SLAM DUNK! MICHAEL JORDAN MARRIES IN FRONT OF 2000 GUEST

And we were not one of them, but once again this is an awesome victory for Gold-diggers to see one of your own hit the lottery.  We salute you Mrs. Jordan.  Talk about a slam dunk!  She doesn't ever have to stand in line for a pair of new MJ's that's why she is the luckiest woman in the world.

After five years of dating, former NBA star Michael Jordan, 50, and his model-fiancée, Yvette Prieto, 35, made it official with a wedding in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday. 

About 500 people arriving by tour buses piled into an Episcopal church called Bethesda-by-the Sea, where Donald Trump was married to Melania in 2005. 

Jordan invited another 1,500 to join them for the reception at the Bears Club, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course community in Jupiter, Fla., where Jordan recently built a 38,000-square-foot home. 

Home sweet home: Jordan's sprawling home is only 35,000-square-feet, which was deemed not enough space to give his 2,000 wedding guests enough room to roam around. 

"They've been planning for months and months," says a source of the nuptials. "He wanted to give Yvette everything she's ever wanted."

Jordan, now the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, proposed over the Christmas holidays in 2011. They applied for their wedding license in March at the Palm Beach County courthouse. 

On Friday afternoon, they were spotted attending their rehearsal at the church. 

Prieto, 35, met Jordan at a Miami nightclub in 2008. 

This is the second marriage for the Chicago Bulls legend. He and his first wife Juanita Vanoy divorced in 2006 after 17 years of marriage, and the couple have three grown children together. 

Options: The wedding reception venue is 40,000 sq ft, smaller than Jordan's 35,000 sq ft mansion

I do: Jordan's beautiful bride, 35-year-old Yvette Prieto, will walk down the aisle at the Bethesda-By-The-Sea Church on late Saturday.

LAURYN HILL LAUNCHES NEW LABEL WITH SONY & ADDRESSES FINANCIAL TROUBLES

Lauryn Hill has taken to her blog to announce she has signed a new record deal, and hints that former contracts with music label executives are to blame for her financial woes.

The former Fugees star is currently facing a stint behind bars after pleading guilty to charges of failing to file her tax returns between 2005 and 2007.


Now, the reclusive singer has gone online to confirm reports she has signed a new record deal, and suggests bad business deals and "parasitic" record label contracts left her in financial difficulty, despite her huge success.

She writes,

"It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music.
"I've been fighting for existential and economic freedom, which means the freedom to create and live without someone threatening, controlling, and/or manipulating the art and the artist, by tying the purse strings. It took years for me to get out of the 'parasitic' dynamic of my youth, and into a deal that better reflects my true contribution as an artist, and (purportedly) gives me the control necessary to create a paradigm suitable for my needs.
"The nature of my new business venture, as well as the dollar amount reported, was inaccurate, only a portion of the overall deal. Keep in mind, my past recordings have sold over 50,000,000 units worldwide, earning the label a tremendous amount of money (a fraction of which actually came to me).
"Only a completely complicated set of traps, manipulations, and inequitable business arrangements could put someone who has accomplished the things that I have, financially in need of anything."

THE CARTERS TAKE OVER PARIS, BEYONCE, JAY & LIL BLUE IVY IN HER THROW BACKS



"Got those Carters In Paris and they going Gorilla huh", some of you will understand were we are going with that line. Anyway. HEY BLUE IVY!

The trio looked cute and relaxed as they enjoyed their lunch at Szptime restaurant. Beyoncé refers to her baby blue as her little “road dog,” “homey” and “best friend” according to People Magazine. Daddy Jay Z showered his little princess with lots of kisses as they enjoyed an intimate lunch date in Paris.

Beyoncé is in Paris performing back-to-back sold out shows for her Mrs. Carter Tour; so I am guessing she wanted to spend her downtime with her two favorite people! Her man and her little up and coming diva. Blue's sneaker game has been set since birth, and she proved she was still holding down the toddler sneaker throne when she was spotted out at lunch with mama Beyonce and Papa Jay-Z.

When you're a toddler as busy as Blue, you have to find shoes to fit the wobble-walking lifestyle! Check out Blue rocking her Adidas at an affordable $70.00 a Paris.

In other Beyoncé news like we previously reported, Mrs. Carter debuted new music today in an H&M ad. Jay-Z, meanwhile, is busy gearing up for his own Legends of the Summer tour, though he was in NYC hanging out with pal Kanye West earlier this week.

BEYONCE GOES FROM BLONDE TO BRUNETTE IN HER BIKINI CLAD H & M CAMPAIGN

Beyonce does it all, even black hair.  Beyoncé has always said there are two sides to her personality - the sweet girl next door and her provocative alter ego Sasha Fierce.  And now she has split herself in a dazzling new advert for clothing giant H&M - going from innocent blonde to seductive brunette.

On fact, the 31-year-old Crazy in love singer looks almost unrecognisable with her jet black hair in the one minute promotional video.  Filmed in the Bahamas the gorgeous star looks perfect in a selection of bikinis and incredible dresses as she provocatively dances on the crisp white sands.

Aside from moving around to her new single Standing On The Sun, Beyoncé, who is performing as Mrs Carter in the video, writhes around in the crystal clear water in a clinging blue dress which shows off her incredibly muscly physique to perfection.

Her jet black hair serves to highlight her bright hazel eyes and the singer looks slimmer than ever in the advert.


With a trim stomach and toned legs it is hard to believe the Single Ladies singer gave birth in January last year.  The 90-second spot also features the debut of her Sia-penned song, “Standing on the Sun.” The clothing will be available beginning in May at H&M stores worldwide and online.

And it is certain that the star will approve of the video, unlike pictures of her Superbowl appearance. 

 

 

 

The outspoken mother of Blue Ivy has banned press photographers from her Mrs Carter Show World Tour in an apparent attempt to prevent the release of unflattering pictures.


No photo credentials are to be granted for her concerts, her UK publicist has confirmed, and instead she's hired her own snapper, Frank Micelotta, to capture her in action - and her best angles. 
Fstoppers.com revealed Beyonce's company Parkwood Entertainment is only giving out three to five pre-approved images shot to media after the show.

KELLY ROWLAND MAKES THE PEOPLE'S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ISSUE WITH NO MAKE-UP

The lovely Miss Kelly Rowland may have gone through a period where she didn’t believe in her beauty, but she’s very comfortable in her skin now and it shows in her new shoot for People’s Magazine. In the upcoming Most Beautiful People Issue, she shows off her flawless skin while posing in a photo spread with no make up on.

During the shoot, she revealed:

The first thing that popped in my head when I was asked to be a part of People’s No Make Up [shoot] was , “Oh My God! Oh my god what’s going to happen! Oh my God I’m honored” but I’m very happy.  I feel very comfortable in my skin and very comfortable to share it with you guys. When I’m not working, my preference is no make up.  I like for my skin to breathe because I do wear make up a lot, so I think it’s necessary to be au naturel.

What I don’t love about my face that gets covered by make up is my bags when I’m really really tired, but I love that make up does the trick.

When I don’t have make up on, I feel clean. I feel really really clean.

UPDATE: MAN ARRESTED IN THE FATAL SHOOTING OF RAPPER TRINA'S BROTHER

Like we previously reported last night, Rapper Trina brother was gunned down on the streets of Miami, here is the latest news.

From Miami Dade: Miami-Dade Police said Tuesday night they have arrested a 27-year-old man in connection with the fatal shooting of the brother of the famous female rapper Trina in northwest Miami Tuesday morning.

Ron Dobson (pictured above) faces a second-degree murder charge, police said in an arrest affidavit. It wasn't immediately known whether he has an attorney.

Jail records showed he was being held without bond Wednesday morning.

Residents said that the rapper's brother Wilbrent Bain, who goes by the nickname "Gonk," was shot and killed on Northwest 91st Street. Bain and the man who shot him were friends and lived around the corner from each other at Northwest 91st Street and 24th Avenue, neighbors told NBC 6.

The incident happened at about 9:35 a.m., according to police.

The two men had a dispute, and the victim began to get off his bicycle when Dobson took a firearm from his waistband and shot him multiple times, the affidavit said.

After he was read his Miranda rights, Dobson confessed to his involvement in the victim's death, the affidavit said.

Bain lived his entire life in northwest Miami, where he is well known.

"Now, I'm hurt because this man is gone for no reason at all," neighbor Demetrius Hammond said. "He was a close friend to me."

"He's a very good kid," family friend the Rev. Gary Johnson said of Bain. "It's unfortunate. It's a terrible tragedy.
