Get your closed-captioned subtitles ready because T.I.’s wife Tiny and her friend/hair stylist Shekinah are bringing their antics (and down south slang) to a TV near you. Plus, Tracy Morgan is returning to primetime TV in a new comedy series. Catch up on the new TV shows inside...

As Tiny makes her rounds promoting “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” new season, she revealed she and her friend ShekinahJo will be starring in their own reality TV spinoff show with a Paris & Nicole Richie “The Simple Life” tease.

Tiny sat down with Madame Noire and dished on her new venture, saying they haven’t decided on a name just yet but according to the former Xscape singer, the show is going to be hilarious. We sure it will…just hope we can understand what they are saying to each other.

“We haven’t named it but it’s a Tiny and Shekinah show and it’s kinda gonna be like, this idea I had to be like ‘The Simple Life’ like Nicole [Richie] and Paris [Hilton]. So it’s going to be our version of that. We’re going to go on adventures and do a lot of things that we haven’t done. It’s going to be really hilarious. We’re going to start shooting in the end of April so this will be another one for me I’m just trying to up my stock.”

Here’s a sample (a deleted scene from "Family Hustle") of what we might see on their show:

Ha! Will you be tuned in?

And also on TV…

Nice.

TRUTH SERUM: Phylicia Rashad On 'Cosby Show' VS. Current Sitcoms -- "It Pales In Comparison"

When the mother of all TV mothers speaks, we listen.  And veteran actress Phylicia Rashad has some words about the current state of sitcoms...and she's not really here for it.

 

See why inside, plus what she says about how her "Cosby kids" turned out....

"The Cosby Show" vet Phylicia Rashad, who has been steadily working ever since, hit up HuffPost Live recently.  And in addition to promoting her new film in theaters nationwide called Frankie & Alice, starring Halle Berry, she spoke about the current state of television.  While we (meaning everyone who grew up watching "Cosby Show") have been saying for years how no current television show seems to compare, Ms. Rashad may have hit on the exact reason why.

She's dropping a little knowledge for the masses and writers and creators alike:

On comedy sitcoms today vs. "The Cosby Show"
“No comparison. I’m sorry, there just isn’t. I was in a class in Howard University. Greek literature, literature in the Greek theater. Dr. Frank Snowden was the professor. So he said to us one day after we had been studying the classics for a while, ‘Okay, which do you prefer, drama or comedy?’

And I was a drama student. I said ‘I like the drama, I love the drama.’
He said, ‘Really? Well, Phylicia, that’s very interesting you know. Drama appeals to the emotions, comedy appeals to the intellect.’
So the difference between Mr. Cosby’s humor and what you see a lot today? Think about that. It appealed to the intellect.”

On what causes the differences
“We had a team of writers who were paying attention. This is something else that’s different in television today. I just recently was on another television show and I wondered if the writers were ever in the same room together. Yeah, because they work differently today. But back then, the writers were in the same room all the time, and they’re paying attention and they’re growing and they’re moving together. Today, it’s a little bit different.”
 

Interesting!  And if you're wondering if she still plays a "mom" figure in real life to Cosby kids Keshia Knight Pulliam, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Tempestt Bledsoe, Lisa Bonet and Sabrina Le Beauf:

"These people are grown people," she said, correcting host Marc Lamont Hill's reference to the Cosby 'children.' "Some of them are parents. They're married -- they're beautiful adults. They're grand people. They are amazing human beings."

"I'm not surprised at their successes, I'm not surprised at their brilliance. I'm not surprised by any of it because it was very clear then--aha, these are some people!"

Rashad also commented on her relationship with Lisa Bonet, who left the show a few times due to creative differences. "I haven't seen Lisa in a very long time. She was my doll, she was my little kitten. I loved her dearly and I still do."

She added, "I think she has two sons now as well. I've never met them. And I understand that she's very happy, and that makes me very happy."

Check out her full interview below.  So fabulously regal, still.

 

 

KISSIN' & TELLIN': 50 Cent DISHES On His Past Relationships With Ciara, Vivica Fox, Chelsea Handler...And Talks About Rihanna

 photo 50Cent-Rickey.png

50 Cent is spilling all types of tea on his previous relationships with celebs including Ciara, Vivica Fox and Chelsea Handler. You won’t believe which of his past flings had him sprung (well, you might), how they broke up and what he said about Rihanna and her relationships…

We thought only a woman would "kiss and tell", but apparently, that’s no longer true. While on his promo campaign for his upcoming album Animal Ambition (dropping June 3rd), 50 Centhit up “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show” where he dished on his past relationships with dancing diva Ciara, actress Vivica A. Fox and television host Chelsea Handler.

In the interview, 50 revealed whether he has called Ciara since finding out she was pregnant (he's definitely still cool with her fam!), how he was extra sprung over Vivica Fox and how he and Chelsea Handler are still friends. The Queens rapper also talked about his beef with Rick Ross and boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, his relationship with his son’s mother and more.

Here are the highlights:

On if he’s congratulated Ciara on her pregnancy, expecting a baby with Future:
“I haven’t. I haven’t. I spoke to her grandmother last night. She’s a sweetheart.”

On if he’s still friends with Ciara and Chelsea Handler:
“Chelsea was cool. I may actually do a show [Chelsea Lately] before it’s over.” When asked if he was still friends with Chelsea, “Yea Yea…And me and Ciara are still friends. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the time that we spent during that period. You usually find out about my relationships after they’ve finished.”

On his public relationship with Vivica Fox:
“That was the only one. That was an accident. That sh*t happened so fast. I was so green, I was like the front lawn. You know how women say she need closure and she need to have that conversation or whatever it is…that may spin me right back into the actual relationship.
 

On how he broke up with Vivica:
“You know what happens…the touring. Our lives would be moving us into different directions at the same time so it’s enough space for us to actually still be in to each other. But if you’re away from each other and it’s not right, she’ll start getting off into things while you’re getting off into things at the same time. I like to float away.”

On Rihanna and Erykah Badu leaving dudes sick after they break up with them:
“Rihanna got a thing with her where she leaves the guys looking like they was the girls. They be hurt like what happened? The only person iller than her is Erykah Badu.” [Ha!]

50 had to pick who he would smash, marry or kill between Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and Chelsea Handler:
“I’d smash Rihanna because I didn’t do it. I’d kill Chelsea and try something different."  He was asked if he would actually marry Miley Cyrus he responded, “I’m trying something different. “

Oh Fif.  Check the full interview below:

Now that Ledisi is gearing up to star in the new season of "R&B Divas", the soul singin' chick has a new man we may be seeing.  Deets inside, plus former "R&B Divas" star Kelly Price's new video "It's My Time"...

Last night, TheYBF.com was on the scene for the Lexus Verses and Flow event at the Long View Gallery in D.C.  And when Ledisi took the stage to perform, the ESSENCE cover girl reminded us why we're fans.

She's dedicated a segment of her set to the ladies, saying that women HAVE to do better.  And then she revealed...she found herself a man:

"Ladies we have to do better. Stop talking about each other. If that sista thinks she looks good in that outfit, let her feel good about herself!  Strut! Love yourself by any means necessary."

She continued,

"When I stopped looking, I found a man! But I still strut in case he wanna act crazy!"

We're sure we'll get to find out who it is when "R&B Divas" airs this summer.

 

Meanwhile, a former "R&B Diva" is BOOKED.  Kelly Price's new "It's My time" video is out, and her new album is on the way.

And she's got tons of cameos: LisaRaye, Lance Bass, LaurieAnn Gibson, Luenell, Kenny Lattimore and more.  Check out the upbeat inspirational video above.

Kelly’s new studio album Sing Pray Love Vol.1 :Sing will be released in June 3rd, 2014.

Rapper The Game Allegedly Being INVESTIGATED For Domestic Violence Against Fiancée Tiffney

Uh Oh!  Major trouble in paradise...or whatever these two call their situationship.  Rapper The Game is under investigation for an alleged domestic dispute with his fiancée Tiffney Cambridge. Read the deets inside…

Compton rapper The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, has reportedly been named a suspect in a felony domestic violence investigation.

A police report was filed by Game’s fiancée Tiffney last weekend.

She claims that on March 19th her husband repeatedly hit her in the face which resulted in a broken nose and an injured eye socket after an argument erupted!  Sources say the police have photos of her injuries and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department has launched a criminal investigation on the rapper.

Game denies that he ever laid a hand on Tiffney telling TMZ,"I don’t want to give fuel to these false accusations, but the truth will definitely come out. I am always looking out for my children’s safety and have never laid a hand on Tiffney."

Hope they weren’t arguing over Game’s recent shenanigans with Khloe Kardashian

In case you didn’t know, the couple is currently filming for season 3 of their reality show “Marrying The Game.” 

Game even shared behind-the-scenes pics last week (above) of him and his son (below) as they taped their confessionals saying,“#MarryingTheGameSeason3 behind the scenes…. Interviews”

JUST MARRIED: Kandi Burruss & Todd Tucker Tie The Knot!

Finally!  It happened. "Real Housewives of Atlanta" stars Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are officially married after a wedding ceremony Friday evening.  Deets inside...

Kandi & Todd said "I Do!" tonight in a wedding that took place in Atlanta, Georgia.  The singer confirmed the news via her rep, and even gave a statement about her first few hours of officially being a wife:

"This is one of the best days of my life! I never imagined that I would marry my best friend. Todd’s been that to me," Kandi tells In Touch. "And to have just had the wedding of my dreams, it’s all been so beautiful. Now it’s time to party!"

After three years of dating, a season of Mama Joyce raising ratchet hell to block her daughter's blessings, and plenty of tears, Kandi & Todd are officially official. 

We're glad they finally took the leap, despite those who had an issue with their love. 

On the reality show Kandi's 11-year-old daughter, Riley, appeared supportive of the relationship, as did Todd's teenaged daughter.

It has yet to be confirmed which castmates attended Friday's wedding, but we wouldn't be surprised if everyone showed up to shower the couple with love.

And we're praying to God NOTHING like this went down, at all.

Congrats Kandi & Todd!

Today is the 41st birthday of a man who simply does not age….Pharrell Williams! Come inside and celebrate the many accomplishments of the Virginia-bred producer inside, and everything he has on deck…

Academy Award nominee Pharrell Williams has plenty to be “Happy” about with the incredibly successful year he’s been having so far.

Skateboard P garnered a lot of attention after rocking his Vivienne Westwood hat at this year’s Grammy Awards, which he ended up selling on EBay for $44,100 and donated to charity.

The uber stylish producer released his sophmore album G I R L and his catchy “Happy” single (from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack) blew up the pop charts, which landed him an Oscar nomination and allowed him to perform at the Academy Awards. But he didn’t stop there…

 photo pharrellthevoice-1.png

The super producer won 4 Grammys this year, he’s gearing up to debut his own clothing line with Adidas, he’s set to launch his first fragrance, brought his style to the cover of GQ magazine, declared “International Day of Happiness” AND he was just named one of the new coaches on the 7th season of the hit singing competition show “The Voice." Nice!

 photo GEO40409_1_zps67037422.jpg

As for what's up next: He's tonight's musical guest on "SNL".  And he filmed a sit down with Oprah for an all-new episode of “Oprah Prime” airing next Sunday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.

 photo GEO51525_1_zps19cea53c.jpg

In the episode, Oprah chats with Pharrell about his rise to fame and how his creative vision has propelled him to music superstardom. They also discuss his recent marriage to Helen Lasichanh and fatherhood.

 

And last night, he partied with is wife Helen (atop) and Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz at his SpongeBob SquarePants themed, 41st birthday party at Bikini Bottom at Cipriani Wall Street:

SNEAK PEEK: Tia & Tamera COVER "EBONY" Magazine + Tia Wants To Do A "Sister Sister" Movie

 photo tiatmss.jpeg

We have a sneak peek at TiaTamera Mowry's brand new EBONY cover, plus Tia reveals what she'd like to see in a "Sister Sister" movie....


Finally, two of our faves nab a cover!  Tia Mowry Hardrict and Tamera Mowry Housley cover next month's EBONY.  And they're looking fabulous.

Inside the issue, the "Sister Sister" and "Tia & Tamera" stars discuss their careers in Hollywood, marriage and motherhood.

Speaking of "Sister Sister", Tia revealed to OK! that she'd be interested in doing a movie based on the hit series and she even has a plot in mind!  She told the mag,

I would love to do Tia and Tamera go to Paris or to see where are they now. Maybe one of them’s married one’s not, one of them’s extremely successful and the other one’s struggling and she has to help the one who’s struggling. One of them has a family, the other one doesn’t. But I’m a huge fan of the Sex & The City movies and I love the way they put the girls out of their comfort zone so I would love to see that. Tia and Tamera somewhere out of their comfort zone, whether that’s traveling abroad to Morocco or Paris or Italy. Something fun like that.

Tia also told PEOPLE that her 2-year old son Cree has a favorite word -- "No" -- and he is a great negotiator.  She joked,

“I’m like ‘Honey, come on, we’re gonna have to learn how to say yes!’” she jokes. “I’m like, ‘Cree, what’s your name?’ ‘No.’ ‘Cree, how old are you?’ ‘No.’ ‘Cree, can I have a kiss?’ ‘No.’ Everything is no."  She added, “He’s negotiating with me. He’s not even three yet! Before he goes to bed, he likes to watch Little Einstein. I’m like,’We can’t watch too much of it because you have to go to bed.’ And he’s like, ‘Mommy, see Little Einstein. Five more minutes. [Saying no is] a problem. Then we end up watching it for 20, 30 minutes. He’s already negotiating with me — oh my God!”

Love these two!

Kandi's Wedding Dress? + Kandi & Todd's Wedding Filmed For TV Special?

 photo ScreenShot2014-04-05at95327AM_zps66863c7f.png

Did Kandi Burruss' bestie Tameka "Tiny" Harris accidentally reveal Kandi's unconventional wedding dress before her and Todd's big ceremony last night?  It seems she did.  Check it inside, plus deets on a possible tv wedding special...

Tiny is that friend who always spills the tea...isn't she?  Previously, she revealed her bestie Tamar Braxton's baby was a boy before Tamar could tell the world herself.  And last night, she tweeted out a pic of Tiny right before her wedding ceremony, but quickly deleted it.  But not before a screenshot was snapped...with the pic (above):

 photo ScreenShot2014-04-05at95345AM_zpsa58c44c9.png

At first glance, it seems to be a reception dress.  But based on Tiny's erased tweet, the pic was taken directly before the wedding ceremony.  Maybe the dress has an additional part that was going to be added on, or maybe she went the unconventional route with a wedding mini dress.

Her body's on point though, regardless.

Tamar snapped a pic of herself and hubby Vince at the wedding and gushed about weddings reminding her of their special day:

 photo ScreenShot2014-04-05at95656AM_zps7aadcf28.png

Friday night, Tiny posted a pic of the ladies at the rehearsal dinner:

 photo f9f965f0bba611e39889127781d381c8_8_zps7b1b08b2.jpg

Fantasia, Tiny, friend Tamera, and Rasheeda were all in attendance.

And whether or not we'll see the wedding for ourselves, it seems that we will.  In addition to the mega camera you can see in Tiny's pic atop, RHOA executive producer Carlos King posted a pic from the wedding...complete with mic packs and all:

 photo ea59d1cabc8711e3b3bd0002c9e093e6_8_zps23f86294.jpg

He said,"It's a wrap!!!! @kandiburruss and @todd167 is married!!! Congrats to the couple."

It's unclear as to which network the special will air, but we wouldn't be surprised if Kandi followed in er co-star NeNe Leakes' and former co-star Kim Zolciak's footsteps of a Bravo wedding special.

FRESH FACE: WWE's Ariane "Cameron" Andrew COVERS "ROLLING OUT", DISHES On SUCCEEDING In A Male-Dominated Arena

 photo hr-CR__7220.jpg

We can't be the only ones obsessed with E's show "Total Divas".  And now that the Funkadactyls have become two of our fave fab chicks, one half of the duo is getting her shine.  The fabulous Ariane Andrew covers the latest issue of ROLLING OUT where the "Total Divas" star dishes on her success in a world of muscle-bound men.  She's not your typical wrestler...

 photo HR-CR__7395.jpg

26-year-old Ariane Andrew, whose stage name is "Cameron", is breaking ground as one of the WWE Divas and stars of “WWE Monday Night Raw.” Every week, she reaches nearly 280 million fans around the world as one of the handful of African Americans who've become franchise players in the field (see WWE's David Otunga).  

During the first season of "Total Divas", we saw her struggle with fibroids and her (semi-funny) obsession with getting a boob job.

 photo HR-CR__7239.jpg

Now, fit and fab Ariane (who's WWE partner is fellow fab chick Trinity Fatu), is expanding her public persona with a cover story in ROLLING OUT.  We get to know who she is outside of the ring and how she found success in a male-dominated field.  Here are the highlights:

On being a role model:

I am happy to be black and a role model for little girls and boys to have an inspiration to look up to. WWE is a humongous, worldwide, international company. I am glad to be able to be a role model and to show kids [that] if you work hard, have dedication and have drive, you can achieve anything. The sky is the limit. You constantly see new demographics coming in and watching the show; especially now after ‘Total Divas.’

 

 photo HR-CR__7188.jpg

 

On finding success in a male-dominated field:

This is a sport that is usually dominated by men. So it’s awesome to be a strong, black American woman in a world that has been predominantly for men.

On her E! reality show "Total Divas":

“You have seven girls together so there’s going to be talk, there’s going to be drama and there’s going to be breakups. It’s a competitive world. You see all of us girls duke it out trying to make it to the top. At the end of the day, we are family and we come together and we are friends. But, you see the roller coaster of emotions.”

On being a top wrestler:

No one can just get into the ring. It requires a lot of practice. I had to go into the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental program in Orlando, Fla. It’s where the WWE superstars and divas go to train before they can make it to the main roster. Taking a bump is not easy. The people you see on TV doing this all trained hard. It looks easy, but it really isn’t. You have to have thick skin and work hard to perform inside the ring.

 

 photo HR-CR__7260.jpg

 

On finding love and mainting a relationship:

With our job, we have very busy schedules and we are on the road a lot. It’s not like any other sport where there is an off-season. We are constantly going. You miss birthdays and special occasions, but that’s all a part of being in this business. Sometimes it can be difficult, but I feel like if you have someone who is strong and supportive and he’s going to be down for you, then the relationship is going to be great. No matter what relationship you have, there [will] always be ups and downs. My boyfriend is amazing and strong; he is perfect sometimes. I feel like no matter which way you choose, relationships are going to have pros and cons. But, I love my man and he is super supportive.

On participating in Wrestemania 30 (April 6th, in New Orleans):

It’s a dream to walk down that ramp at WrestleMania. I’ve been a part of WrestleMania before as a dancer, but my dream for this year is to actually step in the ring and be able to take action. It’s an amazing experience. I’m definitely looking forward to WrestleMania.

Shayne and Bria, the oldest daughters of Eddie and Nicole Murphy abide by the law....much like their fabulously fit mom.  The twosome are on vacay...from what exactly we're not sure since their posh life IS a vacay....but everybody needs some beach life evey now and then:

We hope the execs over at Victoria's Secret...or somewhere...are paying attention. Looking great ladies!

REVELATIONS: Pastor Mase & Wife Twyla Lied? Docs Prove They Are NOT Getting Back Together, Still Fighting Over Custody & Spousal Support

Newly discovered court documents revealed that Mase and his wife Twyla Betha actually split two years ago and have been "frontin" for their ATL congregation.  Get more divorce revelations inside...

Remember we told you about Mase and Twyla getting a divorce...and then we found out they were back together?  Well....all of that was a front. ALL OF IT.  

It turns out, TMZ did some digging and Twyla filed legal separation documents in San Diego (right AFTER Mase filed for divorce in Atlanta).  The docs revealed they split back in 2012.  That means, every Sunday morning service, every communion, every baptism, every book fair, every lecture was under the cloud of a lie.  They haven't been a "happily" married couple for YEARS.  All the while, they've been peddling their book.  So it looks like they played the part in order to sell their ish.

Well...now that the "truth" is out, we went over to the church website and the beautiful photos of the pastor and first lady all coupled up and talking about a good "marriage" have been replaced with an homage to"Footprints in the sand." Maybe they're asking the good Lawd to carry them into new relationships?

Kwasi Enin appeared on David Lettermen while Nas talked politics and sports with Bill Maher.  Watch the clips inside....

Kwasi Enin appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman where he offered advice, via Letterman's funny Top 10 list, on making a college application stand out.  He would know since he got into all 8 ivy league schools.  Good luck on writing those essays!

 

Also on late night....

Nas appeared on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" where he discussed DeSean Jackson being released from the Philedelphia Eagles reportedly due to suspicion of gang ties

When Bill posed the question, Nas replied,“I just wanna know who is the gang sign-ologist in the NFL. I didn’t know they had crips and bloods on payroll.”  Nas argued Desean threw up signs...but signs for what?  Who's  to say it was a gang thing?

Check out the clip above.

Not gonna lie.  This season is damn near impossible to stomach.  But, we're giving it chance...

Mama Joyce THROWS Shade At Kandi's Wedding, Says "The Worst Is Yet To Come" + Wendy Williams ON VACAY With Husband Big Kev, IGNORES Cheating Accusations

Now that Kandi Burruss is officially married to Todd Tucker, Mama Joyce is throwing post wedding shade.  See what she said inside and see Wendy on vacation with her two Kevs....  

In case you missed it, Kandi Burruss married Todd Tucker last week and Mama Joyce is STILL upset.  During a post-wedding chat with Too Fab, Mama Joyce threw shade at the newlyweds and spilled deets on Todd's pre-nup.  Here are the highlights:

On her post-wedding thoughts about Kandi and Todd's marriage:

I had no reason to bite my tongue. I’m not gonna be the one to stop her from jumping into the fire. I tried, I did all that ahead of time. Too late for me to pull out of it then, not gonna make a fool outta myself!

On Todd being a "shark' and the worst is yet to come:

Long as she’s happy, that’s the one that has to be happy. Doesn’t make no difference if I’m happy or not, she’s the one that has to live with him. I did everything I could do. If she’s jumping in the river with sharks, she’s gonna get chewed up. It’s not about me, whether I’m right or wrong. People show you their best when you’re dating them, so if she’s seeing the best now, the worst is yet to come.

On the speech she gave to Kandi and her wedding guests:

I said, ‘She looks very happy. I’m happy that she’s happy and I hope that she continues to be happy. I hope she’s always as happy as she was last night.’

On Todd's prenup situation:

I got a little pissed at the bridegroom the night before this wedding. He kind of held up on signing the prenup and didn’t come to the rehearsal dinner because he didn’t want to sign it. His mom said she didn’t see no reason for him to have to sign because they were in love. He was the one who didn’t have a damn thing, but that’s another story. But from what I understand, he did sign.

 

In other happy couples.....

While on hiatus, Wendy Williams sharing a bikini pic from her vacay telling fans"Loving vacation but can't wait to reunite with all of you! Xox #imonaboat #lol #vacation #paradise"

 photo pinkww2.png

While on vacay with her two Kevs, Big Kevin and Little Kevin, Wendy  seems very happy in spite of what Evelyn Lozada might think.  You'll recall, Evelyn returned some shade after Wendy called her baby a "cash register."  Evelyn tweeted that Big Kev had purchased a pair of shoes for another woman at her old show boutique outside of Miami.  Messy.  It's interesting that Wendy NEVER talked about THAT on hot topics. 

Oh well......."Wendy" returns live on April 14th.
