Meet Blue Ivy: Jay Z and Beyonce Release first pics of their baby!

The world was anticipating her arrival for weeks and now we have the first snaps of Blue Ivy Carter.

Little over a month after she was born proud parents Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z have posted intimate pictures of their adorable baby girl, sharing their joy with their fans.

While many celebrities sell their first baby pictures to a glossy magazine the music megastar couple decided to take control posting the first pictures of Blue to a blog.



In one snap the singer is seen smiling into the camera while she cradles her daughter in her arms.

While the camera is out of focus on the former Destiny's Child singer, with clarity on baby Blue, Beyoncé 's blue nails can be seen, no doubt a tribute to her little bundle of joy.



The proud parents set up a blog that shows the intimate family snaps along with a message.

It read: 'We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in out lives. The Carter Family.'



There are several close ups of the adorable little girl who not only has a healthy head of hair but also displays a rose-bud mouth and almond shaped brown eyes.

In one shot the little girl is seen staring past the camera, and in another the photographer has captured the tiny bundle sleeping.

The emotional and captivating shots are the first of their kind of Blue Ivy.

Relationships & Drama: Strung Along?

Dear Ms. Cece,

I have been dating the same man for a year now, with no commitment. I enjoy our time together, but I want more out of the relationship. When we are together, things seem perfect. But when we aren't, its like I don't exist. I don't hear from him or see him. The obvious conclusion is he only wants one thing but he tells me that he is "close" to telling me that "he loves me" but that he likes me alot which means something because he never lets anyone past his "walls" whatever that means. Is it possible to get what I want out of this relationship or am I being strung along?

~Damn Fool

Dear Damn Fool,

As I sit her I literally shook my head reading your email. As women, there are times that even when we are seeing what we know to be the truth of the matter, in our minds we figure things/he/she will change. And they almost never will.

I believe it was Einstein who reasoned that "The person with the unsatisfactory behavior itself isn't crazy. The person who does the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome, is indeed crazy." Or something to that effect.

My point is when a person shows you, not tells you, how and what they are, believe them! Or cause yourself a ton of head and heart ache. After a full year of the same behavior from him, you are now looking for more, and he is showing you the same thing he has been, that he isn't interested.

The convienent "almost love" line is very telling. Love is natural, anybody should know that matters of the heart can't be controlled. So how does one guage how "close" they are to falling in love with someone? What has made him "fortify" his heart in such a way that you can't seem to penetrate after a year of dating? To be honest, this friend seems a bit selfish and you're love is good enough to take but his isn't available to you, then let his damn walls fall in on his arse!

If he was vaguely interested in more, your communications wouldn't be limited to when you're together. Just looking at the situation I would say, yes, you're being strung along. But the bigger issue is what is allowing you to feel like that is what you deserve? If any time you choose to settle in life, don't let it be on your partner. Take some time to get to know yourself and what you want in a relationship. Knowing that from the onset can help when pursuing relationship because you can eliminate those not within your standards.

Love yourself suga. That's the best starting point. Then you'll be suprised how others follow suit!

Mona Scott Speaks on Love and Hip Hop Reunion

Power 105’s on-air personality Cherry Martinez chatted it up with Love & Hip Hop executive producer Mona Scott-Young about her decision to choose a “Barbara Walters” interview format, why Teaira Marie wasn’t apart of the reunion special, rumored cast pregnancies, Somaya Reece calling her a bish and more.

“It is what it is. And listen, the thing about it is I’m probably the closest person to them, right. I’m the person drawing stories from them, communicating with them. There when things go bad, there when things are great,” says Scott-Young about the cast coming across as resentful on the reunion special.

“So, I actually see them calling out my name not as them being resentful as much as this is the person that they turn to for everything with the show. So, you know I definitely accepted that responsible and that role.”

Say Word! Neyo's Fiance Adopts 48 African Children

Neyo's fiance has just broke the African-child-adopting record previously held by Madonna and Angelina Jolie, combined! Monyetta has agreed to adopt 48 children in Swaziland, agreeing to commit almost $20,000 to foot their cost of living. Now that's some ballin big gurl moves!

Chanita Foster, founder of a charity called Beyond the Game, got in touch with Monyetta about sponsoring a child or two. Monyetta agreed, but upon seeing the 48 children featured in the brochure, she felt compelled to adopt all of them. Each child will cost $30 a month and for all 48 children for the entire year she's looking at $17, 280.

I have to admit, after watching Tiny and T.I. spend almost $15,000 on bikes to ride around their neighborhood, I'm glad to see people who are blessed, being a blessing to others.

Mama Jones: Psychotic(Official Video)

This is the official video for Nancy Jones' "Psychotic" which I have to admit was done well. I don't agree with the message but can't knock the hustle. I luvs a bish about her business. Do it Nancy!

Sidenote: I wonder how Chrissy and Jammo feel about this release, seeing as though their relationship is supposedly in a better place, yet this track seems to highlight issues between Nancy and Chrissy? Have they really moved past it and if so, will Nancy promoting what Chrissy feels is hurtful to her and Jammos relationship, cause friction in the future?

I find myself wondering who is Nancy's target audience? Would you cop a drop from Mama Jones?

BMF Leader Big Meech Says T.I. is NOT a Snitch!

From out friends at "Straight from the A"



I received a letter from Meech… THE REAL BIG MEECH… and he’s apparently heated about folks referring to Clifford “T.I.” Harris as a “Snitch”…



There is no person in the Federal or State system that can say or saying that “T.I. Clifford Harris” snitched on them. I’m tired of people spraying his name when his plea deal and sentencing transcripts is “ONLINE.” You pay $40 to get on “Pacer” and you have access to all court documents on any person in the “UNITED STATES.”

By the way, Meech’s letter is not just to me, it’s to the entire world. Long story short… Big Meech says Tip is a “100% stand up dude” and all that “Snitch” talk is just that… TALK!





Read what Big Meech want’s you to know about T.I. below..

What’s “Craccin”


I must get straight to the point because I personally have a problem with people assassinating a real stand up dude character, namely T.I., talking about he a “SNITCH” when we are living in the information era and there is absolutely no public record of this man being a “SNITCH.”



There is no person in the Federal or State system that can say or saying that “T.I. Clifford Harris” snitched on them.







I’m tired of people spraying his name when his plea deal and sentencing transcripts is “ONLINE.” You pay $40 to get on “Pacer” and you have access to all court documents on any person in the “UNITED STATES.”



They also show you any motions or appeals that’s filed within a 48 hour period. The government would never hide the fact that T.I. is a snitch because they would want the world to know that they broke him like they broke Sammy the Bull, Nicky Barnes, Rayful Edmunds, Alpo, and Frank Lucas, who snitched on his own family members.



As far as the Ohio incident in which his friend Philant got killed, Tip was subpoenaed to court and only said a van pulled alongside and started shooting. He DID NOT see the shooter or who was shooting. From my understanding, the shooters own brother snitched on HIM.



To sum it up, I put me… “THE REAL BIG MEECH” and the whole “B.M.F.” family life on the line that “T.I. Clifford Harris” is a “100% Solid Authentic Dude.”




“Loyalty is not just a word it’s a LIFESTYLE”




With respect n’ much love,

The REAL BIG Meech

R.I.P. Singer/Model Alori Joh Found Dead

This is the latest tragedy in 2012. Seems like every other day, someone is passing away. So sad, she was such a talented and beautiful woman. Rest in Peace!

RANCHO DOMINGUEZ - Authorities today said a woman found dead at the base of a radio transmission tower in the unincorporated Rancho Dominguez area near Compton apparently committed suicide by jumping from the structure.

Deputies were called to the 2200 block of University Drive at 4:38 p.m. Monday, said Lt. Christopher Bergner of the sheriff's Carson Station.

The woman, who was in her 20s, died at the scene, said coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter. She apparently climbed up the tower and jumped, Winter said. Her name was withheld, pending notification of her relatives.

So sad, she was such a talented and beautiful woman. Rest in Peace!

Webbie and Club Owners In Court over Fight

Five plaintiffs have filed suit against an East St. Louis nightclub after claiming to have suffered injuries during a no-holds-barred melee made infamous last April after video footage emerged and circulated around YouTube.





The fracas, which lasted several minutes, included pistol
whippings, body slams and several blows to the body with what appear to
be metal chairs and bar stools. One security guard was hospitalized
with a gunshot wound to the hand. During the early-morning hours of
April 3 during a Webbie concert at Blackmon's Plaza, at least three
plaintiffs were caught up in a stampede, one plaintiff was attacked by
security officers, and another plaintiff required eight staples in his
head after being clocked with a chair, according to the suit, which was
filed in St. Clair County Court on January 19.

The 20-count, 46-page liability complaint also alleges that security guards had chained an exit door shut, preventing anyone from escaping the battle royal.
After the videos circulated, the Illinois State Police opened an
investigation. Meanwhile the city of East St. Louis suspended Blackmon's
liquor license for two weeks and hit the club with a $1,000 fine.

In addition to Blackmon's Plaza, the plaintiffs name Trill
Entertainment and its chief executive officer as defendants, saying they
negligently failed to prevent an attack, failed to warn of the
possibility of an attack and failed to provide adequate security.
The plaintiffs are seeking a judgment of $305,757.05 and compensatory
damages of more than $800,000, in addition to punitive damages.
