TAMEKA FOSTER can’t catch a break. Recently losing one of her son’s to a tragic jet ski accident, FOSTER now loses custody of her other two sons to superstar ex-husband USHER RAYMOND .

A woman’s loyalty is tested when her man has nothing… A mans loyalty is tested when he has everything!” TMZ reports that the ruling may have been corrupted as USHER’s attorney’s raised funds to elect the proceeding judge years ago.

After the rumor mill began hinting at a possible breakup between SHAQUILLE “SHAQ” O’NEAL and girlfriend, NICOLE “HOOPZ” ALEXANDER , HOOPZ took to Twitter to set the record straight. HOOPZ tweeted, “I don’t understand how blogs are allowed to put out such false information.#PureEvil Sucks that Ive always been a target 4 untrue, hateful negative rumors. I always wonder how these ppl can sleep at night!” It would seem HOOPZ is denying the breakup, but considering O’NEAL and HOOPZ have never even publicly confirmed or denied the nature of their relationship, we’ll have to wait and see.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star, NENE LEAKES recently unveiled her new shoe “The Neitha.” “The Neitha” will be sold on KIM KARDASHIAN ‘s shoe website, ShoeDazzle . Earlier in the year we reported that KIM and NENE were spotted out together, we finally see what the nature of that relationship was.

Chad Johnson has been dropped from the Dolphins following his fight with his new wife Evelyn Lozada : Chad Johnson’s Sunday began in county lockup. It ended with him out of a job. The Dolphins wasted little time in cutting ties with their embattled receiver, releasing him just hours after he walked out of the Broward County jail. Johnson faces misdemeanor domestic abuse charges after allegedly head-butting his wife, reality TV star Evelyn Lozada, in front of their Davie home Saturday night. Cops were called, and Lozada, who suffered a three-inch cut on her forehead, plans to press charges, police say. Johnson made bond about the same time the Dolphins were starting practice Sunday, and was obviously absent. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said later in the afternoon he had not yet spoken to Johnson, but planned to do so immediately. The conversation did not go well for the receiver formerly known as Ochocinco. Johnson was already on thin ice with the organization after a crude, pro

Last week,  BENZINO , hit up Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club to discuss his role on the reality show, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta and his relationship with co-star KARLIE REDD . When asked how he found his way on the show BENZINO explained, “I never went to get casted or nothing, I kinda just fell into it. I went on the show originally to give him [ STEVIE J ] some advice. Next thing you know I had met Karlie.Then I got a call from Mona to see if I wanted to be on camera.” BENZINO claims that he and KARLIE REDD, who met off camera, were dating at least two months before he gave her the keys to his house. While BENZINO was candid about if he and KARLIE are still together, he may have unknowingly let the cat out of the bag in regards to whether or not the show is indeed scripted. Love and Hip Hop producer, MONA SCOTT-YOUNG claims that the show is not scripted but if that is true, why is there an episode of a formal introduction between KARLIE and BENZINO if they met off camera?

PILAR SANDERS took to Twitter hours after news surfaced of a physical altercation between Basketball Wives star, EVELYN LOZADA , and her new husband, CHAD OCHOCINO JOHNSON , to make jokes about the situation. The 38-year-old mother of three tweeted, “Bob and Weave Ladies…..Bob a.n.d Weave.” After being accused of taunting and subliminally throwing shots at EVELYN, PILAR quickly backtracked her statement saying, “domestic violence Is no joke. I don’t taunt the abused, especially My Beautiful Sisters. (been there) .” PILAR, who has allegedly experienced physical abuse at the hands of her ex-husband, DEION SANDERS , is the last person we’d expect to be throwing shade.

R&B singer, TREY SONGZ , finally confirmed being intimate with actress, LAUREN LONDON .

No.” The Chapter V singer went further to say,”We are great friends and we have been lovers before,” as he chatted with SANA G AND MISS KIMMIE of 106KMEL. We can finally put an end to the speculation about TREY SONGZ and LAUREN LONDON but we’re still not too sold on what their status is now.

It should come as no surprise that BEYONCE and her husband JAY-Z have topped Forbes magazine’s latest list of the world’s highest paid celebrity couples. The new parents beat out both WILL and JADA PINKETT SMITH , and supermodel GISELE BUNDCHEN and her New England Patriots quarterback husband TOM BRADY.

DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM along with ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT are included on the list.

As one of the world’s most notorious supermodels, NAOMI CAMPBELL is normally picture perfect. That was not the case this week, as photos captured CAMPBELL vacationing on yacht in IZIBA with her weave/wig snatched back, revealing the severe hair loss around her edges. The 42-year-old supermodel was seen enjoying the sun with her billionaire boyfriend with her hair slicked back and exposing a extensively damage receding hairline. CAMPBELL has over-relied on hair extensions and weaves for most of her modelling career like any supermodel who needs versatile looks, but seems to have neglected care of her natural hair. Many hair experts believe that her bald scalp may be the result of traction alopecia – hair loss that can be caused by the use of extensions. Traction alopecia occurs when the extensions pull on the natural hair causing it to break, and usually affects the hairline just above the forehead or the sides, where the hair is weaker. It can take between three months to a ye

After pictures hit the net of AMBER ROSE and what appeared to be a baby bump, rumors began swirling that she and fiancee WIZ KHALIFA were expecting. In a recent interview with The Q Deezy radio show, WIZ sort of addressed rumors about him and AMBER possibly having a little “rosebud” in the near future. WIZ didn’t completely confirm or deny whether or not AMBER was pregnant as he stated, “I want babies. I definitely want to have kids for sure. Oh, you all think Amber’s pregnant? Cause I’ve been asked that. Do you think Amber’s pregnant?” When asked about AMBER ROSE not bleaching her hair possibly being a sign of pregnancy, WIZ replied, “a lot of people didn’t even know she dyed her hair. They thought she was a natural blonde. I’m saying here that is not what people think it is. But, she will have my baby in life, and you guys will know when she’s pregnant. But it’s not the time now for people to start going crazy.”

Everyone’s favorite good girl gone bad, RIHANNA , and G.O.O.D Music ‘s first lady TEYANA TAYLOR are the latest celebs to partake in a Twitter mini-beef. The drama began after TEYANA TAYLOR retweeted a picture of RIHANNA sporting a snap back hat, baseball jersey, sunglasses, and bold lipstick, with the caption “me being me.” TAYLOR, who is well known for the same tomboyish look, may have felt as though RIH RIH swagger jacked her styled and retweeted a follower who stated, “imitation is the highest form of flattery,” igniting instant backlash from RIHANNA fans. RIHANNA, no stranger to controversy, brushed off the beef simply tweeting, “poor dat.” While neither party has made any direct statements at each other, we wonder what will happen next.

 The drama surrounding Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta ‘s cast continues to grow as ANTONIA ‘TOYA’ WRIGHT , slammed Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star, K.MICHELLE , in a recent interview. TOYA decided to speak out during an interview with Talking With Tami after K.MICHELLE did an interview with NY radio blasting TOYA and her husband, MEMPHITZ , for allegedly abusing her when they worked together. “I promised myself that I was never gonna talk about it because she’s so irrelevant to me. If somebody abused you like that where’s the proof? I never said anything about that situation. I never addressed it. That’s my husband. I don’t know you, I wasn’t there when y’all had the altercation true, but I’m going to be 100% supportive of my man, ” WRIGHT stated matter of factly. She continued, “I just wish she just stopped saying my name. I’m not a hater but please stop talking about me and my husband and my family. Show everybody and you will shut everybody up.” TOYA also claimed that she encoura

In a recent interveiw Cash Money Records producer, Bangladesh , said Swizz Beatz is too old to produce contemporary music, and he’s only relavant because he’s married to Grammy award winner, Alicia Keys. Here’s what Bangladesh had to say: “I don’t think Swizz is relevant. I’m keeping it 100. I think there’s a difference between relevance and musical relevance. You married a lady that’s poppin’ Alicia Keys, you know it’ll give you a lot of relevance, but you gotta make hits. Ain’t no hits. Are you relevant for the craft you’re doing or the life you live as far as the decisions you make? Swizz is not youthful or in-the-know. Still being in-the-know. I have a 15 year old son so they think we’re brothers and I put him on to stuff. You know, I’m 34 but people tell me I look 23. He still look to me for information. Usually it’s the opposite, usually the parents are lame or too old to understand or whatever. Just the way I feel, I got so much more time.” Did Swizz Beatz jack DJ Ko

At last week’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta ‘s private screening, LIL SCRAPPY gave the crowd a few minutes of his time to discuss being called a mama’s boy, his relationship with ERICA DIXON , and beef with STEVIE J . When asked if he considered himself a “mama’s boy” SCRAPPY quickly replied “if getting a check with my mama makes me a mama’s boy, I’m a mama’s boy to the fullest. She birthed me out her and I owe it to her. Nobody can pay her back but she gon’ understand that check.” SCRAPPY also revealed how the show changed his views on ERICA DIXON , fellow cast mate and the mother of his child. “She never showed me that without the cameras. Seeing her talk with her friends and just coming out like that I was like wow, that’s my mother f***** there you f*** with me like that,” SCRAPPY explained. Apparently SCRAPPY has also dropped the other source of his tension – his beef with co-star STEVIE J . Although the two were involved in a physical altercation in previous episodes both

Like so many of us, CHRIS BROWN has also become a fan of VH1′s Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta reality show on Monday nights. BROWN shared a photo on his Twitter recently that showed him mocking the tight lipped snarl that breakout star, STEVIE J , has made famous. Along with the photo mimicking STEVIE J signature facial expression, BROWN wrote, “Stevie j face!” Instead of getting upset STEVIE rolled with punches and replied on Twitter with, “Look at my Lil bro! #MrMonday.”

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star, K. MICHELLE , recently chatted with Columbus’ Power 107.5′s Morning Crew to clear up some issues concerning her on air drama with co-star, KARLIE REDD , her outlook on her former situation with producer, MEMPHITZ , and her feelings on MEMPHITZ’s wife ANTONIA “TOYA” WRIGHT . K. MICHELLE began her interview by addressing her beef with KARLIE REDD, stating, “I don’t hate any one but I strongly dislike her. She’s ridiculous and a constant liar…I know everybody has a role to play in the show and her’s is to be the clown.” When asked about her lastest feeling surrounding ex-boyfriend MEMPHITZ, she says, “I embrace everything with laughter because a lot of my life was spent crying… I don’t speak to him and don’t plan on it.” K. MICHELLE discussed losing respect for MEMPHITZ’s new wife TOYA, “I’ve really had a lot of respect for Toya, but when you start to bash another woman that you’ve never seen, then you lose my respect.”

Recently released pictures of Smirnoff spokesperson, AMBER ROSE , adds fuel to growing speculation that she is with child. ROSE was snapped over the weekend poolside with only a bra and what could easily be mistaken for a growing baby bump. AMBER ROSE was handed a sweatshirt and hat once the paps were spotted, but not before getting a glimpse of her growing out her trademark bleach blonde hair (another indication she may be preggers as hair bleaching is not recommended for pregnant women). Speculation of a possible pregnancy began after AMBER ROSE was spotted . We’ve been side eyeing AMBER ROSE’s belly ever since she debuted a loose fitted dress and a head-wrap at a recent Smirnoff event. Only time will tell, stay tuned.

JOSELINE HERNANDEZ and MIMI FAUST aren’t the only chicks to fall for producer STEVIE J ‘s antics. EVE recently confirmed at the ‘Intimate Hour’ event she hosted in Philly that STEVIE J was indeed her first love. “Yes, Stevie J was my first love,” she admitted at the event. When asked how she defines her past relationship with STEVIE J, she said, “You know what…that was a learning experience. You meet people all the time. We just happen to fall in love. Umm, but thankfully I knew better, I know better.” “When I was younger I didn’t question things but now I am annoying! Like if something doesn’t feel right speak up! If you feel like you are being lied to speak up,” the rapper confessed about her personal growth. She even revealed that she’s very much in love now saying, “I am happily in love now. And the girl [I am] now he couldn’t even see this.”

Could two of Hip Hop’s hottest femcees be preparing to go on tour together? It looks like that could of been the case with AZEALIA BANKS and NICKI MINAJ . BANKS took to Twitter to reveal that she declined an offer from MINAJ to be featured on her upcoming tour in Europe. The rapper disappointingly tweeted, “I got invited to tour with Nicki Minaj in Europe but I can’t go because I have to finish my album during that time.” MINAJ recently revealed that label mate TYGA and British singer MISHA B will be featured on her UK tour.
