 photo jig.png

Jay Z has joined Instagram y’all! Find out his IG handle and peep the epicness that occurred when J. Cole brought his Forest Hills Drive Tour to his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina last night inside….

Nearly three years after his wife Beyonce started snapping it up for the ‘gram, Jay Z is now following suit.

Yesterday, we got word that Mr. Carter has joined the masses and created an Instagram account. His handle? @HovSince96 – how appropriate.

Hov has already put up his first post too. In remembrance of iconic Pop singer Michael Jackson, the "Tom Ford" rapper posted up a birthday tribute to the late legend:

 photo jig23.png

He captioned, "Happy Birthday to the King! This may be my first and last post."

Sooooo...don't get your hopes up. It doesn't look like we'll be hopping on our timelines to see the latest flicks from Jay's personal stash.

Music exec and Jay's long time friend Michael Kyser confirmed that @HovSince96 is Hov's official account, posting up a picture of the Hip Hop mogul as he made his first post:

 photo jayig0.png

At the time of this post, he has about 95,300 followers and he's following five accounts. His starting five includes his wife Beyonce (of course), his photogrpaher Lenny Santigo (and Adrienne Bailon's fiance), Michael Kyser, Roc Nation, and Executive Assistant at Roc Apparel Group Emory Jones.

Although Jay said his first post may be his first and last, are you still going to follow him? You never know, he might surprise folks one day.

Meanwhile....

After hopping on one of the most popular social media networks, Jay was full of more surprises.

Last night, J. Cole returned to his hometown of Fayetteville, NC on his Forest Hills Drive Tour at the Crown Coliseum. And he brought out the BIG guns for the sold-out show. The Roc Nation rapper brought out Roc head honcho Jay Z, Drake AND Big Sean for an epic night for concertgoers.

The crowd went INSANE when Mr. Carter and Big Sean joined J Cole on stage to perform "IDFWU!" They then performed “Clique” and a few other tracks before Drizzy slid on stage.

Young Money emcee Drake rocked the mic with “Energy.” He also performed “Know Yourself,” the Meek Mill diss track “Back to Back,” (where he spit a few new bars) and he dropped his verse on Fetty Wap’s “My Way."

Peep a few clips from the show below.

Nicki Minaj kicked off the 2015 VMAs with a medley of “Trini Dem Girls” & "The Night Is Still Young" featuring a surprise appearance from Taylor Swift. Then she cursed out Miley Cyrus.  Watch it inside....

The 2015 MTV VMAs started tonight with a tribal-inspired performance from Nicki Minaj of her track "Trini Dem Girls."  The song appears on her latest disc, The Pinkprint.

 photo NickiMinaj2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsFixedHJB9yVpK4tRl.jpg 

Nicki surprised fans by bringing out Taylor Swift (who's been bringing out everybody in the world at her own tour stops) for a performance of the song "The Night Is Still Young" (which they lip-synced). 

 photo Screenshot 2015-08-30 20.59.59.png

The performance ended with a snippet of Taylor's song "Bad Blood" which was a "wink" at a brief social media battle the ladies had, earlier this summer, regarding MTV's decision to bypass Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video as a "Video Of The Year" nominee and Taylor coming for her for speaking out. 

However, Nicki is not going home empty-handed.  She did win the MTV VMA for "Best Hip Hop" video for "Anaconda."  Oddly, her acceptance speech included a "Thank You" to her Pastor, whom she named "Pastor Lily" (clearly there's a backstory). 

Prior to the performance....

Hollywood producer Will Packer sure loves a surprise. On Friday, he tied the knot with his fiancée Heather Hayslett in an intimate backyard wedding at their new home. And it was a total surprise to all of their guests. Find out how they pulled it off inside….

Congrats are in order for Hollywood producer Will Packer and his now wife Heather Hayslett! The couple exchanged their “I Dos” in an intimate wedding held in the backyard of their new home in Georgia Friday evening. And it was everything the twosome had hoped for…and more.

Much like his surprise proposal in front of 40,000 people at the 2013 ESSENCE Music Festival, the TLAM producer and his wife pulled off a surprise wedding in front of their closest friends and family.

The couple dished to ESSENCE that they planned a huge housewarming party to celebrate their new home in Sandy Springs, but it was actually the setting of their romantic nuptials. About 50 of the couple’s closest family and friends gathered at their home thinking they would enjoying an intimate dinner on the eve of the couple’s housewarming party. Turns out, they were gearing up to witness two souls become one.

 photo wpm1.png

Will, looking dapper in a black and gold Miguel Wilson Collection tuxedo (a shout out to his fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha), his  eldest son Dominique (20) and Heather's son Zion (13) first trekked down the aisle to a mash-up of the score of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Rich Homie Quan’s “Flex, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh.” And YES, they busted out the dance moves as well.

The bride’s sister/matron-of-honor and Packer’s two daughters Maya (11) and Nija (15) walked down the aisle to Janelle Monae and Miguel’s duet “Primetime.”

For the grand entrance of the bride, she sashayed down the aisle to a live performance from their good friend Anthony Hamilton, who sang a rendition of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, Greatest Inspiration.”

The Wedding Ringer producer could hardly contain himself once he saw his bride making her way down the aisle in a champagne satin Eve of Milady wedding gown with silver beaded overlay. He told ESSENCE,

“When I saw her at the end of that aisle I just lost it. That whole backyard was crying."

Aww…

The bride also gushed to the mag about her fairytale wedding saying,

“I always imagined that my wedding would be just me looking into my husband’s eyes and us professing our love for each other, and that is exactly what we did yesterday.”

So sweet.

On Saturday night:

We’ve rounded pics of what some of your fave YBFers are up to this weekend. Peep #YBFWeekend shots of Serena Williams,Tracee Ellis Ross, Mariah Carey and more inside…

 photo wek7.jpg

As she gears up to compete in the upcoming U.S. Open tournament in NYC (kicking off on Monday), Serena Williams was front-and-center with her racket in hand to participate in the tournament’s pre-game festivities.

Yesterday, the 21-time Grand Slam winner (above alongside tennis player Rafael Nadal) made in appearance at the 20th annual Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day held at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows to honor the legacy of tennis legend Arthur Ashe.
 

 photo wek8.jpg

Beachbody coach and fitness motivator Shaun T was also in the mix. Before getting to his hosting duties, Shaun showed off his washboard abs on the carpet...making us swoon.

 photo wek9.jpg

The kiddies enjoyed a day of playing tennis and learning new skills from the tennis champions, live music with performances by Natalie La Rose and others, balloons and grab bags for a fun-filled day of tennis.

Serena is set to hit the Arthur Ashe Stadium tennis court on Monday, August 31st at 7pm ET to battle it out against Russian player Vitalia Diatchenko for round 1 of the women’s singles during the opening ceremony. Her sister Venus Williams will play against Puerto Rican player Monica Puig on the same day at 11am ET at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Good luck ladies! 

Over on the 'gram....

 photo wek10.png

“black•ish” Tracee Ellis Ross is getting in some quality time with her sister-in-law Jessica Simpson! The TV mom posted the glam shot above on Instagram with the caption, “#sisters.”SIDENOTE – We are LOVING these red Alaia sandals Tracee is rocking.

As you know, Tracee’s little brother Evan Ross and Jessica’s little sister Ashlee Simpson are married and recently welcomed their first child together, Jagger Snow Evans. Tracee and Ashlee linked up earlier this week to celebrate Evan’s 27th birthday, so this pic is likely from the celebration. Nice!

 photo wek11.png

We told you R&B songbird Mariah Carey is currently living it up on vacay with her billionaire beau James Packer. And it appears she brought her twins Monroe and Moroccan along (again) for round 2 of fun.  

The twins have joined their mother on James’ luxurious yacht to sail the waters overseas. MC shared a few sweet moments with Dem Babies as they prepared to go to bed all smiles in their pajamas.
 

In another set of photos, MiMi gives us a glimpse of the fun they had in the pool:

 photo wek12.png

Little Moroccan is surely a mama's boy as he licks the side of his mom's face. She captioned, "Puppy luv" Adorbs.

 photo wek13.png

And little Roe got in her "mermaid" kisses with mommy. Cute.

In the latest round of rumors about MC's whirlwind romance, it was being reported the "#1 to Infinity" songstress and her Australian "dreamlover" was expecting their first child together. Well, it's FALSE. MC's rep confirmed to E! News that Mariah is NOT pregnant. There's that.

Another mommy having pool time with her kiddie.....

 photo wek15.png

“Love & Hip Hop: New York” star Yandy Smith Harris took her baby girl Skylar out for a dip in the pool after touching down in Tallahassee, FL for a hosting gig.

And, of course, mommy had to show off her post-baby bod in fringed two-piece. Work!

Queens native LL Cool J returned to his childhood neighborhood to host his annual “Jump & Ball” tournament. The event offered live music, free food and tons of other family friendly activities.

Participants also hit the basketball court for a series of tournaments to determine the “kings of the court.” LL took to his IG to thank everyone for another successful year captioning, “Thank you to everyone who came out to support #JumpandBallXI!!! Much love #Queens #NY” Sweet!

 photo wek17.jpg

While her hit STARZ series “Survivors Remorse” aired a new episode last night, YBF chick Teyonah Parris was having a fab summer night in NYC. Cute.

And for a little ratchetness....

 photo kmdrunk.png

R&B singer and reality star K. Michelle -- with a new short blonde look -- took to her Instagram to rant and rave about loving herself and a slew of other topics. The most noteworthy were her comments about no longer wanting to date black men and poppin’ off on “LAHH ATL” star Rasheeda saying she raps like Shawty Lo!

We have pics of Rihanna’s floral kimono fabness as she celebrates the nuptials of her stylist Sonya Benson in NYC. Peep the wedding flicks and shots of RiRi on the party scene with her bestie Melissa Forde afterwards inside….

 photo rhwed1.jpg

When it comes to showing support for her friends' most important milestones, Rihanna is one to make it her business to be there.

 photo wek2.jpg

The Bajan beauty hopped on a flight from L.A. to Manhattan just in time to celebrate with her stylist Sonya Benson on her wedding day in Midtown Saturday evening.

 photo wek1.jpg

The Pop princess got all glammed up in a floor-length silver kimono patterned with orange lotus flowers that she styled with a pair of metallic Tom Ford ankle lock sandals. She ditched the cropped blue wig she was spotted rocking earlier in the day, going back to her golden blonde curly tresses she has been rocking lately pulled up into a high ponytail.

 photo wek3.jpg

During the wedding festivities, the “BBHMM” singer, who’s first album Music of the Sun celebrates its 10th anniversary today, hopped on the mic to gift the newlyweds, along with party guests, with a live performance during the reception at the American Whiskey Bar.

 photo rhwed3.jpg

Let's hope "BBHMM" wasn't one of the selections.

Peep a few fun clips of RiRi having fun on the dance floor (hitting the Macarena, the Whip/Nae Nae & more) below:

Ne-Yo & Crystal Renay Announce They're PREGNANT....And Married?!

 photo Screen Shot 2015-08-30 at 6.05.46 PM_zps6jvkskah.png

Are Ne-Yo and his Instagram model turned girlfriend Crystal Renay married...and having a baby?  Looks like it. 

But, this isn't going over well on their social media pages.  Deets inside...

Welp, this happened.  Ne-Yo surprised his fans on the 'Gram today with some baby news.  He revealed the news without REALLY revealing the news.  

The singer posted a pic of his girlfriend of almost two years holding up a pic of him and Crystal holding on to her belly area.  He captioned the pic, "Surprise!" 

The pic alludes to the couple being pregnant.  But that's not all:

 photo 11821677_1463224793985779_296334000_n_zpssjcccswp.jpg

We spotted Crystal's best friend Angelica on IG congratulating the twosome....on a WEDDING as well. Are these two also secretly married? 

Crystal recently posted a professional pic of herself in a white gown posing with NeYo, who was in a tux, with her caption saying "Who needs a ring when you have this?" It had most people believing Crystal was saying she's content with just being Ne-Yo's girlfriend who reaps the benefits of his celebrity. 

Hmmm...

 photo Screen Shot 2015-08-30 at 10.08.20 PM_zpsg7yowkhi.png

Crystal showed off her baby bump with her bestie who said:

Regardless of what anyone says you are happy and they don't know what it took to get here @mscrystalrenay #GodMommy #LoveHappy

Neither Crystal nor Ne-Yo have followed up with an explicit "We're pregnant and married" message, but we can only guess how the R&B crooner's ex is feeling right now.

Monyetta Shaw revealed on her former show "Atlanta Exes" that she had her tubes tied...and burned...when she and Ne-Yo were still engaged.  She's unable to have more children.  Why, you ask?  Monyetta said that Ne-Yo convinced her it was best to do since they had their two children back-to-back and didn't want more.  Fast forward to today, he's moved on with another woman and is about to have another child.  Meanwhile, Monyetta is unable to do have anymore children with the next man she plans to falls in love with.

Tragic.

The 2015 MTV VMAs kicked out with some hot shots from a few of your fave YBF chicks.

First up….

 photo NickiMinaj2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsRedPNRePHYn20Ul.jpg

Fresh off "The Pinkprint Tour," Nicki Minaj sashayed inside the Microsoft Theater in L.A. to flaunt her curves in sheer deep plunging Labourjoisie gown, serving golden goodness. The Young Money raptress kept her make up simple(ish) and finished her look with a sleek straight hairstyle with her signature bang.

Chick got a refill and served from all angles....

...with a dash of sultriness.

 photo NickiMinaj2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsRed8NabIR4k2iQl.jpg

Nicki's up for three awards tonight, including Best Female Video, Best Hip-Hop Video (already won for "Anaconda") and Best Collaboration for "Bang Bang" with Jessie J and Ariana Grande.

 photo Ciara2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivals30o5szypDeQl.jpg

Ciara served up fringe and fierencess in this all black cut-out Alexandre Vauthier ensemble. Chick switched her her ‘do from long flowy tresses to a cropped coif. We feelin' it?

 photo RitaOra2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivals9FNzaCNeOoDl.jpg

“Body On Me” singer Rita Ora was busy turning heads in this sexy feathered Vera Wang dress.  Usually we're not into the stripper-Black Swan feel...but some type of way, this works for her.

 photo RitaOra2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsHmJSnIQDz8Kl.jpg

 photo RitaOra2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsCHwGuGqkh33l.jpg

She had the ladies sitting right all the while flossing her toned legs, which were highlighted by the gown's high slit.

Don't hurt 'em Rita.

 photo 2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsc4IjRyZty-el.jpg

Surprisingly, one of our fave looks of the night was one of the more simple ones of the bunch.  If you want to call this simple.

HLN's "The Daily Share" host Rocsi Diaz rocked this LBD that was simple, yet perfect.

 photo 2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivals8foBdh3pjXdl.jpg

The former "106 & Park" host slayed the carpet in an elegant, yet seductive, black House of CB midi dress which she styled with a stunning pair of Sophia Webster butterfly sandals. HOT!

 photo 2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsSDQXLnwLdgQl.jpg

She caught up with red carpet host Kelly Osbourne as she made her way down the carpet.

 photo Serayah2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsLKzvGFOdavgl.jpg

“Empire” star Serayah popped up on the carpet in an interesting look. Lots of white…and fringe.  Nope, it's not mummy chic.  Just Serayah trying to express herself.

 photo Serayah2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsBbPia8Y9A2Zl.jpg

Can't say her look is one of our faves, but it looks like she had fun posing it up with her bestie Taylor Swift and crew.

 photo 2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsanRnXOA1lFGl.jpg

British songstress FKA Twigs was all about sheer and cut-outs sexing up the carpet in a black Versace gown.  Definitely a sexier look than we're used to with this eclectic goddess....but we're loving every bit of this change up.  And we're sure her BAE Robert Pattinson loves it too.

THIS is how Nicki's boyfriend Meek Mill rolled up to the VMAs...

The couple's rep reveals to PEOPLE that they got hitched inside the Beverly Hills Hotel in front of family, friends, and plenty of Russ' teammates and colleagues.  At the swanky affair, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Serge Ibaka and Keri Hilson, Dorrell Wright and James Harden and new boo Khloe Kardashian all witnessed the twosome become one. 

While Nina walked down the aisle in a Vera Wang creation, she slipped into a second dress by Monique Lhullier.  As for the music she walked down the aisle to: A special song by Beyoncé

At the reception, they had their first dance to the sensual "Nothing Even Matters" by D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill while Miguel did a surprise performance right before midnight.

Oh...and before they stepped out of their Uber ride, Amber and Chyna served up a bootylicious twerk video straight from the backseat.  Doing the absolute most for a cause.  Check it below:

He picked up his very first VMA for the Best Video With A Social Message award for his track “One Man Can Change The World,” featuring Kanye West and John Legend. (Fun Fact: This was John Legend’s first VMA win as well).

UH OH: Nicki Minaj VS. Miley Cyrus (And Her Own Ass) At The MTV VMAs!

Nicki Minaj went from talking about the pulpit to popping off on host Miley Cyrus in the middle of the rapper's acceptance speech.  And that's not the only beef she had.  See Nicki doing the most on Sunday's VMAs stage inside...

When Nicki Minaj won the Best Hip Hop Video Award for "Anaconda" at Sunday's VMAs, it was her own Anaconda holding her back from going to get her award.

Nicki tried to tip toe to the stage and lift her leg up to get up the stairs.....but between her super tight dress and her seemingly fresh-off-the-injection-table refilled booty, she wasn't able to carry it all up the stairs solo dolo.

Nicki stood at the bottom of the stairs laughing to herself that she couldn't get up the stairs, then asked for help. And danced while waiting.

Once the hilarious Rebel Wilson, who was presenting the Award, came to offer the help Meek Mill didn't, Nicki sashayed her way up the stairs with no problem.  The twosome celebrated with a mini twerk session.

Then...Nicki came for host Miley Cyrus' wig.

 photo NickiMinaj2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsFixedD9Jc0Nt7CsCl_zpsnja6jiun.jpg

She seemed to have a few four-letter "words" for Miley.  Right after Nicki thanked her Pastor....she flipped the script and her voice and said, "Now for this b*tch that had a lot to say about me in the press the other day, Miley what's good?!"

Apparently Miley made some comments while doing MTV VMA promo.  Regarding Nicki's comments about "Anaconda" not being celebrated because it doesn't promote slim bodies, Miley said,

"If you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don't respect your statement because of the anger that came with it," Cyrus said. "And it's not anger like, 'Guys, I'm frustrated about some things that are a bigger issue.' You made it about you. Not to sound like a bitch, but that's like, 'Eh, I didn't get my VMA.

"What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It's not very polite," Cyrus said. "I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don't have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn't even on what you wanted it to be about… I know you can make it seem like, 'Oh I just don't understand because I'm a white pop star.' I know the statistics. I know what's going on in the world. But to be honest, I don't think MTV did that on purpose."

Miley responded to Nicki saying that media often manipulates interviews celebs give in this business.  Hmph.  Watch it unfold below.

 

Is this real or nah?

Kanye West accepted tonight's MTV Video Vanguard award where he shockingly revealed his presidential aspirations.  If you believed anything that came out of his mouth Sunday night.  More inside...

 photo KanyeWest2015MTVVideoMusicAwardsFixedoAVemKze0jyl.jpg 

Tonight, Kanye West was honored for being the musical genius that he is. We've always acknowledged that he's "great."  But he finally got the acknowledgement from mainstream that he's been mad about not receiving.

But wait...there were no Thank Yous.  He had more ish to pop off about.

While accepting the Video Vanguard Award from his former rival Taylor Swift who admitted her first CD was Kanye's College Dropout, he used 13-minutes to drop some knowledge (some may call it B.S.) and announce that he’s running for president.

 photo kanye-vmas.jpg

'Ye said, “And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.”

Yes....you read that right.

Check out the full transcript of his speech full of calling out the industry (again), ragging on Award shows (again), what he smoked before he got there and more.

 

Bro. Bro! Listen to the kids.

Jeremy, I gotta put it down for a second. It's beautiful. Jeremy Scott designed.

First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious in giving me this award this evening. Thank you. And I often think back to the first day I met you, also. You know, I think about when I'm in the grocery store with my daughter, and I have a really great conversation about fresh juice at the -- you know? And at the end, they say, "Oh, you're not that bad after all." And like, I think about it sometimes, like, it crosses my mind a little bit like when I go to the baseball game and, like, 60,000 people boo me. It crosses my mind a little bit. Just — [applause]

I think if I had to do it all again, what would I have done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have drank a half a bottle of Hennessy and gave the rest of it to the audience? Yeah, I know y'all drink that bottle too. If I had a daughter at that time, would I have went on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's?

You know, this arena tomorrow, it's gonna be a completely different set-up. Some concert, something like that. This stage will be gone. After that night, the stage is gone, but the effect that it had on people remains. The — [applause] The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is I do fight for artists, but in that fight, I somehow... what's disrespectful to artists, I — I didn't know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing. [sighs] I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley and the FutureLove/Sexy Back album. And bro, Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast, but I saw that man in tears, bro. You know. And I was thinking, "He deserved to win Album of the Year."

And this small box that we are as the entertainers of the evening. [Applause] How could you explain that? Sometimes, I feel like, you know, all this shit they run about beef and all that, sometimes I feel like I died for the artists' opinion, for artists to be able to have an opinion after they were successful. [Applause] I'm not no politician, bro. And look at that. You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? Because it got them more ratings? You know how many times they announced Taylor was gonna give me the award, because it got them more ratings? [Applause]

Listen to the kids, bro! [Applause]

I still don't understand awards shows. I don't understand how they get five people who worked their entire life, one, sold records, sold concert tickets, to come, stand on the carpet, and for the first time in their life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser. I don't understand it, bro! I don't understand when the biggest album, or the biggest video — I'm conflicted, bro! I just wanted people to like me more. But fuck that, bro! [Applause]

2015! I will die for the art, for what I believe in. And the art ain't always gonna be polite. Y'all might be thinking right now, I wonder, did he smoke some before he came out here? The answer is, yes, I rolled up a little something. I knocked the edge off. [Applause]

I don't know what's gonna happen tonight. I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, bro. But all I can say to my artists, my fellow artists: just worry how you feel at the time, man. Just worry about how you feel, and don't never — you know what I'm saying? I'm confident. I believe in myself. We the Millennials, bro. This is a new — this is a new mentality. We not gonna control our kids with brands. We not gonna teach low self esteem and hate to our kids. We gonna teach our kids that they can be something! We gonna teach our kids that they can stand up for theyself. We gonna teach our kids to believe in themselves. If my grandfather was here right now, he would not let me back down! [Rolling applause]

I don't know what I'm gonna lose after this. It don't matter, though, because it ain't about me. It's about ideas, bro. New ideas! People with ideas! People who believe in truth!

And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided, in 2020, to run for president. [Applause]

SIDEBAR - No one would have expected Donald Trump to make a serious run for president....and look at him now. 

For fun......

Justin's got jokes!  And Kanye had a few too.  After he got his award....he was done for the night.

2015 VMAs: The FUNNIEST Memes....

 photo vmb6.png

In honor of last night's 2015 VMAs, we've got a roundup on the Internet's funniest memes and videos...

The 2015 VMAs certainly had its moments.  From Nicki Minaj's seductive intro performance of "Trini Dem Girls
 to The Weeknd dancing and singing before a wall of fire with"Can't Feel My Face" there was a lot to dissect. 

We learned that Kanye had smoked a blunt before his Video Vanguard speech and he also hopes to make Kim Kardashian America's First Lady in 2020.  Then there was that time Nicki Minaj thanked her pastor and then cursed out Miley Cyrus (all in the same breath).  It was many things....

We also came across this dance video of Kanye celebrating his greatness...

Tennis icon Serena Williams has partnered with NIKE for a trio of sneakers marking her "greatness."  See a sneak peek inside...

With the U.S. Open kicking off today, NIKE has announced a new partnership with Serena Williams to produce three distinct sneakers to be included in their "Greatness Collection."

We peeped Serena working with designer Mark Parker (atop) via a few photos on Instagram. The trio of sneakers are named the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra, Nike Roshe LD-1000 and NikeCourt Flare. Each shoe boasts a safari-like print along each upper. 

Outside of her sneaker launch, today is a big day for Serena.

 photo Screenshot 2015-08-31 07.38.22.png

Serena, shown above with her coach Patrick Mouratoglou, starts the US Open today. She wrote on Instagram, "@patrickmouratoglou and @robbyepoole85 Mackie and @zun_hut Patrick- are you ready? Let's just have fun this next few weeks! #strongisbeautiful #dynamicduo #dreamteam #thatass"

A few months ago, we were under the impression that Patrick and Serena were an item, but now that she's been hooking up with Drake, we believe Pat and Serena's dealings are strictly professional.

BONUS:

 photo Screenshot 2015-08-31 07.44.06.png

Serena's sister Venus is also playing the US Open.  Over the weekend, they both checked into the St. Regis Hotel.  Serena wrote "So excited to be back at the @StRegisNewYork for another #USOpen with @venuseswilliams."

 

Serena, who has won four major tournaments already, is set to begin her bid for the Grand Slam.  If she wins, she'll be the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to complete the calendar year grand slam.

SUNDAY FUNDAY: Halle Berry & Husband Olivier Martinez Enjoy A Day At The Park With Nahla & Maceo

Halle Berry and her husband Olivier Martinez enjoyed some family time with their kiddies, Nahla and Maceo, at the park. Peep their family photos inside….

“Extant” star Halle Berry took a break from her busy schedule to enjoy a Sunday Funday with her husband Olivier Martinez, her daughter Nahla (whom she shares with Gabriel Aubrey) and little Maceo.

After an action-packed day at DisneyLand last week, the gang packed up and rolled out to a playground in Malibu to enjoy an afternoon of family fun activities at the park.

There have been rumors circulating that there’s trouble in paradise between Halle and Olivier after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring. The 49-year-old mother of two lost her ring in Mexico, but it appears she has since replaced it.

 photo habe4.png

The Oscar winning actress is currently appearing in new episodes in season 2 of her hit CBS series “Extant.” She also just wrapped up filming for a new thriller titled Kindap, where she will play a mother who will stop at nothing to find her kidnapped son. It’s set to hit theaters in February 2016.

As for that adorable son of hers…

 photo trn1.png

We hardly ever get to see little Maceo’s face due to his face being blurred in most pictures. (SIDENOTE—Halle has been adamant about being "anti-paparazzi" against photogs who snap pictures of celebrity’s kids). But, he brought the YBF Kiddie cuteness while playing with his dad on the monkey bars yesterday. Adorbs!

You can catch more of Halle every Wednesday on “Extant” at 9/8c on CBS.

NOW THAT SHE’S LEGAL: Tyga & Kylie Jenner Get KISSY In New “Stimulated” Video

Tyga’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner JUST turned 18. And now that she’s legal, the twosome has no qualms about putting their love on front street. Peep the kissy visuals in his new video “Stimulated” inside….

We brought you Tyga’s grossly laced lyrics in his new track “Stimulated” where he raps about banging “a young girl.” Now, the video treatment for the track has been released. And it stars his 18-year-old girlfriend Kylie Jenner (who just celebrated turning the legal age on August 10th).

Now that the “KUWTK” reality star is officially legal, Tyga and Kylie no longer have to hide their relationship. Last night, the two were getting all cuddly in the audience as they watched the2015 MTV VMAs go down in L.A. Today, they are featured in a brand new video “Stimulated” (a cut from his recent mixtape Fuk What They Talkin Bout), sharing intimate moments they share behind-the-scenes.

 photo tyky2.png

In the new clip, we see T-Raww spitting lyrics off the balcony of mansion where he raps about penetrating a girl who's all grown up:

“They say she young,
I shoulda waited,
She a big girl, dawg
When she stimulated…
She a big girl dawg,
I’m puttin’ in,
Yeah I’m penetrating"

Then in comes Kylie starring as his on-screen love interest. While he never mentions Kylie’s name on the track, it’s pretty clear who he’s referring to. And the fact that Kylie stars in the video, sort of confirms what everyone was already thinking…he’s rapping about Kylie!

The cast of SOC, shown atop during the recent premiere in Berlin, have a lot to celebrate.  In addition to huge debuts all around the world, the film is still number one in the States!

This week, SOC managed to make $13.1M, bringing the cumulative total to $134.1million! Maintaining #1 was a huge feat because the film faced competition from the Kendrick Brothers’ War Room, a faith-based film targeting Christians. War Room eventually made $11.3M.

RUMOR CONTROL: Terrence Howard Wants You To Know He & Wife Mira Pak Are Still Together & Stop Believing Everything You Read!

0

 photo thm1.jpg

Terrence Howard is seemingly speaking out against rumors that he and his third wife Mira Pak are divorcing. Peep new coupledom pics of the couple along with their infant son Qirin Love inside….

“Empire” star Terrence Howard is doing some serious damage control after making headlines surrounding his divorce settlement with his second wife Michelle Ghent. You’ll recall, his ex-wife Michelle has made abuse allegations against the Hollywood vet and reportedly made threats to expose the star’s titillating sexcapades.

Not only that, there were reports he and his third wife Mira Pak were divorced!

During the drama-filled court proceedings (remember when he was crying on the stand?), it was reported Terrence had already divorced his wife of two-years. According to reports from the NY Daily News, the divorce judgment was granted in Chicago, and was entered the day before his deposition in the Michelle Ghent proceeding. But, that all appears to not be true. At least, that’s what Terrence is saying.

The “Empire” star posted a picture of himself and Mira aboard a plane with the caption, “Heading out!!!” He told a Twitter follower he and his wife were flying out for a weekend excursion. Oh?

 

 photo thm2.jpg

A few days before that, he shared a shot of himself, his wife and their newest bundle of joy Qirin Love (who was born in May 2015) with the caption, “My wonderful family day out!!!” They were in Chicago with Terrence while he films for the upcoming second season of the hit FOX series.

Along with pictures of him and his family all smiles, he also posted a tweet subliminally denouncing the Splitsville Lane rumors. He said:
 

 photo thm3.png

Can't believe everything you read in the papers...

Hmph.

It's interesting to note, he posted these pictures after the judge threw out his divorce/spousal agreement with Michelle and they're headed back to family court. Looks like he might be trying to clean up his image before he goes back in front of a judge.

And then there were those rumors that his role as Lucious Lyon would be majorly reduced on screen due to his recent divorce drama and domestic violence allegations. Guess he's doing everything he can to stay in the "Empire" producers good graces.
