You know what, I’ve never been the type of person to discriminate. But I honestly have to say I never thought I would be with a white guy — ever. I know that sounds horrible. But, it just happened and he’s amazing. ANd im the first black girl he’s been with and its been interesting.

The wedding photos we’ve all been waiting for from the “second time around” wedding of NeNe Leakes to ex-husband Gregg have finally been released. And bigger was definitely better for this ceremony!

Over the weekend NeNe and Gregg said their “I Do” re-dos in front of over 400 guests at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead. The “Old Hollywood” themed wedding spared no expense.  And NeNe looked flawless.

Life and Style magazine was on hand to capture all the precious moments, and the Bravo TV cameras were there to film scenes for NeNe’s upcoming spin-off, “I Dream of NeNe.” The bride wore a $50,000 Baracci dress for the wedding, then changed into a $20,000 Pnina Tornai dress for the reception. 

Throw in a six-tier wedding cake, performances by Fantasia Barrino, and crystals hanging from the ceiling and suddenly 1.8 million seems like chump change.

Her nine bridesmaids, which included cast mate from RHOA Cynthia Bailey and Jennifer Williams formerly of “Basketball Wives” all wore white Gabriella Arango gowns.

VIDEO: KELLY ROWLAND PERFORMS ‘THIS IS LOVE’ ON ‘KATIE’

On The-Dream-penned song, she sings about an abusive ex, but she doesn’t harbor any ill will. “We were two different people back then,” she said. “I’m in such a different space and so is he and he’s a good guy and I’m really happy for him the way his life turned out. My life isn’t so bad either.”

 Kelly Rowland talked a good game with Katie Couric during her visit to her daytime talk show on Wednesday. The “Dirty Laundry” singer spoke about her confessional song and a potential Destiny’s Child reunion.

As for DC, Beyoncé, Michelle, and Kelly have no immediate plans for a reunion as they are all busy with their solo projects.

She also performed her tender ballad “This Is Love” off her new album Talk a Good Game, which debuted at No. 4 with 68,000.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN, CHRIS BROWN CHARGED WITH HIT-AND-RUN

According to TMZ, the L.A. City Attorney has filed two criminal charges against Brown stemming from a minor accident last month where he rear-ended a Mercedes in his Range Rover. He allegedly refused to hand over his driver’s license number and gave fake insurance info before leaving the scene.

Chris Brown can’t catch a break. After being accused of assaulting a clubgoer over the weekend, the R&B singer has been charged with criminal hit-and-run.

The City Attorney has charged him with hit-and-run for leaving the scene without exchanging proper information. He’s also been charged with the crime of driving without a valid license. Each offense is punishable by a maximum of six months in jail.

If the L.A. County D.A. determines the new charges to be a probation violation in his Rihanna assault case, the judge could violate his probation and worst case, sentence him to four years behind bars.

UPDATE: Chris has responded to the charges on Twitter.

BEYONCE DAD MATTHHEW KNOWLES SUES TABLOID FOR REPORTING HE'S NOT IN DAUGHTERS LIFE

Matthew Knowles is on damage control, Beyoncé means the world to her father, Mathew Knowles.  So insists Knowles himself in a defamation lawsuit filed against London's Sun tabloid, which, he claims in a statement released to E! News, interviewed him and then "knowingly and maliciously misrepresented [his] relationship with his daughter, Beyoncé, and with his granddaughter," Blue Ivy Carter.

The story also states: "Although he insists the decision to go their separate ways was mutual, Mathew, 61, is hurt that Beyoncé has cut him out of her life." 

In his statement, Knowles calls foul on those three particular assertions.

"My daughters and my family mean the world to me," he said. "The barrage of repeated falsehoods spawned by the British Sun's defamatory article has been exhausting and personally damaging to me. No matter how many papers it sells or web hits it generates, The Sun, like any newspaper, needs to maintain a basic level of journalistic integrity. The Sun crossed the line when it went after my family. The Sun needs to be held responsible for its lies in a court of law. This happens too often to too many people, and it is simply unfair."

Meanwhile, the paper also quotes Knowles in the article as saying, "'Normally I hate to talk about anything personal, but it would be a lie if I did not say it has been difficult. It was hard for me to let her go—it was hard for both of us to let each other go. And let's be clear on that. She didn't let me go, we both let each other go. That's a big difference."

Knowles is suing The Sun for unspecified damages, alleging defamation and breach of contract.

TUPAC THE MUSICAL COMING TO BROADWAY "HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME"

That's right, the music of rapper/urban legend Tupac Shakur will hopefully be put to stage soon, as a workshop of the new musical Holler If Ya Hear Me is currently ongoing.

A new musical inspired by Tupac Shakur is currently being developed by Atlanta’s own Kenny Leon (director of “Rasin in the Sun” and “Fences”).  ”Holler if Ya Hear Me” is being workshopped in New York and could debut during Broadway’s 2013-14 season. The show will be fueled by Tupac’s greatest hits and poetry but the production will not be a biographical sketch of his life.

“Holler if Ya Hear Me” is a fictional account of two childhood friends and their families facing challenges in a Midwestern industrial city during the present day. The creative team includes Tony-winning choreographer Wayne Cilento (“Wicked”) and Todd Kreidler (“Radio Golf,” “Gem of the Ocean”), who wrote the book.  Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur, is slated to be a producer for the project.

Were kinda feeling this, so in the spirit of Tupac we will take you back to last year coachella when his hologram was used to perform with snoop dog and Dre Dre.  Peep Video Below:

VIDEO: LEBRON JAMES ALMOST LOSES HIS HEAD.....LITERALLY AT HEAT PARADE IN FRONT OF 400,000 FANS

Talk about close call!  Whoever planned the Miami Heat Victory parade clearly saw no problem with LeBron James and his similarly sized team-mates standing on top of a double-decker bus riding along a route filled with low-hanging overpasses.

Indeed, eleven of the 15 players on the Heat roster stand at least 6-foot-8, including star forward and NBA Finals MVP James.

So imagine the surprise on a cigar-smoking James' face when their victorious parade turned into an obstacle course - caught on video by the obligatory 'LeBron Cam', set up to follow the illustrious two-time Finals winner.

James was up front on the double-decker with his sons and Juwan Howard, pointing to the thousands who had lined the route to cheer on their winning team.

The bus went under three consecutive overpasses that had a 14-foot-6 clearance, but 6-foot-8 LeBron had to duck each time - in one case turning just in time to bob his head under one of the bridges along 8th St. and up Buscayne Blvd in Miami.

LEAN BACK...FAT JOE SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR TAX EVASION

Today, Fat Joe was sentenced to four months in prison, a $15,000 fine, and one year of supervised release for failing to pay taxes on nearly $3 million in income over two years. Last December, Joe previously admitted he failed to pay his taxes and blamed “fancy guys in bow ties” but ultimately vowed to pay what he owed. 

According to the Cliff View Pilot, Joe owed $718,038 in back taxes from 2007 through 2010 but in the end, he only pleaded guilty for the two years.

The report also claimed Joe made $1.18 million in 2007, more than $1.28 million in 2008, more than $265,000 in 2009, and more than $630,000 in 2010. In that four year stretch, Joe only had one Top 40 hit (the J. Holiday assisted "I Won't Tell" in 2007) and dropped three albums. 

Joe is currently free on $250,000 bail but is set to begin serving his sentence on August 26. 

JADA PINKETT-SMITH SHOWS OFF HER ROCK HARD ABS AT 41 IN HAWAII

If you are over 40 and have a celebrity trainer this should give you hope, that you too can look like Jada Pinkett Smith when you grow up. She's become a pro at juggling a hectic Hollywood career with looking after her two children.

But Jada Pinkett Smith proved that she also has time to keep in shape, as she stripped down to a bikini in Hawaii on Friday.

The 41-year-old showed off her rock hard abs as she wandered around in the tiny two-piece, before treating herself to a surfing lesson.

She might be one of the hardest-working mom in the business, but Jada made time for herself during the day at the beach.

And far from looking stressed out, the actress smiled as she strolled along the sand with her surfing instructor before getting stuck into the activity.  Proving that hard work in the gym really does pay off, Jada sported an impressive set of muscles and a washboard stomach.

She listened patiently as she was given instructions and after the lesson she bumped fists with her instructor before heading back onto the beach.

A few days before Jada had been seen paddle-boarding along a river with husband Will and their two children Willow, 12, and Jaden, 15.  The 44-year-old actor treated his family to the activity-filled holiday after doing the promo rounds for his latest film After Earth, co-starring his son.

SNEAK PEEK KELLY ROWLAND "DIRTY LAUNDRY" & 1ST WEEK ALBUM SALES

Here it is a longer look at Kelly Rowland’s ‘Dirty Laundry’ video, Kelly teases the audience with a  30-second clip the singer just released via her Facebook page.

Kelly gave us a glimpse of the video earlier last week while appearing on Good Morning America to promote her ‘Talk a Good Game’ album. This new clip, however, is much longer and far clearer. As to when the full video will debut, Kelly and her camp are being mum.

By the way, if you haven’t heard, first week sales predictions have ‘Talk a Good Game’ selling around 75,000 copies. That estimate rose a bit, as previous estimates had her selling between 60-65k, which isn't that great considering Kayne recent album sales Yeezus reached 315,000 to 350,000 in the first week of sales.

See those numbers are always interesting too us, because you have 2 to 3 million twitter and facebook followers but that doesn't mean it will result in album sales.
