Rihanna has caused a storm of controversy after posting several posts on her Instagram page regarding Lebron James. Rihanna, on several occasions has referred to the married James as "bae" upon congratulating him on his win in the NBA Finals last night. A few weeks ago Rihanna posted a picture of herself with the #23 on her body, which looked like it was sprayed in whipped cream. The act was seen as sexually suggestive and very inappropriate to many. So the question today on New York's "The Breakfast Club" radio show was, did Rihanna go too far in her love and admiration for Lebron James? If you recall Rihanna has referenced Lebron on her hit song, "Bitch Better Have My Money". Do you think Rihanna is being inappropriate or simply fanning out like the rest of the Lebron James' fans? In other music news, it looks as if things are over for couple, Iggy Azalea and her NBA player boyfriend, Nick Young. Iggy posted on social media she can no longer t...

As we all know Mariah Carey is still legally married to Nick Cannon and the rumor has been that he is not willing to sign the divorce papers. Nick Cannon is denying this and says he wants Mariah to be "happy". Well then, sign those damn divorce papers! Justin Beiber was seen on camera fighting in Cleveland at the Westin Hotel after a man and two women asked for a picture. Justin replied "no" and went to lunge on the man. What is Justin smoking? He really needs to get over his self in my opinion. Bobby Brown's tell-all interview has some people reeling particularly mother of Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston. And we all know Cissy don't play. Cissy talked to People magazine and blasted Bobby's claims about Whitney. In the interview, if you missed it, Bobby says he caught Whitney doing drugs on their wedding day; which is pretty believable. Whitney herself says the drugs started around 1992. He also alleges that Whitney had a same sex relationship with fri...

Future is being sued for 10 million dollars by Rocko. Do you all remember Rocko? He used to date Monica back in the day. Well Future was signed to Rocko's A1 Entertainment back in 2010. Future allegedly went behind Rocko's back and cut a side deal with Epic Records which resulted in a huge payout for Future. Now Rocko is wanting what's owed to him. #teamlitty Bobby Brown appeared on ABC's "20/20" last night for an emotional interview regarding Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina. Bobby has a book being released next week aptly titled, "Every Little Step". Bobby spoke in detail about his tumultuous relationship with Whitney Houston detailing their drug use over the years. Most of what Bobby spoke about was things that I heard previously from him and Whitney Houston. He did deny spitting on Whitney which she claimed in an interview with Oprah during her "I Look To You" album release. He also accuses Nick Gordon of Bobbi Kristina's death...

Sorry for the lack of updates! So here's some quick news for you all. Trina will release her new album tentatively titled, "6" this December. She just dropped a remix to Drake's hit single, "Hotline Bling" and I like it. Personally Trina is one of my favorites so I'm looking forward to her album that was produced by Rico Love. Bobby Brown will release his memoir,"My Prerogative" in June 2016. Lindsay Lohan says she will run for President in 2020 much like Kanye West. She must still be cracked out because that sounds like a joke, much like Donald Trump running for President. Like I see that Trump has a lot of votes right now but will people ultimately vote for him, that remains to be seen. But my vote is for Hilary Clinton! And with that being said, I'll try not to hold out too long before the next update! Thanks for reading! :)

It has been a rough week for Bobby Brown and his family. Just yesterday he laid his baby girl, Bobbi Kristina to rest at her funeral. Some of the family members reportedly came to blows due to the mysterious circumstances of Bobbi Kristina's death. Bobby's sister, Leolah Brown was kicked out of the funeral and spoke to some of the blogs. She accused Nick Gordon and Pat Houston of having something to do with Bobbi Kristina's death. :( At the end of the day hopefully this family can and will find peace but I'm thinking this whole thing is about money. If that's not enough drama for you, Bobby's wife was rushed to the hospital this morning after suffering a seizure. Prayers go up to Bobby Brown and his family. On a much lighter note, Fetty Wap has been accused of skipping out on his bill at Olive Garden. Future reportedly took some shots at Ciara and Russell Wilson on Twitter. Drake's alleged ghostwriter says he's not Drake's ghostwriter. Then who is?...

KEEP HOPE ALIVE: Bobby Brown reported a few days ago via concert that his baby girl Bobbi Kristina was awake but according to Cissy Houston, grandmother of Bobbi Kristina says she's awake but "unresponsive". So there's still hope for this young lady and hopefully she pushes through. I reported this story a day or so ago and I was saying how some of the Houston family refuted Bobby's claims but the real deal was Bobby was correct all along but the Houston's wanted to clarify that statement and they did. DUET IN THE WORKS: After appearing alongside one another on "Watch! What Happens Live", Brandy and Jazmine Sullivan are talking about collaborating as well with Kandi Burruss who also appeared on the show. I would say I'm interested in hearing Brandy and Jazmine Sullivan on a track together. Are you? Speaking of Brandy she just got a new show on BET titled "Zoe Moon"(I believe that's the title). Brandy will play a recently divorced w...

BIG PROBLEM: So the big news of the day, at least as far as what I'm seeing is that Big Sean and Ariana Grande have broken up. The split was amicable and their people are asking us that we respect their privacy at this time. Yeah right! Just imagine if this was a nasty breakup(which its not being reported as) then we could possibly look forward to a "I Don't Fuck With You Part 2" from Big Sean. AWAKE: In much better news, Bobby Brown has revealed that his daughter Bobbi Kristina has awaken from her coma. He shared the news during a recent concert. But I was reading today that the Houston family saying the news is not true and Bobbi's condition hasn't changed. So who do we believe in this? I believe Bobby. Some of the Houston family members are crooked in my opinion, just look at Pat Houston. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. I'm just saying. Thoughts?

"TOUR" DE FORCE: Chris Brown's past continues to haunt him. The singer broke the news to fans today that he was denied entry into Canada, two shows which were sold out. Chris apologized to fans and promised to make it up to them, still some fans are very upset with the singer, rightfully so. But what else can the man do? He did the right thing on his part. Now some people have even dragged Trey Songz into the mix citing that the tour is all over the place but you still bought tickets though. Didn't you? "NICK" OF TIME: Speaking of Brown, Bobby Brown is feeling the wrath from Nick Gordon now who has reportedly been banned from seeing Bobbi Kristina in the hospital. Nick has said that Bobby is only in the hospital for publicity purposes and that Bobby has only seen Bobbi Kris 4 times in a 5 year span. This isn't surprising though because it was reported in the past that Bobby Brown and Bobbi Kristina had a strained relationship. Nick going in on Twitter i...

Not only is Justin Timberlake celebrating a birthday, he announced that he and his wife Jessica Biel are expecting their first child together. Happy Birthday Justin and congratulations to you and Jessica. Well it looks like these days celebrities who beef with another love to get back at one another in some type of capacity, case in point. K. Michelle was seen on social media twerking to Safaree Samuels, ex-bf of Nicki Minaj's new song. When Safaree caught wind of it, he hailed the video and praised her hour glass figure, which is very similar to that of Nicki's. This was all in response to Nicki Minaj hooking up with Meek Mill, who was also messing around with K. Michelle and K claims Nicki Minaj stole her song, Buy A Heart featuring Meek Mill. Did you follow? Anyway on a sad note, Bobbi Kristina, daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub by husband(friend or whatever their association is) Nick Gordon. Bobbi was rushed to a hospi...

HE'S BACK: Bobby Brown is in better spirits these days. The singer is obviously feeling a lot better after having some unknown health conditions. He is now rejoining the group that made him famous, New Edition on their tour. It was a little over a month ago where Bobby took ill on stage and had to abandon the tour altogether. It's nice to hear that Bobby is back. Next we will see how Bobby is portrayed in the Lifetime movie of Whitney Houston airing soon. THE LETTER: Joe Jackson, father of Janet Jackson penned a surprising and thoughtful letter to his daughter Janet. The famed father spoke about how Janet took him to the premiere of The Nutty Professor 2 and he felt that Janet should of been the lead, or the one carrying the film. He says Janet wasn't too amused by his words but took the criticism and applied to her later starring roles. He went on to say how proud he is of Janet. Awww! How touching! And I think a lot of us, myself included felt Joe didn't have a hear...

BROWN DOWN: Bobby Brown has abruptly left his tour with New Edition. The often troubled singer cited health problems as leaving the tour. Bobby apologized to fans for his departure. NO BEEF HERE: Drake and Chris Brown are in the studio! The once dueling artists have now come together to collaborate on new music. There is no word on when we can expect this new music.

BOBBY SPEAKS: Bobby Brown feels that he can play himself in the upcoming Lifetime biopic for Whitney Houston, to whom he was married to. He jokingly says he'd have to lose a few pounds. When told that no music of Whitney's would be featured in the movie, Bobby frowned at the idea noting that they were very much a music couple. The Houstons are playing hardball here especially fact being they don't want this movie made. Despite the Houston family's feelings the movie is still being made. Back to Bobby though, he did say his daughter, Bobbi Kristina would be spending Father's Day with him and she is not married contrary to popular belief. Well now there you go! SMOKE TO THIS: If you listen to the radio frequently then you've likely heard the new song from singer Mila J, Smoke Drink, Break Up . The song will appear on Mila J's upcoming Motown debut EP MadeInL.A.(M.I.L.A.) due in September. The singer recently hosted a studio session of some new material that ...

Who knew that three artists who all share the same last name would have so much in common? How much in common do they have? You have to read on to find out in Last Name Brown First Name... Chris Brown Chris Brown has replaced Bobby Brown as the Bad Boy Of R&B. Though Bobby Brown still occasionally makes the headlines for DUI charges he has simmered down quite a bit. It seems like with Chris Brown trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. Most recently Chris Brown attended a club along with his entourage the same night Drake and his entourage did. Unfortunately the celebratory night took a turn for the worse when Drake allegedly provoked Brown with a nasty letter detailing his relationship with ex flame Rihanna. The brawl caused numerous injuries  from both parties prompting in lawsuits and the club closing its doors. We can't forget Chris Brown and his numerous Twitter beefs with fans, critics, skeptics, and other celebrities. His temper tantrums are now indu...

Many famed couples have given us an inside look into their private lives. Many of these reality TV shows are used primarily as a means of promotion.

Don't Be Cruel My Prerogative Roni Every Little Step Rock Wit'cha I remember my sister had this cassette as well as our neighbors across the street. You can imagine how crazy they were about Bobby Brown and this album. I didn't understand it at the time but "Don't Be Cruel" is considered Bobby's best album.

The new single is from his album, "F.A.M.E.+ Fortune" which will be in stores this March. If you were curious the acronym for FAME is Forgiving All My Enemies.

The LP, which he says could be out by “early next year”, is set to get a big, fat European makeover. Usher confirms he has recorded a “cool song” with dance-pop producer David Guetta, and has also enlisted Scando dance gods Swedish House Mafia for the upcoming project. He is also in talks to work with British 22-year-old rapper Tinie Tempah. Kelly Rowland, the first black/R&B star to work with Guetta previously stated t...

I was just four years old when this album was released but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. My sister had the cassette. I remember many a times dancing to the songs such as "Every Little Step and "My Prerogative". Bobby Brown was coming off his stint as a member of the famed R&B group, New Edition. So naturally when Bobby Brown released "Don't Be Cruel", there was much fanfare. The album featured the title track which was issued as the album's first single. The song was produced by the production team of Babyface and L.A. Reid which later housed the label, LaFace. "My Prerogative" was chosen as the album's second single and featured a funky video. The song was later remade by Britney Spears which Bobby claims he didn't like. "Roni" was the album's third single followed by "Rock Wit'cha". This album was a huge hit for Bobby Brown and it sold in excess of 4 million copies. ---------------- Now ...

I don't even have to say who he was married to before. Bobby recently wrapped up his stint on "Celebrity Fit Club". Do you all remember Latavia from the original line up for Destiny's Child? Well the singer has been pretty low key over the years and rumors have circulated regarding her financial status as well as her work status. Whatever the case may be Latavia apparently had a tell all book in the works which was set to expose the Knowles family. Now according to the singer on her twitter page the book has been blocked! No surprise there right? I mean most people are already aware of the sheisty behavior exhibited by Mathew Knowles(Beyonce's father) so if she was set to reveal even more; then this has all the makings of being a New York Times Bestseller. Kelly Price will release her new album; ...
