Chris Brown Revealed as Father of 9-Month-Old Girl With Model

According to TMZ, Chris Brown is the proud father of a 9-month-old baby girl.

Per TMZ reports, the baby’s mother is a 31-year-old former model named Nia — who we’re told has known Chris for several years. Sources connected to both Nia and Chris tells TMZ they are on very good terms — however they’re not together romantically. TMZ says 25-year-old Chris is happy about being a father.

It does not appear there is a formal child support order in place — and we do not know the nature of any informal terms of support.

One thing’s for sure … baby girl looks a lot like Chris, see the picture below provided by TMZ.

Fans were shocked after news broke of Chris Brown fathering a 9-month-old girl with a model friend named Nia, and fans have unearthed a tweet of Karrueche asking about the woman before news broke.

At first, people suspected that the image of the now-deleted “Y’all know a Nia?” tweet was a fake, but one of Karrueche’s followers submitted a reply that she sent three days ago, which seems to prove the legitimacy of the message. Chris’ longtime girlfriend has yet to speak out on the news of her boyfriend’s alleged new baby.

Gabourey Sidibe Responds! Taraji P. Henson, ‘Empire’ Creator Lays To Rest Mo’Nique’s Claim Cookie Role Was Hers

Well, well, well.

It looks as if Gaborey Sidibe has weighed in on the never ending drama of Monique and her claims that she was offered the role of Cookie Lyons in ‘Empire’. Sidibe who stars in the hit show also played Precious in the movie Monique won an Oscar for.

Gabourey took to Twitter to give her opinion on the situation.

Last week, Oscar winner Mo’Nique’ claimed that Precious director Lee Daniels initially offered her the role of Cookie Lyon on Empire, but his plans were thwarted by Fox execs who said she was too “difficult” to work with.

That Mo’Nique is difficult and “borderline disrespectful” was co-signed openly on social media by several media and entertainment industry execs who have worked with her, yet Mo’Nique has generated a lot of screen time saying that the industry and Daniels “blacklisted” her because she “knew her worth.”

Henson, who is racking up record ratings as the breakout star of Empire in the role of Cookie Lyon, hasn’t said anything publicly about Mo’Nique’s claims. However, she did retweet Empire co-creator Danny Strong on her own Twitter timeline. Strong says Henson was always going to play Cookie, and in fact, in several interviews, Henson has said she initially wasn’t sure she wanted to play the role.

Here’s Strong’s tweet, retweeted by Henson.

@Dannystrong Tweet – “@TheGrouchyPuppy Monique is so talented she’d be great in almost anything. But Cookie was always @TherealTaraji”

And if that wasn’t clear enough, Strong confirms Mo’Nique was NEVER offered a role on Empire or in The Butler like she claimed.

@Dannystrong – Mo’Nique was never offered roles in Empire or The Butler. #SettingRecordStraight @leedanielsent

Tami Roman & Shaunie O’Neal To Join ‘BBWLA’?

“Basketball Wives: LA” may be getting two not-so-new cast members whenever it returns to VH1.

It’s been a while since “Basketball Wives: LA” aired. So long, in fact, that many wondered if it had quietly been canceled like the Miami edition of “Basketball Wives.”

Well, not only is “BBWLA” still a thing that’s in production, producers hoping to merge the casts to fill up a few vacancies on their show. Neither Draya Michele nor Sundy Carter will be back for the next round, so VH1 needed to bolster the team a bit.

According to Reality Tea, both Tami Roman and franchise creator Shaunie O’Neal have been tapped to join the cast!

They won’t be central members of the cast, but they will appear in a supporting roles as friends. Tami has already been spotted filming with series vets Malaysia Pargo and Jackie Christie. She’s also appeared alongside cast newbies Angel Brinks, Patrice Curry and Meghan James.

Shaunie hasn’t been seen filming yet, but we don’t expect that she’ll be as visible as Tami since she’s also a producer for the show.
