Rick Ross and Wale took over WWE Monday Night Raw last night. Peep their behind-the-scenes pics and videos with wrestling legend Ric Flair and get the latest on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new gig with Under Armour inside…

MMG rolled out the black carpet for WWE Monday Night Raw at the American Airlines Arena in Miami last night. Rick Ross and Wale were back stage chopping it up and nabbing pics and videos with some of the WWE's hottest superstar wrestlers.

Gotta love Pretty Boy Ric Flair! Here's what went down when Rozay caught up with the living legend:

 

Boss talk like only #RICKFLAIR can deliver babyyy! @wwe

Family shot! The Rock got pumped up backstage with twin cousins Jonathan and Jason Fatu (aka Jimmy & Jey Uso) before they took the ring.

Speaking of The Rock...

The actor/wrestler just inked a new deal with Under Armour and is the newest face of the athletic brand, joining celebs such as Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton and Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry.

Not only is the new-again-dad the new face of the brand, but he’ll also be releasing some of his own products through the company. It’s reported The Rock will “work hand in hand with the innovative performance brand to create a range of products across footwear, apparel and accessories as well as support Under Armour’s Connected Fitness initiatives.”

Serious coinage. Fans will get a taste of what the Rock is cooking when a few “Rock-inspired” backpack and duffel bags are released on Under Armour’s website in the coming weeks. Congrats Rock!

Work.

WE LIVE! Gabrielle Union Serves Epic Shade To Stacey Dash -- "Who's That?"

Gabrielle Union just pulled a Mariah Carey with the shade-filled "Who's That?" response about a person whose name she doesn't even want to mention. Put on your sunglasses and watch Gabby respond at the Sundance Film Festival to Stacey Dash's ludicrous BET & Black History Month comments....

Remember that vintage interview where Mariah Carey was asked about Jennifer Lopez and she answered, "I don't know who that is."  We cackle every time we think of it.

 photo GabrielleUnionBirthNationPremiereArrivals1jtYef4pRZil_zps4ngcoy9z.jpg

Now, Gabby Union is over at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City reading Stacey Dash her rights in a similar fashion. 

We all recall Stacey Dash's foolish recent remarks saying BET and Black History Month should be abolished.  She said recently on Fox News:

"We have to make up our minds; either we want to have segregation or integration. If we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards, and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.  Just like there shouldn’t be a Black History Month. We’re American, that’s it."

The actress, who previously co-starred on BET's "The Game," was promptly roasted and educated by everyone.  Including BET themselves.

Now, Gabby has clapped back.  While at the premiere for The Birth of a Nation, the Nat Turner story, the movie's co-star and BET's "Being Mary Jane" star was asked about the former "Clueless" star's take on what she sees as a double standard in race relations.

Gabby's response:

“Who’s that? Who’s Stacey Dash? Is she like related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella? I heard of a crazy lady once, but I don’t know what her name is” she said.

Ha.  Gabby continued:

“If you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own. Until there is no longer a need for that, I celebrate the ALMAs, the same way I celebrate the Country Music Awards, and the same way I celebrate the BET Awards and the Image Awards, which we’ll all be at in a couple of weeks. The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say.”

Bloop.  Enough said.

Check out Gabby's interview below with the Associated Press:

The snow isn’t slowing down this year’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Gabrielle Union, star of “Being Mary Jane,” has been making her fashionable rounds at the film festival in a few different looks.  She's starring in the upcoming Nate Parker film The Birth of a Nation.

The 43-year-old actress was spotted out and about in Park City dripping in Prada in a cute monochrome dress, black stockings and flat black shoes. She topped her look off with a black and white fur trimmed coat and a fab nude bag.

The YBF chick hit the carpet for The Birth Of A Nation premiere held at the Eccles Center Theatre. Gabby stars in the film that fellow YBF actor Nate Parker wrote, produced and directed.

Nate Parker, who portrays former slave Nat Turner that led the 1831 slave rebellion, got dapper in a black suit for the premiere. It was a BIG night for Nate. His film scored the BIGGEST deal in Sundance history.

Fox Spotlight dropped a record-breaking $17.5 million to acquire worldwide rights of the slave revolt drama. YAS!

It’s being reported other big companies such as The Weinstein Company, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony were amongst the companies all trying to get their hands on the flick, despite big studios originally passing on the film. In our last sitdown with the actor, he told us about creating a film where he would be making his directorial debut.  Not only is he directing the film, he wrote the screenplay and will star as Nat Turner. 

Tyler Perry isn't the only one who can wear 200 hats at once.

K. Michelle & Joseline Hernandez Grope Each Other At “My Life” Season Premiere + K's Heated Discussion With Ex About Her Abortion

Joseline Hernandez could hardly keep her hands off K. Michelle’s smaller sized “ass”ets during the season 2 premiere party of the R&B singer's reality show “K. Michelle: My Life.” Peep their party pics inside…

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars and friends K. Michelle and Joseline Hernandez have both nabbed their own spin-offs, both of which premiered on VH1 last night. Joseline and her hubby Stevie J are taking over L.A….and so is K on the 2nd season of her reality show “K. Michelle: My Life.”

Last night, K, in collaboration with spirit brand Jack Daniels, hosted a viewing party at M Bar in Atlanta to kick-off the new season of her show. And her close friend Joseline came out to help her celebrate.

 photo jackd10.jpg

The spirits must have been flowing because K and Joseline got extra close while out on the dance floor. The Puerto Rican princess could hardly keep her hands off of K’s newly deflated “ass”ets. We know Joseline is about that life...but is K?

Chick is looking these days.

Before getting close with Joseline on the dance floor:

 photo jackd2.jpg

 photo jackd3.jpg

The "V.S.O.P." singer rolled up to the M Bar in a fur coat to keep warm before stripping down to a hip hugging bodycon dress that accentuated her curvaceous bod.

 photo jackd1.jpg

The "Love Em All" singer has plenty to celebrate along with the new season of her reality show. She recently confirmed she will be returning for another season of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” and she’s also gearing up to release her third studio album in March.

 photo jackd6.jpg

 photo jackd8.jpg

K's "LAHH: ATL" co-star and friend turned heads when she walked up in the building. Chick rocked a colorful heavily printed bodysuit that put her curves on display.  We gotta admit, we're liking this new style of Jos'.  Yes, it's still loud.  But more polished -- relatively -- and still her.

 photo jackd7.jpg

Joseline's new spin-off show "Stevie J and Joseline Go Hollywood" also premiered last night on VH1.

In the VIP section at the party:

 photo jackd4.jpg

 photo jackd5.jpg

The "Can't Raise A Man" singer, alongside "RHOA" newbie Shamea Morton, hopped on the mic to say a few words before the show premiered.

 photo jackd9.jpg

 photo jack10.jpg

And Joseline kept real close to K during the viewing. We see you Joseline.

In the first episode, K made a shocking revelation that she underwent an abortion.  Last year, she found out she was pregnant by her ex-boyfriend Bobby. While she said she wasn't a fan of abortions, she told Bobby during a heated discussion that she felt she made the best decision in her situation because he wasn't there for her.

While chopping it up with her life coach, the R&B songstress said her relationship with Bobby was not what she thought it was after finding out he lied about some major things. One of them being, he told K he only had ONE child when he actually had FOUR children by FOUR different women. We see why that may have been a deal breaker for her.

 

In music news, K. Michelle recently dropped a new musical offering, a track titled "Not A Little Bit." Take a listen HERE.

Monica Serves Fire & Fashion For UPTOWN Magazine, Talks Being Karl Lagerfeld's Pre-Instagram Muse

Push through then Monica!  The hot mom and wife is serving fire and fashion for UPTOWN magazine's brand new cover and spread.  Get the pics, plus what she says about this fashion thing being old news to her ("I've been there, done that"), inside....

Powerhouse singer Monica rarely flosses her goodies for the masses, but when she does, she keeps it classy and pretty damn sexy.

 photo Mup1_zpskotaawjz.jpg

Yes ma'am!

The 35-year-old mother of three (plus stepmom of Shannon Brown, Jr.) flossed in sexy lace and cut-out looks for her cover and spread for UPTOWN magazine.  We're sure her NBA husband Shannon Brown loved every bit of it.

In the cover story, our original fave homegirl is opening up about having a hustler's ambition, being Karl Lagerfeld's muse pre-Instagram, why she's so guarded, and where her 'Miss Thang' moniker originated. 

Here are the highlights:

 

Monica on being guarded: "People wouldn’t really be able to imagine the things I’ve seen and been through. My talent has always been there, along with the spiritual foundation my mother laid, but there was always another side, a side that belonged to the streets. When my parents divorced, I became two different people.” 

Monica on being Karl Lagerfeld's muse: "I’ve been there and done that. I remember speaking with Karl and him telling me what ‘we’ were going to wear, and what his thoughts for me were. I’ve had moments that some [will not recognize] because social media wasn’t a thing back then. They weren’t done for the ‘Gram, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen."

Monica on her "Miss Thang" moniker: “Dallas [Austin] would bring producers in the studio to play records for me and I’d be quick to say ‘No’ if I didn’t feel it. I knew who I was and what I wanted to say. That’s where ‘Miss Thang’ came from. He’d say, ‘Miss Thang don’t like it!’ ... Please don’t get me wrong, I will get someone together, quickly. You will not come at me wrong without repercussions."

Monica on triumphing over tragedy: "As I think back over everything I’ve accomplished in my career—the awards, opportunities and exposure are all there, of course. But, what gives me unspeakable joy is the fact that I’ve touched countless women, and some young men, along the way with my music and my message. To know that I was helping to save lives while feeling like my own was in the process of ending, means more than any manufactured victory ever could."

Monica on being labeled the "underdog": "I know people have called me the underdog. I was even told the kiss of death would be the four years I took off after the birth of my boys. I’ve executed my career exactly how I’ve wanted to and that’s the most important thing. And if I am an underdog because I’ve chosen to put my family first, to be guided by my spirituality or allow true love to be my solace, then so be it."

SAVAGE! Blac Chyna & Rob Kardashian Hit The Gym Together While Rob TROLLS His Kardashian Sisters About It

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian went from the bed to the gym. Get the latest on how Chyna is helping to whip Rob into shape and the shaaaaaade he threw at his own family inside…..

Blac Chyna had everyone talking after she posted a picture of man’s heavily tatted arm wrapped around her neck on Instagram yesterday. We later learned the tats in the photo closely resemble tattoos on Rob Kardashian’s arm. Now, the twosome are dropping more hints that they’re getting better acquainted, much to the dislike of the Kardashian Klan.  Remember all the drama between Chyna and Kylie?

TMZ reported Chyna has been helping Rob get back into shape by sweating it out in gym together.

Now, we've stumbled upon this pic on Chyna’s SnapChat account ourselves:

 photo robcy5.png

In the series of clips, Chyna films herself on an elliptical trainer and you can hear a male’s voice in the background saying “C’mon man.” It sounds like it could be Rob. And another hint that it’s Rob? The man’s feet in the picture have on a pair of Kanye West’s BOOST sneakers.

Then on Instagram:

 photo robcy1.png

Rob posted up this hilarious meme of Blac Chyna holding a carseat jokingly alluding that she's pregnant with his baby with the words, "Blac Chyna probably out shopping rite now as she plan to give birth to the only next generation of the Kardashian name! #BabyKardashian" Ha!

He captioned the meme with a few four-leaf clovers, the same emoji Chyna used when she first posted the picture of Rob's arm around her neck. Hmph.

As expected, the Kardashian Klan is NOT happy about Rob's new fling. His big sister Khloe Kardashian took to her Twitter yesterday dropping subliminals (that she later came back and claimed had nothing to do with Rob). Then, Rob's younger sister Kylie Jenner, who's dating Chyna's baby daddy Tyga, joined in on the social media foolery posting (then deleting):

 photo robcy2.jpg

Mmhmm....

Oh...and then we noticed this:

 photo robcy4.png

In one of the newest photoshoot flicks on Chyna's IG account, we see the "Future" tattoo is still faintly on the side of her right hand.  Sighs to it all....

Jay-Z SLAPPED With A $18 Million Lawsuit After Refusing To Promote ‘Gold’ Cologne + Rihanna’s Dolce & Gabbana $9K Headphones SOLD OUT

Looks like Jay Z may be headed to court again now that the manufacturer for his Gold cologne filed an $18 million lawsuit. In other Roc Nation news, Rihanna’s luxurious Dolce & Gabbana headphones have sold out just a day after she posted up a pic of herself wearing them. Get all the deets inside…

Hip Hop mogul Jay Z has a new lawsuit on his hands. And they’re gunning for a cool $18 million.

So who’s suing Hov?

Perfumania Holdings Inc./Parlux Fragrances, the manufacturer for Gold Jay Z, has pulled the trigger on a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Jay after, according to them, a deal went totally wrong. Apparently, Jay skipped out on doing promo for Gold Jay Z -- a fragrance that was launched in 2014 -- all the while collecting $2 million in royalties.

Per the licensing agreement, the “99 Problems” rapper was obligated to promote the fragrance on social media and make several promotional appearances, including an appearance on “Good Morning America.”

Now, Perfumania Holdings/Palux Fragrances is making claims that due to Jay Z not promoting the cologne as he was contracted to do, it has caused sales to decline considerably.

Their lawsuit reads, “Sales of Gold Jay Z have declined considerably because of Jay Z’s and his team's lack of interest in supporting and promoting his own brand.”

The civil suit claims sales went from a projected $35 million down to $6.1 million due to Hov not properly promoting the fragrance. The suit goes on to say that the multi-Grammy winning artist did not make ONE single appearance to promote his cologne and he was also M.I.A. for five months for meetings about spinoff scents in 2014.

Now they want their money. The company is seeking $16 million in damages PLUS that $2 million in royalties.

As the saying goes…more money, more problems.

In other Roc Nation news....

 photo rihhead1.png

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!

The unusually quiet (just lately) pop princess Rihanna shared a selfie on social media yesterday rocking a super luxe pair of Dolce & Gabbana headphones while listening to her upcoming ANTI album.

 

 

The extra fancy headphones cost a cool $8,895. Yes, you read that right. Well, if you were looking to cop your own pair, you’re out of luck! The headphones have already SOLD OUT on the Italian fashion house’s website less than 24 hours after RiRi posted up the flick. And here's the proof:

 photo rihhead2.jpg

Recessession be damned!  Yep, they're gone! For now anyways. Just goes to show the power of promo when you get an international superstar to pub your product. Hmmm...maybe Hov should take a page out of RiRi's book to keep those lawsuits away.

Kendrick Lamar was chosen to be featured in Calvin Klein’s Spring 2016 global advertising campaign, along with a few other YBFers including Fetty Wap and FKA Twigs.

Kendrick took to his Instagram today to reveal his new ad. He posted up a shot of himself looking in the mirror holding up a camera captioning, “I reflect in #mycalvins @calvinklein”.

We're just wondering why Kendrick didn’t strip down to his boxers for the campaign like some others.  We would have been here for it....

Here's a look at Fetty and FKA Twigs' pics below:

In other Kendrick news...

We’re just weeks away from the biggest night in music crowning this year’s heavy hitters at the 2016 GRAMMY Awards. But before the ceremony (set to go down February 15th), the Grammy organization has released a new short film featuring none other than west coast rapper Kendrick Lamar titled, “Witness Greatness.”

In the promo clip, the Compton native takes it back to streets of the city that raised him with a few locals reciting lyrics from his track “Alright,” a cut from his To Pimp A Butterfly LP.

It has been one hell of year for Kendrick. He’s up for 11 Grammy Awards, including album of the year for To Pimp A Butterfly. He’s also set to perform during the awards show. And let’s not forget his epic sitdown with our Commander-In-Chief President Barack Obama.

Check out Kendrick’s new GRAMMY promo above.

On the move!  Amber Rose had an interesting trip with her frenemies' exes, plus Marlon Wayanas and Steve Harvey making their rounds on both coasts....

Well, this is interesting.  A couple days ago, Amber Rose randomly followed Scott Disick on Instagram.  If you're keeping up wiith the Kardashian sisters' track record with men, you know both Scott and French Montana are exes of Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian. 

So earlier this week, Amber was spotted hopping off a private jet from Vegas, and back into L.A., after partying alongside both guys:

 photo berrose10_zps9ghngh4i.jpg photo mberose7_zpswnrpmgyp.jpg

The person who posted a video these snaps were taken from also traveled with French TO Vegas.  Hmmm.  This all comes around the same time Amber friended Scot on social media. Petty?  Maybe.   Especially given the bitter taste Amber and her bestie Blac Chyna put in the mouths of Khloe and Kim after that epic Twitter fight happened last year over Tyga.

Amber's rep says nothing is going on though, she simply "respects" Scott as a business man.  Hmph.

The talk show and game show host has been totally living the good life. Much deserved.

And John and Chrissy Teigen tiptoed out into the streets of NYC for a night out.  Ice and snow were covering the ground after the big storm earlier this week, but the pregnant Chrissy had some help to avoid wiping out:

He stopped by Power 105 host Angela Yee's Lip Service recently to chat with the hosts about anything and everything s-e-x.  Get all the nastiness from Marlon's experiece with golden showers to his expert opinion on how to please a woman in bed.  We gotta say, we were impressed.

Rihanna teamed up with her ex boo Drake for her brand new single "Work."  Listen to the radio rip inside...

As the release of Anti creeps closer, we're expecting a taste of the album here and there. Today, Rihanna dropped off her newest single "Work" to large iHeart radio stations, international radio, and it's currently streaming on TIDAL. But we've got the radio rip for you below.

The track features Drake and it's giving us "Take Care" Part 2 steeze, but less melodic and much more choppy.

The dancehall inspired track, produced by Boi-1da, SEVN Thomas, and Allen Ritter, already has visuals as RiRi and Drizzy reportedly taped the video at L.A.’s Eagle Rock Plaza this month.

As for the album's release date, Billboard says fans can expect a surprise release by Friday.

Kanye is doing the most as usual.  After announcing that he would be having a huge live event at Madison Square Garden on February 11th to celebrate the album and Yeezy Season 3, drama happened with tickets (but apparently the event is still happening) and the name of the album changed.

 photo waves1_zpsbavsteku.jpg

The LP is no longer SWISH, it's now called WAVES.

'Ye explained:

As for that Max B reference, it's likely because Max B fans starting dragging 'Ye for jacking the locked up rapper's signature saying.  Sigh.

Who is Max B, you ask?  He's a Harlem rapper who signed with Jim Jones almost 10 years ago.  But in 2009, he was sentenced to 75-years in prison on conspiracy charges in relation to armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony murder.

Wiz Khalifa took to Twitter to voice his issues with the new album name saying:

Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.
 
Oh. 
 
We doubt Kanye has any F's to give because he's moving forward, unbothered, after tweeting his respect.

GETTING SERIOUS? Rob Kardashian Reportedly Moves In With Blac Chyna!

Looks like this “fling” with Blac Chyna is starting to get a little serious. New reports suggest Rob Kardashian has MOVED in with Chyna. Deets inside….

The Kardashian Klan collectively weeps.

According to new reports, Rob Kardashian has moved in with Blac Chyna! This news comes days after Chyna hinted at a new “beginning” with the former reality star and Rob himself joining in on the Instagram drama.

TMZ is reporting Rob has been living with Chyna for about 5 days after he shot her a direct message through Instagram two weeks ago. Apparently, he's not there to stay. He's supposedly living there to drop a few lbs. Tyga’s baby mama is helping Rob get back into shape with vigorous workout routines...or so they say. (FYI—He had a health scare recently after learning he was diagnosed with diabetes).

Yesterday, Rob was spotted rolling into the video vixen's gated community in Tarzana. Peep the pics here.

We showed you a picture of Rob & Chyna sweating it out in the gym yesterday. Check it out HERE. Today, Rob posted up a picture of Blac Chyna on his Instagram with the "key" emoji in the caption:

Sources also tell the site that Rob actually likes Chyna and that he isn’t hooking up with her to get back at his family, whom he seemingly despises. Y’all know the bad blood between Chyna and Kylie Jenner, who is currently dating Chyna’s ex and baby's father Tyga.

Apparently, Rob & Chyna have actually been friends (or at least acquaintances) since back in the day when Chyna was besties with his big sister Kim Kardashian West. Remember those “Kanye West Workout Plan” selfies?

Well, as expected, his family isn’t happy about his most recent hook-up. For obvious reasons. Sources tell TMZ the Kardashian Klan feel like Chyna is just playing into his insecurities for her own gain. Hmph. They would know.

Last night...

 

Never go against THE Family. I love Yeezy's studio speeches!!

A photo posted by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

 

Rob's sister Khloe Kardashian posted a pic with Scottie Pippen's wife Larsa Pippen and her sisters Kim & Kourtney during one of Kanye's stdio sessions with the caption, "Never go against THE Family. I love Yeezy's studio speeches!!" There she goes talking about "going against the family again." She'll likely say this wasn't a subliminal at her brother either.

So, do we think Rob & Chyna is the real deal....or just smoke and mirrors?

IT'S WAR! Kanye Used 17 "Of Alls" To Disrespect The Hell Out Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose & Their Kid + Amber & Wiz's Booty-Filled Responses

Grab your shades, your tea, and your pearls. Kanye West just created a total Twitter sh*tstorm by bringing hell fire to Wiz Khalifa's doorstep. All because he THOUGHT the rapper was coming for Kim Kardashian West. We've got EVERYTHING that just went down, including how Amber Rose was dragged into the mix and her EPIC response.

 

Keep up...

Y'all.  Kanye is officially off his rocker, and is seemingly proud of that ish.  He just displayed the most disrespectful twitter rage of all time.  He deleted the posts.  But once we've screenshot it, we've got the screenshots....FO EVA (*Cardi B voice*).

We told you earlier that Max B fan Wiz Khalifa tweeted his problem with Kanye renaming his album Waves.  Then, Kanye LET HIM HAVE IT.  Not exactly because of Wiz's issue with the album title name, but because his narcissism got in the way.  Wiz referenced KK (a type of weed) and 'Ye assumed it was a diss at Kim.

Here's how it all started:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.35.15 PM_zpshxbs4rld.png

Then Kanye twirled back to Twitter with this response:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.35.02 PM_zps9iiazlzv.png

Sigh. 

'Ye was on a damn mission though, so he didn't stop there.  It's like he just decided to finally let out a dragging he's been holding in for Wiz ever since Wiz wifed his ex Amber Rose.

Catch it from the bottom to the top:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.34.29 PM_zpsnpd5zkxt.png

 

Nope, it's not over.  In true Gemini form, Kanye flipped the script and said he's all about peace, love and making this a gospel album.  Chile:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.35.52 PM_zps6ljzm5sa.png

 

When he finally paused long enough to see Wiz wasn't even talking about his wife, Kanye tweeted:

 

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.36.20 PM_zpsyutv1ivr.png

 

Kanye decided to use the very machine he claims to hate to drum up more publicity for his album dropping in a couple weeks.  And, once again, at his ex Amber Rose's expense.  Amber caught all that disrespectful shade toward her and her son Sebastian, so she responded like:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.36.14 PM_zps45br5j87.png

Chile...

WHY do folks keep trying to battle with Amber?  And WHY can't Kanye leave her be?

The "All Day" rapper went on a deleting spree and Amber said:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.36.41 PM_zpsz2kk1v7j.png

Meanwhile, comedian Lil Duval posted what we were all thinking:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 4.36.04 PM_zpsontsv7v4.png  

Because let's keep it 100.  The wife you worship, Kanye, sells the exact same T&A that strippers do.  Yet, she went even further and had sex on camera, and happily got paid for it for public consumption.  The only differences between your wife and your ex you KEEP trying to berate, belittle, and slut shame are their skin color and socioeconomic status.

By the way, Kim K.'s comment section is in shambles:

Jagged Edge member Kyle Norman talks about WHY he choked his now wife Marikka, which eventually landed him behind bars. Find out what he said inside…

Nearly a year after being thrown in jail for physically assaulting his wife, Jagged Edge member Kyle Norman is opening up for the first time about that dreadful night that resulted in his now wife Marikka Maria suffering from black eyes, memory loss and more that landed her in the hospital.

 photo kylsh1.jpg

A little backstory….

Back in January 2015, Kyle was arrested and charged for aggravated assault on his then fiancée Marikka after an argument that went to far. According to reports, Marikka suffered a golf ball sized knot on her upper left forehead, a burst blood vessel in her eye, a cut to her nose and she had welts under her eyes after Kyle came home in a drunken rage. And that’s not all.

The R&B crooner was so enraged that he wrapped his hands around her neck and chocked her while SHOVING her engagement ring down her throat! Yeah, it was bad.

About four months later, Kyle and Marikka decided to put the past behind them and eventually got married! He claimed he was a changed man who no longer drank or did drugs, and Marikka believed him.

Now, the married couple is opening up about the ordeal for the first time on a recent episode of the “Steve Harvey Show.” On the show, Kyle reveals why he went crazy on his now wife. He said, “I was just out of my mind. I was delirious. I wish she just would have held me…and she didn’t. So, I felt the world was against me.”

Check it:

 

His wife Marikka then came out to explain why she decided to stay after being beat down like a random dude on the street. She explained, “You just have to forgive. This was just a situation with Kyle that I knew was not him. He always provided for me and cared for me. He was just out of his mind. You’re not yourself.” She went on to say the situation has caused a lot of turmoil in her life, including her relationship with her father. She said her father no longer deals with her because she took Kyle back.

Marikka then opens up about how her foster daughter was taken away from her the day the police showed up at her door to arrest her now husband. Then Kyle breaks down crying as he apologizes. Check it:

Marikka then asks people not to judge her:

Love is blind....

Tyra Banks Is A Mom! Supermodel & Boyfriend Erik Welcome Baby Boy Via Surrogate

Tyra Banks' biggest dream just came true!  She just became a mom to a baby boy!  The shocking details inside...

Supermodel and former "ANTM" and "The Fab Life" host Tyra Banks has always been quite vocal about her struggles to get pregnant.  She's made it clear that becoming a mother is one of her biggest dreams.  Now, it's happened.  And none of us saw this coming.

Tyra just announced that she and her 51-year-old Norwegian photographer boyfriend Erik Asla have welcomed a baby boy via surrogate!  The bundle of joy's name is York Banks Asla, and the 42-year-old model mogul made the announcement via social media.

She posted the below adorable hat and caption:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 9.22.17 PM_zpskvjvz9az.png

"The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here. He's got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik's mouth and chin. As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world."

Awww.

When Tyra Banks announced her surprising departure from "The Fab Life" just two months ago, many believe it was because of the low ratings.  While that could have been part of it (the show has now been cancelled), it looks like her new baby's arrival also could have had something to do with cutting back on her nonstop work schedule.

Just four months ago on "The Fab Life," the then co-host cried while talking about her struggle to have a baby.  Interestingly, her co-host Chrissy Teigen also was extremely emotional about her own struggle to get pregnant.

The business mogul revealed through tears,"When I was 23 years old, I used to tell myself, ‘In three years I'm gonna have kids.' Then I turned 24. ‘In three years I'm gonna have kids.' And then just every single year I kept saying that. And then, after a while it's like, OK, now I want to—and it's not so easy."

Today, Chrissy is several months pregnant with her first baby, a girl, and Tyra is a new mom to a baby boy who carries both her and Erik's DNA.

Congrats to Tyra and Erik!

So…Is Common Dating Hollywood Actress Laura Dern Or Nah? Because He Was Spotted With Actress Claudia Gerini In Rome!

Gotta love the rumor mill! Word on the curb was that Common was allegedly dating Hollywood actress Laura Dern. But, new reports claim that’s not true. Not only that, the Chi-town rapper was spotted getting kissy with Italian actress Claudia Gerini in Rome recently. More inside….

So…do y’all remember those flicks we showed you of Oscar winner Common and Jurassic Park actress Laura Dern grabbing dinner together in L.A. a few weeks ago? Well, the rumor mill caught on fire saying a relationship was budding between the two. We weren’t immediately convinced. The body language in the photo looked a bit off.

Well it seems our hunch may have been right. A source close to the Chi-town rapper tells HipHollywood he and Laura are NOT an item. The rumors are not true, according to said source.

Another report by US Weekly confirmed Common and Laura were in fact an item and that the “Glory” rapper even met her two children, 14-year-old son Ellery and her 11-year-old daughter Jaya. Hip Hollywood’s source says Common actually may have indeed met her children, but it’s strictly platonic between them. The source says Common and Laura recently shot a film together and were dining out (and possibly meeting family members) on a friendly dinner outing.

 photo Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 9.43.18 PM.png

The SELMA star is currently in Rome, Italy, likely filming for (at least) one of his upcoming movies, Leavey and John Wick 2. He has been keeping his fans up-to-date on his travels around the city via Instagram. Which brings us to...

 photo clad1.jpg

We ran across a few snapshots of Common leaving dinner while in Rome recently (which we can't post here). And he wasn’t alone. He was spotted with Italian actress Claudia Gerini (above), who starred in The Passion of the Christ.  As they said their good-byes they looked like there COULD be some chemistry. Claudia tightly embraced Common around his neck as she kissed him.

Mmhmm… we see you Common.

IT'S HERE! Rihanna Releases ANTI Album, Gives "Free" Streams On TIDAL & Samsung

Rihanna just dropped her Anti album semi-unannounced.  Get the deets inside on the semi-surprise rollout...

After dropping her single "Work" featuring Drake Wednesday afternoon, and after reports went rampant that her album would be available some time before Friday, the wait is over.

RiRi just released the entire Anti album on Samsung devices and TIDAL.

The album was actually supposed to be a TIDAL exclusive release at midnight where you received a free code from the AntiDiaRY app on Samsung devices first.  But when TIDAL accidentally uploaded the album a few hours early and it accidentally leaked, folks with all devices were scrambling to download it and rip it for the masses.

So Ri went ahead and allowed for the album to be released on both platofrms, and she gave out the code herself on her Instagram page saying:

A gift to my navy! #ANTI is available right now!!! Download with code: ANTI http://smarturl.it/RihANTI @samsungmobileusa

Now, anyone can stream the album on Tidal for free (until the free offers run out).  For non-Samsung device users, you may be required to sign up for the free 60 day TIDAL trial as well. 

Samsung paid a cool $25 million to work with Ri on this release, so it's safe to say she likely mimicked Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail release.  For Hov, Samsung purchased a million dollars worth of MCHG albums and gave them to Samsung users for free.

Forbes reports TIDAL has exclusivity on the album for the first week of its release.

The 13 song tracklist interestingly doesn't include her previous singles "American Oxygen" "BBHMM" and "FourFiveSeconds."  But according to Forbes, Rihanna's releasing a deluxe version with an additional 3 songs this Friday.

The tracklist for the initial release is below:

Rihanna - ANTI (Tracklist)
1. "Consideration" featuring SZA
2. "James Joint"
3. "Kiss It Better"
4. "Work" featuring Drake
5. "Desperado"
6. "Woo"
7. "Needed Me"
8. "Yeah, I Said It"
9. "Same Ol’ Mistakes"
10. "Never Ending"
11. "Love on the Brain"
12. "Higher"
13. "Close to You"

Have YOU downloaded it yet?!
