IT'S THE KING BITCH! T.I RELEASED FROM PRISON

OK yall so I'm on twitter when I see that Atlantic Records had confirmed that T.I. had been released from prison early!!! I kno Miss Tiny is really happy because I'm just a fan and I'm all excited and ish!! WECOME Home TIP!!!! Originally T.I. was expected to make the move to a halfway house in early 2010, but Christmas came early. According to T.I.'s attorney Steve Sadow, who confirmed T.I.'s release, said it is "not out of the ordinary." Harris was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for weapons charges resulting from an October 2007 incident when he was arrested for sending a bodyguard to purchase machine guns and silencers. Sadow said prisoners sentenced to 366 days are eligible for a 54-day sentence reduction for good behavior.

The Bureau of Prisons will consider a prisoner with six months or less remaining on his or her sentence for a halfway house. Harris was expected to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West on Tuesday evening, Sadow said. He will remain there for about three months and will have to abide by the rules of that particular house. Typically, halfway house residents are allowed to leave the house during regular work hours and are allowed more contact with their families and communities.
Once Harris completes his time in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons in late March, he will still have to finish serving just under 500 hours of community service and about 23 days of home incarceration, Sadow said.
THE KING IS BACK SNITCHES!!!!

Matthew & Tina Knowles Divorce

So Matthew and Tina Kowles (Parents to Beyonce and Solange)released a statement regarding their divorce:
“The decision to end our marriage is an amicable one. We remain friends, parents, and business partners. If anyone is expecting an ugly messy fight, they will be sadly disappointed. We ask for your respect of our privacy as we handle this matter.”
The divorce comes after Matthew was hit with a paternity suit this year. There have always been rumors of Matthew and his infidelity (He is also the father of Kelly Rowland who was born while he was married to Tina)but I guess the paternity suit filed this year was the last straw for Ms. Tina.. smh Matthew you are too old for this foolishness

theybf.com's Natasha on 2010 Black Enterprise Issue

Let me first say that theybf.com is one of my favorite blogs! The site is always on top of their business... I just want to thank her and her team for opening the doors for so many of us bloggers. I blog simply because I like reading celebrity gossip and my blog keeps a lot of my peers up on the gossip as well. So thanks Natasha! Congrats to you and your entire team!! I will be getting my Black Enterprise Magazine!

Words from Natash via theybf.com:

More than 4 years ago I started Young Black and Fabulous simply because I was just another young black woman addicted to celebrities, gossip, and how they lived the fabulous life. I never imagined for one millisecond that it would become a business venture. And more importantly…a lifestyle for so many different types of people.

For January 2010, Black Enterprise magazine chose entrepreneurs to feature and cover their “BE Next” issue. And the theme is focusing on the business leaders of the younger generation who have successfully created their own lanes. It was BEYOND an honor for me to be chosen as one of the four entrepreneurs for the cover feature. (I’m the one standing by the way) I have my YBF fans–many of whom have been with me and my ups and downs from Day 1 when my posts were infiltrated with complaints about law school–to thank for that. Many people simply see a few posts just published on the site everyday without realizing the work, business, relationships, and hardships that come with an internet business such as a celebrity gossip entertainment site. And to be a young black woman in a business world as new as this one. So to be recognized by a business leader in their own right, Black Enterprise, as well as the MANY, MANY YBF fans who know and appreciate all the work I and the YBF team put into the brand and how drastically it’s grown purely by word of mouth, is the most amazing feeling I’ve felt in a long time. More personal words when you read the rest….


The YBF lifestyle isn’t just for celebrities. We all have our own bit of YBF in us. Yes, even my readers who are far from young and black and do not hesitate emailing me telling me that they read and love it anyway. And I love my readers for that. I did not begin this site to embark on a journey to become a celebrity myself. That is still not one of my priorities in the least bit, which is why I choose to stay in the background and focus solely on my business. But my purpose has evolved from just simply writing about red carpets, fab celebrities, and foolywang. I hope to create a path for others to see and follow that encompasses ownership of our own brands and businesses, responsibility, being fabulous in our own right, and putting our own community on a pedestal. It is so necessary in my book of life. And I hope it becomes necessary in yours.

Of course no one and nothing is perfect, and I appreciate my readers who understand that and stick by YBF through its ups and downs. TheYBF.com is on the brink of a brand new re-design and re-launch that I cannot WAIT to get you all involved in. And several other business ventures (including more components on YBF) that will bring fabulosity to other lanes of our lives. So my theme for 2010 is Fearlessness. I actually had second thoughts about opening up and being on front street for this issue of Black Enterprise. I never intended for YBF to be about myself–Natasha–per se. I was just another person who was a fan of celebrities–just like you. But after 3 weeks of wondering why I wanted to say NO so badly to this cover shoot, I realized much of it was fear of what would come next. But tomorrow is never promised. And where much has been given, much will be asked. So I URGE you–urge=more fabulous word for “beg” :) –to pick up a copy (or 5) of this January issue of BE to find out more about me–Natasha–the “friend in your head” you talk with a few times a day. I did it for my readers because you just never know who could be helped or get inspired by it.

YBF and Black Enterprise also came up with a special deal for all you fabulous readers. YBF readers will exclusively get a 1-year Black Enterprise subscription for 50% less than the regular price. You can visit http://bit.ly/BEforYBF to sign up for your subscription. The January 2010 issue is on stands now in some places, and by December 29th, 2009 everywhere.

Happy 40th Anniversary to Black Enterprise. Check out the site for the behind the scenes video from the shoot. Shout out to my fabulous personal stylist for the shoot Jason Rembert. And thanks to AOL Black Voices for my interview about the BE cover story.

STAY FAB!

Well Got Damn Dwight Howard! Sues BabyMama

Dwight is suing his child's mother for $142,500 which is $500 for each of her 285 twitter followers plus attorney fees. According to court documents, Royce was ordered by a judge in 2008 to refrain from posting pics of their son on Internet.
Dang just a few weeks back he sued her for 9.2 million for reportedly bashing him on a message board.. smh Ok Dwight what are you not doing that Diddy and Wayne are doing?! They each have way more babymama's than you and they neva have as much drama as you seem to have. So my advice to you, Dwight(you know I love you), is to call one of them for some advice. smh To Ms. Royce #siturassdown before Dwight takes the few pennies you may have :p
via Royce Reeds Twitter
"Hahahahahaha! I’m being sued again! For posting pics of my child! Am I the only parent that posts pics of their pride and joy? #Imjustsayin. I’m still trynna figure out where my 9.2 million stash is and this additional 142 grand. Damn I’m balling and didn't know. Where have i been? lol . Love to post pics of us just having fun. I never respond to ignorance unless I have to. I never knew after leaving a situation that someone or some people would try to make my life hell. But I was warned if I left it would happen. But I am still happy and I’m still standing"
smh at this drama

Rose from 227 dies at 63 from Cancer

Remember Rose from 227? Well she died last Thursday from Breast Cancer. Lil Duval made a valid point Sunday via twitter, he kept saying how people were so shocked at Brittany Murphy's death but no one even mentioned Actress Alaina Reed-Hall's death. She had been battling cancer for two years now. She also played Olivia Robinson on "Sesame Street" for a dozen years beginning in the mid-1970s. May she R.I.P My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Actress Brittany Murphy dies at 32

Geez this has been , in my eyes, the year of death. I know death happens everyday but this year I've had several people close to me die all of a sudden. That feeling seems to be true to so many family members of celebs. Last week it was Chris Henry and today is Brittany Murphy. She was 32 years old and dies after suffering a heart attack. Most of us remember her from being TY on Clueless. Soo sad.. smh She was soo young. Never Take life for granted because tomorrow is not promised.

Cinncinati Bengals Wide Receiver Chris Henry Dies

Lastnight I was on twitter when I learned that Chris Henry was involved in a domestic dispute with his fiancee that landed him in the hospital on life support. Very sad story. This morning I turned to ESPN to catch up and learned that he died. My thoughts and prayers go out to his three children, fiancee, and his family.

"Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died, one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.

Police say Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.

When officers arrived, they found Henry, 26, laying in the road, apparently suffering from life-threatening injuries. Medics transported him to the Carolinas Medical Center. His condition has not been released. Based on information gathered by police at the scene, a domestic situation began at a residence on Peachtree Road. According to police, his fiancée got into a pickup truck and drove away from the residence. As she was driving away, Henry jumped into the bed of the truck. Police say at some point when his fiancée was driving, Henry fell out of the back of the truck."

Movie Review: The Blind Side

This movie came out around the same time Precious did. In fact I thought Precious was sold out and was going to see this until I got to the ticket booth. I am a Memphian and this movie made me proud! Michael Oher is the result of how God can turn a bad situation into something great! Michael Oher grew up in the projects of North Memphis with a cocaine addicted mother. He lived where ever he could quite frankly until he started attending Braircrest Christian School and met the Tuohy family. Mrs. Leigh Ann Tuohy saw something in Michael. She took him into her home, got him a tutor for school, and showed him how it feels to be loved. The movies is so heartwarming. Michael was introduced to football in the 11th grade and became one of the most sought after players in the country by his senior year. He was drafted by Ole Miss University where he graduated and then entered the NFL draft. He was picked up by the Ravens! The movie did not speak on his other 12 siblings and there where abouts. I love stories like this :P

Charlie Murphy's wife dies from Breast Cancer

Actor/comedian Charlie Murphy lost his wife due to breast cancer on Sunday. Tisha Taylor Murphy had been battling breast cancer for the past two years now. They had been married for 12 years and have two children together. His publicist released a statement on his behalf:
"The Murphy Family appreciates all of the support they have received from friends and fans and requests privacy during this very difficult time."

We are praying for the entire Murphy family..

O SNAP.. More Pleasure P Drama

Even though Pleasure P is still denying the child molestation charges, the alleged mother of the alleged victim has spoken out. She pretty much confirms the papers that leaked on the net are real. She says she sent her child to live with her father because she was going to prison. While in jail she received papers back from the Dept. of Children and Families saying the child could not live in that house.

After the Department ran everyone’s name in the house (standard procedure), her child was removed. The reason is because Marcus Cooper (Pleasure P) could not be in the home with the boy. The mother asked why, and that’s what she found out about Marcus’ past. He had a charge dealing with child molestation but the papers proving it were sealed.

Damn.. Damn.. she does say that Pleasure P never touched her child and the only way they found out about the molestation charge is because of the background check.. Damn Pleasure!! Damn is all I'm going to say.. And that's all folks

Rihanna "Hard" Preview

Here's the preview for Rihanna's "Hard" video ft. Young Jeezy! I love it! I love it! It's sooo chic in a military sort of way.. This is one of my favorite songs on the Rated R cd.

Here's Rihanna's take on the video:
It’s couture military. Everything is surrounded around the idea of something military. We have tanks, we have troops, we’ve got helicopters, we’ve got explosions. We’ve got lots of cute outfits, lots of bullets. It’s crazy.”

It premieres Thursday at 4p on MTV. GOOD LOOK

Chris Brown deletes his TWITTER?!

So last week Chris was going in on the industry blackballing his cd. He even said he went to a Walmart and asked if they had his cd in the back and was told no! I swear the drama these celebs make on twitter must drive their publicist crazy! But it's soo entertaining so say the least :P He officially deleted his account. Here are his last words:
“I WANNA THANK MY FANS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I LOVE YALL. GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ROBIN THICKE FT. NICKI MINAJ *LIVE*

So Robin Thicke (HIS ALBUM IS IN STORES NOW!)performed "Shakin It For Daddy" yesterday on 106 n Park and he brought Nicki Minaj along to rap her part! Nicki has got to work on her performance.. I've never seen her perform in person but I hear she does a lot of standing around.. She actually looked like she forgot some of the lyrics to her rap smh(big no no) I think she looked great nonetheless! Big change from when she came to debut the "Bed Rock" video! Thank God! Myspace rapper turned YOUNG MULA BABY!!
*Sidenote* Check Terrence J's face afta he looks at Nicki "dump truck" speechless

TIMBALAND ft. Drake "Say Something"

I'm upset that my boss has been working this record for over two months now and I just decided to listen to it today.. Any who I really like this song! The lyrics and video go soo well together! That chorus aint no joke! Say Something! It's crazy how things change on your journey to success. Crazy how a person will try to "judge" what you have done and what you will do in the future based solely on what they think.. Damn peeps on this road you will loose some friends(some who probably secretly hated on you) and gain some friends who want nothing more than to see you shine! O an that for family members, and boyfriend/girlfriends as well! Enjoy the video!

Pleasure P Drama and more Drama

Here's Pleasure P's Official statement regarding the child molestation rumors:
“All of the recent rumors and accusations that are being circulated about me are 100-percent false,” the statement reads. “They are disgusting and vile, and they are being spread by individuals with their own sick agendas. The purported documents that are also being circulated are forgeries. I have never met or known anyone by the name of ‘AGoldstein’ or Laura Goldstein or Ashley Goldstein, which I believe are fictitious names. I have never been represented by an attorney named Goldstein. For someone to go to such depths to assassinate my character and slander my good name is truly criminal. My attorneys are investigating this matter and will take all necessary and appropriate action to protect my name and reputation.”

OK guys I haven't updated in a minute! I could not believe what I was reading when this Pleasure P molestation story broke.. So according to @AGoldsteingirl her father
represented Pleasure is a cildd molestation case. She is upset that Pleasure P hasn't paid her father for his legal fees. She also says that Pleasure P has people calling and threatening her family. Not only does the "supposed" court documents but she also has comments that were made from members of Pretty Ricky made via twitter. I hope this is not true because I like Pleasure P. So I'm just going to keep my eyes and ears opened to see how this plays out. Meanwhile the lawyers daughter is still wilin out via twitter

Keyshia Cole Preggo Rumors Confirmed

I have been saying this for quite some time now.. But Keyshia Cole's pregnancy has been confirmed by Sister to Sister Magazine. Keyshia is due in March by her boyfriend, NBA baller, Daniel Gibson. Congrats again to the couple.. I must say you did a good job hidding this Ms. Cole! Although I knew what was up when you started being a no-show to some of the biggest events.. You're going to be a great mommy!
SISTER TO SISTER REPORTS:
A source close to the “Trust” singer told S2S that Keyshia is expecting and the baby is due in March. There’s no word on what the baby’s gender is at this time.

This news confirms rumors that Keyshia is pregnant.

Although, the couple is having a baby together, they’re not planning to jump the broom just yet. Put simply: Daniel hasn’t put a ring on it yet.


That isn’t the only new addition to Keyshia’s family, though. We found out that Frankie has located another of her long-lost children, a 17-year-old daughter, who is also expecting.


Supposedly the second season of the “Frankie & Neffe Show” won’t get greenlighted by BET until Frankie gets her act together.

Frankie you know you need this money! Get it together will you! O Congrats to Frankie for finding yet another child.. That makes what five? two more to go

WORLD AIDS DAY.. STAY PROTECTED

World Aids Day is observed today,December 1, each year and is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. It is common to hold memorials to honor persons who have died from HIV/AIDS on this day. Government and health officials also observe the event, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics.

To date AIDS has claimed over 25 million lives

Damn Tiger Woods! (Domestic Violence)?!

So as all of you know by now Tiger Woods' wife is looking like she "possibly" put the beatdown on his azz after she found out about his lil jump off. She supposedly scratched up his face and chased him down with a golf club( bet they will no longer be laying around so loosely from now on hehehehehe) and banged up his Escalade. Tiger got distracted and hit a tre and fire hydron near his home.. Sounds like "When a white woman is fed up" The funny part about all of this is that he and his wife have been able to avoid the police for the past two days.. SMH This makes me angry because if this were the other way around Tiger (no matter how black he doesn't want to be) would be in jail like ummm 3 days ago, and the media would be bashing him by now! But o well I guess Tiger doesn't want that bad publicity for his wife.

Tiger Woods Statement:
As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.
PICS OF THE CAR:

Damn Tiger Insurance going up right about now....
