More on that idiotically named Stefani/Rossdale spawn, Zuma. According to People, the name was likely inspired by "Malibu's famous Zuma Beach, a favorite destination for parents Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and big brother Kingston. The beach, famous for its surfable waves, was the inspiration for Neil Young's album Zuma, making the locale a bona-fide musical landmark." • Rapper Da Brat was sentenced to three years in jail today for hitting a woman with a bottle of rum in Atlanta last fall. She's also been slapped with seven years probation and 200 hours of community service. Yikes. • Kate Moss on breast implants: "if I got saggy, like the sacks some women have after they have children, I'd have them done. I'm not against them." [People, Dlisted, Us]

Wendy Williams Implies That Missy, Latifah, And Mariah Carey Are Lezebels

Tracie — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Have you been watching The Wendy Williams Show? If you're not (and you're home at 10 AM every weekday), then you should be. It's the talk radio star's live, morning talk show where she pretty much does the same thing she does on the radio — i.e., gossiping and butting into the business of celebs — but sporting nicer clothes and hair. Anyway, today while discussing gossip items about Missy Elliott (being afraid of natural childbirth) and Da Brat (she might have to serve time for assault), she basically outed them as lesbians, winked about Queen Latifah being the same, and then implied that Da Brat was more than just friends with Mariah, pre-Nick Cannon. Clip above.

Mariah Carey "Bye Bye" Video May Include Footage From Her Wedding To Nick Cannon

The video for Mariah Carey's new single "Bye Bye" is out now, and her husband Nick Cannon makes a cameo in what possibly could be a home movie from the couple's elopement to the Bahamas last Wednesday. The whole video looks like it was slapped together over the weekend, made up of footage of Mariah's promotional tour for her perfume, her recent performance at The Hills premiere party, her Bahamian jaunt, pictures of her and dead people/pets, and some spliced-in shots of her singing on her couch and in an empty room. Clip above, and after the jump, shots of the newlyweds on their honeymoon?

There's Da Brat. She was reportedly at the nuptials:

The Matrimony Of Mimi

Mariah Carey isn't just engaged — she's married! Latina magazine is reporting that they have confirmation that Mariah and Nick Cannon had a "very impulsive" wedding on an island on Wednesday, attended by a few close friends of the couple, one of them being Da Brat. It is the second marriage for the 38-year-old bride, and the first for her 27-year-old groom. Congrats! [Latina via Perez]

Nicole Richie & Family Lead The Way At The ASCAP Awards

Dodai — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Last night at the Kodak Theater, Lionel Richie was presented with a lifetime achievement award by ASCAP, the organization that collects public-performance royalties for its member songwriters and copyright owners. Lionel looked smashing in his tux, and daughters Nicole and Sophia (pictured) were also in very cute, appropriate dresses. But, as with any music industry event, there was some fug on display. Justin Timberlake, Keri Hilson, Fergie, Melanie Brown, Natasha Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles and more appear in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, after the jump.

The Good:

Justin Timberlake and ~~his mom~~ ASCAP's Loretta Munoz complement each other and look ready for spring!

Wow, that color makes Keri Hilson glow. She looks fresh, pretty and appropriate. Time to sing that song she did with Timbaland: "I like you just the way you are."

Katy Perry's little strapless dress is adorable!

Nicole Richie probably spent all night pulling this dress up, since it appears to be dangerously close to falling down. But she looks amazing. Brava!

The Bad:

Animal print again, Scary Spice Melanie Brown?!?! Think outside the bun. Look to Keri Hilson for hints. Also, those boots are hideous.

Natasha Bedingfield would like to welcome you to the Love Boat. She's sailing to waters where it is okay to accessorize like a drunk celebrity on Match Game.

Sara Bareilles also needs to look at Keri Hilson and swap those scuffed boots for some pretty sandals. Maybe she's trying to keep it real, but she's got a freakin' radio hit. She can afford some pumps.

The Ugly:
Awful hair, ugly T-shirt, terrible jeans: At least Da Brat is consistent.

Hey, Fergie Ferg, not sure exactly what is going on with the neckline and waistline of your dress, but something is off. I know this is shot at a weird angle that makes your head look big, and that's not your fault, but a dress with wide-set straps would be more flattering to your neck and shoulders.
