Rihanna and Matt Kemp: No Longer Playing Ball?
Rumors are flying again that singer Rihanna and her cheating baseball playing beau Matt Kemp are breaking up. We told you that Rihanna decided to drop kick Matt after she saw a video that clearly shows Matt stepping out with a LSLH chick in LA while she was on tour.
But according to Eonline:
There’s nothing dramatic going on between the two, but they’ve been spending a lot less time together these days. Simply put, Kemp’s in Arizona focused on training with full-day workouts while Ri-Ri has been jetting around the world promoting her most recently album, Loud.
The two have been dating for about a year. “Their schedules were difficult, but they made it all seem so easy being together,” says a pal of the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder.
“He loves her very much and I honestly believe she loves him a lot,” says another source. “How this plays out no one, not even them know at this point.”
A Rihanna confidante concurs, but says no one would be surprised if the romance fizzled because the singer is “still very much a kid.”
According to the source, the lovebirds were supposed to spend the holidays together in November, but “something has changed” between the former sweethearts. Normally, Kemp would leave training camp to be with Rihanna, but the two haven’t been spotted together since the American Music Awards last month.
The source, who is obviously a man, denied the rumors that Kemp was cheating on Rihanna with the girl in the now-famous video. “The girl…is nowhere near his type,” he said.
Since when does a cheating dog have a particular type that he prefers to cheat with? Any woman who has been cheated on knows that 90% of the time the other woman is not her man’s type.
I do agree with the source that Rihanna acts like an immature schoolgirl whose head is easily turned by every pretty light skinned boy she sees. If she’s not careful, her lack of good judgment will derail her career for good.
PICS: Keyshia Cole’s Album Release Party in Atlanta
R&B Diva Keyshia Cole held her album release party for her album Calling All Hearts in Atlanta last night. I hear it was packed with fans who will hopefully go out and buy Keyshia’s album when it drops next Tuesday, December 21.
In anticipation of the release, another track has leaked from Keyshia’s album. This one titled “Last Hangover” featuring Timbaland.

In the meantime, those pesky cash flow rumors within Keyshia’s camp have cropped up again. Some of you might remember the rumors that her manager Manny Hailey was bouncing checks all over the place. Well, a source within Keyshia’s record label tells me that Manny has taken to running up expensive bar tabs at nightclubs and refusing to pay when the bill comes.
Keyshia is said to be so upset at the constant complaints about her manager that she hired an additional manager — a female — to look after her business affairs. This does not mean that Manny is fired (they still have a contract), it means that Manny is not so hands on with her career as he was in the past.

ROYAL SNUB: Prince William Will Not Invite The Obamas To His Wedding
According to the Daily Mail, sources close to the royal family say U.S. President Obama and his wife Michelle will not be invited to Prince William’s royal wedding next year.
The prince prefers to hold the first ever “People’s wedding” and invite common folk like his fiancée, Kate Middleton.
The prince’s eye-opening decision to exclude the Obamas breaks with tradition of inviting heads of state to royal weddings (President Reagan and his wife were invited to Prince Charles’ wedding to Princess Diana in 1981).
The royal snub might stem from the fact that Mr. Obama refused to bow to his grandmother, the Queen of England, when they met last year. Obama compounded the insult by giving the Queen an iPOD loaded with his speeches.
Just a few days later, Obama bowed deeply to the Saudi King, which sparked outrage and condemnation here in the United states.
The prince’s attendant added: “It is certainly not the case that all foreign heads of state will be excluded. The guest list is still being drawn up and could change, but as things stand it’s right (to say Mr Obama will not be invited).”
A St James’s Palace spokesman said: “The wedding will not be a formal state occasion since Prince William is neither the sovereign nor the heir to the throne.”
Morning Glory: Sean Combs’ Hot Tub Model Identified
Remember the ‘model’ whose weave caught fire in Sean Combs’ posh penthouse hotel room? Well, TMZ.com hunted her down on a New York street and identified her as one Miyoki Jones.
Click the image above to watch the interview in which Miyoki claims that her hair was 100% real. Well, we don’t doubt that it was 100% real — we doubt that it was hers. As you know, weave is highly flammable and real hair doesn’t go up in flames that quickly.
Miyoki also swears that she was a hired model that night — not just some random LSLH groupie soaking in a hot tub hoping to catch Sean’s eye. By now, Miyoki has been in touch with a legal beagle who advised her to say her damaged hair was real in order to collect more cash when she takes Puffy to the bank. But we’ve seen the Twitter pics of her wearing a number of weaves and lacefronts. So we know better.

Celebs Out & About: Queen Latifah, Kelly Rowland, Khloe Kardashian, Trey Songz, Fabolous
Yesterday, our favorite Kardashian, Khloe, posted her family’s 2010 Christmas card photos on her blog. This particular photo garnered the most comments on Twitter.com last night. This family portrait reminds me of a modern day Adam’s Family with Kim Kardashian as Morticia and Lamar Odom as Lurch.
Here’s what Khloe had to say about the soon-to-be-classic portrait:
Hi dolls. Christmas cards have always been a REALLY big deal in my family. For as long as I can remember, my mom has made it a point to go all out, whether it was a ninja turtles themed card, or bringing a Santa into the mix, each year she always managed to top the year before. I’d have to say though that our card this year might be my favorite. It turned out beautifully — just SO glam! Plus, Mason is in it, which makes it even more special. Look at him standing there in his pinstripe suit, SUCH A LITTLE GENTLEMAN!!! LOL. I love it!

Pseudo-celebrity and socialite Amber Rose was spotted sitting courtside at the New York Knicks Vs. Boston Celtics game at Madison Square Garden yesterday. If you ask her what the score was she couldn’t tell you. You see, Amber wasn’t there to watch the game: she was scouting for potential clients. There’s got to be one or more professional basketball players who are in need of her beard services.

Another Dumb Rapper Locked Up
As the music industry woes continue, so do the opportunities for extra revenue for rappers. If records don’t sell, then neither will tours. And the nightclub promoters are feeling the pinch now too. So they won’t pay rappers to appear in their clubs. And, well, rappers do have to eat…
According to TMZ.com:
…a gaggle of cops raided rapper Waka Flocka Flame’s Georgia home this AM — and Waka’s mom tells us, fellow rapper Gucci Mane is in cuffs and prostitution may be involved.
Sources in Henry County tell TMZ, cops are investigating possible prostitution.
Waka’s mom tells us, cops are also looking for evidence of gangs and drugs, though we have not been able to confirm this with law enforcement.
Our law enforcement sources say cops found marijuana and weapons.
According to neighbors, there are still four cop cars parked outside.
We’re told Waka (left) is not there — and his mom tells us, if he doesn’t show up soon … cops will issue an arrest warrant.
Story developing …

The paps showed Viv’s man, Slimm, no respect by cutting him out of all her pics. They didn’t have to do him like that. Slimm is a well-known club promoter here in Atlanta. Photos by: Roger Wong/INFphoto.com
