Erykah Badu & A$AP Rocky went WILD RABBIT for the Hennessy VS event in Chicago last night.  We've got pics and video inside...

 

As a spokeswoman for Hennessy's Wild Rabbit campaign, Erykah Badu hit the stage at Venue One last night.  She kept up her usual eccentric look for the occasion, including what looks like a new sharp fade she's rocking.

Guests enjoyed unforgettable performances by Ms. Badu, Mayer Hawthorne (above) and A$AP Rocky.

And clearly Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Lochte is still soaking up the celebrity scene as he sipped Henn with A$AP.  Hilar.

 

Check out Erykah on the carpet talking about what HER Wild Rabbit is and dishing on her two upcoming albums:

Posted: 29 Aug 2012 08:56 AM PDT

VH1 has released the season 2 supertrailer for T.I. & Tiny's reality show. Watch it inside and find out who will be interviewing Evelyn Lozada on "GMA."

 

Vh1's hit reality show "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle" is back for a second season and VH1 has just dropped the supertrailer. This season, we'll see T.I. navigating the worlds of parenting, television, and music while still expanding his brand.

Watch the supertrailer here:

"T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle" starts on Monday, September 3rd @ 9/8c!

 

 

Also on tv.....

 

"Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada will discuss the public demise of her marriage to Chad Johnson with ABC News on an upcoming segment of "Good Morning America."  Though she was originally slated to speak to Robin Roberts (who is going on medical leave), the interview will now be handled by Amy Robach.  

The Robin/Evelyn interview was supposed to happen this week in Evelyn's hotel room but it would have forced Robin to miss a treatment session for her blood disorder myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

And qute frankly, an interview with a reality chick who many feel was just a part of a publicity stunt gone terribly wrong, isn't worth missing a treatment over.  Get well soon Robin!

WE MISS MJ! Happy 54th Birthday Michael Jackson!

Posted: 29 Aug 2012 07:22 AM PDT

Today would have been the 54th birthday of the King of Pop.  Moonwalk to his memory inside...

 

The legacy of Michael Jackson lives on in the hearts of millions of fans around the world through his gift of music.  And though his kids and family were recently engaged in a vicious public battle, the King of Pop's musical legacy still retains its fresh and timeless appeal.

And fans have also found other ways outside of music to keep Michael's legacy alive.  Clark-Atlanta University now offers a course on singer called Micheal Jackson: The Business of Music.  And Spike Lee is producing a documentary on MJ for ABC called "Bad 25."  Spike said,

“This will be a very special Thanksgiving for all families to enjoy the genius of Michael Jackson. Big thanks to ABC for allowing people to witness the making of Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ album.”

Celebrate M.J.'s unique style in the gallery.....

GOOD ISH: Reagan Gomez Debuts Her New Webseries "Almost Home" + Trey Songz Urges Fans To VOTE

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 02:33 PM PDT

We love when YBF folks take matters into their own hands.  And fab actress Reagan Gomez has, for years, been privy to the lack of acting roles and opportunities in film & tv for black actors.  So she's doing something about it and has created yet another webseries where black actors can flourish.

 

Check out the trailer for her "Almost Home" webseries inside, plus Trey Songz speaking on why it's his mission to get his fans to vote...

Reagan sent over the following trailer fo her new upcoming webseries Almost Home that she wrote, produced and starred.  She said, "We have to start making these films, that we want to see, happen on our own. I'm trying to do my part. Hope you enjoy:) ."

Matthew Cherry directed the series, and also directed Lance Gross' film The Last Fall.  And both will be starting a KickStarter campaign next week to get funding for the production of the full feature.

Reagan tapped her hubby DeWayne Turrentine, his brother DeJuan Turrentine, Wesley Jonathan, Denyce Lawton, Jackie Long and more as her co-stars. Here's the synopsis:

After the death of their mother, Lisa and DeJuan decide to live out her dream and move to sunny, California. Lisa quickly finds a job while DeJuan gives up engineering school to become a singer. All seems well, but old troubles find them...mainly, Lisa’s abusive fiancé. Lisa learns to embrace her stronger self, while DeJuan learns a little responsibility isn’t such a bad thing.

The fab mommy of two tweeted moments ago about why she's making these moves on her own (including her previous webseries This Time):

My main goal is to continue acting, but also create more QUALITY roles for actresses of color. I'm starting small. The short. A webseries...

But Godwilling, with your help through kickstarter, we'll be able to make the feature version of #ThisTime. Time to be about it!!

We all have frustrations with Hollywood and the lack of roles for us. Can't keep complaining. Gotta be about it. I'm trying to do that;)

Word.  By the way, the multi-talented fab chick is gearing up for her October premiere of Fox's animated sitcom "The Cleveland Show," where she's the voice of 'Roberta Tubbs'.

 

While Reagan is also a political advocate for the America For Obama campaign (and doesn't hold back on Twitter about her political views), Trey Songz has taken on the mission of getting his fans to vote. 

Instead of just telling them about sexing, partying, popping bottles and saying Ahhh, he's telling them why it's hot to VOTE.  So he teamed up with OurTime.org, a non partisan group, to get out the vote.

The OurTime.org team of celebrities also includes Lady Gaga, Will Smith, Chelsea Clinton, Will.I.Am, Jessica Alba and many more to raise awareness and get people registered to vote.

SNEAK PEEK: Eva Marcille & Her Crew Talk Good Sex On "Girlfriend Confidential: LA"

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:15 PM PDT

Eva Marcille's new reality series "Girlfriend Confidential: LA" is kicking off next week.  And we've got an early sneak peek on what you're in for if you plan on watching.  Like in most cases, girl talk equates sex talk.  Check out the clips inside...

"Top Model" champ Eva Marcille is all about her girlfriends Denyce Lawton, Nikki Chu & Kelly Dunn.  And in an early sneak peek (above) of the show, we see the ladies at dinner delving into Eva's horny issues. 

Eva said she's noticed her whoo-ha gets more flashes of....something...at the oddest times.  Her girls told her she was just horny, and Denyce chimed in with, and we quote, "You just haven't been d*cked down that good.  That's why."

Oh.

And we're not sure if this is supposed to be obviously scripted or not (because Eva is putting on her BEST acting skills in the clip below that was released a while ago), you be the judge.

 

The show kicks off on Oxygen, September 3rd at 11p/10C. Will you be watching?

SPOTTED: Rihanna Serving Up Proper Leg Game In London

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 10:23 AM PDT

Rihanna jetsetted to London yesterday where she will be working on her new fashion line for the River Island clothing company.  And today, she popped out of her hotel to chill with her fans...and to flaunt her killer legs.  Pics inside...

 

Rocking studded denim cutoffs, a KENZO "Paris" sweatshirt & KENZO hat, and her fave new Gucci "Patriotic" bag, Rih Rih made her way out of her hotel today to sign some autographs and kick it with her fans.

The busy chick is in town to work on her new clothing line.  And it's clear she's still been working out her bod all summer as the pop diva showed off her toned & sexy gams.

Chick loves a mismatched look.  But we're not mad since all we're paying attention to is her leg game.  Work.
