Letoya Luckett Explains Beyonce's "Cough" Shade Towards Kelly Rowland To MTV

Letoya...did Olivia Pope put you up to this lol?...

Earlier this month a video of the original Destiny's Child members surfaced, showing the girls in an interview and throwing what appeared to be major shade-a-rade towards singer Kelly Rowland!

Newest 'Single Ladies' cast member and ex Destiny's Child star Letoya Luckett recently caught up with MTV to explain the alleged shady expressions along with, teenager at the time, Beyoncé's infamous cough move after Kelly introduced herself as the "second lead vocalist" of the group.

"Everybody is like, ‘Shade for Beyoncé’s cough,’ What if the girl had to cough?” [What Kelly said] was the truth, we really would sit there and everybody knew their role. It was a real team, like, we were team players. B was first lead; Kelly was second lead; I was soprano; Tavia was the alto and she was the spokesperson. Everybody knew their lane so no one ever stepped in anyone else’s lane. That’s how every team should work."

She added, "Our faces were hilarious, I did something crazy with my eyes, and now I’m like, ‘Why did I do that? That’s so mean, but I don’t think it was made, because what she said was so true, and we all knew that."

Catch the interview and the hilarious "shade" video below.

(You Gotta Be Kidding Me) George Zimmerman: I Want To Be A Celebrity Fighter!

WARNING! Creeper Alert!...

By now I'm sure that everyone has caught wind of the news that broke yesterday regarding our good murderer friend George Zimmerman's next venture; and if ya just so happened to have missed it, then you've come to the right place.

According to TMZ the infamous celeb wants to take his fighting antics to the next level and start quarrels professionally (I can't deal right now as I'm typing. This is pure comedy).

Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman introduced the challenge, offering Curious George money to step into the ring with anybody ready and willing.

 Where do I even begin with this? I mean...do I even begin with this? I guess if you want to take out some frustrations without any legal repercussions then you can give it a shot. In fact, one celebrity already agrees that it's a brilliant idea.

Rapper The Game told TMZ, "I would box him to knock him out. I would definitely take pleasure in it.  It's legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon."

The fight is scheduled for March 1st, and Georgey Worgey's proceeds will be donated to a charity of his choice. *Places side-eye here.

NY Post To Jay Z: You're A Crappy Husband!

To hate, or not to hate. That is the question...

Last weekend's Grammy performance by the most adored couple in Hollywood, Jay Z and Beyoncé, had many couples wishing they could be just as drunk in love as the Carters, but not everyone was pleased.

NY Post columnist Naomi Schaefer Riley recently gave her opinion on what kind of husband she thinks Jay Z is, and also dished on her displeasure with Bey leaving very little to the imagination.

"What do you call a man who stands there smiling and singing as his scantily clad wife straddles a chair and shakes her rear end for other men’s titillation? I’m certain if I look through enough Jay Z song titles, I’ll come up with the right name for his role in Beyoncé’s performance at the Grammy Awards Sunday night. Rhymes with Goodyear. . . ? Well, how about I just call him a poor excuse for a husband."



The column continues with a quote from author Charlotte Hays that says, "Honestly, I didn’t want to watch Jay Z and Beyoncé’s foreplay... Indeed, the happy couple seems to have completely blurred the line between what goes on in their bedroom and what happens on national TV. So much for the woman that Michelle Obama has called "a role model who kids everywhere can look up to."

Hays added, " It is a little bit surprising, though, coming so soon after Beyoncé contributed to the recent feminist manifesto, the Shriver Report. When she complains that "gender equality is a myth," one wonders to what extent her consent to sell sexuality has contributed to the problem."

And with all that being said, what do you think A-listers? Are today's performances (Not just Beyoncé's) getting rid of the notion that women should be ladies in the street, but freaks in the bed? Or does Bey's new stage persona represent how women should be with their husbands? Might be a little bit of both...

Justin Bieber: I've Got A New Arrest And New Music! ('Confident' Video Inside)

They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, and I believe Justin Bieber's camp couldn't agree more...

In the midst of all his legal woes including an arrest in Miami with a urine sample from the singer testing positive for marijuana and Xanax, and most recently the Biebs turning himself in to Toronto Police regarding a December altercation with a limo driver, Justin is still taking care of his fans by dropping hot new music.

The teen sensation recently released a video for his new single "Confident" which shows the singer on a mission to snag his very confident leading lady.

Catch the video below.



I have to say that I like this song. Meanwhile, doesn't Justin's new hairstyle remind ya'll of somebody?...



P.S. Justin Bieber pleaded not guilty to his DUI arrest in Florida, but...how do you do that if you're 1. Driving and 2. Under the influence of marijuana and Xanax? So confused...

R&B Singer K. Michelle: Bye Bye Love And Hip Hop! I'm Starring In A New Musical!

Has K. Michelle finally renounced her throne as Drama Queen over Love And Hip Hop? Possibly (It must be a reaaaal cold day in you know where)...

During a phone interview with Chicago's 107.5 WGCI's Morning Riot crew yesterday, the 'Love And Hip Hop' star called in to discuss her feelings towards the popular drama filled reality show LAHH, and also exclusively announced her plans to star in a VH1 musical directed by Idris Elba.

K. Michelle on how she feels about 'Love And Hip Hop':

"I just don't need it. It's a lot of drama and I'm kind of [pause] I've really been staying away from it...I just don't care. I don't care to be there."

K. Michelle on starring in a new musical directed by Idris Elba:

"My album 'Rebellious Soul' is turning into a musical so…yeah it’s on VH1. Idris Elba is the director. It’s my first time telling anybody so you guys kinda got it first. I took every song on 'Rebellious Soul' and turned it into a conversation and flipped it. Kinda like a female 'Trapped in the Closet.' Turned the whole album around, Idris heard it, loved it, and we decided to team up on it. Me and him. VH1 will air it. I didn’t want to make it a celebrity thing so we decided we really want it to be focused on the story…fun and laugh and cry. People have been talking to me about a lot of acting roles and things but this one will be my first time really being on the screen."

The "rebellious" singer is also slated to go on tour with Robin Thicke starting February 21st.

A musical with Idris Elba eh?; that will be interesting to see. Well, I'm all for positive turn-a-rounds, so best of luck on the new K.! Lord knows I'd rather hear her voice over that noise she created on 'Love And Hip Hop' any way...

Basketball Wives Evelyn Lozada: I'm Having A Boy!

Ladies and gentleman, it's a boy!

'Basketball Wives' star Evelyn Lozada wants the world to know that she's expecting a handsome little wittle baby boy!

The mom-to-be caught up with PEOPLE on January 28th for an exclusive update on her pregnancy, and also gave up the goods on her upcoming baby shower.

"I was about 13 weeks when they told me the sex! I was honestly praying for a boy. I have wanted to have a son for years," Lozada added, "Every time I go to the doctor, I have them check to make sure it’s a boy. I’m still in disbelief!"

To help celebrate the birth of what appears to be the first male for their family in years, Lozada will be throwing a "diapers and diamonds" themed baby shower on February 8th in Los Angeles. The event will be hosted by Evelyn's daughter Shaniece and her 'Basketball Wives' costar Shaunie O'Neal. Celebrity planner Diann Valentine will be the organizer of the event.

Evelyn and her fiancé, LA Dodgers Outfielder Carl Crawford, have yet to pick a name.

"Diapers and diamonds" themed baby shower eh? Well I say if you've got it flaunt it. And we know Carl most definitely got it with that $142 million contract... Oh Ocho...smh

T.I. Addresses Marriage Rumors: We're Fine! I Was Just Mad!

Ok folks, nothing to see here...keep it moving...please and thank you...

T.I. and Tiny fans can all let out a sigh of relief for now in regards to the breakup rumors that recently hit the web.

Earlier today T.I. spoke with TMZ to set the record straight, and also wanted his fans to know the "Trouble Man's" marriage is quite frankly far from trouble.

According to TMZ:

T.I. tells us yeah, there was a big argument, but it was over something pretty stupid.  Tiny wanted to walk the Grammy red carpet and watch the show but T.I. wanted none of it.  He says they angrily challenged each other on who would end up having more fun that night.

T.I. says the next morning ... they mended fences.

Before T.I.'s address to the media, Tiny's best friend Shekinah tried damage control on her own.

I don't know about ya'll, but this is good news for me! I will say that I think the next time they have an argument, maybe juuuust maybe they should try airing out their weird threats cryptic messages to each others cell phones rather than social media. Just a suggestion though.

Nevertheless, yay T.I. and Tiny! I smell another season of 'The Family Hustle' coming on. Ya'll had me nervous for a bit...

T.I. And Tiny Headed for Splitsville?!

What's going on Cliff Huxtable Harris? You and Tiny ok?...

It seems there may be trouble in paradise for the head honchos of Hip Hop's Huxtable family. Over the weekend, the rumor mill went crazy with swirling reports that T.I. and Tiny may be heading for divorce.

To add fuel to the fire, some very cryptic messages from the couple's Instagram pages were uploaded to suggest that maybe they are in the trouble zone. *T.I.'s post has since been deleted.



Tiny followed the rapper's comment by posting:

"These n-ggas be acting up & these B’s be letting em! True Story… My fav song right now!!!! So what you saying hoe!"

Before things could get too far out of hand, Tiny's best friend and hair stylist loud mouth make ya head hurt when she talks Shekinah took to Instagram to defend the couple's marriage.



T.I. and Tiny were both in L.A. over the weekend for the Grammys festivities, but were not photo'd together.

Hopefully this is all one big Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith type of misunderstanding. These two are one of my fave Hollywood couples, so I want them to work out. Besides, I love watching their VH1 show 'The Family Hustle.' Heck, if there's no them, there's no show!

Tiny with Tamar Braxton and Sevyn Streeter over the weekend:

Toni Braxton: I Bought A $3 Million Home After My $50 Million Debt!

You only live once, that's the motto chica YOLO!...I guess...

Now this is what we call going hard or going home.

Four years ago it was reported that singer Toni Braxton was knee deep (or better yet drowning) in a $50 million debt which caused her to file for bankruptcy. But now, after repaying a percentage of that cost, Toni is in the clear and balling out of control!

According to TMZ, the singer turned reality star has just purchased a $3 million home in Calabasas'; An exclusive gated community, and also the neighborhood of Justin Bieber, and Kardashian sister Kourtney.

Bankruptcy is looking real good on Toni! Congrats on the new purchase! Here's to hoping it was a smart one...

 

Jay Z And Beyonce's Drunk In Love Grammy Performance Plus Grammy Wear (Video Inside)

Warning before entering! It's extremely steamy in here...SURFBOARD!

This year I believe the Grammys had three things on their mind when thinking about their opening act; hot, hotter, and hottest!

Tonight all of the talk surrounding the Carters performing at tonight's musical award show was finally silenced when the duo took to the stage to perform their hit song "Drunk In Love."

The performance was filled with flashing lights, spice and everything nice with the main attraction being Queen Bey's choice of style. The sexy songstress kicked off the night wearing a very revealing black bondage like negligee, sheer polka-dotted panty hose, and black pumps.

Blue Ivy's mother showed the audience that her body is indeed still bootylicious after all these years, and that she only needs a chair and wet hair to put in that work!

If you didn't catch the performance, check it out below.




I wonder if my friends are up for a late night run to the gym...

If they don't feel like going I bet this will make them get out of bed...

Michelle Williams To Beyonce: Your Sexy Album Embarrasses Me!

There's a time and a place for everything, and Beyoncé's bestie Michelle Williams is saying this ain't the time nor the place! Well, sort of...

Former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams recently caught up with US Weekly at the 5th Annual Essence Black Women in Music Event, and gave her two cents on how Beyoncé's provocative self-titled album made her feel.

Michelle, who was featured on Beyoncé's record breaking surprise project in the video Super Power, admits although she loves Bey's new work, some lyrics are clutch ya pearls and cover your ears worthy.

"I love her new album, I think it’s amazing!" Williams added,  "I was telling someone on the way here how I was laughing. I don’t know if it’s laughter of shyness or embarrassment because the makeup artist and everyone was listening to her say these things, and I’m like, 'That’s private girl!' We aren’t supposed to know all that. But she is married and has produced a baby, and we know what you have to do to produce a baby so OK!"

Michelle is one out of many who will be in attendance for tonight's 56th annual Grammy Awards.

Um Michelle...a little birdie told me that you're not alone when it comes to those lyrics...

ATL Housewives Kenya Moore: I Told Ya'll Apollo And Phaedra Weren't Worth A Flip!

We all knew this was coming soon...and now, whoop there it is...

Yesterday news broke of ATL Housewives husband Apollo Nida getting arrested for bank fraud and identity theft.

And now, low and behold guess which RHOATL co-star took first dibs on weighing in about the situation?

After celebrating her 43rd birthday, coincidentally on the same day of Apollo's arrest, Ms. Kenya Moore took time out to share her thoughts on how she feels about this whole mess, and who she thinks is really crazy.

Losers never win. I have always seen through ppl and I was the first to tell you last season about these ppl and who they really are. #dirty
— KENYA MOORE (@KenyaMoore) January 25, 2014

She then added:

I said it all on @ArsenioHall. #youcantbethatdumb #inonit #angelastanton #neverlieonmeagain #evil #fake #whoscrazynow
— KENYA MOORE (@KenyaMoore) January 25, 2014

Smh. Unfortunately Apollo ended up giving his arch nemesis Kenya the best birthday gift of all; putting himself and wife Phaedra on the wall of shame, and back in trouble with the law.

Uh Oh!: ATL Housewives Phaedra Parks' Husband Apollo Arrested For Fraud!?

Not again friend! Nooooo, not again...

Things just got extremely real for one of Atlanta Housewives husbands, Apollo Nida.

It appears Phaedra Parks' hubby has gotten himself in a bit of hot water over bank fraud and identity theft allegations!

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Apollo was arrested earlier today from charges that stemmed from a complaint filed by the U.S. District Court Attorney's office in Atlanta on Thursday. The U.S. District Court Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill reportedly released him on a pretrial bond later Friday evening.

This isn't Apollo's first run in with the law; from 2004-2009 he was imprisoned for breaking federal racketeering laws related to auto title fraud.

Yiiiiiiikes cell mate! Fraud here, fraud there, fraud everywhere! Hopefully there's more to this than meets the eye. Maybe this is just something being done in order to try and drag Apollo's name through the mud...maybe

Snoop Dogg: I Love Wearing Sparkly Nails

Snoop...are those rhinestones on your nails?...

Snoop Dogg has a message for all you females out there, and I believe it's "anything you can do I can do better. I can do anything better than you!"

The rapper, who recently dropped the dogg from his name and added "Lion" (or maybe even zilla, who knows) recently shared pics of his newest manicure job.

In the images, Snoop shows love towards all things "chronic" and sparkly by displaying his French manicured hands with a painted superman logo, rhinestones, and cannabis leaves.

Snoop isn't the only male celeb who's taken interest in the growing trend of guys getting their nails painted; Dwyane Wade, Wiz Khalifah, and Ochocinco are a few who also enjoy getting colorful manicures.

Take a look at the pics below.





 First it was skirts; now it's colorful nails. Who bets the next female turned male trend will be wearing heels? Any takers?

ATL Housewives Kandi Burruss: Me And Todd Are Fine! Bravo Will Film Our Wedding To Prove It!

"I got my mind on my money, and money on my mind..."

Recently ATL Housewives star and entrepreneur Kandi Burruss stopped by Hot 97 to school listeners on how to properly hustle the entertainment industry (specifically as a reality star), and also reiterated on the importance of a prenup.

[Regarding reality shows] "Think more so about…it’s your infomercial. How are you going to make this show sell your business, your product or whatever. [If you don’t have a business] then the only thing you’re to do is just make money off the appearances. You see these celebrities doing appearances at clubs. You can get a grip off that. The first year of the show, I think I made $200,000 within a month or month in a half. If you’re going to go on a reality show, go into it with a purpose. Have a business. Don’t just be happy to be famous. Go in there with your plan already put together."

Kandi's thoughts on a prenup: "It’s an insurance policy. You know, you only pull it out if a disaster happens. So when people get mad and upset, they don’t think as clearly as when they did when they were all in love. So sometimes people do things when they’re hurt, they want to hurt you, or you want to hurt them. So you know, we want to avoid all that, and hopefully we don’t even have to use it."

Catch the interview below.



Kandi may be a pushover and a cry baby at times, but one thing this woman can do is get and protect her money! I'm not mad at ya for that!

P.S. I'm low key happy Todd's going forth with the wedding. I was almost certain next season would be surrounded on Todd getting the heck out of there! After all, everybody has their breaking point.

Ex NFL Star T.O.: I May Be Broke! But At Least I'm Married!

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white...Or dressed in attire appropriate for the court house...

All the single ladies! (Not that any of you care) ex-NFL star Terrell Owens has officially liked it and put a ring on it!

It was first reported that T.O. was secretly engaged to postal worker Rachel Snider a few short weeks ago, but now it seems that the duo have taken the next step in becoming Mr. and Mrs.!

TMZ reports that the the 40-year-old got hitched in a low key ceremony held at a courthouse in Norwalk, CA.

According to reports, the ceremony was so secretive that they didn't even exchange rings, (possible money saver?) and made a fast appearance in and out of the courthouse to avoid media attention.

This will be T.O.'s first marriage, who has four kids from previous relationships; Rachel has one.

Hope this works out. Congrats!
