The Gossip-ish

So apparently Quincy Jones has a new girlfriend that's younger than his daughter Kidada:

His new girlfriend is 19 year old aspiring fashion designer Heba Elawadi. She's Egyptian and they attended Luda's album listening party together a few days ago. Interesting.

DJ Mel Debarge had a b-day party and lots of celebs came out:

Marsha of Floetry and Swizz Beats kicked it.

Maaaaaaaaaan Broke Crittenden WTF? Somebody come slap her for this foolishness.

Busta and Marsha

Melyssa Ford was there.

Wow.

Double Wow.

Fun times I guess.

Jay-Z performed on stage with Mariah during her tour yesterday:

Hopefully he's telling her to put on some damn clothes.

GQ and Guess presented "The Roof is on Fire" Third Annual Summer Bash last night:

Duane Martin was there.

I'm still not getting this Omarion thing.

Blu looked plastic as all hell.

JD and Travis Barker made and appearance.

I'll pass.

I'm feelin B's new promo pic:

No she's not on skis (like I thought the first time I saw this pic). But B looks pretty damn fabulous sans the ski like leashes. And if you think this chick is doing nothing but flopping right now, think again. Her single is at the top of the sales charts and #1 on Billboard's Hip Hop and R&B chart. Them hatas aint gonna like that.

Here's more pics from Usher's Chicago debut:

Marsha came out to support her friend Usher.

So did Rosie and her date.

Ameie and Usher

Ms. Union looked fab as always:

Nice.

And y'all know Ursh's lil bro was in attendance:

Awww.

Jill Marie Jones was there looking quite fabulous herself:

I love the whole look.

Even Gayle King was there looking more decent than usual. She brought her 2 kids too.

The Randomness:

1. Bin Laden loves him some Whitney. Story
2. Dawn posted all kinds of pics in her gallery of DK chillin.
3. I don't know how I feel about this new racial Survivor. I guess it's my distrust of the media and of mainstream network tv as to how blacks will be portrayed. *Sigh*
4. Ladies--do you have your Freakum Dress Yes, B was serious about this song (it's the full one). You can check out another leaked track Kitty Kat . And by the way, Papa Knowles strikes at the public again with a letter he sent through his publicist. He says the rumors of B's album being pushed back are NOT true. Here's a snippet of the letter I received:

"It is apparent that there is a consistent plan by some to create chaos
around Beyonce's B'Day album release on Sept 5 in the US. First, it was a petition against the single, “Deja Vu”, then a rumor regarding conflict between Beyonce and Rihanna, seizures caused by the "Ring the Alarm" video, putting out a single to compete with LeToya's album and now to add to all the ridiculous rumors, is my plan to postpone the release of her B'Day album. What will be next? Beyonce's cut off all her hair? Dyed it green? Maybe she's singing the songs in reverse with some hidden subliminal message!"
