THEY’RE BACK…….Basketball Wives Season 4 Cast Photoshoot

It’s a new dawn and a new day for Basketball Wives, with the departure of Meeka and addition of two new cast members, so by the time the finale airs in May, it could look like a completely different show from last season. The new season includes two new ladies: Kenya Bell, who was previously arrested for stabbing her husband (!) and Kesha Nichols, whose fiance called off their engagement the day before the wedding.

The new episodes will delve into many different topics, including Evelyn & Jennifer's beef, Royce & Susie starting new chapters in their lives and Shaunie & Tami focusing on their businesses.

We're sure there'll be hair pulling, name throwing, a whole lot of cursing and gossiping - just another day in the life of a basketball wife.

MOMMY LEFT US ON THE CORNER…ALONE???

A mother has been arrested after she abandoned her two daughters aged just three and five on the street with only a few extra diapers.

Dalisha Adams, 26, from Brooklyn, was picked up by police on Sunday night after leaving her children in the cold near housing projects in Brooklyn around 3pm.
Two women came across them and stayed with the young girls until police arrived.

Though they were bundled up warm wearing hooded down coats and Ugg boots, they seemed shaken up and very confused as to why they were abandoned near Bayview Housing Projects on Shore Parkway in Brooklyn, according to the New York Daily News.
The Bay View Houses are about a mile-and-a-half from the Breukelen Houses, where Adams lives with her daughters and their eight-year-old sister, who was with relatives when the incident happened.

A neighbour of the mother claims she often heard Adams screaming at her children.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, told the New York Daily News: 'She was always yelling at the kids, "Shut the f*** up".
'One day, I heard her curse out the little baby, "I’ll punch you in the f***ing face.'
She also said she heard more shouting on Sunday shortly before the girls were abandoned.
'A kid was crying. She was saying, "Stop crying, shut the f*** up. I'm gonna get you out of here",' she said.
Other neighbours said the children were always well dressed and clean but a resident of the housing project they lived at told the Daily News she would often shout and curse at them and pull on their arms.

Five-year-old Domini told the Daily News her younger sister was called Dioni and they lived in a blue house with flowers in front of it on 53rd street, but she did not know which borough of New York it was.
'A kid was crying. She was saying, "Stop crying, shut the f*** up. I'm gonna get you out of here"'
She also said her mother's name was Dalisha and she drove a white car.
The older daughter, who said her name was Domini, told a photographer: 'Mommy just left us on the sidewalk and drove away.'

The children showed no signs of physical abuse but were taken to Brookdale University Hospital for observation.
Just after 10pm on Sunday night, police arrived at Adams' house and opened the door with a crow bar, but she was not at home.
Adams was arrested after police matched the girls' identity with photo records from Administration for Children’s Services, where the children are currently in custody.
Adams was charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, police said.
Police were alerted to the the abandoned children by an elderly couple who found them standing at a busy intersection with the diapers in their arms as cars zoomed by them.
The girls’ grandmother, Bertha Davia, said it was all a misunderstanding and is asking ACS to place them in her care.

The 52-year-old told Eyewitness News that she lives in the complex next to where the children were left and the mother must have intended to leave her children in her care.
She said she is furious her daughter never told her the children were coming and only realized what had happened when she saw their picture on the news.
'She left them on the corner here. I live all the way over there. And they was roaming the hallways and all that. Why would she do that to my grandkids? For what reason?'
Although she is angry over the incident, she said she does not believe the two girls were abandoned on a street corner and it was just a big misunderstanding. 

Michelle Davis, 43, from Brooklyn, told the Daily News: 'They were wandering up and down the sidewalk for a while, just playing by themselves.
'It’s horrible. How could you leave your own children out there? They’re babies and you just leave them out there like that?'

The police said both children were in good condition after being checked over in hospital and were now in the care of the ACS, who did not immediately respond to an inquiry.

Seal Says There Will Be No Divorce

Seal says he and estrange wife Heidi Klum are not divorcing, Heidi just needs some time alone.
Rumors have been flying for about a week now that singer Seal and his German wife, model Heidi Klum, are calling it quits.

The couple has been married for seven years and enjoy 4 children together. For Seal, saying that this is all coming to an end is a bit much.

The singer agrees that he and Heidi have grown apart but saying their isn’t any hope left for the couple is taking things a bit too far.

When Seal was asked if he and Heidi would ‘kiss and make up’, he answered: “There is nothing to make up, we aren’t fighting, we aren’t divorcing. Legally, we are still together”.

Klum and Seal are separated at this point but not divorced. And Seal said he isn’t sure if the two will get back together.

Since their separation, Klum is been living at the Beverly Hills hotel by herself and without her kids, while Seal still lives in their Los Angeles’ villa with their kids Leni (7), Henry (6), Johan (5) and Lou (2).

Heidi Klum said she needs some time for herself.

OH MISS MARLO…HOW COULD YOU? Marlo Hampton: I'm SORRY About Slur, I ADMIRE The Gay Community!

Marlo Hampton is sorry y'all. When she got all in her feelings on Sunday’s episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" during a catfight with Sheree Whitfield, she dropped the F bomb (the one that rhymes with maggot). And the Housewives (and many viewers) were pretty shocked.

video#2: http://www.bravotv.com/video/embed/?/_vid17787972

Now, she's taken to her website to issue a long apology.

The utter foolery that was last night's South Africa trip episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" rasied many an-eyebrow. For one, the fact Sheree & Marlo were literally across the world fighting like 10-year-olds over ish like Marlo not getting invited to Sheree's friend's party (despite the fact the two are NOT friends) is just embarrassing. And secondly, dropping a gay slur, or any slur for that matter--just because you're mad--when you claim many of the people in that community are like family to you, is just odd.
Sheree mentioned that her friend was gay, after the girls asked if this was more than a friend to her. In the video above, when the uninvited Marlo got offended that Sheree didn't invite her to Sheree's friend's party, she went off.

Marlo's exact words: "Well anyway, that's why you don't have a man. Go and hang with them f*****s with your ugly ass."
As usual, Marlo used her gift of too much gab to apologize and explain her actions. She expressed her disappointment in herself and stated she wants to continue to build her "strong relationship" with the gay community.

Here's what she posted on her website:

It is with great disappointment in myself and sincere regret that I would like to issue to my friends, my most ardent supporters, and my followers, this statement:

I would like to offer from the bottom of my heart the fullest and most heartfelt apology for my recent use of an anti-gay slur. When I used this word, I was not mindful of the demeaning connotation that this has in the gay community. My speech was irresponsible, thoughtless and said with the intention of conveying anger rather than as a statement on my feelings towards the gay community as a whole.
My first action, after the incident was to contact my closest friend and assistant of 8 years and to confess what I had done, to express my sadness and regret, and to ask him for his forgiveness. I was devastated at the thought of having hurt or embarrassed him as well as any member of the gay community and relish this opportunity to publicly apologize. My friends have embraced me, supported me, withheld judgment of me and have meant a lot to me over the years. I would never abuse their kindness and friendship and would never want to hurt them or demean them in any way.

I applaud and admire this community for their triumph over a sometimes harsh, mean spirited society that discriminates and even violently attacks those who are different. These are obstacles that I relate to and that I have been inspired by them to overcome. I celebrate this community and am saddened by any indication otherwise, that my actions may have caused.
I look forward to continuing to build my strong relationship with you, my followers and supporters, and those of you who do not yet know me and my heart. I look forward to work to regain your trust, respect and your love which has so empowered me over the years. I also thank you for allowing me to address you personally and to let you know how deeply sorry I am.

With Love,

Marlo

Sigh. Meanwhile, her friend and hairstylist Lawrence Washington, who also appears on "RHOA", tweeted last night:
Marlo and I have spoke about the comment she made 2 Sheree. There was no shade@ me personally. We r great friends and truly value each other. Marlo LIVES for the Kids!!! And so does Sheree! I love them both dearly!

Alrighty then...

Amber Rose; The Girl with the Mike Tyson Tatoo!

With her shaved head and dangerous curves often on show in daring outfits, Amber Rose is certainly no chameleon.
And now the 28-year-old model and aspiring singer appears to have had her face tattooed.
The former girlfriend of Kanye West was seen sporting a tribal design around her left eye as she hosted a party in Miami, Florida over the weekend with boyfriend rapper Wiz Khalifa.

The etching was very similar to former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson's tattoo, a tribal design also located on the left hand side of his face.
Whether or not Amber's inking is real, the vivacious blonde confidently showed off her new look.
She also flaunted her ample curves in a bright yellow tube dress, paired with a bleached and frayed denim jacket.

She accessorised with some wacky sunglasses and plenty of gold jewellery.
Amber was joined by her heavily tattooed boyfriend who looked cool and casual in a pair of rolled-up jeans, an open pink shirt and some black leather slipper-style shoes.
The pair partied in the VIP area of the club, enjoying complimentary drinks and the occasional cigarette.

Amber's new ink joins an array of tattoos located all over her voluptuous body.
They include a rose design on her arm, flowers adorned on her stomach and animal paw prints running up her thigh.
Amber recently debuted her new career as a recording artist.
Earlier this month she released her first single Fame, which features boyfriend Khalifa.
Amber, who rose to fame whilst dating her ex-West whom she was in a relationship for just under two years, said her influence for the track came from being under the spotlight.

'The song represents the ups and downs of fame and lets people know that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be,' Amber told RapFix.
'I have my own unique sound, I make music that I love and I hope that my fans and the people that embrace me will love it also!'
Amber has said in the past that Khalifa was the one who encouraged her to decision to break into the music world.
She revealed that the 24-year-old actually didn't hear the track until it became a finished product and that's when she asked him to appear on it.
'I made the entire song and then sent it to him, he was overseas on tour at the time,' she said. 'He thought the track was dope and I asked him if he would be on it, he said definitely.'

The 5'9 shaven-hair beauty is currently working on a full album but has decided to make it a slow process.
I’ve taken vocal lessons and I'm working on my album, but right now I'm in the beginning phases and I'm just taking my time,' she said.
Meanwhile Amber also made headlines earlier this month after claiming that Kim Kardashian cheated with her then-boyfriend West.

The model revealed that Kim and Kanye had enjoyed a secret affair while she was dating the singer and even said she asked Miss Kardashian to stop sending her boyfriend racy texts and pictures.
However Amber is said to have forgiven Kim and according to TMZ she said: ‘I forgive her…and I forgive Kanye too…it’s not a big deal, you know?

The Tax Man Liens on Bow Wow

Back in November news of Bow Wow's tax troubles surfaced which he vigorously denied [click here if you missed that]. Well, Bow Wow's non existent tax troubles just multiplied....

From TMZ
Bow Wow needs to hire himself a new accountant -- because not only does he have a tax lien against him for unpaid taxes from 2006 ... but now it turns out he owes backtaxes from 2008 and 2010 as well!
As TMZ first reported, a tax lien in Florida for the year 2006 put Bow Wow on the hook for $91,105.61. The lien has still not been paid off.

Now a new lien was filed on January 9, this time in Georgia, saying Bow Wow owes $15, 279.62 for unpaid taxes from 2008 and another $19.700.91 for 2010.

Put it all together ... and you've got $126,086.14.

Calls to Bow Wow's rep were not returned.

Actor Martin Lawrence celebrated his eldest daughter Jasmine’s 16th birthday this month. The celebrity bash was attended by lots of family and friends, including Khloe and Lamar Odom.
Khloe writes: “Martin Lawrence hosted a Sweet 16 party for his daughter Jasmine in Dallas and Lam and I were asked to come and surprise her. It was sooooooo fun for us to be a surprise LOL.

Gabriel Aubry Agrees to Anger Management

Last week Halle Berry's baby daddy Gabriel Aubry was accused of screaming at and pushing the nanny, resulting in a police report being filed.

Evidently Gabe has agreed to take anger management classes...

From TMZ
Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry met for hours Friday with representatives from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services ... and social workers concluded Gabriel needed to work on his anger issues ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told DCFS recommended that Gabriel take anger management classes and our sources say he agreed to enroll.
As one law enforcement source told us who is connected to the case, "Gabriel has a little bit of a temper, but the good news is that he realizes it."
The recommendation stems from an incident earlier this month in which Gabriel allegedly pushed the nanny while she was holding Nahla. Our sources say Gabriel told social workers he never touched the nanny and she was making the story up to curry favor with Halle.

Our sources say DCFS is not making any recommendations on changing the custodyarrangement. That will be left to the judge on Monday morning ... when Halle and Gabriel square off
again in court.

As first reported ... there's also a criminal investigation focusing on child endangerment and battery. Our law enforcement sources tell us they are confident Gabriel will NOT be prosecuted because it's a "he said she said" case. We're told the matter will be referred to the L.A. City Attorney next week but it's expected the Office will decline to prosecute.

THE ELTON MADONNA FUED HEATS UP RIGHT BEFORE THE SUPER BOWL

Sir Elton John has reopened his feud with Madonna by suggesting she will not be singing live during the half time show at America's biggest sporting event.
After his recent spat with the Queen on Pop at a film awards ceremony, the 64-year-old star was asked what advice he had for the her when she appears during the half time show at this Sunday’s Super Bowl.
'Make sure you lip-synch good' he said mischievously.

The comment to Madonna, a singer who prides herself on performing live, is likely to drive a even bigger wedge between two of the music industry's most successful stars.
Being chosen to sing at the Super Bowl, which attracts a worldwide audience of over one billion, is considered a highlight of any artists career.

Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen have all performed during the half time show.

Handbags at dawn: Madonna and Elton, pictured this month, are always at loggerheads with one another
But with Madonna headlining the event in Indianapolis on Sunday John was dismissive of the entertainment.
'I’ve never seen a decent one,' John said of the halftime performances that have become almost as important as the game. 'Never ever.'
John said he would never want to appear in the half time show but did have some sympathy for artists who are chosen to perform.
'You have to play live, but I don’t think you can,' he said.

'In all fairness to everyone who’s done one before, you may be able to sing live, but it’s really hard to play live.'
Madonna is expected to sing four songs, including her hit Vogue as well as her latest single Give Me All Your Luvin in a stage show that includes acrobats from Cirque du Soleil.
The 53-year-old always sings live at her concerts rather than like other artists such as Britney Spears who lip-synch to a backing track.
John's comments, made on the Good Morning America TV show, will anger Madonna who has spent the past fortnight rehearsing for her 12 minute appearance.

His jibe also reignites the bitter feud between the pair that surfaced earlier this month when both stars were nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song.
John fired the first shot by saying Madonna didn't have a '******* chance of winning' for her song 'Masterpiece' from her film 'W.E' as he walked the red carpet at the Los Angeles event.

When Madonna scooped the award, John's partner David Furnish took to his Facebook page to pour scorn on her victory.
'Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit,' he wrote.
'Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism. And her criticism of [Lady] Gaga shows how desperate she really is.'
Furnish later tried to calm matters down by apologising for his rant.

John's comments about Madonna lip synching were recorded over a month ago when he filmed a commercial for Pepsi that will be shown during the Super Bowl.
John poses as a King complete with a crown and ermine cape and stars alongside the winner of the US X-Factor Melanie Amaro in the 30 second commercial for the soft drink.
The singer also spoke about his 18 month old son Zachary during an interview with the Good Morning America show to promote the advert.

He said the toddler was already well travelled, having visited over half a dozen countries, including Australia, Singapore and Hawaii.
John said he and Furnish,49, took Zachary with them on their travels but said his son's globetrotting would be curtailed when he starts school.

Conrad Murray; Set Me Free!

The former physician convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson is requesting immediate release from prison...

Conrad is asking to be released on no bail pending results of the appeal.
