| OUT & ABOUT: Lamar Odom Spotted At Armenian Restaurant In L.A. Posted: 16 Oct 2013 08:52 AM PDT
Lamar Odom seems to be OK with being seeing around town again....now that there's a biger scandal brewing in the Kardashian household with Kris & Bruce Jenner's divorce.
Check out the baller hitting up an Armenian restarant for dinner last night inside... Even though Lamar himself (or even his wife and her family) have yet to outright confirm Lamar was having cocaine addiction problems for the last couple months (or years according to reports), Lamar stayed hidden away from the public for a while. Bu t recently he's been out and about in L.A. doing things like grabbing dinner and goodies with his father, and now grabbing dinner at an Armenian restaurant in L.A. Clearly his supposedly estranged & half Armenian wife Khloe turned him on to the food. Or maybe she was also there and simply avoiding the paps...
He even got some love and a hug from a fellow restaurant goer who was holding a baby.
Good to see Lamar living his life again...

Superstar Usher celebrated his 35th birthday earlier this week. See the pop star with Diddy and Justin Bieber inside and watch Wendy Williams celebrate her son's 13th birthday with Meek Mill, Mack Wilds and Adrienne Bailon.
"Dive" singer Usher celebrate his 35th birthday this week with a huge bash at Bootsy Bellow in West Hollywood. Mr. Raymond, who's headed back to the big screen in Hands of Stone,was toasted by Jermaine Dupri and Diddy, two men who've been instrumental in his musical journey. Ursh even participated in a dance off with Justin Bieber, whom he discovered.
Other notables at the party included veteran entertainer Ben Vereen, whom Usher calls his "Godfather" and boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. A few months ago, we told you about Usher training to play Sugar Ray in the upcoming film Hands of Stone. "Adorn" singer Miguel, Ashley Benson, T.I., Blake Shelton, David Arquette, and Cassie were also spotted.
The party carried an "S&M Cirque du Soleil" theme with girls dancing in plastic balls, whips and chains and sumo wrestlers!
Usher's cake was shaped like a boxing ring to celebrate his latest film role where he'll be portraying Sugar Ray Leonard.
In other birthday news.....
Wendy Williams, the "Queen of All Media", threw her son Kevin Hunter Jr., a huge 13th birthday bash at Marquee in New York City over the weekend. And since she said her son has been going to all his dclassmates' Bat & Bar Mitvahs and now says he wants one, she decided to throw him a Black Bar Mitvah.
Wendy spoke about the birthday party on her national-syndicated talk show this week where she revealed that Lil' Kev wanted to wear Versace....so he could really get his party on when the DJ played the "Versace" track by Drake and Migos. Gotta love the kids...
Lil' Kev's (surprise) date for the evening was actress Adrienne Bailon. The former "Cheetah Girl" also sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
Mack Wilds performed his hit song "Own It".
Meek Mills also hit the stage to perform for Lil' Kev and his friends.
Wendy purchased Lil' Kev a birthday cake from BCAKENY who designed a cake reflecting Kev's love of sneakers and basketball.
Watch Adrienne Bailon sing "Happy Birthday": Watch Mack Wilds perform: Watch Meek Mills perform (with Kev hopping on stage):
Must be nice to be the only child of a media mogul...

Future is threatening to take Drake to court because he was bounced from the rapper's "Would You Like A Tour" outing. Find out what led to Future's firing inside and watch Maino get arrested.
Now that Future's been tossed from Drake's "Would You Like A Tour?" outing, his lawyers are threatening a $1.5M lawsuit to cover his lost wages. The NY Post reports that Drake got pissy over a few comments Future made about his NWTS album in Billboard Magazine. During an interview with Erika Ramirez, Future, allegedly said,
After Erika posted the comments on Twitter, Drake and his team became enraged! Although Future’s managers argued with the magazine and said his comments were taken out of context, Drake's management allegedly said, "...either Future gets fired, or he’ll fire him.” Because Future was on board to make about $40,000 per gig (netting him a windfall of $1.5 million), his legal team wants what they "would" have earned! We'll keep you posted on new developments....
In other rap news....
Footage of "All of Above" rapper Maino getting busted in Times Square (on September 25) has gone viral. In the clip, we see that cops pulled him over for driving around without a front plate on his Bentley. During the stop, cops discovered that Maino's license had been suspended for a previous incident....which only added to his drama. TMZ reports that since the arrest, Maino has already pled guilty and paid a fine. He added that he's gotten his license back. Now the it's all settled....we're wondering how he thought he was going to get away with riding dirty (i.e. breaking the law ) while driving a Bentley through one of the most popular tourist spots in the world? SMH.....

TLC made several promotional appearances today for the release of "20", their greatest hits album, and "Crazy Sexy Cool" their upcoming VH1 biopic. Watch the interviews and see their "GMA" performance inside....
Earlier today, T-Boz and Chilli appeared on GMA to promote the release of a new greatest hits album "20", which hits stores today, and their biopic, Crazy Sexy Cool, which air on VH1 on October 21. The ladies talked to Robin Roberts and were joined by the film's stars Lil Mama, Drew Sidora and Keke Palmer. They praised the ladies for their realistic portrayal of TLC and later hit the stage to perform a few of their classic songs.
Watch TLC perform a medley of hits here:
In other TLC interviews.... TLC also appeared on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club where they discussed their VH1 biopic. Though they didn't give away too many movie deets (they want us to tune in!), there were a few shockers. When talking about their money woes, they revealed that the record label (and Pebbles) gave them vehicles to celebrate their platinum success. What kind of cars? Chilli says she got a Honda Prelude and T-Boz and Left Eye both got Pathfinders! Also, DJ Envy, Charlamagne and Angela Yee all agreed that Pebbles won't win any fans or supporters once the film airs. When asked if the movie was exaggerated, T-Boz said that Pebbles was MORE of a monster than what we saw. Charlamagne asked Chilli why she never "cut" Pebbles, and she joked, "I just don't want to go to jail. I have a son to raise!" Chilli and T-Boz also shared why they have remained in the business for 20 years. Chilli said, "It's our dream. Most people go through those kinds of things and at the end of the day you just wanna work really hard.....so you have the power to change those kinds of things." T-Boz added, "And learn. You want to learn from your mistakes....we've been here 20 years. You need to learn along the way and soak up all the information you can. That would be stupid to be our age and still going through the same things. That's not hot."
Crazy Sexy Cool airs on VH1 on October 21 at 9/8C.

| DATE NIGHT: Diddy And Cassie DINE OUT In Beverly Hills Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:08 AM PDT
Diddy and Cassie were spotted out in Beverly Hills last night where they had a romantic dinner. See their candids inside....
Entertainment mogul Diddy was spotted out in Beverly Hills where he had a romantic dinner with his girlfriend Cassie.
The couple dined at Hakkasan restaurant.
Cassie and Diddy wore color-coordinated outfits with him rocking a leather top and black pants while she showed off a little cleavage with a white V-neck sweater, baggy black leather pants and black stilettos. We love her handbag! Though the couple did post intimate photos of themselves on Instagram recently (including a foot rub), they didn't allow photographers to snap them leaving the restaurant together or in the car.
BONUS: Diddy and J. Cole posted a video on YouTube to show they don't have any animosity towards one another (and to promote REVOLT). Watch the "fight" above.....
