Keke Palmer was spotted up in Vancouver, Canada yesterday shooting scenes for her new LIFETIME film based on a true story, Abducted: The Carlina White Story. See pics of Keke and co-stars Sherri Shepherd and Roger Cross inside. Plus, the erotic book Ms. Keke's been keeping her nose in to pass time...
We previously reported about 18-year-old YBF chick Keke Palmer starring as Carlina White, a young woman who was abducted as a baby from a New York hospital, and was reunited with her family after doing her own investigation.
The Nickelodeon star took some time away from recording her album to rock this new wig in Canada yesterday alongside her co-star Roger Cross. And she's been spending her downtime in between takes finishing the erotic & ridiculously popular novel Fifty Shades of Grey. She tweeted yesterday: "I cried last night finishing 'Fifty Shades of Grey', that ending tugged at my heart. I'm on the second book of the serious now!"
"The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd was also spotted on set. She's set to play Keke's birth mother.
Director Vondie Curtis-Hall is leading the cast. Loves KeKe! I'll be watching... Photos via FameFlynet Pictures |
| BODY FAB: Shemar Moore FLEXES His Pecs On The Beach In Miami Posted: 01 Jul 2012 09:18 AM PDT
Shemar Moore was spotted in Miami flexing his pecs yet again for adoring fans yesterday. And since we can appreciate fineness when we see it, no complaints here. See the pics inside....
Shemar Moore was spotted showing off his gorgeous tan and muscular body on Miami beach this weekend. He swam around the ocean and played with some kiddies on the beach.
The veteran "Criminal Minds" actor seems to be aging like a fine wine.
And, of course, he snapped pics with fans.
Looking sexy just taking a phone call. Sure these ladies weren't disappointed....

| FAMILY MOVIE TIME: Kim & Kanye's Date With Kourtney, Mason & Scott Posted: 01 Jul 2012 08:36 AM PDT
Kim & Kanye are taking full advantage of Mr. West being in L.A. this weekend. The twsome went to the movies with Kim's family--sister Kourtney, nephew Mason and Kourtney's man Scott Disick.
Pics of the big happy family inside....
Kim is making sure her family is Team Kanye--unlike how they were with her estranged husband (who she still isn't divorced from) Kris Humphries. So they all spent a little QT during a family outing at the movies yesterday. With he couple decked out in their usual head to toe neutrals:
Seems like Kourtney's been preggers for an eternity.
And after the family movie date, Kanye and his crew hit up Westfield Mall for a little shopping:
In the black Lambo Kim reportedly bought him for his birthday last month. We wouldn't be surprised if both Kim & Kanye hit up tonight's BET Awards, especially now that Beyonce & Jay-Z have reportedly been confirmed to attend in some fashion. It would be a tragedy if they missed more red carpets, flashing lights, fan worship and photo ops. Pics: Bauer Griffin |
| BABY BUMP: Tracee Ellis Ross' Little Sister Chudney Is Expecting! Posted: 01 Jul 2012 07:52 AM PDT
Diana Ross' youngest daughter is having a baby! Check out actress Tracee Ellis Ross' little sister Chudney and her bump on a babymoon in Hawaii inside.... 36-year-old Chudney Ross is pregnant! This will be her mom Diana's second grandchild, as the eldest Ross, Rhonda, has a tot named Kendrick. Last year, Chudney was busy opening her Santa Monica business Books & Cookies. She also has started doing some maternity modeling. She's in her third trimester and is due this September. So Evan Ross' big sis took a little vacay in Kauai this weekend to relax before the baby duty really starts. She tweeted the above pic saying:
She didn't confirm who the baby's daddy is yet, but we do know that as of last October, she was in a relationship with Joshua Faulkner (pictured below with her and brother Evan).
Congrats Chudney! Pic: Twitter |
| Rihanna Loses Her Grandmother, Performs At Sweden's Peace & Love Fest Posted: 01 Jul 2012 06:05 AM PDT
Rihanna has been very open about her Grandmother Clara/Dolly's health to her fans. And yesterday, Rihanna announced her "GranGranDolly" passed away from cancer. Understandably it hit Rihanna hard, and she barely made it through her Swedish performance Saturday night as she was reportedly completely intoxicated. And unaware fans popped off on Twitter(and walked out) .
Details inside...
Ri spent much of last night and this morning posting pics of her Grandmother and memories. She told her fans after she landed in Sweden yesterday (though it's not clear exactly when her grandmother died):
The mother of her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, sent her condolences with Ri saying Thank You:
And Chris himself tweeted his condolences saying, "Praying for family and the lost loved one. She was like my grandmother. Love you GRAN GRAN! RIP."
And Saturday night, during her headlining performance at Sweden's Peace & Love festival (pictured above), Rihanna reportedly couldn't keep it together. Her Swedish fans possibly were unaware of her grandmother's passing, and they didn't appreciate her being 45 minutes late (she was supposed to go on at midnight and everyone had to wait). And definitely didn't appreciate her being clearly high and intoxicated. Many walked out and flooded Twitter with comments that she shouldn't perform intoxicated, they couldn't understand a thing, and the show was a shamble.
It's a sad and hard time for her. So our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Pics: Fame/Twitter |
| Chris Brown Downs Entire Bottle Of ACE OF SPADES Solo At the Club....With His New Neck Tattoo Posted: 30 Jun 2012 08:50 PM PDT Downing an entire $2500 bottle of Ace of Spades by yourself is an easy task if you're Chris Brown. We've got an exclusive pic of the "Strip" singer engaging in a different type of bottle action than what went down a few weeks ago. Plus his huge new neck tattoo.... Friday night at Supper Club in L.A., Breezy blew off some steam--while likely also celebrating his upcoming Fortune album release--with a bottle of champagne. We're told by a partygoer that the shirtless singer/rapper inhaled the entire $2500 bottle by himself while his crew stay "posted up" next to him. The "Till I Die" rapper is also set to perform at Sunday night's 2012 BET Awards... We can also spot Breezy's brand new neck tattoo (that he copped right before hitting the club) in the pic above. His new ish is described by his tattoo artist (Peter Koskela) as "an indian chief transforming into a wolf."
Well that's interesting. And even though it looks painful as all hell, Chris slept through the whole thing according to his tattoo artist who posted pic proof:
And in case you missed it, Chris released a diss to Drake today while rapping on The Game's new remix to Chief Keef's 'I Don't Like." CB tweeted right after it dropped, "Won't be no back and forth shit."
A few of the bars:
And, of course, talked some ish about that Chris vs. Drake fight night at W.I.P. nightclub:
Sippin'...tattin'...dissin'....at the same damn time. Now that's talent. Pics via TheYBF.com/Peter's Twitter |
| Celebs Hit The 2012 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards Posted: 30 Jun 2012 01:37 PM PDT Music icons Pharrell Williams and Quincy Jones were given special honors by their peers last night at ASCAP's 25th Annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards in LA. Get the deets inside and see pics of Tyrese, Marsha Ambrosius and Miguel.
In Los Angeles yesterday, The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) hosted its 25th Annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The evening paid special tribute to Quincy Jones and Pharrell Williams (shown above with Chad Hugo), and honored the songwriters and publishers of the most performed ASCAP songs on the 2011 R&B/Hip-Hop, Rap and Gospel charts. Pioneering super-producer, songwriter and rapper Pharrell Williams was presented with ASCAP’s Golden Note Award, which is given to songwriters, composers and artists who have achieved extraordinary career milestones. He said, “It is an honor to receive The Golden Note Award. ASCAP has celebrated some of the greatest musicians of our time with this distinction, and I am humbled to be in their ranks. The work ASCAP has done – and continues to do – to protect and serve music creators is truly remarkable and it is a thrill to be recognized by such a respected institution.”
One of the evening's highlights was a special tribute to legendary music creator Quincy Jones, who was honored with ASCAP's Founders Award in recognition of his achievements as a producer, composer, entrepreneur and icon. Babyface presented the award as musical director Michael Beardon led a tribute performance featuring Marsha Ambrosius and Tyrese. The Songwriter of the Year award was presented to Canadian producer Noah "40" Shebib, who penned four of the most performed songs of the past year. 40 was honored for “Fall for Your Type” (by Jamie Foxx featuring Drake), “Headlines” (by Drake), “I'm On One” (by DJ Khaled featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne) and “Marvin's Room” (by Drake). "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes earned writers Jean-Baptiste Kouame II and Wesley Pentz the Top Rap Song award and Kirk Franklin's "I Smile" written by James “Jimmy Jam” Harris and Terry Steven Lewis was named Top Gospel Song.

Check out what Beyonce & Solange, LeBron & Savannah, Tyra Banks, reality stars and more were up to this week...

| MUSIC FAB: Kelly Rowland's "Ice" SNIPPET + Brianna Perry's New "Back Der" CLIP Posted: 30 Jun 2012 10:05 AM PDT
Kelly Rowland and Lil' Wayne have teamed up again for a track called "Ice" which is Kelly's latest. Listen to a snippet inside and see the new "Back Der" video from Miami's hottest upcoming rapper, Brianna Perry. Kelly Rowland has teamed up with Lil Wayne again hoping to recreate the magic of "Motivation." Her next offering is a sliver of “Ice,” the first single from her fourth solo album, due later this year. The track was written by Sean Garrett and Lil Wayne will appear on the full version. Listen to Kelly's "Ice" here (Weezy will appear on the full version):
In other new music.....
Poe Boy Music Group artist Brianna Perry seems to be the music industry's next big thing. With cute 'round the way girl looks and street swag, Brianna has been impressing folks in the rap game (her "Marilyn Monroe" track had folks talking--good and bad) who've compared her grit and grime to Foxy Brown and MC Lyte. So now Trina has someone hot on her heels who may be able to lay claim to the title of Miami's rap queen. In her Twenty 40-directed clip for "Back Der" she dances to a choreographed performance in a parking lot mixed with her live show footage. "Back Der" appears on her 2011 mixtape, Face Off. Watch Brianna's video here: You feelin' her? |
