Pharrell's gotten all types of attention lately for his Vivienne Westwood "Mountain Hat" wardrobe.  And it seems Usher is coming for his hat throne.  Check out the hat battle inside.....

P was potted in Paris today shopping at Colette, and he was rocking the emerald green version of the Vivienne Westwood hat that's recently blown up the internets.

And now that Pharrell has spawned "Pharrell's Hat" twitter accounts, funny beef with Arby's and is currently auctioning off a similar hat he wore to the Grammy Awards on Ebay (Current bid: $14,300!), Usher seems to want to get in on the attention.

 

 photo spl705617_001_zps76370ae4.jpg

"The Voice" judge was spotted rocking a big furry raccoon fur hat while hitting up "The Today Show" early this morning.  And along with his gold sneakers, Usher seems to want people to pay more attention to his fashion game as well. 

Over the weekend, he was also spotted rocking the same hat over the weekend.  So, either it's just his new fave.  Or he's trying to pull a Pharrell. 

You feelin' it?

Gabby Union Reveals She Sued Former Employee PAYLESS After Rape Incident + Lupita Nyong'o Refuses To Dish On Her Oscar Dress

Gabrielle Union was pretty in blue today as she hit up "The View" to promote tomorrow night's big season finale of "Being Mary Jane".  And she opened up about her lawsuit against her former employer after a horrific rape incident, plus why she hates being "the victim."

 

Check it inside, plus Lupita Nyong'o keeping it gorgeous--yet mum about her Oscar dress--on "GMA" this AM....

While chatting up the ladies of "The View" today, and after showing off her massive rock of an engagement ring, Dwyane Wade's fiancee showed why she's a strong survivor.

Gabrielle Union revealed that after being raped at gunpoint at the age of 19 while at work, she took action afterwards that made her feel like she had taken the power back.

She sued Payless, her then-employer, for being negligent in providing a safe environment.  Gabby also urged parents to take an active interest in the type of establishment their teens and young adults are working at, often late at night as well.

And she spoke some powerful words about not being a victim after the incident, even though everyone wanted to treat her as such:

"I got sick of people letting me off the hook. Being a victim is so comfortable. People give you attention, people are nurturing, they're basically what you've wanted your whole life without something bad happening. So, when something catastrophic happens, everyone rallies around you. You're getting all the attention, love and support you've always wanted. But it's not for something positive. I hated that. I hated feeling like a victim. I hated the cloak of victimhood."

She continued:

"They were going to allow me to be a victim and not success and not achieve any of my goals and not step outside the box.  I want to embrace being a survivor. Because that's who I am. I wasn't raised to be coddled. I was raised to be an independent woman, standing on my own two feet."

Check out video below:

The 2-hour finale of "Being Mary Jane" goes down Tuesday night on BET at 9pm.

R&B crooner John Legend and his supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen nabbed the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine while former NFL player Terrell Owens officially files for divorce to get out of his 3 day marriage to his “wife.” Get the deets inside…

35-year-old “All of Me” singer John Legend and his 28-year-old wife Chrissy Teigen will be gracing the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings Spring issue, which will hit newsstands on March 3rd.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl revealed the cover on her Instagram with the caption, “Covered my butt this time.” There were a few informal pictures released of the couples wedding, but this cover gives us a clear picture of her stunning wedding dress.

The couple wed back in September 2013 with an intimate ceremony at Villa Pizzo in Lake Como with A-List wedding guests such as Kanye West and Stevie Wonder.

Chrissy selected three Vera Wang dresses for her special day, opting to don a different garment for the nuptials, reception and after party. During the actual wedding ceremony, she wore an ivory strapless open back, V-neck “Karen” Vera Wang gown from the Spring 2013 Bridal Collection.

Cute couple.

 

And in not-so-happy-couple news…

 photo TO-files-for-divorce.jpg

Former NFL player Terrell Owens is officially filing for divorce from his estranged wife Rachel Snider.  And he filed his divorce docs on Valentine’s Day! Just weeks after saying “I do”

We told you earlierthis month Rachel had planned on filing for divorce from T.O. after she left him and moved out of Cali. She believed T.O. was using her to secure a $2 million loan.

According to TMZ, T.O. acknowledges they were married on January 23rd but decided to SPLIT just 3 days in on January 26th.

Snider insists the two were married for a full 2 weeks before she decided to leave him -- and claims they had a secret 5-year relationship before that. Days after they split, Snider was hospitalized for an apparent suicide attempt.

Interesting note -- T.O. filed the divorce documents "In pro per" ... which means he's acting as his own lawyer.

Snider tells TMZ Sports ... "How nice of him to run to the courthouse when I was in the hospital – and on Valentine's Day no less. If money isn’t an issue – why doesn’t he have an attorney?”

Rachel reportedly tried to commit suicide, so that's probably what she is referring to above.

Rachel also seems to be posting subliminals on her Twitter page:

 

We're assuming this was directed at T.O. This whole marriage fiasco with these two is nothing short of weird.

LOCKED UP: NY Knicks Point Guard Raymond Felton FACING Three Gun Charges, ALLEGEDLY Pointed Loaded Gun At ESTRANGED WIFE!

NY Knicks point guard Raymond Felton is headed to court this morning where he'll face three gun charges.  Inside, find out the shocking chain of events that led his estranged wife to turn him in....

After the NY Knicks lost to the Dallas Mavericks last night (110-108), 29-year-old point guard Raymond Felton found himself cuffed and behind bars with three gun charges.  The events that led to his early morning arrest today are quite shocking....and you can blame his alleged cheating ways AND his "fed up" wife.

 photo feltonweb26n-5-web.jpg

According to the NY Post, Raymond and his 26-year-old law school student wife, Ariane Raymond-Felton (above), recently filed for divorce after 19-months of marriage.  And sources claim they have engaged in several nasty arguments about his cheating.

“The wife is saying they had four verbal altercations since July last year. On the last one, he pointed a gun at her. It’s an armor-piercing gun, loaded. It’s a bad ass gun,” a law enforcement source told The Post.

“She said, ‘He’s out doing his thing.’ Looks like he was [having sex with] some girl on the side. They were arguing about bulls–t domestic stuff, but on this last one he pulled the gun, she said,” the source added.

Wow.  Initially, reports on Daily News said a girlfriend of Raymond's was involved, but that has now been edited (for some reason).

So what did Ariana do?  Both ABC NEWS and The NY Post report that Ariane boxed up Raymond's gun and took it down to the 20th Precinct on the Upper West Side because she didn't want the gun in her home anymore.   And if you remember anything about NFLer Plaxico Burress, you'll recall that NY has some of the nation's strictest gun laws. You DO NOT want to get caught with one unlicensed...or in an improper way!
 

As of this morning, Raymond was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the second, third and fourth-degrees and is headed to court shortly.  We'll keep you posted.

Last week, Raymond told the Daily News he didn't want to let his divorce affect his game (even though according to sports analysts, he's played poorly this season:

“It’s your life. When you’re going through certain things in life it’s on your mind, no matter what. You try not to let it come into your job, into your workplace, but sometimes it does. You’re human and it’s a part of life. But at the same time, it is what it is. That’s my personal life, though; I don’t want to discuss that part.”

DMX is facing foreclosure on his NY mansion and blames Tashera Simmons (whom he's still legally married to his rep tells TheYBF.com) for living above her means.  When TMZ asked him about the siutation, he said, "I told her she is living above her means, that you can't still live on the same block as Martha Stewart and Chevy Chase, you gotta downgrade, but she refuses to do so because the house is in my name. She doesn't give a f*** about my credit."  Story.

The Chris Brown drama continues! Chris Brown is accusing his former manager, Tina Davis, for leaking NEW music from his upcoming album, X. And Beyonce just released the sexy ass visuals for “Partition.”

 

See what Chris had to say about his music being leaked and Bey’s latest video inside…

Beyonce just released the visuals for her latest video, “Partition” off of her hit visual album, Beyonce, on VEVO.

“Partition” is the 3rd video released following “Drunk In Love” and “XO.” Yes, we know this video was already released on the visual album, but this is the "official" release to the public.

Bey spoke to PEOPLE about the track saying:

"It takes me back to being in my car as a teenager. It takes me back to when me and my husband first meet, and he tries to scoop me and he thinks I'm the hottest thing in the world.

I kinda had this whole fantasy of being in the car, and this whole movie played in my head. I didn't have a pen and paper. I got to the mic, I'm like, 'Oh, press Record.' [Starts singing] Driver roll up the partition please, I don't need you seeing 'yoncé on her knees…"

Work!  Roll up your partition and check out Bey keeping it uber sexy below:

 

Tidbit: We’re not sure if you noticed, but Kid Cudi pulled a Bey move by releasing his new album without notice today. Cudi released his new album Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moonhere in North America at midnight last night, and can be purchased on iTunes.  It releases to the rest of the world tomorrow.

 photo chris-brown-accuses-manager.jpg

Although Chris Brown just graduated from his 90-day anger management stint, that didn’t stop him from going on a Twitter rant recently accusing his ex-manager, Tina Davis, of LEAKING tracks from his upcoming album, X. In fact, the whole album has been leaked.

Chris ranted: “My old manager is leaking my NEW album music and refuses to give me my back up hard drive to sabotage my album. That’s F’d up G!”

He then deleted the tweet and posted:

Tina decided to respond to Breezy’s accusations via her Twitter account posting, “@chrisbrown Trace it! Find out where it originated from…RCA can do that for you. Then send a defaming tweet out on who really did it.”

She later deleted her tweet.  Tina has been Breezy’s manager since the beginning of his career, but they recently parted ways. Now, Akon’s brother, Def Jam VP of A&R Bu Thiam, is his new manager (pictured above).

Chris simply needs to stay off social media. PERIOD.

Angela Stanton's Attorney Wants Phaedra Park's DEFAMATION Suit Dismissed...Says Angela Told The Truth And Phaedra Knows It!

The attorney for Angela Stanton wants Phaedra Parks' $30M defamation lawsuit dismissed because Phaedra hasn't produced any evidence to prove Angela defamed her!  More inside....

As "RHOA" star Phaedra Parks continues her Secrets of The Southern Belle book tour and Apollo Nida guards his grill against federal charges for fraud and identity theft, the lawyers for Angela Stanton (whom Phaedra filed a $30M lawsuit against) are striking back.  They want a judge to see through Phaedra's B.S. and force her to pay Angela's mounting attorney fees, as well as dismiss the case.

A while back, we told you about Angela's tell-all book, Lies of a Real Housewife (it linked both Apollo and Phaedra to several elaborate federal racketeering schemes) and now Angela's lawyer wants to know why Phaedra won't sit for a deposition related to the lawsuit she filed against Angela that essentially said all her claims were a lie.

A few months ago, Phaedra was all set to defend herself (when she initially filed the lawsuit) but now she and her legal team have repeatedly dodged efforts from Angela to hear Phaedra's side of the story. Now, Angela's lawyer, James Radford, has filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss Phaedra's lawsuit for three reasons:

1. Phaedra has placed no evidence supporting her claims (pg. 15)
2. There is no evidence to support claims that statements Angela made were false (pg. 19)
3. Phaedra has not proven malice or reckless regard for the truth (pg. 21)

And we're sure it helps Angela's case that Apollo DID get recently arrested on fraud charges that were similar (if not the same) to what Angela originally said...and what Phaedra originally sued her for saying.

The lawyer is also asking that Phaedra be forced to pay Angela's attorney fees (since she's the one dragging the case out).

Read the motion here

And the House of Parks may just be crumbling before our eyes.  Somebody get Phaedra's mama a church fan...

Get ready y'all!  Another fun movie is on the way from mega-producer Will Packer (pictured above with his fiancee) and director Malcolm D. Lee.  And we're going out on a limb to say it'll probably have a fabulous chick-flick feel. 

 

Find out about "Girls Trip" inside...

We're hoping this will be Think Like A Man meets Best Man (like, both the originals and the sequels)!   According to the press release, TLAM and Ride Along producer Will Packer and Best Man director Malcolm D. Lee are teaming up for a brand new movie called Girls Trip.  And while details are few and far between, we're already here for it.  Hotness, hilarity and hormones flying with emotion?  Yes please!

Kevin Hart& Ice Cube's Ride Along has made over $120 million so far.  So Will Packer is ready to do it again!  Via his Will Packer Productions company, he's breaking out a new flick that's using the working title "Girls Trip."

And with Malcolm D. Lee is set to direct, production is expected to begin this summer.

Now, the real question is, which celebs should be cast for a movie--that we're sure will involve plenty of YBF chicks--that's all about an epic Girls' trip?

Thoughts?

44-year-old Alexsandra Wright and her now 4-year-old son, Nixon Alexander Knowles, sat down with Inside Edition and revealed that Daddy Knowles has NOT spent any time with his son nor has he introduced their son to his big sis Beyonce.

According to Wright, she never wanted to make their scandal public and tried everything in her power to do so, but Mathew chose to make their situation public. She said, "I tried everything to not have it public. But unfortunately, that's just not the way that Mathew chose to deal with this."

She even confirmed she and Mathew had an 18-month affair while he was still married to Tina Knowles.

She claims Mathew has NOT paid her any child support and now owes about $32,000 in court-ordered child support. His negligence has forced her to get on food stamps in order to support their son (which she proved by recently posting a picture of her food stamp card).

And she’s still sticking to the story that Mathew insisted she give their son to Beyoncé and Jay Z so they could raise him as their own before Blue Ivy was born.

"I don't expect Beyoncé to take accountability. It's not her problem. It's not her situation. Beyoncé and Jay Z have never attacked me. They've done anything wrong to me. They've never been negative at all," Wright added.

Check out cute little Nixon and his mother in the interview below:

We get she wants her money for her sonn but sitting on national TV airing out their dirty laundry is a bit much. Especially if she wasn't getting paid to do so (we'e not clear on that one).

It's all about those adorable YBF kids!  Mr. 106 was on daddy duty with his baby girl Shai and his baby's mother Miss Joie recently.  Check out their cute trip to Disneyland inside, plus Ciara practicing those mommy skills with Monica's baby girl....

Bow Wow headed to Mickey Mouse's house recently to grant his little girl's wish.  Cutie Shai apparently had been asking to see Mickey & Minnie, so Bow rounded up his munchkin and her mom (who he may or may not be seeing again) fitness lover Joie to make that happen.

Robin Thicke won't let his marriage to Paula Patton end without a fight!  See what his friends are saying inside....

Earlier this week, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton announced their separation, but friends of the "Blurred Lines" singer admit that he's not on-board with the end of their relationship.  Talking to TMZ, friends of Robin say he's "determined to win Paula back."

After a few cancelled concert dates (and an improptu trip to Canada to meet up with a working Paula and to talk out), sources revealed that Robin will resume his tour on Thursday in Washington D.C.  But...won't hit the club scene afterwards (he's trying to show Paula he can change).  

Seems a dollar short at this point...

According to friends, one of the main motivations for saving the marriage is that Robin does not want to raise their two-year-old sonJulian in two-separate homes.  Guess he didn't think about that while he was grabbing girls' asses in pictures and kissing on random chicks in clubs.

Good luck you three....
