CELEB PICS: BOW WOW & OMARION @ 'FACE OFF' LP RELEASE PARTY; CHRIS BROWN, VIVICA FOX CANDIDS IN BEVERLY HILLS.

Actress Vivica A. Fox and a couple of her friends were seen strolling around Beverly Hills on November 26, 2007.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That beige cutie patootie Chris Brown was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills recently.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rapper Bow Wow and R&B singer Omarion grew so annoyed with each other when recording their joint album Face Off (in stores December 11), they often went for days without speaking. The young stars decided to collaborate for the album after spending so much time together socially. But they assure fans the disc is a one-off project. Omarion tells MTV, "We actually went through a point in our relationship where we wasn't talking. A couple of times. It's to me what makes our relationship real. The other day we were debating about a record, going back and forth yelling. That's what makes this relationship real. This bond is unbreakable. We really grew up together in the industry."

Here are the guys at their Face Off album release party at Club Madison in New York City on November 26, 2007.

SCANS OF DR. DONDA WEST (KANYE'S MOTHER) ENTIRE FUNERAL OBITUARY

Once I finished reading Kanye's mother's obituary, the first word out of my mouth was, 'Wow.' She led a full and prosperous life and she accomplished so much during her time here. The handwritten statement written by Dr. West on her obit was beyond inspirational and deep too. There should be no regrets whatsoever about what she didn't get a chance to do...or a place to go...or a person to see. Our God knows best. He made sure her time here wasn't in vain. She lived to see her son reach international success after coming so close to loosing him. The only true sad, part of all of this is she won't be here in physical form to see her lil Chipmunk get married. I know for a fact that she was looking forward to his wedding. But, the good news, at least from what I have heard, is that Kanye is doing a lot better than people expected. Bless his heart.

As for the family's request to the other attendees asking them to leave the celebrities alone, it couldn't have been more appropriate. I'm glad they did it. As a matter of fact, I think all high-profile celebrity funerals should be private because some people tend to lose their damn minds and get all groupie-giddy-like whenever they see a celeb...no matter where they are.

Case in point: The family of TLC's Lisa Lopes had so much compassion for Lisa's fans that they made her funeral public just so her fans could say goodbye to her alongside Lisa's celebrity friends. I guess her family never took into consideration the fact that some people just don't know how to act when it comes to showing the deceased a little respect. Long story short: once celebs began entering the church, all hell broke loose. 'HEY WHITNEY!', 'OMG! USHER AND CHILLI! USHER AND CHILLI LOOK UP HERE! HEY YALL!', 'JANET!, JANET! OOH, YALL JANET'S HERE!'

I mean, really!

'COLLEGE HILL'S' WILLIE MACC DETERMINED TO GO FROM A REALITY STAR TO A MOVIE STAR; WITH OR WITHOUT HIS RETRO AFRO.

While you rarely hear much from most reality TV stars once their show goes off the air, Willie Macc is trying to make sure that he is one of the few that successfully makes that transition to that of a reputable actor. Best known thus far as the funny man on Season 4 of College Hill, Willie Macc has been able to continue his small screen appearances by landing small roles on CBS' CSI and NBC's Journeyman. To hone his acting skills, he has been taking acting classes taught by (now famed) actress Tasha Smith (Why Did I Get Married?). He co-starred in House Arrest, the soon to be released, direct to video comedy, written and directed by Ezekiel Dickson. The actor takes on the "Chris Tucker" role in this Friday like comedy; apparently just bigger and even funnier.

It seems as though that some in Hollywood are questioning whether or not the actor's hair style is suited for the majority of today's leading roles. A very noticeable element of his branded look, his unique retro afro made him one of the most recognizable cast members of College Hill Virgin Islands.

When asked about his thoughts on if his hair style is holding him back, Willie Macc responded, "I've worked a little these past months; (it) didn't get me in American Gangster, but a lot of other folks didn't get in it either. Hey, but if cutting the fro will land me the co-starring role of the son in the new Bernie Mac comedy series, pass ME the scissors. Afro or not, I'm still gonna be Willie Macc Bitch!.....", the latter being a line that he made famous during his College Hill days.

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN ADD YOUR 2 CENTS ON RATHER WILLIE MACC'S RETRO AFRO SHOULD STAY OR GO.

In a move considered bold by some, the actor has decided to let the public determine the fate of his afro. Several thousand of his fans on MySpace, Facebook and YouTube have voted via an online poll and text messaging to let him know what they think he should do. You can let Willie Macc know your opinion as to whether he should keep the fro or let it go by voting at www.myspace.com/kingonthemic or by sending a text message (provided by www.polleverywhere.com) to '41411'. If you want him to keep the afro, then send the message "cast 11251"; if you feel the fro must go!, send "cast 11252".

Staying close to what helps make him a good comedic actor, Willie Macc is also continuing to work on his stand-up comedy. Performing in the past in comedy clubs in and around Los Angeles and New Orleans.

NICOLE RICHIE REACHES OUT TO HER BIOLOGICAL MOTHER; SAYS LIONEL'S EXCITED ABOUT HIS 1st GRANDCHILD

I swear everytime I read something positive and inspirational involving Nicole Richie, rather she said it or not, it just makes me adore her even more, bless her heart. Especially considering everything she has gone through over the past couple of years.

Reality star Nicole Richie says that becoming pregnant has inspired her to mend her relationship with her biological parents. "It wasn't an overnight decision, but actually, yes," she told Billy Bush in a two-part interview that begins airing on Access Hollywood Tuesday night. "When I found out that I was pregnant, there was just something inside of me that felt a responsibility to mend any issues that I've had with my parents in the past, because listen, I have put them through a lot. Of course, you just want to heal any wounds before I become a mother myself," she added.

The 8-months-pregnant celebrity told Bush that she does know her biological mother. But, there have been reports that she doesn't maintain contact with either one of her biological parents.

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT HOW LIONEL ORIGINALLY RESPONDED TO THE NEWS REGARDING NICOLE'S PREGNANCY.

Richie said that her adoptive father, Lionel Richie, is excited about the baby, but doesn't want to be called "grandpa. It's all he talks about, actually. Of course, a father's first reaction, he was quiet and didn't really know what to think and I just said, 'Okay, so that's the news, so call me tomorrow,' because I like to give him a day whenever I give him news," she said. "He called me the next day and he was so excited and now he just doesn't stop. He has all these names that he's ready for the baby to call him, in substitute of 'grandpa,' because he doesn't like 'grandpa.'"

So far Richie and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte's Joel Madden, don't know whether they are having a boy or a girl. She admits that she's curious, but Madden has been with her for every doctor's visit so she hasn't been able to ask on her own. "I'm nosy," she said.

The couple have been dating since December 2006, but have no immediate plans to get married. "Well, look how much has happened this year," she said. "I got to hold something for when I get older, I can't have everything happen all in one year."

*UPDATED INFO* CHESTER THE MOLESTER A.K.A. R. KELLY STRIKES AGAIN; *THE DANIELS RELEASE STATEMENT ON SITUATION.*

READ THE UPDATED INFO IN THE ORANGE, BOLD TEXT BELOW.

Is Chester the Molester a.k.a. R. Kelly still up to his shiesty and pedophile ways? That's the topic of discussion in just about every urban chatroom, messageboard and blog site on the Internet. The madness began when Kelly's longtime publicist of 14 years, Regina Daniels, severed her personal and professional relationship with Kelly last August. However, the shocking news of her resignation only surfaced about a week ago. The same woman (as well as her husband, George) who has publicly cleaned up after his ass, fought for and stood by Kelly--both professionally and personally--during the most turbulent times of his life said in a statement: "Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship." Now, that's deep.

Whispers around the web and whatnot suggest the reason the Daniels ended all ties with the multi-platinum singer is because he was allegedly bedding their 21-year-old daughter, Maxine, who Kelly has known since she was 4-years-old. There was a time when dude referred to her as his 'lil sis.' Son of a bitch. It's a damn shame that Kelly (who gave the Daniels a shout out at the end of his hit song Step in the Name of Love remix) would piss on (no pun intended) the only two people who doled out so much faith, trust and respect to his Pee Wee Herman ass only to have it all tainted and stomped on because of this international idiot's inability to behave like a 41-year-old grown ass man instead of a teenage boy in heat at the height of his puberty stage. Monkey-dog ass muthaphuckah! I'm starting to believe that he just don't want anyone to care about his ass. His own brother and sister don't want to have anything to with him. His estranged wife, Andrea isn't far behind. And I'll bet yall dollars to donuts that his mom has been turning over in her grave for the past 6 or 7 years.

When contacted by EUR's Lee Bailey, Regina Daniels refused to comment on the photo (of her daughter which you can see below), or further explain her reasons for leaving the position. “Unless you’re calling to see how I’m doing, I’m still not going to comment on R. Kelly. I’ve said all I have to say,” Daniels told Bailey. She also said that if her husband, veteran music retailer George Daniels, wants to comment, Bailey can talk to him. Bailey called George Daniels, who also said "no comment," but clarified: "Bottom line is [R. Kelly] crossed a certain line with me and my wife that you shouldn't cross. I respect his talent. You can't deny he's a talented person. But beyond that, everything else is just gone." Daniels also affirmed that Kelly "never put his hand on Regina, or nothing like that." When asked if he is aware of Wednesday's explosion of Internet rumors about their daughter, he said, "I'm aware of that, too. No comment."

Oh, and let me stress the fact that this is all heresay for now. Besides, she's an adult. Now whether she was an adult when and/or if she hooked up with Kelly is a whole other story, right? Only time will tell what's in store for him. However, knowing R-ruh's track record for lusting after little girls, I will continue to stand by each and every comment I made about him in this blog post. And that's really all I have to say about that!

Regina's resignation statement: “Friends and Colleagues – After careful consideration and counsel, I have decided to formally announce my resignation as publicist for R&B artist R. Kelly.

"My resignation was effective as of August 28, 2007. Throughout the course of my 25 years as a publicist, I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14 year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist. Though I have a great appreciation for Mr. Kelly as an artist, there are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign.

My husband, music retailer George Daniels, has also disassociated himself from Mr. Kelly. George and I are grateful for the show of support and encouragement that we have already received from many of you. We want you to know that we thank you, sincerely. Without change, progress is impossible. Keeping that in mind, I am excited to tell you that my agency, Daniels Entertainment Group, has an incredible year of expansion and success planned for 2008. Be on the lookout for an update in the near future."

PICS: TRACY MORGAN SOLD-OUT, STALE STAND-UP ACT LEAVES HIM IN A NEAR EMPTY VENUE..

If the writer’s strike doesn’t end soon, you might want to light a candle for Tracy Morgan of 30 Rock. All seven of Morgan’s Thanksgiving week shows at comedy club Caroline’s on Broadway sold out, but unfortunately ticket sales and positive reviews aren’t mutually exclusive. Morgan still had more than 30 minutes left in his 90-minute Nov. 24 show when audience members began walking out.

According to a Caroline’s employee, dissatisfaction with the Saturday Night Live alum was spreading like staph as the week progressed. “Lots of people have been walking out early. I think people expected Tracy Jordan, not Morgan,” the employee said, referring to Morgan’s 30 Rock persona. The main difference between the two? Jordan is funny while Morgan just thinks he is.

Although Morgan's recent stand-up act fell faster than Beyonce as she tumbled down a flight of stairs during her sold-out concert in Orlando, Florida this summer, the comedian has managed to save his marriage after his estranged wife decided to take him back. Sabina, Morgan's wife of 22 years, has called off her divorce plans - just in time for the holidays. She reportedly told the troubled comic, who she kicked out of their home following a string of legal problems and drunken incidents, that she was keen for a reconciliation on his 39th birthday on November 10th. A source says, "Sabina let him return home on the condition that he stay sober... Now, they'll all be together for the holidays."

LL COOL J. GIVES HIS NEW BFF, 50 CENT, PROPS FOR HELPING HIM 'GET HIS MOJO BACK.' MMMMM-HMMMM.

Three words: He gon learn.

Rap veteran LL Cool J. has thanked 50 Cent for helping him "get his mojo back". The star - real name James Todd Smith III - insists he was shocked when the New York rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - called him up to offer some constructive criticism on 2006 LP Todd Smith. But LL Cool J remains adamant the advice helped him get back on track - and even inspired him to hire 50 Cent as co-producer on new album Exit 13 which is set for release in 2008.

He tells MTV.com, "It's an incredible feeling. And you know what? I have to give 50 props for that. If a guy calls you on the phone and says, 'You know what? Your last record was kinda slow and this was a little weak.' It was like, 'Yo, I just thought the record was slow, man, don't mess my LL up.' "It's great. I don't mind having a conversation with a guy who seems to have his finger on the pulse and having a conversation with him and talking with him and seeing if he can push me a little bit and get my mojo back. I didn't feel I fell off, but I felt I was a little bit out of touch with the things I should be thinking about."

Just three months ago, LL had pledged his everlasting love and loyalty to 50 Cent during his chart battle with Kanye West, insisting he planned to buy 10 copies of 50's new album...(i can't remember the title of the album, nor do I feel like looking it up) to ensure he succeeded in beating out West. At the time, LL told the New York Daily News, "I've heard some of Fifty's music, and I'm rooting for him. He's my man and I'm gonna ride with him. Nothing against Kanye, but I'm a team player. This is New York, everybody better be rooting for Fifty."

Man, please.

Oh, well. In the end, that publicity stunt (or not) turned into a a 'too bad, so sad' situation for Curtis...(oh, wait, that's the title of his album! LOL! anywhoo...) since Kanye outsold his ass something proper-like.

PLAYBOY COVER GIRLKIM KARDASHIAN ROBBED AT NEW YORK'S JFK AIRPORT; THIEVES MAKE OFF WITH $50GS IN JEWELRY & ELECTRONICS

Socialite Kim Kardashian has become the victim of a robbery, after thieves took items including $50,000 worth of diamond jewelery from her luggage after she arrived at a New York airport. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality TV star arrived at JFK Airport with her sister Kourtney recently after flying in from Las Vegas.

As she emerged from the arrivals area of the airport, she was surrounded by fans, paparazzi, and several Delta airline employees who requested to have their pictures taken with the raven-haired beauty. But while she was busy posing for photographs and signing autographs for the Delta employees, thieves stole jewelery, a Cartier watch, a laptop and a digital camera from Kardashian's bags. Kim said she noticed the theft shortly after the crowd dispersed, according to E! Online. And now Kardashian's representatives are looking into the possibility she had been set up by the airline employees, according to TMZ.com. A spokesperson for the airline has yet to comment on the allegations.

Kardashian’s initial media attention was focused on her close friendship with Paris Hilton, but her notoriety exploded and fame rose after it when it was revealed that she had made a sex tape with ex-boyfriend, Ray-J.

BRITNEY SPEARS 4 WEEKS PREGNANT BY MUSIC PRODUCER + EX-HUBBY, KEVIN VOTED TOP

This heffah, here! You have 2 kids that you've lost custody of because of your wayward antics, so why in the universal world would you put yourself in that same position once again for the third time?! I mean, really! Some shit just doesn't make any sense. 'Oops, I Did It Again' my ass.

Britney Spears is reportedly pregnant for the third time, and the singer is confessing all on a private MySpace page. According to Star magazine, someone claiming to be Spears made the revelation on the social networking website. The site includes private family pictures of the star and her family and a sonogram dated 14 November (07), as well as a message that reads, "Yes, I am pregnant and I am shocked, almost 4 weeks to be exact. I don't really know if I'm happy or sad. I am happy I guess. I saw the ultrasound and it was really kewl (sic)." Spears says she is sure that the father is J.R. Rotem, a music producer she's been seeing on and off since she separated from ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2006.

When asked about the pregnancy, J.R. confirmed exclusively to In Touch magazine that Britney is carrying his child. "It's true," he says. For all her recent troubles, she seems convinced that having another baby will turn her life around — and she believes that J.R. will make a great father, even though he explicitly talked about their sex life in Blender magazine earlier this year. The publication, which features new photos clearly showing Spears with what looks like a baby bump is on news stands now.

In related news, Federline has been given a boost in the midst of his child custody trial with Spears - he has been named the seventh most-influential man under 45 in Hollywood in a new magazine poll. Federline also lands the cover of the upcoming Power 50 issue of Details magazine. He tops the new list alongside 'Disney Kids' Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Shia LaBoeuf and Hilary Duff. Federline also shares the title of The Good Fathers on the list - with Anna Nicole Smith's ex Larry Birkhead. The magazine declares, "By being more visible presences in their children's lives than many Hollywood A-listers, they emerged as unlikely candidates for Dad of Year."

CASH MONEY RECORDS CEO, BIRDMAN & HIS 18-YEAR-OLD WIFE AMONG 16 ARRESTED, CHARGED AND JAILED ON DRUG CHARGES.

In Kingsport, Tennessee, Cash Money Records CEO/rapper Bryan "Birdman" Williams, 38, and his brother, 43-year-old, Ronald "Slim" Williams were arrested and charged with possession of more than a 1/2 ounce of marijuana during a traffic stop on Tuesday. Also arrested along with the Williams' brothers was "Birdman's" 18-year-old wife Brittany Williams. Road manager Shahid Muhammad, 40, Cash Money Records promoter Casey Collins, 42, and music promoter Ovide Antoine, 32, of Miami, Fla. were also arrested. All 16 remained jailed late Tuesday night. It was not known if any of them had an attorney.

The arrests came on Interstate 81 after the group's rented RV, which had Florida tags, was pulled over for an improper lane change. Police said they could smell marijuana from inside the RV and located about a pound of the weed in a trashcan in the RV's kitchenette after obtaining consent to search the vehicle. Police told the Kingsport Times-News that an assault rifle, a handgun and a clip for a .45 caliber handgun were also seized Tuesday evening. No one has been charged with weapons violations as of press time, although the ATF is investigating the source of a 2-23 carbine assault rifle, which is often used by military and law enforcement officials.

Group members said they were headed from New Orleans to New York for an appearance on BET.

The Williams brothers started Cash Money Records in 1992 and through the years, the label has released hit recordings by The Hot Boys, Juvenile, Turk, Lil’ Wayne, B.G. and Bryan "Baby" Williams.

FOXY FREED FROM FOXHOLE; RAPPER RELEASED FROM SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AT RIKERS.

She may still be in prison, but Foxy Brown is back among the general population at Rikers Island after officials there ended her "punitive segregation" 36 days early. Inga Marchand, the real name of Foxy Brown, spent 40 days separated from the general population. Foxy was placed in isolation last month after she reportedly got into a fight with a fellow inmate on their way to the dining hall, according to E! The fight wasn't the only problem for Foxy Brown, who allegedly also refused to submit a urine sample for a drug test. Foxy also reportedly berated corrections officers.

Originally, Foxy Brown was sentenced to 76 days in solitary compartment while her fight-mate only got 11 days. During her 40 days apart, Foxy Brown spent 23 hours a day alone in a cell, including the recent holidays. For that one rare hour a day, Foxy Brown could meet with her lawyer and other visitors or visit the library. 36 days were cut off the sentence due to good behavior. Because of her celebrity status, Foxy Brown is still receiving protective custody as a safety measure in general population.

It won't even be over when Foxy gets out as she still faces multiple counts from an incident where she reportedly threw her BlackBerry at a neighbor. Last month, Foxy Brown pleaded not guilty to assault, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. And that's not it. There are also two misdemeanor charges from an arrest in Fort Lauderdale last February. Foxy Brown needs to learn how to behave both behind and in front of bars.

*UPDATED INFO* USHER'S WIFE, TAMEKA, GIVES BIRTH TO A BABY BOY

Usher and his wife, Tameka Foster, welcomed a baby boy on Monday night, multiple sources tell PEOPLE. While reps for Usher and Foster were not immediately available for comment, one source says Usher was with his wife and new child Tuesday at an Atlanta hospital, and the family is expected to head home on Wednesday.

According to Sandra Rose at sandrarosenews.blogspot.com, Big Daddy himself phoned Atlanta radio host, Ryan Cameron on Tuesday to confirm his new status as a proud Poppa as well as details of his firstborn son and namesake's birth. At around 10 pm on Monday night, Usher Raymond V entered this world weighing in at 7 lbs, 9 oz.; with a height of 21.5 inches. Usher, who assisted Tameka with the delivery said, "I did it all, I did what I had to do." The multi-platinum artist also said he and his wife are 'going back and forth' in choosing a middle name for their bundle of joy.

Usher, 29, and Foster, 36, announced the pregnancy in June. In September, Usher told PEOPLE that they were expecting a boy, and added, "I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost."

The couple were married in a quiet civil ceremony in Atlanta on Sept. 1.

Now yall know an Usher post on RealGossip 101would not be complete without a little clowning on my part, therefore and thus and such, don't trip! LOL!

If Usher's baby boy is as cute and adorable as his poppa once was in the to the left, I feel sorry for Meka's other sons. Let Adele Givens tell it, kids who women have by a celebrity receive loads of special treatment than her other kids whose father just happens to be a regular Joe. That celeb kid's wants and needs is gonna trump his siblings wants and needs almost everytime.

I can hear Tameka screaming to her other kids, "Yall shut yall lil asses up ...except for you Usher the fifth; you talk all you want to and you can have some ice cream too..yes, Usher the fifth we can go to Disneyland in the morning. And HELL NAW the rest of yall can't go...yall gon care yall lil asses to school! So, shut the fuck up and go to bed!"
