New Couple Alert: Drake and Nicole Scherzinger
Pop singer, and X-Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger definitely has a type when it comes to men: she likes them light skinned and Metrosexual. The former Pussycat Doll was spotted dining with chronically single rapper Drake, who has battled teh ghey rumors his entire career.
Drake and Nicole were seen entering the popular Cecconi’s restaurant separately in West Hollywood last night.
No doubt Nicole has heard all about Drake’s bedroom skills from Bad Girls Club cast member, Catya, who unashamedly bragged in a radio interview that Drake is hung low, and he eats the peach voraciously, pits and all.
Nicole is reportedly “heartbroken” after her split from her long-term boyfriend Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton just last week after more than 4 years together. Is it too soon for her to jump back into the dating scene?
The weeks after an emotional breakup are the most trying times for women. Drake, on the other hand, is reportedly completely unavailable emotionally. He is probably not the best candidate for a woman who is looking for a stable relationship. Drake’s new found fame isn’t making his love life any easier. He’s been seen in the company of numerous video vixens and exotic strippers — not to mention bisexual singer Trey Songz.

Fired McDonald’s Cashier’s Mom Speaks Out
A grassroots campaign prompted by outraged Americans on Facebook and other social media has failed to secure the release of former McDonald’s cashier, Rayon McIntosh, from Rikers Island.
McIntosh, 31, was arrested On October 12, 2011, after a wild fight with two female customers at the Greenwich Village McDonald’s where he worked.
The fracas was caught on camera by a McDonald’s customer who uploaded the video to YouTube. McIntosh was charged with two counts of felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon, while his attackers, Denise Darbeau and Rachel Edwards, both 24, were charged with menacing, disorderly conduct and trespassing.
Darbeau suffered a fractured skull and broken arm. She is permanently brain damaged, according to her mother.
Rayon’s mother, Maureen Lucas, RN, a registered nurse, described McIntosh, who emigrated from Jamaica when he was a boy, as “a loving father who has an excellent relationship” with his 11-year-old daughter and the girl’s mother.
She thanked her son’s thousands of supporters on the family’s official website, http://www.helpfreerayonmcintosh.org.
“Not one of my son’s fellow employees or a manager stepped in to stop Rachel Edwards from attacking my son,” wrote Lucas, who added that Rayon subdued his attackers with “a small cooking utensil.”
Beyonce’s baby bump absent from latest music video, “Party”
Earlier tonight, BET premiered Beyonce’s latest music video, “Party”. Missing from the much-hyped music video (and the song) is Andre 3000, aka Dre of Outkast. In his place is newcomer J. Cole, who doesn’t quite measure up vocally to Dre 3K. Also missing from the video is any hint of Beyonce’s notorious baby bump.
Oh, of course her Stans will repeat the tired excuse that Bey filmed this video months ago — before she started showing. But if that’s the case, did she know ahead of time that she was going to be pregnant? Because it seems like she’s filmed all of her videos in a short span of time, the way T.I. did before he went off to prison earlier this year.
The music video features cameos by younger sibling Solange, Kelly Rowland, and the aforementioned Roc Nation artist J. Cole.
Tamar Braxton’s Husband Now Stable and Talking *Updated*
Yesterday we told you exclusively that Tamar Braxton’s husband, Vince Herbert, was admitted to a NY hospital after complaining of breathing difficulties. Our source told us exclusively that Vince was being treated for a blood clot in his lungs (pulmonary embolism).
Update: We just got off the phone with our source who explained that Vince underwent a procedure to place a filter (IVC umbrella) into the large vein carrying blood to his heart from his legs. The umbrella prevents multiple clots from traveling from his legs to his lungs. According to our source, Vince remains in serious but stable condition.
Additionally, our source told Sandrarose.com that Vince now has a security guard posted at his door to prevent unauthorized hospital personnel and guests from visiting his hospital room to take pictures with Vince’s famous visitors, such as Lady Gaga and Mary J. Blige. Vince previously managed Lady Gaga.
Originally posted on Oct. 26, 2011 at 3:58 p.m.
We now have more details, courtesy of Your Beyonce Fansource, who wrote that Tamar was “extremely distraught by the whole situation, and hasn’t left her husband’s bedside in New York.”
Tamar was on her Twitter.com page snatching wigs left and right last night after our story broke and a few rude Twitter users decided to come for her hubby.
Cops Hunt Man Who Raped, Robbed Woman Leaving CVS
Cobb County police are hunting a black man who kidnapped, raped and robbed a woman just after she left a CVS drug store in Austell early Tuesday morning.

fanMAIL: Draya really apologized to Laura for sleeping with Gilbert
I know I’m late on this story but this is the first I’ve heard of it. Who knew Draya Michelle slept with NBA star Gilbert Arenas? Arenas is Laura Govan’s baby daddy, and Laura is Draya’s cast mate on ‘Basketball Wives: LA’.
According to my loyal reader, Gilbert will confirm that he slept with Draya on the Upcoming BBW LA Reunion Show. And here I thought that Draya only dated Chris Brown and Shannon Brown.
A loyal reader writes:
On a few episodes back, I think, or whenever Draya was arguing with the rest of the women about the kid situation, come to find out *that’s not what they were really arguing about*. It was *edited.* Basically Laura was mad with Draya because she *effed Gilbert Arenas*. She did it at the stadium. And also Deshawn Stevenson the same night. She called her out on it. Gilbert is backing this story up. He may be telling it on the reunion show. He’s not denying it. He says he passed her on to his two homies the same day.
Here’s Draya’s apology:
Exclusive: Baby girl for Beyonce and Jay Z
According to In Touch Weekly, which has been wrong so many times before, Beyonce and Jay Z are expecting a baby girl sometime next year.
In Touch claims to have spoken with a source who confirmed the baby’s gender. We seem to recall reading somewhere that Bey’s sister Solange “Loose Lips” Knowles also said the child was a girl. But we choose to believe reports that the fetus her surrogate mom is carrying is a boy. Either way, it will still be Beyonce’s baby.
“Beyoncé is thrilled she’s having a daughter,” confides a close friend of the singer’s, explaining that while Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, would be happy to have a healthy child of either sex, she’d secretly been hoping for a girl. “She and her mother are so close, and she’s wanted to have that relationship with her own child.”
And though she and Jay-Z, 41, are like a second set of parents to their nephew Daniel, Beyoncé is a girlie girl at heart and longs to share her passion for sparkly outfits with a Mini-Me. Indeed, the singer — who adores the clothes her mom, Tina Knowles, designs for her — has been so eager to play dress-up with her baby that she’s already been breaking the bank at stores ranging from Gucci and Louis Vuitton to Gap and OshKosh B’gosh. “Her family’s afraid there won’t be anything left to buy for her baby shower in December!” the friend laughs.
