THE FACTS
Ne-Yo’s rumored new girlfriend was linked to Steve McNair shortly before his murder.

THE SPIN
Ne-Yo’s alleged new girlfriend seems to have quite the reputation.

Of course, we all have our pasts, but some people’s stories sound a lot seedier than others. Such is the case for the woman Ne-Yo is currently parading around as his new personal assistant but others claim is the new woman in his life.

Indeed, Monyetta Shaw’s name has been linked with a lot of male celebrities – most recently Steve McNair.

Should Ne-Yo watch out.

Well, decide for yourself as the YBF shares the word on Ms. Shaw:

Our very reliable source tells us that while Steve McNair was married to his wife Mechelle, Monyetta was one of his mistresses.  And get this: We’re told Monyetta is the woman Steve’s mistress Sahel Kazemi believed was coming between her and Steve…causing her to snap.  And we all know how sadly that ended.

Monyetta went to school at Southern University at Shreveport and has been in videos and played “Odetta” in the 2008 film Soul Men. Said sources also tells us she has dated Ludacris, Dwight Howard, Hosea Chanchez, and other athletes and male celebs.

Ne-Yo was hugged up with her at T-Pain’s Christmas party a few weeks ago (above), but of course passed it off as just a friend he was being sweet too.

And not to mention, they also spent Thanksgiving together with his fam. So yeah, we know the deal Ne-Yo.

But if you like it, we love it.

If I were Ne-Yo I’d call my accountant and set up a field trip to the clinic. But hey, maybe she’s really just his personal assistant or just one of those lucky women who conveniently always land a celebrity guy on their arms. And yeah, maybe even the sky will turn purple next Tuesday, too.

THE FACTS
Grammy award nominations were revealed last night.

THE SPIN
If you haven’t learned by now this is Beyonce’s world and we’re all just jiggin’ and ordering Popeye’s biscuits in it.

Despite being a fan I honestly didn’t expect her to pull out so many nominations, but Beyonce cleaned up last night earning nominations in the three most prestigious categories: Album, Song, and Record of the Year.

She was nominated in seven other categories, while others like Maxwell, Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, earning additional nods as well.

Noticeably absent is previous Grammy darling, Kanye West, whose last offering, “808s and Heartbreaks,” seems to have been overlooked. What a shame, because many people were taken aback by the new description, I didn’t find the album to be that bad.

Also absent was Clive Davis’ favorite, Whitney Houston, who reportedly rushed out her project in order to make the Grammy deadline.

THE FACTS
Mothers of rap and R&B stars plan new talk show. 

THE SPIN
Would you like to spend your daytime with the mamas of Lil’ Wayne, T-Pain, and Ne-Yo?

Yeah, me neither, but there’s probably an audience out there for it. No doubt envious of the attention Keyshia Cole’s mama has received, these three mamas of chart-toppers are said to be in the development stages of a talk show.

They will soon be completing a pilot to shop to major networks.

Apparently, the women are set to talk about an array of topics, but in particular disorderly conduct in the hip-hop world, to domestic issues and hot topics.

So The View with a beat?

Given Wayne’s legal and baby mama drama, T-Pain helping fuel the economy by spending thousands on ridiculous items, and Ne-Yo for nearly every female on the planet (not to mention his own previous cell phone drama), I suppose these women have lots and lots to talk about.

But I still don’t want to see it. Do you?
