According to our boy FreddyO, Frankie just “found” 2 more of her children last week. We’re not entirely sure how you “lose” and “find” your own children, but with Frankie, this is a regular thing. Anyway, she was already a little emotional, so when she spoke to press on the red carpet of the BET Hip Hop Awards Saturday (Oct 10) in Atlanta, she got a little emotional when the subject turned to her daughter Keyshia Cole:

“She’s been taking care of me since [inaudible] don’t get it twisted. Matter of fact, she’s the reason why I got my esteem back and my hope. When I got out of prison, if it wasn’t for her, I would not be walking the red carpet. Shout out to God. My baby gave me so much encouragement, no matter how I look. ‘Mama you are beautiful. Mama you are fine.’”

Aww, how sweet! No comment on those platinum fronts though, we’re just glad we haven’t heard anything about Frankie wildin’ out at any of the weekend’s festivities. She hosted her own red carpet segment too, and we all know how that could have went!

Keyshia Cole’s management (via our friend FreddyO) is setting the record straight on her pregnancy. In fact, there is no record because according to Manny Halley, she is NOT carrying Daniel “Boobie” Gibson’s baby right now. The two of them are currently spending time together as she lays down tracks for her new album set to be released sometime next year.

After being lost for words he then said “No, not at all”… Keyshia is currently in LA with her boo, working on her new album… Hummmm…. I have also been told by a source that Keyshia is moving back to LA and has put her Atlanta home up for sale…

Keyshia Cole and her boyfriend Daniel “Boobie” Gibson (pictured at the top at Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio the other day) of the Cleveland Cavaliers recently got a matching haircut!

Keyshia (pictured at the bottom getting done up before a photoshoot in Cleveland) has decided to shave the side of her head a la Cassie and don the look up with red stars just like her “Boobie.” Forget that whole matching tattoos mess. That sh*t is permanent! Hair grows back. Always.

Sidebar: We know Cassie is NOT the first person to do this, but it seems like after she did it everybody else shortly followed suit. We wonder who’s next…

Shout out to Necole Bitchie for the pic!

Keyshia Cole’s mom Frankie celebrated her birthday with a party at Traxx, a gay club in Atlanta, Saturday night (Jul 18). Here are the pics, courtesy of our boy FreddyO, who said that Frankie cut a fool (as usual) and shoved cake in people’s faces if they didn’t want to eat it lmao!

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.

The 2009 BET Awards go down next week and the people behind the network are still adding performers to the final list. News recently broke that Keyshia Cole and Monica will performing their song, “Trust,” live on stage together at the annual event, which honors the biggest celebrities in black entertainment. The current list of performers include: Beyonce, Jay-Z, Maxwell, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Mary Mary, Fabolous, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy.

“Trust” has been doing pretty well on BET’s countdown show 106 & Park as it has been sitting pretty at the No. 1 spot for a while now so fans will definitely be looking forward to the duo performing the song at the BET Awards, which airs live next Sunday (Jun 28) from Los Angeles.

It looks like Keyshia Cole is definitely ready to let the world know about her new relationship with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Daniel “Boobie” Gibson. The two lovebirds were coupled up Tuesday night (June 2) at Dolce Nightclub in Elizabeth, NJ.

And Keyshia had no problems telling Sister 2 Sister recently what the deal was her new man:

Keyshia said that although there is an age difference between them (she’s 26 years old and Daniel is 23), he has a good head on his shoulders. And it doesn’t hurt that they want a lot of the same things out of life, too.

R&B singer Keyshia Cole is taking her third studio album A Different Me on a 20-city U.S. tour kicking off Wednesday May 13th in Cincinnati and ending June 20th in Los Angeles. And on select dates you’ll be able to see guest performances from Keri Hilson, Bobby Valentino and/or The Dream.

Keyshia also just wrapped shooting the video treatment for her new “Trust” single with Monica, the third video from A Different Me, and is already gearing up to shoot her fourth video for the album for the song “This Is Us” just before the tour starts. But she says going on the road and performing is one of the things she loves about being an artist.

“The most gratifying thing for me in show business is having the ability to be intimate with my fans. Singing directly to them is the most intimate thing I can do,” states Keyshia.

Word on the curb is that Keyshia Cole is writing the screenplay for her biopic and bringing her life story to the big screen! You’ve seen her on her BET reality series, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, but reports are saying she has confirmed plans for a movie detailing her rise to fame.

No word on whether or not she will play herself (a la Fantasia) in the film just yet.

A rumor reared its ugly head the other day about Keyshia Cole being involved in a “love triangle” with rapper Maino and Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Daniel “Boobie” Gibson. But her management clapped back with the quickness saying that the only love triangle she’s involved in is with herself and her money.

“In response to the rumor about superstar R&B Artist Keyshia Cole dating rapper Maino, which has been floating around the ‘Net, I, Manny Halley would like all the bloggers to personally know that there is no truth to this rumor. Keyshia and Maino do not have a personal relationship at all. Keyshia is gearing up for her headlining tour with Dream, Keri and Bobby Valentino, working on a script for her biopic and working in the studio nightly on her 4th studio release, which is slated for December 2009.” Don’t worry though, Keyshia Cole is involved in a love triangle, that is with her, herself and her money. The singer is too busy to let personal relationships slow her down these days.

Drew Reports

Keyshia Cole is featured on the cover of the May 2009 double issue of King Magazine, which will mark the urban magazine’s last. This is the other cover we told about this morning when we posted Tahiry Budden’s.

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…

“I’m pregnant and I got an attitude with him and don’t want him to f***ing touch me right now—or ever,” Neffe told Jamie. “Because I—was not supposed to happen this way. Now I’m trying to figure this s**t out, ’cause I just had Jaylen.”

MIAMI, FLORIDA // SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH 2008 » On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the “South Florida Summer Fest 2008” Concert featuring Birdman, DJ Khaled, Ace, Colby O’donis, Casley, Keyshia Cole, Akon, Lil’ Wayne and More live from The BankAtlantic Center. The show started at exactly 7:00 PM with opening acts Selena Serrano, S.O.U.R.C.E International Clique, Michelle Del Amore, Wyneter Gordon, and a bunch of local artists performing their radio hits like Grindmode’s “I’m so “High” and “Ecstasy“, Ball Greezy’s “Shone”, Colby O’Donis’ “What you got“, and last but not least Casely (if you think Chris Brown, Usher and Ne-Yo imitate MJ alot, then you haven’t seen Casely live!) who performed really well, but WAY too long for an opening act, sang about 4 or 5 songs from his upcoming album 1985 including his radio hit “Emotional“.

Usher performing “In This Club” as the opener for the 2008 BET Awards, which aired last night live from Los Angeles.

The 2008 BET Awards went down last night, and while there were a few lackluster performances (Usher’s being one of them), there were a few memorable, surprising, and exciting moments. One being Alicia Keys’ performance when she brought out SWV, En Vogue, and TLC! Another notable performance of the evening was Ne-Yo’s, where he showed us he can hang with the big dogs when it comes to his dance moves – he even brought out the Jabbawockees (winners of MTV’s America’s Dance Crew). Chris Brown did his thing as well, and surprised everyone when he brought out Ciara. Did Rihanna approve of this beforehand? I’m curious to know. And speaking of Rihanna, did anyone else notice how far she’s come along, as far as her live vocals? I was really impressed when she performed Take A Bow! And last, but most certainly not least, on my list of the best performances of the night, Lil’ Wayne! He kind of scared me towards the end of the show because it seemed like he wasn’t going to come out. The show was already running 15 or 20 minutes over when he was introduced. But he did come out, and he showed us exactly how and why he has sold nearly 1,500,000 copies of Tha Carter: III so far! He started out with Got Money (feat. T-Pain), paid homage to Static Major (R.I.P.) with Lollipop, and ended off his performance with A Millie. He had the whole crowd hyped, and ended off the show perfectly.

While the 2008 BET Awards did have its good moments, much of the show left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I expected a lot more from Usher. His performance was probably the most hyped up (pre-show), and ended up being one of the absolute worst of the night. While I love Keyshia Cole’s Heaven Sent, she really needs to work on her live vocals … and her stage presence. She had a lot of energy, she just didn’t know how to keep it all together. She looked like she was doing too much to me.

In my opinion, the 2007 BET Awards were much better. The performances, the overall show, and oh yeah … the host! Who the hell approved of D.L. Hughley being the host of this year’s show? I hope they received a pink slip in their box this morning. BRING MO’NIQUE BACK!!!

Here’s the video for Pain, The Game’s new single featuring R&B songstress Keyshia Cole. Word on the sidewalk is that home boy is trying to recruit the dude that knocked Suge Knight senseless to his record label.

“He’s the Knockout Kid. We was looking for him, we found him, and trying to sign him. (Suge’s) not a boxer. It’s not like he’s Muhammad Ali, and he’s been in the game and somebody finally beats you. Suge, back in the day, he had it locked in Los Angeles. But now, your time comes and goes, and you have to respect the new breed, and now that’s me.

I got L.A. locked, and 10 years from now there will be a new dude. Ten years from now, when I’m 40, there’s gonna be a new kid and I gotta respect that dude. Hopefully, the Knockout Kid’s little brother don’t hit me or something … or step to me. I don’t want no problems with the Knockout Kid.”

Here West-coast rapper The Game, as well as R&B singer Keyshia Cole, can be heard on his new single Pain from his forthcoming album L.A.X. (Los Angeles Times) in all markets June 24th, 2008! I like the song, it’s like a little homage to all the people that paved the way for them, even Keyshia shouts out Mary J. Blige at the end, even though people say she “bites” off of her which is lame! However came up with that word needs to get shot immediately.

FINE-NAL-LY! I kept hearing this song on the radio all the time and lately going crazzzy, this song is my shit, Boyfriend/Girlfriend by C-Side featuring Keyshia Cole.

By far the best song off of Keyshia Cole’s sophomore album Just Like You finally has its own video! But don’t get too excited. The video is a big snooze. Heaven Sent, the video for the 4th single off the album premiered on BET’s Access Granted today. Even though the whole idea of filming the video for a ballad like this on a deserted island is way past played out, Keyshia looks hella fine! I’m really glad she let go of the orange highlights in her hair. But back to the video, if I wanted to watch random fading clips of mountains, oceans, and jungles, I would click on one of those annoying screensaver ads you see on some sites and download away. I’m just saying. Benny Boom, c’mon … I know you can do better than that!

Oh well, there’s not much we can do about it now. I believe this will be the final single off the album, just in time for everything to settle down for the Christmas 2008 release of her third album. Can’t wait! Just don’t give us crappy videos like this, ever again.

Black Hollywood showed up and showed out at the first ever BET Honors, which were held in Washington D.C. Saturday night. The ladies glammed it up on the red carpet, and the fellas got their GQ on. Honorees included R&B star Alicia Keys and supermodel Tyra Banks, Time Warner board chairman Richard D. Parsons and Princeton professor Cornel West. “For me, I’m just a girl still from Harlem, and here I am,” Keys said. “It’s a tremendous feeling to do what you love and for people to love what you do. … People are honoring me for doing what my heart tells me to do, (and that is) so fulfilling.” Actor Blair Underwood presented Keys’ award, while her musical idol, Stevie Wonder, performed a special rendition of of “As” especially for her. John Legend, Wyclef Jean, Gladys Knight, Brian McKnight, Jill Scott and Raheem DeVaughn also performed. The show is set to air sometime in February. Check your local listings for more details.
