Last night four-time Olympic Gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and her husband, two-time Super Bowl Champion Aaron Ross, celebrated the premiere of their new reality show "Sanya's Glam & Gold" with Estelle. See pics from the red carpet inside and watch an explosive Power 105.1 interview where Shay Johnson accuses her "LAHH ATL" co-star & enemy Erica Dixon of getting pregnant by a married man!

Last night, WeTV celebrated the launch of four-time Olympic Gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross' new reality show "Sanya's Glam & Gold". The party took place in New York City as The Gansevoort Park Ave. Estelle (shown atop) was one of the celebs who came out to congratulate Sanya (who sported a crop top and strapped on her gladiator sandals for the event).

Premiering on July 25th at 10pm on WeTV, Sanya stars on the show with her husband, New York Giants cornerback and two-time Super Bowl Champion Aaron Ross.  The show chronicles their marriage and the bond they share as athletes.  And we kinda love a hard core athlete who still knows how to keep it girly.

The couple's family and fellow cast members Sharon Richards, Shari Richards and Tyrell Gatewood were also on hand for the party.

Watch Sanya and Aaron discuss the show here:

And in "scandalous" reality tv news.....

"LAHH ATL" star Shay Johnson stopped by Power 105.1 and spilled the tea on what went on during the "LAHH ATL" Reunion taping last week.  The most SHOCKING admission dealt with the on and off again relationship between Shay's former boo Lil' Scrappy and his baby momma Erica Dixon.

While Shay admitted that she wasn't supposed to reveal what went on at the taping, she let it slip (a little intentionally), that a some point, Lil' Scrappy confronted Erica about having an affair with a married man AND getting pregnant!  

So where's Erica's baby bump?  When DJ Envy asked if Erica had an abortion, Shay couldn't confirm it but simply repeated that Scrappy said Erica had been pregnant by a married man (at some point).  Here are the highlights:

On Lil' Scrappy confronting Erica:

He said she was messing with a married man and got pregnant by him, thats we what he said on the reunion.

On how Erica was the side chick...when Scrappy was with Diamond:

When he was dealing with [rapper] Diamond, she was his side piece, she’s been his side piece for nine years. Erica was his side piece, Diamond was his main girl. He was living with Diamond, he was with her for five years and Erica was always opening those legs for him all the time.

On what she thinks of Kirk and Rasheeda's marriage and if she thinks Kirk is gay:

Kirk is wrong. I just really just wanted to jump through the screen and slap him.....I dont think he is gay. I just think he wanted to play and thats exactly what he did. I think there were issues that were going on that we obviously didn’t know about, it didn’t just start on television, they been together thirteen years.

Watch the interview below and hear Shay discuss Scrappy & Erica at (8:31) :

So far......neither Lil' Scrappy nor Erica have commented about each other on social media.  And we haven't heard Erica respond to Shay's interview......yet.

K. Michelle is exposing her insecurities in her new video for her newest single "I Don't Like Me".  Check out the visuals for the track that's all about turning on herself when she doesn't receive a man's love....

K.Michelle is letting the world know she had (or may still be) having issues with insecurities and esteem on the ballad "I Don't Like Me".  She sings that after having a sex with a man, she hopes he still likes her in the morning the same way he did the night before.  And when he leaves and is with other women, the insecurities and thoughts like "I wish I had her body" set in if she's prettier. 

So K. goes to a hidden lake to express her thoughts in the visuals for the newest single off her upcoming Rebellious Soul album.  Check out the video below:

And the tracklisting for the album is below:

New Musical Express is going inside Jay's circle to talk to folks that contributed to Magna Carta Holy Grail.  And to find out how he became the Superman of pop culture.  Here's an excerpt from REM's Michael Stipe, whose lyrics were used by Jay on the album:

Michael Stipe of REM has told NME that he is “thrilled” that Jay-Z chose to include lyrics by his band on his latest album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’. Speaking to NME as part of this week’s cover feature on the US rapper, Stipe discussed his relationship with Jay-Z and his reaction to words from his song ‘Losing My Religion’ appearing on his new song ‘Heaven’. “I’ve known Jay for a long time, he’s super cool, super grounded, super smart and super talented,” says Stipe in the magazine, available digitally and on newsstands from today (July 17). “I’ve always had the deepest respect for him, and his music and choices. We’re thrilled (for our lyrics) to be included, it’s a really great honour. 

Check out the full article below:

And after Jay & Timbaland fell out before theBluePrint 3 album, Timbaland apologized in his own way, and said it was totally his fault and was some personal ish. Timb revealed to Revolt TV that he actually wrote an apology track that he did with Keri Hilson.  

It was called "Sorry" and Keri spoke about apologizing for people thinking she came for Beyonce on several ocassions, while Timb said he just wanted to apologize for his own personal mess ups.  Especially when he missed Jay's 40th birthday over some emotional ish.

Check out both Timba nd jay speaking on their past beef above.

Gabby Union& her man Dwyane Wade just returned from a week long trip to China to promote Dwyane's sneaker company.  And their first red carpet stop after entering the states was last night's ESPY pre-party and "Body Issue" release.  Check out the sexy twosome boo'd up at the party, plus athletes LoLo Jones & Colin Kaepernick also hitting the carpet...

Love, basketball and fashion.  Gabby & Dwyane Wade were about all three last night at The Lure Nightclub in Los Angeles for the ESPY pre-party.  Gabby was hugged up on her man rocking a body hugging grey tank dress that showed off those toned arms, a cute bun and heels.  And D-Wade rocked a Kanye West tee under his blazer that said "Don't Talk About Style."

The effortless cute Gabby rocked a summer fresh face, hair pulled back in a bun and was smiling ear to ear.  Her tv movie Being Mary Jane did serious numbers on BET, she just wrapped the flick Think Like A Man Too in Vegas, she's 40 and barely looks 30, and her NBA champ of a man completely adores her.  We'd be smiling our asses off too.

We're told the twosome and guests sipped on Hennessy blueberry mojitos and got a live performance by Santigold.
 

Gabby caught up with her besties, fab chicks Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, and Essence Atkins.

This guy...

Colin Kaepernick, the sexy 49ers QB, held up his nude Body Issue cover of ESPN mag:

Yes Lawd.

And LoLo Jones, who's now competing for the US Olympic Bobsled Team, showed off her athletic bod in a sexy corset & lace dress and heels.  By the way, we hear she punched out the stepdaughter of the US Bobsled coach in a bar fight in Lake Placid last weekend.

Witnesses corroborate the story--they've been talking about it on social networks--but no charges have been filed.

LoLo, girl you aint about that life...

NBA baller Kenneth Faried showed off his sexy cover as well.

The Randomness:

1.  Looks like Kendall Jenner is the newest Kardashian/Jenner to nab herself a black man.  The 17-year-old model is reportedly dating her former high school sweetheart, a 19-year-old football player now at University of Nevada named Julian Brooks.  Must be a requirement that your boyfriend/girlfriend has to be a black athlete or celeb in order to get into the family BBQ.  Poor Scott.  STORY

Once Christina got inside the VIP suite, she passed out Platinum E Hookahs to each of the guests.  On Instagram, she revealed that she recently shot a  commerical for the brand, which is run by her boyfriend Jas Prince.

Chicks love switching up their hair on 'em.  So two of the baddest did exactly that last night.  Check out Rihanna's new gray look and Meagan Good going purple inside...

Rih Rih had some downtime in between her week long of gigs at Manchester Arena, so she used it wisely.  She got her hair done and did a complete change up of the color.  She went from blonde to "ice gray" as she calls it.  And of course, she gave her fans a few peeks:

She said, "New color ice grey ish, call it #Brrr....Grey is the new black! Blondies, it's quiet for y'all! #brrr"

Meanwhile, at last night's Diamonds World Tour concert at Manchester Arena, while she was rocking out with "Rude Boy", a rude fan threw chips at her own stage.  So Rih had to pop off and call it an Epic Fail. 

“There’s a good crazy and there’s a bad crazy. When you throw shit up here, that’s an epic fail…I swear to god, cut that shit out. Really, chips? Chips though?”

Check the video below:

And over in L.A., Meagan Good showed off her new Rainbow Brite inspired look:

Her stylists gave her long straight locks, dyed a bold purple.  Since she's no longer got a network show to look a certain way for, why not have a little fun with the hair, right?

So...

DO WE LOVE 'EM?!

VH1 has announced the return of three of their most popular reality tv franchises, "Basketball Wives", "Marrying The Game" and "“T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle”. Get their start dates inside, lus new promo pics of the "BBW" cast....

One of reality tv's most controversial (and ratchet, even though we hear the cast tried to cut back on that this season) reality shows, "Basketball Wives" is back for a fifth season.  We will watch Evelyn Lozada’s first attempts at rebuilding her reputation (and fixing her life) post-Chad Ochocinco, and we'll also meet her friend, Tasha Marbury. Tasha will be bringing the drama and baggage from a 17-year scandalous marriage to former NBA player Stephon Marbury, now of the Beijing Ducks.

In addition to the return of Tami Roman, Suzie Ketcham and Shaunie O'Neal, the press release also touts the "return" of a notorious wife from seasons past, a girls' trip to London and a confrontation with a woman whose alleged relationship with a player puts one of the wives in an uncomfortable position.  We hope it's Draya Michele!  Season five is set to premiere August 19 at 10PM ET/PT.

Also coming in August....

Tiffney Cambridge and Jayceon Taylor are back for a new season of "Marrying The Game." If you're wondering what the show will focus on (since their wasn't an actual wedding), this season looks at their "relationship" since Tiffney called off the wedding and moved out of their home.

According to the press release, she has regained her "independence", but the struggle to build a strong relationship is still there. She still wants to get married....but not until Jayceon leaves “The Game” behind and rededicates himself to his family.  And based on his party life, we all know that didn't happen.  We'll also see them focus on co-parenting their two children, Cali Dream (2 years old) and King Justice (6 years old). “Marrying The Game” Season 2 premieres Monday, August 5 at 9:30pm.

And back on their hustle....

The King of The South, T.I., and wife Tiny are back with their six kids for "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” premiering on Monday, August 5th, 9PMET. This season, viewers will watch T.I. reveling in the success of Troubleman: Heavy is the Head and the premiere of Hollywood’s biggest summer comedy “Identity Thief.” Also, Tiny is busy at home taking care of business with the OMG Girlz! and working to develop a new girl group, French Kiss.

They belted out their own hottest #1's and their collabos like "Suit & Tie" and "Magna Carta Holy Grail" for a packed concert crowd last night.  Hov & JT kicked their summer tour off with a bang last night in T.Dot.  And they looked like they had plenty of fun:

In case you were wondering what a day in the tour life is like.  The twosome roll into NYC to rock Yankee Stadium for two nights this weekend.  Nice!  Check out their live performance of "Holy Grail" below:

And over in Chicago, Jay's wife Beyonce brought her Mrs. Carter Show tour to the home of the Obamas.  And First Lady Michelle & First Daughters Sasha & Malia were there too since they were visiting home for a while this summer:

Cute! By the way, Mrs. O wasn't just there to stand in the sun with Bey.  She was in her hometown to do some fab work.

Yesterday, The First Lady and Mayor Rahm Emanuel visited Urban Alliance Chicago, a year-long career education and employment program for underserved high school seniors which enriches students’ lives through paid internships, formal training, and mentoring. The visit is part of the First Lady’s focus on youth empowerment and providing more opportunities for young people to achieve their full potential.

In one of their first interviews since the George Zimmerman verdict was announced, the parents of Trayvon Martin appeared on "GMA" this morning and revealed their "shock" and "disgust".  Watch the interview inside....

In one of their first public appearances since the George Zimmerman"Not Guilty" verdict was handed down this past weekend, the parents of Trayvon Martin, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, appeared on "GMA" in a heartbreaking interview where they discussed their feelings and thoughts since the trial.  Here are the highlights:

Sybrina on the verdict:

I really didn't believe that he was not guilty. My first thought was shock, disgust.

Sybrina on Trayvon's response to being followed by George Zimmerman:

I think people are forgetting that Trayvon was a teenager, so he probably thought as a teenager. I really do believe he was afraid because he did call George Zimmerman creepy. So he was afraid and if you are 17 years old and you are afraid, you may not know what to do.

Tracy on the verdict:

As parents, understanding how they reached the verdict, I'll never grasp that concept. Just as loving parents and God-fearing people, we just continue to pray that whatever was in their heart was what they intended to do. But we didn't feel it was fair and, of course, it was devastating.

Tracy on his son Trayvon:

I wish they really knew Trayvon for who he was and knew that he was a kid. They didn't know him as a human being, a very decent human being, a fun-loving kid. He loved kids. I just wish they had an opportunity to really know who Trayvon was and to put that in context with what their decision was.

Tracy on the apology George Zimmerman's parents offered:

There's no winner in this situation. Obviously, we are devastated more. I just think that all the circumstances surrounding books being written and the mischaracterization of us as parents, I just really don't feel that it's real sincere. But we continue to pray that we'll find peace and strength to be forgiving parents.

Tracy on going forward:

I think moving forward we need to educate ourselves as a community on the gun laws, on the laws, on the statutes. We need to come together more as a whole, not individual people, not individual races, religions. We need to come together as God's people.

We need to start learning each other, understanding each other. You can't just judge a book by its cover. Something is wrong in so many ways to say that someone is suspicious just because you don't know them.

Sybrina on moving forward:

It's not just about the Trayvon Martin case, Now it's about your kids. It's about other kids. What do we tell our sons?

Watch the interview below:

The two also appeared on "The View" this morning.

Fantasia is back on track and she's got a new gig on Broadway.  Get the deets inside, plus sneak peeks at Idris Elba in the new Mandela bipic and Jamie Foxx as the villain in Amazing Spiderman 2...

Fanny is spending her days in the gym, being a mom to two kiddies, and promoting her Side Effects Of You music.  And so far, it's keeping her life drama free.  Now, she's got a new gig as the first guest star in the Broadway production of After Midnight.

After working it out in The Color Purple on Broadway back in '07, Fanny will be one of 25 singers and dancers to star in the jazzy musical production. Broadway.com describes it in full:

Conceived by Jack Viertel, After Midnight is an evocative new musical that tackles the sexy, smoky glamour of the Jazz Age, set in the heyday of Duke Ellington’s years at Harlem’s Cotton Club. The ever-changing list of stars is reflective of the Cotton Club’s weekly rotation of guests during its “Celebrity Nights,” which included the likes of Lena Horne, Judy Garland, George Gershwin, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.

Sounds right up her alley.  She will perform from the beginning of previews on October 18 through February 9, 2014, and will be the major headliner for the official opening on November 3.  Congrats Fanny!

As the world celebrates Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday today, a brand new teaser for the new film about Mandela's life just hit the net. Check out the first peek at Idris Elba playing the iconic South African leader below:

The Long Walk To Freedom biopic hits theaters in 2014. The fab Naomie Harris will play Winnie Mandela.

And finally, the first teaser for Amazing Spiderman 2 is out.  Jamie Foxx, who plays villain Electro, can be seen in his new buff & scary role.  This first sneak peek is being shown at Comic-Con:

Dude looks scary as hell...

Draya's got a new man, and she made it known at last night's ESPY Awards.  Check out how she and her NFL baller made their big debut, plus LeBron & Savannah looking hot at the afterparty....

Before they headed over to the ESPY afterparty (pictured above), "Basketball Wives: LA" star and booty model Draya showed off her new man before the awards show and on the red carpet of last night's 2013 ESPY Awards.

And she said about her new boo Orlando Scandrick,"I sang "I can't wait till I get you on the floor good looking" so many times yesterday. I'm annoying but you love it....Sand meet beach. Say hello. Be nice."

Orlando is a 26-year-old Cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys.  And the Cali native is chillin' back home with Draya all summer before NFL training camp starts in a couple weeks.  Well isn't that special.  Looks like she's solidified herself a storyline just in case "BBW LA" ever sees the light of day again.

Also at the afterparty:

King & soon-to-be Queen James changed clothes and snapped a pic looking pretty damn hot.  'Vannah rocked a red deep plunging mini dress with a folded detail, and Bron Bron posted a pic of a backshot since he couldn't get enough of looking his damn self:

That wasn't the only gorge look of Savannah's last night.  As she kicked it front row with Gabby & Dwyane Wade, the twosome still kept it fly in a red satin suit and a dramatic embroidered gown:

Nice.

BONUS:  During last night's Award show, "SNL" star Jay Pharoh did his best Jay-Z impression of how he is as a sports agent.  Hilar.  Check it out below.

Rapper Wale is helping put a young woman through Hampton University via a $25,000 scholarship.  Get the deets inside and see Keke Wyatt and Lil' Mo in concert at the Howard Theatre in Washington, DC and speaking on Trayvon Martin...

Lauren Pryor (shown atop with Wale at his "Gifted" release party in NYC) won a $25,000 "Gifted" scholarship from the rapper, which she'll use to continue her studies at Hampton University.  According to the Gazette-Journal, the scholarship came at a good time as Lauren almost considered leaving the university because of rising costs.

“Winning this scholarship was truly a blessing. Almost not returning to Hampton University in the fall because of expenses, I was exceedingly fortunate to receive this scholarship. It was truly a test of faith.”

And Lauren's win was a mixture of fate and good luck. During her interview, she described the process of calling into Norfolk hip-hop station 103 JAMZ and being the 25th caller:

"I was on my way to a friend’s home in Hampton. The station said to call between 4 and 5 p.m. I called four or five times. The line was always busy.  On about the 14th call I told myself to give it a rest. I was taking the phone from my face and had my thumb on the ‘end’ button when I heard a man say ‘hello.’  I didn’t believe it. He told me there were millions of calls and he only picked up the phone 14 times nationwide."

Congrats to Lauren. It's great to see Wale paying forward the success of "Gifted."

And in Washington, DC.......

LA's R&B Divas Lil' Mo (of LA) and KeKe Wyatt (of ATL) brought the house down at Howard Theatre last night.  And while many reality shows are full of chicks with no talent, Lil' Mo put them on blast saying "@keke_wyatt and iCan sing in real life yo!!!!"

Lil' Mo, who's in the running to become the breakout star of the LA cast, also posted a few bootylicious pics of her Derrick L Hughes-designed catsuit.  "All mine!!! No shots. No pads. Just let the lord use ya!! :-)"

Meanwhile, KeKe showed off her "bubbly" personality and treated the fans to a myriad of funny faces on stage.

Watch "Put It On Me" and "Superwoman":

Watch Keke dedicate "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" to Trayvon Martin and give a tearful performance:
