The Miami Heat retired Shaquille O'Neal’s No. 32 jersey last night. And his mom made a surprise entrance in a "Diesel Power" 18-wheeler truck in honor of Shaq’s arrival to the team in 2004. Get it all inside…

Shaquille O’Neal had his 2nd NBA jersey retired last night. His Miami Heat No. 32 jersey was hoisted to the rafters at the AmericanAirlines Arena where it will hang alongside fellow Hall of Fame center Alonzo Mourning (No. 33) and guard Tim Hardaway (No. 10). His Los Angeles Lakers jersey has already been retired.

During his time with the Heat (2004-2008), “Shaq Diesel” was able to help the organization win its first NBA championship in 2006. When he arrived in 2004 after being traded from the Lakers, the NBA baller rolled up the arena in an 18-wheeler with “Diesel Power” written on the side. Thousands of fans were outside of the arena to greet him. He made a promise to those fans that he would bring home a championship. And that’s exactly what he did.

In honor of his entrance to Miami, his mom Leslie O’Neal rolled into the arena in smaller replica of the “Diesel Power” 18-wheeler truck during the halftime ceremony and totally caught Shaq off guard. Check it below:

 

Mama Diesel.

Ha!

By the way, last night’s game was between the Heat and the team that traded Shaq, the Lakers. The Heat won 115-107.

Pat Riley, former Heat coach and the man responsible for bringing Shaq to the team, introduced Shaq and talked about what it was like to get the NBA star on the team. Before Shaq hit the podium, he gifted him with a few “15 Strong” cards, symbolizing the 15 people who helped bring the team their first NBA title.

During his speech, Shaq first gave props to his former teammates Alonzo Mourning (above) and Udonis Haslem.

He also told few stories about his time with the Heat, recalling it was a young Dwayne Wade that made him want to play in Miami.

"I said, if I want to play anywhere, I want to play in Miami," he said.
 

During the ceremony, the Heat organization made a $50,000 donation to Shaq’s charity, Odessa Chambliss Quality of Life Fund. They also presented him with a framed replica jersey banner; and, of course, the “Diesel Power”18-wheeler his mom rolled in on.

Baseball legend Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez was in the building too.

Meanwhile, DJ Khaled was busy introducing his son Asahd to the Miami Heat players, including Udonis Haslem along with Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra and Miami Heat assistant coach/retired NBA baller Juwan Howard:

Rapper Fat Joe was also in the building. 

Check out the full ceremony below: 

Congrats Shaq!

Kordell Stewart CONFIRMS those are his man parts and BOOTY in that sex video that recently surfaced. And he’s blaming his ex-wife Porsha Williams for releasing it to the masses. More inside…

Looks like World War III is about to pop off between Kordell Stewart and his ex-wife Porsha Williams.

Yesterday, we showed you a video of the former NFLer showing his penis and his onion booty in a video. The unidentified person who released the video said they were Kordell’s boyfriend and that they had been dating for the last two years. The alleged “boyfriend” said he released the tape because he was tired of being manipulated by Kordell.

Kordell told TMZ he made the video specifically for a woman he was dating at the time. The former Steelers QB addressed the rumors that it was allegedly made for a man, calling it “bullsh*t” and said that while he respects gay people, that's just not who he is.

Kordell said he believes his “Real Housewives of Atlanta” ex-wife is behind it since she fired off text messages to him recently that warned him to “prepare for war.” Hmm…IF she did send those texts, we wonder what she would be mad at him for? Their divorce has been finalized for a while now.

Anywho, Kordell has lawyered up and they’re looking for the culprit who released the tape. 

No word from Porsha yet, but she did post this on her Instagram:

This is getting ugly.

We would ask "Where y'all been?" But based on this drug bust, we already know what Paul Wall and Baby Bash have been up to.  Deets inside on their arrest...

Rapper Paul Wall & singer Baby Bash (Suga Suga) were doing the most in H-Town.  Both have been arrested in connection to a huge drug bust that went down last night.

TMZ claims they were arrested on site during a raid early this morning.

Law enforcement sources in Houston tell us officers executed a search warrant early Friday morning. Wall and Bash were there and got arrested on the spot, along with 8 other people. According to court records, both have been hit with felonies. 

Apparently the two have been friends for a while since they were arrested -- together -- in 2011 as well.

Sounds like they both need to raise their standards...

The Fort Worth Police Department has issued a statement regarding the black woman and her daughter being arrested after she called the police about a white man choking her 7-year-old son. Details inside…

A video of a Fort Worth police officer arrested a black woman and her daughter after they called the police for help has gone viral. And now, the police department has responded.

According to reports, a 46-year-old black woman named Jacqueline Craig called police after a white neighbor choked her 7-year-old son for allegedly littering. A white officer came to the scene and the entire encounter was caught on video.

In the clip, we see the white officer speaking to the white man who allegedly choked the 7-year-old boy. Once he’s finished speaking with the man, he walks over to Jacqueline and asked, “What’s going on with you?”

Jacqueline explained to the officer that the white man choked her son for allegedly dropping a piece of paper on the ground and not picking it up after the man told him to.

The cop then asked Jacqueline, “Why don’t you teach your son not to litter?” Really sir?

This set Jacqueline off where she tried to explain to the officer that even if her son did litter (which can’t be proven) that the man had NO right to put his hands on him. The officer responded, “Why not?”

At this point, Jacqueline started to defend her son, continuing to reiterate that the white man had NO right to touch her son no matter he did. That’s when the officer threatened to send her to jail because she was pissing him off.

All of a sudden the officer grabbed Jacqueline’s 19-year-old daughter and then put Jacqueline in handcuffs with his taser drawn. He then arrested Jacqueline’s 19-year-old daughter and her 15-year-old daughter was detained.

Someone filmed all of this as it went down via Facebook Live. Peep the clip below:

Following the video going viral, the Fort Worth Police Department issued a statement asking the public to give investigators time to investigate the matter and said the officer in the video has been placed on restricted duty status pending the outcome of the internal investigation.

Last night, about 150 people gathered in downtown Fort Worth to protest at the Tarrant County Courthouse.

Dallas News reports:

"It's time to stand up and protect your community," LaShadion Anthony said. "If you came out here for a kumbaya, you came to the wrong place."

Fort Worth pastor Sharon Mason Ford-Turner said Craig called police for help and received none. "When we call the Fort Worth PD, we want help. Not to be arrested," she said. "She called him to help. And he questioned her."

Some protesters held signs saying "Hold police accountable," "Being black is not a crime," and "Moms stick together."

Jacqueline Craig and her 19-year-old daughter Brea Hymond have been released from custody from the Mansfield Law Enforcement Center accompanied by their lawyer Lee Merritt. Her 15-year-old daughter was detained and shortly released afterwards.

Just another example of Donald Trump's "great" America. Thoughts?

Bryson Tiller and Desiigner are spreading Christmas cheer in their hometowns. Go inside for pics of the singer and rapper giving back…

No wonder he was awarded the key to the city!

R&B crooner Byrson Tiller headed home before the holidays. And before he enjoys Christmas with his family, he decided he would put some smiles on a few Louisville locals’ faces.

The TRAPSOUL singer walked up to a few senior citizens in Kroger and offered to purchase all of their groceries. One woman recalled the encounter saying,

"He said, 'Why don't you fill up that whole basket.’ I said, 'What do you mean fill up the whole basket?' He said, 'Fill it up, and I'll pay for it.'"

She wasn’t quite sure if she should, but went along with it anyway.

"I looked at him. He looked like a clean cut guy. I was a little bit apprehensive, because you know, you can't trust everyone nowadays. I said, 'I just can't believe this, I've never had this happen to me.' And he said, 'This is my way of giving back at Christmas time.' And I said, 'Are you an entertainer?' He said, 'Uh, something like that.'"

While the elderly didn’t recognize him in Kroger, several fans spotted the Grammy nominated singer out at the Pic Pac grocery store.

Jaron Alexander, an employee at the store, explained what happened when the “Don’t” singer walked into the store. "The whole store froze. Like, they turned and was just looking, and I'm like, 'What's everybody looking at?'"

He continued,

"I just looked over, and I just saw his face, and then I was like telling my mom and sister, 'I think that's Bryson Tiller,'" said Kendrick James, a high school freshman. "And my mom was like, 'Ain't no way that's Bryson Tiller. I don't think he'd be in Louisville right now.'"

Bryson paid for a few senior citizens’ groceries in there as well.

It’s the time of year!

Taraji P. Henson and her son Marcel are getting in some quality mother-son quality time this holiday season.

The “Empire” starlet has been super busy shooting for hit FOX series and doing promo for her upcoming movie Hidden Figures, so getting in some alone time with her 22-year-old son is much-needed. 
 

The duo was spotted grabbing lunch at Mauro's Café and shopping it up at Fred Segal. Donning a laid back look, the Hollywood starlet, who covers the newest issue of ESSENCE magazine, dressed for the retail run in an oversized sweater, distressed jeans and comfortable Ugg boots. Meanwhile, her son looked like he came off the set of a music video in his trendy threads.  

Cute. 

Elsewhere...

We’re days away before Christmas and Jennifer Lopez is getting in some last minute shopping.

The “Booty” singer, along with her entourage, made her rounds in Beverly Hills to picks gifts for her family and friends.
 

Hmm...we wonder if she picked up anything for Drake, since they're rumored to be dating, while browsing stores on Rodeo Drive.

Jenny from the Block was stylishly comfortable in a white tank shirt topped with a gray fur sweater, jeans and Timberland boots for the shopping trip. 

Following his sitdown with his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams, rapper Common hit the shopping scene to pick up a few last minute Christmas gifts. He was spotted toting a few bags as he made his way around The Grove in L.A.

Chatting on his cell phone, the Chi-town rapper made sure he was dressed comfortably for his retail run, rocking a pair of gray and black basketball shorts, a gray t-shirt and blue sneakers. Still sexy as ever.

Surprise!  Not.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are conveniently back together, ust a week after their "Baby Special" premiere and right before Christmas.  Plus, the Kardashian-Jenners laced them with tons of gifts.  Check it all below...

Just week after their engagement appeared to be ill-fated (well, let's keep it 100, it still does), Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are back to being happy as pie on Snapchat.

It looks like Chyna brought their daughter Dream back to Rob after packing up all their ish and leaving after a huge (and alleged) drunken fight.

Now, as we predicted on The YBF Podcast this week, the couple is back together now that the ratings have been calculated for their E! special.

The two posed it up all lovey dovey and Rob snapped a video of Chyna and Dream being a cutesy together.

 

A video posted by Chynaalaurenlove (@chynaalaurenlove) on Dec 23, 2016 at 7:22pm PST

Chyna was seen in another video saying "How cute!" while Rob held Dream.

Not only that, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner laced the couple -- and kids Dream and King -- with gifts galore. 

A "welcome back to the circus" gesture?  We wouldn't be surprised.

Check out our newest podcast episode where Natasha made some spot-on predictions about how this relationship drama would all play out:

Gloria Govan, Derek Fisher& their kids are all one big happy family, especially now that Gloria's and (Derek's former teammate) Matt Barnes' divorce is final.  PDA, a suspicious bump and more below...

We're not putting her on preggers watch just yet (or should we?), but Gloria Govan has been raising our eyebrow since last month when we first noticed a suspicious bump.

Could it be her clothes...or just a bunch of Christmas cookies?  Sure.  Some pics scream suspicious bump, and some don't.  Time will tell.

Either way, the newly divorced and former "Basketball Wives" star was all smiles and all kisses and cuddles at yesterday's annual Los Angeles Mission feed those in need initiative.

Gloria brought her and Matt's twin boys and Derek brought his and ex-wife Candace Fisher's kids too.

Gloria wasn't shy about posing it up for the cameras, and now that her divorce is final (and she's got some SERIOUS checks coming from Matt Barnes), we'd be smiling all hard too:

Also at yesterday's event was Pharrell, actress Shar Jackson and her daughter Cassilay:

Cute!

Denzel Washington & Viola Davis are magical on camera together, and they dish to us about how Director Denz captured that magic from Broadway to put on the big screen for 'Fences'.  It was deliberate. Plus, we chat up the cast about how the film is the healing factor black families need.

When they weren't trying to nab YBF correspondent's Jeff J.'s suit details for themselves, Denzel Washington, Al Sharpton and more gave us the real about why folks need to be front and center watching Fences this Holiday.

Denzel dished about flexing his director skills to stay tru to August Wilson's words but bring the magic we all need to see on screen, while Al Sharpton explained why seeing an imperfect black family on screen go THROUGH it heals all of us.

Plus, we talk to the rest of the cast and also Benny Boom about his upcoming All Eyez On MeTupac film.  Check it.

Shooters don't take Christmas off?!   Rapper Troy Ave is back in the hospital after getting shot Christmas night.  Everything you need to know -- including 50 Cent paying him a visit -- inside...

Just months after he got out of jail for being caught up in that Irving Plaza shooting, Troy Ave was riding around his home in Brooklyn in his Maserati yesterday when shots rang out.

It's unclear who the perps are behind the shooting, but Troy is reportedly in stable condition.  NY Alerts broke the news with a pic from the scene of the crime saying:

U/D Brooklyn: Rapper Troy Ave is in stable condition after he was shot multiple times while driving his Maserati on E 91st St & Linden Blvd.

— New York City Alerts (@NYCityAlerts) December 26, 2016

Damn shame.

Troy's lawyer confirms the Brooklyn-born MC was shot in the arm and was grazed in the head by a bullet, but his injuries are not life-threatening.

"Tonight, Troy Ave was targeted again... on Christmas," Scott Leemon, an attorney for the rapper, said in a statement obtained by Billboard. "In Brooklyn, going to meet his family for the holiday, he was shot two times. Thankfully, he will survive the second attempt on his life. As we have said from the beginning -- he is a victim. We pray for his speedy recovery."

50 Cent ran up to the hospital to check on his homie and posted the pic above while saying, "He's good."

Back in May, during a T.I. concert at Irving Plaza in NYC, Troy Ave. was caught on camera firing off his gun during a shoot out.  He was charged with attempted murder of his bodyguard as he maintains, to this day, that he did not shoot him.   He was also shot in the leg during that fiasco.  Troy claims he was firing off his gun in self-defense.

In sad news, comedian Ricky Harris passed away recently and celebs are paying tribute to their friend. More inside….

Comedian/actor Ricky Harris passed away on Monday inside his home, according to his manager Cindy Ambers of Art/Work Entertainment. The cause of his death was not immediately known. He was 54. He leaves behind his mother, two daughters and an ex-wife.

The stand-up comedian had a recurring role on “Everybody Hates Chris,” he appeared in “Moesha,” he starred in the 2015 dramedy DOPE and he appeared on “The Tracy Morgan Show.” Ricky made his acting debut in the 1993 classic Poetic Jusice, and then appeared in Tales From The Hood and Heat.

The Long Beach native was also known for his raunchy skits on a few Snoop Dogg albums. He and Snoop were really good friends. FUN FACT: Ricky and Snoop used to sing in the church choir together as children.

Ricky was raised in Long Beach and the son of a preacher. His stand-up acts on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam” in the 90s thrusted him into the limelight. Snoop dubbed him the first person to “make it” in Long Beach.

Several of Ricky’s industry friends have posted up tributes to him on social media. Snoop shared a heartfelt video about his good friend saying:
 

 

Ricky Harris. R. I. P.

Troy Ave has been released from the hospital after getting shot multiple times on Christmas Day and he’s speaking out about the incident for the first time. Get it all inside…

Rapper Troy Ave has been released from the hospital after being shot on Christmas Day. This is the 2nd time the rapper has been shot this year, following a shoot out at a T.I. concert earlier this year.

The shooting occurred in his hometown of Brooklyn when Troy and his girlfriend pulled up in a red Maserati before dinner with family. According to reports, a man in a hoodie walked up to his vehicle and began shooting in the driver’s side window, shooting Troy in the arm and grazing his head.

Troy was released from the hospital yesterday (December 26th) and he’s speaking out for the first time about the scary situation. Talking to REVOLT, he gave an update on his injuries and thanked God for keeping him here.

 

shot in my head, shot in my back, GOD is Great Ya boi is back from the bottom of my heart thank y'all 4 all the prayers #WhiteChristmas4 (link in bio)

A video posted by Troy Ave (@troyave) on Dec 26, 2016 at 5:17pm PST

"To be honest man I got a bullet still in my head and another one lodged in my back," he said.

"Words can't describe how blessed I feel to be here. To all the fans, just ride with ya boy. Keep me in prayers and play my music loud."

He even plugged his new mixtape saying, "Spread the word bout that #WhiteChristmas4 mixtape cause that's my gift to yall!," he added."I was given the gift of life. Yours truly Dope Boy Troy."

While in the hospital, 50 Cent stopped by to visit him to update fans on his condition. The suspect is still at large.
 

The NYC rapper (government name Ronald Collins) was out on a $500,00 bond from the shooting earlier this year. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder and criminal possession after he was caught on surveillance video shooting a gun during the T.I. concert at Irving Plaza back in May.

He accidentally shot himself in the leg and his longtime friend Ronald McPhatter was shot in the stomach and pronounced dead at Beth Israel hospital. In August, Troy Ave filed a lawsuit against Live Nation and Irving Plaza for failing to search VIP attendants in the venue.

Tyga and Kylie Jenner have a steamy video for their fans that features a naked, cigarette smoking Kylie kissing all over her boyfriend. If you’re interested, you can check it out inside, plus see how Chris Brown is shooting his shot at Karrueche (again)…

For Tyga’s 27th birthday last month, the west coast rapper celebrated with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner. They released a few intimate and steamy flicks from a photoshoot they previously shot. And now, a video has surfaced to accompany the pics.

In the short film dubbed “KYLIE,” we see the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star trot around naked while smoking a cigarette. In other shots, we see the reality star show off her naked bod underneath a wet t-shirt as she stands under a shower head while tonguing Tyga down.

Photographer Sasha Samsonova shared details about the shoot (shot in Venice) with W magazine saying,“It was meant to be a little surprise gift for the world. The whole deal with this video is that it’s a very personal experience. It’s like you’re watching this person from a point of view that has never been seen before.”

The Kardashian-Jenner clan is known for enhancing photos (and other things), but Sasha was adamant that the clip had no photoshop work done to it, despite what everyone thinks.

“It’s super raw footage. As soon as my shoots with Kylie come out, so many people write on my page and rant about how it’s all Photoshop, Photoshop, Photoshop. But the thing about this video is that there’s no post-production work whatsoever. It’s only cut together. It’s very raw, and we tried to keep it that way—no skin retouching, nothing.”

Decide for yourself below:

Oh.

In post-relationship news...

Chris Brown is still trying his hand with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche.

The “Claws” star posted up a picture of herself wearing a Sade t-shirt with her legs gapped open captioning, “Baby.” Breezy must have been strolling through his Instagram feed and stumbled upon the flick because he was all in the comments section.

He wrote, “Still want it,” and added the eyeball emojis. Hmm…we wonder if he followed up with a “Hey Bighead” text as well.

Maybe after several separate run ins and her racy shots on Instagram has him feeling like he wants that old thang back.
 

Meanwhile…

President Barack Obama says he would have beaten Donald Trump in the election if he were allowed to run for a third term. Deets inside…

Before he leaves office for good, President Barack Obama opens up about the recent presidential election like never before. POTUS says he’s confident he would have beaten Donald Trump in the election, “if I had run again.”

POTUS sat down with former aide David Azelrod in the White House before leaving for his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii for his final interview. In an episode of Azelrod’s podcast “The Axe Files” (released Monday), POTUS said,

“I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I — if I had run again and articulated it — I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it.”

Our Commander-In-Chief said he wasn’t buying Trumps “greater” America that he was pushing during his campaign.

"In the wake of the election and Trump winning, a lot of people have suggested that somehow, it really was a fantasy,"POTUS said. "What I would argue is, is that the culture actually did shift, that the majority does buy into the notion of a one America that is tolerant and diverse and open and full of energy and dynamism."

"The problem is, it doesn't always manifest itself in politics, right? You know, I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it."

POTUS also criticized Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's campaign strategy: 

“If you think you're winning, then you have a tendency, just like in sports, maybe to play it safer.” The president said Hillary “understandably . . . looked and said, well, given my opponent and the things he's saying and what he's doing, we should focus on that.”

Hmph.

President-elect Donald Trump responded to President Obama’s comment tweeting:

President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! - jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2016

Boy BYE!

So, if POTUS ran for a third term (if it were legal), do you think he would have beaten Donald Trump?

The Wests were a family unit over the Christmas holiday despite rumors of a break up between Kanye and Kim Kardashian West. Peep their holiday shot, plus flicks of Yeezy and his new hair color catching a movie inside…

The rumor mill has been turning with reports that Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West were headed down Splitsville Lane. Folks were reporting that Ye was a no-show at the Kardasian-Jenner annual Christmas party in Calabasas on Christmas Eve, but they were wrong.

Ye was in the building.

In fact, the whole West family was there, including their daughter North West and son Saint West. The PABLO rapper posted the family flick on his Twitter account today with the caption, “Happy Holidays.”

Other guests included will.i.am, the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan, performers John Legend, Babyface, El DeBarge and David Foster.  Yeeyz and will stopped for a photo-op with Russian digital entrepreneur Miroslava Duma (above).

After celebrating Christmas with the fam....

The “Ultralight Beam” rapper stepped out to catch an early movie. Donning a heavy shearling coat and a bright hair hue, the Chi-town rapper made his way to the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood to check out a new film.

Speaking of his hair, he copped the blonde hue shortly after being released from the hospital earlier this month, but it appears he has added a hint of pink to the top:

If you haven't heard, Ye has cancelled the remaining European concerts on his PABLO tour after axing his U.S. dateslast month. 

Maybe his discussion about "life" with president-elect Donald Trump inspired the new pink hair.

Blac Chyna steps out for some pampering in L.A. And she’s wearing her engagement ring following that huge fall out with Rob Kardashian. Meanwhile, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and Baby Luna are jetting to Miami following their first family Christmas. Flicks inside…

New mom again Blac Chyna (soon-to-be Angela Kardashian) had an emotional week last week if you believe the headlines. So, she took a moment for a little pampering.

The Lash Boutique owner, toting a Christmas present, tried to keep a low profile in all camo as she walked out of a nail salon in L.A. with her bestie Paige for a relaxing day of pampering. Her outing comes on the heels of reconciling with her fiancé Rob Kardashian.
 

Last weekend, the two were at each other’s THROATS.

Rob made claims that Chyna took all of the kids’ things out of his house, including his food, after Chy's Instagram account was hacked.

Then there were reports that Chyna got physical with Rob during an alleged drunken rage. It appears the two were stirring up the pot to help ratings for their “baby delivery” special that was set to air last week. All of the drama popped off RIGHT before the episode aired.

Now, they’re back together…happier than ever. And Chyna is rocking her engagement ring like nothing ever happened.

Looks like we’ll be seeing Gabrielle Union as “Mary Jane” in more seasons. Gabby and BET have reached a settlement in the $3 million dollar lawsuit she filed against the company right before the premiere of the new season. Details inside….

If you’re a fan of “Being Mary Jane,” you’ll be happy hear this news!

Gabrielle Union and BET have reached a settlement in the $3 million lawsuit the YBF actress filed against the network in October for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation. It was alleged in the suit right before the newest season premieres.

BET issued a statement to Deadline regarding the settlement saying,

“BET Networks is pleased to announce that they have reached an amicable agreement with Gabrielle Union and look forward to sharing the new season of Being Mary Jane with its loyal fans beginning January 10, 2017."

No further details were revealed.

The lawsuit alleged the network tried to shoot 20 episodes of the series back-to-back (10 episodes each for seasons 4 & 5) without a break in between, breaking their contractual agreement that they previously agreed upon. The network tried to have the cast shoot scenes without revealing to them which season they were shooting for in an effort to cut costs.

Once filming began in September 2016, Gabby was informed about the shooting schedule and that’s when she fired off the lawsuit.

In the settlement agreement, there is also a declaration that BET could not order more than 13 episodes for any season of “Being Mary Jane.”

Glad they got this all settled before the fourth season of the hit series premieres January 10, 2017.

Get ready to see Gabby as the cable news anchor character Mary Jane where she’s set totake over NYC after moving from Atlanta.

Well, we can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. Tiny Harris has filed for divorce from T.I. after a rocky six years of marriage. Details inside…

We watched many highs and lows between rapper T.I. and Tiny Harris throughout their six-year marriage. And now, they’re dunzo. Or at least Tiny is.

According to TMZ, Tameka “Tiny” Harris filed for divorce in Georgia's Henry County earlier this month. The twosome, who share 2 sons [King& Major] and 1 daughter [Heiress], got married in 2010 in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends. 

As you know, boxer Floyd Mayweather has been at the center of issues in their marriage after Tip and the professional boxer were involved in a brawl in Vegas back in 2014.

Most recently, Tiny, who shares two sons and 1 daughter with Tip, snapped a pic with Floyd at Mariah Carey’s Halloween party that had the rumor mill turning once again.

Who saw this coming? 

We will be on the look out for official statements from the two to confirm this is a definitely thing.
