Meanwhile, our classy First Family showed off their official Easter portrait.  And it's fab!  President Obama, First Lady Michelle, Sasha, Malia, Bo and Sunny put on their Spring best for the cutest pic.

The First Fam visited the historic Alfred Street Baptist Church in Virginia for Easter service.  Their surprise appearance reportedly caused a positive uproar amongst the patrons.  Gotta love it.

Lance Gross showed off baby Berkeley's super cute Easter look as she chilled with daddy.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are putting their co-parenting skills to good use.  They put their differences aside so they could help twins Roc & Roe during their Easter Egg Hunt.  Sweet!

Kandi & Todd Tucker spent Easter in Paris...celebrating their 1 year wedding anniversary.  They snapped pics in all of the tourist locations like the Love Locks bridge, the Moulin Rouge show, the Eiffel Tower and more.  We're sure cameras are rolling for their new spinoff show.

Several award shows aired over the weekend and we have an exciting roundup of what you might've missed. See a Destiny's Child reunion at the Stellar Awards as well as First Lady Michelle Obama, Ciara, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and more at Black Girls Rock inside...

A few days ago We brought you red carpet pics from the fabulous 2015 Black Girls Rock event which was pretaped a few days ago at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The program aired last night on BET/Centric and we witnessed amazing and inspiration speeches from First Lady Michelle Obama, Black Girls Rock! Star Power Award honoree Jada Pinkett Smith and BGR founder Beverly Bond. There were also amazing performances from some of our YBF faves (check out the full playlist attached below for performances from Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Ciara, & more).

Beverly Bond on the "Black Girls Rock" mantra:

Jada Pinkett (shown above with Willow Smith and her mom Adrienne Jones) accepted the Black Girls Rock! Star Power Award during the broadcast.  She received a rousing intro from her hubby Will Smith who joked that he learned she'd filed for divorce via TMZ. (It wasn't true.)

They shared a long kiss and Jada's speech included the line, "We are the women that marched from cotton fields into fields of medicine, politics, law, education, entertainment. We even found a way to march ourselves into the White House, as the first lady of the United States of America."

During her presentation FLOTUS recognized the M.A.D. Girls for their outstanding professional achievements and talked about growing up in Chicago and fighting against the odds.

She told the audience, "Eventually, I learned that each of those doubts was like a little test. A challenge that either I could shrink away from or rise up to meet. And I decided to rise. I decided that I wasn't bossy, I was confident and strong. I wasn't loud, I was a young woman with something important to say. And when I looked into the mirror, I saw a tall and smart and beautiful black girl."

81-year-old actress Cicely Tyson shared words of wisdom during her acceptance speech for the Living Legend award.

At the Stellar Awards.... 

A few days ago, we shared some exciting pics from the 30th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Las Vegas which featured a reunion of Destiny's Child. The ceremony aired over the weekend and we witnessed the trio rekindle their flame for a performance of Michelle Williams' single "Say Yes", from Michelle’s fourth solo studio album Journey to Freedom. It was the trio's first performance since Beyoncé’s Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in February 2013.  During the broadcast, Michelle won her first Stellar Award for Video of the Year for “Say Yes.” Watch the full performance here:

Amber Rose stepped out in Hollywood last night debuting a new blue hue. Decide if we like it inside….

Amber Rose was tapped to host Penthouse Sundays in West Hollywood last night. And while trekking it inside, chick debuted her new blue hue, ditching her usual platinum blonde hue.

The Sister Code actress slipped into a white cut-out jumpsuit (white seems to beher new “it”color these days) to party it up with her LGBT fans last night.
 

Her new hair color comes on the heels of her pouring her heart out about her estranged husband Wiz Khalifa on Instagram recently. In her declaration of love she spilled,

My #ManCrushEveryday you know what it is.... We went wrong somewhere and even if we never ever get back together ( Even tho I pray, dream and hope we do) he will forever be the love of my life. The media doesn't make it easy but fuck them we gotta live for reality and not society. We forever have a bond because we made a beautiful baby from our Love. Through all the ups and downs of our relationship my heart still beats for him every single day. I'm sick of putting on a front like I'm happy without him. I'm not. He makes me happy. He's the only one who can. Regardless of how our lives Turn out in the long run he will always be the skinny tatted up stoner that has my heart.
 

Maybe her new hair color is a reflection of her mood nowadays. Either way, are we feelin' it?

San Francisco 49ers running back Reggie Bush and wife Lilit are expecting their second child.  While the couple (and their publicist) have kept quiet about the news, we noticed Lilit's baby bump on Instagram a few days ago.

Lilit recently posted a video of herself during an intense boxing workout where we CLEARLY see the bump. She captioned the video, "Raising a #beast from very young."

Lilit and Reggie married in July 2014 in San Diego, Calif and are the proud parents of daughter Briseis, 22 months.

It seems the holidays can almost always bring families together. And that rings true for Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. Peep pics of the estranged couple having some family fun at Tamar Braxton’s Easter egg hunt, plus flicks and videos of Toni Braxton, Adrienne Bailon and Malika & Khadijah Haqq singing karaoke inside…

This Easter Sunday brought one troubled couple together. Following Amber’s heartfelt Instagram post about wanting her husband back, Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa reunited with their son Sebastian yesterday for some Easter egg fun.

The threesome hit up Tamar Braxton’s house in Calabasas for a fun-filled day complete with an Easter egg hunt, an Easter bunny and karaoke.

Last week, the Sister Code actress took to her Instagram to express how much she still loves her husband and that she hopes the two may reconcile. Well, it appears her wish has been granted as the two spent some much needed family time together on Easter Sunday.
TMZ sources say the twosome got cozy with one another, all hugged up and playful and, at times, walking away from the crowd for a little alone time.

Hmm….does this mean the divorce may come to a halt? Time will tell…

Also at the Braxton/Herbert's.....

Tamar and her big sis Toni Braxton were heavy on the mic for some karaoke fun.

Tamar's "The Real" co-host and friend Adrienne Bailon also came out for the Easter festivities. Adrienne's fiancé Lenny Santiago dressed up as the Easter bunny for the kiddies, but Tamar’s son Logan wasn’t feeling it. Tamar captioned, “Hi Lenny!! Logan broke up with me for this dang bunny!! #whoinvitedthebunnytoeaster #fhim” Can't say that we blame Logan....this bunny looks a tad bit scary.

Twins Malika and Khadijah Haqq (who recently picked up their own spin-off show "Dash Dolls") were in the mix.

And Adrienne showed off her glam-of-the-day. Loving her make-up and dress.

Peep a clip of Tamar, Toni & Adrienne rocking out to Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa" for their karaoke selection:

Yesterday, Diggy Simmons made his way to soundcheck ahead of his performance at the White House, which goes down today. He's set to hit the stage for the annual Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn.

Very thankful for this moment. #GimmeFive Happy Easter everyone!!!" Nice!

Today....

Ahead of his performance, Diggy was spotted patiently awaiting the arrival of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for a quick meet-and-greet.

And look who else is at the White House. “black•ish” cuties Miles Brown and Marsai Martin are all smiles before the 2015 Easter Egg Roll. Too cute!

As her head literally floats in space, hovering over her body and the accident, the viewer sees how the car-accident unfolded as scenes from Jhene's childhood flash in the background.

Jhene dedicates the video to her brother Miyagi, who died of cancer in 2012. “To #4 from #5, you are my eternal sunshine.”

It’s Easter at the White House! And the annual Easter egg roll went down on the South Lawn today hosted by our fab President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Also, Diggy Simmons hit the stage for a special performance. Check it inside….

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off the 137th annual White House Easter Egg Roll event today on the South Lawn, filled with Easter eggs, live music and storytelling.

Around 35,000 people gathered at the White House for a chance to enjoy some Easter activities with the Commander-in-Chief and the First Lady. In honor of the 5th anniversary of Mrs. Obama’s “Let’ Move” campaign, this year’s theme was “Gimmie Five,” encouraging children (and their parents) to come up with five ways they plan to become more active and live healthier lives.

The festivities kicked off with three young ladies singing the National Anthem, followed by girl group Fifth Harmony singing “Happy Birthday” to celebrate the “Let’s Move” initiative.

Joining Mrs. Obama was the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 & Thing 2 to read to the kiddies who came out for the Easter fun.

Then it was time for the Easter egg roll!

Daytime talkshow "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan came out for the presidential activities.

Then, Mrs. Obama hit the stage to bust a few moves with All Stars from the television show "So You Can Dance." They got down to Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars:

Outspoken rapper Azealia Banks is defending herself regarding the "sex" comment she made about President Obama.  See what she said about the joke inside and why she thinks the media is sexualizing her...

"Ice Princess" rapper Azealia Banks is quietly reaching household name status...but for all the wrong reasons.  On the heels of a critically-acclaimed artistic video for "Ice Princess" and nailing a coveted cover of PLAYBOY, her recentBILLBOARD feature didn't paint her in the most flattering light.  Now, many folks know her as the chick who said she wanted to f*ck President Obama.

The quote from the article read, (on President Barack Obama)"He’s so fine. Those big-ass white teeth and ears hanging off his head? I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I want to f--- the president.'"

You can imagine the collective sigh around the country....

In her defense, Azealia says it was a joke and she said many intellectual things that were left out of the interview.   

Followers of Azealia's timeline can easily argue that she talks about race and politics (more than she talks about sex), but you wouldn't know that from the BILLBOARD piece...

Will Obama supporters see the humor in Azealia's statement?  The verdict is still out.  But she's getting her karma.  She tweeted, 

Oh Azealia.....don't come for the FLOTUS!

UPDATE:

In an Instagram post, which she had deleted, Azealia says she won't be don't any more interviews (for at least a year).

Russell Westbrook, the 2015 All-Star Game MVP, donated the KIA he won to single mother Kerstin Gonzales. See pics inside...

On Sunday, Russell Westbrook notched his 11th triple-double during the OKC Thunder game vs. the Houston Rockets.  But today, he's in the headlines for his good deeds instead of his good dunks.

Russell was named the 2015 All-Star Game MVP back in February, and that distinction comes with a brand new KIA. Mr. Westbrook decided to donate the vehicle to single mother Kerstin Gonzales.  Upon winning the car, he knew he wanted to give it to someone who really needed it.  So he reportedly reached out to Sunbeam Family Services in Oklahoma City to find out who could really use a mode of transportation.

On the OKC Twitter timeline, Russell revealed his motivations for the gift: "Today was a good stepping stone to show her everything is going to be all right."  He added, "All the hard work she's done to keep her family together....I just want to be able to help others any way I can."

And then there's this touching video of how it all went down.  Check it HERE.

Awesome, Mr. Westbrook!

Did Lil Wayne move to end the legal drama between him and Cash Money?  It seems that way.  Deets inside on the reported dismissal of that $51 million lawsuit...

[UPDATE] Reportedly, Lil Wayne has moved the lawsuit from New York to New Orleans, so the lawsuit is not dropped, per se.  It's what we said previously could possibly be the case. It was dismissed in order to re-file in a different jurisdiction.

In a shocking move, papers were filed yesterday by Lil Wayne's attorney, Michael B. Kramer, to dismiss the ongoing lawsuit first filed in January.  TheJasmineBrand.com got a hold of the court docs that state Lil Wayne and Young Money have moved to dismiss the initial lawsuit, which demanded Cash Money to allow Lil Wayne out of his contract and to pay Wayne money he claims he is owed.

The dismissal states that the "action is voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, against defendant Cash Money Records, Inc."  In other words, the case can indeed be re-filed if plaintiff Weezy decides to do so.

We reached out to Wayne's legal team for clarification on the reasoning behind filing a dismissal (it's possible Wayne simply wants to re-file in a different jurisdiction or for a different damages amount under different terms), but have yet to hear back.

If you're a Tinashe fan, we've got a triple dose of the songstress.  She sang the national anthem at the Dodgers Opening Day, dropped a video for "All Hands On Deck" and did a funny interview about her desires to touch Nicki Minaj's boobs.  More inside, plus Matt Kemp working it out on Opening Day... 

"2 On" singer Tinashe has a new feather under her cap. Yesterday, she managed to pull off the national anthem at the opening day game between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Performing in front of thousands is something the songstress has always dreamed about.  During her recent Be You shoot, she opened up about how life has changed since she started recording hits:

"My life has changed dramatically. I am constantly on the move performing shows and meeting new people… I can’t go places I used to go all the time without getting recognized… fans wait outside of my hotel for pictures… it is really incredible."

Check out her belting out the National Anthem below:

Matt Kemp, one of the Padres' star players, also posted pics from the game, which also served as his big return to his former Dodger home.  He captioned, "We're just getting started. @padres #OpeningDay."

He was also joined by his parents, as well as legendary (Brooklyn) Dodger Jackie Robinson's family.  He said, "Blessed to have my parents & the Robinson family at ‪#‎openingday‬ San Diego Padres."  Nice!

In addition to performing for Dodgers fans, Tinashe dropped her "All Hands On Deck" video on the same day. 

The Ben Mor-directed clip was shot in Long Beach, Calif. and features some smooth choreography that takes place in a shipping yard. During one point, she and her crew are performing in suspended shipping containers at night.

She discussed the clip in Billboard saying,

“I feel like when you put yourself in a borderline dangerous situation, exciting things can happen. That shock value is always what you want to go for in a memorable video. We were over 100 feet in the air with no safety harnesses. Literally, we could have died. It was a thrill to make and I’m so excited for my fans to see this video. We really stepped it up, visually.”

But wait....there's more Tinashe....

In the midst of everything else she's up to, she managed to record an interview for Hot 97 with Nessa.  Tinashe's recently wrapped her  European tour and she'll join Nicki Minaj on her “Pinkprint” tour, starting July 17 in Dallas.  During their chat, she revealed how she ended up on The Pinkprint Tour and why she won't be working with Iggy Azalea.

“Well, I was initially confirmed to go on tour with Iggy this summer. And I was super excited about it. It was me, Nick Jonas. And then she postponed the tour. So, totally unrelated. I hadn’t committed to Nicki. I didn’t even know there was a Nicki Minaj tour yet. The tour was already postponed and I already had prior commitments in the fall. And I wasn’t able to go on tour with her in the fall, which is when it was rescheduled to. So, we couldn’t do the tour. Unfortunately, I had to part ways. And then after that happened, coincidentally, I got the Nicki Minaj offer…I’m really excited. I think the line-up on the tour is amazing.”

Also, Tinashe reveals that she hopes Nicki will let her grab her boobs while on tour. If that ish happens, it'll make a nice clip for the VINE.

Christina Milian could hardly contain herself talking about her boyfriend Lil Wayne during a recent radio interview. She even “slipped up” and revealed she loves him. Check out C-Milli turn into a school girl with a crush inside….

Since seemingly going public with their relationship, Christina Milian is starting to open up more about her relationship with Lil Wayne, confessing her love for her man.

The Young Money singer is no stranger to speaking on her relationship with Wayne (all the while Weezy has remained vocally mum). She has spoken on the relationship multiple times, but she always left a little to the imagination about how serious the two actually are.

Well, after finally putting their relationship on front street (posting up a pic of them along with her castmates on the set of her FOX pilot "The G Word”), C-Milli seems ready to sing from the hills about her love for the Young Money honcho.

During a recent interview with Big Boy on Real 92.3 L.A., the “We Ain’t Worried” singer giggled through her chat with Big Boy as they discussed how people make a big deal about seeing them out and about being affectionate (most recently out in L.A. holding hands). Getting tongue-tied with her words, she said she and Weezy don’t really hide their relationship, but it may seem that way since Wayne is not a real public type of person and prefers to keep his private life personal.

When asked why she’s with the "Truffle Butter" rapper, she says,

“He’s a sweetheart, I love him.”

They also touched on the ring she’s rocking on her left ring finger, which she confirmed isn’t an engagement ring, but a sweet gesture from her man. Oh….
 

Peep C-Milli gushing over Weezy below:

Well alright.

Troubled star Columbus Short is slowly getting back into the game after a tumultuous year filled with domestic violence arrests, run-ins with the law and being fired from the hit ABC series “Scandal.”

The sexy star is currently working on a number of new projects as he works his way back in Hollywood’s good graces. Since making his way back into the limelight, the actor most recently hinted at starring on the hit FOX drama “Empire.” During a recent interview with E!, the former gladiator talked about bridging his music career with his acting career. When he was asked about joining the cast of the super popular hip hopera he replied, “I’m just saying it wouldn’t be a shock.”

A few days ago, the 32-year-old actor even posted up a pic with one of the stars from “Empire” Kris D. Lofton (who plays the rapper Kid Fo-Fo in the series):
 

We’re not exactly sure if he will be making any cameos on the upcoming second season, but we do know he’s working on something similar to hit the show.

In a new interview with Shadow and Act to promote his latest film The Girl is in Trouble (executive produced by Spike Lee), Columbus revealed he’s producing a new gospel show for Bounce TV inspired by “Empire.”

He said,

"And I'm producing a show at Bounce TV with my brother [Bounce TV president] Ryan Glover along with Russ Parr and Swirl Films. We're producing a show that's basically the Gospel "Empire." It's going to be full of drama and great music. Kim Burrell is executive music producer. So I have a billion things going on, but it's great. I love working to push the industry forward. I love to just be a part of this thing, and we're making it happen."
 

He’s also working on a new music competition show based in Africa, which will be much like “American Idol.” He dished,

"I want to diversify, so I have scripted content and some reality content that's great. From travel, to crazy families, to a show in Ghana which is basically like an "African Idol." The first season's going to be in Ghana, then we're going to South Africa to Kenya to Uganda. So basically, we're making an "African Idol" like "American Idol."
 

Well good for him. His new flick The Girl is in Trouble is available in select theaters and on video-on-demand.

Let’s hope he can stay focused on his craft and leave the foolywang antics alone.

In other entertainment news....

Mariah Carey may be starring in a major role for an upcoming Christmas film. It'll be perfect for the Christmas lover, who has found much success with her 1994 hit Christmas song “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

According to Deadline, MC pitched the Christmas flick to RatPac Entertainment and her longtime friend/filmmaker Brett Ratner (whom she was rumored to be dating as they were spotted on vacay in St. Barts last week) and now, New Line Cinema has pre-emptively bought the untitled project.

Now it makes sense why MC and Brett have been spending so much time together. They’re likely working out the kinks for the upcoming movie. The untitled film will bring on writers David Diamond& David Weissman and producer Jon Shestack. As of now, the plot is being kept a secret, but it appears it will be a nostalgic-themed movie.  There are plans to include a number of feature songs, including tracks from Mariah.

Are you here for a very Mariah Christmas?

Rick Ross is in Rome this week and we notice (via Instagram snooping) that Lira Galore is in town too. Coincidence?  We don't think so...

"Phone Tap" rapper Rick Ross is in Rome where he's posted several shots of the fabulous city and a few performance pics from clubs dates.  His entourage includes DJ Sam Sneak (above) and.......

This chick.  It's Lira Galore.  We've been following Lira for a few months (she's popped up in several Rick Ross-related posts) and now she's following him around the world.  So it looks like these two have gone from being in a rumored relationship and hitting the same clubs to a pretty much confirmed couple.

So much for recent girlfriend Ming Lee...

And she packed all her good Easter dresses too...

She was also spotted at his gig in Manchester a few days ago.  We peeped her near the stage.  SIDEBAR:  She's well aware that the internet streets are watching.... 

Oh.

Rick Ross keeps it moving.  New shoes, new liquor, new whips, new chicks......   Lira - save your receipts.

First Lady Michelle Obama invited Kerry Washington and Sarah Jessica Parker to the White House to discuss military families and honoring military families.  See video from the talk inside...

FLOTUS Michelle Obama invited two dynamic actresses, Kerry Washington and Sarah Jessica Parker, to the Blue Room to discuss America’s servicewomen and military spouses. The chat was coordinated by GLAMOUR Magazine and the trio nabbed the May cover of the mag (which we posted earlier).

It wasn't just be chance that the three talked editor-in-chief Cindi Leive and were photographed by Patrick Demarchelier for the month of May (it's also about Mother's Day).

The magazine published an except from the cover story (on newsstands April 14th) where FLOTUS reveals why she's so passionate about military families and Sarah and Kerry reveal their own military connections, Kerry's dad, Earl, served before she was born, and Sarah and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, have friends in uniform.

Cindi Leive: Mrs. Obama, when we interviewed you for your last Glamour cover, six years ago, you were early in your tenure at the White House and still choosing the causes you wanted to champion. You said: "I have to be very passionate myself about the issue to be able to represent it well." What made you passionate about this issue?

Michelle Obama: Well, during the first campaign, one of my jobs as my husband's spouse was to travel around the country and really listen to women. We held small discussion groups, [and] there were voices that were new to me: the voices of military spouses, many of them women, and veterans.... I was overwhelmed by their challenges, and the notion that we as a country don't even know that these women exist, because we live in a country where one percent of the population protects the rights and freedoms of the other 99 percent of us. I thought that if I had the opportunity to serve as First Lady, I was going to use this platform to be their voice.

CL: Joining Forces is celebrating its fourth anniversary. What have been some of the high moments for you so far?

MO: It's always positive to hear how many people are willing to step up—whether it is the employment community, mental health community, or medical community.... The response is always yes.

CL: Kerry, your father served. Sarah Jessica, you have friends who have served. But even so, you were saying that this can be a difficult issue to understand and support. How so?

Kerry Washington: There is this idea that those who serve are untouchable heroes. [But] the more we hear what people are going through, [we realize] it's what every woman is going through.... The challenges are just put under a magnifying glass because their lives are so extraordinary.

Sarah Jessica Parker: I feel like there's a laundry list of issues they face.... Being a working mother, serving, returning from Iraq or Afghanistan—I almost don't know where to begin.... And I feel intimidated by their service; I feel ashamed that I haven't served. So I almost feel like I'm patronizing by inquiring how to help. When you see a serviceman or -woman, you always—I always—say, "Thank you for your service." But you know that's not enough.... What do we do? Every community has a community of veterans. Where do we begin?

CL: Mrs. Obama, where do we begin?

MO: Start in your community. Most of what these men and women need is people in their backyard lending a helping hand.

CL: I know the rates of PTSD are higher for female veterans than for male veterans, and the causes are many, from [witnessing trauma] to experiencing sexual assault. What do we owe these women whose symptoms are getting in the way of their returning to a normal life?

MO: One thing I want to clarify—that every service member, veteran, wants us to remember—is that the vast majority of people returning from service come back completely healthy.... But when we do come across someone who is struggling...we have to develop a culture of open arms and acceptance so that they feel comfortable saying, "I'm a veteran. And by the way, I need little help." This is something we need to do in this country around mental health as a whole—destigmatizing mental health.
