Jive Records artist Raheem DeVaughn did a showcase at Atlanta’s Sugar Hill nightclub on Thursday September 13. He performed several songs including the lead single “Woman” from his sophomore album LOVE BEHIND THE MELODY due in stores November 27. Folks like Big Tigger, Usher, and senior execs from Zomba Music Group showed up for the occasion! Check out all of the photos after the cut! CONTINUE READING

Not sure when the video comes out, but I stumbled on this when I was searching for it. I was told that it recently premiered on Yahoo! Music or something, but instead, I think they were talking about this particular live performance, which is very good, I might add! Rihanna’s really improved on her live performances. Singing lessons, maybe? I just know that back in the day, hearing her live used to make me cringe. No lie! LOL. Check out the performance above…

 

We haven’t had one of these in the while! A developer and I are working on something really dope for this feature, so within the next couple of weeks … be on the look-out for it! Anyhow, what celebrity couple is pictured here? HINT: We’ve featured them on the site on numerous occasions! Give up? Click below to find out! CONTINUE READING

I just couldn’t bring myself to watch the Emmy’s last night, despite the rumors of Kanye West performing. I figured, “Hey! This is the age of YOUTUBE! It’ll end up on the net within a few hours.” And guess what, it did! Although home boy didn’t perform, he, Wayne Brady, and Rainn Wilson participated in a little skit based off of Wayne’s new show, “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.” Funny shit! Check it out. This was probably the highlight of the entire show, haha!

Since I’m SUCH a nice person, I thought I’d round up some posts from last week that I missed out on posting, so you won’t feel all left out and detached from the gossip world.

JUANITA BYNUM FILES FOR DIVORCE »

I’m sure you guys remember the JUANITA BYNUM STORY we posted about a couple of weeks ago. The well-known televangelist has apparently filed for divorce!

I’m not crying just because I was kicked or I was choked. There’s more to it than that for me. I know that scars heal, but I lost somebody that I loved very much. I know people go through this saying ‘I loved him.’ No, I love him … My love for Bishop Weeks I don’t think will ever die. I said this to someone yesterday, my love for him, separating what I experienced in that parking lot, I have enough love. It’s so much until I THINK I CAN MARRY HIM TWICE, but this one is over.

And that’s not all! Apparently last month’s assault wasn’t the first physical altercation between the two. CLICK HERE for more on that! CONTINUE READING

Another reality show is on the horizon! The Salt-N-Pepa Show premieres Monday, October 15 at 10 PM EST on VH1. Check your local listings for more details. Reality shows are starting to wear thin on me, but I might have to check this one out! Pepa is a trip! I loved her on the Surreal Life.

SANDRA ROSE recently had the chance to speak with Sarah Chapman, the mother of Diddy’s first daughter, who turned one a couple of months ago. So that makes baby number 5, right? Correct me if I’m wrong. Home boy has too many damn kids to not be married or in some sort of serious relationship. Mama combs must be proud =) Click the link above to check out the exclusive interview in its entirety.

If you need to be caught up to speed on what’s going on between Sarah and Kim Porter, visit THIS LINK. Kim apparently had some stuff to say about Sarah, calling her the “other woman.” Last time I checked, for the past few years Kim Porter hasn’t been anything more than the “other woman” herself, lol. Ho sit down…

Oh yeah, one more thing … Diddy sure does know how to pick ‘em! This one’s a looker! Too bad all he does is use them and abuse them.

TMZ recently proved Foxy Brown to be a bold-faced liar! Even though her lawyer announced news of her pregnancy in open court last month, Foxy Brown’s manager recently made the following statement:

And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant.

Well, if that’s the case … someone needs to let Foxy know!!

BEYONCE “WISHES SHE WERE BORN LATINA.”

Beyonce caught a case of the butt-kissies in a recent interview with LATINA MAGAZINE. For those of you who are not in the know, she has an all-new Spanish EP out, entitled Irreemplazable, and she recently sat down to talk with Latina Magazine about it, among other things. Here’s a snippet of the interview.

Latina: How did you learn to sing in Spanish?

Beyonce: I only took classes for a few years in middle school, when you learn to say things like, “Where’s the bathroom?” But, even that helped me with my pronunciation when I got in the studio. I still get a little nervous when I have to do it live, but I’m getting pretty good at it, especially when it has a melody attached to it. I take a lot of time and focus because I want to do it right. I go through everything with Rudy Perez who rewrote my songs in Spanish–he is so incredible and he completely gets it. So I don’t have to correct anything because he’s right on it all the time. Then I learn each line phonetically, how I would say it. It’s hard–my songs are hard enough to sing in English!

…

Latina: What’s one thing that you’d like to tell your Latina fans?

Beyonce: I would thank them for embracing me. I did radio (promotions) this morning for hours and hours and I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine. I’M JUST JEALOUS THAT I WASN’T BORN LATINA. I WISH I HAD BEEN BECAUSE THE CULTURE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I’m very grateful Latinos are embracing me.

Wow, I wonder if she REALLY said that or if they just flip-flopped her words. Anyhow, sometimes she should just do what she was meant to do … and that’s sit there and look cute. With her fine ass…
