| REALITY FAB: SWV Heads To WeTV With A Reality TV Series! Posted: 13 Mar 2013 10:03 AM PDT SWV will be opening up their personal lives to the cameras in a new WeTV reality series. Find out more inside....
Sisters With Voices (SWV) are the latest set of R&B divas who will be opening up their lives to reality tv audiences. Member Taj George already did a reality show with her husband, Eddie George, a few years ago with their "I Married A Baller" show. And the group's new series has just been announced among the new lineup of shows at WeTV (who also air "Braxton Family Values" "Mary, Mary" and "Tamar and Vince"). The unscripted docu-drama is produced by eOne Entertainment and will follow the group's new musical resurgence (they released their first album in 15 years, “I Missed Us”, in 2011). And they'll also explore the off-stage dynamic between the ladies, including why the group broke up in the late 90′s. For now, the show doesn't have an official title or release date, but the ladies shot the pilot for the series last fall. Will you be watching?  |
| CANDIDS: Tia & Tamera Mowry Out & About For A Twin SPA Day, Miguel STROLLS Through The Grove Posted: 13 Mar 2013 09:41 AM PDT Fab twins Tia & Tamera Mowry were spotted out about about in the LA area yesterday. Find out how they spent their day inside and see Miguel at The Grove in Hollywood. Tia and Tamera Mowry were did some shopping on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica yesterday. And the busy twins finished their day at Tikkun Spa. Tamera's a new mom and Tia's still a relatively new mom as well. So we're sure these spa days were well deserved.
And with so much going on in their lives from their reality tv show, to their mommy blog, these hard-working gals still look fresh faced and fab with zero effort it seems.
And over at The Grove... "Do You" singer Miguel was spotted walking through The Grove in Hollywood and posing for a few pics. Since he stole the show at the Grammys, the R&B crooner has added "SNL" to his growing list of high-profile performances. He'll debut on April 13th. While at The Grove, he appeared on "Extra!" with Mario Lopez. All to promote the tour he's on with Alicia Keys. Nice.

| The Braxtons DROP IN On "The Breakfast Club," Reveal Deets About "Braxton Family Values" Posted: 13 Mar 2013 09:01 AM PDT The Braxton sisters stopped by Power 105.1 FM this morning to promote the third season of "Braxton Family Values." Listen to their interview inside... Towanda, Tamar, Trina and Traci Braxton (Toni was missing as usual) chatted it up with The Breakfast Club this morning where they promoted the third season of their hit series "Braxton Family Values." The sisters each gave updates about their lives and what we can expect to see. Towanda revealed that she is seeing someone. She was very coy about who that "someone" might be and would not deny that it was her estranged (and trifling) husband. Tamar talked about her career finally taking off and how press committments sometimes got in the way of doing things with the family. She joked that she can't miss any work engagements because she lives with "Ike Turner" (husband/manager Vincent Herbert). And by that, she meant that he "managed" her....not beat her. Tamar also said her album has been pushed back because she and Vincent are both with Epic Records. She also joked that she is better with filtering herself and won't be talking out the side of her neck about her sister's husbands anymore. Trina revealed that she and Gabe are working through their issues (sigh) and that "forgivenenss" is a gradual process. Traci talked about her weight loss and revealed she is putting her "hair salon" dreams on hold to pursue other adventures. The sisters did say that Toni is taking a break from the music business but they don't think that she has retired for good. And though Tamar did not confirm her pregnancy at TBC (when asked), hours later, she went on GMA and confirmed her pregnancy. Tune into the season premiere March 14th at 9PM ET/PT on WE tv. Listen to the interview below:  |
| Alicia Keys Flaunts Her Curves AT SOLD OUT L.A. Tour Stop Posted: 13 Mar 2013 08:24 AM PDT Alicia Keys is flaunting that toned curvy bod of hers on stage during her Set The World On Fire tour at the Staples Center. Check the pics and video inside... Mom, businesswoman and singer Alicia Keys is back on the road with Miguel for her new tour. And she's dishing on how she got her body right after giving birth to her 2-year-old son Egypt: "Some people are just like, 'I just eat steak and potatoes and bread and I’m fine', and I’m not that person," she told Daily Mail. "I have to really bust my ass. [It was] a lot of very difficult, hard, painful work." And it seems she's recovered from her 2013 NBA All-Star mishap of a performance. Because she still sold out the Staples Center last night. Check out pics and video below:

| Posted: 13 Mar 2013 07:54 AM PDT Ne-Yo may be busy on his 6-date UK tour at the moment, but his legal woes are also getting shine back in the states. Check out why his ex-girlfriend Jesseca is officially suing him, plus how Deion just won official primary custody of his kids.... Remember when Ne-Yo's ex-girlfriend...who once lied to him about being the father of her child...threatened to sue him for defamation this past December? Well, she's gone and officially done it. Jesseca White filed a lawsuit claiming that Ne-Yo's statement on his VH1 "Behind The Music" was defamatory to her. She says he called her "an unchaste woman who deliberately tricked him into believing he was the father of her child ... so that she could fraudulently bilk him of 'ungodly amounts of money.'" Well, she did put his name down as the daddy on the birth certificate of her daughter back in 2005, when she and Ne-Yo were dating. And the paternity test did prove he was NOT the father. Jesseca claims she's lost out on business as a graphic designer and photographer because of his statements. And she's been called all kinds of b*tches and sluts after his episode aired. TMZ reports she's suing for unspecified damages.
In other legal news, Deion Sanders has won primary custody of all three of his and Pilar's kids. Back in December, his estranged wife Pilar lost temporary custody of their two sons (ages 11 and 13). Now, the court has awarded Deion official primary custody of the kids. As for their 9-year-old daughter, he and Pilar will share custody. And Deion has been given the right to make all decisions in regards to where their children live, their health, their education and their well being. Pilar says that the judge would not allow testimony in regards to that April 2012 domestic dispute that ended with Pilar having visible bruises, and Deion claiming that she hurt HIM. Deion told the Dallas Morning News while leaving the McKinney courthouse yesterday, “I’m thankful; I’m elated. In any war, there will be casualties, but I didn’t want the casualties in this case to be my kids.” Pilar told media, “If that’s not one-sided, you have to be blind, dumb, crazy and stupid. Unfortunately, my children will suffer, but I raised them well enough to understand what’s what.” The custody issue has been settled, but Pilar says she will appeal. They are also still in court about division of the martial assets. Oh, where have we seen this situation before.... Photos via Pacific Coast News  |
| Iggy Azalea's "WORK" Video + Christina Milian SHOOTS Birdman's "TapOut" VIDEO Posted: 13 Mar 2013 07:00 AM PDT Iggy Azalea has released a video for her "Work" single. See the video inside and see pics of Christina Milian on the set for Birdman's "Tapout" video.
In anticipation of her upcoming disc, The New Classic, Iggy Azalea has released a video for "Work." The clip was directed by Jonas & François while the track, which is the lead single from the album, was produced by Division. The video tells the story of Iggy's rise from the rural outback in Australia to the bright lights of Hollywood. Along the way, she has to do a few questionable things (e.g. give lapdances) to make ends meet. She also rocks her fave designer clothes...she was picked up by Wilhelmina Models afterall. Iggy is now in London doing promo for the single and tweeted fans that "Work" goes on sale with iTunes on March 19. She's also on a European tour with Nas and 2 Chainz. Watch "Work" here:
Also in music videos..... Young Money chick Christina Milian was seen on the set of Birdman's upcoming video for "Tapout" featuring Lil' Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Mack Maine and Future. She tweeted a photo during a break saying, "Taking a break between scenes. Quick beauty rest..." And Christina's body is sure to catch some attention as she shared a photo of her sexy curve hugging costume. She said, "#tapout video. @birdman5star more to come..." Work Chris....

| Tamar Braxton CONFIRMS....SHE'S PREGNANT! Posted: 13 Mar 2013 06:31 AM PDT We called it FIRST over a month ago that Tamar Braxton was pregnant. And despite her vague attempt at denying the rumor, she's now admitting the truth. The reality star & singer is EXPECTING!
Deets inside... Tamar finally admitted on "Good Morning America" today that she and husband of 5 years, Vince Herbert, are indeed pregnant! The 35-year-old (who turns 36 this Sunday) told the audience this morning, "I have a love on top. I'm pregnant." And she also posted the above cute pics of herself and Vince in their dressing room posing with Tamar's baby bump. Last month, during her appearance on BET's "106 & park," we officially put Tamar on Preggers Watch here at TheYBF.com and posted picture proof of a baby bump. Tamar later posted a pic of a "flatter tummy" asking "Oh Really", as a vague attempt to deny the rumors. But the pic was deleted soon after. Now, she's embracing new mommyhood and telling the world. And she's looking fabulous. The mom to be has a lot to celebrate. The new season of "Braxton Family Values" starts tomorrow on WeTV. She and Vince are already filming their new season of "Tamar & Vince." And the "Love & War" singer just signed to EPIC Records. Congrats Tamar! Photos via Instagram  |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2013 05:35 AM PDT Your fave reunion of the ratchets went down last night in NYC. We were on the scene at the taping of the "Love & Hip Hop" reunion. And if you want the spoilers of the foolery that went down, continue on.... Last night, the cast of "Love & Hip Hop 3" re-convened at NEP Penn Studios in Manhattan to duke it out, rehash some old beef, and to let people know what's been up since the last taping of the show. Here's the gist of what we learned: Joe Budden, who posted a pic of himself getting ready for the reunion (above), had a big fight with co-star Consequence. When the show cut to commercial, Cons was still steaming, apparently, over some things Joe said both at the reunion and at a recent interview. So he got up, walked up behind Joe who was walking out, and punched him in the head. Tahiry got in on the foolery and smushed Cons in the head. Cons tweeted afterwards that he "just smacked the ish out of Joe". Joe said he pulled a b*tch move and ran away after throwing that punch. Tons of security flew in and covered the area, and mass confusion occured. The second audience, who was making their way in during this break, were also shown the playback of the fight that went down. And Joe called into Angie Martinez's Hot 97 to speak on it all.
And if you're wondering how Tahiry got involved (as Joe said he pulled her to go outside to smoke a cigarette when this went down), it's because Tahiry & Joe are seeing each other again. And it's bye bye Kailyn (who also was at the reunion). P.S. Joe Budden's mom was on the scene and she tried to get involved as well. The nasty circus with Erica Mena (pictured above at the reunion) and Rich Dollaz also continued. Rich & Erica were at each other's throats...so they are definitely "off" right now. Erica got called a few names by Rich. And it was revealed Erica is dipping into some bi-sexual behavior...allegedly...with one of Rich's exes. As for who else has new relationship statuses--two of the ladies announced their engagements. We'll just say--one is the least likely to make this announcement, and the other is the most likely, but we don't logistically see how this will work. Especially if her man's legal woes don't get cleared up. By the way, Consequence tried to justify his "light skin is the right skin" line from a recent episode saying he wanted to "inspire thought provoking comments on it." Boy stop. The season 3 "LAHH NY" reunion airs soon on VH1. Photos via Instagram

After cancelling the second night of her Diamonds World Tour on Sunday night in Boston, Rihanna's cancelled her third night as well. She lost her voice due to Laryngitis and apologized on Twitter to her Boston fans Sunday. And she hasn't popped up on her social media since.

Meanwhile, Lil Kim is going off on Wendy Williams after Wendy spoke her piece on her show this week abut Kim's lashing out at media. Wendy said Kim wasn't photoshopped like Kim claimed in these pics, and it was an off angle. Kim went off, and took a dig at her about Biggie: Well.....  |
