Lauryn Hill Tour Postpones, Adds New Concert Dates
Lauryn Hill is making some changes to her “Homecoming” tour. This week the singer’s first tour since leaving prison for tax evasion was supposed to make stops in New Jersey and New York, but Hill has rescheduled the dates for next year. Her Huntington, New York stop will now take place on January 26th and she will then stop in Port Chester, New York on January 31st. On February 7th Hill will head to Red Bank, New Jersey.

In October, Lauryn Hill was released from prison after serving three months for tax evasion. She was also sentenced to three months of house arrest, but a judge postponed part of that sentence until after the New Year so she could hit the road.

Jan. 26 - Huntington, NY (The Paramount)
Jan. 31 - Port Chester, NY (The Capitol Theatre)
Feb. 7 - Red Bank, NJ (Count Basie Theatre)

Dwyane Wade CONFIRMS New Son
I heard months ago we reported that D. Wade was expecting a baby with his mistress and now the baby has been born! Wade proposed to his long-time girlfriend Gabrielle Union last week and now it has hit the fan. We’re hearing that Gabby and Wade have dealt with this beforehand and are still planning on tying the knot in September, 2014.
Apparently the two took a break from one another and in that time D. Wade got someone pregnant. So who’s the mother? That’s a mystery for now. All we know is that the mystery woman and D. Wade have known each other “for many years.” It’s important to note that Dwyane and the mother are on good terms and ET News says he recently spent time with his youngest son.
Gabrielle has addressed the news on Twitter by asking critics and haters to “work on themselves” before pointing the finger at Dwyane and their situation. I know this is embarrassing and publicly humiliating for Gabby, ladies.. would you still walk down the aisle?
Peep the tweets:

Michael Vick's Younger Brother Marcus Vick Arrested For Driving While High On Weed
You know that family member everyone has that just can't do right? Michael Vick's example would be his brother Marcus Vick, who was just popped this morning (December 30) for driving while high on marijuana.
Reports TMZ:
Former college football star Marcus Vick -- the younger brother of Michael Vick -- was arrested in Georgia this morning after cops say he was driving while high on marijuana ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... the 29-year-old former Virginia Tech quarterback was driving a 2013 Lexus LX570 which was stopped around 2:30 AM for expired tags.
During the stop, cops noticed the presence of marijuana and Vick was arrested for DUI.
Vick was hauled to a nearby station ... and sources tell us he was booked right around 4:20 AM.
Vick is no stranger to trouble ... he was arrested in Virginia in 2012 for blowing off multiple court dates stemming from driving on a suspended license charge.
Aside from that ... he was booted off the Virginia Tech football team back in 2006 following a string of arrests and convictions and has been involved in multiple legal issues since ... including gun charges.
We're guessing that big brother paid for that car.

The mogul, who has turned his Ciroc Vodka into a $100 million franchise, has just sealed a deal to partner with DeLeon, which was founded by Brent Hocking in 2008 and was introduced to the US market on Cinco de Mayo, 2009. It has since won a string of awards.
After spending Christmas with his kids in Los Angeles, Revolt TV founder Diddy is celebrating the deal by throwing a lavish New Year’s party at his mansion on Miami’s exclusive Star Island, which will be awash with the flashy tipple that sells from $140 to $825 a bottle.
