| Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:44 AM PDT Grammy-winning singer Cissy Houston has penned an open letter to her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina, expressing her love and letting her know that she will always love her. Read the letter inside....
Previously, we told you that Bobbi Kristina had been upset with with her grandmother Cissy Houston for penning Remembering Whitney, and the two hadn't spoken in months. Yesterday, Cissy released an open letter to Bobbi Kristina letting her know that she misses her and only wants what's best. She added that she's not excited about her marrying Nick Gordon, but would never speak in a negative manner about their relationship in public. Here's her letter......
You can feel the pain and heartbreak in Cissy's words. We hope that this will lead Bobbi Kristina to put their differences aside and reach out to her.

| KISS KISS: Tyra Banks & BOW WOW's Mini Slob-Down Session On "106 & Park" Posted: 01 Aug 2013 06:35 AM PDT Another day, another kiss between Tyra Banks and...BOW WOW. Yep, Mr. 106 had a mini slob down session with the hot "ANTM" host on "106 & Park" last night. In case you missed it, we've got the full recap inside... First things first--back in 2009, Bow Wow went on Tyra's talk show and locked lips with the super model for whatever reason. Fast forward to last night, Ty Ty hit "106 & Park" to promote the upcoming cycle of "Top Model" with Bow and guest co-host Keshia Chante. And Ms. Banks' curvalicious ridiculously stunning presence had Bow Wow all in a tizzy. So when Tyra asked if they should remix their previous national tv kiss, she moved in, swung her legs on top of Bow, and went in. Well... Check out the video above. That's one way to promote your show.
Bow also reacted to the "big kiss" backstage and said he truly feels like the HOTTEST host on tv. He and Tyra had already kissed on national tv on HER show a while back, and since she came to his house....and kicked off another kiss....he's going to ride his high horse. Check out what he had to say about it below:

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:07 PM PDT Following a failed double-ring ceremony, Stevie J has been tweeting about "marriage" and hinting at a spinoff show. Get the deets on what's going on and what went down inside the "LAHH ATL" reunion taping in New York before it airs! TheYBF.com was live on the scene for the taping of the LAHH ATL reunion and we saw first hand what went down with Stevie J, Joseline and Mimi Faust. Fans of the show will recall that the season finale of "LAHH ATL" saw Stevie J presenting Joseline with a "lifetime partnership" ring and offering Mimi a "lifetime friendship" ring. This, of course, led to Joseline attemping to assault Stevie.... At the reunion taping in NYC a few weeks ago, tensions were still high with several incidents between the ladies on Stevie J's bus and Mimi's new man Nikko. At one point, a shoe was thrown and Joseline & mimi went at it. Also, Stevie "made it rain" on Nikko, and we all know what that disrespect led to. And though Stevie was still seen wearing the ring that Joseline gave him, we're not totally sure where their relationship stands (and he wouldn't comment on their engagement).
However, thanks to a recent tweet, we suspect Stevie J has something up his sleeves.... And during a recent interview with Power 107.5, Stevie hinted that he and Joseline were in talks for a spin-off show. “Well, yeah, absolutely. We really appreciate the ‘Love and Hip Hop’ the franchise and you know, we’re definitely in discussions about the spin-off right now.” So...we're not sure what Mona Scott Young has in store for Stevie and Joseline but clearly, they aren't going anywhere.
In case you missed it, watch Stevie J give both Joseline and Mimi "rings":

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 03:27 PM PDT The OMG Girlz just released their newest music video. Check out the girls flaunting their dance moves to "Baddie", Nelly and co. in "Get Like Me", plus the brand new trailer for the new season of "Tamar & Vince".... Nelly just dropped his video for "Get Like Me" featuring Pharrell & Nicki Minaj. His upcoming M.O. album is due out this fall, so he's giving us a sleek new Colin Tilley-directed black & white vid to promote the track. Trey Songz, T.I., Nelly Furtado, Future and Florida Georgia Line will also appear on Nelly's upcoming LP. Peep the vid above.
Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is still pushing her girl group "OMG Girlz" to be the next big stars in girl group-dom. Her daughter Zonnique "Star" Pullins, along with Breaunna "Baby Doll" Womack and Bahja "Beauty" Rodriguez are prepping to release their new EP Labor Day weekend via T.I.'s Pretty Hustle label. So the girls, who say they push the kiddies to stay in school and maintain positive images, just hit up "106 & Park" to drop off their brand new video for their single "Baddie." Now that the girls are all grown and mostly out of high school they're giving out a little more grown up vibe, but they still keep the rainbow of colors and quirky fashions front and center. Check out their twerk, rap & singing skills in their brand new video above.
And season 2 of "Tamar & Vince" is on the way (September 5th). So the first look at what to expect has just hit the net. With a brand new third family member now sealing the show, we get to see how Vince Herbert & Tamar Braxton adjust to life with baby Logan, their marital woes, and more. Check out the trailer above. The shows airs next Thursday on WeTV at 9p ET.  |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 01:36 PM PDT Singer Ciara's latest disc "Ciara" popped up a part of a GROUPON discount and it's outraged her fans! Find out about the "Ciara" discount inside and get the deets on Ashanti's delayed album. In case you haven't scooped up your copy of Ciara's latest album, it's now available as part of a package deal on GROUPON, which will also get you a copy of her greatest hits. While getting two cds for the price of one seems like it would be a good thing for the consumer, fans and critics of Cici are dragging her on social media. You'll recall that Ciara was on the receiving end of a lot of criticism after her Fantasy Ride disc was given away during a KFC promotion.....and now this! When Ciara was first released, the "I'm Out" singer sold nearly 60,000 copies. And the GROUPON deal should help the singer sell more albums and reach more people...so it's that a good thing right? Of course, this is not in the same vein as Jay Z's $20 mill Samsung deal, and we indeed thought this was a joke when we saw it last night. But, it's real. And the promotion does actually make sense. For her. Don't ya think?
In other music news... Fans of Ashanti will have to wait a little longer to hear the NY chick's Braveheart disc. The singer revealed that she's decided to delay releasing the album via Instagram saying,
Braveheart is expected to feature Busta Rhymes, Meek Mill, French Montana, Keyshia Cole and R. Kelly.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:48 PM PDT Dwyane Wade is being forced by the court to hand over his two boys, Zaire & Zion, to their mother Siohvaughn Wade....for visitation. Sounds like he didn't trust sending them to moms with her latest stints and all.
Deets inside, plus what Tatyana Ali says about those rumors about her and her crush, Drake.... Miami Heat champ Dwyane Wade's been almost all his off-season time with his two sons (pictured above this past weekend on Daddy-Son day). But that daddy-son time is about to be interrupted. Remember earlier this month when Siohvaughn hit the streets of downtown Chicago looking like a homeless person and holding up signs claiming she was, in fact, homeless because her NBA ex-husband stole her life from under her? Well, Dwyane obviously didn't take kindly to it. So he took away her visitation rights last week by not delivering the boys to her as scheduled. According to the custody docs, Sioh gets the boys every other weekend, and two weeks during the summer. But last week, D had his lawyers filed an emergency suspension on visitation (we're sure the antics above had everything to do with that). And they requested that she get a psychological evaluation for her "anger management issues." This is where we would typically say cheating can indeed drive a woman crazy and unable to "manage her anger," but we digress. According to Gossip Extra, the 3-hour hearing took place today in Miami--with neither Dwyane nor Sioh present. And the judge ordered him to hand over the boys. “They (Wade’s legal team) didn’t have a sufficient legal basis to justify the suspension of Siohvaughn’s visitation schedule,” said Lisa Macci, Funches’ attorney. Sioh did spend Mother's Day a couple months ago with the boys (pics here), but now she has been ordered to continue to receive her rightful visitation. And more good news for Sioh: She and Dwyane finalized a post-divorce financial settlement last week that gives her $5 milli and other niceties.
In other news, fab "Second Generation Wayans" star Tatyana Ali is revealing all about those Drake rumors on tomorrow's episode of "The Real." Earlier this year, it was rumored that “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” former child star and rapper Drake hooked up and the story of their one night stand spread like wild fire. We knew it wasn't true so that's why you didn't see it here...but Tatyana dished to the ladies about what really went down. Tatyana said:
Check out a clip below and tune in Thursday, August 1st to see what else she says about her dating life.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 11:23 AM PDT Evan Ross has been parading his new boo Ashlee Simpson around for the world to see he's moved on from his ex. Check out the twosome boo'd up in NYC for Ashlee's sister Jessica's Fall campaign launch, plus Kelis doing her out in L.A. Actor Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson -- who was rocking a Jessica Simpson dress -- attended the launch of the Jessica Simpson Fall 2013 Campaign hosted by Ashlee at Above Allen in NYC yesterday. We kinda thought these two were extremely awkward together, but maybe that's why they might work. Ashlee, who used to be married to rocker Pete Wentz and they have a baby boy together, also had a romantic lunch date at Gemma before the event. The couple also dined at the east village restaurant and were spotted holding hands and kissing at their table, before hurrying to their car:
Evan keeps himself a chick doesn't he?
Meanwhile, over in L.A., singer Kelis Rogers was spotted at the Sayers Nightclub in Hollywood with friends last night: She rocked a quirky mustache sweater, a Chanel bag and her glittery loafers for the occasion:
She also recently had a big waterpark adventures birthday party in Cali for her (and Nas') son Knight. Cute!

| HE GETS IT FROM HIS WIFE: 55-Year-Old Ice T Posts Shirtless Selfie...As A Warning Posted: 31 Jul 2013 09:22 AM PDT He may be laying the other side of the streets as a Detective on "Law & Order: SVU" for the several years now, but Ice-T is telling folks not to get it twisted. He's still in shape enough to whoop any necessary ass. Check out his selfie we're sure was inspired by his exhibitionistesque wife CoCo inside... Apparently, Ice-T has been having folks talking sideways at him on Twitter. So to remind everyone of his capabilities, despite being 55-years-old now, the former rapper posted a blurry pic of his buffness. He said, "This morning: MFs popin shit... 55yrs old. 'Don't sleep on the old cats.'" We assume that was a warning to all of you who thought Ice went soft.
