Damn Remy. Chick took a loss today. She was formally sentenced to 8 years in Rikers for shooting Makeda Barnes outside a NYC nightclub months ago. Her lawyer says they will appeal, but in the meantime chick is on heavy lock up status. And to make matters worse, her jailbird wedding to Papoose never went own yesterday as planned. Why you ask? Because dum dum diddy Papoose tried to sneak in a handcuff key and is now banned from even visiting Rikers for the next six months. You’re in lock up in Rikers with nobody to do your weave, no freedom to rock your fave coochie cutters, and now not even a conjugal visit can go down for six months? Damn homie. Rough times.

Sources exclusively tell The YBF that Alicia Keys is the next spokesperson for Vitamin Water. She’ll be joining 50 Cent (who has recently stated he doesn’t like Alicia anymore) and Kelly Clarkson in that Vitamin Water hawking arena. I’m told her contract with the Vitamin Water company is worth $50 million. Damn. An announcement will likely happen some time in June around her Summer Jam appearance in the NYC. Congrats to Alicia!

Ciara and her new boo Church leaving her room at the Hotel George together

Maybe she and 50 Cent weren’t lying about not being in a relationship.  Sources who spotted our favorite falsetto loving Pop N’ B chick Ciara kissing and all boo’d up with a new man sent over a pic of the new couple.  Apparently CiCi has been keeping this new relationship extra private, but she was still caught getting all cuddled up with him around D.C. when she was here a little while ago.  The source tells me her new beau goes by the name of “Church” (seriously?) and is actually a successful entrepenuer and a relative of Al Mudi (who is arguably the richest black man in the world).

And since her personal assistant is doing eerything in her power to shut down a certain paparazzo from releasing  more telling pics of the two…this is the only one we’ve been able to get our hands on so far.  I’m told there are definitely more pics but her assistant is in heavy negotiations to buy them exclusively.  Y’all know that makes me want to cop those even more.  And you know we’re working on it…. 

Her brothers were there too of course.

And at the wedding and reception:

Of course she made a beautiful bride. By the way, I take back my preggers suspicions after seeing the rest of these pics. For now at least.

Her co-stars from The Game Shanti Lowry,Brittany Daniel, Hosea Chanchez, and Wendy Raquel Robinson were all there too:

I see Urkel/Jaleel White made an appearance too.

And Tamera was spotted at the reception hugged up on who sources tell me is indeed her man.

Lots more pics when you read the rest…

There’s indeed a message he’s relaying to the masses, but I have a feeling this is about to cause a whole lot of ruckus.

And Teairra Mari is back just as I reported last week. The YBF exclusively has her first single “No No No” with her new label Interscope. Check it:

[See post to listen to audio]

She’s also the newest face for Jean Addicts. The same company that Ne-Yos ex/baby mama is the face of as well. Let me find out this chick Teairra got voice lessons because this track sounds hella better than her “Make A Girl Feel” style tracks did. Work it out then Teairra.
