Surprisingly, Kanye West was in a really good mood. So much so, he snapped a picture with the paparazzi! Peep Ye posing it up with a photog and pics of LaLa Anthony getting ready to cheer on her man Carmelo Anthony for the Knicks’ home opener inside….

Well someone was in a good mood yesterday. While making his shopping rounds in NYC (sans his wife and baby Nori), Kanye West was spotted leaving his hotel when a photog in an interesting sweatshirt caught his eye.

Kanye was so intrigued by his sweatshirt that he stopped for a photo-op with the photog! Now…we all know this is a big deal. Ye has had many not-so-nicerun-ins with the paparazzi. In one instance, he and the photog were involved in a scuffle as Ye attempted to take his camera. Paramedics were called...it was just a big mess. But now, it seems he's playing nice.

Not only did he pose it up with the photog, he stopped to snap a pic with fans as well.

But before the "Heartless" rapper took off in a cab....

He had to play paparazzi himself! Kanye was so fascinated by the young man's D9 Reserve crew neck sweatshirt that he copped a few pics of his own, snapping photos with his cell phone. Guess the fashion head got inspired.

Then shook hands before he rode away. Nice!

Also in NYC....

The NBA 2014-2015 season has officially kicked off. Which means, celebs sitting courtside to watch their favorite players go hard in the paint.

And in true supportive wife fashion, LaLa Anthony stepped out last night to cheer on her husband Carmelo Anthony as he and his team went head-to-head against the Chicago Bulls. She kept is stylish in an all black sweater dress paired with black knee high boots as she walked inside Madison Square Garden for the Knicks home opener.  

Unfortunately, the Knicks stumbled in their first game and were beat by the Bulls, 104-80. Tonight, the Knicks take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in LeBron James’ first NBA game since returning home. They will battle it out at the Quicken Loans Arena in Akron, tipping off at 8pm ET.

Who ya got?!

The ladies on “The Real” kept it 100 as they talked about their insecurities and extra baggage they carry around with them on a daily basis. Tamar Braxton got super emotional when she opened up about suffering from the skin disease vitiligo. Also, reality stars Tiny & Shekinah hit up the show to play a game of “Attached At The Hip.” Check it inside…

In today's episode, the ladies of “The Real” opened up and allowed themselves to be vulnerable as they discussed their personal insecurities and struggles that they carry internally. Pull out the tissues!

During an emotional chat sesh, the usually outspoken “Tamar & Vince” star Tamar Braxton let her guard down and revealed she suffers from a skin disease called vitiligo. She's spoken about it before, but many accused of her of giving a false excuse simply so sh could bleach her skin.  Tamar could barely talk from being so choked up. She revealed she doesn’t work with a lot of makeup artists due to her disease and at one point in time, she use to sit on her hands to try and hide them because the discoloration was so bad.

She candidly said,

It's so hard for me to talk about my insecurities so I always talk about "Oh I'm beat, I'm done." And, you know, I talk about myself and I say it out loud so I can start to believe it. And I just carry that with me only because I have a skin disease called vitiligo and it's so crazy that nobody believes it. Oh my God. And the reason why I won't work with a whole bunch of makeup artists is because I don't want other people to see it. And so I used to sit on my hands, 'cause it's really bad on my hands, and it's so funny that people think I bleach my skin because bleaching won't take all my pigment. It's so crazy. And I tan to try to hide it. And it's so funny because I, just backstage, just today, and that's why I'm so emotional, because I'm talking about it. Just today, somebody I haven't seen in a while was like, "Oh my God, I was thinking… who is that white woman over there in the white? Oh that's Tamar." And I find myself always defending that I am who I am. And so for me, I just decided, you know what Tamar? You are going to accept yourself for who you are because either you're going to like me for me or you're not going to like me for me.
 

The other co-hosts also got candid on their insecurities.

Tamera Mowry Housley revealed her struggle of comparing herself to her twin sister, “Instant Mom” star Tia Mowry Hardrict. She said she’s tired of being called the “cute, goofy” sister while Tia was always regarded as sexy. She spilled,

Umm, well… I'm a twin, duh. Umm and a lot of the times, being a twin, you can have… God, I'm about to cry. I don't want to cry. Dang it. Well, okay. I didn't want to cry. I haven't cried at all in a very long time and that was something I didn't want to do. It does. I've never actually told you guys this. Um, being a twin people compare and they compare a lot, by default. It's not their fault but sometimes, you know, they see two people and they either say, "Oh… She's the sexy one or she's the cute one. She's the goofy one, she's the sassy one." Well, I was known as the goofy cute one. And I used to read our fan mail all the time and that's what I used to get all the time when I was 16 years old and I kept it. Are y'all crying now too, Jesus. Well I kept it. So going to college, I carried that. I was like "Oh, the goofy cute one. I'm not the sexy one." And guys would literally go, "Oh, you're so goofy, you're so goofy!" And I always thought it was a negative term cause all I wanted to be was sexy. I didn't want to just be cute. So now, to this day, honestly, when people say, "Oh you're so cute," there's a part of me that goes "ugh." I'm 36 years old, I'm a grown woman, and I have to own that I can be sexy and not only that… Honestly, I wake up every single day and I question that and it doesn't matter. My husband can be like, "Oh my God, you look so sexy," and I hate that I always say, "Really? Really?" So I'm going to work through that…
 

Loni Love dished on a time when a professor made her feel inferior to another woman because of her lack of wearing high-end fashions, while Jeannie Mai disclosed she felt she had to get eye surgery popular in the Asian culture to make it in television after a family member told her she would need to have cosmetic surgery on her eyes.  And Adrienne Bailon admitted she equates relationships to being successful.

Teyana Taylor is serving up some tomboy sexy for the newest issue of Rolling Out magazine. Peep her cover and find out what how she’s handling negative critics on social media, her relationship with NBA baller Iman Shumpert and how she is the uber perfectionist inside…...

Since her first major U.S. tour got cut short (after August Alsina fell ill), Teyana Taylor is still steadily working hard at making her mark on the music scene.

The “Maybe” singer is gearing up to release her debut album titled VII (Nov. 4th –which initially was slated to drop Oct. 21st), releasing new visuals and tracks from the upcoming LP. And in between studio sessions, media appearances and filming for a new BET scripted series “The Start Up”, G.O.O.D. Music’s first lady is putting her model skills to work.

The Harlem native is gracing the cover of Rolling Out’s latest weekly issue. And she’s serving up a bit of tomboy chic while topless in a pair of black panties, ripped denim shorts and a flower printed coat.

In the cover story, Tey opened up about how she’s dealing with social media trolls, being happy in her relationship with NY Knicks player Iman Shumpert and being a perfectionist, much like her mentors Pharrell and Kanye West.

Below are the highlights:

On dealing with negativity:
“I don’t block that s--- out; it hurts,” Taylor says.
“But then you also have the brighter side of things. It’s a give and take. If you can take compliments, then you should be able to take when people have negative things to say. It’s very hurtful, but I don’t block it out. It hurts, then I speak about it, and then it’s over. You’ll read one negative comment out of 99 good comments, but it will be that one negative comment that will really have you pissed off. But once you relax a little bit and calm down and think about the good, then it makes you feel better and you go about your day.”

On dating NBA player Iman Shumpert:
“I’m happy,” she admits about her relationship with Shumpert. “I’m not on the phone too much and I’m not really on social media now. When you have a peace of mind, which is your companion, you listen to your man so when he’s telling you to calm down, then eventually you let it go. But when you’re in your own space and you feel independent with your feelings, then it’s just like, ‘OK, I’m going to do what I want to do.’ But when you have your peace of mind, it takes your mind off all the negativity and all the people that [are] trying to bother you.”

On Pharrell and Kanye West:
“Pharrell and Kanye are perfectionists and that’s all they surround themselves with and that’s all they know,” she shares. “When you’re around that, it automatically rubs off on you. So everything I do has to be perfect, it can’t be half-a--ed. You either gotta do it or not do it at all. So, definitely perfection is the most important thing.”

In addition to appearances from his inner circle, his teammates Kyrie Irving, Dion Waters, Anderson Varejao, Shawn Marion, Tristan Thompson, Matthew Dellavedova and Joe Harris also make cameos.

The short film will air tonight during the live broadcast of the Cavaliers' season opener going head-to-head against the NY Knicks and will continue to air throughout the month of November.

Gabrielle Union turned 42 yesterday! And to celebrate, she rounded up a group of her girlfriends (and fellow Heat wives) and cheered on her man Dwyane Wade during the Heat’s season opener. Peep her party pics and new video of former teammates Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard going AT it during their 2014-2015 season debut inside….

42 & Flawless! “Being Mary Jane” star Gabrielle Union kept it laid back and chill celebrating her 42nd birthday. On Wednesday evening, Gabby and her girls cheered from the stands as her husband Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat battled it out on the court against the Washington Wizards for the season opener.   

Chick is slaying her 40s.

At halftime, Gabby and friends trekked it to the American Airlines Arena hotspot Hyde, where the birthday celebration continued. The TLAM2 star was surprised with her favorite dessert…red velvet birthday cake (yum) along with a few bottles of Moët & Chandon champagne. Cheers!

Actually, two cakes were in order for Gabby! Her friend/singer Monica Brown also gifted her Omaha native friend with a Nebraska Cornhuskers helmet cake in honor of her alma mater. Monica said about it,

 Anyone who knows @gabunion knows she does NOT play about her fav [football] team. #NebraskaCornHuskers #SheLovesFootball #SheSingsCountryMusic LOL #OmahaInTheBuilding

Once halftime ended, the 42-year-old actress was spotted smiling from ear-to-ear as she jumped up and down cheering for her man during the game. To top off her birthday, the Heat defeated the Wizards 107-95. And after the game, Gabby and friends toasted to another year of life. Fab times.

And at another season opener….
 

'They fighting!' Well…verbally.

On Tuesday night, tempers were flaring between L.A. Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant and Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard.

During the 4th quarter of the Lakers/Rockets opener at the Staples Center Tuesday night, Kobe took two elbow jabs to the chin from Dwight (above), which resulted in double technical fouls against the players and a few war of words between the two. You can read Kobe’s lips as he shook his head calling Dwight “soft” and egged him on saying “try me.”

It’s no secret these two didn’t get along when they were both playing for the Lakers during the 2012-13 season. And even now, the two are continuing to butt heads on the court.

After their scuffle, Kobe was caught in a new video, as he sat on the side line calling Dwight a “soft muthaf*cka” and then he called him a “b*tch a** n*gga”! Sheesh...sounds like fighting words to us. Check it below:
 

Bloop! Dwight got one up on Kobe as the Rockets defeated the Lakers, 108-90. Maybe next time...

T-Pain is singing y’all! And this time, he left his auto-tune device at home. Take a listen to T-Pain singing a few of his hits sans auto-tune and find out what he said about Kanye West not using the tool correctly. Also, we have a funny video of Anthony Hamilton and his backup singers remixing “P.O.P. Hold It Down.” More inside….

The king of auto-tune is proving he doesn’t NEED the tool to sound good on a track. T-Pain, who flooded the music charts in the 2000s with his auto-tuned hits, performed before an intimate crowd for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series recently. And he left behind his auto-tune machine…on purpose.

The Nappy Boy Entertainment founder caught a lot of heat for using auto-tune so much on his tracks. It even sparked Jay Z to drop a track “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune) in 2009, throwing jabs at artists who use the tool as a crutch. Now, whether he was talking about T-Pain specifically, that remains unknown, but Pain did pop back at Hov after the track dropped saying“a 59 year old shouldn't be trying to dictate what's hot in rap”. Bloop!

Now…the 29-year-old (yes, 29) rapper/singer is proving he doesn’t actually need auto-tune. Sitting before a small audience with just a microphone and his friend on the keyboard, T-Pain remixed a three of his hits “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin'), "Up Down (Do This All Day)" and "Drankin' Patna” as he crooned the lyrics in a melodic way. And he sounds pretty damn good.

Check it below:
 

Speaking of auto-tune....

In a recent interview with HuffPost Live, T-Pain revealed there are only two artists who have mastered how to use auto-tune (outside of himself) and that is Chris Brown and Jamie Foxx. Makes sense, since he said he was the one who taught both of them how to use it. He sounded off,

"When people hear Auto-Tune, they know that it's used so much for a crutch. I use it to turn my voice into an instrument. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of guys that use Auto-Tune that cannot sing. The only person I heard use it correctly, like I use it, was Chris Brown and Jamie Foxx".

So who is using the technology and just not doing it right? According to T-Pain that would be Kanye West! You’ll recall Yeezy dropped an entire album, 808s & Heartbreak, in 2008 using auto-tune and even with the help of the “Rappa Ternt Sanga” Ye still isn’t using it in the most effective way…well so says Pain.

He dished,

"Kanye uses it, but he doesn't use it correctly. He makes great music with it, but the way that I use it and the way that I've shown Chris and Jamie to use it, he doesn't use it that way," he said. "He sings without it first, and then he puts it on it. ... You don't know how it's going to come out. You can't catch your mistakes before that happens. Sometimes he gets a little wobbly and things like that."

Oh…ok. It’s interesting to note, T-Pain actually helped Ye on his 808s album and said that the result was “pretty good” being that he helped him use the technology. Guess he’s just not feeling what Ye dropped afterwards.

And in a hilarious video…. 

Anthony Hamilton has joined in on the viral video foolishness of “P.O.P’s” Donna Goudeau.

After rocking the stage in Melbourne, Australia during Soulfest 2014, Anthony Hamilton and his backup vocalists, dubbed The Hamiltones, decided to have a little fun backstage. In a video clip, Anthony and his crew freestyle their version of “P.O.P. Hold It Down” crooning lyrics/quotes from the recent viral sensation. And it will have you cracking up!

For the first time, Tiny Harris is speaking out about undergoing surgery to have her eye-color changed from brown to ice-gray. Find out what she told “Good Morning America” about the procedure and what her husband T.I. thinks inside…

We were shocked to learn reality star Tiny Harris underwent surgery to permanently change the color of her eyes. Last week, the “Tiny & Shekinah’s Weave Trip” star posted a picture to Instagram announcing she had changed her iris color from dark brown to ice-gray and she seemed super excited about it.

During a recent trip to Tunisia, Africa (with hubby T.I. and her eldest daughter Zonnique), Tiny went under the knife for the procedure using BrightOcular which, according to the website, is intraocular implant that is placed in the anterior chamber of the eye to change the appearance of the iris. And the reason she had to travel overseas to have the surgery done is because it’s actually illegal here in the United States!

This morning, Tiny appeared on “GMA” where she explained step-by-step how the procedure was performed and how she felt once the surgical operation was over. She revealed,

"They go into the eye and they make a little slit," Harris explained of the procedure that uses a medical-grade silicone. "They take an implant and it's folded up. They open it [and] spread it over your eye. They told me that the procedure was going to be quick, five to 10 minutes an eye," she said. "They woke me up. It was very blurry, then it kind of fades in."

So what does T.I. think about all this?

"He was like, 'What are you doing?'" Harris said, adding that now her spouse is OK with the change. "He loves them," she said. "He's OK with it as long as I'm healthy and don't have any problems."
 

When asked why she decided to go through with it, she responded,

“I just wanted to do something different. And I have the right to do that. It’s my body.”

Well...it's not the first time she has altered her body in some way.

After she initially posted to Instagram that she had changed her eye color, she deleted the posting soon after. Maybe the social media backlash was too much for her at first.

Now, she seems to be comfortable with it all because she has since uploaded another Instagram post, praising the doctor who performed the surgery AND sharing a promo code for those of you wishing to change the color of your eyes. She also added a note from the team who performed the surgery. It reads:

 

I permanently changed my eye color with Brightocular and lovin it‼️ Huge thanks to the incredible doctor(s) 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 the #Brightocular staff for ALL that you've done to make this process happen, you're amaZing & thank you to the hospital's staff for your exceptional customer service as well,‼️I would also like to raise awareness about those under privileged living with serious eye conditions called ocular albinism, aniridia, and iris coloboma. Brightocular can help you. For more info everyone GO visit the brightocular.com website; to get the #BEST #DEAL when booking your appointment, mention Promo Code #KM404 and tell them I sent you!!! ✔️ SD Note: Ofcourse any procedure has potential risks but no one has gone blind with brightocular and the success rate has been close to 100%. The media is referring to a story from 2009 and data of side effects from a different shaped and even different colored implant that is currently used in Panama since 2002. Brightocular was launched and patent approved in 2010. We do not recommend using this implant from the doctor in Panama. Brightocular is the only artificial iris implant with the United States patent grooves and channels design to accomplish a successful surgery. For more info on the differences, risks, and benefits of all artificial iris implants used around the world, contact brightocular.

The part that stands out the most: "Of course any procedure has potential risks but no one has gone blind with brightocular and the success rate has been close to 100%."  Please note, there have been no LONG TERM studies conducted to confirm this....LONG TERM.

Anyhoo, check out her full interview here.

Beyonce was feeling nostalgic with her back-in-the-day style Christian Dior clutch purse in NYC yesterday.  Peep the pics inside and why the social media reports of her trekking it to Cleveland to see LeBron's game were likely false...

In a gray leather skirt and plaid button down, Beyonce was spotted leaving her midtown Manhattan office once again.  And, once again, she used her bag to block her middle section:

Interesting.  Since before noon Thursday, folks on Twitter, claiming to be from Cleveland were making claims that Beyonce and Jay Z were spotted roaming the streets in their city in preparation of LeBron's big home-coming game.  No credible receipts were provided, but once she was actually pictured on the streets of NY later Thursday evening, The Carters in Cleveland seemed to be nothing but hopes and dreams.

While plenty of celebs were on hand at the Quicken Loans arena last night, it doesn't seem to us like The Carters were part of that.

Meanwhile, Beyonce is working on the big release of her upcoming TopShop joint adventure.  And keeping it effortlessly fab while doing so.

Call it "Blood (MONEY), Sweat & Heels".  Because Geneva Thomas is suing her co-star for some BIG BUCKS after that big party brawl.  Deets inside..

Well, ish just got even more real.  A little over a week ago, a brawl went down involving the stars of Bravo's "Blood, Sweat & Heels" on Pier 40 in Manhattan.  The boat party went left when Melyssa, a new cast member, and Geneva began to argue. 

Allegedly, according to several party goers, Geneva picked up a bucket full of ice and bottles and threw it once things escalated.  And she allegedly hit Melyssa over the head with a vodka bottle.

While video footage of the aftermath has surfaced on the net, Geneva is not happy about how she's being painted.  So she's taking it to the court system. According to TMZ:

"Blood, Sweat & Heels" star Geneva Thomas is suing her co-star for $25 MILLION ... claiming the woman got her falsely painted as a violent criminal.

Thomas claims Melyssa Ford defamed her after an ugly fight on a boat last week while shooting their show. Ford claimed Thomas grabbed a glass bottle and shattered it over her head. Ford had to get 3 staples in her head to close the bloody gash.

We would make a joke about Melyssa and her credit card issues (that we've seen on the show), but nevermind.

We have reached out to Geneva's team for comment but have yet to receive a response.

Happy Birthday Willow!

Alicia Keys' Keep A Child Alive 11th annual Black Ball went down at Hammerstein Ballroom last night.  And plenty of celebs came out in full force for the cause.  Check out Alicia, her baby bump, her man, her performance and tons of her celebrity friends who came out to raise money to save children in Africa from the AIDS epidemic...

Oh, the sweetness.  Last night Alicia took her bump out for a glamourous night of charity as she and her husband Swizz Beatz shared kisses and laughs on the red carpet of the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball.

The mom-to-be (again) rocked her favorite style--a grecian-inspired gown--with sparkling silver off the shoulder straps.

And she stopped over at Aretha Franklin's table to pay her respects to the Queen:

Aretha and this fur are determined to be the belles of this ball.  She posed it up with her longtime friend Clive Davis (who was equally as influential in Alicia's life) as well.

Madonna was also there and snapped some pics with the woman of the hour.  And speaking of Madonna, she snapped some us-sies with Kanye West (and Riccardo Tisci) too:

Hey 'Ye!  Looks like he flew solo...meaning without wife Kim but with his...friend...Riccardo.  By the way, Kanye popped up at an open mic night in New Jersey the night before, much to the surprise of the locals.  He was there to support the 17-year-old rapper daughter of one of his closest friends.

Angela Simmons served up one of our fave looks of the night.  This midnight lace Michael Costello gown was perfection:

Gorgeous.  And the hair and makeup were on point as always.

LaLa Anthony, dressed in head to toe Moschino, brought her bestie Po Johnson along as her date.

We're loving everything about this effortlessly sexy coat dress.

Heeey Nas.  After dropping his new JDilla-produced song "The Season" yesterday, Nas rolled to the black tie event to perform with Alicia.  Nas is wearing a burgundy hounds-tooth, one button, peak lapel jacket, black dress shirt, and black pants all by Ermenegildo Zegna.

Models Joan Smalls, Selita Ebanks & Alek Wek sparkled on the carpet.

Rapper Angel Haze hit the carpet before her performance.

Estelle looked glamorous in Gustavo Cadile's F/W '14 collection black strapless gown with a beaded stripe bodice.
 

Fashion head honcho Andre Leon Talley made an appearance:

And so did philanthropist Russell Simmons.

Philanthropic ladies Gayle King, Denise Rich, and Bethann Hardison were all there glammed up and ready to support:

Nice.

Jeannette Jenkins showed off her super fit bod in a fitted nude sparkling gown for the occasion.

Celebs posted their own fun pics from the ball too:

Host of the night Diddy got in on a group pic with Swizzy, Riccardo and Yeezy. 

Lovely.

It's a clique of fabness.  Good friends Estelle, LaLa, Po, Jeanette, Angie Beyince and Angela all posed it up during the event.

Hot.

And Angela posted the fun she had while visiting the tables of her celeb friends:

And her Uncle Russell.

Peep Alicia and Nas' performance, with LaLa flexing her rap skills:

Everybody wanted a piece of LeBron James' homecoming last night in Cleveland.  Check out the NBA's "Coming Home" festivities before the Cavs game last night inside, and the celebs who kicked it courtside...

There was lots of hype last night surrounding Bron's return to the Cavs.  He and his team lost their home opener, but the city was on fire with performances and celebs to celebrate the homecoming of Ohio's favorite son.

Kevin Hart jetted to Cleveland to do some pre-game hosting duties with Charles Barkley and co.  They introduced the performing acts, Imagine Dragons and the homie Kendrick Lamar:

Nice.

Kevin cuddled up courtside with fiancee Eniko.  But first:

He flew in on a private jet and parked next to Cavs part-owner Usher.  Peep his commentary:

Ha!!

Back at the game:

Usher, his protege Justin Bieber, and Michael Strahan chopped it up courtside.

And Ursh gave Bron a big 'Welcome Home' hug.

And before the Cavs took the floor against the NY Knicks, Usher belted out the National Anthem:

Super Knicks fan Spike Lee was on the sidelines cheering on his team in the hostile environment:

Ha.  Gotta love it.  The Knicks ended up pulling it out 95-90.  Tonight, the Cavs travel to Chicago to battle it out with Derrick Rose and The Bulls.

The drama continues.  Peep the injuries Geneva Thomas received from that bloody boat brawl while the Bravo "Blood, Sweat & Heels" cameras rolled...

As reported earlier, Bravo reality star Geneva Thomas is suing her co-star Melyssa Ford for $25,000,000.  Yes, that's 25 MILLION dollars.  And it's all because of that boat party brawl that went down earlier this month.  As you know, Geneva says she's being framed as the villain since Melyssa reportedly received stitches in her head after Geneva allegedly hit her with a vodka bottle.

And what we didn't know, is that Geneva received stitches and abrasions herself.  She has issued a statement, via her attorney, about what exactly she's suing for.  And it's a laundry list of claims.  Geneva also reminds everyone that she still has the right to press battery and assault charges against Melyssa and newcomer Arzo Anwar, who was also allegedly involved. 

The statement in full is below:

The nature of this action is for Prima Facie Tort, Battery, Defamation, Malicious Prosecution, Abuse of Process and Intentional Interference with a Business Relationship. Geneva is seeking compensatory money damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and $20,000,000 in Punitive Damages, the cost and disbursements of this action, and any other relief the court seems just and proper.

The summons with notice is for Melyssa Forde and Arzo Anwar, the two women who initiated a physical fight with Geneva on Tuesday, October 21, 2014.

Arzo Anwar is a friend of Melyssa Forde and the newest cast member on the show.

Despite reports, Geneva also sustained medical treatment at the Lenox Hill hospital and received stitches for 4 abrasions to her chest.

The only reason why Geneva was arrested is because Melyssa called police first. Geneva has the right at any time to press charges against Melyssa Ford for battery assault and possession of a weapon and act to have both Melyssa Forde and Arzo Anwar arrested. The District Attorney of New York City has officially subpoenaed the Bravo video footage.

The stars were out in NYC last night. Power 105.1 hosted their annual Powerhouse 2014 concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. And it brought out a slew of YBF celebs such as Jay Z, Beyonce, Chris Brown, T.I. & Tiny, Trey Songz, J. Cole, Young Jeezy, French Montana, Tinashe, Migos, Bobby Shmurda and more.  

'The Kang' and his wife Tiny (who recently spoke out for the first time about her permanent eye color change) were spotted making their rounds backstage.

Sexy singer Trey Songz was all smiles on the carpet before the event.

As he made his rounds, Trigga caught up with raptress Remy Ma dressed in her Halloween costume.

To feed her fans with some new Remy tracks while they wait for her official post-prison album, Rem will be dropping her mixtape, I'm Around, today at 3pm.

'Coke boy' French Montana kept it cool on the carpet. He recently dished to Wendy Williams about his relationship status with Khloe Kardashian. Stay tuned for that...

"Seen It All" rapper Young Jeezy posted up in all black before hitting the stage with Jay Z.

Newcomer Tinashe was tomboy chic on the red carpet before she hit the stage.

"My Main" singer Mila J showed off her toned abs on the red carpet.

Rapper and one of last night's performers Childish Gambino was also in the building.

"The Breakfast Club" co-host Charlamagne tha God looks like he's transforming right before our eyes. He did say he lost 25lbs...and said his dermatologist "got him straight", so that could be it.  Hmmm....

And DJ Clue (who don't see much) was also in the mix.

On stage/backstage:

Beyonce, dressed up as Rhythm Nation era Janet Jackson for Halloween, was spotted backstage posing it up with little Dejjay.  We love it!

The lucky youngin' (whose IG is full of pics with celebs) also snapped a pic with Hov.

"The Breakfast Club" hosts were busy interviewing artists backstage.

Angela rocked a cute Rag & Bone short jumper and Givenchy boots.

For the pre-Halloween bash, Jay Z surprised fans with a special appearance performing alongside Young Jeezy for their hit single “Seen It All.”

T.I. stormed the stage to perform "Top Back", "U Don't Know Me" and one of the ladies' favorites "U Can Have Whatever U Like."

Chris Brown performed a few of his hits before he was joined on stage by Trey Songz. The duo performed their remix to "Tuesday". The two VA natives are currently gearing up to go on a joint tour together.

Ad also kicked it backstage with Power 105 ladies Angie Martinez and Angela Yee.

J. Cole also hit the stage to perform.

Migos got the crowd on their feet for their single "Fight Night".

Tinashe rocked the stage performing "Pretend" and "2 On".

And Bobby Shmurda did the "Shmoney" dance to his hit single "Hot N*gga". 

We hear the front door had to be shut down from letting anyone else in, as Barclays had reached capacity (for this type of concert).  Looked like fun times...

Chris Brown is talking! And he’s spilling all types of tea. Find out what he said about his battle with drugs, how he felt about his ex-girlfriend Rihanna dating his frenemy Drake and whether marriage and kids are in the future for him and current girlfriend Karrueche inside….

Chris Brown did a very candid and eye-opening interview that aired this morning. He spilled all the tea and dropped plenty of notable nuggets.

During a sitdown with Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning show (for the first time), Breezy was very honest and open about the many situations he has been involved with over the years.

He said at one point in time, he was battling with drug use and it was affecting his craft (“I was falling asleep on video sets"), the Rihanna situation (“We made amends, we good now”).  He also said how he felt when Rihanna did her interview with Oprah (“I was actually moved by it“), how he felt about Rih dating Drake (“I was tight”), how he and Drizzy squashed their beef for the 2014 ESPY Awardsand whether marriage and kids are in the future for him and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

Below are the highlights:

On battling with drugs:

“I was off the syrup, the Xanax....that’s the hood cocktail. I was falling asleep on video sets, I was cussing people out randomly. I was doing crazy stuff. I would wake up and be like ‘aye man, what time we shooting this video?’ And they would be like ‘dude we shot it yesterday.’ I be like ‘Damn!’

He then realized, “This ain’t for me. As time progressed I was like let me chill out. I don’t want to be a zombie when I meet people. Or say the wrong thing, or end up punching somebody or doing something crazy…like I did…because I was under the influence of some bull.”

His biggest demon:

“Being afraid of failure.”

On the Rihanna situation:

“Me and her, we made amends. Like, we good. She's my friend. I knew that was a mistake I would never do again. I look back at it like I was 17-18 and I’m 25 now so I look back it like ‘dang’. And I’m still doing community service and going to see the judge every month in a half over that situation.”

On getting back with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna:
“Yea..we was cool. For me it was like a lot of it was on me trying again to pick up the pieces. I just wanted to make sure it was still there. But at the end of the day, I kinda wanted to make amends to her to show her I could be the man she wanted me to be.”

On Rihanna opening up to Oprah:
“It was a shock for me because you know, with different teams and how people’s camps work. After I saw it I was like ‘ok cool’ now she’s showing me that she care because I didn’t know for awhile. I was actually moved by it. That’s when I knew we could be friends and can talk.

On Rihanna dating Drake:
“I look at it like this. I’m content with who I am so whoever decides to move on and do their thing I was cool. I mean, I was tight, but you also have to consider that was in the ‘thug Chris Brown era’. I was in my bag. At that time I was just all about running up on dudes, when I see you it’s this.”

So does he feel like Rih started dating Drake on purpose?“She’s going to get mad when I say this but in a way I do. It’s understandable. It’s the game, we young. We do that at that age.”

On the bottle throwing fight with Drake:
“That was a ‘stick ya chest out’ contest. That’s all that was.”

On who made the initial call to squash his beef with Drake:
“Honestly, his camp hit up my management and they was like we got this opportunity at the ESPYS, we want to do a spoof. So I was like cool. They were kind of hesitant because they didn’t know our temperature between each other. But I was just like I aint got time to be looking over my shoulder and be upset. It just doesn’t make me look good. But, I was just like let’s break this whole beef thing. Let’s just do something funny, let’s make light of the situation. It just shows growth and maturity.”

On his first encounter with Drake:
“I think we just avoided talking about the issue at that point. We was just like ‘What’s up man? We good.’”

On his girlfriend Karrueche being loyal:
“It’s been almost 5 years. She’s straight. I dig her man. She’s dope. I feel like, especially being in this industry, you just need somebody that understands you. Who understands who you are personally except for your name. Me and her have a real connection, like best friends on top of our intimacy.”

On marriage and kids with Kae:
“I’m scared of marriage cause I’m young right now. Kids? Yeah man, I need a little Chris Brown cause when I can’t dance no more I need to teach him something. I ain’t rushing.”
 

Well alright! Glad Chris has seen the errors in his ways and is now attempting to become a better man.  For the first time in a LONG time, we can actually see the growth in him as a man.  Keep it up Chris!

Peep his interview below:

As for Rihanna...

While on the carpet at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta for her ROGUE Man fragrance launchlast week, she was asked,“What are you looking for in a man now?"

She responded, “I’m not looking for a man, let’s start there.”

Ha! *Snaps*

There are rumors circulating that Trey Songz and Mila J are dating. And last night, the two only fueled the fire behind the speculation. Get the deets on their night and find out what French Montana had to say about dating Trina and whether he and Khloe Kardashian are still together inside…..

So are R&B crooner Trey Songz and budding singer Mila J dating? We’re not exactly sure, but last night could be an indication that the two could possibly be romantically involved.

Last month, we told you about the talk on the rumor mill that these two are dating. Trey was caught writing “love you too baby” in the comments on a pic he posted of Mila J with the words “I Love Trigga” on the picture. And he also posted a picture of Mila and himself with the caption, “she so fine”.

Well, last night, both Trey and Mila attended Power 105’s Powerhouse concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. And afterwards, they linked up to continue the night’s festivities.

Mila and Trey were spotted partying it up at Stage Forty8 in NYC. Neither The Motown singer (nor Trey) confirm or deny involvement with each other, but Mila did say they are "just very good friends". Mmmhmm….

We hear the two never left one another’s side throughout the night as they danced to tracks from Trey’s TRIGGA album and Mila’s debut EP M.I.L.A. (Made In L.A.). They spent the entire night sipping on champagne and enjoying each other’s company. And as you can see (above) the two looked like they got quite cozy with one another.

Looks like a little more than friends to us…but you decide.

And in a candid interview....

French Montana stopped by the “Wendy Williams Show” this morning to dish on his current relationship status with his girlfriend (?) Khloe Kardashian. French was originally scheduled to perform with singer Jeremih, but since Jermih missed his flight, French was tapped to perform “Don’t Panic” and was convinced to sit down with Wendy. Luckily for us, NO questions were off limits and he kept it 100.

The Coke Boy revealed he and Khloe are in a “special zone” right now and that every relationship has its ups and downs. So we’re assuming these two are still together. He also revealed he was NEVER in a relationship with raptress Trina and confirmed the big $2million payout he gave his now ex-wife Dean Kharbouch.

Below are the highlights:

On he and Khloe Kardashian’s current relationship status:

“I just feel like every relationship, you break up and make up. Right now we’re on real good times. We’re in a special zone right now. She’s going to be my baby forever.”

On if he’s dating Khloe for publicity:

“I don’t feel like love come like that. That’s just something people want to run with. I feel like when you meet someone you really like you don’t worry about that stuff”

On Trina introducing him to the Kardashians:
“No, not at all. Kanye [West] invited me to the Barclays Center to his show and just so happen Kris [Jenner] and Kim [West] was there. Then so happen Trina knew Kim so she said ‘Hi, this is French’ That’s what it was she didn't introduce me to them”

On his relationship with Trina:
“Honestly I was never a couple with Trina. I was just going through my divorce so I was just having fun with life. I wasn’t in a mental space [to be in a relationship]. I can’t claim nobody after I was just going through a divorce”

On his divorce being finalized and having to pay his ex-wife $2 million:
“Yea something like that. I don’t really want to talk about it I might start sweating”

On his son Kruz Kharbouch:
“My son is good. I’m going to see him tomorrow. Take him trick or treating in the park”

On if he got paid for the upcoming reality show “Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons”(which starts this weekend):

“Big time”

On Kris Jenner:
“I love Kris. She’s a strong woman just to be in the position she’s in. They go through a lot that people don’t see. I love them a lot”
 

Oh....
