The Daily Roundup for May 16




HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET!
Miss Janet at a Art Exhibit in NYC showing that new figure as she turns 46!  
Janet Jackson is like fine wine. She gets better with age.



She was spotted showing off her 45 year old, slimmer but still curvy while outside of the Keszier Gallery in New York City. She was there to attend the opening of the Marcho Glaviano ‘Supermodels’ exhibition in which she wore a black and gold top, black jeans and platform Christian Louboutin boots.

"Basketball Wife" Royce Reed Deletes Her Twitter & Facebook Pages...Kinda 

Royce and her dramatics. the " Basketball Wives" star got pissy with her followers and pulled a Nicki Minaj drama queen stunt and deleted her Twitter. But then she came back...of course. But has seemingly left again. And it sounds like she is pretty over the show, as we all are.

After the foolywangery that was her public breakup with her cheatin' ass boyfriend Dez Briscoe, and the epic fight with her daddy where he was reading her like a a prude mama and her Fifty Shades of Grey book, Royce has taken another dramatic twitter action.
Apparently she was over the "toxicity" of people, so last night the reality chick up and deleted her Twitter (and Facebook page) all together. And said this beforehand:
@Roycelr: Toxic people make for a toxic life... Remove them even if it's hard. U will feel better & be better in the end!
@Roycelr: Deleting my twitter in 3days!!! I appreciate all of u! Thk u for all ur love & support
@Roycelr: Actually deleting it now!!! :o) Bye Tweeps! xoxoxo
Meanhile, her ex Dez was busy tweeting Lil Boosie lyrics as the rapper had just gotten freed from jail (and the lyrics were a simultaneous swipe at Royce too we're sure--y'all know how youngins like to play games):
@DezBriscoe89 "Mama told me when I was yung that ima break hearts because I'm too cute for just one" Boosie
Anyways, hours later, Royce's page popped back up and she insinuated that the VH1 gods forced her hand in returning:
I'm am back. Not by choice. I'll be gone again after the reunion. #MovingAlong @VH1 #BBW #BasketballWives #RoyceReed #ThisShitIsCrazy!
Oddly enough, her page is back to M.I.A. today. And the reunion show is being filmed today as well.
Maybe it's about that time to leave the reality drama...and weekly boyfriends...and focus on your kiddie. Just maybe.

Snooki Shows Off 'Pregnant Problems' Paler Skin 

We are used to seeing as her one of the tannest members of society, but
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi posted a picture of herself on Twitter with less of her usual tan.
Due to her recent pregnancy, it looks like the Snooks has been staying away from the sprays and tanning beds as she posted a picture of herself tan free with a caption reading, "Whoa look at this non tan. #pregnantproblems.
The pint-sized reality starlet seems to be enjoying pregnancy as she has been keeping her 4 million-plus Twitter followers up to date with all of her latest activities. Just yesterday she wrote about the relaxing day her and her little one had together, tweeting, "Just had an amazing spa session for my pregnant self! "
As previously reported by GossipCenter, though the "Jersey Shore" meatball is expecting her first child with fiance, Jionni LaValle, MTV has confirmed that she will still take part in season six of the reality show which is set to start filming this summer.
Execs at the network don't seem to think pregnancy will cause an issue with ratings as they released this statement, "Being a baby mama doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun in the sun. While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same."

Jay Z and Beyonce Moving to London
Jay Z and Beyonce are packing up their little family and moving over seas...
From The Sun
Beyonce and Jay-Z are moving in to a posh townhouse in west London on the recommendation of their close pals. The pair decided to rent the five-bedroom gaff because they were tired of pouring money down the drain on posh hotels. A source said: "Both Jay-Z and Beyonce are going to be spending a lot of time in London over the next few months. "Jay is over here for his Watch The Throne Tour and Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Beyonce will be launching her perfume in Europe over the summer.


Get ready for The Houston Family Chronicles coming to a TV near you!
Lifetime has picked up The Houston Family Chronicles, a 10-episode docu-series to premiere later this year. It will follow the lives of Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and manager, who now manages her estate, Pat’s daughter Rayah, Whitney’s brother Gary, daughter Bobbi Kristina and mother, Grammy Award-winning singer Cissy Houston, as they try to pick up the pieces after the pop star’s untimely death.
The series will follow Pat and her husband, Gary as they try to support Whitney’s teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina. 


In that, Pat enlists the help of her and Whitney’s inner circle, including Grammy Award winner Dionne Warwick and Gospel legend CeCe Winans.
"The tragic loss of Whitney Houston left a void in the hearts of people all over the world, but certainly none more so than her beloved family," said Lifetime’s EVP Rob Sharenow."In this series, the multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love, and grow." 


Pat Houston said that over the past few years she had been developing an unscripted project about her and her family with producers and my homies Tracey Baker Simmons and Wanda Shelley.
"The unexpected passing of Whitney certainly affects the direction of the show," she said. "However, it is my hope that others will be enlightened as they watch our family heal and move forward." Jarrett Creative will produce the series, with Julie Insogna-Jarrett, Seth Jarrett, Tracey Baker Simmons, Wanda Shelley and Pat Houston serving as executive producers.
Whitney Houston’s family and especially Bobbi Kristina, have been a big ratings draw following the singer’s death. Oprah Whinfrey’s exclusive interview with them drew OWN’s largest audience ever. 

 
Rihanna Attends LA ‘Battleship’ Premiere
Ouh wee! Look at that split on that dress…
Rihanna was in good spirits as she stepped out on to the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie ‘Battleship’ in LA last night wearing a white halter gown designed by Adam Selman paired with white Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Earlier this week, she was rushed to 

the hospital following the MET Gala after-party and treated for exhaustion and dehydration. This was just days after she missed the SNL dress rehearsal after telling the producers she was sick. She tells Access Hollywood,
"I’m a lot better now…I had a couple days to rest and re-hydrate. I just had the flu and I kept working and I wasn’t getting better so I took a couple days off to sleep and I feel great."


While some of us may think that she’s partying to hard and it may be catching up to her, other’s put the blame on her management that has had her working non-stop. Whatever the case, she pulled it right together and was looking great at the premiere.



Dayum, Drake why you throwing shade at Rihanna?
Is Rihanna is having the worst moment ever.

First she was ripped by Saturday Night Live producers for skipping out on dress then she got cussed out by Anna Wintour for showing up late for MET Ball red carpet,then the love of her life Chris Brown dissed the shit out of her in a remix, followed by rapper Meek Millz saying she was ruining his life and now she's being dissed by Drake...
In a verse on 2 Chainz 'No Lie' Drake spits,
"All that look like what’s her name / Chances are, it’s whats her name / Chances are, if she was acting up / Then I fucked her once and never fucked again / She could have a Grammy, I still treat her ass like a nominee / Just need to know what that pussy like so one time it’s fine with me"
Here's the gag. Drake is featured on Rihanna's song "What's My Name", RiRi has won a Grammy, and Drake always cries about how Rihanna let him hit once and never hooked up with him again.
Listen:

Somebody go check on RiRi.

Family Member Tries to Extort Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder's nephew tried to extort him over incest claims...
From TMZ
A man claiming to be Stevie Wonder's nephew has been charged with attempting to extort the singer by threatening to go to the tabloids and say he's the product of an incestuous relationship between Stevie and Stevie's sister --- UNLESS the singer coughed up big bucks.
Alpha Lorenzo Walker was arrested May 2 after being trapped in a sting operation. Law enforcement sources tell us Walker initially demanded $5 million from Stevie but was shut down and eventually lowered his demand to $10,000.
Our sources say undercover cops met Walker, claiming to be Stevie's reps who had the cash, but demanded that he first sign a document which included a statement that his accusations were false. Walker signed, and he was promptly arrested. Our sources say the incest allegation is completely bogus.
Walker has been charged with felony extortion, along with his girlfriend. He has pled not guilty. Walker is currently in custody.


Lil Boosie has been ACQUITTED! 

Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie was acquitted of murder and as soon as he finishes his eight year prison sentence on unrelated drug charges he's coming home...
Torence "Lil Boosie" Hatch, who pleaded guilty to setting up a drug smuggling ring inside Angola prison while awaiting his murder trial [click here if you missed that] was found not guilty of hiring a hitman to kill his baby mama's brother.
The entire case hinged on testimony from alleged hitman Michael 'Marlo Mike' Louding who originally claimed Boosie ordered the hit, but testified in court that his taped confession [which was lost and not played during the trial] was coerced by police officers who threatened to harm his family.
From USA Today
Following the verdict, more than 100 people celebrated in a small park in front of the courthouse, laughing, slapping hands and dancing around. When Hatch's team of defense attorneys appeared, the crowd loudly chanted "Boosie, Boosie, Boosie." When the attorneys began to descend the court house's steps, some in the crowd shrieked and mobbed them, congratulating them on doing a good job.



Mariah Is back out in FULL FORCE! 

After a less than diva ensemble last week, Mariah Carey retuned to her premium best.Armed with husband Nick Cannon, the 42 year old posed it up the Project Arts art exhibition in New York. 


Needless to say, she looked ?????


Teyana Taylor Signs To Good Music Label!
Word on the street is that Teyana Taylor Signed To Good Music Label! While on the "Steph Lova Program" on DTFRadio.com from 9-11pm (shameless plug), personality Steph Lova was supposed to conduct a Teyana Taylor interview over the phone. However, that interview never happened because Kanye West called Teyana Taylor into the studio to do some work.
The HipHopGossipSite reported that if you knows anything about Kanye West, you know never disturb him while he’s working in the studio. That is a complete no no in Kanye’s world! Trust me! I’ve heard the stories about folks trying to interrupt him while he’s working and its never a good story. 

To apologize for Teyana Taylor’s absence, her publicist did give the "Steph Lova Program" some good news in that Teyana Taylor has officially signed to the "Good Music" label, but the press release with that statement won’t be released until probably Monday. WOW … TT keep up the great work


The Game TAKES The KIDDIES To Disneyland

The Game showed off his fatherly side with a trip to Disneyland with his
kids recently. See the pics inside as well as J. Lo with her twins at work and new family photos from Rihanna.
Even gangsta rappers like to have fun with their kids as shown by The Game taking his family to Disneyland. The kiddies looked happy on their way to the Magic Kingdom.

The Game checked King Justice, Harlem and Cali Dream out of school for the day to make the trip.
He tweeted,
"Today was the best day of the last 4," wrote Game. "I just woke up today & got the idea to go & check all 3 of my children out of school early & surprise them with a random trip to Disneyland…. They had a blast & so did Daddy. Days like this make up for all the bad days I’ve ever had. The love my kids & I share balance my life so perfectly…. It’s almost too good to be true sometimes. 

Sidenote: I figured you guys would appreciate Mickey Mouse & Goofy sharing some of the instagram love today… Especially due to the fact they’ve both played a huge part in all of our childhood experiences… #HateItOr…. Just LOVE it for christ’s sake !!!"


New Music: Azealia Banks – Jumanji
Real b-tch all day, uptown, Broadway
If it’s one thing we can all agree on; it’s that up and coming rapper Azealia Banks is a confident and cocky little 20 year old. But despite, who she may rub the wrong way with her silly twitter battles, there is no denying that she has the lyrical skills and flow to back up her bravado. Even if it doesn’t make a bit of sense. ‘Fananananana!’
Listen to Jumanji below 

Her latest track to hit the net,
post-Coachella hype is titled, ‘Jumanji’ in which she spits lyrics like, ‘This is that jamma jamma, go anthem banana getter, You got a question, I’ll answer
for llama mama I’m better’ and ‘That cutie, cutie, bam beauty, That juicy juicy who truly, pack tooly’s oozies in Gucci, you fruity tootie n bootie.’ But somehow or another, all of the gibberish sounds pretty hot over a beat produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook.
In other news, Azealia has already laced her first track with Missy Elliot. The two will be featured on the remix to M.I.A’s
‘Bad Girls‘ which will be released very soon and they are promising it will be a movie!


AND FINALLY FROM THE PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART FILES
Working Girls

BE WELL ALL!!!
