We're nosy as all hell when it comes to one of our fave shows "Power," and we're not the only ones.  We know you want the tea on what to expect this season (besides LaLa's upcoming topless sex scenes and the pending reveal of Angela Valdez's REAL job) .  So TheYBF.com hit the NYC red carpet season 2 premiere party of the hit Starz show to chat up our faves.  Get the video inside...

Get ready for more sex, more lies, and more scandal in season 2 of "Power."  On Tuesday night at the Best Buy Theater in NYC, the cast members dished to YBF CorrespondentJeff J. on what's next and if they'll still be riding hard for what (and who) they love this season.

We left off season 1 with Tommy Egan (Ghost's ride or die, right-hand man) finding out Ghost's side piece is a US District Attorney...who's a major threat to their illegal empire. 

Joseph Sikora told us on the carpet about his severely hot-headed character:

"It's going to be really explosive and exciting.  Tommy is that 0-60 kind of guy so we'll see if Tommy exists anywhere from 1-10 in season 2."

Ghost himself doesn't know about his side piece's 9-5 yet, but season 2 is about to get EXTRA real.  So how will he recover?  Omari Hardwick hinted that karma will indeed be a pain in Ghost's ass this season, telling us:

The biggest gangster in the world is the one who can out-think the muscle.  Kanan represents the muscle, played by "Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, and James Ghost St. Patrick is played by me is more of a thinker.  So first and foremost, he sort of side steps people with that brain of his.  But, of course, that kind of catches up with you.  You know, karma is a bitch.  And ultimately,  season 2 becomes a lesson in karma and how it catches up with one.

If he totally figures it out, I don't know if we have a show.  So he's trying to figure out how to figure it out.

And about whether all that dapperness will help Ghost out of his epic mess:

The way he recovers is..it's always here [in his brain]. He is not only a bright character, but the brightest character I've ever played. It's been a beautiful thing for me to fill that guy's brain and mindset up with the way I think.  And whatever Omari can bring to him and adding to Courtney's incredible pen.  

Naturi Naughton dished on why her character 'Tasha St. Patrick' is on 'BBHMM' mode this season saying:

"In season 2, she starts looking out for self.  She's a little nervous about what Ghost is doing.  She doesn't know if she's going to be left broke or if he's going to leave her.  So Tasha's like: I gotta do me, I gotta get my money together, save my chips and I think she's just fighting for her life.  She's not going to go back to the streets or back in a situation where she can't provide for her family."

50 stopped by to spill on how he nailed it as an Executive Producer, especially when it comes to authenticity:

I wanted to make a project that was gritty and true to the pressures of that lifestyle.  So you'll see in season 2, it gets really intense.  You're on the edge of our seat.  You feel like law enforcement is closing in while you got things going on in the street at the same time.  In real life, people aren't always conscious of other things going on at the same time.

"Power" returns June 6th on STARZ.

"Power" star 50 Cent has launched a high end line of luxury men's underwear named FRIGO.  See how Curtis Jackson bulges in his FRIGOs inside....

50 Cent, who serves as Executive Producer of the hit series "Power" (which kicks off this weekend), recently stripped for the new FRIGO RevolutionWear underwear campaign.

The luxury line is part of a new business deal Fiddy partnered with Carmelo Anthony, Derek Jeter and Timbaland.

If you'd like to see the man in your life rocking the new undies...it comes with a price. The cheapest pair cost $30 and can go up to $100. 

When FORBES asked him why he thinks the line will be successful, Fiddy said,“Well because I think the product speaks for itself. Because the attention to detail in each item is incredible. And finally…because I said so!”

This Trina Braxton & Gabe Solis divorce has gotten extremely ugly.  We have an exclusive sneak peek into tonight's episode of "Braxton Family Values" showing the latest dirty trick Trina claims Gabe has pulled....

This season of "Braxton Family Values," we're seeing Trina Braxton actually follow through with the divorce from her husband Gabe Solis.  After more than a few attempts at a divorce, this time, she's going through with it.  But based on what we've earned this season, the sisters say Gabe has not made it easy.

As ordered by divorce court, Trina and her sons must quickly move out of their home (within a few days). And on tonight's episode, Trina also discovers Gabe is allegedly messing with her finances, which could jeopardize the opening of her new bar.

It's a total doozy.  Also on the episode, Tamar and Toni check on mama Evelyn after her surgery, and worry about Trina’s divorce. Tamar is hurt when she finds out about Trina’s upcoming 40th birthday party through Toni. Traci stresses about her son’s engagement as she preps for a big showcase, and has a panic attack minutes before hitting the stage!

Check out the sneak peek below:

The episode airs on tonight (Thursday, June 4th) at 9pm ET/PT on WE.

Trey Songz looks to have gotten his ex-boo Tanaya Henry as she was his date at the Moët Nectar Imperial Rose x Marcelo Burlon Launch. Come inside for the pics and shots of Solange Knowles Ferguson attending the Christian Siriano Resort 2016 Collection Presentation….

R&B crooner Trey Songz hit up the Moët Nectar Imperial Rose x Marcelo Burlon Launch held at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC last night with a special lady on his arm. It appears he and his on-again off-again girlfriend/model Tanaya Henry have made up and are seemingly back together.

So much for those Mila J dating rumors...

Fashionista Solange Knowles Ferguson was also amongst the celebs working the red carpet, rocking a structured cut-out black and gray dress paired with white sandals.

Fantastic Four and Creed star Michael B. Jordan went for a more laid back look wearing distress denim and Jordan sneakers. He's gearing up for the premieres of his new films with Fantastic Four debuting August 7th and Creed premiering November 25th.

Former “Basketball Wives: Miami” star Jennifer Williams popped up in a long sleeved leather dress and black booties for the night's festivities.

E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles kept it cute and comfortable in a black jumpsuit paired with a printed clutch for a pop of color.

Chef Roble was in the mix in an interesting ensemble to toast it up.

Famed director Vashtie Kola (who is also the ex-girlfriend of Pharrell Williams) turned heads in a vibrant orange crop top paired with wide leg trousers.

Solo and Trigga posed it up with designer Marcelo Burlon who designed limited edition bottles for Moët & Chandon's Nectar Imperial Rose champagne.

Alicia made sure to get her hands on one of the limited edition bottles.

Then, Trey took the stage to serenade the audience with a few of his hits.

Earlier....

Before hitting the carpet at the Moët x Marcelo Burlon unveiling, Solange attended Christian Siriano Resort 2016 Collection held at Private Residence to check out his latest designs. She was a vision in an all white laser cut jacket and matching trousers paired with white sandals as she snapped it up with the designer. Gorge.  

Afterwards...

After hitting the carpet, sexy actor Michael B. Jordan made his way to Game nightclub in the Meatpacking district to let loose.

Also on the party scene....

After a chill night the night before, Rihanna was back on the party scene seen leaving Game nightclub after partying for a few hours.

RiRi kept her lookcute and casual wearing a grey Billionaire Girls' Club hoodie, skinny jeans, white Puma sneakers (she's the new spokeswoman!) and a baseball cap.

Nia Long was wrapped up in love with her fiancé Ime Udoka for their first public outing since getting engaged recently. Peep their coupledom shots inside…

Hollywood starlet Nia Long was basking in love with her soon-to-be husband San Antonio Spurs coach Ime Udoka at Russell Simmons' All Def Comedy Live in L.A. last night.

This is the first time the twosome has been spotted together publicly since Ime got on bended knee to ask Nia’s hand in marriage last month.

Rumors had been circulating about their engagement weeks before we knew it was official. Last month, “Uncle Buck” star officially confirmed the good news while out at dinner last month, flashing a huge rock, which she posted to her social media accounts with the caption, "#FOREVER."

Looks like the love birds (going 5 years strong) had a good time laughing it up alongside friend Daphne Wayans during the weekly comedy night special alongside . We can’t wait to see the beautiful couple on their wedding day. No word on when they'll walk down the aisle just yet....

Chris Brown and Tyga were spotted on a video set with Kylie Jenner and Pia Mia yesterday.  We've got the pics inside, plus what Chris' ex Karrueche is up to in L.A. with Christina Milian.......

Chris Brown must be going for a record number of video shoots & releases in the least amount of time.  Just in the last couple of months he's shot "Five More Hours" with Deorro, "FUN" with Pitbull,  “Bitches N Marijuana” with Tyga and ScHoolboy Q, Big Sean’s “Play No Games,” and now "Do It Again" with Tyga's girlfriend's bestie Pia Mia.

The group was spotted on the beach in Malibu yesterday shooting visuals for Pia's song:

Well at least Chris is keeping himself busy with music--at this very moment--instead of staying in some drama.

As for what his ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran was up to last night:

She got dressed up for a night out with bestie Christina Milian.  Tina Turn Up flaunted her new fave short wiggery as the twosome dined out at Toca Madera in West Hollywood.  They were later spotted with friends  leaving Warwick night club in Hollywood:

Karrueche has been acting unbothered and has been living on the party scene.

Good to see her not crawling back to Chris again..

The widow of Terry Carter (the man Suge Knight ran over in his car near the set of the Straight Outta Compton movie) is suing record producer Marion “Suge” Knight over the wrongful death of her husband on Jan. 29.

BRAVO's "Married To Medicine" debuts this Sunday and TheYBF.com has a hot cup of tea for your viewing pleasure.  We sat down with starlet"Miss Quad" Webb and she spilled a cupful of alleged information about her co-star Lisa Nicole Cloud.

As fans of BRAVO's hit tv series "Married To Medicine" prepare to don their scrubs for Season 3, TheYBF.com sat down with outspoken starlet Quad Webb-Lunceford.  Chick is ready to spill the tea and set the record straight regarding her fall-out with frenemy Lisa Nicole Cloud (pictured below on the far left). 

As with most reality tv fights, the backstory predates the start of the show (Quad and Lisa were friends back in the day - long before BRAVO).  Quad tells TheYBF.com that she was instrumental in securing Lisa a slot on "M2M" and throughout the duration of the show's filming, they'd NEVER had an argument or a fight.  But....on May 31, 2014 - Quad found out that Lisa Nicole (her friend of several years) had run a background check on her.  CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS.  In the words of Miss Quad,"Who does that?"  

Quad (@absoutelyquad) feels that Lisa got bit by the "fame" bug and became willing to do whatever was needed to get more screen time....even at the expense of Quad's reputation.  She told us:

"It's really disappointing because she was willing to leverage our friendship.  Everyone knows that friendship is high on my priority list...and she got that background investigation on May 31 while we were still friends.  There was no need for her to do that.  We were going into the reunion last year, which we filmed on June 3rd. So apparently she was preparing herself to come at me at the reunion..."

Ouch.....is it really THAT vicious behind-the-scenes at BRAVO reunion show tapings? Quad says no.....this was totally a "Lisa Nicole" thing.  

Lisa (according to Quad) has listed a number of reasons for doing a background check on her: 1) Quad's aggressive personality 2) they share a mutual friend with past offences and 3) she considered investing in Quad's "Picture Perfect Pup" business.

Quad sums it up this way:"It was definitely [done] to be malicious and vicious."

On Season 3, we will see Lisa Nicole "introduce" her findings to the rest of the ladies.  Messy. Messy. Messy.  So how did Quad respond to this?  Like a true diva....she did HER own background investigation.  Yes, Quad did a check on herself (so she'd know everything the girls knew about her) and then she did a check on Lisa Nicole.  SIDEBAR....private investigators in Atlanta were well paid in 2014 apparently!  Ready for the tea? 

Quad hinted in her own words.

"When you open up Pandora's box....She is very unruly.  There are a couple of things.  I don't want to get too ahead of myself.  Well...let's just say she's been "BOOKED" and I don't mean at a concert or speaking engagement."

Tell us more.

"She's been a lawless villain," Quad said.

Oh really?

"She's been charged...and I don't mean American Express," Quad revealed.

When we inquired about any particular area of the law the "lawless villain" was caught up in, Quad said,

"You might want to look in the domestic area. Infidelity. Domestic.  Put two and two together."

Quad quipped, "It's something that you put in a car...and it starts with B.  Battery."

Infidelity?  Domestic battery? Sounds like Lisa Nicole's past isn't as squeaky clean as folks thought. Allegedly.  And it seems the drama will play out throughout the season.  We also reached out to Lisa Nicole for comment.

Quad tells us she's working on a collection with BCBG, and she also shot a movie called "My First Love" with Pooch Hall and Gabrielle Dennis.

Check out a sneak peek of the upcoming season below:

Season 3 of BRAVO's "Married To Medicine" premieres June 7 9/8c.

Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges and his wife Eudoxiee are now the proud parents of a newborn baby girl. Peep their baby announcements inside….

Baby alert!

Ludacris and his wife Eudoxiee are beaming with joy after the arrival of their newborn baby girl this afternoon, weighing in at 7lbs 4oz. And we know her name! A source close to the couple tells E!,"The baby's name is Cadence Gaelle Bridges. She was 7 lbs, 4oz and beautiful like her mom. Her middle name means 'a father's joy.'"

Eudoxiee posted a picture of a puppy with a pink “baby girl” balloon tied around his neck with the caption, “She is here [emojis] #blessed #grateful”:

The Furious 7 star took a totally different approach with his baby announcement:

Hmm....

Their little bundle of joy joins big sisters Karma and Cai Bella (who now lives with her pops after he was awarded primary custody), from two previous relationships. Luda's in a house full of girls.

The Bridges revealed to the world they were expecting back in March (after weeks of speculation), a few months before secretly tying the knot.  At the end of April the twosome celebrated their baby girl's arrival with a Secret Garden themed baby shower, surround by family and friends such as Monica, LeToya Luckett, Monyetta Shaw and Laura Govan.

Congrats to the couple!

R&B songstress Monica Brown threw a birthday party for her 10-year-old son Rocko and some folks are gagging over the alleged $70K price tag.  Peep pics from the lavish-kiddie bash inside....

Monica Brown threw her son Rodney “Rocko” Ramone Hill III (above), a fabulous 10th birthday party and it's the talk of Atlanta. Why? Well.....rumor has it that the party cost a whopping $70,000. 

In the grand scheme of things, that's not a lot of money for the wealthy.  For the record, the Browns (shown atop with daughter Laiyah) ain't broke.  Of course, Monica and hubby Shannon Brown didn't foot the entire "alleged" $70K bill.....Lil's Rocko's dad Rocko also contributed to the party's cost. Also.....we have a little inside dish on why Monica & Rocko splurged on the bash. 

The affair was held at Georgia Aquarium and carried a "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme because the show is a favorite of both Lil Rocko and Rocko (shown above with son Romelo).

Here's the backstory - we were told that Monica specifically requested the Ga Aquarium workers and staff "turn up"
 for the kids, because Lil Rocko and his friends/classmates have had an emotionally stressful year.

Earlier this year, Lil Rocko and his classmates lost their teacher and then a fellow student died following a violent home invasion. Monica talked about both events on past Instagram postings. Very sad.

Rocko and the Code Red songstress wanted to make sure the kids had a good time.

Monica's mom, Marilyn Best, was a proud grandma!

Monica tweeted, "Thank you to our family and friends that made this birthday party both Magical and Memorable!! Rocko is STILL saying it was his best birthday ever LOL... Every detail brought joy and every guest showed enormous amounts of love #WeAreSoGrateful #Rockos10thBirthday"

 

A video posted by Monica Brown (@monicabrown) on Jun 4, 2015 at 10:59am PDT

So.......did the party really cost $70K?  Monica isn't confirming (or denying).

WNBA Stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson are expecting their first child And we've got their cutesy announcement. Check it out and find out how Bow Wow schooled James Harden on the how to handle digitial aged THOTS inside....
 

First comes marriage (a few weeks ago at the Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Arizona) then comes a baby carriage!

We are happy to announce that married WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson are expecting their first child together and we learned the news via an Instagram post earlier today. Glory posted a bun in the oven:

“#SUCCESS #BLESSED#WelcomeToTheJohnsonGrinerFamily.”

Brittney & Glory married last month (following a 9-month engagement) and used a sperm donor to conceive (according to TMZ sports).  Now....you might recall Brittney & Glory had a nasty domestic dispute before they married.  Ummm....about that....

While the WNBA season is set to begin Friday, Brittney (who plays for the Phoenix Mercury) and Glory (who plays for the Tulsa Shock) were both suspended for 7-games as a result of their fight.  Since TMZ reports that Glory will NOT play this season (she's got the bun in the oven) we'll just expect to see Brittney hit the court for game #8.

Congrats to the couple!

In other news....

Houston Rockets baller James Harden was put on BLAST sleeping in bed with a random chick recently (after she posted an “us-ie of them in the bed), Shad “Bow Wow” Moss decided to give the MVP runner up a lesson on how to deal with the digital age groupie.

In a Facebook status (that he has since deleted), Bow Wow breaks it down on how you’re suppose to treat a chick you’re trying to get between the sheets but not necessarily trying to wife up.  We could make a joke about the irony here, but we won't.

To keep his tracks covered, Shad says he has his security confiscate the chick’s phone, the girl in question must “sign papers” (we assume a non-disclosure agreement) and he keeps tabs on her with surveillance cameras installed in his home.

Read his groupie manual below:

Yo i see yall boys still young rich and DUMB. Now james is my boy but let me say this now. This is how i USE to do it its called “leaving no evidence” if you was chilling w me my security takes phones and you signing papers. The rule is when she leaves she gets her phone back. Secondly if u forgot to take phone make sure she sleep then find her phone (usually by side of bed) i would take it put it under the bed so i KNOW im good and could sleep peacefully. Yall be too comfy w/ brauds yall dont know! I give credit to the ladies because most of us are just that rich and STUPID so yall know how to get us. I been caught up too before not knowing being a rookie but next time.. Leave no evidence. Sometimes i would sleep somewhere else leave them all by themselves but id be watching them from my security cam. Fellas be smart we know the p***** is the most powerful thing but dont let it hypnotize you. Ladies when yall do stuff like this, it ruins it for you because we NEVER calling you again. Why mess it up over a proof pic that you twapping a rich dude. Was it worth it? YOOOOOO JAMES WAAAKE UP BRO! zzzzzz.... #feartheblonde ps. This game aint for everybody! I took being a ladies man serious. You got to go all out PROTECT your brand your image.
 

We wonder if he used these tatics on someone in particular....

Checking in on our YBF Kids, we spotted Mike Tyson and his children landing in DC while Kanye& Kim West dropped deets about North's upcoming birthday party.  More inside....

Ex-Heavyweight Champion Of The World Mike Tyson, his wife Kiki Spicer and their children Milan and Morocco were seen arriving arriving at Washington Reagan National Airport in Washington DC yesterday.

Mike held little Milan's hand as they made the long trek through the terminal. Cute!

While Tyson has certainly had his public ups and downs, he's currently riding an international wave of fan support and love.

After a successful run on Broadway, and numerous movie cameos, we've just learned that he's been adding to the lineup of celebs booked for Fan Expo Canada, a pop culture convention, that runs Sept. 3-6 in Toronto. He's definitely got a comeback story!

In other YBF kids....

The world's most talked about couple have big plans for their daughter's second birthday. We've just learned that Kanye and Kim are planning a private bash at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

Kim & Kanye are reportedly handling the all the deets for the Magic Kingdom bash....so we expect it to be as over-the-top as they are.

In one cute footnote, Kim recently told reported about North's reaction to the news that she's becoming a big sister.

"She knows that mommy has a baby in her belly, but she thinks everyone has a baby in their belly. I think she thinks it's my belly button. don’t think she really understands…maybe when my belly gets bigger and she actually sees it she’ll understand it better."

Adorbs! North turns two on June 15th.

Game 1 of this year’s NBA Finals kicked off last night with Rihanna, Floyd Mayweather and more sitting court side. Also, get a dose of toddler cuteness with Steph Curry’s 2-year-old daughter Riley Cooper doing her victory dance and giving her pops a cutesy good luck kiss before tip-off inside…

The 2015 NBA Finals kicked off at Oracle Arena in Oakland last night as the Golden State Warriors went up against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1. And a few YBF celebs were sitting courtside to watch LeBron James and the Cavaliers duke it out on the court against Steph Curry and the Warriors.

FUN FACT: In a bizarre twist of fate, LeBron and Steph were born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio.

Rihanna, along with her bestie Melissa Forde, jetted from NYC to Oakland to take their courtside seats. We assume RiRi is a LeBron fan trekking it from NYC to Oakland to attend this game. And you'll recall, she gives the Akron native a shoutout in her newest single "BBHMMH" with the lyric, "Ballin' bigger than LeBron." It's also being reported, Rih was yelling LeBron's name in the player's tunnel after the game:

Rihanna is yelling LeBron's name in player tunnel right now. Weird

— Ronnie 2K 2K16 (@Ronnie2K) June 5, 2015

Interesting.

Undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. (who’s a regular at NBA games) was also courtside to take in the basketball excitement.

The champ got a chance to snap an "us-ie" with the Pop princess.

NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson and Reverend Jesse Jackson (chatting with Stephen A. Smith) were also amongst the celebs watching the highly intense game.

During half-time, rapper E-40 hit the court for a performance.

After going into overtime, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers in Game 1 with a final score, 108-100. The guys hit the locker room, got fresh, then sat down for their post-game interviews:

Congrats to Steph Curry (this year's MVP) and the Warriors! The guys will battle it out in Game 2 on Sunday, June 7th at the Oracle Arena at 8pm ET.

Steph Curry’s 2-year-old daughter Riley Curry stole the show (yet again) with her adorableness. Before tip-off, little Riley and her dad did the cutest handshake before she sent him off with a good luck kiss: 

After the game, the tiny tot melted our hearts with her little victory dance:

Cuteness overload!

In today's candids, we've spotted Jada Pinkett Smith, Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe at LAX, Mom again Kimora Lee Simmons and her daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee shopping it up in Beverly Hills, and EJ Johnson bringing in his 23rd birthday at The Ivy. Pics inside….

YBF actress Jada Pinkett Smith has been busy making moves in NYC to promote her upcoming stripper flick Magic Mike XXL and her final run on FOX’s thriller “Gotham.” She was spotted arriving at LAX after jetting from the Big Apple looking her usual gorge self.

It seems the 43-year-old actress has decided she will not be returning as Fish Mooney on the Batman-inspired drama. During her recent interview on The Howard Stern Show, she explained why she chose to sign a one-year contract saying,

“[I signed on for one year] because I really felt like Fish was there to be in service for that year, to give Penguin something to do… I love [Penguin actor Robin Lord Taylor]. I love him. He’s phenomenal, and he’s such a pleasure to work with. I’m going to miss him. I’m going to miss the whole cast. It was such a great team.”

During her chat, she also talked about her "open relationship" with her husband Will Smith. She explained,

"Look I'm not here to be anybody's watcher. I'm not his watcher. He's a grown man. Here's what I trust. The man that Will is, is a man of integrity. So he's got all the freedom in the world. So as long as Will can look at himself in the mirror and be OK? I'm good."

It seems to be working for them...

Magic Mike XXL will hit theaters July 1st.

“Murder In The First” star Nicole Ari Parker and her husband/Addicted star Boris Kodjoe were also spotted making their way through LAX yesterday. Man, they are one hot looking couple!

If you haven’t heard, the Kodjoes are coming to daytime television with a brand new talk show called "The Boris & Nicole Show,” set to premiere July 6th.

Here’s what we can expect from their new show:

“The Boris and Nicole Show” will bow July 6 on stations that will include Fox outlets in New York and Los Angeles. The pair aim to focus on lifestyle and topical issues, as well as featuring celebrity guests.
 

The twosome seem super excited about working together on their upcoming project saying,

“We met and fell in love on screen so any time we get to work together we know it will be a lot of fun,” said Kodjoe. Added Parker: “There are so many things that we are passionate about so we are thrilled that we will now have a platform to share these issues with an audience.”

Nice. We'll be tuned in.

In Beverly Hills.....

Just shy of two months after giving birth to her fourth child Wolfe Lee, mom Kimora Lee Simmons spent some quality time with her daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee and a few of their friends in Beverly Hill yesterday.

Recently, the fashion mogul announced that she's leaving her job at JustFab.com to focus on her KLS high-end line and her charitable works. With her first KLS store set to open on Beverly Drive soon, Kimora will be keeping busy with her new boutique and being mom to her four beautiful children.

Elsewhere....

#RichKidsOfBeverlyHills star EJ Johnson celebrated his 23rd birthday at The Ivy Restaurant in West Hollywood yesterday.

The son of Magic & Cookie Johnson, rocking a Moschino sweatshirt and black leather shorts, enjoyed a scrumptious lunch and a delectable piece of birthday cake to celebrate:

He captioned, "Bow down before the birthday queen! #june4th #gemini #teamthis"

Before he chowed down on his birthday dessert….

The reality star worked up a sweat doing hot pilates to keep his post-surgery trimmed bod (he lost over 100lbs) in shape. Work!

Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown were spotted together last night and an explosive shouting match broke out!  Get all the deets on their fight inside...

R&B starlet Christina Milian hosted one of Hollywood's hottest parties last night at Club Playhouse.  Today....the party is the talk of the town...but not because of the music.  More on that later.... 

As you can see...Ms. Milian's party outfit left very little to the imagination.  And if the outfit isn't enough, you can see MORE of Christina this fall (alongside John Stamos) in "Grandfathered."

Now.....the main event:

Christina's bestie Karrueche Tran came out to support her at the party, but from the looks of the pic above, she didn't count on running into her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.  Based on reports and eyewitnesses, the evening went downhill once Breezy showed up in his Lambo....we'll explain.

According to TMZ, Chris popped up in the V.I.P. section and got a table right next to Karrueche. Unfortunately for Chris, she wasn't happy to see him.  In fact, she left the club.  But, Chris followed her outside like a lovesick puppy (pic above).

Things got more intense as KT approached her SUV. Although KT's group of friends told Chris they didn't want him inside, he got into the vehicle anyway. 

If you listen closely to the video below, you'll hear one of KT's friends (above) tell Chris to stay out of their SUV.  Of course...he didn't listen.

Obviously...it was a SHORT ride, as KT's driver eventually dropped Chris back off at the club (remember...he drove there in his Lambo). But wait....there's more!

Chris allegedly showed up on Karrueche's doorstep around 3:30 AM, banging and yelling.  The noise was so loud that one of Karrueche's neighbors called the cops.  (Watch video of the cops arriving here).  As far as we know, the cops didn't question Chris or Karrueche. 

From this point - it's reported that KT left her home (after Chris banged on her front door) and fled to Norm's Diner - but Chris showed up there too!  Inside the diner, witnesses say the two got into a nasty shouting match before Karrueche eventually left....alone.  SMH....

You'll recall that Chris showed he's still got strong feelings for Karrueche during his ridiculous social media fight with Tyson Beckford a few days ago. He's not ready to move on...

We'll keep you posted on this one...

Persistence sure pays off. And Western High School student Negeen Fallahzadeh can attest to that.

Last year, the South Florida high school student reached out to Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade through social media with a letter inviting him to attend and speak at her 2015 graduation ceremony. Not only that, she kicked-off a #WadeToWestern hashtag to get her peers involved to help grab D. Wade’s attention…and it worked!

Yesterday, D. Wade jetted to Western High School graduation ceremony held at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL to make a surprise visit and give a short speech to the graduating class, fulfilling their wish.

The two-time NBA champion took to podium for a few minutes to encourage the high schoolers on their next journey in life and how to never take “NO” for an answer. Check it above.

We love when our YBF celebs give back.

Last night, Omari Hardwick attended the Atlanta premiere of "POWER" while "RHOA" star Kandi Burruss and Monyetta Shaw hosted a party at The Gold Room.  Pics inside...

Atlanta native Omari Hardwick made a triumphant return home, last night, as he treated a group of Atlanta VIPs to the Season Two premiere of his show "Power" followed by a Q-N-A. 

It was definitely a "coming full circle" moment for Omari who posted on Instagram, "Back in the town that raised the lil ole ghOst inside me.....ATLANTA. Here with my brothers, sisters & super supportive family & #AlphaBrothers & friends & the cast of Starz #SurvivorsRemorse. #PowerTV. Sitting next to my Mama. Ladies, that powerful bald head belongs to my long time 'lil bro' @eazyentatl. Thank you @TichinaArnold @DoubleRLee. #Season2 "

Omari shared his full circle moment with fellow STARZ celebs Tichina Arnold and Ron Reaco Lee. Tichina tweeted,"Me & 2 of the most talented & might I add FINEST #BlackMen on #TV right now."

As you might know, Ron and Tichina both star on the STARZ series "Survivor's Remorse" which is produced by LeBron James. 

Tichina and Ron's co-star Erica Ash (who also appears in Sister Code and on "Real Husbands Of Hollywood") celebrated Omari's success too.

The premiere also brought out BRAVO's "Married 2 Medicine" star Toya Bush-Harris.

Christina Johnson, the ex-wife of Cee Lo Green and the star of "Atlanta Exes" lent her support.

Guess who else showed up...."Married To Medicine" starlet Mariah Huq with her hubby Aydin. Bad news for Mariah fans....she has been downgraded to a "Friend of..." on the show. You won't see much of her...

Here's the scene at the Regal Atlantic Station....

One more thing...

Tichina happily Instagrammed a pic from the wrap party of her hit show "Survivor's Remorse."  And she included the show's air date!  She captioned,"And that's a wrap ladies & gentlemen! The cast & crew of #SurvivorsRemorse just filmed the last day of an amazing #Season2 (literally). We can't wait for our fans of the show to see the fruits of our labor on #August22 #StarzNetwork Til then..."

Also in ATL...

Bedroom Kandi CEO Kandi Burruss and "Atlanta Exes" star Monyetta Shaw hosted a joint birthday party for themselves at The Gold Room last night.

It was a belated celebration for both the ladies.  Kandi turned 39 on May 17th while Monyetta's exact birthday is unlisted.  Maybe she'll get back to us....

Monyetta, a single mother of two, is giving us body!

The birthday fun brought out some of ATL's most beautiful women, but the club lighting wouldn't let them be great!  Kandi captioned, "This club lighting is messing up my pics! @msericadixon @kristihowardatl @gochasalon @monyettashaw @latashawright @charliesangelll @christinajohnson_ all are in the building! #GoldRoom"

One of those pretty ladies was Gocha Hawkins, who stars on "LA Hair."

While still struggling with the club lights, Kandi and her hubby Todd posed for a flick.  She wrote,"Club lighting is the worst for selfies... #GoldRoom with my love @todd167"  Fans of the Tuckers can catch them every Sunday on the "RHOA" spinoff "Kandi's Ski Trip."

The "Kandi Koated Knights" Crew was in the building!

Waka Flocka's wife Tammy posed with Monyetta.

Marlo Hampton was on the scene too.  We've noticed that she's really upped her game and is very serious about succeeding as a fashion consultant and style guru.

Zoe Saldana lands her first magazine cover since giving birth to her twins boys. And she’s gracing the cover of InStyle magazine’s July 2015 issue where she opens up about body post-pregnancy. Also, Willow Smith has nabbed her first major fashion campaign, posing it up for fashion designer Marc Jacobs. More inside….

Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana became a first-time mom after giving birth to her twin boys Cy and Bowie (with husband Marco Perego) in November 2014. Now, six months later, the Hollywood actress is debuting her post-pregnancy bod on the cover of InStyle magazine’s July 2015 issue.

Shot by Paul Maffi in Malibu's Villa de Leon, the YBF actress showed off her trimmed physique in a Dolce & Gabbana dress, accessorized with a bracelet and ring by Dior Fine Jewelry. And she's look amazing.

In the mag, the Avatar starlet reveals she may never get back to her pre-pregnancy, but that’s ok! She’s totally focused on being healthy no matter what the scale says. She spilled,

“I don’t want to get back to where I used to be. I want to feel healthy, and not just fit into the old jeans I used to wear. I’m a woman now. My body has changed forever. It’s softer… and stronger.”

Well Zoe, we actually love your post-baby curves.

The 36-year-old star also talked about her Italian artist husband taking HER last name, rather than her taking his. She said,

“I tried to talk him out of it. I told him, ‘If you use my name, you’re going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world,'” she says. “But Marco looks up at me and says, ‘Ah, Zoe, I don’t give a s—.'”

How cute!

Zoe’s cover with her full interview will be available on newsstands and for digital download June 12th.

In an upcoming fashion campaign....

Not many 14-year-olds can say they’ve posed it up a major fashion campaign…but Willow Smith sure can.

The daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith is one of the new faces of Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter 2015 collection. And she’s serving up a little goth chicness for her pictorial.

Shot by David Sims, the “cool kid” rocks a black pleated skirt, paired with a sequined top as she works her magic sitting on a ladder. The famed designer revealed her editorial via his Instagram with the caption,

Ever since our first Juergen Teller ad in 1998 which featured Kim Gordon on stage wearing my dress, I have always preferred collaborating with the people who inspire me to give new life to the clothes we show on our runway.

Over the years we have photographed an incredibly diverse and exceptional group of talented friends and individuals who I greatly admire: Victoria Beckham, Jamie Bochert, Jarvis Cocker, Sofia Coppola, Miley Cyrus, Dakota Fanning, William Eggleston, Jessica Lange, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stephen Malkmus, Samantha Morton, Kate Moss, Charlotte Rampling, Winona Ryder, Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Sherman, Michael Stipe, and Rufus Wainwright, just to name a few. Beauty, style and talent know no age. It is those individuals whose creativity, unique vision, and voice inspire all of us here to create and express ourselves through our medium: fashion.
Photographed by David Sims, this season’s ads feature friends, each of whom evoke a sense of intrigue and inspiration and collectively provoke a true consideration for individuality.

Here today I would like to share (not CHER) with you first, the talented, stylish and charming Willow Smith @gweelos

Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more…

Willow joins 69-year-old singer Cher as the latest faces of his new ad campaign, and based on his caption, more faces will be coming soon. We expect this upcoming campaign to bring much diversity all while keeping with the gothic-theme.

Ask, and ye shall receive...even if it is a $65 million luxury jet. Thanks to the board of directors at Creflo Dollar’s World Changers Church International Church, that G650 jet he requested has been approved. Read their statement and find out (allegedly) why OWN decided to pull the plug on the upcoming reality show following the Atlanta man with 34 kids inside….

Remember when televangelist Creflo Dollar asked his followers to donate funds to help purchase a $65 Million aircraft so he could "spread" the good gospel around the world? And remember when he said no one was going to stop him?

Well, he's right. No one stopped him and his prayers have been answered! According to the Board of Directors of Creflo’s World Changers Church International Church, they plan on acquiring the luxury Gulfstream G650 for their leader (and 17 others) to travel the globe to spread the word of the Lord.

In statement published on Creflo’s church website, it reads:

"We plan to acquire a Gulfstream G650 because it is the best, and it is a reflection of the level of excellence at which this organization chooses to operate. We, the World Changers family, so value the lives, the safety and the well-being of our pastors and leaders that we wish to provide to them the best air travel experience possible."

Which means, traveling first class through any airline is simply not good enough.

Furthermore, the statement also addresses the YouTube video that went viral where Creflo was requesting the funds for his luxury jet from his congregation. In the clip, he asked for $300 donations from 200,000 people to help fund the aircraft. Of course, Creflo was bombarded with backlash over his request, but the church claims no one was pressured to give money, it was merely an opportunity presented to those who wanted to donate. Hmph.

They said,

"There was not, nor will there be, a request for donations from the public at large, people outside that faith community or the members of local World Changers churches in Atlanta, New York and two dozen other locations. There are some 3 million donors in the ministry’s global databases, with tens of millions of others who are connected to the ministry through books, magazines, social media, missions outreach and a daily television broadcast that is translated into many languages and aired worldwide.

"There was no pressure of any kind applied to anyone, but rather an opportunity was presented to those in our community who may be inclined to participate and who stand to benefit from the global mobility of our ministry leaders. We fully acknowledge that the campaign video did not do a good job of communicating the request, and we apologize for any confusion it may have caused – it is in the process of being revamped and will be re-released when complete."

You can read their full statement here.

In other news...

We’re sure you remember the Atlanta man who appeared on Iyanla Vanzant’s “Fix My Life” who had 34 kids by 17 different women. Well, shortly after appearing on the show and on a follow-up show, “baby daddy” Jay Williams was offered a docu-series on the OWN Network.

It was revealed the show would center around Jay working to “make it right” with his children, their mothers and getting his life in order with the help of life coach Iyanla Vanzant. But apparently, things didn’t quite pan out the way the network had hoped, so they decided to cancel the show.

OWN released a statement (via The Grio) confirming the show got the axe and none of it will air. The statement reads:

“OWN has decided not to move forward with the Jay Williams docu-series. The series aimed to follow Jay as he worked to put his life and fractured relationships in order and to hold him accountable every step of the way. The intention was to help Jay work to establish new connections with his family, his children and the mothers of his children. Production has ended and the series will not air.”

Sources tell The Grio the release the show got the axe is because the reality show wasn’t going in the direction the networked had hoped it would. Hmm…that could be a number of things, so, as of now, the real reason they decided to pull the plug remains unknown.
 

EXTRAS:

1. Remember when reports surfaced thatLil Twist allegedly beatdown Kyle Massey (Nickelodeon star Chris Massey’s brother)? Well, now he’s SUING for the alleged attack. STORY

Omari Hardwick makes us swoon while watching him on "Power" every Saturday night in the hot and sticky summer.   Now, he's making us swoon off screen with talk of his real-life dad skills.  Check out our sit down with one of the hottest men on TV, as well as his on-screen mistress Lela Loren, inside....

He's ridiculously hot on screen as "the biggest motherfu*kin' drug dealer in New York City."  We admit it.  But now that he's a father to two kiddies in real life and shares his love for them often on social media, our admiration for Omari Hardwick has grown to epic proportions.

We've been dying to know how becoming a dad has affected his life, as well as how he nails this scary drug kingpin character to a tee.  So YBF Correspondent Shirley Vernae sat down with the former "Being Mary Jane" star in NYC recently to chop it up about season 2 of the hit show "Power."

When asked how becoming a dad to two kids -- his and his wife Jae's toddler daughter Nova and their newborn -- influences how he portrays his character Ghost being a family man AND a super dangerous illegal/legal business man, the actor surprisingly revealed:

"The research in the beginning of this show...I went back and watched so much of "The Cosby Show."   It's such an innate nature, before I became literally a father, as a father figure to sort of love on people. Even if they weren't, you know, my children."

He continued about his intriguing vision for Ghost:

"What I thought Bill Cosby did such a great job with, and we don't give him enough credit for it, is that it wasn't just that he had fathered the kids that played his children, he fathered an entire generation.

So what I thought was, if Ghost can be this guy that's different and larger than life in a 'bad way', then let's equal that with him being sort of a Bill Cosby who's a drug dealing king pin. And we had never seen that before. So I went in with that sort of rhythm."

And yes, it works.

As for Ghost's co-star and side chick love-interest Angela Valdes, Lela Loren (who plays Angela) told us what it was like being cast in the luckiest role on the show.  She tells us:

"It was my first time ever having to be sexual [on screen], period. And having to tell that narrative. So, it was a lot of fear, anxiety, 'Am I gonna know what I'm doing?', 'How is this going to work?'." And [Omari] has such integrity and professionalism."

And how does she get through those intense and steamy sex scenes with Omari?  Apparently, he makes it easy.  Lela tells us:

"He gives off this protective feeling. So you feel totally safe to go there and go all those places, and know that none of those lines are going to be blurred. That's what helps us have those really steamy scenes between Ghost, well Jamie, and Angela."

Mmhmmm...

Check out the full interview video below.  Plus, get our chit chat with co-stars 50 Cent, Naturi Naughton and Joseph SikoraHERE in case you missed it.

Season 2 of “Power” premieres Saturday at 9PM ET/PT on Starz.
