Farrah Franklin (who spent 5 months in Destiny's Child) was arrested at 6:45am Saturday morning in Culver City, CA.

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 07:52 AM PDT

Beyonce covered L'Officiel magazine for their March 2011 issue in this gold Gucci Spring/Summer 2011 stunningly luxe dress. But Naomi Campbell recently rocked the same Gucci dress for the June 2011 cover of Vogue Japan.

 

Decide who rocked it best when you read on....

 

Beyonce saluted Nigerian political singer Fela Kuti for her cover.  So she rocked this gold metallic African-inspired Gucci dress for her spread, and rocked an updo with a hairpiece, along with dark nails. 

Meanwhile, Naomi Campbell just rocked the same Gucci dress for her Vogue Japan cover.  She kept her hair straight and long with red nails to accentuate the gold.

So....

WHO RAN IT?!

Tyler Perry's "Madea's Big Happy Family" Is #2 With $25.7 Million

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 07:28 AM PDT

Tyler Perry fans supported his latest film Madea's Big Happy Family to the tune of $25.7 million dollars, but it wasn't enough to land him first place at the box office.  Get the deets inside....

 

Over Easter weekend, Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family made $25.7M during its debut weekend at the box office.  That landed the film in second place behind Rio, which made $26.8M, but there is a chance Tyler could pull ahead once all the sales are counted.

And while $25.7 million dollars is something to be proud of, The Washington Post notes that this is the first time one of Tyler's Madea films didn't open at number one and also it made less money its first week.   In 2006, Madea’s Family Reunion opened with $30 million, and in 2009,  Madea Goes to Jail debuted with $41 million.

He still brought in millions.  So it sounds like he's still WINNING to me.

Well this is an Easter celebration for the Smith's family photo album!  They were invited to the White House to spend a casual Easter Sunday with the Obamas yesterday.  And we've got pics of their arrival, plus the First Fam taking in a little church service, when you read on....

Will and Jada Smith brought the kiddies--Willow and Jaden--to the White House's Easter Festivities yesterday.  Jada looked hot as usual in her black jumpsuit, while Will and the kids kept it pretty casual.

Fun times with the Obamas I'm sure.  Speaking of the First Family, they were spotted hitting up Shiloh Baptist Church right outside of D.C. in Alexandria, VA for Easter church service yesterday morning:

Sasha looks too cute in her pink sundress and Malia, her dad President O., and mom First Lady O. all looked fab as well.  Loves them.

Dwight Howard Going After "Basketball Wives" Star & Baby Mama Royce Reed For $500K

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 06:18 AM PDT

Clearly he doesn't need the money, but that hasn't stopped NBA baller Dwight Howard from going after baby momma Royce Reed for a $500K judgment he won last year. Deets inside...

We told you previously that Dwight Howard took baby momma and "Basketball Wives" star Royce Reed to court in the state of Florida for violating a gag order he had on her. He asked for $500 Million in the suit but the judge cut that down drastically to just around $500K.  But Royce never paid up.  You know, because she has $500K just laying around and such.

So now Dwight is taking her to court in the state of California hoping he can lay claim to all her Cali assets   But TMZ reports she doesn't have many of those. As it stands now, she owes him $551,606.74 (including interest).

SMH.....Dwight must know Royce doesn't have that type of money so what is this really about?  Hmmm....

Flavor Flav Gets The "OK" To Bring "House Of Flavor" To Las Vegas + Pulls Out Of the Iowa Chicken Shack

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 09:58 AM PDT

Flavor Flav has the Perdue Family on high alert as he makes steps to expand his chicken empire.  Get the deets on where a Flavor Flav chicken joint is headed inside....

TMZ reports that Flavor Flav is all set to expand his chicken brand to Las Vegas as he opens "Flavor Flav's House of Flavor" next month...but first....he had to clean up some chicken -ish in Iowa.

Remember his chicken shack in Iowa?  Well it seems as though Flav's business partner Nick Cimino was doing a bad job running the business with bouncing checks and old food, so Flav had his attorney pull the license yesterday.   He told TMZ,

"I had a licensing agreement with Nick Cimino and that's all we had. It was his business to run from there and the business was not run right."

He continued,

"Let me be straight up with you, I went up inside there on April 2 and I found potato salad that expired on February 28. And it's then when I realized I can't do business with this man and I really hope no one ate those potatoes."

Ewww....I just threw up in my mind.  Old potato salad?  SMH...if anyone would have eaten those potatoes you would have heard from them, their lawyer and the health dept. by now Flav.
