TOAST IT UP: Happy 26th BIRTHDAY Drake!

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 09:02 AM PDT

Rapper Drake celebrates his 26th birthday today.  Toast the rapper inside....

 

Multi-talented Rapper Drake, whose surprise presence at a concert can cause pandemonium, turns 26-years old today.  

The sometimes sensitive, sometimes gritty rapper has carved a niche for himself with his emo rhymes and ability to still run with a street crew. And of course, he keeps every stripper on every pole & video vixen in ever thong wanting more as dude keeps him a "girlfriend."

But we can't help but love him for that sensitive side.

Celebrate Drake's birthday in the gallery.....

Still Celebrating...Happy 26th Birthday Drake!

AGAIN??? Bobby Brown BUSTED For DUI In L.A.

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 07:51 AM PDT

Troubled R&B legend Bobby Brown was busted for DUI in LA last night. Get the deets on the bust inside.....

Singer Bobby Brown was arrested for DUI in LA this morning, around 1AM, after he failed a field sobriety test.  TMZ reports that Bobby was driving erratically down Ventura Boulevard and Corbin Avenue.  The smell of alcohol wa sloud and clear once officers approached his car.  

When Bobby got out of the car...his sobriety test didn't go so well.  This is his second DUI this year and comes after he did a short stint in rehab in August.

THIS is why you shouldn't leave rehab early just to continue on with your tour.  We hope he pulls it together.....

 

 

Oprah Winfrey's Dad Vernon ACCUSED Of CHEATING And THREATENING His ESTRANGED Wife + Magic Johnson Likes His Liquorice SOFT -- Or YOU'RE FIRED!

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 07:29 AM PDT

In the midst of a nasty divorce, Vernon Winfrey, the father of mogul Oprah Winfrey, is accused of being an adulterer and threatening to shoot his estranged wife.  Get all the drama inside and find out how being late with Magic Johnson's snacks could get you fired....

 

Oprah Winfrey should send Iyanla Vanzant down to East Nashville, Tennessee to fix up the life of her 79-year-old father, who's embroiled in a nasty divorce.

Shortly after Vernon filed papers and decided to leave his wife of 12-years, Barbara, in June, she filed a counterclaim with all sorts of accusations ranging from adultery to his threatening to shoot her with a gun.  

She also claims that Vernon and daughter Oprah are trying to forced her out of the $1.5M mansion she and Vernon shared and that Oprah is cutting her out of the storefront barbershop she bought for her father.

Barbara said, "He believes what he's told. His daughter doesn't care about the community. His daughter doesn't care about the barbershop. But I do,’

But an Oprah spokesperson told WSMV ‘Oprah purchased the property that was in foreclosure. Vernon Winfrey has been a fixture in the community for decades and will continue to manage the business on a day-to-day basis.’

For his part, Vernon says Barbara is 'guilty of inappropriate marital conduct' and cited irreconcilable differences as his reason for splitting.

 

And in other entertainment news....

 

 

Being late on the job could get you fired when it comes to Magic Johnson. 45-year-old Lanita Thomas, a former flight attendant on his private jet, said the mogul fired her for being 15 minutes late to work....but she claims she was only late because she was picking up his specialty turkey meats.

Apparently, Magic is really particular about his snacks and Lanita claims she had to "regularly squeeze his red vines to make sure they were soft" (red vines are liquorice).

Now Lanita is suing Magic saying he owes her for overtime. And she believes he fired her to hire a younger flight attendant to service him in the air.  No word on how much she wants.....

Stacey Dash Shows The World She Voted Early For Mitt Romney, Vivica Fox Rips Her A New One

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 01:08 AM PDT

Stacey Dash is a woman of her word.  She said she's all about Mitt Romney in 2012...and she just showed the world how she voted for him early.  Peep her pics inside...

The former "Single Ladies" star, Stacey Dash, hit up her local polling place in Cali yesterday to drop her ballot early.  She tweeted pics of her exercising her right to vote...and tweeted "That's Right!" to a fan who said "Romney 2012!"

Meanwhile, fellow 40-something actress in Hollywood, Vivica Fox, had a few words for Ms. Dash.  And they were mainly about that random red swimsuit Stacey rocked during her "coming out party" for Romney.  Viv told The Grio this week while doing promo for her Lifetime show:

“I don’t know why she [Stacey Dash] had to do a photo shoot in a Baywatch red swimsuit with the boobs and the whole flag behind her.  And she doesn’t have a job or something to promote right now. I just didn’t get it.

Bloop.  And before you go saying Viv doesn't have a job either--she actually has two right now.  She's the host of Lifetime's "Prank My Mom" and also stars in the upcoming sitcom "Mr. Box Office." 

Viv continued:

"She’s entitled to her own opinion but it was just surprising that first of all she was a Republican, and that she did it the way that she did. Most politicians when you support them, you try to support them with class, you don’t need to do a swimsuit shoot.”

Like we said before, you can endorse whomever you'd like.  But don't be surprised if no one takes you seriously when you're looking like an extra from 'Baywatch' while making your announcement...with a photoshoot.  Just sayin....

 

Naomie Harris GOES SHEER GLAM For London "Skyfall" Premiere, Reveals Why IDRIS ELBA May Be The Next JAMES BOND!

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 03:04 PM PDT

Bond "woman" Naomie Harris talked about her role in the upcoming Skyfall flick to our friends over at Huffington Post Black Voices.  And she revealed how she crafted her gun-happy character and why soon there will likely be a black James Bond! Deets inside.....

 

Naomie Harris, shown above arriving at the Royal world premiere Skyfall at the Royal Albert Hall in London today, turned heads and raised eyebrows in a sheer & corseted Marios Schwab Spring 2012 gown.  Her gown, with a blue & silver sequined bodice, was paired with black heels and Jessica McCormack’s earrings.

While on her promo tour, Naomie, who plays "Miss Moneypenny", chatted with the Huff Post where she hinted that one day there could be a black James Bond -- and Mr. Idris Elba would be the perfect choice. Here are the highlights:

While reading the script, did you find yourself going back to take any notes from previous Bond girls?

No, in fact I really tried to do the opposite. I really felt like I didn’t want to be straight jacketed by knowing too much about what was done in the past. I didn’t want to try and make my character similar to someone in the past. I was specifically asked by the producers and director to come in and add a modern character. And that was really important to me to make her original.

How would you describe your character, Eve, as the latest Bond Girl?

She’s very independent, very playful. And what’s really exciting for me about the role is that you see her going toe to toe with Bond. She’s out in the field as a field agent, sees herself just as capable as him firing sniper rifles, Walther MPKs, and just having a blast at the beginning of the movie. Things go a bit wrong and she begins to question whether or not she’s right for the field work.

In recent years there’s been talks of the possibility of fans seeing a black James Bond at some point. Do you have any personal favorites that you would consider for the role?

I didn’t realize that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris [Elba] and he said that he met Barbara Broccoli [James Bond producer] and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a black James Bond. And I would have to vote for Idris because I just finished working with him and he’s a great guy. [Laughs]

He’s also a fellow London native, as well.

That’s right. I didn’t even realize that until I started to work with him. I thought he was an American based on his role on “The Wire.” [Laughs]

Check out the full interview over at Huff Post.

Skyfall hits theaters November 9th.  Will you be watching?

Bobbi Kris, Nick Gordon, Pat & Cissy Houston In NYC For "The Houstons: On Our Own" Launch Party + The Fam Rolls To "The View"

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 11:26 AM PDT

The Houston family was in NYC last night in support of their reality show's debut on Lifetime.  See pics from the premiere inside.....

 

Last night in NYC, Bobbi Kristina stepped out in support of the Lifetime debut of  "The Houstons: On Our Own." 

 

And chick loves herself a sparkly dress:

Bobbi Kris's rumored fiance Nick Gordon, who also appears on the show, was on her arm -- and her lips -- at the launch held at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Bobbi Kris posed with grandmother, Cissy Houston, who also stars on the show.

"R&B Divas" star Monifah channeled a little Khia for her carpet stroll.

Former "BBW LA" star Imani Showalter was also seen at the party in her Loboutin heels.  We thought it was Star Jones for a minute. 

The entire cast, which includes Bobbi Kris, Nick, Cissy, Pat Houston, Gary Houston and Rayah (Pat's daughter) all posed together during the event.

Pat, Cissy & Rayah all hit "The View" this morning to chat about the line of "Whitney" inspired photo books, candles & the album coming out.  And Pat claimed that she doesn't feel the reality show exploits Bobbi Kristina in any way, even though she said she was "worried about her" and her underage drinking at one point.

Cissy maintained that nobody made her do anything, in response to the rumors that she was forced into appearing on the reality show.  And as for 19-year-old Bobbi Kris, she's still very close with 23-year-old Nick (who's been in her life since he was 16), but the family is not keen on him becoming Bobbi's husband.

This show will be one for the books....

WHAT'S YOUR MALFUNCTION? Nicki Minaj Brushes Off All Her NIP SLIPS During UK Tour Kick Off!

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 10:30 AM PDT

Nicki Minaj let her pasties take center stage as she kicked off her UK tour Sunday night in Nottingham.  And chick didn't seem to mind...neither did the audience.  Check out Nicki & all her nipple pasties glory inside...

Nicki, Roman, Roman's mama and everybody else in that chick's head all suffered a few nip slips during the first UK arena concert during Nicki's first Pink Friday-- Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up tour date. Her bustier slipped down to expose her nips--which she's finally learn to cover with pasties after that "Good Morning America" concert fiasco over a year ago.

"The Boys" rapper was performing at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England when her right nipple popped out of her sparkly corset dress during the energetic "Va Va Voom" performance, but she ignored the fashion mishap and continued on with the show:

She addressed the overexposure and told the crowd, "You guys have seen my boobs before. You won't tell anyone, will you? What happens in Nottingham..."  And proceeded to have a few more nip slips throughout the show:

She was closing out with "Starships" with her heart shaped pasties on full display after her sparkly bra failed to contain any of her lady lumps.  Obvs.

She had already told the crowd earlier in the night, "This is our first show so excuse any boobs popping out or any penises popping out!"  Clearly.

Nicki hit up Manchester last night and partied with her UK Barbz.
