Jay let "Entourage" star Adrian Grenier snap some flicks of him as he hit the Provacateur venue.. Then he got dapper and hit the black carpet. Say what you want about this dude, but he almost always looks effortlessly damn good in a suit. I see Omarion thought he outfit was the ish because he surely didn't change clothes. Just...why? Solange hit the 1's and 2's of her bro in law's party: Lookin' cute as usual. Serena kicked it with her sis Isha and model Selita Ebanks. Lookin' fab ladies. Loving this look on Melanie Fiona. The Rocawear campaign girl kicked it with Common and Melody Thonton. She performed as well of course.
Jessica White rocked a white dress and kicked it with Bun B. Estelle and PR guru Marvet Britto were there. Trey Songz performed and poured out the liquor for the ladies. Maino was spotted at the event. So was Johnta Austin. Kanye West and June Ambrose rolled through. And Big Bro and Lil Bro chilled out. Fab times all around... Photog: Nunez  |

| EVENT FAB: US Weekly's 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers 2010 Posted: 16 Sep 2010 06:45 AM PDT Around the globe, most fashion people in the know consider New Yorkers to be among the most fashion forward trend-setters in the world. And last night, US Weekly's 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers party paid homage to many of them. And of course our YBF celebs were there in their Sunday and Saturday night best. See the fab pics inside... <!--break--> US Weekly hosted their party at Lavo and Supermodel Iman was there in all her legendary flesh. I love Mary J Blige's look. Very suburban mother.... Talk show host Wendy Williams was out and about. Tyson rode his bike there....or maybe that's just a "stylish" accessory. Swizz Beatz was there. I know Alicia is very pregnant but I just don't trust him out by himself... Ryan Leslie was out and about too. Hey Omarion...all these "pieces" may have worked as separates but together...you look like Satan's agent. Working on his new reality show "Satan's Best", the mixtape: "Hell Up In Harlem" and the movie For Devilish Girls Who Considered Stripping When McDonald's Was Not Enough. Kwame Jackson still get invites...but forgot to "tailor" his suit.
YaYa was there in a dress that looks ill-fitted to me...but the hair is cute. Kat DeLuna showed off her legs. Nice to see June Ambrose in something simple (for her) but fab. DJ Moss and DJ Kiss prove you can be "Sexy While Mixing." Photos via WireImage/Dziekan  |
| LEGAL WOES: Katherine Jackson Is SUING Tour Organizers AEG LIVE, Blames THEM For Michael's Death! Posted: 16 Sep 2010 05:49 AM PDT Katherine Jackson is making sure anyone who had something to do with her son, Michael Jackson's, death is reprimanded. Find out why she and her grandbabies are suing promoter AEG Live when you read on...
<!--break--> Katherine Jackson and MJ's kids are filing a lawsuit against AEG Live for their negligence of hiring Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray and for breach of their agreement to provide physical care. According to TMZ, Katherine claims AEG's contract with Michael "created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson." She says AEG never conducted a background check on Dr. Murray and that "AEG did not provide a doctor who was truly looking out for Jackson's well-being and did not provide equipment." AEG is also being accused of causing emotional distress to Michael's son Prince because he was allowed to witness Michael dying. "The purpose of this lawsuit is to prove to the world the truth about what happened to Michael Jackson, once and for all," says Katherine's attorney, Brian J. Parish. Wow. This is going to be a doozy. Especially because AEG helped to get Michael's last movie appearance (made up of footage from his concert rehearsals) "This Is It" released as quickly and as largely as it did. Time will tell...  |
| Kanye West Shows His Dual Personalities On The October 2010 Cover Of XXL Posted: 16 Sep 2010 12:14 AM PDT He's not only XXL's October 2010 coverboy, but he also served as the creative director of the special collector’s issue 40-page section. Kanye West is talking out his two heads (it's literally a two headed cover) about the 2009 VMA aftermath and how he felt so alone after Swiftgate '09.
Pics and quotes when you read on... <!--break--> 'Ye actually penned his own cover story. Which means there would be no interruptions...or misunderstandings....by a reporter: On realizing his mistake “I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally.” And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV.”
On apologizing to his fans “The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend. How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”
On going into seclusion after the hoopla “I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace. In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.” Well, he's back now. And hardly anyone's complaining....

| Posted: 15 Sep 2010 04:41 PM PDT We have your fashion week round-up featuring your favorite YBF celebs when you go inside... <!--break-->
Deborah Cox and Solange Knowles sat next to each other at the Luca Luca Spring 2011 fashion show.
Anna Wintour and Serena Williams got friendly....again...at the Michael Kors Spring 2011 fashion show today. They've been hitting up shows together all week. Here's Rachel Roy and some of her models. Model Chanel Iman stopped by the Rosa Cha show. Miss Kelly went to the Rosa Cha show as well. She found time in between fashion shows to attend another fashion show - the G-Star RAW Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. This week - I swear this chick has been at more fashion shows than most of the actual models. Tyson and Kat Deluna also made it out to the G-Star RAW Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Shontelle Layne wore a nice gold dress to the Alice + Olivia Spring 2011 presentation. Here's Selita Ebanks at the Mulberry Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week Party at Soho House. We see you Mr. Simmons. With your chick of the month in tow... I just want to know how many suitcases Kelly Rowland travels with. She does at least 4-5 events a day and is wearing something new every time. Must be nice. Kelly Osbourne and Kanye West posed at the Jeremy Scott Spring 2011 fashion show.
I see Miss J. Alexander and Jay Manuel front row. Here's Ice-T and Tyson having a chat. Do we love this dress on Jessica Szohr or what? She hit the Herve Leger show.
Ryan Leslie and Chad Hugo hit a few shows.
Gabourey Sidibe poses at the Onestopplus.com Spring 2011 fashion show. And kicked it front row with "NJ Housewife" Caroline Manzo. Celebs alked in the SACHIKA show: Dawn of Dirty Money rocked the runway for SACHIKA. It takes a BOLD woman to rock this dress. SACHIKA must have invited all Bad Boy artists to walk, if Cheri Dennis was there. But I can't believe she's still on Bad Boy...
Angela and Vanessa Simmons both rocked out for the Style360 show featuring design team SACHIKA. Adrienne B. looked fab working the Style360 runway for SACHIKA. Photogs: WireImage/Gologursky/Clark/Raglin/Santini/Gershoff/Teodoro/Ufberg/McCarthy/Morigi/Henry/Kambouris  |
| YBF'S ON-THE-SCENE FASHION WEEK COVERAGE: Celebs Hit The LaQuan Smith Spring 2011 Show Posted: 15 Sep 2010 03:40 PM PDT TheYBF.com was on the scene for YBF designer LaQuan Smith's Spring 2011 NY Fashion Week presentation. We've got exclusive flicks of Cassie, Serena Williams, Common, and others all hitting the runway and front row for this afternoon's show.
Pics when you read on... <!--break-->
LaQuan tapped a few celeb chicks to walk in his show. The theme of the show was "A Storybook Past", and he tells us that he was inspired by a trip he took to Paris: Cassie hit the "runway" looking gorge. Wonder when this chick will realize THIS is her calling... Serena Williams also walked in the show in this red and gold number. About the collection: Very Victorian. Lots of brocade heavy fabrics with constructed pieces with fitted jackets and short bustled and bollooning skirts. There were also some assymetric pieces, as well as long dresses and some that combined the two - like Deborah's dress. He inserted a few lingerie inspired pieces that were light and sheer and adorned with feathers and sparkles. And look how cute. Her ex (but still good friend) Common was there to support. Deborah Cox walked in the show: Still trying to understand why she's everywhere all of a sudden. Is she prepping for a comeback or something? Just wonderin'... Andre Leon Talley hit the show to show support. Misa Hylton was spotted in this outfit. Sigh. Looks like "Top Model" winner Jaslene Gonzalez is working again. And the designer himself--in the middle--posed for pics as well. Congrats to LaQuan. Photog: Vinnet Bradshaw/GeniusHatesCompany.com  |
| SPOTTED: Jennifer Hudson Makes Her Media Rounds With Baby David, Jr. Posted: 15 Sep 2010 01:30 PM PDT Jennifer Hudson made her morning media rounds today.

Pics when you read on... <!--break--> Showing off her sleek new figure, the engaged Jenny hit both "Regis and Kelly" and "Good Morning America" to campaign for healthy meals for children in New York City:
Awww. Autographs and baby holding. Fab super mom is on duty I see... And while finishing up her rounds today: *wants to pinch the cheeks* Cute!

Beyonce took the stage again to help Jay on his "Young Forever" track for the second night. She took Mr. Hudson's spot. And she looked fabulous while doing so.
