Grammys '09: The Afterparties

A ridiculous amount of parties went down post-Grammys. And we've got all the coverage of course: Ashanti thought wearing 2 sizes too small was a good idea. Not a gorrible look, but I have a feeling she can't breathe. Wasn't feeling this dress on Christina at all. Too long for how short she is. Cute shoes though. And I don't know what Raven was thinking when she left the house. More foolywangery and fabulousness when you read the rest....

BABY FAB: Eddie Murphy Ordered To Pay Child Support For Angel!+Tiger Woods Welcomes Second Child!

I know Eddie was expecting this ish. A judge has just ordered him to pay Mel B. $51,000/month in child support for Baby Angel Iris Murphy. It's a total package of about $10 million. Damn! Eddie originally denied Mel B. was pregnant with his child, even though Mel stated from the get the baby was indeed his. After Mel B. got married to Stephen and a paternity test was done, it was definite Eddie IS the father.

Grammys '09: The Show

Celebs hit the stage and audience for all the awards and performances.  And Jay-Z, M.I.A., Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West all hit the stage for an update Rat Pack performance--called The Rap Pack.  They did "Swagga Like Us" of course. M.I.A.'s baby was like--crowning--while she was hopping around on stage. And look who Weezy brought along--his girl Nivea. Jen and David kicked it in the audience after she won for Best R&B Album. And so did Keyshia Cole and Leona Lewis. More pics when you read the rest...

Grammys '09: Red Carpet

YBF folks hit the Grammy red carpet Sunday night.  And it looks like Tiny's been reading some tips on how to not  look a foolywang mess.  She's looking pretty nice in Herve Leger sequins next to her man T.I. Solange hit the carpet but her sis Beyonce surprisingly missed the whole event. Wasn't loving Fantasia dress.  Her makeup was nice though.  And even though she and Jennifer Hudson didn't win Best R&B Collabo for "I'm His Only Woman", she says Jennifer is a great friend of hers and she's definitely moving on. And Jigga looked pretty dapper as usual.  I hear he was fuming mad on the red carpet after learning of the Chris Brown/Rihanna fiasco. More pics when you read the rest...

Grammy '09 Red Carpet: YBF's Best Dressed

Despite all the Grammy drama, YBF folks hit the carpet looking pretty damn fabulous tonight.  And here's a few of our faves: Jennifer Hudson is the comeback queen.  She rocked this knee length black and white origami RM by Roland Mouret Trenet dress for her red carpet look. Very different for her.  Hair and makeup were on point and she completed the look with a dash of color--blue Louboutin pumps. Even though I do think some jeweled strappy sandals would have looked even more perfect.  Her fiance David was her date for the night of course.  He said they've become much closer within the last few months.  And the reason he loves her so much is because she "just gets him 100%".  Well that is pretty sweet. I don't know where LeToya Luckett's been lately, but she surely hit tonight's red carpet looking extra fabulous: Loving the whole look.  Hot pink sateen mini dress with an over the top collar necklace, python exotic pink clutch, and extra high heeled sky blue pumps.  Something about the look just works for me.  Even if her shoes do look a bit big for her and this sleek look.  Barbie Dollish, but I'm feeling it.

GRAMMY DRAMA: Chris Brown Investigated In Domestic Violence & Felony Battery Charges!

UPDATE (1:20a EST): Video of Chris Brown turning himself in to LAPD is below (excuse the extra large size for now). He has already set bail. Word has it he was charged with Felony Criminal Threats--which means physical violence accompanied verbal threats. Rihanna was also spotted at the LAPD Wilshire Station making the actual booking charges. She appeared to have serious bruises on her face:




UPDATE (11:13p EST): Chris Brown has officially been booked and his bail is set at $50,000.  Full Booking info when you read the rest... UPDATE (10:21P EST): We're told Chris has been getting prepped by his lawyers for the last few hours. And he has just turned himself in to LAPD. UPDATE (9:11p EST): Ok, here's the low down we got from an extremely credible PR source on the ground at the Grammys. Said source tells TheYBF.com that the "car accident" story is false and is being used to throw everyone off. Rihanna is DEFINITELY the victim of domestic violence and is now pressing charges against her boyfriend Chris Brown as we speak. Early this morning while leaving Clive Davis' party, the two got into a physical altercation in their limo and he punched Rihanna in the face. We're told that's when he/the limo dropped her at Hancock Park in L.A., and she ran and called 911. He left the scene and hasn't been found since. We're told Chris has until midnight tonight to turn himself in to LAPD. Otherwise, he will be arrested as soon as he's spotted by an LAPD officer. We're told Rihanna is definitely in the hospital recovering as we speak. UPDATE (7:21pm EST): It has just been confirmed that neither Rihanna nor Chris Brown will be performing or showing up at all to tonight's Grammys. Grammy staffers are saying Chris may be replaced by Justin Timberlake. Chris has NOT been arrested as of yet. But LAPD Officer April Harding has just said: "If police locate Brown, yes, he's subject to arrest." UPDATE (7:50p EST): The Recording Academy's official statement: "We have just been informed that Rihanna will not be attending tonight's 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards. We're sorry she is unable to join us this evening.' No confirmation from the Academy about Chris Brown, but the Grammy staff confirmed earlier he will not be attending. Being considered to replace him are Justin Timberlake and Al Green. ******************** O snap! Word just hit the Grammy Red Carpet and media sources around it that Chris Brown is being investigated for felony battery. There was an "incident" around 12:30a this morning with a female who was in his limo after they left the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party. Apparently he and an unnamed female--who everyone's speculating is his girlfriend pop star Rihanna--got into a heated argument in the limo and it escalated. She ended up having very visible injuries to her body and she has just filed charges. While Chris was definitely with Rihanna at the party, the female's name who filed the charges against Chris is being held in secret right now. Apparently that's the policy for felony battery issues. Cops involved in the case just said: "Any victim who's involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality." And since they're calling this a "domestic violence" charge, this leads folks to believe this could very well involve Rihanna. Damn. Ish just got real in Tinsletown. Interestingly, when Rihanna's reps were asked about her well being, their response was: "Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support." Very suspicious to say the least. Chris is set to perform tonight, but the head of the Grammys just announced during the pre-show he doesn't think Mr. Breezy will be hitting the stage. Or Rihanna either. It's rumored they've been replaced by Boyz II Men. Drama! STORY DEVELOPING...
