SAY WHAT NOW?: FORMER NBA Baller Stephon Marbury PAID "Personal Chef" $600K To Keep Mum About Their AFFAIR

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 08:32 AM PDT

 

Former NBA baller Stephon Marbury was exposed for cheating with his "personal chef" after his hush money checks stopped and she took him to court! Get the drama inside.....

Possible new "Basketball Wives" addition Tasha Marbury will have a really juicy "cheating" story to share with the cast as her hubby's cheating ways were exposed in court recently!

Back in 2006, during his glory days with the NY Knicks, Stephon carried on an affair with the family's chef, Thurayyah Mitchell, and offered her $900K to keep quiet about it.  During the time of the tryst, the NY Knicks and Isiah Thomas were dealing with their own sexual harassment scandal and Stephon diidn't want his personal life to add fuel to the fire.  And naturally...he didn't want to embarrass his wife AND children either!

Everything was cool....until the checks stopped in 2010.  Although Stephon had already paid Thurayyah $600,000, she wanted the rest of the money he promised.  The "dealings" were exposed yesterday after an arbitrator awarded Thurayyah $330,000 and the filings became public.

In the docs, Thurayyah says she and Stephon had sex 5 times and he “made her believe that ‘keeping him happy’ was a requirement of keeping her job.”

Messy....

BALL: T.I. & Tiny JET To D.C. For Homecoming At Howard U.

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 07:34 AM PDT

Everybody's rolling into D.C. this weekend for Howard University's Homecoming.  So T.I. & his ride-or-die wifey Tiny jetted into the nation's capital to party with the youngins.

 

Pics of the reality star couple making their "Ball"-erific arrival...

 

Carrying luggage that's more expensive than a person's wardrobe that's in it, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle looked...dare we say it...kinda cute for her flight.  She rocked a mint green & pink skull embellished fleece off-the-shoulder sweatsuit by Vintage Havana while her hubby kept it casual (with his sexy self) with his lime green studded MCM bag.

The twosome made their way into Washington DCA airport yesterday afternoon before hitting the party scene:

"Ball" rapper T.I. will be hosting a party at FUR nightclub tonight to close out the Homecoming festivities.

 

And he even performed in the pouring rain at YardFest yesterday once he hit the campus.

President Obama Shares PARENTING ADVICE He Gave Jay-Z, Says Beyonce & Michelle Are "Good Friends"

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 06:56 AM PDT

During an Ohio campaign stop, President Obama opened up about his budding friendship with music royalty Jay-Z and Beyonce and shared the fatherly advice he offered Hov.  Find out what he said inside....

 

While stomping through the swing state of Ohio, President Obama stopped by Cleveland's hip hop station Z107.9 to maybe sway a few listeners his way.

During the interview, he talked about becoming friends with The Carters (who raised $4M for his campaign last month). 

"I’ve gotten to know these guys over the first several years.  They’re good people. Beyonce could not be sweeter to Michelle and the girls. So they’re good friends. We talk about the same things I talk about with all my friends."

And the Prez is also a fan of the couple's music.  When asked about his fave Jay-Z song he said, “You know, I gotta say I go with some other stuff like ‘My 1st Song,’ which just kinda keeps me steady.  It’s a great song. It reminds you that you always have to stay hungry.”

He also offered Jay-Z some advice about being father to Blue Ivy.  "I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyonce out [with the baby], and not leaving it all with Beyonce and the mother-in-law."

And for voters who are still on the fence about who they'd like to run the country, President Obama drove home his accomplishments to the listeners,

"Think about all the things we've already gotten done.  We saved an auto industry, saved a million jobs throughout Ohio and Michigan, we've gotten health care reform, we have made sure that we expanded student loan programs and Pell Grant programs; so a lot of stuff has gotten done, but we have a lot more to do. My hope is we have a decisive victory in this election, that Republicans, who spent a lot of time worry about trying to beat me, will start focusing on trying to improve the country."

FRIDAY FOOLERY: Meek Mill's SISTER Blasts OFF On His BABY MOMMA, SAYS "His New B*tch Better Than U"

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:28 PM PDT

 
Meek Mill's sister doesn't like his baby momma and she made that painfully obvious via Instagram.  Get the deets on all the curse words thrown around inside......

Family dinner for Thanksgiving will be really interesting for Meek Mill since his sister is beefing with his baby momma.   In a series of profanity-laced Instagram posts, Meek's sister Nasheemah put the baby momma, Fahimah (pictured above), on blast.  She said (their spelling, not ours),

I'm not stopping FAHIMAH HIW U MESSED UP MY DAY BI**H WHEN U SAID UR SELF I MESSED UP UR LIFE ... LIFE n DAY DON'T ADD UP I DoONT C IT ON MY [crystal ball] ... FRAUDING A BI**H,"

And.....

"I never like your sneaky a*s u tried to start trouble between are family...ud done f**k up now. Oh yea his new bi**h better than u."

Then she slammed her again saying,

"[Fahima] been born wit ya bum a*s all u did was gossip n stalk any girl u thought Meek messed with. WELL HERE IS SUM ADVICE BI**H PUT DOWN THE PHONE N PICK DEM CLOTHES UP OFF THE FLOOR GET OFF THAT PISSY BED GET YA LIFE RIGHT."

So how did Fahimah respond?  She posted a few comebacks saying,

"Me and ya brother gon always be together its nothin u can tell me so all da stuff u told him tonight jus made us closer," Fahima wrote.

U been tryna f**k up our relationship since day one but its not gon work. When ppl spend too much time in other ppl problems its cuz they dont wana face their own!!!!"

Sigh.....all families have "issues" but do you need to air your dirty laundry on Instagram for the world to see?  By the way....Meek has stayed out of it so far...today.  But he's known for going in on his baby moms on random Twitter rants.

Brandy Chops It Up On "Watch What Happens Live," Says She Wishes More Folks In The Industry Would Come Out The Closet

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 03:08 PM PDT

Brandy's been on mad promo rounds in New York since her album hit stores this past Tuesday.  And last night, she made her way to Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" last night and dished on working with Frank Ocean....and why others need to come out in this industry.

Brandy hit the "WWHL" couch with Andy Cohen & "Real Housewives of Miami" star Lisa Hochstein. And when she played the "Plead The Fifth" game, she dished on working with Frank Ocean on her album (he wrote her "Scared of Beautiful" track).  And she explains that she wishes those who want to come out of the closet would follow his footsteps:

“I just knew he was a genius."

“To tell his truth, it’s so inspiring and I’m so happy for his success...People don’t understand or accept and that’s bad that they don’t do that,” she said. “I’m wishing they would just tell us.”

Check the video above.

The singer also rolled to the "Wendy Show" to perform "Wildest Dreams" (which she says was inspired by her boyfriend Ryan).  She rocked a colorful Stella McCartney look with the new Stella McCartney black & white booties.  Check out her performance and interview that aired today:

By the way--Brandy revealed that her fave date with Ryan is when he took her to the San Diego zoo!

T.I., Tiny, Rasheeda And MORE Party It Up With "WOMEN BEHIND THE MUSIC" In ATL

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:08 AM PDT

Reality tv couples T.I. & Tiny and Rasheeda & Kirk were among the musicians and artists who partied with ASCAP for the "Women Behind The Music" event last night.  See their pics and get deets inside.....


 

Last night, The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) closed out the 4th annual "ASCAP Presents… Women Behind the Music series" with a party at Vanquish in Atlanta. The series recognized women in the music community who don't often make the headlines like managers, attorneys, label executives, music publishers and songwriters. 

 

T.I. and Tiny were there to celebrate Tiny being honored as one of the women who help make the music we love!  Other honorees were B. Lawrence Watkins & Associates Attorney Bernie Lawrence-Watkins and songwriter and recording artist Crystal Nicole.  Tiny's outfit always looks like it has good intentions....but it's never...quite....right.

"LAHH ATL" stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost saluted women behind the scenes.  This chick may be rumored to be damn near 40 (and we're not saying that's true) but she always looks fresh faced and pretty.

We haven't seen Brandi Williams in a long time! You may remember her from the group Blaque.

V103 personality Egypt looked nice.

Bryan-Michael Cox took time away from the studio to celebrate the fab females.

He and Johnta Austin posed with friends at the party.

Tyra Banks HOSTS Chanel Iman, Estelle, Rosario Dawson And MORE At The Flawsome Ball In NYC

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:26 AM PDT

Model mogul Tyra Banks hosted "The Flawsome Ball," a swanky charity event to benefit The Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation, last night. See Rosario Dawson, Estelle, Chanel Iman and more celebs lend their support inside....
 

Last night, Tyra Banks hosted a grand charity event at Capitale in NYC to benefit The Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation.  The foundation seeks to 'empower girls and young women to live their dreams, discover new possibilities within themselves and take on life's challenges with fierce determination and drive.'

And she decided to bring out her most eye popping white striped sheer gown for the occasion, which raised money to complete the city-block long center that caters to the technological & emotional needs of young girls.

This is the 38-year-old model's first ball. She dubbed it flawsome -- flaws plus awesome -- because, "it's about things that are different: eyes that are too far apart, forehead that's too big, a little gap in your teeth, freckles all over your face, little dimple in your booty."

Banks told ABC News Radio on Thursday night's yellow carpet that, "those type of things that are not the typical norm are flawsome; are beautiful."

 

Tyra chose an unforgettable look which featured optical illusion style paneling and an origami-style fishtail hem for the evening.

Posing with fellow gorgeous model Chanel Iman, Tyra explained why she started the foundation saying, 'I launched the Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation with my own money because I feel I have a responsibility to lead by example and bring attention to the issues facing girls and young women."
 

"Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi lent her support.

Actress Rosario Dawson also attended The Flawsome Ball.

Tyra posed with Alexis Welch, Amar'e Stoudemire's fiancee.

Tyra's fellow ANTM judge and PR guru Kelly Cutrone posed on the yellow carpet along with new "ANTM" judge Rob Evans (whom she denies dating....but they look mad comfy.)

Barney's Creative Ambassador-at-Large, Simon Doonan, chatted it up with designer Jonathan Adler and Tyra.

Ty Ty posed with her mom, Carolyn, who clearly passed on her good looks to her fave gal. 

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Damaris Lewis chose an all-black look.

Jewelry designer and socialite Genevieve Jones attended.

Singer Estelle picked a sparkly blue gown for the ball.

Olympic champion Allyson Felix seems to be enjoying the NYC charity season as we've seen her out a lot.

Sessilee Lopez looked stunning as usual in her gold gown.

CNN's Soledad O'Brien supported Tyra's cause.

It's great to see Tyra inspiring so many girls.  Flawsome!

By the way, Drake performed "The Motto," "Take Care," & "Make Me Proud" for the ladies.
