Ms. "Being Mary Jane" revealed some things about her upcoming second marriage while sitting on Arsenio Hall's couch last night.  But first, peep that rock:

Gabby divorced her first husband, NFLer Chris Howard, in 2005.  And when asked what she will be doing differently in her upcoming marriage to NBA star Dwyane Wade, she said a prenup!

While rocking a little black dress by Amen and Aperlai shoes, Gabby posed it up with her "BMJ" cast.  Then dished it all.

"The biggest difference between this and the last marriage, will be a pre-nup. At my insistence. When you have your own stuff, you don't need to worry about anybody else's stuff. So everyone should go into the relationship saying I'm here for you and you're here for me. And the reality is, I've never seen Dwyane balance a check book. So I got to protect my stuff."

She also dished some deets about her & D-Wade's upcoming wedding.  It will be very small with no bridal party.  And she revealed who is NOT invited. 

"There are no bridesmaids and no Groomsmen.  Trying to wrangle a bunch of broads...somebody wants one type of dress, somebody wants something else, you start to not like them after a couple months.  And we're older.  This is the second time around.  It's us and the kids.  We're just riding out...just us.

"There's a lot of people that think they're coming.  They're not.  He's the executioner.  He's like, 'Let's go through your list...absolutely not.'  I'm like, 'My cousin?'  If you're not about us, and we don't both have a relationship with you, you're not going to make it. So if we were at Magic City in Atlanta, you're probably not coming."

Ha!  Check out the videos below:

Well looky here.  The Game is cozying up pretty damn close to his "friend" Khloe Kardashian.  Peep the twosome's love in the club last night inside...

They keep trying to convince us that they are simply long time friends.  But we have yet to be convinced. 

The newly divorced Khloe and rapper The Game--who we still can't understand if he's with on again/off again fiancee' Tiffney or not--pulled double duty as hosts of Tru nightclub last night in L.A.

They were spotted with their arms around each other, dancing closely, and having a good ol' time with their friends.

Game's assistant was there too, of course, since they may have already kicked off taping "LAHH: LA".

And Game & Khloe were spotted arriving together with the Kardashian clan as well--Mom Dukes Kris and bestie Khadijah Haqq.

We give it a couple months before they tell the world "their friendship has blossomed into something beautiful". 

Mmhmmm...

Here's to (quickly) getting over that divorce boo....

YBF Olympians To Keep An Eye On: Speed Skater Shani Davis & Figure Skater Maé Bérénice Méité

 photo shaniedavisl.png

With the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics under way, there's two YBF Olympians who caught our eye:  Shani Davis & Maé Bérénice Méité.  Meet them inside...

 photo shainslsleee.png

Because we love a fresh face arond these parts, we've got two new YBF folks you should totally be keeping an eye on during the Winter Olympics.  It may give you a reason to watch in between all the snow boarding and bobsledding.

Raised on the Southside of Chicago, speed skater Shani Davis perfected his "speed" by running from the tough kids growing up.  The 31-year-old is a two-time Olympic gold medalist...and keeps it sexy in those tights.  If that's your thing.  Here are a few fun facts:

+ In Turin, Italy in 2006, Davis became the first black athlete from any nation to win a gold medal in an individual sport at the Olympic Winter Games.

+ His guilty pleasure is pizza. He told Wayne Drehs from ESPN, "Man, I’m a Chicagoan. Chicago pizza. The best pizza is from Chicago; it’s the best in the world.”

+ Shani (which is Swahili), in English translates loosely to a combination of “light” and “weight”.

+ It is "alleged" that Frozone, a superhero from The Incredibles, is based off Shani Davis.

 

And she may not be on TEAM USA, but she's fab nonetheless:

 photo maeskateddsss.png

French figure skater Maé Bérénice Méité is the 2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial champion, 2013 Challenge Cup silver medalist, and the 2014 French national champion. In addition to the skating rink, she also knows her way around the boxing ring (see below).  This 19-year-old is one of very few prominent black female figure skaters (fellow black figure skater Vanessa James is also on Team France).  And she's damn good. Here are a few fun facts.

 photo maesjfsss.png

+ She is an only child and is also fluent in English and Spanish.

+ She plays the violin.

+ At the age of five, her first international event was the 2007 Cup of Nice, and in addition to her singles skating, she participates in Theatre on Ice with her skating club.

 

Who's watching?!

LeToya Luckett is back on the music scene.  The "Single Ladies" star previously revealed she would be dropping a new single called "Don't Make Me Wait".  And now, it's here.

 

Listen to the track inside, plus chck out Nicki Minaj's pasties-filled BTS flicks from the set of her mysterious new video...

 

 photo LT_Itunes_FINAL110618_zpsaeda732e.jpg

It's been a minute since we've gotten new music from the talented Letoya Luckett.  But she's back with a banger.

Letoya debuted “Don’t Make Me Wait” on last night’s episode of VH1’s hit show "Single Ladies". 

And the fab chick says about the song, “’Don't Make Me Wait’ is a song that I did with "Single Ladies" in mind. It's all about the chase! I’m excited to release my first single from my forthcoming album in a little bit, and until then, I wanted to give fans a taste of what I’ve been working on. I didn’t want to make the fans wait!”

Until that album makes it's way to shelves, check out the single below:

 

And Nicki Minaj is doing what she does best--showing T&A with music somewhere in the midst.

 photo nicki-video-4_zps7af6f221.jpg

Rocking bodycon Mark Fast cutout dresses and cut-out knit bodysuits, Versace shoes and Cavalli jewelry, Nicki is giving more sneak peeks into what we assume is her upcoming video.

Apparently she's about to take us to the desert with her Luxe & Le’Bra cut-out bodysuit and Moschino gold jacket.  Nicki hasn't revealed if this is for new music for an album, a single, a mixtape, a calendar, nothing.

But, we're sure she'll hip us to the game soon...

 

BONUS: Remember FeFe Dobson?  Well she's got a new song out that was used for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games opening ceremony.  It's called "Celebrate".  And you can check it out below:

For her birthday, she says she just wants to eat! But first, Kelly Rowland made an appearance on "The View".  Check out the hottie working out in heels, plus EJ Johnson serving up fabulosity...

 

Kelly Rowland brought her new bob to "The View" this morning.  And looked stunning as she talked about her wedding plans, her fitness and the cancellation of "X-Factor".

When asked about her fiance Tim Witherspoon, she said:

"He always told [our mutual friend] 'That's my dream girl, I'm going to get with her.' And he did. Good job!"

Awww.  Kelly revealed she won't have any guests or bridal party saying, "I want it to be small. I want it to be him and myself and God, and just a beautiful setting and call it a day.”

But she says they've both been too busy to make more wedding plans. However, she's not too busy to keep that body looking like pure perfection. She showed the ladies her Zumba routine (part of her fitness plan with Jeanette Jenkins)...and she kept on her heels.

Check it below:

 

And in case you missed it, "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" star EJ Johnson hit up "The Wendy Show" yesterday.  And we totally love him.

He chatted about his bag & shoe game, being in college in NYC and how he and his sister get a FAT allowance from his legendary dad.  Check out the fun interview below:

 

 


Kenya Moore Says Apollo Is 'ABSOLUTELY' Going To Jail, Tosses Shade At NeNe, Says She's Single (With An African Boyfriend)!

Kenya Moore still isn't finished talking.  Now she's coming for Apollo's throat saying he's ABSOLUTELY going to jail...and she's got shade for days for Nene Leakes.  Deets inside...

Kenya will appear on "Bethenny" Wednesday, February 12th.  And she's still talking out both sides of her mouth saying hse's single, yet she has a boyfriend who lives in Africa (yeah, that same mystery African "Prince"). 

While she claims "single" means "unmarried"...it just seems like she's playing word games.

I have a boyfriend and I don't go around town telling anyone anything about him that's for sure and not NeNe and the person that she's talking about she's met him so for her to pretend....He's not from Atlanta. We were in Los Angeles and she met him there.

He's from Africa. Who she's (not sure who SHE is) talking about, she's met and he's from Africa. The point is why is she so concerned about my car and everything. If she wants an upgrade she can ask her man to buy her a new car from their shared account.

It is long distance but I am still single, I am not married yet I am still trying to figure it out. Until I am absolutely sure the relationship is reality proof I will continue to keep that private and under wraps.

And she still claims she and Walter had a real relationship:

It wasn't that it wasn't a real relationship I was pushing for something, what I thought he could give me a baby, a marriage. We were obviously dating we were on a trip together but to say that it wasn't real it's unfair and untrue. I realized what I did.

And about that fight, Kenya says that's not THEIR brand (even though the fight gave "RHOA" record ratings of 4.6 million viewers Sunday night).

Well, let me say this…first of all that's not our brand and you know that. Our show is number one because of universal stories. We're watched by blacks, whites, asians, gay, straight, people love our show because they identify with these women, their stories, and they're universal stories, period. And our show is funny. We read people, we keep it moving, we're not a vicious group of people, we certainly don't demean ourselves by hitting one another and coming to blows. And in our defense, it was very embarrassing and I was embarrassed to be a part of that. It's not our brand and that's something that you'll probably something you'll never see from our franchise because we don't need that. We were number one before, we'll be number one after.

And why it's all NeNe's fault:

When I arrived Nene was as we say she seemed like she was on one. Her mood was very foul, she was very vicious toward me and she berated me with insults the moment she walked in the door.  She was lit up before I arrived.  High percent of her behavior. So it just seemed like it was a setup from the beginning. I had an argument the week prior with another woman that was there, it was resolved. I was over it and all of the questions NeNe was asking were inflammatory and she wouldn't let anything go…very provocative and with the mood and the tone she set. She set the stage.

About her white Bentley she has hinted was from her "man":

I am not saying what it is but I have a new car. My thing is my grandmother instilled in me the best values anyone could ever learn. I would rather have a $10 purse with $100 in it then a $100 purse with $10 in it. So I could care less what they try to add up what I have or what I am paying for anything. I am very secure in what my choices are.

Alrighty then...

President Obama LAUNCHES "My Brother's Keeper" Initiative For Young Men Of Color + Shaq & Big Sean Enter The Fashion World!

We're all about the YBF fellas doing major things. 

 

President Obama has plans to bolster the lives of young men of color.  Get the deets on his initiative inside and see Shaq's new clothing line with Macy's and Big Sean's Aura Gold LOOK BOOK inside..

 

For anyone thinking our President hasn't done anything for young black men while in office, this is for you.

On Thursday President Obama will announce a new White House initiative called “My Brother’s Keeper.”"MBK" will test a range of strategies to support young male minorities, taking steps to keep them in school and out of the criminal justice system.

A White House official said, "The effort will seek 'to make sure that every young man of color who is willing to work hard and lift himself up has an opportunity to get ahead and reach his full potential. The initiative will be focused on implementing strategies that are proven to get results.”

My Brother’s Keeper” would consist of two main parts.

First, businesses and foundations will join together to test strategies across the country. The efforts, he said, will focus “on key moments in the lives of these young men where interventions have been shown to have the greatest impact — things like making sure children arrive at school ready to learn and reducing negative interactions with the criminal justice system.”

Second, POTUS will also launch an internal administration effort to more rigorously evaluate what programs work at helping these young men.

More about MBK will be revealed on Thursday during the announcement.

 

At A Macy's near you....... 

 photo shaqdripple4.jpg

Basketball icon Shaquille O'Neal and Peerless Clothing have teamed up to launch a fashion menswear collection that will be sold exclusively at Macy's. The collection will come in sizes from regular to Big & Tall.

The collection will hit 100 Macy's stores and macys.com starting mid-February, and will include suit separates and sport coats.

"Shaq is one of the biggest stars in sports with a huge fan base and following. A favorite celebrity and personality who is larger than life.  Fans everywhere love Shaq for his athletic accomplishments, and his successful foray into music, movies, television and business. They love his style, passion and charisma," said Ronny Wurtzburger, President of Peerless Clothing."

 photo shaqdripple3.jpg

Shaq added,

"My interest in developing a menswear collection was based on the lack of fashion choices for Big & Tall customers and the higher prices for larger size suits. I also was frustrated that I had to go to a Big & Tall store rather than shop with my friends at the local department or specialty store. I originally wanted to develop a more fashion-forward menswear collection at an affordable price. Once Peerless and I developed the collection, the reaction from Macy's was so positive that we decided to make the collection in all sizes."

 photo shaqballdripple.jpg

"I am excited and honored to partner with Macy's, an iconic American brand that believes in our community, to launch a collection that will be fun, elegant and classy," said Shaq.

Street Dreams is being written/directed by Jonathan Levine, who also grew up in New York, spending his formative years in the 1990s. New York in the 90s was the backdrop for his coming of age feature The Wackness, winner of the Audience Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Street Dreams is now being developed, with Nas involved in the writing and music.

This guy is making major moves in major of ways.  Nice!

Tuesday night was the big White House State Dinner honoring French President Francois Hollande.  And even though Hollande is currently embroiled in his second "alleged" affair that's being exposed in French tabloids, everyone carried on with eating, drinking and being merry.

While welcoming French President Francois Hollande to the North Protico of the White House for Tuesday night's State Dinner, Mrs. O looked amazing in a powder blue and dark navy lace Carolina Herrera number.  She paired her look with blue and diamond Sutra earrings, and Mr. President seemed to love what he saw:

50-Year-Old Michael Jordan seems to be constantly expanding his wallet and his family after retiring from the NBA over a decade ago.  Yesterday, he and his wife of 1 year, 35-Year-Old Yvette Preito, welcomed their identical twin baby girls.

In a rare occasion, Jordan's spokeswoman Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press, "Yvette Jordan and the babies are doing well and the family is overjoyed at their arrival."

In other good news, Jordan's Bobcats have improved this season and are currently the eight seed in the Eastern conference.  Oh, and his 51s birthday is next Monday.

As for what his daughter and two sons think about the new baby girls...they've remained mum about it all.  For now...

We like Lil' Mama's look.  She's really figured out what works for her.  And we mean, for HER.  If someone else tries to rock this ish, we will have something to say....

Keri Hilson wore a gorgeous form-fitting multi-print gown.   Loving the hair, makeup and bdy she's serving these days.  Seems like her breakup with fine ass Serge Ibaka is doing her some good.  Not sure how that's possible, but just an observation....

"Singles Ladies" star Damien Wayans posed for the cameras....and looked like Jaden Smith in 15 years.

Rihanna Grabs Dinner With Her Shaggy Fur & Mom In Santa Monica, Reveals How She Nearly Went Bankrupt In 2009

Now we know why this chick works so hard.  She's not trying to end up anywhere close to bankruptcy again.  Rihanna dined out in Santa Monica as reports about her 2009 financial woes were made public in a new lawsuit.  Find out more inside...

 photo whiterih1.jpg

While shielding her hair from the Santa Monica weather in a furry white coat, Rihanna stepped out of her fave chic Italian eatery Giorgio Baldi last night.

 photo rihamomdeo.jpg

Thanks to a new lawsuit, details about RiRi's near bankruptcy in 2009 have been made public.  Though her estimated worth is now sitting pretty around $43M, the new docs blame her accountant for bad financial advice that costs her around $9M (her expenses doubled and her "Last Girl on Earth Tour" lost money).  Her bank account went from 11 million to $2 million in a short amount of time.  So she wasn't broke by normal people's standards, but it's indeed a drastic mishandling--on someone's end--of hard earned money.

She was close to filing for bankruptcy, and clearly she refuses to let that ever happen again.   Now we know why she never stops working....

It's a body battle between Eniko Parrish and Adrienne Bailon as both ladies recently rocked similar sexy cutout dresses.  Decide who ran it inside...

 

 

 photo runitadrienneeniko_zpsb3265352.jpg

At Tuesday night's About Last Night premiere, Kevin Hart's Jamaican hottie of a girlfriend, Eniko Parrish, stole his shine in this light grey sideless, and almost backless, draped Roberto Cavalli gown.  She paired her look with nude pumps and a braided updo as she hit the red carpet on Kevin's arm. 

And this past October, for Adrienne Bailon's 30th birthday, she rocked a very similar gown in white, this one by Michael Costello.  She had her blonde tresses in a partial updo to show off the jeweled embellishments on the dress.

So....

WHO ROCKED IT BEST?!

There are more YBF Olympians to watch during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.  Meet Lolo Jones, Jazmine Fenlator, Lauryn Williams & Aja Evans from the US Women's Bobsled team.

We've been introducing you to YBF Olympians representing the US and beyond at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.  Now meet Lolo Jones (far left) (who just competed in track & field in the Summer Olympics), Jazmine Fenlator (far right), Lauryn Williams (second from left) & Aja Evans (third from left) from the US Women's Bobsled team. Here's a few tidbits about these fab chicks.

LoLo Jones

* Lolo has an extensive resume in track and field, winning consecutive indoor national and world championships in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012.

* Her birth name is Lori and in the 60-meter hurdles, she set a record of 7.72 seconds (holding the American record).

*On her sporting philosophy: “I am inspired by failure. The process of defeat, picking yourself back up again, is the hardest thing in the world.”

*She catches mad hate from others both in and outside of her sport due to her "celeb" status, but she always has a comeback to say...often which gets her in even more trouble.

Jazmine Fenlator -

*  On how her accomplishments might inspire others: " My first thought was a flashback to ‘Cool Runnings.’ My next thought was remembering how Vonetta Flowers became the first African-American woman to win a gold medal in a winter sport in the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, and it was in bobsled. I wanted to show disadvantaged kids that it’s not where you come from, it’s where you end up.”

*  Her family nearly lost their home in 2011 because of Hurriance Irene.

Lauryn Williams -

* Lauryn began her athletic career in track and field.  She competed in the 2004 summer Olympics, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the 2012 London Olympics winning a gold in 2012 for the 4x100 relay and silver in the 100-meter dash in 2004.

Aja Evans -

*  Aja comes from a family of famed athletes.  Her brother Fred played defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings; her uncle Gary Matthews Sr. had a 15-year MLB career and later coached the Chicago Cubs; her cousin Gary Matthews Jr. was an MLB outfielder for 12 seasons.e's absolutely gorgeous.

*She's absolutely gorgeous.

*Her fave artist and actor are Beyonce & Idris Elba--because of his accent.

*When asked about her fave food, she couldn't pick just one: "My all-time favorite meal is my Mom’s Thanksgiving dinner! Everything from the Cajun turkey, Sweet potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, Greens, Shrimp salad, Cranberry Sauce, Honey Glazed ham, Sweet potato pie, Carmel cake. This list goes on, and on."

 

Whew.  Kill it ladies!
