Could Ne-Yo already have another baby on the way? Blogger Sandra Rose says a source close to the R&B singer’s camp claims Ne-Yo and “friend” Monyetta Shaw are expecting another child.

Shaw is referred to as a “friend” because Ne-Yo notoriously noted in an interview last year: “I have a friend, not a girlfriend. She’s carrying my child but knows I can’t commit. She doesn’t mind other women.” If Shaw turns out to be pregnant four months after giving birth to Ne-Yo’s first child, it’s quite clear the two are still very friendly.

Shaw and Ne-Yo both currently live in Atlanta. According to Rose, Shaw runs a high-end boutique in the Buckhead section of the city.

If it’s true—congrats! Ne-Yo makes his film debut in Battle: Los Angeles, which is in theaters today.

Lady Gaga goes hard on her “out of the box” performances and clothes, but will she agree to do a country music song with Ne-Yo?  That’s what he hopes.

“I’ve reached out to GaGa and our people are talking. It would be amazing if we could do a country and western record, something totally unexpected,” Ne-Yo told The Daily Star. “I love what she and Beyonce did on ‘Telephone’ and ‘Video Phone’ as they were both very distinct styles.”

While he waits for the word on the Gaga duet, Ne-Yo has been busy working on Beyonce’s new album: “I’ve been in the studio with Beyonce recently working on her third album and I’m really excited about it. It’s a little bit classic Beyonce and a little bit unexpected direction,” he said.

Uh, I hope he’s not trying to turn Beyonce into a country singer too!

Hip hop and R&B have had mash-up moments with country in the past : T-Pain and Taylor Swift joined forces at the CMT Awards to perform the song “Thug Story” and Nelly and Tim McGraw recorded that song “Over My Head” back in 2004. Come to think of it, I hated both of those songs, but maybe Gaga and Ne-Yo could pull it off.

Do you think a country track with Lady Gaga is a good idea or is Ne-Yo on one?

Ne-Yo is gearing up for the birth of his baby girl.

It seems the R&B singer-songwriter is working with his friend (not girlfriend, but friend who is his baby mama….got it?), Monyetta Shaw at getting everything together in time for Shaw’s January delivery date.

While at Denise Rich’s apartment, Ne-Yo told Page Six that he bought a Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Panamera because both have room for baby seats.

Clearly royalty checks are treating him well.

Ne-Yo also says he’s redecorating his home to make it baby proof for his daughter, whom the parents planNe-YoN to name Madeline.

As he explained to Page Six, “That’s all I need is little Madeline to push a sculpture down on her head. Can’t have that.”

He’s also doing his best to take care of the pregnant woman in waiting.

That includes going on various runs in the middle of the night when need be.

Ne-Yo explained to the New York Daily News: “I’m learning that pregnant women like to cry a lot… and yell for no reason whatsoever. You just have to let that happen. If it’s ice cream at three o’clock in the morning, you have to get up and go get her the ice cream.”

Ne-Yo has been battling rumors about his sexuality on and off since he first made his way onto the scene.

It’s sort of a rite of passage for every male R&B singer. Plus, no shade, Ne-Yo, you used to go by the name “Go-Go” — I’m just saying…

However, the man has maintained his straightness for years and more recently has spoken out against those who are way too invested in his bedroom habits.

Ne-Yo may be ready to let people think what they want, though. In a recent radio interview, the singer-songwriter-producer extraordinaire and daddy-to-be says he realizes that no matter what he says, people will think what they want.

He explained to one radio personality:

“You know what, it really don’t make sense to talk about it no more because in the eyes of some people there’s nothing I can do to prove to them that I’m straight. So I figure if you don’t believe that I’m straight [then] that’s a problem for you, not for me because the people that know, the people that matter know that I’m not gay so it is what it is.”

After the jock noted his baby on the way confirms he swings one way (not necessarily, but we get it, right?), Ne-Yo added:

“Even that [people say], ‘He ain’t really making no damn baby that’s him saying that so we don’t think he gay no more.’ You know what? Ya’ll go ahead and think what ya’ll wanna think in the meanwhile I’m gonna live my life. I’m gonna live this champagne life and I’mma love it.”

Can we leave homeboy alone?

Ne-Yo may be “very very very excited” about being a first time dad, but he’s not anticipating tying the knot with the mother-to-be.

There was chatter that the singer popped the question to his girlfriend Monyetta Shaw right around the time he announced they were expecting, but it looks like his girl will remain “Miss Independent.” When random Rock Candy asked  Ne-Yo if he was getting married in a recent interview he respond “no, just a rumor” with zero hesitation.

Back in 2005 Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend Jessica White had a baby, which the singer believed was his but ultimately discovered the kid (who was named Chimere, after Ne-Yo’s middle name) was not his son. After all that, I wouldn’t blame him if he was holding out to put a ring on Shaw until somebody confirms he is the father.

Ne-Yo just announced that he’s about to be a father! He confirmed with Ebony magazine that he is expecting his first child with girlfriend (who knew?) Monyetta Shaw. “I am 30 and I do have my first child on the way, and I’m very, very, very excited about that,” he said. “It’s a New Year’s baby and I’m just in a really good place right now.”

Now you may remember Ne-Yo mentioning a son when he first came on the music scene and yes, the singer has had some practice being a dad. He told People Magazine back in 2007 that he was raising his ex-girlfriend Jessica White’s son as his own, after the boy’s biological father split.

Ebony reports that Ne-Yo was in Beverly Hills when he first heard the news of his latest tot, and skipped the ASCAP Awards to fly to Atlanta and be present for the baby’s first ultrasound. Apparently the couple was unable to learn the sex of the baby because of the positioning leading Ne-Yo to joke that the baby is “stubborn.”

Congrats!

Am I the only one who can’t stop hearing “have a baby by me baby be a millionaire”?

It appears Ne-Yo and his longtime girlfriend, Tennille Jimenez, have broken up.

Considering he brought her to Cannes, Prague, and every major award show that we know of, my condolences go out to Tennille for losing a man who will be collecting royalty checks for the next 50-11 years.

But, don’t cry too hard for Tennille. Judging from the YBF, she should be alright.

They report:

YBF just learned from a member of Ne-Yo’s camp that he and Tennille actually split back in August.  The reason is unknown but it is believed that the two are still on good terms with each other.

Such “good terms” that Tennille got parting gifts right after the break-up– a condo and a car.  So Ne-Yo laced his ex with property?  Damn.  Must be nice.  We actually liked these two together…

A few weeks ago Tiffany Evans raised eyebrows when she rent on a rant about “satanic” practices in the music industry, specifically blasting Rihanna’s new single “Russian Roulette”, a song she thinks is glorifying suicide and the devil. The lyrics start off: “Take a breath, take it deep/Calm yourself, he says to me/If you play, you play for keeps/Take a gun, and count to three/I’m sweating now, moving slow/No time to think, my turn to go”

Now although Rihanna sings the song Ne-Yo is artist who actually wrote it and here’s what he had to say in response to Evan’s comments: “It’s definitely dark, but if you think about it, ‘Thriller’ was dark, but it’s one of the biggest-selling records of all time. Nobody’s really going out to play Russian roulette or thinking about killing themselves or nothing like that. It was just an interesting topic over a crazy beat, and who better to pull that off than somebody like Rihanna?”

Meanwhile the producer of the song Chuck Harmony wasn’t having any of it! He called Evan’s rant “beyond stupid” and “immature” and also added: “There are no satanic messages in the music. Maybe if we did a remake of ‘Promise Ring’ (Tiffany’s hit single), then Rihanna wouldn’t be a devil worshiper. People are so closed minded. The song is not literal. Like most provocative art, its symbolism. Grow up.”

Singer Omarion added his two cents to the subject in an interview with TheBoombox.com and elaborated on the music industry’s “dark side”:

“I don’t personally know Rihanna’s beliefs but I think there’s a very dark and very sinister part of the entertainment business and I think it’s very visible…it really made me think that there is a [time as an artist] where there’s going to be a choice. The [entertainment] world [dictates] that you have to be with three or four women, or do this in order to get that [and] I think it’s really interesting. With God and the industry, it’s really dark. The dark side is having to get in, there’s a certain submission you need to have. Just like a gang [initiation], so to speak. You might have to do something against your moral code. I’m not saying that it’s always this way, but when you’re someone that is young and you’re coming up in the industry and you really don’t have a grip on your morals it can be very dark. The game is just about over saturation.

I don’t know if Rihanna [has fallen victim to those pressures]. I’ve never really heard her speak about it. I hope that she doesn’t believe in that stuff and I don’t think that she does, but I don’t know. It’s not just been a Rihanna thing, [there's has been religious speculation] about a lot of artists.”

Evans, like Omarion, made some good points on the music industry having a pull on an artist’s morals, but honestly I forgot she was even a recording artist before her rant so I wonder if she’s just trying to get some attention by going as far to say artists in the industry are “devil worshipers.” What’s your take on the whole controversy?

Though she may have missed this Sunday’s Video Music Awards, Rihanna still managed to be on the brains of many who attended the show.

While on the red carpet for the event, Ne-Yo was asked about his work on Rihanna’s forthcoming album.

Her frequent collaborator acknowledged that he’s been in the studio writing music with Rih-Rih and noted that fans can look forward to a new sound from the pop star.

He said listeners can expect an “angrier, edgier” sound on her next album.

He added: “Rihanna says some things on this album that you’ve never heard her say before.”

Gee, I wonder what she could possibly be mad about.

Akon was also pulled for info about Rihanna’s new project. He apparently would rather see Rihanna with a grin on her face.

He said: “I’m not supposed to say anything, but I’m going to work on as many songs as possible with her. I’m going to lighten her up. I don’t want an angry Rihanna.”

OK, so Ne-Yo took a picture with a tranny.

If I looked at the picture, I might not have known she was born with a tree between her legs, but does taking a picture with her instantly mean I’m trying to pick at her berries?

Unfortunately for Ne-Yo, this week he’s already been put on full blast for crying on stage. Now a picture of him with a woman born as a man surfaces – heightening gay rumors about him.

Normally, I’d go out of my way to talk about Ne-Yo The Ninja Turtle (No seriously, he looks like Leonardo), but in this instance, I don’t think it’s fair.

Willie from Day 26 took a picture with a tranny, but he’s not gay. Ne-Yo did the same thing, and unless there’s a Polaroid of him giving some ex-B2K member “special treatment” during a songwriting session, I’ll continue to believe he still likes the ladies with natural hips.
