Drama

Looks like Lil Flip is having some drama in his life. The following is a letter written by his ex-girlfriend.

"Wesley Weston aka Lil Flip and I have a 4 year old son together. I am not one of those fame hungry women that puts all of their business out there for attention, but I feel that I have been pushed to the limit by this man, and I want people to know the real “Lil Flip”. LilFlip and I were together for about 6 and a half years. When we first started dating I had a 2 year old daughter that he raised as his own (she called him daddy and everything), because her real father has never been in her life. Well back in January of 2009 I decided to end our very volatile relationship due to personal reasons that I’d rather not discuss. So now, jumping forward to December of 09, he has only talked to my children maybe 5 times this year, and thats because I’ve called him! They missed their daddy, and he never calls! He didn’t even call on Christmas nor did he get his ONLY son anything! He did not get his son anything for his birthday in June, and didn’t call him either. No call onThanksgiving as well. So yesterday on Christmas, around 8pm at night he sends me a text message that said “Wow it’s 8 o’clock and you still haven’t had my son call me, great mothering skills” then went on to say that I was ungrateful, and money hungry, because I had previously asked him for a little extra money on top of the little $500 he pays a month for child support to do some Christmas shopping.

He sent me $150 through western union THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS knowing his son needed winter cloths and shoes!!! (I have the Western Union receipt with the date and child support paper work if you’d like me to send you all a copy). And as if that weren’t bad enough, this pompous a**hole sent my 9 year old daughter (who she refers to as daddy) a text message that said and I quote “By the way Im not your real dad, just so you’ll know the truth!” on Christmas night! So I feel I have no choice but to put his sorry a** on blast. My daughter did not deserve that, and she was so confused and upset after reading that. And I don’t allow anyone to hurt my children, not even Lil Flip. So after posting what happened on my twitter page last night, I have decided to contact you guys at bossip. I really don’t want to exploit my children, but I want people to know how arrogant and evil this man is. So I really hope you guys decide to post this. Because he basically ruined my daughters Christmas, and I am beyond pissed!"

So...What happened?

Mary J. Blige wants to damp down the drama over that fight at her record release party Tuesday night. Contrary to claims that the hip-hop diva punched her husband, Kendu Isaacs, at a Chelsea club, Blige tells the Daily News she was simply trying to stop a brawl between Isaacs and her brother.

"Mary was not fighting with her husband," said Blige spokeswoman Karynne Tencer. "Her husband and her brother got into an altercation that turned into a fight. Mary went to break up the fight." Tencer didn't immediately know the name of Blige's brother or the reason for the row. Club security helped the Grammy Award winner pull the men apart, who also disputed reports that Isaacs' lip was bleeding. "Nobody was bleeding," Tencer said. Blige also denied she angrily compared Isaacs with notorious R&B star Chris Brown, who belted girlfriend Rihanna in February. "She never mentioned Chris Brown," Tencer said. "Mary and Kendu went home together." Blige had hoped the public wouldn't hear about the ugly scene at M2 Ultralounge, where she was celebrating her new album, "Stronger with Each Tear." But after sources claimed she had smacked Isaacs because he was supposedly flirting with a waitress, Blige decided to set the record straight, Tencer said. The publicist said the couple is celebrating Christmas with their three children on the East Coast. "They're as happy as can be," Tencer said.

Blind Item

This very attractive and popular female model and sometime reality star thought she had the funniest joke the other night. While at a Christmas event/party she kept saying, "Oh it will be a White Christmas." She then would do a bump of coke off her hand. All night she followed the same pattern until finally at one point the whole table she was at said it before she could. She then laughed and did another line.

Wedding Bells

What's this we hear about Diddy getting ready to marry his bottom woman Kim Porter.

After all these years....Diddy supposedly has said this Tiger drama has forced him to evaluate himself. *Blank Stare* Who's checking for you boo?

Anywhoo, word is that Cassie is "A-OK", has moved, and has her eyes on a baller. And something you may not have heard. That "infamous" edgy haircut was intentional but not on Cassie's party.

Apparently, in one of Diddy's rants, he cut her hair. She was then forced to shave it just to save face.

Another Twitter Rant

Apparently, The Dream is being blamed for the flop of Mariah Carey's album. And he did what we love!! He went on a Twitter Rant.

Ready. Set. Go!

Home For the Holidays

 Earlier, this week, TI was released from prison in Arkansas.

For the next three months, he will be living in a halfway house in Atlanta.

You still da kang baby!

*Sighs*

Tiny's nail bar is also open for business.

In other Grand Hustle news,  B.G. announced that his new “Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood” album will be the last he’ll do through T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records.

The Hot Boys member says he is now looking for a new label. In a recent interview B.G. stated to HipHopWired, “I’m gonna be a free agent.” The rapper continued, “I’m going to sit down with the people closest to me, like my manager and lawyers and see what route to take.” The rapper says, “Grand Hustle, no that’s all over with.” T.I. was the executive producer of the project with B.G. when it was on Atlantic Records.After the situation with T.I. and the Hip Hop awards, B.G. says, “They kind of froze up on me, kept pushin the album back. This was pre-recession. Once I felt like they were playing with me, I stopped calling, got back doing what I was doing, creating another opportunity.” Speculation of the rapper possibly going back to his old label  (Cash Money)was also brought up with B.G. practically summing the possibility of that up in one statement, “If the numbers right, if it makes sense.”

Rest In Peace

The body of Brittany Murphy has arrived at Forrest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills earlier today, TMZ reports. The funeral for the actress, who died at age 32 Sunday, was held today and was "strictly private," says E! News. So far, no public memorial has been announced.

There is a lot of speculation surrounding Brittany's death, however, because of the circumstances, we should focus on some of her best work in 8 Mile, Clueless, and Uptown Girls. Brittany was also a talented singer.

Celebrate A Birthday In Style

In celebration of British department store Selfridges’ 100th birthday, renowned houses and designers are designing specials items in Selfridges’ iconic yellow color. Louis Vuitton also wanted to be part of the celebration, so they have created a mini version of their legendary trunk.

The special, customized made-to-order Birthday Cake Trunk has been designed especially for transporting a birthday cake. Handmade in Louis Vuitton’s Asnieres factory, the exterior of the cake trunk features the very famous brown on tan Louis Vuitton logo. The trunk offers space for a set of four dessert forks, four dessert spoons and a cake server. The Birthday Cake Trunk can be seen in the Personal Shopping section.

Merry Christmas!

Diamonds and Ice Cream would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!

Be safe and enjoy!

Sneak Peek

A picture surfaced last week from a video shoot with Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj

Wonder what song this is for?

In other Nicki Minaj news:

She has Jay-Z to thank for her guest spot on Robin Thicke's new single "Shakin It For Daddy" because the hip-hop mogul thought she would be perfect for the song.

Thicke explains, "It's a crazy story. I was in the studio playing the album to Jay-Z, trying to get him on the album. So we're playing the record and I put on Shakin' It For Daddy and he goes, 'You know who you need to put on Shakin' It For Daddy? It's Nicki Minaj.' So it was Jay's idea to put her on the record."


Also, pick up your copy of "We Are Young Money" in stores now.

Video Premiere: Forever Young by Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson

By far one of my favorite songs on the BP3. Enjoy!

Speaking of the Carter/Knowles, family, Tina Knowles filed for divorce last week from Matthew.

Congrats!

Congratulations to Kourtney Kardashian!

Mason Dash Disick was born today in Los Angeles, California, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and measuring 19.5 inches long. This is the first child for Kardashian, 30, and her boyfriend, Scott Disick, 26.

Kourtney was the MOST stylish mommy to be. Check out some of her photos:

Ladies this proves that just because you are with child doesn't mean you have to walk around looking a hot mess.

Also the picture of the pacifier is actually a diamond-encrusted binky ($17,000). Modeled after a real binky, the 14k creation has a hinged handle and silicon nipple but the company (Persoalized Pacifiers) advises consumers that it is a replica and not meant for actual use.

The knob of the pacifier is set with 278 pave diamonds, totaling over 3 carats. Of course if you are willing to spend this amount, this pacifier can be personalized for you with your choice of colored stones, and an initial or a design.

'Tis the Season!

Hope you guys are finished with your Christmas shopping!

 If not, here are some great ideas for your high maintenance friends and family:

The French children’s fragrance specialist, Koto Parfums, has released the Diamond Edition in its Hello Kitty fragrance line to seduce the young population and collectors alike.

Described as a trendy fragrance with seductive notes, the perfume offers a floral composition with top notes of freesia, bergamot, grapefruit and margarita. A heart of this composition incorporates jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and violet, while a base finishes with musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla. The seductive fragrance comes encased in a precious sparkling crystal bottle carved in the shape of Hello Kitty, which is why it will appeal to Hello Kitty collectors equally.

Even with its skyrocketing prices, mellow yellow gold continues to inspire designers to fabricate products for “made of money” people. Korean designer Daisung Kim has hand-crafted a “24K pencil,” whose surface is carefully plated with a thin layer of 99 percent pure gold.

After being fined by the South Korean tax authorities for about $154 million for illegal dealings with unlicensed wholesalers in 2007, Diageo, the world’s biggest drinks group, has set the price of South Korea’s most expensive whisky, "Windsor Diamond Jubilee."

Priced at  $257,870 per bottle, the brand has launched into the global market. With the help of its Britain-based parent company, Diageo Korea produced 12 bottles in Scotland. There, each 700-milliliter bottle of the Windsor Diamond Jubilee contains 17.5 servings, worth over $14,000 each.

Twit War **Update

Apparently, Chris Brown continued his tirade against the music industry and retailers. He alledgedly stalked a local Wal-Mart only to find that his CD was not on the shelves.

 Here is a statement issue by Sam Walton's company:

"We are surprised at the comments online. All Walmart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available."

We guess that Chris' people talked to him or maybe he was paid a "visit" because on Monday afternoon Chris sent his last twitter in which he thanked his fans.

His account then was deleted.

Party for A Cause

If you are a resident or will be in the ATL next weekend, come out and party for a cause!

Twit War

Lately, I have become fond of Twitter. It's like a "lifesize" MSN messenger. It's fun and entertaining. But sometimes it can get serious. Thursday and Friday were some "hot" days.

Apparently Chris Brown was upset about being blackballed in the industry. He accused retailers of not stocking his album.

He went on to say:

"WTF... yeah i said it and i aint retracting s**t "

"im not biting my tongue about sh*t else... the industry can kiss my a**"

Did he ever think that MAYBE just MAYBE it wasn't his best work? Or all of his fans are now fans of Brrrr...GUCCI!

Boy Stop.

And Swizz Beatz who is currently separated from his wife Mashonda, decided to promote his new love's album (Alicia Keys). Mashonda took all she could take. Ha!

Inking A Deal?

After a few intimate shows at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas over the summer, Beyoncé is in preliminary negotiations to return to the hotel where she filmed her concert DVD I Am… Yours. An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas.

Wynn Resorts spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne says there’s no deal yet, despite rumors of a lucrative, long-term agreement of $300 million. There is also a rumor that Mr. and Mrs. Carter are in Las Vegas as we speak searching for homes. We will keep you posted.

Pushed Back

Usher’s album was supposed to drop later this month, but the word has come that his fans won’t be able to partake of Raymond V Raymond until March 1, 2010.

FOLLOW-UP:

In other music news, Pleasure P. ended his tour with R. Kelly in order to defend himself of the child molestation allegations. 

This morning, he appeared on the Rickey Smiley show and also appeared on Power 105.  It appears that he was framed and IMO, all the fingers point to his fomer band mates. Check out the video (there are three parts) below:

Victoria's Best Kept Secret

Ok, how much do we love lov love Victoria Beckham?

The above picture captures her and her sons on a dinner outing last week.

Victoria recently let her Giorgio Armani contract expire so that she could focus more on her beauty and fashion lines; she showed her Victoria Beckham Collection — which Roland Mouret has assisted her with in the past — at New York Fashion Week in the summer for Spring 2010, and she also released a short film featuring her Fall 2009 collection (with Mouret's sharply tailored handiwork visible) online.

Check it Out Below!

This is her second foray into the fashion promo film arena — her first effort, for Spring 2009, came out at the end of last year. The new short, "Swings," features eight models, perched on rope swings, moving in unison — plus a cameo by Beckham — and was filmed in a single take in London. Matt Jerrett directed and Beckham's (and Mouret's) backer, 19 Entertainment, produced. The film had its debut on BergdorfGoodman.com, to promote Beckham's appearance at the New York store during Fashion's Night Out in September.

And I guess they were so fab, because some were stolen during a routine delivery. Here's an excerpt from the NY Daily News:

"In a heist executed last Thursday in London, two armed thieves hijacked between 50 to 75 dresses from Victoria Beckham's Spring/Summer 2010 collection from a van. The shipment of designer duds was bound for Nieman Marcus in New York. The dresses are estimated to be worth over $575,000.The thieves shattered the padlocks after the driver stopped on his way to Heathrow to make another delivery. When he returned to the van and saw that someone had broken in, the culprits jumped out of the back doors with oversize boxes of frocks. The van's driver was banged up but not seriously hurt. "

Keep it Tight!

Tights are my favorite accessory this fall. This season, designers are taking the opaque tights trend of last year to the next level. This year, the hottest types of tights for fall come in interesting patterns or jewel-tone colors.

Here are some runway looks:

Chanel

John Galliano

Jean Paul Gaultier

Here are some of my favorites:

Love Moschino ($164), Saks 5th Avenue

Indigo Peacock Feather ($29.99), ModCloth.com

Juicy Couture Diamond Pointelle ($42.00), Nordstrom

40 Something...

Happy Belated B'day Jigga Man!

From Mediatakeout:

Shawn Corey Carter had a wonderful 40th birthday bash last Friday at the lovely Campo de Casa resort in the Dominican Republic. The celebration began on Friday night, with an elegant dinner party. All the guests were asked to wear 1920s clothing and most complied.

During the dinner, Beyonce introduced and then played a video for the guests. In it, Jigga's friends and told him how much they loved him, and how special he is to them. Apparently it was extremely touching and, while Jay didn't cry, he was visibly moved by it.

The guest list included (from MediaTakeOut)

•Diddy & Kim Porter (sorry Cassie)

•Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz (sorry Mashonda)

•Kanye & Amber Rose (sorry John Legend)

•Beyonce's mom and dad (who didn't sit together at the dinner)

•Jay Z's mom, sister and a bunch of relatives

•Solange (without boyfriend Wale)

•Alex Rodriguez & Kate Hudson

•Jay Z’s business partners Lyor Cohen and Steve Stoute (both with their wives)

•Designer Tory Burch

•And of course, Oprah, Gail and Stedman

Once the dinner was over, the party began. There was first a show - which included fireworks, dancers and synchronized swimmers. After the show was over, they started playing hip hop and R&B and everyone danced the night away.

After a long evening, everyone retired to their own luxurious suites - which were provided complimentary by Beyonce. The next afternoon, everyone was invited to an informal brunch - where Beyonce actually took to the grill and helped cook the lobsters that were served.

After the brunch, guests were told that they could remain at the resort for the weekend. But Jay, Bey and a few other couples hopped on Jay's yacht - and took to the seas . . .

Below are some pics of the suites where guests stayed (first pic), and of the inside of Bey's yacht (second pic).

Also Piper McKei of Global Grind blogged about his style through the years...check it out in the post below...
