Who Knew?

So, according to "IN Touch Magazine" Gavin Rossdale wasn't always your average rocker-dad. Apparently back in his wild days he carried on a same-sex relationship for a little under 5 years with this guy:



...And now for some reason homeboy ( aka "Marilyn") wants to air this old situation out. Initially, he had kept quiet about this for the sake of Rossdale's career but now I guess it doesn't matter to him. Well, I dunno. I mean-- maybe he did do those things, maybe he didn't. Either way is it really relevant now? He's been with Gwen Stefani for 13 years and they have two beautiful kids. I'd say give it up "sistah", the jig is up! LOL.  

Haute Couture? Not Sure!

OK, so I know I've been on Yeezy-overload these past few days, but this post is necessary. It's more of a retraction. According to the good people at BOSSIP, the picture of Amber Rose and Kanye are NOT part of the louis Vuitton campaign as I had previously posted. Apparently LV isn't with the naked bald-chick steeze... The shot might be for a magazine spread or a special project-- we're not sure. But I'd hate to leave you-- my faithful flock misinformed! So take in this last image of 'Ye at the Tribeca Film Festival in and just... Be cool...

I WANT THAT CAMERA!

So, WENN caught this shot of Lady Gaga last night in London walking the streets-- kinda looking like a street-walker (in her sheer-shirt with "exes" taped over her nips)... Interesting look, Gaga. She has this dope Nikon camera with her, taking shots of the papps while they take shots of her. I'm sure in her mind it's amazing how one year ago nobody cared, and today she's gettin swarmed...

I dunno y'all. I like her, but sometimes I get the feeling she's pushing this "I'm so different" thing too far. It starts become pretty lame when it seems forced and rehearsed.... I'm jus sayin...

Lindsay Made A Funny!

Lindsay hasn't always been known for her comedic timing, but she held her own on this one... Word on the street is that Lindsay got dumped by her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson (shown above). Lindsay did what any young-nearly-washed-up-pseudo-actress would do. She made FUN og herself!!! Gotta love it. She made a spoof-tape of an e-Harmony video. WATCH:

What Is Hip-Hop Coming To?

For the love of everything fresh, fly and dope-a-licious why in the world do these things keep happening? Mind you, I am NOT a hater. Angel Lola Luv is beautiful. I don't really think the way she shows her beauty is the classiest-- but to each his own. You know? BUt when it comes to hip-hop-- that's a whole different story. That's the great love of my LIFE y'all. You just don't MESS with that. But alas, here we are. If you haven't seen it already, check out Lola Luv's: "Boss Biitch". WATCH:




PS: The lyrics are actually better than I thought they would be (doesn't mean they were great). But most likely-- they were ghost-written. So I'm still disappointed.

Foxy Brown Gives 50 CENT 24 Hours to Apologize...

Now that this Rick Ross/50 Cent beef is full-fledged, others have been pulled into the madness. One of those victims is Brooklyn bad-girl Foxy Brown. In 50 Cent's diss-track entitled, "Try Me" 50 says, "The cop F***cked a Fox". This statement is in reference to Ross' brief personal-relationship with Foxy. Speculations claimed that the two were to wed, but that never happened, and the love affair ended as suddenly as it began. Foxy's rep made a statement on Allhiphop.com stating:

“Foxy is giving that n***a 24 hour [period] to retract that statement or she’s going handle [him] Brooklyn Style.”

So yeah, I think that period is up, and I don't see 50 taking anything back-- so I'm assuming it's on like JIFFY pop-corn! I can't WAIT to hear what Fox comes back with. She is one of the fiercest lyricists (male or female) in the rap game. This has the potential of getting VEEEERY interesting. 50 hasn't went at a female since Charli Baltimore was on murder Inc, and he said, "B***ch look like she died last week! Pale ass".... LOL. Ohhhh that 50. He's somethin' ain't he?

For The Love Of All That Is Sane & Righteous....

Why in sam-hill (yes, I said sam-hill) is VH-1 giving Ray-J a television show? What has the man done (besides thrown his weiner around) that could possibly consititue him getting a whole show? And more importantly, WHERE IS MY SHOW??? I'm WAAAAAY more interesting than him... SMH. I mean... This is Ray-J as in Brandy's little brother. IN fact, I was just talking to my bff about this the other day, and I just don't get it. How has he managed to bang Whitney Houston, Kim Kardashian, AND Lil' Kim? How is it possible? What, is he sprinkling pixie-dust in their drinks?

Anyway, Ray-J's new "show" titled, "For the Love Of Ray-J" will premiere on VH-1 on February 2nd. The premise is that same as the other 5,345,789 VH-1 "love search" shows-- so I'm not going to insult your intelligence by actually attempting to break it down for you... VH-1 if you're reading I'm telling you right now: You're cruisin' for a bruisin'-- next reality show, it better be ME you're choosin'! And I'm gone.

50 Cent Gettin @ Kanye, Weezy, and YES.. OPRAH!

Budgets must be air-tight these days, because people are doing anything possible to remain relevant-- including 50 Cent. I can't knock his hustle though, that's how he became famous-- off the backs of people like Ja Rule and Fat Joe, but isn't it getting a little out of hand? Anyway, 50 is claiming that Kanye is soft, Wayne is overrated, and Oprah is STILL prejudiced against hip hop. Check it out...

@ Kanye:



“It’s the return of the heartless monster/I should give you n***s a whole R&B record/808s and my heart’s broken/I hate all these f***ers with the rainbow colors on.”

@ Weezy:



“First they said that f—-t’s hot, then they let that junkie shine,” 50 raps to lead off the record. “Gave him all the f—in’ trophies
, tell me, where the f— is mine?”

As the song closes out, 50 threatens Wayne. “I’m on your heels, Mr. Carter. I heard you. You want me to ‘die ugly?’ OK. Don’t end up on the list, n—a. Be a missing person like Cam’ron, like Ja [Rule], like [Fat] Joe. Who wants some?”

@ Oprah:

”I don’t wanna chit-chat on your sofa/ I ain’t Jay-Z, f— you Oprah”, accusing Winfrey yet again of being “prejudiced” against hip-hop.

I mean, seriously. I'd tell these artists to no and nevermind, because clearly this is a marketing scheme-- as always. And if I had any advice to give to Mr. Formula-50 I'd say, "Get a new formula, 50..." Ha!

Picture of the Day

I nabbed this classic snapshot from the good folks at Bossip, and I must say I am feeling a mixture of nausea with a twinge of the lightheartedness of a schoolgirl... It's a very strange mix... But i digress. Just what exactly was Tiffany "New York" Pollard thinking about when she wore this get-up to her "Z-list" birthday bash in NYC? Was she:

a. trying to re-enact Britney's "crazy" days?
b. just getting out of the open-call auditions for Pepto-Bismol?
c. a recent reject from Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory?
d. trying her best to live up to her "media-whore" standards?

I dunno people, it's anyone's guess. SMH.

In Other Random News...

So..... (in my most sarcastic voice possible) "THIS is NOT a PUBLICITY STUNT".... "What are you people TAAAAAALKING ABOUT?" Listen. I don't watch "The Hills", and even if I DID I wouldn't believe this one. I guess their staged photo-opps weren't selling anymore... Hey. Don't be mad! It's a recession people. You gotta do what you gotta do!

They Say...

That our beloved Aubrey O'Day got kicked out of Danity Kane on last night's episode of "Making Of The Band"... Wait...Wait a minute.*Sniff*...*Sniff*...*Sniff*... What's that I smell? Old garabge? Oh no.. It's Sardines.... No... It's a PUBLICITY STUNT! We all know Diddy is a drama king, and will do what he has to for ratings. And we also know he's a money-monger and will do what he has to do to make that paper. It would make absolutely no sense to kick out the only controversial and recognizable member of Danity Kane. Without Aubrey there really is no group. Not to take anything away from D. Woods (because she's also somewhat colorful), but Aubrey is definitely the stand-out star. And you know what else? There's one more episode to go. So we'll see for sure if this is what Diddy wants us to THINK it is, or if it's just bullshiz.

Kanye vs. Papparazzi Pt. II

In the video below, Yeezy is tryna keep his cool under the papp-pressure. He sure doesn't wanna go back to jail though-- I think he's still recovering from that incident with "tiny"-- who isn't really that tiny at all, if ya-know-what-I-mean... Yikes! WATCH:

Here We Go. Here We Go Again...

I gotta admit. Last summer, when Kanye and 50 did that huge publicity stunt when 50 claimed if 'Ye outsold him, he'd stop doing solo music-- was cute. It was clever, entertaining and just plain crafty. I gave them much props and kudos for manipulating the masses in to spending massively. But this here? This is just ridiculous! The two are releasing albums in December only a mere week apart. Kanye drops the 16th, and 50 drops the 9th. Saving the best for last I suppose?

Last year, both emcee's dropped their albums on 9/11. Kanye beat 50 massively. All was well that ended well. Until now, I guess. In a concert last week, 50 mocked 'Ye's new single "Love Lockdown" and Tony Yayo smashed a camera to mimick Kanye's infamous lash-out to papps. Kanye responded on his blog by claiming his latest album will be 50's favorite.... I dunno, I think the whole gimmick is played out and corny-- but we'll see if the masses can be manipulated for a second time...

Bristol's Baby-Daddy Is A Brotha???

According to this video leaked all over the net, the young man in the rant above is Bristol Palin's real baby-daddy and not Levi Johnston-- her current "fiance". And I use the term "fiance" loosely. VERY, very loosely. Apparently, Bristol was ol' boy's bust-it-baby after he left his native Los Angeles to visit his father in Alaska... Wow, I'm not sure what's the bigger news-- that Bristol might have a Black baby-daddy, or that there are Black people in Alaska! It just keeps getting better and better. Anyway, this video was leaked last week, and I resisted posting because a few friends claimed he was just doing this controversial video to draw attention to his MYSPACE music page. Regardless, we won't truly know until the baby is born, so let's just wait and see...

BIG shout out to my one-and-only father, my hero, and my sister for the link & info!

Mama Spears Co-Signs On Britney's Craziness

...and I'm not talking meltdowns. In Lynne Spears new tell-all book, "Through The Storm", she gives juicy and scandalous details into Britney's private life. She claims that Britney started drinking at 13, and started having sex at 14. In fact, she lost her virginity at the tender age of 14 to the 18-year-old quarterback of her high school. Justin Timberlake later stated in an interview in 2003 that he knew for a fact that Britney had lost her virginity eons before their romance. But for publicity's sake, they kept up the "saving myself 'til marriage" charade. Lynne also claims that Britney started experimenting with drugs at 15, and when she was 16 got caught on a private jet with marijuana and cocaine.... Lynne doesn't want to take all the bad-parenting credit though. She blames most of Britney's behavior on the negative people around her trying to over-sex her and her image through raunchy videos... I'm sorry, but when did parents suddenly lose the ultimate veto-power when it comes to their kids? Way to pass-the-buck Lynne. SMH.

Wow. I mean, we knew Brit had a terrible year in '07 and just completely spiraled out of control, but who knew how scandalous she was when she was perpetrating as "America's Sweetheart"? This is a prime example of why we should never take things for face-value. You never can tell what is truly lurking just beneath the surface....

New American Apparel Ads...

What do you think of this somewhat controversial America Apparel ad? Is it too suggestive? Is it progressive? Is it genius? Have they gone too far? Any thoughts?

Lil' Kim As The Not-So-Virgin Mary

I told y'all times were hard, right? This recession is real, and controversy equals $$$$$$. Lil' Kim posed for a very scandalous take on the virgin Mary by renowned photographer David LaChappelle. He has taken photos of everyone from Tupac to Madonna and everyone in between. He is known for his envelope-pushing take on art. I dunno about this one though. I don't really see the "art" in it... It reeks of publicity stunt... Doesn't it?

"Abducted" DISNEY STAR Found!

On Tuesday morning, it was reported that the That's So Raven star Orlando Brown had been missing for nearly 24 hours. He was last seen at his producer's house (Ricky Romance-- lovin that name-- heeeeeey) and it was reported he had just walked "up the street to the 7 eleven". After he left, no one had heard from him. Family, friends and co-workers were calling him non-stop because he had a slew of business meetings yesterday that he had missed. It was very uncharacteristic for Brown. His family was "worried". By end-of-day yesterday, he had reportedly called into the Wendy Williams show to let everyone know he was "ok". AAAAnd he was also calling in to promote his up-coming CD...Hmmmmm. Sounds like a dumb-ass, big-ass publicity stunt if you ask me.... Or maybe he ended up on the Hollywood strip with some cokewhore having a little fun, eh? Who knows in that place they call Hollyweird!

She Definitely Has Things To Pray About

(Foxy Brown pictured in a Zac Posen dress at an NYC Cathedral on Sunday)

Foxy brown recently got dropped by her Florida attorney Fred Haddad, because apparently her NYC team had made a plea deal behind his back over the pending assault case of a manicurist last year. Apparently the plea deal includes 6 months probation, and Foxy is probably willing to do this because of her up-coming VH-1 reality show. Haddad is PISSED. He claims he has spent the past several months working on this case, so now that she's accepting a plea deal, all his hard work was all for not.... Poor baby. Suck it up-- and sue!

Paris Hilton To Get Hitched????

(image courtesy of dlisted.com)
Media outlets are reporting that skank-of-the-century and all around dumbass Paris Hilton is getting married to Benji Madden. For all of you who don't know, he's Joel Madden's twin brother, and Joel is Nicole Richie's baby-daddy.... I smell the familiar stench of publicity stunt from a mile away! Apparently, the two are planning to have a double-wedding and the whole nine yards.... Hmmmm, I dunno about this but ya girl Paris has definitely been walking around town flashing a HUGE engagement ring, and she just got back to LA after being on tour with Benji's band Good Charlotte. More to come as the story develops....
