Bobby V.(song: "Slow Down") is going to court over claims that he was extorted by a transgender woman. Remember Bobby V. was caught with his pants down on video after an alleged tryst with a transgender prostitute. I can't believe this mess is being dragged into the courts. I think its pretty pointless. At the end of the day if Bobby V. does indeed deal with transgender prostitutes from time to time then that's his business. I don't think anyone really cares. I think people were more surprised he was caught on tape. People didn't seem to care that he messed with transgender women and I don't care either. R. Kelly has come out and denied claims that he had sex with an underage girl(at the time) who says she was apart of his alleged sex cult. The woman in question spoke candidly on video detailing how she had to ask permission to do certain things(like eat, shit, sleep, and when to talk). There's so much speculation as to what's true and what...

By now you've likely heard about R&B singer Bobby V. being caught on tape with his pants down. After an alleged sexual encounter with a transgender woman, the video of Bobby V. leaving the apartment quickly went viral. Social media was on fire. Snoop Dogg posted a video urging Bobby V. that they needed to talk. Former collaborator Yung Joc poked fun at the video by recreating it. Now Bobby V. has spoken out and says that he was "extorted" once the transgender woman found out he was a celebrity. He also said that he didn't know he was meeting a transgender woman. This debacle caused a major rift in the transgender community when comedian Lil' Duval appeared on the nationally syndicated radio show, "The Breakfast Club". Lil' Duval spoke about how transgender woman should reveal if they are transgender and failure to do so could result in someone getting hurt(or "shot" in his words). The comments sent shockwaves through social media and ...

I'm not surprised at all by this news. Given R. Kelly's track record with underage women(being married to Aaliyah at the time), pornographic lyrics, and sex tapes, allegations about a sex cult is believable. So the story goes, R. Kelly has girls that are linked to a sex cult spread throughout the states. Allegedly he tells the girls when to eat, when to sleep, and when to shit among other things and most importantly when to have sex. Based on R. Kelly's sex drive, he likely requests the girls to have sex all the time(with him or with each other). R. Kelly has denied the allegations! I don't think I ever seen R. Kelly deny something so quickly. It seems like every once in awhile we're hit with a R. Kelly sex scandal. Remember a little while back when a man had come forward and accused R. Kelly of sleeping with his wife? The said wife was an up and coming artist that R. Kelly was mentoring. It sounds like R. Kelly was mixing business with pleasure when it came to hi...

Kelly's going down under Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my readers, followers, and supporters. I hope you all had a fun and safe Holiday. Of course I have some music news for you so here it goes! Kelly Rowland has been tapped to be the fourth judge on Australia's version of "The Voice". In a statement Rowland says "Australia is one of her favorite places". Someone said in the comments of where this story originated from and said Kelly keeps a job and I agree. Kelly stays working! Congrats Kelly!  Speaking of Kelly, R. Kelly is in hot water again, this time for running off with a man's daughter. The daughter in question is 19 years old and has been working with R. Kelly on music. It was a report that surfaced awhile back saying R. Kelly had a 19 year old girlfriend and I take it, this is she. I mean this is not news because we all know that R. Kelly likes young(er) girls. But the father is upset that R. Kelly is messing with his daughter. ...

It was announced earlier today that Mariah Carey will appear on season 3 of "Empire". Look out for that! And R Kelly has the Internet on fire today after pictures surfaced of he and his new 19 year old girlfriend. R. Kelly, who is 49 has people all up in arms but we all know R. Kelly loves young girls. Porsha Williams of "RHOA"(Real Housewives of Atlanta) was rushed to the hospital earlier today after she had trouble breathing. The reality TV star was out shopping when she collapsed. She is still under hospital care but is said to be doing "fine". I do hope she is "fine" but I tell you this, its always something going on with these ladies of ATL. I hate to say this but sometimes or a lot of the times I wonder about validity of some of the stories that circulate about these women. Nowadays it seem like a lot of the women on a lot of the reality TV shows fake storylines in order to remain relevant on the show. I do think joking about your health ...

Chingy says he is not endorsing Donald Trump after everyone came for him on social media. My thing is this, if your for Trump then stand by your choice. Don't backtrack when you get called out on it. Mariah Carey is still technically married to Nick Cannon so she won't be getting married anytime soon. Her fiance is also still married. Hmm. Nick Cannon, however did send his congratulations. And after Keshia Knight-Pulliam of "The Cosby Show" got married to Ed Hartwell, both their exes, Lisa Wu and Big Tigger were seen celebrating at one of Lisa's events. Messsssy! R. Kelly opened up, somewhat about his marriage relationship to Aaliyah. He said how much he was in love with her and how they were best friends. He didn't exactly admit their secret union out of respect for her family. He also went on to say in the GQ magazine story that he was molested at an early age. Well that is all folks! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thanks for reading! :)

Fresh from joining a few fans in the sauna, R. Kelly has unveiled the album cover and tracklisting, as well as guest appearances from his new album, "The Buffet". The album, to be released on December 11 features Jhene Aiko, Lil' Wayne, Tinashe, Jeremih, and more. The album comes in Standard and Deluxe versions. Will you be copping the new R. Kelly album? Speaking of Lil' Wayne, in addition to his "No Ceilings 2" mixtape, Wayne has paired up with 2 Chainz for "Colligrove". The mixtape is currently in the works and should be out to us very soon. Keep a look out on that. And continuing on news regarding Lil' Wayne, his ex boo, Christina Milian was in tears on her reality show last night on E! detailing the breakup of her and Wayne. Apparently she saw or caught some woman with her pants down in Wayne's house and Wayne couldn't deny it. I don't know. I really don't care either! Do you? Well until next folks! Thanks for reading! :)...

Tamar Braxton had to quit "Dancing With The Stars" after the singer thought she was battling pneumonia. Turns out that the singer is battling something more serious, blood clots around her liver. The singer posted the unfortunate news today. Get well Tamar! I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard about the video circulating around of R. Kelly in the sauna singing "Bump N Grind". Apparently a fan was in the sauna and asked if he was R. Kelly and the singer nodded yes and the rest is history. It is a little weird though that R. Kelly would sing "Bump N Grind" in a sauna with another man. :) Funny thing is, I saw the video but never watched it. I just skipped right past it! :( In entertainment news, it looks like Bravo will be adding some more "Housewives" to our small screens next year. First up is the long rumored, "Real Housewives of Dallas" followed by "Real Housewives of Potomac" which features a mostly ethni...

So R. Kelly has revealed that his new album will be titled, "The Buffet". When I first read this to myself, I laughed on the inside. I wonder what mess was R. Kelly going to hit us with this time. Explaining the album's title, he says that he wants to give all his fans, young and old a variety of music he's done over the years; the raunchy songs, the dance step songs, etc. I guess it makes sense now that he explained because at first, I was thinking the title further cemented R. Kelly's perversion. What do you think of the new album title? On a more a serious note, do you all remember when Lil' Wayne's tour bus was shot up in Atlanta? Well they apprehended the suspect who is said to be Young Thug's road manager. Isn't that crazy? So it looks like Young Thug allegedly sent his road manager for Lil' Wayne, first over the whole "Carter" album title and then his overall obsession with Wayne. What do you think? But this certainly doesn...

BATTERIES INCLUDED: So its being reported that Chris Brown is suspected of misdemeanor battery after an altercation occurred during a basketball game. Chris just got off probation and now this! More as this story unfolds. EXPO-DITION: And apparently it went down this weekend between NeNe Leakes and Wendy Williams during a Women's Expo in Atlanta. The two nemesis were set to speak back to back and apparently Wendy Williams' husband/manager was said to be all riled up backstage when NeNe took the stage. Not sure why. When NeNe was asked about the rumored rift, NeNe said she didn't speak to neither Wendy or her husband. Wendy and NeNe have a longstanding beef that dates back to 2012. NeNe was upset when Wendy criticized her HSN clothing line. NeNe went on to say that Wendy always puts down other black women. Do you agree? YOUR BODY'S CALLING: And last but certainly not least R. Kelly was also in Vegas this weekend performing when some fans got a little too close for comfo...

MUSIC BITS: BET held its annual "Black Girls Rock" show and it brought out such stars as Ciara, Tracee Ellis Ross("black-ish"), Faith Evans, Fantasia, Lalah Hatahway, Janelle Monae, and many more. The telecast will air in April on BET. The show recognizes black women in all industries who are are positive role models etc.  Destiny's Child reunited this weekend for the Stellar Awards. They performed "Say Yes" from Michelle Williams' album "Journey To Freedom". Do you guys want to see Destiny's Child get back together and do a new album or nah?  R. Kelly is being sued by a concert promoter for stiffing the promoter out of $10,000 dollars. I don't know much else in regards to this story and I really don't care. Do you? Diddy and French Montana were seen on Instagram caught in a compromising position with Diddy shirtless with his butt on French Montana. The pair were laying atop of a roof alongside other friends including Cassie....

MUSIC BITS: Happy Birthday to the late great Aaliyah. The star would of been 36 years old today. Aaliyah's life was recently chronicled in the ill-fated biopic late last year on Lifetime. Ex-husband/mentor/friend(or whatever you want to call him) R. Kelly recently spoke out about the biopic saying that for someone to play him they must know him. What do you think about that? Anyway Amber Rose is still on a mission to get Wiz Khalifa back. The socialite answered a fan's question on IG saying that she wants Wiz back. What do you all think about that? After his high profile appearance on Nancy Grace, 2 Chainz has got yet another invite from the show's host herself. Will he accept it? I guess we will have to wait and see. But something you can see now is the messiness going on between former lovebirds Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. Jordin was on The Breakfast Club and said that Jason leased her BMW car and didn't buy it but he clapped back and show receipts that he did in...

Remember last year when Danity Kane announced they were reuniting? All five fans rejoiced when the now trio released their hit single Lemonade featuring Tyga. Shortly after the release of Lemonade , Danity Kane had some inner group squabbles which resulted in a fight between Dawn Richard and Aubrey O'Day in a recording studio. Danity Kane later released their DK3 (I think that's the name of it) album to little fanfare. If that wasn't enough original member Aundrea previously reunited with the group but for some reason dropped out. I'm not really sure why but I remember people saying she couldn't keep up with the footwork on tour and she was probably tired of all the arguing going on within the group again. And just two months ago Jodeci reunited after 20 said years to perform a bevy of their hits on the Soul Train Awar ds. Everyone was delighted to see the group reunite but not particularly delighted when it was clear that lead singer K-Ci was lip syncing the ...

I think Lifetime should opt out of doing biopics unless it deals with some stylized murderer or serial killer. I don't think music biopics are their thing and they proved that last night. Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B which is based on the book Aaliyah: More Than A Woman aired last night on Lifetime. Before the movie's inception, there had been a storm of controversy from everything to who should play Aaliyah to Lifetime being involved in the movie's depiction. If that wasn't enough gossip maven Wendy Williams became executive producer. With Wendy being attached, we were sure we were going to get the goods but we got that and then some. What we got was a lot of bad acting, inaccurate storylines(to viewers anyway), and wrong choice of actors. None of the actors looked remotely close to who they were portraying. Actress Alexandra Shipp doesn't look like Aaliyah at first glance though I would say they look like they could have come from the same tribe. The depict...

HAPPY COUPLE: Trey Songz and Mila J are the newest couple of the scene. The two collaborated on Trey's new album Trigga on the song Disrespectful. The two are seen cuddling up together in pictures. What do you think about Trey Songz and Mila J. being a couple? Judging from the picture I've seen the two make a good couple. I just feel like Trey is a playboy and doesn't look like the type to settle down anytime soon but then again maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. MUSIC BITS: Rick Ross has hooked up with R. Kelly for his new single, Keep Doing That(Rich Girl) and will be released soon. Rick Ross' new album Hood Billionaire will be available this November. Jhene Aiko debuts at #3 on The Billboard 200 Album charts with her album Souled Out . The album sold 69,000 copies in its first week. Chris Brown's new album X is slated to debut at #2 next week with sales upwards of 135,000 to 200,000 units. 

PISSED OFF: Fans of R. Kelly are upset with the singer after he bailed out of a Labor Day weekend performance in Columbus. The fans went as far as to call out the King of R&B for his lewd past including the rumors of his sexual dealings with minors. R. Kelly's publicist responded saying that Kellz would perform at a later date and time but fans weren't buying it. Turns out fans were really looking forward to seeing the Pied Piper of R&B piss on stage! I mean things like this happen all the time. Artists cancel tour dates or for whatever reason something happens with the promoters. I'm sure it wasn't nothing personal and only business. I don't think the fans or the people should of lashed out on him like that but then again what do I know? Besides his publicist even issued a statement saying he'd perform at a later date. Besides I feel like if and when he does reschedule his spot date there, the fans will come out in droves with their black panties ready...

SHE: Keyshia Cole has revealed a snippet of her new single, She which will be released on Tuesday. It is the newest single being released from Keyshia's new album Point Of No Return due this Summer. Keyshia's last two singles, Rick James and Next Time haven't performed that well but maybe She will be more successful. I guess we shall wait and see. 2ND KELLY: Though its been a lot of upheaval regarding Aaliyah's upcoming biopic for Lifetime, the producer of the movie has spoken. According to Debra Martin Chase, the film will explore Aaliyah's relationship with R. Kelly. If that is not reason enough to watch this movie I'm not sure what else is. Forget everything else. This is the story I want to hear. MUSIC BITS: Omarion and his girlfriend just had a their second baby shower. Wait! I didn't know people had more than one baby shower. And I read that Tyrese was caught trying to get at Lashontae Jennings(Nelly's ex). Whew! Lashontae gets hit on pretty r...

Any news is better than no news.  LOVE & CHILD SUPPORT: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's Stevie J aka Steven Jordan was arrested earlier this morning for back child support. He owes upward of over $1,000,000. Wasn't it just last month that Stevie J was arrested for marijuana possession? My gosh! These reality TV stars. As far as the children situation, you got to take care of your kids. No wonder why he made Joseline get an abortion. He knew his ass already had enough children! NO LONGER 'TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET': R. Kelly's daughter has come and revealed that she wants to live life as a trans gender male. She know wants to be known as simply Jay. Jay's Mother Andrea Kelly of Hollywood Exes fame has come to the support of her child. Now everyone is just waiting on R. Kelly's response. SAMPLE THIS: Jennifer Lopez has released the snippets from her new 10 track album A.K.A. due on June 17. The album features the singles I Luhh Ya Papi featuring French Monta...

Kelly Price sits down with Thisis50.com and dishes on everything from doing background work for Mariah Carey to R. Kelly farting in the studio. Check out Part 1 of 2 of this exclusive interview.

Any news is better than no news. Love & Jailhouse Rock: Stevie J from Love & Hip Hop fame was arrested on Friday for drug trafficking. The famed reality TV star is said to face a judge on Monday. Hollywood Exes: R. Kelly's ex-wife Drea Kelly is an ex-wife again! The ex-wife of R. Kelly turned reality TV star wed her boyfriend of six months Brian and is now divorcing him after only two months of marriage. We were recently introduced to Brian via Hollywood Exes. The divorce stems from Brian being called out for asking women for money to help pay of debts and several other bills. Well the tweets were shared with Drea who at first was in denial but finally woke up and smelled the coffee. Good for her! Cancelled Tour: August Alsina recently cancelled a tour that only sold 2,000 tickets. The cocky singer figured he was too good or perhaps too big to perform her only 2,000 people. Shit! He should be lucky 2,000 people want to see him in concert. Not only has August offende...
