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!

Rihanna & Her Boytoy Make Their Rounds

Rihanna and her “friend” Matt Kemp were spotted courtside at a Lakers game over the weekend. The Dodgers player seems overly animated about something, perhaps its his new $11 Million deal….

Janet Jackson Got A New Man??!!?

Janet Jackson confirmed recently that she and Jermaine WERE NOT a couple again despite reports that the two have reconciled.

Entertainment Tonight is claiming that Janet may have rebounded rather quickly from Jermaine. She was allegedly caught having an “intimate” dinner with actor Colin Farrell at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills last week. “Colin and Janet were sitting side-by-side in a booth.”…..Umm last time I checked, sitting together in a booth didn’t exactly qualify as ‘bumping uglies.”

I’m not convinced about this rumored couple just yet. Besides, didn’t Colin’s Polish girlfriend just have a baby??! Maybe this is just the (planted) publicity they both need to give their careers a jolt.

Tidbits & Morsels

Pleasure P was in Chicago the other day at the radio station with Eddie Murphy’s daughter, Bria Murphy. When asked about their relationship status, Pleasure said that the two were just “close friends”…in the words of Bizmarkie “But you say she’s just a friend, but you say she’s just a friend, oh babeee youuuu…”

For the record, Pleasure let it be known that he DID meet Eddie Murphy and that Eddie gave the two “FRIENDS” his blessing.

With little over a month to go, Mary J. Blige is making one last change to her album title. Her ninth studio album will now go by the name “Stronger With Each Tear,” due December 22.

Also look for the Queen of Hip Hop Soul to perform at Sunday’s American Music Awards.

Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail on November 12 due to a probation violation. He’ll be eligible for release in six months or less. Gucci has issued the following statement in response to his legal troubles:

“I have accepted full responsibility for my actions and I am ready to deal with what is in front of me right now. Thankfully, my label is still moving forward with my album release so I will have plenty to look forward to when I get out. I am remaining positive and want my fans to know that I am grateful for their loyalty and continued support. I will get through this.”

Despite his recent incarceration, Gucci Mane is still pushing forward with plans to release his new album “The State vs. Radric Davis” on December 8. The album, includes the hit single “Spotlight” featuring Usher, plus collaborations with Keyshia Cole, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy Tell’em, Keri Hilson, and more.

50 Cent: “Kelly Was Robbed”

50 Cent and Kelly Rowland have gotten awfully close since she starred in his “Baby by Me” video. Curtis Jackson defended her recently to Billboard Magazine by saying “she doesn’t get the credit she deserves”.

“You can’t forget all the work she did with Destiny’s Child. The difference between Kelly and Beyonce is the extreme focus they put on Beyonce to make sure she was completely right… In order for her to mean anything to America, they’d have to match the marketing dollars spent on Beyonce. She never received the superstar treatment.”

50 says he wanted Rowland in the clip “because she’s beautiful. I ran into Kelly at the Latin V-M-A’s…and I asked her if she would consider doing it.”

I wonder how Ciara is feeling about this?! Btw, 50’s new disc, Before I Self Destruct, arrives November 16th….My birthday!

Annnnnd Chico DeBarge performed on “The Monique Show” last night. Oooowwww!

Angela Simmons: Tell Em’ Why Ya Mad….

Angela Simmons doesn’t appreciate all the ” slimy side eye’s” she’s been getting in regards to her interracial relationship. She sounded off about on Global Grind. Check it out:

I am a lil surprised at the number of people that seem to disapprove of the relationship with my boyfriend. I find this reality to be kind of hard to accept. There are times when I notice people giving us long hard stares and those stares are usually from my own people!

Honestly, I wish everyone could benefit from the beauty that can come from experiences that happen outside of your own comfort zone. It is truly a beautiful thing that can add so much to your life.Give it a shot and you can learn so much from a person you never thought you’d talk to or have something in common with. I’m not just talking about dating but about all types of relationships.Sometimes society makes it hard for us to be comfortable enough in our own skin to embrace others who are different.”

Angela is wise and mature beyond her years. It’s hard enough these days to find someone compatible. Who cares if they are red, white, purple or yellow so long as they treat you with respect!!

Rihanna Dispels JT Romance Rumors

Rihanna has slammed the rumors alleging that she is not “hooking up” with Justin Timberlake to do more than cut records in the studio. RiRi is putting her foot down on the rumors now, she even allegedly made a call to JT’s girl, actress Jessica Biel, to let her know that absolutely NOTHING is going on between her and her man…Well that is nothing except a friendship and music. Rihanna told Biel that she’d never get with a man that’s involved and be the other woman because she knows how it feels to be cheated on… (awww Chris Brown really broke her heart). Let’s see– Rihanna a homewrecker, now we’ve been down this road before between Jay-Z and the Mrs. and that was a dead end as well….

Now did we REALLLLLLYYYYY think that Rihanna was dipping in JT-land?

I sure didn’t. Not at all.

Guess Who Got Fired??!

Def Jam exec Grace Miguel, the woman who has been romantically linked with Usher, just got the ax from Def Jam.  Rumor has it that L.A. Reid forced Grace to resign last week because she was ‘mixing too much business with pleasure’.  Her very public trysts with the still legally married Usher have allegedly been bringing bad press on the label and his reps are afraid that the bad publicity will hurt his public image. 

Here’s the kicker, according to YBF, “Usher not only cheated on soon to be ex-wife Tameka with Grace, who is 12 years his senior…but Grace was indeed married at the time as well.  She filed for divorce conveniently around the same time Usher did.  Tameka was also married and ‘filing for divorce’ around the same time she and Usher got together.”  

Dayummm, well its like I always say, how you get a man is how you will lose him!!! Karma is the baddest beyotch I know.

Toccara’s New Man!!

BET Host and Americas Next Top Model alumni Toccara was showing of her new boyfriend on the red carpets in LA. That’s Rasual Butler of the L.A. Clippers. Biiiig step up from the last “known” relationship. Congratulations on the graduation girl, she went from a GED to a PH.D…Get it girl!!

Kanye West Getting Back With The Ex?

According to Illseed, Kanye West may be getting back with his ex fiance Alexis Phifer. Apparently the two sat down for lunch recently because Kanye  needed a true blue friend. Nobody really know’s what was said, but body language may have said it all. Sources claim that “Ye is looking for some stabilizing force in his life and Alexis may be it.”  

Hmmm….I always liked Alexis and Kanye as a couple, no hate on Amber Rose. Ye really needs someone to help him plant his feet back on earth, cuz Lord knows the brother is floating recklessly into the atmosphere.

Khloe Kardashian Totes Her New Man Around

Usher Divorce Finalized?

Usher is feeling like he’s on top of the world right now and with good reason!!!

 We’ve got word that  the R&B crooners divorce from his wife, Tameka Foster, has allegedly been finalized and he is now a free man based off a pre-court settlement agreement. 

BV Buzz reports “The camps aren’t talking now – likely preparing to give an exclusive to a media outlet like People magazine – but I hear an official announcement should drop soon.A rep for the singer did not answer a detailed request for comment. Foster’s publicist refused to issue any statements regarding the matter, ”In the future, please don’t bother us again for direct quotes or responses from Tameka” .

I guess Tameka has had her fill of the negative press. This divorce came right on time since Usher is now being romantically linked to European R&B singer Jade Ewen.

*****UPDATE*****

Tameka’s Publicist, Sasha Brookner reached out to us today to clear up the above story. According to Sasha, the Usher and Tameka’s divorce has not been officially finalized. Its still an open case in the Fulton County Superior Court. 

A-Rod Has Huge Weekend, Kate Hudson Responsible? & Mike Vick Not Off The Hook Yet

Over the weekend the NY Yankees took all four games from their archrivals the Boston Red Sox. The key player in the victories was Alex Rodriquez who people claim isn’t clutch. A-Rod hit a home run in the bottom of the 15^th inning of a scoreless game for the win Friday as well as another Sunday night.

I have never agreed with him not being a clutch player but I have to admit he has been getting more hits in bigger spots lately and I know the reason why. A-Rod finally has a woman that is helping him rather then taking away from him. Alex has been with many famous women, the most famous being Madonna, and they clearly have not helped his play. The key this season has been Kate Hudson. I know that many women can negatively affect the way a man performs in his profession but it seems he has found one that has helped him. Rodriquez has been playing with a surgically repaired hip and has exceeded realistic expectations. Yankees fans need to hope they stay together and happy because it is the key to the Yankees winning the World Series.

In other sports news…

Michael Vick wasn’t anywhere near the latest Hall of Fame ceremony, and he hasn’t even returned to the NFL yet. However, there was a reminder of the impact he might have if and when he returns to the league. Fliers were left on the windshields of cars in the parking lot outside the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. The fliers read: “Help Wanted: The NFL Hires Pet Killers.” Although there was no direct mention of Vick and there was no identification of what organization or person was responsible for the fliers, the message was obvious. In short, Vick’s return will get plenty of negative reaction.
