“I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady. To sing ‘At Last’ while they have their first dance is a dream come true,” the Grammy-award winner revealed on Friday. “I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history.”

In addition the girls will not appear in any upcoming seasons of Making The Band. Oh well, DK won’t be the same without D. Woods and Aubrey anyway.

Tyler Perry’s Promo Pics For ‘Madea Goes To Jail’..!!

Enough said. Tyler Perry is funny his Film will hit all the theaters on Feb 20th. So he decided to drop some promo pics for his fans. I thought they were too damn funny.

NOTORIOUS BULL-SH***T LIL KIM SPEAKS ABOUT THE MOVIE!!

The Lil Troll wasn't invited to be more involved in the making of the film. Although she hasn't seen the movie yet, Kim claims the accuracy of the script is off. The rappers said a writer involved in "Notorious" — who was not identified in the article — contacted her and, during the conversation, she said she discovered mistakes in the story.

Kim went on to say that Faith and Biggie's mother were responsible for the way she was portrayed in the movie by Naturi Naughton. But on Thursday, Evans told MTV News she wasn't responsible for the script. The screenplay, in fact, was adapted from the book "Unbelievable: The Life, Death, and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.," by writer Cheo Hodari Coker. Lil Kim also said she is going to give the real story soon and plan on putting Biggies Mom and Faith Evans on blast. Read more (Click Now)

HOUSE OF GLITZ: I have not seen the movie yet but because they depicted her as the jump off who was an attention starved, sex maniac who basically slept her way to success. Sounds true too me so what's the problem?

ATL Housewives Deshawn "FIRED" from the show "Not Ghetto Enough"..!!

The fact that she was really Married not a "Jump off", real money, no foreclosure sign or is it the fact that her clothes were purchased and not rented, was not looking for a 7 figure settlement e.t.c.? All might have played a role in getting her let go from the new season of the show. I guess Bravo chooses to keep to the script of making sure the Housewives of ATL keep there edge which is nothing but Fake-ass-Drama. When it comes to women of color it appears the networks want "Trash not Class". De shawn decides to speak of the hurt and pain that was caused when she got the call from Bravo. Some say that DeShawn Snow was the quiet in the storm of drama that rained on Bravo’s dramality series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In reality television, playing it safe doesn’t lure viewers or make the grade; when it comes to ratings, only diva antics, tension, 3lbs of weave and catfights will do. As the remaining ladies—Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Jump-off/Gold digger, Kim Kolciak—gear up for the second installment, Snow learned on Monday that she would not be returning to the cast.

ESSENCE.COM: We hear that you are no longer returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Is that true?

Yes, one of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn’t take my option.

ESSENCE.COM: What reason did they give for not inviting you back for the second season?

One of the producers] called and said that I was “too human for a circus show” and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in. He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I’m not the type to go “television” and start acting crazy because somebody’s talking about me. I’m fine with the decision. It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity

Rumor has it that Usher's wifey "Man-eka" was going to replace De Shawn. Man-eka quickly dismissed this rumor, although she said she was approached and stated she was "flattered" she will not be coming on too the show. (I mean she does have 10kids to take care of right?). Word on the street Frank Ski radio personality of V-103 wife Tanya Ski might take the last slot. Didn't know his wife was rolling in Ghetto but you never know. Bravo is being very hush, hush about the new addition's too the cast.

Look at Obama all dressed up in "WAX"!!!

Kim hints at 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' proposal..!!

Jump off, Kim Kardashian appeared to say there was a possibility her injured boyfriend, NFL star Reggie Bush, could propose to her on her E! network show.

E! Online reported Friday that when asked about the possibility that Bush may propose during an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," KIm did little to dispel such rumors.

"It's supposed to be a surprise, right?" Kardashian said.

The 28-year-old Kardashian did say her New Orleans Saints boyfriend would be making more than casual appearances during the forthcoming third season of the reality series. I bet he will be since he has been riding the bench this season.

"Reggie is an extremely private person," "He hates being famous. He hates the paparazzi. He hates the whole scene of it all. But you will see him more this season. He's gotten a little more comfortable."

To bad we can't say the same about her with legs wide open and no shame Sex Tape under her belt with ex-Ray J. And a Playboy spread everybody has seen all her business. Kim is six years older then her Boo Reggie.

"Keeping Up" follows Kardashian, her two sisters, one brother, mother and step-father through their daily lives. Sister Khloe the big one is dating another" fine brother" Minnesota Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants. All the rich, (I mean) good brothers are taken huh? The new season of Keeping up with the Kardashian starts in March check your local station listings for times.

VH1 “For The Love Of Ray J” Contestants Revealed.!!

Brandy’s little brother has replaced Flavor Flav, VH1’s resident buffoon, and assumed the position of the network’s new diseased dick supplier on the lookout for love. Spies have noted that this is just a publicity stunt($$), since the "Sexy Can I" career has hit a sour one note, and we agree. 14 Strippers, we mean women will fight for Ray J's "Pretend Love" (Yawn Z z z!!). We are all aware that Ray J has no problems with the ladies. Anyway as VH1 continues to supply us with African American shows that have much to do about nothing, I'm sure some people will still be checking for this "train wreck".

Take a peek at the 14 ladies that will compete for the “Sexy Can I” star when For The Love of Ray J premieres Feb. 2 at 10:30/9:30.

HOUSE OF GLITZ: IT'S AIIIGHT!!

T.I. VS TIP...One of them is going to Prison...“T.I’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” Premiere

Time to pay the piper. Now that T.I.’s fake community service is over his new MTV reality show will be premiering next month. Mr. Bankhead hopes the series will scare teens away from a life of crime.

TIP was convicted of felony gun charges in 2008 and will begin serving a sentence of one year and one day behind bars on March 27.

T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go, which started filming in June and will continue until March, will debut on MTV February 10. Bye, bye T.I. you did the crime so now you have to do the time. That's great let's scare the teens but more importantly take a look at your 5 kids. Make sure you start there with the examples, so they don't go down this road to redemption. Remember when Lil Kim got locked up BET did the "Countdown to lock down". I know they are trying to spin this into a positive but why not get it together before we get too this moment. WE GOT TO DO BETTER!!! "I'm Just saying"!!

Going Once, Going Twice, Not so fast!!!...Fantasia Saves her home!!

Fantasia and her legal team have figured out the new way in a bad economy -- cut a desperate deal. The "Idol" winner was about to lose her $1.1 mil pad in North Carolina because of $$$ probs -- she owed $58,000 to Broward Energy Partners and the company had put the house on the auction block. She had borrowed the cash from the company to pay taxes. At the last minute, the woman who is now most famous for being a no-show at the courthouse has now struck a deal with the company and her home is safe -- for now. So we will officially take her off "Foreclosure Alert". Our suggestion is that you go back to work girl, it usually takes money too to live in million dollar house and just hosting a party at a club and walking down a red carpet does not pay the bills.

“The first trimester I spent in Botswana,” said the star, “That was one of the biggest challenges of my life. First trimester! You’re sick every morning.
