All Around The Wood

Here's the first look at Ms. Kelly pimpin' the upcoming cover of KING mag's Wet Issue:

I must admit. She looks truly fabulous. Check out the behind the scenes vid here. I guess Kell saw LaToya's Wet Issue cover from last year and thought twice about actually having water splashed all over her ass....literally.





And guess who's selling their multi million dollar digs?

Oh yes. Reverend Run and Justine tried to keep it on the low but you know ya girl found out. They are selling their Saddle River, New Jersey home for $5.5 million. Word has it they're trying to move back to the heart of the NYC.

Do we really need 12 months of Bootz now that she's been booted from Charm School?

I mean...really.

In case you missed it....it's that time again. Bigga vacay pics hit the net recently and they lived it up in their fave vacation spot--the South of France:

They were spotted shopping in Monaco over the weekend.

And poolside of course:

Loves it.

Tiger Woods hosted his "Tiger Jam" Auction event this weekend at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Hotel in Vegas:

His celebrity friends came through:

Gabby Union, Chris Tucker, and Babyface kicked it.

And Alonzo Mourning hit it up too:

Christina Milian spent some QT with Gumby her man Dre and some friends partying during the Holiday weekend:

Chick is flawless.

Look who's still posting pics of herself all around the net:

Yep. Bobbi Kristina. Somebody had mercy on this girl because we ALL know she didn't get her cuteness from Bobbaaay.

Speaking of Bobby...he was caught getting all kissy kissy with is girlfriend/manager Alicia Ethridge in The Hamptons this weekend. The real question is who the hell paid for The Hamptons?




The Cannes Film Fest wrapped up days ago:




He copped the Breakthrough Actor of the Year award for his role in Bobby at the Trophy Ceremony.

And Naomi was there rocking her usual feathered dress look. Only she could pull this off though.

The Randomness:

1. I posted a blind item over at my gossipspace.

Djimon & KiKi's Family Day Out

Well look at Daddy Djimon gettin' all cozy with KiKi and the girls during a Memorial Day Holiday walk around Cannes. Just when we thought all that divorce talk by Kimora and Russey was just them runnin' their mouths as usual....








I could have sworn Russey was just kissing all over Kimora weeks ago...more than just the typical "Hey baby mama wassup" type of way. Something still aint right. I would pay money to hear Russey and Djimon in a heated argument over Djimon kickin' it real hard with the kids though. Y'all know it would be confusing as all hell. Somebody cue that "Same Girl" instrumental......




YBF has been entered into the "R. Kelly Same Girl" contest! Be sure to vote for YBF.Blogspot.Com RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW for having the best "Same Girl" stories this week.

Hov+50+Diddy=Ridiculous Money In The Bank

The list of Hip Hop's richest folks has hit the scene again. Last year Diddy was #1...but Mr. Shawn Carter straight took over. He's at #1 with $500 million in the bank. 50 took that #2 spot...thanks mainly to his Vitamin Water deal that gave him $400 million alone...and Diddy has slid to #3. I would tell Diddy to step his game up but just the simple fact he's a powerful man with some good credit is enough for me.

Panache Report's brief financial breakdown of Jay-Z's change:

Jay-Z's wealth for 2007 is based on the following: The Rocawear sale (after corporate lawyer fees and taxes applied) is in the $150-$160 million range, his Def Jam salary ($3 million) his endorsement deals ($9 million) his publishing rights ($10 million annually) his annual income from his 40/40 clubs is ($5 million), his income from Armadelle Vodka nets him $13 million yearly, his royalties from "Kingdom Come,' netted him $2 million due to a high royalty rate
(despite sluggish sales due to downloading ) and his consultant salary with Anheuser-Busch along with his NBA investment nets him a combined total of $5 million-and his $340 million carried over from 2006 brings the grand total to staggering: $547 million dollars. Highest dollar amount (Rocawear) calculated for overall total.

Honorable mentions were Nelly, T.I., Ludacris, and E-40. Nice.

Catch A Clue

Leaving Kelly's performance Wednesday

So the Daily News is reporting that Bigga was in full effect for Kelly's Cannes performance Tuesday. But after they were seated in the back of the venue...they decided to raise up out that piece. Damn. KiKi Simmons was there too kissing and cuddling with her boy toy Djimon Hounsou. Anyways....Kelly has a remix to "Like This" ft. Eve and the new remix king Weezy F. Baby here.


Guess who was spotted at her sister's graduation at Tuskegee University this week:

None other than Mrs. Jones. And yes....Ke Ke had the cameras there taping her at the graduation and yes she was laced with a mic. No reality show my ass....


Jaslene hit up TRL yesterday:

I see she never got the sammich and greens I FedExed.

And the TRL wannabes invited Meagan "I'm trying not to smell my upperlip so YBF doesn't talk about me" Good and Tip Harris to host 106 and Park yesterday:

Moving on...


Tatyana Ali hit up the Fashion Show For Robin Antin's new Pussycat Doll clothing line:

Do we really need 10 year olds dressing like their stripper big sister? Cuz y'all know nobody over the age of 12 will rock that ish. I mean...really.

Rih Rih is in the pages of US Weekly talking about her new weight loss. She says she worked her ass off in the gym for 2 weeks and it was a struggle. *blank stare* And she talked about her diet of lemon water, eggs, and chicken. Clearly she didn't learn a damn thing from B's cayenne pepper drink diet. It will come back Rih Rih. Trust.....

Halle and moms were spotted out shopping in The Hills yesterday.





I see the Razzi was acting the fool. And I hear the duo hit up one of my fave stores Anthropologie.

And the fabulousness that is Kerry Washington was a stunner at the Cinema Against AIDS 2007 Benefitng AMFAR event last night:

Loves it!

Eve's vid for "Tambourine" premiered last night. Check it.

That's a wrap. I leave today on a cruise to the Bahamas. So I'll catch y'all fabulous ones on Tuesday post vacay. Have a FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend. Bump the lipgloss...summertime is about to be poppin'.
