Keyshia Cole Gets Surprised By FREE On "106 & Park"! Posted: 21 Nov 2012 08:50 AM PST It was all smiles and surprises on yesterday's "106 & Park".

SORRY Y'ALL: Rihanna Wraps Up Whirlwind Publicity Tour & Apologizes To Media & Fans For 7-7-7 FIASCO Posted: 20 Nov 2012 06:47 PM PST As Rihanna wraps up her 7-7-7 tour in Manhattan tonight, it's not ending without controversy. Check out how the Unapologetic diva actually apologizes to the media and fans accompanying her on tour over lack of access.... As we previously reported, folks aboard Rihanna's private 777 jet for her 7-7-7 tour have been pissy all week with Rih Rih and her people. The 150+ media and fans complained about having barely any access to Rihanna during this entire 7-day, 7-country publicity tour for her Unapologetic album, outside of catching a glimpse of her at baggage claim and drinks the first day. Not to mention their lack of sleep and food and non conducive living conditions, according to several on-site media folks. At one point, a male Aussie media person streaked naked on the plane after complaining of delirium and long hours of wait time on tarmacs and no food or sleep. People stated it was a mutiny on board and chanted "Just One Quote" and put out fake "Missing: Rihanna" flyers. And it wasn't the dream trip everyone on board thought it would be...it was actually a nightmare some say. So Rih took to the PA system today, from her luxe first class seat, as they jetted back to the states from overseas, to apologize for lack of access to her:
Well folks on board--who dubbed the trip Occupy 777--can look at the bright side. They've got new stamps in their passports...for free. Well, in exchange for listening to Rihanna sing every night. You can also check out her last stop that went down earlier today in NYC at Webster Hall and then Best Buy. Instead of performing like she did in every other city, she hit the stage to pass out signed cds of her album that dropped today. And did a Q&A session:

Frank Ocean opens up about "coming out" and his sexuality in the GQ's "Men Of The Year" issue. Find out what he said inside and see Nicki Minaj on "GMA" dishing on "American Idol" and her admiration for Mariah Carey. In the latest issue of GQ magazine, Frank Ocean talks to the magazine about his childhood, his sexuality and his decision to "come out" in such a big way. Also, he and his Odd Future friends model the latest sport coats for the season. Growing up, he revealed that he hasn't spoken to or seen his father since he was 6, and his grandfather (a recovering drug addict) served as his paternal role model. He described him as a quiet man who spoke very little and always seem to have a lot on his mind. He credits his hard-working mom with inspiring his own work ethic. He said beecause she wanted to become middle class, she worked and went to school (gaining a master's degree from University of New Orleans) and took Frank to all of her classes. And when it comes to sex and sexuality, Frank opens up without revealing too much. He doesn't seem to believe in labels or putting himself in a box but is painfully aware that others will do this and it will impacts his sales. However, he seems comfortable about his choices and wants people to focus on his music and creative side....not who he's sleeping with. Here are the highlights:
See Odd Future's photoshoot here:
Earlier this morning... Nicki Minaj appeared on "GMA" where she discussed her two AMA wins and her upcoming role as a judge on "American Idol."

She added,

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 03:26 PM PST Cecil Singleton, the second accuser in the Kevin Clash sex scandal, held a press conference where he revealed he didn't have sex with Kevin until after he was 18, but they did engage in sexual activites while he was underage. Watch the video inside... Cecil Singleton has filed a sexual abuse lawsuit in New York saying he and puppeteer Kevin Clash engaged in sexual activites when he was underage. During a press conference held earlier today, he clarified that he and Kevin DID NOT have sex while he was under 18 but did engage in sexual acts including "groping, masturbation, intense kissing, dry-humping" while he was 15. He maintains that they did not begin a sexual relationship until after he was of age. While we are not sure if what happened between the ages or 15 and 18 is illegal in the state of New York, Cecil is still seeking $5 Million for psychological and emotional issues caused by the relationship.

HAIRYTALES: Jaden & Willow Smith ROCK WILD DYE Jobs In Their HAIR Posted: 20 Nov 2012 02:25 PM PST Hollywood royalty Jaden and Willow Smith were seen rocking multiple colors in their hair recently. See pics of their colorful hairdos inside....
The Smith kids arrived at LAX yesterday sporting a few colors of the rainbows in their hair. Willow, who recently made a trip to Capitol Hill to raise awareness about human trafficking, wore her hair pulled to the top in a small beehive with purple highlights. Though Willow's brother Jaden looked a bit more conservative from the front..... His dye-job was a bit more dramatic than Willow's hair. While the front of his head seemed to harken back to his Dad's days as the Fresh Prince, the back was dyed blond and blue (producing a light green color in some spots). The pair arrived at LAX with Mom Jada, who was looking fashionable as usual in a black trench coat with fur trim.

After many ups and down in the music industry, singer K. Michelle has finally found her footing and signed a major recording deal with Warner Bros. As her struggle has been documented on the reality show "LAHH ATL," K. Michelle has garnered many fans and supporters as she's shared stories from her past (including allegations of domestic abuse and missteps in the music industry). She shared her excitement with Singersroom saying,
Congrats K. Michelle!
In movie news...... As Tyler Perry gears up for a big year with OWN (as he is producing several scripted projects) he's also announced plans to produce, direct and star in the upcoming film Single Moms Club. The film follows four single mothers from different walks of life who are brought together by an incident at their children's school. So far, William Levy and Zulay Henao have signed on for the film which is due in 2013. Also, Tyler recently wrote the forward for a book called Joining Forces: Empowering male Survivors to Thrive by Dr. Howard Franklin. He posted to Facebook,
And in casting news..... According to London's Evening Standard, Lenny Kravitz has been cast as the legendary Marvin Gaye in an upcoming biopic. The film, which will be directed by British filmmaker Julian Temple, will focus on Marvin's late career when he lived in the United Kingdom and struggled with money woes and alcohol addiction. But just like the upcoming biopics on Nina Simone and Jimi Hendrix, the "family" isn't on board for the film. The paper reports that Janis Gaye, Marvin's second and last wife, has said she feels “very sceptical” about the project. So far, Marvin's daughter Nona Gaye (who's also a singer) hasn't spoken out about the project. BONUS:
K. Michelle has also landed herself a KING cover for "The Reality Issue". The month of December has two covers, one featuring K. Michelle and one featuring "BBW LA" star Brooke Bailey.

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 09:44 AM PST Kevin Clash, famously known as the voice of Elmo on "Sesame Street," has resigned from the show AND a second individual has come forth with claims of underage sex. Get more infomation inside..... As we've followed the Kevin Clash scandal, which included allegations of underage sex (which were later recanted), the puppeteer has now officially resigned from "Sesame Street" with the company releasing a statement about the situation earlier today.
As we told you previously, Sesame Workshop claimed their own investigation found that the original allegations were baseless; however, now that a second accuser has come forth (after filing court docs in New York) the timing of the statement seems suspicious. Did this second set of allegations lead to the resignation? No one can say for certain, but the new accuser, Cecil Singleton, is certainly providing more insight into the private life of Kevin (which may or may not be true).
Cecil claims Kevin "...trolled gay telephone chat line rooms to meet and have sex with underage boys." Cecil, who's now in his 30s, says he and Kevin met on a gay phone chat line back in 1993 when he was 15-years-old and Kevin was 32. Cecil also says in the lawsuit that Kevin was "preying on teenage boys to satisfy his depraved sexual interests" and that he's coming forward now (20 years later) because he "did not become aware that he had suffered adverse psychological and emotional effects from Kevin Clash's sexual acts and conduct until 2012." Oh....and he wants more than $5 million (now that he is aware of what he went through). SMH TMZ reports the first accuser recanted his recant, saying he was forced into saying the claims were a lie because he was paid off, and he actually WAS 16 when he had sexual relations with Kevin. But we have yet to hear that from the accuser's own mouth. We thought this case would go away after the first accuser recanted, but now we see there's much more to come. This won't end well...
