And yesterday, Barbados' tourism ambassador showed us why she landed that title.  Rih posted pics from her Holiday vacay from her native Caribbean island just a few hours from freezing NYC.  And we're pretty much jealous:

While rocking a sexy grey bikini, she snapped some selfies to show the world exactly what she's doing.  Chillin' out.  She also posted a pic of a sandman--instead of a snowman.  Must be nice.

 photo ScreenShot2013-12-22at122502PM_zps946b0206.png
We broke the story of Keshia Knight Pulliam & Big Tigger dating.  And even though we were basically called liars by Mr. Tigger....it looks like he's ready to let the truth be known.

Check out his romantic b-day message from his girl inside....
Back in August, we reported that actress Keshia and V103 radio host Big Tigger were boo'd up courtside AND back at her apartment building.  Tigger quickly said they were "just friends" and not a couple.
Oh really?  Because that tune seems to have changed recently.  The two have been pictured everywhere together...looking way more than just friends.  And for Tigger's birthday today, Keshia posted the above pic saying:
Happy Birthday My Love... My partner in life, love & silliness @bigtiggershow !!!
And with plenty of kisses and heart emojis.
Looks like they're confirming their couple status.  But they're not on that marriage tip quite yet....

 photo spl671339_0291_zpscaf84050.jpg
Are Drake and Zoe Kravitz Drunk In Love...or drunk in lust?  Whatever it is, they've been spotted once again extra boo'd up in the VIP section of Beyonce's recent concert in Brooklyn.  And they took the flirty action back to Drake's tour bus...again!

Pics inside...
Last Thursday at the Barclays Center, Drake was spotted in the VIP section alongside Madonna, her daughter Lourdes, J.Cole....and Drake's his rumored new boo Zoe Kravitz!
After pics of them surfaced a month ago of Zoe aboard his tour bus...tongues started wagging about what could be up between the two of them.  Drake professed his crush on her a few years ago in interviews..and it looks like he's finally getting exactly what he wanted.
As the twosome listened to Bey belt out her love songs, they were spotted kissing and hugging in front of their friends.  And no one seemed to be shocked.  Which makes us believe this isn't the first time...

Well....
They do make a pretty cute couple.  And Drake seems like the type to fall mad hard for a chick after date .5 while Zoe seems unfazed, yet all kinds of fun.

But before they took in the Queen Bey, the twosome hit up Drake's tour bus (he just wrapped his Would You Like A Tour?) and snapped a few pics for IG:

Steve Harvey Gets CLEARED Of Horrific Child Abuse Allegations

Steve Harvey had most of his kids on his talk show recently, and it seems everything is all good with his son Wynton...now.  Steve's been officially cleared of horrible child abuse allegations.  Pics inside...
 photo e7a577b0612711e39f720ea5d06e9e4f_8_zps40798357.jpg
Remember back in 2011 when all that drama was going down between Steve Harvey and his ex wife Mary, who claimed that Steve was didn't care about their now 16-year-old son Wynton and simply took him (their only child together) from her to spite her? 
Well he's finally been cleared of all charges of recent child abuse allegations from when Wynton was 11.  And it seems Wynton is loving living with dad (based on social media postings).
Apparently, a judge held Mary in contempt and sent her to jail on Thursday for leaking sealed allegations to media.  Y'all know she's still mad and trying her damndest to get back at Steve for their split and what went down.
According to TMZ:
As for the incident ... according to a police report -- obtained by TMZ -- Mary claims Steve got a phone call from the boy's school informing him his son lied about turning in homework. According to the kid, Steve hit him with a belt and then a paddle board -- the kind used for hazing in fraternities.
According to the police report ... cops took photos of the boy's injuries, showing bruises on his buttocks and right thigh, as well as cuts on his leg. The police report says the boy told cops, the beating was so brutal he had trouble urinating for days.
The matter was then referred to the Texas Dept. of Family and Protective Services. Steve's rep tells TMZ, the Dept. concluded, "Based on the information obtained, the child does not appear to be at risk ... the case is closed without further investigation."
Wow.  Reportedly, Mary feels it's all a cover up, which may explain why she leaked allegations to media.  The judge was pissed about the leak and her constant attempts to expose Steve, so he sent her to jail.
 
Meanwhile:

Well...Wal-Mart shoppers in Tewksbury, MA got a major shocker while doing some Friday night shopping.  Beyonce popped up, grabbed the P.A. system phones to greet shoppers, and handed out gift cards to the whole store!

Check the pics inside, plus K.Michelle's new video for "Christmas Night"...

Who needs Target & Amazon (since both are salty about Bey giving her exclusive release to iTunes, they either won't be selling the Beyonce album or not selling it totally)?!
Bey is sticking to those who are rolling with her--like Wal-Mart--and doing some fun things to continue promo for her new album.  So, Friday night, Blue's mom walked into Wal-Mart to cop her own album...and to hand out $50 gift cards to everyone in the store.  Her final total: Over $37,000.  Nice!

She grabbed a cart and did some shopping of her own.  And looks like she even picked up baby Blue a few things.
 photo 1474485_10153684889910601_905443716_n_zpsfd082175.jpg
She stopped and kissed some babies politician style.

And caused some ruckus at the checkout counter.  Gotta love it!

Interpreter at Mandela memorial branded 'fake'

SHARE 7455 596 212 COMMENTMORE
PRETORIA, South Africa -- The sign language interpreter used at Tuesday's memorial service for Nelson Mandela, and whose image was broadcast around the world as he shared a stage with world leaders including President Obama, was being called a "fake" by the Deaf Federation of South Africa.
Bruno Druchen, the national director of the federation, sent this tweet as the event was taking place at FNB Stadium on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa:
Wilma Newhoudt, a deaf member of South Africa's parliament, tweeted this:
The Associated Press also reported the allegation Wednesday, saying that three sign language experts who watched the broadcast said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages.
"It was horrible, an absolute circus, really really bad," Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter, told the AP. "Only he can understand those gestures."
USA TODAY was not able to independently confirm the allegations, which if proved true would be an enormous embarrassment to South African officials at a time when the nation is looking to celebrate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
South Africa's government said it is preparing a statement.
Collins Chabane, one of South Africa's two presidency ministers, said the government is continuing to investigate the matter.
Many South Africans were unaware of the sign language controversy Wednesday. Rachel Kika, 47, a teacher from the northern cape was surpirsed.
"I would not think the government would put someone there who did not know what they were doing," she said. "It would be very disappointing. I hope they got the facts wrong. I don't know how that would happen when sign language is an official language."
Bronwen Wilson-Thomson, 50, was shocked such a thing would happen.
"It would be sad if true," she said. "It's not like they can't find people who know sign language."
She said a few years ago, a singer messed up the national anthem by singing it to a different tune during a cricket match. "I guess if we can have someone mess up the national anthem, we can have someone mess up the sign language," she said.
