EXCLUSIVE: Inside NY Knick Tyson Chandler & Wife Kimberly’s 2012 Met Ball Prep!
May 10th
NY Knicks baller Tyson Chandler (and his wife of 7 years) is the only sports figure who landed on VOGUE’s Best Dressed list for the 2012 Met Ball–which celebrated the new exhibit “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations”–that went down Monday night. And we’ve got the exclusive pics of the handsome Mr. Chandler getting dressed with his fab wife Kimberly (and daughter Sascha) before the big Ball. Check ‘em inside…
Well here’s a fresh and fab couple we don’t see everyday on YBF. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when celebs are getting ready for a huge night out (we know we have), here’s an exclusive peek at 29-year-old baller Tyson Chandler and his wife Kimberly having some fun Monday evening.
The cutesy couple fixed each other’s clothes in their hotel suite, played around with their 6 year old daughter Sascha, and stepped out looking fabulous:
Tyson was dressed in a custom blue Waraire Boswell suit. While his wife, Kimberly, donned a look that Ms. Anna Wintour herself chose for her–a red Valentino rosette detailed strapless jumper. And a cute pair of bow detailed black slingback Louboutins.
How cute is this little one!
The couples’ fashion choices landed both of them–separately–on VOGUE’s Best Dressed List.
By the way, Tyson copped the NBA’s 2012 Defensive Player of The Year award. And he donated the Khia SUV he won to Russell Simmons’ foundation Art For Life–which benefits Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation that provides inner-city students with visual arts education programs, and gives emerging artists exhibition opportunities.
Congrats to him!

Jill Scott ROLE PLAYS IT UP For VH1 “Storytellers” Taping
May 10th
Before she wore this outfit to her afterparty, Jill Scott shut it down for her VH1 "Storytellers" taping at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Check out a few pics and what to expect from Jilly from Philly’s intimate performance…
The powerhouse singer, who is now a mom of one, reminded the whole room of why she doesn’t need the flashing lights and choreographed dance moves and theatrics to put on a performance. Last night, Jill Scott ran through her best songs from her catalog and explained the meaning and purpose of each one, as every artist does for their "Storytellers" show.
Jilly changed her wardrobe to dress the part of each song she performed–a red wig with bamboo earrings and ripped up jeans for "Getting in the Way," a sexy wife in a gorgeous gown for "He Loves Me," a fun loving look for "Golden," and more. She broke down the lyrics to each song, including "Is It The Way," "Crown Royal," "Come See Me"…and even showcased her opera skills while singing one of the tracks in Italian.
The "Blessed" singer also answer questions from the audience. The craziest one was the answer to where the strangest place was that she found inspiration for a song? "On the toilet….a song about letting go." Oh!
Jilly was spotted at the afterparty at Ink 48 with celeb supporter Janelle Monae. Jill’s "Storytellers" premieres May 21st at 9PM ET/PT on VH1.

Pics inside…
Can’t say this chick doesn’t know how to sell sex…effortlessly. In a photo shoot a few months ago with Terry Richardson, Rihanna did a few fun shots where she was far from shy about showing her ass cheeks, big smile and mile-long gams for the camera. Seriously doubt these will have any place in her Vita CoCo Water campaign, but consider them a gift from the pop gods:
She tried on Terry’s staple glasses for a shot and posed in a sexy shot with the photog himself. Oh that Ri Ri….
