Nene’s Son Is Behind Bars…AGAIN!

One of my favorite Real Housewives of Atlanta, Nene Leakes just can’t get a break. Just a few days ago, her son Bryson Bryant entered the Gwinnett County Detention Center for two misdemeanor charges: the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and failure to appear. Like really?

Well…I am not too surprised since Mr. Bryson seems to always have his hands in something dirty. SMH

Bryson appears to have entered the detention center on March 7. See where dropping out of school gets you??

Tidbits & Morsels…

Will loves the kids!…

Will-I-Am is sending four students to college through his I-Am Scholarship fund. Will grew up in a Los Angeles housing project and never went to college. After receiving a hefty sum for DJ-ing a party, a light bulb went off.

He tells People magazine:

“I did the math and I could send three kids to school [with that money]… “It’s one thing to make it and you’ve got your own apartment, or house, or car — and you keep it for you. That’s not making it. Making it is spreading it.”

And then there’s DMX…

DMX aka Earl Simmons was arrested in Arizona yesterday. Sources say that he violated the terms of his probation by using illegal drugs over the past 9 months. His lawyer Gary Jenkins mentioned, “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”…Ok is this something we didn’t already know??? In hopes to make the situation better, his lawyer is reaching out to a man named Dr. Drew Pinsky. For some reason Jenkins believes this may be the only man who can save him.

We’ve seen DMX go in and out of jail too many times !… Somebody please pray for Earl.

Well look who’s coming back to the big screen…Ja Rule!

Ja Rule and Adriene Bailon will co-star in the independent film “I’m in Love With a Church Girl.” The flick centers on a drug dealer who’s turned his life around but must choose between returning to his old way of life or continuing down a right path when he meets the girl of his dreams.(what a stretch)

Ok maybe not the “Big Screen”…but hey he’s trying…right???

CBS has selected Grammy and Oscar award winner Jennifer Hudson to perform “One Shining Moment” at the conclusion of the NCAA men’s basketball championship game.

Jennifer Hudson says:

“The song inspires you, it moves you. It motivates you and helps you reach that goal and that dream.”

“One Shining Moment” has been performed as the concluding song at the NCAA for the past 23 years and Jennifer will be the FIRST woman to belt the beautiful lyrics.

Akon Goes Bollywood

Singer/Producer Akon expanding his brand (music) into the Indian film market . According to EURWeb, Akon had made a “musical contribution to the soundtrack of “RA.One,” a Bollywood sci-fi action film currently in production.” Which I think is a very smart move considering that the Indian market is estimated at $1.2 billion. Cha-ching!

Akon is not the first to do this, back in 2008, rapper Snoop Dogg was featured on the Bollywood film “Singh is King.” Unlike Snoop, Akon will record his song in local language Hindi.

Akon reports:

“India is my next focus area, want to try different things, want to explore… want to enjoy my work. We have the same kind of entertainment, the only difference is of tradition and language.”

After “failing” at radio, Akon went back to doing what he does best. Good Move!

March 9th is “Biggie Day”

Today is the 13th anniversary of the shooting death of Notorious BIG…

In honor of his late homie BIG, Sean “Diddy” Combs is throwing a party at The Lab in Biggie’s native Brooklyn, New York.

Diddy recently told MTV:

“It’s gonna be the first time I’m throwing a party in Brooklyn. I’m from Harlem. Everybody in Harlem knows you don’t usually go over the bridge to Brooklyn. It’s a big, big deal… I’m going over there to pay respect to my man… March 9th is Biggie Day.”

Today MTV Jams will be playing non-stop Biggie videos, as well as clips from other fallen music stars, including Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Aaliyah and Big Pun. 

Can you believe even after all these years Biggie’s murder remains unsolved???

Video – Neighbors Know My Name – Trey Songz

Last night “106th & Park” debuted Trey Songz’ new video, “Neighbors Know My Name”…

Trey Songz can make a grown woman blush. *smiles* The lucky woman in this video is none other than Victoria Secret model Jessica White.

I am not sure if you heard or not, but there have been a few rumors going around that Trey might be “swinging for the same team”…OH-EMMM-GEEE!!! No worries, Trey quickly nipped that in the bud.

During a recent radio interview he explained:

“You gotta ignore stuff like that, being an artist, because people are gonna say stuff about me daily. I’m so far from gay. The bigger I get, the more [stuff is said] about me. It’s cool with me.”

You go baby boy!…but umm really please don’t disappoint me!

And if you’re a Trey fan, you can catch him on the Blueprint Three tour with Jay-Z.

The “Boo” Chronicles…

Jamie Foxx was boo’d up with actress Stacey Dash all night at the Oscars…umm when did this happen?

Apparently they walked the red carpet together at the Vanity Fair event and Elton John’s party. I thought Stacey was married and that Jamie was…ahh well I can’t keep up. Go Jamie!

Also in coupleville…

A new reality TV romance is budding. According to a snitch, NFL play Chad Ochocinco and his “Dancing with the Stars” cast member, Nicole Sherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls appear to be getting together. The two are both in Los Angels preparing for the upcoming season, and word on the street is that they’ve already been on a couple of dates. Hmmm…remember when he was jogging naked? Maybe he was running to her house.

And in splitsville…

I just learned that “American Idol” finalist Kimberly Locke and her boyfriend, “Celebrity Fit Cllub” judge Sgt. Harvey have called it quits. *gasps* I mean the couple had been dating for nearly two years, and then all of a sudden last week they decided to end things? Well I spoke to a source close to the couple who said that is was all Sgt. Harvey’s fault. The little birdie told me, “Harvey didn’t want to get married and Kim did, so she packed her bags.”

I am not mad at that…I’m sure sistah-girl does not have another 2 years to waste!

Ludacris goes to BATTLE…

Ludacris returns today with his seventh studio disc, “Battle of the Sexes.” The follow-up to 2008’s “Theater of the Mind” includes the hot single “My Chick Bad” featuring Diamond, Trina and Eve. The album also has guest spots from Nicki Minaj, Shawna, Trey Songz, Ne-Yo and Monica. Chea!

Luda says this album speaks to the age-old differences between men and women. Hmm this should be interesting…

Luda says:

“There’s only two types of people in this world, and for thousands and thousands of years we have tried to understand one another — and we still don’t 100 percent understand each other.”

Speaking of battles…Weezy is finally in jail!

Lil’ Wayne was finally sentenced yesterday in a New York courtroom. He arrived to the courthouse to press and screaming fans, and was sentenced to one year.

For a minute I thought the brotha was trying to be slick. I mean first it was his historical dental surgery and then a “spontaneous” fire that broke out in the courthouse.

In case you didn’t know, Lil Wayne plead guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted to having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007. Why was there a gun??? Ugh anyway…with good behavior, he could be released in eight months.

On a lighter note…a big congrats to Solange!

Solange was named one of three new spokeswomen for Rimmel cosmetics. She joins current spokeswoman, supermodel Kate Moss.

Work that face honey!

Happy Birthday Bow Wow!

Today rap star Bow Wow turns 23! I remember when he was just a little boy singing about puppy love wearing his Mickey Mouse chain. Boy he grew up quick!

Enjoy your day Bow!

Montel Williams Cries Broke!

Entertainment veteran, Montel Williams, is broke??? That’s his story….

According to RadarOnline, the same Montel Williams who had a TV talk show that ran for 17 seasons, writer of a best-selling memoir annnnnnd TV infomercial pitchman, cried broke this past Friday. In a recent court hearing, Williams claimed he couldn’t pay $7,500 in legal fees for his kids’ attorney in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Montel’s attorney told the judge:

“Mr. Williams’ financial situation is extremely perilous.”

WHAT?!!!! Yes it sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

Montel and his ex-wife, Grace, have been divorced for almost 10 years now and have been dealing with a grueling custody battle with their two children. Sources have told me he is “up to date” with his $18, 700 monthly child support payments, however he rarel seees his teenage kids.

Hmm…selling all those “green machines”…it seems like it would have brought some green in his pockets! I’m just saying’!

Precious Was A KNOCKOUT!

Precious rocked this weekend…

Kicking off the weekend right, Precious was the big winner at Friday’s Independent Spirit Awards. The film took Best Feature, Best Director (Lee Daniels), Best Actress (Gabourey Sidibe), Best Supporting Actress (Mo’Nique) and Best First Screenplay (Geoffrey Fletcher).

…Monique also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

And if that wasn’t enough…Writer Of Precious Makes History!

Geoffrey Fletcher made history last night becoming the first African American to win an Oscar for screenwriting. Almost in tears, Geoff dedicated his speech to any and everyone that has impacted his life. He said,“This is for Precious boys and girls everywhere!” He has also been labeled one of the top 10 screenwriters to watch by Variety Magazine! 

Check out his speech:

                    

Although Gabby did not walk away with an Oscar, she sure is a winner in all of our hearts…especially in Oprah’s!

During the Oscars, Oprah announced:

“When we look at you, we see a true American Cinderella, on the threshold of a brilliant new career. Precious is but the first of many adjectives coming your way. And they are all great. Congratulations, Gabby Sidibe.”

Now usually Oprah gets what she wants, but she wasn’t so lucky last night. According to an interview with People Magazine,  Oprah asked Gabby if she could she could accompany her to the Oscars and got SHUT DOWN!

Gabby says:

“Oprah called me and was like, ‘Hey girl, do you want to ride together?’ I was like, ‘I got it Oprah, calm down. I don’t want to show up with you. People will think we’re too cool.”

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Get your shine on!

Oscar Fashion: Yes or Mess?

Queen Latifah glowed on the Oscar carpet in her Antique Rose shoulder strap gown….

But I cannot say the same for Zoe Saldana. This gown was doing way too many things at once for my taste. The can can girl detail was a major fail but the shoes and lack of a pedicure only made matters worse……

Mairah & Nick Cannon looked fierce as always, that was UNTIL…….

…..I peeped Mariah’s split that rode all the way up to her neck. The bodice of this gown is so elegant. Why would anyone dare to destroy such a classy neckline with a Playaz club split??

Go Gabby!!!!!

Nice look for Anika Noni Rose dont’cha think?

…And J-lo gets a 50/50 on this gown. I LOVED her profile in this Armani gown but she could have gone without the hip train. Overdone is simply overdone! To be honest, it doesn’t look so bad in these photos but those of you who watched the red carpet coverage know exactly what I’m talking about. Three people tripped over her hip train . She needs to take out liability insurance before donning an outfit like this. But check out the sexy back profile…….

Mo’Nique Wins The Oscar!!!

Congratulations to Mo’Nique for winning the Oscar for her performance in “Precious. Momma has come a loooonnnng way since working at the phone company in Baltimore….

Was it because she forgot to thank Director of “Precious”, Lee Daniels??

D’Angelo Busted Again!!

Poor D’Angelo tried to offer a woman $40 for a blow job just yesterday! Turns out the lady was an undercover cop and he was immediately taken to jail! He was supposedly riding around the West Village with $12,000 in his SUV and only offered the poor lady $40 for her Brown Sugar! Smh! It isn’t looking to good for the Grammy Award Winner singer!  I wonder….”How Does It Feel” to be a pervert and a cheapskate??!!
