ON THE WAY: IT'S A GIRL For Heat Star Chris Bosh & Wife Adrienne! Posted: 13 Jun 2013 09:18 AM PDT Just one month after announcing the couple are expecting their second child together (and Chris' third), basketball wife Adrienne Bailon revealed they're having a GIRL!   Check out yet another Adrienne Bosh reveal-by-photoshoot inside... Lord help us all as the queen of Team Overdressed at the Miami Heat basketball games will have a mini me following in her footsteps.  Chris & Adrienne Bosh revealed they're having a girl in a few months.  And the reveal was done via--you guessed it--a photoshoot.  Self & family photshoots seem to be Adrienne's full time job these days.  She was pictured, in a shoot done by her fave photographer April Belle, rocking a pink dress and holding a little tiara.  The photographer Instagrammed the pics saying, "Congratulations to the Bosh family!  Expecting a baby girl!"   And Adrienne's been posting up a storm cute pics of her & Chris' 1-year-old son Jackson and Chris' daughter Trinity from a previous relationship: Always supporting dad during these NBA finals.   Cuteness.  Congrats to the Boshes!   Photos: April Belle Photos, Adrienne Bosh's Twitter, Chris Bosh's WhoSay

SNEAK PEEK: Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt, LaTocha Scott, Nicci Gilbert And Angie Stone TOGETHER AGAIN For The "R&B Divas" REUNION Taping Posted: 13 Jun 2013 06:36 AM PDT The ladies of "R&B Divas: Atlanta" reunited to tape their reunion special this week and we have a sneak peek at the ladies on the set.  See Keke, Angie, Syleena, Nicci and LaTocha inside.... Sparks flew during the R&B Divas Atlanta Season 2 Reunion taping on Tuesday night at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles. Old fights were revisited and new friendships were solidified when Executive Producer Nicci Gilbert, Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Keke Wyatt, Monifah Carter and LaTocha Scott all joined Joe Clair to dish on the past season. On womane who was missing in action was Faith Evans, who chose to skip the reunion to celebrate her 40th birthday. Does this mean she won't be back next season? Singer Nicci Gilbert, who spent most of the season battling Syleena Johnson looked like an angel in white for the taping. We wonder if her outfit was a part of the "Curvato" collection? Nicci even blessed the reunion with a vocal selection.  Hmmm...we wonder if that "Brownstone" reunion ever happened? Syleena Johnson spent most of the season battling Nicci and dealing with family drama as her mother, a former addict, became the newest member of her household. LaTocha Scott, who joined the cast earlier this season, did her best to avoid the on-screen drama.    Keke Wyatt was in pretty good spirits this season as she had a hit single on the radio with Avant, "You And I". Monifah, shown with her partner Terez, often played peace-maker this season.     DJ EQ keep the sounds flowing in between segments. And tv personality Joe Clair played referee during the talks. The explosive TV One reunion taping airs in two parts on June 26 and July 10 .   Photos via TV One

FIRST LOOK: Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, & Jeannie Mai's Daytime Talk Show "The Real" Posted: 13 Jun 2013 05:37 AM PDT Daytime television may be getting its most diverse panel of opinionated women ever when "The Real" hits airwaves starring Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Adrienne Bailon and Jeannie Mai.  And we're loving it already.  Watch the trailer inside.... We previously reported on Telepix has teaing up with several FOX affiliates to announce a younger, hipper version of "The View". And now, the first preview has hit the net. Starring singer/reality star Tamar Braxton, actress Tamera Mowry-Housley, TV personality Adrienne Bailon, comedian Loni Love and fashion expert Jeannie Mai, the new chatfest, "The Real" is set to debut in several select cities on July 15. The roundtable style show will feature the five busy career ladies dishing on everything from the latest celeb gossip to their views on love, sex and relationships. In her cast bio, "The One" singer, Tamar Braxton, said she hopes fans will get to see a different side of her when the show kicks off on July 17th.  "A lot of people think, because they see me on ‘Braxton Family Values’ as the youngest of five sisters, that I’m this brat and I’m just spoiled, but on this show I get to be a woman. I get to give you my real opinion about life, about pop culture, and finally be identified as just a regular lady." And actress Tamera Mowry-Housley thinks the show's diverse cast is what will really distinguish them from other programs on television.   "I love to be traditional and just because you are conservative or a traditional person doesn’t mean you have to be boring! …The greatest thing about America is its diversity and this show reflects that diversity. No matter who you are, there is someone at this table that will be speaking for you."   Agreed Tamera!

Olivier Martinez CONFIRMS It's A Boy AND He'll Be RAISED "AMERICAN"! + KeKe Palmer's GROWN UP Photoshoot Posted: 12 Jun 2013 06:26 PM PDT Olivier Martinez has confirmed that he and Halle Berry will proudly raise their son in America.  Get the deets on their decision inside and see outtakes from KeKe Palmer's latest photoshoot...   Earlier in their pregnancy, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez revealed that they were expecting a boy, but we never knew if the kid would have an American passport or not.  And now that a judge has grounded her here (for Nahla's sake), Olivier has confirmed that they'll proudly raise their son here in America. During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Olivier said, “My son will be an American, but I remain French.” Olivier, who's serving as the honorary president of the Champs-Elysées Film Festival, remarked to the magazine that there are some big differences between the French and American cultures....especially on the red carpet. He said, "I’m French — it’s less important. Meaning, I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there — but I’m still a foreigner." Lucky for us, Olivier is willing to playing ball with the Americans and walk the red carpet with his beautiful fiancee on his arm. He shrugged, "It’s not the first one, not the last [I've been on]...It’s part of the job.”     And behind the camera lens.....  KeKe Palmer posted a few photos and outtakes from a recent photoshoot.   KeKe, who recently wrapped up filming the "Full Circle" tv series and the bio pic Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story, was a little self-conscious about the scar on her leg, tweeting "From the shoot the other day!! #damnthatscaronmythigh".   It looks like KeKe is making a smooth transition from child star to an adult actress in Hollywood.  So what's next?  Keke revealed on Twitter she hopes to land a role in a horror film one day.  We'd love to see her as a scream queen!

Kanye's Alleged Jump Off Leyla Creates A Twitter Page...To Expose More "Proof" Posted: 12 Jun 2013 05:27 PM PDT Leyla Ghobadi caused some ruckus today when her major accusations (as told to Star magazine) of cheating with Kanye West since his girlfriend Kim K. has been pregnant heated up the internet streets.   Now, the Canadian model has gone and gotten her own Twitter page (two actually) to talk some more.  Deets inside... Earlier today, the Leyla chick created a Twitter page and defended herself against Kanye & Kim's PR teams calling her a liar.  Here's some snapshots from the first account she created:   Then later on today, she deleted that account and created a new one (that we haven't 100% verified is her but it seems that way).  She said "My old one hate too much hatred coming in!"  Shocker.   While Leyla says she's not revealing her cheating sexcapades with Kanye for fame, she says she revealed it because she "started to feel guilty."  And she's also requesting people to pretty much make her Twitter account blow up: Listen up everyone! If you want to know what really happened! Tag my name in your tweet! Yes, that doesn't sound like you're doing this for social media fame or anything?  But it gets better.  She tweeted this a couple hours ago: I have made a very huge mistake. I am very sorry @KimKardashian The basicness of it all.... With all that said, we can't help but actually believe this chick's story to a certain extent (wouldn't be surprised if she embellished for fame purposes).  It definitely wouldn't be the first time Kanye cheated on anyone, and stories like this are pretty much the norm in the industry.  Meanwhile, Kanye just posted a mini video of himself recording "I Am A God" on his website to promote his upcoming album, Yeezus.

TV BITS: Fantasia DISHES ON SINGING Andrea Bocelli, RETURNING To Broadway + Sanya Richard Ross REVEALS “Sanya’s Glam & Gold” PREMIERE Date + Shamicka Lawrence JOINS "Hollywood Exes" Posted: 12 Jun 2013 01:35 PM PDT Fantasia appeared on the TODAY Show where she discussed her tour with Andrea Bocelli and her return to Broadway.  Watch the clip inside and find out when WE tv will debut the new reality show starring Olympic champion gold medalist Sanya Richards Ross.  Also, find out the latest ex-wife who's headed to "Hollywood Exes."   Earlier this morning, "Lose To Win" singer Fantasia chatted it up with Kathie Lee and Hoda on the fourth hour of TODAY.  Fantasia, who's been doing concert dates with famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, promoted their upcoming performance with the New York City Orchestra later this evening at the Prudential Center.   During the interview, Fantasia talked about singing in Italian, raising her kids as a single mom and using her testimony to inspire fans.  She also announced that she'll return to Broadway in October 2013, but kept project deets under wraps.   During one light-hearted moment of the segment, Fantasia commented on Kathie Lee's jewelry and Kathie Lee responded by immediately taking the necklace off and giving it to her as a gift.  Watch the interview here: Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy And coming to the small screen this summer.... Four-time U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Sanya Richards-Ross has signed on for a new WE tv original docu-series, entitled “Sanya’s Glam & Gold.” Premiering Thursday, July 25th at 10pm ET/PT, the show will follow the track superstar's fast-paced life and high-profile marriage to NFL star Aaron Ross (who's won two Super Bowl Championships). The show was filmed primarily in Austin, Texas, which serves as the homebase for the couple who met in college at the University of Texas and married in 2010.  Speaking about the show in a WE tv press release, Sanya said, “I’m so thrilled to have this opportunity to open up my life and marriage to viewers and to introduce them to my incredibly supportive, and let’s be honest, sometimes-crazy family. I hope that in addition to being entertained by my journey since my victories last summer at the Olympic games, viewers will also identify with the challenges I face—and that all modern women face—to balance work, family, a husband and everything else life throws our way. There’s never a dull moment and things can sometimes get out of control, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Outside of Texas, the show also filmed in Jacksonville, Florida, New York City and Jamaica.  The show is helmed by executive producers Jason Carbone (Tia & Tamara, Run’s House) and Nick Lee (Run’s House, The Bachelorette).   In other tv additions..... There's a new high-profile addition to VH1's hit "Hollywood Exes" and she's the ex-wife of our fave sitcom boyfriend/hubby of 90s.  A new press release from VH1, has revealed that Shamicka Lawrence, the ex-wife of Martin Lawrence,  will join the current cast which includes Nicole Murphy, ex-wife of Eddie Murphy, Sheree Fletcher, ex-wife of Will Smith, Andrea Kelly, ex-wife of R. Kelly, Jessica Conseco, ex-wife of Jose Canseco, and Mayte Garcia, ex-wife of Prince. IndieWire posted a synopsis of this season... Drea, who has been spending her time between Chicago and Los Angeles, is not happy with Jessica for some choice words she shared with Drea on Twitter. After returning to L.A., she and Jessica will finally have it out, resulting in one of the most explosive - and honest - confrontations in the show's history. Meanwhile, Jessica struggles with being the single mom of a rebellious teenager - Josie has been acting out and her grades are slipping. Mayte, who has been desperate to have a child, makes plans to adopt a one-year-old baby. The others worry that everything is happening too fast - what if something goes wrong and Mayte loses another child? Finally, Shamicka's wounds from her divorce are still fresh - her divorce from Martin Lawrence was just recently finalized. Every day brings new challenges that only a Hollywood Ex can understand, but thankfully the others are there to help her find her way. We're wondering why Daphne Wayans wasn't included in the synopsis. Did she make the final cut? We heard rumbles producers may have put her of the show early. We shall see. The new season of "Hollywood Exes" premieres on July 8, 2013, at 10pm ET/PT, with 13 1-hour episodes.   Randomness: 1. Soledad O'Brien inks deal with HBO "Real Sports". Story. 2.

Roberto Cavalli's "PHOTOSHOP" Of Beyonce's Curves In Latest Press Release Is Causing DRAMA....Chime In Posted: 12 Jun 2013 10:14 AM PDT Photographers and advertisers love Beyonce....but her curves....not so much.  Or was it all just a sketch-like take on the curvy chick's much praised bod?   See the latest Beyonce "photoshop" controversy inside....   Earlier this year, the execs over at H&M felt the wrath of "Team Mrs. Carter" after they apparently tried to photoshop her famous curves during their swimsuit campaign.  Now, Robert Cavalli has also slipped some photoshop trickery into the mix. This week, the team over at Roberto Cavalli raised a few eyebrows after a press release of Beyonce wearing a gown they designed for The Mrs. Carter Show world tour went viral.   The document showed a rendering of Beyonce in the Cavalli gown, but with a slightly distorted body image.  Some folks are saying it was a flat out insulting and horrible photoshop job. In their defense, the brand did include actual images of Bey in the gown (showing off the finished product).  And the controversial image could simply be a cartoonish sketch (and sketches almost always show stick thin bodies in order to emphazize the clothes). The company responded to the "controversy" with a statement saying, 'Our purpose has always been to portray Beyoncé as the strong and beautiful woman she is. It has been a good working process and a close cooperation. Both parties are happy with the images.' Beyonce's camp has not spoken out about the controversy (after the pic surfaced on Tuesday) and we don't think they will.  It seems pretty clear that this was a caricature/artists' rendering of the garment itself that happens to be for Beyonce. Much ado about nothing?   Photos Roberto Cavalli/eonline
