Raven Symone Addresses Rumors That She’s A Lesbian, Says Her Sexual Orientation Is Private

Hip Hop No Responses »

May 182012

After rumors swarmed the net this week that actress Raven Symone is gay and is living with her grlfriend, Raven has snapped back saying her sexual orientation is only for her..and who she’s dating…to know.

Check out how she addressed the rumors today inside…

Apparently Raven’s geeting a bit tired of the topic of internet talk being whether or not she’s an undercover lesbian who is secretly livign with her girlfriend. The Sister Act Broadway actress, who, along with many celebs and personalities, previously shot for the NoH8 campaign which raises awareness for getting rid of legislation that bans same sex marriage–tweeted what she thought about the hoopla and attention just moments ago. In a cryptic non-confirming manner of course:

I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now.
My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m datings to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life.

However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone.

I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!

So while she didn’t confirm her sexual orientation, can we read between the lines and take a pretty good guess? We loves us some Raven either way. Even the nosey parts of us….

WELL DAMN: Will Smith SMACKS Russian Reporter Who KISSES Him

Hip Hop No Responses »

May 182012

Will Smith had to "Get Philly" on a Ukrainian reporter who tried to get kissy with him on the red carpet. Watch Big Willy put the smack down inside…

While walking the red carpet in Moscow for the debut of Men in Black 3, a reporter from the Ukraine (who’s known for kissing celebs) found out the hard way that Will Smith isn’t one to catch off guard.

Will happily greeted the reporter at first….but after the "sneak" kiss, Will pushed him away and gave him a quick smack to the face. After the smack, Will said, "He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him."

Watch it all go down here:

Supposedly this reporter does this with many celebs…but Will wasn’t having that ish. His girl doesn’t play that. And if one of y’all ask if I’m talking about Duane Martin..you know you’re wrong…

May 182012

Yesterday, we lost “Queen of the Disco” Donna Summer, who passed away at 63 years-old after battling cancer. Summer will live on forever thanks to her music, which spawned a groundbreaking legacy that paved the way for many contemporary female singers. Beyoncé recognized this, releasing a statement on her website that says the late artists was “an honest and gifted singer with flawless vocal talent.”

The Urban Daily has listed five artists, including Beyoncé, who owe the “Love To Love Ya Baby” singer a debt of gratitude.

Without Summer, Beyonce wouldn’t know the art of Hot seductive singing while keeping it classy.

Jay-Z Explains Why He Signed Rita Ora [VIDEO]

Hip Hop No Responses »

May 182012

Jay-Z’s stamp of approval goes a long way in music, and while his newest protégé, Rita Ora, has yet to officially blow up the Roc Nation head has faith in her abilities. In an interview with VEVO Lift, Hov explained why he drafted the “R.I.P.” singer to the RN team. “You can see the potential,” he said. “When she enters a room it changes and that presence you can’t duplicate that, especially at a young age. It was just infectious to me, like ‘man she loves this’ she’s driven in that way.”

Since signing the blonde beauty, Jay has been in promotion mode for his own projects, but still finds time to plug Ora’s new music. In February he stopped by New York City’s Z100 to preview her “Party And Bullshyte” single to execs at the station who immediately threw the record on air. “This is all very spontaneous for us, we just came to see some great friends over here, and play some music,” he said.”They liked what they heard and said ‘let’s just throw it on the air,’ which is great.

Ora’s has gotten a healthy amount of buzz for both her music and personal life. She has yet to announce a release date for her debut, but with Jay at the helm, she can’t lose.
