TAKE THAT: Gabourey Sidibe Gets Happy At SUNDANCE....Debuts Her NEW Movie "White Bird In A Blizzard" Posted: 21 Jan 2014 08:59 AM PST Gabourey Sidibe is keeping calm (and funny) and carrying on.  The shade-throwing actress was spotted arriving at SUNDANCE this week to promote her upcoming film.  Check the fun pics inside...   While Ms. Sidibe gets shots thrown at her via social media about her weight, the Oscar nominee is too busy to care as she's got plenty of work on deck.  She recently thanked her fans for appreciating her epic Twitter shade saying: Yay! Everyone is so wonderful and supportive of my shade! This might be a problem down the line. Thank you! #notmyjetthough #imnotthatfancy And while starring in "American Horror Story: Coven", Gabby also shot a movie called White Bird In A Blizzard.  It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in Salt Lake City yesterday.  And she was spotted yesterday snapping funny pics with fans:   Her new flick stars Shiloh Fernandez, Christopher Meloni, Shailene Woodley, and Mark Indelicato (remember him from "Ugly Betty"?!). Gabourey's next movie on deck is a gay rights comedy called Life Partners starring Leighton Meester and Adam Brody.   Photos: FAME

OH: The Game PARTIES With Khloe Kardashian At The Robin Hood Project Bowling Night Charity Event Posted: 21 Jan 2014 07:35 AM PST The Game and Khloe Kardashian were spotted together at his Robin Hood Project charity event last night. See pics and find out what other celebs attended inside....   The Game hosted The Robin Hood Project Charity Bowling Night at Pinz in Studio City, California last night.  And he and Khloe Kardashian know how to keep the rumor mill going.... The Game created The Robin Hood Project as a means to donate $1 million of his own money to various causes.  The money was donated to a 4-year-old girl whose mother died in a car accident last week. His pal, Khloe Kardashian, her bestie Malika Haqq and Leaux Steez (his assistant who has also been rumored to be more than just an assistant) all came out to support the evening of giving.   The Game counted a number of other celebs among the supporters, including Khloe’s sister Kylie, who arrived with rapper Lil Twist and even Ray J...of course.   And the obligatory bathroom selfie.  We're still waiting to see if Game & Leaux will officially join "LAHH LA".   Photos via The Game's Instagram/Khloe Kardashian IG/CassyAthenePhoto Instagram

GOLD & TOPLESS: Come Inside Rihanna's Sexy Brazilian Yacht Ride... Posted: 21 Jan 2014 06:36 AM PST   Rihanna's doing what she does best: Slaying Instagram photoshoots effortlessly.  Check out the "Stay" singer rocking just her gold bikini bottoms while chillin' in Brazil.... We bet she totally does wake up like this.  While in Brazil doing some photoshoots with Shakira for VOGUE, Rihanna has stayed in the saucy country to soak up more sun during her "time off". So she's doing her usual: throwing on a bikini -- well bikini bottoms -- and snapping away to give her IG fans something to drool over.   Even her assistant Jenn couldn't keep her hands off: Rih is nominated for GRAMMYS in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for her track "Stay" with Mikky Ekko and the Best Urban Contemporary Album category for Unapologetic. The GRAMMYS go down this Sunday on CBS!   Photos: Rihanna's IG

Richard Sherman RESPONDS About Post-Game Rant, "I Don’t Want To Be A Villain" + Wendy Williams BREAKS DOWNS -- "My Son Doesn't Like Me Anymore" Posted: 20 Jan 2014 11:58 AM PST Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is speaking out about the post-game rant that's caused so much controversy on social media. See his response inside and watch Wendy Williams breakdown about her 13-year-old son growing up.... After Seattle's Sunday night 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Richard Sherman gave a shocking sideline interview to FOX's Erin Andrews where he screamed at the camera, "Well, I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're gonna get .... Don't you [Crabtree] ever talk about me! Don't you open your mouth about the best or I'm gonna shut it for you real quick." While some football fans say he showed lack of sportsmanship, other says he's just very passionate. Then there are those who used the rant to justify labelingh im with racial slurs and epithets. Today, Richard (who went to Stanford) wrote a first-person column for "MMQB" where he explained his "passion" and said he was disappointed by people depicted him as a villain/bully and resorted to racial slurs. Here's a snippet: "It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am. I don’t want to be a villain, because I’m not a villainous person. When I say I’m the best cornerback in football, it’s with a caveat: There isn’t a great defensive backfield in the NFL that doesn’t have a great front seven. Everything begins with pressure up front, and that’s what we get from our pass rushers every Sunday. To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field—don’t judge a person’s character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family. But people find it easy to take shots on Twitter, and to use racial slurs and bullying language far worse than what you’ll see from me. It’s sad and somewhat unbelievable to me that the world is still this way, but it is. I can handle it." Read the full column here. Do you think Richard went too far? Revisit the rant here:     Also on television....   Wendy Williams burst into tears earlier today when talking about Madonna's relationship with her pre-teen son Rocco.  Wendy said it upset her to see the story, because her own 13-year-old son Kevin is much closer to his father than he is to her...and it's breaking her heart.  Watch Wendy's version "A Mother's Love" above.  We kid, we kid.  But we feel ya Wendy... She spoke on the situation after the show as well:   BONUS:   Richard Sherman starred in Beats by Dr. Dre's third installment of the HEAR WHAT YOU WANT campaign. The spot aired during the Seahawks vs. 49ers NFC championship game.
