While there, the bubbly actress got into a "wig pulling" cat fight with the Wendy. Watch the video inside.... Gabby Sidibe stopped by the "WENDY" Show this morning to promote the release of her new comedy, Tower Heist. During the chat, Gabby told the audience that she is just a "normal" girl despite her fame and celebrity friends. She added that she doesn't live in a fancy apartment and she can't drive or cook! But when Wendy asked about her love life, the talkative actress became very coy only offering, "I have a gentleman caller." And before she left, Gabby, who first showed off her flair for sketch comedy on SNL, did a little scene with Wendy. The pair, pretending to be "RHOA" stars Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes, got into a hilarious catfight and wig pulling. Watch the funny clip here:  |

| NEW COUPLE ALERT?: Selita Ebanks And Terrence J.? Posted: 04 Nov 2011 07:46 AM PDT A couple of weeks ago, we received a tip that Selita Ebanks and Terrence J. have been spending lots of time together recently...and it's more than just friendly group dinners. And after the twosome hit up an event in NYC together last night, we definitely have our eye on them.
We've got the deets on the Victoria Secret model and the "106 & Park" host's budding new relationship.... Selita and Terrence partied with a big group of friends--including Estelle at Natasha Bedingfield--at Happy Endings Lounge on the Lower East Side in NYC a few weeks ago. October 20th to be exact. And our source who spotted the group tells TheYBF.com that Selita & Terrence, who is still filming his movie Think Like A Man, appeared to be in their own world together. We're told Terrence was getting sexy intimate lap dances from Selita, who was rocking an uber short mini dress, all night while they got a little affectionate. All while the rest of the group partied it up amongst themselves. And now that Terrence popped up at the 401 Greene Photography & Fashion auction in Soho last night, which Selita hosted, we've got our eye on these two. (pictured above) They made a point to snap pics separately though. Terrence recently shot down rumors he was in any type of relationship with cougar Toni Braxton. And now we may know why....

| COSMO GIRL: Kelly Rowland Chosen As "Ultimate TV Personality" In The UK Posted: 04 Nov 2011 05:38 AM PDT Though she's only been on the UK's "X Factor" for a few months, Kelly Rowland has already won the country over, being chosen as ""Ultimate TV Personality" by Cosmopolitan Magazine. Get the deets on Kelly's big honor inside....
Last night, Kelly Rowland was honored in London as the UK's "Ultimate TV Personality" at the Cosmopolitan Women of the Year Awards. Held at the Banqueting House, the annual event honors celebrities and professional women who are making a significant impact in the UK with their career endeavors. And while Ms. Rowland looked stunning in an elegant pink gown, the evening had its bittersweet moments as she dined with her remaining "X Factor" mentees Misha B and Janet Devlin (one of her girls was voted off last week.) Kelly recently revealed in a Radio One interview that she feels partly responsible for her girls being in the bottom two on the program while she was M.I.A. in L.A.
But now that she's back, I'm sure she's going to fight for Misha and Janet as she tweeted, 'My girls are great, they're actually here with me tonight. I was absolutely… upset when I saw my girls at the bottom two.' And after catching up with previous "X Factor" winner Alexandra Burke (who stood in for her on the judging panel), she revealed that she is still in recovery mode from her throat infection,
And as she continues down the road to wellness, Kelly is gearing up for the UK release of Hear I Am disc on Nov. 28 (with 5 additional tracks). When talking about it, she said,

| Grab A Glass Of Ciroc! Happy 42nd Birthday Diddy! Posted: 04 Nov 2011 05:27 AM PDT
Whether you call him Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy or simply Diddy, we've all been touch in some way by hip-hop visionary Sean Combs. On his 42nd birthday, celebrate Sean's contribution to hip-hop in our gallery. As far as urban culture goes, Sean "Diddy" Combs is the dude who tells us what to wear, what to drink, where to go AND what to listen to once we get there. And with an estimated worth of $500 million, he's a "hustler" while doing so. And we've watched his journey of clubs brawls, baby momma dramas, and quest for love and fulfillment for a while now. Let's celebrate the 42nd birthday of the man who made a vodka as much of a household name as Colt 45. Drink up...  |
| Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Host Tyra Banks, Chanel Iman, & More For Keep A Child Alive Benefit Posted: 03 Nov 2011 07:30 PM PDT Alicia Keys is continuing her charity work with her groups who benefit children with AIDS. She, along with husband Swizz Beatz, hosted her 8th Annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC tonight.
And we've got the pics of the fab folks who attended inside... Mr. & Mrs. Beatz hosted their celebrity friends tonight for Alicia's annual AIDS benefit for children in Africa and beyond. And this year, Alicia wanted the focus to be on India. Alicia, who also performed tonight, told MTV News this week:
More pics from the red carpet: Loves the look of the winter white tailored blazer with the gold sparkling blouse. And she's been loving her black pants lately. Nice. Supermodel and 'ANTM" host Tyra Banks looked stunning in a purple strapless mermaid style evening gown with bow-tie detail: And paired it with a red lip. Kerry Washington made a lovely appearance in her white stripe-on-tulle dress and nude Louboutins. Very interesting.
And I love it. The Anthony's showed up in matching all black...and LaLa with her head piece on. Interesting.... And besties La and Serena Williams kicked it inside.
And Serena looked nice in a black gown with gold belted hardware and cut-outs near the bottom. Queen Latifah put on her black suit and hat and looked pretty damn dapper: Nice. Model Chanel Iman looked nice in her black and white number. Looks like the halter was about to hang to low and expose her goodies though. And will.i.am and Gayle King were there to help celebrate in the benefit as well.  |
| "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada Nabs Book & Film Deal...With Cash Money Posted: 03 Nov 2011 06:31 PM PDT Evelyn Lozada started taping "Basketball Wives: Miami" Season 4 today. And she's got some other big news too. She nabbed a 6-figure book and film deal with Cash Money Records' literary division called Cash Money Content.
Deets inside... Evelyn's putting all her baller dating stories to good use and making some cash off of them. She reportedly just signed a deal with Lil Wayne & Birdman's publishing division of Cash Money Records. Cash Money Content, which just kicked off this year, is in partnership with Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. And they also focus on turning literary works into films. So what's Evelyn going to be writing about? Her life as a baller girlfriend of course. Fictional novels based "loosely" on her life of dating professional athletes to be exact. And she's using the alter ego Eve Inez-Landon. Her first literary work, according to the Hollywood Reporter, will be called The Wives Association. She loves that W word doesn't she? It'll be co-written by "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" writer Courtney Parker. Evelyn says:
Magical is one word for it.  |
| Is Kanye Still Pining For Amber Rose? (VIDEO...And Amber's Response) Posted: 03 Nov 2011 04:13 PM PDT  Last night during the Watch The Throne tour stop through Philadelphia, Kanye West had a very vulnerable moment where he broke down in the middle of "Runaway" and gave a very intimate "shout out" to... "an incredible girl from Philly." Amber Rose much? Could Yeezy regret splitting with Ms. Rose? Watch the video inside and check out her response.....
The Throne rolled through "The City Of Brotherly Love" yesterday and Mr. West got all caught up in the moment. During his performace of "Runaway," the self-admitted asshole (we don't think that though) went on a long rant (what else is new?). But this time, it was about love. And that he misses a chick who sounds very much like....Amber Rose! He told the audience,
Then it got very personal,
He continued by admitting that he was/is an "a$$hole" and he f*cked up because "....I thought you'd always be mine." It was like listening in on a private conversation you know you shouldn't be hearing.
Fast forward to the 3:40 mark to hear Kanye talking about who we all know is Amber: Complex asked Amber what did she think about it all. And she said this is her 50th interiew today (alrighty) and she's constantly being asked about it. BUt since she's "doesn't follow what Kanye's doing," she knew notheing about it:

JET asked the ladies to give their takes on all their other castmates. We already know after this morning that Sheree and NeNe are no longer cool. So Sheree said about NeNe, "I wouldn't trust her as far as I can throw her." Kandi applauded NeNe saying, "She's a hustler....She's about getting paper. She's always got something in the works." But kept it real about Kim saying, "She's the type of person who knows how to play dumb when she wants to but really knows what's going on..." Kim stayed mum about her frenemy NeNe saying, "It is what it is..." and revealed that she finally stopped smoking once she got pregnant again. Phaedra said about Kandi, "She's a brilliant businesswoman. She reminds me a lot of myself, and I just love her." Of course she does Phaedra.... Cynthia said about Kim, "We definitely had some tiffs, but only about trivial things. But on the show it ends up looking like big things." NeNe revealed she has a wine coming out and she's now a restauranteur--after opening her Famiglia franchise. And she had some ish to say about her castmates. About Kandi she said, "She's real, she's down to earth. But Kandi is not easy to get to know. I actually find her kind of mean." About Sheree she says, "Sheree is very mean spirited. I think Sheree thinks she's everything. She's got a bad attitude." And about Phaedra, NeNe commented, "I almost feel like she was that girl at home looking at the tv going, 'Let me on that show!' I call her Fake-dra." The issue with the full cover story hits stands Monday, November 7th. Bring on the drama.... The Randomness: 1. It's your LAST CHANCE to vote in YBF's 2011 Halloween Costume Contest. VOTE HERE!  |
| UH OH! Rihanna Cancels Second Concert, Cites "Deteriorating Health & Exhaustion" Posted: 03 Nov 2011 10:59 AM PDT Rihanna cancelled another concert last night while in Sweden. This time due to severe exhaustion. Deets inside.... With tons of nightly concerts, back-to-back world tours, prepping to release a brand new album, photoshoots galore, and still partying it up in between, it looks like the rockstar lifestyle is catching up to Rihanna. She cancelled a concert for the second time last night (November 2) in Stockholm, Sweden due to severe exhaustion. And this comes after her first cancellation in Malmo, Sweden a few days ago when she twitpic'd her IV while suffering from the flu. But she made up that date the next day. Live Nation spokesman Kristofer Akesson tells the press that Rihanna was feeling ill ahead of her concert in Stockholm Wednesday night and decided, in consultation with a doctor, to cancel the show just an hour before she was to go on stage. Akesson stated:
Live Nation didn't give any other details, but an insider says that the 23-year-old could barely function:

She chatted with Maria about season four of "RHOA" as well as "Celebrity Apprentice" and opening her own pizzeria. She tweeted about her segment saying, Hey tweetie pies I've been a working girl out n LA all day! Here i'am shooting wit Extra @ the groove Meanwhile, fellow "Housewives" Sheree Whitfield, Kandi Burruss, and Phaedra Parks rolled to the "Wendy Williams Show" (along with Phaedra's hubby Apollo and Kandi's mom Joyce) this morning. And Sheree revealed why she and NeNe are no longer friends at all..due to fame blowing up NeNe's head:
And about the blowup we can see in the season preview--it was all over money: "It was an appearance that I had to do; I brought NeNe in on it—actually Kim, as well—and she tried to pull from me and Kim, what we were getting. I don’t care about all the other things that she does, or things that she says ‘cause it really doesn’t affect me ‘cause we’re really not friends like that. We’re acquaintances. When you try pull money or take money from me, that’s just really low,” she added. Anywho...the three ladies took Wendy's stage to try to perform the hit kandi wrote for TLC, "No Scrubs."

| BOND GIRL: Naomie Harris SIZZLES At "Skyfall" Photocall With Daniel Craig Posted: 03 Nov 2011 09:35 AM PDT YBF chick Naomie Harris turned heads yesterday as she joined her brand new co-stars Berenice Marlohe and the uber sexy Daniel Craig for their photocall for the upcoming 23rd James Bond flick, Skyfall. See the pics inside... Yesterday, actress Naomie Harris appeared at a photocall for "Skyfall" the 23rd Bond Film at the Massimo Restaurant & Oyster Bar in London. She's the newest YBF chick to be a part of the Bond franchise. And were freakin' excited about it! The British actress is set to be Bond's ride-or-die chick (but not necessarily his love interest) on the big screen on November 9, 2012 when the film debuts in the States. And though folks are very secretive about the film's deets, it has leaked that Naomie plays a character named "Eve" who becomes the new Miss Moneypenny (M's secretary). The original Miss Moneypenny character --back in the 60's--had an infatuation/crush on James, hoping he would marry her. In return, James flirts with her whenever he visits M's office. She has been known to help James hide his love affairs with other women. Her character is attractive, loyal, clever and intelligent. Also, during the photocall, the women were referred to as "Bond Ladies" not "Bond Girls." The entire cast was there for their first pics for the new film. Naomie posed with Javier Bardem, Berenice Marlohe, Sam Mendes, Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. You ready? Photog: Marsland
