Bobby Brown hit 30 Rock Plaza this morning for a special Memorial Day Concert on The "TODAY" Show. Watch the clips inside.....

Though his voice was not up to par, Bobby Brown put in a good faith effort this morning during a concert for The TODAY Show.  He performed his new track "Don't Let Me Die" "Every Little Step" and "My Perogative."

TODAY's concert was one of his most high profile appearances on network television since the passing of Whitney Houston.  During the interview with Peter Alexander, Bobby denied that his new track was about Whitney Houston saying it was about his fiancee Alicia.  He added his new album is about being clean from drugs (7 years) and the blessings in his life.

He said he isn't doing reality tv now and is focused on his new album The Masterpiece.

Also, NBC correspondent Tamron Hall tweeted, Hanging with @todayshow fam this morn! The king of R&B Bobby Brown is here and his fans are already lined up waiting !!!@kingbobbybrown

Andre 3000 is over in Dublin filming the Jimi Hendrix biopic.  Get deets on the film and see Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx hosting a pool party in Las Vegas.  

Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 (who celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday) began filming All Is by My Side, a Jimi Hendrix biopic, today in Dublin, Ireland.

Andre 3000 wants fans to be surprised by the film so he avoided photos so everything will be fresh when it hits the screen.

But when it hits the screen, don't expect to hear Jimi's original music.  Apparently, the estate is not on board with the biopic.  The estate released a statement saying,

 "Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a 'biopic' in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or composition."

Andre 3000 will likely have to record covers of all Jimi songs used in the film.  But hey.....isn't that what we wanted anyway?

And in Las Vegas...........

Yesterday, Ne-Yo hosted Beach Life's Rehab Pool in the Hard Rock Hotel.

He tweeted, Chill day in my hometown Vegas, sipping @Malibu_Red at Rehab Pool. Life is good! #Compound - R.E.D 9/18/12

He also paraded around with a bevy of beauties and got the crowd hyped.

Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx was the party's other host and he also hyped the crowd.

Chris Brown is involved in a few beefs with other industry artists right now.  Get the deets on what's going on between him and Meek Mill and Raz B!

The word on the street is that Meek Mill got his verse on Chris Brown's "Don't Judge Me" dropped from the Fortune disc because Chris got pissy that Meek was hanging with Rihanna at a strip club. 

Chris wasn't too pleased that Rihanna stopped by Meek Mill's party at Club Perfections last month so he bumped Meek off the disc.  Over the weekend, Meek tweeted,

We shall see how this one play's out.  But you know how pissy Chris can be......

And in other Chris beefs..........

Former B2K member Raz B has allegedly written a book called This Boy's Life.  We say allegedly because we have not been able to verify existence of the book with the publishing company or Raz B's reps.  But rumor has it that the book features explosive allegations about former B2K members (Omarion, Lil' Fizz, J Boog), Bow Wow, Ray J, Chris Stokes and Chris Brown all being gay.

On Chris the book says,

“They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn’t think about that when he attacked me online. I have a friend that’s very close to Chris’ camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when Chris started going in calling people ‘gay’ and ‘fags’ I just dropped Andre Merritt’s name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up.”

Chris responded (his tweets were later deleted) to the alleged book saying,

If this book ever hits shelves, the fallout could be very interesting.  We'll keep you posted.

Celebs flocked to Atlantic City this Memorial Day weekend to see Beyonce make her big BACK TO BUSINESS return to the stage.  And to do a little work, party it up and hit the beaches.  We've got how Jennifer Hudson, Bey (of course), Luke James, Christina Milian & Kevin Hart spent their fab Holiday weekend inside...

Jennifer Hudson rocked a casual and cute black/yellow look to hit up Beyonce's last concert Monday night at the Revel Resort and Casino (a RIDICULOUSLY fab place by the way) in Atlantic City, NJ.  Somebody looked happy to be out and about for the Holiday.  And she tweeted about her former Dreamgirls co-star Queen Bey saying:

Omg best memorial day ever ! Glad I spent it at @Revelresorts at queen B concert ! Flawless!!

Sweet!  Looking great Jenny!

And speaking of the woman of the weekend--Beyonce gave four flawless theatrical performances throughout four nights for her big return to the stage.  The 30-year old isn't stopping there either.  She told Sunday night's crowd (and we heard it with our own ears) she's back in the lab working on new music.  Toward the end of the concert, she asked the crowd what they wanted to hear because she's ready to get back into the studio:

"What do y'all want?  Y'all want to dance?!  You want some ballads?  A little rock & roll?  Soul?  How about I just do it all!"

We won't be complaining.  She also told various audiences that she lost 60 pounds of post-baby weight recently by eating a strict diet (lots of lettuce) and lots of working out.  And for a chick who performed--hard--for over 2 hours straight, with no intermission and only a couple minutes for costume changes, she couldn't help but melt off the baby weight.  Chick looked simply fabulous this weekend.

By the way, First Lady Michelle Obama, who attended one of Bey's concerts this weekend, said on "Good Morning America" this mon:

“Anybody who’s got talent, I’m all for.  But Beyoncé has just been a tremendous supporter of ‘Let’s Move!’ Without asking, she reformulated ['Get Me Bodied'] to do a flash mob for kids across this country.”

“Beyoncé stepped up in a way that so many of our celebrities and athletes are stepping up on behalf of this issue, so I love her to death and was glad to be out there moving my body with her."

Meanwhile, Beyonce's opening act--up and coming singer Luke James--was spotted partying it up inside Revel's Ultra Lounge:

The "I Want You" singer revealed that he was more than ecstatic to be tapped as her opener.  And if you haven't heard him sing yet, get with it.

Elsewhere in Atlantic City, Christina Milian partied at The Pool After Dark at Harrah's Resort with Kim K. (not pictured):

Had this been anybody else, the outfit would have looked cheap.  But we can't help but love cutie Chris.

And Kevin Hart, who performed at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City Sunday night, tweeted his plaque after getting awarded on stage the Key to the City by the city's mayor, Lorenzo Langford.

And he tweeted how much fun he was having with his "rib" (as he called her) Oniko at Mrs. Carter's Saturday concert saying:

I'm watching Beyonce perform and I am speechless right now........her performance and production is amazing!!!! Woooooooow
Atlantic City nights with my RIB @Neekibaby

Loves it!

NeNe Leakes (shown above saying "I Love You" in sign language) delivered a speech at Georgia Association of the Deaf's Deaf Children’s Literacy Benefit Gala over the weekend.  See pics of NeNe inside with her "date"--ex-husband Greg Leakes.

"RHOA" star Nene Leakes delivered a speech at the Georgia Association of the Deaf presents Deaf Children’s Literacy Benefit Gala recently.

NeNe spoke about her rise to fame and time on "Celebrity Apprentice" to the patron in the room who raised money for deaf children.

And look who NeNe brought out as her date.......ex-husband Greg Leakes.

Meanwhile, chick is still "very rich" recently tweeting, Shopping n Beverly Hills! I'm looking @ homes tomorrow...Maybe I will move here.  Sounds like she's campaigning to join the cast of RHOBH.

Gala Co-Chair, Christopher Patterson said, "Georgia Association of the Deaf (GAD) is so fortunate to have the support of so many talented and selfless individuals who will help us create this magical experience for our Deaf Children.”

BONUS:  

Though she may be loud and "in your face" NeNe Leakes is outraged by all the fighting on reality tv.  During a chat with VIBE.com, she expressed her dismay with where "BBW" and other shows are headed and adds that you have NEVER seen a physical fight on "RHOA."  She also dishes on "The New Normal" and her personal growth.  Here are the highlights:

VIBE: Are you still shooting the next Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Nene Leakes: I am currently shooting. We’ve been shooting for about three weeks. We have a long way to go. Everybody wasn’t expecting me to come back for this season. It was really a hard decision for me to even think of coming back because I was so tired of the whole reality thing. And not just being tired of it—I had other things in the works. But I think it’s a good idea that I’ve come back for season 5. I would love to just walk away, but when I sit down and talk with my team, it’s not… If you can do it all, then just do it all. Why leave the show when you can still do the show and you can still do The New Normal? So we’re going to see how doing everything works. We’ll see what happens. We’re taking a little bit of a chance.

You seemed a little calmer in the most recent season of Housewives. Was that just personal growth?
I really think it is. We’re looking at our fifth season—and I shot the pilot so I feel like I’m in my sixth season. When you have done it over and over and over again in the same negativity, it just wears you down. And I just feel like after a while, I just can’t do this job no more. Like, seriously? That’s how I felt sitting there at the reunion. Like, this is just too petty. Yes, I love reality TV, and I believe that you can do reality shows and have drama. You gotta have drama and entertainment, but some of the stuff has driven me insane. I do really think that it’s personal growth. It’s almost like being in a relationship and you’re like, I done taken all I can take and I can’t take no more. I sort of felt the same way with the show—I’ve taken everything I can take, I’m just tired. But I don’t know how interesting I’ll be this season. ’Cause I feel like I got boring. I gotta get some pep in my step [laughs]. We’re all sitting there and it’s all this silly, petty, who said what and I’m just sitting there and people are expecting me to really say something and I’m just thinking, what do you say. I think you almost look better when you sit there and look at ’em like they’re crazy.

I don’t know if you’ve been keeping track of Basketball Wives. Our current cover features some reality stars. What's your take on whether it’s gotten out of hand? You mentioned that we always need drama. But the physical fighting, some people have said it’s gone too far.
It’s gone way too far. The truth is the truth. It has just gone too far. Too many fights, my God! I can see if there was one here or there. And I always say to people when they say something about reality, you can say whatever y’all want about reality TV, Atlanta Housewives, we don’t do that. We definitely have had our verbal fights, but never physical fights. I can’t believe the fighting and the bullying. It looks bad. It really looks bad. I don’t like when people say it affects Black women or the Black community. I think it affects all communities. I think it looks bad on women; it looks bad on everybody. It’s just so sad; it’s so crazy to me. When I look at it, I just can’t believe it. And, you know, I’m friends with Jennifer [Williams] and she’s on Basketball Wives. I can’t believe it. I almost, you know when I watch, I’m like, “How much do they paid?” [Laughs] My goodness. And then I think about—they can’t want to do too much in their careers. A good ole argument, everybody likes that every now and then to tune into, but you couldn’t be trying to have too much in your career because that stuff, it don’t work. You can’t represent a product and be that way. That just doesn’t work. That’s one of the reasons when I’m sitting on my show, I’m thinking I’m just tired. Because at some point this can’t even help my future. You know, you would want to think that it would help your future.

Jennifer Williams recently posted a blog that caused certain sites to assume she was leaving "Basketball Wives."  So reports hit the net today saying she was making an exit.  However, Jennifer's rep confirmed to TheYBF.com that the rumors are false.  She is indeed returning for season 5.  Deets inside...

After all of the drama this season, it's not shocking that Jennifer Williams is fed up with "BBW."  She recently posted a blog that some folks thought was her way of saying goodbye to the show.  She said in part:

It has been an epic season of Basketball Wives full of ups and downs, backstabbing, fallouts amongst friends, and assault and battery along with some tears. More than enough drama for me. I can definitely say with pure pleasure I am happy to see this season come to an end.
.....
In relation to the Basketball Wives cast, I feel some of the ladies who claimed to be my friend and claimed to be neutral made snide and slick remarks along with snickering about me. This proved to me that they indeed were not at all neutral. This season for me seemed no matter what I did it wasn’t going to be right, so I stopped trying. Tahiti was the last straw for me, we were half way around the world and I didn’t go there to argue or fight. I just wanted peace, but soon realized that wasn’t going to happen unless I was secluded from those that were determined to argue and fight. Arguing with former friends, slinging dirt back and forth was something I could have done in Miami not there. And what ever happened to the “G Code”? Whether the validity of things being said about me was true or false, as a friend there are certain things I would NEVER do. If you tell me something in confidence friend or foe, whether I don’t speak to you 20 years from now I will respect that and you will never have to worry about me repeating a word. The funny thing about arguing is choosing your words wisely because you can never take them back especially with millions of viewers watching. Although I have been through a number of emotions regarding my friendship with Evelyn dissolving, I have not and will not participate in the mud slinging. Over 10 years we have shared good times, bad times, marriages, engagements, break ups, moving, vacations, holidays together, wins, loses and much more. As we all have witnessed before, unfortunately our relationship has not survived the pressures and effects of a reality show and all that comes with it. As difficult and hurtful as it may be, I will continue to be resolute with my decision to respect what our friendship was and not where is has gone.
....
Even though this has been a trying season, I hope at some point my cast mates can get along and be civil with one another. I will always appreciate Basketball Wives Season 4 and this time in my life for the abundant lessons learned and personal growth I was forced to face. We all have our own individual imperfections, but I also believe we all have a good heart. As women of color it is important we uplift and support one another. I wish all my cast mates continued success and best wishes with their future endeavors.

Regarding the stories around the net saying 'Jennifer Williams is waving goodbye to Basketball Wives,' her reps exclusively told TheYBF.com those reports are false, saying:

"Jennifer is not saying goodbye to the Basketball Wives series. Her blog was meant to clarify where she stands in regards to the drama that took place during the season finale in Tahiti, not as a goodbye letter."

So....see you on season 5 Jen!

Revisit the drama here:

Tune in next Monday 8pmET for part 1 of the reunion special of "BBW."

BONUS.......

Things aren't looking good for Terrell Owens as he recently got kicked out of the Indoor Football League on Tuesday, where he played for the Allen Wranglers.  

T.O. was signed to the franchise (based outside of Dallas) with a six-figure salary and an ownership stake in the franchise but now he has pissed all that away! Owner Jon Frankel said,

"Our fans are amongst the best in the league, and it is impossible to maintain a player when even our fans notice and comment on a player's lack of effort both on and off the field.  We need to do what is best for this team, our fans and this community. It's disappointing and unfortunate,"but (he) could no longer be tolerated by the Wrangler organization."

The breaking points were his refusal to play in two upcoming road games and a no-show for a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital.  Sigh.... 

We hate to hear that T.O. messed up this opportunity.  Lord knows he needed the money.

Kanye West & Jay-Z just dropped their video for their Watch The Throne track "No Church In The Wild."  Check out the metaphorical and literal visuals inside...

The powerful video was shot by French director Romain Gavras in Prague, Czech Republic this past April.  Neither Kanye nor Jay make an appearance, but they're clearly sending a few messages.

The film crew used 200 extras for the video, and divided them into cops and rioters.  As the two sides fight, the viewer sees the animalistic side of both parties come out in full force.  Making it almost impossible for there to be peace amongst a "wild" situation. 

Shots of churches, horses, elephants, bombs, guns and more created a vision of a war zone. 

The song itself, with the hook sung by Frank Ocean, was used as the theme song for Denzel Washington's latest action suspense flick, Safe House, as well as in the upcoming 2012 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby. 

Peep the vid below:

How did you interpret the video?

It's been 7 years. And the second set of hosts for BET's flagship show, "106 & Park," have officially chucked deuces.  Rocsi Diaz & Terrence Jenkins confirmed the rumors that have been swirling--they're leaving.  And the twosome made their formal and tearful announcement live on tonight's show.  Deets inside....

During an emotional announcement tonight, Terrence told the audience:

We have decided together that we will soon be leaving '106 and Park' as your hosts. This by no stretch of the imagination was an easy decision. But it's the right one. It's come after a lot of prayer, a lot of thought, and a lot of consideration.

Telling the viewers about being surprised by how successful the show became, Rocsi said:

We had no idea--we can't even express how amazing these seven years have been and how life changing they've been. We appreciate you guys so much.
 

A final show date for the two hosts has not been announced, but Terrence did say they will have a huge farewell.  Terrence has a budding movie career having just starred in this spring's blockbuster film Think Like A Man.  And he also made a surprise guest hosting appearance on E! News last week.  While the E! network said his was simply a one-off guest hosting gig, it's hard not to think it was also a trial run to see if Terrence and his personality could work for the E! audience and alongside host Giuliana Rancic. 

He did pretty well too.

Rocsi is hoping to get into more of the Hollywood movie life as well--both in front of the cameras and behind them (with her writing).

BET's President of Programming, Stephen Hill, sang the hosts praises today saying:

“Today, after seven exciting years, 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi announced that they will be leaving the show. It is no secret that there are a number of opportunities coming their way and we’re fortunate that they’ve been with 106 & Park for so long. They will be staying on the show for a while, so that we can have a “victory lap” — a celebration of their years at the helm of 106 & Park — before their departure. Terrence J and Rocsi are destined for great success and we at BET Networks will always take pride in being their original home — and be a place where I hope they’ll always feel welcome.”

Well finding replacements will be interesting....

Their reality show premieres June 18th, and the VH1 "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" cast is still filming.  Check out some behind the scenes pics of Lil Scrappy, his mama, Rasheeda, Shay "Buckeey" Johnson and more inside....

Oh, we see how this show will be.  ATL's LAHH cast filmed at Pearl Bistro nightclub (which many ATL folks tell us this signifies a very small budget) recently.  Apparently they were all on hand to celebrate Scrappy's release of his mixtape, Full Metal Jacket 2.  He also performed a track off his upcoming album (The Grustle) that features co-star Rasheeda called "Shawty Sprung."  Oh joy.

The folks over at ATL Nightspots snapped these pics and video below:

Rapper Rasheeda and her girls kicked it.

Scrappy's mama, Mama D, just looks like she's about to give Jim Jones' mama Nancy a run for her money in the foolery department.  Goodness.

So this is what Shay "Buckeey" Johnson has been up to since Flavor of Love days?  Besides having a baby?  Oh....

Feel like this whole party needs exfoliation...

Who's ready for the season to start?  Bring on the foolywangery...

Meagan Good's recent performance as a Pussycat Doll has apparently stirred a pot-o-drama. After THESE PICS surfaced from this weekend's sexy burlesque performance in Vegas (which her mother and future mother-in-law attended), folks had something to say.  Mainly because the 30-year-old actress often touts herself as a bible beating Christian (which is OK).  But many get confused by her overtly sexy images she often portrays for her job--on tv, film, and now, a burlesque show.

Check out her response to the critics inside...

Meagan told the Las Vegas Sun before her show that her fiance', Seventh Day Adventist preacher & Sony Exec DeVon Franklin, wasn't feeling it.  But, while he wouldn't be in attendance, he did concede for her to perform since she would be the "overdressed" Pussycat Doll.  Oh.

“I’m actually not going to undress. I’m going to be a Pussycat Doll, the overly dressed Pussycat Doll. I am only going to be doing some burlesque dancing, but I won’t be doing any stripping of clothes. Las Vegas will just see a little bit!

“I am going to wear the feathers and furs, but I am definitely not going to have my bottom or tummy hanging out. I will look sexy, and my clothes will be fitting, but I won’t be having any of my prized possessions hanging out. There will be a corset, stockings and high heels. His mother will absolutely report!

“He is not ecstatic about it, but it’s a bachelorette party. It’s the last time before I’m a married woman, and he understands that. He wants me to have fun and be happy and do the things that I want to do on my bucket list and not let people’s opinions of what I should and shouldn’t be doing control how we live our lives.

Meagan then took to her Twitter, once folks saw the images, and said:

Let's get something straight ... I wasn't half naked last night ... I was actually very covered up, not showing anymore than I show when I dress up to go to events ...and let's get something else straight .. I'm [an] actress ...there will be many things narrow minded people deem unholy or not 1st lady like ... But this is not so..it's about your relationship with God and your personal convictions ...if you see footage you will see I was covered up having fun dancing and enjoying myself with my friends and family and absolutely not doing a striptease ...smh people are ridiculous .. Can't a [girl] enjoy her bachelorette party in peace

Here's two videos of footage from her performance:

Entertainment Weekly also did an article, which Meagan tweeted out, asking whether overtly sexy images like Meagan's burlesque performance were too hot for Christianity.  Meagan's response--"Hmm, interesting."

So, we have a few questions:

Does it count as "just acting" if she's not on a tv/movie screen and she's not a professional dancer?  Does it matter that she was dancing on a pole--whether she removed clothes or not? Does it matter that she's technically "covered up"...if it's still mostly sheer and putting her breasticles on display (which is fine--but we're talking about does this work for a certain community or example you say you are setting)?  Do we really care or just care because Meagan touts herself as an example to Christians everywhere?  Should she use more discernment in choosing movie/tv roles as well, now that she is about to become a "First Lady"?

Speak on it.

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame did a wacky photoshoot with his tatts, jewelry and famed photog Terry Richardson.  And he showed off his playful side. See the pics inside....

Waka Flocka Flame stopped by the studio of famed photographer Terry Richardson where he dropped the "gangsta" image and showed off his fun side.

Waka's next album drops in June.  He tweeted, All I do is Turn Up, June 12 Ima Have A Reason #TrippleFLife.

See.....even the most hardcore rapper (even though we rarely understand what he's saying) has a lovable side.

And Waka actually has a cute smile.  Right?

Many of the photos appear in the latest issue of VMan on magazine racks now.

Watch "BTS" footage of the shoot above.  And check out the rest of the pics over at Terry Richardson's site.

Tyler Perry is responding to reports that Bobbi Kristina stormed off the set of his "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" TBS show saying that it never happened.  Get the deets inside and find out why he's saying, "LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE AND STOP THE LIES PLEASE!!!"

Folks have been spreading rumors that Bobbi Kristina had a meltdown on the set of "Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse" and now the director is defending her saying it NEVER happened.  In fact, the show wrapped production a long time ago.  He told his Facebook fans today,

I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of "For Better Or Worse". NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season.

After Whitney's funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into "For Better Or Worse". I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother's death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care.

Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or how it's going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you're smiling and happy and some days you’re so broken that you can't stop crying. So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time.

So please... PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.

IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULDN’T YOU WANT THAT?

-Tyler

 

Well....that sums that up.

Is it on and poppin' for hottie rapper/actor Romeo Miller and socialite/businesswoman Angela Simmons?  It certainly seems that way.  But the twosome is playing coy on Twitter as they exchanged words about getting caught by the paparazzi cams while out on a lunch date yesterday.  Check the pics inside, plus what both had to say about it all...

Is it a rap kid hook-up?  Master P's son, Romeo (22), who is starring in Tyler Perry's upcoming Madea's Witness Protection flick, and Rev. Run's daughter, Angela (25), looked pretty cozy at lunch in West Hollywood yesterday.  The Jumping The Broom actor was spotted with his arm around the Pastry queen as they left out of the eatery--all smiles:

They very well could be friends...but something tells us they could also be much more than just friends.  And we wouldn't even be mad at that. 

The two tweeted each other about their ping pong date after lunch, getting hounded by paparazzi and wondering what the media would make of it:

No denial...yet.  Time will tell...

Allen Iverson and Tawanna Iverson are STILL FIGHTING.  And now Allen wants Tawanna thrown in jail for ransacking his house. These two.  Deets inside....

Despite "getting it in" a while back, Allen and Tawanna Iverson are still very much UNHAPPILY married and are still heading towards divorce.  But now, Allen wants Tawanna thrown in jail.  He says she ransacked his house while he was out of the country playing basketball in Asia (this according to new legal docs).

Allen recently filed a motion in Georgia, according to TMZ, for contempt saying that when he returned home, his place was totally gutted!  DAMN!

According to the docs, he says she got away with furniture, art, memorabilia and cash and now she won't return them!  He wants a judge to hold Tawanna in contempt for harassing him and leave her in jail until he gets his stuff.  

We'll keep you posted........

"Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams--who is readying her return to season 5 of the insane VH1 show--recently shot a new campaign for her Lucid Cosmetics company.  We've got a few of her hot pics, plus Chris Brown's brand new video for "Till I Die" inside....

We may not agree with her decision to return to the foolery that is "Basketball Wives," but there's no denying her fabness.  Businesswoman and reality star Jennifer Williams recently rocked a pretty photoshoot for her lip gloss company Lucid Cosmetics.

Chris Brown, Christina Milian, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose were amongst the cool kids partying at the Roxbury in LA last night.  See the pics inside....

Amber Rose partied with fiance Wiz Khalifa.  With her ass out.....literally.  Cute neon yellow Louboutins though....

Tv personality Christina Milian got her club on last night at the Roxbury in Hollywood.  And the place was full of celebs.

Chris Brown stopped through for the fun with girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

And by the end of the night.....he looked like he had a REAL good time.

G.O.O.D. Music's first lady Teyana Taylor was also spotted at the club.

And apparently bought a rose for her...girl.

Yay or nay on Teyana's kicks?
