| Posted: 14 May 2013 09:03 AM PDT We're not saying the Beyonce is eating for two...but she sure loves her chicken! See the receipt from Beyonce's recent outing in the UK and get the deets on how she shares her love of chicken with her crew.... Beyonce stans know that she LOVES Popeyes chicken, so it's no suprise that she and her crew indulged in their love of wings and ish while on tour. Yesterday, after her tour stop through Dublin, Bey spent 875 pounds (about $1300) on a chicken feast from Nando's for her and her crew and dancers. Nice! Of course we know all of this food wasn't consumed by Bey alone, but you'll recall that she wants to give Blue Ivy a sibling. Folks will likely use this as "proof" that she's with child again, but we're not believing any of those rumors....yet.
BONUS: Speaking of Bey, here's a snippet of a song she's on of The Dream's, and also with 2 Chainz. It's called "Turnt" and will sub for the other track she was supposed to appear on for Dream's IV Play album that he couldn't clear the sample for. THe 90 second preview of "Turnt" is below:
*UPDATE* Beyonce has canceled her Mrs. Carter Show tour stop in Belgium tonight (5/14). Her rep told the Associated Press it's all due to exhaustion and dehydration as she's also doing simultaneus promo for the upcoming flick EPIC and has shot umpteen photoshoots and magazine covers in the past few months. And has also worked on new music.
She's not set to wrap the tour (the USA leg of it) until August in Brooklyn. But her docs have ordered her to rest today and possibly tomorrow, which will mean another cancellation at the same venue. Well, this is going to feul those pregnancy rumors even more...

| EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK: Is Tasha Mack Choosing Rick Fox Over POOKIE On "The Game"?! Posted: 14 May 2013 08:15 AM PDT TheYBF.com has an exclusive sneak peek of tonight's episode of "The Game." And say it aint so! Is Tasha Mack choosing Rick Fox over Pookie? Check the clip inside... In our exlcuisve sneak peek of tonight's (5/14) episode of "The Game," Rick Fox, Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson), and Chardonnay (Brandy) are all in the car....sneaking since Tasha can't be see out in the open solo with Rick. Rick confesses his love for Tasha and it SEEMS Tasha agrees to let Pookie go. But is that what's really going to go down? We shall see. Check out the preview below, and tune in tonight at 10p/9c on BET. The show's mid-season finale wraps on May 21st.  |
| Posted: 14 May 2013 07:40 AM PDT Usher's former nanny has filed suit claiming she wasn't compensated for the overtime she put in. See how his camp responded inside...
Rich folks just don't know how to treat "The Help"....so the nannies say. First we find out that Kim Porter "allegedly" had her nanny sweeping the floors and living out of a suitcase (with a door that didn't lock) and now, according to TMZ, Usher's ex-nanny, Cecilia Duncan, is claiming that Usher's is JUST AS BAD when it comes to treating his "help" nicely. You'd think that celebrities would be kind to the people whom they've tasked with helping raise their kids....but maybe not. Just ask Cecilia Duncan. Cecilia says she started working for Usher in December 2010 (caring for his two sons, ages 4 & 5). But pretty soon, she says the job started veering into the 40+ hours category, but there was no increase/overtime in her pay. Hmm....sounds just like Kim Porter's lawsuit. Cecilia says she made her frustration known (for over a year), then Usher up and fired her last September without ever giving her the overtime she asked for. Again...sounds like Kim Porter's situation. You'd think that the celebs would fear the disgruntled employee might take their anger out on the kids....but that doesn't seem to be a "Hollywood" concern. Naturally, Usher's camp says the lawsuit is frivolous (just like Diddy's camp did). We're sure we will hear that Cecilla had some "past arrest" record that they "just" discovered and that would explain why she was finally fired. Not sure why one would choose to continue to work somewhere in which the felt they were being treated unfairly. But it's very possible. Until they attempt to settle or dismiss the case, Cecilla wants six-figures for wrongful termination and failure to pay wages. Good luck with that......  |
| MUSIC FAB: Solange X Kendrick Lamar REMIX "Looks Good With Trouble" Posted: 14 May 2013 07:17 AM PDT Solange Knowles just teamed up with Kendrick Lamar for a remix (actually it's a "full" version to the prelude version on Solo's True EP) to her "Looks Good With Trouble" song. Check out their full version inside... As Solo puts her new version of "Looks Good With Trouble" on iTunes today, you can listen to it here first. Kendrick Lamar chimes in on the breathy bliss-filled track with his own bars. And Solange said about the track:
And now Kendrick comes in on the full song. Check it below:
And Solange also let us in on what she copped for Mother's Day from her son Daniel. She posted the below pic and tweeted:
Awww. Sweet!

| DO WE LOVE IT: Rihanna's BLEACH BLONDE Wiggery Posted: 14 May 2013 06:49 AM PDT Singer Rihanna debuted a dramatic new look last night as she stepped out on the town in New York City. Decide if we love her new "look" inside and get the deets on what might have inspired the dramatic transformation.... We've all seen Rihanna make dramatic visual transformations on stage and in her "real life" many times before, and yesterday in New York City, she remained consistent with her switch-ups. The "Pour It Up" singer was spotted hopping out her SUV for a night out on the town, rocking a bleach blonde bobbed wig. We suspect the new look is only temporary as RiRi completed two photoshoots earlier in the day. First, she did a session for her River Island Collection, tweeting "2 day shoot for my upcoming Autumn/Winter collections with River Island was flawless! My models looked so damn good! Foreign chicks errwhere". A short while later, RiRi re-emerged on her timeline to reveal that she'd wrapped another session, this time for MAC. She said, "And that's a wrap on another #MAC shoot!! 2 in 1 day!! Thats my damn team!!!" It's clear RiRi's new look was work related, but a good transformation is always sweeter when you're on the heels of a breakup. With reports (and pics) flying out of Hollywood that her "recent" ex-Chris Brown partied at Graystone Manor with his "former" flame Karrueche Tran the other night...it's enough to make a girl reach in the closet and pull out something 'Fresh Off The Runway'. Only time will tell what tomorrow will bring....but we're expecting something new. But for now.....

| Posted: 14 May 2013 06:12 AM PDT Well this is...awkward. Erica Dixon was not wearing her engagement ring last night when she showed up to the Uptown Magazine Project13 Event. And when her supposed fiancee and "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" co-star Scrappy showed up, he was boo'd up with the chick who's been coming between him and Erica--Shay "Buckeey" Johnson.
We know Mama Dee is jumping for joy. But check out the pics inside to see who else showed up.... At the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta last night, Uptown magazine held their PROJECT13 day of change event. And it was created to acknowledge and support 13 selected nonprofit organizations and campaigns dedicated to impacting the lives of those in need in the Atlanta community. So "LAHH ATL" stars, who impact our communities in a not-so-positive way but oh wells, made their way to the event. And it looks like Shay finally got her wish of Scrappy having her on his arm. And not Erica.
Erica showed up looking sexy in green, and avoided Scrappy and Shay all night. But we never really understood why Shay thought she was actually "dating" Scrappy rather than just getting it in as we're sure he does with plenty of chicks. Shay felt special since he calls her his "best friend," and now he's giving her the attention she wants, now that he and Erica are on the outs after her big blow out with MaMa Dee. Buckeey rocked a cute and colorful arsty print dress for the occasion. And we're actually going to say it, she looks great. She posed it up with Rodney Perry and former "RHOA" star Lisa Wu. Lisa rocked a little black dress and her Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Hosts of the evening were V103 Atlanta's Egypt Sherrod and NBC 11Alive anchor Demarco Morgan.
Scrappy, who showed up at the end, got his pose on. Y'all know he's the Prince of da souf so he needs to let y'all know in pics... The ladies appeared to have a good time for a cause. Check out a clip from last night's episode of "LAHH ATL" where Erica tells Scrappy she wants to halt their engagement because he doesn't have her back in dealing with his mama:

| FIRST LOOK: Lauren London Gets Fab For FEARLESS Magazine Posted: 14 May 2013 04:54 AM PDT She's naturally gorgeous and she's racking up acting points as taking on the tricky role of the new star of BET's "The Game." So it's only right Lauren London was named the newest FEARLESS female for FEARLESS' new digital issue.
Check out what Lauren says keeps her from fearing life. And only TheYBF.com has the first look at her very pretty pics for the mag...
Lauren's showing her many sides of "pretty" for her new FEARLESS photoshoot as the mag's celebrity guest editor of the digital issue. She's rocking extra long & laid hair for a few pics in a pretty white sheer blouse and contour pants, then rocking a short bob and a sexy tomboy look for a few other pics. And, of course, chick pulls off both fabulously. The mom of one is juggling her newfound TV show stardom as ex-child star turned socialite "Keira Whitaker" on BET with being a single mom to her son she has with Lil Wayne. But don't cry for her. She's making it all happen and looking her usual hot self while doing so. FEARLESS said in their press release:

| BABY BOSH 2: Adrienne & Chris Bosh Expecting Baby #2! Posted: 13 May 2013 07:52 PM PDT Miami Heat star Chris Bosh and his Instagram loving wife Adrienne are expecting baby #2. Check out how Mrs. Bosh made the announcement with her son Jackson and stepdaughter Trinity inside.... Adrienne Bosh is gearing up for her second baby with Miami Heat baller Chris Bosh, who's currently in the NBA playoffs. And the petite Mrs. announced it with a photoshoot (we know how she loves those) involving her baby boy and stepdaughter.
The basketball wife posted the pics earlier tonight to announce their new addition to the family. And she said on an NBC 6 news special, which was about her Mother's Day brunch for underprivileged expectant mothers, that she's 3 months along. Adrienne told the group of women the news Sunday afternoon (pictured above at the event with NBC correspondent Roxanne Vargas) saying:
And we must say, Adrienne could have fooled us being 3 months pregnant rocking this curve hugging dress just 4 days ago, with no sign of a bump:
Last year, Chris jetted back to Miami during the NBA playoffs for the birth of Jackson. Looks like pregnancy during the playoffs is becoming a tradition. Congrats to the Boshes!

| Posted: 13 May 2013 05:55 PM PDT Earlier today, Steve Harvey received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in honor of his many contributions to the entertainment industry. See the photos inside.... Today, legendary comedian Steve Harvey (atop with former "Steve Harvey Show" co-stars Wendy Raquel Robinson & Cedric The Entertainer) was honored with a star in the radio section of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Though his star is in the radio section of the famed boulevard, Steve has made successful forays into both television and film. Fellow talk show hosts Ellen Degeneres and Dr. Phil also came out to support him. Sweet! Famed actor Samuel Jackson was also there....looking so Fresh & so Clean like Steve. The kaaaaangs! Cedric The Entertainer posed for pic with his former "The Steve Harvey Show" co-star and fellow King of Comedy.
Steve also celebrated with his fab wife Marjorie Havery and all the children. When speaking about his success and his large porfolio of projects (radio, tv, film) he told Variety, "I just always wanted to keep evolving and reinventing myself. Most people get stuck on one idea and you can miss out on a lot of opportunities … but everything is centered around my comedy.” Congrats Steve!

| Posted: 13 May 2013 05:00 PM PDT Rihanna and Wale love to party it up. Check out the two hitting the club in NYC last night with DJ Suss One and Rih's girl, model Cara Delevingne...
Rumors are circling about Wale & Rihanna possibly being more than friends as of late. But we're not co-signing or believing any of them. Rih's actually working on some new music, possibly a remix to "Bad", with Wale. And she even tweeted a pic the other day of the two working together: So it's only right she and her Roc Nation/MMG partner Wale partied it up together at Pink Elephant in NYC last night to blow off some steam.
And Rih's still pushing her fashion savvy in a new 2013 summer collection for River Island that she's working on with Adam Selman. Check out the inside fotage of how the line came to be below:
The Randomness: 1. Danity Kane is apparently reuniting without Diddy's blessing. They're planning to record new music and go on tour. Interesting. STORY

| SPORTS: Kobe Bryant's Parents Swear He's LYING, Say He GAVE The Memorabilia To His Mom Posted: 13 May 2013 04:02 PM PDT Kobe Bryant's parents have filed their own paperwork claiming their son GAVE his memorabilia to them! Find out what they said inside....
We suspect that Pamela Bryant, the mother of basketball legend Kobe Bryant, didn't have a great Mother's Day yesterday. We told you earlier about Kobe's legal teaming putting the smack down on Goldin Auction and preventing his mom from selling off his memorablia. Now, we've got the deets on the situation from the perspective of Pamela, Kobe's dad Joe and even Kobe's grandma and sister. Talk about some family drama... Apparently, the court documents filed by Kobe insinuate that Kobe's mom stole the items from Kobe's home. But in their defense, both Pam and Joe filed sworn declarations that Kobe willingly gave the items to Pamela over the years. Joe specifically said that over the years, Kobe had given Pamela a number of items and said, "Here mom, these are for you." And Pam insists she never took anything without permission. And since he willingly gave them to her....she has a right to sell them. Also, Kobe's grandmother got dragged into the drama filed a declaration supporting Pamela. Oh, and there's another sibling. But she supports Kobe. His sister, Sharia Washington says their mother has been conspiring to sell Kobe's items for a long time and wants to profit from his stardom. Damn homie. We guess the family won't be getting together for fireworks on the 4th of July....unless it's in the court room. For now....the auction is still postpooned.
