Ew. Though Joseline came across like she was under Stevie J's spell on LAHH ATL," it SEEMS she chosen to walk away from him...

Monsters?  Something tells us she's NOT talking about the spooky characters kids have nightmares about...

 

 

We guess we won't see how this ends until next season hits the airwaves....but we're sure when Mona Scott gets a wind of this she'll have the cameras ready.

Mel rocked a colorful bikini with her hair in braids as she downed a few glasses of wine on board for some down time.  As for that curvy body of hers and glowing skin:

In other music videos.....

 

Kelly Rowland has released an extended teaser for her "Ice" video. Directed by Matthew Bolston and shot in an old ice factory, the teaser shows Kelly dancing very seductively with a male dancer and leaving very little to the imagination.

Her former Destiny's Child bandmate, Michelle Williams, said the sexy dance moves made her blush and cover her eyes. And when asked about the track, Kelly said the song was about love making that is so hot it's cold...and so cold that it's hot. Alrighty then.

 

In other Kelly Rowland music clips...

Kelly stars alongside Sir Lucious Left Foot aka Big Boi in his latest video "Mama Told Me." In the BTS video, both artists talk about with director Syndrome and the inspiration behind the song.  Watch it above.
