| REALITY FAMILIES: Tamar & Toni Braxton OUT & ABOUT + LaLa & Kiyan Make An Ice Cream Run! Posted: 15 Mar 2012 10:27 AM PDT It's been a tough week for Knick fans. First rumors of star Carmelo Anthony wanting to leave the team surfaced (which he denies), then head coach Mike D'Antoni resigned. So Melo's wife LaLa & son Kiyan decided to de-stress with some serous dessert at Serendipity in NYC.
Pics of the mom & son duo, plus sisters Tamar & Toni Braxton, inside... Before heading to Madison Square Garden to watch hubby Melo help the Knicks break their losing streak against the Portland Trailblazers last night, LaLa Anthony brought their 5-year-old son Kiyan to Serendipity for an ice cream date! The cutesy duo looked relaxed on the unseasonably warm day. The Anthony family is readying the premiere of season 2 of "LaLa's Full Court Life" going down on the 19th.
And elsewhere in NYC last night: "Braxton Family Values" co-stars and sisters Tamar & Toni Braxton were spotted leaving their hotel. Toni went natural underneath her hat and looked cute as usual. And Tamar stopped to snap pics with fans: Anybody else loving this season of the show? That damn Gabe and Trina though.... By the way, "Her" is celebrating a birthday.com on the 17th. Happy early birthday Tamar! Pics via INF/SPLASH  |
| MORE PICS: Nicki Minaj Shows Off A$$ A$$ A$$ On The Hawaiian Video Set Of "Starships" Posted: 15 Mar 2012 09:36 AM PDT Nicki Minaj flaunted her ASSets in Hawaii yesterday as she filmed her new "Starships" video. See pics of her rocking a pink bikini with her fave green wiggery inside....

I bust out laughin.' She added, 'Can't wait 2get on set. Dem male modelz iz poppinton #starshipsvideo.'
Judging from the pics, we're not sure if the video is about her music or her body. Selling both these days is the standard.... "Starships" will appear on Nicki's upcoming LP Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (April 3).
She tweeted a cute cake today after they wrapped the vid and said: "And the Starships video is a wrap ladies & gents!!!!! Thank u Production!!!! This cake tastes like heaven!!!"
And got a little raunchy with the male models on set saying, "Pussies is throbbin. Like... #DeadDaFuckAss. I'm movin to Hawaii." Meanwhile, Nicki's "Super Bass" track just topped the 4 million mark this week. It's the 1st song by a female rapper to reach that plateau. Photos via Zeus/Apollo/  |

Former "America's Next Top Model" champ Eva Marcille is all over L.A. filming her upcoming reality show "Taking Hollywood" with all her Hollywood friends in tow. She and her girls were spotted getting flirty for the cameras while filming yesterday. Pics of the pretty ladies, plus Solange Knowles' new teaser video for her new Carol's Daughter project inside.... "Taking Hollywood" may just be the working title of her reality show for now, but Eva is indeed going forward with showcasing her life as a model...and party girl...in L.A. The series will follow the lives of Eva and her friends--music manager Kelly Marie Dunn (far right), Designer Nikki Chu (far left) & actress Denyce Lawton (to Eva's left). Fun fact: Denyce starred on "House of Payne" with Eva's then-fiance' Lance Gross back in 2008-2009. The ladies threw on their heels and most colorful looks to hit the streets with their reality show cameras: LOVES both of their wedges. And earlier yesterday, Eva rocked a different look while chillin' with her girl Denyce: Gonna need to do a sneak attack on Eva to jack these shoes... Cute looks for the ladies. They are so L.A. with it...
And Solange has a new project on the horizon. The Carol's Daughter spokesperson shot a video to tease the launch of the company's new venture -- TransitioningMovement.com.

| Cissy Houston Reportedly UPSET By Nick And Bobbi Kristina's RELATIONSHIP, Says "It's INCESTUOUS!" Posted: 15 Mar 2012 07:32 AM PDT  We told you earlier about the budding romance between Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina, and how they were spotted out yesterday partaking in some heavy PDA with each other (CHECK THOSE PICS HERE). And now Cissy Houston is saying she is NOT pleased about it. Deets inside..... TMZ reports that Bobbi's grandmother, Cissy Houston, revealed to a friend that she is not on board with what may or may not be going on with Bobbi Kris and Nick. In fact, she reportedly said, "What they're doing is incestuous." She said that Bobbi and Nick called each other brother and sister. Although Whitney never formally adopted Nick, and he is not of blood relation to the Houston family, he has spent a great part of his life living with the family. And now, reports say Cissy may ask the Whitney Houston Estate to evict Nick from Whitney's $1.2M townhome outside Atlanta where Bobbi Kristina is now residing. Cissy feels Nick may be preying on a vulnerable Bobbi Kris. Bobbi Kristina is a 19-year-old young woman so she is indeed an adult who can make her own decisions and is not at all blood related to Nick. But does Cissy have a point about her vulnerability?  |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2012 05:45 AM PDT First Lady Michelle Obama indeed had the blues last night. But in the most regal way possible. As she and her Presidential hubby welcomed British Prime Minister David Cameron & his wife Samantha Cameron, Mrs. Obama made a statement in an off-the-shoulder Marchesa evening gown.
Decide if we love it inside... Mrs. O, wearing the deepest shade of teal in a column silhouetted Marchesa gown draped off-the-shoulder, paired her understated glam look with a statement Tom Binns necklace. She welcomed Mrs. Cameron, who wore Alessandra Rich and black pumps. Pics of President & Mrs. Obama snapping official pics with The Camerons upon their arrival at the White House: Georgina Chapman (Marchesa's designer) and her longtime beau director Harvey Weinstein were guests for the evening. Along with George Clooney, Anna Wintour, and more. So, as for Mrs. Obama's look for the evening.... DO WE LOVE IT?!

| Posted: 14 Mar 2012 05:19 PM PDT  Nick Gordon is denying that he and Bobbi Kristina are dating; however, pics and video that have surfaced of the twosome out today suggest otherwise. Find out what he said inside..... Talking exclusively to ABCNews.com, Nick Gordon claims he and Bobbi Kristina, are not dating. "We're just close -- just going through her mom's passing and grieving together," he said. Rumors of a romance sparked shortly after the death of Whitney Houston to which he tweeted, , "Yeah, we got a little closer and what!!!" He later added to that tweet saying, "All the haters that don't know us or the real story can't unfollow me. I don't give a f**k." "I've proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don't owe any of you anything. Ha, I don't even know y'all haters. Some ppl [people] have no lives so they gotta be in ours," he added. And for anyone "unclear" about his closeness to the Houston family, he also shared, "For the stupid ppl out there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And, "She called me her "God Son." I swear some ppl in this world act like they don't have a brain …" But the question on everyone's lips is the status or his relationship with Bobbi Kris. Though Nick denies it, the two were spotted today picking up lunch and holding hands. During their stroll, Nick leaned in and kissed her forehard. I think for most people, the pics and video (see them here) would suggest their relationship is clearly "intimate" (if you know what we mean). Thoughts?  |

You can just call it hatin' a** "friends," but someone from ATL Housewife Phaedra Parks' past is alleging that her husband Apollo Nida isn't the ONLY "criminal" in the household. In fact, a former friend says Phaedra knows all about insurance check fraud, auto theft and racketeering. Deets inside.....

Here are some highlights from Angela's interview that hit the net today: “After about a year or so, I guess she became a little more comfortable with our relationship and that’s when she introduced me to Apollo. Once she introduced me to Apollo … once she introduced me to Apollo, it was strictly a business relationship that the two of them had. And at that time, they were making fraudulent insurance checks.” "I ended up catching a charge and going away to prison. On my first trip to prison, I only did four months, but while I was away at prison, Apollo had also got arrested. So when he got arrested … I finally got out after doing my four months, Phaedra and I got back together again … and we were all involved in a federal racketeering scheme against the federal government.” “Stealing Porches, Hummers, Cadillacs, Corvettes, any hot whip at that time, we had it! We would basically go to the car lot and write down the VIN numbers of the vehicles that we felt as if we wanted to keep or would make a good sale … “ Do you believe this ish? Everybody knows you should keep your so-called friends close...

| Posted: 14 Mar 2012 02:38 PM PDT Vivica A. Fox covers the latest issue of "DENIM" Magazine where the gorgeous actress dishes on the industry and offers advice to a young 19-yr-old Vivica. Get the deets inside.... Miss Vivica A. Fox hopped a flight to Mississippi to allow The Dream Team from DENIM to capture everyside of Vivica known and unknown! She then dished advice to her "younger" self for her cover story: DENIM: If you could back in time, what advice would you give to the 19 year old Vivica breaking into the business? VIVICA: Study your craft. If you want to be an actress-know that it is a craft and you have to know what you are doing. There's going to be a lot of rejection. You have to have a strong belief in yourself and become a triple threat. Learn to sing, dance, and act-you never know what roles will be required of you. DENIM: What drives you as an actress and woman? VIVICA: Taking advantage of all the opportunities and blessings. I find that the key to longetivity is versatility - especially for my career. I have my own hair line, I produce film, television, and host events. I try to be versatile and do a lot of things; that way it keeps me busy. More pics from her spread: Chick's break up has done her well. Viv's looking great these days. Watch the behind the scenes footage below: The Randomness: 1. Shakeup on the NY Knicks! Head coach Mike D'Antoni has resigned. STORY  |
| Chaundrea Nicolle Claps Back Saying "Rich Dollaz Is Lying," REVEALS Private Texts Posted: 14 Mar 2012 01:31 PM PDT We exclusively told you yesterday about the drama brewing between "Love & Hip Hop" co-star Rich Dollaz and Chaundrea Nicolle over Rich's alleged paternity of her 12-year old daughter named Christie....and it just got even nastier. Chaundrea reached out to TheYBF.com and provided several texts that dispute the claims Rich made about his willingness to see his alleged daughter and to take a DNA test.
See the texts inside..... Chaundra Nicolle was livid when Rich Dollaz told TheYBF.com that he would take a DNA test to prove paternity for her daughter. So now, she has provided texts (some of which she also tweeted) and a strongly worded email about the situation. Read her letter in full below:
Chaundrea then tweeted last night:
The following texts were sent to us from Chaundrea and we have blocked out Rich's number. On several texts, the question of paternity seems "resolved" but the DNA issue still lingers. There are also a few insults about career, character and integrity. It's very messy:

| Posted: 14 Mar 2012 12:01 PM PDT Melanie Fiona may be focusing on dropping her sophomore album, The MF Life, on March 20th, but what's making the press is her recent breakup. With a hot actor we didn't even realize she was dating. Deets inside on what HE had to say about the breakup, plus Tichina Arnold dishing on her engagement and tv role on "106 & Park".... Remember when the sexy "CSI: Miami" actor Adam Rodriguez appeared in Melanie Fiona's debut video "It Kills Me?" Well it looks like they took their steamy relationship off-screen as well because the two have reportedly broken up after being in a relationship for a while. Who knew?! A source told the NY Post: “They kept their relationship under wraps. They’d avoided attending events together or even being photographed when possible." Adam's rep confirmed to the Post that he and Mel broke up in the past month, but the split was “very nice” and they’re still friends. “Adam still cares about her,” the rep said. And if you're wondering if all those songs about cheating and heartbreak Mel sings about on her new LP ("4AM," "Wrong Side of Love") are about their relationship, Adam's rep says they're not: “Adam knows about all of those songs, but they were written months ago — they were very happy together.” Oh wells. Melanie's been looking fabulous lately so we don't doubt she'll be bouncing right back. She recently dished about heart break during her "Breakfast Club" interview saying: "...you just get to that point where you are so in love with somebody that you are just willing to accept all of the things that they do to you," she added. "It’s really not okay and I know that I consider myself to be a strong intelligent woman. So when emotions get the best of you, it’s really hard to break that cycle but when you do, then you got to find strength in it and put it in music. You let other people know that you’re not immune to it." "The minute I don’t feel like I’m respected as an equal in that relationship," she says. "That’s a wrap."
And in happier news, Tichina Arnold made her "106 & Park" debut last night and showed off her new engagement ring. She's engaged to her man Rico Hines. And even kicked a freestyle after talking about her second season role on Fran Drescher's hit "Happily Divorced" sitcom. Check the video:
