| ISLAND VACAY: Denzel Washington & His Fam Hit ANGUILLA For His 58th Birthday! Posted: 29 Dec 2012 09:06 AM PST
Flight actor Denzel Washington is on his annual yacht vacay around his favorite luxe caribbean cities. Pics of Denzel taking his wife, Pauletta, and their son pulling up to Anguilla for his birthday inside... Denzel and Pauletta were spotted sipping champagne in St. Baths the day before. And for Denzy's 58th birthday yesterday, the couple and their son yachted over to the nearby island of Anguilla (where they have also been going for years) for the 2012 Anguilla Festive. And to hit the golf courses with legendary athletes Michael Jordan and Gary Sheffield, who we hear are also in Anguilla for the Holiday: They hopped off their yacht to hit up a fabulous beach, then took their small boat back to their massive yacht. Must be nice... Pics: Splash  |
| VIDEO VIXENS Suing Tyga For Exposing Their NIPPLES + Katt Williams ARRESTED For Child Endangerment Posted: 29 Dec 2012 07:14 AM PST
Three "topless" video vixens are suing rapper Tyga for exposing their nipples in his "Make It Nasty" video. Find out what led to the lawsuit inside and get details about Katt Williams child endangerment arrest and views on guns and safety... Earlier this month, Tyga released his "Make It Nasty" video. Now, three of the scantily clad video vixens in the clip are suing the rapper for breach of contract. In a lawsuit filed by Alissa Rae Ross, Azia Davis and Elizabeth Velasquez, the trio "agreed" to appear topless during the filming of the video after they were assured that their nipples would be covered and the video would be tastefully shot. Or as least as tasteful as a "nasty" video from a strip club anthem rapper could be. Things were fine (the edited video was a hit)...until Tyga decided to post the unedited version on his Twitter account where the ladies' nipples were fully exposed. They are now suing the rapper for breach of contract, invasion of privacy, as well as fraud. The video is below: What's with video chicks and strippers suing for ish in their job descriptions? You're a video chick in a NASTY video....and you're shocked and outraged it wasn't "tastefully shot"? Why not wear pasties if you were so concerned about your nipples being shown and ruining your 'classy' image? I mean, we all know that bouncing your exposed ass and coochie crack on men and other women while wearing damn near nothing is ONLY distasteful if your nipples are shown. Sounds just like the chick (who may or may not be a stripper) suing Trey Songz because he threw money at her in a strip club. But we digress. And in police custody news.... Katt Williams could possibly ring in the new year without his kids as he was taken into police custody recently and his kids were taken away. Katt, who has mentioned his "children" during his comedy routine on several occasions, was jailed recently for possible child endangerment. After a VERY public string of arrests and assaults, it's only natural that a light bulb would go off at the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services that he might need to be investigated. And they did. They showed up at Katt's home in Woodland Hills, CA and found numerous guns and illegal drugs leading them to conclude that his home was a safety hazard for the kids. Last night, Katt was released from jail (on $100,000 bail) and TMZ caught up with him to question his kids safety and he responded, "How do you keep kids safe without guns?" Also, Katt claims the guns were secure, "If the police come in and raid my place and break into my gun boxes, you're gonna find guns! I'm not in a gang, what difference does it make?" So what about the drugs? Katt said that weed is not a drug and we know from his previous run-ins with the law that he does indeed have a permit for medical marijuana. Sadly, the D.A. may still bring possible felony child endangerment charges. We'll keep you posted....  |
| Kanye's Atlantic City Performance Outfit Looks Like _________ Posted: 29 Dec 2012 06:06 AM PST So Kanye West kicked off his 3-night residence at the Revel Resort & Casino in Atlantic City last night. And THIS is what he hit the stage wearing. Decide what we're going to call this look... The all white tunic and pants and Maison Martin Margiela mask outfit have been called everything on Twitter from a Yeti to frozen sperm. But you decide. Kanye's outfit looks like ___________.

| FAMILY FAB: The Cannons Land DOWN UNDER, Yacht Around Australia's Gold Coast Posted: 28 Dec 2012 02:46 PM PST These Cannon twins have more passport stamps than most adults. The tiny tots just rolled into Australia with mom Mariah Carey & dad Nick Cannon as they set sail on a yacht around the gold coast.
Pics of the Cannons getting ready for an Aussie December summer inside.... Miss Monroe is clearly daddy's little girl as she clung to Papa Nick after de-boarding the fam's private jet in Australia today. The cutesy little one and her twin brother Moroccan were taken to an awaiting yacht:
Looks like the Cannons have gone from the blistery snow of Aspen to the beautiful summer sun in Australia to wrap up their Holiday vacay. Can't even be mad at that. At lease not as mad as we are at Mariah's full floor length black gown she's rocking just to board a boat. Oh MiMi.... Pics: INF  |
| YouTube Cracks DOWN On FAKE Views And Likes, Top Artists Get Their Numbers WIPED! Posted: 28 Dec 2012 02:19 PM PST Many of the music biz's top recording artists like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Lady Gaga saw their social media impact decrease dramatically as YouTube "cancelled" millions of "likes" and "views" of their videos. Find out why inside...
Some of music's biggest viral videos like Beyonce's "Single Ladies," Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Psy's "Gangnam Style" saw their social media impressions decrease as YouTube recently cracked down on fraudulent view count-building techniques called "black hat." The crack down affects the nations' largest recording companies--Sony and Universal--who were stripped of 2 billion hits after YouTube cracked down. So what exactly is black hat? It's "the term used when hackers artificially build up the numbers of views or likes on a YouTube video - enabling them to make clips appear far more popular than they really are and increase their exposure on the site." YouTube doesn't come right out and accuse companies like Sony or Universal of hiring hackers to do this. But how else would it have been done? They stated, "This was not a bug or a security breach. This was an enforcement of our viewcount policy." Universal, home of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber, lost a total of one billion views in the video site’s biggest ever crackdown. Alicia Keys and Rita Ora lost 850 million. It's well understood that YouTube operates as an unofficial music chart. So for promotional purposes, it sounds a lot sexier to say Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" video got 100,000 likes and 25 million views versus 1000 views and 25,000 likes. The longterm impact of the crackdown won't likely hit folks like Justin Bieber in the pocket, but will impact people who rely on their "view count" for advertising purposes on the YouTube channels. We guess folks will have to go back to the old hustle and grind of actually asking people to spread the word about their pages and channels. Or just having talent....  |
| 'RHOA' BABY ON THE WAY: Phaedra Parks Is PREGNANT With Baby #2! Posted: 28 Dec 2012 01:02 PM PST She's pregnant....again! "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks just returned from her Christmas vacation to the Bahamas with hubby Apollo Nida and friends. And she revealed some big news. Deets inside... Phaedra released the first pic showing off her growing baby bump on the beaches of the Bahamas. And now Phaedra Parks is letting her fans know that she and Apollo are indeed expecting their second child. Big brother Ayden is 2 and a half now. So the lawyer turned funeral service entrepreneur will have a little helper on her hands. Phaedra & Apollo spent the Christmas Holiday in Nassau at Atlantis Paradise Island with co-stars Kandi Burruss and Todd. Plus, reality tv homies Toya & Memphitz Wright, Rasheeda & Kirk Frost, Evelyn Lozada and everyone's kids. She seemed to always hide her belly in pics, and now we know why.
But the Holiday times haven't been all happiness and rainbows for the couple. With a new episode of "Housewives" airing this Sunday that shows some possible strife between the Phaedra & Apollo, the couple is also dealing with the deaths of close family members. She wrote, in part, on her BRAVO blog last week,
Through all the grief and sadness, Phaedra & Apollo will be welcoming in happiness with their brand new bundle of joy. Oh, and their new joint fitness DVD too. Congrats!  |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2012 12:21 PM PST Melanie Fiona put down the R&B and broke out in her hip hop alter-ego Felony Miona during a recent interview. Watch her freestyle inside and see John Legend's birthday "cake cake cake...."
Fans of Melanie Fiona are well aware that the songstress is a good writer and has some powerful vocal cords, but most may not know that she also has "flow. During an interview with Vibe.com, Melanie broke out in her hip hop alter ego Felony Miona and hit listeners with a mean freestyle. Folks who've seen Melanie live will recognize her freestyle from her performances of "Runnin'" where she fills in Nas' verse. Watch Felony Miona break it down here:
Also.... R&B crooner John Legend celebrates his 34th birthday today and he tweeted a pic of a gorgeous piece of musical cake he was presented last night. The delicious square of layered-chocolate cake was topped with milk chocolate music note. Yummy!  |
| VH1's New "Love & Hip Hop" Promo Shots + Stevie J STILL BEGGING Mimi Faust To RECONNECT Posted: 28 Dec 2012 11:28 AM PST
Vh1's "Love & Hip Hop" heads back to NYC for a third season, and we have promo pics of the new cast inside. Plus, read a text conversation between Stevie J and Mimi Faust as he tries to get back with her...again.
Previously we showed you the extended trailer for the third season of "LAHH" as the foolery heads back to New York City. And now we have promo stills of the show's leading ladies who will undoubtedly keep folks on the edge of their seats are they reveal the intimate details of their lives. Check out the ladies of LAHH 3 here: Yandy Smith Rashidah Ali Raqi Thunda Tahiry Erica Mena Winter Ramos Olivia (old pic) Jen the Pen The new season of LAHH 3 starts January 7th at 8 p.m.
And over on the "ATL" side of LAHH... And in 2012, viewers were enthralled by the Stevie J/Joseline/Mimi Faust love triangle and many wondered why Mimi let Stevie play her for the fool. Well things seem to have changed amongst the threesome. While we've seen Stevie J out with Joseline, Mimi doesn't have time for Stevie outside of co-parenting. She posted a snippet from a text conversation where she shut him down for trying to start something back up between them.....
It seems like Mimi has finally gotten the message about Stevie and she's moved on. Good for her. We think.. Photos via Vh1  |
| UH OH: Rihanna Stays Mum About Naked Balcony Pics From Barbados Posted: 28 Dec 2012 10:44 AM PST Something more than those scantilly clad bikini pics have come out of Rihanna's trip to Barbados. Thanks to the "Diamonds" chick flashing her perfectly perky T&A in a fully open balcony window (where she knew paparazzi had been watching her for days).
And she's staying mum about her newest doozy.... While Rihanna rocked swimsuits that got smaller and smaller each day that she was back on her native island of Barbados recently, she was caught (shocker) fully naked on her balcony. Pics just leaked of Rihanna changing from a black bikini to a little red one. And the paparazzi camera caught her fully naked bod as her ass was propped up on full display in the open door. Despite the nude pics hitting the net last night, the "Fresh Off The Runway" singer has yet to say anything about it. Cat never got her tongue before when she put out her own damn near naked pics or when she was trying to clear up a rumor. But this time, she remains mum. Is that because she knew the pics were being taken...seeing that she keeps turning around looking out the balcony window while chillin' butt ass naked? Just a thought... All you freaks can peep the pics HERE, because we can't post them here. Pic: Pacific Coast News  |
| Solange Knowles JAZZES IT UP For GQ New Year's Eve Fashion Shoot Posted: 28 Dec 2012 09:55 AM PST Solange Knowles knows how to rock a cute look for any occasion. So it's no surprise GQ magazine has featured her and her fave musicians for a New Year's Eve fashion feature.
Check the pics inside... "Losing You" singer Solange is looking fab in the New Party Rules 2013 feature on GQ.com, where she's giving one of the biggest party nights of the year some life. In a black & white spread all about NYE fashion, Solange is singing it up (above) in a dotted Azzedine Alaia skirt & blouse, Jimmy Choo sandals and Jennifer Fisher jewelry. She poses it up with her True EP producer Devonté Hynes of Blood Orange (left) and one of her faves, Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear. Dev gets dapper in a Gucci suit, Ralph Lauren bowtie and shirt and Dior Homme shoes. And Ed rocks a Prada tux with Vans sneakers. And in another shot, Solo removes the blouse to reveal a sexy shiny leather bra top as she parties it up with her friends. Loves her and these looks. By the way, Solange tweeted on Christmas Eve that she's got her "dooky braids" back.
