Philip’s arena was jumping Saturday night as the Hawks met the Caveliers yet again. Keyshia Cole sang the national anthem while her bff Monica chilled on the sidelines. T.I., Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, Polow Da Don and Keyshia’s ex and my next boo JEEEEEEEZY also took part in the festivities. Unfortunately, the Cavs pounded that “A”zzz but at least A-town supported to the fullest!

As is the norm, several A-town celebs hit up Philip’s Arena Wednesday night for game 5 of the Hawks v. Miami playoff series. T.I., Polow Da Don, Jeezy and more were spotted chillin in the “good seats” as the Hawks walked away with a 106-91 win. Check out a few courtside photos from the game:

Heyyyyy Mr. Jenkins!! *drooling*
Polow flashed his brand new $20,000 diamond ring as he posed with Teyana Taylor.
DJ Bishop from Zone 4’s Hittmen DJ’s sent over a video from their suite at the game. In it, Polow’s flossin his new jewelry and countin the stones. Hmmph. I was NOT phased by Mr. Jones’ blatent display of his wealth, I am, however, amazed by the lack of female presence in that suite! Wassup with that? Y’all didn’t even callllll meeeee!!!

I got these pictures of Monica & Rocko late yesterday after I’d already posted on the Hawks game but I couldn’t just leave them in the gallery! I figured quite a few people would want to see them and you know I would never intentionally deny you guys. So check out a few behind the scenes flix of the happy family’s day with the Atlanta Hawks courtesy of photographer FreddyO:
Poor Lil Rocko looks way uncomfortable in Polow’s arms…
A lil playtime between father and son…how sweet!

Word on the street is that Chris Brown and Rihanna are somewhere recording a “makeup” duet together and it’s being produced by Polow Da Don.
The seemingly reconciled duo have been working on a duet that Brown is hoping to include on his new album, due out later this year, a studio source tells E! News. ‘They’ve been working on it together,’ the insider says.”
The E! News story also says that award-winning record producer Polow Da Don, who has worked with Brown in the past, has been “holed up with them at a Santa Monica recording studio for the past several days.” (Source)
Apparently, Polow encouraged Chris and Rihanna to record the duet as soon as possible to capitalize on the young musicians’ “heightened emotions.” The song was originally written to be performed by just Rihanna, but Polow felt the track would work even better as a duet. The song is reportedly about a couple overcoming challenges and sources say that the recording sessions have been “very emotional” and that “the feeling in the room was pure love.” I guess their lil fighting situation is a money making opportunity for everyone. I ain’t mad at all…

Check out one of my many ‘A’ town favs, “85″ from Youngbloodz which features my boo Twan…I mean Big Boi and Jim Crow. [SIDEBAR: For those of you who just hit Hartsfield/Jackson International, Jim Crow consisted of Polow Da Don, Cutty Cartel and Mr. Mo.] Some people’s standard introduction to the “A” is I285 where they get caught up driving in a never ending loop…but I’m sure I85 is a close second, leading you from the far north straight to the ‘dirty’ south.
Happy Flashback Friday! Y’all ready for that weekly Atlanta history lesson? It’s coming…hold on!
