Teyana Taylor COVERS "VIBE Vixen" Fashion Issue, Dishes On Lesbian Rumors & Lessons From 2 Chainz

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 09:42 AM PDT

Teyana Taylor covers VIBE Vixen's debut Fashion Issue were she dishes on lessons learned from her G.O.O.D. Music homie 2 Chainz, being a role model and learning to not let lesbian & non-virgin rumors get to her. Get cover and highlights inside...

Singer/actress Teyana Taylor stars in the VIBE Vixen Fashion issue as the hot cover girl.  And she's telling what it's like getting spoiled by her labelmates on G.O.O.D. music and things she's learned from 2 Chainz. The "Her Room" remixer also dished on how her choice of attire has caused folks to make comments about her sexuality.  Here are the highlights:

 

Teyana on what she's learned from 2 Chainz:

He's the closest to my situation. Being signed to another great person before coming to Def Jam, the situation is not really working in your favor and now look. He's showing me that everything is about timing, so don't ever think that your time is not going to come. My season is coming up soon.

Teyana on her relationship with the fellas from G.O.O.D. Music:

All of them play all day, and I love that. With work ,everyone is down to business. It's good that everyone has a serious side but also a sense of humor. It definitely makes work fun. That's the good thing about working with the boys. They spoil you. I'm a spoiled brat [laughs].

Teyana on being a role model:

I do think the way I dress and the way I brand myself--I'm very proud of myself that I can inspire young girls. If you have a body, embrace it. You ain't always got to be sexy. Sometimes less is more. Like less make up is more. If I want to be in Jordans, a half top and shorts then that's what I'm going to wear. Call me gay, call me what you want to...And now everybody is doing it.

Teyana on being judged by her fashions:

I feel like I'm at a point where I don't have to do that anymore. Once I got older and matured more, it was still a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. When I was dressed in my streetwear, I was gay. Then, I do one shoot, show some skin and now I'm not a virgin. I can't win for losing.

 

Teyana is working on her own music and will be dropping some new ish soon.  The full article will be available in VIBE Vixen tomorrow.

 

KIM KIM: Lil Kim Performs At Fashion Week + Kanye West Says He Sexed Other Chicks While Watching Kim K.'s Sex Tape

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 08:49 AM PDT

Lil Kim isn't just attending the Fashion Week shows in NYC, but she's performing as well.  Check the video of her hitting the stage at Opening Ceremony's 10th Anniversary party, plus Kanye West talks about how HIS Kim helped him sex other chicks...

Over at Webster Hall, Lil Kim took the stage as Opening Ceremony's clothing company's surprise guest.  She turned up the audience with "Crush On You."  And in the audience: M.I.A., A$AP Rocky, Paris Hilton, and Chloë Sevigny.

Check out a snippet of her performance above.

 

And in other "Kim" news, Kanye West (either his camp or Kim's camp sent TMZ this info we're sure) told folks he watched now girlfriend Kim K.'s sex tape while he was sexing other chicks.  Apparently, chick lying in bed like a board turns him on.  But nonetheless, Kanye said he used the Kim K. Superstar tape to get in the mood and to get it in with other chicks.  That explains why he's been trying to get at her for years now.

So now that he has his own Kimmy K....he no longer needs that tape we guess.  But didn't Kanye previously say he never saw the tape?  Interesting...

Jennifer Hudson Tells Oprah She FORGIVES Family's MURDERER, Says "He NEVER Had A Chance"

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 08:09 AM PDT

Last night, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the shocking murders of her family members and revealed that she's forgiven William Balfour for the crime. Get the deets and full video inside...

 

Jennifer Hudson appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter last night where she talked very openly about th tragic murders of her family members, how her life changed after her dramatic weight loss and her dream to have a daughter.   The interview was shot at her gorgeous apartment in Chicago (overlooking Lake Michigan and the city) where she was joined by sister Julia and fiance David Otunga.  Here on the highlights:

 

On forgiving William Balfour:

She says she has forgiven him.  "For the most part it's not his fault.  It's like what he was taught and how he was brought up...he never had a chance."

On grief and the death of her mother, brother and nephew:

"There were so many shocks involved in it. Like, who I do grieve for first or who do I start with? Of course I'm going to think of my mother because it's my mother. I think of her a lot.mmNext I think of Julian (nephew) or my brother. I have moments where it's bits and pieces."

On visiting the grave site:

I haven't been to the grave site since we buried them. But now I want to go because I feel like we've accomplished this. We've done this. We got justice for you. I can't come back here empty handed. I've came back with just being served,"

On the wedding and expanding their family:

Jen was mum about details but revealed she and David have a date for the wedding.  When it came to their family, David said they want a little girl to play with son David Jr.. '"We definitely want to have one of each."  Jennifer added, "That's the next part of the dream."

On Hollywood...before the weight loss:

"Already I had lost like 60 pounds then, I was exercising everyday I got down to a size 12 and I got to Hollywood and they were like, 'How do you feel being the big girl?' And I was like, 'Who are they talking to?' I literally looked around like this is normal, this is fine, this is average, where I come from it's totally fine, so I couldn't understand."

On body image and insecurity:

"Another one they would say is 'Do you feel insecure being a big girl?' And I thought, 'Why should I feel insecure?' I remember saying 'I have the height of a model, lips people pay for, things like that.'"

On lip injections:

"When I did Dreamgirls I actually had to get my dent right here injected because it was affecting the lighting," she says pointing at her top lip. "And when I got it done, the doctor was like 'I do not want to do this. Do you realize people come in here and pay to have the lips you have naturally.' And I was like, 'I don't want to but I have to for the movie!'"

WINNING: Serena Williams Cops 4th U.S. Open Crown! + Venus Williams Cops New Cuban Boyfriend

Posted: 09 Sep 2012 07:08 PM PDT

Serena Williams is on a winning streak.  Tonight (Sunday) at the USTA Billie Jean King Center in Flushing Meadows, NY, the Olympic Gold Medalist copped her 4th U.S. Open Crown.  Deets and pics inside of the champ, plus what her tennis pro sister just "won" as well...

 

It's a celebration!  30-year-old Serena seems unbeatable these days as she knocked off No. 1 seed Victoria Azarenka Sunday night to become the champion of the U.S. Open.

And what does the Champ win exactly?  A shiny new trophy, bragging rights, and a FAT check for $1.86 million.

Serena said after the win: "Oh my God, I honestly can't believe I won.  I was really preparing my runners-up speech because she was just playing great."

From Wimbledon to the Olympics to her 4th U.S. Open Crown...this YBF chick is on fire.   And by the way, Serena is only the 3rd woman history to win Wimbledon, Olympic gold and the US Open in the same season.  The others: Her older sister Venus and German great Steffi Graf.

 

 

Meanwhile, her big sister Venus Williams has a new man:

People.com reports Venus' new man is hottie Cuban model Elio Pis.  Rumors last week had her paired with an Italian businessman named "Enrico," but based in the new and more credible info--plus this pic of them holding hands at a recent U.S. Open match, we're going with the model.

Will he be accompanying her to her EleVen fashion line showing at NY Fashion Week this upcoming week?  Hmmm....

He's 24, she's 32.  Get it Venus!

 

The Randomness:

1.  Chad Johnson says he refuses to sign the divorce papers.  STORY

2.  "Basketball Wife" Kenya Bell just scored BIG in her divorce settlement--she gets half her hubby's cash, two houses and half the future cash and investments. STORY

TheYBF.com hit the 2012 MTV VMA red carpet where Charlamagne and his homie Lil Duval had some interesting & hilarious opinions about Kim K. & Kanye.  Plus, our L.A. correspondent Kourtney Richard got some other red carpet scoop: Karlie Redd hinted she may be back with Benzino, there's a new cast member getting added to "Hollywood Exes" for season 2, Gabby Douglas' fave rapper and more. Here are the highlights:

MTV2's "Guy Code" Castmates (pictured above)

Charlamagne said Kanye didn't bring Kim to the awards because she's a ho who's dated a lot of rappers (and black guys who are non rappers for that matter).  He added that Kim's vagina is the only thing in the world as big as Kanye's ego!  Lil' Duval snapped that if Amber Rose ever greeted Kim K. she'd say, "Hey hoe."

"Love & Hip Hop ATL" star Karlie Redd

The reality star said that "LAHH ATL" fans are so hardcore that they actually go through her trash!  She also encouraged fans to buy her "Girl Has Needs" single on iTunes.  She added that she and Benzino are working together AND working on their relationship. 

Travis Winfrey & Charity Shea

The "Single Ladies" stars chatted it up and Travis revealed that he is not gay in real life.  Charity talked about the Pretty Perfect movie she recently shot and dyed her hair for.

Andrea Kelly & Mayte (pictured above)

The "Hollywood Exes" stars revealed that a new character has been added to the show. Though they remained mum on the name, they revealed she's entertainment royalty and we will love her. Can't wait!

ON THE SCENE: Jackie Christie Taps "Basketball Wives LA" Co-Stars To Model For Her NY Fashion Week COLLECTION

Posted: 09 Sep 2012 11:43 AM PDT

TheYBF.com was on the scene for "Basketball Wives: L.A." star Jackie Christie's showing of her new clothing line for New York Fashion Week.  And it seems she's made nice with her co-stars after last season's drama.

 

Check the pics inside--with the risque clothing--and find out which one of the BBW's Jackie says she wants to be the face of her line....

Jackie Christie, who snapped a pic with Elise Neal above, is gearing up for Season 2 of "Basketball Wives: L.A."  And the reality chick put her new clothing line, "The Jackie Christie Collection" on front street off-site at the Helen Mills Event Space Saturday night.  We've got pics from her Spring/Summer 2013 Pure Beauty Collection debut.

Backstage, co-stars & sisters Laura & Gloria Govan rocked looks from Jackie's collection before they took the runway.  And clearly, Ms. Laura is far from shy from showing off her brand new post-4-babies bod.  She slipped on a nude sheer lace high neck dress with nude Louboutin pumps.  While Gloria showcased the metallic blue and silver plunging neck evening gown.

The newbie of the group, Brooke Bailey, was also in the show.

Laura hit the runway showing off all her assets.

Glo did her best model walk.

Draya Michele rocked Jackie's bright blouse and cheetah print short shorts to hit the runway.

Newbie Brooke Bailey hit Jackie's runway too.

And co-star Malyasia Pargo was the finale look in a gold trench coat, dramatic makeup and Giuseppe Zanotti spiked booties.

When asked about the upcoming season of "BBW LA," Jackie told us that she can't reveal anything, but there's even more drama than last year.  But the girls are all working to mend relationships.  Is that possible?

About her fashion line, Jackie said it can be worn by all women--one that crosses nationalities and sizes.

And leave it to Jackie to say, "Being at NY Fashion Week is a life long dream! But I dor it for the people."

Interestingly, when asked about which of her co-stars she would have as the face of her line, she chose Malaysia.

"Her fearless attitude paired with fierceness and a Leo spirit would make her the perfect person. All the wives are fierce."

By the way, her husband who's usually attached at her hip, Doug Christie, was not in attendance because he is preparing to be an NBA coach!
