LAWSUITS FLYING: Model Now SUING Selita Ebanks For Breaking Her Nose During FIGHT Over Terrence J!

Posted: 24 Jul 2012 10:19 AM PDT

TheYBF.com broke the story last November about Model Liza Irizarry exposing Selita Ebanks for the broken nose Selita allegedly gave Liza got during a club fight in Miami.  And it was all over Terrence J.  Now Liza's ready to sue Selita.  Get the latest updates inside...

 

Last year, we broke the news about Telemundo model Liza Irizarry (pictured at top with Terrence) getting into a scuffle with Selita Ebanks AND a few of Selita's friends after Liza innocently kissed Terrence J on the cheek.  Apparently, Selita felt threatened by Liza kissing her man.

Well now......Liza is suing for her injuries which including a broken nose.  We posted exclusive pics of the injuries previously.

Speaking of the incident, Liza said, “I was in so much pain.  My pillow was covered in blood.”  She broke down the fight saying, "When she saw me, she said, ‘Don’t be kissing my man,’   I said to myself, ‘So what, that’s my friend.’ That’s when she hit me on the nose. I went to swing back — that’s when all her friends jumped in. I felt hair pulling and fists coming at me.”

Liza returned to NYC (she's from the Bronx) with a complex nasal fracture and nasal obstruction that required surgery.

“I’m so angry, because she thinks she can get away with anything. You shouldn’t be allowed to put your hands on anyone for no reason. Me saying hello to someone doesn’t give you the right to hit me.”

Her lawsuit will be filed for assault and battery in Hudson County Superior Court, which also happens to be near Selita's’ New Jersey home.

Kimberly Elise will be taking over the small screen in a new scripted series called "Bounce." And it just got picked up by VH1.  Deets on the new show inside....

 

We told you earlier about actress Kimberly Elise shooting a pilot for an hour long scripted series....and now the show has a home at VH1.  The show, "Bounce", will star Kimberly along with Dean Cain,  Charlotte Ross, newcomer Taylour Paige and Logan Browning has. 

Created and written by James LaRosa, "Bounce" will follow the lives and loves of the Los Angeles Devil Girls, the dance team for the No.1 professional basketball team in the country. Kimberly plays the mother of one of the girls in the Sanaa Hamri-directed pilot.

“Bounce has all the elements we know VH1 viewers love; a world very much on the pop culture radar, an incredible cast and compelling, addictive storytelling,” said Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming and Production. “We wanted to create a scripted series at VH1 in which music is a strong narrative force, and we have found that with Bounce.

Will you be watching?  And did Royce Reed audition now that she's OUT at "Basketball Wives"....and has "experience" in that field?

The Randomness:

RUMOR CONTROL: No Break Up Here--Karrueche Spotted Shopping In Cannes After Arriving With Chris Brown

Posted: 24 Jul 2012 08:56 AM PDT

With the rumor mill turning yesterday with unverified reports that Chris Brown "dumped" girlfriend Karrueche before taking off to Cannes--to ALLEGEDLY be with Rihanna while working on a video--the proof is in the pics that the rumors are likely untrue.

 

Karrueche actually jetted to Cannes with Chris--and she was spotted out and about yesterday after their arrival.  Pics inside...

Hold your horses.  Looks like there's no break up afterall.  Not that we believed it in the first place--but reports about a breakup on the net yesterday spread like wildfire.  Other sites reported that Chris was in Cannes likely to chill with Rihanna, as the pop star chick tweeted yesterday afternoon that she had just arrived in Cannes from St. Tropez.

Kae's still in the picture--and right by her man's side.  She was spotted hitting the shops in Cannes with Breezy's bodyguard while Chris shot Swizz Beatz's music video in the French Riviera city alongside Ludacris and Lewis Hamilton.

As Cannes turns....

LAPD Called To Jackson Compound To BREAK UP Fight - Were Janet And Jermaine SQUARING OFF?

Posted: 24 Jul 2012 08:13 AM PDT

Yesterday the LAPD were called to the Jackson compound to help settle a huge fight.....and Janet and Jermaine Jackson were seen having a tense conversation right after. Deets inside.....

Om Monday, LAPD responded to a disturbance at the Jackson family compound for an "alleged battery" incident. The police didn't reveal who was involved but within the hour, Janet and Jermaine were snapped by TMZ having an intense conversation. Sources are reporting that one family member accused another of a physical assault (it is unclear if Janet or Jermaine were involved).

Things have been tense for the family since Janet and Jermaine where among the siblings demanding the Executors of Michael Jackson's Estate step down.

Also, a photo has emerged of Mrs. Jackson with Rebbie's kids playing UNO in Arizona.   So......Mrs. Jackson doesn't appear to be "missing". 

We are confused though on why Paris and the kids seemed to not be told or made aware that Mrs. Jackson was taken to Arizona.  

And as of this morning, the executers of MJ's estate are rushing to get guardianship of Paris, Blanket & Prince:

The executors of Michael Jackson's estate will go to court to seek an emergency guardianship of Michael's 3 kids ... alleging that Katherine has been effectively kidnapped by Michael's siblings and as a result his kids are in danger and without supervision.

Sources very familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the executors feel responsible for protecting the kids ... since the kids are the primary beneficiaries of their father's estate.

Something's fishy.  Hope they work out their family issues soon.

Hey Jennifer Lopez! It's Your 43rd BIRTHDAY!

Posted: 24 Jul 2012 06:50 AM PDT

Jennifer Lopez turns 43 today.  Celebrate inside..........

 

Though her career had hit a slump, after a stint on "American Idol", Jennifer Lopez got back on the block (in Hollywood) cutting deals and taking names.  It hard to imagine that the chick with the killers abs and (much) younger boyfriend is 43. 

She makes that number look good.

Celebrate with fab chick Jenny in the gallery.......

Chris Brown Rolls Into Cannes With Swizz Beatz & Ludacris For Video Shoot + Rihanna Takes Her Vacay To CANNES Too!

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 04:34 PM PDT

Chris Brown hopped a private jet to the French Riviera yesterday with Ludacris and Swizz Beatz to shoot Swizzy's music video.  And the fellas are giving us a sneak peek into their Cannes life.  Interestingly, Rihanna rolled into Cannes today too.

 

Pics inside....

It looks like a major shoot is going on in Cannes.  Breezy & Swizzy hopped on a private jet with Ludacris yesterday to fly into the luxe city.  And Chris & Swizzy just tweeted a pic with Hall of Famer Magic Johnson today for their millions of fans.

All three of the fellas' stylist, Mike B., tweeted a pic of the clothes, shoes & accessories for Swizzy's music video shoot.

 

The rumor mill went into overdrive yesterday when Breezy tweeted a pic of him landing on a boat with a helicopter in St. Tropez...the same place Rihanna's yacht was docked.  And while it's doubtful the two are on the same boat, the fact Rihanna was also kicking it with Magic the other day on her boat, shows they're all in the same vicinity.

 

The "We Found Love" singer was spotted hitting up a few stores with her girls in St. Tropez this morning before her boat headed out to Cannes:

Loves this look.

Fun times.

 

By the way, here's the official trailer for Oprah's upcoming sit down with Rihanna.  It was filmed in Barbados--likely when Rih headed back home for her grandmother's funeral.  It airs August 19th, 9p/8c on OWN.

WORK: Mariah Is The Newest "American Idol" Judge!

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 02:29 PM PDT

Mariah Carey will indeed be the newest face to hit the "American Idol" judges' table.  It was confirmed by FOX network exec Kevin Reilly this morning at the TCA presentation.  Deets inside...

"Idol" is making big moves.  $17 $18 mill moves to be exact.  The deal is final and Mariah is the newest judge to fill the vacancy of Jennifer Lopez & Steven Tyler.  If the rumors of her waiting for a $17 mill payout are true, chick just got her wish.
 

She tweeted: "It's gonna be so much fun working on @AmericanIdol. As a singer-songwriter, I'm excited to help find and nurture new talent. LYM!"

At FOX's TCA presentation today, MiMi called in to tell the room thank you:

"Thank you! Yay! I'm so excited to be joining Idol," said Carey on the phone. "First of all, I wanted to be there today and I wish I could have been there today to tell you, but this just happened real quickly. I can't wait to get started in a couple months. Everybody have a great TCA and I will see you in January!"

In an official press release sent to Hollywood.com by Carey's rep, the musician adds:

"As a singer, songwriter and producer, it’s going to be fun and rewarding to help find new talent and give back with American Idol. I’m currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, ‘Triumphant,’ which will be out early next month. I can’t wait to channel my creative energy as a part of this show which is a massive global phenomenon."

Haven't been an "Idol" fan since season 1.  But I will indeed be tuning in.  And I want a true dramatic ass diva arrival by Mrs. Carey Cannon--which includes being carried to the judges' table, on a bed, surrounded by butterflies.  Let's get to it....

Solange Knowles was in a striped state of mind yesterday as she hit up a midtown Manhattan recording studio to pay a visit to her sis Beyonce.  The Dream and a few other producers have already (coyly) confirmed Bey is working on new music.  And this little visit confirms it further:

Rocking her long broads and a striped frock with a denim vest, Solange and her striped purse made her way to the recording studio to see what her sis was up to.

Solo also spent part of her weekend on the beach with her friends.  Loves her free vibe.  By the way, she tweeted today she's leaving Instagram.  And you'll have to visit her blog for her journeys....

 

Down in Miami, Vanessa Simmons debuted her Rose by Vanessa Jean clothing line for Miami Fashion Week:

Her show was held in the penthouse of the Raleigh Hotel.  And, of course, her little sis Angela was front and center offering up support for her showcase:

Both ladies snapped pics with radio personality Felisha Monet.

Definitely an interesting line.  You buying what Vanessa's selling?
