A Scar is FOREVER........



Beyonce was spotted landing in France for the Cannes Film Fest....... Jay Z was spotted arriving today to. Anyway, as always Mrs. Carter look fabulous (matching Chanel bag and all) but I guess cocoa butter and scar repair serum just aren't working for that booboo on her leg- that was the result of the fell she took down the steps a year or so ago!!!!!! Poor Bey. I know everytime she lotions herself she thinks of that dreaded fall.........(or is it too Hollywood of me to think that she has someone put her lotion on for her)? Click the photos for the largeness

Chirs & Rihanna Plan Duet and Kim K Preggers?!?!?!


From Panache Report (one of my FAVORITE sites in the world!!!!): R&B star Rihanna is planning a duet with her singer boyfriend Chris Brown. The pair has been dating since earlier this year-a romance they have yet to discuss in public, despite being spotted vacationing together and kissing and cuddling in a Miami, Florida fast food restaurant earlier this month. Now friends say the R&B duo are planning to record a track together-with some help from Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z. "Rihanna is impressed with Chris' voice. It was a natural step for her to say, 'Let's do a duet.' "She's asking Jay-Z to look around for a beat for the two of them, something sexy and snazzy."


Hopefully it will sound better than when Chris just went and added his vocals to the "Umbrella" remix singing "You can be my Cinderella- ella- ella..........". I still loathe that song to this day!!!!







In other Hollywood couple news reported on Panache Report, Kim K is allegedly preggers by Reggie Bush!!!!! (her fan club Bossip.com hasn't reported it yet so I will wait for them to confirm or deny). But, this may explain her lack of tight fit clothing when she hosted a party at Pure nightclub in Atlanta the other night, with Reggie Bush in tow. I wonder if anyone saw her sipping on some bubbly?!?!? Sandra Rose has the photos from the event.





I guess Kim's skirt wasn't too snug but that top is about to BUST OPEN!!!!!!! And we won't even begin to once again talk about how Mr. Bush has lost his swag!!!! I'm about to start watching the MLB!!!! These football and basketball players just don't do it for me anymore.

Kanye and Common Getting Sued


From That'sHipHop: Kanye West, Common, Method Man & Redman, and their respective labels are being sued by the daughter of late jazz musician Joe Farrell for appropriating a sample from one of his records without permission. Kathleen Firrantello, Farrell’s daughter, is the rappers for using a sample from Farrell’s "Upon This Rock." Also named in the suit are the rappers’ labels, all part of Universal Music Group. The sample allegedly appears in the Kanye’s "Gone," Common’s "Chi-Town" and Method Man and Redman’s "Run for Cover." Firrantello is seeking a million dollars in damages and an injunction against additional copies of the song being sold or performed.

2009 Chanel Cruise Collection


Shoutout to my homie Meli in Miami. She sent over this photo of these FIERCE shoes from the 2009 Chanel Cruise Collection. The show went down a few weeks ago at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami and the entire collection is to die for.




Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld was inspired by an image of a gun he saw and gave the image to a Chanel shoe designer and they came up with this "Miami Vice" shoe. A release date and price hasn't been listed but I'm sure they will be wayyyy out of my price range. I will have to wait for Michael Antonio to design a pair for under $39.99!!!!!
Take a look at some of the other hot shoes and dresses in the 2009 Cruise Collection

Make Plays for Africa Foundation in conjunction with Strike 4 a Cure Charity Weekend, spearheaded by NY Giant's Osi Umenyiora, is dedicated to inspiring hope and providing economic resources to researchers in the quest to find a cure for HIV/AIDS and Alzheimer's disease. The big event went down in Atlanta over the weekend and helped raise tens of thousands for the foundation.










The who's who of Atlanta showed up to support the 2nd annual Strike 4 a Cure Black Tie Affair raising over $40,000 towards the cause. Athletes from far and wide then laced up and greased their bowling balls to assist with striking out a cure for 2 detrimental diseases with special guests including Lloyd and more at 300 Bowling Alley. All proceeds from "STRIKE 4 A CURE" will help support Alzheimer's and Aids Education Services for Minorities

Usher is Such A B*TCH DIVA!!!!


My homegirl LaShonda over at The E Biz has the scoop on Usher acting like a true B*TCH diva on the set of the Dancing with the Stars Finale. Read on:




Usher’s pre-taped, edited performance for the Dancing with the Stars finale may look seamless, but what happened behind the scenes at the singer’s May 13th, taping left host Tom Bergeron and company scratching their heads–and scrambling to set up for the live show.



First, the 29-year-old singer arrived late, throwing the entire production behind schedule. Then, while appearing to lip-synch two songs—"Yeah!" and "Love in This Club"—he fell out of step with his choreography, turning the wrong way once and losing his mic a second time. With each mistake he walked offstage.




"He was ridiculous," a source tells People Magazine "Such a diva."



Isn't DIVA the nice word for BISH!!!!!?!?!? Sounds to me like Usher has LOST IT!!!!!!! I wonder how many times he had to re-shoot that wack Ass routine at the end of the Love in this Club video?!?!? To view his perfromance, CLICK HERE.

Rihanna's Big Screen Debut

Rihanna is set to make her big screen debut in the movie adaptation of Iceberg Slim's novel "Mama Black Widow"!!!!! The film lists a big line up of other major stars including Kerry Washington, Anthony Anderson, Mos Def and Macy Gray, Brian J White and more.

Here is the IMBD synopsis: Mama Black Widow is the portrait of a black family's migration from the southern Mississippi cotton picking fields of the segregated south to the ghettoized black underworld of Chicago during the 1930's. The story follows Otis Tilson's (played by Brian J White) struggle to keep his family together as they navigate through a world of alcoholism, homosexuality, pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation. Told in the gut level language of the original novel by Iceberg Slim, the family's journey is a harsh testament of lives lived on the margins of a racist and predatory world.

Rihanna will play a character named Carol, who in the book falls in love with the wrong type of man and its create tragic results. At this time, the movie doesn't have a release date but it is currently in production. From what I can tell by reading a review of the book, this story is amazing and the movie should be incredible!!!!!

Mel B aka THE SEX EXPERT?!?!?



Former SPICE GIRLS star MEL B is so hot in the bedroom she thinks she should win a gold medal for sex. The singer insists she has never had to worry about pleasing a man in bed, and her second husband Stefan Belafonte is more than happy with his sex life.

She reveals, "If there was an Olympic sport for anything, I'd win gold for sex.
"I've always felt sexy. I've never looked in the mirror and moaned about the way I look... Me and Stefan have a pretty hot sex life and I admit I look quite good in my underwear."
