Single again. What's wrong with these celebrities? We're only 8 days into the new year and these celebrities are behaving more wilder than ever. It all makes for some very entertaining stories but also some very annoying moments. Sorry for the lack of updates. Sometimes I'm so busy doing nothing that I forget to provide you all with an update. Thanks for the support and continuing to visit and read my blog! While Mariah Carey is still blaming everyone for her fiasco of a performance 9 days ago, Nicki Minaj is now a single woman. The rapper announced the news a few days ago on Twitter. Ex-boyfriend, Meek Mill wasted no time throwing shade at Nicki poking fun at a pair of shoes she wore back in Ciara's video a few years back. The shade was very stale!  Chris Brown's crazy ass was thrown out of a gym after getting into a heated argument with the gym manager. While I thought he was in there training for his fake fight with Soulja Boy, he was actually with frien...

#throwbackpic2014 Word on the street is that Drake and Jennifer Lopez are dating. Drake was recently seen attending J-Lo's concert and he was very into the show based on the video that surfaced. What do you all think about J-Lo and Drake dating?  Speaking of J-Lo, her nemesis; Mariah Carey appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" and she threw more shade at J-Lo insisting she "still doesn't know her". She also threw shade at Demi Lovato for statements she made about Mariah a few months ago. Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus also caught wind of Mariah's legendary shade. It wasn't all shade. Mariah showed love to Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and surprisingly Britney Spears. I know Mariah is known for her shade and that's fine but I'm over the whole Mariah and J-Lo feud.. It seems to me that J-Lo is over it but Mariah is still bitter over the past. If you all don't know that story, Mariah accused her ex; Tommy Motolla, the...

The tea is hot! Rick Ross was performing at a concert when he shouted out Kanye and made claims that Kanye's "breakdown" was simply that of a publicity stunt. Could be true? But I still think there is something seriously wrong with Kanye. I see he is walking around with the blond hair looking like Kid Cudi and Frank Ocean but hey whatever makes him happy. Do you think Kanye is faking it until he makes it?  Mary J. Blige has been going through a bitter and very public divorce. Her ex-husband Kendu Issacs apparently has some possessions of Mary's and he refuses to give them back. They include 2 Grammys and 2 Mercedes Benzes. Mary claims that she wants her Grammys back and he can keep one of the Mercedes. It's amazing to me how greedy this man is being when he's the one whose done Mary wrong. Give Mary her shit back Kendu!  Chris Brown has announced that he will be releasing a new single soon called "Party" featuring Usher and Gucci Mane. Chr...

Mariah gets a special visitor Mariah Carey got a special visit from Beyoncé during her Christmas concert at the Beacon Theater in New York. The two posed for photos which later made the social media rounds and a second picture this time with both ladies and their kids. People poked fun at the fact that Beyoncé brought Blue Ivy, her daughter to play with Mariah's kids but won't bring Blue Ivy around North West, Kanye Wests' daughter.  Speaking of Kanye West, the rapper was seen meeting up with president elect Donald Trump at the Trump Tower. The move has shocked everyone and Kanye took to Twitter to express his reasons for meeting Donald Trump. Kanye tweeted that the two talked about violence in Chicago and curriculum among other things. Kanye also hashtagged "#2024" which I'm guessing is the year he plans to run for office as well. If Trump can win the presidential election with no experience, anything is possible from here on out.  I read a headlin...

Beyoncé leads Grammy nods The Grammy award nominations were revealed yesterday and Beyoncé, Adele, Drake, and Rihanna scores multiple nominations. Congrats to all the nominees. I could really care less about the Grammys this year or for the last few year to be honest. It's always the same artists getting nominated. I was however glad to see Remy Ma get her first nomination in 11 years and I was also glad to see R&B trio King get a nomination. If you don't know who King is you should look them up. They're a trio based out of L.A. and their debut album is titled, "We Are King". Speaking of Rihanna and Beyoncé, Rihanna had to clear up a post she liked on Instagram of a fan blasting Beyoncé's multiple Grammy wins and how Rihanna should of been nominated for Album of the Year. Rihanna responded after a backlash and said that she simply liked the post without really reading it and added that people shouldn't pit women against each other. People are p...

Trina surprises fans. Today is Trina's birthday and she gifted her fans with a new project titled, "Dynasty 6". The project contains 7 songs and was released through Trina's own imprint, Rockstarr Music Group. The project is available on all music streaming services. Will you be checking this out?  50 Cent is not surprised by Kanye West's recent meltdown and hospitalization. The two rappers were once rivals due to the fact that they released albums on the same day years ago. It was more of a friendly rival which benefited both artists at the time. Speaking of Kanye, there are reports that say that Kanye has been on medication and he hasn't been taking it and that led to his recent meltdown. What do you think? Do you think Kanye is medicated or needs to be medicated? We all know now Kanye has been released from the hospital and hopefully he will continue to take care of himself.  VH1 recorded their "Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night" last night...

Mariah's got a new man Mariah Carey has not wasted time moving on from billionaire ex-boyfriend, James Packer. She is now dating one of her backup dancers. The two were seen getting cozy on a beach somewhere. There was a blind item report that I read awhile ago about an A-list singer caught with her dress down while sitting on her backup dancer's lap. When caught said singer tried to jump up quickly but couldn't because she was drunk! Sounds like Mariah to me!  Singer Jeremih has upset fans in Chicago when he abruptly left the stage during a concert after only performing 2 songs. Jeremih was alleged to say "fuck y'all" and many fans took to social media to air out the singer. Jeremih has since replied claiming that his band screwed him up by cutting off the sound in his headphones. I guess... Kanye West is finally out of the hospital after a week long stay. Kanye's brother has come and said Kanye was reeling from Kim Kardashian's robbery. Fi...

Monica may be with child. Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I went out of town for the Holiday but now I am back. There are rumors swirling around that Monica may be with child. The singer has yet to confirm these rumors but it wouldn't surprise me. Last night Monica appeared on "Where Are They Now?" which appears on the OWN network. Personally if I were Monica I would of been insulted if they asked me to appear on the show. I say this because Monica is still in the spotlight. Just this year she released an album and while it didn't perform that spectacularly, we know Monica is still around. I could understand them doing a story on someone like Sisqo because no one knows what happened to him. But hey you know what they say, "there is no such thing as bad publicity". What do you think? Kanye West is still hospitalized and is now said to be suffering from "paranoia" and "depression" among other things. My intentions are not to ...

Azealia's got a new deal Azealia Banks has revealed that she has a new record deal and she is keeping mum about it. She even revealed that she "can't mess this up". She claims to be deleting all her social media sites as well. I can't count how many times we've heard that but I wish her luck. She will need it.  Nicki Minaj is currently the spokesperson for T-Mobile cellular network and she's recently starred in a commercial for the company. Competitor, Verizon caught a snapshot of Nicki on a phone that said Verizon and quickly blasted the rapper. The rapper shot back claiming that the phone in question was that of her camera man and that she is a T-Mobile subscriber and will remain indebted to the company. I bet if Verizon were to offer her the right price, she'll be working for them next. What do you think?  Just yesterday it was reported that Kanye West was hospitalized. Now more information has become available. It is being reported that ...

The tea is hot! Days after his rant and meltdown during his St. Pablo Tour, Kanye West has abruptly cancelled his tour and is now hospitalized. Reports are describing the hospitalization as a "health and safety concern". Many are saying that Kanye is dealing with a lot personally and professionally. He called out friends; Beyoncé and Jay Z for being disloyal and claiming that Beyoncé informed MTV that she would not perform if they didn't award her Video of the Year. He has also been dealing with the fallout from his wife; Kim K. who suffered from her robbery overseas. Many shunned Kanye after abruptly ending his concert mid set and after he made claims that he would've voted for Donald Trump. Hopefully Kanye gets the rest and help he needs. He is certainly going through a lot and I can imagine its not easy especially being someone in the spotlight.  Speaking of Kanye West, Ray J still has some things to get off his chest as he's released a new song dissing...

Don't come for Bey Kanye West has ignited a storm of controversy during his most recent concert. During a break from the music Kanye made claims that MTV's Video Music Awards is rigged citing that was the reasoning for Beyoncé win for "Formation". MTV quickly shot back denying the claims saying that Beyoncé won fair and square due to the controversy behind the video and the cinematography. If that wasn't enough Kanye ended his concert early leaving many fans chanting "Fuck Kanye West!" I'm starting to think that people shouldn't even waste their money going to see Kanye at this point if he's going to abandon his set early. However it may still be worth the price of admission to simply attend and see what he is going to say or do for that matter. On a lighter note, he did bring out Kid Cudi; who called out Kanye months ago. It was possibly the best moment of the concert. Of course all the name calling and accusations that Kanye made last ...

Mariah's ex has a new baby Nick Cannon is spreading his seed throughout the industry. The TV host recently admitted that he has fathered a child with a Brittany Bell. I'm not sure who the girl is nor does anyone else. This comes on the heels of the rumors that Nick Cannon was dating Chili from TLC. Nick Cannon recently appeared on syndicated radio show, "The Breakfast Club" where he expounded on everything but I haven't watched the interview yet. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I plan to watch it anyway.  Kanye West has everyone talking and its for all the wrong reasons. He recently revealed that he did not vote in this past election. He says had he voted it would of been for Donald Trump. The comment left everyone flabbergasted and the memes and outcry began and they weren't good. It's funny because Kanye had endorsed Hilary Clinton but I'm not sure what happened there. Someone made light of the fact that Kanye West is supporting someone...

The tea is spilling. Rick Ross owes 5.7 million to the IRS and Wale was hit with a lawsuit after allegedly pocketing money for a show and not showing up. Wale says this is the first he's heard of that.  Kanye West reportedly threw out all the furniture he bought for his home and he deemed it "ugly". Did he not look at the furniture before he bought it?  Many celebrities have encouraged their fans and followers on social media to vote today as today is Election Day. Some celebrities have even lent a hand in the polls such as Tyrese who bought pizza for voters waiting in line. Chance the Rapper lead people in his hometown of Chicago to go and vote.

Apologetic Azealia I know we all are tired of hearing about Azealia Banks especially when it has nothing to do with music. But after all the drama, it seems as if Azealia is taking a step in the right direction. A few days ago the controversial rapper shared a letter she penned to Zayk Malik of One Direction fame. Months ago Azealia went on a big rant towards the singer when Azealia mistook something he said to be towards her. It seems like that always happens with Azealia but its good she is moving forward and being positive. Now whether or not Zayk has accepted the apology is unknown. Kanye West says he will not attend Grammys if Frank Ocean is not nominated for his album, "Blond". Kanye must of missed the memo that Frank forgot or didn't submit his album for Grammy consideration before the deadline. In more Kanye West news, it seems as if his relationship with Jay-Z is rocky as Kanye has stated there won't be a "Watch The Throne 2" but I could car...

An old banner. Good evening everyone! Kanye West is mad at Jay-Z for not visiting his home after Kim Kardashian was robbed. Kanye blasted Jay during a recent concert and of course the video footage made the rounds on social media. If Jay couldn't visit Kanye and Kim, he could of called at least, right? Well we know Jay isn't going to respond to this and if he does maybe he will via a song or a guest appearance on a song.  RZA has FINALLY spoken out after the whole Azealia Banks and Russell Crow debacle. RZA says Azealia was "choked" but not called the "N word". He also states that Azealia was "drunk" and "violent" and threatened to cut a woman with a glass. RZA also details how he came to Azealia's defense when he went to bat for her for his feature film, "Coco". He also talked about how he got Azealia a record deal, flew her out to L.A. and yadda yadda. In typical Azealia Banks fashion, she has since responded and ...

An old banner  Kim Kardashian's life was nearly taken when she was held at gunpoint while in Paris! Fortunately the reality TV star turned mogul was not injured in anyway. Her husband, Kanye West was in the middle of a concert when he got the news and immediately ended the show citing "family emergency". Many of concert goers thought Kanye was simply joking but he was not. I read that Kim's security apparently let the man in or something to that effect but I don't know the full story yet as this news is still breaking everywhere. I would expect the security guard(s) to be fired after this mishap because why would you let some random man in her hotel room? Remember Iggy Azalea was supposed to release her second album, "Digital Distortion" over the Summer? Well she didn't and I figured it was because her single, "Team" didn't do all that well. Now she is speaking out and saying that the reason behind the album's delay was beca...

I got the tea. Lyfe's ex-girlfriend has filed a restraining order against the singer. Lyfe, who was recently seen on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" actually hails from my hometown and did a bid in jail some years back. I believe Lyfe was threatening his ex-girlfriend but I can't remember exactly what those threats were. Hmm... Lil' Wayne is upset at Birdman for letting Tyga off the Young Money roster to sign with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. The Game was on "Wendy" today and he opened up about the lyrics in a song he released a few months ago. In the song, he bragged about sleeping with three Kardashians so you know Wendy asked him who the three were. What made this revelation all the more surprising is that Game revealed that the third Kardashian is not quite a Kardashian yet but will be. He's talking about none other than former escort, Blac Chyna. Blac Chyna is engaged to Rob Kardashian and her baby father is the aformentioned T...

Nicki Minaj fans erupt Rah Digga of Flipmode Squad fame upset Nicki Minaj fans today when she shaded Nicki Minaj on Twitter. One fan said that Nicki would wash Rah to which Rah replied "with her lyrics or  Safaree's?". Safaree Samuels, Nicki Minaj's ex has long been rumored to have penned some of Nicki's biggest hits. He's even claimed this as well after their breakup and Nicki herself has always denied this. What Rah said was something that Azealia Banks actually said yesterday on Twitter. She just worded it slightly different. Azealia was called out for working with Safaree and hating on Nicki. Azealia said she likes Nicki's songs but the ones Safaree wrote. This is pretty similar to what Rah said so naturally Nicki Minaj fans are in an uproar. To add injury to insult, Lil' Mama has been throwing shots at Nicki as well so it looks like Nicki had to put out something to silence the haters but all it did was make them talk more. Now I like everybo...

An old banner Kanye West held a fashion show on Wednesday I believe and it was a "hot mess" as described by one. Under strict rules, the models weren't allowed to eat,drink, shit, talk, or anything. Several of the models faced difficulties as they walked to runway. One fell and one's shoe's collapsed or it might of been the same person, I don't know. I mean I just seen some video footage and just read a few of the reports. In attendance was wife, Kim. K, Kylie Jenner, Pharrell Williams, and Tyga.  Speaking of Tyga, the rapper has just signed to Kanye's GOOD Music label. Many people on Twitter ridiculed the decision. It was also revealed that trio Migos was signed to the label as well. Then again I don't think many people cared about that either or they just looked at the news as pretty random and I can agree.  Iggy Azalea's ex, Nick Young says he's happy for his ex and her new man, French Montana and even said he hopes they get marri...

Beyoncé big winner So I am a day late on my recap of the Video Music Awards. I didn't watch the telecast and nowadays you don't have to because most, if not all performances become readily available on social media and YouTube. There were many highlights as well as shocking moments,typical of all award shows these days. I took the liberty to cover some of the moments. Check it out!  Beyoncé was one of the big winners at the Video Music Awards. She now holds the record for the most awarded female surpassing Madonna. Beyoncé graced the red carpet with her daughter, Blue Ivy in tow. Jay-Z was noticeably absent. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. I do notice when Beyoncé does attend award shows without Jay-Z, she seems more gracious and personable as opposed to when she is with him, she comes off as rather icy and cold, just my opinion. She also performed several songs from her "Lemonade" album. People were criticizing Alicia Keys for not w...
