Keyshia Cole is working hard on both a new mixtape and album, and judging by recent news, she might be singing in the key of pissed off again. You’ve heard about the tax lien, but there’s also the rumor about her seemingly estranged husband, NBA player Daniel Gibson, allegedly cheating on her with a Houston stripper.
Gibson, who is from H-TINE, has been posting images of himself with the strippers and all of the cash he’s given him. Needless to say, Lady Cole Gibson isn’t pleased:
You have to GO! Take yo ass back to HTown! U can have him boo. #Trust

Be strong, Keysh, and feel free to curse a Negro out on the record if you feel the urge. I wouldn’t mind an upgraded The Way It Is. [Baller Alert]
During her recent appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, La La Anthony answered the age-old question: “So, girl, how do I find me a rich man?”
Well, the new relationship book author says: “You don’t try to get a baller, just be confident in yourself when you go out there and you’ll attract great energy and you’ll get the right kind of attention. Guys can tell when your desperate and thirsty and sometimes guys use that for negative things.”
This is boring. Evelyn Lozada, show me the way. I know you you know, sis. [The Jasmine Brand]
There’s someone out here claiming that Kanye West is cheating on Kim Kardashian with a Kim Kardashian lookalike named Gabriella Amore.
One blog caught up with the accuser who also claims that a Kanye sex tape awaits us: “Listen, I’m almost 100% about the girl, and this is why: after the whole Kanye situation I was so shocked I had to run and tell my boys. Listen to this crazy shit…the info I got from them is supposedly this is the girl that was in Kanye’s alleged sex tape. People are saying she was bragging about having some video on her phone with her and Kanye, and she’s waiting till him and Kim tie the knot to leak it so she can get big money. I was in South Beach late December/early January so I’m gonna say it was either Jan. 5th or 4th that I spotted them.”

In other cheating tales, there is allegedly more to the reported rift between T.I. and Tiny than initially let on. Funky Dineva claims: “The truth of the matter is the crux of T.I. & Tiny’s recent issues stem from the baby T.I. has fathered outside of their marriage. Those closest to T.I. & Tiny are keeping it cute, but the Atlanta streets and big mouth members of T.I. & Tiny’s camp are talking. I’m told the baby is definitely less than a year old. So there it is…”
I don’t want to be on Tip or Tiny’s bad sides, so that is posted without further comment. [Funky Dineva]
Despite initially denying a relationship, there’s still talk of Katie Holmes dating Jamie Foxx. Per a source: “Katie flew private to California to stay with Jamie at his home around the Grammys. Foxx’s beautiful daughter Corinne was his date for the Grammys. But he and Holmes also spent time together during Super Bowl weekend, although they attended the game separately.” [Page Six]
Cassie is not engaged, writing in a now deleted Instagram shot: “I need more. Like Wayyyyy more. Happy & In Love. Not Engaged.” [Necole Bitchie]
Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon are already married, but are now planning a fairytale wedding. Insert concerned auntie and uncle stare here. In any event, Whitney Houston’s baby girl says, “We are planning a big wedding later this year. It’s going to be very royal, classic and beautiful — just a phenomenal ceremony. We’re going for the full fairytale. We’re excited, we’re starting a new life together, a family too. We’re leaving it all to surprise, but I feel I can do it all.” [The Sun]
Have any of you Braxton Family Values watchers been watching Towanda Braxton teasing rumors of her dating Kordell Stewart and thinking, “But, uh, aren’t you married and recording with your husband for your reality show?” Tamar Braxton certainly has, so when asked by Andy Cohen about the rumors on Watch What Happens Live, Tamar said, “I ain’t never met no Kordell, and last time I checked, Towanda was married so I don’t know the tea on that.” [Bravo]
Two of the biggest stars of the 00s might be back together. Well, unofficially but we might see them together all the time ala their first go ‘round. Yes, Nelly and Ashanti have been spotted partying together in Atlanta and together with Diddy for various Super Bowl activities in New York. However, they made sure not to be photographed together. Shut up, I already know what you’re thinking. Be nice and let them have it. [Rhymes With Snitch]
Lastly, Chris Brown looks healthy again, and thanks to a judge’s decision, won’t be incarcerated. A Los Angeles judge has turned down Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray’s request to send Brown to jail, citing his progress in a live-in rehabilitation program and continued good behavior. While speaking on his client, Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said, "I say keep things on a short leash. Keep him where he is now. "He is making great strides and all you have to do is look at him, and I've known him for five years. He's as good as he's ever been."
Well, that explains all of the snippets of his music hitting the Web. [NBC News]
