Jay-Z

Jay-Z may be under fire for kicking it in the Kentucky Wildcats' locker room, but that didn't stop him from attending yesterday's New Jersey Nets vs. New York Knicks game. Hov cracked a smile while posted up courtside, rocking his signature Yankees cap to match his black tee and shades. Nearby, Ciara watched the game from the court's perimeter, looking casual in a high-shouldered green army jacket over a white tank top, blue jeans, and stilettos.

As part owner of the Garden State team, Jay-Z is currently being investigated by the NBA after pictures and video surfaced of him with the Wildcats earlier this week. Under league rules, team personnel are prohibited from having contact with players who are not yet draft eligible. If found in violation, he could face hefty fines.

Jim Jones and Ashanti

Jim Jones battles relationship drama on "Changing the Locks," his collaboration with Ashanti off his fifth solo album Capo, dropping April 5. Fresh off of his arrest for driving with a suspended license, the Dipset member spends the time apologizing for disrespecting his girl, while the R&B songstress gets fed up with his reprehensible behavior.

"I used to give you every piece of me/ Until you f**ked around and lost that key/ I used to really love you (Now I think nothing of you)/ You ain't gotta come back no more 'cause I'm gone," warns a scorned Ashanti.

Lock into the new tune below.

MusiqInTheMagiq

Ready to hear some beautiful Musiq? The Philly crooner has revealed the tracklisting for his sixth album MusiqInTheMagiq, dropping May 3. The 12-song offering includes lead single "anything" featuring Swizz Beatz, as well as the aptly-titled "single" and "silver&gold," all spelled out in lowercase.

The neo-souldier explained that the record has a universal appeal. "I like this combination of songs because some of them are pushing me into a slightly different space that I haven't really been in before," he said. "People like to consider it crossover, more pop appeal, however not so much where I'm compromising the integrity of what people know."

Check out the lineup and watch Musiq's latest webisode where he discusses his influences and how his parents reared him on soul music.

1. "anything" (feat. Swizz Beatz)
2. "single"
3. "sayido"
4. "lovecontract"
5. "silver&gold"
6. "waitingstill"
7. "backtowhere"
8. "dowehaveto"
9. "befriends"
10. "yes"
11. "medicine"
12. "likethesun"

Those of us who choose to go sans hair-straightening chemicals (no shade to the relaxed homies) get some very interesting questions and reactions about our hair. The most comical questions usually come from those who are completely unfamiliar with the nuances of black hair outside of Chris Rock's "Good Hair" and that one black girl in their dorm in college.

Check out just a few of the situations every natural haired black girl will encounter at one time or another at MadameNoire.com

We HAVE To Say Something About How Selena Gomez Is THE MOST MATURE 18-YEAR-O...

Every time we read a story about Selena Gomez, we're like, "Awww! We love her so much." And just when we think we can't love her any more, a new story or interview comes out, and we become even more obsessed with her. How is this possible?

The "Who Says" singer sat down with our friends over at PopEater to discuss her new song, running into Reese Witherspoon at the "Vanity Fair" Oscar party, and her upcoming movie Monte Carlo. First of all, Selena Gomez does an amazing Reese Witherspoon impression (seriously, watch it), and second of all, how is this girl only 18 years old?! She's so poised! And confident! And mature! She even looked appropriate dressed in all blue at Perez Hilton's Blue Ball (which I can assure would not have been the case for me or most other people at age 18).  A round of applause for Momma Gomez!

Not only is Selena super put-together in interviews and when she's out on the town, but she's doing the whole "I'm Justin Bieber's girlfriend" thing perfectly. They're both so discrete and professional about their relationship that it makes us feel like the proud older sister she never had. The proud, cool, good-looking, smart older sister she never had.

Rihanna

Many celebrities & pro-athletes – Tiger Woods, Miley Cyrus & Rihanna, to name a few – have been caught up in 'sexting' scandals and had their nude or semi-nude photos & dirty texts leaked to the public.

Although some were just messages, others took it a step further and sent an image to go with the naughty thoughts.

While some were a one time mistake, others are sure to be a reoccurring act in this movie, as we've already seen new sets from Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, and more.

Star Spotting: Adele Rolls Deep In Milan

Not since Madonna's The Immaculate Collection way back in1990 has a woman stayed at the very top of the charts in the UK for nine consecutive weeks in a row. Stateside, we're a little more picky with our musical superstars, usually making them work their way up the charts. But that doesn't mean we don't love Adele, considering her stirring single, "Rolling In The Deep," off her equally successful album, 21, are both perched in the Top 10's on iTunes, alongside Britney Spears, Chris Brown, and The Black Eyed Peas.

The singer/songwriter wore her signature all-black uniform (just listen to the music, you guys!), to perform at Alcatraz Club in Milan, where it looks like she held court over the crowd of adoring fans just waiting to hear the English songbird let loose on stage. (We never thought we'd say this either, but the girl knows how to rock a braided pony tail better than anyone, including Dee Snider.) Seriously. Just look at her. She's a portrait of holy perfection. That settles it. From here on in, she's Saint Adele.

Exclusive Details: Is This Why Kyle From Jagged Edge Made Himself Look Like ...

On Tuesday night, Marsha Ambrosius hosted a party in Atlanta celebrating the awesome specimen of man meatiness that is Q Parker on his birthday.

It was a very well attended event, with some of the biggest names in Atlanta's entertainment community in attendance, as you can see in the photos on page 2. That was a great bonus for the audience members, since Q chose to share the spolight, inviting several guests on stage to serenade the crowd… including his father! With all of Jagged Edge was present, Q also extended the invitation to them – which would have been a good look, since they are promoting an album or mixtape or something at the moment.

For whatever reason, they kept declining. Then someone decided to let Kyle's drunk/high/super lit a** go be the group's spokesperson…

SMDH. Someone pray for Kyle. He's clearly going through some stuff.

Now, if you're wondering what R.L. could have possibly been apologizing about, a source tells us that the tension between R.L./Next and Jagged Edge dates back to the late 90s.

According to our informant it revolves around an incident involving the girlfriend of one of the members of JE, who was also in a group herself; a surveillance camera; and a late night "mic" session with R.L. in the bathroom.

Bet she's glad sex tapes didn't leak so easily back then. Can you guess who the girlfriend was?

Flip for the pictures.
