| Carmelo Anthony DENIES Having MARITAL ISSUES, Nicki Minaj CHATS IT UP On "The TONIGHT Show" Posted: 15 Jan 2013 08:38 AM PST Carmelo Anthony has spoken out about his "alleged" marital problems and also addressed his 15-day fast of "clarity" and how that could have led to the "Honey Nut Cheerios" situation. Find out what he said inside and hear about Nicki Minaj's dreams of becoming a bus driver on "The Tonight Show." After his post-game confrontation rampage against Kevin Garnett made headlines, many folks were wondering what set NY Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony off and if he was having problems at home. Though some rumors have Carmelo and LaLa living apart, Carmelo denies having any marital problems telling the Post after last night's game (that LaLa missed because she was at a makeup event): “Just letting you know me and my wife have no problems. We’re good. We have our time. We have our down time. She works. I work. We make it work. Communication is the key.” It seems like he admitted that their relationship (like all of them) may have its minor downs, but it's normal relationship stuff that everyone goes through. We don't need to rush them off to splitsville just yet. And though he didn't blame his hunger for the confrontation, he did reveal that he's just come off of a 15-day fast.
So having a clear mind...and "maybe" being hungry...and possibly having your wife insulted is enough to push any man over the edge right? Well, for his part, Carmelo hasn't confirmed how Kevin insulted him, but he did say again it was “something you don’t say to men.” And when asked about coming off his fast and what he's going to eat, he jokingly addressed the "Honey Nut Cheerios" and said, "I’m definitely going to get a bowl of that, for sure.”
And on television.... Nicki Minaj, dressed in her signature pink and a gold Versace necklace, chatted with Jay Leno last night on "The Tonight Show" where she talked about her performing arts background in high school and how she had dreams of becoming a bus driver as a child. Nicki has come a long way since that dream and said that if she ever became president that she would make "illegal" u-turns "legal" because she hates driving to the next corner. Yes...the important things. She also talked about her role on "American Idol" (which starts tonight on FOX!) and talked about what she looks for in a contestant. The head Barb says she wants that "IT" factor that she can't really describe, but you know it when you see it.

| SPOTTED: Jennifer Williams & Her New Man Cisco Rosado CUDDLED UP At The 40/40 Club Posted: 15 Jan 2013 07:58 AM PST It's been rumored for a little while now that former "Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams had a new man. And that her man was this guy pictured above. And it's indeed true.
Check out the twosome cuddled up at the 40/40 club last night inside... Jennifer Williams has been a happy girl these days. In between pushing her Lucid Cosmetics makeup brand and hitting red carpets, Jen ihas been getting boo'd up with her new man Cisco Rosado. The twosome were spotted cuddled up last night at BET's afterparty for the premiere of "Second Generation Wayans" and "Real Husbands of Hollywood". And it seems Jen is cool with being much more public about their relationship. No better way to say SO LONG to your messy ex husband and/or ex bestie than to be happy with a new boo. Cisco is the founder of CMG entertainment. Jen told S2S that the two met on the set of a video, and they remained friends...leading to an official couple status. Hopefully Cisco's giving her whatever she needs. Time will tell...  |
| MORNING FUNNIES: Torrei Hart Impersonates Ex-Husband Kevin Hart In ANOTHER "Basketball LA" Spoof Posted: 15 Jan 2013 07:04 AM PST Torrie Hart returns with another hilarious spoof of "BBW LA" and this time, she's taking on the role of ex-husband Kevin Hart for a hilarious romp. Watch the clip inside... Comedienne Torrie Hart is carving out a niche for herself with her "BBW: LA" spoofs. And this time around, she brings her ex-husband Kevin Hart in the mix with a SPOT ON impersonation that will have you spitting out your cereal. And we're sure Kevin won't mind because Torrie tells TheYBF.com that they both support each other's work. Sidenote: Whoever is playing Bambi is wrong.for.that.

| "RHOA"'s Walter Jackson Begs Andy Cohen To Let Him GIVE THE REAL On Kenya, Parties Like A Single Man Posted: 15 Jan 2013 06:41 AM PST Walter Jackson really wants his extended 15 minutes, y'all. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" semi-boyfriend of Kenya Moore is begging Bravo's exec Andy Cohen to let him give the real deal about him and Kenya.
Deets inside... After going on V103's radio station a while back dishing on his for-the-cameras relationship with "RHOA" star Kenya Moore, Walter's not done yet. He's been spotted with women on dates and such a few times, so he quickly got the wrap of being a player. Maybe this is what's prompting him to come out about his fake relationship. Now, Walter's taking it a step further by asking Andy Cohen...on Twitter...of he could go on his show ("Watch What Happens Live") to dish some dirt. He tweeted:
Why are we not surprised? Meanwhile, Walter hit up Atlanta's Metro Fuxon (pictured above) on Saturday and snapped pics with (and likely tried to get at) every woman in the place. Oh Walter... The Randomness: 1. ESPN commentator Stuart Scott has announced he has cancer again. This is his third time. STORY Pic: ATLNightspots.com  |
| CANCELED! Shawty Lo's "Baby Mamas" Show Gets The AXE Before It Even Starts! Posted: 14 Jan 2013 07:22 PM PST Annnnnd that's a wrap for Shawty Lo! Before his show could even see the light of prime time, Oxygen has canceled the rapper's "All My Babies' Mamas" show due to constant pressure.
Deets inside... After defending the show once it started the very short lived publicity campaign, the Oxygen network has put the kibosh on ATL drug honcho turned rapper Shawty Lo's made-for-foolywang "All My Babies' Mamas." That's right. You won't be seeing 10 women, who are all mothers to Shawty Lo's kids, play out their foolish, sad or cringe worthy behavior while Shawty stays in the middle being equally foolish and getting praised for it. The Daily Beast says their sources say Oxygen will announce cancellation any day now. Interestingly, the network first defended the show by saying, “It was not meant to be a stereotypical representation of everyday life for any one demographic or cross section of society.’’ Oh really? Interesting. The creator of the petition, Sabrina Lamb, worked to stop the show from airing. She stated in the petition (the gist of it) that the show would be a horrific example of life for a certain "group" of people. She told the Daily Beast:
She said on her Facebook page today:
Here's to hoping certain other networks follow suit with their foolish shows. But we doubt that will happen soon. Thanks Oxygen for choosing standards over quick money. Anybody can make a buck. But it's all about who is and isn't affected when you make one. Clearly, not everyone gives a damn.  |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2013 04:10 PM PST In case your new music playlist is lacking the latest beats, we have a treasure chest of banging updates for you. Inside, hear the latest from Santigold, Future featuring Ciara, Jaden Smith teaming with his sister Willow and Briana Perry matching up with Teyana Taylor.... Santigold recently shot a video depicting the essence of a certain group of New York women, showcasing a variety of shapes, sizes, ages, and personal styles. It's the title track for the soundtrack to the hit HBO series "Girls." The GIRLS – Volume 1 soundtrack also features songs from Robyn, Icona Pop, fun., Sleigh Bells, Grouplove & Fleet Foxes. In other new music... After a few false starts, Ciara might have finally come up with a breakout single to take her back to #1, and it's with her alleged new boyfriend Future. Produced by Mike WiLL Made It, she co-wrote the club banger "Wake Up, Turn Up" with Future and it will be featured his mixtape Future Presents F.B.G.: The Movie (January 15).
Also in music..... Jaden Smith has teamed with his sister Willow for a new track called "Kite." The talented siblings rap and sing over a laid back beat that's shockingly catching. Listening to the track you'll easily forget that they're just "kids", but it's plain to see they're loaded with talent and we'll be hearing and seeing alot more of them.
And coming very soon... Brianna Perry is gearing up to release her 'SYMPHONY NO. 9' (February 1) disc lead by this 80's influenced track "Take My Breath Away" featuring Teyana Perry. Relying heavily on the 80s song of the same name, Teyana's vocals draw the listener in while Brianna keeps you entertained as she walks you through the stages of a crushing on a boy.  |
| COUPLEDOM: Shaq and Hoopz BACK ON...INSPIRING Youth On The Basketball Court In The Bahamas Posted: 14 Jan 2013 02:45 PM PST Shaquille O'Neal and his girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander (yep...they're back together) were spotted cuddling off the court during a charity event in the Bahamas. See the pics inside... After a serious break-up and public fight last year, Shaquille O'Neal and his on-again girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander were spotted inspiring the youth in Nassau City. As a precursor to a gala for the Paradise Children’s Foundation (February 1), the NBA legend signed basketballs for fans while Hoopz showed off her skills on the court in an event staged by the foundation. The couple arrived with numerous items with they offered up for the gala's auction. Wendy Ellis, the foundation director spoke about Shaq's involvement and the purpose of the event saying,
Also, Shaq tweeted about his new venture with TruTV, a comedy series called "Upload With Shaquille O’Neal" where he and a group of comics will present funny online videos and create a few of their own viral clips. The series is expected in the early part of the year. Photos: Tribune242  |
| Meagan Good Talks Babies & Her New Stardom On "Wendy' Posted: 14 Jan 2013 01:25 PM PST Meagan Good has a new leading role on NBC in the network's newest drama "Deception." And today, she stopped by Wendy Williams' show to dish about how she nabbed the role, if she's next on baby watch and more....
Ms. Good was spotted arriving (in a hot fitted red dress) to The Wendy Show this morning in Manhattan. She arrived fresh faced and left out, signing autographs, in sweats looking just as flawless:
Wendy & Meagan talked about landing the biggest role of her career, exactly how long Meagan was celibate before marriage and more.
Must be nice to audition only once for a major lead role on network tv..... Pics: INF  |
| Sean Combs' "Make Up" GIFT To Cassie, Meets Ex Jennifer Lopez's BEAU Casper Posted: 14 Jan 2013 12:13 PM PST Though they've spent several holidays apart recently, Diddy seems to be making it up to Cassie with a few gifts and maybe a new home. See Cassie's latest present inside and a pic of Diddy running into his ex-Jennifer Lopez and her new man Casper. Though they allegedly went on a post New Year's trip to Jamaica, it seems like Cassie has spent many holidays alone recently. She wasn't with Diddy on Christmas or New Year's EVe (as he was with his kids and Kim Porter). And Cass she wasn't his date last night for the Golden Globes either. But Diddy does seem to do things to keep her happy. She tweeted last night a new pair of shoes that he purchased for her saying "I have the best man ever! Thank you for my shoes baby!!" And we told you a few days ago that he appears to be in the market for a new home...perhaps for the both of them.
In the meantime..... After the Golden Globes, Diddy headed over to The Weinstein Company’s celebration at the Beverly Hilton where he bumped into ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez (whom we all know he'll be forever in love with) and her new man Casper Smart. And it looks like Diddy extended his hand first. How gentlemanly. Or something...

| Posted: 14 Jan 2013 11:19 AM PST Talk about being ready for your close up. Who needs just one or two covers for one issue...when you can have SEVEN. To celebrate her seventh studio album Unapologetic, Rihanna rocked 7 different covers for the February/March 2013 issue of COMPLEX Magazine. And yeah, they're all pretty sexy.
Check the pics inside, plus how she balances a bit of narcissism with having a humble connection with her Navy... Rihanna spent much of 2012 being extra unapologetic...and that ish isn't stopping in'13. And there's something pretty refreshing about that. While she knows how to set people off by flaunting her roller coaster relationship with Chris Brown in people's faces, she still knows how to remain vulnerable and close to all umpteen million of her Twitter & Instagram followers. So it's only right she spent her interview giving tips about how to take the best selfie (she's perfected that craft over the years with hundreds of those a month), why her relationship still is nobody's business, and why she's unapologetic about seeming like a walking contradiction sometimes. Like how she could be narcissistic yet humble.
If only she could be so adamant about perfecting her performance skills as she is about taking the best Instagram pics....
More of her hot covers:
Seven different Rihanna covers not enough? She also did an exclusive gallery of selfies--since she's become the Queen of those on Instagram--for the issue. Here's a few:
Check out the rest over at COMPLEX.

| DO WE LOVE IT? Snoop Dogg's FRENCH Manicure Posted: 14 Jan 2013 10:21 AM PST We've all seen folks like Katt Williams and pimps from the Superfly blaxplotation era make perms and blowouts look "gangsta," but are manicures with french tips the next bold move amongst the OGs? See Snoop Dogg taking that step inside.... Truly living the luxe life, Snoop Dogg recently shared a pic of himself lounging in a fluffy white robe (like he just stepped out of a high-end spa) while smoking a blunt. That may sound like a "typical" Snoop Dogg evening but we couldn't help but notice his freshly manicured French tips. Snoop (who's currently performing in India) is definitely at the point in his life where he's considered a trendsetter and tastemaker so we have to wonder if any of his male fans are going to hop on the French manicure bandwagon. And fancy manicures aren't the only thing Snoop is into these days. He's also taken up the game of cricket! A few days ago he tweeted Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and said, “Ayo @sachin_rt am I seein u tonite? I need my Cricket 101! Uhearme." Wow, French manicures and cricket? Snoop's come a long way from Long Beach. So......Snoop Dogg's French manicure....... DO WE LOVE IT? |
| NOT AGAIN! Ice-T's Wife Coco Austin GETS FELT UP By ANOTHER Man In Second Pic SCANDAL Posted: 14 Jan 2013 09:27 AM PST
Unfortunately for Ice-T, one of Coco Austin's fans posted a pic of her in an uncompromising position and it had her feeling some kind of way. Find out what she said to the fan while trying to save her image inside.... Coco Austin is famous for her suggestive pics, but the recent release of a few shots of her in a suggestive pose with another man is poking holes in the brand that she and Ice-T have created on "Ice Loves Coco." We've already heard that Coco denies hooking up with rapper A-9, but the plot thickens. It turns out that A-9 is friends with a man named Moose Diesel, who's the former manager of ARIA Resort & Casino’s Haze Nightclub. A-9 claims he invited Coco and a few of her Peep Show pals and reality tv crew members out to party at the club and the pair later hooked up. But that's the OLD news. What we didn't know was that Coco was very camera friendly that night...and it's come back to bite her in the ass. Literally. During that night, Moose Diesel took a few pics with Coco...that she clearly posed for. And she was fine with the pics until he uploaded them on Instagram. Coupled with the recent "A-9" scandal, it wasn't a good look for Coco so she reached out to him and asked him to take it down. He responded, “It’s not a good look for you, not me . You knew what you were doing when you took the pic.” Though Ice-T is standing by Coco, these pics have to be a little embarrassing. Especially for a former pimp. We bet Superfly or The Mack wouldn't put up with that ish. And if that wasn't enough, now A-9 is talking about his night with Coco (pictured above grabbing her ass at the club supposedly recently) to HSK saying,
Word on the street is that there are a few steamy Coco pics floating around from that night and A-9 has taken a lie-detector test. And it could all be yours for the right price..... The Randomness: 1. Robin Roberts announces plans to return to "GMA" in a few weeks. Story.
