PARCHED? “Model” Roni Rose Caught Lusting After Steph Curry, But Says It’s NOT What You Think

The Internets were all in a frenzy after “model” Roni Rose was caught looking at Steph Curry all seductively from the sidelines.   More inside…

Social media was on fire last night after the NBA Finals sidelines seemingly became a little thotty.  A chick was spotted courtside looking seductively at Golden Warriors baller Steph Curry during Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

The sultry shot took over our timelines with countless memes and captions calling the chick extra thirsty for staring down a married man the way she was. The Thotty McThotterson labels were running rampant.

 

 

A video posted by TheYBF.com (@theybfdaily) on

 

After the flick/video clip started going viral, the young lady in the picture is now speaking up. She’s “model” Roni Rose, a ring girl for #ConquerFighting who goes to tons of Warriors games – both home and away games – and has taken a few pics with NBA ballers that she has shared on her Instagram account. She also has “booking info” in her profile, so that may explain why she flies private sometimes.

 photo thotty2.png

Anywho, she took to her IG page to address her lustful look at the Baby Face Assassin. She said the cameras caught her while she was just drinking her drink. She wrote: “Sooo I was just drinking my drink and this happened. I'm just giving the boys a little motivation I guess. Go warriors”

Motivation eh?

Well there you have it!

Her mother even chimed in on social media saying how sweet and nice her daughter is and that her boyfriend was sitting next to her the whole time.  Apparently that means she would never try to get at another man at that time...

By the way, the Warriors blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers with a final score 110 - 77. The Warriors are up in the series, 2-0. Game 3 will go down at the Q Arena in Cleveland on Wednesday, June 8th at 9pm EST on ABC.  Something tells us she may be booking her ticket as we speak...

Muhammad Ali’s final photoshoot showcases his fighting spirit as he posed with his fists in the air months before his death. Check out the spread, plus details on his body returning to his hometown inside…

The world was shook after learning boxing legend Muhammad Ali had passed away at the age of 74 after a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Now, the boxing legend’s last photoshoot has been released and it reminds us all of the three-time world heavyweight boxing champ's fighting spirit as he posed with his fists in the air. A true legend never dies.

Ali's daughter Hana Ali shared the last moments leading up to his death, revealing all of his organs had stopped but his heart was still beating. She wrote (via Twitter), “All of his organs failed but his HEART wouldn’t stop beating. For 30 minutes ... his heart just kept beating. No one had ever seen anything like it.”

British photographer Zenon Texeira flew to Ali’s home in Phoenix two months ago to photograph the icon, which ultimately became his last and final photoshoot. The beautiful images show his courageous spirit and undying determination that we all grew to love about the boxing champion.

Zenon reportedly said:

“It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to photograph one of the biggest icons this planet has ever seen.  Muhammad was a delight to photograph.  I feel blessed to have met my all-time sporting hero.  To capture his majesty with such intimacy fulfills a dream.”

The family will say their final goodbyes in a private funeral on Thursday and then his casket will be transported through the streets of Louisville on Friday (June 10th) before a public memorial service and private burial.

Ali will be laid to rest at the KFC YUM! Center at 2pm on Friday and the memorial service will be open to the public and live streamed at www.alicenter.org.

Chris Brown just copped a new tattoo: a face portrait of his baby girl Royalty. Check it out inside…

Following Royalty’s 2nd birthday (with two megabirthday bashes), Chris Brown found a special way to pay tribute to his baby girl.

Breezy went under the needle to cop a new portrait tattoo of his daughter’s face on his left shoulder while in Copenhagen, Denmark on his “One Hell of a Nite” tour overseas.

Before hitting the stage at The Forum in Copenhagen last night, the doting dad proved how much loves his daughter Royalty by inking her face on his back. He posted the pic on Instagram revealing there’s more work to be done on the portrait captioning, “Not finished but we workin #RORO”.

Check it:

 photo breezytat2.png

We're not sure why, but Breezy took the Royalty tattoo down from his account. Do you think the tattoo artist captured Royalty's essence?

Before he hits the stage in Hamburg, Germany on June 7th, the “Don’t Judge Me” singer is already making his rounds in Germany and it appears someone got Breezy all in his feelings. He made an IG video where he talks about wanting to call someone up and yell “F*ck You!”

Peep the clips:

Keyshia Cole Hangs Out With Floyd Mayweather + Russell Westbrook & Wife Nina Dine In Hollywood +Drake Attends Ayesha Curry’s Pop Up Restaurant + Did Waka & Tammy Break Up? +

Come inside to see flicks of Russell Westbrook and his wife Nina Westbrook hitting the Hollywood scene after the Thunder was kicked out of NBA Conference finals, Drake attending Ayesha Curry’s pop up restaurant and Keyshia Cole hanging out with Floyd Mayweather.

Also, get the deets on a possible breakup between Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera inside….

Oklahoma City Thunder fought to the very end making it to Game 7 in the NBA Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors. But unfortunately for them, the Warriors knocked them out of the series with an ending score of 96-88.

Now that OKC is out, the point guard is spending some much needed quality time with his wife Nina Earl Westbrook. The newlyweds, who tied the knot in August 2015, stepped out for the first time since the Thunder was eliminated from the series last night. They hit up celeb hotspot Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood for some good eats.

 photo westb1.jpg

While basketball was probably one of the last things on his mind while dining out with his wife, the OKC Thunder star did share what he thinks will take his team to a championship.

He told the Oklahoman:

"Mental toughness. I think we've gotten very, very well at that point, but I think to make the next step, we have to constantly do that throughout the whole season, not just late in the playoffs, because I thought we turned the page when it got to this time of year, but I think if we constantly keep that from start to finish, it makes it easier for us in certain situations."

Better luck next year!

Speaking of the Warriors....

 photo acur1.png

Over the weekend, Steph Curry’s wife Ayesha Curry, who loves to show off her cooking skills on social media, opened up a pop-up restaurant in San Francisco. And she had some support from a few of A-list celebrities along with a crew of her friends.

 photo acur2_1.png

While he’s in the heat of the NBA Finals against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, defending Warriors champ Steph Curry made sure he was front and center to support his wife’s endeavors. Love them!

And look who else popped up:

 

 photo acur4_1.png

Yep, Drake! Since his beloved Toronto Raptors aren't in the NBA Finals, the Young Money rapper stepped out to show Ayesha support and to chow down on some of her famous "global barbecue." Sounds yummy!

 photo acur3_1.png

Fun times!

In not so good news....

 photo waktam0.jpg

It appears rapper Waka Flocka Flame and his “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” wife Tammy Rivera may have called it quits. Tammy hit up her Instagram recently, posting a quote that alludes they may have called it quits…at least for now. The quote reads “Not everyone you lose is a loss. Unless it’s me then you f*cked up.”

When a fan said "Waka is lucky" under the pic, she responded with "WAS lucky."

Oh.

But she'll still rumble with a chick over him because she said he's still her friend and her loyalty runs deep. She clapped back at a fan saying:

 photo waktam1.jpg

The fan responded:

 photo waktam2.jpg

Hmm...sounds like someone needs a storyline for the next season. Just sayin'....

And in new "hook ups":

 photo keyshamay3.jpg

Are Keyshia Cole and Floyd Mayweather dating?

We’re not exactly sure, but they’re surely giving off vibes that something could be brewing between the two.

 photo keyshmay2.jpg

After getting over Birdman (who she was rumored to be dating), it seems Keyshia is spending her free time with Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Keyshia made it known she was hanging out in Las Vegas with Floyd last week. And now, their “trip” has extended into St Louis.

 photo keyshmay1.jpg

The “I Remember” singer posted up a few flirty videos of herself and Floyd. In one clip, Keyshia talks about getting ready for bed, but records Floyd dancing as she lays in the bed. Mmhmm…

It’s also interesting to note, Keyshia attended Floyd’s daughter’s sweet 16 and he copped the singer a new Mercedes-Benz after a lavish shopping spree.

Floyd and his chicks....

Kimbo Slice, famed MMA fighter and boxer, has sadly passed away.  Details inside...

In surprising news, MMA Fighter, boxer and occasional actor Kimbo Slice has died at the age of 42 today. 

 photo KimboSliceDanielGealevAnthonyMundine78gMpa38Xr4l_zpshby1xtdc.jpg

Bellamator CEO said in a statement this evening:

We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice, a beloved member of the Bellator family.  One of the most popular MMA fighters ever,  Kimbo was a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that transcended the sport.

Outside of the cage he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man. His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ferguson family and all of Kimbo's friends, fans, and teammates.

 

 photo Screen Shot 2016-06-07 at 12.07.35 AM_zps5g8ck9oy.png

Kimbo Slice was born Kevin Ferguson in Nassau, Bahamas and raised in Florida.  He rose to fame as a viral streetfighter after attending both Bethune-Cookman University and the University of Miami, where he held an athletic scholarship and studied criminal justice.

In August 2010, he announced his intent to start a professional boxing career.  He told ESPN:

"I feel like a baby all over again. I'm thinking about this at night. I'm gonna be a problem in the heavyweight division. I'm going to be coming in with a bad demeanor. I want to see what it's like to break some ribs, break a jaw with one punch. This is a career move. I love fighting. I like to knock people the fuck out. I love engaging. Maybe some people think I'm crazy."

He went on to win several matches.

In 2015 Kimbo signed a multi-fight MMA deal with Ballamator and had two more MMA fights, his last one just this past February against Dhaffir Harris.  He won the fight due to Dhaffir collapsing, but the outcome was changed to No Contest once Kimbo's pre-fight drug test came back positive.

 

You got baby nuts bro

On Monday, Kimbo was rushed to the hospital and died late Monday night reportedly of heart failure.

He was a popular heavyweight fighter and boxer and his death indeed comes as a surprise.

He's survived by fiance Antionette Ray and six children.

Serena Williams Talks Equal Pay For Women, Tennis After 30 & Drake In GLAMOUR Magazine’s July 2016 Issue

Serena Williams is considered the world’s greatest athlete, but she’s more like our best friend in our head. Get the inside scoop on how she feels about unequal pay for women, playing tennis after 30 and Drake in a new cover story. Get it all inside….

Tennis champion Serena Williams has literally been “serving” life on the tennis court for the last 20 years. Although she missed out on nabbing another grand slam title under her belt at the 2016 French Open, she still holds more Grand Slam titles than any man or woman currently playing. And that in itself is a true testament of her determination and will to be great.

The 21-time Grand Slam winner is looking fit a fabulous on GLAMOUR magazine’s July 2016 cover, laced in "tennis white." In the cover story, with the interview by Melissa Harris-Perry, Serena’s humble and joyous spirit shines through as she talks about unequal pay for women, what it’s like playing tennis after 30 and rumors that Drake was the reason she was defeated at the 2015 U.S. Open.

 photo serenaglam2.jpg

Below are the highlights:

MHP: You have been called “the world’s greatest athlete.” Do you welcome that label? Does it feel accurate to you?

SW: Oh my gosh, I don’t know. That’s so hard to say. I try to be the best that I can be every day. I have bad days. I had a bad day the other day. I hit for only, like, 30 minutes, and I stormed off the court. But that was the best I could do on that day. So am I the greatest? I don’t know. I’m the greatest that I can be.

MHP: You and Venus were the original black-girl magic. People who do not know you feel a personal stake in every match you play.

SW: That’s something. I meet people who say, “Girl, I watch every match, and I pray for you.” I feel that energy and those prayers. Sometimes when I’m down on the court, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, “They want me to win. Is there anything else I can give?” It encourages me to do better, to fight harder.

MHP: Does it also make losing harder?

SW: No one takes a loss harder than I do. In any sport. I hate losing more than I like winning.

MHP: Twitter ate Drake alive after your loss at the U.S. Open [then rumored to be her boyfriend, he was accused of having distracted her]. Is that fair?

SW: No. I don’t think that was fair. I’m the one who’s playing, who’s making mistakes or making winners. I’m not one to blame anyone else for anything. And I don’t think anyone else should either. I played a really good opponent that day. And I wasn’t at my best.

MHP: You’re going to be 35. Some folks believe your thirties, especially for athletes, are meant to be this time of wrapping up. What about being in your thirties makes tennis harder, or easier?

SW: Who says that your thirties is when you’re supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule! I was talking to my mom one time, like, “Gosh, I’m 30.” And she’s like, “In your thirties you’re even stronger than in your twenties.” I didn’t believe her, but I have played better in my thirties. And I played pretty well in my twenties, don’t get me wrong! But my consistency is better, my momentum is better, my wins are quicker

MHP: The U.S. women’s soccer team has been challenging inequity in women’s sports, fighting for equal pay. It’s an issue facing NCAA women in multiple fields [including tennis, where women make 80 cents for each dollar men earn]. Want to weigh in on this?

SW: These sports have a lot of work to do. And I really hope that I can be helpful in that journey because I do believe that women deserve the same pay. We work just as hard as men do. I’ve been working, playing tennis, since I was three years old. And to be paid less just because of my sex—it doesn’t seem fair. Will I have to explain to my daughter that her brother is gonna make more money doing the exact same job because he’s a man? If they both played sports since they were three years old, they both worked just as hard, but because he’s a boy, they’re gonna give him more money? Like, how am I gonna explain that to her? In tennis we’ve had great pioneers that paved the way—including Venus, who fought so hard for Wimbledon to pay women the same prize money they pay men, and Billie Jean King, who is one of the main reasons Title IX exists.

MHP: What is the legacy that you want to leave?

SW: I never thought about leaving a tennis legacy. I always thought about leaving a legacy of fulfillment, living out your dreams, and giving back. I’m proud to have opened [two] schools in Africa and one in Jamaica [through the Serena Williams Fund and its partners]. I was given a lot. I was given two parents. That’s already starting above a lot of kids. And then I was given the opportunity to play tennis and parents who supported that. I feel I can give back.

So profound.

Newly Divorced Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa Get Cozy In The Strip Club After Rumored Breakup With Boyfriend Terrence Ross

So what do we have here? Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa getting all cutesy in the strip club amid rumors that she broke up with her NBA boyfriend Terrence Ross? Sure looks like it. More inside….

Exes Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are taking co-parenting to a new level. It's not a shocker to see them together as they have been spotted together on numerous occasions, but those times usually involved their son Sebastian.

This time, they were spending time together sans their baby boy to celebrate their divorce being finalized!

TMZ breaks down how everything was split reporting:

Amber and Wiz filed their settlement agreement with the court, and the headline ... she gets a cool million under the prenup. Wiz has already paid $356k, so he still owes her $644k.

But Amber gets more ... $14,800 a month in child support for their 3-year-old son, Sebastian, with whom they share legal and physical custody.

As for Wiz ... he gets the Pennsylvania home and 10 cars, including a '69 Chevelle, a '68 Camaro, a '62 and a '64 Impala and a Porsche, of course, of course.

The former lovebirds were spied making it rain on strippers at Ace of Diamonds strip club in L.A. last night to celebrate:

That’s not all they were doing either. Sebastian’s parents were also getting rather cozy in the VIP section. And here are the receipts:

This all comes on the heels of rumors that the “How To Be A Bad B*tch” author and her NBA baller boyfriend Terrence Ross have called it quits after three months of dating. The Toronto Raptors player posted up a cryptic message (and then deleted) on his Instagram yesterday about letting someone go. He posted:

 photo wiza4.png

Hmm...

While Amber hasn't commented on the possible breakup via her social media accounts, she did pop up in the comments on this Instagram user's account:

 photo wiza5.png

Sounds like she's letting the world know she's single...and possibly ready to mingle. Damn. It was all good between the two...about a week ago!

Hmph.

Deshauna Barber is our new Miss USA! Go behind-the-scenes with the American soldier-turned-pageant queen as she makes her first round of media rounds inside….

VSU alum and American soldier Deshauna Barber has been crowned Miss USA making history as the first Army officer to win the pageant. And now, she’s making her first round of televised media appearances.

 photo usa4.png

After nabbing the crown in Las Vegas Sunday night, the 26-year-old Fayetteville native hopped on a private jet to NYC ahead of a whirlwind of television interviews and appearances. She snapped it up in a cute blue jumpsuit before boarding her VIP flight.

After touching down in the Big Apple:

For one of her first stops, the YBF pageant queen sat down for an interview on “LIVE! with Kelly” (with guest co-host James Corden) to chat it up about winning the competition and how her life is moving 1,000 miles a minute.

The logistics commander (who’s currently a lieutenant and hopes to make captain next month) revealed she felt confident during the pageant, but made sure to humble herself so that she didn’t seem arrogant.

“It was awesome that I made it this far,” Deshauna said. “I won!”

When her name was announced as the winner, she said she was overjoyed that the judges chose her out of the other 50 contestants with the honor of being Miss USA.

“I was thinking how surreal [it was],” she said. “I was just so happy to touch the crown on my head and have the sash going across my chest. I couldn’t have been any happier.”

By the way, she’s the 3rd Miss District of Columbia to become Miss USA. Woot!

During the chat, Deshauna revealed she committed to the military when she was 17-years-old through the ROTC program at her alma mater Virginia State University and she commissioned as an officer in 2011. She also dished on both of her parents serving in the army (along her siblings) and how they met while in service. Aww…

Deshauna moved to NYC yesterday and said that she’s currently roommates with Miss Universe in Manhattan. Sweet!

Peep her interview above.

Continuing her rounds:

Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera have confirmed their marriage is DUNZO. Meanwhile, Trai Byers and Grace Gealey were serving up #RelationshipGoals and a pregnant Angela Simmons spent some quality time with her godson. More inside….

Yesterday, we tipped you off that rapper Waka Focka and his wife Tammy Rivera may have called it quits. And now, it’s official.

After posting up a cryptic message about a possible breakup days earlier, Tammy came back to social media to confirm she and Waka have parted ways after being married for two years. She wants everyone to know, despite the rumors of him cheating on her, their breakup had NOTHING to do with a sidechick and that they’re still good friends.

The “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star took to her IG account to clear the air:

 photo wakt2.png

Waka also addressed the breakup on his Instagram account (that he has since set to private) saying, “To keep it all gangsta, me and Tammy just split apart. Nobody cheated on nobody, nobody’s mad at nobody. We just grew to our differences.”

 photo wakt3.png

He also posted:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-06-07 at 7.09.57 PM.png

Apparently, there were rumors that Waka and Tammy split because Waka was allegedly cheating on her, mainly with Chief Keef's baby mama Simone Patton after she publicly came forward to announce she Waka's sidechick. Oh?

Simone also threatened to dig up some receipts:

 photo Screen Shot 2016-06-07 at 7.10.19 PM.png

But according to Tammy & Waka, she had nothing to do with their split.

Meanwhile, Tammy made a few SnapChat videos to address all of the dudes sliding in her DMs after learning she and Waka had called it quits. In a nutshell, she's not checking for a new dude right now.

She said:

 

 

Waka also took to his SnapChat to blast Simone for calling herself the "sidechick of the year":

 

Hmm...sounds like a PR stunt for a new "LAHH" storyline to us, but time will tell.

ACTORS ON ACTORS: Kerry Washington Reveals She Was Fired Twice For Not Being “Hood” Enough + Tracee Ellis Ross & Courtney B. Vance Talk Race On Their Shows

Kerry Washington, Aziz Ansari, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Courtney B. Vance sat down to interview one another on some real issues that plague Hollywood for Variety. Find out all they said inside….

By now you know stereotyping in Hollywood is no secret. “Scandal” star Kerry Washington and “Master of None” star and executive producer Aziz Ansari have faced being stereotyped for roles all throughout their careers.  Now, their dishing their horror stories in Variety’s fourth season of “Actors on Actors.”

The "Confirmation" star and executive producer revealed she was fired from two TV pilots because she wasn’t “black enough” before landing her gig on “Scandal.” She said:

“Before ‘Scandal,’ I was actually cast in two other pilots. Both went to series, but I was fired and recast,” Washington said. “For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more ‘girlfriend,’ more like ‘hood,’ more ‘urban.'”

Kerry soon found out that stereotyping in Hollywood didn’t just stop at race.

“I’ve had friends of mine say like they’re tired of ‘gayface’ and I was like, ‘What’s gayface?’ They were like, ‘It’s the gay version of blackface, like come in and be more effeminate,”‘ Kerry said.

This doesn’t surprise us.

You can check out their full conversation below:

In another interview..

“black•ish” star Tracee Ellis Ross and “People vs. OJ Simpson” star Courtney B. Vance sat down for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series to chop it up about dealing with racial issues on their respective shows.

Below are a few highlights:

Vance: Because you’ve got to laugh through the pain, too. That’s why the show is so beautiful — because as a people, we have gone through so much. I was 7 and 8 when Martin Luther King was shot and Malcolm X and Bobby Kennedy and John. How did our parents live, survive?

Ross: And hold on and thrive. This is the part that always baffles me. There are times when I think of being a black person in this country, and me being a woman. There’s a moment in your show when he says, “In 1988, that was not considered rape.” And you think of the Robert Shapiro character in this piece that you are in, saying please don’t do this now, as if it is you being burdensome, and how come you can’t just leave this alone, this race thing. How courageous of “Black-ish” to be touching on these topics.

Vance: What a beautiful thing that on a TV comedy seen by millions every week, we can talk about it. I mean for the longest time…

Ross: We have not.

Vance:… we didn’t talk about it. Our parents talked about it, and we heard it, just like the children in your show. But now we’re watching that conversation happen on television — and all people can watch it. Black, white…

Ross: That’s one of the things that’s amazing to me. “Black-ish” is set in current times. So doing a police-brutality episode in current times, when kids are watching our show, it gives them an access point to have these kinds of conversations as a family. That’s one of the things I love: People watch as a family. And we have all these different generations. It’s character-based, so we’re not touching on these things because they’re circumstantial or situations, but because this is how these people would be interacting. What’s amazing to me watching “People v. O.J.” is how similar these topics are. How do you tell the stories with the nuance they deserve? Because these are topics that have so much nuance in them — so much gray.

Check a clip from their interview below:

One time for the brown girls taking over the world!

Super funny “SNL” star Leslie Jones is giving us Holiday in July feels on 1 of 4 covers for the newest ELLE magazine issue.

The comedienne, who’s gearing up for the premiere of her new movie Ghostbusters (July 15th), graces the cover of the inaugural Women In Comedy issue along with her co-stars Melissa McCartney, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig.

 photo leselle2.jpg

The 48-year-old actress is proving there’s more to her than just comedy. She can slay a magazine cover with the best of them because face it, she looks gorgeous.  And she's slapping "traditional beauty" (rolls eys) in the face with her utter fabness.

For the cover story, she sat down with ELLE magazine writer Ben Dickinson to dish on being the funny girl. She said,

"I just knew that I was funny, and I knew that it was just a matter of time. I didn't know what was going to actually happen—this is definitely way bigger than I thought—but I knew there was no way I was going to be that funny and nobody was going to notice it."

You can read her full interview when it hits newsstands on June 21st.

Leslie got plenty of love from her fellow comedians on social media who made it known that what looks like an overnight success is anything but:

“Power” stars Naturi Naughton and Lela Loren are heating up the magazine circuit with their new UPSCALE magazine cover. Both ladies are looking smoking hot in all red ensembles as they gear up for the season 3 premiere of the hit STARZ series that’s set to debut July 17th.  By the way, this is about as close as we'll see these two get -- we all know wives and mistresses don't kiki it up.  Ha.

Below are a few highlights from the cover story:

On how they nabbed their roles:

Naturi: “One minute I thought I wouldn’t get this job, mainly because in casting, they thought I would read young opposite Omari. I got a callback a month and a half later and went through about three or four auditions total. I left it all on the floor in my last audition and got a call the next day saying I got the job of Mrs. St. Patrick.”

Lela: “After my first audition, I will never forget Courtney kicking everybody out of the room, turning to me and saying, ‘Okay, I think you’re f***ing great.’ I had heard so many nos up to then that I didn’t even know how to absorb it.”

On how the word “power” relates to both the show and their personal lives:

Naturi:“Power is seeing, believing and loving all that is you, your life and your existence. It’s a marriage of strength, fearlessness and success. It’s looking at yourself and being pretty damned okay with what you see.”

Lela: “I don’t know if there is a succinct definition. I certainly don’t have one. Something about the word ‘power’ feels isolating and greedy. I find myself shunning the idea of it. At best, power is simply a byproduct, harnessed energy; the power of love, the power of teamwork, etc. Pursuing it on its own, well, my best definition of it is, a black hole.”

Keke Palmer and Rihanna are heating up the Internet with their sexy new vacay shots. Meanwhile, Chanel Iman is giving back to underprivileged kids in Africa. More inside…

It’s almost summer and Keke Palmer is already heating up Summer Sixteen.

In the past few weeks, the “Scream Queens” star has been showing off on social media in some skimpy bikinis. Now, she’s serving up a full photoshoot for the “kidz.”

The Brotherly Love star has been hitting the gym heavy and doing yoga to gear up for a new role she’s starring in. The 22-year-old starlet is working on a new independent project titled PIMP that she has been in the works since she was 18.

She dished on the new project on her website:

Pimp is a film I’ve been working on since I was 18! That’s when I initially auditioned and got the part .. Since then, like with many indie films, we had to fight to find financing. My mother and I stayed with the project the whole way and even though I’m 22 soon to be 23, it was worth the wait! Not just saying that, but honestly I needed time to grow and I think also to see what it takes to really get a movie made. It is such a humbling experience, and I’m excited to start the production and really dig into this character!!!!! My character Wednesday is so different than any other character I’ve played, and it’s also on the heavier side as far as the material and the “world” of the movie. I have been training for the last few months with my trainer Gunnar and I can barely recognize my body hahahaha. If u have peeped my snapchats u know what I mean!! I am so ready for this challenge, I can’t wait to show u all the finishing touches.

 

Can't wait to see the final product.

Kevin Hart & The Rock’s Overseas ‘Central Intelligence’ Takeover + Serena Williams Is Finally The World's Highest Paid Female Athlete

Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson are on the promo trail overseas for their new film. Peep their pics, plus get the deets on Serena Williams becoming the world’s highest paid female athlete inside…

 photo CIRK4.jpg

Before Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have us all in stitches in their new comedy Central Intelligence, the guys are heavy on the promo trail overseas.

The comedian and former wrestler were headed out to make their media rounds when they saw a double-decker bus outside as they left their hotel. This prompted an impromptu photoshoot as photogs weren’t far behind to snap a few pics of the actors. And as you can see, the guys didn't hesitate to whip out their cellphones to snap a few flicks and videos for their personal stash.

 photo CIRK1.jpg

 photo CIRK3.jpg

 photo CRITTH1.jpg

Continuing their rounds, Kev and The Rock jetted to Madrid, Spain to hit up the film’s photocall inside the Villamagna Hotel.

In case you missed, the film is about two high school classmates reuniting 20 years later. The Rock's character is a CIA agent who needs Kevin's character --who is an accountant-- to help him save the compromised U.S. spy satellite system.

 photo chriskk2.jpg

The guys didn’t waste anytime while they were overseas. They also swooped into Berlin, Germany for a private screening during the “Social Media Night” at Kulturbrauerei. And fans were lined up to nab an autograph from the Nike spokesmen.

Central Intelligence hits theaters June 17th.

Speaking of Nike….

 photo kevshoe.png

It’s official!

Nike is gearing up to release the Nike Free Train Instinct “Hart” sneaker this weekend. This is the first sneak peek at the black colorway sneaker after he unveiled the red and blue colors (in honor of his kids) earlier this year. The black on black sneakers will follow the same theme of inspirational messages plastered across the shoe.

 photo kevshoe2.jpg

“This shoe is bigger than the fashion behind it,” Kevin told HypeBeast. “It fits my training needs. It’s built for everything — running, jumping, cutting and lifting… The Nike Free Train Instinct Hart is just one part of the #MoveWithHart journey that I hope helps inspire millions to become the best version of themselves through physical fitness. Every time you see or put on these sneakers, I hope it’s just a constant reminder to always put your best foot forward, to never quit and to know that you can reach your training goals and achieve personal greatness.

The Nike Free Train Instinct “Hart” will officially be released on June 11th. Will you be copping a pair?

In #BossChick news...

 photo serpaid.jpg

We’ve wondered for years how Serena Williams wasn’t the highest paid female athlete being that she’s such a beast on and off the tennis court. Previously, tennis player Maria Sharapova has held the title of being the highest paid female athlete over the last 11 years even after Serena dominated her in NUMEROUS matches, beating her in every meeting since 2005.

But now, we no longer have to wonder.

Forbes announced the 21-time Grand Slam winner is now the world’s highest paid female athlete earning a whopping $28.9 million in prize money and endorsements overtaking her longtime opponent Maria Sharapova. Thanks to Serena winning three grand slams in 2015 and her major partnership with Chase (along with her Gatorade deal and her HSN clothing line), she now reigns as the No. 1 female athlete.  And we couldn’t be happier for her!

Get those coins Rena!
