R&B singer Toni Braxton called into The Wendy Williams Show the other day and Wendy went right in on what everybody wants to know: how is she doing now that she’s “separated” from her husband of 8 years and was the Trey Songz kiss at the Soul Train awards behind their separation?

Toni Braxton: I’m a little sad about it. I really don’t like being separated, I enjoyed being married but we are definitely separated. We’re great friends and we have kids together and we still work together, but um, yeah we are separated.

Wendy Williams: But he was there at the Soul Train Awards.

Toni: Yes.

Wendy: What did he say about that kiss?

Hits Daily Double is projecting that 50 Cent’s new album Before I Self Destruct is only set to push about 150,000 – 160,000 copies, which at 50’s caliber would most likely be considered a “flop,” especially with all of the jokes he makes about other artist’s and their album sales. But despite his album’s new flop status, Curtis says he’s not really worried about it, even though all of his albums prior to this one have sold more than half a million copies in their first week of release.

“Well, the reports from Hits Daily Double, I don’t actually know what to anticipate from the actual sales of this project,” 50 told BET. “It’s obvious, the project just came out a month earlier than what was actually anticipated. The actual project is arguably my best work, to have the general public respond the way they’ve responded to it,” 50 continued. “I haven’t heard anything negative about my choices artistically, so if I was in the space where I absolutely needed finances from the actual sales of the record, it might mean something, but if it offers the material that I can go out and perform and make everyone enjoy themselves as much as I enjoyed myself making it, Ill be happy with it.”

50 Cent’s debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin opened its first week with over 870,000 copies sold, while his next two albums, The Massacre and Curtis sold 1.14 million copies and 691,000 copies, respectively. So yeah … 150,000 is a flop for 50 Cent. Too bad he’s so far in denial he doesn’t realize it!

Rihanna and her BFF/personal assistant Melissa Ford were spotted at LAX airport in Los Angeles Friday (Nov 20) as they made their way through the terminals after touching down in the city.

Even though she and Chris Brown are not allowed to communicate with each other in any kind of way, she says she still finds herself listening to her music. And yes … she actually “misses” him.

“There are a lot of … places that we’ve been to together, music, different things that come up that are reminders of your ex,” the singer, 21, tells the Atlanta radio station Q100. “When [his music] comes on the radio, I don’t … turn it off. I like his music.”

She adds: “I’ve gotten over it, but there are definitely constant reminders … songs that were our favorite songs, or hit songs.”

And is she dating that guy from 90210? Short answer? No. She doesn’t even have his phone number! And she says she’s not even interested in being in a relationship right now.

Here is the full 36 minute video of Janet Jackson’s ABC interview last week with Robin Roberts. In in the interview she said that out of all of her brother’s and sisters, she was closest to Michael. And because of that, it’s very hard for her to even see his new “This Is It” documentary movie. And as far as Dr. Conrad Murray is concerned, she says she believes that he’s responsible for her brother’s death.

Of Michael, she said of his recent documentary, This Is It: “I definitely won’t [see it] right now or [perhaps] ever… [it's] too soon, too hard. It’s hard when I even see the posters for it.” As for his death, she brought up Michael’s physician, Dr. Conrad Murray: ”He was the one who was administering [drugs to Michael]. I think he was responsible.”

Pop star Mariah Carey performed Thursday night (Nov 19) at the official Christmas lighting ceremony at the Westfield Shopping Centre in London, England.

The “imperfect angel” is most definitely living up to her name lately. Can you believe that for this particular event, she actually requested 100 white doves, 20 fluffy white kittens, pink butterfly-shaped confetti, a pink carpet (instead of a red one), a Rolls Royce, 80 security guards and a magical wand? All of this came verbatim from her contract rider, which included mention of her 100 person entourage. The white doves were to be released at some point during the ceremony while the pink butterfly-shaped confetti was to fall on her as she made her way to a pink podium. And to light the tree, she would use some type of “magical wand.” No one knows what the fluffy white kittens were for.

But unfortunately for Mimi, despite her crazy requests, the organizers had to nix anything that involved animals because the Westfield mall said they don’t allow them due to health reasons. The mall said: “We do not allow pets into Westfield – that rule would apply for everyone.”

So it sounds like she just had to get her ass up there and do her job like anyone else would, instead of being so damn extra all the time! Nick must have to put up with a lot of bull…
