Model Chanel Iman: I'M TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHT!

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 07:54 AM PST

Victoria's Secret model Chanel Iman knows you think she will break if she jumps up on a curb too hard.  She says gaining weight is next to impossible for her to do, but she's happily packing on the pounds so she can get a fuller figure.

 

Read on for what she had to say about her yummy "diet" when you read on...

 

In a statement that will piss off damn near every woman reading it, Chanel Iman is explaining why she's so slender...even for a supermodel.

The 5'9 20-year-old beauty told UsWeekly.com last week that she recently packed on 13 pounds.  And she's loving it.  She says it's hard for her to gain weight, so she eats all the steak and potatoes she can to get those curves she loves to see on a woman:

"I eat to gain. I'm a big believer in having hips, butt and thighs!"

Oh yeah?  So what's her horrific and utterly difficult diet plan?

"I'm eating everything from steak to mashed potatoes; people hate me!  It's very difficult for me because I'm naturally skinny. I have to put on a lot of weight and work out to gain muscle. I love curves and being sexy."

Sigh.  Meanwhile, many women can LOOK at 2 au gratin potatoes and put on 13 pounds.  Well good luck with your quest Chanel.  You're a fab chick nonetheless.

RUN IT: Kanye VS. Liv Tyler In GIVENCHY

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 06:39 AM PST

Here's an interesting face-off.  Both Kanye West and actress Liv Tyler hit the Givenchy show in Paris in the exact same shirt this weekend.

 

Decide who rocked it best when you read on...

Kanye paired his Givenchy 2011 Autumn/Winter Men's Collection "dog" tee with leather plants and a light jacket as he hit up the Givenchy Paris show this weekend.  He topped his all-black-everything look off with black shades and a skullie.

Interestingly, actress and daughter of rock legend Steven Tyler, Liv Tyler, rolled to the same Givenchy show in the exact same tee.  But she feminized it up by making the tee a dress and pairing it with black tights.  Black sandals and a black blazer completed her look.

So...

WHO RAN IT?!

BONUS: Kanye just won his copyright case regarding his "Stronger" track.  Peep the story here.

Stars of the latest season of "Celebrity Apprentice" celebrated its season premiere last night at Surrender Nightclub at Encore in Las Vegas.   Come inside to see pics of NeNe Leakes, Chanita Foster,  and Lil' Jon.

 

Sure to be a standout this year, the tv teasers show NeNe in hot confrontations with both LaToya Jackson and Star Jones.  I'm sure that ought to get interesting after their recent exchange of words.

 

Chanita Foster from "Football Wives" was there.

 

 

Castmember Lil' Jon was in the building.

 

NeNe was spotted promoting the show in her spiked Louboutins.

Later, Lil' Jon hit the wheels of steel and got the party jumping.

Get your singles ready! 

Lil' Jon got it so "crunk" that cast member Gary Busey took it to the pole screaming "To the windows....to the wall..."  I can't!

PICS: Rihanna's Parents Make Sure The Checks Keep Coming In

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 09:20 AM PST

Yesterday Rihanna's parents helped launch the star's first signature perfume, Reb’l Fleur, at Cave Shepherd in Bridgetown, Barbados. The proud parents received the red carpet treatment and posed with fans that came to show support. We have the pics after the jump. 

Monica and Ronald Fenty were on hand to promote their daughter's fragrance. Although Rih Rih was not able to attend the launch herself since she's working over in Sydney, her parents didn't miss an oppurtunity to pose for the paps in her place. 

Her parents are separated, but it's good to see them come together for their kiddie.  Especially since Rih has said she's been estraged from her dad for a while.

 

Please check out the woman on the right channeling her "inner" Rih Rih with that red Halloween wig. SMH. 

Proud Pappy.

The first person to purchase Reb'l Fleur was also allowed to be photographed with Rihanna’s mom, Monica. (**side note** Isn't this a woman's fragrance?)  Gotta love it.

And gotta make sure those checks keep coming in!

She looked happy as she rode off into the sunset with her man.  Not mad at all....
