Lady Gaga Shifts ‘ArtPop’ Promo Into High Gear
Lady Gaga shared another intimate moment with fans this week with a video of herself getting her septum pierced.
In the nearly minute-long video, posted to YouTube by makeup artist Tara Savelo with the title "haus life," a fresh-faced Gaga lies on her back while a man works at her nose. At the beginning and end of the clip, which is set to a pounding house soundtrack, the title of Gaga's forthcoming new album, ARTPOP, flashes across the screen.

The piercing was apparently done at Chicago's MasterMind Ink, which posted a photo of the newly-ringed Gaga on their Facebook page. "Lady Gaga stopped by MasterMind Ink today and had our Head Piercer and Manager Steve Bennett pierce her septum," the caption says.

ARTPOP is due out on November 11th, and Lady Gaga will reportedly debut the first single from the album live at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th.

Accompanied by the tweet, “1ST SINGLE FROM ARTPOP COMES AUG.19 #24DAYS”, the tune –  titled ‘Applause’ – has already seen its Inez & Vinoodh-directed video shot.

"The View" LOOKING To Hire Hoda Kotb?

The streets are talking.....and they're saying that Barbara Walters and the folks at "The View" want Hoda Kotb to add some "diversity" to their panel, according to the NY Post.  Hoda, who has a news background which could add a good quality back into the show that it's been lacking since Meredith Viera left, is Egyptian and the panel does have two African American women on it currently with Whoopi Goldberg & Sherri Shepherd.

A media insider explained Hoda's appeal to Page Six saying,
“Hoda addresses several of their needs. She has news experience, which is something ‘The View’ has not had since Meredith Vieira left. She also adds some diversity to the panel.”

Of course the news prompted a denial from Hoda's camp, who said,
“Hoda loves her job at ‘Today’ and she’s very happy laughing and scratching with Kathie Lee every day.”
But you know...once the streets start talking....an offer has been made.  We will indeed be here for this if it happens.  Loves some Hoda.



Tyra Banks wigs out at the CBS/CW Upfronts: fabulous or ridiculous?
Here are some photos from  CBS/Showtime/CW Upfronts/Summer party. There were so many interesting TV people in attendance, Anyway, there was one stand-out in attendance, mainly because I really thought that some contestants from Ru Paul’s Drag Race had crashed the party. Turns out it was just Tyra Banks and her WIG OF DOOM. OMG.
Really, though, this whole look is a hot mess. The dress is awful, her boobs are jammed in there and pushed up to an uncomfortable level. The earrings look like curtain sashes and the wig… my lord. MESS.
Pauley Perrette (from NCIS) was there. Did you know she’s the most popular and beloved person on television? True story.
Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott are doing some weird CBS drama together – he plays a Secret Service agent and she plays the president’s physician. I don’t get how that stretches out for a whole television drama, but sure.

Sarah Michelle Gellar would have been the best-dressed person at the event if her makeup was a little bit better and she had worn her hair down.
Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs do that terrible 2 Broke Girls comedy. I tried watching it once and I couldn’t believe it was actually on the air. It’s awful.
Allison Janney!!! CJ!!!
Perfection.



DMX Owes Child A Support, Files For Bankruptcy

According to  the Wall Street Journal he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

DMX filed the documents Monday and lists less than $50,000 in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debt. The rapper said in court papers that he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, “to enable me to reorganize my financial affairs.”
 A lot of the debt DMX is in comes from back child support. he owes a little over a million dollars in child support. Another major part of the debt comes from X leasing cars. He owes $20,000 in car payments, which is crazy for someone who hasn’t had a legit license in a long time.

I’m praying DMX, he really needs it.



Jay Z and Beyonce Visits Kim Kardashian and Baby North West While In California

Jay and Bey made a little pit stop while out in LA, they went to see baby North at Kris Jenner’s home in calabasas.. I know Kris was being a pure groupie if she was there. Even though Kanye is Milian doing god knows what, but the couple spent the morning with Kardashian, 32, who has not been seen out in public since giving birth to her tiny bundle of joy on June 15.  Blue Ivy wasn’t in tow for the weekend get-together.

I guess we can really can the fact that Beyonce does not like Kim, a source close to Beyonce told Us Weekly, referring to a story that Beyonce had confronted Kardashian at the Budweiser Made in America festival in September. “There’s absolutely no beef.” In fact, another pal said earlier this month, Kardashian “really looks up to Beyonce,” who debuted an impressive physique just months after having baby Blue Ivy. “Congratulations Kim & Kanye,” Beyonce wrote on her Tumblr just two days after North West’s birth, alongside a photo of Kardashian and West looking happy together. “Enjoy this beautiful moment together.” How cute…



Spotted Cheat–Ting?!?: Jason Derulo Caught With Reggie Bush’s Old Jump Off… Where Is Jordin And The Chastity Belt?!?

Someone has some explaining to do!!!

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have been locked and loaded in a relationship for over a year now and as far as we know… Jordin is still rocking a chastity belt. We always found this relationship a bit strange because Jason definitely likes to “soil his musical oats” and he seem to be staying out of the land of temptation until he was spotted with Carmen Ortega, the chick that broke up Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush… Carmen Ortega.

And now the pic!
Both spotted taking a stroll, sources claim that they were walking from a hotel. That seems like a stretched lie… where in the hell would Jason Derulo be walking from with Carmen Ortega if they just banged?!?

Statement from Carmen’s Camp:
“Carmen is a recording artist and was recording in the studio where Jason was and is nothing more than a dear friend of Jason’s. She is very supportive of his career and is respectful of his relationship with Jordan. They are nothing more than friends.”
We believe that nothing was really happening between these two but the only problem we still need an answer to is… Why Does Carmen Have On A “GET’EM GIRL” Type Dress?!? That is the part that doesn’t add up.

What do you think?!?



Christina Aguilera Stuns With New Slimline Figure At ‘The Voice’ Launch
Cop a gander of Christina Aguilera!
The Pop diva looked like a bag of money and good living as she arrived at the press launch for the fifth season of The Voice in Los Angeles.
Having made headlines for less than savoury reasons in the past, the singer hit all the right notes, turning heads in a demure pink ensemble.
Naturally, we’re wondering why Xtina wasn’t this “on” during her ‘Lotus’ campaign (after all, love it or loathe it, image decides a lot in today’s industry). However, she looks so fierce here that the only direction we’re gazing in is forward.



Lil Kim Penning Book About Prison Stint
Lil Kim has more exciting news for her fans. Over the weekend, news hit that she’d be releasing a new mixtape, titled ‘Hardcore‘, channeling her 1996 debut album. This week, the Brooklyn native confirmed plans that she’d be releasing “Price of Loyalty”,  an autobiography that goes into detail about time she served in federal prison, why she went and the lessons she learned by going through that ordeal.  The book is set to be released early next year. What’s more? Reportedly, her 5th studio album, currently untitled, is in the final touches and is set to be released at the end of this year.  She is also finalizing negotiations on some product lines that will be rolling out over the next year. Sweet!



Adrienne Admits Who Was Really Behind Her Break Up-Email To Rob Kardashian
Adrienne Bailon and Rob Kardashian broke up years ago, but there’s a small detail involving their breakup that Adrienne’s kept secret… until now. Find out how the host faked a new man to get her ex off her back!
Adrienne: America saw one of my break ups pan out on television, but you didn’t see how it really went down….When Rob and I broke up, we pretty much were like, we’re not going to talk about it. It was private, we’re gonna keep it to ourselves. All good. And I think people would think because I was cheated on, I’d go out and be like, ‘He cheated on me!’ but I didn’t wanna do it that way because honestly I was embarrassed…Well, girl, I don’t know if you saw the episode. It’s played enough times on Twitter supposedly…He read an email from me out loud on the show…The email was that he had been calling me nonstop to get back with me and at this point, this was my break up letter. Now, what y’all thought was that it was written from my boyfriend. It was not written from my boyfriend. It was written by me and my girls sitting on the sofa one day thinking to ourselves, well how do we stop him from calling me? And we thought to ourselves the only way to make this guy stop calling me is to make him think I have someone new. If he thinks I have a new man and this new man is writing a letter. ‘I need you to stay out of our lives. We’ve moved on.’ He’d get the point like move on! That’s what we did. He put it on TV. I ended the letter with ‘One dog’ so people were like, ‘Hold up! And the new boyfriend’s black!’…And I felt so bad because at the time there were so many rumors I was dating Fabulous they actually pinned it on him.

Loni: What did the fake boyfriend say in the letter?

Adrienne: I was my own fake boyfriend and my fake boyfriend said, ‘Hey, this is the new man in her life. Please stop calling every day. Please leave her alone. You broke her heart. She’d like to move on.’

Loni: See, that’s too nice. You needed to make it like it was really from a guy. Like ‘I will mess you up if you don’t leave her alone!’

Adrienne: I got left alone. I think it worked……..Haha!



Martin Lawrence’s Ex Wife, Shamicka Says ‘Hollywood Exes’ Will Show Her Divorce + Why She Decided to Do Reality TV

On season two, VH1′s Hollywood Exes has a fresh face, Shamicka Lawrence, the ex-wife of Martin Lawrence. On Sunday night, she made her debut on reality TV, giving viewers a small glimpse into the life of one of the funniest comedians in the industry. In a recent interview with VH1, the soft spoken mother of two explains what she’ll share on the show, why she decided to do reality TV and if she’s ready to be in the spotlight. Check out the interview below.

What was your impression of the show before you started working on it, had you watched it?

Yes, and I liked the fact that they’re classy women, it’s not about being drama-filled, it’s about them moving on with their lives and being there for each other.

What aspects of your life will we get to see?

Well, at that point, I was going through my divorce, so you’re going to see some of my emotions on that. And I have a management company now, so you’ll see me auctioning talent, and I also have Lupus, so I share that with everyone and we go over the things I’m doing to keep my body healthy. It’s a balance of all of those. I’m just trying to find myself again through all of the pain and things I was going through.

What’s your management company all about?

I have musicians and a comedian working with me, most of the musicians write and play instruments, a couple of them have been on The Voice. I have really talented people, and it’s really inspirational music. I’m just looking to give good, positive music back to everybody nowadays. I also sing. I used to sing years ago so that’s also why I love working in music.

What do you hope people take away from you being a part of the show?

My main goal was to inspire women that are going through a divorce. To let them know they can still be strong. It’s a tough situation but it doesn’t have to be as bad. Through every storm, there’s always clear skies ahead. No matter what I’m going through, I never put my problems on anyone else, and I still have God in my life and he’s given me the gift of joy. I just want to be able to inspire.

Did you ever think you’d do a reality show?

Never! Ever ever. I just always thought reality shows were full of drama and fighting and scripted, but one thing about Hollywood Exes is that it’s all real, it’s all us, and of course there’s going to be a little drama, but at the end of the day, friends figure it out.

After being the woman behind Martin for so many years, are you ready to be a public personality and a celebrity in your own right?

I think I am. No, I know I am. At the end of the day, it’s about staying humble, how that one minute that you give that fan of yours will last a lifetime, and it makes a difference. Stay humble to who you are. I’m ready!

Well Alright!



Good in the neighborhood: Kanye West launches non profit organization Donda’s House
While Kanye is busy new daddy to daddy to daughter North West,he still takes time to give back to the community. Kanye West recently launched nonprofit in memory of his mom, “Donda’s House.” Donda’s House has launched a free music writing program in order to help at-risk youth on Chicago’s South Side. The program is called “Got Bars?” and is to set to teach students between 15 and 24 how to write and record their own music over the course of ten weeks. Donda’s House Executive Director Donnie Smith:

“Art instruction and particularly music instruction leads people to become better problem solvers, more flexible. “There are just so many outcomes that come from the study of music and particularly music writing.”

As for the targeted demographic, Smith added:

“We think that 15 to 24-year-olds…they are in the most need of help. We want to get kids in high school, that young adult age range who are confused about where they are in life. We want to give them direction… so many people have just given up on that demographic. And I would add that Dr. Donda West was passionate about the high school dropout rate. We want to be working to help with that at the younger age of that spectrum.”

Mental Illness Is Real: D. Wade Demands Psych Evaluation On Ex Wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade
The divorce may be final, but now there’s another remaining issue—their children. On Monday, after Dwyane Wade and  Siohvaughn Funches-Wade reached a $5 million divorce settlement, the NBA baller filed an emergency motion that forced his ex-wife to undergo psychological testing, or lose all rights to their two boys, Zion, 6 and Zaire, 10. The motion came after Siohvaughn questionable meltdown last week. As you’ll recall, Siohvaughn protested outside of the Daley Center, with a sign stating claiming to be homeless. The three-time NBA champion refused to let his children go on their previously scheduled two-week visitation with their mother. Wade’s attorney’s spoke about the motion filed this week:

S.L.’s [Funches-Wade’s] statements, behavior, and her demeanor in court reflect that she is presently lost, angry and desperate. Her behavior is not in the children’s best interests…D.T. [Wade] requests that this Court immediately suspend S.L.’s timesharing…pending the results of a psychological evaluation of S.L.

In a statement, Siohvaughn denies that there is anything wrong with her or her behavior:

This is Mr. Wade’s ongoing pattern of behavior. I have noticed that after I speak out publicly and say what Dwyane has done to me, my children…Mr. Wade responds by running into court and asking the judge to terminate my visitation with my children in an effort to stop me from seeing my children anymore
Not only did the exes fail to reach a child custody agreement, but their lawyers failed to do so also. Last week, Siohvaughn filed an inference against D.Wade for violating their 2011 agreement that would have the pair alternating time with each two weeks at a time. Funches-Wade’s attorney’s plan to appear in court to demand the children be turned over to their mother. They also plan to seek actions against Wade. Stay tuned.

New details emerge in the case of Georgia baby shot in stroller

The parents of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, who was shot in his stroller by 2 teens in Brunswick, GA. in March, had gunshot residue on them the day their son was killed. The new details emerged in the state’s forensic report obtained by CBS affiliate WTEV. De’Marquise Elkins and Dominique Lang were arrested shortly after the baby was killed.
The teens are suspected of shooting Antonio in the head while trying to rob the infant’s mother, Sherry West, who was also shot in the leg. West said the fact that she was shot would explain the gunshot residue on her. She insisted the baby’s father, Louis Santiago, was not at the scene of the shooting. “My baby was shot. I was shot near my head and of course there’s going to be GSR (gunshot residue) everywhere,” said West.

“He may have touched my clothes in the hospital if there was GSR.”
Defense attorneys for the 2 teenage suspects filed a court discovery motion claiming “Santiago, a convicted felon, had discharged a firearm at or about the same time that his son was shot.”
According to WTEV, Louis Santiago is currently in jail on charges of violating a restraining order and aggravated stalking.
West claims Santiago “went nuts” in the months following their son’s murder, according to WTEV.
“He was throwing things through the window and terrorizing me, saying that I killed my baby and it should have been me,” West told the station.
Police have not named West or Louis Santiago as suspects in the shooting death of their infant. The trial is scheduled to begin next month.
