SPOTTED: Lil Kim Hits MTV's RAP FIX LIVE...Draped In Gold & Fur Posted: 07 Mar 2013 09:20 AM PST Lil Kim, the Queen Bee, was spotted on the streets of New York with a face so puffy you'd think she was the victim of a bee sting. See the pics inside.... Legendary rapper Lil' Kim must have gotten too close to the honey pot as she strutted through the streets of New York with an expressionless, wrinkle-free face that looked "stung" and frozen in time.  She was decked out in her gold jewelry and fur coat as she made her promo rounds in NYC. In town for an appearance on MTV's "Rap Fix Live," Kim talked about her musical endeavors, including her new artist Tiffany Foxx.  And though her ever-evolving face may raise eyebrows, Kim's still showing her skills are there by appearing in mentee Tiffany's new rap video.    Photos via Splash

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: Deelishis SPEAKS OUT About "AGGRESSIVE ARGUMENT" With Ex...Is She Protecting ABUSIVE Ex Husband? Posted: 07 Mar 2013 07:52 AM PST Former reality TV star Deelishis stopped by Hot 107.5 in Detroit to talk about the "aggressive argument" that happened between she and her ex-husband, if she was attacked by strippers and that "leaping out the window"  nonsense.  Listen to the interview inside....  Reality TV vixen Deelishis has been all over social media recently as rumors about her being attacked by her ex-husband, Orlando Gordon, jumped by a pack of wild strippers and leaping out of a window have been repeated over and over.  She stopped by Detroit's Hot 107.5 recently to clear up the rumors and also call folks out for making fun of her and those serious issues....if they had "actually" happened.  Deelishis had a very warm rapport with Big Greg (the host) and it was pretty clear that she wasn't going to go into details. So what did she reveal? She said for LEGAL purposes, she would only talk about what DID NOT happen.  Here are the highlights: On if she was/is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her ex-husband: When asked directly if she was a victim of domestic violence, she said "No."  She said she could not go into detail about what happened, but she did describe the confrontation between herself and her ex-husband as an "aggressive argument."  She went on to add that her ex-husband is a wild man from Detroit who does not want to see her with anyone else.  BUT, according to Dee, he did not jump on her. On if she jumped out of a second story window to escape her ex-husband. She DID NOT jump out of a window. On how she sustained her injuries: She said she "fell" and had an accident while in her "cute" shoes.  The fall did occur in the presence of her ex-husband but she made it clear that she DOES NOT owe the audience a full story about what happened.  Even as an entertainer, she said what's going on AND what happened between she and her ex-husband is THEIR business.  She said she shares a lot on Twitter and Instagram with fans, BUT she also has the right to keep certain things private.   On folks making light of the incident: “When something happens to a White artist–whether it’s a vixen, an actor, a singer, a dancer–they rally around even the craziest of entertainers. When something happens to a Black singer, rapper, dancer, vixen, model, it’s like you take it as a joke. What if this really happened?  Is that funny? Is that something that you joke about?” On being a survivor: When she posted that she was a survivor, she said it was her way of telling fans that she has come though a few situations (e.g. a rough marriage, public ridicule, lies & rumors) and she's still standing.    She said she is not a domestic violence victim, but she was victimized by this incident.    On if she got beat up by a pack of strippers in Detroit? "No. That didn't happen" On comedian Michael Blackson and how he responded to the incident: Deelishis said that Michael is a comedian and the fact that he can make light of the incident means he WAS NOT harmed.  She said, if he was harmed, he would be pressing charges.  She added that she was embarrassed that he was around her when she had a domestic situation and she commended him for not pressing charges.   She added that of all the things that have been said about her over the years, this situation hurt her the most.  She said she found it hurtful that gossips would take the incident and use it to ridicule and humiliate her.  She closed by repeating that she was not a victim of domestic violence and she was disappointed that her "fans" turned the incident into a joking matter. As she began calling out certain folks like Rickey Smiley and TMZ.  Before she left the interview, she talked about the good things going on for her like an upcoming comedy "Call Me Montana" with comedian Michael Blackson and she's working on a new stage play with Kamal Smith called "The Ultimatum." Watch the interview here: With all things said, this still seems like a good Made-For-Ratchet-TV-movie....

Former Destiny's Child Singer LaTavia Roberson Is PREGNANT...Gears Up For Reality Show, Tell-All Memoir & Her Baby To Share Beyonce's Birthday! Posted: 06 Mar 2013 02:43 PM PST Original member of Destiny's Child, LaTavia Roberson, is three months pregnant!  And her baby is due on her former group mate Beyonce's birthday.    Deets inside, plus how LaTavia's gearing up for the spotlight once again.... 31-year-old LaTavia Roberson has been staying fab, living in Atlanta and doing local appearances here and there since receiving the axe from Destiny's Child years ago.  But after all the drama, all of the original members (plus Michelle) are supportive and loving toward each other's careers.  And LaTavia's baby, according to her reps, is ironically due on September 4th....which is also Beyonce's b-day.  So now that LaTavia is the second member of D-Child to have a baby, we're sure the girls are happy for her.  And her upcoming reality show and even her tell-all. According to the press release, LaTavia's child's father is a "well known Alanta producer".  So this could be anyone.  We do know that for years she dated Jagged Edge member Brandon Casey, but that ended several years ago. It was also revealed that LaTavia recently signed a production contract with hit reality television producer Carlos King since she's ready to open up about her past, pregnancy and plans for her future. Executive Producer Carlos, who also did "RHOA", "Oprah's Season 25 Behind The Scenes," "Real Housewives of New Jersey," says, “I’m excited to work with LaTavia to effectively tell her story on television. This is her first time speaking out about her past. This woman has endured more than the public even realizes, and once they hear half of it, they will be in awe. She is a true survivor!” And let's not forget about that tell-all memoir that's been rumored to be in the works for a while now.  THAT is due out later this year.  The press release states: Production plans include developing a reality show documenting Latavia’s pregnancy, the ups and downs of her relationship with her child's father and her past battle with molestation, alcoholism and jail time. Her struggles to distance herself from the negativity surrounding her untimely departure from Destiny's Child, still follow her, but LaTavia is determined to clear the air once and for all. Future plans also include returning to the studio to showcase her voice for the first time as a solo artist and the final release of her highly anticipated “tell all” memoir due later this year! Sounds like Ms. Roberson is ready for that spotlight again.  Our nosy selves will be reading and watching...   Pics via LaTavia's Twitter

RUMOR CONTROL: Savannah Brinson CONFIRMS She & LeBron James Are STILL GETTING MARRIED + Rita Ora SLAMS Rob Kardashian, Says There NEVER Was A RELATIONSHIP Posted: 06 Mar 2013 01:03 PM PST Savannah Brinson has squashed rumors that she and LeBron James have split by telling one reporter that are very much together and still getting married.  Find out more inside and see what Rita Ora said about NEVER being in a relationship with Rob Kardashian....   When Savannah Brinson missed several Miami Heat events that were attended by girlfriends and wives, the rumor mill started swirling that the pair had split.  However, Savanna Brinson recently squashed those rumors by telling Gossip Extra, “Some people have nothing better to do than starting rumors. It’s not because we’re not together 24/7 that we’re having problems.”   When asked if the wedding was still on, she replied, “Yes, we are definitely getting married, but I’m not telling you when or where!”  She's also been tweeting about her pre-bridal fitness. Details about the upcoming nuptials are also being kept top secret as folks speculate about where Savannah might be get her wedding dress from. Though she was spotted at the bridal boutique Ever After in Miami, a rep from the company said, "Ms. Brinson visited a bridal market in New York. Any other information about Ms. Brinson would be confidential."  That wedding will be a fab one though.   In other news...... Rita Ora is speaking out again about the Twitter rant that Rob Kardashian went on last year where he dogged her out for cheating on him with over 20 guys.  Now, Rita is saying to an Australian magazine, according to the Mirror UK, that she never called what they had a "relationship." “I never thought it was actually a relationship, in all honesty. I never mentally defined it as ‘boyfriend, girlfriend’. When I split up with him, I said, ‘It’s because I’m never there, I don’t know how to do it.’ That’s all I said, then … the rest happened. He obviously felt that creating myths was the way forward." And when questioned about Rob's revelation that she slept around with 20 or so guys while they were together...she suggested he might be a little unstable. “When you are involved with someone for a while and they decide to express their feelings to the public, well, that’s not my personal way of therapy but I guess everyone takes split-ups differently. You should have to sit an exam before you go on Twitter. To see if you’re mentally stable.” Rob hasn't responded to Rita's quotes yet, but we think the more vocal members of his family (like Khloe) may eventually chime in.
