Venus Williams Colin Kaepernick Tomas Berdych NAKED 2014: ESPN Magazine
Tennis Pro and Serena Williams' sister, Venus joined Colin Kaepernick and other popular sports stars in going naked for ESPN Magazine's 2014 "Body" issue.(Photo : Twitter/ESPN The Magazine) Venus Williams joined Colin Kaepernick and other popular sports stars for ESPN magazine's 2014 "Body" issue! All the well-known and winning athletes got naked, showing off their figures and flaunting their flesh for their sixth annual issue.
But the five-time Wimbledon champion stood out among the pack given that Williams is rather reserved when it comes to the spotlight.
The California native lands in ESPN's pages five years after her sister, Serena Williams landed on the cover. She poses in a confident, empowering stance while concealing her womanly assets from the camera.
Williams has a quiet power on film and on the tennis court. The successful athlete is currently playing at Wimbledon, having won five singles titiles in her career. And she is only one of four women to accomplish such a feat, according to the New York Daily News.

The nine-time Grand Slam winner has has won many accolades, but endured through a very painful struggle silently for some time. Williams opened up and disclosed never-before-heard details about her battle with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that forced her to take a six-month break from tennis from 2011-12, reported the newspaper.

"At my worst point, I wasn't able to play tennis at all," said Williams to ESPN. "Just the whole quality of my life was compromised. You are so tired it hurts. You have to accept that you're never going to be 100%."
The 34-year-old Williams also joined a nude Tomas Berdych in the super-revealing issue. 
The big ESPN "Body" issue hits newsstands on July 11.



Lady Gaga Criticized by PETA after Decking Dog Asia Out in Heavy Jewels
Keeping with the eighties theme, Lady Gaga stepped out rocking another wild getup
The Mother Monster donned a low-cut silver gown with a curly brunette wig and walked around greeting fans in the streets of New York City.
In related news, Gaga is the latest target for PETA after sharing a photo of her French Bulldog Asia draped in heavy jewels.
"Lady Gaga may choose to decorate herself with elaborate and even uncomfortable outfits, but Asia doesn’t get to make that choice," the animal rights group wrote in a statement via its official website.
"Though it seems pretty clear that Lady Gaga loves Asia, we think Asia — and all dogs — are adorable without all the added flair."



Casper Smart Suing Jennifer Lopez for Palimony??
Is Casper Smart really suing JLo after their break up for $30,000k a month in palimony? According to reports the two split after Smart was rumored cheating on Jennifer Lopez with a transgender! After two years of living the plush life, Smart wants to keep up with the lifestyle and is reportedly suing his ex-girlfriend JLo for palimony. Palimony is a form of alimony awarded to one of the partners in a romantic relationship after the breakup of that relationship following a long period of living together.
This report comes days after finalizing her long divorce with Marc Anthony and a not so great music week for JLo.
JLo has practically been everywhere the  last two weeks promoting her latest album, A.K.A, but her first week in album sales seemed to flop, the songstress sold 83,000; UK newcomer Sam Smith top the charts selling 170,000.
Via Earsucker
According to a new report, Casper had gotten used to the comfortable style of living due to his relationship with Jennifer. Now, we are hearing rumors that Casper is looking to wage a claim against the singer for $30,000 per month in order to keep him in the lifestyle of which he became accustomed when they were still a couple. Reportedly, the boy toy has hired a top celebrity lawyer in Los Angeles to prepare his claim against his ex-girlfriend. A source said, “He wants her to continue to keep him in the lifestyle he grew accustomed to during their two-and-a-half years living together in her properties on both coasts of the U.S.” Another source said that Casper was looking to double that sum in addition to a one-time six figure payment, but his attorney told him to be “more realistic”. Jennifer is said to be seething over the reports of his impending court claims and is prepared to settle out privately.



Lamar Odom Won’t Divorce Khloe Kardashian – Refuses To Sign Papers 6 Months After Filing
By all accounts, Khloe Kardashian‘s marriage to Lamar Odom appeared to end last summer when his affairs with a few other women became very detailed, public knowledge. It still took her until Christmas to actually file for divorce and in the months that have followed Khloe has been connected to a string of bad boys, including current flame French Montana.  It sure looked like Lamar wanted out of the marriage but according to the June 30th print edition of Life & Style Magazine he has yet to sign those divorce papers.

Sources close to Lamar say that he is flat out refusing to sign on the dotted line because he wants Khloe back. Apparently Lamar is now clean and sober and believes that eventually Khloe will give him another chance to make things up to her. Her realizes that her taste in men hasn’t changed, she is still gravitating towards the broken kind which means that he may still have a shot, especially if he can prove he has pulled himself together.

I hate to admit it but I think Lamar might have a real shot at winning Khloe back. I mean French isn’t exactly an upgrade. He’s a serious bad boy that has managed to pull her down with him. Plus her family worries that French is into Khloe’s cash more than he is actually into her. At least Lamar really did love her and had his own bank account, right? Can you imagine Khloe ever taking Lamar back? Should she stick with French or reevaluate her taste in men all together?  Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Benzino Proposes To Girlfriend Althea With Huge Diamond Ring
We’re not sure how we missed this earlier in the week, but, “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” reality star and Hip Hop Weekly magazine owner, Benzino, has been showing off the diamond engagement ring he presented to girlfriend Althea Heart.
Since being shot by his nephew during a very heated family dispute at his mom’s funeral, Althea has been by Benzino’s side through it all.

For that reason, we suppose, Benzino felt he found his perfect match and to pop the question.
Zino also shared this photo of his lady love naming her his #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) on Instagram.
Unfortunately Benzinois also getting flack for his decision to marry Althea. It’s been rumored that Althea also slept with Benzino’s bestie and LHHATL co-star Stevie J.
Stevie J’s own wife, the infamous Joseline Hernandez, did say that the two are known to share women.

Well, congrats to the happy couple…we guess.

Hank Baskett Cheated on Kendra Wilkinson at 8 Months Pregnant with Transsexual Ava Sabrina London
It looks like Hank Baskett‘s stay at a hotel is about to be extended because I don’t think that Kendra Wilkinson is letting him back into their home anytime soon.  I think when it was confirmed that he had left the house we all kind of figured that Hank must have really screwed up but I don’t think any of us really saw this coming. According to Celeb Dirty Laundry Hank was caught meeting up with a transsexual, Ava Sabrina London that he had met off of You Tube. Apparently he was mesmerized by her videos and had to check her out in person.
Sources say that they first met up on April 22nd just a few weeks before Kendra gave birth to their daughter and once wasn’t enough. Hank kept in touch with his new side dish and paid her nicely to keep things quiet. Ironically after Hank watched Casper Smart crash and burn over similar allegations he got nervous. Maybe a little too nervous. Hank started calling the side dish begging her to stay quiet and he also tried to buy her silence again- offering up a cool $5 grand.
 Hank’s behavior must have sent up a flare for Kendra because she did catch on and now realizes that her man was cheating on her while she was 8 months pregnant. No wonder she bounced him out of their family home. The real question now is whether or not Kendra will even want to try and work things out with her shady husband. Do you guys think that there marriage is going to last through this crisis or is divorce imminent? 



Nicki Minaj Reveals That ‘Pink Print’ Is The ‘Blueprint For Female Rappers!’
Nicki Minaj discusses upcoming album, “Pink Print,” and why it is going to be a HIT!
Check out details below!
Nicki Minaj opened up about “Pink Print” and why she has sat the standards higher with this one. The NY MC compared “Pink Print” to Jay-Z’s “Blueprint,” and that fans can expect more confidence in this album.

Jay-Z has had his ‘Blueprint’ albums and that’s what I feel like this album’s gonna be. I really feel like this album will be like a Blueprint for female rappers to come…I think the second album lacked a little bit of focus. I think the first album was very focused and very raw and just very real, and I think the third album is back to just being raw and real. I’m addressing things that I’ve never addressed before on the third

She also admitted that her latest single, “Pills N Potions,” is displaying her vulnerable side.

Everybody has felt like they’re angry, but they still love somebody, and something about that line I feel is just like one of the strongest lines ever said. ‘I’m angry, but I still love you’ I think there’s something that’s very classic and iconic about that because everyone can relate.

Minaj would not say if label mate, Lil’ Wayne, would be making a few appearances on her new album or not? But she does reveal that they will be working in the same studio for the next few weeks.
I sent him something he liked, but I didn’t hear his verse yet…But I think overall my connection with Wayne is so deep that I don’t gotta be on his album and he don’t gotta be on my album for him to always play a role of mentor in my life.

The most exciting news she opened up about was that she has some new stuff coming out!

The “blueprint for female rappers,” she says? I am extremely curious and excited for this new album! She has yet to disappoint me! What do you guys think?…Will she be able to deliver?



No Love in Detroit for Rick Ross, cancelled show because he feared his life
This comes as no surprise, Rick Ross rarely receive loves from the Motor City and this is not the first time he has been dissed in Detroit. Rick Ross was scheduled to perform in Detroit Saturday June 21, 2014 and was blocked from entering the facility. According to sources and concert goers Ross was blocked by roughly 100 people who formed a human blockade  not allowing Ross to enter the facility, protesting and harassing Rick Ross. Ross feared for his life and cancelled his performance. The irony is the police claim the protest was peaceful and there was nothing they could do……but Rick Ross still wins because he was paid in advance and left the area. Apparently local Detroit rapper Trick Trick and his goons were the villains blocking Rick Ross from entering, Rozay never even got out of his vehicle. Trick Trick has some “no fly zone” rule he is trying to mandate, rappers from performing in Detroit.

David Rudolph, a spokesperson for The Right Productions, said a report that “100 individuals” harassed Ross outside the venue and forced him to call off his show didn’t lead to any danger at all during the entire Hot 107.5 Summer Jamz 17 event inside.
The Right Productions is the management and booking agency for Chene Park, a 6,000-seat, city-owned outdoor amphitheater along the banks of the Detroit River.
“This issue didn’t happen within Chene Park; it happened outside,” said Rudolph, who noticed a crowd outside the venue as Ross’ camp tried entering around 11 p.m. “And it’s unfortunate that this was a tactic to prevent another artist performing.”

News that Ross was “in fear of his life” in Detroit after 100 individuals allegedly threatened him outside Chene Park came during the show from Jay Hicks, a program director for Detroit radio station Hot 107.5 Fm.

He confirmed the news during a concert that was expected to also have performances from B.o.B., A$AP Ferg, Rico Love, Sevyn Streeter, Scarface and more.

Then Hicks told fans the show was over.
An excerpt from Hicks’ announcement that starts at the video’s 3-minute mark:
 “I’m going to be real with y’all; I’m going to be real as (expletive). We had Rick Ross right outside here tonight at about eleven o’clock. As he was pulling in to come into Chene Park, he was met by 100 individuals outside. By 100 individuals outside!”
Detroit Police Department Sgt. Eren Stephens said Sunday afternoon she was unaware of any arrests that were made at Chene Park because of the incident.

She added that no 911 calls were made from the area or any calls for more officers.
“We were not notified,” Stephens said of the Ross concert incident. “There were no calls pertaining to that.”

Honestly if 100 goons would surround my vehicle I would leave as well. Ross actually did a smart thing by leaving…

Sparkle opens at #5....WOMP

Sparkle rounded out the Top Five with an estimated $12 million debut, which is a decent opening for a modestly-budgeted, lightly-marketed movie. The audience skewed older (62 percent above 35 years of age) and female (74 percent), and they gave the movie an "A" CinemaScore, all of which indicates that it should play well throughout the rest of the season.



Alicia Keys Reveals "Girl On Fire" as Upcoming Album Title 
Alicia Keys fans will be joyous this coming fall. The R&B diva has announced the title for her forthcoming fifth studio album, "Girl on Fire," and it looks like this project will reveal much more about Ms. Keys. 

Keys left the below message for fans... 
Hey… 
I’m in the studio right now working away on my new album and I am SO excited!!! I’m ignited!!! I’m like a match to a flame! I’ve had the title of this album in my mind for a long time….It’s been hard to hold it back and now I’m not holding it back anymore! It is called Girl on Fire!!! And that’s exactly how I feel!!! You’ll be learning more about it soon… but let me just say before making this record, in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage…I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew, I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a Girl on Fire, the lion broke free!! 
During the recording process, I mostly stayed in NY but on some cool and memorable occasions, I traveled to different places, and worked with many collaborators, (some old friends, some new). I discovered so many beautiful sounds, and meanings and a lot about the power of a song. I can’t wait to share this album with you. I promise when you hear it, it’s a new me, I gave it my all: powerful, soulful, honesty and heart… With Girl on Fire, I want to move you and surprise you. 

Girl on Fire is about new beginnings, new perspectives and fresh starts… stripping away all the bad energy in your life and taking full control of the reigns and how you want to live. There is something really empowering about finding yourself and your own inner strength. On one song, One of the lines I wrote says, “I’ll never be perfect, but at least now I’m brave!” 
Here’s to finding your power! Your FIRE!! Stay tuned for more. 

In the meantime, thank you for all your love, strength and support. 
-Alicia 
A Girl On Fire!!!!

Jamie Foxx to Introduce New Show : “Apollo Live”

Jamie , along with the help of Gladys Knight (who will be one of the judges) goes on to explain that American Idol,”  is more based around its judges and not necessarily the talent now”. He feels that it is time for the artist to shine now, and to be able to really enjoy the moment. 
Are you guys ready for a new age Apollo. It may be interesting if you can still boo contestants like they used to on the original show. He hasn’t said if booing will be a part of the show yet so i guess we have to wait and see. 

Do you think this show is gonna give American Idol a run for its money? Let me know what you think.

NYPD shoot DOG on busy NYC street in front of horrified onlookers 
A New York City police officer shot a dog who apparently snapped at him in a sad scene on  a busy Manhattan street. 
The dog is reportedly clinging to life after the shooting, which occurred on the corner of 2nd Avenue and 14th Street in the East Village neighbourhood. 
Officers responded to the corner on a report of a sick man, and found a homeless individual in front of a KFC there, who appeared to have had a seizure. 
But as the officers tried to wake him, a dog - which witnesses said belonged to the man - began growling at them. 
The dog then leapt up at the officer, who fired one shot, striking the dog in the head as terrified bystanders looked on.
Despite earlier reports that the pit bull was killed, the animal, whose name is reportedly Star, is clinging to life at Animal Care & Control in the East Harlem neighborhood. 
The man was not identified, but those at the scene told DNAInfo.com that he was a drifter from Poland, who often hung out on the corner with the dog. 
While some witnesses said that the officer was only defending himself, others accused the officer of using excessive force. 
One onlooker, who wished not to be identified, told Gothamist that officers had sprayed mace or pepper spray at the pit bull before the shot rang out. 
Aida Feliciano, who lives nearby, told the New York Daily News that the man was kicked by officers, prompting the dog to become defensive of its owner. 
She said: 'Instead of calling the ambulance, they started kicking him.' 
Another witness told NY1: 'I talked to the cop afterwards. He was very shaken up. He's a dog lover and it ruined his week, if not his year. And he did what he had to do to protect himself.' 
The homeless man was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The officer was also hospitalised for ringing in his ears. 
The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment. 


Rob Kardashian & Rita Ora Get Inked Together? 
In the heat of recent dating rumors did Rob Kardashian and Rita Ora get his and hers tattoos?

Only hours after the Kardashian brother posted the picture the "How We Do" singer tweeted, "ITS NOT REAL LOL," referring to the "fresh ink." 
The couple has been rumored to be an item after spotted multiple times together, dating back to December. 


Sean “Diddy” Combs Under Consideration For “Idol” Role 
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ name is being thrown into the mix of possible candidates to fill one of the empty judge’s seats on “American Idol.” The “New York Post” cites sources who say they “hear producers at the Fox show have reached out to the Bad Boy Records founder and rap mogul.” Pop superstar Mariah Carey has already claimed one of the seats left vacant by the back-to-back departures of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez last month. So far, original “Idol” judge Randy Jackson is still on board but reports have suggested that his role may be changing on the show. 

Jonas Brothers singer Nick Jonas confirmed over the weekend that he was in talks to take a seat on the panel. Country singer Brad Paisley and hip-hop producer Pharrell Williams are also among the names rumored to be under consideration to judge “Idol’s” 12th season. 


Five Better Picks for the Role of Nina Simone Than Zoe Saldana 
A large contingent of the black internet were up in arms last night at the news that Zoe Saldana is now replacing Mary J. Blige in a much-discussed Nina Simone biopic. Really? Because Zoe’s known for her deep speaking and singing voices? Because she’s known for singing at all? Because she bears such uncanny physical resemblance to Simone? Okay… 

Shadow and Act has confirmed the news, which began as a rumor. The film, which was slated to begin production last May, has been long-delayed – and there’s still no solid assurance that it will begin to shoot any time soon. The storyline will focus on Simone’s relationship with her manager, Clifton Henderson. The fabulous David Oyelowo is attached to that role. You’ll get no complaints from me on that one. But Zoe is even more questionable than Blige for this biopic, as Blige is, at least, a singer (though in order for either of them to really get to the core of Nina Simone’s voice, they would have to lip sync). 
No one’s arguing that Zoe isn’t an appealing onscreen presence and a rapidly rising star. But most would agree that, if she remains attached to this particular film, she will be woefully miscast. Here are a few experienced actresses who’d more fully fit the bill: 

1. Adepero Oduye 
Tambay O. Obenson of Shadow and Act has been vocal about his preference for the young Pariah star in the role of Nina Simone. Oduye has certainly proven that she can carry a film. She has the commanding presence and sensitivity to play Nina and it would be great to see what she would do with a role this iconic. 

2. Aisha Hinds 
I love Aisha Hinds. I’ve loved her in pretty much every role I’ve watched her play. I’ve been patiently waiting for her to score that one breakout performance that will catapult her from guest appearances on television dramas to the silver screen big time. Playing Nina Simone would definitely provide her that boost. 

3. N’Bushe Wright 
I’m starting to think Wright may be semi-retired. According to IMDB, she was in a comedy last year, A Talent for Trouble. But before that, her last acting credit was in 2005. If she’s interested in a comeback, I’d love to see her agent throw her hat into the ring for this role. 

4. Viola Davis 
This is the obvious choice, really, if it’s a film that wants any Oscar nods. Davis’s career is red-hot right now, and it’s likely she doesn’t have time to squeeze this in (or that she doesn’t want to do another biopic right now, as she has at least one other in the works). But her speaking voice and her powerful onscreen presence make her a shoo-in for consideration. 

5. India.Arie 
Look. I know she’s not an actress and maybe she has next to no interest in acting. But as soon as they started talking about a Nina Simone biopic, I started thinking about India.Arie as an obvious contender. Her singing voice and her physical appearance make her a viable candidate. 

What do you guys think? Can Zoe work in the role? Do you prefer any of our five picks? Would you like add your own? 


Janelle Monáe Named The New Face of CoverGirl 
CoverGirl just announced they’ve named Janelle Monáe as their newest face, Vogue reports. Monáe’s beauty feels very natural, effortless and refreshing so it’s wonderful to see her acknowledged by the corporate beauty industry. 
The 26 year-old singer opened up to Vogue about her new role as spokesperson, even sharing the Covergirl products she uses on herself: 
“The singer, who does her own makeup for most major performances, has already started experimenting with CoverGirl’s Lash Blast Mascara. “I keep my eyes pretty simple but I like to make [my lashes] a little darker and thicker,” she says. She’s also been dipping into the company’s highly pigmented Lip Perfection line—introduced to her by makeup artist and CoverGirl global creative design director Pat McGrath on the Los Angeles set of her first print campaign two months ago. “She’s not only one of the most talented people in the universe but she’s also one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet,” says Monáe of bonding instantly with McGrath—who provided a quick solution to her mic-swiping lipstick quandary. “She told me to do the whole lip liner thing first so that it stains my mouth and makes the color last,” she says, before adding with a laugh: “Thank you, Pat!” 
Monáe looks forward to inspiring women to find their own beauty and strength, saying: “I believe in the idea of every woman finding their own beauty superpowers. I want to help redefine what it means to be a strong woman in the music and fashion worlds.” 
She joins Pink as one of the newer faces of CoverGirl. No details have been released on when her ad will debut.

Mariah Staging an Intervention for Rihanna? 
Insiders claim Mariah Carey is trying to convince Rihanna to calm down and chill out before she self-destructs...

Usher Explains How Stalker Got in His Home at Custody Hearing 
Taking the stand to discuss communication troubles with Tameka, Usher told the court he is never informed of just about anything pertaining to his children. 
"It's alarming that I never know who was actually on the trip, who was with them, who was caretaking for them," said Usher.  "Was the nanny there, was it a relative or a family member or one of the other children watching the kids?  Was it a cousin, or an uncle—I don't know, I never know.  I never get any information unfortunately until we're in court." 
While that may have helped his case, which is to obtain full custody of his sons, Usher had to address Tameka's concern that his home was unsafe Monday. As widely reported last month, a woman describing herself as someone involved with Usher was able to access his property in a secured community. According to Usher's testimony, the stalker was able to enter the home and even take pictures. 
"My grandmother answered the door (and) assumed this was someone I had an appointment with," Usher said before claiming a conversation with his bodyguard led to the woman be escorted off the property by the community's security team. "He (my bodyguard) was then brought over and escorted the lady out to the front yard. At that point they then escorted her off together." 


Miley Cyrus -VS- Tyler the Creator???
