Day 2 of Coachella popped off with Azealia Banks hitting the stage for her first ever official US performance.  And the number of folks hitting up her tent was bananas. 

Pics & video inside of the Harlem chick bringing crazy energy, plus Usher and his girlfriend Grace Miguel and Rihanna all taking in the performances as well....

Well that's classy Usher.  The "Climax" singer was spotted aboard one of the carnival rides at the A/X Armani Neon Carnival party during Day 2 of the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, Ca.  And he was spotted giving middle finger action to the crowd below. 

His curly haired girlfriend Grace Miguel was also on the mix:

Ursh was there to hit the stage with David Guetta to perform their tracks together:

And over in the

A purple wigged Azealia Banks took over for the rap lovers.

She doesn't have an album out yet, but rap lovers and indie sites are pretty much praising her as the second coming of real rap--without the pop star antics, lyrics and beats.  So that may explain why she had one of the largest crowds to gather so far this weekend.

Billboard said: Playing to a packed house at 3pm, Banks performed to her largest crowd ever, assuaging them with bass-heavy beats and raunchy rhymes.  (Azealia later cleared up the technical difficulties saying her DJ accidentally skipped 2 tracks..so she just went with it.)

The L.A. Times reviewed the show saying:

She was four bars into her single "... up the Fun” when she flexed just how skillful her rhymes were: precise, full of grit and wholly original in a way that can't be learned or rehearsed, despite what a few of the new ladies (er, Kreayshawn) on the scene might think.

Her set conjured up a sweet era of mid-'90s rap when under-appreciated fem-cees like Foxy Brown, Da Brat, Charli Baltimore and Rah Digga along with singular forces like Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah and, yes, even Lil Kim, represented the girl who got down, dirty and raunchy but never dived too deeply into the waters of pop in search of hits.

Word.  Check out her energetic performances of "212," "F*ck Up the Fun," "Firestarter," and 'Barbie Sh*t" below:

Not gonna lie.  I'm starting to like this chick.

Macy Gray also hit the stage:

And Rihanna was spotted taking in the shows as well yesterday with her bestie Melissa:

And speaking of Rih she seems to be enjoying her downtime back home in L.A. as she tweeted pics of her hot (denim) bikini bod  laying out in the sunshine:

Rih is set to return to the "Saturday Night Live" stage for musical guest duties on May 5th.  Giants Superbowl champ Eli Manning is hosting.  And I have a feeling we'll be seeing Rih in a sketch or two again...

Despite the fact Nicki Minaj's sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, dropped at #1 on the rap charts with over 250K units sold, she's still pissy about her fans leaking her music ahead of time.  So pissy that the HBIC (Head Barb In Charge) decided to teach her 11 million+ Barbz & Kenz a little lesson.  And she deleted her Twitter account on Sunday.

Deets inside, plus Kanye's change of a cold heart inside...

Nicki is pissed y'all.  She had a major Barb meltdown Sunday evening as she caught a barrage of flack from her own followers once she started beefing with her largest fansite, Nicki Daily.  Apparently, the fansite leaked some of her already leaked songs on their website right before the release.  Despite the fact several websites also leaked some of her tracks, she seemed to take personal issue with the fan site and the mean "fans" on her timeline.  Y'all know artists are sensitive about their sh*t.

Nicki tweeted this:

And this:

And that’s exactly why I’m paying the barbz DUST right now! And deleting my twitter. Smdh – don’t cry 4 me argentina

On 2nd thought I’ll just follow a new set of barbz. The ones I follow r very mean and ratchet. *side eyes them*

Then poof--her Twitter was (and still is as of Monday, 1AM EST) was gone.  Drama queen movement in full effect...

And that's not all, Nicki Daily snapped back by deleting their own Twitter, then putting up a "CLOSED" sign on their website while the track "Deak Old Nicki" streams.  WOMP.

Meanwhile, the "Beez In The Trap" rapper is being called out by her own family after her recent Nightline interview.  If you missed it, Nicki made some shocking accusations about how her father, Omar, mistreated her mother.  She said during the interview, "I wanted to kill him." 

But Nicki's now upset family says she has highly exaggerated the situation and it's untrue.  And how she felt was news to them.  According to TMZ:

Family sources tell TMZ, Nicki's anecdotes are grossly exaggerated -- Omar admits he had anger issues when she was a child ... but insists it NEVER reached the point Nicki described in her interview.

Sources tell us, Omar never knew Nicki felt this way about him -- and he's absolutely crushed she decided to air her grievances in the media.

We're told her father still loves Nicki very much ... and always has.

We all know Nicki has a very creative imagination...and it wouldn't be the first time she's been called out for speaking untruths.  But would she lie about something so close to her family?  Hmm....

In other self-damage control news, Kanye West issued a press release stating he will change the name of his "Theraflu" track (ft. DJ Khaled) to "Way Too Cold."  If you recall, the company, Theraflu, was none too pleased about Mr. West using their name and likeness in his explicit track.  After the company issued their own press release denouncing 'Ye's song, Kanye said due to "creative differences" he has changed the name.  And the artwork has changed (the Theraflu name is removed):

Oh 'Ye....
 

New parents Beyonce & Jay-Z spent a warm & beautiful Sunday afternoon courtside at the Knicks game, then at one of their fave spots (which Jay has part ownership in) Bar Pitti for some post-game lunch.

Pics of the happy couple...and Beyonce's leopard pants we can't decide if we love...inside....

Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, Jay and wife Beyonce, rocking an interesting animal print look, watched the Knicks get beat by the Miami Heat:

It was a packed game and the twosome looked like they had some fun.  They left out to fans swarming them like crazy as they headed to lunch downtown at Bar Pitti:

Bey kept it casual in leopard print A.L.C. Elson silk-crepe pants and an off-the-shoulder black top, paired with her fave Linda Farrow for The Row circular shades and her fave wide brim fedora by Eugenia Kim.  And topped it all off with her hot pink Christian Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps.
 

Jay helped Mrs. C inside the restaurant once they arrived:

And the twosome headed home looking happy as pie.  Fab times indeed.

Kobe & Vanessa Bryant may have filed for divorce this past December, but they have since been spotted twice together looking like a reconciliation could be on the horizon.  Including sharing a Valentine's Day kiss.

Check out the Bryant's second photographed outing at last night's L.A. Kings hockey game inside...

It could be just for the kids.  Or it could be, in part, to rectify their marriage.  But Kobe & Vanessa having been spotted together on a few occasions post-divorce filing.  And they are looking extra happy these days when spotted together.  Especially Vanessa.

The twosome clapped and laughed while their two daughters, Natalia & Gianna, sat between them at Game 3 of the Kings-Canucks playoff series. Kobe has missed a few of the last Laker games, due to a shin injury, including yesterday afternoon's game against the Mavs.  But it didn't stop him from spending quality time with his fam last night.

Can a divorce filing do wonders to get a marriage back on track?  Hmmm....

Monica celebrated her brand new album New Life this past Friday night at Reign nightclub in Atlanta.  Pics of the pretty gal partying with her celeb friends like T.I., J.D., Jeezy and more inside...

Monica Brown--flying solo--made a fab entrance at her album release party in dark denim bootcut jeans and her silver metallic Louboutin sandals.  Great hair for the occasion too:

She hit the stage with her homies Young Jeezy & Polow Da Don.

Her brother Montez and another one of her brothers were also there to celebrate.

The 31-year old "It All Belongs To Me" singer looked pretty as usual as she snapped pics for fans.

T.I. showed up at the end of the party to show some love.

Akon's brother Bu popped up to party in his Audi.

Mo's long time friends Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox were there to congratulate their girl.

Loves it.  New Life is in stores now.  By the way, Mo tweeted that she spent the following night chatting up her sweetheart (hubby Shannon Brown) all night while eating sweets like candy apples.  How sweet!

Last night, viewers witnessed some of the nastiest verbal attacks in reality tv history as the stars of "RHOA" kicked off their season 4 reunion last night.  Get the deets inside......

Bravo's Andy Cohen played referee and ringmaster last night as the stars of "RHOA" attacked each other verbally about their antics this season.  Here are the highlights:

1. NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield argued about NeNe's "I'm very rich bitch" statement that became this year's catch phrase.  Sheree brought up that NeNe couldn't have made that much tv money since Piers Morgan also was on "Celebrity Apprentice" (like NeNe) and he got $25K and won.  So During their verbal bout, NeNe asked Sheree "What's your status at the bank."
2. In what many people considered a low blow, Sheree brought up NeNe's son Bryce and his Walmart shoplifting incident.  NeNe (finger pointing) warned, "Don't go there with the kids."
3. Sheree Whitfield "cried" about her ongoing child support battle with her children's father and when she tried to explain why Chateau Sheree still hasn't broken ground, you could hear Andy laughing at her!
4. NeNe said Sheree's home will probably never be built and NeNe named it "Neverland" until it is.  Sidenote: THAT is funny.
5. Kandi Burruss revealed she is dating one of the "RHOA" production managers named Todd.  She also said they are moving in together.
6. During talk of Kandi's sex toy line, NeNe said she wasn't cool with it and "doesn't want a dildo inside her."

Rihanna knows how to have a blast on stage.  The 24-year-old "We Found Love" singer took over Day 3 of Coachella Music festival yesterday in Cali while performing with DJ Calvin Harris--and wilin' out with her bestie Katy Perry.

Pics inside...

Ri Ri returned to the Coachella grounds in Indio last night, and this time it was to hit the stage at the Empire Polo Club.  Rocking her fave uber short studded cutoffs by The Ragged Priest, a cropped PEACE tank from Topshop, her BOY London cap and leopard Adidas sneakers, Rih put her red lipstick and red talons on a super sexy display.

She spotted her best friend Katy Perry in the audience--who was also on Coachella's Friday line-up--and went crazy with her in the audience.  Right before Katy decided to stage dive into the huge crowd while Ri performed.

The free spirited singer tweeted DJ Calvin Harris:

“This turned out to be one of the best nights of my life....I had so much fun with your fucking fanz tonight! Diz hoodrat $kabii @katyperry also crowd surft n ATE my A$$ during my show.”

Ri hopped off the stage during her set to snap pics with fans.

Afterwards, Rihanna was spotted in her Chanel jacket taking in the Snoop & Dr. Dre performance at 10:30p.  And, of course, she had THUG LIFE written on her stomach in honor of the duo's digital salute to Tupac Shakur:

Weed in tow as usual.  Somebody is Feeling.It.  Video of her chillin' in the audience:

Ri is set to return to this year’s Rock In Rio Madrid in Spain.  She will be the last artist to perform at Escenario Mundo on July 5.

Fun times.

*UPDATED* Where do we start with the latest foolywangery of NFL baller Antonio Cromartie?  For starters...the New York Jet baller just welcomed his 10th child, Jagger, recently.  Yes....10th.  This is his and his (second) wife's second child.  Deets inside on the reality show all eight of his baby mamas want to nab, plus what they say about how he's taking care of his umpteen kids....

Remember Terricka Cason (pictured above) from that E! reality show "Candy Girls" about video chicks/groupies?  She was a single mother at the time, but has since "gotten her come-up" and has become the wife of the multi-state woman fertilizer Antonio Cromartie.  They now have 2 kids together (in addition to Terricka's oldest), a daughter named Jurzie (sigh) & their new son Jagger.

28-year-old Antonio now has 10 kids total (including four 3-year-olds) with 8 women in 6 different states: California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey.  Christmas with all the half-siblings is going to get real interesting.

Before we continue, yes, this is the same Antonio who had mad difficulty remembering all his kids' names (even forgot one) in an HBO Sports special back in 2010:

He later claimed the producers of the show made him "deliberately pause" in between each child as he listed the names.  Anywho...

Antonio just signed a new $35 million contract with the Jets, and reportedly pays each of his baby mamas $3500 a month, except for one.  And his oldest chid is only 7.

Apparently that $58,000+ yearly child support aint cuttin' it for these chicks, because most (if not all) have stated they are interested in shooting a reality show about their "modern family."  Why?  Because they believe we all need to know they are not catty and actually do get along and they have strong friendships where they help each other through hardships of the situation.  What is this...a "Sister Wives" spinoff to include baby mamas or some ish?

The NY Post reports:

The single women can use the extra money to help raise their kids, but they also think it’s important “to document their journey,” the source said. “They want Antonio’s support.”

His fifth baby mama, an L.A. hotel employee named Ryan Ross, has his 4-year-old son Tyler Jae and said:

“We’re not catty women. We have a close, tight-knit friendship and understand what each other’s going through. We reach out to share news about the kids, to talk, to vent,” she said.

As for Cromartie, she said, “We co-exist for the sake of my son.”

Many of the baby mamas run into each other at Anotnio's house when they bring their kids over for daddy visits.  But not all think he's a supberb daddy, especially not his first baby mama Rosemita.

“He’s supposedly a role model, but he’s not doing what he should be doing as a father, or as a man,” said mom Rosemita Pierre, of Tallahassee, Fla.

Cromartie defies a court order that allows her to speak with her son three times a week, she charged.

“They don’t answer the phone,” said Pierre, who’s called the cops in Randolph, NJ, to knock on Cromartie’s door. “It’s a hurtful situation — like he’s trying to erase me.”

Well...

By the way, Antonio almost married another one of his baby mamas, a corporate lawyer named Rhonda Patterson who is based in L.A., but he called it off a week before the nuptials.  Likely because he had gotten a few other chicks pregnant at the same time Patterson was.

Here's to hoping this foolery doesn't find its way to TV.  And congrats to the couple on their second child together.

*UPDATE* Terricka tweeted today that she and Antonio have been married for 4 years and their son, Jagger, is almost 1 now.  She also says that she is Antonio's first and only wife, disputing the NY Post report that this is his second marriage.

BONUS: A few of the baby mamas:

Coachella Day 3 wrapped up with Snoop and all his friends hitting the stage...with an eerily realistic hologram of Tupac Shakur performing as well.  And yes, his mom approved.

Pics and video inside, plus a sneak peak at Mr. Nas' upcoming VH1 "Behind the Music"...

Hologram creator Nick Smith recently dished on bringing the iconic rapper back to life for yesterday's Snoop & Dr. Dre set. The Tupac image, which was all Dr. Dre's idea, was created in the very realistic likeness of the late rapper as he perormed his tracks "Hail Mary" and "2 of Americaz Most Wanted."

Smith wasn't allowed to discuss all the details of the creation of the Hologram (the image and movements were an original creation --not parts of an old concert), but MTV reports:

Smith said he wasn't allowed to talk about the creative aspects of the production — including how the hologram was able to seemingly perform the set in synch with Snoop and whether all the vocals were 'Pac's — but he did say that his company has the ability to recreate long-dead figures and visually recreate them in the studio. "You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it," he said.

The shirtless Timbaland-wearing Tupac hologram (which cost anywhere from 100K-400K) opened up alongside Snoop & Dre (who have been working together for 2 decades now) saying "What's Up Coachella?!"

Tupac's mom, Afeni Shakur, told media she was "thrilled" by the hologram performance.  She said it was amazing to see, but bittersweet as well.

Nate Dogg was orignally scheduled to perform in Hologram form as well, but the idea was scrapped last minute and replaced with a video tribute.

50 Cent also hit the stage with Snoop.

They rocked out with “What Up Gangsta” with Tony Yayo by his side, swaggering into and “P.I.M.P.” with Snoop, and closed with “In Da Club.”

And, of course, Wiz Khalifa hit the stage with Uncle Snoop to perform a couple tracks and share some weed.

Here's video of Tupac and Snoop performing together:

Eminem hit the stage as well with his longtime collaborator Dr. Dre.

And if you're a fan of The Weeknd, the crooner hit the stage for his own hour long set--including his track with Drake called "Crew Luv":

In other rap news, Nas is about to premiere his VH1 "Behind The Music" episode on  Wednesday at 9p EST . Check out the sneak peek below:

Esco dishes on his Queens background, his parents, dealing drugs, and his careless behavior.  His album Life Is Good is set to release soon on a yet-to-be unveiled date.

Trina Braxton is a free woman (almost) and making the most of her new single status by nabbing a Ken-like cutie for her new video for her single "Party Or Go Home."

We've got the first look at the pretty reality star's new video inside...

Trina tapped photgrapher Derek Blanks to shoot her new music video yesterday in Atlanta at Tim Barrett Designs.  And she made sure to make an interesting choice for her leading male.  The dark blonde modelesque guy was Trina's steamy partner in her handcuffs and jail cell scene.  Not surprised by that one:

Chick loves her dramatic makeup doesn't she?  She rocked neon extra sharp nails and short cutoffs and a plaid button down for her colorful look.

Trina posed it up with the production crew, and even had her sisters Towanda & Traci on hand for moral support.

Not mad.  Gabe who?

Tyrese Gibson was spotted chatting up a blonde from his SUV as he was spotted leaving Simply Jess' birthday party at Cameo Nightclub in Miami last night.

Check the pics inside of what looks like mackin' in action....

After a long night of partying, the 'Fast Five' actor and R&B singer was spotted discreetly talking to a party goer outside of Cameo last night.  And it seems he didn't want the convo to end there as his homie brought her over to Black Ty's awaiting SUV as he was leaving.   And the sexy Ty stopped his car to chat it up:

Looks like she was either offering up a handshake...or her number.  Either one.

Wonder how that worked out for him....

Tyrese is rumored to be in pre-production of a Fast & The Furious 6 movie as he reprises his role as Roman Pearce.  The usual cast is reportedly set to return and filming may start as early as this May.  Can't wait!

Jaden Smith has released a new track. Listen to "Flame (Just Cuz)" inside....

Jaden Smith, the talented son of Jada (who posted this song on her Facebook page today) and Will Smith has dropped a new track called "Flame (Just Cuz)."

Maybe the song will appear on the After Earth soundtrack (the movie he's shooting with his Dad)?

In other music news:

Rihanna has released visual sneak peek for her new "Where Have You Been" video. The black and white still image portrays her as a majestic creature in a knit bikini top and metallic skirt.

The dance track, which is her newest single off her Talk That Talk album, is produced by Dr. Luke and Calvin Harris.

And while Rihanna is always featured on the cover of fashion magazines, the chick who started it all, singer Jody Watley, recently spoke out about that. In an article with EBONY.com, Jody said,

"When I see Rihanna and the younger girls now, I feel proud. Because whether they know it or not, that was a door that I helped to open. No Black women were in fashion magazines. And the first time I did Harper’s Bazaar, the label didn’t want to send me to New York to do it because they didn’t see what being in a fashion magazine had to do with selling records. I flew myself to New York to do Harper’s Bazaar the first time I did it. Because I knew."

Singer Kevin McCall just dropped his brand new single via RCA Records called "Naked" ft. Big Sean.  The Watts native is also signed to Chris Brown's CBE label and appeared on Breezy's "Deuces" and "Strip" tracks.

Decide if we love the 26-year-old cutie's sound inside...

On an upbeat track, Kevin McCall sings about getting down with his female of choice, and Big Sean raps a couple verses as well.  The song is Kevin's first official single off his upcoming debut studio album.  And it reportedly already has a video shot for it and it's directed by Chris Brown.

Taraji P. Henson was spotted leaving the Sirius/XM offices in Manhattan after her interviews with "Sway In The Morning" and Wendy Williams today.

Check out what she says about her teen son who is headed off to college soon, plus if co-star Michael Ealy is a good kisser, inside...

In a sleeveless floral watercolor dress to brave the NYC heatwave, Taraji made her way around the city to do tons of promo for her brand new Think Like A Man film.

She kicked things off with Gayle King this morning on CBS' "This Morning," then hit up the live Wendy Williams show, headed to Shade 45 to kick it with Sway & Devi Dev and headed to NBC's "New York Live" this afternoon.

The 41-year-old YBF chick stopped to snap a few pics with fans. 

She revealed on "Wendy" today that her teen son, Marcel--who she says looks identical to his father--is headed to college next year.  And he'll likely be headed to NYC for school.  She revealed she became pregnant with Marcel while she was in her junior year of college after knowing her then-boyfriend for 8 years. She still graduated (from Howard University) and Marcel's father is now deceased.

On whether or not she spoils Marcel, she says she definitely makes him earn his perks.  She did cop him a Honda Civic hybrid recently though.  And if you want to know if her so-star Michael Ealy is a good kisser--she says he indeed is.  No surprise there.

Taraji also revealed she almost missed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button audition because she was hosting a garage sale.  Her agent told her to drop everything and had to make her go.  She found out she got the role the following day.

Check out video below of Taraji giving her opinion of the Trayvon Martin case on CBS "This Morning" below:

Think Like A Man opens this Friday, 4/20.

After losing a basketball bet, hitmaker The Dream had to give himself a blonde makeover. Check out what Mr. Nash is flaunting inside...

It's a blonde beard and 'stache for Terius Nash.  No...he's not gearing up for an attention craving cosmetic new look much like his ex-wife Christina Milian did with that platinum bleached blonde look a while back.  He went blonde all because of a bet.  His home team the Hawks lost to the Raptors on Sunday.  So this was the result.  Dream tweeted yesterday:

Losing a bet is as wack as this blonde beard. Thanks Atlanta Hawks

He also tweeted he's now looking for black dye.  Good.  Because dude looks every bit like a Honey flavored Teddy Graham right about now.

And apparently he's real confident in his hair maintenance skills now as he tweeted his other ex-wife, Nivea, about how he just did their daughter's hair himself:

@thisisNIVEA. Just got finish [Washing], conditionong, platting, and flat ironong your daughters Hair. Damn I'm so Dope! Lol

Oh...

Dream is gearing up to drop his upcoming album, The Love; IV (Diary of A Madman) soon.

Uncle Jay & Auntie Bey brought nephew Julez to the Nets vs. Heat game last night.  Pics inside of the trio (plus Julez's dad Daniel, Sr.) laughing it up courtside...

In a multi-colored silk crepe Thakoon dress and black mesh, studded Louboutin Bourriche booties & fave Linda Farrow/The Row shades, Beyonce helped her hubby cheer on his Nets, despite them losing to the Miami Heat.  But something good did come of it.  Before LeBron James walked off the court, he took off his sweaty sneakers and put them in Julez's lap.  Sweet!

Yeah Julez...we're trying to figure out why your auntie is rocking a hair net over that bun as well.  Beyonce kept it lady like covering her mini dress-baring legs with a shirt.

Looking fab and happy.  Before she headed to Newark's Prudential Center to catch this game, Mama Bey was spotted taking baby Blue for a walk in Central Park to enjoy the unusual summer-like day.  Cute!

"Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman COVERS the latest issue of "Love & Hip Hop" star Yandy Smith's "Everything Girls Love" magazine. Tami reveals her thoughts about the future of reality tv, her bad financial decisions, and the abuse she suffered growing up.  Deets inside.....

In the latest issue of "Everything Girls Love" magazine, "BBW" star Tami Roman dished on some bad financial decisions she made early on and being abused as a child.   It was a very revealing chat for the actress who turns 41-years-old today. Here are the highlights of the interview done by Yandy herself:

On bad financial decisions:

"I picked up my family and moved to NJ because I was going to do a show with BET and VH1 called "Wifey."  The contract fell through and the show did not air.  So, the fact that I was living near NY and there's really no industry there, my family and I fell on hardship.  I'm a hustler, so I am never going to count myself out.  I went out and got a job in corporate America working for a very large financial firm and I was doing well for myself."

On revealing that she was being sexually abused:

"This season I wanted to know what can Tami personally bring and what can people identify with and possibly learn from.  I felt like there are so many women who have gone through something similar and not been able to express themselves.  I've gotten so many responses and mails about it."

LaLa Anthony made her way to Madison Square Garden Sunday to cheer on her hubby Carmelo as the Knicks took on the Heat.  And she ran into VOGUE editor Anna Wintour while entering.

Pics inside, plus La's friend & cousin Po & Dice dishing on their lesbian relationships on The Breakfast Club...

In the neon yellow version of the Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps (Beyonce wore the hot pink version to the same game), LaLa Anthony was spotted entering MSG and spending the afternoon cheering on her hubby.  She rocked grey cropped pants and a matching neon yellow sheer shirt with a black blazer for the occasion.  I'm sure Ms. Wintour was thinking lots of things in her head about this outfit....

And yesterday, hot pink shades wearing La & her son Kiyan were spotted out and about running errands as they left their Tribeca apartment.  How cute is he!

Meanwhile, "LaLa's Full Court Life" co-star Po was spotted out and about in NYC yesterday afternoon running errands with a friend:

She has a cute style that fits her.

LaLa's "Full Court Life" co-stars, cousin Dice & good friend Po, hit up The Breakfast Club on Power 105 this morning.  And the two ladies revealed why they decided to be so open about their sexuality and being lesbians.  Mainly because they know it is such a taboo thing in our communities and many young girls and boys have thanked them for being examples of how to come out to their own circles and handle bullying.

Dice kept it funny talking about how she's willing to try anything...and knows how to run game and tell women what they want to hear.

Po, who lives in L.A. and is working on her music career, revealed she is keeping her privates closed and is sticking to masturbation as of now (while Dice said she definitely get more chicks being on the show.)  And she broke up with her girlfriend a while ago.

And if you're wondering, the two are not "gold star lesbians," as DJ Envy named them.  They have had sex with men before.  And didn't deal with girls until college and later.  Po reiterated she always knew who she was and never thought being gay was "wrong."

Check out the full interview below:
