Barely out of his teens, then Temple University student Janero Merchand played a pivotal role in putting a relatively unknown Amber Rose on the map after meeting the model on the set of a photo shoot and later connecting her with Kanye West in the days that follow.

“When I first met Amber Rose, a lot of people don’t know this, she had on a Baby Phat coat and Nike high heels,” Janero says. “But what I saw about Amber Rose was she had a star quality potential.”

As the fairy tale goes, Kanye paid for her trip out to the west coast to star in the visual for 808’s and Heartbreak’s cut “Robocop,”sparking an instant connection with Amber in the process.

The countdown to the demise of Amber and Janero’s relationship, personally and professionally, was officially on after she returned back home to Philly. Watch the self-appointed “Michael Jordan of models” (ROFL) offer his side of the story after the jump.

Lil’ Kim is ready to put the game in a choke hold in 2012. She even has the promo picture to prove it, you bastards. The floor is open for all questions, comments and concerns.

This is just an old batch of collard greens type of stank but somebody’s man (or aggressive stud) just got rocked up from looking at it.

You may not recognize him without Jason Weaver (you’ll always be the hood’s young Michael Jackson sir) singing nearby but Chingy is still finding a way to flip his Job Corps bi-weekly allowance — clap for him. You will have to ask his drag queen friends on FormSpring if he is still equipped with much ding-a-ling, though.

We’ve only known that someone other than a fallen boy band member will be calling Bow Wow daddy in due time for about a week and already there’s drama in the House of Wow.

It seems ass model Joie Chavis has found the number to TMZ and already she’s running her mouth.

This time it’s about why she left Bow Wow’s name off their baby’s birthday certificate:

Joie Chavis tells TMZ … she was shocked that B.W. wasn’t there for her when she went under the knife for an emergency C-section on April 27. And if Bow Wow’s excuse was squeamishness, it didn’t explain his absence in the days that followed.

He finally showed up on the 6th day of the baby’s life, to take them home.

Pissed as she was, Joie tells us Bow Wow has turned it around and now is all about baby Shai.

Joie says she’s now willing to let bygones be bygones and put Bow Wow on the document, but it’s going to take a judge to make that happen. (source)

First comes the lost condom, then comes the skip past marriage, and then comes Shad with the baby mama baggage.

For the record, Omarion would’ve never pulled that move if he carried Bow Wow’s seed. That’s a real ride or die bitch for you.

Before you shade Tiny understand two things: She’s Mrs. Harris now (she even has the tattoo in case her blinding bling wasn’t enough for you hater heaux to stomach) and these are not claymation stills of any kind.

Please pull forward for your total.

“I think he pulled a track out when he was blowing my back out / What was I drinking? I can’t believe I blacked out / I must have been on drugs . . . I hope he used a rubber / or Imma be in trouble / Promise I don’t remember / except for rolling over.”

Surprisingly, this isn’t from Kat Stacks’ latest blog entry. Known mostly for being the owner of a vicious killer overbite, former Cheetah Girls member Kiely Williams is trying to shake that pesky Disney label 3 years too late by reminding the masses of her non-existent vocal skills, sex appeal, and relevancy.

If TJ from Smart Guy turns up on the remix, I’m fucking done.

Never mind the boo boo. War wounds from battling irrelevancy are rather common.

At approximately 9:08 PM EST my weary soul went home to be with Trap Jesus after coming across pictures of Chico DeBarge giving his all for rent money at a Miami nightclub. You laugh but one of your older cousins spent many nights humping their body pillow in the heat of the night while looking up at his Word Up! poster pinned strategically on their bedroom ceiling. If it wasn’t you of course.

No, really. I’ve seen it all tonight. First Kourtney Kardashian pulls her baby out of the burning wreckage that is her pussy and now this. James Frey couldn’t make this gathering of random negro souls up if this month’s rent depended on it. Bitch would be out on the streets trying to get on Quween’s good side. Unbelievable.

Leave it up to Karrine and her big bag of hoe tricks to try to steal RuPaul’s mustache thunder. We’re supposed to be discussing the mutha-fuckin-stache at this moment! Sharing a mutual admiration of dicks is one thing. This shit right here?

Mystikal just got out of prison. What’s your excuse?
