Lamar Odom Checks Into Rehab + A$AP Rocky Slapped With Lawsuit For Slapping ANOTHER Female Fan

Lamar Odom has finally brought himself to rehab.  Deets inside, plus why A$AP Rocky is in trouble yet again....

Reports this evening state that Lamar Odom, who has been looking slimmer and slimmer lately (pictured above last weekend at Blockbuster), has entered rehab for drug & alcohol abuse.

Two sources tell People,"He realized he needs help."

Lamar has reportedly been struggling with an addiction to cocaine (allegedly crack) for at least 2 years now.  And he and wife Khloe Kardashian Odom have reportedly physically separated because of it.  After several failed attempts of interventions by the Kardashians, Lamar has finally given in. 

We wonder if his new lawyer for that DUI of his, Robert Shapiro, had anything to do with it.  Supposedly, Kris Jenner asked Shapiro to rep Lamar because he has experience with addiction as his son died from it.

Also, today, a man alleging to be Lamar's dealer came forward about selling Odom $16,000 worth of cocaine back in February in Lamar's hometown of Queens.

In other news, A$AP Rocky has done another foolish act.  he was just slapped with a lawsuit by a female fan who claims he slapped her during his concert at the past weekend's Made In America festival.

According to TMZ, A$AP was charged with a misdemeanor over this debacle.  Here's the deets they gave:

 

The [young mom] claims A$AP was trying to make his way through a crowd of dancing fans -- with a bunch of girls pulling on his shirt -- when A$AP turned and fired off an open-hand slap, connecting with her face.

The woman claims she was injured from the alleged slap -- suffering whiplash from the impact.

Here's a thought--stop walking your happy ass through a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people if you don't want to be yanked.  Either don't walk thru, or deal with it, or have your security deal with it.  Slapping females or any fans is just ignorant.  Especially because this is not A$AP's first time slapping a female fan for the exact same reason.

"R&B Divas: LA" Reunion Gets Messy (FULL VIDEO) + Chante Moore, Lil Mo & Claudette Ortiz GO GLAM For Kontrol Mag

Chante Moore, Lil Mo, and Claudette Ortiz may have had to straighten out the drama on last night's "R&B Divas: LA" reunion, but they surely glammed it up nicely for their new cover of Kontrol magazine.

 

We've got the full reunion show video inside in case you missed it, plus the gals' new cover.....

 

Host Wendy Williams came with the questions everybody wanted to know last night (and so did TheYBF.com if you caught our cameo!) during part 1 of the reunion show.  So we finally got to the bottom of the Kelly Price mean-girl drama....and who was REALLY the brains behind the ladies getting together to do these monologues.  Well, kinda.

Kelly & Chante Moore battled it out over who was approached first, what drama was started by the producers and more.  And then "Fred" from the show came on stage to attempt to straighten things out.

It seemed like Kelly as trying her damndest not to lose her cool, and so was Chante.  Especially when she said the real reason why she was mad at Kelly quitting "every 3 days" was because she's got checks to get and child support payments to make.  SAY WHAT?!

Get into the reunion below:

 

And as for the fab ladies rocking that Kontrol cover (atop), they didn't hold back with throwing shade at the other cast in ATL.  When asked in the mag what makes the LA cast different from Atlanta...

Claudette: The location makes a difference

Lil Mo: We have more notable songs and we’re cuter, young hip hop and r&b. We act younger and more fun.

And on why they decided to do the show:

Lil Mo: I never thought in a million years I’d do reality TV but I’m glad that I did because it’s given me an opportunity to get back out there and really promote what I love to do which is music.” “I was asked about the Atlanta cast but when I found out about LA, I knew I was a better fit.

Claudette: I’ve been approached to do reality TV but I wanted to make sure this was something worth pursuing seeing as I have three children. I didn’t want it to be exploitative and negative.

Chante: I was asked to share my life and the focus was going to be on my music, that’s what I liked about it.

Oh.

 

The Randomness:

1.  Eddie Murphy thought it was a good idea to release a new reggae track with Snoop Lion.  Apparently, Eddie's working on a new album.  STORY

LaLa Anthony is good for rounding up her girls for a sexy dinner date.  And last night was no different.  The NBA wife was spotted at Madeo restaurant with fellow NBA wife Vanessa Bryant and LaLa's bestie Kelly Rowland.  Peep the pics inside...

 

Outside Madeo in Beverly Hills last night, reality star LaLa was spotted waiting on the car in her red Valentino shoes after a fun dinner with Vanessa Bryant, the wife of Laker baller Kobe Bryant.  The two fab ladies, rocking curve hugging looks, smiled for the paps while waiting around:

And as the duo hopped in Vanessa's car to leave together, Kelly Rowland was also spotted leaving from their dinner date:

"X Factor" judge Kel rocked a more casual look (that we're not necessarily loving) of platform loafers and an all black look.  Maybe she's saving up her sexiness for NY fashion week.  She's got some promo to do before the Fox show kicks off season 3 September 11th.

 

The Randomness:

1.  Gilbert Arenas has been officially charged with misdemeanor possession of dangerous fireworks without a permit in regards to all those fireworks he was caught with back in June.  STORY

Rashida has also received a commitment from FOX to develop a new show called "Struck" with writer Alexandra Rushfield.  According to THR"Stuck revolves around a middle-aged woman who works at a bank and gets her "stuck in childhood" daughter a job there. Within a day, the daughter becomes the mother's boss. The comedy will follow the duo at home and work as they help one another get "unstuck." "

Sounds interesting. Congrats Rashida!

We've got a roundup of September and October magazine covers and Tyson Beckford, John Legend and Viola Davis are among the YBFers who'll be gracing magazine stands.  See the fab shoots inside.....

SAG Award winner Viola Davis rocks her natural hair on the October 2013 cover of ESSENCE Magazine.  Inside, the Oscar-nominated beauty talks about beauty, creative freedom and the evolution—both inside and out—that finally helped her get to happy.

The upcoming Prisoners actress talks about coming into her own as a Black woman in Hollywood:

“I had to defend myself as an artist, but I found myself defending myself as a dark-skinned Black woman in front of people who did not know my life. I took my wig off because I no longer wanted to apologize for who I am…”

Speak!

You'll recall that the issue of skin color was also a hot-button issue when Viola appeared alongside Phylicia Rashad and Gabrielle Union on "Oprah's Next Chapter".  Looking fabulous as always Viola.

During a recent interview with UK's The Sun, Tyson revealed that he's received death threats over his job as a judge on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model show.  

"I got a lot of negative tweets... I got death threats: 'We're coming to shoot you when you come to London'. I come from America, I'm coming from ganglands. It ain't like I haven't been shot at before. Bring it on buddy! But I did alert Sky (the network). And I don't say where I am on Twitter. I might tweet a photo, but if anybody rocks up (arrives there) they'll find I left a few hours ago. But I'm not worried."

Yikes.....we 're glad that Tyson has beefed up his security.  Now we know why his Twitter timeline NEVER includes where he's located!

John Legend covers ROLLING OUT's latest issue, with a slihtly awkward in-the-clouds theme.  Inside, he talks about his new disc, Love In The Future, the decline of R&B on the radio, the misogyny of rap music and his upcoming marriage to Chrissy Teigen. 

 photo jlro4.jpg

"Hip-hop is the dominant music on black radio today. The stations that traditionally played R&B aren’t playing it as much these days. That’s a part of where music is going. At times, I listen to more hip-hop than R&B. I don’t blame radio stations for playing mostly hip-hop. But it’s our responsibility as R&B artists to make music that will attract the people. We have to make music that’s urgent, great and compelling.”

 photo jlro3.jpg

“Hip-hop has a strong misogynistic streak that we should try to get rid of. More rappers should be careful about what they say about women. I think they’re trying to sound tough, or sound like they don’t give a s—. But to me, it just sounds like you’re an a–hole. I think rappers should pay more attention to what they say about women. Some of the things I hear, I find pretty disgusting.”

 photo jlro2.jpg

On his future marriage to Chrissy Teigen:

“Nothing will be perfect. I know that our marriage will not be perfect, but I feel good about it. I think you should treat people how you want to be treated, no matter what kind of relationship you are in. It’s not that complicated. Everyone is selfish to a degree, we all have our own desires and we mess up in life. But the key to being in a good relationship is knowing how to listen and figuring out a way to not be selfish all of the time.”

On Kanye West:

“Kanye is good at pushing the culture, pushing the conversation and making people think and challenging his audience,” Legend says. “He does that with this new album as well. The music is interpreted differently by a lot of people. Part of what makes him exciting as an artist is that he makes thought-provoking music. It’s something that’s provocative and I think it’s a good thing.”

He spoke some truth about that mysogyny in the game.

TAMAR TAKES NEW YORK: "SHE" Makes The Promo Rounds, Reveals Why She Hid Her Pregnancy!

It's a Tamar Takeover!  "All the Way Home" singer Tamar Braxton was all over New York City yesterday promoting her Love and War album. See the fab (and snatched) chick on the move inside with her fam and find out what she revealed about initially hid her pregnancy.  

 photo tbe4.jpg

Tamar Braxton was spotted making several stops during her New York City press tour yesterday, and of course, "She" "Me" "Her" managed to switch up her outfit at each location.  

She and her husband, Vincent, were spotted at “Live with Kelly & Michael,” NBC NY Live, Sirius XM, WBLS, Logo TV, VH1, and Time Inc Studios.  And they hada party last night to celebrate the big album drop.

 photo tbe7.jpg

Tamar, who's signed to EPIC Records, was congratulated by company CEO LA Reid on the breakout success of Love and War.  

 photo tbe9.jpg

Tamar also chatted with Hot 97 personality Angie Martinez.  

 photo tbe3.jpg

Sway's Shade 45 show was also on the list of stops.   

 photo tbe8.jpg

 

And during an interview with ABC Radio, Tamar dished about becoming a first time mother, why she and Vince shot their own spinoff show, and revealed the reason Vincent wanted her to conceal her pregnancy.  Here are the highlights:

Why She Hid Pregnancy for So Long:

"I was the one who wanted to tell and Vince didn't. It was a situation where Logan wasn't planned. And it's almost like when you have fertility issues you're waiting for the shoe to drop," says Tamar, who welcomed baby Logan Vincent Herbert three months ago. "So Vince just wanted to wait as long as he could just to make sure everything was going to be OK and we were in the clear."

On Motherhood:

"Motherhood is great. Logan is great. He's a great baby," Tamar gushes. "And he's nothing like his mother. He's not dramatic at all. He's very much like Vince -- very chill, relaxed, laid back."

On Baby Logan Vincent Herbert:

"My mother [Evelyn Braxton] tells me that Logan is pretty advanced," Tamar says. "He's cooing a whole lot. He laughs. He listens. And you can tell he's listening because if somebody's talking he'll look over at the next person then he'll look back over. He's all in your conversation. Yeah, he's just a really good baby."

Why She and Vince signed up for "Tamar and Vincent":

"[Vince] did it for me in a sense. He just felt like the viewers needed to see a different side of me because on Braxton Family Values you just see me as...the loudmouth baby sister who gives all of the unsolicited advice in the world," Tamar tells ABC News Radio. "And you do, because that's the role that I play when I'm with my sisters. But you know when I'm with Vince, I'm also a mother now and I'm a businesswoman and there's another side to me."

All Tamartians can catch the return of "Tamar and Vince" on WeTV tonight at 9 p.m. ET

REPORT Claims Lamar Odom Is NOT in REHAB After All, ALLEGEDLY....But His Boss E! Claims He Is!

Despite a report yesterday that claimed Lamar Odom had check into rehab, a newer report says Lamar HAS NOT check into rehab and has gone AWOL again.  But his boss, the E! network, is sticking to the rehab story.  Get the convuluted deets inside.....

 

The Lamar Odom saga continues......

Now that the "demons" of Lamar Odom's life (drugs, DUIs, infidelity) have been put on public display (partially due to his association with the Kardashian machine), we were all very hopeful when PEOPLE published a report that Lamar had entered rehab....FINALLY.

The accompanying article claimed that two sources had confirmed Lamar's enrollment.  One source said, "He realized he needs help." But here's the funny thing, Khloe Kardashian didn't know about any of this, allegedly!  TMZ reports that Khloe has been blindsided by "rehab" news and after a couple of phone calls, TMZ said they COULD NOT verify that Lamar had actually entered a treatment facility.  This could just mean the facility was doing their job and keeping confidentiality....remember that little word?

Also, the site added that the Kardashain Klan does not know of Lamar's whereabouts.  SMH....it's not good for a wealthy alleged crack/cokehead to be wandering the streets.

Let's all hope that Lamar IS in a rehab facility and TMZ and the Kardashians just don't know where to look.   Because his bosses over at the E! network surely believe he is in somebody's rehab.  E! Online put out a story minutes ago saying their sources tell them Lamar is indeed in a facility getting help.  So....we've got competing rehab stories.

 

Time will tell...

The bodyguard of several celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, Norman Oosterbroek, was killed on Monday in Florida.  And the bizarre details are just as saddening...

Fans of the biggest pop stars in the business have likely come to know the face of the tall ever present security detail chief known to most as Norm.  After getting his start protecting Nelson Mandela in South Africa, he's been Jay-Z's protector for several years and also became Beyonce's protector later into The Carter's relationship. 

Norm was the automatically recognizable head honcho of the security detail and we're told he brought many of the other bodyguards we see into the fold.  But his life came to a shocking end this week.

Usually, Norm is seen on the family vacays alongside Julius and others, but he was not seen on The Carter's current tip to Spain as he was back home in Pinecrest, FL.

 photo BeyonceJayZGrabLunchParish-vntOJSjfal_zps24e7cd03.jpg

According to police reports from Miami-Dade PD, Norm was tasered by police after he reportedly "stormed" into his neighbor's home at 10:45p Monday night, naked.  He reportedly had gotten into a very violent fight with the man of the house after the woman of the house, Christiane Jung, said she "heard rumblings" from inside her house.

Christine reports Norm confronted her and got into a fight with her husband, Markus, before Norm was reportedly seen swallowing a mystery substance.

Police ended up tasering 43-year-old "uncontrollable & violent" Oosterbroek after he could not be subdued once they arrived.  He was rushed to baptist Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

 

 photo LadyGagaLadyGagaWearsLargeDressPariscbKAxdrPxEml_zps0ac95a7f.jpg

Police report to NBC Miami that he was likely under the influence of some drug:

"It’s possible that he may have been under some type of a narcotics. Again, he was observed swallowing, ingesting some kind of substance, unknown substance that is,” Miami-Dade Police spokesman Det. Javier Baez said of Oosterbroek.

The police department suspiciously will not reveal how many times they tasered him.

We're told Norm, who created RAD protection agency, is survived by his wife whom he married in 2009, April McDaniel, and they have one child together.   We're also told Norm had 2 kids from other relationships.

The Miami Herald says April, who was leasing the $500,000 South Florida estate with her husband, declined.

NBC Miami also reports that neighbors are asking for explanations surrounding the incident.

After all that bruhaha after the VMAs with Miley Cyrus rubbing her flat ass and foam finger all up in Robin Thicke's privates, and people thinking Paula Patton needed to yank her to the side to tell her about her inappropriateness, all is well in the Thicke household.

 

Check out the cute couple cuddled up at Robin's album release party last night for his project that came out in July, plus find out what happened to Kandi Burruss' spinoff...

It was all kisses and cuddles at Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines record release party at No.8 in NYC last night.  His sexy wife Paula, who's out  promo'ing her new movie Baggage Claim, was all up on her man last night showing the world that ish with Miley was just an act.  And a bad one at that.  We already knew that though.

 photo RobinThickeRobinThickeBlurredLinesRecordUHYwJwAK63Ul_zps4ede9720.jpg

The twosome are fresh off a trip to Miami where they went for Robin to rock a concert with Pharrell, and now they're back in the Big Apple.

Paula kept it hot in a skin tight orange Stella McCartney dress with a signature mesh cut out tummy and gold ankle strap heels.

 photo RobinThickeRobinThickeBlurredLinesRecordS7u0Zeq0iegl_zps06b97f3c.jpg 

And Robin entertained the crowd fabulously as always.  These two always look so in love.

 

Speaking of love, there's none of that for reality star Kandi Burruss.  At least not where Bravo is concerned.

Kandi recently said she was "stressed" and was headed intot he studio to release (above), and now we may know why.  Bravo recently told her that her spinoff show, Kandi Factory, has officially gotten the axe.  It was rumored this would happen, but now, it's official.  She even confirmed the news to her fans on Twitter. 

This really isn't a shock.  We can probably count on two hands how many people were actually watching.  And based on the drama involving the contestants who were promised a song release via the show, we had a feeling that mug wasn't making a return.

Oh wells.  Now she can go back to focusing on "RHOA," her beef with Kim Zolciak (who some type of way KEEPS getting her spinoff show renewed), and her Bedroom Kandi ventures.

Last week, Jasmine Jordan, the only daughter of Michael and Juanita Jordan posted several Instagram pics of herself with her girlfriend, former Syracuse Orange basketball guard Carmen Tyson-Thomas.

 photo mixckij.png

One telling caption read "That little closet is holding me back.”  

With Jasmine being the second high-profile kid of a sports icon to come "out" (remember E.J., Magic Johnson's son?), a certain site took the information and posted it in a very sensationalized manner.  In response, Jasmine went back to her Instagram account and said,

“(the other site) has struck again! Lol but just like the last time, I’m chillin and not bothered. Negativity go to the left and take a seat. No time for that! Everyone have an amazing day!”

She continued....

”Until Love, Trust, Honesty, Repost, Loyalty, Commitment, Genuine, Happiness and other characteristics or aspects I want in a relationship is defined by one gender then and only then will I discuss my sexual preference.”

Jasmine's girlfriend posts tons of pics of their skype sessions and lovey dovey notes as well.  So the twosome are indeed an item.

Congrats on doing you Jasmine....

"Age Ain't A Factor" singer Jaheim was spotted shooting his latest video, "Baby x3" with "RHOA" stars Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas. See the BTS photos inside and get the details about the clip's scandalous concept.....

 photo jhbt9.jpg

We suspected a "scandal" a few weeks ago when we spied "Age Ain't A Factor" singer Jaheim looking VERY cozy with "RHOA" star Cynthia Bailey....and now we know why! 

 photo jhbt8.jpg

Cynthia, who also starred in Jaheim's "Age Ain't A Factor" clip, was chosen by director Derek Blanks to co-star in the mini-movie for his next single "Baby x3".

 photo jhbt1.jpg

In the scandalous video, Cynthia plays a woman who's been cheating on her husband (played by her "real" husband Peter Thomas) with Jaheim. 

 photo jhbt3.jpg

The video follows the couple as their strained marriage is torn apart by Cynthia's infidelity.  But it gets better.......

 photo jhbt2.jpg  

While Cynthia is cheating on her husband with Jaheim, we'll also find out that Jaheim's character has a wife and kid!  Messy!

 photo jhbt5.jpg  

We won't spoil it for you....but we do know that Jaheim's wife is arrested by the police at some point.  

The track "Baby x3" appears on Jaheim's Appreciation Day disc, in stores now.

 

Watch director Derek Blanks discuss the video concept along with commentary from Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas (who's VERY passionate about his role).

 

The Randomness:  

1.  Lil' Wayne will appear on Katie Couric's talk show "Katie" on September 9th to kick off her second season.

Reports about Sheree Whitfield's home going into foreclosure are false, Sheree Whitfield says.  Details inside....

Last month, we reported that other sites, one of which was Tamara Tattles, grabbed an exclusive about former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield's Chateau Sheree going into foreclosure. 

Sheree says via her lawyers today that the original report is completely false.  And that Chateau Sheree is NOT in foreclosure.

"Ms. Whitfield operates several business ventures and the gist of the republished statements was to falsely accuse my client of being unable to meet her financial commitments," Sheree's lawyer says.  "There is no question that these false statements were calculated to injure Ms. Whitfield in her professional position in the business community and that they are defamatory per se."

So, there you have it.
