Alicia Keys Talks on why She is Proud Of Rihanna

Love to see other women giving each other compliments and recognizing that others are just as successful as them and Alicia Keys is giving Rihanna major props for the way she has handled living her life in the spot light. Yes, everyone knows who’s the hottest chic in the game and that is Ms. Robyn Fenty!

Alicia says about Rihanna:

“It’s such a tricky, crazy business, and when people are a little bit younger than me, I’m always hoping that their soul is good because it can be such a soulless space… “I’m proud of Rihanna. Because it’s not easy to stand up in this crazy world and make it and keep going and try new things. And find your way through it.”

Also Legendary New York punk  innovator and songwriter Patti Smith spoke on Riri

 “Right now my favorite song is “stay” by Rihanna. Right now I like Rihanna, its all about voice interpreation, I love Rihanna’s song because of its strength and feeling, I found it moving.”

Stay has amazing lyrics, Sia who sung on Flo-Rida’s “Wild Ones’  is a great songwriter. And Rihanna puts alot of emotion in the song.

Monica Talks About Not Wanting To Take Rocko To Child Support & Being Called A Baby Momma 

Jermaine Dupri was recently in the studio with R&B songstress Monica clowning around and just having fun while recording a song in the studio. The conversation got sort of/kind of serious when the term "Baby Momma" was used and Monica revealed that she wasn't sure how she felt about that term. 

Monica also goes into detail about not ever wanting to step foot inside of a court house to try and get child support from her childrens father, Rocko. Monica says that a REAL man should be able to assess the needs of their children and handle it accordingly.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for most women and we have to end up sitting in somebody's courtroom trying to get some sort of money in order to take care of our children. Lord knows I had to take my older childrens father to court on quite a few occasions because he was dead set on not giving me anything.

After getting him locked up a few times, he got the hint that I wasn't playing any games with him and he started paying on a regular basis. However, getting back to the topic at hand, check out what Monica had to say about child support and courtrooms when you read below:

SNEAK PEEK: Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt, LaTocha Scott, Nicci Gilbert And Angie Stone TOGETHER AGAIN For The "R&B Divas" REUNION Taping

Sparks flew during the R&B Divas Atlanta Season 2 Reunion taping on Tuesday night at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.

Old fights were revisited and new friendships were solidified when Executive Producer Nicci Gilbert, Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Keke Wyatt, Monifah Carter and LaTocha Scott all joined Joe Clair to dish on the past season.

On woman who was missing in action was Faith Evans, who chose to skip the reunion to celebrate her 40th birthday. Does this mean she won't be back next season?

Singer Nicci Gilbert, who spent most of the season battling Syleena Johnson looked like an angel in white for the taping.

We wonder if her outfit was a part of the "Curvato" collection?

Nicci even blessed the reunion with a vocal selection.  Hmmm...we wonder if that "Brownstone" reunion ever happened?

Syleena Johnson spent most of the season battling Nicci and dealing with family drama as her mother, a former addict, became the newest member of her household.

LaTocha Scott, who joined the cast earlier this season, did her best to avoid the on-screen drama.

Keke Wyatt was in pretty good spirits this season as she had a hit single on the radio with Avant, "You And I".

Monifah, shown with her partner Terez, often played peace-maker this season.

DJ EQ keep the sounds flowing in between segments.

And tv personality Joe Clair played referee during the talks.

The explosive TV One reunion taping airs in two parts on June 26 and July 10 .

Flavor Flav Is About To Lose His Last Chicken & Ribs Joint

Flavor Flav's acumen as a business is looking very suspect. The Public Enemy rapper and reality star's last fried chicken joint in Michigan is in danger of closing. 

Reports TMZ:

Flavor Flav's run as a fast food mogul could be over in a matter of weeks ... because the last of his fried chicken joints has been hit with eviction papers ... TMZ has learned.

Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs in Sterling Heights, MI has been accused of stiffing its landlord out of rent since the day it opened back in December 2012.

FYI -- FFC&R is the last of 3 fried chicken joints Flav has tried to open in the past few years ... one sputtered out in Iowa in 2011 and the other one died a slow painful death in Vegas in 2012.

Now, according to court docs obtained by TMZ, the Michigan location is also on the ropes ... unless it finds a way to come up with $25,000 (missing rent + late fees + damages).

The papers show ... FFC&R was late in making its monthly $3,500 monthly rent payment back in Sept and October -- and stopped paying altogether in November.

The landlord warned Flav's restaurant about the problem back in January ... and just a few weeks ago, went back to the court in hopes a judge will kick Flav to the curb, stat. 

We called Flav about the crisis ... and he told us he had no idea the restaurant was in trouble. But the rapper insists, "I'm gonna figure out what's going on and get to the bottom of this ASAP!"

Flav is currently on the latest season of VH1's Couples Therapy. He is also going on trial for threatening his girlfriend/fiancee Liz Trujillo's son with a butcher knife. If convicted, the "911 Is A Joke" rapper is facing up to 12 years in prison.

You gotta get it together, Flav.

SPLITSVILLE!: MILEY CYRUS’ PARENTS CALLING IT QUITS!

Miley Cyrus has been in all types of media for starting a twerking trend amongst her vanilla-skinned fans, but now she’s dealing with some family issues.

Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus, has filed for a divorce from mullet loving Billy Ray Cyrus citing “irreconcilable differences.” Her decision to pull the plug on the marriage comes 3 years after Billy Ray filed for divorce but dropped it in an attempt to work things out.

Billy Ray and Tish have been married for 19 years and have 5 children, including, of course, Miley. There’s only one minor child left, Noah Cyrus, who is 13. Tish is asking for full physical and legal custody, with visitation to Billy Ray.

Tish is also asking for spousal support, and she wants him to pay her attorney’s fees. The date of separation is listed as TBD.

Tish tells TMZ, “This is a personal matter and we are working to find a resolution that is in the best interest of our family. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”

Janet Jackson Dishes On New Project & Love For Kendrick Lamar

Janet Jackson is working on a new project.  Woot!  Nope, she didn't let her brand new (secret) marriage and recent muslim conversion halt her music career.

She told Billboard on the anniversary of her janet album yesterday about her new project, the artists she's feeling, and how she feels about being two decades in with one of the most iconic albums (7x platinum) of all time.

May 18 marks the 20th anniversary of "janet." How would you describe what that album captures about your life at that time?

I can’t believe it is already 20 years! I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. I wanted to allow people in... I want my fans to really know me. The ‘janet’ album was sexual and I was beginning to really discover that side of me.

There are musical references and direct samples of janet. songs all over the place now, most notably on Kendrick Lamar's "Poetic Justice." Have you heard most of these re-interpretations (Moon Boots' "Sugar," which samples "If," How To Dress Well's cover of "Again," MNEK's "That's The Way Love Goes" etc?) And how does it feel to see your work have such impact on new artists?

I have listened to the music that is out there and I love Kendrick’s "Poetic Justice." There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.

Several of the songs on janet. and their accompanying videos were groundbreaking at the time for their overt sexuality. Why was it so important for you to express that part of yourself in your work, and how did you convince others around you at the time to let you take those risks?

Like I said before, I write about my experiences or things that touch me deeply. I was really beginning to get in tune with my sexual self. This is what I wanted to express so I did. The decision to move forward in an artistic way is mine. I didn’t need to convince anyone.

The videos and tour for "janet." featured some iconic choreography from Tina Landon, most notably on 'If.' Do you have a favorite dance or video from that period?

Tina Landon and Omar Lopez choreographed "If". I love "That’s The Way Love Goes," "You Want This" and especially "If." I don’t think people really realize what we were showing in that video that wasn’t available with technology then. The video featured futuristic technology, specifically high definition touch screens. I wanted the actors in the video to use these screens to communicate, and relate with each other in the clubs. Similar to what we all do with our smart phones and tablets today. As I look at our lives now, it seems that life is imitating art. I have seen different elements from all of these videos in lots of artists work and it’s a great feeling to know that you have inspired them in such a way.

Many artists cite you as a role model and a huge influence on their career and image. Which artists today do you admire?

I'm flattered that other artists consider me a role model. I’m really enjoying what Bruno Mars and Adele are doing, a lot of artistry there.

And she says about releasing her first project since 2008's Discipline:

“I am working on a new project now. We are creating the concept and initial thoughts on the music.  I am excited about the direction we are taking. I don’t want to rush it… I don’t want to put a time constraint on the creative process.”

We'll be (impatiently) waiting....

The Celebs Hit The "Fast & Furious 6" Hollywood Premiere!

The cast and their celeb friends came out for for the premiere and afterparty for Universal Pictures' "Fast & Furious 6" premiere at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Hollywood. 

Co-stars Ludacris and Tyrese hit their Fast 6 premiere with friends in tow.

Tyrese used the carpet for some pub and brought his music acts out--Ginuwine and Tank from TGT and Lyndriette Kristal Smith, his new artist he's mentoring it seems.  He's brought her on many-a-carpets lately.  And we all know how the mentee/mentor relationship usually ends up.  Mmmhmmm....

Ludacris brought his fab girlfriend Eudoxie out as his date as she rocked a white hot dress.

And he remained the gentleman as he gave her his coat at the afterparty.  Awww.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa made an understated appearance at the premiere.

2 Chainz rocked all white and hit the carpet, then performed at the afterparty.

Rocsi Diaz kept it colorful in this cute multi-print cocktail dress by Clover Canyon and orange platform Jimmy Choo sandals.

"BBW LA" hottie Gloria Govan showed off some major cleavage (and that's either double sided tape or nipple piercings under that sheer top) with her NBA baller hubby Matt Barnes.

At the afterparty:

Actor/rapper Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, actress Gal Gadot and actor/producer Vin Diesel posed it up.

The fellas had some fun.

And Vin Diesel kept it swexy.

Fast 6 hits theaters TODAY!

Skylar Diggins Gifted With A Benz As A Graduation Gift From Jay-Z

Kordell Stewart CHANGED THE LOCKS On Porsha!!

Well I guess former NFL player, Kordell Stewart thinks he till playing football, and wants to lockout out his soon to be ex-wife Porsha Stewart.

According to Porsha, things have gotten so bad that Kordell has changed the locks on that ass and left her out in the cold.

According to TMZ:

According to docs, filed in family court in Georgia, Porsha claims Kordell has locked her out of their residence on multiple occasions … and she had to have her lawyer beg Kordell’s people for a key.

Sources close to the situation tell us Kordell isn’t playing ball — and hasn’t forked over a key.

But there’s more … according to the docs, Porsha tried to work things out with Kordell in a mediation session, but she claims he blew the whole thing off … and called it a “waste of everyone’s time.”

Porsha wants a judge to force Kordell to either allow her to use the house … or pay her enough cash so she can get a “suitable alternative residence.”

Sources tell us Porsha is currently living with her mom in ATL — guess she feels it’s just not a “suitable residence” for a grown woman.”

Well Kordell has now responded to the claims. According to legal documents obtained by HipHollywood, Stewart went on to clarify that he changed the locks after the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star abandoned the residence on April 2.

“(Porsha) established a routine of leaving (the) pre-marital residence without explanation and without consideration of the detrimental effects such behavior would have on the parties’ marriage, and (Kordell’s) nine year old son,” the Civil Action File states before revealing that Stewart also notified Williams via text message reading;

“Hey reaching out not knowing who may or may not have keys to the house at this point, I was concerned for our safety so I changed the locks on the house. If and when you need to get in give me a heads up so you can get in.”

Since experiencing the abrupt changes at her former estate, Williams has reportedly resorted to staying with her mother. The former couple currently have a temporary hearing scheduled for June 10.

Mannie Fresh Recalls Kanye West Wanting A Deal At Cash Money

Mannie Fresh explains how he and West have different work practices. Fresh adds that his work with Mystikal will "mysteriously come out.

Mannie Fresh has known Kanye West a long time, even before West became a bona fide producer nearly a decade ago. "He actually came to Cash Money looking for a deal," Mannie Fresh says in an interview with DJ Vlad. "I've been knowing him since then."

Fresh and West met when West was working with rapper Mikkey Halsted, whom Cash Money eventually signed. At the time, West was without production equipment, so Fresh says he lent the Chicagoan his. "This was my first introduction to him," says Fresh, who considers West one of the great producers. "The only thing I could say is that it was a blessing because he came back and looked back. Without knowing him, I just felt like he was a good dude and lent him some equipment or whatever to do what he had to do and he never forgot about it."

Earlier this year, Fresh signed a song deal with West.

Though they are both producers, Fresh says that he and West have different work practices. "I'm better at being in a studio with somebody than sending them beats," as West often does, Fresh says. "That's just not really my thing, but everybody's so used to that, so that's the standard. I'm more of like, 'Hey, dude, let me get in the studio and let's see what we come up with.'"

As for his work with Mystikal, Fresh says that the material the two recorded will not come out on Mystikal's forthcoming Young Money Records album, but that they will "mysteriously come out."

Chris Brown manages to perform at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards despite receiving numerous death threats.

The misfortunes of Virginia crooner Chris Brown continue to mount as news of various death threats the singer has received have begun to surface. According to TMZ, Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, received a number of anonymous phone calls at his office threatening the singer’s life.

Authorities were immediately contacted by Geragos and the threats are currently being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

I drop my new single “Somebody Else” ft. Nicki Minaj, produced by Polow Da Don, on iTunes. I hope this new song breathes new life into R&B and where I’m gonna take it! I want to thank you all for your patience… the wait is over!!

Jennifer Lopez Creeping with Marc Anthony?

With her boy toy Casper Smart in LA Jennifer Lopez and her ex husband Marc Anthony shack up at the same hotel in New York.

Should Casper Smart be worried?

Jennifer Lopez just can’t seem to stay away from her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. While her boy toy boyfriend was out in Los Angeles choreographing her American Idol performance, JLo stayed behind in NYC with her ex, RadarOnline.com has learned, even staying at the same hotel!

In town for the NuvoTV up fronts, JLo shacked up at Marc’s fave spot, ironically named The Mark. Her boyfriend was back in Los Angeles, but her ex was in town for the Telemundo up fronts, and stayed at the Upper East Side spot as well, according to a source.

“She previously stayed at The London, so it definitely seemed suspicious,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “The London is almost two miles closer to where the up fronts are, so it seemed like she was just staying at The Mark to be closer to Mark.”

And while the former spouses were too busy to organize any public time together this week, they have a history of secret rendezvous at that hotel.

Back in January, JLo sent Casper out of town just in time for her to meet up with her ex for two hours at The Mark, as RadarOnline.com previously reported.

Marc split up with his girlfriend, Shannon de Lima, shortly after that.

Marc and JLo will be reunited again on the big screen when her 3D movie Dance Again premieres later this year. The movie covers the couple’s divorce drama and ongoing relationship.

Mary J. Blige Slapped With $3.4 Million Tax Lien

Queen of R&B singer Mary J. Blige has been hit with a $3.4 million dollar federal tax lien.

According to TMZ:

Mary J. Blige‘s financial woes have QUADRUPLED — on top of the $900k she allegedly owes the Garden State, TMZ has learned MJB has been slapped with a $3.4 MILLION bill from Uncle Sam.

The IRS filed a federal tax lien against the Grammy winner, claiming she failed to pay all her income taxes for the years 2009 ($574,907.30), 2010 ($2,203,743.53) and 2011 ($647,604.60).

Tax bill grand total: $3,426,255.43: Translation: A LOT OF FREAKING MONEY

Of course, the IRS needs to get in line … the State of NJ says MJB still owes $901,769.65 in back taxes. Blige is being sued for allegedly defaulting on a $2.2 million bank loan and her charity is facing a lawsuit that claims it took out a $250k loan and never paid it back

Lil Mouse Reportedly Threatened To Kill A Third-Grader

Lil Mouse hit with an assault charge after slapping and then threatening to kill an eight-year-old student.

The family of a third-grader in Chicago may be forced to leave their home due to threats the eight-year-old reportedly received from teen rapper Lil Mouse. FOX 32 News reports that the boy’s grandmother contacted authorities immediately after she received word that her grandson had been slapped and threatened by Lil Mouse.

"The students, the eighth graders have grouped up together…made a phone call and said he's snitching, He need to get killed for snitching…One of the young men's' father threatened me outside the school. I wanna move [cause] he threatened me and I believe that he's going to go through with it,” the woman revealed to Chicago’s FOX 32 News. 

WATCH:

Chicago News and Weather | FOX 32 News

Following the incident last week, Lil Mouse was questioned by police and also charged with assault.

The third-grader has been granted an emergency transfer from the school, but his grandmother, whose son was killed in 2009, hopes to fully remove her family from the situation.

"I wanna pack up and just go. I've already lost one child and I don't want to lose another one," the woman shared.

Lil Mouse, who boasts affiliation with fellow Windy City rapper Chief Keef, garnered buzz last year thanks to the release of “Get Smoked” a record that went on to receive a co-sign from Lil Wayne in the form of a remix.
