T.I. & Tiny Talks About Beating The Odds With Ebony Magazine
Hip hop couple T.I. and Tiny will grace the cover of Ebony together for the first time. I can say, they have airbrushed TINY to death. The February 2013 Black Love issue is set to feature the duo as well as newlyweds Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin and Bishop T.D. Jakes with wife Serita who also have their own covers and chat about love, marriage, and how they each make their relationships work. This is the first time each of the other two couples have landed an Ebony cover as well.
Bishop T.D. Jakes on marriage: “Marriage requires work and expecting the unexpected…Don’t let other people design a marriage you can’t live with. Keep other people out your business. Every marriage is different.”
Meagan Good on making it work: “What do I do for him that’s romantic? I try to surprise him whenever he comes to town. I wear nice things…Wink!”
T.I. on happily ever after: “Once I made my mind up that I was going to be committed to this relationship, I started being married then and there…Since I’ve been married, it’s the same relationship, we’re the same people. We treat each other the same way, and we’re just as happy now as we were before.”
In addition, each of the men have penned love letters to their women. To read what they had to say, grab the February issue of Ebony, which hits newsstands Friday, January 4.

She also offers advice to women about being their true selves and partnering up saying,
“Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we’re not willing to show all of us. That’s why we have a weave, we’re wearing Spanx and everything is ‘fine.’ If you’re not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren’t really ready to share yourself…”

First Look: Usher On Nbc’s “The Voice”
Season four of The Voice, featuring Usher filling in for Cee Lo Green, taped blind auditions recently — and it seems Usher is taking to the big red judges chair like pro. What we saw in our brief glimpse into the new season was that there will be no messing around. All four judges, including Shakira (filling in for Christina Aguilera); returnees Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, mean business. For those who are wondering how the Usher’s suave style will translate on camera, he says, “My style is more military than anything, because I’m all about the preparation. My style is to make them understand the seriousness of the craft and that they have the very best opportunity to be the greatest — or the worst — depending on how you take it.”

In the accompanying shirtless picture, the hip-hop star is noticably more toned and muscular with his many tattoos on display.
His stomach tattoo, coincidentally etched with the word 'Stretch,' actually refers to an old nickname because of The Game's six-foot-four frame.
The former gang banger, born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, kept it in the family by joining his little brother BWS Byrd's exercise program called 60 Days of Fitness.
The Game has been documenting his healthy journey on Instagram, posting snaps of himself doing a thousand push-ups and the type of meals he eats to stay trim.
'The goal was to dramatically change my eating habits to a clean diet without error as well as shed the body fat wit massive cardio/ab workouts - Running, hiking, cycling etc.,' he wrote.

Reggae Artist Sean Paul Sued Ex Girlfriend For $80 Million
Reggae superstar Sean Paul, who’s facing a lawsuit from an ex-lover who has made a myriad of surprising claims.
Susanne Persson, who claims to be Sean Paul’s ex-girlfriend, has sued the Got 2 Luv U singer for a whopping $80 million, insisting that the entertainer had her deported from Jamaica in June 2010 after bribing local law enforcement officials. Persson, a Swedish makeup artist and hairstylist, filed the lawsuit in New York’s Manhattan Supreme Court, which includes a self-written book, Irie Jamboree that promises to expose ‘The Truth about Sean Paul’s Cocaine Dealings, Lies, Murders and Erection Problems.’
Irie Jamboree depicts a hand-drawn caricature of Persson and Sean Paul in his trademark mohawk. In the book, Persson claims Sean Paul’s alleged cocaine issues severely affected their love life.
“Ever since [Paul] started using cocaine regularly, he has had severe erection problems. If it lasts one minute, it is a good day,” an excerpt of the book reads.
Persson included her American Airlines itinerary, documenting her June 2010 flight from Kingston to her native Stockholm. A receipt she presented shows that Headline Entertainment, Sean Paul’s promotion company, made the arrangements for said flight.
Furthermore, Persson intimated that Sean Paul, who is married to RETV personality, Jodi ‘Jinx’ Stewart, subjected her starvation, homelessness and repeated suicide attempts, one of which occurred a day prior to her deportation.
“I had tried to kill myself, losing more than one liter of blood from a cut on my wrist,” her court filing read. “I had shown the pictures of the cuts to Sean over the Internet. I feel he should see what he had caused.”
Sean Paul has yet to respond to these allegations. However, the singer’s lawyer, Tom Tavares-Finson rubbished these claims, stating Sean Paul wouldn’t have the authority to have someone deported.
Persson also claims Sean Paul took hundreds of naked pictures of her “obtained under the pretext of a future marriage.”
Tami Roman Loses Weight; Now A Spokesperson For NV Clinical
Actress and controversial, ‘Basketball Wives‘ star Tami Roman has lost a decent amount of weight and she credits it all to a new weight loss program called, NV Clinical. Tami says that she was always referred to as the ‘bigger‘ BBW’s castmate and she had to do something about it.
With a new low-calorie cookbook with a celebrity chef in the works, Tami says she was able to lose 5 pounds in the first two weeks and a total of 35 pounds over time. After Tami blogged about her weight loss journey with NV in October, the company offered her a six-figure deal and she’s currently featured in a new commercial endorsing the product.
Tami says:
I’ve tried to lose weight so many times, but I always gave up easily because the first two weeks are the hardest. Everyone knows that I love food and hopefully can identify with my struggles. I researched and tried NV Clinical and when I saw fast results the first week, it motivated me to keep pushing!

WELL DAMN! Kris Jenner Allegedly In Talks Of Shopping Kim Kardashian’s Baby Bump For Magazine Cover
According reports, Kris Jenner is already banking on baby KimYe. Rumor has it that the mom of the famous Kardashian clan has already contacted editors of weekly magazines to see who will have the highest bid for a Kim Kardashian baby bump cover story. In case you’ve been too caught up with bringing in the new year, Kanye West announced that him and girlfriend, Kim K. are expecting. West made the announcement in front of 5,000 of his fans at his concert in Atlantic City on Sunday. Kim reportedly had no idea that he would make the announcement, as she planned on waiting until she started showing. She and her family tweeted their excitement after Kanye spilled the beans. A media rep, not representing the family, gave their take on how much a baby bump cover would go for:
“(It) likely will sell at $300,000, and that’s Kim solo because Kanye always looks so miserable.”
Must be nice.
What do you think about Mama Jenner shopping Kim’s pregnant pic? A little premature or to be expected?
