Mekhi Phifer was spotted out and about with his fiance Oni yesterday in L.A.:

And Chris Brown and Rihanna are still partying it up in Dublin:

They were spotted getting all kissy huggy while at the club. I can’t lie–they’re cute.

Chick looks tipsy as hell–like one of those emotional tipsy girls…

P.S. Looks like that “cold sore” lurking on Rih Rih’s mouth is the reason she’s been covering it up lately. Mmhmm. More pics of these two when you read the rest…

I would make it an all out guessing game but that takes too much energy.  My girl Tiffany from Atlanta Gossip just dished to me that Mya “I found a new hustle” Harrison is allegedly pregnant.  Oh, but there’s more.

The father of her child is allegedly Jared Najjar, son of the billionaire real estate tycoon Lee Najjar who was pegged as Real ATL Housewife Kim’s ‘Big Poppa”.  Oh what a tangled web we weave.  Apparently Mya and Jarad met at a party in L.A. and have been secretly dating ever since.  And of course, Jared is an “aspiring actor” who has a BFF style bromance with Brody Jenner.  We’ve contacted Mya’s people for confirmation.  But in the meantime, congrats to Mya for exchanging the music thing for a baby.

UPDATE: Her current publicity team has stated that the story is untrue. And it is actually her brother who is expecting his first child. So take it how you wanna…

R. Kelly’s divorce from his estranged dancer wife Andrea is now final. The two were married for 11 years and separated back in ‘05 when Andrea filed an emergency restraint order against the R. According to the joint statement from their divorce lawyers:

“The parties have reached an amicable resolution concerning all issues related to their marriage, and will share joint custody of their three children. The details of this agreement will remain confidential and the family requests that their privacy be respected during this time.”

Damn R.

Kanye is rocking the cover of the new February issue of VIBE magazine. 808’s and Heartbreak is probably the best way to describe the month of love.  Kanye said in the issue that he is definitley willing to pose nude for somebody’s magazine:

“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans.  I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”

And his take on the greatest folks in the biz:

“I believe Beyoncé is the greatest performer of our generation,” he offered. “I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and [Lil] Wayne as far as who’s the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity.”

Interesting.

Tonight we can finally catch (or DVR) an all new episode of “The Game”. In the episode entitled, “The Negotiation Episode,” Derwin (Pooch Hall) advises Jason (Coby Bell) to stop at nothing to win Kelly (Brittany Daniel) back and put an end to all the divorce talk, but Jason’s grand gesture may be too little too late for Kelly.

And a source on the CW publicity team just divulged to us that Lisa Bonet’s husband Jason Momoa will be guest starring–and possibly for 3 episodes. He’s set to play the love interest to Kelly.

Well what do we have here? A source has just sent in a very interesting tidbit. This time last year NY Giant Osi Umenyiora was Selita Ebanks’ man. But hopefully they’re not still together (I have heard they have broken up) because we hear Free–formerly of “106 and Park”–is his new chick on the low. She’s been keeping it very secret, but people have been wondering why she’s been giving sneaky shout outs to the Giants on her radio show every other day. Especially when she was a die hard Patriots fan in her “106 and Park” days. So now her little secret’s been exposed…

By the way, this wouldn’t be the first time Free was linked to somebody’s man. Remember the Jay-Z/Free rumors–that we all know had some truth to them? Damn…there’s even a recession with men these days. We gotta spread the wealth. SMDH…

So Ne-Yo is fed up with all the rumors and controversy surrounding him these days. And he did what every professional entertainer does to clear his name: A “F*CK YOU” myspace message. Check what he just posted:

One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially.

Pardon my french, but what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me??

Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke. Y’all REALLY took that serious!?!

I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed.

The whole gay thing. For goodness sake it’s been 4 years!!!! Y’all still on that huh?
The whole “boys” song, and the song “go over there”. See this is what happens when people steal. These songs were clearly written for women. Had you been patient, you would have heard them the way they were supposed to be heard, with the voice of the intended artist on em’. But noooo, someone gets a hold of these demos and suddenly everybody forgets that I write songs for women. Riiight.

I tell People Magazine that Young Jeezy’s crib is right next to mine and that once I saw him in there from across the way. I then make a JOKE about him maybe not wanting to walk around naked in his crib with the shades up cause the buildings are THAT close to each other, and that AIN’T something I care to see. Suddenly, everybody thinks I said I saw Young Jeezy in his crib naked when, NEVER ONCE did I say anything like that.

I mean come on people. Is this really what you’re gonna spend time on??
Will you not be satisfied until I truly become this asshole you so desperately want me to look like??
Here’s my stand on the whole thing:
I’m NOT gay, I’m NOT prejudice to anyone, I DID NOT get stomped out by Jim Jones or anyone else, I’m NOT engaged, I’M NOT STUPID. And to anyone that INSISTS on thinking that any of these things are true……FUCK YOU. To the haters….find some new material please!!! It’s 2009, our president is black!!! Time for change. To everyone else……I love you to death, thanx for all your support. WE PLATINUM ROUND HERE!!!!!

Much love, and see you at the grammy’s. Check the suit…..it’s gonna be TROUBLE!!!

*snaps in a circle* Guess he told…somebody. The claws are out…but we still love you Ne-Yo.

Awards season is in full swing.  And YBF folks hit up the VH1 Critics’ Choice Awards last night in Santa Monica:

Taraji P. Henson has been getting tons of recognition this season for her role in Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  And chick is looking fabulous in this Kaufman Franco dress.

Her ex Common was there looking sexy as usual.

And Angela Bassett looked nice as well.  Even though I feel like she’s dressing way more covered up than she used to.  Don’t be scared to floss your hotness Angie…

Either it’s beyond cold or Rihanna thinks we don’t know she’s the only one attached to Chris Brown’s hip these days:

The two lovebirds were spotted out and about in Dublin, Ireland this week. Chris was there to perform and, of course, Rih Rih was there just because.
