They weren't with them shootin' in the gym....but they were surely keeping their bodies & minds right in bed after the gym. That's why Miami Heat NBA champs LeBron James, Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh created duplicate NBA championship rings for their leading ladies. And it took no time for the crew to put their pics on blast.
Pics inside.... At Tuesday night's "Ring Ceremony" where all of the Miami Heat players got their NBA championship rings, prior to their Eastern Conference opener against the Celtics at American Airlines Arena, the players weren't the only ones getting dripped in diamonds. The Big 3 (and likely other players) created duplicate championship rings for their ladies. LeBron gave a matching black & diamond ring to fiancee Savannah Brinson, Dwyane Wade copped one for girlfriend Gabrielle Union, and Chris Bosh handed one over to wife Adrienne. By the way, many professional sports champs create some type of championship memorabilia for their significant others, in the forms of charms, rings, necklaces, more. The ladies looked fab for the event and afterparty as well:
Savannah's been on a bridal bootcamp style workout plan and it's clearly paying off. She looks great!
She and LeBron showed off their matching championship rings. Loving her nails.
Gabby & Dwyane snapped a cute intimate pic showing off their matching rings. By the way, Gabby recently told JustTheFab.com that she's very content with simply being D-Wade's girlfriend for now. No plans for marriage. She said:
Oh...
And Chris & Adrienne Bosh showed off their rings. Must be nice... Pics: Twitter/Tumblr |

Rapper Lil' Wayne has been ordered to stay out of the friendly skies following his two health scares. Get the deets inside and find out about 50 Cent disbanding The Money Team (TMT) and see Rita Ora on "The Late Show."
As Lil' Wayne recovers at his mom's home, he's been grounded by his doctors and ordered to stay out of airplanes. We told you earlier about Weezy's two health scares while in the air, so now he's only going to be traveling by bus. Sources close to him say he's been to the doctor twice since getting out of the hospital and has nurses who check on him regularly. Though he's still recovering, his reps say he plans to take a luxury bus to his home in Miami where he will continue to get rest and get better. Get well Weezy!
And on late night television....
Rita Ora, who just went public with her relationship with Rob Kardashian, performed her hit track "R.I.P" on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night. The track appears on her debut, ORA. She later tweeted, "letterman was awsoooome!"
In other music news.....
50 Cent has been dropping a few bombshells on Twitter lately, but unlike the old days, his barbs aren't aimed at fellow rappers. He's revealed that TMT (The Money Team) has broken up and ironicallly....money was one of the reasons for the split. And now that TMT is no longer....he's discounting TMT merchandise. And to add salt to the wound, he's selling some of his personal TMT items for a dollar. WOMP.
So what led to this? Well for starters, 50 is getting into the boxing game, as a promoter, and working with Manny Pacquiao. This business relationship couldn't have done much for his bromance with Floyd Mayweather (especially since Manny is his chief rival and there are rumors Floyd and 50 aren't getting along). Sigh...... We wonder if 50 is working with Manny strictly to make money or is this to get under Floyd's skin? Kowing Fif....it's a little of both.

| This Won't End Well--Chris Brown Dresses Up As A "Terrorist" For Halloween Posted: 31 Oct 2012 11:48 PM PDT
Chris Brown seems dead set on the public hating him or judging him. Because on Halloween,, Breezy posted this pic as him and his boys dressed as "terrorists" and Osama Bin Laden.
It's stirring up all types of controversy on the net. More inside.... Breezy usually hates when the public judges his actions or has anything to say about what he's up to...but with this Halloween costume of his, he may be inviting the drama. He posted a pic of himself and his friends in "terrorist" looks--himself seemingly Osama Bin Laden--pointing military guns in the air. He said:
Yeah, this likely won't end well. But what do you think of his costume? Funny or downright disrespectful? You decide... |

Jada Pinkett Smith recently raised $2Million for President Obama while joking that the Secret Service helped her find a few lost items at home. Watch her interview inside and find out how Hurricane Sandy is affecting Amar'e Stoudemire, the big Brooklyn Nets vs. NY Knicks game and others in the NJ/NY area.
Jada Pinkett Smith proved that women have the power during her stop through "The Moms Afternoon Tea Conversation About How To Stop Human Trafficking" yesterday. While lending her name to the fight against human trafficking, Jada also talked about lending her name and home to the President Obama campaign last week. Jada hosted a fundraiser at her mega mansion in Malibu with First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance and raised over $2 Million dollars. Jada said it was important for women to be involved in the political process and her fundraiser proved that women could also pull in big donors. She jokingly revealed that after the Secret Services combed through every corner of her home (prior to FLOTUS arrival) the came across items that she thought she had lost!
Watch the clip here:
And speaking of the President, he traveled to New Jersey today to check out first hand the devastation from Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey. And celebs in NYC weren't spared from the devastation either:
NY Knicks baller Amar'e Stoudemire shared pics of what Sandy did to his Range Rover!
The baller's car was flooded out during the storm when flood water swept through his parking garage. He said, " My truck #Sandy No Power, No Water" Damn!
And back at home....he and his family (including the adorable kids) are stuck with no electricity. But they made their meal into a candlelit dinner. Gotta make the most out of it.
Other Hurricane Sandy tidbits:
Stay safe and strong everyone!

| Q Parker CELEBRATES "The MANual" RELEASE In ATL With Monyetta, Nicci Gilbert And AJ Johnson Posted: 31 Oct 2012 04:05 PM PDT
112 singer Q Parker celebrated the release of his solo debut album The MANual last night with AJ Johnson, Monyetta and others. See the photos inside...
Last night, Q Parker celebrated the release of The MANual at Aurum in Atlanta.
Q, who hopes the disc will foster better communication among couples, posed with his wife Sharlinda at the party. Sharlinda, may be appearing on the STYLE Network's upcoming "Big Rich Atlanta" series (a spinoff of "Big Rich Texas") as a friend posted a "congrats" on her Facebook timeline saying, "Congrats on your new album Q. And congrats on Big Rich Atlanta Sharlinda!"
Sharlinda, who posed with daughter Kahdijiha Rowe and her twin sister Sabrina, has not confirmed her casting (and neither has STYLE) but there are already reports about Kahdijiha getting into a fight with a "cast member" who has quit the show because of the brawl. And since the "Big Rich" series usually pairs mother and daughters, it would seem like Sharlinda is involved as well.
Life coach and wellness expert AJ Johnson came out to support Q. Former Day 26 singer Anthony Q was seen at the release.
R&B singer Sammy bundled up in a cap, scarf and sweatshirt to support The MANual.
"R&B Divas" co-stars Nicci Gilbert and Syleena Johnson posed together.
Former Destiny's Child member Latavia Roberson also hit the red carpet with Syleena. Latavia's still looking fab these days.
Syleena also posed with lifestyle guru Kenny Burns.
Ne-Yo's fiancee Monyetta Shaw kept her outfit simple pairing black leggings with a white blouse and black top. Looks like she's getting that post baby bod action in after having her 2 little ones back to back.
V103 personality Egypt posed with former reality star Chanita Foster and Monyetta. Glad to see Q is still working on the scene!

| WILLOW-RIFIC! Happy 12th Birthday Willow Smith! Posted: 31 Oct 2012 02:48 PM PDT
It's an eery coincidence that the ever eclectic child of Hollywood Royalty--Willow Smith--was born on Halloween. it explains so much. Celebrate Willow's big 12th birthday inside... She already has several movies under her belt, a few chart topping singles, almost 3 million Twitter followers and millions of Instagram followers. And she's only 12. What could make a 12-year-old that interesting? We don't know--but having parents like Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith surely does help. Willow's known for being her own chick, changing her hair color and style every hour it seems, and rocking the most unique style we've ever seen on a pre-teen. And we hope, today, she has even more fun with life than usual. Next up for the triple threat? She's starring in the upcoming Annie remake. And helping her equally talented brother, Jaden, promote his upcoming music projects. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLOW!Celebrate by checking out her most fun looks of the year in the gallery below.... |

While Hurricane Sandy's devastating waters are keeping Kanye's penthouse in Soho, NYC without power, Mr. West jetted down to Miami to be with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian today.
Peep the pics of their airport reunion...and 'Ye's make up session with the paparazzo he tried to attack a while back, plus Kim & Kanye on a double lunch date with Kourtney & Scott...
Kanye hopped off his flight to Miami this morning to join up with his camera loving boo Kim K. as she continues to film her "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" reality show. And look who he ran into while his girlfriend was scooping him up in her black Rolls Royce:
Yep, the same paparazzo chick he got into a fight with a few weeks ago outside of Prime 112 after she asked him a question about Kim's ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush, who was dining nearby at the time. The twosome hugged it out and are now besties. Not really, but I'm sure they are in her head.
Afterwards, everybody changed clothes--Kim into a completely see thru lace black top and black ill-fitting leather pants--to grab lunch at Makoto restaurant in Bal Harbour and to do a little shopping:
Kim's sis Kourtney and her boyfriend/baby's daddy Scott Disick joined them for a double lunch date.
Well isn't that special. Pics: FAME/SPLASH |

Singer Miguel tweeted a pic from his studio session with Beyonce. See the pic inside and watch Kerry Washington have some fun with Chelsea Handler. It looks like pop icon Beyonce is working on a musical project with Miguel as he posted a pic with the Queen Bee saying, "woah. creating for Virgo's all weekend." No word yet on what the duo is cooking up but it could be linked to her Superbowl halftime show or some other project she has planned for 2013.
And on late night television.... Kerry Washington chatted it up with Chelsea Handler. Kerry, who first appeared on Chelsea's show four years ago, talked about the success of "Scandal" and revealed that the show had been picked up for nine new episodes. She also talked about crisis manager Judy Smith, on whom her character is based. She then talked about her political activism and her support for President Barack Obama. Congrats to Kerry on "Scandal" getting picked up for the full season!
