With a tip in his hand, LA Lakers shooting guard Nick Young was spotted walking to the valet area of BOA Steakhouse with his date, a sheer-ish skirt rocking rapper Iggy Azalea, following closely behind him.

The pair hopped into Nick's blue Ferrari before speeding off into the streets of LA/Hollywood.  We've been noticing that the two have been spending a great deal of time together while Iggy is on hiatus from her hectic recording/tour schedule overseas (she's a much bigger star in Europe) and appearing on Mrs. Carter's Aussie leg of her tour. 

And they look pretty comfortable letting the public in on their date nights...

 

 

In other LA baller news..... 

 

Lamar Odom has hinted at a possible comeback with his former team, the LA Clippers.  While everyone knows his top choice was the LA Lakers, it's good to know that there's still hope for Lamar to get his career back on track....somewhere.

Kanye West rolled up in Harvard over the weekend with his baby mama and his creative designer Virgil Abloh.  Check out what they were filling the smarties' minds with inside...

Kanye West was welcomed with open arms at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design this weekend.  And it was all in the name of DONDA.  Mr. West entered the building to chat up the students as part of his and Virgil's DONDA Design Lecture Series.

And the students looked happy to get an earful from the passionate rapper/designer as well.  We hear he also gave away tickets to his Yeezus tour stop in Boston.  Nice!

 

Meanwhile..

After his idiotic rant he did on Ryan Seacrest's show a few weeks ago (that we purposely didn't post for a few reasons and it would only spread the unnecessary disrespect), Kanye is saying some more ish.   This time, on Hot 107.9 in Philly before his show there this weekend.

He's explaining why he compared our First Lady to his baby mama Kim K.--when he basically said she's more influential than Michelle Obama and how the First Lady should take a page out of Kim's "sexy IG pic" book to be more influential--and throwing shade at the same time. So, since we like to let celebs explain themselves...

He talked about whether he and the Obamas would ever break bread and what caused him to say what he said:

Oh you talking about how he use to come and visit me and my mother and tell me he’s about to run for President? I just think that we’re pop icons and the President likes to use that type of thing just to be down.

People were fine with me being everyone’s punching bag for about 5 years. This is the person we love to hate so if you want to distract people from everything that’s going on or you gotta a problem with your father…..just say you hate Kanye and there’s gonna be 30 other people who say they hate Kanye and that was kinda my position in culture and he kinda used that too “oh he’s a jack*ss” cuz that’s how the world felt but I don’t care if someones the President or not. I care about thoughts and how you helpin’ people and what you bring to the world. My music brings joy to people. What I create brings joy to people.

Sounds like he's feeling some kind of way that President O called him a "jackass" and didn't have him stomping on the campaign trail like he did other rappers....

 

When asked about him mentioning Michelle and if he'll leave her alone

Well, uh I think he should mention MY babymama name because we both from Chicago. But no, I’m not gonna mention him no more. I’m passed that. That’s out my thoughts. That’s lowering my priority of thinking at this point.

Um, Ok 'Ye.

 

Peep the video below and the full interview where he also discusses the "artistic side" of what he's doing with the confederate flag....and other attention grabby Kanyeism quotes:

EXCLUSIVE: Morris Chestnut & Monica Calhoun Talk Hottest...And Hardest...'Best Man Holiday' Scenes

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 01:23 PM PST

 photo 2427_D020_00347R_zps6d9cada9.jpg

In our final installment for our Opening Weekend Exclusive Interview series for Best Man Holiday, we had a little sit down with one of our fave on screen couples.

 

Check out what Morris Chestnut said about his most difficult scenes and Monica Calhoun's fave moments...

 

 photo 2427_D026_00263R_zps7c4df5dd.jpg

Hallelujer! 44-year-old Morris Chestnut is bringing his ridiculously sexy body back for us to gawk at for the Best man Holiday sequel.  We talked to arguably the sexiest star of the movie, along with is on-screen wife, Monica Calhoun, about their fave moments and the hardest ones.  Getting that chiseled bod was probably hard for Morris to get, but was that lip-syncing performance even harder?

YBF: The Best Man Holiday is definitely going to be another classic. Tell us about the chemistry of the cast and the plot twist with your characters.

MORRIS: Oh wow, it was just like riding a bike getting back together again. We all came, we had to rehearse a couple of weeks prior to. And then a week before filming we all got together and watched the original film. That brought back memories and put us back in that mode so the chemistry was great, like riding a bike.

MONICA: I have several favorite moments! The dinner scenes when we were all sitting around the table. Those were some long nights but a lot of good laughs.

YBF: Why do you think Malcolm Lee wrote your characters as he did? Audiences are going to be surprised when they see this movie compared to the original?

MORRIS: Why do you say that?

YBF: Because it’s so real! There are real moments, it’s real life that is happening and the cast put it down with regards to the portrayal of these characters. How did it feel for you to come in with such a different flare this time around?

MORRIS: I think the one thing about this movie is that these characters have been around for 14 years. When you are doing the original you are creating the backstory. Now, we were able to fill in so many different layers to our characters; what’s going on? Have we had the conversation? Why haven’t we had the conversation? What did we do? How did we not deal with it? And myself with Harper…it’s just layering the characters more and more. Then our characters [Lance & Mia] have some pretty great arcs and some secrets and all that stuff to deal with. It made it a lot more fun!

 photo 2427_D012_00286R_zpsa49490d1.jpg

YBF: You listen to Mia. When she talks, Lance listens.  Is that true to life?

MORRIS: Oh YEAH, without a doubt! [Laughter]

YBF: There are a couple of funny scenes between Shelby and Candice and Lance you had to break one up.

MONICA: Faith was being tested!

MORRIS: Yeah I had to break it up, I think I caught one on the chin. I’m just playing.

YBF: They didn’t bring any stunt doubles?

MORRIS: They did, there was a stunt double there but they didn’t really need them.

MONICA: They executed WELL!

MORRIS: They do a good job getting at it themselves!

 photo 2427_D021_00559R_zps20ef47ad.jpg

YBF: Morris I hear you wanted to rehearse a whole month for the dance scene??

Morris: I did! Cause look, you have Harold coming from Alvin Alley, you have Taye doing Broadway and Terrence just don’t care. I wanted to get it right and get it down!

MONICA: Going through all that, you know what, he was fine, they were fine! I mean they were sharp! Those arms, spins, hat tosses, just on cue and right!
 

That's a wrap for our interview series with the Best Man Holiday cast.  Check out all of our chit chats HERE.

The movie is in theaters now!
