Alicia Keys & Swizz Beats Engaged??

Many blogs are buzzing with rumors that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have gotten engaged. They were recently snapped on the beach in Hawaii, and in the pics, Keys is sporting some bling on her ring finger. But the wedding will have to wait, as Beatz’s divorce from singer Mashonda isn’t quite yet final. I’m looking closely at the ring and it doesn’t look exactly like an engagement ring if you ask me. Whatevs..

**UPDATE** 1/ 26/10

While her reps continue to deny the engagement, sources in the Keys camp have confirmed that the couple got engaged on her 29th birthday on Monday. Swizz allegedly popped the question with a 7 karat diamond ring and the couple is said to be celebrating in Hawaii.

Jennifer Hudson Expecting….AGAIN??!

Not sure how true this is, but several sources are reporting that Jennifer Hudson is pregnant again. Not that it’s far fetched, but I need to see some photos or hear an official statement from her before I believe this one entirely (Photo above is from previous pregnancy). Here’s what Star Magazine is reporting……

“Jennifer was in total shock when she found out she was having another baby,” says her close friend, who adds that the couple learned they were expecting on Dec. 10. “She had wanted some space between the kids’ ages.”…
“She and David love kids,” says the pal. “It’s another thing for them to celebrate during the holidays.”

If this is true then congrats to the family! But isn’t it about time to tie that knot now? Just sayin’….

****UPDATE*****
This just in!! Reports that Jennifer Hudson is pregnant with her second child are “not true,” the singer’s publicist tells us. 

On another note. We’re hearing J-Hud wants to sell the Chicago, Illinois home where her mother and brother were murdered in a tragic killing spree. The singer/actress was left grief-stricken in October, 2008 when her mom Darnell Donerson and brother, Jason, were found shot dead at the property. The body of her seven-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found in an abandoned car three days later. The home in the suburb of Englewood is now jointly owned by Hudson and her sister Julia, mother of Julian. I can’t blame her for wanting to ditch that thing. I would’ve put that property on the market the very next day!! Problem is- her sister isn’t ready to give the house up just yet.

Robin Thicke Continues Family Tradition

Wait a sec…..this isn’t the happy couple!!

Why does Rihanna have her paws all over Robin????? Oh….hold on, here’s the happy couple…..

Whew!! All is fair in the land of Oz again. Btw, that’s Robin’s dad Alan Thicke in the pic. Remember him?

Robin Thicke says when it comes to family, all is forgiven at Christmas. He tells Essence…

“You know how your family gets on your nerves all year long? Christmas is that one time where, to me, family was the most magical. My grandpa would show up, my aunts and uncles are there, there’s presents under the tree, the food tastes great. So that was always my greatest memory of family.”

And now with a little one on the way in May, Thicke and his wife, actress Paula Patton, are looking forward to “re-starting” the tradition in their family. Yesterday Thicke told Essence.com they’re expecting a boy they’ve named Julian. 

Speaking of Essence….

Queen Latifah, Zoe Saldana, Gabourey Sidibie and Mary J. Blige will be honored at the third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, to be held during Oscar Week on March 4th at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The women are being lauded for making a significant impact in Hollywood.The event also commemorates Essence magazine’s annual Hollywood issue and the publication’s 40th anniversary.

Tiger Woods Caught Cheating: A Woman’s Wrath

All hell broke loose over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend between Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren. From what I gather, Tiger Woods was stepping out with another woman, Elin caught wind, and tried to beat the dog devil out of him, causing him to crash into a tree. Two stories are surfacing about the incident:

Story #1
Tiger allegedly had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman (Rachel Uchitel) and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree.

Story #2
The Windemere Police Department says Tiger’s wife claims she went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. Both Tiger and Elin claim that the scratches on his face where caused by the car accident. However, there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV.

Tiger is now going with Elin’s story and claims that all reports of a domestic dispute between the two are false. Meanwhile, Tiger’s so called friends are still releasing info to the press. One friend says that during a phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, “I have to run to Zales to get a ‘Kobe Special.’” The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a “Kobe Special” was. The reply “A house on a finger.” (referring to the ring Kobe bought Vanessa after the Colorado rape scandal.) During the conversation, Tiger also said his wife had “gone ghetto” on him.

JD & Janet Jackson Stronger Than Ever

I reported this about two weeks ago, but now In Touch Magazine is also reporting that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are planning to wed early next year. A source close to Janet says, “everyone thought they had broke up, but Jermaine was just giving Janet space to deal with death of her brother and the two never fell out of love with one another.”

JD has brushed off the wedding rumors, but reports state they are rushing the nuptials because Janet plans to raise Michael’s three children and feels it would be best for them to have a strong father figure in their life.

Speaking of Jermaine Durpi, he threw an official party introducing his watch collection in ATL. Celebrities like Big Boi, Monica, Teyana Taylor, Lance Gross, Eva Marcille, and more came out to support….

Jay-Z Ready For Baby Making

I’m excited to report that Jay-Z told Gotham Magazine that he said to his wife Beyonce, “have a baby by me baby?” Maybe not in those words, but in the interview Jay said procreating is high on their priority list right now, though you won’t see that tidbit of info in the print edition of the magazine.

Currently Jay-Z is on tour for the rest of the month and picks back up through out next Spring, but he says he and Bey have no career worries in sight and very much invested in baby making.

Khloe & Lamar: Ready For Babies & Amerie All Grown Up!

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom rushed down the alter, and now it looks like the couple doesn’t want to waste any more time before having a baby!

When Chelsea Handler had the newlyweds on her late night show,  Lamar slyly said that Khloe would be pregnant “soon.” (probably has one in the oven already, thus the rush marraige ummkay!).

When asked if they want to start a family right away, Lamar stroked  molested Khloe’s thigh and said ”I do!” Khloe, who looked caught off guard, said, “Okay!”

“I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar,” Kardashian, who dropped 25 pounds this fall, told E! News. “I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn’t want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I’ve gained about five pounds.” (She says she is back on the QuickTrim diet plug plug)

Besides a possible pregnancy, they have another project potentially in the works: their own reality show! Surprised??? No way, we all saw that one coming.

On another note, check out Lil Miss Amerie- all grown up!! Here she is in the new issue of Elle Magazine….

Leona Lewis Defends Her Man!

If you have anything negative to say about Leona Lewis’ longtime boyfriend think again.

There have been some media outlets continuously dogging the singer for still dating her Electrician boyfriend whom she knew before she was famous.

Lewis, 24, has been with Electrician Lou Al-Chamaa since she was 17 and calls him her “best friend”. 

When she was asked about the “snide bewilderment” that accompanies references to their enduring love, she says, “It does make me angry. Because he’s a great person. And it doesn’t matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from.”

Speaking to The Observer, she says, “This is real life, it isn’t make believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you’re a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them.”

I just totally moved her to the top of my down ass chick list!! You go Leona!!!

Fergie’s Husband Caught Cheating?!?

Was Josh Duhamel really cheating on his wife Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas??   Well if the results of a polygraph test are your judge and jury then the answer would be YES!! Here’s the story:

According to sources, Duhamel, 36, met stripper Nicole Forrester in early October at an all-nude club in Atlanta called Tattletales Lounge, where she performs under the name “Delilah.”Duhamel denies the report emphatically.Duhamel was in Georgia filming the romantic comedy Life As We Know It, when he and a pal stopped by the club. Forrester says Josh first identified himself as “JD”, and said he was in town to make a porn movie. “I told him, ‘You are gorgeous’ and he said, ‘’You’re hot, too.’”Forrester says after drinking Grey Goose vodka together, Duhamel had Nicole perform a nude dance for him and a male friend.She says before he left, they exchanged phone numbers, and on October 9th, he called her and invited her to his $820-a night room at the St. Regis hotel.Forester goes on to describe their encounter, which led to sex, she says. The Enquirer article says that Forester passed a rigorous polygraph and that she was paid for telling her story.

So will Fergie be giving Josh the Bom Boom Pow??? It would take stronger evidence than a scummy stripper story in the Enquirer (which she was PAID for), and alleged polygraph results to make me leave my husband. But hey that’s just me. 

Khloe & Lamar Get “Stamped” To Make It Official!

Khloe Kardashian  and Lamar Odom have made their bond official with matching monogram tattooes…..

At least these tattoo’s are prefixes for about 100 other words in the english language…JUUUUUST IN CASE THINGS DON’T END HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

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!!
