Sneak Peek: Love & Hip Hop, Episode 8 (video)
Washed up rapper Jim Jones, 35, tells his side of the marriage proposal story in this sneak peek of next week’s Love & Hip Hop. Some viewers of last week’s episode thought Jones’ proposal to his nagging girlfriend, Chrissy Lampkin, 40, wasn’t meaningful enough. But Jones, who pretends to be a hard thug in the streets, shows his soft side when describing his and Chrissy’s 7-year relationship. “That’s like, uh, the princess kissing the frog. I got my own fairy tale going on,” he says.
LeBron James Rejects $3,000 Birthday Cake Made for a King
LeBron James celebrated his 27th birthday on New Year’s Eve by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, at the Shelborne Beach Resort in Miami Beach, Florida.
According to SPLASH News, this is the cake that was made for NBA player Lebron James’ 27th birthday. The call was made 2 days before the party. The instructions: make a birthday cake that is fit for a King. The baker, Alethea Hickman, (pictured above with her royal creation) was promised publicity for her bakery Hickman’s Passion for Pastry. The Shelborne would receive the $3,000 cake as a freebie in exchange.
But Hickman was surprised to see a different cake in photos tweeted worldwide on Twitter.com on Jan. 1. After getting in touch with James’ people, Hickman was told her work wasn’t fit for the king: “It just wasn’t what was expected. When LeBron’s people saw it, they just didn’t want to use it and decided to bring their own cake.”
The cake is ugly, but at least she got the free publicity.

In Case You Missed It, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, Ep 5
In Sunday’s episode of ‘T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle‘ (which VH1 re-aired last night), Tiny’s girlfriends, Shamra Rodriguez and her hair stylist Shekinah, accompany Tiny and T.I. to Los Angeles for T.I.’s book promo tour. But while in L.A., Tiny and Shekinah get into it due to Shekinah thinking Tiny is treating her like an employee, rather than a friend.
“We will never win because you’re rich and I’m broke,” she says to Tiny. But as a loyal reader pointed out: if Shekinah is broke styling hair for celebrities, maybe she should stop smoking and snorting all of her proceeds?
But T.I. has the best answer for Tiny and Shekinah’s drama. He says, “The way I see it is this: either you can accept your salary and you can create that boundary between friend and employee, or you can be a full-time friend for free.”

In Case You Missed It: Love & Hip Hop, Ep 6
On Monday night, VH1 aired the much-anticipated “fight” between newcomer Erica Mena and Juelz Santana’s bustdown, Kimbella Vanderhee. As with Kimbella, Erica was introduced to the cast by Jim Jones’ manager, Yandy Smith, aka Don King. It is no coincidence that both women immediately began snatching wigs within 5 minutes of meeting each other.
By now we are all familiar with how these “reality” shows work. Each show has totally scripted “fight” scenes that usually commences when one cast member tosses water on the other one.
But according to Erica, her fight scene may not have been totally scripted. In fact, Erica claims that she was caught completely by surprise, and she thinks she was set up by VH1.
Celebs Out & About: Paula Patton, Dania Ramirez, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Milian, Isaiah Mustafa
The lovely Paula Patton stopped by ‘The Today Show’ in NYC to promote her movie ‘Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol’ this morning. It must be hard on Robin Thicke to be known more for being Paula’s husband than his music. I couldn’t name one song he sings, but I know who his gorgeous wife is.
