| FASHION FACE OFF! LaLa Anthony VS. Cassie In 3.1 Phillip Lim Posted: 12 Apr 2013 09:25 AM PDT
These gals love fashion....but you decide which chick did this 90's inspired 3.1 Phillip Lim tee the most justice. It's a LaLa Anthony & Cassie Ventura fashion face-off inside....
VH1's "Full Court Life" star LaLa Anthony was spotted out in NYC yesterday walking down 5th Avenue after leaving her new apartment. The reality star rocked a black 3.1 Phillip Lim Get It Girl cotton-appliquéd silk-chiffon top ($175), embellished with oversized letters and pretty floral prints. She paired the look with white skinny jeans, black pumps, and her wine colored Birkin bag. But, "Paradise" singer Cassie rocked the hot 3.1 Phillip Lim tee first earlier this week when she hit up BET's "106 & Park" to introduce her brand new video. The model chick added a bit of tomboy flair with black sheen covered capris and turned up the color factor with Christian Louboutin Dufoura metallic-leather, PVC and suede sandals ($1095). So.....about this 3.1 Phillip Lim tank.... WHO ROCKED IT BEST?!

Halle Berry is making pregnancy look effortless...and very sexy. Check out her hot spider lace dress for the Rio de Janeiro premiere of her movie The Call, plus Nicki Minaj getting catty with her ample ASSets.... The ladies are showing off their bumps in the sexiest of ways. Halle's new baby bump is stopping her effortless sultriness. CHick stepped out at the Rio premiere of her box office hit in this long black mermaid dress with spider style lace covering the sides, arms and back. And it's one of our fave pregnancy looks of hers so far:
Yasss. This back is everything. There's a few pregnant chicks out there who haven't been able to get their style right and are taking notes profusely.
Meanwhile, "Idol" judge and "High School" rapper Nicki Minaj is showing off her bumps of another kind. Her well enhanced booty (whether it's enhanced by her clothes or by injections) is on full display in a new photoshoot she's given us a peek at:
The cheetah, leopard & neon yellow printed two slit dress showed off her curves and put these brown caged boots on full display. Feeling a bit 90's, but kinda hot nonetheless:
Nicki just released another video off her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded--The ReUp album for "Up In Flames". So chick is milking this re-up of a re-up album for all it's worth. She's also in the midst of shooting a new video, just released the ad for her Pink Pill for Beats by Dre, and is readying her new clothing line for Sears. She may not be fully our cup-o-tea, but we love a hustle.

"RHOA" star Porsha Stewart stepped out last night (sans wedding ring) with Tatyana Ali, Laz Alonso and others for the MegaGrowth event, "Tress To Impress". See pics of Bravo star Quad, Andrea Kelly and more inside.....
Porsha Stewart (shown above with Tatyana Ali & Laz Alonso), who became the most talked about housewife on "RHOA" once her divorce went public, stepped out in Atlanta last night ringless and happy as she hit up the MegaGrowth's "Tress To Impress" event. It all went down at The Mane Event at King Plow Arts Center. The almost single gal tweeted, "I'm here at the relaunching of @MegaGrowth !These products are great for natural, permed, AND colored hair Thanks Mega Growth for having me!"
Porsha tweeted that she picked up her black and white off the shoulder dress from Reve Boutique. Maybe it's just us but something seems different about that face. Yet and still, chick looks damn good to be going through an extra rough & very public divorce. Loves the dress. And about that wedding ring she finally removed, a source close to Porsha explained, “When he (Kordell) filed for divorce, she found out about it online. So she kept her wedding ring on out of shock at first, then in hopes they could still work it out. But she’s finally realized Kordell is not the man she thought he was." We could have told you that boo..
Just about everybody took a stroll down the carpet with P. "Married To Medicine" star Quad Webb-Lunceford and "LAHH ATL" co-star Ariane Davis were amongst the chicks who snapped some pics.
The ladies were joined by MegaGrowth's Strength of Nature Marketing Director Charlene Dance.
"Second Generation Wayans" star Tatyana Ali, in a sexy leopard cut-out back dress, helped host the Relaunch of MegaGrowth.
Tatyana posed with Jennifer Hudson's hair stylist, Tasheara Neshell.
Tatyana hosted the event with sexy "Deception" actor Laz Alonso. That man, that man..... And yes, we're letting him slide with this sheer American flag contraption. We almost missed it getting so caught up in his sexiness...
And "Hollywood Exes" star Andrea Kelly also walked the event. Wondering if she left her edges at home. We love her and all her baby hairs though...

From NY to LA, YBF chicks love a good restaurant. So NeNe Leakes was spotted out with her hubby Gregg last night having a wine & dine sesh, plus Tracee Ellis Ross was spotted taking pics of the paps during lunch with her girlfriend.
Pics inside.... The Leakes were spotted having a meeting at Mr. Chow with some friends in Beverly Hills last night:
The "Glee" actress and "RHOA" star may have been celebrating her new million dollar empire. Can't wait to see what (and who) NeNe's serving up in part two of the RHOA reunion this Sunday...
And over in NYC:
"Girlfriends" star Tracee Ellis Ross, who's been busy working on her own fashion website, hit up hotspot Bar Pitti for some Italian lunch with her friend:
And the fab chick, rocking her gorgeous brushed out curls, turned her on camera on the paps.
Tracee can pull off anything--including Timbalands and a cute sweater and a motorbike jacket. Loves her.

| Kim Porter RESPONDS To Fired Nanny's Lawsuit, Says She's A Liar & CONVICTED SHOPLIFTER! Posted: 12 Apr 2013 06:35 AM PDT
Kim Porter is fighting back after her ex-nanny filed a lawsuit against her saying she did drugs around her own kids. Check out what Kim exposed about that nanny inside... People in glass houses.... The nanny, Dawn Drago, that sued Kim Porter for firing her after she claims to have caught her with "white powder"....allegedly cocaine....and weed around the kids, isn't such a goody two shoes herself. Kim Porter responded to the lawsuit saying not only is Dawn a major liar, but she was convicted of shoplifting and never divulged that on her application for employment! Diddy's babies' mama says what Dawn is REALLY pissed about, is that she got nixed for lying on her time sheets. So her bitter self is simply suing for retaliation purposes. Just like we all figured. Dawn's lawyer tried to respond, but the ish didn't make sense:
Bitter chicks who like to steal aint no good. Do we believe it's sill possible Kim left her capsules of cocaine out & her kids got into them? Yep. But will anyone care since this chick revealed that tea in the wrong place at the wrong time? Nope. Good luck with finding another job though.... |
| A$AP Rocky & Chanel Iman BOO'D UP Backstage At Diamonds Tour....With Kathy Griffin Posted: 11 Apr 2013 04:44 PM PDT
A$AP Rocky lived out every man's dream of a backstage threesome the other night. Kinda. We've got exclusive pics of A$AP and his rumored girlfriend Chanel Iman getting cozy in Anaheim during the Diamonds tour... A$AP Rocky was rumored to have scooped up gorgeous model Chanel Iman as his new boo thang after they were pictured getting pretty cozy during NYC fashion week earlier this year. And now that Chanel is jetting from city to city with the rapper during the Diamonds tour, it's safe to say they're more than just friends. Before A$AP took the stage to open up for Rihanna in Anaheim this week, the twosome snapped some pics with comedienne Kathy Griffin who stopped by to say wassup.
Can't say A$AP and Chanel aren't an odd couple, but they do share a love for fashion. We guess that love could spill over into a love for each other. So, are we feelin' these two as a couple?

| GIRL FIGHT: "LAHH" Star Erica Dixon SCRAPS With Shay Johnson, LEAVES Her BLOODIED....ALLEGEDLY Posted: 11 Apr 2013 04:20 PM PDT
The second season "LAHH ATL" has yet to hit the airwaves and we already know that one fight we'll be seeing is Lil' Scrappy's baby mama Erica Dixon fighting his "best friend" Shay Johnson. Get the deets on the bloody quarrel inside....
Last night, "LAHH" star Erica Dixon allegedly left Shay Johnson bloodied and scratched up after an apparent fight outside of a nail salon. You'll recall these two have a history of bad feelings from last season's LAHH ATL season finale. We're sure tv cameras were there for this too (because that's the point of fighting right?), but details are a little sketchy as Mona Scott-Young had everyone sign an air-tight confidentiality agreement. But here's what we've heard...the ladies we're all at Karlie Redd's hair launch party called "Redd Champagne And Weave." (Triple sigh at this name.) And word on the street, according to Funky Dineva, is the parking lot was left red with blood. Reportedly, Erica and Shay are beefing. Still. We assume from the "LAHH ATL" trailer that the beef has everything to do with Lil' Scrappy. Erica was already at the party when Shay apparently looking to start some ish. Some kind of way, Erica ended up in the parking lot with Shay (sounds like that scene when Scrappy rolled up on Stevie J in that parking lot during season 1) and the two began fighting. After the fight, Shay was supposedly seen bleeding and ushered into a bathroom inside the salon where one of the hairstylists spent an hour getting her hair and makeup together. Well, at least she was in the right place for that. Conflicting reports have both chicks "winning" the fight....as if anyone wins when two chicks square off on television. Time & the VH1 cameras will tell....

| OUT & ABOUT: Coolio's Still About That Spiked & Braided Life Posted: 11 Apr 2013 03:30 PM PDT
Been wondering what Coolio's been up to? No? Well we're telling you anyway. Check out new pics of the "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper out in Cali yesterday....
Just when we thought a head full of spiked out braids were just a 90's fad.....Coolio's gone from a full head of the signature spiked braids to a full on Alfalfa struggle.
Coolio, who was spotted grabbing a cig and filming something on Cannon Drive yesterday, turns 50 this year. He even appeared on "Celebrity Wife Swap" last month, so it seems like he's still interested in remaining relevant in some way. We get that this is the style that has become synonymous with Coolio himself. But....maybe its about time to let it go dude.

| DUMPED! Reebok DROPS Rick Ross From Its ROSTER! Posted: 11 Apr 2013 02:27 PM PDT
After weeks of mounting criticism and protests, Reebok has dumped rapper Rick Ross from its roster following controversial lyrics the rapper touted about rape. Read their statement inside... Shoe-giant Reebok has taken note of the negative publicity it's received since Rick Ross released his controversial "U.O.E.N.O." song, and dropped the rapper's endorsement deal. In a statement to TMZ, Reebok said,
It will be interesting to watch how Rick responds to being dropped from the brand since he's already offered two half-assed apologies showing he has no clear concept of women's rights, civil rights or just what it means to not be an a**hole. So we couldn't agree more with Reebok's statement. We suspect he'll act like a typical cocky rapper and throw jabs at Reebok on his next mixtape and claim that the women's groups, rape survivors and other critics are simply "haters." But all jokes aside, we hope Rick Ross uses this as a wake up call and educates himself about the rape culture, and uses his huge platform to simply do better. |
| FASHION FACE OFF! Bridget Kelly VS. Kandi Burruss In Karen Millen Posted: 11 Apr 2013 01:18 PM PDT
Both singer Bridget Kelly and "Kandi Factory" star Kandi Burruss were spotted rocking Karen Millen recently. Decide who ran the look inside.....
Earlier this week, Grammy-winning Roc Nation singer Bridget Kelly celebrated her 27th birthday party at New York's 40/40 Club with celeb friends like Jay-Z, Rita Ora, Kelly Rowland, and Timbaland. BK rocked Karen Millen's colorful Statement Zig Zag Pencil Dress with a silhouette waistband, mesh back detail and a Karen Millen branded metal zip. Bridget paired her dress with sexy black sandals. But earlier this month, fellow Grammy-winner & "RHOA" star Kandi Burruss, wore the same Karen Millen zig zag dress for her appearance on BRAVO's "Whatch What Happens Live". Kandi brought out the colors of the dress even more with bright yellow pumps to complete her look Outside of a few rings on their hands, both songstresses shied away from jewelry and let the dramatic colors pattens of the dress do all the work. So....
WHO ROCKED IT BEST?

| NEW MUSIC: Kanye Introduces Pusha T's "Numbers On the Board" Posted: 11 Apr 2013 12:41 PM PDT
Kanye West wasted no time co-signing on his Big Bro Jay-Z's "Open Letter" that dropped this morning. So he and his G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T just released their own version of an "I got ish to get off my chest" track. And reportedly they just wrapped it.
Check out Pusha's "Numbers On The Board" inside....
Kanye returned to Twitter for the first time in a few months to give his support of Jay's "Open Letter" saying:
So Ye's designer Virgil posted this "No Artwork" artwork to preface Pusha's own "Numbers On The Board" track that seems to have been produced by Mr. West himself. Apparently the fellas were making a statement that they didn't need artwork to get their point across. They only need the music. And they've put up serious numbers of their own throughout their careers to prove it. Check out "Numbers On The Board" below:

It pays very well to be a Bravo Housewife...at least for NeNe Leakes. Reports are surfacing that the reality star has signed on for season six "RHOA" for a cool million bucks! Get the deets inside.....
During season four of "RHOA" when Nene Leakes first uttered "I'm very rich", many viewers gave her the side-eye. Fast forward to season six, Nene is collecting tv checks from "Glee", "The New Normal" and just signed a contract with BRAVO for a reported $1 Million dollars (and that doesn't even include her bonuses!). It turns out she is "very rich." According to Radar Online, a source with intimate knowledge of the season 6 contracts said, "NeNe is the one viewers watch. She knows that, Bravo knows that and that’s why they gave her a raise." So how did the other housewives respond to the news? Radar's source tells them, “Everyone gets it, NeNe is the favorite, but they’re still jealous, of course. They wish they could earn what NeNe makes because they don’t think she would be nearly as popular without fighting with them." Though NeNe seemed to be burning the candle at both ends for season 5 as she commuted between Atlanta and LA, she's really happy with the way things are working out. The site's source says, “She likes being on the show. NeNe is really happy with the New Normal and Glee, where she can be a real actress, but she knows her bread and butter comes from Bravo and that’s why she’s coming back, ‘cause she can’t turn the money down!” By the way, all of the "RHOA" cast members have reportedly officially signed on for another season. Congrats NeNe!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays on Bravo at 8/7c. |
| FLAWLESS: Kelly Rowland Caught MAKE UP FREE Out On A Beauty Store Run Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:19 AM PDT
Kelly Rowland proves that it's not just makeup that makes her one of our fave YBF beauties. She's a natural doll! Check out pics of the "Kisses Down Low" singer getting caught out at Ricky's beauty supply inside... Before she hit up the ELLE Women In Music event last night, Miss Kelly made her way to the nearest Ricky's beauty supply to pick up some products. Who doesn't love a good Ricky's run? And even though she didn't have her "face" on, the singer even snapped pics with her NYC fans who spotted her in the store. She doesn't need all that makeup anyway:
She switched out of her sneakers and white tee and slipped into chic black leather pants and Saint Laurent heels for the ELLE event last night. And right before, she grabbed drinks with her girls Jessica White, LaLa Anthony & Po Johnson:
Fab times indeed. Photos: Pacific Coast News/LaLa's Instagram |

A nasty scuffle reportedly went down between Lil' Wayne and Miami native Tricky Daddy over Weezy's "F*ck Miami" rant from earlier this year. Find out who got a cigarette butt tossed at them inside!
Note to out-of-town rappers, no matter how famous you think you are....you shouldn't insult the proud locals! On Monday, Lil' Wayne was invited to host the re-opening of Miami's King Of Diamonds Strip Club (they've got new LED-lighting!) but that invitation stirred up some bad feelings amongst MIA residents like Trick Daddy. You'll recall that Weezy let his feelings get the best of him during All-Star Weekend when he went on an infamous rant insulting the Miami Heat's starting lineup, which many took as a direct insult to the city itself. Then he refused to apologize for it (but he did he take back his words about LeBron James).
Fast forward to Monday evening when some of Dade County's finest (between 40-50 dudes to be exact) all walked into KOD's re-launch party with rapper Trick Daddy, all to have a few words with Lil' Wayne (who was there with Mack Maine). We're sure the dudes just wanted a friendly apology from Weezy and intended to welcome him back to Miami with open arms....but ish quickly went left. Though King of Diamonds did tweet, "YMCMB in the Building!!!!! No worries", one of their followers said, "@KOD_miami trick daddy in the house ni*gas betta watch they mouth! #slipnslide #f*cklilwayne #f*ckkod #tootsiesallday." According to MTV's Rap Fix, sources at the strip club that night say Trick and his crew went over to confront Weezy and that "talk" led to Trick flicking a cigarette butt at Weezy. From that point on, it's only reported that Weezy was escorted out of the building after bruhaha broke out. Unfortunately, it's hard to fill-in what happened between the 50 dudes walking in and the cigarette butt being flicked because the streets don't "snitch". But something clearly happened. Neither Trick nor Weezy have commented about the alleged scuffle, but back in Feburary, Trick told Vlad TV about MIA ish talkers,
Since we don't think Weezy ever got around to doing that "check in", perhaps that explains why he was escorted out. |
| Ray J EXPLAINS "I Hit It First" Track, SAYS "It's About My Life...It's A True Story" Posted: 11 Apr 2013 09:56 AM PDT
Ray J is coming clean about his latest hit "I Hit It First" and reveals what we already know--if it's REALLY about a certain someone and her baby daddy. Find out what he said inside....
With eye-brow raising lyrics like, "She might move on to rappers and ballplayers / But we all know I hit it first ... I had her head going North and her ass going South / But now baby chose to go West", it's pretty obvious Ray was firing shots at his ex Kim K.'s baby daddy-to-be Kanye West. So Ray J called into the Bay area's Wild 94.9 to discuss his new song "I Hit It First". Of course everyone assumes the track is about K & K, but Ray J remained coy about the exact intent of the record. He only admitted that it's a true story and he's having fun. Clearly. He added that in the coming days he will reveal the "model" featured on the track's cover (though we suspect its Kim K. or a chick he hired to re-create that Kim K. beach pic we all know the cover is based on). And there will be a video coming soon. Of course. Here are the highlights:
And when asked if the video will have a certain "look-a-like" cast in the role of the video vixen, he simply said he thinks people will look-a-lot. Very crafty Ray...
Listen to the interview here:
BONUS:
Ray J recently shared a pic from the set of his latest hosting gig, "Bad Girls Club All-Stars". "BGC allstars coming next month on #Oxygen lotta money on the line!! Stay Tuned!" Is an All Stars version of this show really necessary? |
