Nia Long Refutes Marriage Rumors

According to www.essence.com,"Nia Long is a new mom, but not a newlywed. Long took to Twitter earlier this month to explain why she wore the rumored engagement rings: "I wear five diamond bands. Each have a special meaning," she wrote. "My dedication to Jesus Christ, My dedication to my eldest son Massai. My dedication to sweet baby Kez. My dedication to love, my love. My dedication to womanhood and self love".

Willow Smith Goes Green

Source: www.thatgrapejuice.net At first glimpse of this photo, I had to double take. I didn't recognize Willow Smith. Yes, this is the Singer who "Whipped Her Hair " back and forth last year. We'll it seems that she was tired of whipping hair; as it's evident from the pics, she has cut all of her hair off an is now sporting a low green hair cut. Not the average hair cut for an average 11 year old female. I guess that's why she not your average 11 year old girl. Call me crazy but I think that this was a drastic change for anyone let alone a 11 year old girl. Hey, what do I know, she is the daughter of the very rich and illustrious couple, Will Smith and Jada Picket, and I can see them allowing her to express herself even if it means, that she goes green with her hair and H.A.M with her wedge heels. I'm not hater but this look has to grow on me. Big ups to Willow... keep doing your thing. So far, it seems to be working. What do you think? Should an eleven year old be allowed to express himself

Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Dating?

Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Dating? Is a question that's posed to all of us. Not at this moment is what I say; after reading this article via www.globalgrind.com, I am convinced that this was a question being asked and implied by a blogger for global grind. However, I don't think that the possibility is that far fetched simply because, there have been speculation that the two have dating or messed around before. Earlier last year, Amber Rose conducted an interview in which she referred to Kim Kardashian as a homewrecker. She also went on the record stating that she knew for a fact that the two messed around while Kanye was dating her and Kim was dating Reggie Bush. As for the two being a couple now; a blog writer for global grind made a huge suggestion that the two should give it a try. Here is the very hilarious article as i read it via, www.globalgrind.com,

"We've all heard plenty of rumors about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hooking up and seeing each other through the fallouts of both of their past relationships.

There was a huge rumor swirling that they were caught in a love puzzle with Kanye's ex, Amber Rose and Kim's ex, Reggie Bush, who apparently did see each other for a short time after their break ups.

Once the pictures from last night hit the wire, I had an epiphany: Kim and Kanye should date each other. At first it might be shocking considering that Amber Rose put their love on blast by calling Kim a homewrecker. If you haven't heard, Amber claims one of the reasons she and the Watch The Throne rapper broke up was because of Kim's advances. Their budding relationship was only confirmed by Kim's sister Khloe, when she told Sway the duo tried to date around the time Kim broke up with Reggie."

"Is that a bit of joy on the face of Kanye West? Sure, it's covered in a helmet, but through the visor I sense happiness. Last night after Yeezie's amazing show for Paris Fashion Week, him, Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry passed the time with a bit of go carting. "

Congratulations Nicki Minaj: Nicki Sets A New Female Rap Record

Yay Nicki, Apparently Nicki Minaj's single "Super Bass", from the Pink Friday album has sold it's 4millionth digital. This is the first time a female rapper has ever had any single to reach the 4millionth plateau. I was definitely a fan of the Pink Friday album, I can't wait to see what else is in store for Nicki, as we eagerly await Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded

According to www.thatgrapejuice.net,

“Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” also tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s the first song by a female rapper to reach that plateau. No other songs by female rappers (as the lead artist) have hit even 2 million. Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” (featuring Drake) is second, with sales of 1,594,000. Missy Elliott’s “Lose Control” is third, with sales of 1,359,000. (Elliott’s biggest hits, including the mega-hit “Work It,” were released before the advent of digital, or in the early years of digital, when sales were slimmer.)” Check out Nicki's "Super Bass" video here.

Bobbi Kristina Makes Out With Her Adopted Brother

Wow, is all I could think after viewing these photo's. According to www.tmz.com, Bobbi Kristina and Nickolas Gordon are "more than friends".  If your unaware of Nickolas Gordon's identity, allow me to introduce him. Nickolas Gordon, as I previously reported, is Whitney Houston's adopted son of ten years. Whitney Houston adopted him ten years ago and raised him alongside Bobbi Kristina as her brother until her untimely death. The two have no blood relation; however, Nickolas has been living with the Houston family for over ten years and it is disturbing to know that legally, this guy is her brother. wtf.   Here is the story as I read it  via www.tmz.com,


"Whitney Houston's daughter engaged in some hardcore PDA  -- including a kiss -- with her secret BF yesterday ... a guy who happens to be her pseudo-adopted brother ... and TMZ has the video. 

19-year-old Bobbi Kristina was seen in a full-on lip-lock with 22-year-old Nick Gordon during a lunch run in Atlanta Tuesday ... confirming suspicions the two are romantically involved."

Whitney Houston's Mom Confront's Patricia Houston

Patricia Houston is pictured with Oprah during her interview

Apparently, Whitney Houston's mom didn't hesitate to confront Patricia Houston, her daughter in law, shortly after learning that she learned that she was the person who's responsible for Whitney Houston's casket photo leak. According to www.sandrarose.com,

"a source close to Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy Houston, revealed that Cissy confronted the traitor who sold the final photo of Whitney in an open casket to the National Enquirer.

The Houston family source said Cissy “had a come-to-Jesus moment” with the guilty party and demanded the alleged six-figure fee for the photo be donated to charity.

Insiders are whispering that the person who sold the final photo was most likely Whitney’s closest friend and sister-in-law, Pat Houston, who signed at least one deal to profit off of Whitney’s death. Whoever sold Whitney’s final photos to the Enquirer had private access to the death scene in Beverly Hills and the funeral home in New Jersey where Whitney’s body was kept for 5 days.

After Whitney died tragically in her Beverly Hills hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, the National Enquirer published photos of the food tray in Whitney’s hotel room, the still-wet bathroom and Whitney’s open casket.

Whitney only traveled with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, her sister-in-law Pat, and her bodyguard. Sources believe that Pat and the bodyguard may have conspired to sell the final photos for a big payday.

In the 90-minute special for Oprah’s Next Chapter, which aired on Oprah’s OWN Network on Sunday, Pat told Oprah that she was upset with the person whopublished the photographs — not who sold the photos. A strange choice of words.

There is also the product placement during Pat’s interview with Oprah. I won’t mention the name of the company, but their products were on prominent display throughout the interview."

This does not come as a surprise to me, after watching the Oprah interview, she just didn't appear to be all that genuine to Whitney. She was too free to speak negatively in regards to Whitney and the family. I think she is just a pathetic individual who is just as thirsty as the next leach. Since, Whitney's untimely death, there have been so much public scrutiny and disrespect in regards to her and her family. I think that Patricia Houston's casket photo stunt was by far the tackiest most disgusting display of disrespect displayed thus far; especially because she claims to have loved Whitney so much. What kind of person does such a thing? If not out of respect for Whitney, she should've at least thought of her child, and her mother.  What's even more disgusting to me is that she just keeps conducting interviews as Whitney's closest friend; with friends like this, who needs an enemy? This is another one of those things that just makes you wonder "What Is This World Coming To"?

Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson and Evelyn Lozada Lands A Basketball Wives Spinoff on VH1

TMZ.com is reporting, that sources have confirmed that Ochocinco and Evelyn have signed a deal to do a  "Basketball Wives" spinoff. I can't wait to watch this; these two are hilarious. Apparently, this spinoff was part of the Evelyn's, "Basketball Wives" unbelievable contract, that warranted her return to the show; after the rumors flew that she wouldn't return for a fourth season. I'm wondering....What does this mean for the "Basketball Wives"?

TMZ.com reports:

"Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada have signed their deal to do a "Basketball Wives" spinoff show with VH1 ... and they each have 300,000 reasons to celebrate ... TMZ has learned. 

According to our sources, filming on the new show will begin in the next few weeks, right after taping for  "Wives" ends. We're told the show will focus on the couple as they get ready to exchange vows this summer. 

Our sources say negotiations finally wrapped last week and the two will each take home $300,000 for about two months of work. 

As TMZ first reported, when Evelyn re-upped her contract with "Basketball Wives" last year, part of the deal called for VH1 to give her and Chad their own show. 

The show should be officially announced this week."

Rihanna Goes To Dinner Nearly Topless

OMG! My first thoughts when I got wind of this photo of Rihanna on her way to dinner last night; braless. Rihanna had just returned from Brad Pitt's, "Make It Right Foundation"; where she and Kanye West performed "Run This Town" in New Orleans. Well it seems that Ri-Ri loves attention and, the media loves to give it to her. First it was the topless tweets made on twitter, and now it's see through, show off your nipples, shirt, kind of makes you wander what's next.

According to www.globalgrind.com,

"Before showing up almost topless in New York City, Rihanna was getting her charity on at Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation fundraiser in New Orleans, where she was asked about Snooki becoming a mother. 

In true RiRi form, she answered, "That's dope," without missing a beat. "We need more Snookis in the world!"

As many of you know, Snooki is expecting her first child and recently opened up about how she plans on giving birth."

Lil Kim Tweets: BET's 106th and Park's Host Rocsi Is "disrespectful"

{photo: John Ricard via www.thatgrapejuice.net}

As you all may already know, yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the death of the Notorious B.I.G. and, 106th and Park kicked off the show with Lil Kim as a guest. Apparently, that wasn't enough; because Lil Kim  starting being very disrespectful and just downright rude to BET's host Rocsi during the live taping. You can view it here as she just straight up dismisses a question that Rocsi asks, and then continues on to tell Rocsi "Ya'll were already in a movie". Now correct me if I wrong, but isn't it Lil Kim that's trying to make a comeback?  Big ups to Rocsi as she  appears to be extremely uncomfortable. I think that she is just trying to create some beef that she can alienate. i.e. anyone other than Nicki Minaj who clearly refers to her as a "Lab Rat", and says and I quote, "Stupid Hoes are my enemy, Stupid Hoes are so whack, Stupid Hoe should've befriended me, and she could've probably came back".  I for one think she is just trying to recapture an audience and what better way to do it than to start beef with some one who is pretty much defenseless. It so sad, and actually speaks volumes about her. This should've been tweeted as #lilkimwhackashell.

According to www.thatgrapejuice.net,


"BET should have thought twice before opening up their doors to Lil Kim again.

For, after turning a blind eye to a jab she poked at them last summer, today saw the network invite the Queen Bee on their ’106&Park,‘ to promote her new single and discuss the 15th anniversary of Biggie Smalls‘ death.

However, in what has dampened in what should have been a ‘picture perfect’ promo stint, Kim has hit out at the show’s host, Rocsi Diaz- labeling her ‘disrespectful’.

Lil Kim Tweeted:

"Even when Rocsi tried to get disrespectful towards the end & ask an unappropriate irrelevant question...."

Much like her surgical work, Kim really did overdo it.

While we understand her need to shut down the topic of Minaj before it was brought up, we can’t understand why she took to Twitter to bash Rocsi, who- by all standards- showed her nothing but respect.

What a shame- it’s almost as though she enjoys burning bridges."

I totally agree with www.thatgrapejuice.net, this is not a good look for someone attempting to comeback. Shot out to Rocsi for remaining cool, calm, and collective.

Coolio's Son Arrested - Here Is The Mug Shot

Apparently, Coolio's son has resulted to a life of crime.  This is the craziest story i've read thus far;

Here is the complete story as I read it via www.tmz.com

"TMZ has learned ... 22-year-old Grtis Ivey (who went by "Artis" on the reality show) ... was arrested on November 14, 2011 for allegedly busting into a Vegas apartment with a gun and forcing the tenant into the bathroom ... while he and a female prostitute named Shantrice Wilkerson ransacked the place.

But the back story is INSANE.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ ... Shantrice was trollin' at LAX nightclub at the Luxor on October 26 ... and met a guy named Joseph Hall ... who didn't know she was a call girl.

The two hit it off ... and Wilkerson told him that she had a "dream" of having sex on a pile of money.

Hall asked if $5,000 was OK ...  she agreed ... and the two eventually went back to Hall's apartment to grab the cash out of a safe.

According to the report, the two bounced to Wilkerson's pad to do the deed ... but before it went down, Wilkerson asked for money ... and Hall flipped out and left. But cops say, Wilkerson REMEMBERED where Hall lived ... and brought Grtis to the place 3 days later so they could rob it.

According to the report ... Grtis entered the pad with a gun ... and ordered Hall's rooommate into the bathroom while he and the hooker stole a safe, 2 iPads, 2 laptops, passports, and anything else that wasn't nailed down.

Cops say the roommate was able to identify Coolio's son and the hooker -- and both were arrested on a slew of charges including robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny. "  Here is another one of those stories that makes me wonder "What Is This World Coming To"?

Whitney Houston Wills It All To Bobbi Kristina

Since the untimely death of America's Angel, Whitney Houston, speculation about her estate, and the financial beneficiaries have been great. Many stories and headlines named several individuals as airs to the pop diva's assets. Amongst some of the speculated beneficiaries were here adopted son Nicholas, and her daughter Bobbi Kristina. However, today I came across a story via www.globalgrind.com. 

The story read,

"It looks like we finally have an answer to that question, and that person is Bobbi Kristina.

TMZ reports:

Whitney Houston's 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina got inconceivably richer the day her mother died -- because the singer left Bobbi 100% of her assets in her will ... an estate valued at around $20 million.

According to reports, Whitney's will doesn't enumerate specific assets -- but she leaves ALL furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars to her surviving children ... i.e. Bobbi.

According to reports, Houston's money will be put in a trust -- which Bobbi will have access to in stages ... earning a portion when she turns 21, another chunk when she turns 25, and the rest when she turns 30.The will was just filed today in Atlanta. Whitney signed it back in 1993, a month before she gave birth to Bobbi. "  

So there ends the speculation, Bobbi Kristina is the one and only rich air to Whitney's throne. This comes as no surprise to me, as it seemed evident that Whitney adored her. While Bobbi Kristina is the air to a whole lot of money and assets, I know that this is all but a rejoicing time for her. As she is still faced with the harsh reality, that her mom is no longer with her. I know that no sum of money can replace the love and presence of a mother. May god be with you Bobbi Kristina.

Texas Girl Scouts Robbed and Dragged Over Cookie Money

OMG! My thoughts exactly, as I came across this article detailing the robbery of two girls scouts selling cookies in front of a Texas Walmart. I don't know what's more disturbing, the two men stealing money from hard working young girls, or the fact that one of them proceeding to drive and drag a girl with him attempting a get away.  Some people have nothing better to do with their time; stealing from a noble organization like the girl scout is ridiculous. Another one of those things that make you wonder what is this world coming too?

According to www.gather.com,

 On Sunday, March 4, 2012, two girls in Sugar Land, TX, fought hard to save their Girl Scout cookie money from two bandits. One girl punched the passenger and the other was drug by the vehicle as she tried to hang on. Girls getting robbed selling cookies, what is the world coming to?
The girls were set up outside a Wal-Mart store selling cookies, as is typical in cookie season for the girl group. A car pulled up with two men inside, one man asked question about the cookies and distracted the girls while the other stole their cash box. Great plan guys, distract two girls and take the money they've worked hard for. Standing in a Wal-Mart parking lot all day selling cookies only to have your money stolen is horrible.
That's when the two girls jumped into action. Fox 4 News reported, "Rachel Johnson and Iravia Cotton, both Senior Cadet scouts, reacted without thinking of their own safety." Cotton punched the passenger while Johnson tried to hold on to the car as they got away. Johnson ended up with minor injuries from being dragged, which is a blessing as it could have been much worse.

 According to Fox 4 News, the dark-colored Toyota the men were driving had paper over the license plate and the video of the incident didn't give a clear picture of the men.
For the future, the girls have a plan of action, "The girls say they'll be more careful in the future about interacting with people, and maybe have a troop leader pick up money more often. Still, they can't believe someone would take advantage of a charity." The news report stated that one of the girls was 15 years old, but didn't give an age on the second girl. One would think that an adult troop leader would need to be present for safety reasons.
Hopefully, a good samaritan will help replace the $200 the girls lost. To the robbers, how pathetic that you resort to taking money from others, especially girls selling cookies. This story should be a warning for other Girl Scout troops; keep hold of your cash box and have adult troop leaders on site."

Lamar Odom Has Been Dropped From the NBA

Above Lamar Odom is pictured with wife, Khloe Kardashian

Not that this news comes as a shock; Lamar Odom has been dropped from the Dallas Mavericks season roster and placed on the developmental league roster. Apparently, Odom's best seasons,  where the  NBA is concerned, are behind him. This decision has come just after Odom was traded last year from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks. Now, call me crazy but I figured things were not going so good with Odom's career when the his reality show, "Khloe and Lamar", aired an episode that featured Rob, (Khloe Kardashian's younger brother's) invite to the all-star game. Let me remind you that Rob Kardashian was not and has never been in the NBA, but coincidentally, that very same episode touch on the harsh reality that Lamar Odom, (who by the way was a Los Angeles Laker  at that time) had not been invited.  Shortly, afterwards the Lakers traded Lamar to the Dallas Mavericks.  Again, I'm no  Lakers or Mavericks fan but, I realized then that his career was really in trouble.  The Lakers were champs last year while they housed him as a player; yet, they traded him to a team that of lesser statue.

Meanwhile, ESPN did report that Odom will still receive his $8.9 million salary.  I don't know what goes on with these particular sports leagues, and their player who star in reality shows. It seems that reality shows are detrimental to the careers of pro athletes plain an simple. While this is solely my opinion, I think that this is evident, with Terell T.O Owens first, Chad Ochocinco second, and now Lamar Odom. Although, this is not a great boost for his ego, he should probably view the bright side of the situation; at least  he will still receive his annual salary of $8.9 million.
