The colorfulness continued as Nicki Minaj wrapped up her MAC Viva Glam promo appearances around NYC last night. Pics of the Barb and Rocsi getting their fave lippies inside... She's the new MAC Viva Glam girl and pushing her own lip color for a cause. Ricky Martin tapped his celeb friends--including Nicki--to create a lip color in which 100% of the proceeds would go to fighting AIDS in Latin American countries. She rocked a pink and blue striped dress and matching blazer. And colorblock sky blue and royal blue Giuseppe Zanotti heels with a blue Chanel bag: This wig.... BET's Rocsi also hit up the event in a Helmut Lang top, her fave black Louboutin spike toe pumps, and her MAC Ruby Woo lipstick. Nice. Pics via SPLASH/INF  |

| Posted: 16 Feb 2012 05:42 AM PST Lil Kim made an appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" show last night on Bravo. Kimmy entered the clubhouse and talked about her fond memories of Whitney. And, of course, she was asked about her stint in prison...and Nicki Minaj's GRAMMY performance.
Check out the pics and video inside, plus the rap chick hitting up The Blonds fashion show... Kim didn't appear to want to talk about Nicki last night, but the fellas asked. When asked by co-guest Willie Geist what she thought about the GRAMMY performance of "a certain hip hop artist who rips off [Kim's] style," Kim responded that she thought nothing and the performance slipped past her. So when Andy read q's from the audience--one being what she thought about Nicki's "Stupid Hoe" song--Kim responded: "I'm pretty sure I feel the same way everybody else feels right about now. If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe' then you must be the stupid hoe." Well.... Peep the video above. And video of Kim remembering Whitney Houston and a funny moment she shared with her on a flight to the Bahamas. Kim also dished on the smart and creative people she met in prison.
And before going on Andy's show, she attended The Blonds' show as their VIP guest for Fashion Week and rocked their design: Interesting.  |

| Eva Marcille, Paula Patton, Red Head Tracee Ellis Ross, & Angela Simmons GET GLAM For Fashion Week Posted: 15 Feb 2012 05:29 PM PST
Eva Marcille hit the runway while Adrienne Bailon and Angela Simmons were among the celebs catching the shows at fashion week. See the pics inside.... Eva Marcille put those "Top Model" skills to work today as she strutted the runway for the Sachika fall 2012 fashion. An looked stunning while doing so.  Later, the designers Tam & To-Nya Sachika took a final bow at the show.  Adrienne Bailon and her friends Layla Kayleigh & Julissa Bermudez attended the Whitney Eve show after one of their wardrobe changes. No Fab in sight.   Paula Patton was spotted with Amber Heard earlier at the Michael Kors show rocking the designer himself.  Paula and Amber sat front row with Debra Messing, Jessica Alba and Anjelica Huston.  She kicked it backstage with Mr. Kors after the show. And laughed it up with fans outside. During the Michael Kors show, Katie Couric sat next to Tracee Ellis Ross at the show. And it looks like Tracee switched up her look and became a red-head. Angela Simmons and Tyson also attended the Whitney Eve show. With his pink do, Chris Benz and actress Jessica Szohr attended the Chris Benz fall 2012 presentation. Is this chick ever coming back to "Gossip Girl"?

The Randomness: 1. Lil Wayne MAY or MAY NOT be engaged. After he tweeted "She Said Yes" on Valentine's Day yesterday, folks rightfully thought he meant he proposed. He followed up with another tweet saying he asked "her" to be his Valentine and she said yes. And ended with "Y'all krazy." Really? Now TMZ says a restuarant in Miami claims Wayne had the wait staf present his girl with a canary diamond ring and he proposed. So WHO KNOWS. STORY  |
| RUMOR CONTROL: Trina Braxton's Husband Gabe Solis DENIES Affair With Transgendered Woman Posted: 15 Feb 2012 12:22 PM PST News broke yesterday that Gabe Solis, the husband of Trina Braxton whom we see every week on We's "Braxton Family Values" reality show, was allegedly involved in an affair with a transgendered woman Julisa Abadshian. Now, Gabe claims it's all false and he is a victim of photoshopping. And confirms he has a sex addiction.
His statement inside... Gabe claims THESE pics posted yesterday are not what they seem. After the story broke, Gabe reached out to TheYBF.com to explain that he has never met this Julisa person, and he in fact had to download the application in order to find out who she was. He said he did discover a request pending from her. Which means, to us, that he did use this site at one time. But he claims to have never engaged in any type of communication with her. His statement says the whole story is inaccurate:
He continued his statement with his admission of sex addiction:

| Chris Brown Leaves L.A.

Find out what he said inside and watch the behind the scenes footage of "Turn Up The Music." After a successful GRAMMYS return, Chris Brown was spotted at LAX yesterday preparing to board a flight: And he was traveling with girlfriend Karrueche Tran of course. But Chris didn't leave LA without showing his a$$--literally--and sharing a few choice words with people who hated on him and his Grammy performance. He tweeted, “HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F**** OFF!” He deleted the tweet and wrote, “IM BACK SO WATCH MY BaCK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy.” And then deleted that one too. I personally loved his return. I guess second chances are supposed to only be for a reserved few. In other Breezy news.... He released a behind the scenes video for “Turn Up the Music,” which he co-directed with Godfrey Taberez. Chris said, “I’ll let you guys judge but this Turn Up the music video hands down is probably my best video by far!!!"

We wanted to give it personality, we wanted to make it fun, we wanted everybody to see this and wish they were there.” Check it. Photos via Bauer Griffin  |

| Nicki Minaj Makes Her Colorful NYC Rounds To "GMA" & The MAC Boutique Posted: 15 Feb 2012 09:08 AM PST Leave it to Nicki Minaj to bring some color to a dreary NYC day. The "Roman Holiday" rapper made her way to "Good Morning America" this AM, alongside with her co-spokesman Ricky Martin, to dish about her new lipstick color for MAC Viva Glam. We've got pics of her making her rounds inside...
Over at the "Good Morning America" studios earlier, Nicki and her ample a$$ and multi-colored dress teetered over to Robin Roberts' couch to chat about her why she revealed her characters at the GRAMMY performance and her lip color with the MAC Viva Glam collection, which is a collaboration of musicians fighting AIDS. 100% of the proceeds of the collection will go to fighting AIDS in Latin American countries. Peep the video HERE. Nicki also revealed she lost an uncle, who was living in Trinidad, due to AIDS. So she wants to promote awareness in Caribbean islands as well. And wants to preach to her young Barbz to abstain from sex. Alrighty. Check out the behind the scenes footage of Nicki Ricky shooting their MAC Viva GLAM campaign:
Nicki also pulled a change up into a bright orange skirt and multi-pink striped top and headed to the MAC boutique nearby: She posed with some of her young Barbz outside her hotel first. By the way, the rapper who has fragrance and clothing lines in the works revealed in her April 2012 Allure magazine cover interview (check the sneak peak of her spread below) her friendly competition with Jay-Z: "I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. He said, 'Congratulations on all your success.' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm coming for you. I'm coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul." We'll see... Her issue hits stands March 20th. Pics via SPLASH  |
