Our reporting about Jay Z and Bey's vegan challenge was spotted by the execs at PETA .  In response to Jay and Bey going vegan, the animal rights group issued this statement:

PETA praises Jay Z and Beyoncé for getting animals off their plates for 22 days and hopes that this great spiritual exercise will open their eyes to the suffering of all animals—including the wonderful ones who are killed not for the table but for a coat, a belt, or a bag.
 

It looks like Bey and Jay are handling the "challenge" very well.

Meagan Good posed for COMPLEX Magazine where she dished on reinventing herself in Hollywood and how she landed her role in Anchoman 2.  Here are the highlights:

Anchorman 2 is one of the most anticipated movies to come out in a long, long time. Does that make it nerve-wracking at all for you?

It’s nerve-wracking, in general, because I hadn’t done a whole lot of comedy, so there were parts of it that were very new for me. That part of it was nerve-wracking because you want to do a good job, and you’re a little bit nervous. It was great because [director] Adam McKay is just amazing—he creates this atmosphere where you can do no wrong, and you can just try stuff and trust your instincts. If it doesn’t, you don’t get shot down—it’s just like, “OK, let’s try something different.” It’s fantastic that he created that atmosphere, and all the guys helped with that because they’re all so nurturing. They want you to do well. If there’s any way you want to go into something new, I had the best-case scenario. Everyone was so supportive and sweet.

 photo complexmeagan2.jpeg

Was this a tough role to land? Playing Ron Burgundy’s new love interest seems like a role that every actress in Hollywood would want to chase after.

It was the strangest thing, because I was in New York and I was filming Deception. I heard that they were officially going into making Anchorman 2. I got the script and the sides and just said to myself, “OK, I’ll just send in my audition tape and see what happens.” I got a call about a week later; they were like, “Do you think you can come to New York to do a chemistry read with Will?” And I was like, “Do you mean will I walk on foot right now from Atlanta? Because if so, then yes.” [Laughs.]

I got in, did the chemistry read, it went amazing. Will was very sweet and supportive; I kind of beat him up in the audition, and threw him around the room a little, and he let me. About a week later, they called me and say, “Hey, you got the part!” And I just was blown away, and so appreciative. I started thanking God immediately. I know there were a lot of people up for it, and I know it was all God. I just feel like…I was just excited. I was over the moon.

 photo complexmeagan1.jpeg

 photo comsmall2.jpeg photo comsmall1.jpeg

Earlier in your career, your sexuality was a big selling point, from 50 Cent’s “21 Questions” video to playing the sexy love interest in various movies. How do you feel about that time in your life?

When I got into my 20s, I was fighting for people to see that the little girl from Friday and Eve’s Bayou wasn’t a little girl anymore. That’s why my career took the “sexy” turn. By my mid-20s, it had backfired. I was always playing the sexy roles. It was hard for me to be taken seriously as a good actress. I had to fight my way out of that box that people put me in.

 photo commalls4.jpeg photo comsmall3.jpeg

Playing the female lead in an Anchorman sequel must feel like a huge accomplishment.

It does. I’m just now getting into my 30s, and this is the best I’ve ever felt inside and the best I’ve ever looked. I’m so ready. It’s like reliving your 20s but so much better, with a stronger sense of who you are and who you’re not. Because of that, I’ve never felt sexier. It’s a whole new kind of “sexy” turn for me.

Read the full interview here and catch Anchorman 2 in theaters on December 18.

It's Janelle Monae like you've never (well, at least rarely) seen here.  The gorgeous CoverGirl spokesmodel celebrated her 28th birthday in Jamaica, and tapped into her super girly side.

 

Pics inside...

Before she rocked around the Christmas tree at the National Tree Lighting in D.C. a few nights ago, Janelle Monae trekked it to Jamaica to celebrate her b-day.  The gorgeous "Electric Lady" turned 28 on December 1st, so she rolled to the Carribean to make it a special occasion with friends.

She stepped out of her usual black and/or white pants and blouses look to get a little flirty in a black & white cocktail dress with cut-out sides.  And she looked super cute!

 photo cakecan1_zps84b5716b.jpg

Janelle and her flawless face have been having the best month ever.  She copped the Soul Train Music Award for Video of the Year, is killing it on her Electric Lady tour, and was also praised with accolades by the Obamas....personally.  She said:

First Lady & Pres called me "electric lady" & they have and love the album. :-) cheeks hurt !

Sweet!  Happy belated birthday Janelle!

DO YOU BOO: Hoda Kotb Flosses Her Toned 49-Year-Old Bikini Body In Miami

Who knew 49-year-old Hoda Kotb was hiding a hot body underneath her conservative clothes on "Today Show"?  The Egyptian 4th hour co-host was spotted getting away from the cold and snowy New York weather and chillin' on Miami Beach this weekend.

 

Pics inside...

When you're looking this good and happy one year away from turning 50, you should by all means flaunt it.  Journalist and "Kathie Lee & Hoda" co-host Hoda Kotb rocked her blue & white bandeau bikini and flowy white sarong as she hit up the beaches of Miami during Art Basel.

We don't get to talk much about Hoda, but looking fab and having a pretty long career in journalism is indeed worthy of talking about:

Kandi Burruss Breaks Down In Tears On "WWHL" After FOOLISH Mama Joyce SHOE FIGHT On "RHOA", Fantasia Hits Up The Show

 photo fannykandi1_zps2eef8d26.jpg

Sigh.  Where do we begin?  After Mama Joyce's foolywang behavior on last night's episode of "RHOA", Kandi Burruss went on "WWHL" to chop it up with Andy Cohen and Fantasia about where she and her mom stand now.  MUCH to discuss.

 

Check out recaps inside....

 

 photo fannykandi9_zps7a9bb754.jpg

So Kandi got all emotional when speaking about why she won't put her foot down when it comes to demanding rspect from her mother, Joyce.  And apparently, she hasn't done so with her aunts either.  They took over last night's episode like the Golden Girls division of the Crips & Bloods.  Straight bullying and fighting...or at least attempting to.  And then lying about it. (That recap is below.)

When Kandi hit the "WWHL" club house last night, a caller asked her the obvious question we all know the answer to.  A caller wanted to know if Kandi thought her mother was being so overly judgmental, rude and disrespectful with Todd because she's concerned about how much of Kandi's money SHE will now have access to, Kandi acted like she didn't understand the question.  Of course.

She went into defense mode and broke down in tears saying that she will always take care of her mom because her mom took care of her.  She further revealed that even though her mother isn't speaking to her right now, she will still always take care of her monetarily.

What Kandi doesn't get is, nobody has an issue with her taking care of her mother.  But many have an issue with the way her mother treats her and her loved ones....ESPECIALLY when Kandi takes care of her.  So until Kandi grows a pair and lays down the law in a respectful way--even if that means giving her mama an ultimatum--she will be single and friendless come 2015 and beyond.  Check the video below:

And if you're wondering if Mama Joyce has found a man of her on finally, Kandi talked about her mom's dating life.  Apparently Joyce is "dating someone right now".  Yeah, we're shocked as well.  Check it:

Kandi also revealed that comment that NeNe's friend Chuck said on last night's episode about Kandi being his "one hit wonder" when they dated....is so not true.  And we'll find out more about it later...

 

Phaedra called in to the show last night to dispel rumors of her being a "head doctor" after NeNe threw her under the bus on last night's episode saying that's what she was known around school for:

And pics from the club house fun are below:

 photo fannykandi7_zps7495bd73.jpg

Kandi rocked an Alexander McQueen dress and Saint Laurent ankle strap pumps.

 

 

 photo fannykandi8_zpsac1188b1.jpg

Fantasia kept it chic in a dress by T’Shanell Fashion and Louboutin pumps.

 

 photo fannykandi3_zpscaceb3e5.jpg

 photo fannykandi5_zpsec367e9b.jpg

 photo fannykandi2_zps9460bd78.jpg

Kandi's also going to be starring in a new musical called NEWSical off-Broadway in Manhattan.

 

As for MaMa Joyce's foolywang behavior on last night's episode, not sure why we were shocked....but we were.  For whatever reason, she & her sisters (Kandi's aunts) showed up to Kandi's first wedding dress fitting even though none of them support Kandi and Todd getting married.  The first comments out Joyce's mouth were, "Well she aint gonna wear the dress anyway."  Ugh.

It's one thing to not support someone's marriage.  It's totally your perogative.  But why show up to a dress fitting purely to shower it with negativity?

When Mama Joyce jumped up to go at Kandi's best friend who was there to SUPPORT (who she is randomly convinced is sleeping with Todd), things got ugly.  She attempted to throw her curtain covered clog at her head, but was being held back....by Kandi's guy friend (and her own strength).

The unnecessary actions worsened when Kandi came out and saw her mother going off, and believed the lies her aunts told that the best friend got up and jumped at THEM first.

Watch the foolery unfold below:

The only things we garnered from this: Kandi's mama and her rat pack are ratchet and really doing the most.  And we now know where Kandi gets her unique way of speaking...

We've learned that former Dirty Money chick Kalenna is the newest addition to the next season of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta".   She and her husband Tony, pictured above hitting up Keri Hilson's birthday party this past weekend, will have their ow storyline when the show kicks off its new season.

Details about their storyline are not yet known, but we do know Kalenna's been trying hard for a solo career.  We shall see.

But she's gone from catching the Last Train To Paris to...sharing screentime with "former" strippers.  Hey, it works for some...

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-12-09at20526PM_zpsddd73e60.png

And speaking of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta", its current star Lil Scrappy is working to make things right after a fatal shooting outside his San Fransisco concert this past weekend.  While giving a concert at a Vallejo park on Friday night, a gun battle went down in the area.  One woman ended up injured and a 34-year-old woman was shot and killed.

Vallejo police Lt. K. Bartlett said:

"...The women likely got in the middle of the gunfight and may not have been the intended targets.

Multiple cars were shot up during the gunfight and different caliber bullets were located at the scene, indicating multiple shooters, Bartlett said.

The rapper, Lil Scrappy, who is known for his role on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, was performing at the Foley Cultural Center at the time of the shooting. The concert ended early as a result of the shooting, Bartlett said."

Scrappy is stepping up to help out the family of the slain woman.  His label reps reportedly said to 4umf on behalf of Scrappy:

“It is disgusting what happened Friday night at the Dan Foley Park concert. On behalf of Lil Scrappy, we at Chinga Chang Records will be assisting with costs related to the shooting. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim who lost her life to such a senseless and heinous crime and hope for immediate justice to these terrorists.”

Meanwhile, Scrappy spent yesterday singing the praises of his newest chick Bambi.  He posted the above pic saying:

Hol up hol up b4 y'all jump to another conclusion I just wanna say this women is the bomb always take great care of me an makes sure I'm good she's a very great person to me an my daughter an she's instrumental to my life

Thanks Bam for being around when there was no camera n I needed somebody these fake ass fans only c tv they dnt knw u for the real u or the other people on tv they r watchers we are doers

Clearly a slight at Erica Dixon, his baby's mother and ex.  And that's all we'll say about that...

It's been a coupled days since we've had some Kanye news.  So y'all already know something was bound to happen.  Dude kicked out a female concert goer who he said was heckling him last night during a Yeezus tour stop.  Peep the video inside...

During his nightly rant over the "Runaway" song, Mr. West reminded San Antonio, Texas whose concert they were attending.  Allegedly, a woman right by the stage kept chanting at Kanye to remove his Maison Martin Margiela mask (he wears one at ever concert).  He stopped, pointed at her and motioned her to be taken out.  That "Off with her head!" motion.

Then he said:

"Do I look like a motherfucking comedian? Don't fucking heckle me.  I'm Kanye motherfucking West!"

Peep the video a nearby fan caught of the lady getting escorted out:

 

He mad.

Remember Star Jones' ex-husband Al Reynolds?  Yep, the one who had that huge sponsored wedding with Star during her days on "The View"?  Well he's actually been doing more than just hitting red carpets and trying to stay in the limelight by befriending lots of reality stars. 

 

We've learned he just helped a team win $160 million in court!  And he wants to help the NAACP....

 

Al Reynolds was spotted in the US District Courtroom in Chicago recently as a judge signed off on a $160 million class action discrimination suit settlement.  Al was a plaintiff and on the 6-person steering committee that went up against Bank of America/Merrill Lynch for alleged discriminatory acts.  And the plaintiffs won BIG.

Even though the money will be divided amongst all plaintiffs involved, we're told Al is walking away with enough "coin" to contribute to the efforts of the NAACP and SEIU...."to make sure labor based discriminatory acts never happens to anyone again."

It's not clear if that means he received two dollars or two million dollars.  But either way, Al is trying to contribute to something meaningful.

The settlement occurred on September 6th, and it was signed and sealed on December 6th by Judge Gettleman.

The steering committee has been participating in he case since 2006.

We're also told by a source that he has signed on with MonaMi Productions to co-star with his BFF Jennifer Williams in an upcoming reality show.  So maybe we'll see all his racial & social justice advocacy on yet another reality show....

All (well, most) of Eddie Murphy's umpteen kids decided to do a family photoshoot amongst themselves.  We're not sure if little Angel Iris was invited...but she wasn't there.

 

Pics inside, plus Eddie's brand new music video...

Eddie and Nicole Murphy's five kids -- Bria, Myles Mitchell, Shayne Audra, Zola Ivy and Bella Zahra -- took to a massive home to shoot some family pics over the weekend.

It looks like Eddie's 23 and 24-year-old, Christian and Eric, from two outside relationships, were also there.

How cute of them to all get together around the Holidays. 

Meanwhile, their movie vet 52-year-old Pops is still trying to make music.  Check out his latest video for his track set to his acoustic guitar, "Promise (You Won't Break My Heart)":

By the way, it was just announced that a Beverly Hills Cop 4 movie is on the way.  And Eddie is slated to be in it.  The tv version was axed before it even could get picked up by a network, but it looks like the movie is still much in demand.

Gabrielle Union: "Shows Like 'Being Mary Jane' Are NECESSARY For Black & Latina Women"

Gabrielle Union brought her "Being Mary Jane" fabness to Miami Beach this past weekend for a press junket at the Architectural Digest OASIS event during Art Basel.  We've got the cute looks she rocked, plus what she told us about why shows like hers are absolutely needed for Black and Latina women....

This past weekend at the The James Royal Palm Hotel in Miami, TheYBF.com chopped it up with fab chick Gabrielle Union about her new show "Being Mary Jane".  And if you caught the original TV movie premiere this past summer, you're twiddling your thumbs just like us, anxiously waiting for the series premiere January 7th.

In a little black dress with shoulder cut outs and multi-colored strappy heels, Gabby Union kept it effortlessly cute as she promoted her upcoming BET show "Being Mary Jane" over the weekend.

The 41-year-old actress dished to us, TheYBF.com, about what her dynamic character we can all relate to is about:

[Mary Jane] is the news anchor at a struggling network and is trying to fight the good fight.  She's putting out hard hitting stories that affect the community in a good way, inspiring people, but she butts heads with her producer and one of her best friends, Kara, who is more ratings driven and trying to save our jobs basically. She has her family life with her mother that has Lupus, her father's growing a little dissolution, and her older brother lives at the house with the parents....and his kids who are having kids. The little brother is selling weed, she's got her love life which is in shambles and all over the place. She is making all kinds of bad decisions. Then she has her life with her friends. She is basically struggling to have it all and failing miserably. Kind of like the rest of us that want it all and don't let ourselves off the hook when we are not perfect and sh* t happens."

So which similarities could someone like Gabby -- who seemingly has the perfectly charmed life with a huge career and baller boyfriend to boot -- have to her character?  She revealed to us:

The desire to be perfect but falling short. Not giving myself a break in terms of, like, it's ok to not get it right all the time. It's ok to fall short. Certainly in my youth, I didn't always make the best romantic decisions. A woman searching for it all and trying to figure it out.

And yes, Gabby says dramas like "Being Mary Jane" (she's also a big fan of her friend Kerry Washington's "Scandal) are necessary to balance out all those catty black & latina-focused reality shows.

Oh my goodness. Not only do women need it, you need to see that women can work together, they can be a team together, they can have a friendship together and they can have conflict but conflict resolution doesn't have to be disrespectful and crazy. We show conflict resolution that is compassionate and respectful. Black Women and Latinas need to see ourselves accurately on television without it being this, you know violent unfortunate cat fight & crabs in a barrel.

But the reality is that reality TV is not real. I know a lot of these women and that's not who they really are. They are edited and produced in a way. And the conflict is manufactured and we all are sort of consuming it as real. We start to believe that black women can't be friends with other black women and that black women can't be friends with Latinas and that's not the everyday truth.

"Being Mary Jane" returns to BET for a full season on January 7th at 10p EST.  We so there!
