Melyssa Ford is back in the hospital after the "Blood Sweat & Heels" brawl earlier this week!  Get the deets and the first pics of Melyssa since the incident inside....

That bottle action from castmate Geneva Thomas is the gift that keeps on giving.  A miserable gift.  We've learned that Melyssa Ford was rushed to the hospital again today after her injuries from Tuesday night's brawl between the "Blood Sweat & Heels" co-stars.

Apparently, Melyssa's injuries were more serious than the initial three stitches she received after Geneva allegedly hit her in the head with a vodka bottle at a boat party in Manhattan.

She was being taken back to hospital today because of her head injuries.  We've also learned that she can't walk due to several gashes under her feet from broken glass during brawl.  And based on the pics we nabbed of her hopping on crutches today outside of the hospital, her right foot looks quite injured.

We're told that thanks to all the trauma and drama, she hasn't slept since the incident.

Geneva was arrested after the party brawl and charged with two counts of assault.

Of course Jenny is one of the wealthiest women in America, so she has issues footing the bill. But we've just learned that she's been offered a show at The Axis at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas where she could earn $350,000 a night (performing 72 shows—three times a week for 24 weeks). Nice prospects....

DO WE BELIEVE IT OR NAH? Sanaa Lathan & Tyrese Spark Dating Rumors After Dinner Dates

$

Another day, another dating rumor.  This time, it involves actors Tyrese Gibson& Sanaa Lathan.  Are they...or aren't they.  A few intimate dinners this week have folks wondering if they're more than friends.  Deets inside...

Reports state that this past Monday, Tyrese and Sanaa Lathan wind and dined at Pizzeria Mozza in Hollywood.  While no one caught them on camera, the twosome were caught out together on another dinner date Wednesday night.  They hit The Cheesecake Factory in Topanga, CA.  And this is what happened:

When TMZ cameras caught Tyrese exiting the restaurant and asked him about dating Sanaa, he blew them off.  But Sanaa was surely caught in that front seat.

By the way, the pic atop of Sanaa showing off her new ripped jeans, was snapped yesterday....at Tyrese's house.

But, we're not totally believing this dating rumor...yet.

Tyrese and Sanaa have been in this business together for years, and are part of a circle of friends with Taraji Henson and others.  So this could have all been just dinner with a longtime friend.  Or....dinner with a long time friend who is becoming more than a friend?

Or...is this all a cover up for another relationship of Tyrese's?  He's been dating a woman of middle eastern decent named Maya for several years.  Back in March, they spotted together having dinner at Chilli's, and Tyrese attempted to downplay the relationship saying she was a "colleague" at Universal Pictures.  B.S.  We learned they have been dating for 6+ years and are possibly engaged.  For some reason, Tyrese doesn't want the world to know. 

So we wouldn't be surprised if these dinner dates with Sanaa were to simply throw folks off his coupled up scent.

Time will tell...

Last night, the amazing Naomi Campbell attended the Charlotte Olympia 'Handbags for the Leading Lady' launch dinner at Toto's Restaurant in London.

 photo frican9.jpg

In addition to rocking magazine covers and starring on "The Face", Naomi is also into the advice business. On her Facebook page, she announced that she'll have a new advice column in Harper's Bazaar. Her first column appears in November.  And we're sure it'll be that tough love, slightly sarcastic advice a really good girlfriend can give...

 

In New York City...

Gospel singer Michelle Williams is headed to reality tv in the Oxygen series 'Fix My Choir'.  She rolled to the series premiere party at Blue Water Grill in a fitted red dress.

Michelle stars in the series with singer Deitrick Haddon, whom you may recognizes as one of the stars of "Preachers Of LA."

Last month, Michelle released her fourth solo disc, the gospel-tinged "Journey To Freedom."

 

In Beverly Hills....

"Braxton Family Values" star Toni Braxton stepped out for the American Friends of Magen David Adom's Red Star Ball.  And to the delight of the photographers and those staring male fans of her...she stepped out braless.

On the red carpet she posed with Dr. Bill Dorfman.  The evening raised more than $5.7 million, making it the most successful single fundraising event in AFMDA history. AFMDA is the American leg of (MDA), which is Israel’s ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization that serves emergency medical first responders for the state’s 8 million people.

 photo frican12.jpg

While on the red carpet, Toni revealed that she wants to get married again!  She said, 'I was disappointed in love. I'd think, "Oh God, I'm singing Unbreak My Heart, and it's my life! But now I'm in a better place. I can't wait to get married again.'

And we're not sure what happened to an official "Braxton Family Values" finale, but this recent season has us wondering if it's the last one for the Braxton sisters...

In today’s candids round-up, Nick Cannon was spotted in NYC. During a daytime TV appearance, he dished (once again) on his break-up with Mariah Carey on “The Meredith Vieira Show”. Meanwhile in L.A., Amber Rose, Teairra Marí, Rachel Roy, Iggy Azalea, Evan Ross and his wife Ashlee Simpson Ross were out and about. Find out what they were up to inside…

Nick Cannon has been globe trotting all over since news broke about his split with Mariah Carey in August. He and his client Amber Rose have been spotted making appearances at nightclubs and kiki'ing it up on rollercoaster rides. And in between spending time with Amber (nothing to see here since they CLAIM to just have a platonic relationship), he has been making media appearances to promote his new telefim “Drumline 2: A New Beat” premiering on October 27th on VH1.

There were rumors that Mariah had placed a ban on Nick from saying anything about their divorce, but that hasn’t stopped him from talking.

 photo lovcna14.jpg

Nick (above leaving “Good Day New York” studio yesterday) recently hit up “The Meredith Vieira Show” where he gets candid on how their divorce is effecting his 3-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, how the media is playing a part in their divorce and dishes on covering his “Mariah” tattoo.

Below are the highlights:

On dealing with his divorce in the public eye:
Nick: It’s one of those things being someone who is in the public eye you never want to deal with your personal life into public eye but we have to. The media, they can say whatever they want to say and obviously because you are not giving them anything so they kind of create all these stories and make it way worse than it actually is.

On rumors that annoy him:
Nick: You know what I heard the other day, I heard there is a family dispute over our 8 dogs. Its the Jack Russell puppy dispute. They just make up all of these things. It’s truly just staying focused on family and what’s right and getting through these times and doing what’s right for the kids, so that’s just where we are.

On how his twins are handling the split:
Nick: I think they are just happy. They love mommy, they love daddy. Being the fact our situation we have always been people who have been on the go coming and going, there life hasn’t changed one bit. We spend holidays together, we do everything that we are supposed to do together as a family.
Meredith: Well that’s good parenting for sure.

On covering his “Mariah” tattoo:
Nick: I’m still getting it done. It’s like a while work of art, my entire back and my arm and everything. I was leaving the gym going into the studio just having had that work done and they got me. It’s going to be a big reveal but it’s not finished it’s half way done. It’s a lot of pain.

Mmhmm….

Speaking of Nick….

 photo donbethirsty1.jpg

Nick’s client Amber Rose still seems unbothered by her pending divorce from her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa. The budding actress was ready to party arriving at Xen Lounge for the "Sister Code" wrap party in L.A. in a "Biggie" t-shirt.

 photo freidb2.jpg

Although things started to get messy with cheating allegations, Amber and Wiz seem to be getting along nowadays. Amber celebrated her 31st birthday earlier this week. Wiz hopped on Twitter to wish her a Happy Birthday. Amber responded with a thank you and added, #StillLoveYouNoMatterWhat. Oh…so maybe there’s a possible chance for reconciliation? Time will tell…
 

Also in Hollywood....

When she’s not “turning up” for the cameras, “LAHH Hollywood” star Teairra Mari is coolin’ it in Beverly Hills. The songstress enjoyed a delectable lunch at Vila Blanca with friend and eyelash guru Jamaal Buster.  She rocked a cute cream mini paried with leopard booties.

SEXY SELLER: Halle Berry RE-LAUNCHES Affordable Lingerie Company “Scandale Paris” At Target

Ladies! Halle Berry just launched a brand new line of lingerie. And you won’t have to break the bank to get your hands on a few pieces. Get the deets inside…

Ladies get excited! “Extant” star Halle Berry is launching a brand new lingerie line to add a little sexiness in your life. The fab mother-of-two launched “Scandale Paris” today, which will be launching in select Target stores and online (Target.com) on Monday, October 27th. Pieces from her collection range from $7 panties to $18 panties. Now that’s a deal!

After being the face of countless other brands, Halle felt that it was time to do something she was proud of for herself. So, while visiting her husband Olivier Martinez in Paris, she discovered 80-year-old Parisian luxury lingerie label Scandale.  She decided to revamp the brand and make it her own company.  That's what we love to see!

She told Women's Wear Daily,

“For many years, I’ve endorsed the brands of others like Revlon. I sort of partnered with Coty and started making my own fragrances. But those aren’t my own companies. I decided for my own evolution as a woman and an entrepreneur, it’s time for me to step out and really be part owner of something that I believed in and not just lend my name to a brand,” she said.

 

 photo HalleBerryHalleBerryHidesRain0aGOkSqi6avl.jpg

Yesterday morning, she was spotted trying to keep dry as she made her way to Ladurée in SoHo for her 10-piece Scandale Paris negligee unveiling. Inspired by classic Scandale ads and wanting to fuse Parisian style into America she said, “I thought this would be the perfect way to bring that Parisian glamour and sophistication that I feel about all things Parisian to America.”

The 48-year-old Oscar winning actress trekked it in a black Rebecca Vallance leather skirt, sexy black lace top and black Louboutin heels.

 photo HalleBerryHalleBerryHidesRainC6s3nu8NdJOl.jpg

So what inspired her to do lingerie?

“I understand that women want to feel sexy and beautiful. They want to have undergarments that are very functional, but to still feel beautiful when we take our clothes off. That’s really important and that’s a way to make women feel sexy and validated — all the ways we as women need to feel. And I love lingerie. It’s always been important in my life. This is a very important endeavor that feels very in line with who I am.”

Nice! So how many of you are grabbing some of Halle's lingerie faves on Monday?  Anything Halle thinks is sexy...we're here for it.

 photo hxe9q3wsqhcglpvwjuig.jpg

Halloween sometimes brings out the worst in people.  Every year, our Facebook feeds and Twitter timelines are hit with folks dressing up in Blackface (because it's still funny to some) or other offensive costumes in the search of a few laughs.  The photo above shows a new entry into the world of tasteless costumes via the Ray and Janay Rice elevator abuse video. 

While Ray and his legal team fight for his right to return to the NFL, Janay is fighting her own battle...online.  Recently she responded back to a Twitter troll who suggested that her domestic dispute happened because she married a Black man and THEN she was confronted with the costume above taking over her timeline.  Here's what she said...

We can only imagine the position Janay Rice is in..... having to deal with this in a very public manner.  We hope people stay away from this costume and recognize that domestic violence is not a laughing matter.

Usher Spills His Heart About Girlfriend Grace Miguel, Talks His BODY & New Album

Usher is now ready to let the world know about the love of his life: Girlfriend Grace Miguel.  Check out what the Billboard cover guy had to say about his woman inside, plus the status of his indefinitely pushed back album and more...

After years of hiding her under the guise of ONLY being his manager, Usher is opening up about long time girlfriend Grace Miguel.  At 44, she's 8 years his senior (we all know he has a thing for older women).  And it seems she's used her wisdom to help the superstar turn his way of thinking all the way around.

In the new issue of Billboard, cover star Usher spilled his heart about Ms. Grace saying:

 

"I have an incredible partner and manager.  She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and my career.

She's someone who has been able to support and understand all of who I am.  Not just as a dancer or as a performer or as a singer, but as a humanitarian and a businessman and as a person.  One thing that has come from having a great partner like Grace is being able to cherish the places that I've gone," he says. "We see the monumental sites, go to the museums, eat in the best restaurants. I'm that guy now! In the past I'd do what I have to do and get on the bus to the next city. Life has become a vacation."

Sweet!

 photo usher-2014-cover-bb36-02-990_zpsf0a62ccd.jpg

He also spoke on his protege Justin Bieber, his friendship with Diddy and that album folks have been waiting on.  Here's a few highlights of the single dad (he has primary custody of his two sons with ex-wife Tameka Raymond) had to say about life:

On pushing his album back indefinitely:

"I just ain't ready. Meaning I have more that I want to say and more that I want to do. My process is pretty different. L.A. Reid will tell you, it takes two albums to make one with Usher.

Marketing is more important than it has ever been," he says. "But I'm trying to tear the layers back and make it not so contrived. I think people just want entertainment. For certain artists it might be hard, but they don't have the show."

On his extra fit body

 "These days, I try to eat for my blood type when I'm not eating for the fat kid inside me," he says. His blood type? "A doctor I know came up with it, but hasn't released it yet, so I don't want to tell you too much about it," he explains. "But the idea is to eat the foods that work best for your body. For my blood type the meats I can eat are pork, beef and fish."

On his friendship with Diddy

"I'd say I earned my stripes in New York City. My time with Puff, it gave me chutzpah....I got to see performers like Tupac Shakur," he says. "Redman, Method Man, Ice Cube. I got to perform onstage with The Notorious B.I.G., be in sessions with him and Craig Mack. I got to be part of the driving force that was Bad Boy, that was Puff."

On his current relationship with protege Justin Bieber

"Our relationship is more man-to-man now.  He's making his own decisions and it's important to show support. I can say I'm not happy with all the choices my friend has made, but I'm supportive of him. I try my hardest to give as much positive reinforcement as I can. I'll punch him in the f---ing chest when I need to, and give him a hug and kiss when I need to. It's more than just mentoring. I love the kid."

LET THE SHADE BEGIN...."RHOA" Star Kenya Moore FIRES SHOTS At Porsha Williams For Riding Her Coattail, Porsha POPS Back

Those darn Georgia peaches are firing shots, throwing shade and reading volumes.  Check the slick exchange that went down between "RHOA" "peach holder" Kenya Moore and "friend of the housewives" Porsha Williams inside... 

 

Season 7 of RHOA won't premiere on BRAVO until Nov. 9th at 8/7c, but the fireworks have already started. It appears that Miss USA Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams have not kissed and made-up since their exchange at last season's reunion became one of the most talked about fights in reality tv history.

During a recent interview with Enstarz, Kenya was asked about Porsha's demotion to "friend" and the shade began. First Kenya said,

"Um, honestly I don't have any thoughts about it." Then she added, "It's just that I've made people relevant on this show for negative occurrences and I'm just not doing that any more. I think people need to stand on their own two feet and not ride my coattails, and you see when they don't ride my coattails, they don't get very far."

Oh ok then.......

Now...Porsha no longer holds a peach, but she IS nationally syndicated on Dish Nation. When she got wind of what Miss USA said, her new co-workers at "DN" didn't waste anytime getting a rise out of her over Kenya's comments. She fired back with,

"She can't be talking about me.  I mean....you'd have to be doing something for somebody to ride your coattail right?  You've got to be on the way to progression and being successful for somebody to ride your coattail.  I thought. Is that not what that means? I'm just sayin...."

Check it here:

 

As "Hollywood Diva" Golden Brooks would say, "Let the games begin."

 

By the way, remember when Tamar Braxton threw shade at Kenya last week, calling her thirsty?  Kenya had a few more things to say about that to Enstarz,

"It's so interesting because this is not the first time I've heard that and I was on her show, "The Real" last week, and we were all very pleasant to one another and I think that was the only time I've met her in person and there was a very pleasant exchange. So, to see her say that on Bravo, which is my family and that's my home... So you're going to come into my house and disrespect me? I couldn't just stay quiet about that. If it was someone else, I would just ignore it like I always do. But you don't get to come into my house and disrespect me. I was disappointed by her but I will always be nice to her. And I will continue to be nice to her because that's just who I am. But sometimes, when people see you shining--again, she was in my house so maybe she felt some type of way about that."
 

Bloop.

We’re well into breast cancer awareness month. And to continue to keep folks informed on breast cancer and women’s health, Planned Parenthood and BET joined forces to throw the “BREAST Party Ever”, a community event to help raise awareness about the importance of breast health in women with early detection through self exams and screenings.

Gabby, all smiles in a cute & comfortable look, posed it up alongside Planned Parenthood of South Florida and the Treasure Coast CEO Lillian Tamayo. Lillian encouraged the crowd to become advocates in their communities, and to educate others on the importance of annual exams and breast screenings. She said,

“The Breast Party Ever is Planned Parenthood’s way of honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month here in Miami, because we know breast health is a serious matter. For more than 12 years we have provided breast health outreach and education across our service area. Women, men, and young people need to understand their risk and be advocates for their own health and that of the people they love.”

Doug E. hopped on the mic to provide the entertainment for the evening.

The Ava DuVerney-directed film will follow civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. and his supporters in the civil rights movement that forever altered history. British actor David Oyelowo will be starring as Dr. King, Carmen Ejogo as King's wife Coretta Scott King, Cuba Gooding Jr. as veteran civil rights attorney Fred Gray, Lorraine Toussaint as civil rights activist Amelia Boynton, Niecy Nash as teacher Richie Jean Jackson and Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt will serve as producers.

It’s Scorpio season. And if you haven’t heard, Scorpio is a fiery water sign and Adrienne is just that…a hottie drawn to the beach!  

“The Real” co-host Adrienne Bailon celebrated her 31st birthday yesterday. So to celebrate, she trekked it to Puerto Aventuras, Mexico for some birthday fun. Chick definitely needed a little getaway after hustling so hard on her daytime television show and her upcoming hosting gig on "Nail It".

While living it up at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, Adrienne flaunted her curves in a black Mint Swim swimsuit (by "BBW LA" star Draya) on the rocky seashore. Then the former Cheetah Girl switched it up to a black and white cut-out one piece for another impromptu shoot.

Amber Rose is single woman now. And she wants you to know it. Peep her “Ms. Rose” nameplate and find out how she feels about divorcing her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa when you go inside….

“School Dance” actress Amber Rose has been keeping busy to help keep her mind off of her pending divorce from her husband Wiz Khalifa, making appearances at nightclubs (with her manager Nick Cannon) and red carpets recently.

But, although she seems to have it all together, the budding actress revealed she’s devastated having to go through her divorce in the public eye. Amber filed for divorce from her rapper husband after just one year of marriage, requesting full legal and physical custody of their son Sebastian “The Bash” Thomaz. Since then, nasty rumors have been circulating about both of them cheating on one another and it looked like things were going to get ugly.

In an act of declaring her single status, she popped up on the red carpet at the wrap party for her upcoming rom-com “Sister Code” at the Xen Lounge in Studio City Thursday rocking a “Ms. Rose” nameplate (above).

While on the carpet, the video vixen turned actress chatted with HipHollywood, where she opened up about how devastating it is to be going through a public divorce and revealed she still misses her husband very much. She dished,

“[It's] devastating. I’m human. I’m going through a divorce. I love my husband, I miss him a lot. But you know, sh*t happens.”

 

Check it:

It seems the two may have had a sitdown where they hashed out their problems. On Amber’s birthday, Wiz tweeted an amicable Happy Birthday message to his estranged wife. Amber, in return, said thanks calling him sweetheart and added the hashtag #StillLoveYouNoMatterWhat.

As she continues to move forward with her life as a single mother and budding star, her almost ex-husband Wiz is on the road for his "Blacc Hollywood Big Secret Tour", which hits the House of Blues in L.A. tonight.

Looks like Willow Smith is gearing up to kick off her singing career once again.

After releasing a few tracks of her own, 13-year-old Willow Smith was tapped to perform before a packed crowd at The Fader magazine’s FORT concert in Brooklyn last night.

Before her 14th birthday this Halloween, she and her brother Jaden Smith wowed the stage with their performance, vibing to some of their original tunes. Willow performed a few tracks from her upcoming EP titled 3, which is expected to be released on iTunes Nov. 10th.

Tired of wearing contacts to change her eye color, Tiny has taken it to the next level and allegedly got implants to change her eye color. No really. Deets inside….

First breast implants, then booty injections…now eye color-changing surgery?

Since returning from a recent vacay with herdaughter Zonnique and hubby T.I., “Tiny & Shekinah’s Weave Trip” star Tiny Harris came back with a brand new look…ice gray eyes. And apparently, she allegedly went under the knife for the permanent fix.

Once she debuted her new eye color on Instagram, rumors sparked that the reality star had undergone surgery to have her iris color changed.

Confirming rumors herself, she hopped on Instagram and confirmed she did indeed have surgery to permanently change the color of her eyes using implants to change the color from brown to “ice-gray”. She thanked the doctor who performed the procedure and seemed pleased with the "exceptional customer service" she received. She allegedly posted (and deleted):

"I permanently changed my eye color with Brightocular and loving it! Thank you Dr. Montasser Menif for the amazing experience and for making my dream come true! I hated wearing contacts just for the color and it made my vision blurry! Blessed to say my vision is #perfect after my #ice-gray implants. Special thanks to #Spencer Vessa for all that you’ve done to make the process happen. You’re amaZing & thank you #Faiza for your exceptional customer service, For more info everyone GO visit brightocular website; and to get the #BEST #DEAL when booking your appointment, mention Promo Code #KM404 and tell them I sent you!!!"

Why does this sound like a damn infomercial? Sighs...

Her homie/stylist Shekinah Jo posted a picture of Tiny’s new look via her Instagram with the caption,
 

 photo eye3.png

"It's us!!!! @majorgirl and me!!!!! Here again in NYC to see our girl @WendyWilliams notice anything different about my buddy??"

 photo eye4.png

And Tiny also posted pics of her on the set of her first film Meet The Blacks where she's playing a character named "ShaRonda." Wondering if the role was cast for a black woman with gray eyes...

Check out this clip of Tiny's new eyes:

While LaLa held on to Future Jr., CiCi and Kiyan explored the exhibits, crawling inside a huge tortoise shell to see what it would be like to be a land-dwelling creature inside of a shell. Cute.

Mo'ne Davis is having the best year ever.  The 13-year-old prodigy of a baseball player went from the Little League World Series to throwing out the first pitch at the World Series Saturday.  And nailing it, obviously. 

 

Check out the record holder doing what she does best, plus her new Chevy commercial that teaches America what "throwing like a girl" really means...

We've talked about her 70 mph fastball and making history by becoming the first female in history to pitch at shut out game at the Little League World Series.  Now, Mo'ne Davis is still taking over 2014.  The real life YBF chick threw out the first pitch at yesterday's World Series Game 4 at AT&T park.

 photo 1414328397564_zpsbd389c54.jpg

And she had director Spike Lee accompanying her:

Nice.  Check out her throw below:

By the way, MLB was celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Little League World Series during pregame festivities.  So, having Mo'ne throw out the first pitch was only fitting.

 

As for what Mo'ne's been up to since summer ended, she's shooting her very own commercials and documentaries with Chevrolet and Spike Lee.

With the support of her family and passion for sports, Mo’ne stands for girls who want to play with the boys. She embodies the spirit that drives an athlete to push further, work harder, and overcome challenges. So it's time to listen to her open letter to America in Chevy's new 60 second spot.  Here's how to "throw like a girl":

 

Chevy also sponsored a 16 minute mini-doc about the baseball phenom.  Check that out below:

Christina Milian and LA baller Nick Young was spotted out with their kiddies this weeknd. Meanwhile, Blac Chyna left her son King Cairo behind as she made her way through LAX. Peep their candids inside….

Taking a break from jet-setting with her rumored beau Lil Wayne, Christina Milian grabbed breakfast with her favorite little girl… 4-year-old daughter Violet.

 photo cmv2.jpg

The mommy-daughter duo threw on some leggings and t-shirts before trekking it to Subway in L.A. to fuel up for the day.

 photo cmv3.jpg

Violet is growing up fast! And is so adorably cute. Look at that face! We will be seeing more of little Violet on her mom's upcoming E! docu-series. The show is tentatively titled "Christina Milian Turned Up" and it is set to premiere in 2015.

 photo cmv4.jpg

Wonder if Weezy will be making any cameos...

Also in L.A. with a kiddie....

 photo nison1.jpg

L.A. Lakers baller/Iggy Azalea’s boyfriend Nick “Swaggy P” Young was in full daddy-mode taking his adorable son Nick Jr. to pick pumpkins. The NBA player and his 2-year-old spent their day at Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood.

 photo nison2.jpg

Earlier this week, Nick starred in some festive shots for Forever 21’s holiday ad campaign alongside his girlfriend Iggy. It appears daddy Nick will be asking his son for modeling pointers. Nick Jr. nabbed his first modeling gig for a high-end children's clothing line called Roubleau. And we hear he’s a natural.

 photo nison3.jpg

And while munching on a hot dog, Nick was nice enough to chat it up with the photogs. Nice.

And at LAX....

 photo chi1.jpg

Dressed in all black, her Chanel bag, LV luggage and a pair of Timbs, Blac Chyna rumped her way through LAX airport, sans her baby boy King Cairo.

Earlier this week, the video vixen dressed up as a “naughty nun” to party it up with Amber Rose for her 31st birthday. In true Blac Chyna fashion, she left hardly anything to the imagination.

 photo chi2.jpg

Much like her everyday wear.  And while her son’s father continues to shoot down rumors he’s dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner, Tyga did open up on why he and Chyna went their separate ways. He told VIBE,

“We decided to take a break apart ’cause you don’t wanna raise an emotionally unstable child, and that’s what it comes down to,” he said. “It wasn’t my happiness, and it wasn’t her happiness. It was for the sake of King.”

 

Well good for them. They may be “broken up” but they're definitely still spending time in bed….
