| AND IT CONTINUES: Keyshia Cole Responds To The Dream Saying He Won't Work With Her Over Beyonce Diss Posted: 04 Apr 2013 08:40 AM PDT
Retract those claws ladies! The Dream & Keyshia Cole are going at it in the places where all mature adult conversations go down in this business.....The Breakfast Club & Twitter. Check out inside why Key Key and The Dream are getting sassy with each other over that Beyonce diss... After Keyshia threw shade at Beyonce over "Bow Down," The Dream put on his cape and announced he will no longer work with Keyshia because of it. Guess that means the backlash for shading "The Queen" has begun. Sigh. We told you this would happen Key. During the "Falsetto" singer's interview on The Breakfast Club this week, the team did what they do best--stirred the shady pot. They asked Dream how he felt about Keyshia going for his girl over "Bow Down" and slamming her for doing the song. After he responded saying he wouldn't be able to work with her after that, Keyshia had some words of her own to say on Twitter about not being fazed:
That one song, if you're wondering, is "Hey Sexy" off Key Key's latest album Woman To Woman. Dream's blacklisting plan may have backfired because I swear he just gave that song more pub than not....since no one even knew about that track in the first place. Dream tweeted after Keyshia's response (and the public's response about his stance):
He continued:
Well anyway, check the full interview below of what Dream Ruxpin told TBC: Meanwhile, Keyshia is set to hit the Superdome stage at the 2013 Essence Music Festival on Saturday, July 6, the same night as Bey's little sis Solange.
BONUS: Speaking of Bey, the brand new trailer for The Great Gatsby was released today. And with Jay-Z executive producing the soundtrack, it only makes sense his wife Beyonce teamed up with Andre 3000 for an original song for the movie, and Lana Del Rey and Florence + The Machine are also part of the soundtrack. It can all be heard below in the hot new trailer:

The official trailer for Rihanna's 777 Tour documentary is out. We've got it inside as a sneak peek of what to expect from the jet setting chick inside... In case you missed Rihanna's 777 tour and for some reason want to see the show & behind the scenes footage of what you missed, you're in luck. Fox just released the trailer for the upcoming trailer for Rih Rih's documentary that follows her 7 days, 7 countries mini tour that popped off late last year. With her track "Right Now" blasting, the River Island designer is shown walking to her 777 Jet. And the tagline "One woman takes on the world" pops up on the screen. It's a build up to he glammed up confetti and champagne filled doc that's giving an inside look into how the big trip went down. But there's no hint of the foolywangery that went down with the journalists and fans who were along for the ride. People were giving play by plays last November how there was no sleep, no food, no time with Rih and no escape from the madness of the trip. Some even called it a trip from hell. But Rih maintained during an interview with UK's Radio 1 that the trip had its hiccups but she would def do it again:
Check out the sneak peek below:
And a snippet of her impromptu press conference fromt he plane this past November:

What in the total hell? Janet Jackson reportedly walked away from the entertainment industry...though none of her die-hard fans knew about it. Find out why Janet's said to have turned her back on the spotlight inside.....
As fans all around the world collectively clutch their pearls, reports are surfacing that you may NEVER see Janet Jackson's abs, boobs or Poetic Justice braids again. Apparently, after secretly marrying her hot billionaire husband, Wissam Al Mana, Ms. Jackson...if you're Nasty...made the made the decision to walk away from Hollywood. And now supposedly this chick went and converted to Islamic culture. A source told Showbiz 411, “She’s gone. She married a billionaire. They’ve got houses in three countries. She’s spending time in the Middle East. She’s become a Muslim.” If you think about it, it makes perfect sense that the True You author Janet, who's had her life in the hands of critics and gossip columnists since she was a kid, would opt for a quiet opulent life. And we can't even be mad about it...a sexy billionaire and your life becoming one big vacation away from the foolishness that sometimes overtakes this industry? Slightly jealous now that we think about it.... While Justin Timberlake is seeing the best sales of his career, it could be argued that America never really embraced Janet after the nipplegate debacle at Superbowl 2004. Her music career became a snooze fest, she had to downgrade her concert tours from arenas to concert halls and no one in Hollywood came calling (except Tyler Perry). But it doesn't look like Janet is planning to go completely into hiding...at least not yet. From the looks of it, she'll remain dedicated to her causes, such as fundraising for AIDS research with amFAR. She recently tweeted about an auction for fans to spend time with her at the Cannes Film Festival in May to raise money for the foundation.
Outside of the occasional appearance at Fashion week, there don't seem to be any plans for movies, books or music. Maybe this truly clears the mantle for someone like Ciara to step up to the plate. Oh Damita Jo....

| Beyonce's "Mirrors" Pepsi Commercial + New "Grown Woman" Snippet? Posted: 04 Apr 2013 06:42 AM PDT
Beyonce just revealed her big 4/4/13 mystery. New music? Not exactly. It's her brand new Pepsi ad....with a sliver of new music in the background. WOMP. But we're still kinda loving it anyway. Check it inside... After yesterday's big pre-announcement of something popping on April 4 at 9am EST, this morning folks tuned in anxiously awaiting something big. And the big reveal....is the "Bow Down" singer's brand new 2013 Pepsi ad. It's called "Mirrors" and showcases a reflection on all the changes Beyonce has experienced through her career: "Bootylicious" Bey, "Single Ladies" Bey, Sasha Fierce, and more. At the end of the commercial, the bleached blonde diva, who celebrates her 5th wedding anniversary with Mr. Carter today, says "Embrace your past, but live for NOW." The quote plays into Pepsi's "Now" theme. In the background of the minute long commercial, a snippet of a new upbeat dance track is playing as the theme. I'm sure we'll be hearing the full version soon. Check it below: Chick looks fabulous as usual. But while dropping this Pepsi ad is cute and all...we're ready for this new album. Have a feeling she's going to drop that mug out the blue with no promo or warning though. Get ready... Speaking of new music, this new snippet of an upbeat Timbaland-produced song, allegedly off Beyonce's new album, called "Grown Woman" leaked on the net today. It sounds like someone recorded her singing it acapella while rehearsing or in the studio. Check it below:
Let the hate...and love...begin.... BONUS: The date of Bey's ESSENCE Music Festival 2013 performance was just announced. She'll be tearing down the Superdome Sunday, July 7 as the headlining finale. Source: Beyonce.com/LoveBScott.com |

Fantasia opened up about being bullied on social media in a new interview for her Side Effects Of You disc. Find out what she said inside and see Kevin Hart and Duane Martin confirm that Robin Thicke is leaving "RHOH."
During a recent interview with Peter Bailey's NightCap, Fantasia revealed that the detractors and critics on social media really hurt her feelings. She said the bullying needs to stop and fans should focus on the artist's music and not their personal lives.
Now y'all leave Fanny alone. Or something. Fantasia's upcoming cd, Side Effects Of You, is slated for release on April 23rd.
Watch Fantasia's talk about bullying and social media at (7:37):
In other music news..... "RHOH" star Kevin Hart broke his silence on Hip Hollywood earlier today and confirmed rumors about Robin Thicke's departure from the show. The funnyman shot down gossip that Robin left the show on bad terms or that he was pissy about how he was portrayed on the show. Kevin simply said Robin wanted to focus on other things. Duane Martin also shared his thoughts about Robin's departure by comparing him to Bobby Brown and The Five Heartbeat's Eddie Kane Jr. He joked that singers always leave groups....go solo...then they return. He then broke out into a funny impression of Robin singing, "Nights Like This". |

| REALITY FAB: SUPER TRAILERS For "LAHH: Atlanta 2" + "R&B Divas: Atlanta 2" REVEALED Posted: 03 Apr 2013 10:36 AM PDT
Let the foolery begin (again)! The super trailers for "LAHH ATL 2" and R&B Divas 2" have been released and both should hack kicked it up 100% in the drama department. Watch both inside..... While "LAHH 3" turned out to be a snooze-fest, Mona Scott Young looks like she will strike gold a second time with Atlanta version of the franchise. The drama-filled super trailer for season 2 finds K. Michelle at odds with most of her castmates includes fights with Rasheeda, Kirk Frost and Mimi Faust. Meanwhile, there seem to be love triangles between Erica/Lil' Scrappy/Shay and Joseline/Stevie J/Che Mac and they all culminate into altercations that appear to get physical. If it ain't broke...don't fix it. Must-see moments include Joseline calling Mimi "the help" (*death*), Rasheeda telling Kirk she's pregnant (isn't this a borderline miracle considering....?), and a fight between new castmates and former couple DJ Traci Steele and Baby Drew. Baby Drew is Chris Brown's DJ and Traci Steele is also a DJ and his baby's mother. Watch the super trailer here: The drama starts April 22nd on VH1 at 8/7C.
Also in ATL reality tv drama....
The folks over at TV One must have gotten the memo about amping up the "drama" quota on this season of "R&B Divas: Atlanta" because things look very different this time around. While the first season of "R&B Divas" was about "uplifting" one another, this season definitely plays into the characters' insecurities and differences. Angie Stone & Latocha Scott (of Xscape) join the cast this season, which will feature mounting tensions between Syleena Johnson and Nicci Gilbert, an altercation between the husbands of Latocha and Nicci and actions from KeKe Wyatt that call into question her "stabilty". And yes, we hear from credible sources she indeed quit the show on one of the last days of filming. Watch the trailer above and check out the first episode of “R&B Divas Atlanta,” on Wednesday, May 1 at 10/9c. |
| Kerry Washington & Tony Goldwyn Get SCANDALOUS And TRADE ROLES For "Entertainment Weekly" Posted: 03 Apr 2013 09:22 AM PDT
Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn got a little "scandalous" for their photoshoot with "EW" to promote the upcoming season finale of "Scandal". See the cover inside and see what the show's executive producer says fans can expect to see....
"Scandal" stars Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn got pretty damn close for a sexy shoot in the latest issue of "EW" magazine. Inside the accompanying article, the magazine dished with the show's stars, executive producer Betsy Beers and show creator Shonda Rhimes. Shonda, knowing that the show gets 220,000 tweets per episode, explained the show's appeal to fans and celebrities saying, “I feel like The West Wing brought us Washington as we’d all want it to be. And this show brings us Washington as we hope it would never be.” And Kerry, whose Olivia Pope character is a popular topic on social media sites, was shocked to find out that Mary J. Blige, Oprah Winfrey and Lena Dunham are amongst their fans. “Bill Clinton was another person where I was like, ‘What?! You watch Scandal?! I feel like it happens at least once a week — that I am totally floored by somebody who watches the show.” So what can fans expect from this year's season finale? Betsy tossed out a teaser to the mag saying, "If people think we’re burning through story now, they’re going to be very shocked at what happens in the next few episodes.” That chemistry though....we're getting our popcorn ready.... Watch "BTS" video from the cover shoot And if you've ever wondered how "Scandal" would play out if Olivia Pope were POTUS, watch Kerry and Tony trade roles here. The "Scandal" cover hits magazine racks on April 5th. |
