LOOKING AT THIS PIC, YOUR EYES MAY GO TO TENNIS STAR SERENA WILLIAMS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL AT THE OSCARS, BUT IT'S THE GUY NEXT TO HER WHOSE MAKING OSCAR HISTORY. GEOFFREY FLETCHER WENT DOWN IN HISTORY THIS YEAR AS THE FIRST BLACK PERSON TO WIN AS A SCREEN WRITER. SO AMAZING [KANYE SINGING]. | NEW COUPLE ALERT: ACTOR/ SINGER/ COMEDIAN JAMIE FOXX STEPPED OUT AT THE OSCARS WITH ACTRESS AND NEWLY DIVORCED STACEY DASH, BEST KNOWN FOR HER ROLE IN CLUELESS. INTERESTING ENOUGH, THEY ARE BOTH KNOWN FOR DATING OUTSIDE THEIR OWN RACE AND HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL SO THIS MAY WORK FOR THEM. |

YOU KNOW I HAD TO SHOW LOVE FOR MY GIRL MONIQUE! I KNEW SHE WAS A SHOE-IN FOR THE OSCAR AND SHE WAS DEFINITELY A LADY. BIG THINGS ARE SURE TO COME FOR HER IN THE FUTURE. | DO NOT BE ALARMED. I WAS SCARED WHEN I SAW THIS PICTURE TOO, BUT IT'S JUST RENOWNED FILM CRITIC ROGER EBERT. HE SHOWED LOVE TO DRAKE FOR MAKING HIM A TWITTER TOPIC THIS WEEK AND CROWNED HIM AS HIS COLLEGE DAUGHTER'S FAV RAPPER. |

NEW ATLANTA RAPPER B.O.B [ALSO KNOWN AS BOBBY RAY] RELEASED HIS NEW VIDEO FOR "NOTHING ON YOU" FEATURING UPCOMING SINGER BRUNO MARS. VERY CREATIVE VIDEO. I LIKE. |

| THE RED CARPET AT THE OSCARS IS ALWAYS AMAZING BUT NEVER HAVE I SEEN SO MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN STEPPING OUT. THERE WERE SOME FASHION RISKTAKERS AND SOME CLASSIC FAVORITES. AVATAR STAR ZOE SALDANA [FAR LEFT] TOOK THE TITLE AS BEST DRESSED FOR THE EVENING IN A RISKY GIVENCHY GOWN. OTHER FAVORITES WERE ACTREES GABRIELLE UNION [MIDDLE LEFT] IN A STUNNING YELLOW, MODEL AMBER ROSE [MIDDLE RIGHT] IN A SILK PINK DRESS, AND OSCAR NOMINATED ACTRESS GABOUREY SIDIBE LOOKING THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN HER! |

| THIS ACTOR WAS SPOTTED AFTER THE OSCARS ALONGSIDE OSCAR WINNING WRITER MARK BOAL [LEFT]. YOU MAY NOT KNOW HIS NAME NOW, BUT NOW THAT HE IS AN OSCAR WINNER AND STARRED IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR, I'M SURE YOU WILL SOON. CLICK THE PIC TO SEE WHO IS THIS GUY? |

| YEAH YOU KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER DRAKE RELEASED THE 1ST SINGLE FOR HIS DEBUT ALBUM, HE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE PUSHED BACK YET AGAIN TO MAY 2010. BAD REVIEWS FROM THE SINGLE? LET US REMEMBER THAT THIS ALBUM WAS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT IN DECEMBER 2009... | TROUBLE IN "PARADISE?" I SENSED FROM THE BEGINNING THE FAKENESS OF MARIAH CAREY AND NICK CANNON'S RELATIONSHIP AND THIS JUST PROVES MARIAH'S DIVA ATTITUDE AND THEIR INCOMPATABILITY. ON THE OSCAR CARPET, MARIAH TAKES OUT HER MINT AND MAKES NICK HOLD IT FOR HER. AFTER A SNAP OF ATTITUDE FROM THE DIVA, NICK BOWED DOWN AND OBEYED. |

RAPPER LIL WAYNE FINALLY REPORTED TO JAIL MONDAY MARCH 8TH. HE WAS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR FOR GUN POSSESSION AND WILL BE SERVING HIS TIME AT RIKERS IN NEW YORK. FOR NOW, HE WILL BE IN POTECTIVE CUSTODY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND MAY GET OUT IN 8 MONTHS WITH GOOD BEHAVIOR. HE WAS ORGINALLY SUPPOSED TO REPORT WEEKS AGO BUT DUE TO DENTAL WORK AND A MYSTERIOUS FIRE IN THE COURTROOM, HIS SENTENCE WAS POSTPONED TWICE. SEE HOW CALM HE WAS AS HE MOVED THROUGH A STORM OF PAPARAZZI TO ENTER THE COURTROOM IN THE VIDEO BELOW. |

THIS IS HILARIOUS! THAT'S WHAT COLUMBUS SHORT GETS FOR TRYING TO BE COOL! WEARING SUNGLASSES IN A DARK AUDITORIUM FULL OF PEOPLE AND WALKING TO THE EDGE OF THE STAGE MAY NOT BE A GOOD COMBO. SEE THE VIDEO BELOW. |
