It was reported that  TAMAR BRAXTON’s husband, VINCENT HERBERT  began complaining of having difficulty breathing, and eventually collapsed.

Now S2S reports that he never collapsed but doctors are treating him for blood clot in his lungs, and has since been put on blood thinners.

Vince wil likely be in the hospital for another week or so, but S2S sources are confirming he is “doing much better” than he was. His wife TAMAR BRAXTON remains by his side during his hospitalization.

Despite the split between him and his sister-in-law, TONI BRAXTON, reps maintain that all is well between the two, and they still are “very close.”

HERBERT has previously worked with artists  LADY GAGA and DESTINY’S CHILD.

Roll up, and roll out.

Allegedly that’s exactly what pop singer RIHANNA did while visiting Amsterdam, for what appears to be her European lewdness tour.

On Tuesday the singer was photographed stepping out of Bulldog Cafe – one of the first places to start selling weed in Holland after it was decriminalised in 70s, wearing a furry trapper hat and sunglasses to cover those low eyes.

RIHANNA gets high? No wayyyy  #Sarcasm

BEYONCE and JAY-Z know how to do it big!

US Weekly is reporting that soon to be Mama and Papa CARTER are building 2,200 square foot home nursery to welcome their baby in February.

This would mean the couple is expanding their NYC loft in Tribeca to go from large to humongous for their first child.

So we are clear: The average square footage of a  3-bedroom condo in NYC is 2,000 sq ft, and if true allegedly this nursery would be bigger than that. #Cotdamn

Back in the day the Grammy Award winner, CHAKA KHAN was a bad…shut your mouth.

Before men were drooling over BEYONCE‘s hips, AMERIE‘s legs, or KIM KARDASHIAN‘s ass, CHAKA was the Juicy girl that stopped all the traffic.

After looking through old photos of the singer, we couldn’t help but notice just how similar a young CHAKA KHAN looks like the popular femcee NICKI MINAJ.

Nose, smile, and eyeshadow these two could pass for mother and daughter right?

Q:  I’ve been wearing a full head weave, but my natural hair that’s left out on top to cover the tracks doesn’t blend well now that my hair is brittle and breaking due to constant curling and pressing. My homegirl mentioned trying a hair closure, so I checked out a few videos about lace closures on YouTube but I still don’t totally understand how it works. Will it look wiggy? Can you break this down?

A: Closures refer to the oblong or circle shaped lace that has hair attached, so it can be used to place on the top or side of your hair in order to make your weave look more natural when rocking a full head of weave.

In recent photos of SERENA WILLAMS, the tennis star proved closures like all hair techniques can look bad if you don’t have the proper education, application, and maintence.  She’s has the Internets thinking she’s going bald, when really her closure has been exposed!

Let’s be real all the many different types of African American hair textures do not always blend well with Indian, Brazilian or whatever hair type you choose for your weave. So if your having trouble with blending, bald spots, thinning edges and breakage, closures are the best alternative.

First thing to remember is when choosing a closure to know that all closures are NOT made equal. Lace or silk closures are the best thing in creating a realistic looking scalp, and the illusion of the hair growing right out of your head!  We recommend lace based closures because they lay flatter and are more breathable. Next, you should be sure after picking the right material for your closure, that it is able to be tinted to match your scalp. Tinting your closure ensures that once applied to your head, you can properly part, pull back, twist,and style the hair any direction you desire.

Once you have picked out the best closure, the “thin skin” around the perimeter attaches to a cornrow base to close and secure your sewn in weave. Frontal closures are either sewn or glued in to the crown of the weave, and attached along the front of the hair line.  Rather than recommending products to apply a closure yourself, we suggest for the best possible results, make sure you have a skilled professional that is familiar with this technique.

The average price of a closure usually range from $125-350 and once attached last for about 8-12 weeks. Besides protecting your hair that is left out from styling damage, closures literally “seals the deal” to give you a natural looking hairline, and almost flawless weave without exposing your hair.

BEYONCE isn’t the only one biting other people’s work in the name of “inspiration.”

Pop singer RIHANNA recently settled with photographer David LaChapelle after he sued the star, claiming that many of the raunchy scenes in her “S&M” video were straight jacked from older copies of his provocative photos.

LaChapelle alleged that in the video she copied his poses, lighting, wardrobe and props. He launched a lawsuit against Rihanna and her label, Def Jam, and asked for $1 million in damages.

Earlier this summer LaChapelle stated, “I like RiRi, this is not personal, it’s strictly business.”

We know that’s right, he took that $1 mill straight to the bank!

Celebrities and their secret love children..first rapper JAY-Z  and his Trini triangle, and now IDRIS ELBA.

Back in 2010 ELBA told Upscale magazine,”“I have kids. I love my children and I love my kids,” implying that he had more than a daughter.

So when ELBA’s ex-girlfriend DESIREE NEWBERY, issued a statement later that same year, addressing him as the father saying ELBA is “positive influence in their child’s life and that he is providing all the love, care, and support that are required at this time,”- we believed her.

So now for the cover star of the latest issue of Essence magazine, to shut down those claims of having more than one child, is total shade.com.

When he was asked how his eldest daughter enjoys being an older sister, ELBA coldly responded “I only have one daughter.”

Sound likes MAURY POVICH opened up that big manila envelope and read the results ELBA didn’t want to hear…

So although our girl NENE LEAKES didn’t get her own reality show like castmates KANDI BURRESS and KIM ZOLCIACK, the most popular Real Housewife of Atlanta is still making moves.

The next time you and your girls are in the Sacramento International airport, stop by Famous Famiglia, a  new franchise restaurant owned by Real Housewives of Atlanta star NENE LEAKES.

The restaurant opens today and will be serving pasta and pizza on the menu – nothing to fabulous or to ‘hood but we highly doubt Ms. NENE will actually eat there.

A a part of the Famous Famiglia Pizzeria chain, this is an interesting venture the ex-Celebrity Apprentice contestant can add to her resume (right in before stripper).

Our question is what does a Black woman from the South really know about Italian food, except how to eat it? #shade
