Run DMC's daughters are introducing a new line of footwear inspired by their favorite pastries dubbed the Pastry Footwear Cake Collection.

Cake flavours chocolate mousse, strawberry shortcake, red velvet and sprinkles are the inspiration for the four shoe designs of the same names.

The girls, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, are both students and aspiring fashion career women and are currently in the middle of attaining degrees in business and fashion respectively.

They've grown up close to the fashion world, being the nieces of Phat Farm and Baby Phat clothiers Russell Simmons and ex-wife Kimora Lee.

The shoes will be decked out in fun colors inspired by their cake namesakes and come with a matching attached lip gloss.

A behind-the-scenes look at launching the footwear will be aired on MTV during the next season of "Run's House," featuring Run DMC and his family.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has some potent staying power. The rap impresario is apparently also a sexual maestro: he claims to have had sex for 30 straight hours.

Combs, discussing his romantic stay in Paris with his girlfriend Kim Porter, told the London Mirror: “As soon as we landed, we went straight to the Eiffel Tower, drank champagne at the top and just kissed and kissed. Then we went up to my suite and had tantric sex for at least 30 hours, ordering up whipped cream and strawberries while we were at it.”

Combs, who is not given to modesty, added, “As meticulous as I am with my work, I'm more meticulous with lovemaking. I like to do it for a long time.”

Before we really get into it, I wonder if you have anything to say about what went down with Miss Jones last month on the radio, when she hung up on you after accusing you of lying about college.

I'm glad we're gonna address that. First of all, Miss Jones doesn't appeal to me in any type of way. I don't have any respect for her. She's very angry. She's very nasty. She was asking me very personal questions about myself and I wasn't going to answer her honestly, because I felt like she wasn't really interested in my life. She was trying to attack me. So, of course, I just played with her. And her being a radio personality, she knew I wasn't being honest. I didn't care, I knew I had to get through that interview and remain professional. But I will say this: I think she's a fat, bitter bitch.

Very early on, it seemed clear that she was out to give you a hard time.

And I was having a great day! I wasn't going to let anyone ruin my morning. You can only push my buttons if I allow you to, and I didn't allow her to push my buttons. She would have loved to have gotten into it with me. Who wouldn't want to get into it with me? That could have boosted her career that never went anywhere. She was an aspiring singer that never did anything. Miss Jones sucks. She gained about 80 lbs. She looks terrible.

Hollywood star Halle Berry attempted to commit suicide over a failed relationship but backed out at the last minute, the actress says in a candid US magazine interview due to appear this weekend.

The 40-year-old actress, who won an Oscar in 2002 for her performance in the hit "Monster's Ball," told Sunday magazine Parade that she tried to gas herself in her car over her stormy marriage to baseball star David Justice.

"I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming, when I had an image of my mother finding me," she says.

"She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low," Berry said.

"I promised myself I would never be a coward again."

Berry describes her second marriage, to singer
Eric Benet, as "really horrific." "We were in sex rehab after one year. I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone's needs before mine," she says.

For the past year, Berry has been dating model Gabriel Aubry and says she is now ready to have a child.

"Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself," she says.

ON THE LEAKED SEX TAPE WITH FORMER BOYFRIEND STEVIE J.
"I was hurt by it. But what kept me calm was that everybody knew he was my boyfriend. Not that I wanted people to see me having sex, but it wasn't like I was getting gangbanged - that would have been crazy."

ON RECONNECTING WITH LIL' KIM
"I used to roll in the car with my high school friends listening to Biggie and Kim. (But we were) not speaking, for whatever reason. When my publicist told me we would be sitting across from each other, I was like, 'Are you serious?' There wasn't any real beef, but I just didn't want any tension. But we ended up talking, like really talking, for forty-five minutes. We even exchanged numbers. I'd love to do a joint with Kim. I really want to see her come back, you know?"

ON INTERRACIAL LOVE
"I'm going to love who loves me, and if I'm attracted to a person, I'm attracted to them. I've had black men say to me, 'Oh, I heard you were dating a white man.' It's like, 'Have I gone out with (a white man)? Yes. Am I dating someone white? No, but if I was, it would be my choice, so stay out of my business.'"

ON THE DECLINE OF HIP HOP MUSIC
"For me, it all started with (D4L's) 'Laffy Taffy.' When I first heard that song on the radio, I just knew it was a joke, but then I kept hearing it. Every artist has the right to do what they want, but I don't believe in making that kind of music. It's disposable. Hip-hop is in cardiac arrest, but I think it's revivable."

Amy Winehouse has revealed the real reason behind the recent cancellation of two London live shows.

The U.K. soul star, who is famed for her debauched antics, pulled a pair of gigs at London's Shepherds Bush Empire earlier this month.

Last week, she also cancelled two shows in America, following a triumphant appearance at SXSW and the top 10breakthrough of new album Back To Black in the Billboard chart.

Winehouse has now admitted the concerts in the U.K. capital were pulled after she smashed her front tooth in a drunken fall.

"I broke my big tooth. I had a massive gap in the front of my mouth," she revealed, before explaining that dental surgery has fixed the unsightly injury.

The cancelled Shepherds Bush Empire shows will now take place on May 28 and 29.

Britney Spears' weekend trip to church sparked controversy yesterday when a security guard pulled a gun on a photographer. Spears spent her first Sunday morning after her recent rehab stint at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles - a regular haunt of top religious celebrities.

But the Sunday service was anything but peaceful after a security guard threatened to shoot a photographer who was attempting to get pictures of Spears at prayer.

The paparazzo was detained and later released.

"One photographer was on the wrong side of the road and tried to run over an officer who had stopped traffic. He kept coming and one of our guards pulled a gun out. I cannot speak for the security officer but he does not regret it. This is a church, not a concert."

According to Tiny’s mom Dianne Cottle, Tiny had had a difficult pregnancy and on Wednesday (3/21), Tiny knew something was wrong. Her pediatrician confirmed it: the baby girl she and Tip wanted so badly had no heartbeat. Tiny was six months along in her pregnancy.

Tiny was admitted to Northside hospital that Wednesday, and on Thursday, following a medically induced labor, Tiny delivered a stillborn baby girl in her room surrounded by Tip and family and friends. Tip named his baby girl Llayah Amour and dressed her in a tiny white dress. Then Tiny, her daughter Zonnique, and family and friends took turns holding the baby for hours. “The baby was beautiful,” said Dianne. “She looked just like Tip.”

Snoop Dogg and Sean "Diddy" Combs were forced to scrap a tour of Britain after authorities denied Dogg a visa, according to a statement Tuesday.

The duo, currently on a European tour, had been expected to play five dates in Britain.

"With late notice of Snoop being denied a visa, time has ran out and it is too late reconfigure the show," the statement said.

Tour organizers had said the concerts, starting with one at London's Wembley Arena on Wednesday, would go ahead without Dogg.

British Home Office rules state that foreign citizens can be barred from entering the country if there were concerns about their presence.

In April 2006, Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and five other men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl, and spent the night in jail after trouble flared when some in the rapper's party were denied entry to British Airways' first-class lounge at Heathrow Airport.

Seven officers received minor injuries — mainly cuts and bruises — and one suffered a fracture to the hand.

Eminem and ex-wife Kim Mathers agreed Monday not to criticize each other in public.

The decision to make nice was made following a court hearing in which the on-again, off-again couple agreed that insulting each other could prove harmful to their 11-year-old daughter, Hailie.

The hearing was held because the Grammy- and Oscar-winning performer filed a motion earlier this month in Macomb County Circuit Court that sought to prevent Kim Mathers from making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" about him in the media.

Kim Mathers blasted her ex-husband in recent television and radio interviews, including one on a Detroit radio station in which she said he was unfaithful and uncaring — and disparaged his sexual prowess.

She attended Monday's hearing as well as a closed-door meeting beforehand in the chambers of Friend of the Court Referee David Elias. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, was not in court, but spoke via telephone in Elias' chambers.

The two sides agreed to the deal, and it was announced at the court hearing.

Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental drug overdose after she was found unresponsive at a hotel, authorities said Monday.

“We found nothing to indicate any foul play,” said Chief Charlie Tiger of the Seminole police department.

Neither Tiger nor Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper immediately said what drug or drugs were involved in her death. Perper said the detailed autopsy showed no evidence of disease.

Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental overdose of a sleeping medication and at least eight other prescription drugs, and she had recently had a bacterial infection from injecting drugs into her buttocks, authorities said Monday.

Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper said Smith died of “combined drug intoxication” with the sleeping medication chloral hydrate as the major factor.

She had been taking a lengthy list of medications, including methadone for pain and valium, but those drugs were at therapeutic levels, he said. A bacterial infection from injecting medication in her buttocks and the flu contributed to her death, according to the report.

G-Unit's Tony Yayo Arrested for Alleged Assault in NYC!



LOL @ his faces in the car!

Tony Yayo has been arrested, as the 14-year-old son of a music industry rival is charging the rapper assaulted him.

Yayo, born Marvin Bernard, and other members affiliated with G-Unit Records have been detained by New York authorities for their connection to the assault of Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond's 14-year-old son.

The alleged assault happened on Tuesday (Mar. 20), as Rosemond's 14-year-old son left school on the way to an internship with his father's Czar Entertainment, an entertainment-based record label/management firm.

According to sources close to Czar, 50 Cent and Tony Yayo were leaving the offices of Violator Management and saw the boy walking down the street, wearing a Czar Entertainment T-shirt.

According to sources, Yayo backhanded the teen then screamed profane words towards Czar Entertainment.

"It's kind of like a back-to-school present for everybody," Brown told MTV News at Dub magazine's Custom Auto Show & Concert in Los Angeles last weekend. "We coming with more videos, more explosive dance moves and more vocal abilities. So we gonna have fun."

The album's first single is still up in the air, according to Brown, but he's debating between two tracks: "Picture Perfect" and "Throwed." Brown didn't want to give up too many details about the two songs, but he said fans should be able to hear one of them soon, possibly within the next two weeks.

Currently, the Virginia native is gearing up to join Beyoncé as the opening act on the Australian leg of her tour. Initially Brown had hopes of pairing with Justin Timberlake (see "Chris Brown Says 'Gimme That' To Bow Wow Reunion, Timberlake Tour"), but when those plans didn't materialize, he quickly jumped at the chance to team up with B. He hastened to say that he has no intention of upstaging her.

Bernie Mac says he plans to bring down the curtain on his standup comedy act after 30 years.

Mac told David Letterman on CBS' Late Show that he'll retire after he finishes shooting the comedy film The Whole Truth, Nothing but the Truth, So Help Me Mac this fall.

"And I'm going to put it in theaters and it's going to be 30 years for me, and I'm going to call it," the 49-year-old comedian said on Monday night's show.

"I'm going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit," Mac told Letterman. "I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977."

"It's a great way to make a living but it also, it takes a toll, doesn't it? It's tough," Letterman said.

“Every action generates an equal and opposite reaction. My statement about Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone was a reaction to an incident I care not to discuss in any forum, and while I may have felt justified, I do owe an apology to Christina, Joss and their families. The comments I made about Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone were purely an act of retaliation not of malice or cruel intent. As we all have our boiling points, I sincerely apologize as this is not my character nor should I have let anyone’s actions push me to this limit. I have let my family, friends, employees and business associates down with my actions. All content and any malicious statements that were in my control have been removed from outlets that may have posted this. Please accept this as my formal statement and apology to all parties involved.”

Houston admits there is a special lady in his life putting "a smile on his face" and that the song "Kimberly" was inspired by her.

"The song was written pretty much for my girlfriend, but the thing behind 'Kimberly' is that every woman has [a] 'Kimberly' [side]. It's that freaky side, the woman that is so shy and softspoken, I'm pretty sure she has a 'Kimberly' side in the bedroom," Houston explained.

While Houston remained tightlipped about the identity of his current love, he didn't deny a special relationship with Kim Kardashian, spokesmodel for Christopher Brian, the clothing line released by Houston's manager Chris Stokes.

"Kim is my girl. That's my homegirl. We're doing a lot of business together. We are just friends, we are good friends," he said.

"I'm happy that the secret is out because it was getting very difficult to hide it," says Tamia, 31, who is four months along. "I performed yesterday and I caught a glimpse of myself in a reflection and I thought, 'Oh no, I'm going to have to talk about this."

Grant, 34, is "thrilled" about the new family addition and daughter Myla, 5, looks forward being "the coolest big sister ever," Tamia says.

The singer announced her pregnancy on her MySpace page.

Jennifer Hudson has repaid singer/songwriter Ne-Yo for helping pen songs on her debut album, by recording a duet with the R+B hunk for his next release. The hot couple recently teamed up in the studio to work on the Dreamgirls star's debut, and she's so impressed with his efforts so far, Hudson has agreed to record a duet with her new pal.

Ne-Yo tells MTV News, "We did a duet together and it came out very hot. The name of the song is called LEAVIN' TONIGHT and... it's one of those songs where I am clearly being out-sang and I know it. "But, because it is Jennifer Hudson and she has such an amazing voice, it's just an honor to be on the track with her. "The bigness of her voice and the regularity of my voice, the contrast between the two is like night and day and it makes perfect sense."

So this is how the story goes for me, one night my boyfriend calls and says turn it to VH1 Soul and write her name down...So I flip to it and catch the ending of this cool song... So I get into and so I scribble the name Amy Winehouse | Back to Black

Well about a week later he's over and says where's that name of the chick from the video, and I find my scribble scratch and try to make out what we now now know is Amy Winehouse and start looking for her music...

So the first thing I find is "Rehab," and immediately recognize it from this Britney Spears Cover:

"I am not going to go there.

"Look, she knows what went on, I know what went on. And that is where we have to leave it. I am not going to discuss any of the details of that intimate relationship that I had with the public. It's just not that necessary."

Porter blasted Combs' relationship with Lopez, declaring, "He fell for a booty and a smile" and admitted she used to tell the rapper he would return to her when he left "his little Puerto Rican girlfriend".

Porter admitted she was in contact with Combs every day of his relationship with Lopez and forbid him from letting their son Christian associate with the Latino beauty.

Porter said, "Does she look like the type that would want to play house and family with two little black kids? No."

An 8-month pregnant Melanie Brown steps out in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, proudly showing off her baby bump. Despite the ongoing question about the baby's paternity, the ex-Spice Girl recently celebrated the impending birth of her second child with a festive shower.

From New York's Blender Interview:

Are you a genius?
Yes, because I have a third eye and I can see the future.

What's in your future, New York?
My third eye says I am going to meet my soulmate in four years. He is coming from a warm climate. He is taller than me, nice build. He has large feet. And he's going to make me very happy.

Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott welcomed their first child together, a son, on Tuesday, PEOPLE has learned.

Liam Aaron McDermott, who was born in a Los Angeles hospital, weighed 6 lbs., 6 oz, according to the couple's rep.

If you watch VH1, you've noticed the promos for the newest Flavor of Love spin-off, Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School hosted by Mo'Nique!

Thirteen of your favorite breakout stars from "Flavor of Love" seasons one and two are back for some heated competition. Living as a group, learning as a group and out for themselves, these former Flavorettes will be rigorously trained in proper etiquette and manners before competing in challenges to determine their poise and grace under pressure.

As President of CHARM SCHOOL, Mo'Nique will tear down and then rebuild these ladies using her team of experts and her Ten Commandments of Charm School.

Each week the ladies will focus on one commandment during a comprehensive lesson followed by a demanding test. Whether they're trying to impress a famous socialite, running the world's hardest Marine obstacle course, or trying to remain composed in the face of their greatest nemesis the ladies never thought softening up would be so hard. After each test, the girl who shows the least improvement will be expelled. At the end of the ten weeks, the last girl standing (with perfect posture) will be rewarded with $50K to put towards fulfilling her life's dream.

Hair may be pulled. Spit may fly. Fists may land. But one thing is for sure, when these ladies stab each other in the back -- it will be with the proper utensil.

Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland is preparing for the June release of her sophomore album Ms. Kelly.

Best known for her role in the multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning group, Destiny's Child, Rowland is going solo for the second time with her follow up to 2002's Simply Deep. Her current single with Eve, "Like This," was recently released to radio. A ringtone for the song was also made available on March 6.

"I have put my heart and soul into this record," Kelly said, via statement. "I am excited that everyone will hear it. I am completely exposed. It's the real me."

"Like This" is currently being touted on AOL Music's New Songs page and a version of the song is also available on Kelly's MySpace page. Plans have also been made for the release of her second single, "Ghetto," which features Snoop Dogg.

In addition to showcasing her singing talents, in recent years the multi-talented Rowland has acted in television and film roles, appearing in Freddy vs. Jason and The Seat Filler as well as guest appearances on "The Hughleys" and "American Dreams." Kelly is also currently a celebrity spokesperson for Soft Sheen-Carson's "Dark & Lovely" hair care products.

Kelly's second album Ms. Kelly is currently scheduled to drop on June 26 via Music World/Columbia Records.

Besides tangling last week with Simon Cowell of "American Idol," the show that gave the ungrateful diva her big break, the singer tried to back out of performing at Saturday's taping of the Soul Train Awards show in Los Angeles.

"Jennifer called Friday and said she couldn't make it," said our source.

"Soul Train" producer Don Cornelius immediately called Clive Davis, the legendary J Records mogul who created the careers of Whitney Houston, Alicia Keyes and dozens of other artists.

"Clive called Jennifer and read her the riot act. He said, 'Get you're ass out to L.A.' and then hung up on her."

The strong talk from her de facto boss evidently worked because "she showed up."

"...In response to Jennifer's recent comments in which she asked if she should be thanking Burger King, we say thanks, but no thanks are necessary. Burger King Corporation is proud of Jennifer's success and while we never like to lose employees, in this case, our loss is the entertainment industry's gain ... To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life."

"If I'd been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn't be here either, so should I thank them, too?"

Foxy Brown isn't just a bully in beauty salons - she's a menace on the road, too.

The curvy superstar has been busted on 16 traffic violations in New York in less than three years, according to state DMV officials.

Brown's been cited for everything from blowing red lights to weaving across lanes of traffic without signaling, officials said.

Can anybody say "Call a limo, Foxy"? The platinum-selling rapper shows up for court dates wearing hot designer dresses and toting $1,000 handbags. But she somehow can't find a way to pay New York State $4,780 in fines and surcharges, the Department of Motor Vehicles said.

What's more, the DMV says Brown shouldn't be behind the wheel at all. She's also been hit with citations for operating without a license, insurance or an inspection.

Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, has only a learner's permit in New York State.

Her right to get a license here has been revoked because she repeatedly fails to answer traffic tickets, according to state DMV officials.

"She has to answer all these different summonses before she's allowed to drive," DMV spokesman Ken Brown said.

The diva did obtain a New Jersey license in 2003, but it has been suspended since last March because she failed to appear on an earlier summons, New Jersey officials said. The blizzard of tickets from the men in blue hasn't stopped Brown from getting behind the wheel.

Snoop Dogg was held by police in Stockholm last night on suspicion of using illegal drugs, after police stopped him and he was "deemed to be under the influence of narcotics."

The rapper was on his way to a party after his Sunday night concert with Diddy when, as a police spokesman told the AP, the car the rapper was riding in was stopped, and Snoop and "a female companion" were suspected of using drugs and were detained at a Stockholm police station.

"He underwent some tests that will now be sent away for analysis," said the spokesman. "In two to three weeks, we'll know if he was on something." Swedish cops didn't specify what narcotics may have been involved.

Sweden, which has some of Europe's strictest drug laws, has also spelled trouble for fellow musicians Pete Doherty and Axl Rose, who were both fined last year for various run-ins with the law. Snoop, for his part, was arrested three times last fall on drug and weapons infractions, all in the Los Angeles area.
