While Drake made that a very popular line in his verse on "Stay Schemin," he later apologized, and now it seems like he isn't the only person who's sorry. According to TMZ, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are reconciling their marriage. She appeared at the Valentine's Day Lakers vs. Hawks game in support of the #KobeSystem, which seemingly ended in a victory in more ways than one for the Mamba.

Vanessa initially filed for divorce back in December citing "irreconcilable differences," and has since been awarded three Newport Beach homes and $75 million dollars. Shortly after the announcement, it was reported that Kobe had been taking down Playboy Model Jessica Burciaga. But, as the saying goes "time heels all wounds," so this situation may be no different.

Kobe is currently gearing up to make his 14th NBA All-Star Game appearance in Orlando, Florida. The always star-studded event may confirm TMZ's reports if the [former] couple appear at the celebration together. The NBA Extravaganza tips off on February 24th, and concludes on Feb. 26th with the 61st Annual All-Star Game.

Jump over to TMZ for photos of the couple.

Now that love is in the air today there are still a number of singles out there wondering why they're without a Valentine this holiday season,  and while it could be their looks, their style or their personality, it could very well just be the city that they live in.

It's no secret that some cities are better for singles than others, but which ones rank the highest?

Is there a city in Virginia that proves it's truly for lovers? Is the ‘Chocolate City' really the place to be for Black singles?

The Daily Beast put together a list of the 50 best cities for love based on a high prevalence of marriage, a low incidence of divorce, a relatively happy population and a wealth of bars and restaurants to meet and woo a significant other.

Check out TEN of the top 50 cities for love in the U.S. below.

Tracy "Ice-T" Marrow has been in the entertainment industry since the 1980's as a rap artist creating a stir with controversial records like "Cop Killer," and as an actor on the hit TV series, Law and Order playing a police officer.

He and his wife Coco recently sat with NBC's Peter Bailey in Miami to talk about what makes their union work, her clothing line and Ice's longevity in the game.

The two lovers cite admiration as one of the keys to their happiness. "You can love somebody, but look down on them...you can love them, but you don't admire them," Ice-T explains to Peter.

The seasoned veteran also discusses his future while acknowledging his long run as an active entertainer.

The former New Jack City co-star points out,

"If I've been on Law and Order 11 years and you're eighteen...you were 7 years old when I started doing that show."

He went on to state, "A lot of the youngsters don't have a reference point to me as a rapper, they don't know the dust that me and Public Enemy kicked up."

Check out the footage and more of Ice-T and Coco below.

Stewart justinstewart http://hiphopwired.com/?p=28078 For those that were ready to blame DJ Drama for the delay of mixtapes such as Fabolous, he shows that he has no problems with meeting deadlines.

Teaming up with Chris Brown, the duo drop In My Zone, a Valentine's Day treat from the Mechanical Dummy as he continues to try and find a way to deliver material and force the support back into his fans.

Following the footsteps of Trey Songz, the singer provides his adaptation of recent smash hits such as “Turnt Up”, “Invented Sex”, “I Wanna Rock” and “How Low” along with his originals like “No BullShyte”.

“Invented Head”


“No BullShyte”


Let's just be thankful that he didn't drop his edition of Jay Electronica's “Exhibit C” because everyone must be drained from that overused instrumental.

Stewart justinstewart http://hiphopwired.com/?p=28104 A day of worship turned into a travesty Sunday as two hooded gunmen entered a church in Richmond, California and opened fire on two teens within the service.

According to witnesses, there were three male suspects that entered the New Gethsemane Church of God In Christ Inc, walked up and down the aisles, lefts the building and returned to start the shooting.

“It's stunning and shocking,” said Church deacon Ezekiel Wallace. “It's hard to believe that people would come into God's house and do what they did…It's God's house.”

Of those that were injured in the melee, a 14-year-old boy and 19-year-old man were the victims.  Both, fortunately, are expected to recover, but are unwilling to assist authorities.

Richmond police investigators are under the belief that the attack was premeditated, but no motive has been determined as of yet.

There have been no suspects arrested as of yet.

“God will get you sooner or later,” stated one of the worshippers.
