Another day, another kiss between Tyra Banks and...BOW WOW. Yep, Mr. 106 had a mini slob down session with the hot "ANTM" host on "106 & Park" last night. In case you missed it, we've got the full recap inside...

First things first--back in 2009, Bow Wow went on Tyra's talk show and locked lips with the super model for whatever reason.

Fast forward to last night, Ty Ty hit "106 & Park" to promote the upcoming cycle of "Top Model" with Bow and guest co-host Keshia Chante. And Ms. Banks' curvalicious ridiculously stunning presence had Bow Wow all in a tizzy. So when Tyra asked if they should remix their previous national tv kiss, she moved in, swung her legs on top of Bow, and went in. Well...

Check out the video above. That's one way to promote your show.

Bow also reacted to the "big kiss" backstage and said he truly feels like the HOTTEST host on tv. He and Tyra had already kissed on national tv on HER show a while back, and since she came to his house....and kicked off another kiss....he's going to ride his high horse. Check out what he had to say about it below:

Grammy-winning singer Cissy Houston has penned an open letter to her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina, expressing her love and letting her know that she will always love her.  Read the letter inside....

Previously, we told you that Bobbi Kristina had been upset with with her grandmother Cissy Houston for penning Remembering Whitney, and the two hadn't spoken in months.

Yesterday, Cissy released an open letter to Bobbi Kristina letting her know that she misses her and only wants what's best. She added that she's not excited about her marrying Nick Gordon, but would never speak in a negative manner about their relationship in public.  Here's her letter......

Dear Krissi,

I love you. My heart is full. I don’t know where to begin.
You may think I don’t understand you and what you’re feeling but remember, Baby, I lost my mom when I was just a child. So, I do know some of the sadness and loneliness of your life since your mom passed away.

Although I know her spirit is with you always, I cry with you and for you. I grieve with you and for you … for all of the days and nights you need to tell her something or ask her advice or just hear her voice … and she’s not there. For all of the times when you need to put your head in her lap or feel her arms around you and she’s not there … For the good and happy times you want to share with her; for the fun and laughter you enjoyed together, but she’s not there … for every day and every night you just miss her … I know.

She was your mom and she was my child and Krissi, I loved her too, more than you might imagine. I know you were upset that I wrote my book, “Remembering Whitney," but I hope one day you’ll read it and understand that I just wanted to let the world see some of My Nippy—the sweet, friendly, loving little girl with the extraordinary beauty and boundless talent, who grew into the superstar and musical icon the world saw. I want people to know—fans and critics and ordinary people alike—Nippy was a whole person, and like all of us, she was good and bad AND she was my joy!

Krissi, all I want for you is your good health and your happiness. I want you to have a good life that you can be proud of. Do I want you to get married in the near future? No, I don’t. I think you’re too young and I wish you’d wait. But that’s because I’m Grandma. I’m supposed to worry about you. I’m supposed to wonder If Nick or ANY man is good enough for you, My Baby’s Baby. I’m not angry with Nick and I don’t think, nor did I ever say anything hurtful about him to anyone. I have NEVER publicly commented on your personal life and I don’t intend to. So in the future when you read or hear that Cissy Houston said this or Cissy Houston said that, be confident in the knowledge that it isn’t true.

I try to believe that when your mother passed away the world decided that you belong to them as she did. I’m trying very hard to trust that people who make comments or offer their opinions about you are sincere in their desire for you to be happy. I can only hope they come to realize the best they can offer you is their prayers.

Krissi, as many years as I’ve lived and as many experiences as I’ve had I know I don’t have all of the answers. I do know this, Baby Girl: God’s got you and so do I.
With all my love,

Grandma

You can feel the pain and heartbreak in Cissy's words.  We hope that this will lead Bobbi Kristina to put their differences aside and reach out to her.

R&B crooner John Legend has released a visual for "Made To Love".  Watch the clip inside......

John Legend has released a visual for "Made To Love", the second single from his upcoming disc, Love In The Future (September 3rd).  The single features the vocals of New Zealand-born singer Kimbra , while the visual itself features nude couples covered in body paint.

Watch the video here:

Solange Knowles covers Net-A-Porter's "The Edit" where she chats about her globe-trotting music career, standing outside of Beyonce's shadow and how her son is inspired by her work. See the spread inside....

Inside e-shooping site Net-A-Porter.com's digital magazine, "The Edit", Ms. Knowles posed for The Vacation Issue on the Croatian coast while modeling some of the summer's hottest beachwear. In the accompanying article, Solange talks about her road to self-discovery and her career-defining performance at Glastonbury.

“After my show I went from stage to stage, and ended up listening to music until 3am. Everyone let me do my thing. They acknowledged me but never interrupted my experience, which I really appreciated.”

The True singer and style goddess also defines her personal style and talks about how her big sister Beyonce helped shape her as a performer.  Here are the highlights:

On her career:

“I’m having the time of my life. I have one of the best jobs in the world, and to be able to [perform] for an hour a day and make a career out of it, I’m incredibly humbled by it.”

On defining an identity outside of her sister Beyonce:

“I don’t think any part of myself as an artist has ever had a moment of…intentional execution. It’s all just been an evolution. I’ve been able to watch such an incredible performer as my sister close-up. It’s molded me. And now I’m letting my son watch me.”

On style:

"Style in anything is very important. It’s how we express our individuality, who we are and what we believe in. It’s all a reflection of who I am.”

On her & her entourage's hot style while performing at muddy Glastonbury

“That’s just because we’re Americans, and we didn’t know the real deal – Glastonbury is not Coachella! [Laughs] We did not know the proper dress code....By the third hour there, I was wanting Wellington boots! It was amazing.  It’s a really unique environment. Everyone was so incredibly spirited and happy to be there. I dropped my phone and someone came and gave it back to me later!”

On whether her brother-in-law Jay-Z or sis Bey (both who have performed at Glastonbury) gave her any pointers before performing

"You know, we actually never even talked about it. But both of them had such incredible, iconic Glastonbury performances – I was really proud of them. And I thought that Jay opening with [Oasis’ song] Wonderwall was pretty kick-ass!”

And for the fashion heads, check out Solange's photoshoot with all the hot designer info below:

Last night, a few of our faves hit up the 2013 Do Something Awards at Avalon in Hollywood.  These awards are all about recognizing those who are doing something to make a difference.  Check out the cast from our new fave show "Hit The Floor" on their hosting duties, plus Jennifer Hudson, J.Cole and more all making appearances.

Before they took the stage to rock out for the VH1 'Do Something' crowd, J-Hud and J.Cole hit the green carpet:

Jenny looked great in her animal print blouse, chain and shorts by Versace.  Not sure if those are stockings with these white shoes (y'all know how we feel about white pumps and white shoes)...but other than those things, we think she's keeping up her fabness these days.

Jenny also took home an award for the work she's done for the Julian D. King Foundation she founded in Chicago in honor of her slain nephew.  She became understandably emotional as she talked about providing much-needed supplies to school children from low-income families.

"I wasn't going to cry, but I'm a cry baby so I can't help it," Jenny said on the awards stage. "It just shows how much it warms my heart to see so many blessed and from our blessings in honor of my nephew...It's one thing to be a celebrity, but it means nothing if you can't help somebody."

Sweet!

J.Cole's still riding the success of his newest album Born Sinner.

The cast of VH1's newest scripted hit, "Hit The Floor", hit the carpet looking fab.  Logan Browning, Katherine Bailess, and Taylour Paige brought their Devil Girls camaraderie to the carpet to do some hosting duties.

Sexy look for Taylour.

And super cute look for Logan.

Fab chick and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" co-star Camille Winbush hit the carpet. 

Philanthropist Russell Simmons made his way to the Awards.

"Access Hollywood" correspondent Shaun Robinson hit the carpet in a sexy striped dress.

VH1's "Hollywood Exes" co-stars Sheree Fletcher & Shamicka Lawrence got fab on the carpet.

Ne-Yo made his way to the event.

And Queen Latifah received her award from LL Cool J.  By the way, she's making her way back to daytime TV this fall.  Will you be watching her new talk show?

Yesterday, current "106 & Park" host Angela Simmons cruised up 5th avenue in a Lamborghini before hopping out in front of Henri Bendel, one of NYC's most legendary & luxe retail establishments.

Former Miss Teen USA Kamie Crawford posed with Alisha and Angela.

R&B singer Melanie Fiona was also among the attendees in a fun & flirty yellow printed dress.

LAHH ATL star Ariane Davis was there to support alongside with "LAHH NYC" star Raqi Thunda.

Keri Hilson's been laying low on the scene for a while.  But check out her new look she showed off for fans inside...

The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer has been spending her time boo'd up with her NBA baller Serge Ibaka, hitting a few parties, and taking some time off from the music industry. 

But she gave folks a glimpse at her new look yesterday.  The usually blonde with big curls chick switched up for extra long dark brown braids.  Wonder if she sits on them...

She snapped a pic (above) while furniture shopping yesterday.

So....

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Ashanti hit up "Watch What Happens Live" last night with Andy Cohen & Christina Ricci.  And now that her Braveheart album is dropping September 3rd, she has some things she can now discuss.  Check out her Nelly confession about the single that's about him, plus her and her mom twerking it up, inside....

Ashanti answered questions from fans.  And here's what we learned:

On the Ciara and Rihanna beef: "I think Rihanna is killin' it right now. She's very free. I think Ciara's definitely doing her thing. I like her new video. I think there's room for every chick that wants to get down and just be big in the business. You have to have your swag and great records so I think there's room.

On her fitness secrets: I've thought about doing a workout video with my trainer. I need to work out more than I do. But when I know I'm going to be on television or shooting a video or something, I kinda cheat and workout 3-4 times a week. When I know I had to do a video a few years ago, I did 1000 crunches every hour for 24 hours. I don't know (if it was healthy) but it looked GREAT. I had to wear a bikini.

On Ja Rule: Yeah we're still in touch. You know he's out now! We spoke on the phone, he's in great spirits, he's working on a new album. He's looking kinda brolic now.

On her breakup with Murder Inc: There's no bad blood.  We went through a whole lot.  There was family involved and relationships involved.  It was really hard when that stuff happened.  It was like a black cloud over all of us.  There was a period where we didn't talk as much as we did.  But as it stands today, we're all good.  The whole Murder Inc. family.  We made history together.   We're in the Guinness Book of World Records together. (Record: The fastest selling debut female artist in music history.)

On whether "Never Should Have" is about her ex Nelly: Well, how do I answer that?  I'll just say its a very real record, that's inspired by a real experience and it came from a real place.

(When Andy said, "So I'm gonna say YES"....Ashanti laughed it up. So, yeah...)

Tina Douglas, Ashanti's Momanger, was the bartender for the night.  She gave advice to Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina saying,"Please focus on you, so Lindsay can focus on her. People should live their lives, and she should be there to advise, and that's it."

And then, Andy had her & Ashanti teach him how to twerk. See how THAT went down below:

The "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" reunion is right around the corner.  And now, we've got a preview of what to expect.  Remember when we told you a few days ago a shoe went flying upside someone's head at the reunion and a fight broke out?  Well, peep the preview inside involving MiMi Faust & Joseline Hernandez.  Plus, Stevie J. gives details on how he & Joseline got married at the Justice of the Peace....

In case you care, Joseline & MiMi had an unsurprising fight at the "LAHH: ATL" reunion.  TheYBF.com was there at the taping so we already let you know about what went down.  But here's the first preview (above) of what that fight was about. 

When creator and moderator Mona Scott-Young pointed out MiMi's boob job and instigated the situation by asking Joseline what SHE thought about it.....all hell broke loose.  "You just mad because I took yo baby daddy" is the type of ghetto-tasticness was said before Joseline's large shoe went flying at MiMi.  She tried it.

Check out the foolishness above and see what we define as foolywang material.  VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” two-part reunion airs Monday, August 5 & August 12 at 8PM ET/PT.

Meanwhile, Stevie J. did an interview withHip Hop Weekly where he describes just how he and Joseline got married.  Here's an excerpt:

HHW: Now that you’ve gone to a Justice of the Peace, will you do another ceremony?

STEVIE J: When the show permits, we’ll do it on the show or something, or have our own show and have some kids on the show.

HHW: How are you going to deal with Mimi now that you and Joseline are a solid couple?

STEVIE J: There’s some jealousy there but I don’t believe there’s enough to where there would be a problem. Joseline is my wife now, and Mimi is the mother of my child. Not a whole lot can be done. But I can make sure that Mimi will always be good. That’s not going to change. But I’m married now — I’m married now!

HHW: How does it feel?

STEVIE J: I feel great!

HHW: How does Joseline feel?

STEVIE J: She’s got the best f—— man in the whole world.

Let us pray....

Gorgeous alert!  YBF chicks Kelly Rowland & Nicole Beharie hit the 2013 Fox TCA Summer Tour event in L.A. yesterday.  And both ladies kept it fab as they promoted their upcoming shows.

Check out their fabness inside....

Kelly Rowland is the newest "X Factor USA" judge.  So she posed it up at SoHo Hose in L.A. with fellow judges Paulina Rubio and Demi Lovato for the Fox TCA Summer Tour conference last night.

The "Kisses Down Low" singer kept it sexy in a turquoise & white geometric striped dress with her black Louboutin pumps.  Loves this summery look on her.

And her new promo pic for "X Factor" is also out.  Chick is WINNING with her flawlessness these days.   The third season of "The X Factor" U.S. will have a two-part premiere on Fox on Sept. 11 (1 hour) and Sept. 12 (2 hours) at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on both dates.

Also at last night's Fox TCA conference, up and coming actress Nicole Beharie posed with her co-stars Tom Mison, Orlando Jones, and Katie Winter for their upcoming Sci-Fi show "Sleepy Hollow".

She kept it simple yet cute in a black pencil dress with a leather fitted peplum belt. 

Nicole plays the lead role in the thriller as Detective Abbie Mills as the show premieres Monday, September 16th.  Here's the synopsis:

In this modern day twist of Washington Irving's classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen") is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Bound to the Headless Horseman by a blood spell cast on the battlefield of the American Revolution, Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

As this re-invented Ichabod finds himself in present-day Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town and a world he no longer recognizes. All that is brutally familiar are Headless and Ichabod's determination to annihilate this immortal being. It's a mission he must complete quickly, as Headless already has viciously slain Sheriff AUGUST CORBIN (guest star Clancy Brown, "Cowboys & Aliens," "Carnivale"). Grey served both as mentor and father figure to Detective ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, "Shame," "American Violet"), a young cop whose own supernatural experiences help her form an unlikely bond with Ichabod. But Sleepy Hollow's head of police, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, "The Chicago 8," "Drumline"), isn't buying any of this.

In fact, the only person who is on Abbie's side is Ichabod. His extensive first-hand knowledge of our secret American history, coupled with her superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, will make them a formidable duo as they work together to triumph over evil. The complex pasts of Ichabod and Abbie, from Ichabod's inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society and the ghostly appearance of his late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, "Dexter"), to Abbie's childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its future.

We're keeping our eye on the 42 actress as she looks like one who may make a surprising stamp on Hollywood soon...

Rihanna went for a brand new look last night as she hit up Playhouse in L.A.  While she's partaking in some down time from her Diamonds world tour, she snatched out the weavery and rocked her natural hair.  Check out what she calls her "Michael Jackson" 'do inside, plus how she narrowly missed her enemy Karrueche Tran as they parties at the same club....

Rihanna's got much to celebrate.  She won her $5 mill TopShop lawsuit centered around the retail giant illegally using her likeness on t-shirts they were selling.  She just made Billboard's Hot 100 55th Anniversary All-Time Rankings list.  And she can rock a super sexy & revealing dress and make that ish look effortless.

So the "Right Now" singer made her way to Playhouse in her (American) home of L.A. last night to chill....and she showed off her wet and wavy natural hair.  Some folks called it jherri curlesque.  And Rih kinda agreed.  She posted a few selfies while out with her besties Melissa Forde & LeLee saying:

Michael Jacks0n!!!!!! #rihjackson #michaeljackson #mjhair.... Still tryna get used to my hurr, so I threw on some #redlipstick #RIRIWoo

Ha!

Meanwhile:

Chris' sometimey boo Karrueche, who's been booking modeling gigs for different mags and retail companies, was also spotted out at Playhouse last night with her crew.  But she and Rih didn't cross paths, thankfully. 

By the way, yesterday before she hit the club, a fresh faced bra-less Rih Rih hit up the Neil Lane Jewelry store with her friends in West Hollywood.  And she walked out rocking a new diamond necklace.  Must be nice....

Ciara brought her bangin' bod to her bestie Kim K.'s mom's show "Kris" today.  Check out the love fest she had with co-host Diddy inside...

CIara and guest co-host Diddy expressed their mutual love & respect for each other on today's episode of "Kris."  In case you didn't notice, Kris Jenner has a new talk show that' in a summer test run on Fox right now.  So she is bringing on celeb guest co-hosts to help boost her numbers.

Diddy said he loves CicCi's resilience in this ever changing industry.  And he told her whenever she's up next on an Awards show to perform, he knows to grab his popcorn and watch a great show.

CiCi revealed her life long dream was to be her version of "Poprah--P. Diddy & Oprah".  And she gushed about how influential he is in the business.

We love all the mutual love.

And then Diddy revealed that when Kris used to post throwback pics of herself in bikinis & ish, he developed a serious crush on her years ago.  And you already know the 57-year-old Momager was on cloud 9 hearing that.

He said, "You know when everybody thinks of the Kardashians? They might think of Kim… but I think of you. I know that you have Bruce, but you know?... I have had a crush on you for a long time."

Peep the video below:

Ciara & Diddy also helped judge a Men vs. Women step team faceoff.  

And by the way, Kim made her first post-baby appearance via a surprise video on her mom's show today.  She said a quick 10 second "Hi mom" and "I'm so proud of you" and "I'm loving being home too much so sorry I didn't come in person" type deal.  She's been in hiding for 7 weeks.  In case you cared...

As for CiCi's hot outfit for the day:

She showed off those killer toned gams in an asymmetrical Anthony Vaccarello miniskirt, Louboutin pumps, and H&M top and bracelets by Celine & Lorraine Schwartz.  Hot.

Big Sean has released an artsy visual for his latest single "Fire", and it stars Miley Cyrus!  Watch the clip inside....

Under the direction of Matthew Williams for DONDA, Big Sean tapped former child star turned worldstar twerker Miley Cyrus as the lead model in his "Fire" video.  The song is the latest offering from Big Sean's HALL OF FAME disc (August 27).

So......why Miley Cyrus? Big Sean answered that question while explaining the video's concept.

"It's about getting through the tough times, through the fire, and always evolving. Whether it’s in relationships, personal, in your work, etc. Miley's character in the visual represents a metaphor for people who may have changed and evolved into something beautiful, who have evolved past certain relationships -- the picture of me burning symbolizes an old romance and coming out victorious and beautiful as a flower."

Oh, so that explains these rappers' latest obsession with Miley and why she been twerking and hanging out with Juicy J. Because she's a flower......

Watch "Fire" here:

"The Real" hosts Tamar Braxton and Adrienne Bailon got into a heated discussion recently, about friends dating the same man.  Weigh in on the topic inside.....

Yesterday, the ladies of "The Real" battled it out over friends dating the same man (or men) and if you should ever become friends with your ex-boyfriend's new chick.  

When Adrienne revealed that she befriended Rita Ora (who dated Adrienne's ex,Rob Kardashian) Tamar questioned (very loudly) why two friends would date the same man (even post-breakup).  

Adrienne disagreed, and added that she was "so over" Rob, that she didn't care who he was with. Seeing that it was 6 years later and all.  Plus, she thought Rita Ora was a dope chick.  

Those opposing views led us to wonder, is it ok for friends in your circle to date the same men....at any point?  
 

Watch the clip here and weigh in:

Raven Symone recently thanked the government, via Twitter, for allowing her the option to get married..."finally".  Ummm.....did Raven just "out" herself after she's given roundabout answers on those gay rumors?  Read the tweet inside.....

Though Raven Symone has not "officially" come out (and we don't expect her to), she recently shared a tweeted that has given the most proof to something we're all pretty convinced about--she's ready to marry her lover.

After Raven, who has recently gone back to school for an art degree, began popping up at gay pride events in several cities, many folks started whispering.  And those whispers turned to a shout once Raven was spotted kissing and cuddling her alleged model girlfriend. Then she officially released a statement saying,"My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life."

Now Raven's sexuality will surely come back into question now that she's tweeted about DOMA.

Well....we think that pretty much says it all. Raven doesn't owe anyone any details about her private life, but we do appreciate that she's being who she is and expressing her thoughts.  Do you boo.  Wedding bells a-ringin'.....

*UPDATE* Raven gave this statement to CNN, confirming that the legalization of gay marriage now allows her to marry.  But she has no marital plans right now:

"I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted," the actress said in a statement through her representatives.

"I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to."

Chris Brown was spotted looking healthier & more fresh faced than usual....aside from those ciggies and whatever's in that cup.  Check out the R&B singer and Nicki Minaj on the set of their upcoming video for "Love More" inside....

Breezy was spotted today pulling a wardrobe change on the L.A. set of his brand new video for his latest single "Love More."  The track features Nicki Minaj, but no word yet on if she'll be appearing in the video as well. and she was spotted arriving to the set as well (below).

We do know who WILL be featured though.....60 random video chicks who will be dancing it up in the nightclub scene.  They were also spotted on the set.  Obvi.

Chris is back to looking like that fresh faced non-caved-in-face youngin' we came to love years ago.  Hopefully this is due to him leading a less-drama filled & healthier lifestyle.  Hopefully...

Nicki showed up in a black & gold look.  Her jewelry, shoes & Medusa bustier are all by Versace.  And her peplum skirt is from her own upcoming Nicki Minaj Collection:

She posted a few pics of her own from the set as well:

Fun times.

Jay-Z took over HBO Friday night with an appearance on "Real Time With Bill Maher" and the premiere of his brand new "Picasso Baby" video project. Check out the vid and a few of his quotes inside...

In a 10 minute video Executive Produced by Jay-Z himself and directed by Mark Romanek, Hov debuted his "Picasso Baby" video project on HBO Friday night. 

The single, which is fresh off his new Magna Carta Holy Grail album, is all about the clashes of various types of art and how a rapper would interpret this.

At the beginning of the video, Jay explains why he shot this video over a 6 hour period inside the Pace Art Gallery in NYC:

"Concerts are pretty much performance art, but the venue's changed. So by nature of the venue, the performance changed. When you're in a smaller venue, you get to feel the energy of the people."

"Today it's kind of an exchange...you have some people trying to back off.  When art started to become part of the galleries, it became a separation between culture, between the hip hop people ad the artists who were like, bourgeois.  We're artists.  We're like cousins.  I'm trying to bring the worlds back together."

Random gallery-goers and his celebrity friends were front and center for the artsy production:

Fashion designers Jenna Lyons and Cynthia Rowley, actors Taraji P. Henson, Rosie Perez, Michael K. Williams, and directors Judd Apatow and Mikalene Thomas all came to support.  Wale, Fab Five Freddy, street dancers, singers and more were also brought up to the platform by Jay.

Check out the clash of art in the full "Picasso Baby" video project below:

And before the big debut, Mr. Carter stopped by Bill Maher's show "Real Time" to chop it up about music, politics and to generally shoot the sh*t.  And if you're a Bill Maher fan, you know the convo was a comical good one.

Here's a few quotes:

On the drama with Harry Belafonte calling out The Carters & accusing them of not doing enough to help the community:  "I didn't think it was the correct venue. If it was something that was a real problem, I'm not difficult to find. Especially someone of his stature. He can reach out to me and we can have a conversation and we can do some good together. That was sort of a bit grand-standing to me. And I didn't like that. Especially dragging my wife into it. That was a bit of a low blow."

On who would induct him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (he's only 7 years away from a nomination): "Obama."If he's busy: "He'll be alright. He owes me a couple."

On arrogance vs. humility:  "It's overreaction. If you have the audacity to be great or compare yourself to any of the greats that came before you…If you say just like Obama or Picasso I'm this…people will say it's almost like blasphemous. But it's like, what are we doing this for? When you sitting in that chair, you want to be great. You want to be known as the greatest of all time. It's never going to happen if you don't see yourself that way first. You have to envision it first."

On the solution to violence in this country, namely in Chicago: "I don't really want to scare America…but the real problem is there's no middle class.  So the gap between the have and have nots is getting wider and wider.  It's going to be a problem that no amount of police can solve, because once you have that oppression and that gap is widening, this is inevitable that something is going to happen."

You feelin' the "Picasso Baby" project?

Gabrielle Union took a break from filming Chris Rock's newest movie in NYC to grab lunch with her baller boo Dwyane Wade on Friday.  Check out their cute pics inside...

The newly blonde Gabby was spotted starting out her day with some lunch with her boyfriend D-Wade at 10th Avenue's CookShop in Chelsea.  Then they met up with friends like Deidra Maloney and walked around afterwards.
 

And now that Dwyane had to turn over his boys to his ex-wife Siohvaughn for the next two weeks, he's found himself with lots of free time.

Then the tomboyesque chick was then spotted leaving the Trump Soho hotel.  She switched from her skirt into cutoff shorts and sneakers for the rest of her day.  And still looked fab as usual.

And over in NYC, Emily B. was spotted leaving the Trump Soho hotel.  She was sans her man Fabolous, but he may not have been far. 

Em is gearing up for a new season of VH1's "Chrissy & Mr. Jones" as she will be making appearances once again.  And she's also launching her own shoe line.
