LaToya's Man Steppin Out With Farrah?+Keyshia "Shoulda Let You Go"




Once again LeToya is about to get replaced by Farrah Franklin:





YBF snitches report that LeToya's rumored fiance Deshawn Stevenson (of the Washington Wizards) has been chatting it up extra hard with Destiny's other ex-stepchild--Farrah Franklin.


Apparently the two have been chatting back and forth on myspace recently and left some extra steamy and graphic messages on each other's message columns late last night. There must have been some regret because the messages were removed today--clearly word got back to Miss Toya about it all. Deshawn is known to ho it up around town with groupie love and other chicks--but he's not ashamed to admit his love for Toya either. Interestingly enough--Farrah and Deshawn dated back in middle school as well. She must have decided to dip into her own leftovers when that jump off situation with Weezy led her nowhere. Damn.



Deshawn also has removed LeToya from his Top Friends list on myspace. But replaced her with this new chick and Farrah. I would think you would oput your fiance as #1....




Not taking pics with the chick above and posting it and talking extra sexy with Farrah Franklin. I'm guessing the whole "engagement" is over...



In DC last weekend

Especially because Toya hasn't been rocking that stunner engagement ring recently either. Mmhmm...


Check out Keyshia Cole's new video for "Shoulda Let You Go":













*Sigh* I'm disappointed. Can we get a storyline to go along with the song here? Not just an Ashanti "Rock With You" video remix. I'm just sayin'....

To all my fabulous readers: Thanks for being patient. It's been the craziest few days ever and I'm still traveling back home from the NYC...hence the reason for the lack of posts. I could address the ignorance of people who come to YBF just to talk ish, but it's not necessary. Folks will ALWAYS find something to say. For my readers who appreciate me working my ass off by myself to bring the updates while traveling nonstop for a few days...y'all know the deal. Things will be back to normal soon.

Speculate THIS

Yeah...so the internet streetz have gone straight nutty recently about Trey Songz' new lil boo/Jeezy's jump off/video chick/Weezy's fantasy chick/everybody's supposed jumpoff Angel/Lola Love. And it looks like Trey is letting y'all know this chick is indeed his:







Apparently they like to do "private" photoshoots together often. Why do we care again? I guess a dude (who is ho-tastic himself from what I hear) turning a video ho into a housewife is hot news these days. Whatev.







All the rumors of Michael Strahan dating Nicole Murphy were confirmed last night when they were spotted cuddling up at dinner last night in the NYC. They hit up Nello restaurant and posed for their first "coupled up" pic which was in the Post this morning. Nicole just loves her sme suspect dudes I see.

Mel B. was spotted out in LA yesterday:


Hopefully she was on her way to/from dance rehearsals with those leg warmers.



The 2nd Annual New York Magazine Best Bets Event to Benefit The Fund For Public Schools went down with Kerry Washington there:




Must be nice to shop for free.


And Rih Rih was spotted out shopping at the Lisa Klein store with her lil puppy:





Cuteness.



Splitsville: Nick Cannon & Selita Ebanks


Just as YBF reported earlier yesterday that Nick C. was looking suspectingly single at the Hennessy Artistry Event in NY Tuesday night....People.com is reporting they have officially split. Or are "taking a break". What is this "take a break" nonsense anyway? Verrrry interesting. The extra camera ready engagement should have been the first sign this ish wouldn't last. So Nick getting all snuggly with a certain actress and being fiance-less on Tuesday night shouldn't be hard to believe. Ish was over before they even hit the church. Damn.

Weezy Brings The Entertainment+Is Nick C. Already Stepping Out On Selita?+Other Fabness




Because the crazy interviews just keep on coming this week....here's some excerpts from Weezy's interview with VIBE:


Weezy: Some people can't sing and can just use their voice very
uniquely. I was watching these clips on E! of the worst people singing the National Anthem and - what's the dudes name from that rock group- the nigga with the big lips?
Vibe: Steven Tyler. Weezy: Steven Tyler? That's the nigga with the big lips? That nigga's like the worst ever! The secret - WHITE PEOPLE
CAN'T SING UNLESS YOU'RE ROBIN THICKE!

Vibe: He's the only one?
Weezy: I know they got more but I don't feel like thinking right
now. I just... I don't care - fuck them!




Weezy: Yeah, I said I'm a whore. I'm a whore. Whatever. And I live
it to the fullest. I'm like Trey Songz, no homo.
Vibe: Huh? Why?



Weezy: Every picture of this nigga, he got his fucking shirt off!
He's looking at the camera like he's looking at a hoe.. I said, ya know what? Trey Songz don't give a fuck - he be like, Fuck ya'll nig*as! I'm eating, bwoy! Fuck how you think I look in this picture, your hoe love this picture! It's her screensaver nig*a! When you call your hoe, my song play, fool! Holla! Trey Songz I fuck with you, you heard me?



Vibe: So you respect his gangster.
Weezy: I know he a G 'cause I tried to holler at his girlfriend and
she said no.
Vibe: Really?

Weezy: I don't even wanna put that man out there, that might not be
his girlfriend, but in her mind she think she yours, dog, and she told me no for you, so you's a G. And this wasn't long ago, this was recently, I was the president, I had all that going for me, bitch said NO! She sent me a picture of y'all and everything, like that new video from 50 and Ciara, that's how y'all was.
Vibe: Naked on top of each other?
Weezy: For real, I fuck with Trey Songz, no homo.


LOL at all the "No homo" declarations and his all around foolishness. That's a funny dude.


YBF snitches say Nick Cannon was getting extra cozy with actress Zulay Henao, the star of that new movie “Feel the Noise at the Hennessy Artistry New York concert last night:
Selita was nowhere in sight. Interesting.


Chrisette Michele was also there to perform.


Really Brian White? I mean...really?




And Terrance J and Denise Vasi were there.

Ni was spotted leaving J Holiday's album release party in NY this week:



Stop playing in the Barbie aisle at Target boo.



Elsewhere in NY this week, the R&B showcase at Spotlight went down:


Gabby Union and Trey Songz were there.



Zab Judah looks like a 10 year old at all times but he is indeed married with kids.

Terrance Howard, Angie Martinez, and Irv Gotti kicked it:


Alesha Rene, Rocsi, and Terrance hit the mic.



Jaheim was there showing off his fade.


And Diddy and Bob Johnson were there too:




Fun times.



It's official. The powers that Be are making a Notorious B.I.G. movie and are about to start the casting:



Notorious Films launches an open casting call for the role of ChristopherWallace in the upcoming feature film NOTORIOUS, to be directed by George Tillman (SOUL FOOD, MEN OF HONOR) and released by Fox Searchlight Pictures. Auditions will be held at City Stages (435 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011),
Saturday, October 6th from 10:00am – 1:00pm. For more information, go to www.foxsearchlight.com/notorious or
http://www.biggiecasting.com/.


I'm surprised Diddy didn't talk MTV into letting him do a Making The B.I.G. reality show out of this ish. My money's on Sean Kingston.
Stay fab!

But Her ---------- Looks Nice....





Here we go again. Hottie from FOL and Charm School has lost her ugg boot cropped and too tight sweater crispy satin camisole ass mind and hit the stage at the Fox Reality Awards Show looking like this. First Khia...now this. It's clearly the week for foolywang material. I'm convinced she has no friends and her parents don't love her. "But her -------- looks nice." Y'all know the drill.

Brian McKnight Tries To Stay Relevant+Ashanti Joins The Pay To Party Circuit+Solange Addreses Rumorville

The MGM Grand opened a new hotel in Detroit last night:


And Ashanti was there to make an appearance/get a check. Y'all know this album is about to cost more to put out than she's about to make from it. Let's keep it all the way real...





Anita Baker was there too.





She did look pretty fab though.



Brian McKnight Rehearses for his Broadway Debut as Billy Flynn in "Chicago":






Why is this so funny...yet so fitting?




Oh really Solo?

Chick talked to Essence.com about her upcoming album, her sister, and what's been popping off in the rumor mill lately:





ESSENCE.com: So you don’t aspire to your sister’s level of
superstardom?
S.K.: No, I don’t want to get that far. (Laughs) I feel really bad for my
sister. I’m always like “Oh, let’s go to the mall” or “Let’s go here” and she can’t. I enjoy having that.



ESSENCE.com: But do you ever feel as if you have to compete with
her?
S.K.: No, I think that as artists we’re totally different, and when this
record comes out it will express that. But I admire my sister so much. She’s one of my role models in that she is successful and classy. She’s very diplomatic and lives her life true to self.



ESSENCE.com: She’s been known to say she doesn’t go on the Internet because of all the craziness. Do you avoid the Web and reading what’s in the blogosphere?
S.K.: People actually e-mail me the links all the time, and I’m like “Okay, thanks I really wanted to see that.”


ESSENCE.com: Let’s address some of the rumors out there. Apparently, folks believe you left your husband for Lil Wayne. Is that true?
S.K.: (Laughs) That’s absolutely not true. Yes, we know each other but I
absolutely did not leave my husband for him.



ESSENCE.com: There’s also been some buzz that you had cosmetic surgery—a nose job.
S.K.: (Laughs) Not true. I’ve heard that one, too. That one actually
cracked me up. I mean if I got some surgery, I would wait until I’m older and pop out a couple more kids.


ESSENCE.com: So even if you had had cosmetic surgery, you wouldn’t be
ashamed to admit it?
S.K.: No.


ESSENCE.com: What’s the craziest rumor you’ve heard about
yourself?
S.K.: I think the craziest rumor was that my dad paid my son’s father $1
million to marry me. That was everywhere at one time, and that was really funny. I always joke that I wish we had it like that: “Here, take a million dollars, marry her…”

Bout damn time she admitted to divorcing dude. Now I truthfully have absolutely no interest in her or any her situations. Carry on Solo...
