			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes family can get you into trouble.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take <strong>Beyonce’s </strong>cousin and tour manager, <strong>Marlon Beyince</strong>, for example.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beyonce’s kinfolk had some choice words about <strong>Rihanna</strong> after viewing <strong>Jay-Z’s</strong> new video for the single, “Run This Town” from the forthcoming <em><a href="http://www.bet.com/Music/news/musicnews_jayzdeliversalbum_7.20.09.htm?wbc_purpose=Basic&amp;WBCMODE=PresentationUnpublished" target="_blank">Blueprint 3</a></em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then [allegedly] (but look below) went in on <strong>Cassie</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shortly thereafter he deleted his tweets, but once something is out there, it’s out there.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And it didn’t take long for someone to screen cap his obvious mistake.</p>

<p>Ya’ll know the Knowles’ don’t get down like that.</p>
<p>Word to the wise, Marlon: Now is not the time to be goofing up online.</p>
<p>We’re in a recession. Cousins can get the clap back from employers, too. Another mistake like that and someone’s going to be dipping their hand in hot gumbo juice.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When your dad is a wrestler yet you look like you’re big enough to body slam <em>him</em>, I suppose it makes sense to be bitter over the fact that no one is checking on you as the next big pop star.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe that’s why <strong>Brooke Hogan</strong> is talking trash about <strong>Beyonce</strong> and <strong>Cassie</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In an interview on Sirius radio, Big Body Brooke had this to say about Queen Bey:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>&#8220;She needs to go sit down and make some babies and chill. She&#8217;s talented, don&#8217;t get me wrong, she&#8217;s talented but just give it a break.&#8221;</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Says the chick who can’t sing, can’t dance, and makes <strong>Khloe Kardashian</strong> look like Tinker Bell.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for Cassie, <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/cassie%E2%80%99s-still-talking-about-%E2%80%98those%E2%80%99-pictures/" target="_blank">she described the lady parts</a> of <strong>Diddy&#8217;s</strong> special friend as “all stretched out.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone needs to inform Brooke that Hulkamania doesn’t have ish on Pimp Daddy Knowles.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You don’t want Tina and Mat to tag <strong>Solange</strong> in and have you pinned to the mat, so I suggest you pull back on the shade you’re throwing and sit your giant self down somewhere.</p>

<p>Man down! We have a code 10 situation! Keyshia Cole has joined the likes of <strong>Cassie</strong>, <strong>La La Vasquez</strong> and <strong>Raven Symone</strong> in the half-baldie club. (Guess she needed some attention after her mom and sis are grabbing it all recently on the Frankie &#038; Neffie show?)</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I think Keyshia&#8217;s version with the Kool-Aid red stars is the best version of the hair style so far (and points for at least trying to be a little different with this fad) but is this seriously going to be the next big trend in celebrity hair? I can&#8217;t! </p>
<p>Folks try so hard to look different that they still all end up looking the same. Sigh. I wonder who&#8217;s going to be next? </p>
<p>It&#8217;s going to be interesting to see these chicks in a couple months when this mess starts growing out (we&#8217;ll be back to the tracks for sure). </p>
<p>In the meantime, what do you think of Keyshia&#8217;s new do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4159" title="kanye" src="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/bet-blog/assets/2009/07/kanye-242x300.jpg" alt="kanye" width="242" height="300" />When I think of an intern, I think of an office&#8217;s low man on the totem pole running around getting coffee and making copies for a grueling  summer. What I don&#8217;t think of is <strong>Kanye West</strong>!</p>
<p>Apparently, the &#8220;Louis Vuitton Don&#8221; (who we&#8217;ve seen front row at some of the most notable fashion shows in the world) has been secretly interning at The Gap, of all places.  A source told <em>US Weekly </em>magazine:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>He works all the time, and one Friday night recently he stayed until 12 a.m.! He is learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>According to <em>New York</em> magazine this may not be his first &#8220;internship;&#8221;  he&#8217;s rumored to have also offered his services (for free!) to Louis Vuitton and Raf Simons last year. Hilarious! If this is true, at least he&#8217;s serious about actually learning the industry! I&#8217;m about tired of seeing celebrity crap on the shelves just because someone likes clothes and thinks they can be a designer (but <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/shake-it-in-your-sashas/">I&#8217;m not calling any names</a>).  Hopefully he checks that ego at the door, though!</p>
<p>In other news, <strong>Lil&#8217; Wayne</strong> is scrapping scheduled concerts at the last minute, <a href="http://www.bet.com/Music/News/musicnews_waynesuedfornoshow_2.18.09.htm">again</a>. According to a press release, Wayne has been ordered by a doctor to rest and thus will not be able to reschedule the tour, which was to make stops in Denmark and London.  Hopefully it&#8217;s nothing serious, like er, an unwanted condition from <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/another-day-another-pregnancy/">&#8220;loving&#8221; every girl</a> <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/weezy-likes-the-asian-persuasion/">in the world</a> (that&#8217;s just not sanitary Weezy F Baby!) or a fallout from <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/weezy-whatcha-puffing-on/">his other seemly favorite pastime</a>. If you were looking forward to seeing him in concert in the States don&#8217;t fret: his US tour that runs from July 27-August 23rd is still scheduled.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4160" title="raven-symone" src="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/bet-blog/assets/2009/07/raven-symone-300x243.jpg" alt="raven-symone" width="300" height="243" /></p>
<p>Looks like <strong>Raven Symone</strong> came back to claim what was hers! The actress has recently been spotted in the &#8220;half-head shave off&#8221; hairstyle we&#8217;ve been seeing more of as of late.  Now you may think that<strong> </strong><a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/meet-the-new-cassie/"><strong>Cassie started this trend</strong></a> (that <strong>La La Vasquez </strong>also eagerly picked up) but don&#8217;t get it twisted, Raven also had this hairstyle back in &#8216;08. No matter who was the first girl to shave off a track, I hope we see the end of this madness soon!</p>
<p>Until next time, have a great 4th of July weekend folks! Get down on some BBQ and enjoy yourselves!</p>

<p>In the aftermath of the latest nude picture leaks,  <strong>Rihanna</strong> kept a game face while court side at the Lakers vs. Magic game this weekend, while <strong>Cassie</strong> spent time in Los Angeles busy doing promo work for her (ridiculously delayed) sophomore album.</p>
<p>In an interview with JoJo Wright of LA&#8217;s KIIS FM the singer was all too willing to discuss her <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/i-see-london-i-see-france/">nudie pictures</a> (before plugging the album and her latest singe &#8220;Must be Love,&#8221; of course) saying she&#8217;s  &#8220;somewhat close&#8221; to finding out who  leaked them (Riiight.) from her email account where they were saved after she sent them to a significant other:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It was in an old email from like last year that I had. Actually a Gmail, Gmail is sometimes the worst. That’s how I got a lot of songs leaked too at the same time.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>What’s that Cass? You just happened to have your naked pictures leaked at the same time that your new music was leaked which just so happened to be around the same time you <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/meet-the-new-cassie/">shaved your head half-bald</a>? Girl bye! I&#8217;m sure these neat little coincidences have nothing to do with the fact that you can’t sing a lick, can’t dance and need some kind of push to make sure somebody buys this album so you’re not sitting in a cubicle come 2010?</p>
<p>Besides some obvious publicity for the album that supposedly now comes out on June 30th, the singer has apparently gained a valuable lesson (I can’t keep a straight face) from the debacle about sending pictures of herself in the buff:</p>
<p><em>“I’ve learned not to send a picture through email obviously….everybody can learn from this situation: don’t send pictures though email! Don’t do it!”</em></p>
<p>Thanks for that. The world really needed to hear that moral of the story because we&#8217;ve <em>never </em>seen anything like this before.</p>

It’s been etched into our brains that the more you spread your legs the greater chance you have of being successful in entertainment.

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been etched into our brains that the more you spread your legs the greater chance you have of being successful in entertainment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, with an ever declining music industry and a severe economic recession does the adage “sex sells” still ring true?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apparently not for <strong>Cassie</strong>. A few weeks ago the world got a peak into her…well…everything when <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/i-see-london-i-see-france/">nude shots of her leaked to the web</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some saw it as a publicity stunt to generate interest in her project. It’s a good thing Cassie has denied that because it hasn’t helped anyway.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/have-cassie-and-rihanna-s-sales-been-affected-1003973745.story"><em>Billboard</em></a> reported that despite all of the attention Cassie received, sales of her single, “Must Be Loved” remained stagnant at 2,000 downloads the week of the leak and the week after.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sales for <strong>Rihanna</strong> actually dipped.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then there’s <strong>Ciara </strong>who pretty much channeled her inner 90s Cinemax movie in the <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/music/soundOff/video-ciara-performs-love-sex-magicnever-ever-on-snl/">“Love, Sex, &amp; Magic”</a> video only to debut under <strong>Chrisette Michele</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>So do you think sex still sells?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Think long and hard about your answer…and remember that there’s free porn all over the internet.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">By now you know that last week seemed to be crotch week in the worlds of pop ‘n B.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although Def Jam, Bad Boy, and <strong>Chris Brown’s</strong> camps are handing out cease and desist orders to various gossip blogs who have posted snapshots of those three playing peak a boo on their cell phones &#8212; most suspect that none of them have any real legal leg to stand on.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That means there’s no stopping <strong>Rihanna’s</strong> breasts and <strong><a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/i-see-london-i-see-france/" target="_blank">Cassie’s</a></strong><a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/i-see-london-i-see-france/" target="_blank"> crotch</a> from continuing to spread across the net.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, if it’s any consolation to them, they may not be the only ones with their bodies on blast&#8230;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to <a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/exclusive-scoop-cassie-rihannaguess-whos-next/">Miss Info</a>, there may be more celebrity shots on the way from the likes of <strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong>, <strong>Jamie Foxx</strong>, and <strong>Christina Milian</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand we all have our dirt and that everyone deserves the right to privacy, but if there’s been a longstanding trend of people leaking sex tapes and hacking into cell phones and email accounts of celebrities &#8212; why would any star in their right mind set themselves up for failure?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>And be honest: After you saw caught sight of Cassie and Rihanna’s goodies, didn&#8217;t you think to yourself, “<em>Yeah, let me go delete those photos off my phone</em>?”</strong></p>

Oh, Cassie. We&#8217;re so embarassed for you.
In case Cassie isn&#8217;t on your Google Alerts, Diddy&#8217;s &#8220;artist&#8221; is back in the news again for something unflattering.
The 22-year-old singer says that laptop hackers are responsible for leaking some topless photos of her. Girl, stop.

<p>Oh, <strong>Cassie</strong>. We&#8217;re so embarassed for you.</p>
<p>In case Cassie isn&#8217;t on your Google Alerts, <strong>Diddy&#8217;s</strong> <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/cassie-and-diddy-altar-bound/">&#8220;artist&#8221; is back </a>in the news again for something unflattering.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old singer says that laptop hackers are responsible for leaking some topless photos of her. Girl, stop.</p>
<p>&#8216;It seems that someone has hacked into my computer&#8230;that&#8217;s real foul and evil&#8230; Now stop acting like you haven&#8217;t seen a t**ty before,&#8217; she twittered after the photos got out there.</p>
<p>For all of us keeping count, folks are thinking that this is <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/meet-the-new-cassie/">yet another ploy to get her name </a>out there in the news and remind people that &#8212; wait for it &#8212; her new album comes out next month.</p>
<p>So there you have it. Cassie&#8217;s boobies are out there and yes, she has an album coming out in June. Nudity kinda worked for <strong>Kim Kardashian</strong>, so maybe you got next, girl.</p>
