We just fell even more in love with them after peeping their New Year’s Eve coupledom cuteness. Instead of getting glammed up to party at a nightclub or special event, the twosome hired a DJ and brought the party to their place. They invited guests over for dinner, drinks, dancing and loads of fun to bring in 2015.

Taking a moment for reflection, Meagan lit a lantern before releasing it into the universe. She wrote,

"As I released my lantern into the beautiful sky and stars above, I prayed ..and I thanked God for every single moment of 2014 ..and every moment of every year before ... The growth and maturity ..the personal revelation .....vision .. The moments of pain .. hopelessness and helplessness .. .. The moments of supreme joy ..and peace .. the moments of total confidence, hope and faith..

It's been such an incredible journey and testimony thus far .. I'm so grateful for everything I've been through and I am going through -that has molded me into the woman I am today and becoming .. I'm so humbly thankful for my awesome family and the people I can truly count on to love me unconditionally and have my best interest.. I am deeply amazed by this love I have and love I receive, from my incredible, beautiful husband and partner-in-purpose ..And I am overwhelmed with the eternal love and adoration I have for my heavenly Father, my Creator and my best friend. ... Thank you Lord (Dad) for this most incredible adventure .. I look forward, like a child, to this next chapter of destiny ...for me, my loved ones and all your children everywhere. .. Thank you for being Faithful. HAPPY BLESSED 2015 ALL!"

It’s official! We told you about rumors that Terrence Howard and his new wife Miranda Howard were expecting. Well…looks like they were true! Deets inside….

Not only is he gearing up for the premiere of his brand new FOX series “Empire”, Terrence Howard is also getting ready to become a dad for the fourth time. Rumors began circulating back in October after she was allegedly overheard telling friends she was with child while accompanying her husband to a special screening.

The upcoming "Empire" star shared the exciting news (via a third party's announcement at a NYE party the couple attended) that he and his new wife Miranda Howard were expecting their first child together right after the clock struck midnight. He was tapped to DJ at the posh Orange County hotspot AnQi for NYE. But he had a surprise of his own for the new year.

 

 

A photo posted by TheYBF.com (@theybfdaily) on

 

According to US Weekly sources, Terrence took the stage and spit a few rhymes for the crowd. Following his “performance” he was joined on stage by AnQi owner Elizabeth An, who is also a good friend of the couple. As Elizabeth began to dish the baby news, Terrence grabbed his wife to rub her belly (above) as Elizabeth announced, "Terrence and Mira are expecting their first baby!"
 

No word on the sex of the baby (although earlier rumors say she’s having a boy). But the little bundle of joy will be joining the actor’s three older children 21-year-old (mom to 3-year-old daughter Hazel), 19-year-old Hunter and 17-year-old Heaven, all from his first marriage.

Oh…and check out Terrence spitting a few bars before his big announcement below:

They say one way to keep the spark in a marriage is to go on dates with your partner regularly. And one YBF couple makes sure to pencil in some alone time.

“Instant Mom” actress Tia Mowry Hardrict and her husband Cory Hardrict put little Cree to bed before trekking it to the Staples Center to catch the L.A. Lakers go head-to-head against the Memphis Grizzlies last night.

Vanessa Bryant along with her daughters Natalia and Gianna were in the stands to cheer on their pops as he battled it out on the court. After missing a few games last week, the Black Mamba was back on the court to help bring his team to a victory.

Unfortunately, Kobe (and the team) fell a little short. Right at the last few seconds of the game, Kobe had a chance to shoot a three to tie the game and take it into overtime. But the ball bounced off the rim and didn’t make it into the hoop. The Grizzlies ended up taking home the win, 109-106.

BROADWAY FINALE: Keke Palmer & NeNe Leakes Get TEARY-EYED During Final Cinderella Show + Ava DuVernay, David Oyelowo & More Attend Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala

Grand opening, grand closing. Keke Palmer and NeNe Leakes have finished their Broadway stint. And last night, the two ladies were brought to tears as the final curtain fell. Peep pics and read Keke’s inspirational message inside….

After a stellar run on Broadway for Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA musical, it has now come to an end for two YBF chicks.

Keke Palmer made HERstory as Broadway’s first African-American Cinderella, captivating audiences each night with her performance. Last night, the last curtain fell for both Keke Palmer and NeNe Leakes (as the evil step mother) and neither of them could contain themselves, overwhelmed with motion, as they waved farewell to the audience.
 

 photo kekcrying2.jpg

 photo kekecrying.jpg

After the show, Keke posted an inspirational and powerful message about her trials and tribulations she has gone through since her debut as Cinderella. The 21-year-old YBF starlet successfully performed 136 shows (since September) and although she has worked in film and television for years, Keke said she often struggled with feeling like she wasn't talented enough and whether or not she had the discipline to complete such a enduring task. She passionately wrote:

Today was the day. Today was the official end of my Broadway debut. 136 shows out of 136 shows, man .. I can honestly say I wasn't sure if I could do it. Being 21, coming from only film and TV, I wasn't sure I was disciplined enough for Broadway. I didn't think I was old enough and I wasn't sure if I was talented "enough". So many thoughts run through your mind when you're trying something new, but one thing I always know, is God would'nt give me what I was not ready for. You ask for things from the Lord sometimes and we are never sure how they will arrive, or as what they will arrive as. I so badly was struggling with finding sense of self before I embarked on this journey. So many things were happening in my life, but at this particular time I was just afraid to stand on my own, truly. My career was what I mostly hid behind, work .. work .. And MORE WORK! I kept asking God for clarity, for strength, for the ability to not be afraid to GROW! I knew that this experience would be life changing, but I only could imagine what it would change in my technique, I never knew what it would do for me as a person. God answered all my prayers and I followed through with him by not letting my fears hold me back. This Broadway journey has been all about GOING FOR IT! Stepping into an uncomfortable zone and allowing yourself to get the opportunity to receive all the jewels that you are meant to gain from it. That has transferred a lot into my personal life, I have gained so much courage and belief in me, in my heart and my intuition. God found a way to give me the message through my first love, ENTERTAINING! I am not done yet, I know this is just the beginning, but my goodness all I can say is I am so grateful to know the light of the Lord. And not because my life is perfect or because I'm perfect, because I'm NOT!! But, because I CHOOSE to acknowledge the miracles that he has shown me. No matter how big or small they may seem to someone else, they are HUGE to ME! Don't be afraid of the light within, you guys. We all shine so brightly and uniquely, don't block the blessings, the answers to your prayers because you are AFRAID. It's a new year, a new age! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!

 

Totally agree!

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes also posted a message to her fans, saying she will be giving deets on her Broadway journey soon:

 

MY FINAL BOW: What a bitter sweet moment it was! I will be forever grateful for such an amazing opportunity!.....I will post a blog and photos about my journey on Broadway soon on my website neneleakes.com

R.I.P.: ESPN Anchor Stuart Scott Dies At 49

 photo ss1.jpg

It is with great sadness to report the passing of longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott. He was 49. Details inside…..

The sports world has been shaken up with news that longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott passed away this morning, confirmed by ESPN. At age 49, the popular ESPN announcer was a staple in sports entertainment news and single handedly created a slew of catchphrases such as “BOOYAH” and “As cool as the other side of the pillow".

Sports fans have watched the ESPN commentator on television for years after he became a familiar personality on ESPN’s “Sports Center” and reporting on the network’s NFL and NBA programming since 1993.

Over the years, fans watched Stuart’s health gradually decline, but he never stopped fighting even after being diagnosed with cancer on three separate occasions. In 2007, he was first diagnosed with cancer of the appendix while undergoing an appendectomy. Then in 2011, doctors found tumors in his small intestine. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy and was cancer free up until January 2014. He revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer yet again.

But…he always kept a positive spirit and vowed to fight to the end. This summer, Stuart was awarded the Jimmy V Award at the 2014 ESPYS. He took the stage and delivered a very inspiring and motivational speech. Days before he accepted his award, his body had almost completely shut down where he had to endure four surgeries in the week leading up to the awards show. During his speech he said,

“When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer,” Scott told the audience. “You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.”

 

 photo ss2.jpg

Stuart leaves behind his girlfriend Kristen Spodobalski (above, left) and his two lovely daughters 19-year-old Taelor (not pictured) and 15-year-old Sydni (above), whom he had with his ex-wife, Kimberly Scott.
 

Stuart’s passing definitely leaves a void in sports entertainment news. Our condolences go out to the family and may he rest in peace.

Usher and Grace Miguel’s 2015 surely got off to an interesting start.

We told you Usher secretly popped the question to his longtime girlfriend/manager Grace Miguel right before the holidays. The twosome celebrated Christmas together with Grace’s family and it seemed everything was going smoothly…up until New Year’s Eve.

We hear, the “Good Kisser” singer was involved in a brawl at E11even nightclub in Miami while attending a NYE party to ring in the new year. A clubgoer allegedly insulted the R&B crooner’s lady, which instantly set ish off. While the details of the actual fight remain unknown (for now), Usher posted a picture of the aftermath to his Instagram.

Brace yourselves…..

The “I Don’t Mind” singer posted the picture above (and deleted) of his injury following the brawl. He captioned, “You should see the other guy!!” Ouch! If Usher’s eye ended up like that we can only imagine the injuries the other guy suffered.

But…it doesn’t seem Usher is in the slightest bit bothered. He and Grace were spotted in good spirits as they shopped it up at H Lorenzo in Beverly Hills on Friday (atop). NOTE TO ALL: Don’t mess with Usher’s woman!

The seventh installment of the hit series, "The Celebrity Apprentice" aired last night with former Cosby kid Keshia Knight Pulliam making a tearful exit.  As the women's team project manager, she lost to the men's team, led by Geraldo Rivera

In a dramatic boardroom showdown, Keshia was dragged for not raising a large amount of money during the "Pieface" charity fundraiser.  In fact, "RHOA" star Kenya Moore led the charge, questioning why Keshia didn't call her former tv dad Bill Cosby and ask for a check.  During the confrontation, Keshia tearfully revealed that she hadn't spoken to Bill Cosby in over 5 years.

FUN FACT:  Keshia was also the first celebrity kicked off the failed reality series "Splash."  It looks like she needs to avoid competition shows.

It helped me get through the wait to get my result by counting down with me. #spon”

Garcelle, who split from the twins father, Mike Nilon, in 2012, opened up about co-parenting in a blog for PEOPLE recently, sharing,

“I’m not gonna lie. It breaks my heart when I hear them say to their friends, ‘I’m at Mommy’s house this week.’ Even when they’re not with me, they are constantly on my mind. Luckily, co-parenting with Mike has been a blessing because we let each other see the boys even when it’s not his or my week. That’s because we put them first. It’s better for them to see us both at their sporting events and school activities.”

Excellent advice for parents....

SELMA star David Oyelowo was spotted arriving at LAX.  We're not sure where David was headed, but he sure has lot on his plate for 2015.  Maybe he's off to another acting gig?

Since his surgery, EJ has lost over 60lbs and he explained why he chose surgery to PEOPLE saying, "[Weight] is something that I've been struggling with for pretty much all of my life. Nothing was working, and I wanted to make a more permanent decision to get back on track. [But] I wanted to wait until I was a little bit older to know how to handle myself afterwards."

The new season of “Being Mary Jane” will debut next month. And we’ve got the first look at Gabrielle Union in the 2nd season premiere. Also, Keshia Knight Pulliam dishes on why she did NOT ask Bill Cosby for a donation for “Celebrity Apprentice” on the “Wendy Show” this morning. Get it all inside….

“Being Mary Jane” fans get excited! We are less than one month away from the premiere of the 2nd season of the drama series. And before the new season’s debut, a first look at a full scene from the debut episode has surfaced.

In the clip, Mary Jane (played by Gabrielle Union) is enjoying an evening with friends over drinks while engaging in an intellectual conversation about the current state of the black community and the economy. Things heat up when Mary Jane’s brother joins in the conversation about the black community over coming oppression, which sends Mary Jane over the edge. She BLASTS her brother (clearly intoxicated) in front of her friends, belittling him for the mistakes he has made in his life. And it gets pretty intense.

Check it below:
 

The new season of “Being Mary Jane” premieres February 3rd at 10/9c on BET.

On daytime tv this morning.....

Keshia Knight Pulliam appeared on "Wendy" today where she discussed her shocking firing from "Celebrity Apprentice", which we told you about earlier. She was all smiles working a classy, yet sexy, black dress while stepping out of the the NYC studio.

 photo keshiawendy.png

A large part of the conversation covered why she didn't pick up the phone to call Bill Cosby for a donation.  She said, "For me to pick up the phone, having not talked to [him] for five years, except for when we run into each other for a Cosby event, I feel that's not my place to do."

 photo duey1.jpg

Wendy went on to ask Keshia about the sexual allegations, she said, "None of us were there; there are two sides to a story, and we are in America, and it is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It's a horrible situation however you slice it, but I feel that once the dust settles, then people will recognize how much he's given to our society with all of his work. You can't take that away."
