Keri Hilson stopped by "106 & Park" yesterday where she was honored for her work with the "Get Schooled" campaign. 

Explaining why she works with the campaign Keri said, “It’s not that I feel obligated, but these are things that I love to do. I come from a family of educators. It means a lot for me to be able to do it. It’s like works of the heart.”

Keri also revealed that she is working on a third album and is considering another single from the No Boys Allowed disc.

 

Watch the interview here:

 

Also on the show.......

Gabby Sidibe got kissy with her pal and director, Brett Ratner.

Brett directed Gabby in the upcoming comedy thriller Tower Heist.

Eddie Murphy (also in Tower Heist) stopped by the show a little earlier.  It seems like the movie might be a big hit this season.

MOVIE FAB: Diddy, Nas & Serena Take Over The "Tower Heist" Premiere

Posted: 25 Oct 2011 06:30 AM PDT

Last night, Serena Williams, Nas and Diddy were among the celebs who came out to support the new Eddie Murphy flick Tower Heist.  See the red carpet pics inside...

 

The Ziegfeld Theatre played hosted to the world premiere of the Brett Ratner-directed flick Tower Heistlast night.  The director was joined by producer Brian Grazer, Donald and Melania Trump and Diddy on the red carpet.

And while Ben Stiller may get top billing, everyone one is looking forward to Eddie Murphy's return to big comedy blockbusters.

Diddy looked pretty dapper in his suit as he walked the carpet.

Nas kept it very casual as he walked the carpet in his timberlands.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams paid homage to Janet Jackson (from the 80s) rocking all black with curly hair.  She made an interesting choice with the shoes.....

And in her biggest film since the release of Precious, Gabby Sidibe stepped out in a shimmery silver dress paired with black heels.  I believe it's the first time she's rocked a non-floor length or below the kneww dress to a red carpet event.

SPLITSVILLE: Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga?

Posted: 25 Oct 2011 06:25 AM PDT

Looks like her own weight isn't the only thing Jennifer Hudson has dropped.  Sources are reporting that she and fiance David Otunga have allegedly called off their engagement.  That's gotta suck when you already have your dress, ring, and the date.

 

Deets inside....

Star Magazine has reported that their sources have informed them that Jenny & David called off their 3-year-engagement.  According to the tabloid:

The American Idol alum, 30, and WWE star David Otunga - who have a 2-year-old son, David jr. - are on the outs, clashing over Jennifer's career obsession, commitment issues and reluctance to have more children.

"They were going to tie the knot in August in Jennifer's hometown of Chicago... but it's not going to happen," an insider reveals.

Jennifer recently revealed the two had finally set a wedding date that she was keeping secret. Neither of the twosome have confirmed the reports yet.

Just this past February, we chatted with Jen about her impending nuptials.  And she gushed about customizing her wedding dress and seemed extremely excited.  We guess things have changed:

 

Happy 26th Birthday Ciara!

Posted: 25 Oct 2011 06:00 AM PDT

The Princess of Crunk-N-B, Ciara, celebrates her birthday today.  Come inside for 26 years worth of her "Goodies."

 

With her whispery vocals and dance moves, Ciara helped put Atlanta's pop scene on the map with her bad girl swagger and girl-next door looks.

But it hasn't been a bump-free ride for CiCi lately as we have watched her go from disappointing album sales and beefs with Rihanna to breaking up with Amar'e Stoudemire.  But at she least she looked fabulous through it all.

Though she started out in the game as a poplocking tomboy, we've seen her evolve as the face of Givenchy and become a fashion week fixture. 

Celebrate Ciara's styles from the past year in our gallery....

SPLITSVILLE...AGAIN! Matt Barnes & "Basketball Wife" Gloria Govan Are DONE.

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 03:39 PM PDT

And we're back here again.  After calling off their engagement last year, but convincing the public they're still a couple, Laker baller Matt Barnes and "Basketball Wife" Gloria Govan have called it quits.

 

Deets inside plus what Matt & Glo had to say about it today....

I have a feeling certain Miami BBW's are going to have something to say soon.  But Matt and Gloria have recently decided to end their relationship.  Matt emailed out a statement today about the split:

“I’d like to address the rumors surrounding mine and Gloria’s relationship. We have reached the difficult decision of ending our relationship and will be going our separate ways at this time. We will work together to raise our sons and wish each other only the best.”

And Gloria just tweeted her statement saying:

I'm sure you guys are hearing a ton of buzz about Matt and Me breaking up, sorry to say... its true!!! But the most important thing is focusing on my kids and continuing to have a good relationship with their father, thanks for your support!!!
 

The L.A. Times reports a heated twitter exchange between Matt (this dude and his damn Tweets) and a fan was a tell-tale sign:

Perhaps the most telling sign regarding Barnes' feelings about Govan came last week during a Twitter exchange with a fan. That person suggested Barnes should marry her or else someone else will. Responded Barnes: "He can have her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Meanwhile, Govan retweeted the following message on Saturday: "If someone is dumb enough to walk away, be smart enough to let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you."

The two share 3-year-old twins Carter Kelly & Isaiah Michael, as well as a home in Palos Verde.  Well the next season of Basketball Barely Wives should be interesting....

Monica (Looking Pregnant), T.I. & Rapper Son Domani, Tiny, Ciara, Diggy, & More Hit The SCREAM TOUR In Atlanta

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 11:53 AM PDT

Monica spent her pre-birthday with 2 of her fave guys--her sons Rocko, Jr. and Romello.  She and her girl Tiny brought their kiddies to the Scream Tour stop in Atlanta last night. And Tiny's man T.I. performed and debuted his own new rap protege, his son Domani, aka G-Money.

 

Pics of the ATL celebs inside...

Monica and Tiny kicked it at the Fox Theater last night.

Monica looked like she was covering up her baby bump she has yet to confirm with her oversized sweater as she arrived.

And she also snapped pics with her fam and Jermaine Dupri (who brought his daughter and her friends along).  J.D.'s daughter is getting so tall!

Tiny's fam seemed to take over the Scream Tour, which featured Mindless Behavior, Diggy Simmons, Omg Girlz, and Jacob Latimore.  Her 14-yar-old daughter Zonnique hit the stage with the OMG Girlz, while her and TIP's oldest son Domani hit the stage as his new rap alter ego G-Money, and she also brought King along to watch.

 

Indeed a family affair for the Harris folks.

ATL native Ciara surprised the crowd appearing on stage with Mindless Behavior.

Diggy rocked the stage and drove the little girls crazy.  Kandi Burruss tweeted that she brought her daughter Riley and her friends to the concert since they made straight A's.

Cracking up @ Riley! Diggy Simmons told all the single ladies 2 make noise & she's screamin.Then she looked @ me & said"I am single"9yrs old
 

Ha!

J.D. hit the stage as well.  I'm sure the kiddies had some fun....

ON THE SET: Bridget Kelly's New Photoshoot+Other Ish

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 11:19 AM PDT

Bridget Kelly is set to premiere her new webisode to accompany her new EP "Every Girl."  We've got the first look at her teaser, plus get the deets on what Tiffany Evans has been up to with her new media company...

Bridget is giving her fans some insight into her new photoshoot and EP Every Girl that she just released.  And the newest Roc chick is letting you in on it in this trailer for her upcoming webisode.  Check it.

 

Remember Tiffany Evans?

Since parting ways with manager Mathew Knowles over a year ago, the singer has taken control of her own career and formed Little Lady Entertainment.  

She was recently photographed on the set the video for her "Won't Find Me" single which will appear on an upcoming EP. 

In addition to producing the video and EP, Little Lady Entertainment is also planning to drop a power ballad in the near future. 

Also, she just finished taping a performance for the CW show "Koncrete Nation", a new dance battle show for teens. 

Though the network hasn't announced when the show will air, Tiffany has the honor of being its first musical guest.  

She's a busy chick.  Congrats Tiff!

Did Webbie SMOKE That -ISH While THREATENING To BEAT Terrence J's A$$ + Why Was Tyrese BURPING And EATING Fried Chicken During An Interview?

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 10:16 AM PDT

 

Sigh......your cousins are acting up again.  First, Webbie posted a rant about kicking Terrence J's ass, but all anyone can focus on is whether he is high or not. 

 

Then cousin Tyrese gave an interview where he ate fried chicken and belched throughout it.  Get the deets inside....

 

Rapper Webbie posted a video where he threatened to beat up Terrence J for getting him kicked off "106 & Park."  Now...why would Terrence J be concerned about Webbie? 

Webbie claims that he has a big um.....penis (of course he didn't use that word) and that he offered fellow Louisiana chick Rocsi some.  When Terrence J found out about it, he supposedly had Webbie banned. 

Now, this may or may not be true....but that's not even important.  Keep your eye on his left hand.  In his right hand is a cigarette, and in his left hand is something else.  You might think its weed...but watching the video, one might assume he graduated to something stronger a long time ago.  Is Webbie smoking that -ish?  You be the judge. 

 

By the way, he also tweeted this threat:

Not holding nmo beef with he a wanna be ass nigga. Ima just simply beat him up when I catch him.

Hold up.....Webbie tweets?  Am I the only one shocked to find out he's literate outside spelling complex words like I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T?

 

In other news......




Bestselling author Tyrese is being calling out by folks for not acting "proper."  Apparently people are insulted by Tyrese's behavior and demeanor during a recent video interview.  While chatting with media in Baltimore, Tyrese ate fried chicken and burped several times.  In between chatting about the other R&B cats he's feeling and his new Teddy Pendergrass biopic.

Now Tyrese is being slightly defensive on Twitter.

 

 

Oh...
