| Rihanna & Drake ON THE SET Of "Take Care" + Ciara OUT AND ABOUT In LA Posted: 10 Feb 2012 08:19 AM PST  Rihanna and Drake were snapped on the set of their "Take Care" video recently. See the photo inside and see pics of Ciara out and about in LA. Drake and Rihanna posed for this snapshot on the set of their new "Take Care" video. The video's director Yoann Lemoine looked super happy to be in this celebrity sandwich! And at a nail salon in LA: Ciara was seen leaving out with her two of her dogs in their Louis Vuitton carrier yesterday. And looked cute and casual in jeans and a red tee:  She recently dished about past missteps in her career saying, "I've been able to make mistakes in front of my fans. It's kind of fun to be able to learn as I grow and to know that my fans are growing with me. I feel so much good energy. At this point it's important for me to be the best businesswoman I can be. I really want to build my empire. I look at things completely different than I would have with my first album. I've learned so much, it's actually exciting. I feel like there is so much I can do. So much I can accomplish." She took her cap off before loading into her truck. And clearly wasn't happy to see the paps. Ciara will soon hit the big screen in the Adam Sandler flick That's My Boy.

| Posted: 10 Feb 2012 07:43 AM PST Whitney Houston went out partying last night and was seen with blood and scratches on her leg and wrist! See the pics inside and peep photos of a wild lingerie party at Shemar Moore's house.....
Last night, Whitney Houston was spotted leaving Tru Hollywood nightclub in LA. And she looked happy (we guess) and all, but why the blood and scratches??
Not too sure about what happened INSIDE the club, but Whitney (and her wig) both looked a little tired. Whatever may have happened, she was able to pull it together and sign a few autographs and show love to her fans. Sigh.....one has to wonder if the bankruptcy stories are true. And we hope those cuts--which some seemed to have been there a while--are purely accident.
BONUS....... Shemar Moore invited a few of his homeboys (and some lingerie models) over to his mansion for a Superbowl party on Sunday....and it looks like things got scandalous. TMZ copped these pics: The theme of the party was simple....and posted out back. "What happened at Shemar's house NEVER HAPPENED ... Let's Get It In!" So according to the theme...... Shemar NEVER hooked up with this chick! And these people were not there either! Really Shemar?

| DO WE LOVE IT?! Cassie's "King Of Hearts" Posted: 10 Feb 2012 07:04 AM PST Cassie's single "King of Hearts" has finally dropped in full. Check it under the cut and decide if we love it.... It's her first single off her upcoming Electro Love album. And conflicting reports cite Kanye West and J2 as the producer. Kanye did preview the track in a London club a few months ago during a DJ gig. The electro dance track is fast paced with her usual airy voice. Electro Love, her second studio album, is set for a May 2012 release via Interscope Records. So... DO WE LOVE IT?! |
| YBF Celebs ARRIVE For "Think Like A Man" Hollywood Premiere! Posted: 10 Feb 2012 05:48 AM PST Fabness was all over the place for last night's Los Angeles premiere of the Screen Gems film Think Like a Man at the ArcLight Cinemas. We've got pics of the stars of the movie, Gabrielle Union, Terrence J (and his boo Selita Ebanks), Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Hart and more. Plus celeb supporters like Serena Williams, KeKe Palmer, Diddy, Jennifer Hudson and plenty others.... And this is how we love our Gabby Union. The Think Like A Man star rocked her usual little black dress...but with a flare. She rocked a black Amsale chiffon cocktail dress with a twist bodice and a floral cut out skirt with jet beads and sequins. (Amsale Aberra is an Ethiopian-born couturier who is known for her wedding designs, and her boutique in NYC had its own reality show on We called "Amsale Girls"--which we LOVED.)
Cutesy and fab look for her. Wish she would have stepped up the shoes a bit though. Well looky here. Cast member Terrence J had his model girlfriend Selita Ebanks on his arm. One of the first times they've actually posed on a red carpet together. Guess you gotta pull out the stops when pubbing a project. Selita looked chic in this flowing white gathered dress and white pumps (sigh, y'all know how we feel about white shoes). Terrence went the preppy dinner jacket route with a polka dot lapel to pop on the white. All paired with grey slacks. Star Taraji P. Henson kept it conservative in a boatneck snakeskin longsleeved blouse with puffed shoulders paired with a below-the-knee tan skirt. Looks like a librarian who went to the club. But we love Taraji nonetheless. And Her mom is gorge! Great genes. Jennifer Hudson kept it frilly on the carpet: I actually like this look for her. The pleated skirt trend is on target, and she stepped it up with a two-tone, double layer mini version. Cute blue shoes to match her plain white tee accented by a blue necklace. And the fun wild curls to match. We're feelin' it. Diddy made his way on to the carpet to show some support. This man knows how to rock a casual yet sleek look. Meagan Good made her way onto the carpet in an eye popping white gown cut to show her fave assets. It's actually a great color for her, especially with the pop of red lipcolor, and a great fit. Sexy without overtly doing too much. Fab! One of our fave youngins, KeKe Palmer, hit the carpet to support the cast. She looked her usual cute self in a one-shoulder black dress with animal pnt embellishments. Can you already tell who this is? It's Serena Williams of course. The tennis pro rocked a bright blue cocktail dress with her fave black blazer for the occasion. And posed it up with her girls Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Speaking of Kelly, effortless as usual in leather leggings (which could have been more fitted) and a sheer grey blouse. And y'all know LaLa was there to complete the circle-o-firends. Toccara Jones in her white Herve Leger dress with a scalloped hem--Fab! This must have been what she picked up when we spotted her shopping there the other day. Ne-Yo is still touting his new artist Ravaughn Brown on red carpets. Former WNBA legend and mom of 2, Lisa Leslie, made her way to the carpet. Star of the movie Kevin Hart hit the carpet with his gorgeous girlfriend Emiko, who rocked a bold yellow maxi dress. Actress Sharon Leal hit the carpet in a nice blue strapless frock. But more importantly, is this her new man? Her ex-husband, Bev Land, was a dip in the snow for her a well. So maybe.... Funny actress Regina Hall hit the carpet. And Melyssa Ford wore this dated red dress which we're not feelin' at all. Good try though. Oh hey Morris Chestnut. Is that a hoodie under your suit jacket? Modelicious YaYa Dacosta hit the carpet in this mustard pantssuit and colorful headwrap. Such a fab chick. Elise Neal popped on the carpet with leopard booties. And funny co-star Romany Malco hit the carpet as well. Think Like A Man hits theaters April 20th. Pics: Pacific Coast News  |
| Angela Simmons, Jessica White And Others GET FAB For Fall 2012 Fashion Week Posted: 09 Feb 2012 03:54 PM PST
The beautiful folks have descended upon NYC for Fashion Week, Fall 2012. See pics of Angela Simmons, Jessica White and more inside... Jessica White was spotted looking in an interesting getup outside the tents for Fall 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at the Lincoln Center in New York City today.
We know Jessica loves fur.....and she did not disappoint.
She hit up the front row and backstage of the BCBG Maz Azria show: She also posed with the designer Max Azria. Fab times. And fab stylist stylist June Ambrose, in a Jewel by Lisa jacket, posed with Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan from the "Real Housewives of New York" at the Kim Hicks Couture show. Angela Simmons was also spotted looking sleek at the tents.
For the BCBG show she rocked this black ensemble with a gold choker/belt combo. You feelin' it? And after a quick change into a white pantsuit, Angela posed with Aisha Tyler and designer Tadashi Shoji at his show. J. Alexander was spotted at the Tadashi Shoji as well. Designer Dennis Basso posed with Star Jones before QVC's New York Fashion Week runway show at Center 548.
And we haven't seen this dude in a while. Damon Dash was spotted with Noah Ashman (what's that SPOT in between your legs sir?) at the Buckler by Andrew Buckler men's collection.
The Randomness: 1. "The Real Housewives of Miami" are returning. But Larsa Pippen is not. Story.

| Posted: 09 Feb 2012 02:24 PM PST Gloria Govan revealed mire about her "BBW: LA" drama and romance with Matt Barnes in a recent interview with web host Staci Harris. And guess who tagged along for the interview....MATT! Watch inside and get deets on new reports about Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez's engagement! Gloria Govan recently stopped by Staci Harris' web show where she dished on "BBW:LA," the Kardashians (mainly going in on Kris Jenner), and her on and off again romance with Matt Barnes. And guess who came to the interview with her......Mr. Matt Barnes! (The two are pictured above with the web show hosts.) Guess we were right when we speculated last week the two were getting back together. At the (4:26) mark, Gloria is asked about what happened during/after the "BBW:LA" taping with her split from Matt and HE chimes in saying "she was still giving up the a$$." Classy. Watch the interview here:
In other "couple" news......
Earlier, reports surfaced that Halle Berry want to move to France with her daughter and her "boyfriend." And people close to Halle originally shot down rumors they were engaged (rememeber this engagement news last month). Well apparently the emerald ring is still NOT an engagement ring, but they are indeed engaged, according to TMZ. Though they have not announced it publicly, new sources are saying that Halle and Olivier did indeed get engaged after the first of this year. The engagement would make sense as it would be weird to ask a judge to let you move your daughter away from her dad so you can shack up with your boyfriend in another country. Also, Halle has been receiving numerous death threats from stalkers and the move may indeed make her and Nahla safer. This custody battle is a mess, but congrats to Halle and Olivier! BONUS: Here's Halle & Olivier's new poster for their upcoming movie (where they met) Dark Tide which still doesn't have a release date:

| SPOTTED: Toccara Jones Looking SVELTE & FAB While Shopping It Up Posted: 09 Feb 2012 01:23 PM PST Tocarra Jones is looking all kinds of fabulous these days. The model/actress was spotted out in Beverly Hills shopping it up. We've got the pics of the svelte chick with her cutie pup inside... Former "Top Model" and "Celebrity Fit Club" contestant Tocarra was spotted in her jeans and polka dotted blouse shopping at Herve Leger and Wolford yesterday in L.A. And she has her ridiculously cute tiny pup in tow. Toccara, who turns 31 next month, made a few guest appearances on TBS' "Are We There Yet?" last season. And she also hit the red carpet of the ESSENCE Black Women In Music event last night. Our only question is...does this chick have a sponsor? We're not mad though. Do you boo. Pics: Fame/FLYNET  |
| FIRST LOOK: Will & Jaden Smith On Tropical "After Earth" Set + Tyler Perry's "Good Deeds" Sneak Peek Posted: 09 Feb 2012 12:14 PM PST Will Smith and his son Jaden were spotted on the set of their flick After Earth. See the pics inside and also watch the trailer for Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. Will Smith recently posted a few photos of he and son Jaden on the Costa Rican set of their next film After Earth. Previously titled "1000 A.E.", sci-fi flim is set 1.000 years into the future. It will follow a young boy who navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary land to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes on an alien planet. Set for a June 7, 2013 release, the flick is produced by Overbrook Entertainment with M. Night Shyamalan directing. Stephen Gaghan and Gary Whitta will handle the screenplay. Meanwhile, Jaden has a lot on his plate as he's also signed up to reprise his role in Karate Kid 2 with Jackie Chan. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith will be helping produce the film while screenwriter Zak Penn will do the screenplay. Also, Jaden will star in "Amulet" with Willow Smith while daddy hits the big screen in Men In Black 3. This family is on 100 right now in Hollywood. Makes you wonder just how truthful are the divorce rumors...do they even have time for one?? Also in movies....... Tyler Perry has released a sneak peek from Good Deeds. The scene stars his co-lead Thandie Newton. The film opens in theaters everywhere on February 24, 2012 and stars Brian White, Rebecca Romijn, Jamie Kennedy, Eddie Cibrian, Jordenn Thompson, and Beverly Johnson with Phylicia Rashad and Gabrielle Union.
And speaking of Ms. Union:
One of the film's stars, the uber fab gabby was spotted having dinner at Bianca Miami Beach this week. Looking great chick!  |
| EXCLUSIVE: LeToya Luckett & Michelle Williams Reveal They're In AWE Of Beyonce's Post-Baby Bod! Posted: 09 Feb 2012 11:14 AM PST TheYBF.com hit the black carpet at last night's ESSENCE Black Women In Music event in L.A. And the YBF celebs all had something to say about Beyonce's new post-Baby Blue bod. Check out what her former groupmate, LeToya Luckett, and plenty others expected from Queen Bey inside. Plus, Mama Tina is talking about Blue Ivy, who already has a trademark pending... It was Kelly Rowland's big night as an ESSENCE Black Women In Music honoree. But that didn't stop Michelle Williams from gushing about both Kel and their other sister Beyonce. And LeToya and others had something to say as well. Apparently, we weren't the only ones in awe of Mrs. Knowles-Carter's debut this week. "First of all, I already know, Bey stays in the gym and she's not gonna let none of THIS happen," LeToya dished to us on the carpet. "I know she done shook that weight already....so you gotta love her." Michelle was excited for the hot new mom and her new bod saying, "Honey...she is fierce honey!" And about Baby Blue, "She is darling and absolutely amazing and so, so gorgeous." Check out our exclusive red carpet chats with Michelle, LeToya, and more:
In other Baby Blue Ivy news, grandma Tina Knowles is loving every ounce of her. She told People mag at the Runway to Win fundraising reception this week: "She's doing great. She's beautiful. It's the second best job I've ever had." We're assuming being MOM to 2 successful daughters is first. Sweet! And about that trademark rumor on Baby Blue's name--it seems to be true. The Washington Post reports The Carters filed a trademark with the federal government last month:

| Jennifer Hudson, Janelle Monae And Jessica White GET FAB For amFAR's New York Gala Posted: 09 Feb 2012 10:09 AM PST Janelle Monae, Jennifer Hudson and Jessica White were amongst the celebs who attended the amfAR New York Gala in preparation of Fall 2012 Fashion Week. See the pics inside.... Jennifer Hudson stepped out in a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli gown last night at Cipriani Wall Street for the amfAR New York Gala. She also posed with Mr. Roberto Cavalli himself, who was the honoree of the night, at the event. Gorgeous look for her. Jenny chatted it up with Cindy Crawford over dinner. Model Liya Kebede also attended in an interesting look for cream and black pants with a matching blouse. Model Joan Smalls looked fab in this black ensemble with a vampy lip color. Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes looked gorgeous in her red gown and high ponytail. She also posed with Mr. Cavalli inside. Theophilus London also attended.....in these jeans. These slits though... Janelle Monae was literally showing out in her silky black blouse. And we're not mad! It's the sexiest look we've seen her do as she usually keeps to her buttoned up black and white ensembles. But it looks like somebody's ready to step it up a notch in this very deep V-neck top. She also performed in her more conservative look.
Jessica White hit the scene in red and reminde dus turbans aren't for everybody: Not really feeling the headpiece or the gown, but chick sure seemed confident striking a pose. Designer Rachel Roy was also there in a neutral ensemble of a light tan gathered dress, black blazer, and nude pumps. The black-tie gala was hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker and raised money for AIDS research, prevention and education. Photos via Splash / Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images North America  |
| VIDEO FAB: Jay-Z & Kanye Drop 'N*ggas In Paris" Vid Posted: 09 Feb 2012 09:23 AM PST The Throne just dropped their video for "N*ggas In Paris." Check out visuals of Jay & Kanye rocking the stage on tour with special effects likely to cause seizures...
We've been waiting for months for the visuals to Kanye West & Jay-Z's huge "N*ggas In Paris" track. And it just dropped. Instead of shooting an original video, the fellas used footage from their Watch The Throne tour stop in Los Angeles with plenty of special effects on top. Kaleidoscope effects, laser lights, and tigers all over the place. And seeing that they performed the track 10 times in L.A. (and umpteen times in most cities), they had plenty of footage to pull from. Would have still preferred a hot original Euro themed video though. Peep the vid. The Throne is up for 3 Grammys this Sunday including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for "Otis."
