Kev challenged Warriors baller Draymond Green to a three-point competition after talking ish on Twitter. He surprisingly tied him. Kinda.  Here's the hilarity that went down:

As for the actual 3-Point challenge:

Steph Curry ended up battling his teammate Klay Thompson in the final round...and lost.  Look at little Kiyan and daddy Carmelo looking on.  Cute.

The reigning 3-Point champ still cheered on his teammate though:

Check out Chris Paul Jr. and more YBF Kids getting their dunks on below:

The pros KILLED it in what is probably the best Slam Dunk contest in NBA All Star history.  Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine went back and forth with perfect scores and even ran out of dunks to do.

Their fellow ballers' reactions:

Blac Chyna was spotted in the freezing cold leaving Bloke Club in Toronto after hosting an All Star party last night.

There was an Extreme Cold Alert issued for Toronto as the temperature dropped below zero, but it didn't stop Blac Chyna from showing some major skin. Anything for that walk thru cash...

And earlier in the day yesterday, Steph Curry joined forces with WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne at the NBA Cares Special Olympics Unified Game in Toronto. Sweet!

Speaking of the WNBA:

 

Congrats to new President Lisa Borders!

It's Valentine's Night!  And before it's over for everyone, we've got the 10 most surprising hookups since the last Valentine's Day.  Get 'em inside...

We’ve got another round up of flicks of R&B singer Ciara and Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson serving black love at a private pre-Grammy dinner in L.A.

Grammy Award winning rapper LL Cool J, who will serve as this year’s host at the Grammy Awards, and Super Bowl champ Russell Wilson both hosted a private dinner with Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège at Ysabel in West Hollywood Saturday night.

CiCi and Russ jetted in from NYFW and went straight to eat and party with their celeb friends. The “I Bet” singer was oozing sexiness in a high slit Charbel Zoe Couture sparkling gold gown posing it up alongside her man.

Flawless. CiCi's gearing up to hit the road for another round of her JACKIE Tour, kicking off March 30th.  This relationship has done wonders for her career.  #NoShade

As they made their way down the carpet, the happy couple stopped to snap it up with LL and his lovely wife Simone Smith. Simone looked gorgeous in a yellow printed jumpsuit.

Looking good fellas.

 photo gol3.jpg

Looking gorge in a studded LBD, Grammy Award winning artist Mary J. Blige came out to enjoy the festivities.

Near the end of the night, LL made a toast to everyone in the room for continuing to push themselves to the limits of their potential. It only made sense as the evening honored the excellence and accomplishments of those within the music, entertainment and sports industries who "never stop, never settle."

Look who else was there....

Besos!

"Scream Queens" has been renewed for a 2nd season, but it's still unclear whether Keke will return. In music news, Keke is set to drop a new song and video for her track "Enemies" at the end of this month. We spotted her on the set of the new video treatment a few days ago. And she had a surprise guest pop up -- Ariana Grande.

Sheesh!  Angela Bassett may have been away from her hubby on Valentine's Day, but we hope she sent him some of these pics to remind him of a few things.  See the flicks of the "AHS" star slaying the British Academy Film & Television Awards red carpet Sunday night, plus Idris, Cuba and John Boyega keeping it dapper...

 photo AngelaBassettEEBritishAcademyFilmAwardshT0pN3k0ldHl_zpsw9yaanqu.jpg

YASSS!

Angela Bassett did not come to play, only to slay.  The 57-year-old film and TV star seems to be aging backwards these days.  Case in point: The wife of "The People vs. OJ Simpson" star Courtney B. Vance and mom of 10-year-old twins rocked this custom berry gown by couture designer Galia Lahav.  She topped off her look with a Maxior diamond ring and earrings and a Casa Reale diamond ring.

The actress flossed her stunning curves and flawlessly toned arms at London's Royal Opera House in this gown which fit like a glove.

She hit the press room during the show as well:

We're even loving her coat she rocked at the after party dinner at The Grosvenor House Hotel.  Perfect.

Also at the BAFTAs:

We're pretty much obsessed with Steph and Ayesha Curry's Dubsmash videos.  Now, they've wrangled in FLOTUS Michelle Obama to join them!  Get the video inside, plus Flex and Shanice partying it up with the rappers....

Before The Currys traveled back to Ayesha's hometown of Toronto this weekend for NBA AllStar 2016, they trekked it to Washington D.C. to chill with POTUS and FLOTUS at the White House.

After Stephen and the Warriors presented President Obama with his custom NBA Championship jersey, he and his wife shot the cutest video with Frst Lady Michelle.

In conjunction with FLOTUS' #TFNV (Team Fruit-N-Veggies) campaign for Let's Move, they shot a video about....bananas.  And it's glorious.

Loves them!

 

Back in Cali recently:

 photo FS1_zpsmmr8eyz6.png

The "Flex & Shanice" reality show stars (their show airs on OWN) took a night off from catering to umpteen members of their family to party it up a little.

The actor-comedian and powerhouse songstress had a rare date night last week and hit up Wiz Khalifa's listening party for his "Khalifa" album at Blind Dragon in West Hollywood.

 

 photo FS2_zpsqn8blzuv.png photo FS3_zps1atsvdu9.png

How adorable are they?!  The Alexanders had some fun with comedian Luenell, Bishop Don Juan and more.

Glad those two are getting out more...

By the way, the twosome just celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day!  Congrats!

Cutie North West is pushing through with her own NYFW looks! And she’s back on the scene styling in another fur coat.

It’s frigidly cold in NYC, so the tiny tot rocked a leopard print fur coat to keep warm. The two-year-old tot looked happy as pie as she trekked through NYC with her mom Kim Kardashian West yesterday. There's that adorable smile we love!

 photo wep4.jpg

 photo wep2.jpg

Little Nori had her phone on deck to snap anything that caught her eye. Or, maybe she was snapping selfies. Y'all know kids these days are so advanced.  And Nori probably picked up few selfie tips from her mama who is obsessed with taking them.

 photo wep1.jpg

As they made their way down the street, a silver charging bull sculpture caught Nori’s eye. And it looks like the West Family decided to dine at Cipriani Wall Street for Valentine's Day. 

Afterwards....

Kanye West was spotted entering and leaving the venue with his daughter and wife. He left Kim to hold North... in heels. Daddies...

R&B crooner Chris Brown is on the L.A. party scene this weekend, partying it up before he hits up the 58th Grammy Awards ceremony tonight. The “Loyal” singer is up for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration award for his contribution to Nicki’s Minaj’s “Only” track, also featuring Lil Wayne and Drake.

 photo tebr3.jpg

Rolling up in his red souped up Lamborghini with the suicide doors, Breezy made his way to KOI in West Hollywood to dine on some delectable Japanese eats on Valentine's Day. While V-Day is for lovers, Chris hung out with his homies yesterday.

The “Don’t Judge Me” singer has been heavy on the Hollywood scene lately with a budding bromance brewing between Chris and Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy Scott Disick.

New Yorkers and “LAHH” reality stars Yandy Smith and her artist Bianca Bonnie (aka Lil B) left the Big Apple and are in L.A. for the pre-Grammy festivities. The ladies rocked some super tight bodycon dresses. Yandy has decided to keep managing Lil B even with her hot temper.  We wonder if either of them has a purse-sized bottle of lotion in one of those clutches....

 photo Screen Shot 2016-02-15 at 9.02.00 PM.png

Yandy and Lil B ran into French and Yandy alluded to the two rappers getting in the studio and hopping on a track together. She posted on Instagram, "New MUSIC coming soon...it's all in the company you keep"

Down South...

While she’s normally hitting up NYFW shows by now, Angela Simmons swooped down in Atlanta yesterday to celebrate Valentine’s Day. She was tapped to host at the Grand opening of Medusa Lounge. Since she's a single lady these days (so she claims), she was all about her coin on the lover's day.

The fitness hottie pulled off a fierce look in a strapless WOW couture bandage dress with gold embellishments. Slay on Angela!

Kimora Lee Simmons’ Husband Tim Leissner Being Investigated By FBI Over Money Scandal + Chanel Iman Turns Heads In Lace & Thigh High Boots At NYFW

 photo kmhus.jpg

Kimora Lee Simmons’ husband Tim Leissner is currently involved in a money scandal that has forced him to take an absence of leave from his job. Oh? Get those deets and check out flicks of Chanel Iman heating up NYC inside….

While Kimora Lee Simmons presents art gallery presentation during NYFW, news broke that her husband Tim Leissner may be in hot water.

According to the NY Post, Tim Leissner, co-president of Goldman Sachs Singapore, is in the middle of being investigated by the FBI for an alleged multi-million dollar money scandal involving his investment firm. The FBI is now investigating a Malaysian state fund - 1Malaysia Development Berhad - Tim set up where his company was paid “sky-high commissions for bond sales.” Apparently, $681 million tied to the fund mysteriously turned up in the bank account of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. Oh?

The Post reports:

The FBI reportedly is investigating all the fund’s transactions in concert with wider probes of money-laundering allegations spanning five countries.

The sum of three bond sales for 1MDB back in 2012 and 2013, totaling as much as $6.5 billion, reportedly yielded fees, commissions and expenses for Goldman of almost $593 million, the equivalent of 9.1 percent of the money raised. The typical cut for an investment bank is about 5 percent.

“If it exceeds the limit Malaysia sets for investment managers of a fund, then Goldman will have to deal with some negative kickback from Malaysia,” said Dick Bove, a bank industry analyst at Rafferty Capital Markets.

“It is a known fact that there is a lot of fraud, and under-the-table stuff like that happens if you are a bank and want to get business done in foreign countries like Malaysia,” said one veteran regulator. Another person who has considered the Goldman case said with a wink that there may have been multiple “managers” feeding off Goldman’s lucrative Malaysian business — in effect, accepting kickbacks.

Yikes!

Tim has taken a leave of absence from his position and he is believed to be living in L.A., likely with Kimora and their kids. Let’s hope this all doesn’t blow up in his face.

In NYC....

Life of a supermodel.

Chanel Iman wrapped herself in lace and threw on her thigh-high boots to celebrate with fans at the Sports Illustrated Fan Festival in the Big Apple. It's cole outside in NYC, but Chanel kept it hot.

 photo ChanelImanSportsIllustratedSwimsuit2016cPaQt51s5h7l.jpg

After the festival, she headed inside to attend the Sports Illustrated's 2016 Swimsuit Edition event held at the Altman Building yesterday to celebrate her spread in the new issue.

While her boyfriend Jordan Clarkson attended the All Star Weekend festivities in Toronto, the Victoria’s Secret model was on the NYFW scene doing her model duties. Unfortunately, the twosome spent Valentine's Day apart, but we're sure they'll be doing plenty of making up soon.  (Editor's Note:After this story was published, Chanel's camp reached out to YBF to say Chanel and Jordan Clarkson are no longer in a relationship).

Inside, the DOPE star posed and snapped flicks with her Sports Illustrated model friend Gigi Hadid (who's also featured in the 2016 edition):

They’re back at it again!

17-year-old Jaden Smith and his 20-year-old girlfriend Sarah Snyder are back with the heavy PDA on the front row at NYFW. You’ll recall, the twosome were all over each other at NYFW Spring 2015. And now, they’re BACK at it in 2016.

This just in: Rihanna has left the building!  Deets inside on her leaving the Staples Center and cancelling her GRAMMY performance just minutes ago...

Rihanna was scheduled to perform at tonight's GRAMMY Awards, but according to reports, she left the Staples Center today...on doctor's orders.

TMZ reports she's been battling bronchitis with meds.  Unfortunately, even after two GRAMMY performance rehearsals, the doctor on site told her she must pull the plug or she could permanently damage her vocal chords.

 

 photo Rihanna2016MusiCaresPersonYearHonoringzedtckizi7ql_zpsfc8foj9q.jpg

Interestingly, Rihanna has been quite busy on both coasts all weekend.  She debuted her FENTY x PUMA collection at NYFW on Friday.  Then she jetted to LA to rock the stage at the 2016 MusiCares Person of the Year event honoring Lionel Richie on Saturday.

Rihanna's rep tells Just Jared in a statement:

“Based on Rihanna‘s examination, after Grammy rehearsal today, Rihanna‘s doctor put her on vocal rest for 48-hours because she was at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal chords. The antibiotics she has been on for 3-days did not kill the infection adequately therefore she cannot perform safely.”

Rihanna's performance Saturday night starts at the :30 second mark below:

It’s the biggest night in music and the perfect occasion to take a risk or two. Andra Day, Janelle Monae, Zendaya and Lianne La Havas are taking risks and looking FAB while doing so. Peep their Grammy Awards arrivals and decide who rocked your favorite look inside….

 photo AndraDay58thGRAMMYAwardsRedCarpeteyg0Yo46hPml.jpg

The soulful songstress stepped out for the biggest night in music and made a huge splash with her look. She glammed it up in a silk emerald green mermaid style Michael Costello gown with a white fur stole and white fur sandals for an old Hollywood glam look.

 photo 58thGRAMMYAwardsArrivalscJGfL7IKteDl.jpg

She finished her look with a vintage updo and a fire red lippie.

 photo AndraDay58thGRAMMYAwardsRedCarpet495SdssM3Aul.jpg

Andra performed her hit track "Rise Up" and a duet with Ellie Goulding. But before she hit the stage, she trekked the carpet with her parents. She said they have been her biggest inspiration and she wanted to share the special evening with them.

 photo 58thGRAMMYAwardsArrivalsA8qjZlSyUpGl.jpg

Red carpet slayer Janelle Monae was up to her usual fabulousness. She served an avante garde look in a Jean Paul Gaultier creation, keeping true to her signature black-and white theme. She accessorized her look with earrings and a ring by Pasquale Bruni and Carrera y Carrera diamond rings.

 photo 58thGRAMMYAwardsArrivalsXvZZJD6kot7l.jpg

So flawless.

The WONDALAND honcho came out to support her artists Jidenna and Roman GianArthur on their Grammy nomination in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for hit track "Classic Man." Unfortunately for them, Kendrick Lamar took home the win in the category.

 photo ZendayaColeman58thGRAMMYAwardsRedCarpetvwIrZCNMbbnl.jpg

By now, you know Zendaya loves a different and daring look. The Disney starlet wasn’t too daring with her look, but she did step out the box with her new ‘do.

 photo ZendayaColeman58thGRAMMYAwardsRedCarpetgACS8U_WfWHl.jpg

 photo 58thGRAMMYAwardsArrivalsA08kuBk5sh3l.jpg

The “K.C. Undercover” star rocked a double-breasted Dsquared suit for an androgynous vibe with Butani diamond rings and a Casa Reale diamond ring. It's giving us David Bowie tease so we can' help but wonder if she was saluting the music icon who recently passed away.

She kept with the blonde cropped wiggery, but added hair in the back making it a mullet. Certainly a risk.

 photo 58thGRAMMYAwardsArrivalsjDoV3tUFMnGl.jpg

Nominee Lianne La Havas popped up on the carpet in a bold colored Vivenne Westwood one-shouldered princess gown.

Her boyfriend Ben Baptie came out to support her for her Grammy nomination. She was in the running for the Best Urban Contemporary Album for her Blood LP, but The Weeknd ended up winning the award.

Make way for a black chick who rocks!

R&B songstress and nominee Jazmine Sullivan wowed us all in this black glittery Michael Costello gown that hugged her curves like a glove. Chick is definitely serving up some epic slayage and elegance. The “10 Seconds” singer was up for three awards tonight, but unfortunately didn’t take home a statue.

Well here’s a surprise. Grammy Award winning artist Mya popped up on the red carpet looking beautiful as always. Nice to see her on the scene. Just yesterday, the R&B songbird dropped a new musical offering called Smooth Jones. You can cop it on Apple Music/iTunes.

The fineness that is Common took a break from filming his new film to hit up the Grammy Awards. The Oscar winner was nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, but lost to Kendrick Lamar. But, he did nab a Grammy for the Best Written Song for Visual Media with his joint track "Glory" with John Legend and Rhymefest.

"Classic Man" Jidenna hit the carpet in an electric blue suit as he was nominated for a Grammy this year which is a major feat being that he hasn't even released an album yet. Unfortunately for him, he didn't take home the gold trophy after Kendrick Lamar swept up the award.

The couple is expecting a baby girl soon and couldn’t be happier. John nabbed the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

While on the carpet, the happy couple revealed their L.A. house they just moved in is still being renovated and they are nowhere near ready for their baby girl’s arrival. The R&B crooner then disclosed some parental advice given to him by President Barack Obama: Be prepared to be wrapped around his daughter’s little finger once she’s born. Aww.

Grammy Award winning superproducer Pharrell Williams is looking …different these days. Must be the blonde hair. He brought his wife Helen along as his date for the evening. And they celebrated P’s win in the Best Rap Song category for his feature on Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.”

GRAMMYS 2016: Taylor Swift Addressed Kanye About Those "Famous" Lyrics While Accepting Her GRAMMY

0

 photo taylor kanye_zpsfjuapa9e.jpg

Putting out that statement just wasn't enough, apparently.  Taylor Swift had more words for Kanye West as she accepted her Album of the Year Grammy.  We've got it all inside...

Last week, during Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 show at Madison Square Garden, he played his album The Life of Pablo for everyone in attendance.

On "Famous," he rapped:

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

When Kanye claimed afterwards that Taylor had given her blessing, Taylor quickly popped back saying that was completely untrue.  She said she actually told Kanye not to release anything with disparaging lyrics about her.

He did anyway.  So now, Taylor has a message for Yeezy.  On the night she walked away with Album of the Year, she used her acceptance speech to tell young women not to let anyone belittle or take credit for their accomplishments:

"And as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame."

"But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment."

Taylor also faced a lawsuit a few months where a man claimed she stole his lyrics to use in 92% of her biggest songs.  The case was dismissed, but she could be referencing that a little bit as well.

Check out video of Taylor's words below:

Here's her full acceptance speech:

By the way, we thought Kanye would pop back, but he hasn't...yet.
