One of Hollywood's most fab couples, Malcolm Jamal Warner and Regina King, have split. More details inside and see Rick Ross, Tyga and Allen Iverson cover both XXL and SLAM’s ‘Kings of the Game’ Issue.....

 

Actors Malcolm Jamal Warner and "Southland" star Regina King are on the outs...and it seems like it was Malcolm's decision.  A source close to the couple confirmed the split to US Weekly saying, "He said he wasn't feeling it anymore."  Damn.

The two celebs have been friends since their early days in Hollywood as child actors (Malcolm was on "The Cosby Show" and Regina starred on "227"), but now things have gone south.  Though it took the couple a long time to confirm their relationship, often avoiding paparazzi pics together, the relationship seems to have soured rather abruptly. 

Malcolm has allegedly asked Regina and her young son (from her marriage to Ian Alexander Jr.) to move out of the home they shared. The source added, "She's still very brokenhearted."

 

And in magazines.......

XXL and SLAM have joined forces for their first collaborative issue which puts hip hop and basketball (as well as corporate sponsor Reebok) front and center. It's called the "Kings of the Game" issue and features Rick Ross, Tyga and Allen Iverson on the cover.  All three are spokesmen and creators for Reebok.  The issue hits magazine racks in New York this weekend and the rest of the country next week.

BONUS:

Speaking of basketball, one crazed fan ran to the court at the Heat's recent game in Cleveland to beg LeBron James to return to the Cavaliers!  LeBron said,"Well, he said he missed me. And come back please. And I didn’t have much time to say much to him, because security got to him." 

Peepthe crazy clip above...

 


SPEAKING OUT: Lil' Wayne Releases Video Saying, "I'm More Than Good" + Promotes Upcoming Tour With T.I.

Lil' Wayne taped a message for concerned fans to let them know he is doing well and appreciates the love.  And he only sent it to the site he's been beefing with.  Watch what he said inside and see rapper T.I. drop in to show some support AND promote their upcoming tour....

 

In a video made for TMZ, and directed by DJ Scoob Doo, Lil' Wayne shot a taped message for his fans (taped Wednesday night at 11:30pmPT) in response to all the rumors about his hospitalization and alleged drug overdose. Lil' Tunechi starts off the clip with some Janet JacksonRhythm Nation-realness where he counts down "5-4-3-2-1" and thanks his fans for all of the love and support they showed while he was in the hospital. 

"I just want to say thank you to all ya'll for ya'll prayers and your concerns and all that. I swear to God I felt that love when I was laid up in that mother----in' hospital bed. I want all ya'll to know that I'm good ... more than good." 

Then he announced that his album, I Am Not A Human Being II, will still drop on March 26.

He was then joined by T.I. and the fellas used the moment to promote their upcoming tour, which will kick off on July 5, saying, "Get you some barbecue on the 4th and holla at us on the 5th."

Then before he got up to leave, Weezy looked at the camera and said. "Kiss my fist." 

And in his most vulnerable moment on tape, he said,"I'm more than good. But thank you for real. Thank you to all ya'll out there for your prayers. I'm more than good. I swear to God, thank you."

And whatever was going on in the hotel room (prior to shooting the video) had both of their Southern drawls dialed up to level 10!  The last part of the video will be hard to understand for folks who grew up above the Mason Dixon line. 

But for what it's worth, Lil' Tunechi is back!

The Cuban-American actor rocks Yves St. Laurent, Edwing D'Angelo, & Christian Dior in this espionage themed editorial shot by photographer Sailey Williams, in Vietnamese restaurant Ah Nhau.

For his cover story, Laz discussed his role as FBI Agent Moreno in "Deception," working with Megan Good, his acting philosophy and why he would rather "inspire" than set trends.

Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons has some advice for young women making their way in the business world while looking for love.  Find out what she said inside and get deets on her views on relationships and being single. 

Kimora Lee Simmons is still making waves in the fashion world with "Kimora: House Of Fab" on the small screen and her online empire JustFab.com. 

Outside of her business ventures, the fashionista talked to the Daily Mail about her life as a single woman.  She also gave an interesting perspective on how relationships change and evolve (while explaning her friendship with her children's fathers) and she offered advice to women on the dating scene.  Here are the highlights:

 

On how things have changed between her and Russell Simmons and between her and Djimon Hounsou:

"Relationships do change throughout the course of your life and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping. Kids never go away from your life and if you've been married, that person probably never goes away either. You never get rid of anyone and...they never really get rid of you!"

On being single:

"I'm not with anyone at the moment – it's just my kids and their two dads."

"I think [men] are sometimes [intimidated], but men are intimidated by a lot of things, you know, such as jobs and bit of determination. They have a lot of insecurities about who we are, what we have, what we look like, what we've accomplished and what we're capable of because we're fabulous and capable of doing so much and juggling so much every day."

On advice for fabulous women looking for men:

"People might be mad I'm saying this, but [men] do have a lot of hang-ups. But that shouldn't deter you ladies from being great! You don't have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I've found a couple – I've been lucky – but it's probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man."

On her life's journey:

"I was modelling at ten, I married very young and I've done everything pretty early. I always joke that I've had several midlife crises already! I've definitely made mistakes along the way...'but I've got a good head on my shoulders.... things have turned out pretty well so far."

On being bullied and how it created the woman she is today:

"I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else, and I definitely didn't believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It's all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger."

 

Loving this advice.  "Kimora: House Of Fab" airs on the Style Network.

Porsha Stewart -- Talks Being A "Black Trophy Wife", Her Stepson & Her Music Career

Porsha Stewart is explaining why she's proud to be the "black trophy wife" of her husband, Kordell.  And if Porsha's newest charming statement isn't enough, she's also dishing on her music career she says she's taking seriously, and explains why her stepson remains hidden on "Real Housewives of Atlanta"...

Everyone's fave 265-days-a-year Housewife chatted up ABC News Radio about a few topics viewers have been wondering about.  Will she actually embark on a music career--seeing that her description of her voice was not hot, and we all know Kordell is trying to control her every move?   Will her stepson ever appear on the show?  And why she feels it's OK to play the trophy wife role.

Why Her Stepson Syre Isn't Featured on RHOA:
"He's a nine-year-old little boy. He's my stepson and I absolutely adore him. We did make the decision not to feature him on the show. [Real Housewives] is something that I decided to do and Kordell signed up to support me. Syre...doesn't have a place on the show for me."

Why She's Proud to Be a Trophy Wife:
"Being a trophy wife per se is not just about your outer looks. It's about the man who has put you on the pedestal and him admiring you and thinking well enough of you to put you up there. And I think it's important for our little girls to know that they can be a princesses and they can have it all...So I feel proud to represent -- and I use the word lightly -- the black trophy wife."

Explains Kordell's Less Than Thrilled Reaction to Her Not Being Pregnant on Last Week's Episode:
"With me suffering a miscarriage before that was difficult for both of us and...at that moment he doesn't want to put too much pressure on it because he knows how much that means to me. And really when you're trying to have a baby the best thing to do is to just not concentrate on it, just let it happen."

"I felt as a newlywed, you know a lot of times you go through things behind closed doors and you feel alone. And I just felt somewhere in there, me telling my story, would help someone."

On Her Music Career:
"I'm working on my sound so I've been working with different producers to get that together. It's a very serious thing to me. It's not just play play. I'm not just trying to put a one-hit wonder. I want my music to really represent me. So I've been taking it seriously here lately. I'll be coming out with a project. ...It'll be about relationships for sure and it'll just speak to that, speak to love and the struggles, and the ups and the downs and the great moments, all of that. It'll be something that -- a soundtrack to our life."

Gotta love that Porsha.  The "RHOA" finale and 3-part reunion special are airing soon on BRAVO....

 


RUMOR CONTROL: Regina King Speaks On Alleged Split From Malcolm Jamal Warner, Says "We're Good"

Regina King has spoken out about rumors of a break-up with her Hollywood boo, Malcolm Jamal Warner, saying you can't believe everything you read.  See Regina's Twitter post inside....

 

News from Us Weekly yesterday was that actor Malcolm Jamal Warner and actress Regina King had parted ways...at Malcolm's request.  Though the "Reed Between The Lines" star has not spoken out about the alleged break-up, Regina spoke to her fans on Twitter today saying you can't believe everything you read.

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-22at23537PM.png

 

It's interesting to note that Regina says they "are good," but never explicitly denies a break-up. 

So did they or didn't they?  And we're thinking the "please don't believe everthing you read" line might refer to Malcolm "not feeling it anymore" OR the part about him asking her and her son to move out of his home. 

Though she's not giving us specific details about what's happening, we think it's safe to assume that where there's smoke....there's fire. We'll keep you posted.....

Beyonce just posted the new trailer to the new animated film, EPIC, where she stars as Queen Tara.  Check it inside, plus news about an alleged Houston-style remix of "Bow Down" possibly on the way....

 

Hitting theaters May 24th, Beyonce, Amanda Seyfried and more are starring as the voices of the animates film EPIC.  The fairytale depicts a modern day Thumbelina in a secret world, and Beyonce plays the wise Mother Nature figure.  The synopsis:

Epic is a 3D CG action-adventure comedy that reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of Ice Age and Rio, Epic tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When a teen age girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world...and ours.

Here's the newest trailer that just came out today:

 

In other Bey news, chick is ignoring the negative criticism about her "Bow Down" promo track and allegedly taking it one step further.  MTV News reports that according to "Houston reporter" Isaiah Carey, the H-Town native is tapping classic and new Texas rappers for the remix.

Scarface, Willie D., Slim Thug, Kirko Bangz, Lil KeKe and Bun B were all named to make an appearance on the already southern dipped track.  And that ish will be a conversation starter at the very least.

Apparently, Isaiah said he was going to keep it a secret--as one of the listed rappers spilled the beans to him--until he started to see pics from their studio sessions popping up on Twitter.  Still, Bey's camp hasn't confirmed or denied the remix.

What y'all know about them Texas boys.....

Lil Wayne just dropped a new "Rich As F*ck" video with 2 Chainz to promote his new album.  And money, cars and clothes aren't the only thing Soulja Boy's been posting on his Instagram.  Find out why thousands of his fans are dragging him on his social network inside..

 

As Lil Wayne gears up to drop his I Am Not A Human Being II album next Tuesday, he dropped the video for his "Rich As F*ck" single featuring 2 Chainz.  And yes, it's exactly what you would expect.  Model chicks driving fast cars with Weezy in the passenger side, the fellas jumping around talking about how heavy their pockets and gold are, and a tiger.

Check out the Parris-directed vid above.

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-22at62716PM_zpsbe57a24c.png

And speaking of Weezy, after his reported near fatal codeine overdose last week, Soulja Boy posted some photos that pissed off his own fans.

The "Crank That" rapper uses his Instagram as his personal diary of sneakers, clothes, shots of his mansion and condo and cash.  And he recently posted pics of his weed....and his codeine.

Thousands of his fans have been dragging him over being so irresponsible to promote something that obviously is horrible for you.  One of his fans wrote:

Somehow in his brain, he thinks that makes him cool..In reality, it's obvious (to me) that drug users are Sad and Weak! I hope no one else has to die a senseless death...but we all know that's not possible! God-Speed to you and all the others playing Russian Roulette with their lives!

And plenty of people chimed in with dogging him out (amongst the people who oddly supported his habit):

CALL THE COPS: Evelyn Lozada Files Cease & Desist On Chad's Harrassment + Gucci Mane Allegedly Assaults Soldier...Has Warrant For Arrest!

More drama on the Evelyn Lozada & Chad Johnson divorce front.  After Chad fired off those hate-filled tweets to Ev's PR manager a few days ago, the "BBW" star is now firing off cease and desist letter.  Plus, rapper Gucci Mane allegedly attacked a soldier...and he's in big trouble...

We reported this past Thursday that Chad Johnson took to Twitter to blast off on his ex-fe Evelyn Lozada and her PR manager, Danika Berry.  In a series of tweets, he exposed Ev for allegedly sleeping with the Young Money crew to nab her Cash Money deal, and also accused her of cheating on him while they were together.

Now, Ev has sent a cease & desist letter to Chad, via her legal team, to get him to stop harassing her.  TMZ reports that Ev will file a restraining order if he doesn't stop. 

And by the way, Chad has been trying to end his probation early (after that domestic violence incident with Ev a while back).  And he's due in court on Monday for a hearing.  We're pretty sure this new situation will be brought up....and that won't be a good look.

 

 photo gucci1_zps6a93d457.jpg

And in other legal drama, Gucci Mane's big weekend for the premiere of his new movie Spring Breakers won't be ending well it seems.  The Atlanta Police Department has now issued a warrant for the rapper's arrest for him allegedly assaulting a soldier.

WSBTV reports that a U.S. soldier told them he was simply asking Gucci for a picture at a party Friday night, when the rapper flipped out and hit him over the head with a champagne bottle.  Here's the story:

Photos show cuts to the soldier's head after he said Radric Davis, whose stage name is Gucci Mane, hit him with a champagne bottle last Friday night.

The soldier, who asked only to be called by his first name, James, told Viteri he asked a security guard in the VIP section of Harlem Nights on Courtland Street in Atlanta, if he could get a photo with the rapper.

"I'm in the military. I wanted to get a picture with Gucci Mane, is it OK?" James said he asked the security guard. "I was speaking to the security guard, and Gucci Mane hit me in the head with a bottle."

James, who serves in the Army, returned home from Afghanistan in October. Last Friday was his first trip to Atlanta with friends to celebrate his birthday. He said he was stunned when Davis reacted violently to his request.

"And as I looked at him in the shock of why, one of his friends hit me in the side of my face," James told Viteri.

James said he went to Grady Memorial Hospital by ambulance where his injury required 10 stitches.

Soldier James says he doesn't want this to happen to anyone other fan simply approaching Gucci for a pic.  And Lt. Jeff Cantin of the Atlanta Police Department confirms they have issued a warrant for Gucci's arrest on an aggravated assault charge.

After Gucci pushed a woman out of a moving car back in 2011, his record isn't so clean.  Get it together Gooch.

Recently, Tamar Braxton's best friend Tameka "Tiny" Harris dropped some secret baby news about Tay Tay.  And Tamar has yet to speak on it.  Check it inside...

While Tiny was chatting away with HipHollywood.com about her girl Tamar's pregnancy, she claimed she wouldn't give anything away about the baby.  But the bestie was beaming with so much happiness that she let the se of the baby slip.  And got flustered throughout the rest of the interview once she realized what she did. 

“I’ve seen HIS little face, she has a 4D picture," Tiny said.

Whoopsie!  Interestingly, neither Tamar nor Tiny have commented about it.  So it looks like a bouncing baby boy will be popping up soon.

Tay, who is reportedly in her last trimester, also just did a photoshoot with Rob Ector in Atlanta.  And we're hoping it's one that shows off that baby bump.  The photog tweeted:

Just wrapped shoot with @TamarBraxtonHer!! The whole squad killed it!

Can't wait!

As Kelly Rowland gears up for her upcoming fourth studio album, Talk A Good Game, she's been hammering away tracks in the studio.  And last night, she spent the evening in a Cali studio with Akon, Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose and super producer Pharrell.  Wonder what they're all cooking up...

The "Kisses Down Low" singer is dropping the album later this year.

Meanwhile, Amber Rose stirred up a bit of controversy last night with the above pic...that she soon after deleted.  Apparently, her fans thought she had cuts and bruises around her lips (which look swollen) and her eyes.  And questions flew about if she got hit, got into a fight, or maybe was suffering from Botox bruises. 

Who knows.  She deleted that one but left up the ones with her and Wiz chillin' backstage at Jay Leno recently:

New mom Amber said she was a huge fan of "Splash" star Louie Anderson's cartoon.  So they all snapped a pic backstage.  Fun times.

Rihanna made a stop at Barrington High School near Chicago yesterday, just hours ahead of her show at the United Center for her Diamonds World Tour.  And even though she was there to congratulate the students on winning her DIMAONDS video contest, chick showed up over four hours late to the party....

 photo article-2297876-18DEEE4E000005DC-798_634x610_zps45c2162b.jpg

To be fair, anyone who's been to Chi-Town knows Chicago traffic is an absolute beast.  Rihanna learned this the hard way yesterday as she showed up to the winners of her Diamonds video contest, Barrington High School, four and a half hours late.

Rih Rih said she was determined to make it there to congratulate the kids on producing the best fan video using charitable acts as their theme.  And she even Instagrammed a pic of the horrible traffic.

But after she arrived well after 5p (the event was scheduled for 1p), the kids who didn't already give up hope and leave were treated to 12 minutes of Rih's presence.  And they went nuts when she arrived.

 photo BGDCPZvCQAAMtPLjpg_large_zps7700db57.jpg photo normal_0005_zpsee176551.jpg

Great cause though still.  Check out a cute video below of Rih greeting all the kids...and chasing one little boy for a kiss:

P.S.  Rih's opener A$AP Rocky must have caught her flu bug, because dude cancelled his performances both last night in Chicago and also previously in Detroit.

On Friday, reports hit the net that Torrei Hart and Kevin Hart have finalized their split...and the division of assets.  Ex-wife and comedienne Torrei is now telling TheYBF.com exclusively that the reports were wrong, there was NO pre-nup.  And she tells us all about the marital and divorce drama she's leaving in the past...

Yesterday's report from TMZ stated that Torrei received $175,000 and a car and jewelry in the divorce settlement with comedian Kevin Hart, all based on their supposed pre-nup.  Now, Torrei exclusively tells TheYBF.com that report was wrong.  She says there was absolutely NO pre-nup.  The court's decision on assets was mostly based on Torrei ending the courtroom battle.

Torrei tells us she simply ended the messy proceedings.  So messy that she physically attacked Kevin's divorce lawyer last year (said lawyer is interestingly now Torrei's attorney).

The ex-Mrs. Hart says during their almost 10 years of marriage, she helped Kevin (who now has a model girlfriend named Eniko) build his empire into what it is today, like many first wives do.  She claims that despite the Laugh At My Pain comic constantly spinning the divorce his way, she has decided to focus on her new career and the couple's two kids, Heaven& Hendrix.

Here's the REAL deal on what went down, according to our exclusive chat with the comedienne.

Torrei on the Marriage & Legal Woes: There was no pre-nuptial agreement. Kevin and I have known each other ever since we were very young, and we genuinely loved each other. I knew Kevin when we both had very little. We built our love, our marriage, our family, and the Hart Empire from scratch together.

On attacking Attorney Debra Opri: Many news outlets have chosen to spin Kevin and I’s divorce proceedings in many ways. The truth of the matter is, yes I did attack Debra Opri and I am unapologetic for my actions. No one wants to be painted falsely in a negative light. With the immense amount of legal and emotional pressure that I was under, I think almost anyone can understand. A majority of the court’s final decision came from me simply being tired of going to court and fighting battles over money and material things. I’m a hardworking black woman; I know how to hold my own. In the end, the legal drama and the money drama were not worth it. Ironically, Debra Opri, is my attorney now, and we are close acquaintances.

On Kevin Hart: Kevin is a great father to both of our beautiful children. Like all marriages, we’ve been through a lot together. At the end of the day, Kevin knows the truth. He knows that I was the strong woman by his side every step of the way. I am nowhere near perfect, and I can admit that I have flaws, but he knows what I’ve had to endure over the last several years. Although things have been up and down, Kevin and I are actually really good friends. I recently had a yacht birthday party (pictured above), and Kevin paid for everything. We have children together, and our goal is to make sure that we provide a nurturing environment for them at all costs.

On Future Plans: I am, and always have been in full work mode. I recently Executive Produced and acted a short film titled “Victim of Circumstance,” which is being submitted to several film festivals. I also create sketch comedy on my YouTube channel“PrettyFunnyFish” with my partner Simone Shepherd. Moreover, I plan on going full speed ahead into comedic, as well as, dramatic acting. I am no stranger to entertainment, and I know what it takes to be successful in this industry. I am currently in talks with a few networks and have some really big things coming down the pipeline that I am not at liberty to disclose as of yet…but The YBF will be the first to know as soon as I have the green light from my team to speak on it!

In a public statement yesterday via her PR rep, Torrei also revealed she isn't focusing on the cheating Kevin did during their marriage, because she's moving forward with the career she says he didn't allow her to have:

"I could go into detail about extra-marital affairs, and other problems that many American couples have, but I won’t. Some who’ve walked in these shoes would boast, 'I’ve lived the Diary of a Mad Black Woman… almost scene by scene,' but I won’t.

I am not disheartened by the way things have turned out. It is no surprise to me. Kevin has chosen to be very vocal with his spin on his affairs and life choices."

And she ended with a bit of positivity:

"Although a position of honor, I always knew I was destined to do & be more than the house-wife Kevin allowed me to be. I know the dreams and plans God has for me....

I, Torrei Hart, will be a pillar for hundreds of thousands of women who are afraid to live life after life with their wealthy and/or powerful husbands. Women are too often defined by the pocket-size of their “pocket-sized” husbands. We are desperate for more positive role-models who are living examples of women who work and hold our own while we are yet “good help” to a grateful husband."

So, there you have it.

Fantasia Reveals She's No Longer With Antwaun, Says "He Learned To Not Play With People's Hearts"

Fantasia's covering the upcoming April 2013 issue of Sister 2 Sister.  And she dropped a couple nuggets about her and Antwaun Cook splitting, and how he learned his lesson.  Excerpts inside....

 

Looks like Fanny's smartened up afterall.  The "Lose To Win" singer opened up to Jamie Foster Brown of S2S about ending the relationship with her then married baby's daddy Antwaun and now focusing on herself and her kids.

On the status of her and Antwaun's relationship

Me and Antwaun, as of now, we are not together. I think it’s the best thing for us all. We had to learn how to become friends again. There was so much stuff that came out. We were all hurt along the way. There’s trust issues. There’s just a lot of stuff that kinda got put in the mix. And I, at one point, I wanted to make everybody else happy. To love him, to make sure Zion was okay, to make sure everything—but I had to get to a place where I had to learn how to love Fantasia. I never did that, Jamie. And if I don’t love myself, then I can’t be in a relationship.

On the lessons she feels he’s learned
He’ll say, “I learned that you can’t play with people’s hearts.” I think every man gets to a place of knowing that they wanna be faithful and they wanna be good fathers and good husbands and good boyfriends… Things play out for you to say, okay, it’s time for me to man up or it’s time for me to woman up. I think we both have a lot of regrets of how things just happened; it all happened so fast. I just went full-speed ahead and that’s why I was tellin’ you now. I think out everything before I do it. Everything.

The full interview will be inside the issue, on stands now.

NON-SHOCKING FOOLERY: Joseline & Stevie J BACK ON....Participate In WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT Event

We said it would take a week...but they lasted a little bit longer.  Two weeks after Joseline blasted Stevie J (again) for having STDs, a broke bank account and everything else in between, the twosome are back together.  So much for firing him as her manager....

This weekend in North Carolina, "Love & Hip Hop ATL"'s favorite dysfunctional couple, Joseline Hernandez & Stevie J, made their way to Raleigh, NC together. 

Joseline swore up and down earlier this month that she fired Stevie J as her manager for good, called him out for all his disgusting behavior, accused him of having sex with men, diseases, and an empty bank account.  And as they have in the past, they seem to have gotten back together.  We guess Stevie's public threats to Joseline about what would happen if she left changed chick's mind.

Break ups to make ups are one thing, but your girl PUBLICLY blasting you about many things and both of you acting like it never happened...ain't hot.  Both parties look special in the end, but if they like it....

Jos and Stevie posted pics from Stevie's paid appearance at the Star Bar in Raleigh last night.  It was the official afterparty for the Women's Empowerment Event in the city, which Stevie also participated in.

We're not sure how exactly Stevie and his bus are about to empower women or why anyone thought it would be a fabulous idea to have him represent their movement.  Yet and still, he was part of the event along with Fantasia and Kandi Burruss:

Sigh.

Stevie & Jos snapped pics together back at their hotel.  We guess we'll see everything play out on the new season of "LAHH ATL."
