Chris Brown's YRB Magazine over is hot!
Amidst all the hoopla about Rihanna's multiple interviews and his own incessant tweeting, Chris Brown shot a cover for YRB Magazine. Like his new album cover, I think this is hot.
Cougar Town
You may have heard cougar Toni Braxton and young buck Trey Songz shared a passionate kiss a la Halle Berry and Jaime Foxx at the Spike TV awards. Well, you may not have heard Toni and her husband of eight years, Keri Lewis of the group Mint Condition, have separated. With a seasoned beauty like Toni on the prowl, some of the cookie cutter young R&B starlets don't stand a chance of competing. Source: Essence.com
Oprah shared her cover
For only the second time in the history of O Magazine, Oprah shared her cover--with Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen campaigned shamelessly for the better part of a year to get Oprah to feature her on the cover. I'm not sure what finally tipped it for O...
Kids, stay in school
"Winner" (if you can call it that) of Real Chance of Love Hot Wings has been tweeting about how she can't get in touch with Chance. Well, after Hot Wings' followers started tossing about accusationas of his homosexuality he shot back a rebuttal to Miss Wings: “HOTWINGS DIS HOTWINGS DAT LOL YALL DONT WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

Rihanna describes the aftermath of the incident
“So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”During the interview, she confirmed that Brown, 20, held her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers the night before the Grammys.”I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” Rihanna said. “But again … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.”Rihanna - who drops a new album, Rated R, Nov. 23 - said she wanted to speak out now to help others who may be in a similar situation.”It’s completely normal to go back. It’s not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know,” she said. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for going back.”Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls?” she went on. “These are young girls and I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”Rihanna said the past few months have been one of the “most lonely times” for her because “nobody understands what it’s like.”Said the singer, “There are a lot of women who’ve experienced what I did, but not in the public. So it made it really difficult. I just felt like, ‘Oh my God, here it goes, my little bit of privacy.’”
Gabrielle Union was raped
Gabrielle Union recently opened up to the Global Grind community about a tragic incident from her youth: “When I was 19 years old, I was raped. I was working at a shoe store in California, and the store was robbed. The person robbing the store ended up putting a gun to my head and raping me. As he was raping me, I felt as though I was floating over myself, thinking, ‘This isn’t happening.’ I blanked out and had an out-of-body experience, like I was hovering above seeing this horrible thing happen to someone else…not me. I was fortunate enough to go the UCLA rape crisis center after this horrific ordeal. It gave me my life back. My dignity and self-esteem were gone and they helped me find them again. That’s why I now lobby for state legislatures across the country and the federal government to help raise funds and awareness for rape crisis centers, and I speak to all different kinds of people across the country about what happened to me. My goal is to never hear the words ‘me too’ from someone after I say ‘I was raped.”
BeBe Winans is banned from Oprah for now...
O took a harsh moral stance on Chris Brown since he beat Rihanna. Well, BeBe Winans' wife, whoever she is,raised hell last week after the famous gospel singer appeared on Oprah. Winans was charged with domestic assault last winter, and he is due back in court in January. O through a rep responded: "BeBe will not be appearing on the 'Oprah' show until his legal(domestic violence) matters are resolved in court."
I flew all the way to Berlin and all I got were these lousy awards....
Mrs.Carter thanks Jay for puttin' a rang on it at the MTV EMA's...
Mariah almost took a spill
Mariah Carey almost took a nasty spill during her appearance on Jay Leno this week. Mrs. Cannon blamed her trip on a loose shoe strap, but her ample bosom about to pop out of that tight dress might have more than a little bit to do with unbalancing her. She later redeemed herself by being utterly charming and getting an *ahem* "rise" out of Jay while demonstrating sexy 'parfume' application.
Kim K. got smacked upside the head
Kim Kardashian got smacked upside the head by a fan who placed the highest bid in an auction benefitting the Dream Foundation Charity. Her opponent gave her a black eye in the process of trying to beat her to the white meat hours after her younger brother Rob suffered a concussion in his boxing match. Kim blogged about the match saying, “At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts. You can try to bring the Kardashians down … but we’re a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can’t hold us down!”
Oprah leaving Chicago for LA
Oprah Winfrey and the Discovery Network are preparing a press release announcing the move of her talk show from Chicago to Los Angeles when her current contract ends. Work in LA for the daytime talk show on the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) should begin in 2011. The show will no longer be shown on local network stations.Winfrey already owns a home in Montecito, CA near Santa Barbara, along with other real estate holdings around the country (including the Chicago studios). It appears with her own cable network, the advancement of other projects in the pipeline (Precious), her alliance with Tyler Perry, then include her new LA studio plans may forecast more film industry deals in the future.
Jordan's son cost UCF the entire adidas contract
Michael Jordan's son played Wednesday night for UCF wearing his father's trademark Air Jordans instead of the adidas shoes stipulated by the schoolwide contract with the company prompting them to take drastic measures: adidas will not renew the university's contract when it expires next June. “The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to adidas,” the company said in a statement given to CNBC. “As a result, we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward.” As of yet, the university has no prospects to replace the lucrative contract which extended to all its athletics. Nike and Jordan have made no comment on the matter. adidas should hit up Rev. Run's fam.
Iron Chef America invited to White House
The Food Network announced Wednesday that an episode of "Iron Chef America" will be taped at the White House featuring Mario Batali, Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse.
The three chefs, joined by White House chef Cristeta Comerford, will be welcomed by the first lady and allowed to use anything found in the garden to help create their meals.

Kansas City doesn't like Larry Johnson
Larry Johnson has ruffled a lot of feathers in Kansas City with his liberal use of an anti-gay slur in public as well as a host of other offenses. Some fans are circulating a petition to keep Johnson from breaking Priest Holmes' all-time rushing record:
We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the
pride that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson. Please
do not let his name sit atop the all-time rushing leaders in Kansas City Chiefs
history. He needs a mere 80 yards to surpass Priest. He doesn’t deserve that
opportunity. He has never represented anything close to the values that we have
for our Chiefs and it would be another dagger to the fans that continue to
support this proud franchise.

I am having computer problems
Readers, I picked up a nasty computer trojan from visiting another well-known gossip site (which shall remain nameless). I am in the process of correcting the problem. Right now I am mobile posting and I hate it! I probably won't be able to post until this evening. Please check back through the day for posts from Where's My Stimulus? and feel free to converse in the comment section of our current posts.

Rev. Al Sharpton's women were arrested
According to the New York Post, Rev. Al Sharpton's ex-wife and daughter were arrested Friday night after an alleged road rage incident. According to police, Kathy Jordan, 53, and her daughter, Dominique Sharpton, 23, were placed handcuffed and taken to a police precinct where they were issued desk-appearance tickets and released; they were stopped after his daughter got tired of trailing behind a slow-moving un-marked police car. Allegedly, she honked her horn, tailgated the vehicle, and eventually illegally passed the car in a no-passing zone while running a red light. Sharpton and Jordan also allegedly tried to use the Reverend's name to get out of the charges. There will undoubtedly be much more revealed about this developing story in time.Gabrielle Union is such a girl-next-door
She recently told Men's Health Magazine, "If it’s a choice between a man who gives flowers and a man who enjoys giving oral, most women would take the oral. And it’s free. Oral sex is recession-proof."
Nas isn't a sucker
Even though many media are reporting a Nas and Kelis reconciliation, Nas still isn't falling for the okedoke. According to Tee eM Zee, Nas recently filed papers seeking joint custody of their newborn son and seeking to bar Kelis from receiving spousal support. I don't see anything wrong with that. Kelis is a star in her own right and has plenty of her own money and a father should participate in the raising of his children, sooo. Of course, it seems he doesn't want to come up off of any paper...if he does get joint custody, I hope he takes it seriously.
BTW, two questions: 1) what is he looking at in this picture and 2) doesn't the back of that dress look like the front?
I don't know if this was the Ciroc Vodka warehouse...

Leona Lewis loves her blue collar man
British X-Factor breakout star Leona Lewis has to defend her enduring relationship with Electrician Lou Al-Chamaa time and again. They have been since she was 17 and she refers to him as her best friend. She says, "It does make me angry. Because he’s a great person. And it doesn’t matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from." She told The Observer, "This is real life, it isn’t make believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you’re a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them." Kudos to her for keeping it real and not giving in to the pressures of stardom and "handlers." So many people make it big and forget from whence they came. She has a man who loves her, and that's all that matters.
You'll have to wait until January for those snakeskin shoes
Yes, those are the Loubotin blue snake skin Declics.Florida's first-ever python hunting season ended last night. State wildlife authorities sponsored the pilot program in an attempt to put a dent in the state's exploding python population. Python species like the Burmese Python were introduced into the wild by would-be pet owners who buy the pets at reptile shows and pet stores then realize they cannot properly care for the fast-growing voracious eaters. The snakes can grow to be over 10 feet long and weigh over 250 lbs; it is estimated several thousand of the snakes now inhabit the numerous wild areas in south and central Florida with numbers increasing daily due to natural reproduction and lack of natural predators; earlier this year, officials found a deceased python who had burst open after ingesting a large alligator.

Chris Brown's new artwork
Dude obviously has a love for graffiti culture. Remember those pictures from his crib? I think this cover is hot! The cyborg hand is a bit disturbing, but I really like the edginess of the whole set. I think both Chris and Rihanna are going to blow up with their newest albums. What do you think?
Jennifer Lopez: "Fresh Out The Oven"
Here is a sneak peak of JLo's new song "Fresh Out the Oven". You know you've been waiting YEARS for Jenny From The Block's new joint--or not.
Keyshia come get your mama
Frankie appeared on Judge Mathis...did you know she's been arrested 33 times?
Rihanna finally breaks her silence
Rihanna will appear on Good Morning America Thursday morning. In her first interview since the infamous incident with Chris Brown this past February, Rihanna spoke with Diane Sawyer about domestic violence and her feelings for Chris. " "This happened to me... It can happen to anyone...he was definitely my first big love." Rihanna goes on to talk about how disconcerting it was to have the media following her every move. (I'm not buying that at all; she courts media attention like a moth to a light bulb.) She will also appear on 20/20 Friday evening. I find it curious she did not grant her first interview to Oprah considering how vocal Oprah was in her support following the media firestorm. Rihanna's new single titled "Russian Roulette" just hit the airwaves...
Whitney Houston is selling her mansion
Whitney Houston is selling her New Jersey mansion for $5.6 million, or less than half of what she paid for it in the early '90's. The 12561 square foot home has a four-car garage, floor-to-ceiling windows, three fireplaces and more.
Things that make you go hmmmm....
Did you know that the House Ethics Committee is currently investigating seven African American lawmakers for possible ethics violations--15% of the total amount of African American lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives--and not a single European American lawmaker? The Congressional Black Caucus is skittish about pulling the race card just yet, but the probes are the talk of the town behind closed doors.
Mo' Finally Shows on Precious Red Carpet
For the LA premiere at AFI Fest...It appears the films' distributor Lionsgate has come to terms with the actress (details not disclosed) and Mo'Nique flew in from the ATL to attend. Precious opens nationwide on November 13th. Was Mo crazy to hold out from attending Precious premieres or trying to be a good bid'ness woman?

The Orange and Black House
President and Mrs. Obama hosted a halloween party at the White House on Saturday. Michelle dressed as the cat woman (who did it better? Mrs. O or Halle Berry?) and Barack dressed as the scariest man in the world: the president who will keep the Republicans in the minority until at least 2016.

Solange splits from Interscope....
Though Solange has been currently recording new music for her third solo CD, that music is being recorded independently as she has yet to ink a new deal with another label.
Solange's peoples, Music World Entertainment made the following comment:
“Solange felt it necessary to go with a smaller, independent label that focuses more on the alternative genre, one that reflects her music style and artistry. Solange is working on a new album and the label will be announced shortly. The relationship with Interscope is excellent and the current album, ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams’ is still being worked through the Music World/ Interscope joint venture with consistent weekly sales.”
Bob Marley makes $600 million a year...bootlegged
Heirs of the Jamaican reggae legend are plunging into the global trademark wars, seeking to enforce their exclusive rights to an image that has grown steadily in scope and appeal since the Jamaican superstar died of brain cancer in 1981 at age 36.
The Marley name, look and sound are estimated to generate an estimated $600 million a year in sales of unlicensed wares. Legal sales are much smaller — just $4 million for his descendants in 2007, according to Forbes magazine. The Marleys refuse to give a figure.
After 28 years the family has hired Toronto-based Hilco Consumer Capital to protect their rights to the brand. Hilco CEO Jamie Salter believes Marley products could be a $1 billion business in a few years. "The family managed all the rights before Hilco was brought on board," said Marley's fourth son, Rohan. "We didn't have a real good grasp on the international scope prior to Hilco, nor the proper management."
The partnership is creating a new line of products dubbed "House of Marley" and will police the trademark vigilantly. Snowboards and tropical Jamaica may seem an odd pairing, but they're among a wide variety of planned merchandise featuring the dreadlocked musician's image, name or message — backpacks, stationery, headphones, musical instruments, restaurants.
Items are expected to hit the market in mid-2010.
Mel B. is a Valley Girl
Singer Melanie Brown, also known as Scary Spice from her days with the Spice Girls, has purchased a gated home in the San Fernando Valley area for about $3.15 million in saved-up child support checks from Eddie M.
The country French-style house has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms in more than 8,000 square feet of living space. Wrought-iron doors open to an entry foyer with limestone floors. The chateau, its 1,352-square-foot detached media house and a swimming pool sit on more than half an acre.
Designed by Xorin Balbes and built in 2006, the house has a fireplace in the family room, living room and master bedroom, plus three dishwashers and a yoga studio.
Brown and her husband, Stephen Belafonte, bought the home because they have plans to expand their family, said Charmaine DeGraté, an agent with Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, who also represented Brown in the $3.14-million sale of her Hollywood Hills residence in April. That house had four bedrooms and four bathrooms in 3,476 square feet.

Is that a ferret in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
A man tried to steal a ferret from a Pet Supermarket store in Jacksonville by stuffing the ferret down his pants. When confronted, he tried to use the live animal as a weapon. He was arrested and booked on various charges which probably should have included extreme weirdness and suspicion of being a zoophiliac.
