Chris Brown Drops "Till I Die" Vid + Jennifer Williams' LUCID Photoshoot
"Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams--who is readying her return to season 5 of the insane VH1 show--recently shot a new campaign for her Lucid Cosmetics company. We've got a few of her hot pics, plus Chris Brown's brand new video for "Till I Die" inside....
We may not agree with her decision to return to the foolery that is "Basketball Wives," but there's no denying her fabness. Businesswoman and reality star Jennifer Williams recently rocked a pretty photoshoot for her lip gloss company Lucid Cosmetics.
The portrait session was done in NYC and will serve as promo for her new line of glosses. The gold heel-less Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are everything:
Nice.
And just minutes ago, Chris Brown released his brand new video, directed by himself via CBE Entertainment, for his single "Till I Die" ft. Wiz Khalifa & Big Sean (and a cameo by Snoop). Check it below:
His album Fortune drops July 3rd.

We'll keep you posted........
Angela Simmons & Romeo Miller Address Their Suspicious COUPLED UP Pics...Kinda
Is it on and poppin' for hottie rapper/actor Romeo Miller and socialite/businesswoman Angela Simmons? It certainly seems that way. But the twosome is playing coy on Twitter as they exchanged words about getting caught by the paparazzi cams while out on a lunch date yesterday. Check the pics inside, plus what both had to say about it all...
Is it a rap kid hook-up? Master P's son, Romeo (22), who is starring in Tyler Perry's upcoming Madea's Witness Protection flick, and Rev. Run's daughter, Angela (25), looked pretty cozy at lunch in West Hollywood yesterday. The Jumping The Broom actor was spotted with his arm around the Pastry queen as they left out of the eatery--all smiles:
They very well could be friends...but something tells us they could also be much more than just friends. And we wouldn't even be mad at that.
The two tweeted each other about their ping pong date after lunch, getting hounded by paparazzi and wondering what the media would make of it:
No denial...yet. Time will tell...
