Loose LipsJimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman: dunzo. The break up was mutual and they ask to respect their privacy and etc, etc.. • In response to haters who talked smack about her, Erykah Badu struck back in the forums of her website. She tells those who judge her for having different fathers for her children to, among other things, "kiss my placenta." Best insult ever. • Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban won't be selling photos of wee Sunday Rose…at least not for a while. According to a source, "They don't think it's appropriate to make deals. They are still deciding how they feel about (it) - if and when they will release a photo at all." [Us, Young, Black and Fabulous,Dlisted ]

Not a lot of women would defend Louis Farrakkhan, much less defend Louis Farrakhan in Israel but singer Erykah Badu does not give a fuck; she'll tell you if you've got period blood on your ass, she'll tell you when you need to get ass implants, and no she does not know the names of any Israeli pop singers off the top of her head why the fuck should she. In this clip from the forthcoming IFC documentary film Before The Music Dies, Erykah offers up tomorrow's female industry darlings some frank advice on the real secret to success: "ho shit." Lol.

Dear Hillary: We know one person who neither denounces nor rejectsLouis Farrakhan: Erykah Badu. We took a listen to her new album Amerykah last night, and just three songs in, Badu literally sings Farrakhan's praises, saying, "So I salute you, Farrakhan, yes, because you are me." Badu has voiced her support for the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader before — in Israel, no less — but (ahem) Jesus Christ, did she have to do it again in the midst of such a beautiful song? [Haaretz]
Erykah Badu, the "neo-soul sorceress" and honorary Jezebel, celebrated two things yesterday: Her 37th birthday and the release of her first album in five years, New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War). Badu first came to the public's notice with her awesome 1997 release Baduizm and her neo-bohemian look and attitude (remember her large turban?) and, although many critics can't quite understand her music, most are just glad to see her back in the recording studio. Some collected reviews after the jump.
