Shaq-- Movin On By Going Backwards?

Shaq is apparently dipping into his own leftovers as he's reportedly getting it in with ex-Sony music exec Lisa Ellis.  You see, the two used to mess around back when Shaq was a married man.  No shocker there!  So him and his old flame are back at it.


Reports claim that Lisa, the ex girlfriend of Congressman Harold Ford, has been spending a lot of time with Shaq in NYC when he wasn't in basketball ball practice.

According to the Daily News, Lisa Ellis is also the woman who was tied to Wyclef Jean during those recent Yele Haiti embezzlement and jump off accusations. She was part of his management team and was accused of having an affair with Wyclef.  Clearly a woman of virtue.

Love Cakes -- Common Hearts Serena

Looks like love is in the air for Common!  Serena and her good-good got Common talking marriage these days.  He recently appeared on the Ellen Show where he discussed his "evolving" relationship with Serena Williams and how the two have grown closer over the past 2 years.

Check it:
When Ellen DeGeneres asks the Just Wright star if he'll say "I Do" to his tennis pro girlfriend, 28, he says, "I definitely want to get married. I would love to get married and have kids."

Common, 38, (real name: Lonnie Rashied Lynn, Jr.) says his relationship with Williams started out friendly and grew more serious.

"Actually, Serena and I have been close for about two years. It's been evolving," he tells DeGeneres in an episode of her talk show to air Thursday.

He admits he's "emotionally involved" watching Williams on the tennis court.

"I sit there, and I'm just tense... and people try and talk to me, and I tell them to be quiet," he says. "I was sitting next to Richard Branson and I didn't pay attention. I don't care who is there. I'm focused on this tennis match."

FAIL! The Dream Covers Aaliyah's One In A Million Track

This is the first cover I've heard of Aaliyah's since her passing, and I must say I am not impressed.  But I'll let you be the judge:




Yes, it could be worse.  But it could've also been better.

Sneaky-Sneaky -- This Just in! Djimon Hounsou is a CHEATER

So I just got word from one of my homegirls (who will remain anonymous), that as she was walking the streets of New York with our college friend a certain African actor who JUST had a baby with Kimora Lee Simmons tried to holla at her.

Here's the deets:

Two time Academy Award nominee and star of Blockbuster hit Blood Diamond Djimon Hounsou approached "Tiffany" and told her how beautiful she was.  He then proceeded to tell her how he's going to be in LA until the end of May and would like to see her as soon as he gets back to NY.  Hmmm...where ya BABY MAMA at Mr. Hounsou?  You know damn well Kiki don't play that!

Again, men why do yall do this?  You lead a woman to believe that your interested in pursuing a lifetime bond with her, agree to begin a family, and then cheat RIGHT AFTER (sometimes during for those real snakes out there) she has your bundle of joy.

Over & Done.

Video Cakes: Alicia Keys' "Unthinkable (I'm Ready)"

I'm not one for posting videos since I don't watch them, but this is my fav Alicia Keys track.  The video is a def a good look as it centers around racism.  And I have a thing for videos that actually compliment the song.  So, enjoy!

PS:  Chad Michael Murray, her leading man, is kinda cuuuute.

Sad Cakes -- Model Noemie Lenior Attempts Suicide

Model Noemie Lenoir was found unconscious in Paris Sunday afternoon in a park after seemingly taking pills mixed with alcohol.

Reports say Noemie has been involved in a tumultuous on-again/off-again relationship with her ex-boyfriend Claude (pictured), who actually found her unconscious earlier that day. But she came to, and was later found unconscious again.  The 30-year-old, who has a five year-old son, also recently dated Russell Simmons.

The Daily Mail reports:


The 30-year-old, who has become a household name in the UK after spearheading a Marks & Spencer advertising campaign, was found slumped on the floor in a forest in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, on the outskirts of the French capital.

She is believed to have taken a cocktail of alcohol and drugs at the £1m detached home of her on-off boyfriend Claude Makelele, the ex-Chelsea football star who is father to their son, Kelyan, five.

The current Paris St Germain midfielder called emergency services after finding his girlfriend slumped unconscious on the floor, a police source said.

But Lenoir - also the face of campaigns for Next, Gap and Victoria's Secret - woke up minutes later and cancelled the ambulance, it was reported in France.

She then left the house alone in the suburb of La Celle-Saint-Cloud, and was found unconscious again several hours later by a passer-by on the forest footpath.

A man out walking his dog found Ms Lenoir on Sunday afternoon and called the emergency services straight away.

‘After coming to, Noemie was in a state of great distress and clearly very ill,’ said a source close to the model.

‘She had clearly attempted to harm herself and had fallen unconscious.

‘She was rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for the effects of poisoning. It seems that she may have tried to commit suicide as a cry for help. She’s now in a far better condition and recovering.’

Police in Paris confirmed the reports, with a spokesman saying : ‘A young woman aged 30 was found unconscious in La Celle-Saint-Cloud on Sunday afternoon.

'She was rushed to hospital for treatment for the effects of an overdose. She is now recovering well.’

The midfielder, who retired from international football two years ago and this week rejected an offer from French national football coach Raymond Domenech to join France's World Cup squad, had often been linked with other women.

Reportedly, Noemie has been suffering through severe angst because of her new boyfriend, Swiss millionaire Carl Hirschmann, who is involved in a sex, blackmail and extortion scandal with other models.

Ladiessssss...I know we tend to fall in love with the idea of BEING in love, but please do not let that relationship consume you to the point where you've lost yourself.  It's sad to see such a beautiful, successful young woman want to end her own life at the height of her career, and leave behind her son, for a MAN?  I know love is a powerful thing, but so is the love that you have for yourself.  In cases like this, a woman has far surpassed love and has entered into the dark realm of obession.  Women need to remember to be your own #1.  EFF MEN!

Two of Rap's Heavy Hitters Join for Yankee Stadium Performance

Mr. I-Can-Make-a-Yankees-Hat-More-Famous-Than-a-Yankee-Can will be the first person to perform a full concert at the new Yankee Stadium.

It was just announced at tonight's Detroit vs. New York baseball game at Detroit's Comerica Park that Jay-Z and Eminem will perform a double-header concert at Yankee stadium on September 13th.

“We are thrilled that two of today’s most exciting music artists will headline the first-ever concert at Yankee Stadium,” said Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost. “Yankee Stadium was built with this kind of mega-event in mind. It will undoubtedly be a memorable occasion for music fans around the world."

Seeing these two together replays one of my fav songs, "Renegade."  Hope they perform it! 

PS:  I thought Em killed it on the track.  Like, Jay shouldn't have even been on it.  Just my opinon. Shhhh...

Destiny's Child Reunion with ORIGINAL members?

The rumors are swirling that every member from Destiny's Child, past and present, will be reunited one last time to perform their swan song.  WTF is a swan song? Anyways, Beyonce is reportedly still working on the best "mature" song/sound for the group. Still having those control issues I see, Mrs. Carter? 

And the only person they are worried about carrying out the reunion is Farrah.  Allegedy Farrah had always had issues with being on time and making performances.  Did anyone else peep her on Millionaire Matchmaker?

Reportedly, Mathew Knowles is hoping that LeToya can entice LaTavia to join in as well. According to the site, LaTavia has put her "tell all" book on hold as to not jeopardize the reunion.

All I want is for there to be some poppin off all up and through this reunion.  I'm sure not all the beef is settled.  To be honest, I highly doubt this ish is even gonna happen. 

Lost Rapper Files -- Foxy Brown and Her Weave Hit Up "The Monique Show"

After years of being MIA, Foxy Brown decides to pop up with the longest weave EVER IN THE HISTORY OF TIME, and a huge pair of breasts, to visit the Monique Show.  There she discussed choosing the name Foxy Brown (Pam Grier was there as well), and her past medical issue that left her completely deaf. 




Question: Why was everyone crying?

Baller Cakes -- It Takes Two Baby

Today we get a double scoop of chocolate as Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson was spotted walking the streets of LA to film a reality show.  He strolled down the street with Terrell Owens and Kita in West Hollywood while T.O. shot for the new season of "The T.O. Show." Stay tuned for more dating show foolishness as Chad will be starring in his own reality show about finding love.  Damn you Flavor Flav!

They look alike to me, sorry.

LOL @  finding a ticket on your car.

Is That Your Chick -- Flo Rida + Stripper?

Brandy's boo Flo Rida is gettin it in with some stripper chick (strippers seem to be all the craze these days) while out in Miami.

The culprit is Laeann Amos who is a stripper for the Miami's King Of Diamonds Gentlemen Club and a TV host for the local Miami TV show Access Vibe.

Sources say that Flo Rida only likes to shoot with Laeann because that's who he feels the most "comfortable" with.  MY ASS.  And in true man style, although he spends a lot of time with Laeann, he makes sure to spend all of his time with Brandy whenever she's in town.  How sweet.

Men -- why do you insist on being involved with any woman when the truth is you're still ok with banging strippers?  Oh let me correct myself, you're still ok with banging other women?  Just be real, say you love the va-jay-jay (and a variety of va-jay-jay) too much to settle down with just one.  And why oh why would u even want hiney that is used and abused?  Come on son, STDs are REAL. 

And how the EFF do u go from goody-goody Brandy to a STRIPPER?

*SMDH*

Interview Cakes -- Jay-Z Talks Kanye and MTV Awards

Jay-Z dishes on his feelings towards Kanye and his take on the MTV Awards drama in the new February issue of Interview magazine.  Peep this preview:

MITCHELL: What’s it like when you talk to Kanye West now? How are things different between you guys from what they were like when you first spotted him and he was producing for you?

JAY-Z: Well, he’s really more of a peer now. You know, before, he was more a new guy trying to get on—a fan of the music that I’ve made and my lifestyle—so things were a little different. But he’s an extraordinary person. He has these ideas and these things that he wants to do and places he wants to go, and he’s really passionate about them. He’s very sincere.

MITCHELL: Sometimes his passions ruin him.

JAY-Z: Yeah, which is great. I like that, man! I really do. I mean, no one’s walking around here perfect. Everyone’s gonna make mistakes. That’s part of how you learn. I think Kanye . . . Well, I know he said what he believed. He was telling the truth.

MITCHELL: To which event are you referring?

JAY-Z: I’m talking about the Taylor Swift thing. I just think the timing of what he did was wrong, and that, of course, overshadowed everything. He believed that “Single Ladies” [by Jay-Z’s wife, Beyoncé] was a better video. I believed that. I think a lot of people believed that. You can’t give someone Video of the Year if they don’t win Best Female Video. I thought Best Female Video was something you won on the way to Video of the Year. But, hey, I guess it wasn’t—and that’s a whole other conversation about awards shows and artists.

MITCHELL: You seem to stay away from that awards show stuff for the most part.

JAY-Z: Yeah, because it ain’t about nothing. It’s cool. It’s acknowledgment. The fans get to see you, and you can do great by your record if you have a great performance or a great night there. That’s all part of the business. But at their core, awards shows are not really a sincere thing. You know, for a lot of years, the artists had to pay to play their own set.

MITCHELL: No kidding!

JAY-Z: Yes. That was the worst scam ever. I couldn’t even believe it. I mean, just now they’re starting to pay for half the sets and some awards shows pay for the whole thing. But this is just happening now—and it’s only because the record companies ran out of money.

MITCHELL: You’ve always had interesting takes on awards shows. I remember back in the day, you talked about the Grammys and said, “Well, they don’t take rap seriously, so why should I go? They don’t know what we do—and they don’t care about what we do.”

JAY-Z: It’s just honest, man—they really didn’t. I’ve always seen awards shows for what they are. For the awards show people, it’s about sponsorships—it’s not about recognizing anyone’sart, because if you get into the business of recognizing art, then you have to get it right all the time. You have to get it right. You can’t have the woman who wins Video of the Year not win Best Female Video. I mean, Herbie Hancock is great, but you can’t have him beat the Kanye album that year. I mean, come on, seriously. That can’t happen. That just lets me know that the people who get to pick these ballots just check the only name they know. I think that’s what’s happening with rap music now.

MITCHELL: Yeah?

JAY-Z: I think it’s a bunch of people who don’t know anything about rap, and have probably never even heard a Kanye West album, are doing the nominating, and they say, “Kanye West. I know that name. That’s the guy who made the comments about the president that time! He’s nominated!” That’s how the process works, and I think that’s part of Kanye’s frustration. Me, I look at it for what it is. But Kanye is so passionate about it. I mean, the guy shot three “Jesus Walks” videos. Three. Two of them he shot with his own money just so he could get it right. He really cares about it. And then, back to the original point, his passion kicks in and he takes things too far . . . He doesn’t realize that that girl, Taylor Swift, is just like him. That was her moment. It wasn’t her fault. She didn’t do anything. It’s not her awards show. So he just did the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time.

MITCHELL: Did he call you that night? Did you guys talk about what happened right away?

JAY-Z: We actually had to fly out because we were doing Leno the next day, and he called and said he wasn’t getting on the plane. I knew he didn’t want to have the conversation yet. It’s more of a big brother relationship with me and him. But he came the next day, and we spoke in the dressing room. We had a nice, long talk. I think he did the right thing to face it and just move on. I say this all the time, but I think, at the end of the day, we’re gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him.

I honestly thought the same EXACT thing. Now I'm no huge Beyonce fan, but how the hell do you win Best Video of the Year without winning Best Female Video?  It's like saying, "No little girl, you didn't have the best video by a woman, but you did however have the best video THIS WHOLE YEAR!"  Ummm...did I miss something?  Don't you have to have the best female video before having the best video in 09?  Hmmm...something seems shadyyyy...

Preggers Cake -- Christina Milian Froliking

The uber cute (and age-defying) Christina Milian-Nash was out doing her thing yet looking oh so pregnant.  I believe she's about 8 months now.  And wow @ those legs! She said at her baby shower about being nervous about labor:

“I am nervous about giving birth to the baby. That’s probably the most nerve-wracking part of it all. Every day I wonder, ‘What happens if she comes earlier than expected?’ But as long as Dream is right next to me, I’ll be fine.”

I hear epidurals are a gift from GOD!

Interview Cake -- Rihanna Says Chris Was Controlling

As we creep up to the one year anniversary of the Chris + Rihanna scandal, more tidbits arise regarding the details of their relationship.  Rihanna spoke with the W Magazine for their February issue stating:  


“There were control issues, insecurity. When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”


Rihanna said she found solace in her music when she wrote about the incident: 

“I started to go crazy after about a month in the house, so I went back to work, and the mic was my therapist,” she explained.

“With the mic, there were no negative comments, no negative energy. At first I completely shut down. But now I feel like this happened to me so I could be a voice for young girls who are going through what I went through and don’t know how to talk about it. It’s not about Chris, about hurting him or sabotaging his career. I don’t care about that part of it.”

On why she stayed away from friends and family immediately after the attack:

“It’s like they are too close to you. When you have to talk about something so painful, they are going to get too emotional. And that wasn’t helping me, because I already felt the same way and I’m looking to not feel like this. I felt like, If I’m going to tell you something and you’re going to have pity for me, then I’m not going to talk to you,” she said.

I do see these two moving on, dating other people, and working on their careers, so hopefully she will finally be able to leave that dark night in the past.  As for Chris, what he did was dead wrong, but a part of me wishes the public would forgive him.  But then I look at that picture of Rihanna beaten, and all my sympathy vanishes.  Either way, I wish them both the best.

POP OFF SON! Kelis Gets At PETA

I almost wasn't going to post this simply because I'm not much of a Kelis fan, but when I read the letter she wrote to PETA, I almost fell out my chair laughing.  Mainly because it seems we have the same sense of humor and sarcasm.  I like her a little bit more now.  Anyways, here's the juice:


After Kelis rocked this animal-friendly outfit, PETA got in her ass via a personal letter.  Now Kelis never struck me as the type to sit idle while someone pops off on her, and boy was I right.  She went straight to typing and got right back in their asses (pause) in much the same fashion I would.  Peep it:


Good morning all!

Ok, so you’re gonna love this. The other day I got a personalized letter from PETA! Lol so after some thought I’ve decided to write one back. Goes a little something like this:

There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research……. I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot! Beyond the fact that I think she’s a diabetic, which means she needs insulin, which is taken from lab pigs (I know this because my sister happens to be in veterinary school), which would be completely hypocritical. It’s like don’t abuse animals unless it can help me.

I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.

If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. (Which btw for the record I would not – I do believe in the preservation of endangered species) But the minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if weren’t in the form of a coat I would demand they be put to death anyway are not an issue to me.

The death of high fashion. Ugh.

I eat meat, and in fact my mouth salivates as I type the word meat! And the paint throwing that’s just ridiculous! What if I was hurling Loubitons and Pierre Hardy’s at every sad poorly dressed person on the street? As right as I may be it’s just fanatical and crazy. And people have the right to feel as they please. What about art? Survival of the fittest. Natural selection? No let’s just let all the rodents run free and over take our cities. Oh wait they have, NY and LA in particular are infested! Why don’t u save them all from scavenging on the streets and ruining my evening strolls, take them home. Make them pets! Get off my back! Pun intended!

Underpaid minorities picking your vegetables, now that’s fine for you right? Please, fight for their rights. How about the poverty in the communities of brown people around the world. She had the nerve to say (and I quote) “get over it” talking of the issue of black people and slavery in this country verses cows being slaughtered. Is she kidding me? Lol yes she must be. Actually, she’s lucky most black people have real issues to worry about in the U.S and don’t give a crap what her delusional privileged opinions are. But she should try saying that again just for kicks n giggles on the corner of Adam Clayton Powell Blvd in Harlem n see how well people “get over it” lol.

If u want to preach do it about something worthwhile don’t waste my time trying to save the dang chipmunk.

Find a worthwhile cause like the women being maimed in these Middle Eastern countries. Or female circumcision. Or women’s rights here in America, we still get paid less for doing the same jobs as men. Quite honestly if you hate the world so much go live in the forest where no one else has to hear you complain about the perfectly good food chain the good Lord created. Everyone has the right to an opinion, and that’s mine on that! xoxo

 Effin hilarious.  Although I do not condone wearing real fur.  Still funny as hell though.

Jail Cakes -- Gilbert Arenas Cops a FELONY

So Mr. Guns-Are-Fun Gilbert Arenas just got charged with felony gun possession after “joking around” with 4 of his handguns in the Wizards locker room with teammate Javaris Crittenton.  CBS Sports reports:

Prosecutors charged Arenas with one count of carrying a pistol without a license, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The charges were filed in D.C. Superior Court in an “information,” a document that often signals a plea deal.

Arenas’ lawyer and the Wizards had no immediate comment.

Arenas, who has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA pending the investigation, has said he kept multiple guns in his locker at the Verizon Center. The three-time NBA All-Star said he wanted to keep them away from his children and didn’t know what he was doing is illegal.

He says he took them out of the locker on Dec. 21 in a “misguided effort to play a joke” on a teammate.

League officials have said the locker room incident stemmed from a card-game dispute between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton on a plane trip two days earlier. At least seven Wizards players and coach Flip Saunders have appeared before a grand jury or been questioned by authorities.

Earlier Thursday, police searched for a gun at Crittenton’s apartment in Virginia but did not seize any evidence, according to court documents. It’s unclear what role Crittenton played in the incident and whether he had a gun. He has kept a low profile and has said he did nothing wrong.

This comes after being suspended indefinitely from the Wizards and watching his $111 million contract drift away into the sunset. Still laughing now Gilby? It's not funny when it's YOUR money, now is it?  

Ok but really, I don't think sending him to jail is really necessary.  I'm sure he's learned his lesson by being completely embarrassed, kicked out of the Wizards AND losing millions of dollars.  It's not like he hurt anyone, damn.  I kinda feel that way about Plaxico when he got sent off after shooting his damn self.  Some things are just punishment enough without even including jail time.  Just my opinion.
