SERIOUSLY!? So Trina Braxton's Husband Gabe Had INTERNET SEX With A TRANSGENDERED WOMAN?

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 09:42 AM PST

It's no secret to "Braxton Family Values" obsessors (like us) that Gabe Solis has spent most of his 7-year marriage to Trina Braxton engaging in some form of cheating.  In last week's episode, we found out that some of this cheating has been on a social networking site.

 

But now there's proof he had internet sex with a transgendered woman! Get the deets AND pics inside....

Remember the trangendered woman who allegedly had some online interractions with JoJo Simmons?  Well apparently, according to Baller Alert, she gets around (via her wi-fi of course). 

The internet streets are saying that one of the MANY women that Gabe Solis "allegedly" had contact with was a trangendered woman named Julisa Abadshian.  Sigh.....

Trina.......walk away boo.  The proof is in the pics:

Now I'm not and never have been married.  But until someone explains WHY Trina is still married to this man after umpteen PUBLIC situations such as these...I will be forever baffled.

 

Watch Trina in tears as she talks to Gabe and throws in the towel on their relationship--kinda--at the (8:30) mark:

Please remember that Trina and Gabe appeared back in each other's good graces just last month, AFTER this was filmed.

BIRTHDAY GALS: Kelly Rowland Shops & Dines With Tika Sumpter & LaLa Anthony

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 08:13 AM PST

It was a day of shopping...and having a fab dinner...all to celebrate Kelly Rowland's 31st birthday.  Pics of LaL Anthony & Tika Sumpter having some fun with their girl inside...

Kelly Rowland and LaLa hit up Intermix in L.A. just days after their GRAMMY festivities this past weekend.  Kelly turned 31 on Saturday--the same day as the Whitney Houston tragedy.  So her girls LaLa and Tika hit the town with her to offer up some cheer.

And after shopping, the girls changed clothes and headed to Beso for dinner with actress Tika Sumpter:
 

 

Kelly also spoke out to Access Hollywood yesterday asking the media to leave Bobbi Kristina alone and let her mourn in peace:

“The media should calm down. Allow this to be a moment for Bobbi Kristina to have for herself. Leave her alone!," Rowland told Access Hollywood during an interview Monday. "Let her have her moment. This is not about anybody else. She’s lost her mother, and [Whitney Houston’s] mother has lost her child. Respect that.”
 

She looked fab and casual after dinner carrying some b-day gifts:

 

Fab times.

Chaka Khan TALKS Whitney's Death, Says Clive Davis Should Have CANCELLED His Party!

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 06:41 AM PST

Music icon Chaka Khan stopped by Piers Morgan's CNN show last night where she disagreed with Clive Davis saying there's no way Whitney would have attended a party if one of her friends had just died. She would not have wanted the music to keep playing. Get the deets inside.....

Chaka chatted with Piers Morgan last night and opened up about the death of friend Whitney Houston.

She said that Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party was "insanity" with one half of the room partying and the other half in tears. She added that she can't imagine Whitney would have said that "the show must go on."

Chaka revealed Whitney was the kind of woman who who has said, "I won't be there," if one of her friends died. She interestingly added that she blames whomever flew Whitney out to LA for a full week before the Grammys for what happened.

Talking about her own addiction, Chaka said entertainers are vulnerable and there are too many temptations in LA for someone like Whitney to be there for a FULL week with pretty much nothing to do except party.

Meanwhile, Whitney's body has been flown to New Jersey, via Tyler Perry's private jet, where the funeral will be taking place at the Prudential Center her childhood church and will be invite only.

Watch the clips below:

 

 

EXTRAS:

NEW MUSIC: Nicki Minaj's "Starships"

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 05:16 AM PST

Fresh off her exorcism during Sunday night's 2012 GRAMMY Awards, Nicki Minaj just dropped her brand new track "Starships."  Check it inside...

The next single off Nicki's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (4/3/2012) is this poppy dance beat single "Starships." It's produced by RedOne and will likely be all her techno Barbz's fave club song.  Check it:

We wonder how she and SB are spending Romantine's Day....

Meanwhile, Nicki told Ryan Seacrest yesterday she was "disappointed" in M.I.A.'s flip off gesture during their Superbowl halftime show with Madonna earlier this month:

"I'm a cuckoo lady, too, but I would never be able to do it off the strength of Madonna," said the rapper. "There are fines that go into these things, and I just thought, 'Oh my God, I hope they don't penalize Madonna.' Madonna knows the artist MIA is and it was her decision to take the risk with all of us. We're all kind of firecrackers and she took that risk. She's done some crazy things becoming the icon that she is, so I think that's why she was able to forgive MIA."

Minaj went on to add: I love MIA and I don't want to say anything that is the wrong thing, but me personally, I couldn't see myself doing it, just for the respect for Madonna. I wouldn't want any backlash to come back on Madonna."

 

 

 

Beyonce Preps TWO New Projects (Including New Album) For 2012

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 02:53 PM PST

One of Beyonce's producers just spilled the beans that the new mom is--unsurprisingly--gearing up for her fifth solo studio album.  Plus, she's got a second project up her sleeve for 2012.  Deets inside...

 

Told y'all this chick was planning album content while she was breastfeeding and changing diapers.  Baby Blue's mom is said to be already setting up to work on a new album.  And yes, B.I.C. will likely be her muse.  Producer/Songwriter Ryan Tedder, who just copped an award at last night's GRAMMYS for contributing to Adele's Album of the Year, 21, revealed some generalities.

He said it goes “without saying” that Bey’s work will have some reflection on her newborn child Blue Ivy, but that “the conversations about her next album literally just happened.”

“You feed her the best that you have. She’s just a phenomenal filter… she can identify what the next thing is,” Tedder said of the “Party” girl, noting that she has “two projects happening” this year. “You just let her go.”

Bey is also conducting a global remix competition for her fans.  The best remix of her track "End of Time" will appear on a future release. 

Here we go...

Drake clearly enjoyed the Grey Goose sponsorship.

 
Gabrielle Union and Savannah Brinson tweeted a few pics of themselves getting down at the party. 

 
 
Matt Barnes was there with Gloria Govan.  Holding hand and all.  So much for that breakup.  She said they've been "dating again" but clearly things have escalated.

 
Carl Payne was getting his grown man on.....but the thick beard DOES NOT work for him.  Trim it please!

 
A slim and trim Marsha Ambrosius rocked a strawberry blonde coif and sparkling dress.


 
Tyga got his party on. No Blac Chyna?

 
And Ameriie was there too.  But about this hair....not loving it.  Getting a Star Trek vibe..

Nicki Minaj Covers NEW YORK Magazine, Explains Controversial GRAMMY Performance

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 12:41 PM PST

Nicki Minaj is talking about fashion--and why she's over that world.  The "Stupid H*e" rapper tells New York Magazine that she's not about fitting into the IN crowd.  And she tells Ryan Seacreast why she went the route she did last night....

In a series of candid shots with gritty special effects, Nicki poses for the Spring FASHION issue of New York magazine.  Here's highlights from her interesting perspective about the fashion world--and why she's skipping NY Fashion Week for the most part:

Are you coming back to Fashion Week this time?
I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this “in” crowd, and I’m not into that. But I’m doing a Barbie fashion show. They did a Barbie for me, and that is super friggin’ amazing.

So is it safe to assume that you were always interested in fashion?
I’ve always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13. When I first went to get my hair colored, I was about 14 and I wanted blonde highlights. The beautician said, “No, you have to get your mother on the phone,” and I was just crying and begging. I’ve always been experimenting. Cyndi Lauper’s videos—that’s what intrigued me.

And you definitely use your looks to get noticed.
I like the idea of doing something that everyone else is not. I get high off that. Just the idea that other people don’t have the balls to do something—that’s my thing.
 

Here's the rest of her pics:

And if you're still scratching your head about her performance last night at the GRAMMY Awards--you're not the only one. 

She talked to Ryan Seacrest today on his radio show and revealed a few things:

On attending the Grammys with a Pope look-alike: “The religious figure is there because he was called on by Roman’s mom to rehabilitate him.”

On her debut performance of “Roman Holiday”: “I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal, he’s not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he’s sure of himself and confident, but he’s never gonna change, he’s never gonna be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above.”

On why she chose “Roman Holiday” for the Grammys: “The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. They went crazy. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to stay true to what I’m doing.”

Feel like we're listening to a 12-year-old during a tea party with her imaginary friends.  But if that's what works...

Here's the audio in full:

Laura Govan Covers BE Magazine, Talks Being OVER Jackie Christie

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 11:46 AM PST

Laura Govan is still keeping her name in the mix these days.  The "LA Basketball Wife" is covering the new issue of BE Magazine.  And she's talking about her 23 carat rock and why she's not trying to be bothered with Jackie Christie's drama next season...

She's looking great and back with her man, Gilbert Arenas.  Mom of 4 Laura Govan chatted up BE Magazine and the full issue hits their site tomorrow on Valentine's Day.  Here's the highlights:

BE Magazine: There was a lot of drama surrounding you, Gloria, and Jackie Christie on last season’s show…what can we expect this season, and have you and Jackie BEen able to find common ground?
Laura Govan: I’m over it. Just because I don’t hang with you in real life or don’t care to be friends with a person doesn’t mean I hate them…

BE Magazine: How does it feel to BE in love? And does BEing in love feel BEtter with a 23 Carat Ring?
Laura Govan: Being in love feels better when you’re with the person you were meant to be with! Me & Gil have been together for over 10 years now. I was with him when he was broke & I had to pay for our meal.

BE Magazine: What’s BEen new with Laura since we’ve last seen you on the BBW LA Reunion a few months ago?
Laura Govan: Growth. Sometimes I’ll catch repeats of past episodes when I’m at home and I look at myself and say “who is this girl!?” (laughing)

VIDEO: Wendy Williams BREAKS DOWN During Show While Discussing Connection To Whitney Houston

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 10:30 AM PST

During perhaps the most emotional moment in her show's history, Wendy Williams broke down in tears while discussing Whitney Houston and one of the connections they share....substance abuse. Watch it inside.....

Earlier today, Wendy Williams gave an emotional call to arms for substance abusers and the people who love them.  She talked about her own struggles and how her years of cocaine abuse (she felt) connected her to Whitney Houston (who also had her struggles.  During the moment, she broke down sobbing while saying,

“I’m not proud of the girl I was,” Williams continued. “But without being that girl, I wouldn’t be the woman that i am today. So if it makes any sense to you, I have no regrets. There’s one thing throughout it all. My connection with Whitney…that I wished for us both to be really sober and really aware and I knew I would meet her one day…I always pictured that time to be in our late 50s, 60s with her being the number-one spokesperson for “Say no.” I just for some reason thought that that’s what she would do. It’s what I want to do. I just thought we would meet, and we would hug and we would be sober and older and…"

Here's the full segment below:

Despite that now infamous interview between Wendy & Whitney, Wendy said the two would see each other in passing a couple of times in different locations and Whitney still would say Hello.

Wendy also said she will not be following the story of Whitney's death from this point on via her show, and this day is the last time she will address it.  Definitely an emotional time.

Eva Marcille, Idris Elba & Solange Knowles Trek Through Fashion Week

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 10:01 AM PST

 

 
Eva Marcille, Selita Ebanks, and Solange Knowles are still holding down the front rows of NYC Fashion Week.  See their photos inside.....
For fashion week, Eva rocked a few looks...and looked fab in them all:

 
Is that a gun holster?  I would have picked a fancier belt but love this 70's sequin pantsuit.

 
And she later posed with Designer Cesar Galindo (who made this eye popping gown for her) at his Czar by Cesar Galindo show at Doyho Restaurant at Yotel.

 
And of course she sat front row.

 

And Solange, who has been cashing many-a-DJ'ing checks since Fashion Week started was spotted hanging out at Lincoln Center.  Loves the color combo and fit.
 
 
 
 
Designer Tracy Reese was all smiles as she prepared for her show.

 
And supermodel Selita Ebanks sat front row at Tracy Reese looking gorgeous in blue.  Blue is just all the rage this season...

 

 
And over at the Y-3 show, Anton Yelchin, Isabel Lucas and Idris Elba added some glamour to the front row.  Well....Idris added some much welcomed chocolatey fineness. 
 

 

 


 

Singers Ashanti and Michelle Williams sat front row at the Falguni & Shane Peacock Fall 2012 fashion show at The Studio.  And gold star for Michelle and her look.  I like this fun, frilly skirt for her.  Meanwhile, not feeling Ashanti's hair braid.  I's just confusing.  Sorry.
