Chris Paul COVERS The October 2012 ISSUE Of "GQ" Magazine, DISHES On How "Being Short" Made Him A LEADER!

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 09:42 AM PDT

 

LA Clippers star Chris Paul covers the October special issue of GQ magazine where he talks about the importance of family and how always being the short guy made him a leader.  Deets and pic of the cutie inside.....

Basketball superstar Chris Paul covers the latest issue of GQ (he's one of three covers starring Denzel Washington and Javier Bardem) where inside, he invites readers to his parents 30th wedding anniversary!  He talks up the importance of family (he and wife Jada just welcomed their second kiddie this summer) and having a great support system.  And also reveals how his height has played a large role in the man he has become.  Here are the highlights:

On the positive aspects of being short:

"I've been fortunate to be short my entire life. There's only one position I've ever had to play, and that's point guard. So I've always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk."

On his negative outburst resulting from Lakers player Pau Gasol "sonning" him:

"We call that sonnin', Like when I take Li'l Chris to the bathroom, I'll walk with my hand on his head. That's my son. You know what I mean? I understand that Gasol is that tall, but don't do to me what I do to my son."

On being a people person:

"I'm a big-time people person, too. Like, I love people. I hate to be by myself." He repeats the phrase to himself, quieter each time: "I hate to be by myself. I hate to be by myself. I hate to be by myself."

On the importance of family:

"I realize that I'm not going to be doing interviews for the cover of GQ for the rest of my life, know what I mean? I'm on TV because I play basketball really well. But when all this is over with—say something crazy happens, God forbid, and I can't perform anymore. All those people that were in there? They're still gonna be there."

 

Our innocent crush on Mr. Paul is still in tact...

STILL KILLIN IT: Iman Gets GORGE In Valentino At New York City Ballet Gala

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 09:22 AM PDT

It's that time of the year again.  The gorgeous ones tuned out for Thursday night's New York City Ballet Fall Gala to celebrate the opening of the 2012-2013 NYC Ballet season.  And supermodel Iman just reminded everyone why pushing 60....may not be such a bad thing...

She's 57 and simply stunning.  Model Iman hit the red carpet for the opening night of the New York City Ballet last night at at the David H. Koch Theater in Lincoln Center.  And since Italian fashion designer Valentino was the honored designer of the evening, Iman rocked a classic black Valentino gown for the occasion.

Valentino also created exclusive costumes for the one-night-only performance that included pointe shoes in ruby red — his signature color.

Loves the hair jewelry.  Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway and 800 others were front and center for the delicious event.  Gorgeousness indeed.

So...An Alleged Kanye West SEX TAPE Is Being Shopped...Featuring A Kim K. LOOK-A-LIKE!

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 08:18 AM PDT

A sex tape allegedly starring rapper Kanye West and a chick who, of course, looks like Kim but is NOT her....is being shopped around. Get the deets on tape inside.....

Though Kanye West is already one of the biggest celebrities in the world, his fame could go to the next level--one way or the other--if an alleged sex tape ever hits the market.

According to Radar Online (screen shot above), a sex tape which stars the rapper is being shopped around the market.  The freakiness is 20 minutes long and begins with a young woman (who allegedly looks like Kim K. but is not her) looking directly into the camera and saying that she is 18-years-old and, "My husband and I don't have sex anymore... that's why I'm here!"

It's pretty obvious Kanye likes a certain type of chick, so none of this comes as a surprise. 

Radar, who claim they can verify it is definitely Kanye, reports that the rapper wears a condom (how responsible of him) and engages in various positions with the female star.  The pair never kiss and Kanye looks directly into the camera before switching it off.  Too bad he forgot to hit that erase button.

An insider told Radar,

"The sex tape is being shopped right now and there's a lot of interest, but Kanye is freaking out!. He doesn't want this tape out and will do anything to make sure it stays private. If this were to hit the market it would be worth a fortune… there would definitely be a lot of people wanting to see this!"

The source adds, "In my expert opinion Kanye's performance far outweighs Kim's!"  However, Kanye doesn't think this is the career boost he needs right now.  The source also said, "Kanye was practically in tears when he heard the tape was being shopped."

In tears?  Wasn't he just praising his own girlfriend for being a sex tape star and calling her the "perfect bitch" for what she is now because of it?  Oh how things change...

If it ever does hit the market....will you be watching this ish?

A black streak in a blonde bun?  Interesting.

And out and about in NYC yesterday:

The twosome shared some kisses as Tamar rocked a skin tight Rabbit print "Hunter" dress by EKINEYO and pulled a change up with her nude pumps.

Vince was on the phone as usual.

And check out a scene from last night's premiere where the couple's celeb friends like Mary J Blige & Kendu Isaacs, Memphitz and more were on hand to discuss love and marriage.  And we find out just how Tamar chased down Vince before they got married:

Kanye West & Wale Get ATTACKED By Roscoe Dash For Not GIVING CREDIT

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 06:08 AM PDT

"All the Way Turnt Up" Rapper Roscoe Dash is lashing out at Kanye West and Wale for using his contributions--but not giving him proper songwriting credit on the G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer album.  Check out Roscoe calling them out inside......

 

WHen he's not busy trying to mack Karlie Redd on "Love & Hip Hop ATL" (can we talk about how AWKWARD that was--felt like a mama macking to her own son), Roscoe Dash is busy writing club bangers for your favorite rappers.  And he's tired of not getting recognized for it.

Ghostwriting for rappers/singers is nothing new, but sometimes those folks behind the scenes want a little appreciation or credit for their contributions. Roscoe Dash is no different as he took to Twitter to blast Wale and Kanye West for ignoring his contributions.

Roscoe, who appeared on "No Hands" with Waka Flocka, got pissy after Kanye posted a video where he rattled off a list of people who contributed to the CRUEL SUMMER album.....and Roscoe did not make the list.

In his tweets he said,

 

He also revealed that he wrote Wale's hit "Lotus Flower Bomb." Roscoe adds that in the industry you can't do people favors because they will "take" from you.  Hmm....

After his rant, and a phone call from Wale, he backed down and admitted he only wrote Wale's hook for the track. But he stood about being left of of Kanye's list. 

 

 

So far............Kanye hasn't responded.  But, Wale did tweet, "Nighas be wellin on twitter."  He mentioned no names but we already know....
