Brandy May Be Preggers
Well Mediatakeout.com is reporting that Brandy may have a bun in the oven! According to their snitch, she was at the premiere of BET's "The Game" last Friday and even though the champagne was flowing freely, she didn't even have a sip!

H & H Imports’ shares shot up 355% since Fiddy signed the deal, which translated, means the company's value is up by 50 million dollars! Dayum!

Ice Cube Weighs In On Nicki Minaj


Speaking of nasty, Ice Cube has some advice for Nicki Minaj. He said, “I think she got what it takes to make a dent out here as a female MC, which ain’t easy,” he states. “As long as she sticks to the lyrics—more lyrics, less sex, more lyrics, less showing your ass—she can blow. She gotta drop a whole album and then we’ll see.”

Ne-Yo Goes Gaga
Ne-Yo has put it out in the Universe that he wants to work with Lady Gaga, so we could hear a collab from them soon! He told MTV, “That's kind of the intriguing thing that I have no idea what that song would sound like. Like, would I jump into her world? Would I pull her into mine? I don't know, but I feel like it would be interesting to see. Maybe we should get a camera crew over when that happens.”
