Rihanna is in L.A. doing what she loves...hitting up Giorgio Baldi for dinner.  But last night, she didn't fly solo.  Find out about her rumored new boo inside, plus Lark Voorhies and the drama with her new husband...

Reports are flying -- from photographers on the scene -- that Rihanna spent last night at her fave Santa Monica eatery...with her rumored new boo Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.  But it wasn't just any 'ol dinner date.   Reports state the two made a beeline for private room where they spent 4 hours together.  A four hour dinner?  Oh...

Other sources say Rihanna had an intimate private party at Giorgio Baldi, so that could explain the private room and long dinner. 

Rihanna and Karim, both 27, were both spotted leaving around the same time, but separately.  Of course.  But we know the deal.  Looks like these two are having more and more date nights together.....

In their coupledom rumors:

We were all shocked by the Lark Voorhies Vegas wedding news on Friday.  The former "Saved By The Bell" star wed a man named Jimmy Green, and they actually tied the knot back in April.  New reports state that Jimmy, whom Lark met on Facebook, may have some criminal activities on his slate.

TMZ reports that Green is wanted in Tuscon, Arizona after a 2012 incident involving a store owner refusing to take back a cell phone he tried to return.  Jimmy allegedly threw the phone and threatened to kill the store owner, shouting, "I'm going to break the store and kill [you]."

The report also states he was charged with disorderly conduct and making criminal threats.  Oh, and he supposedly missed his court date.

Sigh. 

Lark's rep, Jennifer Wolfson, has responded and says the allegations are being looked into.

"We are obviously concerned about the allegations and we are looking into the matter," Voorhies' rep Jennifer Wolfson told Us Weekly. "Lark feels these allegations are not true and would like this cleared up as soon as possible."

Jimmy told E! News:

'It was just a misdemeanor. They are blowing it out of proportion. Whatever happened, it is in my past. I am a changed man.'

Apparently, Lark's family isn't here for Jimmy and wants Lark to get an annulment. 

Lisa Turtle totally wouldn't approve of this.

Last Night, Mayor Kasim Reed's 18th Annual Mayor's Cup VIP Reception & Silent Auction went down at PIRCH Atlanta last night. The event was prequel to Mayor Reed annual golf tourney and raise funds to scholarships for teens to attend to college. So the celebs came out to support the cause, which also served as a birthday celebration for the Mayor.

The Mayor and his wife Sara-Elizabeth Reed hit the carpet before partying it up and cutting the cake.

Eva Marcille served up what she does best--that leg game.  The former Top Model rcocked a nude maxi dress with a thigh high split for the night.

Former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield came out of hiding.  And we're wondering if this is She by Sheree...and how Chateau Sheree is coming along...

Over in D.C. last night:

Prince played a private concert at the White House with celebrities in attendance.  We spotted former Miami Heat baller Alonzo Mourning making his Washington, DC arrival with wife Tracy Mourning.
 

NBA Free agent Ray Allen hit the White House with wife Shannon Walker Williams.

Al Sharpton and his girlfriend Aisha McShaw made their arrival.

Then they snapped a pic inside with the legendary Stevie Wonder.

Who's ready?!

Chris Brown and KarruecheTran are at it again.  But this time, Karrueche seems to have the upper hand.  Check their latest exchange inside in case you missed it...

On today's episode of As The 'Gram Turns, Karrueche has broken her silence toward Chris Brown to give him a piece of her mind. 

Apparently, Chris had something to say about Kae speaking about him and their relationship recently.  And he made it known.  Next thing we know, Karrueche has grown a backbone and shes letting him know what's up.

She posted late last night:

Bloop.

Of course, Chris didn't let that go without a response.  And he played victim, as usual.  He posted the older pic of the twosome atop and said:

It seems he still doesn't get that you FORCING yourself on an ex is not the definition of "fighting for the woman you love."  But cleaning up your act may have an effect...

Meanwhile, Karrueche appeared unbothered in Pittsburgh yesterday hosting "The Seventh Day" Day Party with Lira Galore and Mendeecees:

Here's the recent Access Hollywood interview Karrueche referenced.  Check it out for yourselves:

Singer chicks Teyana Taylor and Keyshia Cole thrilled fans with a set of scandalous performances during HOT 107.5’s Summer Jamz 18. Watch Keyshia working her cut-out bathing suit and Teyana's sensuous lap dance inside...

Over the weekend, Detroit's Hot 107.5 held their “Summer Jamz 18″ concert at Chene Park featuring Dej Loaf, Jeremih, and some of the city's top local acts. While Detroit is known for motown and even their own sector of hip hop, two R&B starlets, Keyshia Cole and Teyana Taylor swept into town did the most.

Keyshia literally rolled onto stage...on a bicycle...while rocking a pink bathing suit under her long aqua-green & blue tresses.  She thrilled the crowd with a performance of "Rick James" before segueing into a medley of her hits. SIDEBAR - If you squint hard enough, you might catch a view of Keyshia's controversial bikini line tatt.

In addition to Keyshia's revealing bathing suit, fans got an eyeful once Teyana Taylor hit the stage.  During her set, which included hits from her VII album, Teyana stripped down to a sports bra and gave one lucky male fan a sizzling lap dance to her hit "Do Not Disturb."  The sensuous performance clearly showcased two of Teyana's most impressive attributes...her dancing skills and her abs.

If you enjoyed Teyana's lapdance, you can check her out live when she hits your town this summer.  She's going on the road with Chris Brown's  "One Hell Of A Night" tour (alongside Kid Ink, Omarion & Fetty Wap).  The North American leg kicks off in Kansas City, MO on August 12th.

Well Look. At. TinaKnowlesLawson!  Queen T is servng up hair, face, and the crown on the July 2015 cover of EBONY magazine.  Oh, and she's supposedly giving readers the low down on the family dynamic aongst Beyoncé, Solange, Jay Z and the rest of the fam.

Peep Mrs. Knowles Lawson's full cover inside, plus deets on her new marriage and new life...

Newly married Celestine “Tina” Knowles is dangerously and love, and she's talking about it.  For the new July 2015 cover of EBONY Magazine, she rocked a red hot new photoshoot and talked all about the untrue assumptions.  No, she's not a stage mom and no, she's not a kept woman.  She takes a page out of her daughter's book and is Independent.

Here's an excerpt from the EBONY cover story about her fabulous new life:

But Knowles Lawson also matter-of-factly shares that she is not—and has never been—a kept woman. She’s on no one’s payroll, thank you, and she wants it that way. Beyoncé certainly doesn’t pay her, at least not in cash. The breathtakingly gorgeous grandmother does Pilates five days a week and has a ravishing body (not for her age, but period; see exclusive EBONY photographs); is in talks for a TV show about “getting your groove back;” does a daily morning prayer; works with charities to support the homeless; and is a self-taught, avid Black art collector and historian (who owns originals from greats such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett and John Biggers). But this is all her new life. In her old one, crafted out of poverty, she made sandwiches and dresses to sell to classmates, rode motorcycles without a helmet, became a professional makeup artist at 19, and always did—as in did everyone’s hair. Sure, she’s what magazines call “sexy at any age” because of that tight waist, but arguably, it’s as much due to her natural-born artisan and rebel soul.

About that fabulous wedding of hers where Mrs. Tina wed actor Richard Lawson, here's what went down:

To set the stage for her April 2015 nuptials, the family created a private, feature length movie: The Life & Times of BadAss Tenie B & ColdAss Rickey Lee. The release came complete with a red carpet event. Part blaxsploitation spoof, part anthropological family documentary, the film confirms that the story of Knowles Lawson’s life—and her self-possessed “sexy”—began long before the world encountered her gifted offspring. Born in Galveston, Texas, where the Freedman’s Bureau was headquartered after slavery was abolished, and a few hundred miles from mystical New Orleans, where her family is from, one can sense that the newlywed has always conjured a kind of Free Black Woman Magic.

 

Tina is giving some insight into her southern upbringing, and how that famous name "Beyonce" came to be:

In an exclusive EBONY interview, the enigmatic bombshell lovingly references her “first family” of entertainment and opens up about her life.

The last of seven siblings, each of whom has one of four variations of the same last name Boyance (“The hospital told my mama be happy we even got birth certificates.”) “Tenie B,” her nickname since childhood, shares that she was mistreated by Black nuns in elementary school, took off solo to California at 18, and by 34, with little ones in tow, opened one of the biggest, baddest Black hair salons Houston had ever known.

The 2015 American Black Film Festival took over NYC this weekend. And we have a few flicks of some YBF folks from inside and around the film festival. Check them out inside…

This year’s American Black Film Festival (ABFF) invaded NYC for the weekend to showcase an array of black films, new and classic. And of course, YBF folks were on the scene to support.

Yesterday, the Girlfriends Getaway cast, including Garcelle Beauvais, Malinda Williams, Essence Atkins and Terri J. Vaughn was front and center looking gorgeous at the sequel’s NYC premiere held at the AMC Empire.

We are LOVING Garcelle's dress.

Actress Vanessa L. Williams came out to support the ladies and check out the chick flick.

Former “Girlfriends” star Khalil Kain was also in attendance. He snapped it up with the cast on the carpet. 

Famed director John Singleton came out to support the ladies.

And former “The Wire” star Julito McCullum was in the mix.

At another event....

Chocolate City star and model Tyson Beckford was on the scene for the screening of his latest project, Supermodel held at AMC Empire in NYC. Before taking his seat inside, he snapped it up with his Supermodel co-star Angela Simmons.

The fashion flick was written and produced by Datari Turner (who also stars in the film) and directed by Shawn Baker. The remaining cast include Sessilee Lopez, Tatyana Ali, Fat Joe, Angela Simmons, Toccara Jones, Nichole Galicia, Marc John Jefferies, Adam Senn, Melissa De Sousa, Cassandra Freeman, and Roger Guenveur Smith.

Everyone came out to celebrate and watch the film (including us):

Below is a synopsis:

Supermodel is about a young girl from Brooklyn who escapes her neighborhood projects for the Bright lights and glamorous world of fashion. Chloe is quickly becoming one of the most sought after models in the business and is right on the verge of supermodel status, as she struggles to maintain her weight, and dealing with some of the ugly sides of the world's most beautiful industry. With her personal life hanging by a thread, a cheating boyfriend on the verge of NBA stardom, a recovering alcoholic mother, a homeless father, and trying to be there for her closest friends with their own problems. Chloe must balance her volatile personal life and keep a smile on her face as she navigates stardom in the cut throat fashion business. A business where she is constantly reminded of the color of her skin, and drugs, and rival models who want to destroy her.

Sounds interesting.

During the premiere, Tyson shared his thoughts on the disappearance/non-existence of the black model. He said,

"Oh...we're already on our way. If you haven't seen it...we're already on the way out the door. There are less billboards. If you go outside right now, and count how many black images are on a billboard, you'll see for yourself."

"It's just like how in the movie ("Supermodel") they go through the comp cards...I've been there. I've seen it. It's like a secret that's in that industry that they pick and choose who they want."

"I don't know if they don't want us to have as many as them. Or keep us at a certain level, but it's weird. I don't get it. I'm not saying it has to all be us. I''m saying Latin, Asian - there's a whole market that sometimes they don't cater to. Yet we run out there and spend that money. It is what it is."

Former “Basketball Wives” star Jennifer Williams showed off her svelte figure in a white bodycon mini.

At another event....

“Power” star Naturi Naughton posed it up with “Being Mary Jane” actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield as they styled it up in Byron Lars dresses at the closing “Best of the ABFF” Awards Ceremony.

During the ceremony, “black•ish” actress Jennifer Williams was honored with the Career Achievement Award, presented by her co-star Tracee Ellis Ross.

Tracee posted a pic on Instagram saying, “I had the honor of presenting my TV mother in law and all around powerhouse @jeniferlewisforreal with the @americanblackfilmfestival Career Achievement Award last night! With over 300 TV and film appearances, she has had such a storied and incredible career and still so much more to go!! Kudos to you Jenny!! #blackish #ABFF2015”

Backstage....

We spotted fab chicks Salli Richardson Whitfield, Tracee Ellis Ross and Lisa Arrindell Anderson, who won the Best Actress award, backstage at the ABFF end of festival Awards.

At the "Hot In Hollywood" panel....

TheYBF.com’s founder Natasha Eubanks moderated an insightful discussion with a few YBF celebs for the ABFF’s “Hot In Hollywood” panel. “Power” star Naturi Naughton, “Crisis” & “Grey’s Anatomy” star Lance Gross,American Sniper actor Cory Hardrict and “Whitney” star Yaya DaCosta (not pictured) talked about being black in Hollywood.

During the discussion, each of them shared one of their biggest setbacks in their careers and how they got over it.

LanceGross revealed he's quite shy and gets major anxiety from public speaking. He explained, “That was the one thing I had to get over because it was holding me back.”

Yaya Dacosta talked about transitining from odeling to acting stating, “I had a lot of resistance because I participated in ‘Top Model.’ For so long directors and producers wouldn’t take me seriously. I had to pretend it didn’t happen for seven years.”

CoryHardrict opened up about his his biggest set back.  He revealed,“In the beginning of my career I lost my mom in Chicago.” The Brotherly Love star said after her death, he didn’t want to act any longer.  It was his mom's spirit, though, that helped him get ready for a comeback.

Naturi Naughton told the crowd about all that girl group drama.  When she turned 18, she was pushed out of the group 3LW and it was difficult for her to define herself. She said she felt scorned and jaded by the industry and didn’t want anything to do with it.   She went to college (majoring in Political Science at Seaton Hall University), then decided to get back into the limelight. Now, she’s starring on the hit cable series "Power".

Nice!
 

"Being Mary Jane" star Thomas Jones aka “Cutty Buddy” was in the audience and hung out backstage. And he was looking GOOD. He’s gearing up for the release of his new film Runaway Island set to premiere July 25th on TVOne.

A few of the writers from “Empire” did a panel moderated by “Fashion Queens” co-host Bevy Smith. The writers gave the inside scoop on what it’s like writing in an all black but very diverse writer’s room. They said they often get into serious debates on what storylines will make it on the show. The writers also revealed they are each responsible for writing their own script and it goes to a editor to get polished and seemed before it goes into production.

So what is a day in the life in the writer’s room? They revealed they listen to rap music, play videos, watch TV and said it’s a quite family oriented environment. Sounds fun!
 

We were on the scene at the "black•ish" panel at ABFF, and creator Kenya Barris was spilling the tea on Tracee Ellis Ross' (rocking a citron green jumpsuit from Tracey Reese) audition. Apparently, the casting call request was for an "exotic" actress. Moderator Larry Wilmore asked if that was code for "light skin." Kenya said YES while everyone laughed.

Kenya also revealed that when Tracee walked into the audition and was announced, Anthony Anderson was there.  He yelled out "with all that ass!" When Tracee yelled back, they knew she was the right person for the role.

Two of our most well-traveled YBF starlets Rihanna and Solange were spotted out and about on different ends of the globe.  Find out where they were inside...

"American Oxygen" songstress Rihanna was spotted arriving at Narita International Airport in Chiba, Japan today. The stylish diva showed up rocking camouflage pants, a New York Yankees hat, a leather jacket and a Harley Davidson t-shirt.

For the past few months, the Christian Dior spokeswoman has been putting the finally touches on her highly-anticipated eighth studio album, which will feature the singles "BBHMM" and "Four Five Seconds."  As for why RiRi's in Japan, we do know the House of Dior is putting on a repeat show tomorrow:

Final preparations are underway for our AW15-16 repeat show in Tokyo. Stay tuned for exclusive coverage. #DiorTokyohttps://t.co/6sshoU0PPb

— Dior (@Dior) June 15, 2015

And you'll recall that over the weekend, photographers spotted RiRi dining with rumored beau Karim Benzema at Giorgio Baldi for a four hour dinner.   Hmm...although she made the trip to Japan solo, we're gonna keep an eye on LAX to see if Karim joins her later. They seemed quite into one another.

Back in the states... 

It's shaping up to be a very"rich" summer for Solange Knowles Ferguson.  We've noticed that her social calendar has been filled withparty hosting gigs, and we're sure she commands a nice set of coins.  Plus, she's back to DJing as well.  Yesterday, she hit the 1s and 2s at The Surf Lodge in Montauk in the Hamptons.

The swanky summer soiree also featured New Orleans jazz sensation Trumbone Shorty.  We wonder if he'll pop up on Solange's next Saint Records disc?

T.I. and his wife Tiny Harris hit up “The Breakfast Club” this morning where they talked about Tip squashing his beef with Floyd Mayweather Jr., why production on ATL 2 has stopped, guest starring on “Empire” and more. Check it inside….

Rap couple T.I. and Tiny Harris brought the “Family Hustle” to the radio waves this morning stopping by Power 105’s The Breakfast Club to chop it up about a number of things. The couple is on the promo trail for season 5 of their hit family reality show and they brought their son Messiah and Domani along with them.

During their chat, T.I. explained why he decided to squash his on-going beef with undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., why production for ATL 2 has come to a halt, starring on “Empire,” his artist Iggy Azalea cracking under pressure, and how he’s caught in the middle of Lil Wayne and Young Thug’s beef.

Tiny dished on her current relationship with her friend/stylist Shekinah Jo, how she handles hanging out with Shekinah and T.I.'s beef, and their upcoming talk show they’re supposed to do together.

The Harris pair also chatted about Zonnique leaving the house, their new upscale sourthern comfort food restaurant Scales 925, what we can expect from the new season of “Family Hustle” and more.

Below are the highlights:

On squashing his beef with Floyd Mayweather Jr.:
“I congratulated him on a W. I ain’t no hater man. It’s certain rappers I don’t like, I still dance to their records in the club. It’s not even worth to continue to perpetuate a whole bunch of negativity.” He added, “I mean I did bet on [Manny] Pacquiao.”

On ATL 2 production getting delayed:
“No, we did not [finish shooting]. We're held up because we ran into a road block with some clearance issues that I can’t really speak on on camera. I don’t want to throw nobody out there.”

“No, we not going to be on no skates. We ride by the skating rink, we might even walk in but I’m not putting no skates on.”

On starring on “Empire”:
T.I. said he would have starred on the show, but he said he didn’t want to play a rapper. And that’s the reason he didn’t star on the show. He said, “They called and asked me to play a rapper who gets arrested or goes to jail.” He jokingly follows up saying, “I was like ‘I’m saving my biopic for myself. Think I’ll hold that off.”

On being caught in the middle of Lil Wayne and Young Thug beef:

“Wayne is a dear partner of mine. When I spoke to Wee [Pee Wee, a guy T.I. mentored on his show “Road to Redemption], he said he didn’t do it. I don’t know what else to say. It’s unfortunate I’m in the middle of it. Wee is like a son to me and Wayne is like a brother to me so I don’t know how it’s going to fly. I just think it’s a very unfortunate situation. I just don’t want nobody to get hurt.”

On Iggy Azalea:
“She’s still rich. Think about how fast she grew into that position. It went from 0 to 100 real quick, like Drake said. It was going to be something. There was no right way she could assume that position. If it wasn’t the slip up she’s experiencing now, it would be something else. At least she doesn’t do drugs and go to jail.”

Tiny on being friends with Shekinah:
She said she and Shekinah are still best friends. She said she has to keep her husband and her friend separate because T.I. doesn’t care for her. [Remember when she blasted him on Instagam?] She said Shekinah has no problem with him. When asked about “Tiny & Shekinah’s Weave Trip“ getting a new season she revealed she’s not sure if it will return or not, but they do have another project coming up. She said they will be doing a new talk show that won’t be about celebs, but geared towards regular people’s lives.

On shooting a new film with Jamie Foxx:
“We're about to start in a week or so, it's called Sleepless Nights.”

On being a liability as a Hollywood star:
“I think they still lean on that as an excuse, but I don’t think it’s a valid one.”

The twosome also talked about “Sisterhood of Hip Hop,” the OMG Girlz breaking up, Tiny’s singing career, Messiah’s upcoming movie, and T.I. joining forces with Jeezy on an album.

“Family Hustle” airs every Monday at 9:30pm ET on VH1.

In the latest candids roundup, Karrueche Tran heads to Miami while Queen Latifah goes shopping with her girlfriend.  More inside...

"Single Lady" Karrueche Tran left all that LA stress behind when she decided to head down to Miami, Florida today.

KT and her friends took a swim in the ocean and also sipped on cocktails served in coconut shells.

Karrueche, rocking a cute printed one piece, is all smiles now that she's left her ugly "Chris Brown" stage behind.

While we aren't sure if she'll ever "officially" leave Chris alone, we at least saw her flex her backbone muscles a few days ago.  She "read" Chris for filth over Instagram and let him know....she's booked and doesn't have time for his aggressive behavior and selfish ways.  Well done!

In New York...

Bessie star Queen Latifah was spotted walking through The Village with rumored partner Eboni Nichols.

While Queen has not done the whole coming out thing, she has certainly carried on with her relationships, unbothered. She and any rumored boos hold hand in public, touch affectionately and more.

Two YBF kids are celebrating their birthdays today! Cutie North West turns 2 today, so to celebrate, the little tot and her family celebrated with Mickey and co. Also, Nas’ daughter Destiny Jones has officially entered womanhood…she turns 21 today. More inside….

Can you believe little North West is 2-years-old already? Feels like yesterday when she was born. And now, she’s growing up right before our eyes.

Parentals Kanye West and a pregnant Kim Kardashian West celebrated Nori (looking adorable in her mommy Maison Michel Minnie Mouse ears and face paint) turning 2-years-old at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Monday. Joining in on the fun were Kim’s sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and cousins Penelope & Mason Disick.

Looks like somebody didn't want to leave!

An eyewitness at the park tells US Weekly the Wests rented out a section of the theme park to host a private Minnie Mouse themed bash at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree in Frontierland, which included a stage and jumbo sized balloons spelling out her name.

Enjoying their day out at the park, the Kardashian-West Klan hopped on a carousel ride. After the ride, the birthday girl was treated to a private Disney Princess meet-and-greet session. Aww...

And look who else was there....

Nori’s 17-year-old aunt Kylie Jenner brought her rumored boo 25-year-old Tyga along with his 2-year-old son King Cairo. Hmph.

They're out here like one big happy family. We guess.

Peep this dose of adorableness! Little Nori busting out her dance moves:

She captioned on Instagram, "Some moments in life you will never get back, turning 21 is one of them. Happy Birthday To Me!!!! #June15 #Birthday #21".

To celebrate, she partied it up and rang in her b'day on a rooftop in NYC with friends Sunday night.

On Monday, her actual birthday....

The Lipmatic creator hit the NYC streets to shop it up and have some fun with her cousins. While in the taxi, she shared a video of her excitement about turning 21:

We remember those days.  Fun times. Happy Birthday Destiny!

BONUS:

Looks like "Empire" star Terrence Howard became a dad (again) under the radar. While doing promo at The Monte Carlo TV Festival in Monaco, the 46-year-old star confirmed his wife Miranda Howard gave birth to their son....in May!

His name? Qirin Love Howard. Terrence said he's named after the qilin, a mythic Chinese creature.

He gushed to Access Hollywood,

"He's beautiful and strong and a whirlwind and my wife is so happy."

This is the couple's first child together and Terrence's fourth. He also has a few grandchildren as well.

The "Empire" star also dished on being on baby duty at night, while she handles him during the day. He explained,

"She has to be up with him all throughout the day. I wasn't born with boobs, I've started growing some recently," he said with a laugh. "She has the boobage and nurses him during the day. So, I pull night duty, so that she can sleep and I keep him with me and will take some of the pre-pumped, you know, breast cheese, whatever you call it."

Oh Terrence...

Congrats to the couple!

Chris Brown is in serious daddy-mode, or whatever, banning everything that isn’t kid-friendly from his tour bus. Get the deets on his new restrictions with baby Royalty on board inside….

R&B bad boy Chris Brown picked up his daughter Royalty yesterday to travel with him on his tour bus…but, things won’t be poppin’ off and getting crazy on his bus. There are some new strict rules while his baby girl is on board.  Allegedly.

TheYBF.com heads down Lover's Lane today where one couple is planning a white wedding, an ex-wife is demanding PLENTY of alimony and a distressed mother-in-law has filed a restraining order against her daughter's new hubby. More inside...

The first home we'll visit on Lover's Lane has been red flagged by the LAPD.  We'll explain... 

A few days ago, we brought you the shocking news about "Saved By The Bell" star Lark Voorhies'surprise wedding in Las Vegas in April.  And now we've got some scandalous news involving her new husband.

Lark is now married to Jimmy Eugene Green, a man who claims to be a music engineer.  Interestingly, others claim he's one of the Bloods. We do not and cannot confirm or deny, but sources are making the statements.

And if that isn't scary enough, his mother-in-law Patricia Voorhies has filed a restraining order against him.  She says he throws gang signs at her during their arguments and curses her out!

The situation is really nasty because Lark and Jimmy are living at Patricia's home. You'll recall that Patricia has spoken out about Lark's bipolar disorder in the past, so it's only natural that she'd want to keep her close to home. But she sure as hell ain't interested in Jimmie and his ish.

Here's an example: According to TMZ, Patricia wants Jimmie OUT of her house at night. He can come see Lark....but he needs to crash at his own place. Well, one night Jimmy fell asleep at Pat's home and when she confronted him he told her, "You motherf**king woke me up, ain't that a bitch."  

Oh no he didn't! 

Because Patricia doesn't tolerate disrespect, she got a temporary restraining order to keep Jimmy 100 yards away from her and her home. SMH....

Meanwhile, Jimmy did indeed confirm to TMZ that he's a member of the Bloods. But, he says he's never threatened his mother-in-law. SIDE-EYE. And, he's got a 2012 arrest warrant for disorderly conduct and threatening to intimidate in Tucson, Arizona.

The next house on Lover's Lane is a broken home.  Unfortunately, Chris and Malaak Compton Rock officially split a few months ago (after 20 years of marriage) and now they're gearing up for a legal battle over family finances.

The New York Post obtained a copy of Malaak's divorcing filings and they revealed Chris' estimated worth ($70 Million) and the Rock's lavish lifestyle (along with the couple’s kids — Lola Simone, 13, and Zahra Savannah, 11, they live in a posh Alpine, NJ home and share an 8-figure bank account)!

The Bergen County court filing also revealed that the couple have already agreed to 50-50 child custody and their pre-nup expired (because they hit the 20-year mark of marriage).

Basically, Malaak wants a settlement “commensurate with the marital standard of living” she's accustomed to because of all her child-rearing and charitable endeavors.

Hmm....20 years and 2 kids, does she deserve to get what she wants?  Speak on it!
 

Or whatever you want to call it.  In fact, a wedding is on the way. Iggy Azalea (engaged to baller Nick Young) hinted at her upcoming wedding plans via Twitter.  When a fan asked about her life with Nick, she replied 'great! already planning the big day'.

Another fan asked about her wedding attire, and she tweeted, 'hmmmm im def wearing white or ivory. i do want a pretty traditional style wedding'.

SIDEBAR - It looks like the wedding will be getting Iggy's full attention since her national tour was postponed/cancelled a few weeks ago. How convenient.

Supermodel Iman turns 60 this month. And she is f'in fabulous.  Check out her Vanity Fair Italia cover and spread inside, and the secret to her flawless look....

For the July 2015 issue of Vanity Fair Italia, Iman Mohamed is covering the issue with high fashion, plus she's serving face and hair for days.

If you can believe it, this woman is 59, and she turns 60 on July 25th.  Were not sure what she's eating and drinking, but chick needs to bottle it up, label it and sell that ish for the masses.  No matter the price.

The Somali-American fashion model, actress and entrepreneur is giving all kinds of life in her newest editorial  And f you're wondering her secret to flawlessness at this age, she told the mag:

"I go to the gym, I am attentive to the diet. And I'm not complaining of the extra pounds, at least a couple, because they act as a natural botox. When women get older the first place you see it is the face that becomes too thin, worn out, tired. And then they go to get botox, but for me the best remedy is a bit 'overweight'."

Interesting.  Check out the rest of the spread below:

Read the snippets from her cover story HERE where she talks about high heels (and age) causing damage to her feet, plus how she stll gushes over her husband David Bowie...

And a few BTS shots so you know that skin is real:

Sooo….Chinx Drugz’s wife turned widow, Janelli Caceres, attended her slain husband’s sidechick’s baby shower recently. No…seriously. And she said she’s holding it down for her husband’s legacy. More inside….

New details are emerging about “Coke Boy” rapper Chinx Drugz. As you may have alread heard, he impregnanted a woman by the name of Patricia Muratovic (aka Trish) before his untimely death last month. Now, if you haven’t heard, Chinx has a wife and mother of his three children named Janelli Caceres and he was also rumored to be dating actress Malika Haqq.

Recently, Trish threw a baby shower for her unborn child, allegedly by Chinx, and his wife Janelli was in attendance with her three children. Janelli took a picture with Trish, which she posted to her Instagram and explained why she decided to attend the bay shower. She basically said she's doing it all for Chinx's legacy:

So it appears the unborn baby is a boy and will be named Liam. And it looks like he will be welcomed with open arms from his extended family. Once folks started criticizing her for going to the shower, she clapped back saying:

"I find it crazy how WOMEN can think my choice is wrong or weird! It be the same women who are raising fatherless children or have been caught up in a similar situation n [and] would condone their man not taking care of his responsibilities just so they can fell [sic] better!! Not me!! I don't condone dead beats! China took care of his kids n [and] he had no choice but to be there for this one whether he wanted to or not!! He fckd up.. but that baby is innocent! In the end the bigger picture is his kids all share the same story- Their dad was murdered when they were just a child! All they have in this world is each other! I'm blessed, I'm strong and I'm growing! #takenotes"

Chile....

Thoughts?  Are you about that life?
