Beyoncé’s Big Announcement
Instead of satying home and raising that damn baby who isn’t even a year old yet. Beyoncé posted a mysterious and sort of cryptic message on her website this week claiming something big is coming in August. “Leave your footprint on 19 August 2012,” reads the message posted.
With not much else to go on, it might be assumed that Beyoncé will either make a major announcement on this date or maybe she will just release a song that no one expected. It was widely reported earlier this year, that Beyoncé was a working on new album — so this could be the mysterious announcement. Rather than further speculate it looks like we’ll just have to wait until August 19 to see what Beyoncé has to offer.

Halle Berry having lunch on set of her new Movie.
Instead of doing extra sit-ups in her trailer, or sipping on vegetable smoothies, Halle Berry has the right idea when it comes to set breaks.
The Monster's Ball actress headed straight to the catering department during a timeout on The Hive, clutching a sky blue ceramic plate.
The Oscar-winner - still in costume, complete with a fake LAPD laminate around her neck - ventured to the food server who helped pile her plate.
However, she wasn't afraid to sample some of the carbohydrates either and seemed to say yes to a portion of pasta.
The 45-year-old is currently shooting her latest project alongside rising star Abigail Breslin.
Good to see an actress eat: Halle didn't hold back in piling her plate with food
The film follows an emergency operator who must confront a killer from her past in order to save a young girl's life.
But it hasn't been plain sailing for the actress since filming started after she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital last week following a fall and hitting her head on the set.

In a statement to MailOnline, Halle's publicist said: 'Halle suffered a minor head injury while shooting a fight sequence on the set of her film.
She was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but she checked out.

Transgender ‘Sidney Starr’ Admits To Lying About Sleepy With Chingy
guess Sidney has had a change of heart because she recently dropped a new video where she admits that she lied on Chingy (and several other entertainers) all because she wanted to be accepted. She says that she now embraces what she is and hopes that other transgendered women will be more honest about themselves in the process.
check out the video: 
And Chingy chimes in too!
I’m not sure what brought about this change, but what I do know is that low album sales be damned, you shouldn’t just make up stuff about people. It definitely doesn’t allow for people to believe you in the future.
LAME BITCH! You should never do that to people.

Heartbreak for Ed Schultz as MSNBC host reveals wife's devastating cancer struggle
MSNBC host Ed Schultz has revealed in an emotional announcement on his radio show that his wife, Wendy, has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Speaking to his guest radio host Mike Papantonio on Thursday afternoon, Schultz said that he and his wife have been ‘through the wringer’ since receiving the devastating news last Wednesday.
‘It's been a real jolt to say the least,’ Schultz said. ‘It shakes you to your bones. But she's a tough girl, and she went through surgery yesterday. The doctors feel like they got all of it...but we've got a long way to go.’
Schultz has been absent from his radio and TV show for the past week, and he said that he is going to be away from the air for some time.
‘Doing a radio and a TV show isn't exactly what I'm thinking about right now,’ the 58-year-old talk show host said. ‘I'm going to be with my wife through all of this.'
He expressed his gratitude to his radio show team and everyone at MSNBC for their support.
‘You lose track of time, you lose track of what you're doing, and everything changes,’ Schultz said, choking up.
Michael Eric Dyson, who has been guest-hosting The Ed Show on MSNBC, repeated the devastating announcement.
Mr Schultz said Wendy is ‘deeply touched’ by messages of support that have been pouring in on Facebook and Twitter..
‘The prayer warriors across of America who have just gotten into this and gotten behind her and her family, we can't thank everybody enough,’ he said.
Schultz met Wendy, a psychiatric nurse, in the 1990s not long shortly after divorcing his first wife, newscaster Maureen Zimmerman.
The two got married in 1998 and have since had six children, while Wendy Schultz has worked as her husband’s production assistant.
Schultz, who began his career as a proclaimed conservative, has attributed his transformation into a noted champion of progressive causes to his wife.
In his 2010 book Killer Politics, Schultz wrote that his political viewpoints started changing after their first date, which took place at a homeless shelter in Fargo, North Dakota, where Wendy worked.
Schultz had initially criticized the homeless, but had a change of heart after meeting them face-to-face at the shelter. From there, he considered himself to be a ‘liberal,’ he wrote. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ed and his family!

Man who discovered Drake suing his management over royalties
A young Texas talent scout who discovered hip-hop star Drake is suing the entertainer's managers — charging they are cheating him out of his share of royalties.
James "Jas" Prince, the son of Rock-A-Lot Records CEO J. Prince, claims in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that Cortez Bryant, Gerald Roberson, Derrick Lawrence and their firms, including Aspire Music Group LLC, have refused to provide an accounting of what he is owed.
Prince's attorney, James McMillan, said his client hasn't received a nickel in more than a year even though Drake's albums have generated millions of dollars in sales. He is asking the court to appoint a receiver.

"We have no idea how much is owed because they are hiding behind one guy," McMillan said.
He said entertainment lawyer Ronald Sweeney represents both Drake's managers and the record company that pays the royalties.Those companies are controlled by rapper Lil Wayne and have sold 5 million copies of Drake's albums in recent years.
"It's one big shell game," McMillan said.
Court papers say that when Prince demanded an accounting, Drake's managers referred him to Sweeney, who promised to comply but never did.
When Prince asked Lil Wayne's companies directly for an accounting, they also referred him to Sweeney.Sweeney declined comment.
In his papers, Prince said Drake himself is being cheated by his managers and is "on the brink" of suing Aspire and Bryant, who also manages Lil Wayne and Kanye West. He attached an April 2012 letter from Drake's lawyer, Robert Meloni, to Aspire which terminates Drake’s exclusive contract with Aspire.
In that letter, Meloni says that Drake's royalty account got nothing though his worldwide sales "are in excess of five million units." He said Drake had received "inexcusably delayed, incomplete, confusing and misleading" statements listing what he was owed.

McMillan said that Drake, who gave Prince a Lamborghini for his birthday in October 2010, still has strong ties to his client. "Neither one of them has been paid," he said.

Nicki Minaj Fan Stomped on Stage
Excitement got the best of one of Nicki Minaj’s fans. At her Miami concert, one of her Barbz (or Ken, I can’t tell), hopped on stage while she was performing. Minaj’s security jumped to the rescue and immediately hopped on stage, dragging her (or him) off stage. The drama starts at the 0:15 mark and you’ll note yo getting roughed up a bit on the side of the stage briefly.
Check the footage.
Please. Whatever you do. DO NOT jump onstage and try to touch Nicki Minaj. Was all that necessary?

Rihanna's French Yachting Swimsuit Fabulousness
She's never one to shy away from a good time, and today Rihanna was spotted kicking back aboard a swanky yacht in Eze Sur Mer, France.
With a cold Corona beer in hand, the "Rude Boy" singer showed off her svelte frame in a plunging swimsuit that matched her punchy red pout. I swear this chic is an alcoholic..LOL!

Meanwhile, RiRi's ex, Chris Brown, is trying to squash rumors that the former lovers met up while they both stayed in Cannes over the past week.Brown's rep further rejected any speculation, explaining, "Karrueche is there with him. They never broke up. He is not on [Rihanna's] yacht. There is no Rihanna connection."

And For the 17,000 time Ladies & Gents Jennifer Holliday as “Effie White” in DREAMGIRLS!
Jennifer Holiday returns to DREAMGIRLS as the original “Effe”, at the MUNY in St Louis and brings along a friend. Seems Tyler Perry’s House of Payne Star “Demetria McKinney” to play the role of Deena. Surprised?!!!
DREAMGIRLS originally opened in 1981 at the Imperial Theatre. It was nominated for thirteen Tony Awards, and Best Musical. Ended up winning 6 times. Then it was turned into a motion picture when Beyonce Eddie Murphy and Anika Noni Rose took over from there. And it should have been LEFT THERE!

Rita Ora Dishes About Rihanna Comparisons in Complex Magazine
Roc Nation’s, Rita Ora, is in this month’s issue of Complex Magazine.
Although the songstress has been working overtime to make a name for herself, Rita has been accused of being a Rihanna knock off since first storming onto the music scene earlier this year. However, the 21-year-old takes the comparisons as a compliment.
I admire Rihanna, she works her ass off. She hasn’t had a break and she has given people hit after hit after hit. That work ethic and discipline is hardcore. That’s the kind of shit that I want to do. That I will do.
Rita didn’t just rip Rihanna’s style, but she must have taken her cockiness as well. She also admits that folks were surprised when photos surfaced of the two of them having a good time.




People were like, ‘What the fuck! Everyone thought that we hated each other, but the whole thing was created by the media. That’s what’s so funny. She said, ‘Let’s just tweet this and get people mad.’
Do you think Rita stands a chance of matching Rihanna’s success? Check out the rest of Rita’s Complex Magazine spread below and post your thoughts!
