The Sun: Jourdan Dunn’s Baby’s Father In Drug Bust

February 27, 2010 //
0

According to the UK’s Sun, Jourdan Dunn’s boyfriend, and father of her two-month-old son, has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison. The 20-year-old, also named Jordan (last name Cummings) was charged with possession of cocaine and intent to supply.

Several online sources say the two Jordan’s have been together for five years. That would mean this has been the boy in her life since she was 15 and not a famous model.

You have to wonder what pressures a 17-year-old boy must feel when his girlfriend is suddenly making hundreds of thousands of dollars for a day’s work. Or, who knows, maybe he was just bad news.

NeNe’s Stripper Past

August 19, 2009 //

“Men can do some really filthy things in the club. I can tell you this much.” – NeNe

ATL’s most popular housewife, NeNe, confirms the rumors about stripper past in her new book.

NeNebook

In the memoir, titled Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, NeNe says that after her first son was born she found herself broke and in danger of eviction and decided to get a job at “the most glamorous upscale gentlemen’s club in Georgia.”

She also says it was her husband Greg who persuaded her to stop dancing. Perhaps they met in the club. That’s the scene I want to read in this memoir.

I don’t really care that NeNe used to be a stripper. I’m just glad she didn’t name her book “Twisted Hearts.”

Jay-Z and Oprah Kick It In Bed-Stuy

Everyone’s favorite auntie, Oprah, was recently given a tour of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, by everyone’s favorite rapper, Jay-Z.

Twitterer F**kKeriHilson posted this pic.

Rumor is, Jay-Z, whose Blueprint 3 drops September 11, will be on an upcoming episode of Oprah and the two were filming a segment. They visited Jay’s grandmother’s stoop as well as the Marcy Projects – where he was raised.

Jay-Z would be quite the unconventional guest for Oprah, who typically only has rappers on to debate critics of rap music. Ludacris was on while promoting Crash, but later said he felt disrespected by Lady O.

I’ve never really taken issue with Oprah’s criticism of Hip-Hop because, I don’t expect most women in their 50s to bump Young Jeezy but, it will be nice to see Jay on the show.

According to RadarOnline.com, Chris Brown will appear on Larry King Live Wednesday to discuss for the first time what went down the night he assaulted Rihanna.

Hmmm…. I don’t know how much discussion about that night I really need or want to hear. But, of course, I’ll be watching.

Radar says Chris will sit down with King shortly after being formally sentenced (community service, probation, counseling).

You Go Back To Her, She’ll Go Back to Black

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil, aka Blake Incarcerated, were granted a divorce today (Thursday) by a London judge.

Amy, who recently popped back up in the UK looking better than she’s looked since becoming a superstar, admitted adultery and did not contest the divorce initiated by Blake. No word on whether or not Blake, who said in divorce papers he found living with Winehouse “intolerable,” admitted to being a complete and total scum bucket.

Musical Evolution or PR Strategy?

July 10, 2009 //

One of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind since Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna – what’s next for the former good boy pop sweetheart?

When Chris Brown and Rihanna first came out as a couple she was the good girl who’d gone bad and he was still just a good boy – or so we thought. She seemed older, mature and even a little fast for him. He was clean-cut singing about romance and puppy love, with the exception of the almost uncomfortable “Take You Down.”

The juxtaposition of their images made what happened on the night before the Grammys even harder to believe.

So, what can Chris Brown do now? Surely he can’t go back to singing “Yo (Excuse Me Miss).” Well, I have to hand it to the kid. He may have figured out the only way to salvage his career – becoming a rapper.

Of course! A good kid singing sweet songs can’t get away with beating up his girlfriend but a rapper can get away with just about anything.

A new song featuring a rapping Chris Brown is all over the hip-hop sites and Chris has expressed his interest in rapping recently. Sounds like that crisis management pr firm he hired might be worth the big bucks he’s paying them.

Lauren Shows Off Her Weezy F. Baby Bump + CB and Amber?

July 6, 2009 //
0

I guess I was the last person on earth still trying not to believe Lauren is preggers by Lil Wayne rumors… but, now there is photographic evidence!

Well, at least evidence that she’s pregnant. She showed off her pregnant belly at Diddy’s White Party, over the weekend. Evidence that it’s Wayne’s won’t come ’till the baby pops out tat-faced sippin kiddie Robitussin à la Tha Carter III cover.

Jokes aside, Lauren looks beautiful. Hopefully some more roles will come once she welcomes the baby.

* In other White Party news, Daily News gossip spies allegedly spotted Chris Brown making out with Amber Rose at the event, which Brown attended with Teyana Taylor. (Side note, they seem to be hangin tough). The News called it “a slap in the face to Kanye.”

I meant to post this days ago but, it’s too good to skip all together.

It looks like Rachel Roy isn’t wasting any time getting back out there.

Rachel Roy and Damon Dash

You may remember Roy slapped her future ex-husband, Damon Dash, with divorce papers in May. Last week, Page Six spotted the designer “getting cozy” with actor Gerard Butler at a comedy show in NYC.

Go Rachel! … And her resort collection is killin it.
