Ciara joins her boyfriend Russell Wilson during one of his weekly visits to the Seattle Children’s Hospital today. Peep their coupledom pics and get the deets on Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifah’s new gig inside….

Ciara and her Super Bowl champion boyfriend Russell Wilson sure love giving back to those less fortunate.

Today, the twosome paid a visit to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, a weekly routine for the Seattle Seahawk quarterback. And it appears to be becoming the "new" normal for CiC. This is the second time we’ve spotted her tagging along on the chartiable trip with her beau.
 

“The Soup” host and comedian Joel McHale joined the couple to help spread good cheer to the children in the hospital fighting life-threatening diseases joined them.

During their visit, The NFLer and comedian flexed their muscles to help raise money for the Strong Against Cancer program at the hospital. Russell and Joel took charge of two teams to see who can pull Boeing 737 airplane across a parking lot the fastest. By the end of the day, the teams raised $24,000 in total for cancer research. Nice!

Check out the clip below:

And yesterday, the CiCi and Russell was busy "putting in work" in the boxing rink:

Loves it.

In TV news...

We have some good news if you’re a fan of The Wiz.

It’s being reported R&B singer Mary J. Blige and EMMY nominated actress Queen Latifah has joined the cast of NBC’s upcoming live musical adaptation The Wiz Live!

According to Entertainment Weekly, Queen will star at the titular Wiz and Mary will play the Wicked Witch of the West. Sweet! The YBF chicks will be joining legendary songstress Stephanie Mills, who will star as Auntie Em.

Below are a few additional deets on their upcoming roles:

As The Wiz, Latifah plays “the mysterious and powerful wizard who holds the keys to the Emerald City, but whose metamorphosis from ordinary to extraordinary is itself a hoax. She rose to her lofty position after being transported by accident to Oz in a hot air balloon during a snowstorm.” And as the Wicked Witch of the West, Blige’s Evillene “holds sway over the Winkies and the Winged Monkeys that do her bidding. She captures Dorothy and her friends to avenge the unintentional murder of her evil sister, Evvamean, and to get back the powerful silver slippers given to Dorothy by the Good Witch of the North.”

The live musical is being directed by Tony Award winning director Kenny Leon and executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (who worked on previous projects with Queen, including Hairspray& Steel Magnolias). Also, Cirque Du Soleil will join the musical to wow viewers with their acrobatic tricks in a few scenes.

Once we find out additional deets, we’ll let you know. Who’s excited?

The couples were out for date night last night. See coupledom shots of Chanel Iman and her rumored boo NBA baller Jordan Clarkson, Victor Cruz and his fiancée Elaina Watley and Ne-Yo with his girlfriend Crystal Renay inside…

Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman looks to have moved on from her ex-boyfriend rapper A$AP Rocky. We’ve been hearing rumors that Chanel has a new man in her life. And they appear to have some truth to them.

The 24-year-old supermodel chick was spotted with 23-year-old L.A. Lakers player Jordan Clarkson in Melrose last night. The twosome had just finished dining together at Craig’s restaurant.
 

Word on the curb is that these two have been hooking up since about May 2015. They were initially spotted together at a Powerhouse concert in L.A. a few months ago. Then, for Jordan’s birthday in June, Chanel posted up a lovey dovey pic of her hugging him around his neck with the caption “Happy Birthday”:

And just last week, the twosome was getting all hot and heavy on the beach: 

Both Chanel and Jordan have several pics of each other on their Instagrams, so we guess it's safe to assume they are an item. Neither of them have confirmed it (yet), but pictures are worth a 1,000 words...or so we hear.

Elsewhere in Cali...

New York Giants ballers and his fiancée Elaina Watley were in the mood for some delicious Italian eats, so they hit up The Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood last night.

We wonder if they've discussed their upcoming nuptials? The 28-year-old NFL star popped the question to his longtime girlfriend last year. Months ago, Victor revealed the two plan to wed in July 2016. But don’t expect a typical sit-down snooze fest of a wedding. They plan on partying….HARD with about 200-500 of their closest family and friends. Nice!

Over on the east coast....

R&B crooner Ne-Yo had some fun rolling through the Concrete Jungle on a high-tech skateboard/segway contraption called an IO Hawk yesterday.

It was quite the balancing act as he tried to snap a selfie while in motion. Be careful Ne-Yo!

Later...

The “She Knows” singer linked up his girlfriend Crystal Renay as they made their way to dinner leaving their NYC hotel. Crystal seemed happy, flashing a smile at the photogs.

And Ne-Yo is all about being a gentleman, opening the car door for his lady to get inside.

Also last night, Ne-Yo rocked the stage as the opening performer for the new season of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew." FYI--Singer Teyana Taylor and rapper T-Pain are serving as judges alongside Ariana Grande's brother Frankie Grande.

Check out his lively performance below:

Ciara and Baby Future were on the sidelines cheering on Russell Wilson during training camp…but not before he grabbed a good luck kiss from his lady. Peep their coupledom shots and get the deets on Russell’s new lucrative contract with the Seattle Seahawks inside….

Hot new couple Ciara and Russell Wilson keep bringing the cutesy coupledom moments. Yesterday, CiCi trekked it to the Seattle Seahawks training camp to support her man hours after he signed a major deal with his team (more on that in a sec).

Before hitting the gridiron, the Seahawks QB received a good luck kiss from his queen. Aww…

And look who else was there...

Baby Future! While his pops Future has been vocal about not being pleased with “new men” being around his son, CiCi doesn’t seem bothered one bit. She brought little Future out for the football fun and to cheer on his possible "future" step-dad at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, WA.

And it looks like Russell is getting in enough “step-daddy” practice, holding little Future on the sidelines. Too cute.

Later, the Super Bowl champ signed autographs for fans.

Then, he chopped it up with the media about his new contract. Let's talk about that...shall we?

Russell Wilson just became the 2nd highest paid football player in the NFL after signing a 4-year $87.6 million contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks. The lucrative deal includes a $31 million signing bonus and he’s guaranteed a cool $61 million. WINNING!

The “I Bet” singer took to Twitter to congratulate her man on signing his new contract:
  

Congratulations Are In Order To My Baby @DangeRussWilson and The Seattle Seahawks! So Exciting! Go Hawks! 3's Up!

— Ciara (@ciara) July 31, 2015

The superstar QB also took to his Twitter to express his excitement about returning to the Seahawks. He tweeted:

Blessed to be w/ this organization for 4 more years! Can't wait to get on field w/ the fellas! @Seahawks#ChampionshipMindset#GoHawks

— Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) July 31, 2015

Definitely an upgrade for CiCi...and we're not mad at all. Congrats!

What’s this? Sanaa Lathan and French Montana spotted out together…again? Yep, the twosome is fueling dating rumors after being spotted at dinner together. Check out the video and peep flicks of Safaree Samuels and his new chick Zashia Santiago stunting for the ‘gram inside….

Press play....

 

A video posted by TheYBF.com (@theybfdaily) on Aug 1, 2015 at 8:57am PDT

Yep! That’s Sanaa Lathan and French Montana enjoying a super fancy dinner together recently. Are these two an item? We’re not sure. But, we do know the two seem to enjoy spending time with one another these days.

Remember that eyebrow raising video of Sanaa stretched outon Frenchie a few weeks ago? We’ll blame it on the alcohol, but the Hollywood vet and the NYC rapper do seem like they're warming up to each other.
 

Last week, the upcoming Perfect Guy star poked fun at the relationship rumors, following that video surfacing (thanks to Diddy). She posted up a photoshooped pic of The Perfect Guy poster with French on the left and Diddy on the right, taking the place of her real co-stars Michael Ealy and Morris Chestnut:

 

A photo posted by Sanaa Lathan (@sanaalathan) on Jul 20, 2015 at 2:35pm PDT

Ha! Maybe chick is just having fun. We'll keep an eye out.

The Perfect Guy hits theaters September 11th.

Speaking of the Coke Boy...

Looks like French is cooking up something big with R&B songstress Mariah Carey and Pop superstar Justin Bieber.

MiMi, French, JB and producer Eric Hudson were spotted at the Record Plant in Hollywood on Thursday. And it appears they trio may be releasing a joint track soon. Both MC and French posted flicks on IG with the caption “coming soon.”

Hmm...no word on where this alleged track will end up, but we're interested in hearing how it turns out.

Elsewhere on the 'gram....

After throwing shade at Meek Mill for his mediocre diss track “Wanna Know,” Nicki Minaj’s ex-fiancée Safaree Samuels is serving up a few hot coupledom shots of himself and his new girlfriend Zashia Santiago.

The new couple was all wrapped up in love as they posed it up for a few sexy flicks. And we can’t lie, they’re kinda hot! We're wondering if it's for a Calvin Klein ad in GQ magazine. Safaree mentions GQ in one of his captions.

In another caption, he writes, "Back to front.... We have 1 back to back ill save for a later time.. @jayflex #hardestpicoftheyear #stuntgang #calvinkleinneedsme #loveyou #rare #shewatchesmyback nothing like the feeling of tackling the world together... the other one"

Not mad. Do you boo.

We've rounded up a few Instagram flicks of what some of your fave YBFers were doing over the weekend. Peep flicks of Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Tiny, T.I., NeNe Leakes and more inside….

 

A video posted by therealswizzz (@therealswizzz) on Jul 31, 2015 at 11:17am PDT

Superproducer Swizz Beats and his wife Alicia Keys celebrated 5-years of martial bliss on Friday (July 31st). So, the “drunk in love” couple jetted to a tropical island to celebrate, bringing their adorable 7-month-old son Genesis along for the fun.

Getting away from the every day hustle of life, the Deans are currently on a “lovecation” to celebrate their love on a beautiful island. And little Genesis got a chance to sink his fingers into the sand. The "28 Thousand Days” songstress posted this precious photo of Baby Dean on the beach:

She captioned, “On your path to the sun; wind comes, rain comes, clouds and confusion. But cherish every day, cause u can't get it back and every stumble, every misstep, every victory, every triumph every minute/moment/second makes you who you are..... Shine!! #lovealicia #blessedsunday #28000days photo by: @therealswizzz”

Aww....

For Sunday Funday, the trio enjoyed a delicious lunch on the beach when Swizz turned the camera on Genesis for a heartwarming clip. In the video, Swizz is asking Baby Genesis what is his name, where the curly haired baby did his best to respond, “Da Da.” Check it:

Later, they likely sent Genesis off with the nanny so they could enjoy some alone time, sipping on rum punch laid out on the beach:

Nice! Congrats to the couple on their 5th year anniversary. 

Another couple celebrating their anniversary this weekend....

Atlanta rapper T.I. and Tiny also celebrated their 5th anniversary on Friday (July 31st). Rather than soak in the sun on a tropical island, Mr. and Mrs. Harris went for something more exciting over the weekend…horseback riding! Tiny captioned, “Riding out on this thang #MrAndMrsHarris #5thYearAnniversary”

This morning....

Tip & Tiny’s son King got fresh for his first day of middle school today. His pops captioned,“My lil Patna!!!! @king_harris_8 first day of middle school... Smallest in his class,but wit da most HEART tho. Gotta know that's MINES!!!! #IPutHisLilFitTogethaToo !!!!! #ProudPops #FamilyHustleOverErrrthing” These YBF kiddies are growing up too fast!

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes, who recently confirmed she would not longer appear on the reality series, slipped into an itty bitty yellow bikini as she enjoyed her YBF weekend. Must be nice.

FYI--NeNe did say she would if they present her with MORE money, she's willing to CONSIDER returning on a "friend to the show" basis.

Her co-star Phaedra Parks paid her respects to Bobbi Kristina Brown at her funeral in Alpheretta, GA this weekend. She snapped a pic with Bobby and others and captioned, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."-Psalm 30:5 @kingbobbybrown is one of the best fathers I know. My heart aches for the Brown and Houston families. #RIP #bobbikristina"

In NYC...

“Power” star Lala Anthony hit the club scene to celebrate her cousin Dice’s birthday. The ladies brought in Dice’s birthday at Club Opus over the weekend. We’re sure they had a ball.

“black•ish” star Tracee Ellis Ross was busy flossing her toned bod in a red swimsuit on the set of a new project. But, she wouldn’t spill the deets on what it’s for. She captioned, “Having a blast working on a secret project!! Can't wait to share with you. Stay tuned!” We can’t wait to see what this is for.

Meanwhile....

 

A video posted by Yandy Smith-Harris (@yandysmith) on Aug 3, 2015 at 10:09am PDT

"Love & Hip Hop: NY" star Yandy Smith is marching for justice for Sandra Bland. Sandra was found dead in a Waller County jail cell in Texas on July 13th, which has many wondering what exactly happened to her. As we wait for the exact details of how she passed away, Yandy is in these streets with her baby girl Skylar taking a stand and seeking justice. Check out the clip above.

Dallas Cowboys players Dez Bryant and Tyler Patmon exchanged blows during the Cowboys training camp today. Yikes! But, things are cool now. The guys hugged out it afterwards. Dez posted the picture of them hugging on Twitter and said, "What Brothers do after they Fight @DezBryant @Lion_hearted_26 @dallascowboys @nflnetwork @ESPNNFL @espn" Well good for them.

More details are emerging about Curtis Jackson III's finances and the pseudo-lifestyle of riches he perpetuated.  But we're still giving him the side eye.  Find out about his bankruptcy inside and watch Safaree Samuels' new girlfriend in her first interview...

A few months ago, we found out the Curtis Jackson III aka 50 Cent was allegedly broke.  We only found out about his alleged financial struggles after he and his high-powered legal team claimed to a judge that he could not afford to pay $7 Million to Lastonia Leviston (aka Rick Ross' baby momma), after she sued him for posting her sex tape online. That's the backstory.

Since all of that went down, folks have been trying to understand how the Instagram Stunna could possibly be broke? We'll we've got a lil' breakdown. How'd we'd get it? Well....bankruptcy filings are public record. Curtis filed in a Connecticut court Monday and the ish hit the fan aka 'da innanets'.

In federal court, Curtis Jackson III claims he has 25 million in assets, BUT $33 million in liabilities.

Assets:
-an $8 million Connecticut mansion
-a $572,000 home in Valley Stream, LI,
-an Atlanta home worth $464,000.
-10 million in cash,
-$500,000 worth of cars including three Chevy Suburbans and a 2010 Rolls-Royce.

Debts:
- $7 million judgment owed to Lastonia
- $18 million debt to Sleek Audio (they sued him after their headphones deal went sour)

-He claims G-Unit Records and G-Unit Brands have cost more than $10 million over the last three years with at least $10.45 million in losses

Income:
-He makes $3 million a year from his performing and recording career
-He makes $370,000 from his boxing-promotions company SMS Promotions, and another $771,000 from books, films and touring under his G-Unit, and other, entities.

Monthly expenses:
-He claims $108,000 in monthly expenses, (a $5,745-per-month Bentley car lease; $12,000 in child support for two kids; $5,000/month for gardening, $1,500 for pool maintenance and $9,000/month for security.)
-Since April, the well-dressed rapper has paid more than $330,000 to American Express and another $52,000 to his stylist Erin McSherry.

So.....in some wealthy circles, all of this translates into being broke. But it's the "good" kind of broke....

In other news...

SO.....Zashia Santiago is NOW available for interviews.  No shocker there. If you just asked, "Who is Zashia Santiago?" she is the new girlfriend of Safaree Samuels.  Don't be shady and ask "Who is Safaree Samuels?"

Back to Zashia...like MOST girlfriends of quasi-celebs, she claims that she does not want the spotlight and even said she didn't know who Safaree was when she met him.  BTW.....She is a makeup artist from Miami and she's also the mother of a 10-year-old son named Isaiah.

We have a feeling that we will be seeing and hearing a lot from Zashia. She was "camera ready" for the interview, although she claims , "I don't follow pop culture as much as people would believe. I listen to country."

Girl please....

Kylie Jenner turns 18-years-old today and her boyfriend Tyga gifted her with a new Ferrari last night.  We guess their relationship will be on front street now that it's legal.  Check out the pics inside (and the back story) and see who Kylie celebrated with...

Today marks the day that rapper Tyga can stop looking over his shoulder.  His girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, is officially legal.  The 18-year-old reality star has been celebrating her birthday with fans (via Instagram) over the entire weekend and it all hit a fever-pitch last night when her boo gave her the biggest gift of all.

In addition to the tanned leather Hermes handbag she posted on IG, boyfriend Tyga just upped the birthday gift ante.  Seemingly.

Last night, after a family dinner (see below), she stepped outside of West Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows where Tyga gave her this......

It's a Ferrari 482 Italia (valued at $320,000) and wrapped in a big red bow.

The "gift" itself comes with its own backstory.  In case you missed it, Kylie was spotted driving a red Mercedes Benz G-Wagon away from Nobu after her birthday dinner with family on Friday. Peeps the pics and deets here.

After photos surfaced, the Internet went crazy! It's was ALLEGED that Tyga MIGHT have re-gifted Kylie a vehicle that his baby momma Blac Chyna once drove, seeing that the plates were exactly the same and on the same car.

Reportedly, Tyga demanded the car back from Blac Chyna recently, and he had it painted red. Kylie was behind the wheel Friday night. But it WAS NOT a hand-me-down SUV, she just happened to be driving it.  Allegedly.

But....if you believe in conspiracy theories, perhaps the Ferrari was Tyga's way of making up for a BIG social media mistake. 

P.S.  The gift got momma's approval.  Look at Kris riding shotgun.  Y'all know she loves living through her kids...

Earlier in the evening... 

BEFORE Tyga hit up Bootsy Bellows with Kylie, the twosome and her family and friends attended a birthday dinner at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles. According to PEOPLE, attendees included Kendall Jenner, Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian as well as her parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner. Rob Kardashian didn't attend.  But Kanye West did along with wife Kim.

And so was NBA baller James Harden with his rumored new boo Khloe Kardashian:

These two....

Also, Kris's boyfriend Corey Gamble joined her, Khloé's rumored new man, NBA star James Harden was there, plus Joe Jonas, Gigi Hadid and Kevin Durant.  Of course, Kanye and Kim made a huge entrance.  We see Kim is clearly loving her pregnancy body since she's putting it on display in the tightest, most revealing clothes she can find.

We gotta admit, we cant wait to see baby boy West....

Well this is interesting. Hip Hop emcee Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey) and YBF actress Alexandra Shipp were spotted in Montreal over the weekend…together. Hmm…is something going on here?  Or was it just a coincidental run-in? Decide for yourselves inside….

Is there a Hollywood-Hop love connection between Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey) and Alexandra Shipp? We’re not exactly sure. But, we do know the twosome have been spending time together, which has jump started our own rumor mill.

The Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B actress is currently in Montreal filming on location for the upcoming superhero prequel X-Men: Apocalypse. And when she’s not lighting up the scene as the Marvel superhero “Storm” (she recently shaved her head for the role!), she is spending her downtime with a familiar face…Mos Def.

This past weekend, the 24-year-old actress and 41-year-old rapper/actor were spotted making rounds through Old Port of Montreal, a historic riverfront complex with little retail shops, restaurants and art exhibits. Plenty of things to do to keep them entertained. Hmm…do we smell a budding romance? Possibly. Neither of the two have confirmed or denied anything....but it's clear some sort of relationship (or friendship) is brewing.

Last week, the Drumline: A New Beat star was in the audience to watch Mos Def perform alongside Kendrick Lamar at the 2015 Osheaga Festival that went down in Montreal:

 

A video posted by Alexandra Shipp (@alexandrashipppp) on Aug 2, 2015 at 12:25pm PDT

She captioned, "@kendricklamar you and @yasiinbeyofficial KILLED last night at #osheaga2015" Stanning for her man?   Hmmm...

Not only has Mos Def been in Montreal to rock the stage with his rap lyrics, he has also picked up a new hobby that debuted a few days ago. He’s turning his rap lyrics into jokes!

The “Ms. Fat Booty” rapper made his stand-up comedy debut at Phi Centre in Montreal where he used his Hip Hop peers as the butt of his jokes, namely Kanye West’s infamous paparazzi run-ins. But, he also poked fun at Drake, Meek Mill and more. When joking on Yeezy, he went in on Ye's epic “mic throwing” tantrum at the 2015 Pam Am Games. He said,

“You had Kanye out at the Pan-Am games sweating and going hard as one of the athletes. He threw that mic in the air so hard it never came down. I was talking to El-P from Run the Jewels the other day and he said it turned into a bird.”
 

Lordt. Peep a clip of his stand up gig below: 

Mos Def a stand up comedian...who would've thought?

Meanwhile....

Alexandra has been busy on the set of the Marvel film prequel. She shared a behind the scenes pic (above) on her Instagram recently of herself on the set. She captioned, “that was a fun day.”

And in case you've been wondering what Alexandra looks like as the younger Storm (the prequel is set 20-years before the famed X-Men films), check out a few flicks of her decked out in her costume below:

Sweet! X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27, 2016.

But back to Alexandra and Mos Def...should we sound the coupledom alarm or nah?

From break ups to make ups….Lil Kim and her daughter’s father Mr. Papers are back together after a messy public breakup, and they want everyone to know it. Read their open letters to each other and check out Robin Thicke’s new video “Back Together” featuring Nicki Minaj inside….

Lil Kim and her daughter’s father Mr. Papers have kissed and made up. And their relationship status went from bad to worse after they seemingly called it quits last year.

You’ll recall, Mr. Papers hit below the belt posting up a picture of Kim’s well-known enemy Nicki Minaj on Instagram admiring the scantily clad photo. Ish was ready to hit the fan when the twosome ended up in court to duke it out in a nasty custody battle over their daughter Royal Reign. Mr. Papers was livid, making claims that Kimmy was keeping their daughter away from him.

But now, those things are of the past and they have let bygones be bygones in an effort to save their family.

Yesterday, Mr. Papers wrote a long heartfelt apology to his queen, gushing over the Brooklyn raptress and owning up to the mistakes he made during their relationship. He posted up a picture of himself holding their baby girl (when she was an infant) with the caption:

I want to apologize to the girl that I Love and the only girl I will ever Love @lilkimthequeenbee my baby's mother/ best friend . She is an amazingly beautiful girl inside & out and the realest girl I kno ... My heart is with her . I made a lot of mistakes growing up and I even made mistakes after I grew up but one of my biggest mistakes was losing my wife and all that time with my family ... When I posted a pic of her enemy I was in my feelings and upset because she was posting pics with other niggaz and I acted off my emotions , but the truth is , there is no female out here , rapper chick /celeb chick or regular female that is Badder or flyer than Kim "nobody "!!! And as u guys can see I'm the type of person that just says exactly what I feel No Chill
I'm just happy I get to be back in my daughters life . She's my little twin and I won't ever be away from her no matter what !
All I can say is ...God is Real!!! I thank the Big Homie for putting me back with my family (Photo credit @lilkimthequeenbee )
 

Following his public apology, the femcee took to her Instagram to share how happy she is to have her family back and that she has forgiven him. She wrote:

Look at God ! .... As mad as I am and was .. How can I be mad at this smh .. This is very sweet @mr_papers .... We all make mistakes none of us are perfect , but it's when we can acknowledge our mistakes is when we begin to grow into the beautiful men and women God intended for us to be
I love @mr_papers and always have. we have been thru hell and heaven 2gether and have made a beautiful baby girl , we were on our way to being a very happy family but the devil has tried to intervene many of times even to the point of bringing us into court to a nasty custody battle but what the devil meant for bad God turned into good
The things that he's done have been a hard pill to swallow and I kno it is for a lot of Kim supporters ......I still want to put some of royal 's dirty poop diapers in his suit case without him knowing
But this mr papers is some beautiful grown man shit. this is the side I always wanted ppl to see
At the end of the day it's all about Princess Royal Reign
And now we can move forward to being a happy healthy family and my daughter will have her Mommy and Daddy in her life
God gets the victory!!!
Thank you #teamkim and the #killerbeehive for always being there through good and rough times. After weeks of going to court...Now it's back to the money!!! On my way to the studio team kim.

Well good for them...and even better for little Royal (who turned 1 in June).

Speaking of Nicki Minaj...

The bootylicious raptress is featured in Robin Thicke’s new video for his single “Back Together.” No, this track isn’t about his ex-wife Paula Patton (thankfully). If you haven't heard, Robin is currently dating model April Love Geary.

While chopping it up recently with “GMA” co-host Robin Roberts about the new single, the Grammy nominated singer explained,

“I didn’t write this song, so I can’t take credit for the meaning. It’s more about the theme of getting yourself back together with love and partnership.”

The party track, produced byMax Martin and Savan Kotecha, features the 38-year-old singer throwing a pool party in a Miami mansion with a bevy of chicks strutting around in bikinis. The “Anaconda” raptress reunites with the R&B crooner (remember their "Shakin’ It For Daddy" track?) with her usual sexualized moves and racy lyrics. Check it above.

The single will appear on Robin’s eighth studio album set to debut this fall, the follow-up to his Paula LP. We feelin’ it?

After her run-in with her ex-husband Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian hopped on a private jet to link up with her rumored boo James Harden. Peep pics of the twosome grabbing a bite to eat inside….

“You just run, to the arms of the one who loves you” – Xscape

That’s exactly what Khloe Kardashian did. After her run-in with her ex-husband Lamar Odom Wednesday morning, the 31-year-old reality star hopped on a private jet to Houston. And what do you know, she landed right in the arms of her rumored NBA baller beau James Harden.

The twosome was in the mood for some Mexican cuisine, so they hit up fast food chain Chipotle in Houston yesterday. While inside, a few fans were able to snap a few pics them as they ordered their food:

And a few days ago...

Khloe's bestie Malika Haqq posted a pic of Khloe kissing on James after celebrating with her sister Kylie for her 18th birthday.

These two can’t seem to get enough of one another. Last week, Khloe was on the sidelines cheering James on while he played in the "Drew League" game in L.A. Before that, the rumored couple was spotted hanging out together in Las Vegas and they’ve hit up a spin class together. Plus, they were spotted on a dinner date in Calabasas a few weeks ago.

Now…about that alleged "ambush"....

Sources on the scene told TMZ that Lamar popped up on her as she was walking inside SoulCycle for an early morning workout They're saying he was screaming and yelling at her and he grabbed her arm. It’s reported Khloe screamed as she tried to get away from him and was totally freaked out by the incident. But Lamar is singing a different tune.

Lamar caught up with TMZ photogs yesterday totell his side and he said he did NOT harass, grab or scream at her. He also said they planned to meet up at that time and he was not stalking her. The former NBA star said he’s fed up with the lies and if they continue, he plans on airing out EVERYTHING. We’ll be sure to have a coffee mug ready if/when he does.

NBA player J.R. Smith proposed to his baby momma recently, and his daughter Demi was his wing woman!  Watch the adorable engagement clip inside and see James Harden celebrating his birthday and Adidas deal with Khloe Kardashian in Houston.

Over the weekend, NBA baller J.R. Smith (of the Cleveland Cavaliers) uploaded an adorable video showing how he proposed to his baby momma Shirley.  J.R. (shown above with daughters Demi and Peyton) roped 6-year-old Demi into the "proposal" by having her ask Shirley, "Mommy will you marry us?  Yes or naw?"  Once Shirley (shown below) gained her composure and stopped laughing, she said yes!

Check out the proposal here....

It goes without saying that J.R.'s proposal caught us off-guard since he had been dating a chick named Ashley.  In fact, Ashley  was seen hanging out at a Cavaliers game with Teyana Taylor in May.  Oh wells.....we wonder if she found out about the engagement via Instagram.....

Down in Houston...

Houston Rockets baller James Harden, who's turning 25-years-old on August 26th, kicked off his birthday festivities early, and  his boo Khloe Kardashian was by his side. The twosome (shown above during a random trip to Chipotle last week) have been boo'd up in the Bayou City for a few days now, following Khloe's arrival after a run-in with her ex-husband Lamar Odom.

Friday night, the pair linked up with a few of James' friends and partied at Aristocratlifes Engineroom. Sources on the scene say Khloe and James were VERY close all night and danced together for several hours.

The venue was decorated with posters congratulating James on his $200 million Adidas deal and fellow NBA players Zach Randolph and Pat Beverley were there to cheer him on as well.

Check out the party video below...

Ciara and Russell Wilson were spotted at the Seattle Storm vs. San Antonio Stars game last night.  See Ciara out with the Wilsons inside...

Pop starlet Ciara is currently in Seattle with her boo Russell Wilson. Last night, they watched the San Antonio Stars battle the Seattle Storm.......and the Storm won (72-63).  But Cici and Russell weren't alone in their courtside seats. The couple was joined by Anna Wilson (Russell’s sister), and his mom.  And from the looks of their body language, the Wilsons seem to really like Ciara.  Hmmm....we wonder if Mama Wilson is ready for a new daughter-in-law?

In other Cici tidbits, the "Dance Like We’re Making Love" singer chatted it up with radio personality Sway recently, and he asked about abstinence with respect to Russell Wilson.  He joked, “When Russell sees that video, are you giving him any idea of what it’s gonna be like?”

CiCi responded, “You’re putting me on blast right now. We definitely should dance like we’re making love, and we should, yeah, whenever the time comes.”

Check out the interview below:

B.o.B. is sharing his...length.  Deets inside, plus what girlfriend Sevyn Streeter told us about his eggplant inside.  Also, ballerina Misty Copeland is dishing on her upcoming wedding!

We're not sure what brought this on, but he is the same dude to start #EggplantFriday.  Rapper B.o.B. posted the above pic recently and said:

disable this ... #measuringtapechallenge

Oh?  8.5 inches of your manly bits you say?  We KNOW girlfriend Sevyn Streeter is a happy girl who may be willing to talk about her boo being so vocal about his....length.

So when we hit the "Straight Outta Compton" red carpet premiere, we asked Sevyn (who rocked a camel-colored House of CB caged dress) about her boyfriend's #Eggplant instagram antics (before this particular pic).  She told TheYBF.com,

"I thought that sh*t was hilarious! I don't get upset about things that. We were artists before we started dating each other and we’re artists now and he's funny, so I don't I don't take that seriously."

Cute.

In other copupledom news, Prima Ballerina Misty Copeland is having the best year ever.  As if things could get any better for the 32-year-old, they actually did.

Recently, Misty visited a new Boys & Girls Club to chop it up with the kiddies.  She was a product of the program herself, so it's only right she gave back.

But in a pic that a local Boys & Girls Club chapter posted from Misty's visit, we spotted an engagement ring.  And apparently, so did others.

Misty confirmed to ESSENCE in her new September 2015 cover story that her boyfriend Olu Evans is now her fiancé.  Yep, he proposed!  And she said yes.

Misty gave even more details to Vanity Fair Tuesday whens he dished on her wedding dress.  And it's not going to be what you would expect.  She said:

“My fiancée [Olu Evans] calls me fancy!

..

I’d like to show my figure, somewhat—romantic and elegant. I don’t think I want to go super poofy or anything like that. It’s very different for a performer, a ballerina, someone who is onstage a lot and wears big costumes. So it's not like this is my chance to be that way, because that's something I do every day, almost. I want to feel like myself—but more beautiful than I do every day.”

We're sure it will be simply beautiful, and the bride will be drop dead gorgeous.

Grand Hustle rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny are still all wrapped up in love after celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary on vacation a few weeks ago.

Last night, the Harrises made time for a cute date night at celeb hotspot Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills to dine on some Italian eats.

Last week, the Grand Hustle honcho was making rounds and hitting up meetings with Common and Usher in Chicago. Tip revealed he was conducting meetings with big wigs from global corporations such as Starbucks, JCPenny, CHASE and other Fortune 500 companies.

His plan? Paving a way to create jobs for the youth. Gotta love it!

Kevin Hart and his fiancée Eniko Parrish were spotted decked out in all black making their way to 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood to party it up last night. The lovebirds were ready to "turn up" after much rest and relaxation on a romantic couples getaway in Mexico and Napa for Eniko's birthday yesterday.

Kevin and Eniko won't be in L.A. for long. The funnyman is set to hit the stage at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY for his "What Now" comedy tour stop tomorrow night (August 20th).

In sadder news....

Hollywood veteran Morgan Freeman made his first appearance since the fatal stabbing of his 33-year-old step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines.

It’s being reported the budding actress’ live-in boyfriend, 30-year-old Lamar Davenport, stabbed her to death on the sidewalk in Harlem last Sunday. New reports reveal she was stabbed 15 times in what witnesses describe as an “exorcism.” Heartbreaking.

The pain in his eyes is breaking our hearts! We send our prayers.

The production crew was seen offering up their condolences after wrapping up a day of filming.

Hours after E’Dena’s death, her boyfriend Lamar was charged with murder. Since the brutal murder, details about his past have surfaced. PEOPLE dug up a few tidbits from his troubled past, which entails:

In 2010, he was charged with petit larceny in New York. That same year, he was charged with possession of marijuana. (Both charges were later dropped.) In 2014, he was arrested by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies and charged with cocaine possession. He agreed to go to rehab, but skipped out on a February court hearing. A judge signed a bench warrant for his arrest.

There were other issues, as well. Last January, he was taken to a Pennsylvania hospital for a drug-related incident.

Lamar is currently under psychiatric hold, but was arraigned from his hospital bed today. He’s due back in court on Friday, August 21st.

We're keeping Morgan Freeman and his family in our prayers.

In our WEEKEND LOVE roundup, we've got touching moments between Nicki Minaj, Nia Long and Chrissy Lampkin with their loved ones. Check them out inside...

On Saturday, Nicki Minaj attended the wedding of her older brother Jelani...and it was an emotional moment for her. 

Via a series of captions, it's easy to see that Nicki and Jelani are very close and protective of one another.

"Jelani, I love u more than you'll ever comprehend. I would cross the ocean for u. I would go & bring u the moon. Promise u. For u I will.

I love my brother so much man. Can't believe I cried during his wedding and his first dance like a punk. May God bless him and his union.

"Tonight has been one of my favorite nights of all time. I do anything to see my brothers smile."

 

While Nicki has been very forthcoming about her troubled childhood, you can tell that she and her father Robert Maraj have put their differences aside.  She shared an emotional moment with him as well. 

Nicki also paid tribute to her queen, her mom Carol. Nicki wrote"LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER 2 MOTHERFUCKING QUEENS. YESSSSSSSS MAMA MARAJ! FUCKINGGGGG SLAAAAAAY"

We guess Jim initially had second thoughts about showing off his blunt skills, but changed his mind.

Actress Nia Long posted some cute pics on IG of her fiance Ime Udoka and their son Kez (below) over the weekend. 

The Udokas were on their way to watch Nia's oldest son Massai Zhivago Dorsey II play baseball. Nia captioned"Lil homie. #bigbrotherbaseballgame"

Couple alert! We noticed Drake was attending many of Serena Williams’ tennis matches...and now we know why. Come inside to peep pics of the twosome getting cozy with one another over the weekend inside…..

Well, well, well….look what we have here!

Drake…Serena Williams…get kissy?! That’s what it looks like.

Lately, we’ve noticed Drake has been a regular at many of Serena Williams’ tennis tournaments. He’s been spotted at Wimbledonin London, Rogers Cup in Toronto and yesterday he was front-and-center at Serena’s match at the WTA tournament in Cincinnati.

But it’s what went down afterwards that has tongues wagging. After the tennis champ took home the title at the WTA tournament, Drizzy and Serena linked up for dinner. The twosome was spied having a cozy celebratory dinner at traditional Italian trattoria Sotto restaurant in downtown Cincinnati. And it’s clear SOMETHING is brewing between the two. Peep a few more pics of the two HERE.

Last month, Serena was asked about her “friend” Drake attending her tennis matches were she tried to detract us from their possible coupling. But, it was only a matter of time before the truth came out.

Sources tell TMZ Drake and Serena reserved a private room in the back of the eatery where they dined with 6 of their friends. But based on these pictures that just surfaced, all they needed was each other. We hear a round of tequila shots helped set the mood just right. Mmhmm….
 

But a few months ago....

The world’s No. 1 female tennis player was all love-dovey with her then boyfriend/tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou (above). They were spotted together snapping selfies in Australia before the Hopman Cup tournament in January of this year. Back in April, Serena and Patrick were seen hitting the tennis court together gearing up for the Miami Open. So sometime between April and now, the two called it quits and she has now moved on to the 6ix God.

Drake is now officially “Mr. Steal Your Girl”...

We showed you pics of Drake and Serena Williams all cuddled up after her tennis tournament at the W&S Open in Cincinnati yesterday. Now, we have video footage of the twosome all googly-eyed on the sidelines. Peep the clip and get the deets on her fifth WTA title inside…

It appears Drake and Serena Williams was smitten with one another all day yesterday. Before they got all close-and-personal during dinner, Serena hit the tennis court at the W&S Open in Cincinnati, while Drizzy looked on from the stands.

As the tennis champ sat on the sidelines, the 6ix God wasn’t far behind. And one sneaky onlooker caught a special moment between the twosome:

Look at that smile!

While in the stands, the Young Money rapper was captured in another clip holding nothing back while cheering on his new boo:

That's right Drizzy. Stan for your woman!

Here are a few pics of the "Energy" rapper below:

Meanwhile...

Between flirting with her new rumored boo on the sidelines, Serena dominated the tennis court to cop yet ANOTHER title. She clearly has mastered the art of multi-tasking.

The 33-year-old tennis star brought her A-game to win her FIFTH WTA title of the year, beating out Romanian player Simona Halep at the Western & Southern Open yesterday.

In total, Serena has 69 WTA titles under belt. Work!

After taking down her opponent, Serena gave her winning speech, in which she said,

"Thank you Simona for playing such a good match today, and always being such an incredible opponent and incredible sportswoman. I'm always honored to play against you and always have such a wonderful match whenever we play.”
 

She added,

"I've also got to say, I don't get support everywhere I play, but I get so much support here in Cincinnati that it makes me want to come back forever and ever, so thank you to all the fans today!"
 

Next up for Serena? She will hit the tennis court at the U.S. Open kicking off August 31st in NYC.
