In Angie Stone’s new song with Betty Wright called “Baby,” she sings about a relationship that went south because her significant other started to feel like he was too good for her. I wonder where she got that idea from?

The video takes Stone’s D’Angelo drama and twists it into a whole dramatic hero storyline involving Eva Pigford as a movie star and Mike Epps as an unlikely hero.

D’Angelo isn’t looking like anybody’s prize.

Angie Stone talks about D’Angelo in Essence:

When I was dating him he wore glasses, had short hair and his pants were hanging down to his butt. He was just a 19-year-old kid with big shorts and nobody cared and no one saw his beauty but me. And I told him, “You are beautiful. I promise you when your record drops your lips are gonna become famous, your eyes—everything will become famous. But he couldn’t see it because his self-esteem wasn’t where it is today. He didn’t even have an image and his hair was really short so I braided his hair with thread for his first album cover. It wasn’t until Brown Sugar came out that people actually took a good look at him and said, “You know what? He’s fine.” Then all of a sudden, he’s so fine he shouldn’t be with me..

Paul Pierce and Baron Davis’ All-Star Weekend in L.A. was supposed to be about charity, but wouldn’t it have been more charitable for this disaster of a couple to stay home? On second thought, they probably bring much entertainment to whatever party they attend. As long as they keep the PDAs to a minimum, that is.

Check out more pics from the weekend festivities.

Look how happy Amerie is to be posing with her very own leather BET bag! Yesterday, more stars in town for the BET Awards filed into the “Backstage Creations Talent Retreat” to pick up some free electronics and bags embossed with the network logo. The only one not posing with some merchandise is Flavor Flav, but probably got the publicists didn’t think an image of him touching one of their products would make any of us plebes consider going out and buying them. Check out the rest of the pics after the jump.
