- Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:24:22 +0000: Gloria Govan DISHES on "BBW: LA" & Her Romance With Matt Barnes + NOW Halle Berry And Olivier Martinez ARE ENGAGED....FOR REAL! - The Young, Black, and Fabulous

Gloria Govan revealed mire about her "BBW: LA" drama and romance with Matt Barnes in a recent interview with web host Staci Harris. And guess who tagged along for the interview....MATT! Watch inside and get deets on new reports about Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez's engagement!
Gloria Govan recently stopped by Staci Harris' web show where she dished on "BBW:LA," the Kardashians (mainly going in on Kris Jenner), and her on and off again romance with Matt Barnes.
And guess who came to the interview with her......Mr. Matt Barnes! (The two are pictured above with the web show hosts.) Guess we were right when we speculated last week the two were getting back together.
At the (4:26) mark, Gloria is asked about what happened during/after the "BBW:LA" taping with her split from Matt and HE chimes in saying "she was still giving up the a$$." Classy.
Watch the interview here:
In other "couple" news......

Earlier, reports surfaced that Halle Berry want to move to France with her daughter and her "boyfriend." And people close to Halle originally shot down rumors they were engaged (rememeber this engagement news last month). Well apparently the emerald ring is still NOT an engagement ring, but they are indeed engaged, according to TMZ.
Though they have not announced it publicly, new sources are saying that Halle and Olivier did indeed get engaged after the first of this year.
The engagement would make sense as it would be weird to ask a judge to let you move your daughter away from her dad so you can shack up with your boyfriend in another country. Also, Halle has been receiving numerous death threats from stalkers and the move may indeed make her and Nahla safer.
This custody battle is a mess, but congrats to Halle and Olivier!

Former "Top Model" and "Celebrity Fit Club" contestant Tocarra was spotted in her jeans and polka dotted blouse shopping at Herve Leger and Wolford yesterday in L.A. And she has her ridiculously cute tiny pup in tow.



Toccara, who turns 31 next month, made a few guest appearances on TBS' "Are We There Yet?" last season. And she also hit the red carpet of the ESSENCE Black Women In Music event last night. Our only question is...does this chick have a sponsor? We're not mad though. Do you boo.

Also, Jaden will star in "Amulet" with Willow Smith while daddy hits the big screen in Men In Black 3. This family is on 100 right now in Hollywood.

TheYBF.com hit the black carpet at last night's ESSENCE Black Women In Music event in L.A. And the YBF celebs all had something to say about Beyonce's new post-Baby Blue bod. Check out what her former groupmate, LeToya Luckett, and plenty others expected from Queen Bey inside. Plus, Mama Tina is talking about Blue Ivy, who already has a trademark pending...
It was Kelly Rowland's big night as an ESSENCE Black Women In Music honoree. But that didn't stop Michelle Williams from gushing about both Kel and their other sister Beyonce. And LeToya and others had something to say as well. Apparently, we weren't the only ones in awe of Mrs. Knowles-Carter's debut this week.
"First of all, I already know, Bey stays in the gym and she's not gonna let none of THIS happen," LeToya dished to us on the carpet. "I know she done shook that weight already....so you gotta love her."
Michelle was excited for the hot new mom and her new bod saying, "Honey...she is fierce honey!" And about Baby Blue, "She is darling and absolutely amazing and so, so gorgeous."
Check out our exclusive red carpet chats with Michelle, LeToya, and more:
In other Baby Blue Ivy news, grandma Tina Knowles is loving every ounce of her. She told People mag at the Runway to Win fundraising reception this week:
"She's doing great. She's beautiful. It's the second best job I've ever had."
We're assuming being MOM to 2 successful daughters is first. Sweet!
And about that trademark rumor on Baby Blue's name--it seems to be true. The Washington Post reports The Carters filed a trademark with the federal government last month:
On Jan. 26, new parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the baby’s name — and reserve it for a future line of baby carriages, baby cosmetics, diaper bags and other undoubtedly fabulous accoutrements for the fashion-forward infant.
Get ready for House of Dereon Blue!

Theophilus London also attended.....in these jeans. These slits though...


Janelle Monae was literally showing out in her silky black blouse. And we're not mad! It's the sexiest look we've seen her do as she usually keeps to her buttoned up black and white ensembles. But it looks like somebody's ready to step it up a notch in this very deep V-neck top.


She also performed in her more conservative look.
Jessica White hit the scene in red and reminde dus turbans aren't for everybody:




Not really feeling the headpiece or the gown, but chick sure seemed confident striking a pose.

Designer Rachel Roy was also there in a neutral ensemble of a light tan gathered dress, black blazer, and nude pumps.
The black-tie gala was hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker and raised money for AIDS research, prevention and education.

What you want to know about Celebrities?
When someone searches for a celebrity’s name what exactly are they looking for? Searching for celebrity information is the most searched topic online. It overtakes our lives wanting to know about someone that we most likely will never meet. I mean look I pay over 100 a year just to write about people who make more in their sleep then I will in all my years. So why do we do it? It is simple, focusing on someone else’s life helps us forget about what is wrong in ours. It helps us escape the daily struggles we have. I hear a lot of people talking about what is happening to TI and Tiny and saying “Man if that was me,” or “Glad that is not me.” Our life is so much better when we can focus on what is happening to someone else. Maybe it is the nosy gene that we all have in common that calls for us to know every detail we can find. Taking a moment to look inside the life of another makes us happy. I mean dang, just before writing this I was talking with my roommate about Tiny and how this situation will effect her kids. My exact words were ” If that was me…” See right there I got to fulfill my human needs, stepping out of my troubles and focusing on another.
We feel so good just thinking about all the troubles that we do not have. But, should it be like this? Should we search for what is going wrong in a celebrity’s life or should we focus on what is going right? My personal belief is to focus on it all. It is good to see that even though Alicia Keys slept with a married man, she is stilling saving lives with her charity. See so now we can say, “Look at the home wrecker doing something right.” So to answer this simple question, “What you want to know about Celebrities?” The answer is everything. I want to know what they eat, what they wear, how they live, what drugs they take, what their kids look like, when did they last go to the bathroom, what they plan to eat. I want to know every step they take, and I know you do too. That is why you are visiting a celebrity news site. So tell me what is something you can live without knowing about a celebrity? Better yet what is something you can’t live without knowing?
Is it Okay to Date a Married Man?
Is it Okay to Date a Married Man?- I bet as soon as you saw this title you thought I loss my mind. But, really with all this news on Fantasia and Alicia Keys, I really want to know. Is 2010 the year for dating married men and hoping they pick you? Is it okay to break up a family then have the kid at the BET Awards with you, like everything cool? Read more
