"BBW LA" star Draya Michele celebrated her birthday a few days ago with some of her fave celeb friends like Chris Brown, Karrueche Tran, Tyga and Maybach O. See the pics inside.....
Draya Michele celebrated her birthday (we suspect she turned 25) earlier this week at a mansion up in the hills of L.A. with a group of her celebrity friends.
The Mint Swim designer and reality star spent the evening smoking from a portable hookah while wearing an almost completely sheer iCandy Couture Her Dress.
Chris Brown (in a Dobale Clothing Wrath of God T-Shirt), who used to date Draya once upon a time, was at the celebration.
And Chris's ex girlfriend and "The Kill" partner, Karrueche Tran also came out to celebrate with her good friend. She wore an Alexander Wang Draped Dress.
Rapper Tyga and Maybach O/Omarion toasted the petite and curvy birthday girl.
Tyga's baby mama Blac Chyna also enjoyed the festivities. Y'all know Draya loves the strippers.
Wale was there.
R&B singer Lloyd posed for a pic.
Her fellow "BBW LA" co-star Malaysia Pargo made an appearance.
Cute cake. Happy birthday Draya! Photos via Instagram |
| MUST BE NICE: Queen Latifah Illegally Parks Her Rolls Royce.....Just To Get Coffee Posted: 25 Jan 2013 08:44 AM PST
When you're super rich and famous, this is how you roll just to get coffee. Check out Queen Latifah out & about in Cali yesterday inside... Rapper/singer/actress Queen Latifah went make-up free (as usual) in her Louis Vuitton scarf and Jordans out in West Hollywood as she picked up some coffee and food on Melrose Place. She parked her $400,000 Rolls Royce Convertible...in front of a fire hydrant in a Red Zone. And since she's got millions in the bank, we doubt she cared about a ticket.
Gotta love her. Meanwhile, Queen will be a presenter at the NAACP Awards on February 1st and is working on her new talk show.

| 2 Chainz, Janelle Monae & More Set To Rock Out At COACHELLA 2013 Posted: 25 Jan 2013 07:57 AM PST
Coachella is the epitome of Festival Season. And the musical acts have just been announced for 2013. Check out who will be rocking the stage this spring inside... Rappers 2 Chainz, Pusha-T and Wu-Tang will be some of the only rap acts hitting the stage this April for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. Janelle Monae will also be headed to Indio, CA at the Empire Polo Grounds to rock the stage with her usual high energy performance. Coachella set an attendance record of 80,000-85,000 people last year, so for musicians to be seen on that stage is big ish. The event covers 2 weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21, with rock and indie bands taking over the stage. Last year, Snoop took the stage with a Hologram Tupac. We can only hope they'll be a return of somebody's Hologram this year. Check out the full lineup below:
BONUS: Like we previously reported, 2 Chainz will be making his acting debut on the CBS sitcom "2 Broke Girls" this season. Check out a pic of him on the set with the whole cast:
Loves this show.

Alicia's husband Swizz Beatz spoke about his wife (who raises millions for various charities) saying the philanthropist rarely takes time to celebrate her own accomplishments so he decided to dedicate today to her tweeting,
And in addition to writing her own music, Alicia (shown above in a hot black & white dress on the Jonathan Ross Show in London yesterday) has also moved into producing movies and doing motion picture soundtracks, most recently for The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete.

Jennifer Lopez has become the queen of exposed skin and mesh panels on the red carpet. The singer/actress hit the Las Vegas premiere of her new movie Parker, also starring Jason Statham. And her Kaufman Franco Spring 2013 dress turned every head in the building.

And the curvy chick brought her diamonds, sparkly black clutch, and her man Casper along as accessories:
So.... DO WE LOVE IT?!PICS: SPLASH/INF |

His wife, Simone and their four children also join the conversation. Watch Oprah's interview with LL Cool J on Sunday, January 27, at 9/8c. And in new music videos.... Since sometimes we like to check out a newbie....Capitol Records artist Jarvis has released a brand-new video for his debut single for Capitol Records, “Make A Little Room.” Shot in Los Angeles, the video was directed by Jon Augustavo and appears on his debut album, Cardiology (hitting shelves later this year). In September 2012, Jarvis released his mix-tape Heartache, which features collaborations with DJ Khaled, Waka Flocka Flame, and Lil Scrappy.

| Michelle Williams Rehearses For "FELA", ADDRESSES "Beyonce-Gate" On "GMA" Posted: 24 Jan 2013 02:22 PM PST
Michelle Williams is going back to the stage for a 16-city run of "FELA!" See pics from her rehearsal inside and find out what she shared about Beyonce-Gate and the alleged Destiny's Child SUPER BOWL reunion performance during a stop by "GMA."
Yesterday, Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams was spotted singing and dancing during rehearsals for the touring company of 'FELA!' at the Pearl Studios in New York City. She is playing the role of Sandra Isadore, who was Fela's African-American lover. Maija Garcia, the tour director and choreographer, spoke of Michelle's addition saying,
She'll be starring alongside Adesola Osakalumiin (who plays Fela Kuti) during the 16-city run. And she's not too busy to defend her girl Beyonce. During a recent promotional interview for the show, she stopped by "GMA" this morning where she was asked what she thought about Beyonce-Gate and the controversy surrounding her possible lip-syncing. She said,
But when it came to rumors about her reuniting with Destiny's Child at the Super Bowl, she wouldn't answer the question directly. “I wish that I could say it’s possible. I wish that I could say and I know that you all showed some ‘Fela!’ rehearsals so that’s what I’ve been doing and what I’ve been focusing on." She also addressed her personal bout with depression.
Michelle starts "Fela!" at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29, before stops through Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Nashville, Tenn and other locales. Photos via Walter McBride/INFphoto.com |
| NEW COUPLE ALERT: Eva Marcille & Kevin "K-Mac" McCall! Posted: 24 Jan 2013 12:27 PM PST
Eva Marcille knows how to pick herself a fine one. The ex-fiancee of Lance Gross and ex-girlfriend of Flo-Rida has landed herself another hottie. We can exclusively confirm her new man is singer/rapper Kevin "K-Mac" McCall.....
He first caught our eye while appearing in Chris Brown's "Deuces" and "Strip" songs and videos. And now, 27-year-old "Naked" singer Kevin has nabbed 28-year-old former "Top Model" chick and "Girlfriend Confidential" star Eva Marcille. The hot looking twosome spent this past weekend together in Vegas partying at the GhostBar Dayclub at the Palms Hotel. We've learned the couple has been dating for two months. And they're not totally hiding it either.
They both Instagrammed pics from their recent dinner date. And had a few lovey dovey messages to go along with it. Cute! |

Move over "Hollywood Exes" the ex-wives, girlfriends and baby mamas of DMX, Funkmaster Flex, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Lamar Odom are ready for their close-up. Meet the ladies inside....
Last night in NYC, TLC hosted an intimate press screening of their new show "Starter Wives Confidential" at the INC Lounge in Times Square. Cast members Josie Harris (ex-fiance of Floyd Mayweather), Liza Morales (ex-girlfriend of Lamar Odom), Tashera Simmons (ex-wife of DMX), Monica Joseph-Taylor (ex-wife of Funkmaster Flex), Zakia Baum (ex-girlfriend of Maino), and Cheryl Caruso (ex-wife of Phil Caruso) spoke during the post-screening Q&A.
The panel was moderated by model/actress Liris Crosse.
After the viewing, Liris posed with Tashera who revealed that she has finally moved on: “I was 100% mother and wife. When I love, I love hard. [DMX] was great at what he did – which was cheating – but I’m happy as hell now. I’ve found someone very special in my life.” Damn!
Perhaps the most famous of the cast, Tashera will spend the season striving to get her life and finances on track while divorcing DMX, her childhood sweetheart. She is the mother of their four children.
Monica Joseph-Taylor is the owner of a blog called Mommy's Dirty Little Secret and the mother of Funkmaster Flex's two children. They are going through a divorce. Can't wait to hear that dirt since Flex likes to drop bombs on everyone else.
Liza Morales, in a leather ASOS skirt, is the former girlfriend of NBA Clippers star Lamar Odom and the mother of their three children. Though she never married Lamar, she was forced to watch his whirlwind marriage to Khloe Kardashian. She shared that she was a virgin when she hooked up with her baby daddy. “[Lamar] is the only man I’ve ever been with. I know the worth of my cookies.” Oh?
Josie Harris is the outspoken mother of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s three children. You may recall their relationship involved a few domestic disputes. But...they are still "talking." She said, “Actually, I went to see [Floyd Mayweather] last week.” Of course.
Zakia Baum, a Brooklyn-born-and-bred devout Christian woman (her words, not ours) shares a son with her ex, rapper Jermaine "Maino" Coleman. She said, “I’ve never done [Maino] dirty. So it’s time for me to tell my story.”
"Starter Wives Confidential" premieres Tuesday, January 29 at 9/8c on TLC. Against our better judgment, we'll be watching....

| FIRST LISTEN: Cassie's "All Gold, All Girls REMIX" Ft. Trina & Lola Monroe Posted: 24 Jan 2013 11:13 AM PST
We've got the first listen of Cassie's first official track off her upcoming mixtape RockaByeBaby. And the gorgeous model chick flipped Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything" to make her own "All Gold, All Girls" Remix." And she tapped rapstresses Trina & Lola Monroe to spit a few bars.
Check it inside... It's the ladies' turn to flip the much remixed "All Gold Everything". So Cassie copped the track for her own "All Girls, All Gold" song that will appear on her upcoming mixtape RockaByeBaby.
Cassie also gave us some insight into the process of her new projects. "I've been working on this Mixtape (RockaByeBaby) for a while now," The Bad Boy frontwoman tells TheYBF.com exclusively. "I wanted to give my supporters new music before my album. It was important for me to create it because I needed a moment to grow into being an artist as well as wanting to create something that my friends and I could listen to. I thought what better way to start that than by remixing my favorite records out right now. I've been currently working with Trinidad James on a few projects and we came up with an All Gold, All Girls remix featuring Trina and Lola Monroe." Cassie went on to reveal what we can expect from her new album and the mixtape saying, "The rest of the Mixtape includes other remixes but also a lot of brand new music from me featuring Rick Ross, Pusha T, French Montana, Jeremih & more. I'm really proud of this project as it is the first time I really feel in control of the music. It's a vibe. It's for the kids that appreciate music and I can't wait for everyone to hear it. On this "All Gold, All Girls Remix", The "King of Hearts" singer rocks the hook while Trina and Lola Monroe push out their own verses. Cass also sang a few verses of her own dishing about her posh life in Paris and beyond:
Popped a molly I'm dancin'.... Listen to Cassie's "All Gold, All Girls Remix" below. You feelin it? (Having isues? Listen HERE instead.) |
| Evelyn Lozada & Shaunie O'Neal Tape Season 5 Of "Basketball Wives" ..While Doing Some Shopping Posted: 24 Jan 2013 10:34 AM PST
"Basketball Wives" Season 5 taping is underway. And after half the cast got the axe at the end of last season, we know so far that besties Evelyn Lozada & Shaunie O'Neal are returning with a lot to say.
Pics of the fresh faced ladies filming while shopping inside... Out in L.A. yesterday, Evelyn showed off her new dark hair color for the "BBW" cameras while rocking a tight striped dress and wedged heels. The author and Latina mag fitness spokeswoman looks happier than ever while shopping it up with her boo Shuanie O'Neal. So whether the rumors are true that she and Chad have reconciled (she exclaimed on her Twitter today that they are not together), whatever's going on, it's working for her.
Shanuie, in a cute multicolored maxi dress, and Ev watched a dog on wheels spin by as they shopped on Robertson Blvd in L.A. yesterday while the cameras rolled.
The Ev & Shaunie twosome spoke a little while ago to VH1 about what to expect from Season 5:
And Evelyn also said what we already knew, she hangs out with Shaunie all the time, but only sees the other chicks when it's time to film.
Is anybody else wondering who the next Pics: Splash

There's been foolish twitter beef this week between "Love & Hip Hop " Season 3 star Erica Mena and Power 105.1 radio host Angela Yee, all stemming from Angela doing her job and asking fans what they thought abut Erica's new record. Now, Erica's taken Twitter to the streets and went up to Yee's JOB this morning to threaten her in person.
Check out what Angela Yee exclusively tells TheYBF.com about the incident...
The reality chick, model and wanna be singer Erica Mena decided to post up up outside the Power 105.1 headquarters in NYC while Angela did her morning show duties. Aside from the fact it is ARCTIC cold in NYC right now, especially at 6AM, Erica brought Angela some doughnuts...wrapped in insults. Erica posted the above pics showing herself decked out in football facepaint and sweats (and we wonder why she wasn't this prepared when she tried to fight Kimbella last season). And she issued a few threats and insulted Ange's business deal with Belvedere Vodka: E Money feeds the hungry! Your breakfast is waiting @angelayee ! #SponseredByCiroc Fuck Belvey Lmfao Apparently, Erica is harboring some anger about Angela asking, during the Twitter beef, how a person like Erica has a son in this world. So we spoke to Angela this morning right after the incident, and it sounds like Erica was possibly all talk. Yee tells TheYBF.com she doesn't even know Erica, and Erica definitely didn't say anything when Angela walked past her this morning :
Womp. Erica's still talking on Twitter saying: Dam This chick that shook she just ask power 105 to ban all #LoveandHiphop cast from the building! Smh think before you talk about some1 kid We're going up to people's jobs at 6am now over Twitter beef? Foolywang material.
