Kelly Rowland is upping that freak factor with her new song "Kisses Down Low".  Check it inside, plus new music from Kevin McCall and Prince's big BILLBOARD honor...

If there was any doubt if Kelly was as quiet and goodie goodie as she likes to come off....we now know that's pretty far from th truth.  Ms. Kelly has put out a few songs that were a bit sexier than we expected from her.  And her newest single, "Kisses Down Low," solidifies her place in the "freakum girl" crew. 

The song is produced by Mike Will Made It (who also did Juicy J's "Bandz A Maker Her Dance" and Rihanna's "Pour It Up").  And it will appear on her upcoming studio album Year of the Woman.  Check it below:

Kelly wrote on her website:

Hi guys! It is with great pleasure that I share with you my brand new single, “Kisses Down Low”, produced by Mike WiLL Made It. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it! Stay tuned for the iTunes release, coming soon!

You feelin' it?

After Amber Rose used the word "husband" to describe her fiance Wiz Khalifa in front of the paparazzi cams this past week, a report hit the net that they had secretly gotten married.  But just as we suspected it's just pet names folks.

Wiz's denial of a secret marriage inside....

Amber told the TMZ paps that "her husband" loves the Ninja Turtles when they ran into her out in L.A. last week.  That led the site to report that the two must have gotten secretly married. 

But like we reported, Amber & Wiz have been calling each other "husband and wife" since the day they got together.  And that's all it was.  Wiz followed up with the site yesterday saying:

“We’ve always called each other husband and wife since day one. We’ve always been husband and wife.”

Wiz previously said the two would be married on paper before the baby is born.  And their little Wizbud is due February 24th.  So....

Meanwhile, Amber's getting all nostalgic on Instagram posting side by side pics of her and Wiz's baby pics so the fans could see what their baby boy COULD possible look like.  She said:

Seems like a long pregnancy to u guys? Yea tell me about it Lol I started showing at 10weeks! At the VMAs I was only 16 weeks! #BigBoy :-) I know my Rosebuds & Rosestuds r anxious 4 ur Lil bro 2 be born but Muva isn't due til Feb 24th maybe even a Lil later patience my Luvs :-)

Good luck you two!

Alonzo Mourning and his championship ring were hard to miss yesterday evening as he and his wife, Tracy, arrived into Washington D.C. ahead of the Inauguration festivities.

We've got their cute pics, plus Halle Berry looking totally smitten while out shopping with fiance Olivier, inside....

How cute!  42-year-old NBA champ Alonzo Mourning cuddled up with his wife, Tracy, as they braved the arctic chill of D.C. last night.  The Miami couple bundled up outside the airport while waiting for their car.  And we're sure they're gearing up for the umpteen Presidential Inauguration festivities this weekend.

Meanwhile, over in L.A.:

Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez are so in love and they love to show it.  Ms. Berry is starring in the upcoming flick Movie 43, and her Frenchman seems to never be able to keep his eyes off her.  Can we blame him?

The twosome were spotted arm-in-arm while shopping around their city yesterday:

Loves that bag Halle.

Gorgeous alert!  First Lady Michelle Obama took her bangs for their first party run at last night's Children's Inaugural Ball in Washington D.C.  Check out our YBF First Lady making a fab appearance with daughters Sasha & Malia to the concert every kid would have loved to be at. 

Pics inside...

With over 5,000 military kids and their parents attending the big Children's Ball at the Washington D.C. Convention Center last night, it was a big night for everyone involved.  First Daughters Sasha & Malia led the way in their cute looks for the night, and their mom Mrs. O looked fabulous as usual in a long white button down Alexander McQueen tunic, belted with a yellow sash with a sparkling brooch, and black satin pants.

First Granny Marian was there to support of course.

And everyone cheered on Katy Perry and Usher as they took the stage to perform.

Both Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden hosted the event through their Joint Forces Charity and were on hand to speak to the crowd.  FLOTUS told the crowd, “My very favorite part of this entire weekend is being right here with all of you."

Ok we see you in those boots Dr. Jill....

The girls screamed their heads off for Mindless Behavior.  We hear they gave a special shout out to the Obama daughters....who were extra giddy on the front row.  How cute!

Usher and his red sneakers took the stage for a laser-filled performance.  And the event was emceed by America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon.

And the First & Second ladies snapped pics with military families backstage.

Rocsi Diaz posted a few pics from her interview with the fab ladies for "Entertainment Tonight."  She says Sasha & Malia told her they are huge fans of "106 & Park." Interesting....

But earlier in the day, the President and Mrs. Obama celebrated the National Day of Service by helping out with a decorating project at a local D.C. school, Burrville Elementary:

Loves them.

Cassie Ventura is giving us curls in 2013.  Check out the new look she just showed off to her fans, and decide if we love it....

It's almost like a "Control" spiked curls throwback to Ms. Jackson.  Singer Cassie has given up the straight haired two-shaven-sides look for a more vintage look of big curls and only one side shaved.

The 26-year-old "King of Hearts" singer tweeted pics of the new look simply saying "New Year."  Maybe this will give her the buzz she needs to finally drop that Electro Love album.  Or not.

So, about this new hair...

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Hottie Matt Kemp is putting his barrier breaking career to good use.  The professional baseball player served as Grand Marshall for the L.A. MLK parade this weekend.  And even posed it up with legendary black Dodgers players as he rocked Jackie Robsinson's jersey.  Pics inside...

Back in 2011, the 28-year-old Dodgers star signed a franchise record 8-year, $160 million contract extension.  And in a year where the Jackie Robinson film, about the iconic racial barrier breaker of the (then Brooklyn) Dodgers, is due out, Matt took the time to celebrate with legends from his team.

On Saturday afternoon (January 19), Matt kicked off the official MLK parade as the 2013 Celebrity Grand Marshall. He cruised through the city of Los Angeles with one of his biggest fans by his side, Judy Henderson, his mother.

In efforts to pay respect to those who made this opportunity possible for him, Matt opted to wear number 42, the jersey of the late Jackie Robinson. The cutie chatted with fans, posed for fan photos, and cheered on the crowd with other Dodger Alumni.

Gotta love it. 

By the way, check out the trailer for 42:

The movie hits theaters April 12, 2013 and features music from Jay-Z.

We're not fans of her political opinions...or the way she expresses them...but that doesn't stop us from eye gazing at her hotness.  Celebrate actress Stacey Dash's 46th birthday inside...

She's got a bangin' bod, gorgeous face, knows how to rile people up, and has a known divatude that gets her fired from jobs.  And isn't that a perfect formula for chicks we secretly love to hate?

Stacey Dash turns 46 today (based on what she told us herself, which is different than what most websites list) and she shouldn't be shamed in the lest bit.  The former "Single Ladies" star has spent the past year campaigning for former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, making singles, and doing weird comedic videos.

So if the real "work" dries up for her, she can always be somebody's bangin' leading lady in a video or two.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY!

Chris Brown's on-again, off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran's been all over Atlanta this weekend at the strip club and nightclubs celebrating her clothing line "The Kill"...even though it's not out yet.  She hit up Harlem Nights in the ATL last night (pictured above), and stopped to do some media beforehand.  We've got the highlights from her very first radio interview ever inside...

Kae tucked her emotional triangle with Chris Brown & Rihanna aside this weekend as she celebrated and pubbed her new clothing line.  Even though the launch of "The Kill" got pushed back, she's all for talking about the clothes, which are the female version of Chris brown's Black Pyramid line.

She stopped by Atlanta's Streetz 94.5 to chat about some things.  Here are the highlights:

On her relationship status

I can't say.  I have a lot of self control.

On if she would marry Chris if he proposed

The timing is not right now.  At all.  Everybody's focused.

On handling the hate tweets

It's hard because sometimes I really want to go there.  But I don't.  I just ignore it.  I'm on my Twitter all day.  I pretty much read everything.  You have to laugh at it and brush it off.  regardless of what I say, somebody's always going to bring some negative light to it.

Check out the full video interview below:

Her answers to a little game they played:

Drake or Chris Brown:Y'all tried it!  You already know who I'm going to say.  My loyalties lie with you know who...

Missionary or doggy style:Doggy style.

Chris' line or her own line:I love him but I'm gonna say my line.

Alrighty then....

It's official.  President Barack Obama formally kicked off his second term as President of the United States on Sunday afternoon.  And we've got the pics of his swearing in ceremony with the First Fam, plus celebs celebrating Inauguration Weekend at The Root Ball, inside...

With his fab wife Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha & Malia as witnesses, Prez O was officially sworn-in by Chief Justice John Roberts in the Blue Room of the White House during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, Sunday.  His public ceremony goes down Monday morning for the world to see from the Capitol steps:

Malia gave her dad a big hug afterwards.  And can we discuss the fabulousness of these bangs on Mrs. O as she rocked her blue Reed Krakoff dress?  Loves it!

And as Inauguration weekend rolls on in D.C., celebs are rushing to the city to celebrate O's second term as POTUS.  So Saturday night at the Root Ball, folks showed up to have some fun at the National Museum of American History.

YBF actress Angela Bassett and her short coif made their way to the event.

Beyonce Knowles is set to take the 2013 Inauguration stage--which are the steps of the US Capitol--in a matter of hours to sing the National Anthem for President Obama's swearing-in ceremony.  But just a few days before, she dished on how exactly she was preparing for this monumental occasion, if she's chosen her designer, and how she's getting rid of the nerves.

Check it inside, plus some GQ outtakes...

GQ Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman of the Century is prepping for one of this century's biggest moments.  As she's been chosen to belt out the National Anthem for President Obama's swearing-in ceremony today, even the consummate performer gets a a case of the nerves.

Se posted some pics (above) to her Instagram last night of herself practicing the Star Spangled Baner for Inauguration today.

She said in an interview with Zap2It:

"Every time I am overworked and in a stressful situation, I always think about moments like this.  And it makes everything worth while."

"My father grew up in Alabama and my father was escorted to school with security guards. He was one of the few African-Americans in school."

"There is so much history that we have overcome.  And we are growing so much. It is so beautiful that I can make my family and my family's legacy proud and it is a huge opportunity, for me."

And about getting that National Anthem perfect:

"I can't really think about it until it is over.  It is too much! There is no way I would be able to sing.

"I know it, but it is the type of thing doesn't matter how many times you sing it. And the biggest fear is making sure you sing it right, and sing it correctly."

"I am practicing.  I have the tour, the Super Bowl and National Anthem. I am rehearsing right now. I feel like I love this song. Of course it is really emotional and nothing is more emotional than when singing it for a cause, and I know -- the day after tomorrow. I don't want to think about it! I love the song because the melody is so beautiful, and you have so many choices. I want to keep it really elegant."

Meanwhile, here's some outtakes from her GQ shoot:

Even chick's outtakes are hot.

Ciara trekked it to London yesterday to celebrate the launch of her upcoming One Woman Army album.  Pics of her looking cute with fans, plus Alicia Keys celebrating Inauguration night with the Obamas....and her upcoming Superbowl performance....

Ciara threw on her sneakers and rocked a cute and casual look for her big party last night.  She launched her latest album 'One Women Army' at DSTRKT nightclub London.

And while there, she spent some time taking pics with her fans saying, "Having So Much Fun With My Fans.. #London":

Sweet.

Meanwhile, another musical chick, Alicia Keys is dishing on her upcoming performance for Superbowl 2013:

But before rocking one of the official Inaugural Balls last night and snapping pics with President & First Lady Obama, Alicia told EXTRA TV at the Sundance Movie Festival that her performance of the National Anthem for the Superbowl will be one to watch:

“Wait till you hear this one.....You’ll see.  I’m gonna do it in a way that only I can do.”

She wouldn't give any more details when pressed, but we'll be watching.  More pics of her, Swizzy and Egypt enjoying the Inaugural festivities:

Fab times.

Gotta love NBA champs who can rock a mic.  Kinda.  Check out LeBron James& Dwyane Wade giving their best "sexy" at their teammate's celebrity karaoke event....

Heat ballers Bron Bron & D-Wade his up their teammate Shane Battier's Celebrity Karaoke Event called South Beach Battioke 2 yesterday.  It all went down at the Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel in Miami Beach.  And the fellas took the mic to bust out their MJ pelvic gyrations and seduction techniques for a lucky fan. 

Thankfully, it was all for a good cause: To benefit The Battier Take Charge Foundation.  

Check out their horrid best effort rendition of "If You Ever".  Wonder if these are the moves Gabby& Savannah get in the bedroom.  Check it.

As video proof and a new statement from the Marine Band surface that may shoot down Beyonce's lip synching rumors, the superstar diva has already landed in New Orleans ahead of her huge Superbowl performance.

Check out the Marine Band's new statement and video proof from Bey's Inauguration performance mic feed inside...

Fresh off her performance of the National Anthem at Monday's Inauguration, Beyonce hopped a jet to New Orleans.  And she posted a pic to her Instagram at the city's famous Mother's restaurant. 

She and Jay were spotted grabbing some dinner there. And it seems like she's getting a jumpstart on rehearsals for her Superbowl halftime show performance.

And even after a beautiful performance of the National Anthem at yesterday's Inauguration, chick caught hate from the masses.  Well, from certain sites who kicked off reveling in possible misinformation.

Sites like the NY Post and TMZ reported earlier today that they spoke with Marine Corps Band Master Sgt. Kristin duBois.  And she told them the band was notified at the last minute that Beyonce would use a pre-recorded voice track. While reportedly all artists pre-record their music for the outdoor Inauguration due to unpredictable factors like weather, not all artists rely on it solely.  Many sing to the backing track.  However, duBois said she didn't know why (alleged) lip synching was chosen by the singer:

"It's not because Beyonce can't sing. We all know Beyonce can sing. We all know the Marine Band can play," she said.

That brings us to this evening.   And the Marine Corps Band has now backed off that earlier statement. 

Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf told the Miami Herald that because there was no opportunity for Beyonce to rehearse with the Marine Band, a live performance by the band was ill advised. They chose a pre-recorded track for the band's portion of the song.  He stated:

"Regarding Ms. Knowles-Carter's vocal performance, no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded."
 

In other words, he knows the Marine Band's music was not live, but cannot confirm whether Beyonce lipsynched.  Neither the Inaugural organizers nor Beyonce's rep have responded to requests for a statement. 

A video that the Wall Street Journal posted yesterday (before the rumors) actually uses the audio from her mic (as they recorded from the stage) instead of the speaker system like the tv outlets used.  And you can hear her voice over the track, including the feedback from the mic which explains why she removed her earpiece. Check it below:

By the way, she also just opened up The BeyHive Blog on her website with all her personal favorite things.  Chick is about her empire these days...

Apparently, R.Kelly believes he and Justin Bieber are on the same legendary level.  Check out his tweet inside, plus Frank Ocean's new single and Prince's new Billboard cover with some new music....

R.Kelly shocked all of Instagram yesterday (ok, maybe just us) when he posted a pic of him and the Biebs chillin' this past weekend.  He said:

Hanging with the homie @justinbieber this weekend #legends

Oh?  We guess an 18-year-old who's been in the game about 5 years could be a legend in his own right as he has been a top selling artist of this decade.  But let's not throw him on the level of the Kells just yet....

Seems like these two could be working on some new music together.  Could be good....

Frank Ocean has decided to make his next official single off Channel Orange.  And it's one of our faves--"Super Rich Kids" ft. Earl Sweatshirt.  It will be the fifth single off the album that dropped back in July.  The song was written by Frank himself and samples Mary J. Blige's "Real Love."  The single is scheduled for release on British market on March 11th, 2013 via Def Jam Recordings.  It likely will be a US single around the same time as well.

If you're late to the party, check out the track below:

And Prince is taking over Billboard Magazine and the Awards:

Everyone's fave name turned sign turned name again is on the scene with a new in depth interview (a rarity for him) in Billboard Magazine.  The cover subject talks about ownership in the music game--the only thing he really allows to be spoken about in interviews.

Billboard journalist, Gail Mitchell seizes the opportunity to sit down with the legendary artist.  Gail titles the article, “The O Word” after Prince makes his point that ownership is control and power. “Those are the issues that a magazine like Billboard needs to be writing about,” he says. “Billboard needs to tell the truth, shake things up.”

He's also set to perform and will receive the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards airing May 19th.  Check out an excerpt from his cover story HERE.

The Purple One also released a new song called "Screwdriver". Check it:

Rapper 50 Cent made an appearance on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show where he revealed the role Ciara played in his break-up with Chelsea Handler and talked about working with Michael Jackson and why he won't reunite with The Game.  Listen to the interview inside....

On Chelsea Handler:

Howard asked him how he felt about Chelsea saying that her White friends thought it was hilarious that they dated. 50 said he never felt like they treated him any different because he was Black. He said once she and her friends got to know "Curtis" and saw beyond his "gangsta image", he got along nicely with her friends. He said he had a lot in common with her friends as many of them were successful in their own right and involved in television.

In bed, he called her "Gator" explaining that you have to hold a "gator" down because they are all over the place. He insinuated that they were both very hands-on during bed.  Oh. He would not say if he "loved" her and when Howard interrupted and asked him if he'd ever had anal sex with Chelsea, 50 said (jokingly) that Howard had pushed the limit too far and he'd never return to the show.

On how Ciara played a role in their break-up: 

It was revealed previously (by Chelsea) that Chelsea dumped 50 because he called to complain prior to Ciara's appearance on her show and she felt that was very "8th grade."  50 said he felt like he should warn Chelsea that Ciara was still calling him so she would be aware of any tension.  Chelsea saw it as being childish and decided to cut ties with him. 

On reuniting with The Game:

50 said that The Game started acting different as soon as his first week album sales came back. He feels like Game felt he needed to get from under his shadow to be taken seriously, so he "created" a public beef so he would never been seen as simply a protege. Sounds like he learned that move from 50.  He added that there will never be a reunion and said he NEVER did anything wrong to him.

On Michael Jackson:

He told Howard that working with MJ on "Monstor" was one of the highlights of his career. MJ told him he felt that their record together was his new "Thriller". He said the MJ team reached out to him and he recorded his vocals in the booth, but never actually met him. Although, they did have a telephone conversation.

So there you have it.

By the way, 50 also had his ex, Shaniqua, ordered off the upcoming TLC show "Starter Wives" due to their teen son being involved.  Guess we won't be getting that dirt.

Kanye West has been chillin' in Paris for several days taking in the Fashion Week shows.  Now his pregnant girlfriend Kim has joined him for the Haute Couture shows.

Check out their Parisian dinner date inside...

A few weeks ago on "Live With Kelly & Michael", Kim revealed that she and Kanye want to live in three different cities with their baby--New York, L.A. and Paris.  Mainly because it will help he or she be "well rounded."  Guess she thinks they're on a Brangelina tip.

So the attention loving twosome went to one of their fave cities this week to take in the fashion shows and the fine dining.  The twosome were spotted bundled up at Lassere Restaurant last night after hitting the Colette show:

Their baby is reportedly due this July.  And since the new "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" show is off to a bleak start with only 1.7 mill viewers during its premiere weekend, we're sure some type of baby drama will get written into the "reality show" soon.  Get ready...

Video footage of Rich Dollaz being arrested for failing to make a court appearance has been released and we have it for you inside. See the video and get the latest on the Twitter war between Chaundrea Nicolle, Rich's girlfriend Erica Mena and radio personality Angela Yee...

We told you earlier about Rich Dollaz being arrested for failing to appear in family court (he had been avoiding a paternity test) and now footage of the arrest has been leaked.

The video shows the cocky "LAHH 3" reality star being arrested right in the middle of an interview.  It's interesting to note that he introduced himself as "the manager who needed a manager" and "politely" checked his interviewer for asking questions about Olivia and Erica Mena BEFORE talking about him and his projects.

Rich, who seemed to be "hiding" during the chat, mentioned to the interviewer that seeing cops "made him nervous" and he looked very uncomfortable when the cops walked towards them.  Though he was asked to identify himself and produce ID, it's pretty obvious that Rich already knew what the cops were there for.  Cameras are indeed still rolling for LAHH so hopefully they caught this ish as well.

It gets even better when Chaundrea (the alleged baby mama) greets Rich Dollaz at the door (after he is handcuffed) and yells at him for sneaking into Memphis and not handling his business with regards to their paternity suit.  SOMEBODY SHOP THIS TAPE TO THAT TRISHA GOODARD STAT!

Watch the arrest video here:

Now that you've been updated on the arrest....

Rich's girlfriend Erica Mena has been battling with our Power 105.1 Breakfast Club homie Angela Yee.  Recently, Angela commented on Erica's new single "Fantasy" on Twitter asking her followers, “What y’all think of Erica Mena singing?” As you can imagine, ALL of the responses were pretty negative. Erica shot back at Angela saying,

“This cabbage patch slore bag loves talking about me so when I run into let’s see if she can still say all this to my face.  You need to really be asking what people are going to think when I slap the blood out your face @angelayee.”

While many of Angela followers responded in support of Angela and commented on Erica's "lifestyle" which may or may not include bad parenting and alleged drug use, Angela tweeted,  “So sad that this person has a child somewhere in the world…”  We're pretty sure Erica is scared that Angela could drop that dime we ALL know about--Erica allegedly cheating with Ange's very married co-host DJ Envy.

Now here's where it REALLY gets rachet. We told you that Chaundrea Nicole REALLY took issue with Erica laying up with Rich (a man who doesn't honor his responsibility as a father) and what message that puts out to their daughter. 

On the Twitter side of this, Erica never addresses Rich's alleged paternity but instead focuses on how Chaundrea drives a broken down truck and has nappy hair. 

And to make it even worse, there are rumors going around that Rich has hired a "Crackhead" to follow Chaundrea around and take photos of her. 

The women these men choose....

Chaundrea shot back with a few tweets of her own that seemed to threaten legal action....

The real loser in this mess is Chaundrea's teenage daughter who is watching all this play out in public (and we're sure her friends are watching it too).  Really wish people would stop playing out custody issues and catfights on Twitter.  But then again, how would we ever find out how truly ratchet these fools are?

SMH. 

Meet the YBF chick who is causing a media frenzy during the Australian Open.  Sloane Stephens beat her idol Serena Williams yesterday to advance to the semifinals.  And she's only 19.  Meet the newest YBF tennis star inside....

Sloane Stephens is already a media darling.  She's already won the Junior Girls’ doubles titles at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open all by the age of 17.  And it's no wonder she's a mega athlete seeing that her mother was a college swimmer and her late father, John Stephens, was a runningback in the NFL.

Sloane said at her press conference before shockingly winning the knock out match against Serena yesterday:

"[The next match] just happens to be Serena. She's obviously one of the greatest players to ever play the game.  Without all that, it's still a tennis match … The court's the same size. You're still playing a regular person across the net. You've just got to go out and play.”

She's already been featured in Teen VOGUE and admitted then she had posters of the Williams sisters on her wall.  And as the only American out of the four finalists, she now says maybe she should hang one of herself. 

Check out her on court interview after her win below. 

Meanwhile, Serena was uber pissed after the match, as we all know how passionate she is about her game, and smashed her racquet.  And what Serena said when she first met Sloane:

“I saw her in the locker room. She was another black girl.  I was like, ‘Hey!’ That’s when I first noticed her. ‘What up, girl?”’
   

We think we have a new bubbly YBF chick to watch on--and off--the tennis courts.

And when it comes to sharing the details of life with his son and baby mama Blac Chyna, he said,

“Some people try to hide as much as they can about their personal life, but I just wanted to share it with the world. It’s a blessing.”

And on the music charts....

A$AP Rocky (who recently instagrammed a pic from his balcony in Paris where he's doing the Fashion Week thing) celebrated a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 with his Long.Live.A$AP. The "Goldie" rapper, who's done songs with Lana Del Rey ("Ridin") and Theophilus London ("Big Spender") sold 139,000 copies and is the first debut album to reach No. 1 since 2 Chainz’s Based On a T.R.U. He told MTV news,

“Having a #1 album is just crazy alone because we leaked a month early—a whole month. That means that people just really wanted to support. It must mean that the proof is in the pudding and people appreciate art again. I’m just thankful, man.”
