Usher arrived at the recording studio in grand fashion, NeNe clowned around following a photo shoot, Draya partied (what else?) hard with Teairra Marie, J. Hud flashed her abs while Evelyn tried to defend hers and more memories from the week that was snatched straight from the timelines ofTwitter loving pop culture personalities after the jump.

With her youngest sons at her side Tameka Raymond celebrated both her birthday and the new year in sunny Miami. Actress A.J. Johnson, LisaRaye’s living voodoo doll Rocsi Diaz, singer Raphael Saadiq, Kim Porter and Mouf Breeva (don’t ask, don’t tell Cassie) all made cameos throughout the holiday weekend of fun.  10+ pictures under the cut.

If watching ‘Basketball Wives LA’ weren’t a job requirement I would spend my Monday nights perfecting my Nawlins ass bounce technique.

The constant bickering about past, present and future hoe shit is beyond mind numbing even for a ratchet loving person like myself but its a necessary evil, so much to the point that I passed up on attending a premiere party in support of the show. That says a lot when I let a chance to indulge in free swedish meatballs and assorted cheese trays slide.

Always outspoken television personalities Tionna Smalls and Sherri Shepherd retreated to their Twitter accounts to voice their displeasure on Shaunie O’Neal’s sound investment.

Coming down from an island dick high can be complicated but quitting cold turkey is about as stressful of a situation as Norwood Young deciding on which floral arrangement he will use as centerpieces for his Midsummer Night’s Dream themed brunch.

Still resting from the recent birth of her sixth child (and with speculation still swirling strong regarding paternity of the newborn) Lauryn Hill released a statement to well wishers and gossiping bitches alike this evening addressing what she describes as her “complex history” with Rohan Marley. Clutch your pearls and get into her fancy sans script after the jump.

The bitter bottoms of journalism known as FOX News couldn’t let Rabbit Beaver bask in his achievements over the weekend.

As Chris Brown beat out Wannabe White Grace Jones Lady GaGa’s Today show concert attendance record, FOX news anchors pretended to care about Rihanna. Laura Ingraham said she was disturbed by Chris’ past and that Americans should be “disgusted” by his actions.

The Prince of Bussy Pop tweeted angrily in response: “Running bogus and pointless stories don’t matter! My fans prove that everyday and the haters just look old as F**k !”

Coming to his aid was 50 Cent, who took to Twitter to write:

Bill O’Reilly doesn’t give a single damn, but thanks for caring, Curtis.

Monica says it’s not her fault that Lil’ Kim has to go back to PayPal now that she’s off her new single, “Anything (To Find You).”

Billboard.com says a source at J Records told them that the unnatural beauty was removed from the song due to contractual issues. It was news to Mrs. Chris Brown Lookalike, who took to Twitter to alert Mrs. Potato Head’s remaining stans that they needn’t come to her to bitch and moan.

Want a clearance? Don’t call the estate runner a bitch on the radio. Who shot ya indeed.

A day prior to the rapture coming and going Tiny was the apparent victim of a Twitter hijacking, with keyboard assailants sending out cryptic messages to her followers instructing them to “stand the ground” before dropping hints about being horny.

Keystrokes shy of telling Young Jeezy to assassinate our former president, I know. According to Sandra Rose this may just be the work of one of your cousins at the AT&T store in Buckhead:

Tiny isn’t sure when her account was hacked or by whom, but she did take her cell phone to AT&T yesterday to have the SIM card switched out because her cell wasn’t working. A few hours later, Tiny’s Twitter account was hijacked and someone began sending offensive tweets out to Tiny’s celebrity friends and fans.

In a series of updates made to his Twitter account on Tuesday night, Randy Jackson aired his grievances over Oprah’s weekend visit to the Jackson family compound in Encino, California to conduct an interview with parents Katherine and Joe Jackson. One Killer Knowles Klan roots box coming right up!

“i know every 1 wants to know my position on the Oprah interview… 1rst let me say that i love my mother and father. i am humbly grateful to have them as my parents… but i don’t always agree with the choices they make. this is 1 of those times… i found out Oprah was at our family home, my stomach ached and it still hasn’t gone away.”

“i had no prior knowledge this was going to happen. it was deliberately kept from me because they knew i would have tried to stop it… I know how Oprah feels about my brother and family. i also know that he would not have wanted this… in fact, she is the last person on earth he would want around his children,” Randy continued.

Adding, “i can never forget when she had the show on pedophilia during the jury deliberation process in my brother’s santa maria case… that was no coincidence… i know there are a lot of you out there upset and angry over this. i don’t blame you… can you imagine how i feel. i’m angry 2”

The musical trifecta consisting of Kanye, Beyonce, and Charlie Wilson didn’t go down during karaoke night in the green room at Snoop Dogg’s house but rather on wax.
