John Legend and his pregnant wife Chrissy Teigen have jetted back to L.A. after celebrating John’s birthday and New Year’s in Morocco. Peep their coupledom pics and find out what NFLer Cam Newton named his newborn son inside…

It has been an amazing year for R&B crooner John Legend, who won an Oscar for his track “Glory,” and his pregnant wife Chrissy Tegien, in both of their professional and personal lives. So to celebrate all the good times in 2015, the happy couple jetted off to Morocco for a couples' getaway to ring in the new year AND to celebrate John’s birthday.

The twosome dined on some delicious Moroccan food at Le Tobsil in Marrakech to celebrate John’s 37th birthday (Dec. 28th). Then the couple made their way to a private party to ring in 2016.

After the celebration...

The soon-to-be parents hopped on the first flight home. They were spotted bumping through LAX airport in color coordinated outfits. It won't be much longer before their lives completely change once Baby Legend makes her arrival. 

In other baby news....

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton shocked everyone when he revealed he was the proud father of a baby boy. So what did he and his longtime girlfriend Shakia Proctor name their baby boy?

Chosen Sebastian Newton!

Baby Chosen came into the world weighing 9 pounds, 6 ounces and he was 20 inches long. Not too much smaller than his dad as an infant, who was 10 pounds, 9 ounces when he was born in Atlanta in 1989, according to the Charlotte Observer.

“It’s pretty cool,"  said Cam. “When you see life coming into existence, it’s a wonderful thing. These past couple of days have been so monumental for me.”

Little Chosen entered the world on Christmas Eve, but his pops didn’t announce his arrival until December 30th because he didn’t want the baby news to be a distraction for his team. How sweet.

Congrats again to the couple.

After partying with friends at a house party inside his crib for New Year’s Eve, Chris Brown kicked off 2016 rocking out on stage last night.

The R&B crooner was tapped to perform at Drai’s nightclub in Las Vegas for his first performance of the year. And he put on one hell of a show for his fans. He brought his high energy dance moves to keep the crowd entertained in between crooning his new ROYALTY tracks and a few of his classic hits. By the way, Royalty landed the No. 1 R&B/Hip Hop album according to Billboard.

Check out Breezy tearing down the stage below:

Elsewhere...

Tennis champion Serena Williams, who had an amazing 2015, has made her way Down Under. The 21-time Grand Slam winner touched down in Perth, Australia ahead of the Hopman Cup 2016 Player’s Party.

And look who tagged along….

Her coach Patrick Mouratoglou was right by her side. You’ll recall, Serena was rumored to be dating him at one point, but then pictures of her hanging out with Drake popped up. Serena and Drizzy's little rendezvous lasted for a few weeks and then she was rumored to be dating Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

We’re sure it’s all business between Rena and Patrcik since she's gearing up to play in the Hopman Cup that kicks off tomorrow (January 3rd).

We can't wait to see how many trophies Serena will rack up this year.

After a wardrobe change...

This is how Serena lit up the blue carpet before getting to the festivities. Work!

Jennifer Lopez is kicking off 2016 with a hot new cover. The 46-year-old stunna is gracing the cover of InStyle magazine’s February 2016 issue looking her usual gorgeous self in an Acne Studios sweater and Calvin Klein skirt. She’s so hot.

Inside, the super busy mom-of-two chops it up about what life is like juggling her many hats. She has some big ticket projects coming down the pipeline, including the premiere of her new crime drama series “Shades of Blue” (Jan. 7th), judging a new season of “American Idol” and gearing up for her Las Vegas residency. Yes, chick is booked.

With everything JLo has going on, she said her twins Max and Emme are her main focus and she claims she still currently single. Lately, she’s been spotted with her ex-Casper Smart on plenty of occasions, but she said right now, she’s working on being happy by herself first. She spilled, “I need to be happy on my own. If someone fits into that, great. But if they don’t, that’s OK too.” Well good for her.

The “Booty” singer also talked about the hell she went through during her epic AMA hosting gig. Chick changed a total 10 times, but her body took a beating because of it. She said, “I had scratched and bruises everywhere from trying on so much stuff.”

If you missed her incredible ensembles at the AMAs, you can check them outHERE.

JLo’s issue hits newsstands January 8th.

On an island.....

Keke Palmer is being her “sexually fluid” self lip locking with chicks onstage for BET’s “106 & Party” show. Peep her extra kissy performance along with performances by Dej Loaf, Lil Durk, Fabolous and more inside….

YBF actress Keke Palmer had everyone raising their eyebrows after a pic popped up online of her kissing Diddy’s girlfriend Cassie a few months ago. We later learned it was part of her marking campaign for her new video “I Don’t Belong To You.”

Now, she’s lip locking with another chick. No, she’s not gay, straight or bi. She doesn't like labels. In a recent interview with PEOPLE she said makes her own rules and doesn’t “have to be stuck to one label.” Hmph.

The “Scream Queens” star hit the stage to perform her new single for BET's annual New Year's Eve special, "106 & PARTY" that went down at NYC's hotspot Stage 48. And now, everyone is talking about THIS kiss. Check it below:

Well alright.

The “Grease Live!” star was also tapped to host the show alongside “Power” star Rotimi, who also stars as Keke’s love interest in her “I Don’t Belong To You” video.

Rotimi cleaned up nicely. Hey boo.

Meanwhile...

Keke copped some new ink yesterday tattooing her real name on her wrist. Cute. After getting her new ink, she linked up with Diddy's son Quincy Brown and they had some fun ice skating till 2am. Sounds fun.

Back on the stage, Keke wasn't the only one getting kissy....

New coupleDej Loaf and Lil Durk put their love on display as they performed their joint track "My Beyonce."

Fabolous and French Montana rocked the stage with a performance of their track "Ball Drop."

And "Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham worked the crowd as a correspondent for the show. Fun times.

Here we go again.  In Vegas, a woman is throwing around accusations that Chris Brown punched her in the face Saturday in Vegas.  Details inside...

[UPDATE]: Chris just posted on his social media about tightening up his circle:

 

Keeping my circle small in 2016! I'm done taking the care of grown ass men. And I'm going to be hella rich after all the lawsuits I file from these crazy individuals who keep lying on my name. Happy NEW YEAR! Time for some of us to grow the fuck up!

A photo posted by @chrisbrownofficial on Jan 2, 2016 at 9:02pm PST

Oh.

Maybe it's time for Breezy to rethink his stay in Vegas.  Whether he's guilty of the accusations thrown at him or not.

Just eight months after the singer was accused of punching a man in the face on the basketball court of his Vegas hotel suite, he's being accused in another Vegas punching incident.

Now, a woman named Lizane Gutierrez (who is allegedly a Brazilian model) tells TMZ that she was in Chris' suite at the Palms hotel early Saturday morning at an afterparty.  She got her phone passed his security and whipped it to take a photo of Chris, and that's when he allegedly snapped.  The site reports:

The alleged victim tells us she was at a private party in Brown's suite at the Palms Hotel in Vegas early Saturday morning. She says she was able to get her cellphone into the suite without his security noticing and when she took a pic of the singer, he went off, yelling at her and punching her once in her right eye.

The alleged victim, whose name is Liziane Gutierrez (we're only identifying at her request) says she left the party and called the cops a few hours later but was not taken to the hospital. 

There's pics of her alleged injury HERE.

As quickly as the accusations surfaced, Chris Brown's team has already issued a flat out denial.  Vegas police are currently investigating.

Chris is currently in Vegas to perform at DRAIS nightclub (pictured above on Friday night).

New Year's weekend 2016 was one for the books it seems. We've got the 6 surprising things we learned about celebs celebrating the Holiday inside...

1.  We like Don Lemon best when he's LIT.

While broadcasting from Tipitina's club in New Orleans for CNN's NYE special, Don Lemon apparently had one too many.  Not sure why he thought it was a good idea to drink period while doing live TV, but we're going to go ahead and thank him for the entertainment.

This guy was clearly tipsy while on air.  He asked party goers why they were crazy enough to get married, he told a random story about partying at the same club back in college and going home with no clothes on, he was all in the camera sipping his drink and eating cherries on the air, and he even told co-host Kathy Griffin (who was broadcasting from NYC) she had a nice rack!

Catch the foolery above.

2. Everybody decided to get engaged.

OK, not everybody. But a few couples we had no idea were as serious as they apparently are. From Keshia Knight Pulliam and Ed Hartwell(we're still scratching our heads) to Letoya Luckett & Rob Hill Sr., folks seemed to let the romantic side of the Holiday season take over.

3. Even celebs love a good reunion around the Holidays.

From Taye Diggs and the "Private Practice" stars to Keyshia Cole& estranged husband Boobie Gibson spending NYE together to KeKe Palmer spending the weekend in Miami partying plenty of times with her ex boo turned good friend Quincy Brown, we love when people take action to keep those important to them close. 

Even a girls' trip just to spend good QT time with your loved ones like Tasha Smith, Angela Bassett, Nikki Chu and Tisha Campbell Martin. Or a VIP situation with the fellas you fell out with (i.e. the YMCMB crew).

4.  Tyson Beckford gives zero f***s about Chris Brown's temper tantrums.

When Karrueche Tran's ex Chris Brown went on a threatening, gang-involved tirade against supermodel Tyson Beckford in 2015 after Tyson and Kae exchanged niceties publicly, Tyson showed him he IS, in fact, about that life.  And he's still showing him by posing it up in pics -- again -- with Kae while they rang in the new year with others in Jamaica.  We would say "Yeah, Chris has totally moved on so this should be no surprise," but we all now Chris can pull some random ish at random times.  Tyson remains unbothered though.

5. Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union may have been the most laid back celeb couple on NYE.

Known for getting dressed to the 9's every other night of the week to go out in Miami or for their latest dinner party or for whatever fun night they're up to, the Wades flipped the script and had a come-as-you-are NYE party and had the Boshes, the Stoudamires and more over.  Naturally, Gabby was in Miami Heat and University of Nebraska pajamas.

6.  Celebs suddenly got the guts to put their new relationships on front street.

Jason Derulo didn't erase his posts this time.  He proudly popped up on social media with new girlfriend (and 50 Cent's ex) Daphne Joy as they rang in the new year in Miami.  The two were BAE'd up all week and wanted the world to know.  meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa was spotted holding hands while leaving the club with a new woman who may (or may not) be his stylist.

We've got plenty of celeb NYE pics in the gallery below!  Check out the hotness that is Meagan Good and husband Devon Franklin ringing in the new year in Mexico and plenty more of our faves...

Diddy was a busy man on New Year's Eve.  He rocked the Pitbull's New Year's Reolution special in Miami, then skipped over to his own mansion party with tons of celebs.  Get the pics inside....

What's New Year's without plenty of drinks and friends and fam who are extra lit?

This year Diddy pulled double party duty and set Miami on fire.  But it was the party at his private mansion on Star Island that went until the about 6am the next morning!

He made sure his fam Justin Combs, Quincy and Christian were laced properly and had their friends along for the big party.

Of course, he did the most from his roof.

Dapper.

Diddy's girls -- the twins and Chance -- looked super cute for the festive night.

Taraji P. Henson rolled in looking fab.

KeKe Palmer rocked a sexy revealing dress as she partied with her long time friend Quincy Brown.

Laverne Cox made her way to the party.

Amber zRose sparkled in a black and silver zebra print look.

Christina Milian wasn't with her bestie Karrueche -- who was in Jamaica -- so she rolled solo to Diddy's spot.

Diddy's fave DJ hit the scene and posed it up with Mase.

Jermaine Dupri and Rick Ross were ready for the big night.

DJ D Nice and Fabolous and JD all snapped a few pics.

French Montana actually cleans up well.  Who would have thought?

And look -- Kim Porter was front and center while Cassie remained MIA.  And yes, Cassie is back in the states.  Something tells us she's not loving how much Diddy played around while was busy working on South Africa.  And we're wondering if a break up ensued.

Time will tell...

Such a daddy’s girl! President Barack Obama and his eldest daughter Malia Obama brought the daddy-daughter cuteness as they strolled through a zoo in Hawaii while on their annual vacation. Peep their pics inside…

First Daughter Malia Obama may be 17-years-old and will soon be heading off to college. But, she’s never too old to walk hand-in-hand with her dad President Barack Obama.

The First Family wrapped up their family vacation in Hawaii on Saturday with a visit to the Honolulu Zoo in Waikiki to explore the exhibits and check out a few animals. POTUS brought his daughters Malia and Sasha along for the trip as well as his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng and his nieces Suhaila and Savita for a fun filled family day.

The gorgeous Obama daughter was seen holding her daddy’s hand as they trekked through the zoo yesterday afternoon. Adorbs!

The Obamas made the most of their zoo trip visiting the elephant and primate exhibits, which featured Ringtail Lemurs and Howler Monkeys. Sounds interesting.

And there's Sasha in the mix holding a little kid's hand.

Looks like the father-daughter duo really enjoyed themselves.

Before the First Family made their way to the zoo, POTUS took his daughters, sister and nieces to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific to visist his maternal grandfather Stanley Dunham, who has been laid to rest there. And before they visited the cemeterey, they had some fun in the sun at the beach at Bellows Air Force Station in Waimanolo. Fun times.

Lark Voorhies is back to going IN on social media….then backtracking claiming her Instagram account was hacked. Find out how she slammed Bill Cosby AND her ex-Martin Lawrence inside….

Former “Saved By The Bell” star Lark Voorhies is stirring the pot on social media….again. A few months ago she was blasting her estranged husband Jimmy Green about his “corn chip penis.” Now, she has moved on to slamming Bill Cosby and her former fiancé Martin Lawrence on Instagram!

Following Bill Cosby’s arrest on three counts of aggravated indecent assault last week, Lark shared her reaction to the news slamming the comedian for his alleged acts. She urged her social media followers to separate the fictional character Dr. Huxtable from the real Bill Cosby. She then went on a rant calling Mr. Cosby a MONSTER and that anyone defending him is defending the devil himself! Sheesh. Check it below:

Oh...and she wasn't done there. She had another fish to fry. Chick then started going in on her former fiance Martin Lawrence alluding that he use to abuse her mentally and physically. (SIDENOTE: Lark and Martin didn't end their relationship on good terms. She found out that he no longer wanted to be with her after going on a talk show claiming he was engaged to another woman.) Here's what she posted:

And then she captioned (which she has since deleted):

Lordt!

It didn't take long though before she started backpedaling on her statements claiming her account was HACKED. Hmph. She said she loves Bill Cosby and that she would never speak bad about him.

Here's her statement:

It's interesting to note, she has not deleted the posts (just that caption we mentioned earlier). By the way, the last time she popped off on social media she claimed her account was hacked. It's certainly seems to be a trend here.

Earlier, he was spotted partying on a yacht with some friends. Afterwards, the actor/rapper was in search of some fun, so he hopped on a jet ski and made his rounds:

The "Empire" star rung in 2016 performing alongside Timbaland for Pitbull's New Year's Revolution at Bayfront Park in Miami. The duo was introduced by their co-star Taraji P. Henson and then rocked out to the series' song "Bout 2 Blow."

Back on shore, he bumped into Scottish singer Tallia Storm and stopped for a pic.

Jaden Smith just copped a new fashion campaign for Louis Vuitton. Check out the sneak peek and peep flicks of Rihanna heading out for dinner in NYC inside….

17-year-old Jaden Smith just landed a major fashion campaign. The young actor/artist is the newest face of Louis Vuitton’s SS16 ad campaign. Looks like he took a few pointers from his sister Willow Smith who landed a campaign with Marc Jacobs last summer.

Louis Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière hopped on Instagram to make the announcement that “The Get Down” star would lead the French fashion house’s new campaign, shot by Bruce Weber.

Cute.

So, when is ANTI going to drop? We're not sure. But, the RIHNavy believes she may possibly drop it on January 4th. Why? Well that's World Braille Day and if you look closely at the crown on the ANTI cover, it's covered in braille. We shall see...

Ray Lewis lets us in on his fatherless childhood and how he got his name from a man who inspired him. Get a glimpse at what life was like for the former NFLer thanks to "The Steve Harvey Show" and check out cutie Kiyan Anthony starring in a new commercial for Jordan with his pops Carmelo Anthony inside…

In a new commercial...

Like father, like son!

New York Knicks baller Carmelo Anthony stars in a new commercial to promote his newest sneaker, the Melo M12. And it stars none other than his son Kiyan Anthony who makes a cameo in the clip.

In the clip, his father showed off his b-ball skills on a court by himself. It appears Carmelo gets worn out, then Kiyan shows up that gives him that added boost to keep going. While Kiyan didn’t show off his basketball skills, we know he can ball just like his dad, playing for the Gauchos hoops program in New York. Peep the new father-son commercial above.

Yesterday...

Kiyan and his mommy LaLa Anthony hit up Madison Square Garden to cheer on Carmelo and the Knicks as they went head-to-head against the Atlanta Hawks. The Anthonys celebrated a win after the Knicks defeated the Hawks with a score of 111-97.

They say tough times never last, but tough people do. That certainly rings true for former NFL star turned ESPN announcer Ray Lewis. He's on the promo trail to promote his new book brand new book titled “I Feel Like Going On: Life, Game and Glory.” where he he chronicles his tough past growing up without a father.

The NFL veteran stopped by the “Steve Harvey Show” to chop it up about his new book where he opens up about growing up fatherless to a single mother who gave birth to him at the tender age of 15. He said growing up, he never understood why his last name was different from everyone else’s in his family and it really bothered him.

“The hardest thing for a man to ever overcome, is not having a father,” said Ray

Since his father walked out on his mom the day he was born, he said he didn’t have a name to carry.

“The day I was born in the incubator, my father walked out,” said the former NFL star. “So I didn’t have a name to go at,” Ray says. “So there was this guy who was really liking my mom and he was in the military. My mom was 15 when she had me. She was too young to pay for any doctor bills or anything like that. She called this guy and she asked this guy, ‘will you do me a favor?’ and he happily said yes. That man came to the hospital and signed as my father, and that’s why to this day, I walk around with the name Ray Lewis.”

Check it:

He then opened up about his first time meeting the man he was named after. He said he thanked him and told him he would make his name great. He certainly did that. Peep the clip below:

He also sat down and dropped some gems while giving advice to an 18-year-old high schooler, along with his mother, who dreams of making it big by playing football but is currently making bad decisions in his life:

Nice.

The former linebacker also touched on the Atlanta incident that resulted in the stabbing death of a man where he and a few of his friend were indicted on murder and aggravated-assault charges. Ray's charges were eventually dropped. He said the experience helped to make him the man and father he is today. Check it above.

And then he did an incredible impersonation of the late comedian Bernie Mac. He totally nailed it! Check it below: 

Hilar.

You can check out Ray's episode when it airs Tuesday, January 5th. Check your local listings for the time.

When custody issues get nasty...they get NASTY.  Nastier than Future's dirty Sprite he loves to drink.  Find out what the rapper just said that was anything but nice about his ex Ciara...

[UPDATE:] A source from Ciara's camp has responded.  Apparently, CiCi's people are combating the $15million future is alleging he pays, and they deny Ciara is keeping Baby Future from him.  E! News reports:

...The "I Bet" singer has never prevented Future from seeing his son and that he does not and has not paid $15,000 in child support. 

As to why the rapper would go on Twitter with such bold statements, our source claims Future is jealous that Ciara has moved on and "that Future uses the situation to promote his music by staying in the press using her name."

"Future has told her he hopes she fails in everything she does and that's just being evil," our insider shared. "He is unable to move on and co-parent in a healthy way."

 

As Ciara carries on about her life with Baby Future and her new man, Seahwaks QB Russell Wilson, she's getting dragged by her ex. 

Rapper Future is mad again.  This time, he's accusing the "Body Party" singer of withholding their child from him.

The "Diamonds Dancing" rapper opened up his Twitter app to attempt to drag his child's mother in a few tweets.  And it wasn't pretty.  He said:

$15K for child support?  While we wait for the receipts, it sounds like Future is about to drop another track soon saying:

Did Future get mad (again) seeing another man in a Daddy role to his son?  Hmph.

We hope that Future would pick up the phone next time instead of airing this ish publicly.

Serena Williams opens up about learning to accept her body in a new interview. Meanwhile, Stuart Scott’s daughters are celebrating their dad in a special tribute on the one year anniversary of his passing. Get it all inside…

Learning to accept your body can be hard if it doesn’t meets the standards society has deemed as acceptable. Even if you are Serena Williams, the No. 1 women’s tennis player.

While some would kill for Rena’s booty and toned physique, she receives a lot of hate over her muscular figure. She’s an athlete after all, so having a muscular build is typical for tennis stars, but Rena brings a few extra curves, which we love by the way.

In an interview with U.K.’s The Times magazine, the 21-time Grand Slam winner talked about learning to love her curves, despite all the haters who come for her saying her body resembles a man.

She said, "I know I get flack for my physique, and it has been a struggle to love my body, but now curves are in and I'm happier in myself.”

Yas! She also talked about the struggle of seeing other young girls in her field with smaller frames and how hard it was to play tennis with the extra bootyliciousness and her ample dose of boobs. She explained,

"When I was younger, it was hard seeing all these thin athletes when I had more muscular curves and was big-busted," she added. "Just try running with DDs that are bouncing seven inches up and down! It's distracting, not to mention dangerous, because you can tear ligaments."

#CurvyGirlStruggle, but chick slays effortlessly. And we love it.

In tennis news, the top ranked YBF tennis star jetted to Perth, Australia over the weekend to compete in the Hopman Cup, but unfortunately had to withdraw after a warm-up due to knee inflammation. She may rejoin the American team tomorrow.

In other sports related news...

On the one-year anniversary of ESPN anchor Stuart Scott’s passing, his daughters Taelor and Sydni are commemorating their father in a special way.

The legendary sportscaster passed away on January 4, 2015 after a long battle with cancer. He was 49. Now, his courageous daughters are reflecting on his legacy in a special tribute to their pops.

The girls reflect on how much their father meant to them and how much he made an impact in their lives. It’s a tearjerker. Check it below:

The strong young ladies also penned an open letter to their father praising him for a job well done while he was here on earth. Read it in full below:

Dear Dad,

Growing up we thought all Dads worked “inside the television.” This last year, we realized the full impact you’ve had on the world, and how important you were to so many. A whirlwind year of appearances and accepting awards on your behalf, Lifetime Achievement Awards, Hall of Fame Inductions, your book launch and even a visit to the White House — has given us great insight into the mark you left during your lifetime. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to meet many people whom you profoundly impacted, share our grief and our memories while giving back on your behalf and continuing the legacy you started in raising cancer awareness.

You lived your life with a fierce sense of authenticity, passion and competitiveness, giving it your all and reaching for the best in everything you did. When you were diagnosed with cancer, you showed the world how to fight with that same fierce passion, instilling a sense of hope and inspiration to so many. And in the end you taught us all how to win – live or die – by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live.

From you Dad, we’ve learned to reach for the fight we possess inside and apply it with passion to our lives. It was through your vulnerability, that you taught us the real value of strength in never giving up.

Love, Tae & Syd

(Your heartbeats)

May he rest in peace.

Tyga is up to his cradle robbing antics again...allegedly.  Find out what a 14-year-old model who has been linked to the rapper is saying today inside...

Chile....that OK Magazine story that surfaced recently saying Tyga and an underaged model were "hooking up" is causing waves today.  The young girl in question, Molly O'Malia, said she felt she was "forced" to come out and identify herself, even though OK! pixelated her picture.

Today, she did a press conference with legal eagle Gloria Allred to clear up some things.  Interestingly, one thing that WON'T be happening is a lawsuit, according to Gloria.  So why is Gloria involved and why is an entire press conference needed when a simple statement would have sufficed?  Well, Ms. Molly is also an aspiring singer.

Her story is that Ok! Magazine was incorrect in saying that she and Tyga hooked up.  She claims they haven't.  She also says the magazine is wrong about her pursuing him.  She claims it was actually the other way around.

Molly says Tyga reached out to her first on Instagram (of course).  She thought it was to discuss her music...so she responded and the two struck up a conversation.  Even though Tyga never mentioned her music in their initial convo, they continued to speak she says.

Molly claims Tyga relentlessly pursued her.  But she got freaked out when he asked to Facetime and stopped responding.

Molly doesn't deny the text messages that surfaced between them or his girlfriend's Kylie Jenner's alleged texts that surfaced in response to the situation.  She says she's upset that the magazine actually published her messages without her or her mother's consent, and she's unaware of how OK! received her, Kylie and Tyga's messages.  Hmph.

Check out the press conference today below.  Molly has set all her social networks to private (except her Snapchat) and Kylie, who was still with Tyga as of New Year's when they went skiing together, has made no mention of these new developments.

Tyga accused pursuing underaged girls again? Hmph.....

NBA baller DeAndre Jordan and singer Meghan Trainor were spotted leaving a L.A. nightclub…together. Hmmm…are they dating? Decide for yourself inside.

Also, check out A$AP Rocky on the cover of Forbes magazine’s new 30 Under 30 issue.

It appears Los Angels Clippers player DeAndre Jordan may be dating a new chick. And she just so happens to be singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor.

No, we didn’t see them tonguing each other down in the club or anything. But, photogs did catch the twosome leaving The Nice Guy in West Hollywood late Saturday night…together! They both made a swift exit from the venue and hopped in the same car before driving off. Check it:

So what happened to the model chick Amber Alvarez the NBA baller was allegedly dating over the summer? We’re not sure. They could possibly still be an item…or not. We do know, IF Amber is still with DeAndre, he may have some explaining to do.

In other news...

Well this is a surprise.

Rapper A$AP Rocky nabbed a spot on Forbes magazine’s 30 Under 30 issue for his love of fashion and being a trendsetter in the fashion industry. The publication dubbed the Harlem native as a fashion mogul, securing a spot for him on the 30 Under 30 Fashion list.

While we knew he was a fashion lover, modeling for DKNY and flexing his dance moves with ex-fiancée Chanel Iman in VOGUE magazine, we didn’t quite see him as a fashion mogul, per se. But, Forbes gave the young rapper the label, so that’s saying something.

In the cover story, the young rap star chops it up about where his love for fashion came about, his plans for AWGE–the creative collective that’s been his main focus of late–and comparisons between it and Kanye West’s DONDA.

Below are the highlights:

ZOG: There’s something to Harlem that style is a really important thing in a way that it isn’t in other parts. People who aren’t from New York don’t get it. They don’t understand why Harlem is different from Brooklyn. Harlem and Brooklyn couldn’t be more different.

Rocky: When it comes to fashion and stuff, we’re just nostalgic. Harlem, from the Renaissance, from music, everything cultural, I think it’s impactful to an urban community on another level. … We had our own fashion sense. You’ve got music, you’ve got culture, you’ve got food. What I think is incredible about Harlem is that no matter who you are coming out of Harlem you just feel like somebody.

ZOG: You come from Harlem, you burst on the scene a couple years ago. You’re the fashion guy. Tell me the concrete steps from being the fashion guy to creating AWGE … the Rocky DONDA?

Rocky: I wouldn’t call it DONDA.

ZOG: What would you call it?

Rocky: I would compare it to companies such as Vice, Noisey, Fool’s Gold, Roc Nation.

ZOG: More expansive than DONDA.

Rocky: I wouldn’t say that, not at all. I’m going to say this: for me, DONDA didn’t accomplish enough yet for me to compare … I wanted to develop something that reflected the world the way I saw it. I wanted to make something for lifestyle, to put people into a new lifestyle. I wanted to make some for culture, some for music, some for skating … How do you organize all that? About a year and a half, two years ago, I just came up with an idea of just being involved in something more than A$AP Rocky … I want to be in the field and be respected as a creator of original ideas.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith put on their Sunday best yesterday to hit up the Hollywood brunch event scene.  And they were the looking like the Pastor and First Lady of fabulousness.  Check out pics inside, plus Garcelle Beauvais and her sons who are growing up so cute....

At yesterday's Creative Impact Awards and 10 Directors to Watch Brunch during The 27th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival in Palm Springs, the Smiths were definitely dressed for the occasion. 

Jada's off-white dress and matching jacket and matching pumps were perfection, while Will's light grey suit also worked perfect for the occasion.

Will posed with his director Peter Landesman and the real life Dr. Bennet Omalu at a screening of Concussion that also went down at the Film Fest yesterday:

Looks like Will is ready for the Oscar run.

Work!  Also, if you're wondering if Will Smith will be doing a surprise return in Independence Day 2, that's a negative.  He revealed to media that he was actually shooting Suicide Squad during time of filming.  He told E!:

"The trailer looks really cool. I'm going to be sitting around with tears in my eyes when that one comes out…It was terrible when I found out my character died."

Aww.

Over in L.A.:

We love cute family Sundays!  Garcelle Beauvais and her sons Jax and Jaid Nilon were spotted buying some fruits at the Farmers Market in Studio City.  Those boys are growing up so fast!

Cute look Garcelle!
