COUPLES RETREAT: Niecy Nash, Mo & Kita & Their Men Share The Love In Mexico

Posted: 09 Jul 2012 09:55 AM PDT

Gotta love YBF love!  "The Soul Man" actress Niecy Nash hosted her second annual Couples Retreat this weekend.  And this time, she hosted her hubby Jay Tucker and her girls Mo Jackson & Kita Williams (formerly of "The T.O. Show") and their men in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at Villa La Estancia.  We've got the cutesy pics and deets of their vacay inside....

You know we all love a wedding around these parts.  But we also love when couples put in the work...after the wedding.  

So a hot location and a few couples a Black Couples Retreat does make.  Niecy tells TheYBF.com, "We gathered in a great location to eat more, laugh harder & love richer!"

The trip was also a late birthday surprise for Kita, who is still engaged to her boo Joe.  Remember that fat engagement ring he gave her on the last season of "The T.O. Show"?  It's still in place and the twosome hopefully got some marriage tips from Niecy & Jay--who've been married for 1 year, and Mo & her hubby of 6 years, Victor Nelson.

Check their vacay pics below:

Loves the love!

 

Cassie Talks New Mixtape Rock-A-Bye Baby, Exchanges Lovey Dovey Tweets With Diddy

Posted: 09 Jul 2012 09:01 AM PDT

Cassie was a busy lady over the weekend.  The model/singer announced her upcoming mixtape, Rock-A-Bye baby via a letter to her fans, rocked a new photo shoot (sneak peek inside) and exchanged lovey dovey tweets with Diddy.  Looks like these two have no problems going public with their love these days.....

Over the weekend, Cassie seemed to be missing her boo (and boss) Diddy.  And decided to post her feelings on Twitter saying:

I miss my Pop Pop. I feel incomplete

Diddy--her Pop Pop apparently--responded:

miss you too! :) meet me in Bora Bora! haaaaa ;) 4real doe! see you soon CC :)

Of course, he deleted it several hours later, likely after sobering up or just thinking twice.

Meanwhile, Cassie tweeted the above hot pic--in a black & white striped Balmain look--while on the set of a new photoshoot.  She also annonced she's gearing up for a new mixtape to offer her fans, since they have waited so long for her Electro Love album.  She says the sound is purely her whatever that means).  A snippet of the letter:

I'm working simultaneously on my album and my Mixtape/EP. I know you all are wondering, Mixtape, huh? Well... I think the best we can be as human beings is to be resilient, right? I'm now at Interscope still with Bad Boy, which is amazing. I have GREAT new management that you'll find out about soon and everything is FINALLY falling into place the way it's supposed to, but one thing is missing. The music being delivered to you. Now, we all know that this album has been years in the making. Creating, starting over, changing, leaks, growing, starting....never stopping :) BUT I wouldn't change any minute of it. You get a better version of me for being so patient. This additional project is for you guys. My Mixtape is called Rock-A-Bye Baby, don't take it so literal... Lol. You'll see why. I am so proud of this project. It's not pop, it's not R&B, it's Cassie. It's why you fucked with me in the first place. I love you guys and your continued love and support. I'm a lucky girl. So.... don't get frustrated OR upset with me!!! Okay??? ;)

Cassie also revealed she just wrapped a track with Ester Dean (pictured above in the studio with a superimposed TED while working with Ester) and is finishing up another track with will.i.am.  She said:

@esterdean caught Ted and I chillin' eating Ramen noodles in studio LOL

Fun times.

FESTIVAL RECAP: D'Angelo Hits The Stage In New Orleans + Keyshia Cole Rocks "I Had Enough Of No Love" + Photo Gallery

Posted: 08 Jul 2012 06:05 PM PDT

As the 2012 Music Festival kicked off in New Orleans this weekend, celebs flocked to the stage, the audience and all around the city for big music, good food and more.

 

Not everybody got rave reviews (D'Angelo), but we've got the pics and performances from Mr. "Untitled" and Keyshia Cole inside for you to judge...

Folks weren't too impressed with D'Angelo's hour and 15 minute set it seems.  With folks on the net reporting it was an underwhelming performance, it wasn't horrible.  TheYBF.com was on the scene--and really only noticed that D'Angelo and his crew must have been having a good ol time backstage with something rolled up or in their cups.  Because, yeah...

Check out his performances of "How Does It Feel" & "Sh*t Damn MuthaFu*er":

 

Keyshia singing her new track "I Had Enough of No Love":

And MJB performed Saturday night while interlacing her set with a cover of Chaka Khan's "Aint Nobody" and Charlie Wilson's "Outstanding."

Peep the gallery of photos below--and check back for updates as tonight is the last night of performances!

UPDATE: Tameka Raymond's Son, Kyle, Declared Brain Dead

Posted: 08 Jul 2012 05:10 PM PDT

After yesterday's horrific jet ski accident suffered by Tameka Raymond's son Kyle, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.  Details inside...

Reports now say that Kyle Glover, Tameka's son with ex-husband Ryan Glover, has been declared brain dead by doctors.

TMZ reports that no decision has been made about whether or not to remove from Kyle support.  But Tameka's ex-husband Usher did arrive into the Atlanta area to be by Kyle & Tameka's side at the hospital.  And Tameka has not left since she arrived via a private plane chartered by Usher.

11-year-old Kyle was reportedly hit in the head by a jet ski while floating in his inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta.  ABC News reports that a teenaged girl, who was also in the tube with Kyle, suffered a broken arm and a laceration to the head, and was airlifted to the hospital from the Lake.  An investigation is underway by the Department of Natural Resources.
