Jason Derulo and K. Michelle heat things up in a brand new video titled “Naked.” Peep the sexy video treatment, plus get into T-Pain’s new wedding track “Officially Yours” inside…

It’s Friday and we have a sexy new video to kick-off your holiday weekend.

R&B singer Jason Derulo turns up the heat in his new video “Naked” where he…gets naked! He’s definitely giving us D’Angelo “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” vibes showing off his v-cut with the cameras zooming down as far as possible without putting his man parts on display.

Following their sultry collaboration from his Everything Is 4 album, Jason taps R&B songbird K. Michelle as the love interest in his new clip for his music video directorial debut. She doesn’t sing on the track, but she does show off her “ass”ets and lady lumps in the video treatment.

The track is cut from Jason’s upcoming mixtape, Experimental. He talks about the mixtape bringing a different sound saying (via press release),

"[This mixtape] is very different than what anybody is used to me doing, which I'm excited about. I think we all have different faces. We're somebody different when we're with our best friend. We're somebody different when we're with our mom. We're somebody different when we're with our siblings. This is just one of my many faces on my mixtape and I'm just excited to share it with everybody, because people have no idea that I have that side."

Peep the sexy clip below:

We feelin’ it?

The “Talk Dirty” singer will be performing his new single “Get Ugly” next Thursday, February 18th on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

In other new music...

T-Pain is calling all the lovers on his new wedding-inspired single “Officially Yours.” If you’ll notice, the cover art features a wedding picture from his nuptials to his wife Amber Najm. Outside of talking about past infidelities, this is one of the firs times he has gone public with his wife. We don’t hear or see her often.

After performing the single live during the 2015 NPR Upfront concert (a year after his NPR Tiny Desk Concert), fans requested he release the track as a new single and here we are. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the R&B crooner sets the mood with his new ballad. In collaboration with the release of the new track, he also released a lyric video that included fan-submitted wedding videos and pictures from their nuptials.

He chopped it up with Esquire revealing he wrote the track three years ago and only recently rediscovered it.

"It was one that I just had sitting around and I was like, why haven't I done anything with this song,” said T-Pain. “It's a great song it just needed some attention."

Check it below:

And there's more that came from. T-Pain is gearing up to release more music in the coming months.

"There's definitely more music coming. I've been holding off to make sure I have the ideal situation for myself and my family," he said. "But it's gonna go from a trickle to a flood."

Nice!

Kanye West is back on his Good Fridays ish with new music released today.  We've got "30 Hours" inside, plus his latest beef with Taylor Swift's brother....

Yeeze is fresh off his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show.  He just dropped a new song off his TLOP album (which drops today) called "30 Hours" in honor of his Good Friday new music releases.

On the track, he gives yet another slight at an ex, this tie sh remains unnamed.  But we have our guesses as to who he's speaking of.

Yeezy raps:

"My ex said she gave me the best years of her life, I saw a recent pic of her I guess she was right."

Sigh.

Check out the song in full below: 

Meanwhile, 'Ye is in yet another beef.  He has records to sell, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

During his Yeezy Collection fashion show at Madison Square Garden last night, the rapper played his new album for the crowd.  On the track "Famous," he rapped this lyric:

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that bitch famous / God damn / I made that bitch famous.”

Taylor's brother Austin immediately took to his Instagram to show a video of him throwing Kanye's Yeezy 350 Boosts sneakers - which were likely gifted to him by Ye so Kanye could get some pub (Taylor was once spotted wearing them) -- in the garbage.

 

A video posted by Austin Swift (@austinkingsleyswift) on Feb 11, 2016 at 4:17pm PST

Then Kanye launched into one of his numerical bulleted rants on Twitter this AM.  He said, basically, that Bitch is used as a term of endearment in hip hop and Taylor herself allegedly said Kanye made her famous. He claimed it was all Taylor's idea to roll this into a track anyway.  He also says about that airbrushed tee...he got his wife's permission first.  Supposedly. (read from bottom up).

But, not so fast.  As usual, Kanye is saying one thing while the other person he's involving calls him out for lying.  Taylor Swift's rep posted this statement last night explaining what ACTUALLY happened and said Taylor in no way co-signed his lyrics:

 

FYI re Kanye/Taylor/"Famous" aka mom and dad broke up again

A photo posted by joncaramanica (@joncaramanica) on Feb 11, 2016 at 9:37pm PST

Still, Kanye didn't stop there.  He went on about "they" wanting to control us with perception and money...and two tweets later he says he wants to be Creative Director of Hermes.  HERMES.  The fashion house that is literally the epitome of money and perception...and Kanye wants to be in control of it. 

The king of creating his own hype strikes again.  He often contradicts himself in the same breath and seemingly uses it as leverage to manipulate folks into getting them to do whatever he wants.

Maybe he is a genius afterall...

We’ve got a round up of candids that include Wiz Khalifa on daddy duty with his son Sebastian, Nelly& his girlfriend Miss Jackson touching down in L.A. and Joseline Hernandez shopping it up for Valentine’s Day. Pics inside….

Wiz Khalifa dropped his new Khalifa albumlast week, which means he’s gearing up to travel all over to promote his new musical offering. Even with a packed schedule, he still makes time for his son Sebastian.

Now that the dust as settled after his Twitter beef with Kanye West, he can focus on more important things. While Bash's mom Amber Rose twerks and parties in Trinidad and Tobago with her bestie Blac Chyna, Wiz and Bash enjoyed a father-son day hanging out in West Hollywood recently.

The Taylor Gang honcho held his baby boy as they made their way to a waiting vehicle. And Bash looked like he wasn't having it.

Hey Bash!

Touching down in L.A....

It's about to go down in Hollywood this weekend as many pre-Grammy parties will be popping up all over the city. And Nelly, along with his girlfriend Shantel "Miss Jackson" Jackson, are ready for some fun. The lovebirds jetted to L.A. before all the festivities begin.

Both decked out in sweats, Miss Jackson was all smiles as she and the "Country Grammar" rapper exited the airport. We're sure we'll be seeing more of these two on the scene this weekend.

Also on the west coast....

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez is getting ready for Valentine’s Day. And she had a whole camera crew in tow to film her buying gifts for her loved ones.

Hmmm…we wonder if she copped a gift for her “husband” Stevie J. They supposedly broke up...AGAIN. Stevie J called her a “hoe” on social media after flicks of Rick Ross and Joseline surfaced where Rozay’s hand was all up her thigh. But, with their given track record, they’ll likely make up in a few weeks (or days) and act as if all is right with the world.

The self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess squeezed into the tightest white bodycon dress she could find for her shopping excursion and paired it with a pair of strappy knee-high sandals. Wonder how her feet were feeling afterwards.

If she and Stevie really did break up, we're sure they will likely run into each other in L.A. this weekend since it's about to be LIT. Let's hope they behave.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, President Barack Obama is spreading the love with a saucy message to his wife First Lady Michelle Obama on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

Check it inside…

President Barack Obama has jetted from the east coast to the west coast to attend a few Democratic Party events in L.A. But before he got to business, he stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to chop it up with the comedienne about Valentine’s Day, his daughters and more.

Unfortunately, POTUS and First Lady Michelle Obama are going to be apart this Valentine’s Day (their last one during his presidency). So, Ellen had FLOTUS make a surprise V-Day poem for her husband that was played during his segment. FLOTUS started off saying,

“Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the president and I am your boo!”

Ha!

Well, POTUS had his own poem and love ode to his wife of 23+ years. President O said he was going to deliver the poem to her, but instead, stood in the front of the talk show audience (and America) and professed his love for his health concious wife. He started,

“Somebody call the Situation Room because things are about to get hot!” Ow!! Ok POTUS!

He continues,

“Michelle, this Valentine’s Day I’m going to treat you right. I’m going to make you some zucchini bread. Then I’ll spread out some veggies on a plate just the way you like them.”

President O came with more laughs saying,

"Then I'm going to give you a massage while you watch Ellen's Design Challenge on HGTV. Because I love you so much I Obamacare about you more than you even know. That's right, Obamacares." Hilar!

Then he gets serious and spills his heart out:

“Michelle, I’ve made a lot of great decisions as president. The best decision I ever made was choosing you. Thanks for putting up with me. I love you.”

Aww!!! *tear*

Check it:

Later, he talks about his 17-year-old daughter Malia Obama gearing up for college (“She’s just a really smart, capable person and she’s ready to make her own way.”), supporting the LGBT community (“It’s one of the things I’m proudest of.”) and more. Peep the clips below:

After appearing on Ellen, President Obama attended a few fundraiser events in L.A. and then enjoyed an off-the-schedule private dinner with a few of his supporters. He linked up with Concussion star Will Smith, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and Disney chairman Alan Horn at the Westside hotel for a relaxed dinner kick-back with friends.

To be a fly on the wall…

In movie news, Southside With You, the film that will chronicle the first date between Barack Obama and Michelle LaVaughn Robinson before they hit the White House, is near closing with Miramax and Roadside Attractions in a North American rights deal around $2 million, according to Deadline. In case you missed, check out the first trailer HERE.

The plan is to have it released by the Summer. Who's excited?!

Aye! The American Heart Association held its annual Go Red For Women Red Dress collection fashion show during NYFW. And it brought out a few of our fave YBFers who sang, modeled and DABBED on ‘em down the runway! Peep pics of Monica, Serayah, Misty Copeland, Tamron Hall and more inside…

We’re saying YASSS to all the red dresses!

Last night, The American Heart Association held its annual Go Red For Women Red Dress collection at The Arc, Skylight during New York Fashion Week. And it was much more than your average fashion show. We'll get to the runway pics in a sec, but first let’s check out the red carpet….

CODE RED singer Monica glammed it up in a strapless red, black and white Dennis Basso gown to work the runway and perform for the fashion show. She's strutting her stuff and flexing her vocals to help raise awareness for heart disease.

“TODAY” show co-host Tamron Hall was also tapped to strut down the runway. The TV personality worked the runway in a Marc Bouwer gown in honor of her Aunt Josephine. On Twitter, she commented,“Her spirit gave me confidence tonight. We can save lives!”

"Empire" stars Serayah and Ta'Rhonda Jones were turning heads in cut-outs and funky designs. Serayah went for a more modest look in a Reem Acra gown, while Ta'Rhonda turned it up a notch with her daring dress designed by Conrad Booker.

WNBA baller Skylar Diggins made a slam dunk on the red carpet. Not her basketball skills, but how fabulous she looks in her red Michael Costello silk gown.

On the runway...

DAB ON 'EM!

Texas native Tamron had the runway lit after she strolled down the catwalk.  She said her friends dared her to Dab…and she did! Not mad!

R&B singer Monica serenaded the audience with her powerful vocals as she worked the runway. 

Prima ballerina Misty Copeland was on POINTE as usual!

The gorgeous principal dancer flossed in a sexy strapless David Meister gown.

The "Empire" gals were front and center:

Ta'Rhonda showed off her eccentric gown as she strutted her stuff down the carpet. She also shaved a heartbeat in her hair to show her support.

Work Serayah!

WNBA star Skylar showed off her guns during the final walk-through. Strong AND beautiful!

After the show, the ladies made their rounds, snapping selfies and chopping it up with one another: 

Former "The Nanny" star Fran Drescher was in the mix and walked the runway.

"The View" co-host Cameron Candace Bure came out to support the cause.

"Empire" love.

Tamron and Skylar were perfecting their selfie game before and after the show: 

FAB times!

Beyonce and Mariah Carey linked up for a pop diva photo-op at a charity event. Jennifer Hudson, Danielle Brookes and the “Color Purple” cast celebrated the upcoming release of the Broadway show’s soundtrack. And Meagan Good stepped out to support her sister La’Myia Good’s new deal. More inside…

Beyonce and Mariah Carey bumped into each other at the Heartview Global Foundation gala in L.A. Thursday night. The two international divas came out to support businessmen Jonathan Schwartz, who was honored at the event that raised funds for heart-disease research.

The “Formation” singer looked angelic rocking a white dress and white cape across her shoulders. MC kept with her usual glam in a blush sequin dress. We hear Mariah was busy showing off her engagement ring from her billionaire fiancé James Packer.

Bey was there to support the cause and for one of her new artists. Parkwood Entertainment artist Sophie Beem hit the stage to perform at the event. The "Flawless" singer signed the 16-year-old singer-songwriter last year. Sophie couldn't have a better person looking after her career.

Bey continued making her rounds and we noticed in every shot she's covering her stomach. We're not making an assumptions, just pointing out the obvious....

In NYC:

“The Color Purple” cast as been selling out shows and wowing audiences and since the Broadway revival returned in December. Now, a new soundtrack is on the way.

Grammy & Oscar Award winner Jennifer Hudson (Shug Avery), “Orange Is The New Black” star Danielle Brooks (Sofia) and their co-star Cynthia Erivo (Celie) stepped out to celebrate the show's soundtrack. Chick is coming for that TONY!

The cast hosted a listening party at the W New York – Times Square hotel in NYC to preview it all.

Comfy and cute.

All three ladies flexed their vocals on the soulful soundtrack.

We see Danielle is getting snatched these days. Lookin' good! We love her bubbly personality and her "OITNB" character Taystee is hilarious.

Serve those abs Cynthia!

"The Color Purple" soundtrack drops February 19th.

Back in L.A.:

“Code Black” starlet Meagan Good was on the L.A. scene to support her sister La’Myia Good at a pre-Grammy event. Family and friends gathered to celebrate La’Myia inking a deal as the new ambassador for fragrance company 1st Femme. The company also launched a new signature fragrance during the event.

Meagan was casually cute in her distressed jeans, white blouse and heels. 

La’Myia’s husband and singer Eric Bellinger, who recently dropped a new EP titled Eventually, came out to support his wife. #BlackLove.

Meagan's hubby DeVon Franklin showed love to his sister-in-law on her big night. The proucer/preacher and his wife have been busy on the promo trail for their new relationship book "The Wait." It's available now.

Tank's girlfriend Zena Foster was all smiles with the lady of the hour.

Nicki Minaj's ex-boo Safaree Samuels popped up at the event.

Recording artist CeeLo Green was in the building.

"Marriage Bootcamp" star Sundy Carter (right) looked nice. She looks like a different person with her body transformation.  Are we feelin' her friend's look?

Rihanna debuted her FENTY x PUMA collection during New York Fashion Week yesterday. Take a peek at her new line and flicks from the carpet inside....

Rihanna can now add fashion designer to her resume after wrapping up her very first fashion show. The Pop princess presented her FENTY x PUMA collection during New York Fashion Week yesterday with a collection of new pieces heavily inspired by her own style.

Before the show, the “Work” singer hit the black carpet rocking a few pieces from her collection, of course. She posed it up in a black lace dress topped with a black hooded coat and black platform shoes.

RiRi’s new collection is a streetwear/ Japanese street culture inspired line with a goth undertone. The Bajan beauty said she chose to design her collection using basic colors, like black, white, gray, to show off sporty silhouettes while using contrasting fabrics for a fun, sporty vibe.

Rih called up supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid to lead the runway rocking her new designs. She frosted the ladies’ hair giving a winter wonderland vibe, but mixes it up with the dark gothic makeup and black clothing.

It’s cold outside, but Janelle Monae and Sevyn Streeter are turning up the heat. Peep their red hot carpet arrivals at the Billboard Power 100 party and Naomi Campbell’s new magazine cover inside….

When it comes to slayage, Janelle Monae has a degree or two in the art. She’s constantly hitting up red carpet events where she’s easily best dressed. And last night was no different.

The WONDLAND honcho hit the carpet at Billboard’s Power 100 celebration held at the Bouchon Beverly Hills serving an uber fab and chic look. Janelle, who is featured in a new Pepsi ad, worked the carpet in a red tailored suit, a crisp white button up and red hot sandals. She finished her look with a colorful square clutch.

Two of her WONDALAND artists, Jidenna and Roman Gianarthur, have been nominated for their first Grammy in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category for "Classic Man." Nice!

Also turning heads in red, R&B songbird and Grammy winner Sevyn Streeter showed off her curves (and her new tatt on her chest) in a cut-out midi dress. She has been hard at work in the studio working on her sophomore album. She won a GRAMMY in 2011 for her writing credits on Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. album.

Looking good Sevyn!

"American Crime" hottie Trevor Jackson opted to wear a shorts suit to the occasion. Hmm...

Soulful songstress Andra Day was all smiles on the carpet. She's gearing up to perform at Hillary Clinton's campaign "I'm With Her" concert at Radio City Music Hall on March 2nd.

Legendary recording artist George Clinton -- rocking a more clean cut look -- came out to party with a lady friend. If things work in his favor, he'll nab his very first GRAMMY if Kendrick Lamar wins for his album To Pimp A Butterfly. K-Dot and the funk icon collaborated on the track “Wesley's Theory."

BET's President of Programming Stephen Hill was also in the mix.

Fun times!

On the magazine circuit....

Runway slayer and model chick Naomi Campbell graces the March 2016 cover of Allure magazine. Naomi is a vet in the game and continues to bring it with every new cover and spread.

Inside, the 45-year-old model opens up about the models of today in comparison to the models back in her heyday (which is still technically happening). She points out that work ethic and the technology driven world are two factors that contribute to the huge differences. She said,

“From what I understand, the era of supermodels is now in again. But this is a different time. It's a different work ethic. I think social media really just changed it."

She added,

“It's the way the new pop culture is and what's happening in the world."

But don’t think she’s jealous. She’s content with her legacy and when she entered into the fashion world. She said, "I'm grateful for my timing and the way it worked. I wouldn't want to change it for the world."

You can check out the rest of her interview here.

Take a peek at Naomi strolling down memory lane looking back at her Allure cover from 25 years ago! Check it:

Rihanna to the rescue! While heading inside the club for a night of partying with Tyga, Kylie Jenner & Scott Disick after her big fashion show last night, RiRi saved her friend from an epic spill! Meanwhile, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted hitting up a Broadway play. Pics inside…

After wrapping up a successful presentation of her FENTY x PUMA collection, Rihanna hit the town with her friends for a night of fun.

The “Work” singer and her friends linked up with rapper Tyga, his girlfriend Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy Scott Disick to live it up at Up and Down nightclub.

As they made their way inside….

THIS happened! Looks like Rih's bestie Jenn Rosales lost her balance, tripped up and stumbled as they made their entrance.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had already started sippin' on some things before arriving.

Luckily for Jenn, Rih was holding on to her hand tightly and saved her from falling all the way out. Friends don't let friends look at hot ass mess in front of the cameras....

Tyga hit up Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 show then he and girlfriend Kylie and Scott hit the club together.

Elsewhere....

After debuting his Yeezy Season 3 collection and his new album The Life Of Pablo, Ye and his wife Kim enjoyed a date night last night.

The twosome, both dressed rather...homely...hit up the sold out Broadway musical “Hamilton.” Kim is still rocking her platinum blonde wig that she wore at her husband’s NYFW show yesterday.

'Ye definitely picked out both of their outfits.  Why son, why?

Yesterday was a huge day for Drake as he was awarded the key of Toronto AND he and his celeb squad beat Kevin Hart and Team USA in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Peep the funny flicks and videos inside…

Yesterday was all fun and games for Young Money rapper Drake.

Before getting to his coaching duties, the Toronto native, looking dapper as ever dressed in a suit, was awarded the key to his hometown. Mayor John Tory presented Drizzy with the key to the city before the All-Star Celebrity Game held at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto.

When accepting the honor, he said,

"This is probably one of the biggest moments of my life if not the biggest moment of my life. I just want to say thank you to a city that is unconditionally supportive."

Afterwards, the celebrity basketball game kicked off between Team USA and Team Canada:

Drizzy and Kevin cut up on the sidelines, "coaching" their teams in hopes for a win.

Team USA team includedCREED star Michael B. Jordan, “black•ish” star Anthony Anderson, “Empire” star Bryshere "Yazz" Gray, “America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon, RACE star Jason Sudeikis, five-time NBA All-Star and ESPN analyst Chauncey Billups, NBA legend Muggsy Bogues, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, and WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne of the Chicago Sky.

Team Canada comprised of RACE star Stephan James, seven-time NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady, former NBA baller and NBA TV analyst Rick Fox, “Property Brothers” stars Drew and Jonathan Scott, Arcade Fire's Win Butler, professional tennis player Milos Raonic and Natalie Achonwa of the Indiana Fever.

While the Ride Along 2 star normally plays in the celebrity game, this year he claimed he "retired" and was tapped to coach. And as you can see, he was serious about his coaching position. Look how he was yelling at Anthony Anderson.

Check out this clip of Kevin going HAM on the sidelines below:

NBA lover and famed director Spike Lee was front-and-center for the festivities.

Towards the end of the game, Kevin changed into a basketball uniform and jumped in the game trying to help seal the win. Ha!

But, his efforts fell short of the win. Team Canada beat Team USA with a final score of 74-64. Team Canada player Win Butler was named the MVP.

There was plenty of trash talk before AND after the game. Peep the videos below:

As for the celebs in the stands, NY Giants baller Odell Beckham Jr. and Cleveland Cavaliers baller LeBron James came out to check out the celebrity match-up:

Also hitting the Toronto streets:

Fresh from a visit to the White House, LaLa Anthony slipped into this sexy LBD and Tom Ford heels to make her rounds at All-Star Weekend.

Slay!

After the game:

LeBron linked up with his homies Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Ludacris for the after party festivities.

"Being Mary Jane" star Gabrielle Union was also in the mix for the fun night out.

And the Anthonys posed it up together for the 'gram. Cute.  By the way, Carmelo was just named a VP of the Player's Association.

As for the big game on Sunday, Drizzy revealed he's doing the player introductions with a special twist:

When Kanye West isn't screaming about "the culture" being muted and usurped by corporate vultures....he's selling to them his own $300+ hole-y shirts, dresses and pants.  And begging Hermes to be its creative director.  We've got everything that went down inside the Yeezus Season 3 show inside...

Nope, it wasn't a cult recruitment meeting.  It was Kanye's Yeezus Season 3 collection debut and his The Life of Pablo listening event at Madison Square Garden.

While Kanye riled up the sheep masses in attendance (and those watching from afar) by claiming corporations are out to mute him and the culture so everyone needs to rise up against the evil Nike and the sort, he offered alternatives -- his own high priced gear and music.  Well, the rile-up-with-half-truths-and-make-yourself-the-hypocritical-savior tactic apparently is working for Trump.  So why not 'Ye?

For what it's worth, we do like what we've heard of TLOP so far.

Plenty of folks on social media and even some editors (Anna Wintour) were salivating over the circus of Kardashian-Jenners, furs, stark white Balmain clothing, dark refugee-inspired clothing, a Naomi sighting and glorious music.

There were other folks, though, who had a different take.  A writer at NY Mag said in an article after the show:

Today I went to that Fuccboi Heaven, otherwise known as Madison Square Garden, where Kanye West debuted his collection for Yeezy Season 3 and played all the songs from his yet-to-be-dropped album. A blessed event, indeed. And I stood on the floor among the fuccbois in their hypebeast garments, Supreme hats, perfectly positioned knit beanies, Thrasher hoodies, and limited-edition this and thats. I swayed and bopped with them as they listened to Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, as they praised his genius, brilliance, and fire tracks (not really the clothes). I got the contact high of the fuccboiphoria they felt from being among the first 20,000 people (by Yeezy’s estimate) to hear TLOP and buy merch that nobody else can get — the highest of highs.

In Fuccboi Heaven, every Kardashian-Jenner, from Kris and Caitlyn down to North, is there to greet you at the pearly gates, wearing kustom white Balmain ensembles that Olivier Rousteing lovingly designed for them. (He’s there, too. In heaven, fuccbois can finally get some Balmain.) Archangel Naomi Campbell is there. As is Lamar Odom, because what heaven would ever leave Lamar Odom out in the cold. And Donda, she’s there, too, as an angel riding a Pegasus in video-game form. This is not something we question, because who questions miracles.

Damn.

Kanye has been tweeting nonstop since the event, and going on about how his collection and music has changed the world.  He's providing alleged proof that he's winning the fight against corporations.  He says Yeezy has, in fact, jumped over the jumpman by toting an article about Nike slipping in sales and Adidas gaining them.  (Aren't they both corporations, though, at the end of the day?)

So apparently, folks are starting to believe Kanye's self-created hype.  That's what Kanye claims.  If one says something enough, it can become true.  It has worked for plenty of rappers.  We guess...

As for the show, Kanye literally put "his family" on his back with his aurbrushed Donda and Robert Kardashian tee:

He responded to critics about it HERE.

Yeezy dressed the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan in custom gear.  Nope, not offshoots of the Yeezy collection itself.  But threads that were the fruit of a collabo with Balmain.  Kanye jetted to Paris a few weeks before the show to link up with Balmain's Creatve Director Olivier Rousteing to create a collabo mini-collection for the family.  Here's what transpired:

We're not sure if 'Ye had just watched that Versace Lifetime movie or what, but this is giving us Donatella vibes all day long.  And yes, Lamar Odom rose from his medical bed and jetted across the country to take in the fashion show with his "estranged" wife Khloe.

He even walked in with Kanye to show brother-in-law solidarity.  Or whatever.

Even Caitlyn got her custom creation...which made her and daughter Kendall twinsies.

Olivier was obviously proud of his work for his "besties".

Little Nori was ready for the scene...fur and all...as she made her entrance with her mom and aunts.

Lil Kim was there and snapped pics with Caitlyn:

There are so many "Who has more ____?" type questions in our heads....but we'll keep them to ourselves.

Khloe and Lamar picked up where they left off as husband and wife:

Ye's rapper friends were also in the mix:

He snapped pics with Kim and ASAP.

Jay Z came out to support.  And looked a little confused.

Kerry Washington is nailing it as Anita Hill, down to the lipstick, in the first major trailer for the upcoming HBO movie Confirmation. We've got it inside, plus the first trailer for the upcoming series "Roots."

Attorney Anita Hill's famous/infamous story is getting the HBO treatment.  With Wendell Pierce as Clarence Thomas and Kerry Washington as Yale Law grad Ms. Hill herself, we will relive the time where workplace sexual harassment first became a topic of discussion.  It all started with the then attorney-adviser/assistant's testimony during Thomas' Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

The process was long and dirty, to say the least, especially when it came to the attacks on Anita Hill once she came forward about the sexual harassment she says she endured while working for Clarence Thomas.

The hearings introduced all types of discussions involving sexism, the definition of harassment in the workplace, and the blatant advantages men of a certain stature often receive.

Check out the first trailer for "Confirmation," a tv movie based off the Anita Hill documentary, below:

The movie also stars Jenifer Hudson, Greg Kinnear as Joe Biden, and Jeffrey Wright.  It premieres April 16th on HBO.

In other tv news, the first trailer for the "Roots" miniseries is here.

In a four-night, eight-hour event series, premiering Memorial Day weekend, a new generation will experience the "Roots" anthology via a new story re-telling.  The story will paint a historical portrait of American slavery, focusing on the journey of one family and their will to survive and to carry on their legacy despite hardship.

Questlove is serving as executive music producer.

The series will air across several networks: History channel, Lifetime, A+E.  Check out the powerful first trailer above.

New York Fashion Week is kicked into gear and we’ve got a round up of candids of a few YBFers hitting the scene. Check out flicks of a few YBF kiddies hitting the runway, Jennifer Hudson, Serayah, June Ambrose and more on the front row inside…

This warms our hearts!

Cutie Leah Still, daughter of NFLer Devon Still, is cancer free and enjoying life like any other 5-year-old. The courageous young lady hit the runway at Nike/Levi's Kids Rock! Fall 2016 fashion show held at the The Dock, Skylight at Moynihan Station during NYFW.

Leah trekked down the runway with two other cuties rocking some cute Nike kids’ designs. The little cancer survivor walked in the show last year while she was still battling cancer. But, she’s now cancer free and living life like a normal kid. Go Leah!

Superproducer Swizz Beatz’s son Kasseem Dean Jr. made his dad proud as he held his own on the runway. .

For some entertainment, R&B singer Justine Skye rocked the mic during the kiddie fashion show.

At another presentation...

“Color Purple” Broadway star Jennifer Hudson made her way to the Cushnie Et Ochs Fall 2016 show to check out the designers’ newest designs. Before taking her seat on the front row, she snapped it up with the designers, Michelle Ochs and Carly Cushnie.

JHud was front-row ready alongside writer Leandre Medine, “Empire” star Serayah, actress Jamie King and designer Alana Hadid (Gigg & Bella Hadid’s sister).

The "Empire" star and singer was sure to make a statement in her white fur coat. 

Elsewhere....

"The Real" co-host Adrienne Bailon was all about a funky print at the Desigual fashion show. She struck a pose before hitting the front row: 

Adrienne snapped a few pics of pieces that caught her eye.

After that show...

The TV personality chaged into an all-black ensemble to attend the Jay Godfrey Fall 2016 show held at The Space, Skylight at Clarkson Square. It was a modest choice, but chic nonetheless. 

Work! Journalist Alicia Quarles posed it up in a fierce lace Jay Godfrey top and trousers.

At another NYFW show...

YAS! Celebrity stylist June Ambrose continues her NYFW rounds...and fabulously so. The fashionista hit up the Clear By Kai Milla Fall 2016 Presentation held at Lori Bookstein Fine Art. LOVE her fut hat and vest!

Later, she linked up with fashion director Ken Downing at the BCBGMAXAZRIA show. We're obsessed with that fur vest.

Alicia was also in the mix at the BCBGMAXAZRIA show. Hmm...can't say we're feeling this look. 

At another show...

Cutie Diggy Simmons stopped to snap a few pics backstage at the Kye Fall 2016 fashion show. Not to sound like a creep, but he'll be turning 21 next month.

Ciara and boyfriend Russell Wilson are on the move again!  After taking over the Ralph Lauren show at New York Fashion Week on Friday, the couple jetted to L.A. for the pre-Grammy festivities.

Get all their sexy coupledom inside, plus what Ciara now says about that celibacy pact of theirs....

In a super sexy Charbel Zoe Couture sparkling gold gown, Ciara was front and center on the arm of boyfriend Russell Wilson Saturday night:

The cute twosome hit up were headed out to the Seahawks QB's Pre-Grammy party he hosted with LL Cool J.  Ciara apparently said she needed to let everybody at that party know she's that chick....and she succeeded with this dress.

The couple had just rolled in to L.A. late Friday night into Saturday after jetting in from NYC.  They were in New York for Fashion Week where Ciara had a few jobs -- to perform for the KEDS 100-year-anniversary and Ladies' First event and to hit up the Ralph Lauren presentation:

The denim duo looked perfectly in sync.

And fit right in with the models during the show.  Werk!

Before they left out to catch heir flight to LAX, Russell let the world know he's super proud of his girl:

 

All mine.

And she's all his.  Get it!

 

He Caught My Attention...

Cute.

But, regardless of how hot and heavy CiCi and Russ sound, they're still keeping their relationship sexless.  For now.

They're holding strong to their celibacy pact, but the "I Bet" singer just recently told Cosmopolitan magazine it's harder than ever to keep it.

The twosome are ten months into their relationship, and we've watched them grow closer and closer.  Ciara says yeah, not having sex is just as hard as it looks.  When the mag asked her at last week's KEDS event how the abstinence pact was going, she said:

"It's going pretty good. We're hanging in there. I'm not gonna lie. I'm human, so it is not easy, especially when I look at him and I think he is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen — that I've ever laid my eyes on, to be honest. I'm like, Look the other way! Look the other way!"

Whew. Stay strong girl.  The good side about having a celibate relationship?  CiCi says:

"...He's such an awesome guy and the cool thing is that every day, we're growing with each other. We get to have really healthy conversations and focus on each other as people. That is very important to me and him. It's very valuable. We're just enjoying ourselves and going one day at a time and praying and staying positive. Being strong here!"

By the way, yes, they still hug and kiss and do those first (maybe second) base type things:

"You get to hug and you get to have a nice good kiss, but you have to be careful not to go too far so you don't end up in the place you're trying to avoid being in. Strong, strong, strong, strong! Just the strongest resistance to temptation."

Girl...our thoughts and prayers are with you....

The Alexander Wang show brought out a few of our fave YBF chicks. Taraji P. Henson, Solange, Zoe Kravitz and Amandla Stenberg made their presence known during the NYFW presentation. Tyga and his girlfriend Kylie Jenner were also in the mix. Pics inside….

Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson took a break from filming “Empire” in Chicago to have some fun at New York Fashion. The 45-year-old actress made her way to the Alexander Wang Fall 2016 fashion show in a black and white embroidered dress with a checkerboard jacket to top off her look.  Not our fave look, but we love T's confidence.

Better without the jacket?

Oh...and look who tagged along:

Her rumored boo Kelvin Hayden wasn't far behind. Mmmhmm...

In new movie news, the “Empire” star has just nabbed a role as famed NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson for the film titled Hidden Figures. The film is based on the story about a team of African-American women who provided NASA with important mathematical data needed to launch the program's first successful space missions.

The film is still in its early development stage, but we’ll keep you posted.  Based on this synopsis, we’re already here for the #BlackGirlMagic that will exude from the project.

Speaking of #BlackGirlMagic...

Solange, Zoe Kravitz and Amandla Stenberg round out this trifecta of black girls slaying NYFW. We love al three of these free-spirited ladies who dance to the beat of their own drum and don’t mind speaking their minds on controversial issues.

Gorge.

On the front row....

Taraji and Zoe were all smiles as they bonded over girl talk.

And they snapped a cute selfie for the 'gram.

After partying with Rihanna and co., Tyga and Kylie hit up the show together.

The couple sat next to Taraji on the front row: 

As the models showed off Alexander Wang's newest fall designs, it appears everyone was into it...except T-Raww:

Looks like Solo found something that caught her eye as well.

Check out this clip below of Taraji and Zoe gushing over Alexander Wang's new collection below:

Kanye West dropped hisalbum The Life of Pablo late last night -- a couple days after the plan to do so -- during his "SNL" performances.  Watch him bring out the unlikeliest folks to help him rock the stage inside...

After yet another lengthy Twitter speech last night (we only understood half of it), 'Ye burst onto the "SNL" stage minutes later at 30 Rock to promote his latest album.

After talking about the P standing for Paul (even though the album is currently being sold and streamed on TIDAL as The Life of Pablo and Pablo is the spanish name for Paul) and how he himself relates to the apostle, and 'Ye also claiming his "brothers" are $53 million in personal debt (whet?), the rapper performed a few tracks off the album.

He brought out everybody.  And a few totally unexpected characters.  While Chance The Rapper is listed as a feature on "Ultra Light Beams," we weren't expecting everyone from Kirk Franklin and El Debarge to Young Thug to be on the stage too.

Check out "Ultra Light Beams" with Chance The Rapper and more below:

At the beginning of the track, he used the voice of the little girl who went viral for giving blessings and preaching a mini sermon to a family member/friend in the car.

Check out 'Ye's performance of "Highlights" with a gospel choir, Kirk Franklin, Young Thug, El Debarge, A$AP Bari, Kelly Price & The Dream:

P.S. There's a line about Blac Chyna sexing Rob Kardashian and another about he and Ray J "loving the same b*tch".  Yep!

“Me and Ray J would be friends if we ain’t love the same bitch. Yeah, he hit it first, but the only difference is I’m rich.”

Kanye later raps,“Blac Chyna f***ing Rob to help him with the weight.”

The husband of Kim Kardashian West made a surprise appearance in a sketch as well during the show, which was hosted by actress Melissa McCarthy.  "SNL" star Kyle Mooney challenged Kanye to a rap battle in a bid to return to his hip-hop roots. 

Here's what happened:

BONUS: Check out 'Ye's promo pics that he decided to mainly snap with rapper Young Thug and a few more performance shots:

Kendrick Lamar just received a MAJOR key. Literally. The west coast rapper was awarded the key to his hometown of Compton. And Mayor Aja Brown fired off a shot at Drake during the ceremony. More inside…

Major key alert!

Grammy Award winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who’s up for 11 nominations for Monday's awards show, has plenty to celebrate after a fabulous day in the city he grew up in.

Standing in front of the Martin Luther King Monument at Civic Center Plaza, (photographed by Mya Singleton, music writer for Hollywood Unlocked), K Dot was presented with his very own key to Compton by Mayor Aja Brown yesterday.

During her introduction, Mayor Brown quoted a few lyrics from K Dot’s "Alright" track before gushing over his accomplishments and praising him for being a good influence to the younger generation.

Then, things took an awkward turm when Mayor Brown fired off a shot a Drake saying Kendrick’s key is BETTER than Drizzy’s key. Drake received the key to Toronto on Friday.

Well alright.

Before accepting the award, the ceremony was kicked off by performances from a few Compton kiddies, dancing it up to his tracks, “i” and “Alright.” Rapper YG, also a Compton native, was also in the crowd to show his support.

After accepting the key, Kendrick took the podium to reflect on what it was like growing up in Compton and to revel in the moment. He said,“Looking around as a kid, I was fascinated knowing that it doesn’t stop right here. Being 5 years-old, I knew for a fact that I could be anything I wanted to be. And coming back here today and seeing these kids out here, we share the same similar stories."

He continued,"And having this key to the city, it’s just not a representation or glorification that I have for Compton. It’s a representation of all of us. This is a representation of us opening more programs for these kids and opening more job opportunities. That’s how I’m looking at it from my own platform.”

Sweet!

Afterwards, he stopped to snap pics with fans:

Kanye West’s longtime friend and co-writer Rhymefest is speaking out saying Ye is in desperate need of counseling. He says his spirit isn’t right and he needs help. Get the tea inside, plus how Lil Kim tries to explain why she heavily lightens her Instagram pics inside….

If you’ve been keeping up with Kanye West and his Twitter "speeches,", then you know many of his tweets hardly make any sense. He goes from one idea to the next, recklessly saying any and everything. Usually contradicting himself from tweet to tweet. 

While most assumed he was just doing the most for album sales, one of his closest friends has revealed he believes it's something more.

Che "Rhymefest" Smith is a longtime friend of Kanye's and songwriter who has many accolades under his belt --He's a Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe winner. He has been quite instrumental in Kanye’s career, co-writing hits “Jesus Walks” and “Black Skinhead,” and he also co-wrote the Oscar winning SELMA track “Glory,” performed by Common and John Legend.

Rhymefest is now speaking out and is concerned about his friend Kanye West.

After Ye unveiled his Yeezy Season 3 collection and previewed his new album The Life Of Pablo, the 38-year-old Chi-town native took to his Twitter page to respond to a few concerned fans about Kanye’s latest musical offering. One fan begged Rhymefest to reunite with the “Heartless” rapper, but Rhymefest wants no parts of it. He said Ye needs HELP and that his mind and spirit isn’t right. He tweeted:

Rhymefest also revealed he stopped working with the "All Day" rapper last month and he's not salty about it. He said there's still brotherly love between the two, he just wants his friend to get some help. He tweeted:

As for him spilling the tea on social media and not addressing Ye personally, he already tried that:

Well, can't say this would be the first time we heard this from someone close to Kanye. But when those true friends of his speak up, they're shot down as haters who simply don't understand his "growth." 

Hmph.

In other celebs talkin' ish news....

Lil Kim is clapping back at the Instagram trolls who were dragging her on socila media over lightening a picture she posted.

Kimmy was in attendance for the Yeezy Season 3 show and she snapped a few flicks with Ye’s wife Kim. She hopped on IG to share the same photo Kim shared, but she added a filter that made her look much lighter than her actual skin color. Which she actually does quite often, sparking much talk in her comment section about skin whitening and the like.

Fans noticed how different Kim’s picture looked in comparison to Kim’s and started to go in. So, she attempted to explain WHY her photo was so light saying she likes the way the filter makes her make up pop. Check out what she posted (and deleted) above.

Kim then took another photo, threw another heavy filter on it to lightened up and captioned, "ITS IG PPL ! Not a photography reality contestant show LIGHTEN UP !"

Should folks cut her some slack?

Misty Copleand recreates a set of iconic paintings by Edgar Degas where she brings the photos to life with a modern twist. Check out the spread and get deets on Russell Westbrook continuing to build his fashion empire with Tim Coppens and Barneys inside….

Prima ballerina Misty Copeland constantly amazes us and she continues to do so with a new shoot recreating a few iconic paintings.

The principal dancer struck a few signature ballet poses to recreate some of 19th century French artist Edgar Degas’ famous works.

Why this particular artist?

Edgar was known for creating paintings and sculptures that studied the art of dance. More than half of his famous paintings and sculptures depicting dancers. And who better to recreate them than Misty!

For the March 2016 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, the 33-year-old, who became the first African-American woman to be named a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, twirled, leaped and posed in high-end fashions to capture the same moments Edgar created hundreds of years ago.

"It was interesting to be on a shoot and to not have the freedom to just create like I normally do with my body," said Misty. "Trying to re-create what Degas did was really difficult. It was amazing just to notice all of the small details but also how he still allows you to feel like there's movement. That's what I think is so beautiful and difficult about dance too. You're trying to strive for this perfection, but you still want people to get that illusion that your line never ends and that you never stop moving."

Going from poverty and living in a welfare motel with her mom and five siblings to becoming a history making ballerina, Misty credits ballet for saving her life.

"Before dance came into my life, I don't really remember having any major goals or dreams of wanting to be anything,” she said. “In the environment I grew up in, we were constantly in survival mode. I went to school, and I was really just trying to fit in and not be seen. But ballet was this thing that just felt so innate in me, like I was meant to be doing this."

We're glad she didn’t miss her calling because she’s certainly an inspiration to little brown girls everywhere. While she has gained much notoriety for her accomplishment, she’s not too keen on being a celebrity.

"I was drawn to ballet and performing for a reason that I think a lot of people can't really understand or relate to," she said. "People think it's like, 'You're out there,' or 'You're exposed.' But I felt safe when I was on the stage, like no one could get to me. It was the first time in my life that I felt protected.”

She continued, "So when all of the media and the attention that came along with me entering the ballet world arrived, that was not what I wanted. I take it all very lightly, in terms of people calling me a 'celebrity' and things like that. I think what I'm doing is showing people how incredible the arts can be for a child and how it's changed my life. I try not to get caught up in the other stuff, but I understand the importance of me doing it."

Yes to it all!

Check out the Edgar Degas inspired spread below where she ups the ante in high fashion from Alexander McQueen to Oscar de la Renta:
