Meagan Good Hits the Laker Game With Fiance DeVon Franklin...And Flaunts That ENGAGEMENT RING!

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 09:54 AM PDT

Think Like A Man actress Meagan Good celebrated 2 weeks atop the box office charts by hitting up the staples Center last night with her new fiance DeVon Franklin.

Check out the cute twosome sharing some nachos...and Meagan flaunting that ring...

Dressed in a tan baseball cap, black hoodie & tshirt & jeans, the laid back actress looked her usual pretty self while kickin' it courtside at Game 1 of the Lakers vs. Nuggets playoff series. And we're finally seeing that beautiful rock of hers. Clearly her fiance is making her a happy woman as she was glowing makeup free:

If she wasn't known as one of the sweetest women in Hollywood (surprising I know), we'd be tempted to hate her and her effortless cuteness. Can't wait to see the wedding pics!

Hardcore Laker fan Ice Cube made his way to the Staples center with his sons in tow to watch the Lakers take home the win. Loves Cube as a dad.

DO WE LOVE IT?!

Mariah Carey And Nick Cannon GET KISSY & Head To Austria For The Twins' FIRST BIRTHDAY + Nick REVEALS Why Mariah Is His "FOREVER" Love

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 08:47 AM PDT

After renewing their vows in Paris a few days ago, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got kissy outside their hotel today as they hopped aboard their private plane to jet to Austria for the twins' birthday. See the pics inside and find out why Nick says he knows he will love Mariah forever!

Mariah Carey and her buff bodied husband Nick Cannon (who finally looks like he's gotten some rest) were spotted leaving their hotel in Paris earlier. Mariah wore a form-fitting crocheted black dress and jewels for the trip.

And the twins, Roc and Roe, who turn 1 today, weren't far behind as the proud parents will celebrate their birthday in Austria.

Mimi posed it up with a few fans before she got into her car.

And the Jenny spokeswoman is squeezing in some work as she's set to perform a huge concert in Ischgl during their Austrian honeymoon/birthday trip.

Nick was on daddy duty as he checked to make sure Roe was ok on the way to the private jet:

Must be nice...

By the way, Nick was Mariah's inspiration for her new "Forever" fragrance. And for her latest ad, he dished on why their love would last forever. The fragrance company conducted a Q/A with Nick:

Nick on how he felt the first time he met Mariah…
I presented her with an award at the Kid’s Choice Awards. I was so nervous but decided to take my chances and give her a kiss on the cheek! I had to have that kiss.

How Nick knew Mariah would be his forever love…
Mariah is a beautiful and talented person, and I’ve had a crush on her for as long as I can remember. Every day, my respect for Mariah continues to grow higher. She’s a caring, warm and funny person. People have no idea how funny she is! I feel like I’ve always known she was my forever love.

Nick on what it takes to be forever…
Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you’re in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad. To celebrate our lasting love, Mariah and I get married each year on our anniversary.

Nick on forever love…
To me a forever love is a bond that can’t be broken. It’s like my love for “dembabies” and Mariah. You go through difficult times, but as long as you hang on to the beautiful things, it’s great – even when it’s rough, it’s real.

Nick on being the inspiration behind Mariah’s fragrance, Forever…
It’s incredible. Who could really imagine somebody dedicating a fragrance for your love? I was pretty much in awe. I’ve learned a lot watching Mariah create such successful fragrances. Every time Mariah wears “Forever”, it takes me back to the passion and excitement of when we first fell in love.

Sweet!

Lamar And Khloe Odom AXING "Khloe & Lamar" Spinoff Show, Spend Time In NYC With Destiny Odom

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 07:53 AM PDT

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian, spotted above in NYC with his daughter Destiny, are ending their spin-off show "Khloe & Lamar". And reportedly will only make rare appearances on the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" flagship show. Sounds like they're not about that reality dynasty life. Deets inside....

The Odoms had a family dinner last night at Serafina in NYC, and Khloe spent the day with her step-daughter Destiny getting makeup done and shopping in the meatpacking district. And it sounds like things like this will be the Odoms' new focus in life:

Khloe & Lamar, who spent a few days with his kids at their NYC hotel this week, will have more time to focus on careers and getting pregnant as she and Lamar have called it quits on "Khloe & Lamar"....for now.

After a bad stint with the Dallas Mavericks (Lamar is on their inactive list), friends say, according to TMZ, Lamar plans to hire trainers in LA and focus on reviving his NBA career.

Hmmm.....doesn't this set them up to have ANOTHER reality show about Khloe getting pregnant and Lamar making a comeback? That Kris Jenner keeps those kiddies moving....

VIDEO FAB: Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" Video

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 07:26 AM PDT

In a desert tribal dancer themed video, Rihanna flexes her choreographed dance skills for the first time in her "Where Have You Been" visuals. Check out the full video inside...

She donned an animal print scarf for a mysterious look, a head full of curls for a seductive look & long tresses which had a pirate-like feel all while dancing it up to her euro-dance beat track.

The tribal vibe of the video was conjured up by director Dave Meyers and took place over 2 17-hour days. Rihanna started off with a medieval goddess rise from the water and continued with tribal dance-heavy scenes, which she said were necessary for this type of song. Check it below:

You feelin' it?

Kanye Takes Kim K. On Whirlwind Fun-Filled NYC Day

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 06:48 AM PDT

Chick just can't get enough. The morning after her appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner as the guest of Fox News (yeah, it's pretty obvious how they were trying to make the President look by inviting her and Lindsay Lohan), Kim Kardashian hopped a plane from D.C. back to Manhattan Sunday morning. Just to spend the day hitting up the theater & dinner with her loverboy Kanye West.

Pics inside...

When she hopped the plane in DC to quickly get back to Mr. West after being away 24 hours, Kim tweeted:

Who knew they had a chapel in the airport! Church service before the flight!

Because we all know ~~she~~ everybody needs some Jesus.

In a short black dress and heels, and Kanye not suffering another post-possible-coital wardrobe malfunction, the couple hit up a movie theater to catch Think Like A Man. And also made a stop on Broadway to catch the production of Wicked after lunch at Serafina:

The hand-holding twosome were spotted having dinner at Joseph Leonard for dinner and ice cream at Haagen Dazs before hitting up the #1 movie in America for two weeks in a row, Think Like A Man.

And so it continues....

DO GOODERS: Sheree Whitfield & Phaedra Parks WISH With The Kids

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 11:01 AM PDT

At yesterday's Wish Upon A Hero Foundation event in Atlanta, ATL Housewife Phaedra Parks and former Housewife Sheree Whitfield donated money to children & their families who needed a little help making their lives easier.

Pics inside of the ladies, who we hear barely spoke to each other even during an event for a good cause...

Phaedra was all about the kiddies yesterday as she handed out a $1000 check at the Urban Active Fitness Center sponsored event. And the recipient was a little girl named Addison whose family needed help with funding their trips to and from the hospital to get her the help she needs.
