He Say: “I rock with her because a while ago I saw that even if we were together as a couple, she was still cool. We bonded because we come from the same moral fabric. With me being a man of integrity, I could recognize her great attributes and qualities. When you find those things, you celebrate them. They don’t exist everywhere.”

She Say: “We were planning on getting married in 2007, but we broke up. It was for the betterment of the relationship. We were together at the height of his career. It gave him a chance to see what this world had to offer and what he had [with me.]“

Daniel “Boobie” Gibson x Keyshia Cole (pictured with son Daniel Jr.)

He Say: “The crazy thing about me and Key was, we talked on the phone for three or four months without ever meeting in person. We did the high school thing — we talked on the phone until the morning. We really got to know each other well before we met in person. She has morals and a big heart. Once we met, things happened fast . . . “

“From a male standpoint, I just think you’ve got to actually commit. She has to be the right one. If not, you won’t feel enough inside of you to give her everything you’ve got. If she’s the one and you feel it and hear it [from God], commit your mind, body and soul to make it work so you can be the man God wants you to be. That the only way you’ll make it work. People go through things.”

She Say: “I was kind of through with relationships. I didn’t feel like guys were mature enough. What made me gravitate toward Gib was his faith in God, more than anything. He seemed like a loving person. He talked a lot about his grandmother, who had passed away, and the things she instilled in him.”

Chad Ochocinco x Evelyn Lozada

He Say: “She was up-front and honest. I never had that before. I always [say to] people in early conversations, ‘Tell me about yourself.’ They always skip a story and try to come off squeaky clean. They tell me what they think I want to hear. She didn’t send her representative. She told me what she went through. She gave me A, B and C. She said, ‘Take it or leave it.’

She Say: “I didn’t want anyone telling him something about me. He doesn’t judge me on my past or anything I’ve done. He accepts me. The level of conversations I’ve had with Chad, there are some things my girlfriends don’t even know. I’m comfortable with him. If a man is in a high-profile position or just the average Joe Schmoe, women go through the same things, regardless of [his] status. If anything is going to happen, it will, whether he’s playing for the Patriots or working at a bank. No one is perfect. I can’t control him, and he can’t control me.”

The hitmaker details his personal biggest highs and lows in his new autobiography, Le Freak: An Upside Down Story Of Fame, Disco And Destiny.

T.I.’s Welcome Home Party | Stevie Williams Hosts A Party At Da Playground | Southern Hospitality Showcase Atlanta 2011

T.I. was released from the federal penitentiary in Atlanta and sent to the Dismas Charities Atlanta halfway house to finish out the rest of his 14-day probation violation sentence, the rapper’s attorney Steven Sadow confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday.

Prison officials first released the Rubberband Man on Aug. 31 but snatched him back the same day saying he violated rules by associating with VH1 producers and conducting business on his luxury bus ride to the residential facility.

“Hopefully his un-smart ass rode on the back of somebody’s Big Wheel back to the halfway house,” C+D reader Meir posted on our Facebook wall in response to the news that the Kang is an almost free man.

Pachama Party at Tiny’s tonight!

Not even T.I. and his 4-H Club district prized piglet can resist the sweet temptation of filling up on free food and booze — they will even scale a fence Mission Impossible style to get to it.

While making his publicity rounds in support of new film Jumping The Broom (which hits theaters today) actor Laz Alonzo entertained guests at a New York City private dinner with an interesting wedding story revolving around the ratchetness of Mr. and Mrs. Harris:

One of my buddies had a wedding down in Jamaica. I love destination weddings. When I decide to get married one of these days it’s going to be away somewhere people can kick it for a few days before the wedding. We were all a big happy family by the time the wedding happened. On the wedding night the couple went off to do their little honeymoon thing and we decided to have a house party. We had these villas with the music going and a pool party.

All of a sudden we see some hands and some feet crawling over our back wall! The first thing we were thinking was, “We’re in trouble. The Jamaicans are coming to get us.” You’d be surprised at how a lot of these guys that act all hard were looking for the exits. But we noticed that the hands and feet were a lot lighter “complected” than the typical Jamaicans we’ve seen on the island while we were there.

Sure enough when they poked their heads up it was T.I., Tiny his wife and their body guard who climbed over our wall. They were also vacationing at the same resort and they just wanted to join the party.

Now you are T.I. ! Had you knocked on the door and said “Hey Laz we want to party with ya’ll” there was no way in the world I was going to turn down T.I. But the fact that they made their grand entrance we had to give them a round of applause. That was my first time meeting T.I. (source)

Try It Again Queen: High Priestess of Cunt Omarion’s Soft Porn Debut

There aren’t enough black and white flashing images and camera fadeouts in the world to hide Omarion’s terror at being a panty liner’s thickness away from contact with vaginal secretions. I blame Raheem Devaughn for leaving the gate open. “You’re the kind of lady with so much ass.” When K.Ci can outclass you in a song lyric, it’s time to reevaluate your life and your choices.

– E. Jay

He did not say “You’re the kind of lady with so much ass.” And then he have the nerve to do this video at the Best Western. And then he had to go to the Chinese bodega to get the lingerie for that heffa. And then he spent his check on whipped cream. And then random chick pops out of nowhere like it’s normal. KNEE. GROW. PLEASE.

‘Love & Hip Hop’ Star Emily B. On Being Vulnerable In Front of Cameras, John The Man vs. Fabolous The Rapper, and Marriage

If The Pressed Chicks of America had a logo, it would be a picture of this broad holding on to a branch and it would read, “hang in there.”

– Donovan R.

If my rapper boo told me not to listen to the radio that would make me want to listen even more. The fact that he even had to say that shows me they are not on the same page cuz if she was truly okay with her role in the background she wouldn’t even want to do this show.

– Baby D.

The moral of this story is: sharing a rapper is better than not having one at all.

Chris Brown Calls Assault On Rihanna A ‘Mishap’ In New Interview With Page Six Magazine

Christopher Maurice Brown let me say this:

1. You don’t want to look like a damn fool, but yet, you are channeling all of Steven Q. Urkel in this photo.

2. Stop with all these damn tattoos. Remember, you will get old, and those things will look like the aftermath of Raz-B’s sanity.

3. That wasn’t a mishap. A mishap is a typo. A mishap is spilling milk. What happened between you and Rihanna wasn’t a mishap, just like you leaking your naked pictures for publicity wasn’t a mishap. Please, think before you speak most of the time.

NeNe Leakes Sounds Off On Divorce Drama, Being ‘Sabotaged’ By Star Jones, and More

The sad and tired thing about NeNe is that she always have to put someone else down to lift herself up. She has clawed and climbed her way up on the backs of dang near every friend, foe and family member she has. I don’t know who’s left. It will be a pleasure to see RHOA without her loud mouth. I ain’t sorry to see her go at all. She is a disgrace/real life Madea to progressive black women.

– Char_den

Oh NeNe. You think that if you are loud people will think what you are saying makes the most sense or give in to your way of thinking out of intimidation? Ugh. How many more of your fifteen minutes is left?

Tiny Remains Optimistic On T.I.’s Future: “He’s Never Gonna Go Back To Jail. We Can’t Have That.”

What she’s afraid of is that Clifford’s going to convert to Islam while he’s in jail. Then his religion won’t let him nibble on her Piglet backs when he comes out.

– Fact-Free Since 1996

I’ve always known (and so should the rest of the groupies and the world) that T.I. loves Tiny to DEATH. He’s dedicated more than one song to her and he has openly professed his love for this chick. How many other dudes have done that, especially a hood one? Tiny knows her man. We don’t. I think they’ll be fine, because T.I. has proven he’s loved her time and time again, and I am glad they don’t have an open relationship. That shit is for dumb bitches with low self esteem.

– Karla S.

The rumors and speculation are all true — I’m never going to stop using this picture.

Can’t say enough about how special of a woman I have. It takes a lot to endure the worst of times and still stay grounded during the best of times. She’s been able to do so for long as I can remember. For all that and more, I just adore her in every way. I love her spirit, her heart, her integrity and her loyalty. She’s the love of my life and the girl of my dreams. I’ve heard so much about it being hard for true love to exist in the fast lanes of Hollywood, when dudes can’t stay respectfully committed and chicks can’t stay out their man’s pockets. But somehow she makes it easy, and we never had those problems.

When the world has turned on me and there is darkness all around, she finds a way to bring light in my life and provide positive energy in the face of some of the most extreme circumstances. As long as we have us, fuck da world….nothing else really matters. I’d lay my life down for her and wouldn’t blink about it.

In my eyes, she’s the most beautiful woman inside and out. I wouldn’t trade her for all the sun on the beach. As much as I’ve done wrong in life, I’m convinced that I must’ve done something right to deserve a woman as great as her. And I’ll forever do all I can to continue to show my undying love and appreciation.
