Andre 3000 Starts Shooting Jimi Hendrix Movie “All Is By My Side” In Ireland 

Andre 3000 After years of buzz about playing Jimi Hendrix in a biopic movie, is finally about to begin shooting.

All is By My Side, is scheduled to begin shooting later this month in Ireland.
The Irish Film & Television Network (IFTN), the film, titled “All Is By My Side,” will document the guitar legend’s period in England from 1966 to 1967 as he created his iconic debut album.
The feature, written and directed by John Ridley, is currently in pre-production in Wicklow, with principal photography set to begin in three weeks in both Wicklow and Dublin. The shoot is expected to last six weeks.

The film will also depict the moment Hendrix was discovered in a New York club by Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richard’s then girlfriend Linda Keith.
She subsequently introduced Hendrix to manager Chas Chandler who brought Hendrix to London in 1966, where he recorded his debut album “Are You Experienced” and had his first taste of success.

From 1966 to 67, Hendrix went on to formulate some of the greatest guitar-driven records ever made.

SAY WHAT????? Tamar and Jill Scott Get into Twitter Spat

*It seems like Tamar Braxton and Jill Scott don’t quite see eye to eye when it comes to Mary Mary’s TV show.

All Jill did Thursday night was tweet: “Please watch Mary Mary on WE tv. Finally a real representation. Yay!”

But apparently Tamar didn’t appreciate what she perceived as a slight to Mary Mary (or their WE tv show) from Jill.
Tamar posted: “*gets in her feelings* She won’t go there*she won’t go there*she won’t go there* she won’t go there*she prays and waits*.”

Then her sister Towanda made it two on one, tweeting: “Finally realizing how folk hate on [Braxton Family Values]….. Get a life!”

Towanda also added: “Opinions we can handle but black shade against black shade I can not!! We should all stick 2gether or say nothing! Suga, we know there is no competition and I applaud females doing their thing but the shade is apparent!”

But alas, Jilly from Philly refused to get snared into an online beef over what she thought was a non controversial comment not meant to hurt anyone feelings:

“U can’t be speaking to me,” Jill tweeted, shutting the ensuing Twitter battle down. “Ok grow all the way up people. Just because I love oranges doesn’t mean I HATE apples.”

WERK GIRLS…But seriously the boney Braxton;s don’t want none of Miss Jilly from Philly!

2012 MET BALL: Folks get GLAMOUROUS For VOGUE'S Event Of The Year

In New York City, the A-list put on their most glamourous looks and strutted alongside their designer dates at the 2012 MET Ball.
Held at The Metropolitan Museum, VOGUE's event of the year was a night full of glamour and beauty. New mom Beyonce looked FAB in this curve hugging floral embroidered sheer black gown which shifted into a bright purple feathered train.
The non stop workouts are paying off. The stunning diva's gown was designed and that purple train is it.

Bey looked phenomenal! For once I can truly say that!

Gorge. Rapper Azealia Banks was so star struck she tweeted, "I just met Beyonce and immediately burst into tears. ... I'm so embarrassed"

Rihanna wore a floor length crocodile Armani gown with a back slit and deep back V which showed off her slim and toned frame.

When you walk into a room rocking head to toe croc....you shut it down. Just wish the hair was up to par too.

Paula Patton arrived in a pale pink strapless organza style Vera Wang gown that didn't wow us. 

Feels very bridal as Vera always does. But she looked pretty nonetheless.

Those earrings, on the other hand, just made us gasp. Gorge!

Nice.

Posing with his lovely wife LaLa Anthony, Carmelo looked dapper in a custom Rag And Bone tux. 

And LaLa rocked electric blue floor length gown by Zac Posen. Fits her perfectly so we're loving it. 
Tom Ford came with Chanel Iman

Meanwhile, Rashida Jones looked innocent in a floral Tory Burch dress. Very cute for summer.

Solange arrived as the date of good friend Rachel Roy, and is wearing the designer of course. Canary yellow has always worked for little sis Knowles. An eye-popping stunning look completed with curls and a dazzling box clutch.

Before the event.....

Fashion forward couple Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys tweeted this pic saying, “On way to MET BALL with the Queen oh yes we're Busy body's :)”

Gorgeous looks.

Bruno Mars looked pretty spiffy in head to toe Prada.

And Kanye West wore a nice pair of pants that didn't fall down for a change and his typical scowl for the cameras.

Janelle Monae wore her signature black with a jeweled waistline and looked amazing. Who knew she had this tiny cute waist!

Rick Ross tweeted a pic from the gala...but sipped wine instead of Ciroc!

Rosario Dawson wore a fitted leather gown.

Umm...did M.I.A. even try?

LOL!! 
MODELS EFFECT!

FAB!. 

Tameka Raymond Threatened to Kill Usher?

In their on-going child custody battle Tameka Raymond testified in court that she did NOT threaten to kill Usher for bringing his girlfriend Grace Miguel to their sons school, she merely threatened to fuck them both up...

From TMZ
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster claims she never threatened to kill the R&B superstar, but she did admit under oath to saying "I will f**k you up" ... so you can see how he might have taken it the wrong way.
Usher and Tameka have been going through a bitter legal fight over custody of their two young children -- a fight that came to a head in a Georgia courtroom this past week. 

Tameka took the stand and, as you can see in this video, was questioned by Usher's attorney about her verbal and abusive threat towards the singer -- where she allegedly said "I will kill you both," referring to Usher and his current girlfriend.
Foster went back and forth with her answer before coughing up a half-admission, saying she didn't threaten to "kill" him ... but admitting, "I did probably, out of anger, say 'I will f**k you up' and it's not acceptable."
Foster claims the menacing statement was a result of Usher gallivanting in and out of town with his new GF, which was "embarrassing" for her in such a tight knit community.

Chick is so messy!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. & 50 Cent BABY MOMMAS Share Bedroom Details and MEAGAN GOODE TOO?

Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent, baby mommas Josie Harris and Shaniqua Tompkins sat down with Mommy’s Dirty Little Secret, in an exclusive tag team interview. Check out the details on their rocky relationships below, which is filled with domestic violence, fights with groupies, burning homes, and someone SLEEPING with actress Meagan Good!

Patricia Dean: How is your relationship with 50 right now?
Shaniqua Tompkins: It has its ups and downs. It’s a hard relationship to explain. He’s a bitter man, very bitter.

PD: Why is he bitter? Because you tried to sue him for $50 million?
ST: I didn’t sue him, he took me to court for child support, he sued me for defamation of character. The only time I tried to sue him is when he tried to evict me and his son from our home, the home he promised to give me.

PD: Why did he sue you for defamation?
ST: Because at the time the house burned down, I was asked in public who I thought burned my house down and I said he (50 Cent) did. When your money’s very long you can pay someone to do something. But that’s still you doing it, you’re just as guilty.

PD: Do you hold a grudge against him for that?
ST: No, because God wants you to forgive. I just had to let it go. Call it Karma, it all comes back. I don’t have to be mean or vindictive; we all get what’s coming to us.

ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, GROUPIES, MEAGAN GOOD

PD: Josie, how’s your relationship with Floyd? With all the cheating and domestic violence, do you forgive him?
Josie Harris (shown above): Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a d***. I have forgiven him, I’m over it. I did my s***. I’ve hit him over the head with a Tonka truck when I found out he was cheating on me. We had a pretty volatile relationship. Anyone who knows us, knows that. For him to put another ring on another chick’s finger, then come over to my house and try to control me and who I’m having sex with (C.J. Watson)… I mean that’s just him. She ain’t the only one that got a ring. He the ring master, there’s a couple people that got a ring. He’s just about that life. I didn’t deserve the abuse, my kids didn’t deserve to see that. We have gotten into to it before but what was most disturbing is that my son had to get help for me because had no idea how long it was going to last. Floyd’s bitch-ass friend was watching the whole time as he put his hands on me, he even tried to block my kid from leaving.

PD: How long was the violence in you and Floyd’s relationship going on?
JH: It started from the beginning, not the very, very beginning but it escalated. We started feeling like we were each other’s possessions. If I wasn’t violent with him, I’d get violent with the b*****s.

PD: How about you Shaniqua, did 50 ever get violent with you?
SH: Yes. When he put his hands on me in front of my daughter is when I knew the relationship was over. I’d never fight any of the girls he was messing around behind my back with though. Hoes are going to be hoes. I did have to call Meagan Good once. She claimed 50 was just a friend and he was helping her to get over a break up. She played her part well, as a good mistress does.

ON BEDROOM SKILLS

PD: How about 50 and Chelsea Handler? I heard she said he is ‘adequate’ in bed, and surprisingly he had no response to that. Is it true? How is he in bed?
ST: 50 is a bully, but he’s afraid of Chelsea, she’s bigger than him. As for him in bed…he’s okay.
PD: How about Floyd, how’s he in bed?
JH: He’s boring in bed.

Sounds like a reality show in the making…called “Black Men Exes”
Chroniclers, what do you think about Shaniqua and Josie’s interview?

Evoking Trayvon Martin, Partiers Allegedly Throw Bottles At Black Students

Allegedly taunting them with references to Trayvon Martin, a group of people on the roof of the Sigma Pi fraternity house reportedly threw bottles and other objects at black students who were walking by the house early Sunday morning, according to several accounts.

Sigma Pi President Zach Smith '13 said in an email Sunday afternoon that the fraternity has "figured out who the perpetrator was, and will turn his name over to police." The individual identified was not a brother of the fraternity, he said.
Cornell Chief of Police Kathy Zoner confirmed that people were "reportedly making racial references" and throwing bottles from the roof of Sigma Pi. She added that she could not disclose more information because the investigation, which is being led by Ithaca Police, is ongoing.

Beverly Fonkwo '14 said she was walking home with a friend when, unprovoked, the group on the fraternity roof began throwing objects that landed near a group walking behind them.
When the people walking behind Fonkwo asked them to stop, the people on top of the fraternity continued to throw objects -- including a Jack Daniels that landed near the group behind and an unopened beer can that landed near Fonkwo and her friend -- she said.

When they asked them to stop again, the group responded, "'Come up here, Trayvon,' and started making all these other racial comments," Fonkwo said. A black teenager from Florida, Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in February -- a death that was widely perceived as unprovoked and galvanized African American activists across the country.

"I feel like it was targeted and racially motivated ... we felt very threatened," Fonkwo said of the incident Sunday. Meanwhile, the assailants "were just laughing at the whole situation until we called the police and then they ran inside," she said.
Smith, the Sigma Pi president, said the fraternity is "sorry the incident happened on our premises." He said that a large number of outsiders -- including alumni and friends of brothers -- were attending the event.

Smith added that he was "shocked" upon learning of the incident later Sunday morning.

"We pride ourselves on having a very diverse house," he said. "It's not the character of our house and not any way we'd like Sigma Pi to be represented."
That may be of little consolation to Sade Samakinwa '14, who said she saw her friends outside the house "pretty shook up" after the incident.
"I think the most shocking thing was not that bottles were being thrown but that they were shouting Trayvon," Samakinwa said. "To use that boy's name so disrespectfully while disrespecting someone is absolutely insane." Sigma Pi President Zach Smith ’13 said in an email Sunday afternoon that the fraternity has “figured out who the perpetrator was, and will turn his name over to police.” The individual identified was not a brother of the fraternity, he said….WOW!!!!

The Real Reason Deion Hit Pilar

Deion and Pilar Sanders' bitter divorce came to a head after each accused the other of a physical attack one night after Deion Sanders was photographed on the red carpet with Tracey Edmonds
In recent court proceedings Pilar produced an audio recording of the entire argument leading up to the physical confrontation and it appears Deion attacked Pilar because she told him to shut up and called him a bitch...

From WFAA
Testimony resumed after lunch. Larry Friedman, Pilar's attorney, finished cross-examination with a few questions poking more holes in Deion Sanders' statements.
FRIEDMAN: You told Good Morning America you never touched Mrs. Sanders. Is that true.
DEION SANDERS: Yes sir.
FRIEDMAN: But that's not the truth. You did touch her.
DEION SANDERS: Yes sir.
FRIEDMAN: You told TMZ you would never touch a woman. But that's not the truth because you did touch Mrs. Sanders on April 23, 2012.
DEION SANDERS: Yes sir.
An audio recording of the April 23 argument between Deion and Pilar Sanders was just played in court that challenges some of Deion’s testimony and provides the first clear picture of the fight that led to the dramatic hearing underway right now. The recording lasted 26-minutes and begins with the sound of a piano playing. Pilar said it was the piano instructor playing. But Deion maintains that the piano instructor was not even in the house that day. Deion insists the person playing the piano was one of his sons.
On the recording, Pilar sounds calm when asking to see her 10-year-old son at Deion’s bedroom door. “I can’t let you in,” the couple’s 12-year-old was heard saying. “I’m not asking you to let me in,” Pilar said without raising her voice. “I’m not going to go in. Can you open the door? I give you my word.” 

The children sounded torn between the mother and father and were upset at their fights. The 12-year-old said his little brother was not going to come see his mother despite her pleas. “I’m his mother and this is the last time,” Pilar told the 12-year-old. “Tell him to come here and stop disrespecting me, his mother.”
Deion can then be heard calmly saying “Please get out of my room.”
“Shut up,” Pilar responded to Deion. “You don’t walk away with my kids! You hear me? They’re my kids. You want to kidnap my sons?! I have not seen them since Friday!” Deion kept repeating “please get out of my room.”
“Shut up!,” she said. On the stand, Deion shook his head up and down as if he remembered it.
“I don’t care about your daddy,” Pilar told the 12-year-old as he pleaded with her to leave him alone. “He means nothing to me. I’m trying to be very nice. This is still my house.”
“You’re the king of lies, Mr. Cheater!,” Pilar continued. “And you’re going to have my kids around the person you’re cheating with? You kidding me?!,” she exclaimed.
“Let me see my sons, please!,” Pilar continued. “I want to see my son that you kidnapped for three days. You did not have sole custody of him. You cannot do this,” Pilar said.
Deion again repeated calmly to Pilar to leave his room. “Shut up b***h!,” Pilar said.
No sooner did she say that than Pilar began screaming. Her legal team said her reply set him off and in reality she did not leap at him but he attacked her. It sounded as if a commotion or fight might have been underway. 

Pilar was screaming.
“GET OUT OF MY ROOM!,” Deion yelled. “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!”
“You’re such a little b***h,” she added as Deion screamed back at her. “You’re a sad excuse for a man,” Pilar told him.
“Get out of my house, please,” Deion continued. “Stop!” she said. Deion sounded like he lost his temper. “This ain’t no man!,” Pilar told her oldest son about his father.
Moments later, Prosper police officers arrived at the house and separated Deion and Pilar.

Jay-Z Says Blue Ivy Carter Will Be Spoiled

There's no denying that Blue Ivy Carter is the luckiest baby in Hip-Hop. Aside from calling Jay-Z dad and Beyonce mom, BIC is heir to a nearly $500 million throne. Even with all those built-in perks, Hov still promises to spoil his little girl as much as possible. "I imagine I'll take things I learned from my mom and things I've learned from raising my nephews and apply that," he said during his appearance on Oprah's Master Class scheduled to air tonight on OWN. “Then at the end of the day, I just know I'll probably have the worst, spoiled little kid ever.”

Beyonce gave birth to the couple's first child in January, prompting Jay to jump in the studio and record the track “Glory” which featured his infant daughter. After the song hit the ‘Net, a New York Daily News writer surreptitiously pegged Jay as the spokesperson for all black fathers, theorizing that his public adoration would encourage absentee fathers to start raising their children.
One thing that Jay will hopefully be able to protect his daughter from are the racist rants that have been thrown his way as of late. As previously reported, New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick came under fire for stating that the Brooklyn Nets should be renamed the “New York n**ers,” and even after the backlash, refused to recant his comments.
