Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Enjoy A Movie Date In Calabasas Posted: 15 Mar 2014 08:20 AM PDT Kanye West and Kim Kardashian left baby North at home to spend some quality time with one another. Check the pics of the couple catching a movie inside...   Kanye West and his fiancée Kim Kardashian got some down time and hit up a movie in Calabasas on yesterday.   North’s parents were arm-in-arm as they talked and walked inside the movie theater. Kim glammed it up in a skin-tight red mini dress paired with gold embellished gladiator heels while Kanye was really casual and laid back in jeans and a sweater. The reality star announced her baby clothing line Kardashian Kids is now available at Babies R’ Us and available to order online. She tweeted, “Today is the day! @kardashiankids launches today and in @babiesrus stores tomorrow!!!!!!” She then took questions from fans on Twitter and responded to one question, “We wanted to start out with a line for little girls first but would love to release one for boys, too!” Nice. BONUS: Young Money rapper Tyga owes nearly $100,000 in taxes. According to TMZ, in 2009 he owed $11,201, in 2010 he owed $4,437 and for 2011 he owes a whopping $76,008. That equals to $91,646 in back taxes. Guess he should take a trip to “Rack City” for a loan. Photos: Splash/Fame/Tyga's IG

Jennifer Hudson No Longer Ambassador For Weight Watchers After 4 Years + Lupita Nyong’o RUMORED To Star In Lead Role In ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ Posted: 15 Mar 2014 07:31 AM PDT Jennifer Hudson is no longer an ambassador for Weight Watchers and Lupita Nyong’o is rumored to have landed a lead role in a new movie. Read the deets inside… Jennifer Hudson has Weight Watchers to thank for her dramatic weight lost and new silhouette but now it seems the two have parted ways. J-Hud is no longer the face of Weight Watchers and they both released statements announcing their split after 4 years. Jennifer tells E! News: "My experience with Weight Watchers has truly been life changing," Hudson said in a statement Friday. "I am grateful for what I have learned throughout the process and will always take it with me. I have chosen to step away from my role as ambassador and I am excited for the year to come, with many new projects and lots of new music."   Weight Watchers also released the following statement: "After four years of a successful and rewarding partnership, Weight Watchers and Jennifer Hudson are ending our official partnership, though we're confident Jennifer will remain a Lifetime Member," Weight Watchers said in a statement to E! News. "Jennifer's healthy lifestyle and successful weight loss has inspired so many—from her friends and family to our members and staff, as well as people around the world—and we know that inspiration lives on. We will continue to support Jennifer in maintaining her healthy lifestyle and wish her the very best in her personal and professional life." There were also reports that the split may not have been a friendly one after J-Hud fired off a tweet which allegedly said "Sometimes you have to step back and let your work speak for you, and when that doesn't work you walk away knowing you did your best...It's been fun and a pleasure good luck to you all. @WeightWatchers." The tweet has since been deleted. Its possible J-Hud had a certain number of years in her contract to begin with. And in movie news… Academy Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o may possibly have landed a new lead role.  Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the “12 Years a Slave” star met with director J.J. Abrams a few weeks before the Oscars. She’s supposedly in talks for the female lead role in the highly anticipated sci-fi film "Star Wars: Episode VII." There aren’t any details on the actual role but one possibility is that of a descendent of Obi-Wan Kenobi, described as a role for someone of color. Lupita and her stylist Macaela Erlanger graced the cover of The Hollywood Reporter for their 25 Most Powerful Stylists list. Macaela found herself at the top of the list and she dished on working with Lupita during Awards season, which was nothing short of amazing.   Photos: Getty/Jennifer Hudson’s IG

NEW MUSIC: Keyshia Cole PREVIEWS "Boss A$$ B*TCH", Elle Varner's "Cold Case", Future's "Covered N Money" Posted: 14 Mar 2014 02:03 PM PDT   Keyshia Cole released a preview of a new song off her upcoming album.  Listen to "Boss A$$ B*tch" inside along with Elle Varner's "Cold Case" and Future's "Covered N Money." Keyshia Cole used Instagram to preview a new song called “Boss Ass Bitch.” She kicks it off by saying, “If you hos didn’t know, my name is Keyshia Cole and I’m a boss ass b*tch.” On Twitter, she told fans that the first single will drop next week and will include 15 tracks including three “sexy records.” One follower asked if the theme of the disc is male bashing and she said, “Sadly sorta.”  Well....her husband did embarrass her with a stripper. It makes sense...   Listen to the preview "Boss A$$ B*tch"   In other new music....  Elle Varner will release her sophomore LP, 4 Letter Word later this year. Each of the LP's tracks will be dedicated to a different four letter word that expresses the sentiment of the song. The first track, “Cold Case” (below) focused on the all important word, love. Speaking about the upcoming album, Elle said, “The album is a beautifully gut wrenching body of songs that I went to a very vulnerable place to create. The title is open to interpretation, hence the symbols used in the campaign – “>$a!” It's whatever you feel when you experience the album. Does “>$a!” stand for love? Pain? Life? That's for the listener to decide. 4 Letter Word has the kind of range that can't be embodied by a single word or phrase.” 4 Letter Word is executive produced by hitmaking duo, Pop & Oak (Nicki Minaj, Big Sean). Listen to "Cold Case" here:  Fans can see Elle perform at the following upcoming shows: March 14th – Chicago, IL – The Shrine March 21st – Syracuse, NY – The Carrier Dome w/ Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole April 12th – San Leandro, CA – Historic Bal Theater   Also......    Future recently released the Sonny Digital-produced track “Covered N Money" as the next tune from his HONEST disc (in stores April 22nd). Speaking about the upcoming project, Future said, “I started going in another direction after I made the ‘Shit’ record. It just flipped the whole album. I got in a whole other mood when I went in the studio.” Listen to the streaming track here.   Photos via Keyshia Cole's Instagram/Elle Varner's Instagram

I'd rather win the healthy eating battle." "They love when I’m over the top! Their favorite things for me to wear are gowns and leather jackets.”   The celeb mom also disclosed her beauty essentials and her three favorite things, "My essentials are a hat or scarf, big glasses, bold lip and sunblock!"  Her favorite things are meditation, tea, hot baths.  The Ambrose Family’s tender moments will be published in The Glow’s debut publication on April 15th.   Check out the full spread of June and her beautiful children here.   Photos: The Glow/Black Celeb Kids/Eva Marcille’s IG
