In Bobby Brown’s new tell-all book, he claims his whole relationship with R&B legend Whitney Houston was a hoax! Bobby wrote that the only reason Whitney married him was because she wanted to protect her “good girl” image. He says she was also in a “bisexual relationship” at the time, and she knew that being gay wouldn’t look good for her career.

“(The marriage) was doomed from the very beginning,” Brown writes in ‘Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But…’ “I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married… I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.

“The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn’t go too well with her image… In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not.”

Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston filed for divorce back in 2007 after spending 14 years together as husband and wife. They have one daughter together, 16 year old Bobbi Kristina Brown. And Whitney Houston is currently busy promoting her new album, I Look To You.

According to Life & Style Magazine, Beyonce’s upcoming music video for “Video Phone” will feature none other than her VMA rival Lady Gaga. Sources reveal that the singers were shooting the new video on October 7th at a studio in New York City.

“Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush, and security was extremely tight. In the video, Beyonce wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane.”

This has not been confirmed by either camp so as for now, treat it as a rumor. But if this is true, we’re expecting this video to be a smash!

In other Beyonce news, Billboard has reported that with Video Phone debuting on the charts, I Am…Sasha Fierce will be the first album in the past decade to have six singles on the mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Chart1 The singles are: “If I Were A Boy,” “Single Ladies,” “Halo,” “Diva,” “Ego,” and of course, “Video Phone.”

Michael Jackson’s rumored fourth child Omer Bhatti is requesting a DNA test to find out whether or not he is truly the child of the late King of Pop. Omer, 25, was brought to attention after he sat in the front row of Jackson’s memorial service. Meanwhile, rumors stated that Jackson fathered Bhatti in 1984 after a one night stand. Reports also state that Omer’s mother is also the mother of Blanket, Jackson’s 7-year-old son.

MJ’s brother Jermaine Jackson states that if Omer is indeed his brother’s son, that he will be welcomed into the family:

“If Omer’s his son, he’s his son. We won’t deny it. We are going to give him the same amount of love and care that we give Prince and Paris and Blanket. I can’t clearly say if he is Michael’s but I saw this kid around him.”

We’re speechless, but at the same time getting a bit tired over all the crazy Jackson news and allegations. Do you believe this guy is Jackson’s real son?

We’re not 100% sure if this is true, but Bossip is reporting that Gucci Mane has been locked up again after failing a probationary urine test AND not showing up for his probation hearing.

Sources close to Gucci Mane have exclusively told Bossip the reason Gucci Mane is locked up again. Soulja Boy just tweeted that when he woke up this morning Gucci was jailed. This story is developing because you know how much of an attention whore this dude is. We just confirmed it’s true. Gucci is LOCKED UP…

Gucci supposedly had failed a probationary urine test. He also did not show up for his probation hearing, so a warrant was issued for his arrest.

What are we gonna do with Gucci? Didn’t his azz JUST get out?! This dude stays in jail more than he stays at his own crib, SMH…

A new report is saying that Rihanna has a crush on Orlando Magic’s Rashard Lewis! And friends claim that is one of the reasons she hit up last Thursday’s game in Orlando.

Says a pal of the singer, “Rihanna is trying to get to know Rashard. She’s digging on him, and she hopes the feeling is mutual.”

Mooooove over, Chris Brown! Rihanna was spotted canoodling with up and coming rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham at the Target-sponsored album release party for the Black Eyed Peas’ new album The E.N.D., held at NYC hotspot The Griffin. The new rumor is that the two are dating, but if you let them tell it … they’re “just friends” and apparently Drake is writing for Rihanna on her upcoming album. Yeah … how many times have we heard THAT story before? Only time will tell though, but the picture doesn’t lie. And the fact that they left the club at the same time but drove in separate cars to avoid the flashing lights clearly means that they’re trying to keep it on the low.

We’ve heard from various sources that our favorite in-your-face cokehead Amy Winehouse has gotten inspired by her celebrity colleagues Madonna and Angelina Jolie and wants to adopt a baby of her own from St. Lucia in the Caribbean Islands, a known vacation spot for the troubled singer. This rumor comes directly after reports of her equally troubled husband Blake Fielder-Civil having a baby with another woman. And Amy’s always wanted kids of her own.

“Amy’s gutted about Blake becoming a dad and moving on so quickly. She has always wanted to be a mother,” a source tells the Daily Mail.

Reps for the singer said, “Amy was taking about adopting in the context of looking after children on the island, perhaps through some kind of music and education-based project.”

SOURCE

Isn’t there some law protecting someone like Amy Winehouse from even having her own kids, let alone adopting someone else’s? We hope this is just a fun rumor! We’d rather be a homeless orphan than be putting under the care of someone like Amy Winehouse…

Rumors began to swirl this weekend suggesting that Keyshia Cole’s mother, Frankie Lons, was involved in a deadly car accident. Fortunately, Keyshia’s rep was able to deny the rumors, confirming that Frankie was NOT involved in a car accident and is alive and well.

“Imani Entertainment has received a huge amount of inquiries in regard to the rumor about Keyshia Cole’s biological mom, Frankie Lons, having recently passed in an automobile accident. The rumor has absolutely NO truth to it – Frankie has not been in any accident of any kind and is doing well at home in Atlanta. We want to thank all of Frankie’s fans for their concern.”

Where the hell do these crazy death rumors come from? People are sick…

Gucci Mane is back in jail already? I don’t know, but I am getting word that Gucci Mane might already be in jail. Apparently he was supposed to be performing in Greenville, SC. Then everything got all messed up. I am hearing that last night there were text messages being forwarded around saying he got locked up this morning for domestic violence. Now, I don’t know what he did, but I hope that a certain video didn’t come back to haunt Gucci.

And we were about THIS close to snagging an interview with him tonight! Oh well…

UPDATE: Gucci Mane did an interview with Greenville radio station Hot 98.1 earlier today and is NOT in jail. The show will go on as planned.

First the STD rumors, then the pregnancy rumors and now they’re saying that Chris Brown and Rihanna may have a series of tapes featuring kinky acts from the pop princess we all know as Rihanna.

In the March 30 issue of Star — on sale now — we report that Rihanna allowed Chris to record some of their, um, intimate moments and — she worries that the racy tapes could ruin her — especially after seeing how quickly Chris turned on her once before. “Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality,” a source tells Star. “But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out!”

Chris Brown’s manager Tina Davis is now shutting down rumors of the two being intimate with each other after sources said that she was in fact the woman who was texting Chris Brown the night of the fight between him and Rihanna.

The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client. There has never been any other relationship. The rumors in circulation are false,” said Marshall B. Grossman, Davis’ lawyer. “There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports.

The New York Post’s bogus story detailing an intimate dinner between singer Ginuwine and actress Lisa Raye-McKissick was shot down by a rep who reminded AOL Black Voices that Ginuwine was a married man and Lisa Raye is still a legally married woman.

On Sunday, March 8 in the ‘Page Six’ column of the daily newspaper, it was reported that McCoy and Ginuwine dined together at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills and “after posing for the paparazzi outside, they proceeded to kiss throughout their meal.”

“There’s absolutely no truth to this story. My client and Ginuwine are just friends. Ginuwine is a married man! LisaRaye is still legally a married woman and has absolutely no time to even think about dating as she works to get both her personal and professional affairs in order,” said publicist Lynn Allen Jeter.

The 41-year-old actress and the 33-year-old R&B singer, who is married to female rapper Sole, have known each other for years, according to reps for Lisa Raye, and after she attended a recent party of his, he extended an off for her to star in the new music video for his single “Last Chance.” Peep more photos of the two on the set of the video when you continue reading.

Chris Brown’s people shot down rumors that the singer and his girlfriend Rihanna were co-authoring a book about domestic abuse together, in addition to making rounds in the television talk show circuit in a career rehabilitation effort known as “Project Mea Culpa.”

Sources close to the couple who talked to the Daily News called the rumors totally false.

“It’s completely false,” a source close to Brown said. “There is no deal for a book or campaign about abuse. There is no ‘Project Mea Culpa.’ There is no contract. It’s not true.”

Rumors are running rampant that Chris Brown and Rihanna may have gotten married while they spent the weekend together in Miami at Diddy’s mansion. Star Magazine ran a story yesterday saying that when Chris saw Rihanna for the first time after the incident, he dropped to his knees, begged for forgiveness … and proposed right on the spot.

In the March 16 issue of Star — on sale now! — we report that the couple had a tearful face-to-face meeting at Diddy’s $14.5 million Miami mansion, during which an emotional Chris apologized, begged for forgiveness and proposed to her on the spot.

“All she’s ever wanted was to be with him forever,” a source tells Star. “Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, ‘I can’t live without you.’”

The pair wasted no time making Rihanna’s fairy tale come true. They even called a minister to the mansion on exclusive Star Island!

Chris Brown is due in Los Angeles court today. Keep checking back because we’ll definitely be letting you know how that went!

Sorry about the “rumor” tag. We have some inside information that kind of goes against what’s being reported everywhere. People.com put out a story Friday evening reporting that Chris Brown and Rihanna had gotten back together at Diddy’s mansion in Miami and were “working things out.” While part of that is true, we’ll go on ahead and tell you that Chris Brown and Rihanna aren’t back together … yet. Even though they are living under the same roof right now (a big roof at that) they are not back together as “boyfriend and girlfriend.” And they’re not at the mansion alone. So keep that in mind. Here’s the story from People:

Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively. The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the “Umbrella” singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE. “They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes, on Miami Beach’s Star Island.

We’ll tell you more after the weekend. Keep it locked!

Update (Feb. 26th 2009 @ 2:51 am): A source has exclusively revelaed to Gossip On This that Rihanna is NOT PREGNANT!

Oh Lord here comes another rumor! First came the STD rumors, now they’re saying Rihanna might be pregnant with Chris Brown’s baby. What’s next?

Rihanna was hiding a shocking secret when Chris Brown brutally beat her. In the March 9 issue of Star — on sale now — we exclusively report that days before the terrifying incident, Rihanna consulted an ob-gyn at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after confiding to close friends that she suspected she was pregnant with Chris’ baby.

Once again, “sources” are dropping off tips quicker than anyone can keep up. But for some reason, this story seems to make the most sense. We have to make it clear that we’re not taking sides and you shouldn’t either. At least wait until all of the facts come out and official statements are made by the respective camps. For now, anything that is published (here, or anywhere else) that is not from Rihanna, Chris Brown, or any named person close to them should be taken with a grain of salt. All of these unnamed sources do not, and should not count.

Anyway, sources claiming to be close to Chris Brown and Rihanna told Bossip that Rihanna started the physical portion of the fight and it was all over a phone call Chris received from another young lady. The source also added that Chris’ faithfulness to Rihanna had been questionable the past few months.

They were in the car leaving the Clive Davis party. While Chris was driving, he got a phone call from a young lady. Our source tells us that Rihanna knew that Chris had been messing around with this particular girl and she has, as of late, been the reason for many of their heated arguments. Rihanna got a glimpse of the phone, saw the name and number and immediately recognized who it was. She went ballistic and began to “beat the sh*t” out of Chris (while driving). She was so uncontrollable, that Chris began to fight back in self defense, which ensued the fight. Rihanna’s rage stemmed from Chris’ questionable fidelity in the last few months.

This just in from Drrrt! Danity Kane, now a three-woman act, has been dropped from Bad Boy records!

OUR HEART IS DAMAGED !

DRRRT HAS EXCLUSIVELY LEARNED THAT PLATINUM SELLING GIRL GROUP DANITY KANE HAS BEEN DROPPED BY BAD BOY RECORDS.

IN ADDITION, THE GIRLS WILL NOT APPEAR IN ANY UPCOMING SEASON OF MAKING THE BAND.

Your girl Rihanna has been spotted out and about rocking a fairly expensive piece of jewelry on her wedding ring finger. Did her boyfriend Chris Brown give it to her following a New Year’s Eve engagement proposal? Even though they haven’t publicly acknowledged their relationship, the two have been “dating” for a while, and the ring on her finger looks a lot like an expensive engagement ring. And let’s not mention the engagement rumors that have been surrounding them for a little while now. So are they engaged to be marry? Probably so, but we won’t hear it from them or their people. I mean, aren’t they still putting on this “we’re just friends” act?

According to reports published by famous gossip website The New York Post, singer Mariah Carey just may have Nick Cannon’s bun in her oven. When spies spotted her vacationing in St. Barts, they described her as being zaftig, which by definition means, “a woman having a full rounded figure; plump.” They also mentioned that they have reliable sources who spotted her leaving an ob/gyn’s office at the beginning of December 2008, carrying what looked to be a sonogram, and when she emerged from the building, she was immediately greeted by her entourage with cheers and lots of excitement. And to add icing to the cake, she’s rumored to have cut down her excercize regimen. Isn’t that what pregnant women do?

As of yet, no announcement has been made by Mariah, Nick or anyone in their camp, so until then, we’re just going to have to stash all of these allegations into the rumor file. But we’ll definitely let you know when we know 100% if the rumors are true or not. Keep it locked!

Unfortunately, the season looks like it’s over for NY Giant Plaxico Burress. It was announced Tuesday that the wide receiver was suspended from the team for the rest of the regular season and the upcoming NFL playoffs.

The decision comes one day after Burress was charged with two counts of illegal weapons possession, stemming from in incident early Saturday morning in which he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub.

The Giants’ decision to suspend Burress came down after team physician, Dr. Scott Rodeo, examined him and found that the gunshot wound would sideline the 31-year-old player for 4-to-6 weeks.

[ SOURCE ]

His teammate Antonio Pierce may suffer the same fate if investigators find that he helped Plaxico attempt to cover up the shooting.

We’ve also learned that Plaxico Burress may be selling his New Jersey home due to him losing his $35 million contract with the Giants.

Word has it Plaxico Burress is putting his New Jersey estate on the market. Now that his $35 mill NFL contract is out the window thanks to his lock up status–he likely won’t be able to afford it. And he has a family to take care of. People really need to do better.

There’s a rumor circulating about the blogoshpere concerning Kanye West and Victoria’s Secret supermodel Sessilee Lopez.

“Kanye was instantly smitten with Sessilee and it’s not hard to see why. But it’s more than just looks for Kanye, they get on really well and have a deep connection,” a friend of the model has revealed to Britain’s The Sun.

“Recently, Kanye has invited Sessilee to several parties and the pair have also had a few quiet nights together… Everyone wants a piece of Sessilee, she is one of the hottest models around. But she is very fond of Kanye though.”

This is, of course, a British tabloid. So as usual, a grain of salt is recommended. If it’s true though, Good for Yeezy!

I made sure to clearly mark this post with the word “rumor” right off. I hear the legal team behind this dude is nothing short of serious, so I’m treading thin on water even mentioning this ish. But word on the sidewalk is that our boy Will Smith has utilized the services of a male escort agency. Our friends at Bossip uncovered the dirt!

According to a former Hollywood Madame, actor Will Smith is gay and hired her two male prostitutes. The Madame, who moved her business to New York, tells Ian Halperin that Smith “has swung both ways for years” and was one of her regular clients. The unidentified woman claims that Smith, who has two children with wife Jada Pinkett Smith, “placed his order” for a man after he trusted that she could “guarantee discretion.” “I had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion,” she said. “Once I convinced him I could, he placed his order. It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys. You’d be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys.”

UPDATE: The homie Necole Bitchie thinks differently. Maybe he was hiring the men for Jada, which coincides with the rumors of them being downlow swingers…

This sh*t is probably faker than Yung Berg’s rap career, but we all like to hear a little juice every now and then, right? Word on the sidewalk is that Rihanna and Kanye West shared a kiss at rapper T.I.’s MySpace concert at the Key Club in Hollywood recently. Now we all know Kanye is kinda sorta riding it solo for the time being, but we also know that Rihanna and Chris Brown are an item, and have been that way for a little minute. Here’s what a snitch “revealed” to Star Magazine:

“Rihanna and Kanye hung out together after they performed their songs,” says an insider. “Rihanna was sitting on Kanye’s lap, singing along to the music. Before long, the two were full-on kissing each other.” Adds the source, “People were shocked. After a while, Rihanna must have realized people were watching, because she had her security escort her back to the dressing room.”

Now before you go tell your friends that Rihanna is cheating on Chris Brown, you should note where the source of this information comes from. Star Magazine is a slightly tamer (and slightly more professional) version of Media FAKE Out. So anything published on their website should be taken with a grain of salt.

Well gee, those engagement rumors about Diddy & Cassie didn’t take too long to squash, did they? I don’t even think it’s been a good 24 hours. Diddy’s rep told People:

“Contrary to tabloid reports, there is no engagement. This was a complete fabrication,” states Combs’s rep.

But wait, who’s that happy couple all hugged up on Mother’s Day? Hey, that’s Diddy and Cassie! Something tells me this isn’t the end of this whole “Diddy & Cassie” saga. Sean John knows his talent-less jump-off needs some promo for this upcoming album.

Rumors are beginning to circulate that producer and N*E*R*D frontman Pharrell Williams has a baby on the way. According to the NY Post, the rapper/singer has knocked up a model-type chick he met with friends in Miami earlier this year.

The unidentified woman “is very pregnant and travels with him. She hangs out with the backstage crew when he performs,” said a friend. “Pharrell is extremely private and won’t release any details.”

Interesting…

“I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!!”

You tell ‘em Yeezy! If your friends, family, and potential advertisers can’t love you for who you are … then you don’t need ‘em! ;-) But you know your bipolar ass needs some anger management. Or medication. Hell, why not shoot two birds with one stone and go with both!

Recently everyone has been reporting that NBA star Dwyane Wade and Star Jones were a couple. Dwyane felt the need to address rumor and set the record straight Thursday during a guest appearance on “Inside The NBA“

“Star is an unbelievable woman. We have a great, great relationship. As friends. We’re friends, just like a lot of celebrities. We are friends. That’s all”

Dwyane still has yet to confirm or deny rumors that he and his wife Siohvaughn Funches have split.

According to recent rumors, Beyonce and Jay-Z’s wedding was apparently a big ol’ cover-up for Beyonce’s alleged pregnancy! I’m sure you all remember how the Knowles’ forced their daughter Solange to get married a few years ago, to save face of course, when they discovered she was pregnant. I tell ya … if ain’t one rumor, it’s another!

What makes this rumor almost bogus is that the only reasoning behind it is because the two, and their friends and respective families, kept the whole thing a secret. Well honestly if I were in either Beyonce’s or Jay’s shoes, I would have done the same thing. Everybody is already in their business as it is. You see how quickly everyone found out about Friday’s wedding, and no one was intentionally told. Just imagine how it would have went down if they had announced to the world!

But if Beyonce is indeed pregnant, congratulations. But I’ve been a fan of hers for years, so I already know not to expect an official word from anyone in her camp, or even Jay’s for that matter. Hell, they’ve been married for almost a week now and neither of their publicists have spoken up.

One thing about a pregnancy though. Time will eventually tell…

If you recently read reports from MTV UK, then you’re probably under the impression that rapper Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer secretly tied the knot in Paris last month. West, who proposed to Phifer during an Italian vacation in 2006, was said to have exchanged vows with the designer while vacationing in Europe in February 2008. However, a representative for the hip-hop superstar insists the marriage reports are “untrue”.

In other Kanye news, a video for Homecoming, the latest single from his multi-platinum album, Graduation, will be released soon! He posted caps from the video on his blog last week.

The New York Post’s popular gossip column, Page Six is reporting that fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons might be pregnant with her third child.

Kimora Lee Simmons finally has her long-sought-after bun in the oven. The demanding diva has been trying for a child with her lover, Djimon Honsou, and sources say the two have finally made magic. “She’s pregnant,” a source told us. A rep for Simmons couldn’t get a hold of her client for five days. Simmons already has two children, Ming and Aoki, by ex-husband Russell Simmons.

… He even gives MediaTakeOver a quick shout-out! “I’mma just put it on YouTube right now … I don’t really do this … but it’s funny to me!” The young R&Ber says in a jokingly, yet serious manner, “the media always builds you up to get you down [and] I just want to tell all my fans out there that we don’t carry, or conduct, ourselves like that”. Honestly, the best advice I can come up with for Chris, or any celebrity, is to just ignore the rumors. Becos the more you entertain them, and feed into them, you begin to justify them. That’s a no-brainier.

And to the people unaware, MediaTakeOver is obviously a site you shouldn’t be taking seriously. I mean, if that is where you go for reliability and justification, I don’t know what to tell you …

Earlier this week, a rumor started circulating that Chris Brown and Bow Wow got into a scuffle and it allegedly ended in Bow Wow spitting on Chris. The reason? “Technical difficulties” … as usual. Now, if you remember correctly, not too long ago, Bow Wow threw a temper tantrum that landed him in the hospital because he hurt his hand. That actually turned out to be true, as confirmed by the mini-rapper himself. But according to the first half of “Bowmarion,” this latest rumor holds no truth. This is what he told MTV.com:

“Man, listen,” Bow said via phone while visiting a mall in Tampa, Florida, where he and Brown performed Monday night. “I just got off the phone with Chris. My mom called me and told me about the rumor. I called him and told him, and he started laughing. We was dying [with laughter]. Anybody who knows me or anybody who’s been around me knows I’m not that kind of person,” he continued. “I [felt bad] for New York [reality-TV star Tiffany Pollard] when she got spit on during ‘Flavor of Love.’ A wise man once taught me, the most vicious thing you can do is spit on somebody. It’s just a rumor. It’s a big rumor. I would never do that. That’s not being a man, that’s a sissy act.”

A sissy act, eh? I’m just gonna leave that alone… Lol

Another day, another rumor of Beyonce and Jay-Z getting married. You should know the drill by now. A British tabloid is claiming that the two tied the knot in front of family and friends during a secret wedding at Giorgio Armani’s house in Paris last month. All the guests were reportedly sworn to secrecy, and reps for the newlyweds have been emphatically denying rumors that the couple tied the knot. But a snitch revealed the rumors of a secret wedding are true.

It was a lovely, intimate ceremony and a very emotional wedding. They wanted to avoid all the usual fuss and attention that normally follows them everywhere and celebrate with the closest people in their lives. Beyonce, like always, looked absolutely radiant, and couldn’t stop smiling. The pair of them looked thrilled.

That same tabloid is also claming that Jay proposed to Beyonce during their vacation in the Mediterranean resort of Cannes, France, in May 2007. The snitch added to Britain’s News Of The World newspaper: “It was the wedding they both wanted. After all, they were getting married in the most romantic city in the world.”

FANTASIA AND HER 6-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ZION

According to a few sources, over the past 9 months Fantasia has been missing a few shows (50+ to be exact lol) due to exhaustion/being sick. Needless to say, the folks at Broadway weren’t happy. When the star doesn’t show, a stand-in fills in for them, and the people who attend the show are entitled to a refund. So they lose a lot of money when this happens. But anyhow, back to the rumor. Apparently the NY Post’s Michael Riedel added to the story stating that the American Idol winner was pregnanty with Young Dro’s baby, making it seem like that was the reason why she was missing all of the shows. Fantasia has since then come out and clarified all of the misconceptions with a statement:

It is true that she has missed some performances because she has gotten sick from time to time over the nine months, but doing eight shows a week is a lot so she missed a few.

Fantasia, who already has a 6-year-old daughter, Zion Quari, is scheduled to end her extended Broadway run as Miss Celie on January 6th. Chaka Khan and Bebe Winans join the cast as Sofia and Harpo on January 9th. Check out our clear up of the rest of the rumors after the jump!

There have been numerous rumors about Queen Latifah and her sexuality, but recently the rumors have escalated into her potentially marrying her longtime girlfriend.

Media Take Out ((insert eye-roll here)) is reporting that the Queen recently popped the question to her girlfriend of 4 years. A formal public announcement is supposed to follow very soon, which means that home girl will finally be coming out of the closet. Good for her! If it’s true, of course lol…

Are you surprised about hearing the news? Will your feelings about her change at all if this turns out to be true? Tell us how you feel in the comments!!

Queen Latifah is currently on the roster with Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Faizon Love, Katt Williams, Terrence Howard, and more, for the new movie The Perfect Holiday, which hits theaters this Wednesday, December 12th!

Hip-hop legend Nasir Jones, 34, is completely baffled at recent reports of the supposed “relapse” of his upcoming album, slated to be release December 11th. As you may know, there has been continues claims of [ the label's ] impediment towards the project and even the preposterous rumor of “inevitable” withdrawal. But the emcee insists ^[1] that you shouldn’t believe anything you’ve heard about Def Jam, or the rumor about him chaning his album’s title for that matter.

“I don’t know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam,” Nas stated, early yesterday morning, in a Manhattan recording studio when asked about a recent article published earlier this week. “None of us knows where that came from.”

Nas, now making an example out numerous blogs and media outlets, has added more controversy by changing his album’s name from the term “N*gga” to “N*gger”. -_-

“You ain’t got no business worrying about what the word ‘n*gger’ is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me,” Nas addresses the recent remarks made by political advocate Rev. Jesse Jackson among others.

Well, y’all . . . pro/cons? Me, I think I’ve come to the point of ultra liberalness, so it isn’t really concerning/uncomprehending to me. I’m sure there is logic behind this; I don’t think we should pass judgment so quickly. However, you are entitled to your discretion so feel free to discuss in the commenting section if you would like. [ SOURCE ]

LUDACRIS … GAY? » This Jonathan Jaxson guy is making a name for himself. He’s a “Hollywood Publicist turned blogger” or what I would call someone who knows some information and is running his mouth. He must want to get sued. Anyhow, this bit of information is one that you need to take with a grain of salt. He recently made a post OUTING a ton of well-known male celebrities, and Chris Bridges bka Ludacris was included:

Ludacris, back when he was “Chris Luva-Luva”, was sleeping with a random gay guy, who is now a gay porn star. The porn stars name is Gordon. I don’t know what his porn name is…

QWANELL FROM MAKING THE BAND … GAY? Now you know we couldn’t properly execute a “Rumor Mill” without one of MEDIA FAKE OUT’s lovely posts! They heard from a “source” whom they deem as “reliable” that one of the members of Diddy’s new band (Making the Band 4) is on the downlow. His hints lead up to Qwanell. Now I’ve always thought Qwanell was a little “ehh” ((waves hand back and forth)) so I don’t know about this one. CLICK HERE to check out the post though!

WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS Q!!!! TAKE IT FROM ME… THE KING OF ALL DL [EXPLETIVE]!!!! HE IS NOT ONE OF US…. Q IS A STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN BOTTOM ASS [EXPLETIVE]. I HOPE I DO NOT GET IN TROUBLE FOR THIS, BUT HERE IT GOES……. I AM REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WITH JOHNATHON, WHO QUIT THE SHOW DURING THE DANCE EPISODE WITH LAURA. HE GETS DOWN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, AND TOLD ME THE Q OFTEN HIT ON HIM AND TRIED TO GET WITH HIM OFF CAMERA. BEING THAT DIDDY IS A HOMO HIMSELF, HE COULD SMELL THE GAY ACTION GOING DOWN. HE APPROACHED THEM BOTH AND TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAN THE [EXPLETIVE] UP QUICK OR BE KICKED OFF BECAUSE HE COULD NOT HAVE HOMO DUDES IN THE BAND OR ON THE SHOW. LET ME NOT MENTION THAT HE MADE A PASS AT ONE OF THEM AND TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO THINGS THEY MAY NOT LIKE IN ORDER TO ADVANCE. HE WAS NEVER REALLY AROUND AS YOU SAW, SO SOME [EXPLETIVE] HAD TO STEP UP AND DO THINGS FOR A CHANCE AT FAME OFF CAMERA.

KELLY’S MOVING ON? » A little birdie came to my window, and told me that Kelly Rowland is a little heated that Beyonce is touring at the same time that she is trying to “promote” her sophomore LP “Miss Kelly.” To be frank, I’d be angry too! Y’allk now they left homegirl high and dry LOL. Celebrity informants claim that the former DC3 singer will soon be leaving the Mathew Knowles management camp, replacing Mr. Knowles with Timbaland. I’m all for Kelly leaving Music World Music and everything, but Timbaland? C’mon now! Fact or fiction? YOU BE THE JUDGE!

I know some of ya’ll heard some rumors that Brooke Valentine was let go by her label, Virgin Records, recently. Here is what she had to say about the falsehood of rumors via MySpace:

Okay true I haven’t logged in, due to the fact that I’ve been extra go-go!

Sorry for the delay:)
and special thanks to those that have been sending their love! I still read the comments daily:)

However I just had to login and straighten up a false rumor that I was dropped from my label LOL! 1st off the label that I am signed to is SUBLIMINAL ENTERTAINMENT which was distributed by Virgin Records and Virgin was responsible for marketing and promoting my records…
News Flash: I am still signed to Subliminal I’ve been fighting for a release from Virgin for a long time! and it’s no secret that they suck!

The reason my album wasn’t released was because we refused to turn the album in to Virgin Records knowing that they would just drop the ball just like they did Janet’s album and every other album they released:(

Now after all this time God answered my prayers.
I wanted to tell yall sooner but, I couldn’t speak on it because of legal mumbo jumbo… it didn’t come cheap but, it was well worth it in the end. It was so sweet that some of you felt sorry for me but, please don’t because I couldn’t be more excited with my new situation and it’s a true blessing to finally be free!
Thanks again for your real love and support!

P.S. …And I’m definitely coming!!!!!

Well I’m glad she cleared that up, and yes, I do agree with that comment on Virgin Records – LOL! I think Brooke has a lot of great potential, Chain Letter was highly underrated man, but because of Virgin’s non-promoting asses it didn’t do well as planned.

Do y’all remember those candid photos we posted of OMARION AND RIHANNA back in April? Well apparently more have popped up via O’s MySpace! Are they just friends? I don’t know about that one homie. Y’all know he has a special spot under homegirl’s Umbrella! Ella ella ey ey ey! That’s not a bad thing though, I’d smash too!! Check out more candid photos of the two friends (with benefits) after the cut!

ARE EDDIE MURPHY AND TRACEY EDMONDS ENGAGED? » Eddie Murphy’s current squeeze, movie producer Tracey Edmonds, showed up at the Hollywood premiere of her comedy “Who’s Your Caddy?” with a big rock on her left ring finger. “A really sweet, wonderful, beautiful gift that this man gave me,” she gushed. An engagement ring? People.com reports that Murphy said: “If I were gonna do an engagement ring, it would be much bigger.” Fact or fiction? YOU BE THE JUDGE! But didn’t Tracy and Babyface just FINALIZE THEIR DIVORCE not too long ago??

THE WEDDING’S OFF! » I guess those untold convictions finally caught up with her gold digging ass! The wedding between Usher and his pregnant fiance has been canceled, his publicist told The Associated Press earlier today. The wedding between the multiplatinum singer and his longtime girlfriend, Tameka Foster, was scheduled for Saturday. The pair are expecting their first child together sometime this fall. However, a statement released by publicist Patti Webster exclusively to the AP read:

“It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected.”

Too late to call it quits now Usher, you’re still gonna be hooked to her for life. Child support is a bitch! Just ask Diddy end Eddy =)

Remember THIS POST? Well apparently, that’s not Eva! Eva “The Diva” Pigford is said to be the subject of a sex tape that is in circulation and there’s an actual video capture floating around the net claiming it to be Eva herself (see link above). Eva is so furious about all the hoopla she sent out a myspace bulletin saying the following:

The rumors need to stop. And…
I just read a ton of messages. I want to thank all of you so much for your never ending love. I love you ten time over. MUAH!

-E

The model’s MYSPACE PAGE also says, “THE PHOTOS OF ‘EVA’ THAT HAVE BEEN LEAKED ONTO THE INTERNET ARE NOT OF EVA AT ALL. WE DON’T KNOW WHO THE YOUNG LADY IN THE PHOTOS IS. UNDERSTAND THAT THE PHOTOS ARE NOT EVA PIGFORD! NO FURTHER ANSWERS WLLL BE GIVEN TO THIS RUMOR. THANK YOU!”

Apparantly, there’s a porn star that resembles Eva and that is the person in the screengrab we posted. Check out a video of her (not Eva) HERE. Obviously, this is NSFW. Might wanna wait ’til you get home to check this one out! Thanks to Lexie over at STRAIGHT OUTTA NYC for the e-mail. No word on the strip tease video we posted though, we’ll keep you posted!!

FORMER ‘AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL’ WINNER EVA is about to pull the ol’ “Ray-J” on us folks, by “allegedly” staring in her own sextape escapade, set to hit the internet very soon we hear! There have also been rumored claims about recent sightings of Eva performing exclusively at a local LA strip club – watch the footage after the cut! Viewer discretion is advised, but if that ain’t Eva Marcille Pigford when I see her … I don’t know though, not much really going on, but she looks hot in the video! What do you guys think?

Check out what I recently read over at CONCRETE LOOP!

I am Claudia Jordan and I need to clarify this story that is being MISREPORTED.

….Diddy wasn’t attempting to date me or hit on me. I approached him at the BET rehearsals and ASKED HIM to take a few pictures with me for my myspace page and then I took some more later on at the awards with him as well as with several other celebs. These photos were TAKEN FROM MY SLIDE SHOW PAGE which I thought was private. He was a perfect gentleman and was just taking a photo with a fan.

Hmm, sounds believable. Diddy’s still the biggest manwhore you’ll ever meet though. I still stand behind that particular theory =)

Well, it’s not like we didn’t already know! Besides the fact of him having 5 kids by 2 different women (not too bad), the dude is the epitome of a man-whore. He’s even said it himself in interviews. When asked if he can go all night without having a female entourage keeping company, he said “When I dress, I like to put on some Marvin Gaye … I invite a few women into my room and we have a few drinks.I try to be good, I really do. But sometimes that’s just too hard.” in an interview a few months back. Anyhow, some pictures recently surfaced on CONCRETELOOP of Diddy and BET host Claudia Jordan looking very comfortable with each other! Hmm…. Go to the site to read up on how Diddy is “feeling her.” I wonder what Kim would say about this, not like she’d care or anything like that =)

Ain’t karma a bitch? There’s a new rumor out and it involves Foxy Brown getting the beat-down … hey, that rhymes! Allegedly, Foxy’s ex boyfriend called on some of his hoes to beat the piss out of Foxy. They even pulled out her hearing aid and tore out her weave! Homegirl didn’t even hear them coming, ain’t that ’bout a bitch?? Oh, and get this … dude was a PIMP! And that’s why she broke it off with him. Anyhow, they jumped on her, beat her ass, stole her purse, and ran off with her life savings of $500 to do only God knows what else! Check out NY Daily News for more on this “breaking story!” Oh, and if you’re still debating on whether or not you think Foxy deserved this, check out THIS link!

DO YOU THINK IT’S TRUE?

Well, as you may know..There have been numerous rumors reporting that Bad Boy artist Cassie has been dropped, there may actually be some truth to it, according to Bossip.com on the singer’s MySpace, she has removed Diddy off of her top Friend’s Space and has even changed “Bad Boy Records” to Ryan Leslie’s Indie record label “NextSelection Lifestyle Group”. Cassie’s rumored titled sophomore album, Still Cassie, is set to drop September 18th of this year, the question is under Bad Boy or NextSelection? Hopefully these rumors are false true because it’s not like she was going anywhere with Bad Boy. Producers for Cassie’s upcoming album will be, of course, Ryan Leslie and Robin Thicke so who knows! This album may be a hit…

She said that! Shar claims that the RUMOR that was put out a few days ago claiming she was with child is just that … a rumor! She insists that she hasn’t had sex in ages, and was quoted as saying:

“There’s absolutely no action going on in my uterus! I got a call from a bunch of people. I was like, ‘Wow, maybe I need to go and find out something about myself.’ I’m no expert, but I hear you have to actually have sex… hasn’t been happening.”

Totally not true Shar! I guess someone didn’t take sex ed classes in high school. Experts say that sperm cells swim and can live outside the body for some time, and if sperm is within a couple inches (or miles in K Fed’s case) of your “parts down there” then you could in fact become pregnant! That damn Kevin is so fertile he could sneeze and get a girl pregnant. It’s happened before. Anyhow, Shar says she has no plans on getting pregnant anytime soon. Why? “I just got a tummy tuck a few months ago; I’m not trying to ruin my new body” – Shar. Yeah, that’s a pretty good reason … I guess? *shrugs shoulders*
