MAG SCAN: Dwyane Wade on Fatherhood, Co-Parenting, More in JET Magazine

Dwyane Wade is already a champion. So whether or not the All-Star shooting guard leads the Miami Heat to their third NBA title, he’ll celebrate the same way many other sports stars do at the end of a successfulseason. He’s going to Disney World. But not because of team tradition. He was simply outvoted.

“I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like what would be your ideal thing to do in the summer? This year it’s Disney World,” explains Wade, the proud father of two boys— Zaire, 11, and Zion, 5— and legal guardian to his nephew Dahveon Morris, 11. “Even though I make the final decision, I want them to feel involved. Not only in vacations but other things as well.”
8-year-old brother to live with his father, Dwyane Sr.— a move that became pivotal in shaping Wade’s identity and values as a man.

This approach to child-rearing is in stark contrast to the Chicago native’s upbringing. Wade’s parents separated when he was only a few months old and the only thing the little guy had any control over was the television remote. Distracted by episodes of Knight Rider and Tom and Jerry, the youngster was oblivious to his mother’s heroin and alcohol addictions. Luckily his older sister Tragil wasn’t. She decided to take her then

“Dwyane came up not having a father around, so he didn’t think he was missing anything,” says his mother Jolinda Wade, who has been drug-free and sober for the past decade. “But having his father take over the key role in parenting was very impactful. That was the first view he got as a young man to see what to do and what not to do.”

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.

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.

"I don't know if I'm supposed to say, but I will," Lyte teased. "She just got the role of Left Eye in TLC's new movie."

Lil Mama appeared to confirm the news via Twitter, retweeting messages of congratulations from her fans.

While I am not too keen on her acting skills I am sure Lil Mama will bring her 'A' Game. She definitely has the look and flow.  Some people are not too happy about this pairing and have already started a petition to boycott her from playing the role.

BTS: Solange Knowles Covers Fader 'Spring Style' Issue [VIDEO]

“Finding your own space in the music industry proves difficult when your sister inhabits every corner.” Very true, but as the little sister to probably the biggest star in the world, Solange is blazing her own trail. The eclectic musician and fashionista covers The Fader’s “Spring Style” issue, doing double duty with punk band Vampire Weekend. The Fader follows Solange preps her sold out show at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom with the meticulous precision that comes with growing up Knowles. She’s become a voice for the cool kids, the crowd you’re most likely to catch at the Brooklyn Arts Museum rather than courtside at the Barclay’s.

In the interview, she opens up about the evolution of her sound, embracing simplicity, and how her life revolves around her young son: “In all aspects of my career, simplicity is so key. I think it has a lot to do with how much the quality of my life has improved since Julez started school, which pretty much implemented a schedule and a lifestyle that revolves around a nine-to-five hour.”

Her latest EP, True has gotten widespread love from critics and fans alike, and she credits her evolved sound to the experiences that have shaped her twenties:

“[In] four years, there’s been so much artistic growth, so much growth just as a woman in [my] 20s, but especially as an artist. You’re exposed to so much more from age 21 to 26, and you sure as hell care a lot less. It’s been a little weird, for me, getting feedback—the last album was so different than this one. I am like, Yeah, I was 20 when I started writing it. Is that supposed to be shocking? If it sounded similar, that would be really strange.”

Solange fans may be in for yet another treat. She reveals that she’s currently working on an extended version of her track “Looks Good With Trouble” is tentatively set to get a guest verse from Kendrick Lamar.

Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are planning a major stadium tour this summer, sources involved in the negotiations tell Rolling Stone. While talks are still ongoing, the tour as currently planned would include 11 to 13 stadium dates.

Timberlake hinted Saturday on Twitter that something was in the works, writing, "Big news coming after Justin's Grammys performance." According to the New York Post, Timberlake said, somewhat vaguely, on the red carpet before the Grammys, 

 "We're definitely going to go on tour . . . I don't know how much I should say. . . . It's going to be a lot of fun, I know that."

The two stars have appeared on stage together a few times recently for performances of Timberlake's Hov-assisted comeback single "Suit & Tie." Jay joined Timberlake during a show in New Orleans over Super Bowl weekend, the pop-star's first live show in nearly five years; and the duo also joined forces for a rendition of the cut at this weekend's Grammy Awards. 
Timberlake's highly anticipated new album The 20/20 Experience is set for a March 19th release.

 Be sure to check out ROLLIN STONES interview with the pop star, where he talks about his return to music and how he and long-time producer Timbaland put together the new LP: 

"We encapsulated ourselves in the studio and I didn't tell anybody," Timberlake said. "I was just like, 'Let's make some music without all the hoopla of, like expectations. Let's just make something that feels genuine from us.' And I'm glad we were able to do that way because, for me, it's the best stuff I've ever done."

A Few Things You Should Know About Beyoncé: 'Vogue' Interview

In an 8-page spread in the March issue of Vogue, the singer continues the confessional streak she's been on as of late, revealing that she not only gave birth to her now 1-year-old baby girl -- contractions and all -- but that she had a vision of supernatural strength while doing so.

“I felt very maternal around eight months,” she remembers. “And I thought I couldn’t become any more until I saw the baby. . . . But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn’t think about my own pain. . . . We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication.”

In this month's cover interview with VOGUE magazine, Beyoncé divulged more details about giving birth and the increased self-confidence she discovered as a result.

"Giving birth made me realize the power of being a woman," she said. "I have so much more substance in my life ... I actually feel like my child introduced me to myself," she went on to say.

At one year old, Beyoncé says Blue Ivy has grown into her "road dog" and "best friend," a relationship that she undoubtedly looks forward to nurturing while establishing a sense of normalcy in the little girl's life.

“At some point it’s very important to me that my daughter is able to experience life and run through the sprinklers and have slumber parties and trust and live and do all the things that any child should be able to do," Beyoncé told Vogue.

In addition to her upcoming HBO documentary, “Life is But a Dream," the 31-year-old singer is set to reveal even more about her personal life when she sits down for the Sunday, February 16 episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on OWN.
