As we all know, Rihanna made a beeline to Paris a few days ago saying "risky business"--as she put it--was about to take place.  Likely because her new (again) lover Chris Brown was there peforming a set of concerts...and his ex-girlfriend Kae was there with him as well.

 

Pics of Rih leaving the studio in formal fur, plus Chris making a move to Dubai....

Not sure why Rih was so decked out just to hit a music studio, but the lady in red was spotted hitting the streets of Paris yesterday.  The same day her boo Chris Brown was spotted leaving his Paris hotel (same one Karrueche was staying at):

Photobucket

And he supposedly went to dinner with Kae as well the other night, even though he told his fans he had to skip out on his after party the ther night because he was feeling sick:

Photobucket

No word on if he and Rihanna actually met up at any point in Paris, seeing that Kae was by Chris' side almost the whole time, but we do know Chris just got to Dubai today:

Photobucket

And Kae, along with her "team" for her upcoming clothing line releasing tomorrow, The Kill, hit the Paris airport to jet back to L.A.:

Interesting...

Chris is scheduled to jet to South Africa next week to continue his Carpe Diem tour.

As Miami's Art Basel came to an end on Sunday, Jay-Z & wife Beyonce stayed in the warm city a bit longer to catch Jay's bestie LeBron James and his Heat play the Atlanta Hawks.

 

Check out their cutesy courtside cuddle inside..

It wasn't his team the Brooklyn Nets on the court, but NBA fan Jay-Z took in the Heat vs. Hawks game with Bey last night.  The twosome were there to cheer on Bron Bron and D-Wade as they beat the Hawks 101-92.

BKC donned her usual bun with a sheer blouse with her her polka dotted cami peeking through:

And she paired the look with her cheetah print Alaïa lace-up calf hair ankle boots and sleek skinny jeans.  The twosome had a laid back chill time it seems:

The Carters have a lot to celebrate before 20113 even gets started.  Jay is performing a big NYE concert at the Barclays Center.  And Bey just nabbed a deal worth $50 mill with PEPSI (peep the ad and details HERE in case you missed it) and is prepping for her 2013 Superbowl halftime performance...and a new album.

GOSSIP BITS: Michelle Williams Travels To Nigeria....With Her Rumored Boo Wale Ogunleye

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 04:04 PM PST

Photobucket

Michelle Williams has been romantically linked (through rumors) to former NFL baller Adewale "Wale" Ogunleye for the past couple of years.  Perhaps even overlapping with the relationship between Wale & Kelis.  But now we've learned the two are getting more serious, and Michelle traveled to his home country of Nigeria over the weekend....

Former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams has been spending her days still singing, and allegedly staying boo'd up with Wale Agunleye.  We're told Michelle started dating the baller after she broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Chris Dave, a famous drummer who is a part of the Robert Glasper Band and plays with D'Angelo.

 

Photobucket

They've been trying to hide their relationship from the public, but we're told they're not ready to let the world in.  But that didn't stop Michelle from traveling with Wale to his home country of Nigeria this past weekend.  She was there to sing the country's National Anthem at an event (pictured above).  She tweeted this weekend: 

Sad to be leaving Nigeria so soon! I just got here yesterday and have to leave tonight! One of the BEST times of my life! #GRATEFUL

Sources tell us the former Miami Dolphin and Chicago Bears player have been dating for several months, but have been "cloe friends" for over a year. They've shared cozy dinners in Chicago (where Michelle is from) and even some trips to Miami.  And we're told they both live in Chicago now, as Wale just bought a home there.

We like these two...

 

Photobucket

Wale also dated Sanaa Lathan (pictured above back in 2009) for a few years prior to Kelis.

THIRST CHRONICLES: Brooke Bailey BLASTS The "BBW: LA" Cast, Bambi Reponds + Stacey Dash Releases Comedy Promo

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 01:20 PM PST

Photobucket

As we prepare for tonight's finale of "Basketball Wives LA" and part 1 of the reunion show. Brooke Bailey has let it all hang out exactly what she feels about all her castmates.  And NONE of it is pretty.  Find out how she blasted the cast for being fake ho*s inside, plus Stacey Dash's newest venture...

"BBW: LA" star Brooke Bailey called into Street Disciplez Radio and dished on Draya getting famous for smashing famous dudes like Chris Brown, and not being a real model.  And she also called Malaysia fake and revealed just how badly she beat Jackie's ass.  Oh, and she address Natalie Nunn (former "Bad Girls Club" star) about saying any of her body parts are fake--aside from her boobs.
 

ON WHETHER SHE'S STILL DATING VERNON MACKLIN:

"We're cool, but we're not dating anymore, no."

ON HER BEEF WITH BAMBI:

"She's delusional. I never had a situation with her, she had one with me, and she never really confronted me about it."

ON JACKIE CHRISTIE:

"I really beat her ass. It got so real to where I blacked out; I remember her kicking me. After that, I don't remember anything until security was trying to get me up off of her. But you know what, I have to give Jackie props because out of all the girls that I pressed and confronted about little sneaky sh*t or the shade they was trying to throw, she was the only b*tch that stood up and said 'this is what I'm saying.' She never backed down from what she was saying, so I kind of respect her for that."

ON DRAYA AND THEIR KING MAGAZINE COVER BEEF:

"I always felt that Draya was a fun girl. She's never been a model, she's never my competition in the industry. Whatever she does, that's her business, and I respect however she gets her money, that's cool. But what I can't respect is if you want to pop your collar, that's cool, but b*tch, don't try to un-pop mine."

ON DRAYA BEING A "FUN GIRL" AND NOT A MODEL:

"She's done modeling, but the basis of her career started from her f*cking Chris Brown. When you're dating a rapper, of course you're going to be in other people's videos or their videos because that's what you're around. It doesn't mean that you're a model, it doesn't mean that. She's never had to audition, she's never had to do the things that I've done to build my career. She didn't have to learn protocol. That's why when it came to business, she f*cked up."

ON MALAYSIA:

"She's fake as f*ck, and that's how I feel to this day."

Check out the full interview below:

 

Co-star Bambi caught wind of Brooke talking ish about her bestie Malaysia, and responded via Twitter today saying:

U can't call people fake if u not even trill enough to own up to the niggas u smashed! #YouFeelMe...Don't fuck wit my friends please ... Ever

Meanwhile, Stacey Dash is trying her damndest to stay relevant.  Here's a new trailer she released over the weekend for a new "scripted comedy" coming soon...somewhere.  Check out "Stacey Dash Is Normal" below:

 

The description:

Stacey Dash plays an over-the-top, conflicted version of herself in this new scripted comedy series. STACEY DASH IS NORMAL, coming soon.

Alrighty then...

DO WE LOVE IT: Ciara's NEW Cornrows + Rita Ora's "Radioactive" VIDEO

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 10:47 AM PST

Photobucket

"Got Me Good" singer Ciara tweeted a photo of her new cornrows, a throwback to one of her past looks. See Ciara's new style inside and watch Rita Ora's video for "radioactive."

As she gears up for her upcoming performance on VH1 Divas (which is rumored to feature a Michael Jackson song), Ciara tweeted a photo of her most recent hairstyle saying, "Return Of The Rows."  No word on whether Cici's new 'do will play a role in her VH1 Divas performance (on Sunday, December 16 at 9PM ET/8C) but the blonde highlights suit her very well.

 

And in new videos....

Fresh off her Jingle Bell 2012 performance at London's O2 Arena, Rita Ora isn't letting a Twitter bashing by ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian slow her down.  She just released a video for her latest single, "Radioactive."

The Euro-pop flavored visuals feature some cool CGI animations and shows the singer living in a futuristice world.  Both the production of the video and the single have a Rihanna-like feel to them.  Shocker.  Watch the video for "Radioactove", off her ORA album, above....

SPEAK ON IT: The ANGUILLA Trip--Is Kenya Moore's Thirst For Marriage & Tacky Flirting With Married Men A Problem? (Plus, Walter BLASTS Kenya For Their "Fake" Relationship)

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 09:42 AM PST

Photobucket

Just when we thought Kenya Moore couldn't offer up anymore disappointing surprises about herself, the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" took us to the gorgeous island of Anguilla last night for the couples' trip.  And it was a doozy.

 

We've got some things to discuss about Kenya's flirtations with married men, her thirst for marriage, and why this ish AINT ok.

Once again, we're shocked and awed about our beloved former Miss USA's behavior on this here "Real Housewives of Atlanta."  Kenya brought Walter--who everyone BUT Kenya knows has absolutely zero interest in marrying her--as her date for the trip.  While the other ladies, Phaedra, NeNe, Kandi & Cynthia, brought their men too.

But maybe it was al the Rum Punches that led the ladies to letting down their guard more than usual, but foolywangery ensued.

Photobucket

After "Let me take the wheel" Kenya's nightmare of a boatride to their villa concluded, she threw a tantrum about not having a proper "water closet" for the toilet and not having a bathtub in her room.  Her diva-tude was on 100...likely for the cameras.  But possibly not.

Photobucket

Then we got to the beggary of Kenya as she and Walter spent some alone time on Scilly Cay, another beautiful part of the island.  She threw out obvious hint after obvious hint that they should get married--even saying they should just elope right there in Anguilla because it would be "easier."

Oh girl.  Walter looked like he wanted to hop the next water skipper off the island--even if he had to fly that ish our himself.  Chick got shut down every time, and didn't even realize it. 

Photobucket

And after the major drama of her flirting with Apollo right in front of his wife, Phaedra, and Walter as well, Phaedra had to break out the big buns and show off her donkey booty in a mesh beach dress....with a black thong.  Chick said she is keeping all attention on her....by any means necessary.

So what did Kenya do exactly?  Well after dropping it like it's hot the night before in Cynthia's husband Peter's man parts, then basically throwing her coochie crack at the "tall drink of water" manager of the Viceroy hotel--right in front of Walter--she got Apollo to feel her up by the pool.

She playfully pushed him in the pool, knowing he would retaliate.  And Apollo retaliated by picking up a fully dressed Kenya and conveniently dropped his hands over her ASSets to jump in the pool WITH her.  Yes, the two were frolicking like this ish was a fantasy novel.

By the way, before all this, Kenya had the audacity to ask Phaedra which two of her friends she would bring into the bedroom with her and Apollo if he asked for it.  Clearly....hinting it should be Kenya herself.  Sigh.

Yes, Phaedra looked like she wanted to break out a taser gun for Kenya's ass.  But Apollo should have caught a couple near-fatal stings as well for this disrespectful mess.

But you be the judge.  Check out the clips below (including NeNe bragging about her Queen of the Strip Club days while dancing with the locals):

 

Is Kenya wrong for this ish...or simply having fun?  Speak on it...

BONUS: So Walter went on Frank Ski & Wanda's radio show this morning on V103 in ATL. And he revealed she asked him, before the show, to play her "boyfriend" on the show. But....they dated for 3 months, 3 years ago. And he says this whole stint of their's....IS FAKE.  Kenya is put on blast below (Shout out to Funky Dineva for the audio):
