SECRET SIBLINGS: Rihanna’s Old Photos Reveal Secret Family Members
Apr 16th
Some old family photos of pop star Rihanna have been posted and one thing is for sure…she was born a star. She radiates something "special" on each photo even as a kid. But the photos also reveal a "secret" side of the family that she rarely talks about….her father’s OTHER kids. See the photos inside…
Old family photos that recently surfaced reveal that Rihanna has three older siblings through her father (by three different women). Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty admits that he was a womanizer back in his heyday and it resulted in multiple births with multiple women.
Rihanna has an older sister named Kandy, 32, who literally showed up on Ronald’s doorstep one day. Kandy says she showed up to the Fenty home and "I asked, ‘Are you Mr Fenty?’ When he said yes, I said, ‘Hi I’m Kandy and I’m your daughter’." Ronald says after Kandy explained who her mother was, he welcomed her into his home. "I guess you could say I was shocked. But I was a bit on the wild side and something of a ladies’ man back in my early days."
Rihanna’s other secret siblings are Samantha, 30, and brother Jamie, 27. They were both born during different relationships before Ronald married Rihanna’s mother Monica.
Samantha said she lost contact with Ronald when he left her mother and moved to Canada for work. After seven years, Ronald moved back to Barbados and Samantha began to look for him. By the time she found him, Rihanna was three years old. Samantha calls RiRi "mini me" because of their similar looks.
She says Rihanna has done a good job keeping in touch with both her and her older brother Jamie, who is a graphic artist. Samantha says they meet up with the singer whenever she returns home and she and Jamie have also become close to Rihanna’s younger brothers Rorrey and Rajad.
So that means Ronald has six children by four women…SMH.

This photo shows a 15-year-old Rihanna meeting her oldest sister Kandy for the first time.
Rihanna is also an aunt to Kandy’s two daughters Brandy and Crystal. Rorrey and Rajad are also in this pic.
In this more recent pic at an awards show, RiRi poses with Samantha, her dad Ronald and her two little brothers.
And in this blast from the past RiRi is shown with papa Ronald, brother Rajad and her mom Monica.
Well…we ALL have family secrets and secret family members. At least most of us do. Mmhmmm. Good to see they all get along.

Malinda Williams’ Ex, DJ D-Nice, & His New Girlfriend Kelli Coleman Are PREGNANT!
Apr 16th
Well someone moves fast! Derrick "D-Nice" Jones, who divorced actress Malinda Williams in February of 2010, already has a new chick. And the newbie is 7 months pregnant!
It doesn’t hurt that his new chick is young and loaded. She’s 26-year-old Kelli Coleman, the heir to the multi-million dollar marketing company, GlobalHue. We’ve got the juicy deets when you read on….
D-Nice has been landing big DJ deals left and right lately, traveling the world with every major act and celeb in the biz. While he has been in the industry for years, it looks like he can also thank his new girlfriend, Kelli Coleman.
Kelli’s father, Don Coleman, is the owner, founder, and CEO of one of the largest advertising and marketing firms in the country– GlobalHue. He founded it over 20 years ago. And Kelli’s been groomed to take over the family business ever since she graduated from Spelman recently.
Currently Ms. Coleman leads the new business team and serves as president of Cutting Edge Productions, a broadcast production house under the corporate umbrella.
D-Nice, who turns 40 in June, and Kelli have been dating about a year and have tried to keep it private. So when they popped up hand-in-hand at the 2nd Annual Steve Harvey Foundation Gala weeks ago at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC, eyebrows raised. Interestingly, Malinda was there too, but at a different table far from the couple’s.
And when Ms. Kelli posed for pics holding her belly–and made it known she’s 7 months pregnant–more than a few folks were shocked. We hear the two have moved in together in Manhattan.
Kelli’s set to have her baby shower in New York in the coming weeks.

As if Djimon could get any sexier….now he’s racing cars.

And Cee-Lo Green was there to spread his musical message.
Cee-Lo is one of the mentors on NBC’s new music competition show "The Voice."

EVENT FAB: Miami Heat Stars & Girlfriends Do HAUTE LIVING For Adrienne Williams’ Birthday
Apr 16th
While a few pics already hit the net yesterday we’ve got lots more from Adrienne Williams‘ birthday dinner hosted by Haute Living and Dom Perignon. It went down recently in Miami–and her Miami Heat fiance’ Chris Bosh, his teammates, and the girlfriends like Savannah, Gabby Union, and others, came out to celebrate.
Pics when you read on….
At Chris and Adrienne’s Miami home, Deborah Cox, Chris Bosh, Adrienne Williams, Sarah Mirmelli, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Julie Gorelik, Savannah Brinson and Lebron James got together for the haute shindig to celebrate Adrienne’s b-day. Haute Living and Dom Perignon sponsored the intimate dinner to kick off of their Haute 100 celebrations.
The ladies looked fab at the event. Even though I’m not sure about the asian inspired look Savannah was going for.
Gabby and her perfect skin looked cute.
The trio of besties–Dwyane, Chris, and LeBron–all kicked it.
Former Heat star Alonzo Mourning was in the mix.
And he brought his fab wife Tracy along.
Well aren’t they cute.
Adrienne even had an Hermes bag and box birthday cake.
Fab times for the ladies. Since Adrienne already has wedding plans complete, we wonder who will be the second of the trio to tie the knot with their man….
