Jay Z And Beyonce In The Kitchen Cookin Up An Album?

Over the past few weeks Jay Z and Beyonce have been spotted at recording studios in and around Paris and insiders are whispering that the couple are using their new album to publicly air their differences.

 

Earlier this month it was revealed that Jay Z and Beyonce were working on their first joint album and apparently hip hop’s most powerful couple are planning to use the project as one big therapy session.

Sources tell Britain’s Grazia magazine:

”The horrible time they’ve had this past year will be documented in every lyric to every single song.”

”It’s going to be the most raw and honest thing they’ve ever done because they’re determined to tell ‘their own truth’. They want to show the world how they see it, from the inside, and in their own words….”

…or this could be a Jedi mind trick.

No Worries: French Montana Finalizes Divorce, Set To Pay Ex-Wife $2 Million Settlement

Freedom did not come cheaply for French, who ultimately will have to pay a $2 million divorce settlement to walk away from his marriage with Nadeen Kharbouch.

 

French Montana, 29, is officially a single man. The rapper has recently ended not one but two relationships in his life. First his break up from Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, Khloe Kardashian and now he and his estranged wife, Dean Kharbouch are over. HollywoodLife.com is the first to report that they settled on Sept. 29 and although it’s done deal, it was totally “amicable.

Although they were living separately and dating other people, they were never able to go through the legal process of officially divorcing because of French’s busy schedule.
A source tells HollywoodLife.com that French and Dean “wrapped up the divorce peacefully.”

“He was in court on Monday and basically they wrapped up his divorce peacefully,” a source tells us. “They had been together for a long time and they were with each other when neither had money, they had so much in common. They settled peacefully in court in New Jersey … it’s all wrapped up.”

Our insider goes on to tell us that settlement was upwards of $2 million dollars — whoa!
“He will have to pay her a large chunk of his fortune but come on they had a son together while married too.”

Our insider also tells us that he and Khloe are on “good terms” and still “buds.”
 

  Take a look at what French is walking away from, his ex-wife Deen flossin’ her bikini body!

Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg (Friend Of Amber Rose) Claims Wiz Was Cheating With Twins (Video)

The Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa breakup gets messier by the minute. It was just last week that Amber Rose filed for divorce while leaving fans of the couple feeling blindsided. Especially, when she was promoting Wiz’s album, and the couple shared loving photos of each other just weeks prior.

 

 

Yesterday morning, Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97 took to the airwaves to defend Amber, and dropped some bombshells as he gave the real tea behind why Amber and Wiz broke up. According to his story, (which seems to be Amber’s side), Amber and Wiz have been having problems for a long time but things came to a head for her after she walked in on him in bed with twins.

He explained:

There’s a complicated situation between Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. I am very close with Amber and my wife is very close with Amber, great relationship with Amber. I like Wiz, always have and believe Wiz to be a good person, so I just want to be clear about that. Now with that being said, when you’re friends with someone that’s a wonderful person and I say that with knowledge, real intimate knowledge that she is a wonderful person. I’m not suggesting that Wiz Khalifa is lying , because I don’t think he’s honestly the kind of guy that goes calling websites, but I will say that some of these trash-filth websites like Media Takeout that don’t care about anyone’s feelings in life, the scum of the earth are reporting things that are not necessarily true. Not just them, TMZ are reporting things that are not true.

So a few things, number one, this thing that their marriage has been over ….because now it’s been confirmed that Wiz cheated. That’s a known thing and I don’t think anyone is denying that, she caught him cheating, we all know that.

When she was here last week, that’s how I got in trouble because she was here all night talking to my wife about her problems. She was going through it, real talk. With that said, they’re married; they have a child so Amber who is incredibly faithful [...] you know this is a woman who is not out trying to be reckless and never was ever, that’s just not who she is. This whole conversation about “Oh, they were broken up a long time ago” that’s not true, they had problems a long time ago. I believe from my relationship with Amber she knew they had problems, she knew he wasn’t happy and she wasn’t happy either but she was also like, he’s touring, he’s going through a lot and at some point we’re going to get to work on this again, it’s a marriage.

New Details In The Khalifas Split: Wiz Moved Out Weeks Ago, Amber Caught Him W/ Another Woman

The latest story out of Wiz Khalifa’s camp is that he didn’t want to be with Amber anymore so he moved out. Wiz Khalifa left Amber Rose weeks before she filed for divorce … and the trigger that sent Amber’s lawyer running to the courthouse was an uninvited 2 AM house call by Amber.

 

Sources connected with Wiz tell TMZ … the rapper is telling friends there’s a simple reason why he left … “I just didn’t want to be married to her anymore.”

We’re told Wiz moved out and got his own place, and the day before Amber filed, she went to his house at 2 AM and found him with another woman … and went nuts.
As far as Wiz is concerned … he wasn’t cheating. He told friends he made it clear weeks earlier the marriage was over.

It’s interesting … even though Wiz moved out weeks before … he listed the legal date of separation on his divorce response as Sept. 22 — last Monday.

We’re told Wiz is also convinced … Amber was secretly banging Nick Cannon — something they both deny.

Columbus Short Calls Out TMZ For Ruining His Career And Destroying His Family (Video)

In a recent interview with Dish Nation, embattled former ‘Scandal’ actor Columbus Short called out gossip tabloid TMZ.com for ruining his career and destroying his family.

 

“My character has been assassinated, unjustly,” Short told Dish Nation.

“I feel like, [gay TMZ founder] Harvey Levin got the proverbial hard-on for me or something because he was attacking me for no reason. What I found out, you know how it goes, these stories get money… TMZ is making all that money, but it’s blood money to me. I really believe it, because you’re destroying people’s families.”

Short was arrested in February for allegedly beating his estranged wife, Tanee McCall. TMZ had a field day writing stories about Short’s legal problems and his issues with McCall, whom he says dished dirt about him to TMZ.

“My ex tended to believe that the police department were like her security guards or something,” Short said.

Short addressed his defense of Ray Rice whose NFL career is in doubt after TMZ published video footage of him punching out his wife in a casino elevator.

“My first Instagram I said, I stand by Ray Rice. I said what he did was absolutely wrong. However, what TMZ… the point is TMZ. I have a lot against TMZ. We are fallible.  

Men, we are fallible creatures, mankind. And I think everybody deserves a second chance, everybody deserves a chance to get it right,” Short told Dish Nation.

“TMZ being the judge and jury and the executioner of somebody’s career is ridiculous to me,” he said.

Oh For Real?: Bow Wow Says Engagement To Erica Mena Is No Publicity Stunt

Shad Moss wants everyone to know his engagement to Love & Hip Hop reality star Erica Mena is 100% real. While filming episodes for his role on the new CSI: Cyber series, the rapper called into 106 & Park to talk to co-host Keisha Chante about the rumors circulating around him and his fiance.

Shad states he would never get hitched for the sake of publicity.

“I think what a lot of people don’t realize is me and Erica, we been knowing each other for years,” he said. “If you pay attention, she’s in my “Fresh Azimiz” video. She’s the girl right in front of me. I been knowing her since then. And like I said, she was suppose to do [the movie] Lottery Ticket. But it’s far from a publicity stunt. I’ve never been the type of person to do anything for publicity. I don’t need it. I’m on TV everyday. How much more publicity do I need? I did this out of my heart, I did this out of love. It’s time for me to sit my a** down! I’m out the game!”

The rapper didn’t explain how the engagement happened, but with Love & Hip Hop: New York premiering in November, Bow Wow’s proposal might be on the show.
“Um, y’all gotta wait for that,” he said. “I’m not gonna let that one out of the bag, y’all gotta wait for that. I know it’s what our fans want to know but they’ll get that in due time.

I know a lot of people doubting and hating. Got their timers up. This ain’t your regular, typical thing that’s going on. This real. This is [going to] be around for a long time.”

Amber Rose Files For Divorce From Wiz Khalifa/Nick Cannon: “I Didn’t Cause Amber Rose’s Divorce”

Amber Rose has filed for divorce from husband-of-1-year Wiz Khalifa … and she’s gunning for full custody of their kid … TMZ has learned. In the divorce docs — obtained by TMZ — Amber says they split on Monday and cites irreconcilable differences.

Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody of their 1-year-old son Sebastian. She’s willing to give Wiz visitation.  

And this is interesting. Amber acknowledges there’s a prenup, which you would think would work in Wiz’ favor, but she says it’s valid … presumably, she’s not challenging it. The docs say the prenup provides spousal support.

As for why they split, there’s been a buzz over the last few days of infidelity, but there’s no mention of it in the papers.

We got video (below) of Amber with some guy Tuesday in Bev Hills. Our photog asks her if Wiz is keeping a close eye on Nick Cannon — there are rumors they’ve hooked up, but she’s mum.

Sources connected with the couple say the split is bitter.
 

 Nick Cannon’s name is being tossed around as a trigger for Amber Rose’s divorce from Wiz Khalifa … but Nick is telling people that just isn’t the case.

 Sources close to Nick tell TMZ … Nick and Amber — who just recently got into business together — have kept things strictly professional. Nick insists … NOTHING happened in the cheating department.

Nick claims he only learned about Amber’s domestic problems through her lawyers last week when he signed her on as a client. That’s when Nick says he found out her marriage was on the rocks and only then did the two share break-up stories.

Multiple sources tell TMZ … Wiz and Amber are each accusing the other of cheating.

K. Michelle Exposes Soulja Boy & Transexual Sydney Starr Hook-Up?

Last night K. Michelle and Soulja Boy got into a knock down drag out Twitter fight where K accused Soulja of sleeping with well known celebrity transexual Sydney Starr. It went down hill from there.

 

We thought K was just talking trash until Sydney turned around and posted a picture of herself with Soulja Boy online…

It all started last week when K. Michelle went on the Breakfast club and blasted Soulja Boy for implying that he’d slept with her before.

Soulja Boy waited until last night to exact his revenge.

Watch: Young Thug On Gay Rumors, Why He Calls Men “Bae” & “Lover” (Video)

The stars were out this weekend in Atlanta for the BET Hip Hop Awards, and Bossip had the chance to catch up with one of the hottest rappers in the game, Young Thug, on the green carpet.

 

Thugger was asked point blank what he means when he calls other men like Birdman or Rich Homie Quan names like “hubby,” “bae,” “lover,” etc. His response? It’s just a part of their lingo. 

“It’s the language. It’s nothing stupid and fruity going on. It’s the way we talk, it’s the way we live. Those are my baes, those are my lovers, my hubbies, whatever you want to call them.”

When asked if calling men these affectionate names on social media is a strategic business move to attract attention & publicity, Thug says he can’t say yes or no to that.
Young thug also denies that his threatening remarks on Instagram last week were not aimed at Kevin Gates, though he didn’t say exactly who they were aimed at either.



 

 

 

 

Why is he scratching like that? I'll wait.
