A-List Babies: Alicia Keys Announces Second Pregnancy!

Awe! There's gonna be a lot of celebrating going on in the Keys-Beatz camp!...

The list of expectant mothers just keeps on growing, and most recently added is singer Alicia Keys!

The Givenchy ambassadress recently made the big announcement that she's due for baby number 2 on Instagram, after posting a maternity snapshot of her and hubby Swizz Beatz celebrating their four year wedding anniversary!

In the photo, the glowing songstress is seen wearing an all white Greek goddess gown accessorized with a gold belt (and of course her lovely baby bump) while standing next to, and being cradled by a very "in awe" Swizz.

Underneath the photo, the caption read, "Happy Anniversary to the love of my life @therealswizzz!! And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many more years of the best parts of life!"

This will be the couple's second child together, with their first being 3-year-old Egypt. Alicia is also stepmom to Kasseem Jr., Nasir, and Nicole from Swizz's previous relationships.

Congrats!

Floyd Mayweather Who? Nelly Celebrates Birthday With Shantel Jackson

"Tell me again. Can we be lovers and friiiends?"...

Whether they're homies, lovers or friends both Nelly and Shantel Jackson know how to ring in a birthday!

Jennifer Lopez wasn't the only stunner to turn up for this Leo season, but also Shantel "Ms. Jackson if ya nasty," who was recently caught on her birthday steez with Nelly and some of her close relatives.

Last night, the latest "are they or aren't they" couple took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peak into their love life the festivities that went down, and also spilled the tea that they've been celebrating Shantel's birthday for weeks now!

On one photo uploaded by Nelly he wrote, "Started celebrating this bday weeks ago. First stop, Amsterdam...!!! @missjackson Shhhhhhhh lolol."

Awe, these two are too cute!

Check out more birthday and couple shots from the pair below.

Welp, we don't know if they're together or not, but one thing we do know for sure is...*Looks at Floyd Mayweather* Life. Goes. On.

Jennifer Lopez To Nicki Minaj: My 'Cake' Is Better Than Yours! (Image Inside)

With all the recent hoopla surrounding Nicki Minaj's infamous backside "cake" photo for her latest single 'Anaconda', I thought it would only be fair to cover Jennifer Lopez's astonishing "cake" art too. Well...sort of kind of. Check out what I mean below...

Age "ain' t nothing but a number" and Jennifer Lopez couldn't prove the phrase to be more true as she and a couple of her A-List buddies celebrated her birthday recently.

The star studded bash was held at the Mediterranean restaurant Nammos, and had an intimate guest list of about 60 people including familiar faces Khloe Kardashian and still married boyfriend French Montanna, Khloe's brother-in-law hopefully one day Scott Disick, rapper Fat Joe, J.Lo's longtime manager Benny Medina, and more.

But it wasn't the celebrities or J.Lo's ageless body that stole the show for the night; instead it was the 'I Luh Ya Papi' singer's life size birthday cake! (Yes...life size birthday cake)



The almost five feet long work of edible art, featured the Latino beauty wearing her infamous plunging green Versace gown (that she wore to the 2000 Grammys with P. Diddy) and also featured a Lion which was very fitting for the singer who happens to be a Leo.

Owner Samantha Brooks of SamiCakes Boutique, whipped the lifelike elements together using coconut-cream-filled lemon cake covered in fondant and modeling in chocolate all in just two days!

Jennifer celebrated her 45th birthday.

Ok, so if J.Lo. is 45-years-old looking like that then somebody needs to get their priorities in order. Pronto. *Looks at man in the mirror.*

And just in case you guys were wondering what Nicki Minaj "cake" photo was/is receiving backlash, Here ya go. *Warning* It's explicit (What else is new).

Naya Rivera To Rapper Big Sean: Our Engagement Got Cut So I Could Marry Someone Else!

Somewhere in the world Big Sean's ex-girlfriend Ashley is probably singing "What Goes Around, Comes Around"...

A HUGE congrats (and possibly BIG surprise/shock for Big Sean) are in order for actress Naya Rivera and actor Ryan Dorsey who married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on July 19th.

The Glee star jumped the broom just 3 months after her split from rapper and ex-fiancé Big Sean, and says she and her newfound hubby feel blessed about the decision.

"We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife," the newlyweds told PEOPLE, "Love always prevails."

The longtime friends of 4 years entered matrimony-Dom wearing designer threads with Naya walking down the aisle in a Monique Lhullier gown, and Ryan sporting a Dolce & Gabbana suit. The couple exchanged Neil Lane rings.

The news of their marriage comes days after the couple were spotted vacationing in Cabo.

So let me get this straight: Big Sean leaves his longtime best friend for a woman who eventually leaves him for her longtime best friend?

Sounds like someone went to the bakery and got served a big slice of Karma pie...

Splitsville: Apollo Nida And Phaedra Parks Headed For Divorce?!

I can't say we didn't see this coming...

RHOA co-star and soon to be prison mate (once more) Apollo Nida is speaking out about his recent 8 year jail sentencing, and also revealing details of his strained relationship to wife Phaedra Parks.

Recently Phaedra's hubby (for now at least) stopped by Atlanta's B-100 to express his remorse for going back to the clink, and also discussed the sadness he feels leaving his children behind.

"You know at the end of the day, I am remorseful...I love my kids, and coming from a non-father non-mother background at the end of the day I feel most sad and disappointed that I let my little man (inserts reminder that you have two "little men" here) down."

When speaking on whether or not his relationship with wife Phaedra would be able to stand the test of time while he's away, Nida bluntly responded, "Uh, I doubt it. I mean my wife didn't even f##king show up for my sentencing, so you know what I mean I'm still kind of...I'm still salty about that."

In the meantime, while Apollo's still salty from the no show court appearance, I imagine Phaedra's still salty from his ongoing flirtatious behavior, humiliation to the masses, and lack of support on his end. But hey, like our good friend Kermit says...That's none of my business. *sips from tea cup*

Hopefully things work out for these two...and "dem" babies.

ESPYS Recap: Drake Addresses Chris Brown Beef, Skylar Diggins Crush And More (Video Inside)

Started from Degrassi now we here!...

 After showing off his comedic skills, and the ability to poke fun at himself and others on SNL earlier this year, Drake decided to take his talents to a different arena by hosting the 2014 ESPY Awards!

Wednesday night, the rapper turned host-est with the most-est proved to be on his worst behavior (in the most humorous way possible of course), as he performed skits and monologues that had him taking shots at some of the biggest headlines in sports this year, mocking his "I love Rihanna more" beef with singer Chris Brown, and also getting publicly "friend zoned" by gorgeous WNBA baller Skylar Diggins.

Check out some of Drizzy's best ESPY moments below.






Drake vs. Blake...or Blake vs. Drake skit: Drake and NBA star Blake Griffin channel their inner Eddie Murphy as they competitively go at it with stunts and pranks after not being able agree on a movie title for a film they're set to costar in. Towards the end, Chris Brown makes a cameo as a Doctor making it known that he's definitely pro Blake, and anti Drake.







''Honorable Mentions'' and ''Sidepieces'': Drizzy debuted a couple of new tracks including ''Honorable Mentions'' which promotes the idea that it ain't so bad being number two. He also let it be known that he's still feelin' some type of way about Macklemore sweeping the rap categories at this year's Grammy's (Get over it). For his song ''Side Pieces'' he embarrasses the heck out of any chick knowingly accepting her place as a home wrecker, and brought RnB singer Brian McKnight to close the song towards the end.






Drake's "Can I Dig In" monologue: Drake professes his love to Skylar Diggins in a poem he wrote titled "Can I Dig In?" leaving the WNBA hottie no choice but to put him in the "friend zone." Hopefully this will dead the Aubrey Graham loves Skylar saga once and for all.




Drake impersonates boxer Manny Pacquiao: Probably the best impersonation of the night, Drake gives off the greatest impression of the Filipino boxer singing  Frozen's hit "Let It Go." This was above all ab making and tear worthy laughter here.



The Lance Cam: Drake recreates the infamous NBA eastern conference finals moment when Lance Stephenson awkwardly blows into LeBron's ear during the game. Funny funny funny!

Sneak Peak: Yaya DaCosta Alafia And Arlen Escarpeta As Whitney Houston And Bobby Brown

"We got somethin' in common!"...

Another image from the Whitney Houston LIFETIME biopic has been released, and this time it introduces fans to who'll be playing Whitney's hubby, RnB singer Bobby Brown!

In the image you see Belizean actor, Arlen Escarpet, sporting Bobby B.'s famous "Gumby" hairdo alongside Yaya Dacosta, who has a striking resemblance to the late icon.

Entertainment Weekly recently caught up with Oscar nominated Angela Bassett, who will be making her directorial debut for the film, and asked why she decided to cast DaCosta and Escarpet for the famous roles.

"Because I want you to fall into the world of Whitney and Bobby. And I don’t want to stop you at the gate with maybe the image of something familiar, someone you’ve seen from something else."

Regarding their audition process Bassett said, "It’s not like, Oh my gosh, I have six good choices for Bobby. No, you don’t, you have two. Searching for weeks and only two rise to the top. They had different qualities that are like Bobby. You’ve gotta be like, which way do you want to go? And the same with Whitney. There are maybe one and then another. But Yaya was far and above the only choice, you know."

The biopic is scheduled to premiere sometime next year.



Well one thing's for sure, Yaya and Arlen definitely have the look down. Can't wait to see if their acting matches!

Rapper Yung Joc's Wife: Meet Me At The Court, 'IT'S GOING DOWN!'

Just when you thought the cast from Love And Hip Hop couldn't get anymore outlandish; this happens smh...

Rapper Yung Joc may have given ATL LAHH producers more trash storyline to work with for future seasons, and not with on again off again GF Karlie Redd, but instead with his estranged wife, Alexandria Robinson. (Married eh? Yeaaa, didn't know that either).

According to TMZ, Robinson, who was Joc's high school sweetheart and wife of 13 years, finally had her Mary J. Blige 'Not Gone Cry' moment, and decided to file for divorce. Alexandria is seeking spousal support, child support, and royalties from his music publishing rights (In other words, give me all you got!)

Earlier in this season of LAHH, you'll recall Yung Joc getting into a heated argument with his T.V. sidepiece girlfriend, Karlie Redd over her flirtatious behavior, and also house hunting with her, so the two could take their "relationship" to the next level.

Joc and Alexandria have three kids together, and have been separated since 2012.

About 7 percent of me is interested to hear what Karlie Redd has to say about this. That just went down to 3 percent...2 percent...never mind.

DK3: Danity Kane Performs At Universal CityWalk (Video Inside)

And then there were three..

It was all about flesh colored dominatrix cat suits and thigh high boots at 5 Towers Universal CityWalk Thursday night, as Danity Kane gave their fans a first look at how they get down in 3's since the departure of DK band member, Aundre Fimbres.

Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day, and Shannon Bex gifted fans with a free concert, and served doses of triple hotness performing hits like "Show Stopper" and "Ride For You." The trio also gave haters something to sip on with their latest single, "Lemonade" and "All In A Days Work."

You'll recall last month, Aundre Fimbres was the second member to part ways from the group to focus on her family life.

Peep some of the performances below.

All In A days Work:



Lemonade:



So what did ya think? Hotness or not-ness...

Slammer Chronicles: Rapper Meek Mill To Spend 3 To 6 Months In Jail

And another one bites the dust...temporarily.

Rapper Meek Mill has just been awarded more time to "reflect and expand his creativity" in a place where he won't be distracted, or tempted to break the law; the Philadelphia jailhouse.

 According to TMZ, the Maybach music label mate will have to hold off on any and everything involving his upcoming "Dreams Are Worth More Than Money" album, due to failing to abide by parole guidelines.

Meek was in court this afternoon for allegedly trash talking the District Attorney's office on twitter, scheduling concert dates without getting them pre-approved, changing his cell number, and for posting a photo of himself with a gun (Which is definitely a no bueno for someone who's on parole for gun charges).

The 'I Don't Know' rapper was charged with a 3 to 6 months stay in the city jail after the judge told him, "I didn't want to do this, but you made me do this."

Sources close to the rapper believe he was given an unfair sentencing due to the D.A.'s personal grudge against him, and as a way to throw shade on his album dropping in a few months. (Or, it could just be from violating his parole, but hey; who's asking?)

Meek Mill's "Dreams Are Worth More Than Money" album is set to release September 9th.

Here's to hoping Meek will get out on good behavior...preferably in time for his record release.

Hilariousness: LeBron James' Funniest Cleveland Memes

If these memes don't give you life then I don't know what will...

With LeBron's recent announcement of returning back home to Burnsville Cleveland, the internet has had a field day expressing how they feel about his decision in the form of some of the most hilarious memes!

So whether you're a LeBron fan, a hater, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh; the below is for you.

A-List Babies: Lil Kim Shows Off Daughter Royal Reign (Image Inside!)

Another A-List cutie patootie has arrived!...

"It's better to give than to receive" and that's the exact motto rapper Lil Kim decided to follow for her birthday this year when she gifted her Killer Bee clan with a photo of her precious newborn daughter, Royal Reign.

On Instagram, the original Queen Bee posted a picture of baby Royal with the caption," Thank U to all my fans #TeamLilKim #KillerBees #Beehive & friends for the Birthday love. I Love U guys so much and we will be together soon again. On my Birthday I want to share something special with U all…. The greatest gift I have ever received. My princess, Royal !!!!! This is her first picture on the day she was born. It was life changing and I want to share a small piece of my pride and joy with U on my special day today!!! Love U :) :) !!!! #HappyBirthdayLilKim #Royal #Reign #RoyalReign #TeamCancer"

This is the first child for Kim, who's baby's father is reportedly New York MC Mr. Papers. Yay for the new bundle of joy!

LeBron James To Cleveland: I'm Coming Home!

The King is back home! And this time he might be here to stay; if ya'll (Cleveland) don't burn him out first...

A royal decision has finally been made, and King James has decided to take his throne back to where he thinks it belongs; Cleveland, Ohio! *air tight awkward silence*

The two-time NBA champ made his announcement Friday, to S.I.com in an open letter that read:

"Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart... I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now."

LeBron also took to his Instagram to share the shocking news by posting a picture with the simple caption, "I'm coming home."

So what are his feelings towards his now ex-teammates and the Heat organization? "Nothing will ever change what we accomplished. We are brothers for life. I also want to thank Micky Arison and Pat Riley for giving me an amazing four years."

Welp, there you have it A-Listers. I would normally take this time to give my personal opinion on the matter, but seeing as though my brain only has 3 percent knowledge (or concern) of basketball, I'll leave that debate up to you guys.

Besides, what was the saying a very wise old man once said? Ahh yes! I believe it was, "I'm not a business man, I'm a BUSINESS man!" Bron Bron, continue to do ya thing!

In the meantime, bandwagon-ers...UNITE!

Halle Berry And Jimmy Fallon Make Human Hampster Wheel (Video Inside)

Watch out Gabby Douglas, Halle Berry may be coming for ya!...

Halle Berry has got the looks, the accolades, the talent, and can just about "roll" with anybody; including late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon!

Tuesday night the 47-year-old ageless beauty visited "The Tonight Show" to promote her latest Steven Spielberg-produced television series “Extant,” and also debuted a hidden talent that many of us may not have ever knew existed.

While chatting with Fallon, and shuttin' ALL the youngins' down in a fitted color block black and white dress, the talk show host asked Berry, "Should we show them how we roll?" in which the sexy mother of two replied, "Lets do it."

After removing her stiletto pumps both Halle and Jimmy walked over to a blue gymnastics mat, and what happens next, you'd have to see to believe with your own eyes.

"Extant" debuts tonight (July 9).



Now that's what you call "rollin' with the homies."

The Struggle: Bobby Brown Goes Breathless During New Edition Performance

Somebody please...get this man some H20. Pronto...

The struggle to keep up with the younger RnB crooners of today seems to be very real, and couldn't be proven more true for bad boy singer Bobby Brown.

At a recent show in Mississippi the 'Don't Be Cruel' singer, along with New Edition bandmates tried taking fans back down memory lane with a few 1,2 steps, and almost flatlined...literally.

In video, obtained by TMZ, the once energetic Bobby B. was seen performing one of the band's hits, 'If It Isn't Love,' but  smack dab in the middle of set, decided that it was his "prerogative" to take a slight rest break. After regaining enough wind, the singer jumped back into the groove of things, and continued on with the performance...before walking off stage completely.

Dancing and singing ain't like it use to be eh Bobby?

Watch the breathtaking (pun definitely intended) video below.

Say It Ain't So: Matthew Knowles Slapped With Second Paternity Suit

Ok, this may be getting a little out of hand here...

Beyoncé and Solange may have another little sibling if claims about Matthew Knowles fathering another child outside of his then marriage to Tina Knowles are true. *blank face stare*

According to reports by Buzzfeed and TMZ, a second mistress has stepped forward, and like the first baby's mother, she wants a great financial "destiny" for her "child" too!

The woman, who has been confirmed as TaQoya Branscomb, allegedly filed legal docs in Texas on May 30th, claiming that she too had gotten knocked up in 2010 by poppa Knowles. And the kicker to all of this you ask?! That's the SAME year Tina Knowles high tailed it out of her marriage, and also the year Matthew finally confessed to having a love child with mistress number 1! (Somebody's doing way too much)

Branscomb, a 30-year-old formerly known to someone in the world as a lingerie model, filed petition asking for a DNA test, and child support for her (or their) now 4-year-old daughter.

Sounds like somebody may have "the gift that keeps on giving." Smh.

Here's a shot of what Ms. Branscomb looks like below:

Solange Breaks Silence On Infamous Elevator Incident In LUCKY Magazine

 

Now this is how you properly move on from a scandal. It's clear that this Knowles' ain't worried 'bout nothin'...

LUCKY magazine has released it's August 2014 issue, and who better else to rock the cover other than our favorite 60s inspired fashionista, Solange Knowles!

Inside, the singer dishes on her background dancing days with Destiny's Child, the evolution of her fashion game, and what we've all been anxiously waiting for; the infamous 'oops upside your head' elevator moment. *Popcorn please*

Check out excerpts from the interview, along with some colorful and classy snapshots of the songstress below.



On being a background dancer for Destiny's Child: "I had no idea how to dance hip-hop at the time, I was trained in classical ballet! But it sounded chill and I was going to make a little weekly check and be with my whole family so I said okay."

On the evolution of Solange's fashion sense: "When I look back at old pictures, my dad was always smartly dressed, my mom had the most elegant, beautiful style, and my sister was very into the '90s cross colors look, and I, I just had all of these different things inside of me...I had issues with dressing weather-appropriate. In Houston, it's pretty much always hot. But I was mad I didn't get to have seasonal outfits so I'd wear sweaters and tights anyway. When speaking of her fashion today the singer says she loves dawning Rastafarian looks: red, green, and yellow pieces from some of her favorites brands like Tibi and J. Crew. "It's interesting how the past comes back full circle, and then it becomes more refined."

On the elevator fight she now refers to as "that thing": What's important is that my family and I are all good. What we had to say collectively was in the statement that we put out, and we all feel at peace with that." *Throws popcorn in the trash*
