After America's newest sweetheart grabbed the gold at yesterday's competition--making history as the first black woman to do so--everyday folks, celebs and the media went berserk. In a fabulous way.

We've got celeb reactions to Gabby's amazing accomplishment inside...

The jaw-dropping talent and poise of Gabby Douglas has had everybody in tears and celebration all week. And celebs are no different. Check out the YBF world's reactions to Gabby taking the Gold:

Beyonce: "A huge congratulations to 16-year-old Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas - Wow - what a thrill to watch you take this Gold! I can tell you've been working hard for so long - enjoy this moment, it's yours. Thank you for inspiring all of us!"

Lil Wayne: "Glad i lived to see what Gabby Douglas did in the Olympics. Icon."

Monica: Congratulations Gabby Douglas on your Olympic Achievements. Gymnastics Team USA u made us all proud❤

President Obama via hand delivered message from the White House in addition to a call from Air Force One: "You just tore it up. I know how hard you worked to get there. Keep at it. Stay cool."

Dominique Dawes: In a tearful video, Dominique said she is thrilled to change her website from being the ONLY to being the FIRST...

<br />   <A href="http://msn.foxsports.com/video?videoid=1015c625-5620-45f9-b269-b8554cc4ec58&src=v5:embed:syndication:&from=shareembed-syndication" target="_new" title="Inside Edge: Gymnastics Day 6 Recap">Video: Inside Edge: Gymnastics Day 6 Recap</a><br />

Even Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time--who celebrated his own history-making this week--took time from the pool to tweet: Congrats to @gabrielledoug last night!!! We watched from the pool!!! #USA."

By the way, maybe getting 35.7 million viewers during last night's telecast of the Gymnastics & Swimming matches in prime-time explains why NBC won't show ish live. Still annoying though.

Gabby, whose Twitter account doubled from 200K to 400K in just days, tweeted recently: "WOW such an AMAZING experience! Thank you all for your support, love and prayers love you all!!! #oncloud9 <3.....Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. "

And here at TheYBF.com, we couldn't be prouder. THIS is the definition of a YBF chick.

LESGETIT & Tori is the same

LESGETIT & Tori is the same sad pathetic obsessed PuertoRican coon who constantly throws shade on black blogs. Tori is one of those ugly nappy headed dark skinned Puerto women who are generally hated and disrepected by white Latinos who consider her type the stuff they scrape from beneath their shoes. Tori is the ugly poor PuertoRican colored island coon making the nasty comments about Gabby on the internet but she has nothing to say about that weird looking ugly PuertoRican Coon failure JOHN OROZCO who failed big time like all Puertos do.

Congrats to ALL OF TEAM USA bringing home the gold, and congrats to Michael Phelps making his own history as being the most decorated olympian...EVER!! smh Ci-error, "payed" lmao, ok.

If you're going to call

If you're going to call someone out on correct grammar and what not, at least make sure that your spelling is top notch. Spelling is just as important. The word is "grammar" not "grammer". You can't call someone else out when you make dumb mistakes, as well.

Didn't you say to LetsGetIt

Didn't you say to LetsGetIt that you were not a "sista" you were a Latina ( which clearly your arse is black)? So why are you constantly bombarding this site with insults and slights to blacks? How about you put up a REAL picture and a full one so we can critique you. Nah save it because Gabby and all her awkwardness will be 90 million deep paid while your fake arse is still posting slights on here from your cubicle barely getting by. Yeah, yeah I know you'll come back acting like you have some bigtime job which we know is a lie. There is no way you can and be on here this much. Please take your awkward arse to Latina.com and let's see you try and insult those white latinas over there "negroe".

Tori and the other shit is

Tori and the other shit is the same person. Don't let thst person get to you. I hope the site owner who I know to be a proud black woman fix this soon. It's not fair for us to come to a black blog and have to deal with racism.

Umm boo I clearly have no

Umm boo I clearly have no problem showing MY pic where is yours?? Exactly!!! You broads kill me. I didn't call the CHILD ugly, I said awkward!! Look it up!! If you all don't like my comments don't read or respond to them, like duhhh! You guys don't know what other sites I post on so how can you say I don't post on latino blogs, like you would even be able to read it smfh. Wow you guys, no hoodrats, are pathetic, which is why you guys get such a bad rep in the media, fall the fuq back!!!

Please, like I said, I am

Please, like I said, I am GROWN. These "cyber bullies" and "thumb thugs" do not bother me. I am clearly the highlight of their day. It's going to take a lot more than a handful of peasy headed ugly broads to get under my skin.

See dumb coon, I knew you

See dumb coon, I knew you would get tripped up on your own nonsense eventually. I am light skin with curly hair so what they hell would I have to be jealous of over a girl who is some fake Latina? I talked about my background times before. While you are pacifying this blatant racist fool you look like one. Don't ever speak like you know me because I have never had a convo with you or very few people about complexion on this site. If you want to fuck that troll do it, but don't use lies related to me to make it happen. Wack, no daddy having gay coon. Yes you a major fit throwing sissy that stay on here too much worrying about what "black" women are doing while you should be looking for your daddy. Oh and drop the racist fake Latina off at Latina.com so she can have the white ones on there air her out.

Ask Condoleeza, the First

Ask Condoleeza, the First Lady and Gabby Douglas if they're thinking about the looks that God gave them or if they're thinking about RUNNING IT while you just mill about spilling your feelings in the air. Find yourself, because if all you have to take pride in is your looks, you don't have much and let's not get started on accomplishments like those of the ladies previously mentioned. #haveastadiumofseats #simplemindsneednotapply

Awesome performance. We

Awesome performance. We gladly participate in the brainwashing of our community about what is good or bad hair-and the interesting part is that some of us take pride in fake hair than our own God given hair.You would think natural would trump over artificial, but to some people in our community,it is the opposite.They gladly wear fake artificial hair as a badge of honor and mock anyone who doesn't.....What a shame!

Great job, Awesome...so so

Great job, Awesome...so so proud of her. Every little girl should be watching. This is history, this is our contribution to the world, we were doing great things before hitting American soil, but that's not the history we were taught, but here we're seeing with our own eyes, so they can't rewrite history and leave out our contributions. Pay attention people, you too are capable of greatness, it's in our blood! Melanin, it do what it do...add hard work, focus, perseverance, dedication and BAM!!!
