Christina Milian & Baby Violet Get In Some Playtime In Miami and The Dream Apologizes
The utter cuteness that is Violet Nash made a beeline for the sand & sun as soon as mommy Christina Milian finished her swimsuit show work.
Flaunting her abs and petite curves, the singer and the social networker for "The Voice" hit Miami Beach yesterday afternoon in another sexy swimsuit. Since Cuban cutie Ms. Milian is in the southern beach city to debut her swimsuit line, Havana Nights, it's only right she rocks some hot ones in front of the paparazzi cams.
After Violet got her cover-up off with mom's help, the ladies took their pails and shovels to the sand to build sand castles! Oh to be a tiny tot with a mom who lives a life of luxury...
Looks like somebody wore herself out.

And Chris, of course, had to get in a pic for Instagram.
Christina finally showed off Havana Nights at The Raleigh during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, alongside designer Nicole Di Rocco :
Congrats Chris!
By the way, she also received an apology from her ex-husband and Violet's father, The Dream. After their very public battle about Dream's lack of fathering skills--and his attack on Christina for being a gold digger--Mr. Nash has since apologized and said it was a misunderstanding. And claims he was actually responding to a fan, not to Christina. His words via Twitter:
“I just figured out people are attaching twitter things to Someone yesterday. Actually I was answering a Fan openly like I always do but Excluded they’re Name. So I’m sincerely Sorry if anyone was offended. Christina is a Good Parent and a Great role model. Just got back on twitter since yesterday had I known I was being watched by the feds. I would’ve put more thought that people would attach Any problems I have I call and discuss them and I desire the same. Didn’t know I was even important enough to be discussed. Its Sad I think People Love Tension and I won’t be playing this Game esp when a innocent child is involved.
This is why i argue to keep my Childrens lives as private as I can. Because the only people who actually care and should care are the people who made you..its a Mean World Can’t control what Christina Does all I can say is I wish her well and pray that in time we will heal. Because this helps no one. Love Always. Again sorry for the misleading info…. Even though I never attached her name or uttered her name in a Demeaning way. The truth is… Is all things need Time.
I have no strife with Christina for I know this life is To Long someXs you fght those u love most I’m sure none of what I’ve written that actually has a Name attached will get noticed. lol
I apologize 4 the Misunderstanding I’m way to blessed for that.Fasting on Negativity nothing but positive quotes will come from here, as I see my Voice is pretty loud these days lol”
So there we have it.

THE JACKSONS VS THE ESTATE OF MICHAEL JACKSON!
Earlier this week news broke that Micheal Jackson's siblings, Randy, Jermaine, Janet, Tito and Rebbie were challenging Michael's will and demanding the executors of Michael Jackson's Estate step down immediately [click here if you missed that].
The estate strikes back with accusations of their own...

According to TMZ
Sources connected with the Estate are now lashing back, telling TMZ they believe Randy and Jermaine (they are not including the others) are strapped for cash and know when Katherine dies there is no way they can get their hands on a penny of MJ's fortune -- that's because all of the money goes to charity and in trust for Michael's 3 kids.
Our sources believe ... Randy and Jermaine are trying to make it appear that Katherine is infirm and may need a conservatorship. And the sources further believe Randy and Jermaine will try and get themselves appointed as her conservators, which would give them access to more than $70,000 a month.
We know Katherine's people have denied she had a stroke. As for the Estate failing miserably, it seems like bad timing, because new court docs just revealed the Estate has grossed nearly half a billion dollars, wiping out MJ's massive debt.

Rihanna Gets a Visit From Magic Johnson on Saint Tropez Yacht
Clearly enjoying her time in the sun, Rihanna was once again spotted on a beautiful yacht in the waters of Saint Tropez, France
The 24-year-old singer showed off her amazingly toned body in a tiny bikini as she welcomed basketball great Magic Johnson aboard the lovely boat after tweeting, “Drop that anchor!!! We locked and loaded!”
While the “Umbrella” star enjoys her tropical vacation, she’s been sharing multiple tweets. Reports are surfacing that it’s all to catch the attention of her ex, Chris Brown.
The rumors sparked after Rihanna started including a hashtag in all of her tweets that began with “#phuckyo.” To most, it may seem like just a bizarre thing a pop star might do for fun, but it may be related to Brown’s Instagram name, which is “f**kyophotos.”

The Feds Claim Swizz Beatz About Owner Ship Of Mega-UpLoad & Facing Jail Time
It looks like Mr. Beats is back in hot water when its comes to the feds. RhymesWithSnitch reports Swizz Beatz got caught up in the Mega Upload piracy case, because he was listed as the company owner. People aways know what your name is attached to.
Swizz was quick to deny ownership, but the Feds say that he’s lying… OH NO!!!!

MTV News reports:When file-sharing website Megaupload was shuttered for rampant piracy in January, the company’s presumed CEO Swizz Beatz appeared to be cleared of responsibility because his role was loose and unfinalized. Now, the federal government is claiming that Swizzy, real name Kasseem Dean, was in fact involved with the company and they are specifically using his involvement in an attempt to try the case in the United States.
Swizz was listed on the site as CEO when it was taken down and had been vocal about his role and support prior the bust. Afterwards, though, his lawyer claimed that his involvement was more of an endorsement and that Dean had no real role in running daily operations of the service.

That appears untrue. According to U.S. attorney Neil MacBridge, Swizz represented Megaupload in front of the United States Trade Representative in December 2011, which indicates he was officially involved and gives the opportunity for the federal government to try a case against the maligned site within the country.

Frank Ocean’s First Interview : Explains Why He Came Out, Being Labeled ‘Fearless’ + Having Pimps In His Family
A few weeks ago, Frank Ocean shocked his fans, some of the hip-hop world and the public by announcing that sexually he was attracted to men. It’s debatable on if he’s bi-sexual or gay (I think that most of us could care less, but maybe I’m wrong), as he didn’t label himself, but much of the public found his declaration courageous. A number of celebrities (Beyonce included) vocally spoke out and supported him. Since then, Ocean has released his new album (channel ORANGE) and has remained mum about his sexual orientation (outside of a tweet here or there). And over the weekend, the Guardian shared Ocean’s first public interview, since his announcement, where he chats about what motivated him to open up.

Peep a few excerpts below:
On the mysterious persona that he gives off:
“It’s not formulaic…It’s not me necessarily trying to preserve mystique. It’s who I am. It’s how I prefer to move. I really don’t think that deeply about it at all, I swear I don’t. I’m just existing.”

On being labeled ‘risky’ or fearless:
“I won’t touch on risky, because that’s subjective…People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don’t necessarily merit fear. Me putting Nostalgia out … what’s physically going to happen? Me saying what I said on my Tumblr last week? Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I’m black. They could do the same just because I’m American. Do you just not go outside your house? Do you not drive your car because of the statistics? How else are you limiting your life for fear?”

On if he considers himself courageous for ‘coming out of the closet’, per say:
“I don’t know…A lot of people have said that since that news came out. I suppose a percentage of that act was because of altruism; because I was thinking of how I wished at 13 or 14 there was somebody I looked up to who would have said something like that, who would have been transparent in that way. But there’s another side of it that’s just about my own sanity and my ability to feel like I’m living a life where I’m not just successful on paper, but sure that I’m happy when I wake up in the morning, and not with this freakin’ boulder on my chest.”

On what motivated him to open to the world about his sexuality:
“I knew that I was writing in a way that people would ask questions…I knew that my star was rising, and I knew that if I waited I would always have somebody that I respected be able to encourage me to wait longer, to not say it till who knows when….It was important for me to know that when I go out on the road and I do these things, that I’m looking at people who are applauding because of an appreciation for me…I don’t have many secrets, so if you know that, and you’re still applauding … it may be some sort of sick validation but it was important to me. When I heard people talking about certain, you know, ‘pronouns’ in the writing of the record, I just wanted to – like I said on the post – offer some clarity; clarify, before the fire got too wild and the conversation became too unfocused and murky.”

On why he decided against changing some of the pronouns (from ‘he’ to ‘she’) in some of his lyrics:
“When you write a song like Forrest Gump, the subject can’t be androgynous. It requires an unnecessary amount of effort. I don’t fear anybody … … at all. So, to answer your question, yes, I could have easily changed the words. But for what? I just feel like it’s just another time now. I have no interest in contributing to that, especially with my art. It’s the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.”

On how parts of his upbringing and family, influence some of the subjects of his current album:
“I mean, ‘experience’ is an interesting word. I just bear witness. For a song like Crack Rock, my grandfather, who had struggled to be a father for my mum and my uncle … his second chance at fatherhood was me. In his early-20s, he had a host of problems with addiction and substance abuse. When I knew him, he was a mentor for the NA and the AA groups. I used to go to the meetings and hear these stories from the addicts – heroin and crack and alcohol. So stories like that influence a song like that…I have actual pimps in my family in LA…It was fantasy built off that dynamic … but you can only write what you know to a point.”


Gymnast Gabby Douglas Nabs Sports Illustrated Cover With TEAM USA!
The Olympic gymnast ladies have taken over the Sports Illustrated Olympic Preview issue. It's the first time in SI history that an entire US gymnastics team has made the cover. And Gabby Douglas is stepping into the spotlight.
The Women's Gymnastics Team is getting the shine these days. And with YBF chick Gabby Douglas front and center in the limelight, we're loving it.

16-year-old Gabby moved from VA to Iowa to train with Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson's coach, Liang Chow (she also trained at the famed Karolyi Ranch). She was also featured on an NBC special Thursday night about her journey from nearly giving up on her sport to winning the Olympic Trials on July 1.

Cee Lo Postpones Vegas Residency
Back in March Cee Lo Green announced he would be performing in residence at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas starting in August
Not long after Cee Lo began hinting around that he was getting sick of judging contestants on The Voice, seemingly setting up his exit [click here if you missed that].
Looks like The Voice won out...

In a message to fans Cee Lo writes,
"It's always been a dream of mine to be among the great music legends who have had a Las Vegas residency and I was very much looking forward to launching 'Loberace' this year. But as we move into the third season of 'The Voice,' with my dedicated commitment to the filming schedule and love for my role on the show, I will need to postpone the opening of 'Loberace' to early 2013."
"Most importantly, to all my fans who have already purchased tickets, please accept my sincerest apology and I hope you can still join me in Vegas next year, so I can properly and finally introduce you to my brainchild."

Heavy D Took On William Shakespeare In Final Movie Role ‘H4′
Earlier this year we lost one of Hip Hops pioneers but threw the magic of film we get to see him doing his thing one more time. Sources reports the last film shot by late rapper Heavy D is set to be released in 2013, reports Sister 2 Sister magazine.
The rapper, born Dwight Arrington Myers, plays Archbishop Scroop in “H4,”a modern take on William Shakespeare’s Henry IV.
His co-star Terrell Tilford told Sister 2 Sister that Heav had some reservations about taking the role because of the film’s language. He recalls telling Heavy D, “The language is really the same. We all speak in a particular rhythm. Just trust it.”
The late entertainer agreed to tackle the task and with help from Tilford and fellow cast member Harry Lennix, he was able to pull off the role.
Tilford says, “We just hammered it out, worked through it, and the brother turned in a beautiful performance.”


“H4” is expected to be released in the spring.
The Jamaican born artist put his hometown of Mt. Vernon on the map musically but tinsel town loved him just the same.
One of his first small screen appearances was on an episode of “A Different World” as himself and as Fatz Turner on the TV series “Booker.”
His most recent role on the big screen was in the Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller comedy Tower Heist.


Take a look back on the acting career of Dwight “Heavy D” Myers. Rest In Peace. Back In 1990 the rapper was on ”Booker” as Fatz Turner. Then in 1993 he was on one of my favorite show ”Roc” as Calvin Frazier. 1995 Heavy hit up was featured on New Jersey Drive as Bo-Kane.
But the role most of us will remember him on is 1994-1996 season of “Living Single,” as Darryl…
