The Los Angeles premiere of "Seven Pounds" (starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson) had Gabrielle Union, Tyrese, Alfonso Ribeiro, Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Chaka Khan, Laila Ali, and Tatyana Ali in attendance.

Laila posted up her site how life has been with Curtis Muhammad (who was named after her husban Curtis and father Muhammad Ali).

It’s been some time since I last wrote. That is because I have been adjusting to my new life as a mommy. I am so in love with my son and that is a good thing because he needs so much time and attention! Luckily, motherhood has been an easy and natural transition for me. Of course waking up to feed my son, CJ ( Curtis Jr.), every 2 hours at night is not fun but I feel good knowing that I am creating a bond with him and he is getting what he needs.

PORTRAITS OF MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS
Tichina Arnold and Alijah Haggins


Tichina Arnold and her four-year-old daughter Alijah Haggins pose a glossy photo editorial as seen in the May edition of "Essensce" magazine.

Photographed by Sinden Collier, Tichina and Ajiah are featured in the urban publication's intimate portrait of mothers and daughters.

Excerpts from Tichina & Alijah:

Arnold says she's 'got it good.'" She gets by with a little help from her mother (not to mention her sister, aunt, uncle, friends, a "gay husband" named Gregg, and Arnold's new beau, who works for the NBA.) "God placed the right people in my life," she says. "And he gave me the perfect daughter for me". [ESSENCE.COM]

Because Sunday May 11th is the day mothers are honored, "Essence" also included Grace Gibson's mother Lynn Whitfield, Robin Roberts' mother Lucimarian Roberts, and Laila Ali's mom Veronica Porche.

[Pictured from left to right: Tichina Arnold, Ajilah Haggins, Grace Gibson, Lynn Whitfield, Robin Roberts, Lucimarian Roberts, Veronica Porche, and Laila Ali. ]


Lynn & Grace:
As actress Lynn Whitfield, 55, waxes philosophical about what it's like raising a teenage daughter ("The labor pains I went through at the beginning of her life are nothing compared to the labor pains you feel when you are birthing someone from teen years into womanhood"), Grace Gibson, 16, can't resist taking a playful swipe at her mother's sentimentality: "What a metaphor, Mother". [ESSENCE.COM]


Robin & Lucimarian:
...That truth was poignantly illustrated when Robin took off her wig during the ESSENCE photo shoot, and her mother's body language immediately changed. "She clutched me, and I was like, "Mama, what's wrong?" Roberts recalls. Her mother's response? "I just want to protect you". [ESSENCE.COM]


Laila & Veronica:
Laila Ali and her mother don't often see eye to eye, but they agree on one subject: Laila is the overprotective one. "If we go out or leave Laila's house, she always says, "Call me when you get home!" says Veronica Porche, Psy.D, Ali's mother. "I'm overprotective of anyone I care about," explains Ali, 30, in her defense. [ESSENCE.COM]

LAILA ALI IS PREGNANT WITH HER FIRST CHILD
LAILA AND CURTIS ARE EXPECTING


Boxing champion and Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila Ali announced to ESSENCE that she and her husband Curtis Conway are expecting their first child this fall.

“I don’t know yet if we are having a boy or a girl, but I’m excited that I have a life inside me that my husband and I created.” The baby is due this fall.

Ali, 30, married Conway, 36, last July in Marina Del Rey, California. The newlyweds met through a mutual friend two years ago and have been a couple ever since. Her first marriage to former boxer Johnny “Yahyah” McClain ended in 2005. Conway was also married before and has three children.

“Curtis is very calm and has a quiet confidence, and he wanted what I wanted—to be married and have a family,” says the former boxer, who retired undefeated as the women’s super middleweight champion.

“I am 100 percent undeniably happy,” Ali says. “I've never been able to say that before.” [ESSENCE.COM]


In celebration of this announcement, Laila and Curtis are on the May cover issue of "Essence" magazine.

In spite of her recent album push back and a new single leaked online, Kelly Rowland showed up with a bright smile and a sassy fashion sense on Canada's music channel, "MuchonDemand" to promote her July 3rd album, "Ms. Kelly."

The dress, the hair and the shoes are on point. I don't know about you but Kelly needs to model or launch her own clothing line!

The grand opening of the $1 billion dollar Cove Atlantis on Paradise Island was held yesterday in the Bahamas. Janet Jackson performed “Rhythm Nation,” “What Have You Done For Me Lately,” “Nasty,” “That’s The Way Love Goes,” and “All For You,” closing with a fireworks display that lit up the 171 acre resort.

Usher with his fiance Tameka Foster, Ashanti, Kanye West, and Michael Jordan were all there.





Usher and his girl simply couldn't get enough of each other...

LITERALLY!

Chris Tucker and Michel Michelle enjoyed one another's company...


Does Nelly need to know about this photo op?!?


Check out this teaser trailer from "Rush Hour 3"


I will be one of the first on line to get a ticket to this movie. Chris and Jackie have done it again!

Christina Aguilera was spotted out and about in LA with her husband Jordan Bratman:





I'm anticipated another hot single from her. "Hurt" is currently on my top most played songs on my IPOD.

Another Kelly album gets pushed back and this time it's Kelly Clarkson:


Supposedly there's a rift between her and Clive Davis.


It's towards the end of the clip, folks.

Beyonce and her sister Solange and their cousin Angie went shopping in Milian:

Each Knowles lady dress the part to drop some serious dough on new gear. I'm loving Solange's shoes!


Baby Daniel Juelz was there too:



Are those on baby Daniel's feet the same shoes Jay-Z rock in Rihanna's Umbrella video?!?
