It looks like 2015 will go down as the year of the baby boom. After much speculation, Justin Timberlake has officially announced that he’s going to be a dad. The singer went on Instagram today (Jan. 31) to celebrate his 34th birthday and to share wifey Jessica Biel’s baby bump.
In the photo, behind a snowcap mountain view, a bearded Timberlake is kissing Biel’s belly and looking up to the heavens. He writes in the caption, “Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes! This year, I’m getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN’T WAIT. #BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow #WeAreTakingBets.”
The ‘SexyBack’ crooner didn’t reveal the baby’s due date, but it’s still great news for the couple who have been married for two years.
Timberlake isn’t the only artist expecting a child this year. Both rappers Macklemore and Fabolous are in the father-to-be club this year with their respective spouses.
In addition, R&B singer Tank became a proud dad on New Year’s Day with his longtime girlfriend, Zena Foster.
Congratulations to Timberlake and Biel on being expectant parents!

Watch Rihanna's Behind-the-Scenes Video for 'FourFiveSeconds'
Last week, Rihanna premiered her new single ‘FourFiveSeconds,’ featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney. And now the ‘Stay’ singer is sharing a behind-the-scenes look of what the visual will look like.
In the sneak-peek clip, RiRi is on the set as she whispers to her fans the concept of the video, which is being helmed by directors Inez & Vinoodh. The Bajan beauty is au naturel with barely no makeup and slicked-back hair.
The ‘Diamond’ singer explains that West came up with the idea of a stripped-down video with “some real street denim, All-American look.” Rihanna then shows the viewers her vintage denim coat and reveals, “This is actually [West’s] jacket, this is some Sean John throwback vintage jacket, that is f—ing major.”
“Denim never goes out of style,” she adds. “It’s classic. It’s iconic, just like the f—ing Beatles.”
True indeed, Ms. Fenty.
West and McCartney doesn’t talk in the BTS video but they are clearly involved in the creative process. Overall, it looks like it’s going to be a bare-bones visual of Yeezy and RiRi performing their emotional lyrics, while Macca just strums on his guitar.
There’s no word on when the video will debut and Rihanna’s eight album, ‘R8,’ has no official release date yet.
However, there are rumors that the powerhouse trio will perform ‘FourFiveSeconds’ together at the 2015 Grammy Awards. We are crossing our fingers and toes for that to happen.

Dr. Dre Denies Requesting 'Peace Summit' with Suge Knight
Contrary to reports, Dr. Dre, apparently, didn’t request to meet Suge Knight to squash their long-standing beef.
Sources have told TMZ that Dre scoffed at reports claiming that he wanted Knight to come to the ‘Straight Outta of Compton’ movie set to make peace. This alleged peace summit, sparked a chain of events in which, Knight fatally ran over Terry Carter who brokered this alleged peace treaty between the two men.
Knight is currently in jail on $2 million bond on the charge of murder. Police believe that he intentionally ran over Carter. However, Knight’s attorney, James Blatt, said that it was an accident and that his client was in fear of his life after an altercation erupted.
Meanwhile, Carter’s family are calling Knight a murderer. The victim’s relative, who didn’t want to be identified, reportedly told TMZ that the incident was no accident.
She told the gossip website that Knight, who was in his pick-up truck, got into a fight with Cle “Bone” Sloan in the parking lot. Apparently, Knight hit Sloan with his truck and while Carter was coming to Sloan’s aid, Knight accelerated his truck in reverse and ran over Carter’s head.
When asked if she believe Knight’s statement that it was an accident, she quickly replied, “Hell no. It was murder.”
Knight has a court hearing scheduled for Tuesday (Feb. 3). In addition, the former Death Row Records CEO has another legal case pending involving his arrest in October 2014, for stealing a photographer’s camera. If convicted in that case, he could face 30 years in prison.

For the 2015 All-Star Game, Ewing Athletics is celebrating by reminding people the first time New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing first step on the hardwood floor as an NBA All-Star.
This Ewing 33 Hi pair sports a theme that is influenced by Ewing’s 1990 All-Star Game appearance in Miami. Ironically enough, that’s when Patrick debuted this particularly shoe as well.

Man Shoots Teen While Acting Out Waka Flocka Flame's Lyrics [VIDEO]
Waka Flocka Flame’s music is known for getting crowds pumped up, but one of his songs was indirectly involved in a fatal shooting. A Florida man reportedly got too turned up while listening to Waka Flocka’s tune ‘Bustin’ at Em’ that he accidently shot and killed a teen.
The Atlanta rapper’s song is a hardcore track with bullet-riddled lyrics like, “Pow, pow, pow, pow / Shoot first, ask questions last” and “Ain’t no talking homie, I’m just bustin’ at em.”
According to WESH.com, 22-year-old Rodney Patrick was acting out the Waka Flocka’s lyrics when he picked up a gun that he thought was unloaded and shot his girlfriend’s 17-year-old brother. The victim, Douglas Winslow, was shot in the head and died instantly.
According to Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Patrick initially called 911 and lied to police and said that Winslow shot himself in the head. But after further investigation from police, it was discovered that Patrick killed the young teen.
“We’ve got a gun being waved around. We’ve got the safety being clicked on and off, a loaded gun,” said prosecutor Gary Beatty. “A reasonable person knows or should know that action can result in somebody’s death.”
Patrick is charged with manslaughter, tampering with evidence and possession of alprazolam, an anti-anxiety prescription drug. He’s currently in jail with no bond. If convicted, he faces 25 years in prison.

50 Cent's Ex-Girlfriend Accuses Him of Physical Abuse, Rapper Issues Apology
Well Damn @50cent @tattedupholly #50cent #tattedupholly #texts #abuse #wow #thebad #theugly
A photo posted by The Chatter Box (@_thechatterbox) on Jan 29, 2015 at 3:16pm PST
Rapper 50 Cent has been hit with a serious allegation by his ex-girlfriend Tatted Up Holly. The bodacious model posted a picture on Instagram accusing the New York rhymer of physical abuse.
The photo was a screen grab of what’s allegedly a text conversation between the her and Fif. The texts shows an irate Holly vowing to expose footage of the abuse while 50 asks her to calm down.
The photo came after a social media jab from 50 Cent. Media Takeout posted an article praising Holly as the “LATINA VERSION OF DEELISHIS” (the ‘Flavor of Love’ contestant). The G-Unit leader slandered her with a screenshot of the article and said, “This h– community p—-. Me, Trey, J.R., j,” implying that she also had relations with notorious R&B Lothario Trey Songz and basketball player J.R. Smith.
50 Cent has since posted an apology on his Instagram account, but he mysteriously deleted it. However, the good folks at Bossip took a snapshot of it. The caption reads:
“Public apology: this women[sic] is a good person she has been a good friend to me for a year. I enjoyed seeing her grow and progress in so many way in a short period of time. I have watched people hate her because of me, and it only made me want to see her accomplish more. She is a very special person. She looks up to me so I want to her this be known, to people who would love to see her down. I’m never gonna let that happen I’m way to[sic] big for that.”
Although no charges have been pressed, these are some serious allegations. It appears that Holly is not buying 50 Cent’s apology. Read her message below:
