Legendary supermodel Iman called in favors and pulled rank to get “dance music performer” Kelly Rowland kicked off of Bravo’s The Fashion Show.
From NY Mag:
Alessandra Ambrosio was rumored to take Kelly Rowland’s spot on Bravo’s The Fashion Show, hosting alongside Isaac Mizrahi, but Iman got the job. We don’t feel bad for Alessandra, who has plenty of other work, but what about Kelly? How will she get attention now? Hopefully Miss Universe is hiring dance-music performers again.
Ouch!
Their Words, Not Mine…
Young Quincy Brown, spawn of Al B Sure and Kim Porter, responded to the widespread criticism he received for that wet, sloppy kiss he planted on his mommy’s lips on Mother’s Day.
Taken from his blog:
“There were a lot of mixed opinions and judgements that surfaced the internet today concerning the kiss i gave my mother on Mother’s Day. I think it deserves a personal response from me…. [May 9th] was Mother’s Day; A special day to celebrate and give thanks to all mothers and mother figures present in our lives. I chose to express my love and devotion to my Mother, not only by presenting her with gifts and verbal means of appreciation, but by sharing my LOVE for her with the WORLD; A KISS!
I come from a warm, loving and close family. It really is a secure feeling to be apart of a caring family, and my Mother is so much apart of the warmth and love that helps us appreciate and enjoy one another. All through the years, I’ve kissed my Mom, my Grandmother, and my Great-Grandmothers………With more kisses to come.”

Lil Wayne Caught With Contraband in Prison Cell
According to the Village Voice, Rikers Island corrections officers conducted a surprise inspection of rapper Lil Wayne’s prison cell and found earphones and a charger.
No audio device was found in his cell, so officers searched the cells of the other inmates until they came up with the missing mp3 player.
Before turning himself in to begin serving a 12-month prison sentence on weapons charges, Wayne told Rolling Stone magazine that he planned to keep working while in prison: “I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure they keep sending me beats.”
The only problem with that is, inmates aren’t allowed to have electronics such as iPods or cell phones in their possession.
The MP3 player was discovered in the cell of another inmate in the unit. And, in a kind of tragic detail, it turns out Lil Wayne had hidden the original contraband–the charger and headphones–in a snack bag in the garbage can of his cell.) He’s being charged with an infraction–possession of contraband, says our source. Inmates are allowed to purchase an AM/FM player and earphones from the commissary, but what Wayne had wasn’t authorized. Before you yawn, realize that everyone in Rikers–even the celebrities–is forbidden to possess any form of non-sanctioned mobile electronics, whether cell phones, videogames, or otherwise, and the fact that Lil Wayne was found with an iPod in his cell means that someone had to smuggle it into him.
Weezy’s minor infraction will probably mean additional time tacked onto the end of his sentence. Last month prison officials fired an overeager female prison guard who entered an unauthorized area to peek in on Wayne. The former guard is filing a wrongful termination suit against the city.
Throwback Wednesdays: Trey Songz Delivers An R&B Beat Down
Remember back in the days when singer Trey Songz was 3X harder than he is now — or at least he pretended to be. I dug deep into the SR archives for this video jewel.
Back in 2007, Trey was performing in a hole in the wall club on the chitlin’ circuit when a hater tossed a couple of ice cubes his way.
“Who throwin’ ice?” Trey demanded to know. When a chick raised her hand, Trey and his bodyguard leaped off the stage and beat ol’ girl beat down! Trey would probably look back on that azz whippin’ as the highlight of his career.
I bet some of you ladies yearn for the good ol’ days when Trey at least pretended to hard as a rock.
Gucci Mane Is Free
About 30 minutes ago, troubled rapper Gucci Mane walked out of the Fulton County Jail a free man. Gucci, real name Radric Taylor, was arrested last November by his parole officer for violating his probation a second time.
Gucci held a press conference outside the jail where he read a prepared statement to a swarm of media, bloggers and photographers who jockeyed for his attention.
During his stint in jail, Gucci kept busy by writing lyrics and recording his latest mixtape, The BurrrPrint 2HD, over the phone with the assistance of his producer, DJ Holiday.
Gucci also started up a new label, 1017 Brick Squad, and fired his longtime manager Debra Antney, who is rapper Waka Flocka‘s mom
