Alicia Keys was a no show to a party appearance at Pacha nightclub in midtown NYC. The promoters were $4,000 short on her $15,000 payment for the appearance so she was circling the block while they came up with the dough:

Alicia was slated for a midnight arrival, but by the time 1:30 a.m. rolled around, her bodyguards, friends and even boyfriend were all inside waiting for her. Outside, Keys drove around the neighborhood. “These promoters were digging in their pockets, looking for cash, and were still short. The owner of the club even offered to pay the remainder of the owed money himself, just to get her in the club.” That’s where fans who’d paid $25 a pop were waiting, says the spywitness: “One eight-months-pregnant lady, who is an Alicia Keys superfan, showed up and waited for hours just to see her.” Continue »

There is some confirmation on the status of Fantasia’s love life. Sandra Rose is confirming from a reliable source that Fantasia and rapper Young Dro are indeed a couple, in a relationship, etc. and the two spend a lot of time together.

They look good together and actually seem like they would enjoy each other’s company. There’s nothing better than relationship where you can share everything from loving shoulder leans to tattoo advice.

OJ Simpson was on Delta flight from Las Vegas to Florida recently and apparently he was quite the chatterbox filling the flight patron’s ears with a bunch of nonsense:

First, the double-murder acquitee yammered on about his latest brush with the law – being charged with kidnapping and robbery for allegedly sticking up two sports dealers he claims ripped off his memorabilia. “He said he knew this guy, the guy had helped him move out and put a lot of his stuff in warehouses, and he stole the stuff. Claims there were pictures of his family, etc., etc. Claimed the gun part was ‘[bleep]ing bull[bleep]‘ – but he didn’t sound all that convincing.” Continue »

Jay-Z and MSN has made it so fans can view the taping of his sold out American Gangster concert in New York online:

Starting on November 19, fans can visit music.msn.com/jayz to access the concert for free. The free online broadcast gives fans the chance to witness Jay-Z, who sold out his five-date American Gangster tour in less than 5 minutes. Jay-Z’s American Gangster moved over 440,000 copies its first week in stores, tying Elvis Presley’s record for the artist with the most #1 albums, placing them behind The Beatles, who have 19 #1 releases.

Great it’s about time all those dollars people are shoveling out buying records and paying for concert tickets are being used for something.  Good for Hov, we glad to see that his album is doing better than Kingdom Come, now he can officially go out with a bang for real.  Retirement after making history is better than retirement after putting out mediocrity.

Serena Williams came out to support her sister Venus last night at the launch party for her clothing line “EleVen” at Tenjune in NYC. Damn, Serena is still trying to sex it up, and she might actually be getting good at it. Venus still has some way to go, but she is definitely looking waaaay better than she was the last time we saw her.

More images from that event under the hood… Continue »

A friend of the West family says that Kanye is devastated by his mother’s death and is in “denial”, which is certainly understandable considering the situation. Via NY Daily News:

“I don’t think Kanye was aware Donda was getting the surgery, or certainly the extent of it. He loved and supported her just the way she was. He thought she was beautiful.”

“Donda had image issues, like a lot of women.”

In other Kanye news, we has pulled out of performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show that is to air December 4th. Our prayers still go out to Kanye, we know this is a rough time for him, but we are sure he will turn tragedy to triumph like he has in the past.

Mary J. Blige is on the cover the November issue of Genlux magazine.  She is actually getting better with age in the appearance department.  We remember when Mary’s steez was a little different a few years back (See thumbnail).  She looks good.

New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury recently had a little fit after finding out that he won’t be starting in the next game:

“Isiah has to start me,” Marbury fumed, according to the source. “I’ve got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I’ll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know.”

Stephon Marbury is always running his mouth. Hopefully he doesn’t start so we can hear some more dirt on Isiah Thomas and his sexual harassing ass.

Jennifer Hudson was out with her long time boyfriend James Peyton last night at the Vacheron Constantin Watch Launch in NYC. How nice, so much for the Kerry Rhodes bathroom romp two weeks ago.

Jenn’s girls are looking quite healthy in that dress we might add.

Word is that Halle Berry’s K-Fraud Gabriel Aubry does not plan on moving in LA to raise their child, but wants to live in New York to continue pursuing his modeling career instead. Apparently, Halle is not happy with the situation:

“She’s been shocked by the news. Halle had always assumed Gabriel would move to the west coast so they could live together as one happy family. If Gabriel stays in New York, it’ll mean long separations. She knows their relationship won’t survive and has been begging him to change his mind. Halle hardly knew her own dad and they were still estranged at the time of his death, so she’s desperate for her daughter to have a father she sees regularly.”

We told you something shady was going on with that Gabriel character a long time ago, it was just a matter of time…

Meagan Good was spotted recently kicking it in LA. It’s nice to see a picture of her without a pack of cigarettes in her hands. No comment on the earrings.
