Eva Longoria just got into a low speed car accident ... again ... this time involving her super-expensive Bentley ... TMZ has learned.
Longoria was trying to leave a parking lot in L.A. ... but the mechanical arm wouldn't raise up ... so she tried to back up in an effort to use another exit.
But Eva didn't notice the BMW waiting behind her ... and plowed ass first into the other ride.
We're told Eva got out of the car and checked out the damage -- the Bentley was mostly unscathed but the BMW wasn't so lucky the hood and the front grill are all jacked up.
Eva -- who was very nice -- apologized for the accident and traded information ... before finding an exit that worked ... and going on her way.
Longoria knows the drill by now ... as we previously reported, she got into a minor fender benderlast month while leaving a hair salon in West Hollywood.
QUINT:BTW: I DONT THINK THIS HOE CAN DRIVE, BUT I WISH SHE WOULD RUN INTO ME. ID WORK HER OUTA ALL THEM COINS, WELL ATLEAST HER INSURANCE COMPANY. BUT IF SHE WANTED TO PAY ME UNDER THE TABLE, OKKK NO PROB MS. LONGORIA! $ TALKS & BULLSHIT WALKS
Whitney Houston's daughter was sporting an interesting piece of jewelry on her ring finger during her PDA-filled stroll with her "adopted" brother this week ... a big, fat ring.
As we previously reported, Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon finally went public with their relationship this week ... holding hands and kissing during a lunch date in Atlanta.
Now, with rumors swirling about a possible engagement ... the massive ring on Bobbi's finger isn't doing anything to hint otherwise.
QUINT: NOW IF THESE FOLKS REALLY ENGAGED, THATS GONE BE THE BIGGEST THING, SINCE SLICED BREAD..FEEL ME! BUT @ THE SAME TIME, THAT COULD BE HER MOMS OLD WEDDING RING OR 1 OF THE MANY RINGS THAT WHIT LEFT HER. NEXT THE HOES WILL BE SAYING KRISSI PREGGO! WATCH WHAT I TELL YA!
As we previously reported, Nick and Bobbi go way back ... when Whitney unofficially "adopted" Nick into the family roughly 10 years ago after learning Nick was having problems at home. He's been living with the Houstons ever since
Cissy Houston -- Whitney Houston's mom -- has reacted fiercely to the video we posted Wednesday ... showing Bobbi Kristina and Whitney's "adopted" son Nick Gordon in a romantic grip, and then kissing.
Cissy told a close friend, "What they're doing is incestuous." Cissy feels her granddaughter has problems and Nick is taking advantage of her.
Although Whitney never formally adopted Nick, she considered him her son and Bobbi called him her brother. For his part, Nick called Bobbi his sister.
Cissy is so concerned that Bobbi has become impressionable and therefore an easy target for Nick, she's asking the Whitney Houston Estate to take legal steps to get him evicted from Whitney's home -- where Bobbi Kristina is also living.
QUINT: NOW IDK WTF IS GOING ON WITH BOBBI KRIS & NICK, BUT IN THAT VIDEO I JUST WATCHED (HMMPH, HMMPH, HMMPH). I MEAN I KNW ITS NOT YOUR BLOOD BROTHER, BUT DAMN YALL CALLED EACH OTHER BROTHER/SISTER & WHITNEY CALLED HIM HER SON. WTF THEY DO THAT @ (I GUESS IN THE A), BUT SHID THEY PROLLY BEEN SMASHING. I JST DONT KNOW A BROTHER & SISTER, THAT KISS ALL IN THE MOUTH & HOLDING HANDS (SEXUALLY). SHID NICK AINT CRAZY HE KNW KRISSI GOT ALL THEM COINS. CAN WE SAY HE HIT THE JACKPOT!!!!!! #TRUESTORY
Jennifer Hudson's son might be the coolest kid in Hollywood -- and he's definitely the best judge of comedy because he totally owned our camera guy for attempting some jokes ... bad jokes.
Whitney Houston's daughterBobbi Kristina isn't fazed by her granny's accusations she's committing incest by hooking up with her "adopted" brother -- telling friends, she's gonna do what she wants ... no matter what.
Sources close to BK tell TMZ, the 19-year-old finally 'fessed up to her close buddies ... she and 22-year-old Nick Gordon are dating -- ten years after Whitney unofficially adopted the boy because he was having problems at home.
TMZ broke the story ... Bobbi's grandma Cissy Houston saw the video we posted -- showing Bobbi and Nick holding hands and kissing on a lunch run in Atlanta this week -- and told a close friend, "What [Bobbi and Nick] are doing is incestuous."
But Bobbi couldn't care less -- telling friends ... she doesn't give a damn about what Cissy thinks about her controversial relationship ... and because Nick's not her blood brother, she definitely doesn't consider it incest.
As one source put it -- Bobbi "can't please everyone, so she is going to please herself by doing what she wants to do for once."
As for the maybe engagement ring Bobbi was wearing -- we're told she's been mum on what it means ... but cryptically told friends, she and Nick ARE planning a trip to Vegas in the near future.
What happens on Spring Break usually comes up positive at the free clinic…
It’s about that time! Spring Break is a rite of passage as American as drinking keg beer from a red solo cup. The experience is all about how completely off the chain you can get, how many girls you can hook up with, how many beers you can funnel, how many shots you can rip, and how many fawked up stories you come away with.
The easiest way to do that? Abandon all your standards, forget the rules, and let it all hang out! Don’t forget the cheap beer, hang with some hoes and maintain an “is what it is” state of mind. To help you achieve “next level Spring Breaking”, Coed Magazine has ranked the top 10 American Spring Break destinations by pure recklessness
Say it ain’t so! Word on the street is Lamar and Khloe are having marital discord and it’s all because her fam-a-lam has created too much drama for him at work!
Here’s the details:
Lamar Odom has been under fire lately for his poor performance on the court with the Dallas Mavericks. Lamar was temporarily downgraded to the D-League and issued a public apology to his teammates for missing ten-days playing time in February for a family related absence. Reports have stated Lamar is upset that he was traded and is unhappy living in Dallas and that is effecting his on-court behavior.
A new report from In Touch Weekly (via their print edition) claims Lamar is blaming Khloe–and the Kardashian television dynasty–or his basketball troubles! Also upsetting the NBA star was filming Khloe & Lamar in the midst of the trade, their fertility issues, and a big move. In fact, insiders are insisting things are really bad for the seemingly unbreakable couple. He resents the show for taking his focus off the game,” a source close to Lamar reveals. The source adds that Lamar feels reality television and his association with the Kardashians has ruined his reputation! And Lamar is blaming the show for his trade to Dallas and the all the scrutiny over his personal life for his basketball woes.
As a result of his frustrations, Lamar is isolating Khloe and has even stopped being intimate with her! “He really shut down and told her to leave him alone for awhile,” the friend shares. Lamar is so upset he’s even stopped undergoing fertility treatments with his wife.
“Khloe is trying to stand by him, but it’s hard,” the source shares. “He’s always so angry.” Khloe’s rep denies any of the problems.
Poor Bobby, first he gets nothing from Whitney’s will now his daughter might be cutting him off completely… Via TMZ reports:
Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown can’t stand her name … because of its association with her father Bobby Brown — and now, TMZ has learned, she wants to change it all together.
Bobbi Kristina is telling friends … she’s wanted to change her name for years — ever since her parents split — but Whitney wouldn’t let her.
Now that Whitney’s gone, we’re told the 19-year-old feels untethered — and wants to finally change her name completely … making it simply “Kristina Houston.”
We’re told Bobbi has made the decision with a sober mind and is in a “better place” than she’s been in a while.
It’s unclear when she plans to make the change official
Allen Iverson's bank account has been commandeered by a Georgia judge ... who's garnishing the former NBA star's earnings so A.I. can repay a 6-figure debt to his flashy GA jeweler.
According to court papers obtained by TMZ ... Iverson was sued back in 2010 for allegedly stiffing Aydin & Company Jewelers on a $375,000 bill.
The records show ... A.I. never responded to the lawsuit ... so a default judgement was issued in favor of the jewelry store ... allowing A&C to collect $859,896.46 for the bling, court costs, interest and attorneys fees.
But A.I. still didn't pay ... so earlier this month .. the judge signed off on an order which allows the store to recoup their loss directly from Iverson's Wells Fargo bank account.
QUINT:WHEN I BECOME RICH, IM GOING TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN (CASH). THEREFORE NO ONE CAN COME GET ANYTHING FROM ME, BECAUSE ITS MINE & I PAID FOR IT. RICH FOLKS OR FOLKS WITH MONEY, DONT THINK ABOUT THAT SHIT, WHEN THEY OUT BALLING OUTA CONTROL. WHY GET SHIT ON CREDIT WHEN YOU GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH BREAD, SMH!
Allen Iverson's highly-publicized money troubles might be taking a turn for the better for a change -- because a judge has ruled the former NBA star is still entitled to a $4 million judgment ... if he can get his hands on it.
Iverson won a lawsuit back in 2010 against Martin Sepulveda over a house Iverson purchased in Georgia that had major construction defects ... so much so that Allen and his then-wife were forced to move out.
A.I. scored a $4 million judgment, but later in 2010 ... Sepulveda filed for bankruptcy, putting Iverson's big pay day in jeopardy.
But a federal court judge ruled last month in Iverson's favor, saying the debt could not be discharged and Iverson was still owed the giant chunk of change. Iverson could use the money -- as TMZ first reported, a judge in Georgia ordered Iverson's wages be garnished to pay back a $859,896.46 debt.
QUINT:DAMN A.I. LOOK BAD...............HE DONE FELL THE FUCK OFF OR SOMETHING, BUT OWING THAT MUCH TO THE FOLKS. ID FALL OFF TO, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN (IN MY FLORIDA EVANS VOICE)
Kris is dead azz serious about getting SOMETHING out his short-lived marriage
According to TMZ reports:
Kris Humphries is secretly demanding $7 MILLION from Kim Kardashian to walk away from their marriage … TMZ has learned.
Sources directly connected to Kris tell TMZ … the bballer — through his Minnesota lawyer — has given Kim an ultimatum … either pay up, or endure an ugly, public trial.
Our sources say Kris and his lawyer have been told to pound sand, and with good reason.
For starters, even if there wasn’t a prenup, the marriage lasted a grand total of 72 days, so the community property wouldn’t be in the universe of $7 mil.
Second, there was an iron-clad prenup, which provided that Kim owes Kris zilch.
Third, Kris actually MADE MONEY from the marriage. Sources tell us … Kris raked in around $1 mil from the wedding and the TV special that showcased the nuptials. And Kris made off like a bandit because Kim ended up using a portion of what she got to pay for the ring.
In addition, we’re told Kris made somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000 from the Kardashian reality show.
Kris probably wakes up every morning singing: “Hey! Kim-may! Baby I need my money, don’t you worry, I said hey, baby I need my money!”
QUINT: KRIS HUMP JUST GIVE IT UP, SHID YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER WITH THE MARRIAGE. & YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD TO WORK AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE BUDDY! BUT U ALREADY KNOW KIM NOT GIVING UP SHIT, ESPECIALLY NO COINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Get ‘em girl!
At this point you might have heard the rumors circulating that Tisha Campbell-Martin’s husband, Duane, is the cause for Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s alleged divorce.

QUINT: TISHA SAID SHE AINT GOT NO DAMN TIME. YOU BETTER LEAVE MY BOO (DUANE) OUT YALL SHIT. SHE GOT YALL TOGETHER OR WHAT
Poor Thang! Nick Cannon’s medical crisis is also putting his marriage in jeopardy! That’s because Mariah is threatening to walk if Nick doesn’t give his career a rest so he can focus on getting better:
MARIAH CAREY is begging her ailing husband NICK CANNON to quit working entirely after the hard-charging TV host revealed he’s suffering from a rare form of the autoimmune disease lupus.
The 42-year-old singer is so distraught over Nick’s condition — which has resulted in multiple hospital visits in recent months — that sources claim she’s thinking about threatening to end their marriage and take away their twin toddlers, daughter Monroe and son Moroccan, if he doesn’t at least cut back on his hectic schedule.
Though Nick, 31, agreed in February to quit his NYC morning “CBS Radio” show, he’s refusing to give up other work commitments, including hosting “America’s Got Talent” and his weekly “Cannon’s Countdown” syndicated radio program.
“He thinks Mariah is overreacting and blowing everything out of proportion,” revealed an insider. “Besides that, Nick is insecure about living in Mariah’s shadow, and if he quit work altogether he feels like he’d have no identity of his own.
“He hates being known as Mr. Mariah Carey.”
Nick was first stricken with kidney failure in January and in February he was hospitalized for potentially life-threatening blood clots in his lungs. He revealed that the kidney condition is the result of an “autoimmune disease that [doctors] found in my system.”
In early March, he further described his condition as lupus nephritis, a rare form of lupus that attacks the kidneys.
Dr. Alan Ackermann, founder of the Aventura Institute for Cardiovascular Wellness in Aventura, Fla., told The ENQUIRER that lupus is a “debilitating and devastating illness” that can seriously impact a person’s quality of life. Dr. Ackermann, who has not treated the performer, also explained that lupus is sometimes fatal, and that once the kidneys are affected, the prognosis is “more dire.”
Said the source: “Nick’s work is his passion, but he doesn’t want to lose his wife and his kids — or his life!”
Hate to say it but, if this is true, we understand where Mariah is coming from. People are gonna call Nick Mr. Carey regardless — why not embrace the fact that she wants to take care of him when he needs him most? This divorce talk is extreme but this couple has already been through a lot and Nick shouldn’t let his pride get in the way of him taking his illness seriously so he can be around for his family. Still, we’re pretty sure the divorce talk is premature.
QUINT: OK NICK, DO YOU WANNA BE MARRIED TO MARIAH OR WORK....YOUR CHOICE BRUH
The MOTHERFUCKN SHIT, AND THIS IS #TRUETEA done hit the fan!
This morning we reported that Mike Epps’ daughter Bria called the police to report that he was threatening her. This afternoon Bria released the audio of the angry phone call that she had with her comedian father, and it is UGLY!

IF MY DAD WAS RICH, HE BETS TO GIVE ME EVERYTHING I ASK FOR. BRIA SAID SHE WANTED HER COLLEGE TUITION (UP FRONT), BABY WHO PAYS FOR COLLGE UP FRONT, ALL 4YRS. (SHID I GUESS RICH FOLKS DO). SHE ALSO WANTS A 2013 RANGE ROVER>>>>>HMMPH DONT WE ALL!!
While most of us have already seen, passed judgement on, and moved past, Nicki Minaj’s head-scratching Grammy performance, Philadelphia chanteuse Jill Scott just got a chance to see it for herself. Upon watching the clip, Jill took to Twitter to express her thoughts on the Catholic-themed show.
Like most of us, Jilly from Philly wasn’t really diggin’ it, and the Nicki Barbz came out of their dollhouses in droves to e-ssassinate her over Twitter. Although they were totally out of pocket in the way they addressed the three-time winner, she handled the misguided Minaj minions with class and dignity.
QUINT: IJS, THE BARBS CANT GET MAD @ WHAT JILL THINKS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE. IN ALL ACTUALITY, THE SHOW WAS KINDA DISRESPECTFUL...NICKI MAYBE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. BUT I HEARD NICKI'S FANS WENT HAM & CHEESE ON JILL. #TRUESTORY
Whitney Houston and Ray-J reunite for dinner at the Sunset Plaza. The two were all smiles as they left their meal and headed to Ray-J's Rolls Royce and made their getaway.
Aside from the toll that Whitney Houston's death had on her close family, the passing of the songstress also took a toll on close friends and former lover Ray-J.
Nearly a month after Whitney's passing and his emotional breakdown at Whitney's funeral, Ray is finally breaking his silence on Whitney's passing. VIDEO: Heart Wrenching Sadness! Ray-J Breaks Down At Whitney's Funeral
Sources caught up with 31-year-old Ray-J during the Brotherhood Crusade/Mothers in Action press conference Friday where he admitted he's "still hurting" while trying to cope with Whitney's Death.
"It's just such a tough time for me. I've been through a lot in these past few weeks," the singer and VH1 reality star said. "I'm able to look at life in a whole different way. I always look at my phone because I got a picture of somebody I really love and it helps me through the day."
According to US Magazine, Ray was on hand helping out at the charitable event and donated school supplies including Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones, clothes, backpacks and notebooks.
"I'm here to spend time with them, laugh with them and make sure they have everything the need to move on in a positive way with their education in life," he explained.
"I'm really emotional right now and I really don't know what to say," Ray J told reporters. "But I will say I love and hurt. I enjoy being around people that support me and give me a sense of peace. That's what these kids mean to me and what the Brotherhood Crusade does for me."
"The most important thing of all is that God is talking to me. God is talking to me right now, and now is the time to listen," he concluded. "My ears are open."
It is admirable of Ray-J to look past his own hurt to help others in need. We hope he finds the solace he needs to deal with Whitney's lost.
SOURCE: US Magazine QQuint: I would just like to say, through whatever her & Ray was doing, its their business. But 1thing i must say is that Whitney Houston was BEAT OUT OF HER FUCKIN MIND, @48 SHE WAS STILL TURNING IT! OH #ILIVE!!!
Whitney Houston was buried next to her father, John Russel Houston, Jr. at the Fairview Cemetary in Westfield, NJ on Sunday, February 19th. Her grave is now covered with flowers and balloons.
After watching Whitney Houston's funeral, it was easy to see the important role religion played in her life, and that it will continue to play in her family's life. DETAILS: Cissy Houston Declares To Turn Bobbi Kristina's Life Around
The program that was given out during Whitney's funeral was filled with pictures and memories, but one page in particular, written by her mother, Cissy Houston, stood out against the rest.
Cissy wrote about an incident that took place the day Whitney passed in which she was visited by her daughter's spirit.
Read the entire story below...
Lindsay Lohan, James Franco, Mayor Giuliani, the iguana porn goddess, Blake Lively, Michelle Williams, Katharine McPhee and every other trick who tried to impersonate Marilyn Monroe just got their blonde wigs snatched from their heads by the glamzilla from Staten Island Big Ang. The most beautiful (wo)man on Mob Wives tucked it, sucked it and puckered it as Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Next Magazine. Marilyn Monroe has finally stopped turning in her grave and has blown an air kiss at Big Ang for finally capturing her subtle sexiness and beauty.

Remember Maia Campbell who played Tiffany on the late 90s sitcom “In the
House”?
You might remember seeing a
video of her that surfaced in 2009 that didn’t paint her in the best of
light. She appeared to be intoxicated and drugged up while sitting in a Monte
Carlo, yelling obscenities at the men filming her. The video prompted a
‘Pray4Maya’ trending topic on Twitter, and shortly afterward there were rumors
that she had checked into rehab. However, another video of Maia exhibiting
“Felicia-like” tendencies surfaced a year later, followed by a mug shot, and it
looked as though she had fallen onto pretty hard times.
Now, years later, Maia is speaking about what she was and still is struggling
with. She was hurt by the videos that surfaced online, but she said the
attention helped her turn her life around. Now she’s clean, sober and working on
a comeback. Some of her goals include a reality show, working on her music
career, pushing her mom Bebe Moore Campbell’s novel ’72 Hour Hold’ to movie
producers and searching for positive acting roles.
Check out excerpts from her interview on a BlogTalk Radio show below:
What’s going on in her life. I’ve been sober for two
years, and a lot of people can’t say that. I’m timid, shy and broken a little
bit by some of the responses [online], but then again so much support from the
people saying “No! She’s none of that.” Real friends stepping up … And just
showing me who the real people were in my life. It helped me find myself and
find out that there’s a real true artist inside of me–that no matter what
obstacles may come, he’s not going to let you fall, and he’s not going to let
you down.
I started ministering to myself and looking at my heart … Finding my voice …
And it just made me stronger. If it doesn’t kill you, it will make you stronger.
Like Drake says, “It’s far from over…” I listened to the music that people were
making, and it kept inspiring me. I started making music, and I just stepped out
on a limb. My mom died … So much has happened. I miss people in my life. I miss
LL [Cool J]. Debbie Allen came back to the community … And for once so many
miracles. I swear so many miracles! On the state of her career and the youtube videos that
surfaced: I went on to do movies, and nobody talked about it, and
that hurt me. I did a movie called ‘Rim Shop’ after Katrina had happened in New
Orleans. We went down there, and that place looked a mess, seriously. We shot a
film out there just to help those people, to bring revenue in and just show our
support to their situation. Then, I did a gospel kind of Tyler Perry play called
‘Friends and Lovers’.
I’m trying to reach out to Tyler Perry about one of the mom’s latest novels.
She was nominated for a Noble Peace Prize for literature. [It's called 72-Hour
Hold] it was a story about her and my relationship, and I wish that Halle Berry
would pick it up and read it if you’re listening. I would love for her to play
the lead character.
There are so many goals and dreams that God has put in my heart while I’m
sitting here sober. And I’m not doing the things I use to do. The way they
attacked me on the Internet–it was BS. These guys said they were going to shoot
a video for my music. I was trying to work independently–and I’m not saying that
I was clear headed to believe them, but I was not doing what the heck they said
I was doing. They blasted me with the words they put on the screen and just made
everybody look at me another way. And I’m like, “That’s really messed up if
anybody believes that!” But a lot of people didn’t. And they knew that and came
to my rescue and said, “Let’s just get you all the way right.” On her future I went to Spelman, but a lot of HBCUs named
a month after my mom for mental health month because she supported the mental
health … Her book was about a girl with a bi-polar mental health issues and her
relationship with her mom. It was kind of a bougie little girl that was prive to
every freakin’ thing, raised up in The Hills and just had it like that. Nobody
took the time to deal with her psychologically. And that’s what ’72-Hour Hold’
is about. That’s the next project that I want to basically get out to producers
and Tyler Perry to see if anybody is interested in pushing it.
I want to attach myself to anything-–reality shows, movies–but positive
characters. I don’t want to play the crazy girl like, ”Craig, Craig let me
borrow your VCR!” It’s too much of that in life, and we got kids out there … I
wish they would take that type of stuff off the Internet because the kids have
to go to school and deal with reality of that, and it makes it hard for them to
learn. On her background and family I went to school in LA. I
was born in D.C. I have a little girl–She has a video out right now. She just
turned 11. She just did an India Arie video. It’s on YouTube, check it out it’s
called “Heaven.” It’s real emotional and really sweet. She’s acting in it, and
it’s a real touchy video. Somebody I went to school with at Spelman directed and
put it together. We actually had her and one of my former acting friends Kareem
Barnes–from a TV show called “South Central”–he played the father. It was kind
of an interesting piece about being bi-racial. On the book she’s working on called ‘Sagittarius’ I’m
terrified. We just got to the process where we’re ready to release. Most of it
is a sweet little memoir about … My mother has put out about 10 books, so I
should be a veteran because I’ve watched my mom put out book after book with no
problem. There’s just something about this industry, and I don’t want to make
more enemies than friends. I know there’s a code, and you need to keep most of
these things … You just don’t … I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t know if
I’m ready to put this book out.
I know my life is an open book. I know people know everything or think they
know things about me and already made assumptions behind what they’ve heard and
what not.
I have a portion of it that definitely inspires. It definitely comes of age
and it focuses on inspiration. It focuses on the learning, it focuses on the
story telling and it focuses on that I’m a product of my behavior. I’m a child
of God and a product of my intelligence and life. And my life is not just
rolling along doing what people tell me to do. I make intelligent choices, and
[contrary] to popular belief, this is a statement of God’s hand in my life. So
in theory that’s what any author hopes to say to his audience. I just hope
somebody gets that. I don’t want people to pinpoint one page and say, “Oh, no
she didn’t.” Then it becomes someone feeding into something–like the YouTube
thing. That wasn’t even what it was supposed to be. That was a trip that went
all wrong, and I spent all this time trying to recover. That’s another thing …
You have to be careful with what we choose to say to the public. On working on ‘In the House’ with LL Cool J and Debbie
Allen It was a growing experience. It was a very nurturing growing
experience. It was almost like being one of the Cosby kids. For me it was like
–-there were moments, for example, when Debbie Allen used to take me under her
wing. Her and Norm Nixon used to take me to the theater in their Rolls Royce or
their Bentley, and we would eat at Mr. Chow’s. It was fabulous. She taught me so
many things about networking. I learned from a queen about networking. She would
take me out with all her investors who would be old farts. It was great and she
taught me a lot. She took me to the ballet.
Then, Todd [LL Cool J] of course we would be on a ship going to Mexico
overlooking the ocean and he would say some of the most prolific things while
they were setting up the lighting and cameras on us.
A lot of things that they said I will never forget. These are the people that
shaped my life and young mind as an actress. I can’t reach out and touch them
anymore, but in my mind I can sometimes go to places where it comforts me to
know that I was once in the same room with these people. I know they live lives
that people dreamed of. They reached their dreams, and that’s a good thing for
some people–and to do it it safely and not have any drawbacks … I saw him [LL
Cool J] on the Hip Hop Awards, and he still has the same mind in tact. One thing
my grandmother says, “To reach the top and still have your mind in
tact…”
How exciting! Maia also revealed that she is careful about the company she
keeps. She has surrounded herself with people who can help her navigate the
Hollywood scene and keep her well protected from those who don’t have her best
intentions at heart.
Listen below:
On Friday, 50 cent made a special guest
appearance on ABC’s ‘The View’ to discuss his new anti-bullying book,
“Playground”. While there, he dished on why he named his dog ‘Oprah’ as well as
dished on his feelings about love and whether he’s ever accidentally told
someone ‘I Love you
On whether
he’s ever accidentally told someone ‘I Love You’
Probably the first time, every time. I
think that when a man says ‘I love you’ the first time, he means ‘This really
feels good’. It’s like “This friendship is good”. Take it like something really
interesting is happening and I am confused. After [a man] says it a few times to
you and he says it to himself, then he believes it. It’s such a big commitment.
It does mean something.
On
naming his dog ‘Oprah’ It started out negative
’cause I thought Oprah didn’t like Hip-Hop culture. I got the dog and now I love Oprah. i
started to feel like I didn’t like her and I hadn’t met her.
Quint: I think the antibullying book is great, we need a book like that out. Because bullying is still alive, even in college you have bullies. I know that sounds weird, but its true! On the fact that he named his dog (Oprah), ah idk! If she liked hip hop or not, it wouldnt phase me, but I would never in a million years name my dog Oprah! But to each their own! #TRUESTORY

TMZ has learned rapper Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas today ... and is currently behind bars at the same jail as his kid.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Coolio was a passenger in a Nissan Versa which was pulled over for a routine traffic violation early Friday morning.
We're told the cops ran Coolio's name in the system and noticed he had 2 active bench warrants out for his arrest stemming from multiple traffic violations.
Coolio was arrested and hauled to Clark County Detention Center -- the same place where his son Grtis is rotting away for allegedly robbing some dude at gunpoint a few months ago.
Coolio's bail has been set at $5,850. A court date has not yet been set.
4:32 PM PT: Coolio has since posted bail and been released.
QUINT: DAMN HE IN THE SAME JAIL AS HIS SON, SMH! OK COOLIO HE HAD A COUPLE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. THATS NOT BAD AT ALL, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE GAVE HIM A DAMN TICKET FOR DRIVING A FUCKIN "NISSAN VERSA"...................DAMN HE FELL OFF, IM TO WEAK @ MYSELF BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Biggie Smalls was shot and killed 15 years ago today ... but the rapper's female protege Lil' Kim tells TMZ ... she's still in mourning ... explaining, "It still hurts very much."
Kim -- who was famously close with Biggie -- tells us she'll be honoring his memory at a private dinner in NY with close friends and family members ... saying, "I will never forget him and I will think about him every day until I die."
She adds, "I will celebrate him every single day of my life ... I have endless love for him and I'll be grateful and thankful to him until my last day."

Coolio's oldest son -- who appeared on the family reality show "Coolio's Rules" --is locked up in a Nevada jail ... after allegedly teaming up with a Vegas hooker to rob some dude at gunpoint.
TMZ has learned ... 22-year-old Grtis Ivey (who went by "Artis" on the reality show) ... was arrested on November 14, 2011 for allegedly busting into a Vegas apartment with a gun and forcing the tenant into the bathroom ... while he and a female prostitute named Shantrice Wilkerson ransacked the place.
But the back story is INSANE.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ ... Shantrice was trollin' at LAX nightclub at the Luxor on October 26 ... and met a guy named Joseph Hall ... who didn't know she was a call girl.
The two hit it off ... and Wilkerson told him that she had a "dream" of having sex on a pile of money.
Hall asked if $5,000 was OK ... she agreed ... and the two eventually went back to Hall's apartment to grab the cash out of a safe.
According to the report, the two bounced to Wilkerson's pad to do the deed ... but before it went down, Wilkerson asked for money ... and Hall flipped out and left.
But cops say, Wilkerson REMEMBERED where Hall lived ... and brought Grtis to the place 3 days later so they could rob it.
According to the report ... Grtis entered the pad with a gun ... and ordered Hall's rooommate into the bathroom while he and the hooker stole a safe, 2 iPads, 2 laptops, passports, and anything else that wasn't nailed down.
Cops say the roommate was able to identify Coolio's son and the hooker -- and both were arrested on a slew of charges including robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny.
Both Grtis and Wilkerson told cops they never brought a gun to the apartment ... and Wilkerson admitted to stealing some of the stuff.
Grtis is being held without bail ... and is due to face a judge on Monday.

TMZ has learned ... Rihanna has reached out to the Invisible Children organization and has expressed an interest in creating a video to help raise awareness about an evil S.O.B. named Joseph Kony.
Kony is quickly becoming a household name ... thanks to a viral YouTube video that exposes the Ugandan warlord as the bloodthirsty leader of a child army and child prostitution ring.
In the YouTube video, producers beg for celebrity support to raise awareness and showed a picture of Rihanna, in an effort to get her involved.
TMZ has learned ... Rihanna saw the video and was so moved by the story ... that she called the organization this week and set up a meeting, hoping to create another video to keep the momentum alive.
Quint:This so so so sad, that a man would do this to little children, especially a black man, Than he captures the lil kids, to make them be warriors. If I was a national celebrity, & not a local 1 (like Iam), I would make a video to let folks know. But his ass need to be captured & cut off all his fingers, his ugly yellow teeth ass. That shit make me wanna slap this damn computer, he's a disgrace to Africa. On that same note, we all know its some ass folks out here....just pray for their sanity, but he needs a lil more than prayer. #TRUESTORY
Michael Vick is finally speaking out about his troubled younger brother Marcus Vick ... telling TMZ he hopes the former college football star "will learn" from his current stint behind bars.
As we previously reported, Marcus Vick is serving 10 days in a Newport News, Virginia jail for failing to appear at 2 court dates stemming from a driving on a suspended license charge.
Now, Michael tells TMZ, "Marcus is now taking responsibility for his actions. I hope he will learn from this and move forward in the right direction.”
Marcus is set to complete his sentence in a few days ... but officials say he will be immediately transferred from Newport News to Montgomery County, where he's a wanted man for failing to appear in a civil case.
Quint: I mean I personally wouldnt miss any court dates, unless I know that I havent been doing the shit. Shid you already know the judge gone throw the book @ ya. He just had too many strikes against him (1.he Michael Vick's brother, 2. he's black, 3. he's a man). I woulda been running to the courthouse, but to each their own. I hope he got out, well he is getting out, but going right into another jail, smh.

Snooki is a changed woman. The mommy-to-be is already planning some huge lifestyle change
Yesterday, Snooks kept a low key profile as she ran errands around Jersey City, but she wasn't so laid back when it came to talking about her baby!
“No more peeing on porches. Those days are over,” the pint size pregnant reality star revealed.
She's already dreaming about how her pregnancy will go, and in case you're wondering, drugs will play a factor.
“I had a dream I was in labor and my mom induced me with a shot in my shoulder,” she said. “My old principal was my doctor. You know when you hold in a fart and it hurts? In my dream they were contractions.”
As for the real thing, Snooki has it all planned out.
“I’m not scared,” Polizzi said. “I’m getting an epidural. Natural birth? Eff that!”
Snooki even had jokes about the baby's look, saying it resembled an alien when she saw the sonogram picture.
Snooks is currently in Jersey City with BFF J-Woww filming her new Jersey Shore spinoff reality show. We're guessing her pregnancy and relationship with fiance Jionni LaValle will be addressed. Yet another reason we can't wait to see it!
