GOOD LORD So Webbie was smoking that Mulah…and threatens to Attack Terrance J over ROSCI?
Rapper Webbie posted a video where he threatened to beat up Terrence J for getting him kicked off "106 & Park." Now...why would Terrence J be concerned about Webbie?
Webbie claims that he has a big endowment I guess (of course he didn't use that word) and that he offered fellow Louisiana chick Rocsi some. When Terrence J found out about it, he supposedly had Webbie banned.
Now, this may or may not be true....but that's not even important. Keep your eye on his left hand. In his right hand is a cigarette, and in his left hand is something else. You might think its weed...but watching the video, one might assume he graduated to something stronger a long time ago. Is Webbie smoking that -ish?
You be the judge.


By the way, he also tweeted this threat:
Not holding no beef with @TerrenceJ he a wanna be ass nigga. Ima just simply beat him up when I catch him.
I have no words for these drop outs!!!

CONFESSIONS UNDER THE BRIDE AND NOT ON A DANCE FLOOR?
Madonna’s brother is homeless and lives under a bridge in Michigan
On the street: Madonna's eldest brother Anthony Ciccone is homeless in MichiganGlamour: Madonna at the premiere of W.E., the film she directed, in London at the weekend
I find it fascinating and sad when I hear stories of celebrity relatives who are getting by on public assistance or who are homeless. (Actually, I haven’t heard of any homeless celebrity relative except for Tobey Maguire’s grandfather, who used to live in his car but now gets social security and has a subsidized apartment.) I don’t think it’s the celebrity’s responsibility or that they should have necessarily done something to help, I just wonder how the person to that point. Did the celebrity offer to help at all, did they not know about it, or do they think their relative should figure it out themselves? Did multiple attempts to get them help fail? You might give the celebrity the benefit of the doubt, but in Madonna’s case I tend to think that she ignored it.
Family ties: The Ciccone clan pictured at a family reunion in 1986. From left: Anthony, then 30, Jennifer, 18, Paula, 27, Christopher, 26, Madonna, 28, Mario, 17, Melanie, 24 and Martin, 29
As part of a story on local services for the homeless, a Michigan newspaper did a brief interview with Madonna’s 55 year-old brother, Anthony Ciccone, who lives under a bridge, returns bottles to make a living, and has suffered frostbite on his feet. Anthony told The Michigan Messenger that his “family turned their back on me,” and that he’s been homeless for over a year.
Ciccone said he’s been among the city’s homeless for a year and a half since losing a job at his father’s vineyard and winery in Suttons Bay. He said that it annoys him that some people are amused that a person from such a high profile family would end up sleeping, as he does, under the Union St. bridge.

“My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time,” he said. “You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times — why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I’m homeless on the street?”

“Never say never,” he said. “This could happen to anybody.I don’t have any income, I’ve got to go collect bottles and cans, do odd jobs.”
Despite the uncommon community effort to help the homeless here, there are gaps, and Ciccone was among several locals who got cold-related injuries last winter.
“They can’t do everything all the time for everybody, they just don’t have the resources,” he said. “These people that run these things are all volunteers, they don’t get paid to do these things.”

In the cold seasons the church shelters usher people out at 8 am and city rules against camping and camp fires make staying warm difficult.
“Where do you go at 8 o’clock on a Sunday morning and you have no money in your pocket?”
Cold comfort: Anthony Ciccone sleeps beneath this bridge with a friend in Traverse City, Michigan
If you spend enough time on frozen concrete without proper insulation you will get frostbite, he said. “You have no idea how gruesome it is.”

“You get nerve damage. That’s the milder stage, in the severe stage you have tissue damage, that is when you lose parts of your body.”
“I got frostbite on my feet last winter, Ciccone said. “A friend of mine lost all ten toes. Several have died of hypothermia.”
“You go and find a place to stay warm like the lobby at the jail, or you take a walk to get your feet warm and go to Meijer’s and sit in the lobby there.”

[From The Michigan Messenger via THR]
Anthony is one of Madonna’s seven siblings: she has three brothers, one half brother, two sisters and one half sister. Anthony is Madonna’s full brother, born to their mother before she died of breast cancer at just 30.
It’s probably not much of a leap to assume this guy has addiction problems which lead to him losing his job at the family winery. Madonna is worth $650 million, though. How much would it take for her to get her brother in rehab and to pay for a small home for him to stay in, even a minder to help keep him sober? He’s a grown man and of course he’s not her responsibility. She has more resources at her disposal than most of us could ever dream of, and she could make a few phone calls and ensure that her brother is safe and warm. That seems like the most reasonable and charitable thing to do, but Madonna has never been either.
The last we heard from one of Madonna’s siblings, another one of her brothers, Christopher Ciccone, published a tell all book about her called Life with My Sister Madonna. Christopher said that Madonna gave their then 97 year-old grandmother $500 a month and paid for her medical bills. Christopher said that wasn’t enough and that he wanted Madonna “to look after her. To get her a driver and a car.” Madonna’s grandmother passed away this March.

MISS KIMMY BLANCO BACK ON THE SCENE! Lil' Kim Performs At Club Area NYC


Lil Kim was spotted in NY last weekend where she took over a local nightclub.
The pint sized emcee hosted a party at Club Area in Harlem where she partied in V.I.P. before hitting the stage to perform her new track "O.D."
Check out pictures and video of Kimmy Hendrix hitting Area below.

As previously reported, Kim is featured on the track with Mook Murda and Ron Brownz under her new alias "Kimmy Hendrix."

"Tower Heist" World Premiere Draws Out the Stars
Taking to the red carpet to debut their latest project, Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller tended to press duties at the New York City premiere of "Tower Heist"
Joined in their efforts by co-stars Tea Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe and Matthew Broderick, who was accompanied by wife Sarah Jessica Parker, the Big Apple screening turned in to quite the well-attended affair.
Held at the Ziegfeld Theatre, the event found a bevy of other celebrities turning up to support the film including Tracy Morgan, Paz de la Huerta, Serena Williams and Donald and Melania Trump.
Due to hit theaters on November 4th, Doutzen Kroes and hip hop heavyweights Nas and Diddy also made their way to the east coast debut of the crime/drama caper about "a group of hard working guys who find out they've fallen victim to a wealthy business man's Ponzi scheme, leading them to conspire to rob his high-rise residence."

RUNWAY TODDLER! Meet the three-year-old who wears Chanel, walks runways and is muse to Karl Lagerfeld (just like his father)
A model dad: Hudson Kroenig, three, is the son of Lagerfeld muse, Brad Kroenig
Aww this cute. As far as resumés go, male model Hudson Kroenig's is very impressive.
He has walked the runway for Chanel, starred in a Fendi campaign and calls Karl Lagerfeld 'uncle.'
It's a little unnerving, then, that Hudson Kroenig is just three years old - and that he was just one when he provoked a thousand coos across the fashion world when modelling at Chanel's Paris Fashion Week show.
Dashing duo: The father and son team wowed Chanel's s/s 2011 audience in matching 'Canadian tuxedos' - Hudson was only one at the time
With a father like Brad Kroenig, super male model and close friend of Lagerfeld, Hudson's childhood was perhaps never destined to be dull.
In a set of photos that will make some melt and others shake their heads in despondency towards the state of high-end fashion, Hudson's wardrobe, complete with Chanel boots, Fendi hi-tops, designer scarves and vast range of Nike sneakers is paraded for the adult world to see.
Not to be out-done, the tiny blond's coutour Chanel 'Canadian tuxedo' - double denim, that is - sits alongside specially-made Karl Lagerfeld 'teddy bears'. Think cuddly toys with white fur, dark glasses black blazers and signature high collars.
Describing the photos at The Coveteur, father Brad, 32, is more than happy to accentuate his son's premature fashion prowess.
'Hudson loves doing pictures with Karl and was so excited to go to Paris for the Fendi shoot. He talked about it for weeks,' narrates Lagerfeld muse, Snr.
Designer threads: Alongside his bespoke Chanel clothes are pictures of Hudson photographed with Lagerfeld and a favourite 'Uncle Karl' teddy
The boy is most likely unable to write his name yet, let alone understand the sartorial concept of 'layering', so it is with a pinch of salt that we take this next comment: 'Hudson likes to get dressed up, especially in jackets & blazers. This is one of his favorites. He loves accessories and loves to layer items. Scarves are his new favorite.'
The words hover next to a light blue striped summer blazer by Crewcut and a Fendi scarf, aviator sunglasses tucked into the outfit's collar.
Brad, who has been the face of campaigns for DKNY, Gap, H&M and Roberto Cavalli, is even the subject of Metamorphoses of an American, a book chronicling the Florida native's modelling career by Karl Lagerfeld.

Describing a tiny grey vest, the proud father says: 'This is the vest he wore in the Fendi Campaign' - as shot by Lagerfeld - while a bold pair of silver and blue Nikes are apparently chosen by the mini model himself.
'He loves Nikes & thinks all the different colors are cool. We always let him pick which pairs he wants to buy from the store,' says Brad.
'Karl has been so kind and sweet with Hudson. Hudson loves spending time with him and gets so excited when Karl comes to NYC or when we go to Europe to visit him,' he goes on.
The Chanel creative has photographed the budding fashionisto a number of times, and one shot shows a framed photo of Hudson, as taken by Uncle Karl. The child even sleeps with one of Lagerfeld's gifted dolls.
Very Fendi: Not your average toddlers' hand-me-downs, a Fendi jumper is displayed next to another photo of the 3-year-old by Largerfeld
Perhaps taking a lead from his Chanel stylists, Hudson seems a particular fan of the cowboy asthetic.
'He loves his cowboy boots!! He even wears them in the sandbox at the playground!' says the former Abercrombie & Fitch face and self-declared ladies' man.

'Hudson loves to take pictures with Daddy. He definitely looks up to Daddy and thinks its cool to participate in special shoots. Hudson always talks about all the "pretty model girls," already a ladies man. Wonder who he takes after…'
To be fair, though, it'd take a hard woman not to be charmed by the toddler - especially if he's on the hand of his dashing father.

TYRESE YOU NEED SOME DAMN MANNERS!
Bestselling author Tyrese is being calling out by folks for not acting "proper." Apparently people are insulted by Tyrese's behavior and demeanor during a recent video interview. While chatting with media in Baltimore, Tyrese ate fried chicken and burped several times. In between chatting about the other R&B cats he's feeling and his new Teddy Pendergrass biopic.
Now Tyrese is being slightly defensive on Twitter.
Oh Well?

For her Birthday Monica takes her kids to The Scream Tour in Atlanta.
Happy Birthday to Monica! Baby Girl is still out here grinding and working hard as the day she’s come out. Currently, she’s gearing up to release her 7th studio album, New Life, and recently performed at Howard’s homecoming R&B concert.

I’m hearing that Monica’s got a lot of big projects coming up. I’m not sure on the specifics, but I know that whatever it is, she’s going to be great! Keep your eyes on the lookout!..Go Monica!

Choosing a New Pastor At Zachery Tims Church
*The Christian Post says the late Zachery Tims’ church, New Destiny Christian Center, revealed on Friday one of the requirements needed for applicants looking to take over the senior pastoral role the charismatic preacher left vacant when he died in August.
Following a report last week that NDCC was about to announce its basic requirements that would be instrumental in selecting an effective replacement for the late pastor “soon,” Minister Samuel Anderson, an executive administrator of the church, told The Christian Post Friday that NDCC is seeking “a pastor that is part of a husband and wife team.”

According to Anderson, New Destiny is desirous of a pastor who is part of a supportive married couple, that would be committed to each other as they commit to the message and growth of the Apopka, Fla., megachurch.
This is not out of keeping with the history of NDCC, which, many will recall, began due to the hard work and commitment of pastors Zachery and Riva Tims. After relocating from Baltimore, Md., in response to a directive by Zachery Tims’ pastor, the couple moved to Florida and, after hard work and great dedication, built a ministry that would eventually grow to a membership of 7,500 in just ten years.
The Tims, who share four children, divorced in 2009.

Since the death of her 42-year-old ex-husband, who was found unresponsive in a New York City hotel room on Aug. 12, many members of the church have called for Riva Tims to take up the mantle of leadership and become pastor of the megachurch.

BOO BOO!! Nicki Minaj Revealed as Rick Ross' Ghostwriter
Nicki Minaj, a popular female rapper, reportedly wrote rapper Rick Ross’s new single “You the Boss,” over two years ago.
MusicMinaj, who constantly creates alter egos (Roman Zolanski, Martha Zolanski, and Nicki Teresa, to name a few) was speaking in the third person at the time she revealed the news.
On the set of rapper Birdman’s “Y. U. Mad” music video, Minaj, as alter ego Female Weezy, said, “Nicki originally did [You the Boss] for Wayne two and a half years ago.”
Lil’ Wayne neglected to use the song at the time of its creation.
"It was just lingering, and then she gave it to Rick Ross," said the hip-hop queen. "I think it's hot."

In the hip-hop music genre, “ghostwriting,” or the practice of writing verses for others to then recite and claim as their own, is taboo.
Rappers will rarely admit that they have used ghostwritten verses, for fear of attacks on their credibility.
Widely credited as one of the best rappers, face of hip-hop Jay-Z said, "I get paid a lot of money to not tell you who I write for,” to Vibe Magazine some years ago.
Ross, who suffered two seizures last week Friday, could not be reached for comment.

The rap heavyweight Ross was on his way to Memphis, Tennessee to perform at a college when his private plane had to be grounded. The seizures put the star in the hospital.
“We actually been talking about him and praying for him on the trailer because he’s such a crucial part of hip-hop right now and we’re just hoping he’s healthy,” Minaj said in an interview with MTV News. “That’s all we can do is pray and hope that he gets some rest and comes back stronger.”
"I spoke to Ross. Ross is doing good, he's doing well" rapper Red Cafe told MTV News’s Sway. "He does a lot… And sometimes everybody needs to slow down a bit and take some personal time."

Ross’s fifth solo LP, God Forgives, I Don’t, is expected to do well. The two singles released over New York’s Hot 97 radio received positive reception, and the album is due Dec. 13.

Matt Barnes & "Basketball Wife" Gloria Govan Are DONE. THIS TIME FOR REAL!
Matt Barnes and gloria govan
I have a feeling certain Miami BBW's are going to have something to say soon. But Matt and Gloria have recently decided to end their relationship. Matt emailed out a statement today about the split:
“I’d like to address the rumors surrounding mine and Gloria’s relationship. We have reached the difficult decision of ending our relationship and will be going our separate ways at this time. We will work together to raise our sons and wish each other only the best.”

And Gloria just tweeted her statement saying:
I'm sure you guys are hearing a ton of buzz about Matt and Me breaking up, sorry to say... its true!!! But the most important thing is focusing on my kids and continuing to have a good relationship with their father, thanks for your support!!!
The L.A. Times reports a heated twitter exchange between Matt (this dude and his damn Tweets) and a fan was a tell-tale sign:
Perhaps the most telling sign regarding Barnes' feelings about Govan came last week during a Twitter exchange with a fan. That person suggested Barnes should marry her or else someone else will. Responded Barnes: "He can have her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Meanwhile, Govan retweeted the following message on Saturday: "If someone is dumb enough to walk away, be smart enough to let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you."

The two share 3-year-old twins Carter Kelly & Isaiah Michael, as well as a home in Palos Verde. Well the next season of Basketball Barely Wives should be interesting....

Oprah Winfrey Hosts "An Evening with Ralph Lauren"
Gathering together for a swanky soiree in the name of fundraising, the biggest names in entertainment and fashion joined forces at the Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday night (October 24).
As for the festivities, lovely ladies such as Jessica Alba, Camilla Belle, Uma Thurman and Naomi Watts were among those in attendance for the event dubbed as "An Evening with Ralph Lauren".
Hosted by Oprah Winfrey, who was decked out in a custom-made red gown by Lauren, the proceeds benefited The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
With other guests including Michael J Fox, Jerry Seinfeld, Lily Aldridge, Chanel Iman, Al Roker and Steve Buscemi, the paying partygoers were treated to a multimedia presentation and runway display.
Topping things off, Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared Monday as The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention Day.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Aisha Tyler Named New Co-Host Of "The Talk"
After appearing on CBS' newest female-driven roundtable talk-show for a week, likely as part of a live audition, comedian-actress Aisha Tyler was just named as the new co-host of "The Talk."
After Holly Robinson-Peete and Leah Remini were given the boot with no explanation, making plenty of fans pissy, CBS has named the second new replacement.
Deadline Hollywood reports Aisha Tyler will kick off her new co-hosting duties at the roundtable today. And we're loving it.

The married actress did fabulously during her week guest-hosting stint. And 41-year-old Aisha has been in the acting & comedy game for over 15 years. Her long resume includes becoming the first black actress to appear on "Friends" back in 2003. And she's got a long list of tv shows she's guest starred in including "CSI," "24," "Ghost Whisperer" and a voice on the animated series "Archer." She also formerly was a co-host on E!'s "Talk Soup."
Sheryl Underwood was also cast about a month ago as an official co-host and, although she wouldn't be my choice for a replacement, she's actually has been getting better every week.

You feeling Aisha as the new co-host?

OOOPS Andre 3000 not invited to Beyonce’s “Party”
Back in August when Beyonce was shooting the video for 'Party' ft Kanye West and Andre 3000, no pictures of 3 Stacks ever leaked out from the video set
There's a reason for that. Andre 3000 is not in the video. His vocals have been scratched from the record entirely and Roc Nation artist J.Cole adds a verse for the remix to be used for the video, instead...

The video is out now: 
You can listen to both tracks and decide for yourself how J. Cole stacks up against Andre 3000.

And finally from “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“Makin’ Somethin’ Out Of Nothin’”
