Thanks to loyal reader Nekita for these pics of Fantasia and Dro at Club Blackties in Raleigh, NC. According to Nekita, Fanty was Dro’s “special guest” joining him onstage although she didn’t perform.
Nekita said: Now, they could just be friends but they were looking real extra cozy to everyone. And why would she be there anyway as his special guest because she didn’t perform. I honestly believe they are a couple.

Video: Song written for Whitney Houston by the pedophile
R. Kelly wrote a song on Whitney Houston‘s new album. This is the song that R&B diva Monica told me she heard and loved. I wish they would release Whitney’s album or at least give us a release date to ease our suffering. At least we know when Mariah comes out. Help is on the way!

Eva and her boyfriend celebrate the Compound’s Grand Finale last night.
Most of Atlanta knows that the Compound closed its doors last night to make way for the new Vision nightclub. If you’re in the ATL you know that Vision was the crown jewel of Atlanta nightlife before it shut down in 2006. A host of celebs made their way to the Compound for the Grand Finale hosted by Frank Ski (V-103 Morning Show) including Akon, Eva the Diva, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Jazze Pha, Bu, Young Jeezy and more.
Photos of the Day: 50 Cent & Kanye Bear
I realize this is an old photo of 50 Cent but I’ve never seen it before. This pic was taken when Fiddy visited V-103 during that ridiculous public feud/publicity stunt between 50 Cent and Kanye West.
Special thanks to Fred Anderson/V-103 for the pics!
Correction: Ricco Barrrino is not signed to Grand Hustle
My regular readers know that I strive to maintain credibility on my site. If I write an erroneous story I will make a retraction. Last week I wrote that Fantasia Barrino‘s brother Ricco Barrino was signed to T.I.‘s Grand Hustle. But according to Ricco’s publicist that information is incorrect. But Ricco does write songs for Grand Hustle artists. As you know, Ricco will make his star turn on American Idol this season.
Speaking of Fanty, she drove the kids crazy in Decatur over the weekend as she performed for not one, but two gay clubs. I hear she walked away with a cool $28,000 for performing every title in her catalog. They say she had to be pulled off the stage at 2:30 am Saturday night so she could go sing Happy Birthday to her alleged boyfriend Young Dro at Club Crucial.
If the rumors are true about Fanty and Young Dro, that would bring the total list of women that he’s seeing on the side to three – including his baby mama.
Read the publicist’s email after the break.
Photos of the Day: Still Beautiful!
Legend Diana Ross is still beautiful at 63 – even when she’s in bad need of a re-weave, touch up and rinse.
My sources tell me Rihanna is seeing the same dermatologist who worked wonders on Alicia Keyss facial acne. Rhi Rhi suffered a bad skin eruption that has steadily worsened over the past week. Rihanna has been advised to curb her appetite for sweets, increase her water intake and to begin the same expensive mustard facials that Alicia and other celebs have used to restore their beauty and glow.
