Earlier this week, we reported that Lil Kim threw a few shots at her imitator aka Nicki Minaj’s way. Well, yesterday while performing in at Webster Hall in NYC, the Queen Bee had a few more words for the Barbie and got a lil’ help from Brandy’s baby brother Ray J. Being the media whore that he is, Ray J hopped on stage and instigated the whole thing calling Nicki out to which Kim responded,

“We love ‘em. We love ‘em. We just want them to pay homage, so we can all ride together that’s all. It’s all about respect. You respect me. I respect you. If you don’t respect me, then fuck you!”

Peep the video…

WOW!

Honestly, when I first saw the video of Kim throwing shots at Nicki I thought it was a dumb move, but this is the perfect time for the Queen Bee to make her return. The rap world was just waiting for the Notorious K.I.M. to launch an attack at the Young Money wannabe and I for one want them to battle it out on a track. Realtalk, for all those talking about Nicki Minaj can flow better than Kim, y’all are obviously on drugs ’cause Kim will eat her silicone injected a$$ for dinner!

Kim who? Looks like Reggie Bush is on to the next white chick! Word is the NFL star was spotted trickin’ on a new snow bunny at Barney’s in Beverly Hills this past weekend. A snitch tells Page Six,

“They looked pretty relaxed together, like they’d known each other for a while.”

Peep these pics of Reggie and his new snow bunny…

So those rumors about Reggie hitting up Kim to reconcile are obviously false. Anywhoo, is Reggie allergic to sistahs ’cause it seems like all he dates is white chicks. #Imjustsayin

While it’s been speculated that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are going half on a baby, not to mention recent pics of the singer further added fuel to the rumor. Well, folks we’re no longer on bump watch ’cause Alicia is indeed preggers with Swizz Beatz’ seed. The Grammy-award winning singer’s mouthpiece broke the news to Us magazine–confirming that the couple is expecting a baby and plan to marry later this year.

A snitch tells Us,

“They are very happy.”

Earlier this year, Alicia revealed that she was ready to settle down and start a family. Who one knew that it would be this soon?! How long have they been dating? Anywhoo, Swizz already has two kids from prior relationships.

Alicia is well aware of karma ’cause what goes around definitely comes around! I wonder how Mashonda is dealing with the breaking news. Matter fact, Mashonda doesn’t even have to worry about them ’cause she ‘s about to get P-A-I-D!

Looks like Radio Killah aka The Dream done got Mariah Carey caught up in some mess! According to two songwriters, The Dream is taking credit for penning songs that he didn’t even put pen and paper to. Preston Marshall and Demario Driver are suing The Dream, Mariah Carey and Island Def Jam for copyright infringement and want them to hand over $450,000 in damages. These guys claim they penned Mariah and The Dream’s duet “My Love”–meaning The Dream had absolutely nothing to do with it. Apparently, their track was jacked after they emailed it to music executive Jeff Huffman back in 2008, and realized it was on The Dream’s “Love vs. Money” album a year later.

“I sent the song to (Huffman) via email. I never hea rd back from him. (After hearing the song on The-Dream’s album ) I was hurt because you put a lot of time and effort into this. You know, music is my life. I feed my family this way”, explains Marshall.

It’s quite hilarious that a while back The Dream spoke about penning the track he claimed he wrote the lyrics with Mariah in mind. Yeah right!

The Dream should hit up Beyonce for some advice ’cause she’s an expert at taking credit for sh*t.

After finding out how much bread American Idol judge Simon Cowell rakes in every week,  Mr. “Can’t stop, Won’t stop” aka Diddy is gunning for dude’s job.

“I have been fronting all this time, trying to act like I don’t want that spot. [But] I spoke to Simon’s business manager, and I found out how much that boy makes a week. I am praying right now to ‘American Idol. I want everybody to get on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and say that Diddy should get the Simon spot — but for the same amount of money that Simon was getting, else it’s a deal-breaker.”

Diddy wants Simon’s job…well his paycheck so bad that he’s practically begging for it. WOW!

“I’m tired of being cool: That number that Simon was getting a week is ridiculous. I can’t even be cool with that. Please, can I have the job, whoever’s in charge of giving that job? There’s no negotiating the contract. Just change the name on the check, and I’ll be there. More money, no more problems. Them days is over, baby. Let’s go.”

We all know Diddy is all about his benjamins and I could really see him on the judging panel, but there’s obviously a reason why American Idol bosses haven’t called his a$$ yet. Realtalk, they made Ellen a judge–what does she know about music? My point exactly! American Idol is not ready for Diddy and his take that, take that attitude!

Don’t expect Nas and Kelis to kiss and make up–ever!  Apparently, Kelis doesn’t ever want to give Nas another taste of her milkshake! According to TMZ, the singer has filed papers asking the court to speed up their divorce. In court documents filed last week, Kelis said, “it would be in the best interest of both of us if our marital status is terminated as soon as possible”. Apparently, Kelis is worried that legal proceedings will take years to figure out, so she’s asking the judge give her a divorce ASAP and to deal with “all other issues” later. Looks like there really isn’t a chance for these two ’cause Kelis is really “over” Nas. She stated,

“I believe there is no possibility of reconciliation with [Nas].”

Damn…Nas got Kelis begging for a divorce! He must have really did her dirty ’cause this is turning into one messy a$$ divorce. R. Kelly said it best, “When a woman’s fed up, it ain’t nothing you can do about it”.

Straight out of Brooklyn…Flatbush to be exact is singer/songwriter Terrell Howard who embodies all the key elements needed to succeed in today’s grueling music industry–determination, dedication and direction. Terrell began honing his craft at an early age. He attended the Professional Performing Arts H.S. in NYC, while receiving vocal training at the prestigious Julliard. After graduating from high school, Terrell was accepted to Berklee College of Music, however he turned them down and went on to pursue his dream–signing a deal with Arista Records. Although Terrell was released from Arista, he didn’t let that deter him. Terrell went on to create his own imprint,  Hitbox Music and has worked with a slew of the music industry’s all-stars including Usher, Slim of 112, Missy Elliot, and Sean Garrett to name a few. Terrell describes his sound as being “likened to the “real singers” of R&B including, Charlie Wilson, Aaron Hall and R. Kelly, bringing back the 90s sound, while incorporating edgy lyrics.”

He’s been featured on Power 105.1′s “New NY” unsigned hype segment, “On Deck” with Jovonn “The Last Don” and not to mention he’s also got the backing of Cavi, one of the flyest contemporary menswear lines worn by some of your favorite celebrities including Jay-Z!

Check out Terrell’s hot track “Siren”…

For all our ATL readers, Terrell will be doing his thing LIVE at BMI’s “Unsigned Urban Showcase” at Havana Club tomorrow!

While the world may be going gaga for Lady Gaga, legend Grace Jones isn’t a fan of the pop star. When asked how she felt about the singer, she told UK’s Guardian newspaper,

“I really don’t think of her at all. I go about my business. Adding, “Well, you know, I’ve seen some things she’s worn that I’ve worn, and that does kind of piss me off,”

Apparently, Lady Gaga desperately wanted to collaborate with Miss Jones—but she turned her down with the quickness.

“Yes, she did, but I said no,” Grace said. “I’d just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually.”

Grace kept it real funky, but I wonder how she feels about Rihanna? And Akon is a dummy if he thinks Lady Gaga’s swag is original ’cause it’s pretty evident where she gets her inspiration from. Need a reminder?…

I think this says it all…

While Katy Perry has BFF Rihanna planning her bachelorette party, fiance comedian Russell Brand is trying to top her shindig by enlisting Hip-Hop’s finest Jay-Z and Kanye West to throw his bachelor bash. And according to Kanye, he and Jay are going all out for the British comic–big pimpin’ baby! He tells More magazine,

“I think we’ll start in New York at Jay-Z’s club for a night or two, then take Jay’s private jet over to Vegas. We’re inviting Simon Cowell, so we’re going to have a choice of private jets!.”

Ya already know Russell’s bash is definitely going to have all the money, cash, and hoes!

Earlier today while trotting the net, the homie theParrish hits up ya gurl LexAve with news about rap veteran Eric B putting Nicki Minaj on blast via Twitter. WHAT?!

So why the beef? Well turns out our Hip-Hop Barbie is on some ego-trip. According to snitches aka HSK, Eric B tried to make his daughter’s dream come true by meeting her idol Nicki Minaj. *blank stare* However when the time came for the meeting, Nicki Minaj treated Eric B like he was a groupie.

“He says when Nicki met him, she treated him like he jumped over barricades and snuck by security to meet her.”

WTF?! Either Nicki’s head is just too gassed up or she doesn’t recognize a veteran when she sees one. How dare she come sideways at one of rap’s pioneers? If this is in fact the way it went down…Nicki needs a serious reality check. Then again there’s always three sides to every story. Who knows maybe Eric B had other intentions?…#imjustsayin
