Tila had another mental breakdown on her Ustream Wednesday night. She rambled on about Shawne Merriman, pranced around naked, and after all that… had the nerve to complain about being labeled an attention whore. She has since blamed it all on black folks, Rihanna and Shawne Merriman:

Tila Tequila had a naked, ranting meltdown Wednesday night on her UStream channel, where she danced around and complained about ex-boyfriend, NFL star Shawne Merriman, whom she says beat her.

At one point, she rambled: “People call me an attention whore … or whatever … but excuse me, I’m a grown a– woman and I’m confident in myself … I think a woman’s body is a beautiful thing … that’s why I’m a lesbian … I was born naked … anybody who is against that is gay and in denial.”

The 28-year-old MTV reality star — real name: Tila Nguyen — now says Merriman’s alleged abuse prompted the bizarre video (which has been taken down). “Well, you know, I couldn’t sleep, and I started getting anxiety,” she tells TMZ of why she made the tape. “I just kind of flipped out a little bit.”

Tila — who is currently filing a $1.5 million lawsuit against Merriman for battery and false imprisonment — said she is “doing OK now.” “When my case first came out, everyone was calling me a liar because [they said] if he really did beat you, you wouldn’t have said anything because Rihanna never said anything [at first],” Tila went on.

“But I am not her,” Tila said. “No offense to Rihanna, but because of what she did, it sends out a message to everyone … ‘When you get beat or abused, keep your mouth shut.”

“So I decided I am going to come out and speak about it and fight for it…” she went on.

“What Rihanna did … her message was to stay quiet,” Tila said, “and that’s not OK.”

Is this broad serious? This stupid b*tch does not get it… YOU ARE IGNORANT AND A HO! (Frankly Put)

There is no doubt that Hurricane Katrina was a storm of colossal proportions, a rarity even in the current climate of super-charged storm fronts, but it is the ruling of a judge that has given a target for all of those effected by the damage left in its wake.

In a monumental ruling, U.S. District Judge Stanwood R. Duval declared that the government, via negligence on the part of the Army Corp of Engineers, is directly responsible for many of the issues that people encountered after the winds settled. Continue…

Toni Braxton called into the Wendy Williams show today during the show’s segment of ‘Hot Topics.’ Toni got right down to the point… The kiss between her and Trey Songz!!!

Flip the Lid for Video

Toni opens up more to Wendy about her separation from her husband of eight years and what he thought of the kiss with Songz:

Toni B: I’m a little sad about it. I really don’t like being separated, I enjoyed being married but we are definitely separated. We’re great friends and we have kids together and we still work together, but um, yeah we are separated.

Wendy: But he was there at the Soul Train Awards.

Toni B: Yes.

Wendy: What did he say about that kiss?

Toni B: Actually I talked to him about the kiss before hand because the team and the choreographer suggested it because we were trying to narrate the song. There is a lyric in the song, in the bridge where it says, [Singing] ‘Don’t you want to try again, started with a little kiss…’ So the kiss, you know the girl, you tell the guy it’s over, he’s so yesterday and he kisses you and you kinda get lured back in again. So we were trying to narrate the song. That’s where the kiss came from.

Wendy talks about the surprise cameo in Toni’s new video:

Wendy: I didn’t know you knew Brooke Hogan?

Toni B: Yes, I do. Actually I know her dad and said, ‘Oh my god we have to get Brooke in the video.’

Wendy asks a question that has many of Toni’s fans wondering:

Wendy: A lot of your fans are concerned about your health and we want to know, ‘How you doin?’

Toni B: I’m doing good. Much better. I went from 11 different medications to three, my heart is pumping well. I’m doing good. I don’t need a heart transplant. I’m great.

NEW Video: Toni Braxton ft. Trey Songz… Yesterday

This little gentleman was out with his brother and father. Even though his daddy did his mommy wrong, at least he’s still fulfilling his fatherly duties.

Pop the Top

Swizz Beatz had a day out with his sons in NY the other day and posted the pics on Twitter. Even though him and Mashonda are a wrap, it’s nice to see that Swizz is still spending time with his kids.

Diddy had a huge birthday celebration last night at the The Grand Ballroom at The Plaza Hotel in NYC.  A lot of people came out to show love and help Diddy bring in the big 4-0 including Martha Stewart, Kim Kardashian, Tyrese and more.  Pop the top for the flicks.

Bossip spies were in the building and say that the party was amaaaaaazing and jam packed with celebrities. Everyone was there, Bono, Ed Burns and Christie Turlington, Richie-Rich, Spike Lee and his gorgeous wife. Kim Kardashian and Cassie were in attendance too, and everyone looked fantastic. Our spies say Diddy appeared to be really sweet, although, he was being pulled in all different directions.

They couldn’t say the same for Jigga, who acted like a COCKY ______. Our spies say, after seeing his attitude, they can understand why B isn’t ready to have kids with him… Interesting.

The things people do to bring attention to their cakes. This Hollyweird chick decided to put her cakes on display in a non-degrading funny kind of way. Can you guess these backs???

Fellas, ya’ll know we love you! Machomotor mouth and all. But do you know the art of seduction? Do you ever show your lady your “softer side?” Okay so the term “softer side” in no way depicts a sense of mannishness – given the name alone – but it works, guys. While you may be the man who can turn a woman out with your beastly bedroom tricks, it’s not always the route to a woman’s heart. Sure, manhood is often defined as the ability to display strength, endurance and stroke power, however, a man after a woman’s heart knows that he must stimulate her mentally and the physical will follow. Intimacy – the ability to make a woman weak at her knees at the sound of your voice or the feel of your breath on her neck and in her ears – sensuality, in itself, is one of the greatest turn-ons for a woman. Women crave closeness and partnership, so if you’re not serious about building a bond with a special lady, this list will mean nothing to you. Don’t go using these tips to simply get a girl “open,” there is such a thing called love karma. So fellas, ask yourself, are you into the smash down or are you into the building process? Are you leaving an impressive impression or are you simply soiling the sheets? Don’t forget women get bored too and in order to keep her, you have to show her more of yourself than your sexual prowess. Guaranteed, if you do this, your feet on the table and the Monday night football coma, can be easily overlooked if you bring your A-game every once in a while! Take a look at these tips to keep your lady’s interests peaked and always wanting you!

Pay attention - if you hear your girl say, “man, I’ve been craving Chinese.” Instead of a, “so why don’t you go get some,” say nothing, and later surprise her with a dinner date to a great Chinese restaurant. Or show up at her place with some carry-out and a good movie. Or pick up the ingredients from the grocer and print out some recipes and try to prepare Chinese together. This will let her know that you were listening and that you are willing to take the time to show her. Actions are greater than words.

Kissing - kissing is intimate and takes some passion. Nothing warms a woman’s heart like a good, slow kiss. You don’t always have to be in the throws of a love session to extend a nice lip lock, but be debonaire. Inch in closer to her and give her some steady eye contact. Cradle/caress her face, play in her hair and take it slow. Do you see? It’s not just a slob down, you’re sharing each other’s air, in essence.

Tease her - on those nights when you’re laying there in bed, try not to get it in! Try something else instead. Lay there with her her and give her some good strong touch and squeezes. The sense of touch is often overlooked in the bedroom. But don’t be so obvious, of course all the lady parts are fun to touch but make a point to put your hand on or across the parts of her body that turn you on. Tell her you love her legs or whatever it is! And don’t forget the kisses. She’ll eventually try and make the move but resist. Tell her you just want to feel on her … and watch what happens in the middle of the night or in the morning.

Communicate - more often than not, a woman will be the first to send the sexy text explaining what she wants to do to you, where and how, but beat her to it for once. Take it a step further and hit her up with a text first in the morning, tell her you miss her and can’t wait to see her again. Then midday, let the sexting begin. Now you’ve got her consumed with thoughts of you from morning until you finally see her later that night. Simple. Persistence and charm are surefire ways to keep her swooning over you.

Be spontaneous - take her somewhere that she’s never been and do something she’s never done before, for she will forever remember “that time we …” whether it’s a racing zone, a shooting range or a fishing trip – the point is she’s trying something new and different … with you. Or on a rainy day, convince her to take a stroll in the wetness. Sounds corny, but she would be completely obliged to take you up on it because it’s simply something you want to do … with her.

See fellas, it’s not always about the bedroom, lavish dinners or the amount of money you spend. Women are practical and simple too! Good old-fashioned time, attention and intimacy is all a woman could ask for from you … on a consistent basis. You don’t have to bust out the Romeo everyday, but go the extra mile sometimes and you will be the apple of her eye! P.S. this is not to be discontinued once you make things official … keep it up!!

Kandi Burruss of the RHOA had a Grand Opening for her new clothing boutique TAGS in Atlanta last night. Of course, Lisa, Ed and Dwight showed up, but no NeNe or Sheree. Kim Zolciak, Kandi’s new bff, showed up still rocking her engagement ring.

Kim… Fix Your Wig, It’s About to Pop Off!!!

Bossip was in the building for the event and from the looks of it, Kandi seems like she has a good thing going. What was really interesting though was to see Kim and Big Papa at the same event acting real suspect. For a woman who just straight up denied that she is still engaged to this MARRIED man, why are they still hanging together??? Oh, that’s right, we forgot, it’s all for the kids, who were NOT present at the event. Kim, Kim, Kim, Please get it together. You can relax, the camera is off… for now!!!
