HE'S HERE: Tamera Mowry & Adam WELCOME BABY ADEN HOUSLEY! Posted: 13 Nov 2012 08:47 AM PST Their baby boy is finally here!  Tamera Mowry-Housley & hubby Adam Housley welcomed their brand new son Aden into the world late last night.  Deets inside... She seemed to be pregnant forever (she was 2 weeks past the due date!).  But now, 33-year-old actress Tamera Mowry can say HELLO to her newborn baby boy, Aden John Tanner Housley.  She gave birth to her son late yesterday in L.A.  And now that her twin sis, Tia, has written a book about everything pregnancy and newborns, Tamera's already got tons of advice at her fingertips. Tamera & Adam, who have been married for a year and a half, have been tweeting for weeks about their growing impatience for Aden's arrival .  They couldn't wait any longer to meet their bundle of complete joy.  Tamera tweeted recently: "Had a dream about my son. Woke up wanting to hold him.  Oh wait, haven't delivered yet. So I rubbed my belly instead. Can't wait to kiss his face."  Now the "Tia & Tamera" star's dreams are a reality.  She gave a statement to the Style network saying: "Adam and I feel very blessed to finally be holding our son.  He is a beautiful miracle, and our hearts are overflowing with love. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. It means so much to our family." Weighing in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces, baby Aden already has the best playmate--his 1-year-old cousin Cree Hardrict!  Tia tweeted today: Yay!!! I can finally now say! I am an auntie!!!! Can we say chunk munk!!! So happy & blessed! Cree now has a play date! He is [beautiful]! Oh the utter playdate cuteness that will ensue... Congrats Tamera & Adam!  Check out their nursery HERE.

Swizz Beatz DENIES His Tax Money Issues On "106 & Park" Posted: 13 Nov 2012 07:53 AM PST Swizz Beatz and Nick Cannon both stopped by "106 & Park" yesterday to discuss their upcoming projects and Swizzy cleared up false reports about his tax woes.  Watch their segments inside.... Swizz Beatz stopped by "106 & Park" last night with Bow Wow & Miss Mykie to promote his new music video “Everyday Birthday” and to talk about his charitable works.  The award-winning producer donated $10,000 to the “Sandy Relief Efforts” via Hot 97. And when it comes to the tax issues that hit the net yesterday, Swizz admitted that he did have issues in 2006, but as it stands now, he is current on his taxes. He said he's tired of people making up lies about him and his finances and it's time that he speak up for himself.  He even provided documents to TMZ, the original source of the story, to prove that he paid his 2010 taxes in full.  Looks like somebody had old info. Watch Swizz discuss his taxes here:   Also on "106 & Park"....    "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon talked about the handful of projects he has in the works including a revamped version of "Wildin Out," the Drumline sequel and “The Real Husbands of Hollywood.”      Nick (who posed with hosts Jordan "Shorty da Prince" Johnson and Kimberly "Paigion" Walker),  also encouraged fans to support the 4th annual TeenNick HALO Awards which he started to honor teenagers who give back to their communities.    The 2012 TeenNick HALO Awards airs Monday, November 19th at 8pm et on Nick@Nite.  Love when celebs do fab events for a cause.

Rihanna's Sexy 2012 GQ Outtakes, Talks Turn-Ons & Lame Music Posted: 13 Nov 2012 07:05 AM PST After posing on the Men of the Year 2012 GQ cover in literally nothing but a cropped leather AllSaints jacket draped over her shoulders, Rihanna had the internet in a tizzy yesterday.  Now, check out the equally sexy outtakes and a few highlights from her cover story inside... She's got a slim and curvy bod that even gives the straightest of chicks a little quiver, and she loves to show off her chi chis with that new breasticle tattoo of hers. So it's no surprise Rihanna's wearing next to nothing and giving all kinds of side-boob action (in Stella McCartney panties and Alejandro Ingelmo sneakers above) in her newest GQ shoot. By the way, she's the first woman to cover the Men of the Year issue.  Check out the highlights and outtakes below: On sticking to her artistic vision "Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn't like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery." On her highly sexual personality "That comes from my culture. That's just the way it's always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious....I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about 'Oh, you're a sex symbol,' it just makes you think, 'Why are you saying that?' And I figured it out." On what turns her on "I like to feel like a woman.  I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead." On not making lame music "I want to make music that's hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or supersentimental.  I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you're going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw." On that Drake & Chris Brown club fight "There's no proof of that being for my love. That's my answer to that question."   And an interesting first hand account from the GQ writer who was with Rihanna (for the evening-long interview) at the Griffin nightclub back in October--when both Chris & Rihanna were starting to take their flirtations public: Chris Brown brashly stands on top of his bench in the neighboring booth. He and Rihanna start tossing flirtatious glances like kids passing notes in middle-school math class. The smirks and the playfulness continue until they're dancing with each other from afar. Then, out of mock frustration, Brown climbs over the top of the booth. A mischievous tingle of controversy vibrates through the club.   Check out the full story HERE.   More outtakes: Shiesser panties from Opening Ceremony Cosabella panties, Manolo Blahnik pumps and a Rick Owens top Shirt, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci at Barneys New York AllSaints jacket and Cartier bracelet Photographs by Sebastian Kim, Mario Sorrenti / GQ

Tyra Banks COVERS "ARISE" Magazine, REVEALS Her GUILTY PLEASURES Posted: 13 Nov 2012 05:53 AM PST Model mogul Tyra Banks graces the cover of the November issue of ARISE Magazine. Find out what she revealed about her guilty pleasures and earliest fashion memories inside.... 38-year-old Tyra Banks--in a black & white layout shot by Seiji Fujimori--posed for the cover of ARISE Magazine this month where she dishes on what people don't know about her, her guilty pleasures, and her happiest moments.  Here are the highlights: What are most people surprised about you? That I don't have the personality I have on America’s Next Top Model [AMTM]. I don't say 'Your pictures are not fierce, you're not smizing and hello nice to meet you'. It's a character that I created, but it's not really me. I'm more like I am on my talk show, that's not me trying to be a thing. On Top Model it's a character… it just so happens the character’s named Tyra Banks, but she's not me. It's easy to get into character now, so I don't have to think about it. I don't do it as much as I used to – I have a lot more me now. [But on AMTM] you sit behind a desk and she just appears. Happiest moments? Driving my car on the weekends... far. Washing my make-up off at the end of the day... it just feels damn good, it's really me when I look at the mirror. I'm like 'That’s who she is, they don't know her'. [And] making young girls feel good, having a young girl coming up to me and me complimenting her on something physically and see her face light up, that just makes me happy. Guilty pleasure? Popping pimples! Favourite word? Smize. It was an accident so that's why I like it. I created this word because for years on Top Model I'd say smile with your eyes, smile with your eyes. I’m always watching myself, because I watch it [the show] more than the average person as I’m in the editing bay, and I'd be like ‘This is so long’ and one day I was like ‘smize!’ What gives me satisfaction is I've been in a restaurant totally incognito in the corner and there's a group of girls who don't know I'm there and they’re like 'Let’s take a group picture... smize!' And I'm like 'Oh my gosh'. I'm proud of that word. Life philosophy? Have tunnel vision but do not forget your personal life. I'm all about teaching people to go for your goals, work extra hard, tunnel vision, tunnel vision. Now I say have tunnel vision but don't forget your personal life. Now I talk to them about not forgetting your friends; yes you have to sacrifice but don't forget your family, don’t forget if you want to have children. I waited too late for all of that. So I feel it's important to have the balance, and I'm learning that now. Earliest fashion memory? Me sitting on the edge of the bath tub while my mother beats her face [i.e. puts on a tonne of make-up]. That's where I learnt to be a drag queen – from my mother. She likes a lot of make-up and I like a lot. What advice would you give to a stranger who doubted themselves? I'd tell them to do something my mum says: look to the other side, and that this moment of self-doubt and not feeling good about yourself is fleeting and it’s not gonna last. Write down what you’re feeling bad about and then write down some solutions to get out of it. And even if you don’t have a solution, even just writing down what's bad will help as it gets out of your system. Close your eyes and lie down and imagine a month or tomorrow or a year from now when you’re past this. Imagine what it looks like and what does that feel like. Now work backwards to make that a reality. Gorgeous pics Ty Ty!

Rihanna GETS NAKED For GQ's "Men Of The Year" Issue, Releases "Diamonds" (Remix) Ft.

"I am so excited about the 777 Tour," said Rihanna. "We are turning this jumbo jet into our tour bus. We're practically living on this thing for a week: sleeping, partying, all together. Me, my fans, the press...it's going to be a wild ride. I wanted it to be a rock n' roll adventure, and I think when it's over it will be the coolest thing I've ever done. I'm that excited about it." Rihann's camp will announce the venue for the performance once she gets to the city. Here are tour dates:   NOVEMBER 14th IN MEXICO CITY; NOVEMBER 15th IN TORONTO; NOVEMBER 16th IN STOCKHOLM; NOVEMBER 17th IN PARIS; NOVEMBER 18th IN BERLIN; NOVEMBER 19th IN LONDON; NOVEMBER 20th IN NEW YORK CITY Listen to the "Diamonds" (Remix) featuring Flo Rida here:

She's rocking a blonde afro and gets intimate with her gorgeous co-star. Watch it above.   In other music videos.....   Kelly Rowland has released an extended teaser for her "Ice" video. Directed by Matthew Bolston and shot in an old ice factory, the teaser shows Kelly dancing very seductively with a male dancer and leaving very little to the imagination. Her former Destiny's Child bandmate, Michelle Williams, said the sexy dance moves made her blush and cover her eyes. And when asked about the track, Kelly said the song was about love making that is so hot it's cold...and so cold that it's hot. Alrighty then.   In other Kelly Rowland music clips... Kelly stars alongside Sir Lucious Left Foot aka Big Boi in his latest video "Mama Told Me." In the BTS video, both artists talk about with director Syndrome and the inspiration behind the song.  Watch it above.

Joseline Hernandez BLASTS Stevie J For Being A DRUG ADDICT, Abuser & On The DOWN-LOW?? Posted: 12 Nov 2012 11:02 AM PST   Drama in Joseline & Steebie land!  Reality tv star Joseline Hernandez went off on Twitter yesterday with a rant that brought up allegations of drug abuse, unprotected sex and "down low" activities...all directed at her co-star (and sometimes lover) Stevie J.  Is this for attention or for real? See the twitter foolery inside..... Either Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J are mixing ish up for an explosive storyline for season 2 of "LAHH ATL" or the twosome have really called it quits.  We all watched Joseline break down on the "LAHH ATL" reunion while talking about how Stevie J changed her life, but her recent rant on Twitter may suggest she's done with his drama.  And there's a lot of it.   First.....Joseline "outed" a "certain" undercover dude she's dealing with....   Then come the drug abuse allegations (to which Stevie J acutally responds)   And then there was the insinuation about "unprotected sex" and not caring about one's health... Ew. Though Joseline came across like she was under Stevie J's spell on LAHH ATL," it SEEMS she chosen to walk away from him...       Monsters?  Something tells us she's NOT talking about the spooky characters kids have nightmares about...     We guess we won't see how this ends until next season hits the airwaves....but we're sure when Mona Scott gets a wind of this she'll have the cameras ready.
