| Posted: 18 Jan 2012 08:32 AM PST We told you earlier about "UK STAR" Magazine claiming to have Beyonce's first post-baby interview, and we said it wouldn't be the first time a publication staged a fake interview with a celeb. And now there are reports from Beyonce's camp that the interview was indeed fake. Deets inside.... According to Mama Tina, the interview reported by "UK Star" about Beyonce and Blue Ivy was fake. Ms. Knowles told "Access Hollywood" that the article was, “Completely made up.” Beyonce's rep also told media yesterday there was no truth to the interview. But it doesn't end there, because the UK Star editor is standing by their “world exclusive first interview” saying,
So Mama Tina says it didn't happen. But the editor swears it did. It wouldn't be the first time a reporter made up an interview. Nor would it be the first time a celeb back tracked on something they said. So......who do you believe?  |

| FIRST LOOK: Sanaa Lathan Gets FAB As The New Face Of PANTENE! Posted: 18 Jan 2012 06:24 AM PST Actress Sanaa Lathan is putting her great looks and envious hair to good use. She's been named the brand new face of the Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion collection. And TheYBF.com has the first look at her fresh-faced new photoshoot for her new gig.... Pantene's new Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Collection is getting all made up with a pretty face. The 40-year-old "The Cleveland Show" actress, Sanaa Lathan, has just officially been named the new spokeswoman. As for how she keeps her hair looking naturally healthy with that flowing look she constantly rocks on the red carpet, she revealed, “It is important to me that I treat my hair with products that have naturally-derived ingredients, like Cassia in the Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Collection, which has made my hair so soft and strong.”
And since she doesn't just wake up with perfectly healthy hair, she admits all the styling has indeed ripped her mane apart. So she dished on her fave products that work for her.
“Throughout my life, Pantene has been one of the few hair care brands that effectively address the specific needs of my hair texture," Sanaa says about the product line. "My hair is prone to dryness and my career does not help the situation! All of the styling and heat on set leaves my hair dull, lifeless and damaged. I need a shampoo and conditioner that nourishes my hair and I want to use more natural products. That is why I love Nature Fusion Moisture Balance shampoo and conditioner. It is great that, as a black woman, I can look to a brand like Pantene to provide my hair with the nourishment it needs.” Gorgeous pics.

| Posted: 17 Jan 2012 01:07 PM PST Former child star Kyla Pratt is all grown up and with a child of her own whom she talked about on "The Wendy Williams Show." Get the deets on her baby and her relationship inside and find out about Big Boy losing over 500 lbs. Kyla Pratt stopped by the "WENDY" show today to promote her new role on BET's "Let Stay Together" and most importantly, she cleared up rumors about her personal life. The ish hit the fan a while ago after fans found out that Kyla had a 1-year-old daughter named Lyric (reportedly with a former stripper). Kyla, who's 25, told Wendy that she did not announce her pregnancy because she didn’t want to deal with the negativity that some of her industry girlfriends dealt with when they had babies out of wedlock. But she said, again, that she did not hide. She says she went to Disneyland (while 8 months pregnant) and had a baby shower attended by 200 folks, including her BFF, actress Jennifer Freeman. She says her man KP is a former competitive stripper (even though she tried to give it a different name in that long letter a while ago) and now works as a tattoo artist. She then showed off the tatt he put on her wrist of their daughter. Plus, she says marriage is definitely in the future!
Watch Kyla's interview here:
And later on "WENDY"..... Big Boy dropped by to promote his An XL Life book where he talked about having surgery to lose 500lbs in order to save his life. But during the interview....Wendy jokingly offered him a twinkie! Also during their chat, he revealed that he simply wanted to live and he knew his lifestyle was very unhealthy. He also added that he had a vision that he would be dead in a year if he didn't get fit. He now encourages others to get healthy and choose life.  |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2012 12:20 PM PST Beyonce Knowles is speaking out for the first time about her brand new baby girl Blue Ivy! Well, according to a UK magazine. She reportedly dished to the UK magazine STAR about her emotional experience of becoming a mom for the first time, how great Jay-Z has been as a new dad, and more. Check it inside... Star Magazine in the UK (no affiliation with the STAR magazine tabloid here in the US) claims they have nabbed the first Beyonce post-baby interview. Beyonce's reps haven't confirmed this interview actually took place and it wouldn't be the first time someone made up an interview involving a high profile celeb. With that said, the mag released a few snippets from the chit chat. On her excitement of being a mom for the first time "Nothing can describe the feeling ... when you hold (her) for the first time, the words can’t be found. You have the instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you, but when you hold it for the first time, the words can’t be found. It’s an old cliche that the thing expectant moms look forward to the most is holding their child in their arms for the first time, but it’s one of those clichés that is a real truth."
On Jay-Z in the delivery room “He would not have missed it for anything. He is a very protective and loyal guy by nature. He is a very protective husband, and since we have found out I was pregnant I have seen the protective father in him.” On who will be on diaper duty “He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father. He has already said publicly that providing isn’t love. Love is being there. Love is doing little things for your child.” On the couple's parenting so far "I am so excited. From the time I knew I was pregnant we have been parents. A child is the greatest gift you can receive, and we are so excited and blessed to be in this situation....We are all great, we are just glad to be going home and starting this new stage of our life. The hospital staff have all been so great, but we were ready to go home and show our beautiful daughter where she will be living.” The full interview will be in the upcoming issue of UK STAR magazine. And in D.C. over the weekend at BET Honors, both Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, new aunties to Baby Blue, gushed about the little bundle of joy. Kelly told Essence.com the 2-week-old little girl is "beautiful" while Michelle said, "We’ve been doing everything, whatever [Beyonce] needs. Though there is one thing the ladies can’t help their superstar friend with. No breastfeeding. Ain’t no milk coming out. The Randomness: 1. "The Game" star Hosea Chachez has a new boo...and it's his ex-girlfriend form 9 years ago. Story  |
