If Chris is convicted in the D.C. assault case, he could possibly be facing 4 years in prison.   Stay tuned for more updates... And in other legal woes...

During the Women’s Empowerment 2014 event in Raleigh, NC, Tyler Perry made a shocking revelation during an interview with Cathy Hughes, the founder of Radio One.

He encouraged women in the audience not to keep secrets from their children. Now.....he's trying to find out who is his biological father.

Solange Talks Relationships & Fashion In Harper’s Bazaar + Karrueche & Kyla Pratt Attend "A Brighter Future For Children" Benefit In Beverly Hills Posted: 17 Mar 2014 03:06 PM PDT Solange splashs an array of colors in fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar while Karrueche and Kyla Pratt hit up a charity event. Check the pics when you go inside… Solange Knowles shows off her funky, eclectic style in fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar this month.  The New Orleans resident (after leaving her brownstone apartment in Brooklyn) kept it cute in a $12,500 Chanel dress, a Moshino jumpsuit and Ralph Lauren sweater dress shot by Julia Noni. Bey’s fab little sister has isolated herself in Cajun country as she works on a new album. "I figure there's no better way to buckle down and finish it than to be as far away from everyone as possible, cell phone and computer behind. I'm not very good at writing songs when I have a lot of clutter in my mind." The 27-year old fashionista dished on following in her big sis Beyonce’s footsteps, her failed marriage with her childhood sweetheart Daniel Smith, her current relationship with video director Alan Ferguson and revealed whether she would let her son Juelz enter the entertainment industry. Here are the highlights below:   On her following Beyonce’s footstep to become an entertainer: "My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist," she says. "They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life." On her failed relationship with her ex-husband Daniel Smith: "In a lot of ways, emotionally and mentally, I feel far older than 27," she says. "Just going through a marriage and a divorce—which I essentially did by 21—will give you an insane amount of perspective on life." "We co-parent really well," she says. "I'm able to say, 'I need to finish this album, can you step up and take care of the boy?' " On her fashion sense: "You can pull images of me from seven to 14 years ago and I was absolutely nuts," she says. "I have always been drawn to interesting pieces and colors, but I didn't quite know how to limit myself and make those statement pieces work. It sounds silly, I know, but having space for my clothes made a huge difference. I was able to get organized, free myself of clutter, and develop a style that felt like me." On if she’d let her son Juelz get into the entertainment industry: "It's certainly not what I have in mind for him," she says with a laugh. "I'm constantly trying to push him to work at the U.N., or be a diplomat. I try to convince him by explaining that he wouldn't have to wait in lines at the airport, and that he can park anywhere." On her relationship with video director Alan Ferguson: "Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while," she says, adding wryly, "It's a fucked-up thing—without conflict it's a lot harder to write interesting songs."   Check out the full interview here. Also... Karrueche Tran, Kyla Pratt and Kat Graham hit up The Dream Builders Project's "A Brighter Future For Children" Benefit at H.O.M.E. in Beverly Hills on yesterday. A nicely tanned Kae was all smiles on the red carpet in a cute printed cropped bustier. Sunbathing really has her glowing. "Let's Stay Together" actress Kyla Pratt (who became a mother for the 2nd time around in August) looked hot in an all white pants suit. And actress Kat Graham kept it interesting in her pink and black ensemble. Photos: Julia Noni/Harper’s Bazaar/PCN/Parisa

Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade Sneak Out Of LeBron James' Award Ceremony To Celebrate Their Engagement In Miami Posted: 17 Mar 2014 12:07 PM PDT Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade attended an award ceremony for LeBron James then snuck out to their own engagement party. Check out the pics and deets inside… Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade attended The Annual Reid and Fiorentino Call of The Game dinner at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino hosted by Gabby. Dwyane had on a gray Ferragamo suit while Gabby wore a smoke print Sara Roka exclusive gown and EK Thongprasert statement necklace. D. Wade’s teammate LeBron James (pictured above with Florida attorney Ron Book and his daughter Lauren Book) was being honored the Don Shula Sports Legend Award during a dinner awarded by the Miami Dolphins’ legendary coach Don Shula.  LeBron sat next to his mother, Gloria James, during his dinner ceremony. We told you last week his wife Savannah is almost 4 months pregnant expecting baby #3, which would explain why she wasn’t present for the dinner honoring her husband. And Gabby & D. Wade were busted as they tried to sneak out of the event, missing Lebron's award ceremony. And they were in a hurry to leave because… They had an engagement party to get to! Although Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade got engaged back in December, the couple hosted their engagement party at Pearl at Nikki Beach in Miami on Saturday. They were surrounded by family and friends including Kelly Rowland, Kevin Hart & Jamie Foxx. The “Being Mary Jane” star’s parents were also in attendance. She shared on Instagram: "You know it's a good time when Pops is turnt is the club... #pearlchampagnelounge#ohmyleg#noYOUtellmydadhesbeencutofffrombottleservice.” She posted this funny picture above of her parents glued to their cell phones saying: While me @telltell_heart @dauniedaune were busy havin fun... Those youngins were very busy chile on their phones #settinuplatenightmoveswithoutthekids   Ha! Still no word on an official date for their actual wedding. Now it's back to the grind as D. Wade and the Miami Heat head to the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio (LeBron James’ hometown) tomorrow in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. BONUS: Gabrielle Union is set to star in Chris Rock’s upcoming film “Finally Famous,” which Chris wrote and will be directing. Gabby landed the female lead role and will play Chris Rock’s popular reality TV star fiancée. Gabby’s role will be trying to convince Chris’ character to have their wedding filmed on her reality TV show. Chris plays a comedian (how fitting) who wants to be taken seriously as a professional actor. Rosario Dawson also landed a role as a journalist who ends up falling for Chris Rock’s character.   Photos: Charlie Ans /Splash News /Gabrielle Union’s IG

First, she went through a nasty divorce from her ex-husband Kordell Stewart and virtually got next to nothing in the divorce settlement.

It's really kind of a documentary of everything that I went through to become who I am now." Check it below:   No word on when her EP is expected to drop.  So...   DO WE LOVE IT?!

REVEALED: REASONS Chris Brown Got BOOTED From Rehab + Chief Keef Busted For DUI....Only Two Weeks After Rehab! Posted: 17 Mar 2014 11:16 AM PDT We now know why Chris Brown was kicked out of rehab.  Find out what landed Chris in jail and get deets about Chief Keef's DUI inside. Over the weekend, we told you about Chris Brown heading back to jail and getting kicked out of rehab.  Now...we know why.  According to TMZ, Chris violated 3 internal rules: 1. He was order to stay at least 2 feet away from women (he violated it by touching the elbows and hands of a woman). 2. He went on an authorized outing BUT refused to submit to a drug test when he returned. 3. He made harsh comments during a group session. On another note, TMZ also reported that he "hooked up" with a woman at the facility (but that was not a factor in him getting the boot). Now that we've cleared that up....he's still in jail and is expected in court today.   In other arrests....... We've just learned that rapper Chief Keef was arrested two weeks ago (March 5th) for a DUI.  What happened?  Keef was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana.  Sidebar:  he was in rehab for weed shortly before his arrest!  He was also charged with driving on a suspended license and cited for having no proof of insurance. He was later released after posting $300 bail. BONUS: Retired NBA player Eric Williams, who appeared alongside estranged wife Jennifer Williams on "Basketball Wives",  was recently served with a court summons over back child support. According to TMZ, Eric owes the mother of his 13-year-old son around $24K and he's ignored a court order to pay off the amount.  Now that he's been served, he must appear before a judge or face jailtime. We'll keep you posted....    Photos via Getty/VHI/TMZ
