As reported earlier this morning, Oprah makes her big announcement about ending her 25 Years run of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

“I love this show … this show has been my life and I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye,” said Winfrey. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and my spirit. It’s the perfect number, the exact right time.”

Supposedly, there was a candlelight vigil for Kandi’s ex-fiance, AJ Jewell that same day. People who attended were upset that Kandi didn’t show up and took it to twitter to voice their opinions:

50 Cent sure knows how to keep the media talkin’! He has linked up with his ex-girlfriend, Vivica Fox for his new video “Do You Think About Me”. How funny is that…

As you may recall, Vivica Fox and 50 Cent didn’t end their relationship on a good note. But the actress has apparently left her bitter split with 50 behind. , “Do You Think About Me?” features his cougar ex Vivica A. Fox as his leading lady. I believe the song takes shots at his ex-girl/baby momma Shaniqua.

During a radio interview in Houston, 50 Cent said “Wait until you see my next video,” to the morning crew. “I wonder what people are going to say when they see Vivica Fox.”

While 50 did admit that the two were friends again, he would not disclose on whether the two of them were in a relationship again. “We had a really good relationship for a short period,” 50 said. “We just weren’t ready for it. I wasn’t ready for it.” 50 Cent dated actress Vivica Fox in the summer of 2003, but announced their split on The Howard Stern Show a few months later. HOT MESS!

First off, Good Lawd Fabolous and those teeth! Sheesh!

It’s official. Earlier this week, we reported that it was rumored Oprah would be ending her show. It has been confirmed by her spokesperson that the queen of daytime talk shows, Oprah Winfrey, plans to end her highly rated The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011 after 25 years.

“The last day will be Sept. 9, 2011,” the spokesperson says. “She will speak about it on (Friday’s) live show.”

According to People.com, Winfrey, 55, whose current program reaches about 7 million viewers a day, is preparing to start her own cable channel, and it has been widely rumored that she would bring her program to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications.

“We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors,” CBS TV Distribution, which distributes the show, says in a statement. “We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success. We look forward to working with her for the next several years and hopefully afterwards as well.”

In related news, Oprah Winfrey’s much-anticipated interview of Sarah Palin brought her talk show its highest ratings in two years. Check out a clip from the show:

TV personality Tila Tequila has filed a lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Shawne Merriman over assault accusations from a September altercation in which the San Diego Chargers linebacker was never charged with a crime. Tequila is seeking damages for assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress. 

Anything for attention!

Rumor has it that Bravo kicked off Sheree Whitfield from the third season of Real Housewives of Atlanta much like they did DeShawn Snow. The rumor revealed that Bravo was trying (yet again) to get Tameka Foster as a replacement on the show to stir up a bit more drama. But Essence has confirmed the rumor is BOGUS.

Bravo reps say that no decisions whatsoever have been made about season three and the rumors are false.

Gucci Mane broke his silence relative to his one-year prison sentence which is currently serving for violation of his probation. He detailed how he is handling his time behind bars. Speaking through a statement, Gucci said he has continued to remain positive.

“I have accepted full responsibility for my actions and I am ready to deal with what is in front of me right now,” wrote Gucci. “Thankfully, my label is still moving forward with my album release so I will have plenty to look forward to when I get out. I am remaining positive and want my fans to know that I am grateful for their loyalty and continued support. I will get through this.” (XXL Mag)

According to his attorney, Dwight L. Thomas, the rapper has been trying to recover from drug addiction. Gucci’s probation for a 2005 aggravated-assault case was revoked because the flamboyant rapper has not completed a court-ordered 600 hours of community service, he’s tested positive for marijuana and cocaine during visits to his probation officer and he has not been getting the proper permission to travel as mandated previously by the judge. “[Gucci] told the court yesterday he was on a road to recovery in terms of being clean and sober,” explained Thomas, who also represented T.I. in his recent gun case. “[He is] alcohol free and weed free. … He’s also dealing with the emotional issue of killing somebody. He’s been in counseling and therapy.” (MTV)

In more Hip Hop News…According to AHH:

Police in Atlanta, Georgia are investigating the Grand Hustle offices owned by rapper T.I., after two Molotov Cocktails were found in front of the building that houses the label. A SWAT team was called to the scene to remove the two explosives devices , while ATF agents are interviewing witnesses in an attempt to identify a suspect. Investigators are currently testing the Molotov cocktails to determine what liquids were in the two bottles. “One of the occupants came out early this morning to start his car up and noticed two suspicious bottles sitting on the front portion of the walkway,” Officer Otis Redmond told MyFox Atlanta 5. T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., is currently finishing a year-long prison sentence in an Arkansas federal prison for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers in October of 2008.

Yesterday, media reports indicated that Nivea and Lil Wayne had their baby boy, but its not TRUE! Nivea took it to her Twitter page to confirm she is indeed still very much preggers. RUMOR CONTROL!

Wasup with these celebrities not paying their taxes??? Jermaine Dupri has been added to the growing list of celebs trying to dodge their dues to Uncle Sam.
The state of Georgia filed a tax lien against him Tuesday for $135, 749. That’s just the beginning of his troubles! We hear that the IRS filed a $3,095,004 lien against him in September. According to his attorney James Kane, JD’s currently working on getting the liens removed and told the Detroit News his client successfully made payments on the money past due.
“I can assist you in telling you that all of the taxes have been paid and my law firm has been, and is, in the process of getting the liens removed in normal course. As to any other information, you can certainly understand under the attorney-client privilege that I am not able make any further comment.”
Hot Mess! Maybe Janet Jackson was better off leaving him and that debt!

GQ has crowned President Barack Obama “Leader of the Year”. The President will be on one of five covers (one per nominee) for magazine’s December issue. The honor is part of GQ’s “Men of the Year” roundup which also highlights Clint Eastwood (”Badass of the Year”), Tom Brady (”Comeback of the Year”), the “Hangover” guys (”Funnymen of the Year”) and Chris Pine (”Breakout of the Year”).

11/18/09 The feud between 50 Cent and Rick Ross seems to get worse and worse and even too personal at times. 50 Cent in my opinion, is takin’ it to far. His recent stunt…50 posted various photos on Thisis50.com of Rick Ross’ family posing with 50 and boxer Floyd Mayweather at the boxer’s Las Vegas mansion.  (More scoop/ pics after the jump)

One picture shows Ross’ ex-girlfriend Tia Kemp’s son DeAndre, as he poses in front of Mayweather’s Bentley. Another features Tia posing with 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and her sons DeAndre and Kemp and Ross’ son William Roberts Jr, who can be seen sporting a chain with the logo for Ross’ Maybach Music record label.

What is more disturbing is that Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, is enjoyin’ this and even has her sons posing in the pics. She also publicized the event via her Twitter account.

“In Vegas with the kids and 50 chillin @ Mayweather’s crib………,” she wrote on Saturday. “And yes I will be @ the fight later tonight…@ @mayweathermania crib with 50 and the kids……… Just met Diddy now, I’m loving life right now.” (Tia Kemp’s Twitter)

I wonder if Rick Ross will keep his cool after seeing this. Would you?

50 Cents new album Before I Self Destruct is out now. Also this album is bundled with 2 feature films: “2 Turntables and a Mic” which is a Jam Master Jay documentary and “Before I Self Destruct” the Movie. (PREVIEW)

Oprah invited Robin Givens to her talk show. On Friday’s episode, Oprah Winfrey apologized to Robin Givens over how she dealt with a comment made by the star’s ex, former boxer Mike Tyson, last month. “I was really hurt, really, really hurt,” Givens told Winfrey of the TV show host’s and her audience’s reaction to the boxer’s ctober “Oprah” show comments about the actress’ 1998 Barbara Walters interview. As you may recall, Tyson said on Oprah’s show that Givens lied during the interview and he added, “At that particular moment, I truly wanted to sock her, but I didn’t do it,” as the “Oprah” audience laughed.
“I hope you accept my apology,” Winfrey told her. “I had a lot of empathy and compassion for Mike Tyson and still do, but that never makes hitting women OK. It’s never OK.”

Even though Chris Brown may have a love jones for his ex, Rihanna seems to have moved on to something new and fresh. According to NY Daily News, the singer is supposedly dating The Wire & 90210 star Tristan Wilds. Wilds showed up at Ri Ri’s house party over the weekend. “No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate. But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see”, a guest who attended the event said.

Allegedly, the couple met through a music producer who’s worked with both of them (Wilds is breaking into the music industry, too). We hear that Wilds is quite the catch for the pop star: “He’s a real gentleman. She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up.”

Rihanna has to hit the road soon to promote her new album Rated R, but the two plan to keep in touch while she’s away sources close to the pop star say.

 I am a fan of Tristan and I always said he reminded me of Chris Brown from way back when he was on The Wire. That’s quite ironic that Rihanna is drawn to him.

Did you guys get to see Janet Jackson’s exclusive interview with Robin Roberts? It was pretty good. Janet Jackson, 43, is so soft spoken and her smile is engaging. She spoke about her close relationship with her brother. Michael was simply “Mike” to Janet, while Janet was always “Dunk” to Michael. The last time Janet Jackson saw her brother alive was a few days before her birthday. Robin Roberts asked Janet what her fondest memory of that final visit was, “I remember him making me laugh.” was Jackson’s reply. If you missed it, check out the FULL INTERVIEW here:

For the record, during that interview Janet Jackson said she was “single” and was no longer dating Jermaine Dupri despite recent media speculations that the two are still together.

Do you guys remember Aaron Hall? He’s one the strongest vocalists of the last 20 years, and as the lead singer of the trio Guy — along with producer/multi-instrumentalist Teddy Riley and singer Timmy Gatling (who was later replaced by Hall’s brother Damion) — he helped birth the New Jack Swing movement, which was the first to combine R&B with hip-hop beats. Well, although he had a big influence in today’s R&B, Aaron Hall was never able to revive his career…so he turned to his other passion. Training Dogs! I kid you not. Aaron Hall has a new show much like the “dog whisperer” called DOG REHAB.

Check out the preview of the show below. Better yet, check out the suit he is rockin’ LMFAO! Love it!
