LUDA CELEBRATES DOUBLE DOSE OF B-DAY

Luda hosts another birthday party in Vegas last night.....this time at Pure.


SARAH CHAPMAN SPEAKS OUT ON DIDDY

Sarah Chapman, Diddy's other baby mama, has spoken out for the first time.



The Atlanta mother of Combs' one-year-old daughter said that she's content to be in the shadows and let Diddy's other baby mama, Kim Porter, take the spotlight. She told Sandra Rose that she and Kim met Diddy at the same time, and that Kim knew about Sarah's pregnancy prior to also getting knocked up by the Didder. While Sarah and Diddy aren't currently together, the two remain friends. "We've always been friends. I've known him for a long time -- 13 years exactly. ... It's never been a situation where I'm trying to step on top of [Kim] or I'm trying to be in her position."

Regarding Kim's revelation that Kim didn't speak to Sean Combs about Sarah's baby until after her twins were born, Sarah said, "the scary part is that any woman can be with a man and not even mention to him 'oh, I heard you got another woman pregnant' - that's really scary. For the longest time she never mentioned my pregnancy to him. She kept it a secret to herself so it wouldn't take the shine off of her," said Sarah. "I thought [Sean] was lying, but he said Kim never mentioned my pregnancy to him."


Here’s my two cent…Sandra goes to great lengths to describe Sarah as articulate and well educated. Overall, she’s made to be a nice, wholesome girl. But if she’s so good and sweet, why was she having sex – unprotected at that – with a man in a committed relationship? She claims she’s known Puff for years, then she should know that the man is with Kim and has been for years regardless of his behavior. Now anyone who reads this blog knows that I’m not a fan of Kim Porter. She has no self respect and no J-O-B. However, that doesn’t negate the fact that she is in a relationship with Puff.

Sarah, cut the crap. You are a gold digger and a trick…plain and simple.

JENNIFER LOPEZ PREGGERS?

Baby bump or just bloated????


Either way girl, love the dress.

FOXY BROWN DENIES PREGNANCY RUMORS

Last month Brown told the New York Post while she was spotted shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond, "I'm getting married in September. I'm pregnant." The star's lawyer also has said she is expecting.



But Brown's manager, Chaz Williams, said today that the rapper isn't pregnant. "And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant."

Pregnant or not, Koch Records, did announce that Foxy is expecting to put out a new album while serving a one-year jail sentence. This will be her first new album since 2001's Broken Silence. Brooklyn's Don Diva is set for release on Nov. 20, and the single, "Don't Surrender," will debut on radio stations Thursday, according to Giovanna Melchiorre, a rep for Koch Records.

50 CENT SPEAKS ON KANYE

So 50 found time to comment on 50 and his recent outburst with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show this morning.

"He was upset," 50 Cent told Wednesday, referring to West's backstage meltdown. "He's not used to not being recognized. Period."


Both rappers appeared on BET's 106 and Park on yesterday, and West continued to whine that he could have opened the VMAs. "It was always my dream to open the award shows with 'Stronger', and they talked me into doing the suite thing," he said. "Then when they had Britney open, I said, 'How are you going to have Britney open? Because she's not ready'."

But according to 50 Cent, West was out of line. "He expressed that he felt that Britney shouldn't be actually opening the show – almost like he forgot that Britney Spears sold 50 million records. She did," the rapper told Seacrest. "He is not thinking about her full body of work. She deserved to headline the show better than anybody else that was on it – even in the state that she is in."

Asked if he thinks West will go through with his threatened boycott of MTV, 50 Cent answered: "I don't think he can. I don't think it's possible. I think he [got] carried away in the moment. MTV doesn't need him."

I hate to admit this.....but 50 has a point.....
Too bad he's getting spanked by Kanye in sales right now....Oh and didn't help that Kanye will perform at Sunday night's Emmy Awards....Ouch 50....How soon your fans forget

KIM PORTER DROPS DIME ON DIDDY

So Kim Porter finally drops a dime on Puffy...No more of that "We're on different pages" BS. According to Kim, it was the rumors and eventual reality of another baby that drove her right out of the door.



According to the October issue of Essence, Kim's rudest awakening took place late last year, when she was pregnant with the couple's twin. That was when a girlfriend informed her that Combs had recently fathered a baby with another woman.

"I wasn't even coming from the place of who, what, why...I laid low and did what women do: I did my background work, collected information [about the other woman]. But I wasn't even on it like that because I was pregnant, and what was bubbling inside me was a blessing from God. I couldn't let my energy be on that. I didn't have time for any drama, trauma and bull----."

Essence reports that Kim's initial guess was right. The baby was born five months before the twins arrived. The mother was Sarah Chapman, 33, who lives in Atlanta, worked in fashion and knew Combs for several years.

Of Combs's behavior, says Porter, "It's not an original script. He's not the first man who's cheated. He's not the first man who's had a baby outside of his relationship. He's not the originator of this. But at this point in my life – I have girls now – it's a different program."

"I would have preferred to find out from him because that's a man," she says. "I know it's hard for anyone to say to their significant other, 'I've gotten into some s--- and I got a baby on the way.' But men do get caught up in things; I'm not naive to that. Still, there's a right and a wrong way to handle it. Because, most of all, we were friends. Even if I couldn't have understood it as a woman, I would have understood it as a friend."

Ultimately, Combs did approach Porter with the news, but it was after their twins were born, she says. "He told me that he may have gotten himself into a situation and he may have fathered another child outside the relationship and I said, 'Really? Well, I already knew. I'm glad you decided to be a man,' " recalls Kim. "I was like, 'Dude, this is so wack I can't even respect you right now.' And for me, once the respect is gone, I'm not even listening to you."

"I'm a Southern girl, and my home life is numero uno," she says. "I wasn't waking up feeling happy. There's no other way for me to articulate it, other than a feeling. I just wasn't feeling it, that's why I had to leave."

VMA TWO-CENTS

Here's my MTV VMA two-cent because quite simply I can....

MOST DISAPPOINTING PERFORMANCE
Brit Brit….girl, are you okay? I hate that this performance wasn't up to par because you really want to see her prove everyone wrong. She's been through so much recently. Mistake number one…the stomach. What’s really going on there? Why wear a bra and panty ensemble if your stomach isn’t in shape. Get a personal trainer girl. Secondly, did you rehearse? For most of the performance you either looked like a deer caught in headlights or like you just forgot your dance moves because you sure were not singing. That was the most anticipated and disappointing performance all rolled in one.

MOST SURPRISING PERFORMANCE
Rihanna. I’m so surprised she’s not a studio singer. Who knew??? Outside of music, I love Rihanna’s style and swagger.

BEST PERFORMANCE
Chris Brown. Although he brought nothing new I did enjoy his Michael Jackson rendition.

BEST DRESSED
Eve looked gorgeous. Wow what a transformation she has made. I love gold on her.


WORST DRESSED
Lil Mama. What the heezy is this mess?


JUST MY TWO CENT…
Didn’t you love the fact that everyone kept rubbing in the fight between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. It’s good for America to take note that it’s not just rappers who are unruly.

Did Diddy and Jamie Foxx have a little too much to drink? Oh and Nelly pure had the brown juice in his hand when introducing Alicia Keys. (Oh…and am I the only person who is not feeling her new single?)

Are you over Justin Timberlake yet?
