Must be Nice: Jada Pinkett Smith treats her 14-year-old son Jaden to a pricey piece of Cartier jewellery 
Having already starred in a number of hit movies and with a music career in the works, Jaden Smith is no ordinary 14-year-old. 
And on Monday, his actress mother Jada Pinkett Smith took him shopping for an extraordinarily lavish gift. 
While most teenagers can expect vouchers, DVDs or video games as gifts from their parents, Jada and Jaden were spotted in luxury jewellery store Cartier in New York City where the teen appeared to pick out some merchandise for himself. 

Both mother and son seemed to try on bracelets with Jaden looking interested in a gold bangle or watch at one point. 
The pair seemed pleased with their purchases as they left the store smiling and laughing together.
But there was no sign of Jaden's famous father Will Smith. 
Jaden has been in New York City to shoot his new Hello music video which also featured his younger sister Willow Smith. 
The song follows the release of song The Coolest last September. 
Willow was also spotted out with her mother Jada on Monday, with the 12-year-old wrapped up warm against the New York cold. 
The youngster took a rare backseat by appearing in her big brother's video - she usually takes centre stage having released hit song Whip My Hair back in 2010. 
With both children making careers in showbusiness, Jada has to ensure that her children's feet are firmly on the ground. 
'I enforce curfews and bedtimes, and there are consequences for bad behaviour,' she once told Redbook magazine. 
'Our son Trey just turned 18, and we [finally] lifted his curfew. Will wanted to keep it, but I said to him, "Will, he's basically an adult now."'
 Power duo: Willow Smith and her 41-year-old mother Jada headed out in style from their NYC hotel earlier on Tuesday
She also revealed that she isn't frightened of her children growing up in Hollywood. 
'Let me tell you what I fear most: Them growing up like I did, in a house with drugs in a war zone, where if I walked out my door I could be shot,' she said. 
'Hollywood ain't nothing compared to that! Growing up in the streets of Baltimore, or the streets of Philly where Will grew up — I'd rather have my kids here. 
'It still makes me nervous that they're part of something that isn't totally real, but it's up to Will and me to teach them what's real and what's not.'

Chris Brown Speaks On Rihanna -- "We Are Back Together...She's The Most Beautiful Girl In The World"
Chris Brown is expressing his love and admiration for his girlfriend Rihanna.  And since he's explicity confirmed the two are back together--something Rihanna liked to only confirm vaguely--he has no qualms publicly gushing his love for his girl.

Fresh off partying hard in Hawaii with Rihanna for her 25th birthday a few days ago, Chris jetted back to L.A. to attend Elton John's Oscar party Sunday night.

There, he revealed the official status of he and Rihanna (and more) to the NY Post saying:
 “We are really happy. We are back together. She is the most beautiful girl in the world. But I’m sad she couldn’t be here tonight; she is rehearsing for her tour.”

Well isn't that special.



Bobby Brown slapped with 55-day jail sentence on drunk-driving rap 
Singer has until March 20 to report to LA jail 

Singer Bobby Brown Bobby Brown is poised to be a new addition to the Los Angeles County Jail.

The troubled singer has been slapped with a 55-day jail sentence after pleading no contest Tuesday to a drunken-driving charge,the gossip website TMZ reported Tuesday.
Brown, 44, the former husband of the late Whitney Houston, has until March 20 to surrender to Los Angeles county jail.
He was also ordered to attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meeting a week until he goes to jail and to complete an 18-month alcohol program as part of his probation.

Brown, a member of the famed group New Edition, was busted in October after cops spotted him driving erratically in Studio City, Calif., pulled him over and smelled alcohol on his breath. He failed a field sobriety test.
It was the third DUI conviction for Brown. His driver’s license was suspended following a DUI conviction last year.


Steve Harvey Investigated for Vandalism
Steve Harvey and his bodyguard are being investigated for vandalizing a car at an equestrian show...
According to Gossip Extra Steve Harvey is in Palm Beach to watch his 15 year old daughter compete in a horse jumping event.
Apparently parking on the show grounds is scarce so Steve Harvey positioned two golf charts in a parking space to save his spot.
When Steve returned to the event later in the day the carts had been removed by security and another car was parked in their place, leaving the talk show host visibly annoyed according to reports.  

Witnesses claim a man fitting Steve Harvey's bodyguard's description was spotted near the car that took Steve's space, which was later discovered to have been deeply keyed down both sides, across the trunk and the hood.  
Deputies questioned Steve and his bodyguard and the bodyguard's drivers license will be used in a photo line up later this week.

Whoever is found to have damaged the vehicle could be charged with a felony.



Big Boi to OUTKAST fans: Don’t Ask Me About No Reunion!
Rapper Big Boi (real name Antwan André Patton) is border-line sick and tired (my words, not his) of journalists and fans alike asking about an Outkast reunion. While he’s certainly made a name for himself solo (he recently released Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors), in an interview with Vibe Magazine, he insists that all is well between him and Andre Dre 3000 (real name Andre Benjamin…they met way back when in  high school). 

He explained:
“Until y’all see us sitting together, don’t ask me about no Outkast.  My kids stay over at Uncle Dre’s or go to his mom’s house.  He and his dad come by to watch football and shoot pool.  Only so many times you can say, “Aint nothing wrong.”"

In the interview, the Savannah native also jokes about how, from the very beginning, the two pushed the fashion envelope in the hip hop world:
 “Dre and I were always color-coordinated.  When we did The Chris Rock Show, Dre had on the diaper and was like “What do you think?” I was like, “Do that sh*t.” I had a fur coat,  hoping some muh’fucka from PETA would throw some sh*t on me.”

The 38-year-also opens up about how he used music to cope with the loss of his close family members:
 ”My father passed away four or five years ago, my grandmother passed a year ago, and another one a year before that. These were the people who raised me, so I’m just now healing. I used music as a way of self-medicating.”

Check his full interview in Vibe’s February/March issue, on page 20.

Naomi and Tyra Battling each other AGAIN?
Insiders claim the intense rivalry between Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks shifted back into high gear after Naomi's modeling competition show 'The Face' debuted...

According to Industry Insiders
Tyra believes Naomi's New Show is a cheap rip-off of her own successful decade-long series, “America’s Next Top Model,” say sources.
Adding fuel to the fire, Naomi, 42, tapped Nigel Barker – a judge who was axed from Tyra’s show after 18 seasons – to host her new Oxygen Network competition.
“Tyra feels her rival is going for blood!” an insider told The ENQUIRER.
The 39-year-old beauty has plenty to be concerned about, say sources.
“America’s Next Top Model” has just been cut back from two seasons per year to one by the CW Network.
Meanwhile, Naomi’s show features a powerhouse line-up, including the runway superstar and fellow models Karolina Kurkova, 28, and Coco Rocha, 24, mentoring three teams of aspiring models competing to represent ULTA beauty products.



Kim Kardashian Covers ‘Cosmo’ Magazine
Kim Kardashian covers Cosmopolitan magazine’s April 2013 issue, hich hits the newsstands on  March 5.
Check out what the 32-year-old pregnant star had to say:

On being judgmental when Kourtney got pregnant in 2009: “I was like, ‘You’re not married! How could you do this?’ I was really firm and strict. But she was like, ‘Marriage isn’t what I want.’ And later, I realized she had a better family life than I did.”

On having a baby: “I’ve always said that I wanted kids, but I don’t think I ever would have been ready until now.”

On her relationship with Kanye West: “Sometimes you’re just not ready. A person could have it all, and you’re not ready for it all. But this is where I probably always should have been…[marriage] is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don’t have this sense of urgency about it. I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me.”

On having it all in a relationship: “I used to think, Well, can you really have it all? The truth, the excitement, and the passion? Now I know you can.”

On taking your time: “I saw fast marriages like Khloe and Lamar’s and that was what seemed to work. [Now] I say give it a good six months before you commit. Feelings change, even if it seems so lustful.”

YEAH….

Michael Jackson's Children Still Haven't Received Any Money From His Estate?
It's been nearly four years since his death and Michael Jackson's children still haven't received any money from his estate...

From Yahoo, 
More than three years after the death of Michael Jackson, the trust fund for his children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, ages 15, 14, and 10, has to yet be dispersed. His estate is $600 million and Estate Street Partners (ESP) has this advice for others to avoid a Jackson-like disaster. 
Rocco Beatrice, Managing Director of ESP, founders of the UltraTrust irrevocable trust, explains that “because of poor estate planning Michael’s family will have to still wait years until his probate, estate taxes, creditors’ claims, and other legal battles are finalized.”
The children are receiving almost a seven-figure allowance - annually. This includes the mansion, private schooling at the famous Buckley School near Beverly Hills with a yearly $29,000 tuition and vacations. These expenses amount to $70,000 per month according to the NY Daily News.
Family members are wondering where all the money is going. According to the NY Daily News, they are worried that people are stealing money.

Wanna See Beyonce in NYC? Sure, Just bring your GUN!
A millionaire hip-hop mogul has a bold plan to rid New York City streets of firearms: He wants to offer young gunslingers who turn in their weapons mentorships ... and Beyoncé concert tickets.

Michael (Blue) Williams, the head of Family Tree Entertainment, has pitched the city’s first private-sector gun buyback program to NYPD brass and is waiting for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly’s okay.
“We want to get as many guns off the streets, and if this works, we’d like to support it,” Kelly told the Daily News, adding that the proposal needs more study.

If given the green light, Williams — who has managed the wildly successful careers of OutKast and Cee-Lo Green and has the ear of hip-hop and rap royalty — said he’ll solicit help from none other than Beyoncé.
“The Beyoncé show is coming to Brooklyn; the Jay-Z show is coming to Yankee Stadium. Our goal is to reach out to individuals who are in my industry, in my world and who I have an association with and get their support,” Williams, 43, said Monday.
“I think we should all work together to help get guns off the streets,” Williams said.
Beyoncé is slated to perform at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in August, while Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake are set to play Yankee Stadium in July. Williams hopes to also talk Jay-Z into the guns for tickets deal — once police sign off on it.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly (left) is studying the the gun buyback proposal with other city officials. 
Williams hopes to launch the program — dubbed “Guns for Greatness” — on March 23 at a Brooklyn church.

Kelly said the police would have to be involved.
 “You need police officers present. You’d need the expertise,” Kelly said.
Williams has raised $75,000 for the program is working to boost that figure to $100,000.
“This program aims to provide young people with an opportunity to receive guidance and inspiration from committed mentors, an important option that will enable them to experience possibilities other than a life surrounded by gun violence and unnecessary shootings and killing,” Williams’ letter to Kelly reads.
Hot 97 radio, the International House of Pancakes and several record labels, including Polo Grounds Music and Primary Wave Music, have also signed on.
Williams said he was prompted to do something about gun violence after his business partner, Chris Lighty, co-founder of Violator records, shot himself to death in August. He said his own recent arrest for bringing a gun he had registered in Georgia but not in New York through LaGuardia Airport was also an “eye-opening experience.”
 “It was just sort of like a pushing point,” Williams said. “It eventually convinced me that one person can make a difference if they believe in something.”
He sent a written proposal to Kelly on Friday after meeting with top police brass.
The letter was co-signed by Richard Buery, president and CEO of the Children’s Aid Society; L. Londell McMillan, publisher of The Source magazine; and former federal prosecutor Kenneth Thompson.
“I was very excited to lend any assistance I could because I think what he (Williams) has developed is unprecedented,” said Thompson, 46, a candidate for Brooklyn district attorney. “Blue has set up a way to reach these young men.”
Thompson, who went into private practice after helping to prosecute cops involved in the infamous Abner Louima torture case, envisioned the program serving as a model across the nation.

“He doesn’t have to do this,” he said of Williams, who has made a fortune in a hip-hop management career spanning 20 years. “He’s doing this because it’s the right thing to do.”
Source magazine publisher Londell McMillan co-signed the letter to Kelly. 
The program will aim at enticing young black and Latino men ages 16 to 36 to give up their weapons for a chance at an alternative to gun violence.
In the letter to Kelly, Williams noted that “95% of shooting victims and shooting suspects in New York City are either black or Latino.”
“A disturbingly high number of these victims are young people,” the letter reads. “As Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and others have noted strongly, the issue of gun violence is an urgent crisis that requires immediate attention.”
Williams said the initiative would be similar to the current NYPD gun-buyback program offering up to $250 cash for weapons surrendered anonymously with no questions asked.
But anyone who seizes the opportunity to sign up for a mentorship with major movers and shakers from an array of industries — including the recording business and finance — will receive a bonus, he said.
 “You can make a decision to take that money and walk back out, or you can make the choice to get a mentor,” said Williams, raised in the south Bronx by a single mother who was a school principal.
Former federal prosecutor Kenneth Thompson also co-signed the letter. 
“In my perfect world, I’d love to have a gift package for signing up for the mentorship program that is worth way more than $250,” he said. “I think that when you’re dealing with younger people, you have to offer a little more to incentivize them,” he said.
The NYPD’s gun-buyback efforts began in 2008 with the collection of 2,632 firearms, but public participation has drastically dwindled since. Last year, only 941 guns were surrendered.
And Williams suggested the demographic turning over guns to the NYPD includes very few of the young hip-hop fans he deals with on a daily basis.
 “That’s the audience they need to reach out for, the ones who are carrying the guns and committing the crimes. That’s my sweet spot, so to speak,” Williams said.

Well it remains unclear if Beyoncé will lend her support to Williams’ program. Hopefully she will!

Clive Davis Clears Up Whitney Houston Rumors
In his autobiography, 'The Soundtrack of My Life', Clive Davis comes clean about his own sexuality, and touches on the rumors surrounding his most iconic artist, Whitney Houston...'
The Grio's Chris Witherspoon asked Clive Davis about the persistent lesbian rumors surrounding Whitney Houston and her former best friend and personal assistant Robyn Crawford.

Clive tells Chris,
“As I saw Whitney, and you keep your personal life to a separate side, I really saw her in brief relationships with men. I do write about that. She did have an interim relationship with Jermaine Jackson when he was separated.”
“I know of other boyfriends. I know she went out with Eddie Murphy for a while until she married Bobby Brown. I only knew of Robyn as her assistant, someone she grew up with, since she was a teenager. I just knew the heterosexual side of Whitney.”

Maino's Baby Momma Zakia Baum TALKS Blasts Lil' Kim For CREEPING With Her (Ex) Man
Since the cancellation of her show "Starter Wives Confidential" reality star Zakim Baum, who's also the mother of Maino's 11-year-old son, talked to the Street Disciplez  about 50 Cent lying about getting the show cancelled.  She also gave her thoughts on Lil' Kim cheating with Maino. Here are the highlights:

ON LATE NIGHT CALLS FROM LIL KIM AND KIM DATING MAINO'S BEST FRIEND FIRST:
"I heard things about them being together while we were together. I just had calls at night, her calling in the wee hours of the morning. His cell phone; he seems to not remember this though, but I remember it quite clearly."

"I knew she was dating his friend before that. Not only his friend, his best friend. So I never imagined it. I would see pictures of them out, my girlfriends would always send me pictures. It's interesting, when she did her show, people would tell me, no he's with her; this day he's with her, that day. And then when that jail show [Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown] came out, I'm like this f*cking b*tch is lying, pardon my French. And I'm like, damn, Jermaine was with her, and I confronted him, but he never admitted to being with her, ever."

ON WHETHER SHE EVER CONFRONTED LIL KIM:
"The only time I saw her, I saw her twice with him. It was at a video shoot, and one was at, he did a show, I don't even want to remember that. He had a show, and it was a bit crazy. But, maybe it was my naievete at the time, I still thought that, I thought he was screwing her manager Hillary at the time. I didn't know who it was. I knew it was one of them, but I didn't think it was her initially. In my mind, a woman can't be with one man, a person's best friend, and then be with him. It just didn't, I couldn't imagine that, I couldn't fathom it. Until calls in the middle of the night, and then I got so much proof after we were broken up. I mean people were telling me they were together the whole time. They were together. The times when you thought they were together, they were together. So, I really got my proof after we were broken up."

"But I want the record to be clear, Lil Kim is not someone that I'm thinking about. I'm not even thinking about Jermaine. That particular [episode] I was angry not about Kim being there, because she's completely insignificant to me, I was upset at Monica just not telling me. So that was it. It was just the principle, and I'm a person that's big on principle."

ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SHOW BEING PICKED UP BY ANOTHER NETWORK:
"This is what we're battling right now. It's a lot. We're still, I can't say too much, we're not settled with what happened because we still can't grasp how after two episodes how you make a decision. They didn't give it a chance. You can't compare it to a 'Honey Boo Boo' or 'Say Yes to the Dress'. I'm sure when these shows started, they weren't bringing in big numbers. It just doesn't make sense. After the second episode, they pretty much made up their mind that we would be going to TLC.com. So that quite actually doesn't sit well with us."


ON 50 CENT SAYING HE GOT THE SHOW PULLED:
"I can tell you one thing, 50 Cent did not have anything to do with us being pulled off. I know he put that rumor out there, and I don't even know why he would care. He succeeded at, I don't even know if he succeeded. I'm not even going to get into that. I can't even talk about that with Shaniqua not being on the show, who would have been such a pivotal person on the show. She's a wonderful and awesome person. I love her. She is the one, we are the closest."

The Daily Buzz For Feb 28



Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s Steamy L’Officiel Hommes Cover
Unlike most, we’ve maintained a muted stance on the relationship of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. After all, who are we to judge?
However, the shameless duo have elevated media whoring to lofty new levels on the latest cover of L’Officiel Hommes.
Clearly paying homage to the deed that made Kardashian a household name in the first place, the couple (who are expecting a child together) seem adamant to show the world just how into each other they are – literally.
And while sharing every nugget of life is Kardashian Family Values, we’re a little perplexed (and disappointed) with Kanye.

This is the same Yeezy moaning to everyone and their dog about the “system” and how it’s set up to fail artists, only to willingly “sell” his relationship for coin and exposure the very same week. Again, we love us some Kanye and his crazy ways, but we’re going to need him to have an arena of seats with this one. Pronto.
Your thoughts?



SNEAKER FAB: Beyonce Nabs Her Own Custom "King Bey" Isabel Marant Wedge Sneaker
Beyonce is the latest high-profile celeb to have a high-end custom sneaker designed in her honor.   And it's one fit for a Queen (Bey):
PMK, the geniuses behind Jay-Z's re-imagined Air Jordan 1's "Brooklyn Zoo" have now created a sneaker in honor of Beyonce called "King Bey" Isabel Marant Sneaker Wedge.
The one-of-a-kind design takes the Isabel Marant sneaker wedge to another level with what the company called the "Eden treatment." The press release says "A hybrid of land and sea skins are used to create this handcrafted creation. Stingray, Ostrich, calfs fur, Crocodile, and Anaconda give the already impeccable design atitude and the tones of white mixed with gold stitched details produces a feeling of elegance, mimicking the southern belle's sweet and fierce persona. Perfectly made describes this design best."
And since the Isabel Marant sneaker trend went through the roof--selling out everywhere--after Bey rocked the black suede versions in her "Love On Top" video, it's only right she gets a lil something special.

So....DO WE LOVE IT?

And during a recent chat with Singers Room, Elle talked about her next moves saying, "What's up next for me is my second album, that I'm working on currently. I'm excited to tell my story of where I'm at. Since "Perfectly Imperfect" was my coming of age, it was going through college, the motions. Now it's like I have this whole new life. I'm an up and coming artist. I have Stevie Wonder and Michelle Obama, like everything has changed. I really want to reflect on where I'm at now as a woman, as an artist, and just keep it coming."

Dawn Richard Talks Life Lessons From Diddy, Being A Whore For Her Man + Missing Danity Kane
Over the weekend, newly independent artist Dawn Richard held a private album release celebration in DC, before her concert at Howard Theatre. The New Orleans native was all smiles, as she gave a very open and candid interview with us. The sweeties over at The Jasmine Blog got her to open up about all things Diddy and Danity Kane, what went wrong in her public relationship with Que (formerly of Day 26) and being a whore (her words, not ours) for her new man. 
Check the interview out below.

On the most challenging record on her album:
That’s a good question. Everything was organic. Most of the songs were written in a half an hour which was different from the process of working with Dirty Money. There were aren’t any challenging or difficult moments with recording this album.

Three things she learned from Diddy:
One….If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will. Diddy is the king of believing in himself. Two….Marketing your brand. It’s so important to be able to sell yourself as a brand and believe in that brand enough to give it to people in a way that’s honest, raw, genuine and ever-evolving. Three…Presentation is everything. I am always fine tuning ways of marketing myself because now I don’t have the same push as I did when I was with a big label.

Her favorite gospel song:
Prodigal Son by Kim Burrell

Favorite song to get dressed to before a party:
Army of me by Bjork

Favorite ratchet song:
All Gold Everything by Trinidad James. That is my shit.

Favorite song to get her in the mood in the bedroom:
Anything by Sade. Mostly Ordinary Love or Cherish the Day. If you put on
Sade, we will make a baby.

On what she misses most from Danity Kane:
The funny drunk moments. Those girly moments. Being on the stage. We had great, great chemistry. We had fun.

On her relationship with the other former members of Danity Kane:
I love them. Yes, we speak we can. They are my girls forever. But nothing can last when you’re competing each other. People misunderstood us. We did our best to support and love one another in the way that we were created. But we did a hell of a job. We weren’t like Destiny’s Child who grew up as sisters and chose that. We were put together. It’s hard to have something like that in that situation. But I still love them.

Her view on a possible Danity Kane reunion:
Oh, I would do it. But everybody has to want to do it.

Her views on being in a relationship and being an entertainer:
I don’t think it’s tough when you’re honest. I think people make it tough when you choose to be dishonest. It would have been easier if he was just honest and he wasn’t. I am a private person and it took a lot out of me to put my relationship out there. Honesty would have carried us farther.

On what her previous relationship with Que from Day 26 taught her:
It taught me a lot about myself and what I could withstand. I was surprised that I wasn’t more violent when I found out some things. But I surprised myself with being more kind, understanding and tolerant. I used to look at it as being horrible; now I look at it as something that I had to go through. I appreciate what Que was. I still love him as a person. But the relationship ran its course. It wasn’t meant to be.

On whether or not she is relationship-oriented:
I’m a serial monogamous. I am great at being single but when I’m with someone, I can be with them forever. I am a Leo, I am loyal and I can find the beauty in you even at your worst.

On who she is dating now:
I am dating. I won’t tell you who it is. It’s very private. But I am very nasty. I’m very sexual. Girl, I am a whore for my man. So, because I am all over the place for him, I keep things to myself. But I’ve always been secretive because I am such a wild child.

On whose wardrobe she would swap with in the industry:
Daphne Guinness. She is incredible. She is a style icon. She isn’t an entertainer but she is a style muse. I love everything she has.

On whether or not she wears Spanx:
Nope. Whatever you see hanging out is hanging out. Hahaha. The cellulite on my ass, stretchmarks and all. Take me as I am.

Three items in her purse she can’t live without:
Lip gloss, my iPhone, my Nokia and condoms, you know, just in case.

On what she wants her legacy to be:
That I changed music. That I changed the sound of R&B.

Maino's Baby Momma Zakia Baum TALKS Blasts Lil' Kim For CREEPING With Her (Ex) Man
Since the cancellation of her show "Starter Wives Confidential" reality star Zakim Baum, who's also the mother of Maino's 11-year-old son, talked to the Street Disciplez  about 50 Cent lying about getting the show cancelled.  She also gave her thoughts on Lil' Kim cheating with Maino. Here are the highlights:

ON LATE NIGHT CALLS FROM LIL KIM AND KIM DATING MAINO'S BEST FRIEND FIRST:
"I heard things about them being together while we were together. I just had calls at night, her calling in the wee hours of the morning. His cell phone; he seems to not remember this though, but I remember it quite clearly."

"I knew she was dating his friend before that. Not only his friend, his best friend. So I never imagined it. I would see pictures of them out, my girlfriends would always send me pictures. It's interesting, when she did her show, people would tell me, no he's with her; this day he's with her, that day. And then when that jail show [Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown] came out, I'm like this f*cking b*tch is lying, pardon my French. And I'm like, damn, Jermaine was with her, and I confronted him, but he never admitted to being with her, ever."

ON WHETHER SHE EVER CONFRONTED LIL KIM:
"The only time I saw her, I saw her twice with him. It was at a video shoot, and one was at, he did a show, I don't even want to remember that. He had a show, and it was a bit crazy. But, maybe it was my naievete at the time, I still thought that, I thought he was screwing her manager Hillary at the time. I didn't know who it was. I knew it was one of them, but I didn't think it was her initially. In my mind, a woman can't be with one man, a person's best friend, and then be with him. It just didn't, I couldn't imagine that, I couldn't fathom it. Until calls in the middle of the night, and then I got so much proof after we were broken up. I mean people were telling me they were together the whole time. They were together. The times when you thought they were together, they were together. So, I really got my proof after we were broken up."

"But I want the record to be clear, Lil Kim is not someone that I'm thinking about. I'm not even thinking about Jermaine. That particular [episode] I was angry not about Kim being there, because she's completely insignificant to me, I was upset at Monica just not telling me. So that was it. It was just the principle, and I'm a person that's big on principle."

ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SHOW BEING PICKED UP BY ANOTHER NETWORK:
"This is what we're battling right now. It's a lot. We're still, I can't say too much, we're not settled with what happened because we still can't grasp how after two episodes how you make a decision. They didn't give it a chance. You can't compare it to a 'Honey Boo Boo' or 'Say Yes to the Dress'. I'm sure when these shows started, they weren't bringing in big numbers. It just doesn't make sense. After the second episode, they pretty much made up their mind that we would be going to TLC.com. So that quite actually doesn't sit well with us."


ON 50 CENT SAYING HE GOT THE SHOW PULLED:
"I can tell you one thing, 50 Cent did not have anything to do with us being pulled off. I know he put that rumor out there, and I don't even know why he would care. He succeeded at, I don't even know if he succeeded. I'm not even going to get into that. I can't even talk about that with Shaniqua not being on the show, who would have been such a pivotal person on the show. She's a wonderful and awesome person. I love her. She is the one, we are the closest."

J.R. Smith Responds To K. Michelle's Interview On Power 105
From the looks of what's going on, it seems that K. Michelle and J.R. Smith had a pretty bad break up. The reason why I say this is because during K. Michelle's interview with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" she went into detail about how J.R. Smith went out of his way to hurt her feelings on Twitter when she was really in love with him. If you missed out on K. Michelle's interview with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" then check it out when you go (here).

Well, it seems that J.R. Smith is not done yet with his subliminals on Twitter because shortly after K. Michelle's interview came out he had this to say about it on Twitter......when you look below:
Then J.R.'s Twitter fans followed up with these tweets below:
I hope things get better for these two because going at each other like this on a public networking site is #No Bueno. What are your thoughts?

Clive Davis Clears Up Whitney Houston Rumors
In his autobiography, 'The Soundtrack of My Life', Clive Davis comes clean about his own sexuality, and touches on the rumors surrounding his most iconic artist, Whitney Houston...'
The Grio's Chris Witherspoon asked Clive Davis about the persistent lesbian rumors surrounding Whitney Houston and her former best friend and personal assistant Robyn Crawford.

Clive tells Chris,
“As I saw Whitney, and you keep your personal life to a separate side, I really saw her in brief relationships with men. I do write about that. She did have an interim relationship with Jermaine Jackson when he was separated.”
“I know of other boyfriends. I know she went out with Eddie Murphy for a while until she married Bobby Brown. I only knew of Robyn as her assistant, someone she grew up with, since she was a teenager. I just knew the heterosexual side of Whitney.”
