Pics of the disco queens bringing those Studio 54 days to the runway inside…

France’s Les Beaux-Arts de Paris was transformed into a 70′s disco theme as the disco icons belted out Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive," Sister Sledge’s "We Are Family," and more for the Etam Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show last night.

The ladies paid tribute to the era donning sparkles galore.  And the runway models kept true to the times as well in colorful bodysuits, crazy accessories, and cotton candy afros:

By the way, the youngest sister of Sister Sledge, Kathy (in gold), just celebrated her 53rd birthday and looks fab-u-lous.  And Grace Jones, 59, kept up the usual look of mystery with a face mask and a killer bodysuit.  WORK.

In a shockingly candid article, Terrell Owens OPENS up about being the fallen football star with baby momma drama, debt and how feeling totally left out has led to him being in "hell."  Get the deets inside….

Terrell Owens KNOWS drama.   In the past couple of years, there were two alleged suicide attempts, courts cases with FOUR baby mommas, loss of income (no NFL team wants him) and a big fallout with former BFFs Mo and Kita.  Now during a candid interview with GQ for their February 2012 issue, he talks about all of it….and so do a few other people.  Here are the highlights from T.O. being discussed by himself and those close to him….

On why no NFL team will pick T.O. up

An unnamed NFL exec said, "It’s not his knee that’s the problem; it’s his attitude.  He may have been less openly divisive with the Bengals, but you can’t live down the destruction of all those years. With T.O., no matter how brilliant he can be on the field, the dark side is always lurking. You don’t know which T.O. you’re going to get, and no one is comfortable risking that."

On his vulnerability

Reality tv-show producer Jesse Ignjatovic said, "I can’t imagine another NFL player who would let us film while he told his mother, who relied on him, that he was going broke, someone who wouldn’t hold back tears while he stood there in her kitchen."

On how his business partners helped him blow $80M

"I hate myself for letting this happen.  I believed that they had my back when they said, ‘You take care of the football, and we’ll do the rest.’ And in the end, they just basically stole from me."

On being lonely

"I don’t have no friends. I don’t want no friends. That’s how I feel."

On baby momma regrets

He says, "If there’s anything I’m sorry about, it’s getting involved with all that." He added that he never dated any of the four women he impregnated…mostly they were "repeat offenders."  He resents them for suing him for more child support money as he’s going broke.

On suicide attempts - 

He chalks them both up to "misunderstandings."

On his big fallout with Mo and Kita

He says he missed Monique and Kita whom he stopped speaking to after he  discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. "They said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were business partners, don’t you think I would have known about it?"

Via Vulture:

The once-rumored stand-up tour with Dave Chappelle still might happen. During a chat with Vulture about his movie 2 Days In New York, Rock briefly talked to us about his upcoming projects, and while he didn’t have much to say about his role in the omnibus comedy What To Expect When You’re Expecting, he’s pretty excited to go out on tour.

“I’ve been talking to Chappelle a lot. Been trying to get Chappelle to go on tour,” he told us. Those reports had surfaced briefly in October, but we’d heard nothing since then; is Rock really going to make this a reality? “You know I’m not the hard one,” he said, laughing. “But I’m trying to make that happen. After seeing Kanye and Jay-Z, I was like, ‘Me and Dave should do this.’”

MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

NYC rapper Maino has had the city buzzing over a new track that was released yesterday that seems to be about Lil’Kim. For those who don’t know, Maino and Kim used to be an item back in the day, before he blew up.

The track is called “I Still Love You,” and although he doesn’t use Kim’s name, he drops enough clues in the first verse for you to guess the “queen’s” identity. Check out some of the lyrics below:

“Everybody knew I took n*ggas to war for you/All the times you said the industry fake don’t let it fool me/The jewels that you dropped on the game you used to school me…”

“I rolled with you straight to the jail, that’s how I do/Kites to the joint expressing how much I love you/Still a queen even in greens…”

“Things change/You came home and we moving different/Emotions now getting involved/We in our feelings/Fighting and we arguing, sh*t we never used to do/We don’t even speak no more/You was claiming I was using you…”

“I still love you though.”

Awww, how sweet! I love me some thug sensitivity! Take a listen to the track below:

The much-buzzed about rapper and newest Bad Boy Records artist, French Montana, recently visited the Angie Martinez show on HOT97 in NYC, and explained why he didn’t sign with G.O.O.D. Music. Check out what he said about meeting up with Kanye to discuss possibly signing to his label:

“I met up with him one time and then I met up with him again,” French said. “There were things that I was used to ’cause I was already moving. I’m like a money train.”

But that money train came to a halt when he couldn’t get Kanye on the phone.

“Kanye doesn’t have a phone. If you need to get in contact with Kanye, you have to email him,” said the 27-year-old. “You can’t tell me how to do that. I don’t know how to use an e-mail, so I guess me and you is never gonna talk, and I’ma put my career in your hands?”

But he doesn’t hold any hard feelings towards Yeezy. “He’s definitely talented, and I felt like if I went there, we would have definitely made history.”

French also said he is happy about his decision to sign to Bad Boy.  Montana is currently prepping his Bad Boy debut, which will be co-executive produced by Diddy and Rick Ross. In addition to his single, “Shot Caller,” he can be heard on Rick Ross’ Rich Forever mixtape cut, “Stay Schemin’” featuring Drake.

Do you think Kanye really doesn’t have a phone??? I tell you one thing, I bet Jigga can get him on the horn!
