The Hollywood Bubbly

In case you didn't watch last night's ANTM finale, Cycle 12 ended with Teyona being crowned America's Next Top Model.

KUDOS to her because she worked it out all season long. Aminat came in 3rd and Allison was 2nd. What do you guys thinks?? Did she deserve it? Holla at me in the comments.

So Hoopz is addressing recent rumors of her recent leaked sex tape. She is claiming that her ex-boyfriend is the one who leaked the tape and that she only did it because she thought it would be deleted.
Come on now, I don't feel sorry for any of these chicks at all. I don't give a flying hoot who you are or who you do it for. You put your self in compromising situations, you end up with compromising consequences. Just deal with it.

Pop The Cork to check out the 17sec Teaser of the video. (Do I have to warn you peeps this is NSFW???)

John Legend is keeping it in the family when it comes to finding the next artists for his HomeSchool Records label. He signed his younger brother Vaughn Anthony in November of 2007. After years of training and performing background vocals, John feels now is the time to bring Mr. Vaughn to the forefront. From Billboard:

Vaughn has a great voice and a great talent for writing, and I've seen that grow over time because he just worked so hard at it. I think he's ready now.
To introduce Anthony, Legend will host a showcase for industry executives at S.O.B.'s in New York on Thursday night (May 14) in the hopes of securing a distribution deal. "It's an important venue for me," says Legend. "It was one of the places where I really launched my career." Chrisette Michele, Ryan Leslie and Kat DeLuna are among the VIPs expected to attend, and both Legend and Estelle are rumored to be performing in addition to Anthony, who will debut seven tracks from the upcoming album. As for the inevitable comparisons between siblings, Legend insists he's not concerned. "I think people make too much of it," he says. "Of course our voices are similar, we have the same genetic material. But the songs reflect his personality, and he's not me."
Anthony agrees. "Not only do me and John sound alike," he says, "but we sound like my uncles and my father. There's nothing I can really do about it but just be myself--which is far left from where [John] is--and try and make the best music I can make."

Now that's what's up! Definitely looking forward to Mr. Vaughn Anthony surfing the music waves!

Eminem was spotted giving photogs the finger (as usual) in London while on the way to a recording studio.




Gotta love some Slim Shady!

The King of 'Fits' has his next battle. Kanye West apparently isn't a big fan of the now overly popular social site, Twitter. He posted the following message on his blog about his "fake" accounts:

This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON’T HAVE A F—ING TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F—ING TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A F—ING FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!

I dont' blame him one bit. The execs for Twitter probably are the ones behind the fake pages anyways. I tried Twitter and I so don't understand the hype about it. Just not my cup of tea.

Our favorite Diva was spotted on the beach in Monaco today.

Ciara recently performed Never Ever live on Jay Leno and them vocals wasn't too pretty...



SMH...This reminds me to never go and see her in concert. I can only imagine that would be much worst...On a positive note, she looks great and her moves are always on point.

She keeps getting worse and worse. Amy Winehouse was performing on stage at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival. I dont' know if she fell or what but it's obvious she's an apparent HOT MESS!!! Her crew is having to help her get that skinny body off the floor.




OMG...SMH

Naomi was spotted on the beach putting on a pair of camouflage capris

By the look of her face she is hot as all get out.

And Tyra was spotted arriving at LAX looking fabulous as usual with little makeup.



Love the comfortable look!

How's this for being the Rev's son...

Via TMZ:

Law enforcement
sources tell TMZ the 19-year old was seen allegedly buying the marijuana and rolling a joint while sitting in a car on Manhattan's Upper West Side. We're told he tried to get away by throwing his car into reverse, and nearly backed into the officer's car.

Simmons Jr, known as JoJo on the MTV reality show "Run's House," was also booked for resisting arrest, attempted reckless endangerment, and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

HOT MESS INDEED!! Just getting too grown.

Boy, Rick is a straight perpetrator for real.

So Louis Vuitton has reportedly called the rapper out for endorsing a pair of fake LV shades he wore on the May 2009 cover of XXL Magazine. They wrote an open letter to Ross and the magazine:

We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks.
The sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.

Ricky Rick, it's time to sit it down somewhere for real and stop trying to live the high life. Come on off Cloud 9 and join the rest of us in this here recession. I hate to say that because I love Rick but he's been messing up too much lately.

YBF broke the news that there will indeed be a baby Weezy on the way via Lauren London. Supposedly, Lauren is now 5 months pregnant. Confirmation came about about a celebrity manager stated that Lauren had to turn down a movie role due to her pregnancy. Now Weezy and the two dated a while back but evidently something got rekindled somewhere. Of course, neither of the 2 have confirmed anything so we'll have to see how things play out.

Yes indeed, it is really true. I don't know how I let this slip under the rug.

Saaphyri, born Wanda Scott, is currently serving a 3 year sentence for failing to appear in court after she was accused of stealing her Uncle's identity back in 2005.
Here is what was updated on her Twitter page:

If you haven't heard that I'm in jail, you know now. Yes it's true. If you like you can write me. my cousin is maintaining my twitter account.

Boy, Boy, Boy....I bet Buckwild is probably losing her mind.
And she just pulled out the tracks in that mugshot. Glue still gunked up and all.

Give her some fan mail:

SMH....Boy, Mariah has really been putting something on Nick because this dude is ticked at Mr. Marshall Mathers for real. On Eminem's track "Bagpipes From Baghdad" from his Relapse album, he raps:

Nick Cannon better back the f**k up. I'm not playing; I want her back, you punk. Nick Cannon, you pr*&k, I wish you luck with that f**kin' wh()re.

WOW....Now that is a little harsh Em...Put hey, it's Eminem. We know that's how he is. He calls it like he sees it. Now, remember, back in the game, Eminem has reportedly confessed that him and Mariah hooked up but she has always denied it. Here's Nick's rebuttal from his blog:

A mediocre (at best) Eminem record that sounds like it was written in 2001. At first, I thought it was old material that had been dug up from when dude 'fantasized' about having a pretend fling with Mariah. ... But all of a sudden I hear my name in the verse! My first reaction was like, 'this is his new s**t? Wow, that's too bad...Maybe I'm going too far, but I thought we got past the days where white men could spew vulgar obscenities at our beautiful queens and get away with it. What's next? Are we going to let this trash say something horrible about our lovely first lady, Mrs. Michelle Obama? Or would Marshall have talked sideways out of his neck like this about Oprah Winfrey? This act of racist bigotry cannot go unnoticed. Calling my wife a 'c**t' and a 'wh()re' is way worse than anything Don Imus could have ever said. So trust, repercussions will be served. Anybody got Al Sharpton's number?!...So, Miss Marshall, I'm going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife. This is going to be fun! It's however you want it! Just remember, you did this to yourself! Your legacy has now been tainted from this day forth! You will now be known as the rapper who lost to corny-ass Nick Cannon!

Nick don' got some extra big balls from somewhere. But seriously, racial bigotry??? Come on now, she ain't even fully black.

Boy, you fellas, must be pretty happy these days. You guys have definitely been getting an eye full lately. Above, are the latest 2 victims of having nudes photos/sex tapes leaked online. FOL Winner Season 1 Hoopz reportely, has a sex tape out with her doing some pretty tricky positions. And Ms. RiRi...At least the photos leaked this time are not of her being badly bruised and swollen.

Click below...
Rihanna || Hoopz

OK, can we get some men release some nude photos or something???

[UPDATE]
So of course, the first person accused of releasing the photos of RiRi was Breezy. His reps released the following statement to Essence:

This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or 'leaked' any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter).

There still hasn't been any word as to whether these are confirmed to be Rihanna or not but her team has already been sending letters to have the pictures removed.
