DRAGGED: Rihanna POPS BACK At British Writer Liz Jones Who Calls Her A POISONOUS POP PRINCESS! Posted: 25 Jun 2013 08:51 AM PDT We all know Rihanna plays no games when she pops back at folks who come for her. And today was no different after Rih Rih read what controversial British writer Liz Jones had to say about the strip club & gun loving pop star being a toxic role model.
Check out how Rihanna responded inside... Daily Mail writer Liz Jones, who is also a former editor at Marie Claire magazine, wrote a scathing article about Rihanna's bad girl ways being irresponsible and toxic to her teeny bopper fans. And even if she may have had a few good points, the way she said them didn't do anything but make Rihanna riled up and ready to snatch some wiggery. At one point in Liz's article yesterday (which you can read in full HERE), she said:
Cue up the royal dragging from Rih Rih. In between her Diamonds world tour stops, she posted homegirl's pic on her Instagram with THIS response:
In case you couldn't see it properly:
As we all know, whether you want to be a role model or not, when you literally have over 10 million Twitter followers and almost the same Instagram and Facebook fans, you're going to be a role model....whether you like it or now. Where much is given, much is asked. But does the Bajan bad gal have a point with everything else?
The Randomness: 1. Fat Joe may be sentenced to four months in prison due to not paying taxes on $1 million in income. STORY

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 07:05 AM PDT British chocolate drop Idris Elba chatted with David Letterman about his Pacific Rim film last night. CHeck out his sexiness inside and watch Kelly Rowland perform "Gone" with Wiz Khalifa on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Hottie actor Idris Elba was spotted in Times Square yesterday on his way to the 'Late Show with David Letterman' where he stopped to sign a few autographs. While promoting his flick Pacific Rim (out July 12th), Idris told Dave that he moved to the States in 1999...but didn't find work for four years! And it was all because he hadn't mastered an American accent yet. When Dave asked if he'd ever played an American with a "bad" accent he joked, "No....I'm that good!". We're sure... Dave also showed a throwback clip of a 21-year-old Idris in his first tv tole as a pizza delivery boy in outspace. Watch the full episode here and check out Idris' interview at the 30:48 mark.
Also on late night.... After numberous tv spots, including "GMA" and "Wendy", Kelly Rowland promoted Talk a Good Game on "Jimmy Fallon" last night. She rocked out with a performance of "Gone" featuring Wiz Khalifa. Watch Kelly's amazing performance above....

THIS GUY: Kirk Frost Explains His Issues With Rasheeda, The Baby Drama, And If HE'S The One Cheating Posted: 25 Jun 2013 06:15 AM PDT Since Kirk Frost became one of the most hated men in reality TV recently after saying his WIFE and "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" co-star, Rasheeda, should have an abortion and the baby may not even be his...he's speaking out to explain his side.
If you care, Kirk addresses everything you've been wondering about inside.... It's been rumored "LAHH: ATL" stars Kirk & Rasheeda have split and are an inch away from an official divorce. And who would blame Rasheeda for wanting the marriage to be over after her husband of umpteen years tells her she should have an abortion when she gets a pregnancy surprise. AND follows that up wit telling her the baby may not even be his. You know, since wives don't take kindly to being called hoes by their own husbands. Both Kirk & Rasheeda popped up at this weekend's 10th Anniversary of V103's Car & Bike Show at the Georgia World Congress Center. But they rolled separately, furthering speculation the two have split. Kirk showed off his passive agressive "Almost Single" tee. And Rasheeda attended with her sharp tongued mama. Kirk called in to WGCI's Morning Riot show yesterday to tell what's really going on. He cconfirmed he and Rasheeda have one child together, 12-year-old Ky, and Kirk has 4 other kids. Interestingly, he doesn't confirm ages which would probably prove he's cheated on Rasheeda at some point during their many years of marriage. And you would think that this far into a marriage and all these kids, why would he say such cruel things to his own wife. Kirk says "we do argue and have these problems" and "it's just blown up because the cameras are there." He also ended the interview saying he DOES want this child....now. Here are the highlights from his interview: On why he made the abortion comment and said the baby may not be his: "I did say it because [having a baby] was messing with our business. I was really pissed off. This is my thing--A baby comes out a woman, it doesn't come out a guy. You don't know where that woman's privates been." On if he REALLY thinks Rasheeda cheats on him: "Not that I know of, but she's a rapper....I see how many people try to get at Rasheeda 24/7 and it's been like that for years. I see people sending bags and offers and asking if she's still with her husband...I don't know if she would do that though. But there's not a perfect person walking this earth." On if he's the one cheating and that's why he's accusing Rasheeda of cheating: "At that point in time, no. (When asked if he is now) That remains to be seen." On if he regrets saying Rasheeda should get an abortion: "I definitely do. I wouldn't have said [the abortion thing]." On the gay rumors: "I am nowhere near gay." On the status of his & Rasheeda's marriage: "We're friends. We're still husband and wife. But do we still have some problems to work out, yes we do." Sounds like he's being technical with the "we're still husband and wife" statement. And it seems Kirk is extra insecure about his marriage as he constantly says he never knows what Rasheeda COULD be doing...because he's not with her 24/7. Hmmm.... Check out the full interview below.

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 06:44 PM PDT Kelly Rowland stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" today where she performed a medley of her hits and opened up about everything from breast implants to an abusive relationship from the past. Watch the videos inside... Earlier today, Kelly Rowland sat down with Wendy Williams to promote her new Talk a Good Game disc and dish on her role as a judge on the US-version of "X-Factor". During the chat, Kelly talked about previously working with fellow judge Simon Cowell on the UK-version of "X-Factor" and revealed she has a crush on her future co-star. The ladies also had some "wig" talk where Kelly revealed that she has several wigs that she refers to as "the girls." And when talking about her album cover, Kelly talked about those implants she copped. And when speaking about plastic surgery, she said, "I think it's important to take the time to know what you're getting yourself into. Be healthy. Get everything done properly." And when the talk turned to her song "Dirty Laundry" and her abusive relationship, she said "What's so important about Dirty Laundry is that I want girls to know that if they are in these relationships, they need to get out." After dishing with Wendy, Kelly hit the stage to perform a medley of "Street Life", "Motivation" and "Kisses Down Low". Watch the performances here:

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 04:37 PM PDT In the latest issue of "W" Magazine, Kanye West offers insight into his creative process, his relationship with Kim Kardashian, and addresses some of the narcissistic rants (which he says you shouldn't take too seriously). See the highlights inside... Fans of Kanye West know that he rarely talks to the press (because it usually ends in disaster), but the "I am a god" rapper did open up for a lengthy article in W magazine which unveiled his creative process in Paris and revealed the next phase of his artistry (which will be the rarefied upper reaches of design, architecture, and overall good taste). He brags that the goal is, "To make Kanye West as dope as possible.” Throughout the piece, we see that Kanye does indeed have one of the biggest egos on the planet, but he's also one of the most talented and creative visionaries of our time. At one point, he yells at the writer, "Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go. Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.” Here are the highlights:
Kanye West's latest album Yeezus is available now. Read the full "W" article here.

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 02:00 PM PDT LeBron, Juwan, Dwyane, Chris, Ray and the Miami Heat celebrated their 2013 NBA Championship with a parade outside of the AmericanAirlines arena today. See the victory pics inside and find out what OKC Thunder player signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports.
NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade and the entire Miami Heat franchise and their families celebrated their 2013 NBA Championship victory with a parade outside of the AmericanAirline Arenas today. Tens of thousands turned out to pay salute to what culminated in a "...franchise-record 66 wins, a 27-game winning streak, and a second straight championship". Team president Pat Riley commented on the parade to the Miami Herald saying, “It really is about respect. And this is what players, I think, ultimately play for. You don’t merely want to be considered the best of the best in anything you do. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do. You separate yourselves from the pack. And I don't think there’s any doubt they’ve separated themselves from the pack this year. And their names are going to be respected and honored.”
2013 NBA MVP LeBron James blasted a few fans with shots of his Super Soaker. Photographers caught Ray Allen, who was the hero of Game 6 and Game 7, waving to the screaming crowd of fans. Later, he also hit fans with the Super Soaker.
And Chris Bosh held on to that trophy for dear life.
LeBron James also posted a few videos from the parade to his Instagram account. Watch the clips here and here. In other sports news..... Now that rap mogul Jay-Z is an officially licensed NBA agent, he's added Oklahoma City Thunder baller Kevin Durant to the Roc Nation lineup. We told you to expect this signing a few days ago and Kevin revealed the news to his IG folllowers earlier today. Kevin joins a growing roster of clients Jay-Z has built up including Robinson Cano and Geno Smith.

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 01:26 PM PDT Chris Brown is back in hot water with accusations. The newest assault accusations haven't been proven to be true, but a woman named Deanna Gines indeed filed a police report saying the singer assaulted her inside a club... The Deanna Gines woman (pictured below on her crutches after the alleged "incident") is dropping alleged dimes about an alleged Chris Brown assault in an Orange County nightclub that allegedly happened over the weekend. The 24-year-old claims Breezy shoved her to the ground after he wrapped up his performance.
Hmmm. Chris is rarely within arms' reach of fans in close quarts since his entourage totally surrounds him, so is it possible it was his bodyguards around him? If it happened at all? Not too sure about this one but chick said she may need to get major surgery. And is that a baby's crib in the pic? Interesting... Chris' rep said in a statement to TMZ: Chris Brown's rep, Nicole Perna, tells TMZ, "I'm unaware of the incident, as is Chris' lawyer and his entire team. He was in a great mood after Powerhouse." Perna adds, "None of this makes sense." And Chris posted on Twitter, "I didn't do anything." And apparently he (or someone around him) smartened up and deleted the tweet. And he simply says this:
BONUS: Speaking of assaults, Scottie Pippen was just ARRESTED on felony assault charges for that fight he got into at a restaurant last night in Malibu. He turned himself in tot he police. Foolywang material. |
Posted: 24 Jun 2013 12:38 PM PDT The Miami Heat champs are still celebrating. As they should be. The back to back winners had a big team dinner over the weekend. And they brought their wives and girlfriends to the party. Pics from the locker room inside.... LeBron James' fiancee Savannah, Udonis Haslem's fiancee Faith, Chris Anderson's finacee Tina, Chris Bosh's wife Adrienne and the rest of the WAGS gathered around the teammates for their big Team Dinner recently.
The ladies all had some fun with their fellas to help them celebrate their huge accomplishment. And they made cute gift baskets to stuff in their guys' lockers:
Adrienne tweeted about how they made them from scratch. And Udonis' lady Faith said, "Can't wait to have that last name!!!! #lastpost #promise #lockerroomchronicle." We're sure she can't. Clearly the chick is getting extra buff for her impending wedding. BONUS: And while Gabby was M.I.A. from the team dinner, she was spotted leaving Story nightclub out of the back entrance alongside D-Wade the night of the championship win. Maybe she had to get back to work....
But all is NOT roses in the Bosh household, despite the big Championship win. Chris just petitioned for FULL custody of his daughter Trinity! He and Trinity's mom, Allison, have been at odds for a while now over child support. A little while ago, Allison petitioned for more child support (for the umpteenth time). She currently gets $2600/month when Chris makes multi-millions of dollars. So she wanted that number upped to $30,000 month, but got rejected by a judge. Chris said he wants full custody because Allison is keeping Trinity from him (wouldn't be able to tell with the daily professional photoshoots Adrienne does with all the kids--including Trinity). And he also says she poisons Trinity's mind against him. But is the real reason so that he doesn't have to pay child support, esp. with a third child on the way? Wouldn't be the first time a super rich man yanked the kids from the mom simply to avoid those major monthly payments.
The Randomness: 1. Scottie Pippen went and assaulted someone outside a restaurant in Miami this weekend....allegedly. STORY 2. Paula Deen has been DROPPED by Smithfield (the major pork company). STORY Photos: SPLASH/Adrienne's Instagram/Faith's Instagram |
Posted: 24 Jun 2013 11:46 AM PDT Over the weekend, financial expert Mellody Hobson married famed film director George Lucas. Get the deets on their star-studded wedding inside....
This weekend, ABC News contributor Mellody Hobson walked down the aisle with her long time man Star Wars creator George Lucas. PEOPLE Magazine confirmed that the nuptials took place on Saturday at 5pm before an intimate gathering at George's Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California. According to the HuffPost, the ceremony was officiated by journalist Bill Moyers, who quoted the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi: "When I heard my first love story, I was thinking of you." And during the reception, Steven Spielberg gave the toast from the groom's side, joking that The Force had a name: Mellody. And John W. Rogers an executive at Ariel Investments, spoke on behalf of the bride. Also, director Francis Ford Coppola read a poem by Maya Angelou. Singer Van Morrison flew in from Ireland to entertain the guest alongside Janelle Monae, who also performed. Mellody was walked down the aisle by former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley, whom she's known since she was 17. Bill also gave a toast before the cake-cutting ceremony. Mellody wore a white dress by Peter Soronen and changed skirts between the ceremony and the party. George's son, Jett, was his best man, and his daughters, Katie and Amanda, were bridesmaids. The ceremony was attended by some of Hollywood's A-list, including actor Samuel Jackson who tweeted, And director Ron Howard, who star in George's 1973 film American Graffiti, tweeted that the ceremony "was a joy to behold." Adding, "Bill Moyers service was beautiful, nothing short of profound. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Lucas." The couple, who met at a business conference in 2006, got engaged in January of this year. And though Mellody walks into the relationship with a nice little nest egg of her own, let's not forget the Red Tails director sold his television and film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd., to the Walt Disney Company for $4.05 billion in October 2012. We guess he's ready to enter a new phase in life. And we're sure Mellody knows EXACTLY where to put all those coins.
