YBF Chick Angela Simmons recently presented her brand runway items for her brand new company, Shop Angela I AM, during New York Fashion Week.  And we caught up with the budding designer & retail lover during her big show Tuesday night.

 

Check out her celebs friends who came out to support, and our quickie with Angela backstage....

Talk about sexy!  At the STYLE360 Pavilion during NYFW, Angela Simmons showed off her designer skills & curating skills by presenting her new Angela I AM items during her fashion show.  The many looks were from up and coming designers she is selling on her website, plus a few of her own designs.

Angela rocked a red hot double thigh high slit gown with an open back cut out trimmed in careful beading.  And paired it with a pair of sleek black Louboutin pumps.  The dress was made by one of the featured designers, but the rest of the show was totally about Angela.

Jaheim& a very married Cynthia Bailey cross a fine line between admiration and acting on it.  And we get to see it all play out in Jaheim's brand new video for his single "Baby x3". 

 

TheYBF.com has the exclusive premiere inside....

Jaheim's making it his mission to bring R&B back to where it used to be: scadalous storylines in songs and videos and a sexy track to match.

In his newest Derek Blanks-directed visuals for "Baby x3", the saga continues from his first video "Age Aint A Factor".  "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey was his gorgeous model subject as Jaheim was the photographer in charge for a photoshoot all about women being sexy at any age.

In the new vid, Jaheim makes a move on the married Mrs., and his woman and her real life husband Peter Thomas take matters into their own hands when they sense an adulterous affair starting.  And it all ends with someone in handcuffs.

Watch the drama play out below:

Jaheim's album Appreciation Day is in stores now.

FUNNY BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE: Charlemagne's DONKEY OF THE DAY For Homophobia

 photo MISTERCEE33424kk.jpg

This morning on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne awarded "Donkey of the Day" to homophobia.  Listen to it inside....

 

Now the Mister Cee has resigned from Hot 97, Charlamange used his platform on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club to address the REAL matters that seem to keep sending Mister Cee to the ho stroll:  homophobia and sex addiction.  

Instead of tearing Mister Cee down (well, not so harshly), Charlamagne begged him to get help for his own issues and insecurities and blasted the public for the homophobia that keeps people in public roles (DJs, rappers, and singers) in the closet.  He later called out Hot 97 for exploiting Mister Cee's situation for ratings by doing an interview (for the second time).

Also, Charlamagne revealed that Power 105.1 had "the tape" for over a week but choose not to air it because they didn't want to play right into the homophobia or exploit Mister Cee.

So we gotta ask...can we get rid of the ways folks perpetuate of homophobia?

 

Listen above....

 

 

LAWD! Kelly Rowland Flaunts Her BANGIN' BOD For SHAPE Magazine's October 2013 Cover

Well if you needed some fitness motivation in your life, Kelly Rowland just came through in the clutch.  The "Kisses Down Low" singer is flaunting it all for the October 2013 cover of SHAPE magazine...

 photo shapek1_zpsf38337e4.jpg

All hail Ms. Rowland!

The 32-year-old gorgeous gal is giving her workout secrets while rocking bikinis and crop tops in the brand new issue of SHAPE magazine.

And if you thought this sick body came easy, think again.  The brand new "X Factor" judge works out almost every day of the week, usually with her trainer Jeanette Jenkins.

“I work out five or six times a week. I feel better, look better, sleep better....Being fit makes me feel sexy. Isn’t that everyone’s goal when they work out, to look good naked?”

And about the one body part she actually thinks is a flaw (silly girl):

“As I’m getting older, the Rowland family trait of having bigger bottoms is taking its toll on my hips and butt. The other day, [my trainer] had me doing squats that were so hard I wanted to kill her. But my behind is getting higher and tighter. Exercise really does change your body.”

She revealed her secret to controlling cravings:

“When I want a steak, I grill some Portobello mushrooms and put a little goat cheese on them,” she says. “And I’ve learned to satisfy my sweet tooth by replacing Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with half a tablespoon of almond butter on half a banana.”

Kelly's talking about her new music, fitness favorites, and go-to playlist in the October issue on stands now.

 

VIDEOS: Darius McCrary's "Get It, Get It" VIDEO + Former NBA Players Stephen Jackson & Steve Francis' Club Altercation + Andre Leon Talley Says Russell Simmons Should Be BANNED From The Front Rows Of Fashion

In our video roundup, we have the latest (and unfortunate) single from actor Darius McCray called "Get It, Get It" and footage from an altercation between  former NBA players Stephen Jackson and Steve Francis. Also, watch Andre Leon Talley explain why Russell Simmons should be banned from the front row at fashion week.

In his latest single, former "Family Matter" star Darius McCrary (who's currently starring on the FX series “Anger Management) has released a single and music video for his song, ‘Get It, Get It.’ During a recent interview, he explained his foray into music saying, “Music is huge in my life. I’ve been doing music all my life. Acting is what I call the wonderful accident that God placed in my life.”

Apparently this was Darius' version of sexy.  We're not too enthusiatic about the song and truth be told, he looks like he carries a medical marijuana card and had taken a lot of "medicine" before and during the video shoot.  But we're not judging....

 

And in club foolywang........

At the (26:23) mark of a video of what looks like someone trying to get a reality show, supposedly taken in August, two former NBA players, Stephen Jackson and Steve Francis, appear to be involved in a drunken club altercation. We're not sure what happened between the aspiring rappers (sigh), but the tape shows Stephen choking Steve.  

After the choking incident, cops were called and they put a CLEARLY intoxicated Steve in handcuffs and escorted him out of the building. We guess it's the sad ballad of an ex-ball player.   

 

And in interviews....

 

Andre Leon Talley talked to The Grio about the "politics" of sitting on the front row of a fashion show saying, “I think anyone that is a person of achievement on the front row that has achieved a great deal, be they black or white, is a good thing.”

But when it came to placing Russell Simmons on the front row, Andre took issue with the recent Harriet Tubman sex tape scandal and said Russell should be banned from the front row!

“I don’t think Russell Simmons should be seated on anybody’s front row this week after having done that disgusting Harriet Tubman sex tape. He is a man of great achievement. He is a great philanthropist….why would he think it would be an honorable thing to do? He said he thought it was funny. That is not funny it is outrageously disrespectful to the legacy and history of Harriet Tubman and to the struggle.”

Mr. Andre Leon Talley has spoken.

No pretentious models here!  It was all about the YBF kids at the KIDS ROCK! runway show Wednesday at Grand Central Station.  Check out how the kiddies of celebs ended NYFW inside...

 

 

 photo IMG_9954_zpsbbfb2ccc.jpg

Carmelo & LaLa Anthony brought their cutie son Kiyan to the fashion show (dj'd by 10-year-old DJ Fulano!) featuring Nike, Nike SB, Levis, Converse, and Jordan.  And it was all put on by New York Knicks baller Amar'e Stoudemire's foundation. 

Kiyan was part of the show and TheYBF.com caught up with the fam after he walked the runway.

Reality star LaLa said about supporting anything her son wants,“I want him to do whatever he wants to do. He’s six years old so education is first and if he wants to do fun things like this I’m all for it. He’s working on school and being good in school.”
 

 photo IMG_9861_zps49fd4892.jpg

Amar'e and his wife Alexis brought all four of their kiddies to the show of course.

"The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd brought her son Jeffrey Tarplay as she also opened the show.

She was rocking a wig from her own wig line and told us about trying to get pregnant with her husband, Sal.

“It’s always fun in the making; you have to embrace that part of it.”

She said about her super energetic son's intro to the fashion world, "I just hate that somebody told him he’s celebrity now he thinks he’s the one with the money. I’m gonna set him straight when we get home.”

Sherri revealed Jeffrey has a sensory overload sensitivity when he's around a lot of people due to previous developmental problems, but he rocked it out.

Po Johnson came out to support her bestie LaLa's son Kiyan.

HOME BOUND: Kanye West & Kim Kardashian CRUISING In $750K Lamborghini, CHeck On Their $11 Million Bel-Air Mansion

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted in their $750K Lamborghini Aventador heading to the site of their new Bel-Air digs.  Get deets on the property's construction inside.....

 

Kanye West And Kim Kardashian was spotted by the paparazzi and they drove to the exclusive enclave of Bel-Air, California where they're building their $11 Million love nest.  You'll recall that the couple purchased the property, where their new home is located, back in July for $10 million dollars.   

The new McMansion is being built from the ground up as Kim and Kanye opted to have the original mansion gutted so they could put their own touches on the new 10,000 square foot home.  According to the Daily Mail, the 3/4 acre estate is being outfitted with some of the most luxurious furnishings in the world including four gold-plated toilets ($772,000) and nearly $1.2 million on six special-edition Savoir Royal State Bed luxury beds.

If you're wondering why the beds are so expensive, they were created from a combination of cashmere, carded Virgin lamb’s wool and Mongolian horse hair.  In other words, unnecessary ish that makes Kim & Kanye feel good about life.

Adding to their exotic appeal, KimYe can brag that only 60 beds were created in honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee (and they own 6 of them).  

The finished project is expected to have a gym, movie theater, full hair and make-up salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool.  See pics of Kanye and Kim's check out the new mansion (with convenient paparazzi pics INSIDE the gated community) with the building contractor here.

Pop star Rihanna just released her sexy new ad campaign for her newest fragrance, Rogue by Rihanna. The girlish scent is described as a perfect blend of powerful and playful, encouraging women to live life on their own terms. Riri spoke about her latest scent saying,

"People are always changing and evolving, and with Rogue, my new fragrance, I wanted to switch it up to reflect who I am today. It's a personal fragrance that's more self-aware. It's Rogue, it's me.

"This scent embodies demure feminine qualities yet carries into an audacious new moment. I made it for all women, for every mood, because we all want to project our true selves."

In addition to contributing to her own smell-good, Rihanna designed the bottle to reflect her personality. The bottle has 6 spikes inverted at the base and rising into a soft rose gold collar and draped in a stingray-inspired motif at the cap.  So her....

In the fragrance's press release, perfumer Marypierre Julien revealed her inspiration for the scent,

"I was inspired to create a fragrance that is as spontaneous and direct as Rihanna is and emulates her bold approach to her life. She is not afraid to reveal her mischievous side, showing off her true powerful femininity."

RiRi was photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Mel Ottenberg in the sexy new shoot for the Rogue campaign.

Rogue by Rihanna will be available beginning September 2013 at Macy's, Dillards, and Belik.   Chick is stacking that paper.  Watch BTS video here:

Will Smith SHOWS Off His ABS And PECS While Working Out + Russell Simmons CLAPS BACK At Andre Leon Talley, "I've Done More For Blacks In Fashion & Gay Rights Than You"

Will Smith was spotted working out and flexing his abs and pecs during a recent movie shoot down in New Orleans.  Find out what he's filming inside and see Russell Simmons blast Andre Leon Talley for his "back row" approach to Blacks and gays in fashion.    

 photo willsm1.jpg

Earlier today, the paparazzi took several shots of Will Smith, who's looking extra buff, on the set of his latest film Focus. 

 photo wateh3.jpg

Set in New Orleans (and Buenos Aires), Will plays a con man who falls for a rookie con artist, Margot Robbie, while he's planning an elaborate theft. In between scenes, Will worked out with his trainer to maintain his movie star bod.  We like what we see.....

 

 

And in fashion beefs........

 photo AnnaSuiFrontRowFall08MBFWVVCd0OFUMIrl.jpg

Furs and cufflinks are flying across the room (and the internet) as fashion power houses Andre Leon Talley and Russell Simmons are involved in a nasty war of words.  

We told you about Andre Leon Talley suggesting that Russell be banned from the front rows of fashion and now Russell is having his say. Pulls out folding chair......

 photo russtweets.png

Bloop.

Does Uncle Russ make valid points.  Some may say Andre is clearly sitting on the back row for gay rights (refusing to identify as gay) and we don't recall him putting his neck on the line when Bethann, Naomi and Imancalled out the nation's top designers for the lack of diversity on the runway.  Even though he did co-sign later in an interview. 

 

The Randomness:

1.  Kanye West actually CHARGED for that July run-in with a paparazzo.  STORY

The cast photos for the third season of "Scandal" have been revealed and we have them for you inside.....

In anticipation of the third season of "Scandal", the cast photos have been revealed and it's ALL about the DETAILS.

When we last saw Olivia Pope, she'd been "outed" as the President's mistress and that's where the group photo picks up (atop).

While we see the cast posed in a room littered with Scandal(ous) headlines like (MISTRESS! LIAR! HERO! CRIMINAL!), it's the details of their "poses" that hint at what's to come.  

Pay attention to Mellie "watching" the President "watch" Olivia! Is Huck giving Quinn the side-eye? Why is Olivia in the corner looking unbothered? Is David Rosen more focused on becoming a rising star?

We guess we'll get answers when Shonda Rhimes returns.....

 photo 132836_1229_ful.jpg

It appears that Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope will weather the storm....quite fabulously.

 photo 132836_1777r1_ful.jpg

And Columbus Short's Harrison Wright (who appears "unaffected" in the group photo) seems equally unfazed in his solo shot.  He's not even wet!

 

In case you missed it.....

 

We'll get to watch all the drama unfold on THURSDAY OCT 3 10|9c on ABC.

"LAHH NY" stars Joe Budden and Tahiry Jose were spotted in the front row at the Alhassan Toure's “Coming to America” fashion show in the artistic Eyebeam space in NYC recently.

 photo tjoe1.jpg

The two were seated next to each other as they filmed scenes for the upcoming season of "LAHH NY".

Alicia Key's brother, Cole Cook, was among the models in the presentation.

 photo tjoe2.jpg

Initally, Tahiry walked the press line alone.....as she showed off her most famous body part.

 photo tjoe5.jpg

Once Joe showed up, she didn't seem pleased or thrilled to be snapped next to him.

 photo tjoe9.jpg

 photo tjoe3.jpg    

In fact, she pulled away and tried to avoid having her picture taken with him.

 photo tjoe8.jpg

But as usual, Joe seems to always have Tahiry within his grasp.  Obviously, this love story will continue to play out before our eyes.  

As we told you previously, Tahiry and Joe's love story will have "competition" from New Orleans, LA and Houston once the LAHH franchise expands into those cities.

 

 

 

And in foolywang.......

"Something in the water" ain't right with Gucci Mane.  Following his very "strange" Twitter rantthe rapper and his demons have spilled over into real life (offline).  

We're not sure what led to the confrontation, but now Gucci seems to be getting into it with average joes on the street.  A new online clip shows Gucci squaring up with a stranger at Lenox Mall in Atlanta.  There isn't much context to the "near brawl", but we have to admire a quick-tempered dude like Gucci walking around with no security.  We guess he really is gangsta....

Though Tamar Braxton and Kelly Price took the stage at Power V-103's 22nd Annual "For Sisters Only" concert in Atlanta, the big news was K. Michelle bailing on her performance!  See pics from the show inside and see what K. Michelle said about missing the show....

"The One" singer Tamar Braxton was among the talented divas who took the stage last night at the Georgia World Congress Center for the 22nd Annual For Sisters Only concert in Atlanta. While Tamar rocked the crowd and thrilled the Tamartians, her nemisis K. Michelle, who was also booked to performed, failed to hit the stage.  

Though fans were left without an explanation for the no-show, K. Michelle tweeted a tepid explanation for her absence (after the fact):

She also added a passive aggressive jab towards an unnamed third party saying, "Glad things were fixed in Fayetteville, NC. Y'all rocked!" We don't know who that last tweet was directed towards, but someone had their -ish together in NC.....but dropped the ball in GA! 

We hope K's fans will accept the "technical issues" excuse.  But some folks may think she was trying to avoid a run-in with Tamar. Also, Tamar's cameras were rolling for "Tamar & Vince" and we're sure K. Michelle WAS NOT going to sign that release form! 

 

Meanwhile.......

Tamar took pics with tons of fans and celebs who stopped backstage to salute her.  Dr. Jackie from "Married To Medicine" was among the many folks who took pics with her.

Tamar's good friends Kandi Burruss, Toya Wright, and Shekinah also stopped by to say hello.

Kandi and Kelly also took pics with "R&B Divas ATL" star Nikki Gilbert and "LAHH ATL" star Erica Dixon.

Erica was also spotted with Keke Wyatt. Earlier this week, Keke was spotted in Chicago at Jennifer Hudson's32nd birthday party.

Erica also posed with a shirtless Bobby V.  We guess it was hot backstage.

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson walked down the aisle on Saturday, with power couples Jay Z Beyonce and Gabrielle UnionDwyane Wade in attendance.  Get deets about the lavish wedding inside....

Among the celebs at the wedding were Neyo and power couple Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.  Gabrielle and Dwyane posted a pic of themselves headed to the festivities with the caption "Swoon #love #wedding".

Chris and Adrienne Bosh were also there. Adrienne tweeted, "What a wonderful evening!! Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. James...Thanks for sharing Ur night & love with us @SavannahRB @KingJames"

US Weekly reported that Beyonce and Jay Z flew in to surprise the newlyweds and Bey performed "Crazy in Love" with a full band. It was a VERY special appearance from Bey as she's currently on tour overseas, and had just performed at "Rock In Rio" on Friday.  We're sure she flew out soon after the wedding as she's due to perform in Sao Paulo on Sunday.

Fans of the couple will recall that LeBron proposed to Savannah on New Year's Eve at a 2012 Remy Martin V party hosted by Dwyane and Gabrielle in Miami. Since then, we've watched Savannah step out of her shell and become both a red carpet staple and budding philanthropist. We also watched her celebrate her final days as a single woman with a fabulous "Last Fling Before The Ring" party in Las Vegas!

From the details we picked up from the wedding  invitation, we know the couple has planned a beautiful farewell brunch for their guests. We look forward to the pics.
