It must have been a full moon last night because there were several feuds that popped off on Twitter and Instagram. Come inside to see how 14-year-old Disney star Skai Jackson put Azealia Banks in her, well somebody's, place plus round 2 of the Chris Brown vs. Kevin McCall beef….

All hell broke loose on Twitter last night! Feuds were poppin’ up left and right on social media while fans followed along and added their opinions.

In one social media feud, 14-year-old Disney starlet Skai Jackson read Azealia Banks (who’s known to keep drama stirred up on social media) for FILTH, but in the classiest of ways.

Here’s how it started….

Azealia started going off on former One Direction member Zayn Malik because she felt he copied some of her work for his new video "Like I Would." In her Twitter tirade, Banks hurled racial slurs and totally disrespected him for the world to see.

Oddly, she deleted the tweets (which is out of the norm for her) and we may have found out the reason why. We’ll get to that in a second.

Peep her original rant below:

Sighs...

Apparently Skai got wind of the Harlem native’s disrespectful rant and decided to CHECK her. Skai started off by telling the "212" rapper she needed to “simmer down." Then, Azealia clapped back at the 14-year-old, saying her mom was pimping her out to Disney and that she needed to get her ass and tits done so she can “become a proper Instagram THOT.”

Bruh.

Read her tweets (if you can stand it) below:

Wow.

Although she's just 14, it's clear you will not come for Skai without her checking you first.  It appears she's gunning for a degree in Read 101 because she said all this:

Bloop!

Oh, and then Skai's mom jumped in the mix and she warned Azealia that she's not too young for her to put them paws on her:

Bloop.

As for why the Broke With Expensive Taste rapper deleted her tweets? Well, it may have something to do with an upcoming British festival she was supposed to headline. According to the Guardian, the Rinse Born & Bred Festival has DROPPED her from her headlining slot in July after they saw her racist rant against Zayn Malik.

In a statement, they said,“We have decided to cancel Azealia Banks’ headline appearance at Rinse Born & Bred. Rinse Born & Bred is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for everyone. We celebrate inclusivity and equality.”

Well there's that. Chick better rethink the social media antics, it’s clearly starting to affect her coinage.

Meanwhile, she’s due back in court today in New York for allegedly attacking a female nightclub security guard.

UPDATE: Azealia posted this explanation today:

In another online beef:

The drama continues between former friends and collaborators Chris Brown and Kevin McCall.

Lately, Kevin, who has written/produced several hits for Chris, has been going extra savage on social media starting ish with his baby mama Eva Marcille, her cousin and her new boyfriend. Now, he’s going in on Breezy...yet again.

Apparently, Kevin is still mad he’s still tied to Breezy under his record label, so he’s going after him every chance he gets.

Peep the tweets above and below.

Well, we all know Breezy isn't one to hold his tongue, so he clapped back at Kevin saying:

It didn't stop there. Kevin was on a mission:

Sighs...make it all stop!

Billboard thought it was a good idea to have Madonna do the tribute to Prince at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards.  Deets inside, plus Cam Newton's new promo photos for his upcoming NICK tv show...

Well whose bright idea was this?!  Madonna to honor the late, great Prince at the BBMAs?  Yep.  It's happening.

Blllboard reported today:

The Queen of Pop will pay homage to another member of music royalty, Prince, at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards.

Organizers today announced Madonna's participation in what promises to be one of the highlights of this year’s BBMAs. The legendary pop singer will pay tribute to her good friend and fellow artist, who unexpectedly passed away April 21 at the age of 57. Details on her tribute to the late music great remain a closely-guarded secret.

It's widely understood Madonna wasn't Prince's favorite person.  So it's unclear how Billboard came to this decision. Especially when we could name 10 better options off the top of our heads.  *cough* Fantasia, Miguel, D'Angelo, and more. 

But what do we know.  Billboard Awards air live from Vegas May 22, hosted by Ciara and Ludacris.

In other TV news, NFL MVP Cam Newton is breaking into TV in a new way for him.  The brand new dad's new Nickelodeon show is set to air this summer!

The big QB, who's really a big kid at heart, will step into the lives of real kids to help them fulfill their life long dreams in the new docu-series, "All in with Cam Newton."

If you like hating on Cam, you're going to have a hard time with all that shade after this.  Here's what the show is all about:

The 20-episode series, hosted by Newton, pairs kids with unique mentors who lend their expertise in a variety of fields, like gymnastics, animation, basketball and even local city government. Every episode features kids learning from a widely diverse pool of mentors.

From perfecting the perfect floor routine with three-time Olympian gymnast Dominique Dawes to learning tricks of illusion with David Copperfield, and designing a runway gown with Tim Gunn (Project Runway), Newton will champion kids every step of the way, as their ultimate sidekick to make sure their dreams and visions come true.

Loves it!  The show premieres Friday, June 3, at 8:00 p.m.  Until then, here's a sneak peek and promo pics of the cutie to hold you over:

Everyone has something to say about Beyonce’s LEMONADE, including her mother Tina Knowles Lawson and feminist bell hooks. Find out what they said inside…

With everyone speculating on Beyonce’s LEMONADE album, her mother Tina Knowles Lawson sets the record straight.

Folks have been going on and going trying to crack the code to Mrs. Carter’s latest musical offering. Was she referring to her husband Jay Z cheating? Was she talking about her mother’s strained relationship with her father Mathew Knowles? Tons of opinion pieces, tweets and Instagram posts trying to decode the visual album were put out there.

Now, her mother Tina Knowles Lawson opens up about what LEMONADE is all about.

"People make it all about the cheating and betrayal and, yes, that's a part of it because that is something you have to heal from," Tina told ABC13 in Houston. "If you really listen to the poetry it is one of hope and redemption and hopefully that can be healing for people."

So was Bey really airing out her mom and dad's dirty laundry?

"It could be about anyone's marriage. I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to and it's about the pain and it's about the healing process and it's about how do you get past that and move on."

While she doesn’t confirm the visual album was about her now failed marriage to her former husband, she does open up about how she handled the breakup.

"I remember my first little pity part and I called them crying and you know, they all came," she recalled. "We had a slumber party, we watched old movies all night and ate ice cream--it was very healing. My children are my rock and they are," she said. "Its just been the best gift god could have given me."

Aww!

Feminist/author bell hooks offered up a critique of Bey’s LEMONADE album that some are calling harsh.

In an essay posted to her site, bell acknowledges that the “Sorry” singer” formed a “powerfully symbolic black female sisterhood,” but she also scolds her for her use of violence in the visual album and how black women cannot yet be truly respected by simply showing off their beautiful bodies.

Here’s an excerpt from her post:

Viewers who like to suggest Lemonade was created solely or primarily for black female audiences are missing the point. Commodities, irrespective of their subject matter, are made, produced, and marketed to entice any and all consumers. Beyoncé’s audience is the world and that world of business and money-making has no color.

What makes this production—this commodity—daring is its subject matter. Obviously Lemonade positively exploits images of black female bodies—placing them at the center, making them the norm. In this visual narrative, there are diverse representations (black female bodies come in all sizes, shapes, and textures with all manner of big hair). Portraits of ordinary everyday black women are spotlighted, poised as though they are royalty. The unnamed, unidentified mothers of murdered young black males are each given pride of place. Real life images of ordinary, overweight not dressed up bodies are placed within a visual backdrop that includes stylized, choreographed, fashion plate fantasy representations. Despite all the glamorous showcasing of Deep South antebellum fashion, when the show begins Beyoncé as star appears in sporty casual clothing, the controversial hoodie. Concurrently, the scantily-clothed dancing image of athlete Serena Williams also evokes sportswear. (Speaking of commodification, in the real life frame Beyoncé’s new line of sportswear, Ivy Park, is in the process of being marketed right now).

Contrary to misguided notions of gender equality, women do not and will not seize power and create self-love and self-esteem through violent acts. Female violence is no more liberatory than male violence. And when violence is made to look sexy and eroticized, as in the Lemonade sexy-dress street scene, it does not serve to undercut the prevailing cultural sentiment that it is acceptable to use violence to reinforce domination, especially in relations between men and women. Violence does not create positive change.

Even though Beyoncé and her creative collaborators make use of the powerful voice and words of Malcolm X to emphasize the lack of respect for black womanhood, simply showcasing beautiful black bodies does not create a just culture of optimal well being where black females can become fully self-actualized and be truly respected.

It is the broad scope of Lemonade’s visual landscape that makes it so distinctive—the construction of a powerfully symbolic black female sisterhood that resists invisibility, that refuses to be silent. This in and of itself is no small feat—it shifts the gaze of white mainstream culture. It challenges us all to look anew, to radically revision how we see the black female body. However, this radical repositioning of black female images does not truly overshadow or change conventional sexist constructions of black female identity.

Gotta love it. 

We spotted Jada Pinkett Smith, Tamar Braxton and Charlamagne tha God in these NYC streets on the promo trail. Peep their candids inside…

Hollywood actress Jada Pinkett Smith swooped into NYC today for a television appearance. She was spotted making her way through the airport looking like a boss with her croc patent Birkin.

The 44-year-old stunna upped the chicness factor in a sexy, asymmetrical LBD by Anthony Vaccarello, flossing her toned arms and killer legs outside the “TODAY” show this AM at Rockefeller Center. She finished her look with silver accessories, black YSL sandals and she braided up her hair in long cornrows.

The upcoming Bad Moms actress chopped it up about her new comedy that will drop this summer. The flick follows three overworked and under-appreciated moms who are pushed beyond their limits. The “bad moms” ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. We're sure some of you moms out there can relate.

After her TV appearance, Jada stopped to sign a few autographs for a few fans who were lined up outside of the studio. Tonight, she's scheduled to appear on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

Peep the hilarious trailer of Jada's new comedy film below:

Bad Moms will hit theaters July 29th.

Elsewhere...

Daytime talk show host Tamar Braxton was spotted leaving NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center today. “The Real” co-host sashayed out of the studio rocking a black and white two-piece ensemble. Gorge.

The R&B singer and sister Toni Braxton (not pictured) appeared on “New York Live” to chat it up about all of the drama brewing for the upcoming 5th season of “Braxton Family Values.”

Check out a sneak peek at the new season below:

“Braxton Family Values” will premiere May 19th at 9pm EST on WEtv.

Also on the scene....

Well look who’s making his television rounds! “The Breakfast Club” co-host Charlamagne tha God trekked it to the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” ahead of his appearance. We see you Charlamagne, getting that national TV shine.

The radio host chopped it up with the late night host about where his stage name, selling crack back in the day and why he calls himself the “architect of aggravation.” 

Check out his late night appearance below:

Safaree Samuels, Nicki Minaj's ex, not only got himself a new Nikki, but he's "defending" himself about a situation he kinda started himself.  Deets inside on the latest with him and his ex Nicki Minaj....

Safaree Samuels, aka Scaff Beezy, aka Nicki Minaj's ex is really doing the most these days.

After appearing on K.Michelle's reality show recently, it seems he's gunning for a spot on the "LAHH" roster.

That would explain him and "LAHH" star Nikki Muddaris going out on a date to Katsuya in L.A.

'

The two held hands and looked all romantical and what not.

Could it all be for the cameras and to solidify his place on the reality show?  Strong possibility.

So when he decided to sue his ex Nicki Minaj on the heels of this little outing, things became crystal clear.

Without naming him by name, Nicki went OFF on Twitter Tuesday night about a grown ass man living off of a female.  We all know the two had a very bitter breakup. And Safaree threatened previously to sue her.  So....           

Nicki said that her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels filed a lawsuit against her, claiming he was physically and emotionally abused during their relationship.  She doesn't name him by name, but it's oh so obvious who she is speaking about.  From calling him a "poor excuse for a man" to a simple minded person who should stop being lazy and work, it screams "I'm talking about my ex."

Here's her tweets:

How did Safaree respond?  His publicist sent out this statement to all outlets:

Initially things were being handled privately behind the scenes but it was taken to social media and unfortunately its now being played out in the public eye which could easily be interpreted as a cry for attention. Safaree will not continue in any more social media feuds and at this time we are unable to comment or provide any details pertaining to the current legal proceedings that are taking place with Safaree Samuels and Nicki Minaj. We are confident that things will be both favorable and amicable for all parties.

They're over...again.  But this time, it's for real, supposedly.  Allegedly.  Deets inside on Tyga and Kylie Jenner's breakup....

Reports just broke that Tyga and 18-year-old girlfriend Kylie Jenner are officially over.  This comes days after Tyga congratulated his ex-fiance Blac Chyna on her and Rob Kardashian's baby on the way.

Kylie and her sister Khloe Kardashian have been Snapchatting each other all night talking about Kylie's "great qualities" and explaining who she really is.  We wouldn't be surprised if this was a tactic to pre-empt any negative stories that Tyga or others may unveil about her in the coming days.

As for WHY they've broken this time, who knows. But TMZ claims Tyga already has another model chick tagging along with him these days who showed up to brunch with him and his mom on Mother's Day.

The site also claims Kylie is pissed Tyga went to the MET Ball even though he was only invited because of her:

Sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ ... it happened days before the Met Ball last week. They were both at the gala, but they did not walk the red carpet together, and that was her decision.

...

We also know this ... the breakup was acrimonious. We're told Kylie was bent out of shape that Tyga had the nerve to go to the Met Ball. He was only invited because of her, and she's mad at herself that she didn't think to have him made persona non grata.

Y'all know that family does not like when you and your blackness do what you please instead of catering to their demands.  Ask Blac Chyna, Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, and others.

Tyga is currently in NYC.

That time the 26-year-old rapper put his barely legal girlfriend in his "Stimulated" video for a song that talks mainly about their sex life.

Back in November, Kylie allegedly dumped him on his birthday.  A few days after the story broke, they went on Snapchat together to dispel the "rumors." 

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Birthday girl Blac Chyna and her fiancé Rob Kardashian swooped down in Miami for some birthday fun. But before they headed down south, Chyna dished on her bestie turned frenemy turned future sister-in-law Kim Kardashian West giving her pregnancy tips. Peep their airport pics and get the deets inside….

Fresh from her CHYMOJI launch, Blac Chyna and her fiancé Rob Kardashian have jetted to Miami ahead of a club appearance. Now that the future Angela Renee Kardashian has gotten over her morning sickness, she’s free to travel the country to collect her coins. No baby bump is going to stop her hustle and her man is right by her side along the way.

Before they touched down in Miami, the engaged couple chopped it up with Zuri Hall from E! News on the purple carpet at Chy’s emoji launch/birthday bash. The soon-to-be mom again dished that her future sister-in-law (and former bestie) Kim Kardashian West has given her plenty of mommy tips. “She gives me a lot of tips actually,” said Chyna.

Chyna has a son only a year older than North West but, maybe Kim wants to be helpful....

Meanwhile, Rob opened up in his first on-camera interview in years telling Zuri he’s super excited about becoming a first time dad and that he’s trying to keep his personal life with Chyna private.

"I mean it's my first time, so everything is exciting, literally," said Rob. “I'm happy and I just like to keep it, you know, keep it private...as private as can be."

Not sure how private things can be when they Snapchat and Instagram every moment of their lives themselves.

The twosome, both rocking all black sweatsuits, was spotted arriving at Miami International Airport yesterday before her scheduled strip club appearance at G5ive nightclub to continue the birthday celebration.

After arriving:

We hear that soon after they touched down in Miami they made a beeline to Tootsie's Cabaret strip club. Of course.

She made a few videos on her SnapChat with her baby bump covered in a white hot jumper. Cute.

Her next stop? Chyna will be heading to D.C. for a hosting gig at Bliss nightclub Saturday night.

As if George Zimmerman could get anymore disgusting.  Find out why folks are dragging him again today inside...

We already knew this man had no soul, but he does everything in his power to make sure we never forget it.

George Zimmerman, the man who murdered shot and killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin and miraculously got away with it, is now putting the weapon he used to kill the young boy up for auction.

The 9-mm pistol went up online around 11am today with this disturbing announcement from George himself:

“I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon.

The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012 ... Many have expressed interest in owning and displaying the firearm including The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. This is a piece of American History.”

By the way, the museum refutes his claim.  He's a proven liar so it's no surprise there. 

Oh, it gets worse.  The Daily News -- whose new cover today (above) is oh so appropriate -- reports he wants to use the money (he wants about $5000) to fight Black Lives Matter and Hillary Clinton:

The Kel-Tec PF-9 is displayed on online auction site Gunbroker.com, with a picture of a court officer holding up the gun at his murder trial.

Zimmerman tagged the item with the Latin phrase, “Si Vis Pace Para Bellum,” which means “If you want peace, prepare for war.”

He also said a portion of the proceeds will go to help fight Black Lives Matter “violence against law enforcement officers” and to end “Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”

George said if it doesn't sell, he will put it in a safe for his future grandkids, this according to ABC News.

We know one way we can only wish this gun could be used....poetic justice at its finest.

UPDATE: According to the Orlando Sentinel:

"After an overwhelming amount of attention, GunBroker.com pulled the post just minutes before the auction was set to start at 11 a.m. on Thursday."

He's got broads in Atlanta...or whatever. Rapper Desiigner was tapped to perform his hit single “Panda” on “The Late Show” last night. Check out his performance inside….

New rapper Desiigner made his network television debut last night on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” with a hype performance of his smash hit “Panda.”

If you’re like us, you probably thought the “Panda” track was created by Future, but that’s not the case. The 19-year-old Brooklyn rapper, who's signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music, turned up the late night circuit, spitting the lyrics to his platinum track and dabbin’ all across the stage.

As for the Future carbon copy comparisons, the newcomer 18-year-old rapper and Future aren’t fond of one another, which is understandable. Not only do they sound a lot alike (that's what happens when your sound is a generic mumble with a lit beat), Desiigner performed a new song titled "Pluto," (the name of Future's debut album) at SXSW.

Future isn’t feeling the newbie biting his "style," so he called him out on it during a performance at Upstate New York in Syracuse last month. Hmph.

Anywho, check out Desiigner's performance last night:

When your wokeness surpasses 'woke' and enters bullying with racial and derogatory slurs territory, you may lose a platform or two.  Azealia Banks just learned this.  Deets inside...

A little more than a day after Azealia Banks went on a twitter tirade about Zayn Malik jocking her style and being a culture vulture while not admitting  -- in her eyes -- he is actually of the culture, her Twitter account has been deleted.  But has she already created a new one?

It all started with this:

 

Damn Zayn be mood boarding the fuck of out me.. I'm not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie

A photo posted by Azealia Banks (@azealiabanks) on May 10, 2016 at 9:15am PDT

Then she tossed out racial slurs including calling the former One Direction member a"curry scented b***h."  Chile...

Then, when 14-year-old Disney star Skai Jackson chimed in saying Azealia needed to simmer down, Ms. Banks lost it on her and it wasn't pretty.  Edges were yanked (by Skai) and inappropriate comments were made to a child (by Azealia).  Get that recap HERE.

Many went off about how Azealia is breaking the rules of Twitter, especially as a verified account, with her disparaging comments. 

Zayn's fans and One Directioners called for her head on a platter.  And account suspension.  They got the latter.

Azealia has also been canceled as the upcoming headliner for London's Born & Bred Festival.

The good news for Ms. Banks -- she still has her Instagram account to keep up the Donald Trump-like antics, and possibly a new Twitter account:

This new Twitter account has yet to be verified as her, but it's quite possible.

Now, if only Twitter could suspend the thousands of Twitter accounts run by bigoted and racist white men....

Rihanna is keeping a low profile as she treks through the streets of L.A. Peep her sidewalk catwalk flicks inside….

While Drake dined with Rihanna for a meal in L.A. last week (sparking dating rumors again), this time the Pop princess was spotted on a solo mission.  Well, her creative director of Fenty Corp, Ciarra Pardo, tagged along.

Last night, the “BBHMM” singer, who’s ANTI album became the first RIAA double platinum album of the year, served chic and sporty fab rocking a vintage Chanel (SS '94) lavender lace up dress that she paired with white lace up pointy Givenchy heels and a white oversized Christian Dior jacket for a night out on the town. She hit up celeb hotspot The Nice Guy for some good eats.

The Stance sock designer kept a low profile with a Harding Lane X Opening Ceremony cap pulled over her eyes as she exited the venue.

Cameras aren't permitted inside The Nice Guy, but someone scored a private flick of Rih chatting it up with guests.

Fans were lined up outside trying to grab an autograph from the superstar. And a few lucky ones were gifted with one.

RiRi will take her ANTI World Tour to Dallas tomorrow night (May 13th) for another sexy show.

After last night's big cliffhanger on "Empire," fans are in their feelings today.  And Jussie Smollett's latest Tweet is making people wonder if he's ever returning to the show. We've got the real deal inside.

Spoiler alert if you missed last night's episode...

Last night on "Empire," Jussie Smollett's character Jamal Lyon was shot!  We're not sure how it'll turn out for him (we may learn his fate on the finale next week), but Jussie's tweet last night had fans believing he wouldn't be returning.  he said:

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time w/ @EmpireFOX. I love you all. Truth. Time 2 make a record & some movies. #Empirepic.twitter.com/xeCONIhAlE

— Jussie Smollett (@JussieSmollett) May 12, 2016

From the sounds of it, he is seemingly announcing his exit from the show.  Or, he's simply saying he's had a great ride so far and since the cast has wrapped filming for the season, he's using his break before next season to record music and make movies.

He does have a record deal with Columbia, afterall.

Today, Entertainment Weeklyreports Smollett is not leaving the show because he indeed remains under contract.  However, his reps nor the show's reps have commented.

Last night saw a huge battle between Jamal and his father Lucious, and it was one for the books.  Jussie said about it:

This scene with one of my acting idols @terrencehoward was so damn difficult but so real. #empire

— Jussie Smollett (@JussieSmollett) May 12, 2016

As for the ratings, Deadline reports:

Although it was the night’s top-rated and most-watched show, the Fox series was even among 18-49s with last week’s second-lowest result ever. Viewership-wise, Empire was up 3% over its May 4 episode.

Next week is the season finale.

Steph and Ayesha Curry are serving us #RelationshipGoals with their cute hand signals during last night’s NBA semifinal game. In addition to cheering on her man, Ayesha also got the chance to meet Tyra Banks.

Come inside to see the Currys being all cutesy, plus coupledom shots of Andre 3000 and his girlfriend Dominique Maldonado…

We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: The Currys are the epitome of #RelationshipGoals!

Last night, the Golden State Warriors went head-to-head against the Portland Trailblazers for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals to determine if the series would continue or if the Warriors would advance to the next round.

Steph’s wife Ayesha was turned up in the stands cheering on her man and the Warriors team. During the game, Steph and Ayesha would throw up their cute hand signals at one another whenever the two-time MVP baller made a shot.

Check it:

Super cute.

Before Game 5 tipped off, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver presented Steph with the MVP Award for his 2nd straight season. He's the first NBA player in the league's history to cop a unanimous vote for the prestigious award. Congrats again Steph!

With Steph's help, the Warriors beat the Trailblazers 125-121 ending the series 4-1.

Now we see where their daughter Riley Curry gets her hand signals from. If you missed her hilarious entrance to her dad's MVP trophy ceremony a few days ago, check it below:

She was so unbelievably sweet, kind and gorgeous!!! #thankyouTyra !!! #dubnationlove.”

Rachel Roy makes her first public appearance since the Beyonce“Becky with the good hair” drama at a charity event. Actor Aldis Hodge and his mom were also in attendance. Meanwhile, “Top Model” alum Eugena Washington was named Playboy’s 2016 Playmate of the Year. More inside….

After cancelling a scheduled appearance (allegedly due to a “personal emergency”) amid the “Becky with the good hair” controversy last month, Rachel Roy is ready to show her face again.

Yesterday, the fashion designer made her first public appearance (outside of a few candids of her heading to the airport) at the 3rd Biennial Rebels with a Cause Fundraiser in Santa Monica, California.

Skipping out on posing it up on the red carpet, photogs spied Rachel chatting on her cell phone as she made her way inside. The mother-of-two rocked floral flare trousers paired with a black shirt and black blazer.

So get this, when all of the drama was stirring about Rachel being "Becky," TV chef Rachael Ray (yes, she spells her name that way) got caught in the crossfire when the BeyHive jumped the gun and thought Bey was referring to Ray as “Becky.” Remember how Rachael Ray’s IG comment section was also in shambles?

Well, the popular chef revealed recently she sent Rachel Roy a boozy gift to help get her through the bump in the road. Rachael Ray told US Weekly, "Rachel sent me flowers and I sent her a bottle, a big bottle of wine and a straw. [I was going to send Roy] Brunello di Montalcino, where I was married, but I said for our office to ask her office if she drinks red and if she didn't drink red, to send Grande Dame. So, I don't know actually which one she got. I wrote the card and she got the straw and the booze."

Well that was nice of her.

Meanwhile....

Straight Outta Compton hottie Aldis Hodge, who also stars on WGN's "Underground" series, is still celebrating Mother’s Day with his mom. The young actor and his mother Yolette Evangeline were spotted out and about before heading to the same charity event Rachel Roy attended.

Unlike Rachel, they did hit up the red carpet and were all smiles while doing so. Cute. 

Aldis is currently filming a film we’re excited to see, Hidden Figures. It’s the film that also stars Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson about a team of African-American women who provide NASA with important mathematical data needed to launch the program's first successful space missions.

We can expect the film to hit theaters January 13, 2017. Get ready!

As for what's poppin' in the modeling world....

Remember “Top Model” chick Eugena Washington who appeared in the 7th season of the hit modeling competition show? Yeah, she’s still making moves after finishing in the top three.

The 31-year-old gorgeous model was named Playboy's 2016 Playmate of the Year where she copped a $100,000 reward and the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. She posed it up with her new luxury ride outside the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, California.

"It's a great time for this," Eugena said about the honor. "The world is changing. I hope this brings different eyes to the magazine and new audiences... Right now, being a part of Playboy is what I want to do."

After flossing her skills (and body) in Playboy as the December 2015 Playmate of the Month, she landed Playmate of the Year. She’s the third black woman to be given the honor.  We can't even hate.

Congrats Eugena!

Christina Milan and Keke Wyatt are heating up the magazine circuit. Come inside to find out what C-Milli said about juggling her hectic schedule and Keke getting candid in a new interview inside….

Christina Milian is pretty busy with a hectic schedule these days. Outside of her reality show “Christina Milian Turned Up,” the singer/actress stars on the FOX series “Grandfathered,” she’s working on rebranding her new wine company Viva Diva Wines, she runs her We Are Pop Culture clothing line AND she’s a mom to her precious daughter Violet.

In the new issue of Canadian magazine GEORGIE, the pop star-turned-actress dishes on how she juggles motherhood and her career (“It’s not stressful”), why she likes to continue to make music (“There are no rules these days”), and how she landed her new role in the upcoming horror remake Rocky Horror Picture Show that she's currently filming in Toronto. 

Below are the highlights:

On juggling her career and motherhood:

“Actually, it’s a lot of fun. It’s not stressful,” she says, with breezy (and convincing) conviction.

“The only thing that I stress out about is, how am I going to make sure that I balance out my time for motherhood? How am I going to make this work? Because my daughter – that time means everything to her and to us. She’s all I got. We could work really hard but we could watch time fly, you know? Tomorrow’s not promised.”

On why she likes to continue to make music:

“I love putting out music and it really doesn’t have to be a giant body of work. There are no rules these days,” she says. “Like, let’s express ourselves! Let’s get creative! There are too many creative people in the world. If you’re creative, you don’t want to be bored. You will do anything to give out your creative flow and eventually, if you believe it, it will become something.”

On how she landed her role in Kenny Ortega’s remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show:

“I guess they couldn’t find a Magenta,” says Milian. “The dancers suggested to him that he should check me out. From there, I got a phone call asking if I would even be interested – I’ve always been a fan of Rocky Horror. After that, it was just talking about getting into this character, but [Ortega] was just really free about it and creative, and I got to come right on-board and start working on it directly. It’s been fun learning my character along the way because I was really hopping from one project to the next.”

When you have coins to hire as much help as you need, the juggle struggle is likely way less stressful.  And C-Milli is about her coins!

Peep her edgy black-and-white pictorial:

HOT.

Meanwhile...

C-Milli was recently spotted in a carefree zone totally makeup free while grabbing lunch in L.A. recently.

She cleans up well.

In another magazine....

Solful songstress Keke Wyatt gets raw and un-cut in a new interview with Rolling Out magazine. The cover girl, who recently released her 4th studio album titled Rated Love, opens up like she never as before about having low self-esteem, how she uses laughter as a defense mechanism and more.

Below are the highlights:

The laughter can be a defense mechanism. Does that apply to you?

Yes. I get real silly when I’m shy. I get real silly when I don’t know what else to do. I get silly when I’m nervous. But I get way different when I’m pissed or I’m hurt. … The nervous part is when I’m silly, goofy, trying to cover up.

You’re extremely beautiful.

I honestly don’t see that. I see someone who is not who they want to be. I see someone who I don’t know. I’m doing better though. I’m really doing better.

When you look in the mirror, what is it that you see?

Someone who has a really big heart. But nobody can see it because they’re too busy paying attention to what’s on the outside. And I don’t care for what’s on the outside, because I feel like people are looking at me and judging me.

Why don’t you like what you see on the outside?

I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. You have to ask the Lord.

So, do you consider yourself confident?

No, and that’s honest. Can’t find it. I don’t know why. As God is my witness, even with singing I’m just not confident. Like if somebody said. “Keke sing ‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow,’ ” and I’ll sing it. But the whole time I’m wondering, “Ugh, do they hear that?”

I’ve always thought that there’s nothing wrong with being uncomfortable with your gift because that kind of helps you stay humble.

Probably. I think that’s why the Lord allows this shadow over my vision towards myself. I don’t know. Because my mom tells me all the time, “If I looked like you, I would be a mess!” And I’m like, “Yeah, you would be a mess because you’d look like a mess.” And she’s like, “There is no way. You’re absolutely gorgeous. Your body is banging. You sing your behind off.” And I’m just like, “OK.”

Wow. Sometimes celebs are just like us...

NeNe Leakes is flossing her new banging bod and now she’s dishing on how she achieved her new trim figure. Find out how she did it inside….

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes shocked us all when she posted a new Instagram pic showing off a new tight and toned bod. In the new pic, she’s flossing her curves and her washboard abs in peacock bikini. Ok NeNe! We see you.

If you’re wondering how 48-year-old reality star shed a few extra pounds, she dished about it all. The self-proclaimed HBIC, who’s currently traveling on her One Woman Show stand-up comedy tour, spilled her diet secrets to E!

She credits her weight loss to eating smaller portions and going on a no-alcohol cleanse.

"Well, you know, I'm a funny eater," she said. "I'm a small-portion eater. I don't like to feel full. A lot of people when I meet them, they say, 'I thought you were this big woman.' I'm, like, 'I'm curvy, honey, but I am not real big.'"

NeNe opened up about what she struggles with as she tries to lose weight.

"My biggest problem has always been and will always be that I work all day and forget to eat and then I eat late at night with some cocktails," she said. "And I don't eat breakfast! Lately, I've been trying to be good and eat something small for breakfast to kick start my metabolism and I'm eating smaller dinners earlier in the evening."

"We all know what our weaknesses are and what we overindulge in so it's all about being mindful about what we eat and PORTION CONTROL," she added. "That's the key...because hunni, we like to eat! And having to deprive myself of anything is a no-no for a girl like me! Summer fun and sun is right around the corner so that's a great motivator for me!"

We can all relate.

Well there you have it. Make sure you eat breakfast, eat smaller portions and lay off so much alcohol and you too can look as good as NeNe in a two-piece bikini.  Allegedly.
