Actor Cedric Yarbrough says Mariah Carey is Unprofessional & BORDERLINE ABUSIVE!

Cedric Yarbrough is spilling some alleged tea on Mariah Carey‘s recent diva behavior. The actor claims that the singer ruined her cameo on Will Ferrell’s new movie, “The House” & she was unprofessional. Cedric, who co-starred in the film, blasted Carey on social media saying,

Okay since Will Ferrell is talking, I’ma talk-ing. Yeah, a real funny cameo was SUPPOSED to happen in the new film #TheHouse with the superstar Mariah Carey. But it was ruined by superstar Mariah Carey. The film takes place in a suburban home but is made into a ‘Casino’. Why not have Mariah be an act in the casino? Funny idea. It’s rumored that she eventually showed up to set. This is true. But after waiting for her for 3-4 hours!

He continued,

While we waited the director & team had the idea of doing a stunt that Mariah’s body double would do now & bring in Mariah to match it. They do the stunt. All goes well. When Mariah finally showed up she refused to match the stunt. ‘Darling, I would never do it that way…’. I heard her say those exact words,” he recalled. “She then requested a large fan for her hair to be blown around and a camera that would be above her, basically a crane shot. This lady was unprofessional & borderline abusive to our director, who tried his best to appease her every wish. In the acting community, it’s not very good form to ‘tell’ on your fellow actors. They could be having a bad day, going through some personal things, & maybe Mariah was, I don’t know. But I do know that our crew didn’t deserve that, our director didn’t,” he wrote, noting he had just finished filming “Speechless” for 10 hours. But “This kind of behavior just isn’t cool.

Yarbrough advised,

For you young actors, be on time, know your homework, but be courteous and respectful. For us old heads, the same. This kind of behavior should be called out for what it is. I miss ‘I had a vision of love’ Mariah. Be a damn professional.

Carey’s camp has yet to comment. 

His post has since been removed from social media.

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.

Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith To Perform Duet At Grammys

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.

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!

Deborah Cox Drops Brand New Song ‘Kinda Miss You!’

On the heels of her incredible covers of some of Whitney Houston‘s biggest and most memorable songs in Lifetime‘s biopic, “Whitney,” vocalist Deborah Cox releases a new song entitled “Kinda Miss You!”

On the heels of that success, Cox has now dropped a new original song, “Kinda Miss You.” The song is a nice blend of danceable R&B soulfulness, Cox’s clear and crisp soprano, and a catchy hook.

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.

Nick and Mariah at Odds Over American Idol!

Nick Cannon was very vocal about his wife Mariah Carey not joining American Idol [click here if you missed that] and was blindsided by her going against his wishes...
From The National Enquirer
BECOMING an “American Idol” judge may be a boon for MARAH CAREY’’s career, but it’s a bust for her marriage!
Her hubby, Nick Cannon, who hosts “Idol” rival “America’s Got Talent,” is furious that the 43-year-old Grammy winner ignored his wishes and decided to star on a direct competitor of his show, say sources.
And while he’s publicly said “she’s gonna be amazing on ‘Idol,’” an insider said that “privately, Nick’s gritting his teeth and dead-set against her taking the job.”

When Mariah was deep in delicate negotiations with “Idol” brass, theinsider says Nick tried to “throw water on the negotiations” by telling a reporter: “I don’t know if they can afford Mariah Carey...If they gave J.Lo $20 million, they might have to double that!” Explained the insider: “Nick was tossing around outrageous salary figures in hopes of pricing Mariah out of the market.
“Right until the eleventh hour, he was begging her to pass on the offer.
"He was dangling incentives – diamond jewelry, a luxurious spa vacation, even promising to pay her a one-time ‘gift’ of $15 million for saying no.
“Nick wants her to be a stay-at-home mom to their twins, at least until they turn 5. He was even hoping to have another baby, but Mariah has effectively scorched that dream.” He should have known he married a DIVA!

Is Mary J Blige Running a Shady Charity?

Never mind what's in the new chicken wrap. TD Bank wants to know what happened to the money they loaned Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute's Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now..According to reports TD Bank loaned Steve and Mary's charity $250,000 back in June 2011 and so far they've only gotten $400 back. The balance of the loan was due in December 2011 and after repeated attempts to collect TD Bank filed a lawsuit.

But that's not the only shady business going on with Steve and Mary's charity. Turns out they never filed a tax return for 2010 and they're being sued by musicians from a 2011 gala who claim they were never paid for their services.

Well Miss Mary called into the Angie Martinez Show to explained what happened,

“I just found out that when you don’t hire the right people and have them in the right places, doing the right things, and they don’t have the same motives that you do, your business suffers. And there’s a business to giving as well. So you have to have the right people to make sure everybody’s straight.”

“I’m an artist and my goal was to do something great. I dreamed about helping save the lives of women. This is something I always wanted to do, but I only wanted to do it if I had the right team of people who can do the part that I can’t do. I don’t know about the business side of this thing. All I know is giving—giving my time, giving my lyrics, giving my life.”“Just know this, Mary J. Blige always bears the brunt of everybody’s horrible mistakes. Mary J. Blige always bears the brunt of people’s incompetence. If it’s my responsibility, that’s fine. I’m a soldier, I’m strong and I can take anything.”

That's Right Get it straight Girl!

Is Jennifer Williams Leaving Basketball Wives?

Jennifer Williams is indeed leaving Basketball Wives, Jennifer who posted an open letter on her blog confirming her relationship with nemesis Evelyn Lozada is over and calling out former friends Shaunie O’Neal and Tami Roman along the way.

Check out what Jennifer had to say:

It has been an epic season of Basketball Wives full of ups and downs, backstabbing, fallouts amongst friends, and assault and battery along with some tears. More than enough drama for me. I can definitely say with pure pleasure I am happy to see this season come to an end.
…..
In relation to the Basketball Wives cast, I feel some of the ladies who claimed to be my friend and claimed to be neutral made snide and slick remarks along with snickering about me. This proved to me that they indeed were not at all neutral. This season for me seemed no matter what I did it wasn’t going to be right, so I stopped trying. Tahiti was the last straw for me, we were half way around the world and I didn’t go there to argue or fight. I just wanted peace, but soon realized that wasn’t going to happen unless I was secluded from those that were determined to argue and fight. Arguing with former friends, slinging dirt back and forth was something I could have done in Miami not there. And what ever happened to the “G Code”? Whether the validity of things being said about me was true or false, as a friend there are certain things I would NEVER do. If you tell me something in confidence friend or foe, whether I don’t speak to you 20 years from now I will respect that and you will never have to worry about me repeating a word. The funny thing about arguing is choosing your words wisely because you can never take them back especially with millions of viewers watching. Although I have been through a number of emotions regarding my friendship with Evelyn dissolving, I have not and will not participate in the mud slinging. Over 10 years we have shared good times, bad times, marriages, engagements, break ups, moving, vacations, holidays together, wins, loses and much more. As we all have witnessed before, unfortunately our relationship has not survived the pressures and effects of a reality show and all that comes with it. As difficult and hurtful as it may be, I will continue to be resolute with my decision to respect what our friendship was and not where is has gone.

Even though this has been a trying season, I hope at some point my cast mates can get along and be civil with one another. I will always appreciate Basketball Wives Season 4 and this time in my life for the abundant lessons learned and personal growth I was forced to face. We all have our own individual imperfections, but I also believe we all have a good heart. As women of color it is important we uplift and support one another. I wish all my cast mates continued success and best wishes with their future endeavors.

Well according to a good source – “Jennifer is not saying goodbye to the Basketball Wives series. Her blog was meant to clarify where she stands in regards to the drama that took place during the season finale in Tahiti, not as a goodbye letter.”

Mariah still being shady to Allison: Mariah Carey's Sister Begs to See the Twins

Mariah Carey's sister has cleaned up her act and is begging the superstar for a reconciliation.

Alison Carey, who worked as a prostitute to help clothe and feed the singer before she made it big, begged Mariah to get in touch so she can finally meet her daughter Monroe and son Moroccan Scott.
The twins turned one last month but their auntie — who looked the spitting image of her “baby sister” — has never had contact with them.
The sisters used to be close but had a huge falling out in 1994. Mariah and their mother Patricia fought Alison for custody of her seven-year-old son Michael, claiming he was at risk in the care of his drug-addict mother.
Alison, who is HIV positive, admits she has worked as a prostitute on the streets of New York for many years — and adds that she used money from punters to pay for her sister’s food and rent when their family was struggling.
Now she insists she has got her life back on track, has been clean and sober for four months and has just started a job as a housekeeper.

Last night she begged Mariah, 42: “Please just call me.”

Mother-of-four Alison, 50, said: “I want to reach out to my sister and tell her how much I miss her and how proud I am that we are family.
“We may be apart now, and it has been many years since we last spoke. But to me, despite all the bad times and the arguments, she will always be my baby sister.
“I still remember when she was a little girl — just as beautiful as she is now.
“It has been incredible watching Mariah grow and blossom into a successful, independent woman with the world at her feet.

“I cannot put into words how moved I was to see pictures of my niece and nephew for the first time.
I saw photographs of them on the television just after they were born and I saw more when they turned one recently.
“They are absolutely adorable. And when I look into their eyes I see my sister’s eyes shining right back at me — the eyes I used to stare into when I would hold her as a baby.

“I am sure Mariah is going to be a fantastic mother and her husband Nick Cannon, who I’ve heard nothing but good things about, will be a great father.
“I just wish Mariah would let me be her sister again and a proper auntie to her children.
“I know we have had so many problems over the years, but I want to reach out to her in the hope that we can make peace and mend the wounds that have torn our family apart.”
Mariah, now 42, Alison and their brother Morgan, 51, had a tough childhood growing up in a stormy, dysfunctional household in the predominantly white suburb of Huntington, New York, where they suffered racial abuse because of their mixed ethnicity.

The star’s maternal grandparents moved to America from Ireland. When Patricia started dating their father Alfred Roy, who was of African-American and Venezuelan descent, her family disowned her.

Mariah’s parents divorced when she was three. The future pop star went to stay with her mother — a vocal coach and occasional opera singer — while Alison lived with their father, an aeronautical engineer.
Times were tough for both girls but Alison says her father was a great man who loved her. According to Alison, Mariah suffered emotional turmoil while she was growing up too. She said: “It still hurts me to think about how much pain Mariah was in.
“Things were not always as stable at home as they should have been.
“Mariah would sometimes be left on her own for hours when she was just a little girl. It sends shivers of regret down my spine to think how much chaos there was.”
Alison — who inherited her mother’s voice and had her own ambitions to be a star — says the pain of her childhood pushed her into prostitution as a teenager. For Mariah, her ordeal made her determined to make it big in showbiz.

Alison says: “When Mariah did not have food, it was me who came and filled up her fridge. When she did not have clean clothes, I would pay for her laundry.
“Mariah and our mother were so broke once they got kicked out of their apartment. I paid for a new place. I also rented the vintage Rolls-Royce that took Mariah to her first audition aged 16 or 17.”
Mariah and her sister’s first major falling out in 1994 came just as the star released what went on to be the best selling Christmas album ever, Merry Christmas.
As Patricia fought Alison for custody of her son Michael, Alison went on national television and alleged her mum had kidnapped him.
She begged Mariah to take her side but she refused. Mariah’s friends say she has done everything she can over the years to get Alison clean and off the game, but eventually gave up. Her sister counters that Mariah has battled her own demons too.
She said: “I still worry about Mariah, to be honest. After her breakdown in 2001 she had a big falling out with our mother.

“I’m not sure how close Mariah is to our mother any more, but she is still very defensive of her for some reason.”

Mariah vowed to reconcile with Alison at her father’s deathbed in 2002, as he lay dying from cancer.
But Alison said: “She has never met that promise. I last spoke to Mariah four years ago when she called me on New Year’s Eve. But since then I have not been able to speak to her.
“I reached out to Mariah last year when a doctor told me I had liver cancer and only four months left to live. A relative told me Mariah decided she wanted to reconcile and she would pay for my treatment. But I never heard from her.
“It turned out to be nothing more than a gallstone. But it would have been nice if my sister had been there for me.”

Fighting back tears, Alison added: “I’ve had my problems over the years but I want to tell Mariah I have been clean and sober for four months now and I am absolutely determined to keep my life on track.
“I really want our family to be together again, and watch my children playing with hers.
“If I had a message it would be, ‘Just call me’. ”

Buying articles of the stars Dead or Alive; Michael Jackson’s desperate letter to Lisa Marie goes on sale (and you can buy Whitney Houston’s passport too)

It has long been known Michael Jackson was leading a traumatic existence before his premature death.
But a newly letter to his former wife Lisa Marie Presley casts even more light on how he was struggling with the pressures of being one of the world's best known celebrities.
The fragile Prince of Pop revealed he had not slept for days and needed to 'take care of my health first' in the document, which has been put up for auction.

In a schoolchild-style scrawl, he wrote: 'I truly need this rest. I haven't slept literally in four days now.
'I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first.'
He also told his the lover that he was 'crazy' for her, and signed off under his pet name Turd.
Readers are given a sense of the warmth between the pair during their marriage, which lasted from 1994to 1996, from the letter.

The highly personal message is predicted to fetch up to $1,200 when it goes under the hammer at the Julien's Auctions sale in Beverly Hills next month.
It is one of a host of fascinating items that are up for sale during the two day celebrity memorabilia extravaganza.
Another interesting piece on the list is one of Whitney Houston's old passports.
Given she died just three months ago, some will be wondering if it is too early for such personal items to be on sale.
But money talks in Hollywood, and the early days passport, which was valid from 1979 and expired in 1984, is sure to attract plenty of interest.
Given it is a high profile item, it was never likely to go cheap, and it is expected to make up to $6,000.

It will be a boon for fans of the star, as it is signed by the music idol on the biography page, as well as on the photograph.

It shows she was already well travelled at a young age, as it Includes stamps from Japan, Jamaica, St. Maarten, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, as well as visas from the land of the rising sun and Jamaica.

Keeping up the morbid atmosphere, the robe Amy Winehouse wore in the video of her hit Rehab is also for sale.
The Princesse Tam + Tam garment was handpicked by Winehouse and the director Phil Griffin for the film.

Due to its special one-of-a-kind nature, it is listed with a sale price of $16,000 at the high end, though it could potentially go for even more.

This is especially true given the great outpouring of grief that followed her death from alcohol poisoning last July.
Buyers will be trying to keep a Poker Face when the Lady Gaga lot goes under the hammer.
For the dress she wore for an appearance in Vogue is believed to be worth between $10,000 and $20,000, and frugal collectors will be hoping to have as low a winning bid as possible.

They may have more luck in buying a Vera Thordardottir dress she wore while performing at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball in 2010.

The white outfit is expected to receive bids of up to $6,000.
Meanwhile a celebrity auction would not be the same if it did not have some Elvis memoribilia.

This one is no exception, and this time a brown Stetson hat he wore in 1969 film Charro, which custom fashioned by Nudie Cohn, is up for sale.

Ashanti Shows Off Some Skin While Performing New Track ‘She Can’t’

Ashanti loves showing some skin!

She made a splash this past weekend in a short revealing dress as she hosted ‘Liquid Sundays’ at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Connecticut. She was spotted poolside, having a little fun in the sun, while channeling her inner ‘Princess Jasmine’ from Aladdin.

Ashanti also made her way down to DC over the holiday break to attend the 5000 Men Omega Party. While there, she showed off some skin in a mesh jumpsuit while performing a few songs from her upcoming album, ‘Braveheart’, including a new song titled, ‘She Can’t’.

Peep a few more photos and Ashanti’s performance below:

Well what do you think?

ITS OFFICIAL: "106 & Park" Hosts Terrence & Rocsi ANNOUNCE They Are Leaving

It's been 7 years. And the second set of hosts for BET's flagship show, "106 & Park," have officially chucked deuces. Rocsi Diaz & Terrence Jenkins confirmed the rumors that have been swirling--they're leaving. And the twosome made their formal and tearful announcement live on tonight's show. During an emotional announcement, Terrence told the audience:

We have decided together that we will soon be leaving '106 and Park' as your hosts. This by no stretch of the imagination was an easy decision. But it's the right one. It's come after a lot of prayer, a lot of thought, and a lot of consideration.

Telling the viewers about being surprised by how successful the show became, Rocsi said:

We had no idea--we can't even express how amazing these seven years have been and how life changing they've been. We appreciate you guys so much.

A final show date for the two hosts has not been announced, but Terrence did say they will have a huge farewell. Terrence has a budding movie career having just starred in this spring's blockbuster film Think Like A Man. And he also made a surprise guest hosting appearance on E! News last week. While the E! network said his was simply a one-off guest hosting gig, it's hard not to think it was also a trial run to see if Terrence and his personality could work for the E! audience and alongside host Giuliana Rancic. 

He did pretty well too.

Rocsi is hoping to get into more of the Hollywood movie life as well--both in front of the cameras and behind them (with her writing).

BET's President of Programming, Stephen Hill, sang the hosts praises today saying:

“Today, after seven exciting years, 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi announced that they will be leaving the show. It is no secret that there are a number of opportunities coming their way and we’re fortunate that they’ve been with 106 & Park for so long. They will be staying on the show for a while, so that we can have a “victory lap” — a celebration of their years at the helm of 106 & Park — before their departure. Terrence J and Rocsi are destined for great success and we at BET Networks will always take pride in being their original home — and be a place where I hope they’ll always feel welcome.”

Well finding replacements will be interesting....

Boxer Paul Williams Paralyzed After Motorcycle Crash

ESPN reports boxer Paul Williams who live in ATL was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in Atlanta Sunday morning.
Williams’ trainer and manager, George Peterson, told ESPN that doctors say Williams will never walk or box again.
Williams was scheduled to face Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in a pay-per-view bout on September 17th.

The 30-year-old Williams is a former two-time welterweight champion.
He is 41-and-2 with 27 knockouts in his career.

Nicki Minaj Tour Dancers Arrested for Rape and Murder in Japan

Source report two men from the Nicki Minaj tour have been arrested for rape in Japan.
Let me first say Nicki had nothing to do with all the drama…
Nicola Furlong, a 21 year old Irish foreign exchange student, was murdered in an upscale hotel room in Tokyo in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Nicola along with another female friend attended the Nicki Minaj concert Wednesday night.

Details are difficult to confirm but this is how the story is shaping up for me. Nicola and her friend met James “King Tight” Blackston 23, a backup dancer, and Larry Perry, a 19 year old musician at the concert. It is looking likely, but as yet unconfirmed, that the two were working on the Nicki Minaj tour.
The girls were wasted. They had missed the last train out and decided to go to the hotel rooms of James and Larry. In the car on the way to the hotel, the girl that lived, claims she was sexually assaulted. Both men were arrested on the sexual assault charge. 

UPDATE: There are conflicting reports on who the 19 year old is.
Because in Japan you are a minor at 19 the police are not releasing the name. Most credible sources in the UK are reporting that it “Larry Perry”. Other sources have mentioned a young drummer who is on a tour unrelated to Nick Minaj. However that person is still tweeting and seems highly unlikely to be the correct 19 year old.
Here’s video of James “King Tight” Blackstone on the Japanese train harassing people.

Watch video:

At the hotel the foursome paired off into two different rooms. The girl who went to James’ room lived. The girl who went to Larry’s room appears to have been strangled to death around 3 a.m.

Other guests reported a loud disturbance. When security checked on the room they found Nicola strangled and Larry standing next to her. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Update: Reports are leaking that the deceased woman was sexually assaulted AFTER she was strangled.
Some international reports indicate that the Japanese often arrest on a lessor charge while building a case on the higher charge. It appears that one or both may be charged in the death soon.
James has done previous backup dancing for Chris Brown and J-Lo in the past. Not much information on “Larry Perry” yet and the Japanese are not even officially identifying him because he is 19. Blackston is 21. Both are in deep shit.

Is Beyonce the "BEST" live performer since Michael Jackson?

This past weekend, Beyonce took to the stage with a vengeance to perform four sold out shows at the Revel grand opening in Atlantic City. And although it was Memorial Day weekend, tons of celebs flocked to AC to check out King Bey’s return to the stage since the birth of Baby Blue Ivy. Rap veteran and actress Queen Latifah caught the show on Memorial Day as well as Beyonce’s ‘Dreamgirls’ co-star Jennifer Hudson who tweeted, ‘Omg best memorial day ever! Glad I spent it at @Revelresorts at queen B concert ! Flawless!!‘

Other celebs spotted at the concert over the weekend included Kelly Rowland, Selita Ebanks, The Dream and First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters Sasha and Malia. While Jay-z tweeted on opening night, ‘Beyonce Is The Best Performer in the world. Period.’, The Dream followed up Jay’s tweet on the following night with a comparison to Michael Jackson.

‘Beyonce Knowles may very well be the baddest MFkr to hit the stage live since MJ! Period! Point Blank‘.

HMMMMMMM PERSONALLY I totally DISAGREE!

Kristen Stewart & Charlize Theron Face Off For Interview

This weekend Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron battle it out on the big screen. To hold us over until “Snow White and the Huntsman” hits theaters, we have the film’s leading ladies facing off for Interview Magazine. Instead of battling with magic, swords and poisonous apples, the ladies fight with high fashion poses and fierce couture provided by Lanvin, Givenchy, Valentino and Nina Ricci to name a few. Photographer Mikael Jansson captures both these actresses in the best way possible.

Considering Charlize was a former fashion model, Kristen does a pretty decent job holding her own with the leggy blond. Wasn’t always a fan of Stewart, but I have to give the girl credit for ditching her former grungy look. The “Twilight” star serves up some serious cheekbones and GLAM-OR. Along with the pics, the two sit down and chat with film critic Elvis Mitchell.

Kenya Bell’s Estranged Hubby Wants Her To Support Him With Her ‘Basketball Wives’ Checks

‘Basketball Wives’ might have ruffled a lot of feathers recently but the stars of the show are profiting big time! Especially newcomer Kenya Bell, who just signed on this season and is reportedly making $300,000 from the show plus sales from a new single that she released on Itunes. Now, her estranged hubby Charlie Bell has his hand out and he wants his cut.

Last year, Charlie was dropped from the NBA and now Kenya is making three times the amount of money he’s bringing in as a baller over in Italy. The tables have definitely turned. Although he has at least a million in the bank, he recently filed for spousal support in hopes that Kenya will now have to pay him in the divorce settlement after years of him having to support her and the kids.

Kenya, on other hand, is denying that she makes that much from the show but she would definitely like a piece of that million he has sitting in the bank.

If Kenya is making $300,000 for her first season, we can only imagine how much table-jumping Evelyn and Tami Roman are getting per episode.
Ironically, if it wasn’t for her marriage to Charlie, Kenya wouldn’t be on the show. She peaked the interest of the producers last year after she was arrested for allegedly stabbing Charlie with a box cutter in Michigan.

Cynthia Nixon Is A Wedded Woman

With summer fast approaching, it is starting to become wedding season and it looks like a famous celebrity lesbian tied the knot over the Memorial Day weekend. On Sunday, it was confirmed that Sex and the City’s Cynthia Nixon was married to longtime partner Christine Marinoni in the state of New York at a private ceremony.

Cynthia wore a custom wedding gown by Carolina Herrera and from the pictures I have seen of the couple together, I assume that Christine wore a pretty fierce suit. The two began dating back in 2004 and were engaged in 2009. The two are also the proud parents of their son Max whom Christine gave birth to last year. Cynthia also has two children, Samantha and Charles, from her previous marriage to photographer, Danny Mozes. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
