RUMOR CONTROL: Wale Puts Twitter Sex Liar ON BLAST

Posted: 04 Mar 2012 07:02 AM PST

If you heard the rumor that Wale asked a female twitter fan via DM if he could eat her "lotus flower bomb," rest assured that it was the work of a Twitter impersonator and photoshopped tweets.  Now, Wale has lashed out and put his impersonator on blast.  See their exchange inside....

Wale got upset recently when a fake Twitter exchange between he and a female fan went viral.  During the exchange, the "Wale" account asked the fan if he could eat her "lotus flower bomb."  "He" then goes onto explain that LFB is booty. 

 

This got Wale really pissy so he posted a number of screenshots and exchanges to explain he was being impersonated by a fake twitter account and that he never made those comments.  And showed how the twitter liar admitted to photoshopping the tweets to make it seem like Wale sent them.  He said, "Sad thing is people do shit like this and niggas believe it."

But some fans took issue with Wale's approach to blasting the impersonator and this got Wale even more angry.

He responded by tweeting,

Two wrongs don't make a right but.. I'm not here to be righteous .. I'm fortunate enuff to have a team of niggas for shit like this

And for those who think his behavior was childish, he added,

We all petty .. And im immature too RT : the fact that admitted he's petty...pretty much makes him a winner in my book.

Did he go overboard?  Or was it warranted?

Newbie Rapper Azealia Banks GETS FLIRTY For "T" Magazine

Posted: 04 Mar 2012 05:32 AM PST

Buzz-worthy rapper Azealia Banks dons a sexy bodysuit for the latest issue of "T" Magazine.  See the pic and find out about her Harlem-upbringing inside.....

Harlem bred rapper Azealia Banks, who calls herself the “Young Rapunxel,” posed for a Terry Richardson photo in The New York Times "T" Magazine (on newsstands now).  She rocked a Rochas bodysuit with Dolce & Gabbana shoes and Solange Azagury-Partridge earrings for the shoot.

The up and coming rap chick has made a name for herself with her different rap style & beats and starting beef with other female rappers.

Inside the magazine, she talks about growing up with money in a poor area of Harlem:

“We lived in Harlem just, like, at the beginning of its gentrification…but my mom had our apartment since she was 18, she worked a retail job, but she worked on commission, so she made like, maybe, 75 or $80,000 a year, but our rent was so cheap since it was, like, rent-controlled, so our rent was, like, $300 a month for a two-bedroom apartment, so we always had extra money.”

She continued on how her mother spoiled her with everything a girl could want:

“I grew up very spoiled…like I had everything: I had computers, I had video games, I had dress-up clothes, I had lipstick, I had heels—not like, actual heels, play heels—I had dolls, I had birds, I had hamsters—my mom did a really good job of keeping me stimulated.”

Yep sure sounds like it.  Now the "212" chick is in London where she has been embraced by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. “Europe and the U.K. have just been sucking me up,” she joked.

Her album Broke with Expensive Taste (due September) to drop so we can see what the hype is about.

VIDEO: Rihanna Dishes To Jonathan Ross On Being Competitive With Other Chicks, Hating Singledom & Working Her Sexpot Image

Posted: 03 Mar 2012 03:05 PM PST

Rihanna--dressed in head to toe Boy London gear--appeared on London's Jonathan Ross chat show which aried tonight in the UK.  Check out the video of the full sitdown inside...

 

Rih hit up the Jonathan Ross show, which she taped last week and it aired tonight on ITV in the UK.  She performed "Talk That Talk" and chatted up the host about being a sexpot (but hating being single), why being competitive with Beyonce, Katy Perry, and other chicks in the game keeps women on top, and why "Barbadian" is the "correct term" to use, but she still uses Bajan.

Rih revealed why she thinks women are dominating the industry.  She says females are competitive and can't stand to see another woman doing better than themselves. She revealed, "As much as you guys have egos, our egos are a lot bigger.  We're just a lot better at hiding them."

The "Birthday Cake" singer said she worked 101 days last year and plans to focus mainly on acting this upcoming year.

And she caught up with Lionel Richie backstage as well.  Check out her full sitdown below:

By the way, she's currently shooting her "Where Have You Been" video in L.A.

Posted: 03 Mar 2012 01:28 PM PST

How appropriate.  Diddy & Cassie are in one of the most romantic cities together this weekend....Paris.  All to take in Paris Fashion Week...and each other.

 

Pics inside...

The newest Lady of Bad Boy (their words, not mine), Cassie Ventura, trotted overseas with her boss and rumored lover Sean "Diddy" Combs.  All to take in some Fashion Week shows.  The twosome was spotted hitting up the fashion retailer Colette before getting mobbed by fans today.  Well isn't that special...

Cassie rocked snakeskin leggings, sneakers, blazer and her hot McQueen clutch.

 

I was just about to ask why Diddy didn't take Cassie as his date to the Oscars last weekend.  Then I remembered Diddy was sitting close to his other boo Cameron Diaz that night.  Oh the web we weave...
