Drake Doesn't Take Ludacris 'That Seriously'
 Drake hasn't built his successful, still relatively new career as a battle rapper - so it's not surprising that his first instinct isn't to pounce on every rapper that throws a diss his way. In the February/March issue of Vibe Drake address a few of these beefs. Atlanta rapper Future called out Drake for not appearing in his video for "Tony Montana" despite dropping a verse. He called the diss a "slap in the face." Drake's response,
“I’ve got no issues with [Future]. I’m happy I got on the song.”
Next beef up was Pusha T's track 'Don't F*ck With Me' where he raps “The talk don’t match the leather/The swag don’t match the sweaters.”
Drake's response, “I’ve been really open about my love for the Clipse. I don’t know, maybe that guy is bored.”
Lastly, Drake and Big Sean found themselves on the receiving end of Ludacris' wrath when they accused him of stealing their style of flow. Luda proceeded to release 'Badaboom' to answer back.
Drake's response,
"[Ludacris,] that’s a case of someone trying to use my marketing money to get things going again for themselves. That didn’t affect my day, my month, my year. I didn’t take any of that seriously."

Jennifer Williams Believes Her Own Hype Says Evelyn Lozada
Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada dished to Radar Online on her castmates for season 4 of the popular VH1 reality TV show. On her ex-friend Jennifer Williams, Lozada states,
“In the first episode, they talked about her being ‘bougie.’ When you are that person and you get a little bit of fame, you start believing the hype. She thinks she is better than everyone else.”
Evelyn concedes that if it wasn't for the show she would have no contact with Jenn,
“I would have told Jennifer never to talk to me again, but that doesn’t make sense on the show because there are cameras here and you have to tell the story even if it can be frustrating."
On newbie Kenya,
“Most of the cast members feel she’s a little strange to say the least. She’s not really someone I would hang out with after filming. She’s not my type of person.”
And on Kesha,
“When you come into a fourth season, you smell B.S. from far away. It’s best to be yourself, that’s why I took a liking to Kesha. She is a really sweet girl and always seems like she is the same person on and off of the set,” she said.
Surprisingly Shaunie has her share of drama this season,
“Shaunie actually gets into a conflict with one of the castmates; she's usually quiet and stays out of the mess. She did have an issue with one of the ladies on the show, and I think viewers will be surprised that she voiced that and who that person ended up being.”

The nature of Bosh's relationship with Allison Mathis, the mother of his child, is unclear but it's obvious the judge didn't think it was bad enough that they couldn't reach an agreement without a court date.
According to TMZ the judge told the ex couple, "Life passes you by waiting for lawyers and cases to resolve. Meanwhile, the world continues."
Reportedly Chris battled his ex-girlfriend for time with is daughter. The judge hammered out another visitation schedule that Bosh appears to be OK with. Bosh's lawyer states he "is appreciative of the time the judge took on this case to ensure that he received consistent, meaningful time with his daughter."

Kobe Bryant Breaks Nose Minutes Before Passing Jordan's All Star Record
 Kobe Bryant broke two things at Sunday's NBA All Star Game, his nose and Michael Jordan's All-star highest scorer record - both coming in the third quarter. First, Dwyane Wade fouled Kobe in the third - which many considered excessive given the lightheartedness of the game. Wade defended his foul,
"Yeah, I obviously didn't try to draw no blood, but I took a foul," Wade said afterward. "Kobe fouled me two times in a row, so he's still got one up on me. But I'm glad that everything was cool and we got back to being competitive and having fun."
Michael Jordan garnered 262 points in his 13 year all star career while Bryant broke that record on a dunk with 4:57 left in the third quarter of this 13th All Star game.
Other highlights in the game came from Bryant touting LeBron James to shoot the ball in the last few seconds of the game. James proceeded to pass and lost the opportunity to make the shot to tie the game. Despite having a great night, James is suffering a fresh dose of criticism for not being a clutch player.
Here's how ESPN puts it:
"Yeah, he was telling me to shoot it," LeBron said afterward, still sounding dejected from a late-game breakdown that soured a performance in which he had 36 points, seven assists and six rebounds to nearly lead the East back from a 21-point second-half deficit. "I (saw) my teammate open for a split-second. When I tried to throw it late, that's what usually happens and it results in a turnover. Definitely, I wish I could have that one back."
What were your highlights of the 2012 NBA All Star game?

Whitney Houston's Family 'Disgusted' Over Casket Photo
The National Enquirer posted a photo of Whitney Houston laying a casket on it's front page. Fans shared their outrage and disappointment and as expected the Houston family wasn't very pleased.
"Sources close to the family tell TMZ the family is disgusted the photo was printed and they have no idea how security surrounding the casket was breached. We're told the family could tell from the photo that it was taken from inside the funeral home, but they have no idea who would have snapped the pic. Our sources say Whitney's mother, Cissy, has taken the publication of the photo the hardest."
The funeral home owner Carolyn Whigham has denied any wrongdoing and assures that Cissy Houston does not hold them responsible. The Houston family has opted not to investigate the breach in privacy.
