Camera loving celebs Kanye West and Kat Stacks are back in the spotlight.  Kanye will be headlining the Governors Ball this summer while Kat is posting new pics and videos.  Get more deets inside....

For the past few months it seems like Kanye has made more headlines as Kim Kardashian's boyfriend/baby daddy than as a musician...but that will soon change.  The "Clique" rapper has signed on to headline the upcoming Governors Balls in NYC on Randall's Island from June 7-9.  He will be joined by Kings of Leon, Nas, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Dinosaur Jr., Japandroids, and Feist.  And while he mentally preps for the concert, Kanye is currently in Paris for Fashion Week where he's sitting on all the front rows...

And guess who's back......

 photo katstackpisdde_zpsf14f262e.jpg

 

The vixen formerly known as Kat Stacks (now going by Andrea Herrera) is back with a few new booty shots and a new outlook on life. Andrea is now being managed by "Q" of World Star Hip Hop and tweeted that she's turning over a new leaf...and that includes no sex.  She said, "I've been celibate for over 2 years & will remain that way for my husband."

Mind you....most, if not all of that time, was spent behind bars for issues stemming from her immigration status...but whatevs. 

And Kat (we mean Andrea) is back to making videos...but now she is talking about her life experiences (not rappers).

 

Watch Andrea discuss how pressure from the media got her out of jail:

 

Andrea reveals that she "set" Soulja Boy up and reveals that most of her videos were all in fun. She says she won't air out rappers anymore:

How humanitarian of them.  Check the vid above.  His album R.E.D. is in stores now.

Future CONFIRMS Relationship With Ciara, "She Makes Me Happy, I Make Her Smile"

Future opened up about his budding friendship with singer Ciara saying they have great chemistry and he hopes it will turn into something more...once the haters stop hating. Watch what else he revealed about Ciara and what's standing in their way inside....

 photo Ciara-Future-LA1j_zpsf0ff2c39.jpg

When we saw Ciara and Future wining and dining with each other in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago we suspected something was up between the two.  And with a recent pair of collaborations and an interview with Hot 107.9′s DJ J , he all but confirms the two are more than just EPIC label mates (how convenient).  But there are a few things standing in their way.

We are at a time where, I am on Epic, she’s on Epic, I love music, she loves music. And we love being in the studio with each other. We love being around each other and that’s just what it is. The chemistry is there. It’s amazing. She makes me happy, I make her smile.

Oh?  He continued,

She’s a beautiful woman, amazing, incredible, everything that comes with those words, that’s what she represents. I can tell you, all the negativity that comes with me and her is not true. Our personal lives is our personal lives. Sometimes people present it like it’s true and they think they have facts, but at the end of the day, we know what’s true and we know what’s not true and anything negative from that situation, we [are] not even representing that. What you see is what you get.

Well that's sweet of him.  Still, a part of that negativity stems from Future's baby mama of their 2 month old (who once tweeted that Ciara was "#hasbeen") and others near their social circle.

Anything negative around that is all false because every time you are doing something positive and somebody sees you happy, they want to find something to tear you down. She’s a great woman.

I believe at the end of the day, once the media passes over and all of the foolishness goes past, we gon’ be able to be good. And we gon’ be good. It’s only comments, rumors and certain speculations. As long as we have that understanding, no one can ever come between us.

Though we suspected this could be a publicity stunt to get folks interested in One Woman Army, Future seems to have genuine feelings for Cici so we hope folks say "Sorry" and let them "Sweat" together. 

In the meantime, fans can pick up his mixtape Future Presents FBG the Movie, but his forthcoming album Future Hendrix: Passion is Pain doesn't have a release date yet.

Karrueche Goes TOPLESS & Nude Bottom'd For ROLLING OUT, Hangs Out With Chris Brown At Draya's Birthday Bash

 photo cover_K_10p_web-650x824_zps20e42cd2.jpg

Karrueche Tran is playing no games when it comes to making sure her name stays in the mix....even after Chris Brown has dumped her.  The creator of The Kill clothing line is covering the new issue of ROLLING OUT magazine....in nothing but nude panties.

 

Check out her pic plus what she now says about Chris & Rihanna inside....

 photo IMG_9564wm-650x433_zpsb102ac80.jpg

Yep, we had to do a double take too as we weren't sure chick was rocking any bottoms at all.  But Breezy's sometimes-ex-boo is showing off her tatts, perky boobs and more for the new cover of Rolling Out magazine.

She went down to Atlanta last week and made it her mission to meet Tameka "Tiny" Cottle's hairstylist Shekinah.  And that she did.  They actually let Shekinah do a video interview with her for the magazine....and y'all already know foolish questions ensued.  That's why we love her.

In part 1 of the video, Karrueche addressed the rumors abut whether Chris even knows he's wrong (he does), that he bought her a home (he didn't), and if he's really with Rihanna (we'd have to ask Rih).

 photo IMG_9361wm-650x433_zps1bdd705e.jpg

On her current relationship with Chris

"It is what it is at this point. We're still gonna be friends.  Because at the end of the day he was my best friend.  And we have a business together.  There's no way around it."

On the breakup

"Any breakup is going to be terrible.  I had my moments.  I put that all in the past now."

On how she felt about Rihanna before Chris

"She's dope but..."

 photo IMG_9373wm-650x975_zps3fd6a3a1.jpg photo IMG_9561wm-650x975_zps64846b08.jpg

And from the magazine's interview:

“The most challenging part about the attention was the negativity and the misconception from some people,” Karrueche reveals. “People only see you in blogs and they think they know everything about your life. There are things that go public and everything that comes out is not the truth.”



Short and to the point.  Meanwhile, Kae wasn't lying when she said she and Chris can't avoid being "friends."  The two hit up Chris' other ex, "Basketball Wives: LA" star Draya Michele's, birthday party last night in L.A.:

 photo 2wowwif_zpsb44e818b.jpg photo 2djcx2h_zps8d5ac3cd.jpg

The trio has been spotted hanging out a lot over the past year.  Something tells us none of them are strangers to threesomes...with each other.  Just a thought.

Check out Shekinah and Kae chop it up for Rolling Out below:

The ladies also did lunch and shopping and played a session of “Truth or Dare.”   Check out the full interview over at Rolling Out.

Rihanna SMOKES OUT In CONTROVERSIAL Tour Rehearsal Photo, Parties On Her Break

As she preps for her Diamonds World Tour, it's Rihanna's backstage antics (smoking blunts and Chris Brown collaborations) that have folks scratching their heads.  See her latest controversial pic inside.....

 photo rirhd9_zpsc4a75d88.jpg

Hard-working pop starlet Rihanna is set to trek around the world once again for her Diamonds World Tour following her recent "777" trek around the globe.  But it's what Rihanna does off-stage that seems to keep the public intrigued and sometimes offended.  FOlks posted to her Instagram and around the net that she should chill out on all the smoking...especially during tour.  And on a side note, we all know she wants to do everything she can to make that voice sound right.

So the "Pour It Up" diva recently posted some BTS flicks from her Diamonds World tour rehearsal which included her smoking a blunt with the caption  "You a real nigga, then phuck wit me!" 

One of RiRi's most recent critics was Golden Globe winner and "Girls" director Lena Dunham who took her to task for rekindling a relationship with Chris Brown, all the "smoking" photos and how it may impact her female fans.  She told Alec Baldwin's"Here's the Thing" podcast,

“It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you have to take seriously. Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna

“She’s talented. And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed…And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old.”

But we all know outside opinions will do very little to deter Rihanna's behavior....because she's so Unapologetic.

 photo rir6833_zpsb014379c.png

In other Rih Rih news, one of the latest dates added to the Diamonds World Tour lineup with A$AP Rocky is an appearance at Revel's Ovation Hall on April 26, 2013.  The exclusive presale begins Thursday January 24 at 10 a.m. and ends Thursday, January 24 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. 

She posted to Instagram,"Diamonds World Tour. It's approaching so quickly, and I'm hype az shit! Big ups to my niggaz who got tickets, you're epic for that!!! #shinebrightbitch"

EXCLUSIVE: Angela Yee RESPONDS To Erica Mena GOING UP TO HER JOB TO THREATEN HER This Morning-- "I Walked Past Her & She Didn't Say Anything!"

There's been foolish twitter beef this week between "Love & Hip Hop " Season 3 star Erica Mena and Power 105.1 radio host Angela Yee, all stemming from Angela doing her job and asking fans what they thought abut Erica's new record.  Now, Erica's taken Twitter to the streets and went up to Yee's JOB this morning to threaten her in person.

 

Check out what Angela Yee exclusively tells TheYBF.com about the incident...

 photo 05226096661511e28ef622000a1fa434_7_zpsaa2c766b.jpg

The reality chick, model and wanna be singer Erica Mena decided to post up up outside the Power 105.1 headquarters in NYC while Angela did her morning show duties.  Aside from the fact it is ARCTIC cold in NYC right now, especially at 6AM, Erica brought Angela some doughnuts...wrapped in insults.

Erica posted the above pics showing herself decked out in football facepaint and sweats (and we wonder why she wasn't this prepared when she tried to fight Kimbella last season).  And she issued a few threats and insulted Ange's business deal with Belvedere Vodka:

E Money feeds the hungry! Your breakfast is waiting @angelayee ! #SponseredByCiroc Fuck Belvey Lmfao
@angelayee is real hungry in the Am's. Talking about me & My SON so I decided to come bring her some breakfast today!!

Apparently, Erica is harboring some anger about Angela asking, during the Twitter beef, how a person like Erica has a son in this world.

So we spoke to Angela this morning right after the incident, and it sounds like Erica was possibly all talk. Yee tells TheYBF.com she doesn't even know Erica, and Erica definitely didn't say anything when Angela walked past her this morning :

I hope she gets the help she needs. I walked past her and company this morning into my building, and didn't even pay any attention to the cab sitting out front. She didn't say anything to me, and I didn't even realize it was her until she posted pictures on Instagram holding doughnuts and wearing football makeup.

Womp. 

Erica's still talking on Twitter saying:

Dam This chick that shook she just ask power 105 to ban all #LoveandHiphop cast from the building! Smh think before you talk about some1 kid
Smh I was being nice too, I just brought the bitch some donuts ! Lmfao

We're going up to people's jobs at 6am now over Twitter beef?  Foolywang material.

 

 

Evelyn Lozada & Shaunie O'Neal Tape Season 5 Of "Basketball Wives" ..While Doing Some Shopping

"Basketball Wives" Season 5 taping is underway.  And after half the cast got the axe at the end of last season, we know so far that besties Evelyn Lozada & Shaunie O'Neal are returning with a lot to say.

 

Pics of the fresh faced ladies filming while shopping inside...

Out in L.A. yesterday, Evelyn showed off her new dark hair color for the "BBW" cameras while rocking a tight striped dress and wedged heels.  The author and Latina mag fitness spokeswoman looks happier than ever while shopping it up with her boo Shuanie O'Neal.  So whether the rumors are true that she and Chad have reconciled (she exclaimed on her Twitter today that they are not together), whatever's going on, it's working for her.

 photo spl485480_022_zps97b4be1f.jpg

Shanuie, in a cute multicolored maxi dress, and Ev watched a dog on wheels spin by as they shopped on Robertson Blvd in L.A. yesterday while the cameras rolled.

 photo spl485872_014_zps52df00bb.jpg

 photo spl485480_032_zps38b7e9d6.jpg

The Ev & Shaunie twosome spoke a little while ago to VH1 about what to expect from Season 5:

“We never go into a season saying, ‘Hey, well this is what we’re going to do. I know it’s been—especially last season was a little crazy, but we kinda just go with the flow. We’re hoping it’s smooth rolling next season."

And Evelyn also said what we already knew, she hangs out with Shaunie all the time, but only sees the other chicks when it's time to film.

"Evelyn and I keep in contact and we do stuff together throughout the year, but when it comes to everybody else, it’s kinda like we just get together when it’s time to do a show.”

Is anybody else wondering who the next victims cast members of "BBW" will be?

We've got the first listen of Cassie's first official track off her upcoming mixtape RockaByeBaby.  And the gorgeous model chick flipped Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything" to make her own "All Gold, All Girls" Remix."  And she tapped rapstresses Trina& Lola Monroe to spit a few bars. 

 

Check it inside...

It's the ladies' turn to flip the much remixed "All Gold Everything".  So Cassie copped the track for her own "All Girls, All Gold" song that will appear on her upcoming mixtape RockaByeBaby.

 photo tumblr_meqhg5O4bb1rvb96eo1_500_zpsb86bebee.jpg

Cassie also gave us some insight into the process of her new projects.

"I've been working on this Mixtape (RockaByeBaby) for a while now," The Bad Boy frontwoman tells TheYBF.com exclusively. "I wanted to give my supporters new music before my album. It was important for me to create it because I needed a moment to grow into being an artist as well as wanting to create something that my friends and I could listen to. I thought what better way to start that than by remixing my favorite records out right now.  I've been currently working with Trinidad James on a few projects and we came up with an All Gold, All Girls remix featuring Trina and Lola Monroe."

Cassie went on to reveal what we can expect from her new album and the mixtape saying, "The rest of the Mixtape includes other remixes but also a lot of brand new music from me featuring Rick Ross, Pusha T, French Montana, Jeremih & more. I'm really proud of this project as it is the first time I really feel in control of the music. It's a vibe. It's for the kids that appreciate music and I can't wait for everyone to hear it.

On this "All Gold, All Girls Remix", The "King of Hearts" singer rocks the hook while Trina and Lola Monroe push out their own verses.  Cass also sang a few verses of her own dishing about her posh life in Paris and beyond:

I aint f*ckin with no b*tches/We aint takin' no pictures/Smoke weed and blow kisses/Top speed and go missin'/You should be embarrassed/Talkin' about me/Just shoppin' in Paris/Mindin' my business

Popped a molly I'm dancin'....

Last night in NYC, TLC hosted an intimate press screening of their new show "Starter Wives Confidential" at the INC Lounge in Times Square. Cast members Josie Harris (ex-fiance of Floyd Mayweather), Liza Morales (ex-girlfriend of Lamar Odom), Tashera Simmons (ex-wife of DMX), Monica Joseph-Taylor (ex-wife of Funkmaster Flex), Zakia Baum (ex-girlfriend of Maino), and Cheryl Caruso (ex-wife of Phil Caruso) spoke during the post-screening Q&A.

The panel was moderated by model/actress Liris Crosse.

 photo tashera2_zps5f55599c.jpg 

After the viewing, Liris posed with Tashera who revealed that she has finally moved on: “I was 100% mother and wife.  When I love, I love hard. [DMX] was great at what he did – which was cheating – but I’m happy as hell now. I’ve found someone very special in my life.”

Damn!

 photo tashera1_zps4a530444.jpg

Perhaps the most famous of the cast, Tashera will spend the season striving to get her life and finances on track while divorcing DMX, her childhood sweetheart. She is the mother of their four children.

 photo tashera102_zps1ff6449b.jpg

Monica Joseph-Taylor is the owner of a blog called Mommy's Dirty Little Secret and the mother of Funkmaster Flex's two children. They are going through a divorce.  Can't wait to hear that dirt since Flex likes to drop bombs on everyone else.

 photo tashera10_zps444bc8a1.jpg

Liza Morales, in a leather ASOS skirt, is the former girlfriend of NBA Clippers star Lamar Odom and the mother of their three children. Though she never married Lamar, she was forced to watch his whirlwind marriage to Khloe Kardashian. She shared that she was a virgin when she hooked up with her baby daddy.“[Lamar] is the only man I’ve ever been with. I know the worth of my cookies.”  Oh?

 photo tashera9_zps296ff7e2.jpg

Josie Harris is the outspoken mother of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s three children. You may recall their relationship involved a few domestic disputes. But...they are still "talking." She said, “Actually, I went to see [Floyd Mayweather] last week.” Of course.

 photo tashera8_zpsa89c436c.jpg

Zakia Baum, a Brooklyn-born-and-bred devout Christian woman (her words, not ours) shares a son with her ex, rapper Jermaine "Maino" Coleman.  She said, “I’ve never done [Maino] dirty. So it’s time for me to tell my story.”

 

"Starter Wives Confidential" premieres Tuesday, January 29 at 9/8c on TLC.  Against our better judgment, we'll be watching....

Michelle Williams is going back to the stage for a 16-city run of "FELA!" See pics from her rehearsal inside and find out what she shared about Beyonce-Gate and the alleged Destiny's Child SUPER BOWL reunion performance during a stop by "GMA."

 photo fela2_zps0ccc3f29.jpg

Yesterday, Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams was spotted singing and dancing during rehearsals for the touring company of 'FELA!' at the Pearl Studios in New York City.  She is playing the role of Sandra Isadore, who was Fela's African-American lover.  Maija Garcia, the tour director and choreographer, spoke of Michelle's addition saying,

"Sandra is our key for an American audience to look at Fela and understand a bit more where Fela may have been coming from.  And an American audience can very much identify with Michelle Williams because she's of our time. She really becomes a vehicle for people to learn about Fela and for people to understand why Fela is relevant in the United States."

 photo fela3_zps21200544.jpg

She'll be starring alongside Adesola Osakalumiin (who plays Fela Kuti) during the 16-city run. 

And she's not too busy to defend her girl Beyonce.  During a recent promotional interview for the show, she stopped by "GMA" this morning where she was asked what she thought about Beyonce-Gate and the controversy surrounding her possible lip-syncing.  She said,

"It’s disappointing and saddening to me. It’s just shocking to me that it’s taken on this. I love her so much. I know what she possesses. That was such a big moment for her and I just wish people would just let it go and just continue to look for what she’s going to be bringing for ya’ll in the future.”

But when it came to rumors about her reuniting with Destiny's Child at the Super Bowl, she wouldn't answer the question directly. “I wish that I could say it’s possible. I wish that I could say and I know that you all showed some ‘Fela!’ rehearsals so that’s what I’ve been doing and what I’ve been focusing on."

She also addressed her personal bout with depression. 

"I just want people to know that it’s okay to go talk to somebody,” she said. “It’s okay to go get some help. It’s really okay to deal with whatever it is that had you so low. I choose to be happy. It is a choice. I choose life and God has blessed me with a great one.”

 

Michelle starts "Fela!" at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29, before stops through Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Nashville, Tenn and other locales.

On the next episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter"  Oprah sits down with multi-platinum artist and actor LL Cool J in his Los Angeles home. The "NCIS" star opens up about his recording career, his sex-crazed youth, his abusive childhood and the night he wrestled a burgular who entered his home.

His wife, Simone and their four children also join the conversation. Watch Oprah's interview with LL Cool J on Sunday, January 27, at 9/8c.

And in new music videos....

Since sometimes we like to check out a newbie....Capitol Records artist Jarvis has released a brand-new video for his debut single for Capitol Records, “Make A Little Room.” Shot in Los Angeles, the video was directed by Jon Augustavo and appears on his debut album, Cardiology (hitting shelves later this year).

In September 2012, Jarvis released his mix-tape Heartache, which features collaborations with DJ Khaled, Waka Flocka Flame, and Lil Scrappy. Though the 23-year-old is a new face to some, he's been around for a minute and released a single called "Radio" in 2004 on Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Recordings. And in 2008, he recorded “Pretty Girl,” featuring Ludacris.

Jennifer Lopez has become the queen of exposed skin and mesh panels on the red carpet.  The singer/actress hit the Las Vegas premiere of her new movie Parker, also starring Jason Statham.  And her Kaufman Franco Spring 2013 dress turned every head in the building.

THIS is how you rock a white dress with with no undies...and still look classy. J.Lo let the world know once again that her 43-year-old bod can still slay a red carpet.

For her big premiere night at Planet Hollywood Resort, she showed off her ASSets in a long white sleeveless, halter neckline, sheer paneled backless column dress from the Kaufman Franco SS13 line.  And the curvy chick brought her diamonds, sparkly black clutch, and her man Casper along as accessories:

Alicia Keys, who's ready to “Set The World On Fire” with her North American tour kicking off March 7th, celebrates her 32nd birthday today. 

The international recording artist (shown above in a Victoria Beckham Spring 2013 black mesh top dress with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a mesh top with black cigarette pants at the 40 Principales Awards at Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid, Spain today) kicked the week off singing "Obama On Fire" during the Inaugural Ball.  But today, the Best US Artist and Composer winner will try to celebrate herself.

Alicia's husband Swizz Beatz spoke about his wife (who raises millions for various charities) saying the philanthropist rarely takes time to celebrate her own accomplishments so he decided to dedicate today to her tweeting,

Happy Bday to my Wife! A person who celebrates everybody,but hardly ever celebrate her self...Happy Birthday to the Queen

And in addition to writing her own music, Alicia (shown above in a hot black & white dress on the Jonathan Ross Show in London yesterday) has also moved into producing movies and doing motion picture soundtracks, most recently for The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete. We just keep getting more and more of this fiery gal....

Coachella is the epitome of Festival Season.  And the musical acts have just been announced for 2013.  Check out who will be rocking the stage this spring inside...

Rappers 2 Chainz, Pusha-T and Wu-Tang will be some of the only rap acts hitting the stage this April for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.  Janelle Monae will also be headed to Indio, CA at the Empire Polo Grounds to rock the stage with her usual high energy performance.

Coachella set an attendance record of 80,000-85,000 people last year, so for musicians to be seen on that stage is big ish.  The event covers 2 weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21, with rock and indie bands taking over the stage.

Last year, Snooptook the stage with a Hologram Tupac.  We can only hope they'll be a return of somebody's Hologram this year.  Check out the full lineup below:

Like we previously reported, 2 Chainz will be making his acting debut on the CBS sitcom "2 Broke Girls" this season.  Check out a pic of him on the set with the whole cast:

MUST BE NICE: Queen Latifah Illegally Parks Her Rolls Royce.....Just To Get Coffee

When you're super rich and famous, this is how you roll just to get coffee.  Check out Queen Latifah out & about in Cali yesterday inside...

Rapper/singer/actress Queen Latifah went make-up free (as usual) in her Louis Vuitton scarf and Jordans out in West Hollywood as she picked up some coffee and food on Melrose Place.

She parked her $400,000 Rolls Royce Convertible...in front of a fire hydrant in a Red Zone.  And since she's got millions in the bank, we doubt she cared about a ticket.

Gotta love her.  Meanwhile, Queen will be a presenter at the NAACP Awards on February 1st and is working on her new talk show.

The Randomness:

1.  So Tina Turner has confirmed that she is giving up her US Citizenship to become a citizen of Switzerland.  And since she may have been able to go the dual-citizenship route and didn't, she may be doing this for tax purposes.  STORY

Beyonce Gives Sneak Peek Into SUPERBOWL Rehearsals, (Almost) Secures Blue Ivy's Trademark

While rocking her Brooklyn Nets tee, Beyonce gave her Instagram followers a peek into her rehearsals for Superbowl 2013.  Check the pics inside, plus the latest on that trademark problem The Carters faced over Baby Blue Ivy's name...

 photo ScreenShot2013-01-25at121750PM_zps17964caa.png

Looks like Bey is prepping for a big stage of dancers for her upcoming SuperBowl Halftime show in New Orleans next weekend.  The diva who has weathered the Beyonce-Gate lipsyncing controversy this week seems to be only focused on work.  She has yet to give a statement herself (but "sources" allegedly close to her have spoken out in support) on the drama. 

Ne-Yo, who has written some of her biggest hits and a talented performer himself, commented that people are being too judgmental and need to shut up and enjoy the music.  Especially since everyone knows what she's capable of.

''I didn't see the inauguration so I can't comment on her performance, but I will say that people can be so judgmental on anything an artist does, so of course Beyonce will be no exception to that rule. People are always going to be making comments, everybody is a damn expert at everything.

''You know what that woman is capable of, you know what she can do, so whether she's singing live or lip synching, whatever the case may be, just enjoy the damn music and shut up.

Totally agree.  And instead of feeding the negativity, Beuonce's posted the above two pics from her rehearsal.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that the judge in her and Jay-Z's trademark case for their daughter Blue Ivy's name has granted them the go-ahead to pursue it.

Previously, the couple hit a snag where the US trademark office put their application on hold as one merchant (a Boston wedding planner with the same name) was just granted a trademark.  But since this will be a totally different category, The Carters have been officially given the green light to pursue.

Now, they just have to show the trademark is in use on products within the next 3 years, and the trademark filing is official.

Expect some Blue Ivy branded toddler & kid gear soon....
