Lil Kim Responds to That Apparent Diss from Keyshia Cole
Hey, what can I say, it’s a slow news day.
To catch you up to speed, Keyshia Cole tweeted this during her BET rant this morning:
N while we’re addressing everything, Lil Kim and I a r not “friends” I take that term very seriously. We made wonderful music. That is it.
To which Lil Kim responded just a few minutes ago on Twitter:
U got that right. We are not friends. The same way U take friendship seriously i take loyalty serious. The whole world has seen me extend my hand to u over and over again. Only someone who’s trying to build a sincere relationship does shows 4 free & supports. u did not pay me a dime 4 none of that. That warrants some type of loyalty and respect. Friend or no friend i would have never let anybody disrespect u on my record but i can’t expect everyone to be as real as i am. At the end of the day karma is as real as i am and it’s coming to get u. oh wait…if it hasnt got u already… My love & loyalty to u got u a hit, ur friendship with ur friend got u a flop. looks like u need to choose ur friends more wisely dont u think? #teamlilkim LEGGGGOOOO…
Sounds like hurt feelings all around if you ask me. In case anyone is wondering: our girl Monica wasn’t nominated for a BET Award either, but you don’t see her trippin’ about it.
Update I, 2:24pm ET::
@KeyshiaCole just tweeted:
Kim that was a gr8 look 4 I coming out of jail just as it was a gr8 look for missy to have produced it. all I’m saying is don’t have everyone thinking I was disloyal as a “friends” cause we were never that and u know it. No disrespect.
And @LilKim replied:
Loyalty and respect has nothing to do with friendship…BOOM… Loyalty and respect is about returning a kindness. Have you ever came out and supported me at my shows? i dont think so.
Update II, 2:40pm ET:
@LilKim tweeted:
Yes it was a good look for me but it was a great look for u. At the end of the day it was a hit on YOUR album. Sticking 2 the situation. Again I would have never let anyone disrespect U on my song. That’s loyalty & respect. End of story.
Trina and Keyshia Cole Vent Their Frustrations at BET
The BET nominations were announced last night. Troubled singer Chris Brown leads all nominees with 6, and comedian Kevin Hart will be handling the hosting duties.
Unfortunately, a few past artists who thought their body of work was still relevant today caught feelings when they found out they weren’t even acknowledged.
Rapper Trina and singer Keyshia Cole took to their Twitter pages in disgust to make their feelings known to the BET network.
In a series of tweets last night and this morning, Keyshia wrote:
That awkward moment when u realize in everyone’s eyes your not the sh*t anymore. #POW. I’ve officially got the memo. Thank mtv/bet… These types of thing R the way they R. I’m not upset about any of it in any way. I hope everyone that goes has a wonderful time… N while we’re addressing everything, Lil Kim and I a r not “friends” I take that term very seriously. We made wonderful music. That is it.
She wrote a little more, but you get the gist of it.
Meanwhile, Trina was direct and to the point:

Black Woman Kicked Off Amtrak for Talking Too Loud
A black woman was kicked off an Amtrak train after she had a verbal altercation with other passengers who complained that she was talking too loudly on her cell phone.
Lakeysha Beard of Tigard was charged with disorderly conduct after police said she got into a “verbal altercation” with train passengers on Sunday.
The train’s conductor stopped the train in Salem, Oregon and called police after the incident between Beard and passengers had escalated.
Beard told KATU she was indeed talking on her phone, but said she didn’t understand why she had to be escorted off the train.
Of course she didn’t.
Beard is your typical, loud, rude, black woman who feels she is entitled to trample on other people’s rights simply because she was born. She probably wonders why no man wants her, too.
Thanks to loyal reader Monica Williams for the tip!
Celebs Out & About: Kanye West, Keri Hilson, Amber Rose
Troubled musician Kanye West and a male friend were spotted visiting tennis legend Boris Becker on his yacht in Antibes, France yesterday. Kanye greeted Boris and his wife, and he made small talk with a striking brunette. There was no sight of the mystery blond that Kanye was kissing on a balcony in Cannes in pictures that had tongues wagging earlier this week. One thing we do know: she isn’t swimwear model Kate Upton.
Recording artist Keri Hilson performed live during the BMI Pop Music Awards at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California yesterday. Keri needs a hit song to keep up with the Jordin Sparks’ and the Ciaras. She can only stand on red carpets looking pretty for so long before the paparazzi get bored with her.

Kanye’s ex-beard Amber Rose was spotted wearing red contacts in London today. The ex-stripper is having difficulty keeping the spotlight aimed on her for longer than a minute. Her romance with smoked out rapper Wiz Khalifa isn’t bringing her the attention she had hoped for. So my spies tell me that the enterprising opportunist has her sights set on someone else who has the juice to keep her 15 minute clock running smoothly (no, it isn’t Kanye).

Maria Shriver Appears On Oprah’s Final Show
Just days after announcing a separation from her serial cheater husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a proud Maria Shriver appeared as a special guest on Oprah‘s Final show taping yesterday in Chicago.
Shriver, 55, moved out of her Brentwood mansion in January after finding out about her husband’s affair and love child with the household maid. According to London tabloid the Daily Mail, Shriver miserable in her marriage to the 63-year-old sperminator, but she stayed in the marriage for the sake of her children.
Shriver displayed the same lionhearted strength and courage as her mother’s generation of submissive women who stood by their man and put their own needs on hold in order to further his career.
She bravely supported Schwarzenegger, even in the face of damning evidence of his rampant cheating. Little did Shriver know that her husband, whom she gave up a promising TV journalism career for, was pursuing and humping his homely maid in every room of the house that they shared with their children.
Shriver and Schwarzenegger have four children together, Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.
Both Shriver and the maid, 50-year-old Mildred “Patti” Baena, were reportedly pregnant around the same time with their sons. Shriver was led to believe that Baena’s son was the spawn of her then-husband, who later filed for divorce from Baena.
Two of Shriver’s children, Katherine and Patrick, changed their Twitter.com screen names from Schwarzenegger to Shriver in support of their mother yesterday.

TMZ Obtains Pics of Arnold’s Former Maid and illegitimate Son
It hasn’t even been 72 hours since former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a love child with his maid. TMZ.com has already obtained the pictures of his former housemaid and their spawn.
TMZ solicitously obscured the youngster’s face, but the boy is believed to be about 10 or 11 years old.
Another woman, a stewardess who worked on board Schwarzenegger’s private jet for years, was believed to be the mother of his child. But her son was too old to be sired about a decade ago.
The mother — Mildred Patricia Baena (she goes by Patty) — was a housekeeper/assistant for the family for more than 20 years. Her jobs included cleaning, laundry, cooking and other chores.
Sources tell TMZ — in the late 90′s Patty began to “pursue Arnold.” She told friends they would have unprotected sex during the day at the house. Patty never slept overnight at the house and no one ever caught them in the act.
We’re told when she became pregnant, she didn’t tell Arnold he was the father. Arnold didn’t learn he was the daddy until the boy was a toddler.
Patty — who made $1,200 a week — was treated well by Arnold once he found out. Sources say Arnold was always “generous.”
Patty — who has recently retired — now lives in a 4 bedroom house with a pool, several hours outside of L.A. with the boy and her 3 other kids.
Rihanna Director Promises ‘Shocking’ Video for “Man Down”
Troubled singer Rihanna was spotted waiting for her ride outside her Los Angeles hotel today. Rihanna wore a black long sleeve tee with a print screen of legendary reggae star Bob Marley on the front. The 23-year-old Barbadian had just attended a business meeting at the hotel to discuss the marketing push for her next music video, “Man Down” which was filmed in Jamaica last month.
My sources tell me that business meetings with the singer rarely go well because her attention span is amazingly short.
“Man Down” is a reggae-influenced track in which the Barbadian singer shoots a man after an argument.
Video director Anthony Mandler gave MTV the scoop about the music video:
“We shot the video last month in Jamaica and it’s my favorite song she’s ever recorded, so I was really excited to get involved. And it’s just one of those songs that demands a strong narrative and visual, and let’s just say she let me go all the way.”
Mandler proceeds to unleash just about every available adjective to describe his enthusiasm for the project: “I think you can expect something that’s dramatic and shocking and intense and emotional and uplifting and enlightening.”
Based on Mandler’s description, it sounds like we can expect to see RiRi getting a little gangsta as she acts out the lyrics. This should be good!
‘Man Down’ appears on Rihanna’s album ‘Loud,’ which in only six months of release has produced the hits ‘Only Girl (In the World),’ ‘What’s My Name’ and ‘S&M.’ Source
