LeToya Luckett Reveals Gender Of Her Baby Letoya Luckett and her hubby Tommicus Walker are expecting a baby girl! The couple apparently decided to forego a grand gender reveal stunt, and instead, the glowing mama-to-be let the beans spill with a simple series of posts to her Instagram account — each of which either outright called the baby “she,” listed a prayer for her daughter, and one even flat out featured pink balloons and featured the hashtag #IssaGurl. Adorable, right? Aww, LeToya seems to be over the moon about her baby girl on the way. Any guesses for names at this point? Johnny Nunez/WireImage/Paras Griffin/Getty Images

Here’s a look at what happens when rich folks have a “friendly little bet.” Meek Mill spent part of his Tuesday afternoon chilling with 76ers owner Michael Rubin — a close colleague who according to TMZ was a big ally for Meek during his stint in prison and the subsequent back and forth surrounding his release. The two decided to put $50k on the line to see whether or not Meek could sink a half-court shot behind his back on what appears to be one of the practice courts for the 76ers. Needless to say…Meek is $50k richer this evening. Judy Eddy/WENN.com/TMZ

(Photo by Prince Williams/WireImage) Kiyomi Leslie Talks Meeting Bow Wow, How Sex Went Down For The First Time Kiyomi Leslie is still making her “ Growing Up Hip Hop ” promotional rounds, minus one. Recently fans suspected that she and Bow Wow’s relationship might be rocky after he was spotted out and about with another woman. But, that didn’t cause Kiyomi to break character while she visited The Beat ATL this week. Kiyomi spoke fondly of Bow Wow, even detailing how they met and explaining how sex went down for the first time between them! In the clip, Kiymoni says Bow Wow initially DM’ed her, inviting her to a New Years Eve party, but when she got there, he ignored her for “hoes”. So, she left early, but he was persistent and offered to help her music career. I t was a conversation after meeting Bow Wow privately in the studio for the second time that made her want to give up her “celibate” sex. Apparently, Kiyomi kissed him after having a “deep” talk to say goodnight, and the rest (her drawls) was history. “So we was at the studio, we was chilling, drinking a little bit, smoking hookah and vibing. He was just like “you can stay as long as you want to.” And, you know, I gave him a little kiss on the chair. So I guess that was like “oh she f*cking with the kid.” “…and let me tell you, one thing about me, f*ck I look like turning down some head?” Bow Wow went down on her! Interesting, right? “It wasn’t the first night”, Kiymoni clarified it was just the first night they ever did something. Another fun fact: Kiymoi admitted that her extra large breasts are from “Dr. Larson”. She said although she feels her chest is “really, really huge”, they look good when she dresses up. Here’s the full interview: Thoughts?

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images Former American Idol Star Antonella Barba Arrested For Heroin Distribution Former American Idol contestant Antonella Barba has been busted for alleged distribution of heroin, according to the people over at TMZ . The publication is reporting that Barba was arrested earlier this week, on the morning of October 11 while in Norfolk, VA. She is being charged with heroin distribution of more than 100 grams, which is a felony in the state along with carrying a sentence of up to 40 years in prison–some pretty serious business. The time that Barba spent on Idol wasn’t very long, but she still managed to make a big impact on fans. The singing hopeful made it to the cusp of the show’s top 12 round before being eliminated in a season that ultimately ended up being won by none other than Jordin Sparks. Antonella’s short stint on the competition also managed to stir up a bit of controversy after photos of her posing in a wet t-shirt while in Washington D.C.’s National World War II Museum Memorial fountain were surfacing around the internet. Since being eliminated from the competition so many years back, Barba has only appeared on national television a few more times. She competed on Fear Factor in 2012, where the show oddly made absolutely no mention of her being a former American Idol contestant at all. She also appeared in a recent sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that pulled together former Idol contestants for a musical “Where Are They Now?” segment. This also isn’t Barba’s first confrontation with the law–Before her Fear Factor appearance 6 years ago, she was busted for shoplifting in New York City in 2011. As far as American Idol goes, the original run of the program lasted 15 seasons before Fox pulled the plug back in April 2016. The show returned for a 16th season on ABC earlier this year, with its old panel of judges wiped out and replaced with Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie.
