Here's Teyana's tear-jerker of a story that ends with dad in tears and the umbilical cord being cinched with a pair of headphones:

On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world. She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone! Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head...it took two ten count pushes with my fiancé playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands! Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made there grand entrance 5 min later. She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is. She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete. Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl

Azealia Banks Arrested For Allegedly SPITTING, BITING Female Security Guard’s BOOB + Russell Wilson’s Butt Gets FULLY EXPOSED

Azealia Banks is in hot water…again! Allegedly. Get the deets on the Harlem raptress going bananas at a NYC club resulting in her arrest and check out Russell Wilson’s naked rotund gluteus maximus inside (and we're NOT censoring it so it's NSFW)....

Around midnight on Wednesday, the Harlem rap star headed to Manhattan hotspot Up & Down for some fun. But, fun was NOT on the agenda. Once the 24-year-old rapper got inside the venue, she tried to crash an invite-only party that was going on downstairs for the club’s owner Ronnie Madra. Apparently, you needed a stamp to get in the party and Azealia didn’t have one. That’s when ish went TOTALLY left.

Sources tell PageSix, Azealia started cursing and screaming (at one point hurling racial slurs) to the top of her lungs at a female and male security guard to get in. One person said Azealia was yelling about beng on Rihanna’s new album, as if to solidify her celeb status. The source said, “Once she was 15 feet inside, she starts to curse the guards again, explaining who she was, that she’s on Rihanna’s album.”

Oh?

Security then approached the “Yung Rapunxel” rapper and that’s when she allegedly SPIT in the female bouncer’s face! Bish whet?!

Chick was promptly escorted out the venue, but as they were removing her, this chick supposedly BIT the bouncer’s breast almost tearing her shirt!  Once outside, she yelled she was going to call the cops. A NYPD Traffic Enforcement cop was called over and a strange turn of events ensued.

Azealia allegedly decides to PUNCH the female bouncer in FRONT of the police officer. Of course, they arrested her and as they were putting the cuffs on her she was allegedly screaming “Why are you arresting me?”

She was then taken to the Sixth Precint on misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault and was held there for evaluation before being arraigned and released.

Peep pics of the cops arresting her HERE.

The NY District Attorney and police sources say the bouncer’s boob got really swollen and red, but she refused medical attention. May not be one of her smartest moves.

It's obvious 2015 hasn’t been a good year for the Broke With Expensive Taste rapper. Back in September, she was caught on camera in a verbal altercation (where she hurled homophobic slurs) on a Delta flight. Then in October, she was involved in an alleged assault on a security guard at Break Room 86 in L.A. Sighs...

Chick needs to get her life…before she ends up behind bars for a long time.

 

In lighter news....

Oh? Heeeey Russell Wilson!

"Seahawks All Access" says they can take you where no other Seahawks show can take you. And they weren’t lying.

During a recent interview with defensive end Cliff Avril in the Seahawks’ locker room, the cameraman caught a glimpse of quarterback Russell Wilson in the nude. We’re not exactly sure why reporters have to interview the players in the locker room, but in this case we’re not mad…Ciara might be though. Ha!

We see you Russ!

LeToya Luckett and her new boyfriend Rob Hill Sr. are taking their love even mjore public....on the set of a new comedy series. In other movie news, NFLer DeSean Jackson is executive producing a new film about Tupac’s life helmed by director Benny Boom. More inside….

 photo hwga1.png

New couple LeToya Luckett and Rob Hill Sr. are mixing work and their personal lives while starring in a new TVOne comedy series.

The lovebirds, who have been dating for about three months now, are both currently filming “Here We Go Again,” a multi-generational series about three generations of women whose lives take one hell of a rollercoaster ride.

 photo hwga3.png

According to IndieWire, LeToya will play a single mother of one daughter named Maddy Walker.  Former “The Game” star Wendy Raquel Robinson will star as her mother, Loretta. Cute. LeToya’s character is convinced there is a "Walker Women's Curse," after being born to her mother at age 16. She too, had her daughter at the same age. Yikes.

The rest of the synopsis reads:

Maddy refuses to let her daughter, Shante now approaching her dreaded 16th birthday, become the next in line. Though on a professional high and having fun dating Cedric (Travis Winfrey), the night of Shante's sweet 16 birthday, old feelings resurface for her high school sweetheart Victor (Andra Fuller) - Shante's dad - and in a moment of weakness, they have one more steamy night. Maddy becomes shocked when at the age of 32, she discovers she is pregnant by Victor - again. As they navigate the trials and triumphs encountered along the way, they discover that starting over just might be where the fun actually begins.

Lordt!

Monique Coleman is also in the film.

 photo hwga2.png

No word on Rob’s official role, but we do know he’s playing a lawyer, Attorney Runkle. Hmm...will he be the "baby's daddy?"

“Here We Go Again” was first slated to be released this month, but has been pushed to premiere in February 2016. Will you be tuning in?

 

Looks like a new Tupac film has been given the greenlight....

 photo tup2.png

A new Tupac film is in the works thanks to Washington Redskins baller DeSean Jackson who’s set to produce and famed director Benny Boom will helm the new project. LT Hutton is also named as a producer.

DJack posted up a collage of pics from the set, which kicked off filming today at Centennial Olympic Park. Based on the bottom left pic, it looks like “Vampire Diaries” starlet Kat Graham may possibly play Jada Pinkett-Smith and the guy behind her will play Tupac/  His name is Damario Brown. Here’s a pic from his Instagram below:

 photo Screen Shot 2015-12-17 at 5.24.55 PM.png

Think he can pull off 'Pac?

It appears playing the slain iconic rapper has been a longtime dream of the Inglewood native as we spotted a few videos on YouTube of his multiple “audition tapes” to play the star. Below is a more recent clip:

Did he nail it?

We searched around and found just a few other flicks from the set. No other details are readily available, but we’ll keep you posted on the progress.

We did notice some comments floating on social media that said Pac's mother is not involved with the project. So, take that how you would like.

Are you here for a Tupac flick?

MOM AGAIN: Kelis Reportedly Gave Birth To Son #2…Last Month!

Congratulations are in order for Kelis! She reportedly popped out baby #2…a month ago. More inside….

Recording artist-turned-sous chef Kelis shocked us all when she popped up at AfroPunk in Brooklyn GOOD and pregnant in August. And now, new reports suggest the “Milkshake” singer is a mom again.

According to E!, the 36-year-old singer gave birth to baby boy #2 in November making her son with Nas, 5-year-old Knight, a big brother! The source didn’t reveal many details other than the baby is healthy and that she’s thrilled.

We believe the father is her boyfriend, the mystery man we spotted her with last year who goes by the name Michael Mora. Like we told you before, he calls her his wife on his Instagram page and he also appeared in a cooking special of hers on Cooking Channel, so we assume that’s her current beau.

Right before she gave birth, she was heavy on the promo trail promoting her new cookbook My Life On A Plate. Below is the last picture she posted of herself at her baby shower:

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Inside Remy Ma & Papoose's VH1 Wedding -- Celeb Friends, A FIGHT & More!

VH1 producers don't want you to know, but we're spilling the tea anyway.  Remy Ma and Papoose had their formal wedding last night that Remy's been saying she wants.  We've got everything that went down inside, including a huge fight between Peter Gunz and wife Amina...

"Love & Hip Hop New York" stars Remy Ma and Papoose are married...again.  The couple originally got married inside of a courtroom in 2008. Remy and Pap told the story on the season 6 premiere this week and it involved a courtroom and a phone right at the beginning of Remy's prison sentence.

Now that she's free over 6 years later, Remy revealed she wants a REAL wedding.

Her wish was granted as Remy and Papoose had an official "All Black Affair" wedding last night in Connecticut.  Of course, the VH1 cameras were rolling (since they likely footed the bill).

 photo Screen Shot 2015-12-18 at 11.11.11 AM_zpskwve24bs.png

Rem looked pretty in a white cinderella gown as her Terror Squad homie Fat Joe was there by her side.

We've got exclusive details on who else was there and the fight that went down.

Remy's good fried Keyshia Cole was also there looking damn good in a Roger Rodney gown.  Keyshia, who served as maid of honor, offered best wishes to her friend on social media while holding a bouquet of flowers.

Also in attendance: Fat Joe, Ice T & Coco, Mona Scott Young, and Peter Gunz and Amina.

Remy and Pap's co-stars Peter and Amina cut ALL THE WAY up, we're told. As you know, from the premiere episode we saw that Peter "ended up" in bed with his "ex" and babies' mother Tara.  We then learned Tara moved into the same building as Peter and his new wife Amina.  Why Lordt?!

 photo Screen Shot 2015-12-18 at 10.52.09 AM_zpsjnf0msvp.png

Peter (pictured above with co-star Rich Dollaz at the wedding) and Amina just had a new baby together last year.  We've also heard from unconfirmed sources that Tara is now pregnant as well.

That may explain why Peter and Amina got into a huge fight at last night's wedding!

Our source tells us Amina yelled at Peter and said, "Why am I on birth control and why wasn't she?!"

Yes, she was referring to Tara.  Bloop!

After the screaming match, Amina stormed off in a SUV!

Our source tells us,"Rem and Pap got that unheard of black love going on and that's a blessing.  But everybody else's sh*t is in shambles!"

Chile....

We'll see it all play out when this wedding airs on this season of "LAHHNY".

Tyrese & Ginuwine GO AT It On Social Media After TGT Split! + Queen Latifah & Nicci Gilbert Team Up For New Reality Series

Tyrese and Ginuwine are at odds after the dismantling of their super group TGT. And they’re airing their dirty laundry on social media. Get the tea on their situation, plus deets on a new reality series backed by Queen Latifah and Nicci Gilbert inside….

Well, it appears R&B super group TGT is dunzo! And now, two of the fellas are bickering on social media. Of course.

Yesterday, Ty hopped on his Instagram page to announce TGT is no longer a group and it's all Ginuwine’s fault! He said he and Tank are still "moving," but G is out! Yep, Ty straight threw the “Pony” singer under the bus. Here’s what he said (and deleted):

 photo tgt1.png

Sighs...why did he need to post this in the first place?  We're not doing phone calls anymore?

Well, Ginuwine caught wind of his post and decided to respond:

 photo tgt2.png

We have to agree with Ginuwine on this one. Ty definitely didn’t need to air out their business like that on social media. Even if the “So Anxious” star was effin’ up the coins, they could have just found a new guy (or not) and kept it moving.

By the way, a few weeks ago Tyrese and Tank had a mini falling out as well. The Fast & Furious star issued a R&B challenge to the R&B singers in the industry to produce a full album without any Hip Hop features. Oh…and he was standing in front of his Billboard Top 200 album plaque. Hmph.

Tank felt Ty was bragging, so he called him out on it via Instagram. Tank later erased his rant and apologized to Ty. Is Tyrese might be the common denominator of all the drama brewing in their group?

In reality TV news...

 photo queenick.jpg

A new reality show is in the works and will be coming to a television screen near you very soon.

Queen Latifah and “R&B Divas” creator Nicci Gilbert have joined forces for a new reality series titled, “From The Bottom Up.” And it’s set to premiere January 16, 2016 at 10pm ET on Centric.

The new show will center around five women who were very successful in the past and lost everything due to substantial circumstances, ranging from controversy to jail time. Sounds interesting.

A synopsis about the show reveals:

Gilbert’s show will follow the lives of Christina Beatty, Kimberly Smedley, Stacii Jae Johnson, Chrystale Wilson, and Sara Stokes. Beatty was at the center of the scandals with Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and served jail time and probation for her crimes. Smedley was jailed for administering botched silicone buttocks injections. Johnson, an ex-event coordinator to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, was arrested in 2012 on DUI charges. Wilson, also known as Ronnie from The Players Club, has struggled to excel in her career beyond the 1998 film. Stokes, singer from Sean “P Diddy” Combs’“Making The Band 2," was arrested and charged with domestic violence in July 2014.

We've been wondering what Sara was up to!

Nicci hopes the new show will empower women to stay strong and keep pushing no matter what life throws at you. She wants to show how these women have been humbled and how their decisions have impacted their lives, how they have learned from their mistakes and how they have rediscovered hope.

Check out the trailer below:

If the foolywang material is kept to a minimum, this could be the makings of a good show. We’ll be tuning in. Will you?

Tamar Braxton’s sisters Toni Braxton, Towanda Braxton, Traci Braxton and Trina Braxton, along with their brother Michael Braxton, join her on “The Real” today where the ladies will see their characters in Toni’s upcoming biopic Unbreak My Heart for the first time. And y’all know Tay Tay had SOMETHING to say about the chick playing her in the film. Check out her reaction and peep the first trailer for the film inside…

 

Christmas is all about spending time with family, so "The Real" co-host Tamar Braxton brought her famous family on the show to help celebrate the holidays.

Following Tamar’s triumphant return to “The Real” yesterday, her famous sisters Toni, Towanda, Traci and Trina, along with brother Michael, came on the show to chop it up about Toni’s new biopic, their favorite Christmas traditions and the ladies even hit the stage together to perform a few Christmas carols from their new Christmas album.

 photo brx2.jpg

As they sisters chatted with the daytime talk show hosts, it was revealed none of the sisters have seen who will be playing them in Toni’s upcoming LIFETIME biopic. So, here's the shot they put up on the big screen:

 photo brx4.jpg

If you know Tamar then you KNOW she would have her two cents about who’s playing her.

Once the picture was shown, Tamera Mowry Housley pointed out the young lady with blonde hair on the left was Tamar.  Tamar yelled out, “That’s a lie!” Then she threw shade saying,“Who is that family? That’s the Raxtons!” Bloop!

Toni defended the choice saying the young lady, whose name is Tiffany Hines, acts JUST like Tamar and then she started mimicking her little sister’s neck rolls and head turns. Check it:

Following their chat....

The famous sisters hit the stage to perform two tracks from their new Christmas album "Mary, Did You Know?" and "Under My Christmas Tree." And they nailed it.

Meek Mill Faces Jail Time After Judge Rules He VIOLATED Probation + Chris Brown DEFENDS Meek In Twitter Rant + "Little More (Royalty)" Video

Meek Mill went before a judge again yesterday pleading for leniency, but the judge is fed up and ruled he violated his probation. Soon after the news broke, Chris Brown hopped on social media to defend him. Get the deets from the courtroom, find out what Breezy said and check out his new video for “Little More (Royalty)” inside…

Meek Mill had his day in court yesterday with his girlfriend Nicki Minaj by his side, but the ruling will definitely put a damper on his holiday plans.

Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley ruled the Philly rapper violated his probation terms from a 2007 arrest. So, he has to stay within a 5 county radius in Philadelphia until his sentencing February 2016. The judge said Meek failed to check-in to report his traveling plans and he also turned in a urine sample that turned out to be water! Tsk Tsk.

And get this, this is his FOURTH violation.

His probation terms stem from when Meek was charged and convicted of carrying a gun without a license plus a few other charges. According to reports, in 2009 he was sentenced to a year in county prison, but was released on parole five months later.

City desk reporter at WHYY Philly, Bobby Allyn, was in the courtroom yesterday and gave a play-by-play of everything that went down. He tweeted how Meek had a few people speak on his behalf as character witnesses and Nicki's reaction to the DA. Peep his tweets (read from the bottom up):

Shortly following Meek's outcome in court, his homie Chris Brown hopped on Twitter to defend him. He even seemingly compared the MMG rapper's situation to the late Freddie Gray's in Baltimore. Hmm..apples and oranges Chris.

Peep his rant below (read from the bottom up):

In music news...

 

Royalty has officially dropped! And as promised, Chris Brown dropped a new video for his single “Little More (Royalty).”

Breezy’s newest visuals tap into his life as a dad to his baby girl Royalty.

The clip starts off replaying his real-life past seemingly played out in his videos “Liquor,” “Back to Sleep” and “Wrist.” Cutie Royalty makes her video cameo with her pops as they spend a daddy-daughter day together. It's adorable. Peep the cuteness above.

Make sure you cop Breezy’s new album. It’s in stores and online today.

The 51-year-old star, who has been guest starring on “Empire,” hit the sidewalk catwalk in a black velour skirt and jacket showing a little cleavage, fishnet stockings and black knee high-boots. She finished her look with a cropped golden blonde bob.

Monica grabbed her phone and hit record while she sang "Alone In Your Heart" from her new album.  Shannon decided to chime in with an attempt to harmonize.  Hilar!

TheYBF.com's correspondent James Turner was on the scene and caught the woman of the hour talking about finding her new purpose after 20 years in the business.  And that is bringing real R&B back to the forefront:

Also, Monica rolled to "The Wendy Show" this week and revealed she and Shannon want to have more kids!  Looks like their daughter Laiyah and Monica's two sons could have a baby sibling soon.

Nicki Minaj Jets To Angola Concert After Human Rights Foundation Asked Her To Cancel + Gilbert Arenas Continues Misogynistic Comments About WNBA Players

Nicki Minaj and Gilbert Arenas are stirring up all types of controversy. Find out how these two have the Internet streets talking inside…

When your all about your coin, there isn’t much that will stop you from getting it.

While her boyfriend Meek Mill is stuck in Philly, Nicki Minaj and her girls have jetted to Angola, Africa ahead of a performance.  She just posted the pic above this afternoon. But, there’s lots of controversy surrounding said performance. Apparently, the “Anaconda” raptress agreed to hit the stage for a Christmas festival sponsored by Unitel on Saturday.

The problem? The Human Rights Foundation has asked Nicki Minaj to cancel in an open letter because Unitel is a communications company controlled by the family of Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos, who the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Organization calls a dictator.

In the letter, they warn Nicki “the payment you are receiving from your Angolan sponsors is the result of government corruption and human rights violations.”

The letter continued,

During their brutal three decade authoritarian rule, the dos Santos family has exploited Angola’s diamond and oil wealth to amass an illegitimate fortune while maintaining control over all branches of the government, the military, and civil society. Dos Santos has made it his policy to harass, imprison, or kill politicians, journalists, and activists who protest his rule.

Yikes.

As of the time of this post, the concert is still going on and Nicki is still set to hit the stage. If anything changes, we’ll keep you posted.

In other Nicki news….

 photo nmd2.png

The Grammy Award nominated rapper is moving forward with her ABC Family (Freeform) scripted comedy (that she's executive producing) based on her childhood. Nicki hand selected the cast for her upcoming comedy series and announced today who will be playing her.

This adorable little girl is Ariana Neal and she has been cast as a young Nicki. The “ONLY” raptress took to her Instagram to share the news saying, "I am honored and excited to announce that I've literally hand picked the main characters of my scripted series "Nicki" ~ #ABCFamily #Freeform ~ I've been going to the auditions falling in love with some incredible people. Looking forward to unveiling this groundbreaking new show for you guys in 2016!”

 photo nmd3.png

The bootylicious rap star then gushed over little Ariana saying, “I literally cried watching her taped audition. I demanded to meet her! Sat in a room with her teaching her how to rap by doing a beat on the table & forcing her to stay on beat! Lol. Then pulled out all the attitude she had in her lil body. Haha! She's tough! And so sweet & cute. #ArianaNeal #LilNicki Welcome to the family lil lady bug!”

If Ariana looks familiar, it's because she has starred in films Get Hard and Fruitvale Station. The rest of the cast includes model Selita Ebanks as Grace, Nicki’s mom; Wesley Jonathan as Vincent, Nicki’s father; and McCarrie McCausland ("Army Wives," "The Originals") as Jaylan, Nicki’s older brother. "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg will also have a recurring role as Nicki’s neighbor, Miss Martha.

The series is set to start filming in her hometown of Queens this winter.

In petty news...

 photo get1.png

Former NBA baller Gilbert Arenas is letting his ignorance shine through. A few days ago he hopped on social media to bash the way WNBA players look with the most misogynistic comments ever.

The 33-year-old ex-NBA player posted a video two white chicks playing basketball in thongs with the caption, "NOW this is what America was hoping for when they announced the #WNBA back in 1996…not a bunch of chicks running around looking like, cast members from #orangeisthenewblack."

Laura Govan's baby daddy has since gotten rid of his old account, changed it to the one above, and reportedly made these comments later in the day:

"Dont get me wrong, they have few #cutiepies but theres a whole alotta #beanpies running around."

"If Skylar Diggins came out like this, I don’t care if she missed every layup ... imma buy season tickets and I don’t even know where the f*ck #tulsa is."

“If u think this is sexist, 9 times out of 10 u the ugly one and we didn’t pay to come see u play anyway."

Gross.

Following his statements, TMZ photogs caught up with the baller and asked if he planned on apologizing for his sexist comments. Unfortunately, he doesn’t. He said, “I’m trying to figure out what I would be sorry about. So basically, all the ugly girls are mad. All the ugly ones want an apology for being ugly.”

When asked how he would respond to his daughter if she told him she wanted to dress modestly, he responded,“See, I’m petty. As a father, I would let her dress the way she dresses. As a petty person, I would laugh at the way she dresses. Period.”

*Rolls eyes* Messy boots.

The WNBA issued a statement responding to his atrocious comments saying:

 

 

And he's still at.

 

WNBA player Candace Parker pretty much sums up our thoughts:

Tamera Mowry Housley and her precious baby girl Ariah are bringing the mother-daughter fab in a new holiday shoot. Meanwhile, Zendaya travels in space and shows off her dance moves for LOVE magazine’s Advent calendar. Check out her moves inside….

"The Real" co-host Tamera Mowry Housley is now the proud mom of two adorable kiddies, a 3-year-old son named Aden and a 5-month-old daughter named Ariah. Baby Ariah joins her daytime talk show mom on a new shoot for Mini magazine holiday issue. Mom nabs the cover solo, but inside, Ariah gets her baby model on:

Mom looks amazing as well.

For the cover story, Tamera opens up about what life is like being a mother-of-two. She talks about how she and her husband Adam Housely came up with little Ariah’s name and how little Aiden reacted when he found out he was having a baby sister. She said,

“Aiden’s first response was giving her a nickname. He saw her in this little glass basket at the hospital and he said, 'Baby sister. That’s Ry-Ry.' We thought that was the cutest nickname for her! When we brought her home that’s when the jealousy began. It was a challenging three months, but once she turned four months old, he was fine as she started to take him in. Aden would make her laugh and she recognized him. They’re cool and he loves to give her kisses now.”

Super cute. You can read her full interview here.

And here's a behind-the-scenes shot of Ariah posing for the camera:

In another magazine....

We know she can act and sing. Now she’s showing off a few dance moves.

Disney starlet Zendaya was tapped for the 19th day of December in the LOVE magazine advent calendar. The 19-year-old had loads of fun dancing it up with an alien to Michael Jackson’s 1979 hit “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” The mini clip, directed by Doug Inglish, even mimics MJ’s visuals from back in the day.

The YBF starlet kept the energy up as she danced away in a black jumpsuit with metallic discs scattered all over paired with a pair of silver booties. Looks like she had fun. Check it below:

The Oscar winner was seen making her way to Gloria Steinem's 'My Life on the Road' book party to celebrate the author’s first book in the last 20 years. But, not before she signed a few autographs for some adoring fans. 

The Broadway star has been slaying the stage as Shug Avery in the hit musical "The Color Purple" that debuted last week. And she has been receiving rave reviews. We saw the play ourselves and loved every minute of it. If you haven’t copped those tix, go head and get them.  You will not be disappointed.

Karrueche Tran has jetted from the west coast to Miami for some R&R.  With a ring on her finger.  Apparently the same one her ex gave her.  Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown almost got caught up in some drama outside of the club in L.A. last night. Get the latest on the ex-lovers inside…

 photo chk4.jpg

After hitting up red carpets, partying it up on the L.A. party scene andshopping sprees at The Grove, Karrueche said she was in need of a break. And by break we mean photo-ops to show off her new Flash ink tatts she's selling.

So, chick jetted to Miami Beach to catch some rays on the beach.

 photo chk3.jpg

As she trekked through the sand, we noticed she’s wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger. We’re not insinuating a thing, but we find it funny that she’s still wearing the rock Chris gave her on THAT finger knowing people will talk. It worked.

As for who she's been dating recently...she's been linked to soccer player Memphis Day for a few months now.

 photo chk5.jpg

After getting settled, she laid out in the sun while reading 'Live Love Lead' by Hillsong Pastor Brian Houston.  If you're wondering about her bikini, it's by Australian designer Triangl and goes for about $70.

 photo chk8.jpg

She sprayed herself down with suntan lotion while showing off her "K Ink" temporary tattoos:

All that leg action caught the guys’ on the beach attention as several men walked up to her to snag a selfie. She took pictures with several male fans who approached her. Here’s one of them:

Today, she’s back on the beach busy SnapChatting the photogs as they try to get her picture.

Over on the west coast….

Kae’s ex-boyfriend Chris Brown hit the stage at the Hollywood Palladium for a special concert to celebrate the release of his album Royalty last night. He even brought his adorable baby girl Royalty out on stage.

Following his performance, the R&B crooner was in the mood to turn up, so he hit the L.A. party scene for some fun.

 photo chk2.jpg

Upon leaving the Argyle nightclub in his red Lamborghini, Breezy’s crew almost got into a brawl as a crowd began to get rowdy outside of the club. TMZ reports someone knocked a cellphone out of the hand of one of Chris’ friends and that’s when ish started to escalate.

No, Chris wasn’t the one going off or ready to get into it with someone. He tried to keep the peace and get away as fast as he could. Peep the clip below:
