Rihanna gets SHARKALICIOUS for Harper’s Bazaar!
As she gears up for the release of her 8th studio album, "FourFiveSeconds" singer Rihanna is swimming with sharks. Well, she says only sharks swim with sharks. So she's just slaying photoshoots with sharks in them. This past December, chick made her way to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa and did umpteen outfit changes and dives inside a tank with three live sand tiger sharks.
Then this happened, all while rocking swimsuits by Gottex, Burberry, Mugler and Chanel:
On swimming with the sharks of life
I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks … sharks swim with sharks.
On whether Jaws scared her or thrilled her
Both! It freaked me out because I was a beach baby, so every time a new Jaws came out I would take months off from the beach or just sit on the sand. If I happened to get in the water, my dad would hum the theme music, and I was right back out of it. But that was really my fault because I was obsessed with Jaws. Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.
On her tough skin attitude
This skin has been developing since my first day at school. It didn't happen after fame; I couldn't survive fame if I didn't already have it. So sometimes the toughest thing in life is to be vulnerable. I'm not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they're going through. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing, but it's the truth.
On how she always picks red carpet winners
The way I dress depends on how I feel. I never have to psych myself up. Usually it just feels like it works.
My favorite red-carpet looks are usually the ones I get to help design: the Adam Selman Swarovski crystal dress at the CFDAs, the Stella McCartney all-white dress at the Met Gala, and the Adam Selman white jersey dress from the VMAs. But the red Azzedine Alaïa at the Grammys is also one of my favorites.
On whose style she would steal
Zac Posen and his sick custom suits … and the hair.
On how much maintenance it takes to keep up her image
At times a lot of maintenance, and at times none. I have a job that requires quite a lot of glam, and I have a great team that helps me with that. But sometimes, like when I'm in the studio or on vacation, there's little to no maintenance.
On why she returned to Instagram
I … like … pictures! And that's the bottom line.
On her guilty pleasure
Reality TV. I can't get enough of it.
On having that body AND eating pasta everyday
You mean how I got my cellulite?
Get her full interview HERE.
Harper's Bazaar's March 2015 issue is available on newsstands February 17.
If you attend a Mariah Carey show, You can come but your cell phone can’t!
Mariah Carey got caught looking crazy after video surfaced of her lip sync badly at a performance in Jamaica.
Now MiMi is taking precautions to make sure she never gets caught again…According to Naughty Gossip
After all the lip syncing videos of Mariah Carey surfaced the diva has demands – “no more cell phones are allowed at my concerts.”
“Mariah wants to hide the evidence but doesn’t understand how difficult it is to get everyone to hand over their phones,” a source tells NAUGHTY GOSSIP. “She is demanding NO phones at her Vegas show, or she will not perform.”
Lord have mercy. I’m sure Vegas is now questioning the residency she’s about to do this year!
HUH? Young Thug Disses Jay Z (Interview)
In a recent interview with GQ the Atlanta rapper seemed to take aim at “old head” Jay Z during a recent interview and even went so far as to say he would never buy a Hov album!
GQ interviewed Young Thug for their Legacy Project, check out the Q&A where he starts to imply that Jay Z is too old to be rapping or relatable:
GQ: Are you a music lifer?
Young Thug: Yeah, I’ma be here forever. I don’t want to rap forever. But I want to be rich forever.
Why not rap forever?
I don’t want to be 50 years old and rapping, man. I’m pretty sure nobody wants to do that. I’m pretty sure Jay Z don’t wanna rap right now.
Why is it such a young man’s game?
If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain’t gonna be doing what he’s doing.
Well Jay Z is a successful entrepreneur these days. So what do you want to be a THUG?
Wiz Khalifa calls Amber Rose ‘a foul creature’ on Twitter over their son
Amber Rose has been everywhere lately. Her Instagram page tells a scandalous tale of constant champagne parties and twerking in bikinis. Much of this image could be by design, or maybe Amber’s turned into a huge party animal since her divorce from Wiz Khalifa. She could have been a party animal all along, but their marriage was always framed around pot-smoking jokes involving Wiz. Their union only lasted a year, but the after effects will last much longer.
I had a feeling things would get ugly. Wiz already shaded Amber when she filed divorce papers. He was all happy to be free and not have to worry about his wife interrupting his “twin” parties. Several months later, Wiz is popping off on Twitter again. This time, he’s upset about something involving their 1-year-old son, Sebastian:
(1) a woman who would do something to a kid to spite that kids father is a foul creature.
(2) Seen my boy. All is well.
(3) That’s pretty much the only thing that can spin my universe out of control.
(4) as long as he’s playing and smiling i’m cool. can’t be pissed when i see that handsome face.
(5) i tell him everyday that this is all his.
[From Wiz Khalifa on Twitter]
We don’t know what happened to set Wiz off. He could be acting like a drama king, or perhaps Amber wouldn’t let Wiz see their son. Maybe he was obliterated and shouldn’t have been around Sebastian. Or Amber could be acting like a pill to spite Wiz. When they divorced, Amber made a big deal of her life revolving around Sebastian. But her public image presents a woman on the party scene. Honestly, Amber and Wiz both seem like messes. I hope Sebastian has some positive role models somewhere.

WERK! Cookie is a part of the NOH8 Campaign!
Taraji P. Henson POSES For The "NOH8" . Taraji P. Henson (whom we LOVE as Cookie Lyon) adds her name and likeness to the growing list of celebs taking a stand with the N0H8 campaign. "NOH8", a non-profit organization that promotes marriage, gender and human equality, has linked with the cast of "Empire" to bring awareness to the rights of the LGBT community and to end homophobia.
During a recent talk with VOGUE Magazine, Taraji opened up about playing Cookie and her relationship with Jamal, her gay son.
VOGUE: Your character’s relationship with her gay son, Jamal, is really beautiful. When Cookie defends him so passionately from his rejecting dad, where did those emotions come from?
TARAJI: Once a mother; always a mother. I’m a mother in real life, so I don’t have to act. When it’s time to protect our child, as parents, we feel our kid’s pain harder than they do. I tried to explain that to my son. The closest he came to understanding was through his relationship with our dog. He said, I feel that way about Willy. We carry them for nine months. I could only imagine having a child that a father rejects.
I feel like Lucious rejects him out of fear. When he puts Jamal in the trash can, he wanted to throw him away before the world threw him away. He wanted to hide his son from everyone—the ugliness of being a black gay male to the world. Fear will do anything, and Cookie understands the pain on both sides. Cookie is never going to hate her child for being who he is, but she fears for his life, too, because he’s gay and black. It’s deep.

Is Kelly Price Being Insensitive to Bobbi Kristina by celebrating For The Love of R&B?
The producer responsible for the annual pre-Grammy party where Whitney Houston last performed before her tragic death three years ago is accusing R&B singer Kelly Price of being insensitive for not canceling the party this year out of respect for Bobbi Kristina and her family…
Promoter Jason Lee blasts Kelly Price in a lengthy diatribe in Instagram.
Jason writes,
In 2012 I was honored to have produced the event that has notably become the final performance and appearance of the late and great Whitney Houston. Hosting Whitney and her daughter Bobbi Kristina was such an amazing honor that I decided to keep the legacy of Whitney alive during the Grammy's in an honor that has delivered beyond my expectations.
With the current news of Bobbi Kristina, out of respect for the family, I decided to cancel this year's celebration - similar to how I felt Clive Davis should have done the night Whitney died.
It's been brought to my attention several times from celebrity and industry friends, sponsors, and fans that the platform, FOR THE LOVE OF R&B that I've spent a lot of time, energy, and my own money into has been hijacked AGAIN by Kelly Price. While I can understand that creativity and opportunities don't always come to folks the way they come to me, I would at least expect a successful songwriter like Kelly Price to know how inappropriate or tasteless it is to steal someone else's ideas and brand. It's evidenced in her naming the event, "2nd Annual For The Love Of R&B" when it's now the 4th Annual.... It's clear to me that there is no consideration for me, Whitney's legacy, or the hard work that has gone into preserving this platform but with the current crisis the family is in with Bobbi Kristina's health you'd think this mean girl would cancel the party. However since there will most likely be a red carpet to keep her name in the news, Kelly Price, like Clive Davis will take a "the show must go on" attitude that delivers nothing less than the exploitation she's looking for.
While I wish Kelly and I could have maintained a partnership to support R&B music where the throwback generation could be fused with the new aged more modern sound of this important generation, I didn't think that she would stoop this low.
Kelly Price is a bully. Period. And if you ever saw her on R&B Divas just know that the person you saw is the same person who is having a party this year to "honor Whitney" while her daughter is fighting for her life.
DISGUSTING.
NOTE: THIS EVENT BEING HELD THIS YEAR TITLED FOR THE LOVE OF R&B IS NOT MY PARTY.
What do you think?
Big Boy Left His “Neighborhood
If you turned on the radio this morning and expected to hear Big Boy, you were sadly mistaken. The Radio DJ was no where to be seen heard and in his place, just music. It seems as though Big Boy has left his own “neighborhood”.
Apparently, Big Boy was making a cool $1.45 million (plus bonuses and a car) with Emmis, the communications group that ran “Big Boy’s Neighborhood”. Well his contract was up and he decided the $3.5 million (plus perks and use of a private jet) that iHeartMedia was offering was even cooler, so he jumped ship and headed over top the competition.
Unfortunately, Emmis is saying not. so. fast! They claim their contract with Big Boy says they can match a competitor’s offer and keep him and that’s what they did, but the music man left anyway. Emmis is now suing asking a judge to prevent Big Boy from bailing, plus they also want $5 million!

Jazmine Sullivan OPENS UP About Domestic Violence And What She KNOWS About Love
R&B lovers exhaled when Jazmine Sullivan dropped her brand new album, Reality Show. a few days ago, and it promptly landed at the No. 1 spot on Billboard's R&B Albums (still currently No. 1), and No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
Now that she's ready to dive back into the business, she's talking to HelloBeautiful.com & StuffFlyPeopleLike.com and starring in their latest Digital Cover Shoot. Shot on location in NYC, Jazmine talks about taking a three-year hiatus between her beloved debut album, Fearless in 2008 and this year's Reality Show, as well as how she survived an abusive relationship and what she's leaned about love. Check the highlights:
On The Infamous Tweet that announced her leaving the Music Industry
“I told everybody, including my Mom, Dad and management and everything all via Twitter. Everybody was mad at me. [They were] like if you were going to stop at least you could’ve called.”
Why she left The Music Industry
“A lot of people think that the pressure of the industry and--you know--my weight and everything, kind of made me stop… and me feeling like I was getting the short end of the stick. But that was not it at all. That had a little bit to do with it but a lot of it was that I was dealing with my own mess in my own life, personally, and it all just happened to be too much and I had to stop.”
On Surviving Domestic Abuse
“For a long time, I kind of kept away from everybody. When you know you’re not right, and you know you’re not doing something right, you try to stay away from people who will tell you that.”
“It took me a long time to feel comfortable enough to say it. I went through a lot of guilt myself, like, should I expose this? Am I being petty by talking about it? It’s a lot of feelings that women have in regards to this. But, [I realized] this can possibly help somebody to see that someone that they look up to, or listen to, or are a fan of have actually been through it, and not only have I been through it, but I came out of it. I just felt like it’s a part of my story so why not share it? I’m the face of my own situation. I don’t know if I can be the face for everybody, but I definitely want to share my story the way I’ve experienced it and I hope people can learn from it like I have.”
On Love
“I’m literally figuring things out day by day just like everyone else. People think I know about love more than I actually do. I love love and I’m always on a quest to figure out men and how relationships work and why they don’t work and stuff like that. But I don’t know shit.”
Jazmine and her Reality Show are hitting the road March 1

Gay Beer Pong Rapist Found Guilty On 8 Counts Of Sexual Assault
Joey Poindexter, the Maryland man who was accused in 2013 of allegedly luring men to his home after beer pong tournaments and raping them, has been found guilty. Poindexter was found guilty on eight counts of sexual assault in a Montgomery County court Thursday.
Poindexter, who lived in the city of Gaithersburg, reportedly blended in at bars across the state during beer pong tournaments to find his victims. The 40-year-old was convicted last week of sexually assaulting a man he met in a College Park bar in 2013. The jury met early this morning to deliver its final verdict on the case after hearing other counts of Poindexter’s alleged assaults.
More from WTOP:
Jurors came back with the verdict Thursday morning. Joey Poindexter, 40, was found guilty of five counts of second-degree sex offense and three counts of third-degree sex offense. Theses charges are filed when an attacker makes threats, uses or displays a weapon or engages in sex acts with someone who is incapacitated.
Prosecutors said Poindexter made video recordings of himself attacking four unconscious, college-aged men at his home. He had met the men at beer pong events.
Police discovered the videos while investigating another assault. Poindexter was found guilty in that attack last week.
In that case, Poindexter was caught on tape telling the victim he had been raped.
He will be sentenced for both cases in March and could face up to life in prison.
Poindexter’s mode of operations was to cruise local bars and playing beer pong with men that he made targets. According to what investigators found on Poindexter’s cellphone, it appears he had around 10 victims over the course of a decade.
Poindexter’s youngest victim was and 18-year-old college student and was the last of his targets in October 2013.

Dr. Ben Carson Says Blame Measels Outbreak on Illegal Immigrants
*(Via MSN News) – Ben Carson says illegal immigrants are partly to blame for the measles outbreak.
Carson, a doctor considering a 2016 run for the White House, said it’s a fact that people are entering the country illegally without being screened for measles.
While U.S. citizens who don’t get vaccinated are also a factor in this year’s rising number of measles cases, he said it’s “a combination of non-compliance [with vaccine requirements] and introduction into our society of people who perhaps haven’t been well screened.”
Carson said he wasn’t trying to speak in code when he was asked by CNN host Chris Cuomo if he was turning the measles debate into an immigration debate.
“It’s not code and I’m not trying to make it into any particular argument, I’m stating what the facts are,” he replied. “The facts are that there are people in our country who have become lax in terms of their vigilance, getting their kids immunized, and we have people coming in who are not necessarily being properly screened. That’s not making it an issue, it’s stating facts.”
Carson was unable to point to an example of someone in the country illegally who had caused a problem by not being vaccinated.
