Superhead admits her "just friends" status with the very married Bobby Brown!

Whatever! I respect her hustle but if she went back to Bobbby for good reading material for her next book OH BOY! By the way this may be OLD news to some but NEWS to ME!

" Whitney Houston appears to have rid herself of hubby Bobby Brown. Whether he gets back into the house may depend on hip-hop temptress Karrine Steffans.
Houston's friends have long blamed Brown for her woefully heavy eyelids. So they're praying she has the strength to change the locks.

Good thing, then, that he's been distracted by Karrine. You remember Karrine. Back when she was, as she puts it, "a coke whore," hip-hop playas called her Superhead. But then she sobered up and wrote a best seller, "Confessions of a Video Vixen," recounting the bedroom (and backseat) quirks of Usher, Diddy, Vin Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal and Ja Rule, among others.

She also wrote about Bobby - their bizarre 2002 encounter when "he told me he was a member of Al Qaeda and that President Bush was looking for him."

Lately, she's been seen around L.A. with him. So what's up with them?

"It's a really tricky situation," she told us this week, as she test-drove a Mercedes SLK 280. "He is my dearest friend. But I'm not saying it's romantic. We won't know what it is till we're ready.

"There's a wife and children involved," the single mom went on. "I don't want to wreck any marriages. But if a marriage is already wrecked, that's not my fault."

So she and Bobby have been intimate? "It's none of your business," she scolded. "I'm still celibate. And if you believe that, I'll tell you another one."

"Look," she said, shifting the Benz into a higher gear, "there are way bigger things in the works than a romance. I'm a businesswoman. Bobby and I are working together on some things."


Somebody told online gossip Janet Charleton that Karrine is "using Bobby because she wants her own reality show."

"Please," she said. "You think I need Bobby Brown to get a reality show? I've turned down four reality shows."

And what about the supposed "love of my life," Bill Maher? In April, Karrine told us that she was so besotted by the comic that "I will never be with another man."

"We still talk," she says. "I'm going to have dinner with Bill next week" to celebrate her 28th birthday.

As for Whitney, she says, "I've never met her, but I'm a big fan. I want her to come back and sing her heart out."

Keep Bobby busy, Karrine, and she just might. "

New Beef: Prince vs. Justin Timberlake!
Two of the best in music are butting heads supposedly! Wonder if there's ANY truth to this...

" Pop star PRINCE took a humourous swipe at JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE while performing at an Emmy Awards after party on Sunday night (27AUG06) in Hollywood. The 48-year-old PURPLE RAIN star took the stage at West Hollywood's Sky Bar to entertain the crowd at the ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT party. Timberlake boasts in his new hit single "he's bringing sexy back", but Prince begs to differ. He yelled to the massive crowd, "For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!" "

VMAs Update: Mos Def got arrested!
WTF? I refuse to believe this but it is NEWS!
" Rapper/actor MOS DEF was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct last night (31AUG06) after he put on an unauthorised show outside New York City's Radio City Music Hall following the MTV Video Music Awards. According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), Mos Def - real name DANTE SMITH - pulled up outside the prestigious venue at 10pm (local time) in a flat-bed truck and began to perform through a sound system, quickly attracting a large crowd. The BLACK ON BOTH SIDES star reportedly performed KATRINA CLAP, a savage attack on US President GEORGE W BUSH's administration's slow response to Hurricane Katrina last year (05), before NYPD officers told him and his entourage to pull the plug and began making arrests. Officers who had arrived earlier on the scene had allowed Smith to continue after finding he was in possession of a public performance permit. Smith's publicist insists her client was handled harshly and revealed plans to release a video of the incident on the web. CARLEEN DONOVAN tells MTV, "Mos Def was unjustly arrested tonight while performing on a flatbed track in New York City outside the Video Music Awards. "Mos Def was not out to break any laws. His only goal was to heighten the awareness of a serious situation that still exists in our country. "He does not want people to forget that although it's one year later, the people and cities hit by the hurricane still need the help of the American people." Smith was released from police custody in the early hours of this morning. "

Seen Out & About || VMAs, TRL, and more...

The MTV Video Music Awards are fastly approaching.
Day One brings rapper/actor Ludacris and alt-rock band The All-American Rejects (a.k.a "AAR") to center stage for impromptu rehearsals.

AAR also dropped by TRL.


The Olsens sisters (better known as Mary-Kate and Ashley) dropped by MuchMusic.

In related Olsen news the sisters put their LA home for sale as seen on Contact Music: "Former FULL HOUSE stars MARY-KATE and ASHLEY OLSEN have decided to put their not-so-full Los Angeles house up for sale, after spending most of their time in New York City. The twins, who shared the role of MICHELLE TANNER on the popular show, purchased the house for $4 million (GBP2.2 million) in 2004. The 20-year-old Olsens have parlayed their success into a billion-dollar line of products and became co-presidents of their own company when they turned 18. They visit the company's headquarters in Los Angeles only once a month, and have spent the last two years in New York City attending college on and off. The mid-century modern house designed by HAL LEVITT, is one level and has two master-bedroom suites - one for each twin - plus two additional bedrooms. The gated estate, which is located in the hills of Los Angeles suburb Westwood, also has a pool, spa and sweeping views of the city. It is on the market for $4.4 million (GBP2.4 million)."

Giselle Bundchen, Donald Trump and wife Melania were some of the stars at the Opening Night Gala for U. S. Open Tennis & Education Foundation

don't they look alike?!? they even "smile" the same way...

Bank of Jamaica honors Bob Marley with his own coin!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The Bank of Jamaica has issued 1,000 gold and silver coins to commemorate the life of the late Bob Marley. The coins, which are produced by the British Royal Mint, can be purchased from the bank for $100 each. They initially were supposed to go on sale in 2005 to correspond with the 60th anniversary of Marley’s birth; it is uncertain why production was delayed until this year. This is the second time Marley has been honored with his own coin. Coins which celebrated his 50th birthday have sold out.
