Coffee Talk: Robin Thicke 'Learning to Be a Dad'

Here's what's got us stirring our coffee this morning: Robin Thicke nicely is adjusting to being a dad to his 2-and-a-half-month-old son, Julian. He says he likes playtime and is already tired of changing diapers. A Lauryn Hill song has leaked to the internet -- we're not sure if it's a new recording, but it's totally quenching our thirst for L. Boogie. Plus, Nicki Minaj teamed up with will.i.am for "Your Love." And Rod Blagojevich uses R. Kelly's former defense lawyer.

  • Robin Thicke says he’s still “learning how to be a dad.” Thicke told People he’s down with play time and not so into diaper duty. [People]
  • NBA free agent Lorenzo Wright is missing. According to Atlanta Police, Wright was last seen when he went to hang out with his kids, who live with his ex-wife in Smyrna, Georgia. Wright allegedly left the house at 2 a.m. and hasn’t been seen since. It’s like he literally dropped off the face of the earth,” Lt. Norm Dixon of the Collierville Police Department said. [AJC]
  • The wife of Charlotte Bobcats player Stephen Jackson was held at gunpoint when three men broke into their home, locked her in a bathroom and stole the couple’s valuables. [EurWeb]
  • We’ve all MyStalked our exes’ new girlfriends. Now Ask Men compiles “The Five Craziest Things Women Do on Facebook,” like “posting a fake relationship status.” Step away from the mouse, girl. [AM]
  • Want a taste of something new from Lauryn Hill? Listen to her “Repercussions.” No one knows how new or old this track is, but it’s officially leaked and it’s classic L. Boogie. [UD]

  • Reverend Al Sharpton is on the cover of “Newsweek” in a story titled “The Reinvention of the Reverend Al,” which takes a look at the “charismatic preacher activist.” Former NYC Mayor David Dinkins says Sharpton has “grown up and matured, as most people do if they live long enough.” [EurWeb]
  • It looks like Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey are patching things up. At least for a chance to take their daughter Nahla on a vacation to South Africa. [RO]
  • Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is looking to R. Kelly’s former defense lawyer, Sam Adam Jr., to represent him in his corruption trial. [G]
  • Actor Carl Gordon, best known as the Charles S. Dutton’s father Andrew on “Roc” passed away on July 20, 2010. He was 78. May he rest in peace. [EurWeb]
