The Daily Buzz For May 20



See the Cover Art For Nicki Minaj’s “Pills N Potions”
As she prepares to release her new studio album The Pink Print, Nicki Minaj has revealed the cover art to her first single titled, “Pills N Potions.” She has been teasing her barbs with new music “Yasss B*tch” featuring Soulja Boy and “Chi-raq” featuring rapper Lil Herb and now the official single is ready to drop.

The "Yasss B*tch" rapper said her new single is very uplifting & soulful and it will foreshadow how her whole album will feel. The new track is expected to drop on Wednesday via iTunes.

During an interview with Rap-Up, Nicki dished on her new album saying this album will remind people why they fell in love with her in the first place. As you can see with her transformation from pink wiggery and outlandish outfits to a more subdued natural looking Nicki, her music will likely go back to her gritty, gangsta lyrics that she use to spit when she first hit the scene.
Still no word on when the album will drop but according to Nicki, it will drop once it's complete.


Jennifer Lopez Announces Upcoming “True Love” Book
It seems there’s nothing she cannot do, and Jennifer Lopez's latest project finds her trying her hand at writing.
The “Waiting For Tonight” songstress will release “True Love” on Penguin Group on Tuesday, October 28th, with both English and Spanish versions in the works.
Per a statement from the publisher, "True Love will cover one of her life’s most defining periods – the transformative two-year journey of how, as an artist and a mother, she confronted her greatest challenges, identified her biggest fears, and ultimately emerged a stronger person than she’s ever been."
And J. Lo is glad to share her story- “Writing True Love has been a deeply cathartic, personal, and vulnerable experience. If it were not for the love and courage given to me by my children, this story wouldn’t have been possible. While I struggled with the decision of whether or not to release this book, I recognized that if it could touch even just one person then it would honestly become one of the most fulfilling endeavors of my life."

NYC Jeweler Accused Of Selling Cee Lo Fake $34K Watch
Ever since Jacob the Jeweler's Hip-Hop reign came to an end, there have a been an endless sea of diamond peddlers vying for the crown to bling out rappers across the country.
Instagram account FakeWatchBuster has made a life mission of calling out struggle-encrusted accessories by various artists and recently found themselves in a standoff with Avianne & Co., after they alleged the NYC company gave Cee Lo Green a fugazzi $34K watch.
Reports TMZ:
Avianne & Co. fired off a cease-and-desist letter to the guy behind the popular Instagram account FakeWatchBusta -- because FWB recently posted a pic of CeeLo's custom 20-carat diamond-studded Panerai from Avianne, and outed it as a bad "fake."

Avianne demanded the CeeLo post be taken down immediately and replaced with an apology ... as well as a comment saying the watch is in fact 100% real.
The photo has since been deleted from Instagram, but so far ... no apology's been posted.
Fun fact: Avianne is the same company that made Ciara's 15-carat diamond engagement ring.
FakeWatchBuster fired even more shots following the C&D letter, saying "A fake AP Royal Oak Offshore. Look at how the subdial cuts off the 7 and the 5 and look how the date is placed cutting into the Tachymeter. Fake junk."



Zoe Saldana Gets Sexy In Black At Cannes Film Festival,
Zoe Saldana is pulling out all the stops at the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France.  
Zoe and her new husband Marco Perego are still in newlywed bliss.  The twosome dressed pretty much alike, hair and all, as they left out the Hotel Martinez in Cannes to hit the next big premiere.
But Zoe kept it all woman though in her black pantsuit, unbuttoning the blouse to reveal a deep plunging neckline:
The upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy star was also spotted chatting up Salma Hayek on their way to a premiere.



All in The Family: Tina Knowles, Jay Z, Blue Ivy, Solange & Alan Ferguson Having Lunch In New Orleans…
I guess they have put things behind them. Or at least playing it for the cameras pretty well! The clan all looked pretty happy and relaxed. Solange joined by her sister Beyonce, niece Blue Ivy, Jay-Z and an entourage including her mother Tina and boyfriend Alan Ferguson were spotted at courtyard restaurant Cafe Amelie in New Orleans.
Dressed in a bright yellow sun dress teamed with leopard print sunglasses, Solange was seen smiling as she walked next to Jay-Z before leading the party out of the restaurant. Jay also looked in cheerful mood, smiling broadly as he chatted to Beyonce’s mother Tina while his wife carried their two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. 
The growing youngster wore a pretty green and white floral outfit which coordinated perfectly with her mother’s striped sun dress.



50 Cent Claims He Wasn't Invited To His Son's High School Graduation
Marquise Jackson celebrated a lifetime achievement by graduating high school (at the age of sixteen at that) without the physical support and presence of his rapper daddy, 50 Cent.
After being the victim of much online scrutiny, Fiddy is allegedly breaking his silence through his PR posse and claims that his baby mother shielded knowledge of the entire event from him.
Via TMZ:
50 Cent didn't abandon his son on high school graduation day -- despite an emotional Facebook post from the kid -- instead 50 claims he was intentionally blocked from attending by his son's mother ... at least that's what 50 is telling friends.
Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, Fiddy is extremely hurt and upset by the photo his son Marquise Jackson posted on Facebook Sunday crying in his cap and gown while hugging his mother.
Marquise wrote, "Yea I broke down. I was really excited to see my pops at my graduation but he never showed up smh. My sister and mama is always there for me just know that you wasn't. I did it without you."
But 50 disagrees ... telling friends he was never told when or where the graduation ceremony was, or he would have been there. FYI, the ceremony was at Marquise's private school in ATL (the same school 50 reportedly foots the bills for).
We're told 50 spent last weekend in NYC for a charity event.
Regardless of the reasoning, it still a sad story, especially since Marquise seems to be a big fan of his pops. Several videos on his Instagram account feature him riding around in the back seat, reciting his rhymes from new and older records.
Somebody is likely getting one helluva graduation present to make up for lost time. It's also being speculated that Marquise got accepted to a college in Maine.



Toni Braxton Speaks On ‘Secret Abortion’ She Had In 2001…
Toni Braxton has revealed some very personal news about herself. Toni has told the media that she had a secret abortion before her 2-kids were born. The 46-year-old singer fell pregnant with her then-boyfriend, (now ex-husband) Keri Lewis‘ child before they married in April 2001 and decided to terminate the baby as she was taking Accutane, a prescription acne treatment which can have serious side-effects for unborn babies.

And while Toni tells Entertainment Tonight ‘I am more ashamed of myself for doing that’, in a new interview, she admitted in her autobiography that she would have had the abortion anyway. But she was left devastated when her second son was diagnosed with autism and believed she was being punished for terminating her pregnancy. I don’t know if I could have shared such a story with a world of people who judge and throw stones all the time. But, big ups to Toni for being transparent.

Why Mike Epps was Lying About Being At Heat vs. Pacers Game?
Comedian Mike Epps was caught flexing on Twitter yesterday after he posted a photo of the Heat playing the Pacers. Only problem is…the photo he tweeted a "fake" pic.  WHile his pic showed black uniforms, the Heat actually played in their red uniforms. Sighs…
Once people caught on to Mike’s fake pic, he quickly deleted it from his timeline. He then tried back track his mistake, posting a new photo of him in Australia saying he hit the playoff game last night but is now in Australia.
I was at the pacer game last nite but now I am in Australia pic.twitter.com/4mqu6QUfFG

He still is lying. The Heat and the Pacers played on Sunday, May 18th (above). As you can see, he posted his pic on May 18th and said he was at the game last night. Ummm…yea. You can also see the Pacer fans have on the yellow t-shirts passed out before the game (in the real photo). Hardly anyone in Mike's photo has on yellow. Luckily for Mike, the Pacers defeated the Heat 107-96. Game 2 goes down tomorrow Indiana at 8:30pm/EST.
This guy...



AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘WE’VE GOT A NEW LOOK!’
Nothing like some warm delicious bottom biscuits to get you week started off right. Although I have to admit these buns are looking pretty good…maybe not as good looking as our brand new redesign, but both bring a smile to my face. Enjoy them both.



HAVE A GREAT DAY!
