Sasheer Zamata is leaving “Saturday Night Live,” making her the third comedian to leave the show in a week. Deets inside…

Sasheer Zamata is out!

The YBF comedian is exiting“Saturday Night Live” after making us laugh the last four seasons, ending her run during Season 42’s finale this weekend. Her departure comes on the heels of two other “SNL” stars, Vanessa Bayer and BobbyMoynihan, who also revealed they are exiting.

Sasheer joined “SNL” in 2014 during a time the show was heavily criticized for a lack of diversity. In 2015, it was reported (via Splitsider) her total screen time landed at 5.43%, one of the lower percentages.

Interesting. 

The 31-year-old star didn’t get an on-screen send off, but the crew, including guest star The Rock, did celebrate with a hero’s hoist in the air last night after the live cameras were off:

 

Wow. What a fantastic end to a fantastic season, thanks SNL

The BBMAs brought everybody to the pink carpet in Vegas tonight.  DJ Khaled unknowingly shaded a K-Pop band while 15-year-old Prince Michael Jackson is totally all grown up!  Get it all inside...

DJ Khaled hit up the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas tonight to rep as the brand's major spokesman, as usual.  But he also revealed how he gets top artists to hop on his albums. 

When E! asked Khaled how the "I'm the One" collabo with Justin Bieber went down, he said he simply called up the singer and asked him to come over to lay some tracks.  Justin drove himself over to Khaled's house, and the rest is history.  Yep, it's just that easy when you've got the keys.

There was no Baby Asahd for us to drool over, but there was tons of #fanluv for Khaled out on the carpet:

But Khaled's trending on Twitter because of his reaction to K-Pop band BTS winning the Top Social Artist Award:

Hilar.

 

Looks like Michael's kids are doing fabulously these days.  Prince Michael Jackson hit the pink carpet tonight to talk about how his family is doing and what he's up to.  The seemingly well-rounded teen just finished up his latest school year.  He spent this past semester in a student organization called Heal Los Angeles focusing on child abuse and child homelessness.  He's also working as a producer on an upcoming Swedish artist's album.

By the way, he's got a matching tatt with sister Paris. Check it above.

Drake sure knows how to keep us talking.

He’s racking up a slew of trophies at the 2017 Billboard Awards, sweeping up 13 awards. The Canadian rapper BEAT Adele's record for most wins in a single night at the BBMAs.

 photo Drake2017BillboardMusicAwardsShow4R56E5O7zv8l.jpg

 

The Young Money rapper won 10 awards in the early non-televised award announcements and 3 more during the telecast, including Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Artist. While accepting the Top Billboard 200 album for VIEWS, he gave props to Ludacris, telling him he had mad respect for him even though they didn’t see eye-to-eye at one point in time.

 photo Drake2017BillboardMusicAwardsShowKTYHDtN8f9bl.jpg

You’ll recall, Luda said in a previous interview Drizzy had apologized to him and there was no beef between them. Apparently, Luda was smashing one of Drizzy's ex-chicks and he felt some type of way about it.

Drake had to make it publicly known that everything was all good between them. That was nice of him.

Drake showed love to his labelmate Nicki Minaj, whom he previously had a mini feud with. He said he’s "so glad we found our way back" and he thanked Young Money honcho Lil Wayne for giving him a chance. He also put on his charm, telling co-host Vanessa Hudgens she looks "incredible."

Lil Uzi Vert basically said real fashion is above his haters' tax (and taste) bracket. 

While hitting the pink carpet at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night, the "Money Longer" rapper responded to his haters.  As you know other rappers and the internets as a whole have been coming for Lil Uzi about his unique style, calling him feminine, "not hip hop" and using some not-so-nice words to get their point across.

When he hit the pink carpet to chop it up with hosts Sway and Jeannie Mai, Uzi had some words for the haters.

 

So, there you have it.

The first black Bachelorette stunned on the pink carpet in a backless black mini dress.  She was on hand at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas to present the Billboad Music Award for Top Country Artist.

But fellas, you may have missed your chance at scooping up the hot lawyer.   She's already engaged! 

The new season premieres Monday night, but chick has already spilled most of the beans.

I'm "very much so in love and very much so engaged," she said on a press call. "If I had a list, he would check everything off."

Apparently, she revealed the info because, as she put it, it's "a season of firsts."

USA Today reports:

Lindsay is the first woman of color to be the star of the popular ABC franchise, she's the first Bachelorette star to be named before her Bachelor season ended, she's had the most diverse cast of men vying for her heart and, at 32, "I think I'm the oldest" woman to hand out roses," she told us.

A certain reality blogger has also ALREADY revealed who her supposed fiance is (we won't repeat it here).  But, we're hoping this is all just to throw everyone off.

For the last performance of the night, Bruno livestreamed from Amsterdam during his tour stop. He performed his third single, “Versace On The Floor,” from his latest LP, 24K Magic.  And he killed it.

Is LeBron James A Sore Loser? King James Has Heckler Kicked Out & Scolds Reporter After Playoff Loss To Celtics + NY Nets To Save Biggie Mural

LeBron James and the Cavaliers took an L from the Celtics last night and King James was not happy about it. Find out why LeBron had a fan kicked out of the arena and why he scolded a reporter inside…

Last night’s lost to the Boston Celtics (111-108) during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals was a tough for Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James. Especially after the Cavs murdered the Celtics during Friday night’s game that resulted in an ending score of 130 – 86.

Apparently a fan decided to heckle King James in his own arena after the Cavs were beat by the Celtics, so LeBron flexed his star power. After the game, LeBron was about to walk into the interview room when a fan started going in on him for only putting up 11 points.

LeBron had time, so he turned around and asked him to repeat what he said. So, the fan did. Suddenly, LeBron started walking towards the heckler and asked him what has he ever done. The fan went on to say he played ball at Hiram College, a school in Hiram, Ohio. At this point, security steps in and has the fan removed.

Pretty weird a Cavs fan would heckle their star player.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst witnessed the interaction and broke down the chain of events. Check it below:

Once LeBron made it inside the interview room, it was clear he was still irritated after the lost. He scolded a reporter for only "asking questions" when they lose. Check it:

A two-story mural of the Notorious B.I.G. in Bed-Stuy is set to be destroyed. The landlord of the building, Samuel Berkowitz, is preparing to renovate the building and said he needs to remove the mural in order to add new windows.

Spread Art NYC got involved and they're trying their damnedest to keep the mural standing, even making an offer to have the mural saved.

 

 

A few updates on "king Of NY" Mural: we just want everyone to know that Spread Art NYC, your humble community Art organization has been working real hard to keep this mural up for the past year! Landlord always calls us and Claims that the neighbors are complaining about the mural and the crowds it attracts. About 4 months ago, he told us about the construction he will be doing which will damage the mural in the process. He will be opening Windows on the wall to increase rent profit by $500 according to them. Today Spread Art NYC offered $5000 (which we planned to gather from the community and the fans) not to open the windows. Unfortunately, that offer was declined and it was answered by a counteroffer of $1250 a month. At this point, there is nothing Spread Art NYC can do to save this mural. We will continue to serve our neighborhoods regardless!! Community is our goal, we like to give back and we thought A biggie mural at the corner of #bedfordandquincy was needed to keep the culture alive, to keep Brooklyn Alive. We always say, Brooklyn is Biggie and Biggie is Brooklyn. A landlord can NEVER change that! We want to thank everyone for the love! We promise, we GOT YOU!!! #spreadartnyc #20bigyears #bedstuy #bedfordstuyvesant #biggie #kingofny #livefrombedfordstuyvesant #spreadloveitsthebrooklynway

A post shared by Spread Art NYC (@spreadartnyc) on

Their offer was declined though. 

 

Now, the New York Nets have partnered up with Spread Art NYC to keep the mural up in Brooklyn. The NBA team announced they are stepping in to try and save the mural on what would have been the rapper’s 45th birthday.

 

 

On Instagram, rapper T.I. hopped in the comments section of one blog and offered to help save the mural as well.

Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way.

Kansas City player Jeremy Maclin got married to his longtime

Congrats are in order for Jeremy Maclin and the love of his life.

The Kansas City wide receiver tied the knot to his longtime girlfriend Adia Kuzma on Saturday at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis.

Several of his NFL buddies were in attendance, including Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, who played with Maclin on the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an Eagles reunion as former Eagles coach Andy Reid was also in attendance.

Meek Mill is having all types of fun over in Dubai with his alleged girlfriend…plus possibly two more. Get the scoop on his antics, plus peep pics of Drake catching a sweet tooth in Las Vegas and Frank Ocean in NYC inside…

Since Meek Mill and Nicki Minja called it quits, the MMG rapper has been out here doing the most. Not that we didn’t expect him to. Many of us tend to do the most after a bad breakup. And the fact that his breakup was on display for the world to see, well, he’s likely just trying to keep his mind off things.

Over the weekend, the Philly rapper was in Dubai partying it up with "Love & Hip Hop: New York" star Cardi B and others to celebrate Yo Gotti’s birthday. Once videos started being uploaded to social media, it was revealed Meek had his new chick Nessa Colombiana with him. They were busy throwing back shots with Cardi in the club:

But apprently, Nessa isn't the only chick he's chilling with in Dubai. A chick named Lece is also in the mx:

Oh, and there's more. According to Tea Tenders', there's allegedly a third chick:

And it appears Lece may be a little mad she's not the main chick in the bunch. She erased all traces of Meek on her social media and has been playing Drake songs on her Instagram Stories.

 

We guess...

By the way, Meek dropped a new track today titled "Glow Up":

In YBF spottings...

After his epic night at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, Drake hit up the Sugar Factory to debut the new “Night Owl” goblet at Fashion Show in Vegas.

We wonder if Drizzy slid up in Vanessa Hudgens' DM's after he started following her on Instagram last night.

On the east coast...

In a rare spotting, singer Frank Ocean was spotted strolling through SoHo. He's currently going through a nasty lawsuit fired off by his father. His dad is gunning for $14.5 million. Sheesh!

The Cannes cuties are out and about in the city. Go inside to see what birthday girl Naomi Campbell, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Jourdan Dunn and Winnie Harlow are up inside…

She’s stunning. She’s one of the baddest in the modeling game. And it’s her birthday.

Naomi Campbell turned 47 on Monday and she’s currently in Cannes living it up, as she should. After hosting her Fashion For Relief charity event, the YBF model was spotted leaving the Cap Eden Roc Hotel, likely heading out for some birthday fun.

The birthday girl was joined by a friend as they exited the hotel via boat. We wonder what she'll be doing to celebrate tonight. We're sure it'll be something luxe, like her.

Mary J. Blige went from this...

Our girl Mary J. Blige has that “f*ck boi free” glow up in full effect. After hitting the runway at Naomi’s event, the R&B Queen hit the runway at 'The Meyerowitz Stories' screening during the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival held at Palais des Festivals. And she did not come to play.

Victims As Young As 8-Years-Old Killed In Ariana Grande Manchester Concert Attack + Outpouring Of Love & Condolences

Hours after a horrific bomb exploded at Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester, 22 have been confirmed dead and The Islamic State terrorist group has claimed responsibility.  Details inside, including an outpouring of celebrity love and support for the victims...

Late last night, news broke that an explosion at the iconic Manchester Arena near London had killed and wounded a vast number of people.  Based on witness accounts, Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman concert was ending and many were leaving the venue when an explosion -- which we now know happened near the entry of the arena -- shook the ground and lit up the arena.

Screaming, running, and even some trampling ensued with people attempting to escape the 21,000-seat arena as quickly as possible.

It has been confirmed as of this morning that 22 are dead, 59 wounded, and The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the horrendous, cowardly act that involved nails being shot at high speed.  Blood was reportedly everywhere with the wounded strewn about.

Allegedly, the British authorities do know the identity of the bomber but are not yet releasing the information.  They also reportedly were tipped off previously about the bomber's involvement in a terrorist group.

The Guardian reports:

Greater Manchester police have confirmed that they believe the bombing was the responsibility of one man armed with an improvised explosive device. The man is among the dead.

It's disgustingly sad that one of the most vulnerable groups -- kids and teens attending a pop concert -- was targeted (directly or indirectly).  Many of the fatalities are very young and deemed "soft targets".

The Telegraph reports:

The first confirmed fatality was 18-year-old sixth form student Georgina Callender, an Ariana Grande "superfan" from Lancashire who met her idol in 2015 and was excited to see her on stage last night.

An eight-year-old girl, Saffie Rose Roussos, was also confirmed as having been killed after becoming separated from her mother and sister.

Incredibly sad.

While Ariana herself is physically unharmed, she is understandably emotionally distraught, in hysterics and inconsolable. She has postponed her tour. She reportedly told her team she can't even think of performing after what has happened to her fans. She tweeted last night:

Celebs, including Drake who just left Europe on his recent tour, have shown an outpouring of love and support for the artist and the victims of this tragedy.

 

 

Heavy Hearted for all who were affected by tonight's senseless attack! Sending prayers up!

A post shared by Kelly Rowland (@kellyrowland) on

While many parents are still desperately searching for their children, there are fraudulent missing people reports being circulated, so please beware.

 

Our hearts and prayers are with all those affected in any way by this horrific occurrence.

Brandy has responded to the pregnancy rumors. She’s also wildin’ out on stage.  Plus, Benzino and Althea Heart are seemingly back on. More inside…

 photo brandy1.png

Brandy posted up a picture on Instagram recently that had everyone thinking she may have a bun in the oven. Even her former “Moesha” co-star Countess Vaughn chimed in with a premature "Congrats."

 photo brandy2.png

Apparently, Countess thought Brandy had a bun in the oven based on the picture she posted and rumors floating around social media. She posted a comment in Brandy's comment section saying, "Congrats on the baby I'm sooooo happy for you and I love you."

The fact Brandy has been flaunting her new bae Sir William James The Baptist all over her social media handles likely helped make the rumors believable, however, the “Have You Ever” singer says she’s NOT with child. It's more like a food baby:

 photo brandy4.png

There you have it.

During a recent concert, Brandy went in on an ex-lover and his new chick, dubbing the new girlfriend a “broke b*tch.” Yikes!

Check it:

She's been on one these days.

In another coupledom situation...

 photo Zino2.jpg

Well look who’s back together.

Former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Benzino and Althea Heart appear to have kissed and made up (again).

 photo Zino1.jpg

One of Benzino’s ex-chicks blasted him on Instagram for cheating on Althea recently, but they’re trying to put that behind them and move forward.  Not to mention their stint on "Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars" was one for the books.  But some type of way, here we are with Zino and Thi-Thi together again.

The couple was spotted leaving CATCH restaurant together the other night where Zino professed his love for his child’s mother. He admitted to cheating and said he regrets doing it. Althea looks like she’s ready to take him back too…IF he cops her another 24 carat diamond ring.

Check it:

Well alright.

 

EXTRAS:

 

1. Chris Brown will not be present during a court hearing for his ex-girlfriend Karrueche's permanent restraining order. STORY
