Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted dining out in New York City while Rihanna and Drake hit the club in London.  See their candids inside....

Kim and Kanye aka #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple were spotted in NYC's fashionale Greenwich Village last night.

The couple had dinner at the posh Waverly Inn, a popular NYC eatery owned by Vanity Fair's editor-in-chief Graydon Carter.  Hmm....working on another high-profile cover story?  

They dined with Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour aka the woman who made Kim's dreams come true. 

Across the pond...... 

Following his second sold out show at the O2 Arena in London, rap superstar Drake headed to Tramp nightclub.

After Drake walked in...can you guess which pop princess followed behind? If you guessed Rihanna...you're right.  You'll recall that we suspected Rihanna was headed to London to meet up with Drake when we saw her at Heathrow. 

Wearing a cream fur coat with a black Trapstar T-shirt, short shorts and black and red Nike high tops, Riri was careful to avoid having her picture taken with Drake. She and her bestie Melissa followed a few paces behind Drake and his entourage as they entered the club.

TheYBF.com was on the rehearsal set of “The Soul Man” and we got a chance to talk to guest-star Brandy Norwood. Check out pics and TheYBF.com's chit chat with “The Game” star inside…

The TV Land sitcom “The Soul Man” is back for a new season and Brandy (along with Martin Lawrence and a musical performance by B.o.B) will be making a guest appearance for the LIVE season 3 premiere.

YBF L.A. correspondents Kalia Silva and Lauren Smith caught up with the R&B starlet and in our exclusive sit down she quietly dished on her “Soul Man” role as Rita, working with “The Soul Man” cast, the difference between taping a live show verses a taped show and more. We had to keep quiet to keep from disturbing their rehearsal!

Here are the highlights:

On her "Soul Man' character Rita:
“My character is Rita and she’s a background singer and a background dancer [to Cedric the Entertainer’s character] and she has a secret that everybody can see...but she is lying about it.”

On working with “The Soul Man” cast:
Brandy said working on this set doesn’t feels like a job and she loves working on projects that don’t feel like a job.

On the difference between working on a live show verses a taped show:
“When cameras and an audience are around something happens to me.” She said working on this show is completely different from working on “The Game” because they get a chance to interact with an audience and she loves an audience.

On her new music:
“I’m working on it.” Brandy revealed she’s focusing on acting right now. She admitted her "rap" career is over even though it never really started.

On doing another reality show:
Nope! “I’m not loud enough. I just don’t feel big enough for reality. I’d rather play big characters.”
 

Check out the entire interview below:

Tune in tonight for the live season 3 premiere of TV Land's “The Soul Man” at 10:30/9:30c

Pop stars Alicia Keys,Pharrell Williams and Kendrick Lamar were spotted filming their "It's On Again" video. See candids inside....

Fresh off her family vacay in St Barts with Swizz Beatz (and his ex-Mashonda), Alicia Keys headed to LA to shoot the video for "It's On Again" from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack.

Alicia tapped Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell to assist her on "It's On Again", the first track from the Spiderman 2 (which features Jamie Foxx as Electro).

Although he’s being investigated by the LAPD, Columbus Short was in good spirits on the set of “Scandal” yesterday. Also, Robin Thicke is back to work after all his marriage drama. Check out the pics inside…

"Scandal" star Columbus Short is back to work after a reported bar brawl.  From the looks of it, Columbus isn’t letting any of that drama get to him as he looked completely unbothered while smoking his electronic cigarette. 

He laughed it up as he watched something on his cell phone. Maybe the video of the guy he beat up? Just a thought…
 

We've also learned that he and his wife Tanee McCall-Short (whom he reconciled with earlier this month), will star opposite each other in “THE END AGAIN,” a film produced by Columbus' Great Picture Show Productions and Great Fortune Films.

UPDATE:

The LAPD have issued an arrest warrant for Columbus for one count of felony aggravated battery. His bond has been set at $50,000. So far, he has not turned himself in.

Another celeb who’s back to work…

Robin Thicke was all smiles as he grabbed his golden mic to perform at the EXPRESS Times Square grand opening in NYC on yesterday.

It seems Robin’s public antics (breaking down on stage singing “Let’s Stay Together”) may possibly have persuaded Paula Pattonto give him another chance after it was reported that the couple might be reconciling.

If Paula does take him back, we hope he makes it right this time.

In other baby news...... 

Last night, in addition to her celebratory dinner with Kanye and Anna Wintour at the Waverly Inn, Kim Kardashain stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers where sis dropped a very interesting BTS tidbit.  During her cover shoot with Kanye for VOGUE, North West peed on Kanye!

"North peed on him right at that moment.  And he was trying to tell me, and I couldn't really hear him, but I had to get up and get her, clean her off, clean him off. It's a good memory."

She also shared why the cover is such a big deal.

"I know it's a first of a lot: They were telling us that Kanye is the first rapper to be on, and I'm the first reality person to be on and the first interracial couple, so all of this just means so much I think to Kanye and I. Every girl I think grows up dreaming they could be on the cover of Vogue, and I collected vintage Vogue's forever, and it's just honestly the biggest dream come true, and I'm so honored to be on the cover."

Wendy Williams seems to have ruffled Evelyn Lozada’s feathers and Ev fired shots right back at Wendy. Find out what Wendy said that got Ev’s panties in bunch inside…

Evelyn Lozada was a “hot topic” on the Wendy Williams’ show on Monday and it has Ev extremely pissed off.

During the show, Wendy congratulated Evelyn on the recent birth of her baby boy Carl Jr. (whom she shares with fiance LA Dodgers baller Carl Crawford) but she threw in a bit of shade while doing so.

Wendy said,“Evelyn gave birth to a cash register…I mean… a baby boy with her fiancé, the $142 million Carl Crawford. I didn’t mean to make that cash register joke, but you see why it’s easy to be said.”

She added, “Here’s what I’m thinking, Ev. You should become involved in a lot of charity work. And also talk to your man about opening you up another Dulce…except Dulce Beverly Hills, not Dulce Miami.”

Ev must have gotten wind of Wendy’s comments and went on a Twitter rant exposing Wendy’s husband. According to the “BBW” star, Wendy’s husband purchased shoes from her store in Miami for another woman! She even named the designer shoes he bought.

Read from the bottom up:

Chiiiiiiile...

Since she slays with gorgeous skin on a daily basis, it's only right Kelly Rowland has become the official celebrity Fabulista for Caress.  And since she's homeless when it comes to a record label home, this new venture is right on time...

Caress has announced the "Kisses Down Low" singer Kelly Rowland as their celebrity Fabulista today in NYC.

Her job...other than being a walking billboard for flawlessness: To inspire women to enjoy every day experiences in a fresh way.

Kelly said during her campaign that she knows how important it is to kick off every morning feeling fabulous, so Caress' Emerald Rush is what she lathers up with.  If only that was ALL we needed to look like THAT.

Peep her first promo pic above.

Meanwhile, she's working on new music with a totally fresh sound.  But new music...for a different record label.

After rumors circulated that Kelly was leaving Universal Republic after two solo albums, it's officially official.  She told Huff Post Live:

“I feel like right now, I just needed something new and I’ve earned the right to make my own choices and make my own decisions,” said Kelly. “I wish them well, they wish me well. No hard feelings, I just needed a fresh, new start.”

She hasn’t decided on her next move. “There are different offers on the table,” she said. “I just want to see what it feels like. I’m just in the studio on my own and just having a really good time just being creatively free.”

She also spoke about being influenced by the Queens like Diana Ross...and reading movie script roles.  Work Kelly!

Tami’s publicist released a statement saying:

Members of Mase's congregation is speaking out about their pastor's double life as man of God/gangsta rapper and now they may stop tithing!  Oh no!  More inside.....

Mase is back.  We're talking about the REAL Mase.  Not Mason Betha....the pastor of El Elyon International Church in Atlanta. We mean Murda Ma$e...the dude who ran Harlem with Cam'ron.  He's about that life (again) and his Instagram proves it.  Or whatever.

So.....how does a Pastor go from the scripture to the club?  Hmmm.....the members of his congregation would like to know too.  Things started to fall apart after those reported "secret" divorce proceedings, which he NEVER told his church about.  Members began to question how he could preach the virtues of marriage while secretly heading off to Divorce Court (especially if it was with Judge Lynn or Judge Mablean).

Then, his verse on "Tricky Situation" hit the web.  Does your pastor rap about banging women with husbands or fiancès? If you're a member of El Elyon....your answer would be "YES."

Now......TMZ reports that things are not well with the congregation and there's talk of de-funding the church (no mo' tithes).  

It's a situation indeed...

While Drake fans were getting knocked down as he entered his after party in London, his newest boo Rihanna was partying elsewhere away from Drizzy...which hasn't happened much this last month or so.

Check the pics inside...

After hitting up Drake's first London tour stop Monday night, Rihanna and her red veil trekked it to Tramp nightclub in London for the second evening in a row Wednesday night:

The "Pour It Up" singer flossed her killer legs in a black mini dress and gold metallic Louboutin pumps.  And even though she wasn't partying with Drake like she usually has been recently, she was right down the street from where he was partying it up.

Drake and this Joe Namoth fur made his way to his tour afterparty at DSKRKT.

Apparently, the rapper's security had to protect him from fans who were losing their minds and clamoring to get at him....so there are reports of fans getting knocked down as he entered the party.

Maybe that's why Rih stayed a safe distance away that night...

It looks like Columbus Short has put on his 'Harrison' hat to fix this alleged violent scandal he's going through.  And his FIX appears to include convenient paparazzi shots of him and his family looking like all is well...

Yesterday, 'Scandal' star Columbus Short was seen strolling through The Grove with his wife Tanee and their daughter in Los Angeles.  And while we rarely, if ever, see the family out and about....they were front and center in the paparazzi cams amidst Columbus' violent past coming to light.

Now that we're all aware of the bar brawl foolery where Columbus has been accused of beating up a patron, more of Columbus' violent past has come to light.  TMZ reports that he was arrested for physically attacking his wife in front of their kids this past February, had a police report filed on him 2 weeks later for allegedly pushing his wife during an argument, and back in 2010 he was prosecuted for beating up a dude on the basketball court.

By the way, Columbus was also spotted on the "Scandal" set earlier this week, seemingly unfazed by the bar brawl situation.

Despite producing mega-hits for The Fugees and Whitney Houston, accountants for Wyclef Jean say he's flat broke!  More inside....

If you're one of Wyclef Jean's creditors, don't hold your breath on the 1st and 15th because he won't be making payments!  The famed hip hop producer ("Hips Don't Lie", "911", "Gone Til' November") is flat broke....so say his accountants.  In documents obtained by The Smoking Gun, Clef's former lawyers have filed a six-figure legal judgment against him for failing to make agreed-upon payments to reduce his debt.

Based on what we've read, Clef owes:

$2.9 million in tax liens to the IRS (which remain outstanding)

$133,000 to the law firm Shukat Arrow Hafer Weber & Herbsman

Now...here's where it gets funny and/or sad. When the law firm told Clef's accountant, David Levin, that they planned to file a lawsuit, he said, “File it. In my most professional verbiage…there ain’t no money.”

DAMN!  Hmmm.....You'll recall that Clef was also under scrutiny over funds donated to his Haiti relief effort a few years ago.

He might be bad with money, but he looks good in a speedo.

Although NeNe Leakes has been open about certain parts of her past (even though she denied, then admitted to being a stripper), there are skeletons in her closet that have been locked away…until now. Find out the deets on NeNe’s criminal past inside…

It seems NeNe Leakes and ex-pal Marlo Hampton have more things in common than we know. Known for “keeping it real”, “RHOA” star NeNe Leakes has a criminal past that has pretty much stayed under the radar...until now.

In her autobiography, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, NeNe admitted she was pulled over by the police after her friend shoplifted from a mall. She revealed she and her friends spent the weekend in jail and she was released, after she told authorities it was her friend who lifted the merchandise and not her. She didn't mention her other arrests though....

Star Magazinehas obtained documents from the Athens-Clarke County Superior Court in Georgia.  And according to the docs, the “DWTS” star (whose maiden name is Linnethia Johnson) was arrested in 1992. She was charged with one misdemeanor and three felony counts of “theft of services” from a phone company.

NeNe pleaded guilty to all four counts and settled on a plea agreement. She was ordered to serve two years probation and had to refund the phone company $2,650. While being on probation, she continued to violate the terms and was arrested an additional three more times.

We did a little digging ourselves and found where she violated her probation three times:

(CLICK DOCUMENTS ABOVE FOR FULL SIZE)

Will this revelation hurt her chances on “DWTS?” We hope not since everyone has some type of past. NeNe has definitely come so far, so we'll see…

BONUS:

And to add insult to injury, “RHOA” star Kenya Moore talked to In Touch magazine and had a few choice words about her co-star.

Although NeNe likes to see herself as being on a “different level” than the other ladies on the show, Kenya feels NeNe is nothing more than a “former stripper", according to In Touch.

When asked if she’ll be watching her former friend on “Dancing With The Stars,” Kenya replied, “I’ll turn it on if I want to go to sleep.”

Bloop...

Love is in the air!  And so are furs on men, apparently.   Evan Ross and his fiancée Ashlee Simpson are ready to walk down the aisle and say “I Do!” Check out the pics of the happy couple at their engagement party last night inside…

“CrazySexyCool” actor Evan Ross is gearing up to marry his “singer” fiancée Ashlee Simpson, throwing an engagement party to celebrate. On Wednesday, family and friends came out to celebrate the future Mr. & Mrs. Evan Ross, in which they’re both super excited about.

The couple dressed alike in matching gray/silver outfits. Not sure why Evan decided to wear that short-sleeved shaggy fur coat, but it’s rather interesting to say the least.

Evan’s mother, Diana Ross was there and was simultaneusly celebrating her70th birthday, making the party extra special. Happy Birthday Diana!
 

Evan shared the picture above of him kissing his future wife with his big sisters, Tracee Ellis Ross and Chundney Ross looking on saying, “Stealing a kiss from @missbananahammock while she is hanging with my sister @traceeellisross and #chudneyross . We know how to celebrate”

Wondering what Tracee really said though...

Sweet.  Congrats to the couple!
