Thanks to Nicki Minaj’s bootylicious wax figure, Madame Tussauds has beefed up security to keep fans from touching the figure inappropriately. Meanwhile, 50 Cent is back to his trolling ways and Diddy is his current target…once again. More inside….

We kinda saw this one coming.

Since Madame Tussauds unveiled Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” wax figure in their wax museum earlier this month, fans have been getting extra close and sexually personal with the figure.

In the display, Nicki is featured on all fours with her “ass”ets perched in the air replicating a scene from the provocative “Anaconda” video. Fans passing by the exhibit couldn’t keep their hands off the Young Money rapper’s wax figure, fulfilling fantasies they’ve only dreamed about.

Even Nicki has been privy of the inappropriate pics her fans have been posting, reposting a few to her Instagram account:

She captioned, "Ok u know da fuq wut" followed by laughing emojis.

And that's not the only one....you can check a few more gasp-worhty flicks HERE, HERE and HERE.

Well…Madame Tussauds has caught wind of what visitors have been doing to the wax figure. And now, they have beefed up security to pump the brakes on the inappropriate activity. The wax museum sent out an official letter detailing how they plan to crack down on the madness. It reads:

Statement regarding Nicki Minaj’s Madame Tussauds wax figure pic.twitter.com/tnnyZL0BNX

— Madame Tussauds LV (@TussaudsVegas) August 18, 2015

"We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj's new wax figure. Madame Tussands attractions are interactive, immersive experiences, and our vistors are generally respectful towards the wax figures.

It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologize for any offense this has caused. We do have staff monitoring guest behavior in the attraction and do our utmost to ensure our wax figures are treated respectfully, but on this occasion clearly one of our hosts was not present.

We are taking immediate steps to ensure more staff are present in this area and that the set around this particular is redesigned so that a picture like this cannot be taken again.”

We're not surprised. What did they think people were going to do with Nicki's cakes on full display?

In funnier news...

Your favorite social media troll is back to his antics. For his newest social media slander, 50 Cent is coming for Diddy…again.

The “Power” star and executive producer serves up hilarious commentary on Diddy’s new video “Finna Get Loose,” featuring Pharrell Williams. And of course, there’s a convenient product placement of his EFFEN vodka. Check it above.

It’s interesting to note, while Diddy was chopping it up with Power 105’s The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Fif sent a case of EFFEN vodka to the studio for Diddy (after the Bad Boy honcho sent him a lifetime supply of Ciroc for his birthday). During the chat, Diddy (who is going by Puff Daddy these days) said,

"I welcome him into the game. It's good to see somebody of my color out there representing in this field. Hopefully, he appreciates me opening up the doors for him continuously [laughs]. I sent him a lifetime supply of Ciroc, so I appreciate his gesture. When you're first starting out in these little companies, they don't really have a lot of supply. So, that's with homeboy's vodka, sometimes maybe you can only send a case."

Oooo...the shade of it all.

A few of your faves made the TV rounds last night and this AM and made some pretty interesting revelations.  Check out Ciara, Taraji P. Henson and Steph & Riley Curry inside...

Ciara hit CBS "This Morning" looking like a sexy secretary.  She talked about her album Jackie, what's been happening with her baby's father Future since he lashed out about her new boyfriend Russell Wilson being around their son, and celibacy.

Host Gayle King asked Ciara what she thought about Future and other men publicly denouncing Russell for being involved in Baby Future's life.  Ciara revealed the double standard she sees saying,

"It's been very interesting what a lot of guys have to say. I feel like, in a sense, it's a double standard. At one point in time when [Future and I] were together, I took care of his kids as well at a very young time on our relationship. He actually has four and one is adopted. I was involved very early in a stage of us getting to know each other. It's like, what's the difference here? For the men that were outspoken, wouldn't you want someone to love on the child? It's a child we're talking about. That's the thing people have to think about. We're the adults in the situation. Really, this is my child here."

She's definitely got a point!

Ciara also revealed Future isn't trying to work this out amicably saying,

"I did reach out to my son's father for him and Russell to speak.  But he didn't want to talk to me.  We didn't get to talk."

Interestingly, Ciara said she doesn't want to reveal the exact date she and Russell got together, but she did say they're been together over 6 months.  Now about Russ telling the world about their celibacy, Ciara said she's OK with it.  And here's why:

"It was one of those things, it was like an organic conversation he was having.  I don't think he expected to talk about it either.  I guess he was just speaking to the reality of what really is going on. It was at church.  And the cool thing is to be able to share out journey with people like us.  It's a geat challenge, I can definitely say that.  But it's awesome because we really get to learn and challenge ourselves. 

We get to know each other and build a foundation.  We are Christians, we love God and believe in God.  That part (sex) is the cherry on top.  Sometimes that can cloud your emotions and you might not see a person for who they truly are."  

For now, she'll just stick to sexing up the camera in her steamy videos like "Dance Like We're Making Love." 

Check out the full interview below:

T.I. and Tiny did date night at a swanky Italian eatery in Beverly Hills while Kevin Hart and his fiancée Eniko Parrish hit the L.A. party scene. Meanwhile, Morgan Freeman was spotted for the first time since the fatal stabbing of his step-granddaughter. Pics inside…

Grand Hustle rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny are still all wrapped up in love after celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary on vacation a few weeks ago.

Last night, the Harrises made time for a cute date night at celeb hotspot Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills to dine on some Italian eats.

Last week, the Grand Hustle honcho was making rounds and hitting up meetings with Common and Usher in Chicago. Tip revealed he was conducting meetings with big wigs from global corporations such as Starbucks, JCPenny, CHASE and other Fortune 500 companies.

His plan? Paving a way to create jobs for the youth. Gotta love it!

Kevin Hart and his fiancée Eniko Parrish were spotted decked out in all black making their way to 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood to party it up last night. The lovebirds were ready to "turn up" after much rest and relaxation on a romantic couples getaway in Mexico and Napa for Eniko's birthday yesterday.

Kevin and Eniko won't be in L.A. for long. The funnyman is set to hit the stage at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY for his "What Now" comedy tour stop tomorrow night (August 20th).

In sadder news....

Hollywood veteran Morgan Freeman made his first appearance since the fatal stabbing of his 33-year-old step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines.

It’s being reported the budding actress’ live-in boyfriend, 30-year-old Lamar Davenport, stabbed her to death on the sidewalk in Harlem last Sunday. New reports reveal she was stabbed 15 times in what witnesses describe as an “exorcism.” Heartbreaking.

The pain in his eyes is breaking our hearts! We send our prayers.

The production crew was seen offering up their condolences after wrapping up a day of filming.

Hours after E’Dena’s death, her boyfriend Lamar was charged with murder. Since the brutal murder, details about his past have surfaced. PEOPLE dug up a few tidbits from his troubled past, which entails:

In 2010, he was charged with petit larceny in New York. That same year, he was charged with possession of marijuana. (Both charges were later dropped.) In 2014, he was arrested by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies and charged with cocaine possession. He agreed to go to rehab, but skipped out on a February court hearing. A judge signed a bench warrant for his arrest.

There were other issues, as well. Last January, he was taken to a Pennsylvania hospital for a drug-related incident.

Lamar is currently under psychiatric hold, but was arraigned from his hospital bed today. He’s due back in court on Friday, August 21st.

We're keeping Morgan Freeman and his family in our prayers.

Tami Roman had a little altercation with her "Marriage Boot Camp" co-star Aubrey O’Day during a taping of “Watch It With." Find out why she went off on the former Danity Kane member inside….

Reality TV star Tami Roman has been known to be a “bully” of sorts after numerous run-ins and fights with people on different reality shows. And most recently, she was involved in an altercation with her “Marriage Boot Camp” co-star Aubrey O’Day that had folks’ tongues wagging that the old Tami had returned. But she says not so.

Chopping it up in a telephone interview with SpokenEnt, the “BBW” starlet explained exactly why she slapped Aubrey’s phone out her hand during a taping of “Watch It With,” where a few cast mates from the show re-watch episodes and give their commentary.

If you missed the clip, check it below:

While she explained herself in a Facebook post following the airing of the show, she goes in depth about what went down between she and Aubrey in that moment. In a nutshell, Tami claims they had been filming for 12 hours straight and she started to get fed up when production kept being delayed for Aubrey to handle business on her cellphone. She explained,

“When people see us on the show, they think that movement happened right then in that time frame. But really, we had been taping for 12 hours. So throughout the day, she was on the phone throughout the day. And every time she would get on the phone, we would have to stop, we would have to cut and wait for her to get off the phone. So that just made the day super long when it didn’t necessarily have to be. At that moment we were reaching the 12th hour mark. So, I was ready to go home.”

It definitely looked like the old Tami Roman surfaced for a second. But Tami assures she’s not that girl anymore and she just got caught up in a moment of frustration. She said

“It was just a moment of frustration. I honestly didn’t think they were going to show that. Then when I realized they showed it, I felt like I had to give an explanation because I don’t want people thinking ‘Oh, she’s still lashing out at people.’ That was just a honest moment of frustration and I think if anybody had been in that situation, sitting for that amount of time in some Louboutins that hurt like hell, it could have been that moment for anybody.”
 

Bloop!

Also in the interview, Tami talks about if wedding bells will be ringing soon for she and her boyfriend Reggie Youngblood, her non-existent relationship with former “BBW” co-star Evelyn Lozada and her upcoming reality show centered around her life rumored to be titled “The Roman Empire.”

BET premiered its newest show “Punk’d” last night, pulling pranks on Chris Brown and K. Michelle. Find out how they tricked the R&B singers inside….

After “punking” everyone into believing BET’s “Uncut” would be returning, the network debuted its brand new season of “Punk’d” last night. And for the premiere episode, Chris Brown and K. Michelle were the celebrity targets.

Breezy, who was “punk’d” once before on the MTV series, got a fast one pulled on him thanks to the help of rapper French Montana. Chris and French were on the set shooting for a new music video when a young girl comes up to Chris and starts chatting with him.

After Breezy asked a few questions, he realizes the young girl is on the set…by herself! Chris instantly goes into daddy-mode as he shouts orders to the production crew to keep her safe and to call the police. Breezy goes back to shooting scenes, taking his eyes off her while, when he noticed the little girl had disappeared. Royalty’s father goes into a frenzy trying to locate the little girl. (He also mentions Royalty was on his tour bus at the time). After a few minutes of questioning folks and searching for the kiddie, they finally revealed he just got “PUNK’D!”

No judgment here…but the plot of his prank is VERY interesting. Public Relations 101?

In another instance, R&B songbird K. Michelle got tricked after an Uber driver discovered his girlfriend was cheating on him. In the clip, the Uber driver answers his phone through the speakers of his ride. K and co. hear a conversation had by his girlfriend where she’s right in the middle of cheating on him with another man. K’s Uber driver is distraught and pulls over, despite K repeatedly telling him NOT to. After he hops out, the “Love Em All” singer hops in the front seat of the Uber driver’s ride and takes off! Ha!

Check out the full episode below:
 

You can catch "Punk'd" Tuesday nights at 10:30p/9:30c on BET.

Ice Cube and his son O’Shea Jackson Jr. bring the father-son cuteness in a new interview where they ask each other questions about their blockbuster film Straight Outta Compton. In music news, Tank has a new track featuring Wale titled “You Don’t Know.” Check it inside…

Straight Outta Compton producer Ice Cube and his actor son O’Shea Jackson Jr. are riding on cloud nine after a fantastic debut weekend at the box office, bringing in $60.5 million.

In a cute father-son interview for Noisey’s ‘Back & Forth,’ Ice and O’Shea sitdown to chop it up about how they felt about the N.W.A. film, what it was like working with one another and their favorite/worst scenes in the film.

The filmmaker revealed he didn’t want anyone else to portray him other than his son. He already knew who he wanted to play him but he said he was just nervous O’Shea wouldn’t want to do the film. The hardest scene to watch for Ice was the moment his bandmate Eazy-E found out he had contracted HIV. But, he said his favorite scene in the film was when he went into Priority Records busting up ish with a bat and when they performed on stage in Detroit in the opening scene.

O’Shea shared he was nervous when his father asked him to do the role but he felt responsible to portray his father in the right light. He talked about the moment he realized he was comfortable with his portrayal of his father and how he felt when he saw himself on screen for the first time.

Check out their back and forth below:
 

In new music....

Tank is back with a new sultry single for the ladies. Joining forces with MMG rapper Wale, the R&B crooner brings “You Don’t Know,” the first single from his upcoming seventh studio album titled “SLP2.” And we’re feelin’ the Patti LaBelle “If Only You Knew” reference.

In between shooting scenes for TVOne’s “Born Again Virgin,” the actor/singer has been putting work with Chris Brown, Wale and more for his new album. And we can expect to heat his newest musical offering this winter. In the meantime, check out the ballad above.

In today’s columbusing news….ELLE Canada magazine is declaring dashikis as the NEWEST “it” item. Yes NEWEST.   Speak on it inside….

ELLE magazine is back at it again!

Last year, the magazine published an article announcing Timbaland boots as the “hot NEW fall fashion trend.” Now, they’ve moved on to another piece of black culture that they think is NEW…dashikis.
 

Someone over at ELLE Canada magazine thought it was a good idea to declare dashikis as the newest “it” item. Oh? They say the tribal printed shirt, originating in West Africa, is the hottest new trend this season. And they collected snapshots for a slideshow of celebs rocking dashikis.

Hmmm…so they’re clearly unaware that people have been wearing dashikis…for CENTURIES. There’s absolutely NOTHING new about a dashiki. And if we're going to attempt to co-sign on the beauty of dashikis, let's not skip over the cultural relevance and history of them as well, k, Elle?

So they just discovered dashikis and now it’s a hot fashion trend?  Will the fashion and magazine industry say anything for a marketable profit? Are there any black people working in the ELLE offices? How does this keep happening?
 

Some would say it's quite disrespectful of them to consider a culture a new trend. Needless to say, Twitter started going in on the publication and they have since deleted the tweet, but the slideshow of celebs rocking dashikis is still up.

Lordt…make it all stop. THOUGHTS?

Has Kenya Moore found herself a new boo after that tragic "situationship" with her ex-“Millionaire Matchmaker” boo? It appears so. Peep the coupledom pics of Ms. Twirl and her possible new love interest Eugene Casciaro inside….

Well…it looks like Kenya Moore just sealed the deal on her new storyline for the upcoming 8th season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Meet truck dealership owner Eugene Casciaro. Yesterday, we brought you pics of the “RHOA” beauty’s haircare launch in ATL and we noticed a man on Kenya’s arm. Nothing from the pics screamed they were dating, but now we have the two on our coupledom radar…after we did a little digging.

It appears the 44-year-old former Miss USA queen and the 40-year-old entrepreneur are getting quite cozy with one another. It’s clear he will at least make a cameo on one episode of “RHOA,” since cameras were rolling during her haircare launch a few days ago. But, he may be getting extra camera time as a new love interest of Kenya’s.

On Facebook, a friend asked Eugene if he would be making any appearances on the show, in which he responded, “Not my style to be on the show but yes I'm in an episode that filmed already... You just never know how they'll spin things ...”

Hmmm…
 

And they're not just spending time together in front of the cameras. Earlier this month, Eugene posted a few pics of himself and Kenya in the stands while viewing a professional baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Atlanta Braves in ATL. The twosome was all smiles as they snapped up a few coupledom selfies.

Eugene owns his own truck dealership, Nvision Truck Sales Inc, based in Atlanta. And we hear he makes a pretty penny from his business. From what we can tell, he’s a manly man who likes to enjoy outdoor and masculine activities, including monster fishing, hitting the gun range and he also enjoys golfing.

While it all looks good on paper...dude does have a rap sheet:

According to MugShots.com, back in 2009, Eugene was arrested in Dekalb County after being charged with a few felonies and misdemeanors, including obstructing a law enforcement officer, criminal damage to property, theft by taking and simple battery. Yikes!

He was jailed on July 13, 2009 then released the next day after posting a $15,200 bail. No word (that we could fine) on if he was actually convicted of those crimes.

Hmm...so what do you think...is this Kenya's NEW man? OR is he just part of a possible new storyline?

Jennifer Hudson's new haircut fits her fabulously, but what made her go for such a drastic look out of the blue?  Find out hat she said about it inside, plus news about her playing Aretha Franklin....

The big chop is working wonders for actress/singer Jennifer Hudson.  If you were just as shocked as we were once she made her big reveal, we've got her reasoning why.

J-Hud was visiting the Conde Naste/VOGUE offices in Germany when she posted up the first pics, and she told the staff she chopped off her hair herself.  yep, no help from any celebrity hairstylists.  She went solo dolo for this mission.

Us Weeklyreports that her inspiration came from a legend in the game:

As for the why, the Oscar-winning star, 33, said her inspiration was none other than the iconic model and singer Grace Jones, who first made the "flat-top fade" a fad in the '70s and '80s.

Hudson described her hair as "always changing," but the most recent cause for her new style was her move to NYC to star in The Color Purple on Broadway.

It doesn't look like the big name roles are slowing down anytime soon either.  The Wrap recently reported that while Aretha Franklin herself said she wanted Halle Berry to play her on screen in her biopic, it looks like J-Hud is about to nab the role.

The site states:

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is in discussions to play Aretha Franklin in a biopic that “Straight Outta Compton” producer Scott Bernstein is developing under his SMB Films banner, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

Hudson has not been officially cast as there is no deal in place, but a representative for the “Dreamgirls” star has acknowledged that conversations have taken place.

The Untitled Aretha Franklin Project, which has been in the works for several years, will chronicle the “Respect” singer’s rise to fame in the ’60s and ’70s and delve into her relationship with her abusive ex-husband Ted White.

J-Hud as young ReRe?  Yes please!

To spice things up a bit, Lauren will star as Franklin’s party-girl aunt, Louise Saint.

Well, hello there! Today may be #ThrowbackThursday, but we have some NEW chocolately eye candy for you. If you love a well manicured man, this is for you.  Come inside to meet fine up-and-coming model Donnell Blaylock Jr. inside….

Ladies! Grab a friend and pass the news after checking out these titillating pictorials.

We love a fresh face around these parts. And when he’s FIONE and intelligent, it makes us crush even harder!

Meet 23-year-old model/real estate agent Donnell Blaylock Jr. He’s an aspiring male model looking to take the industry by storm. And from the looks of it, he won’t have a problem doing so.

The HOT young model, hailing from Grand Rapids, MI, spends long evenings in the gym and even longer nights in the office. He’s a total gym junkie, working hard to keep those muscles bulging and those abs tight and toned.

When he isn’t working on further perfecting his amazing bod, he’s feeding his mind. He’s currently working on perfecting his skills as a real estate agent/investor, reading tons of books while brainstorming and strategizing his next move.

Donnell is also an animal lover who has a precious cat and doggie at home. Aww...

Oh, and he's SINGLE!

Based on our chat with Mr. Donnell, here are few more deets to get better acquainted with the budding model:

Hobbies:"I’m a gym fanatic. I probably workout about 4 or 5 times a week. I have to be doing something active. Fitness is like the greatest therapy there is, in my opinion. If I’m not working out specifically, I’m shooting ball with the fellas or shooting pool with the guys. Oh yeah, I’m infatuated with cars. I could be in the middle of a deep conversation with someone and a car that I like drives by and I just blank out."

Music: When it comes to music I like a little bit of everything, although hip hop and rnb are my favorites. I always have Nipsey Hussle’s Crenshaw mixtape on repeat as well as Travis Scott’s music too.  Then there are times when I’ll randomly throw on some Kings of Leon. I just appreciate music in general.

Celebrity Crush: I’m in love with Paula Patton. She is the sexiest woman on earth in my eyes.

Movie Credentials: Nothing yet, but things have been happening so fast lately that I wouldn’t be surprised if that was my next calling. That would be amazing if it were to happen!

Magazine/Publications: I haven’t done anything with magazines or publications but I have a feeling that something is coming my way very soon.

We will definitely keep you posted on this hottie.

If you’re looking to nab LeBron James to endorse your product on social media, you better be ready to have his money. Find out how much it costs for King James to co-sign a product on Twitter inside….

When you’re LeBron James, doing anything outside of perfecting your brand will cost those looking for a co-sign a nice chunk of change. I mean…he is one of the top NBA stars of our generation.

With the advancement of technology, comes new ways of bringing in revenue. And one company, Opendorse, is working with athletes to help monetize digital and social media campaigns. According to Opendorse, if you wanted King James to promote your product on his page it would cost you $139,474 PER tweet!

That’s right. In order for LeBron to share anything with his 23.2 million fans it’s going to cost. In fact, LeBron has the highest tweet value of any U.S. athlete. Take that, take that.

Opendorse CEO Blake Lawrence explained to ESPN:

"We're basically saying that the value of one LeBron tweet is worth $140,000. And with that, you will reach 23 million people. It would cost you five times more to reach that many people with a TV ad."

Following behind LeBron, it'll cost you $66,553 for Kevin Durant to shoot a tweet , Kobe Bryant will set you back $42,389 per tweet, Floyd Mayweather’s tweets cost $34,924 and Dwight Howard will run you $34,290 a tweet.

So it’s true. Twitter followers = dollar signs….if you play the game correctly and have some type of talent.

Speaking of LeBron….

The Cleveland Cavaliar is currently in the Phillipines putting on a show. The NBA superstar is overseas as a part of a NIKE sponsored tour. So for today’s festivities, LeBron makes a cameo on the “Nike Rise” reality series, a weekly reality show in the Philippines that focuses on finding talented basketball players and developing their skills.

Check out King James flossing his skills below:

Nice!

In TV news, the first episode of Executive Producer LeBron's STARZ series "Survivor's Remorse" will premiere season 2 on Saturday, August 22nd.

The pretty former basketball wife is keeping it golden on the cover in a one of a kind metal corset by Fiori Couture and a hand beaded Adolfo Sanchez gown.

If you've been watching "BBW: LA," you know Malaysia is a mother of three who is trying to find her footing again after her divorce.  While navigating her volatile relationships with Jackie Christie and a few of the newbies, she's trying to become an entrepreneur.  So she sat down with Kontrol to discuss relationships, motherhood, and how she plans to expand the “Malaysia” empire.

Here are the highlights:

On her Bedding Line with Hedgecock Creed:“My bedding line is pretty much modeled after fashion, “she said. “What I did was take a piece of everything in my fashion life. One of my favorite pieces is called the Chin Chilly. It is faux chinchilla, and is mimicking a chinchilla coat. It has leather piping and is unisex,” she continues with pure excitement. “Everything is top quality, at an affordable rate where everyone can have a piece of fashion on their bed.

On Her Style: She describes her sense of fashion as, “Shabby, because on some days when you see me I look like a hobo, I have my Uggs on and no makeup, fresh face and a ponytail. When I clean up though, I clean up. Very chic with clean lines, not too much, simple.” And when Malaysia needs to kill them on the red carpet, she rocks with none other than the late Alexander McQueen. “My go to designer for the red carpet would be Alexander McQueen. The Queen collection is so easy for me to work with. He does a lot of color and contouring. It clings to my body,” she said.

The #PureGlamour Issue is available on stands and at a Barnes and Noble on September 4, 2015.

BONUS:

About those rumors that Malaysia is now dating Mally Mal of "LAHH," she says it's not true.  She posted the above pic last night from her cover unveiling party they were spotted at together saying:

I'm happily and absolutely 100% single. I was blessed to have many of my good friends come out last night and celebrate my birthday and cover of Kontrol magazine. I have a great group of friends that support me. First and foremost I'm focused on being a mom, myself and my growing business ventures. "I was So afraid of snakes before it was so great to have had a friend who owns one".

So that's that.

ThaDogg Pound rapper Daz Dillinger plans to make a biopic that picks up where Straight Outta Compton ended.  If you want to know the story of Death Row Records and Tha Dogg Pound come inside...

If you're a long-time fan of Tha Dogg Pound (Daz Dillinger, Kurupt), there's a good chance that you'll get to see their story on the big screen.  As Straight Outta Compton, the story of NWA, continues to break records at the box office, it's creating a large buzz around the West Coast rap scene and folks are trying to churn out rap music biopics.

During a recent chat with TMZ, rapper Daz Dillinger revealed that he's working on a new project that will dramatize the rise of Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Nate Dogg, Warren G.and other Death Row legends. He's tentatively named the project "Dogg Pound 4 Life."  Of course.......Tha DPG's music will be the film's primary focus.

While describing his vision, Daz told TMZ that HIS film won't whitewash gang violence and its impact on the rap industry; but, he failed to mention if it will "whitewash" violence against women (e.g Dee Barnes, Michel'le).  As far as casting goes, Daz says Dr. Dre's son, Curtis Young, is on board to play the legendary beatmaker.  Curtis definitely has the look of his father down to a tee.  Check out pics of him promoting his pops' movie HERE.

So....how "official" is this project? Daz claims Ice Cube has given his stamp of approval.  He told VLAD TV,

 “I was talking to Ice Cube and he was telling me about the N.W.A movie. He was like, ‘When Eazy [E] dies, that leaves it open up for part two.’ And that’s where we come in. Because when Eazy dies, it was us. We gon’ make our own [film] called ‘DPG For Life.’ Because when Eazy died, Suge Knight and them still around, Dr. Dre, and the story from there, what happens after that? We up next in there, we just putting it together.”

We're here for it when this happens.  But until Daz gets back to us with a director and producer attached to this "project," we will just make a note of it.

Teyana Taylor wants y’all to know she is NOT pregnant…despite what some blogs are reporting. Find out how she shut down the pregnancy chatter and hear her boyfriend Iman Shumpert’s new track “290 West” where he’s calling out all freeloaders inside…..

Unconfirmed rumors began floating around on the Internet yesterday claiming R&B singer Teyana Taylor was pregnant with her NBA baller boo Iman Shumpert’s baby. But Teyana quickly shut that ish down.

According to The Shade Room, she was supposedly 4 months along and said would officially announce she was pregnant after coming off of Chris Brown’s “One Hell Of A Nite” tour. The site reported (and deleted) on Instagram:

Teyana Taylor is currently four months pregnant with Iman Shumpert’s baby. She’s been telling close friends and family and plans to announce the news after the Chris Brown Tour that she’s currently on! You can tell from her Instagram that she hasn’t been posting pictures that show her belly for the last five weeks, we’re told that’s because she’s already starting to show! Congrats to the couple on their new bundle of joy!

Well…the “Maybe” songstress squashed the pregnancy rumors…with receipts:
 

She posted up a picture of her rock hard abs on Instagram with the caption, “Thursday no throwback bih #RuthlessRecords #StraightOuttaSources”.

Bloop!

In music news...

Cleveland Cavaliers player Iman Shumpert does more than dribble a ball down the court. Dude also likes to rap. Who knew?

Yesterday, Teyanas boyfriend released a new track titled “290 West” and he’s calling out anyone looking to hit him up for some money. Why? Maybe because he recently signed a lucrative 4-year $40 million contract with the Cavs. Folks must be coming out the woodwork trying to get a piece of the pie. And Iman isn’t having it.

On the track, Iman calls out family, friends and anyone else who’s looking for a handout. In so many words, he’s NOT the one. Check it above.

We wonder if Tey and Iman will do a love track in the future....

NFL star Dez Bryant brought his adorable son Dez Bryant Jr. to the Cowboys training camp yesterday, and he’s killing us with cuteness. Come inside to see YBF Kid Little Dez hit the gridiron like his pops …

It was a much calmer and more family friendly day at the Cowboys training camp yesterday. If you haven’t heard, a few days ago, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was involved in a massive brawl where a St. Louis Rams player punched him in the face during a joint practice. Ouch!

A few weeks before that incident, Dez was involved in a scuffle with his teammate Tyler Patmon during practice. Afterwards, the two hugged it out and made up.

But yesterday’s practice was nothing like those testosterone filled days. The NFLer brought his adorable 5-year-old son Dez Bryant Jr. to camp and it’s clear his pops has some competition on his hands.

Little Dez was seen putting in work on the field throwing the football around & making catches, running drills and, of course, throwing up the ‘X’ just like his dad:

Too cute!

After practice, little Dez went head-to-head against head coach Jason Garrett, catching a pass and making a touchdown. Check it:

The second season of the hit Starz show "Survivor's Remorse" is on the way, so the cast celebrated last night at a red carpet premiere party in Atlanta.  Plus, TheYBF.com was on the scene chatting up your faves...

Before "Survivor's Remorse," a comedy about an NBA star navigating through taking care of the family and friends who helped him get to where he is, returns to STARZ this weekend, it's time to celebrate.  Since the hit show is filmed in Atlanta, it's only right the premiere party went down in the same city last night at Regal Cinemas Atlantic Station.

Star Teyonah Parris, who plays character Cam Calloway's in-law who's married to his cousin/manager played by Ronreaco Lee, showed up serving all kinds of flyness.  We're in love with this orange jumpsuit by Datari Austin London.

All the YESes!  Perfect hair, makeup and nail color. Teyonah, who also starred in Dear White People and Mad Men, is set to star in Spike Lee's upcoming flick Chiraq.

Star Mike Epps avoided questions about his latest Twitter fiasco with his wife and a random follower. 

But he did look pretty fly in his black checkered suit.

Tichina Arnold kept it colorful in a purple jumpsuit and two-toned shoes as she threw up the L for Lupus Awareness on the carpet.  She also seemed to be on a mission to bring the hair-tail back.

"RHOA" star Demetria McKinney rocked a cute all pink look with culottes and a strapless crop top.

Star Erica Ash showed up in a sexy blue Romás by Linda Rowe Thomas lace jumpsuit for the carpet. She told us her stylist concocted her entire look from many different places.

Gary With Da Tea from The Ricky Smiley Morning Show got into costume for the occasion.  Ha!  

V103 radio host Egypt Sherrod was there.

And she caught up with Mike Epps on the carpet.

Star Ronreaco Lee was there flossing his perfect teeth.

Find out what Mike Epps told us about his typical "black uncle" role on the show, what Tichina loved and hated about Atlanta, and why Erica's role as "Cam"'s lesbian sister will be as hilarious as ever in our video below: 

The new season of "Survivor's Remorse" premieres Saturday, August 22 at 9:30PM on Starz.
