YBF chick Rachel Lindsay may not have raked in better ratings than last season's "Bachelorette" premiere, but she's STILL winning.  Find out why inside...

Rachel, spotted above at "Jimmy Kimmel" this past week, has been EVERYWHERE this past week promoting the hell out of the new season of the "Bachelorette."  As the first black Bachelorette or Bachelor in the history of the show, she admitted in a few interviews that she's feeling the pressure.  But, she's handling it flawlessly from what we can see.

"Bachelorette" had the highest ratings of the night on Monday night, beating out all other network shows including "Lucifer" and "Jane The Virgin."  5.68M viewers watched her navigate through a bevy of crazies (and a few we see potential with) on the two hur premiere.  Even though the number of viewers in the key 18-49 demo dropped 10% from Season 13's premiere numbers, who cares?!  Rachel's still engaged and "over the moon happy", which she's been telling everyone who'll listen.

Speaking of that, we can't help but wonder if these spoilers she and ABC non-traditionally leaked (the fact she's engaged) and those other leaks (like the name of the actual winner she chose) had anything to do with the lower ratings.  Still, folks are tuning in because she's fabulous AF.

The Texas lawyer paid a visit to Andy Cohen this week as he filmed his "WWHL" show from L.A.

And Rachel kept it cute on "Extra" as she showed off her engagement ring (well, the "starter" version) for host Mario Lopez.

 

Last nights hang out in my kitchen! Hey guys please follow my girl @therachlindsay ... she is this seasons Bachelorette!! SO EXCITED to see who she picks!!! #thebachelorette @bacheloretteabc #rachellindsay #obsessed

The 31-year-old visited "Bachelorette" super fan Kris Jenner.  Sigh.

She also found time to throw out the first pitch at the Dodgers game this week:

She snapped it up with the latest "Bachelor" Ben Higgins -- who just broke up with his pick Lauren Bushnell -- at the game.

If you're wondering what Rachel REALLY thinks of that Waboom guy (ughhhh we're so mad she kept him!), check out what she told Access Hollywood:

Are you watching to see who Rachel chooses?!  Who has your vote?  TBH, we don't feel like any of them are quite up to par for her.  Talk about limited options!  But here's to hoping...

Chris Rock spent last night in Atlanta hitting the club with Lil Wayne...and kissing all over his bae Megalyn.  Get it inside...

These two usually keep their love low key, but clearly they were in some kind of mood last night.

Comedian Chris Rock and actress girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke hit the club after his Total Blackout tour show in Atlanta.  And they were spotted getting kissy and cutesy in VIP.

Lil Wayne was hosting a party for signing his first athlete - Duke Williams - to his Young Money Sports agency.  Chris pulled up with Megalyn to party it up.

Weezy popped up after his daughter Reginae Carter's graduation party:

Folks love to party.

Everybody was in Cannes this past week, and the peak fabulosity had us loving all the extraness.  Get it inside...

Celebs -- mainly Nicki Minaj -- took over the amfAR Gala in Cannes this week.  Even Prison Bae Jeremy Meeks was thisclose to her all night at her table alongside designer Phillip Plein. 

Jeremy's been hitting up events and doing modeling gigs in Cannes all week.  And we hear he's got plenty of model groupies following his every move.

Before she changed into a Balmain look, Nicki Minaj hit the carpet of the gala in this sexy Roberto Cavalli number. 

It's not much of a departure from her usual, but if it aint broke...

Nicki and Bella Hadid did the most for the cameras.

The "No Frauds" rapper posed it up with her other fave Winnie Harlow too.

She loves the models.  Not mad.

Winnie and her new haircut looked hot in a see-thru lace dress.

Will Smith looked dapper in a white dinner jacket while Jada did some promo back in L.A.

Rita Ora was also in the mix.

Nicki performed while having some serious reptile vibes.

Tracee Ellis Ross was also in the mix, and turned her hotel hallway into the catwalk of catwalks:

Yassssss T-Murda!

Karrueche Tran and Quavo of Migos have been mum about their new situationship, but they're not hiding.  Check out the twosome looking like quite the couple in the club in Miami last night...
 

Fresh off Karrueche's advanced screening of her new TNT show "Claws" (which is freakin' amazing and yes, we surprised ourselves with that one), she headed off to Miami for Memorial Day Weekend.  Migos had a hosting gig at Story, so she was doing her girlfriend duties sitting right by his side.

Quavo was on the mic most of the time. Kae was sitting pretty, having some drinks and Snapchat fun with her girl:

Issa reunion!  The stars of the 2001 cult classic Baby Boy linked up for a pool party this weekend, and it looks like the sequel is officially on the way...

Taraji P. Henson and her former co-star Tamara Bass hung out with director John Singleton this weekend.  The Baby Boy director snapped pics saying he saw Taraji's star power before the rest of the world. 

But when their former co-star Tyrese chimed in posting one of John's pics saying his former on screen baby mother and girlfriend teaming up against him in a possible sequel...we damn near lost it.

 

#BabyBoy2?! And #tarajiphenson copped a new look?! Thoughts?!

Spent some time with my sis Taraji P Henson loving life and laughing hard. Memorial weekend. @tarajiphenson She is a real STARRA and the whole world knows what I knew from the get go!

Tyrese mysteriously deleted his post.  A case of the loose lips?  Hmmm.

It also looks like Taraji is getting her whole life this summer '17 now that she's on a break from "Empire." She showed off a drastic new look -- a huge chop and dye job. Let us know, are you feelin' it?!

Fifth Harmony’s Normani Kordei just spilled some dating tea about herself and her “Dancing With The Stars” co-star Bonner Bolton. Meanwhile, Niecy Nash and her husband Jay Tucker got us all mushy inside with their anniversary sweetness. Get it all inside…

There rumors about a “Dancing With The Stars” love connection. And now we have receipts.

Fifth Harmony’s Normani Kordei appeared on “Live With Kelly & Ryan” where she put the dating rumors about her and her co-star Bonner Bolton, a bull rider, to rest. Kelly Ripa asked the singer, who came in third place of the dancing competition with Val Chmerkovskiy, what was the deal with them and she set the record straight.

“Well, he asked me out. He did ask me out. I said yes, but we haven’t gone on a date yet,” she giggled.

“I should invite him to Vegas,” she said, agreeing with Kelly.

Peep the clip below:

He's kind of cute and she's gorgeous. Are you here for this love connection?

Speaking of love connections...

Niecy Nash and her husband Jay Tucker are celebrating six years of marital bliss. It’s hard staying married in Hollywod, but the “Claws” actress and her man seem to make it work.

The love birds celebrated their Memorial Day wedding anniversary with an Adidias themed party. They danced to MAJOR's "Why I Love You" and Niecy became super emotional. Peep the clips above and below:

NFL star Richard Sherman kept his promise and now a Richmond teen can go to college for free. Details inside…

Richard Sherman made a promise to a high school student and he kept his word.

Last year, the Seattle Seahawks cornerback told Varina high school student Hershai James that if she pulled her grades up and made the Honor Roll he would fund her college tuition. Well, the real life YBF Teen got her self together and made the Honor Roll as a senior this year, so the NFL star honored his word.

Every year, Richard Sherman comes to Richmond to support his former Seahawks teammate Michael Robinson with his Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Football Camp to benefit the Excel to Excellence Foundation. Michael Robinson, who is a Varina High School graduate, started the foundation in 2010 in an effort to help children who were being left behind in their education, environment and society.

The Stanford University graduate and Hershi met last year and he told her that she was an honor roll student as a senior, he would grant her a personally funded scholarship. When she realized she would be graduating as an honor roll student, she reached out to Sherman’s camp and boom! College funded.

“It goes back to knowledge is power and if you have knowledge you’re going to be as powerful as you ever want to be,” Richard told Richmond.com. “Nobody stops anybody from reading and educating themselves. Mike is only trying to empower these kids to be everything that they can be and if we can help with that with our presence, with our (autographed) jerseys (for an auction), with our words, we’ll do everything we can.”

Hershai said knowing that Richard had offered to help her through college is what motivated her to do her best for her final year of high school.

“When my senior year began, I definitely had the scholarship in my head as motivation,” Hershai said. “With being a senior, the year is really stressful. Having something to look forward to helped. It’s like saying my hard work and dedication had paid off.”

Fabulous job Hershai!

The Varina graduate will be attending Norfolk State University this fall and will study business with hopes of international travel in the future. Good for her.

Nice move Richard!

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka are still joined at the hip after recently reconciling. Check out pics from the latest outing, plus shots of Jada Pinkett Smith slaying it up for late night television inside…

No more wondering if Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka are back on. It’s clear these two are totally back together. The couple called it quits in April and just like that, they’re back together and picking up where they left off.

Over the weekend, the Grammy Award singer, rocking Wolford dream tights, and her backup dancer-turned- boyfriend were spotted outside of celeb hotspot CATCH in L.A.

This is the couple’s third spotting together, following their extra intimate date in Beverly Hills last week. As you can see, they want everyone to know they’re back together.

In other news, Mariah Carey is reportedly up to her diva antics. The Elusive Chanteuse singer shot a cameo for Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler’s new film The House, but one of the actors in the film is blasting MiMi for her ridiculous demands.

Actor Rob Huebel told Sirius XM’s EW Radio she was a NIGHTMARE to work with. Sheesh! He said she showed up four hours late and had some outrageous demands for her dressing room. He claims she requested all white roses in her trailer along with stuffed lamb animals. Are you surprised?

As for a YBF Hollywood titan...

Why is this chick so damn flawless?!

45-year-old stunner Jada Pinkett Smith left the set of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” looking like million dollars in wore a Maria Lucia Hohan dress that served up some hot leg action.

And the ensemble she wore on her way to the studio was just as HOT:

Gorge.

Check out her chat about her husband Will Smith and her new movie, Girls Trip, with the late night talkshow host below:

We'll be seeing Jada reunite with Set It Off co-star Queen Latifah in the upcoming comedy, Girls Trip.  It also stars Regina Hall.  The summer must-see hits theaters July 21st.

Oh no Tiger, what is you doin'?!  Deets on the golfer getting busted on DUI charges and his tragic mugshot inside...

Here we go again.

41-year-old Tiger Woods is still heavily on the sauce, so it seems.  The 14-time Majors winner was arrested early this morning near his home of Jupiter, FL for suspicion of driving under the influence.  TMZ reports:

The golfer was stopped by cops early Monday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He was taken in around 3 AM and released from Palm Beach County Jail at 10:50 AM.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it is.  Back in 2009, when Tiger drove into a tree and umpteen women he was accused of cheating with fell out,he was reportedly under the influence of Ambien.  He wasn't arrested at that time, but he and his then-wife Elin Nordgren had a HUGE fight beforehand and they split soon after.

Former WWE star Ariane Andrew is now addressing a comment she made about not dating black men and her desire for "cute mixed babies," but we’re not quite sold on her clarification. Find out what she said inside…

Last week, ex-WWE star Ariane Andrew (stage name Cameron) had the Internets abuzz when she made comments about her dating life. Photogs caught up with the (former?) “Total Divas” star where she made the comment,“I love white guys. I actually don’t date black guys. I just have a thing for white boys. A little vanilla, a little chocolate, they make cute babies.”

Well, we all know comments like those will ALWAYS end up with the person who spoke them getting dragged for filth.  And this time was no different.  Now, the reality star is clarifying what she meant by the comments.

During an interview with Hollywood Unlocked, Ariane said she didn’t mean any harm by her comments, she just has a preference.

“My intentions were pretty much to say I have a preference,” she said.

The self-proclaimed “Valley Girl,” who has two college degrees under her belt, said she doesn’t only date white guys, but that’s who she prefers to date because that’s who she “clicks” with. She mentioned she has dated black men before, but that had nothing to do with her choosing to date outside of her race.

She also shared she dated two African men, and said one was verbally abusive and the other was a scam artist.

Ariane, who’s currently single, said she needs a white man who can handle her extra sassiness and she feels that white men are more “submissive” than black men.

To be fair, we've heard black celeb men say all of these exact same sentiments about why they prefer to date white women instead of black women.  If you're going to drag Ariane, drag them too.

With all the controversy she caused, does she regret what she said about dating black men? Nope.

We’d like to note, she said would date Michael Ealy and The Rock.  She says they're hot.

Check it at the 7:50 mark:

Thoughts?

Bill Cosby has been rejected by his Hollywood friends and now he's paranoid as hell before he’s set to go to trail on sexual assault charges. Find out what has the fallen actor shook inside…

Well, isn’t this ironic?

It seems Bill Cosby's Hollywood friends have all turned the other cheek. At least, that's what's being reported. Apparently, all of Cosby's Hollywood friends and activist partners have totally shut him out. And now, he's beyond paranoid.

Page Six reports the men he paved the wa for want no parts of the veteran comedian.

“Guys like Murphy, Lawrence and Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, guys that he paved the way for … they won’t offer any support,” the family source believes.

“He can’t even pay people to come and support him,” the source continued. “He’s been told that agents have informed their clients that their careers would be over if they got involved.

“We’re not asking anyone to testify. We are asking those whom he’s helped, maybe they can call or come sit in the courtroom and see for themselves what’s happening … before turning your back.”

Sheesh.

The fallen actor is reportedly concerned that someone will spike his drink before he’s set to stand trail on June 5th on sexual assault charges in Philadelphia. As we all know, more than 50 women have come forward accusing Bill of drugging and raping them. Only one of them were actually able to bring him up on criminal charges.

Now that his court date is approaching, he’s freaking out.

The 79-year-old is so far gone he won’t stay at ANY hotels near the courthouse. Instead, he’s hopping on his private jet at 2:30 in the morning and traveling 300 miles to court. He’s not trusting anything or anyone.

“He and his wife are afraid that if he stayed at a hotel, someone will find a way to poison him, put something in his food,” a source told Page Six.

A second source added, “He’s blind … so that makes him even more vulnerable to [being] poisoned or to having someone sneak into his room.”

The former “Cosby” actor is so paranoid, he has refused to drink from the courthouse fountains. He’s bringing water bottles and meals from his suburban Philly home.  his wife calls him all day, reportedly, to check on him because she's equally as scared something will happen to him.

“He’s thinking and his team is thinking, if he’s put in a hotel room, someone will find out which room he’s staying in and they’ll put a bug or a device in the room,” a source also said.

Doing the MOST.

Usher pulled up in Vegas this weekend to smash a pool party.  He made sure to bring the waterworks, for certain fans....

Oh?!

Usher partied through Memorial Day Weekend this weekend in Vegas at Rehab.  He hit the stage with DJ WhooKid and 2 Chainz.  And had buckets of waters for the twerking fans.

But when Fetty Wap's ex (the stripper he apparently sent back tot he pole recently) came up to do a little dirty whine on him, he seemingly remembered he was married and played it off with that old man 2 step.  Ha!  He aint slick.

Maybe there wasn't enough room on the form to write out Cablasian?  Check out the ironic police report of Tiger Woods after today's arrestinside...

It's alwaays so funny how the damndest things come bck to haunt you.

Back in the late 90's, there was tons of hoopla when Tiger Woods was being called the first African American to win the Masters.  The black delegation in America proudly stood up and publicly congratulated Eldrick Tiger Woods for his historic accomplishment.  Even his African American father, Earl Woods, went on record making the comment that it was time for a black person to be in a green (championship) jacket.

The newly crowned champ didn't necessarily see it that way.  He made headlines during his 1997 appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when he revealed:

"Growing up, I came up with this name: I'm a `Cablinasian'.

Tiger, whose mother is multiracial, said the name best captures his racial makeup: a blend of Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian.  He also made a point to say it's a "mistake" to categorize him as simply black.

Needless to say, his Cablinasian comment became cultural fodder to this day. 

It makes his police report -- after he was arrested for DUI early this morning in Palm Beach -- oh so interesting. And the subject of black twitter today.

While Tiger was so busy trying to convince people he wasn't "just" black (which no one said he was), certain folks have made it pretty clear how he's viewed, especially when it comes to his alleged criminal behavior.

We wonder if he let the Palm Beach Police Department know his preferences....

Celebs were partying it up this Memorial Day Weekend and we’ve got flicks. Go inside to celebrate with Ashanti, Angela Simmons and more…

There were plenty of celebrations going on across the country this Memorial Day Weekend. And Ashanti made her way on stage to live it up.

The R&B songstress rocked the house at the Pool After Dark inside Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City to kick off summer ’17. Chick flossed her bangin' bod in a white Angel Brinks graffiti laced ensemble paired with white pumps (our hate for all white shoes lives on), styled by Wilford Lenov.

Wassup Jimmy! 

"Black Ink" star Ceasar, who just opened his ATL shop, was also in the mix...celebrating with some extracurricular activities.

Apparently, Paris Jackson’s style caused her to be mistaken for a homeless person when she showed up on set. Get the deets, plus people’s reactions to LIFETIME’s Michael Jackson movie inside…

Paris Jackson just started getting her feet wet in the modeling and acting worlds. But, based on a few tweets she fired off recently, not everyone knows who she is. The daughter of the late Michael Jackson showed up to a photoshoot set where a man walks up to her while she’s waiting in the parking lot and tells her “homeless people” aren’t allowed in the area.

one of the first people on set, sitting in the parking lot and this dude comes up to me and says homeless people aren't allowed in this area

— TheWrap (@TheWrap) May 25, 2017

Damn.

In another tweet, she further explained, “I said ‘oh sorry, I’m waiting for hair and maekup should I wait elsewhere. Also, why do you assume I’m homeless?”

Paris is known for her hippie style, but a homeless person? They tried it.

It’s likely other media outlets thought she was on the set of a new movie because she’s gearing up to make her feature film debut.

Paris will be starring in an Amazon Studios film helmed by Nash Edgerton. The title of the film is unknown right now, but we’ve got a little insight into Paris’ role. She will play a girl named Nelly, described as "an edgy 20-year-old" in the dark comedy about a mild-mannered American businessman who crosses a line from citizen to criminal.

She’s joining the cast with Hollywood heavyhitter David Oyelowo, who will play the American businessman Harold Soyinka and YBF actress Thandie Newton. Charlize Theron, Yul Vazquez, Amanda Seyfried, and the director’s brother Joel Edgerton round out the cast.

In other Michael Jackson-related news...

LIFETIME premiered their Michael Jackson film, Searching for Neverland, last night. Did you watch?

The TV film chronicled the last two years of the Pop icon’s life, especially his personal life with his three children. The network has a reputation for a few tragic biopics, so we know folks were on the fence about watching it.

Some folks did watch it, and here are a few reactions shared on social media:

The Cleveland police officer that shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice has been fired. Get the latest inside…

There are new updates in relation to Tamir Rice’s fatal shooting.

Today, the Cleveland Police Department fired the police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice outside of the Cudell Recreation Center in Cleveland, Ohio in 2014. The officers believed Tamir was carrying a weapon, but it turned out to be a toy gun.

Cleveland officials held a news conference today where they announced Timothy Loehmann, the officer who fired the fatal shot, would be terminated immediately. Officer Frank Gamback, who was driving the patrol car, has been suspended for 10 days beginning Wednesday, May 31st. The reason stated is that following an investigation, Officer Loehmann was found to have broken rules during his application process.

The NY Times reports:

The decision came after what Mayor Frank Jackson of Cleveland called an “exhaustive process” of investigation.

Cleveland’s chief of police, Calvin Williams, said at the news conference that Mr. Loehmann’s firing was effective immediately. Mr. Garmback would be required to take an additional tactical training course.

“This has been tough on our entire community, and definitely on the Rice family,” said Mr. Williams. “When this happened in 2014, I made the comment that this is of course a tragedy, but it’s even more tragic that it happened at the hands of a Cleveland police officer.”

The officers were dispatched after Tamir was reported for playing with a pellet gun near a recreation center. Though the caller specified that the gun was “probably fake,” that information was not communicated to the responding officers. Video released after the incident showed that Officer Loehmann shot Tamir within two seconds of the patrol car pulling up beside the boy.

You’ll recall, a grand jury decided NOT to criminally charge any of the officers involved in the shooting in 2015. Folks were pissed, launching nationwide protests. It was reported the city of Cleveland will pay Tamir's family $6 million to settle a lawsuit. By the way, Tamir would have turned 15-years-old next month.

While the officer who took Tamir’s life will not suffer the consequences in prison, at least he’s off the street where he can’t do the same thing again.  It is interesting, though, that he lost his job over lying on an application yet escaped major repercussions of killing an unarmed teen.
