The Daily Buzz For Jan 17



Rihanna’s HOT Complex Spread!
Is there anyone else besides Rihanna, Nicki, and Beyonce doing things this year?
Rihanna has done another FAB photo spread this time for Complex Magazine. 

Excerpts from the photshoot
On taking the best self-snapshot
“Get a good light.  Get a good angle on what’s working for you that day.  If it’s boobs, make sure you hit that. If it’s face, make sure it’s fierce.”

On loving to take her self pics
“It’s narcissistic, but whatever—everyone does it. I’m capturing personality... Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.”
On having 0 f*cks to give

“When I was making this record I had no intention except the truth.  So whatever is there is real. It’s raw. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic.”

“I held back before. I didn’t show a lot of myself. I was very guarded,” she says. “I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, ‘Fuck it.’ What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.”

On her relationship with Chris Brown
“People take the little bit of information they’re fed, and they draw a picture of who you are,” she says. “Most of the time it’s wrong.”

On she and Chris talking slick about their relationship
"We don’t start the trouble, but that’s how we’re defending ourselves—by saying some slick sh*t
Take a look at the pics.

HOT!




WE BID FAREWELL TO CONRAID BAIN!
Diff’rent Strokes star Conrad Bain has died just weeks shy of his 90th birthday.
He passed away in Livermore, California on Monday night.
The actor is best known for playing beloved businessman Phillip Drummond, the adopted father of Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges‘ young characters on the hit U.S. TV sitcom.
His cause of death remains unknown, but Bain’s daughter, Jennifer, tells TMZ.com, “He was an amazing person. He was a lot like Mr. Drummond, but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father.”
Bain would have celebrated his next age milestone on 4 February.


Philadelphia Eagles Hire Chip Kelly
Oregon coach Chip Kelly will be the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, league sources told ESPN.
Kelly re-emerged as a candidate recently and an agreement was just reached Wednesday.
The Eagles had interviewed Kelly early in its search for a replacement for longtime coach Andy Reid, talking to the coach in Arizona after the Ducks‘ 35-17 Fiesta Bowl victory over Kansas State.
But sources had told ESPN after the meeting that Kelly had decided to stay at Oregon. The school never made an official announcement regarding Kelly’s employment with the team, however.
Kelly is 46-7 in four years as head coach at Oregon. The Ducks have been to four straight BCS bowl games — including a bid for the national championship against Auburn two seasons ago — and have won three Pac-12 championships.
He originally came to the Ducks in 2007 as offensive coordinator under Mike Bellotti. Before that, he was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, where he started devising the innovative hurry-up offense the Ducks are known for today.
Oregon finished last season 12-1. The team was ranked No. 1 and appeared headed for another shot at the national championship until a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford on Nov. 17.


Meet Mimi Faust’s New Man
Looks like Mimi is finally moving up and moving on. Stevie J has broken Mimi’s heart time and time again, and hopefully her new boyfriend; Nikko will help put it back together.
Nikko is no-newcomer to the music industry, the Brooklyn born artist/producer, has worked with Grammy Award winner Timbaland, Tamia, Case,Katharine Mcfee, Trackmasters, Paula Deanda, Mickey Avalon, Testdrive, Danja Handz and several international artist. I did my research on this guy and his ability to relate and move people with his music is amazing. Nikko has been blessed by the most high with the gift of writing, arranging, composing and teaching music. He is a mastermind; his catalog genre includes pop, dance, hip hop and soulful R&B. His style, his soulful voice and his music is so alluring, I see how he won Mimi over…

his body and good looks I am sure played a part. We hear his debut album is in the works, he will be working with new fresh talent, producer Mark Angelo and some other heavy hitters. So stay tuned we hear Nikko is the one to watch for in 2013….Man I  bet Stevie J  is pissed, Mimi got her “Grove” back.
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is going to be crazy…. I hope Mimi can focus on her new artist and his music, best revenge is winning….


Shyne Urges President Obama To “Do Something” About Gun Violence In Chicago
Shyne is a vocal critic of President Obama and judging by his Twitter page, he has no plans of backing down. Earlier today, the Belizean rapper tweeted the commander in chief demanding that he help to stop the violence in Chicago.
With a home and headquarters in the Midwest city, the president calls Chicago home, but hasn't put as much emphasis on the gun violence that pushed its homicide number above 500, last year. “#Yes u can! @barackobama u can do something tho curb the violence in the inner cities across America, especially your hood in Chicago,” Shyne wrote.
He also threatened to mimic Kanye West's “George Bush doesn't care about Black people,” outburst after Hurricane Katrina. “If @barackobama doesn't do something about the genocide in Chicago fast I'm gonna have an @kanyewest melt down &say Barack Don't care about?”
In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting massacre, noted as the “worst day” of his presidency, Obama has called on the help of Vice President Joe Biden to come up with a plan to halt excessive gun violence.

Less than a full month into the year, the homicide rate in Chicago is moving full steam ahead.  In the first two weeks of 2013, 18 people have been killed, putting the city in line to clock roughly 700 homicides for the year.



IT'S A GIRL For T.J. Holmes & Wife Marilee!
Political talking head T.J. Holmes has a bouncing new baby girl to add to his list of big changes.

His lawyer wife Marilee delivered Sabine Holmes Saturday in Atlanta, and the newborn weighs in at 7 lbs 8 oz and measures 20 3/8" in length.
We're told mom and baby are doing well and are perfectly healthy.
T.J. will likely remain in Atlanta with his family until work starts back up for him.  As for when his BET show "Don't Sleep" will return with the new weekly 1-hour shows the network discussed, a date has yet to be confirmed.

But we do know folks loved T.J. making his surprise guest hosting debut on MSNBC a few weeks ago as he filled in for Alex Witt's Saturday morning show.  Could Mr. Holmes be getting a permanent daytime gig to accompany his weekly late night show?  Time will tell...

Congrats to the couple!


Nelly Brought Rumored New Girlfriend Tae Heckard To His 'Black & White Ball'...
Looks like the dating rumors are true about rapper Nelly and video vixen turned actress Tae Heckard. 
Tae (real name Lashontae) Heckard is Nelly's newest arm piece.  The rumors of the 39-year-old rapper splitting from Ashanti, his girlfriend of 10 years, are ringing more and more true everyday.
Reports surfaced a few days ago that Nelly and Tae were together at his annual Black & White ball in St. Louis last month.  And now, here are the pics.   Back in December, she posed it up (above) in a white gown with Nelly's nephew (an up and coming rapper) Tab.

And Tae's even won over Nelly's 18-year-old daughter Chanel:
They snapped pics at the event with Chanel saying on her Instagram, "She loves me."  Sounds more serious than just a jump off situation...
Chanel, pictured above with her dad at the Ball, has tweeted a few times about her realationship with Tae.  And it looks like the ladies get along just fine.

And my has she grown up.  Chanel posed it up with her mom before hitting up the Ball's red carpet later that night.
Nephew Tab, who is the son of Nelly's late sister Jackie, posted another pic with Tae recently saying how much he adores her.
And our source close to Nelly tells us that Tae has been spending plenty of time in the Lou the last few months, hanging with the rapper's family.  And confirms they are indeed dating.
WOW….Where Ashanti?


Apple Shares Plunge
Apple’s shares sagged to their lowest level in nearly a year on Monday amid worries demand for the iPhone 5 is lackluster.

The selloff was sparked after Japanese daily Nikkei reported that Apple had cut orders for LCD screens roughly in half from its original plan.
Concerns that Apple’s star may be fading a bit amid ramped-up competition from rivals like Samsung have helped Apple’s shares lose about a quarter of their value since they hit a record high this fall. Its shares were down 3% in midday trading, at $503.80, after briefly dipping below the $500 mark.

“We’re getting close to saturation” in developed markets where the iPhone holds the most sway, Atlantic Equities Service analyst James Cordwell told Bloomberg News.
Apple has been losing market share in the red-hot $200 billion smartphone market as some customers, especially in emerging markets, opt for less expensive gadgets that use Google’s Android operating system.
“The iPhone is no longer unique, fashion fatigue will transpire, and the rich price premium will be impossible to sustain,” London-based ABG Sundal Collier analyst Per Lindberg wrote in a research report.

Samsung, which has shot past Apple in the smartphone market, said on Monday that global sales of its flagship Galaxy S smartphones had topped 100 million.
Samsung is expected to widen its lead over Apple this year as its smartphone sales rocket 35% higher, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.
That has prompted some analysts and Apple-watchers to speculate that Apple might be on the verge of rolling out a smaller, cheaper iPhone to fight back.


Common SMOOCHING with Video Director Nzinga Stewart?
Common is smitten y’all! Or either tipsy. Over the weekend, the 40-year-old rapper-turned-director, was in Atlanta promoting his new film, LUV. All night long, literally, Common stayed next to a woman by the name of Nzinga Stewart.
Reportedly, this is Common’s new love interest (remember a month or so ago, Serena Williams took a few alleged twitter shots at the couple?). Anywho, the two have worked together for some time, as she’s a video director and allegedly has directed some of his videos. Their body language says, pleasure, but perhaps it’s just business?


The Notorious B.I.G.'s Teenaged Daughter Gets A Lip Tattoo
T'yanna Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G.'s first born and daughter, got a new lip tattoo honoring her father. Whether the late, great rapper would appreciate her homage is up for debate, though.
The now 19 year-old Wallace shared the new ink, the letters "B.I.G." tattooed across her inner bottom lip on Instagram, of course, with the caption "Business instead of games!"  Her account is private, but that's never been known to stop the Internets. News of the ink spread and even Worldstar picked it up.

Which she commented on via Twitter.
"LMAO NAH WORLDSTAR TOO! NOW YA"LL ODING LIKE YALL NEVER SEEN A LIP TAT," she tweeted, figuring all the attention was overblown.
Back in August she showed off her first tat in honor of Big Poppa. "But B.I.G. did it the best," was the caption she added to the photo of a tattoo of Biggie Smalls on the back of her shoulder wearing his trademark Kangol and sunglasses along with a set of angel's wings on his back.
The teenager was recently featured in the March 2012 issue of XXL magazine dedicated to her father.
We'll never know what the Notorious B.I.G. would say about his seeds recent nod to his life. But so long as she handles her business in school (she attends Penn State) and stays off the stripper pole, we ain't mad at how she chose pay homage to her dad. What do you think?

Katt Williams Sued After Allegedly Failing To Pay For 10 Year Old Ford Expedition
Comedian Katt Williams has another bizarre story. According to TMZ, a Los Angeles man named Khosrow Gharib sold Williams a used 2002 Ford Expedition SUV on Oct. 30, and Williams has refused to pay for it.
Mr. Gharib claims Williams got the wheels, but never paid and now owes him $7,500, which he says is the Kelley Blue Book value of the car. Gharib says he has tried to get Williams to pay up, but so far … no luck.

What the heck was Katt waiting on, his income taxes…pay the dude!!


Rich Dollaz's Baby Mama says stop lying and take the Paternity Test
For nearly a year,bloggers have been following the troubled "relationship" of model Chaundrea Nicole and reality star Rich Dollaz whom are embroiled in an ongoing paternity battle that's been AT LEAST 12-years in the making.
A little back story, we spoke exclusively to Rich Dollaz, a while ago, about Chaundrea claiming that he fathered her child and is a deadbeat dad who won't take a paternity test.  Well...he said that Chaundrea was lying and he was willing to take a paternity test.

That "statement" set Chaundrea off and she denied being his "jumpoff" and Rich pretty much blew her off and said he wasn't taking any DNA test. 
So that forced Chaundrea's hand and she had to take judicial and family matters into her own hands because she felt the courts in Memphis were dragging their feet.  According to Chaundrea,

"He had been avoiding court dates since August (see the attached document). I had to pay for my own court date because I had been waiting for years and it seemed like waiting on the “system” I would be continuing to wait. They rescheduled again and again he didn’t show and that’s when the warrant was put out on him.
I’m not sure why he would tell you that I am “fabricating” anything when he clearly is a HUGE liar in every aspect!

So fast forward to a few days ago....we told you Rich had been jailed and said things we're straightened out.  However, we've heard otherwise.   According to Chaundrea,

"I just wanted to let you know once again that he has LIED! It’s not “straightened out” he should either have had to take the DNA test while in jail (which I don’t think he did) or they gave him a court date, either way I’m not going to play with him at this point about my daughter because this effects her."

But she didn't stop there.  She also issued a VERY interesting threat for Rich
“If you keep on, you’re going to be in more trouble than just taking a DNA and child support. I know what you been doing and how you actually came to Memphis illegally and I know what else you did so if you keep on defaming my character, not only will I will be hitting you for child support I will be suing you as well, not to mention the felonies that you have committed!”

Felonies?  Illegal activity? Ummm.....does Mona-Scott Young know that Rich's real storyline isn't about Olivia's record deal OR dating Erica Mena?  Please get that UPDATE ready for the "LAHH 3" reunion!

Lastly, besides finally proving paternity, Chaundrea tells us she is on a mission to make a point to her daughter about chicks like Erica who lay up with men who don't handle their responsibilities.  She told us,

"I don’t want her to think that it’s ok to be like people like Erica because it’s not ok to be whorish to come up and get attention (like she did when she posted that OLD pic like he is with her when his ass was here in a club). I know I will be judged all types of ways but at this point I don’t care, I know what I am doing and I know who I am."

So...who's fabricating?

We'll keep you posted....



Russell Westbrook's Sick Air Jordan III
Sneaker aficionados have been talking about is the ill Air Jordan III PEs that Russell Westbrook wore the last OKC game
The "cement" hits were still present in Westbrook's predominantly black kicks as well as hits of blue and orange to in line with the Thunder's team colors. The Jumpman logo on the heel of the shoe is yellow. No word yet on if Westbrook's kicks will ever hit retail. Best believe they will inevitably hit the EBay market.
Westbrook officially joined Jordan Brand in back in October, shortly after Dwyane Wade left the brand at the end of his contract and moved on to Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning. Like Wade, Westbrook will also sport Michael Jordan's signature kicks on the court; the most recent release being the Tinker Hatfield designed Air Jordan XX8.
Always showing nice taste in his on court shoes, Westbrook probably will have even more PE (player edition) heat to flex with retro Air Jordan models this season.



AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘GOT MY SWAG ON’
Hey frat boys, put down your YOLO shirts and six-pack abs, you just got out-swagged by this dude and it wasn’t even a competition.
