Celebs Out & About
Burlesque singer Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z attended the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards. When complete, the center will be home to the New Jersey Nets NBA team which Jay Z has a less than 1% controlling interest in.
Doesn’t Jay Z look like he’s running for president? This is a rare, nice picture of him.
Once again Beyonce let her nephew Julez apply her lip gloss. If Jay Z ran for president, could Beyonce be First Lady material? LOL. She would certainly be the dumbest First Lady in history. They could never let her open her mouth and speak on any important issue. The media would have a field day dissecting her statements!

Maluca Hates GaGa and Beyonce’s ‘Telephone’ Video As Much As We Do
Until this morning I had no clue who or what a Maluca was (she’s cute though). Last night, after the overhyped Lady GaGa/Beyonce “Telephone” video premiered all over the planet, singer Maluca set off a firestorm of tweets by accusing GaGa of ripping off her soda can rollers hairstyle.
Just because we’ve never heard of Maluca doesn’t mean she isn’t influential. But I think Mali’s criticism might be misdirected. Let’s not forget that Beyonce is in the “Telephone” video too. And who has ripped off more artist’s creative ideas than anyone else in music history?
Below are just a few of the hundreds of tweets that followed Maluca’s response to “Telephone.”

Rumor Control: Monica Announces Separation From Rocko
I finally spoke to R&B singer Monica. She was very emotional as she announced the separation from her fiance, Rocko. This is the only statement that Monica will give. She asks that the media (and bloggers) respect her privacy during these trying times.
I know there were many rumors. And Sandra, I appreciate that you never dug into them for the sake of both our families. I am going to rest today & go back to work tomorrow. I am going to do what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire relationship and I’m sure that was not easy.
However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and I’m truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the good and the bad throughout the years.

ATL News: Is Rocko Cheating On Monica?; Ciara Makes a Cameo In Usher’s Video
In ATL news today, rumors are spreading that R&B singer Monica and her baby daddy, local rapper Rocko, are no more. Apparently, a jump off got Mo’s cell phone number and has been calling her phone and harassing her. Rumors about Rocko cheating on Monica are old news. Everyone in Atlanta has heard the rumors — including Mo. And that’s all they are: rumors. No one as proven anything.
But Monica does have some legal recourse if a jump off is calling her number constantly harassing her. I just got off the phone with my attorney who told me to advise Mo to get a TPO against the woman immediately — if, in fact, someone is harassing her. In the state of Georgia, it is legal to record a phone call (as long as one party knows) and use that as evidence to obtain a TPO.
I tried to reach Monica after receiving emails about the newest rumor. Here is what she said in a text message just a few minutes ago:
Hey sandra. Just waking up to the madness. I’m in la and worked with polow until 7 this morning. My phone is ringing off the hook and its all driving me a bit crazy because I didn’t askto be mixed in this. But that’s life. There’s always a rainstorm before rainbows. I’m going to call u once I get myself together some.
