Tyra Banks wears fitted mini dress to America's Next Top Model premiere
She's not only the host and judge of the runway show, but an inspiration to the aspiring catwalkers.
Tonight, former Victoria's Secret Angel Tyra Banks showed her fierce skills, while 'smize-ing' (smiling with your eyes) like a pro at the premiere of America's Next Top Model: College Edition, Cycle 19.
Wearing a black Roberto Cavalli dress and stiletto heels, Tyra smiled both with her mouth and her eyes and worked her signature pose on the red carpet at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York City.
 Smize like you mean it: Tyra Banks attends the premiere of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 19
'Cycle 19 of America's Next Top Model is beyond new,' Banks recently told Entertainment Tonight. 
'We have new judges and we have another new judge, our fourth judge is the home audience. So many people complained to me... so we finally listened to the audience and we're letting them vote.'
Tyra parted ways with panelists Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander at the end of cycle 18.
On The CW this Friday, she will be joined instead by fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone, supermodel Rob Evans and celebrity stylist Jonny Wujek to critique a new batch of college-aged wannabes.
 The mod squad: Kelly Cutrone, Bryanboy, Tyra Banks, Rob Evans and Johnny Wujek
Although the home audience only has one-fourth of the say in eliminations, Banks says that the public will have a significant influence.
'We're taking video messages from the fans, and the ones that stand out and are interesting, we actually play in the judging room,' she said.
'It's really bringing that audience into that judging room... Sometimes, the girls actually cry not because what one of the judges said but because what one of the audience members said.'
Banks added that bringing the general public into the judging room provides a more realistic situation for the models, as they are faced with their most important critics.
'The audience is voting on her pictures and her professional side of modeling. It's actually what the audience would see in real life with models,' Banks asserted.
'Sometimes you might find out that that model in real life that you love is not such a nice person, but you didn't necessarily know when you were looking at her pictures.'
'Top Model voting is similar to real modeling in the real world.'
Cycle 19 will also feature a guest appearances from Tyler Perry and Alicia Keys.

OMG: Girl, 15, 'gang-raped in Carnival cruise ship cabin by several teens and man, 31, who was on vacation with his wife'
A 31-year-old married man has been charged after a teenage girl was allegedly gang-raped by him and a group of teenage boys in a cabin of a Carnival cruise ship.
Casey Dickerson was arrested on Sunday after the sexual attack was reported last weekend. 
He denies rape but admitted that he had bought alcohol for a group of teenagers on board the cruise which left Florida on August 16 for a four-day trip to the Bahamas.  
Dickerson also admitted to having sex with other women who were not his wife on board the boat.
The girl, who has not been identified, said she was raped in an extra cabin that Dickerson had keys to on board. 
He had been given access to a second room by crew after his wife had earlier complained about noise. 
The 15-year-old girl told authorities that she went to the cabin with a 15-year-old friend where Dickerson was partying with four teenage boys.
The girl said they were given alcohol before her friend was held in the bathroom by one of the teenagers while she was raped.
She said that the accused and other attackers took turns holding her down and encouraged each other to 'switch' positions, according to the Orlando Sentinel. 
At one point during the prolonged attack, someone came to the door of the cabin. She was held on the floor while one of the teenage boys sent the person away, according to reports. 
The girl was dressed and finally allowed to leave the room. She was treated for her injuries at the on board medical center where a rape kit was done. Carnival alerted the FBI to the incident. 
It was unclear as to who the 15-year-old girl was traveling with on the cruise liner. 
The boys claimed to FBI investigators that Dickerson told them to have sex with the girl. No charges have been brought against them so far and they have not been named. 
Dickerson, from Casselberry, Florida, told WFTV that it was supposed to be a fun vacation for him and his wife, adding: 'The cruise was great itself.'
He claims to have been drunk, passed out and was unaware that anything sexual took place in the cabin. 
During the interview, when asked if he had raped the girl, he refused to answer any further questions.
He is being held on federal charges of sexual assault at Orange County Jail without bail after a judge deemed him a danger to the community. There is no federal law for statutory rape at sea. 
It is the decision of the Attorney-General if sexual assault charges are to be filed against juveniles. The agency is investigating the case, a spokesman said. 
A statement from Carnival Cruise Lines reads: 'Carnival is fully cooperating with law enforcement officials as the investigation continues.'

There have been previous reports of sexual assaults on board Carnival cruise ships.
Last November, a Carnival Cruise Lines employee was accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl who was on holiday with her family.
Kert Clyde Jordan, 35, from Grenada, worked as a waiter on the Miami-based Carnival Liberty. He was charged with engaging in a sexual act with a person under the age of 16.
He was accused of coaxing the girl into a bathroom on the Lido deck, part of the boat's upper level. 
The girl told her parents about the attack after they had returned home from vacation, police said. 
At the time, the cruise company said: ‘Carnival has a zero tolerance policy from crime and we take any allegations of crime extremely seriously.'
 Lock down: A judge recommended that Dickerson be kept at Orange County Jail in the interest of public safety
Only ten days prior to this incident on November 4, an Alabama man was sentenced to ten years in prison for raping a 13-year-old girl on-board a Carnival cruise in Mexico.
According to court records, Dylan Cole Bloodsworth, 19, met the girl when she was on a holiday cruise with her family in March 2011.
Bloodsworth talked her into accompanying him to get a jacket from his cabin and raped her, according to 
The Carnival Sensation operates three- and four-day cruises from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas. It has 2,056 passenger capacity and 920 staff. The cruise liner is catered to families with pools, water slides and several kids' clubs.  
Carnival Cruise  Lines is based in Miami, and has 23 ships which sail to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, and Bermuda.


"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Sequel Delayed Past 2013
Disappointing fans of the literary and big screen success "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the planned sequel will not arrive in theaters until after 2013. 
Screenwriter Steve Zaillian is still working on the script, halting further progress. No director has been attached to the project, but David Fincher, who directed the first film remains the first choice. 
A source tells Entertainment Weekly that the movie is still moving forward, although there is no rush and no release date. 
However, way back in November, Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chair Amy Pascal announced that both Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig were locked in for the sequel.

Real HouseWives of Atlanta NeNe Leakes is a Grandmother 
Did you ever think of NeNe as a grandma? Well apparently she didn’t either until she was surprised by her sons 21 year old girlfriend who was already six months pregnant.
Proud grandmother NeNe Leakes exclusively reveals her 2-month-old granddaughter Bri’asia (who she’s kept under wraps until now) in an interview with InTouch  Weekly!

NeNe tells the new issue of In Touch — on newsstands now — about her shock when she discovered that her 22-year-old son, Bryson, was secretly expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Ashley Hill, 21.
 “I only found out about everything because I ran into Ashley when she was more than six months along,” the Real Housewives of Atlanta star tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. “I said, ‘You look pregnant.’ And she said, ‘Hasn’t Bryson told you?’ But he hadn’t because he knew that I wouldn’t approve of him having a child so young.”
“I didn’t feel like he was ready for such a big responsibility,” she says. “I was his age when I had him, so I know how tough it is. I didn’t want him to make the same mistakes that I did. I needed to let it sink in.”
However, once little Bri’asia Bryant was born in mid-June, no-nonsense NeNe melted.
“I always wanted to have a girl,” she says, “and now I have one! She’s just adorable.”
“I paid for everything in the nursery: the clothing, the diapers. I don’t want her to feel strapped,” she says — she’s gone completely “crazy” buying gifts for the baby, including “little dresses, sparkly headbands, and Gucci shoes … We just love her,” NeNe gushes to In Touch.
And while at first she was reserved about being called “Grandma,” the 44-year-old outspoken star now embraces the name! “Forty is the new 30. I’m a sassy, fashion-forward grandma!”


Get Ready For Season 3 Of "Single Ladies" 
"Single Ladies," the Queen Latifah-produced scripted series, has had a successful run during its second season and now VH1 wants them back in 2013.  It's not our cup-o-tea, but apparently, folks love it.  With episodes averaging around 3.2 million viewers during premieres plus first encores, the show is basic cable’s scripted show amongst women 18-49.
And the show's stars, LisaRaye McCoy (Keisha), Denise Vasi (Raquel) and Charity Shea (April) had some help drawing in viewers as folks like Paula Patton, La La Anthony, William Levy, T.I., Romeo, Lauren London, Michelle Van Der Water, Omar Gooding, Pilar Sanders, Rick Fox, Ricky Whittle, Tank and Tony Rock all made appearances.
Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President of Original Programming & Production, VH1, spoke about the renewal saying,

“Our viewers’ love affair with ‘Single Ladies’ got even bigger this year, growing significantly from its successful first season and dominating its time slot on basic cable. We’re extremely happy that we’ll be able to give the audience another great season of the series and its honest, current take on love, dating and female friendship.”
Congrats to the cast!  And check out the Season Two finale TONIGHT at 9PM ET/PT on VH1.  Season 3 kicks off in 2013.

Trey Songz Set To Debut At #1 With Disappointing Sales
It’s Bittersweet.
Indeed, that’s what R&B crooner Trey Songz will be feeling about the performance of his latest effort ‘Chapter V’.
For, according to early estimates, the ‘Heart Attack’ led set is on course to top the Billboard 200 with less than stellar sales.
According to Hits Daily Double, ‘V’ is set to sell within the ballpark of 125k-130k, almost certainly earning the self-tagged Trigga his first number one album on the US tally.

Yet, in doing so, the 27 year old’s Platinum ambitions remain just that…ambitions. At the peak of his buzz, 2010′s ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’ opened with almost double that figure (240k) and despite being boosted by endorsement deals, a slew of tours, and hit singles, has sold little over 800k two years later. Not “bad”, yet afact which renders the initial sales of ‘V’ somewhat worrying given that all that defined Songz’s “buzz” has calmed considerably.

Still, credit where it’s due; the current climate is a messy one for most artists – especially those of the Urban persuasion. Hence Trey’s charting arguably could be hailed as a “victory” of sorts for R&B. Although, for us, he has other albums far more deserving of the #1 treatment – namely his first three. The rest he can keep, especially this one. Five tracks too long and monotonous subject matter. No bueno.

Your thoughts?

Young Jeezy Sued for $5 Million From Former Business Manager  
Not-so-good-news for Young Jeezy (real name Jay Wayne Jenkins). The 34-year-old rapper is being sued by his former business manager, Demetrius “Kinky B” Ellerbee, for $5 million. Kinky B Demetrius (I feel weird calling a grown man ‘Kinky’) co-founded Corporate Thugz Entertainment (CTE) and allegs that Jeezy failed to share the profits the label has generated. According to Soul Culture:

Jeezy and Ellerbee started CTE after their initial business venture, another label called Young Gunz Entertainment, failed to be successful. After toiling on the mixtape circuit with CTE, the label signed a production deal with Def Jam around early 2005 under which all four of Jeezy’s solo albums were released. Ellerbee is listed as executive producer on the four albums. As Jeezy’s relationship with Def Jam grew, according to Ellerbee’s attorney Mario Breedlove, Ellerbee became less influential in the company’s dealings despite still considering himself an equal partner. Ellerbee says he was integral in both forming CTE and landing the deal, and should be fairly compensated for his role.

Demetrius has filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court, claiming that he is owed at least $5 million. He also says that the figure will rise much higher after royalties and advances are figured. He is also seeking interest, punitive damages and legal costs.


And the new host of Live with Kelly is?????????????? Michael Strahan!
Michael Strahan, who played his entire career with the New York Giants, will take the seat next to Ripa on Sept. 4.
Regis who retired in November 2011, Strahan will be the next permanent co-host of Live! With Kelly, it’s being reported.
Representatives for “Live!” and Strahan both declined to comment on the report.  Right now Strahan is currently one of the hosts of the popular football pregame program “Fox NFL  Sunday,” which tapes in Los Angeles, and is expected to retain the role, meaning lots of Sunday-night flights back to New York, where “Live!” originates.


Shyne Calls Diddy A Snitch and a B*tch, Says Diddy Owes Him His Life 
Ten years does something to a man. Just ask Shyne (real name Moses Michael Levi). As some of you know, in 2001, Shyne was convicted for a New York club shooting, where he was ultimately charged with attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, were also present. Shyne was incarcerated in 2001, spending nine years in prison. In 2009, he was released, ultimately being deportated to Belize. And according to Shyne, Diddy has not done right by him. Wednesday evening, he took to twitter, calling Diddy everything but a child of God. He wrote:














And what was Diddy’s response? Radio silence. Diddy nor his camp have responded to Shyne’s allegations. What do you think about Shyne’s twitter vent–valid or not?

I feel bad putting my dogs on a leash, I’d lose it seeing your punk bitch on one.
