The last time we heard about Montana Fishburne — the daughter of world-renowned actor Laurence Fishburne — was a few years back, when she was using a randomly conceived “career” in porn to ruin her family’s good name. Now, it looks like she’s cut her hair, and is running around looking like a new-age Grace Jones.

Photographers “spotted” the 21-year-old walking her dogs on the beach Tuesday afternoon in Santa Monica, Calif. And when she “noticed” people were taking pictures of her, she decided to strip her clothes off and started playing around in the sand (and in the water too) in her lingerie, all while posing seductively for the cameras. An “impromptu beach strip tease,” if you will.

But let’s be honest with ourselves. We all know Montana, apparently starving for some attention right now, called the paparazzi, and this whole thing was planned as an attempt to drum up a little publicity for herself. But I can’t even front … ol’ girl’s body is BANGIN, ESPECIALLY now that she appears to have gotten rid of those nasty black spots that were all over her butt.

Looks like someone has been using their time off the map wisely. Morpheus must be proud.

We all know that her momma is the Queen B, but Blue Ivy Carter is clearly the princess. Beyoncé is known for being protective over Blue Ivy, but every once and a while we get a glimpse of the little lady. And check out that ridiculously cute ballerina tutu!!!

Beyoncé, currently overseas for the international leg of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, recently released this adorable photo on her website showing Blue Ivy sitting in her custom made director’s chair fully equipped with her initials BIC.

Baby Blue has been Beyonce’s little travel buddy while she’s on tour though, so it’s only right for the tiny tot to have her own chair just like her mom’s.

Legendary singer, songwriter, producer, musician, and cat daddy, Prince, closed out the 2013 Billboard Music Awards performances.

While perusing the Twitter, I noticed some 15-year-old Nicki Minaj stan asked what was the “big deal” about Prince? The stan then proceeded to shade Prince fans for being “old.” If only I could’ve virtually cut a switch. Now I love me some Nicki Minaj, but someone pray for that child and all those similar.

For those of you who want to know what the “big deal” about Prince is, start with the reality that he essentially created a whole genre of music unto himself. Then factor in that he’s a celebrated songwriter and musician. Wait, wait…fixate on that last part for another second: musician. Meaning, he can actually play a damn instrument.

So many people call themselves “producers” but they can’t play an instrument, which means they’re not really that much of a producer so much as they are a beat maker. Yes, I’m sounding very “get off my lawn” right now, but evidently it’s needed.

Okay, with that said, just take in for a minute how this little bitty man could rock a stage with nothing more than a guitar and a harem of racially ambiguous women playing behind him.

I’ve seen Prince in concert twice, so while this isn’t even my favorite performance, this remixed version of his classic “Let’s Go Crazy” bests just about everything else I watched on that wack award show last night. Seriously, the 2013 Billboard Awards was like watching the seven levels of EDM hell. I blame your cousins for that, but that’s the subject for another post.

Thank goodness the show closed out with someone who has never ran to David Guetta on some “please, baby , please” give me a dance song so I can pay my rent. So go on and press play, take it in, and appreciate the man’s artistry. Then go listen to “Lady Cab Driver.” You’re welcome.

Who’s the baddest 43-year-old mother of two in the music game? None other than Jennifer Lopez, baby!

The former American Idol judge killed Elmo, skinned his happy ass and rocked his fur as arm covers during her performance at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. Or at least that’s what it looked like.

Rocking a cheeky leotard, J.Lo was jiggling and gyrating in all the right places as she performed her new single “Live It Up.” Hot damn, this is the Jenny from the block that we all fell in love with back in the Fly Girl days.

The best part of the performance was perhaps when Jennifer laid down on her back used her spread legs as part of the performance’s choreography. Forget Kelis’ milkshake, J.Lo’s enchilada is bringing more than just the boys to the yard. It’s bringing the boys, the men and the stud dykes to the old country buffet.

If Lil Wayne wanted one last wish before he went off to heaven, it’d probably be to get this lap dance he got from Nicki Minaj at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

While the song hasn’t done much for Nicki on the Billboard charts, “High School” — her collaboration with mentor Lil Wayne — turned out to be hot like fire when she performed it.

Rocking her original black wig, Nicki kept it real with the streets and took it back to the hood as she popped, dropped and twerked it all over Weezy F. Baby.

The most eye-popping part of the performance was the lap dance when Nicki bent over with the camera right underneath her and proceeded to rub her hands all over her vagina while she writhed and wined.

Forget poppin’ a molly to break out in a sweat, Nicki Minaj and her million-dollar ass will leave you breathless.

The hottest name in the R&B game felt like he had a lot to prove. That explains why he decided to try extra, extra hard. Unfortunately, his stage antics ended up injuring an innocent bystander.

When it comes to the vocals on “Adorn,” Miguel‘s buttery smooth interpretation of the lyrics hit the spot.

In the live performance of the song at the Billboard Music Awards, Miguel rocked out with his…well, you know. And it was all good until he decided to get physical with the crowd. In short, he wanted to leap over the audience. Instead, he misjudged his jump by a bit and ended up clobbering a woman with his ass and crotch.

But hey, at least the first 3 minutes went off without a hitch!

Justin Bieber showed off some slick dance moves as he took the Beliebers on a journey aboard Bieber Air during his performance of “Take You” at the 2013 Billboard Awards, as chosen by his fans in an online poll via Twitter.

Soon after, the Biebs was onstage once again to accept the award for Top Male Artist, beating out Drake, Flo Rida and Bruno Mars. Justin also took home the new “Milestone Award,” which was chosen by the fans.

Appearing to speak directly to his ‘haters,’ Justin said while accepting the latter: “I’m 19 years old. I think I’m doing a pretty good job. And basically, from my heart, I just really want to say it should really be about the music. This is not a gimmick. I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously, and all this other bull should not be spoken of.”

As The Hollywood Reporter noted, Bieber’s vitriolic speech was met with both cheers and boos, and it wasn’t clear whether or not his “message” got through. It probably didn’t though, because other than the Beliebers (and Usher) no one takes Justin Bieber that seriously.

Later, when Taylor Swift was asked in the press room about her thoughts on Bieber winning the Milestone Award at such a young age — over her and Bruno Mars — the 23-year-old singer quipped back with: “Can we have another question, please?”

LOLz! Clearly, your homegirl Tay-Tay was not there for that question.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are the “new kids” of the music industry, so it’s no surprise that they weren’t able to partake in the 2013 Billboard Music Awards festivities inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena like everyone else.

Instead, the duo was relegated to the Wynn Las Vegas hotel down the street where they performed their hit single “Thrift Shop,” and also accepted their award right after when they won Best Rap Song, a category in which they beat out Kanye West, PSY and Flo Rida.

“First of all, we gotta thank Goodwill, we gotta thank Value City!” Macklemore said to laughs from the crowd, adding to the group’s fans, the Shark Face Gang, “Without you guys, we would not be on this stage right here … We love you and appreciate you.”

WATCH MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS’ BILLBOARD AWARDS PERFORMANCE HERE:

In addition to winning a whopping six Billboard Music Awards (out of the 11 she was nominated for), America’s country-pop sweetheart Taylor Swift took to the BBMA stage and performed her new single “22″ for the first time on national television.

Tay-Tay kicked off her set backstage, then, with the help of her backup dancers, worked her way through the audience to the main stage where she attempted to get all choreographic and stuff alongside the Jabbawockeez.

You can tell Taylor has been sticking to a certain “formula” for her awards show performances, and it seems to be working for her pretty well.

Watch Taylor Swift perform her latest single “22″ at the 2013 Billboard Awards here:

Bless Christopher Maurice Brown’s heart for attempting to sing “Fine China” live, but he sounds like he’s gargling hot and sour soup throughout half the set. Chris Brown himself admitted that his vocals were off a bit. Afterward, he tweeted:

Lil hoarse for the performance but it happens. Good shit otherwise.

— Chris Brown(@chrisbrown) May 20, 2013

Well, that’s one way of putting it.

Listen, y’all, as far as I’m concerned, in the future Chris Brown just needs to give us a pre-recorded vocal ala Janet Jackson and then proceed to dance his ass off.

Though he may display solid vocal ability on most of his studio recordings, he doesn’t duplicate those vocals very well in a live setting. Don’t stab me Team Breezy, but pretty boy rock’s falsetto isn’t strong enough to carry him to the promised land — especially not when he’s doing that hyperactive choreography.

Then again, maybe part of the hoarseness can be attributed to the other herbal essence. I’ll never understand singers who love to smoke weed (and/or cigarettes too). What part of the game is that?

Whatever the cause of Chris’ hoarseness was, it makes me long for the days when dance artists could freely mime on stage without fear of being called out for lip syncing. Michael Jackson was good for pop locking at an awards show without even pretending to be singing live, and we didn’t give a damn because MJ was shamoaning and shimmying like his life depending on it.

We need to give Chris Brown that same courtesy. Hell, give yourself that same courtesy, Chris, ’cause you shoving the microphone away from your mouth every other minute due to you being out of breath isn’t it.

All that said, at least Chris Brown didn’t nearly injure anyone near the stage like The Superfly Jimmy Snuka of Soul Miguel did.

Maybe you have to be born after 1995 to get into this, but I don’t see it for Selena Gomez‘s performance of “Come Get It” at this year’s Billboard Awards. Don’t get me wrong. Selena seems like a lovely girl. I even like her Rihanna-reject single. What I don’t get, though, is why she’s dancing as if she just learned how to walk five minutes before someone tried to teach her this choreography.

I mean, I understand that this kind of dancing is hard. Many of us could dance Diamond from The Players Club, but can’t give you old school Britney Spears even if we were working with Jesus’ feet. Speaking of, I miss vintage Britney. The one who used to move her legs. After this performance, I miss that Britney now more than ever. Clearly, it may take a while before some other rhythm-enhanced white girl fills the void of the legendary Ms. Britney Spears.

I know Selena is trying. In fact, you ought to know Selena is trying too, considering it’s pretty obvious that she is counting her steps throughout the entire performance. Still, try harder, girl. As I said, I enjoy the song and I think she’s the cutest lil’ thing. However, if you’re going to keep recording songs along the lines of “Come & Get It” and plan to perform them in public, you’ve got to learn how to properly pop that thing.

Better luck next time, Ms. Gomez.

The best thing about awards shows is the unpredictable nature of the format. Because artists know fans have their eyes glued for those “unexpected” moments, they often go the extra mile to spice things up. Miguel, unfortunately, might have taken things a little too far at the Billboard Awards.

While performing his smash R&B hit “Adorn,” Miguel wanted to close out on a high note so he rushed the audience and attempted to leap over the crowd. But he didn’t get enough ups and ended up landing crotch-first on some poor girl’s head.

WATCH THE VIDEO FOOTAGE HERE:

I hope Miguel is lawyered up because I have a feeling ol’ girl is about to sue his ass something serious. That was pretty much a testicular assault that happened right before our eyes.

Next time, Miguel, leave the gymnastics to the professionals.

UPDATE: Miguel posted the following to his Twitter page (in regards to his accidental “leg drop”):

Fresh off of an early release from 28-month prison bid, Ja Rule has recently been updating his Instagram with a ton of new pictures, but this one particular picture stands out the most. Why?

Because dude is RIPPED! What, did this guy eat the real Ja Rule or something? Real talk … he looks like he could seriously kicked 50 Cent’s ass. And is that Noreaga with him? Didn’t he used to be fat? Talk about changes…

Ja Rule was arrested along with Lil Wayne following a joint concert back in 2007 for gun and drug possession. While Wayne was able to serve his time in 2010, Rule, for whatever reason, didn’t serve his time until after he was sentenced in December of the same year.

Ja Rule turned himself in to authorities at Rikers island on June 8th 2011. He was later moved to a state facility in Upstate New York, and while there, in July, Rule received an additional 28-month prison term for tax evasion because he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million on money he earned between 2004 and 2006.

Rule’s term for tax evasion ran concurrently with his state term. In February 2013, he was released from prison after serving his time for the gun charge, but was immediately taken into federal custody because he had six months left remaining on the jail sentence for his tax case.

Rule — who was being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York — wasn’t set to be released until July 2013, but he was sprung from prison early on May 7th for good behavior.

Check out some of the pics he’s been sharing on Instagram recently here:

Oh Kimberly. Kimberly, Kimberly, Kimberly. Why must you provide so much fodder for these blogs?

We have absolutely zero words for this, so we’ll just let our homegirl Fresh over at Crunk + Disorderly tell it:

Kim Kardashian stuffed her swollen feet inside a $2,950 pair of Givenchy Albertina podium heels for an afternoon out with mom Kris Jenner in Los Angeles yesterday. At last, your great-aunt pearl and someone on the E! channel finally have something in common. She paired the sandals with a white open sleeve dress from the same designer. House Mother Kanye would have it no other way.

The new “Arrested Development” trailer features all of our favorite Bluth family members — played by Jason Bateman, Portia De Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, David Cross, Tony Hale, and Jeffrey Tambor.

Unfortunately, the promo is stuffed with repeats of old jokes and a few head scratching plot points that involve very large birds. George Michael (Cera) still has an inappropriate relationship with his cousin Maeby (Shawkat). We know this because they appear to be college roommates. Buster (Hale) is still a weirdo. Lindsay (Rossi) is still cold and incapable of expressing affection for her “never-nude” husband Tobias (Cross). G.O.B. (Arnett) is still trying to impress women with his lame magic tricks. The list goes on…

There has been a great deal of anticipation for the new season and sadly the trailer doesn’t live up. Hopefully, it’s not an adequate preview of what we can expect.

On the flip side, if it ain’t broke… you may be able to get away with recycling the same jokes, especially well-loved jokes.

Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, “Arrested Development” debuted in 2003 and earned rave reviews. There was just one problem, no one was watching. The show was canceled after its third season in 2006.

Yet in the years that followed, the show gained a cult following. Advances in home entertainment led the off-beat comedy to become even more popular and sparked talk of a film version.

Now recognized as one of the best shows of all time, “Arrested Development,” will make a comeback on May 26th after a eight-year hiatus when 15 new episodes of the show debut on Neflix.

Lucky for us, several of the show’s notable guest stars, like Judy Greer, Henry Winkler, and Liza Minnelli will reportedly be reprising their roles. Other high profile guest stars include Kristen Wiig, Isla Fisher, and John Slattery.

Check out the Season 4 trailer here:

Considering she cursed out her co-worker on her job, routinely takes jabs at her peers, and has a knack for snapping on anyone who asks her a question she doesn’t care for, it’s not surprising to hear Nicki Minaj say she doesn’t give a damn whether people in the industry adore her.

In her Teen Vogue cover story, Nicki says this about the entertainment industry:

“People treat this business like it’s high school. It can absolutely feel like one big popularity contest, and you know what? I can’t be bothered. I can’t allow myself to play ridiculous games with grown adults in the industry. I can’t be nice to someone just because they’re hot right now. I can’t do it.”

Somewhere Mariah Carey is going, “No shit, dahling.”

On how her childhood influenced the way she deals with people now:

“Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I’d have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time: Are people going to like or hate me? … Sometimes there’d be a fight, sometimes not. I let people know I wasn’t going to be pushed around.”

There’s a way to show assertiveness without coming across as Hip-Hop’s Cruella de Vil. Sometimes Nicki straddles that line well; other times she leaps across the line and pushes everyone out of her way. On the latter, you know, HB, they have this magical thing called therapy that helps you overcome poor interpersonal skills attributed to your past. Just a thought.

On how Nicki learned to stop reading everything people say about her on the Internet:

“My journey to who I am today began on MySpace. I love getting real opinions from people.

“I used to read the bad things people said about me,” says Minaj, a regular on Twitter. “Then I asked myself, ‘Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?’ You cannot give negativity power.

“I tell teens, if you’re having a problem, there’s nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it’s poison.”

OK, I have nothing sarcastic or jackass-like to say here. She actually makes a pretty really good point!

Britney Spears is headed to Las Vegas, y’all! Rumors have been swirling for the past year, but Britney has finally confirmed her Las Vegas residency and it’s going to be a huge party. And we all know Britney Spears can party.

Spears said in the latest issue of Shape Magazine (which she’s featured on the cover on):

“I’m doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio — hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez … The [Vegas] performances won’t be simple — they’ll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed.”

Britney is back, bitch!

Following the 2013 Met Gala Monday night (Apr 6), Rihanna tweeted a pic of Nicole Richie with the caption: “This bitch makes me throw up.”

This bitch makes me throw up!! #bestdressed#2013metgala @nicolerichie instagram.com/p/ZAXVlghM9r/

— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 7, 2013

But RiRi’s public dig wasn’t an insult at all. The pop star actually meant that Richie’s look was “sick” and even used the hashtag #bestdressed.

Despite how Rihanna may have meant it, anyone who saw Richie’s “Bride of Frankenstein” look would probably conclude that it’s pretty gag-worthy. She looks like a struggling actor who was forced to take a job at a haunted house scaring teenagers.

Rihanna must have known that the post would cause a stir, so it’s unclear why she did it. Perhaps she felt she needed even more attention.

It’s also surprising that the “Stay” singer tore herself away from her Twitter war with Chris Brown.

On Tuesday, Rihanna, who split from Brown a few weeks ago, tweeted:

Settling is not an option! Nothing less than 100% loyalty, honesty, and respect!! Love ain’t for kidz #butimsleeptho

— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 7, 2013

To which Brown replied:

Sometime loving someone is too much! So loving from a distance will help everyone grow! Be blessed. Live ya life!

— Chris Brown(@chrisbrown) May 7, 2013

As Hollywood Life reported, the sultry Barbadian singer broke it off with Brown after she discovered that he had partied with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche in NYC.

Kelly Rowland shows off that bangin’ body of hers on the cover of her new album ‘Talk A Good Game.’

In the black-and-white image, Kelly goes braless as she strikes a seductive pose, wearing nothing but a sheer top and black panties, and using her hair to cover her breasticles. They say “sex sells” so whatever she’s selling, I’M BUYING!

Led by the Mike Will Made It-produced single “Kisses Down Low,” and also featuring collaborations with The Dream, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell and her Destiny’s Child sisters Beyonce and Michelle Williams (for the reunion record “You Changed”), Rowland’s fourth studio album is due in stores on June 18th.

In related news, Kelly will kick off her “Lights Out” tour with The Dream in Minneapolis later this month on May 23rd.

In a strange twist of “Have you looked in the mirror lately, girl?” news, Miley Cyrus announced that doesn’t think pop stars need to sexualize themselves to sell their music.

In a new interview with Elle UK, the former tween sensation criticized women in music who often appear in a state of undress.

Nevermind the fact that she posed for Vanity Fair wearing nothing but a sheet at the age of 15, or straddled a striper pole while performing at the Teen Choice Awards in 2009, when she was just 16.

“A star is someone who doesn’t have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power. Sex does sell, but you have to find a way that’s not just showing your tits. I don’t want to be a glorified model. They just walk on stage and it’s all about their clothes – or lack of clothes,” Cyrus said.

Oddly enough, Cyrus had no problem shedding her clothes for a recent V Magazine shoot. We’re sure having your breasts and ass out constitutes someone who has taken her “clothes off.”

Not that a gal doesn’t have the right to freely express her sexuality but it’s a bit stupid to insult others that do while you’re pulling your pants down and showing off your glorious ass crack.

Just saying.

If you’ve been doing absolutely nothing but waiting for Farrah Abraham‘s sex tape to hit the web, a nice teaser has arrived just for you!

TMZ has obtained some artful still shots of the “Teen Mom” star in the throws of passionate lovemaking with porn star James Deen. Just kidding! They’re as sleazy as it gets, but you probably already knew that.

The pics show the reality star in her bra and panties and in various poses. We’re treated to mouth wide open Farah, bending Farah, moaning Farah, and more!

If you’ve somehow managed to avoid news of this tape (in which case, congrats on waking up from your coma), Farrah and Deen shot the pornographic vid in April and were supposed to pull an “Oops, my sex tape leaked onto the internet.” But alas, the plan was foiled when Deen blabbed to the media about it. Porn stars … you never can count on ‘em.

News later emerged that Farah sold the tape to Vivid Entertainment for nearly $1 million.

Oh and get this … the tape is titled “Farrah Abraham: Backdoor Teen Mom.”

We’re sure her daughter will be proud when she grows up and finds out what the Internet is, and what mommy did with it.

Kevin Spacey was out jogging in Boston on Monday morning when he came across a woman who was having her picture taken. And since he’s a famous actor and all, Spacey decided to practice the art of “photobombing” — which is when you take it upon yourself to hop into someone’s picture right as the shutter goes off, preserving your unwanted presence in their personal photo for a lifetime.

It works even better when you don’t even know the person (or persons) you’re photobombing! Like in Kevin Spacey’s case, for instance. Hilarious!

“Apparently he jogged up, shouted ‘PHOTOBOMB!’ and then ran off laughing,” a friend of the photobombed woman wrote in a comment on Reddit, where the image was originally posted.

Several Redditors have commented on how risky it was for Spacey to shout the word “bomb” in Boston while running (on a Monday, of all days), which when you think about it, sounds really really bad … but since K-Space is a celeb, he’s above suspicion.

That being said, we wouldn’t recommend any of you regular people trying anything like that anytime soon. At least not in Boston.

The ever-expanding Kim Kardashian took a quick trip to Paris Tuesday (Apr 30) to catch up with her babydaddy Kanye West.

There have been rumors that the two haven’t spent much time together during Kim’s pregnancy, but Kanye made up for any lost time by treating his boo thang to a high-end shopping spree.

The couple hit up Givenchy and other luxury fashion boutiques while the French paparazzi snagged as many pictures of the celebrity couple as they could.

Kanye, who was not in the mood for no paparazzi, snapped at one of the paps when he dared to ask Kim how her recent family trip to Greece was.

“Don’t ask us no questions,” Kanye said.

Damn, bro. Why you mad?

The struggle, as they say, continues for hip-hop founder and archivist Lil Kim.

The rapper hasn’t yet pulled together a new album out of her magic hat, but Kim is still hard at work on the road delivering them hits to her fans. When she feels like it.

Rap-Up was there at the Gramercy Theater for her stop in NY. The singer wore a cringe-worthy red onesie that looked like a vise was needed to squeeze her into.

The end result has Lil’ Kim looking like an overcooked and overstuffed Vienna sausage. Why won’t Kim realize that smedium is not a good look on her porky petite body frame?

As if the outfit wasn’t bad enough, Kim’s stagecraft looked to be in equally sad shape as she stumbled through her set, out of breath and with very little stamina. She pretty much looked pregnant with fail and misery throughout her show. Won’t somebody, anybody help Lil’ Kim help herself?

Okay. At this point, Amanda Bynes‘ public meltdown is getting old, but sadly it’s like an awful glittering, overly made-up car wreck that no one can look away from. The former “All That” star and current psychopath took to Twitter on Thursday to reveal that she has shaved her head. We would gasp but that sounds about right.

For someone that keeps complaining that her privacy has been invaded, Bynes sure loves generating publicity for herself (however negative it is), so it was only a matter of time before she pulled a stunt like this just so that blogs very much like the one you’re reading right now would post about it.

The driving-challenged walking joke posted:

I buzzed half my head like @cassie! No more old photos! This is the new me! I love it! twitpic.com/clx36u

— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) April 25, 2013

The tweet was accompanied by a blurry pic of the star sporting a semi-shaved head and a turtleneck sweater. To be honest, it’s one of the better photos she’s posted but that may just be because the others were just that horrendous.

We’re going to assume that the proclamation “No more old photos!” means that Bynes is still instructing the media not to use photos she doesn’t approve of. Because, as we all know, members of the press typically consult with the Queen of Crazy before they decide what images of her to use.

Catching the entire Carter family with Blue Ivy is an occasional treat that rabid Beyoncé fans live for and the family’s latest jaunt to Paris for Beyoncé’s world tour provided the BeyHive with a much needed fix.

Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy were spotted by the paparazzi at Septime restaurant in Paris and lil’ Blue was recorded showing off some of the personality that Beyoncé told Oprah she has.

“She is hilarious and she is fire. Lord, am I going to have me a time!” Beyoncé said in her interview earlier this year. “She’s very smart. She’s already reading flashcards. She’s beautiful.”

While mommy gushes about her baby, there’s no denying that Blue’s also a daddy’s girl. Several of the shots show papa Jay holding his babygirl and smothering her with kisses.

Ever the stylish family, Blue Ivy showed off her Pump Up The Volume t-shirt, dark jeans and black and pink Adidas sneakers. In the words of her Uncle Kanye, Blue is drippin’ swagu. We see a future superstar in the making!

While there are a thousand and one things to love about “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”, one of the main things viewers glommed on to was the Master Splinter face that Stevie J made. The good news is his progeny appears to have picked up on this unique trait.

Mimi Faust, Stevie’s babymama and almost-wife (at least by common law standards), uploaded a photo of their baby girl Eva doing her daddy’s signature “rat face” on Instagram.

There sure as hell ain’t no fakin’ the funk with this one cause it’s straight up a case of like father, like daughter. No Maury necessary.

If people were worried that Stevie J’s rat face would die with him, have no fear, it will live on in Eva. She’s probably gonna get tired real quick of people asking her to make the face though.

Let’s hope they don’t burn the poor baby out before she hits her teen years with this party trick.

Keep it moving, people nothing to see here! This is JUST a photo of Rihanna covering her beautiful breastesses with a white towel as she gets her hair and makeup done before her concert in Atlanta the other night.

Rihanna, currently on the road performing for her “Diamonds World Tour,” tweeted the photo along with the following caption:

Fans at the Paris concert from Beyonce‘s Mrs. Carter Show World Tour got a taste of something new from Queen B when the singer performed “Grown Woman” for the sold-out crowd at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy.

Clad in a colorful costume, Beyonce took the crowd through an energetic set, showing off an entirely new set of infectious dance moves. At one point, her dancers put a blindfold around her head, and she still killed it … even though she couldn’t see a thing!

We first got a listen of “Grown Woman” when Beyoncé debuted her Pepsi Mirrors commercial. Many people wondered if “Grown Woman” would be Beyonce’s first single off her upcoming fifth studio album, but her reps told Billboard it wasn’t.

As far as the album as a whole is concerned, Bey’s BFF Gwyneth Paltrow says its “coming.”

“I’ve heard a lot, lot, lot of many songs,” Paltrow said in an interview with Digital Spy. “I don’t  know which ones have ended up on the album, but I’ve heard a lot as it’s gone  on.”

“Yes, it’s coming,” Paltrow added. “She’s almost done but she’s got a lot on  her plate.”

Well if “Grown Woman” is anything to go by, fans are in for some amazing material from the Queen B. The tribal, pulse-pounding track has all of the swagger we expect from a Beyonce record plus the energy of something straight out of Michael Jackson’s catalogue.

There has been a surprising totally predictable new development in the Lindsay Lohan saga. Dlisted is reporting that the troubled actress was in New York on Tuesday doing what she does best: showing up late and stooping to new lows in an attempt to stay afloat financially.

Lindsay reportedly arrived 45 minutes late to the Broadway production of “Orphans,” starring Alec Baldwin and Ben Foster (who replaced Shia LaBeouf). The actress is said to have attended the play with her “sugar daddy” — who just so happens to be none other than billionaire Saudi businessman and film producer Mohammed Al Turki.

Lindsay Lohan and Mohammed Al Turki pictured here at the event with Alec Baldwin.

As The Daily Mail notes, this isn’t the first time LiLo and MoMo have stepped out together. Lindsay was accompanied by Mohammad to New York’s annual amfAR gala back in February, and the pair also attended Lady Gaga’s NYC perfume launch last September.

Perhaps she’s using him as a means of avoiding financial ruin and getting roles in films that aren’t crappy Lifetime movies or pieces of garbage like say…”Scary Movie 5.”

Whatever the reason, Lohan will have to get as much as she can out of this “relationship” before May 2 because that’s when she’s set to check into a 90-day rehab program.

Judging from a report that surfaced a couple of days ago, Lohan really needs it.

On Monday, Radar online broke a story claiming that Lohan snorted cocaine in a public bathroom stall right in front of blogger Nik Richie. The incident is written about in Richie’s new book “Sex, Lies & Dirty.”

Here’s an excerpt:

“The PR girl opens the bathroom door for us to walk through and stands guard outside,” Richie writes.

“It’s candlelit, but the light makes my pupils shrink. Lindsay goes straight for the toilet, pulling her dress up and sitting (no underwear) and one of her breasts is hanging out the top of the dress.

“I start to wash my hands and she asks me, ‘So, what’s your story?’ before doing an uneven line of coke off her wrist.

“I say, ‘Nothing… just, y’know… partying.’”

“I’m watching Lindsay do coke to my right, that pale tit hanging out, and it takes a couple of seconds to kick in that it’s intentional. I’m supposed to see this. She wants me to. And she’s doing more coke, raising her eye-brows at me like, ‘Want some?’ She sniffs. Snorts. She swabs a little in her mouth and I’ve heard about this kind of thing on TV and in the papers, but it’s different seeing it: the chick from ‘Mean Girls’ doing blow on the toilet next to me. She’s not the same girl anymore. Something’s changed. She’s lost her way and seeing it is freaking me out.”

Sure, this was way back in 2009 but we’re going to bet that not much has changed since then.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when it comes to People magazine’s editorial staff, exactly whose eye was doing the beholding when they decided to put Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of their annual “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” issue?

Yesterday, it was announced that Apple and Moses’ mom — who, along with her husband Chris Martin, also just so happens to be marital BFFs with Beyonce and Jay-Z — was given the title of “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” by People magazine.

Coincidentally, GOOP’s bestie Beyonce was given that title last year, so we’re sure Gwynnie is totally honored to follow in the footsteps of Queen B.

We’re not saying Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t an “attractive” woman or a “pretty” woman, but “BEAUTIFUL” might be giving her a bit too much. Besides, NO ONE BESIDES BEYONCE, JAY-Z, CHRIS MARTIN, APPLE AND MOSES EVEN LIKES GWYNETH PALTROW and all of her uppityness.

Maybe Stevie Wonder was able to choose this year’s cover girl?

Anyhoo … here’s some highlights from Gwyneth’s interview with People:

She may be PEOPLE’s 2013 Most Beautiful Woman but Gwyneth Paltrow insists her kids, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7, don’t see her as anything but mom.

“Around the house, I’m in jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t really wear makeup. That’s what they’re used to,” she says. As for her husband, Chris Martin, “He’ll make a joke about it. If I’ve gotten fully dressed up, he’ll be like, ‘Oh, wow! You’re Gwyneth Paltrow!’ Because he’s used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair.”

And Paltrow wouldn’t have it any other way. With her second cookbook, It’s All Good, debuting at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and her next film, Iron Man 3, hitting theaters on May 3, Paltrow credits her workout routine for keeping her looking youthful and less tired.

“It makes me look younger and feel strong,” says the actress, who does the Tracy Anderson Method five days a week. “When I first started, I thought, ‘I’ll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!’ But now it’s like brushing my teeth, I just do it.”

More importantly, she hopes to instill a good body image in both her kids, especially now that her daughter is starting to become interested in things like makeup. “When we’re home sometimes, she’ll put on mascara. And sometimes I’ll let her wear something out to dinner – but just a little dab,” she says.

“Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she’ll feel.”

Yeah. Congrats to GOOP, and all that. But we just don’t see it. Sorry.

Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Lawrence and others were also contenders for People’s “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” title, so why did they chose GOOP out of all of those beautiful women?

The world may never know…

So it turns out that the biggest problem in Lil Scrappy‘s life right now isn’t his love triangle with his babymama/fiancee Erica Dixon and his “best friend” Shay Johnson. It’s actually his (alleged) drug habit. Scrappy had to turn himself in to Atlanta police on Tuesday April 23 after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Here’s the thing; when it comes to hip hop, going to prison is a street cred move. Some people even go back for repeat visits for extra credit like DMX and T.I., and more recently Gucci Mane. But in order for this to work as a G thang, it’s gotta be for a crime worth bragging about.

On that front, Scrappy’s turning himself in to police after a warrant was issued for his arrest following his refusal to take a urine test back in March doesn’t quite measure up.

According to a report from TMZ, Scrappy turned in a urine sample that was cold to the touch which raised red flags for law enforcement officials. So they asked him to submit a fresh sample and he refused.

Guess Scrappy knew that the results of that test would not be in his favor so he punted.

So he opted to turn himself in. But Scrappy didn’t go down quietly. He turned himself in with style and grace as he had his fiancee (are they still engaged???) on one side and his wack-a-doddle mother Momma Dee on the other.

The deranged pimp/grandma even had a “Free Scrappy (in that order)” t-shirt handy for the paparazzi’s cameras. The good news is that nothing was misspelled this time. Y’all know Momma Dee be mixing up her consonants and things.

No word yet on how long Scrappy will be holed up in prison. Hopefully it isn’t too long, we wouldn’t want him to miss out too much on all the ratchet good times on LHHA.

Beyonce is currently overseas for her “Mrs. Carter Show” World Tour and pictures from the tour book have been released, showing off the singer’s stunning and bold artistic vision for her next era.

In some of her fiercest looks to date, Beyonce shows off a totally new side in the tour book. Her looks range from urban chic, to Victorian regal, to divine ancient Egypt.

Many of the photos are in black-and-white, but the ones that do have color pop with neon brightness. The photos of her doused in all-white paint are sure to make the conspiracy theorists foam at the mouth about the illuminati symbolism hidden within it.

But never mind the haters. We can definitely see why she is the one and only Queen B!

Storm is back!

Yesterday, a brand new picture was revealed of Halle Berry back in her Storm costume for “X-Men: Days of Future Past” — the seventh installment in the “X-Men” series.

Berry talked earlier this year about reprising her role as the silver-haired, superhero, confirming the longstanding rumor.

“It’s a character that I love and the fans really love the whole series,” she said on The Tonight Show. “They really love Storm. It’s like family. It’s fun to get back together with Hugh and everybody. It’s good fun.”

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” hits theaters on July 18, 2014 and also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Hugh Jackman, Michael fassbender, James McAvoy, Ellen Page, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, and Patrick Stewart.

It’s not even her birthday, but she wanna lick the icing off. No, I’m not talking about Rihanna‘s hit song “Birthday Cake,” I’m talking about the marijuana cake she got from a fan for 4/20.

Although it’s not an official holiday, potheads are dead serious about getting their celebration on for the unofficial day of weed: April 20.

Since Rihanna has made it no secret that she is a fan of the ganja, a fan sent RiRi a cake with a little happy marijuana plant on it. She shared the baked (HA!) good with her followers on Instagram:

What did I do to deserve the epicness that is my fans??!!! @janiseeaileen gyal you a real top shotta!!!!! Thank you for lighting up my day, no pun intended!! #420Life

No word on if there was actual weed in the cake, but Rihanna sat back and took a puff in honor of the spirit of Mary Jane on Instagram.

#420 it’s a celebration bitches!! Thank you to all my ft. Lauderdale and Miami fam that came through #DWT #backstageLife

Later on, Ratchet Rihanna hit up the strip club and shared photos of herself making it rain on them hoes. She plugged in some side promo for her track “Pour It Up” at the same damn time too.

I still got my money #420

Wild for the night, phuck being polite!

OK, exactly how long is Rihanna going to live life as Rick Ross instead of being the global, female pop superstar she really is? This whole “get money and bitches” thing might have been cute at first, but it’s kind of wearing out its welcome at this point.

Why does it feel like Rihanna had more brains and intelligence to offer 3 years ago than she does now? Isn’t wisdom supposed to come with age? So why does age only seem to bring ratchet into Rihanna’s life?

Also, wasn’t she just sick and canceling shows? Way to show your dedication to your craft, RiRi. Maybe if you spent less time trying to keep up with Meek Mill and them, you’d be healthy enough to keep your fans entertained and stop pissing on their loyalty.

What better way to show your love for the man you just had a baby with than to get their face tattooed on your body? I’m guessing that’s what Amber Rose was thinking when she decided to get Wiz Khalifa‘s face tattooed on her arm.

She showed off a picture of the newest addition to her collection of body art on Instagram yesterday along with the caption:

“True Love Cam & Amb”

Is it just me, or does Wiz Khalifa look high as a kite in that picture?

Wiz and Amber just welcomed their first child together — Sebastian Taylor Thomaz — back in February.

When ratchet meets ratchet, only magic can happen. Momma Dee and Mama Jones are back together again and no dollar store is safe.

Atlanta-based photographer FreddyO got the two hip hop mamas together for a lunch out at Mojo’s Motown Eatery. They played together, they smiled together and they served mean face to the cameras.

Poor Mama Jones was a bit of a mess as the red hair dye she had was smothered all over her forehead. Million-dollar question: Was Mama Jones wearing Pumkash?

Jennifer Aniston made an appearance at the premiere of “Call Me Crazy: A Five Film” wearing a trendy ensemble that included cute pumps, black shorts and a black and white top. But it was the circular marks on the star’s back that has had everyone talking for the last few days.

According to E! Online, the marks appear to be the result of cupping therapy, which consists of using “glass bulbs filled with heat” to “remove toxins and ease muscle tension.”

It’s supposed to some ancient Chinese form of alternative medicine, but from the looks of the photos of the procedure published by the Mirror … it looks pretty gross (and very painful) but a lot of famous people with money to burn do it, like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and our frugal friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

As you know, Aniston is currently preparing for her upcoming nuptials to Justin Theroux — a man who needs to apologize to the public for co-writing the steaming train-wreck that is “Rock of Ages.” But I digress.

“Call Me Crazy,” which Aniston directed for Lifetime, stars Jennifer Hudson and will make its debut on April 20.

NFL free agent Kerry Rhodes has probably received more press this month than he has over his entire career … and it has nothing to do about his skills on the football field.

Exactly one week ago from today, Rhodes was forced to release a statement via TMZ saying that he is “not gay,” after photos had surfaced the day before on MediaTakeOut.com showing the 30-year-old with his around around a “male friend.”

NFL Player Kerry Rhodes Denies Being Gay, Calls Questionable Pics “Casual”

In his statement, Rhodes explained that the pictures of him and his “friend” — who he claimed was his former assistant — were simply “casual” shots that were taken during a “past vacation” in which his “entire business team” was present.

But after Media Take Out somehow got a hold of ANOTHER set of damaging photos of Kerry and his so-called “male friend,” one of which shows him kissing the guy on the forehead, the speculation surrounding the NFL star and his sexuality grew even bigger.

More Intimate Photos of Kerry Rhodes and His Alleged Boyfriend Surface, Including One with a Kiss

And now that the other man in the photos, Kerry’s alleged former secret lover, has opted to go on something of a media tour recently — in which he is basically outing Rhodes as a closeted homosexual (aka “down low brother”) — it’s going to be nearly impossible for the NFL player to try and clear his name now.

In separate interviews with Bossip and Baller Alert, Russell “Hollywood” Simpson talked about how he met Kerry Rhodes, and revealed that they were dating while Kerry played for the Arizona Cardinals.

Russell said he wasn’t the one who leaked the photos of them together, but Kerry was definitely aware that they were being taken. Russell also made it a point to note that he is not a “jilted lover,” he’s just upset that Kerry tried to “play” him by going to TMZ and making that statement denying that he was gay.

Russell said that when MTO published the photos of them together, Kerry should have just kept quiet instead of “lying” and trying to prove to the world that he was straight.

Check out the excerpts from both interviews (and EVEN MORE PHOTOS of the two back when they were “together”) below.

How Kerry Rhodes and Hollywood Met

From Bossip:

“I met him at an NFL training camp. A friend of mine was up there trying to get hired as a player’s assistant and I kinda tagged along. I don’t wanna be anyone’s assistant and I basically helped my friend get to Arizona (Cardinals) to get a job. We went up the hotel suite and Kerry was up there. We talked and that was about it. I later went back to North Carolina and he called me wanting me to come back to Arizona to help manage his assistants and personal team. We started dating about 2 months after and then got in a relationship.”

From Baller Alert:

“I got to know Kerry and we became very close. I moved in with Kerry at his home in Arizona. At first we were just friends and we were getting to know each other. Then we got into a relationship. We were in a relationship for a whole year. I was there, people knew who I was, they saw me as his top assistant. I handled everything for him. No one went to Kerry for anything.”

On Who Initiated the Relationship

From Baller Alert:

“Of course he came on to me. I’m too fabulous to come on to anybody. That’s not what I do. I have a lot of men that come on to me. I don’t come on to men because I don’t know what time it is for you. I would never come on to a man. Honestly, a lot of gay guys are like me. A lot of gay guys don’t come on to guys. It’s always the other way around. It’s always the manly ones. Of course I wouldn’t come on to anybody. Yes, I thought he was attractive but I thought he liked girls.”

“It did not take place instantly. I’m a classy b*tch. You have to show me what time it is and he did. I was with it. It took us almost two months to sleep together. He made the first move — as in kissing. Kerry says I was his first man he’s been with. Doesn’t matter, it still makes you gay.”

More on their “relationship,” sex life, and the “benefits”

Bossip: What were your duties as Kerry’s boyfriend? Did his teammates know about you?

Russell: I was like his wife. I ran the household and took care of all his personal needs. If anyone needed anything from Kerry they came to me! That’s what Kerry loved about me. i didn’t take no sh*t from nobody. Kerry is kinda a dumb athlete, like a dumb jock. So, I took care of things that he didn’t understand. And yes, his teammates did know about me. It was kinda unspoken but I was at all his training camps and events. The other wives knew and loved me too. I was always there. It was no secret!

Bossip: How was your sex life with Kerry? Was he top or power bottom?

*laughs* It was great! It was very passionate because we were so in love. Of course he was the top! I’m not doing all that damn work! But, we were extremely close. It was very good and he put it on me!

Bossip: How long were you and Kerry together?

Russell: Well, I was the first gay man Kerry was with publicly. You can look at the photos and see were clearly together. We were together for about a year and two months. We were together for a while and in love.

Bossip: Did you benefit because of this relationship? What gifts did Kerry buy you any special gifts?

Kerry paid for everything. We had a very good life together. I always got any and everything I ever asked for. Vacations, red bottoms, the private jet in my video was us going to training camp together. I had a driver and he even gave me his Aston Martin. He later bought me my own car and because I’m not a dumb bi**h I made sure to get it my own name and he paid the whole thing off! He treated me very well. I will never talk bad about him in that way because he was really good to me.

From Baller Alert:

“We went on a lot of trips, out of the country, Hawaii, whatever. He loved me so much that he did spend a lot of money. He definitely took care of me.”

“Kerry did do a lot for me. He bought me a lot of things. He bought me the new Infiniti truck. I’m the type of person, if you buy me something, you’re putting it in MY name. If you’re buying me something you’re paying it off. He definitely did the TWO things. You’re not going to buy me nothing and it still be in your name because then it’s your car. You’re not going to buy me nothing and leave me with the payments. I don’t think so!”

On the photos leaking and Kerry talking to TMZ

From Baller Alert:

“They said ‘Well maybe he he loved him like a little brother. Listen, if he loved me like a little brother, he f**ked me like a wife!” and that’s just me being real with you. People knew something was up but they didn’t know. It was just not normal for a guy to be like we were. You can see in the picture. A picture says a lot of things. You could see in the pictures that it was something there.

“The first set of pictures, I don’t know how they got out because I did not put them out. If you go on my Facebook page you will see the same pictures but I always crop him out because it was nobody’s business. Now what pissed me off about the whole situation is when he and I stopped talking and the pics got out. He said that he was NOT gay. To me he shouldn’t have said sh**. If you’re not going to tell the truth, don’t try to make me look stupid.

“This is what I say: You can play Nintendo, You play XBox, You play lottery, You Don’t Play Hollywood! I think he made a comment that he’s as straight as an arm. An arm has an elbow dummy! What really set me off is when he had Alton the assistant call TMZ, say he was Me and say Kerry and I are just friends, he’s like my brother.”

On other gay players in sports, and how Kerry reached out to him after the pictures leaked

From Baller Alert:

“I just want girls to know my sh** is for real! This sh** happened! You can think that you got a boyfriend and all that sh** but THIS sh** is for real! It happened. I think that a lot of girls are lost because they play football. That don’t mean nothing. You’d be better getting yourself a boy cheerleader.”

“This is how I work. I don’t date boys with girlfriends and I don’t date men with kids. I’m selfish. I’m not the type to go with the downlow brothers. Either you’re down with me or you ain’t. Kerry was NOT messing with girls when he was with me. He was with me every single day, all day long. I have pictures. I have text messages.”

“You can sit around and think your boyfriend ain’t doing nothing. He probably ain’t doing nothing with another girl because he’s probably with a boy.”

Bossip: Did you ever encounter any other gay football players?

Russell: Well, I don’t know. All of his teammates in Arizona (Cardinals) know about me. But you would see guys with a lot of male assistants who always surrounded themselves with men but it wasn’t openly discussed. So I don’t know if they were gay but you know…

Bossip: How did you feel when Kerry denied being gay? Did he reach out to you?

Yes he actually text me like “Hey baby, can you just not say anything about all this” but that’s what I don’t like. He’s lying because he’s trying to protect his free agency. He’s not going to be one of those guys who come out in the league because he cares too much about that. But why is he lying?? LOOK AT THE PICS!! He loved me and now he’s lying. That’s why I put him out there because he came for me. I’m not here for fame. He wanted me to have a reality show because he said I was destined for it. His teammates said I had a great personality and encouraged me to be on TV. This was our life! This was real!

I had an engagement ring he gave me. Look at some of the pics and I am wearing a promise ring he gave me. We were in love and it was real. But now look at him! He’s lying and looking like a real dumbazz. Why couldn’t he just STFU and no even said anything. He had to deny it like I wasn’t real. Like, I never existed. What the hell?? We filmed that reality show together, he has hours of footage of me and him together for the show. I have NOTHING to hide! I’m grown as hell and have nothing lie about.

Kerry Rhodes is gay. That’s the truth.

And there you have it. The ball is in your court now, Mr. Rhodes. Or, rather, in his case, “the ball is in your field.” Or, whatever.

Regardless, Kerry Rhodes has some serious explaining to do.

What do you think? Should Kerry Rhodes just go on ahead and come out of the closet now? Or … ?

Jamie Foxx is almost unrecognizable in his newest movie role. Yesterday, pictures were posted online showing Foxx as Electro in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” The pictures are the first unofficial look at Foxx in the movie, and were taken while he was shooting a scene in Times Square on Monday.

“Electro is a great character,” Foxx told Entertainment Tonight last year. “He’s a … genius electrician-type person, and he gets the short end of the stick from the whole world, and the next thing you know he turns it on.”

Set for release on May 2nd 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, joined by Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Chris Cooper, Paul Giamatti and Felicity Jones.

Beyoncé kicked off her “Mrs. Carter Show” world tour in Belgrade, Serbia Monday night (Apr 15) and from the looks of it, Bey most certainly did not disappoint. Playing to a sold-out crowd of 20,ooo, her first show featured pyrotechnics, costume changes and an energetic 20-song set featuring all of her hits.

Although Beyoncé debuted no new music, one thing that stood out about the show was her costume changes. During the two-hour concert, Beyoncé made eight costume changes and one in particular had everyone talking. The aforementioned costume was a gold, sequined leotard that accentuated a woman’s form fully equipped with nipples. The look was supposed to resemble a woman in the nude, andnaturally, it has sparked some criticism.

In addition to Beyoncé’s nude, embellished leotard, the superstar diva also sported a leather coat and hat with no pants, a sexy, red leotard dress, a white, embellished leotard, and a black sequined cat suit, among other costumes. All the costumes were made by Emilio Pucci’s creative director Peter Dundas and her shoes were made by Stuart Weitzman, her go-to shoe creator for her tours.

The only new music we have heard from Beyoncé has been a sample of “Grown Woman” and “Bow Down/I Been On,” which doesn’t seem to be a full single. Beyoncé performed music from her four previous albums and one Destiny’s Child song.

“Thank ya’ll for being such a beautiful audience,” Beyoncé said as she closed out the show. “I’ll never forget my first show. I’ll never forget all of these beautiful faces. I had such a good time tonight.”

HERE ARE THE PHOTOS:

AND NOW FOR THE VIDEOS:

The Mrs. Carter world tour will travel overseas before it touches down in the U.S. in June.

Are you ready for round 2 of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta?” Of course you are. Now get into these flicks from the season 2 premiere party.

Held at the Cream Ultra Lounge in Atlanta, the whole gang (minus a few) got together for the official viewing party for season 2 of LHHA.

Joseline Hernandez and her on-again, off-again boo “Steebie J” were there. So was Lil’ Scrappy’s boo thang Shay and his baby mama Erica Dixon.

Thankfully, no fights broke out at THIS event between Scrappy’s two ladies, although strangely, Scrappy himself was not at the event. (He’s probably working the late shift at Wendy’s to cover his legal bills, to be honest).

Newcomers Che Mack and DJ Traci Steele were also in the building but it’s really hard to muster up two fucks to give about either of them right now.

The big surprise was Rasheeda and her pregnant belly making its debut. Yup, you heard right. That old lady who’s been trying to break through as a rapper since the ’90s is actually pregnant. Her husband Kirk dropped his seed off just in time, ’cause you know there were only about three eggs left in Ms. Rasheeda’s dusty womb.

If you’re wondering where the Queen of Ratchet K. Michelle was at, I am too. She apparently didn’t show up and neither did Karlie Redd, although her hunchback ex-boyfriend Benzino did.

More photos have been released from Beyonce’s new H&M summer 2013 campaign showing the sexy singer as she puts most women to shame with her perfect bikini body.

Beyonce, who was announced as the face of the very bold and colorful swimwear line last month, shows off her flawless curves in a series of new publicity shots.

In a Q&A with the brand, Bey talked about her style influences, and how much she loved shooting the campaign in the Bahamas.

Of the campaign, she said: “I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”

“I loved shooting the campaign in the Bahamas,” she added. “We shot on a beach outside of Nassau and the weather was perfect. The shoot was filled with vibrant colors and was inspired by the glamor of the late ‘70s.”

Beyonce also admits that a lot of her fashion sense comes from watching her mother when she was younger, and also from her very own sister Solange.

She said, “I think my style comes from watching my mother from the time I was a little girl. She was so stylish. She was the first person I saw mix high end pieces with more accessible styles and make it all work. I’m also inspired by my sister, I love her bold approach.”

After looking at these photos, Beyonce’s controversial “Bow Down” song just seems so right. Bow Down Bitches!!!

Some of the wives of the Miami Heat threw fellow basketball wife Savannah Brinson — the soon-to-be wife of NBA star LeBron James — a surprise bachelorette party last weekend.

Some of Savannaha’s closet friends — including Chris Paul’s wife Jada — were in attendance, which made the surprise gathering even more memorable for her.

The purple and white themed event was put together by Juwan Howard’s wife Jenine, and the festivities included spa-treatments, and sushi served on half naked men. Not sure if LeBron was thrilled to find out about that last one, but Savannah seemed to have a great time nonetheless.

CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS HERE:

Savannah expressed her gratitude on Twitter (via Instagram) about her surprise party:

So surprised that all my nearest and dearest came to celebrate me tonight. Special thanks to @j9_howard for thee best lingerie party ever!! Love you to pieces! And S/O to all my heat ladies who celebrated with me!! You know who you are! Muah! Xoxo

We’re thrilled to hear Savannah and LeBron are getting ready to tie the knot (reportedly this September). Not only is Savannah a down to earth, naturally beautiful girl, but they’ve been together since high school, and she’s been there with him every step of the way.

Congrats to the Mr. and Mrs. Lebron James to be!

When MediaTakeOut published questionable photos of NFL player Kerry Rhodes with his former assistant, Rhodes alleged that the photos were simply “casual.” But that might not work with this new batch.

The gossip site has gotten its hands on a new set of photos that show Rhodes and his former assistant, who’s apparently an out gay man named Hollywood, snuggling close as they walk on the beach arm in arm.

But the most damning photo evidence of all is the shot of Rhodes pulling Hollywood in close as he appears to kiss his forehead.

Look, it’s 2013 and it’s okay for straight men to bond and show affection, but a kiss on the forehead is what you do with your sweetheart, not your bro.

At this point, a confession from Rhodes seems inevitable. There’s really just no explaining away the obvious romance and affection on display in these photos.

Really, in the age of ‘Glee’ and Lady Gaga, we can handle a gay football player. So there’s really no benefit to Rhodes hiding his true sexuality.

Frankly, a gay football player is a lot less scandalous than that ratchet shit Tiger Woods pulled when he racked up 30 mistresses and set his career in flames for a few years.

Despite their braggadocio music, rappers often do attempt to establish regular relationships. And Big Sean of G.O.O.D Music fame is the latest to get hit by cupid’s arrow. Who’s the lucky lady, you ask? None other than “Glee” actress Naya Rivera.

The couple made their first public appearance together last week at the Los Angeles premiere for the film “42.” Rumors about the pair circulated when Naya appeared at Big Sean’s surprise 25th birthday party in March, but the movie premiere sealed the deal.

Sean and Naya let their love adorn each other on the red carpet while posing for photos all cuddled up. Sean wore an all-black getup with a leather jacket and Naya donned a grey dress and heels for the occasion.

With both at early stages in their career it will be interesting to see how they can balance their high profile careers and a love life all at the same time.

Hopefully Sean’s boss and mentor Kanye West can give him some tips on dealing with the ups and downs of being in a celebrity relationship. You never know, Sean might be blindsided by one of Naya’s exes with an an “I Hit It First”-like diss track.

Coming out of the dark. It’s not just a Gloria Estefan song, it’s also what NFL player Kerry Rhodes might want to do now that questionable pictures of he and his former assistant have surfaced.

Kerry Rhodes found himself unexpectedly in the middle of a big, ugly gay scandal when Media Takeout got its hands on some intimate photos of Rhodes on vacation with his former assistant. In one photo, Rhodes is shirtless and carrying the man damsel in distress style.

In another photo, Rhodes has his arm wrapped around the man’s shoulder almost in a “that’s my baby” pose. Suffice it to say, they both look very happy in the photos together.

Rhodes, who is currently a free agent but played for the Arizona Cardinals last year, denied to TMZ that he is in fact gay. In his explanation, the cozy pictures between him and his friend were just…”casual.” Right. Is this fool trying to redefine the word casual the same way Lindsay tried to redefine the word “exhaustion”?

But Rhodes says he’s as straight as an arrow — telling TMZ, “Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation.”

Rhodes then says flatly, “I am not gay.”

Rhodes explains: “The shots were taken during a past vacation in a casual environment with my entire business team.”

Can former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey give Mr. Rhodes a call and give him some advice? He knows what it’s like to be outted publicly. Maybe he can help this man see the light.

Cause there ain’t no way those Brokeback Mountain-type photos are strictly platonic.

In her first appearances since confirming her second pregnancy, Halle Berry has been showing off her tiny baby bump all over the world as she promotes her new movie “The Call.”

Berry’s baby bump was virtually invisible in the black Michael Kors dress she had on when she attended a charity event to end world hunger hosted by Kors Saturday night (Apr 6) in New York City.

But it was on display for all to see Monday night (Apr 8) when she wore a figure-hugging purple Roberto Cavalli asymmetrical chiffon gown as she she posed for pictures on the red carpet of the premiere of “The Call” in Bueno Aires, Argentina.

She then flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she was spotted today at another premiere for “The Call” wearing a cute all-black ensemble she paired with two-toned white and black heels. And it’s like her baby bump is playing peek-a-boo or something, because just like Saturday night, there is none!

Could be because she’s wearing all-black on both occasions, proving that black is indeed a slimming color … but regardless, Halle, 46, is looking flawless, as always.

Halle’s reps confirmed last Friday (Apr 5) that the Oscar-winning actress is expecting her second child with her 47-year-old fiancee, French actor Olivier Martinez aka “baby daddy #2.” (Halle already has a 5-year-old daughter — Nahla — with Gabriel Aubry, a French-Canadian model, aka “baby daddy #1″.)

“I feel fantastic. This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it’s been a big surprise and the most wonderful,” Halle told CNN on the red carpet Saturday at the Michael Kors charity event to help the United Nations World Food Programme fight hunger all over the world.

Halle Berry has joined Michael Kors for a philanthropic project called “Watch Hunger Stop.” According to the Associated Press, the campaign includes raising money through the sale of a version of Kors’ best-selling Runway watch. For each $295 watch that is sold, 100 meals will be provided to hungry children through the United Nations’ World Food Programme, AP reported.

Berry and Kors plan to visit locations where the meals will be sent, including Africa and Syria, and Berry has said that she would like to go while she’s pregnant, “so that I can talk about prenatal care.”

“And I will have time off,” she added. “I’m not working right now … It’s so important to me, being a mom, that I can help educate women on how important it is that when you have a healthy child, it helps set them up for life.”

While reports suggest that Berry and Martinez are expecting a baby boy, the actress was mum about that the other night. “I don’t know, I don’t know. But [the baby is] healthy!” she told CNN’s Alina Cho when she was asked about the sex of her unborn baby.

BREAKING NEWS: Miley Cyrus — the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana — smokes weed!!!

Shocking … right? I mean, this should definitely be news to EVERYONE, considering her collaboration with Snoop Lion called “Ashtrays and Heartbreaks” (an obvious ode to smoking weed), that picture she posted on Instagram of her smoking a FAT blunt, that video from a few years ago of her sucking down a bong full of salvia — which is just like weed. And then there was that one time when her friends gave her a Bob Marley birthday cake and she said: “You know you’re a stoner when your friends make you a Bob Marley cake … You know you smoke way too much fucking weed!”

The breadwinner of the Cyrus family — let’s be real, “Achy Breaky Heart” hasn’t paid the bills in years — was hanging out with friends on her hotel balcony in Miami over the weekend when those nosy paparazzi people snapped some pics of her smoking a blunt.

The real news though, is that Miley isn’t wearing her engagement ring … even though she says she and her fiancee Liam Hemsworth are doing fine, despite rumors suggesting otherwise.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is getting ready to welcome her first child with her husband, actor Channing Tatum, and in the May 2013 issue of Glamour magazine, she is opening up about the experience, while also stripping down and showing off her bare baby bump.

“I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I’d freak out. But it was really gradual,” Dewan-Tatum said. “There’s a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you’re ready to have this baby.”

In the magazine, Dewan-Tatum shows off her baby curves and talks about how her and Channing are preparing for their soon-to-be bundle of joy

“I have no idea what I’m up against,” she said. ”But I’m as mentally prepared as I can be. It’s an adventure!”

She also talks about how Channing has learned not to argue with a pregnant woman.

“He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, ‘Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I’m going to leave it up to you.’”

The Tatums aren’t sure what type of parents they will be, but Dewan-Tatum said they will figure it out. The parents-to-be are just ready to focus on their little one, who will be making his or her arrival by summer.

“Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead,” Dewan-Tatum said. ”Channing and I are ambitious, but our relationship comes first. We take everything day by day, saying, ‘OK, how can we make this work together?’”

On the subject of parenting, and what type of parents she and her husband of four years will be, Jenna said, “Who knows what kind of parents we’ll be? We have two dogs, so we’ve had some practice! And as soon as this baby comes into the world, Channing and I will figure it out real fast.”
