NYE 2012 in Miami: Ludacris, Rick Ross, Mike Epps, DJ Khaled, Terrence J, Larenz Tate
Rapper Ludacris and his lovely fiancee, Fab Eudoxie, attended the New Year’s Eve festivities in Miami, Florida yesterday. Luda hosted the Red Bull Sound clash concert where he performed in front of thousands of enthusiastic rock fans. My source tells me the bridge to the beach was grid lock, so Luda hopped into his luxury speed boat to ferry his mom and his entourage to Bayfront Park.
Other celebs, such as actor Terrence J and rapper Rick Ross, hosted separate parties on the beach as well. My sources tell me that rap mogul Sean Combs filmed part 2 of his “Luck Be a Lady” commercials at his mansion on the private and exclusive Star Island yesterday. In addition to employing extra security, Sean reportedly installed cell phone blockers to prevent anyone from tweeting pictures. You might recognize some of the guys from the Ciroc commercial in the pic below.

Solange Knowles is Off the Market
Beyonce Knowles-Carter’s baby sister, Solange Knowles, has finally found a man willing to stick around for more than a month. Okay, that was harsh. My apologies for that. But Solange has had difficulty keeping a man in the past. According to BlogXilla, Solange and her boyfriend, Allen, spent a month in Paris, France with Jules, her son from a previous relationship.
Solange posted photos from her French vacation on her blog. Since this is a gossip blog where speculation runs rampant, we wonder if Allan has a job, or if he’s sponging off of Solange who is sponging off of her sister Beyonce?
Source: ‘Sean Combs and Cameron Diaz Really Are Dating’
According to a well-placed source at Bad Boy Records, rap mogul Sean Combs really is dating actress Cameron Diaz. As you know, Ms. Diaz has run through every available male bachelor in Hollywood. So it should come as no surprise that she’s sampling the dark meat.
The couple continue to insist that they’re “just friends”, but they were seen tonguing each other down inside the Dream Downtown Hotel in New York last weekend. The 39-year-old actress and the 42-year-old rapper were caught ‘making out like teenagers’, according to Life and Style magazine.
This isn’t the first go-round for Diddy and Cameron. People.com reports that Sean and Cameron first got together back in 2008 after meeting at the Oscars. But Cameron reportedly told Sean to get back to her when he loses his old baggage, aka Kim and Cassie.
My source tells me Mr. Combs is “getting serious” about Ms. Diaz, whom he has a cute pet name for and everything. “Getting serious” is code for making sure Cassie doesn’t pop up whenever Cameron is around.
My source says he hasn’t seen Sean’s other concubines, Kim Porter and Cassie, around Sean’s NY digs “in a while”. He says Cassie has gone back into the studio to revive her recording career because she sees the writing on the wall and she’s tired of being Sean’s “rebound chick.”
Queen Latifah’s ex-girlfriend is not a happy camper
Apparently Queen Latifah’s ex-girlfriend reads the blog regularly. On Monday, personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins took to her Twitter page to subliminally tweet her ex after she saw the above photo of the Kang lunching with an athletic beauty. Jenkins wasted no time tweeting “What goes around comes around.” She followed that tweet up with “What is done in the dark will always come to the light.” But why is she mad though? Rumor has it that Jeanette is getting in full body workouts with her client and friend, Kelly Rowland. The ladies recently released a Sexy Abs workout DVD together. The DVD is reportedly flying off the shelves. Not bad for a scorned woman on the rebound.

Celebs Out & About: Queen Latifah, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey
Sandrarose.com was the first to break the news about Queen Latifah breaking up with her longtime girlfriend, personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins. But it looks like the Kang has rebounded quite nicely with a lovely young lady who is also athletic. The lovely couple went to eat with friends at Rock and Reilly’s in Hollywood yesterday. Don’t they look cute together?

According to the NY Post’s Page Six, cartoon rapper Nicki Minaj celebrated her 30th birthday in the private wine cellar of Philippe in Manhattan. Queens-bred Minaj bought herself a gigantic sparking rock to celebrate the milestone. She was joined by her boyfriend and hypeman, Safaree Samuels, and rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who dined upstairs to celebrate signing Bronx rapper French Montana to his Bad Boy Records. Also celebrating with Nicki were rapper Waka Flocka Flame, Machine Gun Kelly and recording exec Kevin Liles.

New Couple Alert: Laurieann Gibson and Juan Farmer
According to celebrity blogger Tami of Talkingwithtami.com, Lady Gaga’s ex-choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, is dating local promoter Juan Farmer, cousin of has-been music producer, and compulsive womanizer, Dallas Austin. Who hasn’t Dallas Austin dated? I bet he’s on a first name basis with the staff at the local STD clinic. Anyway, according to Tami, Laurieann and Farmer arrived together and she spotted them holding hands at one point. But when she crept closer and asked to take their picture, Farmer acted all shy.
I agree with Tami, “If a guys looks uncomfortable/awkward being seen out in public with you ladies, run like hell! #fail”
The original post was edited to reflect the fact that Laurieann is dating Juan Farmer, not Dallas Austin. Juan hit us up just now and said, “Why do I have to be Dallas Austin?”
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.
