Last night, Floyd Mayweather won his 45th straight fight as he ended with a 12-round majority decision over Mexican boxing champ Saul Alvarez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The 36-year-old champion pocketed a purse worth an estimated $41.5 million in what ESPN called the "richest event in boxing history" and what insiders predict will challenge the all-time pay-per-view record of 2.44 million buys (a record Floyd set in 2007 when he battled Oscar De La Hoya).

The champ told ESPN,"Canelo is a young, strong champion. A great Mexican champion. I take my hat off to him and to Mexico. He can take a loss and bounce back. Seventeen years, and I'm still going strong. I think had I pressed the attack earlier, I could have gotten the stoppage, but I am very happy with my performance."

In the latest teaser, we see Nene planning her over-the-top wedding with classic lines like "This is a love story story that turned into a horror story" and 'My idea of my dream wedding (is) fabulous, over the top. I'm just going to spend what I can spend. Start at a million dollars and I'm sure we're going to go way past."

The most interesting part of the teaser includes a few scenes with Greg's adult children who don't appear to be fans of their "soon-to-be" stepmother.  Watch the clip above.....

Willow Smith just helped Queen Latifah premiere her new talk show this afternoon.  Check out the youngest of the Smith clan belting out her possibly-too-grown "Summer Fling" track, plus Daft Punk's new "Lose Yourself To Dance" vid featuring Pharrell, and Azaleia Banks finally coming through with new music "Count Contessa"....

Willow Smith performed her single "Summer Fling" with her band Melodic Chaotic today on "The Queen Latifah Show".  Since Willow's mom and dad, Will & Jada Pinkett Smith, are the show's Executive Producers, it's no surprise they slipped in a bit of promo for their 12-year-old Willow.

As for this new "group" Willow's formed to break out some adult-like music, it was described as:"Willow is Melodic on the vocals and DJ Fabrega is Chaotic on the beats."

Check out the extra long mullet with big bangs rocking Willow perform below:

 

In other music, Daft Punk , Nile Rogers' & Pharrell's summer anthem finally has a video.  You've seen clips of it on tv commercials, now here's the full shebang:

 

The track is another banger follow up to Daft Punk & Pharrell's other summer anthem "Get Lucky."  Fresh off the robotic french duo's Random Access memories album, everybody gets disco fever in the visuals for "Lose Yourelf To Dance."  Watch P front the band, Nile on bass guitar and Daft Punk on the beats--with everyone looking real sparkly--above.

 

 photo BUSgQ4NIMAEm_v_jpg_large_zps9389c298.jpg

And finally, Azealia Banks has taken a break from Tweefing with Lady Gaga and everybody else to reveal her new Roller Coaster magazine cover (above) and drop a new song. It's called "Count Contessa" and it will appear on her next project, Fantasea II: The Second Wave.  Azealia made it sound like that project will actually be her sophomore LP--so releasing music off a second LP before even dropping her first LP?  

Yep, she's already working on a follow up to her Fantasea mixtape since her debut studio album, Broke With Expensive Taste, got pushed back to early 2014.

Azealia said about the Lone-produced track,“It’s a song about a woman with a man’s physical strength. Like, literally. Hahaaa.  Count Contessa was a Dyke who won the fist fight with Muscle Mike.”

Check it out below:

If only she could stay off Twitter....

 

EXTRAS:

1.  The shooting in D.C.'s Navy Yard has resulted in at least 12 dead, including 1 shooter dead.  There is a possible second shooter.  The U.S. Senate has been locked down.  STORY

Mister Cee Stars In New SEXUAL FREEDOM & AIDS PSA + Mack Maine OFFICIALLY CHARGED For Allegedly Sexually Assaulting Female On Tour Bus

Mister Cee has taken his new sexual discovery (well, new to him...we all figured it out the first time he was arrested) and put it to good use.  Check out his new PSA he shot with the Aids Health Foundation inside.   And what he says about being sexually free...

Mister Cee has decided to make good out of his new scandalous sexual situation.  After being arrested again a few months ago for soliciting male prostitutes, and video proof leaking that presented indisputable evidence, Mister Cee has come clean about his sexual preferences.

So after he resigned from his job at Hot 97 last week, he shot a PSA for the AIDS Health Foundation. 

A couple interesting quotes from his enlightenment video:

"The decision I have made this week to open up about my sexuality has been the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life.  But I felt like this was the time to do it both personally and professionally."

He continued:

"For me, I felt worried about how my family would be affected, how my co-workers and my friends and even my fans would be affected by this decision.  Because in this hip hop community of ours, it's not cool to be gay. It's not cool to be bisexual.

 ...the more I kept lying and the more I kept trying to deceive you and myself, the more I was closed in.  And not being who I really am."

Cee said he's no longer being self contained...and he's exercising his right of sexual freedom.   And he encouraged others to do the same, while protecting themselves during this "sexual revolution".

We're glad you're now free Mister Cee.  Be you.

 

 

 

And in other news:

Mack Maine's alleged foolish antics aboard the Young Money tour bus has now landed him with criminal charges.  Back in August, a woman named Rachel Reed accused the YMCMB member of groping her and then punching her friend in the face while they were on board the tour bus in OKC.  She also claimed Mack Maine helped himself to squeezing her breasts....after reaching down her shirt.

The accuser's friend, Cailey Maddox, was punched after the accuser slapped Mack Maine and tried to get off the bus.  She says he broke her friend's jaw.

Fast forward to today....and Mack has officially been charged.  So things aren't looking for dude.

TMZ reports he's been officially charged with two felony criminal charges.  And is due back in court soon.

It's always the team members who are trying to hard that get everybody in trouble....

FOOLERY: Floyd Mayweather's Ex Fiance Shantel Returns Ringside...In Same Dress As His Daughter...Baby Mama Josie POPS OFF!

 photo jirahchantaljosie_zps2058c147.jpg

Uh oh!  It's a fashion faceoff between Floyd Mayweather's fairweather fiancee' and his daughter Jirah....and it's not a friendly one.  Especially since Jirah's mom Josie Harris is popping off about her daughter being dressed like a "gold digging hoochie"....

At this weekend's big fight in Vegas, Floyd Mayweather had all his chicks...and alleged chicks...front and center to watch hi battle it out with Canelo. 

But it was another fight going on with his baby mama Josie Harris and sometime-y fiancee Shantel Jackson (yep, the one Floyd allegedly believes was messing with 50 Cent while he was in jail and is the supposed reason why he and 50 are beefing currently).

 photo ScreenShot2013-09-17at81454AM_zpscea23f14.png

Shantel and Floyd had been broken up for a while, but all of a sudden, chick appeared ringside as Floyd's main chick for the $41 million match.  She posted plenty of pics in her hot pink belted Micheal Costello dress. 

But....Floyd's baby mom's Josie also had Michael Costello make a dress for daughter Jirah.  And it ended up being the same one as Shantel's.  Womp!

 photo 697819fe1de011e3bc0822000a1f9737_7_zps440081f2.jpg

Interestingly, Josie posted pics from that night--with her daughter in the pics--and didn't seem to have a problem showing off her baby girl.

 photo 84dad8bc1ddb11e3af3622000a9f17ea_7_zps77df0bee.jpg photo 23c125361ddb11e3aec022000ae80f8c_7_zps40a01cf0.jpg

She showed little Jirah posing it up with Floyd's extra random hype man Justin Bieber and with rapper Tyga

But it wasn't until now--possibly after she saw Shantel had on the same dress--that she had something to say about the too-grown dress.

Josie told TMZ she hired Michael Costello to make a "very special" $795 dress for Jirah (why though?).  And she flipped her sh*t when she saw Shantel show up in an exact replica.  And it didn't help the on-again off-again chick was sitting ringside as Floyd's main chick of the night.  Y'all know that will piss a baby mama off to the fullest.

Josie believes Chantel only came back for the money, and she's pissed her daughter looked like a gold digging hoochie replica:

Josie tells us, "It's an unspoken rule and a cardinal sin for a 'real designer' to dress clients alike going to the same major event ... Tacky, tacky, tacky."

And Josie didn't stop there, turning her anger toward Jackson as well ... adding, "She is a total gold digger ... She conveniently came back around 2 days before Floyd got his $41.5 million check."

Bloop!

As for Michael Costello--he says he's not refunding a damn thing.  Because if Josie wanted something exclusive, "she should have paid more."  Ha!
 

 

BONUS: Apparently, a couple pics that made fun of Floyd's rival Oscar de la Hoya going to rehab and his drug addiction were posted to Floyd's account after the fight.  Floyd sent out a statement today saying it was not his doing, and he does not condone whoever posted this to his account.  He also said he respects Oscar for getting help with his addiction and has no ill-will:

It's unfortunate that a stupid picture was posted to my Instagram account earlier today that was not posted by me or authorized by me to post.

As I clearly stated during my fight week and again in the post-fight press conference, I completely support Oscar De La Hoya and his family during this difficult time in his life. Although we have had our differences in the past, I stand by him unconditionally and would never personally disrespect him or anyone else who struggles with addiction.

I apologize to Oscar and his family for this posting. I wish him well and am rooting for him to win his fight too. I also apologize to all of my followers for this ridiculous post. I have no ill-will towards anyone and have repeatedly stated that I only seek positivity in my life and for others.

After a long two year engagement and six year relationship, the model bride rocked three different Vera Wang gowns throughout the wedding celebration.  And she gave folks a peek at two of them via Instagram pics:

Stunning.  She told E! News about why she just had to have three different dresses, “Every time I went in [to Vera Wang] for a fitting, I couldn’t stop getting one.  It’s just too pretty.”

And John showed off his sharp look as a groom right before the wedding as he and his groomsman took part in some pre-game action.  His G.O.O.D. Music Prez Kanye West was there for the nuptials as well, and model Brooklyn Decker served as Chrissy's maid of honor.

Congrats again to the newlyweds!

K-CI & JoJo Hint At JODECI REUNION (& New Jodeci Music On The Way) + Jaden Smith Tells Kids To Drop Out, Says School BRAINWASHES Youth

Get your new lingerie ready....because K-Ci & JoJo have revealed that they're in the studio recording new Jodeci music!  Get the deets on what the legendary group have in store and read Jaden Smith's controversial Twitter comments about the educational system and how it's destroying the youth.

 

If you've been feenin' for an R&B group who can actually sing to return tot he scene...good news! There will likely be new music from the foursome Jodeci very soon.  During an interview with HuffPost Black Voices to promote their latest album, My Brother's Keeper, K-Ci & JoJo revealed that they've been recording new music with DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin.  Yes, DeVante is sober enough to make some music, apparently.

In fact, K-Ci Hailey stated they "never broke up".    

"We are not getting back together, simple reason is we never broke up. [Laughs] We have a vault of CDs that we could just put out at any moment. But just like when Jodeci first came out, nobody expected that. And we’re just going to keep it that way. But for now, with the love from Mr. Dalvin and DeVante, they’re pushing me and JoJo. They’re like “do what you gotta do,” DeVante said; “I’m going to let y'all know when I’m ready. But y'all continue doing what y'all doing.” And actually, we’re in the studio right now. We record new Jodeci material every chance we get… So we’re just waiting on DeVante’s call."

K-Ci also said they'd consider reuniting with Diddy, if DeVante approved of it.  

"You never know, you never know. When it comes down to production for Jodeci, we leave that in the hands of DeVante himself. Just tell us what to sing. We all have input, but we leave that production part on him. He can have that job. I couldn’t handle it."

Read the full interview here.

In case you missed it.....

"Knock It Off" is the lead single from K-Ci & JoJo's My Brother's Keeper album hitting stores September 30th.  Anybody else excited for the return of Jodeci?

 

And in controversial Twitter rants.....

 photo JadenSmithJaydenTreySmithArriveLABwfnB-ffv85l_zpsd471b655.jpg

Jaden Smith's controversial critique of the US educational system has gone viral and has many parents outraged!  Because the Karate Kid star has an influential audience of teens who follow his tweets, his suggestions that the world would be a better place if "everyone" dropped out of school have many folks scratching their heads.  And, quite honestly, is just plain irresponsible.

 

 photo jadentweelldd.png

 

Because Jaden and Willow are home schooled, allegedly, we're not sure what makes him an expert in this area.  But we'll tip our hat to Will and Jada for raising a home full of "free spirited" thinkers.  You never know what will fly out of their mouths.  But maybe they should be urged to be a bit more responsible when speaking on public platforms. 

Not all opinions need to be put on Twitter.

DMX taped an episode with Dr. Phil yesterday and we have a pic of the duo inside, as well as Ciara's message to her fans about cyber bullying.

Yesterday, rapper DMX taped an appearance on "Dr. Phil" (atop) where he discussed his faith in God and other aspects of his life. We suspect Dr. Phil also asked him about his strings of arrests and why he was running through his hotel butt naked a few weeks ago. 

We expect the interview will show us a side of Earl Simmons that we've never seen before.  At least we hope.  We'll keep you posted about the air date....

 

And on Twitter.....

 photo ciaraddfffs.png

Ciara put her fists up and lashed out at a woman on Twitter/Instagram who had been bullying her.  Once Ciara noticed that a certain young woman was being nasty on Twitter, she retweeted a pic of the woman with the caption "Them Bangs? Seriously Them Bangs??:)… This Person Thinks It’s Cool 2 Talk About People All Day:) Not Cool!:)"

After insulting the chick's bangs, Cici had a "Come To Jesus" moment and apologized to her fans before lecturing them on hurting other people through social media.

She added....

She ended with a message for her 4 million followers about being supportive, "Kids. The Moral 2 The Story Is The Message Above.. Spend Less Time Bringing People Down, and Lift…"

"Glee" star Amber Riley took off her acting hat and threw on her dancing shoes for her big "Dancing With The Stars" debut last night.  And she's not the only one who killed it.  Check out Christina Milian's big performance from night 1 inside, and Keyshawn Johnson struggling through a stiff but potential-having performance....

Season 17 of "DWTS" kicked off with a bang last night in Hollywood.  The YBF contestants took the dance floor to kick off the competition for the Mirror Ball trophy.  Even Jennifer Lopez popped up in the audience....to cheer on her bestie Leah Remini who's also on the roster.

Our early fave: Amber Riley.  The curvy gal with the big personality posed it up with her mom before her performance (atop) and went on to cop the highest score of the night with partner Derek Hough.

Check out their Cha Cha below:

Yassss.  They got triple 9's from the judges.

 

Christina Milian had an emotional start to her rehearsals with partner Mark Ballas.  But she trudged through and gave a powerful performance:

 

 

And retired NFLer Keyshawn Johnson (cousin to Chad Jonson) with partner Sharna Burgess was....stiff:

 

He kept talking about how this dancing ish was a bit "feminine."  But he has the most potential to get better.  We hope...

 

And Corbin Bleu was another early fave of the crowd:

 

He and partner Karina Smirnoff nabbed a 24 out of 30.  Who knew Corbin actually had some talent outside High School Musical?

If you caught "Extra" last night on NBC, you would have seen me (Natasha) dishing TheYBF.com's exclusive that LeBron & Savannah James would be parlaying in Europe for their honeymoon this week.  And today, the picture receipts surfaced.

 

Check out the newlyweds arriving to Rome inside...

Just two days after their very private wedding in San Diego--complete with only their closest friends and family--NBA champ LeBron James was spotted at the airport in Rome with his new bride Savannah.

The couple looked relaxed & happy in their sweats and sneakers as they held hands after hopping off the plane.

The twosome were just in Europe a week before the wedding celebrating Savannah's 27th birthday yachting off the coast of France.  And they went back to their fave part of the world to get in some quality honeymoon time.  And hopefully they left mama Gloria and her boytoy "Lambo" back in Miami this time.

Congrats again to the newlyweds!

Now that NBA baller Paul Pierce is a Brooklyn Net, he and his fam are taking full advantage of NYC.  After hitting up NYFW last week, Paul, his wife and kids were all spotted chillin' on a family stroll through the city.

 

Pics inside...

35-year-old Paul Pierce brought his NBA veteran status to Brooklyn this summer.  And he's been taking advantage of the downtime before pre-season starts this October.

We've spotted him and his wife Julie Landrum Pierce and three kids Prianna, Adrian and Prince spending some cute family time together in the city once again:

Julie was spotted helping the oldest, 5-year-old Prianna, scooter her little self across the street.  And Paul was on daddy duty pushing 2-year-old Adrian and 4-month-old Prince in the stroller.

Gotta love the professional athletes who know how to be all about their kiddies...

It's become clear rapper Big Sean is taking advantage of the attention he gets from dating a tv star to help build his brand.  And the same goes for Naya Rivera.  So next up for the twosome--posing shirtless...and damn near shirtless...for a sexy Terry Richardson photoshoot.

 

Peep the pics inside...

Celebs go to Terry Richardson when they want a tongue-in-cheek photoshoot to add to their portfolio.  So rapper Big Sean & his tv star girlfriend Naya Rivera did just that. 

The twosome posed it up in a new shoot with their combat boots and their extra defined abs on display.  Naya rocked a crop top that barely covered her chi chis and the shortest denim shorts and hair in a pony for a sexy yet cute look.  And Sean kept it shirtless....as usual.

 photo tumblr_mt9wihK6du1qa42jro1_500_zps09012143.jpg

The "A$$" rapper helped Naya launch her singing career by appearing on her debut single "Sorry."  And  Naya's been Sean's arm piece for pretty much all the big industry events this last year.  So it's only right they continue to capitalize on their relationship with a set of sexy photos

The Detroit rapper snapped a few solo shots too, for all you fans who like the slim type, plus a few in a Detroit Red WIngs hocky jersey:

The 25-year-old rapper is currently in some hot water over his new "MILF" track off his Hall Of Fame album where Nicki Minaj is featured rapping from a toothless-on-welfare-baby-mama point of view.

And Naya is gearing up to release her debut studio album in 2014 via Columbia Records.

Waka Flocka confirmed to "The Breakfast Club" that he and his baby momma Tammy Rivera will be on the next season on "LAHH ATL".  Listen to the interview inside and see what he said about Gucci Mane having a mental illness.

 photo waka2.png

Waka Flocka stopped by Power 105 recently where he confirmed to The Breakfast Club that he and his fiancee Tammy Rivera will be featured on the next season of LAHH ATL and that he thinks Gucci Man has "lost his noodles".  Here are the highlights:

On Tammy:

I been with Tammy...till this day she ain't never asked me for a dollar.  Only thing she like is clothes.  She's obsessed with fashion....she'd trade in fashion for me.  

On "LAHH ATL":

I'm not doing LAHH, my fiancee doing LAHH.  I'll be on an episode or two.  

 photo wake44.png

On Tammy's rumored $500K salary:

That's cool....I won't have to buy anymore purses.

 

Once Tammy got wind of Flocka's interview, she tweeted a confirmation saying, "Cats Out The Bag".

Waka (shown above with Tammy and her daughter) also discussed Gucci Mane, saying he needs medical help.

On Gucci Mane:

He talk crazy. On Waka disloyal?  How?  I'm not even trying to talk bad.  I met this guy he had clay Jordans, cowboy boots and he was sleeping in an old school Chevy.  He lived at my mom's house for two years rent free.  When you not bigger than somebody...its like Bruce Lee and your sensei.  Your sensei loves you, but when you whip their ass...it's a different story.  

When I started going on tours, buying cars, buying jewelry....your conversation changed with me.  It messed with his ego.

On still being signed to Waka:

Man I been trying to buy that contract.  He's surviving off that money.  But I don't blame him.  Them ASCAP checks coming.  

On if he thinks Gucci will ever let him out of his contract:  

He ain't trying to get rid of that contract.  I want him to eat though.  I don't want him out like a bum.  But Gucci lost his noodles.  He really  needs medical attention.

Fantasia's vacaying in Barbados this week.  And the "Collard Greens & Cornbread" singer is showing off all that hard work she's been putting in at the gym....and showing off how happy she really is.

Before she embarks on her second Broadway production and the Soul Train Awards in November (where she's nominated for 3), singer Fantasia took some vacation time and hit up the beaches of Barbados this week.

The "Without Me" singer spent time with her friends, fam and team (no baby daddies or exes...that we know of) rocking her bikini and showing off that bod she's been working so hard on.

But first, she had to get in some twerking while the cameras watched.

 photo article-2424118-1BE2BF7D000005DC-269_634x1135_zps8ad7d047.jpg

She and her crew took a boat out to the middle of the ocean to jetski and other ish.

And after all that twerking, drinking, jet skiing and whatever else, Fanny got something caught in her foot and 20 people from her entourage swooped in to check it out. Very likely a rock...

ON THE BRINK: Tasha Marbury's Husband Stephon Reportedly Losing NYC Home To Foreclosure

NBA baller turned overseas baller Stephon Marbury is reportedly losing his NYC home, after having lost his L.A. home.  And it's all thanks to a little thing called foreclosure.  Can that new VH1 money is wife is bringing in help out?

 

Deets inside...

The newest "Basketball Wives" star Tasha Marbury may not have an NYC condo to dip in or film from any longer.  Because her hubby--we're still confused on their relationship status after all his publicized cheating, but they're not yet divorced--allegedly hasn't paid the mortgage and is now on the brink of foreclosure.

TMZ reports:

U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn't made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property ... which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars.

U.S. Bank wants Marbury to pay the full amount NOW, or get the hell out ... so the condo can be sold at auction.

Don't mess with the banks.  Especially since Stephon lost his L.A. home in foreclosure auction last year. 

Not sure if either half of the couple cares....as long as Tasha can keep filming her "BBW" show and Stephon remains in China playing ball.

By the way, if you're wondering how Tasha felt about her friend of 10 years and co-star, Evelyn Lozada, dishing that info about Stephon's affair(s) in her book Inner Circle....Tasha told VH1 this:

“I was a little taken aback by it. I thought as friends you would tell your friend if you’re writing a book or something you were going to put a portion of their life in a book, I think it was kinda wrong for her to do that. At the time she said that she didn’t think that it would come out or whatever the case may be. I don’t have a strong position on it either way. I found out the first day I filmed. I had no idea because I never read her book. It was kinda thrown at me. It has nothing to do with us being as close or cool as we were in the past. I’ve moved upward and onward from it. I don’t dwell on it. I can’t go back and erase it, but I’m not going to let that overshadow my life and stop me from being the person I am.”

Oh....

Paula Patton & NeNe Leakes made their way to the Bravo Clubhouse last ngiht for an episode of "Watch What Happens Live."  And the two actresses dished to Andy Cohen about pre-nups, fave parts on their husbands, and a little shade.

 

Check out pics and video inside, plus the full episode of "I Dream Of NeNe" in case you missed it...

 photo watch-what-happens-live-season-10-10048-gal-8_zpscc51dab8.jpg

The "Baggage Claim" actress and the "Glee" and "RHOA" star (yep, NeNe revealed she'll be returning next season) chopped it up with Andy about pre-nups last night on "WWHL."

While Paula said she and husband Robin Thicke don't have one since they met at 15 and got married super young, NeNe said she's ALL about that pre-nup.  The reality star dished:

"I just want the pre-nup to lay things out if something happens.  It's just a smart move.  I don't care what your polls say..."

Peep the video clip above.

 

A viewer also asked how long it took for Paula to wash off Miley Cyrus's funk off her husband's Beetlejuice outfit after their VMAs performance. 

Paula said her hubby's outfit was fly...and she wasn't surprised by the dance. She found it to be no big deal since the song is about taking Molly and dancing naked.

"What did people think was going to happen....Miley was going to be sitting and playing at a piano?"

Ha.  Check out the video below:

 

A few more pics from the show set:
