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 ...

Trey Songz says Nicki Minaj wasn't "shit" before appearing on his hit single, "Bottoms Up". He also goes to say he's had issued with fellow singer, August Alsina. August replied afterwards and threatened to whoop Trey's "goofy ass". Trey also said that Chris Brown and the whole Soulja Boy fiasco was "corny" among other things. Trey Songz' new album, "Tremaine" is streaming now. Have you listened?  "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks has found out her divorce has been thrown out. On the show, it was reported that her divorce was final but a judge has thrown out the case citing that Phaedra inadvertently misspelled her name on the documents. I'm simply thinking Phaedra is drawing this divorce out to remain on the show because rumor has it that she's been on the chopping block. Phaedra contends that her husband, Apollo didn't want a divorce but he has definitely moved on from her as h...

Kenya's story line will be a focal point for season 9 of "RHOA" I'm a huge fan of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and with season 9 approaching and no shortage of news when it comes to the show's stars, I figured I'd do a rundown of what we can expect in the new season. Now all of this info I have is based on rumors and stories that have been planted appeared on the blogs.  I apologize as this particular post is pretty lengthy but if you are a "Housewives" fan, you will enjoy this post. Thanks! Kenya Moore is in the news again, this time for her relationship with on again and off again trainer, Matt Jordan. Matt took to social media Saturday saying that Kenya cancelled a plane ticket she bought for him to attend the grand opening of Peter Thomas' bar in Charlotte, NC. Months ago, the two had a lover's spat in Mexico, where Matt was accused of knocking down doors and calling Kenya all out of her name. Kenya has responded bac...

Eve is headed on tour with her former collaborated Gwen Stefani. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen(sp) just had a baby! Congrats! R.I.P. to actress Doris Roberts who played on "Everybody Loves Raymond". Rihanna's "Work" featuring Drake is #1 on the Hot 100 for the 9th week. Beyoncé's short film is to be released this week on HBO April 23 9 P.M. EST and her accompanying album is said to be locked in for release this month, no one knows the date though except Beyoncé and her team. K. Michelle's music has been banned by some radio stations after her spat with Angela Yee on "The Breakfast Club". I watched the said interview and K. Michelle was really way out of line if you ask me. I feel she was just turning up for the cameras. She criticized Angela Yee for bringing up a story brought to her by rapper Uncle Murda who alleges K. Michelle has a stinky vagina! K. Michelle thought it was in poor taste for Angela Yee to bring it up. K. Michelle's mai...

So the Grammy nominations came out yesterday and no one was more upset than Omarion. The R&B star/reality TV star felt snubbed after his single, "Post To Be" featuring Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko failed to get a nomination. Omarion took to Twitter to express his disdan and in turn caught a lot of flack for his words. Do you think Omarion should of been nominated? I was listening to "The Breakfast Club" this morning and they had some valid points about Omarion's argument. First, the song was a hit, no doubt. But also they said that Omarion won a Soul Train award but didn't show up to accept the award. But artists want to be acknowledged by the Grammy awards and then when they are not, they cry wolf. Many artists want to be acknowledged by the Grammys because the Grammys are the most prestigious award a musician can receive. Think of it this way, a Grammy to a musician is what an Oscar is to an actor. Going back to what I was saying though, some musicians...

Ashanti appeared on "The Real" where she was grilled about her new man who she described as 6 foot 4 and 290 lbs. She stated that her new boo is not in the music industry either. We did some digging and its none other than San Francisco 49ers player Darren Dockett. Though this is not new news to most people. The two have actually been dating for quite a while. I believe the two met over Twitter where they have exchanged convo in the past. Interesting thing about Dockett is he's rumored to be gay and I thought he had a domestic dispute in the past. But if she likes it, I love it! In other music news, Rich Homie Quan called out Young Thug last night at a concert and now the two are beefing on social media. Apparently Quan made some homophobic comments and name dropped Young Thug. If I'm correct I believe these two had fallen out before over some other stuff, not sure what though. But the way these two carry on, one would think that they were more than friends! :) And ...

Mariah Carey has finally responded to a shady comment she made many eons ago in response to Jennifer Lopez. When asked if she knew Jennifer Lopez, Mariah responded with "I don't know her!" and Mariah said she never said it to be intentionally funny but fans ran with it and it fueled the feud between her and Lopez. What do you think? I so remember the video and interview and it was very shady and very funny. It's actually one of my favorite Mariah Carey moments. Chris Brown is releasing his new album "Royalty" on December 18. The album features the singles "Zero", "Back To Sleep", and "Liquor". Will you be copping the new Chris Brown album? I will say Chris puts these albums out like clockwork. He definitely doesn't waste time or keeps his fans waiting 14 years or more for an album. And Erykah Badu appeared on "The Breakfast Club" this morning and she talked about her relationship with Common among others noting t...

Congratulations are in order for Omarion and his girlfriend Apryl Jones. They are expecting their second child together. The pair revealed their news via social media earlier today. In other news, Drake has scored his 100th Hot 100 hit this week. The rapper saw multiple songs from his new album with Future debut on the Hot 100 chart this week. Lil' Wayne stands as the male artist with the most Hot 100 entries with 127. At the rate Drake is going he might be catching up pretty soon. But I'm sure Lil' Wayne will continue to dominate for awhile. He's always featured on someone's song and I'm sure he has a new album on the way in the future. The Game's still controversial interview on "The Breakfast Club" has all his nemesis taking action. Game mentioned he would break the jaw of DJ Star of Star & Buckwild fame. Star alleges that Game is upset because he wasn't allowed on his radio show. Anyway the threat was told to police and now Game is a ...

Former Danity Kane members Aubrey O'Day and Shannon Bex visited the infamous radio show, "The Breakfast Club" two days ago and they spilled a lot of tea. First they say Dawn was the main culprit for the group's split the second time. Aubrey alleges that back in the day, Dawn was responsible for creating rumors about certain members of Danity Kane and it was discovered on their fansite that the IP address of an user being rude was that of Dawn's. Aubrey also spoke about the time that Dawn came up to the studio to reconcile with Shannon and Aubrey over a mix up in tour dates which resulted in Dawn soccer punching Aubrey in the head. Aubrey also dished on her relationship with "Basketball Wives" star, Tami Roman, Diddy, Lupe Fiasco, and her boyfriend, singer Travis Garland. All in all, it was a very great interview and you should log on to YouTube to check it out if you haven't already. If that ain't enough for you, Ciara says that her and her new...

RING A DING: So apparently Meek Mill gave Nicki Minaj some sort of ring that she's been showing off on social media, rightfully so I guess. I'm guessing its a promise ring. I'm sure its no engagement ring then again stranger things have happened. Is Hip Hop's newest couple headed for the altar? I guess we will have to wait and see. Meanwhile some other girl started sporting her ring which is the same as the one Nicki Minaj has been sporting. Next thing you know Meek Mill and this girl are going back and forth. If you really wanna know more you can just check their social media accounts on Instagram and you'll see all this and more. WIZ KID: In other music news, wait is there anymore? I did read that Wiz Khalifa just scored his second #1 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100. Its whatever the name of the song is from the "Fast & Furious 7" soundtrack. Congrats to him! MARRIED MAN: In some other noteworthy news, Tia Mowry-Hardrict(not sure on the spelling...

HEART BREAKER: So just when we thought Keyshia Cole was reuniting with her husband, we were sadly mistaken. The couple showed up hand in hand at Keyshia's premiere party for her new show "All In". That's when the rumors started with their being a reconciliation. Now it's being revealed through Keyshia exclusively that the chances of them getting back together are slim to none. Keyshia just revealed online text messages her husband sent out to a love interest of a video he invited her too. So now Keyshia is putting him, the messages, and the strained relationship on blast again. Something tells me though this situation is providing Keyshia the material she needs for her new album. "HELP"WANTED: Speaking of new albums Kanye West has revealed that his new album is titled "So Help Me God". The rapper revealed the news last night on Twitter. When the album is being released is unknown at this time. When Kanye was on The Breakfast Club though he sai...

It is really hard to keep up with the shenanigans of some of these celebrities. It really is but here goes. BIRTHDAY BOY: So Amber Rose didn't let Wiz Khalifa see his son for his birthday but what else is new? The couple, whose now separated have been going back and forth via social media. Contrary to claims made by Amber Rose on The Breakfast Club, Wiz Khalifa says he never cheated on Amber. So who do you all believe in this mishap? Frankly I'm tired of hearing about it and this just might be the last time I report anything about it. FRENCH KISS: French Montana was seen in the studio with Blac Chyna, Tyga's ex who is know with the Jenner girl and French who is with Khloe. I wonder how that conversation with Khloe and French will go down after Khloe sees that. Personally French Montana in opinion is too much of a playboy to be taken seriously. I don't know what Khloe is thinking and what Trina was even thinking for that matter.

"OSCAR" THE GROUCH: So I was wondering how come so many musicians have Oscar parties? I'm assuming its because maybe their nominated for Best Original Song or something? I say this because Ne-Yo recently had an Oscar party and I think Madonna did too or in the past she has. Anyway I caught up on some much talked about interviews with Amber Rose and Kanye West who both appeared on The Breakfast Club days apart. Kanye was asked what the thought about Amber calling his wife "Fake" and Kanye replied that he had "to take 30 showers" after Amber to be with Kim and that was all he said. It was like he knew not to say too much because he didn't want to make the situation any worse and of course Amber replied on Twitter saying Kim "let Ray J nut on her", referring to the now infamous sextape. Personally what do you all think about this whole mess? I guess its interesting but after awhile things like this get old. And we all await the next epic ba...

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...
