Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho – Open Casket At Public Viewing 

The body of former boxing champion Hector “Macho” Camacho lies in an open casket during his funeral in San Juan, PR, on Tuesday. 
The public viewing is being held at Centro de Recreacion in Santurce. A private mass was held yesterday for family and friends. 
According to his rep, Hector’s body will be flown to New York City for a private funeral and burial at his mother’s request. It’s unclear when the private funeral will be held.

As we reported, Camacho passed away on Saturday from injuries he sustained during a drive-by shooting last week….R.I.P Hector! 


Did Will Smith Tried To Pull Favors With President Obama To Keep T.I. Out Of Jail?

When T.I. returned to prison in 2010 for violating the terms of his probation, he effectively threw a wrench in his career. The Atlanta-based rapper had a roster of celebrities supporting him through his trials, including Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, and Nelly. But the most supportive friend was likely Will Smith, who reportedly attempted to use his political connections to get T.I. released. “Will actually went as far as getting in touch with [attorney general] Eric Holder and the Obama administration trying to see if we could get some kind of release. He was very politely told that was not possible,” T.I. laughed. 
He added, “He was in deep discussions about it. And he’s been a huge contributor to the administration, and I mean not just in finances, I’m talking about time and other kinds of efforts, so it ain’t like his words were falling on deaf ears.” 
T.I. isn’t upset that Will Smith couldn’t score him a break: “I didn’t even expect no help. I didn’t expect nobody to help me. I knew I made my bed and I knew I had to lay in it.” 
before burying him in concrete'Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore charged with the murder of Abraham Shakespeare 
The lottery winner's body was found under a slab of concrete in 2009. Detectives obtained CCTV of her buying plastic sheeting and duct tape 


Woman 'befriended $30million lottery winner, swindled him out of his money and then murdered him 

Site of burial was owned by Moore's ex-boyfriend, detectives say 
A woman accused of befriending a $30million lottery winner, swindling him of his cash and killing him began her trial for murder today. 
Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore, 40, allegedly became close to Florida lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare by claiming she was writing a book about him. 
His body was found under a concrete slab behind a home detectives say was owned by Moore's ex-boyfriend in Hillsborough County. He had been shot twice.

Moore is accused of killing Shakespeare, of Polk County, in April 2009. He won a $30million lottery jackpot in 2006. 
Hillsborough Sheriff David Gee alleges she tried to dodge suspicion by using Shakespeare's phone to send family members text messages saying he was OK and also writing letters pretending to be him, according to 10 News. 
Moore denies the murder and says she took over Shakespeare's assets, about $3.5million and a mansion, authorities say, so he could get away from people pestering him for money. 
'The money was like a curse to him. And now it's become a curse to me,' Moore told reporters in 2010. 'God knows I would never take another human being's life.' 
But investigators claim Moore turned to a man called Greg Smith to cover up the crime. 
He was already signed up as a sheriff's informant and was working with detectives to get close to her and gather information. 
Sheriff Gee allege Moore trusted Greg Smith so much that she asked him for help to find a prisoner willing to take the blame for killing Shakespeare in exchange for $50,000. 
The trial is expected to last two weeks. A pool of 100 prospective jurors was screened yesterday. 
10 News reported that more than half raised their hand when asked if they were familiar with the case and will now each have to be quizzed on the extent of their knowledge of the case. 
 Mr. Shakespeare collected his massive lottery check with his family by his side in 2006 
 Ms Moore used these leggy photos of herself on social media websites 

After his win Shakespeare, a 43-year-old truck driver, won a court challenge from a fellow trucker who accused him of snatching the winning ticket out of his wallet while the two were delivering meat to Miami restaurants. 
Shakespeare's family reported him missing in November 2009, telling the Polk County sheriff's office they hadn't seen him since April. 
Speaking at the time, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said when their investigation began they had hoped to find Shakespeare alive. 
When the body was found, his brother Robert Brown was quoted by 10 News as saying: 'I'm missing my little brother, what ain't gonna be back no more. 
'Dead and gone, and everything. He ain't coming back.'

BRAVO Announces 3 New Reality TV Shows: ‘Taking Atlanta’, ‘Married to Medicine’ + ‘Don’t Be Tardy’

Hold onto your reality TV seats, Bravo has snagged three brand, spankin’ new reality shows–all out of ATLANTA. To date, the popular southern city has launched popular shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,and R&B Divas, but there’s plenty more from where that came from. Compliments of AJC, we’ve got the skinny on the three new shows titled: ‘Don’t Be Tardy,’ ‘Married to    Medicine’ and ‘Taking Atlanta’. Here’s the scoop on each: À        ‘Don’t Be Tardy for the Party’: Duh, we already know what this one’s about and after we learned that Kim Zolciak’s leaving RHOA, it makes perfect sense. The show will follow Kim’s professional and family/home life. And here’s the releases description: 
·        “Season two follows Kim and Kroy Biermann in the next phase of their marriage, which involves the demands of their ever-growing family, purchasing their dream house, and a possible adoption. The pressure is on as Kim tries to resolve extended family issues and manage the renovation of their house all while juggling being a loving mother, a caring wife and staying in the limelight.” 
À        ‘Married to Medicine’ appears to be a show about educated, rich and affluent women who are connected to the lucrative world of medicine. Peep an excerpt of the release: 
·        “Married to Medicine” follows a group of successful and educated women, including doctors and wives of doctors, who are connected to the world of medicine in Atlanta. Whether delivering babies in Louboutins or rushing off to galas in Buckhead, these women do everything with style, drama, and of course, southern flair. 
À        ‘Taking Atlanta’ seems to be a younger version of RHOA, as the cast/characters work in industries like entertainment, real estate, etc. The release describes: 
·        “Taking Atlanta” tracks the city’s next-generation movers and shakers as they make their mark in the glamorous arenas of fashion, music, hospitality and real estate while enjoying the city’s sizzling social scene and balancing the demands of their tumultuous family situations.” 

If you’d like to snag a role, rumor has it that there’s still time. Production has not yet begun and casting is under-wraps. Anywho, what are your thoughts on the newest reality TV shows? Sound interesting or an over-saturation of the ATL reality market?

Kanye Takes Kim to Visit His Mother's Grave

Kanye West took Kim Kardashian to his mother's grave site on the fifth anniversary of her death. 

Five years after his mother’s tragic death,Kanye West feels that he finally has a woman in his life worth bringing to her grave. 
After spending Thanksgiving with the Kardashian clan, the rapper brought Kim Kardashian back to his mother's resting place in Oklahoma City to spend a meaningful moment at her graveside and to meet his family, almost exactly five years after she was buried, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive details. 
"Kanye brought Kim to Oklahoma City the day after Thanksgiving to pay respects to his mother and to meet his mother's side of the family," a source exclusively tellsRadarOnline.com. 
"This was her first time meeting them." 
The high-profile couple managed to go undercover for the most part on their brief visit to the Midwest, flying out of LAX on Friday and jetting out of Oklahoma City on Saturday, Radar has confirmed from multiple sources. 
"This was a really monumental moment for Kanye because he adored his mother," another source tellsRadar. 
"He wouldn't have brought Kim there unless he was completely in love with her." 
Donda West, Kanye's beloved mother, passed away at the age of 58 in November 2007 due to complications from plastic surgery procedures, and was buried in her hometown later in the month. 


Royce Reed BITES BACK At HATERS, Says CUSTODY BATTLE Is About The BEST For Braylon 

Royce Reed has taken to Twitter to respond to people with negative talk about her decision to ask a judge to make Dwight Howard pay her legal bills.  Find out what she said. 

We told you previously that Royce Reed wants a judge to make Dwight Howard pay for her portion of their custody battle....and some people felt some kind of way about that.  So with folks bashing Royce on Twitter and across the blogs, she responded with a tweet and post saying, 
"We will never struggle... Period! Braylon will always have the best! That's what I fight for!" 
While Royce is saying she needs money to fight for what's best for her son Braylon, it seems that most folks are jumping on the "gold-digger" bandwagon when this is not about getting more child support (at least not this part).  Royce is fighting tooth and nail for full custody....because Dwight has filed for full custody for himself.  And no mother wants her child taken from her. 

And we see that Usher and his money allowed him to get full custody in his battle with Tameka Raymond...so Royce does have reason to be concerned. 

We'll keep you posted on the judge's decision.....

Rita Ora Bags Rihanna's Fast and Furious 6 Role

It's Rihanna out and Rita Ora in for The Fast and the Furious 6. 
In April it was reported that Rihanna was gearing up to play a villainous role in the upcoming blockbuster The Fast and the Furious 6. 
But it has now been revealed that Rita Ora has been cast for the part over the Diamonds singer. 
Rita, who celebrates her 22nd birthday Monday, apparently impressed during castings outshining the 24-year-old Rihanna. 
According to The Sun, Rihanna's hectic schedule clashed with filming commitments which led to the decision to take on Rita. 
A source told the newspaper: 'Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship. But schedules didn’t work out and Rita really shone during castings. 
The Hot Right Now singer, who has previous acting experience proved to be a big hit with the filmmakers, as the source added: 'They loved her look and her attitude.' 


Mariah Carey Performs for the lighting of The Rockerfeller Christmas Tree! 

It's been nearly two decades since she released her holiday hit All I Want for Christmas Is You. 
And Mariah Carey on Tuesday night proved just how enduring the track has been with festive fans as she performed at New York City's Rockefeller Center for the annual tree lighting ceremony. 

Below the 80ft tall Norway Spruce which will be lit on Wednesday night, and with Santa Claus by her side, Mariah belted out the track - and gave fans an eyeful of her ample cleavage while prancing around the stage in a low-cut red and silver dress. 

Here’s  video: 

 

The 42-year-old star took to Twitter before her taped performance. 'Walking to the stage to perform at Rock center. Let the festivities begin! Thx 2 all the lambs who are braving the temps here! LYM!!!' she wrote her eight million-plus followers. 
Temperatures fell into the 30s in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night. 
And while Mariah acknowledged she would be performing in the bitter cold, she wasn't detoured from slipping into a frilly dress. 
Still there wasn't a hint of a shiver from the star, who daintily held her mic in hand with a pair of opera length red satin gloves to match her frock.

Mariah is among a host of stars performing at the 80th annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting celebration. 
CeeLo Green, Il Divo, Rod Stweart, Victoria Justice, Trace Adkins, Chris Mann and the world famous Radio City Rockettes are among the featured acts. 
Thousands gathered in the cold to watch Mariah's taping ahead of Wednesday night's main event. 

Bette Midler and Billy Crystal will also make special appearances at the two-hour event, televised by NBC on Wednesday night. 
The Rockefeller Christmas Tree was unveiled earlier this month in Rockefeller Center. 
Topped with a Swarovski Star comprised of 25,000 crystals and weighing 550lbs, the tree will now be lit daily from 5:30am to 11:30pm through January 7; 24 hours on Christmas day; and until 9pm on New Year's Eve. 


ANOTHER VH1 DIVAS & R&B DIVAS…SHAKEUP? 

Angie Stone & Sunshine Anderson ADDED To "R&B Divas," New ATL Shows Pop Up On BRAVO 

The streets are buzzing about big changes over at "R&B Divas" with two high-profile castmates leaving and two new divas set to take their place. "R&B Divas" turned out to be a surprise hit for TV One, but the show's season one cast-lineup wasn't exactly a hit with the executives or people surveyed about the show.  We told you earlier that Nicci Gilbert's likability wasn't very high among viewers so she got the axe, and now, sources are reporting that Faith Evans is also walking away from the show.  It's not for certain whether Faith is going away willingly...but she's not expected to be back. 

So who will be filling the void?  R&B veterans Sunshine Anderson ("Heard It All Before") and Angie Stone ("Brother") are expected to come on-board.  And since "R&B Divas" isn't necessarily built on scandals and arguments, it may be a good way to put the ladies music back on the map since we haven't heard much from either of them in a while.  I DO want some dish on Mathew Knowles (Sunshine's manager) and D'Angelo (Angie's baby daddy) though. 

As for now, Syleena Johnson, KeKe Wyatt and Monifah are expected to be back (though TV One has not confirmed). 


Kenan Thompson Has New Show In Development 

Kenan Thompson is about to have another go at having his own show. Kenan, who has been with the sketch comedy series, Saturday Night Live (SNL), since 2003, is attached to write, star in and executive produce the untitled comedy, which has received a script commitment from NBC. The single-camera comedy would star Kenan as Kenan Monroe, a guy who gives up his New York life and moves to his in-laws’ house in the suburbs, where he must contend with three generations of problems. SNL’s Lorne Michaels, will also executive produce through his Broadway Video banner and Universal Television, marking the second project he has set up this development season. 

Meanwhile, Kenan’s old partner in television, Kel Mitchell, said that these days Kenan keeps as much distance from him as possible. “The truth is Kenan does not want to be seen with me in any form of media, or even have my name mentioned around him.” 
Kel says he nearly reunited with Kenan for an interview with a popular magazine but Kenan pulled out at the last minute and he thinks it’s because — Kenan’s still trying to separate himself from his old co-star. 
But Kel’s not bitter, explaining, “I have not been upset about this. I respect his choice of wanting to make a name for himself solo.” 


Royal Shade: Prince Philip Shades Alicia Keys During Her Performance. She makes his ears feel like their on FIRE!

Alicia Keys might have a new album coming out, but she’s been making headlines lately for everything else other than her new music. Recently, Alicia Keys addressed the rumors that alleged that she had an affair with her now husband producer Swizz Beatz while he was married to Mashonda. In a recent interview with Jet Magazine, Alicia denied that she had ever had an affair with Swizz Beatz. She claimed that she and Swizz actually began dating after he and Mashonda had called it quits and had been over for months. However, the allegations weren’t invented by the gossip blogs. Mashonda shocked everyone a few years ago when she accused the singer for having an affair with Swizz Beatz while they were married. Both Mashonda and Alicia continue to go back and fourth in interviews, and Mashonda recently claimed again that she and Swizz were not separated when the alleged affair took place. Since then, the shade on Twitter has been pretty thick between Swizz and Mashonda. 

Well it looks like there’s someone new throwing some shade Alicia’s way. 
Alicia Keys recently performed at the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were in attendance. And according to reports, Prince Philip wasn’t too thrilled about her performance. Onlookers claim that while Alicia Keys sang, the prince stuck his fingers in his ears.
The London Evening Standard reports: 
In the 65 years since he married the Queen, Prince Philip has built a reputation for his caustic wit and politically incorrect gaffes. 
And he remained true to form at last night’s Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall. The Duke, 91, was seen putting his fingers in his ears during a song by American Alicia Keys, making clear what he thought of her. 
Teen favourites One Direction, Girls Aloud, Rod Stewart and Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh Butler and her dancing dog Pudsey were among the other acts who performed at the 100th variety show. 
But when asked after the show what his favourite act had been, he said: “All of them … but to be honest we’re both stone deaf.” 

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie will tie the knot soon 

The wedding of the century is still on, Brad Pitt said on Monday at the premiere of his new film, Killing them Softly in New York that the kids are pressuring him and the wedding is still on. 
 “I am getting more pressure from my kids, and it is something I want to do within their lifetime, but I also feel like the time has come,” 

“The time is nigh,” he added. “It’s soon. I got a good feeling about it.”

Nike Announces The Release Date Of The Yeezy 2 Sneakers

The sneaker craze has been in full effect for several years now with the release of retro Jordan’s, Limited edition Penny Hardaway Foamposites, and the first round of Kanye West signature shoe with Nike, the Air Yeezy 1. Today, Nike announced when thirsty sneaker freaks can get their hands on Mr. West’s newest kicks.

See detailed pics of the shoe and find out what all the fuss is about.

Says Nike:

Forging a new form of sport craftsmanship, the Nike Air Yeezy II blends classic Nike court breakthroughs with the performance and aesthetic demands of bringing hype to a crowd of thousands.

A primal, tactile approach to technology runs throughout every element of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Armored animalistic forms imbue the upper. Hand skived anaconda textured leather quarter panels are embellished with a debossed Vac-Tech Nike Swoosh. The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down.

Bringing the inspiration forward from the late 1980′s basketball foundation of the original Nike Air Yeezy, the II is built on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II tennis shoe outsole and celebrates iconic Nike Cross Training silhouettes with the addition of the molded forefoot strap.

There’s absolute function at the Air Yeezy II’s core. Unnecessary padding was eliminated, and the foot-hugging tongue and plush collar are both comfortable and breathable. Fit was essential to the design with the goal to make the shoe slimmer than the original by tailoring it to Kanye West’s foot. The collar was also lowered to allow for greater movement.

An obsessive approach to materials results in a luxurious mix of leather, rugged ballistic nylon, and soft nubuck. Concealed but opulent details reference ancient civilizations, including a loop strap with hieroglyphics that spell out ‘YZY.’ Each screw on lace aglet is obelisk shaped, and the anaconda texture is echoed on the eyelets and leather lace toggle that carries the Roman numeral ‘II.’

The Nike Air Yeezy II in the Platinum and the Black edition will release June 9th at select global retailers in limited numbers.
Hopefully no one goes to jail or loses their life behind these SHOES, but knowing these ninjas nowadays, we wouldn’t be surprised.

RUMOR CONTROL: Tyler Perry Says Bobbi Kristina DID NOT Have A MELTDOWN On Set

Tyler Perry is responding to reports that Bobbi Kristina stormed off the set of his "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" TBS show saying that it never happened. Get the deets inside and find out why he's saying, "LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE AND STOP THE LIES PLEASE!!!"

Folks have been spreading rumors that Bobbi Kristina had a meltdown on the set of "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" and now the director is defending her saying it NEVER happened. In fact, the show wrapped production a long time ago. He told his Facebook fans today,

I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of "For Better Or Worse". NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season.

After Whitney's funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into "For Better Or Worse". I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother's death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care.

Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or how it's going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you're smiling and happy and some days you’re so broken that you can't stop crying. So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time.

So please... PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.

IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULDN’T YOU WANT THAT?

-Tyler….Well....that sums that up.

New Couple Alert: Angela Simmons and Romeo Miller

Well I guess its ‘Goodbye Bow Wow’ and ‘Hello Romeo’.

Pastry co owner Angela Simmons and ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Romeo Miller were spotted out together while grabbing a bite to eat at a restaurant in West Hollywood. And this isn’t the first time that the rumored couple have been spotted out together. Last week, the two enjoyed dinner together while out with close friends at the Cheese Cake factory.

Strange enough, Romeo Miller is said to be responsible for hooking up Rita Ora with Rob Kardashian and Rob Kardashian was courting Angela Simmons at some point last year.

In other news, Angela Simmons looks stunning in her latest photo shoot for Haute Magazine. 

Nice!

Report: DJ AfroJack Dumps Paris Hilton

The realm of celebrity romance is a tricky place, and Paris Hilton has been sent packing by her boyfriend DJ AfroJack.

According to a report, the couple dated for six months before AfroJack decided he needed to regain his freedom. Hence, he dumped the “Simple Life” starlet.

An insider told press, "Afrojack had moved into Paris' Beverly Hills mansion earlier this year, and the two got very serious, very fast."

"Paris was really into him and admires the work he has done. Afrojack did a lot of the work on Paris' new album which will be released later this year. He took a lot of criticism for working with her, but he truly does believe that she has talent. Paris was smitten with him, but Afrojack just wanted to have fun and not be exclusive with anyone. He is on the road practically every day performing in clubs all over the world, and he just isn't ready to settle down, whereas Paris is."

As for her new album, "Paris has been working with Flo Rida, LMFAO and David Guetta, and the album should be released this summer," added the source.

"Paris hopes to embark on a European concert tour to promote the album, which will consist of house music. She knows she has a lot riding on this project because her last reality show was canceled and she needs to do something to re-invent herself. Paris is hoping to appeal to a broader fan base and would love to use the album as a platform for a possible project with MTV. Yes, Paris is a very successful businesswoman, and she is about to release her fifteenth fragrance, but that isn't enough for her. Paris craves the attention from the media and her fans and she is truly feeling the pressure to deliver on this, because she doesn't have any other television or movie projects lined up."

Ray J. Sued For Missing Apparel

Ray J continues to feel the affects of Whitney Houston’s death. This time in the wallet, however, as opposed to the heart. Here is the story: Stylist Marc Littlejohn had allegedly sued Ray J for not returning clothing items given to him to wear to a Grammy-related event on February 10th. The problem? Those items were supposedly left in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died and according to the lawsuit, have been missing since the day this singer passed away. Marc Littlejohn therefore was suing Ray J for the cost of the clothing ($2,880) and demanding either the cash amount or the duds themselves. But now Ray J’s rep say the mystery of the missing clothes has been solved.

Last night when one of Whitney Houston’s associates handed the clothes over to Ray J. Sources tell us the items were taken from Whitney’s room along with the rest of her belongings. We’re told Whit’s people couldn’t get in touch with Ray J because he changed his phone number. The pricey fabrics include two suits and one jacket.

Tia Mowry Covers VIBE Vixen Magazine

Tia Mowry Is Front And Center On This Month’s Vibe Vixen, Talks Being An Author, “The Game, and more.

Here’s what the actress had to share:

On the book: “I’ve always wanted to write. Actually in college that’s what I kind of excelled at. I loved just putting all my thoughts together and jotting them down and basically doing research and all that kind of stuff, and I always wanted to write books. You know how you always had a vision? Well writing a book was always my vision, I just didn’t know what kind of book I was going to write.”

On if her son Cree wanted to be in the show biz: “You know, it’s inevitable because his dad’s an actor, his mom’s an actress. I’m just telling you, I just looked at some pictures where we just did this photo shoot and he is just smiling and cheesing away in this picture [laughs], it’s great! So to deprive him of something that he really wants to do would just hurt my heart, but he has one ultimatum: he has to go to college, finish and have an education, then after that he can do whatever he wants.”

On Fan Reactions to Changes To “The Game”:

I basically agree with them. I do think the show is different and it’s taken a new turn, but it’s not a new show. It is more from a drama perspective now and these last few episodes have been amazing. It’s almost like you are watching a mini-movie, and for the fans that watched it from the beginning, they can’t adjust well to the difference, but new fans love it because it’s a real show. I have to appreciate that these characters are real and they come from a realistic perspective. We talk about topics that a lot of people don’t want to talk about.

On Where She see Herself Years From Now:

I want to be an entrepreneur especially in the baby world and with my sister. I want to build a brand from scratch and focus on it, whether it’s building a television show for positive women of color, movies and building a brand with my ‘mommy-hood.’ I would love to do more books and continue to come out with products that inspire women to be amazing moms and give them amazing advice. But I also love to act. I like to give myself a challenge. A lot of people didn’t think I could be this character on The Game coming from Sister Sister, so now I would like to even raise that bar and try to book a drama, whether that’s me being a doctor, lawyer or cop, so that’s my next thing that I definitely want to do. I want to continue to build my brand, continue to act and build my brand as a unit with my sister.

You'll Never See Stephanie Mills on Unsung

TV One's UnSung is where all your old school favorites go to spill the tea on why they never quite made it as far as they should have.

Stephanie Mills says 'unsung' is a label that doesn't apply to her...

Stephanie Mills says UnSung's producers have been begging her to let them profile her but she keeps refusing telling Huffington Post,
"I don't like that show... They have approached me quite a few times, but I [won't] do that show... I've always been very private and at 55 I don't want to open up my life to that... They've done Angela Winbush and they even wanted me to say something about her on that show, and I love Angela, we're sisters. But I had to tell her, 'I don't want to do that.' ... I'm not that girl... I don't want to get on these shows and open my life up; I don't think it's anyone's business... Let me sing, let me do my concerts, let me do music."

"I don't feel unsung... I feel like I've had a wonderful career. I've done wonderful things and met some many wonderful different people. So I don't feel like I'm unsung at all... They even called my agent and tried to offer me some kind of tour if I did the show, and I was like, 'I can't do it'... It [goes against] everything that I believe in."

Meagan Good Defends Her Vegas Burlesque

Before most weddings, the bride-to-be gathers up her friends for a special ‘let’s get this last official wild girls night in before I tie the knot’ type of party and actress Meagan Good is definitely no different. This past weekend, she opted to throw her bachelorette party in Vegas, complete with a burlesque dance with the PussyCat Dolls but her party didn’t come without criticism.

After photos hit the net, Meagan was slammed for her decision to do a Vegas dance being that she was marrying a pastor, however, she didn’t let it slide. She took to her twitter and responded:

Let’s get something straight … I wasn’t half naked last night … I was actually very covered up, not showing anymore than I show when I dress up to go to events .,,and let’s get something else straight .. I’m an actress ., there will be many things narrow minded people deem unholy or not 1st lady like … But this is not so..it’s about your relationship with God and your personal convictions …

If you see footage, you will see I was covered up having fun dancing and enjoying my self with my friends and family and absolutely not doing a striptease …smh people are ridiculous .. Can’t a girl enjoy her bachelorette party in peace?

I think it's safe to say it's over for Terrell Owens. After burning his way through the NFL and baby mamas Terrell just got kicked off an arena football team...

Terrell Owens signed with the Allen Wranglers back in February but after a recent no-show for a team event at a children's hospital the coaches and the front office decided they'd had enough of The T.O. Show.

In a statement to the media the team president cited Terrell's lack of commit on and off the field with their decision.

Terrell gives up his salary and stake in the franchise.

The "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" Folks Film At Pearl Bistro

Oh, we see how this show will be. ATL's LAHH cast filmed at Pearl Bistro nightclub (which many ATL folks tell us this signifies a very small budget) recently. Apparently they were all on hand to celebrate Scrappy's release of his mixtape, Full Metal Jacket 2. He also performed a track off his upcoming album (The Grustle) that features co-star Rasheeda called "Shawty Sprung." Oh joy.

The folks over at ATL Nightspots snapped these pics and video below:

Rapper Rasheeda and her girls kicked it.

Scrappy's mama, Mama D, just looks like she's about to give Jim Jones' mama Nancy a run for her money in the foolery department. Goodness.

So this is what Shay "Buckeey" Johnson has been up to since Flavor of Love days? Besides having a baby? Oh....

Feel like this whole party needs exfoliation...

Who's ready for the season to start? Bring on the foolywangery...

These chicks look BUSTED!

Dennis Rodman Sentenced To Community Service In Child Support Case

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman might soon find himself working with at-risk teens or cleaning up streets. The flamboyant former player known for his rebounding skills and wild, off-court behavior was sentenced Tuesday to 104 hours of community service after being found guilty last year of four counts of contempt for failing to pay child support. The ruling also placed Dennis, on three years of informal probation on the condition he keep up his child and spousal support payments. It was the latest development in a series of legal disputes that began in 2004, when Dennis’ wife at the time filed for divorce.

Orange County Superior Court Commissioner Barry Michaelson urged Dennis – who wore a black button down shirt and jeans to the family court hearing – to put his basketball skills to good use in his service. ”My suggestion is to use your talents as a motivator, as a fine athlete and as a fine person to assist others in need,” Michaelson said. Dennis still faces additional contempt charges and is accused of owing back child support in an amount that attorneys for Michelle Rodman, his ex-wife, say exceeds $800,000.

The towering Dennis, who sports face jewelry, said he would do whatever community service was required near his home in Florida, possibly working with children. ”It’s all about the kids,” Dennis said of the ex-couple’s two children, after the hearing. ”It does suck the fact that it had to come to this.” Dennis was found guilty by a judge of the four counts of contempt involving child support owed in 2009 and 2010.

Rihanna Has ‘Found Love’ With NBA Baller J.R. Smith From New York Knicks?

“We Found Love” singer Rihanna has found another bad boy, this time it’s with NBA baller J.R.Smith from the New York Knicks. Over the weekend they were seen together again. On Sunday, May 28, the singer and the New York Knicks’ star were spotted partying in Miami.According to New York Daily News, quoting a source, the two were “definitely hanging out” at LIV nightclub in the Fontainebleau Hotel.

They stayed until the early hours.
The news comes just days after Smith was arrested on Thursday, May 24, in Miami Beach on an outstanding bench warrant for driving without a valid license. The was released the next day. It looks like Smith is no stranger when it comes to law issues. In 2007, he served a month in jail for his reckless driving that claimed the life of his passenger and good friend, Andre Bell. Recently he was requested to pay $25,000 in fine by NBA for posting on Twitter a picture of a woman’s naked derriere.

Do you think of these two dating?

Warren Sapp to release book in August stories about Keyshawn Johnson, Trent Dilfer & Brad Culpepper

I will say this about Warren Sapp. He saw the flashing signs of what was to come and he got a plan in place QUICKLY! Can’t be mad at his hustle. Sapp has a book schedule to be released this August entitled, “Sapp Attack”.

Of course the always outspoken Sapp is pulling no punches so expect a few juicy behind the scenes tales:

Sapp shares his views on his coaches and teammates, telling it like he sees it. Sapp says he chose to play college football at Miami over Florida State in part because coach Bobby Bowden referred to one of his other players as a “fat ass.” Sapp says that his first NFL coach, Sam Wyche, tried to motivate “by making snide comments, by belittling people.” Sapp says that “Tony Dungy put the damn cake in the oven, and then Jon Gruden came in and put the icing on it.”

Sapp’s views on the men he played with include outing former Bucs defensive tackle Brad Culpepper for cheating. Sapp claims that Culpepper, now a lawyer and one of the many former players suing the NFL for concussions, used silicone to make it harder to be held. “Now that [Culpepper] also is retired, I’ll confess for him that he was one of the people who did that,” Sapp writes. “He practically bathed in silicone before a game. Trust me, if he had ever tried to hug his wife before a game, she would have slipped right out of his arms and gone straight up in the air.”

Other nuggets include his problems with former teammate, Keyshawn Johnson who he won a Super Bowl ring with

“Among the biggest problems we had on that 2003 team was Keyshawn Johnson,” Sapp said. “It wasn’t a big secret Keyshawn didn’t fit into our locker room: he came to us from a different football culture, and he never could make the adjustment. Everything was about him.”

And current ESPN analyst, Trent Difler:

“Dilfer … basically was an interception waiting to happen. There were times we practically pleaded with him, ‘We know you’re not going to score a touchdown, but please, just don’t turn it over.’ “

Perhaps the book tour and subsequent pre

ss will help convince the NFL network to renew his contract which also happens to be up in August.
