Ciara Ambushed by Prankster at Paris Fashion Week

Ciara and Vitalii Sediuk

Sediuk strikes again. After attacking Kim Kardashian last week, Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk ambushed Ciara during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.


The “Body Party” singer was outside the Valentino show when Sediuk snuck up from behind and tore off his coat to reveal a thong. He grabbed her and tried to pose for pictures, but her bodyguard quickly pulled him away (see video via TMZ).


Just last week, Sediuk made headlines for grabbing Kim Kardashian after she exited her car at the Balmain show. Luckily her security was able to whisk her away before things got out of hand.


Sediuk has a history of strange pranks. He rushed onto the stage during Adele’s acceptance speech at the 2013 Grammys, kissed Will Smith at the premiere of Men in Black 3 in Moscow, and was arrested after breaking Brad Pitt’s glasses at the premiere of Maleficent.


As a result, Sediuk has been banned from attending any red carpet events in the U.S.


Paris police have no plans to take action against Sediuk following his latest hijinks.

Chris Brown Calls TMZ’s Harvey Levin the ‘Devil’

Chris Brown and Harvey Levin

Chris Brown and TMZ are at odds once again. The R&B superstar is lashing out at the celebrity news website and its founder Harvey Levin.



Earlier today, TMZ published a story saying Brown shoved a woman during a nightclub appearance in Houston over the weekend.


Following the report, Brown posted a photo of Levin on his Instagram account along with some scathing words.


“What the devil looks like in person. Lol. You sad little man,” he told Levin. “You’ve been trying for years to destroy me. It won’t work. Your efforts are flattering. When you look back on your life when it’s that time for you to depart, what can u actually say you’ve accomplished in life? Bringing people down and being the number one source for negativity. Life’s too short homie. Find some sort of happiness. You are a grown ass man. God bless you bruh.”


TMZ was first to report about Chris and Rihanna’s infamous fight during Grammy weekend in 2009 and has covered Chris’ battles extensively throughout the years.

A glowing Alicia Keys stopped by “The View” on Monday to promote her new single “We Are Here” and We Are Here Movement. During her chat with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O’Donnell, Rosie Perez, and Nicolle Wallace, the singer revealed that her second baby is due December 31.


“Being a mother has definitely given me more of a fierceness and understanding,” said Alicia.


Over the weekend, she brought out Israeli and Palestinian musicians to perform “We Are Here” at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park. “My generation, we want peace and we want to be able to move forward and [forgive],” she said.


Her peaceful anthem was inspired by recent events including Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and the Middle East conflict. “It’s a movement of the people so that we can gather our voices in one place and then take all of our voices to our leaders and demand the change that we want to see.”


Alicia recently posed naked with a peace sign on her belly to promote her message, and encourages others to sign up at WeAreHereMovement.com.

Lil’ Kim Sounds Off on Nicki Minaj, K. Michelle on ‘The Breakfast Club’

Lil' Kim

“The Breakfast Club” was all abuzz when Lil’ Kim returned to the show on Monday for the first time since becoming a mom. But motherhood hasn’t made her any less hard core.


During the nearly hour-long interview, the Queen Bee talked about her “fantastic, gorgeous, beautiful” daughter Royal Reign and her relationship with the Notorious B.I.G. When asked about a possible Junior M.A.F.I.A. reunion, she laughed.


Kim recently had a fallout with K. Michelle and denied that the “Love & Hip Hop” star is the godmother of her daughter.


Of course, Charlamagne asked about her rival Nicki Minaj. Kim blames Nicki for reigniting the beef with her verse on Beyoncé’s “Flawless,” on which Nicki raps, “The queen of rap slaying with Queen Bey.”


“She took the first shots. It’s always been like that,” said Kim. “She’s been throwing shots and still throwing shots.”


Kim is working on a collaboration with Iggy Azalea and T.I. and has recorded a verse for Miley Cyrus. “I love her. That’s my baby,” she said of the pop star.


Kim’s manager Big Fendi, who was instrumental in Nicki’s career, also chimed in, calling Nicki a “groupie” and called Nicki’s right-hand man Safaree “the little gay guy.”


“Nicki offered me $15k for starting her career,” said Fendi.


Plus, hear what she had to say about Diddy, her ex-boyfriend Maino, and her new album, which she plans to drop at the end of 2014 or in early 2015.



On being a mom: “I think I’m doing a good job. I’m trying to be the best mom I can be.”


On motherhood: “It definitely has changed me because I don’t give a fuck.”


On whether Biggie wrote her rhymes: “Biggie was always instrumental in everything I did, but I gets busy. Everybody knows that.”


On K. Michelle: “That chick is a bag of pecans, a trail mix. You know when you’re eating a trail mix and all of the nuts that you like you eat and the nuts that you can’t stand [go back] in the bag? She’s the bag of nuts that you put back. She is so nuts you are liable to see her skipping. Who skips? Chick is nuts, yo. Why would I ever make her my child’s godmother? I’ve only met this woman one time in person. We talked on the phone after that ’cause she was a fan of mine. We never had a conversation about her being my child’s godmom. I don’t know you.”


On Nicki Minaj: “She been waiting for so long just to say the word Queen Bee. That’s how obsessed she is.”


On Nicki’s style: “She just wanted to become me and make it seem like I had passed away and I’m done, I’m gone.”


On getting her props: “No one likes to give me my rightfully due props on anything. Everyone just wants to take something from me.”


On Iggy Azalea: “I like Iggy ’cause I think she got the love for it. I think she got the sass, I think she got the little swag that she need.”

Big Sean Talks Ariana Grande Relationship, Chris Brown Collaboration

Big Sean

Since they were spotted holding hands at the VMAs last month, Big Sean has remained coy about rumors that he’s dating Ariana Grande. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper was faced with the question again during his visit to “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.”



Unlike his relationship with ex-fiancée Naya Rivera, Sean has decided to keep things to himself this time around.


“I like to keep my personal life personal,” he said. “But I am going to tell you this: That Ariana is very, very special. She’s very special to me. Everything she has going on is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and I’m just going to leave it at that.”



Sean is putting the finishing touches on his third album and dropped four songs including the Kanye West and DJ Mustard-produced “I Don’t Fuck With You” featuring E-40.


In an interview with 106 KMEL, he revealed that Chris Brown is on his album (“It might be the [single] after ‘IDFWU’”) and that he hopes to squeeze in a collaboration with Pharrell, who recently texted him.


He describes the follow-up to 2013′s Hall of Fame as “darker” and “intense.”


“I’m just in straight beast mode. I’m not angry, but I’m passionate,” said Sean. “I’m just going in to the best of my ability on every single beat—not lagging, not cutting anything short, giving it 110 percent, going for blood.”



He confirmed that he is still signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam, and that Roc Nation is handling his management. “I wanted to try something new on the business side of things,” he said.


In addition to Kendrick Lamar, you may also hear Big Sean on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V. “Check out Tha Carter V, you might hear your boy on there,” he said.

After releasing their debut album Pulses in February, Karmin has parted ways with Epic Records. Their “No Flex Zone (Remix)” is now available on iTunes via P.I.C. Records.


Enter their “No Flex Zone” below.

Ester Dean was back in the lab with two megastars. The singer-songwriter behind hits for Beyoncé and Katy Perry shared photos from her recent studio sessions with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.


Dean, who wrote several hits for RiRi including “Rude Boy” and “What’s My Name,” reunited with the pop superstar and shared a black-and-white photo of the two of them on Instagram.


Rihanna has been quietly working on a new album with hitmakers including Elijah Blake, Yung Berg, and DJ Mustard, who submitted a ballad. “It’s not like anything you’ve ever heard from me before. Some new shit. New sound,” Mustard told Rap-Up TV.


After collaborating on “Pills N Potions,” Nicki Minaj also reconnected with Dean to work on The PinkPrint, due November 24. “That smile means ‘today was a good day’,” said Ester, who posed alongside Nicki.


Ester recently wrapped filming Pitch Perfect 2 and has been busy heading up her own label Eye Know a Secret Records alongside Interscope. One of the first releases is her Juicy J-assisted single “Twerkin 4 Berkin.”
