In related news, rumors of a Destiny’s Child reunion are false. The superstar’s publicist issued a statement to Rap-Up.com saying, “Contrary to rumors online of a Destiny’s Child reunion, there are no plans for the group to reunite for a performance or album. The rumors are false.”
The statement continued, “Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams have each moved on to successful solo careers. The members remain close, but will not reunite as a group.”
Slim Thug in Louis Vuitton Evidence Sunglasses & Gucci Icon Sneakers
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 11:24 PMRapper Slim Thug attended and performed at the VH1 Hip Hop Awards in a pair of Louis Vuitton Evidence sunglasses ($675) in red and some very limited edition Gucci Icon Temporary New York sneakers aka “The Gucci Jordan’s” (about $800). I know the designer sneaker game like the back of my hand, but I must admit that these threw me for a loop. I’m really feeling these kicks and I know many of you will also, however they were released about a month or two ago and, like Thugga said, “you can’t get these out the store no more.” Look out for his soon to be released album “Tha Thug Show”.

The battle of the Barbies is getting heated. Lil’ Kim indirectly called out Nicki Minaj at a show in New York City earlier this week. “We love her, we just want her to pay homage so we can all rock together,” she told her fans. “It’s all about respect. You respect me, I respect you. You don’t respect me, then fuck you.”
The Queen Bee continued to demand respect from her fellow femcee at another concert in Baltimore on Saturday (June 5). “I’m such a fucking trendsetter,” she said after putting on a bright pink wig. “They better motherfucking respect me.” She then performed “Crush on You” while imitating Nicki’s Barbie-like movements.
Nicki has mostly kept silent on the feud, addressing it briefly on Twitter. “Raise ya hand if u don’t have 2 diss ppl to feel better about urself. Jealousy is a disease. It kills @ a fast pace. Kisses 2 my bad bitches,” she wrote.
Both women have support from their famous friends. Drake defended his Young Money labelmate onstage, while Ray J had Kim’s back in NYC.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's Housewarming Invitation Revealed!
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 2:14 AMIt wasn't just any housewarming in Hidden Hills, Calif., Saturday night. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were providing the heat, as the couple not only welcomed A-listers to their sprawling new San Fernando Valley residence but planned to cap the celebration by renewing their marital vows on what is their sixth wedding anniversary.
"They wanted to celebrate their new home and their sixth anniversary by renewing their vows," a source tells our friends at PEOPLE. "They're excited about their new life together as a family in California and wanted to kick it off with a great party."
Among those on the 200-guest invitation list, says a source, are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
"Jen is very excited about sharing her special night with her family and friends," the source adds. "The party will be spectacular. Guests will enjoy dancing until the morning hours."
Like the invitation, the party features an art deco-theme with the colors gold and silver. The card, which features a large gold key, reads, in full:
A NEW BEGINNING
PLEASE JOIN US AS WE
"WARM OUR HOUSE"
with a
6th
ANNIVERSARY PARTY
JUNE 5TH, 2010 AT 8:30 PM
Jennifer & Marc Anthony Muniz
Renewing their vows is becoming something of a tradition for the couple – who got the ball rolling for the first time in 2008. That year – which also brought the February birth of their twins, Max and Emme – they also did it up big by joining New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran and his wife Jessica for a joint vow-renewal ceremony in Las Vegas.
As for their humble abode, it is anything but. Purchased by the couple earlier this year for just under $10 million, it is spectacular and ultra private. All told, within its three acres there are nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, panoramic city views, rolling lawns, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Also inside: a fabulous 20-seat theater, a recording studio and a wine cellar.

After the singer dropped out of his latest movie, an adaptation of Ntozake Shange's 1975 play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf, less than a week before filming was to begin, director Tyler Perry had to cut short his vacation and find a replacement.
"I said, 'What? You're kidding me?,' " Perry writes in a lighthearted new letter to his fans. "It's five days before she has to go to work; nobody does that. We have a deal."
Jetting back to Atlanta where the movie is filming, he selected Thandie Newton to fill Carey's role. (She will join Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington and Janet Jackson in the cast.) Perry also discovered that the singer's doctor was to blame for her sudden departure.
"I was told that we got a call, saying that even though our deal was done, she had been advised by her doctor not to do the film," Perry writes. "I said, 'What? You know I want a doctor's note, don't you? LOL."
As pregnancy rumors surround Carey, her would-be director won't buy into any speculation. "All I know," he writes, "is that I’m waiting just like the rest of the world to find out what happened."
In the end, he doesn't hold Carey's decision against her.
"What I do know of [Carey] is that she is a professional and wouldn't back out of a deal unless it was a major issue," Perry writes. "So, whatever is going on, I wish her and Nick [Cannon] the best and she has all my love, prayers and support."
Jokes Perry: "I just wish I could have finished my Mai Tai before I had to get back and re-cast this role!"

Gwen StefaniGwen Stefani's funky style is not all her own. Gwen has said that she finds inspiration for her clothing line, L.A.M.B, from rocker husband Gavin Rossdale. (She also occasionally nicks stuff from his closet). Gavin gives Gwen ideas for clothing desgns and influences her work through his personal style.The musician-slash-designer has always been obsessed with fashion—even before she was famous. Gwen has been known to make her own clothes and stage costumes, particularly when No Doubt was just starting out. Gwen's new collection for L.A.M.B. is full of clothing that Gwen herself would want to wear. She says it's actually very selfish in that way. The collection will be full of modern '80s clothing interpetations in neutral shades with splashes of color.
Like Gwen, we've been known to snag a few things from our boyfriends too. Sorry boys, looks like your closets are about to be raided!

Singer will.i.am splashed out on a new $22,000 wardrobe after arranging a private shopping spree at designer Vivienne Westwood's upmarket store in Mayfair, London.A source said: "will.i.am turned up out of the blue and his minders arranged with the store manager to close the shop for him. He was in a good mood and went wild. He said he loves the cutting-edge fashion in London and thinks Vivienne is incredibly talented."
The producer even managed to get a hefty discount on his purchases, with staff agreeing to let him pay half-price for the items, which included a number of pieces from the women's collection.
The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "His minders negotiated a discount so he got all the stuff for £7,500 ($11,000). He wandered into the women's section and bought a few dresses and a handbag. He knew exactly what he wanted and couldn't get enough of it."

While most artists are upset when their music leaks prior to its intended release date, Drake has taken a different approach to his recently leaked album.
The rapper’s debut effort Thank Me Later hit the Internet late Tuesday, two weeks before its June 15 release date. But instead of lamenting about its appearance online, Drake addressed the leaks by tweeting, “I gave away free music for years so we’re good over here…just allow it to be the soundtrack to your summer and ENJOY! JUNE 15th!”
He previously told Entertainment Weekly that his intention was not to top the charts with the album. “I didn’t make this album for commercial purposes. A lot of the verses are extremely long. I just made it to share with people. I hope they can enjoy,” he said.
Leaks aren’t always bad news. Just ask his Young Money boss Lil Wayne, whose album Tha Carter III sold over one million copies in its first week, boosted by his Internet popularity.

Lady Gaga's friends aren't the only ones concerned for her after she almost collapsed on stage. The singer also knows she has to be more careful and is taking added precautions, especially after a recent health scare.
"I have tested borderline positive for [lupus]," she says in an interview on Larry King Live scheduled to air Tuesday night.
"As of right now," she says, "I do not have it, but I have to take good care of myself."
When asked by King how she's feeling, the pop star, 24, responds with a simple, "I'm okay," before adding that lupus, which took the life of her aunt Joanne, does run in her family.
But Gaga, who has a full slate of summer concerts lined up, and who earlier revealed she was tested for the disease, wants to reassure worried fans that she hasn't shown any symptoms yet.
