RL posed withhis fiance Lena.
Syleena Johnson and her cute auburn hair smiled for the cameras.
"First Class Diva" Angie Stone supported the concert.
LaTavia Roberson struck a pose. It's hard to beleive chick just gave birth in August. That post-pregancy bod is fabulous.
Monifah rocked a pair of overalls and combat boots.
Meelah posed with 112's Q. Parker and Daron Jones. Feels like an early 2000's reunion doesn't it?
New Edition's Ronnie Devoe posed with singer wife Shamari.

Ciara posted footage from her Grammy rehearsals. Watch the tape inside and see one SUPER FAN's tattoo of Lebron James' face! Ciara teamed with DEGREE and their "Do More" campaign for a newly released video of her Grammy rehearsals. In the video, we watch Cici prepare for her upcoming Grammy After party performance and hear her drop gems of wisdom about hardwork and determination. SIDEBAR: We noticed that the camera rarely showed Ciara's mid-section. And we've been saying we already have the newly-engaged "Body Party" singer on preggers watch. Ciara's Grammy Celebration After party performance will take place on Sunday, January 26.
In sports....
LeBron James posted a picture of a SUPER FAN who tattooed the Heat champ's entire FACE on his leg. LeBron said he didn't know if he should feel flattered.....or frightened.
Scary ish. In other LeBron news, the Miami Heat have been struggling on the court lately. This past week, they were beaten by both NY teams. They lost to the Brooklyn Nets (95 - 104) and the NY Kicks (92 - 102). Womps.

Our fave gorgeous It-Girl Lupita Nyong'o popped up at the AFI Awards Luncheon in Beverly Hills last night. Check out who she met, what she rocked, and a look into her ELLE UK February 2104 spread inside...
In a gorgeous Carolina Herrera blue & marigold frock with blue suede Manolo Blahnik pumps, Lupita Nyong'orolled into the Four Seasons Beverly Hills yesterday to accept an award for her work in 12 Years.
But before she walked in, the "Scandal" fan snapped a pic with President Fitz himself, Tony Goldwyn.
And she snapped pics with Sandra Bullock and Michael B. Jourdan. About her breakout role in the film, she said she was a nervous wreck to even audition. She said in DuJour magazine:
And in the February 2014 issue of ELLE UK, she's sitting pretty for her feature:
Nice. And if you've ever wondered who her cinematic crush would be....she revealed in W magazine that it's Charlize Theron. Check out her dish about the fab South African actress below: The Randomness: 1. Lee Daniels is in talks to direct a Richard Pryor biopic, with Michael B. Jordan as the star. STORY

Newlyweds Bobbi Christina Brown and Nick Gordon dished on honeymoon plans and their strained relationship with Cissy Houston in a new interview. Watch the clip inside... During a candid street interview with TMZ, Bobbi Christina and Nick Gordon confirmed their recent nuptials and revealed that they've repaired their relationship with Cissy Houston. Although Cissy's controversial open letter slammed Bobbi and Nick's relationship a few months ago, the couple said that Cissy has given them her "blessing." Oh? Bobbi also said her mom, Whitney Houston, would have been thrilled that she and Nick married. "This is exactly what she wanted." Oh?
Oddly, in both the interview and on Twitter, Bobbi Kris alludes to them having an "official" ceremony before God soon. She doesn't say if they've already gone to the Justice of the Peace or not. But...it seems they would have had to in order to be "married" currently. The couple will head to Fiji for their honeymoon, according to them. Congrats. Watch the interview here. The Randomness: 1. A "pimp" in Oregon is SUING Nike. His says Nike should have included warning labels on Air Jordans....because they are dangerous weapons! Story. Photo via Splash |

Wondering why Beyonce and her mom popped up in New Orleans yesterday? We've learned it's all because a huge 60th birthday party for Mama Tina is about to go down at one of the French Quarter's ritzy restaurants.
Deets and pics inside...
When pics of Beyonce, her mom and cousin Angie chillin' around New Orleans yesterday surfaced on Twitter, folks were wondering what the fam had up their sleeves. Now we know:
Miss Tina is turning 60! And she's celebrating with an epic masquerade party tomorrow night thrown by her daughters--Solange Knowles and Beyonce Carter--in the place where Tina's family is from. Word has it, the super swanky formal bash ay Muriel's restaurant (creole cuisine) is costing upwards of $100,000. The Knowles ladies were spotted yesterday in the French Quarter posing with a second line band and hitting up Fleurty Girl shop for some New Orleans trinkets yesterday: Cute. Beyonce's been a party planning busy Bee lately as she and Jay just rented out the entire Jungle Island in Miami for Blue Ivy's 2nd birthday this week. Happy birthday Mama Tina!

| READY TO MINGLE: Taye Diggs WINES & DINES With Mystery Woman Posted: 10 Jan 2014 01:45 PM PST
Taye Diggs dined out with a new young(er) thang last night. See pics from their post-dinner stroll inside....
Since his separation from wife Idina Menzel, Best Man Holiday star Taye Diggs hasn't allowed any grass to grow under his feet.
Flashing a wide smile, the Fedora-clad star was seen leaving 1 OAK nightclub for some food, drink and partying in West Hollywood with a younger mystery woman. And even though they tried to act like they WERE NOT walking together when cameras spotted them, we all know the deal. Taye will make a splashy return to the small screen this summer as the star of TNT's "Murder in the First."

| Singer Speaks On Jennifer Hudson Getting Him KICKED OUT The People's Choice Awards! Posted: 10 Jan 2014 11:40 AM PST
Jennifer Hudson may have copped the Favorite Humanitarian Award at Wednesday night's People's Choice Awards, but singer Tionne, also known as Lord Kraven, says she was FAR from acting the part that night. Check out the drama that went down off camera when she had the singer KICKED OUT of the Awards show! Drama! Reports hit the net yesterday that superstar Jennifer Hudson had an ex-friend kicked out of the People's Choice Awards this week. A singer, who was also close friends with Jenny until recently, Lord Kraven was sitting front row when Jennifer walked into the Nokia Theater Wednesday night. But when she spotted him, she reportedly threatened producers saying either HE needs to leave...or SHE'S leaving.
Needless to say, Kraven (pictured above) was promptly escorted OUT. Security and LAPD had to get involved and it caused lots of ruckus outside the arena. And Jennifer, her fiance David, and her sister Julia took their own seats on the front row:
What caused all this drama? Kraven tells TheYBF.com today that the story is indeed 100% true, and he wants to know why Jennifer is suddenly being such a diva as well. He also took to his social media once the story went public saying: "OMG! I can't believe THIS! JENNIFER HUDSON, look what YOU HAVE CREATED! This is absolutely ridiculous! I am..." And then after digging into the possible things that could have set Jennifer off...he posted this interview with HLN asking if THIS is what she was all up in arms about:
Jennifer keeps a very close circle of friends. So when her then-friend Lord Kraven went on HLN during the trial of William Balfur (the man convicted of murdering her mother, brother and nephew) to talk about how Jennifer would be strong enough to make it through it all, it's possible she wasn't feeling him talking about her personal issues on national television. No word on if this is the exact cause, but it looks very possible. Who knew Jenny was having folks kicked out of Award shows....

The Carters recently celebrated the second birthday of Blue Ivy Carter while in Miami, FL. See pics inside.....
Blue Ivy Carter and her parents, Jay-Z & Beyonce (atop), were spotted leaving Joey's restaurant in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, where they had lunch a few days ago. The family dined on two pizzas and two salads. Beyonce paid homage to her hit song "Drunk In Love" in a "Surfboard" Crew Neck Sweatshirt which she paired with a Dsquared2 Quebec Bag, an All Saints Valtari Necklace and Azzedine Alaia Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boots. Earlier in the day, the family celebrated Blue Ivy's at the Miami Zoo where the Carters rented out Jungle Island, a botanical bird sanctuary, wildlife habitat, and botanical garden. You'll recall that Jay posted a tribute to Blue on his website a few days ago too. And Mama bey created a new Tumblr for Blue's b0day so fans could submit their own messages. On a side note, Black Twitter has been dragging the Carters because of Blue Ivy's hair. In case you forgot....she's two. And 2-year-olds she be as wild and free as they want to be--because it's gonna end up like that at the end of the day anyway. They're 2 year olds! Every piece of them is beautiful no matter what. Sesali Bowen at Feministing blog asker readers "Do we really think that the Carter’s aren’t taking care of their daughter’s hair, even if it’s not styled in the way we would like?" and questioned why so many people are up in arms and what deeper issues it raises about Black women and hair. Agreed.
On her Tumblr page, Beyonce posted several photos from the Miami trip where she and Jay posed with several pieces of artwork. Loving this Topshop skirt and look. Following their lunch, the Carters boarded a private jets.
Jay headed to Ohio for his next "Magna Carta World Tour" stop and Beyonce was spotted in New Orleans yesterday.
