Shaquille O’Neal and the object of Flavor Flav’s love and infection girlfriend former reality television star Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander tried their best to keep a low profile today inside New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport.

Check out a video clip of Hewpz giving lifting Shaq’s massive 7-foot-1, 325-pound frame for a quick piggyback ride (while wearing heels!) on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ after the jump.

And now for that piggyback ride:

Necole Bitchie reports:

Did Matt Barnes confirm the rumor that Gloria Govan was creeping with rapper The Game? Today, Matt took to his twitter and posted the following message regarding his separation to Gloria:

In May Gloria & I decided to separate & in the best interest of her career, I foolishly agreed to portray that we were still together. For her upcoming season of her show on VH1. As recently as August we decided to revisit a joint statement of our separation, but Gloria asked to delay making our separation public for the interest of her show. It is ironic now how Gloria is trying to manipulate The professional relationship between Eva Longoria & myself as the sole reason for our separation, when she knows we split up in May.

The reason why I broke my silence a month ago was because of the on going “affair” she was having with a now former FRIEND of mine. Again, I wish Gloria nothing but the best, & I will continue to keep our beautiful children as my first priority.. Thank you

Outfitted like a pot holder belonging in Patti LaBelle’s kitchen during the holiday season a fresh face Stacey Dash racked up on freebies (read: stocking stuffer gifts for cousin Dame Dash) over the weekend at the Rock ‘N’ Royalty GBK Music Lounge inside the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. The former ‘Single Ladies’ star was granted a divorce from her husband of two years, actor Emmanuel Xuereb, earlier this month. Fans of the actress can catch her hard at work in the independent film, Dysfunctional Friends. Check out a clip from the movie below.

Don’t everybody rush to press play all at once.

In promotion of his new album Tyrese sat down with friend to the site Jas Fly on behalf of Necole Bitchie last week to offer his breakdown on Black women who are too damn independent for their own good. Do you agree with his perspective?

The exaggerated inches on Christian Louboutins heels aren’t for the faint of heart. I have watched on in awe at my friends twerk through the night wearing the pricey pumps but never wished to trade places. I’m not about that playing Russian Roulette with my ankles life nor the long walk across the parking lot to the car. Catch me in VIP rocking Chinese slippers, hoe.

Photographer Derick G was on hand at the video shoot for Katrina Laverne’s ode to the designer shoes, “Long Heels Red Bottoms.” I can’t to watch my best gay re-enact the visuals at his next drag showcase!

When you can personally invite members of G-Unit to your home for a pool party you don’t need a stinkin’ reality television show to stamp your hood pass. No word on if Lloyd Banks came through with a covered dish or not.

Meeka Claxton dished on being initiated into fight club by ‘Basketball Wives’ cast mate Tami Roman, Shaunie O’Neal’s role as show producer and more in a recent interview with Essence.com:

Did you join “Basketball Wives” to promote your real estate business? Is it odd that you’re the only wife?

No, we’re good if we sell one house per year because the average commission is six figures. I thought basketball wives were being misrepresented. I didn’t look for the opportunity, it came to me from a mutual friend Shaunie O’Neal and I share who suggested I join the show. I talked it over with friends and decided to join and show the other side of wives’ lives. It was weird being the only wife, I didn’t know how the other girls would receive me. But I was excited because I wanted to show my great husband, family, business and work we do in the community.

Did you expect her to hit you at the club in Italy?

No! I didn’t even know we were going to have a conversation, Tami’s opinion never mattered to me. I think that’s why she kept at it but, like I tell my children, you have to ignore bullies. It wasn’t until I was escorted out [of the club] that I realized that she had on flip-flops and to me if you’re dressed like that in a club, you’re ready to fight.

Greasy Meeka is still trying to dig herself from the hole Drunk Ass Tami slung her in during their not so relaxing vacation in Italy. Wonder how that is working out for her.

At any rate, listen to Mrs. Speedy Claxton (save your shade) dish on her come up, share her real thoughts on cast mate Royce Reed and drop hints on what to expect on the Basketball Wives 3 reunion (which filmed this week) and more in a recent phone interview after the jump.

Black star power, baby. The USTA hosted Game Changers Pre-VIP Reception Promoting Diversity In Tennis event looked like the green room for the two-hour finale of The Mo’Nique Show. I would perform a Wal-Greens exorcism of my own on any soul that thinks that Arsenio and Whoopi Goldberg don’t share the same bloodline. Look at the frown lines, Maury.

Put a microphone and some cue cards in her hands and you have former 106 & Porch host Free circa 2002. I’m not a big fan of aggressive studs playing dress up (see Queen Latifah’s Cover Girl advertisements) but keeping the kitchen stocked with Moscato, buffalo wings and other stripper essentials doesn’t come cheap. Collect your coins, black man.

So So Def rapper Da Brat recently revealed her feminine side in a ‘summer chic’ shoot for VIBE.com. The Chicago native, born Shawntae Harris, maintains that despite her usual tomboy style, getting girlie is second nature. Brat – whose current mixtape Life After Death is available for download on Global14.com – gives some insight into the shoot here:

How did you feel about the Vibe.com photo shoot?

I absolutely loved it! The stylist Tamara Connor was amazing. Mara Z styled my hair with the help of her assistant Dina as well as my regular hairstylist, Shontelle Sampeur. Mara also did my makeup. Both hair and make-up were great. And I loved the photographer, Alex. I definitely want to do more photo shoots with him because I can tell he is passionate about his work.

Was it uncomfortable transitioning into a “sex symbol” or is this just another side of you that we never see?

I’m such a fucking lady. I loved to get glammed up. I love manis and pedis. I like to go to Vicky Secrets and La Perla because I like lace and bikinis. I’m such a P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thug)

What type of message do you want to portray to women about their bodies.

Be who you are!

What are you doing to stay in shape?

Work out. Working out is like a stress reliever.

What type of clothes do you wear to make you look sexy?

It depends on the look and how I’m feeling that day.

What is your favorite body part?

I don’t have just one. I love all parts of my body! But on a man, [Girl, good day. -- Fresh] I love the Adonis line. It’s just so sexy!

What do you have to say about your new mixtape?

It’s DUMB STUPID CRAZY! It’s HOTTER THAN A MOTHER FUCKER! BRAT IS BACK!
