Tyler Perry is calling BS on reports Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of his TV show "For Better Or Worse" -- claiming the rumors are "not true at all." Bobbi Kristina has a small recurring role on the show -- but reports have been circulating she called it quits before wrapping the season, storming off the set in tears. Now Tyler -- the creator of the show -- has taken to his website to dispel the rumors, writing, "There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season." Tyler writes, "Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother." He adds, "So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time."

NBA legend Allen Iverson believes his wife should be locked up for ransacking his house while he was out of the country -- this according to new legal docs. A.I. recently filed a motion for contempt in Georgia against his estranged wife Tawanna Iverson , claiming he had a basketball gig in Asia earlier this month ... and when he returned home, his house was totally gutted. According to the docs, Iverson's wife infiltrated his home while he was gone -- pillaging furniture, art, memorabilia ... and a large sum of cash. Iverson says he's asked Tawanna several times to return the stuff -- but so far, she's refused. Tawannna and A.I. have been warring since she filed for divorce last year. Last month she requested a restraining order, claiming her ex was harassing and threatening her. Now, A.I. wants a judge to hold Tawanna in contempt for harassing him ... and throw her in jail ... at least until she returns the stolen goods. He also wants an order barring her f

Rapper Gucci Mane just lost a $270,000 battle in court -- after a jewelry company in Georgia sued the rapper for stealing a buttload of diamonds ... and won. A&A Diamonds retained attorney Vivian Uchitel (no relation) to file the lawsuit earlier this year in Henry County, claiming it loaned the rapper a $130,000 diamond pinky ring ... in addition to a diamond necklace and bracelet worth $110,000. According to the lawsuit, Gucci had 15 days to pay for the goods or return them -- and he did neither ... coughing up only $40,000. A&A sued for a total of $274,523.34 -- the $200,000 jewelry balance plus interest and attorneys' fees. Gucci never showed up in court, so a default judgment was entered against the rapper in April. A lien was then placed on the rapper's property. Gucci still hasn't responded to the action.

 Well I guess its ‘Goodbye Bow Wow’ and ‘Hello Romeo’. Yesterday, Pastry co owner Angela Simmons and ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Romeo Miller were spotted out together while grabbing a bite to eat at a restaurant in West Hollywood. And this isn’t the first time that the rumored couple have been spotted out together. Last week, the two enjoyed dinner together while out with close friends at the Cheese Cake factory. Strange enough, Romeo Miller is said to be responsible for hooking up Rita Ora with Rob Kardashian and Rob K ardashian was courting Angela Simmons at some point last year. 

CIARA was recently spotted on the West Coast sporting a Chicago Bulls baseball cap over her overly bleached blonde locks. Chilling in her sweats, t-shirt, and shades, CIARA kept it incognito leaving Maria’s Nails in West Hollywood, CA. While we love the fullness and texture of her mane, we can’t cosign the blonde-almost-ashy-grey color. The singer has been on a musical hiatus for a while, we hope she isn’t taking a break from keeping her hair tight and right as well. Tell us, do you like the new color?

In the latest series of family drama between BOBBI KRISTINA and her old man BOBBY BROWN , allegedly BOBBI KRIS is refusing to attend her dad’s June 15th wedding to fiancee ALICIA ETHERIDGE. Numerous reports are swirling that BOBBI seriously dislikes her dad’s fiancee – and considering BOBBI’s already strained relationship with her dad, it’s not hard to see why she’s not participating in the upcoming nuptials. BOBBI is also still grieving the loss of her late mother, pop legend WHITNEY HOUSTON, who was found dead just four short months ago. Her dad’s abrupt exit from WHITNEY’s funeral reportedly did not sit well with his daughter, and the feud still hasn’t been settled over that incident. But still, BOBBY insists that he still strives to maintain the relationship with his daughter. In an interview with Matt Lauer earlier this month, BOBBY assured, “I am her father. She talks to me about everything.” Do you think BOBBY KRISTINA is justified in not attending the wedding?

KANYE and KIM KARDASHIAN couldn’t be more in love. The proud rapper posted a few pictures of his girlfriend KIM giving sexy face in a series of pictures posted on his Twitter page. The reality star was snapped in a deep V neck dress showing a whole lot of cleavage, both solo and with her man ‘YE. The couple have been completely boo’d up lately,jet setting and making appearances both separately and together over the last few weeks.

After the Tahiti finale this past Monday, and a post on a personal blog, reports surfaced that JENNIFER WILLIAMS would not be returning back to Basketball Wives next season. However, the reports are false. A rep for WILLIAMS recently confirmed with the YBF that WILLIAMS will return for future seasons, and that her most recent blog entry titled, “G-code,” may have been misleading. ”Jennifer is not saying goodbye to the Basketball Wives series. Her blog was meant to clarify where she stands in regards to the drama that took place during the season finale in Tahiti, not as a goodbye letter.”   READ HER BLOGPOSTS HERE Tell us, do you think JEN is back tracking?

In the last few weeks, TAMI ROMAN has been public enemy #1. After an episode that showed ROMAN’s not so nice side toward fellow cast member KEISHA NICHOLS , people became enraged and disturbed how a woman could simply be so, mean. Forced off Twitter, due to much of the backlash she received for her comments and behavior, ROMAN is now linked back in to social networking site. ROMAN discusses her thoughts on the use of the word “bully,” her relationship with ROYCE REED, how EVELYN operates, and exactly what her man thinks of all the drama!   Since you started the show, you and Royce have been extremely close, but we barely see her this season with the other girls. What is it that makes you and Royce so cool? TR: Because in all honesty from the minute I met Royce until today she’s been the same person. She was just real with me and I can always respect somebody that just comes 100%. I may not agree with everything you’re saying but if you just give me the real then I can respect t

Lil Wayne and Drake say there is NO WAY IN HELL they're gonna fork over $400,000 to a company that sued them for allegedly bailing on a club appearance ... because they claim they were never told about the gig. The rappers have joined together to fight a default judgment entered against them. The judge ordered the duo to pay $432,337.50 to Imperial Entertainment Group. The company sued, alleging L.W. and Drake promised to perform at a 2011event but were no shows. The rappers now claim in legal docs ... they were never told about the appearance, never signed ANY contracts and were never even served with papers to show up in court. Drake and Lil Wayne allege that IEG used a third party to book them -- Melanzh Enterprises -- which they claim had no authority to book them. The two want the court to cancel the $400k plus judgement ... STAT.

NBA legend Allen Iverson is calling BS on his estranged wife, who's trying to score a restraining order against him -- insisting he NEVER harassed her or her family. Iverson just filed new legal docs in Fulton County, GA -- asking a judge to throw out Tawanna Iverson's bid for a protective order.  Tawanna claims Allen "has engaged in increasingly contemptuous, threatening, and disturbing behavior" over the last few months ... and she's afraid things will get worse. Them's strong words. A judge has yet to rule.

List of things Flavor Flav apparently thinks are a joke -- 911 and child support. The legendary Public Enemy rapper is behind on his child support payments to his baby mama in Albany, NY to the tune of $111,186 ... which has him now facing a prison sentence of 180 days. Under a support agreement, Flav is required to pay $837.72 a week to Angie Parker to support the couple’s three children. Flav failed to show up for a court hearing this week, says the NY Daily News , so an Albany County magistrate recommended the jail sentence -- and revoking his driver’s license and passport. He must appear in Albany Family Court on June 19.

Sean Kingston is the tenant from hell -- at least according to a Miami landlord, who claims the singer rented her giant $25,000-a-month mansion last year, trashed the place, and skipped out on a $70,000 bill. Sean fled Miami last fall because of nightmares stemming from his horrific jet ski crash months prior -- Sean couldn't stand the constant sound of the ocean, so he moved to Hollywood. But according to a new lawsuit, filed in Miami, Sean and his mother -- who was also living in the house -- left behind a trail of destruction ... broken landscaping lights, sprinkler heads, holes in the wall, and broken railing around the waterfront dock. The landlord claims Sean and his mother caused $21,397 in damages to the property -- but that's just the tip of the iceberg ... because when they suddenly left the house in October, they allegedly breached the rental agreement by taking off before the lease was up. Per the rental agreement, the landlord claims Sean owes two mo

Mary J. Blige's charity is more TAKE than give ... this according to a bank which claims it lent the foundation $250,000 ... but only got $400 back. The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now is being sued by TD Bank over a $250k loan it took out back in June 2011. According to a suit filed earlier this month in New York, the foundation agreed to pay the money back by December 2011, but when the time came to collect ... the org. had only put a $368.33 dent into the principal. The bank claims it has demanded payment in writing on February 7 and 29, but hasn't heard back from the foundation. This lawsuit isn't the only troubles with which the foundation is dealing. It didn't file a federal tax return for 2010 .. so says the NY Post , and it's also being sued by musicians from a 2011 fundraising gala who claim when it came time for payment they were stiffed. A rep for Blige tells TMZ, "The Mary J. Blige and Stev

106 and Park host ROSCI DIAZ was spotted out and about holding hands and kicking cans with megastar actor/comedian EDDIE MURPHY . Thursday MURPHY, sporting a red Adidas track suit, left his local Coffee Bean with possible new boo BET VJ ROSCI DIAZ. The two held hands as MURPHY led DIAZ back to his Mercedes-BenZ. DIAZ who will soon leaving her gig at BET, is currently pursuing an acting career, starring in the upcoming film ‘Soul Ties’. ROSCI and EDlIE? You think this is love or a strategic business move? ***Update: ROSCI has since denied dating MURPHY telling Global Grind, “”We are not dating we were just getting coffee.”

Reverend Marvin Winans -- the guy who MC'd Whitney Houston's funeral service -- should NOT have been driving when he was carjacked last week ... because his license was suspended. In fact, Winans is a wanted man -- with an active warrant out for his arrest, this according to DetroitNews.com. Marvin -- whose family members are gospel music legends -- reportedly lost his driving privileges on May 9th after failing to pay 2 tickets issued back in December ... one for impeding traffic and the other from a previous driving on a suspended license incident. After missing his court date, a judge issued a warrant for Marvin's arrest on March 15 -- two months before Winans was carjacked at a Detroit gas station. As we previously reported, Winans claims he was approached by 4 men ... who roughed him up and jacked his Infinity SUV. Winans' rep released a statement saying, "The issue is being addressed ... A lot of that is handled by his administrative team, no

T-Boz might be forced to travel in the passenger side of her best friend's ride ... 'cause Honda is gunning to repossess the rapper's car. She is being sued by Honda for failing to make payments on her 2005 Honda Odyssey. In the lawsuit, filed in Georgia, Honda asks the judge for the green light to take the car back. It's unclear how much T-Boz owes in back payments. It's just the latest in a string of financial woes for the 42-year-old rapper -- she filed for bankruptcy back in 2011 ... but failed to complete the required paperwork ... and lost the protection bankruptcy provides. In other words, there's NOTHING stopping T-Boz's creditors from coming after all of her possessions.

 When it comes to hair no one is more daring and fearless than pop star RIHANNA . From bright Raggedy Anne red to sun-kissed blonde ringlets, there is nothing RIHANNA won’t try when it comes to a hair change. Yesterday the Bajan beauty teased us with a picture of her rocking a jet black dread locks that she captioned on Instagram, “Wake bake shake dem dreads.” Later in the day the dreads, pulled up in high ponytail, made a debut appearance as she performed “Where Have You Been” on the Season 11 finale of American Idol. Will her new hair ‘do start a trend, or is it dread-ful? 

WILL SMITH has spoken about slapping a journalist at the Moscow red carpet premiere of Men in Black III . Speaking on Tuesday night’s Late Show with David Letterman , the Hollywood megastar stuck by his action and said pimp slapping Ukrainian reporter Vitalii Sediuk was a warranted response. SMITH told LETTERMAN,”I didn’t beat up a guy! We’re doing an interview and he says, ‘I’m your biggest fan, can I have a hug?’ So I go to give this joker a hug, and he tries to lean in and kiss me! It’s just awkward.” “They were saying, ‘We’re sorry, that’s just his schtick’. Well that’s why his ass got schtuck.” The 43-year-old has been busy in recent weeks promoting Men in Black III, his first film since 2008′s Seven Pounds .

The drama between R&B singer USHER and ex-wife TAMEKA FOSTER is a train wreck. We don’t know how but it seems like as much is being shared in the courtroom, is being shared outside the courtroom and onto social networking sites. Earlier this week a photograph of TAMEKA smirking in the background while USHER stood at the forefront looking stressed was posted on the the singer’s Facebook, and upset his ex-wife. In response Foster decided to hit back by posting how she felt on Twitter, ‘’God & truth are my publicists! Who shall I fear? I’m armed with the truth, but sadly u may never hear it. As long as my family & I know.’’ She continued, ‘’Thanks 4 ur well wishes& prayers. Its just ME against a major ‘machine’. So things will appear one side. Oh the power of PR teams.’’ Their court battle if expected to continue a few more days before a verdict is reached – get the popcorn!!!

There’s been a barade of online boycotts, negative tweets, and remorseful blog posts exchanged about this season of Basketball Wives. There were scenes that made us shake our heads in disbelief, and others where the bullying was so extreme it made us cringe. Backlash from fans has been so severe that executive producer SHAUNIE O’NEAL , along with VH1 and Shed Media, issued public apologies for the show’s negative content. In a rehearsed statement leaked from the reunion show, SHAUNIE plead, “I think my voice is being resonated and Shed Media and VH1 have heard me. We’re all on this page of getting some balance and getting some good and positive content.” But this statement hasn’t pacified fans, who continue to lash out at the reality stars for their childish and violent behavior. The petition to have EVELYN LOZADA yanked from the air has gained over 29,000 signatures, and now one been waged against TAMI ROMAN . But here’s a solution that’ll really work if fans want to see Basket

Remember that top secret photo shoot that EVELYN, CHRISSY and KANDI leaked on twitter just a couple of weeks ago? Well yesterday it was revealed that VIBE Magazin e, along with TAMAR, chose these ladies to grace the cover of the June/July “sexy” issue as the “role models.” Like it or not, all eyes are on the queen B’s of reality TV – and they had a whole lot to dish on their negative portrayals on the show, backlash from disheartened fans, and what really goes on behind the scenes of reality TV production. Check out snippets from their group interview below: E VELYN on Star Jones and the petition : “I think [Star] is going to have to get a whole lot of names. Actually, I like the petition and I like the controversy because I’ve learned controversy is good. But I think she’s irrelevant. And she’s using our coattails to get relevant again. Nobody gives a f*ck about her.” CHRISSY on how producers conjure up drama: ”They would go as far as telling the new girl, ‘Chrissy thinks she

Apparently rapper SHAWNNA has resurrected, and come back with words of wisdom for female rappers currently in the game. When asked how she feels about the lack of unity of female rappers in the hip hop game, SHAWNNA says their is alot to learn from their male counterparts. “What they don’t understand is, that’s where they want us to be,” SHAWNNA told Shade 45′s Sway In The Morning on female rappers beefing in the industry. LUDACRIS ‘ protege continued, “In the game right now the list goes on of the that are winning and eating and making money and creating songs together…doing shows. But when it comes to the girls we do this cat thing, this process of elimination where they can only be one woman winning at one time.” “We’re the only reason that [beef] exists. If we were to start networking and communicate with each other, create avenues and outlets for each other you would see more women out and more women being successful in hip-hop,”she said. When askedabout NICKI and KIM ‘

Usher broke down in tears yesterday in an Atlanta court -- after his ex-wife's attorney insinuated he cares more about partying than he does about his children. Usher was on the stand for hours in his ongoing custody trial with his ex Tameka Foster -- and during questioning, Tameka's lawyer whipped out photos of the singer partying in Europe in February. Usher's fighting for more custody with his kids -- but Tameka's lawyer was trying to prove he'd rather go wild at a nightclub than be a good dad. Usher was also grilled about his alleged drug use. The singer admitted to smoking pot in the past, but when the subject turned to his alleged ecstasy use Usher's lawyer objected. Usher insisted he never used drugs in front of the children -- an allegation Tameka made early in their custody fight -- but hedged on the subject of seeing his children while under the influence. The trial will continue today.

Young Buck won't be a free man much longer --  the rapper has agreed to serve 18 months in prison for gun possession, following a massive IRS raid on his Nashville home in 2010.

The judge signed off on the plea deal already but won't formally sentence the rapper 'til July 13th.

Ray J crashed and burned the morning after the Billboard Music Awards ... and landed in the hospital ...  Ray J was extremely upset after his confrontation with Whitney Houston's family -- notably Pat Houston -- during the awards ceremony. On Monday morning, someone went into Ray J's hotel room and realized the singer was "out of it" and couldn't get out of bed.  Ray J was extremely disoriented and was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance. As for what happened ... it's looking like a combo of exhaustion and dehydration. Ray J had just returned from a quick, 32-hour round trip to China for business and when he landed he immediately drove 4 hours to Las Vegas for the awards show. Ray J is still in the hospital. No word on when he'll be released.

In 2012 ‘The Don’ aka rapper NAS makes his comeback to rap in a big way, and after his hiatus for the biz says the one thing he doesn’t understand is why rappers beef, or tweef, on Twitter. “I don’t understand how artists get pissed off at people on Twitter,” NAS tells Complex. “Not to say that people should have the toughest skin, and nothing should bother you… Maybe it’s just my age. I know who I am,” the rapper continued. “I know what I’ve survived, and I know what I’ve done. That shit wasn’t easy. So for someone who doesn’t know anything about that to comment on it, you can’t be mad at them. They don’t know any better.” We could think of few celebrities who could take heed to NAS and listen up.

Reality star TAMI ROMAN has returned to Twitter, after deactivating her account last week. ROMAN shut her timeline down after intense backlash from Basketball Wives viewers who felt she took her bullying to far with co-star KEISHA NICHOLS . TAMI returned to Twitter as if she was innocent, and tweeted to follower showing support, “”Thx babe-sometimes U gotta walk away & let people stay in that dark place by themselves-I’m mentally rejuvenated-glad u back.” Not all were as welcoming that ROMAN had reactivated her account, to which ROMAN did her best to stay pleasant and positive. “I’ve actually seen ur rant on my TL-hope U get it all out so U can divert ur attention 2this beautiful Sat. & some positivity,” ROMAN responded to a one critic. Are we happy TAMI is back?

WENDY WILLIAMS says black women are overtly judgmental when it comes to plastic surgery because secretly they are “jealous.” The talk show host has been known to be open about the cosmetic surgery she’s had in her past that includes most notoriously her breast augmentation, amongst other things. Speaking about the stigma between black people and plastic surgery, WENDY said to xoJane.com , “Ugh, please. My people will not go for any kind of surgery. We are supposed to be natural. Ugh, whatever.” “They are very jealous and scared. Scared of what their other friends would say, or to break out of the box and be different,” WENDY continues. “If I said to that person, ‘I got the doctor and I’m going to pay for it. Choose three things you want to do,’ believe me, they would get it done’,” WENDY explained. It is clear that despite what people say about her cosmetically enhanced body, WENDY could care less what people think. Tell us, do you think WENDY WILLIAMS’ comments are true?

NAS was asked to reflect on his relationship and divorce from singer KELIS , and he opened up and shared some very revealing details of exactly what went wrong between the two. NAS says to Complex magazine that his initial attraction was intense but he always wondered if it would work. “It was rock and roll. I saw Kelis as Courtney Love—but I also saw her as a mahogany queen. I saw us as a beautiful thing. I saw us as inspiration. People weren’t seeing hip-hop artists get married… But I think overall, we were inspiring people to love.” He continued, “There was a lot that was thrown at her that she couldn’t handle…I needed something more from her, that she either wasn’t ready or didn’t know how to provide. Plus, she is younger than me and she hadn’t seen all the things I had seen… I said, ‘There’s parts of this that might not work,’ but there was a beautiful part of it, too. For the most part, I had a great time being married. It was amazing. She’s an amazing woman.” NAS says th

Usher blasted his ex-wife in court today -- testifying that Tameka Foster flew into a jealous rage, hitting him, throwing food, and worst of all ... spitting on his girlfriend. Usher took the stand in his ongoing child custody trial with his ex, and under questioning by his attorney, revealed how Tameka once went ballistic and "wanted to fight" ... when he showed up at her house with his new sidepiece. Ush testified Tameka walked to his car and said, "I'm gonna kick your ass. Bitch get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house?" He added, "She continued to spit. At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her." Usher claims he had to get out of the car and block Tameka ... who then hit him. Usher said he pleaded with Tameka to calm down, but claims "she threw a plate of food at the car" ... as he fled the situation. You gotta hear Usher describe the intense showdown -- and rem

Who rocks the pompadour up-do?

This custody battle is getting messier and messier. USHER’s  estranged wife  TAMEKA FOSTER  has been making some serious accusations against him in order to convince the judge to grant her full custody. On top of claims that USHER is a recreational drug user, TAMEKA is now alleging that he slept with two of her bridesmaids and that their two sons would use profanity after returning from their visits with him. Since USHER has the right to sell the property whenever he wants, TAMEKA is also concerned that she has less than 60 days to leave USHER’s Georgia home that she resides in with their two young sons. Sounds like two grown people doing things out of spite. Let’s just hope USHER and TAMEKA can keep it civil for the sake of their kiddies.

Looks like  TAMI ROMAN  is getting a taste of her own medicine. The backlash TAMI received from her behavior on Monday night’s episode of Basketball Wives  became so severe that the reality star felt forced to delete her Twitter account. Many fans were so appalled by TAMI’s bullying against  KESHA NICHOLS  during their trip to Tahiti, another boycott has been started to get TAMI kicked off the show. The website that created thee boycott mentions removing her from the show by “sending public social awareness that interracial discrimination and bullying of any kind is not acceptable in American society.” No word on if or when TAMI will reactivate her Twitter account, but  tell us do you think TAMI shutting down her Twitter was the right thing to do?

  The legendary  DONNA SUMMER  died yesterday. She was 63. The Queen of disco passed away in Florida after a long battle with cancer.

Summer released her last album,  Crayons , in 2008. It was her first full studio album in 17 years, her talent and beauty will be missed.

Pastor Marvin Winans -- the guy who officiated over Whitney Houston's funeral service -- was carjacked at a Detroit gas station yesterday. According to WXYZ, Winans was pumping gas when some scumbag roughed him up and stole the 54-year-old's Infiniti QX56 SUV. The pastor told a WXYZ reporter he had a feeling this was "not a good situation" when he first saw the group of  guys who eventually jumped him. Winans -- whose family is legendary in the gospel music world -- was not seriously injured, but his son, Marvin Winans Jr. , tells TMZ his dad has checked into a hospital to get treatment. According to police, 4 suspects jacked an undisclosed amount of cash from Winans, and got away in the SUV. They describe three of the suspects as Black males. Marvin gave the eulogy at Whitney's funeral in New Jersey back in February -- and thanked Whitney's mom for bringing "the world" to church.
