New Couple Alert: Angela Simmons and Romeo Miller
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 Kardashian was courting Angela
Simmons at some point last year.
In other news, Angela Simmons looks stunning in her latest photo shoot for Haute Magazine. Check out the images from the shoot below:
Donald Trump Rehashes Obama "Birther" Debate
Donald Trump is still questioning President Obama's
citizenship. The real estate tycoon's short-lived bid to become
president was never taken seriously by the American public, and now
Trump is drumming up more un-needed personal attention by blasting the
commander in chief. “I've never really changed. Nothing's changed my
mind,” he told CBS News.
Trump has also publicly endorsed Mitt Romney,
who now has enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination. Given
the unfavorable spotlight brought on by Trump, Romney has distanced
himself from the controversy, maintaining that he believes that the
president is in fact a U.S. citizen. As for Trump, he feels that the
president's birthplace is among the most important issues surrounding
his re-election campaign. “Is it the most important thing? In a way it is. You're not allowed to be the president if you're not born in the country.”
Last year Obama caved to Trump's demands by releasing a copy of his birth certificate
which clearly shows his birth place as Honolulu. “We do not have time
for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do,” the president
said. “Over the last two and half years, I have watched with
amusement. I have been puzzled with the degree with which this thing
just kept going.”
Perhaps any inquiries surrounding Obama's birth place are merely a
distraction tactic by Romney's campaign, as he prepares to delve into a
race that will likely define his political career. However, just in
case there is anymore leftover doubt, click below to view a copy of the
president's birth certificate.
Kanye West's Nike Air Yeezy 2 Gets Official Release Date
Get you chair or tent ready if you're really about that sneaker camp-out life. Kanye West's ridiculously anticipated signature sneaker, the Nike Air Yeezy II, will be officially released on June 9th.
According to a press release from Nike, the Air Yeezy II's outsole is
based on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II tennis sneaker and its upper is
inspired by cross trainers.
There's absolute function at the Air Yeezy II's core. Unnecessary padding was eliminated, and the foot-hugging tongue and plush collar are both comfortable and breathable. Fit was essential to the design with the goal to make the shoe slimmer than the original by tailoring it to Kanye West's foot. The collar was also lowered to allow for greater movement.
An obsessive approach to materials results in a luxurious mix of leather, rugged ballistic nylon, and soft nubuck. Concealed but opulent details reference ancient civilizations, including a loop strap with hieroglyphics that spell out 'YZY.' Each screw on lace aglet is obelisk shaped, and the anaconda texture is echoed on the eyelets and leather lace toggle that carries the Roman numeral 'II.'
Although thought to be dropping in France first, the Platinum and
Black colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy II will be available globally at
select retailers June 9th. Sneaker News reports
the Air Yeezy 2 will retail for $250. Peep photos, along with color
design sketches, of the highly coveted show in the gallery. How many
pairs are you copping? Wait, do you even have a job that allow you to
afford these kicks?
Woman Named Kanye West Busted For Vandalizing Store Window
Kanye West's biggest fans has found herself in
legal trouble. The woman, who legally changed her name to Kanye West in
honor of the Chicago MC, entered a guilty plea Wednesday (May 30) in response to charges that she threw an amplifier through a store window.
While the motivation behind her tired
has yet to be revealed, the law ended up working out in West's favor,
because her charges were reduced, and she was sentenced to community
service for the act.
West (the woman, not the rapper) made headlines after changing her
name in April of 2011, and declaring her undying love for the “Mercy” rapper. Not surprisingly, the woman –also a native of the Windy City—is not a fan of Kim Kardashian, or Amber Rose. “I was basically doing all type of things to say I love you more than those girls,” she told Chicago radio personality, DJ Moon Dawg, of getting tattoos of the 34-year-old's name on her arm and backside.
Much like her namesake, West doesn't care about anyone else's
opinion. “They don't know Kanye and that's the only person I care
about,” she continued when asked about her mental stability. “Kanye
likes people who [are] completely into him. He was raised by a mom who
gave him 100 percent attention and 100 percent honor and put nobody
before him, and that's how he likes his girl. Until he says ‘you're
crazy,' or unless he gets married I'm going to keep going.”
Since she wasn't given jail time for vandalizing the store window, Mr. Kanye West might want to watch his back.
Celebs On The Scene: Sean Kingston and Shaniece, Cassie & Diddy, Eve & Maximillion, Gabrielle Union and More
It looks as though Evelyn Lozada’s daughter, Shaniece, has found herself a new man. A few months ago, Shaniece and her rumored boyfriend singer Sean Kingston were spotted hanging out at Katsuya in LA and this past weekend the new couple hit up the red carpet in Vegas for a party at Lavo. Shaniece is too cute and Sean Kingston better treat her right!
Down in Miami, Cassie looked amazing in a white swimsuit as she hung out with Diddy and The Weeknd.
Gabrielle
Union is still keeping her almost 40 year old body in tact. She was
spotted showing off her bikini body this past weekend in Miami while
hanging out with her friends Chantel and Savannah Brinson.
If you are wondering why Eve hasn’t released an album in a few years, it’s because she’s been enjoying and traveling the world with her British man Maximillion Cooper, owner of Gumball 3000. She was spotted this past weekend at the Indianapolis 500 race supporting the Gumball 3000 rally with Maximillion as well as skateboarder Terry Kennedy and Nigel Sylvester.
Over in LA, couples Malcolm Jamal Warner and Regina King and Flex Alexander and Shaniece were spotted celebrating Niecey Nash’s one year wedding anniversary party. Other celebs guests included Brandy, Angela Bassett and Frenchie Davis.
And
Rapper Flo Rida spent his holiday weekend in Miami. He was spotted on
south beach chatting it up with a mystery girl while being snapped by
the paparazzi.
Allen Iverson Requests That His Wife Be Thrown In Jail
Allen Iverson and his wife, Tawanna's,
break-up-to-make-up routine has hit another low point. Iverson filed a
motion to have the mother of his children thrown in jail for ruining his
house, reports TMZ.
The former NBA baller was busy hooping in China,
and returned home to find his home ransacked. According to the motion,
Tawanna allegedly stole his sports memorabilia, furniture, and cash.
A.I. claims to have asked for the safe return of his belongings but to
no avail. As a result, he is requesting that a judge hold her in
contempt of court for harassment, and throw her behind bars until she
gives back the items. He also asked that she no longer be allowed to
enter his home.
A judge has yet to rule on the matter, but here's hoping she didn't get her hands on those Reebok Question Mids.

Terrence And Rocsi Announce Their Departure From BET’s 106 And Park
We’ve had the opportunity to connect with BET hosts Rocsi and
Terrence through our television screens over the last seven years and
now they have officially confirmed that they will be moving on from ’106
and Park’ through an announcement that was televised during yesterday’s
show. It an emotional five minute speech, Terrence and Rocsi not only
announced that they would be leaving the show, but also detailed the
moment they first received the call from BET’s Stephen Hill with the news
that they would be the new hosts of the show. At the time Terrence had
just lost his job in corporate america and Rocsi was a struggling radio
hosts. It’s stories and moments such as these that gave Terrence and
Rocsi an undeniable bond with
their audience. From Rocsi sharing her personal struggles with an eating
disorder with young girls and helping to rebuild schools in New Orleans
after the Katrina disaster to Terrence spending days in Haiti after the
earthquake feeding families and organizing a road trip across the country to get 100,000 students
registered to vote, those little personal touches and the ability to
inspire and keep their audience informed beyond the 106 and Park stage
was what made them special.
It’s no denying the energy that they’ve brought to that stage every
single day, coupled with their ability to not only connect but inspire
millions of kids across the nation that made them great and
unforgettable hosts and they will truly be missed.
Read their statement [or Watch the video of the announcement] below:
Terrence: There’s been a lot of talk, it’s been all over the place and honestly it’s been premature because we hadn’t decided until now …but we always use this platform to speak to you and today it’s more important than ever.
Rocsi: To start off, we’ve only been able to accomplish all that we’ve accomplished because we put God first in our lives and he has always led us and continues to lead us in all of our steps.
Terrence: After an amazing seven years of being on this show, we have decided together that we will be soon leaving 106 and Park as your hosts. This, by no means, has been an easy decision and it has come after a lot of prayer, a lot of thought and a lot of consideration. First, we’d like to start by thanking BET, this has been an incredible opportunity and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship. There is no way that we are giving up the keys to the door, not just yet. I remember when we got the call from Stephen Hill that we would even be the host of 106 and Park…
Rocsi: A the time, I was a struggling radio personality in Chicago. I was in a city where I had no family, few friends and I felt so alone there and I was just trying so hard in a career that was so hard and I had so many big big dreams and no voice.
Terrence: I had just graduated from North Carolina A&T, I had a job in Corporate America that I lost, people thought I was crazy because I had lost my job and I had no idea how I was going to pay off my student loans and if it wasn’t for my frat brothers, my brother Fred and my boys and family coming together… The first day I cracked the mic on 106, I was staying on a cot in a basement and I don’t know what would have happened if [we didn't have this opportunity].
Rocsi: We both agree that we had no idea and we can’t express how amazing the last seven years have been, how life changing this time has been, and we appreciate you guys so much. We love you. You guys at home, the viewers have been down with us from day one, you’ve let us be a part of your world, your life, everybody here from being the livest audience, everyone in their living room, it’s your energy that fuels us and kept us going and keeps us going still after today.
Terrence: There has been so many meaningful moments that we have shared with you guys. When that earthquake happened in Haiti, people were calling 106 so that we could shout them out and send messages to their loved one, When Michael Jackson passed, when Whitney Houston passed, this show is the one that everyone turned to to watch their videos and celebrate their lives. The inauguration of our first black president, all of those moments we shared them here at 106 and park and we are humbled to be a part of your lives. Thank you!
Rocsi: While we are here, and until the moment we leave, we pledge to continue to bring you young black culture daily in a way that you’ve never seen anywhere else and it continues -this isn’t our last day, we will be back – but it continues to be our honor to even do this for you guys.
Terrence: It’s big things ahead, we are super excited about the next steps that we are going to take in our lives but please believe that we will be leaving with a bang. Stay close and stay by our sides because we have a huge farewell show coming for you guys. A lot of big surprise guests that will be coming by the show and we will go out with a bang. Stay tuned! More details to come. We love you.
Sean Garrett Faces Wage Garnishment Over Unpaid Tax Bill
Sean Garrett needs to start paying his bills. The singer/songwriter clocked a hefty debt to Uncle Sam, according to TMZ. Garrett as skipped out on paying back taxes in 2006 and 2007, and owes the government $732,553.57.
Fed-up with his non-payment, the IRS has allowed for BMI—
the company which collects royalties for the artists it represents—to
garnish Garrett's wages. Being that he is the man behind hits for the
likes of Nicki Minaj, Usher, Ciara, Beyoncé and more, taking away his royalties will be a severe blow to his pockets.
Mary J. Blige Responds To Charity Lawsuit, Says She Doesn't Have “The Right People” On Staff
Mary J. Blige is no longer singing about chicken, but that's not stopping the bad press from piling up. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul's charity—the Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women— is the focus of a lawsuit for failing to pay back a $250,000 loan.
Blige reached out to TMZ to explain that the suit, filed by TD Bank,
is a result of bad employees. "As Founder and CEO of FFAWN, I am
ultimately responsible for anything that goes wrong. The problem is that
I didn't have the right people in the right places doing the right
things. This should have never been allowed to happen, but it did and
now we are fixing it," she said.
The 41-year-old, has been doing a lot of apologizing lately, first repenting for the aforementioned chicken ad, and now promising to work "tirelessly" to get her organization back on track.
Terrell Owens Kicked Off Indoor Football Team
Terrell Owens' bad couple of years have just gotten worse. Aside from falling into a financial abyss, and being sought after for unpaid child support, the football player can now add the words “unemployed” to his bio. According to TMZ, Owens has been dropped from the indoor football team, the Allen Wranglers.
According to team president, Tommy Benizio, the cut was “performance
based,” which hit its peak when Owens missed a team visit to a
children's hospital in Texas.
In recent years the 38-year-old has experienced a steep fall from grace, which he chronicled on his VH1 reality show The T.O. Show. With a career spanning over a decade, Owens worked to rehab his torn ACL in hopes of attracting an NFL team, but settled for the IFL after failing to get picked up by any other teams.
Although Owens has yet to release a statement on the matter, he has been responding to fan comments via his Twitte page.

Lil Wayne And Drake Refuse To Pay $400,000 Court Settlement
According to TMZ
reports:
reports:
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.
