FRESH MEAT: Meet "90210"'s Newest Resident Megalyn Ecikunwoke

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 08:35 AM PDT

New YBF Chick Alert!  With the kids on CW's "90210" going off to college next season, it's only right to bring in a few new characters to stir things up a bit more. 

 

Actress Megalyn Ecikunwoke is one of the new chicks entering the swanky zip code.  And we've got deets and pics of her on-set flaunting a fab bikini bod inside...

28-year-old Spokane, Washington born Megalyn first hit the tv screen in 2001 on "24" as President Palmer's daughter, Nicole.  The half Nigerian, half Caucasian actress has landed roles on "SVU," "CSI: Miami," "The Game," & "That 70's Show."  And now, she's the newest resident of the "90210" zip code.

Megalyn will play "Holly ," a sorority-obsessed California University student who will rival the now supposedly pregnant "Naomi" (played by AnnaLynne McCord)

Pics of her on-set shooting a beach scene yesterday in L.A.:

 

I wonder if her and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) will hook-up.  Season 4 kicks off later this year on The CW.

KISS & TELL: Selita Ebanks Disses Diddy's Kissing Skills, Says Nick Cannon's Manhood Is "Eh...", & What Her Issue Is With "Voluptous Women"

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 07:33 AM PDT

 

Supermodel Selita Ebanks gave a funny interview recently where she was asked to rate the kissing skills of Diddy and her former fiance Nick Cannon. Then she gave a "not so enthusiastic" reaction when asked about the size of Nick Cannon's...manhood. Get the deets inside....

 

Selita Ebanks recently chit chatted in an interview with the HDNet talk show "Naughty But Nice Rob" at the Gansevoort Park Hotel in NYC, and she gave up the deets about what her ex Nick Cannon is working with.

While discusiing her acting career and kissing Diddy for a job, Selita was asked to rate Diddy as a "kisser" and her response was "Ehh...it was acting." Womp.

And when asked how Nick Cannon was as a kisser and about the size of his "little Nick" Selita gave a verbal thumbs down saying "Meh" with a sigh. But that's not all....when discussing their engagement she said,  

“I mean I technically wore a ring but I don’t think I was really engaged. I want a Prince. I want Prince Harry. Do you think the queen would accept me?”

Hmmm....I guess she was keeping her options open for something better. Seems like MiMi's mighty pleased though.

She also talked about the catty backstage antics at the Victoria's Secret shows,

“Well if you’re an angel those other bitches don’t mess with you," Ebanks dishes. "Behind the scenes you do hear snide remarks. I’ve heard girls literally talk about another girl in her face, and literally if she had claws she would be minced meat.”

And then she gave her opinion about "voluptuous women":

“Listen, I love voluptuous women, what bothers me is when they wear spandex. Don’t wear spandex ladies if you are over size 16. Just because it comes in your size does not mean it’s for you. As women we can wear whatever we want, be sexy but just know the difference, everything has a time and place.”

Alrighty then....

You can catch the full interview on HDNet today at 1:00PM & 7:00PM.   Here's the clip in the meantime:

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 06:35 AM PDT

Beyoncé tapped into her wild (and bright) side for these new promotional shots for House of Dereon's Fall 2011 line.  Check out the multicolored prints Bey & her mama are going for next season inside....

Well that's...interesting.  We've never really been a fan of this here "fashion house" of the Knowleses.  The pics themselves are pretty hot though.

In other news, UK readers get ready...if this is your cup-o-tea.  HOD announced a while back that they will be launching the label in Selfridges this fall. 

The fierce fashionista has plans to launch her own jungle-inspired fashion line in London, teaming up with mom Tina Knowles to bring her House of Dereon collection to famed department store Selfridges this fall, the Telegraph reports.

House of Dereon, named after Beyonce's grandmother, who worked as a dressmaker, will bring Sasha Fierce glam to stores this September, with prices starting around $130 for dresses.

We also hear the designs may pop up at London Fashion Week....

Teairra Mari Is Back In The Video Saddle With "That's All Me"+Sneak Peak At "BBW 3" Reunion

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 05:44 AM PDT

We're not too sure who's sponsoring her or all these videos for Teairra Mari, but she looks pretty nonetheless in her newest one.  We've got pics of T-Mari's angelic video shoot for "That's All Me" ft. Rico Love, plus a sneak peak at the "Basketball Wives 3" reunion.

 

Check it inside...

Teairra Mari shot a video with The Core Dj's for "Tony Neal Presents Teairra Mari Ft Rico Love", "That's All Me."  It seems like we never get to see the finished product of these vids...but here goes:

She gets hot in angel wings and a cut out bodysuit for the video:

I see everybody's rocking this Herve Leger woven dress after Tika Sumpter rocked it at the BET Awards.  (Check out Evelyn rocking it as well below in the "BBW" clip.

Alrighty.

And its time to gear up for the "BBW 3" reunion show. Part 1 airs tomorrow night, and host John Salley (still don't understand why he hosts these things) and the ladies are talking about Jen's divorce, Royce is back with the sassiness, and Meeka tries to clear up her relationship with the "ladies." Suzie, Royce, Tami, Jen, Evelyn, Shaunie & Meeka are all hitting the stage for the drama.

Sidenote: Why is it everytime Royce calls out Evelyn or Jen and nails them on their lie or fakery, they act like they all of a sudden can't hear?  If you're such a bad bish SAY SOMETHING!  Sigh.  Nevermind.  Basic is as basic does.  This is why I can't watch this ish...

EVENT FAB: Kandi Burruss, Toya Wright, Meeka Claxton, The Braxtons, & More At S2S's Ladies Night

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 02:00 PM PDT

Last night, Kandi Burruss, Bobby Valentino, Trina and Towanda Braxton, Toya Wright, and Meeka Claxton joined Jamie Foster Brown for Sister 2 Sister magazine’s Ladies Night in Atlanta.  Find out what the ladies were up to inside.....

Last night, Sister 2 Sister magazine and Jamie Foster Brown hosted Kandi Burress and tons of other Atlanta "socialites" and reality chicks at The Mason Murer Fine Arts Gallery in Atlanta for Ladies Night.  

 

At the event, Jaime posed with authoress (in my Mya Wilkes voice) Toya Wright. 

Toya also signed copies of her book Priceless Inspirations for the fans.

Toya kicked it with Trina and Towanda Braxton.  Trina is looking extra svelte these days!  But these black opaque tights in the sumer time, girl....

You're too cute for this outfit right here Trina...

Bobby V. was there.

Meeka Claxton was there.  Chick is on her travel-for-a-party grind isn't she?  Determined to stay on "BBW" for next season I see..

The Braxton sisters posed with rapper Diamond.

Diamond rocked this interesting frock.


 

Kandi helped welcome guests to the party.  The ladies enjoyed vendors selling "high end" designer clothes (their words...not mine), shoes and black hair products. 

We spy Mike Vick's fiance Kijafa Frink...

The ladies also posed with eye candy at the party.  Nice.
 

 

Then...........


 

Lord Jamie Foster Brown was gettin' it in I see.  Do you boo.

WEDDING FAB: Chris Paul & Jada Crawley Gear Up For Their David Tutera Wedding!

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 12:45 PM PDT

What type of wedding does a NBA baller who'll be making a salary of over $16 million next season have?  We've got the deets on New Orleans Hornets baller Chris Paul & Jada Crawley's upcoming nuptials when you read on...

It looks like college sweethearts Chris Paul and his fiancee Jada Crawley tapped "My Fair Wedding" host David Tutera for their upcoming wedding.  Chris and David tweeted their mutual love for each other recently.  Chris said:

WoW @DavidTutera is AMAZING!!! Getting closer and closer...honored and privileged to have you apart of this!

And David gushed:

Just spent a few hours with Chris Paul and Jada planning and designing their wedding. They r amazing!!!!

Nice.  The couple, who have been engaged almost a year, and have a 2-year-old son named Chris, Jr., are getting hitched on September 10th.  And that multi million dollar salary of his didn't stop the couple from registering only at Target and Macy's.

The Post Game dropped some deets on what's on the registries:

With a $16,359,805 salary next season, Paul can buy anything his heart desires, but the All-Star guard would love a wedding guest to purchase a Waterford Crystal Bowl for $1,000.00 or a $599.99 nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set from Macy's.

From Target a $499.00 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner is on the wish list, along with your basic Dirt Devil Power Air-Stick Vac for $39.99. It's always a good idea to have a clean rug.

Gotta love that. 

Chris had his bachelor party in Vegas a while back with his baller homies LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade.  And we hear Jada just very recently had hers in Vegas as well and Bron's girlfriend Savannah Brinson was in tow.

Sounds like it's going to be a fabulous wedding.  An early CONGRATS to the couple!

BONUS: The couple recently vacayed in Miami for a little R&R and Chris tweeted this:

Cute!

 

 

OFF-SCREEN BENEFITS?: Tika Sumpter & Jason Derulo Out & About In NYC!

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 11:59 AM PDT

Well aren't these two looking fresh faced and cute?  Our fave YBF chick of the moment--actress Tika Sumpter--was spotted out and about with singer Jason Derulo in NYC yesterday.  The two hit the concrete jungle looking relaxed and like two good friends....for now.  The two did get a little steamy recently for Jason's new video "It Girl."

 

Peep pics of the twosome inside....

They may not be a couple...yet. Jason may be a little young for Tika.  But they would surely make a cute one.   And I'm not even a Jason Derulo fan. 

Still, the 28-year-old "Gossip Girl" actress and 21-year-old "Watcha Say" singer were spotted on their merry way in the City yesterday.  Tika rocked an uber cute country girl chic look with a spaghetti strapped floral sundress and cowboy boots.

And by the way, before you get too ahead of yourselves about the pics, Jason's people reached out to us a while back and told us he's on a marketing spree trying to cross over more into the urban culture for more YBF-type of fans.  So...yeah....

BONUS:

Tika's doing a photoshoot today in NYC with VIBE magazine along with LaLa Anthony.

Queen Latifah Set For "Dancing With The Stars?"

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 11:29 AM PDT

Is VH1's "Single Ladies" creator about to lend her hip-hop skills to "Dancing With The Stars?"  Sources are saying it's almost a done deal for Queen Latifah.

 

Deets inside...

Honestly never thought I'd see the day when Queen Latifah was fox trotting across the "Dancing With The Stars" ballroom floor.  But according to TMZ, she's about to sign a contract to do just that for the next season of the show.

"DWTS" is usually for the D-listers trying their damndest to move up a few notches.  Or for folks trying to get their swag back.  But I'm not sure Queen falls in either of these two categories.  Despite the show's producers saying earlier this year they want to amp up the quality of the cast of celebs for next season.  Will it be a good look for her?  Hmmm....

By the way, her competition, if she actually signs on the dotted line, will be Rob Kardashian and possibly Snooki and Tiffani Amber Thiessen.  We feelin' this?

MOVIE PREMIERE: Lisa Bonet, Zoe Kravitz, & HOTTIE Jason Momoa At The "Conan The Barbarian" Premiere

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 10:20 AM PDT

Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz came out last night to support Jason Momoa at the premiere of Conan The Barbarian. See pics of the beautiful folks showing all kinds of mushy love inside....

Last night, Lisa Bonet walked the red carpet with her longtime man (and her youngest daughter's father) Jason Momoa at the premiere of his Conan The Barbarian film at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. 

The film opens on August 19th with Jason starring as Conan.

The beautiful couple also posed with Jason's co-star Rose McGowan.

 

 

And the couple posed with Lisa's gorgeous daughter with Lenny Kravitz, actress Zoe Kravitz. 

Lisa and Zoe could be mistaken for sisters.  All that natural, organic living must be good for the skin.

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 09:47 AM PDT

 

"The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd is inviting her fans to her and Lamar Sally's wedding via a tv special set to air on The Style Network in September. Get the deets inside....

 

According to THR, Sherri Shepherd and tv writer Lamar Sally will invite tv viewers into their intimate wedding through a tv special called "Wedding Fabulous: Sherri Shepherd Gets Married" airing on the Style Network on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 9pmET.  The couple's actual wedding is tomorrow (Saturday).

And with the acutal wedding being this weekend, Sherri tweeted a few pics of her and Sal getting ready.

She tweeted that this isn't her actual wedding dress but she wanted to capture the moments from their "fittings."

She also tweeted pics of herself on the flight back home to Chicago (where the weding is taking place) and in her suite with her wedding planner and friends.

And if you want to know what they will be dancing to at the reception she recently said,

"Can't sleep... Downloaded 27 more songs... Cherrelle... Shalamar...The Whispers...Journey... Gotta go to the gym 2 justify the purchases"

Sounds fun!
