Nas, who's featured on the cover of VIBE's 20th anniversary issue with J. Cole, recently revealed why he didn't attendThe Notorius B.I.G.'s funeral,

"Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode. My attitude, my disposition, it wasn’t good to be around people, especially at a funeral for somebody I cared so much about. I paid my respects from home, man. Sent my prayers, and I didn’t wanna deal with the fanaticism of the sensationalized hip-hop superstar funeral."

DJ Clue was also spotted at the party.

A casting call for the upcoming "Gabrielle Douglas Story" has been sent out and we have all the deets for you inside.....

 

During the summer of 2013, we all watched Gabrielle Douglas make history as the first woman of color and the first African-American gymnast to become the individual all-around Olympic champion. And now, we've just learned that Hollywood producers are bringing the story of "Gabrielle Douglas " to life as a tv movie!

TheYBF.com is the FIRST to bring you the deets....

 photo GabrielleDouglasStars13thAnnualHaroldYQE8zKHeOVBl.jpg

We know that producers want the role to be played by a super petitie pre-teen YBF actress.  They want the great smile, the great eyes and some gymnastics and dance ability to boot.   

Here's a synopsis of what the movie will cover:

"Gabrielle Douglas was born on December 31, 1995, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Gabby Douglas began formal gymnastics training at 6 years old and won a state championship by the time she was 8.

She moved away from her hometown and family in 2010 to pursue training with a world-renowned Olympic trainer, and was selected to compete with the U.S. Olympic women's gymnastics team at the 2012 Summer Olympics. There, Douglas became the first African American to win gold in the individual all-around event."

The movie starts shooting September 9th all the way through the end of October....in Winnipeg, Canada.  So the release date may be before the year is over.

"THE GABBY DOUGLAS STORY" will be produced by Zev Braun, Philip Krupp and David Rosemont. Gregg Champion will be directing and Tracy Twinkie Byrd is the casting director.

For now, it's unclear what network will release the movie but we're excited about it!  Who's your pick to portray Gabby?

Singer Tiara Thomas is continuing to release her own singles with a new track called "Tell Me Something".  After popping her music industry cherry with a feature on Wale's "Bad", check out what the Indianapolis native has to offer on the solo tip...

 photo ScreenShot2013-08-16at43409PM_zps06acf420.png

This 23-year didn't let her Twitter beef with Wale and his team get her down.  She's back with another solo track called "Tell Me Something" after dropping her song "4 Dolla Bill".

Tiara hit up Sway's morning show on Shade 45 today to debut her new song.  We're feelin' Ms. Tiara.  Just hope she gets a unique look to rep her image instead of one that seems like Rihanna's leftovers.  She's a fab chick though.

Her EP Dear Sallie Mae is due out later this year via Interscope Records.  And she's also set to appear on K.Michelle's upcoming spinoff reality show alongside Elle Varner.

Check out her new R&B cut "Tell Me Something" below:

 

So....

DO WE LOVE IT?!

While out on his shopping excursion, Yeezus received some good news from  Los Angeles County district attorney's office who said they wouldn't prosecute him for attacking a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

 photo KanyeWestShoppingAtCartierKMjOuTo32-Tl.jpg

The DA concluded that since the photographer was not seriously, nor his camera damaged, they'd drop the charges.

Meanwhile, Kim managed to grab a few headlines yesterday after she called out television host Katie Couric for sending a baby gift and trashing her during an interview.  Kim instagrammed, "I hate fake media friends" and "May I humbly suggest you not send gifts then talk s**t." Katie later issued a statement to E! News apologizing for the interview saying, 

"I was responding to a reporter's question, and explaining how I'm intrigued by the public's fascination with her family," she said. "I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. The gift is genuine, and I'm happy for Kim and Kanye."

Chris Brown has released the "Love More" video featuring Nicki Minaj.  Watch the dance-friendly visual inside.....

 

In the video for "Love More", the latest offering from Chris Brown's upcoming X album (August 26th),  rapper Nicki Minaj and comedian Nick Swardson join Breezy for an visually stimulating club experience.  Chris, who directed the clip, tweeted, “While you guys kill yourself over bullshit ill keep directing stuff like this! Thx team breezy!!”

In other Chris Brown news, the singer has been ordered to complete an additional 1,000 hours of community service based on the LA County DA's findings that he falsified his community service reports last year. 

You'll recall that the DA accused Breezy of violating his parole by submitting the false reports and they wanted him thrown in jail!  Luckily for Chris, the judge told him that as long as he completes the 1,000 hours, his probation will be reinstated and will officially end in August 2014. 

Although the singer was mum during his court appearance, he had a few choice words for haters on Twitter.  Shortly after the judge's verdict, Chris tweeted a message to his haters, "#FWPT fuck what people think."

No wild & long curls here!  Beyonce brought her new inverted bob to the stage at the Virgin Wireless V Festival in England tonight.  And we're loving the change up and the extra grown vibe it's giving. 

Here's pics of Bey hitting the Virgin Media Stage at Hylands Park at tonight's headliner.  Oh, and she still nailed those hair flips:

Hot.  BeyBey returns to the V Festival stage tomorrow (Sunday) night at Weston Park in Staffordshire, England.  And then she hits the Made In America Festival in Philly during Labor Day weekend.

 

And in not so perfect performance news:

 photo toni-wardrobe_zpscf018d79.jpg

Diva Toni Braxton showed her ass last night in New Brunswick, NJ.  But chick is still a bad b*** at 45 so she really need not be ashamed. 

Things went awry during her performance when a wardrobe malfunction occurred and the entire back of her dress just fell completely down   Chick didn't even miss a beat either. 

She was wearing tights and booty shorts style spanx so naked booty meat was NOT on display.  But still, it's embarrassing nonetheless.  Peep the video below:

One of her fans she brought up on stage handed her his blazer to cover up while someone did an emergency fix on that dress.  Toni tweeted afterwards,"Nobody's Perfect! LOL".  And her sis Tamar had her back responding, “You are tho sissy! At least your ass is AMAZING!”

We know that's right....

There's good news for Toni though: Her duets album with Babyface is scheduled to drop via Motown later this year, and their single "Hurt You" comes out Monday.

Last Thursday evening, residents near Golden Beach (a ritzy enclave of Miami) spied Jay Z and Beyonce filming a new video at a rented beachfront mansion.

During the shoot, police told the residents that if they didn't film or take pictures that Jay and Bey would come out and mingle with the crowd after shooting wrapped. And guess what....the couple kept their word.

And the fellas posted a pic of what went down right before the suits went on.  We're sure a lot of rolling up and getting crazy at the hotel.

Amber posted pics last week of her wedding dress making a major arrival with a fork lift vehicle.  We're just here to see baby Sebastian in his little tux we just know he was rocking...

Congrats Wiz & Amber!

 

The Randomness:

Beyonce Got A Few "BOOS" After Hitting V Festival Stage LATE + Kid President Nabs Her Interview...And A Kiss

Beyonce& her new blonde bob have been working it out all weekend in England.  But after hitting the stage 30 minutes late Sunday night, the crowd showed their impatience.

 

Check it inside plus her hot new Tumblr pics, and how Kid President landed a kiss on the Queen Bey...

Sounds like Beyonce was busy getting her new weavery just right before hitting that stage Sunday night at the V Festival at Weston Park.  And it was because she was 30 minutes late starting her performance, according to NME.

So while the thousands of fans were standing outside waiting for Mrs. Carter to slay the stage, they got a little impatient and started Boo'ing until she popped up from underneath the stage to kick things off with "Run The World (Girls)".  And since we all know she can deliver, all seemed to be forgiven based on the insane amount of praise thrown her way on social media.

Reportedly, she switched up the set a bit from the previous night she performed the V Festival at Hylands Park.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old mom is looking FAB in new pics she posted to her Tumblr account.  She rocked a sexy Cavalli dress above, and another cute two piece from one of her fave stores, Top Shop:

Beyonce is also helping cutie Kid President join the 2013 World Humanitarian Day campaign called “The World Needs More ___.” 

 

Beyoncé was part of last year’s World Humanitarian Day campaign and her UN "I Was Here" music video is nominated for a 2013 VMA for Best Video with a Social Message.  So this year, Kid President interviewed Beyoncé to hear what she thinks the world needs more of.  And he's been on a journey for a while to interview her, so he finally tracked her down backstage at one of her concerts. 

Peep this super cute vid of the two finally chit chatting:
