T.I. and Rick Ross got the crowd hype with their performances, a dapper Common freestyled over his single “Celebrate,” and Kelly Rowland serenaded the birthday boy with “Happy Birthday.” If that wasn’t enough, D-Wade was gifted with a 2012 McLaren MP4-12C valued at around $230,000. Other celebrity well wishers included Usher, Flo Rida, LeBron James, and Fat Joe.

Rihanna Headed to Rehab???
Friends fear if Rihanna doesn’t slow down she’ll end up in rehab or worse…
From The National Enquirer
Rihanna’s friends are so worried about her hard-partying ways they’re urging the singer to check into rehab – before she meets the same tragic fate as Amy Winehouse.
Concerns about the “We Found Love” songbird reached a fever pitch in mid-December after she was forced to race offstage during the middle of a concert to vomit. But instead of being more cautious about her well-being after that episode, the 23-year old has continued to party and lose weight.
“Rihanna has gone off the deep end,” disclosed a source in the music industry. “She has been burning the candle at both ends for nearly a year and now she’s on the verge of collapse.

Via US Weekly
In the February issue of Essence, loves of nearly three years Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade talk candidly about their views on marriage — and why Union may be headed to reality TV.
“We’re not rushing it,” Wade, a 29-year-old NBA player, says. “Both of us have been married before, and we understand that if we choose to marry again, we want it to be right.”
(Wade has two sons, Zaire, 9, and Zion, 3, with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches; Union was wed to NFL player Chris Howard from 2001-2006.)
“We both took failing at marriage hard,” Wade explains. “The next time it’s gotta be forever.
Union, who next stars in Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds, echoes her boyfriend’s sentiments. “When it happens, it’s going to be something that only our friends and family know about,” the 39-year-old actress tells Essence. “That is, unless the E! Network comes up with the right number, of course.”
