#LHH #MendeeceesHarris found NOT GUILTY of CHILD SEX CHARGES! [details]

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 09:00 PM PST




Mendeecees Harris of 'Love & Hip-Hop' fame has been found NOT GUILTY of MULTIPLE child sex charges!!
mendeecees harris not guilty Mendeecees Harris Found NOT GUILTY!

Harris was charged with sexual assault, child endangerment and promoting prostitution — after being accused of forcing a 15-year-old girl to watch porn with him, expose herself to him, and perform oral sex on him back in 2009.
Relatives and friends of Mendeecees Harris erupted in a courtroom in state Superior Court in Hackensack as the panel came back from less than a few hours of deliberations and cleared him of multiple charges of sexual assault, child endangerment and promoting prostitution.
"We love you! We love you!" one woman screamed at the jurors while several other relatives, who filled up half of the courtroom, clapped and cheered, with more than a dozen sheriff's officers struggling to calm the crowd.


Harris' attorney released a statement after the decision, saying, "My client and his family are jubilant that these charges are now behind him … This is real drama, not TV."

HOLD UP!! Don't pop the CHAMPAGNE just yet. Harris STILL faces charges of conspiracy to distribute 5 kilos of COCAINE! Let's see if he BEATS this wrap as well.

Breaking! CALIFORNIA MANHUNT for EX-COP #ChristopherDorner ONGOING! Suspected of killing 3! [video]

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 07:11 PM PST


Christopher Dorner



BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. -- Authorities hunting for an ex-Los Angeles police officer suspected of three killings have wrapped up a four-hour search of his mother's Orange County home.

Irvine police Lt. Bill Whalen says his department and U.S. marshals removed 10 paper grocery bags of evidence from the home Friday in La Palma. He didn't elaborate.

Computer forensics lab technicians removed five items as evidence.

Whalen says Dorner used to live at the home, but nothing indicates he's been there recently. Dorner's mother and sister cooperated with the search.

Dorner is suspected in a spree of violence as revenge for being fired from the Los Angeles force.

A former LAPD captain's daughter and her fiance were killed in Irvine last weekend. A pair of shootings Thursday killed one officer and wounded two others.

All that was left were footprints leading away from Christopher Dorner's burned-out pickup truck, and enormous, snow-covered mountains where he could be hiding among hundreds of cabins, deep canyons and dense woods.

More than 100 officers, including SWAT teams, were driven Friday in glass-enclosed snow machines and armored personnel carriers to hunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of going on a deadly rampage to get back at those he blamed for ending his police career.

We all have taken a few pictures in our life that we are NOT PROUD OF.  I know I have a FEW.. But when you are an INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR, and MILLIONS of people are watching...things get a bit DICEY to say the least.

Case in point, Beyonce and her publicist wants a series of photos from Sunday's ENERGETIC Super Bowl Halftime show to be ERASED from the Internet because they capture the artist in a VERY UNFLATTERING light.


When you are doing the type of high-energy choreography and singing that Beyonce did, photogs are BOUND to capture some angles, and facial expressions and poses that are just NOT RIGHT!!!!

Check out these UNFLATTERING photos that Beyonce doesn't want YOU to see.....AFTER THE JUMP!











Well the last two were just for SHITS & GIGGLES.. But don't fret Bey.  It's just the phenomena that Tyra Banks dubbed 'Ugly-Beautiful'.  You are still THE BOMB... AND RIPPED TOO!!

Rumors are SWIRLING that Alicia Keys MAYBE with CHILD...AGAIN!!

Sources are saying that Keys intends to announce her pregnancy during Grammy weekend!  This is a pic that has some thinking that Keys and another SWIZZIE in the 'BAKERY'!


BAD ANGLE or BABY BUMPAGE!!????


YOU BE THE JUDGE?
That may have explained why she took it SO SAFE with the "National Anthem' at the Super Bowl and chose to SIT DOWN at her trusty PIANO as opposed to a more 
STANDARD performance. 
But being pregnant didn't stop her the last time.
Five months pregnant, Keys was rolling on top of pianos at the BET Awards!
And remember she took a TUMBLE while pregnant at The Essence Music Festival


So we shall keep an EYE on this one!!!

Is it Splitsville for gospel duo #MaryMary ???

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 11:15 AM PST

Breaking up can be hard to do, especially when you're FAMILY! Sisters Erica and Tina Campbell, well known to the gospel music world as Mary Mary, look to be headed in that direction unfortunately. Since the duo's self-titled debut album in 2000 which featured their breakout hit "Shackles (Praise You)", the ladies regretfully admit that they haven't had more than three weeks off. Their reality series on WeTV also chronicles the ladies finding it challenging to juggle music and motherhood and even shows tensions sometimes rising between the two with Tina wanting to spend more time with her children while Erica is all about touring and promoting the group. An official split has not been announced but they have expressed in several interviews that an indefinite break is much-needed. And lately Erica has been adding fuel to those rumors, as she has been spotted out a lot lately... solo. She attended the Essence Black Women in Music event earlier this week flaunting a sexy new figure.
Over the course of their career, Mary Mary has become one of the most awarded groups in gospel music history, amassing 7 Dove awards, 10 Stellar awards, and 3 Grammys, among many others. Their last studio album, Something Big, was released in 2011.

#WendyWilliams, #SoledadObrien, #ToniBraxton , #TheJennerSisters, #GabbyDouglas, RIP the RUNWAY in Red for Heart Disease!

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 11:02 AM PST

Red Dress Fashion Show 2013


We were just speaking of matters of the 'heart', with Toni Braxton not feeling music in her HEART anymore and that segues us into HEART HEALTH for women.

U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, along with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas, singer Toni Braxton, talk show host Wendy Williams and CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien,and many more walked the red carpet at The Heart Truth's annual Red Dress Collection fashion show Wednesday night, highlighting the ways in which they're personally fighting for the cause.
"This event is all about raising awareness ... that heart disease is the number one cause of death and the number one killer of women in this country," Benjamin told The Huffington Post. "[For] African-American women, however, it's even more so, because of the health disparities. We have much more hypertension, much more diabetes, more obesity. Those are the things that are risk factors for heart disease," she added.


Peep the Video and get more DETAILS after the JUMP!






Singer Toni Braxton, who was diagnosed with heart disease after the birth of her second son, Diezel, agrees. "Sometimes it's challenging practicing self-care, because [as] women, we tend to forget about ourselves," Braxton said. "But sometimes there are signs and symbols that say, 'hey, get yourself checked out, take a little break.'" For her, those red flags include chronic fatigue and elevated blood pressure, symptoms that Benjamin says you don't actually have to break a sweat to get a rein on.


For the younger set, gymnast Gabby Douglas had some advice, too: "Eat protein, stay active and eat healthy." For a history-making athlete that may seem easy to do, but Douglas emphasizes it takes a lot of work, even for her.
"[I'm heading] back to the gym," Douglas said, when asked by reporters how she plans to spend her summer vacation this year. "[It's] in West Des Moine, Iowa. I love Des Moine," she adds. "Everyone's so nice. I love the atmosphere ... and I love the corn!"

Incidentally, corn has been shown to help promote heart health, with the vegetable's antioxidant activity a known protector against cancer and heart disease, increasing as the corn is cooked.



GET HEART HEALTHY LADIES!!!

1st Listen: #Ciara previews new single "Boy Outta Here" feat. #RickRoss [audio]

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 11:14 AM PST

She's back (again)! Ciara fans get treated today with a sneak preview of her new single "Boy Outta Here," which features Maybach Music mogul Rick Ross. CiCi is on single number 4 now, and there is still no solid release date for her One Woman Army album, which keeps getting pushed back further than Stevie Wonder's hairline! The previously released singles "Sweat," which featured rapper 2 Chainz, "Sorry," and "Got Me Good" have all failed to make a significant impact on the charts, but hopefully this collaboration with Rick Ross will fare better. One Woman Army will be Ciara's first release for Epic Records after leaving the LaFace label over lack of promotion and declining album sales. Take a listen at the snippet below:

HOUSE DIVIDED! #CliveDavis invite #Houston Family to annual #Grammy Party! #Cissy OUTRAGED! [details]

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:22 AM PST



It really is a 'HOUSE DIVIDED' situation with Whitney Houston's family!  On February 11, we will remember the 1-year anniversary of Whitney's untimely passing.  Houston's body was actually still upstairs in the very hotel and the very time she was supposed to be the guest of honor at her mentor Clive Davis' party!
The Houstons are at odds on how they should remember Whitney on this day.  Clive Davis intends to honor Whitney at this year's party and invited the ENTIRE Houston family to be his guests.  Gary and Pat Houston wish to attend, but Ms. Cissy Houston is OUTRAGED at the invite!! Get the DETAILS after the JUMP!!


Whitney Houston's mother Cissy recently spoke about her dismay at being invited to the event on the day that her daughter died.

"I got an invitation to the party, which is the most obscene thing," Whitney's mother Cissy Houston, 79, told Access Hollywood Thursday. "I don't know why they would want me to come to the party in which she died, you know? Unheard of."
"I guess maybe he just sent me a copy for remembrance sake," she
Clive Davis, Whitney Houston

Whitney's brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law Pat feel very differently about the invitation. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the couple said that they will attend the party to support Davis.
"[Clive] was such an important part of Whitney's life. I mean, that was her industry father and he really, really was," Pat said. "My husband and I will definitely be there this weekend to support Clive. Absolutely."
Different view: Pat Houston and her brother Gary, who is Whitney's brother, feel the invite is appropriate and will attend the party to support Whitney's 'industry father'

There is no word on how Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi-Kristina feels about the invite.

THOUGHTS!!?!?

I can see both sides of the debate. It would be hard for Cissy to attend knowing that this is the place and the reason her daughter was even in L.A. at that time and the LAST PLACE she was alive.  But I can see it also as a means to honor a legend.
I'm divided as well....
