A.Keys fans have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for new album worthy music from the married mom of two.  Now, the wait is over.

As she preps for her big comeback, Alicia dropped her newest single "In Common" on TIDAL and Vevo late tonight.  She's serving relaxing vibes you can groove to with an underlying Caribbean dance beat.  And we gotta admit, it's pretty hot.

She sings on the song :

"If you could love somebody like me you must be messed up too."

Check out the track below:

Get caught up on every MET Gala look on the YBF celebs who nabbed an invite....

It's the biggest costume ball in the fashion world.  The MET Gala marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.  As for this year's theme:  “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.”

Here's how your faves interpreted it (or didn't interpret):

Beyonce brought her cakes to NYC during an off day on her Formation Tour.  Draped in latex, her Givenchy look had everybody talking once again:

Body is SNATCHED.

Ciara rocked platinum silver hair for her look she created with H&M:

Regardless of whether you like the edginess, her glam and skin looked flawless. 

Zoe Saldana took or breath away in this Stefano and Domenico creation for Dolce & Gabbana feathered extra dramatic frock:

Not sure if she and her husband Marco practiced these poses at home, but they nailed it.

Werk!

Kerry Washington held on to her baby bump on the red carpet as she rocked Marc Jacobs.

VOGUE named Kanye and Kim Best Dressed of the night, but we'd have to respectfully disagree.  Kim rocked a heavy metal silver Balmain concoction. But we feel like we've seen it all before.

Except for these contacts.  Alrighty 'Ye.

LaLa Anthony and Carmelo stayed on theme and took the drama factor up a notch.  La rocked a gown by Nicolas Jebra.

Zendaya served up vintage wiggery in her Michael Kors look:

Chick knows how to slay.

Oh yes Idris Elba.  The honorary co-chair of the event was dapper as usual.

will.i.am hid behind a visor for his look.

Some type of way Wiz Khalifa nabbed an invite.

Amandla Stenberg always steals our hearts with her young and carefree looks.  And this one is no different.  She collaborated with Calvin Klein for the fab red satin look.

Zoe Kravitz went for the masquerade look, ad nailed it.  The movie star was in head to toe Valentino.

Cutie Michael B. Jordan rocked an interesting look.

Oh Nicki.  She showed up in Moschino, and the label's designer Jeremy Scott had everyone in his designs looking straight out of the mental ward.

Including Madonna.

Odell Beckham Jr. likely got a personal invite from Ms. Anna Wintour herself. She seems smitten with the Giants baller.

Naomi never lets us down.  Nobody rocks Cavalli like her.

The Weeknd was on hand to perform a few of his hits at the gala.  He and his model girlfriend Bella Hadid showed up in head to toe black Givenchy.

The Smith kids looked more grown up and put together than ever for their first MET Ball appearance.  Both rocked threads from the new fashion houses they've become faces of -- Chanel for Willow and Louis Vuitton for Jaden.

The gorgeous Jennifer Hudson, who was snubbed for a TONY earlier today, rocked a gown (with a 4 ft. train) that gave us wedding vibes.

She also collaborated with H&M on the creation.

Night time talk show host Trevor Noah looked handsome.

Nas looked sexy as always as he hit the carpet before performing with The Weeknd.

"How To Get Away With Murder" star Aja Naomi King gave marigold fabulousness by Prabal Gurung.

Rita Ora, who snapped a pic inside with Beyonce as she squashed those Becky rumors, rocked feathers as well.  It's a Vera Wang creation, of course.

Misty Copeland was fresh off unveiling her new Barbie when shehit the red carpet in Jason Wu.

FKA twigs brought her man Rob Pattinson on the carpet. And yes, Rob's ex Kristen Stewart was indeed there as well.

Michael Strahan took a break from the daytime TV drama to stroll in on the carpet looking good.

Future rocked a white dinner jacket and tux look by Ermenegildo Zegna "Made-To-Measure" Couture.

TONY nominee Lupita Nyong'o had the most hair raising look of the night:

ALL the yeses! The dress, hair, skin, ALL OF IT.

And new TONY nominee Cynthia Erivo of The Color Purple went for a mixed print look by Coach and her Roger Vivier clutch.

Who was your fave of the night?

Who’s ready for a new talk show hosted by four megachuch pastors? Well, it’s in the works and it’s coming this summer. Deets inside….

There’s a new talk show coming to daytime television. And the hosts will be brining their religion to the panel.

Following the blueprint of “The View,” megachurch pastors Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Jr. (senior pastor/teacher at The House of Hope Atlanta), John Gray (musician/associate pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston), Orrick Quick (pastor and founder of God Seekers Church in High Point, NC), and Dr. Jamal Bryant (pastor and founder of Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore) have signed on for a brand new daytime talk show called "The Preachers set to debut on FOX this summer.

The four dynamic and outspoken preachers will debut a three-week hour-long daily preview where they will give their unique takes on pop culture, news events and, of course, spirituality. The new show is being executive produced by Emmy Award winner Bill Geddie, co-creator and longtime executive producer of “The View” for 17 seasons.

The show has been picked up by FOX Television Stations and Warner Bros for a summer test run kicking off July 11th on FOX-owned stations in New York and Los Angeles, with additional select stations and markets to be announced in the future.

Will you be watching?

As the pastors gear up for their talk show debut, they've been making promo rounds and posed it up in a photoshoot yesterday:

We wonder if Pastor Bryant will chat it up about his ex-wife Gizelle Bryant who stars on the "Real Housewives of Potomac" (which was renewed for a 2nd season). Things could get very interesting if she's invited as a guest on the show.

Interesting. 

Peep their announcement and a clip from the show below:

Solange Knowles Ferguson linked up with her big sister Beyonce at a Met Gala afterparty before hopping on a plane out of NYC with her husband Alan Ferguson. Meanwhile, Adrienne Bailon enjoyed dinner with her boyfriend Israel Houghton and friends. Pics inside….

While they showed up at the Met Gala solo, sisters Solange and Beyonce bumped into one another at a Met Gala afterparty held at Up and Down Monday night. They were serving sisterly love as they hugged it up outside of the venue.

Cute.

Both ladies slipped into ensembles that were more comfortable, yet stylish, to dance around in for the post-Met Gala festivities.

Inside, Solo and her hubby were all loved up and cutesy together. The fashionista captioned, "Luh in da club #afterthemet"

Looks like everybody was feeling it.

After the party...

The Fergusons packed their things and headed to JFK airport. As they trekked through the airport to hop on a flight out of the Big Apple, it appears they were trying to duck the paparazzi.

Before jetting out of NYC, Solo hopped on Twitter to share her sentiments of the evening. Apparently, someone got under Solo's skin during the Met Gala and she threw some shade on social media. She then said she was talking about one of the characters on the kiddie show "Backyardigans." Hmph.

Peep the tweets:

Who do you think Solange was REALLY talking about? Hmm....

On the west coast...

After working the red carpet at this year's Daytime Emmy Awards, “The Real” co-host Adrienne Bailon made it a night out on the town in L.A. Monday night.

Unfortunately, “The Real” didn’t nab any wins at the awards ceremony, but Adrienne doesn’t seem too bothered. She enjoyed dinner with her homie Julissa Bermúdez at The Nice Guy in West Hollywood.

Loving the white and black ensemble Adrienne is rocking. Cute and casual.

Looks like Adrienne's boyfriend Isreal Houghton also joined in on the fun. He was spotted sitting shotgun as they drove off from the venue. It's unclear if he joined Adrienne and co. for dinner or just came to pick her up.

YBF celebs were all about showing love to their moms during the taping of VH1’s “Dear Mama” event last night. Come inside to see the flicks before the show airs and get the deets on Will& Jada Pinkett Smith's baby making moments...

To help kick off Mother’s Day in a FAB way, VH1 put together an event to honor all of the incredible moms that make this world a better place.

A bevy of celebs came out to the network’s first ever “Dear Mama” Mother’s Day special held at St. Bartholomew’s Church to honor and show appreciation to their own mothers.

Taking a break from filming his new movie Collateral Beauty,Will Smith took center stage to honor his lovely wife of nearly 20 years Jada Pinkett Smith. But his speech likely had his kids Trey, Jaden and Willow squirming in their seats in the audience when he started reflecting on his and his wife's baby making days.

The Hollywood actor said:

"I'm not gonna be silly. I'm here to honor you. Just watching the piece with the kids it just takes me back to when we made them. Can't help but think about that. It's just amazing. It's like you take Jada Pinkett Smith and an obscure town in Mexico and some tequila and you end up with great kids!"

Ha!

He continued, "Jada is magical. Part of why I love her is things happen in a way they shouldn't happen, they shouldn't go that way. She has this magical power."

Aww! So sweet.

The upcoming Bad Moms starlet hit the stage after her husband to gush over her incredible family life and how grateful she is. She said,

"I never thought about being married or having a family. I didn't know anything about that because I came from a single mom so I always though I'd be a single mom and have a career. Then I found this beautiful man, Will. I got married to him and I got my bonus son Trey and then I got Jaden and I got Willow and I was able to create, for myself, something I never had—which means family."

*tear*

R&B songstress Alicia Keys, who dropped a brand new single last night, serenaded the audience with a performance of her hit single "If I Ain't Got You" with a Mother's Day twist. 

After wrapping up her set, the fab mom and step-mom made her way into the audience to honor her mother Terria Joseph and shower her with more love.

Peep a clip of her performance below:

Halle Berry is giving a sneak peek at her new lingerie line. Peep the sultry shots, plus flicks of Ciara styling in these NYC streets inside…

We told youHalle Berry was launching a brand new lingerie line to add a little sexiness to your collection. Now, the fab mom is giving a sneak peek of her own sultry designs.

The former “Extant” star, who’s currently developing a new project with CBS, found some down time to bless her fans with a little sex appeal giving the first look at her new line in collaboration French lingerie brand Scandale.

"My vision was to create a brand for women that listens to them and gives them what they actually want without compromise," Halle said about the line when it was first announced. And it seems to be true.

You will be able to purchase items from Halle's collection once the line is launched in Target stores and the store's website. Pieces from her collection range from $7 panties to $18 panties. Now that’s a deal!

The 49-year-old stunna, who joined Instagram back in March, flaunted her lady lumps and bared her washboard abs in a sexy lace negligee from her line in an Instagram flick that she captioned, “First look at @ScandaleHalleBerry. More beautiful things to come."

Who's excited?

As for her latest spotting, Halle arrived at JFK airport in NYC on Monday hiding her incredible bod under some baggy clothes and she's still rocking that short messy bob wiggery. What's good Halle? Peep the pics here.

In NYC...

After bringing her futuristic style to the Met Gala, Ciara hit the sidewalk catwalk in the Big Apple looking amazing, per usual.

The “I Bet” singer served fresh springtime fab in a peachy nude shirt dress paired with gray over-the-knee boots by Stuart Weitzman.

Photogs caught her trekking to her car after having lunch at Barney’s New York on Madison Avenue. We wonder if it was a business meeting and she’s cooking up something new. We do know she will be hitting the studio to work on new music after she announced the cancellation of her JACKIE tour.

Later...

CiCi hit up the Moynat grand store opening where she stopped for a mini photoshoot on a staircase. She rocked a cute ruffled frock accessorized with a mini Vanity Moynat bag. Werk!

And here she is snapping it up with the designers. Fun times!

Evelyn Lozada reveals the heartbreaking news that she suffered yet another miscarriage. Deets inside.

Plus, we’ve rounded up flicks of Zendaya rocking Beyonce's Ivy Park threads in L.A. inside….

In very sad news, “Livin’ Lozada” star Evelyn Lozada has revealed she suffered a 2nd miscarriage. You’ll recall, the 40-year-old reality star suffered her first miscarriage with baseball player fiancé Carl Crawford in an emotional epsiode during season 1 of her show.

Unfortunately, it happened again and on one of the most family oriented holidays: Thanksgiving Day.

In a new interview with Life & Style, Ev opens up about losing another unborn baby and how devastating it was to lose the baby on such a special holiday.

“I miscarried on Thanksgiving Day,” said Evelyn. “I was like, ‘This cannot be happening to my life again. I was literally miscarrying my baby,” but she kept it quiet because she “didn’t want to dampen the mood.”

So sad.

Evelyn, who’s mom to 23-year-old Shaniece and 2-year-old Leo, still has hope to become a mother again. “I love being a mom. After two miscarriages, it makes me want to be a mom even more,” she said.

We will likely see it all unfold on the upcoming new season of “Livin’ Lozada” set to premiere Saturday, May 7th at 10/9c on OWN.

In new candids...

Disney starlet Zendaya is a member of the BeyHive! Duh. She starred in Beyonce's LEMONADE visual album.

The Cover Girl ambassador hopped on a flight from NYC to L.A. after serving vintage fab at the Met Gala Monday night.

Daya was all about keeping it comfortable wearing an gray Ivy park sweatshirt, black leggings and Nike slippers. And, of course, her dad, who also serves as her security detail, wasn't far behind.

A few lucky fans nabbed a photo-op with the teen sensation.

Photogs caught up with Daya where she talks about Beyonce's LEMONADE album being art and how Jay Z would visit the set. Peep the clip below:

In a new interview with Steve Harvey, Kanye West reveals he may be going on tour this fall. He also stressed how sorry he is over dragging Wiz Khalifa’s son into their online beef. Find out all he said inside….

Following one of the biggest nights in fashion, Kanye West made a surprise call into the "Steve Harvey Morning Show" Tuesday morning (May 3rd) for a radio interview. There appears to be no hard feelings between Ye and Steve after the Chi-town native slammed the comedian/radio host in his track “Facts.” It was all love between the two as they chopped it up like old friends.

Ye called in to promote the release of his latest single “Ultralight Beam” off of his recently released album The Life of Pablo. But, he also revealed he may be hitting the road for a tour this fall.

"You know my tour game is strong," said Ye. "My tour game is unprecedented. So we're going to go out in September, I believe, and we're just working on some of the ideas right now."

The fashion fanatic went on to explain that his purpose in life is to inspire the younger generation the way “Disney inspired [him] when he first saw Star Wars.”

Talking more about her personal life, Yeezy said he feels remorseful after dragging Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose’s son Sebastian into his Twitter feud with Wiz. You’ll recall, Kanye said things like he OWNS his son and things of that nature. While the two have since squashed their “beef,” Ye said he has the utmost respect for all parents and he only wants to dish out positive vibes.

"I've talked to Wiz. I mean, Amber's talked to Kim, but I really wanna stress the amount of respect that I have for parents and that there is no concept of anyone being able to own someone else's child or that type of concept. So, everyday I actually feel more deeply, deeply, deeply apologetic about that concept because I only want to put out positive, positive, positive concepts."

Well good for him for owning up to his mistakes.

Then he started talking about his wife Kim Kardashian West and how she's breaking body image barriers. He explained,

“She is breaking boundaries on so many levels. In fashion, designers [weren’t] trying to make clothes for women with shapes. And now they’re all about really embracing and empowering women.”[She's] empowering women in a matriarch society where women can make money. Like when she said, 'OK my husband might have invested everything he had into fashion, everything he had into creativity for breaking boundaries, but I put the money in the account.' All of those statements, means that can't nobody ever disrespect my wife, period."

Is that what he's calling what Kim is doing? Women empowerment? Oh.

Yeezy also talked about his childhood memories with his late mother Donda West and his frustrations with the fashion world. Take a listen to his full interview below:

Rickey Smiley hosted a screening of season 2 of his reality show “Rickey Smiley For Real” and many of his celeb friends came out to show support. Peep the pics, plus shots of Niecy Nash, Andra Day, Kevin McCall and more having fun at a music showcase inside…

Comedian/radio personality Rickey Smiley is gearing up for the season 2 premiere of his unscripted TV One series “Rickey Smiley For Real.” Last night, he hosted a screening and afterparty where several of his celeb friends came out to show their support.

His Radio One/Dish Nation family, including Da Brat, Porsha Williams and Gary With Da Tea (and his loud suit) made sure to come out to celebrate their friend/co-worker’s big feat.

The whole Smiley Family was in the building to catch the show's season 2 premiere, in which they star.

It was all fun and games as Rickey had some fun cutting up on the red carpet with Porsha.

Curves ahead! The Naked Lingerie owner showed off her curvaceous bod in a black-and-white printed bodycon mini.

Fresh from her “Wendy Williams” appearance, “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez looked a tad bit over it on the carpet. Maybe her husband Stevie J (yes, they're still together) pissed her off before she made it to the event. You know they stay in some drama.

We see Brat is having fun with her threads. There's a lot going on with this look.

R&B songstress Kelly Price was all smiles as she posed it up on the carpet. Are we feelin' her blue streaked hair?

Well come on through then Lisa Wu! The “Hollywood Divas” star looked rather jazzy in all black everything.

Well here's a surprise. Reality star Shay "Buckeey" Johnson stepped out and made an appearance.

“R&B Divas” creator/Brownstone songstress Nicci Gilbert, radio personality Ed Lover and SWV singer Lelee were in the mix to celebrate the 2nd season of Rickey's show.

Reality star/choreographer Andrea Kelly, ex-wife of R. Kelly, stays on the ATL scene and last night was no different.

Inside...

Rickey and his cast mates did a Q&A panel, hosted by Porsha.

Y'all know Rickey is also about showing love to his fraternity, throwing up the hooks during the shindig. He's a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.

And it appears Gary suffered a minor spill during the festivities. One too many perhaps?

You can catch the first season 2 episode of “Rickey Smiley For Real" when it premieres Tuesday, May 10 at 8/7c on TV One.

At another event....

Last week, “Soul Man” actress Nicey Nash was tapped to host the pre-release music showcase of up-and-coming artist MAJOR, hosted by producer Harmony Samuels, BOE, SAMURAI and BMI.

Before getting to her hosting duties, the fabulous actress posed it up on the carpet with “Hollywood Divas” stars Elise Neal, and Shamicka Lawrence along with radio personality/dancer Big Lez.

This is what 50 & fabulous slayage looks like! Werk!

In movie news, Elise has quite a few projects coming down the pipeline, including Ladies Book Club, What Are The Chances and 36 Hour Layover.

Positioned in the middle, new artist MAJOR was all smiles posing it up alongside celebrity publicist/new mom Kita Williams and publicist Mo, soulful songstress Andra Day, and Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.

Nothings official until you snap selfie. Say cheese!

Troubled R&B singer Kevin McCall, who was recently involved in a social media tiff with his baby mama Eva Marcille's cousin, seems to be in good spirits.

Wardrobe stylist/”Mary Mary” star GooGoo Atkins came out to hear some of MAJOR's new tunes.

Niecy took center stage to host the event.

And former "The Game" star Wendy Raquel Williams, looking gorge, was also in the mix. Fun times!

Get it!

After the show...

Rih and Drizzy hit up The Nice Guy for some good eats. We’re sure the rumor mill is going to have a field day with this, but it’s likely just a platonic dinner. We’re still keeping our eye on them though.

Drizzy recently announced he's heading out on his "Summer Sixteen" tour with Future. It's set to kick off July 20th in Austin, TX.

We wonder if Rih will join him on a few dates since they have a track together titled "Too Good" on his album VIEWS.

After dinner...

The Bajan beauty, rocking a black bomber jacket, made her way to a waiting vehicle with her camp.

Next stop? Rih will be taking the "ANTI World Tour" to the SAP Center in San Jose, California tomorrow (May 6th).

In boss chick news...

After becoming the first and only artist to surpass RIAA's 100 million cumulative singles award threshold, the “BBHMM” singer just copped two new records. Rih’s ANTI album has become first 2X multi-Platinum album of 2016! And she’s not done.

RiRi's hot single “Work,” featuring Drake, is RIAA’s first 3X multi-Platinum song of year.

Congrats!

We love a good clap back. And Lupita Nyong’o served up a history lesson to VOGUE after they tried to say Audrey Hepburn inspired her sculptured Met Gala hair. Ummm…yeah.

More inside….

Sighs…here we go again!

Tony Award nominee Lupita Nyong’o turned heads when she stepped out on the red carpet at the 2016 Met Gala in a sparkling green Calvin Klein gown and her sky-high sculptured hair.

Once again, VOGUE tried to explain the Kenyan beauty's look to the masses comparing Lupita’s updo to Audrey Hepburn’s hairstyle in her 1963 VOGUE shoot.

Receipts below:

We’re not sure how they still got it wrong being that she told Andre Leon Talley the inspiration behind the updo (one of them being iconic singer Nina Simone) on the carpet:

Well, the Oscar winner hopped on Instagram to subtly, yet powerfully, school the magazine on the African influences behind her Met Gala hair-raising 'do. She did not get upset, she did not curse, she didn't have READ the publication. THREE words along with a picture collage is all that was needed.

She said:

 

Hair Inspiration. Check. @vernonfrancois @voguemagazine #metball2016

With everyone speculating Beyonce was addressing her husband cheating on her new LEMONADE album, there are new reports Jay Z will be making a response. Do we believe it? Decide inside…

Word on the curb is that Jay Z is supposedly cooking up a response to his wife Beyonce’s LEMONADE album. While we don’t believe Bey was airing out her dirty laundry, many folks believe she is in fact talking about her relationship with Hov where she claims he cheated on her.

Well, now folks are saying the Hip Hop mogul is allegedly creating an entire album in response to Mrs. Carter’s LEMONADE to tell his side of the story. An alleged source tells US Weekly, “Jay is working on an album telling his side of things.”

Hmm...

We’re not sure if we believe this just yet. But, if you think about it, it would be genius if he did. Just another marketing tool for Bey’s sixth studio album (which hit the No. 1 spot on the music charts its first week) and we wouldn’t mind being blessed with a new Jay Z album. It’s been three years since his last solo album, Magna Carter Holy Grail.

As for that rumored joint album between Bey and Jay that was circulating when they were "On The Run" tour, an insider tells Billboard it never happened because Columbia wasn't having it.

Holly Robinson Peete’s son R.J. Peete penned the sweetest letter to the teen with autism who was bullied by 50 Cent on social media recently. Grab your tissues because it’s a tearjerker. Plus, deets on Fif donating to an autism charity inside….

Holly Robinson Peete’s has been very vocal about her son R.J. Peete having autism and very active about raising awareness about the disorder. It was a pleasant surprise to read an open letter by R.J. encouraging another young man who's dealing with autism.

Let’s go back to where it all started…

A few days ago, 50 Cent posted a video on social media of a teen working his janitorial job inside the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport where he accused him of being “high.” Turns out, the teen, whose name is Andrew Farrell, wasn’t high at all. He has autism. And herr Fif is bullying the poor kid for millions to see. Check it:

R.J. caught wind of the video and decided to send a few words of encouragement to Andrew. And it has us all in our feelings. In an open letter, we wrote:

Last night at a concert, I had a really tough time processing something I could not do, and I was overwhelmed by the crowd around me. I kinda lost it... I panicked, cried, yelled and banged my fists. I was not in control. Everyone was staring at me. I felt isolated. I embarrassed myself and my family. It was a really rough night. We “pushed through it,” like my mom always says, but it was bad moment.

So, I couldn’t sleep last night, and I saw a video that 50 Cent posted making fun of you because you were different. He has, like, 8 million followers. Everyone saw it.

I thought, “What if during my meltdown last night, I was caught on video and it got posted by someone — or a famous rapper? Then everyone would have seen me at my worst.” I get a tight chest when I just think about it.

I wonder if 50 Cent knows how hard it is to have autism and be a teenager. How my brain doesn’t always work with me. How I can feel uncomfortable in my body. How frustrating it is to be misunderstood. Called “stupid,” “retarded.” How hard it is to get people to give us jobs. To stand up for yourself. How last night was so hard on me and my brother and sister. I feel so bad about it today. My mom said, “It’s over, son, let’s move on.” But for you, millions of people saw him making fun of you when you were just trying to work, not bothering anyone. It might be harder for you to just move on.

So, I just wanted to tell you to stay positive, Andrew, and make sure you remember that we may be different, but we are still the same — and even if we are not as cool as a famous rapper, we are still dope in our own way. Like Kendrick Lamar says, “We gon’ be alright!”

Aww!! That was SO SWEET of R.J.! You can read his full letter to Andrew here.

Meanwhile…

50 is now trying to make good on his royal screw up. The G-Unit rapper, who filed for bankruptcy last year, has donated $100,000 to Austism Speaks at the request of Andrew’s family.

In a statement to TMZ Fif said, “I want to turn this misunderstanding into an understanding. There are people that are ignored, mistreated and neglected with disabilities that need our support.”

Hmph.

The Wests are currently in Cuba with cameras rolling as they roll through the streets of Cuba in a vintage convertible. Peep their family flicks inside…

Fresh from the Met Gala, Kanye West, North West and Kim Kardashian West hopped on a plane and jetted to Havana, Cuba for a family vacay since the ban has been lifted to visit the country. And, of course, the cameras were rolling to capture it all for a new season of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian (not pictured) also tagged along for the fun.

Nori was her usual cute self sporting a huge smile on her face as they made their way to a pink vintage convertible for a stroll through the city:

It was a total frenzy as photogs swarmed the threesome trying to get flicks of the West family as they hopped into their ride.

Nori is the absolute cutest!

For another dose of cuteness...

The two-year-old tot and her parents were spotted trekking the streets of Havanna rocking all white ensembles.

Little Nori was styling in her fringed dress and choker as she walked to their ride alongside her mom.

Then she played coy with daddy, who announced he's heading out ontour this fall, before they hopped in their ride and rode off to their next destination.

President Obama is winning the internets today, from a super sweet hug and chat with an 8-year-old Flint resident to granting clemency to 58 deserving non violent offenders.  Get it all inside...

POTUS is giving us all the feels today! 

Yesterday, during his trip to Flint, Michigan, President Obama visited plenty of local spots (and surrounding locations) in the city before speaking to the city during a town hall like event about the status of the water crisis.

But first, he caught up with 8-year-old Mari Copeny, AKA "Little Miss Flint", backstage.  The cutie wrote to the President about how she's working to bring attention to the public health crisis in her community because she's concerned for other children like her.  

It's the MOST adorable thing.  Check out their encounter below:

 

A video posted by The White House (@whitehouse) on May 5, 2016 at 10:30am PDT

Afterwards, POTUS spoke to the residents about what the federal government is doing to help in the crisis:

I also wanted to come here, though, to tell you that I've got your back, that we're paying attention. So I met and heard directly from those who are leading the federal response and who are working hard to make sure that Flint is whole again, to make sure that this proud city bounces back not just to where it was, but stronger than ever. And I want all of you to know I am confident that Flint will come back.  I will not rest, and I'm going to make sure that the leaders, at every level of government, don’t rest until every drop of water that flows to your homes is safe to drink and safe to cook with, and safe to bathe in -- because that's part of the basic responsibilities of a government in the United States of America.

He added:

So as President, I’ve sent Flint the best resources our federal government has to support our state and local partners. The agencies that serve you -- the agencies that specialize in health and housing, and those that support small businesses and our kids’ education; those that are responsible for the food that our children eat and, of course, the water we drink. Everybody is on duty. The National Guard is on duty. This is a hands-on-deck situation -- all hands on deck. Because if there's a child who feels neglected on the north side of Flint, or a family on the east side of this city who wonders whether they should give up on their hometown and move away, or an immigrant who wonders whether America means what we say about being a place where we take care of our own. That matters to all of us -- not just in Flint, not just in Michigan, but all across America. Flint’s recovery is everybody’s responsibility. And I’m going to make sure that responsibility is met. (Applause.)

So I just talked with some of the team of responders that are on the ground to make sure that they’re coordinating. And they’re doing some incredible things. They’ve distributed enough water to fill more than three Olympic-sized swimming pools. They’ve distributed thousands of filters. They’re helping students afford nutritious food that work against the contaminants in bad water. They’re making sure new moms have access to instant infant formula that doesn’t require water. They’ve expanded health services for children and pregnant women, and education programs for Flint’s youngest children. They’re out there testing homes for lead and testing children for exposure to lead.

And he called for the local residents and businesses to do their part:

But like all our best responses in tough times, this is not a government effort alone. We need our businesses and nonprofits and philanthropies to step up. And what’s incredible about Flint is how many volunteers have already been leading the way. (Applause.) You’ve got members of one union, UA Local 370, that have donated tens of thousands of dollars and 10,000 hours of their time. They’ve installed thousands of filters, hundreds of faucets by going door to door, night and day. They’re not asking for anything in return, they’re just doing the right thing.

Check out his full speech below:

POTUS also stopped at the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan where he emphasized to residents that Flint's water is now safe to drink from a faucet filter.

"That does not - I repeat - negate the need for us to go ahead and replace some of these pipes," Obama told reporters after taking a gulp of filtered Flint water.

Obama was joined at the meeting by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, who sat across from each other. Snyder's office and Weaver's new administration have butted heads at times over the past four months that Flint has been under a state of emergency.

So Prez O came in to set ish straight saying, "My job here today is not to sort through all of the ins and outs of how we got to where we are, but rather make sure that all of us are focused on what we have to do moving forward on behalf of the children.  That's my priority. And that's got to be all of our priorities."

Obama said the crisis requires officials on opposing sides to "locks arms" and work together: "There are times for politics and there are times for turf battles. This is not one of those."

POTUS also visited Northwestern High School and met with a group nine Flint residents, including Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the Flint pediatrician who discovered high levels of lead in the blood of Flint children. Hanna-Attisha's research caused the Snyder administration to work to switch Flint's water source back to Detroit's pipeline from Lake Huron after 18 months of Flint using Flint River water.

Check out the full video below:

And today, this image is going viral:

Here's a snippet of Obama's essay he wrote explaining why:

Take Phillip Emmert. When he was 27, Phillip made a mistake. He was arrested and convicted for distributing methamphetamines and received a 27-year sentence. So, by the time he was released, he’d have spent half his life behind bars.

Unfortunately, while in prison, his wife was paralyzed in an accident. So while he was in prison, Phil learned everything he could about fixing heating and air conditioning systems — so he could support his wife when he got out. And after his sentence was commuted by President Bush, he was able to do just that. Today, he’s gainfully employed. He’s a caregiver for his wife, an active father, and a leader in his community.

Like so many nonviolent offenders serving unduly harsh sentences, Phillip is not a hardened criminal. He’s taken responsibility for his mistakes. And he’s worked hard to earn a second chance.

.....

As President, I’ve been working to bring about a more effective approach to our criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to drug crimes. Part of that effort has been to reinvigorate our commutations process, and highlight the individuals like Philip who are doing extraordinary things with their second chances. To date, I will have commuted 306 individual sentences, which is more than the previous six presidents combined.

Amazing!  You can read the full essay HERE.

The New Edition Story is on the way.  After the first round of casting was announced at the BET Upfronts recently, more casting decisions have been made.   Find out how the cast is shaping up for the biopic inside....

The cast is shaping up just right for BET's New Edition Story biopic.  The multi-night event will tell the story of the 5 original members starting the group as youngins in the 80's, as well as their bond years before as they grew up together in Boston.

All members, including later member Johnny Gill, are involved in the project and have been teaching the youngins and the older actors who play them later in life how to dance, talk and act like them.

Today, it was announced LaLa Anthony, Monica Calhoun (of The Best Man) and more were cast as the mothers of the boys:

Anthony will play Flo DeVoe, mother of the young Ronnie DeVoe, Brown will play Michael Bivins’ mother Shirley Bivins, Calhoun is Ralph Tresvant’s mother Patricia Tresvant, Carson will play Ricky Bell’s mother Mae Bell and McCree is Bobby Brown’s mother Carole Brown.

At the BET Upfronts a couple weeks ago, it was announced who was previously cast in the roles of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown: Bryshere Y. Gray, Elijah Kelley, Luke James, Keith Powers, and newcomers Algee Smith and Woody McClain.

All New Edition members also serve as co-producers and Chris Robinson is the director.

We got to see a sneak peek at the not-yet-finished movie at the Upfronts, and we're here for all the "Candy Girl" fabulousness!
