She and Nick were taking the twins, who turn 1 at the end of this month, to visit Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys.  Playdate with Baby Egypt?  We hope so!

Hey Moroccan!  Precious!

Former NFL star Tiki Barber has had to postpone his wedding while he finalizes his divorce from his first wife Ginny. Get the deets inside and find out what Halle Berry said about marrying again.

It looks like Tiki Barber and twenty something fiance Traci Lynn Johnson won't make it down the aisle on May 12 as planned because Tiki will still be married to former ex-wife Ginny Cha!  (That's what his cheatin' ass gets...)

Though they planned to wed at the home of Eugene Remm, the owner of several New York clubs, in the upscale Sag Harbor, New York, the dragging on of the divorce (and fight over child support) has pushed the wedding back to the summer. 

Ginny asked for $150,000/month (that's not a typo) in child support, but she won't likely get anywhere near that number as Tiki is still unemployed and is not exactly rolling in the dough.  Sigh.....

Not sure why Traci is rushing down the aisle with a man who left his pregnant wife....but good luck with that.

And in other wedding news....

Halle Berry once swore off marriage.....until she met Olivier Martinez!

During a recent interview with Extra!, she talked about the nuptials saying, I swore it off, right? Never say never, people.’

This will be Halle's third marriage and she and Olivier have been dating for three years.  Can't deny love!

Watch Halle talk about the decision to get married below:

Rihanna has opened up her own personal vault of vacay pics from her recent trip to Hawaii.  She took a month long vacay and spent much of it on the islands....and the pics are her usual racy, fun and eye-grabbing ish.

Check out our fave pics from the stash inside...

When the 24-year-old pop star finally indulged in a month long vacay back in January after a grueling world tour (and party) schedule, she let out all that pent up cabin-fever energy in the way only Ri Ri can. 

She hit up Hawaii for over a week and let her hair...and her top...down.  From water boarding & swimming to greasing up her bod while sun bathing to swimming topless under waterfalls and some serious drinks, looks like it was a vacay from heaven.  The "Cake" singer posted 169 personal vacay pics on her Facebook page...and we've picked out fave few.  Topless, wild, fun & free...with a killer bod to boot:

Despite still not making a comeback to the Twitterverse, lots of fans mobbed Nicki Minaj as she arrived at Heathrow airport in London today. See pics of her candids inside....

Nicki looked unimpressed by the mobs of fans who showed up to support her London arrival today.  After deleting her Twitter account this past Sunday, presumably to teach her fans a lesson about them being "mean," she made her first public emergence and seemed only semi-happy about it. 

Who rocks a big huge neon pink fur and starry leggings and snow boots...in spring...and seems sad about attention?

We all know that Nicki (who's launching a fragrance) blew up on the mixtape circuit in New York, and now the man behind the DVDs that got her discovered, Big Fendi, says she "deleted" him (and everybody else who helped her come up) from her life.  So he's not suprised about her deleting her Twitter and 11 million fans.

Big Fendi is the man who put out the COME UP DVD series which helped get Nicki noticed by Cash Money.  But he says after she blew up, she never ever said thank you and pretty much cut him off.  He says she deleted him like her Twitter account!

"What you expect man? Nicki's good at deleting. She deleted me, she deleted Debbie [Antney], she deleted Puffy and she deleted Twitter with all her fans," Fendi said. "Twitter is the new marketing tool for a lot of situations. Your fans on Twitter, they really f*ck with you. 11 million fans and she left everybody hanging? That's Nicki Minaj for you."

Ouch.....

Derrick Rose is 23-years-old, mature (despite the fact he recently got caught up in an alleged groupie/baby mama scandal), sexy & extremely talented.  The Chicago Bulls star has taken on the task of filling Chi-Town's Michael Jordan void...something he says he has no issue with attempting. 

Now, Mr. Rose is covering the May 2012 issue of GQ magazine, and revealing all from avoiding LeBron's mistakes to hating his celebrity status....

The Chicago native, who signed a $95 million contract, poses on the GQ men's magazine cover in a sleek sheen suit and tee while holding one of his most prized possessions.

Reigning league MVP Derrick Rose, who has a homes in the Trump building in Chicago as well as in the Northbrook area (closer to the Bulls training facility) and a HUGE $250 mill 14-year Adidas deal, helped the Bulls become one of the best teams in the NBA last season and this season....so it's only right we get to know the man who's causing chicks who allege to be his girlfriend to create scandals to have his baby.

Here's a few highlights from D. Rose's cover story:

On being compared to Michael Jordan: “…His titles drive me. What’s wrong with getting close to the best person that ever played the game? I’m not scared of him; if anything, it makes me work harder when I do train.”

On the attention he receives for his playing: “The more you win, the more they come. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t take anything for granted. But it seems like the better I play, the more attention I get. And I can’t get away from it. You play great, you get attention. But I hate attention. It is weird. I’m in a bind.”

On LeBron’s infamous on-air decision to go to the Heat: “I won’t ever put myself in a bad position so that people can say bad things about me. I make smart decisions... I’m very mature for 23 years old, and I know that whatever I do can hurt someone.”

On the people of Chicago treating him like a star: “Chicago isn’t used to stardom. …They don’t know how to act toward celebrity. So I always have someone with me. I can have a hat on, glasses on, whatever. People still notice me. If I go outside without a hat on, I feel like I’m naked. This life doesn’t fit my personality.”

On feeling like a recluse: “It gets on my nerves that I can’t just go out. It’s just boundaries now, people are like, ‘You can’t go here, you can’t go there, you got to let that person know where you’re going.’ It’s just weird. I’m never alone. Ever.”

On Obama being a fan of his: “I remember when he wasn’t our president, when I was a kid, when he’d just be walking down the street, a state senator. He was just always there. I didn’t appreciate it then. I was in high school and just wanted to see rappers.”

Check out more pics and the full cover story now over at GQ.  And pick up the issue on newsstands April 24th.

Roc Nation artist Rita Ora just premiered the video for her debut U.S. single, “How We Do (Party).” Check it out inside, plus updates on Maxwell's new tour, Trey Songz's "Storage Wars" lawsuit and Mystikal getting ordered back to jail...

Shot in Los Angeles and directed by Marc Klasfeld, British blonde Pop-N-B chick Rita Ora's new How We Do (Party)” vid features her "partying & bullsh*tting" with her friends.  Check it out above. 

And if you're seeing nothing but Rihanna when you look at Rita, that may be because her boss Jay-Z told her he'd like to recreate Ri's success via Rita's career.

Meanwhile, there's bad news for the Cash Money Young Money crew.  Their new signee, Mystikal, was just ordered back to jail for 3 months after violating his 5-year probation by getting arrested this past February for domestic abuse battery.  Mystikal, government name Michael Tyler, was freed from jail in 2010 after serving a 6 year sentence for sexual battery and distortion.  And he's set to return May 14th.

The Washington Post reports:

On Monday, state District Judge Tony Marabella added the extra time as a condition of the 41-year-old Tyler’s five-year probation in the extortion case because he was arrested in February on a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse battery.

Tyler’s attorney says Marabella ordered Tyler to spend another 90 days in jail but is giving him credit for the nine days he was detained after his arrest.

Damn homie....

And on another note, Maxwell just announced he will return to the stage with a 6-city tour.  He will be performing his full albums for his fans.

The six arena dates will see two-night stands in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Newark.

The first night in each city, Maxwell will perform his catalogs of Urban Hang Suite (1996) and Embrya (1998), and on the second night of the live show, he will play Now (2001) and BLACKsummers’night (2009).  As well as a few never-before-performed tracks.  Loves it.

The Randomness:

Sparkle actress Tika Sumpter hit the scene yesterday sporting a fun and curly new 'do that screams perfection for the spring & summer.  But does the chick who usually rocks extra long & bone straight locks pull it off?  Come inside and decide if we love it...

YBF chick Tika Sumpter hit the Lionsgate and IM Global Cinema Society screening of "Safe" yesterday at Chelsea Clearview Cinema in New York City.

Along with her teal high-waisted & tied shorts and black & cream floral blouse, Tika debuted a new look.....wild & crazy curls.  "The Game" actress is usually seen in much straighter & simpler locks.  But the pretty gal is making a bold move to try something new.

So.........

DO WE LOVE IT?

As we've all learned by now, Twitter is the place where grown ass folks come to air out their stanky panties publicly.  And they usually tap back into their high school personas to do so.

Such is the case with "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed, her NFL boyfriend Dezmon Briscoe, and Dez's ex-girlfriend and baby mama Christina Nero.  And it's all unfolding as we type.  Christina just blasted alleged explicit sext messages that Dez supposedly sent to her within the last month.  And seeing that Dez has been with Royce for several months, ish just got real....

Tampa Bay Buccaneer wide receiver Dez Briscoe is like that dude in high school who had all the chicks fighting over him and said chicks didn't care how thirsty they looked while doing so.

Dez's baby mama, Christina (pictured above with their son Dez Briscoe, Jr.), kicked off a twitter war with Dez's current reality star girlfriend last night.  Christina tweeted that she's holding on to some explicit texts that show Dez is indeed cheating on Royce.  And she made the threat after she "heard" Royce was talking ish about her.  Christina tweeted:

So @Roycelr I was told from one of Your followers your talking shit on here but FYI your so called man been texting me freaky texts

Royce tried to blow it off by calling her crazy and asking "...Hows Jr? Cant wait to meet him! :o) He's getting so big!"

Christina's response, where she also took a shot at Dez deadbeat daddy style:

@Roycelr Lol he is good hun, thanks for asking since your "boyfriend" never does and as for meeting him I wouldn't hold my breath if I was u

Bloop.

And then it gets better.  Today, Christina posted a series of text messages that reveal a contact named Dezmon telling her how he wants to have sex with her again, wants to bend her over and give it to her, and conveniently ignores any questions about Royce:

Royce accused Christina of being a bitter baby mama and concocting text messages.  And having her friends text her these things and changing their name in her phone to Dezmon's.  Why?  Because Royce believes Christina is just mad Dez has moved on.  Especially since Royce said she asked Christina to go ahead and send her the messages the night before, via DM.  but instead she posted them publicly.

So Christina takes it one step further and shows the details of the sender...name with the phone number it came from (which I hope if she's bold enough to post UNEDITED it's the right one):

We're nice enough to edit it out ourselves.

Royce popped back with:

u dummy u changed the date & the number! Look at ur past captures! U c a "green" difference? U doin 2 much! Lmao!  the part n green is changed. It should b black

ok I'm done! I'm just shocked she actually got friends sendin her texts or changing ish! Tht bush crazy!

Playng devil's advocate, I will say certain devices change phone numbers into hyperlinks, so the hyperlink/phone number can become a different color.  But who knows...

And Royce ended the convo in the most predictable way possible.  She posted the above pic and said:

But hey get mad! Last I checked I was the 1 at the games & appearances & on the trips! #justsayin

And also posted her own conversation with "her heart" Dez asking him if he ever cheated with her (maybe she should have defined the word cheat?):

We don't know who's telling the truth here...but Dez wouldn't be the first man to lie and say he didn't cheat.  Royce is real funny to post Christina's number too though.  We edited that ourselves as well.

Chile....

Guess there needed to be another "BBW" storyline...

Solange Knowles may have spent yesterday evening glammed up to honor Robert DeNiro at the Tribeca Ball at the New York Academy of Art in NYC, but kept it casual today back in Tribeca after making a visit to her niece Blue Ivy Carter.

Pics inside...

Free spirited Solange was spotted leaving her big sister Beyonce & brother-in-law Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment today after making a visit to her Blue-ful niece.

She looked laid back and cute in her winged Adidas sneakers, short shorts & a cropped sweatshirt and small Chanel purse before hopping in a friend's black Mercedes G-Wagon:

Later on today Bey & Blue were spotted heading to Solange's place in Brooklyn:

Yellow seemed to be the color of the day for both mom and baby girl.  Is that a scarf on Blue's head?

And they left Solo's place this evening.

And last night at the Tribeca Ball, 25-year-old singer Solange glammed it up with a black printed sheer buttoned up blouse with coral accents, paired with matching high waisted satin pants with black and coral print along the outer legs:

She matched her look with black pointed toe shoes and coral nails. 

And Maybelline model Jessica White also made a dazzling appearance for the Ball:

With loose curls and a shimmering gold floor length gown, Jess paired her look with a simple silver clutch.  Pretty.

Madea is back...and in the government's hands.  Tyler Perry just premiered the first trailer for his upcoming flick Madea's Witness Protection.  Check it under the cut...

Director Tyler Perry assembled a comedic cast, including himself, for his second of his 3 films releasing in 2012--Eugene Levy (seen in clip), Denise Richards, Romeo Miller, Tom Arnold, Marla Gibbs, John Amos and more.

Good Deeds was released this past February, while Alex Cross will premiere this fall.

The film's official synopsis:

Comic legend Eugene Levy (the AMERICAN PIE franchise, BEST IN SHOW) stars in the film as George, a high level CFO at the center of a Ponzi scheme in New York City who is enrolled in the Witness Protection program along with his family in the one place that absolutely no one will think to look for them: Madea's house down South.

Check out the first trailer revealing a tipsy Madea on a plane on her way to the government's witness protection:

Madea's Witness Protection hits theaters June 29th. Will you be hitting the theaters?

Well we'd be cheesin' this hard too if we were worth over a billion dollars combined. FORBES just released the 5 wealthiest hip hop artists.  And the usual suspects are indeed on the list.  While the names are no surprises, their worth may be.

Check out who's in the top 5 inside...

These fellas are well on their way to reaching that elusive billion dollar circle.  Check this rich people ish:

Sean "Diddy" Combs is the king of the list...having an estimated net worth of $550 million.  Now Kim Porter & Cassie's inability to leave him alone makes a least a little more sense.

The Bad Boy head honcho is ca-chinging all over the place with his partnership with Ciroc Vodka.  He gets a double digit salary annually to be the face of the liquor and to push t to the masses.  In addition to several shares of the company.  Not to mention he's entitled to a nine figure sum of money if the Diageo company ever sold Ciroc.

He's got stakes in the Sean John & Enyce clothing companies, his marketing firm Blue Flame, a few tech startups and his own Bad Boy label.  And since he will actually have ownership of his new Revolt tv channel (not just stakes) in 2013, it could possibly push him into the billionaire category in the next few years.

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter has a reported networth of $460 mill.  His stakes: 40/40 Clubs, the ad firm Translation, NJ Nets, Carol's Daughter & more.  His $150 mill 10-year deal with Live Nation (signed in 2007) and $204 mill deal selling his Rocawear label (2004) are part of his net worth, as well as his major tour money.

Dr. Dre is #3 with a $260 mill net worth.  The price on his lifestyle doubled due to the $300 mill sale of his BEATS headphones to HTC.

Birdman takes the $4 spot with $125 mill.  Mainly thanks to his $30 mill deal he twerked with Universal Records for them to house his  Cash Money Records label he and brother Slim founded decades ago. And the new crop of YMCMB folks like Nicki Minaj & Drake, in addition to the original head honcho Lil Wayne, who up the value of the company.  By the way, Universal's deal with Cash Money is up this year--so a high priced bidding war amongst the record labels may ensue.

And capping off the 5 is 50 Cent.  He's got a $110 mill net worth....with $100 mill stemming from that HUGE Vitaminwater deal where the company and his stakes were sold to the Coca-Cola company. He's made some millies from touring and sales from his clothing company, but has also spent a lot on cars, trips, and living that life.  But he's still sitting on the nest egg of his back catalog, acting gigs and 50 Cent-themed videogames, shoes and books, as well as his new headphone line SMS.

FORBES posted this message in regards to how the list was developed:

In order to form the Forbes Five list, we followed the same procedures we use to calculate our list of the world’s billionaires—looking at past earnings, valuing current holdings, leafing through financial documents and talking to analysts, attorneys, managers and other industry players to find the nitty-gritty details. We considered only performers, which is why hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons isn’t on this list.

Congrats to the fellas!

Gorgeous actress Reagan Gomez recently upped her sexy factor or the latest issue of "EDGE" magazine.  See photos of her on the set and see behind the scenes footage of Queen Latifah talking about her Steel Magnolias remake.

31-year old mom of 2, Reagan Gomez will appear in the latest issue of "EDGE" magazine.  Her hubby of 13-years, DeWayne Turrentine, was on the set and snapped the pics himself.  So the YBF chick shared the flicks with her fans on Twitter:

Reagan is starring in Datari Turner's current independent film release, Dysfunctional Friends, where she plays one of 10 characters forced to live in a mansion for a week in order to inherit a small fortune.

The cast includes Stacey Dash, Reagan Gomez, Jason Weaver, Persia White, Tatyana Ali, Hosea Chanchez, Terrell Owens, Stacy Keibler and Christian Keyes.  The film is available on DVD.

And in other movies......

Queen Latifah gave a behind the scenes look into her LIFETIME movie remake of Steel Magnolias.  The film stars Queen Latifah (she's also executive producer) as M'Lynn, Alfre Woodard as Ouiser, Phylicia Rashad as Clairee, Jill Scott as Truvy, Adepero Oduye as Annelle and Rashad’s daughter, Condola Rashad as Shelby.

They could have written a NEW concept....but oh well. One of my fave movie of all time...

Drake and his entourage went partying in London last night but got off to a very rocky start.  Get the deets on the "bouncer beef" inside.....

Last night, Drake and his crew went to party at the Funky Buddha Club in Mayfair and a little tiff broke out with his crew.

His people were seen arguing with bouncers (you can see Drake trying to calm them down--we think).

The "fight" was eventually soothed over and the crew all went inside and partied.

Now y'all know damn well Drake wasn't about to throw nan a blow.  Dude is just focused on keeping the party goin' and sweet talkin' these chicks...

Jennifer Hudson may be an Oscar winner, but she's not too high & mighty to deal with an extra hands-on TSA pat down that other celebs have been known to get vocally offended by.

Check out Jenny booking it through LAX yesterday with cutie David, Jr....and taking her pat0down in stride...

30-year-old actress/singer Jennifer kept her airport look casual and chic in leopard pants and simple black flats with a white cardigan.  The mom of 2 and a half year old David, Jr. flew through the airport like a pro yesterday. David looks so cute in his retro glasses and big cap!

She shrugged off the close TSA pat down and walked through with a smile:

We see you David!

Jenny's likely headed back home to Chicago as the murder trial of William Balfour--the man accused of killing her family--begins Monday at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse.

This ish just gets more trifling.  After Jennifer Williams suffered a big slap to the face--literally--by Evelyn Lozada's good friend/assistant Nia Crooks on a recent episode of "Basketball Wives," Jen kept to her word and filed a lawsuit.

Now she's having a press conference in New York tomorrow to discuss the criminal & civil court filings.  Deets inside...

On a recent episode of "Basketball Wives," Evelyn's assistant and friend, Nia Crooks, offered up a huge slap to Jen's face during a heated argument while the ladies were on a trip to the horse races.  So huge that Jen is filing a few lawsuits against her citing assault and battery.

Lucid Cosmetics owner Jen said previously, after this slap was seen months ago on a super trailer for this season of "Basketball Wives," that she would be taking legal action against Nia R. Crooks.  And based on the press release from her attorneys we just received, she's keeping that promise.

Thursday (4/19) at 11am, at the law office of Rubenstein & Rynecki in Brooklyn, Jen & her civil attorney Sanford Rubenstein Esq will address the civil lawsuit filed in Supreme Court New York County.  Her criminal attorney, Sabrina Puglisi, will address the status of the criminal complaint filed by Jennifer in the state of Florida.

Jennifer's attorney, Sanford Rubenstein, stated about the suit which will be filed both civilly and criminally:

"This civil complaint is being filed by Jennifer Williams to hold Nia Crooks accountable civilly for the assault and battery which took place on the episode of Basketball Wives which aired the evening of April 16th 2012. A criminal complaint filed by Jennifer Williams is presently under investigation by the office of the States Attorney in Florida".

Assault and battery of any kind is wrong and the lawsuits are indeed warranted.  But do we need a whole press conference about the filings though?  I mean, really.

Check out video of the slap heard around the reality tv world from the April 16th episode below (35:00 minute mark):

Rihanna released another black & white still from her upcoming "Where Have You Been" video.  And she's also speaking about how she stays away from drugs (except marijuana of course) and why she'll never end up in rehab.  But her fans are up in arms after a pic she tweeted shows her allegedly doing something with a suspicious white substance...

The above photo is the second flick from the pop singer's upcoming video "Where Have You Been."  Rih posted it on Facebook last night amidst the Instagram drama of this pic she posted from her crazy Coachella weekend:

The pic shows a white powdery substance that some of her 1000+ fans who commented got up in arms about saying it was cocaine.  But due to the size of the substance, and likely the difference in color Instagram pics can cause, it's very likely just some bud.  That she decided to roll on this dude's head.  She's a funny gal...

She also tweeted a pic backstage with Snoop & Warren G after their set...with an extra fat blunt.  And, of course, she showed them her 'Thug Life' stomach marker tribute in salute to their "performance" with Tupac:

Meanwhile, 24-year-old Rihanna told Mondanite magazine that she would never end up on drugs and in rehab, because she thrives off pressure.  And when ish gets too real, she just calls up her bestie Melissa:

"That will never happen to me. I refuse to crack under pressure - in fact I thrive on it. So when I read about Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse who have suffered under it, it's sad. It is easy to criticise them but it happens. You just have to stay focused and keep your feet on the ground."

"Staying down to earth in this industry in general is really not easy, but I am strong and when I feel lost or depressed on the road, I call my best friends Melissa. When I see people turning to drugs and alcohol, then that's when I call Melissa. She helps me get through things."

Hope she keeps that outlook...

Lala Anthony hosted a private screening of her new film “Think Like a Man” with friends and family at New York's Bryant Park Hotel with X-Rated Fusion Liqueur.  And she took some time away from her cocktails to dish to TheYBF.com on her long engagement to hubby Carmelo Anthony, and their parenting skills when it comes to their budding model son, Kiyan....

La hosted last night's pink-themed event in her black Stella McCartney jumper accented with an Asif Zaidi statement necklace, and topped off her look with gold rosette Lanvin wedges.

TheYBF.com chatted with the actress/reality star on the scene about what she learned from appearing in Think Like A Man, and Steve Harvey's book on which the film is based. 

Despite Mr. Harvey advising women not to wait around during those "long engagements," La says otherwise.  Based on her own experience.  And she may receive criticism from blog readers who say she's always out & about instead of parenting her and Carmelo's 5-year-old son.  But the couple is nothing but focused on giving little Kiyan the best life.  Here's our chat:

On the tips LaLa learned from the book: "As a woman to control our emotions- sometimes we act off of emotions and if there's a way to control that I think we should. Women have a tendency to act off of emotions whereas men can set it aside."

On any situations in the book relating to those she has had with husband Carmelo Anthony: "Of course. Melo and I had a long engagement, and that's talked about in the book. But now we are happily married and do things our way. There are a lot of things in the book that I can relate to.  I think everyone could find some pieces of the book that they relate to and can apply it to life."

On her best on-set experience: "Working with new actors and actresses. There were days I didn't have to be on set and I would go just to watch and learn."

On spending time developing Kiyan's modeling future acting possibilities: "We don't pressure Kiyan, whatever he wants to do we support him, to act, to model, to be a basketball player. We just want him to be a kid and enjoy his life as a kid. The Jordan photo shoot was something he wanted to do, and we supported him.  It's the kind of parents that we are!"

More fab pics:

During the screening, guests were treated to sweets from the X-Rated Fusion Liqueur candy bar, popcorn and branded XRFL fans to signal when they were ready for another cocktail, named after the upcoming movie.

LaLa's mom, Carmen Surillo, was there to support as well.

Actor and television personality Terrence J. recently chatted with TheYBF.com where he offered pearls of wisdom about dating and relationships that he's learned along the way and through his new flick Think Like a Man. Get his advice inside....

It's great to be Terrence J.  He hosts one of the top-rated shows on BET, "106 & Park," stars in the hottest movie of the season, Think Like a Man (and does a damn good job too), and dates one of the most desirable women in the modeling world, Selita Ebanks.  So with all his success, especially playing the role of a mama's boy who is learning to cut the cord, he must know a little something about a number of issues...mainly relationships.

The 28-year-old, who's matured oh so nicely right before our eyes, recently dished up his dating advice to TheYBF.com. 

YBF: What should single women focus on if she's interested in attracting the right man?

Terrence J: "The first thing I notice in a woman is her eyes.  I think the eyes are the gateway to the soul.  If they are bright and open it tells a lot about who a woman is.  Likewise, if I'm talking to a woman and she's not looking at me in the eyes, it also says a lot."

YBF: A big issue in the TLAM movie was a man with financial challenges dating a woman with expensive taste.  What's your advice on making that work?

TJ: "The best gifts come from the heart.  And if you are thoughtful, it doesn't matter how much things cost.  If the woman that you are dating likes a particular flower or particular movie and you write a special note from it....those things mean more than expensive shoes.  Nobody will care about those shoes in a year, but when things are romantic....they are more special."

YBF: You're currently dating someone in the same world as you--famous & "in the industry."  What's your advice, as a man dating a famous model, about dating (or trying to date) someone else who is famous and lusted after by many people?

TJ: "I think whenever you are in a relationship with anybody, all of the bells and whistles and the perceptions of outside people go away.  When you are dating somebody and you really get to know them, none of what other people think about them comes into play. Like Kevin Hart said in the movie, "Go with what you know."

"A lot of times when men are pursuing women, we try to be something that we aren't and that's when we mess up the most. Whenever we are being ourselves and we stick to what we know, that's when things work best.  I love movies and I love things that are outdoors. So if I'm dating a woman, those are the things that I am going to do.  And I'm going to talk about the things I know...because that is what's truest to me."
