Kanye West, @kanyewest - Tweet: "June Eighteen"Kanye deleted all of his tweets, save one: the mystery date. Many speculate it's his album release (his website went blank, too, except for an album cover with no artwork and "play" button that should definitely be pressed); some think it's an update on his baby's due date. Kim K. is the only one he's following, after all. (Photo: PacificCoastNews.com)

J. Cole, @JColeNC - Tweet: "Noooo @tiamowry Don't do itttttttt"J. Cole begs actress Tia Mowry not to listen to his "Cole Summer" as he used the track to reveal an explicit fantasy involving the wife and mother. Though she demanded a link, there's no word if she heard it. She re-tweeted him with a simple, "oh lord."(Photos from left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images, John Ricard/BET)
