PREGNANT MOMS TAKE THE WEEKEND! DJ Envy's Wife's Baby Shower + Halle & Nahla Hit A Birthday Party + Alexis Stoudemire Shows Her Baby Belly Posted: 12 May 2013 08:30 AM PDT Pregnant moms in the YBF world spent their Mother's Day Weekend with fam and friends.  We've got pics of mommy Halle Berry at a picnic birthday party with Nahla, DJ Envy's wife Gia's baby shower and Alexis Stoudemire showing off her baby belly... Nahla loves a good day at the park!  So yesterday she and her celeb mom Halle Berry hit up a friend's birthday party outdoors in the springtime Cali weather:   Nahla kept it cute in a striped multi-colored top and pink leggings and matching sneakers.   And Halle rocked a cute and comfy sundress that perfectly covered her burgeoning baby bump for the occasion.  Cute! Over in New Jersey, The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy is back in wife's good graces.  After his cheating scandal with "LAHH" chick Erica Mena and all.  So he dished out the cash for wife Gia Casey's baby shower as they prepare to welcome baby #3: He said, "2dys baby shower was worth every penny."  We're sure it was. His co-host Angela Yee came out to support (Charlamagne skipped it) and kicked it with Wyclef & Jersey's own Naughty By Nature. And in the midst of NY Knicks baller Amar'e Stoudemire balling in the NBA playoffs, he posted a pic of his, his kids' and his wife's hands all touching Alexis' baby belly.  How precious! Check out our gallery below of YBF's expectant and NEW moms who make mommyhood look easy and FABULOUS.   Photos: SPLASH/Amar'e Instagram/DJ Envy's Instagram It's ALL NEW...Happy Mother's Day To YBF Moms Worldwide!

YBF'S MOTHER'S DAY EXCLUSIVE: Actress Reagan Gomez Dishes On How SHE Wins The 'Working Mom' Struggle Posted: 12 May 2013 06:40 AM PDT We met her in her first starring role as the cute teen everyone had a crush on during "The Parent 'Hood" TV show back in 1995.  Now, Reagan Gomez is 33, a wife of 14 years, a mom to two ridiculously cute kids, and one of the feistiest (politically) chicks we know on Twitter.  And while she expands her acting career into the world of creating her own web series around black actors, she's had to fight to win the struggle of every working mom: Being the best available mom to your kids while simultaneously giving your best to your career.   In a special Mother's Day post for TheYBF.com, Reagan dishes on how she wins that 'working mom' battle in the acting world... Reagan Gomez (pictured above in the studio where she creates her webseries "Almost Home") pens her own advice, exclusively for TheYBF.com, about how she and other mothers can beat the working mom struggle: Being a mom has totally changed my perspective on many things...including the business.  Having my children has really inspired me and given me the courage to get behind the camera. I had my daughter, Scarlett, after my last tv show (Love, Inc.) ended (in 2006), and I immediately got "The Cleveland Show" which gave me SO much time at home with she and my son, Tyger, who's now 2.  I never want to give that up.  Ever.  My family comes first. I feel like so many women in the business have to put LIFE on hold, because we're always waiting for that part that might change our lives.  I'm glad I decided to live my life.  Career and work will always be there.  My real blessing in life is my amazing husband and beautiful family. -Reagan Gomez   Smart words from one of the most fab actress moms we know.  Reagan, who's joining the cast of TV One's "Love That Girl" next season, also relived the days of her second pregnancy as she showed her fans a never-before-seen pic with her two babies: She said, "Nothing better than posting a, "ready to pop" preggers pic for Mother's Day, as you slide into your skinny jeans. I was 8 months in this avi.  And lemme tell you.....I'm getting heartburn all over again just looking at this Avi! Lolol! Ladies, we go through a lot. Love being a mom!   And you can check out the latest installment of her webseries, "Almost Home", with this episode featuring Jackie Long:   Check out lots more cute pics of Scarlett & Tyger:   Adorbs! Happy Mother's Day all!   Photos: Reagan Gomez

TOLD YA! Monica Brown Is PREGNANT, Shows Off Baby Bump! Posted: 11 May 2013 06:46 PM PDT Back in March, we reported that we were tipped off that Monica was expecting.  And we put her on official Preggers Watch.  Tonight, she finally made the big reveal of her baby bump.   Check it inside... Monica and her husband of two years, Phoenix Suns baller Shannon Brown, are indeed expecting! Her baby bump required no confirmation with words, she confirmed her pregnancy with a simple pic.  The "Everything To Me" singer posted the above image this evening right before hitting the stage in Chattanooga, TN.  And her baby bump is clearly visible through her blue Roberto Cavalli maxi dress.   A couple of months ago, we broke the news of her pregnancy, along with images of her shielding a tiny bump.   We reported then that our source tipped us off a month prior--back in February--that she was indeed pregnant.  And based on when our tipster learned of the pregnancy, we're guessing she's about 5-6 months along.  But that's not yet confirmed. And the news of Mo becoming a mom of three is just in time for Mother's Day.  Congrats Monica & Shannon!   Photos: Monica's Instagram

Rihanna & Chris Brown In A Subliminal Twitter Love War? Posted: 11 May 2013 02:01 PM PDT After Chris Brown's vague statement on Twitter about implying ho activity that many believe was against Rihanna, Rih has been dropping subliminals all weekend.   Check out her pics and statements inside... The other day, soon after he confirmed he and Rihanna have gone their separate way, Breezy tweeted: She's not mine if she's everybody else's It no longer appears on his timeline, but everybody saw it.  And everybody believes he's going at Rih Rih. So last night she posted this message:    Ha!  That damn Rih Rih.  Then she posted the below and above pics with her girls, tweeted Drake lyrics, and said she needed no new friends.  We ALL know Breezy doesn't Ef with Drizzy right now. Classy.  She also posted a few bac to back tweets where it seems she's coming at Chris about why she's not sticking with him: "The reason y'all hoe niggaz can't phase me #nonewfriends.... Bad girls want a real niggaaa.... Cuz real niggaz just wanna phuck... Got a thang for a King, but chu ain't a King!!! And then she posted this pic...   Table for one?   Photos: Instagram

So...Dame Dash Filed Court Papers Claiming He's Broke, Millions Of Dollars In Debt & Facing Eviction From His MANSION?! Posted: 11 May 2013 11:34 AM PDT Looks like Dame Dash is way worse off than he has led folks to believe.  Thanks to his new court filing this past Thursday at Manhattan Supreme Court, we've learned he's getting crushed by millions of dollars of debt and may lose the only house he has to live in. In order to stop his checks from getting garnished, Damon Dash--who formerly boasted having a $50 million empire (thanks to Roc-a-fella and Rocawear) about a decade ago--showed up in court in Manhattan on Thursday.  He was fighting a charge of ignoring a 2008 lawsuit from a garment industry lender who wanted payback on their $237,078 loan. And the papers he filed tell all his business.  The NY Daily News reports: In a sworn statement asking a judge not to garnish his wages, Dash disclosed: - He pays $24,000 every three months to his ex-wife, fashion designer Rachel Roy, for child support of their two kids, and to cover money owed on the lofts. - New York state forces Dash to send another $4,341.10 per month for support of his son, Christian. - He paid nearly $20,000 in garnished wages in late 2012 for other debts. - And he faces a pending $40,000 tax payment for business earnings.   And after losing two of his lofts in Tribeca to foreclosure back in 2010, with $7.3 million still left on the mortgages, he's now about to lose his mansion in Carmel, NY.  Dame wrote in the 5-page filing, “I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills.  For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted.” And in an email from his attorney, Gregg A. Pinto, he said, "I'm an independent businessman and this is what comes from business.  I have the guts to fight my battles on my own and it's entertainment to everybody else because I'm so cool about it." And by "being cool about it," we guess he meant this interview he did last month.

CHECK OUT THE BUMP ON KANYE'S HEAD! Kanye's Two New Tracks Get PREVIEWED, Goes At Kris Humphries AGAIN Posted: 11 May 2013 09:54 AM PDT Aww Kanye.  It's been a rough start to the weekend with him walking head first into a steel pole, then getting caught going BEZERK on cameramen...twice...and now a couple of his songs got previewed in Poland.  And folks are wondering why he's still going at Kris Humphries.... Kanye West was spotted leaving his baby mom Kim Kardashian's house early this morning in L.A.  And the bump from yesterday's run-in..well, walk-in.... with a steel pole has popped up on his forehead. As Kanye prepares to drop a new album, DJ Hudson Mohawke, who's also in the G.O.O.D. Music fam, previewed some of his new tracks at the Freeform Festival in Poland. Part 1 This first one may be a track he worked on with Daft Punk and sounds like the same song he performed at the MET Gala. And he unleashed another diss to Kris Humphries in a line saying: “Black d*ck in your spouse again”. Part 2 Check out the second one as well. By the way, a new video has been released of Kanye popping off on photogs after he slammed his head into a pole while walking to 9021Pho restaurant yesterday. Check it below from TMZ.  He's REAL mad:   This guy....
