Hello blondie!  Gabrielle Union showed off her new blonde hair and sparkling skin in a red dress walking into the set of Chris Rock's new film, "The Untitled Chris Rock Project" in New York City today.

The "Being Mary Jane" actress spent much of this month over in China with her man Dwyane Wade as he promoted his new sneaker.  So now, it's back to business for the YBF chick.  Her BET show starts January 2014.

Romany Malco also posted a pic of himself with his Think Like A Man Too co-star Gabby & Chris on the set.  This should be intresting...

Winnie actress J-Hud kept it cute and casual in a grey sweater and skinny jeans today as she filmed her new Weight Watchers commercial also in NYC today:

Cute.  She and her fiance David are staying mum about their upcoming wedding plans, but they're def still spending time -- and documenting it on Instagram -- as a cute lil family with their baby boy David, Jr.

Denzel Washington his the red carpet of his movie premiere for 2 Guns tonight at the SVA Theater in New York City.  Check out who came out to support the action flick inside...

Both Denzy and his wife Pauletta were looking younger than ever as they hit the carpet for the premiere of his brand new movie with Mark Wahlberg (in theaters August 2nd) 2 Guns.

Not sure what they've been up to, but we're sure it has lots to do with major Euro vacays and a newly shaven head.  Denzel, who turns 60 this December, hit the carpet in all black and New Balance sneakers.  And his wife Pauletta kept it peachy in a flirty dress and matching Giuseppes.

Denzel & Mark's co-star, Paula Patton, was spotted leaving the Gramercy Hotel tonight on her way to the premiere.  She's joining Denzel for their second movie together after they co-starred in the 2006 flick Deja Vu.

And her hubby Robin Thicke wasn't far behind.

Paula keeping it glam--and seemingly sober--in her black & white gown on the carpet:

E! News correspondent Alicia Quarrels hit the carpet before the premiere looking fab.

And 50 Cent is out and about after his domestic violence drama.  Wonder what's going to happen with all that.

Rapper Soulja Boy celebrated his 23rd over the weekend with long time "friend" Diamond.  See how they partied inside and hear what Miss Mykie said about leaving "106 & Park". 

Over the weekend, rapper Soulja Boy celebrate his 23rd birthday in Los Angeles at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood.  His friend and former girlfriend Diamond was there to celebrate him...and it looks like that might be back together.  The rapstess also popped up on a few of his Instagram pics.  

Soulja put on in his signature gold chains and a gold and black shirt by Golden Hanger for the function.

And when he wasn't eating a slice of his Louis Vuitton cake (of COURSE he had an LV cake), the rapper entertained the crowd with his new "Versace" remix, “Crank That” and “Turn My Swag On”. Fans should expect to get a new album from the Soulja in 2014.  In case you were waiting...

And in tv news.....

Former "106 & Park" host Miss Mykie spoke to Ebony.com about her departure from the show and her next steps. When asked about leaving the show (or getting fired) and her feelings towards BET, she said, 

"It’s all love with BET and it will always be. I support BET and they support me 100 percent with my future endeavors. We communicated about what was going on. It’s the TV and entertainment world and you have to prepare yourself for transitions that may come. Change is inevitable. I have grown to understand that it’s just a part of life. It allows you to learn more about yourself. It can be scary or it can be exciting, and whether you like the situation or not you have to keep it moving and make the best of it."

So what's next for Miss Mykie?  She told Ebony that she's using the large social media following she's gained to launch the first ever talkshow on Instagram! She and her management team iYO Visuals are using the platform's 15-sec video clips to highlight her personality and fresh take on pop culture.

“I fell in love. I was like ‘OMG this is so innovative and creative,’” she says. “I was sold after I saw how professional it was. Everyone already has their own show on YouTube, blogs and websites, but nobody has done it on Instagram.”

But the talkshow isn't the only thing Miss Mykie has in works. The budding rapstress also announced a new single that features rapper and singer Future, and she has set her sights on becoming an actress.

Good luck!

Nicki Minaj& DJ Khaled show why that publicity stunt of a proposal was just that....publicity....as their new song "I Wanna Be With You" hits the internet streets today.  Check out Khaled's newest track inside, plus Nicki laughing off his marriage proposal....

"I Wanna Be With You" is Khaled's newest single off his upcoming Suffering From Success album (out Spetember 24th).  He tapped Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross & Future for the track.  And now, we can see why Khaled pulled that 10 carat diamond ring out of his pocket and "proposed" to Nicki on video.  It's all to pub the feel of the song.

Nicki hit up Funkmaster Flex's show last night to say she never took "her brother" Khaled seriously and it was all just his way of pubbing the track:

“I was shocked just like the rest of the world and I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world ’cause Khaled is a master at what he does.  It was just another way for him to kinda give the world a glimpse on the feeling of this record.”

“Khaled is my brother and Khaled was not serious with that damn proposal, ya’ll. Please let it go. He was kidding.  He’s not attracted to me, he doesn’t like me. We’re brother and sister.”

We figured.  Khaled still hit up DJ Felli Fel on Power 106 afterwards and claimed that he wasn't giving up because she could say yes next year.  he seemed serious, but we dont believe him.

And the track is exactly what you would expect. Khaled adlibs Kirk Franklin-style, Future brings his most basic repetitive auto tuned "flow" to create a "chorus," Nicki spits about her million dollar punani, and Ricky closes it out with a few bars about his riches. Check it below:

"Top Model" alum Yaya Alafia (formerly Dacosta) walked the red carpet for her new film Lee Daniels' 'The Butler recently, where she showed off her baby bump. Who knew?! See the fab pics inside.....

Yaya Alfia, a season three runner-up for "ANTM" (she was one of our faves but was beaten out by Eva Marcille), walked the red carpet for her latest film, Lee Daniels' The Butler, at last night's red carpet screening at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia yesterday.

Since "ANTM", Yaya has gone on to create a nice career for herself.  In addtion to marrying Joshua Bee Alafia last year, the mom-to-be has starred in huge films like Tron and the tv series "Ugly Betty" and "All My Children."

Yaya, who's playing the role of Carol Hammie in the film, joked around on the red carpet with her co-star Cuba Gooding Jr, and director Lee Daniels.

We're sure Lee was happy to put the legal battle around the film's name behind him so he could focus on what he does best.....make provocatve films.   Lee Daniels' The Butler hits theaters August 16th.

And congrats to YaYa!

This indeed is not DMX's week.  After going through trials, jail stints and legal battles for several years, he's filing for bankruptcy.  Find out what his rep had to say inside...

X's rep Domenik Nati -- the same person who claimed X was NOT under the influence a few days ago despite him passing out in the back of the police car minutes after the arrest -- put out a statement today to explain why the raper is filing for bankruptcy.  And the rep says it's all because of poor financial management by previous representation.  Yes, he really blamed OTHERS & financial management:

"DMX's financial strains have been inhibiting his career for several years. Poor financial management by prior representation have caused him to be ineligible to retain a passport. The purpose of this bankruptcy filing is for reorganization so he can perform for his fans oversees. We are currently planning a tour in Europe and Africa for the fall of 2013."

We guess the umpteen arrests and lawyers he had to pay had zero to do with his lack of funds.  Like we said before, we hope X receives the help he needs and rids himself of the enablers.

With her very smokey eyes and pursed pink lips, "ANTM" host and creator Tyra Banks was among the celebs spotted at the Television Critic Association's Summer Press Tour - CBS/CW/Showtime Party in Beverly Hills.  At a first look, chick looked a bit vampy and scary.  Like she woke up with running eye makeup and decided to make it a look.  But it was actually done on purpose.  And....maybe it works for her. 

Maybe.  For the event, a tousled Tyra wore a a black curve hugging lace dress, Walter Steiger Fall 2013 pumps and tassel earrings.

Solange Knowles took her eclectic personality to a whole new level yesterday as she performed a secret concert in a secret location--a Brooklyn laundromat.  Pics and video inside, plus Tamar Braxton rocking out at her own Love & War album showcase in L.A.

Solange popped up at the Atlantis Super Wash Center in BK last night to rock out for a secret concert for FADER mag & vitaminwater's #uncapped series.  The style goddess--who never fails to impress-rocked a Clover Canyon Resort 2014 look comprised of diamond print short shorts and a matching print & striped design sweater, all paired with multi-colored shoes by Preen.

Why a laundromat you ask?  We're sure Solo said 'Why not?'  It's so her though isn't it?  She said once she took the stage-o-washing machines, "This laundromat really has me wanting to be a drama queen tonight, so excuse my theatrics.”  Here's her full opening with "Bad Girls":

The "True" singer also belted out hits like "T.O.N.Y.", "Losing You" and even covered Nivea's "Laundromat."  How appropriate.  Check out a few videos below.  Chick even climbs on top of the washing machines.  Gotta love her:

You know at least one person was pissed their laundry day was totally f'd up. 

The FADER covergirl also did an interview with Miss Info afterwards in another super fab look with Nicholas Kirkwood for Peter Pilotto shoes:

And over in L.A.:

Tamar Braxton threw on her sparkly blouse and houndstooth hotpants and thigh high boots to rock her Love & War album showcase.  It was sponsored by Myx Moscato at the Emerson Theatre in Holllywood last night, and she posted a proud pic of her Reve Boutique look for the night:

Tamar performed all the tracks off the upcoming album (out September 3rd), two of which are "Hot Sugar" (yep, it made the cut) and one of our fave songs of the summer, "The One." Check out a couple short clips below:

The busy new mom and co-host of "The Real" is also gearing up for her upcoming tour with John Legend kicking off this October.  Nice!

Lance Gross, Lauren London, Talib Kweli and Jordin Sparks are among the YBF celebs who've joined an interactive campaign with Wells Fargo bank displaying "The Kinsey Collection: Shared Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey - Where Art and History Intersect."

Lisa Frison, The Kinsey Collection's African American segment manager, spoke about the campaign saying,

“Wells Fargo’s primary goal in collaborating with the Kinsey family to bring this collection to audiences across the country was to create an opportunity for others to engage in dialogue around the rich history of African Americans.

The Untold Stories campaign is an exciting extension of this partnership, and an innovative way to continue the discussion about the significant contributions of African Americans.”

The campaign is a great opportunity learn something new or revisit some great stories about the African American experience. 

Watch Lance Gross tell the stories of the first African American men who served as US congressmen: 

Watch Lauren London as she speaks on the importance of speaking up during moments of injustice:

The entire series (also featuring Talib Kweli and Jordin Sparks) can be viewed online on Wells Fargo's YouTube channel.

"The Voice" correspondent Christina Milian posed for several pics.

"The Real" host Adrienne Bailon has also joined the campaign.  Cute look.

Fab chicks are at work these days.  Paula Patton rocked a sexy white mesh paneled dress while toting her 3-year-old son Julian along in NYC today.  Plus, Tracee Ellis Ross is giving us all kinds of diva life in her new spread for Paris' Coveteur magazine where she also shows off her envious closet.

Pics inside...

While leaving the Gramercy Park Hotel today in New York, Paula Patton was spotted on mommy duty, in a body con dress and heels, bringing a Beatles-loving Julian to her taping of "Jimmy Fallon."

The 2 Guns actress picked up her baby boy, snapped him into his car seat, and kept it moving on her busy day of promo.  Last night, she rocked a gorgeous Basil Soda gown for the big premiere.  Looks like she's making some good fashion choices this time around.

And speaking of pretty ladies:

Actress and blogger Tracee Ellis Ross gave us fabness in her brand new shoot for Coveteur magazine.  The Euro-mag focuses on fashion & luxeness, and seeing that she's the daughter of a true diva who embodies all that, it's only right we get Tracee in this type of spread.

Diana Ross' daughter tells the mag:

“I was spoiled when I worked in the magazine world. Fashion closets are heaven and I seem to model my organization after a fashion closet,” Ross revealed. Each shoe was strategically arranged in an editor-approved fashion and, trust us, she knows exactly where everything came from; don’t even try to test her. “Open any of my drawers and you will think you are in a store.”

Ugh, we so love that.  The mag also revealed Tracee had the best vintage collection they had ever seen.  And we so believe it.

For the shoot she did everything from button ups and jeans to full out diva gowns embroidered with floral patterns and complete with the perfect hat piece.

Tracee said about her closet (pictured above):

I go through phases: a ring phase, earring phase, no jewelry phase. But, I always love my gold “Tracee” door Knockers. And I love, as you can tell, statement pieces.

Check out more pics over at Coveteur.

Amber Rose has posted a few new pics of her little rose bud, and this time we get to see a little more of the cutie. See "Muva Rosebud" and her son Sebastian inside....

Amber Rose took a dip in the pool with her son Sebastian, and shared the pics via Instagram.  We still haven't seen Bash's whole face, but he sure looks like a cutie pie.

Amber posted the summery pics saying, "Munchie & Mommy Time".

The twosome even took a family trip to the aquarium recently.  "Took Bashalini and my Lil brothers to the aquarium today. Bash liked the barracudas". We have a feeling Bash is going to grow up loving the water.  But hating those cameras....

Well HELLO Logan!  Tamar Braxton showed off her & hubby Vince's first child in the brand new issue of Us Weekly that hit stands today.  Get a peek inside at the newest Braxton (and Herbert) baby, plus Tamar's honest reveal on "GMA" this morning about feeling unattached to Logan immediately after having him...

Logan Herbert's big reveal is being done in the only way we would expect from Tamar & Vince--a three page spread in a magazine.

The family appears in this week's issue of Us Weekly (pictured above) and we get to see just who little Logan looks like....we see his daddy Vince in the lips and his mom Tamar elsewhere.  How cute!

Tamar also appeared on "GMA" this morning to give the real on how many brand new moms REALLY feel immediately after giving birth.  It wasn't all roses & rainbows and baby powder.  Tamar dished that she felt unattached at first, and wondered if God had made a mistake by making her Logan's mother. 

"I loved him, you know.  But I wasn't like 'oh, gosh, yes my baby, ooh,' you know. It wasn't that. It was more like what do I do now, you know?
You're in shock....And you know, it took me a few days to really, like, come to terms with the fact that I am a mom and this is my baby."

And it didn't help that the breastfeeding and diaper changes didn't happen as expected.

"Well you know, I was questioning my motherhood. … Like, is this a mistake that God made? Or like, is this something that I need to hand over to my husband because he and the baby connected instantly. And I wanted that. And I guess I was a little jealous, pretty much. Am I being really honest here? I guess I am."

She continued about not feeling like the "right" mother:

"I guess in a sense I did feel unattached because you know, I really, really wanted to connect with him because I wanted to breast-feed. And when he didn't latch on and when I couldn't produce milk I just felt like, 'Is this the wrong child?' You know what I mean? 'Am I the wrong mother?'"

But 2 months later, Tamar's riding high in the mommy saddle and overcame all the doubts:

"When he finally latched on I felt like he got me and I got him and this was all meant to be....I am very happy. I feel complete … he is the best thing that ever happened to me."

Love her testimony.   Check out her "GMA" interview with more pics of Logan below:

Tamar will also be bringing Logan on "The Real" today, so be sure to TUNE IN!  Check your local listings HERE.

He may be laying the other side of the streets as a Detective on "Law & Order: SVU" for the several years now, but Ice-T is telling folks not to get it twisted.  He's still in shape enough to whoop any necessary ass.  Check out his selfie we're sure was inspired by his exhibitionistesque wife CoCo inside...

Apparently, Ice-T has been having folks talking sideways at him on Twitter.  So to remind everyone of his capabilities, despite being 55-years-old now, the former rapper posted a blurry pic of his buffness. 

He said, "This morning: MFs popin shit... 55yrs old. 'Don't sleep on the old cats.'"

We assume that was a warning to all of you who thought Ice went soft.

Robin Thicke stopped by Power 105 this morning to promote his upcoming album and talk about his breakout success.  Listen to the interview inside....

The summer of 2013 is clearly all about Robin Thicke.  The blue-eyed soul crooner appeared on Power 105.1 where he discussed his recent success and why he wants the world to see wife Paula Patton's ta-tas.  Here are the highlights:

On the "rapey" controversy of "Blurred Lines" 

Pharrell and I would have never gone in the studio to make a song that's deragatory.  We're saying "That Man is Not Your Maker" and that a woman is as powerful as a man at all times.  And they don't need him to define her."

On "Blurred Lines" success:

The biggest thing I think is ]the success] internationally.  I never had any love internationally.  Being number one in like 80 countries,  I think the biggest thing in America is that now White people are trying to claim me.

On sex with Paula:

Sometimes she likes to play groupie and say, "I wanna do it to your music."  [We're SO not surprised...]

On jealousy:

We both get jealous because we're madly in love.  

On wether Paula was tipsy at the BET awards:

She wanted to go out there and do something different.  That's what we do at the house....we try to make sure something memorable happen. [So the answer is....?]

On Paula's nude scene with Denzel Washington int he upcoming movie "2 Guns":

In her new movie "Two Guns" she shows her boobs.  My first response was go for it. 'Cause we're not 21 anymore ad the world should see them at least once.  Her and I have been through so much together. These are the small details of our life.

One thing about Robin is he's totally honest....ALL the time.  Gotta love him.

Singer Kelly Rowland covers the latest of ESSENCE Magazine.  Find out what she said about learning to trust herself and being confident inside......

For the latest issue of ESSENCE Magazine, singers, reality tv show judge and Jaguar spokeswoman Kelly Rowland lands on the cover.  And she's glamming it up for the fall.

The flawless Kelly talks about completing her most soul-baring album to date, Talk A Good Game, and snagging a seat at the judge’s table on the American version of the reality competition show The X Factor. She also opened up in the issue about coming into her own, what she’s learned from the industry, her beau (who she notes is quite the cutie!) and how she finally found her own voice.

On Beyonce and the life she wants for herself:

“For a long time I wasn’t happy, but that had nothing to do with Beyoncé. That had to do with me trying to get my life in order and make better decisions for myself. I’m seeing all these wonderful things happen for her and I am happy for her. But I want a path. I want things to pop off for me, too. Not on her level but whatever my level is supposed to be.”

On finding her strength through boxing:

“I see the beauty in boxing...It teaches me strength, physically but mostly mentally. I had to learn my strength, because for so long I could have been tougher than I was.”

On why she was afraid to share her feelings:

“’....cause I didn’t want anybody to judge me. But now I don’t care, Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won’t even count, ‘cause the only person who can judge is God.”

Kelly's issue hits stands August 9.

Evan Ross has been parading his new boo Ashlee Simpson around for the world to see he's moved on from his ex.  Check out the twosome boo'd up in NYC for Ashlee's sister Jessica's Fall campaign launch, plus Kelis doing her out in L.A.

Actor Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson -- who was rocking a Jessica Simpson dress -- attended the launch of the Jessica Simpson Fall 2013 Campaign hosted by Ashlee at Above Allen in NYC yesterday.

We kinda thought these two were extremely awkward together, but maybe that's why they might work.

Ashlee, who used to be married to rocker Pete Wentz and they have a baby boy together, also had a romantic lunch date at Gemma before the event. The couple also dined at the east village restaurant and were spotted holding hands and kissing at their table, before hurrying to their car:

Evan keeps himself a chick doesn't he?

Meanwhile, over in L.A., singer Kelis Rogers was spotted at the Sayers Nightclub in Hollywood with friends last night:
 

She rocked a quirky mustache sweater, a Chanel bag and her glittery loafers for the occasion:

She also recently had a big waterpark adventures birthday party in Cali for her (and Nas') son Knight.  Cute!

Dwyane Wade is being forced by the court to hand over his two boys, Zaire& Zion, to their mother Siohvaughn Wade....for visitation.  Sounds like he didn't trust sending them to moms with her latest stints and all.

Deets inside, plus what Tatyana Ali says about those rumors about her and her crush, Drake....

Miami Heat champ Dwyane Wade's been almost all his off-season time with his two sons (pictured above this past weekend on Daddy-Son day).  But that daddy-son time is about to be interrupted.

Remember earlier this month when Siohvaughn hit the streets of downtown Chicago looking like a homeless person and holding up signs claiming she was, in fact, homeless because her NBA ex-husband stole her life from under her? 

Well, Dwyane obviously didn't take kindly to it.  So he took away her visitation rights last week by not delivering the boys to her as scheduled.  According to the custody docs, Sioh gets the boys every other weekend, and two weeks during the summer.

But last week, D had his lawyers filed an emergency suspension on visitation (we're sure the antics above had everything to do with that).  And they requested that she get a psychological evaluation for her "anger management issues."  This is where we would typically say cheating can indeed drive a woman crazy and unable to "manage her anger," but we digress.

According to Gossip Extra, the 3-hour hearing took place today in Miami--with neither Dwyane nor Sioh present.  And the judge ordered him to hand over the boys.

“They (Wade’s legal team) didn’t have a sufficient legal basis to justify the suspension of Siohvaughn’s visitation schedule,” said Lisa Macci, Funches’ attorney.

Sioh did spend Mother's Day a couple months ago with the boys (pics here), but now she has been ordered to continue to receive her rightful visitation.

And more good news for Sioh: She and Dwyane finalized a post-divorce financial settlement last week that gives her $5 milli and other niceties.

In other news, fab "Second Generation Wayans" star Tatyana Ali is revealing all about those Drake rumors on tomorrow's episode of "The Real."

Earlier this year, it was rumored that “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” former child star and rapper Drake hooked up and the story of their one night stand spread like wild fire.  We knew it wasn't true so that's why you didn't see it here...but Tatyana dished to the ladies about what really went down.

Tatyana said:

"No, it’s not true. I literally said in a Huffington Post article that one night stands were my ‘guilty pleasure’ but it was like a joke. All my answers on that thing were jokey. I said a lot of stupid, outlandish things and of course that’s the thing that gets picked up.

...he happened to be at the same club that I had my birthday party at, Supper Club. He got me a bottle of champagne or whatever, we took a picture and then the picture went everywhere."

Check out a clip below and tune in Thursday, August 1st to see what else she says about her dating life.

Singer Ciara's latest disc "Ciara" popped up a part of a GROUPON discount and it's outraged her fans!  Find out about the "Ciara" discount inside and get the deets on Ashanti's delayed album.

In case you haven't scooped up your copy of Ciara's latest album, it's now available as part of a package deal on GROUPON, which will also get you a copy of her greatest hits. While getting two cds for the price of one seems like it would be a good thing for the consumer, fans and critics of Cici are dragging her on social media.  

You'll recall that Ciara was on the receiving end of a lot of criticism after her Fantasy Ride disc was given away during a KFC promotion.....and now this!

When Ciara was first released, the "I'm Out" singer sold nearly 60,000 copies.  And the GROUPON deal should help the singer sell more albums and reach more people...so it's that a good thing right?

Of course, this is not in the same vein as Jay Z's $20 mill Samsung deal, and we indeed thought this was a joke when we saw it last night.  But, it's real.  And the promotion does actually make sense.  For her. Don't ya think?

In other music news...

Fans of Ashanti will have to wait a little longer to hear the NY chick's Braveheart disc.  The singer revealed that she's decided to delay releasing the album via Instagram saying, 

"Hey y'all! So Braveheart is NOT coming out today we have clearances & legalities to take of...It costs to be the boss!!! This CEO sh#t is Not A Game! Lol looking like September."

Braveheart is expected to feature Busta Rhymes, Meek Mill, French Montana, Keyshia Cole and R. Kelly.

The OMG Girlz just released their newest music video.  Check out the girls flaunting their dance moves to "Baddie", Nelly and co. in "Get Like Me", plus the brand new trailer for the new season of "Tamar & Vince"....

Nelly just dropped his video for "Get Like Me" featuring Pharrell & Nicki Minaj.  His upcoming M.O. album is due out this fall, so he's giving us a sleek new Colin Tilley-directed black & white vid to promote the track.

Trey Songz, T.I., Nelly Furtado, Future and Florida Georgia Line will also appear on Nelly's upcoming LP.  Peep the vid above.

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is still pushing her girl group "OMG Girlz" to be the next big stars in girl group-dom.  Her daughter Zonnique "Star" Pullins, along with Breaunna "Baby Doll" Womack and Bahja "Beauty" Rodriguez are prepping to release their new EP Labor Day weekend via T.I.'s Pretty Hustle label.

So the girls, who say they push the kiddies to stay in school and maintain positive images, just hit up "106 & Park" to drop off their brand new video for their single "Baddie."

Now that the girls are all grown and mostly out of high school they're giving out a little more grown up vibe, but they still keep the rainbow of colors and quirky fashions front and center.  Check out their twerk, rap & singing skills in their brand new video above.

And season 2 of "Tamar & Vince" is on the way (September 5th).  So the first look at what to expect has just hit the net. 

With a brand new third family member now sealing the show, we get to see how Vince Herbert & Tamar Braxton adjust to life with baby Logan, their marital woes, and more.  Check out the trailer above.  The shows airs next Thursday on WeTV at 9p ET.

Following a failed double-ring ceremony, Stevie J has been tweeting about "marriage" and hinting at a spinoff show.  Get the deets on what's going on and what went down inside the "LAHH ATL" reunion taping in New York before it airs! 

TheYBF.com was live on the scene for the taping of the LAHH ATL reunion and we saw first hand what went down with Stevie J, Joseline and Mimi Faust.

Fans of the show will recall that the season finale of "LAHH ATL" saw Stevie J presenting Joseline with a "lifetime partnership" ring and offering Mimi a "lifetime friendship" ring.  This, of course, led to Joseline attemping to assault Stevie....

At the reunion taping in NYC a few weeks ago, tensions were still high with several incidents between the ladies on Stevie J's bus and Mimi's new man Nikko.  At one point, a shoe was thrown and Joseline & mimi went at it.  Also, Stevie "made it rain" on Nikko, and we all know what that disrespect led to.

And though Stevie was still seen wearing the ring that Joseline gave him, we're not totally sure where their relationship stands (and he wouldn't comment on their engagement).  

However, thanks to a recent tweet, we suspect Stevie J has something up his sleeves....

And during a recent interview with Power 107.5, Stevie hinted that he and Joseline were in talks for a spin-off show. “Well, yeah, absolutely. We really appreciate the ‘Love and Hip Hop’ the franchise and you know, we’re definitely in discussions about the spin-off right now.” 

So...we're not sure what Mona Scott Young has in store for Stevie and Joseline but clearly, they aren't going anywhere.

In case you missed it, watch Stevie J give both Joseline and Mimi "rings":
