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...

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.

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...

As the celebs hit the red carpet right now at tonight's Grammy Awards, check out the parties they hit up last night: Sanaa Lathan was spotted looking gorgeous in green at the House of Hype party. Eva and Lance hit up the New Era party. Celebs came out to Lil Wayne's Grammy celebration.  Looks like a lot of hot breath up in that piece with Flav around there. And Tracee Ellis Ross hit up the NAACP Image Awards.  Looking fab as usual. More pics when you read the rest...

Even though the cast wasn't supposed to be announced until tonight, sources have found out who are the next stars to dance with...the stars. In the upcoming season number...whatever...of Dancing With The Stars--Lil Kim, David Allen Grier, and NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor will all be putting on their dancing shoes. The rest of the competition is Denise Richards, Nancy O'Dell, Chuck Wicks, Steve O, Ty Murray, Gilles Marini, Jewel, Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go's, Steve Wozniak of Apple, and Olympic Gold Medalist Gymnast Shawn Johnson. And dammit, I'm pulling for Kim on this one...
50 Cent is continuing his foolywangery of video attacks against officer Ricky Ross. And this time he's donning a wig that supposedly looked like Ricky back in the day and saying he's Pimpin' Curly:
Straight reckless. And this dude is not slick at all. He knows how to pimp stuff (and people) to make his ass some change... Meanwhile, Ricky's baby moms Tia is still going around yapping her mouth telling her tales to sell some more of her upcoming books:
What some chicks will do for a fur, Gucci shoes, and 20 minutes of fame. Damn shame. More when you read the rest...

And the party pics continue.  Y'all know these people never stop. T.I., his lady Tiny, and lots of other celebs hit up the Verizon and Blackberry Pre-Grammy party this weekend. Soulja Boy donned Keri Hilson with his ridiculous chain. Cassie and Lauren London kicked it with their girls at the party. Rihanna performed and kicked it with 'Ye. And over in St. Maarten,  Gabby partied it up at a club opening.  Surprise surprise. In back in LA, Tatyana Ali celebrated her 30th b-day at Zune LA. More pics from these parties when you read the rest...

The star-uhs were out all last night pre-partying before tonight's Grammy Awards.  And the A-List was in full effect at Clive Davis' annual Pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton for anyone who's anyone in the industry.  Jennifer Hudson was there of course and performed.  Looking fabulous. Mama Whitney hit the stage for another comeback performance. Rihanna looked sleek in her Gucci Spring '09 Maxi Dress.  Beautiful gown.  Not loving the makeup this time around. But obviously her man didn't mind it.  They were in their own little world all night. I would have paid money to hear this dinner table convo between Russell, and preggers Kimora, and Daddy-to-be Djimon. Tons more pics when you read the rest...
