"Love & Hip Hop" creator, Mona Scott-Young, chatted with Justthefab.com where she revealed she is currently casting for the Atlanta version of the hit series.  Though she wouldn't name names, she said that she is excited about the series and it will stay true to the "Atlanta" feel. 

When asked about the Chrissy and Jim Jones situation, Mona said she adores Chrissy but thinks the toll of having the camera expose intimate details of her life was overwhelming.  She added, "Right now I'm giving her some time and Im hoping things will calm down and she'll feel a little bit better." SIDEBAR:  Seems like Chrissy isn't on board for season 3 yet!

When asked about Yandy, she said she thinks Yandy grew from the rollercoaster experience but admits it did have some serious repercussions for her (e.g. ending her business relationship with Jim).

Kanye West Goes DARK & EDGY For His Fall/Winter 2012 Collection For Paris Fashion Week

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 02:51 PM PST

Oh what a difference a year makes.  Kanye West returned to the runway tonight at Paris Fashion Week.  The guru rapper/producer proved if you give him a chance, he can hold his own in fashion as well.

 

Kanye revealed his brand new Fall/Winter 2012 collection tonight with his celebrity and designer friends in tow.  Pics inside from the show...

In a much improved (from his first attempt) collection, Kanye (above after his show with VOGUE's Anna Dello Russo) showed a polished, structured, luxe, edgy with sex appeal theme. Tall banded leather boots and sheer and cut-out booties accompanied all of his looks.  And his recent work with Givenchy (many of Kanye's WTT tour clothes were made with the deisgner) clearly showed through in Kanye's second collection.

Diddy and Cassie sat together front row, of course. 

Cassie kicked it with Sky Ferreira and Ricardo Ticci.

This Diddy stance. Oh hey Shyne.
 

Kim Kardashian (front row with Big Sean) flew in for the show and rocked her Giussepe Zanotti for Kanye West shoes.  Also in attendance: Waka Flocka (yeah, you read that right), Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Azzedine Alaia, Christopher Kane, Ron Burkle, Ricardo Tisci (designer and Creative Director for Givenchy), Guiseppe Zanotti, and Silvia Fendi.

 

Alicia Keys chatted up Rosario Dawson.  We peep Common too.


And her hubby Swizzy and Diddy snapped some Instagram pics.

Teyana Taylor also flew out for the event.

Models Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn hit the runway.  Here's the rest of the 20 total looks:


 

Very nice.

 

Azealia Banks and Big Sean are currently performing at Mr. West's after party.

 

BONUS: Taylor Swift rocked a black leather embossed Kanye West top (under a colorful Maison Martin Margiela rug cape) for her new April 2012 Harper's Bazaar Australia cover. It's from his debut collection from last year. Interesting....

GOOD RAPPER BAD RAPPER: The Game SPITS On Fans, Woman Groped On Stage + Waka Flocka DEFENDS Animals For PETA

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 02:42 PM PST

Rappers have their good days and bad days.  Recently, The Game showed some bad behavior when he spits on a set of fans in one video and then allowed his friends to grope and unwilling female fan on another. 

See the video inside and see Waka Flocka being a good rapper as he hooks up with PETA again to defend the rights of dogs and other animals.

What's wrong with The Game?  He was recently caught spitting on some fans at the Bourbon Bar nightclub in Australia over the weekend. And then his crew groping a chick on stage at another concert stop overseas.

Well, a group of girls were trying to get his attention and when he approached the girls, he spit towards them.

Brydie McCreadie, 19, who filmed the video said,

"I was like, 'whoa'. At first I wasn't sure if he was spitting at me.  He was sitting there drinking. We were all a bit drunk. I think they were just excited to see him." 

She then said he took off his gold chain.  "I think he was about to start a fight or look tough," Brydie said.

Peep the vid:

 

Now, video has emerged of Game urging an unwilling female fan to show her breasts at a show in Adelaide before his friends grope her and eventually push her off stage.  Yes, some folks will ask why she put herself in the lion's den in the first place.  But there's really no excuse for this.  Whether she's black, white, or whatever...

 

 

And just when you thought all rappers had lost their marbles:

 

"Round of Applause" rapper Waka Flocka Flame took a break from his PETA photo shoot to talk about the joys and responsibilities of caring for a dog.  And also, he talked about dogfighting and spoke against anyone who supports it.

Well isn't that sweet seeing his sensitive side.

Kenya Bell POPS OFF On The "Hating Heffas" On Basketball Wives

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 11:35 AM PST

Newbie "Basketball Wives" star Kenya Bell is going off about last night's (Monday's) episode.  And she is extra pissy about the other cast members talking ish behind her back.  Check out whay she had to say about why she was unprepared for her meeting, the weave and all the other drama...

Kenya Bell called into Detroit’s COCO, Foolish & Mr. Chase's morning show on FM98 to talk about all the beef and foolishness on last night's episode.

The Detroit native started off the interview by saying she is "mad as hell with these hot-ass-mess-chicks. These heffas is hating! We film and you don’t know what people are saying behind your back. So it’s like ‘wow... really?’ It’s crazy!"

 

On why she appeared so unprepared for the meeting with Tami:

"That was not like a music managing group. Tami's team is a design team. All they do is basically style and pictures. They really don’t do anything with music they just wanted to hear my song… they weren’t a music group or anything like that. They basically just do photos and styling for an album cover, etc…"

On her coat Tami called a "peasant coat"

Kenya said it was actually a Save the Queen coat that costs about $3,000.

On being a trending topic on Twitter

“Third week in a row! So I was just like, 'Yall hate is making me great'”

On if she'll come back for another season:

“I don’t know... we’ll see how it all ends up. I'm just the new girl and there's new girls every year. They just go in on the new girl. My pageant history has given me the confidence where I can hear people talk mess and say whatever and I can still see myself how I see myself as a beautiful talented smart person who is goal orientated and driven.”

Check out the interview in full below:

And a clip from last night's episode of the beef between Kenya & Kesha:
