| The Dream Brings His New Chick To The United Nations Posted: 11 Aug 2012 10:26 AM PDT
The Dream brought his new woman out for the big United Nations event last night. Their pic inside... After debuting his new "dope chick" last month at the Z107.9 Summer Jam in Cleveland, Mr. Nash has brought his girl out in front the cameras. At last night's Anderson Cooper-hosted World Humanitarian Day fancy event at the UN Headquarters in NYC, producer The Dream & his arm piece hit the red carpet before watching his client, Beyonce, perform live. Allegedly, Dream's girl is already his fiancee. But she was indeed hiding that ring finger last night. Hmmm....
The Randomness: 1. After Beyonce performed last night, she hit up lounge XVI to meet her husband. And she made the new "Girlfriend Confidential: NY" reality show cameras shut off before she entered. STORY |

Singer Trey Songz rolled through San Francisco's 106KMEL for a very candid interview that included everything from Lauren London and Ne-Yo to his favorite sexual positions. Deets inside........ As he promotes the release of Chapter V (August 21) Trey Songz was in the Bay Area chatting it up on 106KMEL where he did a candid and raw interview. To the delight of his fans, the sexy crooner revealed that in bed he is a "pleaser." And when asked his favorite position, he said it's whatever feels best to his partner. But he did add, "If you got a big ass I want to be behind." Typical. During the interview, it was mentioned that Ne-Yo had made some comments about him not reaching his potential...but Trey kept his calm. He said he'd like to talk to Ne-Yo about his negative comments but it won't be a discussion for the world to hear. When asked how many women he's been with at one time, he revealed that he's been in a situation with himself and three other women. He said more that three women is a crowd because each chick still needs to feel special. How gentlemen-like of him. And when it came to Lauren London, he revealed that they still talk and he's happy about her joining "The Game." In fact, she's even talked to him about her current relationship. He added that he has love for her and wants her to be with a good man who can do the things he can't. So he's admitting they tried the relationship thing and it just didn't work out? Check out the videos below. Trey on his favorite sexual position: Trey on his issues with Ne-Yo: Trey on a wild night with multiple chicks: Trey comes clean about Lauren London: |

The fam also got their faces painted and became Frankenstein, Spiderboy & Catwoman. Jenny tweeted:

Check out the first flicks from the performance inside... Beyonce, dressed in a long sleeved, figure hugging, stark white sparkling floor sweeping evening gown, put her chic foot forward as she filmed the World Humanitarian Day version of her Diane Warren-written track "I Was Here." The 30-year-old did the live taping at the General Assembly Hall, and posted a few sneak peeks to her Tumblr page:
Chick makes Humanitarianism look fabulous. As for how Queen Bey is doing her part, she's asking the millions in her BeyHive and beyond to do one small act of kindness for another person in celebration of World Humanitarian Day (August 19). From now until August 19th, you can sign up HERE and leave a message about how you plan to/have already helped another. On August 19th, her "I Was Here" video will be released. And so will the millions of messages that were left on the website. She is hoping the messages will reach 1 billion people on one day with one message of hope. As of Friday, over 60 million people have participated.

| WINNERS' CIRCLE: Team USA Track Relays & Wrestler Jordan Burroughs Cop Medals & Shatter Records! Posted: 10 Aug 2012 09:07 PM PDT More medals for Team USA's YBF Olympians! Check out the ladies and gents who joined the winners' circle on Day 14 in London....
Not only did the USA ladies of the 4x100 track relays win Gold today, they broke the Olympic record! They broke a long standing World Record held by Germany, finishing the race in an amazing 40.82 seconds. (L-r top pic) Allyson Felix, Carmelita Jeter, Bianca Knight and Tianna Madison-also won the first Women's 4x100 medal for USA in 27 years. Allyson Felix, who has already won an individual Gold this Olympics, said after the race:
Congrats to the track stars!
The guys held it down too by winning the Silver today in the 4x400 race. The 4x100 Men's USA team qualified for tomorrow's final as well. A little inspiration: Bryshon Nellum, second from left, was chosen to be the flag bearer for the USA delegation at Sunday's closing ceremonies after being voted to do so by the TEAM USA athletes. He was shot in BOTH legs just 4 years ago, and is back competing at the top of the game. "I'm humbled by this incredible privilege," Nellum said in a statement. "Four years ago, I wasn't sure I would ever run again, and now I'm leading Team USA into the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.
He's got America's only Gold medal in wrestling, and his body is pretty ridic too. 24-year-old Jordan Burroughs from Camden, NJ promised his Twitter followers he would be Tweeting a pic of his Gold medal before the final match even happened. And he did. And seeing that his Twitter handle is @AllISeeIsGold, he def has a lil confidence.
By the way, he only started wrestling his senior year of high school and had one of the worst records on his college team at Nebraska. After deciding he wanted to be more than just "another guy on the team," he worked his ass off the next 5 years....till winning his Gold medal today in the Freestyle. Congrats!
BONUS:
Dream Team baller Chris Paul Instagramed pics of his dinner with Ludacris and his girlfriend Eudoxie. Luda is in London shooting Fast & The Furious 6.
And the fellas snapped a pic in the locker room today after beating Argentina for a place in tomorrow night's Gold Medal game against Spain.

K. Michelle is taking her story of abuse and doing something positive with it. The "Love & Hip Hop" star is featured in a new graphic PSA for date abuse, and has even more words for Toya Wright who she feels is talking ish about her. Plus, see how actor John Witherspoon reacts to his Twitter death rumors..
And the K. Michelle vs. Toya beef continues. During an interview early this week with Talking With Tami, Toya responded to questions about K. Michelle's allegations that Memphitz Wright, Toya's hubby, abused her years ago. She said if her husband had done such things, he would be in jail right now. Plus she alleged K is a schizophrenic who doesn't have custody of her son:
That didn't sit too well with K. She clapped back after hearing about Toya's rant and Tweeted:
And then there's more. K deleted it, but the folks over at The Jasmine Brand captured it:
But she had nothing but nice words to say about Keyshia Cole. She had a bit of a beef with Keyshia while back when both their fan bases attacked each other after allegations were made that K. was jacking Keyshia's style. But K. Michelle tweeted yesterday:
And check out K. Michelle's newest cause--working with Saving Our Daughters. Her new campaign, where she is seen with a beat up face in a wedding dress, is about date abuse. K. Michelle says in the vid, "I am here to help take the power away from date abuse."
In other Twitter foolery...
Twitter tried to kill actor/comedia John Witherspoon--again. But this time, he took it in stride. eH posted the pic above of him looking alkive and well and chomping on some corn. He tweeted:
But not one to let free publicity go to waste, Pops promoted his cooking show with a link to his YouTube channel. He also said,
Ha! His next venture? He's still doing a bit of stand up around the country. Plus, he stars shooting his new TV show, "The First Family," which is about the “integration of a black president and his family in the White House.”
BONUS: Lies? This week, hype was built around an upcoming Aaliyah album done by Blackground Records-who claimed both Missy & Timbaland were involved. But Missy just tweeted she knows nothing of it:

When you mess with "The Kang" of ATL's family, expect an Instagram ass whoopin. T.I. went all the way in on some followers recently who had some smart remarks about his wife, Tiny. And he lit even further into a follower who propositioned his underage (step) daughter Zonnique for sex on the social networking site.
See how PaPa T.I.P. handled that ish inside...
Oh snap. Apparently T.I. is tolerating no disrespect on his (or Zonnique's) Instagram page. The rapper & reality star made an example out of a few of his 168K followers yesterday when he posted the above pic of him & Tiny for Throwback Thursday. A few followers gave backhanded compliments saying how pretty she USED to be, before she f'd her face up. Mr. Harris wasn't having it. And responded with threats. We put check marks by the commenters' words and then T.I.'s words to make it easier for the Instagram illiterate:
But that wasn't all. Tiny's daughter & T.I.'s stepdaughter Zonnique posted a pic on Instagram as she always does yesterday. And an inappropriate comment about the 16 year old--asking her "could he f**k"--set Papa TIP off. And we don't blame him. Peep what T.I. (troubleman31) had to say (Zonnique has already erased both the original comment and her stepdad's):
Feel like these are lines straight off the set of ATL 2. Sources: Instagram/RealkTalkNY |

Wiz had the girls screaming on Chelsea's show. He explained Wiz is just a nickname and his real name is Cameron. He named his new album ONIFC because, as he says, "he's always the only n*gga in first class." He also gushed about his dad who he's really close too, even though his parents have been split since he was younger. And Wiz credits his dad with introducing him to a studio and getting serious about his music. Sweet! |
