Chris Brown ATTEMPTS To Rap on FULL Throttle!

I cringed sitting here listening to Chris Brown‘s freestyle rap attempt on Funkmaster Flex’s Full Throttle! Did his short rap verse on Look At Me Now get him gassed up?

“I wrap her legs around my head like a necklace/UGH!… It’s like its bombs over Baghdad/ and shorty’s ass phat — so Ima bag dat.” – Chris Brown
SMH. Horrible.

Nick Cannon Explains Why Child Protective Services Were Called On Mariah Carey Read more: Nick Cannon Explains Why Child Protective Services Were Called On Mariah Carey

Still basking in the glow of their newborn twins, Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon were involved in some drama when Child Services were called on Mariah after the twins were born. According to reports, Mariah had remained in the hospital a week after her babies were born because she was nursing a minor infection following her C-Section. One day, while Mariah was breastfeeding her babies, a female representative from Child Protective Services paid a visit to the hospital. The rep claimed that she was following up on a tip that said that Mariah was drinking and taking pain medications while breastfeeding which could harm her babies.
According to Nick Cannon, the visit from CPS was part of a tabloid scam. He tells Piers Morgan, in an interview that will air next week, that someone heard the nurse tell Mariah to drink Guinness Beer to improve breast feeding and called CPS, not because they believed Mariah did anything wrong, but because they were hoping the CPS agent would be able to get a photo of the babies that could be sold to the tabloids.

“It all started when a nurse suggested to my wife that if you drink Guinness, the dark beer, the yeast improves breastfeeding… I don’t know if someone heard that, but then they were saying my wife was drinking beer. People will do anything to try to conjure up a story.
“Then when I spoke to the person from child protection services, (they said), ‘This is ridiculous, we’re going to make sure this isn’t the case’. To even have to deal with that, my wife in the state that she’s in, we’re in the hospital, to even have to think about someone possibly wanting to investigate your children… it’s sad at the end of the day.”
“There’s been photographers actually in the hospital posing as different people or (people) trying to get pictures of the kids, which is really sad when you think about people trying to make a buck off newborn babies.”

That’s insane. The woman can’t breastfeed in a hospital without people trying to make some pocket change off of her.
In better news for the couple, check out the $12,000, 14-karat white and rose gold necklace that Nick gave Mariah for Mother’s Day:

mily B. SPLITS From Fabolous+Pics From "Love & Hip Hop" Reunion Taping

The ladies of "Love & Hip Hop" had their reunion show taping this week in NYC.  And with Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez playing host, lots of interesting things were revealed.

We've got a sneak peek at the ladies' taping, and Emily B. revelaing she and Fabolous have SPLIT, when you read on...
Somaya Reece, Emily B., Chrissy Lampkin, and Olivia all hit the couch for the reunion show of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop" this week.  Not going to lie, I surprisingly could stomach this whole season.  So I'm looking forward to the reunion.
With that said, the main ish that made me want to throw my laptop at my flat screen every week was Emily B. and Fabolous' relationship.  Or lack thereof.  Emily seemed to be a bit naive and a bit self-underestimating.  And his actions--like telling her she doesn't need to ever be seen on red carpets with him, or she doesn't need to be in clubs since that's not what "mothers" do, and so forth--that she actually co-signed on were shocking.   It was painfully obvious to everyone else BUT Emily that Fab had no intentions of marrying her or having anything more.  I wanted to FedEx her a copy of "He's Just Not That Into You" SO MANY TIMES.
But it seems like she's smartened up.  Because according to our homie Joi-Marie, Ms. Emily, who shares with Fab a baby boy named Johan, said at the taping that she and Fab are DUNZO.
"I'm not going to continue to recognize someone who doesn't recognize me."
Fabolous said in a recent interview

"We're not married. We have a relationship and a continuous bond that we're gonna have with our son.  It's a situation where we try to supply the best life for our son. ...even if relationship-wise we're not compatible."

Well there you have it.
More pics from the reunion show taping thanks to photographer Rowena Husbands:


Olivia looks gorge.  Loves the hair and makeup.


Great color for Chrissy.  Outfit is cute too. 

Yassss.  Mama Jones looks ready to pop off.  Loves it.

Get it Nancy!

So Somaya's still trying I see.  At least she stepped her shoe game up....a bit.

Jimmy Jones hit the couch with Chrissy and the ladies too.  Maybe he'll actually be clear this time about whether he is really going to marry Chrissy after her proposal.

Executive Producer of the reality show, Mona Scott, was on hand.  Nice look for Emily too.

And Ashanti's lil sis Shi Shi was randomly in the place too.
I'll be watching....

Raven Symone Talks Weight Loss, Dating And Having A "Hot Toddy" On "Wendy"

Raven Symone stopped by the "Wendy" show today to talk about her weight loss, her new sitcom and dating.  Find out what she said below......
Raven Symone stopped by Wendy Williams' show today to talk about a number of things going on in her life.  First, she talked to Wendy about her weight loss saying she was a stress eater.  She revealed that while she was taping "That's So Raven" she was under a lot of stress because so many people's paychecks depended on her.  Now, she works out and does portion control to keep stress to a minimum.
She dished a funny story about the Kentucky Derby.  She says she was getting dressed and heard Usher's song "Hot Toddy" on the radio and her inner-drag queen came out. That's why her makeup ended up so bold and dramatic.
And she even gave the audience tips on how to flirt with a guy and then walk away.  Just to leave him begging for more.  She also talked about "The State Of Georgia"--her new show on ABC Family.  She stars as a struggling actress who moves to NYC.

Alicia Keys Finally Defends Her (Non) Homewrecking Ways

For over 3 years, Alicia Keys has been branded a homewrecker ever since she first started dating her now-husband Swizz Beatz.  After news broke that Swizzy was still very much married to his wife, at the time, Mashonda Tifrere, Alicia remained quiet for years about being the woman who allegedly broke up Swizz and Mashonda's relationship.  Until now.

Alicia finally defends herself for the first time when you read on....
In the June 2011 issue of ESSENCE magazine, cover girl Alicia Keys speaks out against those scandalous homewrecker accusations--years after they began.
YBF first broke the news of Alicia and Swizz's relationship back in 2007, with most people not believing it as Swizz was still very much married to Mashonda.  But with pics of the two surfacing on vacay together, throwing birthday parties for each other, and cell phone kissy pics leaking, the evidence piled up.

Now, Alicia tells Essence that Swizz and Mashonda were "completely separated" before they started dating:

We didn't start seeing each other until months after they had separated,' she said. 'I was aware of all the false things that were being said about me it definitely hurt."

Mashonda says the oppsite though in plenty of interviews, very public Twitter rants, as well as on the reality show "Love & Hip Hop."  Maybe the definition of "separated" is the issue.  Legal vs. the feeling of separation.  Swizz has said in interviews he had no longer felt "close" or married to Mashonda in his mind and heart.   But still, Mashonda has maintained that she and Swizz had just had a baby and were still sexually involved and no papers were served when Swizz and Alicia started dating--she had no clue he wanted a divorce.
Alicia, who became engaged to Swizz 1 month after he and Mashonda's divorce was final, continues with her side of the story saying:

I was sure that if I engaged it would become back-and-forth like some sick entertainment, which goes against everything I believe and would have made things worse.
Things are really good now,' said Alicia who also revealed that her love with Dean is 'intoxicating and whole'.
Kasseem is very present in his children's lives. I wouldn't be able to love him otherwise.  We are doing what is best for the children,' she added.

Meanwhile, Swizz also conceived another child with a British singer Jahna Sebastian while married to Mashonda, which he wholly admits.
On why she didn't speak on this matter until now, Ms. Keys always recalls some advice Oprah Winfrey told her for many years: 'She whispered in my ear and said "Keep some of you for you."
Alicia and Swizz are now extremely happy with their baby boy Egypt, who was named after the African country since that is where Alicia visited years ago when she wanted to relieve the pressures of success and fame.  And Mashonda has always maintained that Swizz is a great father to all 4 of his kids.

Omarion Remakes Aaliyah’s “One In A Million”

Omarion is on the roll with recreating timeless classics that I the eighties babies grew up on. A couple months ago, hr released “Come F*ck With Me”, a remake of the R&B group Jodeci. Now he’s released the makeover to the beautiful Aaliyah mega hit song “One In A Million”.
Omarion has been hard in the studio grinding out the finishing touches to his mix tape entitled “The Awakening”. Make sure y’all go out and cop the new mix tape. I got a funny feeling that the artist of this generation is taking R&B music back to the basics which is very refreshing because the industry is missing that cord.

Bishop Eddie Long Will Go Trial in August Or September

The settlement negotiations in lawsuits against Bishop Eddie Long were speeding along but may have hit some bumps. The judge in the case told Channel 2 Action News that he is scheduling trial for late summer, the TV station reported Thursday. The threat of a trial appears to conflict with an earlier statement by State Court Judge Johnny Panos.



Around Easter, Panos told Channel 2 that the major obstacles to the settlement had been resolved and that the parties were discussing small details. Four young men have accused Long, the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, of sexual coercion. He has denied the allegations. If this goes to trail hold on to your church hats ladies! Pictures, e-mails, text messages, phone records are gonna have your church bulletins looking like a tabloid!  New Birth spokesman Art Franklin declined to comment when reached by the AJC on Thursday. If everything goes as BJ Berstein plans then Eddie Long will be in court sometime between August and September!
