Part Deux is here... Y'all already know Diddy Ciroc'd out the afterparty for the Notorious premiere last night.  The "gala" went down at Roseland Ballroom: Naturi was there of course. Faith and Angie Bassett kicked it outside. And Ice-T and his girl CoCo were in the mix too. More party pics and a few more from the premiere when you read the rest...

Jill Marie Jones and Tank celebrated their birthdays together at Area nightclub in West Hollywood this weekend.  JMJ turned 34 on the 4th while Tank turned 33 New Year's Day. Taraji P. Henson was there. And Teairra Mari and Pleasure P rolled through. More pics when you read the rest...

Former Danity Kane chick D. Woods was spotted partying it up in Miami this weekend: She's looking pretty fab these days.  Guess she's not letting her "No longer employed by Diddy" status get her down. And Vivica Fox was spotted at her NYE celebration in St. Croix, Virgin Islands: Looking surprisingly fab in her Herve Leger dress.  Nice look for Viv.  And not a good look for us trying to leave the HL madness in the '08. More pics of D. Woods when you read the rest...

Tyrese celebrated his 30th birthday this weekend at LA's Boulevard 3 with friends and family--his mom Priscilla and sister Shonta above came out to party too. New York was there looking like hot mess reincarnated. These birthday cakes are getting out of control.  And are we still throwing up "Westside" in '09? Pics of Barack seeing the future First Daughters off to school this morning have been released.  First Lady Michelle rode to school with the Sasha and Malia (they're at separate Sidwell Friends campuses) since dad had a few errands to take care of.  Errands meaning meeting with powerful congressman and world leaders. More pics of these folks when you read the rest...

Headliner Market Group brought in Solange Knowles and Jamie Foxx to host New Year's Eve at Karu & Y in the MIA this week.  And YBF celebs rolled through to party it up: Adored Solange's entire look--especially those Chanel basket woven booties (that I actually saw on the shelf and HATED, but they look hot on). Jamie celebrated his Intuition album release. Damn Meagan....you going Angel Lola Luv on us? Who put Sheree on the guest list and who bought that Chanel bag for her?  Both people are fired. Young Jeezy hit the carpet too. More pics when you read the rest...

Well it was party central in St. Barts for some of our fave couples. The Carters, The Cannons, and The Reids all hit up a party spot to ring in the new year together. And it looked like fab times for everyone: Beyonce and Jay got their cute dancing couple on: Hope B handled her liquor this time around. But don't we love it when she doesn't? More pics of the couples when you read the rest...

Yes, it took me all day to recuperate from last night.  So we're just now getting this ball rolling.  Station 9 was poppin' last night here in DC--loves all the YBF fans I met there to ring in the new year.  And shout out to promoter Nate Enzo for the the infinite amount of "beverages" and royal treatment and my girl YBF chick Angie Ange of WKYS for holding it down for me and my crew.  On to the celebs.... Usher and Tameka welcomed in the New Year at Sin City’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve celebration at The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio. Usher and entourage kicked it at their VIP tables and apparently had to have security keep the hourdes of screeching female fans at bay. This was one of their first night out together since the birth of their second child only three short weeks ago. The two celebrated Meka's birthday beforehand at Fix Restaurant & Bar with 25 of their closest friends. Sigh. They decided to have a Louis Vuitton 2 tiered cake. It's '09 so I'm going to just say this ish because it must come to an end this year: STOP WITH THE DAMN LOUIS VUITTON DON/DON DIVA STATUSES! This ish is played and is just tacky. And trust--Louis V. is NOT reppin' for black folks the way we're reppin' for that "brand". Do better. And no, I don't care who gets mad. Moving on... Kim, Reggie, Dame, Boogie, Johny Legend, and Luda all rang in the New Year in Vegas and NY. More pics of these folks when you read the rest...
