While Karrueche was busy posting pics of herself in her undies (and reposting that pic of her bare ass in Breezy’s face from last year) and having cupcakes and birthday cake with friends, her ex Chris brown sent her a cute tweet.  And she responded with love:

Hmmm.  Rihanna was busy in NYC seemingly unbothered by the breakup and Chris’ new tweets to Kae.  And that’s a good thing.

Kae partied it up in Atlanta at Vanquish the other night to kick off her b-day celebrations:

And she hosting her own party tonight in L.A. at Toxic.

Meanwhile, Chris is busy rehearsing away for the 2013 Billboard Music Awards going down Sunday night.  And he posted a few inside flicks to his new website:

NEW GIGS: Pharrell Williams Joins Rihanna’s “Styled To Rock” As A Mentor + Sweet Brown DISHES On Her REALITY Show

 photo PharrellWilliamsCelebsEnjoyNightOutLasXkvR6nfL6zJx.jpg

Fashion trailblazer Pharrell Williams has been added as a mentor to Rihanna’s US competition show "Styled To Rock."  Get the deets inside and see what Sweet Brown revealed about her upcoming reality show…

Executive producer Robyn Rihanna Fenty is bringing her "Styled To Rock" competition series to The STYLE Network, and producer Pharrell Williams has just been named one of the mentors.  The US-based series will follow the same format as Rihanna’s UK show of the same name, where 12 up-and-coming designers are given the opportunity to create unique fashion pieces for A-list celebrity talent.

Salaam Coleman Smith, President, Style Media, spoke of Pharrell’s addition to the cast saying,

“We are delighted to have Pharrell, who is a driving force in both the music industry and fashion world, serve as a mentor on ‘Styled to Rock.” Pharrell’s unique aesthetic and commitment to individuality combined with Rihanna’s vision for this series will enable our aspiring designers to hone their craft and learn from the very people who set the trends.”

The 10-episode series is slated to premiere in 2013.

In other new gigs….

Everybody’s got time for a reality show!  Sweet Brown, who became a viral sensation with the phrase "Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That" talked to TheGrio about her rags to riches life story and how she’s parlaying that into a new reality show.  She describes The Sweet Brown’s, as “a fish out of water, rags to riches series, that’s a combination of The Jeffersons and The Beverly Hillbillies.” She added, “It’s gonna be hilarious. You’re gonna really crack up.”

Also, she wrapped up an appearance in Tyler Perry’s next film, A Madea Christmas and will appear in a new movie alongside Gabrielle Union and Louis Gossett Jr.

And if that weren’t enough on her plate, she has a slew on ventures lined up, including a game application, cookbook, and a BBQ sauce called Oh Lord Jesus it’s a FIRE.

And if you were wondering what she thought about Charles Ramsey, she said,

"One similarity that I see, is that we love people. We gon’ help people. What Charles did was great. Because I have daughters and if my kids was missing that long I would want a good Samaritan to rescue my baby. Don’t leave me in the dark. Let me baby come home. So what Charles Ramsey did… I think it was a good thing; thumbs up, Charles.”

See Sweet Brown dish on her new life in the clip above.  Kudos to everyone.

Chris Brown Readies Aaliyah Collabo, Nabs Performance Spot & Nomination At 2013 BET Awards

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-14at92521PM_zpsd3201328.png

As Chris Brown was on hand at the ICON Ultra Lounge in L.A. today to help announce the 2013 BET Awards nominees, he dropped a little nugget of his own that his frenemy Drake may not love.  Check out what Breezy said about his new sing featuring Aaliyah, and what to expect at the upcoming Awards…

Chris Brown, along with Kendrick Lamar, Tamar Braxton and Charlie Wilson, announced the BET Awards nominees today at a press conference.  To kick off the brand new three-day BET EXPERIENCE AT L.A. LIVE, the celebs were on hand to help BET Networks officially announce this year’s  nominees, honorees, performers and special guests for the BET AWARDS.

Comedian Chris Tucker will host while R.Kelly and the "Fine China" singer have already been announced to perform.  And it all goes down LIVE at the Nokia Theater on June 30th.

But it was Chris’ big Aaliyah announcement that has everybody buzzing.  He’s putting out a collabo, using her vocals, for an upcoming track on his new X album.  And we all know Drake’s obsession with Aaliyah, and his own "Enough Said" collabo using her voice.  So we wonder how he’ll respond about his enemy making music using Aaliyah’s likeness.

Chris said this afternoon:

“I got something special for my fans. It’s called ‘They Don’t Know.  All new stuff that’s never been heard before.”

 photo BKHJyT8CEAAu7zqjpg_large_zps72c33a42.jpg

And he already shot the video saying:

“I shot it in the hood.  I went to the Cedar Block. Bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from. I’m from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke. I remember when I was.”

The above pics were taken and posted on his Twitter timeline on Mother’s Day Sunday.  And they were all taken from a mystery shoot (likely this video) involving elementary school kids and dudes from the hood.

In other news, Drake is leading the pack with 12 BET Award nods, Kendrick Lamar & 2 Chainz grabbed 8 each, A$ AP Rocky is saying thanks for his 4, and Miguel grabbed 4.  Chris’ on again/off again lover Rihanna, as well as Justin Timberlake and Kanye West, all copped 3.

 

TOLD YA! Monica Brown Is PREGNANT, Shows Off Baby Bump!

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-11at93608PM_zpsb47e5a23.png

Back in March, we reported that we were tipped off that Monica was expecting.  And we put her on official Preggers Watch.  Tonight, she finally made the big reveal of her baby bump.

 

Check it inside…

Monica and her husband of two years, Phoenix Suns baller Shannon Brown, are indeed expecting!

Her baby bump required no confirmation with words, she confirmed her pregnancy with a simple pic.  The "Everything To Me" singer posted the above image this evening right before hitting the stage in Chattanooga, TN.  And her baby bump is clearly visible through her blue maxi dress.  

A couple of months ago, we broke the news of her pregnancy, along with images of her shielding a tiny bump.   We reported then that our source tipped us off a month prior–back in February–that she was indeed pregnant.  And based on when our tipster learned of the pregnancy, we’re guessing she’s about 5-6 months along.  But that’s not yet confirmed.

And the news of Mo becoming a mom of three is just in time for Mother’s Day. 

Congrats Monica & Shannon!

 photo redr1_zps598c4e84.png

After Chris Brown‘s vague statement on Twitter about implying ho activity that many believe was against Rihanna, Rih has been dropping subliminals all weekend.

 

Check out her pics and statements inside…

The other day, soon after he confirmed he and Rihanna have gone their separate way, Breezy tweeted:

She’s not mine if she’s everybody else’s

It no longer appears on his timeline, but everybody saw it.  And everybody believes he’s going at Rih Rih.

So last night she posted this message:

 photo b0ef8f0cb93511e2995822000a1f9875_7_zps59b43f79.jpg  

Ha!  That damn Rih Rih.  Then she posted the below and above pics with her girls, tweeted Drake lyrics, and said she needed no new friends.  We ALL know Breezy doesn’t Ef with Drizzy right now.

 photo redr4_zps509f6276.png

Classy.  She also posted a few bac to back tweets where it seems she’s coming at Chris about why she’s not sticking with him:

"The reason y’all hoe niggaz can’t phase me #nonewfriends….

Bad girls want a real niggaaa…. Cuz real niggaz just wanna phuck…

Got a thang for a King, but chu ain’t a King!!!

And then she posted this pic…

2013 MET BALL Afterparty & Leftovers: Pharrell’s Fiancee Takes A Major Nosedive In Her Heels! + The Knowles Girls & Kim, Frank Ocean & Chris Brown

 photo pharrellgirlfriend_zps7c20df1f.jpg

It’s every girl’s worst nightmare.  But at least it didn’t happen on the huge stage that is the 2013 MET Ball red carpet….it just happened on the way to the afterparty.  Check out Pharrell‘s fiancee Helen Lasichanh taking a nosedive in her black pumps after leaving the Met Ball, plus pics of Frank Ocean, Chris Brown & The Knowles Girls having some fun after the gala….

 

Damn homie.  Those tricky cobblestone YC streets will get ya every time.  Pharrell’s boo Helen may have looked fab in her new pixie cut and blue jumper, but those pumps failed her in the sketchy cobblestone streets. 

She was spotted falling over and suffered a major wardrobe malfunction. 

 photo spl538970_003_zpscb3b0fd2.jpg

But it’s OK girl.  It happens to the best of ‘em.

Meanwhile, inside the Met before everyone took off for the afterparty, Kim K. snuck in a pic for her Instagram account with Beyonce & Solange.  And what Solo thinks of that is written all over her face.  Ha!

There were also some crazy pics…with everybody’s phones on deck..with Kanye and Rachel Roy and others.

Spotted arriving to to the MET afterparty:

Chris Brown Confirms He & Rihanna Are “Doing Their Own Thing” & He’s Seeing Other Girls+ Iggy Azalea Drops “Bounce” Video + Justin Timberlake Announces “20/20 Experience PART 2″ Release Date

 photo rihanna-600_zpsc280db9b.jpg

If you’re waiting for sweet messages from Rihanna to Chris Brown on his birthday today, you’ll be waiting a while.  Because Chris just revealed publicly that he and Rih Rih have gone their separate ways.  And he’s seeing other girls.

 

Check out his latest interview, plus Iggy Azelea‘s new "Bounce" video and Justin Timberlake‘s new release date….

Breezy rang in his 24th birthday in Vegas last night.  But it was his new interview, with “The Kyle & Jackie O” radio show, that is catching all the attention.

Apparently, the reason we haven’t seen Breezy & Rihanna together in several weeks is because they’re now doing their own thing.  Yep, the poster couple for breakups to makeups is currently on a downturn.  But no worries, Chris says he’ll always love her.

Chris said on the show,

“The way I look at it is… I’m always going to love that person, but people have differences, and people have different wants and needs.”

“At the end of the day [Rihanna’s] a young girl. I can’t really be focused on wife-ing somebody that young… and I’m young too,” said the birthday boy. “I just got to step forward and be a man and be the best Chris Brown I can be, instead of worrying about whoever else is going to be in my side pocket.”

And by side pocket, do we mean Karrueche?  Your ex who showed up at you b-day party in L.A. the other night?  Maybe, since Chris went on to say he’s got other women on his mind.

“I want to really see as many girls as possible.  I’m going to do [my birthday] solo. At the end of the day, [Rihanna’s] already doing her thing, she’s on the road…”

Well…

Check out the full interview below:

 

Iggy Azelea just dropped her newest video for her track she released for the UK, "Bounce."

 

The Aussie rapper is well on her way to releasing her debut studio album The New Classic. And this video was a nod to her love of fantasy. It was shot in Mumbai with elephants walking down the streets and all for goodness sake. Check it.

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-05at101535PM_zpsdadfd189.png

And Justin Timberlake promised a Part 2 to his already double platinum hit album The 20/20 Experience. Tonight, he hopped on Instagram to show himself recording some tracks in the studio while playing the guitar….and the release date was revealed as September 30th. Get suited up, it’s coming…

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

 photo 95702PCN_Brown05.jpg

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….

Karrueche’s bestie Christina was seen arriving for the festivities.

Christina’s looking hot as always.  Fun times.

 

 

In case you missed it….

Karrueche Tran recently let VIBE VIXEN raid her closet as she shared her love of denim tops, leather shorts and, more specifically, Celine heels.
