BET's new (but far from new to the game) star Malcolm Jamal Warner is covering the pages of HEED magazine. America's favorite son has grown up to be what he hopes will be America's favorite hubby on his new show "Reed Between The Lines."
Peep the pics inside...
Starring opposite Tracee Ellis Ross in the upcoming sitcom, Malcolm has returned to primetime tv looking...dare we say it....grown and sexy. Here's his new photoshoot pics for the mag, shot by photographer Robert Ector:
We're still curious as to whether he's still dating fellow teen-turned-bonafide actress Regina King. Hmmm....

You know, it's really true: you really do learn something new every day. For instance, my girlfriend just discovered that she's allergic to mangos. For another, and more to the point of the movies realm, I never knew that kids are susceptible to supernatural contact ? but now I do, thanks to a brand new [...]
More audio recordings of Michael Jackson slurring his speech and speaking about the pain of his childhood were introduced, along with findings from an interview Dr. Conrad Murray gave to investigators shortly after Michael's death. Get the highlights inside....
Week two of the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial proved even more shocking than the first as jurors heard audio recordings of a "seemingly" drugged up Michael Jakcson and got a detailed account about what Dr. Conrad Murray says happened during Michael's final hours.
A few weeks before his death, Dr. Murray recorded a conversation with Michael that was discovered on his iPhone. During the conversation Michael said,
"Elvis didn't do it. Beatles didn't do it. We have to be phenomenal," Jackson said. "When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, 'I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I've never seen nothing like this. Go. It's amazing. He's the greatest entertainer in the world.' I'm taking that money, a million children, children's hospital, the biggest in the world, Michael Jackson Children's Hospital. Going to have a movie theater, game room."
He continued....
"Children are depressed. The -- in those hospitals, no game room, no movie theater. They're sick because they're depressed. Their mind is depressing them. I want to give them that. I care about them, them angels. God wants me to do it. God wants me to do it. I'm going to do it, Conrad."
"Don't have enough hope, no more hope. That's the next generation that's going to save our planet, starting with -- we'll talk about it. United States, Europe, Prague, my babies. They walk around with no mother. They drop them off, they leave -- a psychological degradation of that. They reach out to me: 'Please take me with you.'"
He ended by saying,
"That will be remembered more than my performances. My performances will be up there helping my children and always be my dream. I love them. I love them because I didn't have a childhood. I had no childhood. I feel their pain. I feel their hurt. I can deal with it. 'Heal the World,' 'We Are the World,' 'Will You Be There,' 'The Lost Children.' These are the songs I've written because I hurt, you know, I hurt."
If hearing an "out-of-it" King Of Pop slurring on the phone wasn't shocking enough, jurors also heard an audiotaped interview Dr. Murray did with the LAPD two days after Michael's death.
During the interview, Dr. Murray revealed that Michael had a pet name for Propofol....he called it milk.
Dr. Murray: [Michael Jackson] said, "I'd like some milk," Detective Martinez: Milk? Detective Smith: About what time was this? Dr. Murray: This he said, "please, please give me some milk so that I can sleep, because I know that this is all that really works for me" Detective Smith: Hot milk or warm or just-- Dr. Murray: It's just some medicine-- Detective Smith: What-- Dr. Murray: --that he was familiar with Detective Martinez: What is the medicine? Dr. Murray: It's called Propofol
He also revealed how he broke the news of Michael's death to Mrs. Jackson....
So we -- they brought her into a room down the hall. And I went in there with the emergency room physician who was treating him, whom I was with all the time through his code, and they broke the news to Mrs. Jackson. So the doctor started to tell that, you know her son came in and he was having difficulty breathing and they tried everything. And she said, "well how is he? He's not dead is he?" and the doctor said "yes," and she broke down. It was very -- and weeping. We stayed there, held her hand."
And here's how he told the children....
They asked questions, and the children found out that daddy wasn't doing well, that he had passed away. And then they were weeping, really weeping...after they cried and cried and then his daughter uttered a lot of words of unhappiness, and you know she will live alone without her dad and she didn't want to be an orphan...She cried and was very stark. And then she asked to see him. And then that was another thing. How do you let children see him? I asked them to prepare Mr. Jackson's body, make it as presentable as possible, because I recommended an autopsy be performed, so that the children would be able to view their daddy and have them say good-bye to him at this time."
But the most shocking tid bit revealed during Dr. Murray's interview was that he told the LAPD that he only left Michael's bedroom for two-three minutes to go to the bathroom after 10:40 a.m.; however, cell phone records indicate that the doctor was on the phone several of his girlfriends/baby mamas (who all took the stand as well and foolishness ensued) in the minutes leading up to Michael Jackson's death.
The phone records don't lie.....and Dr. Murray is going to have a hard time explaining why he shouldn't be considered "negligent" as his patient lay dying and he was outside on the phone with one of his boo thangs....
Week three begins on Tuesday.
BONUS........
Nicole Alvarez was one of the girlfriends that Dr. Murray called while tending to MJ. And of course....she is an actress. She spends her days working on her....instrument. Watch her camera-ready testimony/demo-reel audition tape above......
Pop icon Whitney Houston has been confirmed to appear in the Sparkle remake and excited producers are already pulling together some fashion heavyweights for her wardrobe. Get the deets inside....
When Whitney Houston graces the big screen asJordin Sparks' mother in the Sparkle remake, expect to see the "Saving All My Love" singer in some fabulous garments.
Her clothing will be designed by the legendary b michael and two-time Oscar nominated costume designer Ruth Carter. The pair will also create looks Jordin Sparks.
She?s less than two years away from being over the hill, but Heidi Klum is not letting that stop her from oozing sexiness.
The Victoria?s Secret bombshell shows off her slim figure in nothing but a pair of J Brand jeans, a floppy hat and Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses in the August 2011 issue of Glamour.
Opening up to the magazine about her healthy sex life with husband Seal, Heidi explained how the couple keeps things hot in the bedroom.
She revealed, "There's nothing wrong with a nice garter belt," she tells the mag. "I'm not saying you have to put up a pole in your bedroom and start swinging off the rafters. But I love that sometimes! My husband and I just had a 'sexy week' in London. I'd put on a super-short skirt with a garter belt on underneath so that when I'd sit, he could see it. It's fun to sauce it up a little bit."

Jensen?s Ackles second debut in the director?s chair aired tonight. Get the full recap of Supernatural?s latest episode entitled ?The Girl Next Door? below. Since first hearing the news that Jensen Ackles would be running the show once again, Supernatural?s episode ‘The Girl Next Door’ has been on my radar. With buzz dating back to the days of this year?s Comic Con, the episode was also a highly anticipated one because of Sam?s reunion with a long lost love played by actress Jewel Staite. Finally here, the Winchester?s have definitely made the wait well worth it. Giving us an episode that travels back in time with the young Sam, and a girl from his past, this latest installment was easily one of my favorites. It had all the makings of the old Supernatural, a little bit of the untarnished Sam with compassion and understanding, Dean taking the wheel and playing big brother, and Bobby bouncing back with a few jokes, and that “I don’t care attitude.” There was also a few new minor amusing story lines we haven’t seen before. Dean actually broke his leg and decides to take his own cast off with a small saw. Bobby’s house becomes [...]
Hugh Jackman is, quite possibly, the perfect man. He sings, he dances, he can do comedy and drama and action and romance, he?s easy on the eyes. But most importantly, he?s a nice guy. So what?s this all-around good bloke doing playing bad dad Charlie Kenton in ?Real Steel?? Or Drover in ?Australia?? Or Wolverine?

Fan favorite The Black Eyed Peas have pulled out of the Michael Forever event to be held this weekend in honor of The King of Pop. Wowza to pull out this close to the event means something big must of happened right? The Michael Jackson tribute concert will have one less band playing this Saturday in Wales. It seems that will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap will not be present at the festivities honoring Jackson after all. Pretty shocking news if you ask me. Given that the group has pulled out so close to the show one would think there is some big dramatic reason behind it, well you very well might be right. Those involved are being very tight lipped about what actually went down to cause the group to no longer be on the list of performers that night. Global Live Events is the company behind the show and they released this statement. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Black Eyed Peas will be unable to perform at this Saturday?s Michael Forever event. As for The Black Eyed Peas well a rep for them has simply just confirmed that the band will not be playing the event. There was however [...]
I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.
When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."
B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.
I hated her.
Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.
WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?
Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?
Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.
I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.
