Ray J Found His Love....


It seem that Cocktail really had love for Ray J. The decision was between the classy Unique and the fun Cocktail. After meeting their parents (although Ray couldn't really relate to Cocktail's Spanish speaking family), and spending a fun night in Las Vegas, Ray decided that he wanted to start a relationship with Cocktail. At the reunion show, Ray confirmed that he still wanted to continue the relationship. I guess we'll see what happens.

Wendy Suspended....For Being The Best??


On April 22rd the ratings came out and Wendy Williams was far and away the TOP URBAN radio personality.Great news right? I thought so. So why then did - the very next day - her New York station WBLS suspends her for a week. Apparently they're upset that she's killing everyone in the ratings.Anyway - check out the last interview that Wendy did - she was celebrating her ratings success and Charlamagne's new gig as a Philadelphia Morning radio personality.

Who would have imagined that Beyonce’s Movie Obsessed would do 3 times as well as Oscar winner Jamie Foxx’ The Soloist?? Well that’s EXACTLY what happened. Beyonce’s film pulled in $28 million – and Jamie’s pulled in a little more than $9M. Hollywood insiders are now starting to wonder whether Jamie Foxx’ statements to Miley Cyrus (i.e., when he told her to "make a sex tape... do some heroin... and become a lesbian and catch chlamydia") could have caused his latest movie to FLOP!! Well, now Jamie is looking to bury the hatchet for good. He’s already issued a number of public apologies for his statements. And now he’s getting his 14 year old daughter to apologize to Miley on his behalf. Here’s what Jamie said in a recent interview:
"My daughter has written a letter to [Miley]. We're going to get that to her and like I said, I don't want to defend [my statements]... you can't defend it."

Cassie's New Do...


Can someone please tell me what was running through singer Cassie's mind when she shaved half of her head? About 2 weeks ago Cassie debuted her new style which still has many people confused on what statement she is trying to make.

Frankie+ Drinks+ Cake= DISASTER!!!!


For those who have seen any of Keyshia Coles' shows, which aired on BET, know that her mother Frankie is a wild character. She doesn't watch her mouth, she's unapologetic, and she really puts on a show. So what do you get when you add the animated Frankie, drinks and cake? A TOTAL MESS!

Jayson Williams Suicide Attempt


On April 28, 2009 former NBA star Jayson Williams was taken into custody after he tried to commit suicide. According to reports, the 41 year old NBA star took an entire bottle of pills and drank a bottle of alcohol. Police were called to his room after hotel guests complained of Jayson’s erratic behavior. And when they arrived, officers used a taser gun to subdue him.Jayson was involuntary committed into a NYC mental health facility. Jayson is reportedly recovering in a mental health facility. According to his reps, he's doing a lot better now.

Beenie Man Puts Chris Brown on BLAST!


Apparently reggae susperstar Beenie man was performing – and Rihanna was in the audience. During Beenie’s performance he called out Chris Brown in front of nearly 10,000 fans. Beenie Man start calling for Rihanna to “report back stage immediately”. And then he started talking about the infamous beating incident between her and Chris Brown, asking the crowd if they thought it was “an idiot thing that Chris did” while singing a very off-key version of the hook to ‘Umbrella’. You could hear a collective ‘ooooohhhh!’ as the crowd sucked in its breath when he said it.For most that would be enough … but not for Beenie. Here’s what he did next:
Beenie kept calling for Rihanna and singing ‘Umbrella’ and lo and behold, she actually came up on the stage. Then he start singing his version of Umbrella , part of which went


“I don’t have no fancy car/But [I’ll] never give you no scar”.


Trust me. I was shame for de girl. Everyone was shame because the crowd didn’t really hype up and carry on the way they had been earlier when he was just performing all his hits. I just wanted it to end.


This sounds painful … but it ain’t over yet:
But Beenie wasn’t done. He told her that Chris [will] get vexed when he sees the pictures of him (Beenie) and Rihanna hugging up on stage because he is the ‘girls dem suga’ and anything the sugar touches get sticky.

Asher Rother reckless talk...


Remember last week when MediaTakeOut.com told you about some NO NAME rapper named Asher Roth who called Black women nappy headed hoes. Well now he’s turning to Black men.Apparently Asher, who’s affiliated with Atlantic Records and Jay Z and Kanye West, claims that he’s ‘disgusted’ by the Black rappers. Here’s his exact quote:

“All these black rappers — African rappers — talking about how much money they have. 'Do you realize what's going on in Africa right now?'" Roth says."It's just like, 'You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.


We know where dude is trying to go with this. But he is just WAY TO COMFORTABLE talking with such a high degree of recklessness!!!

Tyra Gets STALKED....


Tyra Banks, the supermodel-TV host took the stand in Manhattan Criminal Court to testify against her accused stalker, 39-year-old Brady Green, who's on trial for stalking, harassment and criminal trespassing.
According to the New York Daily News, the star was calm as she told the court how terrified she and her staff were in March 2008 when Green attempted to get past security at the Tyra Banks Show studio. The staff wouldn't allow Banks to exit her dressing room.


"I don't fear for my life—I fear the safety of my staffers," Banks explained. "I fear the safety of my family. I fear the safety of people in my vicinity."


If convicted, Green faces a maximum of 90 days in prison.

Twitter....The New Craze??


First it was Blackplanet, then Myspace, followed by Facebook, now Twitter is the new phenomenon that has struck the social networking world. Ar first it seems like Twitter is a waste of time. All you do is log on and see the status updates of the people you choose to follow. Sounds rather boring right? That's the same thing I though when I created my page about 3 weeks ago. I was determined to see what all this "Twitter" talk was about. I hated it! Now I can't stay off!! I find myself updating my status everytime a different thought crossed my mind. And what makes it more fun is that you can follow your favorite celebrities. I log on almost every 10 minutes to see what Kim Kardashian, Diddy and Nicole Ritchie is doing throughout their day. Pretty soon all the fame and involvement that came with Mysapce and Facebook will hit Twitter. So if you aren't down with the program, get with it!

Brad and Ang Secretly Married??


Superstar parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the world’s most glamorous couple — but one thing has been missing from their seemingly perfect lives: A marriage certificate. Now a friend tells that Brad, 45, has issued Angie, 33, an ultimatum: “Brad’s told her, ‘Marry me, or it’s over.’ ” What’s more, another source says, Brad told Angie — who hopes to add to their six children — “he definitely wants to get married before they have any more babies.”

The Hills IS BACK!!!


Ok so I know we all thought it was over but...GUESS AGAIN!! MTV will be premiering season 5 of The Hills Monday, April 6th. And although some may seem excited to reunite with Lauren, Audrina, LO, Heidi (I guess), and Spencer (ugh!), there's one important member who isn't so thrilled about the new season...the main character herself, Lauren. She admits that she didn't even want to carry it on to another season.


"I actually thought last season was going to be my last, but the producers wanted to hopefully give the show some sort of closure and needed one more season." Lauren doesn't seem too excited.

Is Keri dissing Beyonce and Ciara???


We've all heard the song...you know the one I'm talking about, the Turning Me Off Remix where Keri Hilson makes some comments about her haters and unnamed people who many beleieve to be Beyonce and Ciara. In Keri's words: "I ain’t tryin to start no mess it just something on my chest that i need to get off cause you turnin me off ya vision cloudy if you think you the best you can dance, she can sing but netha don't do it to thum shawty she needs to go have some babies, she needs to sit down she's fadin'".


As soon as this was released, the rumors were flying! Keri immediately went on air to dismiss the rumors and even went on a radio show with Ciara and told her that she definitely was not talking about her or Beyonce. Let's hope not Keri because you're good but you're not THAT good!

Lindsey Blames Fans...


Lindsay Lohan is blaming her lack of work on her fans.
"If people would just leave my personal life alone, because it's really not that interesting, then I could land a great role, but all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting," she complained. Lohan, who admitted she was nervous about paying her mortgage after not appearing in a movie since 2007, recently fought a warrant for her arrest related to her August 2007 guilty plea of driving under the influence of cocaine, for which she served 84 minutes in jail. "My past is my past and it's been a long one, but I'm growing more and learning more day by day. I'm not the same person and I don't make the same mistakes," she insists. "I move forward and I change. Life's too short not to."

Paris Getting Serious???



Is it getting serious already between Paris Hilton and her reality star boyfriend Doug Reinhardt?
Cameras caught the cozy couple having dinner at celeb hot spot The Ivy in Beverly Hills Tuesday night, and Paris' mom and dad were there!
Hilton and Reinhardt have been dating since last month and he's reportedly already thinking of popping the question. Hmmm...let's see how long this lasts!

Jack Osbourne, "I Was Getting Suicidal"


Jack Osbourne said depression stemming from mother Sharon's 2002 cancer diagnosis caused him, at one point, to contemplate killing himself.
"I started getting suicidal," Osbourne told In Touch. "I was just doing loads of drugs and drinking. I was miserable."
The television personality said that things came to a head after he disappeared during Easter weekend six years ago. After much soul searching -- and some encouragement from dear ol' dad (rocker Ozzy Osbourne) -- Osbourne said he knew it was time for a change.
He checked into a Malibu rehab facility and said he has replaced the carousing with healthier pastimes, such as kickboxing.

Anna Nicole's Case Re Opened...


Photos were taken of the late Anna Nicole's shrink, Khristine Eroshevich, snorting a white substance which is beleived to be cocaine. These photos could send her to prison and be vital evidence against her in a reopened criminal probe into the star’s death. “It is conceivable that Eroshvich, along with Howard K. Stern and Dr. Kapoor, could all face homicide charges with regard to the unlawful death of Miss Smith,” said Denver trial attorney Craig Silverman. Eroshevich, Smith’s attorney Howard K. Stern, and doctor Sandeep Kapoor have all been indicted in connection with supplying drugs to Anna Nicole.

The complaint, filed by Sandalwood Properties, says Washington has not paid since November. His manager did not respond to a request for comment made by the Associated Press.

The 45-year-old was fired from Grey's in 2007 after hurling a gay slur at costar T.R. Knight, who hadn't come out of the closet at that point.

"STOP SAYING I DON'T LIKE TONY!"


Joe Simpon, father of Jessica Simpson, is refuting rumor that he does not like Jessica's beau and Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Roma. The National Enquirer quotes a source as saying that Joe "feels that Tony has become too much of a distraction.... Rather than blaming his daughter's work ethic, Joe points the finger at Tony." Joe says, that he's tired of people saying that he does not like Joe. He quotes, "Joe's the best! Don't believe the National Enquirer!"

"Lindsey's No MODEL!"


Apparently model hunk Tyson Bedford thinks that actress Lindsey Lohan is not ready to walk down the catwalk. Lohan recently told Nylon magazine that she hoped to sign with IMG modeling but Bedford stated that Lindsey was just not ready for the modeling scene.


"She has the partying part down right. But I don't think she’s got the focus. I mean, it requires a lot of focus and a lot of people think they can do it, but they really find that it's a lot harder." -Tyson Bedford

Natasha Richardson Passes Away...

Chris and Rihanna BACK AT IT!!!


Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted together at Miami International Airport late Sunday night. Brown is scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles on Thursday for their confrontation that took place on February 8th, but the district attorney says that date may be postponed if detectives don't turn over the case soon enough.. Since that incident, Rihanna spent solo time in Los Angeles, Mexico and her native Barbados, while Brown traveled to Las Vegas and his Virginia hometown before jetting to Miami to spend one on one time with Rihanna at Sean “P. Diddy” Comb’s island mansion. Now there's talk about a secret marriage between the two...is it true????

Tyra's Back At It...


Now I don't know about you but I'm quite tired of America's Next Top Model! The models are not very attractive and they do the same thing in each episode....it's almost predictable. We know certain girls are going to cry when they get their hair cut, of course there will be arguments over absolutely NOTHING, and if I hear the word "fierce" one more time... !! Despite my wish to completely get rid of this show, Tyra is back at it for season 12. She kicks off the new season at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas. This cycle's wannabes are as fascinating as ever, and the cast includes a "street preacher", a blood-obsessed porcelain doll and even a scarred burn survivor. With all the different personalities, I hope this season is a good one.

Freeman Gets Sued....


The woman who was with Morgan Freeman the night of a car crash that injured both of them insists she was never romantically linked to Freeman and is suing the actor for negligence. Demaris Meyer claims that she has been labeled as the other woman and has been accused of having caused the breakup of Mr. Freeman's marriage, which she claims is far from true. The lawsuit claims that Freeman failed to keep a proper lookout, maintain attention, keep the vehicle under control and obey the speed limit. Meyer is suing for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, permanent disability and property damage. Meyer stated that Freeman has only provided minimal support for her following the accident.

The singer finally released a statement to fans on Friday (her 21st birthday) via her spokesperson:

Along with his new hair style, Kelly was also seen wearing his jeans backwards. Chris, can you please let that go? Please??

That's My Song!!!


”You guys know your president right? You know the one with the big ears. Yeah, wait a minute, he ain’t my president, he might be yours. I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whipped."


These were the words spoken by singer Etta James after hearing about Beyonce singing her hit song, "At Last", at the presidential ball. Etta was far from happy as she released statements disrespecting President Obama and Beyonce. Calm down Etta, it wasn't even your song first!

Lil' Kim Speaks Up...


I recently saw the Notorious movie and I must admit it wasn't all that it was cracked up tp be. Female rap star, Lil' Kim seems to think the same. Kim was completely upset after seeing the way she was portrayed in the movie. From the looks of it, Kim was just someone that Biggie used to have sex with and Kim did not like that at all. Kim claims that her and Biggie's relationship was deeper than that. Voletta Wallace, Biggie's mother and the producer of the movie told Kim to "GET OVER IT!" Although she didn't have any sympathy for Kim's feelings, P. Diddy defended Kim's image saying that the film did not do her justice and Kim and Biggie's was deeper than the way it was portrayed in the film.

Ray J. Looking for Love...


R&B singer Ray J. joins the long list of celebrities looking for love in all the wrong places. And by wrong places, I'm talking about TV. Following the "success" of Flava Flav, New York, Bret Micheals, and Real and Chance, Ray J. has a new show on VH1 called "For the Love of Ray J." where he has a house of 14 women fighting to compete for his love, or attention, or publicity... whichever comes first. It's only the 2nd episode and already it's arguing, back stabbing and sexual moves to receive the glass of champaigne at the end of the show. If you ask me, the whole "let's find love from random women, within a month, on TV" is very played out to me. I guess we'll see how this one plays out.

Nas and Kelis Are Finally Having A Baby...!!!!


After dating for over 5 years, Nas and Kelis are finally having their first child together. Nas, who seems to be very excited, told MTV News that they will find out the sex next week. The child will be Kelis' first but the second for Nas who has a 15 year old daughter from a previous relationship. Congrats guys!!

Medical Emergency for Solange....


The singer and younger sister of Beyoncé was rushed to the hospital yesterday after fainting at an airport on her way home from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. She was treated for dehydration and low blood pressure. She was released from the hospital after a second round of IV and a visit from her mother, Tina. "My mom is the best. LOL," Knowles wrote. "She's like, ain't nothing wrong with this girl, she need some water and rest...Pull up the car! LOL."

50 Doesn't Hold Back...


Speaking of rappers that don't pay child support, let's add Rick Ross to the list. At least that's what 50 Cents is saying. Rapper 50 Cent has hit below the belt in his latest feud with Miami rapper Rick Ross. The rap mogul claims that his industry mate , Rick Ross, is a “deadbeat dad”. In addition, 50 claims to have purchased court transcripts from Rick Ross’ child-support case which show that the Miami rapper’s income is “$200,000 a year and the jewelry he wears isn’t real.” Just last week, 50 flew Tia Kemp, the mother involved in Rick Ross’ child support case, to New York for an interview and a shopping spree. After spending the day with Tia, 50 claims to have been ”surprised” to learn that that Rick Ross repossessed a truck that Tia had been using to take her kids to school.

Me So...DEADBEAT!!!


What ever happened to real men? You know, the ones who actually take care of their responsibilities! Well I guess Uncle Luke wouldn't know the answer to that question. The "Me So Horny" rapper formerly known as Luke Skyywalker and leader of raunchy 1980s rap group 2 Live Crew has been jailed in Miami for failing to pay more than $10,000 in a child-support case. Uncle Luke will remain locked up at Miami's detention center until he can come up with the $10,223 owed to Shakera Morgan, the woman who brought the paternity case against him.

Rihanna Receives Support...


Rihanna has cancelled shows in Malaysia and Indonesia AND her own 21st birthday party after allegations her boyfriend Chris Brown attacked her. Kanye West has sent his support to Rihanna and said he’s devastated by what happened.He told Ryan Seacrest: "I was completely devastated during the performance… “I feel like that's my baby sis. I would do any and everything to help her in any situation."

Chris...A WOMAN BEATER????


So I know everyone's heard the story, Chris Brown hits Rihanna after an argument. No one is really sure what the argument was about but rumors spread that it stemmed from Chris receiving a call from a girl that he talks to on the side. Another story was that Rihanna gave Chris Brown a STD and he released his frustration by hitting her in her face and biting her. Both were not present at the Grammy Award Show, causing more rumors to surface. What really happened?

Welcome to "The City"


MTV welcomes the spin off to their reality show The Hills with a show that has a very familiar concept with the The City. Quiet girl Whitney Port leaves Hollywood for the fast paced world of New York City, where she has a new job with fashion guru Diane Von Furstenburg, new friends, and a completely new atmosphere. Already she's found a new hottie, a friends from two different groups (the Socials and the Hippie crew), and an amazing new apartment. It seems like Whit has a great future ahead of her in the Big Apple!

Kelly Moves On...


Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland has decided to leave manger of over 10 years, Matthew Knowles. Knowles, who has been with Destiny's Child since they were 12 year performers apart of a group called Girls Tyme, has parted ways with Rowland on peaceful terms. Both agree that they will always be family.

Paula Feels Left Out...


With the arrival of new American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, Paula Abdul is beginning to feel a little out of place. Abdul was feeling so worked up that she left the set and went to her dressing room to shed a tear...or two. Poor Paula!

Along with dealing with the death of his 16 year old son, John Travolta is also forced to deal with an extortion case. Bahamian officials confirmed that police are investigating a plot to extort the family. Officials have been very scarce on details however family attorneys, Mike Ossi and Howard Butler stated that they will not let these greedy individuals get away with their false claims.

OBAMA!! YES WE DID...now let's party!!!


On January 20th, America made history as the nation's first African American president was elected into office. The promises of change and a better tomorrow was heard by over one million people Tuesday afternoon as Barack Obama placed his right hand on the Bible and made a vow to America. Although that day held an important event in history, the real party came afterwards. The first coupke had a long night ahead of them as they attended 10 inaugural balls. Celebrities poured in to celebrate the induction of one of the most popular presidential elects. Mariah Carey hit the stage in a beautiful black gown as she performed "Hero" at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball, Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony chit chatted with Vice President Joe Biden and newly married couple Beyonce and Jay-Z attended the ceremony and brought hip hop mogul, P. Diddy along. The star studded parties were definitely the place to be Tuesday night and although Obama may have been tired from partying, he was up bright and early to begin his first day as President of the United States.

J. Hud's Back on the Scene




Three months after the murder of her mother, brother, and seven year old nephew, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson is back in the spotlight. Hudson is scheduled to make her first performance since her family tragedy as she sings the national anthem at the SuperBowl which will take place on February 1st. Just days after her SuperBowl honor, Hudson is scheduled t0 perform the songs of Neil Diamond at the Musicares Person of the Year Gala. It's good to see that Hudson, who has been in seclusion since her family's deaths, is recooperating and re- entering the entertainment scene. She was really missed! I can't wait to see what J. Hud has in store for her fan in 2009.
