Their boys LeBron, Jr. & Bryce were front and center as well since they’re daddy’s biggest fans.

After thanking his mom Gloria for raising him with everything he ever needed, despite not being financially stable, LeBron gave his fiancee a special thank you too:

"To my wife-to-be, I want to thank you for the sacrifices you make every single day. With me being a professional athlete and not being home every day or as much as you would like, I thank you for your support and what you do for our boys."
 

And he even thanked HER parents for helping their family so much while both Bron & Savannah travel for road games and wedding planning:

"I don’t even think they know I’m about to thank them, but this is for my Future mother and father-in-law. I thank them for the sacrifices they make every single day for our two boys. When I’m traveling on the road and playing games and Savannah’s all over the world having wedding meetings about a table or a chandelier going up, you guys wake up in the morning and take LeBron, Jr. and Bryce to school every single day, pick them up every single day, pick them up from practice and help them with their homework. You guys are a blessing to me more than you guys know. And I appreciate you so much."

Sweet!  Check out Bron’s full acceptance speech below:
 

 

Congrats!  The Heat start Game 1 of Round 2 of the playoffs against the Bulls tomorrow night in Miami.

YBF KIDS: T.I. & Tiny’s Baby Girl Zonnique GETS GORGE AT PROM With Rocko’s Son + Reginae & Dhea Get Cutesy + Justin Combs Starts Spring Football Practice At UCLA

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle‘s daughter & T.I.‘s stepdaughter Zonnique Pullins is all grown up.  Check out her gorgeous prom look that has everybody wondering how old she REALLY is, plus Reginae Carter chillin’ with her dad’s girlfriend (possible fiancee) Dhea and Justin Combs hitting the football field at UCLA….

 

 

She’s 17-years-old and not quite a high school senior, but OMG Girlz member Zonnique "Star" Pullins was asked to prom by rapper Rocko’s son.  And the twosome revealed their gorge pictures last night:

T.I. might want to go get those guns back that the Feds confiscated.  It looks like he’s gonna need them.  The Harrises oldest kid is showing how she’s growing into a gorgeous woman, and we’re surprised TIP let her leave the house without throwing a few coats on her chest to cover her up.  Y’all know how overprotective daddies do.

Before Zonnique and "A1 Uno" zoomed off to Westlake High School prom on a rainy Atlanta night Saturday, the two posed for pics at home.

Loving Niq Niq’s dress–for her–and the makeup is pretty as usual.  We hear they were the highlight of the prom, as to be expected when the kiddies of two rappers make a big entrance together. 

Proud mama Tiny tweeted about how proud she was of her first born, and T.I. called his baby girl absolutely "beautiful."

Check out their Keek video from the car below:

 

 

 

Zonnique’s ex-OMG Girlz groupmate Reginae Carter posted some fun silfies with her dad Lil Wayne‘s "fiancee" Dhea:

She flashed that yellow diamond ring that Weezy still won’t admit is an engagement ring.  Meanwhile, Nae’s mom Toya Wright is chillin in Cabo on vacay with friends.

 

And Diddy‘s son Justin Combs is back on the football field at UCLA for spring practice.  The cutie was redshirted during his Freshman year last season and is there on a full football scholarship:

And he signed some autographs for a few kid fans who came out to watch:

In extra short denim shorts, caged black boots and a leather top, bad gal Rihanna made a nightout of the Nets & the 40/40 Club.  Even though BK lost in a close game 7, everybody had some fun at the afterparty for the Mayweather vs. Guerrero fight.

Rihanna showed off her straight blonde hair in pics with her bestie Melissa.

And over at the game last night, it was a tense time as Rih Rih watched the Knicks lose.  Jay was in London watching his wife at the Mrs. Carter Show.  So Rih held it down courtside with Ty Ty:

THE PRE-PARTY: Chris Brown KICKS OFF Birthday Weekend…With Karrueche Tran & Christina Milian!

While Rihanna‘s on the east coast on her Diamonds World Tour, Chris Brown kicked of his birthday weekend with a few friends AND Karreuche Tran in LA. See pics inside….

photo 95702PCN_Brown04.jpg

Though he doesn’t turn 24-years-old until tomorrow, music’s "bad boy," Chris Brown kicked off his birthday weekend with a slew of friends (including Christina Milian, David Hasslehoff, and Topshop heiress Chloe Green) at LA hotspot Emerson last night.

And if you’re wondering if Rihanna was there…she wasn’t.  RiRi is in New York for her "Diamonds" World Tour, and sources told Hollywood Life that the pair haven’t seen each other for a while…due to work commitments. 

“It’s up and down and sometimes the s**t is even sideways. Every time some s**t pop off between them, they blast that s**t on social media, and they shouldn’t. But when they’re far apart, that’s how they act out toward each other when one of them doesn’t get their way. It’s crazy as f**k, but it’s how they get down.”

 

But Chris wasn’t without female attention at Emerson.  Though they weren’t photographed together, pics show Chris’ former flame Karrueche Tran was there to celebrate with him.  She rocked a cute look of white Giuseppe Zanotti fringed boots and a black mini dress (check the pics here).  As we’ve told you, Karrueche (show above in a pic she tweeted yesterday) has remained very close to Chris since their break-up, especially since they are partners in her clothing line The Kill.  

And outside the club….

Christina’s looking hot as always.  Fun times.

 

 

In case you missed it….

SWEET: Usher CONFIRMED For Role As Sugar Ray Leonard

photo ScreenShot2013-05-04at110226AM.png

Usher is speaking out about his upcoming role as boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.  Find out what he said inside….

 

"The Voice" judge Usher will be starring as boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming film "Hands of Stone".  The film centers on the story of  the great brawler Roberto Duran  who beat Sugar Ray in 1980 to claim the WBC welterweight title (though he lost is a few months later during the rematch).

The pop star spoke to the Huffington Post about his role saying,

"You couldn’t find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard. He was an incredible motion guy, the way he moved around the ring, and I think my dancing will make it easier for me to pick up his moves. I’ve been working on familiarizing myself with the ring, sparring and just understanding how to move in the ring."

In getting ready for the film, which will be shot in Panama, Usher’s going on a strict regime to drop around 12 pounds and gain more tone his muscular frame!

"He had such incredible discipline, and he was flashy and classy at the same time. I want to be as passionate and dedicated in preparing for this role as he was every time he stepped into the ring."

And though this is his first leading role, the superstar says he’s up for the pressure.

"I’m up for the challenge, and I’m looking forward to it. I think my overall feeling is one of anticipation. It seems like this is a real passion project. It’s a film that everybody is so invested in, and I have the good fortune of having the character I’m playing still around."

 

Nice!

Lauryn Hill Breaks Out New Music, “Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)”

Lauryn Hill just released a new track called "Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)”. Check out the newest track from her new deal with SONY inside…

L Boogie, as we all know, has a new deal with SONY Records to release a certain number of songs by a certain deadline, all in return for upwards of a million dollars that will help her pay off her MAJOR tax debt.  The deal saved her from being sentenced to jail immediately for tax evasion.  And now, one song born of the deal has hit iTunes.

Lauryn wrote on her Tumblr today about rushing to get the track out:

Hello All: Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked! – MLH

Check out the powerful message below with the insane flow she’s known for:

Hot 97′s Mister Cee ARRESTED For Soliciting A MALE PROSTITUTE…AGAIN!

Leave a reply

photo MRCEE_zpsd0ef1485.jpg

Some folks never learn.  Hot 97′s legendary (in more ways than one) DJ Mister Cee is back up to his old tricks again.  And by tricks, we mean prostitutes.

 

Deets inside on his latest arrest for soliciting yet another male prostitute….

It’s like April 2011 all over again.  For the second time in 2 years, DJ Mister Cee was arrested for soliciting a male prostitute.

Several reports say that police have confirmed Cee–government name Calvin LeBrun–was cuffed after he allegedly tried to pick up a prostitute on a Brooklyn street corner.

According to the NY Daily News, Calvin had no clue that the gigolo he allegedly approached on the corner of Madison St. & Broadway around midnight Friday…was actually an undercover cop.  FAIL.

Calvin has been officially charged with "patronizing a prostitute" and is still waiting to be arraigned today.

If you’ll recall, back in April 2011, Cee was arrested after he was found engaged in oral sex with a male prostitute in Manhattan.  He plead guilty to that offense, yet stayed oddly mum about the fact the prostitute was male.  He also said the whole arrest was a conspiracy by NYPD.  Alrighty then.

It was also uncovered at that time that Cee was arrested a few times previous to that for other lewd & prostitution acts, unbeknownst to the public.

Quiet as kept, this dude also has a wife, allegedly. 

Sometimes it’s easier to just be who you REALLY are and find you a boo you actually want.  In this case, possibly one of the male persuasion.  Then you wouldn’t have to turn to prostitutes to get your rocks off.

Chiiiiile…..

So it’s only right Nicole keeps up her strength for the upcoming drama.  She was spotted making a gym run yesterday on Canon Drive.

The fiancee of "Live" co-host Michael Strahan has also been going on a Vine craze on her Twitter account. 

Looks like she’s having fun filming and spending time with her man.

UMMMM: Antoine Dodson TAPS OUT Of “Homosexual Lifestyle”, Says He Prayed The Gay Away….And Now Wants A Wife! (Also Responds To Critics!)

Leave a reply

photo AntoineDodsonCelebritiesKatsuyaeVv7tdF2IKpx_zpsabee5eea.jpg

Everyone take a deep sigh before reading.  We thought this was just the trickery of a few hackers, but since Antoine Dodson has not come out to say so, apparently, this dude is serious.

 

Check out why your fave internet foolywang sensation says he’s no longer gay, has found Jesus, and now wants a wife….

It reads like a "Pray The Gay Way" afterschool special, or a cult.  Antoine Dodson wants YOU to know he has renounced the "homosexual lifestyle" and is "no longer in it."  And it’s all thanks to his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

The "Hide Ya Kids, Hide Ya Wife" star took to his Facebook page to spew some interesting words about why he has "reformed" and said he learned that being gay is not in congruence (he didn’t say that word) with the Holy Bible.  So, just like that, he snapped his fingers while pressing out his locks, and is no longer gay.  So he says.

His Facebook post last night reads:

I have to renounce myself, I’m no longer into homosexuality I want a wife and family, I want to multiply and raise and love my family that I create. I could care less about the fame and fortune, I’ve giving all that up to know the true history of the bible. For I am the True Chosen Hebrew Israelite descendant of Judah. And as True Israel I know that there are certain things we just can’t do. And I totally understand that now. I don’t need a Mercedes Benz, I don’t need a big house in Beverly Hills all I need is the Most High and my family (Israel). I have been awaken by the great and so should you. Let’s be delivered from the wickedness of the world and live the way we should. The Most High bless all and have a beautiful evening. Israel wake up and take full power of who you are. I’m ready are you?
 
He continued just a few minutes ago about the critics:

I don’t preach hate, and everything I speak comes directly from the bible, I was raised to follow the bible, so now I actually sat down and devoted time to understand the bible, its a problem? Some one is confused and lying and the truth is not in them. But since all nations are against me, I know I’m on the right path, Shalom and praise to the Most High and Messiah. This is the Rise of the Chosen, I feel it in the spirit. All you demons and devils please get behind me, my peace is spoken.

Oh, but there’s more.

Israel will be hated by all nations, the flamboyant pictures of me are all over a year old, because you talk ish about or try to destroy my character, its not going to work. Like I said, that lifestyle is foolish and I don’t want or have time for it. For my blacks and Hispanics and the rest of the 12 true Israel. We got this because now we have their attention. Also Gentiles who want to accept the Most High and his son, you also can be brought into the fold. Rise of the Chosen.

Oh?  Antoine also said all those "flamboyant" pics of him on the net are a year old and he no longer is that person.  SO he changed his profile pic just minutes ago to this:

photo 936725_515050541886251_690027427_n_zps4eb27167.jpg

Guess this was supposed to make everyone a believer.  But as of now, 360,000 have "Liked" the statement.  Read into that as you please.

We’re proponents of just being you, whether that’s the devil reincarnated (we’ll just carry our Bible and crosses at all times) or Jesus’ bestie.  But let’s keep it 100, Antoine sounds like he’s drumming up publicity for the reality show he’s been working on.  So him saying he’s done with the Hollywood and fame lifestyle is some B.S.

Boy, stop.
