Kanye West appeared on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" where he revealed we may see a more kid-friendly side in the future.  Watch his interview and performance inside and see K. Michelle on "Arsenio."  

Kanye West (shown atop in Paris, France earlier today) appeared on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" last night where he talked about the changes he's experienced since the birth of daughter North and his engagement to Kim Kardashian (shown above snuggling at JFK airport on Tuesday).

So what can we expect Yeezy to do differently?  Maybe....fewer curse words?  He told Seth, 'My approach to life has changed' and he'll be recording music for 'artistic intellectual kids' now that he's a father.  Alrighty then.

Also, he discussed his clothing line (from a much calmer perspective than his Sway interview) and shared--again--why he's so frustrated that people put him in a box. 

Watch Kanye and Seth Meyers talk about on why he wears a mask on tour & his fashion line:

On going "Kid Friendly" and artistic music for kids:

Watch Kanye's rock his medley of hits (“Jesus Walks”, “Touch the Sky”, “Stronger”, “Heartless”, “All of the Lights”, “Mercy”, “Black Skinhead)” here:

Also on late night.....

During her appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show", singer K. Michelle (the “ghetto girl with table manners”) revealed a few hidden talents (she's classically trained on the piano, can play guitar, and she also yodels).   She says certain websites owe her a check because she drives hits.  Oh?

“I don’t think it’s fair at all because you don’t know me. You would react the same way as me to a lot of those situations. I’m just bold enough to do it in your face and I can. Those reactions from those blogs and everything, I make their hits go up, so they should thank me or maybe even send me a check.”

Also, she said you see so many scenes of her popping off on ""LAHH" because she has the "best climax" of all her castmates. 

Watch the clips and see her performance below:

K. Michelle on haters, bloggers and why she's the "most calm" character of LAHH...but has the best "climax":

Eve and Azealia Banks made friends at Paris Fashion Week while Drake's other alleged boo Zoe Kravitz was spotted at Universal Studios. Check the pics inside...

It looks like the “beef” between rap divas Eve and Azealia Banks has been squashed after the two femcees were spotted together backstage at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. Eve and Azealia Banks both performed at the Etam womenswear fall/winter show.

They both hit the runway alongside lingerie models and snapped pics together backstage.

If you hadn’t heard, newly engaged Eve contacted Azealia for collaboration on a track for her Lip Lock album but Azealia decided to pass simply saying, “Im busy.”

Eve told Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club last year, “She was doing her thing and poppin’, so it could be that.”

Azealia claims she was never aware that Eve reached out to do a track tweeting, “Def never even received a memo about collaborating! Def never turned you down.”

So it seems the girls have gotten past the miscommunication and seem to have grown quite fond of one another.

“Eve is such a nice lady! So happy to have performed alongside her tonight !!! Eve reminds me so much of my sister Latwan,” said Azealia.

Meanwhile...

Actress Zoe Kravitz was spotted at Universal Studios for an EXTRA interview in Universal City, California.

Drake’s rumored boo was dressed in a black dress, black blazer and black heels and was all smiles as she walked to the stage.  

Wonder how she feels about Drake and RiRi'srecent secret rendezvousand performance...

Plus, the Vanity Fair and FIAT celebration of "Young Hollywood" party was held last night in Los Angeles. Come inside and see Michael B. Jordan, Forrest Whitacker, Tracee Ellis Ross and more…

The 2nd Annual ICON Mann Power 50 Pre Oscar Dinner party went down at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills last night. Actor Forrest Whitaker and Michael Ealy looked dapper dressed in all black suits with matching black tie.
 

Newlywed Nnamdi Asomugha hit the red carpet solo leaving his pregnant wife Kerry Washington (who was probably busy working) behind.

Actor Michael B. Jordan looked nice in his steel gray suit standing alongside actor David Oyelowo.

British actor Adewale Akinnuoye cleaned up nice.

NAACP Hall of Fame inductee Paris Barclay was all smiles on the red carpet.

Hottie Laz Alonso showed off one of the things we love the most on the red carpet...his smile.

BET CEO Debra Lee was in attendance wearing a lace black dress with white accents.  Is that...concealer?

And “Being Mary Jane” star Stephen Bishop kept it extra sexy on the red carpet. Yes Gawd.

And elsewhere in Los Angeles last night...

Michael B. Jordan was on double duty as he attended the Vanity Fair and FIAT celebration of "Young Hollywood" party last night after leaving the ICON MANN dinner in Beverly Hills.

Michael didn't even bother to change his suit from one event to the next. The difference between a man and a woman.

Tracee Ellis Ross looked beautiful in her long-sleeved blue dress paired with coral pointed pumps.

Zoe Kravtiz kept it cute decked out in all black.

And “ET” correspondent Rocsi Diaz kept it interesting in a tan and blue long-sleeved mesh and watercolor dress.

Fab times!

Mistress Sandrina Schultz spilled some tea on her alleged relationships with NBA ballers Dwyane Wade and Lamar Odom. Find out what she said inside...

Self proclaimed groupie Sandrina Schultz sat down with The Break Room co-hosts Robert Littal and Jill Munroe for a candid interview about being a side chick/groupie. She was named as Dwyane Wade’s alleged side chick when news broke that he had impregnated another woman while he and actress Gabrielle Union were on a break.

And in between trying to convince folks that she LOVES being called a "groupie" and these men are groupies of women like HER as well (light skin, long hair), Sandrina sets the record straight on why she likes to sleep with athletes.  And she goes on about whether she feels sorry for the wives/girlfriends of the men she sleeps with.

Highlights:

On if she gets offended when she’s labeled a groupie:

Sandrina says she doesn’t get offended when she’s called a groupie because she has a certain group of man she’s interested in, which so happens to be basketball players.  So, therefore, she qualifies as a groupie. (Yes, she said this.)  She says she’s not going to stop pursuing this type of man just because someone calls her a groupie.

On her relationship with Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade:
Sandrina said she and Dwyane Wade have been friends for close to 10 years and said she was shocked to learn he had a “break” baby on the way.  Actually, she said she was "hurt".  Sandrina said she became friends with D. Wade when he started having marital problems with his ex-wife Siovaughn and claimed to still messing around with him when he got with Gabby Union.

On if she feels sympathy for the wives whose husbands she’s dealing with:
Sandrina said she doesn’t feel sorry for the athletes’ wives or girlfriends, including Gabby Union. She said the women in their lives have to accept that their man, being that he's a professional athlete, will have girls on the side.  She said that "they know what they’re getting into when getting involved with an athlete."  Oh.

On her alleged relationship with NBA baller Lamar Odom:
Sandrina alleges Lamar has been in her life for over 10 years and that she was messing around with him when he and Khloe Kardashian met. In fact, she said she was with Lamar as a guest when Khloe and Lamar met in a nightclub.  And she further claims Khloe once sent a private investigator to her house to check on Lamar!

On if she thinks Khloe Kardashian Odom used Lamar:
No, she doesn’t think Khloe was using Lamar. She thinks Khloe sincerely wanted to work things out with him.

Sandrina says she has a book coming out soon (of course!) where she will reveal other celebs she has messed around with.  We're not saying we don't believe her--because none of this surprises us if true--but the way these jumpoffs are so ~proud~ of themselves shows how intensely basic-try has taken over.

Check the full interview below:

Tidbit: Seems like Sandrina may have a thing for R&B singers as well. She posted the picture above of herself and Ray J with the caption, “Good night from #rayJ and #sandrina #crustaceans “

Alrighty then...

Taraji P. Henson has a new gig in Hollywood that will pair her with Terrence Howard and Lee Daniels.  Get the deets inside and see Beyonce sing Happy Birthday to one of her fans....

During Beyonce's tour stop through Birmingham, she noticed one of her biggest fans, Shehnaz Khan, wearing a birthday badge and holding a sign - so she sang "Happy Birthday" to her!  Shehnaz told the Daily Mail, 'I was wearing a birthday badge which she noticed early on in the show, she kind of nodded in acknowledgement. I can't believe she stopped the show for me. I was leaning over the barrier holding her hand and not realizing the camera was recording, everyone around me was going crazy',

Later, Shenaz uploaded the video to social media and tweeted,  'BEYONCE SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME my life has been made in every sense, literally what is life?""I am absolutely FLOORED, but beyond grateful".

Meanwhile, Mrs. C uploaded a few new pics to her Tumblr.  And, as usual, they make us want to be wherever it is she, Jay, and baby B.I.C. are:

Now she's been released early for good behavior and she wants what's hers."

Who'll join Terrence and Taraji? So far...Jussie Smollet"The Mighty Ducks and The Mindy Project" (he's Jurnee's brother)..  Lee and Danny will write and executive-produce the drama.

Fab chicks Jennifer Hudson and Angela Simmons are on newsstands this month in "V" and "Vibe Vixen".  See the sexy pics and highlights inside...

In the latest issue of "V"  Magazine, Jennifer Hudson posed for famed photographer Terry Richardson in an article/pictorial titled "Jennifer Steps Up".  

She's serving up some sexy we don't usually see from her -- thighs on display, wet hair, bustiers, and black sheer all over.

While discussing her upcoming album, which features Pharrell Williams, Babyface and Timbaland, Jennifer reflected on where she's been and where she's headed with her music,

“Earlier in my career I was just a soloist singing other people’s songs. Now I really want to be an artist. I want to lift the people up, have fun, create a moment. I have my own visions that I want to bring to life. People think I sit in church all day or stay at home and stare at my Oscar. It’s like I’m a nun or the president or something. I realized that people don’t really know who I am. It just feels like it’s time to take the training wheels off, you know? Let them see me.”

In other magazines.....

Angela Simmons appears in the latest issue of Vibe Vixen in a pictorial shot by David Joseph Perez.  In the mag, the health and fitness lover and fashion lover says she's aware that she grew up with priviledge, but she's worked hard for what she has acquired.  Including those curves.

“I’m used to the comments...but at the end of the day I’m not concerned, because I know how hard I work. I can go to my dad and my uncle for advice, but other than that, anything that I have today, I’ve worked for. I pour my heart into it, and I live, sleep, breathe, eat it. I’m not going to sit here and prove to someone that I’m working; you’re going to see for yourself.”

With just one week until the Season 7 premiere of "The Game", stars Lauren London and Jay Ellis are hanging out together, sipping a little drinky drink.  Check out their Henny party inside, plus Garcelle Beauvais and more at the Non-Stop Q&A...

Last night, the Hennessy family hosted an intimate dinner at the luxurious Sunset Tower in L.A. with folks like Jay Ellis, Lauren London and more.

 During the Maurice Hennessy Tasting Dinner, the twosome posed it up with Thuy Anh-Nguyen and sipped on Hennessy X.O, Paradis, Paradis Imperial and Richard Hennessy. And they even got to sip on a swanky called Hennessy Paradis Impérial with an average price of $2,700.

Better than dropping that type of change on strippers like2 Chainz did last night...we guess.

Must be nice...

And elsewhere in L.A.:

Now that he's explained to the raging Bey Hive what she meant about kids not needing to see Beyonce and other women being too sexy, Garcelle Beauvais made her way to the Q&A session for the upcoming flick Non-Stop.

She posed it up with host Kevin Frazier at the Arclight Hollywood theater last night after the special screening and Q&A of the film with Director Jaume Collett-Serra and cast member Nate Parker.

Where have you been Darrin Henson?

And Nelly's current/ex girlfriend Tae Heckard was also there looking cute in her new braids.

Fab times!  The movie, which also stars Lupita Nyong'o, hits theaters this Friday.

Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and his fiancée, “Being Mary Jane” star Gabrielle Union, were spotted having lunch today in Miami. Check out the pics of the couple and chime in on your reaction to “BMJ”'s finale episodes inside…

Ms. “Being Mary Jane” was spotted out to lunch with her husband-to-be, Miami Heat baller Dwyane Wade, earlier today at a restaurant on Miami Beach.

The couple seemed to be really interested in whatever they were watching on D. Wade’s iPhone.

Final wedding decisions perhaps?  Or maybe the criticisms and praises for last night's "BMJ" finale?

She also flashed that huge ring a few times.

And speaking of Gabby, who looked cute and comfy in shorts and sneakers...

She, D. Wade and some friends got together last night to watch the big season finale.  And it was hosted by Adrienne and Chris Bosh.  You already know Adrienne wasn't passing up THIS chance to host yet another party.

Gabby posted to her IG, “Happy #BMJFinale !!! Thanks @mrsadriennebosh @chrisbosh for hosting us tonight & lettin us raid the snack cabinet (as usual w/ @telltell_heart ) and the awesome Mexican feast @Che ftwill prepared! Thanks to my Heat ladies @hbattier @faithstyleuncut @iamddj @aprilbellephotos... Awesome bottle btw #teambattier”
 

“Being Mary Jane’s” two-hour finale premiere was a HUGE hit last night. It is now this season’s #1 new Drama Series on cable among adults 18-49, attracting more than 5.8 million viewers.

Not only did "BMJ" take over cable television last night, it also captivated audiences on social media with Twitter seeing 210,000 tweets during the finale (a 179% increase in tweets from the previous episode).  Sheesh!

So, the top 5 weeknight drama series has been picked up for a 2nd season continuing to follow Mary Jane’s antics.

Now...were we the only ones confused by the events that took place in last night’s finale? Many folks think it was all over the place, yet still pretty jaw-drop worthy. And when will Mary Jane actually LEARN from her mistakes? MJ needs to smarten up and quit all the basic-try, right?

Thoughts?

Rapper The Game is speaking out against rumors that he and Khloe Kardashian are hooking up, despite being spotted with the Kardashian sister lately. Find out what he had to say about he and Khloe’s relationship inside…

The Game and recently single Khloe Kardashian have been spotted out a lot lately.   Soon, rumors began that the two were dating. The duo was seen in the club with their arms wrapped around one another, dancing closely, and Khloe even gave Game a quick twerk.

No, he’s trying to convince us (and maybe even himself) that they are JUST friends.

Game denied he’s dating Khloe, but revealed he once dated her big sis, Kim K., telling BBC Radio1Extra DJ Charlie Sloth on Wednesday:

"Those are just rumors. It’s funny man cuz me and Khloe we're cool. People don't know, but I've been knowing Khloe for 12 years - you know what I'm saying? I went and dated Kim for a while. A little short while. Me and Khloe are cool.”

When asked if he dated Kimmy before her relationship with Ray J, he claimed he couldn’t remember.  Oh.

“You know what. I don't remember that time line,” he said before going on to complement Kim's fiance Kanye West. “Kanye was the homie. He's still the homie. That is his wife. They got a family. I love them. They're great.”

And in case you missed:

Khloe posted the picture above a few days ago to her IG with the caption,"I could explain but it's more fun this way @thedocumentary #10PlusYearsandCounting".

Game and Khloe need more people.

Wonder what his on-again/off-again fiancée Tiffney Cambridge has to say…

Adorable alert!  Model/actress Eva Marcille and her man Kevin McCall just showed off their almost-1 month old daughterMarley's face for the first time.

Check out the cutie inside....

With parents as hot as Eva Marcille and singer/rapper Kevin McCall, we're so not surprised this little Marley is as cute and precious as we expected. 

New mommy Eva, who calls her little girl "perfection", just showed off the precious bundle to her fans.  And proud daddy Kevin ot in on the picture action too:

He gushed, "My little china doll... #marleyXO".  And now, he's got another daughter to keep his eyes on a all times.

Awwww.

And Eva is wasting no time whipping her model body back into shape.  She was spotted at a Nike/Essence fitness event yesterday in L.A (standing up in back left):

Eva was there working it out along with plenty of YBF chicks like Kelly Rowland, Jurnee Smollett, Jeanette Jenkins, Tichina Arnold, Michelle Williams, Elle Varner and plenty more.

Everybody headed over to Paris for Paris Fashion Week it seems.  See what Drake, Kanye West, Solange and Jourdan Dunn are up to inside...

Drake was spotted out to dinner in Paris, France last night.  He's in town for his "Would You Like A Tour?" stop which featured a surprise appearance from Rihanna earlier this week.  ANd he's heading to surrounding cities next.

Drake's dinner partner for the evening was his rap mentor, Kanye West, who joined him at Costes Hotel.  We're sure Kanye is in town to take in a few womenswear shows (since he's so "serious" about launching his own label).  He even talked to Seth Meyers,earlier this week, about the fashion world putting him in a box. 

Also in Paris......

Singer and fashion "It" girl Solange Knowles was seen arriving at the H&M Fashion Show at the Grand Palais for Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015.  And we're loving everything about this.  The beautiful backdrop, her print-on-print short set look that's ClASSIC Solange, and those killer gams.
 

Model Jourdan Dunn, who appeared alongside Beyonce in "XO" and Yonce", also attended the show in a print-on-print shorts and blazer look.

And Jordan and Solange were sitting pretty on the front row with Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba.  All the ladies rocked looks from the HM Conscious Exclusive SS14 line.  Gorge!

As if we needed another reason to think former "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa is sexy as all hell, he went and made our hearts melt with his story about falling in love with his wife of seven years, Lisa Bonet.

Check out what he said about their fireworks and his "Cosby crush" inside...

It's pretty obvious how in love 46-year-old actress Lisa Bonet and her man Jason Momoa are--based on the fact they're constantly all lovey-dovey in pics and appear to be super supportive of each other's career.  And, not to mention, their sexy Hawaii vacay pics we still take a peek at every now and then.

And even though they've been married for several years and have two kids, 5-year-old Nakoa-Wolf and 6 and a half-year-old Lola Iolani, Lisa can still make her man totally shy.

34-Year-Old Jason hit up the "Katie" show yesterday to dish on his new Sundance Network tv show "The Red Road", and the convo turned toward wife Lisa, who will be appearing on the show as well.

Jason dished about his crush on his future wife, and freaking out when he finally met her:

"We met through mutual friends.  But when I first met her, she didn't know I was a stalker, but I was. I was with one of my best friends and when I turned around, and they were going to introduce us, literally like, FIREWORKS.  She said 'Hi I'm Lisa'.  And I said 'Hi, I'm Jason' and I just turn around to my buddy like... (freaking out).  Inside, I was like a little girl and I (deepend my voice] and tried to pull it together. She definitely makes me shy.  It's been an honor." 

And how he knew he was going to marry her after watching "The Cosby Show" all those years ago:

"I was definitely...that was the first time when I was like, 'I want that one.  I want her.  I'm going to get her.'  I didn't tell her till after we had our two children.  But I told her--'I kinda stalked ya.  I was going to find ya.'"

Awwww! 

Jason also wrote, starred in, and directed a new movie called Road To Paloma which will be in select theaters July 15th in NYC and LA.

Our new fave YBF hottie Lupita Nyong’o stuns in two different bold looks while Rihanna served some fierceness at Paris Fashion Week's Balmain show (and sh served a little something after the show too). Meanwhile, LaLa Anthony, Adrienne Bailon and Angie Martinez kept it cute for the "Nueva Latina Monologues".  Check the pics inside…

Oscar nominated Lupita Nyong’o is still making her rounds during Awards season and looking effortless doing so.

We know Lupita loves daring colors and last night was no different. Lupita was honored by Sally Morrison & LoveGold at Chateau Marmont in L.A.

She rocked a blue Stella McCartney cut-out dress with matching blue Christian Louboutin pointed pumps. She accessorized her look with Elena Votsi earrings and a dark blue Rauwolf clutch. To finish her look, she went with blue eye shadow (which would normally make us cringe) and a red lip.

Hot!

British actress Naomie Harris hit the carpet wearing a black Monique Lhulier jumpsuit, Christian Louboutin pumps and a Eva Fehren ring.

Model Jessica White rocked a white fringe top from Christian Siriano’s spring 2014 collection paired with a long white, textured skirt. She accessorized her look with a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes, a L.K. Bennett clutch and Love Gold Scot Louie’ jewelry.

Earlier yesterday, the “12 Years A Slave” star posed on the carpet for the Q&A with His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Lupita rocked an orange and blue Vivienne Westwood printed frock and matching blue Christian Louboutin pumps. She accessorized her look with an orange Ferragamo clutch and Dana Rebecca Designs post earrings.

Lupita, Jeremy Renner and Eva Longoria even snapped a picture with the Dalai Lama himself!  Chick can do no wrong on the red carpet! We can’t wait to see what she decides to wear for the Oscars on Sunday.

Rihanna hit up Instagram to issue a "#GagOrder" and show off her black Adam Selman quilted coat and mini skirt from his Fall 2014 collection. She finished her look with a pair of black thigh high stockings and a garter belt.  Hot!

As you know, Rihanna's been spending a lot of her free time in Paris with YMCMB rapper Drake. The two were recently spotted together inside Colette and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  And the two later hit the stage to perform "Take Care" with RiRi giving Drake a little twerk action.

Rihanna is still serving up fierceness in Paris today at the Balmain show for Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015. She looked hot in an olive coat dress and gold strappy, pointed heels.

And she posed it up with Balmain‘s Creative Director Olivier Rousteing.  Sickening how effortless she makes this look.

And in other hottie spottings…

LaLa Anthony, Adrienne Bailon, and Angie Martinez attended the launch of Nueva Latina’s Campaign “The Nueva Monologues” at Helen Mills Event Space in New York.  According tot he press release, "The Nueva Latina Monologues personifies the unique and complex journey of the bicultural Latina experience through emotion, comedy and authenticity."

And a few of our fave women of color were there for the cause.  LaLa, who posed it up with "Devious Maids" star Roselyn Sanchez, wore an all black, long sleeved dress with matching black, strappy heels.

Actress/singer Adrienne Bailon rocked a gold-studded, fur-sleeved jacket with leather pants and black pointed pumps.

And Angie Martinez kept it simple in a red and black long sleeve printed dress paired with black knee high pointed boots.

Fab times.
 

The Randomness:

Pharrell is speaking out about the supposed lack of "color" on his new album cover G I R L.  Find out what the ridiculously talented P tells TheYBF.com about the controversy  and what he had to say about the black women who surround him.  He has lots to get off his chest....

So it seems many people are upset for the lack of representation of black women on Pharrell’s new G I R L album cover. Ebony Magazine’s senior digital editor Jamilah Lemieux wrote an article this week on her dismay that Pharrell chose “three extremely pale women” to be featured on his album cover. Even Twitter went in on his choice of women, but now P has LOTS to say about the controversy that he feels has no merit.

While speaking to TheYBF.com about the “black girl controversy” surrounding his album cover, Pharrell dropped the bomb that there IS actually a black girl on the cover.  And...he revealed she just so happens to be a woman he used to date!

According to Pharrell, the woman he’s standing closest to (in the middle) is black. He says he was trying to put ordinary, beautiful women on the album cover...and that’s it.

The Oscar nominee told TheYBF.com in our interview on Wednesday:

Well, they’re ill informed. The woman I’m standing closest to, she is black and she’s been a friend of mine for a long time. You know, I’m confused by it.

Then they’re going to ask me do I not have an Indian woman on there or a Pakistani woman on there? But meanwhile, I do. She is African American and I feel sorry for her that people will look her dead in her face like she ain’t black but she is black. It’s a girl I use to date years ago.

It’s just unfortunate because it’s 2014 and we have a President [who’s black]. Is this what it is? Is it because she’s not brown? I don’t feel funny about our President because he is what he is. Meanwhile, has anybody forgotten that I’m black myself? I wake up everyday and I wave the black flag. Everything that I’m doing. You know, this “Happy” song going #1. What is the guy that’s singing the song? What do you mean?

Pharrell didn't stop there.  He went on to explain how black woman are such an important part of his life, and challeneged others to truly see what his much-anticipated album is about:

I’m standing by a black woman. My business is run by a black woman. My mom partially looks after my business and she’s a black woman. I’m married to a black woman. I’m confused. I guess once you get the album you will look inside and see she’s a black woman. I’m sorry that from that vantage point you can’t look at her hair and tell that she’s black.

My intentions are…this album is an ode to woman. It’s not necessarily an ode to a shade, it’s an ode to women. And to people who are confused by that, you have got to know me better than that. Look at the “Frontin” video.

And here I am trying to put ordinary, beautiful girls on the cover…not no models. I didn’t go to 29 agencies looking for runway models. I wanted ordinary people because I don’t think celebrities or models are the stars anymore. I think pedestrians are the stars. And I think beautiful pedestrians will run the world and that’s what I consider myself, like a pedestrian.

I understand it. Hopefully when they see, they’ll see.
 

Well, there you have it.  Check back soon for the rest of our amazing (if we do say so ourselves) interview with Skateboard P.

Zoe Kravtiz and Mya are looking hot while rocking the new covers of ASOS and BE magazines. See pics, video, and highlights inside...

Divergent star Zoe Kravitz covers the April issue of ASOS Magazine.  She's rocking stylish prints from the British based e-commerce site--which happens to be one of our absolute faves.

Inside, she models ASOS clothing in a pictorial shot by Ben Sullivan and discusses spring trends, movies and her friend Jennifer Lawrence. Here are the highlights:

On her style:
“In high school, I was very eccentric…trying things out and wearing a lot of weird shit. Now I’m into t-shirts and jeans, dresses and floral prints. White t-shirts are my thing – vintage or ex boyfriends’ – love ‘em and take their shirts! And I’m really into the 90s thing. Now I get to dress like all the girls who were cool at the time – I’m living out the fantasy I had when I was 13.”

On the expectation of her new movie, Divergent:
“It’s a nerve wracking process…the book has fans and people are expecting things. They have ideas on what it should look like, or who should play the characters. I wasn’t aware of the books before I read the script, but that was a good thing, because I probably would have freaked out.”

On her friend Jennifer Lawrence’s second Oscar nomination:
“I texted Jen…I was like ‘Really?!’…she texted back, ‘I know people are going to think I’m sleeping with one of the Academy or something.’ But when it’s people you know getting nominated for Oscars, it’s like, wow, my generation’s here now, we’re being paid attention to.”

Love her style.  But really, only she can pull it off.

Also in magazines....

Mya is back and is covering the 2014 Spring Fling Issue for BE Magazine. Inside, the “House Party” singer is showcasing a sexier side.  And she's discussing spring style, lasting 20 years in the industry and her style. She also learns how to do Atlanta's latest #NaeNae dance craze.

A few highlights: 

You have a mantra called K.I.S.S. Can you tell our readers what K.I.S.S means?

Keep It Sexy and Simple (K.I.S.S) is basically all about LIFE. It means getting rid of all the necessary junk in your life and keeping it Sexy and Simple so you can obtain more...

Who are your go-to/must-have designers for the spring?

As far as shoes, Giuseppe is one of my favorites. I've loved them for years. The style and comfort of his shoes, and they are very consistent and different. And as far as clothes, I’m in love with Dolce and Gabbana. They always make dresses that fit the body like a glove...

Tell us about your ideal date?

Well if I’m all dressed up and dolled up, I expect to go out. I put effort and time into my make-up, hair and outfit so I want to have fun, BE fancy and go out somewhere to eat, not like BE in a club or in a movie...

Though Nas' daughter Destiny is 19-years-old, his baby momma Carmen Bryan says she's still owed $11K and Nas is a "criminal" deadbeat dad.  Get the deets on their latest legal battle and listen to Dawn Richard's remix of Katy Perry's Dark Horse.   

For the fellas who think 'baby mama' drama ends once the child reaches 18-years-old...think again.  Carmen Bryan, the mother of Nas's 19-year-old daughter Destiny Jones, has filed legal docs claiming Nas owes her more than $11K in back child support and claims that he refuses to pay Destiny's college tuition and medical bills.

She brands him a "repeat criminal non supporter" and asked the judge to cite him for contempt (and maybe throw him in jail). Goodness!

But Destiny surely seems to be all about her Daddy.  She's often seen right by his side at events and tweeting about spending QT with him.  And really, $11,000 for Nas is not a drastic amount.  Is it possible that someone just found a technicality or easibly rectified error and is trying to make someone else look bad by filing papers for it...instead of simply bringing it to his attention? 

In other Escobar news, he recently sat down with COMPLEX to discuss his brand new store in Las Vegas called 12 AM RUN, his love of sneakers and their place in hip hop.  Here are the highlights:

So one of the biggest sneaker hip-hop songs was "My Adidas" by RUN D.M.C. Do you remember how that song affected you?

Nas: We was already buying shelltoes. That was the hottest shoe, hands-down. When they made that song, it was right on time. It just went crazy. You had to have shelltoes. If you just got up on shelltoes when RUN-D.M.C. did it, then you were blown away, like what is this?

They had the blue stripes, red stripes, black stripes, you know. RUN-D.M.C.’s name should be on every pair of shelltoes right now. That may be my number-one sneaker. My favorite sneaker of all-time.

How long would you say you were into sneakers? How big is your collection?

Nas: Since I was a kid. My collection's too big. It needs its own house. I have storage for my sneakers.

What does the name 12AM RUN mean?

Nas: To me, 12 a.m. sounds like go time in Las Vegas. Run, that's athletics, feet, sneakers, movement. You hit the ground running here in Vegas.

This should be a Mecca for everything to happen in sneaker culture. I want Michael Jordan to throw his next party there. - Nas

Rappers are starting to actually design sneakers now. What are your thoughts on deals like Kanye/adidas or Drake/Jordan?

Nas: That's what we do. That is what we are all about. If those sneakers come out and kill, it just shows how much hip-hop guys love their shoes. Hip-hop guys should be behind the design of sneakers.

NS: I think its also hip-hop guys not doing it for hip-hop guys anymore. This is mainstream. I think that is pretty dope too. These guys are doing their signature shoes and it creates a bigger buzz than anything. For all of last year people talked about the red Yeezy. And it wasn’t just the hip-hop crowd, it was everybody. It shows the power of sneakers.

"Goldenheart" singer Dawn Richard (in case you didn't recognize her above), who recently reunited with Danity Kane, has lent her unique talents to a remix of Katy Perry's Dark Horse.  When speaking about the track, now called the "Unicorn Remix", Dawn said:

"It's always fun to be in the lab with NoisecastleIII. We were working on the Danity Kane project and decided to randomly take a break and this happened lol… For shits and giggles… Something only the hearts can appreciate. We always do things with our little twist. Done in true heart music form."

Former Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were spotted in Beverly Hills indulging in a little retail therapy. Check out their laid back looks inside…

Recently engaged Kelly Rowland and her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams were spotted together in Beverly Hills yesterday hitting up a few luxury department stores.

As you can see, Kelly does not have on her wedding ring, but she and Michelle had just come from working up a sweat at a Nike/Essence Magazine event, so that could explain why her ring was M.I.A.

The flawless 33-year-old was all smiles for the paps as she and Michelle walked out with their Barneys New York bags.  And the ladies kept it comfy in workout leggings and jackets.

And what brought on this shopping spree:

The Essence Magazine and Nike “Move More” event to benefit A World Fit For Kids organization.  They did yoga, Soul Cycle and other athletic activities.

Kelly posted to her Instagram along with celebs friends like Skylar Diggins, Jeanette Jenkins, Zendaya Coleman and plenty more. “Completed amazing day with amazing women at the #NikeWomen #ESSENCEredcarpet. And I was able to donate my fuel to @worldfitforkids.”
 

Work hard, play harder. Loves it.

Pharrell revealed how he made music to imitate Jay Z and Diddy while Diddy released some new music featuring Rick Ross. Find out what P had to say and listen to Diddy’s new track inside…

GQsat down with “Happy” creator Pharrell Williams to discuss his second solo album G I R L and how this album has more meaning than his previous work. He talked about success being a lot to handle and how the money, cars and women got to his head.

On his first solo album In My Mind:

“I wrote those songs out of ego. Talking about the money I was making and the by-products of living that lifestyle. What was good about that? What’d you get out of it? There was no purpose. I was so under the wrong impression at that time.”

“The money was too loud. The success was too much. The girls were too beautiful. The jewelry was too shiny. The cars were too fast. The houses were too big. It’s like not knowing how to swim and being thrown in the ocean for the first time. Everything is just too crazy. You’re like, flailing and kicking and whatever, and you know what happens, don’t you? You sink. My spirit sank. I just felt like, ‘Fuck, what am I doing?’ ”

On him creating music to be like Jay Z & Diddy:

“That was just bragging. I wanted to be like Jay. I wanted to be like Puff. Those are their paths. I got my own path. But I didn’t know what my path was. I knew that I was meant to do something different. I knew that I needed to inject purpose in my music.”

Pharrell recently spoke with TheYBF.com to address the controversy surrounding the lack of black women being used on his album cover. He revealed he DOES have a black woman on his album cover and that it’s unfortunate that it’s 2014 and we’re still stuck on the race topic.

In other music news…

Diddy just dropped a new single called “Big Homie,” which is actually his first single released in nearly 4 years.

Diddy and Rick Ross teamed up for the new track where they both brag about being the “big homie” calling all the shots.  Sounding a lot like Chuck Smith from "RHOA" right?

Mr. Ciroc is also co-executive producing Rick Ross’ delayed sixth-solo album Mastermind and he’s also been hinting at a new project titled MMM.
