Fantasia SELLING North Carolina Mansion For $800K...At A Half Million Dollar Loss

Posted: 07 Apr 2012 07:00 AM PDT

R&B singer Fantasia is downsizing in 2012 as she's put her North Carolina mansion on the market for $800K.  Which means she's in for a half a million dollar loss.  Get the deets inside....

 

Remember the home that Fantasia nearly lost to foreclosure?  She's decided to sell it for $500K less than what she paid for it!  According to TMZ, The Charlotte, NC mansion she bought for $1.3M, could now be yours for $800K.

But why is she selling the 5-bedroom, 38,768 sq. ft. mansion?  Fanny is likely trying to get those finances together now that she has another mouth to feed.  And probably wants to say good riddance to all the bad memories that house holds.  Sigh....

 

Nicki Minaj Shuts Down Times Square For "Secret" NOKIA Lumia 900 Concert, Drops "Beez In The Trap" Video

Posted: 06 Apr 2012 09:51 PM PDT

Nicki Minaj ended her very busy Good Friday with a "secret" concert at Times Square...all to help Nokia celebrate their official launch of its Lumia 9000 phone.  But it wasn't too much of a secret as tens of thousands of fans showed up and shut down the area.

 

Pics inside, plus her brand new "Beez In The Trap" video ....

Nokia teamed up with the tiger tights wearing Nicki Minaj to bring a building in Times Square alive and create one of the biggest LED displays ever seen to celebrate the launch of the Windows Phone-based Nokia Lumia 900 (available exclusively in North America from AT&T on April 8).

Nicki belted out a medley of her tracks while she simultaneously shot her "Starships Remix" video.  Footage from this concert will serve as Nokia's exclusive remix to the "Starships" video.

And over at the afterparty:

Nicki said about the big concert:

“To see the idea on paper was amazing but to see it for real blew me away. It brought Times Square to a standstill. The absolute bonus for me is that my fans, who have been so loyal to me, are now part of the video for the Starships Nokia remix."

“Performing in my home town of NYC the same week as the release of my new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is amazing and it really is a dream come true.”

Pics of the Roman Reloaded hawking chick arriving back to her hotel as she signed autographs for fans:

I see this lacefront and these outfits just aren't going to get any better.  Oh wells.  I'm sure her Barbz & Kenz appreciate it...

 

And Nicki's brand new video for her "Beez In The Trap" single ft. 2 Chainz (from her new Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded LP) is here.  The visuals were shot in Miami by director Benny Boom:

You feelin' it?

BONUS: Rah Digga just dropped a diss track called "The N*gga In Me" against Tyler The Creator and Fat Trel of Odd Future.  It's all a sport to her, but she wanted to send the boys a message about respect after they've dissed her and MC Lyte several times on wax.  She put out a statement saying:

"I didn't make this record for press purposes or for hype cuz that's not my thing. I got wind of various artists referencin me in a negative fashion. They poked fun at me I'm just pokin back. Its all sport to me. I wish em all the best, they just need to understand who is off limits. MC Lyte is off limits. Rah Digga is off limits. Respect those who kept hip hop raw so that we could still have a culture or get a first hand lesson in a lyrical ass whoopin. Love is love." - Rah Digga

Tyler Perry Gifts Bentleys To Oprah & Gayle+Alicia Keys Flosses In Her Candy Apple Red Lotus

Posted: 06 Apr 2012 03:17 PM PDT

Everybody gets a Bentley!  Gayle King just dished on the Bentleys that Tyler Perry gave to her and Oprah Winfrey as gifts last year.   Find out what she said inside and get deets on Alicia Keys new whip.

 

During a recent conversation, Gayle King opened up about the Bentley that Tyler Perry gave her last summer.  She says it all started when he presented Oprah Winfrey with a Bentley (likely in return for the major impact Oprah has had on his life), and Gayle called Tyler to tell him how sweet she thought the jesture was.

 “I called Tyler and told him how amazing that was because nobody ever does anything like that for her, on such a grand scale,” King said. “And so, the next day when I got home, there was a Bentley in my driveway!”

Must be real nice.  *scouting for Tyler's number my damn self*

RUN IT: Amber Rose VS. Rihanna In JOYRICH

Posted: 06 Apr 2012 10:43 AM PDT

Both Amber Rose & Rihanna seem to be fans of the fun fashion company JOYRICH.  Both recently rocked the bone-ridden pants from the company's newest collection, and both chicks rocked the look totally differently.

 

Decide who rocked it best inside...

This morning in NYC, Amber Rose was spotted leaving her hotel, Trump Soho (the same hotel Kim K. is coincidentally staying in right now as well), in a matchy look.  The 29-year-old model/singer rocked JOYRICH's Spring/Summer 2012 “Bone Collection” sweat pant and paired  them with the matching Bone Collection jacket.  She scrunched up the pants and rocked her black studded Louboutin pumps to dress up the look.  And threw on a pair of diamond stud earrings.

But pop diva Rihanna was first to rock JOYRICH's Bone Collection pants this past February while in London.  The 24-year-old paired her pants with black Adidas sneakers, a black & white tee, and a leather jacket to keep the look casual. And she topped it off with a bright red baseball cap and oversized silver hoops.

So...

WHO RAN IT?!
