Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Kat Stacks visited RHOA's Kandi Burruss' Ustream show Kandi Coated Nights last night and FreddyO was there to snap some flicks of the drama queen. On the show, she talked about the road she has traveled to get to where she is now. Blah, blah, blah. I'm gonna keep this short cause I'm pretty much done with this chick but I'm a blogger so I write about people making a buzz. Anywho, this chick needs to slow down because she's looking about 20 years her senior. I guess talking sh*t has aged her....amongst other things.

R.I.P. NBA Player Lorenzen Wright

Former Cleveland Caveliers player Lorenzen Wright, who had been missing for 10 days, was found dead in Southeast Memphis. His body was discovered near a wooded area just outside of the city. Wright had been missing since July 19th when he was expected to fly back to Atlanta after visiting his six children in Memphis.

He was last seen leaving his ex-wife's home at 2am on July 19th. The Memphis Commercial says a police dispatcher received a 911 call from Wright's cellphone the day he disappeared. The dispatcher heard several gunshots in the background before the call abruptly ended. No one answered when he returned the call.

Friends and family have gathered in Memphis to grieve Wright, who spent 13 seasons in the NBA playing for teams like the Cavaliers, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Atlanta Hawks. His uncle, Curtis Wright, says he had to call the retired NBA player's father to tell him the sad news. "Lorenzen's family has come together to mourn his loss and honor his legacy. We appreciate your thoughts, prayers and condolences as they are comforting at this very difficult time," read a family statement.

Nicki Minaj Explains Death Scene In "Your Love" Video

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

When Nicki Minaj's video for "Your Love" premiered last week, many people (including myself) wondered why she would have HERSELF killed in the end. Well, Nicki spoke to MTV (as she was tapping a promo for the 2010 MTV Musis Awards dressed as Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz) and explained the whole death scene. Peep how Nicki starts talking in a British accent. 


“I just felt like that was the most emotional and truthful storyline,” Minaj explained.
 

Cover Fab: Diddy And Bad Boy Fam Cover VIBE, Trina Covers Rolling Out Magazine

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Diddy is on the cover of VIBE Magazine's Aug/Sept 2010 issue along with Rick Ross and Janelle Monae.....dressed in all black like the omen. This is a part of a double cover which also features Dr. Dre and Eminem. On the flip side of the Diddy cover are Cassie, Dirty Money and Red Cafe. In the 15th Anniversary Juice issue, Diddy talks about regrettable interviews, Lil Kim vs. Nicki Minaj, regaining respect and more. 
Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.”  I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.

Meanwhile, Trina gets sexy on 'em for the upcoming Rolling Out Magazine cover. The issue comes out this week and inside she reveals that she believes men should always pay for the first date and a woman must be able to cook, cater and look good for her man.  She also reveals that her ideal wedding would take place on an exotic island with Beyonce singing. Really now?

Breaking News! 14-Year Old Did Not Kill Family, Deranged Mother Was Culprit

Last week I made a post on 14-year old C.J. Romey who was suspected of slashing the throats of his siblings and then setting his Staten Island home ablaze, killing his 2 young sisters, brother and mother. Now reports are telling a COMPLETELY different story......that the mother, Leisa Jones, killed her own children. Autopsy reports prove she committed this heinous massacre, according to NY Post.
The horrific murder-suicide that ended in an arson on Staten Island was committed by the deranged mom, who slit three of her kids' throats before she killed herself and her baby in the blaze, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.

Cops had at first suspected Leisa Jones' oldest child, 14-year-old son C.J. Romoy, of the heinous act. 

But autopsy results now show that neither he nor his two sisters, ages 7 and 10, suffered any smoke inhalation, meaning they were dead before the fire was set in their Nicholas Avenue home, the sources said. 

All three children were found with their throats slashed by an old-fashioned barber's straight razor, sources said.

Meanwhile, Jones and her youngest son, Jermaine, 2, both died from smoke inhalation, sources said -- leaving investigators with conclusive proof that the unbalanced mother murdered her three older children first, then set the blaze, trapping herself and her baby. 
 
Both Jones and C.J. still had undigested pills in their stomachs, a source said. Some investigators speculated that this was because she may have needed to drug the teen before she could kill him, and then took pills herself. Sources could not identify the drugs. 

Cops yesterday confirmed that a singed note found amid the debris with the words "am sorry" was written by the mother, as The Post reported yesterday. 

The deeply disturbed Jones had allegedly told a pal several months ago that she thought about killing the kids and torching the house. 

C.J.'s dad, Earlston Raymond, said the friend told him Jones told her: "At times, I feel like killing the kids and burning the house down and killing myself." 

"[Jones] made that statement to more than one person," said the distraught dad, who lives in Jamaica and added that he learned of his ex's threats only after the tragedy. 

Jones and her children moved to Staten Island several years ago from Washington, DC. Raymond described his ex as hot-tempered and filled with negative thoughts. He said she was trying to sour the relationship between him and his son. 

"I'm sorry I signed the paper to send C.J. back to Washington," Raymond said, adding that he never believed his son committed the gruesome crime. 

The bodies of Jones, 30, and her children were found Thursday after the 4 a.m. fire. Investigators had originally set their sights on CJ because he was known around the neighborhood for his bad habit of playing with fire.
THIS TRULY BREAKS MY HEART! THOSE POOR KIDS.

Foxy Brown is busting out........literally. The raunchy rapper did a rare performance (with Fendi bag in tow) at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in NYC yesterday (July 25) and lets just say she shoulda asked SOMEBODY. She rocked the mic wearing a smedium one-piece and it was just not a good look for her. Nevertheless, she performed some of her throwbacks including "Get You Home", "Hot Spot" and "Oh Yeah" with her special guest Spragga Benz. Cormega and AZ were also in the building and hit the stage. Just last week, Foxy aka Inga Marchand was arrested for allegedly violating a protection order.

.....she is NOT doin' another woman's man and keep her child's name out your damn mouth. MediaTakeOut (whose known for making up stories for page hits) made accusations of Lauren London stealing 23-year old football player Orlando Scandrick (who plays for the Dallas Cowboys) away from his fiancé AND that she accompanied him from Las Vegas to Atlanta with her son in tow. She took to her twitter page to clear things up because she is NOT playing games when it comes to her son Cameron, who she had with rapper Lil Wayne.

She also added, "Just had to clear that up. I usually ignore rumors but that one is just crazy and completely false." 
 

Aubrey O'Day Keeps It Real, Talks Life After Danity Kane


Many think Aubrey O'Day was just the wild child of Danity Kane, but to me she was the realest in the group. Danity Kane has been done for a while now, but the 26-year old recently spoke with Global Grind about life after success in the Bad Boy platinum-selling group.
 On Diddy and Making The Band:
"I never realized how much Diddy and that entire Making The Band situation shielded us from and took care of  us. I mean I had no idea what was going on until I had to step out there on my own with nobody protecting me. It is a whole other ball game. I mean we had everything handed to us in that situation and we really mostly could focus on our talent and focus on the enjoyment of what we were doing even though [Danity Kane] still found ways to not do that."

 On The Hard Days:
"I’m never going to front like there has never been hard days, there have been many hard days and I think for anyone in this industry there’s ups and there’s downs. I just quoted one of Jay-Z’s songs the other day, the Hollywood song. It said something like the only thing that matters in the industry is where you’re sitting when it stops and there’s a lot of reality to that. And not even just in like a physical way, but in a mental way. You really have to be able to handle the ups and the downs and you have to be able to get yourself right." 

On Life After Getting Fired: 
"Until you’ve hustled on your own or been completely on your own... I don have an agent, I don’t have a manager, I don’t have a publicist, I don’t have any of that. I’ve done everything since being fired on my own. You know, like I said. I do it on my hardest days for the fans. There are people out there that grind every day. There are single moms out there that have two kids that are trying to figure out how to put food on the table every night. My struggle is no different than anyone else’s struggle and I’m lucky enough to be enough of a public figure to have a forum to where people listen to what I have to say and if anything, at the hardest point I want my message to be keep going, keep fighting."

On Having Regrets And Thinking It Was Over For Her:  
"For so many interviews in my career I always said no I have no regrets, you know everything is all good you’ve got to learn from your mistakes and blah blah blah. Everyone has regrets there are things that everybody wishes they could have done different or understand what they understands now, it’s just a part of life but you find a place where you’re happy with the decisions you’ve made and you’re happy with where you’re at and you know it’s just one big lesson learned. And did I ever think it was all over, yeah I had my moments where I really was fighting for every last inch."

Tragic! 14-Year Old Kills Family, Then Kills Himself

(C.J. Jones, 14 (top-left) slashed and killed his siblings -- Brittany, 10, Jermaine, 2 and Melanie, 7)

According to NY Daily News:
The fire that killed a Staten Island mother and her four children is now being investigated as a possible murder-suicide - and detectives believe a 14-year-old boy may be the culprit, police sources said Thursday.

Investigators believe troubled C.J. Jones slashed the throats of at least two of his younger siblings, sliced his own throat and set fire to his family's apartment.

C.J. was found in the back bedroom of the modest Port Richmond apartment, a straight-edge razor lodged under his body, the sources said.

Though flames ravaged the home and badly burned the corpses inside, two of C.J.'s siblings - Brittany, 10, and Melony, 7 - also had their throats cut, the sources said.

The dead girls were found in the charred living room near their brother, 2-year-old Jermaine (who later died at a nearby hospital), and the body of the children's mother, Leisha Jones.

The three-alarm blaze tore through the second-floor Nicholas Ave. home at 4:15 a.m. and firefighters fought through a wall of flame to find the bodies, officials said.

Investigators now believe the fire was set just inside the front door, possibly to prevent rescuers from entering the home, sources said.

Before learning he was the leading suspect in the fatal fire, neighbors raved at how C.J. took care of his younger siblings.

"[He was] the man of the house," said friend Chandra Frankin, 29. "He took care of his sisters like a dad."

Divorce, Than Baby? That Was The Case For The Dream & Christina Milian


So the media went apesh*t over the separation of Christina Milian and Terius "The Dream" Nash. Perhaps more so because of the pics that floated the net of him and another woman cuddling on the beach.....or the fact that it was so short lived. Anywho, TMZ has reported that The Dream filed for divorce before C-Mili gave birth to their child:
TMZ has learned Christina Milian's husband -- The-Dream -- filed for divorce nine days before she gave birth to their only child.

According to documents filed in Georgia and obtained by TMZ, The-Dream -- aka Terius Nash -- claims the marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The-Dream filed his papers on February 17, but the docs never surfaced until we found out.

Milian gave birth to their only child, a daughter, on February 26.

In the divorce docs, The-Dream declares, "There is no hope for reconciliation."

How bout you just stay away from women period, Terius....cause you can't get relationships right if they paid you.

It's all about holdin' each other down in this video that follows a couple's loyalty through the good and bad times. The song "Got Your Back" is the single from T.I.'s latest project King Uncaged , which hits stores September 28th and features Miss Keri Baby on the hook. Keri Hilson's dancing annoys me. But anyway this song grew on me because I can definitely relate. T.I's real ride or die, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle makes a cameo at the end. Lance Gross and "Girlfriends" Jill Marie Jones also star in the video. "I got, I got, I got, I got yo back boy."

She kept the jewelry at a minimal, accentuated the jumpsuit with a black belt, the black pumps are hawt and the red hair is growing on me. Style Jury, what do you think?
