Find out what she said inside and see more pics from Naomi Campbell's VOGUE Brazil shoot....

And in VOGUE Brazil.... More pics have emerged from Naomi Campbell's May 2013 VOGUE Brazil photo shoot. Freakin' flawless. In celebration of the magazine's 38th birthday, Naomi (who'll turn 43 on May 22nd) is featured in EVERY editorial in the magazine. She's captured by industry legends Tom Munro, JR Duran and Jacques Dequeke. And speaking of birthdays, Naomi will celebrate her 43rd with a big bash in Ibiza this year. But we're all clutching our pearls (and diamonds) to see if Vlad Doronin shows up on her arm, as word on the street is that they're on the border of splitting up.

| Posted: 03 May 2013 05:28 PM PDT Lil' Wayne has lost his Mountain Dew endorsement following criticism over his "Emmitt Till" lyric. Find out what PepsiCo said inside and hear what Mary Mary told EBONY Magazine about Erica's solo project and the infidelity that rocked Tina's marriage. Read more inside...
It seems like the good folks at Mountain Dew are paying closer attention to the rappers they associate their brand with, now that they've also dropped Lil Wayne from the roster. A few days ago, we told you about the embarassing ad the company yanked featuring Tyler, The Creator and now they've bowed to public pressure and fired Lil' Wayne too. Lil' Wayne, who has been appearing in Mountain Dew ads since 2012, infuriated the family of Emmitt Till, after his "Karate Chop" song included the lyric, "Pop a lot of pain pills, 'bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels ... beat that p***y up like Emmett Till." Though he sent a letter apologizing to the family, it was rejected by the descendants and along with mounting criticism from the public, Pepsi Co announced late Friday that Weezy's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand." These rappers gonna learn today... Though the company did not provide any specifics, the departure was confirmed by Sarah Cunningham, a publicist for Lil Wayne who covered up by saying the split was due to "creative differences... That's about all I can tell you at this time." For those who may not recall the specifics of the heinous Mississippi murder, Emmitt Till was a 14-year-old Black child who was beaten and disfigured beyond identification for allegedly flirting with a white woman in 1955. And this is how Weezy described his sexual prowess.
And on magazine racks.... Mary Mary duo (Tina & Erica Campbell) cover EBONY Magazine's June 2103 issue, which celebrates Black Music month. Inside the shockingly candid interview, the reality tv stars open up about infidelity and Erica's decision to go solo. Here are the highlights:
Damn Tina! Not stab his ass AND change the will. And in celebration of Father's Day, EBONY spotlights Ziggy Marley, Chris Paul, Mike Tyson Cory Booker and other celebs who express gratitude and appreciation for what their fathers taught them. The "Mary Mary" issue of EBONY hits magazine stands on May 7th.  |
| FIRST PROMO PIC: Drew Sidora, KeKe Palmer & Lil Mama For The "TLC Biopic" Posted: 03 May 2013 02:58 PM PDT TLC has been officially revived....by three of their biggest fans. Check out the first promo pic with Drew Sidora, Lil Mama and KeKe Palmer as TLC for the upcoming biopic.... VH1 has released the first official promo pic for "Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story". And it made us do a double take. Drew Sidora (as T-Boz), KeKe Palmer (as Chilli) and Lil Mama (as Left Eye) are going hard in transforming into the favorite girl group who sang, rapped and danced to the tune of bright colors, controversial safe sex messages and everything in between. For the official promo shot, the three ladies re-enacted TLC's 1992 album cover for Oooooh On The TLC Tip.... And we're actually feelin' it. The TV movie was shot in just a few weeks in Atlanta recently, and will give the story of how TLC rose to fame, their trials and tribulations with money and managers, and what went on in their personal lives. The "TLC Story" airs this November, and you can calm your nerves because the girls will be lip synching to TLC's actual music. T-Boz & Chilli, the two surviving members, served as consultants on the movie. Will you be watching? Photo: VH1  |
| Posted: 03 May 2013 01:33 PM PDT The Trip to Bountiful walked away with four Tony nominations this week, and Vanessa Williams, Cicely Tyson and Deborah Cox were among the show's stars who were on hand for the announcement. See pics from the Broadway press conference inside... Earlier this week, Deborah Cox, who stars as "Lucy" in Broadway's "Jekyll & Hyde" posed with Vanessa Williams, "The Trip To Bountiful" during 2013 Tony Awards: The Meet The Nominees Press Junket at the the Millennium Hilton in New York City. And the YBFers on Broadway are racking up the nods. Emmy winning actress, Cicely Tyson, garnered a nomination for “Best Actress in a Play” (after a 30-year absence from the Broadway stage). Condola Rashad (who's our fave fab chick on the rise) received a nod for “Best Featured Actress in a Play. The play also copped nominations for “Best Revival of a Play” as well as “Best Sound Design of a Play.” Media mogul Kevin Liles (one of the play's producers) posed with his wife Erika at the event. New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler and wife Kimberly (also producers of "Bountiful") posed with Ahmad Rashad (the father of Tony-nominee Condola Rashad). Tom Hanks and Courtney B. Vance posed with producer Stephen Byrd and brand architect & producer of "Trip To Bountiful" Marvet Britto.

| Posted: 03 May 2013 11:59 AM PDT Robin Thicke stopped by Power 105 this morning to promote Blurred Lines and dish on how Paula Patton responds to his sexy videos and if he was mad at Kevin Hart's jokes on "RHOH". Watch the interview inside.... With his "Blurred Lines" single racing up the charts all around the world, Robin Thicke talked to "The Breakfast Club" about his sixth studio album and some of the controversy surrounding his music and television career. While discussing "Blurred Lines", Robin revealed that his wife, Paula Patton, gave her thumbs up for making the sexy & slightly dirty video (because she understands the industry). There was also a completely uncensored version too. He added that when he comes home from a sexy video shoot, Paula is usual there waiting for him in some booty shorts or something else sexy...just to remind him of what he has at home. And there has also been controversy about him leaving the "Real Husbands Of Hollywood". He said he and Kevin Hart remain good friends and he's indeed not doing Season 2 of "RHOH". He's finishing his sixth album and wants to focus on other entertainment ventures. He added that he has written a short film called "Mercy" on how the healthcare industry impacts smalls towns, and he didn't want "RHOH" to get in the way.
Watch the interview here:

| Posted: 03 May 2013 10:45 AM PDT Everyone take a deep sigh before reading. We thought this was just the trickery of a few hackers, but since Antoine Dodson has not come out to say so, apparently, this dude is serious.
Check out why your fave internet foolywang sensation says he's no longer gay, has found Jesus, and now wants a wife.... It reads like a "Pray The Gay Way" afterschool special, or a cult. Antoine Dodson wants YOU to know he has renounced the "homosexual lifestyle" and is "no longer in it." And it's all thanks to his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. The "Hide Ya Kids, Hide Ya Wife" star took to his Facebook page to spew some interesting words about why he has "reformed" and said he learned that being gay is not in congruence (he didn't say that word) with the Holy Bible. So, just like that, he snapped his fingers while pressing out his locks, and is no longer gay. So he says. His Facebook post last night reads:
He continued just a few minutes ago about the critics:
Oh, but there's more.
Oh? Antoine also said all those "flamboyant" pics of him on the net are a year old and he no longer is that person. SO he changed his profile pic just minutes ago to this: Guess this was supposed to make everyone a believer. But as of now, 360,000 have "Liked" the statement. Read into that as you please. We're proponents of just being you, whether that's the devil reincarnated (we'll just carry our Bible and crosses at all times) or Jesus' bestie. But let's keep it 100, Antoine sounds like he's drumming up publicity for the reality show he's been working on. So him saying he's done with the Hollywood and fame lifestyle is some B.S. Boy, stop.  |
| Posted: 03 May 2013 09:56 AM PDT Extra fab actresses and new mothers, Tia and Tamera Mowry launched their new product line "Milky!" yesterday with expectant mom Tamar Braxton amongst the women in attendance. Find out more about the product line and see party pics inside... Talk about keeping it spring fresh. Our fave twins put on their sexy and fun looks as the launched their brand new product for mom. The "destination" was LA's A Pea In A Pod where "Instant Mom" Tia Mowry Hardrict and Christmas Angel star Tamera Mowry Housley teamed up with Destination Maternity for the launch of their new product line "Milky!" The sisters were supported at the launch by their hubbies, Adam Housley (with son Aden) and Cory Hardrict (with son Cree). Mom-to-Be Tamar Braxton also came out to support the sisters and their new product line. She's getting all the product and tips she can before popping out her own little one. Chudney Ross, the daughter of Diana Ross, brought along her baby girl Callaway Lane. And for those wondering, the "Milky!" product line (which they were seen creating during this season's "Tia & Tamera") consists of teas that help women with lactation.
LOVE these looks on the gals. And it looks like the sisters satisfied their sweet tooth during the event too.
Before the event.... Tamara and Adam were spotted exiting their vehicle and holding six-month old Aden as they walked into A Pea In a Pod. The stylish mommy blogger is looking like she's on cloud 9 these days. Loves it!
