RiRi seems to have a thing for furry footwear. Remember when she was trekking all over Paris Fashion Week in a furry pair of flats? And remember those pink furry PUMA slippers she wore on her FADER magazine cover? Well, she's back on her furry steez.

Furry footwear can be tricky, but RiRi seems to pull it off, of course. The Pop princess was seen rocking a pair of gray fur Maison Margiela mules last night in NYC with her Miu Miu coat. The “BBHMM” singer was making her way inside a tattoo parlor Bang Bang in Manhattan to get some new ink before she hopped on a flight out of the Big Apple for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The blue haired beauty paired her shaggy shoes with a navy Miu Miu wool coat that matched her new hair hue. Definitely an interesting way to keep warm in the brick NYC weather, but she effortlessly pulls it off.

So....

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Rapper Lil Boosie shared some unfortunate news with his followers this morning: He has kidney cancer. More inside….

Down south rapper Lil Boosie took to his Instagram this morning to share some very unfortunate news with his fans. In a caption (that he has since deleted), the Baton Rouge rapper revealed he has been diagnosed with kidney cancer.

The 33-year-old rapper, who was released from jail in March 2014 after a 5-year bid, posted a picture of himself sitting before a table of food with the caption, “I need all my fans to pray for me. Doctor just told me I have cancer on my kidneys. Prayer is power that’s why I’m letting the world know prayfaboosie”.

According to TMZ, the reason Boosie deleted his caption is because he was advised by his team to take it down. The picture he posted is still up on his page, but the caption has been erased.

On top of dealing with his new diagnosis, Boosie has been battling diabetes as well. Sad.

Let’s keep Boosie in our prayers.

Janelle Monae and Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed were honored with awards at the Legacy Awards ceremony in ATL yesterday. Pics inside….

Uber fab chick Janelle Monae just keeps slaying these simple yet fab looks.

Last night, the Wondaland honcho rolled up to the Legacy Awards held at Tesla Atlanta Lenox Square rocking a white turtleneck dress accented with black designs that she paired with black thigh-high boots and topped it off with a burgundy hat.

The "Yoga" songstress always brings a fresh and funky look while rocking her signature black and white. Gorge.

The Legacy Awards honors those Atlanta community leaders who have made significant contributions to their professions and the community. Janelle and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed fit the bill and were honored with awards. They posed it up together along with his wife Sara-Elizabeth Reed and a guest.

Sisters of Choice, an organization dedicated to help reduce the incidence and severity of breast cancer by delivering innovative programs, sponsored the event.

Mayor Reed took the mic to speak a few words before the crowd of supporters.

Fab times. Congrats to them!

Tracy Morgan opens up in a candid interview with GQ where he talks about his 2nd chance at life, dealing drugs in the past, how comedy saved his life and much more. Read the highlights and get the deets on Serena Williams mourning the death of a good friend inside….

After almost losing his life in fatal automobile accident on the New Jersey Turnpike over a year ago, funnyman Tracy Morgan is ready to get back to his first love and what he credits for saving his life: Comedy.

In a very emotional and candid interview, the 47-year-old comedian talks to GQ magazine inside of his brand-new $14 million house about everything he has been through since that unexpected night that took the life of his close friend and comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair.

Since the accident, Walmart stepped up and took full responsibility and agreed to pay Tracy an undisclosed amount to settle. (“Let’s just say Walmart stepped up, for me and for Jimmy’s kids, and I’m very happy.”)

It has been a very long road to recovery, but thanks to his new wife Megan Wollover, his daughter Maven Morgan, comedy and “people who care,” Tracy is ready to make his triumphant return. And BRING it like never before.

With his new lease on life, the former 30 Rock comedian opens up his drug dealing past and how grateful he is to have another chance at life. As he talks about his ordeal he ends up getting super emotional which almost had us in tears just reading it. But, he wouldn’t be Tracy if he didn’t have a few laughable moments sprinkled in between….like when he talked about getting his wife pregnant again. Ha!

Below are a few highlights from his honest interview:

GQ: So, how are you?

I’m here. There’s a gift that God gave me to get me through all the ups and the downs in my life, and this tragic accident and all that. I’ve made people laugh along the way while I’ve recovered—little giggles, big laughs, outburst laughs—because that’s my nature.

Did you learn something in the recovery process that hadn’t occurred to you before?

Yeah: People care. People care a lot, that’s what I learned. People care. There’s so much negativity in the world that sometimes you feel like you could give up, and I had people who took care of me after the accident, and they never let me go. I feel it nowadays when I’m in the streets, when people say, “We love you. We miss you. We pray for you. We are so thankful that you’re on your feet.”

After days in a coma, what’s the first thing you remember when you came out?

I don’t remember none of that stuff.…

Nothing at all?

No, you don’t want to. My brain doctors all say, “You don’t want to remember that.” It’s something in your brain that is protecting you.

Your wife, Megan, made a mix that she played for you when you were in the coma—what was on it?

Everything. A lot of old-school R&B. “Do the Hustle.” She said in my coma I did the hustle all night long with no bullshit going on, just the hustle all night long. It was all the music that I loved to listen to: Sly and the Family Stone; Michael Jackson, because I’m the biggest Michael Jackson fan; Prince, I’m the biggest Prince fan; Stephanie Mills; old-school hip-hop. She put the O’Jays on, and it just kept playing for two weeks straight. She’s trying to bring her man back, to come home, and one day I came home.

And now you’re married.

I’ve got a dime. Oh yeah, she’s a dime, my wife is gorgeous, fucking dime piece. A million women in the world can’t fuck with that—she ain’t five pennies and a nickel, she ain’t ten pennies. She’s a fucking dime! And I know it. I’ve got a fetish for my wife. When I leave here, I’ll go on and get her pregnant. You know me: I’m old-school. I don’t use no rubbers, and I don’t pull out. “Tracy, stop, pull out!” I said who, what, when, where, why, for…whoops! Now my daughter’s here. Life is good, God is great. Can’t turn that funny off, it is what it is.

When you first came out…

I wasn’t in a good place. I didn’t get into a good place until maybe ten months later. I started to remember and think and all of that stuff. They taught me how to walk again, and stand up and sit up again, and it was really painful for a long time. I did therapists, did cognitive what do they call it? Did cognitive therapy. Still doing it.… That therapy, the psychiatrist had to keep going back to see me. People look at you like you…excuse me… [He gets emotional.]

Yeah, no, it’s scary....

I’m here. And—always been spiritual. Physical death is so permanent, so final, but when we are on a spiritual level, that means we transcend. Yoko Ono said it best when John Lennon died. She allowed herself to grieve. Grieve. Grieve a few months. I don’t feel sorry for Jimmy. Jimmy was a good man—I know he home. We still dealing with this shit down here. Jimmy’s home. Jimmy’s with us. He wasn’t a sorry person. He was a good man, I know he with God, I don’t even worry about that.

But how did it become a thing, your profession? Because you were dealing, too, right?

Drugs. Say it. That’s what I did, it was part of my life.

Were you a bad drug dealer?

Yeah.

Why?

I wasn’t willing to go that far.

To the violent part of it?

I would rather have been ridiculed. But all the kids in my neighborhood were selling drugs. I’m part of the ’80s generation, the lost generation. We dealt with crack, AIDS—so our generation is wiped out. Because of that, it was so easy, so accessible, everybody making tons of money off of it, and little did we know we destroyed our own community.

But you weren’t afraid, going from the streets to the stage?

By the time I got to the workshop, I had a wife and kids. I got fired from every shitty job in New York, so I could joke about all that shit. I had no time to be afraid. I let other people be afraid.

But still, there must have been…

Look, I did all this shit without a GED. I loved dropping out of school. I dropped out of high school with four credits to go. I loved that shit. I wish I could go back and drop out again. I love it when a plan works, because everybody says, “You ain’t going to be shit.” Now look at me. I loved dropping out of high school. I might have been stuck in some fucked-up job. And I’m not lifting no heavy boxes for no-fucking-body! Fuck you, FedEx, and your fucking heavy boxes. Feel my hands, Mike! See how soft they are? You know why? Because all I do is count money and touch bitches. I’m just joking! I’ve been making people laugh my whole life. It’s second nature.

Will the comedy be different?

I think it will be deeper, I think it is going to be funnier—but who knows? I want to see the funny for myself—let’s check it out. Take it out for a test-drive. I’m going to take my sense of humor to the next level, my life. But right now, that’s all I look forward to: that first laughter. Will Ferrell told me, “You know how much a polar bear weighs? Enough to break the ice.” See, that’s good. Break the ice, then buckle up, and let’s enjoy the fucking ride. Buckle up, kids, it’s about to get wild and woolly! I faced death and all that shit. It’s my responsibility to come back and come back strong. It’s going to take more than a Walmart truck to take that gift away. I can’t wait to make you all laugh. Especially you, Mike. And I already did that today. So all is good.

You can read his full interview here. 

Check out a behind-the-scenes clip from the photoshoot below:

Whew! We love how Tracy can still find the funny even in the midst of his troubles. We wish him the best and can't wait until he makes his official return to comedy.

In sad news...

Tennis champion Serena Williams is mourning the death of a lifelong friend, her dog Jackie whom she had since she was 17.

The 34-year-old tennis superstar posted up a series of SnapChat videos yesterday crying while her pup Jackie laid beside her barely holding on. Unfortunately, little Jackie didn’t make it. She then had to hop on a flight to Denmark while mourning the death of her precious pup. She posted a tribute to her fur baby on Instagram saying:

Aww. Our thoughts are with you 'Rena!

Kyrie Irving is a daddy!  Yes, for real.  Deets on the new bundle of joy the Cavs baller just welcomed, plus Kelly Rowland out and about with baby Titan Jewel and Mama Tina inside...

Basketball star Kyrie Irving just became a dad.  Back in September, we told you about the baller getting a paternity test to prove he IS the father of former Miss Texas 2010 Andrea Wilson's baby. 

After Kyrie put out the statement saying he's dying to be the daddy of ex-boo Andrea's baby and was ready to put up child support, Andrea hit back.  Hard.  She told media:

“Kyrie has had no participation. He is only seeking custody to look good for the press.”

“I’ve paid for and handled everything on my own without ANY support from him. I have no connection with him nor do I seek any connection to him.”

Bloop.  Well, it looks like all is fine and good now because Kyrie was front and center at the hospital when Andrea gave birth two days ago.  He posted a pic of him and his new baby girl having some skin-to-skin time, and explained why he named her after his mother:

Azurie Elizabeth Irving 11/23/15 35 hours of labor from her great mother and she came into the world to bring a shine to my world that I never thought was possible. I love you so much, and my heart grew the first time I felt your heart against mine. Mommy, I gave her your name because I know you will bless her and our family the same way you blessed me. I love you.

Sweet.  Congrats to the new parents.

Speaking of parents:

Kelly Rowland hit the streets of L.A. with baby Titan Jewel yesterday.  The hot mama, dressed in all black and a chic Maison Michel hat, was spotted out with Mama Tina Knowles.

How cute.  Looks like they were getting in some last minute Thanksgiving grocery shopping, and you know Ms. Tina throws DOWN.

Kelly is currently rocking out our TV, thanks to College Football. 

ESPN’s new commercial, which recently debuted, showcases Kelly alongside Rob Thicke and others having a party and singing with each other while watching a big announcement about the first official rankings of the season.  Several spots, which will be part of the Who's In campaign, will run through the crowning of the National Champion in January 2016.

If you’re going to take marriage advice from someone, you may as well take it from someone who has been in the game for at 20 years (and counting). Will Smith reveals the secret on how he and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have beat the odds and have shared two decades of marital bliss. Find out what he said inside….

When it comes to Hollywood marriages, we know long lasting ones come very far and few between. But, one YBF couple seems to have figured out the “secret” on how to keep it tight and now they’re dishing the deets. So listen up.

Will Smith, who’s gearing up to star in the new NFL flick Concussion, chopped it up with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere (Get those pics HERE!) about what it takes to have a successful and loving marriage, especially one in the limelight. He spilled,

“We've been married 20 years and we've been asking ourselves [what’s the secret to marriage] and really at the end of the day it’s just not quitting.”

Will and Jada started dating in 1995 and then tied the knot two years later. They share two children together, Jaden and Willow, and a son Trey, whom Will had from a previous relationship.

The YBF couple not only went through their own issues behind closed doors, but they also had to endure divorce rumors that would pop up what seems like at LEAST 3-4 times a year. Just like any other relationship, you have to put in the work to make it work and never give up. He continued,

“You can’t expect it to be easy, it’s like our marriage was the most difficult, grueling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know were just not quitters. If there is a secret I would say is that we never went into working in our relationship. We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously.”

Take notes people! Will is dropping martial gems. We wish Will and Jada nothing but the best, and here’s to 20+ years for them.

Concussion hits theaters Christmas Day.

Our fab First Daughters Sasha and Malia Obama prove what a YBF Teen should look like while attending a presidential event. Peep pics of the Obama girls along with their dad President Barack Obama as he pardons the National Thanksgiving Turkey inside…

First Daughters Sasha and Malia Obama joined their father President Barack Obama during the annual turkey pardoning ceremony in the Rose Garden at the White House today.  The super tall and super gorgeous ladies are growing up right before our eyes.  P.S. We're loving those new specs Sasha!

POTUS kept with the Thanksgiving tradition by pardoning the National Thanksgiving turkeys named Honest and Abe. A grade school in California had the honor of naming the turkeys.

This year, the White House asked the public to choose which turkey would hold the official title by casting their votes via Twitter. Abe prevailed as the winner.

 Malia (17) and Sasha (14), who looked way happier this year compared to last year’s ceremony, kept it extra fab. Last year, both girls looked totally overthe whole situation, but this year brought many laughs, smiles and giggles as they stood alongside their dad as he cracked jokes.

Malia looked super cute in a striped turtleneck shirt (from American Apparel), a dark green mini skirt with tights, black flat boots topped with a two-tone coat. Little sister Sasha was equally fab rocking a cream sweater, a denim miniskirt (both from American Apparel) with tights and flat boots. And we noticed both girls rocking the high socks with their flat boots. Loves it.

So chic.

Fab times.

The Obamas also served meals with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing and more at a homeless center in a Washington, DC, church today (Wednesday).  Check out the video below:

It’s that time of year again! YBF celebs are giving back to the community before they feast on Thanksgiving dinner with their families. Peep pics of T.I., Fabolous, Sevyn Streeter, Niecy Nash, Miguel and more inside….

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And on the eve before the day we give thanks for everything we’re grateful for, a few YBF celebs took time out of their busy schedules to give back to community.

Today in Atlanta...

Rapper/actor T.I. hosted his 12th annual Hustle Gang Holiday event where he and his crew gave out turkeys to those less fortunate. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed joined forces with the Kang of the South to give back to the community.

When you’re a father of six (and one possibly on the way), you must train up a child in the way he/she should go. So, Tip brought his boys along to help hand out the turkeys. He said on Instagram, “Start em young... Make em Solid!!! To live above average is to accept the responsibility of giving back to those who live below average. Been blessed to be able to do so for 12yrs... #GodisGreat #FamilyHustle #HustleGangOverErrrthang” Nice!

Another rapper giving back...

Fabolous returned to his hometown of Bedford Styvesant, Brooklyn to give back to the community. He linked up with the Bed Stuy Campaign Against Hunger Pantry to pass out turkeys to those in need today.

He captioned on IG, “Thank You @bscahnyc for having us be apart of the Bed Stuy Campaign Against Hunger Pantry. No better feeling than giving back to those in your own neighborhood & helping families enjoy their holiday. #HappyThanksgiving #BedStuyCampaignAgainstHunger #TheFamily #RocGiving"

Rather than pass out cold turkeys, “Scream Queens” star Niecy Nash helped pass out hot meals in L.A. today. She teamed up with a few of her fellow actor friends to hand out food at the LA Mission to the homeless on Skid Row.

Photogs caught Niecy snapping a selfie with "Shameless" star Emmy Rossum.

Back down south....

Fresh from her 7-city tour, R&B singer Sevyn Streeter traveled to her hometown of Polk County, Florida to hand out 200 turkeys to people in need. She teamed up with professional boxer Andre Berto, who recently fought against Floyd Mayweather, to spread good cheer to the folks in their hometown.

After passing out food...

The twosome then spoke some inspirational words to a few kiddies. Awesome.

Back in L.A....

R&B crooner Miguel and his longtime girlfriend Nazanin Mandi got to work boxing up food for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

On Instagram, Miguel shared a startling fact about starvation saying, “Did you know that 1 in 6 in Los Angeles go hungry everyday? There's so much that needs to be done man, happy we could help a little w @lafoodbank. They're one of the top 3 in the country ensuring 97 cents of every dollar actually goes to feeding those in need here in LA! @nazaninmandi @torrishack”

Over the weekend, rapper Fetty Wap took his daughter on a shopping spree in his hometown of Patterson, New Jersey. Apparently, Fetty was so overjoyed to spend time with his baby girl that he decided to throw $2,000 over a balcony at the Garden State Plaza Mall. On Twitter he tweeted:

Got to see my daughter today , took her shoppin and I was so happy I threw 2k in the mall never no who needed it #Wap

Yes, he literally made it rain in the mall and, of course, fans went into a frenzy trying to catch those dollars flying from the sky.Check it above and below.

K. Michelle is giving followers a sneak peek into a track that will likely appear on her third album, I Aint White But I Hope You Lie It.

She just titled her upcoming third album I Aint White But I Hope You Like It. She went off about doing so saying to a fan:

I'm sick of executives telling me I can't sing certain songs because I'm black. I grew up on country, let me sing.

So since they won't let her sing what SHE wants to sing, check out the sneak peek into her upcoming album':

 

And to think I thought you broke down, never thought that I'd get up off the ground. #album3 #latimes

This should be interesting...

Mack Wilds has been blowing up more than ever.  The former "The Wire" star is in Adele's new "Hello" video circulating everywhere and he's got a new project hitting VH1 soon  called "The Breaks."

So it's only right he drop a track in the midst of everything.  Check out "Love In the 90z" below:

Vh1’s THE BREAKS premiere’s January 4, 2016 on VH1!

Tinashe is DAZED magazine's Winter cover girl.  The "Player" chick who knows how to sing over a catchy beat is getting her shine in a profile piece where she takes the writer shopping at the Galleria in L.A.

Here's a few things we learned (other than she groans throughout the interview because of how badly her feet her in her stilettos she's walking ariund in.)

On dropping out of school:

“I was a straight-A student,” she says, but Tinashe wasn’t just another overachiever trying to impress college committees. In fact, she was restless and saw little point in finishing a formal education at all, quitting at 15 to pursue her pop ambitions full-time, with a handful of acting credits already to her name (she appeared aged nine in The Polar Express alongside Tom Hanks).

On her family's reaction:

It was a symbolic moment for her family, who are academics at heart. Her mother, Aimie (of Danish, Norwegian and Irish descent), is a physical therapist while her father, Michael, is a professor of theatre at Cal State Pomona. “They’re both educators but they didn’t stress for me to finish college or anything,” says Tinashe as we cruise into Glendale. She even credits her dad, a stage actor originally from Zimbabwe, for giving her the showbiz bug from an early age. “He’s an actor and director – he instilled a love of performing on the stage in me, and never discouraged my dreams or goals.”

On striving for more than marriage:

“I don’t feel the need to be super-conservative in my choices or be a typical ‘role model’. I think I can influence girls to be independent – how to make their own decisions, how to go after their goals and not just sit around waiting to get married”

On if she wants mainstream riches and success like her former tour partner Nicki Minaj said she wants by following Jay Z's blueprint:

“Yes, but not in a super-literal way,” she says. “I don’t really care about making a lot of money, but I care about being the most successful. I don’t necessarily consider dollar signs the most successful. You shouldn’t get into the music business because you’re trying to get rich – there are so many career goals that are way easier, way less work, way less stress, and you’ll make way more money.”

Check out video from the set of her shoot below and get her full interview here:

And finally:

 

#RemyMa is already coming out the gate swinging before #LAHHNY kicks off.

Y'all, Remy Ma is about that life and she wants the world to be aware. The rapstress hits "LAHHNY" next season with her husband Papoose, so she's handing out warning already. Don't come for her unless she sends for you....with bullets. Check out the video snippet above.

Things got super weird during a Thanksgiving segment on FOX News when white co-host Brian Kilmeade asks black co-host Harris Faulkner if she makes Kool-Aid. Say what? Sound off inside….

It’s one thing to have your own stereotypes about certain races and cultures, but it’s another when you project those stereotypes against a person on national television.

Yesterday, FOX News host Harris Faulker, who co-hosts on “Outnumbered,” joined co-hosts on "Fox & Friends" for a Thanksgiving cooking segment along with her daughter Bella. Harris and her daughter came on the show to prepare a fresh batch of peach cobbler and to share a few tips with the audience.

Yeah, you already know where this is going.

As Harris and Bella began cooking, the co-hosts were chit-chatting with each other when Brian Kilmeade decides to ask Harris, “Do you make Kool-Aid?”

Clearly taken aback a little, Harris responds, “Uhh…do I do what?”

Ha!

Then he has the nerve to ask her again saying, “Make Kool-Aid?”

Harris then hesitates a bit and answers, “Uhh…no. I-I don’t make Kool-Aid.”

Um, SIR?! Really?

Check it below:

Did you notice the look on co-host Steve Doocy’s face? The way he turned and stared at Brian after he asked that idiotic (and racist) question. 

Anywho, in case you haven't heard, Elizabeth Hasselbeck said last week she's stepping away from the show.  Maybe even SHE is getting tired of their B.S.

Thoughts?

After Chris Rock revealed he hadn't seen -- in almost a year -- the youngest child who has been living in his household, eyebrows were raised.  Find out what the current custody situation is between Chris and estranged wife Malaak Rock as Malaak speaks up...

News about a child living with Chris and Malaak illegally hit the net this week once Chris filed custody docs questioning how Malaak brought the South African-born little girl into their home.  Seven-year-old Ntombi came to live with The Rocks right before her first birthday, and she's been raised as their third daughter ever since, this according to Malaak.

TMZ reported this week:

Around the same time as divorce docs were filed, South African officials opened an investigation to determine how the child went from their country to the U.S., when there was no evidence of a legal adoption.

As for why he went radio silent with Ntombi ... sources connected to Chris say he never signed legal docs to adopt her, and bringing her over to the U.S. was all Malaak's doing.

Now, Malaak is popping back.  And she's telling Chris he needs to pay child support for Ntombi and not try to get out of doing so.  He only claimed to have two children (their biological daughters) in his divorce docs.  Oh, and she has words about why she definitely needs spousal support as well.

People.com says:

...the pair continue to hash out the details of their divorce in court – including whether the comedian should support a child who, Malaak says in a new statement to PEOPLE, was raised as their own for years and was "cherished and adored."

The statement reads:

"Although Chris Rock is a celebrity, Malaak and the children are not. Protecting the privacy of her family remains of utmost importance to Malaak. She is saddened by recent tabloid media reports which are full of erroneous speculation and inaccuracies that are hurtful to three innocent young girls. While the adoption by Malaak is not yet finalized, it is actively in process under the rigorous guidelines and safeguards of international adoption policy. The child is in the country lawfully with the written consent of her birth parents, and while here, has been cherished and adored by the entire Rock family."

Then, there's this:

Compton-Rock also stated that the girl "has been raised by the parties as a member of the family and has been solely supported by the parties. She also stated that she continues to be the girl's primary caregiver.

In other words, you helped me raise this child as ours, so pay up.

As for spousal support, Chris says Malaak has the ability to work so he shouldn't have to pay her anything.  Malaak ain't having that.

People.com reveals:

In his original filing Rock states that his estranged wife "has the ability to work and contribute to her own support, as well as the support and other financial needs of the children."

However, in Compton-Rock's counterclaim, she states that she and the children were "fully supported financially by the Plaintiff [Rock] throughout the marriage. Defendant, with Plaintiff's support and encouragement, was a stay at home mother raising the parties' children and otherwise devoted her time to charitable and philanthropic endeavors."

She is requesting that Rock continue to support her and the kids "commensurate with the marital standard of living."

This is getting messy.  The estranged couple have a tentative custody trial set for next year.

Chris Brown got into the holiday spirit passing out thousands of turkeys in Queens. After giving back to the community, he then hit the stage to perform a new track on “Jimmy Fallon.” More inside….

It’s the Holiday season and the YBF celebs are showing up and showing out.

Yesterday, Chris Brown trekked to Queens, NY to pass out 2,000 turkeys to families in need. Breezy and his crew rolled up to South Jamaica Houses in a big truck with turkeys piled high up in the back looking like Bumpy & Frank Lucas from the movie American Gangster.

On Instagram CB challenged his celeb friends to give back to their communities rather than spend their money frivolously on material things. He wrote, "I honestly challenge the celebrities. We think about ourselves all the time and take everything for granted. Driving nice cars, jewelry, pretending to be something we aren't. Let's give back because it's the right thing to do."

It appears Breezy received some help from his homie 50 Cent being that Breezy went back to his hometown to give back. CB thanks Fif on Instagram, so we assume the “Power” star donated something to the cause. 50 also posted a video of Breezy passing out the turkeys with the caption, “The homie CB gave out turkeys in my hood today. This boy on fire, ain't nobody fucking wit him right now. #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO”

The "Loyal" singer even stopped to snap a few pics with fans.

Peep a few clips of Breezy in action below:

Royalty drops December 18th and will be available for pre-order this Black Friday.

Last night was Drake Night in the 6.  The Toronto Raptors Team Ambassador, who takes his role quite seriously, and his mom Sandi Hotline Bling'd it from a custom built box to the announcer's booth to courtside as his team took on the Cavs.  We've got it all inside...

Lawdt why is Drake So.Damn.Fine these days?!

Anywho, the Toronto rapper was back home chillin' with his fam and friends.  He took full advantage of his courtside status to bring his friends and his mom Sandra along for the big night.

For Drake Night, Drizzy was given a custom jersey-lined coat and even got to announce the starters at the top of the game.

The rapper/actor got even cuter when we spotted him being super sweet with his mom, you know, the woman he puts above all others in his life.  Gotta love it.

He chopped it up with (and yelled at) the players from the sidelines:

And after having some fun in the custom built "Hotline Bling" box, he danced it up and chilled on the sidelines:

Fab times.

Jeezy replenishes the hood with food for the Holidays while J. Cole took time out his schedule to surprise a cancer stricken teen fan in the hospital. Check it inside…

Rapper Jeezy & his Street Dreamz Foundation (which he recently re-launched) teamed up with the Atlanta Hawks Foundation to feed the hood yesterday.

The Church In These Streets rapper provided 200 boxes to families in the Atlanta area in need. Each box included a turkey or ham, corn, green beans, stuffing, rolls and cranberry sauce. Not only did he help provide the food, he also personally handed out boxes at Mt. Sanai Baptist Church:

We love it.

Along with their food, families also received a bouquet of flowers and TWO tickets to a Hawks game. We know they’re loving that!

Another rapper giving back this Holiday season....

Conscious rapper J. Cole traveled to his home state of North Carolina to pay a surprise visit to a teen who is battling cancer.

The teen fan, named Tae Steakhouse, was surprised with a visit from the "Crooked Smile" rapper in the hospital where they snapped a picture together to capture the moment. The visit was arranged by his mom and aunt. After his meeting his with idol, Tae did what most teens do and shared his amazing picture on his Facebook page. He happily captioned,

"I really appreciate this just wanna give a big s/o to my mom and my aunt for bringing my favorite rapper to see me. I'm proud to say that I'm blessed even tho I have cancer he told me to keep positive so that's what Ima do. Thanks j.cole #RoleModel.”

Aww…J. Cole just keeps making our crush grow even stronger.

Kanye West, North West, Tyga and their "new family" enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Khloe’s house yesterday. Afterwards, Kanye & Kim went to the hospital to visit Lamar Odom at his bedside. Pics inside…

What did a couple of your fave -- well, fave to talk about -- rappers do for the Thanksgiving?

Kanye West along with his daughter North West and his pregnant wife Kim Kardashian West went to Khloe Kardashian’s house for Thanksgiving dinner this year. And the entire blended family was there to celebrate the holiday.

Tyga joined his on-again girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner’s boo Corey Gamble was in attendance and so was Kris’ ex-husband Caitlyn Jenner. Kourtney's longtime boyfriend and father of her children Scott Disick (who recently left rehab) was also in the mix.

Kylie captioned the picture on Instagram saying,"thankful for my blended family."

Hmm..where's Khloe's current boo James Harden?

After dinner...

Kim and Kanye traveled to the hospital to go visit Lamar Odom at his bedside. The couple was spotted getting buzzed in as Kim chatted on her cell phone. Khloe posted on her website that she was planning to go see her husband Lamar as well after supper.

'Ye looks totally over it.

We're sure they made Lamar's day though, especially since he's stuck in a hospital on Thanksgiving.

James Wright has fulfilled his dream y'all!  The #PattiPies super fan who went viral was invited to Patti Labelle's house for Thanksgiving Dinner.  And it was everything.  Get their Holiday sing-off and more inside....

After Vlogger James Wright "reviewed" Patti Labelle's Sweet Potato Pies in one of the funniest videos to ever hit the net, and those pies FLEW off the shelves in literally ALL of America....Patti invited him to Thanksgiving dinner at her house. 

Yes, the invite came after she tried to play him out saying SHE is the reason her pies sold out and not that video.  We're sure James doesn't care how he got the invite, because he was happy as pie (see what we did there) while chilling with Patti.

The Roots' Questlove was also at Patti's Thanksgiving dinner and he snapped a pic of James Vlogging the experience.

Ha.

By the way, it looks like Patti sent James some goodies as well.  He Instagrammed the pic above thanking Patti for everything.

Inside the yummy dinner (that we're super jealous we weren't invited to), James' wishes came true and he sang duets with Patti herself.  Check out their sing off and dancing below:

Some Thanksgiving drama has been brewing on social media and in the courts. Find out about Deion Sanders’ big win against his ex-wife Pilar Sanders and how Christina Milian was putting her hurt feelings on display via Twitter inside…

Remember when we told you that former NFL superstar Deion Sanders had filed a defamation suit against his ex-wife Pilar Sanders around this time last year (that alsolanded her in JAIL)? Well, the verdict is in and Deion came out victorious.

The NFL network analyst and Pro Football Hall of Famer filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife after she accused him of multiple crimes, including child abuse, spousal abuse, assault, AND attempted murder. Chick was bashing Deion on all her social media accounts. At the time, he was seeking $200,000 to $1 million in damages, but it appears he got way more than he initially asked for.

According to TMZ, Deion’s attorney confirmed the former NFLer was awarded $2.2 million in the judgment against Pilar, but he won’t actually receive that amount. The money he won offsets any money he would have paid in their divorce settlement, so he owes not one dime. Bloop!

In fact, she will still owe him 7 figures. Sheesh! But, Pilar isn’t going down without a fight…of course. She and her attorney plan to appeal.

These TWO….

In other break-up news...

We all know Christina Milan and Lil Wayne"broke up." Christina never missed a chance to talk about it. But, it appears chick may not be over the Young Money honcho entirely.

Yesterday, flicks of Wayne’s longtime girlfriend Dhea (did they ever actually break up?) popped up on social media of her hanging out with Weezy’s family for Thanksgiving (above). Apparently, that set C-Milli off.

The “Grandfathered” star hopped on Twitter to air out her frustrations about “someone” who keeps calling her and asking her to come see them. She claims she’s living the single life now and is completely over the situation. But umm…when you’re still voluntarily talking about it publicly, it’s obvious you’re not. Anywho, she tweeted:

Then a fan popped off on C-Milli calling her the "side chick." Bloop! The reality star responded, but it didn't make much sense. She said:

Hmph. Well, since she's over it, let's see if she'll finally stop talking about "it."

Erykah Badu has gifted her fans with a new mixtape for Black Friday and she joined forces with her baby daddy Andre 3000 and Drake for the musical project. Deets inside…

Erykah Badu is striking while the iron's hot after releasing her "Hotline Bling" remix joining forces with her baby daddy Andre 3000 on a new track titled "Hello." Instead of rapping, 3 Stacks is flexing his vocals with Erykah on the chorus and they sound amazing! Check it above.

The new track appears on the Soulful songstress' brand new mixtape titled, But You Caint Use My Phone, the follow-up to her 2010 New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh LP. The mixtape title is a reference to hit 1997 track “Tyrone,” a favorite around these parts.

There's another special guest appearance on the new mixtape. Drake drops a few bars on “U Use to Call Me” and "What's Your Phone Number," following Erykah’s remix to his hit track “Hotline Bling." So naturally, Drizzy would make an appearance.

Each song’s title on the mixtape makes a reference to telephones and "our own reliance on staying inter-connected,” according to a press release. Erykah’s “Hotline Bling” remix is also on the mixtape titled “Cel U Lar Device” and her recently released track “Phone Down.” According to Rolling Stone, Erykah hopped in the studio with producer Zach Witnessin to create a project filled with, which she has dubbed, "TRap&B" after her remix started gaining momentum. She wrote and recorded the entire project in 12 days. Nice.

Below is the full 11-track tracklist:

1. Caint Use My Phone Suite

2. Hi

3. Cell U Lar Device

4. Phone Down

5. U Use To Call Me feat. Drake

6. Mr. Telephone Man

7. U Don’t Have To Call

8. Whats Yo Phone Number feat Drake / Telephone (Ghost of Screw Mix)

9. Dial’afreaq

10. I’ll Call U Back

11. Hello feat. Andre 3000

You can download But You Caint Use My Phone exclusively via iTunes for one week, with streaming at Apple Music. If you don't have Apple Music, you can stream it here. Fans can download the entire project for a full release on December 4th.

Chris Brown has a new track titled “Fine By Me” to hold his fans over until the release of his Royalty disc. Take a listen inside.

Also, we’ve got two audition tapes of Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore impersonating NeNe Leakes for an alleged “Real Housewives” movie. The shade honey.  Get it all inside….

Chris Brown has been gearing up for the official release of his upcoming album Royalty, dropping new singles ("Zero," "Back To Sleep"), doing interviews, rocking late night TV performances and sampling tracks on social media.

Now, with his album available for pre-order, Breezy is gifting fans that sign-up a new cut, titled “Fine By Me,” from his seventh studio album that drops December 18th. And we’ve got the first listen.

Breezy’s 80s-inspired pop track is poppin' with a beat that makes you want to dance as he croons about not having a problem with a chick just hitting him up for the late night “D.” He sings:

“She only loves me when the lights are out, lights are out / She only loves me when the sun is down, sun is down / She only loves me when no one’s around, no one’s around / She only loves me cause I put it down / And it’s fine by me”

Get your dance on below:

Do we love it?!

In reality TV news...

So…we’re not exactly sure how real these “audition tapes” are, but one thing’s for sure, the shade is so real.

“Watch What Happens Live's” official YouTube page uploaded a few videos of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore “auditioning” for an alleged movie titled, “Real Housewives: The Movie.”

In both clips, the ladies are imitating one of former co-star NeNe Leakes’ infamous catfights with former co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann. (SIDEBAR: Did you know Kim’s 18-year-old daughter Brielle got lip injections recently AND documented it on social media? Chile…)

Porsha and Kenya do their best NeNe neck rolls, “ratchet” talk and hand gestures in an alleged competition to star as the flamboyant NeNe character. Check it above and below.

No cigars for Adrienne since she's pregnant with twins!

Gabby Union and Dwyane Wade shared pics of the fabness.

LaLa and Carmelo got all kissy and hugged up along with Adrienne and Chris Bosh.

Looks like they had to make a last minute store run first.  Hilar.

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker cooked and headed over to Mama Joyce's house for the Holiday.  Looking cute Kandi!

Finally, look who reunited again for another important family Holiday.  Mariah and Nick don't seem to eve let their divorce come between them spending joint time with their kiddies Moroccan and Monroe.  After MiMi rode in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Queen of Christmas headed home to chill with her ex and the twins.

Gotta love it!
