We've got the latest round-up of celebs who let us into a little piece of their own world...straight from the horse's mouth.  And there's a plank takeover in black Hollywood.  We still don't get what all the hype is about with this phenomenon.  But pics inside...

Lebron James and his girlfriend Savanah tweeted a pic of their backstage meeting with Bono at the U2 concert this week.  Cute!

Trina sparked pregnancy rumors when she hit up "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed's birthday party the other night.  And she shot those rumors ALL THE WAY downSidenote: When and how did they become friends? I guess Miami is a small small world.  Interesting...

Erykah Badu has taken up a "natural birthing assistant" position and is earning to help other mothers deliver babies at home.

She tweeted about her latest who she just helped birth yesterday--after a 45 hour natural birth labor:

WOW!

Paris Jackson kicked it with her long-time family friend Kathy Hilton and her aunt La Toya during MJ's anniversary of his death weekend.

Tisha Cambpell-Martin showed off the beautiful set of her new show "The Protector."

A fan went nuts after spotted Lil Kim on the streets of NYC--and she wanted the world to know.

 

And the planking phenom has hit Black Hollywood.  Everybody's laying face down in the most interesting places they can find in order to partake in the hype.  We don't get it.  But here's the pics:

Usher's kids Usher V and Navyid hit the piano.

 

Dwight Howard planked with his homies at the arcade and at Waffle House.

Diamond wanted to be the first female rapper to plank:

 

Alrighty then...

sooooo, slaves on slave ships

sooooo, slaves on slave ships were brought over to america not LYING on their stomachs (idiots for those many hours & days they would not have MADE it to America!) They were simply on their backs. If that means anything to you BAND WAGON JUMPERS who never even cared about the quote on quote of "planking" to believe it is racist, think abt that! I am a black professor & historian who can honestly & INTELLIGENTLY say, Planking has nothing to do with being racist or slavery. Please do your research on your own accord when something POPULAR does not hit the waves! You all who are against are yourselves, hiprocrits, because you are jumping on the band wagon of people saying, "visit this site, read your history, BLACK PEOPLE STOP IT, Black people look like idiots" you too, are, get wits! Usher's children are black, I dare you to tell him his own kids look stupid doing it. Go ahead, tell him! Better yet, just be quiet & stop showing your opinion on website comments. That's just my opinion lol. Thanx! --Dr. C. Taylor

l love the hide behind

l love the hide behind message boards, social networks and comments to be racists. I love how you think you understand black culture because you are friends with a few. By the way all black people do not call each other niggers. You should be able to see why this would be a concern considering slave ships had plank boards and used plank collars. http://gme-ada.grolier.com/page?tn=/article/mediaback.html&slp_id=ht01&u... Honestly you do what you like. If lying on your stomach looks fun and taking pics go for it. Sounds like soooo much fun. Damn people jump on any trend soon as they see its cool.

UUUMMMM..... I can promise

UUUMMMM..... I can promise you that Chris' next album will not sell.... I'm slowly waking my friends up to the fact that he never puts dark skin girls in his videos. The more they are noticing the more they say they're not going to support his music anymore. I plan on taking this to another level and creating a website

Slavery ? Planking ??????

Slavery ? Planking ?????? Really ? If slave who actually came to the Us on a ship actually got wind of these comments-they would probably want to murder you morons. Slaves were lying in their own filth and chained. SOunds nothing like planking to me. Planking was "created" YEARS ago overseas. As usual, once a "hot" thing hits the states, it is already OLD. Black people call each other Niggers anyway. noones getting heated about that. That word was created because the monsters who handled slaves did not think or believe that the slaves they "handled" wer human beings. Therefore, to them, we did not deserve names. So, originally, they referred to us as a color or the color they decided we were -NEGRO -Black in spanish. Once the English got a hold of the Spanish word Negro, it became nigger because they could not prounounce the spanish word and didnt even want to pronounce it. the word then warped itself into even more of a derogatory term. Again, let me restate--it is a word that implies that we are not human and below animals -even animals are named--and therefore, not deserving to be named. they thought that EVERY black person was a nigger. So why then have Black people gone to war with each other over the RIGHT !!!??? to use this DISGUSTING word to refer to other Black people ? Isnt that ironic ? that there are people who think that we should exclusively use this word to refer to each other . Really ? Seems like the slave owners won. And yet -here we are being offended by PLANKING. FUNNY...

Celebrities or anyone else is

Celebrities or anyone else is under no such obligation to picka nd choose to be with a black woman. Love has no color. Let it go , sis. lol. Peopel kill me with that. these guys are with who they want to be with irregardless of color. Black women are the only ones holding on to some BS that says black has to be with black . these men are the minority anyway. IF you pay attention, you will realize that media focuses on BS such as athletes with sig others who are ot black. In real life, it is not the norm and besides--WHO CARES. Love has no bounds.We wil soon all be brown anyway.

If it looks like a dog,

If it looks like a dog, smells, like a dog, it's a dog right? If it walks like a spider, looks like a spider, it's a spider right?!?! Well this planking bullshit LOOKS JUST LIKE the method of shipping slaves; so it must be what it is. Black people will do any stupid shit that they think is "in". Self destructive. SMH. And for some to attempt to justify this as "having fun" or "just a joke" is beyond me. If I hold up a middle finger at you, I meant to say fuck you. It is what it is. Black people will deny shit that is right in front of them; whether it's "planking", cheating relationships, or whatever! It's always justifiable. But you believe in shit you CAN'T PROVE!!! Have a good day. I'm done.

It is a sad day indeed when

It is a sad day indeed when we eqaute something as TRIVIAL as planking with being chaines and bound crossing the ocean in the bowels of a ship as a SLAVE. The stupidity of a lot of us Black people leaves me constantly flabbergasted . I live in a city where as of yesterday , there were 200 people murdered. Where being a "snitch" will have you murdered by a friend . Where being "disrespected" wil get you or your family shot . Where your little brother will be stabbed 272 times and, of course, killed becasue 2 years before , a gang member told you he didnt like your ringtone on your cell phone and you told him to shut up and he vowed to kill someone close to you to make up for it since he couldnt get to you. These are Wanna make a difference ? Tecah Black childrenabout slavery BUT teach them that we got through slavery and we got through Jim Crow and we deserve to be respected. By other races and , more importantly , by our own. If we do not respect ourselves, others wont. Constantly referring to slavery as if it happened yesterday will hold us back from ever accomplishing anything as people of African descent in the US. We are Americans and need to claim it. Blacks basically BUILT the US. From the ground up. when we go to Africa, they dont claim us, respect us or even like us. They call us Americans. We need to move forward. Every citizen that claims the US is an immigrant. Maybe not by force but for some it was a necessity. I did not grow up with ex-slaves, don't know any, can't recall any going back in my immediate family and am pretty sure there s noone in the US who can claim that either. So, since we were not touched by slavery, all we need to do is ensure it never happens again. Let'smove forward. "they" don't owe us anything. WE owe ourselves a LOT.
