Angela Simmons is ready to get back in the dating game again, so she turns to her ex Romeo Miller.  We've got an exclusive sneak peek them discussing some interesting possibilities inside.

Angela said mama needs some vitamin D (or just a little company) too!

While they've certainly dated in the past, Angela's not sure if they should seriously date now. Or ever. So, in the meantime, Ange says on this week's "Growing Up Hip Hop" that she wants to set him up on a blind date. Oh, and she wants him to set her up on one too, because after being a single mom to little Sutton Jr. for a year, she's ready to dust off every cobweb.

As for how the blind double date goes - we hear it backfires.  Check out our exclusive sneak peek at tonight's episode above.

"GUHH" airs tonight at 9/8C on WEtv.

So about that double date Romeo & Angela Simmons promised each other....that ish didn't happen. Because he ghosted her. We've got the exclusive inside.

Oh Romeo. Young Miller realized he's still way more in his feelings about his kinda-ex Angela Simmons than he thought, because he straight up didn't show up to a planned date night.

On last week's episode of "Growing Up Hip Hop," Romeo and Angela said they would set each other up on a blind double date.  But when he drops out on tonight's episode, Angela wants all the smoke.  

 

"GUHH" airs Thursdays (tonight) at 9/8C on WEtv.

 

BONUS: Both seem to be unbothered and working on their fitness & relaxation in the best way today:

TheYBF.com was on the scene at the What Men Want screening in Washington, D.C. last night and we got the chance to chop it up with Hollywood baddie Taraji P. Henson. Find out what she told us about Jussie Smollett and more inside...

 

Today is the day! What Men Want hits theaters today. And trust us, it's laugh out loud funny.

Before the comedy takes over the box office, TheYBF.com was able to link up with the Oscar nominated actress on the red carpet during a screening in Washington, D.C.

Taraji's "Empire" co-star Jussie Smollett was hospitalizedafter a horrific homophobic and racist attack in Chicago. The entire "Empire" family was shocked and saddened by the news, however, they're all keeping postive vibes following the attack.

YBF correspondent Leah Henry chopped it up with the 48-year-old Hollywood starlet on the carpet and she addressed people questioning the authenticity of Jussie's story.

"You know, people are going to do that," she told TheYBF.com. "They are always going to question, but when you know your truth, you walk in that. That's what he has, his truth."

She said Jussie is a man of justice, he's resilent, and nothing is going to stop him from being great.

"He's going to rise above this because he has love in his heart, and love always wins," she said.

The New York Times bestselling author also shared what relationship advice she would give Cardi B about her rocky relationship with her estranged husband Offset, what her throwback club nights were like, and more. Peep our exclusive above.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, single lady Angela Simmons is talking self-love, and how to achieve it after a toxic relationship. She dishes on her own experience inside...

On tonight's episode of "Growing up Hip Hop," Angela Simmons heads to the Fearless Conference to chat up ladies about bouncing back from a toxic relationship.

She doesn't name names, but it does seem like she could possibly be speaking about her recent relationship with her late ex-fiancé and father of her 2-year-old son SJ, Sutton Tennyson.

She gave advice on how to spot toxicity - like your significant other isolating you from family and friends - and how to love yourself enough to leave before it's too late.

Check it:

"Growing Up Hip Hop" airs tonight on WeTV.

Earlier this week, more information about Sutton's November 2018 murder leaked. His autopsy results were released, and he was shot a reported 13 times. TMZ reports:

We knew Sutton Tennyson was shot multiple times back in November, but now his autopsy reveals the exact number of fatal shots was 13 ... to his chest, stomach, legs and arms. The Fulton County Medical Examiner says 3 of the shots did an "enormous amount of damage" to his heart ... piercing several chambers of the organ.

Other shots were lodged in Sutton's lungs, and pierced his stomach and spleen. Nine of the shots penetrated his body, and 4 only cut or grazed him.

Sutton was in his Atlanta home's driveway when he reportedly got into an argument with the now arrested suspect Michael Williams, who reportedly fired shots then fled in a car. He denies the claims.

Lil Mo has been cheated on by her husband Karl more than once, and last week she explained why she feels compelled to stay.This week, though, on "Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition," Karl apologized for that Facetime cheating foolishness he pulled right under Mo's nose.  Like, in the same house, same bedroom, with cameras rolling.  And he tried his damndest to claim he was talking to his sister.

During another session with the relationship counselors, Karl gives her the usual "I cheated but still want you" speech from the manual of cheating a** n***as, chapter 1.

Building your best life while NOT building a man, leveraging your resources (even the ones you need to pay dust to), the art of shooting your shot, perfect skin hacks and the best fried chicken in NYC.

 

Singer Justine Skye and Natasha chop it up about the important things in life on the latest episode of The YBF Podcast.

23-year-old singer Justine Skye kicked off this new year as the first celebrity guest of The YBF Podcast for 2019. And she didn't disappoint. Around the same time they were ringing in the new year, the effortlessly stunning Brooklyn babe trekked it to Samsung 837's podcast studio to chop it up with YBF Founder and Samsung Squad member Natasha.

The ladies talked DM slides, Justine's lessons on how to shoot your shot (and last time it worked for her), the real ish behind domestic violence (right before she bravely exposed her ex boyfriend, rapper Shek Wes, for alleged abuse), and they bonded over their love of the fried edible crack that is Bon Chon Chicken. Because, bomb.

Oh, and they breezed over a certain former celeb friendship of hers. And we mean breezed.

We learn quickly that Justine unapologetically focusing on things that really matter - like her own vibe, her own happiness - is the realest definition of success.

This "Bridezillas" episode has us cackling already.

As soon as this Brdezilla and her wiggery popped up at the ratchetry that is a local bar, we could tell she had no friends. Not even her bridesmaids wanted to come to the bachelorette party because, according to the Maid of Honor, "nobody wants to be around her."

But, is that her Maid of Honor's fault?  Maybe not, but the MOH is def wrong for asking completely random strangers off the street to come sip brown liquor and act like guests.

Yup, a bar Bachelorette bash turned into an all out fight with the MOH reading the friendless bride for filth.  But, who's more wrong?!

Here's a sneak peak at tomorrow night's (April 5th) episode:

Now why did this man go and piss off his bride like this?  She goes by the name "Sparkela" so he should have known what would fly and what wouldn't, strictly off the strength of her name.

After none of her bridesmaids showed up to her ratchet bar bachelorette party, Sparkela is furious when she finds out her own groom invited his ex-wife to the wedding. By the way, what's the theme of this wedding though? Because dude looks like he pulled up on a drive-thru Party City and we just can't.

But also, who goes to their ex-husband’s wedding across state lines?!

Traci has had it with her sister Tamar's sh--, and she threatens to fight her once again.  We've got an excluisve sneak peek at tonight's explosive "Braxton Family Values" finale inside.

This season of "Braxton Family Values" has been about the sisters trying to heal after a tumultuous last season and that epic family meltdown when Iyanla Vanzant tried to fix their lives. Tamar even reached out to Traci to ask her to open for her on her tour. She knows Traci still feels some kind of way about being left out of the Braxton singer sisters group when she got pregnant with her son back in the day, so this was supposed to be a peace offering of sorts.

All was fine and good, until it wasn't.

On last week's episode, Traci stormed out of the concert Tamar THOUGHT was going well. It was all downhill from there. On tonight's season finale, Traci threatens to fight her sister (again) and has a total meltdown causing the always unbothered Toni and producers to step in. Tamar says some people just want to stay mad decades later.

We've got the exclusive sneak peek below:

Traci has HAD it chile.  There's definitely more to this story. Tune in tonight for the "BFV" season finale on WEtv, 9/8c!

"Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta" newbie Drea Kelly is helping her co-stars channel their inner sex kitten by teaching them some new seductive dance moves. Peep the season premiere sneak peek inside...

 

"Growing Up Hip: Atlanta" has some new faces for the new season.

Drea Kelly - the ex-wife of embattled singer R. Kelly - and her three children are set to share their lives with the world.

After appearing on "Hollywood Exes," the dance choreographer will now be starring on the new season of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta." She'll be joining other new cast mates, including TLC singer T-Boz, rapper Waka Flocka, and his wife Tammy Rivera (they're securing those WETv checks aren't they?).

In our exclusive sneak peek, Drea Kelly rounds up Tammy Rivera and Waka's mom Deb Antney to coach them into learning how to embrace their bodies to channel their inner sex kitten with some seductive dance moves.

"I'm going to help you find what's sexy for you," Drea tells the ladies before busting out some sensual moves.

R. Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Kelly and his daughter BukuAbi opens up about the singer not paying child support on tonight's episode of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta." Peep our exclusive sneak peek inside...

A new episode of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta" airs tonight and viewers will get to see the affect of R. Kelly's antics on at least one of his three children.

Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Kelly and his daughter Buku Abi (born Joann Kelly) sit down for a heart-to-heart about the singer not coughing up the cash to pay his child support.

You'll recall, the Grammy Award winner turned himself in to police in March after a dispute over $160,000 in unpaid child. The whole sexual abuse scandal against Kelly is taking a toll on Buku and she shared how it's "unfair" that she's being bullied online due to her father's alleged sexual misconduct.

"I didn't ask to be here," Buku said while fighting back tears during a confessional.

 

Check it below:

According to recent reports, R. Kelly and Andrea's divorce files will be made public starting next week, a Cook County judge ruled. After more than five years under wraps, information about Kelly's pre-nuptial agreement and a request by the singer to reduce his support payments will be made public.

Also, a woman has come forward with claims that she was raped by multiple men at R. Kelly's former studio.

Last week, the Chicago Sun-Times reported a 31-year-old woman was taken to Rush Hospital after she made claims that two men sexually assaulted her inside Kelly's former studio. She said she was approached by the men at the bar, she shopped in the car with them, and was taken to the singer's former studio, where two men raped her.

Kelly vacated the building in February after a judge placed a curfew on the use of the premises. You'll recall, city attorneys said the studio was being used illegally as a living space and many building code violations that it was “too potentially dangerous to allow the tenant to use the building at all.”

Mariah Carey and Da Brat share a funny throwback story about how Jermaine Dupri almost got hemmed up back in the day. Check out our exclusive sneak peek at his upcoming “Power, Influence and Hip-Hop: The Remarkable Rise of So So Def" documentary inside...

 

WETv is premiering a special titled “Power, Influence and Hip-Hop: The Remarkable Rise of So So Def,” a one-hour documentary special that will focus on legendary producer Jermaine Dupri and his ability to shape Atlanta’s popular music culture via his So So Def Records.

Grammy Award winning singer Mariah Carey and rapper Da Bratt are longtime collaborators with JD, so you know they have tons of behind-the-scenes stories to share. In the upcoming documentary, Mariah and Brat shares how they first met and how their first meeting almost got JD hemmed up by MC's security detail. Oop!

Back in the day, Brat went with JD to Mariah's estate and when the ladies met, they instantly hit it off.

"It was more of an estate and I was kind of more of an inmate," Mariah shared. "The head of the record company was my husband. So, we were both on Sony at that time and nobody wanted him [her husband] to be mad at them."

Mariah said she felt like a prisoner because she was never allowed to have fun back then.

Eventually, MiMi and Brat ended up running off, drinking wine, sharing laughs, and eventually leaving the estate in one of Mariah's cars. However, they didn't tell anyone their whereabouts and that's when Mariah's security stepped in, looking for Mimi, and JD got caught in the crossfire.  This is back when Mariah was signed to Sony, headed up by her then huband, who she has often said kept her "imprisoned" at home and away from the masses.

Peep the sneak peek to find out what happened below: 

“Power, Influence and Hip-Hop: The Remarkable Rise of So So Def,” features never-before-seen archival footage and original interviews with Dupri’s peers, including Mariah Carey, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Will.I.Am, Da Brat, Bow Wow and Nelly. You can watch the full documentary when it airs tomorrow, July 18th at 10pm EST.

In the meantime, check out the trailer HERE.
