How did we miss this before? I’ve never seen a closeup of this terrible tattoo before! According to TMZ, the artist decided he didn’t like his original tattoo – because it looked to phallic. Yeah, no kidding!

The tattoo artist tells TMZ … Brandy’s work hadn’t been completed when she posted the photos online last month … but after certain people hinted the trunk resembled some male genitalia, the artist decided to snip the tip.

The artist, Peter Koskela, tells us, “I wanted to fix the offending tip … remove the whole phallic aspect. I told her I’d just swing it upwards.”

We’re told the trunk-trimming went down earlier this week — hopefully, a mohel was present at the time.

It’s ugly before AND after the penis nose! Ew!

Attention men: Brandy doesn’t want to be single anymore and is looking for love!

In Touch Weekly reports:

After years of messy breakups in the spotlight, Brandy still hasn’t given up on finding Mr. Right. “I’m waiting for my special someone, because I know he’s out there! I believe in love, and I’m a hopeless romantic,” the Dancing With the Stars favorite and single mom told In Touch at TV Guide Magazine’s Hot List Party in Hollywood. Brandy, who split from her daughter’s father just a year after her birth and broke off her engagement to basketball player Quentin Richardson in 2005, still makes her main priority 8-year-old Sy’rai. “She wants an iPhone and a dog!” the singer said of her little girl’s Christmas wish list. Hopefully, Sy’rai will receive an even better gift — her mother’s Dancing With the Stars win!

Just as long as she doesn’t hook up with Maksim Chmerkovskiy! He’s spoken for, thank you very much. Hint, call me, Maks.

R&B star Brandy Norwood opens up to Life & Style about her shocking admittance on the Oct. 11 episode of Dancing with the Stars that she hadn’t been intimate with someone in 6 years.

In an exclusive interview, Brandy clarified her remark. “I haven’t been with a man seriously and in love in six years,” says Brandy, 31. “And, honestly, I tend to abstain if I’m not in a relationship.” So has she been celibate for six years? “Um, no. But it’s been a long time. We’re talking years,” Brandy admits.

The opportunity has certainly been there. “I actually went on a blind date a couple months ago that was very interesting but nothing serious,” she says. She even confirms her interest in rapper Flo Rida. “I was very interested in him,” Brandy says. “I mean, how can you not be — he’s very attractive. But there was just something about us that didn’t click.”

Until Brandy meets the right guy, DWTS is helping her feel confident again. “I always relate sexy to being in love,” she says. “But I’m starting to realize that if I put on a little leotard like when I danced the rumba, I could feel sexy a lot more!”

Singer Brandy opens up for the first time to Us Weekly about her fake marriage and the “traumatic” car accident that left one person dead.

In 2002, Brandy Norwood announced she’d secretly wed music producer Robert Smith the year before – just four months before giving birth to their baby, Sy’rai, when just 22 years old. The pair even acted as husband and wife on MTV series Brandy: A Special Delivery, which documented their daughter’s birth.

But after calling it quits in 2003, Smith told a radio station the marriage never happened.

“I lied because of the fear of what people would think and the pressure to be a good role model,” Norwood, 29, reveals to Us Weekly in her first interview on the topic.

“Our relationship was very real, we just weren’t legally married,” she adds.

Norwood also admits she kept her daughter in the dark about the 2006 multicar collision she was involved in that left a 38-year-old woman dead.

“It was a very tough time, and I still have never talked about it with Sy’rai,” she says. “I had to be a mother and stay strong for her. I’d cry when she’d go to sleep so she wouldn’t see me like that – I had a responsibility to her.”

Though Norwood wasn’t arrested (there was no evidence of drugs or alcohol in her system) and was never charged, a $50 million lawsuit by the victim’s family looms.

But the singer (her next album, Human, hits stores Dec. 9) is moving forward from the past. Watch outtakes from the exclusive Us Weekly photo shoot below.

“I think this is my year because I’ve decided that I’m going to go with the flow in my life,” Norwood tells Us. “The purpose of my life is music. it’s my responsibility to give the fans something they’ve been waiting for, something they deserve.”

Kim Kardashian and her siblings denied allegations they improperly ran up more than $120,000 in charges on the credit card used by R&B singer Brandy Norwood’s mother, according to court papers.

In an answer to the Superior Court lawsuit filed by Sonja Norwood in Los Angeles, the Kardashians “deny generally and specifically each and every allegation,” the papers say.

Norwood’s lawsuit, which also names Kardashian’s siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr., alleges they ran up the charges in 2006 and 2007. It seeks the return of the money plus 10 percent interest.

Kim Kardashian had access to the American Express card when she worked as a stylist for Brandy in 2004 (Brandy’s brother, Ray J, also appeared in the infamous sex tape with Kim). Norwood claims Kim later passed on the card number to her siblings, who also allegedly made unauthorized charges.
