Four out of the five ladies of Danity Kane returned to the stage once again for the finale of Season 3 of MTV’s Making The Band 4. The finale was filmed live at The Hudson Theatre up in NYC and featured appearances from Diddy, Day 26 (who also performed), Donnie Klang and of course D. Woods, Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex of DK.

Sway from MTV got the ladies to open up a bit about their current “situation,” and when he got to a question about them making up and geting back together D. Woods acted like she wanted to avoid the question, all the while promoting her album and talking about everyone at a place where they wanted to “move on.” Shannon was open to the idea and so was Dawn and Aubrey. But what about Aundrea? Why isn’t she in any of the pics? Well, it turns out … she decided not to attend the taping because she’s still hurt about what happened and just wants to move on from the situation ASAP.

Out of the three ladies left in Danity Kane, only two (the two furthest to the right of the pic above) showed up to an important meeting, according to Dawn Richard. Rumors had been circulating the ‘net for weeks talking about how Shannon had left the group, but now since Dawn has brought everything to light, those rumors are obviously true. In an interview with MTV, Dawn talked about how she feels about the group’s break-up and even mentioned that Diddy is “devasted” about the whole situation.

On Danity Kane’s split:
“I’m shocked,” she said of Danity Kane’s dissolution, which has saddened and angered fans. “You can tell by my answers — I really don’t have them. It’s devastating to talk about this over and over again. It is crazy! It doesn’t even make sense. I still can’t understand it.”

On Diddy’s push for the best:
“Puff only hangs with people who break their necks,” she said. “I don’t think he’s even on that tip yet [regarding a solo career]. He just wants to see how great I can be at what he tells me to be great at, and that’s what a businessman does. He wants his employees to be the best.It makes you great ’cause it challenges you,” she added. “I want to learn. I want to be where he is mentally because if you can be there, you have mastered this interest. And that’s brilliant. I want to be here. I’m trying to stay here. I thought everybody was on that plan.”

On Diddy’s devastation:
“I think he’s devastated. I think he thought people would get over it ’cause he’s a man,” Richard said. “He’s just confused. I think that’s what makes him crazy the most. He’s like, ‘I’m the master of all of this, and they totally pulled the wool.’ I think he’s bitter and angry.”

All of this happened so fast! How can so many people f**k up a successful girl group (the ONLY successful girl group since Destiny’s Child went solo) in such a short amount of time?

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.

We’ll keep you updated! Story developing…

Beyonce and Jay-Z together, without a doubt, is the definition of “black love.” For our generation at least! They’ve been together for over 5 years, and have close to $170 million in the bank (combined), making them Hollywood’s richest couple! Much of their relationship is kept private, but their lives as celebrities, coupled with their fame and huge success as artists and entrepreneurs, makes it hard not to want to know more about them! We put them at the top of our list this time last year, but the only difference between then and now is that they are married. The two decided to tie the knot in a “private” ceremony in April 2008. And if you were around and living on planet earth, you definitely heard about it! After People.com announced that the two had taken out a marriage license in New York, the events that happened the weekend of April 4th 2008 were inevitable. After several black SUVs with heavily tinted windows were seen entering Jay-Z’s Manhattan apartment, in addition to the dozens of vans bringing in wedding decorations, we all knew what was going on.

Every paparazzo in the world set up shop outside of the apartment and snapped photos of Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s sister), Tina & Mathew Knowles (Beyonce’s parents), Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Irv Gotti, and more entering the apartment building’s ground-level garage. The list went on and on, but after seeing all of these people entering one place, we knew Beyonce and Jay-Z were DEFINITELY getting married. People.com actually confirmed it the next morning, and shortly after, we spotted the two wearing their wedding bands. These two getting married was definitely the talk of the blogosphere for the months to follow. And even though “Jayonce” never really confirmed their wedding, in several interviews that followed (Oprah, The Tyra Banks show, Essence Magazine, etc.) they were referred to as husband and wife, and neither contested it. But these two are the same people who never confirmed their initial relationship, so we’re definitely used to it!

Who else made the cut as GOT’s hottest couples of 2008? Continue reading to see!

Seeing as Cassie used MySpace to jumpstart her career as a music artist, it’s only right that she uses it as an outlet to dispell any rumors going on about her. Recently, a rumor started circulating the blogosphere claiming that Cassie was scrapping her second album, after already releasing a single. Well, according to the “singer” … you can just scrap that idea itself, because it’s not true. She released a blog within 24 hours saying the following:

DK?

What’s up everybody??

A friend of mine forwarded me a link toa site with a made up quote about me joining Danity Kane. I want to make it clear to everyone that I am not joining Danity Kane! My second solo album is coming out in the Spring of ‘09 and I’m very excited about that. I don’t know where the fake message came from, but I know for a fact that it didn’t come from me. Anyway, I can’t wait to share more details about MY next solo project with you. Thanks guys, talk soon!

Cassie

We’ve said it once, we’ve said it twice, hell we may have even been saying for years. And in fact, we have! Homegirl needs to make a career out of modeling. Nobody’s checking for her sh*t!

ATLANTA // WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29TH 2008 » T.I. was spotted voting yesterday in Atlanta. If you are looking at this picture like I was and wondering how was T.I. able to vote after committing a felony, here is a little info for you courtesy of MTV.

How was T.I. able to vote? Well, the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, in consultation with their own lawyers “reviewed the law and found that Mr. Harris is eligible to in Georgia because the state constitution says that to be able to vote, you have to have served your entire sentence, which includes all probation and fines and any other stipulations,” said Matt Carrothers, the Secretary of State’s director of media relations.

Because T.I. is not slated to go to prison until next year on felony gun charges and is not currently incarcerated — though he is under house arrest — and is not on probation, all he had to do was contact the county he votes in and get re-registered in order to cast a ballot.

More Candids after the jump!

According to Dawn, Aubrey O’Day was kicked out of the group for wanting to go naked. And in the above photo, you see all of the original Danity Kane members posing naked behind a big sign that reads: “We’d rather go naked than wear fur!” for a PETA campaign. Careful ladies, you wouldn’t want Diddy to nix you from the group just because you’d rather go naked than wear fur!

Danity Kane is now a threesome [get your mind out of the gutter!]. Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods were kicked out of the Bad Boy family (as Diddy so eloquently calls it) on Tuesday night’s season finale of the third season of MTV’s “Making the Band 4.” A lot of people are speculating the reason behind the ladies’ dismissal, so Dawn Richard sat down with US Magazine exclusively and dished the dirt:

“Puff did not like [O'Day's] image … where her image was going for the group. It wasn’t a personal thing. We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls,” Richard says. “So we can’t do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover. [Diddy] wants the fans, and he says he can’t do that if we can continue to go in the direction that we were going.”

If you caught the show Tuesday, regarding Aubrey O’Days departure, you would’ve heard Diddy say something like: “I just want to work with the young lady that I signed, not the person that fame has made her…” But what about D. Woods? Why was she let go? According to Mr. Sean John, “she got caught up in the wrath” of Aubrey O’Day.

As far as we know, Danity Kane will move forward without D. Woods and O’Day, but somehow I feel like season 4 of Making the Band 4 will be all about finding two replacements. You know how Diddy is!
