| Fabolous Rains $30,000 In The Strip Club...With A New Jumpoff? Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:08 AM PDT
How do you get over a "break-up" with your baby moms? Hit the club and drop 30 G's on the crowd.....WITH your new jumpoff. The cameras spotted Fabolous partying it up with bottles and stacks in his hands. And we also learned he was all over this new blonde chick.
Pics inside....
So Fabolous moved on from his baby moms Emily B. with a new chick and stacks of cash for the strippers last night. He hit Club Perfection strip club in Queens last night for an "all-white" affair with his homies DJ Envy and Red Cafe. And he took "all-white" literally. We're told by camera men on the scene that Fab had the chick you see in the above pics on him all night. And he was def there with her and acting like this is his chick of the moment. No we can't confirm anything...even if it's just a sex thing...is going down. We're just relaying what we're told. Don't want to call it a downgrade but...
The fellas drank it up all night and threw stacks of singles on the strippers. $30,000 worth of cash that is.
Oh.....
And if you ever wondered what a rapper dropping serious cash in the strip club looks like.... Alrighty then. Pics via AllEyesOnWho.com |

AJ & DJ D-Nice snapped pics with the birthday boy.
DJ's M.O.S. & Kiss showed love.
And so did Q-Tip, Russell Simmons and Grandmaster Flash. New Edition hit the stage:
Good to see the fellas getting back to doing what they do.
Something is really off about Shontelle these days....
Hey Doug E.!
Cassidy had some stage time with his homie Swizz Beatz.
And kicked it off stage with Tyson Beckford. Now how did Carmelo actually pull off pink pants?
The ladies hit the carpet as well:
Jaslene, Wynter Gordon, Adrienne Bailon and Julissa Bermudez were all there.
And so was Egypt. Fun times. Photog: Nunez |

Such a cute dress.

| NFL Baller Roy E. Williams Demands $76,000 Engagement Ring Back After Proposal Was Rejected Posted: 06 Jul 2011 03:44 PM PDT
Dallas Cowboys baller Roy E. Williams fell head over heels for former Miss Texas USA Brooke Daniels, but after she rejected his proposal, he asked for his $76,000 ring back. Get the nutty deets inside....
In a recent court filling, Dallas baller Roy Williams Jr. asked for the return of a $76,600 engagement ring he sent to pagent queen Brooke Daniels....in the mail. yes, he proposed to her by sending her an engagement ring IN THE DAMN MAIL. In addition to the ring, Roy claims he also sent $5,000 for school and dental bills, a baseball for Daniels’ brother and a recorded marriage proposal with the ring through the mail just before Valentine’s Day. But Brooke didn't accept the proposal....and she kept the ring! So after the rejection, Roy asked for the ring back but surprise, Brooke said she "lost" it. WOMP. Then an investigation, launched by Roy's insurance company, located the ring. And it was with Brooke's dad, Michael Daniels. It gets a little tricky though. Michael Daniels claims that he has documentation that Roy told Brooke to keep the ring....but he will return it to avoid a lawsuit. Ummmm.....I'd like to know how he got the ring if Brooke "lost" it. But whatevs... FYI: This is not the same Roy Williams who Kelly Rowland was engaged to. This story involves wide receiver Roy Eugene Williams. Kelly's ex-fiance is Roy Lee Williams, who now plays Safety for the Cincinatti Bengals.

We've finally recovered from the non-stop action of Essence Fest 2011. TheYBF.com was on the scene from start to finish in New Orleans, so we've got exclusive interviews, pics, and footage of the performers from the weekend. Plus funny chit chats with NeNe Leakes, Usher, New Edition, & "True Blood's" Nelsan Ellis.
We already brought you tons of coverage throughout the whole weekend. But we've got more. Check out how celebs spent their 4th of July weekend inside....
Sponsors Proctor & Gamble, Verizon, McDonald's, My Black Is Beautiful, and Coca-Cola whipped together a non-stop list of celeb events every day before the big concerts at night. YBF was in the mix of it all, plus we grabbed chit chats with Usher, New Edition, NeNe Leakes, Nelsan Ellis, and more throughout the weekend. Peep the video above for the quickest run-down of one of the biggest weekends in music.
We were on hand for the Coca Cola "Old School Night" party with LisaRaye and Hosea Chanchez:
This shirt Hosea....
Speaking of Ms. McCoy. She rocked pretty much the same look every night. Still lookin' pretty though.
Mary J. & her organization FFAWN donated a check for $40,000 to kids at the McDonald's 365 Black Awards--where she was the recipient of an award herself.
Chef Garvin made nice with the ladies, including PR guru Sheila Eldridge, at the Coca-Cola Breakfast.

Mathew Knowles showed off his Tri-ni-tee 5:7 gals back in the press room.
And MC Lyte, Jennifer Hudson and New Edition also chatted with the press. Macy Gray was in the mix enjoying the performances when she wasn't performing herself.
Sighs. Yes--we had to keep our composure with Derek J in person. Lance Gross and Rocsi mixed it up back in the VIP Belvedere Lounge.
And Bryan Michael Cox and Anthony Hamilton were spotted kickin' it backstage too.
Our YBF correspondents Kalia Silva and James Turner kicked it with Chef Garvin & LeToya Luckett:

Ledisi tweeted about meeting her idol Patti Labelle.
And going nuts over meeting Chaka Khan, Mary, and Trina Braxton.
New vs. Old. But no beef here--BET host/former host Free and Rocsi were seen spending some time together throughout the weekend.
And Rocsi spent time with her hometown friends like Juggie of N.O.
LeToya Luckett tweeted about stopping by the Carol's Daughter store.
Steve Harvey--who served as MC one of the nights--tweeted a pic of him and Marjorie enjoying the last night of concerts.

Some of your favorite celebs have been sending Twitpics and giving us an inside glimpse into their everyday real lives. We've got the roundup for you inside..... Ashanti (@ashanti) and Lil' Wayne posed for a pic while in the studio working on her 5th album. Wonder what that's gonna sound like.
Today, President Obama conducted his first Twitter Town Hall where he answered q's of the Twitter word. He's the first Prez to do so (of course). And Rocsi from "106 & Park" is there as part of the media--and shared this pc.
Trina (@trinarockstarr) planking in the middle of a store on an escalator. The funniest part of this is that NONE of the random people around her are looking at her crazy. As if this type of ish happens everyday.
Tyga tweeted this photo. #MaybachPlankin #Kingshit
Boris Kodjoe showed off how he spent his 4th of July Holiday. Holly Robinson Peete hosted a party at her house with co-host Leah Remni, Nicole Kodjoe, and others in attendance. And Leah snapped a pic of Boris "putting his dirty feet up on Holly's ottoman."
Joe Budden (@joebudden) took this pic while out driving. #RoadTripPajamaSwag

Along with Diggy Simmons (@diggy_simmons) and Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) were caught planking.
Miguel (@migmoney) said "My fans are getting hotter."

Evelyn Lozado tweeted this pic of a pretty maxi dress saying, "On my way to do interviews. Hair by @AnthonyCherry. LOVE IT"
And Coco tweeted her new bikini (@cocosworld). She said she loves her micro string and camo. Yes, clearly.
And Amber Rose (@darealamberrose) planked in a limo recently. |
| Michelle Williams Makes A Comeback With "Love Gun"+Tristan Wilds Gets NEKKID For COSMO UK Posted: 06 Jul 2011 12:13 PM PDT
Michelle Williams is making a comeback. And she's going the dance/pop route this time around. We've got the former Destiny's Child chick's brand new track "Love Gun" inside. Plus, a look at "90210"'s Tristan Wilds like you've never seen him...
Michelle is singing about being shot down by love with her new buzz single, "Love Gun," produced by up and coming producer Druski. The YBF chick has been working hard on her upcoming 4th studio album. The track may sound like an extension of her #1 dance album 3 years ago, Unexpected. Michelle describes the sound of the album as "Inspirational Pop" saying: "Think of Katy Perry's 'Fireworks' or Natasha Beddingfeld's 'Unwritten'. Music with a message but at the same time fun and will get people dancing." Her new yet-to-be-titled album is expected to drop in the fall, along with an official single release in August/September.
In other news, "90210" and former "The Wire" actor Tristan Wilds, is showing us a while other side to him. He's always been a cutie in our eyes. But now, he's decided to drop the clothes and hop in bed with a model for the centerfold of Cosmopolitan UK mag's August 2011 issue. He's also readying to drop an album and has a new movie, Red Tails, coming out January 2012. Well.... |
| UPDATE: Gucci Mane Gets Sprung From Jail? + Jay-Z's 40/40 London Details Posted: 06 Jul 2011 10:53 AM PDT
Gucci Mane has been released from prison and he vowed not to go back. Get the deets inside and find out about Jay-Z's new restaurant... Gucci Mane got out of jail yesterday after serving three months for a probation violation. After release, he called into DJ Drama's show and said he doesn't ever want to go back to jail. So what did he do on his first night of freedom? He partied at Club Onyz in the ATL. SMH...... Here we go again. UPDATE: A rep from Fulton County Jail confirms that Gucci Mane (real name, Radric Davis) is still in custody and in fact there is a hold by the Georgia Department of Corrections that orders Gucci to be sent to a state prison upon his release from Fulton. So.....when he does get out of county, Gucci will be sent to Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Georgia after he is released from Fulton County Jail.
And in London.......
The NVA Entertainment Group has announced that Jay-Z and Chelsea soccer player Ashley Cole are opening a branch of the 40/40 clubs in London that will give jobs primarily to long-term, unemployed youth. Asked about the venture, Jay-Z said,
Nice to see Jay-Z using his business to provide opportunities to the youth. |
