Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:44 AM PST

 

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and it looks like the celebs are having big fun attending all the pre-Superbowl parties.  Come inside and see pics of Snoop Dogg, Nelly, John Legend, Chad OchoCinco, and others kickin' it down south....

Forget about the bad weather.  Celebs have packed their bags and headed down to Dallas, Texas to get their party on:  

 

Snoop Dogg was spotted doing an interview at ESPN Magazine's NEXT Party where he also chatted up Nelly.  Y'all know Snoop loves his Black and Yellow.


Rev. Run was also at the NEXT party where he kicked it with Kid Rock.

 

Chanel Iman was at the party as well...looking quite fab.  I would love to see her model walk through that icy weather in those boots.

At the PepsiCo Super Bowl Weekend Kickoff Party, soccer player Landon Donovan posed with tennis legend Serena Williams.

LOVES this look for her.


 

And Lenny Kravitz headlined the PepsiCo party.

Chad OchoCinco attended the PepsiCo party with fiance' Evelyn on his arm. 

The uber-stylish and D-Town native Erykah Badu hosted a Grey Goose event where she jammed on the 1s and 2s as her alter-ego DJ Loretta Brown.

MC Hammer went to the Black Eyes Peas Superbowl Party, which was sponsored by Bacardi and Sports Illustrated.

 

And of course Will.I.Am was there looking fashion forward.

 

The red-carpet loving couple, Mr. Legend and Ms. Teigen, also stopped by the Black Eyed Peas party.

There was also a gospel celebration connected to the Superbowl in Dallas.  Emmit Smith came out to support his friend Kirk Franklin.

And Mary Mary performed at the event.  Hmmm....I wonder if there was a bar at the gospel celebration.

Cee-Lo and the Goodie Mob attended the GQ, Cadillac, Lacoste And Patron Tequila party, named "Celebrate Coolest Athletes And The Big Game."

 

Terrell Owens was there.

Kandi Burruss' ex-boo Willis McGahee was there as well.

And you can't have a GQ party without Mr. GQ himself, Boris Kodjoe.

At the Bud Light/Playboy party, Snoop Dogg posed with a few of the bunnies.

While "Papa" Snoop posed alone.

Meagan Good was there.  Sigh...this outfit.

Flo Rida was there rocking his fresh edge-up.

Whew.....lots of parties and people to see. And it's only the beginning.

O SNAP! Gilbert Arenas Served Child Support Papers During Halftime!

Posted: 05 Feb 2011 07:15 AM PST

You can run but you can't hide, literally. So ish just got more real and more embarrasing for Gilbert Arenas. The Orlando Magic baller was served those child support papers (the ones he's been dodging for weeks now) during halftime of Thursday's game against the Heat.

 

Read more about how he got served and how his baby mama 4 times over, Laura Mendoza Govan, is not letting him cut her out of what she feels she deserves...

According to CBS Sports, on Thursday night, during the Orlando Magic's game against the Miami Heat, a server stopped Arenas as he walked off the floor and served him court documents regarding a California petition filed by Laura Mendoza Govan, who is pregnant with their fourth child, and previously claimed he abandoned herand their three kids with no support.

Last month, we reported that Laura filed a petition with her attorneys that detailed Gilbert's crazy spending habits, just how often he kicked her out of the house, miscarriages, her allowance, and him being a deadbeat. 

And in the petiton served on Thursday night, Laura is seeking $109,000 in monthly support payments from Arenas and $1.3 million annually. Damn!

Govan states in the documents that she and Arenas had about a nine-year relationship that included a September 2008 engagement. The documents also say they lived together in a pair of homes that Arenas owned in Virginia while playing with the Wizards.

Wow! This explains why Arenas' game was off during the second half Thursday night. Seems like that Karma bus came and hit both her and her sister Gloria. Notice neither one is having “happy times.” Can't lie though, Laura sure would make an interesting character if she was ever casted for "Basketball Wives."

By the time cops arrived at the home of a 40-year-old woman in Westchester, NY, Flex was gone.

Cops located the funkmaster a little while later and arrested him on "charges of harassment, aggravated harassment and criminal mischief."

He was arraigned in Greenburgh Town Court and released on $500 bail.  He will have a hearing about the case later this month and has been ordered to stay away from his accuser.

ON THE SET: Willow Smith's "Teen Vogue" Photoshoot (VIDEO)

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 11:00 AM PST

 

Willow Smith appears in the March issue of Teen Vogue and we have pics from the spread along with behind the scenes video when you go inside...

 

With her debut single "Whip My Hair" reaching over 34 million hits on YouTube and the number eleven slot on the Billboard Hot 100, Willow Smith is ready for big things.  She appears in the March issue of Teen Vogue where she talked about fame and her style. 

 

 

Asked about her personal style Willow said, "I wear anything I feel like. If I want to put on a pair of Converse with a pencil stuck through them, I will."

As parents, she says Will and Jada give her a lot of freedom. 
"They aren't strict. They won't be like, 'Willow, clean up your room!' They'll be like, 'Willow, will you please clean up your room?' And I'll be like, 'OK,' and do it."

Willow knows it takes hard work to become famous and she is willing to do it.  "You can pick how famous you want to be.  If you don't work hard, then you aren't going to have the success that you want. But if you work hard and dig in, then you are going to have the success that you want."

 

Here are some other outtakes:

 

 

In this behind the scenes video from her Teen Vogue photo shoot, Willow Smith talks about the three things that she can't live without, who's on her music playlist, and her favorite stores. Watch the video below:

TV FAB: Tearjerking Moment As The Philadelphia Eagles Surprise 13-year-old Bullying Victim (VIDEO)

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 09:37 AM PST

A young boy from Pennsylvania who endured what cops called "the most heinous case of bullying ever seen" was surprised by the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday on "The View."  After the jump watch a feel-good YBF moment of a young man reclaiming his power... 

 

Last month, 13-year-old Nadin Khoury of Pennsylvania, suffered through what cops in Philly called "the most heinous case of bullying ever seen." 

On January 11, Nadin experienced the longest seven minutes of his life.  It all began when seven teenage boys drug him across a snow covered street like he was a dead animal.  Then the pack of thugs hung him upside-down in a tree.  And the horror didn't end there, it was only beginning.  As Nadin screamed for his life, one of the boys pulled out his cell phone and began filming the assault. 

Nadin soon fell from the tree and began running for his life.  The thugs then chased him down and used his coat to hang him on a 7-foot high spiked post.  All of this happened in a crowded neighborhood, on a busy day, yet no one called the police even as Nadin screamed for his life.

Police who later arrested the pack of boys said Nadin could have  been killed as his head could have been impaled by the spike on top of the fence.

Nadin and his family were shown the cell phone video a few days ago by a Daily News reporter.  Nadin said, "I was trying to escape and to get away from them.  For the first two days, some parts of my body still hurt, but after that, I just got mad every time I thought about it."

As bad as this sounds....there is a happy ending.  After the story was picked up by local media and later, ABC NEWS, Nadin and his family appeared on "The View".

Nadin told the ladies, "I was scared for my life.  I thought the gate was going to poke my body. I thought I was going to hurt my neck or something."

When asked why he wanted to share his story, Nadin told the ladies he wanted to offer encouragement to other kids who are being bullied around the country.

At the end of the interview, Nadin was surprised by Philadelphia Eagles DeSean Jackson, Todd Herremans, and Jamaal Jackson, who all rearranged their schedules to make a special presentation Nadin.
