Amber Rose Covers VIBE Magazine's 2011 June/July Sexy Issue & Talks About Kanye And Reggie Bush

Amber Rose covers the "sexy" issue of 2011 June/July VIBE Magazine and during the mag's interview with the model, she opens up about what she learned from Kanye West and on rebounding with Reggie Bush. Get the deets inside.....
So what happens when you break-up with one of the world's most photographed and talked about hip-hop rappers?  Who do you run to when you need love?  How does a girl from the wrong side of the tracks become an icon?
These questions and more are answered in next month's June/July 2011 "Sexy" issue of VIBE Magazine by Amber Rose.  Check out highlights below.

AMBER ON LIFE POST-KANYE:

“What am I supposed to do? Crawl up in a corner and die ‘cause I’m not with Kanye anymore? Am I supposed to go back to the strip club and not take these opportunities that I have?”

AMBER OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH REGGIE BUSH:

“Me and Reggie [Bush] dated very briefly after Kanye…We were both each other’s rebound and we both knew that and were cool with that.”



AMBER ON WHY HER STORY IS RELATABLE:

“I don’t have rich parents and it’s a struggle. I can’t just call my dad and be like, ‘Dad, my money is a little messed up. Can you buy me a car or a house? It’s not like that for me. I feel like more people will relate to my story than the Kardashians or the Hiltons.”

AMBER ON BEING ICONIC:

“Kanye would always tell be how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ‘Baby, you are iconic. You don’t understand what you have.’ I didn’t. I didn’t understand it.”

Rick Ross is covering the other June/July issue of VIBE.  His cover is here in case you missed it.

Manchester United 2011-2012 Jersey

Inspired by the traditional red, white and black, Manchester United will play in a newly designed home kit for the 2011/2012 soccer season. Designed to maximize performance and minimize environmental impact with Nike’s groundbreaking recycled polyester, the new shirt is made with a necessary sweat-wicking fabric. The shirt is lighter than ever with a contoured body shape that allows for fluid movement. The body of the shirt is traditional red with a white crafted crew neck collar with a central black stripe to replicate the design of the club’s iconic bar scarf. The bar aesthetic has previously appeared on the shirts of legendary United sides of the past, including the 1977 and 1985 FA Cup winners, and on the back of the 2008 Champions League and Barclays Premier League winners.

Model Nyasha Matonhodze Nabs Louis Vuitton Campaign

Who's Nyasha Matonhodze? A YBF chick who is burning up the catwalks of the fashion industry.  And she's only 16.  Find out about this fresh face, and what major luxury campaign she just landed inside...

Hailing from Zimbabwe, Nyasha Matonhodze, a British-raised sixteen-year-old, has been chosen as one of the new faces of Louis Vuitton, and stars in the company's fall/winter advertising campaign.
With credits in Teen Vogue and Harper's Bazaar to her name, Nyasha is making a big name for herself on the runway.  So how does she feel about the campaign and all the attention lavished on her?  She told The Telegraph,

"My eyes filled up with tears and I thought 'Lord you are lucky!' It didn't actually hit me until I was sat in a Rolls Royce sitting eye-to-eye with [famed fashion photographer Stephen] Meisel."

But she admits the industry can be brutal.  She told The Cut,

"If you're not strong-minded, modeling can knock your confidence quite harshly. Every day you're judged on your look, and more so today you're judged on your personality. With that said, a lot of us are 15 or 16 years old, so some girls could really take the criticism personally. What we have to understand is that there's not something wrong with us per se, we just aren't a right fit with the client."

Beautiful.

Lil Wayne's Mystery Boo REVEALED! Meet "Dhea"....

Ever since THESE PICS and THESE PICS of Lil Wayne toting this new mystery chick around Miami hit the net, folks have had lots to say.  But we may have gotten to the bottom of who Weezy's mystery lady is, thanks to our homies over at Complex.

Tunechi's lady revealed inside....

The folks at Complex got a Twitter tip stating that homegirl's name is Dhea...and she's from Scottsdale, Arizona.  Her name is "Dhea" and she works (or worked) in some capacity at a sexy nightclub (which is also a restuarant and lounge) in Scottsdale.  She also says (according to her facebook page) that she lives in Scottsdale, but she's from Taranto, Italy.
We're wondering if Wayne met her while she was doing her...duties...at the nightclub/restaurant she works at (according to her Facebook page).  Weezy has made some concert stops over in AZ.
Dhea and at least one of her girls--who also appears to work at the nightclub/restaurant--put their last name as their workplace--Suede.  Interesting.
Either makeup does wonders or these pics were taken a while ago:

She's on the far left in both pics.  Well, now you know....

HAPPY 36TH BIRTHDAY LAURYN HILL!

Yesterday, Lauryn Hill celebrated her 36th birthday and The YBF would like to salute her with 36 candles as we reminisce about the icon's fashions and how her music touched our lives inside....

For millions of people, Lauryn Hill's iconic album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was just that disc.  Whether she was singing about the birth of her kiddie Zion, breaking up on "Ex-Factor" or the basement love groove "Nothing Even Matters" with D'Angelo, the disc struck a cord with millions of fans around the globe and expanded the reach of hip-hop.
She was a woman in the hip-hop game who wrote, produced and arranged, and became a symbol of strength for many women.  She's been slow to release new music thanks to her having babies and doing her own thing.  But she's back with concert shows, and she's been recently added to the "Rock The Bells" tour.  We love her crazy ass outfits, ridiculously relatable songs, that voice, and everything in between.
Happy 36th birthday Lauryn!

Lil Wayne Brings His New Mystery Boo & Drake Courtside To Heat Game

Lil Wayne and his checkered socks kicked it courtside at the Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals game last night where they beat out the Bulls in overtime. (Boooo!)  Weezy had his arm around his mystery beach chick during the game....so I guess he's proud to show...this...off.

Pics of Weezy, Drake, Heat girlfriends and more at the game when you read on...

The fellas kicked it at the Miami AA arena.

Chad Johnson watched the game too.  No Evelyn in site.

Heat moms Gloria James and Jolinda Wade cheered on their sons from the sidelines.

And Lebron's girlfriend Savannah tweeted herself getting prettied up before the game:

And Serena Williams looked fab kicking it with Chris Bosh's fiance' Adrienne Williams and Scottie Pippen's wife Larsa. Fab times.

Lil Wayne BOO'D UP With Mystery Chick On Miami Beach!

Well LOOKY here.  Lil Wayne was caught on Miami Beach holding hands and extra close to this mystery chick, i.e. his new baby mama candidate.  I guess her application was great on paper....cuz this is a pairing we DIDN'T see coming.

Pics of the two smitten with the sand, sun, and each other when you read on...

Fresh off the heels of his Billboard Music Awards performance with MJB this past Sunday in Vegas, Weezy skipped down to his home of Miami to chill for a bit.  Last month, he denied dating his stylist Marissa Torres.  But he had some other company with him on the beach today:

I've got MANY questions.  But I'll leave that to y'all.

Do you "single" Weezy.  Let's just try to use a condom this time...
