For the first time in the publication's history Sports Illustrated will have three different covers for it's annual Swimsuit Edition.

Ashley Graham, Ronda Rousey and Hailey Clauson received the news that they had been chosen during "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 Revealed" special on TNT as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend on Saturday, February 13.

"Every single woman that is booked for this magazine is cover worthy," said Assistant Managing Editor MJ Day. "The collective beauty in the magazine is overwhelming. SI has always been and will always be about the models; the pictures you see here are a celebration of them.

"The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit. All three women are beautiful, sexy and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. Beauty is not 'one size fits all.' Beauty is all around us and that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this year's issue." 

The issue hits newsstands next week. In the meantime you can check out the covers and a few additional photos below.

Compton, California Mayor Aja Brown believes a key to her city is better than one to Toronto. At least that's what it sounded like when she gave the honor to hometown rapper, Kendrick Lamar, on Saturday, February 13, one day after Drake received his from Toronto Mayor John Tory.

"I can just give you guys a hint before you see it that it's better than Drake's key," Brown said during the ceremony.

Kanye West is the musical guest tonight on Saturday Night Live, but just prior to taking the stage he dropped a bombshell on Twitter.

He started out by talking about Paul the Apostle.

"Paul ... The most powerful messenger of the first century... Now we stand here 20 centuries later... Because he was a traveler," West wrote. "He was a learned man not of the original sect so he was able to take the message to the rest of the world. He was saved from persecution due to his Roman citizenship... I have the right to speak my voice."

The G.O.O.D. Music CEO then tweeted that he is swimming in debt.

"I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt," he continued. "Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart."

It's well known that West has been funding his fashion line primarily by himself. That might explain the revelation.

According to a report by the New York Post's Page Six earlier this week, he has reached out to several potential investors recently seeking $100 million in backing.

“Kanye is spending a lot of money," a source told Page Six. "He thinks on a big scale and is currently paying for everything himself. He needs a backer to help him achieve the kind of fashion-world domination he is aiming for.”

With Valentine's Day coming up DJ Smallz sat down with VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: New York" cast member and singer, Jhonni Blaze, to find out what is acceptable and what's not on the day of romance.

"Don't be bringing me no damn chocolate and you know I just went to the lipo people in Miami. Don't be doing that to me, just disgusting," she said. "Flowers I like ... I think flowers are very nice. Don't be thinking you can do no extra stuff sexually to me. If we ain't do it before we ain't doing it now ... maybe, if you nice. Don't be trying to add in an extra girl to spice up the relationship and I don't know who the girl is. Nah, boo boo, none of that. I mean it's Valentine's Day. It's love. Just don't do no extra stuff. Don't give me no chocolate."

Following Beyonce's performance at Super Bowl 50, Tomi Lahren, a TV host for The Blaze lit into the singer for saluting the Black Panther Party. Lahren was also critical of the Black Lives Matter movement and said Beyonce should be worried more about her husband Jay Z's alleged past as a drug dealer.

“Beyonce, really? What is the political message here? What is it they are trying to convey here? A salute to what? A group that used violence and intimidation to advance, not racial equality but an overthrow of white domination,” Lahren said. “Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years he sold crack cocaine. Talk about protecting black neighborhoods – start at home, right?”

Tomi Lahren

Since that segment aired, Lahren, claims she's been besieged by hateful comments and threats directed at her and her family by Beyonce fans.
