The British paps caught a glimpse of rapper Jay-Z as he stepped out of his vehicle to make his way to Radio 1 studios for an interview on the Zane Lowe Show in London, England Tuesday (Jul 21).

A California woman is accusing Yung Berg of giving her a black eye. A young woman by the name of Chelsea Berry says she and Yung Berg met at a pool party at his home back in June and when she and two friends visited his home last Wednesday (Jul 15), things turned a little sour. He was allegedly with three of his friends, someone from his label and another young lady, and after one of Berry’s friends left, she says she and Mr. Dark Butt were “playing around” and he threw her into the pool.

Later in the evening after her second friend left the little get together, Berry stayed behind as she waited for her clothes to dry. That’s when all of the drama went down…

Kelis skipped out on court yesterday due to an emergency: she went into labor! The 29-year-old singer gave birth to a baby boy named Knight Tuesday (Jul 21), as announced by her estranged husband Nas, who we hear wasn’t even allowed in the delivery room!

Nas’ lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan stated that Nas rushed to the hospital to witness Kelis deliver his first son. A source close to Nas told AllHipHop.com that the Queen’s rapper missed the actual child birth.

“Nas is in New York City today, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his son. It was his intention to be there for the birth, but unfortunately he has not been allowed to be present,” a source close to the rapper told AllHipHop.com. “While this is clearly heartbreaking to him, Nas continues to offer his support and love to his new baby boy and his mother.”

Drama, drama, and more drama…

CORRECTION (JULY 23RD): Kelis went into labor Monday (Jul 20) morning at about 2 A.M., but didn’t have the baby until Wednesday (Jul 22) after over 48 hours of labor. According to a statement released by her spokesperson, Kelis went through with a natural birth.

Tyler Perry is reportedly sending 65 Pennsylvania children from a largely minority day care center to an all-expense paid trip to Disney World! The kids were recently denied entry to a swimming pool at a predominately white swim club, known as the exclusive “Valley Swim Club,” located in a suburban area in Philadelphia.

“He wanted to do something nice for them and let them know that for every negative experience, there are people out there who want them to succeed regardless of the color of their skin,” said Keleigh Thomas, Perry’s publicist. She added the entertainer would be footing the bill for all transportation, hotel, admissions and food costs at the Florida theme park.

When Perry heard about the situation with the children in the highly publicized aftermath of the pool cancellation, he immediately wanted to help them, Thomas told CNN, adding that a trip to Disney World is definitely “better than the pool.”

“I am ecstatic for the children,” Alethea Wright, director of the Creative Steps day-care center, told CNN. Perry’s team extended the offer to her on Friday, she said. The Disney World stay will be from August 1 to 3, according to Perry’s Web site.

The pool controversy started after the Valley Swim Club in suburban Philadelphia revoked the swimming privileges for children from the Creative Steps center after one visit on June 29. Some black and Hispanic children said white club members made racist comments to them during that visit, asking why “black children were there” and raising concerns that “they might steal from us.”

Jay-Z finally put that ridiculous rumor of him c*ck blocking Chris Brown’s performance at the BET Awards to rest:

“That’s the silliest rumor I’ve ever heard,” Jay-Z said in a new interview with radio personality Tim Westwood. “First let me categorically deny that, that’s not even my style. I haven’t said anything live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did and that’s it. We’re all flawed human beings, all a person could do is apologize. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. But as far as not letting him perform on BET — that’s ridiculous, that’s stupid and that’s a sucker move. I wouldn’t do it. And people commenting on rumors — that’s a sucker move. I was really sitting back and watching all of them suckers comment on that,” Jay-Z continued. “You don’t comment on rumors. I was watching like, ‘look at them. That’s just so silly. They are all really stupid.’”

Singer Ciara took her now-famous (and equally expensive) blue Lamborghini out for a spin Tuesday (Jul 21) in Los Angeles. Here she can be seen rocking her new haircut and engaging in some retail therapy at Intermix on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood. We’re not so sure if we’re feeling CiCi’s new look. It makes her look a lot older than what she really is…

VH1 is finally bringing back its famed “VH1 Divas” after a four-year hiatus. For its first broadcast, the network will have performances from Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, and… Miley Cyrus.

Past Divas have included Aretha Franklin, Cher, Celine Dion and Mary J. Blige. The only difference is that these singers have been around for decades while this new set of singers have only been around for a few years. Kelly Clarkson has sold over 20 million albums since being the first ever American Idol while Leona Lewis climbed to fame after winning the British reality competition The X Factor. British soul singer Adele won two Grammys earlier this year for Best New Artist and Best Vocal Performance for her single “Chasing Pavements,” While Miley Cyrus is best known for her role on the Disney Channel as Hannah Montana and has scored three chart topping albums with the Hannah Montana soundtracks.

There is seriously something wrong with this picture. Kelly Clarkson is understandable and we would even turn a blind eye to Leona. Adele is a wonderful artist but she hasn’t been around long enough. But Miley Cyrus? What happened to artists like Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Monica, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys … the list goes on. Do you think Miley deserves this honor and will you be watching the concert on September 17th?

Sixth season American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis recently released the first single, “Sad Song,” from his sophomore album Heartbreak on Vinyl. Download the synth/electro pop song below!
