Remember when Ed Hartwell claimed the baby his soon-to-be ex-wife Keisha Knight Pulliam was pregnant with at the time of their divorce may not be his?  Well, now he's backtracking.  And also backtracking with his money.  Deets inside...

Former NFL baller Ed Hartwell finally admits what most of us have known for several months, he is indeed the father of Keshia Knight Pulliam's baby.  A paternity test apparently proves it as well.

The couple's messy divorce, which we broke exclusively here on TheYBF.com last July, has seen both Ed and Keshia making some interesting claims.  Ed said he was unsure that the baby she was pregnant with last summer (and is now just about a month old) was his.  Keshia claimed Ed was a liar and likely a cheater himself.

Now, docs have surfaced that Ed filed where he admits baby Ella Grace is indeed his daughter.  He says, though, he's not yet ready to pay child support despite Keshia filing for emergency support.

TMZ reports:

In the docs, Ed says he's not buying Keshia's claim she needs emergency financial support, because they both have deep pockets. Plus, he says she's not considering his own expenses in setting up a nursery for the kid at his place.

Ed says he wants the court to determine exactly how much he should shell out before he starts paying up.

Oh...ok.

Pictures of Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan having a discussion popped up online and folks immediately thought they were having an argument. But, that’s not the case. Get the latest inside…

Folks love stirring the pot.

Rumors started circulating last week that “Good Morning America” co-hosts Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan were feuding on set after some pictures of them having an intense discussion popped up online. 

In the pictures (that you can check out here), Robin and Michael do appear to be in a heated discussion while chatting with ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi after taping a segment about the Williams sisters semifinal wins at the Australian Open. Turns out, that’s exactly what they were talking about after the cameras were turned off, the Williams sisters.

An insider spoke on the made up feud saying, “The only disagreement on set was over who was going to win the Super Bowl. Everyone at GMA is thrilled to have Michael on the show full-time. He’s a fantastic addition to the team.”

To prove further there isn’t any beef between them, Robin reposted a picture of Michael on her Twitter account on Valentine’s Day with the caption, “And @michaelstrahan does make me laugh...he brightens my morning every day! #GoodTimes”

And @michaelstrahan does make me laugh...he brightens my morning every day! #GoodTimeshttps://t.co/OtgPaEpBxl

— Robin Roberts (@RobinRoberts) February 14, 2017

Even if there was some rift brewing under the surface, we highly doubt they would be going at each other's necks in the wide open glass-window filled studio.

Meanwhile, Michael was spotted leaving work this morning unbothered:

Nothing to see here folks.

What a difference a few months makes.  Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen were back to their cozy coupledom on Sunday at a big brunch event.  All on the same day Future expressed his emoji love for Larsa.  Pics inside...

Just last October, Scottie was filing for divorce and accusations of Larsa cheating with rapper Future were being tossed around.  Back then, cops were being called to the house due to domestic disturbances and it looked like the Pippens were DEFINITELY over.

Fast forward to 2017 and it's as if none of that ever happened.  We've seen Scottie and Larsa together a couple times, but this past Sunday they put their coupledom status on full display.

Scottie and Larsa cuddled up for a photo while Haute Living and JetSmarter hosted a Boat Show Closing Party at The Deck in Miami on Sunday.  They were with other celeb couples like Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats and Loren & J.R. Ridinger.

Hmph.

Interesting, this was the same day Future posted that yellow heart emoji under Larsa's pic saying "Forever."  She cut off her comments immediately.

That hasn't stopped folks from trolling her comments section on other posts tho:

Meanwhile, Scottie and Larsa and other folks had a front-row view of the show’s most extravagant megayachts and superyachts while they noshed on five-star cuisine from renowned Chef Alfredo Alvarez and sipped on Bertaud Belieu Rose and Ace of Spades.  Unbothered.

Hey Alicia & Swizz!

The YBF ladies are heating up London Fashion Week on and off the runway. Check out flicks of Naomi Campbell, Winnie Harlow, Justine Skye and more inside…

London Fahsion Week is in full swing and the YBF ladies are leaving their marks on and off the runway.

It’s no surprise supermodel veteran Naomi Campbell was in the fashion mix to soak in the newest trendy designs.

The runway slayer, keeping warm in a ruffled overcoat, took a break from the runway and sat front row at the Burberry show sandwiched between Suki Waterhouse and Penelope Cruz.

Legs for days! Model Jourdan Dunn was in the building to check out Burberry’s latest designs.

After the show, it's the afterparty!

Jourdan changed up her look for the nighttime festivities and linked up with her model friend Winnie Harlow. The ladies hit up Love Me 17 X Burberry party held at Annabel's.

Winnie pulled off a pair of sky high platform heels that matched her lavendar ensemble, flossing those model legs.

There's an unconfirmed rumor that she's supposedly dating Drake now, but we're not buying it.

Girls time! Winnie cuddled up with singers Ellie Goulding and Ray Blizzy at the shindig.

Singer Justine Skye, rocking a colorful ensemble, and model Kendall Jenner were also in the mix.

And so was Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia Richie, decked out in all white.

Before Winnie hit the party scene...

Winnie SHUT DOWN the runway during Julien Macdonald's show. Chick is slaying that see-through jumpsuit.

Singer Justine Skye lit up the London streets in a yellow jacket and mini skirt before making her way inside the Topshop Unique runway show.

Straying away from her usual long locs, she rocked a cropped purple bob to top off her look.

And Sofia struck a pose in an interesting get up inside the Tate Modern at the Topshop Unique show.

The soulful songstress amped up her look with gold accessories and a bright pink lippie.

Ha!

Celebrity stylist June Ambrose came out to support her hair stylist friend Larry Sims on his special night. He won an award for his accomplishments.

“Hollywood Today Live” co-host Garcelle Beauvais hit the carpet before presenting during the ceremony.

Sean Kingston got jumped again, and Migos are reportedly involved.  Deets on Sean's latest L inside...

News hit social media last night that Sean Kingston got jumped and had his chain jacked yet again.  It apparently all went down in Vegas last night at the trade show.

A verbal altercation went down yesterday afternoon at the Sands Expo and Convention Center between Sean and the trio rap group, then Migos allegedly stomped him out.

Someone from Sean's camp reportedly fired a gun into the air during the melee, but no one was hit.

Sheesh.

After the drama, both Migos and Sean ran from the scene, but cops caught up with Sean and cuffed and questioned him.  Peep the video below:

Cops say they want to talk to Migos about the incident, but they are not OFFICIALLY wanted suspects...yet.

Now, Sean's mother is popping off about it all without naming names. 

Dem people yah nuh meds right‼️ How the fuck a money fi match up to a gorilla Plus dem fans tek up badness inna the media‼️

She also says Sean is fine:

She was likely talking about the fact Migos were all just eating Sean Kingston's mama's cooking at Quavo's birthday party last year.

Apparently, Migos and Sean were all buddy-buddy earlier in the day at the Venetian hotel.

Of course, The Game also chimed in:

 

Lawdt! #SeanKingston allegedly got jumped (again) in Vegas, this time by #Migos. Now #TheGame is on his petty behavior...

Tracee Ellis Ross, Jesse Williams and singer Kelsey Lu are the stars of KENZO’s short film, Music Is My Mistress. And the clip gives a stunning interpretation of music. Check it inside…

Director Kahlil Joseph, the man behind Beyonce’s LEMONADE visual album, serves up a captivating short film, Music Is My Mistress, in collaboration with KENZO’s Spring 2017 campaign.

The 12-minute piece features “black•ish” actress Tracee Ellis Ross, “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams, singer/cellist Kelsey Lu (who’s featured on Solange’s A Seat At The Table) and Ish from Shabazz Palaces.

KENZO describes the visually stunning piece as "an amalgamation of rhythms, visions and moods that eschews narrative continuity in favor of divergent glimpses into a bigger story." It shows how “music is much more than mere sound and rhythm. This story casts music herself as the central character of an unfolding drama across cultures, space, and time.”

It’s an artsy piece that soothes the soul and shines light on some #BlackExcellece.  Here for all that!

Check it out for yourselves below:

New mom Tika Sumpter drops some jewels for other new moms about the snap back game for The Coveteur. Get into it inside…

Becoming a new mom is stressful enough. But, add on the pressure of quickly getting back to your pre-pregnancy weight all the while handling a newborn, working, and handling life’s day-to-day activities. It can be a lot. But, new mom Tika Sumpter has a very realistic piece of advice.

We see celebrities have babies and a month later they are back to the pre-pregnancy weight looking better than ever. What people fail to realize from the outside looking in is that celebrities often time have tons of help (and time) where they can solely focus on “snapping back.”  Every day moms often don’t have that luxury, so they look at celebrities and start comparing their snap back journey to theirs, which can become stressful.

The Southside With You star, mom to 4-month-old Ella, wants new moms to know “snapping back” so quickly isn’t realistic and that they should cut themselves some slack. “The Have And The Have Nots” actress, who posed it up in this gorgeous royal blue look for the mag, tells The Coveteur:

“There’s a lot of pressure to do that, but I think, one, it’s unrealistic. Two, it takes almost a year for your body to heal. Everyday people who have jobs and more than one kid, they’re looking to us to inspire. I think sometimes we push false claims about snapping back, when really, we have people helping us, whether it’s trainers or people come to our houses. So I try to tell women, don’t feel the pressure of feeling that way. The pounds will come off, it just takes time, and you do what you can. You walk around your neighborhood, you try to eat better and make better choices, but it’s not realistic to ‘snap back’ a month later. You just pushed a whole human being out of your body, and had one sitting in there for almost nine months.”

So true! Moms, please give yourself time to heal and love up on your new bundle of joy and be less concerned about “snapping back” so quickly.

Tika continued:

“I think it’s important, in general, to take time for yourself and take care of yourself, especially having a child. You pour everything into the child, and I think it’s important to remember, if you’re in a relationship, to continue to build that and have a night out with your significant other, and also you and your friends. Even though you’re not the person you were, being around your friends, they remind you, ‘Oh, this is why I’m great, I’m still me, I’m not just a cow for my child,’ [laughs]. Or a milk factory. It’s good to be reminded you’re still cool.”

Take heed moms!

Maybe some of you can relate?! Gayle King just shared a story about accidentally dating a married man, but it was totally not her fault. Find out if you’ve ever been in her shoes inside…

Apparently, f*ck bois are possible at any age.

One would think you wouldn’t have to ask a man if he’s married after going out on a few dates, but if you’re currently on the dating scene, you may want to add a new question to your repertoire…just ask Gayle King.

The “CBS This Morning” co-anchor is single and ready to mingle, but now she has to bring a list of questions she MUST ask on the first date because some men can be so messy these days.

Appearing on daytime talk show “Harry,” Gayle, who has been divorced since 1993 after she caught her husband cheating, shared a story about how she ended up on a date with a MARRIED man. Sighs…

She said she was out to dinner with a potential partner when he casually mentions he has a WIFE.  AFTER they had gone out on a FEW dates. Wait…what?

Gayle said:

"I went on a date recently, I’ve been out with somebody maybe 3 or 4 times and now I feel I have another dating question to add to my repertoire, in addition to, ‘do you think OJ Simpson is guilty?’ which is one of my dating questions."

Harry asked if it was a deal breaker, and she responded:

"Oh, depending on how you answer that, I do judge. I definitely do, I followed that case from beginning to end but it never occurred to me if somebody asked you out and you’ve been on a couple of dates, they are not wearing a wedding ring. It never occurs to me to say, ‘Are you married?’ It really didn’t."

Dude claimed he was separated from his wife, but they were still living in the same household.  Oh, and they had no plans on getting a divorce. Check please!  She continued:

“So I’m out to dinner and he’s talking and then he said something about ‘my wife’ and I said, ‘Wait, wait, wait, your wife? You have a wife?’ He goes, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘Does she know you’re here?’ He said, ‘But, we’re separated.’ I said, ‘Oh, you’re getting a divorce.’ He said, ‘No, we’re separated, we live in the same house, it hasn’t been good for a really long time.’ And I was like, ‘Check, please, I know that story.’”

Girl, don’t we all.

Have you ever gotten caught up on a date with a married man?

Donald Trump likes to repeat over and over again how he’s FOR the American people. But, he’s clearly OK with running up our tax dollars for frivolous travel expenses. He is already costing taxpayers more money for travel expenses in a month than former President Barack Obama did in a YEAR. Get the figures inside…

So, let’s get straight to the point.

Donald Trump has spent $11.3 million in the first month of his presidency. Former President Barack Obama spent an average of $12.1 million on travel each YEAR. Yes, you read that right YEAR.

So what is Trump doing that’s costing taxpayers millions of dollars for travel expenses? For starters, Trump has been jetting to his private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida for the last three weekends. One also must factor in the cost of travel, described as “money for Coast Guard units to patrol the exposed shoreline and other military, security and staffing expenses associated with moving the apparatus of the presidency.” That alone costs a cool $10 million, according to the Washington Post.

And there’s more.

Taxpayers are paying for Secret Service protection for Trump’s adult sons’ international trips to promote their father’s businesses. So, that adds to the total $11.3 million he has already spent in his first month of presidency for travel.

Not long ago, Trump criticized President Obama for using Air Force One for his travel.

Peep the receipts:

Oh, and get this. While Trump was on the campaign trail, he assured the American public that he was not going to be one of those presidents who took a lot of vacations. He said (via Think Progress):

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done. I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off… You don’t have time to take time off.”

More lies.  He's already vacationed and tweeted more than pretty much any other President by this time.

While he’s in Florida, he’s having a ball playing golf and we all remember how he railed President O about playing golf during his presidency:

WH y'day: Trump played “a couple” holes→ report he played 18 w/McIlroy→ WH today: he “intended to play a few holes & decided to play longer” pic.twitter.com/uGVOMPbiGm

— Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) February 20, 2017

Hmph.

Lastly, it’s going to cost taxpayers MILLIONS for the Secret Service to protect Melania Trump while she lives in Trump Towers in New York. The Post reports the cost at an estimated $183 million.

One crazy racist doesn't stop the show!  Jamie Foxx is back at work after a person was arrested for attacking him with a racial slur in Croatia yesterday.  Deets inside...

Jamie Foxx has been staying at a resort on the Adriatic Sea filming Robin Hood: Origins.  Yesterday, he was the victim of a racial incident that ended up with Croatian police getting involved.

Jamie posted (and deleted) the incident saying an offensive racial term was hurled at him by two middle-aged men while he was at a restaurant.

The term, according to Total Croatia News, was 'crncuga' - which means 'n*****'.  

Croatian police said Tuesday disorderly conduct charges have been filed against the two men who allegedly targeted 'one of the guests on racial grounds'.

Jamie also posted video of the men being led out by police.

We guess he wanted to put the incident behind him, because he then posted an upbeat video about being just a regular guy from Terrell, Texas who made it all the way to the beautiful Croatia.  Check it:

Nick Cannon is officially a dad again!  Meet his brand new baby boy...

Nick Cannon is now a father of 3!  He and Brittany Bell just welcomed their brand new baby boy.

Little Golden "Sagon" Cannon was born yesterday (Tuesday), and Nick is already over the moon.  He posted a tribute to his youngest son and a sneak peek of his cuteness saying:

 

Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning! No matter how hard the world may hit you, God always reminds us of our purpose! #TrueHappiness Welcome to Earth Son! Golden "Sagon" Cannon 2/21/17 #Awakened

A post shared by LORD NCREDIBLE ALMIGHTY IkeT (@nickcannon) on Feb 22, 2017 at 10:22am PST

Sweet!

Nick told us on The YBF Podcast back in November that he and Brittany grew up near each other.  Then, one night, after his divorce from Mariah Carey, one thing led to another and the two announced their pregnancy.

While they don't appear to be a couple, Nick & Britanny seem to be pretty good friends who are eager about co-parenting.

Little Golden joins older twin siblings Moroccan and Monroe. 

Congrats to Nick & Brittany!

Sage Steele has never really held her tongue when it comes to speaking about the black community, and she’s back at it. The ESPN anchor claims the worst racism she has ever experienced came from black people. More inside…

What’s with Sage Steele, you ask?  The bi-racial ESPN host, who has made her conservative Christian beliefs well known, has always felt compelled to speak about the black community.  Some appreciate it, many don't.

She criticized black people who ask for diversity but don’t practice it in a lengthy Facebook post a few months ago, and got dragged. She groaned and moaned on social media about Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, but not because she was against it. She was mad because the protests made her miss her flight. She definitely got dragged then as well. And she’s been vocal about how un-American it is for people to protest against the killing of unarmed black men, even though she does feel police use excessive force at times.

Now, she’s stirring the pot again.

Sage – who has a white mother, black father and is married to a white man – sat on a panel about race and faith called “Under Our Skin” where she revealed the worst racism she has ever received came from other black people. The mother of three said black people need to stop blaming other people for problems and to start “look[ing] in the mirror.”

“There are times that I believe that we, as African-Americans, can be hypocritical, and that is to not look ourselves in the mirror when we are saying certain things and blaming other groups for one thing when we are doing the exact same thing…The worst racism that I have received [as a biracial woman married to white man], and I mean thousands and thousands over the years, is from black people, who in my mind thought would be the most accepting because there has been that experience…

She continued:

“But even as recent as the last couple of weeks, the words that I have had thrown at me I can’t repeat here and it’s 99 percent from people with my skin color. But if a white person said those words to me, what would happen?…How do we, [with Christianity] as our foundation, address this honestly with each other and these communities? Because to me, if we don’t start with ourselves in any issue, how can you point the fingers at somebody else?”

Now, a person discriminating against her for being married to a white man is wrong. Period. But, is she also closing her eyes to the root causes of issues in the black community? Constantly pointing the finger at what’s wrong with black people isn’t necessarily the most productive. And the fact that she has a platform to reach people and to make the masses aware of certain issues, many believe it's simply annoying that she decides to use it for placing blame on the black community.

Thoughts?

Get those vocals ready.  One of our fave new show just got picked up for season 2. Deets inside...

Lee Daniels officially has another hit show on his hands. The "Empire" creator's new show "Star" just got picked up for a season 2. The Freshman drama is all about the gritty side of the music industry following the come-up of a girl group that's just trying to survive the back-stabbing, racial tensions, and politics of the entertainment business....and real life.

Queen Latifah, Ryan Destiny, Lenny Kravitz, Tyrese, Quincy Harris, Jude Demorest, Amiyah Scott and plenty more have been bringing the heat every week, so it's only right Fox gave them the greenlight for season 2.

"Star" has been getting an average of 4.46 million viewers an episode, which is far less than "Empire," but still solidifies its place as a Wednesday night heavy hitter.

The show has seen plenty of special guest stars from Missy to Gladys Knight to Joseline Hernandez and more.  Paris Jackson is also set to make her acting debut on an upcoming episode.

Check out BTS shots below.  Congrats tot he cast!

 

So excited to announce we'll be back for Season 2! #STAR

Jay Z is all about his business and he’s reportedly expanding his massive empire even more. Get the deets on his venture capital fund and his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Plus, why Nick Cannon is threatening to sue the National Enquirer….

The Hip Hop mogul is reportedly gearing up to tread waters in the venture capital world. According to Axios, Hov is joining forces with his longtime business partner/Roc Nation President Jay Brown to launch their own VC fund. It’s reported the duo is also looking for a third full-time investment partner and they plan on teaming up with Sherpa Capital to launch the fund.

So what’s a venture capital fund? It’s investment funds“that manage the money of investors who seek private equity stakes in startup and small- to medium-sized enterprises with strong growth potential. These investments are generally characterized as high-risk/high-return opportunities.”

As you all know, Jay co-owns the music-streaming service TIDAL and recently inked a production deal with the Weinstein Company to create new and original content. According to Axios, Hov and Jay Brown have been investing in tech startups for a few years. They both invested in Uber’s Series B, private-jet startup JetSmarter, the high-tech-luggage maker Away and the nail-parlor company Julep.

Things are still on the hush-hush, so no word yet on the fund size target.

Hov stays on his grind.

In other news...

The iconic rapper will join a host of other artists to be inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. And he’s the first rapper to do so.

Hov will join Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Barry Gordy, Robert Lamm, James Pankow & Peter Cetera, p/k/a "Chicago," and Max Martin for the 2017 class.  Nice!

These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as, "I'll Make Love to You," "Money (That's What I Want)," "Tender Love," "25 or 6 to 4," "Baby One More Time" and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)." The star-studded induction event is slated for Thursday, June 15th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in NYC.

Congrats!

Nick Cannon got wind of a story the National Enquirer is about to release that questions his mental stability and claims his ex-wife Mariah Carey will be seeking full custody of their 5-year-old twins, Roc and Roe.

Well, the “America’s Got Talent” host says it’s a LIE and he’s suing for slander and defamation if the story is ran.

Here are the details from the upcoming report:

And here's what Nick clapped back with:

Sheesh!

The National Enquirer is known for printing fake stories, but they better be careful with this one or they'll have a lawsuit on their hands.

A$AP Rocky is sniffing behind Kendall Jenner in Milan for Fashion Week further fueling the dating rumors. Meanwhile, Idris Elba is steaming up a movie set with Kate Winslet. Pics inside…

Rapper A$AP Rocky is risking it all because we all know how black men end up when dealing with the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

The Harlem native jetted to Milan to join his rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner for Fashion Week, further fueling dating rumors. The twosome was spotted heading inside the same hotel. Mmhmm…

A$AP and Kendall have been spending tons of time together lately. They were last spotted together during New York Fashion Week where he popped up at an event she was hosting.

In January, the 28-year-old rapper took the 21-year-old model on a flea market shopping spree in Paris. A few days before that, they went on a double date with Kendall’s sister Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Tyga.

Maybe it's their love for fashion or it could possibly be something more.

Either way, good luck with that A$AP.

Steamy!

Hottie Idris Elba got in some tongue action with actress Kate Winslet. No, Kate hasn’t left her husband for Idris. Even though...nevermind.

They were on the set of a romance drama titled The Mountain Between Us, which follows a pair that survive a plane crash in the mountains. They are forced to trust each other and find safety while badly injured.

And as you can see, it looks like the pair started falling for one another.

In the flicks, Idris and Kate are seen kissing and hugging as they shot several scenes:

So fine.  And we're SO jealous.

Young Black Hollywood had everyone on notice with their funky prints and bold colors at the Young Hollywood soiree in L.A. yesterday. Go to check out Yara Shahidi, Cynthia Erivo, Ashley Madekwe and more…

Funky prints and bold colors were the trend at Vanity Fair and L’Oreal Paris’ toast to Young Hollywood event held at Deliah in West Hollywood last night.

““black•ish” starlet Yara Shahidi, Tony Award winning Broadway star Cynthia Erivo and “Salem” star Ashley Madekwe had the most fun with their festive looks for the star-studded affair:

Yara, rocking a multi-colored Chanel sweatshirt with red and white striped Chanel trousers,  made her way down the carpet alongside her mom/twin Keri Shahidi. The 17-year-old just celebrated a birthday this month, and she's certainly earned the "young Hollywood" label.

Cynthia Erivo rolled up on the scene in a J. Crew Bengal tiger printed ensemble catching everyone’s eye.  We're pretty much obsessed. “The Color Purple” Broadway star recently won her first Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

Ashley had tons of fun with her strapless printed peplum top and pants by Johanna Ortiz.

“Empire” star Serayah, who has been heating up social media with her dance rehearsal videos, was much more laid back with her ensemble. By the way, she'll be returning to the small screen when "Empire" returns next month.

“The Get Down” star Shameik Moore, “Atlanta” actor Lakeith Stanfield, and FENCES actor Jovan Adepo were in the mix for the young Hollywood bash:

All Eyez On Me actress Kat Graham hit the carpet in powder pink floor length gown for the affair. She’s set to hit the big screen as Jada Pinkett Smith in the Tupac biopic when it hits theaters in June.

Hmm...

Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei served up an interesting look.  We're usually here for everything she gives, but this look here is....interesting.

Our fave beauty blogger Jackie Aina sashayed down the carpet in a flirty frock that works.

Singer/actress LeToya Luckett, who has been hot on the L.A. scene lately, posed it up with Yara.

"The Last Man On Earth" star Cleopatra Coleman kept it hot, yet sophisticated in a gold cut-out dress.

Darius McCrarystays in hot water with his wives.  This time, it's not his ex wife Karrine Steffans but his current wife Tammy Brawner.  She's claiming he is torturing and abusing her and their 16-month-old baby girl, even holding the baby over a pot of boiling hot water. 

Now, both are speaking out about the claims....

There's a lot going on in the McCrary household.

The actor's wife Tammy claims he's an abusive nut who has hit and tortured her and their youngest child, Zoey.  Basically, she accused him of being his "Star" character in real life.

Tammy filed papers in court to get a restraining order after an alleged incident went down a little over a week ago. 

The court issued the order for Darius to stay at least 100 yards away from Tammy & Zoey, and he's not even allowed to visit until their court hearing next month.

TMZ reports:

Tammy Brawner says McCrary went nuts on Feb. 10 ... hurling picture frames and other objects around the house, and hitting her in the head with his forearm. She says the objects he threw came dangerously close to their 16-month-old daughter, Zoey.

Where Zoey's concerned ... Tammy says McCrary has abused her on several instances, including one particularly horrifying time when he held the baby over a boiling pot of water and said he wished he never had her. In docs obtained by TMZ, she also accuses him of frequent spankings and strapping down Zoey's arms during meals.

Tammy also claims Darius "regularly drinks, does drugs and comes home wasted and violent."  So she's filing for divorce soon as well.

Chile...

Interestingly, Tammy is a baller in her own right. Literally. She's the 10th woman to ever be a part of the Harlem Globetrotters team. She left the organization in 2015 when she sued them in October of that year for allegedly firing her because she was pregnant. She also claimed she was sexually harassed by team coach Jimmy Blacklock.

Darius, who was also accused by his ex-wife Karrine of abuse back in 2010 before she admitted to lying about it, says Tammy is full of it.  He says she simply wants publicity and will do anything to get on TMZ.  Darius' attorney said in a statement:

"[Tammy] is no victim ... she is a predator motivated by a desperate desire to extort money out of Mr. McCrary while trying to create an advantage in an impending divorce and custody battle....Having floundered after being fired by the Globetrotters she apparently will say anything for a bit of media attention and a glimpse of the spotlight."

Sheesh.

Darius then posted a series of pics on Instagram of him and his daughters in an attempt to show his daddy skills, and also promoted the new episode of "Star" last night:

 

Riiiiight ....

Tammy also responded, saying she has zero reason to lie. She posted:

 

I have no reason to lie on ANYONE about ANYTHING. And trust and believe, I DID NOT contact the media. I haven't posted ONE thing about these matters on social media as I've tried to handle it privately and gracefully. However, these documents, unfortunately, are public record and were obviously attained. The guilty always respond guilty. I post my daughter ALL the time. I love her, I am proud of her, and I'm happy God chose me to be her mother. With that being said, I have a duty to protect her and myself. #MuchLove #ZoeysMom

The drama between Future and Rocko continues! Get into their Instagram petty inside…

Future and Rocko have been busy on social media firing shots at one another. Why? Well, a few days ago, there were rumors that Future and Rocko had finally resolved a lawsuit Rocko filed against Future. He’s suing him for breach of contract.

Rocko wants his cut after Future went behind his back and signed a deal with EPIC when he was still signed to his A1 label. To shut down the rumors, Rocko hopped on IG to make it known NOTHING had been resolved.

Following his first posts about the situation, Rocko posted up the cover art to Future’s new HNDRXX album and seemed sincere about supporting his new project.“ON SUM REAL SH*T HOMIE WORKS HARD & IS VERY TALENTED AND DESERVES ALL OF HIS SUCCESS! I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT MY BOY REGARDLESS!," Rocko wrote. 

Before Rocko posted the cover art, it’s reported Future took some shots at him via a Twitter Q&A, so it seems Rocko was taking the high road at that point. Then it went back to petty levels.

Future hopped in Rocko’s comments section and posted (then deleted) a message calling him a con artist. Check it below:

Rocko (who has now made his account private) popped back with:

THESE two...

If Future owes him some money, sounds like he'd be better off just cutting the check.

Rihanna and Naomie Harris are big achievers! Get the details on Rih's Harvard University honor and Namoie's OBE medal from Queen Elizabeth II inside....

Rihanna stays winning. 

Harvard University just selected the Bajan beauty as the recipient of their prestigious Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award for her work supporting education and health care in Caribbean and developing countries. The “Work” singer will accept the award on the university's campus next Tuesday, February 28th.

“Rihanna has charitably built a state-of- the-art center for oncology and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados,”said S. Allen Counter, the Harvard Foundation’s director.

He continued, “She has also created the Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program [named for her grandmother and grandfather] for students attending college in the U.S. from Caribbean countries, and supports the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project, a multiyear campaign that will provide children with access to education in over 60 developing countries, giving priority to girls and those affected by lack of access to education in the world today.”

Rih is all about her philanthropic work through her successful Clara Lionel Foundation, and we love it. Congrats!

Another YBF chick getting her flowers…

British beauty Naomie Harris got the award of a lifetime. The 40-year-old actress was made an OBE in London today, just days before she attends the 89th Academy Awards ceremony.

Queen Elizabeth II honored the Moonlight actress, who’s nominated for an Oscar for her role in the film, with the OBE medal at Buckingham Palace for her services in drama.

Crown her!

Looking classy and elegant in a Mary Katrantzou dress, the James Bond actress told the AP,“'I'm not going to forget this week. This is really phenomenal. This is representing my country and being recognized for having made a contribution to the nation. It can’t get better than that.”

She continued, “I credit so much to Danny Boyle. He really gave me a chance when nobody else would at the start of my career when I had no credits to my name. Then later on he gave me a part in Frankenstein at the National after having left drama school ten years before and not having done any theatre. He took a chance again and that’s how Bond happened.”

When asked about her meeting with the Queen, she said,“I was impressed by how youthful she looked. She looked incredibly young and really healthy – and she has good skin.”

As for whether she thinks she will nab the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award, she said, "I don't think I have a chance of winning at all."

Oh Naomie, we beg to differ!

EXTRAS:
