Beyonce’s stylist Ty Hunter is spilling a few deets on the Queen’s upcoming album. Find out what he said and check out flicks of Brandy, Sevyn Streeter and Jeremih partying with Tyrese during Super Bowl 50 inside…

“You know you that b!tch when you cause all this conversation” – Beyonce

The Beyonce effect is happening and now everyone is talking about her.

After that epic Super Bowl 50 halftime performance, everyone is wondering about the possibility of a new album. It seems evident after she announced her “Formation World Tour,” set to kick off in Miami on April 27th.

Well, now we know a new Beyonce album IS coming. And some of her team have already previewed it.

Bey’s stylist Ty Hunter was tapped to play the bartender on BRAVO’s “Watch What Happens Live” last night where he spilled some lukewarm tea on Bey's upcoming LP.

When host Andy Cohen asked if he had heard the new musical offering, Ty confirmed he did and summed it up in three words: “It’s BEYOND awesome.”

Check it:

We’re still recovering from her halftime performance. No telling how long it’s going to take us to get back into “formation” after she drops that new album. Since the tour begins at the end of April, Bey’s sixth studio album can pop up at any time. And y’all know how she likes surprises.

Speaking of the Super Bowl….

 photo typa2.png

It was an R&B reunion!

R&B singer Tyrese invited some friends over to watch Super Bowl 50 on Sunday. And a few of his R&B friends came out to party!

Brandy, Sevyn Streeter and Jeremih came out to watch the big game at Ty’s crib where there was an overflow of laughs, drinks and good times.

Hmm…Sevyn has worked with Brandy on an album before…Jeremih is a known songwriter and producer and Ty is always preaching about bringing R&B back…is there an R&B collabo in the works? If so, we’re totally here for it.

 photo typa1.png

The beautiful brown beauties snapped a gorgeous selfie where Sevyn captioned, “Fun Timez At @tyrese Crib with my Sis @4everbrandy Just Love Her #SuperbowlSunday #TyreseCribLit".

 photo typa3.png

We see Sevyn is tapping into a 90s vibe these days. Cute.

Fun times.

Kanye West Will Gift You A Free Pair Of Yeezys If You Can Guess His NEW Album Title, Says Next Collection Will Focus On Kids’ Clothes

Kanye West has changed the title of his upcoming album....yet again. Now, he’s offering up a free pair of Yeezys and tickets to his album listening event in NYC this week if you can guess what the title is. Take a stab at it inside and get the deets on Ye’s next "season" inside…

Kanye West, seen above making his rounds in NYC today, has changed the title of his upcoming album numerous times already. From So Help Me God, to SWISH, to WAVES, Ye just can't seem to decide. Now, two days before the album is released, he has finally decided on a new title that will hopefully stay the name before it's released to the masses.

A few days ago, we told you Ye had dropped the title WAVES.  Now, the “Mercy” rapper announced he had come up with a new one.

He tweeted:

 photo kanal1.png

Kanye's upcoming 8th studio album is currently being labeled with the acronym“T.L.O.P.”

 photo kanal2.png

If you can guess the correct title for the acronym, the “Only One” rapper is gifting a pair of Yeezy sneakers and a pair of tickets to his upcoming album listening party at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 11th (during NY Fashion Week). You can enter your guess on Twitter by "@" Kanye. Also, 'Ye is also dropping Season 3 of his Yeezy collection during NYFW.

Speaking of fashion, Ye said Season 4 of his collection will be strictly for kids:

 photo kanla3.png

Looks like his 2-year-old daughter North West& newborn son Saint West have inspired 'Ye to venture into the children's realm of fashion. Wondering if he plans on sticking to his tan/brown/earth tone color scheme or will he surprise us with some color.

James Harden & Khloe Kardashian Call It Quits? French Montana Takes Her To The Strip Club + Kanye West, June Ambrose, Justine Skye & Kylie Jenner In NYC

We hear James Harden and Khloe Kardashian have called it quits. And last night, rapper French Montana took his newly single (and still legally married) ex to the strip club. Meanwhile, Kanye West and June Ambrose came out to support Kendall& Kylie Jenner’s clothing launch, plus we have pics of Justine Skye dining with her bestie Kylie. More inside…

Well what do we have here? French Montana and Khloe Kardashian are hanging out again…shortly after reports that Khloe and NBA baller James Harden called it quits.

A source as confirmed to E! that James and Khloe have decided to part ways. But, the twosome ended their short-lived relationship on good terms. The source revealed "nothing really [bad] happened" between them other than not spending enough time together. It appears their schedules didn’t allow them to see each other as much as they would like, so the relationship sort of “died out.”

Now that she’s “single lady” (we use the term loosely as she’s still legally married to Lamar Odom), she’s back to hanging out with her former flame. French and Khloe were spotted hitting up Ace of Diamonds strip club in L.A. last night (with Maliah Michel as the special guest dancer) after having celebrating a mutual friend's birthday at West Hollywood's hotspot BOA Steakhouse, likely Michael B. Jordan who was also there.

 photo EWE4.jpg

After partying all night long, the twosome left together as well:

 

Mmhmm....

By the way:

 photo mbAOD.png

Hottie Michael B. Jordan celebrated his 29th birthday at Ace of Diamonds with a few of his friends. Happy Birthday Michael!

On the east coast....

After announcing the new name of his upcoming album, Kanye West hit the NYC scene to support his sisters-in-law Kendall and Kylie Jenner at their pre-New York Fashion Week clothing launch. 

Those pants...

 photo EWE30.jpg

'Ye stole the show when he popped up at the event last night. Fans ambushed him once he made his arrival.

We told you the "Bound 2" rapper has been tweeting a lot more these days now that he has an album dropping. And today's tweets have us raising our eyebrows and scratching our heads. He sent out a series of tweets claiming Bill Cosby is innocent and that Kylie will NEVER sign the recent seven-figure PUMA deal she was offered because she's part of HIS "family."

Check it (read from the bottom up--if it matters):

Back at the fashion event...

Celebrity stylist June Ambrose turned heads in a black-and-white Helen Yarmak fur coat, a funky printed black-and-white W29 Showroom dress and black thigh-high boots to check out Kendall and Kylie's latest designs. The fashion maven hardly EVER disappoints and last night was no different.  Fashion week doesn't officially start until Thursday, but she just gave us NYFW LIFE with this look.  Loves it!

 photo KendallKylieLaunchuahUjG4NEFXl.jpg

June is gearing up for a super busy week as New York Fashion Week kicks off Feb. 11th.

Also in the Big Apple....

 photo EWE3.jpg

Before hitting up the Kendall+Kylie launch event, besties Justine Skye and Kylie Jenner reunited for dinner at Nobu in NYC last night.  The purple unicorn singer seems to be super supportive of her friend.

 photo EWE1.jpg

Justine and Kylie, both rocking all-black ensembles, held hands as they trekked through the crowd of photogs trying to snap a flick of them. Hmmm...we noticed Kylie's boyfriend Tyga was a no-show at her fashion event, but he was on daddy duty with his son King last night. T-Raww  did post up a SnapChat video saying he was headed to NYC, and he was supposedly out with Kanye earlier, so it's likely the two will link up soon.

Serena Williams is vacaying in Jamaica, and she's giving back while doing so.  In more ways than one.  Get it all inside, plus Cam Newton's response to the post-game critics...

Serena is putting in work work work work work, in the words of Rihanna.  She's chillin' in Jamaica with friends, and decided to show the SnapChat world her striped swimsuit of the day.  

Can we talk about how she is the epitome of #CakeGoals?  Sheesh.  Let 'em know 'Rena!

When she's not flossing all that booty and her perfectly toned bod on vacay, she's dancing it up and having a little fun:

She's also in the country to help build schools through her Foundation.

She said:

Nice!

Over in the football world, Cam is still slaying dragons several days after Super Bowl. He's clapping back at folks who called him names and accused him of displaying poor sportsmanship when he lost the Super Bowl.

In an interview with media Tuesday, Cam had words for those who want him to act like somebody he's not.  He said in the Panthers locker room:

I've said it since day one.  I know who I am and I know what I'm capable of and I know where I'm going.  And I don't have to confirm to anybody else's wants for me to do.  I'm not that guy.  If you want me to be this type of person, I'm not that.  And I'm happy to say that.

This league is a great league with or without me.  I understand that.  And I am my own person.  I take pride in that.

He also said he has no regrets for how he handled that post game interview on Sunday.  He said he's human and never proclaimed he was perfect.

The league's MVP also spoke about how the Panthers team is criticized constantly, yet no one on the team ever had to sit out for disciplinary reasons and the coaches have never said they are not coachable. He was adamant that they're professional, and they will be back.

Now that Russell Wilson is officially in the off season, the Seahawks QB is sticking right by his girlfriend Ciara's side as she runs around the country doing her model and performance duties.  Check out the twosome in NYC last night all loved up courtside at the Knicks game...

They can barely keep their hands off each other, and it's freakin' adorable.

Keds' Ladies First campaign spokeswoman CiCi swapped out her sneakers from her earlier appearance on the NYSE for her knee high suede Louboutin boots as she and her boo Russell Wilson hit Madison Square Garden.

The newly blonde singer, who just filed a $15 million lawsuit on her son's father Future, was all smiles as she cutely leaned on her man as she watched the game.

CiCi's bestie LaLa was also there cheering on her husband, Knicks baller Carmelo Anthony, so they snapped a few pics together while having some fun.

The twosome snapped some selfies as well:

Love them!

As for that FAT defamation, slander & libel lawsuit against Future, he's speaking out saying it's all B.S.  He's pissed Ciara would go that route when, he claims, she talked ish about him too.

TMZ claims:

Sources close to Future tell TMZ, the rapper thinks it's absurd his baby mama filed the slander suit, since she's talked plenty of trash on him. We're told he believes Exhibit A is her 2015 platinum selling hit, "I Bet." 

With lyrics like ... "You know that it hurts your pride but you thought the grass was greener on the other side. I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else. Somebody better than you” -- the song is widely believed to be about Future allegedly cheating on Ciara.

Our source says he could've sued over that, but didn't want to be petty. As for whether he fires back with a lawsuit now -- we're told he's considering it, but hasn't seen Ciara's docs yet. His team claims the process server at LAX failed to deliver.

This will only get messier chile...

Snapback queen! Teyana Taylor is flaunting her toned abs in a new video for her track "Touch Me (Interlude).” Peep the sexy clip inside…

It’s hard to believe R&B singer Teyana Taylor gave birth to a baby girl back in December after seeing her new visual treatment. Chick is showing off her post-baby washboard abs that would make any new mom (or woman in general) jealous.

Remember when she gave us a peek at her snapback game just DAYS after giving birth to baby girl Iman. Jr? If not, check it out HERE. She was already more than half way back to her pre-baby abs. 

The new mom makes her return to the music scene with a brand new video treatment for her interlude “Touch Me,” a cut from her 90s-inspired mixtape, Tha Cassette Tape 1994, that dropped last year.

In the Chaz "Destiny" Morgan clip (that Teyana co-directs), the "Maybe" singer oozes sex appeal serving up a sexy chair routine in army fatigues for her man. The video starts with a sound bite from the 1992 classic film Boomerang then she starts singing, “Come f*ck me babe.” Oww!

Check it:

We feelin' it?

The Harlem native is set to hit the stage at S.O.B.’s in NYC tomorrow night. Later, she plans to hit the road for her “Unplugged Tour" with the dates being announced in the near future.

“The View” co-host Raven Symone pulled off a gothic look at the Zoolander 2 NYC premiere held at Alice Tully Hall last night. We all know how Raven loves to make a statement and she’s keeping with that theme.

A few days ago, Raven was the target of social media slander from the BeyHive after she made THIS statement about Beyonce’s new “Formation” video:

“The new video from Beyonce is hilarious and amazing, and all the Beyhives will be coming for me, but I miss Beyonce singing a ballad in a dress,” she said. “I miss that girl singing. I’ve seen you dance, I miss you. Where’s the ‘Me, Myself and I?’”

Y’all know the Hive came for her and let her have it!

Will Smith Has Nothing But Love For Janet Hubert, Addresses Son Jaden Smith Wearing Skirts + Ciara Gears Up For "Jackie" Tour

Will Smith opens up in a new interview where he responds to Janet Hubert and all of her shade, plus, he talks about his son Jaden Smith wearing a skirt in a new ad. Get the highlights from his interview, plus the dates of Ciara’s upcoming Jackie Tour inside….

Hollywood actor Will Smith is responding to Janet “Aunt Viv” Hubert. And his response might surprise you.

The Concussion star stopped by BBC Radio in London to chop it up about a number of things, including how much he respects Janet. Yes, the same Janet that dragged him and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith after they announced they would be boycotting this year’s Oscar Awards.

When asked which “Aunt Viv” he preferred on his hit TV series “Fresh Prince.” Will said he loved them both. Then, he started explaining just how much he loved her and why. He said,

“I think Janet Hubert Whitten brought a really powerful dignity to the show. I think she’s brilliant. I think as an artist, there’s so many things that she does. She sings, she dances, she’s like a really powerful artist. I loved what she brought to the Fresh Prince.”

It seems he has no hard feelings against her. She on the other hand….

Also during the interview, the 47-year-old actor addressed his 17-year-old son Jaden Smith posing in a new Louis Vuitton womenswear ad wearing a skirt. He said,

“Jaden is 100% FEARLESS. He will do anything. As a parent its scary, but he is willing to live and die by his own artistic decisions. He just doesn’t concern himself with what other people say.”

Well there you have it. Jaden gives zero **** what other people think.

Will then talked about his struggle with 15-year-old daughter Willow Smith and her curfew, the Oscars and doing Bad Boy 3 with Martin Lawrence.

Peep the full interview below:

Speaking of Jada...

The Magic Mike XXL star is still standing firm with her boycott of the Oscars. And now, she's speaking out on the Academy snubbing Idris Elba for his role in the Netflix original film Beasts of No Nation. TMZ photogs caught up with Jada and she had a message for those who said Beast of No Nation was to hard to watch. She said,

“Partly the reason that we have art is so that we can come out of our comfort zones and get to know about different cultures, different realities. And I must admit, Idris’ performance in that movie was fantastic."

She continued,

“If we’re going to have awards shows, it’s not watching movies based on preference, necessarily, especially if we claim that it’s about merit. But we need to watch movies because, if we’re having awards shows, we have to make sure that we are committed to being inclusive to everything."

Interesting. Do you agree with Jada?

In music news....

DO WE BELIEVE IT? Idris Elba Reportedly Splits From Longtime Girlfriend After Night Out With Naomi Campbell + Jordin Sparks & Sage The Gemini Call It Quits?

In Splitsville news, Idris Elba and his longtime girlfriend Naiyana Garth have allegedly called it quits after Idris was spotted out with Naomi Campbell. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating that Jordin Sparks and boyfriend Sage The Gemini have broken up. More inside….

Wait…what? Idris Elba…is newly single? That’s what the rumor mill is claiming.

Two-time SAG Award winner Idris Elba and his longtime girlfriend/mother of his son Naiyana Garth have reportedly called it quits. A source tells The Sun the two have called it quits and that Idris has already moved out. He found a spot not far from their home to remain close to their almost 2-year-old son, Winston. The source claims,

"It ended very recently and it's too soon for her to talk about it. They've kept it very quiet, so she's surprised people know already."

This Splitsville News comes just days after the “Luther” star was spotted leaving 1 Oak in L.A. with supermodel Naomi Campbell. Oh?

While there aren’t any receipts (as of yet) that Naomi is the cause of the breakup, we did notice Idris didn't bring his girlfriend to the SAG Awards. He showed up with his 13-year-old daughter Isan. We also noticed he never thanked his girlfriend during either of his acceptance speeches. Hmm….

Do we believe it?

In other alleged breakup news....

There are also rumors that R&B singer Jordin Sparks and her boyfriend Sage The Gemini have called it quits after 10 months of dating.

A source tells US Weekly, the 26-year-old songstress has removed all signs of Sage on her Instagram. And she did, we checked. We took a peek at Sage’s Instagram account and we didn’t come across a pic of Jordin either. Hmph.

Based on an IG caption Sage posted back in December, it appears this was likely going to be the outcome. He wrote,

“Mentally and physically I am weak. I am seeing and feeling myself get weaker says the old me. My imagination is a horrible place that I battle with in my relationship (being jealous) etc I say to myself maybe I should work out till I push evil thoughts out of me and ask God to shine light in the dark I'm f--kin myself up. I need to be a better man all the way around. So with that being said I will do so. Right now I'm actin like a bitch I'm makin bitch moves so I need to change that if I can get motivational words from you guys that would be amazing. Thanks."

You’ll recall, Sage temporarily deleted his social media accounts last summer after he was accused of cheating – i.e. trying to holla at some chick on Twitter. Sighs….

Wonder if his alleged cheating ways had anything to do with the rumored breakup.

Are we believing the rumors?

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up! Come inside to celebrate with the Pop princess for making history as the first and only artist in RIAA Gold & Platinum history to be certified with 100 million song awards….

Rihanna just dropped her ANTI album. And she’s still dominating the music scene.

After dropping her eighth studio album, the “Work” singer is basking in her accomplishments. And rightfully so.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Pop princess is the first and only artist to surpass RIAA’s 100 million cumulative singles award threshold. YAS! Chick is taking over the music game taking all prisoners.

Today, the Bajan beauty took to Instagram to post a pic of herself holding her history making plaque and another plaque for her ATNI album that went platinum a little over a day after it was released. She captioned, “Thank you to my kill team, NAVY we're the 1ST & ONLY in history to be @RIAA_awards certified with 100M song awards and.....#ANTI is PLATINUM! Thank u for the love! Glory be to God!!!"

Congrats Rihanna!

RiRi is set to hit the road on her “ANTI World Tour,” kicking off February 26th in San Diego. Before she goes on tour, she will rock out on the stage at this year’s GRAMMY Awards set to air February 15th. We wonder what track (or tracks) she's going to perform....

YBF celebs have joined in on the campaign trail for presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders from the Democratic party. Find out how Vivica Fox, Angela Bassett and Rev. Al Sharpton are getting in the mix inside…

YBF actress Vivica Fox found time out of her busy schedule to join the presidential campaign trail. Viv is currently filming for two new movies, the upcoming sequel film Independence Day: Resurgence and a new drama film called True To The Game. But, she took a moment to use her starpower for the greater good. 

The 51-year-old actress paid a visit to Denmark Technical College in Denmark, South Carolina to campaign for presidential hopeful/ Democrat Hillary Clinton. She encouraged the youth to get out there and vote while sharing a few good reasons why they should cast their vote for Hillary.

After her speech, she hugged, snapped selfies and signed autographs for her fans:

Following a loss to Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton is upping the ante in South Carolina.

“American Horror Story” star Angela Bassett was also in the state to talk to students at South Carolina State University.

Reportedly, African Americans are expected to make up more than half of Democratic primary voters when the polls open, so it’s important that Hillary reach out to the African-American community if she wants their vote. And it appears she's doing that with these YBF endorsements.

In other political news....

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders jetted to NYC yesterday to enjoy breakfast with civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton right after his huge win in New Hampshire. He too, is looking to reach the African-American community for their vote.

Bernie has been heavy on the campaign trail, trying to nab the black vote with rappers like Killer Mike endorsing him.

According to CBS, recent polling shows that Bernie’s efforts might be working. The latest CBS News Battleground Tracker showed him closing the gap with Hillary by 14 points in one month. Not to mention, his huge win at the New Hampshire primary hours before having breakfast with Rev. Sharpton.

After breakfast...

Well looky here. Jay Z and Robert De Niro were seated next to each other and spotted laughing it up during an event in NYC last night. Looks like the “beef” has been squashed and they’re back to being cordial at least. More inside….

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, held its annual fundraising gala at Cipriani Wall Street to honor producer/studio executive Harvey Weinstein for his contributions to the fight against AIDS.

 photo 2016amfARNewYorkGalaInsideknNHHTy0-Opl.jpg

Jay Z and Robert De Niro have let bygones be bygones and are back to being cool again, at least that’s how it looked last night.

So what was their beef? A few years ago, Hov said he would never speak to Robert after the two allegedly got into a huge argument at Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday bash. Apparently, Robert had a chip on his shoulder because he felt Jay was ignoring his phone calls. So, he approached Jay at the party and all hell broke loose. The Goodfellas star blasted the NYC rapper, calling him rude and disrespectful. And other partygoers witnessed the altercation. Hov said he felt completely disrespected by Robert and didn’t want anything to do with him after that.

Well, that all seems to be behind them now as they were all smiles throughout the night:

Inside the swanky soiree, Harvey had all of his friends at his table, including Jay (sans Beyonce) seated next to his former frenemy Robert De Niro. Harvey’s mother Miriam Weinstein and Robert's wife Grace Hightower were also seated at the table.

Derek Fisher Joins Gloria Govan, Family & Friends On Birthday Getaway After Getting Fired + “The Next: 15” Cast Hits Up ATL Screening

Derek Fisher was fired as the Knicks head coach a few days ago, but that hasn’t put a damper on things. He’s headed out on an international birthday trip with rumored fling Gloria Govan, who’s still legally married to Matt Barnes. Meanwhile, Gloria’s sister Laura Govan was was busy promoting her new show “The Next: 15” in ATL. Everything inside…..

If you thought former reality star Gloria Govan and now-former NY Knicks head coach Derek Fisher stopped messing with each other after Gloria’s ex Matt Barnes opened a can of whoop a** on Derek, guess again.

Late last night, Gloria hopped on Instagram to share a picture of herself along with her family (mom, dad & brothers) and her friends hopping on an airplane for a group getaway to celebrate her birthday. If you look at the person directly under the purple arrow, you’ll notice that it is Derek! Hey, he has plenty time on his hands now after he was fired as the head coach of the New York Knicks a few days ago.

 photo glod1tease.jpg

Once folks started pointing out Derek in the background, Gloria deleted the picture from her account.

This just continues the love triangle between Derek, Gloria and Matt. Remember when Matt DROVE 95 miles to beat Derek up after he found out his former friend/teammate and his estranged wife were getting close? In fact, REAL close. It was reported Derek had been spending time with Matt and Gloria's twin sons.

Later, Matt came out and revealed he felt betrayed by them in an infamous New Year's Day rant, but, Gloria and Derek don't seem to mind. Hmph.

Matt hasn't said anything about it yet, but we predict a rant of some sort in 5...4...3...2...

Meanwhile...

Gloria's sister, former “Basketball Wives” star Laura Govan joined her "The Next: 15" castmates in Atlanta last night for a private screening of their premiere episode on TV One. She was joined by former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Benzino, former “Basketball Wives” star Jennifer Williams, former "The Real World: Philadelphia" star Karamo Brown and former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Claudia Jordan.

We wonder if Jennifer and Claudia played nice after Jennifer read Claudia for filth on social media recently. Jennifer posted a picture of herself with the caption,"So I land in ATL and get word @claudiajordan is doing interviews saying I'm jealous of her!!! Bissshhhh where?

Lovebirds Ciara and Russell Wilson are in NYC giving us the feels with all their lovey dovey coupledom moments. The R&B singer and Super Bowl champ jetted from L.A. to the Big Apple (along with Baby Future) to attend a few events together. They could hardly keep their eyes and hands off of each other at a Knicks game the other night.

Last night, the YBF couple was spotted holding hands as they hit the pavement making their way to dinner. How cute are these two?

During his acceptance speech, John talked about how mainstream inclusion isn’t that important in the long run and how black people are winning despite exclusion. He touched on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy saying,

“We’ve been fighting for inclusion ever since the chains have been put on. Sometimes when you make such an emphasis of inclusion you lose sight of the big picture, you lose sight of what the big end game is. In terms of pop culture in this country, we've already won the end game. It doesn’t matter if a certain organization, whether it's the Academy, or another organization excludes our black artists. We know that what we do no matter what is going to propagate over time. It’s going to change not only our own people but everybody else.”

We agree!

Zendaya and Tamar Braxton are on the promo trail making appearances on the talk show circuit. Peep their candids and find out what they dished about inside...

 photo tamea4.jpg

Disney starlet and fashionista Zendaya is making press rounds and she was spotted arriving at ABC studios for a sit-down on late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The 19-year-old "K.C. Undercover" star kept it cute in all black and she's still rocking her cropped blonde wiggery. We’re loving those black strappy sandals.  The busy teen also has her own DAYA collection of shoes.

 photo tamae3.jpg

Once inside, Daya chopped it up about how she recently got her driver’s license. She revealed she also has her own car, but she still prefers to be driven around by her parents while she catches some “Zzz’s” in the backseat. Ha! Total opposite from most teens getting their license for the first time.

The socially conscious teen also talked about how she accidentally watched her first R-Rated movie with her dad, working on the music video “Neverland” with Bryan Cranston and what the new name for her fans should be.

Peep the clips below from her interview:

In other news, rumors are still circulating that Zendaya and “American Crime” star Trevor Jackson are dating. He’s still denying that they are couple. He says Zendaya is NOT his girlfriend and that she is just his “home girl.” Mmmhmm…

Check it at the 6:10 mark below:

He's a cutie.
