Celebrity Seed: La La and Carmelo Anthony
It should have been a relaxing day on the Beach in Miami for media personality La La Anthony and her son Kiyan. But instead Kiyan had to contend with the disruption of reality TV cameras as he played in the sand and surf.
LaLa was shooting scenes for her VH1 reality show, La La’s Full Court Life on the beach today. Although he receives a paycheck for being his mommy’s prop, Kiyan doesn’t have a say in the decision to be in the show — but his father does. Carmelo Anthony doesn’t want anything to do with the show, and friends say he allows La La to exploit Kiyan on the show “to keep the peace at home.”

Afternoon Delight: Alicia Keys
Music producer Swizz Beatz narrowly missed doing federal time on piracy charges two weeks ago. The 33-year-old deadbeat dad flossed like he was making millions off the now defunct Megaupload.com content storage website. But as it turns out, Swizz allowed the website’s real owner to use his name and likeness on the website — for free… or so his lawyer says. Of course the truth will be revealed in due time.
Yesterday, a grateful Swizz and his gorgeous wife, Alicia Keys jetted to the sandy beaches of Hawaii with their adorable 15-month-old son, Egypt, for a little relaxation.

Celebs Out & About: Rihanna, Angela Simmons, Russie Simmons
Rihanna, 23, is still on holiday in her native Barbados. She was spotted yesterday splashing in the surf with her family and friends at the beach. Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, raised eyebrows yesterday when they expressed their undying love for each other on the social networking website Twitter.com. Rihanna is typical of an abused woman who forms an unhealthy attachment to her abuser, even after he has rearranged her face, because she lacks the self esteem to move on.
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?
Morning Glory: Gabrielle Union and Savannah Brinson (in hoodie)
Yesterday we posted pics of Gabrielle Union, 39, in a string bikini playing in the surf on Miami Beach with Dwyane Wade’s sons, Zion and Zaire. What we didn’t know at the time was that LeBron James’ baby mama, Savannah Brinson, 25, and her sons, were with Gabby on the beach.
The reason being is that Savannah was covered from head to toe in a grey hoodie with black jogging pants in 80 degree weather.
According to sources in Miami, Savannah took offense at people criticizing her for trying to keep up with her more promiscuous friends who don’t care how they dress in public (such as La La Anthony). Friends say the disapproval stung Savannah and she made a vow never to show her skin in public again — or at least until her sons are fully grown with wives of their own.
We don’t know how true that is, but it does seem that Savannah is dressing more respectfully these days. Good for her!

Monica and Shannon Brown Celebrate 1 Year Anniversary
R&B Diva Monica and NBA star Shannon Brown celebrated their 1st year together as man and wife yesterday at the upscale
Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, famed for its bucolic setting on Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Georgia.
In a series of tweets on their Twitter.com accounts yesterday, Shannon and Monica expressed their love and affection for each other.
Morning Wood: Joakim Noah
Chicago Bulls star Joakim Noah, 26, was spotted splashing in the surf on Miami Beach yesterday. Unlike some of the league’s bench players — such as Matt Barnes of the Lakers — the NBA lockout isn’t hurting Noah financially. As you know, Noah is the son of tennis great Yannick Noah.
