Usher's stepson, KILE GLOVER Laid To Rest [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

Family and friends gathered privately in Atlanta on Friday (July 27) to lay to rest young Kile Glover, Usher Raymond's 11-year old stepson, who died from injuries suffered in a tragic Jet Ski accident earlier this month.

Glover was the son of Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster, and Atlanta TV executive Ryan Glover. He was struck by a Jet Ski while floating in an inner tube on Atlanta's Lake Lanier on July 6.

There was no fanfare outside the Wieuca Road Baptist Church on Peachtree Road where the funeral was held, but inside, the Glover, Foster and Raymond families received tremendous amounts of support from many esteemed members of Atlanta's music and political communities. Ludacris, Jazze Pha and Phaedra Parks from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" were just some of the celebrities in attendance. The hour-long service began at 11 a.m.

Take a peek  at an interview provided by Rolling Out who was on hand for the service.

MUSIC NEWS: Snoop Dogg Goes Reggae/Changes Name

After nearly 20 years and 11 albums in the rap game, Snoop Dogg is looking for a change of pace. Last weekend the West Coast icon announced plans to release an album of reggae songs under the alias Snoop Lion, and now he's giving fans a taste of the new direction with new single "Lalala."

Produced by Diplo's dancehall fusion outfit Major Lazer, "Lalala" finds the Doggfather singing along to a chilled-out reggae groove.

Lest observers write Snoop Lion off as a joke, Snoop has created all new social media accounts to go along with the persona. Not to mention that the Dogg has begun locking his signature plaited mane.

"Sing wit me now!" he recently wrote on Twitter, posting a link to download "Lalala" on iTunes.

Snoop Lion's first album, Reincarnated, doesn't yet have a release date.

After 27 years of vamping on catwalks and posing for cameras, Naomi­Campbell, 42, has some advice to impart to young models: 

“What­ever you do, do it 110 percent,” she says, sounding unnervingly stern. “That’s what my mother taught me, and it’s what I’ve always believed in.” 

Louis Vuitton acrylic and wool jacquard coat and embellished wool and calfskin bag. Cartier at Siegelson vintage 14k gold, citrine, and diamond ring and bracelet. Salvatore Ferragamo heels.

Beauty note: Essie polish in Penny Talk keeps nails metallic-chic.

Such words of wisdom are but a ­teaser for her new show The Face, a model-­competition series airing next year on the Oxygen network. Campbell (whose early television appearances included a role on The Cosby Show in 1988) will star as a ­mentor—­responsible for “nurturing” contestants.

Marc Jacobs wool blend jacquard jacket. Malia Mills velvet knickers. Eclat Jewels titanium and diamond brooch; John Hardy 18k yellow gold, sterling silver, topaz, and amethyst two-finger ring; Tod s clutch; Tom Ford sandals.

Mary Katrantzou silk cape and blouse. Malia Mills velvet knickers. Arlette Sarkissians 18k gold, enamel, and Swarovski Elements necklace; Missoni clutch; No. 21 sandals.

Beauty note: Flaunt-worthy legs stay smooth with Gillette Satin Care With a Touch of Olay shave gel.

The supermodel-turned-celebrity is close enough with NelsonMandela to call him “granddad,” but she’s not above doing, and watching, reality TV. “I love the Real Housewives—all of them,” she effuses.

 “Of course, I would never expose myself in that way,” 

Miu Miu mohair jacket and pants. David Webb 18k yellow gold, carnelian, chalcedony, and diamond necklace; Bally bag; Yves SaintLaurent pumps.

adds Campbell, who now resides in Moscow with her billionaire boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin, and would make a spectacular Russian Housewife, if there ever were one.

 “But I’m happy to share my experiences.”

VIDEO PREMIERE: Trina - 'I’m Back (Back 2 Business)’

The Diamond Princess and her girls get soaking wet while washing exotic cars, later heading out in a party bus as they work the pole.

I came across a lot of negative feedback about the video. Some saying that it was 'low budget' and Trina needs to 'hang it up'. They feel as if she is not stepping outside of the box and sticking to her guns.

If you recall Trina also made an appearance on June Ambrose's show where she tried to revamp her brand.

WELL, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Check out more pics from the shoot below!!

BREAKING: Katherine Jackson Reported Missing by Family Member

4:44 AM PT -- The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department issued a release that says, "Katherine Jackson is reportedly with family members. Late Saturday night, a different family member reported that he was unable to speak with her and is concerned for her well being. Deputies are continuing to make efforts to reach her and ask that she contact the Malibu / Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department."


Katherine Jackson has been reported missing by her nephew late Saturday night ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

According to our sources, a nephew of Katherine's filed a missing person's report with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department after her grandchildren had been unable to reach her for over a week.

Jermaine Jackson tweeted earlier this week that Katherine was in Arizona resting up on doctor's orders. But early this morning, Paris Jackson tweeted,

She followed that up with a plea for people to call the authorities if they see her, then added,

Katherine Jackson's lawyer told CNN she has never gone more than 24 hours without speaking to her grandchildren.

As TMZ previously reported, the Jackson family has been feuding of late ... with Randy, Jermaine, Tito, Rebbie and Janet Jackson seeking to have the executors of the Michael Jackson Estate resign from their positions.

A letter that leaked on the internet, written by the aforementioned Jacksons, claimed that John Branca and John McClain had "taken advantage of the family ... and have stressed out Katherine Jackson so much, that she recently suffered a "mini-stroke.'"

I pray that his mother is okay. Paris spilled all the beans, I love it! I'm just wondering why is the Jackson family allowing anyone affiliated with Dr. Murray or their brother's death to care for their elderly mother. Such a big family, there is no reason why no one knows where she is. Stay tuned for updates.
