It was a star-studded affair at Universal Studios over the weekend. Big Sean and his rumored boo Ariana Grande were spotted getting kissy on a roller coaster. Meanwhile, Chris Brown, Karrueche, Tyga, Keyshia Cole and more all came out to have fun at the amusement park. Peep the pics inside…

Big Sean and Ariana Grande have been trying to keep their budding relationship under wraps. But this weekend, it looks like everything was put on front street when the two were spotted getting kissy on the Revenge Of The Mummy roller coaster at Universal Studios.

Above, Ariana goes in for a kiss on the lips of Big Sean. Although you can't see his face, the side profile and full body shots pretty much prove it's Mr Sean.  Plus, we doubt Ariana wouldn't be kissing any random dude like this.

During a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, Big Sean remained coy about his relationship with the "Right There" singer saying,

“I like to keep my personal life personal. But I am going to tell you this... that Ariana is very, very special. She’s very special to me. Everything she has going on is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and Imma just leave it at that.”
 

Mmmhmm....

Chris Brown and his girlfriend KarruecheTran were also at Universal Studios for the amusement park's Halloween Horror Nights this weekend.

The lovebirds were spotted making their rounds as they maneuvered through fans.

Look who else came out...Tyga (who is single now). And he brought along his rumored "boo thing"...

His "friend" Kylie Jenner. There are unconfirmed rumors circulating that these two are dating...but he might want to hold off (if true) being that she's still 17-years-old.

Also at the amusement park....

Keyshia Cole (who dropped her Point of No Return album today) was also living it up at Universal Studios this weekend.

Chick made it a family affair with her mom Frankie, family and friends. Good way to keep her mind off her recent assault charges....

Nicki Minaj wants half a billion dollars over the next four years.  Then, she can take a break from the game to be a wife and have some kids.  You've seen the spread, now check out Nicki's sexy L'Uomo Vogue cover and what she had to say about money, family and why it's time for a woman to run the hip hop business.

Nicki's got a tight time span to reach her $500 million goal.  The Myx Moscato owner and "Anaconda" raptress talked to L'Uomo Vogue about all things career and family.

On her professional and personal year plan

"I gave myself a time limit to reach my professional goals.  I don’t want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family."

On earning respect

"At first no one took me seriously.  In the world of rap, women are usually relegated to the choir".

On her hiphop businessman idol Jay Z

"It’s no coincidence that we have the same Zodiac sign – Sagittarius....I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it – from Diddy to Dr. Dre to Jay-Z. Now it’s a woman’s turn."

On her tumultuous upbringing being brought to NYC from Trinidad and living with her crack addict father

"That experience had a profound influence on my way of being a woman – never let a man cross the line or control me, especially in my career".

On starting a family

"Family has always been very important to me, and that is why I want to wait until the right moment before starting my own. Right now I am too busy, but at a certain point the situation will change....[I want] a traditional family with "an upright man, who will take care of me. The time is not yet ripe, but when I decide to get married and become a mother", she adds, speaking of her future soul mate, "I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child".

On performing with Beyonce on the OTR tour

"Seeing Beyoncé with her daughter and husband was so tender, and it showed me that it is possible to be an animal on stage and a caring mother at the same time".

Get the full story over at L'Uomo Vogue.  The Trini native talks about her mother finally coming back to Trinidad to get her (after forging a life for herself in the States) after 2 years, and the nightmare that ensued once she arrived in NYC.  She opens up about Her father's violent crack habit, living in squalor, and how her tumultuous childhood lead her to creating those multiple personalities that put her on the map.

As Adrian Peterson deals with allegations of child abuse, other murky details from his past have been uncovered.  Inside, get the deets on a rape allegation, a sex orgy involving a minor, infidelity and SIX kids with SIX women!

For the past few weeks, we've been following the case of Adrian Peterson, who was recently indicted by a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child.  Up until that time, Adrian had a "relatively" clean image. 

He first drew our sympathy last year when his 2-year-old son died after being abused by his baby mother's new boyfriend.  But now, a less sympathetic side is being revealed.  Now that folks are digging through his past, here's what's come up via the Minnesota Star Tribune:

The 2011 Rape Allegation and orgy involving his underage brother

Adrian was the subject of  a lengthy police investigation that involved a night of boozing, sex and arguing.  The police report alleges Adrian and four women engaged in an orgy involving Adrian's cousin and Adrian's underage brother.

The report says one woman got pissed when she saw Adrian having sex with another woman. An argument started and the woman told Adrian she was "emotionally attached to him"; meanwhile, he reminded her that he was engaged to another woman and had a baby! PAUSE for your own "Fix My Life" moment. It gets worse.....

One of Adrian's other relatives (who was present) said the hotel room was paid for by a credit card in the name of Peterson's charity, All Day, Inc.  SMH......

If you're wondering why this wasn't a huge story, Adrian passed a polygraph test and tested "clean" for drugs AND both the NFL and prosecutors found that Adrian did nothing wrong.  It might have been messy...but it wasn't illegal. 

Infidelity

Adrian Peterson gets around....like Tupac.  Though he avoids the subject, he has six kids with six women.  So...how messy did it get? Well...two of the children were born in May and June 2010 -- to different mothers. SIDEBAR: He got married earlier this year to Ashley Brown with whom he shares a 3-year-old son. 

Questionable Charitable Contributions

Adrian's philanthropic arm The All Day Foundation (for helping at-risk children) raised eyebrows for showing $247,064 in total revenue for 2011 - but what happened to most of the money is anyone's guess. There is no clear paper trail.

As we told you in an earlier post, the Minnesota Vikings released a statement saying Adrian will remain deactivated until his legal proceedings are resolved...which may not happen until 2015.

In the meantime, Adrian had this to say to the press:  

Anyways, we'll keep you posted.  Adrian heads to court tomorrow for an initial hearing.

Michael Strahan was spotted on his first public date with a make-up blogger since announcing his split from ex-fiancée Nicole Murphy. In other baller news, Larry Johnson, who is no stranger to criminal arrests, was booked on aggravated battery charges this morning, following a brawl outside of a bar in Miami. Get the deets inside…

“Live With Kelly & Michael” co-host Michael Strahan is getting back into the game…the dating game that is.

The 42-year-old daytime television co-host was spotted getting out of his Bentley as he arrived at the Mercer hotel in NYC last night. Joining him were two ladies, a blonde woman and brunette, but it seems his attention was strictly on the brunette, who happens to be make-up blogger named Marianna Hewitt (above).

After they got out, Marianna grabbed ahold of Michael’s arm as they made their way inside, but quickly released his arm…probably after spotting the photogs.

The retired NFL Hall of Famer and “Hollywood Exes” star Nicole Murphy called it quits in July of this year after being engaged for five years. And it was announced on the same day he was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Some accused Nicole of trying to sabotage his weekend with the Splitsville news, but the two have seemed to have put things behind them as they were spotted on a lunch date just a month after.

But..it doesn’t seem like upcoming Magic Mike star will be half stepping…backwards.

Check it:

Mmmhmm we see you Mike.

In other former NFL player news....

Larry Johnson was arrested and charged (mugshot above) with aggravated battery charges early this morning, according to ESPN. It appears the arrest stems from an altercation that went down outside of the Delano Hotel on South Beach, resulting in the former star running back allegedly cutting a man with a broken bottle!  Yes, a glass from a bottle!

It’s reported he was booked in the Miami-Dade county jail at 7:33am this morning and was being held on a $7,500 bail, which he has since posted and been released.

The alleged victim (who wanted to remain anonymous) allegedly spoke with TMZ and shared pictures of the graphic wound he suffered after Larry supposedly attacked him with a liquor bottle. Peep the gruesome pics here if you're interesting.

He also claims he has never met Larry before the altercation and has NO idea why he came after him in the first place.

The alleged victim told the publication,

"He wailed on me for a good two minutes before security came over. I couldn’t get back up on my feet – so it wasn’t even a fight. He just wailed on me – and used a tall broken vodka glass that got knocked over when I fell down [to attack me]."

He added, "I was able to cover my face – but I’m covered in cuts on the side of my neck, cut the back of my hand, and had to get 7 stitches for the gash on my arm."

Ouch!
 

Larry has a slew of criminal charges and a history of domestic violence. In 2012, he was arrested and charged with one count of felony domestic battery for allegedly choking out his ex-girlfriend to the point of unconsciousnessin a room at the Bellagio hotel. He has a criminal record spanning from 2003-2008 of four arrests stemming from battery of women and DV allegations. Plus, he was sued about three years ago for allegedly beating up a man on Miami Beach. And it seems he’s still up to no good in Miami. Sighs…

The 34-year-old baller as been romantically linked to a few celeb chicks. He was once engaged to former “Empire Girls” star/Steve Madden spokeswoman Julissa Bermudez back in 2008. Then he allegedly hooked up with singer Chilli in 2009 and by 2010 was in a relationship with singer Mya.

This guy…..

A few fab chicks are doing their part for Breast Cancer Awareness month. And they’re doing so with the final reveal of their breast cancer awareness campaign photos for The Pink Line. Peep their shots and the behind-the-scenes clip inside…

October is all about bring awareness to those affected by breast cancer. And a few singers, reality stars and an NFL wife have teamed up with Michel Sproles for the final reveal of The Pink Line Breast Cancer Awareness Photo Campaign.

We previously revealed some of the pretty in pink outtakes from the photoshoot. And now, TheYBF.com exclusively reveals the final installment of photos and the official behind-the-scenes video from the shoot.

Eva Marcille, Emily B., Meelah Williams, Angel Conwell (not pictured above but pictured here), RaVaughn, Miss Diddy, breast cancer survivor Shondia McFadden and breast cancer survivor/founder of The Pink Line Michel Sproles are all standing together in the fight against breast cancer. And they are looking uber fab while doing so.

Michel Sproles, breast cancer survivor and wife of Philadelphia Eagles’ running back, Darren Sproles, created The Pink Line after she was diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer at the age of 28. In an effort to help bring awareness to a disease affecting women of our demographic, Michel created The Pink Line to encourage young, African American women to know their bodies and be proactive when it comes to their breast health. As the founder and a breast cancer survivor herself, she wants every woman to know that Age Doesn’t Define Your Status (A.D.D.Y.S), so it’s extremely important to know your status...at any age.

Proceeds from sales of The Pink Line will go towards making wigs and hair units for cancer patients and survivors. So ladies, let’s get proactive and get checked!

"The Game" may have gotten revived at BET, but the network has revealed the series is ending after the next two seasons air.  Deets inside...

"The Game" series is coming to an end, and it's probably for the best if these last few seasons on BET are any indicator.  But it was a good run while it lasted.

Filming has already begin on both Seasons 8 and 9, which will begin airing in early 2015.

BET stated:

“All good things must come to an end and after celebrating four successful seasons of The Game on BET, the Network has announced production is underway on the show’s final two seasons,” BET said in a statement on its Web site. “In January 2011 the cult following of The Game proved that the show was a fan favorite with 7.7 million viewers for its premiere debut on BET. With seasons eight and nine, we’re excited to end on a high note by giving Sabers fans a chance to bid farewell to their favorite players on and off the field.”

Creator Mara Brock Akil spoke about the legacy of the show saying:

“I’m really proud of the look of our show, that we took a multi-cam budget and turned it into a single camera show. Its look, its tone, its approach, the characters’ development — that, yes, we were a half-hour comedy but we used our moments to deepen the characters. We also offered drama in a half-hour space. And that was my own personal desire, but it was also reflective of what the audience has been wanting, which is more well-rounded, deeper, richer, layered characters, and they got that in The Game.”

“The bigger legacy was the conversation that the audience had with the network. There was a partnership that was created and the use of social media — we were part of the history of television and how it interacts with social media and how it can be an asset to a show and the support of a show. I think The Game is locked in history about that movement.”

And she'll likely have those syndication checks to keep her comfy for quite a while....

Erykah Badu and designer Riccardo Tisci struck a few poses on New York City's transit system. See pics from their "subway" shot and find out what Mama Joyce has to say about those rumors of her getting into a FIGHT with Todd's mother inside....

The latest October 2014 edition of Paper Magazine features a fashion spread shot underground on the NYC subway system with Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci and his muse Eyrkah Badu, whom he called "THE EXACT DEFINITION OF STYLE." 

The fab pics (shot by Theo Wenner) are accompanied by a Q-n-A with Erykah and fawning testimonial that Riccardo contributed about his obession with all things Badu.  Erykah is the face of Givenchy. 

Here are the highlights:

Erykah on meeting Riccardo:  Last year, Riccardo reached out and let me know that he was a fan of my music. At the same time, I let him know that I was a fan of his eye. We were talking and he asked me to be the face of his campaign for [Spring] 2014, which was culturally themed and all of the models in the campaign were of color. He thought that the line would particularly speak through me. I said, "OK!" It was the first time I had done anything like that, besides the Tom Ford perfume ad.

Riccardo on meeting Erykah:  The first time we met was at one of her concerts in New York a few years back. But the first time we actually connected was when she arrived to the set of the campaign. I was so nervous -- it is rare to spend time with one of your idols, and she is truly one of my ultimate ones. She was nothing short of what I had in mind. She arrived with the most outrageous hair (a solo braid long to the floor) and an amazing hat. She was the exact definition of style according to me. We clicked immediately. We hugged and talked for so long, about everything and anything. And we share so much more than aesthetics... I love her.

Erykah on music sales, art and paying the bills:  Well, music has never been lucrative to me. I think my image is more popular than my album sales. The stage is where I shine and pay my bills. But art is art to me. There's nothing new about cross-pollination in art to me because it's all one thing: an expression of who I am. I've always directed all of my videos and been in total control of my image. I write all of the lyrics, stage and produce all of the shows. It's something that comes very naturally to me. It's therapy. It makes me feel awesome, happy, centered and balanced when I can turn out some piece of art -- whether the world sees it or not. It's what keeps me going and breathing.
 

Erykah on her "iconic" Baduism debut:Kind of, because I've always been a nonconformist since I was a very small child. I'm one of those artists that never felt like I quite fit in. Too white for the black kids, too black for the white kids. I felt like I was a dangling participle. Once I got a record deal and was able to express some of these things, I saw that I was unique in what I was doing. It's always given me the inspiration to push the ceiling higher and higher, thus only being in competition with my last level.

And in reality tv news....

"RHOA" regular Mama Joyce and her peach are speaking out against rumors that she and Todd Tucker’s mother Sharon Tucker got into a brawl, resulting in the cops and the ambulance to be called!

A certain outlet reported the physical altercation erupted during filming, after they saw each other for the first time since Mama Joyce labeled Sharon a “streetwalker”. It’s said the two got into a screaming match in each other’s face, then Todd’s mother eventually “two pieced” Mama Joyce. Producers called the police and an ambulance arrived on the scene, but no one was treated or hauled off to jail.

NOW…Mama J is setting the record straight. She confirms there was no brawl, but had there been, the person wouldn’t live to tell the story. Bloop! She also revealed what she was actually doing on the day of the alleged fight.

She said:

Hey Lovies...don't believe everything you read on these blogs! Now y'all know, aint nobody "two-piece" ya #MamaJoyce and live to tell the story! On Oct 4th, I was picking out flowers for my son Patrick who would have been 46 this past Saturday, but God called him home 24yrs ago.So the last thing on my mind are these lies going around about me and Sharon Tucker getting into a "brawl"...again! There was no fight or an ambulance called...As my daughter #RHOA Kandi Burruss would say, we fly above the drama and so should you! Goodnight....

It’s not too far fetched that they would get into it during filming since the two almost came to blows once before. But, we're glad they’re playing nice….for now.

The Carters are still living it up in Paris!  And yesterday, they took Baby Blue Ivy to one of the most beautiful museums in the world.  Check out their adorable family trip to the Louvre inside...

Beyonce & Jay Z are just like any mom and dad team....aside from their damn near billion dollar combined income.  Mrs. Carter was busy snapping tons of pics of her baby girl as she discovered all the bright lights and beauty in and around the Louvre Museum in Paris yesterday.  And Mr. Carter took in every sight Blue pointed out to him.

How cute is that leather coat?!

Bey (and her pigtail braids) was on her photographer ish, snapping pics while walking in 6 inch heels for the family photo album and for her Tumblr, we're sure:

And the family trip ended with Jay popping back at a random passerby who demanded to know "who he was".  Maybe because they're a black family in Paris walking around with major security? *shrugs*

Raven Symone released a statement clarifying shocking comments she made about race and "labels" during a recent Oprah interview.  But we're wondering if her "clarification" will just cause more confusion.  Find out what she said about being "Black" and an American inside...

Earlier this week, actress Raven Symone set #BlackTwitter on fire when an interview taped for "Oprah Where Are They Now?" showed her seemingly controversial opinion about being "labeled".  

The actresstold Oprah, "I don't want to be labeled as gay. I want to be labeled as a human who loves humans. I'm tired of being labeled. I'm an American. I'm not an African-American, I'm an American."

After the interview sparked some negative reactions from fans, talking heads and Twitter trolls who railed her for attempting to deny her obvious heritage, Raven sent an official statement to TheGrio.com,

“I never said I wasn’t black… I want to make that very clear. I said, I am not African-American. I never expected my personal beliefs and comments to spark such emotion in people. I think it is only positive when we can openly discuss race and being labeled in America.”

Hmmm.  Do you think she's simply doing damage control?  Or maybe she should clarify HER definition of the difference so everyone is on one accord?

Does Raven's "clarification" change how your opinion about her stance on labels?

Do we love it?

If you've been keeping up with Lil Mo's love life, you know chick moves…fast. And now she’s revealing she and her boyfriend Karl “Dynamite” Dargan are married! Has the ink dried on her divorce from Phillip Bryant yet? Sheesh…details about her secret marriage and more inside….

“R&B Divas: L.A.” star Lil Mo just released her brand new “tell-all” book titled Taming Lil Mo, so she has been heavy on the promo circuit. And this morning she made a stop at HOT 97’s Ebro In The Morning Show to dish on her new project, all of the drama that unfolded on “R&B Divas: L.A.” and she also dropped a nugget on her love life with her professional boxer boyfriend from Philly Karl “Dynamite” Dargan.

While talking about her children, Mo revealed she collectively has a total of seven kids. Four are hers and the other three come from her boyfriend. BUT, when referring to him she called him her “husband’. Yep…these two have gone and got married under the radar. Has the ink dried from her last divorce yet?

When asked if they were married now, she replied,

“Yea! I don’t waste no time.”

We see.

Back in March, we tipped you all off about her split with gospel singer Phillip Bryant. Although she said that situation had been over before the news hit the Internet, it just seemed rather sudden for her to be in another relationship after just splitting with her former husband. But to each its own. She did say she's not going to be anyone's "baby mama" and won't be out here humping with no title forever so...yeah, she's staying true to being the "Hood Kim K"--her words, not ours.

So what’s next for the couple? More babies! She said,

“I have to keep working too many children. Yep...and my tubes ain’t tied so we’re looking to…” So they having more babies? She said, “Yea.”

If you watched the last season of “R&B Divas L.A.”, you saw many of the shady moments between Mo and Chante Moore. Mo got right to the point as to why she and Chante couldn't get along. She said,

“Cause she was fakin…the funk. Her life. One of the producers left their notebook at my house and I was like…Ok…so that’s what her story is this season. What she told them and what she gave was two separate things. The tears, the ambulance scene, everything that was her story…it was just like Ok, so you came here just to be an actress. And I’m cool with that, just let me know what angle you coming from. Do you! If you want to be a fake broad then you be that but don’t do that with me”

She then said Chante destroyed her relationship with Kelly Price (who was on the last season) because she was taking up for her so much during season 1.

“I lost a friend over her. Kelly Price and I were friends. We had a chance to make it right but, I took up for her a lot on season 1 and I was just like I’m doing that no more. I’m over it…cause she has never had to go to battle for me.”

The "R&B diva" says Chante came up on the set thinking she was Mariah Carey, when she doesn’t even have a track on the radio. Bloop!

Mo (real name Cynthia Loving) also talked about her upcoming projects outside of her new book. She will be starring in a BET telefilm titled, Who Can I Run To, which is expected to premiere October 19th. She also has a new album titled The Scarlet Letter which is scheduled to drop October 27th. And in a few days, she will begin filming for the third season of “R&B Divas L.A.”, which will premiere in January 2015.

Wonder if a wedding special will be in the works….

Although dancer Jhonni Blaze filed a police report claiming Drake's team threatened her life...she's offering THEM an apology.  Listen to her explain the breakdown with Drake and DENY reports that she's pregnant inside...

Jhonni Blaze is speaking out about the drama she has/had with Drake.  Previously, we told you that Jhonni filed a police report in Houston after Drake sent his goons to threaten her life.  Now, she's opening up about the police report (she apologizes to Drake), and says she's never lied about their friendship and she didn't do this for attention.   She also clear up any rumor about being pregnant...She's not! And there's an interesting twist....she was FIRED from the strip club because of the negative attention this has gotten!

She called into KBXX's "The Madd Hatta Morning Show" and said,

"I would never talk about nobody and I don't have nothing bad to say about Drake. I never called the police on Aubrey [Drake's given name]"

On why she called the cops:

I actually called the police because my friend came home and she said that some guys said that they were looking for me. So, I documented that for my protection and for some odd reason people were calling me looney."

On her apology:

"I did what was right as a woman and just filed a police report for my safety, in case something happened to me. I apologize to the whole staff and whoever works with Drake. I apologize from my heart."

Clearing things up:  It seems like there was a misunderstanding between Drake and Jhonni and she filed a police report because a group of strange men showed up at her door making threats.  It's messy.....but OVO ain't bout that life.  Please work it out.

Two powerful black women are heating up the magazine circuit with their brand new covers. Shonda Rhimes talks race and gender roles in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter after being labeled “an angry black woman”. Meanwhile, Oprah (who is slaying in a white pants suit) dedicates her newest issue of ‘O’ magazine to gratitude. Peep their covers inside…

“Grey’s Anatomy” & “Scandal” mastermind Shonda Rhimes has landed the cover of The Hollywood Reporter’s newest issue. And she is giving her take on gender and race roles in a supposedly postracial society.

We were appalled after learning about the New York Times article that labeled the ABC hit series creator “an angry black woman”. Online petitions demanding a retraction were started up, “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams and “How To Get Away With Murder” star Viola Davis both came to her defense, but the ShondaLand producer had not directly responded to the article (other than tweets about the writer getting her title incorrect)…until now.

In the cover story, Shonda called the NY Times analysis a reminder that although we’re living in the year 2014, there are still traces of "casual racial bias" and "odd misogyny”, specifically aimed at black people AND women. She said,

"In this world in which we all feel we're so full of gender equality and we're a postracial [society] and Obama is president, it's a very good reminder to see the casual racial bias and odd misogyny from a woman written in a paper that we all think of as being so liberal."

Well said.

The ABC producer (and single mother of three) also talked about a time she was tapped to appear at an event and the draft announcement called her, "the most powerful black female showrunner in Hollywood." She crossed out "female" and "black" and sent it back. Gender and race “pisses” her off and here’s why,

“They wouldn't say that someone is 'the most powerful white male showrunner in Hollywood. I find race and gender to be terribly important; they're terribly important to who I am. But there's something about the need for everybody else to spend time talking about it … that pisses me off."

Agreed.

She also talked about dealing with fame, as most writers are hardly ever recognized in public. She said,

"I don't know too many other writers who people can recognize their faces … so that was a little disturbing for me and my kids," she says, adding with a mix of humor and horror: "My 12-year-old instinctively says to people: 'No autographs, please. She's with her children.' "

Check out Shonda’s full interview here. You can get your copy once it hits newsstands on October 17th.
 

And on another magazine cover....

Oprah is white HOT in a Rena Lange pantsuit and Nicolas Kirkwood heels on the cover of ‘O’ magazine’s November 2014 issue. She even got sultry with a little cleavage. We see you Lady O!

Serve O! The 60-year-old media mogul dedicates her newest issue to gratitude and inside, she talks about giving thanks each morning she wakes up for everything she has. She said, “I wake up every morning and the first sentence that comes through my brain is, ‘thank you.’”

She also talked about how we should change our perception on the things we do have and looking at the glass as being half full rather than half empty. She said,

“If you focus on what you have, you will begin to see that you have more. And if you focus on what you don’t have, you will always live in a space of lack.”

Words of wisdom…take heed.

It's official.  Paula Patton has filed divorce papers to make her split from Robin Thicke official.  Deets inside...

After about 8 months of separation, and Robin pining away for his wife, Paula Patton has pulled the plug on her 9-year marriage.

The high school sweethearts hit a MAJOR rough patch when Robin was "allegedly" caught in compromising positions with other women at parties and tales of cheating began to infiltrate the public.

Now, Paula has filed for divorce in L.A, according to TMZ.

The Baggage Claim actress cited irreconcilable difference, as usual, and requests joint custody of the couple's 4-year-old son, Julian.

Supposedly the divorce is not a bitter one and things are going as smoothly as a divorce can go.

Nene Leakes hit the LA promo circuit to tout the upcoming season of "RHOA" and her role as the evil stepmother in "Cinderella on Broadway." Along the way, she threw some major shade at certain RHOA co-stars.  Watch the clips inside... 

Entertainment mogul Nene Leakes stopped by "Extra" and "Access Hollywood Live" to promote the seventh season of "RHOA" (Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo) and her starring role in "Cinderella on Broadway" (she takes the stage November 25th).  

Lately, there have been rumors that Nene will be paid $1.5 million for the seventh season of RHOA. You'll recall that she reportedly earned $1 million for season 6.  When asked by EXTRA's Tracey Edmonds, Nene deadpanned,“I was not offered $1.5, let’s be clear, yeah, it’s a lot nicer than that.” Noted! She's VERY RICH!

Nene also hinted that she'd be interested in joined E!'s "Fashion Police" if the opportunity came up.  “I have to say Joan is irreplaceable, we all love her, she’s fantastic, she’s given me some amazing advice about my career, I love Joan…If the opportunity comes it’s a possibility I might, I might not…I’m a fashion designer, love fashion and I’ll give you a good read every now and then so it may not be a bad place for me to be.”

On "Access Hollywood Live", Nene didn't pull any punches when it came to certain co-stars.  Though she doesn't name names, she's clear that she thinks one is a "whore" and RHOA stars should be "true" Georgia peaches.  We know which is which.  Catch that!

On Fashion Police and the RHOA pay raise:

Last night, the NYC premiere of Addicted went down at Regal Union Square. And the beautiful ones were front and center on the red carpet. Peep pics of Boris Kodjoe, Sharon Leal, Tyson Beckford and more inside….

There was plenty of eye candy at Regal Union Square for the Addicted NYC premiere last night. And it included the cast of the provocative silver screen adaptation based on the best-selling novel by Zane and many other YBF celebs.

Sexy Addicted star Boris Kodjoe came out to the event with his wife Nicole Ari Parker on his arm. 
 

Boris recently chopped it up withTheYBF.comabout how his wife handles seeing him in steamy sex scenes. He jokingly said, "Sometimes she watches it and punches me in the neck!" Ha! Stay tuned for the full interview.

Lead star Sharon Leal (starring as a successful businesswoman who lives a secret life of infidelity) worked the carpet in a plunging neckline cut-out white gown.

Grge!  Outside of acting, Sharon is making moves on the music scene. She just released new visuals for her track “Giant” off of her new solo EP, LEAL.

Addicted co-star Tyson Beckford made a statement in his red and black blazer and black slacks. TheYBF.com also recently spoke to Tyson about doing full frontal nudity in a film and guess what? He said he had NO problem stripping down to his birthday suit. Keep it locked for the full interview!

Actress Tasha Smith is also in the erotic thriller. She hit the carpet in a sexy high-slit dress alongside her husband Keith Douglas.  Work!

Soon-to-be single Nick Cannon came out to support. EXTRA correspondent AJ Calloway caught up with Nick at the event where he opened up about removing his “Mariah” tattoo. He said, “It’s not finished yet… It wasn’t supposed to be revealed yet… I didn’t know they were there, that’s how sneaky paparazzi are… I had just gotten it done, it was painful… It hurt a lot and I’m still not finished, I’m still probably like six more sessions away.”

He also dished on how he’s handling his separation from Mariah Carey saying,“I’m just taking everything one day at a time and just being the best person that I can possibly be at the end of the day.”

And he also came to her defense after her recent eyebrow raisingperformance in Tokyo. He said, “I just wish her nothing but the best, we’re in contact constantly, you know you might have an off night here and there, but she’s one of the greatest performers and entertainers of all time, she’s not worried, we’re not worried, just going to keep pushing.”

"Power" starlet Naturi Naughton rocked a cute bob and cobalt blue dress for the event.

NY Times Bestselling Author Zane came out to see her novel turned into film. In some unfortunate news, Zane (real name Kristina Laferne Roberts) recently filed for bankruptcy. It's reported the Maryland native owes the IRS more than $540,000. Ouch.

Phylicia Rashad's daughter/actress Condola Rashad kept it funky on the carpet.

And director Lee Daniels brought his boyfriend Jahil Fisher along to check out the film.  Are these your PJs Lee?!

And at the afterparty....

The Addicted cast trekked it to the Jade Hotel for the afterparty.  These two look damn good together...no disrespect to either of their significant others  Just an observation and we're sure it helps with on-screen chemistry.

Addicted director Bille Woodruff posed it up with Addicted star William Levy. O, hey William!  With his fine self.

The film hits theaters tomorrow!
