In addition to celebrating their 20th Anniversary with standout cover photos of Robin Thicke and Janelle Monae, and a few swanky day-to-night events in Las Vegas with La La Anthony, Juicy J and Talib Kweli, VIBE Magazine took their party to NYC city last night. Taking over the famed NYC hotspot Bungalow 8, folks like Tyson Beckford (atop) and Swizz Beatz (above) were in attendance.

Reality tv personality Po Johnson smiled for the cameras. DJ D-Nice helped keep the crowd moving. Questlove also stepped behind the 1s and 2s to spin a few hits.
DJ Scratch also joined the fellas in the DJ booth.

| Benzino Calls His Latest NAKED Bathroom Pic "An Unfortunate Situation" Posted: 24 Aug 2013 10:49 AM PDT Yep, he did it again. For the second (maybe third) time, "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Benzino was caught out there with his naked bathroom pic. We're not sure who he was sending THIS to, but we have the alleged recipient. And now, Benzino is responding to the picture leak... A few days ago, this naked bathroom pic of Benzino hit Instagram. And a young guy claims Benzino sent it to him. Hmm.. Now, Benzino, who was previously knicking off co-star Karlie Redd, is responding to the claims and giving his version of what really happened. He tweeted,
The next day (Friday), he explained how the pic leaked. He called it "an unfortunate situation." Then, he said that someone stole the pics when "they" took his phone while he was in the club. How? He claims he gave "them" his phone to take a pic of him. Apparently, said person was super quick with scrolling through the photo album, finding this naked pic, screenshotting it, and texting it to themselves...all without him seeing? If you say so Benzino...

| MOVE FAB: "Lee Daniels' The Butler" REMAINS At #1, Oprah Winfrey CELEBRATES With A Purple Hula Hoop! Posted: 24 Aug 2013 07:57 AM PDT Lee Daniel's The Butler is expected to win the box office for the second week in a row. Find out how well the film performed inside and hear how Oprah Winfrey celebrated her screen success.... After a successful debut weekend, Lee Daniels' The Butler held onto the top postion for the second week in a row, taking in $4.7M last night. The film is expected to gross $15.6M this weekend which is good enough to edge out We're The Millers starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. So how did Oprah Winfrey celebrate the film's success? She told the Huff Post, "I actually got a purple Hula Hoop that I bring out for occasions like this. So I brought out that Hula Hoop in the front yard!" Oprah's celebration was in stark contrast to ho she handled the failure of her film Beloved in 1998. Back then, she turned to macaroni and cheese to sooth the pain.
Oprah said she asked her chef to start cooking comfort food and ended up "in a macaroni-and-cheese coma." Well....there will be no coma this weekend! We hope she posts an Instagram video of all the hula hoop action! Unfortunately for actress Jane Fonda, who stars at Nancy Reagan in the film, her role in the film has not been as well received. In fact, one theater in Kentucky refuses to show the film because of Jane's casting. So what's the fuss about? There have been several very small protests against the film because of Jane's work in the early 1970s protesting the Vietnam War. Yes, the 1970s... Dane Tripp, who protested outside a Lewiston, Maine theater, told the local Sun Journal newspaper, "We have nothing against the theater, nothing against the movie itself. I'm sure it's very historical. There's no malice against the movie, just the person they cast in it." SMH.......somebody make Jane some mac and cheese!
Here's the projected weekend turnout:
