PICS: Birthday Girl Angela Simmons GETS CLOSE With Ex Bow Wow On The Beach

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 09:42 AM PDT

Birthday girl Angela Simmons spent the afternoon of her 24th b-day yesterday rocking a multicolor & white string bikini on Miami Beach. But she wasn't alone. Her ex Bow Wow popped up to wish her Happy Birthday. After he partied with her a couple nights before.

Peep the pics of Angie and Bow looking pretty snuggly after the cut...

After playing paddle ball with her friends, Angela met up with rapper/actor Bow Wow. The twosome, who broke up after Bow got a video chick pregnant, cuddled, locked hands and whispered to each other as the sun went down. How romantic....

Angela tweeted yesterday: 'I love my flowers from my daddy and ma .. :) - Today's a great day!!' Cute bikini.

SPOTTED: Kelis Hits The Stage And The Front Row At London's Fashion Week

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 09:09 AM PDT

Kelis is taking London's Fashion Week by storm, sitting front row at the shows and managing to rock a new "look" each time she is photographed. See pictures of Kelis and her various fashion week frocks inside....

On Friday, Kelis was spotted front row at the Unique Fashion Show, during London's Fashion Week.

And on Saturday, she was seen at the Vivienne Westwood Fashion Show in this interesting print and metallic combo.

She sat next to Tallulah Adeyemi at the next show.

Interesting plaid pants for this LOOK show.

After the LOOK show, Kelis switched into a Roberto Cavalli number and rushed out to the launch of the latest Roberto Cavalli store. The vampy makeup look is just not for her.

And after walking the red carpet, she switched outfits AGAIN and hit the stage to perform for the crowd gathered at the store.

She performed for the crowd in this uber fitted sequin top and pants look.

But before she left the Cavalli event, she switched up her attire again, this time wearing a shirt to celebrate the legacy of Alexander McQueen.

And on Sunday, she attended the Mulberry Salon Fashion Show after party.

These neon green detailed shoes. Though it looks at though Kelis enjoyed herself, it wasn't all fun and games as she recently vented on Twitter about a man calling her a "slave" at the UK airport.

WHAT'S BEEF! Ray-J POPS OFF During Interview About SMACKING UP FABOLOUS This Weekend!

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 08:24 AM PDT

Showing off his "gangsta side," Ray J called into "The Breakfast Club" this morning to pop off about punching Fabolous in the face during a brawl the two had in Las Vegas this weekend. Listen to Ray J fire warning shots and threaten Fabolous inside....

Brace yourself for another East Coast vs. West Coast beef....this time it involves Fabolous and Ray J. Yeah we barely believe either of them ourselves.

Ray-J called into "The Breakfast Club" this morning on Power 105 to discuss getting kicked out of The Palms Hotel after the fight he had with Fabolous in Las Vegas over the weekend. Of course, they were both there for the Mayweather vs. Ortiz fight.

But if the rapper/singer fight itself wasn't enough, you'll be SHOCKED to hear Ray-J going off in the interview.

He first called Fabolous the "F" word (emotional much?), then Ray descends into a profanity-laced conversation where he talks about how he smacked the rapper in the face for disrespecting him. During the interview, Ray threatens Fab and tells him to stay off the West Coast!

The interview itself is a little disturbing because Ray's "greasy" talk is that kind of mess that gets folks shot. Among the many many unprintable lines, when asked about Fabolous, Ray said "I'm not playing games. F*ck that N*gga. And niccas saying Ray-J got beat up?! I socked that nicca in the face! These b*tch ass niccas..."

Ray said "He's running from me right now! He wouldn't even leave the club. He scared." He also revealed that "his homies" saved Fab's life before so he's mad Fab is trying to disrespect him. And that Fab never headbutted him.

So how did all this start? A few days ago Fabolous said on Twitter,

"Nah but Floyd saying we havin a concert in my living room & the camera cuts to Ray J singing "One Wish" on the piano had me in tears!!

Get it..? Ray J concert in the living room!! *Lil Wayne voice*"

So Ray J and his camp took this as a diss.

Sigh...these are grown men with public personas and lots of fans. I hope they squash this silly beef before anyone gets hurt. Or slapped even harder....

Listen to Ray J's "gangsta moment" here:

I can't believe Fab let Ray-J slap him up...AND go on the radio and talk about it. SMDH....

Fashion Guru June Ambrose Heads To VH1 For "The June Ambrose Project"!

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 07:40 AM PDT

We exclusively told you last year one of YBF's fave fashion gurus and stylists, June Ambrose, was set to shoot a pilot for her own docu-reality show for VH1. And now it's official. The network just confirmed the show will premiere early 2012! Deets inside...

VH1 grabbed up one of the queens of celebrity style, June Ambrose, to give them one of their first fashion docu-reality shows.

“The June Ambrose Project,” (working title) a half-hour docu-series, is scheduled to premiere in early 2012.

June, who has a son, Chance, and daughter, Summer, with her hubby Marc, has been styling and designing wardrobe for over 20 years for A-list folks like Sean Combs, Alicia Keys, Kelly Ripa, Kim Cattrall, Jay Z, and Mary J Blige. So we may just get to see her in action with some of these folks.

Here's the breakdown of the show from VH1:

In “The June Ambrose Project,” June and her team of tireless assistants will take on a mix of up-and-coming and established celebrity clients – some actors, some musicians -- who would like to re-imagine their looks and brands. Each episode will chronicle an image makeover and overall rebranding, culminating in a visually stunning event designed to focus on the celebrity’s new look.

In addition to makeovers, viewers will get to see how June juggles her family life, CEO of her celebrity styling house Mode Squad and her burgeoning empire. Adding to June’s to-do list is a record label, books and a plethora of assignments ranging from celebrity clients, fashion shows and photo shoots to emergency style interventions for friends she can never turn down.

“We at VH1 are so thrilled to dive into the fashion world with none other than the industry’s top styling icon, June Ambrose,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, Original Programming and Production VH1. “June is a true original and a creative force of nature who will offer our viewers an exclusive peek behind the curtain into her world of celeb fashion and branding.”

Excited yet? We for damn sure are....

Swizz Beatz Strikes A Child Support Deal With Russian (Who Lives In The UK) Baby Mama

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 06:40 AM PDT

Swizz Beatz has reached an out-of-court settlement with his Russian baby mama who is based in the UK. Deets on the drama surrounding his 3-year-old baby girl Nicole inside....

Zhanna Andrianova, mother of Swizzy's 3-year-old daughter Nicole, has been going back-and-forth in court over child support. And Swizzy's lawyer maintains that Mr. Dean supports all 4 of his children that he has with 4 different women.

Before marrying Alicia Keys in July 2010, Zhanna, who is a singer, made it known that baby Nicole was indeed Swizzy's baby and she would be handling what's best for their baby.

Accoring to the NY Post, "Lawyers for Andrianova say Beatz also agreed to pay her $42,000 legal fees as part of the settlement, signed by him in July and her in August, and a judge at Manhattan Family Court granted them a money judgment Thursday to pursue payment, which could have resulted in his assets being seized or bank accounts frozen. Following this, a check for full payment was sent by Beatz to her lawyer, divorce attorney Raoul Felder on Friday.

We're sure her actual child support payments, which Swizz has reportedly been paying interim payments of, are mighty hefty. The actual settlement was delayed until now because Zhanna was unable to travel to the US for court appearances.

GROSS! Christina Milian TOSSES Her Cookies After Restaurant Serves Her A Salad With Chewed Gum Inside!

Christina Milian is considering legal action against a restaurant in Cali that served her a Kobe beef salad with a side of chewed gum! Get the deets on Christina's stomach-turning incident inside.....

When Christina Milian popped in for dinner at Mexicali restaurant in Studio City last week, she ordered a Kobe beef salad and bit off more that she could "chew."

Sources close to the "Dip It Low" singer, said she bit into her salad and after noticing something chewy in her mouth, she saw she had gotten a mouthful of ABC gum!

In complete disgust, she ran to the restroom to throw up.

SMH.... Although the restaurant comped her meal, Christina filed a complaint with the L.A. Department of Health and is now considering legal action.

She told TMZ,

"The most important thing to me is to make sure my health is okay. Ever since the incident I have not eaten out."

Ewwww.......one has to wonder, whose gum was it?
