WHAT SEXT CHEATING RUMORS?: Swizzy Tells YBF "I Love My Wife" & Cops Alicia A New Car For HIS Birthday, Alicia Builds Him A SKATING RINK!

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 08:29 AM PDT

With rumors flying that Swizz Beatz allegedly cheated on wife Alicia Keys recently based on some leaked text messages and an interview with the alleged other woman, the couple isn't letting it get them down.  Of course they're denying all allegations...and even going a step further and buying each other over-the-top gifts.

 

Check out what Swizzy exclusively told YBF last night about the cheating rumors, and what the twosome copped each other for Swizz's birthday....

 

TheYBF.com caught up with Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys last night at Jay-Z & Vanity Fair's book launch party for Steve Stoute at a private residence in NY's Meatpacking District (picture above is from July 2011).  When asked about the cheating rumors, Swizz simply responded, "All that matters is that I love my wife.  We don't play into all the foolishness.  I'm just trying to stay on my grind and they are always trying to bring me down."

The couple looked happy as pie together throughout the night--dancing it up and canoodling while chillin' alongside Jay, Beyonce, LaLa & Carmelo Anthony, Diddy, Andre Harrell, Serena Williams, and their other celeb friends.  Looks aren't everything, but time will tell....

Swizz revealed to us that for his birthday yesterday, Alicia had a roller skating rink built for him in the middle of Manhattan!

Meanwhile, Swizz recently tweeted the present he bought his wife...for HIS birthday.  A tricked out pink Lotus car (above), as he is the Vice President of Creative Design and Global Marketing for the British sports car company.  He tweeted: "...best part of my Bday was my gift to my wife because my Bday is her Bday"

Some say it's a make-up gift.  Some say it's just a sweet show of love.  Like we always say, time will tell....

We've got the pics inside...

Celebs stopped to pose in front of tons of flowers in the grand flagship store of Tory Burch last night.  Bey rocked a black maxi dress with dress with a leather top portion and cut out sides and back.  Gorgeous look.

Serena Williams rocked a figure hugging little black dress and a leather jacket.

 

And Paula Patton rocked this cute Tory Burch white and tangerine shift dress with embellishments along the trim:

Very cute.  Fab looks all around.

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 03:20 PM PDT

Maxwell is clearly living it up these days.  He was spotted out and about with a mystery woman who he just couldn't seem to let go of recently.

 

Pics of him, plus Mel B. out and about with baby Madison Brown for the first time inside...

Maxwell had a good little night out in NYC last night with this chick it seems:

Well since he isn't in the studio much these days, guess you gotta find something to occupy your time.

 

And over in L.A., Mel B. popped up for the first time since giving birth to little Madison Brown less than 2 weeks ago:

 

Aww can't wait till she shows the baby.

And later on, a change of clothes and out with her hubby Stephen:

Reportedly she was getting paperwork for her baby's new passport.  Sweet!

IT'S A BOY! BED-RIDDEN Fantasia REVEALS That She's Got A Son On The Way!

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 01:44 PM PDT

Fantasia's upcoming delivery may have her confined to bed rest, but that won't stop her and her family from throwing a party! 

 

The "Bittersweet" singer is set to have a baby shower next month and we have the little detail that she revealed on the invites inside.....

Down in Charlotte, NC on October 1, Fanny, Teeny,  Aunt Bunny (Chile please!) and the rest of the family are having a big baby shower to celebrate the upcoming birth of the singer's second child.

And S2S is  reporting that Fantasia is set to deliver a baby boy.  How did she reveal the news?  She cleverly dropped a line on the invite that read, "It's a Boy."

Whether you feel some kind of way about the circumstances or not, Fantasia has had a helluva ride the past year or so.  With the torrid affair, the suicide attempt and now the pregnancy, she has a lot to sing about and I'm sure that next album will be full of passion.  Babies are always a blessing.  Congrats Fanny!

 

 

The Randomness

2. T.I. forbidden from appealing decision to send him BACK to prison. Story.
