Aubrey O'Day. You look a mess. Calling Lil Kim's plastic surgeon was not a good look. Neither is your trying to stay relevant. It does give us a few laughs and shivers though.
CHECK IT!

Rihanna is in Paris for the Fashion Week shows. She popped up on the Front Row of the Gareth Pugh show tonight rocking this sheer paneled Gareth Pugh dress:
Complete with purple vampy gloss and nude boyshorts. You feelin’ it?
And by the way, we’re still not buying this.
In other news, Solange and Chris Rock were on “The Oprah Show” today pubbing Chris’ new movie Good Hair:
Solange talked about why she shaved her head and being a slave to the black women’s hair culture. Here’s her segment and an outtake that wasn’t shown on tv.

Serena Williams was spotted looking glam hitting up a doctor’s appointment ion Beverly Hills today. There’s something super cute about this little dress of hers…
Elsewhere in the Hills, NeNe had lunch with a friend today. Is this chick trying to become an OC Housewife or something? She’s been in LA for several weeks now…
And over in Glasgow, Scotland, the YBF chicks hit the red carpet of the MOBO Awards tonight:

What in the swagger jacking hell? There’s another reality show coming to Atlanta! It’s about 4 black women (plus a white woman) and a black guy/girlfriend who’s in the mix (pictured on the end). Sound familiar? They had a pre-production party last night in Atlanta. Crazy enough, we hear it’s being shopped to Bravo and is tentatively called “Real Women of Atlanta”. Here’s pics and a short snippet about each “cast member”:
The show is about women–Jamilah, Regina, Nicole, Cade, and Krista–who do not live off of men or wealthy boyfriends and make money for themselves. The show starts taping this fall with anticipated Spring 2010 air date. This is a mess…

Check out ya boy Weezy talking about his craziest groupie/tale. And it involves denying groupies his peen and them shooting up his tour bus.
Diddy has officially announced he’s moving Bad Boy to Interscope. Check the vid of him chillin’ with Interscope head Jimmy Iovine the other day. And Diddy’s explanation of his move:
“I had started some previous business relationships with Jimmy Iovine. We had a great chemistry with each other. When I sat down with Julie [Greenwald, Atlantic COO] and told them that I had an interest to go sign with Jimmy and they didn’t make it rough for me. Lyor [Cohen, WMG Chairman] and Julie were nice enough to let me get my [Bad Boy] name. I was able to take the name over to Interscope and to still in stay in business with them. I am not abandoning any of my artists over there, I still have that imprint. But all my future recordings, including my recording contract, that will be at Interscope Records.”
According to Combs, the new Bad Boy label with Interscope will operate like a small boutique label, with an emphasis on signing unique talent.
“We are going to take our time with the amount of acts that we sign,” Combs stated, adding that the label will cater to “superstars.” We want to find those very unique artists. We want to build something very special that’s not already out there.”

Last night Chilli hit up a black-tie event at Charles Mathis’ Atlanta home last night. Despite having boxing champ Floyd Mayweather on her arm for the event–and reportedly was calling him “Baby” in front of folks–the two are not a new couple like gossip reports are saying.
We reached out to Floyd’s camp to get the real scoop. We’re told that their pics and behavior last night was purely all for show. Chilli’s upcoming reality dating show to be exact. Floyd and possibly last night’s event will all be a part of an upcoming episode.
A member of Floyd’s camp confirmed to us that he’s not married. And Chilli is allegedly single (even though we still don’t know what happened with Larry Johnson). But the two are indeed not a couple and we’ll be able to see what transpires exactly when her show debuts.

First Lady Michelle O. looked fab in black and white while arriving into Copenhagen yesterday. She’s there to lobby the World Olympics organization to nominate Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Rio is in the lead reportedly. But with a push from Mrs. O and Oprah, who also arrived there yesterday, it could be in the US. Nice.
Mattel® announced yesterday the launch of So In Style™, a new line of black dolls by Barbie® featuring more authentic-looking facial features such as fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinctive cheek bones and curlier hair. Many folks are up in arms calling it overly stereotypical and isn’t good for little black girls’ psyche. Here’s a snippet from the press release:
So In Style™ (S.I.S.™) was developed and inspired by Barbie® designer of 12 years, Stacey McBride-Irby, an African-American mother of two who wanted to create a line of dolls more reflective of her daughter and community.
The So In Style™ line features Grace™, Kara™ and Trichelle™ dolls, three best friends who are all about fashion, fun and friendship. Each of the dolls features its own unique personality and style and reflects one of three varying skin tones. The S.I.S.™ line also introduces a mentoring theme; each doll is accompanied by a smaller doll or “little sister” and has different interests – from music and math to science and drill team. The big and little sister dolls are meant to introduce and inspire girls with mentoring themes.

If you thought Kanye was a changed man, think again. He was wildin’ out at Common’s benefit concert he performed at several days ago at the Hollywood Palladium. All over some chicken. Here’s what VIBE had to say about the incident:
The rapper was allegedly upset over his not being offered food while in the dressing room backstage. After spotting a man eating chicken, West blurted, “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating… why am I not eating?”
When the waitress explained that he never asked for food, ‘Ye yelled, “Well, I’m asking now!”. After receiving chicken, he allegedly proceeded to take a bite and then throw the rest in the trash. Meanwhile, the rapper’s beau Amber Rose, stood silent, while other celebrities backstage watched in awe.
What you said? He aint no diva??
Here’s more pics of Rihanna and her BFF Melissa chillin around Venice right before they jetted off to Paris yesterday:
Don’t know if this is a photoshoot, candids, or both. Looks like fun either way.
