Ex-Wolfpack star Lorenzo Charles killed in bus accident! R.I.P

RALEIGH, N.C. — Lorenzo Charles, the muscular forward whose last-second dunk gave underdog North Carolina State a stunning win in the 1983 national college championship game, was killed Monday when a bus he was driving crashed along a highway, a company official said. Elite Coach general manager Brad Jackson said Charles, 47, worked for the company and was driving one of its buses on Interstate 40. No passengers were aboard. He grabbed Dereck Whittenburg's 30-foot shot and dunked it at the buzzer to give the Wolfpack a 54-52 win over heavy favorite Houston and its second national title, sending coach Jim Valvano spilling onto the court, scrambling for someone to hug in what has become one of the lasting images of the NCAA tournament.Whittenburg was despondent when discussing his teammate and friend with The Associated Press."It's just an awful day," Whittenburg said. "An awful, awful day." Charles secured his spot in N.C. State lore in the final moments of that game in Albuquerque, N.M., to cap off an improbable run to the championship. N.C. State entered the NCAA tournament with a 17-10 record, having beaten Virginia to win the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and an automatic berth into the national field. No one expected much. "It's still kind of amazing to me that ... people are still talking about it," Charles said in an excerpt from his comments about the championship game on his N.C. State Web page. "I remember when (it) first happened, I figured I would have my 15 minutes of fame and that would be it. Here we are and it is still a conversational piece. I don't really think that was the only great Final Four finish that has been played since then, but for some reason people just single out that game and talk about it. Maybe because it was such a David and Goliath thing."

NIVEA ARRESTED FOR DUI FOLLOWING WEDDING RECEPTION!

Singer Nivea was arrested for DUI in Atlanta on Saturday (June 18).
The 29-year-old was taken into custody following the wedding of her friend, Antonia "Toya" Carter, who is the ex-wife of Lil Wayne.Bossip.com is reporting that Nivea crashed her BMW X6 into a tree around 1AM Saturday morning, and had a baby in the car with her. Neither she nor the baby were injured in the crash.
Reports also claim that the mother of four got testy with the arresting officer, apparently being belligerent yelling "B---- I could buy your job h-!" She was carted off to Fulton County correctional facility.
However, in a message posted to her Twitter account Monday (June 20), the singer denies the slander against her arresting officer. "Thank You 2 all that were concerned, I'm doing fine! I NEVER said what ppl r saying I said to/about the cop by the way," she wrote. "And one more thing, I WAS NOT DRINKING AND DRIVING, the accident was Not due to me being intoxicated. Just wanted to clear that."
Nivea and Carter both share children with Wayne, who also has two more children with two other women. The Georgia native was once married to the father of three of her children, Terrius "The-Dream" Nash, whom she split from in 2007. Nash went on to marry actress-singer Christina Milian, but announced their split last summer after reports surfaced that he was unfaithful.
The Georgia native became popular with the release of her 2001 single 'Don't Mess With My Man.'

New Song: Drake’s “Marvin’s Room” & Teyana Taylor Covers “Marvin’s Room”

Teyana Taylor has been under the radar lately, but it seems as if she’s attempting to make a huge comeback with her new song. She recently covered Drake’s latest single, “Marvin’s Room” and titled it “Her Room (Marvins Room Remix)”. She put a female spin on the single, and talks about the pain of breaking up with someone when you’re still in love. When asked about the song, Teyana stated, “I Made ‘Her Room’ for the ladies to relate to! Feel it, it’s ok to cry!”

Check out Teyana Taylor’s version of “Marvin’s Room” below.

What do you think? Did she do the song any justice?

CHRIS BROWN SENDS RIHANNA SEXY TWITTER MESSAGE!

Kevin Mazur, WireImage

"You got that pic I sent you?" That's the tweet that is going to be heard 'round the world this week. Chris Brown shot the 140 characters or less over to his ex-girlfriend Rihanna over the weekend, but removed the post -- most likely meant for Direct Message via Twitter -- quicker than you can think of blinking your eye.
Last month, Rihanna fans lit up the Internet disapproving of the 'Loud' singer's decision to follow her abusive ex-boyfriend on Twitter. "Its f---in twitter, not the alter! calm down," Rihanna responded to the backlash. Since then, their public interactions have gone the way of crickets chirping, until this latest flub on Brown's part.
While the message to Rihanna from Brown was removed quickly, fans were still able to snap a photo of the Twitter feed, which showed up on the not-too-trusty site MediaTakeout.com. The question -- "You got that pic I sent you?" -- is pretty ironic too, considering Rihanna and Brown have both had nude photos of them leaked to the 'Net in the past, with many thinking the other was responsible for the unsolicited publicity.
In February, Rihanna had a judge lift the restraining order on Brown that resulted from his 2009 assault on her following a pre-Grammy party. Brown had asked that the order be lifted because it could be a "problem with award shows," where he was not allowed to come within 10 yards at any given ceremony. Both are nominated for several 2011 BET Awards.

Chris Brown Avoids Parking Ticket, Drops Racial and Homophobic Slurs, AGAIN!

Chris Brown has found himself in the midst of controversy yet again, this time after he was threatened with a parking ticket. According to TMZ, C-Breezy had parked his hot set of wheels illegally and was in the process of sweet-talking a female police officer into letting him off easy -- which succeeded.
However, after Chris was cleared by the meter maid, he dropped several racially insensitive and homophobic slurs at the cameramen and accused the present law enforcement of calling the paparazzi.
Reportedly, Brown said, "Y'all n----- is weak. Did you all call them to try and film me? Y'ALL N----- IS GAY."
No word on what exactly Brown was up to, but between breaking windows and dropping gay slurs on camera it seems that getting a parking ticket would've been a better choice. Click over to TMZ to watch the video of his rant.

HI “H8R” – CELEBS CONFRONT HATERS, THIS IZ GONNA B HILARIOUS!

This should be interesting: imagine if you could go and confront your haters. All celebrities complain about the faceless people who hide behind their keyboards, slandering the artists, athletes, actors, etc. who they will never meet. What if the celebrity showed up and confronted you? Starting in September on the CW network, a reality-comedy show called “H8R” hosted by Mario Lopez, will give celebs the opportunity to show up and see if their haters can say it to their face!

Kendall Jenner: 15 Years Old & On the Pill?

The new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians already has some drama. According to the NY Post, a spy on the set said the 15 year old daughter, Kendall, is on birth control pills. Is that a bit young?

Bruce Jenner goes ballistic when he discovers that his 15-year-old daughter, Kendall, is on birth control pills, according to a leak from the set of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.The new season begins next month, after news broke that the most famous Kardashian, Kim, is engaged to (yet another) professional athlete.But the shocking news at the moment is that one of the early episodes captures the dramatic scene when Kim’s stepfather, Bruce, finds his daughter is on the pill, according to reports over the weekend.
WOW, I KNEW THE KARDASHIANS WAS MONEY HUNGRY, AND FAME WHORES BUT NOT TO THIS EXSTINCT. KENDALL KARDASHIAN IS TO YOUNG TO BE DOING HALF NUDE PHOTO SHOOTS AND DEFINTELY TO DAM YOUNG TO BE ON BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.

I SWEAR THESE KARDASHIANS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR FAME, AND KIM CANT LIVE WITHOUT A DICK IN ALL HER ORFICES & A DAM ENGAGEMENT RING ON HER FINGER. SHE MEET MEN, SLEEP WITH THEM THE NEXT DAY AND IS ENGAGED THE NEXT. SLOW DOWN BEF ORE YOUR 40 YEARS OLD AND YOUR WALLS IS TORN DOWN!

Rihanna Gives Female Fan a Lap Dance on Stage!

Rihanna kicked off her Loud tour with a bang in Baltimore on Saturday, offering up a naughty dance, and covering Prince all in the same show.
Taking a page out of her friend Nicki Minaj's book, RiRi treated a lucky fan to a lap dance during the song 'Skin,' off of her 'Loud' album. Decked out in a white leotard, the 23-year-old seductively climbed on top of a female audience member who was lying down on a rotating prop similar to a bed. The red-haired songstress then got cozy beside the fan as they descended below the stage.
The pop star also tried her hand at the Prince song 'Darling Nikki,' for which she donned a black suit while her female dancer moved and grooved at her feet.
Clearly feeling the love, Rihanna took to her Twitter page to give a shout out to the city. "Baltimore is CRUNK!!!!" she wrote.

Since announcing her tour last year, Rihanna was met with rumors that the tour would be canceled due to low ticket sales. A source connected with the concert promotion company Live Nationconfirmed that the tour was on track to sell out all of its 30 dates. Her next stop will be Toronto Monday (June 7) at the Air Canada Centre.

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS A JELLY BELLY: A INTERVIEW WITH TAMAR OF ‘BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES’ & TONI BRAXTON POSES FOR PLAYBOY!

After the last couple of episodes, Tamar and her divalicious, fast talking, nose job loving, obnoxiously loud, and sometimes inappropriateness was in full throttle. So far on the show, she's called out all her sisters for staying with their cheating ass moochin' husbands, her sis Trina for gaining weight, her sis Traci for being a "hoodrat," and Toni for being a scene stealer. And loves to flaunt her money (thanks to her husband Vince) in their faces.

Chick still has this hope of being a superstar to make her own millions, instead of just spending her husband (above) Vince's (manager to Toni and one of the heads of Lady Gaga's career) money. And she made it very clear that she's tired of living in Toni's shadow. And her hubby is her "homie"--and she "doesn't think of him like that" when it comes to making babies. (Yes, she really said that). But according to Tamar--who is hilarious to us--we've got her all wrong. Here's a few excerpts from her recent sit-down with BlackEnterprise.com:

You’ve been candid about feeling like you’re living in Toni ’s shadow and some perceive that as jealousy. What do you say to those critics?

This whole jealousy thing is ridiculous! Toni works really, really hard. I’m proud of her, not jealous of her. I don’t even want to be the same kind of artist. I care about my sisters and I’m so passionate about everything—especially them—so when people see me going off, it’s just my emotions. I want to see them win and be happy. Sometimes I feel like I want to learn from them rather than them learning things from me all the time. I know a lot of things I say are things my sisters don’t want to hear from their youngest sibling, but I say them.

Public perception is that you are in a loveless marriage and that you are only with your producer husband, Vince, for personal gain. What do you say to those naysayers?

Absolutely ridiculous! I find it highly offensive because me and my husband dated each other for seven years, but we’ve only been married for [a little more than] two years. I mean, who’s gonna be with someone just 'cause they got some money and be miserable? I isn't doing that! If I didn’t love my husband for who he is, then why do I want to work and have my own career? That doesn’t even make any sense. Me and Vince are regular. Some days we cool, some days we want to pull each other’s hair out, but that’s real life because [two people] are not going to agree on everything. It also depends on what your definition of love is, it’s different things for different people. Some people think hugging and kissing someone in public all the time is love, but when Vince told me [thatsthetruth.com], it was out of love because he didn’t want me looking crazy, throwing temper tantrums without understanding that there’s an order to things in this business.

What about plastic surgery? You’re an advocate for people having it if they want to. Is there any surgery you haven’t or wouldn’t have done?

I believe in plastic surgery or anything you have to do to make yourself feel good. I’m all about self-esteem. I’ve had my nose done. I was born without cartilage in my nose and when I was 16 I had my first operation—an implant put in my nose. My father had the same surgery. The reason I had it done was because it was hard for me to breathe and I snored terribly. Itwasnotcute.org (laughs). Eventually the implant gave me headaches, so I had to have the cartilage from my ear put in my nose. I have to have it done for a second time, remove the cartilage and remove the implant, but it’s so painful that I’ve been putting it off. But I have to have it done.

HERE IS WHAT TONI BRAXTON WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN SHE POSES FOR PLAYBOY:

VH1 TV SERIES ‘SINGLE LADIES’ DEBUT GETS MIXED REVIEWS……….SPEAKING ON ‘SINGLE LADIES, WATCH BABY GET UPSET ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE A “SINGLE LADY”(VIDEO)

H1's "Single Ladies" is a romantic comedy about three friends (pictured above l-r) Keisha,Val and April played by LisaRaye McCoy, Stacey Dash and Charity Shea. The show airs Mondays at 9 P.M. on VH1. Credit: VH1

Monday night was the premiere of VH1’s “Single Ladies”, the network’s first venture into scripted dramas. The series, co-created by Queen Latifah is about a three females played by LisaRaye McCoy, Stacey Dash and Charity Shea and their personal relationships and careers with the city of Atlanta as its backdrop. The show received chilly reviews from critics who spent more time comparing “Single Ladies” to “Sex & the City”.  The romantic comedy takes place in the glitzy Buckhead area of Atlanta where many of the city’s most influential call home.  But apart from the expensive cars, clothes and lavish shopping sprees, it gets an “A” for effort. It’s a nice drama with characters that people can relate to. “Single Ladies” has real potential to be more than an adult version of "90210". It’s definitely an alternative for those interested in escaping with a fresh drama during the summer TV season. I would say that it’s a mix of “Sex & the City” meets “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” but not too over the top. The first 2-hour episode establishes the close female friendship of Val (Dash), Keisha (McCoy) and April (Shea). Off the bat we see that Val and her guy were on shaky ground. A comment by Keisha’s boyfriend about marriage leaves the couple’s relationship going down in flames. We later find that she was his other woman as he’s already engaged to someone else.

Next April isn’t happy in her seemly perfect marriage. Frustrated at not being able to conceive with her husband, she has an affair with one of the most influential men in Atlanta. Her game of cat and mouse has the potential to blowup in her face. Then there is Keisha, the oldest of the women, she’s a video vixen that been on the Atlanta music scene for a while. In those years she’s made many mistakes, and now some of them are coming back to haunt her. One secret in particular threatens the relationship she's building with the successful Malcolm played by D.B. Woodside. “Single Ladies” airs Mondays at 9 P.M. on VH1, Atlanta Comcast channel 51/851 (Detroit CH:56 9pm) Check your local listings for specific channels and times!

WHAT HAPPENED TO SNOOKS? SNOKKI OF ‘JERSEY SHORE’ SPORTS A NECK BRACE IN ITALY!

It looks like Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi's run in with the law was a little more serious than we thought. Or was it?
Although it seems she may be off the hook for now, the reality star made headlines after colliding with a cop car in Florence yesterday. The incident, which sent two officers to the hospital, sparked rumors of her arrest but the guidette merely had to file an accident report. It has also been reported that the officers' injuries were not serious, and both Snooki and co-star Deena Cortese, who was a passenger at the time of the accident, refused medical treatment.

Then why the neck brace? It seems like this unfortunate incident is going to be a highlight of the fourth season the cast is currently filming for the hit series 'Jersey Shore.' Camera crews were following Snooki around while she walked the streets of Florence with the brace around her neck, before ripping it off in laughter.
Looks like the jokes on us?

Actress Lauren London Reveals Brief Engagement to Lil Wayne!

Lil Wayne may have a new woman in his life, but one of his old flames is speaking up about their relationship.
Actress Lauren London, who shares a son with Wayne, opened up about her relationship with the New Orleans native, which has been speculated about since announcing her pregnancy in 2009. According to London, her son with Wayne was not a result of a one-night stand, despite media speculation, but rather a long relationship and short-lived engagement. "That my son is the result of some kind of one-night stand or groupie encounter with his father," she said in an interview, when asked about the misconception that bothers her most. "I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn't belong to anybody but me."

"I met Dwayne when I was 15 years old. I've known him a very long time, and we were in a relationship that didn't make it," she continued. "We tried more than once to revive it, and we were engaged briefly years ago, but we eventually parted ways. People see the 'Lil' Wayne' persona and think they know who he really is. My son's father is an intelligent, loving and lovable person who will always be a dear friend. That is all." London also explained that her relationship with the three other women who also have children by Wayne is harmonious and has grown out of the best interest of the children. In total, Wayne, 28, is father to four: three boys and one girl, Reginae, who appears on the BET reality show 'Toya: A Family Affair,' alongside her mother Antonia Carter. For the most part, the Grammy winner keeps mum on his relationships with his children's mothers but has since moved on with a new love interest, a restaurant host by the name of Dhea.
The two have been spotted out and about in Miami on a few occasions but have yet to publicly announce their relationship.
