Model Eva Marcille Is PREGNANT! First Child With Kevin McCall On The Way....

Eva Marcille and boyfriend Kevin McCall are expecting their first child together!  Deets inside on the rapper/singer/songwriter & model duo....

"Top Model" alum Eva Marcille just confirmed she's pregnant!  And she's 5 months along.  Yep, 5 months preggers with only a tiny baby bump showing through her gorgeous black gown at last week's BMI Awards (below):

The twosome, who have been together a little less than a year, confirmed to BET.com today that they have a bun in the oven.  The 28-year-old new mom-to-be said about expecting her first child:

"Being able to bring a life into the world is every woman’s dream but for me it’s more than just a dream it is a magical, mystical journey which I get to share with this amazing man.

Kevin is the only man who I would share this moment in life with.”

Well that's sweet.  And we're sure Eva will rock pregnancy well.  The modelicious chick, who will appear on the second season of BET's "Real Husbands of Hollywood", was just in a teeny weeny bikini when apparently she was 2 months along.

"Deuces" rapper Kevin, who already has a toddler daughter, is clearly smitten with his woman.  He gushed about her being on his arm for last Thursday's BMI Awards saying on his IG account.

"My beautiful woman came along to support me. She is such an encouragement to me to keep pushing and also to be grateful for all accomplishments big or small...love her for that cuz shit gets tuff in this game."

Awwww…..Congrats to the couple on their new little one!

ADDIDAS Stan Smith Retro Returns For NY Fashion Week [PHOTOS]

The adidas Stan Smith is back. Technically the shoe didn't really leave, but its last retro was way back in 2011. But this September, it will make a return in limited quantities for New York Fashion Week.

According to Sneaker News, the NYFW drops is just the first as more releases are planned for  a greater re-introduction at succeeding Fashion Week celebrations in London and Paris as well as Berlin Art Week at Andreas Murkudis. Dover Street Market Ginza in Tokyo will also host the launches of the shoe.

The sneakers clean, no frills lines made it a staple from the tennis courts to the streets since it debuted back in 1971 (when Stan Smith's official became its endorser). Sneakerheads definitely took the model for granted and have missed them since adidas Originals stopped stocking them. But now, instead of the $60 - $70 prince range you may remember, a pair will now cost you $100 (but expext premium materials)and will be available at Barneys starting Septemer 4.

Uh Oh? Raymond VS Raymind Tameka STRIKES BACK!

Tameka’s traded in the set of lawyers for these 2… Alexa Ross and Richard Robbins!

According to Hip Hop Enquirer: Tameka showed up to court with her new legal team ready to bust guns but unfortunately Usher was a no show.

There was another scheduled hearing for Tameka Raymond and the singer to address the issue of her getting more parenting time with their children but for some reason Usher Raymond was a no-show even though both his high-powered attorneys John Mayoue and Ivory T. Brown were present.

Once the judge discovered that the singer wasn’t present for the hearing, he requested both sides to appear in his chambers. Our source stated that the judge was not happy at all that Usher Raymond wasn’t there. Within 30 minutes, Tameka Raymond along with her two new attorneys (Alexa Ross and Richard Robbins) as well as the singer’s attorneys emerged from the judge’s chambers tight-lipped on what was discussed in the closed door meeting.

Maybe Usher not showing face will work in Tameka’s favor. Having lost one child and almost another has got to be tough. Hopefully, Tameka can stay strong and be able to walk away with a better situation with her new dynamic duo and their shiny suits.

Christina Milian Engaged

Christina Milian is headed down the aisle with her fiance' music producer Jas Prince...

According to Life & Style. After months of speculation, Life & Style has learned that Christina Milian and longtime love Jas Prince are engaged!

A friend close to the couple confirms the engagement in the new issue of Life & Style after photos from her social media posts in April showed what appeared to be a ring with a pear-cut center stone.

“She is over-the-moon happy,” the insider tells the mag.

Fun Fact: This will be Christina Milian's second marriage. Her first marriage to music producer Dream disintegrated into a messy cheating scandal after less than one year.

Hopefully this time is the charm!

Four Harlem Women Land Reality Show On OWN Network: ‘Crazy.Sexy.Life.’

Non-scripted TV shows like ‘Welcome to Sweetie Pies’ and ‘Raising Whitley’ continue to be a hit with Oprah Winfrey’s network. And now that she’s nailed a formula (diversifying programming and adding shows by Tyler Perry), the 59-year-old media mogul has put her stamp of approval of another show.

Oprah visits sweetie pies in ST. Louis, MO

‘Crazy. Sexy. Life‘ is a docu-series (which we’ve gathered is a preferred term for folk who don’t like the term ‘reality TV) following the lives of four longtime girlfriends living in Harlem. Cameras will give viewers an inside look at Kiyah, Bershan, Chenoa and Tiffany focusing in on their New York City lives, both personal and professional. Instantly, Sex & the City or shows like ‘Girlfriends’ come to mind, right? OWN president Sheri Salata said in a release:

We feel strongly that Crazy.Sexy.Life. will resonate with our viewers. Set against the backdrop of America’s most vibrant and competitive city, this show details what real life is all about for a quartet of very different personalities who have embraced one another as ‘family’ for more than a decade, and who depend on one another unconditionally.

Peep pics and a sneak peek at the first five minutes of the show

<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eO9ZXEahD0E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

OWN will preview the show on Tuesday, Sept. 3 at 10 p.m. following the fall finale of Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots. The show will return in early 2014….h/t OWN Thejasminebrand

MAG FAB: Colin Kaepernick SHOWS OFF His Tatts For GQ's September 2013 Issue

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick covers GQ’s September NFL Kickoff issue.  Hitting newstands on Aug. 20, CK shows of his tattoos, talks about his adoptive parents and his racial identity. Here are the highlights:

Here are the highlights:

Colin Kaepernick on reliving his bad plays on-field:

“All my life, I’ve had these flashbacks, these dreams, nightmares, daymares, like visions, where I relive certain plays,” he says. It’s never the highlight reel stuff. Just the junk. “Only the bad plays. I see them over and over, as if somebody’s rewinding a tape and forcing me to watch. Some of these are recent.” The three goal-line incompletions that preserved Baltimore’s slim lead as time dwindled in the Super Bowl play frequently and vividly. “But some of them go back to high school. Every time I relive these mistakes of mine, I’m also forced to ask, What could I have done different? What decisions could I have made? This stuff haunts me, but I like it, because it makes the game hard. And the more I study, the more comfortable I feel with what a defense is going to do.”

Colin on the camaraderie of football, and preferring it over baseball:

“You know what I love most about this game? You know what I miss the most when I’m away from it? Being around my teammates. That’s it! Growing up, when I dreamed about playing in the NFL, it was never about being famous, never about the roar of the crowd. It was about the other players, because there is no other sport where you rely on your teammates so much. The fact that you can go out there and trust ten other people without even looking at them, that’s amazing. That you can build that type of trust and have that type of confidence where you can throw a ball without seeing where a receiver’s at, and just trust he’s gonna be there and make a play… Do you know what that feels like, to know those guys have my back and not worry about that? I couldn’t feel any of that as a pitcher. On the mound it was just me and the batter. And the questions were all about me: What can I do to throw him off? What can I do to beat him? But there was not that trust, that feeling of others relying on you. That feeling of ‘It’s just you’–I didn’t like that.

Tracklisting: Justin Timberlake – ‘The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2′

Justin Timberlake has the best-selling album of the year with The 20/20 Experience. On September 30, he will continue his big comeback by dropping the second installment. The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 features 11 all-new tracks, which he once again co-produced with Timbaland and Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon.

He revealed the tracklisting via Instagram videos throughout the day.

“I originally recorded a massive amount of material and decided on the 20 tracks that I wanted on the album over a year ago,” said Timberlake. “But, when I was mixing and going through all of the songs there were so many that I loved—I couldn’t resist… I had to throw in something extra on the second half.”

“The two albums are like seasons,” his manager Johnny Wright told Rolling Stone.

You can expect a darker feel from tracks like “You Got It On” and “Not a Bad Thing.” “Even the midtempo songs have a groove to them,” added Wright.

See the tracklisting below.

The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 Tracklisting

1. “Gimme What I Don’t Know (I Want)”

Nicki Minaj Previews More Looks From Upcoming Kmart Collection

Along with Nicki Minaj‘s new Minajesty fragrance - which hits stores this fall – her Kmart ”Nicki Minaj Collection” will also see its launch.

The Young Money star gave fans a look at her new line in a video that hit the net a couple of months ago, and she’s now previewing a few more pieces via Instagram. In two of the photos, she’s rockin’ matching sets. One features gold metallic foil print leggings with a long sleeve crop top (above), while the other shows her in track pants with Nicki Minaj and a crown embroidered on the front – and a multicolored cropped bomber (below).

Nicki also shows off a dress from the line; “One of my dresses. Hugs u in all the right places. #thenickiminajcollection,” she wrote. When she hit the set of Chris Brown’s “Love More” video earlier this month, she showed up in a black peplum skirt from the collection.

When speaking on the line, she shared:

There are some dresses that I’m obsessing over already.. just the shapes of them, they tuck you in all the right places, and they enhance in the right places. We’re definitely working on the leggings that I love for my body, so that women, no matter if they’re slim or they’re thick or whatever, can feel comfortable. Comfortable equals confident. That’s what I would say.

Will you be rockin’ with Nicki’s new collection?

R&B Divas LA’ Executive Producer Speaks Out, Denies Misleading Cast Members & Encouraging Drama for Ratings

Well as you know R&B Divas LA is a BIT HIT and with all of the drama surrounded Kelly Price’s character amongst the entire crew have folks tuned in weekly to see more of the drama. The sweetie Jasmine of the The Jasmine Brand got an interview with one of the producers of the show. Read it below

What’s your title and role with ‘R&B Divas’ LA?

I am one of the Executive Producers of the show. Along with Adam Reed, my business partner Phil Thornton, and Aaron Fishman, we oversee all the creative and production elements of the series.

 What other shows have you been involved with?

I’ve been in the TV/Film industry for over 15 years now, and have been involved in every type of show…on just about every network you could think of. Besides producing the “R&B Divas” franchise I Direct and Produce various types of TV and Film productions. Currently I am one of the Director’s on Nickelodeon’s new sitcom series “Sam & Cat”. Being involved in a hit realty series and scripted series at the same time is truly a blessing.

A few days ago, one of the show’s cast members, Dawn Robinson essentially said that she was mislead into what the show would be about. She mentioned Phil Thornton, who you work with, suggested it would be like a ‘Waiting to Exhale’ type of show. Were you involved with casting Dawn?

Yes. Phil and I together are heavily involved in casting for the show. After season one of “R&B Divas Atlanta”, it all pretty much starts with us two initiating any new potential cast. Lamar Chase and Jubba Seyyid at TVOne also chime in early with suggestions. We then collectively, along with the team at Think Factory Media, narrow down the candidates.

Were you present during the conversation she’s referencing?

Well my business partner Phil ran into Dawn out and about somewhere in LA when were developing the spinoff. Having a very successful run as a member of Envogue and Lucy Pearl, she definitely fit the bill. After that initial meeting I sat down with Dawn and the Producing team at Think Factory Media.

What’s your response?

Like all of our cast members, we thought she had a great personal journey that would resonate strongly with a particular group of women out there in the world. We thought her struggles with motherhood along with other challenges was a compelling storyline for us to follow, so we brought her on. That’s always our goal when considering a new cast member. During the process we hear their complete story beginning to end, discuss their current situation, their misconceptions, and where they would like to be in life and within their career. We mention what a great platform this series has been in re-launching careers, and sometimes bringing some folks back into the public eye. “Take full advantage…” is what we always say, and be as open as possible. We always encourage our cast to present things going on in their everyday life to follow, and we try our best to cover them all individually within the show. With 6 women and only 8 episodes we try to be as fair as possible to balance things out. That being said…”Waiting to Exhale”…sounds about right to me.

 

Did you’ll encourage more drama, to garner ratings?

There are natural dramas within every person’s everyday life, and with  “R&B Divas” that’s what our audience connects to the most…REAL natural situations & people they can relate to. Once again we tell our cast to be as open possible, and as Producers of the series we seek out resolutions, and positivity at all stops. No one has ever told a cast member to fight. As mentioned to each of the Divas when we first sit down with them, we are not sought out to create train wreck television, and that’s definitely not the type of programming I personally would want my name on.

Let’s talk editing a bit. Time and time again, reality stars point the finger at bad editing–essentially saying they were edited to show more negativity. What’s your response to this?

One of the LA cast members said it best recently in an interview. I think it was Lil Mo, and she hit the nail on the head. We shoot hundreds of hours of footage during 1 week. This is the amount of time allotted to capture 1 complete full episode of the show. Between 6 Divas and various scenarios that’s a limited amount of days for coverage that ultimately needs to be narrowed down to one hour of time. Actually it’s less than that if you consider the time for commercial breaks (roughly 40-46 min total). At the end of the day, when it comes time to shoot a scene, how a person conducts himself or herself when cameras are rolling is completely their own doing. If you give us X, all we got is X, so we deliver X. As a company we are required contractually, and on the hook to deliver an episode for each week.

This week, we reported that Dawn was a no show at the reunion. Our guess (which isn’t a fact) is she may be a bit unpleased with the show and decided against attending. Any idea on why she didn’t attend?

I’m clueless.

Anything else that you’d like to clear up before we let you go?

I just would like to thank the fans for the continued support of the series. Stay Tuned…there is more in store! 

And Thanks to The Jasmine Brand for bringing us the interview!

FIRST PIC From "Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas" 

Coming to theaters on December 13, Tyler Perry will release Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas. Shown atop, we have the first pic of Tyler (in character as Madea) with his co-star Anna Maria Horsford.

As usual, Tyler is directing, writing, producing, starring in...and probably catering, acting as the set paparazzi, acting as his own stunt double  and everything else for this film (along with Ozzie Areu and Matt Moore). The flick also stars  Chad Michael Murray, Alicia Witt, Larry the Cable Guy, Tika Sumpter, Eric Lively, Lisa Whelchel, and Kathy Najimy. According to Blackfilm.com, here's the plot:

"Madea gets coaxed into helping a friend pay her daughter a surprise visit in the country for Christmas, but the biggest surprise is what they’ll find when they arrive. As the small, rural town prepares for its annual Christmas Carnival, new secrets are revealed and old relationships are tested while Madea dishes her own brand of Christmas Spirit to all."

In other Tyler Perry news, his soap opeara on OWN, The Haves and The Have Nots, has reached over 2 million viewers and has helped OWN turn a profit.  That play-going crowd is nothing to play with..

First Photos Of Yeezy With Baby North

It was only a matter of time before photos surfaced of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian with their daughter North West. Paparazzi waiting in the wings near a doctor's office in Los Angeles to catch the couple with their baby.

TMZ reports:

Kim Kardashian finally showed her face in public after birthing baby North West -- surfacing at an L.A. medical facility Wednesday -- and giving us a glimpse at her post pregnancy bod ... sorta.

These are the FIRST photos of Kim and Kanye West with their daughter since KK popped back in June, and everyone looks happy and healthy. Hell, even Yeezy was smiling as they walked into the doc's office ... with a nanny-assist, naturally.

No shot of North's face though ... she was fully covered in a car seat.

 see pictures of the gleeful family. Also note Yeezy's ear to ear grin.

Perhaps there is truth to rumors that the G.O.O.D. founder wants to introduce the child to the world in Vogue magazine. We hope not, though.

Nike LeBron XI "Heat" Detailed Pics [PHOTOS]

LeBron James' next signature shoe, the Nike LeBron XI, is still months away from an official debut. But that doesn't mean early photos of the sneaker aren't already making the rounds, and here are some of the most detailed yet.

Reports Nike Blog:

Today brings yet another look — the most detailed to date, by far — of the Nike LeBron XI Heat, release date as yet unannounced. (Likely around October or November, though, as the former month carries the very first LeBron XI release.)

Done up in a black-and-red palette perfectly matching the Heat's away uniforms, the shoe mixes some of Nike's most impressive innovations — Hyperfuse, Armorposite, Dynamic Flywire, and a drop-in midsole that boasts full-length Zoom Air as well as Lunarlon. It's genuinely possible you're looking at the most advanced hoops shoe of all time.

Will you be copping and rocking these?

MOMMA KNOWS BEST: KRIS SAYS LAMAR AND KHLOE AREN’T GETTING A DIVORCE

Kris Jenner clears all rumors.

There has definitely been trouble in paradise for couple Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian. With all Khloe has been going through with Lamar and the alleged cheating rumors we’ve been waiting for Khloe to pull the divorce card.

But Khloe’s mom Kris Jenner says other wise..they are NOT getting a divorce.

With all the ish talking Khloe does about her sisters’ relationships we’re surprised that Khloe is taking this from Lamar.

Looks like she is all talk. But honestly Lamar needs to GET IT TOGETHER! Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are NOT getting a divorce and have never even discussed it according to multiple TMZ sources AND Kris Jenner.

Women have come forward recently and claimed they hooked up with Lamar. Several media outlets are even saying divorce docs are being filed as early as today. But our sources say it’s just not true.

Jenner tells us, “Khloe and Lamar are absolutely not getting divorced. There’s been no talk of divorce.” Jenner also says both Khloe and Lamar were at her house 2 days ago and everything was fine.

Other sources confirm with TMZ … Khloe has not even spoken with a divorce lawyer.

Our sources say they will only comment on what they know … so they’re not calling the women who have come forward liars. But they are very clear — Khloe and Lamar are very much together and there is NO divorce.

It’s clear that Khloe really loves her man. Lamar is lucky that she hasn’t dropped his a$$! We really hope for the best for these two in their future.

Rihanna Rocks The Zebra Print For A$AP Video Shoot

Making the most of her Humpday evening, Rihanna hit the streets of New York City for a little nightlife

And though she wasn’t showing as much skin as usual, the “We Found Love” singer still attracted plenty of attention in her dramatic zebra print dress.

Earlier Ri-Ri unveiled her brand new Rihanna for River Island range, telling press that the project has been a dream come true.

“I've wanted to design my own fashion line for a very long time. This is something I've wanted to do ever since I started loving fashion. I got passionate about it and every time I saw something on a rack there would be something I'd want to do to it to change it. So I felt like the only way I could do that would be to design the perfect thing for me. This is my way of doing that - teaming up with River Island and designing clothes for young women with young, sassy personalities.”
