Fantasia Reveals She's No Longer With Antwaun, Says "He Learned To Not Play With People's Hearts"
Looks like Fanny's smartened up afterall. The "Lose To Win" singer opened up to Jamie Foster Brown of S2S about ending the relationship with her then married baby's daddy Antwaun and now focusing on herself and her kids.
On the status of her and Antwaun's relationship
Me and Antwaun, as of now, we are not together. I think it’s the best thing for us all. We had to learn how to become friends again. There was so much stuff that came out. We were all hurt along the way. There’s trust issues. There’s just a lot of stuff that kinda got put in the mix. And I, at one point, I wanted to make everybody else happy. To love him, to make sure Zion was okay, to make sure everything—but I had to get to a place where I had to learn how to love Fantasia. I never did that, Jamie. And if I don’t love myself, then I can’t be in a relationship.
On the lessons she feels he’s learned
He’ll say, “I learned that you can’t play with people’s hearts.” I think every man gets to a place of knowing that they wanna be faithful and they wanna be good fathers and good husbands and good boyfriends… Things play out for you to say, okay, it’s time for me to man up or it’s time for me to woman up. I think we both have a lot of regrets of how things just happened; it all happened so fast. I just went full-speed ahead and that’s why I was tellin’ you now. I think out everything before I do it. Everything.
The full interview will be inside the issue, on stands now.

Move Over Red Bottoms, Metallic Jimmy Choo’s Are the Latest Celeb Shoe Addiction
Ladies, No matter how high or uncomfortable, ya'll will always find a way to walk in those killer, six-inch stilettos.
Recently, Keshia Knight Pulliam reminded us all of why we get those pedicures every two weeks. While red bottoms are still in, metallic Jimmy Choo heels from its Anouk collection, seem to be the new black. Pulliam was featured in the latest Essence magazine spread, rockin’ em and also showed up to the Wendy Williams show with a pair. And she’s in good company. Earlier last week (and not one to be outdone), Porsha Stewart, a newbie to BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, was seen rocking the same exact pair with a red Nicole Miller dress at a New York event for Rafaello & Co.’s jewelry line.
Just in case the metallic is a little too flashy for you, celebs including Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, and Halle Berry have all opted for the same fierce collection in more nuetral tones. They are showing the heels can still make a statement, even in a subdued hue.
Thinking about treating yourself to these pretty little gems? Well, they retail for roughly $650.00 (Yes, that is six hundred dollars). Ouch! Discount outlet anyone?
Shaq’s Former Mistress Files a Lawsuit, Cites Kobe Bryant
*Kobe Bryant is being called out in a lawsuit filed against Shaq for “intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault.”
The big man’s former mistress, Vanessa Lopez, is planning to ask the Lakers guard what advice O’Neal gave to him when he was being investigated for allegedly raping a woman in Colorado.
Lopez claims the retired NBA player started to harass her after she told her former fling that she was pregnant with his child. Allegedly she had broken off their relationship because he accused Lopez of cheating – though she was his mistress; funny how that works.
At any rate, while Bryant was under investigation, he reportedly told cops that O’Neal would pay up to $1 million in hush money to different women. O’Neal denied the claim
at the time and the rape charge against Bryant was eventually dropped.
Bryant denied the claim, and eventually the rape charges were dropped.
Lopez wants to know about the supposed hush money in an effort to prove O’Neal will go to extremes to sleep around without blowing his cover.
In the meantime, the mistress says she lives her life in fear since being threatened by O’Neal and his sister.
“I live every day fearing for my safety. I now have extreme anxiety because of Shaquille O’Neal’s campaign to intimidate and silence me. Since the incidents began I have been plagued by anxiety and depression for which I have taken medication.”
The trial began Monday, March 25,
Beyonce Disses Keyshia Cole On Instagram
It appears that things are going down between Beyonce and Keyshia Cole! These catty broads just can’t get enough of the petty bickering between them that they are taking this nonsense to social media. Get it together, ladies!
Beyonce apparently liked some photo of a diss aimed at Keyshia. Because these ladies are in the same business and cannot just speak out and say “I hate you and/or your music”, they’ve got to slip in little passive aggressive jibes at each others’ expense without people getting too keen on it.
In responding to a diss from Keyshia, Bey liked a photo of a diss on Instagram that was at Keyshia’s expense. Keyshia started the whole thing a couple of weeks ago when she blasted Bey’s new song Bow Down. Ladies in the industry flocked to Beyonce’s side, because, well — she’s Beyonce.
There was a post on Instagram that dissed some haters, saying, “B****es be like….Maybe I should just bow down.”
It wasn’t long before someone in Beyonce’s camp noticed it and it was unliked and removed from the internet. But I have a copy below
What do you think of the diss? Should they just drop it already? Or would Beyonce lose some of her vast fan base if she were found out to really dislike Keyshia Cole?

Kris Jenner Begs Lamar Odom Not To Divorce Khloe Kardashian Over Affair With The Game
Oh Kris Jenner, look at you, interfering in the lives of your children again. I mean, sure, all moms do that to some extent, but I don’t think most moms use tabloids as a tool to do so. At this point, I think we can all agree that Khloe Kardashian is lashing out against Lamar Odom with her continued relationship with the Game, whether it’s emotional or physical cheating [methinks it’s a bit of both, because there’s only so much time you spend emotionally cheating before it progresses into a physical relationship]. However, Khloe and Lamar’s individual fame is intricately linked – aka without each other, they wouldn’t be half as famous as they are today. Sure, Khloe’s still got the Kardashian name and ass, and Lamar’s still got the Clippers, who are doing better than ever. But what will happen if they break up? Well, no one will ever find out, if Kris Jenner’s got anything to do with it.
Kris is reportedly begging Lamar Odom not to divorce Khloe Kardashian over her affair with the Game, perhaps reminding him of his numerous past indiscretions. I mean, Kris knows all about this, ya’ll. She’s got damage control down like a science. She will leak reports that Khloe and Lamar are just fine. 1….2….3, aaaand it’s like clockword. People Magazine, the official mouthpiece of the celebrities, has just released a report about Khloe and Lamar’s ‘lovey-dovey’ dinner date.
Look at you Kris, working overtime to ensure that the tabloid exposure is maximized. The Kardashians really should write a book on how to stay famous while being completely talentless at everything. Honestly, it wouldn’t even be surprising to learn that Kris manipulated Khloe into getting close to the Game, and then manufacturing the whole drama to her benefit. Everyone knows Kris lives off of her daughters coattails, but who knew she was such a mastermind? Kris Jenner, Famewhore School 101.
Did Tyler Perry Purchase A Whole Neighborhood?
Film maker Tyler Perry is believed to be the purchaser on a subdivision-sized property in southeastern Douglas County located in Atlanta. The 856-acre property was purchased by ETPC Company LLC, a company with apparent ties to Tyler Perry. It was originally slated to become a 1,300 residence subdivision called Villages at Riverview, but plans fell through. What plans Tyler might have for the property are unclear. A person who refused to give a name in the office of Tyler’s publicist said the property records speak for themselves, but declined to elaborate on the plans for the property’s use.
Woman Says Bishop TD Jakes Helped Hide Deion Sanders’ Money for Prenup + Introduced Him to New Girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds
As if this divorce couldn’t get any messier; the church folk are now involved. And yes, we’re referring to the nasty, public divorce and custody battle between ex NFL’er Deion Sanders and his estranged wife, Pilar. Last week, we shared a cryptic tweet from Pilar, that she wrote to popular pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes, after losing custody of her two sons. She tweeted:
“Bishop” TD. Jakes n “Pastor” Omar Jahwar, I Know Exactly What U did. FYI.. Nothing Notonething Gets By God-Whether U BeLieve It Or Not!”
Initially, we had no idea as to what she was referring to, but now a story has hit that may bring a bit of clarity.
According to Rumor Fix, a woman named Nikke Sanni, who use to date gospel singer Fred Hammond, has come forward spilling all sorts of alleged tea.
Nikke Sanne & Gospel Singer Fred Hammond
The site reports:
Nikke Sanni is accusing NFL legend Deion Sanders of plotting to hide his millions from his estranged wife Pilar Sanders, but Deion’s attorney says the allegations won’t affect their prenup. Nikke, who used to date gospel singer Fred Hammond, tells RumorFix exclusively that she was present at a meeting in February 2011 when Fred, pastor T.D. Jakes and Deion talked about Deion’s plan to divorce Pilar and “he needed to hide his money.” Nikke contends Deion admitted “There was something wrong with the prenup agreement. So he needed to hide the money just in case.” The retail store owner says she’s been living with this secret for two years and she is coming forward now, because “I feel like Pilar is being given an unfair shake in the media.” Nikke says, “I had a front row seat before the divorce was even filed.” Nikke alleges Pastor Jakes told Deion how to shuffle his money. Emails to Pastor Jakes’ Ministry have not been returned. However, Deion’s attorney Rick Robertson tells RumorFix, “Even if these allegations are true, It would have no impact on the case. The arbitration judge already confirmed the prenup as valid.” Nikke will be called to testify when the nasty divorce trial begins in two months. She also alleges that Jakes, who officiated the marriage between Deion and Pilar, introduced Deion to his current girlfriend Tracey Edmonds and helped cover it up while Deion and Pilar were still married.
No word from TD Jakes’ camp. What do WE think? Honestly, we’re going with the assumption that there are more layers to both sides. We do know that Tracey Edmonds, Deion’s girlfriend, works closely with Jakes on the film side (they both produced the movie, ‘Jumping the Broom’), but who knows. We don’t like to pick sides ’round these parts, we’ll leave that to you. Stay tuned!
Akon Distracted Fans to Help Michael Jackson
Singer songwriter Akon once helped Michael Jackson enjoy a movie in peace by distracting fans.
R&B singer Akon once acted as a distraction for fans during a trip to a movie theatre with Michael Jackson because nobody recognised the King of Pop in his disguise.
The Smack That hitmaker collaborated with the Thriller legend in 2007, and he has fond memories of their time together - particularly because the icon loved to play tricks on fans.
Recalling one trip to a local cinema, Akon tellsCNN.com, "We snuck off to go to the movies, he had a disguise on. It was me and his three kids and we were on the escalator and the people were like 'Akon, oh my God, Akon,' and I am signing autographs and laughing, thinking, 'You don't even know who is beside me' - the whole time, he is standing there laughing."
Akon's duet with Jackson, Hold My Hand, wasn't completed until after the singer's tragic 2009 death and became the first posthumous release from his album Michael.

Birdman Gets New "TRUKFIT" & "GTV" Face Tattoos [PHOTOS]
Ewww....Kids, a face tattoo is not for everyone. Take Cash Money founder and CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams who has an assortment of ink, including two brand new ones, on his mug, for example. He is rich and can pretty much do as he pleases. You, are not.
Birdman took to Instagram and revealed that "GTV" and "TRUKFIT" tattoos have been added to his already sizeable face tattoo collection. The GTV, which stands for his Grand Touring Vodka brands, sits above his left eye, while the TRUKFIT logo is on the lower portion of his left cheek.
A few weeks ago, the "What Happened To That Boy?" rapper got a new "Rich Gang" logo tattoo on the right side of his face, which coincides with his forthcoming compilation project titled, Rich Gang. While Lil Wayne was in the hospital, Birdman was adamant that it was working too hard, not a drug overdose, that landed his son in the ICU.
Check out Birdman's new ink,
Do you have (explain yourself) or would you get a face tattoo?
