Rap legend Lil Kim attended the 2012 LA Gay Pride festivities last weekend and her choice of attire was less than fabulous.
Kim rocked a gold body suit paired with a red velvet jacket and what appeared to be a recycled blond lacefront, when she hit the stage she switched it up a bit with a black booty shorts paired with an embellished hoodie.
I dunno what’s going on…

Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta?participated in the?2012 LA Gay Pride Festival yesterday (June 9, 2012).
Leakes, who recently hosted a “tea party” in Atlanta for her fellow RHOA cast mates (including newbie Kenya Moore), seems to be further separating herself from her bff Martavious Marlo Hampton?and her?F-Bomb faux pas by getting involved in a few “gay friendly” activities.
The “happily divorced” housewife even stopped by the NoH8 booth, where she posed for photographer Adam Bouska to add her portrait to his NoH8 campaign, founded to?battle homophobia and gay rights.
Many of Nene’s RHOA cast mates (past and present) participated in the NoH8 campaign a few years back,?but it took a bit of bad press by association PLUS the decline of her gay fan base to prompt Nene to pose as well.

It was the celebrity hairstylist’s first ever drag show performance and he popped his cherry by HEADLINING the 2012 Stars of The Century Turnabout Drag Show.

[Correction: I received an email that says the girl in the photo is actually?Jamia Simone Nash who played the young Fantasia in the Lifetime TV movie Life Is Not A Fairy Tale.]
I don’t know if you caught it (cause I didn’t) but Tasia hit the stage again to sing alongside one of the finalists on the show that made her famous.
Joshua Ledet hit the stage to sing Elton John’s “Take Me To The Pilot” and when Fantasia joined him all you could hear was a collective gasp.
I think that shiny catsuit shocked the world! Hell… Joshua even looked a lil startled!
Check out Tasia (and her catsuit) performing “Fan Man” with Joshua Ledet… Continue Reading…
The net is still buzzing about Usher shedding tears a day earlier and some blogs have even put photos from the two different days together, suggesting Tameka was smirking while Usher was crying.
That was so not the case… trust me. I was there.
The photo was actually taken during a 5 minute recess. Usher was in the corner checking his phone and Tameka was grabbing crystal light out of her purse and chatting with her attorney who was standing nearby.
But that’s all beside the point. While Tameka definitely isn’t my favorite person in the world, I’m feelin some kinda way about this whole situation. Especially after witnessing Usher’s dramatic “A”zz on the stand first hand.
Peep this… Here’s at least 5 things that most sites AREN”T saying about the court case: Continue Reading…
The nasty custody battle between Usher Raymond and his ex-wife Tameka Foster Glover Raymond resumed in Fulton County Court today (May 20, 2012).
You may recall Tameka hit the stand a few weeks ago and admitted to stating she’d “F*ck up” Usher and his new boo during a heated argument and recently it was revealed that it was Usher who initiated the suit to obtain full custody of the couple’s two young sons, Usher V and Naviyd.
Earlier today it was Usher’s turn to make an appearance on the stand after performing just last night at the Billboard Music Awards.
