GOSSIP: Kanye West Using Kim Kardashian As His Beard? [EXCLUSIVE DETAILS]

Kanye West is reportedly embarking on an international tour soon after his pregnant girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, gives birth, and the reality star is said to be furious that West is planning to hit the road shortly after their baby's born.

West’s new album is rumored to drop on June 18, and according to a RadarOnline, the rapper will be launching a worldwide tour later this fall or early next year.

A source told the gossip site, “Kim is giving birth in July, and the baby will only be a few months old when Kanye goes out on the road.”

“Needless to say,” the source added, “Kim is very unhappy that Kanye won’t be around as much because of his work. Even if she flew on a private jet with the baby to see Kanye, it would be impossible for mother and baby to be on the road with him.”

When fashion bloggers slammed the flowery Givenchy dress she wore to Anna Wintour's exclusive Met Gala in NYC her humiliation ran much deeper than just a gown. Online commenters are speculating that her boyfriend, Kanye West, is in a romantic relationship with the man who designed her controversial dress, Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci! “Kim’s freaking out,” says a friend. “If it turns out Kanye is involved with Riccardo, she will be utterly embarrassed – more so than she’s ever been in her life.”

In Touch also wrote that: “There are some facts Kim can’t deny. Kanye has spent her entire pregnancy living close to Riccardo in the French capital and Riccardo recently purchased an apartment less than half a mile from Kanye’s in NYC’s Soho neighborhood. Kanye is obsessed with Riccardo. They have a very deep bond. They spend a lot of time together at Kanye’s apartment.”

Whether the gay rumors are true or not, there are a few things you definitely can’t deny.  As of April 5, it was reported that Kanye West had spent a total of 18 days with Kardashian during her pregnancy.  He also does look pretty miserable, when the two managed to be photographed together.

This also isn’t the first time that Kanye West has confronted gay rumors.  In 2012, sources had speculated about Frank Ocean and Kanye West’s romantic involvement, after Ocean revealed that he had a gay relationship at age 19.  West had been an early mentor to Ocean, and the two have remained friends ever since.

Also, in January of 2013, the well-known and highly respected fashion blogger Bryan Boy, also dropped some telling tweets, alluding to a well-known relationship between Kanye West Riccardo Tisci and further fueling the Kanye West gay rumor.

NEW MUSIC: Syleena Johnson & Musiq Soulchild - 'Feel The Fire'

Syleena Johnson indulges in reggae alongside Musiq Soulchild for "Feel the Fire," the official single  [Yes, you read right...the two have finally teamed up] for their upcoming album, "9INE."

According to Syleena, "9INE" is heavily influenced by numerology. The pair teamed up with McGregor to record nine tracks for the album in nine days. The two are also born in September, the ninth month of year, which she said added to the divinity of the project.

"The music was so good, and [Musiq and I] both love Kemar's production so we're just like, 'Why don't we just do [an album] together?'" the soulful songstress tells Billboard.

Allowing their voices to intertwine effortlessly over the steady pulse of McGregor's acoustic production, "Feel the Fire," arrives just in time to compliment the dawn of summer. Fans will have an opportunity to gain insight on the recording of the single as well as another titled "The Promise," during episodes seven and eight of TV One's "R&B Divas."

"We're having fun and putting something together for the fans to love," she said. "[The album] is about love, happiness and peace."

While the two plan to shoot the official video for "Feel the Fire" early next month, "9INE" isn't scheduled to drop until July 9th. However, Syleena said the album may be pushed back to sometime in August to accommodate plans for a multi-city tour.

When asked if she's concerned about possibility of criticism from the reggae community, Syleena simply said, "no." Her desire is for listeners to lay back and enjoy their salute to what she calls a "timeless genre of music."

"I hope people don't calculate it so much," she said. "We're not changing our names. We're [still] Syleena Johnson and Musiq Soulchild. We're both working on our solo projects which will be R&B. We're going to be our same selves —[This album] is going to make people feel good. That's what we need in the world, feel good music."

NEW MUSIC: Kelly Rowland - 'Dirty Laundry'

It’s finally here! Kelly Rowland has unveiled the long-awaited “Dirty Laundry,” off her forthcoming album Talk a Good Game. And, wow! It is exactly the heavy, soul-baring stunner she said it would be. 

Produced by The-Dream, the song finds Rowland opening up more than ever before, though it’s not just about past romantic relationships, as most people were expecting. 

No, there’s also a significant dose of Beyonce here, with Kelly revealing the complex dynamic between the two (“Bittersweet / She was up, I was down…Post-Survivor, she on fire…Kinda lucky I was in her shadow”).

Over a spare, piano-based beat, Rowland also recounts an abusive relationship 

(“Meanwhile this nigga puttin’ his hands on me…I was battered / He hit the window like it was me, until it shattered”). Eventually, as dramatic strings are added to the mix, Rowland admits this man turned her against her Bey, whom she misses. Whew! There’s a lot to unpack here, so give it a listen below.

After the song was released, Billboard released an exclusive interview they did with the singer. 

Speaking on the track, Kelly says: "It was very emotional. It took me days to record. I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. 

 Dream said, 'I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all.'" The-Dream wrote the song, but it was Kelly's stories he was telling; he tells Billboard: 

 "What unfolds on TV or on the Internet, it’s never really that. You think it is but it’s just not. When you have a stage like Kelly has, you should talk about that part of your life. I think Kelly’s way deeper than that." 

 "Dirty Laundry" is the latest single from Kelly's upcoming Talk a Good Game album, which drops on June 18th.

Tamar Braxton Announces BET Awards 13' Nominees; Battling Vitiligo

Tamar Braxton joined the likes of Chris Tucker, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Charlie Wilson and Stephen Hill at the 2013 BET Awards Press Conference at The ICON Ultra Lounge in Los Angeles. The songstress snagged two nominations while announcing her peers.

EBONY Magazine recently caught up with the mother-to-be where she shed light on abusive past relationships, her longtime battle with vitiligo, and more. 

On Being Abused:

“…it happened. I’m not all the way comfortable with sharing a lot of what happened to me (yet), but what I said was true. When I’m ready to talk about my abusive past I will, I’m sorry that I’m not. But if it wasn’t for (God), I wouldn’t be here.”

“My husband (Vincent Herbert) definitely doesn’t abuse me.”

On her struggle with Vitiligo:

Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject. And that’s why I’ve never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I’ve always had it, since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, “You bleach your skin!” But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!

It’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem.

On Plastic Surgery:

“I don’t have plastic surgery. I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose, I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose. And when I shared that with the world, now I have Botox, and different kind of fillers.  Everything is real on me.”

On future plastic surgery plans:

“After I have my baby, I might can’t say that everything is real on me. I might get my breasts done. Who knows if my breasts gonna go down to my ankles–I can’t do that!”

ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAYY!! Jaden Smith Wants Legal Emancipation From Will and Jada

Jaden Smith has a pretty cool set of parents, but he wishes they'd cut him loose a little early. The 14-year-old performer has reportedly asked his father for legal emancipation for his 15th birthday — but only because he wants his own place.

In a discussion of why he and his wife don't punish their children, Will told The Sun, "[Jaden] says, ‘Dad, I want to be emancipated.’ I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place, like ooh ... That’s the backlash. On the other side, if kids just want to have command of their lives, I understand.”

It's not clear whether Will and Jada will eventually cave to Jaden's demands. But if they do give him what he wants, he certainly won't be the first young star to gain legal emancipation before the age of 18. He'll be joining the likes of Drew Barrymore & Macaulay Culkin.

RUMOR MILL: Beyoncé Pregnancy Rumors Escalate After Canceled Concert, $1,000 Chicken Order

A day after the Internet went haywire regarding reports that Queen Bey, default world leader, is pregnant with her second child, the singer has canceled a Mrs. Carter Show World Tour date in Belgium. Suffering from “dehydration and exhaustion,” Beyoncé has been ordered by her doctor to reschedule a Tuesday-night concert at Sportpaleis in Antwerp. She is supposed to perform at the same venue on Wednesday night but is awaiting the go-ahead from her doctor before she proceeds.

To report the cancelation, Beyoncé’s publicist sent an e-mail to the journalistic equivalent of the principal’s office—the Associated Press—to explain that Beyoncé would be unable to perform on Tuesday night for medical reasons. The Internet responds to this news by collectively raising its eyebrows.

Several media outlets have already capitalized on the pregnancy-rumors with claims that Beyoncé spent more than $1,000 on chicken “wing roulettes” at a restaurant in Dublin after performing there earlier this month.

MAG SCANS: Nicki Minaj Looks....On The Cover Of TEEN VOGUE

Nicki Minaj looks young and fabulous, screw faced on the cover of June/July issue of Teen Vogue magazine. Her upcoming big performance will at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19th. Check out a few excerpts of her interview from the issue below!

On the music biz: “People treat this business like it’s high school. It can absolutely feel like one big popularity contest, and you know what? I can’t be bothered. I can’t allow myself to play ridiculous games with grown adults in the industry. I can’t be nice to someone just because they’re hot right now. I can’t do it.”

On her rough childhood: “Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I’d have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time: Are people going to like or hate me? … Sometimes there’d be a fight, sometimes not. I let people know I wasn’t going to be pushed around.”

On social media: “I used to read the bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, ‘Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?’ You cannot give negativity power. I tell teens, if you’re having a problem, there’s nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it’s poison.”
