PICS: Halle Chats Up A Fan+Christina Milian Goes Sheer & Striped

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 09:07 AM PDT

Christian Milian kept it cute and casual in jeans and a striped tee with a sheer shirt while grabbing lunch in L.A. yesterday.  Pics if the casual cutie, plus Halle Berry giving a fan a chance, inside...

Even in a baseball cap and jeans Ms. Milian can some heads.  The singer/actress was spotted hitting up Little Next Door in West Hollywood with a friend.

And hopped in her Mercedes G-Wagon afterwards.

And elsewhere in L.A. yesterday:

Halle Berry was spotted at lunch with her mom Judith.  And a fan stopped her and handed over her resume.  Guess Halle was impressed because she even snapped pics with her afterwards.

That's one way to land a job.

And she was spotted running other errands afterwards.  By the way, the hot actress turns 45 next week!  Nice.

"BBW" star Meeka Claxton recently celebrated her birthday, along with her husband Speedy Claxton, with a poolside party where she showed off her bikini bod and cute Balenciaga shades. See the pics.

 

Meeka didn't let a little lawsuit keep her for jumping into a bikini for her birthday recently.  She recently celebrated her birthday with a few pals and her hubby.

 

Meeka and Speedy both had a little fun with French Montana.

She rocked a blue and black zebra bikini and posed with G Unit's Tony Yayo.

She also posed with reality chick Tionna Smalls and DJ Suss One.

Julito McCullum from ‘The Wire’ also posed with Meeka and Tionna.

And Speedy's baller homies Kemba Walker and Charles Jenkins were there.  Interesting party nonetheless.

RUMOR CONTROL: Stacey Dash NOT FIRED....Yet!

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 06:43 AM PDT

Rumors are rampant this week that Stacey Dash got the axe from VH1's hit show "Single Ladies" already.  Mainly because of her diva antics and fights with co-stars like LisaRaye McCoy.

 

But VH1 exclusively tells TheYBF.com that's not the case.  At least not as of yet.  Deets inside...

Word on the internet streets this week is that Stacey Dash, who plays lead character Val on "Single Ladies," was told she's not coming back for Season 2.  After all the catfights on set, and supposed demands and stank attitude Stacey's been putting out, it's not that hard to believe. 

But VH1's press representative tells YBF, “No casting decisions have been made for season 2 of 'Single Ladies'."

So Stacey hasn't gotten that pink slip just yet.  But that doesn't mean she won't....

Season 2 begins filming later this year and will air in 2012.

Why Is Former ATL Housewife Lisa Wu-Hartwell Kissing Another Man?

Posted: 10 Aug 2011 03:58 PM PDT

It's all for a good cause! Former "RHOA" star Lisa Wu Hartwell hit the stage in Atlanta recently in the stage play "Stripped" to benefit the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition and we have the deets inside.

Lisa Wu Hartwell was among the Atlanta celebs who graced the stage in former Superbowl champ Dorsey Levens’ stage play “Stripped,” benefitting the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition of Atlanta, GA.

Former NFL baller Karon Joseph Riley, hubby to actress Terri Vaughn, also appeared in the play with Lisa.

Lisa also posed with co-star Ryan Stewart and the play's producer Dorsey Levens.

Media personality Rashan Ali appeared in the play.

The play told the stories of football players from "their" perspective and touched on issues like prostate cancer, early onset Alzheimer’s disease, and the impact multiple concussions NFL players often suffer from on the field.  And Ed Hartwell (Lisa's husband) probably wasn't too concerned about Lisa kissing her co-star...

 

At the conclusion of the performance, Dorsey was awarded the prestigious Phoenix Award by Mayor Kasim Reed’s office who said, “Your desire to produce quality plays that challenge our theatre artists, inspire and provoke audiences to thought and dialogue, and push the physical, visual and design elements of production, will not only resonate in the theater arena, but also your place within it.  The City of Atlanta applauds you for accepting this bold charge."

IN A NEW YORK MINUTE: Beyonce's "4" Concert Sells Out In 22 Seconds!

Posted: 10 Aug 2011 01:26 PM PDT


Things happen fast as all hell in New York City, but this is on another level.  If you blinked your eyes at your computer screen earlier today when trying to cop Beyonce tix, you might have missed your chance.  Get the deets on how the diva's NYC 4-nights-only concert tickets got gobbled up in SECONDS....

 

Earlier today, sales for Beyonce's "4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce" concert series went on sale.  And they were gone literally in a flash.  According to her label Columbia's press release, her first show, on August 14 at NYC's Roseland Ballroom, sold out in 22 seconds!

With three nights left, the final shows went on sale every hour today until 4pm EST.  And before 5p, all 4 dates were sold out.

The show itself is being hyped as an opportunity for Bey to perform her entire album, "4" before an intimate room of fans.   Most of us will be praying for a DVD release...

In other Beyonce news, the charitable artist is lending her support to the East African food crisis by linking her social networking pages to a downloaded movie about the crisis.  Great to see she continues to give back.

Charlamagne chlled with DJ Prostyles.

And DJ Envy kicked it with his Breakfast Club peeps.

Speaking of Affion, he has a new show coming out on FOX.  So what better way to do a trailer for it than to impersonate folks.  In the trailer, he plays JAY-Z, KANYE WEST, LIL WAYNE, & CORY GUNZ.  Check out his promo spoof for his TV show "IN THE FLOW", airing Sunday August 14th at 9pm on FOX.

Ha!
