Kimora Lee & The Girls Shop It Up In Cali

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 06:02 AM PDT

Kimora Lee just wrapped up filming for another season of her reality show "Life In The Fab Lane". She and the girls, Aoki and Ming Lee, spent the last day shopping it up in Brentwood, CA.

Pics of the fab chicks when you read on...

Love the girls' outfits!

And Kimora's looking fabulous these days. What better way to end a day of filming than shopping it up. Can't wait to see the new season.

WEEKEND FOOLERY: Antoine Dodson Is A "Project Millionaire"!

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 02:22 AM PDT

It's the reigning king of Youtubery again. Does Antoine Dodson's "Project Millionaire" milkshake bring all the boys to the yard?

Pics of him serving up his new signature drink in L.A. when you read on...

Antoine and actress Kali Hawk (remember Faison Love's girlfriend in Couples Retreat?) were hanging out yesterday in L.A. And they stopped by Millions of Milkshakes to join the rank of celeb milkshake namesakes to mix up and serve their own signature milkshake called "Project Millionaire". Sigh.

These pics are many many things...

I just wonder if his autotuned version of his "Bed Intruder" track was playing in the background during the photo ops. Gotta love the semi-come ups....

ON THE SET: Fantasia Shoots "I'm Doin' Me" Vid In NYC

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:39 PM PDT

Fantasia is keepin' it moving in her life and career these days after all her recent drama. She just shot her brand new video in NYC for her single "I'm Doin' Me" off her Back To Me album.

Flicks from the set when you read on...

Fanny tapped seasoned director Benny Boom to help her out with the colorful video. In it, she's declaring her freedom from an ex-boyfriend...or she may leave the audience wondering if she actually did. Oh how art imitates life....

I actually really like this dress. Was going back and forth about it at first, but there's something cute and fun about it.

Anyways, the vid premieres November 1st on VEVO, just days before the launch of her Back To Me tour in Norfolk, VA on November 5th.

MOVIE FAB: Gabby Sidibe Joins Eddie Murphy In New Comedy+Oprah Winfrey's Got A New Flick

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 01:40 PM PDT

YBF chick Gabby Sidibe has been added to the cast of a new comedy flick starring Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. Find out details about Gabby's latest role inside plus what Oprah Winfrey will be doing with the director of HBO's "Sex And The City"...

Oscar nominated actress Gabby Sidibe joins the cast of a new action comedy, Tower Heist! The movie has a hot cast of seasoned comedic actors Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller and Alan Alda.

Gabby will play a worker in a luxury high-rise who discovers her pension fund has been emptied out by a white collar crook. This will be Gabby's first major film role since starring in the Oscar-nominated movie Precious. The flick Tower Heist! begins filming in New York next month and has a November 4, 2011 release date. I've been saying Gabby needs to land a comedy role. She's indeed gonna rock it.

And will Oprah be the next Carrie Bradshaw?

The talk show empire queen joins the cast of a Universal Pictures untitled comedy that will be written and directed by Michael Patrick King and star Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock and Oprah Winfrey. It's an ensemble comedy set in the world of a Home Shopping-type network, where characters make their way through the maze of mania that surrounds marketing, marriages and the media. Michael, who wrote and directed two Sex and the City films after he executive produced the HBO series, said:

"I came up with the idea of writing for Meryl, Sandy and Oprah, and it became so specific to them that I wanted to be sure I had interest from these ladies. I put it in front of each of them and they all said yes. To have access to these women, tell them this story and hear yes was almost like a Greek mythological journey, with me going from one goddess to the next. It was humbling. They're all unique, and the idea of writing parts that three strong women will play is such a challenge. Their body of work is beyond reproach. It's also appealing to craft a character for Oprah to come back and play that's not Oprah."

King said he will begin writing immediately, and expects to have the script done by January. I hope the movie turns out better than Oprah's last starring role in Beloved.

It was only a matter of time. Folks around the internets have made up...and recorded...the "Eddie Longstroke Dance". And its foolery you feel shamed for laughing about at its best.

The vid, when you read on....

It's slightly NSFW. Meaning--if your boss is always on your ass about something and just looking for a reason to issue that pink slip, wait till you get home.

These outfits....

DO WE LOVE IT: Cassie's Yacht Party Look

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 10:54 AM PDT

Cassie threw on her knee high black leather ribbonesque boots with her black mini dress and fur for Kim Kardashian's 30th birthday party last night.

Decide if we love the bold and furry look when you read on...

Cass rocked a trendy fur cropped coat last night to Kim K.'s 30th birthday party that went down on Kim's friend's Chelsea Pier yacht last night in Manhattan.

She paired these eye-catching over the knee boots with her black mini dress and multi-colored fur jacket with exaggerated shoulders. Green, white, black, tan, and brown were all splashed on the jacket.

And she topped it all off with lots of gold jewlery and a gold belt with hanging embellishments. So...

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Ciara, The Dream, Trey Songz, T.I., & Jeezy Kick It Courtside At The Atlanta Hawks Game

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 09:17 AM PDT

Together again Ciara and The Dream? Hmm. The two hit up the Atlanta Hawks vs. Miami Heat game last night in the ATL.

And we've got pics of the courtside celebs including Trey Songz, T.I., Jeezy, and others when you read on...

These two have been spending lots of time together haven't they?

Ummmm who is that on your shirt Trey? Are we really rocking tees now with screenprinted topless blonde chicks? Interesting.

Ciara and her fur kicked it courtside and looked unimpressed. Hot shoes though.

T.I.P. took some time away from his legal woes to catch the game.

Why do I get sad eerytime I see his pics? Sigh.

Dr. J was there and took some pics with Cici. He likes 'em young girl....betta watch out.

And Ci snapped some pics with TIP and Jeezy. Fun times.

Looks like it's officially the season for courtside celeb pics again....

Ciara has dropped a new single featuring Usher, and we have it for you inside. Get ready to "Turn It Up"....

Ciara tapped Usher for her new track "Turn It Up" from her upcoming Basic Instinct album set to hit store shelves on December 14th. T-Minus (Ludacris’ “How Low,” Lyfe Jennings “Statistics”) provides production with Ester Dean (Rihanna “Rude Boy,” Usher “Hot Tottie”) penning the song.
