Justin Combs Sweet 16 Birthday Bash!



Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ eldest biological son Justin Dior Combs had his huge and lavish Sweet 16 birthday bash last night at M2 Ultra Lounge in NYC. Diddy and mom Misa Hylton hosted the “Prince of New York” themed party as the MTV “Super Sweet 16″ cameras rolled.

His brothers Christian Casey Combs, Quincy, grandma Janice and others were all there. Long time friends of his family like Lil Kim, the Simmons kids, Fabolous, DJ Clue, BJ Coleman, Jim Jones and his son, and lots of others were there as well.



Nicki Minaj was is date for the event, she also performed as well as Trey Songz, Fabolous, the Bird Gang, and Teyana Taylor! Fun times..




Justin didn't ask for any presents just donations to Yele Haiti. His father gave him a $10,000 and instead of keeping it he gave to the cause. Now thats a good son!

Trina Set To Adopt A Child From Haiti



Trina’s publicist sent TheYBF.com the rap diva’s exclusive statement on this matter:

“With the current state that Haiti is in right now, I personally feel like donating monetary and physical possessions is an enormous and vast donation; however, I would like to contribute on a higher level for more personal reasons like being ready to raise/nurture a child and by being involved on a day to day basis,” Trina states.

“The tragic and untimely list of events that have happened in Haiti–even before the recent “Earthquake”–have made me realize how blessed I am as an individual. I want to share that with a child who is a victim in this disturbing time, in addition to adding on to my immediate family circle.”

“I am in the financial position to adopt, therefore, I am taking it into deep consideration at this time. I have always admired other individuals for adopting children not so much for their celebrity status, but more so because of the nurturing and invaluable change and joy it will bring to a child’s life.”

“Lastly, the fact that I am considering adopting a child from Haiti is even more significant to me because a great deal of adopted children come into the United States from larger countries–like China, Russia and African countries. I also have family members that are of Haitian descent.”

GOOD FOR HER!

Help The People Out In Haiti!



The following is a statement that was sent to GlobalGrind from Wyclef Jean in the wake of the horrible 7.0 hurricane that struck Haiti on Tuesday night:

-------

Haiti faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced.

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.

I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.

President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can visit www.Yele.org and click on DONATE.
