While she jets all over the world for her "777" tour, Rihanna tapped Kanye West to put the G.O.O.D. Music touch to her "Diamonds" (Remix).  Listen to the track inside and see pics of Rihanna on stage.

On the latest remix for Rihanna's "Diamonds" (Remix), Kanye West blesses the track as he raps about the Illuminati, high society, and parking his whip outside of the Louvre Museum. He also shouts out to the survivors of Hurricane Sandy.

The hit single is the lead track off the Unapologetic disc that's set to hit stores around the world on Monday.

Listen to the track here:

And around the world......

We told you previously about Rihanna taking a gang of fans and press on a private plane for the "777" tour and it looks like they (and the Ace of Spades champagne) truly shined bright in the sky.

RiRi even gifted each guest with a real diamond. 

So far the tour has stopped in Mexico City and Toronto. Next up...Stockholm!

Weight Watchers spokewoman Jennifer Hudson tweeted a pic of herself grubbing on pizza and other snacks while filming a commercial recently.  See the pics of Jen celebrate the benefits of her weight loss regimen inside......

Jennifer Hudson is back on the hard stuff!  The famously slimmed down actress recently tweeted a pic of herself eating pizza and other snacks while taking a break from filming a Weight Watchers commercial in LA.

But fans shouldn't be concerned about Jen going back to her old weight because she is still repping for the company, even wearing her Weight Watchers ActiveLink activity monitor when she performed the GRAMMY tribute for the late Whitney Houston (which aired on CBS last night).

At this point in her life, Jen is all about maintenance and a healthy lifestyle.  She is no longer trying to lose weight, so she's all about portion control and moderation.  In the 2012 December issue of Redbook she told the mag, "I’m at the weight I want to be." 

She added,

"But I hear all the time, "Don’t lose any more weight, you need to stop." People are under the impression that I’m still losing but I’m not.'

Next up for Jen, she'll perform at this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway on December 11th.

Check out the full Whitney Houston tribute above.

The cast & crew of "The Game" showed off their 100th episode celebration over the weekend.  Check out who's set to return inside...

The instagram account of BET's "The Game" showed off their 100th episode cake.  Creators Mara Brok Akil& Salim Akil posed it up with cast members Lauren London, Brandy, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Pooch Hall, Hosea Chanchez, and Barry Floyd.

Newbie Jay Ellis (far left) was also on the set as he will be in a new role on the show.  BET has yet to give details on exactly what will be going down with that.

While Coby Bell (Jason Pitts) was missing from the pic, he's still shooting his other show on USA called "Burn Notice."  But reportedly, he will be returning as well.

Noticeably missing was Tia Mowry, who will not be returning, but Pooch is indeed back.  And Lauren is slated to take on the female lead as "Kiera", a kid star who's now all grown up.

Season 6 kick off is still TBA.  Will you be watching?

The remaining ladies of "BBW" are already starting fights...but this time its with the VH1 network.  Get the deets on the ladies threatening to quit unless they get a pay raise and read about Chad Ochocinco's child support woes inside.....

The remaining ladies of "BBW Miami" Shaunie O'Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman and Suzie Ketcham have gone from tossing glasses of wine to tossing around threats telling VH1 they won't work unless they get a pay raise.

The ladies have already begun filming their 5th season, but they are working without contracts.  Recipe for disaster.

Though sources say the ladies are trying the renegotiate their contracts for more mula, they were told previously that pay raises wouldn't happen and they could be "replaced" if they didn't like it. WOMP.

For now, the ladies have threatened to walk out next week if they and VH1 don't come to an agreement.

We'll see...

And in ex-BBW's hubby news....

Just because we all watched Chad Ochocinco's football career and main source of income get stripped away from him, it hasn't let him off the hook in terms of child support.  One of his baby mommas, Andrea Pearson (who gave birth in 2010) filed docs saying the former NFL baller didn't pay his child support bill last month on October 15 (for $5,250) and has been late paying in the previous months.

Andrea wants Chad thrown in jail if he doesn't pay up soon. And while Chad's lawyer had no comment, a source close to Chad says he makes good on his child support and even bought the mother a house.

BONUS:

Evelyn must still feel some kind of way about Chad since she recently tweeted a pic of him and a chick whom she assumes is a new groupie.  She said,"Lets make @jesse8886 famous since she wants to tweet me all day! You smashed the homie now what?! #BigHeadedself"

Evelyn you knew what Chad was about....please let it go.  That tweet was mad messy and funny though...

Last night, actress Maia Campbell appeared on OWN's “Fix My Fallen Star” with Iyanla Vanzant to talk about her struggle with bi-polar disorder, her drug abuse and the relationship she had with her mother, author BeBe Moore Campbell. Watch the full episode inside....

In a heart-wrenching show called "Fix My Fallen Star," author Iyanla Vanzant walked actress Maia Campbell down the painful road of mental illness, drug abuse and neglect that nearly ended her career in Hollywood, resulted in multiple arrests and had her daughter removed from her custody.

Most famous for starring in "In The House" with LL Cool J and Debbie Allen, Maia revealed a painful relationship with her mom, famed author BeBe Moore Campbell who often put her work before Maia and made her feel unworthy.  

Maia also delved into her time spent on the streets abusing drugs while suffering from bipolar disorder, as we've all come to know over the years.  During this period, she was arrested multiples times and several embarrassing viral videos surfaced online and destroyed her reputation.

She is now living in a rehabilitation center (by her own choice) and told Iyanla she is ready to take to steps necessary to reclaim her life and her light.

Watch the tear jerker episode here:

Glad to see she's getting it together still.

Earlier in the day........ 

RiRi was spotted shopping at Charles de Gaulle Airport in the duty-free shops shortly after landing.

Bright colors took over the fall time red carpet of the 2012 American Music Awards last night.  Check out which YBF celebs put on their Sunday glammed up best to see who would take home awards.  Red carpet pics inside...

Sunday evening at the 40th American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, Nicki Minaj, Brandy, Jordin Sparks & her boo Jason Derulo, Kelly Rowland and plenty more hit the red carpet for the big night of music.

Nicki, who copped the awards for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded& Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist, made sure to rock an attention grabber of a dress.

She put on a traditional style strapless ruched dress with a very full bottom from Monique Lhuillier.  But it was the neon citrine color that made a statement.  And of course, her uber blonde wiggery and crazy poses.  Her jewelry was by Charles Albert.

Brandy looked pretty much flawless in a gold shimmering asymmetrical dress and laid hair and gorgeous makeup.

She definitely took a risk with this bold look, but we're loving it.

\

Chris Brown made an appearance on the carpet in a sleek black leather look with his gold & white sneakers.

Well look at the two lovebirds Jordin Sparks & Jason Derulo.  The twosome locked lips on the carpet and came up for air long enough to take some head-on shots:

Well aren't they precious.  Sparkle star Jordin rocked a multi-print long gown from the Etro Fall 2012 collection.  And pulled it off nicely.

Fresh faced and pretty as always.

Speaking of fresh faced....

Kelly Rowland looked her usual gorgeous self in a Naeem Khan Fall 2012 dress embellished with mirrored stones and felt applique.  Good look for her.

Tyga, who celebrates a birthday today (Monday) rocked head to almost-toe red.  Of course he did.  But where's that hairline?

The new 'Entertainment Tonight" correspondent Rocsi Diaz showed off her gams in a black & white peplum & dramatic shoulder mini dress.

Swizz Beatz borrowed Kanye's diamond grille for the evening.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington also rocked a bright color on the yellow end of the spectrum like Nicki Minaj.  But unlike Nicki, she went the sheer lace route in her Stella McCartney Resort 2013 longsleeved dress.  She accessorized with a yellow Kotur clutch and coral pumps.  And some type of way, pulled this difficult almost frumpy look completely off. 

Nice.

50 Cent made his way on the carpet in a checkered button down & grey suit.  He was on hand to present an award to Nicki Minaj.

"90210" star Tristan Wilds hit the carpet before he took over his own red carpet hosting duties for the night.

Ludacris & Sean Kingston rocked leather & printed jackets and jeans for the occasion.

And will.i.am rocked his usual completely unusual look.

Check out this cute video of Brandy playing the celeb crush game during her red carpet interview...but she had to shut it down because her man Ryan (pictured above with her last night) was close by:

Fun times.

The 2012 American Music Awards were held last night with superstar acts like Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Ludacris and Stevie Wonder hitting the stage. And there was even a surprise performance by MC Hammer who went "Gangnam Style!" See the videos inside.....

The 2012 AMAs were held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live last night in Los Angeles. There were tons of celebs in attendance who first walked the red carpet before settling into their seats to be entertained by the likes of Nicki Minaj, Usher and Stevie Wonder.

During the show, Beyonce won the award for "Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist" while Rihanna got "Favorite Soul/R&B Album: Talk That Talk" and Nicki copped two awards for Fave Rap/Hip Hop Artist & Album.

Nicki hit the stage, wrapped in fur and wearing a pink wig to perform "Freedom" off the Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up disc. She also walked away with awards for "Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist" and "Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album."

She also hit the stage with Justin Bieber to perform "Beauty And A Beat."

Usher, who walked away with the "Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist" award performed a medley of hits and showed off some great dance moves.

Music icon Stevie Wonder performed a touching tribute to the late Dick Clark, who founded the AMAs but missed his first one ever last night due to recovering from illness. He spoke to the legendary TV personality saying,

"I just remember his friendship, his kindness and I remember his love for music and love for people. I challenge you, you as communicators, leaders, politicians, spiritual leaders, put your love first as we musicians put our music and songs first, and unite the world. And then we can be jamming 'til the break of dawn!"

And after an introduction from Brandy, Swizz Beatz hit the stage with Chris Brown and Ludacris to perform "Everyday Birthday."  

And in one of the show's surprises, rap veteran MC Hammer hit the stage with pop sensation Psy for a mashup of "Gangnam Style" and "Too Legit To Quit."

Not gonna lie--LOVE this.

Beyonce is getting animated in the upcoming 3D feature "Epic." Get a first look at her Queen Tara character inside.....

Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox Animation are set to release a new 3D computer-generated feature film called "Epic."  The flick is described as a modern version of Thumbelina where a yong girl finds herself in a magical and secet universe that operates in plain sight of human beings.  And like most fairytales, there is a battle between good and evil.

Pop star Beyonce voices the character"Queen Tara" (shown at the top) who is a mother nature type figure. Chris Wedge, who's directing the film, says of Bey's character "She is the one sworn to protect the forest and is the source of its magic."

The film centers on Mary Katherine who begins her journey by questioning her dad, Prof. Bomba, about whether a hidden world of leaf-armored warriors really exists in the woods.  After finding herself transported to the forest, she must then save the world from the ever present evil by creating the most unlikely team the magical forest can offer.

Morepics of the characters you can expect:

The film is expected to be released in the summer of 2013.  Will you be grabbing the closest kid next to you to go see this?

Celebs were out and about in London yesterday as folks seemed to have a pow wow at Nobu in Mayfair.  Check out Diddy and his girl Cassie, Rita Ora, and Fast 6 star Tyrese hitting the London Town streets inside...

"R.I.P." singer Rita Ora was hanging out with the Bad Boy clique and Tyrese last night as everybody rolled to dinner at Nobu in Mayfair.  Just a day after chillin' in Paris with Rihanna.

Diddy & Cassie were coupled up and spotted in their chauffeured car around dinner time.

And they were spotted entering and exiting with Tyrese, who is in London shooting the next installment of Fast & The Furious:

And Rota threw on her fur trimmed jacket with thigh high lace up boots and a jersey style shirt:

Looks a lot like an outfit somebody else we know would throw together...

Viewers got to know a little bit more about "RHOA" addition Porsha Stewart last night and they also learned that Miss USA Kenya Moore is not a fan.  Watch the two battle it out inside and get the deets on Kim Zolciak's moving drama and court battle with her father.

Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart, the two newest additions to the "RHOA" franchise, popped off in the streets last night after an "introduction gone wrong" at Porsha's charity event.

The pair first met over lunch with Porsha asking Kenya to be a guest at an event for a charity started by her grandfather, late civil rights leader Hosea Williams.

There was instant tension between the two (mainly from Kenya) as Porsha's bubbly personality didn't sit well with the former Miss USA. "Like, OMG, I'm like so happy and a cheerleader."  Ha Porsha!

At the event, Porsha mistakenly introduced Kenya as "Miss America" and it all went downhill from there. In the pageant world, you must get the titles correct!  Especially if YOU invited her as a "face" for your event.

After Kenya walked outside to leave, Porsha followed her and a vicious war of words ensued between the ladies.  Kenya is crazier and more dramatic than we ever thought.  But we're TeamKenya on this one. 

Watch Kenya and Porsha battle it out here:

In other "RHOA" news.....

We told you previously about Kim Zolciak's moving drama and her Twitter war with former landlord Kendra Davis, and now the whole mess is playing out on this season's "RHOA."  

According to Kim, she's moving from the home she was renting from landord Kendra (and taking the $40,000 worth of flowers she planted in the yard) back to her townhouse because she can't find a house in ALL of Atlanta that is up to her standards.  We've been thinking she's a dirty liar for years now, and now it's obvious.

Most folks think she just doesn't have the money...but of course Kim would say otherwise.  But Kim says a lot of things...and now her own father, Joe Zolciak, is calling her out.  He told TMZ,  "Kim is a pathological liar PERIOD."

Kim and her parents are battling it out in court as Kim's dad Kim is blocking him and his wife from seeing the grandchildren.

They've filed court docs regarding the matter and Kim has filed papers of her own.  He continued, "I will not tolerate her trying to make a mockery of my wife or our family any further. We are completely humiliated by all the lies she has put in the media."

And to show just how sour feelings are between father and daughter, he also said she was a bad role model. "She has been married twice and has three different fathers of her four children. Let's face the facts."

That's a pretty harsh criticism to express publically about your daughter.  We guess they won't be spending the holidays together.... 

Check out a preview of Kim's "move" next week:

New rumors are in the mix that Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou and Djimon Hounsou are indeed heading for a split.  But....Kimora supposedly didn't know it was coming.

Deets inside...

After rumors hit the net this summer that Djimon & Kimora were heading for a split, both of them denied it via public statements and internet postings.

But today, with a report saying Djimon is prepping to split from Kimora for good, both sides are remaining mum for now.  Hollyscoop reports Djimon, who has little Kenzo with Kimora and who is stepdad to Aoki & Ming Lee, planned on filing for separation...without Kimora even knowing.

"They've been done for months," a source tells Hollyscoop, "he's planning on going public with the news this week."

As of now, it’s unsure what the marital status of these two is. They were married in West Africa in summer of 2008 because Kimora’s divorce from Russell Simmons wasn’t finalized yet and they reportedly never got a marriage license in the U.S.

But an overseas marriage is still recognized as legit even if you don’t reside in the country where you actually got hitched.

Messy.

No word on what the split is due to exactly, but this will be the second divorce for KiKi.  She seems just fine today, though, tweeting her excitement for her new JustFab.com shoot she's doing today.

Pop star Rihanna is offering fans from all over the world the chance to see her live....and for free! Watch Rihanna take the stage in London for her "777" tour inside at 5p EST......

With Rihanna's 7th studio album, Unapologetic,in stores now, the pop diva is taking the stage in London for her "777" tour.  The concert is streaming live through LoveLive's YouTube channel and Jay Z's Life + Times. Richard Cohen, the CEO of LoveLive, spoke of the project saying,

"These are monumental projects for LoveLive, encompassing music innovation and digital content for Rihanna - one of the greatest female artists of our time. We are thrilled River Island and Roc Nation have chosen us to deliver these activations, trusting our unique artist and channel relationships. With the documentary access granted and sheer scale of the stream, we hope to demonstrate that through LoveLive's creation of premium digital content and utilisation of channels such as YouTube, both artist and brand objectives can be achieved."

Following the conclusion of the "777" tour, Rihanna will kick off the 'Diamonds' world tour on March 8th 2013 in Buffalo, New York.

Meanwhile, the "mood" aboard the private plane where RiRi has tons of journalists and fans flying with her is not great.  Jeff Rosenthall of Rolling Stone wrote, "We haven't seen Rihanna offstage since the first day, unless you count her popping up at baggage claim for a few moments on the morning of the second." 

He then described the feeling aboard the plane as "one of mild depression-cum-hysteria" and added that they are both sleep and fuel deprived. However, they have been supplied with tons of booze...which probably isn't a good thing.

Famed stylist and reality tv star June Ambrose is making moves in the retail industry with a new shoe collection she's designed for HSN. Set to debut in March 2013, June's line will feature 12 styles of "...vibrant heels, wedges and flats with detailed jewels, python prints and acrylic accents."

June spoke about the upcoming line saying, “I thought [footwear] was a great category to launch with Mindy Grossman at HSN. They gave me a choice [of accessories], and I selected footwear. The [theme for spring] is ‘In The Wild,’ and I was taken by texture and architectural heels.”

The shoes will range from $59 to $100 with June saying “the price point is [aimed at] the fashionista who collects shoes and wants people to talk about them. They’re conversation pieces, but I also wanted them to be accessible.”

Rapper Lil' Wayne has teamed with socialite Paris Hilton to record a track called "Last Night (I Wanna Bang You)" where he references sexing the starlet and her own infamous sex tape that some of her sidekicks & fellow socialites learned from in order to launch their own careers. Listen to the track inside and find out why it might never be released......

Rapper Lil' Wayne teamed with Paris Hilton a while back for a song that was SUPPOSED to be on her upcoming album.  The track, "Last Night ( I Wanna Bang You)" features Weezy rapping about spending "a night in Paris" which references her infamous sex tape.

Although the track had been leaked online, it may never get an official release as it was produced by Paris' ex-boyfriend Afrojack, who has stopped working with her since their split earlier this year.  Oh the horror.  In fact, word has it that he's passed the song to Pitbull and has replaced Paris' vocals with Havana Brown.  Damn.

Ja Rule is prepping to get out of jail in February.  And he's even snapped some pics of himself behind bars with producers of a new movie he's working on.

Check out the swole-ness of Prison Ja inside....

He's been locked up since June 2011 after being convicted on a gun charge and copping a 2-year sentence.  And February 21, 2013, rapper Ja Rule will be a free man--about 4 months earlier than planned.

And he hasn't just been lifting weights and eating those 3 square meals a day.  He's made some friends, earned his high school diploma, and started work on a new movie all while behind bars.

Based on a message posted on his website, he's setting himself up to do some good after this jail stint is over:

Ja Rule‘s prison sentence is coming to an end. The sentence began on June 7th 2011. During that time he is gained his high school diploma and released his 7th studio album Pain is love 2 (PIL2) with the help of long time producer 7 Aurelius. He is expected to be released on 02/21/2013.
 

And above, he posed with producers from his new film project called I'm In Love With A Church Girl, which will hit theaters in “Spring/Summer 2013.  Well this should be a big change up from what we're used to.

It wouldn't hurt to rock another collabo with Ashanti and try to re-live the good ol days....when those two had hits.  Congrats to Ja on getting it together.

Funnyman Katt Williams suffered an unfunny meltdown during an Oakland, CA concert, which his close friends attributed to cocaine. Watch the uncomfortable moment inside....

In addition to numerous lawsuits, arrests and allegations of physical abuse, Katt Williams just can't seem to stay out of trouble or out of the headlines.  On Friday, during a concert in Oakland at the Oracle Arena, Katt Williams took the stage and had a very public meltdown.

During his set, fans say the comedian began removing his shirt and sweating profusely while spewing out a rambling set of monologues.  All within the span of ten minutes, he began verbally attacking a heckler and threatened to fight the individual backstage before telling him to bring his "b*tch" with him.  

He was later escorted off of the stage by his security, leaving man fans upset and demanding a refund.

It was a very sad and uncomfortable meltdown to watch; however, one of the show's comedians did hit the microphone to joke, "This is what happens when you get your dope in Oakland, CA!" Womp.

Watch the meltdown here:
