Looks like Common really missed Serena’s bubbly ass, so much so that the two are rumored to be dating again.  The tennis star and rapper/actor were spotted getting real cozy at the Shore Club hotel in Miami. Yep, fancy! Snitches tell Life & Style,

“They’re 100 percent back together. They were all over each other poolside”.

Word is Common is also ready to settle down and have some babies. Guess, he wants to make Serena his baby mama.

St. Lunatic Nelly is back with a blazing new track “Just A Dream” and is prepping the release of his new album 5.0. Complex magazine recently caught up with the Midwest rapper to talk about a few things including his on-and-off again relationship with Ashanti. This summer, Nelly and Ashanti were spotted at T.I. and Tiny’s wedding holding hands which set off speculation that the two were back on again. Well, according to Nelly he’s focused on his career right now and Ashanti’s focused on handling her business as well.

Complex: Yeah. This kind of goes along with that. I don’t know what your relationship with Ashanti is like or what led to an alleged breakup, but then the gossip sites will say you said that you’re back together and have pictures of you two holding hands at T.I. and Tiny’s wedding. Is it an on-and-off situation because you’re not good at cutting people if they don’t hurt you, personally?

Nelly: We never admitted that we were together or back together or separated, but we heard that. Only thing we ever said was we friends and it’s the same way now. I’m focused on 5.0. I got an album coming out on November 16th, she’s working on her project right now.

Complex: But are there things that happened in the relationship that have gotten you to a point where you’re not going to be dealing with her in the same capacity?

Nelly: It’s not like that. My ultimate goal and our ultimate goal is to be individuals, to sustain what we been able to sustain. You wanna make sure that when you get into a time and place that you’re able to do what you need to do, and right now, that’s my album. You don’t want to be into a situation where you do an hour-long interview and 45 minutes is based on something and you’re like, “Yo, what about this?” And that’s something that we’ve been able to maintain. Like, whatever becomes of our relationship. Whatever, whenever, or however, that’s going to be something that we’re going to do and we’re going to judge. It’s not going to be manipulated by outside people looking in, who don’t even know what the fuck is going on. I think that the only way you can maintain that is to just do what you do. I have to be Nelly. She got to be Ashanti.

If these two want to be like Jay-Z and Beyonce and keep their relationship a mystery…well good for them. But, there can only be one Jay and B! I’m pretty sure Nelly is still tapping that anyway…

So what’s a girl to do when she’s missing a key essential to her outfit? She finds a way or makes one–and that’s exactly what supermodel Tyra Banks did yesterday for Roberto Cavalli at French Vogue’s 90 Anniversary Party in Paris. Tyra needed a mask for the “Masquerade” theme party so she went out and purchased some cheap fishnet stockings and made her own. She shared her “Lady Gaga-esque” DIY project with her fans on Twitter.

Although, Tyra’s mask isn’t designer, I think she did a pretty good job. But, if ya ask me she kinda looks like Spider Man.

So, is Miss Banks “STR8 STYLIN’ or WILDIN’”?

Matt Kemp likes Rihanna so much that homeboy wants to put a ring on it! Although, the couple have been dating for only eight months, word is Matt really wants to wife Rihanna up. Snitches close to Matt and Raggedy Ann Rihanna ran their mouths to Us Weekly.

“They are in love,” says a snitch. “Seeing them interact, it’s definitely possible he could propose — but it’d have to be a long engagement, because they’re both so focused on their careers.”

Meanwhile, a snitch close to RiRi dishes,

“He centers her, as he has a more normal life. He allows her space, but they text and talk all the time. And they really have fun like kids when they’re together. They like to laugh and be silly.”

Rihanna is too young to be settling down…don’t you agree?

Now that Nicki Minaj has taken her place in the rap game, Lil’ Kim has her eyes set on finding other way to make some bread. According to the AllHipHop, the pint-size rapper has opened up a beauty salon and has also launched her very own clothing line. Lil Kim opened the second Salon Se Swa beauty salon in Charlotte, NC. This past weekend, Kim and actress Meagan Good participated in “Charlotte, North Carolina Fashion Week”, where she debuted her new clothing line “24/7 Star: Goddess Collection”. The line consists of cat suits, dresses and other pieces fitting Lil Kim’s style.

Ladies, would you rock Lil Kim’s clothes? It’s not like she wears much anyway. Nonetheless, I’m really interested in seeing what the Queen Bee has put together.

MUSIC FRIDAYS!

Way to go hackers for messing up a pretty G.O.O.D. thing! Why leak music when it’s already being given to you for free? Which is the same thing Kanye West wants an answer to. Well, in response to his track “Lost in the World” being leaked on the net yesterday, Kanye has decided to halt G.O.O.D. Music Fridays. Yep, it’s a wrap! *tear*

The rapper announced the breaking news on Twitter.

No word on when G.O.O.D. Music Friday’s will resume, but Kanye is working with Kid Cudi and lame ass Soulja Boy. Lord, I hope Kanye is smart enough not to put Soulja Boy’s corny ass on his new album.

Word is Cash Money head honcho Birdman took a trip to NYC’s Park Avenue Medical Center’s waiting room yesterday afternoon. According to PageSix, the rapper popped in for a checkup and brought his goons with him. Sorry, Drake and Nicki didn’t tag along for this trip. Hmm…wonder what he was getting check out? Anywhoo, snitches tell PageSix, that three big dudes from Birdman’s crew stat in the waiting room decked out in iced-out rings and bracelets along with T-shirts which read “YMCMB”. But, the funniest thing happened while they were waiting for Birdman. As they sat in the waiting room, an eldery woman walked up to one of his goons and asked “What do the letters stand for? Is that a men’s church group?”. Apparently, one of the guys, who was on his cellphone, replied, “No, it’s a rap group”.

Folks, we don’t make this sh*t up!

Looks like Karrine “Superhead” Steffans is done exposing rappers and is more focused on teaching the ladies how to unleash their inner “Superhead” in the bedroom. The famed video vixen is dropping her fourth book, titled SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple, which according to her is a work of “faction”, a titillating blend of fact and fiction. Each chapter explores and exposes the seedy underbelly of erotic fantasies and fascinations, then provides examples of how to bring each tantric desire to life. “SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple” is slated for an August 2011 release.

Damn, Superhead is still on her grind! Can’t say porn and videos aren’t a stepping stone for any career choice. If ya ask me, Kat Stacks could learn a thing or two from her.

It’s officially over for what used to be Hip-hop’s royal couple, Nas and Kelis. Their four year marriage has finally come to an end and we’re pretty sure both parties are relieved that it’s over. So ladies what does this mean for you?! Well, you now have a chance at throwing some booty over Nas’ way. But, don’t get it twisted just ’cause Kelis is no longer Mrs. Jones, don’t expect Nas to wife up or knock up any chicks any time soon.

But for those groupies looking to bag Nasty Nas please keep this in mind…

5. YOUR OOCHIE WALLY GOTTA BANG-BANG!- You gotta be a brave girl ready and willing to do your thing.

4. YOU GOTTA THROW IT LIKE A STALLION- Who knows, you just might wind up wearing his  medallion.

3. YOU GOTTA HELP HIM TRY TO “RULE THE WORLD”- Help him open every cell in Attica and help send all those n*ggas back to Africa.

2. YOU GOTTA HELP HIM STACK UP HIS PAPER- Cause money is Nas’ “main” bitch ’cause she keeps a n*gga rich.

1. YOU GOTTA KNOW THAT “HE IS THE TRUEST”- Be able to name a rapper that he ain’t influence.
