Gabby Union, Gloria James, Savannah Brinson & Lil' Wayne At The Miami Heat Game + Rick Ross' "Rich Forever" COVER ART

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST

Gabby Union, Gloria James, her future daughter-in-law Savannah Brinson and Lil' Wayne were among those spotted at the Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks game last night.  See the pics inside and also check out the cover art for Rick Ross' Rich Forever mixtape.

Last night, Gabrielle Union tweeted a pic (above) of her and her girlfriends, including AJ Johnson, cheering on the Miami Heat as they took on the Atlanta Hawks in the MIA.  Gabby said, 

Celebrating LOVE engagement & 's bday!  

Meanwhile, Mrs. Adrienne Bosh is still addressing those who thinks she overdresses:

Heading back to the arena to cheer our on! :)

 

Ha!  Also at the game.....

We may not always agree with Lil' Wayne's clothing choices, but we give him credit for mixing his skateboader lifestyle with hip hop culture. 

The rapper also hit the Miami Heat (the Hawks won 100-92) game wearing some leopard shorts, a hoodie and sneakers.  Interesting to say the least.

 

And in music.....

Until Rick Ross's much-anticipated mixtape Rich Forever drops on Friday at 3:05 p.m (officially), we have the cover art. In the black-and-white photo, Rick stares directly at the camera while smoking and rocking a big pinky ring.

Early deets about the mixtape reveal that it's hosted by DJ Scream and Shaheem Reid and will serve as an appetizer for his upcoming fifth album God Forgives, I Don’t.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have a lot in common...and their love for art is one of those things.  Mrs. Beatz posted pics on her Tumblr account of the couple's recent trip to Mr. Brainwash’s latest art exhibit in Los Angeles.  Their cool pics inside...

 

Alicia and big art collector Swizzy spent the Holidays taking in colorful inspiration.  They spent some time in L.A. and hit up the colorful, cooky, and fun exhibit that Alicia encourages all families to attend.  Here's a few of her pics:

Loving this Michael Jackson artistic expression.  Alicia said on her site:

went to the Mr. Brainwash exhibit today at 960 N Labrea. If your in the LA area you should absolutely go! It’s like a fantasy! Huge installations of everything u can imagine from oversized polaroid cameras to cars shoved into a hole. Huge 10 foot tall spray cans and Darth Vador made out of tires and one of my personal favorites, his crazy cool broken record series where iconic pictures are made out of broken records. Everyone will love this exhibit. All ages. It’s like a fun house!;-) if you went already or if u get a chance to go, tell me what u think!

Christina Milian OPENS UP About DIVORCING The Dream, Says You Can Mistake LUST For LOVE!

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST

As she promotes her new gig as media correspondent for the hit NBC show "The Voice" Christina Milian sat with Niecy Nash to talk about love and her divorce from The Dream became a topic. Watch the interview inside...

 

During a revealing chat with Niecy Nash (for her Yahoo! Love Channel) about her past relationship, Christina Milian revealed that she knows she's a great wife and girlfriend....but sometimes that isn't enough to stop a man from cheating. And guess what?  Being pretty won't keep him at home either, according to Christina.

She also added that sometimes "we" get so carried away that we might even mistake lust for love. Hmmm......

Sounds like she has a few regrets.  At least she got a BEAUTIFUL baby out of the situation.

Watch the interview here.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: VIDEO Of Chrissy Getting A RING From Jim Jones

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 06:49 PM PST

We concluded months ago that Jim Jones and Chrissy Lampkin were officially engaged and that he bought her a ring--based on the huge diamond ring she was rocking on her ring finger at the "Love & Hip Hop" press dinner. Jimmy shut down any inquiries about it at that time. And now, we know it's because he officially proposed on tonight's episode.

 

Chrissy may have proposed to Jim last season of "Love & Hip Hop," but as she said on tonight's episode, she's been feeling like Jim hasn't stepped up to the plate.  And she was ready to leave.

So after taking a break and going with her girls down to Miami, Jimmy popped up and surprised her...with a proper proposal.

Here's the clip of Jimmy presenting Chrissy with the same gorgeous engagement ring she was seen rocking back in November (pictured above):

Congrats to Jimmy & Chrissy!

SERIOUSLY? So Erica Mena Used To GET IT IN With Mobb Deep TOO?!

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 03:42 PM PST

Seems likes appearing on reality tv might not have been the best thing for "Love & Hip Hop" newcomer Erica Mena's career (well, depends on how you look at it) as all of her dirty little deeds are coming to light. Now we are finding out that she used to get it in with Havoc of Mobb Deep... and Prodigy also wrote about his sexcapade with her in his book. Read the excerpt inside.....

We previously reported that Erica Mena said VH1 producers were ruining her career with the way they "edited" her.  Then, in our exclusive interview, Kimbella made shocking stripper/oral sex for $200 claims saying she "heard" about Erica.  Now....we are getting more dirty little deets.

Back in the day she used to "date" Havoc of Mobb Deep.  But after a few drinks in the VIP room, she sorta let his Mobb Deep partner Prodigy get some finger action.  Ew.  And Prodigy spilled all the deets in his 2011 book My Infamous Life. SMH......

Oh Erica.....what's next?

THROWBACK: Chrissy & Jim Jones On "Life In The Fast Lane"

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 03:21 PM PST

Jim Jones and girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin have been going strong for over 7 years now.  Here's a throwback look inside the first couple years of their relationship--which was shown on Jim Jones' "Day In The Fast Life" DVD.  Some things never change...

Back in 2006, Jim Jones shot his Day In The Fast Life documentary.  And a portion of it focused on the love of his life--as he called her--Chrissy.

Now that we're seeing their relationship play out every monday on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop," it's interesting to see how their relationship still seems just as it did over 5 years ago.

And we peep Yandy at the 1:46 mark too...

THAT WAS QUICK! Drake Hooked Back Up With His Ex Because Of A Fight With Dollicia?!

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 12:47 PM PST

Reports swirled around the net yesterday that Drake brought his ex girlfriend to his NYE performance in NYC's Times Square.  All just days after video vixen Dollicia Bryan confirmed via her rep that she and Drizzy were indeed dating.

 

Now we've learned what supposedly caused Drake to go back to his ex....

After Drake tweeted about spending the Holidays in L.A. with Dollicia Bryan, and she confirmed via her rep Drake was indeed her new boo...Mr. Graham showed up for his NYE performance with his old girlfriend, Nebby.  She's the one Drake supposedly wrote "Best I Ever Had" about.

We've now learned that Drake and Dollicia had a big blowout fight right before Drizzy left for NYC.  And it was all over his colored contacts.

The two were dining at Villa Blanca in LA.  We're told that Dollicia told Drake she didn't think it was a good look for him to wear hazel-colored contacts. Drake supposedly got upset and offended.  And as the argument escalated, people in the restaurant witnessed Dollicia just get up from the table and walk away. Drake left the restaurant pissed afterwards.

While this all sounds superficial and crazy, we're not surprised at all.

We're told Dollicia stayed in Los Angeles for New Year's.  Oh wells...
