Gabrielle Union was a stunner last night in a white strapless dress for Debra Lee's pre-BET Honors 2013 dinner at the Library of Congress in D.C.  Check out the actress looking fab inside...

Ms. Union flew solo last night as her man, Heat baller Dwyane Wade, was already in Sacramento ahead of tonight's game against the Kings.  But she held her own in this fabulous brocade bodice sweetheart neckline strapless cocktail dress.  And she matched her sparkling brooch on the side of the dress with silver pumps.

Loving her hair and makeup for the occasion.  Kiyah Wright & Sam Fine know how to work their magic.  They tweeted that they whipped Gabby into red carpet shape in only an hour.

And host/BET President Debra Lee hit the carpet in this black & white frock.  I see she still hasn't stopped stealing from her daughter's closet....

The BET Honors tape tonight at the Warner Theater.  And will air Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:00 p.m./8c.  Gabby is set to host.

Naomi Campbell and Vladimir Doronin were spotted living their fabulous yacht life...still...down in Miami.  See the pics inside....

Supermodel Naomi Campbell flashed her world famous bod to the paparazzi yesterday as she sauntered over to her billionaire boyfriend's side on their 85 Domino megayacht yesterday.  The yacht-loving twosome were cruising Biscayne Bay, Miami.

It looks like Naomi's torn ligament in her foot has heeled nicely after it was reported she suffered a fall after an alleged mugging in Paris.  Now that she's better, we hope she struts down someone's catwalk for NY Fashion Week next month.

In the February issue of ELLE, Naomi talked about her upcoming reality show "The Face".  She cautioned that it isn't modeled after "ANTM" and threw her former rival Tyra Banks a compliment. 

“I don’t watch the other reality model shows.  I’ll never have anything to say. If you ask me about Tyra Banks, I’m proud of her as a woman of color. She’s given girls opportunity, and God bless her.”

Naomi and "The Face" premiere on Oxygen on February 12th at 9/8c.  We'll be watching...and taking notes....

Looks like the dating rumors are true about rapper Nelly and video vixen turned actress Tae Heckard.  Yesterday, we posted a new Instagram shot of the two chillin' together after rumors swirled for weeks that the two were dating.  Now, we have even more proof that Nelly has definitely moved on from Ashanti and is more than "just friends" with Tae.

Pics from their 'Black & White Ball' date night inside...

Tae (real name Lashontae) Heckard is Nelly's newest arm piece.  The rumors of the 39-year-old rapper splitting from Ashanti, his girlfriend of 10 years, are ringing more and more true everyday.

Reports surfaced a few days ago that Nelly and Tae were together at his annual Black & White ball in St. Louis last month.  And now, here are the pics.   Back in December, she posed it up (above) in a white gown with Nelly's nephew (an up and coming rapper) Tab.

And Tae's even won over Nelly's 18-year-old daughter Chanel:

They snapped pics at the event with Chanel saying on her Instagram, "She loves me."  Sounds more serious than just a jump off situation...

Chanel, pictured above with her dad at the Ball, has tweeted a few times about her realationship with Tae.  And it looks like the ladies get along just fine.

And my has she grown up.  Chanel posed it up with her mom before hitting up the Ball's red carpet later that night.

Nephew Tab, who is the son of Nelly's late sister Jackie, posted another pic with Tae recently saying how much he adores her. 

And our source close to Nelly tells us that Tae has been spending plenty of time in the Lou the last few months, hanging with the rapper's family.  And confirms they are indeed dating.

Folks know how to move on fast...

Toya Wright and Memphitz have plans to head back to reality tv. Again. Find out what their new show will be about inside.

Author Toya Wright is heading back to reality televison with her husband Memphitz (or at least they hope to be).  Toya, who starred on two BET reality shows, "Tiny and Toya" and "Toya: A Family Affair", is pitching a new show that will focus on her and Memphitz launching a new business (we're sure "The Real Mistresses of ATL" is somewhere in that portfolio) and its impact on their marriage.

The show will be called "Mickey and Toya: The Wright Way".  Even though it hasn't been picked up yet, with the number of reality tv crews stationed around ATL the and networks willing to cash in on folks with a built-in urban market, we're sure it's only a matter of time.

And we're wondering if Memphitz will use this as a platform to tell his side of the story regarding K. Michelle?

Also...
 

In the meantime, Memphitz is filming with the cast of BET's "The Game", but they can't spell his name right! He posted to Instagram, "Chilling in My Trailer: (The Game) Lol Spelled My Name Wrong but it's Still Wright. I'm Ready! *MeMpHiTz*"

Toya & Memphitz say they're shopping the show to BET, Oxygen and a few other places.  But y'all already know where this ish will end up.

This ought to be interesting....

Melanie Fiona was spotted on the set of her latest video "Wrong Side of a Love Song" recently.  Find out who's directing and who's starring in the visuals inside.....

Director/actorLarenz Tate posted Instagram pics from his latest project, Melanie Fiona's video for "Wrong Side of a Long Song" recently.  Larenz and Melanie posed with actor Omari Hardwick (atop) on the set as Omaris been cast as the leading man. 

Larenz is putting on his director's hat again to give the song, which appears on Mel's latest TheMF Life album, a hot visual treatment.

After she wraps the video, Melanie is set to team up with Swizz Beats and Music Unites (January 17) as a part of Music-Versity 2012, where they will use their musical gifts to empower 200 youth. 

After that, she'll hit the 15th Annual Sundance ASCAP Music Café, for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah next week.

It was a huge night in Washington D.C. Saturday night as celebs made their way to the 2013 BET Honors taping at the Warner Theater.  TheYBF.com was on hand for the taping, so we've got a few spoilers on what to expect.  Check out the celebs who hit up the Nation's Capitol to honor a few good people for a few good causes...

Yes Halle!  Ms Berry took command of last night's red carpet in a fiery look of her own.  In a strapless red & black watercolor high slit gown, Halle made her way to the 2013 BET Honors show as she received the Humanitarian Award (from Phylicia Rashad) for her work with the Jenesse Domestic Violence Center.

The 46-year-old pretty much shut it down looking flawless as ever.  And she posed it up with Alicia Keys and BET's President Debra Lee.

The gorgeous mom was spotted backstage carrying around her Award. We just want to pause and take her fabulousness all in for a moment....

Speaking of Alicia, she hit the carpet in this sexy black gown.  But she took the stage in a red cropped top and matching maxi skirt to perform "Brand New Me" for Ms. Berry.  She looked fab.

Host Gabrielle Union was on her sexy tip last night.  She looked amazing in an army green long sleeved, bust-cut out curve hugging dress for the carpet.

She kept the laughs going throughout the night with her seemingly dozens of outfit changes.  And the fact she told the joke again about Dwyane putting a ring on it, it makes us think homegirl is really pushing for it these days.  So much for those "we're not rushing thigns" quotes....

Super hot look for her.

Kelly Rowland was also there bringing the sexy in her black dress with a thigh high slit.  She was on hand to present an Award to Chaka Khan.

She posed it up with Luis Carr, EVP of Marketing for the network.

Backstage, Chaka Khan and Erykah Badu had some girl time posing it up for the cameras.  Chaka, looking svelte in her bronzed gown, was there to receive a tribute.  And it was Ledisi who sang "Everlasting Love" to honor the diva.  Wayne Brady also hit the stage to sing Happy Birthday to her.

Erykah Badu was on hand to open the show with "What Cha Gonna Do For Me", another tribute for Chaka.

And out on the carpet, Chaka posed it up with fellow honoree Lisa Leslie.   Lisa rocked a gorgeous black Angelo Dean gown while being presented for an award (by Anthony Anderson) for her excellence in athletics.  Brandy was also there to perform in her honor.

Beautiful dress for Lisa as she hit the carpet with her hubby!

Hey Laz Alonso.  The "Deception" star looked yummy as usual.

Debra Lee hit the carpet, in an age appropriate look finally, with her daughter and Stephen Hill.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis hit the stage to rock out with two of their hits from the 80's.

Mr. Wayne Brady kept it dapper on the carpet. 

Funny guys Cedric The Entertainer (who was there to present to TD Jakes) and Anthony Anderson kicked it backstage.

Singer Luke James hit the carpet before the show.

Celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins showed off her cute figure in her gold Herve Leger dress.

Ledisi looked like she was channeling a mermaid.  Hope this look translates properly on TV as she sang the tribute for Chaka Khan.

Mint Condition brought back their cool with a performance of "Breakin' My Heart."

Actress Kat Graham looked great on the carpet.

Bishop TD Jakes, hitting the carpet with his wife, was there to receive the Award for Education.

Beverly Bond made her way to the event of course with Bazaar Royale.

And political correspondent Roland Martin made a statement with this white brocade jacket.

The 2013 BET Honors will air February 11th. You can check out our gallery of what went down on stage in our gallery below...

Chaundrea Nicole, a woman who's desperately seeking a paternity test from "LAHH 3" star Rich Dollaz, spoke exclusively to TheYBF.com where once again she blasted Rich as a liar and issued a THREAT you'll have to read to believe. More inside.....

For nearly a year, we've been following the troubled "relationship" of model Chaundrea Nicole and reality star Rich Dollaz whom are embroiled in an ongoing paternity battle that's been AT LEAST 12-years in the making.

A little back story, we spoke exclusively to Rich Dollaz, a while ago, about Chaundrea claiming that he fathered her child and is a deadbeat dad who won't take a paternity test.  Well...he told TheYBF.com that Chaundrea was lying and he was willing to take a paternity test.

That "statement" set Chaundrea off and she denied being his "jumpoff" and provided TheYBF.com with a few texts messages where Rich pretty much blew her off and said he wasn't taking any DNA test.  

So that forced Chaundrea's hand and she had to take judicial and family matters into her own hands because she felt the courts in Memphis were dragging their feet.  According to Chaundrea,

"He had been avoiding court dates since August (see the attached document). I had to pay for my own court date because I had been waiting for years and it seemed like waiting on the “system” I would be continuing to wait. They rescheduled again and again he didn’t show and that’s when the warrant was put out on him.

I’m not sure why he would tell you that I am “fabricating” anything when he clearly is a HUGE liar in every aspect!

So fast forward to a few days ago....we told you Rich had been jailed and he talked to us (again...EXCLUSIVELY) and said things we're straightened out.  However, we've heard otherwise.   According to Chaundrea,

"I just wanted to let you know once again that he has LIED! It’s not “straightened out” he should either have had to take the DNA test while in jail (which I don’t think he did) or they gave him a court date, either way I’m not going to play with him at this point about my daughter because this effects her."

But she didn't stop there.  She also issued a VERY interesting threat for Rich (just in case he wants to follow up with another exclusive) telling TheYBF.com:

“If you keep on, you’re going to be in more trouble than just taking a DNA and child support. I know what you been doing and how you actually came to Memphis illegally and I know what else you did so if you keep on defaming my character, not only will I will be hitting you for child support I will be suing you as well, not to mention the felonies that you have committed!”

Felonies?  Illegal activity? Ummm.....does Mona-Scott Young know that Rich's real storyline isn't about Olivia's record deal OR dating Erica Mena?  Please get that UPDATE ready for the "LAHH 3" reunion!

Lastly, besides finally proving paternity, Chaundrea tells us she is on a mission to make a point to her daughter about chicks like Erica who lay up with men who don't handle their responsibilities.  She told us,

"I don’t want her to think that it’s ok to be like people like Erica because it’s not ok to be whorish to come up and get attention (like she did when she posted that OLD pic like he is with her when his ass was here in a club). I know I will be judged all types of ways but at this point I don’t care, I know what I am doing and I know who I am."

So...who's fabricating?

We'll keep you posted....

Underground ATL rapper Jai Jai (who's also the ex-girlfriend of Shawty Lo) is pregnant. And guess who's "allegedly" the father? Find out the obvious inside.....

ATL rapper Jai Jai (the ex-girlfriend of rapper Shawty-Lo) posted a pic of her baby bump on Instagram recently and it got the streets talking. 

With many folks up in arms about Shawty Lo's upcoming reality tv special"All My Babies' Mamas," many were wondering if Jai Jai could potentially be added to the list of Shawty's baby mamas.

While Jai Jai isn't listed as a cast member and wasn't featured in the trailer, a source told TheYBF.com that Shawty-Lo is the unborn child's father (but of course we won't know for sure until Maury Povich gets involved or Oxygen's reality tv cameras start rolling).

And by the way, it's not confirmed whether Shawty and Jai Jai are back together again either.

Hollywood paid tribute to some of the year's best films, television series and actors tonight at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. See photos of Halle Berry, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez and others on the red carpet inside...

The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California with Hollywood legends like Oscar-winner Halle Berry in attendance.

Halle wore an Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Haute Couture Collection high slit gown with nude heels.  She topped it off with gold earrings and a cuff both by Madstone.

And we're in utter awe at this flawless chick. It's quite sickening to be honest. But in a good way. And to look this good after a cross country flight after being in D.C. the night before? We bow down.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington wore a Miu Miu Prada dress with a vintage Movado watch. She looked great for the ocassion and sat with her Django co-stars.

Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez walked the red carpet in a nude Zuhair Murad long-sleeve silk gown that featured an ivory embroidered lace overlay with beading detail.

And chick shut it down. We're sure the fact two of her exes (Diddy and Ben Affleck) were in the room made her make sure she slated for the night.

She completed the look with Christian Louboutin heels, a Jimmy Choo bag, and Le Vian jewels.

"Access Hollywood" host Shaun Robinson wore a beaded teal Pamella Roland gown.

. She always keeps it classy and fab.

Rosario Dawson wore a pale blue Antonio Berardi gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Eva Longoria turned heads in a black gown with lace sleeves by Pucci.

Nicole Richie looking stunning in this lace Naeem Khan gown. One of the most effortless yet gorge looks of the night. Nicole has that effortless fabness down to a tee.

"Today" show anchors Al Roker and Matt Lauer posed together.

Olympic-gold gymnast Gabby Douglas wore a sequined chartreuse-hued Pamella Rolland gown that seemed a bit too mature for her age. And her stylist should be fired for picking out that wig! Who and why?!

Denzel Washington arrived on the red carpet with his beautiful daughter Olivia. He was every bit the proud papa while introducing her to the media. 

Diddy, Rocsi and "The New Normal" star Nene Leakes joined some of Hollywood’s biggest stars in Moet & Chandon’s star-studded “Toast4aCause” charity initiative on the red carpet at the Globes:

NeNe looked great in Carolina Herrera.

And on the show, Don Cheadle, from the Showtime show "House of Lies" won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series.

And Quentin Tarantino won the award for best screenplay for Django Unchained.

Check out the hottst looks form the carpet in the video below:

Justin Timberlake is back on his Suit & Tie ish.  He's not letting Robin Thicke be the only blue eyed soul dude in the game right now.  JT has returned to the music game after catering to his movie career for so long.  And we've got his first comeback single, "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z, inside...

“Suit & Tie" featuring JAY Z was written by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Shawn Carter, Jerome “J-ROC” Harmon and James Flauntleroy and produced by Timbaland, Justin himself and Jerome “J-ROC” Harmon.

The song is the first release off Timberlake’s forthcoming album, The 20/20 Experience, due out later this year on RCA Records.

Sounds like the newlywed's still got that sound we loved when he first hooked up with Timbaland years ago.  Decide if we love it.  Then read his open letter his fans below.

An Open Letter to you (the fans):

I hope this gets to you the right way. It's the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right?? Right?!?! Besides, I'd rather speak directly to all of you. And, who can knock me for having a little bit of fun with it?

Well... No more teasing. Although, it was A LOT of fun. (Did I mention that I'm having fun with this?? Ha!)

*Makes a serious face*

So, here goes:

This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the "grapevine," I'm gearing up for a big 2013.

Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.

The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.

What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way.

I'm calling it "The 20/20 Experience," and it's coming out this year.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.

That's all I'm giving you for now... I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!

Get ready. This is going to be fun (well, at least it is for me). 

The song is available on iTunes today.

If you thought "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore was delusional before....you'll want this chick to go and get some help after last night's "performance" of her new single "Gone With The Wind Fabulous".

Check out the video inside...

Not totally sure what's going on here, but we do know Kenya threw on her gold disco pants and a black bustier to perform "Gone With The Wind Fabulous" on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" show last night.

As she talked over the track saying the same 5 words over and over, her "dancers" were way too into this ish behind her.  We all know Kenya is going for the foolish shock-value factor in order to cause controversy, which she hopes will translate into dollars.  So we hope she gets her wish so these sad twirls can end.

In case you missed it, or just decided to turn the channel because you couldn't stand the second hand embarrassment, check it out below:

Biggie's daughter T'yanna clearly loves making a statement in honor of her late father Notorious B.I.G.   Check out her latest painful tatt she showed off on Instagram....

Because another tattoo on her skin would just be too boring, T'yanna went straight for the mouth this time around.  Biggie's daughter posted the above pic of her new inner lip B.I.G. tatt on Instagram saying:

Business instead of games !

Alrighty then.  At least he found multiple meanings for this when her boyfriends want to kiss her and all they can see and think about is her dad.

And by the way, she already has this one as well on her upper back.  Her father as an angel.

We feelin' these?

The Golden Globes Awards show wasn't the end of the night for the Hollywood celebs.  Everyone hit up afterparties to celebrate one of the most fun (and tipsy) nights during Awards season.

Pics inside...

Jamie Foxx brought his college student daughter Corinne as his date to the Globes last night. 

They were spotted at the Marie Claire afterparty, and even snapped a pic with former President Bill Clinton who took the stage earlier in the night to present present the Best Picture nomination....for Lincoln of course. 

The gorgeous Corinne tweeted about Jamie being on daddy duty after the awards:

Greatest Dad Ever! Moving me back into the dorms in his tux and I'm wearing my gown. #family

Sweet!

Spotted heading to the afterparties was newly reconciled Laker couple Kobe & Vanessa Bryant:

They had a date night out to celebrate V pulling those divorce papers....again.  They look pretty damn happy too.

Also at Marie Claire's party was J.Lo in yet another stunning gown.  She switched from her nude & sheer look to this deep plunging V neck black gown

And she didn't let running into two of exes last night ruin her romantic evening with boyfriend Casper Smart.  She even introduced her ex Diddy to Casper to avoid the awkwardness.  No word on if Casper shook and with Best Director & Best Picture winner Ben Affleck.

The twosome kicked it with Harvey Weinstein and Benny Medina:

Also sitting down chillin' at the after party was Kerry Washington and director Quentin Tarantino:

And actress Taraji P. Henson looked fab in her white jumpsuit with black leather trim.

Over at the InStyle party:

Don Cheadle brought his long time significant other Bridgid Culter (in a gorgeous dress) on the carpet.  He won Best Actor in a TV Comedy Series last night for "House of Lies."  And it was much deserved.

Garcelle Beauvais looked gorgeous as usual in her nude and sheer cocktail dress with her sparkling Sergio Rossi booties.

"Wedding Band" actor Harold Perrineau hit the carpet with his daughter Aurora.  He and his wife Brittany are pregnant again, and are due this March.

"Grey's Anatomy" actor Jesse Williams looked hot on the carpet.

Thandie Newton looked gorgeous in her silver & sheer dress and lilac heels.  She said she had a wardrobe malfunction before hitting the carpet and ripped the dress underneath her arm. 

And Thandie also popped up on the carpet at the HBO afterparty with her hubby.

Fab times.  Check out all the red carpet looks from before the Awards show HERE in case you missed them.

Unfortunately for Ice-T, one of Coco Austin's fans posted a pic of her in an uncompromising position and it had her feeling some kind of way.  Find out what she said to the fan while trying to save her image inside....

Coco Austin is famous for her suggestive pics, but the recent release of a few shots of her in a suggestive pose with another man is poking holes in the brand that she and Ice-T have created on "Ice Loves Coco."

We've already heard that Coco denies hooking up with rapperA-9, but the plot thickens.  It turns out that A-9 is friends with a man named Moose Diesel, who's the former manager of ARIA Resort & Casino’s Haze Nightclub. A-9 claims he invited Coco and a few of her Peep Show pals and reality tv crew members out to party at the club and the pair later hooked up. But that's the OLD news.

What we didn't know was that Coco was very camera friendly that night...and it's come back to bite her in the ass.  Literally. 

During that night, Moose Diesel took a few pics with Coco...that she clearly posed for. And she was fine with the pics until he uploaded them on Instagram. Coupled with the recent "A-9" scandal, it wasn't a good look for Coco so she reached out to him and asked him to take it down. He responded,

“It’s not a good look for you, not me . You knew what you were doing when you took the pic.”

Though Ice-T is standing by Coco, these pics have to be a little embarrassing. Especially for a former pimp. We bet Superfly or The Mack wouldn't put up with that ish.

And if that wasn't enough, now A-9 is talking about his night with Coco (pictured above grabbing her ass at the club supposedly recently) to HSK saying,

“I took Coco out on a date to Haze nightclub. She brought some friends…some of the crew from Ice Loves Coco even showed up too!

We had a steamy one night stand. I hate being called a liar…cuz I’m not.”

Word on the street is that there are a few steamy Coco pics floating around from that night and A-9 has taken a lie-detector test.  And it could all be yours for the right price.....

The Randomness:

1.  Robin Roberts announces plans to return to "GMA" in a few weeks.  Story.

We've all seen folks like Katt Williams and pimps from the Superfly blaxplotation era make perms and blowouts look "gangsta," but are manicures with french tips the next bold move amongst the OGs?  See Snoop Dogg taking that step inside....

Truly living the luxe life, Snoop Dogg recently shared a pic of himself lounging in a fluffy white robe (like he just stepped out of a high-end spa) while smoking a blunt.  That may sound like a "typical" Snoop Dogg evening but we couldn't help but notice his freshly manicured French tips.

Snoop (who's currently performing in India) is definitely at the point in his life where he's considered a trendsetter and tastemaker so we have to wonder if any of his male fans are going to hop on the French manicure bandwagon.

And fancy manicures aren't the only thing Snoop is into these days.  He's also taken up the game of cricket!  A few days ago he tweeted Indian batting legend  Sachin Tendulkar and said, “Ayo @sachin_rt am I seein u tonite? I need my Cricket 101! Uhearme."  Wow,  French manicures and cricket?  Snoop's come a long way from Long Beach. 

So......Snoop Dogg's French manicure.......

DO WE LOVE IT?

Talk about being ready for your close up.  Who needs just one or two covers for one issue...when you can have SEVEN.  To celebrate her seventh studio album Unapologetic, Rihanna rocked 7 different covers for the February/March 2013 issue of COMPLEX Magazine.  And yeah, they're all pretty sexy.

Check the pics inside, plus how she balances a bit of narcissism with having a humble connection with her Navy...

Rihanna spent much of 2012 being extra unapologetic...and that ish isn't stopping in'13.  And there's something pretty refreshing about that.  While she knows how to set people off by flaunting her roller coaster relationship with Chris Brown in people's faces, she still knows how to remain vulnerable and close to all umpteen million of her Twitter & Instagram followers.

So it's only right she spent her interview giving tips about how to take the best selfie (she's perfected that craft over the years with hundreds of those a month), why her relationship still is nobody's business, and why she's unapologetic about seeming like a walking contradiction sometimes.  Like how she could be narcissistic yet humble.

On taking the best self-snapshot

“Get a good light.  Get a good angle on what’s working for you that day.  If it’s boobs, make sure you hit that. If it’s face, make sure it’s fierce.”

On loving to take her self pics

“It’s narcissistic, but whatever—everyone does it. I’m capturing personality... Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.”

On having 0 f*cks to give

“When I was making this record I had no intention except the truth.  So whatever is there is real. It’s raw. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic.”

“I held back before. I didn’t show a lot of myself. I was very guarded,” she says. “I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, ‘Fuck it.’ What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.”

On her relationship with Chris Brown

“People take the little bit of information they’re fed, and they draw a picture of who you are,” she says. “Most of the time it’s wrong.”

On she and Chris talking slick about their relationship

"We don’t start the trouble, but that’s how we’re defending ourselves—by saying some slick sh*t."

If only she could be so adamant about perfecting her performance skills as she is about taking the best Instagram pics....

More of her hot covers:

Seven different Rihanna covers not enough?  She also did an exclusive gallery of selfies--since she's become the Queen of those on Instagram--for the issue.  Here's a few:

Though they've spent several holidays apart recently, Diddy seems to be making it up to Cassie with a few gifts and maybe a new home. See Cassie's latest present inside and a pic of Diddy running into his ex-Jennifer Lopez and her new man Casper.

Though they allegedly went on a post New Year's trip to Jamaica, it seems like Cassie has spent many holidays alone recently. She wasn't with Diddy on Christmas or New Year's EVe (as he was with his kids and Kim Porter).  And Cass she wasn't his date last night for the Golden Globes either.

But Diddy does seem to do things to keep her happy.

She tweeted last night a new pair of shoes that he purchased for her saying"I have the best man ever!  Thank you for my shoes baby!!"   And we told you a few days ago that he appears to be in the market for a new home...perhaps for the both of them.

In the meantime.....

After the Golden Globes, Diddy headed over to The Weinstein Company’s celebration at the Beverly Hilton where he bumped into ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez (whom we all know he'll be forever in love with) and her new man Casper Smart.  And it looks like Diddy extended his hand first.  How gentlemanly.  Or something...

Meagan Good has a new leading role on NBC in the network's newest drama "Deception."   And today, she stopped by Wendy Williams' show to dish about how she nabbed the role, if she's next on baby watch and more....

Ms. Good was spotted arriving (in a hot fitted red dress) to The Wendy Show this morning in Manhattan.  She arrived fresh faced and left out, signing autographs, in sweats looking just as flawless:

Wendy & Meagan talked about landing the biggest role of her career, exactly how long Meagan was celibate before marriage and more.

On Meagan's friendship with "ATL Housewife" Kenya Moore
I know Kenya. We actually were putting together a film a few years back. And I'm happy for her now that she's single. She wasn't at the wedding.  We "KNOW" each other.

On the weddingto husband DeVon Franklin
We had 200 people.  It was more people than I wanted to have. But we have a lot of family so….

On "Deception"
I auditioned once and got the part. The second time I went in, I didn't realize it was the actual testing.  This is my third project with Laz Alonso.  My  husband is really good friends with Laz so [the love scenes] are kind of weird because it's like kissing your brother. There's a mutual respect between both of them though.

On her siblings
I have an older sister and brother.  And a stepsister and a younger sister.  My youngest sister is in a singing group and my older sister is a singer as well.

On her husband
DeVon is a preacher but he doesn't have a 'congregation'. He does speaking engagements. We met 6 years before on a christian film and he called me into his office and told me if I needed anything to definitely let him know.  Then we met again when he exec. produced Jumping The Broom.  And here we are.

On celibacy
We were celibate for 10 months before we got married. I had to pray on it. When I told [my big sister in the business] Tasha Smith, "DeVon is my husband", She was like, "you know he's celibate right. Like real celibate."  Meagan said, "I am too." But it was only for 2 months.

On having children
"The only pitter patter I'm going to hear right now is my niece Penny and her little sister on the way."

On her eyebrows
I tattoo'd them 2 years ago. The area I grew up in, there were a lot of spanish girls. And they used to shave their eyebrows off to draw them on. When I started doing that, they didn't grow back. So I had to tattoo them on.

Must be nice to audition only once for a major lead role on network tv.....

The couple arrived with numerous items with they offered up for the gala's auction. Wendy Ellis, the foundation director spoke about Shaq's involvement and the purpose of the event saying,

“We thought how great would it be to do something on a really big scale, to have everyone come together from one end of the island to the other, for one night, to raise as much money as we can, not just for one, but for many local children’s charities.”

Also, Shaq tweeted about his new venture with TruTV, a comedy series called "Upload With Shaquille O’Neal" where he and a group of comics will present funny online videos and create a few of their own viral clips.  The series is expected in the early part of the year.
