There's nothing like those cool spring nights in NYC.  Beyoncé and Jay Z were spotted grabbing dinner at a trendy spot in the city.  Meanwhile,our newest fave couple Steph & Ayesha Curry rolled to the San Francisco Giants game.  Pics inside...

The Flawless one was spotted in a colorful button down shirt and jeans as she made her way to dinner at La Esquina in NYC with husband Jay Z last night:

Looking gorgeous as usual.  Jay threw on a black bucket hat to head to dinner as well:

The couple faced some backlash this week after Beyoncé posted a photo of the twosome visiting the TIDAL office in Norway.  The internet backlash was over the fact that almost every person in the "staff picture" was white.

After Jay rapped (at his recent B Sides concert) about blacks not supporting his new business venture, yet vocally supporting iTunes and Spotify, the white washed office didn't sit well with many people.

Oslo itself isn't known to have a large pool of citizens of color.  Also, there's a pretty big chance these staffers were there sice before Jay took the helm.

We'll reserve our judgment for any new offices that are developed -- like in NYC -- and the cultural make up of those staffers.

 

In other couple's news:

NBA MVP Steph Curry may have just won the Western Conference Championship with his Golden State Warriors, but he's also enjoying baseball season.  He and his pregnant wife, Ayseha Curry, received a standing ovation at the San Francisco Giants game last night once the crowd saw them inside AT&T Park.

Jaden Smith escorted actress Amandla Stenberg to her prom and let's just say....his dress got more attention than hers on the internets. Check out the pics inside...

  photo 2936DC9500000578-0-image-a-37_1433032732914.jpg

One of the most talked about escorts during the 2015 prom season is undoubtedly actor Jaden Smith.  Young Jaden already raised eyebrows a fews weeks ago when he escorted singer Mecca Kalani to the prom while dressed as the Caped Crusader in a white Batman costume.  Of course those pics went viral....but he's REALLY outdone himself this time.

Over the weekend, Jaden escorted 16-year-old actress Amandla Stenberg, rocking a bronze dress and braids, to her prom.  Amandla plays "Rue" in The Hunger Games.

While we thought Jaden shut it down as Batman a few weeks ago, he caught attention by rocking a black blazer over a long, black and cream color block over-the-knee shift dress. He topped it off with black skinny pants, sneakers and a white and gold fingerless glove on one hand.

 photo 2936EB2000000578-0-image-a-39_1433032815891.jpg

At least Jaden does coordinate his attire with the lady on his arm.  In fact, Amandla tweeted that he was a "gentleman."  When he isn't accompanying Hollywood starlets to the prom, Jaden is still busy building his resume on the silver screen (e.g. he'll start shooting The Karate Kid 2 soon).  But next up for Jaden is a tv pilot named "Brothers In Atlanta."  We'll let you know if it gets picked up....

While Nicki is currently climbing the charts with "Feelin Myself" featuring Beyonce, in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, Nicki revealed that she's very demanding from her sex partners when she's not feeling it for "herself." Chick said she needs to orgasm!  And she demands it.

 photo NickiMinajiHeartRadioSummerPoolPartyVUbxVea5Y3vl.jpg 

She told the mag,

"I demand that I climax. I think women should demand that. I have a friend who's never had an orgasm in her life. In her life! That hurts my heart. It's cuckoo to me. We always have orgasm interventions where we, like, show her how to do stuff. We'll straddle each other, saying, 'You gotta get on him like that and do it like this.' She says she's a pleaser. I'm a pleaser, but it's fifty-fifty."

Chris' newest rival Tyson Beckford!  We've noticed that Mr. Chippendales doesn't miss out on anything In Las Vegas.  In addition to stripping at Chippendales, he attends ALL the parties.

The Chocolate City stunner flexed his muscles for the photographers....luckily, he didn't have to lay hands on Chris.  Remember their beef from last week?  It seems like both have come to their senses...

 

Meanwhile....at the race track...

If the new super teaser for the next episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" wasn't edited for shock value, Kim Kardashian West is pregnant with her and Kanye West's second child!  Deets inside....

This 2015 Met Ball will now be the second Met Ball where Kim Kardashian made a pregnant arrival, this according to her announcement in the sneak peek of the next episode of "KUWTK".

We all know The Wests have been trying for baby #2 since 5 minutes after North West was born, and Kim has made it known the road to pregnancy the second time around hasn't been an easy one.

She previously said on the show (and in every interview):

"We are trying. We try every single day. You can't try harder than we try," she admitted. "It's getting exhausting. He always says, 'Trying for baby No. 2 isn't as fun as trying to baby No. 1.'"

Well, it looks like her and Ye's prayers have been answered.  Directly after tonight's episode of "Keeping Up," the sneak peek for next week shows Kim going to the doctor for an ultrasound and blood tests.  Once she comes home, she tells sister Khloe the good news that she's pregnant. 

Check it above.

Neither Kim nor Kanye have confirmed on their social media or statement, but their home network E! has run the story.  So it seems the sneak peek is the real deal.

Congrats to the Wests!  North West is about to be a big sister!

EXPOSED! Shantel Jackson Reveals Text Messages From Floyd Mayweather Blackmailing Her & Weak Marriage Proposal

$

 photo shan11.jpg

As Shantel Jackson continues her lawsuit against her ex-fiancé Floyd Mayweather, text message sent from the boxing champ blackmailing her to expose "nasty videos" of her have surfaced. He also proposed to Ms. Jackson…via text. We can’t make this up. Deets inside…

You may recall undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. blasting his ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson on social media for aborting their twins around this time last year. It was so messy.

The whole ordeal was quite shocking and embarrassing for Shantel. So, instead of going back-and-forth with him on social media, she filed alawsuit in Sept. 2014 against the boxing champ for assault, battery, defamation, invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment and more.  Whew.

Now, new court documents have surfaced which paint an interesting picture of what went down right before he put all of their business on front street. Back in April 2014, Floyd fired off a few text messages to Shantel threatening to expose her if she didn’t take down the picture of her and Nelly on her Instagram. In the legal docs, Shantel said, "[Floyd] threatened that if I didn't take down the photo of me and Nelly, he would post 'naked photos' of me on social media."

Floyd sent her a screenshot of the pic and said,"Just tell me this didn't mean anything."

Yikes! And this wasn't the first time he threatened to put her BLAST (again).

In text messages dating back to April 2013 (obtained by TMZ Sports), Floyd threatens to release “nasty videos” of her on social media, brags about taking her from rags to riches, tells her he got her phone tapped and hired a detective to follow her.

In the texts, he allegedly writes,

"I got nasty videos too that I can put on Instagram and twitter"

"I took you from rags to riches now you back to rags bitch. that's why your out selling shit going on petty ass auditions fronting to people like your doing big sh*t."

"I had your phone traced. I hired a detective. Your not slick. If it was a dude that's all you had to say."

Oh…and there’s more….

Not only was he busy issuing threats, he also proposed to Shantel…for the 2nd time…via text message! Chile…

Here’s how he tried to persuade her to come back to him:

"This is what I offer to you. Let's get married move in together you can go back in forth to L.A and stay at the condo."
"I promise I will get you in 3 A list movies this year and I'm willing to go to counseling to make us work and you can get the stuff you want and I'm willing to change but I need you to have a better attitude."

 

Umm...did he really think she would say YES after all of his foolery? Sighs... 

Shantel's screenshot game was on point and she came with receipts. Peep a few of the texts Floyd fired off to Shantel below:
 

 photo shantexts5.jpg

 photo shantexts4.jpg

 photo shantexts3.jpg

The above text is possibly referencing that time Floyd posted pics on social media of empty closets where he said he took back all he luxury clothes and bags he bought for Shantel.

 photo shantexts.jpg

 photo shantexts2.jpg

We noticed some of the texts were part of a GROUP chat...ummm...why? Who else needed to be in on this foolishness? And why was he issuing threats with other people in group chat? Weird.  Hopefully it was an additional phone of one of theirs.

We can only see this getting worse. We'll keep you posted...if/when Floyd decides to respond.

Also over the weekend....

 photo mjoson.jpg

Along with a few other YBF kids graduating this weekend, late iconic singer Michael Jackon’s eldest son Prince Jackson trekked across the stage to receive his high school diploma…with Honors!

Prince graduated from college preparatory school The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks on Saturday. And his aunt LaToya Jackson was there to cheer him on and congratulate him on his big feat. She tweeted,"So very proud of @princemjjjaxon YOU DID! And you did it with Honors!!! #buckleyclassof2015".
 

 photo mjson2.png

Also in attendance was the 18-year-old’s legal co-guardian and cousin TJ Jackson. He snapped a picture beaming with joy in which he captioned, “Prince, you have grown into an incredibly special young man. Words can’t express how proud I am of you. I will ALWAYS be here to support you wherever life takes you. I love you!”

It was a family affair as Princes’ grandmother Katherine Jackson and sister Paris were also reportedly there to celebrate with him.

So what's next for the Jackson kid? College...of course.

 

 

It appears Prince will attend the School of Film and Television at Loyola Marymount University this fall. Congrats to him!

After the week long Gumball 300 rally, which kicked off in Sweden and ended in Las Vegas last night, Eve Cooper and her husband Maximillion Cooper celebrated crossing the finish line with a live performance from the Philly raptress and rapper Bun B. Peep their party pics inside…

Raptress Eve Cooper was in party mode last night for her husband Maximillion Cooper’s Gumball 3000 rally, which wrapped up at MGM Village in Las Vegas. The Philly raptress, her hubby and Gumball drivers celebrated at the final wrap party as they crossed the finish line in Sin City.

The 3,000-mile motor rally was an annual 7-day transcontinental driving tour, which started Saturday May 23rd in Stockholm, Sweden, including overnight stops in Oslo, Copenhagen and Amsterdam, before all vehicles and participants were transported by air to Reno, Nevada, to continue on the drive to San Francisco, Los Angeles and ending in Las Vegas.

 photo themg19.jpg

The Gumball 3000 rally was started by Maximillion to help raise funds to benefit disadvantaged youth through educational, recreational and environmental-focused projects around the world. And this year, they’ve raised $157,500 to contribute to The Tony Hawk Foundation, When You Wish Upon A Star, The Sir Simon Milton Foundation, The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund UK and The Westway Trust and Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.

 photo themg1.jpg

This was the first year Eve had to miss the full race because she's busy in ATL working on Barbershop 3.  Still, she and her girls came to party, sitting pretty in their VIP section.

Chocolate City star Tyson Beckford, who hasn't missed not one event in Vegas, was also on the party scene.

And right before the rally kicked off, Maximillion shared a group shot of Bun B and the Gumballers before they headed out on their cross-country ride:

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Step Out In NYC Amidst Pregnancy Confirmation....And Bruce Jenner's Vanity Fair Cover Debut As "Caitlyn"

 photo tek3_zpsto4ptocc.jpg

Kanye West's new family is taking over the internet today.  Check out him and his wife Kim Kardashian taking the streets of New York just as their major baby announcement and Bruce Jenner's debut a "Caitlyn" made waves...

There's nothing the Kardashian-Wests-Jenners love more than an internet takeover.  So here we are...as the twosome take the Manhattan streets this morning in their ripped jeans and leather jackets.

Last night, thanks to a super tease for the upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," the world learned a second Baby West is on the way.  Yep, Kim is pregnant again, after -- so she says -- having fertility issues that caused pregnancy to be difficult the second time around.  Even after having sex umpteen times a day -- so she says - the couple did not get pregnant right away. 

 

 photo yek5_zps46r5nfmz.jpg

But now, on the heels of daughter North's 2nd birthday (June 15th), Mrs. West has confirmed the couple is indeed expecting.  Sources state Kim may be 3 months along.

In conveniently timed GLAMOUR cover story out this morning, with a headline about Baby #2, Kim confirmed to mag saying, "We are so beyond excited.”

Kanye's wife also said in the issue about her fertility issues:

I thought, Why not share my story? It’s been really emotional. One doctor told me I would need my uterus removed after I had another baby—I could only have one more. One was like, “You should get a surrogate.” The other one was like, “Oh, no, you’ll be fine.” Then I called my doctor, and he’s like, “You know what? I believe—we’ll get through it.”There are definitely times when I walked out [of the doctor’s office] hysterically crying,and other times when I was like, “OK, everything’s looking good—it’s going to be this month!”

 photo yek2_zps0gbrivlt.jpg photo yek1_zpsiv5hagwb.jpg

Meanwhile, another cover story from a family member may have trumped that baby news:

Bruce Jenner has officially made his debut as "Caityln."  With a lingerie-filled cover shot and glammed up photoshoot for Vanity Fair, Bruce has finally made his transition into Caitlyn Jenner, and will be referred to as such from this point on.  With new Twitter & IG handles to reflect her new identity, plus a Annie Leibovitz pictorial to boot, it's going to be a long day of news from this family.

We're sure Kanye is proud since Caitlyn--who was still Bruce at the time--told Diane Sawyer during their interview last month that the rapper is the person who helped his wife Kim to accept her stepfather as his new self.

Check out the BTS footage and the cover above.

What ALLEGEDLY Caused "Being Mary Jane" Actress Raven Goodwin To POP OFF In Waffle House Altercation....

Uh oh!  Mary Jane will NOT be pleased about this.  "Being Mary Jane" star Raven Goodwin was caught on video almost putting paws on a chick at a Waffle House in Atlanta.  Deets inside about what allegedly caused the foolywang material...

Why ish ALWAYS goes down at a Waffle House is beyond us.  But this particular drama is quite surprising since it involves Disney kid turned BET star Raven Goodwin.

This video surfaced online this weekend showing Raven popping clean off on another woman while they were inside a Waffle House in Atlanta.  Seeing that "BMJ" is currently filming in Atlanta, and this type of drama is the type of ratchetry that is sometimes portrayed on the show, is it possible this was a scene from the show?

 

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

According to TMZ, it wasn't.  The site states this is what their sources say went down late Saturday night:

The 22-year-old "Good Luck Charlie" star was sitting at a table waiting for friends, but it looked like the people at the table next to her were about to leave so she asked to be moved there.

The people at the other table lingered, which apparently pissed Raven off. We're told Raven ended up in the bathroom arguing with a woman who had been sitting at the desired table. The woman called Raven a "fat bitch," and Raven fired back by telling her she was broke and need to go make some money.

All THAt over somebody not getting up quick enough from a table?!  Mary Jane/Gabby Union, come get your niece!

 photo Screen Shot 2015-06-01 at 4.41.29 PM_zpssb5pkqra.png

Raven, pictured atop on "The Real" last week, still hasn't spoken about the issue, but her last IG post is the above pic from last night saying "#ATLNights".

By the way, Pharrell was on hand to receive the Fashion Icon Award.  Congrats!

Gorge.  Janelle nailed her first CFDA appearance.  She told People about how her look came together saying:

“When brainstorming with Tadashi and my stylist Maeve Reilly, we were inspired by a black-and-gold cape jacket from his collection,” Monae tells PEOPLE exclusively about her outfit. “We decided to recreate it into a white-and-gold cape dress, since I had never done a cape-dress look. We wanted to really embrace Tadashi’s aesthetic and incorporate my signature style elements mixed with enchantment, regality and wonder — all in one look. This was the perfect marriage, and I’m so happy with the final result.”

After hooking up on Twitter a year and a half ago....LA Laker Nick Young and his rapper girlfriend Iggy Azalea just made it official.  The two are engaged!  Get the deets and pics of the ring inside...

 photo Screen Shot 2015-06-02 at 10.41.40 AM_zpsmlx679ga.png

Nick Young celebrated his 30th birthday in a MAJOR way on Monday night.  At his carnival-themed outdoor party in L.A., the NBA star got down on one knee and surprised his 24-year-old girlfriend Iggy Azalea by asking her to marry him.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-06-02 at 3.58.48 AM_zpsvxrbmzsd.png

His proposal...and that light-up revolving ring box holding this canary diamond ring...was all caught on video by a friend at the party.  Check it below:

 

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

 

ABout the ring, Nick designed it with Jason of Beverly Hills CEO, Jason Arasheben, who dished about the carats and the design:

"Nick was very involved in designing the ring.  We wanted it to be both a ring of Iggy's dreams and a ring that fit her personal style. It is always an honor when a client trusts me to help design a ring that symbolizes one of the most important decisions of their life."

The ring has a 8.15 carat Fancy Intense Yellow cushion cut center stone with 2.28 carats of white diamonds set onto 18 carat white gold.

Nick and Iggy's relationship escalated from doing photoshoots together to buying a home together last year.  The two have been pretty much inseparable since hooking up, despite that hiccup where Nick was spotted bringing home mystery girls in the car Iggy bought him.  Iggy never addressed it and the two carried on...

 photo Screen Shot 2015-06-02 at 3.21.42 AM_zps6n1dlzre.png

Iggy wrote a sweet birthday message to her man Monday night (after posting pics of her new ring with the caption "#ISaidYes") with the above pic saying:

Happy 30th to my now old man nick!
I'll save the really mushy stuff for inside your birthday card that way you can blackmail me with it later.
For now it's just a simple:
I looooove you, I'd do anything for you.
Glad you exist etc etc.
Ps.
If we get old together don't die before me. (Jk)

Check out more pics and video from Nick's b-day bash below:

@thenewclassic turning up lol

A video posted by Nick Young (@swaggyp1) on

This engagement was just in time as the innanets were saying Iggy was on the road to irrelevancy when she cancelled her tour a couple of days ago....and"left" social media for a while before that. Looks like she's ready to play basketball wife and step mommy to Nick's son instead.

Back at the premiere, R&B songstress Sevyn Streeter and her rapper boo B.o.B. posted a few hotel selfies before they hit the red carpet.

Denver Nuggets baller Tywon Ronell "Ty" Lawson struck a pose.  "Entourage" hits theaters tomorrow.  By the way, we got an early screening of the flick, and if you were a fan of the series, you will love the movie.  It felt like an extended episode that was on cameo steroids.  Entourage premiere June 3rd.

 

In other movie news.... 

 photo PaulaPattonMarriottContentStudioFrench7od-uAeqYcfl.jpg

With her film"French Kiss" landing theaters a few weeks ago (see her red carpet photo above), famed funnywoman Paula Patton has already lined up her next comedic gig. We've just learned that the ink is drying on the contract for her next gig...a new Adam Sandler flick.

The film, dubbed "The Do Over" is the second film in the multipicture pact the former SNL-star funnyman has with Netflix (his first was The Ridiculous Six) and was scripted by Chris Pappas and Kevin Barnett.

The story follows two down-on-their-luck guys who decide to fake their own deaths and start over with new identities, only to find the people they’re pretending to be are in even deeper trouble.

If all goes well, we suspect Paula and her son Julian will have a great time since the film will begin shooting in Savannah, GA in July...and the town is gorgeous during the summer.  Go get your son and get your life Paula!

Rihanna is back in the Big Apple after spending a few days in Havana, Cuba. Peep pics of the Pop princess trekking through the rain to hit the NYC party scene and flicks of her grabbing breakfast with Real Madrid soccer player Karim Benzema in the wee hours of the morning inside….

It has been raining cats and dogs in NYC over the last few days. But, that hasn’t stopped Rihanna from hitting the party scene. After turning heads in a sequined Discount Universe gown at Escuelita nightclub Sunday night, the Pop princess was back out for another round of partying.

This time last year, Rih was busy shutting down the carpet at the 2014 CFDA Awards in a custom hand-embellished Adam Selman fishnet dress to accept the Fashion Icon Award.

Last night, the Bajan beauty (rocking new bangs) skipped out on this year’s CFDA Awards to party it up in the Meatpacking district at posh hotspot The Griffin.

Braving the rain, Rih tiptoed inside the nightclub holding her umbrella (ella, ella, ella) rocking a pair of busted-knee jeans, a black tank, a black leather jacket and black bumps.

Afterwards....

 photo rihanden2.jpg

All that partying must have worked up an appetite, so the Dior spokeswoman decided to grab a bite to eat at Latin eatery Coppelia Diner (open 24/7) around 5am this morning. Oh…and she had a guest. RiRi was joined by Real Madrid soccer player Karim Benzema. Mmhmm….

Around this time last year, Rih tweeted her support to the footballer during the World Cup Series tweeting:

 

 

He responded:

 

 

We'll keep them on the "just friends" list...for now.

 

EXTRAS:

1. Lauryn Hill, Lenny Kravitz, Kelis, Grace Jones, Danny Brown& more have been announced to perform at this year's Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn's Commodore Barry Park August 22-23. STORY

2. Before his untimely death, Chinx Drugz was gearing up to relase his debut album. eOne Music and Four Kings Management have announced the posthumous release of his nearly-completed album, Welcome to J.F.K., on August 14, 2015.

Emily B and Fabolous welcomed their brand new baby yesterday...and so did Chad OchoCinco Johnson and his girlfriend Crystal Bates.  Get the baby fever inside...

Baby Jackson is here!  Reality star/Stylist Emily Bustamante and rapper Fabolous (government name John Jackson) just welcomed their second child together last night, which we're told is a bouncing baby boy. 

Fab posted a pic from the delivery room, suited up in scrubs and his chain.  Emily also posted this sweet message:

   photo Screen Shot 2015-06-02 at 10.58.39 AM_zpsidddofff.png

Awww.  The couple is getting plenty of congratulatory messages on social media, but the twosome have stayed mum on the name of the baby...for now.

Baby Jackson will join big sister Taina (from Emily's previous relationship) and big brother Johan.  Congrats!

 

In other new baby news:

Chad Johnson and girlfriend Crystal recently welcomed baby girl Kennedi Chanel Johnson.  He tweeted just a few hours ago about the Frankie Beverly & Maze-style delivery.  Gotta love it.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-06-02 at 12.28.37 PM_zps3uqsd2e4.png

Early this morning, he told his Tiwtter followers, "Look how cool life is, Kennedi born this morning, headed to take & train Baby Cha'iel at track practice then pick up @jicyraa_carter at 1."

And as of an hour ago, he's back at the hospital visiting his new baby girl.  He tweeted, "At the hospital w/ the squad visiting our newest infantry thinking of a nickname..."

Hope he finds those shoes quickly so we can see this baby girl.  We're sure she's a cutie.  Oh, and baby Kennedi is the couple's 9th child, but their first child together.  Both have several kiddies from previous relationships.

Chad and Crystal have been spotted taking trips and lunching it up around Miami throughout her pregnancy.  So all seems to be well with the couple.  Congrats!
