Diddy Denies Marriage Talk
Love is the pits (*snickers*) .
Sean “Diddy” Combs is denying recent reports that he is about to marry Kim Porter, his longtime girlfriend and mother of his eight-year-old son Christian Casey. One rumor had the couple planning to exchange vows on Aug. 1 during Diddy’s annual White Party, which is being held this year in St. Tropez, France. A rep for the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul says, “It’s not true.” (Eurweb)
I swear when I see these two the lyrics to Laura Nyro’s “Wedding Bell Blues” pop into my head. Oh well. Speaking of his royal Diddyness, you can peep his new Myspace video here. Yes, he is still in the bathroom. Thanks Da Real for the info!

Lupe Fiasco and Jill Scott On The Set of “Daydreaming”
Whenever I see a picture of Jill Scott smiling it makes me always feel all warm inside. Like there is something real there. I would continue to shower her with compliments but I know somebody will show up in the comments section in about 15 minutes saying that she sales crack to the same kids she helps with the Blues Babe Foundation.

Did Prince’s Protoge Cause Split?
Music-industry insiders are whispering about the real reason Prince split from his wife of five years, Testolini Nelson. “Prince has been spending an inordinate amount of time with his new protege, Tamar,” said our source. “He is trying to get her signed with a major label and has her doing the rounds. Everyone takes the meeting because of Prince, but she’s just a pretty girl singing Prince songs. It is not very good. He hasn’t found a taker, but he is smitten with her.” Calls to Prince’s office were not returned. (Page Six)
I know a lot of you may be scratching your heads wondering who exactly this Tamar is. MTV recently did a little 3 minute spotlight on her as an artist to watch. Back in the she was in the group Girl Tyme along with Kelly and Beyonce. You can find out more info on her here.

Fresh Flicks : Venus and Serena @ “Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby” Premiere
About two years ago when I was leaving the good life in my dorm, a few of my guy friends were all congregated in the group room watching Rap City. As always they was busy with their usual banter. One of them mentioned how it was their dream to get down with two sisters at once and they all agreed. So of course me being the sarcastic bastard that I am, I tossed up the Williams. I have you know that everybody in the room born with testicles gave me the side eye.
And in my best John Weatherspoon impersonation I responded, “Well,what’s the problem?”
I know I haven’t been writing for Harris Publications for long but may I suggest featuring Venus and Serena on the cover of King? It would sale like hot cakes, son! The prisoners would eat it up too.
Let me stop.

Candids of Oprah and Beyonce + Mama Tina
Before I get started I have to share something with you all. This could be very well a good indication of how their offspring may look in the future. I’m just saying.

07.27.2006 Nippy Watch
My apologies for the Nippy updates being few and far in between. From what you guys have been telling me in your emails, she is out in California with CeCe Winans. I don’t know how true that is but I just hope she is doing well.
Tina Brown is making her media rounds again. Here is an excerpt from her interview with Jamie Foster Brown in the August 2006 issue of Sister 2 Sister. I will scan the entire article later. My computer is on that kryptonite right now.
Sister 2 Sister: The tabloids are saying that Whitney is broke.
Tina Brown: But guess what? She has like 40 people on her payroll. They all have chauffeurs and buying brand new cars and all this, but she’s broke? Come on! She did Europe and she got $750,000 a night and when she got back I said, “Nip…” I always try to encourage her to handle her own bills. And come to find out, I said, “Where’s all your money, Nip?” She said, “They say I owe people.” I said, “You don’t owe people . . . ” Come on! And all that money does not go to drugs. They spend a lot of money on drugs, yah. But it’s not $750,000 worth.
S2S: Do you know if Whitney has a brain tumor or not?
TB: I don’t know. But the talk in my family is that she does! On the outside world, no! But in my family, yes! And (a family member) said the other day, “It’s getting worse. Let’s take her to the hospital.” And (another family member) said no because of the media. “We don’t want them to know.” So they got her on a phone and took her to–she’s going into her childlike states and everything. All the symptoms are there.
S2S: Does Bobby know about any of this?
TB: Bobby got a phone call in front of my sister. He dropped the phone and started screaming and crying. Come to find out, that’s what was said.
S2S: What was said?
TB: They called from California stating that she had a tumor. Why are they keeping this a secret, I don’t know. But it’s so much. It’s so much!
Yeah it is so much, damn.

Ashanti & Nelly At The Premiere of “John Tucker Must Die”
If I was about 10 years younger I would probably give a damn about “John Tucker Must Die.” But since I’m not you already know. Any movie advertised as “this year’s ‘Mean Girls’ ” is not my cup of tea.
I must be getting soft because all of these celebrity couples are becoming cute to me (Janet and Tattoo included). Here are a few pictures of Ashanti and Nelly at the movie premiere Tuesday. Ashanti’s family also came out to show their support. Her dad’s hair is awesome.

Key Kids, Are You A Side Line Ho?
If your man doesn’t take you to church and leaves you alone on the holidays, you’re a sideline ho. Hey, those are Monica’s words, not ours.
The R&B diva’s next release, ‘The Makings of Me,’ is due in September. The song ‘Sideline Ho’ was actually inspired by an ex who cheated on her with (gasp!) a video model. Co-produced by Tank, the mid-tempo track finds the new mom exposing the havoc wrought by that chick on the side.
Despite the obvious fightin’ words of ‘Sideline Ho,’ Monica tells AOL Music she was “much nicer” on wax than in real life. “I felt a little sad when I walked away from the situation, even for her, because he had no desire to be with her,” she says. “Looking back now, I kinda get it. I believe in love strongly and expect a lot out of relationships, so I think I was just too much for him altogether.”
Before the whispering starts about said cheater’s identity, let’s clear one thing up. “[He is] absolutely not my son’s father,” says Monica. “Hell no!”
(AOL Music)
I have nothing to say about this one. Click here to listen.

Your Two Cents Required : Janet’s New Video
Tonight I not only watched the world premiere (pre-miere, puh-puh-premiere) for the video “Call On Me”, but it was the first time I heard the song period. I actually did this on purpose because I wanted to get the full “experience.” I sort of wished I would’ve done the same with “Deja Vu” but I couldn’t seem to shake the song. Damn you Mathew!
Anyway, you know the drill. Questions, comments, or concerns?
