One of our fave YBF couples were serving up #BlackLove.

A pregnant Ciara and her hubby Russelll Wilson were all wrapped up in love while enjoying some quality time together vibing out to soulful tunes all night.

Gotta love these two. Peep the cutesy clip above.

As for a YBF couple on the scene...

Retired NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa Bryant got dressed up to attend Tribeca Shorts: Animated Shorts curated by Whoopi Goldberg during the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival held at the SVA Theatre last night.

The Bryants, who welcomed baby girl Bianka Bryant in December, left the kiddies at home for some grown folks fun. The couple posed it up with a few of the participants at the festival on the red carpet before speaking to the media. 

Another couple out and about....

From gym workouts to jet setting!

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are still joined at the hip. The new couple was spotted heading to the airport in Miami together. Hmm…another couples getaway perhaps? We’re not exactly sure, but we wouldn’t be surprised if they were heading out on another BAEcation.

Since news broke that JLo and A. Rod were dating, these two have been inseperable. Over the Easter holiday, J-Rod jetted to the Dominican Republic, where JLo was set to perform, to celebrate with their families. Cute.

By the way, JLo's "World Of Dance" is set to premiere May 30th at 10/9c on NBC.

We’ve got candids of YBF celebs hanging out with their kiddies! Go inside to see Mariah Carey& Nick Cannon, Kobe& Vanessa Bryant, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen on parent duty inside…

So, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have been spending more time together lately. Granted, their 5-year-old twins, Roc & Roe, have tagged along with them on their outings, but they’ve certainly been joined at the hip more than usual.

It seems shortly after Mimi called it quits with her backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, the Grammy Award winner and the former “America’s Got Talent” host started making more public appearances together. Sometimes, family can be the best thing for you after a breakup.

Yesterday, Mariah, Nick and the twins were seen leaving Au Fudge restaurant in West Hollywood after dining on some good eats.

On Thursday, Nick is scheduled to co-host alongside Wendy Williams on her daytime talk show and she said she plans on asking him everything that’s going on between him and his ex-wife. Nothing is off limits. And we all know Nick doesn’t mind answering tough questions, so it should be interesting.

Another YBF family out and about...

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant returned to the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday. This time, they brought their daughters Natalia (14)and GiannaBryant (10) along with them for the premiere of Kobe's "Dear Basketball" animation. Unfortunately, the adorableness that is Bianka Bryant didn't make an appearance on the red carpet.

The retired NBA legend was tapped to speak on a panel with “Good Morning America” anchor Michal Strahan and Disney animator Glen Keane (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas) for the "Tribeca Talks: Kobe Bryant with Glen Keane" held at BMCC Tribeca PAC in NYC.

Kobe's former Lakers coach Phil Jackson was also in the mix. 

The former Lakers baller sat on a panel with Glen (moderated by Michael) to screen and chat about their new animated short film “Dear Basketball.” Glen took Kobe's "Dear Basketball" poem and transformed it into a short animated film, set to the music of composer John Williams.

You’ll recall, the five-time NBA champion penned a poem with the same title to announce his retirement from the NBA after an epic 20 years in the game.

“From growing up with Japanese anime to the classic Disney pieces, I’ve been a huge animation fan for a while,” Kobe said. “I’ve been a huge animation fan for a while. I just feel like animation can communicate more things, and more levels, than live action can, at times. I think there’s certain things that can be expressed through animation, be it emotion, or a conscious though, or a subconscious idea.”

Kobe's "Dear Basketball" will continue to be screened during the Tribeca Film Festival.

Kobe's daughters are so gorgeous...and tall! 

This morning...

Black Mamba was spotted walking out of the "Good Morning America" studio. During his chat on “GMA,” Kobe revealed he does NOT miss basketball, but it’s still a big part of him.

“No, I don’t. It’s crazy,” the 38-year-old said. “I started playing when I was 2. After playing for 20 years in the league, what I have now is -- everything I’ve learned from the game, I carry with me to this day. The game has never truly left me. Physically, yes. But emotionally, and the things that I write, all stem from the game. So it’s still a part of me.”

He added,“The other thing is that, for the athletes that come next, understand that there is a finale to it. And that’s OK.”

Peep his full interview, plus a sneak peek at "Dear Basketball" below:

Another YBF couple hanging out with their kid...

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen took their daughter Luna Simone for a stroll through the SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan yesterday. The model mom pushed baby Luna in a stroller as John and their entourage trekked along with them.

Later...

After spending time with Luna, John and Chrissy -- rocking a white Mestiza mini dress -- got ready for a night out on the town. Just the two of them. They took it back to their high school days with the R&B crooner lacing his wife’s arm with a flower corsage before they stepped out on their date.

Cute.

Mel B is responding to her former nanny who fired off a defamation lawsuit. Meanwhile, Stephen Belafonte has the nerve to be seeking a cash advance amid the divorce. Go figure. Deets inside…

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte’s divorce just get messier by the day.

Now, the nanny at the center of their divorce is clapping back at Mel B’s claims she made in the divorce paperwork. As you know, the former Spice Girl claims the nanny, Lorraine Gilles, had sex with her estranged husband, got pregnant and had an abortion.

Mel is admitting that she engaged in threesomes with Lorraine, but adds that they were creeping around behind her back.

It’s being reported Stephen convinced Mel and Lorraine to participate in threesomes over the 7 years Lorraine worked as their nanny. Mel claims Stephen and Lorraine went behind her back and had sex without her. Sources tell TMZ Stephen also convinced Mel to have threesomes with several people over their 10-year marriage.

Well, Lorraine claims Mel is lying.

In the defamation suit, Lorraine says she never had an affair with Stephen. She also claims she was NEVER pregnant by Stephen, nor did he force her to have an abortion. We hear Lorraine was hired (from Germany) to be a nanny for their children when she was 18. The ex-nanny claims Mel "seduced" her with "alcohol, fame and casual sex." She wants everyone to know she's no homewrecker.

Meanwhile, Stephen is stirring up some additional drama. It’s being reported he’s requesting a “cash advance” to help pay for his living expenses while they battle it out in court. Did he bump his head?

Mel has declined his request and instead has accused Stephen of stealing over $860,000 from her!

Mel’s lawyer explains in new court papers, "He [Stephen] has plenty of funds I assume from the amounts he has earned and continues to earn (and taken) to pay for his expenses. We do not believe your client is entitled to much, if any, of the community, but will owe Mel for the amounts he has taken from her without her knowledge or consent."

Chile….no shame in his game.

With everything going on, it seems Mel is trying to keep her home life with her kids as normal as possible. She was spotted grabbing lunch with her kids at Nobu in Malibu over the weekend. We see she's feeling this all white everything trend.

Stevie J and his kids stepped out in Atlanta to celebrate with Joseline Hernandez for her birthday. And she debuted a new look. Flicks inside…

Bonnie Bella’s parents are back together and seemingly moving forward with their relationship.

We all saw how nasty their last breakup was with Stevie first denying Bonnie was his, then he filed for full custody. Now that all of the drama is behind them (for now), they’re back to being wrapped up in love. They even celebrated their daughter's first Easter together last weekend.

Last night, the self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess celebrated her birthday at Gold Room in Atlanta. Debuting a new look, the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star rocked blue contacts to accessorize her look. The “Baby Daddy” rapper rolled into the club rocking a custom made leather Cecilio Castrillo corset and matching hat.

Oh, ok.

Chick had to show off those post-baby curves we guess.  She welcomed baby Bonnie back in December 2016.

 

A post shared by David Price Sr. (@pricelessphotos_) on Apr 23, 2017 at 6:30pm PDT

These two.

Stevie's sons, Dorian and Steven Jr., were also in the mix to party it up for Joseline's b'day.

Certainly can't say we saw this one coming.  Splitsville Lane just got new residents: Jesse Williams & Aryn Drake-Lee! Deets inside...

Multiple sources confirm "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams is getting a divorce after 5 years of marriage.  The divorce was filed last week, reportedly.

According to The Jasmine Brand, the two have been separated for "a while" and have been trying to keep it on the low.

So much for that.

TMZ says the split is "amicable," even though it's unclear who actually filed first.

The couple have two young children together -- 1 and a half-year-old son Maceo and 3-year-old daughter Sadie.  They've been together for a total of 10 years.

Sheesh.

Now that everybody's political activist bae is pretty much back on the market, we have a feeling thing s are about to get interesting in these celeb streets.

Serena Williams just reclaimed the No. 1 spot in tennis and to celebrate, she penned a very sweet message to her unborn “No. 1.” Catch the feels, plus find out how she responded to tennis player Ilie Nastase's racist comments about her baby inside…

The new WTA rankings are in and Serena Williams has reclaimed the No. 1 spot, a week after revealing she’s pregnant with her first child.

To celebrate being back on top, the tennis champ wrote a touching open letter to her unborn child that’s super sweet. The 34-year-old mom-to-be wrote:

My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn’t know I had. You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace. I can't wait to meet you. I can't wait for you to join the players box next year. But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you.... once again today. On @alexisohanian bday. from the world's oldest number one to the world's youngest number one. -Your Mommy

Today is bittersweet for her husband-to-be/Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. It’s his birthday and it’s the 102nd anniversary of Armenian genocide. He posted:

After Rena shared her special note to her unborn baby, she hopped back on Instagram to address racist comments made by former No. 1 tennis player Ilie “Nasty” Nastase. It’s reported the 70-year-old Romanian was overheard making racist comments about Serena and Alexis’ baby, allegedly saying “Let’s see what color it has. Chocolate with milk?”

Ridiculous.

"Nasty" reportedly made the comment on Friday while one of his players, Simona Halep, was answering press questions about Serena before a Fed Cup playoff against Great Britain.

Rena clapped back at the racist remarks with facts and love, saying:

Now, an investigation led by the International Tennis Federation has been launched and Serena is backing the investigation 100%. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if some type of punishment will follow his disgusting remarks...

The hate when it comes to Serena is SO real.

Bob Marley’s widow Rita Marley attended a festival in Miami to see her sons (Marley Brothers) and Lauryn Hill rock the stage. Also, Floyd Mayweather was there with a new mystery chick. Pics inside…

For the first time in two decades, the Marley Brothers –including Stephen, Ziggy, Damien and Ky-Mani – reunited for a performance over the weekend. They were the headliners for the inaugural Kaya Fest 2017 held at Bayfront Park Amphitheater in Miami yesterday. They also curated the acts for the cannabis awareness festival, of course.

Rita Marley, mother of Ziggy and Stephen, was in attendance to see the Marley Brothers, Lauryn Hill and several other acts do what they do best. The Marley Brothers performed some of their own songs before singing some of their father’s classic hits, including “Is This Love” and “Easy Shanking.”

Before the Marley Brothers hit the stage, Lauryn Hill set the stage on fire blazing through her classic album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

If you’ve been to a Lauryn Hill concert lately (or checked out a performance online), you know she has remixed most of her tracks with an extra funk style twist.

While Rita wasn’t Lauryn’s mother-in-law, we do wonder if they get along.

Lauryn’s Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean also hit the stage for the festival, along with Pitbull and Sean Paul.

In the audience...

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather (who's reportedly coming out of retirement soon) was spotted cozying up to a mystery chick. Y'all know he likes to keep a new one on his arm.

Twitter created a bad a** hacker film that stars Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o and now we’re all praying to the movie gods it can come into fruition. Get into the film details, plus why RiRi is stirring up drama on social media inside…

Twitter can be so crafty.

Users came up with a whole movie that would star Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o,all based on RT's of a pic of the two at a past Fashion Week show. And now, it seems the Oscar winner is working overtime to make it happen.

Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans https://t.co/PhWs1xd3nj

— k (@1800SADGAL) April 18, 2017

This tweet—attached with a picture of Rihanna and Lupita at the Miu Miu Fashion show in Paris in 2014—morphed into a series of sketched images that look like the makings of a story board that would bring our fave Pop princess and Hollywood starlet together in a made up hacker film.

Rih scheming rich white men while Lupita serves as the brains for the operation? Yeah, we'd be here for it. And so would the 12 Years A Slave actress.

First, she hopped on Twitter to see if Rih would be down...and the Bajan beauty totally was!  

Then, a few days after her initial post, she hopped on Instagram and posted up the sketched images of what would be the make believe hacker film:

Lupita even threw in two of our other faves, director Ava DuVernay and "Insecure" actress/writer Issa Rae, in the mix to work behind-the-scenes.

She captioned, “Not #FanArtFriday, but had to shout out the amazing #FanArt for our #NeverBeenMade #TwitterInspired movie, CASHING IN, starring me & @badgalriri, directed by @directher and written by @issarae. (Artists largely unknown. Please tag 'em)”

We're not even mad at Lupita for getting the ball rolling on this one.  We gotta create our own scripts sometimes. You here for it?

Speaking of Rih...

The “Work” singer loves to have fun. But sometimes her fun comes at the expense of her fans feelings being butt hurt. She’s unbothered though.

Anyhoo, the ANTI singer stirred up some controversy when she started posting photoshopped flicks of Queen Elizabeth on her body. And, of course, Rih put Queen Elizabeth’s head on some of her risqué ensembles.

Some of Rih’s British fans were NOT feeling her posts, flooding her comments criticizing her for the posts. They called her disrespectful and accused her of trolling the Queen. Meanwhile, other fans found the flicks quite funny.

Check 'em out below:

The "Work" singer captioned the picture above, "It's not that deep."

Well, after all of the backlash, Rih popped back with another flick of the Queen. She posted a picture of the Royal Family matriarch rocking a pair of Dior sunglasses and captioned it, “Haters will say it’s photoshop.”

Teehee.

Jesse Williams filed paperwork to get joint custody of the kids.  But that alleged prenup and spousal support is making things interesting...

Fresh off reports "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams and wife Aryn Drake-Leehave filed for divorce, Jesse also reportedly is seeking joint custody of their two young children.

Reports state it was Jesse who filed the divorce petition on July 11th, and he requested physical and legal joint custody of little Sadie& Maceo.

But there's more.  Jesse also wants to deny Aryn spousal support.  And, word has it, they don't have a pre-nup.  TMZ reports:

As for spousal support -- Jesse checked the box asking the court to deny her spousal support. That sometimes means the couple has a prenup ... but we're told that's not the case for Jesse and Aryn.

No spousal support AND no prenup?  Hopefully this doesn't get messy.

EXTRAS:

1.  After Mel B. asked for the courts to deny Stephen Belafonte any type of visitation or contact with any of her 5 kids, Stephen won court-monitored visitation only with Madison. STORY

Carmelo Anthony was spotted in good spirits while out with son Kiyan, but his estranged wife La La still looks like she's over it all.  Pics inside...

Kiyan Anthony had a school play the other day, and his parents weren't going to miss it despite all of the media attention on their newly broken marriage.

NBA baller Carmelo was spotted laughing and smiling with pre-teen Kiyan after the kid's big day as they went to grab ice cream to celebrate. 

La La was spotted hitting the Tribeca Film Fest last night in all white Chanel:

Loving this Chanel bag.

But the almost ex-Mrs. Anthony wasn't really here for the cameras earlier yesterday.  While rocking a hot pink Famous Nobodys sweatshirt (her brother Christian's clothing line) and making sure her ringless left hand was on display, the "Power" actress was spotted hiding under her hoodie while leaving the Greenwich Hotel.

Reports state the prenup the two signed back in 2010 may be challengeable by La La, and she could end up getting a pretty big settlement from Melo, who is in the middle of a $124M Knicks deal.

Word has it the author-actress is mainly concerned with being surrounded by her friends to help her get through the cheating and divorce scandal -- she had lunch recently with her bestie Ludacris.  She's also focusing on her son, who she's been granted temporary custody of with Melo seeing him a couple times a week.

DJ Zeke, whose government name is Joshua Thomas, is using his platform as the openly gay son of a legendary NBA Hall of Famer to open up about an important issue -- rape.  He says he wants gay men to stop covering up the heinous acts that happen to them, and he's setting the example.  Get his story inside.

28-year-old Zeke Thomas made a major reveal today.  As he stars in a PSA for sexual assault prevention, the son of NBA legend Isiah Thomas is talking about his own horrific experience that happened in his own Chicago apartment.

In addition to telling his story on "GMA" this morning, he talked to NY Mag in depth about being drugged and raped a year ago by a man he met on the dating app Grindr.

“We had chatted on Grindr, and I had invited him to come by my studio since he was a singer,” he says. “Nothing against Grindr. I’ve met great people on Grindr I’ve had sex with great people on Grindr. I can’t blame an app. But you don’t know shit about people you meet on it.” In any case, they’d not hooked up right away. “He seemed like a great guy. We hung out at the recording studio. And then a couple of days later he said, let’s go to Boys Town,” the gayborhood in Chicago, “for a drink.”

He had previously felt safe in the neighborhood, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

“All I remember is… getting in the cab. I know that I got drugged. I knew probably the moment that it happened because something didn’t taste right. But I didn’t think about it. I just didn’t think about it…” The next thing he knew it was the next morning. “It was literally like with Bill Cosby. When those women were like: I woke up and he was fixing me breakfast or whatever.” He pauses for a while, and then continues, quietly. “I woke up and he was handing me a glass of water and saying that was great let’s hang out again.”

Zeke then recalls exactly how he felt afterwards, in full detail, saying:

“My ass was destroyed. Destroyed. I’m bleeding,” Thomas recalls. “And I’m just like–terrified. I can’t move. I didn’t move from my apartment for two days. I didn’t move. I didn’t talk to anybody. I froze.” When he went to find the guy on Grindr, he either had blocked him or removed himself from the app.

He says it's not an easy thing for gay men to talk about, due to pre-conceived notions of hypersexuality:

There is an attitude among gay men, or at least about gay men and in turn then internalized by gay men that, as Thomas remembers straight friends saying, “‘Oh, you guys are always down. You’re always having sex anyway. You have Grindr; it’s so easy.’ And it’s like–really? All guys? And even guys who are promiscuous have a choice.”

He also revealed how this rape led to drug use and eventually his parents stepped in:

“I started getting into drugs and I started telling people when I was high. But they’re high too. They don’t want to talk about this shit.” Eventually, while high on mushrooms, he told his parents, who flew him back to New York (his dad is part owner and president of the WNBA New York Liberty), and got him to a doctor and into therapy.

Zeke, who also revealed he was first raped at the age of 12, went on to write a song called "Dealing With It" about his horrific experience.   He’s also just become the first male ambassador for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.  About honoring his family name, he says:

“You look at my dad and Magic,” Johnson, whose son EJ is also gay, “You have strong black men, whose sons are gay and are also strong black men, who are living their truth and expressing their truth,” he says. “I want every young black, brown, white gay kid to know that we’re going to breathe. We’re going to keep going. We’re going to keep marching.”

Keep speaking out!

Aaron Hernandez’s family laid him to rest yesterday in a private funeral service. Soon after, the third person her wrote a suicide note to was revealed after rumors of him having an inmate lover. Pics and deets inside…

The family of Aaron Hernandez said their final goodbyes in an invite-only funeral service held in his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut.

The former New England Patriot tight end reportedly committed suicide in his jail cell last week after hanging himself from a bed sheet tied to a prison cell window. He was serving a life sentence for the death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. He committed suicide days after he was acquitted of murder charges in the shooting deaths of two men in Boston in 2012.

Aaron’s fiancée Shaynna Jenkins (who’s suing the Dept. of Corrections), his 4-year-old daughter Avielle, his mother Terri Hernandez (below), family, friends and former teammates turned out for the private funeral service. Police blocked the street in front of O’Brien Funeral Home to keep spectators away. Although, there were some people spotted on a hill looking down at those who came out to the funeral.

After the service, the family issued a statement via Aaron’s lawyer Jose Baez thanking everyone for their condolences and asking for privacy as they mourn their loved one.

Just hours before the service, a Bristol Superior Court judge ruled that the estate of Aaron Hernandez would receive copies of the suicide notes he wrote before he took his life. It was previously reported he wrote three separate notes – one to his fiancée, one to his daughter and the other was rumored to be addressed to an alleged prisonmate lover.

Now, the third recipient’s identity has been revealed.

Newsweek’s Michele McPhee, Aaron’s confirmed the third note was addressed to convicted robber Kyle Kennedy. There aren’t any details about what was written in the note.

I've been able to confirm this man is Kyle Kennedy, the inmate Aaron Hernandez allegedly left a letter for. Live at 8 #Boston25pic.twitter.com/qeCYN9LWqz

— Catherine Parrotta (@C_Parrotta) April 25, 2017

According to 247Sports, the suicide note to Kyle Kennedy will shed light on the entire situation.

“[The letter] could back up an alleged motive for Hernandez to kill Odin Lloyd which is why he was in jail serving a life sentence in the first place and not in uniform for the New England Patriots. Lloyd reportedly knew about Hernandez's sexuality and could have passed that information along with his girlfriend who is the sister of Hernandez's fiancée."

On the heels of Jesse Williams filing for divorce, the rumor mill is spinning about a possible thing going on between him and actress Minka Kelly.  Deets inside....

Woke bae went and got himself a brunette, this according to the gossip mill.

Just one day after news of Jesse Williams & Aryn Drake's divorce broke, the messy details are spilling.

Not only did Jesse file for joint custody of the estranged couple's two kids while denying Aryn any spousal support (even though there's no pre-nup), he's allegedly been publicly hanging out with "Jane the Virgin" star Minka Kelly.

A few weeks ago, a blind item was posted on a gossip site that hinted QUITE hard that Jesse Williams and Minka were the parties involved.  Two actors -- a married one in a hoodie with gorgeous eyes from a popular Thursday night tv show and the other has dated plenty of Hollywood men and athletes -- were spotted holding hands together in Paris.  And they were acting very couple-like.

Hmph.

Here's the full blind item posted:

"We walked along with them for almost three blocks in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. They were trying to be incognito. He was wearing a hoodie and she was wearing a cap but I recognized them immediately. He looked a little tense and was trying hard not to be noticed. She looked very happy and content. They were holding hands and being very romantic. They were definitely acting like a couple!"

She is a beautiful actress who has dated at least a half dozen famous men. She dated a ball player for many years and was recently linked to the that slimy actor who is more handy with his mouth than his fidelity.

You might know this actor by certain parts of his anatomy, like his beautiful eyes. He is on a very popular Thursday night TV show. The only thing you need to know about his relationship history is that he is MARRIED.

Here's what's interesting: Jesse and Minka (who famously dated Derek Jeter), snapped a pic together back in January in Paris.  They have been working on a new project together for the last several months:

Minka has also turned off all comments on her Instagram page.  Hmph! 

Today, Jesse was spotted for the first time since the divorce news. He was seen without his wedding ring, but was sending a clear message with the words, "Don't Believe the Hype" on the back of his jacket.

Chile...

Sources are also saying Jesse feels his marriage has simply fizzled out, while Aryn does not want the divorce.

Oh, ok girl.  Rashida Jones has a preference when it comes to watching adult content. Find out what the actress revealed about viewing porn and more inside…

Listen, we're all about sexually liberated women.  So round of applause to actress Rashida Jones for letting folks know what's up.

When it comes to watching porn, Rashida has preference. And she’s not afraid to share what she likes to see when two (or more) adults are getting it in.

She’s currently on the promo trail for her Netflix original series “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On” (that she’s executive producing). The six-episode series will cover topics about sex, technology and dating. The series came about after good reviews on Hot Girls Wanted, her 2015 documentary about amateurs getting into the porn industry.

While chopping it up with Refinery 29, she spilled what she enjoys seeing when it comes to adult content. The “Parks and Recreation” star wants to know what she’s watching are real orgasms and that the people engaged in the act are having fun.

"Working in this space has for sure affected my relationship with porn. To be honest, I struggled even before we started working together [on the show]. When you go search for porn, the first stuff that pops up is not the stuff I wanted to see. It was very violent and abusive, and it was hard for me to find something to reflect my desires. And now that I know more and more about it, I'm getting pickier with my porn, like I am with my food. I want to know how it was made, I want to know that everybody's having a good time, and I want to know that the orgasms are real. I mean, I can't know all that stuff, but I want it to feel that way at least."

She noted women like porn just as much as men and that women can get aroused by almost any sexual act.

“But women are turned on by everything! Animal sex, fantasies, gay sex, orgies, everything. We’re so complex. So let us be complex and be turned on by all types of different things — not just male fantasies."

So, does Rashinda feel porn is empowering or degrading for women?

"It's so personal, and I think it’s dangerous to declare anything as the road to female empowerment, period. Some girls are really self-possessed, and they know what they're doing, and they love sex, and they've always wanted to do it, and they're camming and they have control over what they're doing. And then some girls are just not built for it. But I think there's a pressure to feel like you should be empowered by it. And not everybody is. It's different for everyone."

Interesting take.

We love a good real life YBF story and we’ve got a good one for you. Nancy Twine is an entrepreneur making boss moves in the hair care world. And, she also holds the title of the youngest African-American woman to launch a line at Sephora. Meet the fab chick inside…

#BlackGirlMagic is in full effect.

Nancy Twine is the 31-year-old Founder & CEO of Briogeo, a plant-powered line of hair care. And get this, you can cop products from her line from beauty retail giant (and our fave beauty haven) Sephora!

The real life YBFer left her corporate job at Goldman Sachs to create her own line of environmentally friendly hair products. Watching her grandmother create homemade hair and beauty products inspired her to change career paths. And look at her now!

Not only is she making waves in the hair care industry, she’s also making history. She’s the youngest African-American to ever launch a line at Sephora. CONGRATS!

The University of Virginia alum spoke with The Every Girl about being an inspiration to other young black girls.

“It’s incredibly exciting and I hope that it can inspire other women of color who are looking to pursue similar ventures. Sephora has been an incredible retail partner and I’m so proud to see Briogeo making its mark in Sephora doors across the nation. I hope to inspire women who are looking to make daring career changes or who simply have an idea that they want to put into action, to pursue their dreams. Creating a product isn’t rocket science, but it does take a ton of perseverance, dedication, and focus. If you have those three things, anything is possible."

She dished to the publication about how she created her own hair care recipes and how she’s on a mission to create the “next-generation” of high performing natural products.

“I didn’t use any of my family’s own recipes when creating Briogeo because they weren’t advanced formulas and wouldn’t perform to the level we needed to create a performance-based hair care product line. While people are actively seeking natural product alternatives, I also know that most are not willing to sacrifice product performance and if I wanted to create a sustainable line, the products needed to perform as well as their synthetic counterparts. During product development, we had access to so many more innovative natural ingredients than my family or I had growing up, and I was eager to make Briogeo a “next-generation” level of high performing natural products. Despite not using original family formulas, my family’s passion for innovation, creation, and entrepreneurism has inspired every facet of Briogeo.”

Nice!

No shade, but this could be an alternative to Shea Moisture for those of you who have decided toboycott.

Keep sprinkling that #BlackGirlMagic Nancy!  Life seems pretty good for this YBF chick.

Black love is in the air!

“Ballers” actor Dulé Hill just popped the question to his co-star Jazmyn Simon!  And now, he’s gushing details about his super sweet engagement.

While on the promo trail for his new movie Sleight, the YBF actor stopped by the “Wendy Williams Show” today where he shared the funny story about how he proposed to his soon-to-be wife on Good Friday (April 14th).

The “Psych” star said he knew he was going to be busy for the next couple of weeks, so he took Jazmyn to Ojai, California for a staycation. They drove an hour away to another city and for whatever reason Jazmyn thought he was taking her meet R&B singer John Legend. She couldn't be more wrong. 

He had a hot air balloon planned where he would pop the question, despite the fact he was TERRIFIED of going.  It ended up with him getting hit him in the head. Luckily, he was OK and got back up to hear her say...yes!

Peep the clip below where he gushed the sweetest, hilarious deets:

So sweet.
