HE'S OUT: Yandy Smith Welcomes Her Baby's Father Mandeecees Home From Jail...On A $600K Bond

"Love & Hip Hop" star Yandy Smith is screaming 'Daddy's Home!' to anyone who will listen.  Because her baby's father Mandeecees Harris just got freed from lock up.  Check out the twosome boo'd up fresh out of county jail and deets on his $600K bond inside...

After Mandeecees was sent to Yates County Jail (right outside of Rochester) January 2013, Yandy is celebrating her April Fool's Day with a very real dream come true--her baby's father is home.
While the VH1 cameras (you already KNOW they were front and center) waiting outside of the Yates County Jail, USA Today reports that U.S. District Judge Frank Geraci Jr. agreed to release Mandeecees on a $600,000 bond, $200,000 of which Yandy agreed to put up.
In case you forgot why Mandeecees was hemmed up in the county jail:
Mandeecees was taken into federal custody last year after authorities seized millions of dollars in cash and jewelry from the 35-year-old reality star and his alleged cohorts
Tyrus Harris (his brother) and Ronald “Kellz” Walker. 
Walker, who was said to have arranged for the distribution of 40 kilos of cocaine and a single kilo of heroin through New York City, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges and money laundering last August, and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. 
Mandeecees’ brother Tyrus pleaded guilty before Judge Geraci on Monday, and he faces a prison sentence of about five to seven years.
And even though most figured Mandeecees would face the same fate as Kellz and Tyrus, he may not since he's actually being released.  Whether rumors of snitching will pop up...time will tell.  He will have to face the judge during future court dates.

But right now, Mandeecees is only concerned about his girl (who often went out of her way to hold her man down and attempt to clear his name) and partying:

After getting scooped up by Yandy and co., Mandeecees took to IG and said, "I need a drink now!! Where we @2night?!!! Bro @mr_camron wassup @vado_mh I see u.."

SPOTTED: Beyonce & Jay Z Make A Stop At Historic Anne Frank Museum In Amsterdam!!!!

With The Mrs. Carter World Tour trekking across the world, Beyoncé & Jay Z took the opportunity to take in the culture of Amsterdam by visiting the Anne Frank Museum. Check the pics and deets inside…

Beyoncé is expected to hit the stage tonight at the Ziggo Dome in Holland, Amsterdam. But before she slays the stage, Queen Bey and hubby Jay Z were impressed with a history lesson as they made a stop at the historic Anne Frank Museum, which is the house Anne Frank hid from Nazi persecution.

View image on Twitter

The Carters have been enjoying many main attractions in their down time during their travels, including taking their daughter Blue Ivy to the Phoenix Park Visitors Centre's playground in Dublin.

Known for being interested in other countries' cultures, it's no surprise the couple stopped by the notable museum. Bey even took a moment (shown above) to write in Anne Frank’s visitors book.

Wonder what she wrote...

Tomorrow, the Carters travel to Belgium so the Mrs. can rock the stage at the Sportspaleis Arena.

REPORT: Karrueche Tran ALLEGEDLY Dumped Chris Brown Because He Was TEXTING Other Chicks!!!

Sources close to Karrueche Tran are speaking about her breakup with Chris Brown...and they do not blame Rihanna.  Find out why KT walked away inside...

As Chris Brown sits alone in a jail cell, friends of Karrueche Tran are speaking about the couples' breakup and spilling the deets about what FINALLY made her leave him.  Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with Rihanna's alleged secret trip to visit him in rehab.

Sources told TMZ that Karrueche visited Chris last month and saw some inappropriate texts from other girls on his phone. That was her breaking point.

Of all the things we've learned about Breezy over the past few years, you'd think she would have walked away long BEFORE she read some dirty texts.

Show of hands...who thinks she'll be back in Chris' bed within 6 months?

By the way, shortly after their breakup, Chris allegedly hooked up with a woman at the rehab facility.

Now THAT'S A Spring Break: First Lady Michelle, Sasha & Malia Obama Make MAJOR Arrival Into China!

When you want to build a bridge between two countries, let the ladies handle it!  First Lady Michelle Obama and the fab First Daughters made their major arrival into China yesterday for their week-long visit that will be centered around all things education and community.  They are meeting with China's First LadyPeng Liyuan, and will focus on developing a better relationship between the U.S. and China.


See our gorge First Family kicking off their big trip inside...

Here's one way to spend Spring Break.  While plenty of kiddies their age are sending the week watching tv, sleeping in and maybe hitting a beach, Sasha & Malia Obama are flying on Air Force 1 all the way to China!

 photo mobama3_zps60009fd3.jpg

The Obama women, as well as First Granny Marian Robinson, were spotted hopping off of the Presidential air craft in Beijing on Thursday to meet with the wife of China's President Xi Jinping.

The ladies are scheduled to visit plenty of schools, universities, and participate in discussions and events with Peng Liyuan, who is also regarded as a super stylish First Lady.

Bringing the whole family along was also a strategic move and show of support of traditional family culture.  In China, and in much of South-East Asian countries, families have multi-generational households and grandparents are seen as secondary care providers, much like Mrs. Robinson has been in the White House.

FLOTUS' chief of staff Tina Tchen said in a press release, "I think they understand the significance as well of family and of three generations of family traveling together, which I think the Chinese will appreciate, and will appreciate the ties and the bonds that the Obama family have with one another across generations,’

FLOTUS was spotted greeting Max Baucus, the US' new ambassador to China, as everyone hopped off the plane.

And it seems like President Obama is missing his fave women.  He said to NBC News yesterday, "Michelle and the girls are on their way to China, it's very lonely at home."

Awww!

Jhené Aiko Sexes Up COMPLEX, Dishes On Sharing Daughter With Omarion’s Little Brother O’Ryan + More

 photo JheneAiko-Complex1.jpg

Newcomer Jhené Aiko graces the cover of Complex magazine’s latest issue where she opens up about her daughter, her singing career and the passing of her brother. Find out what you may have not known about the newest singer/songwriter who loves a good bikini/monokini on the music scene when you go inside…

Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jhené Aiko lands on the cover of the April/May issue of Complex. Fashion photographer Marcus Hyde shot the Complex shoot on the beach in Negril, Jamaica.

The 25-year-old singer (who celebrates a birthday on March 16th) is currently overseas with Drake performing their hit “From Time” and a few other songs she helps him out on.
Jhené, who has a sound that gives us Cassie tease, dropped her first mixtape Sailing Souls in 2011 then released an EP last year titled Sail Out. Ahd she's now gearing up for the release of her first studio album Souled Out.

In the interview, Jhené (whose real name is Efuru Chilombo) revealed her mother is Japanese, Spanish, and Dominican while her father is an African-American, Native-American, German Jewish man.

The songstress, who counts Karrueche Tran and Rihanna as good friends (interestingly enough), talked about landing a deal with Epic Records when she was 12, then leaving the music industry to finish school. (Remember her?!)
“I was in high school,” Jhené recalls, “and there was a new label boss who wasn’t well versed in who I was or my music. I was just like, ‘You know what? I want to get released.’ ”
She eventually linked up with Def Jam exec/producer No I.D. and was signed as the first artist to his Artium imprint.

Jhené also opened up about her personal life. She revealed at the age of 20, she had a baby girl with Omarion’s little brother, O’Ryan. She named her Namiko Love which means “child of the wave” after reading a book by the Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh.

“There’s no such thing as birth and death because the wave cannot die; it’s all water. Things manifest when the conditions are right, and they don’t manifest when they’re not right. But there are no ends, no beginnings, just continuation.”
And she opened up about the death of her brother whom she lost two years ago after he lost his battle with brain cancer:
“When he first found out he had cancer he got into Buddhism,” Jhené says. “I had started getting into Buddhism when I was 15. We were super close, almost like twins. We would get high and have these talks, like, ‘What is life?’”
“He would see friends and they would see that he was walking a little different or had lost weight but he would never tell them, ‘Oh, I’m sick.’” Jhené put her feelings into the song “For My Brother.” He first heard it the day he passed away.
Jhené got the rising sun on her shoulder to represent her brother. “Waves of sadness crashing against shores of unsureness,” she sang for him. “So hard for me to understand when doctors they cannot cure this.”
 

SPEAK ON IT: Tina Campbell Taking "Full Responsibility" For Her Cheating Husband?!

With season 3 of "Mary Mary" off to a great start, the infidelity that Tina Campbell confronts has emerged as one of the show's most intriguing storylines.  Find out why she takes "responsibility" for her husband stepping out of the marriage and speak on whether you agree or disagree.

During a high-profile EBONY cover story a few months ago, we first learned about gospel singer Tina Campbell attempting to stab her husband, Teddy Campbell, for stepping outside of their marriage.  Now, on the current season of the "Mary Mary" reality series, fans and viewers get to see how the couple dealt with the issue.  What may shock some viewers is that Tina appears to take "responsibility" for her husband's cheating....or at least her part in it.  Before you get ready to go to war on this with your feminist (and common sense) hat on (we are TOTALLY ready ourselves), check out her full comment.
During an interview with CNikky, Tina had this to say:
On taking "responsiblity" for her husband's cheating:
“I, Tina, assume full responsibility for the issues that I contributed to the relationship. I was controlling, talked too much. And you can never be heard over me because when I wanna talk I got the floor and ain’t nobody gonna get it from me until I give it up. Real talk. That was the way it was and I have to work on myself. You know what I mean? I was selfish. When we started having children it’s like, I forget that I have a responsibility as a wife. And I’m questioning you like, ‘Really, what you want me to do? I gotta baby!’
On making her man feel "small":
Even though that’s sometimes what you’re faced with, that ain’t the right spirit to do it in. And what happens is, you’re going on and you’re busy and you’ve got children and you’ve got work. And what happens is your husband is last and you don’t realize that he’s last. And if he has a problem with being last you’re like,’Well, what am I supposed to do? You know that I’ve got a career? You know that I’ve got these babies, you’re the one that got me pregnant!’ You want your husband to be the man and to take his place, but because ‘I’m a strong woman, I’m a this woman and I’m a that woman’ we busy stepping on our man. Making him feel small. And you know what? I did that. And I take responsibility for that.

Do you agree that the both persons are responsible when one cheats?  Should each person in the relationship consider whether their own actions led to cheating (not just a breakdown) in the relationship?  We have our thoughts....and while both people are always responsible for communicating and how their actions contribute to the breakdown or success of a relationship, we can never co-sign on a woman causing a man to CHEAT, or vice versa.  Adults who respect each other choose to talk it out or move on from the relationship, not act with disrespect.
But, we want to hear your opinion.

Christina, Karrueche and Tiny (wrapped in her waist cincher) got dressed in their workout gear and twerked off those calories last night.  Maybe Tiny's trying to get some new moves for her husband T.I....since they seems to be on the rocks as of late.

Karrueche admitted to being shy at first but it looks like she eventually got the hang of...some of it.

Did Tip approve of this Tiny? We wouldn’t want him blasting you publicly about you flaunting your “ass”ets again on Instagram.
Fun times.
