Kelly Rowland Debuts Son Titan Jewell On The Cover Of ESSENCE
Kelly Rowland, her husband Tim Weatherspoon, and their adorable son Titan Jewell (who looks like he’s smiling at his dad in the super cute snap) grace the cover of ESSENCE magazine’s April issue.
Inside, Kelly talks her journey to happiness; explaining that although there’s been some bumps along the way… she’s truly happy at this point in her life: “My road to my happiness hasn’t been an easy one,” she said. “It hasn’t been peachy all the time, but I am so, so happy… surrounded with so much love.”
Kelly and Tim were married in an intimate Costa Rican wedding last May, and welcomed their son in late 2014. “My priority is my husband first,” she shared while laughing. “That’s how the baby got there.”

Chris has PHUCKED up Karrueche Tran so BAD she now needs INYANLA to fix her Life!
Nope, it's not a joke. Or a spoof. Karrueche Tran is really about to get her life fixed by Iyanla Vanzant chile. And yes, they're talking about Chris' secret break baby situation, betrayal, and everything else. The timing of this is impeccable.
While this doesn't appear to be a regular "Fix My Life" episode, it instead seems to be a one off and exlusive sit down with Iyanla. Rihanna had hers with Oprah, so Kae said she's going to get hers with Iyanla. It airs next Saturday, March 28th at 8p/7c.
Kae tweeted, "its not fix my life. There's no bashing.. All positive."
Nelly Becomes First American to Perform in Northern Iraq
Nelly with Erbil governor Nawzad Hadi.
*Nelly performed at a charity concert in Northern Iraq for an annual soccer tournament in the city of Erbil hosted by the Rwanga Foundation.
According to Rwanga.org, the performance made history as Nelly is “the first American artist to perform in the city’s 8,000 year old history.”
Rumor has it Nelly was paid nicely for his appearance, but the performance was to raise money for the peshmerga, the Kurdish fighting force against ISIS.
Nelly’s agency didn’t comment on if he received any funds for his “sparsely attended” performance, according to Buzzfeed News.

That’s sweet Bey!
Might Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx be An Item?
*Are Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx friends with benefits?
OK, that’s an inartful way of asking/wondering if the two stars are dating? In fact, that’s the headline (Are Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx Dating?) and question from PEOPLE Magazine.
It’s not exactly a new question, either. There have been rumors that the two have been an item on the down low for quite some time.
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, multiple sources confirm the pair have been spending time together for well over a year – but it’s nothing serious.
“This is not some intense romance,” a source with knowledge of the situation tells PEOPLE. “Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn.”
Adds the source: “But contrary to those conclusions, they’re not about to run off and make some serious commitment.”
Adding to the talk, the actress, whose new drama – “Mania Days” – had its premiere at SXSW over the weekend, moved back to LA from NYC last August and bought a house back for her and 8-year-old daughter Suri, whose father is Tom Cruise.
An insider tells PEOPLE Holmes, 36, has been spotted visiting Foxx, 47, “often” at his nearby home and that “they spend hours together” at a time.
Uh Oh: Bobbi Kristina’s $250K 10-Carat Diamond Ring Given to Her By Her Mother is Reportedly Missing
Uh oh….According to a report from Radar Online, a 10-carat diamond ring Whitney Houston gave Bobbi Kristina has gone missing since Bobbi’s bathtub incident.
It’s the same $250,000 ring that Brown, 22, famously shared on Instagram as her “engagement ring” in 2012, when she announced she would marry Nick Gordon, the man who called the late singer “mom.”
Questions about the whereabouts of the stunning ring were raised last week, when Gordon asked his mother during their interview with Dr. Phil if she had “the ring.”
Michelle Gordon told her son she had it, and was keeping it in a safe place.
A Houston family representative later called Dr. Phil to ask for help in locating the ring, a source with knowledge of the call tells Radar. The Houston family rep declined to comment.
A source close to Gordon tells Radar that the ring his mother was referring to was a DIFFERENT diamond ring he bought for Brown last year — and not the much larger one once owned by Houston.
Fix it Jesus. We’ve all seen how unstable Nick Gordon is, so let’s just hope he has absolutely nothing to do with the ring’s disappearance.
Has anyone searched Pat?

Designer Launches Kid Wear with Answers to Injustice & Abuse
*San Diego, CA — African-American Designer, Owner and Creative Director of The Write Fit, LLC, Joshlyn Turner, launches The Write Fit Kids, “The World How We See It.”
The collection is stylish and fun with powerful statements like, “Be kind to me I am the future,” which speaks volumes to the abuse and ongoing injustice in the African-American community.
African-American Designer, and Owner and Creative Director of The Write Fit, LLC, Joshlyn Turner, launches The Write Fit Kids, “The World How We See It”.
The Write Fit Kids promotes positive self-image and inspires kids to be whatever they want in the world. The Write Fit Kids is a collection with purpose and meaning from a child’s perspective with sizes ranging from Infant (6 months) to Youth (X-Large) and is available on The Write Fit website at www.shopthewritefit.com
The Write Fit, LLC is an ingenious online apparel company for men and women specializing in graphic T-shirts that relates the lives of individuals around the world and launched on June 28, 2013. The T-shirts are uniquely separated into eccentric themes like: Soundtrack to Life, It’s a Man’s World, Love Me Write, Got Pride and Sweat Box.
“I created The Write Fit as a platform for creative expression through fashion. I use various inspirations like: life, love, thoughts and everyday situations to create the statements. When people wear The Write
Fit, I want them to feel like they are wearing life with a purpose”, said Joshlyn Turner. “I received so much positive feedback, especially from my African-American customers that I wanted to design items for the entire family to choose from; so I created The Write Fit Kids. The collection is extremely special to me because it highlights my sensitivity to the future of our children and what they will become in the world. I want kids to feel a sense of self-identity that is age appropriate, fun and fashionable”.
Joshlyn, who also holds the title of Youth Program Coordinator at a non-profit organization in San Diego, which offers a work readiness program for youth involved in the Juvenile Justice System, understands the struggles African-American children and youth are facing.
“I see the negative outlook they have on their future and the lack of motivation for education”, said Joshlyn Turner. According to the kidsdata.org website in 2013, 19.7 percent of African-American youth in California dropped out of high school. A report from the Office of the Attorney General in California asserted that a 10 percent increase in graduation would result in a 20 percent reduction in incarceration and assault rates.
Growing up in the urban streets of Southeast San Diego, Joshlyn witnessed those who dropped out of high school and fell victim to early pregnancy, drugs and incarceration. However, she refused to be a statistic. Joshlyn graduated from Hampton University and recently received her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Joshlyn and long time friend, and Spelman graduate, Roberta Moore created the TurnMoore Dreams Scholarship, given to students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher attending a Historically Black College or University. Joshlyn Turner stated, “I not only want to be a mentor, but a role model. I want our youth to see me actively working towards my goals and accomplishing them, so they’ll continue to work toward theirs”.
Local Barbershop Owner, Weldon E. Cook Jr. stated, “The Write Fit Kids collection is super different. I like the designs and the messages. Whenever my kids wear the clothing, people always ask where I got it, or that they love the messages too”.
The Write Fit Kids, “The World How We See It” is a collection that is fashion-forward and fun with meaningful messages from a child’s perspective. The apparel ranges in size from Infant (6 months) to Youth (X-Large) and is available on The Write Fit website at www.shopthewritefit.com

New Couple Alert?? Is Jordan Sparks Crushin’ On Sage The Gemini? [PICS]
Jordan Sparks posted some cute pics with a topless Sage The Gemini and one can only think; is something brewing here? Hmmm. Check out the pics below
But hold up…… Jordin recently addressed the rumors and she’s saying they’re just friends—for now anyway.
“I can’t take a picture with anybody! Listen, I’ve dated like five people this past week because it’s like anybody I take a picture with, all of a sudden we’re dating,” she told Hip Hollywood.
Jordin didn’t seem too bothered by the rumors though and went on to say that she understands why people are trying to pair her off.
“I am single so I guess people are going to speculate and talk.”
Interestingly, the 24-year-old says that she would be open to dating Sage. Maybe.
“He’s a great guy and he’s super talented. Hey, you know what? If you want to call me, maybe. Maybe, I might be open to that.”
We’re not sure how serious she is about being interested in Sage, but it wouldn’t be 100% shocking.He does seem to slightly favor her ex-boyfriend Jason Derulo.
Do you think Jordin and Sage would make a cute couple?
The Celebs Hit The INSURGENT NYC Premiere
The next installment of the Divergent trilogy, Insurgent, is upon us. The movie, based on the best selling novels by Veronica Roth, premieres this Friday and the stars from the film were front and center at the premiere.
Zoe Kravitz kept it super cute in this flirty and sparkly strapless cocktail dress with an extra dramatic lace attachment.
She caught up with her co-star Octavia Spencer.
Octavia almost missed the big event as her flight into the city yesterday was cancelled. But luckily, "Shameless" star Emmy Rossum -- who told the story this morning on "Live" -- was also on her flight. Emmy gave up her seat on the next flight to Octavia so she could make it in time!
"Empire" star Jussie Smollett showed up on the carpet and got in a few cute pics with Octavia.
Looking good Jussie!
Insurgent star Mekhi Phifer gave wife Reshelet Barnes a few kisses on the carpet.
And as the hottie reprises his role from the first film, he revealed today on "The Chew" that he's all about kicking ass and taking names this time around...on camera. So expect lots of action sequences.
Al Roker brought his kids Leila and Nicholas. These kids are gowing up fast!
And over at the after party at Guastavino's, Octavia and Zoe posed it up with their co-star Miles Teller and author Veronica Roth.
Nice!
