Beyonce Is NOT Pregnant, Says Tina Knowles

Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, has shot down reports that Beyonce is with child.

Rihanna: 'I Want All Black Everything In My Trailer'

According to reports, Rihanna has a bit of a black fetish.

The singer asked for one thing and one thing only while she filmed the video for her song "What's My Name"in New York over the weekend: she wants her trailer to be filled with everything black.

Towels, robes, furnishings, candles... everything black.

Who died right?!

It seems Rihanna just likes the color black a lot.

Ever since Jay-Z declared death to colors via his song "Death of Auto Tunes" it has become the usual to see celebrities dressed in all black without there being plans to attend a funeral.

Interesting to say the least...

Could the Beyonce pregnancy rumors actually be true?

Now, I'm not one to fan the fires of rumors only because most of the time they are there for pure entertainment and comedy, but something is telling me that the pregnancy rumors that were unleashed last month might have a  little validity to it.

Trina's Nude Photos: 'Yes, The Images Are Of Me'

The net has been going nuts (no pun intended) over some nude pics of Miami rapper Trina that were leaked over the weekend. The photos that were leaked off of her phone, captured racy images of her as well as images that were just plain confusing.

Trina recently spoke with MTV about the matter, stating that she has employed the help of the FBI to get to the bottom of who tried to extort money from her in exchange for her lost phone that housed the images.

[The images are] me on a very upset day — I think I was in Canada, upset crying," she explained. "Just personal stuff. Photos in the studio. I think [one] was me having an allergic reaction, breaking out. I just think it was my personal stuff and for someone to do that is so, so wrong. So now I'm actually having it looked into by the FBI and it's gonna be a bigger situation than just leaked photos. Hopefully we can deal with the situation and put an end to it.

Trina explained that the phone was missed placed when she attended the BET Hip-Hop Awards last year in October and that some of the photos that appeared on the net claiming to be of her were in fact not of her, she did not go into detail about which photo's did not belong to her.

As for the questionable skin condition and why she decided to photograph it, the rapper says that she had suffered a breakout that she was not familiar with and decided to document the rash with a photo so that she could show it to her doctor at a later date. She later revealed that it wasn't an STD, as was implied by the voice in the video that showed her leaked photos, but that the skin condition was diagnosed as Urticaria which are hives

The entire situation is just messy. Nude pics are nothing new and the leaking of them isn't either. It's just interesting that with new technology comes the urge to take a photo nude and worry about losing the phone and having the photos leaked.

Now that the situation has escalated to Trina having to sign on the FBI to catch the culprit because he/she had the dumb ass bright idea to demand $100,000 and have the funds deposited into their pay pal account is just an insult to human intelligence.

That fool needs to stay in school and never graduate.

Swizz Beatz Proposes To Alicia Keys, So They Say...

According to the rumor mill, Swizz Beatz has decided to put a ring, a 7-carat diamond ring, on Alicia Keys' ring finger on her left hand.

The proposal happened the day before Alicia's January 25th b-day, the singer turned 29.

Though a rep from Alicia has gone on record denying the engagement, only time will really tell.

I think the rumors are right on point but they want to keep it hush, hush until he finalizes his divorce, which will probably see him shelling over half of his fortune to his soon-to-be-ex-wife Mashonda...isn't that how they do it these days?

She will probably be raising all sorts of hell once she finds out that he is indeed moving on, and will be prepared to wipe the floor with him via child support and alimony.

It isn't right, but it happens too many times to count....

I'm definitely happy for Alicia and Swizz only because I dig that lovey-dovey romantic ish, but I can't help but to find it a little tacky. He hasn't even signed his divorce papers yet and he is already down on one knee asking for another woman's hand in marriage; not a good way to start a new life.

At any rate congratulations to the couple, if it is in fact true.

JENNIFER HUDSON DENIES RUMORED PREGNANCY

lol @ this pic

And here we are yet again with a pregnancy rumor and a celebrity but here's the thing, this is more like déjà vu than a repeat rumor.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Jennifer Hudson and fiancé David Otunda were expecting a second child just 4 months after she gave birth to her first kid David Otunda Jr.

Contrary to some of the reports, Jennifer's publicist is going on record to deny that Jennifer is pregnant emphasizing that she is too busy working on a movie and new music projects.

Artist Rumors: Is Nia Long referring to Beyonce?!

Is July the month dedicated to beef? Looks like the Carters can't seem to catch a break (tune in for Jay-Z's post, coming soon). Before I begin, I have to express my admiration for Ms. Nia Long. I think she is one of the underrated actress' in Hollywood and brings a heck of a lot to the table of acting that some of the Oscar winners wouldn't know if it jumped on their scripts.

Now, let's get to the so called drama that is brewing below. Apparently, Nia is not too pleased with certain R&B singers calling themselves actress' when they can't act. Fingers are pointing at Beyonce for the fuel behind this comment that Nia made in the July 2009 issue of Pride Magazine,

"I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment” she says “but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes."

The fact that the comment would come following her comment on Obsessed may be a coincidence so lets not get our jeans in a frizzy. I honestly agree with Nia. She is not saying anything spiteful or disrespect, she is giving her absolute humble opinion.

A lot of people fail to understand how hard it is to become an actress in Hollywood especially a black actress. There are a lot of hurdles actors/actress' have to go through to land a role where they are not "type casted". Judging by the movies that I have seen Beyonce act in, I have to conclude that Beyonce is a far better performer than an actress.

The entertainment business is changing immensely. The power really lies in the hands of the consumer now more than ever, and because of this a lot of business' including those that revolve around Hollywood are looking to release products that cater to a certain crowd, so they are more apt to pick a celebrity that has more fan and public appeal as appose to talent.

As a respect to the art form of acting, I think that artists that decide to take on acting need to treat it as if it is their lives. Taking steps towards being a better seasoned acting professional is the best way to garner respect, relying on just your name is not fair to the actors that have missed meals chasing their dreams. That's just my $0.02. On another note, Nia looks great and she is making me reach for my copy of Love Jones.

Artist Rumors: Kiely says that singer Joe is physically abusive?!

Imagine my surprise when I got a hold of some information regarding the oh so sultry R&B singer Joe. In some straight up twilight zone ish, former member of 3LW and Disney's Cheetah Girls, Kiely Williams, revealed that her mother suffered at the abusive hands of none other than Mr. "All The Things" himself, Joe!!

Kiely says,

"I have had my own personal experience with domestic abuse with my mother having been in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship with the R&B singer JOE for several years. I saw the toll it took on her and how difficult her recovery was. I wish Rihanna the best and hope that she gets through what I know is a terrible ordeal"- Via Missxpose.com."

Random much? I would have never even thought that he would be capable of such actions and am more so shocked at how small the world really is that he would be in a relationship with Kiely's mother; strange and some more strange.

Speaking of Joe, I guess this would be a not so great time to premiere his new video for his song "Magic"....




Nice song. He gives new meaning to don't judge a book by it's cover. Joe is gearing up to celebrate his birthday tomorrow July 5th. His album Signature is due in stores July 28th.

Artist Rumors: Rihanna is dating Kanye West?!

I battled with myself with posting this bit of info but I just could not help myself and wanted to share this love tid bit with y'all this late AM. According to MTO, Rihanna and Kanye are secretly dating after carrying on a long lasting platonic relationship. Here is where it tickles; apparently they are keeping it a secret from Jay-Z because of his protective ways *when did he become her daddy?!*. He would not approve of Kanye dating Rihanna if he found out because he knows how Ye' gets down *we all know how Kanye gets down I'm sure* .

Can the girl have a drink, some laughs, and occasional apt visits with a man without being linked to him romantically? Seems like every other week Rihanna is dating someone new. Last week it was a basketball player the week before that it was Wilmer Valderrama and now Kanye. I find this hard to believe simply because there is a significant age gap between the two, then again that didn't stop Jay-Z. If it is true, they will be the most fashion forward couple in the game and Rihanna won't have to worry about producers because Kanye is at the top of his class, I'm just sayin'.

Artist Rumors: Is Jay-Z a diva?

Here I was thinking that Beyonce was the diva of the relationship, then Jay goes ahead to make the truth crystal clear. Apparently, Jay got a little out of hand with his list of demands for his dressing room for a show he did at the University Of Arizona. The set he headlined at the university last month earned him $750,000 but drove the people behind the scenes mad.

Included in his list of demands were two bottles of 2004 Sassicaia which was $200 a bottle, another order of two bottles of $300 champagne, Sapporo beer, vodka, tequila, martini shakers, 12 shot glasses, 1 pack of Marlboro lights, good quality peanut butter and jelly, red Italian wine, a rented Maybach, and last but most definitely not least and my favorite...a request for a dressing room with a preferred air quality of 72 degrees.

Now, I completely agree with Jay about the peanut butter and jelly being high quality; I love food and I know that the last thing you want is some caked up peanut butter with watery jelly. But what is up with almost $1000 worth of liquor?! No where on that list says bottles of water, how are you supposed to replenish your thirst on stage?

Reading Jay's list taught me two things,1. Jay is officially very high maintenance (but it is worth it he can put on a good show) and 2. I clearly need to get up on my liquor game because I had to google Sassicaia.
