| BACK IN THE SADDLE: Rick Ross Set To Perform...TONIGHT Posted: 15 Oct 2011 09:22 AM PDT Rick Ross apparently thinks he's invincible. Because after 2 seizures in a 24 period yesterday, he's getting back to work and hitting the stage tonight.
Deets inside on his comeback gig.... We're no doctors or anything, but after having 2 seizures on two different planes in one day just doesn't seem like something you could perform a whole show after. But Ricky Rozay thinks so. The rapper is set to rock the stage at North Carolina A&T's homecoming concert tonight at Greensboro Coliseum, according to TMZ. Let's hope all goes a well. Rick Ross Back....again.  |
| Hey Keyshia Cole.....It's Your 30th Birthday! Posted: 15 Oct 2011 09:03 AM PDT 
Today is the 30th birthday of R&B singer Keyshia Cole. She partied it up in Cleveland last night for her big day.
Come inside and pop some bubbly in celebration of the big 3-0..... With the debut of her top-rated BET reality show, Keyshia Cole offered her fans an honest glimpse into her life, something celebs rarely do. Her hard knock life along with family drama (who can forget Frankie and Neffe!) revealed an artist who was both vulnerable and strong, who showcases all her feelings and emotions in her songs. And now that she's fallen in love, had a dream wedding (or 2), and given birth to a cutie patootie baby boy, Keyshia is right on track to have the life and family she always wanted. We love it!
Celebrate Keyshia's fresh start in the gallery.....  |

The official move poster for New Year's Eve starring Halle Berry, Ludacris and Sofia Vergara has been released. See the poster inside and watch the flick's latest trailer. Also, get an intimate look into Tyler Perry's life on the new "Visionaries" series being launched by OWN.
New Line Cinema has released the official movie poster for New Year's Eve which stars Halle Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert DeNiro, Ludacris and Sofia Vergara. The film, set for a December 9th release, follows several intertwining stories of love, hope, forgiveness and second chances, all set against the backdrop of New York City on NYE. Somewhat of a follow-up to the previous Valentine's Day ensemble cast film, as both films are directed by Gary Marshall. You may recall that the filming of this movie sparked a big battle between Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry.....let's hope it was worth it.
Watch the New Year's Eve trailer here:
In other entertainment news..... OWN is launching a new series called "Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind" and the first episode offers an intimate look into Tyler Perry's life. Viewers will see Tyler in action as he produces two films and tours the U.S. with his play Madea's Big Happy Family. He also let's the viewer see what he does to unwind during downtime. And no, we still don't see his "special friend" he loves to reference in his newsletters. The show starts Sunday at 8pm.

 Kanye West and Jay-Z aka The Throne have released a remix to their "Ni**as In Paris" off Watch The Throne and it features T.I. Listen to the song inside....

| BREAKING: OH NO! Rick Ross Suffers SECOND SEIZURE On Private Jet! Posted: 14 Oct 2011 05:17 PM PDT This can't be good. Rapper Rick Ross just suffered his second seizure in less than 24 hours. We just posted video of him post-1st seizure on a private jet heading to Memphis. But now his jet has just been grounded in Birmingham, Alabama!
Details inside.... TMZ reports that just hours after "Tupac Back" rapper Rick Ross received CPR after his plane had to be grounded due to him becoming unconscious after having a seizure, he has just suffered a second seizure. He posted a twitvid from his private jet stating he was all good just a couple hours ago, and his MMG groupmates Wale & Meek Mill all tweeted he was just fine. So they pressed on to Memphis. But apparently, all wasn't ok. Ricky was on his way to Tennessee to perform a concert (probably not the best idea after having a seizure hours before) and to open his new franchise Wingstop. He's been rushed to the E.R. after an emergency landing in Birmingham, and is now in stable condition. The concert producers have announced Yo Gotti will perform in his place tonight. Not sure what's going on but clearly a much more in depth medical evaluation needs to be done. And any advice needs to be adhered to. Glad to hear he's doing ok.  |
| "Rick Ross BACK!"....From Health Scare! Posted: 14 Oct 2011 03:39 PM PDT
Rick Ross back! We told you earlier about his apparent health scare that occured just this afternoon. And though his camp took the time to release this twitvid recorded earlier on his private plane, there's no mention of a "seizure." I supposed everyone is moving on......... I guess he wasn't going to let a seizure keep him down...CPR or not. Ricky Rozay just hopped on a private plane after his previous flight was grounded due to him going unconscious. Meanwhile, Mr. Maybach Music is performing in Memphis tonight and opening a new Wingstop restaurant tomorrow. Yummy! He tweeted:
Watch the video above about where he plugs his upcoming album God Forgives, I Don’t. He signs off saying, “It’s the boss, Ricky Rozay. It’s goin’ down.”  |
| DADDY DUTY: Game Brings His Babies To "Extra" Posted: 14 Oct 2011 02:37 PM PDT Newly engaged Jayceon "The Game" Taylor and his 1-year-old daughter, Cali Dream Taylor rolled to The Grove in L.A. to tape an episode of "Extra" yesterday. And he brought his sons to the set of the show as well.
Pics inside of the rap game's newest groom inside... Family day at The Grove! The Game brought his daughter and two boys Harlem & King Justice along with his fiancee to tape a segment for the entertainment show "Extra!" Likely to pub his already taped wedding proposal. He dished out kisses to his baby girl. And chatted with host Mario Lopez. Daddy-hood and hubby-hood looks great on him. Hopefully he stays out of foolish activities.... The Randomness: 1. Yikes! Chris Tucker is allegedly facing foreclosure on his central Florida mansion. Story Pics via WENN  |
| VIDEO FAB: Erykah Badu's "Out My Mind, Just In Time (Movement II)" Posted: 14 Oct 2011 02:11 PM PDT Erykah Badu is back with part II of the love opus off her New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh disc called ""Out My Mind, Just In Time" (Movement II). Watch the clip inside.....
Former dance theater major, Erykah Badu, continues with part two of her modern dance routine in the video for "Out My Mind, Just In Time" (Movement Two). The track appears on her New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh LP.
Watch the video here: BONUS: A few days ago her youngest child's father (baby Mars), Jay Electronica, had to check The Game and all rappers about using Erykah's name so negatively in their songs. Game rapped a line on Weezy & Tyler the Creator's new track "Martians vs. Goblins": “I spit like I had kids with Erykah Badu, I f***ed her on the day of that naked video shoot. I was sucking that p**sy like it was wanton soup.” Jay wasn't haven't it and sent these warning shots via Twitter:
*Snaps* I know that's right Jay-E!

| HOLY BABY BUMP! Beyonce Runs Rainy Errands Posted: 14 Oct 2011 12:10 PM PDT Beyonce was led around by her huge baby bump under her tight black mini dress in Manhattan today. She was out running errands in the rain. But, as always, Julius was there to hold the umbrella and protect her precious cargo.
Pics inside... In a short sleeved two-toned zip-front black mini dress (with a waist and back slit) that fit like a glove and showed her protruding bump, Beyonce looked cute and glowing and even completed her look with sky-high pumps. She's approaching the 6-month mark (if she hasn't reached it officially already) and still rocking these heels like it's nothing. After her errands, she later stopped by the set of good friend Gwyneth Paltrow's new film, Thanks For Sharing, a comedy about sex addicts. The "Countdown" singer hit the midtown area for a few rainy stops. Looks like she's proving to the naysayers she's actually pregnant. No fakery here.... Pics via INF The Randomness: 1. ABC just gave "Charlie's Angels," starring Annie Ilonzeh, the axe. The show was unfortunately horrible. Really was looking forward to it and wanted it to work. Oh wells. Story  |

As the temperature continues to rise, a sexy Ciara turned heads in a white back-tied top and a sarong with a thigh-high split. See the pics inside....

| EXCLUSIVE: Mike Bivins Responds To Beyonce's Ode To New Edition+Helps The Homeless Of NYC Posted: 14 Oct 2011 08:52 AM PDT New Edition & BBD founder Michael Bivins is still in the industry mix. On the heels of the male group working on a reunion tour, Mr. Bivins dished exclusively to TheYBF.com on how he feels about younger artists (most recently Beyonce) paying homage to vets like N.E. who opened doors for the huge boy bands after them.
Check out what he had to say about Bey's new "Love on Top" nod to the fellas, plus inside details on his mission to help the homeless of New York City.... In the sneak peek of Beyonce' Knowles' "Love on Top" video, she's clearly serving up her own rendition of one of the most popular R&B boy bands, after saying she wants to start her own some day. But was New Edition founder Michael Bivins, who helped pave the way for NKOTB, N'Sync, BSB, & Boyz II Men, feelin' it? Yup! He tells TheYBF.com:
And the advice he has for Bey about the type of father Jay will be:
Awwww! Mike also gave us some deets on how he's been giving back to the community. And the 43-year-old Boston native decided to tackle the often-ignored issue of homelessness. "Chivon Dean, the queen of the Ruff Ryders empire, was the messenger who invited me to speak encouraging words to her group of men at the Willow Men's shelter," Mike explained to TheYBF.com about how he got involved. "Rock bottom room of souls that want live and need help!" Biv produced a webisode of his visit to a men's homeless shelter in the Bronx. He's hoping to bring a broader awareness to homeless shelters specifically in the African American community. Check out the trailer above produced by his own Sporty Rich Enterprises company. About how others can help too, Mike says, "When you see something in your community that touches you to the core, whether it be homeless shelters, turkey giveaways, or a donation to a politician, just do what you can when you can because one person does make a difference."  |
