PARTY CENTRAL: T.I. & Tiny Hit T.I.'s PEEP SHOW Birthday Bash & Hip Hop Awards Afterparty + Floyd Mayweather Boo'd Up With Lil Kim And Diddy, Meek Mill & More Do PRIVE Posted: 29 Sep 2013 08:37 AM PDT T.I. pulled double duty in ATL this weekend as he celebrated his 33rd birthday with a PEEP SHOW bash Saturday night and also hit up the BET Hip Hop Awards festivities. Check out him and wife Tiny partying with their celeb friends after the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, plus Floyd Mayweather & Lil Kim boo'd up alongside other celebs at Prive Friday night... Saturday night was all about the PEEP SHOW as T.I. celebrated his birthday with a big party at 200 Peachtree St. after the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards taping.  Tiny kept it shimmery as she was on her hubby's arm all night.  And his bestie Nelly was also there to help his homie celebrate. Diddy was there...with who looks like his baby moms Sarah Chapman over there in the wings.  As usual.  Brandy was there in a black dress with lace paneling. "LAHH: ATL" star Erica Dixon rocked a printed bodycon dress for the party. "R&B Divas" star and singer Nicci Gilbert rocked a textured mini skirt and a satin purple blouse as she hit T.I.'s party. BFFs Monyetta Shaw and Keshia Knight Pulliam rolled with some friends to the party. Monyetta showed off her hot bod in this high waisted camo trouser look, but feel like she should have dressed up a bit more when the host is in a red crushed velvet suit....   A smiling Tameka Raymond rocked her little black dress.    Dice was there posing it up with her cousin Diego Cash.   Hip Hop head Shanti Das was there to party it up. D.Woods and...this outfit...were also there. Shay "Buckeey" Johnson has a new look.  It's a short black bob wig.  And we're thinking maybe she's still trying to get the man who was never her man--Scrappy--to pay attention since he was all around town this weekend with his new chick Bambi. Producer Sean Garrett was aso there to party.   Happy birthday T.I.P.  Lookin' all dapper and ish...   And Friday night before the Awards, celebs hit up Prive in Atlanta to get it in: The engaged Floyd Mayweather seemed to be boo'd up with his rumored jumpoff Lil Kim.  Interesting....   Oh Kimmy....   Diddy made his entrance into the party in a red track suot.  And had his own Revolt cameras on himself all night.  Of course. Juelz Santana was there sans his baby mama Kimbella, who was partying it up in Houston.   And rappers Meek Mill and French Montana were also there with chicks on deck.   Photo Credit: Chris Mitchell / CME3000, ATLPics.net

This Is What The 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards "Green" Carpet Looked Like.... (Plus A Few Spoilers) Posted: 28 Sep 2013 08:08 PM PDT So the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards went down tonight at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center today.  And as for what that red carpet looked like, it's very likely exactly what you would think.   Pics of Scrappy & Bambi, Stevie J. & Joseline, Lola Monroe, 2 Chainz and more inside.... Bambi showed up looking like the "alternate" for a porn film.  The former "Basketball Wives of LA" co-star is now dating "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" star Scrappy.  And it seems these two are serious about their relationship...or at least serious about making us believe there is one. Bambi's actually a pretty girl.  But stunts, outfits & toes like this do nothing but make us sad.  As for Scrappy...nevermind.   Bambi & Scrappy actually make "LAHH: ATL" stars Stevie J. & Joseline's "love" look like the realist ish out here.  The new husband & wife team--so they say--slobbed each other down on the carpet tonight.   When 2 Chainz is looking like "Why am I here?", that says A LOT.   Lil Mama popped up in a printed cropped blazer and matching trouser.  And we're actually feeling it.  The "Crazy Sexy Cool: TLC Story" star is now rocking aquamarine hair.  Which also isn't the worst look on her.  It works for her. Fab chick Eve made her way tot he carpet in a sexy sparkling black dress with a gold chain garter. Snoop Dogg caught up with the champ Floyd Mayweather on the carpet. Actor Kevin Hart, who's out pubbing his upcoming flick with Ice Cube called Ride Along, was there.   Rapper and new mommy (and newly single now that she's broken up with baby's daddy Los the rapper) Lola Monroe hit the carpet n all leather.  Sexy look for her.   V103's Big Tigger hit the carpet. Actress Porsha Coleman kept it flirty on the carpet.   MC Lyte is still looking great these days. And a slimmed down Rick Ross hit the carpet in his signature track suit. The show doesn't air on BET until October 15th.  But since TheYBF.com was on the scene tonight inside the Awards, we've got a few spoilers: Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony closed out the show. Manny Fresh came out on stage to do a surprise "Back That Azz Up" performance with 2 Chainz & Juvenile.  The show started well over an hour late.  We wonder what backstage drama was going down...   Photo Credit: Aaron J. / RedCarpetImages.net

Floyd Mayweather Confirms He's Still Engaged To Shantel Jackson: "No New P*ssy!" Posted: 28 Sep 2013 11:02 AM PDT Floyd Mayweather is on top of the world.  He's still the reigning boxing champ, and he's back together with his fiancee.  Not saying it was all that difficult because we all know homegirl was waiting in the wings since that $41.5 mill prize became available.  But it's still sweet nonetheless.   Check out how Half B (his new nickname for Half Billionaire) expressed his love & admiration for on and off again fiancee Shantel Jackson how only he can... Before portraying himself like he had some professional sense on "Live with Kelly & Michael" Friday morning, Floyd then rolled to Howard Stern's radio show to cut up. He gushed about reuniting with his fiancee Shantel Jackson (who was front and center at the fight against Canelo and was embroiled in some drama with one of Floyd's baby mamas).  And said he knows she's the one because he doesn't want any other "p*ssy".  How sweet. “Yeah we’re still engaged… She’s my better half. I done already had enough p***y before I got to her. If God made anything better than p***y I don’t want it. We’re not really focused on marriage right now. I’m going to focus on taking her career to that next level. It’s about me being an asset, helping my better half.” Stay classy Floyd... P.S.  He also told Howard that he and Shantel do bring other ladies into the bedroom. He admitted to being with four women at the same time, and found it overwhelming....   Photos: Getty/HowardStern.com

Hollywood Couple Cherie Johnson & Dennis White Talk Racial Brutality From South Carolina Cops Posted: 28 Sep 2013 09:44 AM PDT Notorius actor Dennis White and his former child star actress girlfriend Cherie Johnson are a couple--in case you didn't know.  And after putting on their joint "actor workshop" in Dennis' hometown in North Carolina last week, they faced ugly racial brutality once they headed to South Carolina for some R&R.   Check out their story inside... While heading south to Myrtle Beach after putting on an actor's workshop in North Carolina, actors Dennis White & Cherie Johnson encountered some major racial profiling that led to handcuffs, harassment, and being stripped of their rights by what the couple call racist police officers. Dennis wrote his story on iCNN.  And explained that while the two were taking pics of the scenery of the cotton fields in South Carolina--while soaking in the historical significance of it all--police officers went way too far. On September 22nd, 2013 at approximately 3:40pm, I was reminded that at the end of the day I can be harassed by the police at their will. Dennis explained how situation went left when a cop harassed them for being on private property. I grew up in North Carolina so this is nothing new to me but to experience this with the Woman I love was monumental. As we walked back to the car we noticed a cop car with it’s lights on making a u-turn and parked right behind us. My Lady, proceeded to walk towards his car and state, “I just wanted to take a picture!” The Officer, S. Barfield, grabbed his gun and told her to sit in the car. He continued: The officer approached my side of the car and asked for license and registration. I complied and he went back to his vehicle to run my identity. Everything came back clean. He began to ask me a plethora of questions. I showed him the flyer from the Acting workshop we just held in Fayetteville the previous day. I informed him of our credentials and what we do for a living. He told me to exit the vehicle. I complied. He brought me to the back of the car and asked me more questions. He asked me my Woman’s name and I answered, “Cherie Johnson”. He left me and questioned her. I assumed to validate my answers. He returned to his car and approached me and told me that there was a warrant for her arrest. I told him he had to be mistaken. He presented that info to her and she disputed that. He returned to his vehicle and within 5 minutes he approached her and admitted that she didn’t have a warrant. By this time I am hot, confused and annoyed. He asked me several more questions and then asked if he could search the car. I am not a lawyer but I know some of my rights. I refused. He walked over to Cherie and asked her several more questions. He left her and entered his car and put gloves on. Officer Barfield approached me and told me to turn around. I asked him if I was being arrested. He said, “No”. He proceeded to put handcuffs on me rather tight and aggressively. I inquired why was I being cuffed. He had no specific reasoning. He then proceeded to approach my Lady and tell her to get out of the car and he handcuffed her.   Dennis revealed that the cop berated them with questions about drugs and other things--none of which applied to them.  And harrassed them by not letting them out of the handcuffs until Dennis allowed them to search the car.  Police even accused them of stashing weed in a tea bag.  And only freed the couple after enduring hours of harrassment. Check out the couple's full story HERE and how they want the racist cop, who they name as “Officer S. Barfield” in Marion County, SC, to face justice.   Photo: Cherie's IG, Dennis' IG

TORONTO LOVE: Drake Announces Fellow T.Dot Native Keisha Chante As New "106 & Park" Host, Goes Home To Promote "NWTS" Posted: 28 Sep 2013 08:46 AM PDT It's a Canadian takeover!  Hold on, because Drake went on home to promote his new album Nothing Was The Same.  But before he left, he hit up BET's "106 & Park" to help his fellow Toronto native Keisha Chante make her big announcement.... Drake, rocking a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey, was spotted arriving to the HMV store on Queen Street in Toronto yesterday to sign CD's of his new album Nothing Was The Same.  The hometown hero had plenty-o-fans crowding his car as he hopped out to say wassup. But first, he stopped by "106" to help out his girl Keisha Chante.  He helped her announce her new position as official co-host on "106 & Park" (we told you previously Angela Simmons would be ending her run at the end of this month) starting October 1st.   Keishia rocked a pair of sexy boots by Luichiny, a Save The Queen sweater and leather shorts by Sparkle & Fade for Urban Outfitters as the twosome made the big announcement.   Drake even revealed she actually may have been one of his chicks at some point.  We believe it.  Check out the big announcement below:   How cute...   Photos: PCN/KeishaChante.com
