| Is Kanye West BEGGING Anna Wintour To Put His Baby's Mama On The Cover Of VOGUE? Posted: 15 Mar 2013 07:56 AM PDT Kanye West has been advocating for his baby momma, Kim Kardashian, to have her own American VOGUE cover, but so far, industry insiders don't think Anna Wintour is warm to the suggestion. More inside.... We've all seen Kanye West being friendly with American VOGUE editor Anna Wintour over the years, and now industry folks are saying that he is trying very hard to secure Kim a VOGUE cover. So what's the problem? Though Kim has already proven herself as a bankable face for magazine covers, everyone is NOT a fan. In fact, Star Magazine reports that Anna's disgust with Kim's rise to fame had her stating that Kim would only grace Vogue's cover, "over her dead body." Ms. Wintour is well known for valuing quality over numbers. The mag went on to say that while Anna sings Kanye's praises, she thinks of Kim as 'the worst thing since socks and sandals'. Though the "alleged" feud between Anna and Kim does not seem to be personal, there have been a number of swipes and jabs on behalf of Ms. Wintour. The most high-profile jab was the alleged banning of Kim from The Met Ball. The gala, which many celebrity/fashion insiders consider to be the hottest ticket of the year, has NEVER invited Kim. And Anna Wintour controls who makes the list. One source told Radar Online, “Anna hates Kim. Why would she be invited to the event? It is all the biggest stars in the world and Kim doesn’t fit that bill at all.” In fact, last year, Kanye West went to the gala solo....Kim stayed in LA. *Cue up the Countess' 'Money Can't Buy You Class'* It was also reported that Anna ignored Kim at New York Fashion Week last September. But there is hope for Kim at last...as far at The Met Ball is concerned. Kanye is slated to perform at this year's punk-themed gala on May 6, and we're sure Kim won't be "banned" now that she's the mother of the performer's child. Just as we predicted, this baby will be her ticket to more things than necessary.

| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 12:25 PM PDT This week, reality tv star Tahiry Jose laid hands on rapper Consequence after he allegedly assaulted her "ex-boyfriend" Joe Budden. Get Tahiry's side of the story inside and see what former WNBA baller Chamique Holdsclaw had to say about allegedly assaulting her ex-girlfriend.
We told you yesterday that there were a number of dust-ups at the "L&HH ATL" reunion taping. And now we have another first-person account from one of the fights. We saw Consequence being jumped by Joe Budden and his crew, but Tahiry Jose got a few licks in too beforehand. The "Devil" singer called into two of New York's most popular morning shows, "The Breakfast Club" on Power 105.1 and "The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg" show on Hot 97 to explain her actions. The story Tahiry told was simple--she retaliated against Consequence after he sucked-punched Joe. She told TBC, "We had a little two minute break, and as Joey and I were walking out somebody flies over my head and sucker punches him in the back of his ear. Joe was walking out, so it was all unexpected. I jumped up. He jumped up. Security rushes him [Joe] on to the other side of that room, and completely forgot about Tahiry." Since security forgot to hold her down, Tahiry used the window of opportunity to hit Consequence in the face! She said, "You just ain't gonna run around my crew, whoever's around me, and think you're going to roll up on anybody like that." And while sources report that Tahiry and Jose were holding hands at reunion taping last night...and TheYBF.com was at the taping and heard Joe HIMSELF say he and Tahiry were "working on seeing each other again", she remained coy when asked if she was back with Joe. And when asked if Kaylin (Joe's latest girlfriend) was still in the picture, Tahiry claimed that she didn't know what was going on at Joe's house. Joe said at the reunion, though, that Kailyn has already moved out of his house. But Kailyn still seems to be in the picture based on their Instagram pics. Is Joe playing the Stevie J role now? Listen to Tahiry tell "TBC" about the fight: Listen to Tahiry break down the fight on Hot 97:
And in other fight news......
A few months ago we told you about Chamique Holdsclaw, a former WNBA star, who was jailed for allegedly firing a bullet into the window of her former girlfriend's car and smashing the car's windows. Now free on bond, Chamique showed up in an Atlanta courtroom this morning and pleaded "not guilty" to all the charges facing her. The reportedly scorned chick pleaded the following: not guilty to aggravated assault, not guilty to criminal damage in the first degree, not guilty criminal damage in the second degree, and not guilty of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Chamique will have her day in court soon, but the odds seem stacked against her now that her battle with clinical depression and attempted suicide in 2006 have been made public. We will keep you posted....

| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 10:42 AM PDT Red hot producer Bangladesh celebrated his birthday in Atlanta recently with Evan Ross, Marlo Hampton and Lil' Scrappy among the guests. See the pics inside.....
Bangladesh, the hit beat-maker behinds songs for Lil' Wayne, Kelis, Beyonce and Rihanna celebrated his birthday in style with a swanky party at STK in Atlanta last night. And we all love an eclectic party in ATL.... Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, who worked with Bangladesh on her reality show "Totally T-Boz" posed for a few flicks. Actor Evan Ross, who just landed the role of Dallas Austin in the TLC biopic, was there. Former "RHOA" star Marlo Hampton was at the party rocking something a black jumpsuit fresh off the runway. Hot as usual. "Love & Hip Hop ATL" mixologist Ariane Davis rocked a fur for the evening. But this country look honey.... Lil' Scrappy posed with his "fiancee" and fellow "L&HH ATL" co-star Erica Dixon. And it looks like Erica pulled a page from the "RHOA" playbook and did a twirl...and showed off her stallion booty. Lil' Scrappy posed for flicks with some of the evening's "entertainment". "R&B" Divas star Monifah celebrated with the producer.... and some loud sneaker wedges.
"R&B" diva Syleena Johnson looked sexy and stylish. Best we've seen her look. "Tyler Perry's House of Payne" star Demetria McKinney wore a sexy dress.
Singer D-Woods was all smiles at the party. And it's not neon marker on her (even though it's something we thought she WOULD do), it's the neon lights showing up on her face and leg.
And the artsy party featured a marching band, ballerinas and other dancers. Fun times....

| The Braxtons Celebrate Season 3 Premiere Party With Lil Kim, Jennifer Williams & More Posted: 14 Mar 2013 10:10 AM PDT The Braxtons are everywhere this week as they promote the new season of "Braxton Family Values" kicking off tonight. We've got lots of pics from their big premiere party last night in NYC that TheYBF.com hit up, Trina & Gabe having a mini makeout session (so things must be going much better there) and more pics of Tamar's baby bump.
Plus, what the ladies told us about their lives... Our fave sisters are back for a new season on WeTV. The ladies--including Mama Evelyn--all headed to STK in Manhattan for the season 3 premiere party last night. Tamar was front and center with her hubby Vince and the new baby bump!
And she's still rocking her Guiseppe stilettos.
Toni Braxton put on a red hot jumpsuit for the occasion. Traci and Trina had some fun on the carpet. Traci's dress is super cute but we wish she would have left off that belt. We asked the fun loving Taci about her recent weight loss, and she told us, "I cut out all carbs! I feel good!" She also confirmed she's no longer working on getting her own hair shop, but she is having a good time riding motorcycles and other fun adventures. Toni showed where she gets her good genes from--Mama Ev. Lil Kim showed up tot he premiere still pissy about the alleged "photoshopping" she says every single "blog site" is doing. Guess she still hasn't contacted the paparazzi agency (SPLASH) who shot the pics. She would find those very pics are in their raw image database.... Angela Simmons kept it simple in black and army green and nude pumps. Nice look.
Jen Williams and her perfect bun hit the red carpet as well to support her girls. And if you're wondering how Trina and Gabe's marriage is going, we asked them. And Trina responded by throwing her arms and lips around her hubby and said, "This is how we are doing!"
Looks like that haircut and makeover of his is working some wonders. And the media caught up with Tamar outside about how this pregnancy is going so far. As for who's given her the most advice so far on being a mom..."Toni Braxton, chile!"
