The word on the street is that singer Brandy is pregnant but she is denying it! Brandy's former "Moesha" co-star, Countess Vaughn(who she famously feuded with) congratulated Brandy on the news not once but twice. Brandy's own daughter came out and said her Mother had partaken in eating numerous amounts of pancakes and so forth. Well little does Brandy's daughter know that all the extra eating could mean your Mother is pregnant. Maybe Brandy is pregnant and she's just not ready to make the announcement. She did put in her bio that she is not pregnant and is far too busy to be. But Brandy has definitely been flaunting around her new man which has become a controversy in itself. Brandy hasn't had the best luck in relationships and I think people genuinely want to see her happy. But the real question is why is Countess Vaughn continually congratulating Brandy if she is saying it isn't true? Is Countess just being shady? Well, the Billboard Music awards w...

Hey people! I know its very rare that I greet you all personally but I wanted to say this post is being labeled the "Shade Edition". A lot of shade was thrown last night and over the last few days. So I'll start with Lee Daniels, creator of "Empire" who shad some words for his dear friend Mariah Carey. He said "Mariah shouldn't do reality TV!". Mariah responded by saying her new show, "isn't a reality show". Take that Lee Daniels! Ha! On a totally different note, Madonna is facing a backlash after her Prince tribute fell on deaf ears. Madonna was joined by Stevie Wonder for a somber duet of Prince's "Purple Rain". While I feel the tribute left a lot to be desired, at least Billboard did pay tribute to Prince, had they not, people would of been upset about that. Immediately after the performance, BET shaded Madonna by posting a 15 second clip with the caption, "Yeah, we saw that. Don't worry. We got you"....

Kylie Jenner says she's not pregnant! R&B singer Cheryl Lynn(song: "Encore") went in on Anita Baker via social media when she discovered Anita blocked her. Lynn went on to say that Baker is jealous of her singing skills and after she ranted enough offered a semi apology. What do you think about Anita blocking Cheryl? I'm sure there is more to the story but we only know one side right now. But this feud can be filed under "strange" right along with the recent feud between Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford which has since been resolved. I've read that Anita Baker can be a little coocoo so who knows what the problem really is. Speaking of feuds, fans of Nicki Minaj have signed a petition against Iggy Azalea saying her award at the Billboard awards for "Best Rap Song" should be revoked. They are upset not only because Nicki didn't win but they say they song was released outside of the eligibility time. My gosh! Just let the girl live! I'...
