SPOTTED: Kanye & Kim Arrive Fresh Faced In Paris + Kanye To Press Criminal Charges On Driveway Paparazzo Posted: 28 Sep 2013 08:10 AM PDT Kanye West rolled into Paris this morning with his baby moms Kim Kardashian.   The twosome looked fresh faced after their roundabout trip they took to get there--all to avoid the LAX paparazzi.   Pics of the couple soaking up the Parisian air sans baby North inside.  Plus, Kanye's ready to strike against the paps who infiltrated his driveway! Kanye gave a growl to the paparazzi, but kept it moving with his girl as they headed straight to the Givenchy offices.  Likely to pick up something to wear for Sunday night's Givenchy Fashion Show for Paris Fashion Week: Is that a smile we see?  Nice! As for that paparazzo who had a confrontation with 'Ye at 4am in his driveway while the couple were on their way to the airport (they went to San Diego on a private plane from L.A. first and flew out of there to Paris to avoid paps), there's indeed an update. Kanye wants some blood on the leaves for real.  He reportedly plans to press criminal charges against one of the snappers.  He has told a source that after reviewing his security footage outside his Hollywood Hills home, he knows at least one trespassed on his property. Now THIS is how you properly strike back 'Ye....   The Randomness: 1.  President Obama named Shonda Rhimes, creator of "Scandal" to the Kennedy Board of Trustees.  STORY 2.  Damon Wayans, Jr. is set to star in a new dads comedy on Fox.  STORY   Photos: Splash

Rihanna Says She HATES Partying & Isn't Getting Sex On "Alan Carr" + Mariah & Nas REUNITE In The Studio Posted: 28 Sep 2013 07:00 AM PDT Rihanna celebrated English funnyman Alan Carr's 100th episode of "Chatty Man" recently.  And last night, the episode aired with Rih getting extra candid about her mullet and her sex life.  Check out the interview inside, plus Mariah & Nas back on one....   After Rihanna demanded the show's bartender to give her a shot of vodka (since he didn't know what a Duck Fart drink was), she talked about that damn mullet she's been rocking, why she made her River Island collection a bit raunchy, why she hates partying and what her sex life is really like. Here's our fave highlights from the fun interview below: On that mullet "I love black hair on me. I love to cut it short and be edgy and have fun with it. This summer I put a tail in the back and it became more like a mullet. And I love it. It's a weave...it's attached." On people thinking all she does is party "I just try to be as honest with myself as possible. Be realistic with who I am. What I love to do and make e happy. And it's not always partying. As a matter of fact, recently I've become like a square. I hate partying. I've become so bored of it. I think it's because it's the same music all the time. Maybe we need some new DJs or something. But when I work hard, I play hard. I've worked hard over these last 8 years." On her sex life and getting men while on tour "I don't do any of that actually.  I'm such a bootleg rockstar.  I'm embarrassed to say that actually.  It's pathetic.  I'm a bit of a square recently.  Don't feel bad for me."  Check out the full interviews and her live performance of (and her vocals were actually on point this time) "What Now?":     Meanwhile, Mariah is back in the studio with Nas.  And we're freakin' happy about it. The head Lamb posted the pic above with Nas & Jermaine Dupri simply saying, "This album.......!" Sounds like she's getting back to those previous days of JD banging out some hits for her for the upcoming The Art Of Letting Go album. Nice. By the way, Nas hit up the ALMA Awards Hennessy afterparty last night looking sexy while posing it up with host Mario Lopez: Yes....   Photos: Nas' IG, Mariah's IG, Sugarscape.com

BAD APPLE? Dame Dash's Son Dame, Jr. Charged With CHOKING OUT & BEATING UP GIRLFRIEND....And Is This Her?! Posted: 27 Sep 2013 03:36 PM PDT Dame Dash, Jr. (Boogie) is in some boiling water after authorities say he attempted to strangle his girlfriend.  Details inside, plus who we think may be his victim.... The son of media mogul Damon Dash is extra caught up right now.  And it's over him "allegedly" choking out his girlfriend.  And just when we thought he was growing into an upstanding handsome young man... 22-year-old Boogie Dash was at his apartment on Sept. 22nd in Chelsea in NYC when his girlfriend reportedly came to visit.  Things got crazy after the couple had two fights--supposedly over sex--that led to injuries.  And Boogie reportedly got extra physical, choking her out and punching her. The NY Post reports: “They had an apparent dispute over sex,” a law enforcement source told The Post of Dash-the-younger and his girlfriend. “She was visiting him at his apartment, he got violent with her, starts to punch her, slap her and shove her onto the bed, got on top of her, he grabs her by the throat and chokes her,” the source said. They briefly reconciled but then had another fight, at which point the victim called the cops, the source said. Dash climbed on top of her and “placed both of [his] hands around [her] neck and squeezed tightly,” to the point where she had trouble breathing, according to the misdemeanor complaint against him. The arraignment went down on Wednesday where he had to sign a restraining order to stay away from the unnamed victim.  Boogie had a previous run in with authorities, but those records have been sealed. It's amazing how this whole situation remained a secret...until now.  He was charged with misdemeanor assault and strangulation. While the victim has not been named, we noticed a certain girl that Boogie talks a lot about and posts plenty of pics with.  We cannot and do not confirm it's her, but we do know he seems smitten and calls her "the beautiful Courtney...". Here's a few pics we noticed that the twosome have posted in the last few months:   On another note, how stunning have Dame's two girls Ava & Tallulah grown up to be: Photos: Boogie's IG, Courtney's IG, Dame's IG

ON THE SET: Jamie Foxx & Quvenzhane Wallis Get Cutesy On The Set Of "Annie" Posted: 27 Sep 2013 02:35 PM PDT The cameras are still rolling on the remake of the "Annie" movie starring Jamie Foxx & cutie Quvenzhane Wallis.  Check out the YBF versions of Daddy Warbucks & Annie inside.... Jamie & lil Q kept it cutesy on the set today while filming Annie under the 7 train line on Roosevelt Avenue in New York.  Jamie's "Benjamin Stacks" character is a reinvented version of Daddy Warbucks.  And it looks like cutie Q has him wrapped around her finger. Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne and more are also set to star in the remake, which is being produced by Jay-Z, Will Smith and Jeffrey Wetzel.  And the film is on deck for a December 19, 2014 release.   Photos: Pacific Coast News/Splash

Keyshia Cole & Estranged Sister Neffe Reunited....By Shoes Posted: 27 Sep 2013 01:13 PM PDT After years of being semi-estranged, sister Keyshia Cole and Neffeteria Pugh reunited yesterday at the singers "Keyshia Madden for Steve Madden" event.  Check out the twosome showing each other love inside... Keyshia & Neffe fell out after we saw their tensions on Keyshia's first BET reality show years ago called "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is".  And once Neffe went and got the "Frankie & Neffe" reality show with their mom Frankie, things became even more tense between the two as they drifted apart over some serious familial issues. Keyshia didn't invite Neffe to her wedding, according to Neffe, and ish seemed to get real. But lately, Keyshia & Neffe started speaking again. And Neffe popped up at the "Enough of No Love" singer's Steve Madden shoe event in Lenox Mall to show some love.  They posed it up and Neffe commented: The only post that make perfect since...... its not over trust that #us........ My Sister....Family is the only thing that matter my love for my sister to life and nothing ever will come between family @keyshiacolegibson Neffe even copped a pair of her sister's shoes. How sweet. And Keyshia seems to be on a make-amends-tour.  Because her former manager and long time friend Manny Halley, who she abruptly split ways with after her first reality show, also showed up to support.  And so did Neffe's man Soullow.   Photos: Neffe's IG

Paula Patton Talks Finding "Mr. Right", Wale Does Cover Of "ROLLING OUT" + T.I. TALKS Parenting To "UPSCALE" Posted: 27 Sep 2013 11:50 AM PDT Paula Patton, Wale and T.I. are among the faces you'll see on magazine racks this month.  Finding out what their talking about inside... Paula Patton (shown above with Boris Kodjoe & Derek Luke) heads to theaters today in "Baggage Claim" where she plays a woman desperate to find "Mr. Right" in 30 days.  In the latest issue of ROLLING OUT, Mrs. Robin Thicke talks to the mag about finding Mr. Right.  Here are the highlights: Is it better for a woman to wait for Mr. Right? That’s where we need to go as women is to find some comfort in that. The moment we stop looking and caring, they all come flocking when you’re not looking. Why is it important to be open and prepared to receive Mr. Right? I am so glad that I am in a relationship or I would be messed up. Only people who love you can tell you “you know it’s annoying when you do this” and “you need to stop saying this when you are out in public.” It helps you grow as a human being. Hopefully, you enter the relationship open and ready to learn and this person who tells you there are some flaws you need to work on, you should listen. That’s what I love about my relationship and it has made be a better human being. Does love complete a person? People think finding love is going to complete them. It’s much more important that you are already complete when you enter that bond. That can make the search for love so hard when you’re thinking that’s the thing that will make me important or special. You have to be a full human, love yourself and the partner is there to be the dessert. You have to be the meal.     What’s the best marriage advice you can offer? It’s a marathon; it’s not a sprint. As women, we get caught up in that day when you get to be a princess. When that day is over, you’re like, wait, hold on a second! What just happened? Do I even want to sleep with this person? That’s why marriage is beautiful. The longer it [lasts], that’s someone who loves you inside and out, loves you for all your flaws. What’s the secret to making it last? It’s about being yourself, loving yourself and finding that person who loves you just the way you are. Who doesn’t like to see people go on a journey, travel everywhere?   Also on ROLLING OUT..... The Gifted rapper Wale also landed on the cover.  Inside, he talks about being a role model, why male rappers are afraid to express their feelings and the type of woman he's attracted to (hint: he likes smart girls).    On being a role model: "I try to lead by example....When I was young, D.C. was the cocaine capital and most violent place in America. For me to go there and then move to suburban Maryland, I was almost like a social outcast. [Being] African [wasn’t] the most popular thing around the early ’90s. Then I was in the detention center from sixth grade to 12th grade. [For me] to make it out of that, anything is possible. “We got a black president. As cliché as that sounds,” he also states. “And it sounds normal now since it’s been about six years, but [there] was a time when it seemed far-fetched. Anything can happen. I think there are way more outlets. Way more. There are way more things going on. You can become a director without even going to art school now. It’s not just trapping and rapping.” On dating an intelligent woman: “Intelligence is something you can’t fake. I’m not even talking about [reading] a thesaurus backwards, it’s like; there is a beauty in common sense. Not even to say that some girls are dumb — but some girls are dumb. It’s because they spend so much of their life trying to have the right look or whatever. Some girls are just really smart. There are girls you can have conversations with, healthy conversations with. Daily conversations with, who you can argue and problem solve with.” On immaturity in music: “I don’t think we’ve grown comfortable [with] talking about feelings all the way,” he says,“like other genres do. Even like Taylor Swift and them. … Or in R&B, Miguel. Our genre, essentially, is kind of young. It is driven by young people; young African-Americans. Us as a culture — we as a people – aren’t really the best with that. We got egos. Crazy egos. We’re some of the most egotistical people on the planet. I’m going to say it’s a defense mechanism. … It is almost frowned upon to be honest about relationships. Everybody wants you to rap from the perspective of the dude that has 20 girlfriends and can buy her a Bentley; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.”     Nice.   And in UPSCALE Magazine..... Rapper T.I. covers the October issue of Upscale where talks about being a father and the "shift" in his image. Also, he talked about his success with "Blurred Lines" and how his former publisher caught the vapors! T.I. had asked his music publisher, Warner Chapel, for $7 Million and they refused.  “They said, ‘Nah, no.’ And I said, ‘Ok, cool’ and we walked away amicably. And now the Robin Thicke record was the number one record in the world and I am the sole publisher because they didn’t want to cash me out. So thank you, Warner Chapel.”   Here are the other highlights: On being known as a daddy and father at this point in his career: “I guess a lot of things I’ve done in my career that I’ve gained attention for I wouldn’t have never really concluded that would’ve been a probable outcome... I guess [being known for being] a husband and a father is better than the guy with the machine guns and silencers.” On turning down a couple million for a record deal:  “I get that from The Family Hustle and we’re not even talking managers cut, that’s just me—not Tameka—that’s just what I’m getting,” he stresses, making sure his point is felt. And it is. “I can get that on my own, I can get that on tour.” On convincing Major to get mic'd up for the show: “Sometimes he just doesn’t like to be fooled with, like, ‘I’m not into it today... I don’t force him to do nothing. I let [the production crew] handle that. For a while Gushers worked. He was like, ‘Ok, I’ll do one scene for a pack of Gushers and then the Gushers stopped working. One time they came and said, ‘If you come down we’ll give you five dollars’ and he said, ‘What?! I’ll give you five dollars.’”   Photos via Upscale/ROLLING OUT/DeWayne Rodgers

Kanye West Confronts The Paparazzi At 4AM in His Driveway.... Posted: 27 Sep 2013 10:58 AM PDT Kanye Vs. The Paps round....whatever.  It happened again.  Kanye West raged against a cameraman who was too close to his driveway late last night.  Peep the footage inside...   Kanye and Kim are victims in another paparazzi scuffle.  This time, physical contact wasn't made (at least not in what was caught on video).  But Kanye saw red and lunged at a cameraman who was on his property--his driveway--as he and Kim were hopping in their car heading to the airport. So, maybe this time the rage session was warranted. But the couple's dramatic plans to get to Paris aren't. Reportedly, since Kanye is currently embroiled in a case where a pap has filed major charges on him for a previous attack at LAX, 'Ye's lawyers advised him not to fly out of LAX when he heads to Paris today. TMZ revealed: "...they will be flying to another airport via private jet, where they will pick up a non-stop commercial flight to gay Paree. We're told the private jet for the first leg will cost Kanye $5,000."   Check out the dust up above which kicks off with a prompt "Shut the f**k up!"  Damn.  It's only 4AM 'Ye.  And about how Kanye feels about Jimmy Kimmel's response to yesterday's rant? 'Ye took to his Twitter a few minutes ago and tweeted quotes from a Slate Magazine article saying Jimmy was wrong and Kanye was right.
