Another Chick Reveals Cheating Sext Messages & PICS From Royce Reed's Man Dez Briscoe

Posted: 19 Apr 2012 08:50 AM PDT

If "Basketball Wife" star Royce Reed's man Dez Briscoe was sexting his baby mama Christina "just to stay on her good side," what will be his excuse as to why he was sending shirtless pics and sext messages to a random chick named Jordann?  Yep...she's come forward with the proof.  Check it inside...

After Dez admitted to sending those messages to his baby mama about wanting to sex her and do everything else inappropriate to her....while he was still with Royce...ish just got more real.

The 22-year-old Tampa Bay footballer claimed he only sent her those messages to get on her good side (apparently he doesn't want drama over their baby she claims he never tends to).  He apologized profusely to Royce...via Twitter...and Royce said she was confused as to what to do about it.

Well, this may help.  Over the last 3 months, Dez has also been sending sext messages and pics to a chick named Jordann, telling her he's falling for her....and he and Royce are not really together.  Of course, Jordann shared it all:

 

 

Damn homie.  Just damn....

PS: Royce has now erased all the heart pouring messages about Dez, so maybe she's smartening up about keeping her business off twitter.  That Tiger Woods effect is no joke...

The french designer made the dress to for celebrities and socialites to express patriotism after 9/11. It was also re-launched in 2008 in response to the Obama presidential campaign. Tatyana expressed her patriotism by pairing it with a bold red lip and soft cropped curls, along with Diane Von Furstenberg metallic sandals.  But did she do the dress justice?

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Nas' "Behind the Music"

Posted: 19 Apr 2012 07:31 AM PDT

VH1 premiered Nas' "Behind The Music" last night. Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper told his story from childhood to present, drugs to fame, and beefs to friendships. And yes, what really went down with his marriage to Kelis. Check out the full episode inside....

We must say this was one of the most interesting episodes of "Behind The Music."  Since Nasty Nas is usually so private and quiet about happenings in his life, other than when he's flexing his storytelling skills on tracks, it was intriguing to hear about his life from his POV.  And inspiring to hear his passion for his music, his mother & father, his children, how his Queensbridge upbringing was the center of his hip hop world, and even the love for his ex-wife.

Nas revealed his feelings on the night, when he was still living in the hood of Queensbridge, NY in his late teen years, his best friend Ill Will was fatally shot in the back and his brother Jungle survived getting shot twice.  This is the life he lived as he was selling crack to make money for studio time.

He mentioned his ex-girlfriend Carmen and the excitement surrounding their daughter Destiny being born when he was 20.  That began the drama of his career since he decided to go more commercial with his second album, since he felt more monetary responsibility.  And that focus on commercial success led to his biggest hit to date, "If I Ruled The World."

He wrote "Hate Me Now" when people flipped and started hating on his success and flashier lifestyle.

On the drama he had with Tupac Shakur--the two had beef after believing both were talking ish about each other.  But they squashed it at an MTV Awards after party.  They never got to hang out in Vegas as Pac got shot before Nas got there.

On the drama with Jay-Z--Nas' mother was diagnosed with breast cancer so he had one foot in the industry and one foot out. Jay-Z took advantage of folks going in on Nas and saying that he was done, which led Jay to dropping the diss track "The Takeover." When Nas responded extra hard on "Ether," he was back on top and dropped his next hit album, Stillmatic.  Jay & Nas eventually squashed the beef several years later once Nas signed to Def Jam--where Jay was head honcho at the time.

When his mother died in 2002, Nas almost turned back to the streets, but instead went more into his music.  And fell for Kelis after seeing her in her "Caught Out There" video.  He said, "Who is this black rock star chick screaming? That's going to be my girlfriend."

The two were inseparable, but fell out of love years later.  Nas' manager, Anthony, said he had gotten all the divorce docs together, but reconsidered once he found out Kelis was pregnant with their son, Knight.  She ended up filing when a reconciliation didn't work.

And about those rumors he didn't want to be there for the birth of his son, Nas said he wasn't in touch with Kelis and she didn't tell him where she was giving birth when she was in labor. He had to find out from a gossip site.  So he didn't get to the hospital until 10 minutes after the baby was born.  Anthony claims Kelis was spending Nas' money like crazy while they were married.  Hence her demands for more money.  Interesting...
 

Here's a bonus video as well.

LEGAL GAMES: "BBW" Stars Boycotting Reunion Show OVER Jennifer Williams' Lawsuit?

Posted: 19 Apr 2012 06:52 AM PDT

 

Jennifer Williams' lawsuit against Nia Crooks for the "reality-tv slap of the year" is causing plenty of turmoil for the cast. Now the ladies have threatened to boycott the reunion show if Jennifer attends! Get the deets inside...

The ladies of "BBW" may not like each other, but they definitely have each other's backs when it comes to Jennifer Williams' lawsuit.  Sources say many of the ladies are pissed that Jennifer is causing drama and they don't feel comfortable with her throwing lawsuits around. So supposedly, many have threatened to boycott the reunion show if Jen attends!  Y'all know these chicks aint about that lawsuit life.

Interesting side note, the contract signed by the ladies of "BBW" states that, 

"Participant expressly assumes the risk of any physical or emotional injuries participant may suffer as a result of participant's participation in the project."

Hmmm.....that still doesn't give a chick the license to slap someone up at a racetrack.  Sounds like VH1 is trying to protect their own asses.  But that doesn't mean Jen can't sue Nia

Let the legal games begin...

AND THE PLOT THICKENS: Dez Briscoe ADMITS To Sexting Baby Mama, Royce Says She Feels BETRAYED!

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 07:29 PM PDT

So...after all the hoopla in the last 24 hours with "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed's twitter beef with her boyfriend Dez Briscoe's baby mam Christina Nero over alleged sext messages being sent, Christina was telling the truth.  How do we know?  Because Dez just admitted it!

 

Check out the bomb he just dropped, plus Royce pouring her heart out about feeling betrayed, inside...

Tampa Bay Buccaneer baller dez Briscoe just dropped a few bombs via Twitter.  After watching the entire twitter cat fight (over whether he sent explicit sext messages to his ex) between his reality star girlfriend and his baby mama go down yesterday, Dez stood by quietly saying nothing.  Until now.

Royce defended her man to no end yesterday calling Christina a liar and saying she concocted the texts using fake SMS apps.  And, conveniently, Dez seems to have popped THE question with Royce & her co-star Kenya Bell speaking on it today.

Now, Dez just admitted he did send those texts.  But it was all just to get on Christina's good side (his 22 years of age is really showing right now).  And he swears he never touched her.  (Hence why I said in my original post last night Royce should have DEFINED what she meant by "cheat" when she asked him).  Royce also says Christina told her the same via DM--that he never touched her while he was with Royce, despite the texts.

Check out Dez's admission below (and also explains his absence from football practice saying he's going through personal drama):

Royce poured her heart out about the admission saying:


 

After Royce said her piece and admitted she doesn't now what she's going to do about this new information, since it's not that easy to just leave, Dez responded saying:

@Roycelr do what's best for you.... Point blank..

And there you have it.  By the way, he posted this pic last month of him and his baby boy Dez Jr. (the one his baby mama says he never asks about):

As Twitter Turns....

SPOTTED: Beyonce Makes A Stop At Adult Education Building

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 05:34 PM PDT

After a long night visiting her little sister Solange at her home in Brooklyn yesterday, Beyonce Knowles was spotted...binder in hand...in midtown Manhattan earlier today.  And the paparazzi spotted her limo van, complete with Blue's carseat, pulling up to the W. 35th Street Alternative Education Complex.

 

Pics inside...

Dressed in sheer part-fishnet part-mesh stockings, shorts, her Isabel Marant sneakers and a cardigan, the undisguisable star was spotted sans baby Blue heading into an Educational building.  She dodged the paparazzi cams and his her face as bodyguard Julius did his usual job of blocking Bey from the flashes.

The complex is a part of New York's Office of Adult and Continuing Education.  And offers adult basic education as well as career and technical education.  Wonder what she's up to...

Beyonce and her mom did open the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center at the Phoenix House Career Academy in Brooklyn back in 2010. Is a possible second center at this location in the works?

"Basketball Wife" Royce Reed & Dez Briscoe Are GETTING MARRIED?!

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 04:17 PM PDT

From the looks of "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed's Twitter timeline, Evelyn Lozada may not be the only cast member turning into a football wife.

 

Royce's co-star Kenya Bell revealed today that congrats are in order for 30-year-old Royce & her 22-year-old Tampa Bay baller boyfriend Dez Briscoe.  Despite last night's twitter beef and cheating allegations from Dez's baby mama....

Well here's one way to get the haters and naysayers to hush up....get engaged.

No details on when (or if) this marriage will happen-- it could be next week, next month, next year--but according to Kenya Bell, wedding bells are ringing for Royce!  Kenya doesn't seem to be the brightest crayon in the Crayloa box so we take it with a grain of salt...for now.

Kenya tweeted out today, in defense of Royce's twitter foolishness last night with baby mama Christina, that Royce & Dez are getting married.

Royce then responded to Kenya saying she let the secret out:

Oopsie!!! Lol Well Congrats! :-) One for the haters! "@Roycelr: @KenyaBell thx Kenya but I think u just let the cat out the bag lol"

Looks like chick just guaranteed herself a spot on next season's BBW. 

After the hoopla last night, Royce looked unfazed taking her son, Braylon, to see The Lion King:

And she tweeted today she believes Christina's alleged cheating sext messages from Dez were fake and she used a spoof text app:

She 1. Changed the name but attached no number, then she showed his contact info aka number w/no text attached lol

Well if she feels confident in her man's faithfulness, then do you boo.  Congrats if true!

Nicki Minaj Takes London...And We Think Her Stylist Hates Her

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 03:33 PM PDT

Look...we don't even know if Nicki Minaj really has a stylist. For all we know she could be opening her wig suitcase every morning doing Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...and using the same strategy for her tights and body suit bags.  But if she does have a stylist, clearly that person has beef with Nicki if this is the ish she got paid to put together.

 

Check out her latest looks while the "Superbass" rapper does promo around London today....

Off to do promo at the 'The Graham Norton Show' for her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album, Nicki stepped out of the W Hotel in London in a bondage style....dress...and polka dot stockings under a body suit.  All topped off with a red and black Thriller style jacket.

The quirky rapper finally slapped a smile on her face after her Twitter meltdown this weekend.  And signed autographs for her awaiting fans.

She switched up her look from a platinum wig to a green cropped one for her press appointments:

And changed into another outfit of a body suit and houndstooth stocking with plaid platform boots.

It's just so much going on.  And no, chick still hasn't returned to the Twitterverse.  And neither has her fansite.

Gabrielle Union SAYS She Doesn't Follow "The 90-Day" Rule AND Taraji P. Henson DISHES On "Sex" With Michael Ealy

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 02:55 PM PDT

Gabrielle Union stopped by "Conan" last night were she revealed being banned from sitting courtside at Dwyane Wade's games and that they didn't follow the 90-day rule! Watch the clips inside.....

 

Gabrielle Union chatted it up on "Conan" last night as she promoted her upcoming flick, Think Like a Man (April 20).  While the movie talks about women holding tight to the "90-day rule", Gabrielle revealed that she definitely didn't follow that in her personal life.  In fact, she joked that she had more like "9-day rule".  

She also joked that she got banned from sitting courtside at D. Wade's games because she was loud.  Gabby said she becomes like "Dance Moms" and trash talks the other players.

And when it came to the couple's almost 10 year age difference, Gabby revealed that Dwyane doesn't get her 80s pop culture references.  He was clueless about Pretty In Pink!  FYI--I turn 30 on May 1st (same age as Dwyane) and that's one of my fave movies.  It's not an age thing...it's a gender thing.

 

Gabrielle dishes on her ban and trash talking:

And in other TLAM news.......

 

 

 

Taraji P. Henson stopped by Sway's Shade 45 show earlier this week where she dished on her sex scene with Michael Ealy. She says the kissing was real and his body felt "nice." But she adds they didn't bump and grind during the scene. They kept it PG-13.  Aside from him licking chocolate off her body. (Yasssss.) She jokingly added that a sex scene was the FIRST scene they filmed together.

The fab chick said that in the moment, her feelings are "real" during the love scenes and she can see how actors fall in love while on/off camera.  Especially because nothing is really off limits for her.  For that reason, she said she leaves her work....at work! And doesn't date actors off set.
 

 

Sheree Whitfield Confirms She's Leaving RHOA, Says She's "Tired Of The Cattiness"

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 02:20 PM PDT

My how things change.  Or do they?  Sheree Whitfield has confirmed she has decided to leave "Real Housewives of Atlanta," after reports of her actually getting FIRED have been circulating for several weeks.  Check out her statement about the matter on why she feels the show no longer "caters to her lifestyle"...

Despite the fact that all reports pointed to Sheree getting fired from the ATL franchise of Bravo's Housewives, she claims it was her own decision to leave.  She tweeted today:

Yes it is official I'm leaving Real Housewives of Atlanta. I enjoyed my time working with everyone affiliated with the show.

She states this show has taken a turn for the worse and no longer caters to her lifestyle.  And she's tired of the fighting and cattiness.  Guess she wasn't tired of it the first 4 years she was a major participant in it.  In a statement today, Sheree says:

“After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness.”

“I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I’m thrilled to say I’m now a free agent and am already fielding offers.”

Sheree says she'll now have time to focus on her clothing line She by Sheree (oh...) and her new fitness ventures.  And she denies she was fired in NYC which led to her not attending the Bravo Upfronts party.  She says she and her family were actually in Puerto Rico (pictured below).

Do you boo.

YBF EXCLUSIVE: "TLAM" Star Terrence J's Advice For Broke Men, Single Women And Those Who Want To Date Someone Famous

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 01:34 PM PDT

 

Actor and television personality Terrence J. recently chatted with TheYBF.com where he offered pearls of wisdom about dating and relationships that he's learned along the way and through his new flick Think Like a Man. Get his advice inside....

It's great to be Terrence J.  He hosts one of the top-rated shows on BET, "106 & Park," stars in the hottest movie of the season, Think Like a Man (and does a damn good job too), and dates one of the most desirable women in the modeling world, Selita Ebanks.  So with all his success, especially playing the role of a mama's boy who is learning to cut the cord, he must know a little something about a number of issues...mainly relationships.

The 28-year-old, who's matured oh so nicely right before our eyes, recently dished up his dating advice to TheYBF.com. 

YBF: What should single women focus on if she's interested in attracting the right man?

Terrence J: "The first thing I notice in a woman is her eyes.  I think the eyes are the gateway to the soul.  If they are bright and open it tells a lot about who a woman is.  Likewise, if I'm talking to a woman and she's not looking at me in the eyes, it also says a lot."

YBF: A big issue in the TLAM movie was a man with financial challenges dating a woman with expensive taste.  What's your advice on making that work?

TJ: "The best gifts come from the heart.  And if you are thoughtful, it doesn't matter how much things cost.  If the woman that you are dating likes a particular flower or particular movie and you write a special note from it....those things mean more than expensive shoes.  Nobody will care about those shoes in a year, but when things are romantic....they are more special."

YBF: You're currently dating someone in the same world as you--famous & "in the industry."  What's your advice, as a man dating a famous model, about dating (or trying to date) someone else who is famous and lusted after by many people?

TJ: "I think whenever you are in a relationship with anybody, all of the bells and whistles and the perceptions of outside people go away.  When you are dating somebody and you really get to know them, none of what other people think about them comes into play. Like Kevin Hart said in the movie, "Go with what you know."

"A lot of times when men are pursuing women, we try to be something that we aren't and that's when we mess up the most. Whenever we are being ourselves and we stick to what we know, that's when things work best.  I love movies and I love things that are outdoors. So if I'm dating a woman, those are the things that I am going to do.  And I'm going to talk about the things I know...because that is what's truest to me."

YBF: You've worked with some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood (Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union, Taraji P. Henson, etc) during the filming of TLAM.  Game time!  Who would you marry, who would you have a one-night stand with and who is most like a sister?
TJ: "Well..I think all of the women are beautiful and I'd marry each of them."
 
Well isn't he just the perfect gentleman...
 

 
You can catch Terrence J. in his first major big screen role in Think Like a Man, this Friday, April 20th.
 

LaLa Anthony Gets X-RATED, Speaks On Her Long Engagement & Parenting Criticism

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 12:21 PM PDT

Lala Anthony hosted a private screening of her new film “Think Like a Man” with friends and family at New York's Bryant Park Hotel with X-Rated Fusion Liqueur.  And she took some time away from her cocktails to dish to TheYBF.com on her long engagement to hubby Carmelo Anthony, and their parenting skills when it comes to their budding model son, Kiyan....

 

 

La hosted last night's pink-themed event in her black Stella McCartney jumper accented with an Asif Zaidi statement necklace, and topped off her look with gold rosette Lanvin wedges.

TheYBF.com chatted with the actress/reality star on the scene about what she learned from appearing in Think Like A Man, and Steve Harvey's book on which the film is based. 

Despite Mr. Harvey advising women not to wait around during those "long engagements," La says otherwise.  Based on her own experience.  And she may receive criticism from blog readers who say she's always out & about instead of parenting her and Carmelo's 5-year-old son.  But the couple is nothing but focused on giving little Kiyan the best life.  Here's our chat:

On the tips LaLa learned from the book: "As a woman to control our emotions- sometimes we act off of emotions and if there's a way to control that I think we should. Women have a tendency to act off of emotions whereas men can set it aside."

On any situations in the book relating to those she has had with husband Carmelo Anthony: "Of course. Melo and I had a long engagement, and that's talked about in the book. But now we are happily married and do things our way. There are a lot of things in the book that I can relate to.  I think everyone could find some pieces of the book that they relate to and can apply it to life."

On her best on-set experience: "Working with new actors and actresses. There were days I didn't have to be on set and I would go just to watch and learn."

On spending time developing Kiyan's modeling future acting possibilities: "We don't pressure Kiyan, whatever he wants to do we support him, to act, to model, to be a basketball player. We just want him to be a kid and enjoy his life as a kid. The Jordan photo shoot was something he wanted to do, and we supported him.  It's the kind of parents that we are!"

 

More fab pics:

During the screening, guests were treated to sweets from the X-Rated Fusion Liqueur candy bar, popcorn and branded XRFL fans to signal when they were ready for another cocktail, named after the upcoming movie.

LaLa's mom, Carmen Surillo, was there to support as well.

Think Like A Man hits theaters this Friday, April 20th.

Rihanna Drops Another "Where Have You Been" Video Still, Says She Will NEVER Enter Rehab

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 11:06 AM PDT

Rihanna released another black & white still from her upcoming "Where Have You Been" video.  And she's also speaking about how she stays away from drugs (except marijuana of course) and why she'll never end up in rehab.  But her fans are up in arms after a pic she tweeted shows her allegedly doing something with a suspicious white substance...

 

The above photo is the second flick from the pop singer's upcoming video "Where Have You Been."  Rih posted it on Facebook last night amidst the Instagram drama of this pic she posted from her crazy Coachella weekend:

The pic shows a white powdery substance that some of her 1000+ fans who commented got up in arms about saying it was cocaine.  But due to the size of the substance, and likely the difference in color Instagram pics can cause, it's very likely just some bud.  That she decided to roll on this dude's head.  She's a funny gal...

 

She also tweeted a pic backstage with Snoop & Warren G after their set...with an extra fat blunt.  And, of course, she showed them her 'Thug Life' stomach marker tribute in salute to their "performance" with Tupac:

Meanwhile, 24-year-old Rihanna told Mondanite magazine that she would never end up on drugs and in rehab, because she thrives off pressure.  And when ish gets too real, she just calls up her bestie Melissa:

"That will never happen to me. I refuse to crack under pressure - in fact I thrive on it. So when I read about Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse who have suffered under it, it's sad. It is easy to criticise them but it happens. You just have to stay focused and keep your feet on the ground."

"Staying down to earth in this industry in general is really not easy, but I am strong and when I feel lost or depressed on the road, I call my best friends Melissa. When I see people turning to drugs and alcohol, then that's when I call Melissa. She helps me get through things."

Hope she keeps that outlook...
