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.

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.

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

Looks like this is the week of music leaks! While it’s been said that the Louis Vuitton Don aka Kanye West took a much needed break after his drunken episode at the VMA’s involving Taylor Swift. Well, we here at Str8NYC believe that ‘Ye said exactly what we were all thinking! Although, there is a time and a place for everything and of course ways in which you going about saying things…but that was then and this is now. Mr. West steps back on the scene with his new track “Power”. He spits,

“I was drinking earlier/ Now I’m driving/Stop tripping?/I’m tripping off the power/Till then, fuck that/ The world is ours/ Now this’ll be a beautiful death/Jumpin’ out the window /Lettin’ everything go/Lettin’ everything go”

It seems like ya boy is on some downward spiral power trip. Realtalk, the track is mediocre and Yeezy could’ve came much harder. WTF is going on Kanye?!

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

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.

Think you have what it takes to be the next Oprah or even Tyra Banks? Well, here’s your chance! The reining queen of daytime television is looking for the next big TV star. Could that be you?! Oprah has teamed up with reality TV producer Mark Burnett— the guy behind hit reality shows “The Apprentice” and “Survivor” to find stars for her OWN network. Click here to find out how you can become television’s next biggest star!

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”.

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!
