| TWEETS ARE WATCHING: Nene Leakes Responds AGAIN About ALLEGED "Enemy" Wedding Planner Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:06 AM PDT
Nene Leakes has taken to Twitter (again) to air out her feelings about women with poor business skills. And we suspect she's lashing out at her "alleged" wedding planner and the million dollar lawsuit that's hanging over her head. Especially since promo for her upcoming wedding reality show is now in full throttle. Get the latest from both ladies on their legal war inside...
Famed "RHOA" star Nene Leakes is gearing up for her new-Bravo spinoff series "I Dream Of Nene: The Wedding" (Sept. 17th, at 9 p.m. EST) and some of the wedding drama has spilled into social media (and into the legal system). We told you earlier about Nene's alleged" wedding planner, Tiffany Cook, suing her $2.5 Million. And now, both women are speaking out about the drama. Over on Twitter, Nene has been tweeting about "women" with "no business sense". It's not the first time that the outpoken reality star has addressed some shady business dealings on her timeline, and thanks to the Bravo promo of her new show, we see that Tiffany and Nene will surely share some awkward moments.
For her part, Tiffany spoke to Rolling Out about the lawsuit where she claims Nene has destroyed her reputation and is affecting her business. She told the mag,
It turns out, Tiffany was referred to Nene by fellow "RHOA" castmate Porsha Williams Stewart (but clearly this didn't end well). Tiffany claims she had a signed contract with Nene and didn't know she had been "fired" until Nene and her camp completely shut her out. And to add insult to injury, the wedding planner Nene hired (Tony Conway/A Legendary Event) was a vendor that Tiffany had brought in to do the flowers! Messy. But that will be good tv! We'll be watching this play out......
In case you missed it, watch Nene and Tiffany square off in the promo.....

| Tamar Braxton Rocks "GMA", Calls Logan "The Love Of My Life" Posted: 03 Sep 2013 08:17 AM PDT
Tamar Braxton brought her Hot Sugar to "Good Morning America" this AM. Check out how the fab mom promoted her brand new album (in stores today) Love & War... 36-year-old reality star & singer Tamar Braxton is on full out promo mode as her much awaited studio album drops today. So she rolled into "GMA" today with her mom Evelyn & pops Michael flaunting her fab post baby bod.
She rocked a flirty black skirt and white tank while dong a short interview with Robin Roberts. After a few new mommy issues in the beginning, Tamar said parenthood is now "going great." She gushed, "Logan is the love of my life. He's a great kid and he sleeps all night." About the theme of the album, she told Robin:
Check out the interview below and Tamar belting out her singles "The One" and "All The Way Home":
"Tamar & Vince" season 2 premieres September 5th on WeTV, and stay on the lookout for the couple's relationship book. That should be interesting...

| Raven Symone & Girlfriend AzMarie Livingston Get BOO'D UP During LudaDay Weekend Posted: 03 Sep 2013 07:25 AM PDT
Raven Symone has no qualms about showing off her boo...at least not anymore. Because she spent all weekend in Atlanta for LudaDay Weekend (where Gay Pride weekend was simultaneously taking place) on display with her girlfriend. Peep the pics inside... The former "Top Model" contestant who Raven began dating years ago....seems to still be front and center in her life. This weekend, the child actress turned fab young lady was spotted holding hands, canoodling and snapping pics with her boo thang AzMarie Livingston. The hit up Ludacris' White Party at Compound Saturday night:
And held hands while walking through the club. You already know Tristan Wilds (standing next to them) was asking himself when did THIS happen.
Raven kept it modest in a white embroidered dress and cute heels.
And she posted her own cute pics on IG, one of which is with her boo.
And the two also hit up a few other events during the weekend and Monday. Fun times.
The Randomness: 1. Dennis Rodman clearly didn't learn his lesson the first time. He just arrived into North Korea to hang out once again with "friend" Kim Jong Un, the country's infamous leader. STORY

We'll let you know where you can watch it (as soon as it's picked up by a network). Also, her Michelle's third gospel album, Journey To Freedom, is due January 21, 2014. Watch the clip above.....

Rapper Kanye West banked about $3 million to perform at a wedding this weekend. See a performance clip inside and get deets behind Azealia Banks lashing out at Lady Gaga on Twitter for copying her style....
While you're chillin' on "Labor Day", Kanye West "labored" in Kazakhstan to the tune of $3 million bucks. According to TMZ, the "New Slaves" rapper was invited by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to perform at his grandson's wedding Saturday night in Almaty at the Hotel Royal Tulip. Several twitpics and an Instagram clip of Kanye's show, which included "Can't Tell Me Nothing", have been making the rounds on social media since the posh reception. We're not made at 'Ye. It's going to cost a ton of money to protect Kim and North West from the paparazzi of the world. And for three million dollars, we would have HAPPILY worked all Labor Day weekend too. Watch Kanye in action here:
In other music news......
For those unfamiliar with Azealia Banks and her style of music, it's called "seapunk". What is seapunk? Wikipedia describes it as " 90s house and techno, the past 15 years or so of pop and R&B, and the latest in southern trap rap". But, whatevs. If that doesn't make sense to you.....it will...very soon. Seapunk is about to go "pop" as Lady Gaga has recorded a new song called "Ratchet" for her upcoming ARTPOP album.....and Azealia Banks is not pleased. Folks from the 90s should compare this moment to when Madonna "discovered" voguing? A little backstory...Azealia's "mermaid" imagery and her Fantasea mixtape are the essence of seapunk, but they've failed to catch the ears of mainstream. And with Interscope failing to release her debut album (despite high profile gigs at Glastonbury) it seems that the only person paying attention to Azealia is Lady Gaga. And that IS NOT a good thing for a struggling artist. Over on Twitter, Azealia as attacked Lady Gaga for stealing her "mermaid" swagger and also taking the "seapunk" thing and running with it.
And to add insult to injury, Azealia was tapped for Lady Gaga's "Ratchet" single a VERY long time ago, but you won't likely hear her voice on the final recording that makes it into the iTunes store. Again.....Azealia is not happy.
SMH......Azealia may be right about pop stars ripping off the "little" people, but it won't change the game. Over the weekend, Lady Gaga popped up in a sneak peek of the upcoming song "Ratchet" and doesn't seem to care about the Twitter rants of Azealia. Sadly, none of Lady Gaga's 40 million Twitter followers will care either. SIDEBAR: Azealia has close to 400K followers.
Watch the preview of "Ratchet" minus Azealia here:

Lil' Scrappy appeared on the radio over the weekend to shut down rumors that he was kicked off "LAHH ATL". He also explained the gas station beatdown and dropped his new single. Listen to the "NYEE" single and the interview inside...... Rapper Lil' Scrappy performed in Dallas, TX over the weekend. Before his show, he stopped by 97.9 The Beat Studio to dispel a huge rumor. What's the rumor? The streets were buzzing that Waka Flocka and Deb Antney were added to the cast of "LAHH ATL", and that Lil' Scappy was on his way out. Say it ain't so.......(we'd kinda miss Mama Dee and her delusional antics). Lil' Scrappy said he couldn't confirm or deny whether Waka or Deb would be on the show because casting deets aren't revealed to the cast. However, he did conform he would be returning. He told the audience, "I will be on tv again." He also explained that recent gas station beat down saying the dude was a "friend" of his, but had been saying slick ish all night. Scrappy says the tension had been building up for a while but didn't explode until the dude disrespected Bambi. He also dropped his single "NYEE". Listen to the clip above......

| YACHT GALS: Beyonce & Blue Float Into Ibiza! Posted: 02 Sep 2013 09:50 AM PDT
Beyonce Knowles jetted straight from the Made In America Festival yesterday right into Ibiza with her baby girl Blue Ivy. The annual yacht style Carter family trip is about to ensue...
It's break time for Bey and blue and Mrs. Carter flaunted those sexy gams in sky high heels while carrying her baby aboard a boat in Ibiza early today. That takes some skill.... And it looks like the Carters will be taking a break before Bey starts back at the Mrs. Carter World Tour in Latin America on the 8th. She hits Brazil first:
Cutie Blue rocked her onsie pajamas as they boarded. And it looks like she just woke up. Adorbs!

While Lamar Odom is nailing down an interesting choice of legal help to navigate his recent DUI situation, his wife Khloe is tweeting away as if nothing's wrong. And garnering sympathy votes.
Check out the latest update inside, plus Mr. & Mrs. Smith selling off their fabulous mansion.... Well isn't this slick. Lamar Odom has retained legal eagle Robert Shapiro as his lawyer for this DUI case. You may remember Mr. Shapiro as the late Robert Kardashian's (Kris Jenner's ex husband) partner in the OJ case. And he's also helped Kris in some legal matters of her own lately. So it's only right she puts her dirty hands all over this case to act like the clean up woman. It's reported that Lamar may plead no contest, which is standard in these cases. And he'll end up with probation. By the way, Shapiro also handled Rob, Jr.'s latest criminal battery and theft case. Khloe has taken to Twitter to continue posting selfies and ish as if nothing is going on with her husband or their marriage. But she did say yesterday:
Oh. And recently she wrote:
Well...
And in other couple's news, the Smiths appear to be unloading some hefty real estate. Fresh start...or something else? Who knows, but we do know this $42mill California estate they've reportedly put on the market was the couple's dream home and was featured in Architectural Digest. The near-Calabassas home is 25,000 sqft. It took them 7 years to build and they just moved intot he home in 2011. So why so quick to sell this amazingly gorgeous property? Real Estate Stalker also reports they sold off their Hawaiian home in Kauai too. Interesting...
The Randomness: 1. Tyrese says he takes good care of his kid and shouldn't have to pay more in child support like his baby mama is demanding....because he threw his 5-year-old daughter Shayla a 300-person birthday party. STORY 2. Sean Kingston was cancelled from performing at a University in Canada after his rape case was settled. STORY 3. For the third week in a row, The Butler takes #1 at the box office! STORY

LudaDay Weekend continued yesterday with a celebrity basketball game headed up by Ludacris and Usher with folks like Laura Govan, Shannon Brown, and Bobby V hitting the court. Get a courtside view of the action inside.....
Yesterday, some of your favorite YBFers hit the basketball court for the fun celebrity basketball game between Team Ludacris and Team Usher at Georgia State University Sports Arena.
The fellas chopped it up beforehand, but made sure to play it out hard on the court for charity. And Team Usher hooped their way to victory in the celeb-studded game that benefitted Luda's various charitable efforts for LudaDay Weekend.

Monica's hubby Shannon Brown was one of the pros on Luda's team.
Rapper Lil' Scrappy was there to support his girlfriend Bambi, who played for Usher's team.
It's a good thing her team won. We'd hate for him to have to "defend her honor" at another gas station nearby.
LeToya Luckett was on hand to support Luda. And looked hot as always.
She posed it up courtside with Toya.
And with Eudoxie. Cute.
Lifestyle specialist Kenny Burns posed with his sons.

We've got the full recap in pics and video from Day 2 of Bud's Made In America Festival. Check out Amber Rose cheering on her new hubby and snapping pics with Mrs. Carter, Solange rocking the stage, and Miguel doing what he does best....
After shutting down the stage Saturday night at Day 1 of Budweiser's Made In America Festival, Beyonce stayed in Philly to watch her little sis Solange rock out for the crowd on Sunday.
But the Carters were first spotted arriving with their baby girl Blue backstage. The twosome were spotted backstage having a cute sisterly chit chat after Solo arrived with brother-in-law Jay-Z and her man Alan:
Her son Julez was right there to watch moms too after taking in Calvin Harris.
And Jay, Beyonce, and Steve Stoute all watched the show from the VIP section.
Solange looked great on stage in a cute mixed print shirt and skirt.
And Solange got her semi-twerk session on right before she went into "Bad Girls": Meanwhile, Amber Rose was there...with an upside down cross on her head...to cheer on her husband Wiz Khalifa.
She snapped a pic with Bey backstage (check out this short vid of them chatting it up) and then took in the show from the side of the stage:
These ciggies... Wiz even brought her out on stage. How cute: And Miguel killed the stage as well doing what he does best:
Nice. And here's Kendrick Lamar's whole set from Sunday. It's worth it.

Stories of professional athletes pulling chicks on Twitter and Instagram aren't just urban legend. That ish happens. And when it does, everyone involved seems pleased as pie that it did.
Check out Detroit Pistons baller Andre Drummond living it up all weekend with his new Nickelodeon chick....
Yup, ballers do try to holla on IG. Case in point: Andre Drummond. We saw a while back that he made blondie "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy the object of his WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday). And no, we don't know why his grown man ass (well, he's 20) was watching "iCarly." But, she responded with a follow and he responded with flirty words and sending stuffed bears. And now, apparently, they've taken it all a step further and have hooked up in real life. All weekend, the two have been hitting Laser Tag with each other while having their friends join in, going to the movies, hitting Disneyland today, and just chillin' out like love birds:
And with lots of heart emoticons infiltrating his captions, he said about a pic of them together:
Words can't explain! Add your own caption..... We'd rather not. But congrats on your Instagram love....

So now that he's free from jail after his DUI arrest the other day, Lamar Odom was spotted the following day doing normal things. It was almost as if he wasn't just arrested and like his life isn't falling apart before our eyes (if you believe what all the "sources" are saying these days).
Check out his casual jaunt to Blockbuster and to grab dinner inside... One day after his DUI arrest, Lamar needed dinner and a movie to chill out, apparently. Paparazzi spotted him arriving to his Encino home in a taxi cab after leaving the jail house. Then, since his license has now been suspended for a year after he refused drug tests, he was spotted hopping into a chauffeured SUV to make his runs:
He headed to a Blockbuster for some movies after getting some takeout:
Who knew there were still Blockbusters around... And it looks like he will be watching these movies and eating this dinner solo dolo, because reportedly, Khloe still won't allow him to stay at their home due to his alleged drug habit. They chit chatted after his arrest, but he was soon shown the door. Especially since Khloe supposedly was never even called about the arrest and she had to find out online. The more we hear these leaked inside reports, the more this appears to be Kardashian/Jenner sources leaking it all. TMZ (of course) reports:
Well...
