Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin Woods, recently gave birth to their first child, whom they named Sam Alexis Woods. The baby girl was born last Monday (ironically the day after Father’s Day) and the three recently did a photoshoot that will eventually make it’s way around the web. The kid’s cute! One question though. Is her name short for Samantha? Because it is a pet peeve of mine for parents to name their children after nicknames (Sam, John, Mark, Joe, etc.) I’m just saying…
Who the Hell Does Jigga Think He Is?
This fool thinks he’s everybody’s daddy. Shit’s NOT cool. Apparantly Jay-Z and NFL star Larry Johnson are what they call “roommates.” But I like the term “fuckbuddies” a lot better. It just rolls right off the tongue doesn’t it? Ain’t no way two grown men, who can do more than afford their own places, live together, and be seen as hot in the streets. It’s just not cool. But that’s not what this particular post is about. Daddy Jigga is mad because Larry appeared in Fantasia’s video, “When I See U.” Yeah, that’s right. He’s angry because his butt buddy didn’t follow his “advice” and did his own thing. Go figure. Here’s what Larry told the Kansas City Star:
“Between me and you, he definitely didn’t want me to do that Fantasia video. I definitely got cussed out for that one. He told me there were a lot of things he wanted to do, but he couldn’t do them. He said, ‘You gotta be able to look at yourself as a business, as stock, and the less things you do, the more people will have interest in you. The more things you do, you water down your value.'”
Boys and girls, can you say COCK BLOCKER? I wonder what Julissa and Beyonce think of this “relationship.”
Video Premiere: Yung Joc – “Coffee Shop”
This is Yung Joc’s brand new single, “Coffee Shop” featuring Gorilla Zoe, from his upcoming sophomore album Hustlenomics set to drop August 28th of this year. Shit is whack, the only compliment I can say is that the production is on point courtesy of Don Vito. See the album cover after the cut.
ALBUM REVIEW: T.I. – T.I. VS T.I.P.
Mr. Tip Harris is back with his fifth studio album T.I. vs T.I.P. set to drop July 3rd off his independent label Grand Hustle. The album features guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Jay-Z, Wyclef Jean and other peeps; it also features production by Danja, Just Blaze, and the Runners. I actually think I get the whole aspect of this, he’s basically battling his himself, literally. The person he is and the person he used to be. It’s interesting, this album plays the roles. I really can’t give anything away but it’s a hard album and it has a lot of great production. There are actually a lot of tracks that are potential hits and personally relate to a family member’s life for me. My favorite from this album is “Tell ‘Em I Said That,” this is the absolute truth, ain’t no big shots in reality ya’ll. I hate fake people that live mediocre lives, especially in these cases with rappers, talking about ish you don’t even do or have done.

T.I. Rumbles with Chaka Zulu at Kevin Liles’ “Make It Happen” Luncheon
You can dress ’em up but you can’t take ’em out nowhere! T.I. (or should I say T.I.P.) punched Chaka Zulu, who ironically is Ludacris’ Manager, at a charity event hosted by Kevin Liles yesterday that was held at the Sunset Tower Hotel Pool in Hollywood. The appropriately titled “Make It Happen†luncheon, geared towards movers and shakers in the music industry, was attended by Yung Joc, Musiq, Twista, Brandy, actor Omar Epps and guest of honor, actress Holly Robinson Peete. Apparantly T.I. was drunk and being loud when Chaka tried to get him to quiet down, according to an anonymous witness. Yeah, they made it happen alright!
“Out of nowhere, T.I. sucker-punched [Zulu] in the face with all his might. It didn’t seem to affect Chaka ’cause he commenced to throwing T.I. around the room like he was a rag doll. He could have beat T.I. senseless, but he didn’t.”
You don’t need to have a PhD to know that T.I. and his goons left after the scrap. This incident is the latest addition to a history of conflict between Ludacris and T.I. The two have often battled it out publicly, in their music videos and in the press, though their relationship seemed to have thawed recently. Looks like they put it back in the freezer ’cause it’s on again! Y’all please pray that these idiots don’t act a fool at the BET Awards tomorrow. Lawd help us all… Check out some flicks from the event below and after the cut.
Video Premieres: Kat Deluna – “Whine Up” & Avril Lavigne – “Girlfriend” (Remix)
[youtube jmcVjSYV_kc]
KAT DELUNA – WHINE UP » “It’s Summertime!” Kat Deluna is going so hard in my ipod right now, I meant to do a “New Artists” feature on her, this is her new video for the single “Whine Up,” the hot new Summer anthem featuring Elephant Man. The video is off rip forreal, nothing I expected for the song.
Don’t Call It a Comeback!
What’s good Think2wice? You have know idea how much stuff I missed out on, I’m so late with everything now! Well, if you were wondering about my refrainment from posting it was due to me and my peeples spending time in good ol’ Atl over the past weekend. It was a blast, I had a really good time, but now I’m finally back and stronger than ever! Speaking of which, that brings me to Kanye West’s new video, “Stronger” (we shall have the premiere shortly) featuring Draft Punk and a brief appearance from our favorite “It” girl, Cassie. See more stills after the cut!
Tracey & Babyface Edmonds Finalize Divorce
Â
Court papers obtained by PEOPLE are showing that Grammy-winning R&B singer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and his ex, Tracey Edmonds, have officially finalized their divorce. Tracey and Babyface had been married for 13 years. They will have joint custody of their two sons, Brandon (10) and Dylan (6) according to a Superior Court final judgment filed Friday and released on Monday. The other terms of the divorce settlement were sealed by the court. The pair announced in October 2005 that they were ending their marriage. Three months later, Tracey filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have produced movies and television shows together, including Soul Food and BET’s College Hill. They said they planned to continue working together on business ventures.
Divorces can be pretty messy, and I’m glad Tracey and Babyface handled this like the responsible adults they are. They did it Russy-Kimora style! Haha. It’s cool that they’ll still work together on a professional level, especially for the kids.
DC3 Together again (with Solange) at the BET Awards; BET Awards Producer’s Ball
The BET Awards air tomorrow and it’s supposed to be a step-up from previous years in what they call “The Main Event.” The pic above is a snapshot of one of the many seating arrangements to the now invitation only affair. I feel so sorry for Jay-Z lol. Those girls haven’t seen each other in so long they’re gonna burn his damn ears off! Haha, anyhow, a lot of events are going down as we speak preparing for the show, so we’ll do our best to keep up with them and post them here. Stay clicked!! Anyhow, this set of pre-show photos is from a party appropriately titled “The BET Awards Producer’s Ball” hosted by Swizzy (Swizz Beatz for you kids at home), Bryan Michael Cox, and Polow Da Don at the Royale Lounge in Los Angeles.

Weekend Update: ASCAP’s Rhythm & Soul Awards, Bombay Saphire Hosts Pharrell Williams Dinner, and Celebs Spotted in Beverly Hills
Here are some random photos from over the weekend! SET ONE: Ludacris & Chaka Zulu host a “Songwriter of the Year” alumni event for ASCAP’s Rhythm and Soul Awards.

Video Premieres: Chris Brown – “Wall to Wall”
TRL showed a little sneak peak of Chris Brown’s new video for “Wall to Wall,” and our good friends over at CHRIS BROWN WEB just recently posted the very Michael Jackson inspired video in it’s entirety! The video is pretty hot, but you can definitely tell he took a few notes from MJ’s “Thriller.” But, the dancing’s fresh, the story line is acceptable, and producer Sean Garrett even made a cameo! Check out the video above!
Weekend Update: Fiddy in Child Support Battle, Larry King Gets the First “Paris is Outta Jail” Interview, and Jack Osbourne Screwed Paris?
FIDDY’S BABY MAMA WANTS MORE CASH! » 50 Cent has accused ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tomkins of making “insatiable” demands over the care of their 10-year-old son. 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson appeared at the Long Island family court, New York City, on Friday to hear the latest child support demands made by Tompkins, mother of their son Marquise Diamond Jackson. [ Dustin – sorry I must cut in for a moment. Why is his middle name diamond? ] In April of this year, Jackson was ordered to pay an additional $15,000 in child support to care for his son, but now Tompkins wants more! Her legal representative Raoul Felder says Jackson is worth “tens of millions of dollars” and can afford the extra money. But a spokesman for Jackson claims Tompkins’ request is “insatiable,” adding, “Her demands keep escalating.” The case is supposed to resume today…
I can’t stand these baby-mama’s with these superstar baby-daddy’s. She just wants to sit her lazy ass at home and not do anything, and collect that poor child’s checks. You already gettin 6 figures off of child support. What more do you want? Damn! We all know how it works Shaniqua, you ain’t new to the game!
Paris Hilton is Sick of Orange
Paris gets out on Tuesday. Yeah, you’re happy … right? Anyhow, she received yet another visit from her parents over the weekend.
“Paris is doing really well, she is really looking forward to going home, and she thanks you in the press who supported her,” a family spokeswoman said afterwards. “She wants to be with the family and she can’t wait to take that orange suit off.”
Kathy Hilton told PEOPLE that Paris appears to be in good shape – though she is upset with her situation.
“She’s sick of orange,” says her mother. But, Kathy Hilton added, her daughter’s “health is good. She looks … like Paris.”
So uhh, I guess should call Mr. Hilton and tell him that the orange-themed “Welcome Home” party is off. Shoot! We had it all planned out and everything…

Ain’t karma a bitch? There’s a new rumor out and it involves Foxy Brown getting the beat-down … hey, that rhymes!

Homegirl didn’t even hear them coming, ain’t that ’bout a bitch?? Oh, and get this … dude was a PIMP! And that’s why she broke it off with him. Anyhow, they jumped on her, beat her ass, stole her purse, and ran off with her life savings of $500 to do only God knows what else!

Kelly Rowland on Wendy Williams
Kelly Rowland made an appearance on popular radio show “The Wendy Williams Experience.” This interview is effin hilarious!! I love listening to interviews on this show because Wendy is so damn ruthless! They were really doggin my girl, but she held her own. I do disagree with one thing Kelly said though. She would do so much better with anyone other than Mathew Knowles managing her career. But that’s just me… Check out the interview below!

Mike INTRODUCED HER to y’all back in April. Check out the video above!! I had no idea homegirl could dance like that!

Paris to Be Released Tuesday…
Well folks, it’s official. Paris Hilton will be released from Lynwood Jail on Tuesday, June 26th, after serving 23 days of the original 45-day sentence imposed by a judge for violating probation. The reason she won’t be serving 45 full days is because of “good behavior.” Apparently, the total term takes into account 22 days of credit for said good behavior.
“There was some confusion as to whether it would be Monday or Tuesday, and we just wanted to let people know what was happening,” says sheriff’s Sgt. Duane Allen, Jr.
Records specialists calculated her actual release date, based on Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer’s orders, and it is June 26. She can be released any time of day or night. I’m sure her ass is gonna be watching the clock, and when it hits 12:00 AM she gon be “ret ta go!” Homegirl gon be chuckin deuces on the way out, cause ya’ know she’s “too hood” now since she spent a good minute behind bars!! I might like this new Paris. I SAID “MIGHT!”
Lloyd on Wild N’ Out, Dwayne & ‘Nem at Rotten Apple, and Jaslene at Mansion
Lloyd and Nick Cannon at a recording of that show he has on MTV … I think it’s called “Wild N’ Out” or something? Damn I thought they cancelled that shit after it bombed last season!
