Everyone's favorite reality tv queen Tiffany Pollard aka New York is starring on an episode of E!'s "Botched."  Watch a preview inside and see the list of coming attractions to TV ONE including Vivica A. Fox on "Hollywood Divas."

"I Love New York" star Tiffany Pollard is back...well...at least for a short time.  We haven't seen or heard from TV's original "Ratchet Queen" in a few years and now we know why...she was uncomfortable with her body.  On the E! series "Botched" Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow hook up with Tiffany and attempt to correct her plastic surgery.

After Tiffany "went Hollywood" and got breast implants, she started having complications. As you'll see during the preview, she's very unhappy with her results and is tired of allowing her boobs to stop her career.  Whatver that entails. Season 2 of Botched premieres April 14 on E!

In other television previews...

Will Smith rocks a baldie for his latest flick, the comic book-inspired 'Suicide Squad.' Check out the Academy Award nominee inside and see the first photo of Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester "Rocky Balboa" Stallone in 'Creed.'

Will Smith has been keeping a secret under wraps...and hats.  Yesterday, we spotted the actor on the set of Suicide Squad  and we were shocked! He's been hiding his baldie!  He has chopped off his fade to play Deadshot, an imprisoned super-villain who works for a secret government agency in exchange for redemption.

He'll don a red jumpsuit and metal face plate for the role - so the bald head was essential!  Luckily, Mr. Smith has a nicely shaped head.  The film also stars Viola Davis, model Cara Delevingne, and his Focus co-star Margot Robbie. Suicide Squad hit theaters August 5, 2016. 

In other movie news...

Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan has put in a lot of work for his role in the Rocky spinoff Creed, and we've got the first pic from the set! 

In the photo above, he stands with his boxing coach, the legendary Rocky Balboa, played by the equally legendary Sylvester Stallone.  Michael's character Adonis is the son of Apollo Creed,  Rocky's former rival turned close friend.  Not for nothing, it looks like Michael's bod is in fighting form!  We here to see him shirtless when this film arrives in theaters on Thanksgiving.

Yessir.

Tia Mowry Hardrict has a few words for chicks who publicly make it known that they like married men. And she’s not here for it! Find out what she tweeted and deleted and peep video footage of Aretha Franklin getting caught up in the Holy Ghost at a gospel event held at White House inside…..

“Instant Mom” actress Tia Mowry Hardrict isn’t normally one to dabble in social media shade. But, that all changed this morning.

Apparently, Tia stumbled upon an interview by a woman (who is anonymous) publicly saying she likes married men. But we're wondering if the woman got specific about the “married man” in question...and did she possibly say the YBF actress’ husband Cory Hardrict, who’s starring in the upcoming flick Brotherly Love (April 24th)?

Early this morning, the vegan mom hopped on Twitter to pop off real quick at a chick who apparently doesn’t mind being involved with a married man.

Tia tweeted and deleted, “Saying you like married men in interviews in not cute... Just saying...”
 

A few of Tia's fan caught wind of her tweet to inquire who she was commenting on. The tweets read:

Oooh «@TiaMowry Saying you like married men in interviews in not cute... Just saying...»

— Moira McTaggart (@missbrimo) April 15, 2015

OOP. Who you shading, sis? "@TiaMowry: Saying you like married men in interviews is not cute... Just saying..."

— Baeveri. (@Jayveri) April 15, 2015

RT @TiaMowry Saying you like married men in interviews in not cute... Just saying... *SMH...*

— Ngolela (@Fashionistuh) April 15, 2015

Oh?! Someone has clearly gotten under her skin...but who is she talking about? Is she really poppin' off at a chick who's after her man or is this simply a little PR for Cory's upcoming drama flick? Thoughts?

Also caught on the 'gram.....

Last night, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama invited music legends and stars into the White House to perform for “The Gospel Tradition: In Performance at the White House.”

Guests were treated to performances from Michelle Williams, Tamela Mann, Pastor Shirley Caesar and more. But the whole East Room was shut down (figuratively) after the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin hit the stage to perform "Precious Memories" with the Williams Brothers.

By the end of the track, the spirit was thick in the room as Aretha and the Williams Brothers praised the Lord above. All of a sudden, the Queen of Soul falls down to her knees, filled with the Holy Ghost, as the Williams Brothers tried to assist her up. She was so full of the Lord….she couldn’t get up! Check the clip above. 
 

Praise him!

In other fitness ish:

With his highly anticipated bout against Manny Pacquiao only two weeks away, 11-time world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. opened the doors to his own Mayweather Boxing Club yesterday for an open media workout. 

Boxing fans, get ready for this inside scoop on Floyd's training expertise:

The fight itself is expected to go down in history as the most-expensive match EVER  with Floyd earning about $120 million and Pacquiao getting $80 million!  In a press statement about all the hype, Floyd said, "This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I'm always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent."
 

During a recent feature story, Floyd admitted to Yahoo Sports that he doesn't enjoying training as much as he used to...but he enjoys the lifestyle that the sport provides him. 

"It is at a point where it is business. It is my job. I go to the gym. I train. I know what I have to do. There was a time when it was fun but I am to a point now where I am really over all of that stuff." 
 

His sparring partner for the exhibition was his Uncle Roger (who managed to keep up pretty nicely for an older gentleman).

In addition to Uncle Roger, Floyd's workout was also attended by CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe and his trainer/father Floyd Mayweather Sr. During a candid moment, he even revealed the "Mayweather" game plan.  “I’m pretty sure my father has a great game plan so we can go out there and do what we do best. Our game plan is to be smart, be first, take our time and get the job done.”

Did you know that Floyd's training session are so intense that the Nevada State Athletic Commission conducted an investigation in September 2014 after several fighters complained about 31-minute training rounds, alleged battery, assault and false imprisonment?   Hmm...Is Floyd Sr. training his son for the boxing ring or B613?

Check out the intensity here...
 

After the match...

Although the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight will be watched by millions of viewers around the world, Floyd plans to have a decidedly quiet post-fight evening. He told TMZ that after the match, he won't hit any afterparties (Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj & Jay Z have all announced events), but he'll wind down with his family...and count his money.

Ciara is back in the mix...and she wants everyone to take notice.  Check out her jaw dropping hair-raising feature pic for W magazine, plus the latest dish about her music inside...

Wearing vintage by Rob & Mariel, Ciara is giving life in a new shot for W Magazine.  With big gorgeous curls and a banging body covered in a tribal clothing piece, the mom of Baby Future is looking fantastic.

Here are the highlights from her accompanying interview:

On naming the album Jackie, after her mother

I felt like it was the best title for where I am in my life right now. Being a mom, I can now see the world through her eyes and fully understand what she was thinking. Being a mom has changed me forever.

On what makes this album so different than her previous albums

I am so much more expressive and confident than I have ever been in my life. Even though there has been musical and personal growth, this album really takes me back in time, to when I didn’t overthink the creative process. Before, I would have said Goodies was my favorite album, but now I believe Jackie is my best body of work.

On what she wants her fans to feel

I want you to feel realness, feel happiness, and all the positive energy I have in my life right now. But most importantly, I hope you play the album over and over.

Check out the rest over at W Mag. CiCi's tour (almost) 1-month tour starts May 3rd, and Jackie will be released on May 4th.

Nope, this wasn't a wedding.  Altough it look like Althea thought it might be.  Former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Althea Heart was surprised by her friend Tamar Braxton and her man Benzino with a special dinner to celebrate her birthday last night. Peep the birthday and friends, plus find out what Benzino gifted her inside...

“Braxton Family Values” star and singer Tamar Braxton put together a birthday dinner surprise for her friend/former “LAHH ATL” star Althea Heart with help from Althea’s fiancé (and former reality star) Benzino.

If you haven’t heard, Benzino and his chick were axed from the VH1 series after that explosive brawl with co-stars Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J on the last reunion episode. Following their infamous showdown, Althea pressed charges against Joseline.  In a video deposition, Joseline tried to cover her a** by saying the show is scripted.  

But, chick didn’t let the drama in her life keep her from having one of the best birthdays yet.

"The Real" co-host Tamar Braxton, her husband Vince Herbert and Benzino teamed up to throw a private birthday dinner for the birthday girl. And it appears she really enjoyed herself. Thi Thi and Tamar posed it up for a few flicks, where Althea captioned, "She my big sister to me and I look up to her .. Thank you for surprising me Tay Tay & #Vince @tamar.and.vince @tamarbraxtonher Her #thithi#hbd"

Of course, the #1 man in her life was right by her side to celebrate:

And he came bearing expensive gifts:

We hear Zino gifted his lady with a blinged out Avianne & Co diamond necklace. The sparkling piece features a champagne citrine center stone surrounded by diamonds, and an 18k yellow gold rope chain from their famed “Royal Collection,” created by celebrity jeweler Joe Avianne.

And partygoers were overheard saying it set him back a few grand. During an emotional speech to her fam and friends she said, "I can't thank you all enough for helping me share this special birthday.Tamar, thank you for coming. You always have my back and I love you for it."

Along with celebrating her birthday, Althea also celebrated her upcoming "Controversy" EP, which is scheduled to drop at the end of the month.

How...sweet. Happy Birthday Althea!

Now that he's found true love, actor Michael Jai White hopes to clean his emotional slate with an apology letter to all the women he's hurt along the way.  Read it inside...

Why Did I Get Married? franchise star Michael Jai White, who'll soon hit the silver screen as a stripper in Chocolate City, is madly in love with his lady Gillian Waters (above).  Apparently, those feelings have him feeling very apologetic.  In fact, love with Gillian is so good, Michael has decided to apologize to all the women who came before her. 

In a lengthy letter published on his Facebook page over the weekend, Michael opens up about giving his heart to Gillian and how it's made him a stronger man and a better person.  He goes on to apologize to all the women who didn't get the love they deserved from him, while owning his mistakes.  He even pointed out that he used to think ALL women are crazy.  But now, he knows better.

He said,

"In all my years as a grown man I knew, without a doubt, that women were different than men and required a gang of emotional attention. I came to the resolution that part of a man’s role was to endure women’s emotional neediness by patronizing them much as you would a child: “Yes, Dear, I’m listening,” even though this is some rhetorical BS. “Of course I miss you,” even though I just saw yo’ a– a little while ago! “I see you’re calling me”… even though I just F*^#ing talked to you 20 minutes ago!

As a man, you have to deal with hand holding, “yes dearing,” and freaking cuddling! I endured this for years until my relationships reached their natural demise due to some natural chemistry flaw between us or the woman’s natural chemical imbalance–yes I said it! I believed ALL WOMEN WERE CRAZY and the only choice a man had was to decide exactly how much crazy he’s willing to deal with to sustain a relationship.

It’s crazy to think I, as a man, would ever want to spend every waking moment with a woman, to be all-up-on each other constantly, to talk endlessly about “every-damned-thing” and see each other “every-damned-day!” I was always the spoiled Alpha Male who didn’t have to try as hard and I dealt out advice to my brethren due to my abundant experience with women. I had Alpha Females, “Dime Pieces” with degrees and plenty of them! I pretty much got every woman I wanted, rich or famous and who could argue with my numbers? On every level, I was “The Man!” Agreed? Well take my numbers, “Dime Pieces,” and vast experience and apply it to what I’m about to say–I WAS WRONG ABOUT WOMEN ALL THESE YEARS! My [Exes] were right!

The interesting thing about every good argument is the shifting percentages of validity on each opposing side, but only one concept will tip the argument past the 51% and expose the unflinching reality of the truth. My new life philosophy is to look forward to being wrong because each time I’m wrong, I learn something that unlocks the door to a concept I struggled to understand. The truth is then revealed and to live in the truth is to live in enlightenment.

I am now in a relationship that I never knew was even possible. I’m in love with my best friend who I shower with endless affection, talk to all times of the day and miss the moment I leave her side. I now understand what the women of my past desired from me. They INSTINCTIVELY KNEW that love actually looked this way! Everything from the hand holding to countless daily declarations of love were not only a byproduct of the man’s emotions but it was something easily volunteered by the man who’d truly loved them.

I simply didn’t love my Ex’s in the capacity their spirits knew organically needed to be loved. I believe woman nowadays have learned to settle for what’s FAMILIAR to love. In turn, they’ve had to decide how much of a man’s love they can live without to sustain a relationship. As we men are natural leaders in providing security, it is women who are the natural leaders in how to love. They are instinctively born with the barometer to feel when love is real. The behaviors they’ve required from men IS the behavior that is true for love.

The crazy lesson for men is that YOU’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH OF A MAN YOU CAN BE UNTIL YOU TRULY LOVE SOMEONE BEYOND YOURSELF. I can say that I am now the very best version of myself and that’s due entirely to my relationship. My perspective is clear, my goals are defined, distractions are nonexistent, my business and personal relationships are stronger than ever. I don’t feel like “The Man,” anymore. I feel like A MAN."

 

Much like newscasterTJ Holmes, Michael joins a growing list of men over 30 who've realized that life gets better once you stop playing the field and settle down.  But, he might have broken tons of hearts along the way... 

Would you "accept" an apology from an ex?

Beyonce loves snapping pics. And she’s now sharing a few flicks on her recent Hawaiian getaway with her husband Jay Z to celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary. Peep the saucy pics, her hot bikinis, and check out Chris Brown's #WCW tribute to the Queen Bey inside….

Following their huge star-studded TIDAL announcement in NYC, Beyonce and Jay Z made a beeline to the airport to kick-off their island getaway as they celebrated 7 years of marital bliss (April 4th). The Carters grabbed their swimsuits and sandals before hopping on a plane to Hawaii to soak up some sun and some alone time:
 

We know how much Bey likes to snap pics, so she turned her camera on her hubby for a few shots. The top pic of Hov appears to be a flick taken while riding in the back of a pickup truck through Hawaii. Peep those pics HERE.

And as much as she likes to take pics, she loves to pose for them as well:

Slay.

Mrs. Carter flossed her killer bod in a knit cut-out one-piece. Werk!

Chick got her entire life as she laid out by the pool overlooking beautiful scenery from their villa:

And, in true Bey fashion, did a little exploring around the island:

And for one last body shot:

While we were drooling over Bey’s sexy vacay pics, we weren’t the only ones….

Chris Brown flipped through Mrs. Carters’ sexy shots and one caught his eye. So much so, he used the pic in a #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) tribute to the “Flawless” songstress.

He posted the pic above with the caption, “Respectfully my WCW... Talented individual as well as a wonderful mother and one incredible role mode..." Quickly after posting, he deleted. Not sure why he deleted since he was only giving props, and the fact that no matter how quick you post and delete, it will ALWAYS be caught in a screenshot.

Following his post, the BeyHive swarmed into the comments of his last pic:

The BeyHive STAYS on it.

Monica Brown revealed the cover art for her CODE RED album today, and she's rocking a bold red pixie cut! See the full pic inside and watch the supertrailer for the upcoming season of "LAHH ATL."

Atlanta native Monica is prepping for her eighth studio album Code Red and with the new disc, she's debuting a new look at the same time! Earlier today, the songstress revealed a still from the album's art work in PEOPLE Magazine and we have to admit, we love her red pixie cut.

The photo was snapped by famed-photographer Derek Blanks and she revealed what the new dye job means to her personally.

"The cut symbolizes me getting back to the fearlessness and courageous part of myself that I shared with the world in the ’90s when I released my first album Miss Thang. It’s easy to over-think things and not trust your natural instincts. I let go and let the music be created in my truth.”

Taking it a step further than hair, Monica revealed there are layers to the photo and it hints at what listeners can expect on the follow-up to her 2012 album New Life.

“I love that the cover speaks to how I feel as a woman, artist, mother and wife. I feel strong, encouraged and grateful. I also love that it’s fashion forward.”

Mo set off her bright red hue with a neon-yellow Versace jacket, Hervé Léger bathing suit and Guiseppe Zanotti caged heels.  Hot. She joked, “I embrace and appreciate my sophisticated moments."

As far as a release date for Code Red, Monica wasn't ready to drop those deets, but a quick look at her Instagram reveals that producer Polow Da Don will have a heavy hand in shaping the new sound to match her new look. And we're totally here for it!

Coming soon to television...

The six-minute supertrailer for LAHH ATL does not disappoint...there will be plenty of foolywang going around. On the clip provided, we witness Joseline and Stevie admitting they need therapy (Stevie for drugs, Joseline for anger management). Then we find outthat Nikko will spend this season terrorizing Mimi, whom he's signed to a long-term contract.  While cracking that he owns Mimi, he tells Stevie, “Your daughter gon’ call me Daddy.”

So basic.

Other interesting scenes show Momma Dee hooking up with the ex-husband she sent to jail, Nikko’s wife is introduced as a nemesis for Mimi and Rasheeda and Kirk have a new set of faux-marital problems. When she "discovers" that Kirk is renting a secret apartment she "surprises" him and shows up unannounced.  Side eye....we suppose he didn't see her camera crew coming down the hall.

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 4" premieres Monday, April 20th + 8/7c, followed by Love & Hip Hop Atlanta After Party Live at 9/8c on VH1.

It looks like Azealia Banks may have a new boo!  Check out who she has been cuddling up with lately inside, plus Jennifer Hudson getting her car karoke on with a late night host...

Azealia Banks performed at Coachella this past weekend, and she had some support right by her side.  And he's possibly more than just a friend.

At the Nylon Midnight Garden party on Friday, 23-year-old Azealia showed up all boo'd up with 35-year-old "Bring It On" star Jesse Bradford.  Oh?!

E! News says:

The pair looked "super cute" and were seen hugging and holding hands throughout.

We hear that the duo opted not to pose for official pics together at the event, and in fact separated when asked, but then ultimately reconnected at the party before leaving together.

Hmmm...

Azealia's posted a few pics of the two over the last few days.  She captioned the one above"Happy people" and the one below, "@jessebradford Look at this crazy guy."

Well aren't they cute.  Maybe the rapper will drop a few more gems about their coupledom status soon...

Over on the "Late Late Show with James Corden," the host and Jennifer Hudson bonded in the car over some in car karaoke:

When Jennifer's song "Trouble" with Iggy Azalea conveniently came on, the twosome busted out every word.  With a passion.  Ha.  Check it above.

Recently, MempHitz lost in the defamation lawsuit he filed against VH1, “Love & Hip Hop” producers and ex-flame K. Michelle. And he’s not happy about it. So what does he do? He takes his frustrations to Instagram! Of course. Peep the video clips MempHitz posted trying to expose K and his thoughts on black women being the demise of powerful black men when you go inside….

After two-and-half years since filing a lawsuit against Viacom, “LAHH” producers and his ex-flame K. Michelle, it has come to an end. Well, sort of.

You’ll recall, the former Jive record exec sued VH1, “LAHH” producers, Monami Entertainment and (later) K. Michelle (real name Kimberly Michelle Pate) for defamation in September 2012, after K went on the reality series making accusations that MempHitz physically abused her. In the multi-million dollar suit, he also made claims of embezzlement on the program. Although K never said his name on the show, it was pretty clear whom she was referring to when she touched on being physically abused.

Toya Wright’s estranged husband was seeking $15 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages, but that all went out of the window after Fulton County judge Robert McBurney decided to side with the defendants last week.

Now he’s mad. So, as most celebs do nowadays, he took to Instagram to air out his frustrations in a series of Instagram video clips of K’s deposition footage.

In a series of posts to try and expose K as a liar, Memphitz dug up a "LAHH" episode clip of K claiming she still had possession of every text message allegedly sent from MempHitz where he threatened to kill her son.

In another IG clip, K is sitting on the stand during her deposition where MempHitz's attorney asks K if she ever presented the alleged texts to her attorney or Monami Entertainment (show creator Mona Scott Young’s entertainment company), in which she replied, “No.” Then, he posts another deposition clip where K reveals she does NOT still have possession of the alleged texts. She responded, "No, I don't keep text messages. You know, I have a life."

Peep the clips below:

These videos clearly didn’t do him any good in a court of law since he had to prove K’s abuse allegations were false, he had to prove he’s more of a private figure than a “public” figure and he had to prove that VH1 aired the allegations knowing they were false claims.

According to the AJC, he also had to prove the allegations were “injurious to his reputation and was published with a degree of fault at least amounting to negligence.” Welp…he clearly left doubt in the judge’s mind, so he ruled against him, giving K and VH1 the victory in the case.

And there’s more….

Following the ruling in his case, he also posted an Instagram post that had us raising our eyebrows and scratching our heads. In so many words, MempHitz believes there are three things that destroy a black man of a certain status, and apparently, black women are one of them!

He posted the photo above (and then deleted) with the caption,

“Keep walking around unaware of that & You'll feel me soon enough. Good thing I Got God. Because some of you fools is foofooAf. ShoutOut to the Real. & The Great Thinkers. Keep making the World Go Round.#TheRealWillReadThis inARealWay”

He then tried to save face with a follow-up post saying:
 

Sighs....THIS guy.

The latest chapter in the Nicki Minaj& Meek Mill saga of implications to keep folks talking....Nicki flashed and/or talked about a new diamond ring in the last 24 hours on three separate occasions.  And the last time has folks thinking she and Meek are now engaged.  Deets inside...

Tuesday night, 32-year-old Nicki posted a pic (above) chillin' with 27-year-old rumored rapper boyfriend (a relationship the two keep talking about without actually talking about) Meek Mill in Miami.  We peeped a diamond ring on that wedding ring finger, but chalked it up to Nicki just wearing her jewelry for the evening on that hand.

On Wednesday, the "Truffle Butter" rapper posted a cryptic message saying:

Then yesterday she posted:

And that she did.  Nicki posted this whopper of a ring later Wednesday:

It definitely seems like an engagement ring...and Nicki's definitely acting all coy about it even though we all know she loves and creates the attention around this.

E! News claimed their own source confirmed that the two, who have been dating for a little over 2 months, are indeed engaged:

"Both Meek and Nicki have been spending amazing quality time together lately and have gotten extremely close these past few months," the insider shared. "It may seem like it all is happening very quickly but Nicki and Meek are in this 100. They truly love each other."

"Nicki and Meek have discussed family and children," the insider shared. "They are both on board as soon as they get married."

Mmhmm.  Supposedly, Nicki's rep wasn't available for comment.

Well, if they are engaged, it's quite the convenient timing.  And conveniently perfect promo for current projects.  Nicki just wrapped the European leg of her The PinkPrint tour.  And she begins the US leg...with Meek Mill as her tour partner...this summer. 

When it comes to promo, whatever's in the budget chile....

Oh, and seemingly in response to the internet commenters saying Nicki probably bought the ring herself, Meek posted this:

Bloop.

TIME magazine just unveiled their 100 Most Influential People.   And Kanye West & Misty Copeland both landed covers.  Also, Gabrielle Union is beautiful.  We've always known it, but People magazine has now co-signed.  Deets inside...

Well...what will Kanye have to complain about now? He seemingly has the approval and respect from mainstream he begged ranted so much for.The "New Slaves" rapper landed one of the five TIME 100 Most Influential People covers.

TIME put Kanye in the "Titans" category (his wife Kim Kardashian is also on the Titans list) and says he's a boundary breaker who thinks constantly.  And wants everyone else to think about him too.  And about changing social standards.  We do agree with that.  Whether it's selfish or selfless is the question of the century.

Writer Elon Musk says:

Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is role models: we rap, we don’t think.” But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.

Also named a Titan -- Mellody Hobson and Lee Daniels (with blurb written by Oprah).

Meanwhile, ballerina Misty Copeland is showing off her prowess for another cover: 

She landed as the leader in the Pioneer category.  She's the first black woman to nab the lead in Swan Lake, and she continues to break down barriers in the American Ballet Theater.  Between her on stage perfection and her philanthropy off stage, she's indeed one of our fave YBF chicks.

In her blurb written by 5-time Olympian Nadia Comaneci:

Like all gymnasts, I’ve done some ballet—it’s a part of our program. And people don’t realize the tremendous amount of time and work you have to put in to do the maneuvers they do. Ballerinas like Misty Copeland look so beautiful and perfect, but it takes thousands of hours of hard work to make it look that easy.

It was an honor to learn that a movie about me inspired a 7-year-old Misty to see the joy in movement. When I competed in the 1976 Olympics, no one thought that a 14-year-old from a place people couldn’t find on a map could contend. Misty proves that success is not about how you grow up or the color of your skin. Her story—of overcoming personal and physical challenges to become a soloist at the American Ballet Theatre—is the story of someone who followed her dreams and refused to give up. In that way, she is a model for all young girls.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from. If you have the passion like Misty, you can be the best at what you do.

Others in the Pioneers category: Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson (with blurb written by Serena Williams), Teach for America's Exec. Director in New Orleans Kira Orange Jones,

Landing recognition in the Artists category: Kevin Hart (blurb written by Chris Rock), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Audra McDonald (blurb written by Carrie Underwood).  President Barack Obama is named in the leaders category.  Dr. Jerry Brown is honored in the Icons category (with blurb written by Idris Elba).

People magazine is revealing their Most Beautiful People list throughout the week.  And "Being Mary Jane" star Gabby Union was just named as one of the Beautiful ones.

Who do you think will grab the top honor this year?

If you haven’t heard, Bow Wow (aka Shad Moss) and his fiancée live in the basement of his mother’s mansion in Atlanta. Why? Well, he believes it makes sense and he wants to be close by to make sure his mother is comfortable at all times. Deets inside…..

You would think by the time you reach 28-years-old, one would be ready to hightail it out of their parents’ home, especially if you’re engaged to be married AND star on a huge CBS television series. But, that’s not the case for rapper-turned-actor Bow Wow, who now likes to go by his real name, Shad Moss.

The “CSI: Cyber” star recently revealed that he still lives with his mother Teresa Caldwell. In fact, he AND his fiancée, “Love & Hip Hop NY” star Erica Mena, live with his mother...in the basement! Yep, he moved home girl to the basement.

But, there’s a method to his housing arrangements.

The 28-year-old star says “it just makes sense” to live in the 8-bedroom Atlanta mansion because it’s huge and it’s more than enough room for the three of them. He told PEOPLE, “First of all the house is too big, but I want to make sure my mom is comfortable forever.”

Apparently, the mansion is so big the basement is more like a condo. And if he decides to throw wild parties down there, his mother can still be home, and not hear a thing.

“It’s like I have a condo downstairs. I’ve had 100 people there and my mom has been asleep and has never heard the music, screaming, laughter, or drinking. I mean full blown house parties downstairs while she is in the bed asleep. So I’m staying right here.”

Hmph.

And although they say three is a crowd, it appears to work for Shad and his family. He says often times they’ll go days without seeing his mom because that’s how spacious the mansion is. He spilled,

“There’s times where I’ll be down there for three days and we don’t see each other so it’s like I’m out of town even when I’m here,” he says adding one perk of being so close to mom: “I don’t have to get in the car and drive anywhere to see her. I just come up the stairs and say, “What up, Mom.’ ”

So where exactly did Bow Wow come up with this housing situation? It appears, his mentor/producer Jermaine Dupri put him on to the idea.

“I remember when I first moved to Atlanta and Jermaine Dupree had the same situation. He took part of the house and his mom had the whole rest of it. I said then that I wanted to have the same set up,” said Shad.  

If it works for them...who are we to judge?  But it IS interesting Shad likes to floss so much on the 'Gram talking about all the money, jewelry and cars he has....

Is Keke Palmer CRUSHING on a married man? That’s what folks were saying after Tia Mowry Hardrict popped off with some subliminal shade about chicks who like married men, seemingly her husband Cory Hardrict in particular. Now, Keke is speaking out saying her words were misconstrued. Find out what she really meant inside….

These Internet streets were buzzing yesterday after Tia Mowry Hardrict fired off a shade-filled subliminal shot at SOMEbody saying it's NOT cute to say you like married men in interviews. We didn’t point any fingers, but some media outlets ran with the notion and assumed Tia was referring to her husband Cory Hardrict’s Brotherly Love co-star Keke Palmer.

While on the promo trail for her new movie, Keke Palmer stopped by “The Wendy Williams Show” this morning, looking fab in a Jonathan Simkhai top and skirt paired with Jimmy Choo sandals, to chat about her new flick.  AND she cleared up those nasty rumors.

[Want KeKe's look?  Cop her exact look from today over at EditedInChic.com!]

Wendy went right in asking Keke what was going on and the busy young lady quickly broke it down. The 21-year old star revealed that during a prior interview in Atlanta, she was talking about how long she has known many of her cast mates in Brotherly Love, including American Sniper star Cory. Keke could hardly get her words out at the beginning because she was laughing so hard. She said, "I’m sorry to be laughing at this but this is very funny to me because it’s all so twisted. Everything got misconstrued."

She explained she has known Cory since she was 10-years-old after he auditioned to play her brother on Akeelah and the Bee. As she was mocking her 10-year-old self crushing on Cory, she remembers saying back then,“I wanted to marry this man.”  But folks took it the wrong way and ran with it.

She said she was simply mocking her thoughts as a 10-year-old and it had nothing to do with liking him now. She ended the discussion saying, " I love Cory. I love Cory...and Tia."

Peep her full interview below:

While we never believed Keke was ever having an affair with Cory, it doesn't mean folks -- us included -- didn't think there could possibly be a crush situation at hand.

And then there's this.  Tia could be in her feelings over how "touchy, feely" the YBF actress is. In an interview with the Huff Post and the Brotherly Love cast during a press stop at Morehouse College, Keke leans in (twice) and rests her head on Cory's shoulder.

Check it below:

Seems harmless, but you know how rumors can get started....

Peep that full interview below:

Alicia was so moved by the energy in the room that she grabbed a mic and sang "Empire State Of Mind" to Ledisi and the song's writer Angela Hunte.

Elsewhere, celebs flocked to a few movie events:

Designer Rachel Roy attended the premiere of The Orchard's 'DIOR & I' at LACMA in Los Angeles rocking this spring-ready red, white and blue striped frock. The film is a documentary on the House of Dior.  Fancy!

Rachel showed up with her daughters Tallulah Ruth (6) and Ava (15).  We've been following the custody battle between Rachel and her ex-husband Dame Dash over the girls and it's been brutal.  Their most recent could battle was gag-worthy because Dame accused his ex of being a thief and a drunk!

But the girls are looking fabulous despite the foolery.  Ava look like a model in the making...

Toddler North West was spotted with the screw face while trekking through a Paris airport with her parents Kanye& Kim West in tow. Peep the tot’s candids inside…

Hey Nori! *waves*

One thing is for sure: North West loves riding on the back of her luggage more than riding around in her stroller. We’ve seen the cutie patootie ride on the back of her "Frozen"suitase through an airport on a few occasions. And it's so adorable to watch her having fun.

Following their eventful vacay in Aermenia& Nori being baptized in Jeruselam then a stop in Paris, the Wests are back to racking up frequent flyer miles as they jet to their next destination.

But, North didn't seem happy with her means of transportation through the airport yesterday. As she and her parents trekked through Roissy airport to hop on a flight out of Paris, Nori was busy serving face while strapped down in her stroller:

Ha! She's here for more fabulous modes of transportatiion than a stroller.  Too cute!
