STR8 SNITCHIN’: JAMIE FOXX SMASHING STACEY DASH OR PR STUNT?!…

Aside from the big wins at Oscar night, Jamie Foxx scored big by bringing along Stacey Dash as his arm candy/date. The red carpet sighting sparked rumors Foxx is now romancing Dash. Not to mention Dash recently split from her third husband, Emmanuel Xuereb, and spoke about it on – wait for it – Foxx’s radio show, “The Foxxhole,” on Sirius XM on Friday. According to Stacey, she and her husband “grew apart” over the last three years. Whether or not Jamie and Stacey are officially dating, the verdict’s still out. Some gossip folks claim Jamie is looking to re-establish a relationship with Stacey’s cousin and former CEO and Roc-a-Fella co-founder, Damon Dash. While Stacey is looking to revive her acting career. A snitch told the NYDailyNews,

“People are saying Jamie and Stacey hooking up is a win-win situation…It’s good for Jamie’s music career to be on good terms with Damon, and Stacey wouldn’t have snagged an invite to the Oscars without Jamie.”

At the Vanity Fair/Oscar after-party, Jamie and Stacey were very cozy and acting like a couple…

Check out the rumored pair talking to Extra. Here’s what Jamie said:
“We are on a date…She’s the hottest, and I’m just hanging with her. She did our radio show, and they are going to give her own show on FOX Home Radio, XM 149, and we decided to come out and enjoy the night.”

Sidebar: This “relationship” has PR stunt written all over it. Seriously, Stacey needs all the help she can get in the acting world and walking around arm in arm with Oscar winner Jamie Foxx is MAJOR!
THOUGHTS?!

MARIAH & NICK PREGGO RUMORS CONT’D + OSCARS INTERVIEW…

Over the weekend, Mariah had gossip folks talking when according to Page Six she said she had “something special” on the way.

A source said, “Mariah came out as a presenter but she was having trouble in her heels, which were eight inches high and so spiky, she accidentally stabbed herself in one foot before she was helped onstage.
“She seemed to be the only star hanging onto personal security. Outside the press area she seemed really giddy and was overheard saying jokingly, ‘I don’t know if I can do this!’ And she didn’t arrive and leave through an elevator like the other stars. She had a BMW limo pull right up to the stage.”
Celebrating without husband Nick Cannon backstage, Carey did nothing to stop rumors that she’s pregnant or ready to adopt, telling us, “I have a lot of new acting projects coming up. I am talking to ['Precious' director Lee Daniels] about at least three movies. But there’s also something else very special on the way. I can’t say any more.”

And in other MiMi & Nick news, check out the couple bringing that special kind of crazy to the Oscar’s red carpet.

Is it me or is MiMi starting to resemble a pitbull…in a skirt? I’m starting to think these two are the new Bobby & Whitney…what the hell?!

DAILY SWAGGER: OSCARS CHICKS ZOE SALDANA vs JENNIFER LOPEZ

Last night, the 82nd Annual Academy Awards went down in Los Angeles, CA and Hollywood’s finest were definitely in the building! Dominicana Zoe Saldana and Boricua Jennifer Lopez held it down on the red carpet for the Latinas. Don’t get me wrong Zoe looked absolutely stunning, but her dress reminded me of a tropical bird of some sort. As for Jennifer she worked the sh*t out of that pale pink Armani Prive dress. Which Oscar’s chick do you think killed it on the red carpet?

GREAT 52ND ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARD PERFORMANCE MOMENTS…

GREAT 52ND ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARD PERFORMANCE MOMENTS…

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards went down last night. Lady Gaga kicked things off with stellar performance alongside Sir Elton John. Yes, her fashion choices are questionable but underneath all that HAM she’s got real talent…at least I think so.

Beyonce was the big winner of the night, taking away a total of 6 Grammy awards…making Grammy history, first woman to win so many grammy’s in one night. She won big but her performance was rather blah…she performed “If I Were A Boy” with military dudes as props. In between lyrics Beyonce did her rendition of Alanis Morisette’s “You Oughtta Know”….it was OK! Aside from that, Beyonce looked GORGEOUS! She changed her outfit about 4 times and each of delivered…POW!

This picture is too cute…kind of like a glimpse into the future of a great family portrait.

Peep Beyonce’s acceptance speech…that was a weird reaction from Jay-Z, huh?

The twitter folks lost it when this happened…

Pink killed it…hands down the BEST performance of NIGHT! With the cirque du soleil, the singing, and dripping wet, guaranteed no one else in that room could do this… Here’s a backshot…

Michael Jackson’s kids came in and shut it down.

Shortly after Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Usher, Smokey Robinson & Carrie Underwood paid tribute to Michael Jackson. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to enjoy the performance because my stupid 3-D glasses I saved from “Avatar” 3-D flick failed me. So I chuck’d them across the room…p-off’d!

Worst performance of the night…pure embarrassment.

Black Eyed Peas shut it down with their futuristic performance…robots, metal apparel, and bunch of BS is the future…REALLY?!

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m huge Maxwell stan! So this plug goes without saying…

And yes the Grammy’s played Hip-Hop big time, but Lil’ Wayne, Drake & Eminem killed their “Forever ” performance…except extra long censoring thanks to CBS, WTF?!

MARY J. BLIGE TO SING FOR HAITI @ THE GRAMMYS

The Queen of Hip-hop Soul Mary J. Blige is using her soulful voice for a good cause!

The two will cover Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” during a special fundraising segment on music’s biggest night of the year! Music lovers will be able to download MJB and Bocelli’s version of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” on iTunes and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross for those who were left devastated by the earthquake earlier this month. The 52nd annual Grammy Awards will take place this Sunday, January 31st at L.A.’s Staples Center and will feature performances by Lady GaGa, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and more! Tune in for the live broadcast on CBS at 8 pm.

HALLE BERRY…GOLDEN GLOBE STUNNER + MORE…

Despite not starring in any of the nominated flicks at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Halle Berry came in and shut down in this Kaufman Franco ensemble. Can we all agree Halle looks stunning? Not to mention the short hair is as usual impeccable on her, the woman knows how to work it! My ladies of a certain age, if these images aren’t enough to motivate you to whip yourself into shape…i dunno what will. Halle is going on mid-40’s and she’s still killing it. Talk about being timeless.

Other stunning ladies included, Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz, Zoe Saldana, Drew Barrymore, Emily Blunt, Paula Patton and many others…
