Usually we’re happy when separated couples get back together, but hearing about Christina Milian hooking up with The-Dream is a different story. Last summer he publicly cheated on her, humiliating the then-pregnant pop star. So when Hello Beautiful reported that the two were seen making out in Vegas over the weekend, we weren’t sure whether to be happy or apprehensive.

When speaking with Latina magazine in January, Milian admitted that she’d been “to hell and back” dealing with the high-profile divorce. There were ruthless court battles, custody issues, and some vitriolic tweets from friends of The-Dream.

“I hope Christina Milian baby don't get her toes...so many corns on them mothafucka's they should come with chicken and mashed potatoes!!!” rapper The Game posted earlier in the year.

So after all of that, it really seemed impossible to think that Christina and her ex would get back together. But apparently that’s exactly what happened. Visiting Sin City for the 10th Annual Michael Jordan Invitational, Milian spent her Saturday night publicly smooching The-Dream at the casino in the Wynn Hotel.

Though Christina never actually confirmed the hookup, there were plenty of witnesses on hand. And Milian did post an interesting tweet after the weekend wrapped up.

“Good ole Vegas, the city that never sleeps.”

Let’s hope she takes the attitude of what happens in the Wynn Hotel stays in the Wynn Hotel.

Talking about your problems can be therapeutic. Maybe that's why Christina Milian opened up to Latina magazine about her marriage to The-Dream.

Milian, Latina magazine's February 2011 cover girl, described the time she was married to the self-proclaimed “Radio Killa” as “hell” and admitted her sixth sense did kick in, despite being in the dark about her husband's infidelities.

“I didn’t know anything," she told Latina in an exclusive interview. "But looking back, my gut was telling me something was off. But I thought I could fix it.”

“No matter what, you can’t change who you are. I know that now. I tried to be someone I wasn’t because I wanted my marriage to work. But ultimately, if it’s not working, it’s not working.”

The public break-up was an eye-opening experience that Milian said taught her a lot about her strength and resilience.

“I learned a lot about myself this year," she said. "I learned what I can handle. I learned how much I can take. I learned who I am and what I will accept for myself and my daughter.”

Now that the drama is behind her, she's ready for whatever the new year brings.

“I feel brand new," she said. "I’ve been to hell and back, but I survived. I’m stronger for it and now I’m ready for the next phase of my life.”

We're loving her sexy confidence, but the "Say I" singer says we can thank beautiful baby Violet for the glow.

“Being a new mother definitely makes me feel so much sexier than ever before," she told the magazine. "There’s a certain responsibility that I carry being a mom that makes me feel very confident and so blessed. Being a mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

The Game is known for being a tough West Coast gangster rapper who has had many feuds, most notably with former label-mate 50 Cent, but it's his constant negativity towards Christina Milian that has us scratching our heads.

Back in January, Game went on a Twitter tirade taking shots at Christina Milian's feet. According to hellobeautiful.com:

“I hope Christina Milian baby don't get her toes...so many corns on them mothafucka's they should come with chicken and mashed potatoes!!!”

He even linked a photo to his tweet showing a grotesque looking foot that he said was Milian's:

“Here go a picture of her feet http://yfrog.com/35x5ybj”

Then, following Milian's split from her artist/producer The Dream, Game felt the need to voice his opinion about the situation and used the opportunity to bring up Milian's dogs.

According to Hiphopwired.com, Game tweeted:

“I know Christina feet aint the bizness & all but, d*mn.....you leave her & the baby for L.A.'s version of “MASTER SPLINTER”? #dayyyyyyyyum.”

Then, on Saturday, in light of the holiday season, Game participated in Twitter's trending topic, "If Santa was black," at Christina's expense, by tweeting:

“#ifsantawasblack he would have 3 “HO HO HO'S”...Kat (RAT) Stacks, Karinne (Supahead) Steffans & Christina Milian <-----shots fired!!!"

Ouch! We're wondering if Milian did something to provoke Game. Or perhaps it's a classic case of boy likes girl so boy makes fun of girl to hide his true feelings. Either way, we're sure C-Milli isn't going to waste her time and respond because after all, she's got her beautiful baby Violet to look after.

For months now, Kanye West has been giving fans a taste of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy through his G.O.O.D. Friday initiative, but for Rihanna, he rolled out his entire album — a move that had just as much to do with their friendship as it did with convincing her to jump on a track.

Rihanna told MTV News at Sunday's EMAs:

"[Kanye] actually played his album to me, like, three months ago, and 'All of the Lights,' that was one of my favorite songs. So when he asked me to come up to the studio at 2 o'clock in the morning, I had to, because I loved it, I knew it was that song."

Rihanna, of course, lent her vocals to the hook of Yeezy's popular "All of the Lights," which also features contributions from a bevy of artists including Alicia Keys, John Legend, The-Dream, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Elton John, Ryan Leslie, Charlie Wilson, Tony Williams and La Roux's Elly Jackson.

The track — which is featured prominently in Ye's "Runaway" film — leaked last week to rave reviews, joining a number of other tracks from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that have debuted before the album's release. Of course, West fans received a special surprise on Tuesday (November 9) when the album leaked in its entirety, much to Yeezy's chagrin we're sure.

The album, due November 22, will feature five different covers, which West unveiled last week during a Ustream broadcast.

And you thought Christina Milian was the breadwinner in her marriage? Think again! MediaTakeOut is reporting that her ex, The-Dream, will have to pay the singer a total of $4 million dollars in alimony for their four-month union. And that’s not even including child support!

Who knew being a music producer would make you so much cash? Obviously The-Dream is in demand right now, having worked on “Single Ladies” and J. Lo's upcoming album. But coughing up $4 million bucks and $5,000 a month in child support means he’s got to have a pretty hefty bank account.

Of course, there’s a good reason The-Dream got slapped with such heavy costs. If you recall, he was caught cheating on Christina and walked away from his wife after just four months! Despite it all, he did get one stipulation in the final divorce negotiations. Milian has been ordered never to publicly discuss anything about their marriage.

One thing Christina does enjoy discussing publicly is the joy she’s now feeling for their daughter, Violet. The courts have granted her full custody of the nine-month-old (with visitation rights for The-Dream), whom she happily Tweets about on a regular basis.

“I voted today! took Violet with me. Lol, she grabbed the divider on my voting booth and knocked it over. Lol, akward moment.. :)uh, hi :)”

Very cute…

It seems like the celebrity gossip blogs just can’t seem to leave Christina Milian alone. It’s bad enough that she publicly endured all of that cheating drama with The-Dream following the birth of their baby, but now reports are surfacing that the singer/actress is pregnant again!

Mediatakeout is saying that a close Milian source is confirming yet another pregnancy. Is The-Dream the daddy? Most likely, yes. Reports have surfaced that he is still seeing Christina regularly and working on reconciling their broken relationship.

BUT…to add even more Chisme to the mix, there are also rumors that the father could be Def Jam Records exec Shawn “Pecas” Costner! Known to be one of The-Dream’s closest friends, could this be the ultimate revenge move by Christina?

Back in August Milian absolutely denied dating Costner, Tweeting:

“Lol, these damn hungry photogs tryin make a story for some paper..Shame on them.. Ps, Peccas is like my Big Brother. Y’all need to chill out w that silly stuff man”

But rumors of their hookups continue to persist. Of course we have to emphasize, that these are still ALL RUMORS. Neither the romance nor the pregnancy have been confirmed in any way, shape, or form. But that hasn’t stopped millions of online Tweeters and fans from buzzing about it.

Fresh off inking her twelve million dollar "American Idol" contract, Jennifer Lopez proves that she's much more than just an "AI" host by teaming up with Miami's Bawse Rick Ross on her newly released infectious track "Run The World."

Rumor has it the catchy single is a re-recording off her forthcoming LP Love?, which was slated for  release in January, but has since been postponed indefinitely.

Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, "Run The World" is the latest leak off Love? , but definitely not the first. The heavily auto-tuned "Good Hit" made its internet cameo late last month with a 90 second snippet, and her "Fresh Out The Oven" duet with Pitbull has been in rotation for almost a year now.

Have you heard "Run The World?" Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

When you think about it, J. Lo couldn’t have thought of a better name for her upcoming single. After some disappointing sales with her last album, Brave, a "Good Hit” is exactly what she’s looking for right now.

Though listeners weren’t exactly treated to the entire song, a one and a half minute snippet was released throughout the web today (August 31), giving fans some insight into the musical direction she’s headed towards. Two words…Auto Tune.

It’s also been reported that J. Lo brought along some top talent to bring “Good Hit” to life. Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, it’s actually hard to decipher that it’s really Jennifer on the mic (there’s some heavy electronics in the mix), but the beat is definitely catchy.

Rumor has it that “Good Hit” is being planned for her next highly-anticipated Love? album. Originally scheduled to be released back in January, Love?’s building quite a bit of buzz (especially after hearing that “Fresh Out The Oven” Pitbull duet) and the new single’s only adding to the hype. We can’t wait to hear all of the “Good Hits” it has in store.

Damn! Looks like this whirlwind couple's courtship is coming to a close. Less than a year after Christina Milian wed The-Dream (real name: Terius Nash) in a Sin City ceremony (and five months after the couple welcomed daughter Violet ), UsMagazine.com is reporting that the married producer was caught canoodling in the Caribbean with his assistant over the weekend.

R&B's go-to-guy wasn't wearing his ring and was photographed with his assistant of one year, Melissa Santiago, straddling him in one photo and grabbing her booty while she wrapped her arms around him in another.

After the news broke, Christina took to her twitter account to clear up any confusion:

"WHATEVER YOU THINK. BELIEVE IT."

The-Dream quickly countered, releasing the following statement through his rep to UsMagazine.com:

"Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward."

Whether infidelity was the initial cause of the split we're unsure, but the couple haven't been photographed together in months. Adding insult to injury, Milian is no stranger to unfaithful relationships; her very public pairing with Nick Cannon had a similar fate.

Hopefully Christina and baby Violet can move passed this.

There was one thing you couldn't ignore at last night’s (June 2) "Thank Me Later" listening session in New York City: Drake's megawatt smile. Seemingly worry-free about this week's Thank Me Later album leak, the handsome rapper excitedly lead a room full of industry insiders through a play-by-play of his album.

“I gave away free music for years,” Drake had tweeted earlier, alluding to the numerous mixtapes he made available for free download. “So we’re good over here,” he continued. “Just allow it to be the soundtrack to your summer and ENJOY! JUNE 15th!”

Behind a glass wall that separated him from industry guests, Drizzy solely operated the album preview and gave insight behind each track. As the night progressed, Birdman, Lauren London, Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Jay Sean and other celebs "sneaked in" to join him.

An overall feel of accomplishment and celebration flourished throughout the studio, lifting spirits and hands holding glasses of champagne.

Here are a few thoughts on tracks from Thank Me Later that won Team Blogamole's collective heart at the listening session:
