Denzel Washington his the red carpet of his movie premiere for 2 Guns tonight at the SVA Theater in New York City.  Check out who came out to support the action flick inside...

Both Denzy and his wife Pauletta were looking younger than ever as they hit the carpet for the premiere of his brand new movie with Mark Wahlberg (in theaters August 2nd) 2 Guns.

Not sure what they've been up to, but we're sure it has lots to do with major Euro vacays and a newly shaven head.  Denzel, who turns 60 this December, hit the carpet in all black and New Balance sneakers.  And his wife Pauletta kept it peachy in a flirty dress and matching Giuseppes.

Denzel & Mark's co-star, Paula Patton, was spotted leaving the Gramercy Hotel tonight on her way to the premiere.  She's joining Denzel for their second movie together after they co-starred in the 2006 flick Deja Vu.

And her hubby Robin Thicke wasn't far behind.

Paula keeping it glam--and seemingly sober--in her black & white gown on the carpet:

E! News correspondent Alicia Quarrels hit the carpet before the premiere looking fab.

And 50 Cent is out and about after his domestic violence drama.  Wonder what's going to happen with all that.

Rapper Soulja Boy celebrated his 23rd over the weekend with long time "friend" Diamond.  See how they partied inside and hear what Miss Mykie said about leaving "106 & Park". 

Over the weekend, rapper Soulja Boy celebrate his 23rd birthday in Los Angeles at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood.  His friend and former girlfriend Diamond was there to celebrate him...and it looks like that might be back together.  The rapstess also popped up on a few of his Instagram pics.  

Soulja put on in his signature gold chains and a gold and black shirt by Golden Hanger for the function.

And when he wasn't eating a slice of his Louis Vuitton cake (of COURSE he had an LV cake), the rapper entertained the crowd with his new "Versace" remix, “Crank That” and “Turn My Swag On”. Fans should expect to get a new album from the Soulja in 2014.  In case you were waiting...

And in tv news.....

Former "106 & Park" host Miss Mykie spoke to Ebony.com about her departure from the show and her next steps. When asked about leaving the show (or getting fired) and her feelings towards BET, she said, 

"It’s all love with BET and it will always be. I support BET and they support me 100 percent with my future endeavors. We communicated about what was going on. It’s the TV and entertainment world and you have to prepare yourself for transitions that may come. Change is inevitable. I have grown to understand that it’s just a part of life. It allows you to learn more about yourself. It can be scary or it can be exciting, and whether you like the situation or not you have to keep it moving and make the best of it."

So what's next for Miss Mykie?  She told Ebony that she's using the large social media following she's gained to launch the first ever talkshow on Instagram! She and her management team iYO Visuals are using the platform's 15-sec video clips to highlight her personality and fresh take on pop culture.

“I fell in love. I was like ‘OMG this is so innovative and creative,’” she says. “I was sold after I saw how professional it was. Everyone already has their own show on YouTube, blogs and websites, but nobody has done it on Instagram.”

But the talkshow isn't the only thing Miss Mykie has in works. The budding rapstress also announced a new single that features rapper and singer Future, and she has set her sights on becoming an actress.

Good luck!

Nicki Minaj& DJ Khaled show why that publicity stunt of a proposal was just that....publicity....as their new song "I Wanna Be With You" hits the internet streets today.  Check out Khaled's newest track inside, plus Nicki laughing off his marriage proposal....

"I Wanna Be With You" is Khaled's newest single off his upcoming Suffering From Success album (out Spetember 24th).  He tapped Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross & Future for the track.  And now, we can see why Khaled pulled that 10 carat diamond ring out of his pocket and "proposed" to Nicki on video.  It's all to pub the feel of the song.

Nicki hit up Funkmaster Flex's show last night to say she never took "her brother" Khaled seriously and it was all just his way of pubbing the track:

“I was shocked just like the rest of the world and I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world ’cause Khaled is a master at what he does.  It was just another way for him to kinda give the world a glimpse on the feeling of this record.”

“Khaled is my brother and Khaled was not serious with that damn proposal, ya’ll. Please let it go. He was kidding.  He’s not attracted to me, he doesn’t like me. We’re brother and sister.”

We figured.  Khaled still hit up DJ Felli Fel on Power 106 afterwards and claimed that he wasn't giving up because she could say yes next year.  he seemed serious, but we dont believe him.

And the track is exactly what you would expect. Khaled adlibs Kirk Franklin-style, Future brings his most basic repetitive auto tuned "flow" to create a "chorus," Nicki spits about her million dollar punani, and Ricky closes it out with a few bars about his riches. Check it below:

"Top Model" alum Yaya Alafia (formerly Dacosta) walked the red carpet for her new film Lee Daniels''The Butler recently, where she showed off her baby bump. Who knew?! See the fab pics inside.....

Yaya Alfia, a season three runner-up for "ANTM" (she was one of our faves but was beaten out by Eva Marcille), walked the red carpet for her latest film, Lee Daniels' The Butler, at last night's red carpet screening at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia yesterday.

Since "ANTM", Yaya has gone on to create a nice career for herself.  In addtion to marrying Joshua Bee Alafia last year, the mom-to-be has starred in huge films like Tron and the tv series "Ugly Betty" and "All My Children."

Yaya, who's playing the role of Carol Hammie in the film, joked around on the red carpet with her co-star Cuba Gooding Jr, and director Lee Daniels.

We're sure Lee was happy to put the legal battle around the film's name behind him so he could focus on what he does best.....make provocatve films.   Lee Daniels' The Butler hits theaters August 16th.

And congrats to YaYa!

This indeed is not DMX's week.  After going through trials, jail stints and legal battles for several years, he's filing for bankruptcy.  Find out what his rep had to say inside...

X's rep Domenik Nati -- the same person who claimed X was NOT under the influence a few days ago despite him passing out in the back of the police car minutes after the arrest -- put out a statement today to explain why the raper is filing for bankruptcy.  And the rep says it's all because of poor financial management by previous representation.  Yes, he really blamed OTHERS & financial management:

"DMX's financial strains have been inhibiting his career for several years. Poor financial management by prior representation have caused him to be ineligible to retain a passport. The purpose of this bankruptcy filing is for reorganization so he can perform for his fans oversees. We are currently planning a tour in Europe and Africa for the fall of 2013."

We guess the umpteen arrests and lawyers he had to pay had zero to do with his lack of funds.  Like we said before, we hope X receives the help he needs and rids himself of the enablers.

With her very smokey eyes and pursed pink lips, "ANTM" host and creator Tyra Banks was among the celebs spotted at the Television Critic Association's Summer Press Tour - CBS/CW/Showtime Party in Beverly Hills.  At a first look, chick looked a bit vampy and scary.  Like she woke up with running eye makeup and decided to make it a look.  But it was actually done on purpose.  And....maybe it works for her. 

Maybe.  For the event, a tousled Tyra wore a a black curve hugging lace dress, Walter Steiger Fall 2013 pumps and tassel earrings.

Solange Knowles took her eclectic personality to a whole new level yesterday as she performed a secret concert in a secret location--a Brooklyn laundromat.  Pics and video inside, plus Tamar Braxton rocking out at her own Love & War album showcase in L.A.

Solange popped up at the Atlantis Super Wash Center in BK last night to rock out for a secret concert for FADER mag & vitaminwater's #uncapped series.  The style goddess--who never fails to impress-rocked a Clover Canyon Resort 2014 look comprised of diamond print short shorts and a matching print & striped design sweater, all paired with multi-colored shoes by Preen.

Why a laundromat you ask?  We're sure Solo said 'Why not?'  It's so her though isn't it?  She said once she took the stage-o-washing machines, "This laundromat really has me wanting to be a drama queen tonight, so excuse my theatrics.”  Here's her full opening with "Bad Girls":

The "True" singer also belted out hits like "T.O.N.Y.", "Losing You" and even covered Nivea's "Laundromat."  How appropriate.  Check out a few videos below.  Chick even climbs on top of the washing machines.  Gotta love her:

You know at least one person was pissed their laundry day was totally f'd up. 

The FADER covergirl also did an interview with Miss Info afterwards in another super fab look with Nicholas Kirkwood for Peter Pilotto shoes:

And over in L.A.:

Tamar Braxton threw on her sparkly blouse and houndstooth hotpants and thigh high boots to rock her Love & War album showcase.  It was sponsored by Myx Moscato at the Emerson Theatre in Holllywood last night, and she posted a proud pic of her Reve Boutique look for the night:

Tamar performed all the tracks off the upcoming album (out September 3rd), two of which are "Hot Sugar" (yep, it made the cut) and one of our fave songs of the summer, "The One." Check out a couple short clips below:

The busy new mom and co-host of "The Real" is also gearing up for her upcoming tour with John Legend kicking off this October.  Nice!

Lance Gross, Lauren London, Talib Kweli and Jordin Sparks are among the YBF celebs who've joined an interactive campaign with Wells Fargo bank displaying "The Kinsey Collection: Shared Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey - Where Art and History Intersect."

In several online videos, the celebs serve as virtual curators in a four-part short film series, “Untold Stories: Our Inspired History,” that takes viewers through specific points in history represented by artifacts in The Kinsey Collection.

Lisa Frison, The Kinsey Collection's African American segment manager, spoke about the campaign saying,

“Wells Fargo’s primary goal in collaborating with the Kinsey family to bring this collection to audiences across the country was to create an opportunity for others to engage in dialogue around the rich history of African Americans.

The Untold Stories campaign is an exciting extension of this partnership, and an innovative way to continue the discussion about the significant contributions of African Americans.”

The campaign is a great opportunity learn something new or revisit some great stories about the African American experience. 

Watch Lance Gross tell the stories of the first African American men who served as US congressmen: 

Watch Lauren London as she speaks on the importance of speaking up during moments of injustice:

The entire series (also featuring Talib Kweli and Jordin Sparks) can be viewed online on Wells Fargo's YouTube channel.  

And we've got more pics from the "BE YOU" anti-bullying campaign.....

Earlier this year, we told you about The Be You Photography Campaign spearheaded by anti-bullying creators J.Ryan La Cour (Karrueche's bestie), Brenn Colleen& photographer J.B Jakubek.   The trio signed up celebs like Christina Milian, Draya Michelle, and Karrueche Tran to front the campaign and now a few more folks have joined.  So far, MTV's Chanel Westcoast, singer Quincy, songbird Leah Labelle and pro skater Jereme Rogers have joined.

"The Voice" correspondent Christina Milian posed for several pics.

"The Real" host Adrienne Bailon has also joined the campaign.  Cute look.

Fab chicks are at work these days.  Paula Patton rocked a sexy white mesh paneled dress while toting her 3-year-old son Julian along in NYC today.  Plus, Tracee Ellis Ross is giving us all kinds of diva life in her new spread for Paris'Coveteur magazine where she also shows off her envious closet.

Pics inside...

While leaving the Gramercy Park Hotel today in New York, Paula Patton was spotted on mommy duty, in a body con dress and heels, bringing a Beatles-loving Julian to her taping of "Jimmy Fallon."

The 2 Guns actress picked up her baby boy, snapped him into his car seat, and kept it moving on her busy day of promo.  Last night, she rocked a gorgeous Basil Soda gown for the big premiere.  Looks like she's making some good fashion choices this time around.

And speaking of pretty ladies:

Actress and blogger Tracee Ellis Ross gave us fabness in her brand new shoot for Coveteur magazine.  The Euro-mag focuses on fashion & luxeness, and seeing that she's the daughter of a true diva who embodies all that, it's only right we get Tracee in this type of spread.

Diana Ross' daughter tells the mag:

“I was spoiled when I worked in the magazine world. Fashion closets are heaven and I seem to model my organization after a fashion closet,” Ross revealed. Each shoe was strategically arranged in an editor-approved fashion and, trust us, she knows exactly where everything came from; don’t even try to test her. “Open any of my drawers and you will think you are in a store.”

Ugh, we so love that.  The mag also revealed Tracee had the best vintage collection they had ever seen.  And we so believe it.

For the shoot she did everything from button ups and jeans to full out diva gowns embroidered with floral patterns and complete with the perfect hat piece.

Tracee said about her closet (pictured above):

I go through phases: a ring phase, earring phase, no jewelry phase. But, I always love my gold “Tracee” door Knockers. And I love, as you can tell, statement pieces.

Check out more pics over at Coveteur.

Solange Knowles covers Net-A-Porter's "The Edit" where she chats about her globe-trotting music career, standing outside of Beyonce's shadow and how her son is inspired by her work. See the spread inside....

Inside e-shooping site Net-A-Porter.com's digital magazine, "The Edit", Ms. Knowles posed for The Vacation Issue on the Croatian coast while modeling some of the summer's hottest beachwear. In the accompanying article, Solange talks about her road to self-discovery and her career-defining performance at Glastonbury.

“After my show I went from stage to stage, and ended up listening to music until 3am. Everyone let me do my thing. They acknowledged me but never interrupted my experience, which I really appreciated.”

The True singer and style goddess also defines her personal style and talks about how her big sister Beyonce helped shape her as a performer.  Here are the highlights:

On her career:

“I’m having the time of my life. I have one of the best jobs in the world, and to be able to [perform] for an hour a day and make a career out of it, I’m incredibly humbled by it.”

On defining an identity outside of her sister Beyonce:

“I don’t think any part of myself as an artist has ever had a moment of…intentional execution. It’s all just been an evolution. I’ve been able to watch such an incredible performer as my sister close-up. It’s molded me. And now I’m letting my son watch me.”

On style:

"Style in anything is very important. It’s how we express our individuality, who we are and what we believe in. It’s all a reflection of who I am.”

On her & her entourage's hot style while performing at muddy Glastonbury

“That’s just because we’re Americans, and we didn’t know the real deal – Glastonbury is not Coachella! [Laughs] We did not know the proper dress code....By the third hour there, I was wanting Wellington boots! It was amazing.  It’s a really unique environment. Everyone was so incredibly spirited and happy to be there. I dropped my phone and someone came and gave it back to me later!”

On whether her brother-in-law Jay-Z or sis Bey (both who have performed at Glastonbury) gave her any pointers before performing

"You know, we actually never even talked about it. But both of them had such incredible, iconic Glastonbury performances – I was really proud of them. And I thought that Jay opening with [Oasis’ song] Wonderwall was pretty kick-ass!”

And for the fashion heads, check out Solange's photoshoot with all the hot designer info below:

Last night, a few of our faves hit up the 2013 Do Something Awards at Avalon in Hollywood.  These awards are all about recognizing those who are doing something to make a difference.  Check out the cast from our new fave show "Hit The Floor" on their hosting duties, plus Jennifer Hudson, J.Cole and more all making appearances.

Before they took the stage to rock out for the VH1 'Do Something' crowd, J-Hud and J.Cole hit the green carpet:

Jenny looked great in her animal print blouse, chain and shorts by Versace.  Not sure if those are stockings with these white shoes (y'all know how we feel about white pumps and white shoes)...but other than those things, we think she's keeping up her fabness these days.

Jenny also took home an award for the work she's done for the Julian D. King Foundation she founded in Chicago in honor of her slain nephew.  She became understandably emotional as she talked about providing much-needed supplies to school children from low-income families.

"I wasn't going to cry, but I'm a cry baby so I can't help it," Jenny said on the awards stage. "It just shows how much it warms my heart to see so many blessed and from our blessings in honor of my nephew...It's one thing to be a celebrity, but it means nothing if you can't help somebody."

Sweet!

J.Cole's still riding the success of his newest album Born Sinner.

The cast of VH1's newest scripted hit, "Hit The Floor", hit the carpet looking fab.  Logan Browning, Katherine Bailess, and Taylour Paige brought their Devil Girls camaraderie to the carpet to do some hosting duties.

Sexy look for Taylour.

And super cute look for Logan.

Fab chick and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" co-star Camille Winbush hit the carpet. 

Philanthropist Russell Simmons made his way to the Awards.

"Access Hollywood" correspondent Shaun Robinson hit the carpet in a sexy striped dress.

VH1's "Hollywood Exes" co-stars Sheree Fletcher & Shamicka Lawrence got fab on the carpet.

Ne-Yo made his way to the event.

And Queen Latifah received her award from LL Cool J.  By the way, she's making her way back to daytime TV this fall.  Will you be watching her new talk show?

Keri Hilson's been laying low on the scene for a while.  But check out her new look she showed off for fans inside...

The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer has been spending her time boo'd up with her NBA baller Serge Ibaka, hitting a few parties, and taking some time off from the music industry. 

But she gave folks a glimpse at her new look yesterday.  The usually blonde with big curls chick switched up for extra long dark brown braids.  Wonder if she sits on them...

She snapped a pic (above) while furniture shopping yesterday.

So....

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Ashanti hit up "Watch What Happens Live" last night with Andy Cohen & Christina Ricci.  And now that her Braveheart album is dropping September 3rd, she has some things she can now discuss.  Check out her Nelly confession about the single that's about him, plus her and her mom twerking it up, inside....

Ashanti answered questions from fans.  And here's what we learned:

On the Ciara and Rihanna beef: "I think Rihanna is killin' it right now. She's very free. I think Ciara's definitely doing her thing. I like her new video. I think there's room for every chick that wants to get down and just be big in the business. You have to have your swag and great records so I think there's room.

On her fitness secrets: I've thought about doing a workout video with my trainer. I need to work out more than I do. But when I know I'm going to be on television or shooting a video or something, I kinda cheat and workout 3-4 times a week. When I know I had to do a video a few years ago, I did 1000 crunches every hour for 24 hours. I don't know (if it was healthy) but it looked GREAT. I had to wear a bikini.

On Ja Rule: Yeah we're still in touch. You know he's out now! We spoke on the phone, he's in great spirits, he's working on a new album. He's looking kinda brolic now.

On her breakup with Murder Inc: There's no bad blood.  We went through a whole lot.  There was family involved and relationships involved.  It was really hard when that stuff happened.  It was like a black cloud over all of us.  There was a period where we didn't talk as much as we did.  But as it stands today, we're all good.  The whole Murder Inc. family.  We made history together.   We're in the Guinness Book of World Records together. (Record: The fastest selling debut female artist in music history.)

On whether "Never Should Have" is about her ex Nelly: Well, how do I answer that?  I'll just say its a very real record, that's inspired by a real experience and it came from a real place.

(When Andy said, "So I'm gonna say YES"....Ashanti laughed it up. So, yeah...)

Tina Douglas, Ashanti's Momanger, was the bartender for the night.  She gave advice to Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina saying,"Please focus on you, so Lindsay can focus on her. People should live their lives, and she should be there to advise, and that's it."

And then, Andy had her & Ashanti teach him how to twerk. See how THAT went down below:

The "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" reunion is right around the corner.  And now, we've got a preview of what to expect.  Remember when we told you a few days ago a shoe went flying upside someone's head at the reunion and a fight broke out?  Well, peep the preview inside involving MiMi Faust & Joseline Hernandez.  Plus, Stevie J. gives details on how he & Joseline got married at the Justice of the Peace....

In case you care, Joseline & MiMi had an unsurprising fight at the "LAHH: ATL" reunion.  TheYBF.com was there at the taping so we already let you know about what went down.  But here's the first preview (above) of what that fight was about. 

When creator and moderator Mona Scott-Young pointed out MiMi's boob job and instigated the situation by asking Joseline what SHE thought about it.....all hell broke loose.  "You just mad because I took yo baby daddy" is the type of ghetto-tasticness was said before Joseline's large shoe went flying at MiMi.  She tried it.

Check out the foolishness above and see what we define as foolywang material.  VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” two-part reunion airs Monday, August 5 & August 12 at 8PM ET/PT.

Meanwhile, Stevie J. did an interview withHip Hop Weekly where he describes just how he and Joseline got married.  Here's an excerpt:

HHW: Now that you’ve gone to a Justice of the Peace, will you do another ceremony?

STEVIE J: When the show permits, we’ll do it on the show or something, or have our own show and have some kids on the show.

HHW: How are you going to deal with Mimi now that you and Joseline are a solid couple?

STEVIE J: There’s some jealousy there but I don’t believe there’s enough to where there would be a problem. Joseline is my wife now, and Mimi is the mother of my child. Not a whole lot can be done. But I can make sure that Mimi will always be good. That’s not going to change. But I’m married now — I’m married now!

HHW: How does it feel?

STEVIE J: I feel great!

HHW: How does Joseline feel?

STEVIE J: She’s got the best f—— man in the whole world.

Let us pray....

Gorgeous alert!  YBF chicks Kelly Rowland & Nicole Beharie hit the 2013 Fox TCA Summer Tour event in L.A. yesterday.  And both ladies kept it fab as they promoted their upcoming shows.

Check out their fabness inside....

Kelly Rowland is the newest "X Factor USA" judge.  So she posed it up at SoHo Hose in L.A. with fellow judges Paulina Rubio and Demi Lovato for the Fox TCA Summer Tour conference last night.

The "Kisses Down Low" singer kept it sexy in a turquoise & white geometric striped dress with her black Louboutin pumps.  Loves this summery look on her.

And her new promo pic for "X Factor" is also out.  Chick is WINNING with her flawlessness these days.   The third season of "The X Factor" U.S. will have a two-part premiere on Fox on Sept. 11 (1 hour) and Sept. 12 (2 hours) at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on both dates.

Also at last night's Fox TCA conference, up and coming actress Nicole Beharie posed with her co-stars Tom Mison, Orlando Jones, and Katie Winter for their upcoming Sci-Fi show "Sleepy Hollow".

She kept it simple yet cute in a black pencil dress with a leather fitted peplum belt. 

Nicole plays the lead role in the thriller as Detective Abbie Mills as the show premieres Monday, September 16th.  Here's the synopsis:

In this modern day twist of Washington Irving's classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen") is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Bound to the Headless Horseman by a blood spell cast on the battlefield of the American Revolution, Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

As this re-invented Ichabod finds himself in present-day Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town and a world he no longer recognizes. All that is brutally familiar are Headless and Ichabod's determination to annihilate this immortal being. It's a mission he must complete quickly, as Headless already has viciously slain Sheriff AUGUST CORBIN (guest star Clancy Brown, "Cowboys & Aliens," "Carnivale"). Grey served both as mentor and father figure to Detective ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, "Shame," "American Violet"), a young cop whose own supernatural experiences help her form an unlikely bond with Ichabod. But Sleepy Hollow's head of police, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, "The Chicago 8," "Drumline"), isn't buying any of this.

In fact, the only person who is on Abbie's side is Ichabod. His extensive first-hand knowledge of our secret American history, coupled with her superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, will make them a formidable duo as they work together to triumph over evil. The complex pasts of Ichabod and Abbie, from Ichabod's inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society and the ghostly appearance of his late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, "Dexter"), to Abbie's childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its future.

We're keeping our eye on the 42 actress as she looks like one who may make a surprising stamp on Hollywood soon...

Rihanna went for a brand new look last night as she hit up Playhouse in L.A.  While she's partaking in some down time from her Diamonds world tour, she snatched out the weavery and rocked her natural hair.  Check out what she calls her "Michael Jackson" 'do inside, plus how she narrowly missed her enemy Karrueche Tran as they parties at the same club....

Rihanna's got much to celebrate.  She won her $5 mill TopShop lawsuit centered around the retail giant illegally using her likeness on t-shirts they were selling.  She just made Billboard's Hot 100 55th Anniversary All-Time Rankings list.  And she can rock a super sexy & revealing dress and make that ish look effortless.

So the "Right Now" singer made her way to Playhouse in her (American) home of L.A. last night to chill....and she showed off her wet and wavy natural hair.  Some folks called it jherri curlesque.  And Rih kinda agreed.  She posted a few selfies while out with her besties Melissa Forde & LeLee saying:

Michael Jacks0n!!!!!! #rihjackson #michaeljackson #mjhair.... Still tryna get used to my hurr, so I threw on some #redlipstick #RIRIWoo

Ha!

Meanwhile:

Chris' sometimey boo Karrueche, who's been booking modeling gigs for different mags and retail companies, was also spotted out at Playhouse last night with her crew.  But she and Rih didn't cross paths, thankfully. 

By the way, yesterday before she hit the club, a fresh faced bra-less Rih Rih hit up the Neil Lane Jewelry store with her friends in West Hollywood.  And she walked out rocking a new diamond necklace.  Must be nice....

CIara and guest co-host Diddy expressed their mutual love & respect for each other on today's episode of "Kris."  In case you didn't notice, Kris Jenner has a new talk show that' in a summer test run on Fox right now.  So she is bringing on celeb guest co-hosts to help boost her numbers.

Diddy said he loves CicCi's resilience in this ever changing industry.  And he told her whenever she's up next on an Awards show to perform, he knows to grab his popcorn and watch a great show.

CiCi revealed her life long dream was to be her version of "Poprah--P. Diddy & Oprah".  And she gushed about how influential he is in the business.

We love all the mutual love.

And then Diddy revealed that when Kris used to post throwback pics of herself in bikinis & ish, he developed a serious crush on her years ago.  And you already know the 57-year-old Momager was on cloud 9 hearing that.

He said, "You know when everybody thinks of the Kardashians? They might think of Kim… but I think of you. I know that you have Bruce, but you know?... I have had a crush on you for a long time."

Peep the video below:

Ciara & Diddy also helped judge a Men vs. Women step team faceoff.  

And by the way, Kim made her first post-baby appearance via a surprise video on her mom's show today.  She said a quick 10 second "Hi mom" and "I'm so proud of you" and "I'm loving being home too much so sorry I didn't come in person" type deal.  She's been in hiding for 7 weeks.  In case you cared...

Big Sean has released an artsy visual for his latest single "Fire", and it stars Miley Cyrus!  Watch the clip inside....

Under the direction of Matthew Williams for DONDA, Big Sean tapped former child star turned worldstar twerker Miley Cyrus as the lead model in his "Fire" video.  The song is the latest offering from Big Sean's HALL OF FAME disc (August 27).

So......why Miley Cyrus? Big Sean answered that question while explaining the video's concept.

"It's about getting through the tough times, through the fire, and always evolving. Whether it’s in relationships, personal, in your work, etc. Miley's character in the visual represents a metaphor for people who may have changed and evolved into something beautiful, who have evolved past certain relationships -- the picture of me burning symbolizes an old romance and coming out victorious and beautiful as a flower."

Oh, so that explains these rappers' latest obsession with Miley and why she been twerking and hanging out with Juicy J. Because she's a flower......

Watch "Fire" here:

"The Real" hosts Tamar Braxton and Adrienne Bailon got into a heated discussion recently, about friends dating the same man.  Weigh in on the topic inside.....

Yesterday, the ladies of "The Real" battled it out over friends dating the same man (or men) and if you should ever become friends with your ex-boyfriend's new chick.  

When Adrienne revealed that she befriended Rita Ora (who dated Adrienne's ex,Rob Kardashian) Tamar questioned (very loudly) why two friends would date the same man (even post-breakup).  

Adrienne disagreed, and added that she was "so over" Rob, that she didn't care who he was with. Seeing that it was 6 years later and all.  Plus, she thought Rita Ora was a dope chick.  

Those opposing views led us to wonder, is it ok for friends in your circle to date the same men....at any point?
