Christina Milian Confirms The-Dream Engagement

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



After months of rumors and a slew of suggestive pictures streaming across the 'net, Christina Milian has finally confirmed her engagement to singer/songwriter/producer The-Dream.

Milian reportedly took a break from celebrating at Billy Clark's Venom Energy and Trainwork party to break the news to US Weekly magazine.

"We don't have plans yet-- but it hasn't [already] happened, that I can confirm," Milian said when asked about her upcoming marriage to the Love Vs. Money artist. "We just want to have our closest friends and family there; it's not going to be too big."

In addition to jumping the broom, The-Dream says he's already making plans to extend their family with children.

"I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do," Dream said. "... Whenever she makes time for herself -- she'll make that time [to have a baby]. In the next couple of years, there'll be something around."


>>Word has it, she is already preg.

omg! Frankie Tries To Pimp Slap Chilli of TLC?

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

according to theYBF.com reports Apparently Frankie hit up an anniversary party a few weeks ago and Chilli was there. She’s a huge fan of Chilli so she ran up to her hug and stan for her right quick. But then the crackish ways took over and ish turned ugly. According to Freddy O:

The altercation took place at Ryan’s Anniversary party 2 weeks ago and was really just a misunderstanding. Frankie wanted to take a picture with Chili cause she’s her biggest fan.

All I am going to say is Frankie had too many drinks and her alter-ego took over. Chili who was doing an interview at the time was caught by surprise when Frankie ran over to give her a hug. Frankie didn’t like Chili’s return hug.

Chili then walked to where Yung Joc was standing not thinking anything of it and started conversing with him. Out of nowhere, here comes Frankie leaping on top of me trying to get Chili and pushing everyone out of the way in the process.

“You think you better than me,” ” You think you better than me” again Frankie shouted to Chili. Remember, by this time Frankie was officially lit! Chili asked if she was ok and then Frankie tries to grab her again. Chili pushed her hand away and stating “Are you serious?”

Frankie then yelled “my daughter is better than you any way.”



>>>Really, cause If Im thinking correct TLC sold millions more than Keyish, don't play your daughter FRANKIE
