Are Tyler Perry and Janet Jackson dating?

Last year was very tough for Janet Jackson. It was preparing to be a big year as she had signed on to star in Why Did I Get Married, Too? The film served as a sequel to the original film created by Tyler Perry. But, the death of her older brother placed the film on hiatus.

Not only did Janet Jackson lose her brother, but she would soon end her relationship with Jermaine Dupri. With everything going on, she felt that her relationship could not survive. Despite breaking things off with Dupri, they would remain friends. They even worked together on the soundtrack for this film.

While she was going through her tough times, Janet Jackson turned to Tyler Perry for comfort. She began seeing Perry, but not in a romantic way. Recently, Jackson appeared on "The Tyler Perry Show," and she told Perry that she did not know where she would be without him.

Dating back to last summer, Janet Jackson has not had a male relationship in her life. Meanwhile, there have been many questions about Tyler Perry and his sexuality. While he was able to prove that he was not gay, Perry denied being in a public relationship. There have been times when Perry admitted to being in a relationship with someone "special," but he has never announced a lady in his life. Recently, Perry said that he was seeing someone. When he was asked of who he was seeing, Tyler Perry said that he was not going to tell who it was. It is possible that he and Janet Jackson have been dating ever since 2007.

Wendy Raquel Robinson speaks on BET and "The Game"

Ever since May 2009, there has been a push to save the hit sitcom, "The Game." Last year, the sitcom found a new home on BET and when The CW ridded the show from their schedule. From that point on, BET has been trying to land "The Game" for a fourth season. The fans of the show have been left out when trying to figure out the status of the show. Many people turned to the stars of the show, but they knew just as much as the fans.

Wendy Raquel Robinson has been hoping that something would happen that would bring "The Game" back for another season. Now that the show is off of The CW, she has been watching the BET reruns. BET recently began broadcasting the third season of the show. It was during this third season when "The Game" finally got personal. In the first two seasons, "The Game" relied on famous guest appearances. But, they toned down on that later on.

Earlier this month, news broke about BET finally reaching a deal to bring the hit sitcom back for another season. Just like the rest of the public, Wendy Raquel Robinson had to go to the internet to discover the status of the show that gave her career a second life. When it was finally revealed that BET and "The Game" had reached a deal, Wendy Raquel Robinson was truly happy. She said that she applauded the move to Atlanta, for means to produce at the same top-quality, but to save money.

Despite Coby Bell (Jason Pitts) landing a role on "Burn Notice," Wendy Raquel Robinson remains hopeful about him being able to work both programs at the same time. While he has moved on, Coby Bell said that he will make appearances, when needed. Having him down as a recurring character would still keep him in the plot, but he would not have nearly as big of a role. Because he was one of the core cast members, Robinson hopes that something can be done for Bell to keep his old job and move on to a new one.

Recently, the women of R&B have been causing quite a bit of controversy. Just as the talk of Beyonce's "Video Phone" video died down, Erykah Badu decided to go nude in her latest release.

Irv Gotti hopes to Rebuild struggling Record Label

For five years, Irv Gotti was the head of the most successful record label in the game. With a distribution deal with Def Jam, Murder Inc. Records dominated the game. They built around the big man with a small frame in Ja Rule. Eventually, he would be paired with Ashanti and together they made beautiful music.

But, when a federal investigation in his company arose, Gotti lost everything. The label was already in the middle of a high-profile feud. While some fans had turned their backs, but the ones that did stay left after the trial. Despite winning the case, Murder Inc. was dropped from Def Jam.

It would take two years for Irv Gotti to land an exclusive distribution deal with Universal Motown. But, his time with the new label did not bring any hits. Last summer, the deal lapsed and Irv Gotti found himself without a deal for his label. For years, he has discussed reviving the label.

Gotti hopes that he can finally get something going with Murder Inc. this summer, before the legacy and the label is completely forgotten.

LeBron James prepares for Playoff Run

With the close of the 2009-2010 NBA season, LeBron James has his Cleveland Cavaliers in a great position. The team currently sits on the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Not only that, but they currently hold the best record in the NBA.

LeBron James had his team in the exact position last season, but that did not stop the Orlando Magic from knocking them out of the playoff picture. This season, James is determined to not let any opposition come between himself and the NBA title.

Despite there being no chance of any team catching them in the standings, LeBron James has decided to play out the final games of the season. Usually, late in the season, the stars sit out until it is time for the playoffs. But, in order to keep himself from getting rusty, James has decided to keep himself in the game.

While it is a common fact that LeBron James will be playing in the 2010 playoffs, there is no certainty with the lower-seeded teams. The Bulls, featuring All-Star Derrick Rose, and the Raptors, featuring All-Star, Chris Bosh are battling for the final playoff spot in the East. If one of these two teams ends up making the playoffs, they will draw Cleveland in the first round. More than likely, this means that they will end up losing in the first round to LeBron James and his Cavaliers.

Two weeks ago, rumors began circulating about Angela Simmons dating Robert Kardashian. Because Simmons has dated outside of her race before and Robert comes from a family that includes Lamar Odom and Reggie Bush, the news came as no surprise. The two have made quite a few appearances together, but they have denied dating each other.

Upon his official return, Jay-Z declared the death of auto-tune. Before the release of his single, the game was dominated by the machine. While he declared the machine dead, he said that this did no pertain to the likes of T-Pain. They would even take a stage together.

Despite everything appearing to be great between the two artists, T-Pain would diss Jay-Z at a concert event in Las Vegas. Just when it appeared that he had no issues, he went on a "f*ck Jay-Z rant."

Rev Run tells Angela to Put School on Hold

Ever since they first rose to fame, the Simmons family has been all about the money. Rev Run began his rap career in the late 1980s, simply going by Run. He was one-third of the rap crew, Run DMC. As soon as his group became famous, his little brother became the first hip hop mogul. Russell Simmons would work closely with Run DMC and they helped to launch Def Jam.

For the next ten years, Simmons would be the complete owner of the label. Meanwhile, he would offer his older brother some shares in the company. By 1995, the price was good enough for both Russell and Run to sell their shares in Def Jam to Universal. Following the sell of the label, the brothers ventured into clothing with Phat Farm. The line would go on to become one of the top clothing lines out there.

With the popularity of his MTV reality series, "Run's House," Rev Run has eclipsed his brother in terms of popularity. Most of the popularity that Run has comes from his children. Each of his children has some sort of business venture that they are trying to push at all times. The most-successful of these ventures come from his daughters, Vanessa and Angela. They partnered to create the Pastry shoe line and Angela has been trying to create her own magazine for some time.

Angela, his second-born child, has been in college since 2005. For those who watch "Run's House," the first episode was dedicated to Angela and her party. She hosted the party because she had just graduated from high school. In her time out of school, Simmons has taken on the family name and in a major way. Because of all of her business ventures, Rev Run told XXL that he advised her to push her businesses. Her hectic schedule makes it a choice of either school or business. Rev Run has admitted that he told his daughter to wait on graduating from college to continue developing her businesses.

After Ja Rule and Ashanti formed a duo, Lil' Mo kept things moving and she and Fabolous became another force in the game. But, she and Fab lacked the chemistry that she had with Ja Rule.

Lil' Mo will become a radio talk show host at WPGC 95.5 FM in Washington, D.C. She will be taking over the time slot held by former BET personality, Big Tigger.

However, last fall, she also said that she has no problems dating outside of her race. JR, along with many other outlets, reported that she was dating Robert Kardashian.

With everything going on with the Simmons family, Angela has decided to step out and be the spokesperson. First, she took aim at everyone linking her with Robert Kardashian. She did not deny enjoying his company, but she did deny ever dating him. But, this does not mean that she is not open to dating outside of her race. She also took on the rumors of her getting back with Bow Wow.

Recently, it was revealed that her younger brother, Diggy, is a talented rapper. Ever since 2007, her other younger brother, Jo Jo, has been rapping.

Monica releases "Still Standing," talks Rocko

Initially set for release in 2008, Monica has released her long-awaited album, Still Standing. The album comes four years after the release of her album, The Makings of Me. Following the low sales of her last release, Monica took some time off to make sure that this album sold better than her last.

Monica has promoted her latest album in a unique fashion. She landed a deal with BET for a reality show. In an effort to promote her album, the show was titled "Monica: Still Standing." Much like the Keyshia Cole reality show, it featured Monica recording new music for the album. Now that it is out, the show is still a promotional too for her.

While it is great for Monica to finally have her album released to the public, she had to let some things go. Her boyfriend of two years, rapper Rocko, cheated on her. Because of that, Monica decided that it would be best for her to leave him. Some people work through infidelity, but Monica decided not to.

Initially, she said that she would not constantly speak about the breakup. But, in a recent interview with VIBE.com, she spoke on why she did things the way that she did. Many people questioned why Monica would announce the end of her relationship on Twitter. Her reason for going to Twitter to tell the people was because of the fact that she could not publicly say everything in detail. It was much easier for Monica to write out exactly what happened with Rocko.

The relationship is over, but Monica has decided to remain friends with Rocko. Prior to their romantic relationship, they had known each other for over ten years. Despite his cheating, Monica said that the good in Rocko outweighed the bad. While he may have been a poor choice in a lover, he has always been a great friend to her. She felt that she could announce to the world that they were over through Twitter in order to avoid answering the questions repeatedly on the radio circuit.

But, before the release of his album with G-Unit, it was revealed that 50 Cent was dating Vivica Fox. Their relationship was very high-profile.

Shaunie O'Neal blames divorce on Miami

Three years ago, it was revealed that Shaquille O'Neal was filing for divorce. The news came as a shock to many because the O'Neals were the "it couple" of the NBA. Every appearance that Shaq made, his wife was right with him. She was sitting front and center at all of the Christmas games and every playoff game.

However, following the 2007 season, things changed. For starters, Shaq did not play in the Christmas game. Then, his team did not make a deep playoff run. Becuase of this, his popularity tanked and some felt that Shaunie O'Neal had left on that account. During the late summer of 2007, it was revealed that she was having an affair.

As the season went on, Shaq would be traded to Phoenix and all talk of his divorce went away. However, last summer, it was revealed that she was filing for divorce. With the divorce almost finalized, it was revealed that Miami did their marriage in. She said that it was the women on the beach that ended them.

The temptation of the Miami women was too much for Shaquille O'Neal and he cheated on his wife. That was the reason that she cheated on him and what led to his filing for divorce.

Gabrielle Union gives up on Motherhood

For the past year, Gabrielle Union has been in a relationship with the NBA superstar, Dwyane Wade. Wade is the father of two and his sons have a great relationship with Union. Despite their strong relationship and the possibility of a big family, Gabrielle has closed the door on having children.

Because she is 37 years old, ten years older than Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union has written motherhood off of her to-do list. She said that because of her age, she has a better chance of adopting pets. Instead, she has decided that she will continue to "play mommy" with the kids that Dwyane Wade fathered with his ex-wife.

More than likely, she is still fertile and Dwyane Wade will probably want more children when everything slows down. But, she wants to keep things simple and let that aspect of her life go.

50 Cent plans to go Techno on "Black Magic"

Ever since he first came into the game, 50 Cent has been credited as the toughest rapper in the game. There have been times when he tried to change things up. Still, for the most part, he has remained as the tough rapper in hip hop. For years, he has bullied several artists, including Jay-Z.

After trying to cater to a more "mainstream" audience, 50 Cent took things back to his roots on Before I Self Destruct. Despite taking things back, his album still flopped. 50 did not blame this on the music. Instead, he blamed this on his label, Interscope Records. Following the release of the album, he left the label.

Now, 50 Cent is an independent artist and he plans to change the entire style of his music. For his next album, Black Magic, 50 wants to have a sound similar to that of The Blueprint 3.

Coby Bell ditches "Game" for "Burn Notice"

Hardcore fans of "The Game" feared that while the show was on hiatus that the actors would find other work. Right when it was looking as if the show would not return, Pooch Hall landed a recurring role on "Accidentially on Purpose." So far, he has been the only actor from "The Game" to move on to other acting roles. But, the man better known as Jason Pitts, birth name Coby Bell, has found a new role on the USA drama, "Burn Notice."

Before he went on to play for "The Game," Bell had made a name for himself on the NBC drama, "Third Watch." Following the cancellation of "Third Watch," he began guest starring on many sitcoms that aired on UPN. His next big break would come when he was cast to play the role of Jason Pitts on "The Game."

Lloyd is in No Rush with New Album

Finally off of Murder Inc. Records, Lloyd is taking the time to relish the moment. In his last days with the label, he was forced to carry the entire label on his back. Despite being home to such stars as Ja Rule and Ashanti, Irv Gotti would only release albums from Lloyd. Usually, R&B artists release albums every three years, but Gotti had Lloyd releasing an album every year.

This, coupled with the fact that he was not given much creative freedom led to Lloyd declaring his independence. When he first left the label, Irv Gotti did all that he could to keep him in his contract. However, the singer was still able to get out of his deal with Murder Inc. For the next few months, Lloyd remained a free agent. Because of his relationship with Lil Wayne, it was assumed that he would replace Omarion and sign with Young Money.

Eventually, Lloyd landed with Interscope Records, but he did admit that he came close to signing to Young Money. What stopped him was fear that he would be in a similar situation to the one that he had just escaped. Now that he has a new label, Lloyd is not feeling any rush to create a new album. He is simply going to take his time when it comes to seriously recording. Lloyd will soon release a single and if it catches on, it will become a single off of his album. He has no release date set, but Lloyd wants to release his Interscope debut before the end of this year.

BET lands a Deal to revive "The Game"

Around this time last year, BET began recording record ratings. The month prior, the network had acquired the syndication rights to the first and second season of "The Game." At the time, the show was airing its third season on The CW. Despite the popularity of the series, it was cancelled at the end of the season.

Then, a major breakthrough came when Drew Sidora, a recurring character on the show, announced that it had been picked up by BET.

The news was confirmed by the likes of S2S and other credible media outlets, then the entire cast reunited to begin filming in Atlanta.
