Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:25 AM PDT

Nicki Minaj rolled her Pink Friday Reloaded tour into Atlanta last night.  And she made sure to bring out ATL's finest to hit the stage with her.  Pics of Monica, T.I., Scrappy & Buckeey and more hitting up the concert, plus Frank Ocean also rocking the stage in ATL last night, inside....

Backstage and on stage at Nicki Minaj's show in Atlanta last night, the Barb painted the Fox Theater pink as she brought out her celeb friends.

Twitter was packed with pics of Ms. Minaj chillin' with Monica, Tiny, T.I., Waka Flocka, Jeezy, her opener 2 Chainz and more.

Monica hit the stage to surprise the audience.

And so did T.I.

Nicki kept up the theatrics with Waka Flocka (she used to be managed by his mom Deb Antney) and SB.

Monica, who performed "Why I Love You So Much," tweeted: "@NICKIMINAJ’s words to me as she brought me on stage tonight brought tears to my eyes!! Thank U Nicki”

And Nicki tweeted her Thank You afterwards saying: “Wanna thank: 2chainz, Jeezy, Scrappy, Monica, Bobby V, Waka, T.I. And Chukee. Unbelievable. So grateful. WOW”

And outside the concert:

The Harrises made an exit.  Those shoes Tiny...

Monica and her hubby Shannon brown snapped some pics.

And lookey lookey.  Scrappy brought his "best friend"--which we've come to learn means booty buddy--Buckeey to the concert.  In her basic best.

 

Elsewhere in Atanta last night, Frank Ocean sloated his Channel Orange tour to the Center Stage Theater:

And his uber proud mom Katonya and little brother came out to support.  Moms gushed:

Me and my talented one after Atlanta show!!! Great show too!!!

Sweet! 

Frank put on a hot show with rave reviews.  Next stop for the talented crooner: Terminal 5 in NYC Thursday night.  Check out a few vids from Sunday night's ATL stop below:

 

"Forrest Gump"

"Sweet Life"

EXTRAS:

1.  "Alleged" Aurora theater shooter James Holmes faced the judge today in his first court appearance.  He literally dozed off several times and slept in the judges' face, looking completely out of it the entire time.  Talking heads suspect he's going for an insanity plea.  STORY

MUSIC FAB: Rita Ora's New "Roc The Life" Single + Future Ft. Diddy & Ludacris "Same Damn Time (Remix)" Video

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 07:41 AM PDT

Roc Nation's newest blonde, Rita Ora, just dropped the studio version of her track "Roc The Life."  Must be a requirement for every Roc Nation artist to have a "Roc" track.  Check it inside, plus Future's brand new video for his hood anthem "Same Damn Time (Remix) ft. Diddy & Luda....

 

British import Rita Ora is gearing up for the release of her debut studio album, Ora (8/27 in the UK).  And here's the studio version of her "Roc The Life" track she just released.  The Dream is featured on the vocals and, of course, he co-wrote the single as well.  You feelin' it?

 

 

In case you've been waiting on the visuals for Future's "Same Damn Time," you can stop twiddling your thumbs now.  Check out the remix video featuring Diddy and Ludacris.  Apparently, multi-tasking requires a song these days.

In the vid, the fellas are rapping, waving their stacks of cash, dissing other lame rappers & flossing their jewels....at the same damn time.

Common Is Facing FORECLOSURE?! + Keenan Ivory Wayans' Ex Readying for New Season Of "Hollywood Exes"

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 07:10 AM PDT

Common may have some money problems on his hands.  Word has it his Chi-town apartment is facing foreclosure.  Deets inside, plus the who the newest "Hollywood Ex" cast member will be on season 2...

Rapper Common is having some mortgage issues back home in Chicago.  According to legal docs, back in 2008, Mr. Lonnie Lynn and his manager secured a mortgage through Bank of America.  But starting March 2012, the two stopped making the $2285/month payments.

BOA has filed for foreclosure as they want to take back the apartment and sell it to recoup their cash.  Looks like these upcoming concert dates Common has will be coming in handy....

 

In other news, if VH1's "Hollywood Exes" gets renewed, they've already got a new cast member on deck.  Daphne Wayans , ex-wife of veteran actor/director Keenan Ivory Wayans, is reportedly ready to join the cast and tell her story.  She's pictured above, pregnant with one of their 5 kids, at the Nutty Professor II premiere back in 2000.

The two were married for 4 years (until their divorce in 2004).  So we're sure she has some tales to tell.  Daphne has already been pictured out and about with the current cast of Nicole Murphy, Andrea Kelly and the exes of Prince & Jose Conseco.  And reportedly, she's just waiting on the network to greenlight season 2. 

Keenan dated blondie Brittany Daniel (Kelly Pitts on "The Game") for years, but was rumored to have broken it off this past year.  So this ought to be interesting.... 

Tia & Tamera Mowry, Zoe Saldana, Jordin Sparks, Meagan Good & More GET FAB For The 2012 Teen Choice Awards

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 05:11 AM PDT

Last night, the fabulous Hollywood crowd hit the pink carpet at the Gibson Theater for the FOX 2012 Teen Choice Awards.  And we've got the pics of some of our fave YBF folks who made appearances.

 

Pics inside....

Stars of "Tia & Tamera", Tia Mowry Hardrict & Tamera Mowry Housley, flaunted their sisterly fabulousness as they hit the carpet in figure hugging colorful looks.  And we can't help but gush over how cute Tamera looks pregnant!

The actress was in full on glow-mode as the mommy-to-be hit the carpet in a black & white printed knee length fitted frock, with her protruding belly and pink shoes to cap it off.  Perfect earrings for this look too. 

Her sister Tia braved the warm temps in this nice Chagoury Couture canary long sleeved lace pencil skirt dress and hot nude pumps.  The new mom is back to her pre-baby bod too.  Looking gorge!

Tia & Tamera's little brother, Tahj Mowry, also hit the carpet.  He's starring in ABC Family's new sitcom "Baby Daddy."

Meagan Good made a snakeskin arrival in a two-piece look of high waisted wide leg pants and a cropped top.

The gorgeous newlywed brought her little sister Lexus along.  Glad to see her mixing up her wardrobe more these days.

Zoe Saldana was there to present an award alongside Twilight star Taylor Lautner.

And the Colombiana actress rocked a summery two-piece crop top and full skirt look from Jonathan Saunders Pre-Fall 2012 collection.  Back in the press room, she flaunted her Tiffany & Co. gold hoops and satin aqua Christian Louboutin bow embellished sandals for her complete look:

Cute!

Also in the press room:

Actress/singer Kat Graham snapped a pic with the Surfboard (the Award) as she accepted as part of "The Vampire Diaries" cast who won for Choice Fantasy/Sci-Fi show.

And the YBF chick rocked a different equally cute look for the red carpet.

wil.i.am and actor Tyler James Williams, who just starred in the Disney Channel original movie Let It Shine, hit the carpet.

And pretty gal Jordin Sparks made her way to the event as she was a presenter for the evening.

She hit the stage, changing into a yellow pleated tent dress, with actors Adam Rodriguez and Paul Wesley.  Both her black mini red carpet look and sunburst on-stage look were from Chagoury Couture.  She went without her boo Jason Derulo, but she complimented her yellow look with a bracelet he gave her.

And Flo Rida performed for the crowd.  His date was, of course, his new boo Melyssa Ford.

Fab times!

OH: Tyga & His Pregnant Stripper Girlfriend Blac Chyna SPOTTED At Six Flags

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 04:54 PM PDT

Well isn't this special?  "Rack City" rapper Tyga brought his King of Diamonds stripper girlfriend Blac Chyna to Six Flags yesterday.  And after a theme park-goer snapped some pics of the twosome together...the rumors of Blac Chyna supposedly being pregnant, became truth.

 

Pics of the baby bump inside...

YMCMB rapper Tyga is about to be a daddy.  The 22-year-old Compton native is about to have to grow up fast.  Because his girlfriend, Miami's King of Diamonds (former?) stripper Blac Chyna, who he met on the set of his "Rack City" video, is pregnant.

There were rumors that the "Faded' rapper knocked up his boo, but now there's picture proof.  Chick's belly was on full display as they were spotted making their way around Six Flags yesterday.

And Chyna posted the above pic on her Instagram and website saying that blondes indeed have more fun.  I'm sure they do.  Chick is officially in her own rack city for the next 18 years.  And she won't even have to put another leg on that pole...

Congrats!
