Damn this negroid is a beyotch… I don’t even think Bow Wow gets this emotional when stones are thrown at his boo boy Omarion. Man up, Terrell!

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.
Rihanna’s New Tattoo Looks Familiar…
CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT RIHANNA’S NEW “GUN” TATTOOS!
Rumors about Rihanna and Chris Brown dating are old, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t resurrect them lol. Rihanna’s got some new (?) ink on the back of her kneck. But I’m not 100% sure if it’s new because with new tattoos, people usually have them bandaged up with a lot of vaseline/grease. But I’ve never seen it before, so it’s definitely new to me. But anyhow, Chris Brown has the same type of tattoo behind his ear. I’m not saying they’re dating or anything, because a lot of people have that ugly ass tattoo. I’m just making an … observation. Don’t mind me 😉
In other Rihanna/Chris Brown news, the two recently performed the Umbrella Remix together on stage in Nashville the other night, according to Whitney over at Chris Brown Web. Chris Brown, who is currently on tour with Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, and Lil’ Mama in the Up Close and Personal Tour, is gearing up for the release of his first ever Live in Concert DVD to be released later on in the year. The DVD was filmed at the Nashville show.
UPDATE: Rihanna’s tattoo is old. She got it last September. But it still matches Chris Brown’s!
Everybody Wants their Own “MySpace” … Even Uncle Luke!
Alright people, there can only be one MySpace. Leave it be! No one is going to sign up at 239 different “social networking sites” to mingle with the same folks that are on the sites they’re already registered to. Word on the sidewalk is that Luther Campbell (Uncle Luke for all of you kids at home) has launched his very own social networking site, which holds the name Uncle Luke TV. Uncle Luke?? C’mon now!
What’s up with all of these washed-up celebrities coming out of the wood-work all of a sudden? The day Tevin Campbell comes out with his own rendition of Megaupload or Rapidshare will be the day I surrender all to Jesus. I’m just saying…
Check out the press release I received in my inbox after the cut.
Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons Featured in Harper’s Bazaar
CLICK ABOVE FOR A LARGER VERSION!
Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou are featured in a 4-page spread in the February 2008 edition of Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. Check out some snippets from the spread below (via Hip Hop Crunch).
Djimon on Kimora: She’s the least high-maintenance lady I’ve ever dated.
Djimon on Kimora’s two children (Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons): They’re great kids. I take my hat off to Kimora for the way she’s carried them along with her business. And Russell as well. It’s extremely commendable what they do with the kids.
Kimora on Djimon’s Calvin Klein Ad: That ad is hot as hell. And that body is sick. It’s really that way.
New York has a Sex Tape?
The gap between celebrity and porn star is slowly merging. Word on the sidewalk is that New York aka Tiffany Pollard aka Tiffany Patterson aka Kenya Simmons (the stripper) now has a sextape. Peep the video I received in my inbox this morning above. I think it’s her. I tried to look at the left titty to see if I saw a tattoo of “Princess,” but like all of the other celebrity sex tapes (minus the Ray J/Kim Kardashian one), it’s blurry as hell asnd hard to see. But never-the-less, the weave and big hooh-hahs make it look like New York even more. Click here to download the NSFW video and draw your own conlcusions.
Regardless, I’m tired of hearing about this broad. Did anybody catch her whack ass in First Sunday?
Mary J. Blige Covers Vibe
Mary J Blige is gracing Vibe’s latest issue. On the inside of the February 2008 edition of the magazine, she talks about losing some of her fans after her transition from “sad Mary” to “happy Mary.”
“When I took the chance to show people I can be happy, I lost a million of my fans. I was like ‘I’m gonna have to lose y’all in order for us to live, because if I keep going down this dark hole, we’re all gonna die together. I’m gonna slit my wrists or take some pills, and it’s gonna be over.”
Make sure you pick up this magazine, as it’s on stands now!
Maroon 5 – “Goodnight, Goodnight”
Thank you Guawd! “Goodnight, Goodnight” will be the forth new single released from Maroon 5’s Platinum-selling album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (A&M/Octone). I don’t know if anyone remembers, or have been visiting the site for that long, but I did an album review back in May of last year and was so inspired. I loved the whole album and “Goodnight, Goodnight” was without a doubt one of my favorite songs so I’m amped!

Soulja Boy Lets Media Take Out, Among Others, Have it via Myspace!
Seventeen-year-old “Crank That” rapper Soulja Boy recently went to venting via his “claim to fame,” MySpace, denying rumors of him impregnating a nineteen-year-old Atlanta woman by claiming that those rumors are “not true.” He then goes on to address plagiarism claims brought to him by some Ohio band, and acknowledged personal attacks made to him by such celebrities as Steve Harvey with the disc jockey saying [Solja Boy’s music] is “vulgar”. Here is the full message:
Wuz hannan dis ya folk Soulja Boy I just wanna let all my fans know that rumor about me having a baby on the way is not true.. So FUCK that site Mediatakeout And FUCK Bet Black carpet for lying on me! lol
And Oh yeah this is my only Myspace page all the others is fake. And FUCK D.O.B. for lying and saying im joccin them I never heard of them in my life if I leave a comment on ya page and say yo music tight u should take that shit as i compliment DUMBASS! And when I come to Ohio I wish yall niggaz would try some shit I will beat the shit out of yall niggaz myself
I look around and see alot of haters.. Even famous people who don’t know me. Steve Harvey hating? I mean Damn.. STEVE HARVEY? wtf I grew up watchin this nigga on TV and he wanna get on radio saying my songs are vulgar and trying to stop me from gettin my paper. I mean damn dude if yo son was out here trying to provide from his family you wouldn’t wont someone trying to stop his success and making up shit.
How you gone say some shit on Radio where ALOT of people will believe just because of who you are leave your mouth if you didnt make sure it was true? I got old ass niggaz from Wu-Tang dissin me. Some dude named GZA from Wu-Tang Clan dat was born in 66′ lol, who I never met in my life.. I’m like wow..
Don’t hate. INHALE IT IN NIGGA BREATHE IT IN! BASK IN IT!
I hate to admit it, that ‘Boy has a point! As much as I dislike most of his music, I wouldn’t go on to spread hateful rumors about him or say that his songs are “vulgar”. And if he did write this, most likely, I surely wouldn’t dissect his savvy Internet speech and come to the conclusion that he’s ghetto or whatever! Who takes MySpace seriously anyway? Again, I’m not really all into his music like that but I avoid (key word) it, somehow. I’m definitely not mad at him though. He writes, produces, and markets his own music which means he ain’t got to listen NOBODY ($$$). So I applaud him for that, him being almost my age and all, achieving already more than I have. He is very young and ultimately, he is going to rebel, that is just apart of growing up. I somewhat respect him for this though … don’t ask me why.
Monica Gives Birth to Second Child (Updated)
R&B singer Monica is the proud mother of a second baby boy. The yet-to-be-named infant was born Tuesday afternoon, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution But not all hope is lost … he has a middle name! And according to Monica’s cousin and manager Melinda Dancil, his middle name is Montez, and weighed in at 5 lbs., 6 oz. and was 19½ inches long. Dancil tells the paper that mother and baby are fine.
Monica gave birth to her first child, Rodney Ramone Hill III, aka “Lil Rock”, in May 2005. In October 2007 Monica renewed her contract with J Records. For now, she is writing and putting songs together for her fifth studio album, which will be released sometime this year, with the help of producer/friend Missy Elliott, producer Bryan Michael Cox, and songwriter Ne-Yo.
Solange better pop out another one before Lil Rock’s new brother gets of age. Baby Daniel needs a shanking partner too! I’m sure he can take Lil Rock and his baby brother with his hands tied behind his back though. His uncle is JAY-Z!
UPDATE: According to a message sent to photographer/blogger Sandra Rose from Monica herself, the baby’s name is Romelo, which makes his full name Romelo Montez HIll. Congratulations on the new addition Monica!

PHOTOS BY JOHNNY NUNEZ FOR WIRE IMAGE
DJ Clue, along with some industry friends, celebrated his birthday Wednesday night in New York. Folks like Diddy, Jadakiss, Styles P, Trey Songz, and more showed up to party with Clue and everybody else! But eff them. Remy Ma and Jacki-O … under the same roof? Lawd, have mercy! How often do you spot two clowns like that enjoying each other’s company?! And we can’t forget about Cheri Dennis coming out of the wood-work to perform. Didn’t we do a Sugar 2 Shit post on her over the summer?? I hear her album might actually get released, or something like that. ((Shrugs)) Check out the rest of the flicks from the Party after the cut!
Stedman Won’t get a Dime When Oprah Kicks the Bucket…
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
… but her yet-to-be adopted children will! Ain’t that a bitch?! It’s been reported that talk-show host, and queen of white women all over, Oprah Winfrey, has left her partner of 21 years, Stedman Graham, out of her will. The media mogul recently drew up the legal document, leaving none of her $2 billion fortune to her Graham in the event of her passing, according to MSNBC and The National Enquirer.
Instead, she has dictated that her money will be donated to several charities and the three daughters she plans to adopt, without the help of best-selling author and motivational speaker Graham. A source says:
“(Adoption) is something she has always wanted to do. There’s no talk of her adopting the children with Stedman — this is something she’s going to do by herself.”
First she calls off the engagement, and now this? Whoever the 3 girls she plans to adopt are, they’re going to be some rich mofos. Stedman better be stashing away some used Kleenexes, or chicken bones, or something so he can get his eBay on!
Hip-Hop Making Moves Outside of Music: Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, and Dr. Dre
PHARRELL WILLIAMS AND LOUIS VUITTON LAUNCH FASHION JEWELRY LINE
Singer & producer Pharrell Williams and designer Camille Miceli will unveil a new fine jewelry collection named Blason. The collaboration between the two will be launched with fashion house Louis Vuitton. Williams first teamed up with the prestigious fashion line in 2004, when the he and A Bathing Ape (known worldwide for their BAPES sneakers) creator Nigo created the “Millionaire” line of sunglasses for the company. The Blason jewelry line, which features four separate themes, features yellow and white gold in diamonds.
The average price tag for the pieces will be anywhere from $2,000 to over $600,000. Williams and Miceli will debut the expensive line to the public on January 21st, followed by a private party at a Mansion in Paris. While details have yet-to-be announced, the Blason jewelry line will be available in Louis Vuitton stores across the world starting this spring. If you’re going to miss the $2,000 after it’s gone, then I suggest you not take part in the purchase of this highly expensive line of jewelry! I don’t want anyone to get put out on the streets because they decided to use the money for their mortgage and utility bills to buy some jewelry from Pharrell.
Check out upcoming business ventures from Jay-Z and Dr. Dre after the jump!
