THOUGHTS?!

FROM THE TWEETS: CHRISTINA MILIAN BEEFS WITH FUNKMASTER FLEX

LexAve — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:43:12 +0000

Christina Milian is not feeling how people are prying into her personal life and most recently her official break-up from hubby The Dream. So much so yesterday the newly single mom fired back at FunkMaster Flex via twitter, after he went in on C.Milli.

“Christina Milian is Finished out here….Dream just wrapped you up….”

The Hot97 DJ later deleted the diss from his time line, but not before CMilian peeped the tweet and she fired back with:

“@funkmasterflex when will u just leave me alone and get a life? I swear all uve ever done is pick on me. What’s ur problem dude? Go away.”

And shortly after she deleted her response…but not before FunkFlex quickly retracted his lame statement and apologized via his twitter account:

Christina replied back with…

Glad to see FunkFlex stepped up and apologized to the single mother to be…very unnecessary. Christina Milian needs nothing but support at this point, not lame asses going in on her career…at least not yet.
In other C.Milian news, yesterday she was spotted out in Los Angeles running a few errands picking a child from a daycare center. Peep the wedding the ring she’s still rocking…is shorty in denial or something. I’ll give her a few months and she’ll be back on her feet. Keep ya head up mami!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: THE DREAM & CHRISTINA MILIAN ARE OVER!

LexAve — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:23:24 +0000

And just like that The Dream issues a statement via his mouthpiece to USMagazine,

“Terius ‘The-Dream’ Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward,” his rep tells Us.

Wait so these two have been over since 2009?! Funny how he finally makes this announcement the day photos of him romping with some mystery chick surface. How coincidental? I really don’t get how these relationships work in the entertainment industry…didn’t they get married in September 2009 and according to The Dream’s statement they’ve been separated since late 2009. Really?! So let me get this straight…you get wined and dined and suddenly you’re in love (or so think you are), then you wind up pregnant and then married, followed by a hefty $$ divorce. No wonder marriage is such a joke these days…whatever happened to the hard core values of family and marriage. This is exactly why I respect Beyonce & Jay-Z, ppl criticized them for taking forever to get married, but they did it the right way…took their time and got to know one another.
So am I surprised The Dream & Christina Milian are DONE?!…NOPE!
ARE YOU SURPRISED?!
***UPDATE***
The mystery woman has been identified as The Dream’s assistant, Melissa Marie…WOW! All this time and Christina Milian never knew. What a flabby JERK?!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: THE DREAM CAUGHT WITH SIDE CHICK!

LexAve — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:38:06 +0000

Looks like another is about to bite the dust…soon! It’s been rumored The Dream and Christina Milian were on the rocks and now we have photos of The Dream having some fun in the sun with some random chick that’s clearly not C.Milian.

Sure it appears The Dream and the mystery woman are engaging in innocent fun until The Dream does this…

And notice…how he’s not wearing his wedding ring. Hmmm…

There’s absolutely nothing innocent about these pics…all that water playing is just foreplay for whats to come back at the hotel. The Dream is a certified WHORE! See more pics HERE!
Best believe Christina is gonna go in on his ass and can expect a hefty check out of his cheating ways. I can already see Christina pulling a Kelis on The Dream. GET HIM!

STR8 EVENTS: THE FADER 68 ISSUE RELEASE PARTY x THE DREAM

LexAve — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:22:03 +0000

Last night ya gurl, LexAve, randomly attended The Fader magazine’s #68 issue release party at the Hudson Hotel in NYC. The event was sponsored by Budweiser and Def Jam. The basement venue was full of hipsters with beer bottles in hand…guaranteed good ‘ole time. Had the chance to reconnect with some of back in the day colleagues and meet some wonderfully snazzy people. But the fun came to a screeching halt when I found out The Dream was set to perform. To room full of hipsters…really?! Who knew this was his target audience. I know I didn’t. Anywhoo, as the night progressed- ya gurl kicked with galpal Zunnania of Zunnania Designs and Parrish of Sobs for the majority of the night cracking jokes and sippin’ on some bubbly…(I hate beer!) At about 10:15pm or so, the DJ went from playing electronica hip hop joints to full blown The Dream mode. WHAT?! Ok…10 minutes later, The Dream took the stage. He kicked off his set with “Ditch That“, followed by “Panties to the Side” (GASP), then “Love King” and finished off with “Make-up Bag”. Not only was I vexed at this “Teddy Graham” look-a-like only performing four songs and bouncing- he was straight up WACK! No stage presence whatsoever. I mean just ’cause you’re “ill” with the pen & pad doesn’t mean you’re meant for the stage. Not to mention “Panties To The Side” really threw me for a loop. I haven’t copped Love King and surely after his lackluster performance last night I don’t intend to..I wont even waste my time or disk space downloading the album #imjustsayin
On a side-note, can you imagine lil’ 5 or 6 year-olds dancing and singing along to pull your “Panties to the side“…SERIOUSLY! THIS IS BLASPHEMY. I love you Fader magazine, but The Dream was NOT a good look!
Stay tuned for videos to come. In the meantime enjoy these pics…

BEYONCE WORKING ON NEW ALBUM WITH THE DREAM?!

LexAve — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:56:09 +0000

Who said anything about a break?! Beyonce might have hinted at slowing down and focusing on other priorities (i.e. Jay-Z & babies), but according to The Dream she’s already working on her new project. No slowing down here for the hardest working chic in the game. In a recent interview, the Grammy-winning musician talked about working on a reality show and helping Rihanna with her next album in addition to hitting studio with Beyonce.

“I’m working on a reality show, I’m working with this girl name Kasha who’s here today. We’ll probably get her album done within the week,” he told Singersroom. “Ciara’s already started on her project ['Basic Instinct']. You know, Rihanna, Beyonce, the same beautiful people every year. It’s a cycle. We’ve gotta get that money.”

If Beyonce gets back in the studio and cranks out more hits…will there ever be a shot for Kelly Rowland to get her shine? #imjustsayin Sit down and chill for a minute…

CHRISTINA MILIAN HURT BY DIVORCE RUMORS?!

J'More — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 17:56:31 +0000

It’s been speculated that The Dream and Christina Milian’s marriage is on the rocks. Especially after Christina gave birth to their baby girl Violet, the couple has rarely been seen out together which has the blogosphere all up in their business. Well, in a recent interview with Essence magazine, hubby The Dream sets the record straight by lashing out at the blogs for creating false stories. He says,

Whoever thought that blogs would dictate our conversations, [the writers] must be in their bedroom saying “Look what I can do”. It’s actually sad to have to entertain it. The rumors are not true and it really boils my blood. Christina and I are cool. People keep asking, “Why haven’t we seen you guys out together?” I’m working, that’s why you haven’t seen us. She’s at work too in Los Angeles. The women in the pictures are actually legitimate friends of mine. The photo with me in the car with another woman, she’s a good friend who’s at my house all the time. It’s sad, because [the blogs] have humiliated her. She feels bad, I feel bad and you don’t know what that [judgment] does to that person. Who takes responsibility for that? I understand freedom of speech but if I made my living spreading rumors about people, my family wouldn’t claim me.

What are we supposed to think when we always see Christina with baby Violet and hubby Dream is out at red carpet events solo?!

NEW VIDEO: THE DREAM ft. T.I.- “MAKE UP BAG”

J'More — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:47:24 +0000

Radio Killa aka The Dream drops a new video for his second single “Make Up Bag” featuring T.I. off his already delayed album Love King set to drop June 29th. Nick Cannon’s ex-fiance and Victoria’s Secret Angel Selita Eubanks plays The Dream’s boo as he showers her with expensive designer bags to make up for all the trifling things he’s done. The song really doesn’t do it for me and neither does the video.

Peep the video…
