| BABY HAPPY: Amber Rose Shows Off Her Growing Tummy & Her Own Baby Pic Posted: 03 Dec 2012 09:32 AM PST Amber Rose gave her followers another update on her growing belly. Check out what she's working with now inside... She's in her 7th month of pregnancy and getting excited. And getting rounder. The proud mama-to-be took to her Twitter to show her followers just how big her baby boy has gotten: Amber said she's wearing shorts, but you can't even see them thanks to the belly. She also posted her own baby pic to maybe give a preview of what she and fiance Wiz Khalifa could create. Cute. This should be interesting.
The Randomness: 1. Speaking of babies, Princess Kate & Prince William are expecting their first child, as confirmed today by the Royal Palace. A Royal Baby is on the way! Pics via Twitter  |
| PIMP ARREST: Katt Williams LOCKED UP In Seattle After TWO Fights Posted: 03 Dec 2012 08:14 AM PST Katt Williams is BACK in trouble...not long after he pimp slapped a Target employee in Sacramento. Get the deets on the comedian's arrest in Seattle this weekend after a couple of foolish fights with random folks... More drama follows Micah "Katt" Williams. Katt was booked to perform in Seattle, Washington at the Paramount this weekend (Thursday-Saturday), and drama ensued--leading to him getting arrested on Sunday afternoon. According to Seattle PI News via a statement from the Seattle Police Department, Katt got into a cigarette ash-flicking, rock throwing fight with bar patrons at the World Sports Grille on Sunday night. Here's what reportedly went down:
Police said Williams struggled with officers as they tried to put him into a patrol car. Sigh. So he was arrested and booked at King County Jail for harassment, assault and obstructing police. He's still currently in lock up and expected to have a Monday afternoon (today) bail hearing. By the way, he missed his Thursday show for some reason and performed on Friday. After Friday's show, he got into an altercation with three fans but wasn't arrested. The Police Department rep explains:
No arrest was made for Friday's incident. Katt told the police he would be leaving and skipping his show on Sunday, but apparently that did NOT happen. By the way, Katt is 41 based on his booking sheets, even though he's listed as 39 in online biographies. Dude has serious issues and need to GET.IT.TOGETHER.  |
| Tia Mowry Switches Back To LONG Hair, Skates It Up At ABC's "25 Days Of Christmas" Posted: 03 Dec 2012 07:34 AM PST Skate time! Tia Mowry threw in her extensions to get the wind blowing through her hair while ice skating at Rockefeller Center this weekend for ABC's 25 Days of Christmas event.
Check the cute pics inside...
In a cute fur trimmed coat and tights, actress Tia Mowry looked her usual fab self at ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Winter Wonderland Event, held at Rockefeller Center Ice Skating Rink in New York City. Since she's starring in one of the network's Christmas Movies, The Mistle-tones, alongside Tori Spelling on December 9th, she hit up the celebratory event over the weekend. Loves her look. Wonder how long she's going to keep the longer locks and go back to her big chop. By the way, Tia was added to the ensemble cast of the upcoming flick Baggage Claim. Pics: INF  |
| NO LIKEY: Marvin Gaye's Son Wants Lenny Kravitz To WALK AWAY From Biopic Role Posted: 03 Dec 2012 07:14 AM PST Marvin Gaye III, the son of the late singer, wants Lenny Kravtiz to walk away from a planned biopic saying the producers and directors of the film are all wrong from the project. Get more info inside.... As with the Nina Simone biopic, the family of late singer Marvin Gaye is not on board with a planned biopic, but that hasn't stopped producers from moving forward and hiring Lenny Kravtiz. This would be a high profile acting role for Lenny, who attended an East Room reception at the White House before making an appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors last night. But now, Marvin Gaye III is speaking out with hopes that his childhood friend & old schoolmate, Lenny, will honor the legacy of his father and withdraw from the flick. Marvin told TMZ, "The producers and directors of this film are very wrong and shameful ... [They're] trying to do a film about a low period in his life. They don't even know the whole story." Apparently, the movie will focus on the 80's--a time of heavy drug use and right before Marvin was shot and killed by his own father. Marvin hopes to speak to Lenny because he doesn't understand why he would do this movie--seeing that he and Marvin Jr. are still friends. "I would hope [Lenny] doesn't have any idea that we are against this film being done." We'll let you know if Lenny changes his mind. Highly doubtful....

| BUSTED: Tyga's Cushy Upbringing REVEALED, Is His Gangsta Image A FRONT? Posted: 03 Dec 2012 06:03 AM PST Unaired footage from a 2008 game show has Tyga revealing he grew up in a cushy Vally suburb....not the streets of Compton. Is his image calculated & contrived...like most of these rappers? Get more inside..... Young Money rapper Tyga may have an image and public persona that screams "street" but unaired footage from a 2008 game show paints a VERY different story. Though Tyga claims he grew up in Compton, footage from a 2008 show called "Bustas" (where contestants competed to see who could portray the "best" rap stereotypes) has the rapper saying he grew up in a well-to-do household in the Valley, and his parents drove a Range Rover. Now one has to ask if his image is a "calculated" fraud. And why does he need to embody a stereotype to sell music? But even with all of his "cushy" upbringing, he never learned how to pronounce the word "amoeba." Watch the clip here:
Sigh.

An emcee of the evening Tracee Ellis Ross was spotted chatting up "Glee" actress Amber Riley at the UNCF Evening With The Stars event at the Pasadena Civic Center last night. The two hour special (which will air on BET) encompasses some of the biggest names in entertainment, education, politics and sports who will share the stage with students whose lives have been changed by education made possible by UNCF and its programs. Tracee co-presented during the evening with Keenan Ivory Wayans.
Before Keyshia Cole took in the show from the audience: She rocked a cute white & black trimmed tux-inspired skirt and jacket look for the red carpet. And posed it up with actor and host of the evening Anthony Anderson and former reality chick Kita Williams. KeKe Palmer was there looking her usual fab self in a purple dress, and posing it up with Shaun Robinson.
Gorgeous makeup for her Melanie Fiona chatted up legendary Chaka Khan, who was rocking sexy thigh high boots. She rocked a leather top, back cut out black gown for the occasion. Loretta Devine was there for the event in a sparkling dress...and brought her man along. Backstage, Usher was seen chatting up Keenan:
And accompanying a student on the stage.
Derek Luke and his wife made an appearance.
Tatyana Ali looked great in all black and dark lipstick chatting up KeKe. The fellas were all about the good cause:
Tyrese, "E! News" host Terrence J, and singers Eric Benet & Anthony Hamilton kept it dapper.
Kim Coles kept it funny on the carpet. And Yolanda Adams was there for the big event too.
A little more about this red carpet event: The event is a particularly special sponsorship for Buick because of the brand's dedication to educating young people. In 2011, The General Motors Foundation and Buick launched the Buick Achievers Scholarship Program to award scholarships to students interested in science, technology, engineering, math and related fields. The Buick Achievers Program now dedicates up to 4.5 million dollars annually to students who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and community, and are the first in their family to attend college. The show will air on BET, January 27th, 2013 at 10p/9c. Pics: Getty  |
| Mike Tyson ADMITS He Was HIGH ON COCAINE During "The Hangover" -- 'I Was A Mess...I Was A Pig' Posted: 02 Dec 2012 10:18 AM PST
During a very candid interview, Mike Tyson revealed that he was high on cocaine in The Hangover and that he had a love triangle with Brad Pitt and Robin Givens. Find out more inside... Remember Mike Tyson's famed appearance in the 2009 flick The Hangover. The former boxer recently revealed on "In Depth With Graham Bensinger," that he was high as a kite during the taping. Speaking of his co-stars Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha, he said, "They had to know I was messed up. I couldn't talk. I had the cocaine talk. So those guys are just beautiful people. They had my back, and I appreciate that and stuff, then they asked me to come back [in The Hangover 2]." He added that working with the cast is what helped him clean up his act. Ad to the cast's defense...even a sober Mike Tyson's "talk" isn't that easy to understand. Also, he revealed that while he and actress Robin Givens were divorcing (yet still sleeping together), he caught her and Brad Pitt returning home together. Robin Givens had the world's heavywight champ and one of the world's sexiest men all at the same damn time! Mike added, 'I was mad as hell. I was going to...you should have saw his face when he saw me. But Brad's face is still in tact... Fans of the former heavyweight can catch him telling more wild stories from his past when he hits the road next year. The two-hour, tell-all show was directed by Spike Lee and wlll have Mike talking about his divorces, rape conviction and the time he chomped on Evander Holyfield's ear. He tweeted, "My #OneManShow is hitting the road on a NATIONAL TOUR starting February 2013."  |
