| Kevin Hart & Girlfriend Eniko CUDDLE UP At The Clippers VS. Lakers Game Posted: 05 Jan 2013 07:56 AM PST Last night, the Battle of L.A. went down inside of the Staples Center as the Clippers took on the Lakers.

| Tyga Talks GANGSTA RELATIONSHIP With Blac Chyna, GAMBLING, And PUTTING A "187" On HIP HOP Posted: 05 Jan 2013 07:00 AM PST "Rack City" rapper Tyga stopped by Big Boy's neighborhood to talk about his baby mama Blac Chyna, his Young Money partners, gambling, and his next moves in the music business. Watch the interview inside.... Tyga promoted his "187" single with Rick Ross on Big Boy neighborhood recently and revealed that there's meaning behind the song title (e.g. he's murdering the game). He also said he hopes to work with Chris Brown on a new mixtape at some point, “Whenever we stop driving Lambos and posting pictures on Instagram, maybe we could finish it.” He talked about his love for his baby mama Blac Chyna. When asked who said "I love you" first or if sings songs to her, he said he isn't that type of dude. This either means he doesn't do those things or he just wouldn't reveal them in public. He did offer up, “We got a real gangsta relationship. Ya’ll not gonna see us doing no crazy, corny stuff. We go to the strip club together, do stuff like that.” Big tried his hardest to get him to show his senstivtive side but it didn't work. And if he had to chose between saving Nicki Minaj or Drake from drowning and there was only room for one on a life raft, he'd save Nicki. And between Drake and Lil' Wayne, he said "I'd extend both hands." Then he admitted, he'd save Wayne. He also talked about his love of roulette and revealed that though he's not a big gambler, he's had nights where he's lost at least $40,000.

| WAY TOO COLD: Beyonce Hits The Freezing Streets Of NYC On Mama Tina's Birthday Posted: 04 Jan 2013 07:38 PM PST Beyonce Knowles isn't letting the below freezing temps of a frigid NYC ruin her style game. Pics of the R&B diva hitting the streets today inside... The "Love On Top" chick posted new pics to her Instagram page Friday night showing off her look of the day. She managed to stay fab despite the freezing cold and trekked her nude spiked Pigalle Christian Louboutin pumps to her office in midtown Manhattan. Today also marks her mom, Tina Knowles', 59th birthday, so the fam may have been off to celebrate. Or maybe she was working on her upcoming Superbowl halftime performance coming up next month. Or...maybe working on a possible new collabo with Lady Gaga and Azealia Banks. After Bey posted a pic of herself rocking Ratchet earrings and looking like she was having some fun on a video set--with a video camera in the background--folks started believing that she was hopping on Gaga's upcoming "Ratchet" track she recorded with Azealia Banks. Gaga also posted her own Ratchet earrings back in November. Azealia is a self-proclaimed huge Beyonce fan, and Gaga has already rocked out with Beyonce on two previous collabos. Time will tell...

| Posted: 04 Jan 2013 04:11 PM PST Tahiry Jose, the urban covergirl who first caught the public's eye as Joe Budden girlfriend is set to stir the pot on season 3 of VH1's hit reality series "L&HH." Check out TheYBF.com's exclusive interview inside....
VH1 is amped up for season 3 of its urban soap-opera "Love & Hip Hop" (January 7) and this season we'll see a cast of both new and familiar faces who are full of excitement and drama. One of the new faces gracing the small screen will be Dominican model Tahiry Jose (shown atop with co-star Rashidah Ali at Thursday night's premiere party). The Harlem native first rose to fame through a series of online video posts from her then boyfriend, rapper Joe Budden (who also stars on "L&HH"). Though the show has yet to debut, the drama between the former couple has already spilled off screen and into social media with the pair bickering about Joe rapping about her on his most recent mixtape, A Loose Quarter. Tahiry spoke exclusively to TheYBF.com about it all. Here are the highlights:
Fans can check her out at tahiryonline.com and on Twitter: @TheRealTahiry. Love & Hip Hop 3" kicks off January 7th, 8p on VH1. Pics: TheYBF.com/VH1  |
| PHOTOSHOOT FRESH: Porsha Stewart Covers DENIM Magazine + Dawn Richard Rocks GOLDENHEART Promo Shoot Posted: 04 Jan 2013 03:17 PM PST "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart glammed herself up even more than her daily usual to grace the cover of DENIM magazine. Check it out inside, plus Dawn Richard's newest pics from her GOLDENHEART photoshoot... She may not be the smartest crayon in the box, but you gotta love Porsha's love for glam. The newest "ATL Housewife" is rocking the cover of DENIM magazine in a yellow embroidered peplum pencil skirt. Porsha posted to her website a behind the scenes look from the shoot with J. Bolin & Will Sterling in her Reco Chapple dress.
In other photoshoot news, Dawn Richard released a few new promo shots for her upcoming GoldenHeart album.
The glossy black & white photos show her warrior goddess side as she's "armored up" for her highly anticipated solo album, Goldenheart, in stores January 15th. And we love her freshness she brings to the R&B game. The shoot, photographed by celebrity photographer Dimitry Loiseau, has a modern day Joan of Arc theme. She does an Avante guard battle in mixing an androgynous style. She rocked couture looks from Malgorzata Dudek, Laureluxe Metal shoulders, an Una Burke leather bodysuit and Jeffrey Campbell heels courtesy of her stylist Ja'Niya Walker, and some items from her own personal wardrobe. "The pictures go hand in hand with the lyrics and music," says Dawn. "I want to get the hearts even more excited to hear the album." Nice!

| And So It Begins..."Love & Hip Hop 3" Cast Kicks Off The Drama With NYC Premiere Party Posted: 04 Jan 2013 01:47 PM PST Last night at Kiss & Fly in NYC, the cast of "Love & Hip Hop 3" hosted their premiere party. And TheYBF.com was on the scene to soak up the foolery to come.
Check out what we've peeped about the upcoming season so far, and pics from the event, inside... Joe Budden & his new girlfriend Kailyn (with co-star Winter Ramos to the right) were front and center at last night's premiere party. As for why Joe is on the show....his ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose and his best friend Raqi (who Tahiry believes he was cheating on her with) are on, and with him, we have a love triangle. Surprise surprise. On the first Episode Joe has a “pool party” (but no one was there) and they decide to play a game Truth or Truth (instead of Truth or Dare). Of course, Raqi and Tahiry get into a sight physical altercation after she asked Joe if he and Rocky had ever been intimate. This led to Joe escorting Rocky off his property and folks really believing something was going on between them.... But we doubt anything is going on now as we spoke to both Joe & Raqi after the screening, and both claim the other "changed for the cameras." So they are no longer friends. "Model" Erica Mena is returning from last season. But she doesn't have any fights with former co-star Kimbella to worry about. Because Kimbella's not returning and Erica's got her new fiance Rich Dollaz to protect her. Sigh. This iCandy Couture dress pretty much showed everything's she's got. So that's what we're doing this season. Rich posed it up with Hot 97's Ebro.
Rashidah Ali (red hair) posed with co-star Tahiry Jose. Tahiry's "dress", by The Fabric Twins, put her bra on full cut-out display. And Rashidah is storring up her own bit of drama. During the premiere, she says she has known Yandy's baby's daddy Mandeecees for a long time, and he not the Boss he claims to be. Womp. Raqi (far left) kicked it with co-stars Yandy and Lore'l.
Yandy's curvy bod is back in effect post-baby. And she looked great. On the premiere, we will see more of her personal life this time around. It seems like her baby's daddy Mandeecees is having a hard time growing up after becoming a father. He even left her baby shower early and went to the club to pop bottles that night. Of course, Yandy was not happy about this. Couple Jen the Pen & Consequence talked about their situation and their child together.
And the woman behind it all, Mona Scott Young, posed it up with her husband Shawn. "Love & Hip Hop 3" kicks off January 7th, 8p on VH1. Photos by Stephen Knight  |
| TV FAB: Nene Leakes CONFIRMS Engagement To Gregg On "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" Posted: 04 Jan 2013 12:26 PM PST
Nene Leakes stopped by "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" where she confirmed her engagement to ex-husband Gregg Leakes. Watch the clip inside..... Nene Leakes sat down with Jimmy Fallon last night where she confirmed what many of us had suspected all along...she's back with Gregg Leakes and they plan to walk back down the aisle again. She rocked a tweed Dolce & Gabbana dress & her black Louboutin Pigalle pumps for the occasion. Nene also talked about appearing on the cover of EBONY's Money & Power issue saying that she always dreamed of being on the cover and it was a great honor. And when Jimmy mention that both Donald Trump and Andy Cohen have claimed that they started her career, she said, "Nene Leakes started Nene Leakes." Snaps. Watch the interview here: Loving her these days....  |
| Posted: 04 Jan 2013 11:42 AM PST Rappers Azealia Banks and Angel Haze (who we hear were allegedly friends at one point) have taken their war of words on Twitter into the recording studio to post dueling diss records. Listen to the femcees go head to head inside.... New York native Azealia Banks and Brooklyn transplant (via Detroit) Angel Haze had a nasty war of words on Twitter yesterday where disses about everything from skin tone to hair texture played out in front of their hardcore fans. Now the ladies have taken their war to the studio with Angel releasing "On The Edge" and Azealia hitting back with "No Problems." We have both tracks for you to decide who's really running New York (or whatever city each lady is claiming for now).
Listen to "No Problems" here:
Listen to "On the Edge" here:
Although Azealia says hers isn't a diss record per se, she revealed, "l I def used that energy to write a fly new jam tho. It’s not even really a diss anymore! Haha !!!” We have to ask..... Was there a winner? *UPDATE* Since Azealia claims Angel's diss track didn't count because it seems she actually did the song BEFORE their scuffle, Angel Haze just dropped a second diss track early Friday evening. It's called "Shut The F*ck Up." Of course. Angel tweeted, “you get an unmastered diss…you aint worth my studio time. Done. Last diss track you’ll ever hear from me. Later. Back to living my great ass life.”

| THE REMIX: Trinidad James Ft. French Montana "All Gold Everything RMX" Posted: 04 Jan 2013 11:03 AM PST ATL rapper Trinidad James, aka the re-incarnated Jerome from "Martin", is keeping this coontasticness of a song going. Check out his remix for "All Gold Everything" featuring French Montana inside.... As "All Gold Everything" continues to spread like wildfire as one of the catchiest, unfortunate songs from 2012, folks still seem to love it. So thank us later for giving you the first official remix with French Montana. French joins in the theme of the song rapping about all his alleged riches, wealth and all the gold around his neck. The two rappers hung out in D.C. over Thanksgiving weekend. And now they've joined up on a track together. Word has it Trinidad's track will have 17 total new verses for an extra extended remix. And now that the 25-year old has signed to Def Jam with a multi-million dollar deal, despite only rapping for 9 months, we're sure the label is about to push this ish for all it's worth. So get ready for more. Woooooo....  |
| DJ Envy & His Pregnant Wife On The Rocks....Or Is It A Reality Show Ploy? Posted: 04 Jan 2013 10:23 AM PST Charlamagne da God went in on his own co-host this morning on The Breakfast Club. And after giving DJ Envy the Donkey of the Day, Envy revealed some marital issues that are raising a few eyebrows. Deets inside...
Charlamane loves to give out Donkeys of the day to those celebs who deserve it, but when he put hi own co-host in that pot of donkey water today, things got a bit real. Apparently, Envy's fallen off a bit, according to his co-hosts, on his job. He's not focusing properly, mispronouncing words, and supposedly making mixes that aren't that great. Again, this was all said by his own co-hosts so it could just be exaggerated jest. But Charlamagne an Angela said that Envy had red and watery eyes while being read his act this morn. So there must be more to his story on why he's not at his best as of late. Envy then revealed: "I been with my wife [Gia Casey--pictured above] for 18 years. And sometimes you don't treat the person you been with, well. You treat them like they're always there. And it's been a point where I treated my wife like ish. It's the small things you don't do anymore." After coming back from a break, Envy explained further that he has not been spending proper quality time with his wife lately. And now that she's pregnant, it's even more important. Envy said he's been buying her gifts in place of putting in that time, and he's sorry for that. So Envy proceeded to call his wife, on the air, to apologize. And tell her she's the Queen of his world. Some folks are skeptical though, asking whether this was all just made up friction. Mainly because both Envy and his wife are rumored to be possible new cast members of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" or another reality show. There were also cheating rumors in the past about the couple, seeing that Envy spends most nights of the week DJ'ing in strip clubs and parties all around the tri-state area. But this was not mentioned specifically on today's show. So was all of this just a front for reality tv? Time will tell....  |
| HOT SHOTS: Kerry Washington, Samuel Jackson & Jamie Foxx's "Django Unchained" Photocall In ROME Posted: 04 Jan 2013 09:38 AM PST The cast of Django Unchained jetted to Rome for a photocall yesterday. See Samuel, Jamie, Kerry and the rest of the cast looking fab and posing for pics inside.... "Scandal" star Kerry Washington turned heads in one of the world's most fashionable cities, Rome, in a bright mixed print Peter Pilotto dress for the Django Unchained photo call yesterday. And she pulls it off perfectly. The eye-popping design of the black, teal and white cut-out dress featured a ruffled lime green peplum detail which Kerry paired with blue & black cheetah Nicholas Kirkwood pumps. She accessorized with a Solange Azagury-Partridge ring and Monique Pean earrings. It's ALL about the details.... During their interviews, Kerry thanked her castmates for their support in making the film, telling the Daily Beast,
Kerry's castmates Samuel Jackson and Jamie Foxx were also in tow to promote the film's international release as everyone back home in the U.S. reveled at the film's breakout success.
Other cast members Christoph Waltz, Franco Nero (atop) and director Quentin Tarantino (who also shows up a few times in the film) later joined Jamie, Kerry and Samuel (who had a little fur detail going on) for dinner where they toasted to their success. In fact, many suspect that the film will go one to become Quentin's MOST successful box office flick to date.
