ROUND 2: RIHANNA, CHRIS BROWN & DRAKE ARE ALL ATTENDING THE MTV VMA'S

Let the "Hunger Games" begin...This should be in interesting night, but hopefully these young fools will keep it professional or not depending on who needs the publicity.  Not to mention these soft R & B singers will have there overly paid security take all the blows for them. 


We have been keeping you updated on the Chris Brown Drake scuffle that occurred recently in the club. Since the incident we havent heard much more about it but now its awards season and the V.M.A.’s are taking place in Los Angeles on Sept. 6.

 Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Drake are all expected to attend as reported by EUR Web…… And imagine this: both the guys are up for “Best Male Video.” Is it going to be another battle royale.

Aren’t you just at the edge of your seat wondering what the VMA awards are going to be like this year, especially after all the drama that’s gone down between Drake and Chris Brown over sex kitten Rihanna?

One source tells US Magazine that drama is the desire of the night.
“They are hoping a fight breaks out,” the source says. “Ratings galore!”

Bottle poppin...or Bottle throwing it remains to be seen, but because America loves a train wreck we will all be watching.

REGINA KING MAKES HER DIRECTING DEBUT ON BET

Regina King has a new gig and its "boss lady"...King is set to spread her wings as director and producer of a telepic for BET based on the novel "Let the Church Say Amen."'

Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit banner is producing the pic with BET and Royal Ties, the shingle King runs with her sister, Reina King. Reina King is exec producing; Regina King, Queen Latifah and Flavor Unit's Shakim Compere and Shelby Stone produce along with Roger Bobb.

Actress-scribe Crystal Garrett adapted the 2004 book by ReShonda Tate Billingsley, which revolves around the wayward daughter of a charismatic Houston pastor whose family falls apart over the years while he's busy building up his church.

King, a TV vet who is a regular on TNT's "Southland," and her sister have been shepherding the property for more than three years. It was initially put together as an indie feature before landing at BET earlier this year.

"It's such a universal story that is very specific to fathers who dedicate their time to doing great things as citizens of the world, but for all the good that they do, their family almost always has to sacrifice," King told Variety.

Project is in the midst of casting, and lensing is expected to begin next month in Atlanta.

King, repped by ICM and manager John Carrabino, helmed a 2010 musicvid for R&B crooner Jaheim, but "Say Amen" marks her first feature-length directing gig. The long road to getting it before the camera was frustrating at times, but in hindsight, she's glad it's happening now with BET.

"I thought I was ready to direct it three years ago but what I've learned through the people who have come into my life and influenced the project -- I'm definitely more ready to direct it now," she said.

Although we commend him for pretending he's a good dad, we feel it's way too soon to be playing on twitter.

Shouldn't he be in rehab somewhere or at the very least looking for a job?  Either way Chad is going to fake it all the way to the bankruptcy court.  Jump Offs stand up, he's ready to play again.

BAD GIRL CLUB SEASON 10 FILMING IN ATLANTA

The most pointless show in reality show history has made a stop in the ATL, as if we need another ratchet show in my town. With Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Real Housewives of Atlanta, R & B Divas and some of those shows we can stomach but not this one. 

So if you are in the "A" and If you see a bunch of ladies acting poorly in front of cameras, perhaps screaming or throwing down, it may not be “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Instead, it may very well be Oxygen’s “Bad Girls Club,” which is being shot in Buckhead through October 5, according to the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office. The office heard Atlanta possesses a huge viewing audience for this show. (Oxygen itself hasn’t made any official announcement yet but a spokeswoman acknowledged that this is indeed true.)

“Bad Girls Club,” which we don't watch, takes seven rebellious women and attempt to “tame” them into more civilized folk. Atlanta is the tenth season.  Sounds like High school?

The show has been taped in past years in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Las Vegas and in the current season airing now, Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. Ratings this past Monday were solid for Oxygen: 1.5 million viewers (though that isn’t nearly as many as E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” or VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.”)

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATL NE NE LEAKES IS A GRANDMOTHER

I'm rich...very rich Ne Ne Leakes has a precious bundle of joy to spend all her reality money on these days. Did you ever think of NeNe as a grandma this soon? Well apparently she didn’t either until she was surprised by her sons 21 year old girlfriend who was already six months pregnant.

Proud grandmother NeNe Leakes exclusively reveals her 2-month-old granddaughter Bri’asia (who she’s kept under wraps until now) in an interview with InTouch  Weekly!
NeNe tells the new issue of In Touch — on newsstands now — about her shock when she discovered that her 22-year-old son, Bryson, was secretly expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Ashley Hill, 21.

“I only found out about everything because I ran into Ashley when she was more than six months along,” the Real Housewives of Atlanta star tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. “I said, ‘You look pregnant.’ And she said, ‘Hasn’t Bryson told you?’ But he hadn’t because he knew that I wouldn’t approve of him having a child so young.”

“I didn’t feel like he was ready for such a big responsibility,” she says. “I was his age when I had him, so I know how tough it is. I didn’t want him to make the same mistakes that I did. I needed to let it sink in.”

 However, once little Bri’asia Bryant was born in mid-June, no-nonsense NeNe melted.

“I always wanted to have a girl,” she says, “and now I have one! She’s just adorable.”

“I paid for everything in the nursery: the clothing, the diapers. I don’t want her to feel strapped,” she says — she’s gone completely “crazy” buying gifts for the baby, including “little dresses, sparkly headbands, and Gucci shoes … We just love her,” NeNe gushes to In Touch.

And while at first she was reserved about being called “Grandma,” the 44-year-old outspoken star now embraces the name! “Forty is the new 30. I’m a sassy, fashion-forward grandma!”

VIDEO: MARIAH CAREY FT. MEEK MILL & RICK ROSS – ‘TRIUMPHANT (GET ‘EM)’

Mariah looks great,  for the uplifting record, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, was inspired by Nick’s health scare earlier this year. “I wrote ‘Triumphant’ when I was going through a difficult time and it helped me get through it,” said Mimi.

Mariah’s new album won’t arrive until next year when she takes her spot on the judges’ panel on “American Idol.”

USHER'S EX TAMEKA RAYMOND CALLS HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND INFERTILE AND WANTS TO PLAY HOUSE WITH HER KIDS

Talk about hitting below the Uterus, man-eka is back to her old ways after weeks of burying her 11 year old son Kylie Glover who died of injuries caused in a boating accident at Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia.

You would think such a lost would bring a more kinder gentler spirit but sooooooooo not the case with the former Mrs. Raymond who is more bitter then ever and has absolutely took the gloves off.

Tameka Foster-Raymond’s frustrations boiled over on Saturday when she took to her Twitter page to attack ex-husband Usher Raymond’s girlfriend/manager, Grace Miguel.

Foster-Raymond — who is locked in a bitter child custody battle with Usher — tweeted: “Heck, if was barren, sterile, infertile, I’d probably want another woman's sons too..” The tweet was most likely in reference to Usher’s 40-something girlfriend, who reportedly controls every aspect of his life. 

Yikes that gotta hurt, we would hope these two would be able to get along for the sake of kids, but not such the case.  

Sources are saying This past Friday, Usher called Tameka on the phone and said to her,

 “How does it feel to have lost your kids? Your son is dead, and now you have lost the boys too.” He continued: “I will let them know that [they] used to have a mother.” She responded, “How do you know I lost? His response, Why do you think I hired John?” “I hate you!”

What is more interesting is the fact that she recorded his conversation and she never heard such confidence in his voice. It's hard to believe Usher would stoop that low, but she did so who knows...to be continued!

NICKI MINAJ NEW AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE? & MARIAH CAREY IS PISSED ABOUT THIS

She beez n the trap...Word on the street is that Nicki is going the cast of one of the biggest reality TV shows on TV.  Two sources have exclusively confirmed that rapper/singer Nicki Minaj has signed a deal to join the judging panel of “American Idol.”

The 29-year-old entertainer has been in talks to judge the Fox TV competition and a deal has reportedly been in the works for weeks.

Fox Broadcasting has yet to confirm the addition of Minaj or the return of veteran “Idol” judge Randy Jackson. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced their exits from the show last month.

Minaj, who has performed on the FOX program before, will join fellow new judge Mariah Carey when the show returns in January.

But not so fast, because Mariah and Dem babies is not happy with this new addition, even though the duo collaborated in past on a song.  

Nicki Minaj may well become a judge on "American Idol," but it will be at the expense of Mariah Carey, who we're told hung up the phone when she was told Nicki was the top candidate.

Sources connected with "Idol" tell TMZ ... Mariah was led to believe she would be the only woman on the judge's panel.  Choosing Nicki would not only crush that expectation, it would add insult to injury because Nicki (29) is a lot younger than Mariah (42).

As for the composition of the judge's panel, we're told by no means is it a done deal.  There are 2 scenarios being played out.  First, it's unclear if Randy Jackson will come back as a judge or a mentor.  If he leaves the judge's panel, there will be another spot to fill.

The second scenario ... we're told some of the honchos believe it's a mistake to have 2 women and a man on the panel, and a 4th male judge would be necessary. To be continued

LADY GAGA NEW HAIR COLOR LOUIS VUITTON BROWN

Lady Gaga has worn just about every hair color under the sun and over the rainbow. Off the top of our blonde head, we can think of pink, platinum, blue, black, blonde, neon yellow, turquoise, green, orange as well as many towering Marie Antoinette-style confectionary concoctions of two or three-tone colors.

"I'm gonna leave one streak of bad by my left ear. Lady when its down, and Gaga when its up. could we belong together? Definitely feeling less blond lately and little more progressive brunette. I am LOUIS VUITTON BROWN. BITCH THATS LV"

She followed that post with a photo her brown color, worn up so that must mean she’s Gaga.
