So the Billboard Music Awards were revealed today and Rihanna and Drake lead with the most nominations. No surprise there. Drake scored 22 nominations and Rihanna has 14 nominations. The Billboard Music Awards air in May. Will you be watching? In other news, Mariah Carey has broken up with her boy toy back up dancer. Did we see that lasting long? I didn't! It turns out that the boy toy was jealous of Mariah according to reports. He probably didn't like the fact that Mariah is still cool with her ex-husband Nick Cannon. I personally think Mariah needs an older mature gentleman but obviously not James Packer but hey what do I know? Mariah is also forging ahead with new music. She recently inked an imprint with Epic Records called Butterfly MC Records. She is slated to drop a new album sometime this year. I think she should hold off on the live performances in the meantime. But she will tour in Caesar's Palace again this Summer and she is still set to tour with Lionel Richie...

Flashback Friday pic. Wendy Williams is under fire for throwing shade at "RHOA" star Kenya Moore. Moore, who is in a battle with co-star, Shereé Whitfield over whose new house would be completed first, finds the two stars nearly comes to blows during the season 9 trailer. In the trailer, Kenya is seen saying that Shereé's mother, Thelma has her name on the house so therefore its not really Shereé's. Wendy offered her insight as she usually does making light of the fact that Kenya's own mother wouldn't even open the door for her. Kenya shared on the past season that her mother has been estranged since she was a child and won't acknowledge her. Wendy has caught a lot of flack for her comments the same way she did when she criticized the black colleges. Wendy has always been cutthroat, even during her radio days but she is starting to get nastier. I have always been a fan and supporter of Wendy. I do feel like her comments towards Kenya was harsh but Ken...

Trina gets bad In a surprising turn of events, French Montana brought out his rumored ex-girlfriend, Trina during the Miami leg of the Bad Boy reunion tour. Trina performed her underground hit song, "Fuck Boy" which many have speculated is about French Montana. French pranced around the stage with a towel on his head as Trina rapped to the backing trap, barely keeping up with it. I heard Lil' Kim also had a similar problem. Anyway, Trina also did her hit song, "Nann Nigga" sans Trick Daddy but brought the house down regardless. So, like many people I was surprised to see Trina onstage with French Montana but I guess its safe to say the two have buried whatever beef they had in the past. Good for them! Nicki Minaj has a new T-Mobile commercial and to me she looks very different. I'm not sure if she got some more work done on her face or does she have a new makeup artist. Something is off but I'm not sure what it is. It's not a bad look. She ju...
