It's practice day for Serena Williams and we've got pics of her winding down with her puppy Chip and joking around with her coach inside.  Plus, candids of Steve Harvey and beautifully bright Teyonah Parris in NYC.... 

 photo reen4.png

One day after she defeated Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, Serena Williams got some court-side support from her adorable Yorkshire Terrier dog, Chip, and her coach Patrick during a practice session at the 2015 U.S. Open Tennis Championships in Queens, NYC.

OK, is this pic of this tiny pup running to a smiling Serena melting anyone else's heart?!  Gotta love the YBF Pets.

Chip is a constant presence in Serena's life and he often travels the world with her....and in his own costumes of course.

 photo reen2.png

Ridiculous adorbs!

Back to the tennis.....this is one of the biggest weeks and most important tournaments of Serena's career. All eyes are on her as she attempts to become the first player since Steffi Graf to complete the calendar-year grand slam.   Chip definitely thinks she can go all the way!

 photo reen5.png

Serena also has the backing of her world-renown coach (and former lover?) Patrick Mouratoglou.

How is Serena dealing with the pressures of all the Grand Slam talk? During a Wimbledon press conference in July, she told reporters that she likes to press the "mute" button on that issue.

"When you talk about it every time, you can't help but think about it. It's been okay to free my brain from that. I like that mute button." 

Good luck Serena!  We're watching all the way....

 

In Manhattan...

In addition to his work as a motivational speaker, we've learned that Steve have been cast to star in The Best Man Wedding.

Dear White People and "Survivor's Remorse" star Teyonah Parris was also spotted at NBC studios.  She's a breath of fresh air and looking amazingly fab in this floral look today.

 photo stuit2.jpg

Speaking of "Survivor's Remorse," the show just nabbed a third season.  In the current season now airing, Teyonah's storyline is wrapped around her going from glammed up weave queen to au natural...and it's a rough and hilarious transition for her.

Next up for Teyonah, she's starring in Spike Lee's controversial anti-violence film Chiraq.

MAGAZINES: "The Perfect Guy" Michael Ealy Embraces Being A Sex Symbol, Says Becoming a Father Made Him A Risk-Taker

Actor Michael Ealy covers the latest issue of ROLLING OUT where he discusses breaking out of his "good guy" mold in "The Perfect Guy."  Oh yes, you can be bad ANY day with us Michael.  Check out his spread inside...

 photo MERO2.jpg

Actor Michael Ealy is making promotional appearances for his upcoming thriller The Perfect Guy, which opens Sept. 11th, and we've got his latest profile.

In the newest issue of ROLLING OUT, Micheal (who produced the film alongside co-star Sanaa Lathan) shockingly revealed that the birth of his son Elijah gave him the courage to step out of his mold and portray different characters/

The upcoming "Secrets & Lies" star revealed:

“I’m approaching my career in a ‘bet big or go home’ [way]. And I want him and my wife to be proud of the choices I make and approaches I take to my career. I want them to see my choices as fearless now. That’s where I am. In 10 years, it might be different. In five years, it might be a different story. I might go back to wanting to get the check!. But right now, when my son is old enough, I want him to be proud of the choices his dad made.”

Here are the other highlights:

On playing a bad guy:“In terms of characters, I always wanted to play a bad guy. And this was one of the first times where I saw a bad guy that I really wanted to sink my teeth into and that was definitely a part of the appeal....It’s something that a lot of people didn’t think I could do. For the last five years, my whole plan has been working. I’ve [wanted] to do different things, I’ve been wanting to show a greater range.

On playing against the "Michael Ealy" type:“It’s kind of interesting and fun to be able to do something that goes against my ‘type,’ per se. I think I’ve been slowly breaking out of that for the last couple of years. Before I did [the USA Network series] Common Law, nobody thought I could do comedy; the studio for [the FOX series] Almost Human — they didn’t think I could play an android [laughs.] Being able to diversify the body of work is key for me — not for everybody, but for me. I relish the opportunity to go and do something different. At the time I did The Perfect Guy that was before I did The Following. This was my first time to really play a bad guy and with The Following I just took it further.”

On embracing his sex symbol status:“There was that ‘heartthrob’ label put upon me,” he admits. “I had the opportunity to either embrace it and limit myself by riding it out, or I could use it to try and take some chances … and try and change the narrative. You think I can do that? Great. Wonderful. I’ve done that. This is what I want to do now. Since I’ve already built an audience doing what you think I can do, let me go do [this] and see if my audience rides with me on that, too. That’s been a huge joy. I think part of the appeal of this movie is the opportunity to see me play a character that’s not a ‘heartthrob.’ I’m looking forward to seeing people’s reactions after this. I feel like people will be happy with this.”

On producing with Sanaa Lathan:“The opportunity to produce the film was huge for me because it allowed me to be even more passionate about the project because I was involved in the development of the project,” he explains. “So that in and of itself made a pretty big difference on my end. That was huge for me and that was hopefully the first step of many toward me producing more and more of my own projects.

On his son's birth impacting his career:"I thought that when I got married and as soon as I had a kid, I was going to take fewer chances,” he says. “I thought I was going to be like ‘I gotta get this check. I got a wife. I got a kid, I’m gonna get this steady paycheck.’ But ironically, I’ve been more creative since my son was born and I’ve been taking bigger chances since my son was born.”

The Perfect Guy premieres September 11th.

RECEIPTS: Tyga LEASED Kylie Jenner's Ferrari....But He Put It In Her Name

We've got more on Tyga and Kylie's Ferrari drama.....and it's turning into a smoke & morrors ratchet rap drama.  More inside....

 photo tygk6.jpg

A few days ago, rapper Tyga made headlines after he made a huge presentation to his girlfriend Kylie Jenner in front of a group of their friends.  You'll recall that he presented her with a Ferrari 482 Italia (valued at $320,000) outside of Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood.  Presented as if he copped it FOR her for her birthday.  A few messy folks around the net -- and in our comments -- jokingly said she paid for her own gift. 

Well...it turns out that Tyga actually leased the vehicle...but he put it in Kylie's name. So she MAY end up paying for her own gift if Tyga defaults on the lease payment. A source told RADAR, "He leased it. He couldn't afford to actually buy one for her."

 photo tygk5.jpg

Why is that a big deal? Because there are rumors that Tyga is broke, and worth only $4 million (broke by Kardashian and some rappers' standards).  Not to mention he has a seriously hefty lawsuit (or two) hanging over his head.

Another source told RADAR ONLINE, "The whole family is concerned Tyga is trying to get his hands on Kylie's money. Being part of her life, it allowing him to go on crazy vacations and get free stuff thrown at him from everyone."
 

SMH....You'll recall that Tyga has also had several issues with his Calabasas landlord.  Hmm....maybe he should just "live" at his barely legal girlfriend Kylie's house.

Rapper Charli Baltimore's Daughter Siaani Salutes Her Mama By Recreating Her Murder Inc. & Junior M.A.F.I.A. Looks

Remember Charli Baltimore -- the red headed fiesty chick who gave us raunchy rap lyrics in the 90's to the 2000's?  Well, her daughter is following in her footsteps.  At least looks wise.  Check out Siaani Love's tribute to her mama (who's still a baddie) inside...

From the Junior M.A.F.I.A. clique in the 90's to Murder Inc. in the 2000's, Charli Baltimore (real name Tiffany Lane) has been that cute yet raunchy down ass chick who rolled with the fells but held her own.  While she never made it to mainstream or megastardom, her look is hard to forget.

The 41-year-old now has two gorgeous daughters, Siaani Love and India Christin (her oldest whom she had at 14), and she still keeps folks up to date on the 'Gram about what she and her girls are up to.

While India is signed to New York Models and FORD Models and has been doing major campaigns for brands from Keds to Tagret, Sianni is a budding makeup artist and actress.

In honor of Charli’s birthday that just passed (August 16th), Siaani decided to pay homage to her mom by recreating some of her signature 90s looks. She even rocked some of her mom’s vintage pieces, including the Dior swimsuit top from the “Down Ass Chick” music video.

Check out the unreleased photos from Siaani’s “Channeling Charli” shoot below:

The stars were out at last night's U.S. Open match-ups.  Serena Williams' VIP section was on point as she slammed her way into another win to push her into the next round.  Check out who was there inside...

It was all about Compton at the U.S. Open in Queens, NY last night.  As Compton's hometown hero Serena Williams was kicking ass and taking names on the court, Straight Outta Compton star Corey Hawkins (who played Dr. Dre) was applauding from the stands....next to YBF chick "Survivor's Remorse" star Teyonah Parris.

Serena's bestie Kelly Rowland was also there once again screaming her lungs off:

She rocked a cute, smart look of denim shorts and a blazer and wide brim hat for the chic occasion:

This time she flew solo without husband Tim.  But she was just as ecstatic as she was earlier in the week while cheering on the champ.

 photo wenn22834489_zpshmw61llm.jpg

Serena's big sis Venus also won her match, so V showed up to cheer on her little sis.

Tiger Woods was in the crowd with his daughter Sam Alexis.

As for Serena:

 photo SerenaWilliams2015OpenDay5-vf-SNv4fgGl_zpsegpzshxq.jpg

She lost the first set, but it only propelled her to win the entire third-round match, 3-6, 7-5, 6-0, against Mattek-Sands. She's made a habit out of digging herself out of a hole...and it's working on her favor.

Congrats Serena!  Up next: Round of 16. And just 4 wins away from the trophy.

Industry vet Steve Stoute’s wedding was filled with A-list attendees, including Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West, Beyonce,Jay Z, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Nas and many more. Security was extra tight and rounded up all cell phones during the ceremony, but we have a few pics celebs snapped during the nuptials. More inside…

Yesterday, former music exec-turned-brand marketer Steve Stoute got married to the love of his life Lauren Branche in super luxe wedding ceremony held at the Blue Hill in Tarrytown, NY. And the Wests were in the building.

Kanye West, looking dapper in a tailored Haider Ackermann and his wife Kim Kardashian West, rocking a black caped Valentino dress, got dressed to impress to celebrate their friends’ union.

There aren’t many pictures from the commitment ceremony (yet) because security was EXTRA tight. Cell phones were confiscated before guests witnessed Steve and Lauren said their “I Dos,” but a few pics were captured during the evening.

Sexy rapper Nas and superproducer Swizz Beatz were all bossed up last night as they celebrated their friends' nuptials. The Virgo men puffed on cigars before chowing down on some gourmet pizza. Looks yummy.

And before he made his way to the ceremony, Swizz was on his "classic man" ish as he showed off his printed blazer sipping on a glass of wine.

Inside...

 

A video posted by Maxwell (@maxwell) on

R&B crooner Maxwell was able to secretly capture a dope moment during the ceremony. Maxwell hit the stage for a surprise performance where Kanye and Nas joined him for an impromptu performance. Check it above.

He captioned, "last night mr. and mrs. steve stoute married! my band and i were the surprise guest included! jay and mrs.beyoncé carter, lebron james and his love wife nas and ofcourse kanye who graced the stage as his lovely wife watched on!! thank you NAS for making me a part of such a beautiful experience ENJOY THE MOMENT"

How did Tyga and Kylie Jenner spend Sunday FunDay?  Photographers spotted the twosome, in Kylie's leased Ferrari, at a local gas station.  Of course, Tyga pumped the gas.  Later, the two headed to a grocery store in Calabasas to stock up on their supplies. 

While their day seemed very laid back, Tyga's Friday evening was a bit more exciting... 

On Friday....

 photo _MJB4225-L.jpg

Tyga hit the stage for the World's Largest Pizza Festival at a private mansion in Beverly Hills.  The fun event featured some wrestling and a pizza-eating contest.  

The party doubled as a fundraiser for the Model Citizen Fund, which donates backpacks filled with emergency supplies to the homeless.

 photo _MJB4247-L.jpg

After he got the crowd hype with his hits "Rack City" and "Stimulated," there was one very controversial moment during Tyga's set.

He opened his performance of "Loyal" with the statement "Where All The Little Girls At?" 

If you don't believe us, watch the video here. SMH.....Tyga seems really comfortable seemingly bragging about his relationship with Kylie....

Too Short performed his classic "Blow The Whistle" for the fans.

Lastly, 2 Chainz helped close out the Steve Aoki-hosted party with a medley of his hits, including "I'm Different."

Teyana Taylor showed off her growing baby bump for the first time at the LudaDay celebrity basketball game in Atlanta yesterday as she cheered on her man Iman Shumpert. Peep her pics and shots of Kandi Burruss’ growing baby bump inside…

 photo ludach20.jpg

After recently confirming she and her beau are expecting, R&B singer Teyana Taylor had nothing to hide when she popped up at the Luda Day celebrity basketball tournament held at the GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta yesterday.

The “Maybe” songstress was spotted getting cutesy with her NBA baller boyfriend Iman Shumpert before he hit the court to battle it out for a cause. If you haven’t heard, Tey and Iman are expecting a little girl in January 2016. And the twosome have already picked out a name for their little budle of joy, Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Yes it’s a girl, but they have chosen to add “Jr.” at the end of her name.

Teyana and her cute baby bump were courtside where she chopped it up with Lil Wayne’s baby mother Sarah Vivan.

G.O.O.D. Music’s first lady also stopped by “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Rasheeda’s new store Pressed for a mini shopping spree. Rasheeda captioned, “My boo @teyanataylor came to see us at #Pressed @pressedatl Glad we got to catch up fam....can't wait to see u slay in your #pressed pieces”

Cute.

Another bump in the building....

 photo ludach35.jpg

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss was glowing as she posed it up alongside her husband Todd Tucker and daughter Riley Burruss during the basketball festivities.

The 39-year-old soon-to-be-mom again is also expecting her little bundle of joy to make his/her arrival in January 2016. The Tuckers have yet to reveal whether they are having a boy or a girl, but they’re hoping to have a baby boy to add some testosterone in the household. We’re sure Todd could use it living in a household of women.

Fun times.

WE HEAR: Karrueche Tran & Future's DJ ESCO Are Getting Close?!

Watch out Chris Brown Karrueche Tran may have a new love interest.  Find out who we hear she's been getting close to inside...

Looks like Karrueche Tran may be getting close to someone new.  This past Wednesday, she hosted SAX Wednesdays at SAX nightclub in Washington, DC.  She reportedly showed up with DJ ESCO, who is rapper Future's official DJ.

But, there's more.  Here's what else we learned:  A source from Future's camp dropped the nugget that Karrueche and ESCO are, in fact, dating.  How serious things are between them remains to be seen, but the twosome are allegedly heating up.

We're also told Future may have a secret album on the way that ESCO will appear on.  Since Kae is no stranger to gravitating toward the limelight, our source tells us Karrueche likes the fact that ESCO is on the come-up and is now receiving plenty of shine on his own.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-09-07 at 12.26.49 PM_zpsbqcvlflo.png 

ESCO, who recently did a documentary with Future about Magic City (the strip club that "runs hip-hop"), snapped a pic in front of the White House on the same day as Karreuche's party.  Interestingly, both of them posted the same pic of them together that was snapped by a spy in attendance.

 photo Screen Shot 2015-09-07 at 12.27.44 PM_zpsl8r154xg.png

ESCO clearly isn't scared of Chris Brown who loves to attempt to scare off any man Kae associates with.  We're keeping our eyes on these two...

We reached out to Karrueche's team and haven't yet received a response.

Cutie patootie!

Little North West was all about having fun with the photogs yesterday. And it has us collectively saying "AWWW!"

The 2-year-old tot and her mom Kim Kardashian West were spotted making rounds in NYC on Labor Day. And Nori brought the toddler cuteness…sticking her tongue out at the paps through a glass window! Ha!

How adorbs is she dressed in a replica of dad's outfit he always wears?!

 photo KimKardashianKimKardashianDaughterNorthyhQA1HYea7Zl.jpg

Nori took a page out of her father Kanye West’s fashion book rocking an ensemble very similar to her pops favorite go-to outfit. The little fashionista was spotted wearing a oversized gray shirt, black leather trousers, black boots and a chunky gold chain around her neck.

Her pregnant mom showed off her growing belly in a Ramones Mondo Bizarro vintage t shirt, black cut-up jeans and a black trench coat. It was pretty hot in NYC yesterday, but you know how celebs like to stay “ahead” of the fashion game. Fall is right around the corner, so we assume Kim K is getting a head start.

That night...

 photo teaf10.png

Tennis champion Serena Williams opted for a night out on the town before she hits the court tonight to battle against her sister Venus Williams in the U.S. Open.

 photo teaf9.png

The 21-time Grand Slam champion linked up with her friend Kim K for a girls’ night out at the posh Carbone restaurant for some Italian eats. Chick showed off her killer abs in a crop top shirt, styled with a high-waisted skirt while comfortably rounding out her look with a pair of sneakers.

 photo teaf1.png

The ladies chopped it over over a cup of tea where Kim K captioned, "Sipping & spilling the tea tonight with Serena".  Yep, they're still friends, interestingly.

 

Tonight is the night! The Williams sisters will hit the tennis court in the 2015 U.S. Open Tennis Championship quarterfinals at 7:00pm ET. Serena will attempt to move one more step closer to becoming the first player since Steffi Graf to complete the calendar-year grand slam. And we will totally be watching.

 

Good luck ladies!

It's still warm enough to wear sexy dresses and open toes, and we've spotted Rihanna, Naomi Campbell and Amber Rose rocking some of the season's latest looks and showing off their killer legs.  More inside...

 photo teaf27.png

International fashion icon Rihanna painted the town red last night, attending several NYC hot spots with her close circle of friends.  What did she rock for the occasion?  We're glad you asked....

She wore a flirty 2015 Reformation wrap dress which she paired with a Dior mini bag (you'll recall she's the face of Dior) and DSquared Strappy Sandals from the Pre-Fall 2015 collection.  Those straps went all the way up-to-there:

 photo teaf11.png

HOT.  RiRi began her evening at Gramercy Theatre where she watched rapper and her close friend Travis Scott perform. From there, she headed to Catch where her bestie Melissa Forde hosted a party.

 photo teaf7.png

But the night was still young so she, Melissa and Travis headed over to The Spotted Pig where they dined with Kanye West. #Jealous

How did YOU spend your Sunday evening?

In case you missed it, Travis has been touched by some controversy. Negative comments he made during a concert in March 2015 have come back to haunt him. A video shows him telling a crowd “I ain’t cool with none of you f*ggots who just sitting here looking like a bunch of queers.”

Well....the clip recently made a few rounds on social media, forcing Travis to apologize.

 

Via Twitter he said:

Supermodel Naomi Campbell (wearing Alexander McQueen) headed to The Merrion Hotel yesterday for a very special announcement.

 photo teaf14.png

She's been revealed as new face of Newbridge Silverware. Yes...at 45-years-old Naomi is still slaying and snatching contracts (and a few wigs too).

 photo teaf15.png

In case you're keeping score, Naomi is currently the face of the Italian luxury lingerie brand La Perla, clothing and merchandise giant Burberry, and it's rumored her Newbridge deal cost the company $220K!

 

In Times Square....

 photo teaf2.png 

Amber Rose was spotted leaving MTV Studios with tv personality Nessa.

 photo teaf3.png

Amber was in town to tape an appearance on "Girl Code" where she touted her upcoming "LA SlutWalk" and forthcoming manual How To Be A Bad Bitch.

 photo teaf4.png

For folks who don't take Amber seriously, it's worth reporting that her slut walk SOLD OUT.  That's right....over 6,000 people are already on board to join her and attack double standards.

Do you boo.
