The Screamfest 2007 tour made a stop in Rosemont, Illinois at the Allstate Arena. R Kelly made a surprise appearance and performed with Ciara for the “Promise Remix.” Homeboy has what, a month left before he’s found guilty on 1,473 counts of child pornography? In other Screamfest craziness, a crazed T.I. fan bum-rushed security and hopped on stage to be with her favorite rapper. Looks like SHE got her money’s worth! She was swiftly escorted off of the stage though… Anyhow, if you want to go to the show but haven’t yet purchased your tickets, you can do so THROUGH THINK2WICE!

31-year-old Spice Girls singer Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton gave birth to a son, Beau, at London’s Portland Hospital on Friday, a spokesman said. He is the first child for Bunton and boyfriend Jade Jones. Dang, these chicks are old LOL.

“He is absolutely brilliant and both baby and Emma are doing fine,” Jones said in a statement. “In fact, Emma is tucking into some flapjacks and Coca-Cola as we speak. We are both absolutely delighted and can’t wait to take Beau home.”

Be on the lookout for the Spice Girls tour this fall/winter. I know you wanna go! 😉

An outside view of Cirque Lodge in Orem, Utah where Lindsay Lohan is reportedly receiving rehab treatment.

Lindsay Lohan’s currently spending time time in rehab at a Mormon-run facility in Orem, Utah. Just last month, homegirl was allegedly drunkenly speeding through the streets of Los Angeles, boasting that she couldn’t get in trouble because she’s famous. She’s currently a part of a 12-step problem over at Cirque Lodge where she’s reportedly cleaning bathrooms, washing dishes, and doing laundry. TMZ.com said Lindsay is sharing a room with two patients, in addition to getting intense psychological help and “other medical treatment.” One insider says Lohan said the center is “lifesaving.” But I hear the place is pretty nice! It costs about $30,000 for a 30-day stay and offers a steak-and-salmon menu, breathtaking views, and Jacuzzi tubs. Hope this works out for her, because this girl is damn near the deep end if you know what I’m saying!

Here are Cassie’s smoking hot photos from her part of the issue of Complex Magazine! Her feature talks about her still untitled sophomore album, and why she’s going at it a second time around … even though we all know she completely bombed it the first time around! Hah! Anyhow, check out a snippet from the interview. You can check out the full thing HERE, and check out the rest of her sexy photos after the cut! She’s a wonder to look at, but I wouldn’t particularly want to listen to her sing and make a fool of herself on stage =X

What’s the most hurtful thing that was said?
That I slept my way into the industry. I think that’s really vicious. If it had nothing to do with talent, at least it had something to do with charm. But it was never jumping into bed with somebody. That’s just gross. As far as people saying I couldn’t sing, I did a bad job so I couldn’t hate. I was in a tough place for a second. I got really sick and was in the hospital in like November or December. It was stress and exhaustion, and I ended up going home to Connecticut. [Puffy] actually called me up when I was at home and asked me what I wanted to do. I was like, “I want to do another album.”

So there’s no truth to the rumors that you were involved with Diddy or your producer Ryan Leslie…
They have no root. Somebody just starts it. “Cassie’s pregnant with somebody’s baby.” Sites saying they heard from a specific source. [Laughs] I read this thing where Beyoncé’s like, “I haven’t looked online in seven years to read about myself. That’s how I keep going. Nothing can pull me back into that matrix.” That’s a good situation. But for me, that’s where I connected first, so I can’t leave that behind. I don’t read celebrity blogs, but I like Perez Hilton when I do.

 

R&B singer Tamia and basketball star Grant Hill welcomed a baby girl to their family earlier today. Lael Rose Hill arrived in Orlando, Florida weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. Mother and daughter are doing fine, a rep tells PEOPLE. The singer announced her pregnancy on her MySpace page back here in March. This is the second child for the couple. Their first daughter, Myla Grace, is five years old. Grant said he was “thrilled” about the growing family, and despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003, Tamia said she feels “fine.” Congratulations guys!
