Coco And Ice-T Celebrate Her B-Day Together Despite Rumors

coco ice

Ice-T is standing by his woman, even as the couple has been hit with new rumors of infidelity on her part.

Via Page Six:
Despite rumors of marital trouble, Ice-T played doting husband to wife Coco at her birthday party at Greenhouse Thursday night. The rapper and “Law & Order: SVU” star entertained the beauty and 50 friends with his rap hits, including “New Jack Hustler” from ’80s flick “New Jack City.” Coco received a pink cake, pink cupcakes and bottles of Ciroc Coconut. Coco recently cozied up to rapper AP.9 in some racy photos, but she apologized, and she and Ice-T stayed together.
Sounds like they’re sticking through thick and thin. Isn’t that what matrimony-dom is all about?
Greenhouse wasn’t Coco’s only b-day party either. Ice-T also surprised Coco Sunday with a party at Gordon Ramsey’s BurGR at Planet Hollywood in Vegas. Guests included Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees and the cast of “Peepshow,” the Vegas show Coco is currently starring in.

President Quotes Beyonce in Vogue

president & wife

In the April issue of Vogue Magazine President Barack Obama says his wife Michelle upgraded him like the Beyonce song...

From Vogue Magazine
“Now, in fairness,” says the president, “there is one thing that’s changed.” The First Lady looks at him. “What’s that?”
“Which is, I used to only have, like, two suits,” he says.
Now you must have dozens, I say.
“Thank God,” she says. “Now, let me tell you: This is the man who still boasts about, This khaki pair of pants I’ve had since I was 20.”
The president throws his head back, laughing.
“And I’m like, ‘You don’t want to brag about that.’ ”
Jay Carney and the young staffers from the White House press office, who are all sitting on a sofa on the other side of the room, crack up.
“Michelle’s like BeyoncĂ© in that song,” says the president. “ ‘Let me upgrade ya!’ She upgraded me.”

Lil Wayne Hospitalized — Rapper In Coma In ICU After More Seizures




Lil Wayne is back in the hospital on Mar. 15 and things are looking dire for the 30-year-old rapper. He’s reportedly in the ICU in critical condition after suffering another seizure. The rapper had already been admitted to the hospital for seizures once this week, on Mar. 12, but was released the following day.

Lil Wayne Found Unconscious, Rushed To Hospital

TMZ reports that just hours after Lil Wayne was released from the hospital on Mar. 13, one of his bodyguards found him in his room, unconscious on the floor. He was then rushed to the hospital again, but unlike other time, he did not stabilize.
He was taken to the ICU, where he was reportedly placed in restraints because he was uncontrollably shaking. According to TMZ, he is currently “unstable” and has been placed in a medically-induced coma, breathing through tubes.
The scene in Lil Wayne’s room is reportedly a grim one, with several people crying at his bedside. A number of rap artists and family members are said to be on the way. TMZ’s sources say that it’s quite violent, as the rapper shakes uncontrollably.
The rapper’s mother is reportedly flying to Los Angeles, and all major decisions on his health, including the decision to stop life support, will be made once she arrives.

Lil Wayne: Sizzurp Binge To Blame For Seizures?

Sources further allege that Lil Wayne may have gone on a Sizzurp binge after being released from the hospital on Mar. 13, as doctors have reportedly found high amounts of codeine in his system. It’s reported that his stomach was pumped three times to remove the drugs from his system.
As previously reported, Wayne had been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Mar. 12 after suffering what appeared to be multiple seizures. He was released just a few hours later, early in the morning of Mar. 13.
Wayne had also previously ben hospitalized on Oct. 25, 2012, after experiencing “seizure-like symptoms”
Our thoughts are with Lil Wayne and his family and friends during this time.

Then Nicki told Curtis, 'If you leave, I leave.' After Curtis was eliminated, Nicki got up from the judges table and walked around in a circle before grudgingly sitting back down.

Ne-Yo Sued Over ‘Behind The Music’ Statements

Ne-yo LA

R&B singer Ne-Yo continues to be haunted by remarks that he made on VH1′s Behind The Music. It was on the show that the star claimed ex-girlfriend Jessica White tricked him into thinking that he was the father of her child. White is now suing Ne-Yo for suggesting that she bilked him of “ungodly amounts of money” and is an “unchaste woman.”

After the initial VH1 program aired, Ne-Yo took to twitter to soften the blow of his remarks, writing:
“I need it to be known that the purpose of my BEHIND THE MUSIC wasn’t to bash Jessica White. We were young, mistakes were made. I FORGAVE,” says Ne-Yo. “Holding grudges messes with your blessings. I do not hate Jessica White. I wish her and lil’ Chimere all the best wherever they are. LOVE.”

Despite those efforts, White claims her reputation was damaged by Ne-Yo’s comments. .
She argues that she did not try to defraud the singer, and that Ne-Yo’s statements on the VH1 program has led to her being called derogatory names; she also claims that her career as a photographer and graphic designer has suffered because of the remarks.

White is suing for unspecified damages.

Gaye Family Want Jesse L. Martin to Step Down

Jesse Marvin

Last week it was revealed that Lenny Kravitz was no longer attached to an upcoming Marvin Gaye bio-pic, and now the Gaye family is hoping the new star, Jesse L. Martin will also pass on the opportunity...
From The NY Daily News
“I don’t think Marvin is a very happy spirit right now,” says Janis, who was married to the singer from 1977-1981 and claims they remained off and on until seven months before his 1984 death. “This is the last thing he would want to have happen.”
According to Janis, both the play “My Brother Marvin” and the upcoming Julien Temple film, “Sexual Healing,” will focus on the final years of Marvin’s life, which were plagued by depression and drug abuse. She’s especially bothered by the play, which allegedly presents Janis in a negative light.
“I haven’t read the script, but it’s supposed to be based on (sister Zeola Gaye’s) book and I did read the book from cover to cover, and it was very difficult to read,” she tells Confidenti@l. She called it sensational and questioned its accuracy. “Some of the characterizations, like saying Marvin’s father killing him was a ‘mercy killing,’ you can only imagine how that makes the kids feel,” she says, referring to her and Marvin’s 38-year-old daughter, Nona, and 37-year-old son, Frankie. “It makes me feel bad enough.”
Janis admits Marvin’s final years were dark.
“It wasn’t always the greatest, but it was tough times for him and for everyone,” she admits.
Janis also tells us she’s “disappointed” that “Sexual Healing” may soon start filming with Jesse L. Martin in the lead role, but she’s thankful to Lenny Kravitz, who was slated to play that part before stepping down last week. “Ultimately, I think it was Lenny’s heart and soul and conscience that caused him to step away,” she says. “Hopefully, that touches Jesse in the same way.”

Dr. Dre Gets $60 Mil To Start His Own Music Service

Dr Dre

Looks like Dr. Dre is gunning for the top spot again this year! Forbes highest paid rapper of 2012 has just inked a deal for a new project that will have him watching the money pile up (again)!

The project, called “Daisy” is a streaming music service that was once a part of Beats electronics (creator of the coveted Beats By Dre headphones). Ironically enough, Dre’s 2012 fortune was largely due to his Beats by Dre headphone sales. Now Dre and his Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine, have received a $60 million dollar investment to launch Daisy as a separate standalone service from Beats.
Which means two things: 1) Pretty soon, Dr. Dre will have his own version of Pandora or Spotify, and 2) He could possibly be doubling his 2012 income this year!

According a written release from Beats, Dre and Iovine are set to launch Daisy in “late 2013.” The two have hired Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor to be the Chief Creative Officer, and Topspin media founder Ian Rogers to be the company’s CEO.

When it launches, will you make the switch to Daisy later on this year?

Lil’ Kim Sues Lawyer For $1 Million

Lil' Kim wears a lil' black lycra catsuit to dinner at Katsuya restaurant in West Hollywood

Lil’ Kim claims in a new lawsuit that she’s been cheated out of $1 million in endorsement deals by her lawyer and business partner, Sunny Barkats, and his associate, Andrew Ro.

According to reports, the rapper is suing Bakrats for $1 million on the grounds that he promised her multimillion dollar deals for brands in the alcohol, cosmetic and perfume businesses.

In the suit, which was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on March 8, Lil Kim claims Bakrats and Ro cheated her out of “valuable trademark and branding rights” while somehow usurping 44-percent control of a corporation started to license the perfume, cosmetic and alcohol brands.

Barkat released a statement calling the suit “another frivolous attempt by Lil’ Kim and her attorneys to get out of what is otherwise a binding agreement.”

That being said, would you endorse a makeup and perfume line that Lil’ Kim was associated with? We’re not sure what your answer is, but we know what ours is.

Beyonce Is A Grandma

solo & Beyonce
A lot of celebrity rumors are bogus, but recent reports that Beyonce is Solange’s mom – not sister – is absolutely LUDICROUS.
According to an online report, Beyonce gave birth to Solange when she was 14. The report also claims that B was not born in 1981, but rather 1974, meaning she’s not 31.
According to BuzzFeed, Beyonce’s cousin Ang told a source the truth. “Bee’s cousin told me Beyonce’s daughter is Solange, and she said it to me in confidence after the topic of teenage pregnancy came up,” the source shared. “Mark my words, one day the truth will be told. Solange is 22 and Beyonce is 36, that is a 14 year age difference,” she stated.
Ok, now none of the math is adding up. If Beyonce was born in 1974, she would be 38 or 39, not 36.
And if this rumor was true, which we’re sure it isn’t, it would mean that Beyonce is a grandma, Solange is Jay-Z’s step daughter, and Blue Ivy is an aunt.

Beanie Sigel Responds To Sentencing

beanie16x9
Beanie Sigel was sentenced to six to 23 months in jail after pleading guilty to narcotics possession. To anyone else, this would be an unfortunate event, but a rep for Sigel tells HipHollywood exclusively that it’s actually “good news”.
“Although most other news sources ran this story on Sigel’s birthday as if it were bad news, it is in fact good news,” Sigel’s rep explains. ”Beanie beat the gun case and was sentenced to six to 23 months. This sentence will run concurrent with his federal sentence. We expect an early release. This is actually good news.”
Beanie was already sentenced to two years in prison July of 2012 for federal tax evasion, after failing to file federal income tax returns from 2009 – 2012.
When asked how Beanie is holding up while being locked away since last August, the rep replied, ”Beans could be home before his birthday next year, he’s in good health, and he will finally be clear to focus on his career.”
According to his team, once released, Beanie’s career focus will be to finish a much anticipated album collaboration with Scarface, Mac and Brad.

Rihanna Misses Her Own Fashion Show

riri fashion

Rihanna barely makes an appearance at her own fashion show and skips the after party altogether...=

From The Sun
RIHANNA would have been paid a fortune to design her first fashion collection.
But the singer only showed her face for ten seconds at the River Island catwalk show before disappearing into a Winnebago backstage for a tear-up with supermodel pals.
She left the London Fashion Week crowd waiting almost an hour for the event to start.
Then she couldn’t be bothered to attend the after party — even though her dressing room was just metres away.
The star requested a Winnebago as part of the rider at her Saturday night catwalk show.
The van was parked backstage at the do — held at The Old Sorting Office in Central London — and event staff weren’t allowed within 50ft.
But not everyone was a fan of her collection — Rihanna got a cut to the leg after later stumbling out of a nightclub when a passerby chucked a Lucozade bottle at her.
Before the incident she’d spent most of the day holed up in the luxury motorhome, which was decked out with expensive candles, junk food and thousands of pounds of booze.
The fashion company did such a good job of kitting out the vehicle that Rihanna left it for less than a minute to take a bow at the show’s finale.
A source said: “She kept everyone waiting for a whole hour for the fashion show to start and only made the briefest appearance at the end. If you’d blinked, you’d have missed her.
“Everybody was expecting her to at least show her face for a few minutes at the after party, but she clearly couldn’t be bothered.”

Alicia Keys Says Jay-Z Didn’t Like Her Son Egypt Kissing Blue Ivy

Alicia-Keys-Visits-The-Wendy-Williams-Show-4

During an appearance on Wendy Williams yesterday Alicia was asked if she ever takes her son Egypt to hang out with Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy. In her response, Alicia replied that the two privileged tykes have indeed spent some play time together, but based on a story she told Egpyt and Blue becoming BFFs might not be in the cards:
Egypt kissed Blue, and I don’t think Jay liked it very much,” she said. “He called my husband and he was like, ‘Watch your son.’”
Hov is keepin’ a close eye on his daughter, he must know that his shady womanizing past is coming back to haunt him at some point. Looks like Bey gave birth to your karma Mr. Carter!

Mary J. Blige Facing Eviction?

mjb

Mary J. Blige's money woes just keep getting bigger. First Mary defaulted on $250,000 in loans earmarked for her charity, then she was sued by Signature bank for defaulting on $2 million in personal loans, followed by an identical suit from Bank of America after she defaulted on another $2 million personal loan. Now comes news Mary is having trouble paying her rent...
From NY Daily News
Here’s the 411 on Mary J. Blige’s financial troubles — they’re worse than we thought. The “No More Drama” singer’s reported money problems have gotten so bad, she was slapped with a notice on the door of her tony upper West Side apartment building after it was discovered that she “had a rent-paying problem” last November. The luxe building, the Ashley, boasts a basketball court, state-of-the-art gym and bowling alley.
“It was for not paying back rent,” said a real estate source who has leased apartments at the building. A three-bedroom apartment at the Extell Development site, similar to the one Blige was renting, rents for $9,000 to $12,000 monthly, depending on the view and amenities. Our source says the 42-year-old singer was there for a little more than a year before the note was plastered on the front door of the pad.
It is not clear if Blige sorted out the problem with building management.
According to reports Mary's finances are in a shambles because she's being bleed dry by a mountain of copyright law

LaTocha Questions Kandi's So So Def Snub

latosha

Recently it was revealed that Kandi Burruss had chosen not to participate in the So So Def 20th Anniversary concert. Former Xscape member LaTocha Scott, who recently joined the cast of R&B Divas on TV One, tells Kandi she owes it to the fans...

LaTocha sat down with Egypt on V103 in Atlanta to took a moment to get Kandi together.

From Egypt Said So
Egypt: Kandi said she has no problem with Jermaine Dupri but she has opted not to participate in the So So Def Reunion. And let me just say this. She was very clean, not drama filled at all. Just speaking from a place in her heart where she felt that there was some unfinished business in Xscape that were not allowing for you guys to come together and do the reunion so she would not be a part of this. What is this unfinished business? I don’t know, I’m just a fan. I wanna see ya’ll together.
LaTocha: My thing is the only unfinished business I can think of is the fact that we didn’t go onto the other albums that we were supposed to do. Other than that, I don’t understand where the unfinished business comes in at. I don’t know what she’s talking about.
Egypt: Would you like to do a reunion though?
LaTocha: Oh I would love to do a reunion with Xscape. Why not?
Egypt: Do you know how much money ya’ll would make are you kidding me??
Latocha: I mean it’s not even that. I mean that’s part of it but I think we owe it to the fans, to the people. They put us all here. You know we’re successful and people were calling us because of what the fans allowed us to do and that’s the scene. You know the universe opened up for us in ’93. We were able to sign to So So Def very early on. We worked hard and to be here now, it’s like 20 years later, who can even say that?

Kim and Kanye in the Middle of TSA Scandal

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrive at LAX

According to TMZ reports:
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are at the center of a TSA investigation following a major security violation at JFK yesterday … but the TSA tells TMZ Kimye is NOT to blame.

We’ve learned … K&K had taken a flight from Brazil to JFK on Tuesday, where the plan was to catch a connecting flight to Los Angeles.

But once they landed in NY, the couple met up with an airline greeter … who, according to the TSA, allowed them to bypass a key security checkpoint to get them to their next flight as quickly as possible.

After Kim and Kanye took their seats on the L.A.-bound plane … a TSA agent yanked them off the flight … and made K&K go through another layer of security.
We’re told the plane was delayed for roughly an hour while the couple was screened by TSA agents.
TSA claims that KimYe was not at fault for the security breach.
“An airline employee escorted the two travelers through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight.”

“In doing so, the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travelers to by-pass the TSA security checkpoint. TSA officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.”

“The passengers were cleared to board their flight, which departed after a delay of approximately 50 minutes. TSA is actively investigating the incident.”

The couple ultimately touched down in L.A. … where they were greeted by a gaggle of paparazzi … but seemed incredibly calm considering all they had been through.
This airline employee is going to lose his job and possibly catch a charge behind being a KimYe stan. The least Kim and Kanye could do is try to get homie a gig for his effort.

Clearing up any rumors that he may have been bothered by Jay-Z’s comment, The Dream called into Philly’s Hot 109.7 to chat about his Grammy get up with Q Deezy. He told him:
I don’t know if people really know how much time we spend around each other. There’s a thing like, ‘Oh that’s the first time he’s around him and that’s what Jay feels about him.’ We’re around each other joking all the time. It’s not like he wouldn’t say that. He would say that whether the TV is on or not. Of course I have suits in my closet that I could have put on. I could have looked like everybody else that was there. I could have did that. Actually, we made the best TV moment that’s been on the Grammys in a long time. I don’t mind taking a joke or a jab. That’s cool. I’ll get Jay back.[...] All that means is that Jay’s in debt and he owes me like, three rap verses.

Katy Perry and Rihanna No Longer Friends

katy rihanna
Remember the good ol’ days when Rihanna and Katy Perry were BFFs and used to sit in each other’s laps at the awards shows, and go on vacations together?

Well, media outlets have been reporting that the two have been quietly drifting apart for a while now (every since Rihanna started cozying up with Chris Brown again), and now it seems like the break up is official. Perry is not supportive of Rihanna’s renewed romance with Breezy, and speculations that she was purposefully distancing herself from Rih Rih were CONFIRMED at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where the two starlets didn’t appear to even know each!

According to sources, in view of Perry and Rihanna’s past relationship, Grammy officials had originally seated them together. However Perry requested that the seating arrangement be changed, and asked that she and her boyfriend John Mayer be seated far away from Rihanna.
