Tamar, Keyshia Cole, 2 Chainz, Elle Varner & MORE Prep For The 2012 Soul Train Awards Posted: 08 Nov 2012 08:54 AM PST Over in Las Vegas, celebs are prepping for tonight's taping of the 2012 Soul Train Awards. Check out Tamar Braxton, Keyshia Cole, 2 Chainz & more getting their rehearsal on inside... Will Tamar get a chance to show off those skills of hers she's been trying to put on display for years now? She was indeed at the rehearsals yesterday at Planet Hollywood's PH Live--and may be taking the stage tonight. In some way.... Not sure exactly why 2 Chainz needs to rehearse....since he just speaks in his songs saying the same 5 words over and over. But to each their own. Best R&B/Soul Male Artist nominee Miguel prepped for his set. Keyshia Cole will be belting out a performance during tonight's taping.
Hey John Legend. He's nominated with Ludacris for Song of the Year for "Tonight (Best You Ever Had)".
Host Cedric The Entertainer was on hand for the run-throughs. And cutie Elle Varner, who is nominated for Best New Artist, rocked her rehearsal in a cute look. Soul Train Awards 2012 will air on BET and Centric on Sunday, November 25th at 9pm. The Randomness: 1. A mother in Kenya who just gave birth to newborns named her babies Barack Obama & Mitt Romney. Sigh. STORY 2. Jermaine Jackson says he wants to legally change his last name to a different spelling--Jacksun--for "artistic reasons". STORY Pics: Paras Griffin |
Rihanna SEXES IT UP On The Runway & Pink Carpet At The 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Posted: 08 Nov 2012 07:44 AM PST
Pop singer Rihanna was Unapologetic about doing what she does best last night--selling her sex appeal. She strutted down the catwalk with dozens of hot models for the 2012 Victoria's Secret show taped in NYC. See video and the hot photos inside....
Last night, international pop chick Rihanna walked the pink carpet at the Lexington Avenue Armory for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. The show, which featured performances from Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, will air Dec. 4.
She did tons of press to promote the upcoming release of Unapologetic, including an interview with EXTRA correspondent AJ Calloway.
Then chick hit the runway in the sexiest get-ups she could find (and that will be allowe don network tv): She rocked a black corseted gown with a thigh-high spilt (revealing a garter belt). Rocking lace gloves, a pearl choker and matching pearl-studded sunglasses, she performed her single "Diamonds." She still managed to be the center of attention showing off those legs & that skin, even when standing next to Doutzen Kroes. Supermodel Joan Smalls also shined bright like a diamond on the catwalk. And later....she went up in flames with rings of fire.
As for Rih's change-ups: She also rocked a sheer pink mini to belt out "Fresh Out The Runway." She got so caught up in seeing the pretty models and lingerie that she had to reach out and touch it for herself. Y'all know how she does it.
At the end of the show, she greeted her adoring fans, alongside the models, at the end of the catwalk.
And the view from backstage..... Rih Rih kicked it with the gorgeous models tweeting #LEGITmodelShit I'm a #VS girl now lol She summed up the "experience" of being backstage saying, "1 big room, full o bad bitches." Sounds about right. Fun times! Watch video clips here: Photos via PacificCoastNews.com/Bryan Bedder/Getty Images North America

BACK HOME: The Obamas Make Post-Election Arrival To The White House Posted: 08 Nov 2012 06:48 AM PST It was a family affair as the First Family headed back home to the White House from their other hometown of Chicago after Tuesday's election. Yesterday, President Obama escorted his wife First Lady Michelle, and their daughters, Sasha & Malia, back to DC via Air Force 1 & Helicopter 1.
Pics of the fab fam inside.... After an extremely long & we're sure, stressful, night of awaiting Presidential election results, the Obama fam made their way back home to DC to get back to work. Hopefully Mr. President has time for at least a quick nap now that the election is over, but maybe not. Now that he's won 4 more years....it's time to get to work smoothing over the seemingly impossible relations with the Republicans:
Our First Lady looked fly as usual, while Sasha & Malia rocked their casual looks of cute jeans and tees too.
Sahsa even rocked a cute Obama bag to support her dad. Welcome back First Fam! Pics: Getty |

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 10:50 AM PST Ice Cube has spoken out about the next and final installment in the "Friday" series saying it will get made whether Chris Tucker is involved or not. Get the deets on what the rapper said about Chris coming on board and his plans for an upcoming movie on NWA inside.... Rapper Ice Cube chatted with the HuffPost recently where he opened up about his latest cd, Everythang's Corrupt, and discussed upcoming movie projects involving NWA and the Friday series. While discussing the Friday movies, Ice Cube addressed comments Chris Tucker made about "doubts" that the "magic" will still be there. He said you can't comment on whether the "magic" is there when they've haven't begun filming or even tried anything out. Cube added that "One person isn’t going to stop the show." Hmmm...we guess that's a nice way of saying Chris can be replaced...if he doesn't act right. He also talked about an upcoming movie he's producing about NWA and who he wants to play him. Here are the highlights:
Everythang's Corrupt will hit stores in January 2013. Check out Huff Post's full interview HERE.
