What were these celebrities thinking when they made these silly comments? Did they really think the other person would laugh it off or not react. We’re sure they will think twice before they open their big mouths again or do something else outrageous.

Pass Or Play? The Dream & Beyonce Get “Turnt” For His New Single

While it might have been a bit unnecessary, we can see why singer/songwriter The Dream publicly distanced himself from Keyshia Cole after she criticized Beyoncé’s “Bow Down.” He knows King Bey is that money maker and it would be career suicide to go against the machine. So, it really comes as no surprise at all that Beyonce’s featured on The Dream’s latest album IV Play. After all, The Dream says she’s family. You know black folk love a play cousin. Anyway the song, “Turnt,” also features 2 Chainz and gives all parties involved a chance to display their less than professional, (read: ratchet) sides. (Not that The Dream and 2 Chainz ever stray too far from that anyway.)

Though the song is called “Turnt” don’t expect a head banger. It has more of a winding, slow grind feel. In the song Beyoncé confronts a potential suitor: “Talking ’bout you gon’ kill it/beat it up till I black out.” 

And then The Dream comes in talking about what he and the ladies want in a man or woman. I need that black leather, when it’s hot outside, in the summertime. She need that cocky, ready to back…”

He even goes to so far as to explain how the ladies approach him: “She said you the reason why all of these cute girls got babies.”

Ha! He ain’t never lied. He does tend to reproduce with very attractive women…and then dip. Ratchet indeed.

Check out a snippet of the song below.

You can listen to the whole album by pre-ordering on iTunes. The album hits shelves Tuesday, May 28th.

So what do you think is this song hot fire or is it a hot mess?

“She Don’t Mean No Harm”: Frankie Defends Keyshia Cole, Says When She “Gets Bored” She Comes For People On Twitter, But Does It Out Of Love…

During an interview with WRUG Radio, which we found through MissJia, Frankie Lons, always on ten with her sayings (“man down,” “man up,” “hangin’ around like wallpaper,” “and the plot thickens”) was asked about her daughter’s recent comments about Michelle from Destiny’s Child, and the response Kelly Rowland had to that drama. In true Frankie fashion, she kept it really real, and blamed Keyshia’s comments on boredom, but that she really has nothing but love for DC. Some of it didn’t make sense, but you get what she’s trying to say:

“Keyshia…sometimes she get bored. She didn’t mean no harm. Actually it was a compliment because Michelle did keep up.”

“Shout out to Michelle, Beyoncé, and what’s the other one’s name? Deez Nuts. I’m just playing! Shout out to Destiny’s Child, ya’ll did a wonderful job. And Keyshia didn’t mean no harm so ya’ll just gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s married, sometimes she gets bored. But she has her Kodak moments. When she say something negative, that means it’s actually positive.”

Side eye at the negative means positive…but let’s continue:

“My baby loves all the celebrities. She loves everybody. Sometimes she has a bad way of showing it, a funny way of showing it. But when she focus on you, that means she loves you and she’s complimenting you. And I wanna be like Keyshia when I grow up…She didn’t mean no harm. She loved it…she make you work, she ain’t gonna just give you no compliment. You gotta work for it.”

I guess…but there are better things to do when you’re bored. But like Frankie said, it’s time to lay off Keyshia, especially since she’s cleaned up her act on Twitter. Now if we could just get her to stop snapping off on her fans in concert she might be all right…

Keep Your Boo Behind-the-Scenes: 11 Celebs Who’ve Mixed Their Mates With Their Music

Ever since I heard the slowed beat of Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” drop, I instantly had Ciara’s latest single “Body Party” on repeat. I knew the video would feature her slithering and sliding in moves that would keep EMTs busy for weeks as women across the country blew out their backs and pulled hamstrings trying to imitate the moves for their men.

I wasn’t disappointed when Ciara scissored her legs in the air for boyfriend Future as they play out how they first met for the video, but it was like deja-vu as I saw her relationship slowly steal the spotlight from her first two singles. Is it me, or does something happen to a recording artist when they fall in love and choose to flaunt it in their work? After watching Ciara’s steamy video for “Body Party,” I couldn’t help but wonder if she’s risking the buzz she’s worked so hard to build back by allowing boyfriend, Future, to make so many appearance.

Mixing business and pleasure is a risky move.  There’s something about when celebs turn the camera on to their personal lives that causes their careers and their relationships to fall apart.  Here are a few celebs who might want to think about leaving their boo behind-the-scenes in the future.

1. J.Lo

J.Lo had a pretty good buzz going as a singer even if her “hits” were only heard in the clubs, but as soon as Ben Affleck took J.Lo from the block to the yacht in her Jenny From the Block vid, Jenny’s singing career went man down for a minute and she was left man-less and a little embarrassed.  Not to mention Ben credited the cameo with almost ruining his career. And who can forget how clearly sprung she was on the track “Dear Ben,” in which she sings,” I love you, you’re perfect.” Well apparently the feelings weren’t mutual; Ben quickly married another Jennifer after their break up and made like 11 kids with her.  Sting. Word of advice for the former fly girl: You can sing all the love songs you want about your boo, just don’t name them after him and throw said boo in all your videos.

Keyshia Cole

We saw Keyshia Cole performing at The Danforth Music Hall during her Woman to Woman tour and we have just one question for her: exactly which super hero is Keyshia Cole trying to be? Does she have a role in X-Men Origins that we don’t know about because last time we checked, the Green Goblin didn’t wear glitter panties.

Straight Comedy: Lil Mo Talks Getting Cheated, Keyshia Cole & R&B Divas: L.A.

lil mo intro

If you saw Lil Mo discussing her feelings about Keyshia Cole and Beyonce’s “Bow Down,” then you know she has a strong personality and a way with words. She’s witty. Kind of puts you in the mind of K. Michelle but more churched and more classy. She’s a riot. She sat down with the Breakfast Club to discuss her career, why she doesn’t rock with Keyshia Cole and her role on the new show “R&B Divas: L.A.” Check out a few excerpts from the interview and then watch the entire video on the last page.

On having her kids on the show “R&B Divas”

Lil Mo: “My baby son he’s 9 months, he has his shots.

Envy: Mo make him sound like a dog.

Lil Mo: No cuz you know people have their baby out, it be the size of my phone ‘here he is.’ If you don’t take that baby…it’s germs out here. It’s the flu. That baby could die! I don’t play that. So he has his shots, he’s of age. And I was like, yo these kids need jobs because…

Angela Yee: Wait, hold on so the baby gets paid too?

Mo: Yes. I have a great lawyer.

 

Her personality on the show

It got to the point. They had to add on extra weeks of shooting. I would shoot everyday. Listen, everything I am invited to, I take over. When I do radio, I don’t do nothing less than number one. When I do songs, as long as I got a machine and budget behind me, I can make top 40. When I do tv, you’re going to want to see me in my element. I only know how to dominate. That’s my personality. I don’t go in like ‘aaaahhh’ I don’t know where people get that from . But I made it my business to bring my staff with me. I had hair and makeup everyday . Clothes. I ain’t wear the same thing twice. I can’t speak for the other ladies.

 

Who’s your best friend on the show?

Honestly, everybody. I took everybody for their flaws and everybody. I’m my own best friend I didn’t sign on because of who signed on. I signed on because this is something I wanted to do because it’s great for promotion, visibility as well as my whole movement.

I talk to Chante Moore. You would never expect her to be like mad cool. Like cool like us.

And We’re Done: Celebrities Whose Fans Are Turning on Them

Beyonce is still catching a lot of shade from her Bow Down video — and the fact that she hasn’t released that “Grown Woman” track yet — but she’s not the only celebrity whose fans may be changing teams. These celebs have annoyed, harassed and stood up their fans for so long that they’re finally moving on.

If you’re sick to death of Keyshia’s mouth, you’re not alone. At a recent performance, Keyshia took shots at the audience when they didn’t clap loud enough and they took shots right back.

Here’s what one of Keyshia’s former fans had to say on Twitter:

“This Beyotch MAAAAAAD, the crowd wasn’t rockin hard w/ her she said “At ths point in my career if u not rockin w/ me u can get out” lmaooooo u not Jay-Z or Beyonce ppl ain’t rockin w/ EVERY song. ..Aye my tickets were free soooo umnmm I can say this “Keyshia a rat w/ money” lol her stage presence says “cheese please” lmaooo”

This on top of her Beyonce shade and hesitance to claim being just black are not bidding well for her future in the business.

So Umm… Where They Do That At? Keyshia Cole Allegedly Shows Up To Meet And Greet 2.5 Hours Late, Then Behaves Rudely To Fans

“Woman to Woman” singer Keyshia Cole has been making headlines quite frequently lately. Unfortunately, it isn’t her music or hew new album that has media outlets buzzing. Instead, it’s her seemingly horrible attitude. At the close of last year the singer found herself in the midst of a public dispute with California radio station KMEL 106, after she pulled out of the station’s Holiday House of Soul concert because she wasn’t pleased with the fact that she wasn’t listed as the show’s headliner. Not to mention the not so nice comments she made about Michelle Williams during the Destiny’s Child Superbowl performance. Now she’s being blasted for the less than professional behavior that she allegedly exhibited during an appearance coordinated by Detroit radio station, Hot 107.5.

According to the station’s website, Keyshia was scheduled to make an appearance at Soundboard at MotorCity Casino. The event was hosted by clothing retailer Villa and Hot 107.5 and was scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm. Fans began lining up outside at noon, hoping to get an autograph and possibly even a photo with the “Trust and Believe” singer. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out that way. Hip Hop Detroit says that Keyshia showed up 2.5 hours, leaving fans waiting outside in the cold, rainy weather for four hours.

In case you’re wondering what would cause a person to keep their adoring fans waiting for that extended amount of time, let me just say that it wasn’t traffic. Sources tell the station that Keyshia refused to even walk inside of the venue until she was supplied with a specific kind of water, which is actually what caused the hold up.

It seems that Keyshia’s divtatude only continue to swell as the night went on. Concergoers who attended her show at the MotorCity Hotel later that night say that offered a few unkind words to them as well. When she wasn’t receiving enough “love” from her audience, in the middle of her performance, she allegedly told the crowd:

“At this point in my career if you not rockin’ with me you can get out”

In the words of Lil Mo, who is your publicist?
