Kim Kardashian & Kendall Jenner Hits the Runway In Balmain
Famous sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian are serving all types of fashion. Both got Instagram happy, sharing a number of photos of them backstage at Balmain’s show in Paris. Kendall, who is much taller than newly married Kim, jokingly wrote on Instagram:

"she looks up to ME #BalmainArmy"
Creative director Oliver Rousteing snapped a few #Usies with the famous Keeping Up With the Kardashian starlets, along with other models. The gang later hit up Vogue’s after party.



Trina Braxton Puts Her Younger Sister Tamar Braxton in Her Place
*There’s more drama among the Braxton sisters.This time around it’s Trina Braxton and Tamar Braxton.
Trina blasted her little sister Tamar about how she can criticize others, but ironically she can’t take criticism.
It all went down at the 2014 Essence Music Festival when the sisters sat down and talked about unsolicited advice.

“You can’t say, ‘Oh, okay. I thought I was giving this unsolicited advice’ and think that it’s some kind of therapeutic thing because if someone says the same thing to you, it’s like, ‘You tried it. No, you didn’t. Who you talking to?’” Trina said.
Tamar has “provided advice” on her sisters’ careers, marriages, image and fashion.
“I was outspoken and I thought that because they were my sisters, it was cool for me to give my unsolicited advice and opinions on their life and what’s going on with them,” Tamar said.

WATCH: 

Nevertheless, Trina reminded Tamar if she doesn’t like unsolicited advice then neither do her sisters.

“Watching the show and seeing my sisters’ reactions, I didn’t like it, only because I found that the things that I was saying to them was not helpful to them,” she said.
Towanda Braxton always calls out her little sister’s behavior and bases it upon Tamar being spoiled.



Party Harty: Chris Brown PARTIES With Friends In L.A. + Rihanna Prances Around NYC In Pink Night Gown + Draya HOSTS All White Party In Hollywood
After shopping with friends on Melrose Avenue, Chris Brown and his friends hit up Emerson nightclub in Hollywood. Rumors have started circulating yet again about another break-up between the “Loyal” singer and his main chick Karrueche.

Since Breezy was released from jail last month, Kae has been right by his side. But it seems they may have called it quits…or possibly just going through a big argument. Reports say a rift was caused after Chris posted a booty shot of KT on Instagram (we grabbed a shot on IG) and the couple went as far as erasing all pictures of one another on their respective Instagram accounts. Sighs...

But we know how Chris & Kae do. One minute they’re “broken up” and the next, it’s all hugs, kisses & I love you’s. So we shall see...
And in NYC...
Rihanna was prancing around New York City in a pink nightgown and sneakers.  She went out in this before hitting the studio.
Guess Rih is really going for comfort in and out of the bed. Gotta love her.
And back in L.A.....
Draya hit the L.A. streets and made her way to Supperclub for hosting duties at the club’s annual all white party.
The “BBW LA” star kept it sexy in a white curve-hugging mini dress as she made her way inside with her friends.
Draya's co-star Malaysia also came along to party, pouring up some Ciroc to get the party started.
There are rumors that Draya and her boyfriend/Dallas Cowboys baller Orlando Scandrick have called it quits. She took to her Instagram, posting quotes about being single and staying single until someone comes into your life to make it better.
Of course, she took the posts down and then semi-responded with a post which read, “I read the blogs just like you and get the same reaction..like ‘really??...wow I didn’t know any of that stuff about myself’ Everything u read isn't the truth. And we all know, a publicity stunt isn't needed for ratings. #haveaniceday”

We have our thoughts...

Nyjah‘s fears became her reality when she accidentally sent a new picture of herself to her dad.
Naturally, her dad flipped out. For retweets and brief Internet fame whatever reason, Nyjah decided to share what happened next with her followers.

It started with:

4,190 retweets later, hopefully she now knows that she can’t. She shared a screenshot of the original message as well as her dad’s initial reaction.

Nyjah tried to sleep it off, but the following morning her Dad let her know that since she wasn’t answering the phone that he was going to stop by.
He kept his word, and she captured their confrontation on video.

New Couple Alert: Miley Cyrus Secretly Dating Producer ‘Mike Will Made It’
This falls into our Worst Secret Ever category.It seems that Miley Cyrus has landed herself a new man and folk are now beginning to spill the beans. The 23-year-old child star turned singer has fallen head over hills for music producer, Mike Will Made-It (real name Michael Len Williams II). If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s been connected with Miley for quite some time. In fact he’s the album producer for Bangerz.

[BTW, Mike is responsible for hits like "Mercy" by GOOD Music, "No Lie" by 2 Chainz, "Bandz a Make Her Dance" by Juicy J, "Pour It Up" by Rihanna, "Love Me" by Lil Wayne, "Body Party" by Ciara, etc.].
According to US Weekly, a source has confirmed that they’ve been dating for nine months. A source shares:
"Everybody in her circle knows they’ve been together this whole time."

Miley’s mother, Tish, also is a fan of her new boo. The insider added:
"Tish says he’s part of the family."
Prior to Mike, the “Wrecking Ball” singer was engaged to Liam Hemsworth. We love love, so good for them!



Matthew Knowles’ ALLEGED Second Baby's Mama Was An ACQUAINTANCE Of Solange, or is she?
With all of the drama surrounding Matthew Knowles and the first woman who claimed he fathered her child, the former Destiny’s Child manager is now being accused yet again of fathering another child (a girl) with a 30-year-old Houston woman.
We told you the mother of his 4-year-old alleged daughter is named TaQoya Branscomb. She’s a 30-year-old “lingerie model” turned realtor who just so happens to have known Matthew’s daughter, Solange. According to TMZ, TaQoya and Solange (above) hit up nightclubs and bars together in Houston on several occasions. They allegedly met through a stylist in 2008.

To make matters worse, Matthew allegedly knew Solange was hanging out with TaQoya! Solo never had a clue of what was going on behind her back. Sighs… However, Solange's reps tell TMZ Solange and Taquoya Branscomb are not friends, do not know each other and the picture floating around is just a random fan photo.
TaQoya’s daughter was born in 2010, which is the same year Tina Knowles filed for divorce. Now TaQoya wants Papa Knowles to take a DNA test. She’s also requesting child support and money for her attorney fees.
Discuss amongst yourselves...we have no words.



Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin Sentenced to 10 Years
Judgment day has come for former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin.
Nagin was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In addition, U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan also ordered Nagin to pay $84,000 in restitution.
The sentence was less than the recommended 15 years, but Judge Ginger Berrigan of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana told the court that the evidence failed to show that Mr. Nagin had organized or had been a leader of a corruption scheme.

“Mr. Nagin claimed a much, much smaller share of the profits of the crime than any other member of the group,” Judge Berrigan said, referring to the businessmen who profited from the scheme. The judge said that Mr. Nagin’s leadership was much needed after Hurricane Katrina but that it had also been lagging.
“What Ray Nagin did was sell his office over and over again,” lead prosecutor Matt Coman said after the sentencing. “The damage that C. Ray Nagin inflicted on this community … is incalculable.”

Nagin will report to a minimum security prison in September.
As we reported back in February, Nagin, 58, was convicted of accepting more than $500,000 worth of bribes and free trips from contractors in exchange for helping them clinch millions of dollars in city work when he was mayor of New Orleans, both pre- and post-Hurricane Katrina.
He was found guilty of 20 out of 21 counts in the indictment. Nagin, a Democrat who was mayor for two terms from 2002 to 2010, denied he took any bribes.



Stacey Dash Suggests Kanye West Should Try Getting Raped in Prison
Former Clueless star and current Fox News contributor Stacey Dash slammed former friend Kanye West over his recent remarks during a concert in London, where ‘Ye compared being followed by paparazzi to rape.

“For Kanye to say ‘rape,’ maybe he needs to spend some time on Rikers Island,” Dash said, referencing the New York City jail complex during a chat on Fox News’Outnumbered program. “Go to Rikers for a little while and then he’ll know what rape is,” she said. “I don’t get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job.”
That’s all she said about the incident on air, but later she retweeted an article on Twitter titled “Kanye West Should Try Getting Raped in Prison,” along with tweets from users discussing their thoughts on her comments.
If you missed the Kanye rant that sparked this whole thing, it happened during his 20-minute rant at the Wireless Festival where he talked about needing time off from the paparazzi and compared it to being raped.

He said:
“I want to bring my family to the movies without 30 motherf–kers following me. Everybody here, they like sex right? Sex is great when you and your partner are like, ‘Hey, this is what we both want to do’. But if one of those people don’t want to do that, what is that called? That’s called rape. That is called violation.

“So if I walk around and say, ‘Look sir, I’m not feeling so good today, I need some space, can you please not f–k with me today?’ I need cut-off space, not violation.”

Maybe that wasn’t the best analogy.
We guess it’s safe to say that Stacey won’t be appearing in any more Kanye West videos.



Eva Mendes Pregnant, Expecting First Child with Ryan Gosling

Kenya Moore Throws Prayers at Apollo
*Apollo Nida’s eight-year prison sentence fraud and identity theft may have given Kenya Moore a license to gloat, but the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is reacting in a different way.
Taking to Twitter to weigh in on the sentence, Moore extended prayers to Nida and his wife Phaedra’s family.
 “You don’t have to lie, cheat or steal to be relevant at the expense of others,” Moore wrote in a tweet that she later took down from her page. “The real losers are innocent children. May God bless them.”



Thug Life: Chris Brown Reps His Gang Affiliation w/ the Bloods on Instagram
Chris Brown hasn’t been out of jail a month and he’s already back to his old ways.
After a almost year’s worth of rehab and jail time, since being a free man we’ve seen Chris get carried out of the club completely wasted, we’ve seen Chris smoking something, and now it appears he’s back to repping his affiliation with the Bloods.

Chris posted a random photo of his shoes to Instagram, but it’s the caption that has everyone concerned.
He captioned the above photo:
“It’s bool! I stand on my own two feet when life gets brazy.”

For those not well-versed in gang language, The Bloods often replace the letter ‘C’ at he beginning of words with the letter ‘B’.
The photo was quickly deleted, but not before fans were able to get a screencap.
Not only that, but the post comes just a few days after Chris was spotted throwing up gang signs in the club. Oh, and let us not forget about his homage to Piru from back when he was in Hawaii.
Maybe this is why he and Karrueche split…Do you think Chris is really ’bout that life?



Angela Simmons FLAUNTS Her Bikini Bod On The Beach In Barbados
Ahh the good life. Trekking it to a beautiful island with breath-taking beaches to sun bathe all day and take in the world’s natural beauty….doesn’t get any better.

Fitness fanatic Angela Simmons did just that. Instead of making her way into an office like most people had to do this week, she made her way to the alluring beaches of Barbados and is showing off all of the hard work she puts in...at the gym. She kept calm practicing a little yoga on the beach and cooled off in the pretty blue waters.
Angela is currently working on a new fitness project with fitness guru Jeanette Jenkins and her personal trainer. Not sure exactly what she has up her sleeve, but time will tell.
Clearly, whatever her trainer has her doing is definitely paying off.
Fun times.  Looking fab Angela!



Mary J. Blige To Record New Album 'The London Sessions'
Mary J. Blige is headed across the pond for her new project. After teaming with British staples Sam Smith and Disclosure, the Queen of R&B is working with their collaborator Naughty Boy for her upcoming album, reportedly titled The London Sessions, according to Hits Daily Double.
Naughty Boy is no stranger to working with powerhouse vocalists as he wrote and produced for Emeli Sande and appeared on her 2013 LP Our Version Of Events. He’s also worked with Fantasia ("Side Effects Of You") and Rihanna ("Half Of Me").
The soul sanger has been making her rounds. She's clocked in the Think Like A Man Too soundtrack with "Suitcase" while her 2013 holiday album A Mary Christmas was certified gold by the RIAA with sales.



Conflicting Reports on Carmelo Anthony Re-Signing With the Knicks
*The New York Daily News is reporting that Carmelo Anthony has decided to stay with the New York Knicks, but ESPN and other outlets are quoting his agent Leon Rose, who says his client “hasn’t made a decision yet” as of Wednesday afternoon.
“No decision yet,” another source told ESPN. “Still up in air.”
Newsday reported that New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher hadn’t been told that Anthony had decided to re-sign with the team, despite the Daily News report saying he had.

Sources told ESPN on Wednesday that a number of rival teams increasingly believe that Anthony was holding off on announcing any decision about his future until LeBron James revealed where he’ll be playing next season.
Sources said that Anthony — whose decision was widely expected before a resolution to James’ situation when free agency began — has kept the Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and other suitors waiting at least in part to see where James goes and whether there would be any option to join his close friend.
Sources said earlier this week that the Knicks thought they’d know by Monday if Anthony was prepared to commit to new team president Phil Jackson for the long term or sign with the Lakers instead. The Knicks can offer Anthony a five-year maximum deal valued at $129 million, with the Lakers’ max offer topping out at $96 million over four years.

Anthony has gone as silent as James with free agency now more than a week old, sparking the belief that he’s waiting to see if there is a viable opportunity for the two stars to team up.
“He wants to see what LeBron does,” one source with knowledge of Anthony’s thinking told ESPN. “But he can’t wait forever.”

The Knicks have tried to maintain their long-held confidence that Anthony will stay in New York. Anthony held meetings last week with Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers before granting last word to the Knicks on his interview tour.
