    Rapper Vanilla Ice was born Robbie Van Winkle in 1968.
    Who even thinks about Vanilla Ice anymore? I know I don't but the net is buzzing about the fact that he was arrested for domestic battery. Thursday night his wife called the police with reports that he had kicked and hit her. Then later she said he had only pushed her. He has a no contact order and can only go home to get his stuff. Guess this will make him semi-relevant for a minute. [Source]


    When did Mariah Carey loose weight and how could I have missed that? Could it be because she barely has any weight to loose. Apparently she is hinting at releasing a workout video that was inspired by her recent weight loss.
    "I think people should be a size they're comfortable with," she said. "But when you're constantly having your picture taken and on TV like I am, well, I could see I really did need to lose some of the bulk. "I might be doing a workout video, which will be a big joke anyway, but I can show how I did it. I still have curves, though." [Source]


    Ummm…WTH?!?!? Is what I have to say at this picture
    R. Kelly has lost his mind. Looks like somebody beat him with a bag of gold dust.


    Gossip Girl
    star Leighton Meeshter has an eye for design and would love to test out her design talents. She told NYLON "I love fashion, and sometimes I just feel like if I could only do and make whatever I wanted, it would make so much of a statement and really express who I am. So yes, in the future I would love to do a clothing label or work with a clothing label." Look like the new trend in the celebrity world is to start a clothing line. [Source]


    Singer Ashlee Simpson and musician Pete Wentz of the band 'Fall Out Boy' attends the OK! Magazine, Crush Management & Hilfiger Denim Host 'Viva La Karaoke' at Angels & Kings on March 31, 2008 in New York City.

    Bobby Brown
    is following in the footsteps of many of those before him. His is now telling it all in his new autobiography "The Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". The book is said to contain an array of controversial subjects, dirt on fellow celebs and startling self revelations. This is usually the sign that an artist realizes they are no longer relevant and need a way to keep themselves in the mind of the public. [Source
