Chris Brown Cooks For Karrueche
Chris Brown’s talents extends far beyond the studio and the stage. The boy can get down in the kitchen too!
Last night he showed off his skills as he prepared a dinner (—>looks more like a feast) for himself and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
He tweeted a photo of himself frying up some chicken at the stove with the caption:
I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! Hungry????
But he must have cooked up something to write home about because Karrueche seemed happy as she tweeted a photo of her plate with the caption:
“Yup… Get Mad!”See how Chris’ dinner turned out below.
He must have gotten those skills from his mama!
Eddie Murphy Has Been with Toni Braxton for months now
According to
US Weekly reports :
US Weekly reports :
The singer, 44, and comic actor, 50, “are seeing each other and very into it,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding that the romance started up four months ago.
The Tower Heist star — who has eight kids from previous relationships — even cheered on the mother of two (who’s been separated from singer Keri Lewis since 2009), backstage at her Feb. 19 L.A. concert.
While Braxton’s rep insists “Toni and Eddie are just friends and have been fans of each other’s work for a long time,” the insider says, “Their kids have met and everything. It’s getting very serious.”
In addition to first wife Nicole Mitchell, Murphy dated former Spice Girl Melanie Brown from 2006 to 2007, and exchanged marital vows with Tracey Edmonds in 2008 in a “symbolic” ceremony that was never made legal. Back in the late 1980s, Murphy was linked to another big-voiced R&B superstar: the late Whitney Houston.
Braxton’s search for love after her split from Lewis was a major plot point in the most recent season of her reality show Braxton Family Values.

Are Diddy And russell Both Battling For Katy Perry’s Affection???
It probably isn’t the first time these two were in a bidding war over an artist. Katy Perry was pretty popular among the hip-hop moguls over the Oscar weekend.
KATY PERRY must feel like a bit like cartoon temptress Smurfette now that she’s single again. Although hip-hop impresario Sean (Diddy) Combs spent part of the Vanity Fair after-party hanging with reported girlfriend Cameron Diaz, he sure seemed mesmerized by Perry later as he talked with the blue-haired babe and “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. Who knows, maybe Diddy just wants to do business with the pop diva. That’s probably why fellow mogul Russell Simmons asked Perry for her phone number at the Weinstein pre-Oscar party on Saturday.
Lil Wayne Rocks Million Dollar Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones To NBA All-Star Game
No wonder Lil Wayne kepts his headphones on when smooching Nicki Minaj. Weezy was rocking million dollar Beats By Dre headphones that were created in collaboration with Graff Diamonds courtside at the NBA All-Star game. Add that up with his diamond grills and...we'll let someone else do the math.
In one photo, Tunechi is seen celebrating with Kevin Durant, the All-Star game MVP. Ironic since Wayne picked either LeBron James, Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul to win said award.
Peep the photos below. Does Wayne, who performed during the All-Star pre-game show, get to keep the headphones, though?
XXL’s Freshman List
XXL Magazine’s Freshman Class of 2012 list hasn’t even been out more than a few hours and already there is some beef brewing over who was chosen for it. This year’s cover, which annually features 10 rising hip-hop artists that XXL co-signs for the year, includes the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Roscoe Dash, French Montana and Danny Brown, who are all male. But for the first time in the five years XXL has been running the list, a female rapper [Iggy Azalea] is featured. [Sidebar: Nicki Minaj along with Drake skipped out on the cover in 2010 because they felt their buzz was too massive.]
Unfortunately, Iggy’s appearance on the list ruffled up the feathers of another up and coming rapper, Azaelia Banks, who took to her Twitter account to pop off about her thoughts on the cover. According to Azealia, Iggy disrespected black people in the second line from her song called “D.R.U.G.S.,” and for that reason alone she shouldn’t be honored by a urban hip-hop mag as one of the next great rappers.
She tweeted:
“Iggy Azalea on the XXL freshman list is all wrong. How can you endorse a a white woman who called herself a “Runaway slave master”? Whatever. Sorry guys. But I’m pro black girl. I’m not anti white girl, but I’m also not here for any1 outside of my culture trying to trivialize very serious aspects of it. In any capacity. *kanye shrug* If u hate my music now because of how I feel about this then I guess it’s my loss. I’ll take that loss.”
Azealia was referencing Iggy’s “D.R.U.G.S” track where she starts off the verse “When the relay starts, I’m A Runaway Slave–master,” which is a bit awkward (depending on how you decipher the lyrics). However, Azealia Banks’ rant about Iggy comes off a bit bitter, especially for a newbie in the game [She's already taken jabs at other female rappers like Nicki Minaj and Kreayshawn].
Iggy responded:
Don’t bother including my @ name in any of ur salty thoughts either cause… I’m #blockinthatass today!!!!First female freshman. Ever. Period. Thanks world! I used to stick XXL on my bedroom door, now I’m on the cover. Life is great.
Martin Lawrence Honored At Eye On Black Awards, May Return To TV
It was a ‘Big Momma’ house reunion for actress Nia Long and Martin Lawrence this past weekend as they attended the Eye On Black Awards: Salute to Directors ceremony in Hollywood. Martin Lawrence along with Debbie Allen, video director Chris Robinson, Bill Duke and Ava Duvernay were honored for their contributions of shaping the black experience through film.
The host, Brandon T. Jackson showed his appreciation and admiration for Martin by thanking him on stage for opening the doors for many young black comedians like himself. The audience was reminded exactly why Martin Lawrence is a legend in comedy when a montage of clips played of all his work. Clips from his 1992 sitcom ‘Martin’ showcased all the hilarious characters he played including everyone’s favorite Mama Payne, Sheneneh, Rosoe and Jerome. A variety of film clips played dating back to his House Party days to him dressing as a woman in Big Momma’s house. Not only did we see him as a comedian, but we were also reminded he had a knack for action when he played alongside Will Smith in the Bad Boys series.
Martin gladly accepted the award (presented by Tim Allen and Luke Wilson) and brought his daughter on stage with him while explaining that he has always looked up to comedian’s Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. And there is some good news on the homefront for ‘Martin’ fans. He has a new unnamed pilot on the table with CBS, in which could be his big return to television.
Check out the event photos which include attendees Tamar Braxton, Kimberly Elise, Letoya Luckett, Goapele, Leela James, Tatyana Ali, Evan Ross, Khalil Kain, Gary Doudon and more:

Kimberly Elise and Nia Long presented Debbie Allen with an award. Debbie came on stage with a student from her arts school as well as her kids, including Devaughn Nixon (far left) who played Whitney Houston’s son ‘Fletcher’ in ‘The Bodyguard’.
Trey Songz chats with GQ Magazine
Trey Songz snagged a feature in GQ magazine for their March 2012 issue showing off the best sports jacket and blazer looks for the fellas in the Spring. For the 10 page feature ‘The Most Important Items In Your Wardrobe’, he rocked dapper styles by J. Crew, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren Black Label, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Emporio Armani & Etro. According to GQ, if you are a guy and you don’t already own a well-fitted sports jacket, it should be the first thing on your list to buy this spring.
While showing off his stylish side and getting ready for his 2012 release of his album ‘Chapter V,’ Trey dished to GQ about possibly changing up his music style in the future, following in Marvin Gaye’s footsteps and making music that changes lives, and why he thinks Twitter and Facebook take away the mystery of an artist’s “persona”:
On Making Music Like Marvin Gaye — Love Songs to Changing LivesI could make a hundred “Bottoms Up’s but they won’t change nobody’s life. Marvin Gaye sang love songs to a certain point, and then it was like, ‘F–k this; I’m not clean-cut no more. I’m putting this skully on, letting this beard grow out, and I’m doing whatever the f-ck I wanna do.On if he’ll change up his style
I might. Give me a couple of years, though.

Rihanna Is In Full Support Of Chris Brown While He Awaits Word On Cell-Phone-Stealing Charges, Sends Lyrical Sub-Tweets About Getting Him Back!
Rihanna is standing by Chris Brown as he awaits the decision on whether he’ll be charged in the theft of a cell phone, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, Brown has been accused of stealing Christal Spann’s iPhone after she says she snapped a picture of the singer sitting in the back of a Bentley.
Brown allegedly snatched the phone, and said, “b*tch, you’re not gonna put that on the Internet,” and then drove off.
“Chris told Rihanna that he absolutely 1000% didn’t steal that phone, and Rihanna has told him she believes him. Rihanna has also told Chris that she will stand by him during the investigation, and whatever the future holds. This was extremely humbling to Chris given their tumultuous past, and he told her how much he appreciated her unwavering support to him, despite the criticism she has endured for recording songs with Chris and welcoming him back into her life,” a source close to the situation tells us.
What would an arrest mean for the resurrected singer?
If Brown is arrested, it would be extremely likely that the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office will seek to revoke his probation from his no contest plea of battery on Rihanna.
“Chris wouldn’t need to be convicted in the Miami case to cause problems with his probation, just charged,” the source tells RadarOnline.com. “The conditions of his felony probation are very, very strict. Chris must obey all laws and not be arrested for any other crimes. This could be a huge nightmare for his probation if he is arrested and charged.
Rihanna “has made it very clear to everyone around her that she doesn’t want to hear anything negative about Chris. She isn’t interested in listening to the fears her friends have about the the two young singers spending time together,” the source says.

Andre 3000 Talks Plans For New Album & Denies Rumors Of An Outkast Album
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard any new music from Andre 3000 with the exception of him jumping on Ke$ha’s ‘Sleazy 2.0’, Beyonce’s ‘Party’ and Young Jeezy’s ‘I Do’. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until this year’s Super Bowl that he actually came out of seclusion and appeared in a Gillette commercial. GQ.com caught up with 3 stacks and got the inside scoop on what he has planned for this year.
Plus, Andre revealed the status of his clothing line Bixby, and answered a question that everyone is dying to know: When is the next Outkast album?
On A plans for new ‘OutKast’ album!
There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There’s a lot of music on the horizon. I’ve been living off the excitement of new artists. I’ve been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, “Hey, Andre, we want you on this song.” So I’ve been taking those calls and for the last two years, I’ve been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I’ve just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I’m planning to do a solo project. I don’t know when it will come out, but hopefully it’ll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don’t know if or when that will happen.
On What To Expect from his new album
The only thing I can really say is I’m going to get back to having fun because that’s what it was all about when I started this in high school—with OutKast—those were like high school dreams. I’m 36 now, so I have grown-man dreams. This album will just be me being myself as normal.
Expectations for your next album couldn’t be higher. What are you most afraid of?
The biggest fear is me thinking about it too much—and that’s why I’m just trying to catch the energy just like I’ve done before. What you all have heard before, I was not thinking, I was just going on cruise control. I was just going at it like any artist. When you look at the Wayne, when you look at the Kanye… I can tell when an artist is in the zone because they’re not thinking and that’s when you’re at your best. So I’m just hoping, at this point, I don’t let my history get in front of my future. You know what I mean?
On resurrecting his clothing line Benjamin Bixby
Yes! But it will just be named Bixby this time. It’s going to be real exciting, I can’t say too much about it, but I can say this year and next year there’s going to be a lot of cool things coming from me fashion-wise. Bixby is one of them.
