Bobbi Kris' (Ex?) Boyfriend Nick Gordon ARRESTED For WILD DRIVING!

Less than 24 hours after Bobbi Kristina totally wrecked her car outside of her Atlanta apartment complex, her boyfriend (possibly ex-boyfriend) Nick Gordon was arrested for his wild driving.

 

Deets inside...

This has got to be the worst driving couple of 2012.  Nick Gordon was arrested last night after driving extremely recklessly in a heavily populated area.  He was going at a speed of 82 in a 35 mph zone on Northpoint Freeway in Alpharetta, GA.  TMZ reports that their sources say this fortunately did not have a fatal ending:

One law enforcement source tells us, "We are fortunate because that's such a busy corridor with high end retail shopping restaurants and pedestrians at crosswalks."

The source adds, "At that speed, it's absolutely reckless."

Meanwhile, just hours before his arrest, Bobbi Kris crashed her car in an embankment right outside of her apartment complex.  She got a citation for "failure to maintain lane."  WTF is going on with these two?

Rihanna Emerges After Days Of Sickness...Cops HIS & HERS Rolexes With Chris Brown?

She's been locked up in her London hotel room for the last couple of days recovering from sickness after her performance on UK "X-Factor".   But around 2:30am this morning, Rihanna was spotted leaving her hotel room--chomping on an orange--after showing off her new celebratory Rolex she just got.  Interestingly, Chris Brown tweeted a pic of his brand new similar Rolex minutes later.  Hmmm....

Rihanna's stuffing her bod with healthy eats as she gets over her sickness from the last couple of days.  And she was spotted leaving 45 Park Lane – Dorchester Collection Hotel in London in the wee hours of the morning to hit the streets.  Not sure where she as off to, but it looks like she's regaining her strength.

Enough strength to celebrate her first #1 album in the U.S.  As her Unapologetic LP reached the top pf the charts here in the States, Rih tweeted a pic of her newest ultra expensive accessory--a Rolex watch.  She splashed a pic of it on Twitter last night saying:

'Don't believe me just watch #newtoy #justcusimnumber1 #roleylife #dopedealer,' she wrote.

And interestingly, around the same time, her ex who she's been reuniting with lately, Chris Brown, Instagrammed a pic (since he's still not back on Twitter after THIS drama) of his own new Rolex--which looks to be the male version of hers:

It sparked rumors of Chris copping the present for her (or with her), especially after he flashed another pic of his Rolex collection:

Can't be mad at that.  Nothing cheers up a chick like some expensive accessories..

 

The Randomness:

1.  In non YBF news, Lindsay Lohan was just released from the 10th Precinct in NYC after getting arrested AGAIN last night for punching a girl at a nightclub.  GET IT TOGETHER LINDSAY.  And must be nice to be able to get away with constant arrests with a couple minutes of jail time in her whole life.  STORY

2.  Halle Berry is secretly selling her L.A. mansion where the infamous Gabe vs. Olivier fight went down.  It's on the market for $15 mill.  STORY

3.  A man showed up at daughter's high school swinging a chain saying "Who's f*cking my daughter?!"  STORY

4.  In more non-YBF news, Jessica Simpson's people said they will not confirm--nor deny--that she's pregnant again.

 

 

Elle Varner CAUGHT IN THE COOKE JAR For "BLEU" Magazine, DISHES On Bullying And Getting "WHITE HOUSE" Approval

YBF chick Elle Varner dips in the cookie jar for the latest issue of BLEU Magazine.  Get the first look at photos from Elle's black & white vintage-feel shoot inside and see what she said about having fans at the White House. 

Photobucket

"I Don't Care" singer Elle Varner serves up the smizes in a restaurant themed-photoshoot for the latest issue BLEU Magazine.  Inside the mag, Elle talks about creating her quirky style and how she was teased for being different as a child.  Also, she revealed how she felt when she learned First Daughters Sasha and Malia were listening to her music.  

Here are the highlights:


On bullying and using music as an escape....

Music was my saving grace growing up. I was not an only child and had to constantly keep myself busy, but I was also teased a lot. I was heavy,nerdy, and happy …a perfect target for a bully. So I remember artists like Aaliyah, TLC, and even Spice Girls making me feel like I had these “friends” who understood me. I was also a huge fan of the 90’s Divas Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, and Celine Dion.

On using fashion as an art form

“I would describe my style as fun, unpredictable, and unique. I wear a lot of bows and glasses as accessories. I hear people say all the time only Elle would wear that. I don’t wear things for shock value, but more to express how I’m feeling that day and in that moment. “

On finding out that she has "fans" at the White House

“I couldn’t believe it. I thought at first that it was just a rumor but then I watched and it was definitely real. I was shocked but also very
proud that the White House approves my music for their precious daughters to listen to. I made an album that simply told my story and that it could be appreciated by both a 14-year-old girl and that girl’s Mother.”

On her definition of "fly"

“My definition of fly is an attitude and a way about you that can only come from within. It’s the way you treat people, the things you say and do, more than what you are wearing, driving, etc. It’s the love that surrounds you and the love you give. Yes, I’m a hippie at heart.”

NO MORE FUR: Wendy Williams GOES NAKED For PETA Ad Campaign

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 04:04 PM PST

She's changed up her lifestyle quite a bit since becoming a daytime tv star.  Now, Wendy Williams is telling the world she's also giving up her fur life.  And she's just gone totally naked for PETA's new "I'd Rather Go Naked" ad.

 

Check it out under the cut...

Wendy unveiled her hot new ad today in Times Square for PETA's new winter campaign.  And she's become a new spokesperson for the organization who is against the mistreatment of animals and people wearing animal fur.  Wendy, who once wore real mink and fox but had a change of heart after learning how animals are electrocuted, beaten, and even skinned alive for their fur, said today:

"We should all try to be comfortable in our own skin and let the animals keep theirs."

And the daytime diva has not one, but two nude ads where she's covering her lady lumps with nothing but her own wiggery and her fat wedding ring:

In addition to her ad, Williams will encourage her viewers to donate their fur coats to PETA so that they can be given to the homeless. PETA is working with shelters in Williams' home state of New Jersey on their coat drives this winter, which have seen greater demand as the numbers of the needy and displaced have increased after Hurricane Sandy.

Check out her behind the scenes shoot footage below:

You feelin' her ad campaign?

Bobbi Kristina & Boyfriend Nick BREAK UP, Bobbi WRECKS Her Camaro

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:09 PM PST

Photobucket

After all the hoopla surrounding their relationship, Bobbi Kris and her live-in boyfriend, Nick Gordon, have apparently called it quits.  That's not the only bad news, Krissy crashed her Camaro today, completely wrecking it right outside her ATL apartment.  Deets inside...

No more Bobbi Kris & Nick?  That's what it seems like.  Krissy's been tweeting some cryptic messages the last few days, talking about only being able to trust and rely on herself.  And these tweets come after Nick tweeted days ago that he and Bobbi Kris are not together at all:

@REALbkBrown and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been

Oh?  Krissy tweeted this week a few things that seemed a bit hard to make out grammatically, but we think we get what she was trying to say:

“I’m leaving, this this good ole town and driving to the send of the world. Maybe it’s beautiful there (: Xxxo”

“Who do I trust in this world? Pfft well that’s easy beezie, #Myself, No1 will kno’s me like ME&They’d rather not take thtchance2knoME, &2me. That’s incredibly fine .. Because you’d be missing out on a #REALperson. Xxo #amryofme #onmyown #goingtomakeit #determined. ”

“I guess it’s time 4me2stop depending on anymore. It’s my time2follow what Mom&The Lord put out on this path for me. #Thankful. Mom xxo.”

Oh the drama of youngins...

Meanwhile, today, Bobbi Kris was attempting to pull out of her apartment complex in Atlanta in her new Camaro (didn't she already wreck her old one?), when she skipped over a curb and "lost control of the car".  So her car was totally wrecked...after crashing into trees on a nearby trail:

Photobucket Photobucket 

Sigh.  Cops told TMZ that they don't believe drugs or alcohol played a role here.  Really?  All this while simply making a left out of a parking lot?  We beg to differ.  But what do we know?

Cops cited Bobbi Kris with a ticket for "Failure to maintain lane."  And she escaped the accident totally unscathed.  Horrible driver.  Lucky girl.

NeNe Pops Back At The HATERS & Asks Why Blacks Support Kim K. & Not HER + Amel Larrieux Preps A Comeback...With Groove Theory?

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 11:58 AM PST

NeNe Leakes has some words for the haters...especially those who are quick to support someone like successful-from-a-sex-tape chick Kim Kardashian, but completely critical of NeNe's talents & career.

 

Check out how she's calling out the black community, plus, how the talented Amel Larrieux is prepping for a comeback...

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe gave a telling interview to The Daily Beast about the hate she's received after covering the Power Issue of EBONY magazine.  Whether it was the fact she was being recognized as "powerful" or the pic of her in a tub of diamonds some called tacky--everybody had an opinion.

But the reality star let none of it get to her, an actually called folks to task for supporting sex-tape-comeuppance-publicity-hungry star Kim Kardashian....but not NeNe:

“It’s true and I know you’ve heard it a million times, [African Americans] just don’t support one another,” she says. “But it’s OK for you to go pick up a magazine cover with Kim Kardashian. She’s my girl. We are cool. We talk. We do drinks and all of that. But her story ain’t no different than mine. You know what I mean? I might’ve worked at the strip club, but she made a sex tape.”

NeNe also explained that the flack she caught for making EBONY's Power Issue cover, came mostly from the African American community.  But she's not letting the hate stop her one bit:

“I absolutely deserve to be on the cover...This cover is about money, power, and respect. And it’s about a come-up story and I’m the one that had that story this year … Not only did I come out as a reality star that was very boisterous and vivacious and outspoken and all those things. I flipped that into money and respect. And a lot of people can’t do that.

“But listen to me, definitely all of the negative feedback definitely came from my own; African Americans were the ones that were the most negative,” she continues, adding, “And it’s so funny to me because I would call [the editor] over at Ebony and she would say ‘Girl please, glass houses. That’s all it is. They don’t want to see you on the cover, they don’t really understand the reason why you’re on the cover, they don’t know your story.’”
 

We must say, chick has a few great points.  With her stints on hit tv shows "Glee" and "The New Normal," it's clear she does have actual talent as an actress.  And at some point, folks will possibly respect that and will not call her a famous for nothing chick with no talent--like some other people we know.

Check out The Daily Beast for the full interview.

And speaking of chicks with actual talent, Amel Larrieux is prepping for a comeback.  To push her current series of intimate concerts at NY's Blue Note Jazz Club (snapped above performing last night), Ms. Larrieux chatted up HuffPost's Black Voices about what she's been up to.  And if we can expect another Bryce Wilson hook-up for a Groove Theory reunion.

Is there a firm date set for the release of [your new solo album] “Ice Cream Everyday”?

Well, we almost regret when we give a release date, because one of the nice things about being independent is having the luxury of not really having deadlines. We make our own deadlines and then we break them all the time, because in the end, the finished product has to be something that we can really get behind. This time around, it’s just been a lot of editing and changing our minds and things like that. We didn’t want to have a disjointed product. So I won’t give a date anymore. I won’t ever do that again. [Laughs]

What are your thoughts on today’s crop of R&B singers?

I probably don’t listen to what you would consider “straight R&B.” It’s really weird because I feel like those lines have blurred a lot. I remember when Usher was “R&B,” but now he’s considered “Pop,” but that’s only because of what “popular” is, so I don’t know. For me, R&B is about Rhythm & Blues, so that would be a soul kind of singer. Though she is not commercially successful, I think Georgia Anne Muldrow is the best thing that has happened in the last decade. Her voice is R&B to me. But I don’t necessarily run into what would be considered mainstream R&B, but I don’t run away from it. When Drake sings to me he’s R&B, and I like Drake.

Do you feel that’s one of the challenges in releasing a new Groove Theory album?

The only reason we haven’t done anything is because we would like to be offered a good situation. So far, the offers that we’ve had aren’t what we’re looking for, because we both have other careers and stuff. For me, I’ll always write what I’ll write, but I would be interested in letting someone else write something for me [for a Groove Theory album], and I’m sure Bryce would let someone else produce something if the label thought it would be beneficial for us.

That has been the luxury of having my own independent career independent from the group. Where it’s like, I can do all of my things on my own and then go back to Groove Theory ... If someone is giving us a chunk of money then yes, they do have a say over how you should do things, which is the reason why I left a major label, I wanted to make my own decisions. But yes, I would be open to doing something more radio-friendly. And if I don’t like something, I’ll be the same girl who argued with her label before. [Laughs]

Have you and Bryce recorded any new material?

No, not Groove Theory wise. Almost two years ago Bryce and I did five nights in Tokyo, and this past summer we performed at the Blue Note Jazz Festival at Summer Stage. So we’ve done live stuff, but we’re not recording. He moves around a lot because he’s still pursuing his film career, so we’re not always in the same place. But it’s been nice to have the opportunity to go out and do live stuff. It’s a great way to have a second life.

Loves her.  We would love a Part 2 of "Tell Me" any day now.  Just sayin'....

FAKE CAKES?: Tyga's Baby Mama Blac Chyna Spotted With Seemingly UNREAL ASSets

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 10:26 AM PST

 Photobucket

Being one of the premiere strippers at King of Diamonds Miami led to her becoming the arm piece of YMCMB rapper Tyga...and then having his baby recently.  And if there was ever any doubt that Blac Chyna's ass was a creation of implants and/or injections after seeing her on the pole in videos and such...her post baby bod seems to be telling all...

Her 30+ inch lacefront wig and Alexander Wang lime green Rocco Mini Duffle bag can't hide all that booty. But now that we see how it's shaped on her post baby body, ish looks real....fake.  Blac Chyna was spotted doing some post-Thanksgiving shopping at The Grove in L.A. this week.  And this is what onlookers saw:

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Not everybody's ass is completely proportional...but damn.  These loud heel-less sneakers are just as tragic.  But hey, if these rappers like it, we love it.  Not really.  But you catch our drift...

 

By the way, this reminds us of this video that's been circulating the net showing a chick with FAILED butt implants:

Keep it real kids.
