Helluva weekend right? Let's start with Miguel accidently landing on a fan at the Billboard Awards...(she's ok, btw.)

THE KANYE WEST TAKEOVER BEGINS

The Kanye West takeover officially began this weekend. The rapper premiered his new song and visuals for "New Slaves" this past weekend on 66 buildings across the world. Some of the locations included Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Wrigley's Field in Chicago, Toronto, London, Paris and Berlin.

Kanye then performed "New Slaves" and another single "Black Skinheads" on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

KANYE NAMES ALBUM 'YEEZUS'

Kanye's manager Don C. and girlfriend Kim Kardashian also posted a photo of the cover art to the rapper's upcoming album -- which is entitled Yeezus. The cover art features a melted gold object -- which looks like a Jesus Piece. There is a piece of red duct take to the side, which says "Yeezus."

Yeezus will hit stores on June 18th.

IS BEYONCE PREGNANT OR NOT?

Is Beyonce pregnant or not? After weeks of speculation, E! News reported that several sources confirmed that the superstar is expecting her second child. The news comes off the heels of Bey cancelling a concert in Belgium last week for dehydration and exhaustion. Blogs have reported that Beyonce has bought out two baby carriages during her performance of "Grown Woman" while on tour.

When TMZ asked Kelly Rowland if Beyonce was pregnant, she responded with, "What?"

No official word from Beyonce or her rep. Beyonce performed in Milan this past weekend -- with no bump in site.

BEYONCE REPONDS

The superstar took to Instagram to respond to rumors, writing, "I can't stop the rumors from starting and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laught at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me." The post was later deleted.

While some assumed Beyonce was referring to the pregnancy rumors, others are saying that the pop superstar is responding to an interview that her uncle allegedly did with Celebuzz.

BEY'S UNCLE SPEAKS

In said interview, Bey's uncle Larry Beyince said that Beyonce's parents forced her into singing. He said, "It took away her whole childhood. Everything was geared toward being famous. She used to get angry at [her father] a lot for taking away her childhood. That affected her. I would prefer she was just my little niece, but she's a lot better off than most women."

On Beyonce firing her dad Mathew Knowles, Larry said, "I wasn't surprised she fired him [as her manager]. I'm glad, actually. One reason I was glad she got married is because she was no longer under her dad's control. He is a control freak."

On marrying Jay-Z, Bey's alleged uncle said, "He was after her and she wasn't. She told me she wasn't too particularly fond of him. I would see him with her and pictures of them, I heard rumors they were together and she told me 'no.' You know how women get that look like 'eww.' I guess she wasn't attracted to him. But as long as he treats her well and makes her happy, that's all I ever wanted. He's okay with me."

He continued, "I was surprised she married him. I think she got tired of being alone. When you have as much money as she does she has to be careful about people wanting her for her money. And apparently he had as much as she had.

LAPD INVESTIGATING DEATH THREATS MADE TO CHRIS BROWN

According to TMZ, LAPD is investigating death threats made against Chris Brown. According to sources, several threats were made to the office of Chris' attorney Mark Geragos. Geragos is taking the threats very seriously and immediately reported them to the LAPD.

GABRIELLE UNION AUDITIONED FOR 'SCANDAL'

Gabrielle Union has revealed that she auditioned for the ABC's popular drama Scandal. She told Cocoa Fab, "There's the whole group of us who auditioned for 'Scandal' that, not just fell in love with that project and Shonda (Rhimes), but the process, the level of respect that we were given even in the audition process and the world that Shonda created even for us trying. It was like, is there ever gonna be another situation for you like that?"

Although she didn't get the part, Gabby went on to talk about how successful her fellow black actresses have been in the past couple of years. She said, "Luckily they're my friends so thank God if I ever needed a loan I'd be like, 'Well, I saw you last night on 'Deception,' Megan, and I know you have money!' 'Person of Interest' is one of the top rated shows internationally, so my girl Taraji (P. Henson) is doing so well. And then all of the films that have come from the great work that she's done, and Kerry (Washington) with 'Scandal' and 'Django' and the whole world is like, Gladiator! And Thandie (Newton)'s show. I've big got shoes to fill, but it's dope."

In other news, Gabrielle recently signed on to play Chris Rock's fiance in the upcoming film Finally Famous

RIHANNA BLASTS J.R. SMITH

It looks like Rihanna isn't hooking up with New York Knicks star J.R. Smith after all. A fan recently hit RiRi on Instagram and said she was the reason J.R. had been shooting bricks and the Knicks had been struggling against the Pacers.

RiRi responded, "F*** you and your wack azz team!!! Nobody want that desert thirsty n*gga!! He f****d up because his azz be hungover from clubbing every night during playoffs!! So your issue isn't with ra$$hole me."

SOURCE: KANYE WEST IS OBSESSED WITH KIM KARDASHIAN

Although some think they won't last, a source has revealed that Kanye West is crazy for girlfriend Kim Kardashian. According to Hip Hollywood, a source close to the couple said that despite public speculation, Kanye is "obsessed with Kim" and is very much in love. The source added that when Kanye is photographed with Kim looking annoyed, it because of the paparazzi, not Kim. Kanye loves Kim so much -- that he performed his new song "Awesome" at the Adult Swim Upfronts on Wednesday night (May 15th). He raps to Kim during the song, "I'd rather do nothing with you than something new with somebody new." During his performance, Kanye also rapped,"I ain't no motherf****** celebrity. I ain't running for office. I ain't kissing nobody's motherf****** babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and s***."

LIL SCRAPPY PROBATION HEARING PUSHED BACK

According to Allhiphop, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Lil Scrappy's probation hearing has been pushed back. As previously reported, Scrappy turned himself in last month after his parole officer alleged that he provided a drug sample that was cold to the touch -- meaning that it may have been old urine or someone else's. Officer has claimed that he was asked to take another test, but he refused. Drug testing is required under the conditions of Scrappy's probation from a marijuana and gun possession charges back in 2008. DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Daniel Coursey decided to reschedule another hearing for next Wednesday so that Scrappy's urine sample could be processed.

ARREST WARRANT ISSUED FOR CHAD JOHNSON

An arrest warrant was issued yesterday (May 16th) for former NFL star Chad Johnson for violating his probation. According to TMZ, the warrant was issued out in Broward County, Florida -- all due to Chad failing to report to his probation officer. A judge issued the warrant on May 7th.

Chad also allegedly failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the Batterers Intervention Program.

Chad is on probation stemming from his domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife Evelyn Lozada.

Mannie Fresh has spoken on Baby plotting a new Big Tymers album without him. Last week Baby and Wayne announced that a new Big Tymers album will be released with Baby, Wayne and Drake. Mannie told MTV's Rap Fix Live, "I don't bash Cash Money, Birdman, or none of them. It's really on, I'm just striving on just getting what I deserve, you know, what I put in. So maybe that's what his feelings is. Mannie said. "Honestly I think Drake is a great artist, I think Wayne is a great artist, but they not the Big Tymers. It's kinda like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras, great artists, but Boyz II Men is not the Jackson 5."

He added, "You can call it whatever you want to call it, but you can't call it a Big Tymer's album.

Mannie added that he doesn't have a problem with anyone at Cash Money, he just wants what he deserves. He explained, "It coulda been resolved. I'm too old to be making dis songs. I'm too wise to be making shots at anybody, but my thing is I'm a business man at the end of it."

Transcribed:
Lord Jesus; you have brought me from a place so dark
to the point, where I can now feel love in my heart
And I know it’s just a start, and there is more to come
So now I embrace it, when I used to run
Didn’t know what I was running from or, running towards
‘Til one day I saw it, I was running for the Lord
And when I came back, you accepted me with open arms
and said, “All is forgiven,” and I became so strong
that, I can fight off the Devil with the spoken word
SAYING, “Devil I rebuke you,” that’s all that was heard
Cause no matter what I’ve been through, I could deal with it
Because of what I went through, I was still fitted
with the armor, that comes with the blood of Jesus
Among evil and suffering, He sees us
But when you’re LOST, He will lead the flock to find the one
Just like any father trying to find his son
And let me remind you, no matter where you’re at He will FIND you!
And help you put the negative behind you
LORD GIVE ME A SIGN! Please let me know you’re here
Or at least, let me know, you’re near
Remind me to call you, when we need you
Remind me to call you, because we all need to
AND GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO MAKE IT THROUGH JUST ONE MORE DAY!
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY!

1. The title of her book -- Its Hard to Fight Naked -- tells it all.

Niecy says: "You will learn a lot about yourself, the opposite sex, how traditional myths have gotten us of track, and ultimately how hard it is to fight naked. If you start naked you might avoid a fight altogether!"

2. Date for your priorities, not your preferences.

Niecy says: "People always say, 'How did you meet your husband? How did you get this kind of relationship? God, you guys seem so good together and perfectly matched.' I'm like, 'Okay, let me tell you how to get the man who's perfectly matched for you,' you know, and it starts with - and this is a conversation I had with Sherri, let me tell you what, because Sherri was still at a place when she met Lamar where she wanted to date for her preferences as opposed to her priorities."

3. Don't be afraid of online dating.

Niecy says: "Let me tell you what. I was on Match.com, Black People Meet. I was on Christian Singles and BlackWomenWithWeavesAndKids.org or something like that."

4. You attract what you are.

The actress says: "The biggest problem that women make, or people make in getting a relationship, is you jump in when you're not your best self. You draw that similar energy to you."

5. Take a selfie everyday.

Niecy says: "I would take pictures everyday because I wanted him to see what he was missing."

From TMZ:

Usher has secretly been stiffing the nanny ... financially ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

Cecilia Duncan is suing the singer, claiming Usher hired her as a part-time nanny back in December 2010 and she worked her ass off caring for his two sons (aged 4 and 5) often exceeding 40 hours per week.

According to the lawsuit, Cecilia felt like she was being overworked without being paid overtime ... and expressed her concerns to Usher in 2011 that she was being shafted.

Cecilia says Usher ignored her complaints for more than a year ... and finally fired her ass last September without paying her overtime money.

She's now suing for wrongful termination, failure to pay wages, and more -- demanding unspecified damages. Sources close to the lawsuit tell us she wants in the six-figure range.

(Usher's reps say the claims are bogus)

'This is going to turn into one of those reality shows, I didn't sign up to be on 'Love And Hip Hop.'"
