After a week long family “push gift” vacation in Mykonos, LeBron and Savannah James headed back to their hometown of Akron, Ohio to celebrate their daughter’s upcoming arrival.

A glowing Savannah looked effortlessly beautiful in a long flowy blush gown and flowered crown as she was all smiles, snapping a photo with her sister Deidre Norris (who serves on the LeBron James Family Foundation board), her mother-in-law Gloria James and her own mother.

LeBron was overjoyed during the occasion, posting the picture above with the caption,

The glowing mother-of three-to-be posed it up with Sports & Entertainment realtor Tomi Rose. She captioned, “The Baby Shower was wonderful and SO much fun! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate my new little one! Hope everyone had a good time! Xo #LoveYouAll”

Family and friends filled the outside event to celebrate little Zhuri Nova James' entrance into the world (which isn't too much longer). She will be joining big brothers LeBron James, Jr. and Bryce Maximus James.

Nicki's party also brought out Trey Songz (who's heading on tour with Chris Brown) and oddly....rapper Mase was spotted in the building.

 

Also in the LA area....

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hosted a private event celebrating the launch of Pineapple Ciroc. Will.I.am of the Black Eyed Peas came out to toast with Diddy.

At the launch party, waitresses walked around with fresh pineapples, Pineapple Ciroc and a large amount Ace of Spades champagne!

"Good Deeds" Idris Elba tossed back some Ciroc with Diddy.  Hmm...we're wondering why Mase (not pictured) went to Nicki's party and didn't attend Diddy's event?

BREAKING: Young Jeezy ARRESTED After Police Find Assault Rifle On His Tour Bus

For the second time this year, rapper Young Jeezy has landed himself behind bars. Find out why inside…

With just three more stops left, the “Under the Influence” tour just received yet another blow.

Over the weekend, Wiz Khalifa had to cancel his gig in Chula Vista, Cali after reports about a fatal shooting that occurred backstage at a prior concert, resulting in the death of a 38-year-old man. An investigation was initiated and of course, the authorities decided to search the rappers' tour buses.

Young Jeezy’s tour bus was searched outside of the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, CA last night, in connection of the shooting, which resulted in the “Seen It All” rapper being arrested. According to TMZ, law enforcement officials found an assault rifle they believe belongs to the Atlanta rapper, so he was put in handcuffs and hauled off to jail. In addition to Jeezy’s arrest, members from his entourage were also detained for gun possession.

This caused Jeezy to miss his performance in Irvine last night and it also marks the second time the rapper has landed in jail this year. Back in January, he was arrested for false imprisonment, battery, and making terrorist-like threats...towards his own son.

As of now, he's still in custody and is being held on a $1,000,000 bail.This all comes a week before his upcoming album Seen It All drops September 2nd.

We'll keep you updated...

While chatting up Ross Matthews on the E! Red Carpet Show, the 2-time Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series nominee gushed about her baby girl saying, "My little girl is 4 months. She's fantastic. She's great."  And about whipping that body back into shape she revealed, "A lot of working out, that's it."

As for what we can expect from the upcoming season of "Scandal" that's only one month away:

"It is going to be Olivia centric, but its also going to be very 'Abby' this season. They both have complicated relationships. You're going to find out where that plane went. The bags [that covered up the pregnancy] are going to be smaller again..."

Ha!  Good to now.

Are we loving Kerry's look tonight?

Columbus Short Spotted For The First Time Since Arrest...Snapping Pics Of Paparazzi

 photo wenn21644360_zps941dc7ce.jpg

After getting booked last week after finally turning himself in Columbus Short is back on the move.  Check out his latest antics inside...

Thanks to former "Scandal" star Columbus Short hiding out from authorities and ignoring his active warrant for arrest in California, he finally turned himself in a few days ago in L.A. to authorities...but was hit with a major bail amount. He was a wanted man for missing court appearances linked to recent domestic violence charges involving his estranged wife.

Now, he's headed back to Atlanta, where his new girlfriend lives.  But he's not hopping on the plane without a few antics first. 

The cameras spotted him at LAX on Monday checking in to his flight.  And the dude whipped out his own camera to sap pics at the paparazzi. It seems he likes to play games with the paps, media....and even the cops.

 

 photo wenn21644372_zpsd19d57ac.jpg

No telling his reason why he decided to start snapping pics, but something tells us Columbus is loving all this attention he' been getting recently.

He also posted a pic of himself aboard his flight saying:

Ever since the new season of "Braxton Family Values" kicked off recently, the internet memes...and enemy K.Michelle...have been coming for Tamar Braxton about her missing edges.  And Tamar has finally responded to set the record straight.  Check it inside...

Not sure why all this talk and attacks on hair have become status quo on the innanets, but things just got a little more dramatic between Tamar & K.Michelle.

In their umpteenth beef of the year, K.Michelle referenced an internet meme that uses the pic below from a recent episode of "BFV":

 photo BvIUoKZIgAAAEAg_zps8166f461.jpg

Now we all know women are sensitive about the ish talking about their hair.  So K., whose new "My Life" reality show premieres Nov. 3rd on VH1, went for the jugular posting this subliminal:

 photo ScreenShot2014-08-26at90848AM_zpsee413bc0.png

Oh K.Michelle.

Tamar had finally had enough and posted her explanation, saying that once she had her baby, her hair fell out.  But she's in the process of getting all that fixed.

 photo ScreenShot2014-08-26at91054AM_zps01e1a6e6.png

"The Real" host posted a pic from her the BET Awards 2013 red carpet when she was still pregnant with Logan to prove she had edges right before giving birth.

Now that the mystery of Tamar's edges has been solved...hopefully K.Michelle and everyone else concerned can sleep soundly tonight.

Deborah Cox REVEALS How Prepared For The Whitney Houston Story, DISHES ON Perfecting Her Tone And Whitney''s Best Advice

0

 photo dcosstudiodeewcw.png

Singer Deborah Cox opened up to Billboard about recreating Whitney Houston's precision vocals for the upcoming Angela Bassett-directed LIFETIME biopic.  Find out how she recreated Whitney's tone and emotion inside...

 

Although she's collected 12 #1's on Billboard's Dance Chart, "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" singer Deborah Cox realized she had huge shoes to fill when Angela Bassett tapped her to recreate Whitney Houston's vocals for Lifetime’s I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story,” starring Yaya DaCosta (coming in 2015).

During a sit down with Billboard.com, Deborah opened up about the task at hand, “I knew I had some big shoes to fill...But I did the job that was supposed to be done.” Check out what she told Billboard about working on the movie, the best advice Whitney gave her and the new music she's creating:


On joining the Whitney biopic:
Deborah Cox: Angela, who is a friend, approached me about singing a few songs. She and I -- along with [songwriter/producer] Dick Rudolph, who is also closely supervising the music -- went into the studio to record “Greatest Love of All,” “I Will Always Love You,” “I’m Every Woman” and “I’m Your Baby Tonight” strictly for the film. There is no soundtrack. Obviously, the best-case scenario would be to use Whitney’s voice. But we’re all very passionate about telling Whitney’s story with integrity and very sensitive to all the talk. It’s been a complete honor to do this.

On how she recreated the magic of Whitney's tone and emotion:
The key was to sing in a tone as close to Whitney’s as possible, purely from the heart. None of Deborah Cox seeped into the performances. I have a little more of a cry in my tone when I sing certain things; her tone is round and warm. It was about creating the essence of her. I still haven’t read the script. Angela would tell me what was happening in a particular scene, so I sang with the spirit of that in mind. She was directing me in the studio, which was cool. I was very unbiased. I didn’t have any preconceptions.

On working with Whitney and the best advice she ever gave her:
“Go on, girl!” She was always that kind of motivator when working with her in the studio. Doing that single was a dream come true. She loved singing with other singers; there’s a great exchange and camaraderie that can happen. We laughed and had fun telling stories about the business. And I heeded a lot of her advice like have children and don’t miss out on personal things. I was honored to have those quiet moments with her. I always say I came from the School of Whitney Houston. Her style helped me understand the kind of artist I wanted to be.

On having 12 No. 1s on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart:
It’s been an amazing ride with dance taking off over the years. Both my No. 1’s, “We Can’t Be Friends” and “Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here,” were a springboard for everything, allowing me to do a number of different projects. It’s all about longevity in this business, which is hard to come by. It’s all in the song. And I’ve had the opportunity to work with great songwriters and producers.

On her upcoming work:
I’m looking for that to happen in 2015 through Primary Wave/BMG. Hopefully, I’ll have a new song out by the end of this year. I’m really focusing on well-penned songs … something I can really sink my teeth into. I love melodies and great stories in sync with what’s going on in my life.

Billboard caught up with Angela Bassett on the red carpet for the 2014 Emmys and they asked her about the controversy surrounding the film. She said, "It felt like it was flowing from the beginning. Except me with the learning curve, you know. Coming from one side of the camera to the other...Controversy can be good. It can pique your interest."

While on the red carpet for the 2014 MTV VMAs, Jenny From The Block revealed that she and Iggy have already shot a Hype Williams-directed video for the song.  Hmm....we wonder will it be as ASSful as Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video?!

Mike Epps Does FIRST Table Read Session With Oprah & Lee Daniels For Upcoming Richard Pryor Biopic

 photo rp1.png

Looks like Mike Epps will be starring as Richard Pryor for an upcoming biopic based on his life. And guess who is also working on the new film? Oprah& director Lee Daniels! Get the deets inside…

A Richard Pryor biopic is in the works. And it looks like the film gods have decided on who will play the legendary comedian. Funnyman Mike Epps!

In addition to Mike portraying Richard Pryor, award winning director Lee Daniels will be directing the film and media queen Oprah will likely star in the film or will likely be working behind the scenes…OR both. Just like she’s doing with another upcoming movie, a feature drama about Martin Luther King‘s 1965 landmark voting rights campaign titled, Selma.

 photo rp2.png

There was some confusion on who was actually cast to play Richard Pryor, after Nick Cannon started an Instagram campaign, hinting he would be playing the groundbreaking comedian. There were also rumors that comedian Marlon Wayans and actor Michael B. Jordan were up for the role as well. But, Mike reportedly blew Lee Daniels and producers (The Weinstein Company) away with his audition and that's how he secured the golden gig. It's also being reported Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are in the running to play Richard's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, in the film.

And get this…Mike has already studied Richard Pryor for another movie role. He plays the iconic comedian in Cynthia Mort's Nina Simone film that stars Zoe Saldana (which still has not been confirmed when it will hit theaters). 

In an instagram post, Lady O shared her excitement after finishing up from a table read. She captioned,“@theoriginalbigdaddy , @eppsie , and me just finished a great 1st read session. #RichardPryorMovie”

But like many of the other biopics that are currently in the works (i.e. Aaliyah, Whitney Houston), the film comes with some controversy. And for this particular film, it’s coming from Richard Pryor’s son, Richard Pryor Jr. According to TMZ, Richard Jr. accuses his father’s widow, Jennifer, of using "illegal, fraudulent" activity to get the rights. He has threatened legal action if the movie goes forward.

 

Guess he will be heading to court soon because from the looks of these new pics, the movie is clearly in the works.

After the 2014 EMMY telecast, several of our favorite YBF celebs hit the scene to celebrate one of Hollywood’s most exciting nights. See pics from parties hosted by HBO and FOX inside….

“Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams was among the celebs who attended HBO's Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Post Award Reception held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood last night. It was great to see Jesse in a “lighter space” as he spent most of last week on various cable shows defending the Ferguson protests.

Idris Elba hit the HBO party in his Gucci tux. (Yes, GAWD.)  He was nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie category for his work on "Luther".

“ET” correspondent Rocsi Diaz changed into a classic glam look as she worked the red carpet.  Gorgeous.  Chick really has polished her style these days;

Chris and Adrienne Bosh are making most of the NBA break, spending time on both coasts. They made an attractive couple on the red carpet.  Even if Adrienne looked like she was about to hit up Studio 66...

Emmy nominee Laverne Cox made history this year as the first openly trangender actress to be nominated for a leading role.  And she changed from her white Marc Bouwer gown into this gorgeous silver number.

 Tamera Mowry-Housley, wearing Azzedine Alaia, was spotted at the FOX 2014 Emmy Award Nominee Celebration at Vibiana in LA.  Looks like somebody's got a nice tan before the start of her show "The Real".

FOX correspondent and “Clueless” star Stacy Dash added a hint of fur to her attire.  Hope she didn't get into a battle of words with Jesse Williams, who's been pretty vocal about the heavy social & racial issues going on right now.

Rocking a comfy blue maxi dress and sandals, just a couple days after sitting front row at the VMAs, Kelly Rowland looked radiant as she embarked on a mid-day juice run to Pressed Juicery in Beverly Hills today.

The newlywed kicked off her week in a very supportive roll, sitting alongside Jay Z and Blue Ivy to cheer on Beyonce during her performance at the 2014 MTV VMAs.  And to watch her long time bestie receive the Vanguard Lifetime Achievement Award.

As she awaits the birth of her baby boy, Kelly has been hitting the studio and working on new material. Hmm…we wonder if motherhood will change the tone of her music. It never stopped a few of her mommy besties from being sexy!

Paula Patton has been of the scene ever since the divorce from Robin Thicke got super real.  And she brought her super toned body to the HBO EMMY afterparty Monday night and Craig's last night.  Check out the newly single woman inside...

Jumping The Broom star Paula Patton is letting the world know she's back on the market.  She reached in the back of her closet and pulled out her skin tight freak 'um dress and heels as she hit the EMMY afterparty scene.

She was also spotted rolling to Craig's with a couple of guys on protection-status it seems.  The About Last Night star is currently filming MissionImpossible 5 with Tom Cruise.  So it's about time to get back into the mix to get back on her promotion tip.

Looking good Paula...
