Beyonce is back!

The singer kicked off her four-night stay at the Revel Resort in Atlantic City Friday night (May 25), her first concert performance since last year’s “4 Intimate Nights with Beyonce” at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom, and her first time on stage since giving birth to Blue Ivy in January.

“I gotta say … it feels so good to be back home on stage,” Beyonce told the crowd of 5,500 fans who packed into the $2.5 billion resort.

Following an opening set from R&B newcomer Luke James, Beyonce took the stage for over two hours and performed a ton of her hits, plus a cover of Lauryn Hill‘s “Ex Factor” and a cover of Whitney Houston‘s “I Will Always Love You” in tribute to the late R&B icon.

Among those in attendance for Beyonce’s comeback concert were her proud father (and former manager) Mathew Knowles, her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, supermodel Selita Ebanks, and of course, her husband Jay-Z, who, after the show, proudly tweeted:

“I’m gonna say this and then I’m gonna end mine.” BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period.

The child custody battle between Usher Raymond and his ex wife Tameka continued in court in Atlanta this week, and Usher was accused of cheating on Tameka … by sleeping with one of her bridesmaids!

During the proceedings Tuesday afternoon (May 22) in Fulton County Court, Usher was being cross-examined by Tameka’s attorney about his claim that Tameka has a revolving door of nannies, and that he worries about who’s caring for his children at any given moment.

Then things got really interesting once Tameka’s lawyer brought up an incident where Usher was caught in bed with one of the “nannies” — who was a good friend of Tameka’s and also one of the bridesmaids at their 2007 wedding.

According to TMZ:

Tameka’s lawyer asked Usher if one of the nannies in question had “left Miami because you were discovered in bed with Maya Fox Davis?” Sources close to the couple tell TMZ Davis was a bridesmaid for Tameka … and the alleged incident happened during their marriage.

Usher’s attorney quickly objected, but you gotta watch the clip (see above) to see how it played out in court.

But get this … Maya Fox Davis was conveniently pictured with Usher and his first born son (Usher V aka “Cinco”) in September 2008 … which is when Tameka was 7 months pregnant with Cinco’s baby brother Naviyd!

At the time, magazines and websites called the then-unidentified woman Usher’s “nanny” … but now, we all know better.

The photos show Usher and Maya playing on the swing with little Cinco … and in one of the pics, Maya can be seen leaning in and giving Cinco a peck on the lips … which, at the time, was pretty awkward to say the least, and now that we know who this woman really is … WOW!!!

Earlier this week, Usher teared up on the stand when Tameka’s lawyers insinuated that the R&B singer cares more about partying than he does about taking care of his two sons.

Usher is fighting for increased visitation, while Tameka is fighting for full custody.

Unless Usher and Tameka can work all of this mess out amongst themselves — and let’s be serious, that’s most likely NOT going to happen — the child custody trial will resume this July.

Bill Clinton raised more than a few eyebrows this week when a photo popped up on the Internet of the former president posing in between two famous porn stars — Brooklyn Lee and Tasha Reign — at a fundraising event in Monaco.

The picture, which was taken at the “Nights in Monaco” gala in Monte Carlo, was first posted to TMZ, then spread like wildfire all over the web, because, well … it’s Bill Clinton … posing with two porn stars!

But how did the “shocking” photo come about?

The porn actresses called TMZ and explained how they attended the gala — which was a fundraiser for the Clinton Foundation and Prince Albert of Monaco’s charitable foundation — as guests of FriendFinder CEO and Penthouse magazine owner Marc Bell.

“We had our own table and everything, dining side by side with Bill, and the prince, and everybody,” Lee told TMZ. “He kind of was looking over at us every once in a while, and we’re huge psycho fans of Bill–we just think he’s really cute.”

The women say initially approached Clinton in the hopes of meeting him and having their picture taken with him … but Bill’s Secret Service agents brushed them off.

When Bill caught the girls out the corner of his eye, he told his SS agents to call them back, and he took a quick picture and chatted with them briefly.

“It was brief–he’s really, really sweet. I just told him that I loved him, I thought he was a great president, and he just kind of winked and smiled and gave us hugs,” Lee said, describing Clinton as “very sweet and cool about the whole thing.”

Brooklyn Lee and Tasha Reign said that they were unsure, but hopeful, that the former president knew who they were, and they felt bad about the negative press Clinton received over the picture.

“I kind of feel like he knows [who we are],” Lee said. “We hope he likes us and we hope he likes to watch our movies.” Reign agreed: “I have a feeling that everyone watches adult entertainment.”

Meanwhile, Marc Bell — who, as we previously mentioned, invited the girls to the event — says that the media is blowing the whole thing out of proportion, and Bill Clinton had no idea who the women were.

“It’s unfortunate that a harmless picture has gotten so much play,” Bell said. “It wasn’t done for publicity, it wasn’t done for malice, it was done because they thought it was really cool to meet the president.”

He continued, “He didn’t even know who they were. When he met them, he had no idea who they were. They were there not under their stage names. They were there under their real names … The man had no clue.”

Of course he didn’t. ;)

Kim Kardashian tweeted this awkward-looking picture of her brother-in-law Scott Disick and younger brother Rob Kardashian fast asleep at the airport, with Scott’s head resting comfortably on a pillow placed in between Rob’s crotch.

“This is how I caught Rob Kardashian and Scott Disick at the airport passed out sleeping! LOL”

In case you didn’t already know … Kim Zolciak from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” has her own reality show now called “Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding,” which follows Zolciak as she prepares for her November 2011 wedding to NFL player Kroy Biermann.

On the episode that aired this week, Kim decided to surprise her then fiance (now husband) with a “sexy” (?) wedding gift … which turned out to be a topless photoshoot where the 34-year-old reality star stripped down to her waist, and had her entire upper-body painted to look like Biermann’s #71 Atlanta Falcons football jersey.

“To me that is sexy,” Kim said, explaining her reasoning for the body paint.

Porn queen Jenna Jameson was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Friday morning (May 25) in Orange County, CA.

According to OC police, Jameson was involved in a car accident at around 1:30 am when she lost control of her Range Rover, and crashed into a light pole.

The 38-year-old sustained minor injuries in the crash, but refused medical treatment.

TMZ says she was a crying mess after the crash, telling people, “I just want to go home.”

TMZ obtained the 911 call made by a woman who claims she witnessed the porn legend driving like a drunk person before she smashed her Range Rover into a pole in Orange County, CA just after midnight.

“I was actually getting ready to call you guys because she was drunk,” the caller told the 911 operator … adding, “Next thing I know she went into the pole.”

The caller asked Jenna if she needed paramedics, to which she replied, “No, I just want to go.” She can later be heard wailing in the background, “I’m Jenna Jameson.”

Police say when they arrived on the scene, she showed signs of possibly being under the influence of alcohol, and was given a field sobriety test, which she failed. She was immediately arrested and booked for suspicion of drinking and driving, which is a misdemeanor.

Jenna Jameson, who is considered to be the world’s most famous adult-entertainment performer, has appeared in over a hundred pornographic films, and has made double-digit millions off her lucrative porn career. She confirmed her retirement from the adult entertainment industry in 2008.

Jameson has twin sons — Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette — with her on-and-off boyfriend, UFC mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz.

Lil Wayne has already let everyone know how he feels about Pusha T after the G.O.O.D. Music rapper dissed him and his YMCMB crew this week on his “Exodus 23:1″ song … but now he has responded to the diss on a new track called “Goulish!”

LISTEN: Pusha T Fires Shots at Lil Wayne, Drake and Young Money with “Exodus 23:1? Diss Track

When Weezy first caught wind of Pusha T’s diss track, in which he fires a few (not-so) subliminal shots at not just Lil Wayne, but Drake and the rest of the Cash Money/Young Money team, Wayne tweeted:

“Fuk pusha t and anybody that love em”

And as it turns out … that’s the first line of the minute-and-a-half long diss track, which was produced by Swizz Beatz.

Before helping his team defeat the Indiana Pacers and end their playoff run Thursday night (May 24) in Game 6 … Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat already had people talking, and it had nothing to do with his skills on the court.

Dressed in a white button-up shirt and a pair of hot pink pants (and matching pink/white sneakers), the NBA player made one hell of a fashion statement as he made his way into the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. (See below)

Rick Kamla from NBA TV called Wade’s choice of wardrobe a “flagrant fashion foul,” but the Heat guard embraced the criticism in the post-game interview.

“I know they’re killing me in the studio over my pants,” he said. “And they’re just mad they can’t pull it off.”

Accroding to ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, even Dwyane’s own teammate LeBron James made fun of him before the game.

LeBron James: “Damn, for real, those are close-out pants? And the finger sleeve?”

Dwyane Wade: “You gotta coordinate.”

James: “You look like Eddie Murphy in the ’80s”

Wade: “Eddie Murphy wishes he looked like me.”

After he changed into his basketball gear, Dwyane Wade went on to score 41 points and 10 rebounds, assisting his teammates in their 105 to 93 victory over the Pacers. Not too bad for a guy who wears hot pink pants.

Your thoughts on Dwyane Wade and his hot pink pants?

It’s back to business for Beyonce!

The R&B/Pop diva is gearing up for her big return to the stage tonight, as part of four shows that will take place this weekend at the $2.4 billion Revel Resort in Atlantic City, her first live concert performances since last September’s “4 Intimate Nights with Beyonce” concert series.

The concerts will also serve as her first time on stage since giving birth to Blue Ivy back in January.

Further raising anticipation for the performances, Beyonce has released behind-the-scenes video footage of the show, showing her fans the intimate happenings on the other side of the stage.

“It is exciting … I feel a little nervous,” she says in the clip. “I’m enjoying being a mother so it’s like going back to an old job and it’s a little strange but it’s important that you don’t lose yourself, that you have your own passions. And I’m back to work, I’m back to business.”

Watch the clip (Part 1 of 2) below:

Kim Kardashian was on hand to support her boyfriend Kanye West Wednesday night (May 23) in Cannes, France at the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival, where the rapper premiered his new movie “Cruel Summer.”

The G.O.O.D. Music film, produced, written and directed by Kanye, stars Kid Cudi, Aziz Ansari and others; and centers around a car thief (Kid Cudi) who falls for a beautiful, blind Arabic girl and attempts to help her see again.

Dressed in matching, color-coordinating outfits — something they always do, apparently — Kim and Kanye held each other closely as they posed for pictures on the red carpet outside the movie premiere.

Kanye’s “big bro” Jay-Z was also on hand at the event, and took some pictures with Kim and Kanye.

Contrary to what you may see in movies and on TV … Meagan Good is a “good” girl.

Years ago, after several failed relationships, Meagan Good — who is known for her sexy vixen-like acting roles — vowed to herself that she wouldn’t have sex again until she was married, and apparently she kept her promise.

The 30-year-old actress reveals in a recent interview with Life & Style Magazine that she and her preacher man fiancee DeVon Franklin have remained celibate for the past year, and their wedding night will be the first time they have sex.

“Our wedding night will be the first time we’re actually together.”

Meagan and DeVon, a Seventh Day Adventist preacher, started dating shortly after running into each other on the set of “Jumping the Broom,” where DeVon was working his day job as a Sony film executive. She says they had known each other for six years before that.

The future Mrs. Franklin said that when they started dating, she knew DeVon was ‘the one’ because he was willing to be celibate with her until they got married. She told Life & Style:

“He was willing to be celibate with me for a year … He loves God, more than I love God, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong [with him].”

Last month, Meagan explained to Global Grind what ultimately brought her to the decision to become celibate:

“I was crying about so much at the time that God told me exactly what it was going to be and he told me that the next relationship that I got into was going to be ‘the’ relationship. God told me specifically what the criteria was with the man I was going to marry and he told me to not settle.

“So I would meet guys who are Christians or loved the Lord, but they weren’t trying with all their heart to walk with him. And I wouldn’t feel in myself that that was the guy, so even if I liked him or was attracted to him I would say, ‘OK I’m not going to settle.’

“Then shortly after that I became celibate. I said, ‘Alright Lord, let’s see what you have for me.’ Oddly enough, Devon and I had known each other for six years and [Jumping The Broom] wrapped nine moments before we even dated. During a couple of those months before, it started getting in my spirit that he was going to be my husband and he didn’t even know.

“I came and did this thing in his church where I talked about my testimony. I already told my godsister in the car on the way over there. Oh, he’s my husband I know that. And we didn’t start dating till three months after that.”

And while Meagan isn’t ready to reveal their wedding date just yet, she did reveal the luxurious location.

“We found the venue, which I’m really excited about, and it’s going to be in Malibu,” she told Life & Style. “I know I want to go for a bayou-themed kind of Spanish mosque, a very enchanted-y Twilight feel.”

Chris Brown uses the rain to seduce women in his steamy new music video for “Sweet Love,” the Polow Da Don-produced single off his upcoming fifth album “Fortune,” which is due in stores July 3rd.

Check out the “Sweet Love” video, which Breezy directed himself, below:

Eddie Murphy and Rocsi Diaz have ignited rumors that they are dating after they were spotted holding hands while out on a coffee run in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon (May 24).

The paparazzi snapped a series of photos of the veteran A-list actor and the (former) BET “106 & Park” host as they were seen with huge smiles on their faces exiting a Coffee Bean in Los Angeles while holding hands, and gazing into each other’s eyes.

The casually dressed twosome appeared to be VERY comfortable with one other … but they stopped holding hands and making googly eyes at each other once they noticed the flashing lights from photographers, and sped off in Eddie’s Benz.

According to sources, Rocsi — who was recently fired from her hosting gig on “BET’s 106 & Park” along with her co-host Terrence J — has caught the acting bug, and is moving to L.A. to further her career … and obviously her “new boo” Eddie Murphy can help out in that department.

And at 28 years old, Rocsi clearly has a thing for older men too … from LisaRaye McCoy‘s 40-something-year-old (now) ex-husband Michael Misick, to 46-year-old Raphael Saadiq, to now, 51-year-old Eddie Murphy.

Rocsi also has a thing for younger men too, as she has been linked to her former “106 & Park” co-host Terrence J in the past, and at one point, was rumored to be dating R&B singer Bruno Mars too, so yeah … she definitely “gets around” with ALL types of men.

But Rocsi doesn’t want us to think that way about her … because in response to the rumors that she’s ‘gettin it in’ with Eddie Murphy, she told Global Grind:

“We are not dating we were just getting coffee.”

Riiiight. And y’all were just holding hands to cross the street, too … and making googly eyes at each other because the sun was so bright.

Do you think Rocsi and Eddie Murphy are dating?

Jennifer Lopez was among the many performers who hit the stage during Wednesday night’s (May 23) “American Idol” Season 11 finale.

Dressed in a sparkly tank top and matching “drop-crotch” harem pants, Lopez started off her performance by debuting her new single “Goin In.”

She then ripped off her vest-like tank top, revealing a sequined studded bra and her perfectly toned stomach underneath, and was joined by Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel for a performance of their song “Follow the Leader.”

Check out the pics and video below:

Fantasia, take notes. THIS is how you rock a catsuit on live network TV!

Chaka Khan — who is celebrating a recent 60-pound weight loss — hit the stage Wednesday night (May 23) during the live “American Idol” finale wearing a sparkly, figure-hugging catsuit just like Fantasia. But Chaka actually looked good in hers. (Sorry, Tasia!)

The 59-year-old music legend performed a medley of her hits, including “Ain’t Nobody” and “Through the Fire” and also joined in with other female “Idol” finalists for a big group performance of “I’m Every Woman.” (Watch below)

And the Twitterverse’s reaction to her catsuit was more positive than their response to Fantasia’s.

Fantasia Barrino shocked viewers — and not in a good way — when she hit the stage Wednesday night (May 23) to perform on “American Idol” during the show’s finale.

Dressed in a really tight black sequin catsuit — with a split down both sides of her legs that showed off her post-baby body (and not in a good way) — the R&B songstress sang a gospel-infused version of Elton John’s “Take Me to the Pilot” with former Idol finalist Joshua Ledet, who is often called the “male version of Fantasia” and considers the singer to be the biggest inspiration in his life. (Watch below)

But back to that catsuit…

While Fantasia might have thought her outfit was “cute” … most viewers did not. And they made sure to let it be known via Twitter, with one user calling the outfit the “worst article of clothing anyone has ever worn.” (Ouch!)

Fantasia's split, sequin catsuit might be the single worst article of clothing anyone has ever worn. And that's not hyperbole #Idol

Rihanna showed off a new hairstyle last night (Wed May 23) when she hit the stage during the “American Idol” finale.

After emerging from a laser-light pyramid in a box, Rihanna — rocking what looks like long dreadlock extensions — led a team of dancers through a highly energetic performance of her latest single “Where Have You Been.”

Earlier this week, Rihanna shared a few pictures of her new look with her Twitter followers, telling them she has wanted dreads since she was a teenager, but her mom wouldn’t let her get them. One fan asked her if her hair was heavy, and she said “as Goliath’s balls.”

“@DanielaEvans23: What made u want dreads babe? :) @rihanna their HOT! ;)” since I was 14, but mama Fent’z wasn’t havin it! Hehe

Looks like Pusha T has reignited his beef with Lil Wayne!

Last night, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper released “Exodus 23:1,” a new track from his forthcoming LP. In the song … Pusha fires subliminal shots at Drake, Lil Wayne and the rest of the Young Money team.

“Beef is when you hide behind them other ni**as/ But they ain’t killas, they ain’t pulling them triggas/ Fuck ni**as,” Pusha raps.

He continues, “Contract all fucked up/ I guess that means you all fucked up/ You signed to one ni**a, that’s signed to another ni**a, that’s signed to three ni**as/ Now that’s bad luck/ Damn that shit even the odds now/ You better off selling this hard now/ You call it living out your dreams/ You can’t fly without your wings.”

After hearing Pusha’s diss track, instead of dropping some hots bars in the booth … Wayne responded via a simple Tweet:

Fuk pusha t and anybody that love em

— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) May 24, 2012

And the beef goes on…

Former NBA MVP Allen Iverson was in the house Wednesday night (May 23) for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics.

Iverson received a standing ovation and a rousing applause from the crowd when he walked onto the court at the Wells Fargo Center and delivered the game ball to NBA referee Joey Crawford before the big showdown between the Sixers and the Celtics.

The 11-time All-Star and four-time scoring champ — who was the 1997 NBA Rookie of the Year and helped guide the Sixers to the 2001 NBA Finals — watched his former team defeat the Celtics (82 to 75) from a suite with NBA legend Julius Erving (aka Dr. J), and he spoke to the press and said that he isn’t ready to consider himself a retired NBA player.

“I’m not using that word [retirement] … I wanna play basketball so bad. The way it is right now, I’ve accepted the fact [the NBA] may not happen, but I still want to play basketball. If I can get an opportunity to where it’s gonna make me happy at the end of my career, I’ll take that opportunity. But I just love to play and I want to have another opportunity to play on the professional level.

Do you think Allen Iverson will ever play in the NBA again?

After much anticipation and a record-breaking 132 million votes cast from viewers, former pawn shop worker Phillip Phillips was crowned the Season 11 winner of “American Idol” during Wednesday night’s (May 23) finale, beating out 16-year-old home-schooled high school student Jessica Sanchez.

Phillips is the fifth male in a row to win Idol, as the show hasn’t crowned a female winner since Jordin Sparks in 2007.

“This doesn’t feel real,” he told reporters backstage after show. “It’s so unreal. It still hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s such a blessing. I have no idea why this happened. I just want to play music and I’m just a lucky guy.”

While the 21-year-old Georgia native is still recovering from his big win on “American Idol,” he’ll soon be recovering from surgery.

Thursday morning, Phillips called in to “Live! with Kelly” sand said that he only had “about two and a half hours of sleep” last night.

He was scheduled to appear on the show next week, but won’t be able to. “I’ve been sick this whole show. I’m trying to get all my work done, to recover,” the ‘American Idol’ winner explained.

Early on in the season, Phillip was hospitalized before the Top 13 results show after suffering from kidney pain. He later received a medical procedure to alleviate a blockage caused by kidney stones, and now that the show is over, he will undergo surgery soon.

“It’s been tough. I’ve had a lot of great people around me, great doctors. That helps out a lot,” he said.

When host Kelly Ripa asked him about his upcoming surgery, without revealing any details about what it was for, or when when exactly he’d be having it, Phillips said, “Yes, I’ll be having it here soon. I’m getting prepared for all that. I’m ready to feel better, feel like myself.”

Congrats on the big win Phillip Phillips … And get well soon so that you can really enjoy it!

Tune in on July 1st at 8pm when the 2012 BET Awards airs live from Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium!

Will you be watching … and who you want to win?

Controversial radio shock jock Howard Stern was actually doing pretty good at his new gig as a judge on “America’s Got Talent” … until he made a little kid cry, that is.

When Mir Money (pronounced “Meer Money”) — a 7-year-old rapper from Philadelphia — hit the stage, he had the whole crowd cheering and moving to his song … but Howard Stern wasn’t impressed, as hit he hit his red ‘X’ button after only a few seconds.

About a minute later, Sharon Osbourne hit her ‘X’ button and the youngster stopped his performance.

“Are you angry?” asked Howie Mandel. “No,” Mir said as Nick Cannon came on stage to give him a drink of water.

Within seconds, the little boy was in tears as Howard Stern tried to console him and explain why he buzzed him.

“First of all, you’re a very nice man, you know that … No one likes hitting the ‘X’ on a 7-year-old. You’re very brave to get up there at 7 years old,” Stern said as Mir Money broke down into tears.

At that point, the entire crowd was booing and host Nick Cannon gave little Mir Money a hug, jokingly calling Stern a “mean man.”

After seeing how upset the kid was, Stern then approached the stage, saying, “I’ll fix everything.” When he got to Mir Money, he leaned over and gave him a hug. “I’m so sorry. … You’re a terrific young man. You are so brave,” Stern said. “This job is too rough for me. I don’t really want to do it anymore.”

He continued, “I don’t want to make you cry … I’ve met many of great rappers … none of them are quite as great as you,” and he quickly made up with the young man. “Are we cool?” he asked, and Mir nodded, “Yes.”

Questioning his decision to take the judging gig, Stern later told Nick Cannon, “I’m not cut out for this, man. I’m not cut out for it. I’m shaking man, I’m shaking. I can’t do it, man. I can’t do it.”

Watch the clip below:

2 Chainz was arrested at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport early Tuesday (May 22) after officials found what they thought was a pair of “brass knuckles” in his carry-on luggage.

The Atlanta rapper (real name: Tauheed Epps), who also goes by the name “Tity Boi,” was taken into custody for misdemeanor possession of a weapon in the 4th degree, and spent at least 8 hours behind bars at the Queens County Central booking where he was formally charged.

Chainz, however, says that airport security was mistaken, and what they thought was a pair of brass knuckles was actually a harmless four-finger ring.

The ring says “DOPE” in big letters — and sources tell TMZ, 2 Chainz rocked it no problem at an Atlanta club called the Velvet Room on Sunday.

According to sources close to the rapper, Chainz then flew to NYC without incident — with the ring in his luggage — but when he tried to leave the city today, TSA at LaGuardia Airport mistook the jewelry for a dangerous weapon.

In a phone interview with MTV News, the “Riot” rapper called the arrest incident an assassination of his “character” and his “swag.”

“They tried to assassinate my character, they tried to assassinate my swag … It was just a negative dilemma earlier where someone misconstrued a piece of jewelry for a weapon and stuff.”

He then went on to explain the significance of his confiscated piece of jewelry:

“I do exclusive pieces. My pieces are actual conversation pieces, like literally. When you see my gold, it’s something to conversate about … People weren’t doing four-finger rings and all that. I like to set myself apart … I definitely wasn’t trying to beat nobody up on the plane or nothing.”

2 Chainz says he was on his way to perform at a concert in North Carolina, and he eventually pleaded to a lesser, unspecified charge, but never got his jewelry back.

“Yeah, they took it from me, they took the Louis [Vuitton] case that I actually keep the jewelry in, they took that. I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “Me just trying to explain it was getting too frustrating, me just trying to explain my occupation and then when they finally got to the jail and everybody knew who I was, then they started calling their kids and putting me on the phone with their kids. It was like a weird experience.”

Despite the obviously frustrating situation, 2 Chainz chooses to remain positive, as he is set to release his solo debut “Based on a T.R.U. Story” on August 14th, he’s on tour with Drake, and he’s currently involved with “Respect My Vote,” an initiative that encourages young people to get involved in the voting process.

Of his arrest, 2 Chainz said, “I don’t find that intriguing. You’re supposed to make your mistakes during adolescence and use these times right here to kinda fix some of the things you did in the past, so with me I’m doing Respect My Vote, I’m doing all kind of things to try to have some positive news.”

It’s been a minute since D’Angelo has been on the scene … but it looks like the “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” singer is on the verge of a comeback!

In his first interview (and magazine shoot) in 12 years, D’Angelo talks to the June 2012 issue of GQ Magazine about what he’s been up to in his time off from music, why he left the industry without warning over 10 years ago, his run-ins with the law, his struggles with substance abuse and more.

The interview also features quotes from the R&B crooner’s close friends, including Chris Rock, Questlove, and his baby mama, R&B singer Angie Stone.

Check out a few highlights from the issue below:

D’Angelo on the evil forces in music, and how much power music has:

“There’s forces that are going on that I don’t think a lot of motherf**kers that make music today are aware of. It’s deep. I’ve felt it. I’ve felt other forces puling at me.” He stubs out his cigarette and leans toward me, taking my hand. “This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in,” he says gravely. “I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of the energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you’ve got to be careful.”

D’Angelo on the response to the ‘Untitled’ video:

“One time I got mad when a female threw money at me onstage, and that made me feel like f**ked up, and I threw the money back at her. I was like, ‘I’m not a stripper.’”

Paul Hunter (Director of ‘Untitled’) on the video being misunderstood:

“Most people think the ‘Untitled’ video was about sex, but my direction was completely opposite of that. It was about his grandmother’s cooking. Think of your grandmother’s greens, how it smelled in the kitchen. What did the yams and the fried chicken taste like? That’s what I want you to express.” The video may have looked like foreplay, but it was actually about family, Hunter insists-about intimacy.

Later when I tell D’Angelo this, he says, “It’s so true: We talked about the Holy Ghost and the church before that take. The veil is the nudity and the sexuality. But what they’re really getting is the spirit.”

D’Angelo on battling substance abuse problems during his hiatus:

“I didn’t really think I had a problem like that,” he says, taking a hit off a Newport. “I felt like, you know, all I got to do is clean up and I’ll be fine. Just get in the studio and I’ll be fucking fine.”

D’Angelo on getting arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover female officer in 2006:

“It was just me making a stupid decision, a wrong turn, on the wrong night. I’m not the role-model motherfucker. Look at all the shit that I’ve been in.”

D’Angelo on Madonna:

When Madonna turned 39, she asked him to sing “Happy Birthday” at her party. One press report had her sitting on his lap and French-kissing him. In fact, two sources say that ultimately D rebuffed her advances at another gathering not long after. At that event, the sources say, Madonna walked over and told a woman sitting next to D, “I think you’re in my seat.” The woman got up. Madonna sat down and told him, “I’d like to know what you’re thinking.” To which D replied, “I’m thinking you’re rude.”

Chris Rock on black celebrities and fame:

“Black stardom is rough, dude,” Chris Rock tells me when I reach him to talk about D. “I always say Tom Hanks is an amazing actor and Denzel Washington is a god to his people. If you’re a black ballerina, you represent the race, and you have responsibilities that go beyond your art. How dare you just be excellent?”

Angie Stone — the mother of one of D’Angel’s kids — recalls an incident where she was pushed to the side at an awards show so he could walk the red carpet with Vivica Fox, instead of her:

Stone remembers an event in Manhatten in September 1996 that was billed as Giorgio Armani’s tribute to D’Angelo. Stone-thirteen years older than D-was three months pregnant with their son. They headed to the event together in a limo, but as they neared the venue where D was going to perform, it suddenly pulled over. “He was asked to get into another car, where he would be escorted by Vivica Fox,” Stone says, her voice breaking slightly. The lissome Fox had just appeared with Will Smith in the blockbuster Independence Day. “It was a Hollywood moment. They wanted a trophy girl. I had to walk in behind them to flashing cameras. It started the wheels turning of what was yet to come.”

Questlove — D’Angelo’s former bandleader — on his plans to escape stardom:

“On the last day of the eight-month [Voodoo] tour, Questlove says D’Angelo told him, ‘Yo man, I cannot wait until this fucking tour is over. I’m going to go in the woods, drink some hooch, grow a beard, and get fat.’ Questlove thought he was joking. ‘I was like, ‘You’re a funny guy.’ And then it started to happen. That’s how much he wanted to distance himself.”

Questlove on calling D’Angelo after Amy Winehouse’s death:

“D’s the first person I called,’ Questlove recalls. And I was just honest, like, ‘Look, man, I’m sorry. I know you’re thinking I’m avoiding you like the plague.’ I just said plain and simple, ‘Man, there was a period in which it seemed like you were hell-bent on following the footsteps of our idols, and the one thing you have yet to follow them in was death.’”

Questlove on black artists who are self-sabotaging:

Questlove has a theory about what happens to black genius—what he calls a “crazy psychological kind of stoppage that prevents them from following through. A sort of self-saboteur disorder.”

Check out the photoshoot (via GQ) below:

Earlier this week, Jay-Z announced that D’Angelo would be performing at the Budweiser Made in America Festival in Philadelphia this September.

D’Angelo — who re-emerged earlier this year in Stockholm and released a brand new song — is also scheduled to hit the stage this July during the annual Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.

Did you miss D’Angelo … and do you think he can bring good R&B music back?

Bobbi Kristina is reportedly being investigated for allegedly gambling underage at a Las Vegas resort.

Bobbi was in Vegas to attend the 2012 Billboard Music Awards where her late mother Whitney Houston was being honored.

On Monday, TMZ posted a video of the 19-year-old playing slot machines with her boyfriend/adopted brother Nick Gordon … which is illegal in the state of Nevada because gamblers have to be 21 years old.

Bobbi Kristina was facing off with a slot machine at the MGM Resort and Casino Saturday night … while hanging out with her 22-year-old boyfriend Nick Gordon.

It’s unclear if Bobbi actually won any money … but it’s highly unlikely she walked away with anything significant … because casinos usually require an I.D. before handing over large prizes … and ya gotta be 21 to gamble in Vegas.

In fact, people under the age of 21 are usually forbidden from hanging out ANYWHERE in the casino area … so it’s a bit surprising BK was able to pull up a chair and hang out with the one-armed bandit for as long as she did.

In a follow-up report TMZ added:

The MGM Grand in Vegas has launched an internal investigation into video footage showing Whitney Houston’s underage daughter Bobbi Kristina gambling at its casino this weekend.

In Nevada the legal gambling age is 21, and underage gambling is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in county jail or a $1,000 fine. MGM Resorts International could also face fines.

Underage gambling is a misdemeanor, and resort owner MGM Resorts International could face fines.

Mark Lipparelli, chairman of the Las Vegas Gaming Control Board confirmed that investigators from the Nevada Gaming Commission are looking into if Bobbi Kristina played any slot machines, and whether casino employees knew if she did. Spokesman Gordon Absher says The MGM Grand is cooperating with the investigation.

Bobbi Kristina just can’t stay out of trouble … can she?

Raven Symone is very private when it comes to her dating life, but the National Enquirer tried to force the former Disney star out of the closet last week, and now she is speaking out about the rumors, saying that her sexual orientation is nobody’s business but hers and the people she dates.

Rumors surrounding Raven Symone’s sexual orientation were first sparked by “sources” who told the highly credible National Enquirer that the former “Cosby Show” child star was shacking up in her New York City apartment with her lesbian lover, openly gay former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant AzMarie Livingston (pictured above).

According to the National Enquirer’s report:

“Raven has lost almost 30 Pounds, has done a whole image makeover, and now she is the star of ‘Sister Act’ on Broadway,” said a close source.

“She’s at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie. She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way. … She feels her parents are still trying to treat her like she’s a kid, and she’s told them she’s going to do what she wants.”

And that includes Raven maintaining her own love-nest apartment with her 24-year-old girlfriend, say insiders.

“Raven has hidden being gay for a long time now,” said the source. “But about a year ago, she was introduced by a friend to AzMarie, who is absolutely gorgeous.

“The two began see­ing each other, and a few months ago, Raven finally got the nerve to ask her to move into her lavish Manhattan condo. When her family found out, they blew their stack and it’s created a gay scandal for Raven.

“She told her parents she loves them, but her home – especially her bedroom – is nobody’s business, and she was not going to back down, so they needed to accept it, period.”

After the story hit the Internet, Raven initially ignored it, but after a few days, she finally addressed the rumors — without either confirming or denying them — via Twitter:

I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now.

My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m datings to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life.

However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone.

I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!

Kreayshawn teams up with rapper-of-the-moment 2 Chainz in the video for “Breakfast (Syrup),” the first single off the pint-sized Bay area rapper’s debut album “Somethin’ Bout Kreay,” due in stores August 14th.

Watch below:

After several weeks of grueling rehearsals, show-stopping performances and nail-biting eliminations … NFL player Donald Driver and his professional dance partner Peta Murgatroyd were crowned the winners of the 14th season of “Dancing with the Stars.”

When Donald heard his name called as the winner, the football star literally stopped, dropped and rolled. (Watch below)

Driver — who says that he’s been a longtime fan of the show and has watched every season — ran around the ballroom dance floor, screaming in excitement when he found out he and his partner had beat out Katherine Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas for the coveted mirror ball trophy. “Amazing! This is awesome!” he said, excitedly punching his fist in the sky.

On Monday night, for their first dance, Donald and Peta did the Argentine tango, and head judge Len Goodman told Driver that she loved his intensity, while the other judges told him they thought the way he told a story through dance was moving.

Driver and Murgatroyd received a score of 29 and 30 for that round.

During the second round (the freestyle round), Don and Peta two-stepped to country music, a risky move in ballroom dancing … however, the judges loved it, and judge Carrie Ann Inaba jumped on top of the table and screamed, “This is my favorite dance of the season!”

For that round, Donald and Peta earned a perfect score (30/30).

On Tuesday night’s finale, the Green Bay Packers wide receiver and his partner did a crowd-pleasing cha-cha that gave them another perfect score of 30.

“We’ve had some great footballers on the show over the years,” Len Goodman said. “My feeling is you’re the best we’ve had.”

Peta Murgatroyd said of her partner Donald Driver before they were crowned winners, “He’s the best celebrity dance partner anyone could ask for … I was lucky.”

Congrats to Donald and Peta on their win!

As you probably know by now (unless you live under a rock or something), Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg married his college sweetheart Priscilla Chan over the weekend.

On Saturday (May 19), just one day after Facebook went public on the stock market, Mark updated his relationship status to “married,” capping off a very busy week for the couple.

Mark’s 28th birthday was last Monday (May 14), the same day Priscilla graduated from medical school at the University of California in San Francisco; and on Friday, Mark took his 8-year-old company public in one of the most anticipated stock offerings in the history of Wall Street.

According to close friends, Zuckerberg and Chan met and Harvard before Mark started Facebook, and have been dating for almost 10 years.

The wedding ceremony took place in Mark’s back yard in Palo Alto, CA in front of less than 100 guests, who were originally told that they were coming to celebrate Chan’s graduation, but when they arrived, found out that they were there for a wedding. “Everybody was shocked,” one guest said, speaking anonymously on behalf of the couple.

Mark wore a suit, while his bride wore a traditional white wedding gown that reportedly cost $4,700, and was designed by Claire Pettibone, a Los Angeles-based designer. Mark also designed the ring featuring “a very simple ruby.”

Mark and Priscilla had been privately planning their surprise wedding for months, but were waiting until Chan had graduated to officially exchange vows.

And just in case you wondering … no, the wedding was not timed to perfectly follow Facebook’s IPO, since the date the company planned to go public was a “moving target,” according to sources.

The New York Times and other media outlets noted that by waiting until the day after he cashed in on Facebook, Mark conveniently protected his billion-dollar fortune from California’s communal property laws that state that everything a couple earns or buys after they get married is split evenly between them if they get a divorce … but anything they owned individually before the marriage is theirs to keep.

Mark married his college sweetheart the day AFTER Facebook went public, clearly establishing his pre-marriage net worth.

But had he tied the knot anytime before that, Priscilla would have almost certainly been guaranteed to receive half of Mark’s Facebook shares if they should ever get divorced. (Though they probably have a prenuptial agreement, but that’s another story…)

And speaking of the Facebook IPO … according to a report today from the Associated Press, Facebook’s stock has fallen for the third day in a row, and investors are reconsidering how much the social network is actually worth.

Facebook’s long-awaited initial public offering of stock raised $16 billion (at $38/share) last Friday, giving the company a $104 billion value, which is $6 billion more than Amazon, Inc.

But after just three days of trading, the price of Facebook, Inc.’s stock has fallen $7, to $31, representing an almost 20 percent drop, which takes the company’s valuation down to about $90 billion.

Meanwhile, Google, Inc. — Facebook’s biggest rival — is worth $200 billion, and is currently trading at over $600/share.

Facebook’s IPO was supposed to prove that social media is not just a passing fad, and is capable to co-exist with the big boys on the stock market … but so far, it has yet to do that.

On the other hand, Facebook’s traffic continues to grow, as they recently announced that they are pushing 1 billion users … but will they survive the stock market? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

But regardless of how Facebook’s stock does, Mark will still be a happily married billionaire … so congrats to him on succeeding at life before the age of 30.

Usher appeared in court in Atlanta Monday (May 21) — following his performance at the 2012 Billboard Awards in Las Vegas the night before — to continue the bitter custody battle with his ex wife Tameka Raymond over their children.

While testifying on the stand, Usher broke down into tears after Tameka’s attorney whipped out photos of the 33-year-old singer at a nightclub in Europe earlier this year, suggesting that the entertainer cares more about partying than he does about his two young sons.

Usher also talked about about how his ex goes through nanny after nanny, and he constantly worries about who is taking care of his kids at any given moment.

Under oath, Usher also explained how Tameka has a violent history, and during his testimony, he described an incident when his 40-something-year-old ex wife went ballistic and “wanted to fight” whn he showed up at her house with his new girlfriend Grace Miguel (who is also his manager).

Ush testified Tameka walked to his car and said, “I’m gonna kick your ass. Bitch get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house?”

He added, “She continued to spit. At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her.”

Usher claims he had to get out of the car and block Tameka … who then hit him. Usher said he pleaded with Tameka to calm down, but claims “she threw a plate of food at the car” … as he fled the situation.

[TMZ]

As you may remember, during Tameka’s sworn testimony earlier this month, she admitted to telling Usher and his girlfriend “I will f**k you up“ … so this incident in which she physically attacked the couple isn’t surprising at all.

Usher was also grilled about his alleged drug use because Tameka claims that he abuses them.

While he did admit to smoking weed, his lawyer jumped in and objected when he was questioned about using ecstasy, and he insisted that he has NEVER used ANY drugs in front of their children, which is an allegation Tameka made early on in their custody battle.

Usher and Tameka — who married in 2007 and divorced before their 2-year anniversary in 2009 — are fighting over custody of their two kids Usher V (aka “Cinco”) and Navid … and so far, things (obviously) aren’t going so well.

What do you think about how Usher and Tameka are handling their child custody dispute?

Jennifer Lopez and her dancer beau Casper Smart were spotted shopping it up at The Grove in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon (May 20).

The couple hit up clothing store Zara to get some retail therapy, and not too long after, were seen holding hands as they exited the store with bulging shopping bags full of their purchases.

Over the weekend, Jennifer’s new movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” opened up to a disappointing $10.5 million in ticket sales.

At the movie’s premiere event in L.A. last week, 25-year-old Smart had nothing but good things to say about his 42-year-old superstar girlfriend and their spontaneous relationship.

“It was really professional for a very long time before anything even happened,” Smart said. “It just really spontaneously happened. The chemistry was there. You can’t fight it.”

“She’s a beautiful woman,” he said. “She’s a good person like anyone else…we’re all just people.”

Check out the pics of J.Lo and Casper shopping at the Grove below:

Hannah Montana has left the building!

In yet another effort to separate herself from her former Disney alter ago, actress/singer Miley Cyrus made some very ‘interesting’ comments about sex, which she believes is a “beautiful” and “magical” thing.

During an hour-long interview on Lifetime’s “The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet,” the 19-year-old stressed how important sex is to the existence of the human race, and said that parents and teens should be open with each other about the usually taboo subject.

“The girls that really base how much they’re worth on the sexual favors they can do for somebody, that makes me really sad … Because sex is actually really beautiful. It’s the only way we create, and it’s the only way the world keeps going.

“It’s ignorant to not talk to your kids about it or make it seem like it’s not as cool or magical as it actually is. If kids have a TV, they know what sex is. Everyone knows, so educate them.

“Let them know that they wouldn’t be here without it, and it is a beautiful thing, and it is magic, and it is when you connect with somebody and it isn’t how much your worth. Your worth isn’t based on that. Your worth is based on how you feel about yourself.”

After explaining how awesome sex is, Miley “I Can’t Be Tamed” Cyrus — who is dating 22-year-old “Battleship” actor Liam Hemsworth — then gave advice to young girls on how to build up their self-esteem:

“Just be who you are, and that is where your style will come from, and your attitude, and your spirituality, and your sexuality. Because it’s coming from a place of love.”

Along with releasing intimate pictures and letting the public have a glimpse of her ever so private life, Beyonce is letting fans see her funny side too!

In a video recorded pre-Baby Blue Ivy, the former Destiny’s Child singer is seen with her ‘people’ letting her hair down and playing pool.

The usually shy Mrs. Carter shows off her her goofy side in the clip, and was talking smack throughout the game … especially when she whooped her opponent’s behind!

Watch the hilarious video below:

Young Money CEO Lil Wayne is back in the headlines for the second time in a month after his crew allegedly attacked a fan who tried to take a picture of the rapper.

Alfredo Marino tells TMZ on May 3 he spotted Lil Wayne and his posse skateboarding. Marino says he is a HUGE fan of Wayne’s so he went up to Weezy to ask for a photo — but was shut down.

Marino retreated to his car, where he tried sneaking a pic … Marino claims Wayne walked over with his crew and began threatening him, saying, “Don’t you know all it takes is a word and these motherf**kers are going to f**k you up?”

Marino claims he was clocked from behind with a skateboard — which knocked him down and left him bleeding from the head. Marino says he suffered a concussion and vertigo.

Craig Chisvin, Marino’s lawyer, said, “My client will enforce all of his rights under the law and all individuals responsible for this outrageous incident will be blamed for the damages that my client has suffered and continues to suffer.”

Back in April, a photographer in Miami filed a report which stated that he was spat on and pushed to the ground by members of Weezy’s security after he took some photos of the rapper skateboarding outside a church (right beside a clearly visible “no skateboarding” sign). He says the group also beat his bicycle with a skateboard before he was able to flee the scene.

According to TMZ, cops are investigating this latest incident, and Wayne’s reps have yet to return any requests for comment.

After a seven year run on “Saturday Night Live,” comedic staple Kristen Wiig taped her final episode last Saturday night.

Though no official announcement was made prior to Saturday night’s taping, the episode’s emotional ending was all that was needed to confirm that Wiig had indeed made her last appearance on the show.

In her final sketch, guest host Mick Jagger played the principal of a high school graduation ceremony, and said that Kriaten, dressed in a cap and gown, was “one particular student who is leaving this summer.”

The cast (and even SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels) then came alongside her to perform the Rolling Stones‘ hits “She’s A Rainbow” and “Ruby Tuesday,” as Wiig appeared to be holding back tears.

Speaking to TIME in 2011 Lorne Michaels said of Wiig, “There are two people who arrived fully formed — her and Dana Carvey — where you saw what they did in their audition and you put it on the air. She has that thing that Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd had, which is absolute precision, but also this lightness that isn’t what they had.”

As well as transitioning to film and starring/co-writing movies “Bridesmaids,” “Knocked Up,” and “Friends with Kids,” Kristen Wiig is famous for her hilarious impersonations of Bjork, Kris Jenner, Taylor Swift, Kathy Lee Gifford and Nancy Pelosi; as well as her limitless range of characters, which included neurotic attention-seeker Penelope, Kat (of the musical duo Garth and Kat, with Fred Armisen), the Target Lady, Aunt Linda and Gilly.

Most recently, Wiig parodied “tanning mom” Patricia Krentcil in a hilarious “Weekend Update” sketch.

The world is mourning the loss of Robin Gibb, one third of the iconic disco era band the Bee Gees.

The sad news of Gibb’s death was officially posted on his website on Sunday May 19. The statement read:

“The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery.

“The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.”

Robin Gibb achieved great superstardom in the 60’s and 70’s with his brothers Barry and Maurice. Together, they produced several well-known love ballads and disco hits, like “Stayin’ Alive,” “How Deep is Your Love,” “Night Fever,” and “Emotions” (which was re-made by Destiny’s Child).

The Bee Gees also achieved album sales of up to 200 million copies, putting them in the same league as the likes of the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, Reuters reported.

Robin Gibb — who had been battling cancer of the colon and liver — leaves behind his wife Dwina Murphy Gibb and three children, Spencer, Melissa and Robin-John. He was 62 years old.

Will Smith took fans back to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” days when he performed the show’s iconic theme song during a recent appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” in the UK.

At the request of Norton and audience participation, Smith rapped the entire song to a per-programmed beat, sending everyone into nostalgia for a moment.

The “Men in Black 3″ star — who is currently on a worldwide promotional tour for the movie franchise and made headlines this week after he smacked a reporter who tried to kiss him — spoke about how much of an important role the classic sitcom played in his life.

“Listen, every country in the world, that is the thing that I am most known for. No matter how big the movies get, it’s just ‘Fresh Prince’ everywhere … As long as they’re shouting ‘Will!’ it’s cool,” he joked.

“It is so funny that that many people recognize that theme song,” Smith continued. “There’s something about TV that’s different than movies or music. There’s something about television that … it’s like, you’re in your underwear at the house, you don’t get dressed up to go, it’s like people come into your house. Television really attaches you to people in a way that is extremely powerful, and it’s humbling. Thank you.”

Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston in "Sparkle"

R&B icon Whitney Houston sings a beautiful duet with her on-screen daughter Jordin Sparks on “Celebrate,” the last song Houston recorded before her death in February.

The uptempo track was produced by R. Kelly for the new movie “Sparkle,” which will hit theaters this summer, and serves as Whitney Houston’s final movie project.

“Sparkle,” a remake of the 1976 film of the same name, tells the story of three sisters who become Motown stars who are forced to deal with the pressures of fame. Houston plays the mother of the three girls, played by Jordin Sparks, Tika Sumpter and Carmen Ejogo.

Considering that they’re meant to be arch chart rival enemies … Rihanna and “new girl on the Roc” Rita Ora seem to be getting along just fine.

Following Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Watch the Throne” concert Saturday night (May 19) at London’s O2 Arena … Rita and Rihanna hit up London Town’s Dstrkt restaurant where a birthday party for Roc Nation executive (and Jay-Z’s BFF) Tyran “Ty-Ty” Smith was being thrown.

In between mingling with celebrities like Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin … Rihanna planted a kiss right on Rita Ora’s cheek.

Later on in the evening, 21-year-old Ora shared a picture of the kiss with her Twitter followers, and jokingly tweeted:

“@rihanna hatin a$$ biatch!!!! Mwah!!!!!!”

Hopefully this will put the rumored rivalry to rest!

Lil Kim dropped by Power 105′s “The Breakfast Club” last week where she revealed the root of her beef with Nick Minaj.

“Me and Slim were friends for four years, and we decided we were going to do business together. I was over there at Cash Money, and I was getting ready to be partners with him. When I was over there, we were working a lot. I was in Miami and he would put me in the studio.”

Kim says when a song she did with a then-unknown Nicki Minaj for Baby’s solo album didn’t take off as he predicted, all communication between her and Cash Money was nixed, and Nicki randomly started dissing her on tracks.

“The problem with her is, she was very catty with it. I never had a problem with her. I was always nice with her. Always. She was a very obnoxious person, but I was very nice with her. From the time I saw her in that dressing room, the story she told, I don’t even know what the heck she was talking about. That’s not even how it happened.

“But from the moment that I met her, I was always cool with her. But after that, it almost seems like, when they realized, OK, we need Kim, we want to study her swag, that’s what it kind of felt like because I was around for a long time. They were like, OK, let’s study her swag and I think they wanted to get that record just to stamp that I was OK with what was going on.”

Kim also recalled when she and Nicki were together at a birthday party for Diddy’s oldest son, and Nicki “rolled her eyes” at her.

“After that whole Cash Money situation with the song, we’re at Justin’s birthday party. Perfect time to come up and say, ‘Hey, we did the song together.’ Nothing. And she looked at me and rolled her eyes, and I was like, really? Every single record she made was coming at me … She was coming at me in the Puffy record and in the Jay and Kayne record.”

[...]

“She wanted to be the only female out there. So when Baby said we not f*ckin’ with this chick cause you can’t stand next to her, she loved it! She didn’t want to stand next to me.” Lil’ Kim added that in the music industry men pit women against each other and Kim said, “Don’t come at me indirectly in records…..don’t do that. At the end of the day, she should have just said ‘I don’t care, you my b*tch, I want to do other stuff with you.”

The Breakfast Club crew asked Lil Kim if there was any chance that she and Nicki Minaj could reconcile in the future, and her response was very straight-forward:

“It will never happen.”

Just days after Will Smith showed his support for gay marriage, the 43-year-old actor ran into his own personal encounter of “guy-on-guy” action.

At the Moscow premiere of his new film “Men in Black 3″ last Friday, Will was greeted on the red carpet by an Ukrainian reporter who at first gave him a friendly hug … but then tried to kiss him on the lips!

After realizing what had happened, Will pushed the guy back saying, “What the hell is your problem, man?” and then went on to smack the reporter right in his face. (Ouch!)

Everyone present appeared to be shocked as Will told onlookers, “He’s lucky I didn’t sucker-punch him … Oh, sorry, I said that on camera.”

According to TMZ, the Ukranian reporter who tried to kiss Will is known in Europe for kissing and showing affection to celebrities. But Will wasn’t having that!

Peep the footage of the incident below:

That guy is lucky Jaden wasn’t there….he might have karate kicked that azz!
