So the only reason I enjoyed the show was because Stacey Dash was the star, in my opinion I don't see anyone replacing her nor it's continued success now that she's gone. “I truly enjoyed playing Val on ‘Single Ladies’, but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the ‘Single Ladies’ shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one.” VH1 has also released a statement, “VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making ‘Single Ladies’ a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans.” Location: ATL

Us Weekly snoops claim Beyonce and hubby of two years Jay-Z will welcome the first child together (Jay reportedly already has a son with a woman in Trinidad) in the spring. Although spokesfolks for the couple are keeping the veracity of the pregnancy news under their hats, we hear that no one is more shocked by news that her uterus is now occupied than Beyonce, 29. The singer had been putting the finishing touches on her forthcoming album when she was hit with a wave of morning sickness, typically for women in their first trimester, sources say. “B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn’t ready to be a mother just yet. She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again,” says the Us snoop, who adds that Beyonce is taking the news in stride. After all, she’s already a doting aunt to nephew Juelz, 6. She realizes that “this is a gift from God and she’s so happy.” Earlier this year, Jay-Z and Beyonce, who wed in 2008, were dubbed one of the world’s wealthiest couple by Fo...

I think we were all surprised at the announcement of Beyonce being pregnant of the black carpet last night. Very unexpected seeing her grow from a teenager to now and expected mom, and to see Jay-Z so excited kinna made me almost tear up. I was on the fence about her performing "Luv On Top" as her song of choice, but the production of it made me love it. I felt it was very Janet/Michael Jackson with a do-wop feel Nicki Minaj looked very Tokyo Japanese anime it was different, but dope Breezy's performance was explosive him flying over the crowd shut it down, along with Jay and Yeezy, Gaga was actually boring to me, and I was digging Wayne's swag at the end....

Reserve officer Mike Sigur was less than an hour into his shift when one of the cast members opened the front door of the home. Tasha Malek, 23, told Sigur she had just been assaulted and wanted to file a formal complaint. Malek, wearing a pink shirt and white shorts, said another cast member in the Oxygen Network show slapped her in the face and that the two wrestled to the ground before the production crew separated them.What happened in the house, as Malek explained to Sigur, resulted from 23-year-old Natashia Townsend being unfriendly since the production began. “(T)his has been going on since the beginning,” she told Sigur. “This girl is 200 pounds, and I am prettier than her and she doesn’t like it.” In the police report, written by officer Peter Foltz, Townsend i...
