The R&B producer and his mystery girlfriend, Lalaonne Martinez, tied the knot reportedly at San Francisco City Hall. The-Dream went on Instagram — which is private — and posted a photo of his new bride who revealed a shiny diamond on her ring finger.


According to What’s The CelebriTea, who posted the pic, the crooner wrote: “THE MRS. I LOVE YOU with my Whole Entire Heart and Spirit, God has blessed me in a Time where any man would feel overcome! God has restored my Heart!”


This will be the third marriage for The-Dream. The 36-year-old was married to singer Nivea from 2004 to 2008. Then in 2009, he tied the knot with singer-actress Christina Milian in Las Vegas. They got divorced in February 2010.


If the reports are true, congratulations to The-Dream and his new bride. Hopefully, the third time’s the charm.

Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Hudson, Ed Sheeran + More Rock 2014 Philly 4th of July Jam

Nicki MinajVH1

Chart-topping superstars Nicki Minaj, Aloe Blacc, Jennifer Hudson and Ed Sheeran brung the musical fireworks to the The Roots‘ Philly 4th of July Jam in Philadelphia on Friday (July 4).


Although she wasn’t the headliner, Minaj help celebrate America’s birthday in Philly with her energetic performance.


Despite the unusually cool weather, the Queen Barbz showed plenty of cleavage in a revealing black and gold halter top, black leather jogger pants and matching stilettos.


The Young Money rapstress performed a medley of hits including ‘Super Bass’ and ‘Beez in the Trap.’ Her Barbz sang along to her latest single, ‘Pills N Potions,’ and her sanitized version of ‘Yass Chick.’ Minaj closed out her 20-minute set with ‘Freedom’/'Moment 4 Life.’


“Happy birthday America,” she told the crowd. “Today we’re free from everybody that tried to hold us back last year. ‘Cause if they didn’t succeed last year, they not gonna succeed this year.”


The actual headliner was pop crooner Ed Sheeran. The U.K.-based artist, with his trusty acoustic guitar in tow, performed a selection of noteworthy songs including ‘The A Team’ and his latest tune, ‘Sing.’ He added a little soul to his set with a cover of Anthony Hamilton’s song, ‘Comin From Where I’m From.’

Fellow pop singer Ariana Grande was supposed to performed at the event, but her rep said that she had to cancel due to a family emergency.


Nevertheless, Jennifer Hudson picked up the slack with a great set that included choreography and plenty of crowd participation.

The Grammy Award-winning diva wore a body-hugging light blue leggings with a white tank top and fashionable sneakers. Hudson had the crowd dancing along to ‘Walk it Out’ and even had Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter singing along during her rendition of ‘Spotlight.’


Finally, J.Hud belted her signature high notes on ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,’ which sent the Philly crowd cheering with delight.


In addition to the aforementioned performers, soul man Aloe Blacc also performed as well as the Roots band themselves.


Overall, it was an explosive night of great performances in the City of Brotherly (and Sisterly) Love.

Puma GV Special 'Exotic' – White

KITH

The Puma GV Special doesn’t get nearly as much love as it deserves and that is pretty shameful if you ask us. However, the sneaker won’t be overlooked today as we are showing love to this must-have all-white classic shoe.


Inspired by Argentinean Tennis legend Guillermo Villa, the Puma GV Special ‘Exotic’ sneaker boasts the usual amount of class with its supple white leather and nubuck toebox that nudges it further into iconic territory. The white leather upper is met with a gum outsole and golden accents, which gives these kicks the ultimate photo finish.


Unfortunately, snagging a pair will be a difficult task since they are sold out at KITH and other select retailers. You can try finding these elite sneakers on eBay. Good luck!

Jennifer Hudson Announces New Album Title 'JHUD'

With everyone from social media to the press dubbing her “J-Hud,” it seems that Jennifer Hudson has finally gotten the hint and aptly chose that as the title for her upcoming new album.


Set for release in August, the Grammy Award-winning artist said she wants to show various sides of herself over the last few years.


“It’s different expressions of me as an artist, a girl, a music lover,” she told WPGC.


She’s already shared ‘Walk It Out’ and recently debuted ‘It’s Your World’, which also includes the talents of R. Kelly, at the 2014 BET Awards.


Aside from R. Kelly, ‘Walk It Out’ was produced by Timbaland while ‘I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)’ was crafted by proven hitmaker Pharrell Williams. Tracks like ‘Dangerous’ and ‘He Ain’t Goin Nowhere’ prove that Hudson is more than just a ballad queen but can also sass things up with some fun in the same way the late Whitney Houston did on ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and ‘So Emotional.’


Check out the snippets from the album below.

Rhymefest Talks About Kanye's Job as a Celebrity (@RHYMEFEST @kanyewest)



Rapper and longtime friend and partner of Kanye West, Rhymefest wants everyone to "get it right" and stop thinking that Kanye should be responsible for saving Chicago. Rhymefest believes that people shouldn't expect Kanye or any other celebrity to do this type of work in their hometowns. He went on to say that Kanye is doing his job as a celebrity, which is to "help deliver us the resources to help our efforts on the ground."


Here's some more of what the Chicago rapper had to say about Kanye:


"Let's get it right, Kanye didn't become a rapper to buy all the houses in Englewood. You have to look to someone like Asiaha Butler from R.A.G.E. who works in Englewood every day. We have to put our power behind the people who are right next to us."


Rhymefest also went on to talk about keeping in touch with Kanye, and his thoughts on Kanye's mother, Donda West:


"When we talk about Donda's House, I give Kanye's mother the credit. She was the one at Chicago State, dean of the English department, taking in all these boys into her house and educating us. We didn't have moms. My mom had me at 15. We grew up together. The first responsible woman I ever met was Kanye's mother but who talks about her? We talk about Kanye but we don't talk about the tree. We just talk about the fruit."
