It was back in February when Keyshia Cole took to Twitter to express her disdain towards Michelle Williams during the Super Bowl Half Time performance. Beyonce was the headlining act and she brought out Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland for the Destiny's Child medley. Keyshia's words in regards to Michelle's performance sparked a lot of controversy and debate with fans and critics alike. Well I am happy to report that all has been resolved by the two women. Last week Michelle Williams spoke out and said she wanted to have a sit down, woman to woman with Keyshia Cole. Keyshia reached out via Twitter and apologized to Michelle for the comments she made. Michelle also apologized! Well there you go! Two other women in the news today is a bit of an unlikely pair, K. Michelle and Elle Varner.

Omarion is the latest signee to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group. The move obviously comes as a shock to everyone including myself. I'm not mad at it though but what is pretty puzzling is that Omarion reportedly changed his name to Maybach O or is that a joke? Either way the artist formerly known as Omarion has been seeking a deal for awhile after his brief stint with Young Money. How will Omarion fare with Maybach Music? We will have to wait and listen. A new single featuring Rick Ross titled; "Let's See" is said to drop very soon as will several other releases from artists such as Meek Mill. There was a rumor that Shawnna was signing to Maybach Music as well but that hasn't been reported. In other Maybach Music news; Rick Ross finally revealed a release date for his album; "God Forgives I Don't" which will drop this July. Ross explained that the delay simply stemmed from perfecting the album's material. Nothing wrong with that right? Wo...

Though the ladies are technically the stars of the show; the men have their own place in the show as well. These men are famous rappers who the ladies are affiliated with in some type of capacity either by way of marriage or past relationships. The list below is the men who get constant mentions or make sporadic appearances on the show! Check it out! Fabolous Personally I think the show should be called; "Love & Fabolous" but maybe that sounds more like a spin-off. I say this because Emily is always gushing about her desire to reignite her relationship with Fabolous. Absolutely charming! Jim Jones Jimmy clearly gets more camera time than the other guys affiliated with the show; rightfully so though. His fiance; Chrissy is one of the primary ladies on the show. Often times we are invited into their home and their arguments. Juelz Santana Juelz Santana's baby mama; Kimbella is one of the other ladies linked to the show and new to the show this season. Juelz's name i...

Twitter went crazy over the weekend when several Tweeters reported that Fab and Ray had got into a scuffle with each other at Fabolous' concert. Some concert-goers tweeted the first sighting of fists flying, including: "Just saw Ray J and Fabolous throw blows backstage at the concert in Vegas," and "So @RayJ just punched @myfabolouslife about some dumb stuff but Fab whooped his a** backstage." However, anyone hoping to catch a glimpse of the alleged fight may be disappointed because concert-goers were forced to delete any footage by a security guard. The beef between Ray and Fab started a few days ago when Fab took shots at Ray on his Twitter, writing: "N**ga Ray J doin a concert in his living room," and "Nah but Floyd [Mayweather] saying we havin a concert in my living room & the camera cuts to Ray J singing "One Wish" on the piano had me in tears." It then escalated when Ray's friend retaliated, saying: "Ch...

I take it the official video will be leaking soon. Music Biz: Teyana Taylor Involved In Studio Brawl You can read more about that below but Teyana is reportedly dating Kanye West. Teyana Taylor has been named as a suspect in a girl-on-girl fight that erupted after another female made remarks about Chris Brown. Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that the 20-year-old singer was at a Burbank recording studio on Saturday night when another woman said something about Teyana’s friend Brown that set her off.

Officers are still investigating the incident and are interested in speaking with Teyana, but no charges have been filed against her at this time...
