‘Cause if you run your mouth and tweet about this secret rendezvous, I will shade you down. This is private, between you and I.

Find out who rocked this dangerous looking pair of futuristic footwear to The 54th Annual Grammy Awards Grammy Glam event on Tuesday (February 7) in Los Angeles after the jump. Hint: It’s not Derek J. Girl, hand me some glowsticks!

It’s Dawn Richards! Now, if you could figure that one out with a simple guess you know ankles all too well.

After stints in Danity Kane and Filthy Coupons, the singer is finally kick starting her solo career. Watch her video for “SMFU (Save Me From U)” below.

Allow the lace front glue dry on your forehead until its nice and tacky, because with Love & Hip soon to make its Dirty South arrival it’s going to be a long bumpy ride. As usual, my girl ATLien has the scoop on what’s happening in The Big Peach:

I spilled the tea back in December about the Atlanta version of the popular VH1 reality series and reportedly filming has already begun! In my original post it was speculated that ATL participants would include Rasheeda, Diamond and Nivea. Well there may be a reality-show shake up coming soon because word on the curb is that Nivea is a no go and at least one of the people in the photo above will be leaving their high rated show to jump aboard the Love & Hip Hop train.

Here’s what I’ve heard so far about the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast. Diamond and Rasheeda are all aboard. Rasheeda is a well-known and respected female rapper … at least in Atlanta, where she’s made waves with quite a few singles. She once joined forces with her BFF Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta along with Toya Carter Wright, Lola Monroe and Diamond for a female version of the song “Bedrock.”

Diamond, formerly of the group Crime Mob, has made quite a few hood anthems herself but I’m not too privy on most of em. Diamond is known as a hustler and wants to make it in the game by any means necessary.

She has most notably made her name known on the blogs by associating herself with a few male rappers in the ATL, with Gucci Mane, Scrappy & Soulja Boy all allegedly fighting for the draws.

Rici is said to also joining the cast as a “Yandy” type character. Rici (formerly of Block Entertainment) is known around the ATL as a celebrity assistant of sorts. She formerly worked with Block Ent. artists like Gorilla Zoe, Yung Joc, and is closely associated with Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame’s camp.

Word on the curb is that those Yung Joc nude shots came from her private stash… (but you didn’t hear that from me).

In her former life, Honey Boo Boo Child supported herself, son Raekwon and  Baby Phat velour tracksuit addiction by working double shifts at Obama Beauty Supply, and none of you are going to tell me anything different about it. The mother of the Toddler & Tiaras star offered some real talk to Good Morning America correspondent Andrea Canning about the love of Alana’s chug.

If it’s good enough for Drake and Common it should be good enough for you too. More shots of Sir Enna trying her best to stay icognegro, plus stories from around the web after the jump!

My sentiments exactly, Chris Brown.

If you have a song deep inside your heart (that hopefully doesn’t sound anything like this one) pass it along to Birdman because it just might be good enough to generate enough cash for a down payment on his next Bugatti. The hand rubbing aficionado tells Billboard magazine that he has high hopes to diversify the Cash Money brand by including other genres of music.

“We dominate Rap, but we need to dominate R&B,” Birdman told Billboard. “We need to dominate Pop, Gospel, Country — we’re a brand so we should be able to put out all these types of music. We just got to keep grinding.”

Oh the downloadable fuckery those musical mergers would bring the world. DJ Khaled screaming out “We the best forever!” over a honky tonk beat? “Pussy Monster (Reprise)” featuring Lil’ Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Paula White?

The #1 Stunna said he’ll “shoot up anything except a school or a playground.” Church parking lots don’t fall under that umbrella.

After hitting the red carpet at the New York City premiere for ‘Safe House,’ Ashanti sweated her edges out on the dance floor salsa dancing with Super Bowl champ (and new IMG model) Victor Cruz inside at Kiss & Fly . This is looking a lot like an opportunity to upgrade.

With boards in front of her relating a tale of woe, a young girl managed to accumulate lots of donations from kindhearted strangers in the street in Nanchong, southwest China’s Sichuan Province. But then . . .

A closer look revealed that the girl was in fact a grown ass man!

“She had several boards in front of her explaining her difficulties to win people’s sympathy. But when I was taking pictures of her I found she is really a ‘dirty man,’” says the person responsible for snapping the above flicks. “I was shocked and I didn’t throw any notes into her begging box. When a passerby questioned him about cheating people he even laughed at that person for being stupid.”

Solange made a bold entrance (and maybe made a subtle shout out to one month niece, Blue) while arriving at the Runway to Win fundraiser for President Obama on Tuesday night (February 7) in a show stopping abstract patterned blue gown from the Vera Wang Spring 2012 collection.

“Vera Wang is a true artist,” wrote Solange in a post on her damn blog that has since been removed. “I feel so lucky to be her canvas, if just for this night.”

Basement Baby better werk! More flicks from the catwalk / sidewalk below:

He reportedly wants to remain culturally sensitive and avoid a stereotyped view of the region. “His team were hesitant to compare it directly to “Runaway” because the girl in it is dressed quite provocatively,” said the source. “But from what they told us, it’s going to be in the same vein. It’s their goal to use as much local talent and as much local crew as possible when they’re here.”

In news related the multifaceted entertainer, his spokesman at the Karla Otto agency confirmed to WWD that he will return to Paris Fashion Week again this season on March 6.
