| LeBron & Savannah Get Cuddly While Chillin' On The French Coast Posted: 04 Sep 2013 08:55 AM PDT Cute coupledom alert! LeBron James & fianceé Savannah Brinson are still living it up on and off their yacht along the coast of France. Check out pics of the twosome grabbing a cuddled up lunch at the luxe Eden Roc restaurant...
LeBron and Savannah have been on a luxe vacay for a little over a week to celebrate 'Vannah's 27th birthday. The super cute twosome were spotted hugged up at Eden Roc Hotel Restaurant in France this week. Bron rocked his Givenchy 17 Virgin Mary tee and shorts while fab chick Savannah kept it simple, cute and casual in a neon yellow tee, white shorts and flip flops. And added a little fabness with a hair wrap and hot shades. Looks like she's got that wedding body tight and right and ready to go. The couple, who have 2 kids together, get married September 13th weekend in Cali.

| RUMOR CONTROL: Teyana Taylor Is NOT Pregnant! Posted: 04 Sep 2013 07:57 AM PDT After G.O.O.D. gal Teyana Taylor showed up to Ludacris' White Party in Atlanta this weekend rocking a tight white dress that some thought exposed a small baby bump, rumors went rampant on the net.
But it's all false... During LudaDay Weekend, singer/model Teyana showed up to Compound nightclub for the big White Party flaunting her petite yet enviable curves (above). But some folks thought there was one curve too many--a baby bump. Reports lit up the net that Teyana was a baby mama-to-be and the rumor went viral. It didn't help that there was already a spark of a rumor about Teyana possibly being pregnant by her NBA baller ex boyfriend Brandon Jennings before this weekend. But we reached out to Teyana's team to get to the bottom of the rumor, and it's false. "Teyana Taylor is NOT having a baby at all, and we have no idea where this came from," Teyana's rep tells us. So there you have it. Plus, this is some of T's abwork she flaunted just a few days ago while doing a hosting gig in Nashville:
We can't confirm if she's still living that virgin life she spoke so much about, but we can confirm there will be no babies any time soon. Photos: Prince Williams/ATLPics.net, Teyana's IG  |
| BOW DOWN: Happy 32nd Birthday Mrs. Carter! Posted: 04 Sep 2013 06:57 AM PDT International superstar Beyonce turns 32-years-old today. Celebrate with Bey inside......
Today, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter celebrates her 32nd birthday, and she's celebrating with a big family trip to the coast in Spain. It's a damn good day for Mrs. Carter, whose talent seems to grow and magnify each year. This year, we watched her "lights out" performance at the 2013 Super Bowl, checked the pages of 2 issues of VOGUE magazine she covered in 1 year, witnessed her vulnerable side on Life Is But A Dream, saw her take the world by storm with The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour and even laughed with her when her weave got caught in a hatin' ass fan. We "Bow Down" and thank Beyonce for being a first class entertainer. Take a trip down down memory lane with Beyonce's best Tumblr pics of the year in the gallery.....

Check out season 17's brand new pics inside, plus the first photo of your new "American Idol" judges... As previously reported, before this morning's official announcement on ABC, fab chick Christina Milian, Keyshawn Johnson and Amber Riley are the newest contestants on "Dancing With The Stars." And actor Corbin Bleu (remember him from Disney channel?) is also in the mix. The entire cast snapped an official photo this morning, including Snooki, Valerie Harper (who has been living with terminal cancer), Jack Osburne, Elizabeth Berkley and more. We're SO hoping Elizabeth does that "I'm So Excited" routine from that epic "Saved By The Bell" episode.
Christina Instagrammed the bove pic saying, "Well.. Here we are! Ready for this crazy adventure. I'm so ready to try something new and I'm great at it!! Lol! @markballas is my partner in crime! "The #official new #cast of #DancingWithTheStars on @GMA @christinamilian".

In other new official photos, J.Lo has officially eturned to "Idol" in Mariah Carey's place. And the judges' panel is smaller for Season 13. After Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson also were nixed from the show, the panel will now have 3 judges instead of 4. J.Lo will be chpping it up with New Orleans' own Harry Connick Jr. will make his debut and Keith Urban will return as a judge. We're kinds feling this. You? "Idol" premieres January 2014 on Fox.

| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:44 PM PDT Tyler Perry was at MegaFest recently where he layed hands on Bishop T.D. Jakes and donated $1 million to The Potter's House. Watch the clip inside and see why Sheryl Underwood has upset Black Twitter with her comments about Black hair and peep her response.
Film producer Tyler Perry gave an impromptu speech about "giving" and the anointing of GOD during Bishop T.D. Jake's Mega Fest in Dallas, TX this weekend. The clip, which has gone viral, begins with Tyler speaking about the voice of GOD moving in him and directing him to donate $1 million dollars to The Potter's House.
While speaking about his donation, Tyler began to pray in tongues and walked towards Bishop Jakes. He then layed hands on him as the men of the church gathered around him. Yeah, that happened.... Comments about the viral clip have ranged from positive to skeptical. We guess it depends on where you are in your life and your relationship with King Jesus. We'll reserve comment. Watch Tyler Perry get into his prayer language above....
And on television.... Sheryl Underwood is in hot water with Black America over comments she made about black hair. During Friday's episode of "The Talk" (which actually was to be a rerun), Sheryl responded to a story about model Heidi Klum's practice of saving her biracial children's hair after a haircut. Sheryl said,
Well...........the folks on Black Twitter have uninvited Sheryl from ALL future bar-b-ques, family reunions, Bayou Classics, Essence Fests, and Beyonce's remaining concert dates. She's not welcome. And honestly, the comment reeked of self hate, regardless of the "comedy" in it. As you can guess, Sheryl's Twitter timeline is now full of nasty tweets about her skin tone, weight and wigs. It ain't pretty. In response to the backlash, Sheryl talked to the natural hair blog Curly Nikki where she explained her comments and how she meant for the "joke" to be perceived. She said,
But you did say nobody wants nappy, curly, beady hair, so.... Read Sheryl's full interview here.

| VIDEO FAB: DJ Khaled's "I Wanna Be With You" Ft. Nicki Minaj, Future & Rick Ross Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:27 PM PDT The sing that sparked the transparent PR stunt involving Nicki Minaj being proposed to by DJ Khaled, "I Wanna Be With You", just got the video treatment. Check out the visuals and what all the hype was about inside... Nicki first popped up in the "Clappers" video today, now her video with Khaled is out for "I Wanna Be With You." And she and the homies Future and Ricky Ross spit their bars over the track that appears on Khaled's upcoming Suffering From Success album. Previously, Khaled tried to stir up publicity for the song b "proposing" to Nicki. She responded by wearing a gaudy diamond ring to make people talk. but of course, it was all for stunt. Peep the Colin Tilley directed club vid tricked out with confetti and ASSets below:  |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 03:16 PM PDT Rapper Lil' Kim has fired shots at Lil' Wayne over a diss from his latest mixtape. See what she said inside and watch Miley Cyrus defending her twerking and explicit VMA performance..... Over the weekend, Lil' Kim and her protege Tiffany Foxx took to Twitter to voice their displeasure over a diss from Lil' Wayne's latest mixtape Dedication 5. So what did Weezy say? On his "Pure Columbia" track, Weezy has a line that goes,
Now....you know how sensitive Kim is about her face! Once she got wind of the comments, she attacked Weezy's sexuality and hinted that she'll be throwing more jabs on her own mixtape. Then....Tiffany Foxx jumped in the mix.
But it didn't end there.
Once Nicki Minaj got wind of Kim's comments, she posted this message on Instagram..... "#UglyBtchsAlwaysMad #JealousAndBitter stay off da kid page please ugly gang!!!! Ur miserable. We get it!!' Fuq!!!!!!!" She attempted to make her caption sound as if it was for random haters, but we already know.... For his part, Lil' Wayne hasn't responded to Lil' Kim on social media, but then again, he's already said enough.
In other news...... Miley Cyrus sat for her first interview, since her VMA performance, where she defended her antics and her twerking (which so many folks, including Big Freedia, have blasted). Miley said,
So what does Miley say to critics? 'They're over thinking it. You're thinking more about it than when I did it. Like I didn't even think about it because that is just me." Oh, and she believes she was making history. She daid her and Robin Thicke kept telling each other, "You know we're making history right." Hmmm.....it's interesting that Miley admits that she didn't put much "thought" into her performance and the connotations of her behavior. We chalk that up to "white privilege". A privileged blonde former Disney chick, like Miley, never has to think about the implications of their actions when it comes to misappropriating Black culture. Must be nice.....

| Beyonce & Blue Get Cutesy In Spain With Papa Hov Posted: 03 Sep 2013 02:04 PM PDT After arriving into Ibizia to hop aboard a fabulous yacht yesterday, Beyonce and her baby girl Blue Ivy were spotted on their fashion tip elsewhere in Spain. Check out the Carters, including papa Jay who had something for the paparazzi, keeping it cute inside... Rocking a matching tan & black printed "Queenie" top and pants look by Never Fully Dressed, Mama Bey dressed her daughter up in an all white frilly dress and headband to head to shore in Formentera, Spain. The dynamic duo hopped off the yacht with daddy Jay-Z to take a smaller boat to land to spend the rest of their day of vacay:
Clearly, ya boy does not like these paparazzi. But he's the quintessential overprotective daddy. So throwing up the universal sign for "f*ck off" is better than hopping in the water to beat down a pap a la Kanye style. Mr. Carter just announced he's extending his Magna Carta Holy Grail tour to North America. And dates will be announced soon. Hopefully these two get to rest up before the next leg of the Mrs. Carter Show world tour kicking off in 5 days.

Amid rumors that they've secretly married, Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego were spotted in London doing everything possible to hide their ring fingers. See pics of what photographers are calling Zoe's wedding ring inside!
Across the pond, rumors are running rampant that Avatar actress Zoe Saldana secretly wed her boyfriend Marco Perego, a former soccer player from Venice, Italy, over the weekend. Marco, who's risen to fame as a well-respected artist in New York's art world, has been dating Zoe since the beginning of the summer and apparently, they are VERY smitten with each other! The couple was spotted in London last night, hanging out at the member's only club Loulou in Mayfair. But what really had photographers gagging was the HUGE ring on Zoe's wedding finger (which she hid). Meanwhile, Marco was ALSO sporting what appeared to be a wedding band on his ring finger (which he also attempted to hide). We're wondering what's up with all the hiding? But we can see the possible wedding rings in the pics below. Zoe is definitely NOT the shy type as she willingly revealed that she's bisexeual, earlier this summer, and hinted that she could imagine spending her life with a woman.
Now.....here's what Zoe doesn't want you to see.... We're sure she has her reasons....but we think a ring that BIG should be proudly displayed for the paparazzi AND anyone else whom you can blind with the reflection. But that's just us..
Congrats Zoe! (We think....)

| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 11:12 AM PDT Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx are two YBFers who are heating up magazine racks for the month of October. Get the deets on what Kerry did(n't) reveal about her marriage and how Jamie Foxx stays "current" inside..... "Scandal" star Kerry Washington looks absolutely stunning on the October issue of Glamour magazine where she talks about the upcoming season of "Scandal" (the promo had us gagging!), how Tracee Ellis Ross taught her how to pronounce Hermes, and why she's keeping her recent nuptials private. We've all come to know Kerry for being charismatic, yet very private. And in this latest interview, it's apparent that she knows how to talk about her private life....yet reveal nothing! But....we love her anyways. Here are the highlights:

| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 10:21 AM PDT The highly anticipated collaboration from Janelle Monae and Prince has been revealed. Listen to "Givin Em What They Love" inside and watch Wale's video for "Clappers" featuring Juicy J and Nicki Minaj.
While heavily promoting the release of Electric Lady (in stores September 10th) Janelle Monae has been pretty secretive about her collaboration with Price.....but now it's here! The track "Givin Em What They Love" ft. Prince, was first mentioned in a Billboard cover story a few months ago where Janelle said,
Now, we the listeners can weight in and give our thoughts on JM teaming with the icon. Was it worth the wait? We think so. In case you missed it..... We are enjoying the marketing campaign that Janelle and the Wondaland team have created. Check out her latest viral offering above...
And in new music videos.....
In "Clappers", the latest offering from The Gifted disc, Wale teams up with Nicki Minaj and Juicy J for a video clip that pays homage to chicks with big rear ends. Because the clip is full of "Clappers", we'd consider it NSFW. Enjoy!

| LEG GAME KILLAS: Rihanna Hits The NYC Streets In Adidas Dress + Ciara Flaunts Her Gams At FOXWOODS Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:58 AM PDT Ciara and her killer gams hosted the Grand Finale of Liquid Sundays at Foxwoods Resort Casino over Labor Day Weekend. We've got the pics of her new brunette locks, plus frenemy Rihanna showing off some leg while trying to catch a cab in rainy New York.... Bidding adieu to the summer season and her signature blonde tresses, CiCi sported newly darkened brunette locks and showed off her killer legs in little black number.
And then the "Body Party" chick hit the DJ booth to act like she was doing something, and she hopped on the mic to get the crowd hyped:
Fun times.
And speaking of chicks with killer legs: Rihanna got the bright idea to venture out into the rainy streets of NYC over the Holiday without her driver and without security. But she rocked a cute Adidas shirt dress to show off her gams while doing so: As she got followed by tons of fans snapping pics, Rih and her Nike sneakers and umbrella decided to do a little shopping in Soho. And as anyone who lives or has lived in NYC knows....Soho on a rainy Holiday weekend is a perfect storm of exhaustion. And finding a cab will be damn near impossible. Rih, who recently found a new place to live in NY semi-permanently, learned that lesson the hard way. She had to walk up all of Broadway before finally getting a cab. Bet she won't leave without her driver ever again. Chick better cop that Uber app. Oh, and her bestie LeeLee snapped this hot pic for IG.
