Rihanna has opened up her own personal vault of vacay pics from her recent trip to Hawaii.  She took a month long vacay and spent much of it on the islands....and the pics are her usual racy, fun and eye-grabbing ish.

 

Check out our fave pics from the stash inside...

When the 24-year-old pop star finally indulged in a month long vacay back in January after a grueling world tour (and party) schedule, she let out all that pent up cabin-fever energy in the way only Ri Ri can. 

She hit up Hawaii for over a week and let her hair...and her top...down.  From water boarding & swimming to greasing up her bod while sun bathing to swimming topless under waterfalls and some serious drinks, looks like it was a vacay from heaven.  The "Cake" singer posted 169 personal vacay pics on her Facebook page...and we've picked out fave few.  Topless, wild, fun & free...with a killer bod to boot:

Tiki Barber & Fiance Traci Lynn Johnson PRESS PAUSE On Wedding Plans + Halle Berry REVEALS Why She Is Marrying Again

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 10:08 AM PDT

 

Former NFL star Tiki Barber has had to postpone his wedding while he finalizes his divorce from his first wife Ginny. Get the deets inside and find out what Halle Berry said about marrying again.

 

It looks like Tiki Barber and twenty something fiance Traci Lynn Johnson won't make it down the aisle on May 12 as planned because Tiki will still be married to former ex-wife Ginny Cha!  (That's what his cheatin' ass gets...)

Though they planned to wed at the home of Eugene Remm, the owner of several New York clubs, in the upscale Sag Harbor, New York, the dragging on of the divorce (and fight over child support) has pushed the wedding back to the summer. 

Ginny asked for $150,000/month in child support, but she won't likely get anywhere near that number as Tiki is still unemployed and is not exactly rolling in the dough.  Sigh.....

Not sure why Traci is rushing down the aisle with a man who left his pregnant wife....but good luck with that.

 

And in other wedding news....

Halle Berry once swore off marriage.....until she met Olivier Martinez!

During a recent interview with Extra!, she talked about the nuptials saying, I swore it off, right? Never say never, people.’

This will be Halle's third marriage and she and Olivier have been dating for three years.  Can't deny love!

 

Watch Halle talk about the decision to get married below:

LaLa Anthony His The Streets With Anna Wintour, Po & Dice Talk "Gold Star Lesbians," Masturbation & Relationships

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 08:51 AM PDT

LaLa Anthony made her way to Madison Square Garden Sunday to cheer on her hubby Carmelo as the Knicks took on the Heat.  And she ran into VOGUE editor Anna Wintour while entering.

 

Pics inside, plus La's friend & cousin Po & Dice dishing on their lesbian relationships on The Breakfast Club...

In the neon yellow version of the Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps (Beyonce wore the hot pink version to the same game), LaLa Anthony was spotted entering MSG and spending the afternoon cheering on her hubby.  She rocked grey cropped pants and a matching neon yellow sheer shirt with a black blazer for the occasion.  I'm sure Ms. Wintour was thinking lots of things in her head about this outfit....

And yesterday, hot pink shades wearing La & her son Kiyan were spotted out and about running errands.  How cute is he!

 

Meanwhile, "LaLa's Full Court Life" co-star Po was spotted out and abut in NYC yesterday afternoon running errands with a friend:

She has a cute style that fits her.

LaLa's "Full Court Life" co-stars, cousin Dice & good friend Po, hit up The Breakfast Club on Power 105 this morning.  And the two ladies revealed why they decided to be so open about their sexuality and being lesbians.  Mainly because they know it is such a taboo thing in our communities and many young girls and boys have thanked them for being examples of how to come out to their own circles and handle bullying.

Dice kept it funny talking about how she's willing to try anything...and knows how to run game and tell women what they want to hear.

Po, who lives in L.A. and is working on her music career, revealed she is keeping her privates closed and is sticking to masturbation as of now (while Dice said she definitely get more chicks being on the show.)  And she broke up with her girlfriend a while ago.

And if you're wondering, the two are not "gold star lesbians," as DJ Envy named them.  They have had sex with men before.  And didn't deal with girls until college and later.  Po reiterated she always knew who she was and never thought being gay was "wrong."

Tami Roman COVERS Yandy Smith's "EVERYTHING GIRLS LOVE" Magazine

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 07:57 AM PDT

 

"Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman COVERS the latest issue of "Love & Hip Hop" star Yandy Smith's "Everything Girls Love" magazine. Tami reveals her thoughts about the future of reality tv, her bad financial decisions, and the abuse she suffered growing up.  Deets inside.....

 

In the latest issue of "Everything Girls Love" magazine, "BBW" star Tami Roman dished on some bad financial decisions she made early on and being abused as a child.   It was a very revealing chat for the actress who turns 41-years-old today. Here are the highlights of the interview done by Yandy herself:

On bad financial decisions:

"I picked up my family and moved to NJ because I was going to do a show with BET and VH1 called "Wifey."  The contract fell through and the show did not air.  So, the fact that I was living near NY and there's really no industry there, my family and I fell on hardship.  I'm a hustler, so I am never going to count myself out.  I went out and got a job in corporate America working for a very large financial firm and I was doing well for myself."

On revealing that she was being sexually abused:

"This season I wanted to know what can Tami personally bring and what can people identify with and possibly learn from.  I felt like there are so many women who have gone through something similar and not been able to express themselves.  I've gotten so many responses and mails about it."

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 07:22 AM PDT

Uncle Jay & Auntie Bey brought nephew Julez to the Nets vs. Heat game last night.  Pics inside of the trio (plus Julez's dad Daniel, Sr.) laughing it up courtside...

In a multi-colored silk crepe Thakoon dress and black mesh, studded Louboutin Bourriche booties & fave Linda Farrow/The Row shades, Beyonce helped her hubby cheer on his Nets, despite them losing to the Miami Heat.  But something good did come of it.  Before LeBron James walked off the court, he took off his sweaty sneakers and put them in Julez's lap.  Sweet!

Yeah Julez...we're trying to figure out why your auntie is rocking a hair net over that bun as well.  Beyonce kept it lady like covering her mini dress-baring legs with a shirt.

Looking fab and happy.  Before she headed to Newark's Prudential Center to catch this game, Mama Bey was spotted taking baby Blue for a walk in Central Park to enjoy the unusual summer-like day.  Cute!

The Dream Flaunts His New Blonde Look

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 06:45 AM PDT

After losing a basketball bet, hitmaker The Dream had to give himself a blonde makeover. Check out what Mr. Nash is flaunting inside...

It's a blonde beard and 'stache for Terius Nash.  No...he's not gearing up for an attention craving cosmetic new look much like his ex-wife Christina Milian did with that platinum bleached blonde look a while back.  He went blonde all because of a bet.  His home team the Hawks lost to the Raptors on Sunday.  So this was the result.  Dream tweeted yesterday:

Losing a bet is as wack as this blonde beard. Thanks Atlanta Hawks

He also tweeted he's now looking for black dye.  Good.  Because dude looks every bit like a Honey flavored Teddy Graham right about now.

And apparently he's real confident in his hair maintenance skills now as he tweeted his other ex-wife, Nivea, about how he just did their daughter's hair himself:

@thisisNIVEA. Just got finish [Washing], conditionong, platting, and flat ironong your daughters Hair. Damn I'm so Dope! Lol

Oh...

Dream is gearing up to drop his upcoming album, The Love; IV (Diary of A Madman) soon.

Taraji P. Henson Goes FLORAL For "Think Like A Man" NYC Promo

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 04:45 PM PDT

Taraji P. Henson was spotted leaving the Sirius/XM offices in Manhattan after her interviews with "Sway In The Morning" and Wendy Williams today.

 

Check out what she says about her teen son who is headed off to college soon, plus if co-star Michael Ealy is a good kisser, inside...

In a sleeveless floral watercolor dress to brave the NYC heatwave, Taraji made her way around the city to do tons of promo for her brand new Think Like A Man film.

She kicked things off with Gayle King this morning on CBS' "This Morning," then hit up the live Wendy Williams show, headed to Shade 45 to kick it with Sway & Devi Dev and headed to NBC's "New York Live" this afternoon.

The 41-year-old YBF chick stopped to snap a few pics with fans. 

She revealed on "Wendy" today that her teen son, Marcel--who she says looks identical to his father--is headed to college next year.  And he'll likely be headed to NYC for school.  She revealed she became pregnant with Marcel while she was in her junior year of college after knowing her then-boyfriend for 8 years. She still graduated (from Howard University) and Marcel's father is now deceased.

On whether or not she spoils Marcel, she says she definitely makes him earn his perks.  She did cop him a Honda Civic hybrid recently though.  And if you want to know if her so-star Michael Ealy is a good kisser--she says he indeed is.  No surprise there.

Taraji also revealed she almost missed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button audition because she was hosting a garage sale.  Her agent told her to drop everything and had to make her go.  She found out she got the role the following day.

Check out video below of Taraji giving her opinion of the Trayvon Martin case on CBS "This Morning" below:

 

Think Like A Man opens this Friday, 4/20.

NEW MUSIC: Jaden Smith's "Flame (Just Cuz)" + Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" Vid Sneak Peek

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 03:30 PM PDT

 

Jaden Smith has released a new track. Listen to "Flame (Just Cuz)" inside....

Jaden Smith, the talented son of Jada (who posted this song on her Facebook page today) and Will Smith has dropped a new track called "Flame (Just Cuz)."

Maybe the song will appear on the After Earth soundtrack (the movie he's shooting with his Dad)?

 

 

In other music news:

 

Rihanna has released visual sneak peek for her new "Where Have You Been" video. The black and white still image portrays her as a majestic creature in a knit bikini top and metallic skirt.

The dance track, which is her newest single off her Talk That Talk album, is produced by Dr. Luke and Calvin Harris.

And while Rihanna is always featured on the cover of fashion magazines, the chick who started it all, singer Jody Watley, recently spoke out about that. In an article with EBONY.com, Jody said,

"When I see Rihanna and the younger girls now, I feel proud. Because whether they know it or not, that was a door that I helped to open. No Black women were in fashion magazines. And the first time I did Harper’s Bazaar, the label didn’t want to send me to New York to do it because they didn’t see what being in a fashion magazine had to do with selling records. I flew myself to New York to do Harper’s Bazaar the first time I did it. Because I knew."

SPOTTED: Tyrese Making Nice With A Blonde Outside The Club

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 02:42 PM PDT

Tyrese Gibson was spotted chatting up a blonde from his SUV as he was spotted leaving Simply Jess' birthday party at Cameo Nightclub in Miami last night.

 

Check the pics inside of what looks like mackin' in action....

After a long night of partying, the 'Fast Five' actor and R&B singer was spotted discreetly talking to a party goer outside of Cameo last night.  And it seems he didn't want the convo to end there as his homie brought her over to Black Ty's awaiting SUV as he was leaving.   And the sexy Ty stopped his car to chat it up:

Looks like she was either offering up a handshake...or her number.  Either one.

Wonder how that worked out for him....

Tyrese is rumored to be in pre-production of a Fast & The Furious 6 movie as he reprises his role as Roman Pearce.  The usual cast is reportedly set to return and filming may start as early as this May.  Can't wait!

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 01:50 PM PDT

Trina Braxton is a free woman (almost) and making the most of her new single status by nabbing a Ken-like cutie for her new video for her single "Party Or Go Home."

 

We've got the first look at the pretty reality star's new video inside...

Trina tapped photgrapher Derek Blanks to shoot her new music video yesterday in Atlanta at Tim Barrett Designs.  And she made sure to make an interesting choice for her leading male.  The dark blonde modelesque guy was Trina's steamy partner in her handcuffs and jail cell scene.  Not surprised by that one:

Chick loves her dramatic makeup doesn't she?  She rocked neon extra sharp nails and short cutoffs and a plaid button down for her colorful look.

Trina posed it up with the production crew, and even had her sisters Towanda & Traci on hand for moral support.

Not mad.  Gabe who?

TUPAC BACK At Coachella With Snoop, Dr. Dre, Wiz, 50 Cent, Eminem & The Weeknd + Nas' "Behind The Music" SNEAK PEEK

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 12:30 PM PDT

Coachella Day 3 wrapped up with Snoop and all his friends hitting the stage...with an eerily realistic hologram of Tupac Shakur performing as well.  And yes, his mom approved.

 

Pics and video inside, plus a sneak peak at Mr. Nas' upcoming VH1 "Behind the Music"...

Hologram creator Nick Smith recently dished on bringing the iconic rapper back to life for yesterday's Snoop & Dr. Dre set. The Tupac image, which was all Dr. Dre's idea, was created in the very realistic likeness of the late rapper as he perormed his tracks "Hail Mary" and "2 of Americaz Most Wanted."


 

Smith wasn't allowed to discuss all the details of the creation of the Hologram (the image and movements were an original creation --not parts of an old concert), but MTV reports:

Smith said he wasn't allowed to talk about the creative aspects of the production — including how the hologram was able to seemingly perform the set in synch with Snoop and whether all the vocals were 'Pac's — but he did say that his company has the ability to recreate long-dead figures and visually recreate them in the studio. "You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it," he said.

The shirtless Timbaland-wearing Tupac hologram (which cost anywhere from 100K-400K) opened up alongside Snoop & Dre (who have been working together for 2 decades now) saying "What's Up Coachella?!"

Tupac's mom, Afeni Shakur, told media she was "thrilled" by the hologram performance.  She said it was amazing to see, but bittersweet as well.

Nate Dogg was orignally scheduled to perform in Hologram form as well, but the idea was scrapped last minute and replaced with a video tribute.

50 Cent also hit the stage with Snoop.

They rocked out with “What Up Gangsta” with Tony Yayo by his side, swaggering into and “P.I.M.P.” with Snoop, and closed with “In Da Club.”

And, of course, Wiz Khalifa hit the stage with Uncle Snoop to perform a couple tracks and share some weed.

Here's video of Tupac and Snoop performing together:

Eminem hit the stage as well with his longtime collaborator Dr. Dre.

 

And if you're a fan of The Weeknd, the crooner hit the stage for his own hour long set--including his track with Drake called "Crew Luv":

 

In other rap news, Nas is about to premiere his VH1 "Behind The Music" episode on  Wednesday at 9p EST . Check out the sneak peek below:

NFLer Antonio Cromartie Welcomes 10th CHILD, His 8 Baby Mamas Want A Reality Show...TOGETHER!

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 11:13 AM PDT

*UPDATED* Where do we start with the latest foolywangery of NFL baller Antonio Cromartie?  For starters...the New York Jet baller just welcomed his 10th child, Jagger, recently.  Yes....10th.  This is his and his (second) wife's second child.  Deets inside on the reality show all eight of his baby mamas want to nab, plus what they say about how he's taking care of his umpteen kids....

Remember Terricka Cason (pictured above) from that E! reality show "Candy Girls" about video chicks/groupies?  She was a single mother at the time, but has since "gotten her come-up" and has become the wife of the multi-state woman fertilizer Antonio Cromartie.  They now have 2 kids together (in addition to Terricka's oldest), a daughter named Jurzie (sigh) (pictured below) & their new son Jagger.

28-year-old Antonio now has 10 kids total (including four 3-year-olds) with 8 women in 6 different states: California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey.  Christmas with all the half-siblings is going to get real interesting.

Before we continue, yes, this is the same Antonio who had mad difficulty remembering all his kids' names (even forgot one) in an HBO Sports special back in 2010:

He later claimed the producers of the show made him "deliberately pause" in between each child as he listed the names.  Anywho...

Antonio just signed a new $35 million contract with the Jets, and reportedly pays each of his baby mamas $3500 a month, except for one.  And his oldest chid is only 7.

Apparently that $58,000+ yearly child support aint cuttin' it for these chicks, because most (if not all) have stated they are interested in shooting a reality show about their "modern family."  Why?  Because they believe we all need to know they are not catty and actually do get along and they have strong friendships where they help each other through hardships of the situation.  What is this...a "Sister Wives" spinoff to include baby mamas or some ish?

The NY Post reports:

The single women can use the extra money to help raise their kids, but they also think it’s important “to document their journey,” the source said. “They want Antonio’s support.”

His fifth baby mama, an L.A. hotel employee named Ryan Ross, has his 4-year-old son Tyler Jae and said:

“We’re not catty women. We have a close, tight-knit friendship and understand what each other’s going through. We reach out to share news about the kids, to talk, to vent,” she said.

As for Cromartie, she said, “We co-exist for the sake of my son.”

Many of the baby mamas run into each other at Anotnio's house when they bring their kids over for daddy visits.  But not all think he's a supberb daddy, especially not his first baby mama Rosemita.

“He’s supposedly a role model, but he’s not doing what he should be doing as a father, or as a man,” said mom Rosemita Pierre, of Tallahassee, Fla.

Cromartie defies a court order that allows her to speak with her son three times a week, she charged.

“They don’t answer the phone,” said Pierre, who’s called the cops in Randolph, NJ, to knock on Cromartie’s door. “It’s a hurtful situation — like he’s trying to erase me.”

Well...

By the way, Antonio almost married another one of his baby mamas, a corporate lawyer named Rhonda Patterson who is based in L.A., but he called it off a week before the nuptials.  Likely because he had gotten a few other chicks pregnant at the same time Patterson was.

Here's to hoping this foolery doesn't find its way to TV.  And congrats to the couple on their second child together.

*UPDATE* Terricka tweeted today that she and Antonio have been married for 4 years and their son, Jagger, is almost 1 now.  She also says that she is Antonio's first and only wife, disputing the NY Post report that this is his second marriage.

BONUS: A few of the baby mamas:

No. 6, Rhonda Lynn Patterson
