In part 4 of TheYBF.com's Opening Weekend Exclusive Interview Series with the cast of Best Man Holiday, we chatted up the man behind it all. And we had to find out the reason behind the drastic changes in the sequel....and the crazy emotional roller coaster. Our interview with Director Malcolm D. Lee inside... He's having a blockbuster weekend at the box office with almost tying the #1 movie Thor, which is playing on almost twice as many theaters. So Malcolm D. Lee's (Scary Movie, Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins) vision for the sequel of his classic film, Best Man, is clearly a winner. But if you're wondering abut the drastic emotional roller coaster, those intense (and intensely funny) scenes, and the difficulties of making the film, we got to the bottom of it all with the director himself. Check out our sit down with Mr. Lee. YBF: The new plot of The Best Man Holiday will be a surprise to audiences. Tell us why you chose to take such a different direction with this sequel. MALCOLM: I didn’t want to repeat myself, 14 years later you can’t just tell the same old story. I wanted to do something that was more sophisticated, more complex because the circumstances dictate that. These characters may be the same people but they’ve changed, they’ve evolved over the years. What you think about when you’re a post graduate in your mid 20s is very different from what you think about in your late 30’s/early 40’s. When you’re an adult, you have adult things you have to do; kids and mortgages and car payments and the career struggles. So that was a reason to do it. YBF: When originally creating these characters, did you base them off a college click of your own or did you base them off people from your life or start them all from scratch? MALCOLM: I think it’s a combination of all those, there’s no one character that is one person that’s in my life or that I went to school with. I have the luxury of having a lot of different kinds of friends. Some clicks weren’t always the same as other clicks, and I got along with a great number of people. So I was able to bring a lot of diversity of character to these characters based on my relationships and my own imagination. YBF: The Best Man Holiday will definitely be another classic, what was your favorite part of making the movie? MALCOLM: Just getting the movie made in general, there are a lot of things that were great and challenging about the movie. Whenever all of the actors were together, that became much more of a challenging thing with all the dinner scenes and introducing everyone in that first scene when they all come in. It’s incredibly difficult because a lot of coverage has to be done.
YBF: Tell us about that! It was such a classic moment. MALCOLM: It was a great moment. It was very reminiscent of my experience at Georgetown University. We had contests like the lip-syncing contest that like that. It was a great way for the guys to dance for the ladies; they were really into it with the whole choreography of everything. It was awesome. Even shooting the football [scenes] was great. It was my first chance to show how I could tell a sports story. YBF: Did we see that you played a defensive back in the film? You posted a photo in a full on football uniform one day. MALCOLM: Yeah I did, I cut myself from the movie though. I had to, it didn’t make any sense. Well it made sense but it just wasn’t warranted. It will never be seen by anyone. YBF: What do you want audiences to take away from the film? MALCOLM: Be prepared for a fun relatable ride. Lots of laughs, lots of drama, lots of tears. It will be an emotional rollercoaster as people have been saying.
Best Man Holiday is in theaters now! Check out our previous interviews with the cast HERE.

| ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Kanye West DINES OUT With Kim Kardashian In Philly, RESURRECTS "Yeezus" Tour Posted: 17 Nov 2013 07:10 AM PST
Kanye West dined out with Kim Kardashian in Philadelphia last night following the return of the "Yeezus" tour. See their pics inside... And on the umpteenth day (of hiatus).......Yeezus arose. Following a few equipment setbacks, Kanye West rebooted, relaunched and resurrected the Yeezus tour last night with a stop in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center.
He and Kim Kardashsian dined at Serafina, following the show, and Kim was snapped strutting down the street in a fur that we're pretty sure wasn't faux! And we're just as sure she cares none about PETA. They were also seen arriving via private jet tot he city. Baby North wasn't seen accompanying her parents on their jaunt, but since Kanye and Kim had pleged to take the baby on the road with them, she very well could have gone earlier or later. For Yeezus fans, the rapper will debut the video for "Bound 2" on "ELLEN" this Tuesday (November 19th). BONUS: Last night, Lady Gaga joined Jay Pharoah for a HILARIOUS spoof of Kim and Kanye on SNL. ENJOY!
The Randomness: 1. Rapper YoYo's husband was shot in the leg at a Detroit nightclub last night. STORY

| K. Michelle: "That Massive Camel Toe Pic Is PHOTOSHOPPED!" Posted: 17 Nov 2013 06:34 AM PST K.Michelle was embroiled in a massive camel-toe treding topic last night on Twitter. So the singer's chimed in to clear up the alleged rumor. Check out the pic that stirred up some ish inside... So the pic above, namely the one on the left, started burning up Twitter late last night. It's K. Michelle performing at her Rebellious Soul tour stop in Chicago at The Shrine a few nights ago...with a ridiculously large camel toe. Why is this important? It isn't. But y'all know folks love to point out foolywang material. And a massive camel toe should always be addressed. For the health benefit of the one involved. With tweets like "Her vagina is singing backup" taking over twitter, "LAHH" star K.Michelle addressed the foolery saying it's photoshopped:
But, you be the judge. Here's a few professional pics that K's people sent out a few days ago (before this camel toe fiasco) as well as video:
The good news for K? She's been selling out plenty of tour dates. The Randomness: 1. The CIAA college football title game is cancelled after the QB of WInston-Salem was beat up....in a bathroom....by players from the opposing team from Virginia State University. STORY

| R.Kelly & Lady Gaga Do The Most For "SNL" Performance Of "Do What You Want" Posted: 16 Nov 2013 10:55 PM PST
So...R.Kelly popped up as a surprise guest Saturday night during Lady GaGa's hosting gig on "SNL". Check out their Team Too Much performance of "Do What You Want" inside... We don't expect any less really from a collabo between GaGa & the Kellz, so this performance may actually be on par with "normal".
Between all the pick-up-and-twirls, lay you out on the ground moves and more, R & GaGa performed their new collabo "Do What You Want" on SNL. Peep the video below in case you missed it:
The track serves as the second single off GaGa's new ARTPOP disc.

Note to actors: If Terrence Howard is ever your co-star, do not perform your lines exactly as written in the script....or else dude will indeed storm off the set! In part 3 of TheYBF.com's Opening Weekend Exclusive Interview Series with the entire cast of The Best Man Holiday, we had a pretty funny chit chat with the witty Mr. Howard and his spicy co-star, Melissa De Sousa.
Check it inside...
Oh yes. Quentin & Shelby....the twosome we've all been waiting to see 15 years later. Recently in L.A., we caught up with actors Terrence Howard & Melissa De Sousa to find out what to expect from their on sceen reunion, why Terrence's foolish activities pissed off the director and cast and more.
YBF: We are so excited for Quentin and Shelby’s return. Where did you think that Malcolm was going to take your characters 14 years later? MELISSA: I just knew she had to be bigger and badder! And he definitely went there. I call her Shelby 2.0. They call her Shelby 10.0. TERRENCE: I just wanted Quentin to be black this time. It’s been hard playing light skin all these years. There are people like Morris…I can play a black character, I’m black! [Laughter] MELISSA: I knew we [Quentin and I] would end up rolling around together again. I mean, we have to. MELISSA: NO, that didn’t happen. That was a script in his mind. [Laughter] YBF: You all were in Toronto shooting for how long? MELISSA: About three months. YBF: What was your favorite moment on set? TERRENCE: My Favorite moment on set was when I got mad because everyone was saying their lines like they were suppose to. And I just walked off from the table, I was just mad! MELISSA: He did! That wasn’t the director’s favorite moment or ours. We were like “Oh, I wonder if he’s going to come back?” TERRENCE: Then they all came out and was like “Terrence, awe you don’t have to do this, you don’t have to do that” and so I made them give me some more money!
YBF: Malcolm did say, the cast didn’t make what they are worth for this movie, but that Terrence, we had to give him some more money! [Jokingly said.] Terrence: [Laughter] No, the greatest thing about coming back and seeing these people again is knowing that everyone went to head-cutting on the first movie. So the second movie everybody was coming in even stronger. Like I saw the movie and I thought Melissa wiped everybody out, Melissa and Harold [Pictured above]. MELISSA: No, no, no! He always says that. He knows he is the scene-stealer. As soon as he walks in the room, I’m like “You didn’t even talk yet!” YBF: Everyone is waiting to see you two. Your characters are so dynamic! The director Malcolm Lee said one of his favorite characters is Shelby because she’s ‘Spicy’ and ‘Sassy’. I have to say you definitely gave it to us! MELISSA: Awe, thank you! TERRENCE: What about me? YBF: I already said it, you gave IT in The Best Man Holiday! And we really liked your Wardrobe!! TERRENCE: [Towards Melissa] See, I told you it worked! MELISSA: Yes, he did fight for those outfits. TERRENCE: I got my wrist cufflets on too [from the film]. YBF: Nice! Best Man Holiday is on track to over-perform with a $34+ million weekend opening. Have you seen it yet?
