Think Like A Man actress Meagan Good celebrated 2 weeks atop the box office charts by hitting up the staples Center last night with her new fiance DeVon Franklin.

 

Check out the cute twosome sharing some nachos...and Meagan flaunting that ring...

Dressed in a tan baseball cap, black hoodie & tshirt & jeans, the laid back actress looked her usual pretty self while kickin' it courtside at Game 1 of the Lakers vs. Nuggets playoff series.  And we're finally seeing that beautiful rock of hers. Clearly her fiance is making her a happy woman as she was glowing makeup free:

If she wasn't known as one of the sweetest women in Hollywood (surprising I know), we'd be tempted to hate her and her effortless cuteness.  Can't wait to see the wedding pics!

Hardcore Laker fan Ice Cube made his way to the Staples center with his sons in tow to watch the Lakers take home the win.  Loves Cube as a dad.

"BBW" Producers THREATENING Jennifer Williams With Legal Action Over Trash-Talking + Mary J. Blige SET TO STAR On E!'s "Opening Act"

0

"Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Wiiliams may soon regret filing a lawsuit (if she planned to do another season) against Nia Crooks as VH1 producers are now threatening their own lawsuit saying Jennifer violated her contract.  Get the deets inside and find out about Mary J. Blige's new E! competition show.

 

After filing suit against Nia Crooks for slapping her on "BBW," Jennifer Williams' press tour, where she said the show degraded women, may soon land her in hot water with producers of the show.

According to TMZ,  the show's execs are currently in talks to file a lawsuit against Jen saying her show-bashing is in violation of her contract -- which forbids cast members from doing any media appearances or press without approval, or speaking negatively about the show.  Maybe her lawyers should have found a way to not mention the show itself and still get her point across.

If all these folks actually make it to the "reunion show," it's going to be some foolish television.

 

Speaking of television:

 

 

E! has announced the addition of "Opening Act" to its lineup and the show stars Mary J. Blige!  On the new talent competition show, headlined by "American Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, Mary J. Blige and producer Antonina Armato, the three will comb the Internet and give talented amateurs the chance to open for an A-list music star.

It sounds like this could be a fun show as they have lined up some heavyweights.  Music acts that have signed on to let an aspiring musician open for one show on their current tour are Nicki Minaj, Rod Stewart, LMFAO, Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, Jason Mraz and Gym Class Heroes.

The amateurs will get the news via host Olivia Lee and will be brought to Hollywood for an extreme ‘performance boot camp’ and intense mentoring sessions with top industry heavyweights.  

"Opening Act" premieres July 9. 

 

BONUS: Think Like A Man tops the box office for the second week in a row, beating out the new Jason Segal/Emily Blunt movie 5-Year Engagement.  The movie raked in close to $17.4 million, for a cumulative of $60.8 mill gross revenue.  But it's a win/win for comedian Kevin Hart as he co-stars in both movies.  Congrats to the cast & crew!

1.  Based on a press release from Aretha's camp, Aretha Franklin wants Audra McDonald to play her in biopic.  

RUMOR CONTROL: Toya Wright--I'm NOT Pregnant!

There's no baby for reality star & author Toya Wright & her music executive hubby Memphitz...yet.  Toya Wright confirmed to TheYBF.com that rumors of her expecting a second child are indeed false.  Deets inside....

After the above pic circulated the web yesterday, accompanied with rumors she's in her second trimester, Toya confirmed to TheYBF.com today that it's all false.  She tells us it's just a rumor, and she's NOT pregnant.

The mom of 13-year-old Reginae Carter says the picture is old, and she didn't post it this weekend as certain sites reported.  But she did post pics of her and her girls drinking margaritas and partying it up at Club Play in Miami this weekend:

So Reginae will have to hold off on gaining another little sibling...for now.  Unless her daddy Lil Wayne has some baby news soon, which isn't that unlikely....

SPOTTED: Mama Keyshia Cole Hits The Park With Hubby Daniel Gibson & Baby DJ

Singer Keyshia Cole was on mommy duty yesterday as she was spotted running around the park in West Hollywood with her baller hubby Daniel "Boobie" Gibson and their son Daniel, Jr (DJ).  Check out the pics of a platinum blonde Keyshia in her hot pink kicks inside...

In her multi-colored shorts, denim jacket and hot pink sneakers, 30-year-old Keyshia Cole ran behind her baby boy DJ, who turned 2 last month, with toys and a shirt-tuck-in at the park yesterday.  26-year-old Cleveland Cavalier Daniel had a season ending injury in the March 19th game against the NJ Nets.  And he recently had surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left foot and ankle.

Is somebody still going to air the couple's Hawaiian wedding they filmed last September for the reality show we still haven't heard more details about?  Hmm...

And seeing that she deleted her Twitter account a couple weeks ago, hopefully Daniel will keep us in the loop.  Her hubby tweeted that Keyshia is focusing on her music and he relays the message that her fans miss her.  All these Twitter deletions...Whatever happened to just logging off and not logging back in?  Interesting...

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Beyonce Posts More Vacay Pics, Calls Fake Pregnancy Rumors "Crazy"

In case you missed it, Beyonce Knowles has a few new pics from vacay and time with her hubby Jay-Z & bestie Gwyneth Paltrow.  Check out her cute new flicks, plus her quotes in the new People magazine about those "crazy" fake pregnancy rumors...

Updating her new Tumblr site sporadically, Beyonce posted a few new pics of her and best friend Gwyneth Paltrow chillin' out...extra hard.  As well as her and Jay on vacay both a while back and recently for their anniversary in St. Barts:

And their own courtside view from the Knicks game a few weeks ago.  Cute.

Beyonce finally addressed those frivolous fake pregnancy rumors in the new People magazine where Beyonce is named The World's Most Beautiful Person.  She may have shrugged it off, but MaMa Tina spoke on just how hurtful the rumors were:

“That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy,” Beyonce said. “[I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”

Someone who didn’t take the rumors so lightly? Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles. “I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months. As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors,” Knowles said. “And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”

Knowles also addressed the now infamous Australian TV interview that first sparked and amplified rumors of a faked pregnancy. “It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold?” the protective grandma said. “Oh my gosh, so stupid.”

Who's ready for Memorial Day Weekend?

Also, it might be fun to see Lamar make a huge NBA comeback.

DENIM: How are you balancing the many faucets of your career and being a mommy?
CM: #TeamNoSleep – that’s what I live by! I have a nanny and family to help and I try to bring Violet everywhere I can.

DENIM: What’s a day in the life of Christina Milian?
CM: Wake up, bathe and feed Violet, answer emails and business questions with my Mother. Then I work out, head to meetings, and later have a glass of wine with my girlfriends. After that, I head home and continue business and mommy-hood until the day ends. Maybe even go to the studio- late.

DENIM: Post divorce, how is your relationship with The Dream?
CM: He and I are cool now. We have a good rapport with each other and are focused on Violet living a happy life.

DENIM: Spin the threads. Are you currently dating? Are you looking to re-marry someday?
CM: Not into dating. I don’t want to waste time on someone else to break my heart, take up my time or even deal with another character. I’m happy being a mom and staying focused. NO DRAMA!

DENIM: If you decided to start dating, what characteristics in a man do you find attractive?
CM: Humble, funny, focused and can communicate well. He’s got to be interesting!

DENIM: Congratulations on your new role for the 2nd season of The Voice! What exactly is that role and do you have any expectations? What can we [viewers] expect?
CM: I’m the host of all their web connects- from Facebook to Twitter to my own personal “Voice” blog.

MAGAZINE FAB: Monica & Brandy COVER EBONY Magazine's JUNE 2012 Music Issue, Brandy Wants Ryan To POP THE QUESTION

EBONY Magazine tapped two of the hottest stars in R&B, Monica and Brandy, to cover their June 2012 music issue. See the cover inside and find out what Brandy said about Ray J being misunderstood and why she can't wait to be engaged...

Monica and Brandy colorfully cover the June 2012 issue of EBONY Magazine where they dish on their lives and new albums, Monica's New Life and Brandy's Two-Eleven.

Monica expressed her excitement over the cover tweeting, Be sure to pick up @ebonymag new issue with @4everBrandy & myself on the cover.

In the mag, Brandy dishes on her new relationship and comments on Ray J/Kim K.

Brandy on the status of her relationship with her boyfriend:
I wish we were engaged. He’s taking a little long on the ring side of things, but I’m patient. I wanted to impress him. I wanted him to be proud of me; I was inspired by him. So making the record and his being there, it’s just all a part of it. Him and my daughter. I want him to love my songs. I want him to love my voice.


On rumors about her brother Ray J:
I know who he is. And I”m pissed off about some of the things I’ve been hearing. It really bothers me that [those are] the kind of things that people do for money.

He’s misunderstood. It’s one thing to have this image of [a ladies' man], but it’s another to become this other type of person that they’re trying to make my brother out to be. I know who he is. This is a man who loves his mama and his sister and his niece. Ray J loved Kim Kardashian. They were irresponsible with their–you know–but he loved her. For five years, he was with her. In his mind and in the world’s mind, he was in my shadow for such a long time. To watch his sister become whatever I became and to not have that same path or that same way it happened for me; to be called ‘Brandy’s brother…’ To finally break out of it, you’re going to brag; you’re going to feel something about yourself. It’s not coming from a bad place, and I can tell you: Some of the shoes Ray J’s walking in, you’d take off immediately. You wouldn’t be able to handle the type of shoes he’s in.

 

The issue hits stands this month.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS: Shaunie O'Neal And Tracey Edmonds Producing "Basketball Women" Type MOVIE

0

Because watching grown women throw bottles of wine on the small screen wasn't enough, "Basketball Wives" producer Shaunie O'Neal has teamed with Tracey Edmonds to producing a full-fledged movie about women dating basketball players.  Deets inside.....

 

"BBW" exec producer Shaunie O'Neal has teamed with friend Tracey Edmonds and Fox Searchlight to create a movie about a fictional basketball wife/girlfriend.  

The project centers around a young woman who follows her boyfriend to Miami after he gets drafted into the NBA. Thrust into the world of professional sports, she meets the other players' wives and learns from their trials and tribulations.  Sounds like "The Game" but a movie version centered around basketball instead of football.

Tracey told VARIETY, "The beauty of a feature film is that we'll have the ability to dig much deeper into the stories and characters that come from this very colorful world and create a very juicy, action-packed narrative." She added that Shaunie reached out about the project via Twitter.

The movie will be penned by Jumping The Broom writer Elizabeth Hunter, while Glendon Palmer and Phil Robinson will executive produce.  

Hmm....this could go either way.  it could be like Love & Basketball OR go left and be about a "chick like Evelyn" meets a baller and has several fights along the way. 

Don't we already know the answer though...
