Nelly, Ashanti, and some members of the St. Lunatic clan hit up Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis for a Black and White Ball hosted by Nelly. Have y’all heard the latest on Ashanti? Apparently homegirl used to fuck with Irv Gotti back in the day. And when I say “fuck with” I mean, he got some of those panty drawers. No surprise there, really … I, for one, knew all along something was going on between those two! Oh yeah, back to the ball … Ruben Studdard was there too! He performed… CONTINUE READING

Best lines ever:

Welcome all of yall to my dark recesses
This is where I keep the bars like bathtub edges
My Ivories And My Doves My Levers and my Zests
It takes half of your bubble bath to match the freshness
The belly of the beast you know I’m from it
I wrap it in a towel here go my pal in the stomach
And I be on my green like Irish Spring and I Coast
Fudge wit It and get a mouth full of soap

I LOVE NEW YORK SEASON 2 TO PREMIERE ON VH1 OCTOBER 8TH 2007

I Love New York 2 is set to premiere October 8th on VH1. Let the blatant coonery begin! Taken from VH1 BLOG:

Admittedly, New York’s new look isn’t very different from her old one. She’s rocking new hair, a firmer bod and her breast implants look more…settled. That’s something, at least. The shot above is the first official promo shot for I Love New York 2, which is set to debut Oct. 8 on VH1. We bring it to you first and there’s more — check the gallery below for exclusive shots from the first episode. At the very least, do yourself the favor of checking out the nails Sister Patterson’s rocking. Clearly, the woman aims to terrify.

I ain’t even gon front. I know my black ass is gonna be watching!

HALLE & GABRIEL BACK IN MAY // PHOTO BY CHARLEY GALLAY

HALLE BERRY IS WITH CHILD! » Halle Berry recently confirmed to Access Hollywood that she is, indeed, with child!

Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!

Halle and her model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry met shooting a Versace ad in Los Angeles in November 2005 and first stepped out publicly three months later at the February opening of a Versace boutique in New York City. Earlier this year, Berry told InStyle, “I definitely want children. Very much.” Congratulations guys!!

R KELLY TRIAL DELAYED FOR THE 50TH TIME

DAMMIT ROBERT … YOU LUCKY BASTARD! » After years and years of waiting for a trial, we finally thought the justice system had came through when it was announced just last month that the R Kelly child pornography trial will begin mid-September. Reports today are saying that as of now, that is NOT the case! R Kelly has got to be the luckiest mofo in the world, because I’ve never seen a high-profile case like this postponed THIS long before. Why is it postponed, once again, you ask? Well apparently the lead prosecutor in the case recently had a baby.

Now I’m not 100% sure, so don’t hold me to this. But uhh … isn’t it usually more than obvious for other people to notice a woman’s pregnancy? Why didn’t they consider that when they set the damn date to September 17th the first time around! I swear R Kelly is paying some people off … this just doesn’t add up. Something in the milk ain’t right! CONTINUE READING
