Welp. There goes the World Tour, the new album & the new single y’all. Beyonce is pregnant with baby number two.

Rumors have been swirling that she’s pregnant for the last couple of weeks, but now multiple sources confirmed exclusively to E! News that the global pop star is indeed expecting.

Rumors first began churning that the Grammy winner was with child when, earlier this month, she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing a custom-made Givenchy gown that deftly concealed her stomach, its bodice cinched high above the waist just as its intricate pattern made it difficult to discern any change in her silhouette.

Speculation then went into overdrive Tuesday after Beyoncé was forced to cancel her Mrs. Carter Show performance in Antwerp, Belgium, after doctors advised her to rest “as a result of dehydration and exhaustion.”

Congrats to Bey & Jay on Blue Ivy part 2. I hope she cancels the rest of the tour & look out for the health of her little one, which is much more important.

23 year old South Carolina native Candice Glover won season 12 of American Idol. Candice is the first female & first black girl to win the show since 2007 with Jordin Sparks.

The R&B/soul singer celebrated with a rendition of her first single, “I Am Beautiful,” pointing upward when the song reached its verse of “He says I am beautiful.” The single will undoubtedly be a part of Glover’s debut album, which host Ryan Seacrest announced was available for pre-order directly after the show.

Watch her perform her new single ‘Beautiful’ below…

Usher won’t be returning to NBC’s ‘The Voice‘ after this season. ‘The Voice’ is that singing competition that i really don’t care for, that never produces any stars.

Last year, original judges Christina Aguliera & Cee-Lo Green decided to leave to focus on their failing music careers. Usher & Shakira were brought on as temporary replacements, for whenever Cee-Lo & XTina decided to return to the show.

The other day it was announced that XTina was returning to the show, which means Shakira is out. Usher’s representatives confirmed his exit to US Magazine:

”Usher is doing a movie, so he couldn’t do season five if they wanted him to.”

It’s official. Wanita “D. Woods” Woodgett will not be a part of the Danity Kane reunion.

The singer released a statement today…

“It has been brought to my attention that my former group members of Danity Kane will be reuniting and while I will not be a part of the reunion; I wish the ladies blessings and much success on their endeavors.”

“My focus is on the future and all of the exciting opportunities it holds, I thank you all for your continued support and I cannot wait for you to hear my new music and see my theater and film projects. Please visit my website for news and updates on my upcoming projects www.missdwoods.com Blessings and Love.”

D. Woods was one of the three strongest vocalist in DK, along with Aundrea & Dawn. Although i’m excited to see DK reunite, i’m not sad at all that D won’t be with them. One apple won’t spoil the bunch & she can easily be replaced.

Kelly Rowland opens up big time in her new single ‘Dirty Laundry‘. In the song she talks about being in an abusive relationship & opens up on her jealousy of Beyonce.

Check out some standout lyrics:

‘Started to call them people on him, I was battered. . .’

‘I was mad at everybody, I mean everybody. . .’

‘Five years later, I got my ish down packed. . . think I had it good and they don’t know how bad..’

‘Post Survivor, she [Bey] was on fire, who would want to hear my bullish-t ..’

It’s a very raw/emotional track. Listen below…

Love is in the air! It’s official, Lisa Raye McCoy has been dating Grace Jones’ twin brother, Bishop Noel Jones.

Rumors begin to circulate that the two were engaged last year, but McCoy quickly shot those rumors down. Bishop Noel Jones has been cast on Oxygen’s new reality series ‘Pastors of L.A.’ & according to AlwaysAList.com, their relationship will be featured on the show.

“I was really surprised that they were so open about their relationship. I heard the rumors that they had been dating, but all doubt was removed watching this show,” explained our source.

On the pilot, there was one scene where Bishop Jones was criticizing some of McCoy’s wardrobe selections for church.

“He basically told her that he wasn’t sure she was ‘Godly enough’ for his world, and she in turn told him he may not be ‘worldly enough’ for hers,” recalled the screening guest.

In 2006, LisaRaye married Michael Misick, Prime Minister of Turks & Caicos. They divorced two years later.

Bishop Noel Jones was rumored to be  romantically linked with Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes. He also had an affair with former X-Factor contestant Stacy Francis, in which he fathered her last child.

LisaRaye must love being somebody’s First Lady. Good luck to them both.

The 2013 BET Awards will take place at the BET Experience in Los Angeles on June 30th. Hosted by Chris Tucker, the show’s first announced performer will be Chris Brown.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Beyonce is pregnant with Blue Ivy part 2. Today, Beyonce has canceled a show in Belgium due to Dehydration & Exhaustion.

Beyonce is currently waiting on doctors orders before making any decisions about the future of her Mrs Carter Show World Tour.

Last week, Beyonce announced that she plans on having another child after this world tour. Did that time accidentally come too early? I guess we’ll find out soon.

This is the biggest news since Destiny’s Child returned to the stage at the Super Bowl.

Pop/R&B super-group Danity Kane (the band Diddy created & later fired) are reuniting for a full new album & tour. Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day,  Shannon Bex & Andrea Fimbrez are all readying a huge comeback. The four original girls were spotted yesterday having lunch in L.A. with a new manager. Noticeably missing was D. Woods & original manager Diddy.

When asked if Diddy would be involved, Aubrey replied with “Who’s That?”

Watch below…

This is seriously exciting news that Danity Kane is coming back! We’re all looking forward to the new music & tour!

Welp, it seems like churches are becoming the new face of reality television. With Mary Mary, The Sheards, The Sisterhood & Preacher’s Daughters, Christians are now joining in on the ratchetry we all love to watch. Following the success of these shows, the Oxygen network decided to gather a few L.A. based preachers for a brand new reality show.

‘Pastors of L.A.’ will feature Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Deitrick Haddon & others.

Peep the press release below…

NEW YORK, NY – May 13, 2013–Oxygen Media has teamed up with Lemuel Plummer, the creator and executive producer of “Vindicated” and producer of “The Sheards,” and Holly Carter, creator and executive producer of “106 & Gospel” and executive producer of “The Sheards,” for the network’s latest series greenlight, “Pastors of L.A.” (working title), an authentic new docu-series set to premiere in the fall of 2013. “Pastors of L.A.” will give viewers a candid and revealing look at six boldly different and world renowned mega-pastors in Southern California, who are willing to share diverse aspects of their lives, from their work in the community and with their parishioners to the very large and sometimes provocative lives they lead away from the pulpit.

“’Pastors of L.A.’ documents these larger than life characters who are rock stars in their communities, with a fresh, unique perspective that will resonate with our young audience,” said Rod Aissa, Senior Vice President of Original Programming and Development, Oxygen Media. “By teaming up with Lemuel and Holly who are some of the best creative minds in the business and heavily respected within this community, we can deliver this authentic series with integrity, while also staying right on brand with Oxygen.”

“We are delighted to work with Oxygen to develop this groundbreaking series on the extraordinary lives of some of the most prominent pastors in America,” said Lemuel Plummer. “I come to this project with a respect and understanding of their world, having grown up as the son of a pastor and religious broadcasters.  We intend to portray the human side of these pastors and the real world in which they live and work.”

“This show documents a journey of transparency from one man to the next as they endeavor to lead others to their own truth and self-discovery,” adds Holly Carter who holds a doctorate of divinity with an emphasis on marketplace ministry and is the daughter of a pastor and an industry veteran in faith and inspirational development and programming.  “It’s a dose of reality and a pound of redemption coming from a creative team reared in the church.”

 

MEET THE CAST OF “PASTORS OF L.A.”:

Bishop Noel Jones (@BishopNoelJones)

A Jamaican born into poverty, Bishop Noel Jones has made his way to the other extreme, now living on a hilltop with a view of the Pacific Ocean, Malibu at his feet, and across the street from the former home of the late L.A. Lakers owner, Jerry Buss. The pastor of a church full of celebrities, and the brother of Grace Jones, Bishop Jones is headed towards retirement and looking for a successor who he can entrust his life’s work.  But finding the right man is harder than it sounds.

Deitrick Haddon (@DeitrickHaddon)

The son of a bishop and an evangelist, Deitrick was preaching at the age of eleven and conducting the church choir at thirteen.  At twenty-three he married the woman he was expected to marry – the lead soprano of the church choir.  However, everything didn’t continue as perfectly as the church had hoped. Deitrick and his wife got a divorce and the members of the church shunned him.  Aside from the call on his life, the one thing that helped him from hitting rock bottom was his music. A dynamic personality, singer, songwriter, and preacher, Deitrick finds himself at an impasse in life. Which road will he choose?

Bishop Clarence McClendon (@BishopMcClendon)

Bishop Clarence McClendon appears throughout the world on his weekly international broadcast, which is available in 250 million homes worldwide.  This charismatic and ubiquitous bishop has been noted for his contemporary and relevant approach to the Gospel. He believes the Gospel is not only for the down and out but for the up and out. His ministry spans from skid row to the estates of Bel Air.  When challenged about what many have called his prosperity Gospel, Bishop replies, “there is no other kind of Gospel.”

Pastor Wayne Chaney

At the age of twenty he got the call from God and has grown to become a prominent pastor of the church his grandfather built.  Fast-forward 10 years later, Antioch is the leading church in its community. With an ability to communicate complex truths in a simple way, Pastor Chaney has helped remarkably grow the church, along with the help of his secret weapon, his wife, gospel artist Myeshia Chaney. While Antioch is poised to become the next mega-church with the ability to reach millions worldwide, there’s an obstacle in the way and it comes from within Pastor Wayne’s own family.

Bishop Ron Gibson

Born in Compton, addicted to drugs before he was a teenager, a leader of the Crips by the time he was sixteen, a robber and a pimp, Bishop Ron Gibson was the least likely person to end up a preacher.  He now changes the lives of 4,500 people each week at the Life Church of God in Christ, which he started with only nine people in the congregation.  Through it all he’s accumulated great wealth, power and purpose.  However, there’s one thing he and his wife would give it all away for – a child.

Pastor Jay Haizlip (@jayhaizlip)

One of the pioneering greats of competitive skateboarding, Pastor Jay Haizlip, originally from Gadsden, Alabama, collected big trophies, bigger paychecks and high-end sponsors, but fell deep into drugs, and into the crack houses of Huntington Beach and Long Beach, California.  Back in the crack houses again, this time he’s not there for drugs – he’s helping rescue souls for the Kingdom.  Serving as Senior Pastor of The Sanctuary of Huntington Beach, Pastor Jay Haizlip reaches out to troubled youth, finding them in prisons, skate parks and the same crack houses he once shot dope in.

Usually, i’m the number one supporter for christian programming, but this program just shows people will do anything for a paycheck. I love to see First Lady’s getting into disagreements & giving us good tv, but placing Pastors on a show like this  takes it to an all time low.

I will however be watching just to see Deitrick Haddon & his new family. #MESSY.  Considering his recent divorce from gospel singer Damita –  By the way, Who knew he was still a Pastor? Black people will sit in anybody’s congregation.

Anyways, i’ll be watching, but i’d much rather see these Pastors focus on their own churches & congregations instead of doing reality tv. But hey, i’m not knocking down nobody’s hustle.

“Pastors of L.A.” premieres this fall on Oxygen. I’ll be watching!
