The fastest man in the world just entered the race to win Rihanna's heart.  Watch Usain Bolt profess his love for RiRi inside and see how her "twerk" video "moved" him....

 photo usainrir3284.png

Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, who's widely regarded as the fastest man in the world, was clearly mesmorized by "Pour It Up" singer Rihanna, who posted a viral twerk video a few days ago.  Usain, who hails from Jamaica, told Twitter that Riri has the moves that remind him of home and he's ready to jump some damn hurdles and run the 100m to her heart.

Besides Twitterverse, Usain is continuing his campaign and told TMZ yesterday that he was in love with Rihanna.  And he's being oh so real about it.

 

 

While it remains to be seen (on Instagram and Twitter) if Rihanna will respond to Usain.....we have learned that Twitter love does work!  Look at Nick Young and Iggy Azalea!  And Andre Drummond and his Nickelodeon star infatuation turned girlfriend! 

SIDEBAR:  Let's all pretend that the Chad and Evelyn situation never happened...

"CrazySexyCool" star Evan Ross took his girlfriend to a few stores in L.A. to get a jump on their Christmas shopping.  The twosome seem attached at the hip these days going everywhere together.  So we can only wonder if wedding bells will be ringing around the same time as the Christmas silver bells...

Last night in Atlanta, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey unveiled her brand new doll, the BAILEY DOLL, which is part of the Bailey Agency.  Check it out inside and her celeb friends who came to support...

Just in time for your stocking stuffers...Model Cynthia Bailey has cloned her good looks into a toy version of herself (loosely based, of course) called the Bailey Doll. And last night at an intimate launch party, she brought in her friends and fam like hubby Peter Thomas and fellow reality star Erica Dixon to celebrate the big event. 

She says about launching the new doll, which now has a special collector's 'Prettie Girls' signature edition for purchase:

I’m elated at the opportunity to work with Stacey McBride-Irby and The One World Doll Project to design a doll that will expand my message and the overall mission of The Bailey Agency School of Fashion to be confident, to feel empowered and to always be inspired.

Cute!

 photo blo2_zpsfce7c9bc.jpg

Peter kept it supportive and rocked his own afro wig to match the doll.  Ha!

 photo blo5_zps0fb37711.jpg

And so did a few of her kid models, who are all under the age of 10.  Cute!

Nicci Gilbert, Derek J, and a few of Cynthia's friends came out to support.

SPOTTED: Kanye West & His Chick (And LaLa) Head To The "YEEZUS" Concert At Barclays

 photo chestb2.jpg

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted leaving Kanye's Soho pad, which apparently has not been sold yet, en route to the Barclays Center for his "Yeezus" tour date last night.  See pics inside....

 photo chestk1.jpg

Kanye West's "Yeezus" tour came through New York last night where he rocked the stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.  For the big night, Kim selected a cleavage baring sheer blouse, because we didn't see enough of her boobage in 'Ye's "Bound 2" video.

Since the weather in NYC was less than 40 degrees, Kim covered her nips with a thick black overcoat. Also, Kim's besties Lala Anthony and Jonathan Cheban were seen with the couple.

La kept it sexy in the cold weather in this black ruched & wrapped dress:

 photo lalaconcert2_zpsf5698a7c.jpg photo lalaconcert1_zps28fcb696.jpg

And it looks like Kanye is still heavy on this mission to convince Anna Wintour to put his girl on the cover of VOGUE...for whatever reason.  Because he made sure Anna was sitting front and center at the concert.

 photo article-2510629-1989A80800000578-248_634x470_zps682acc78.jpg

The VOGUE head honcho herself popped up at Barclays, with her usual shades and unimpressed look.

While in NYC, Kanye made an under-the-radar trip to Barneys on Madison Ave where he dined at Fred's.  Despite the flack Jay Z has received for his association with Barneys, Kanye, who's selling confederate flag t-shirts in LA, is making his statement about the embattled luxury retailer in a different way.  He was also spotted shopping at Barney in LA (wearing his Confederate flag jacket) a few weeks ago....

STING: Beyonce ON THE SET Of New Video Rocking A Hot Burberry Vinyl Trench Coat

 photo beyvideo2_zpsf9b9cb30a_zpsf970326c.jpg

Beyonce Knowles is back in NYC gearing up for the next North American leg of her world tour.  But she's not using her off time popping Bons Bons and Popeye's at home with Blue Ivy....she's shooting several new videos.

 

Check out the busy Bey on the set inside...

We know that walk from anywhere.  Beyonce was on another set of another video in NYC late last night.  And the "Diva" singer braved the cold and stomped along in her metallic silver pumps and her Burberry vinyl trench coat with gold metal plate embellishments.  Just those two items alone cost more than most mortgages.  And she looks worth every penny.

No word on which song exactly she's shooting a video for, but if history is any indication, she's shooting videos for every song on her upcoming album.  And she's doing it all at once.

Bey rolls to Vancouver on November 30th to kick off this next leg of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.

Werk!

TV FAB: Dwyane Wade INKS Deal With FOX For Semi-Autobiographical Comedy On Fatherhood....But Will Siohvaughn And Gabrielle Be Part Of The Script?!

NBA star is turning his life story into a comedy for FOX.  Find out what the show will be about inside....

 

NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade (shown above with sons Zion, Zaire and nephew Dahveon) is turning his New York Times best-selling bookA Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball into a half-hour comedy for FOX!

According to THR, the upcoming show "Three the Hard Way" is inspired by the life of Dwyane.  It will center on NBA superstar "Daryl Wade" and"...his entourage of eccentric friends who find themselves parenting by committee after he gets full custody of his two young sons. It's a recipe made for disaster but no matter how misinformed, misguided or unfit Team Wade may be, they have a trump card that can't be cut lose: love."

"Burn Notice" writer Ben Watkins will pen the script while Dwyane will serve as executive producer through his newly launched ZZ Productions banner.

 photo gammsddjd.png

While we're looking forward to a family-friendly show, we wonder if Dwyane and the writer's will "keep it 100" and include some baby mama drama (Siohvaughn Wade and her street sign in downtown in Chicago) and maybe a glamorous movie star allegedly breaking up Daryl's home (paging Gabrielle Union!).

Meanwhile, Gabby (shown above in a Dolce & Gabbana dress and Brian Atwood shows at the 19th Annual Concert Against Hate in DC recently) won't be interested in playing herself, if so, for obvious reasons.  Plus, she'll be starring in Being Mary Jane on BET starting January 7th.

First Lady Michelle Obama Hits "106 & Park" + Forest Whitaker, Sanaa Lathan & Anthony Mackie In "Repentance" (TRAILER)

First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by "106 & Park" to promote education and President Obama's"North Star Goal".  Watch the interview inside and see Anthony Mackie, Sanaa Lathan and Forest Whitaker in "Repentance".

 photo bowflo4.jpg

First Lady Michelle Obama, looking trendy in Burberry’s ‘Fitted Nappa Leather Jacket’ with Melange wool trousers’ and a black and white graphic tee, appeared on a special 1-hour episode of "106 & Park" yesterday. 

And she was there to tout President Obama's "North Star" goal to place America back at number one as the country with the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Mrs. Obama engaged in a discussion with the audience alongside Jeff Johnson and hosts Bow Wow and Keshia Chante.

 photo bowflo5.jpg

The First Lady told the audience of teens, "I want all people to understand that there is nothing more important they will do for themselves than to focus on their education. It starts with taking high school seriously, doing your homework and being in class on time."

 photo bowflo6.jpg

She added,"I have to say, I was a pretty serious student … I wanted to make sure that I didn't peak in high school. You don't want your best days to be in high school. I wasn't doing too much partying in high school, I was trying to get myself into college."

School 'em Mrs. O!

 photo bowflo1.jpg 

 

 photo bowflo2.jpg

The First Lady ended by sharing with the audience that you never stopping learning, growing or questioning yourself.  "I'm still discovering what I want to be. I'm still thinking about what I want to do when I leave the White House." 

But she is looking forward to one thing after this Presidential term is over.  She revealed, "Anonymity. Being able to walk out your front door without agents and … go to CVS to buy some toothpaste."  We doubt you'll EVER have that level of anonymity again Mrs. O...

Peep the videos below:

The First Lady's advice to her younger self....

 

At the movies.....

Forest Whitaker is putting Hollywood on notice.  We already expect him to get an Oscar-nod for "The Butler", and after you watch the trailer for Repentance, it's pretty obvious that he's gunning for a nomination in 2015 too (provided the Academy or others don't overlook this flick). 

The film stars Forest with Sanaa Lathan, Anthony Mackie, Mike Epps and Nicole Ari Parker and it's a scary thriller.  Here's the synopsis:

"Years after a drunken car crash that almost took his life, Thomas Carter has reinvented himself as a therapist/spiritual advisor who advocates a synthesis of world religions and positivity. He's parlayed this vocation into a successful book release that one day draws the attention of Angel Sanchez, a profoundly troubled man fixated on the "untimely" death of his mother. When Carter takes on Sanchez as a personal client in an effort to raise funds for his indebted brother Ben, things quickly take a turn for the worse. Angel needs much more than a simple life coach."

The movie drops in February 2014.  Check out the exciting trailer above....

Drake's been hitting the gym hard lately.  And he showed off the fruits of his fitness labor recently right before his show.  Check out a shirtless Drake inside, plus the latest report about Chris Brown's alleged antics...

Your fave emo-rapper is working on his hard body these days.  Right before he took the stage on his Oakland Would You Like A Tour stop last night, Drizzy's trainer Roxx posted a pic of his sexy progress after a pre-show mini workout.

We see that six-pack emerging Drake...

He seems like the type to do push-ups and dumbbell curls to Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope album....

But there's not so good news for Drake's frenemy Chris Brown.

The alleged reason why Breezy left rehab after only 2 weeks has been revealed.  TMZ reports he was asked to leave by the facility after he got violent inside the rehabilitation center.  According to reports:

Chris Brown went into a VIOLENT RAGE while in rehab earlier this month for his anger issues ...  throwing objects and breaking them ... and we've learned the D.A. will use this and other incidents later today in court to make the case that he belongs in jail ... NOW.

Chris is facing the judge today at 5p EST in L.A. over this whole alleged scenario. 

Deep sigh...

Chris Brown -- Ordered BACK To Rehab For 90 Days, Holds Hands With Karrueche In Court!

 photo ScreenShot2013-11-20at63912PM_zps9c757a41.png

Chris Brown should thank his lucky stars he wasn't ordered to confinement in jail with all his latest antics. The judge just ordered him to 90 days BACK in rehab...

A judge has ordered Chris Brown BACK to rehab...and this time he MUST stay put for a full 90 days.

Chris had to face the music again today after that arrest in D.C. recently that possibly violated his probation stemming from his 2009 assault on Rihanna

Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray told the judge today she wanted his probation revoked and him back in jail.  (By the way, Chris may still have to go back to DC on Monday for a hearing due to the charge.)

But Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin ordered Chris to rehab and more community service instead.  He must serve three months at a court approved facility, and will leave the facility 3 times a week to perform 8 hour shifts of community service.  This will complete the 1,000 hours he was originally given after the Rihanna incident.

Earlier, there were reports of Chris having a violent outrage during his recent voluntary rehab stint, which supposedly caused him to get kicked out of after 2 weeks.  The report has surfaced, and Chris has been accused of throwing rocks at his mother's car and shattering glass.  Apparently, he became extremely upset with his mom after she visited for a family session and encouraged him to stay longer.

Meanwhile, girlfriend KarruecheTran was right there by his side in court and holding her man's hand before the hearing.  They were also spotted leaving out together.

Chris is due back in court December 16th to look further into the D.C. incident. 

Check out the video of Chris receiving his orders below:

Earlier today, Jay Z posted an announcement on his Life + Times site announcing a new venture between Roc Nation and Jeezy's CTE imprint. He said, "CTE x Roc Nation x It’s Tha World".  

Is this a production deal/management deal/artist's deal?  We're not sure about the nature of the arrangement, but we know Jeezy will be throwing up the Roc every now and then.  We'll keep you posted...

Black Panties will feature appearances from Ludacris, Kelly Rowland, 2 Chainz, Jeezy, Future, Migos, and Juicy J.

27-year-old Solange is taking her love for her print, pattern & color mixology and bringing it to sneakers.  She's just been named as an Art Director & Creative Consultant for PUMA!

Her first creative project has been her duties as artistic director for the Girls of Blaze Disc Collection.  She tapped four emerging designers for a collaboration on four different versions of the iconic PUMA shoe the Disc Blaze.  And this one is made for the first time for women.  That collection hits stores February 2014.

 photo solange-puma1_zpsbb2afa34.jpg

And she's not just helping out with sneaker design, she's curating artistic design for PUMA's campaign's as well.  In another new project, she tapped four women she believes everyone should know in a new PUMA campaign.  From an NYC event planner to a major art director to a personal stylist at Saks, we're getting a cool look at fresh faces who are changing the art & party culture.  Check out the campaign HERE.

 

She posted to her social media accounts today:

After years of art directing my own projects and visuals, including music videos, photo shoots, album artwork and web content among many others, I am extremely excited to announce that I am now able to apply my passion for all things design into my new roll as an Art Director for the iconic PUMA!!!

It is in my new role that I am able to express my love for not only design but the conception of creative ideas, and the execution of them by curating amazingly talented teams. I’ve had so much fun producing special content, ad campaigns, events, and working alongside the awesome Puma team with some of my favorite emerging artists, photographers, graphic designers to create activations that really celebrates both mine and PUMA’s approach and philosophies.

Over the summer, I paired four incredible designers (GERLAN, WILLIAM OKPO, HISHAM BAROOCHA) to interpret a personal favorite of mine, the classic Puma Disc. Each designer incorporated and infused it with their own distinctive aesthetic to present our collection, “GIRLS OF BLAZE”, inspired by the sights and sounds of Brazil. I couldn’t be more excited about the results. The shit is wild, and come February I hope you will be just as in love as I am. This has been a dream job, and the ride has just begun!

 

Fab news for a fab chick.  Congrats Solo!

"Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes has signed with Simon & Schuster to write what's described as "part memoir, part inspiration, part prescription." Set for release in 2015, the book will plot Shonda's decision to build a family and the challenges of being a single mother while striving for professional success. When asked about the deal, Shonda said,

“Simon and Schuster is crazy for giving me a book deal, as I am clearly in no position to be handing out wisdom...I have made a lot of mistakes as a single mother, and as a working mother, and as a sleepless mother, and as a dating mother. And I did all of it while running a bunch of TV shows. So I'm going to write about that and hope my kids don't use it against me in therapy later."

Love her.

In other "Scandal" related news, one of our favorite directors, Ava Duvernay, is helming tomorrow night's episode of "Scandal" "Vermont is for Lover’s, Too”, Thursday 9pm CT on ABC.

Beyonce just gave the world a sneak peek of what to expect from her husband's Jay-Z For BARNEYS Holiday Collection.  Check out her pics inside, and news about their possible upcoming new collabo....

Posing in a black & white Moncler Leather Sleeve Puffer Varsity Jacket ($2,295), skin tight leggings and a Just Don Mixed Exotics Brooklyn Cap ($875), Beyonce showed her support for her husband's new charity project with BARNEYS.  And she made her way to the Shawn Carter Collection gallery inside Barneys where all the Holiday Collection merchandise is on display. 

BARNEYS stated:

For all those itching to get their holiday shopping started, this one’s for you: the New York Holiday collection is available now in the BNY SCC Gallery, an in-store space that will offer the pieces masterminded by Shawn ‘JAY Z’ Carter and the likes of Balenciaga, Balmain, Lanvin, and more. The BNY SCC Gallery is a masterpiece in itself; conceived by renowned French visual artist Joanie Lemercier under the direction of Mr. Carter and Barneys New York Creative Director Dennis Freedman, the interior of the space will be projected with an original film for a 360-degree experience. The multi-dimensional film, shot over three months in Brooklyn and Manhattan, portrays spectacular visuals that take visitors through a journey from New York’s underground through the city and beyond.

And in the spirit of the holiday season, Barneys New York is proud to donate 100% of sales from the collection to the Shawn Carter Foundation, a New York-based charity which awards post-secondary scholarships to students facing socio-economic hardships. Additionally, to celebrate the launch today, Barneys New York will donate 10% of all sales from flagship stores and Barneys.com to the Shawn Carter Foundation. Now if that doesn’t get you in the mood for the holidays, we’re not sure what will…

 photo ScreenShot2013-11-20at91417PM_zps1c663b29.png

Looks like she copped the Hoorsenbuhs Gold New York City Ring ($12,500) ring as well.

 

Jay announced he's moving forward full force with his Holiday collabo with the luxe retailer after the racial profiling debacle.  So it looks like he's about to start tapping his celeb friends (and wife) to help him promote it, all in the name of the Shawn Carter Foundation.

Meanwhile, Bey's been shooting new music videos, and apparently working on a brand new song and video with her husband, Mr. Carter.

Irv Gotti, friend to the couple, posted a sip of tea saying:

Looks like a follow up to their "On The Run" track may appear on Bey's upcoming album.  Is "Drunk Love" the title?  Time will tell...

 

UPDATE:

 photo scc3_1_zps1669db73.jpg

Now that Jay's NEW YORK HOLIDAY collection has kicked off, here's a snapshot of everything offered:

Congrats on the journey Tami!

And by the way, Tami addressed the unfounded Twitter reports that she has bleached her skin.  Her rant was NSFW, but we're letting you know it's nothing true about them.

A few pics surfaced online that showed a super light Tami, but it's clearly overexposed camera shot and lighting.  She's posted recent pics since those pics and she is her usual complexion. 

By the way, she'll be returning as a co-host on "Tiny Tonight" on November 26th on VH1.

Former Destiny's Child member LaTavia Roberson and former member of 702, Meelah Williams, have joined "R&B Divas: Atlanta", TheYBF.com has exclusively learned.  We've got the FIRST deets inside...

This upcoming season of "R&B Divas" will be more than interesting as fresh new blood has entered the crew of ladies.  Now that Nicci Gilbert and Faith Evans are OUT, Kameelah "Meelah" Williams and LaTavia Roberson are IN.  And so are their children's fathers!

Inside sources tell us that YBF chick Meelah, our fave member of the 90's/early 2000's group 702, is bringing her 'Steelo' to the hit TVOne show. 

The ladies began shooting earlier this month, and things are already off to a good & juicy start.  We've learned that Meelah and the father of her 4-year-old son, Musiq Soulchild, have been living together in Atlanta for years.  Who knew?! 

And Mr. SoulChild has already filmed a scene or two for the show. 

Their son, Zac, can be seen in the cute Halloween video below:

And you may recall that new mom LaTavia was shooting her own reality show this past spring.  But, we're told she was convinced that joining an ensemble cast like "R&B Divas" would be a better choice. 

So the former D-Child diva is bringing her story to the new season.  And her new 3-month-old baby girlLyric, as well as her child's father, Don Vito, will also appear.  We know which deets we want to hear, so hopefully she BRINGS it.

Here's a little peak at Lyric chillin' with Auntie LeToya Luckett the day she was born.  How sweet!

The new season of "R&B Divas: Atlanta" will air early 2014.  Will you be watching?

TheYBF.com has the exclusive premiere of "Leave You Alone", the first visual from Omarion's Care Package 2 project. Directed by TopShelf Jr., and produced by ArtClub, the clip shows the sexy singer in the throws of agony over a lost love.  

While promoting the project, Omarion talked to Billboard.com about the new disc and admitted that a B2K reunion isn't out of the question.

On CP-2:

"People haven't been calling it a mixtape. They've actually been calling it my album, which is amazing because I put it together like an album."

On his former B2K bandmates:

"They always check up on me and congratulate me. They fully support what I have going on which is great because when you're a kid and majority of your life is on the road, you never fully understand how it affects the people around you. So, to look back on that and know I still have the support of those guys is an amazing feeling."

On reuniting with B2K:

"I feel like those types of reunions are cliche. Most of the time, it's because they have to. It's not totally out of the picture though. My fans know me from that. What I did with them will always be a part of me."
 

Watch "Leave You Alone" here:

"Person Of Interest" star Taraji P. Henson, shown atop outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City for an appearance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman', opened up about the demise of her beloved character Detective Joss Carter.

Shockingly, the filmstar revealed that she always knew her character would be killed off.

"I knew when I signed on to the project that the character would have a beginning, middle and end. Because me, I do more feature films and television is really not my thing...So I thought it would be the perfect venue for me to do a television show and not be stuck for seven years and still be able to do...whatever. I just didn't know when."

Despite knowing her fate, Taraji had to keep it a secret. "Oh my god, the secret is out, I can live my life! I felt like I've been hiding a secret, keeping a secret from my lover!"

Taraji did tell someone. Guess who?

"My mom, she knew, and my grandmother. Cause you can't shock grandma like that, she might go into cardiac arrest."

 

On social media, Taraji retweeted a few responses to her character's death on her timeline....

Ashanti is handing out lapdances these days....since she's single and all.  Peep what she had to say about her single status and why she's keeping her romantic life private...

 photo SF7jXRRO_zpsaebe4e92.jpg

Fab chick Ashanti brought her curves an her Momager Tina Douglas to "Bethenney" this week to talk relationships.  Which means she talked about why she WON'T talk about them (which explains why she and Nelly always acted like kissing strangers).  And she explained why she's happily single:

"I am, I am happy because there is so much going on and now I can focus on what I need to focus on which is my career, my music and speaking to women very powerfully.... [Relationships are] a distraction. It's kind of a distraction because it's like, 'Where are you? What time are you coming home?' Alright, but I have to go to studio. Okay, but I'm going to. You know what I mean?"

And about why she's so super secretive about her dating life:

"I think for me personally there are certain things that you want to keep to yourself, you give little hints here and there and whatever but being in the public eye you get judged on everything you do so you kind of have to have a little bit to yourself and when you feel comfortable you let little things out as they come out."

Check out a couple video sneak peeks below:
