Vivica Fox's Photoshoot For "Today's Black Woman" + Foxy Brown Skirts Federal Charges Posted: 08 Sep 2010 08:50 AM PDT YBF chick Vivica Fox recently sat for a photoshoot for Today's Black Woman and we have a few of the flicks for you.  Also, we have a legal update regarding Foxy Brown when you go inside... <!--break--> Vivica Fox is looking pretty fab in her new photoshoot.     This is how I plan to do my 40s.  Vivica is just as fly as one of those 18 year old video vixens.  Keep representing Vivica!   Yesterday, Foxy Brown learned that prosecutors dropped all but one charge against her after a grand jury failed to indict her with two felonies and three of four misdemeanors.  Foxy Brown was arrested in July for allegedly shouting obscenities at neighbor Arlene Raymond and "mooning" the woman.  Don't forget at this point, Foxy is in her early 30s.    Raymond originally got a restraining order against Brown after the rapper (thinking she was the Naomi Campbell of Brooklyn) hit her with a BlackBerry in 2007. Brown's lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, said his client will face at worst community service for the single count of misdemeanor criminal contempt if convicted.. "Mooning is not an aggravated act," he said. Foxy...you have a few anger management issues.  Yet, you are SO talented.  Please pick up a pen and channel this anger into a few hot singles.  We miss Boogie Brown.  All this other foolishness is a waste of your talent.

NEW COUPLE ALERT: Halle Berry And Olivier Martinez Posted: 08 Sep 2010 08:00 AM PDT NEW COUPLE ALERT!!  Beautiful YBF chick Halle Berry was photographed kissing passionately in Paris with the also beautiful French actor Olivier Martinez.  See a pic of the couple french kissing in France when you go inside.... <!--break-->   Halle's new beau is the former flame of Australian pop star Kylie Minogue. Sources say the two lovers walked hand in hand in the streets of Paris, laughed and hugged each other and did not try to hide from photographers.  At night , the couple dined at an Italian restaurant where they could not keep their hands to each other.     I'm happy to see Halle happy and that this chick keeps a fine man.  Congrats to the new couple.

EVENT FAB: New York Fashion Week Kicks Off At Lincoln Center With "Fashion's Night Out" Posted: 08 Sep 2010 07:05 AM PDT New York's Fashion Week kicked off last night at Lincoln Center with "Fashion's Night Out."  There was a runway show featuring YBF diva extraordinaire Naomi Campbell and a live performance by YBF Celeb Pharrell Williams.  We have fab pics from the show when you go inside.... <!--break-->   Here's a pic of the overall atmosphere at Lincoln Center.  Here's model Hanneli Mustaparta taping a segment with Vogue's Editor-At-Large Andre Leon Talley and star of "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively. Hanneli Mustaparta and Andre Leon Talley were later joined by Vera Wang.     Here's Serena's arrival photo.  Do we all agree Serena looks gorgeous?   Here's Pharrell arriving at Lincoln Center.  And here he is holding it down on stage. Then they took the performance to a double decker bus.  When was the last time you felt fabulous on a bus?  Only Naomi and Pharrell can make your local transit association look hot.  Known as one of the greatest to ever hit a catwalk, here's Naomi the legend.  On the left, check out model Jourdan Dunn striking a pose.   So now we know the "must have" t-shirt of the moment.  The only thing I can say is FABULOUS!  Mr. Amare Stoudemire rocking a tailored powder blue suit.  And Mr. Amare Stoudemire sat front row next to Miss Serena Williams thank you very much.

So cute.   And in other news, Neicy Nash, who turned 40 earlier this year, just got engaged to her boyfriend of a year Jay Tucker.  She told "Entertainment Tonight": "I cannot believe that God has been this kind that he would gift me this man," Niecy said. "I love you so much." "Falling in love was the easy part, planning a wedding -- yikes!" The couple set a May 2011 wedding date.  Congrats!

Chris Brown & His New Boo "Miss Dade County" Get Wet On Miami Beach Posted: 08 Sep 2010 05:08 AM PDT Looks like Breezy's got a new boo.  He's been spending lots of time with a new blondie he's previously Tweeted about named Deanna Pena, aka  Miss Dade County.   And we've got the latest pics of the two living it up on Miami Beach with friends.  Chris gets shirtless, does some readjustments, and kicks it with his new chick when you read on... <!--break-->   Miss Dade County (on left) was previously linked to J.

Interesting dress/girdle.  Our brother on the left needs about two more episodes of "America's Next Top Model"....to get that stance just right. Amber Rose's country cousin Fuchsia Lily was in the house. And Faith Evans was there celebrating freedom. At least she was smart enough not to pose with a drink. Photos via FreddyO

SPORTS DRAMA: Venus Williams Skimpy U.S. Open Outfits + Dwight Howard's Daycare Drama Posted: 07 Sep 2010 09:20 AM PDT Dwight Howard pissed off his baby momma once again. Find out what happened plus pics of Venus Williams' U.S. Open outfits that are causing controversy when you read on...   <!--break--> Dwight Howard and his baby momma Royce Reed got into another battle and this time the police were called. Howard went to pick up their 2 year old son from a daycare facility and Royce went crazy and called the police because it wasn't Dwight's day to pick up his son.   By the time Royce arrived at the daycare, Dwight had already left with his son and the police soon called the NBA player. He then explained that he and his ex made a new agreement that gave him the right to pick up his son on that day. The cops spoke to lawyers on both sides who said that although a new agreement was reached it was never signed and the police ordered Dwight to return his son to the daycare immediately.  This situation is getting crazier by the day. Royce is already legally 'banned' from using Dwight's named directly or indirectly on the show 'Basketball Wives'.  I wonder what's next in this saga....         Venus Williams has been receiving a lot of attention recently for her performance on the tennis court as well as her outfits. She's previously worn outfits that resemble lingerie and nude shorts. Venus also received criticism about her fuchsia outfit worn a few days ago. The tennis star spoke about her outfit saying, “This outfit was supposed to be about New York. It’s like bursts of fireworks." Here's some pics of her controversial outfits...   Do you think her outfits are too revealing for a tennis match?!
