CHILLI SPEAKS ON USHER & T.J HOLMES RUMORS
Essence magazine caught up with Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas who talked about her ex Usher, her brief relationship with CNN reporter T.J Holmes and Left Eye.

Chilli T.J. Usher Tameka Drama
Scan: Chilli Online, In Touch Weekly via Usherforever



On whether she communicates with Usher & Tameka: I don't have any contact with her. I have not spoken to her in years. There's no relationship at all between us. I haven't spoken to Usher, either. When people ask whether or not I think she is the reason we broke up, I have no clue what Usher was doing outside of our relationship. When we broke up, it was because it wasn't working out. I later found out there was some infidelity, but he never said who that woman or who those women were, because I'm sure it was more than one. Again, I heard things, but Tameka never crossed my mind. The first time I strolled across that [infamous] beach photo I thought somebody photoshopped that. I didn't believe it. I did wonder if she was one of the girls, but again, I never asked. My memory of her was that she was the stylist, because she dressed Usher and I for an event one time. Honestly, those are questions I never asked him, and I've distanced myself so much from him. We aren't communicating at all. We broke up, had conversation a few times maybe two years after we broke up, and it was a wrap. I think what keeps it alive at all is these [blogs] speculating whether we'd get back together. [ESSENCE]


Chilli went on to deny a claim that she caused T.J's recent divorce by saying and I quote: "No, let's clear this up right now. T.J. Holmes was divorced and had been divorced. It wasn't a situation where he was going through a divorce and still married. I would never date a man that is legally separated or tied to another woman. We dated, but it was brief."

Chilli also commented on Destiny's Child not being the biggest selling female group and she talked about her new gig as a spokesmodel for Chamomix. Check out the full interview over at ESSENCE.COM.

SASHA FIERCE PROMO DELUXE + HER MOTORCYCLE CORSET BUZZ
Check out another round of Beyonce/Sasha Fierce promotional photos snapped by photographer Peter Lindbergh in support of her upcoming third album, "I Am...Sasha Fierce." Credit goes to Brown Sista!

Below is another promotional shot that created online buzz because of the motorcycle corset Beyonce has on. According to Patricia from fashion blog Sxy Fashion Queen, the motorcycle corset received pop culture notoriety straight from Thierry Mugler's Spring/Summer 1992 runway collection. The corset made another appearance in George Michael's "Too Funky" video. You can't knock Beyonce for leaning towards a edgier look that fits her "Sasha Fierce" personality.

HALLOWEEN HOOPLA + CHILLI & NICOLE'S ENGAGEMENT RINGS
Cassie and Diddy were up to their old habits in spirit of Halloween at New York City’s Lucky Strike Lanes. Cassie dressed up as Wonder Woman while Diddy -long pause- went as The Pope. Isn't it quite interesting where Diddy's hand is in the photo? FYI: Diddy celebrates his 39th birthday today!

All eyes were fixed on Chilli's ring finger when she was spotted at the Atlanta Hawks vs Philly game over the weekend. Maybe the ring was in support of her new Vh1 show - "Perfect Man for Chilli."

Lewis Hamilton and girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger celebrated his Formula 2008 world drivers championship title at the Brazilian Grand Priz in Sao Paulo on Sunday. Just like Chilli, Nicole has a huge engagement-type ring on her finger.

CHILLI POSE FOR UPSCALE
Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas has a glossy photo spread inside the latest edition of "Upscale" magazine. I swear not showing your age is something going quite well for the former TLC band member. Shot by Sean Cokes and styled by Tamara Connor, Chilli went for a biker chick look equipped with a Harley Davidson 2009 Fatboy bike. No signs of her trademark baby hair for this photoshoot! Chilli also did a photo session for Atlanta-based "Rolling Out" magazine not too long ago.

HOOPLA: CHILLI & TRON SHOW OUT, JD'S BIRTHDAY BASH + CIARA SPEAKS ON "VIBE" MAGAZINE COVER
Chilli's son Tron proved that talent indeed runs in the family when he joined his mother to film a cameo spot for Dj UNk's "ShowOut" music video in Atlanta. Tron's father is Dallas Austin who produced and wrote many of TLC's hits. Too cute...


(Thanks to Real Gossip 101 and Exclusive Access!)


Jermanie Dupri had his 36th birthday party at Tenjune in New York City last night. Of course, his girlfriend Janet Jackson was right by his side. Janet's tour, "Rock Witchu" is doing extremely well via the reviews and ticket sales. LL Cool J and Donnie Klang are Janet's tour opening act. Speaking of which, check out the latest JD vlog about "Rock Witchu" underneath the photos...

MTV News caught with Ciara on the music video set of "Go Girl" and she talked about the drama surrounding her recent nude "Vibe" magazine cover. Ciara still insisted that she did NOT pose nude despites what Danyel Smith had to say...







“I think, at this point, I’d rather just be quiet about things such as that but I definitely want to make it clear that I was going in to do something artistic, and I was upset that when I saw the photos, everything was gone,” the singer told MTV News last weekend, from the set of her forthcoming music video for “Go Girl,” which features a cameo from T-Pain. “It’s very, very upsetting and somewhat misleading.


Ciara also addressed this situation as well as what to expect from her "Fantasy Ride" record over at her myspace page...

On the Vibe nude cover: I know that there has been a lot of talk about the vibe magazine and this will be my last time talking about it. When vibe presented the idea to me, I was excited about trying something different and doing something Artistic. The body is beautiful, and I wanted to celebrate it. I’m at a point to whereas I’m shedding old layers of my life and the new layers are surfacing. So much has changed for me especially as a young woman and I wanted to express that. There was talk about me being upset about the shoot. When I look at the photos, I do think they are beautiful photos and I am proud of my body, I was bothered because I did indeed have on items that were removed.
I know that it was vibes mission to do something beautiful and to present me in a nice light I just think it would have been appropriate for them to get my approval to do such a thing before doing it.. I don’t want this to keep going; I just wanted to talk to u guys before I went totally silent on this topic.

Ciara wrapped up her brief myspace blog by adding that Melina directed "Go Girl" and Jamaica did the choreography. The budding R&B singer also added that Tricky Stewart, Danja, T Pain, and Rodney Jerkins did production on her upcoming third solo album, "Fantasy Ride." Ludacris, Missy, and Young Jeezy are also featured on the album.

NEW AMERIE PROMO PHOTO
Newly signed Def Jam Records artist Amerie looked fabulous in this new promotional photo spotted by Angel. If those 80's-inspired shades looked familar to you, that's because Amerie wore them to this Target/Converse event. (Thanks Marleaux!)

NEW AMERIE PROMO PHOTO



Amerie has moved on from her former label home at Columbia to Def Jam - music home to Rihanna, Ne-Yo, and many others. Speaking of Ne-Yo, Amerie was seen with him and Chilli down in Atlanta - where she reportedly has made serious studio time for her next album.
