Halloween is rapidly approaching and this year amid the ghouls and goblins a popular costume choice will be to dress as a celebrity. Even celebrities are being celebrities: Tyra Banks showed off her Kim Kardashian costume on her show earlier this week (pictured above).

One of my friends mentioned going as Rihanna, complete with a black eye and an umbrella and having her boyfriend be Chris Brown in a community service jump suit (too soon, too soon!), here are some other ideas if you want to be one of the stars.

Michael Jackson

“Thriller” is always an unofficial Halloween anthem grab a red leather jacket, pants (make sure to show off your white socks) and a jheri curl wig and be the King of Pop in the iconic video. Points if you know the choreography when the song starts playing while you’re partying.

Lil’ Mama

With a cheap weave ponytail, a bedazzled shirt and jeans you too can be ‘Lil Mama. Run up on folks and interrupt their conversations while breaking into a thug stance or have a friend be Jay-Z (all black everything, easy enough).

Lil Wayne

Rock locks, add fake tattoos on your neck and face (don’t forget the teardrop), get a grill and you’ve got Weezy F. Baby. Just don’t break out into “Lollipop” if little trick-or-treaters are around.

Beyonce

If you’re feeling bold, try an easy Beyonce costume from her “Single Ladies” video. A leg bearing leotard, heels and a blond wig.
Tell any guy who tries to holler if he likes it…well you know the rest!

Share your celebrity costume ideas and tell us who you’ll be tomorrow night! Happy Halloween!

When Kandi Burruss’ on again, off again fiance Ashley “AJ” Jewell died two weeks ago, reports attributed his death to a brawl outside of his Atlanta night club Body Tap, but now that the autopsy is in doctors say that may not have been the whole story.

Dr. Kelly Rose of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office told E! News that A.J. may have suffered from the blood disorder sickle-cell anemia. According to the medical examiner, the condition may have restricted A.J.’s oxygen supply and exacerbated his injuries. “Preliminary results are suggestive of [sickle-cell],” said Rose. “The altercation played a role in that, and his underlying disease process contributed to his overall demise,” Rose says.

Meanwhile Frederick Richardson, the man that A.J. fought with that fateful night, has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and is currently being held in an Atlanta jail without bond. A court date has been scheduled for Oct. 20.

Baby Boy(s)

Lil’ Wayne recently confirmed in an interview with the BBC’s Tim Westwood that he and Nivea are expecting a son. This bundle of joy will be the rapper’s third son in a little over a year although this will be the 4th child for Wayne total. Let’s recap: Lauren London welcomed his second son last month,  last October his first son was born in  Cincinnati, and his only girl, Reginae, comes from ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Carter.  I wonder which baby mama’s son will be the cutest?

50 Clears The Air

There have been rumors for some time that 50 Cent and Ciara have a love thang going on and some even say he put a ring on it, but the rapper recently denied that any of that’s true. 50 Cent called into the Rickey Smiley Morning Show to talk about the new album and of course Rickey had to ask: “Are you engaged to Ciara?”

Fiddy responded “Nah I’m not engaged. That was the longest ongoing thing that they said that was never any confirmation to.“ Rickey then asked, “Are ya’ll still together” and Fiddy said “You are saying still like we was.”

Wellthere you have it, we can finally put that rumor to bed.

Talk to you next week!

Kanye West let the BET Hip Hop Awards finish this weekend without pulling another stage hijacking stunt…because he wasn’t there.

The awards, which went down in Atlanta on Saturday and will air on October 27th, brought out a long roster of names including Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne, Drake, Gucci Mane, and  Fabolous, but Kanye pulled a no show, even though he led the rap pack with 9 nominations.

Where in the world is Yeezy?

Some reports say he he might have retreated to India to find “spiritual guidance” and lay low following his infamous MTV meltdown and the cancellation of his “Fame Kills” tour with Lady Gaga. MSNBC quotes a “source close to West” who said:

“Kanye might do some dumb things, but he’s smart. He knows he needs to come back from this break changed, and that isn’t going to happen at some rehab overlooking the ocean. He goes to India, he has a chance to come back seeming like he learned something from what happened.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed if  Kanye is actually getting his Eat, Pray, Love on, or not (I’m sure we’ll see paparazzi shots of him wherever he is, soon) but at least it seems like he’s making good on his vow to “take some time off.” MSNBC also reports that he has canceled plans to perform at Madison Square Garden on New Years Eve.

Lil’ Wayne has welcome baby number three in his growing family.

Lauren London has confirmed that she gave her birth to Weezy’s son last Wednesday.

In a statement to the site HipHollywood.com, a rep confirmed the news.

The statement read: “Lauren London and Dwayne Carter welcomed their healthy baby boy into the world on 09-09-09. Everyone is happy and well.”

Baby number three can look forward to his new sibling very soon. It’s rumored that Nivea, who is also pregnant by Lil’ Wayne will be delivering very soon.

All I have to say about that is: Babies are a blessing (especially if you have money), but this is what happens when you smash every girl in the world…without a condom.

From the looks of this shot it seems someone has been enjoying their time eating for two.

As Lil’ Wayne fights off rumors about getting another woman pregnant on top of the two he’s already knocked up, one of the new baby mamas in question, Nivea, revealed an even bigger baby bump in addition to her new artists.

Via Freddy O:

Last night R&B singer Nivea held a A&R showcase and Launch event for her management/Artist development company Avalon Music Group. I have to say this was my first time really having the chance to meet her and have to tell yall she is so down to earth. She told me about everything she had going on, and how she cant wait to have her baby… she is now 6 months pregnant and loving everything that comes with being a mommy … She is now managing different artists and is about to start recording her new album…

Well it’s good to know Nivea doesn’t plan to sit around and wait for another child support check to put her two piece dinner on the table.

A lot of people waiting around for checks from trife men could learn from her.

As if four baby mamas weren’t enough (including two knocked up at the exact same time), it seems Lil’ Wayne may be making it rain on one L.A. stripper for the next 18 years.

Via Media Take Out:

“A Los Angeles exotic dancer is reportedly telling her co-workers that she’s knocked up by the platinum selling rapper.

The woman, who is of East Indian descent and works at the popular L.A. men’s club Spearmint Rhino, told her co-workers that she just learned of the pregnancy. And that she’s discussed the baby with Lil Wayne – who wants her to keep it.”

And here I thought “Every Girl” was just a song.

I don’t want to compare the man to an animal, but if Benji were knocking up every poodle on the block his owners would likely handle that.

Wayne ought to look into a vasectomy. It will save him more money than any real estate investment ever could.

If you thought Mariah Carey had the last laugh in her drama with Eminem when she released the song and video “Obsessed” think again!   Yesterday the rapper debuted a new song, “The Warning,” and served up some pretty low blows. A sample of the vile lyrics:

“I’m obsessed now? Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee/ Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out/Bi–h, shut the fu–k up before I put all them phone calls out/ you made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick/When you was on my di–k and give you somethin to smile about”

“How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count/Better shut your lying mouth if you don’t want Nick finding out….Enough dirt on you to murder you…Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?”

Whoa, bitter much Slim Shady?

Mariah and Eminem have been having drama since 2001 when they were rumored to have had a fling and she denied it. Earlier this year he dropped a song, “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” in which he calls her a “whore” and her husband Nick Cannon a “punk” among other things. Nick went to bat for his wife against Eminem on his blog and of course Mariah released ”Obsessed” last month.

We’ve seen beef between rappers, which can be wack enough (ahem, The Game waging war on Jay-Z), but what kind of male rapper goes in on a R&B star, and a woman at that?  How weak!

Meanwhile, an album that you won’t be hearing anytime soon is Lil’ Wayne’s “Rebirth.” The album has been pushed back yet again and the rapper has said he will release the LP when his Young Money label is in order. Looks like we might be waiting awhile for that to happen cause there seems to be drama. According to BlogXilla Wayne’s label  is reneging on its promise to let one of their newest artists, Nicki Minaj, rap and sing because Wayne would rather focus on the singing career of his new girlfriend Shanell, who recently signed with Young Money (and is D. Woods‘ sister, if you care).  Really Wayne?  Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to mix business with pleasure and for the love of latex haven’t you had enough girlfriends this year?

In other news, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush’s break up might not have been as peacable as they’re making it seem.  Fox 411 is reporting that the two really broke up becasue Kim was exchanging steamy text messages with Kanye!

“Reggie saw text messages on Kim’s phone from Kanye West and flipped out on her,” a source told FOX411. “The texts referenced a night they hung out, how much fun he had, how hot Kim was, and more racy things that got Reggie’s imagination running.”

I’m not sure how much I believe this, but hey, stranger things have happened!

Lil’ Wayne wears the same type of pants as men who prefer the touch of a strong hand and openly kisses another fella on the mouth yet he’s calling Michael Jackson a gay slur?

In a new freestyle Wayne quipped, “I pledge allegiance to the flag that Michael Jackson is a f-g.”

Where is Papa Joe’s belt when you need it?

I think the little codeine fiend is a nice rapper and all, but not only is that line corny, but people who walk around in tight pants with their crack out and long hair flowing down their back needn’t be trying to call someone else gay.

Baby, the next time you pucker up with Wayne, can you shove a bar of soap in there next?

Although it’s been widely reported that Nivea was joining Lauren London in the knocked up by Lil’ Wayne club, no one from either artists’ camp  ever confirmed the news to be true.

We now, however, can call it official since Nivea’s ex-husband The Dream has now indirectly confirmed it.

In a recent interview, when asked about his thoughts on Lil’ Baby Maker, Dream said:

“I’ve never met him. We’re somewhere in the grey area I guess, cause we haven’t had the chance to talk. But I wish him and Nivea the best. If marriage comes up then we’ll definitely need to have a conversation. But right now we don’t need to cause even though she’s pregnant, there’s no real commitment between them, to the point where we’d need to have a conversation.”

Thanks for the scoop, Terius.

The Game is not playing! For years the Compton rapper has been taking shots at Jay-Z, but he upped the ante recently (guess he really, really needs some publicity?) taking the drama overseas.  In a  concert in Madrid The Game repeatedly chanted “Fu–k Jay-Z….old ass ni–a” (and even got the crowd to join in!) before spitting a diss rap over Hov’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” beat. He let the low blows roll and even took shots at Beyonce rapping:

“This isn’t about Beef/This isn’t about Destiny/I’m in Madrid banging the c-p-t/You got a bad b–ch word?/Ain’t no pu–y like hers?/Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs/ I mean… I mean my b–ch don’t slang p–sy like that.”

Wilin’!  Now Jay has previously said that he won’t be responding to The Game’s taunts, but I wonder what he’ll have to say now that Bey’s name has been dragged into the picture?

In other crazy performance news: Lil’ Kim is scheduled to take the stage with Cyndi Lauper at a concert to honor South African President Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday. All I want to know is who approved that!? While I’ve been know to get down to a Queen Bee song or two, somehow I can’t imagine the elderly Mandela rocking to “Big Momma Thang” overseas. Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Queen Latifah, Wyclef, Aretha Franklin, will.i.am and err T-Pain (doesn’t he seem a little out of place on this bill too? He better not wear that “Big A– Chain” he’s been rocking as of late!). Should be an interesting production to say the least.

Meanwhile, Lil Wayne’s being sued yet again for blowing off a concert. TMZ reports that Red City Entertainment is coming after Weezy for $432,000 for failing to appear at his own concert in the Bahamas (police went to check on the rapper when he didn’t show and found him unconscious). Wayne just canceled a European tour citing “health problems” earlier this month and has been sued for flaking on concerts in the past. I don’t know what’s wrong with this man, but I know one thing: with all these baby mamas and new tots on the way, he needs to stop playing and make that money. Those child support bills are about to start piling up real soon!
