| Did Charlamagne Tha God GET JUMPED For Not Giving Shoutouts??!!! Posted: 11 Jul 2012 11:03 AM PDT Video of Charlamagne Tha God being assaulted by a group of thugs has been posted. Find out the crazy reason the radio personality got hit inside.... A group of men approached radio personality Charlamagne and asked him to give their CD a shootout on the radio. While he was trying to respond, someone struck him from behind. The radio host then took off sprinting down the street to avoid being jumped. Hmm....does this look staged? A little. Is this this for attention? Maybe. Or it could have been a serious situation. Charlamagne said, "I thought about fighting them dudes a couple of times, but that s**t would not have ended well." It looks a little suspect but we are happy he wasn't hurt. Watch it here:

She seems to have pulled it all together and is showing folks she's still the Queen.

| Robin Thicke: I WRECKED MY PORSCHE! And The Cops Gave Me A Ride.... Posted: 11 Jul 2012 08:39 AM PDT Oh snap! Singer Robin Thicke had to hitch a ride with LAPD last night...all because he wrecked his Porsche. Peep the pics and deets inside... The "Love After War" singer wasn't riding in a cop car for weed charges...again. This time, it's because his black convertible Porsche got into a bad collision with another motorist on Sunset Blvd. Tuesday night. According to reporters on the scene, the smash buckled a rear wheel of Robin's Porsche 911 Cabriolet, leaving it stranded in the middle of the highway. Cops took down Robin's story--and he seemed to be in good spirits and smoking his ciggie despite the drama--as a tow truck driver prepared to take his whip. So the helpful officers gave dude a lift home. Well it must be easy to smile when you make millions a year, despite your tax issues, and can easily replace your $100K+ ride. Pics: WENN  |
| SPOTTED: Toni & Tamar Braxton DINE OUT With Lady Gaga Posted: 11 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT
Reality stars Tamar and Toni Braxton and Vincent Herbert were spotted dining with Lady Gaga last night. See the pics inside....
Toni Braxton, her sister Tamar and Tamar's husband Vincent were all spotted dining with Lady Gaga at Mr. Chows Restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA. Vince signed Lady Gaga to his imprint label via Interscope back in 2007 and is one of the driving forces behind her success. So it's only right she has dinner with Vince & his wifey and sister-in-law. I wonder if there's any tension between Toni & GaGa after Toni decided to dump Vince as her manager--likely because of personal conflicts and him giving more attention to GaGa. And were other folks were mad they had to look at Gaga's exposed ass in this dominatrix outfit while they ate an expensive meal? Just wondering.... Photos via Splash  |

Tyra Banks posted a few pics on Instagram that got tongues wagging about her alleged relationship with one of her new "America's Next Top Model" judges. Check out her Jamaican modeleque pics with her rumored new boy toy inside.... Well if Jennifer Lopez can get away with getting it in with somebody damn near half her age who works for her...why can't Ms. Banks. Rumors started floating several weeks ago that new "Top Model" judge, Robert Evans, was getting all of Tyra's attention. And not just professional attention. Now that hottie Robert has replaced the exiled Jay Manuel & Miss Jay, he and Tyra have been rumored to be spotted having a champagne brunch in Newport beach, cuddled up around L.A., and now, in Jamaica cuddled up in the ocean. 38-year-old Tyra posted the above pic of her and 24-year-old boxer-turned-model Robert saying, 'U guessed it mon, I am irie in sexy Jamaica for #ANTM w/ @the_robevans!' And she posted a few extra pics likely to deflect the attention she knew the first one would receive. We're not mad Tyra. No need to hide it if it's true boo... Pics: Tyra's Twitter  |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2012 01:04 PM PDT Lil' Scrappy dished on last night's episode of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" where he dissed Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez. Get the deets inside and find out about Tyrese getting some sexual healing from a fan.....
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Lil' Scrappy got on the phone with Boss Lady and Scram Jones on Invasion Radio (Hip Hop Nation, Sirius/XM) today to talk about his fight with Stevie J and about Frank Ocean that aired last night. He said he beat Stevie J. so badly that VH1 edited the fight because, "They really didn't show nothing cause that shit would have been taken off the air." Let's just say.....Scrappy went way beyond catching one to the mouth and ending up on the round. So says he. And his parting words about Stevie J were that he's a "B*tch" and Joseline Hernandez is probably strapping up and screwing him. When it came to Frank Ocean, he revealed that his comments had been taken out of context. Last week, he told TMZ Live some controversial comments about the gay community:
He applauds Frank and does not have any negative feelings towards gays. He says he was just trying to say that men need to be upfront with women about their sexuality because it leads to complications when they aren't. Listen to Lil' Scrappy's interview here:
And in other interviews..... Tyrese chatted it up with The Boom Box where he revealed he had some sexual healing with a fan. You have a track on Open Invitation called "Walk (A Poem For My Fans)." What has been the most surreal fan experience that you've had? I'm going to be honest and say that women are very aggressive, and I think most male figures that have female fans that certain women say is sexy, attractive or whatever, we deal with a different type of attention from women. Without sounding self-consumed, I will say that one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had with a woman was after we finished rubbing bodies, she said to me, "I already knew what I was going to do to you before I even got here. This was well thought out. I've been with my man for five years, we just broke up, and I used to practice on him before I got to you." I called that pre-meditated sexual healing. I think a lot of times -- I mean, even me as a man, I think certain women are very sexy and attractive, and have the most ridiculous bodies ever, and as a man, you can't stop yourself from thinking of things that you would do to that woman if you had an opportunity to -- that's just what fantasizing is, but it was very weird to have her to say that to me after we finished. So it was like you just planned this whole thing out, huh? You showed up to the concert, wearing that dress, knowing what your intentions were. I thought that was pretty interesting. But I appreciate her ... in a major way. That was a good night -- fan appreciation. Well damn.  |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2012 12:11 PM PDT "Love & Hip Hop" star Erica Dixon called into The Breakfast Club to talk about her fight with Joseline Hernandez and her relationship with baby daddy Lil' Scrappy. Deets inside..... There really isn't much to love about the fu*kery that is LAHH ATL, but if we had to pick anybody that had potential to just make it in life, we're gonna go with Erica Dixon. The star of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" called into The Breakfast Club where she talked about Monday's episode where she was struck in the jaw by co-star Joseline Hernandez. She said the fight was edited, but that it stemmed from Stevie J. calling her a few names....and the "B" word was one of them. Erica said she wasn't expecting for Joseline to jump in the mix and accuse her of sleeping with Stevie either. And though it wasn't shown, she said Joseline hit her in the jaw. Throughout the interview, she constantly referred to Joseline as a "man." Erica also revealed that she's no longer with her baby's daddy Lil' Scrappy, but they are good co-parents. She also added that she has no bad feelings towards rapper Diamond because "It's not that deep." Oh.... Listen to The Breakfast Club interview here:
Watch the fight clip here from last night's episode below:
