NBA Baller Andre Drummond & Disney Chick Jennette McCurdy Post Cutesy Pics Together....After Finding "Love" On INSTAGRAM

Yup, ballers do try to holla on IG.  Case in point: Andre Drummond.  We saw a while back that he made blondie "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy the object of his WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday).  And no, we don't know why his grown man ass was watching "iCarly."   But, she responded with a follow and he responded with flirty words and sending stuffed bears.

And now, apparently, they've taken it all a step further and have hooked up in real life. 

recently the two have been hitting Laser Tag with each other and having their friends join in, going to the movies, hitting Disneyland and just chillin' out like love birds:

And with lots of heart emoticons infiltrating his captions, he said about a pic of them together:

Words can't explain! Add your own caption.....We'd rather not. But congrats on your Instagram love....

Channing Tatum & Jamie Foxx Premiere “White House Down” At Deauville

They’re the hottest new film duo in Hollywood, and Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx

were on fire at the Deauville American Film Festival last night

The “Magic Mike” hunk and the “Ray” stud were in the house to premiere their new flick “White House Down,” and they both looked handsome as they hammed it up for the shutterbugs.

During a recent interview on “Good Morning America,” Channing gushed about his experience working with Foxx.

“In the movie we're two people that are from two completely different worlds, that ultimately end up understanding each other. But in real life me and Jamie got on the first minute we met each other. We're both Southern boys so it was just easy.”

Air Jordan V "Fire Red" [PHOTOS]

Damn you, Jordan Brand. Just when sneakerheads thought the onslaught of heat was slowing down, they're are reminded that another must-cop hits shelves this Saturday, August 31. The shoe we're referring to is the iconic Air Jordan V "Fire Red."

People privy to the shoe's history know that designer Tinker Hatfield based it on the WW2 Mustang fighter plane. The 2013 retro looks similar to the 2006 release and features a buttery white leather upper that is perfectly complimented by a fire red midsole with black accents. The same hint of black can be seen on the tongue.

The number "23" is also embroidered in the side of each shoe.

Again, the Air Jordan V Retro "Fire Red" releases this weekend at Jordan Brand stockists across the globe. This includes Foot Locker locations and Nike's online store. The sneaker will retail for $160 USD.

Chief Keef Being Sued by Landlord

Chicago’s own rapper Chief Keef  is being sued by his landlord nearly $10,000 in back rent.

Georghe Simoniak-Sas has filed a lawsuit against the Chicagoan emcee, as well as his uncle, who handles some of his affairs. He claims that Keef hasn’t paid the $4,700 monthly rent on his Illinois mansion since June, and as such, is suing to collect the unpaid $9,400 and have him evicted.

Hopefully Keef gets this lawsuit settled, since he’s already fighting a child support suit also.

Why are GROWN FOLKS so disrespectful to Blue Ivy Carter? Via Twitter!

Is there anything off limits from slander?

A sincere question after waking up to endless comments about Blue Ivy, the daughter of Beyonce and Jay Z. Over the weekend, new photos of Blue Ivy surfaced, as she and Mama Bey are vacaying it up in Ibiza, Spain for the weekend. What’s the issue? There seems to be some very strong opinions concerning Miss Blue’s hair. And while the appearance of her hair can be debated from both sides, my question is, are we being too harsh and overly critical of a child? Peep a few comments defending and voicing their concerns:

What are your thoughts? Do you take issue with Blue’s hair? And are we being too critical? Or should Bey’s camp put more efforts into Blue’s hair?

Petition Calls To Rename Street After The Notorious B.I.G.

"Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way," has been a recognizable mantra since The Notorious B.I.G. dropped "Juicy" August of 1994. After representing the borough to the umpteenth degree during his tenure in rap, a fan is petitioning for a King's County street to be renamed after the late, great MC.

BK resident LeRoy McCarthy wants people to sign a petition calling for New York City to co-name the corner of the rapper's childhood home, St. James and Fulton Place, "Christopher Wallace Way."

Considering that much of Biggie Smalls' intricate tales, like much of anything else he did, interwove Brooklyn into the fold, it would only be fitting to commemorate the prolific artist. Doing so would also be a way for a neighborhood that's very fabric continues to change due to gentrification.

Case in point, B.I.G.'s childhood home at at 226 St. James Place has been renovated into a lavish condominium that listed for $725,000 earlier this year.

Only 178 more signatures are needed. Show your support here.

LHHA’s Erica Dixon Says New Boyfriend Is A Man of God + Why She Refuses To Speak On Scrappys New Girlfriend Bambi

The camera’s have stopped rolling, but the love lives between Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Erica Dixon and her ex-fiance, Lil Scrappy, have folk buzzing. Scrappy has taken his love and talents, embarking on a romantic relationship with Bambi (formerly of Basketball Wives LA), while Erica has a new boyfriend (who is a model), by the name of O’Shea. In an interview with Mara the Socialite, the reality star talks about her new relationship, Scrappy’s new girlfriend and accusations made by her ex-fiance, that she was once pregnant by a married man. Check interview excerpts below:

ON HER NEW BOYFRIEND, MODEL O’SHEA RUSSELL:

We met over Memorial Day weekend, and we was just cool, just friends. You know, just talking and kicking it. One thing led to another, and we both started developing feelings for each other, so we just made it official. He’s recovering right now from a car accident; he got hit by a car, so right now, he’s just healing from a car accident. He was actually walking and got hit. He’s doing a lot better, a lot better.

ON WHAT EMANI THINKS OF O’SHEA:

Yes, he’s met Emani, and she likes him, so I’m happy about that.

ON WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT O’SHEA:

He’s a man of God, that’s what I love the most about him; he’s a man of God. You know we pray together, and we just keep God first and foremost in our relationship and in everything we do.

ON SCRAPPY’S RELATIONSHIP WITH BAMBI:

I don’t even really speak on that because that’s my past. Not my present, not my future. Scrappy is my past, so whatever he got going on, he got going on. It’s no business of mine, and the best to him.

ON SCRAPPY SAYING SHE MESSED WITH A MARRIED MAN DURING THE REUNION SHOW (AND LATER ADMITTING HE LIED):

The crazy thing about it is on the reunion show, Scrappy said Erica was messing with a married man. Shay does interviews and says Erica was messing with a married man and got pregnant by a married man and got an abortion. She took it to a whole other level. Then again, I keep her relevant, so she has to keep my name in her mouth. But for Scrappy, that was like an all time low. It’s like really, you want to get on her and say this? And in the past, he has said and done stuff, and I’ve told him like that’s below the belt. Certain stuff you do, if you’re going to do it, it’s plain out to me, it’s just hatred. And to me, that means that you don’t want nothing to do with this person if you’re going to try and lie and really throw somebody under the bus, you don’t want nothing to do with them period. He has a tendency of doing things like that, and coming back and apologizing, which he did. Because right after the taping of the reunion, of course you guys didn’t know, he apologized. He was just like, ‘I’m sorry – I was hurt. I just let my emotions get the best of me. Everybody thinks you’re perfect.’ I never said I was perfect, but never have I messed with a married man and got pregnant and had an abortion. Like come on, really?

No word yet on if Erica’s new boo will join her on season 3 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta

OBAMA STAR POWER! President host The Kennedy Center Honors! 

Obama honored seven Kennedy Center award recipients - actor Dustin Hoffman, bluesman Buddy Guy, ballerina Natalia Markarova, members of Led Zeppelin, and David Letterman 

Star-studded event was attended by Jimmy Kimmel, Aretha Franklin, and Lenny Kravitz 

The president and first lady were in fine form during Sunday night’s Kennedy Center Honors, laughing and holding hands at the event, which recognize the nation’s most culturally influential artists, performers, actors, and musicians. 

Wearing a stunning Michael Kors gold lamé dress embellished at the neckline, the first lady dazzled as she entered the East Room of the White House with her husband, who was wearing a smartly-tailored tuxedo and an American flag on his lapel. 

Mr Obama honored seven of the country’s most influential artists, including Dustin Hoffman, Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy, late night host David Letterman, ballerina Natalia Markarova, and surviving members of rock band Led Zeppelin. 

The festivities later transitioned to the Kennedy Center, where fellow performers put on a show which will be broadcast later this month. 

Stars from New York, Hollywood and the music world gathered Sunday in Washington to salute the honorees who were tonight receiving the nation’s highest award for artistically influential Americans. 

‘Tonight, we continue a tradition here at the White House by honoring some extraordinary people who have no business being on the same stage together,’ the president began, joking to the recipients. 

He hailed the drive and vision of the honorees, noting that many, like blues musician Buddy Guy, grew up in conditions that didn’t foster creativity. Guy, for instance, was born into a family of Louisiana sharecroppers with no electricity or running water. 

He went on to pioneer the use of distortion and feedback with his electric guitar. 

‘(Their) passion took each of them from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of their profession,’ Mr Obama said, according to The Hill. 

 ‘Tonight in the People’s House, we have a chance to say thank you.’Former president Bill Clinton also offered lavish praise to Guy.'Buddy Guy's life is a miracle,' Clinton said. 'Just imagine you want to be a guitar player and you get your first strings by tearing off the screen door. ... He came from that to this.' 

Late-night host David Letterman was one of the seven honored in the annual awards ceremony. 

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel joined in celebrating Letterman's influence on many other comedians. 

'I knew Johnny, and I loved Johnny. Johnny was beyond reproach,' Colbert said in a toast to Letterman. 'Dave was stupid. Dave was ours. Dave was like us. 

'We wanted to throw things off of buildings. ... We would love to stick our heads out the window of 30 Rock and yell at passers-by, `I'm not wearing any pants!'' 

Colbert marveled at Letterman receiving such an award after he 'corrupted the minds of a generation.' 

Paul Shaffer, Letterman's longtime band leader, said he knew his boss was uncomfortable hearing such accolades, but that he knew Letterman was enjoying every second of it. 

Meryl Streep introduced the honorees Saturday during a formal dinner at the U.S. State Department and noted that Letterman had surpassed his mentor, Johnny Carson, in sustaining the longest late-night television career for more than 30 years. 

Michelle Obama favored an intricate Michael Kors gold lamé dress embellished at the neckline, from the American designer's 2013 resort collection. 

She accessorized with an elegant updo and gold earrings. 

This is the second time in two weeks the first lady has worn a gold ensemble by Kors, wearing a gold Michael Kors suit to the unveiling of the gingerbread White House. 

Kors described his collection as being of 'opulent minimalism,' inspired by a recent trip to Istanbul. 

Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl said he never took any music lessons when he was starting out because 'my teachers were Led Zeppelin. ... They were the most powerful thing in my life.' 

Lenny Kravitz said their influential music, at its zenith in the 1970s, became a lasting part of the culture of rock and roll. 

'It's very difficult,' he said. 'You get four guys that come together and make something so much more powerful than they all are.' 

Zeppelin front man Robert Plant said he was flattered and overwhelmed in receiving the American culture prize. He said he was glad to see his former band mates, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, using good table manners. 

The trio is scheduled to appear Monday on CBS' 'Late Show with David Letterman.' They are often asked if they'll reunite. Plant told The Associated Press he plans to continue traveling the world and wants to make new music along the way.

'If anybody wants to write some new songs, I'm game to write songs,' he said. 

Hoffman was honored for charting his own path after taking a junior college class in acting that 'nobody ever flunks.' Streep, a 2011 honoree, said Hoffman's quest to become an actor required waiting tables and typing for the yellow pages by day. 

'He'd do anything if it meant at night he could find himself on the stage,' she said. 

Glenn Close toasted Hoffman for defining the character actor as leading man in such movies as 'The Graduate,' 'Rain Man' and 'Tootsie' - and as an artist who insisted on setting the highest standards for himself. 

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the ballerina Makarova 'risked everything to have the freedom to dance the way she wanted to dance' when she defected from the Soviet Union in 1970. 

Makarova quickly made her debut with the American Ballet Theatre and later was the first exiled artist to return to the Soviet Union before its fall to dance with the Kirov Ballet. 

Singer Aretha Franklin arrives for the event in the East Room of the White House. DAMN Aretha can never get her clother RIGHT! She is killing me SOFTLY!

Clinton also took special note of Letterman, saying he must be wondering what he's doing in a crowd of talented artists and musicians. 

'Dave and I have a history,' she said. 'I have been a guest on his show several times, and if you include references to my pant suits, I'm on at least once a week.' 

The crowd of artists and entertainers gave Clinton a standing ovation as she hosted her final salute to the nation's artists as secretary of State.

Kennedy Center Chairman David Rubenstein gave her a subtle nudge to run for president in 2016, saying there's another room at the State Department to name after a secretary who later becomes president.

The Zolciak Family Feud! Zolciak Seeking A Gag Order Against Her Parents 

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak files gag order on her parents, after they spoke out about Kim’s behavior to the media. Kim and her parents are fighting over visitation of her daughters Brielle and Ariana. 

According to TMZ, the 34-year-old wig lover filed an emergency motion in Georgia last week to prevent them from publicly discussing their ongoing court battles over visitation rights of their grandchildren. 

Kim claims that her mother and father have trashed her to the press with ‘vicious lies’ and they’re planning on signing a $50,000 tell-all book deal. 

The judge has yet to rule, but the reality star’s breaking point with her folks evidently occurred last year during her televised wedding to NFL player Kroy Biermann. 

Karen claimed that she was completely cut off from her famous daughter’s family after using an indoor bathroom rather than a porta-potty, and promptly escorted off the premises by security. 

Kenyon Martin Disses Basketball Wives Says “It’s Toxic“ 

Lets see coming from a former married man that started tricking on rapper chick, gets tattoo of the mistress lips on his neck..had some possible std action with one of the co stars of the show Draya , car accident with mistress as passenger…..I believe someone’s life is just as ratchet, if not more, than the show. Anyway TMZ caught up with the former ball player as he was coming out of the Roxbury nightclub in Hollywood last night when they asked him how he felt about the VH1 reality show, which stars some of his old jump offs? … He did not hold back. 

He states with much disdain that: 

“I don’t watch that sh*t man … that sh*t is toxic to your soul to watch that sh*t man.” 

He continued, “I’ve been married man … that [show] doesn’t depict anything that went on in my household … f**k that show.” I KNOW this dude don’t want to talk about what went on in HIS “married” household….EITHER. THAT shit was toxic to every soul that came anywhere near it. LOL

NEW GIG: Ashanti LANDS Leading ROLE On Lifetime's "Army Wives" 

"The Woman You Love" singer Ashanti has landed a new gig, in addition to her FUSE Tv show, in Hollywood on Lifetime's hit drama "Army Wives." Find out who she's playing inside..... 

Ashanti is making big moves in Hollywood having landed a series regular role on Lifetime's "Army Wives."  Ashanti, who's been taking on acting roles since her 2002 appearance on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," will play Latasha Durant on the Lifetime series. Her character is described as "an optimistic mother of three, a sexy, fun woman who knows how to keep a husband – and how to keep him in line" 

Ashanti isn't the only new addition to "Army Wives" as the series has also hired Torrey DeVitto and Elle McLemore as regulars. The show starts filming Season 7 in mid-December in Charleston, South Carolina. 

Hmmm.  I’m not sure how Ashanti's going to mesh with the rest of the very talented cast.  Apparently, a few of the roles are now going to recurring status with one of the lead roles, Kim Delaney, leaving the show entirely.  So now's Ashanti's chance to make a name for herself on tv....GOOD LUCK!
