Central Park was all dolled up this morning as Nicki Minaj's Barbz flocked to see the "Super Bass" MC perform for Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series.

Rohan Marley Leaves Lauryn Hill (And Unborn Child) For Brazilian Model

Thu Jul 21 2011 by Idolator Staff
Lauryn Hill warned us that some guys are only about "that thing" in her song "Doo Wop," and now her boyfriend has proved it. The miseducated diva's longtime squeeze Rohan Marley has left her for Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana — and what's worse, Lauryn is pregnant with (presumably) his child. The couple have been together since 1996 and have five other children together, and rumors of their split had already surfaced before it was confirmed today via Fontana's Twitter. (Yikes.) Will this further derail Lauryn's long, long, loooong-delayed follow-up album to her Grammy winner — or provide the inspiration she needs to create new music? More »
