| Meagan Good, Christina Milian, & More Get TASTEY On McDonald's Red Carpet Posted: 27 Jan 2012 08:32 AM PST
The YBF folks hit up the McDonald's red carpet launch for their new McBites products. And you know everybody loves a piece of chicken or two. Check out the fab folks having fun on the carpet inside... Christina Milian and her little black romper and cheetah print pumps kicked it on the carpet with fellow actress Meagan Good last night in Hollywood for the McBites event.
Think Like A Man star Meagan rocked her usual grey jeans and grey tank with grey booties--and still managed to look sexy getting a taste of the new product.
"The Voice" social media correspondent Christina kept it cutesy.
Christopher "Kid" Reid brought his box of McBites on the carpet. Isn't there a new bench warrant out for his arrest? Is being on a red carpet for some chicken really the best idea right now homie?
Cheryl "Salt" James and Sandy "Pepa" Denton hit the carpet in their usual looks. Pep does not leave the house without her fishnets and over-the-knee boots I see.
Red Tails and "90210" star Tristan Wilds made a cute appearance as well. Pics via WENN |
| DO WE LOVE IT? Mel B's New Choppy Fringe Cut Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:43 AM PST
Former Spice Girl and new Jenny Craig spokeswoman Mel B was spotted in LA yesterday rocking a shorter, funkier haircut. Come inside and decide if we love it...
With her LA mansion on the market and a planned move to Australia reportedly on the horizon, Mel B debuted a new haircut yesterday. While shopping it up at Chanel, the mother of 3 rocked a blue jumpsuit with a peek-a-boo lace bra and a woven tan bag. Looks like she wanted to go from uber long flowing tresses to shoulder-length and choppy. So.......
DO WE LOVE IT?

| Posted: 27 Jan 2012 06:53 AM PST Rihanna, who was spotted chillin' courtside at the Clippers game last night in L.A., just signed on as executive producer of a new fashion competition show set in the UK. Inside, get deets about the show and find out what she said about people hating on her new "Thug Life" tattoo. Plus Jennifer Hudson's fiance David Otunga finally using his law degree... Rihanna is set to executive produce an as-yet-untitled fashion competition show that will air on the Sky Living channel in Britain. The show will be hosted by Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts and will include appearances by Rihanna. On Sky Living's website, Rihanna said, "I've always had a great love of fashion. It's a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I've grown into the person and artist I am today. I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage. I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show." Sources say the show will mimic "Project Runway" with designers creating a unique stage outfit for Rihanna's performance at the Wireless festival in Hyde Park, England, in July.
And about that tattoo...... When folks got on Twitter blasting Rih for getting a "Thug Life" tattoo on her knuckles, she blasted back and let them know she will do as she damn well pleases. She tweeted, 'Err'body has an opinion, but yall know what yall can do with them!!! #THUGLIFE.' I'm thinking I shoulda got a tear drop instead!!! #THUGLIFE maybe next time. All eyes on Rih, betta picture me rollin' #THUGLIFE," "I can't deny it, ima riot..u don't wanna fuck with me! #THUGLIFE haaaaaaa. RIHpac back!!!" Goodness.... More pics of Rih courtside last night:
And in a NY courtroom.......
David Otunga (the Harvard-law educated baby daddy of Jennifer Hudson) made a triumphant return to the courtroom recently. Could you imagine this dude as your lawyer after you just saw all his ish in some speedos? Taking time out from his successful WWE gig, Harvard Law grad David was in court yesterday representing a man in a wrongful termination suit at the NY State Department of Labor. And David clearly body slammed the competition as he won the case and got his client his unemployment benefits. David tweeted, "Just made my return to the courtroom. Smoked a witness on cross-exam, sustained objections to other lawyer, and won the case for my client." And showing off his cocky side, he added, "If the outcome of the case is any indication of how I'll do in the Royal Rumble this weekend, then it looks like I'll be the winner." SIDEBAR: He took the case pro bono. |
| VIDEO: D'Angelo RETURNS To The Stage In Stockholm, Kicks Off European Tour! Posted: 27 Jan 2012 06:17 AM PST
Oh...there you are Mr. D'Angelo. It's been over 11 years and 2 U.S. Presidents since we've seen D'Angelo perform live....or barely anywhere in public for that matter. But he kicked off his European D-Tour last night in Stockholm, Sweden. Video inside...
In his first live performance since the 2000 Voodoo Tour, D'Angelo played to Sweden's capital last night...rocking long braids and swole arms (remember when his fitness instructor said they've been in the gym constantly?). He was joined by his drummer Chris Dave and frequent collaborator Pino Palladino for last night's show--which he seemed ecstatic to be performing. And his next stops are Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Oslo, Zurich, and Hamburg. And Questlove says D's upcoming album we've been waiting forever for, James River, is "97% done." Peep the vids: Performing "Sugar Daddy": |

The -ish just got real between Evelyn and Jennifer and "BBW" hasn't even started up yet! Jen recently revealed the "very" petty reasons she and her former friend don't talk anymore and Evelyn LASHED out calling her insecure and saying she wants to be a white girl! Deets inside..... We revealed to you earlier that Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams will indeed have a big falling out on camera this season on "BBW" and now little details about the basis of the beef as leaking out. And it's VERY childish. So why are they beefing? Jennifer told S2S that Evelyn is upset because she's friends with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes and Mashonda. "Let me tell you what she’s mad over ‘cause this always comes up. She hates the fact that I’m really good friends with Nene [Leakes] and she hates the fact that me and Mashonda are good friends. I feel like it’s all coming from a place of hurt, and she’s turning it into anger. Why do you care who I’m friends with? Like, that’s ridiculous," Jen explains. "I live in New York. You live in Miami. I don’t care who you hang out with. I’m kinda over it because I just feel like I’m at a point at my life where I’m trying to get rid of negative energy. To me, I feel like it’s something so minuscule. It’s not like I slept with Chad. It’s not something irreparable. It’s something stupid that you’re mad over. If you really are mad because I have other friends, I think that’s completely ridiculous.” Evelyn was NOT HAPPY when she heard about this. She took to Twitter and unleashed a vicious rant (it was so bad that Chad had to jump in!).
Boom! The comment about the purple contacts had to hurt!

| THE SECRET IS OUT! Jordin Sparks And Jason Derulo Are An Item! Posted: 26 Jan 2012 01:02 PM PST
We suspected that Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo might be making music together and it turns out.....we were right! Find out what event helped the couple make it official inside..... Jason Derulo has announced that he is dating singer Jordin Sparks.....and it was his tragic accident a few weeks ago that spurred on the admission. Jason fractured his neck during a dance routine and was nearly paralyzed recently, and now during his healing phase, he's decided to talk about his love life. "We are together. She lives in Phoenix and she comes [to Miami] and takes care of me, brings me breakfast in bed and she'll go on walks with me. We've gotten closer because of my accident. It's awesome to have someone you can talk to and she's a wonderful person." And speaking of recovery, he says, "I'm taking it one day at a time. It's been really eye opening. It's given me a chance to look at everything and realize how blessed I truly am."
The two do make a cute pair! |

Fab actresses Paula Patton, Kerry Washington, Octavia Spencer AND Pam Grier will honored at the 5th annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon next month. Get deets about the luncheon inside.... Continuing to inspire and uplift African American women, ESSENCE Magazine will use next month to honor five extraordinary women who have left an indelible impression with their work: Kerry Washington (Vanguard Award), Octavia Spencer (Breakthrough Performance), Pam Grier (Legend Award), Paula Patton (Shining Star Award) and Shonda Rhimes (Visionary Award presented by Lincoln).
The annual luncheon (which has also honored Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Angela Bassett in the past) will take place on February 23, 2012 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And for fans of the ladies who'd like to be a part of the experience Essence.com is giving fans exclusive access to all the red-carpet celebrity style, action and interviews via live stream from 11:30am to 12:30pm PST and re-airing that evening at 9:00pm EST. When asked about the event, ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Constance White said, "Black women actors, writers, directors and producers still lack diverse opportunities in Hollywood and, unfortunately, are often overlooked during awards season. The ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon exists to provide a fitting tribute to the brilliant talent and accomplishments of African-American trailblazers like Kerry, Pam, Paula, Octavia and Shonda and celebrate their collective work as an inspiration for generations to come." Congrats to the ladies! |
