The Grindhouse actress, who also had recurring roles on "Veronica Mars" and "Private Practice," was spotted hitting up a lunch spot in West Hollywood this weekend with her boyfriend:

The NYU grad also has 5 older sisters who are just as fab.  Cute pics!

"Necessary Roughness" star Mehcad Brooks was spotted in NYC recently.  See the pics inside and photos of Ciara shopping in LA.

Celebrating the start of season two of his hit show, Mehcad Brooks was spotted leaving his NYC hotel for a night on the town recently.

Perhaps Mehcad will get an Emmy nod this year as his character TK battles PTSD.  And looks damn good while doing so.

And in LA........

Ciara was spotted at The Grove yesterday looking laid back in ripped jeans and a sweatshirt.

The "Sweat" singer was joined by friends as she took a break from working on her One Woman Army disc.

The couple climbed in a white Lamborghini Gallardo and headed out to dinner.

 

Clearly the two love a Lambo as Kim recently & supposedly bought Kanye a black Aventador LP 700-4 Lamborghini for his 35th birthday.

They dined at Ferdi restaurant.....and couldn't keep their hands off each other.  Cameras weren't far behind of course.

Also, Kanye just revealed that he will make a 2-night appearance at Revel Casino & Resort in Atlantic City on July 5 and 6.  Tickets go on sale June 22nd at 10am ET at Ticketmaster.  More deets HERE.

 

Earlier this weekend, Kim K. donned a green military dress with gold buttons as she and Mr. West took in the sights of Paris.

During an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired last night, Kim revealed that she likes that Kanye is older and more mature than some of her past lovers since she usually dates younger guys.  Oh.

The couple made a trip to Häagen-Dazs with Kim's mom Kris Jenner joining them.

Rihanna VISITS Grandmother In BK, Will INTERVIEW With Oprah In AUGUST

Posted: 18 Jun 2012 07:15 AM PDT

 

Over the weekend, Rihanna visited her Grandmother in Brooklyn, who has been released from the hospital. See the pics inside and get the deets on Rihanna's big Oprah interview........

 

 

We told you earlier that Rihanna's grandmother was battling Cancer, so during her stay in NYC, RiRi made a trip to BK for a visit.

She tweeted, My heart smiled and cried all at once.

They were very playful too.  She put a hat on her and said, #grangrandolly Truk your girl

She added, She still has the most beautiful hands.
 

 

In other Rihanna news......

Oprah Winfrey confirmed on Twitter that she will interview Rihanna for "Oprah's Next Chapter" in August.  

And on a sidenote, it's all fine and good that Oprah wants to seem approachable, but should she (or her little helpers) retweet folks with names like "StayDaFuckMad?"  That's ain't good for the soul.....

Under the direction of Annick Wolfer, Kelly Rowland has shot a fun party clip for a remake of "Summer Dreaming" by Kate Yanai.  Kelly, who recorded the song in tribute to Barcadi for their 150th anniversary, will release the jam on July 8 during a performance in Berlin.  She said,

"The song and its history enthralled me right away. My aim was to record a joyful, colourful, sexy song and give it a bit of soul quality. The collaboration with BACARDÍ was so much fun. We had an awesome time recording the song."

And speaking of the video, she said,

“The story is all about the celebration.  It’s almost like you’re seeing my dream come to life before your eyes and I wake up and I’m like, ‘I’m really dreaming!’”

And for ink fans.........

Rihanna has added to her body art and got a new tattoo of an Egyptian falcon in the shape of a handgun on her inner right ankle.

So why the falcon?  RiRi said, “Falcon: a light that shines in the darkness! Never close their eyes during sleep.”

RiRi's ink was done by her regular tattoo artist Bang Bang who runs Bang Bang Tattoos in New York.  You feelin' it?
 

FATHER'S DAY FAB: YBF Dads We Love...And Why They Love Their Kids!

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 12:20 PM PDT

It's FATHER'S DAY!  And we've rounded up pics of just a few of our fave YBF dads (30+ to be exact).  Plus the sweet words they've said about their kiddies...and it made us love them even more.

 

Check out our fave dads plus a gallery of Father's Day pics inside...

Jay-Z is celebrating his first Father's Day with Baby Blue Ivy:

"I imagine I’ll take things I learned from my mom and things I’ve learned from raising my nephews and apply that. [But] then at the end of the day, I just know I’ll probably have the worst, spoiled little kid ever.”

Knicks baller Carmelo Anthony with son Kiyan:

[Kiyan & I] love to watch movies together, take him to museums, watch sports and the National Geographic channel.....When he recaps my basketball games, it makes me smile.

Usher & sons Naviyd & Usher V:

“Naviyd is addicted to peppermint, but he had already had dinner and dessert. So I told him he couldn’t have any candy, and he walked off. A couple of minutes later, when he thought I couldn’t hear, he was asking my mother if he could open a peppermint candy. He was trying to manipulate the situation.” (Usher says he had “a good laugh” at Naviyd’s efforts, but ultimately denied him the candy.)

San antonio Spur Tim Duncan and son Breck and daughter Sydney:

 

T.I. with sons Messiah, Major & Domani and stepdaughter Zonnique:


I haven’t given [my sons] much advice on the music business yet because I still don’t know how serious 'they are] about it. Most of my advice has been to [them] as an artist, as a MC and that is talk about what you know and how you feel. Don’t get caught up trying to do what everybody else is doing and also to expand his vocabulary…

The Dream with daughter Violet:

"I don’t [offer help] because my “helping out” turns into expectations. I’ll get Violet on a late night maybe one or two times, but after that, no. If Christina’s tired, call the nanny, call Violet’s granny. We got people."

(We guarantee that view is about to change real soon)

Swizz Beatz with daughter Nicole and sons Nasir, Kasseem, Jr. and Egypt:

“The best part of being a dad is being able to encourage my children and teach them, show them the dos and the don’ts, and just mold them into a better me."

Djimon with son Kenzo & Russell Simmons wth daughters Aoki Lee & Ming Lee:

“The way young people think, you want to think like them so they teach you a lot. Having a child teaches you so much.  That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what’s important in life.”-Russell

Robin Thicke with son Julian:

As anybody knows, there’s absolutely nothing that can compare. He’s the best part of everyday and he’s adorable, sitting here in the kitchen right now having blueberries and yogurt.

Nick Cannon with twins Moroccan & Monroe:

"We just [baby-proofed] the house recently, but they are so smart. They know how to take the knobs and the baby proof stuff off. They know what's baby proof, so they are like, 'We are not suppose to be touching that -- so we are going to go touch that!' It's crazy!"

Ne-Yo and daughter Madilyn & son Mason:

"Madi’s a little rough and tumble with me because she was my first kid, so all of the little boy things I wanted to do, I did with her. She and I wrestle. [Mason is] the most mellow baby on the planet.”

The Game with sons Harlem and Justice (also has daughter Cali Dream):

“Today was the best day of the last 4,” wrote Game. “I just woke up today & got the idea to go & check all 3 of my children out of school early & surprise them with a random trip to Disneyland…. They had a blast & so did Daddy. Days like this make up for all the bad days I’ve ever had. The love my kids & I share balance my life so perfectly…. It’s almost too good to be true sometimes."

Kevin Hart with daughter Heaven and son Hendrix

“I was always the silly one.  Now I make my daughter laugh all the time. She thinks her daddy is crazy. Her vocabulary is growing, so it’s all about the big words. Right now the word is ‘hypothetical.’ She says ‘let’s go do some of that hypothetical stuff’.

Jamie Foxx with daughter Corrine:

“We walk out of a restaurant, they take pictures of me and her an they say, ‘Jamie Foxx with a hottie.’ Like they think she’s actually my girl. But she’s incredible, filling out. She’s walking down the street in Beverly Hills, people are blowing horns. I’m literally in the street, ‘You stop it! Walk past me! Hide your butt…! I’m so overprotective.”

Eddie Murphy with kiddies Shayne, Bria, Miles, Christian, Bella, Zola, and Eric:

Dwyane Wade and son Zaire and Zion:

The daily role I play in the lives of my two children is the single most significant undertaking of my life, and the job I take most seriously. While my basketball career has brought me many rewards – including an NBA Championship in 2006 and an Olympic Gold Medal in the 2008 Summer Games, my children are the two greatest gifts of my life.” 

Warryn Campbell (husband of Mary Mary's Erica Campbell) and kiddies Krista, Warryn III [Wozie], & Zaya:

"Father's Day means so much more to me now that I'm a father. I love my three children very much. They are the apple of my eye. All different personalities, but somehow all just like me. They love me even if no one else does. I now fully understand my dad and all he did and does for our family. I'm going to take time to celebrate the man who taught me how to be a man."

Usher and his sons Naviyd & Usher V:

“Naviyd is addicted to peppermint, but he had already had dinner and dessert. So I told him he couldn’t have any candy, and he walked off. A couple of minutes later, when he thought I couldn’t hear, he was asking my mother if he could open a peppermint candy. He was trying to manipulate the situation.” (Usher says he had “a good laugh” at Naviyd’s efforts, but ultimately denied him the candy.)

Ziggy Marley with Judah, Gideon, and (Baby) Abraham"

Will Smith and daughter Willow and sons Trey & Jaden:
 

“That Willow, she is, uh… See, boys are easy. Like, it’s really easy with boys. It’s like, until you can beat me in a fist fight you’ve gotta do what I say!”

Snoop with sons Cordell & Cordae and daughter Cori B.:

My kids always heard my music from day one so they've been exposed to everything. They've been exposed to the truth because the truth don't have no prejudice. I've always expressed nothing but reality to my kids so that they understand when they leave outside of my house that it's a real world out there and it's not gon' be catered to you with maids, butlers and tutors. You're gonna have to go out there and survive and make it happen on your own.

Nas & daughter Destiny:

I ask her [if I was a good dad when she was growing up] from time to time. She says I was great. She says I was cool. So, yes, I did my best. But it wasn't good enough for me. So that's why I did this ["Daughters"] record.

Chris Rock and daughters Zahra, Lola & Nazeeri:

“I was definitely telling the guys at work [on the set of What To Expect When You're Expecting] what to do a lot of times.  It helps to be a dad in real life when you’re playing a dad on screen.”

LA Clippers star Chris Paul and son Chris, Jr.:

“Fatherhood has changed me for the best. It’s the best thing ever. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a dad who’s always been there for me and at every game, and I’m so excited to do that for my son."

Bow Wow and daughter Shai:

Right now, she's on everything Nickelodeon. Anything that comes on Nick. That's it. Anything that comes on Nick, she knows. It's really all up to her, you know? But of course, I'm Hip Hop so I already know what she's gonna listen to in the future.

President Obama and daughters Sasha & Malia:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to ALL of our every day, fun & amazing YBF dads!

 

SPOTTED: The First Family's NEIGHBORHOOD STROLL To A Fab WEDDING For Valerie Jarrett's Daughter

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 10:44 AM PDT

President Obama and his family were spotted on their way to the home of Valerie Jarrett for her daughter's wedding.  See the pics inside....

The first family was spotted walking through their Kenwood neighborhood in Chicago yesterday.  They were headed to the fab wedding of Valerie Jarrett's daughter Laura.

Because Ms. Jarrett only lives a few homes away from the Obamas, the neighborhood was swarming with Secret Service and Chicago police officers.

Sasha and Malia rocked cute pastel summer dresses for the nuptials.  And First Lady Michelle looked stunning in a stunning sequined bodice maxi dress.

 

Laura, a Harvard Law graduate, is the only child of Ms. Jarrett and the late William Jarrett.

 

And here's a pic of Laura with her new husband, who she met at Harvard Law, Tony Balkissoon!

Congrats to Laura!
