Posted: 03 Sep 2012 12:42 PM PDT

 Kanye West and Kim Kardashian took in some retail therapy yesterday in NYC.  See the pics inside and get the deets on Kim's modeling gig for Kanye and Kanye's rant about profanity.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted in the accessories section of Jeffrey in NYC recently.

And it looks like Kim almost popped out of her bosom-baring top.

Kanye also has plans to use Kim as a model for the fall collection he's working on.

The couple also stopped through Balenciaga.

 

And in other Kanye news, the "Bad B*tch" rapper posted a series of tweets where he pondered the use of profanity in music, questioned his own use of words like "B*tch" and "N*gga" and revealed he doesn't like people to "question" his art.

He continued.....

 

Seems like Kanye was doing some reflecting yesterday to vent his frustration.  What do you think?

She also described the "Losing You" track as "eclectic with '80s references and African percussion influences".

Expect the video to drop in October, and watch out for Solange's gorgeous self rocking the upcoming cover of the November 2012 issue of ELLE South Africa.

Day 2 of Made In America went down yesterday afternoon at Ben Franklin Parkway Festival Grounds in Philly.  And we've got the recap of festivities--including Drake, 2 Chainz, Jilly, Eve and more hitting the stage.  Pics & video inside...

Rocking an all white look for his performance Sunday night, including his own OVO tank, Drake Drizzy took the stage right before Pearl Jam to rock with the crowd:

The rain let up just enough for his several thousands fans to flood the Rocky Stage.  And Drake's surprise guests?  2 Chains for "No Lie" and French Montana for "Pop That."

Check out the "No Lie" performance above.

Clearly 2 Chainz was in a patriotic mood.

2 Chainz & French Montana also snapped a pic a the heliport before jetting out of Philly.

Jill Scott killed the stage with her performance for her hometown.  And even brought out her fellow Philly girl E-V-E. Both of the ladies looked AMAZING.

Jill ran though her hits and wrapped with an operatic version of "He Loves Me."  Work.

Earlier in the day, one of our fave chicks Santigold hit the Rocky Stage.
Here's her full performance:

And so did Run DMC, who had Jam Master Jay's sons (one named Jam Master Jayson) on the turntables.  They perfected the craft of deejaying, so Rev Run and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels had then dj'ing their set...in honor of their late father.

Here's their whole set:

PS--we know we heard the Rev curse at one point throughout the set.  You can be saved, but sometimes that Hip Hop Holy Ghost will get ya.

Roc Nation's Rita Ora hit the stage earlier in the afternoon as well.  Look at those abs!

Odd Future also rocked out the Liberty Stage Sunday afternoon. And it's already been confirmed that the Made In America Festival will return in 2013.

SUPERMODEL Joan Smalls Now Ranked #1 In The World! + Tami Roman SETTLES With Ex Husband Over Back Child Support

Posted: 02 Sep 2012 12:34 PM PDT

Supermodel Joan Smalls may not be fully a household name just yet, but that hasn't stopped her from being ranked the #1 model in the world!  Get the deets inside and find out about "Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman and Kenny Anderson settling their child support battle.

Supermodel Joan Smalls has just been ranked the #1 model in the world. For folks wondering how someone who isn't a household name can be #1 in the world, the ranking was given by the well respected Models.com and is based on daily call sheets of top photographers (like Meisel, Inez & Vinoodh, Mert & Marcus), the steady bookings of editorial giants (Vogue, V, i-D, W) and powerhouse brands (Balenciaga, Prada, Vuitton, Calvin Klein).

By taking all this into consideration, YBF model Joan is the most wanted chick in the world! Congrats!  Check out Joan speaking on the honor below:

 

 

 

And in reality tv news.....

"BBW" star Tami Roman, who revealed the tension between her and former husband Kenny Anderson on the show, has finally settled her child support lawsuit with the former NBA baller.

Filed back in 2005 when Tami claims Kenny had stopped paying his $8,500/month child support payments, the amount had ballooned to $800K.  But now, the two have recently settled out of court and folks say Tami will get a little less than the $800K....but at least she'll get it.  Tami will be paid incrementally through Kenny's NBA retirement fund.

Also, Tami says Kenny has become more involved in the lives of their daughters Lyric and Jazz.

Amber Rose Spotted Out With BABY BUMP...And Her Hair Is BACK TO BLONDE

Posted: 02 Sep 2012 10:24 AM PDT

Amber Rose was spotted out once again yesterday, shopping it up with her baby bump.  The fiance of rapper Wiz Khalifa also dyed her hair back to blonde.  If it was to throw off the rumors, it didn't work.  Because this is the second time in two days Amber's been spotted rubbing her very obvi baby bump. 

 

Pics inside...

In West Hollywood yesterday, Amber did some shopping in her Chanel sandals and a flowy green dress.  And instead of following the belief that a woman shouldn't dye her hair while preggers, she surely took to the dye bottle yesterday and is back to her blond grown out tresses.

The bags can't block that ever growing bump for long.  We can say....pregnancy looks good on her.
