Tila Tequila uses Twitpic to upload a picture of her ‘baby bump’
Tila Tequila deleted her Twitter count a couple of days ago, but her phantom still lives on. Tequila decided to use her Twitpic account and upload a picture of herself from a photo shoot.
Now, I’ve been around quite a few pregnant women and Tila Tequila is nowhere near 13 weeks pregnant. Granted she is a leprechaun only 4’11 and very svelte , but it doesn’t even look like she has a slight bulge. And don’t even get me started on what she’s wearing. The loser guy in the picture with her is Raz B of B2K.
Raz B decided that being managed by someone who doesn’t have a firm grasp on reality would be the best thing for his career.
Update: This is the picture Tequila posted on her blog. By the way, Tequila is now using Raz B’s Twitter account.
Ray J’s new song disses Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush
Seems like Ray J can’t do anything these days without using someone else to boost his fame. Ray J just released a song called, “Pu**y Fight”.
The song takes a jab at both Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush.
Here is a snippet of the lyrics:
Ray J: “Who you think got all these girls talking bout Kim for? And I know she with Reggie Bush, But that was Ray J’s bush, She used to blow it, used to blow it like Ray J’s Kush…”
The Game: Eat it, I’ll beat it on the days that you bleeding
I guess Ray J’s upset that Kim moved on to bigger and better things.

Singer Etta James was admitted to the hospital last week after having a urinary tract infection which ultimately turned into sepsis.
Now Etta James’ son, Donto James, has revealed that the legendary singer has been secretly battling Alzheimer’s Disease for over a year. The 72-year-old R&B star made headlines when she slammed Beyonce for singing her signature song, “At Last.”
Donto James also revealed that his mother had been treated for dependency on painkillers and over-the-counter medication earlier this year.
According to James’ son, the singer is suffering from from speech difficulties and has contracted the MRSA virus since first being treated.
Here’s what Donto James had to say:
“I am going to end up losing my mother if it keeps going on like this. There has to be another doctor out there who can tell me what is going on with my mother.”
“I want my mother back onstage again. I know it can happen.”
Miki Howard on ‘The Mo’Nique Show’
Legendary singer Miki Howard appeared on Mo’Nique’s talk show. Howard looked fan-tab-u-lous!! She definitely gives these younger artists a run for their money in the style and sound department.
Howard discussed her autobiography Always Had Shoes and sang her hit song, “Love Under New Management.” Howard released the CD, “Private Collection,” in 2008.
In case you don’t know who Miki Howard is, take a look at the video below.
