| Kanye West COMPLIMENTS The French Paparazzi, Hits The Paris Streets With Kimmy Posted: 30 Sep 2013 09:01 AM PDT Contrary to popular belief, Kanye West likes to take pictures....but ONLY in France apparently. Watch Yeezus dish out "compliments" to French photographers inside and how he & his baby mama in her nude suede Alaia heels hit the Paris streets today.... Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (shown atop in Paris today after yesterday's big Givenchy show) may fight with the paparazzi at LAX, but once they hit French soil, it seems like a kinder, gentler side of 'Ye pops up. While lawyering up for a courtroom showdown with a camera-wielding trespasser in Cali, Kanye was videotaped being VERY friendly with the paps in France the other day. He was caught on camera thanking the paparazzi for being "respectable" while simply taking his picture and NOT asking him any questions. Then, the clip shows a woman walking up to the cameraman and asking "Who is that?". Damn. In a rare moment of humility, Kanye introduces himself (while staring at the ground), and politely says "I'm Kanye". Ummm....did we just watch the WORLD'S BIGGEST ROCKSTAR have a moment of humility? We're surprised he didn't yell at her in French, "Don't you know who I am? I am a God!" Peep the video below:

| VIDEO FAB: RaVaughn's "Best Friend" Posted: 30 Sep 2013 08:17 AM PDT RaVaughn has released a video for her second single "Best Friend". Watch the clip inside.....
RaVaughn, a rising star on Ne-Yo's Compound University imprint, has dropped a video for her second single, "Best Friend". She co-directed the clip with her younger sister Rhyon Brown. While working on her solo Columbia Records debut, Love Always, RaVaughn told Singersroom, “My favorite moment of the video is probably the whole pool scene, just because I’ve never done anything like that before. I had this gold glitter on my face, and we created a scene that was pretty much a fantasy”. Enjoy the clip above.....

| "Soul Food" Cast REUNITES ... For Rockmond Dunbar & Wife Maya Gilbert's Baby Shower! Posted: 30 Sep 2013 07:35 AM PDT The "Soul Food" cast has reunited! At least for their former cast member Rockmond Dunbar's baby shower. Pics inside of the Showtime cast laughing it up together this weekend....
The show ended almost a decade ago, but Boris Kodjoe, Nicole Ari Parker Kodjoe, Malinda Williams, Rockmond Dunbar and Vanessa Williams are still close friends. And they STILL look great. Over the weekend, the former cast members hit up Rockmond's baby shower as the "Sons of Anarchy" star and his new wife, actress Maya Gilbert, celebrated their baby girl on the way. Boris posed it up with Rockmond's "Sons of Anarchy" co-star LaMonica Garrett. Vanessa--who played Rockmond's wife on "Soul Food"--and Nicole snapped a cute pic at the outdoor get together. And here's a few gorge pics from Rockmond & Maya's recent wedding:
Congrats to the couple! By the way, Rockmond is also starring on this season of "The Mentalist". Nice!

| FLOPPY LUGGAGE? "Baggage Claim" DEBUTS At #4, RAKES In $9 Million Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:39 AM PDT Paula Patton's romantic comedy Baggage Claim, made a respectable bow at the box office, taking in over $9 million. But it will likely be seen as a flop to most. See how well the rest of the box office did inside..... With a blitz of publicity, and a cast of highly visible actors (Taye Diggs, Jill Scott, Lala Anthony, Derek Luke), "Baggage Claim" landed in theaters this weekend with a box office gross of $9 million. Debuting at #4, the David E. Talbert-directed film didn't do any Tyler Perry/Madea numbers, or Butler numbers, but it did make a return on its investment (the budget was $8.5M). While this isn't a runaway success, we hope the "respectable" numbers will encourage Hollywood to continue along with its increased interest in Black-led films such as Think Like A Man Too, Best Man Holiday and Black Nativity. Also, there's still a chance for an uptick in tickets sales. Because the flick only opened on 2,000 screens, it could see its box office tally rise (or fall dramatically) based on word of mouth. Here's how the rest of the box office looked:
Did you see Baggage Claim this weekend? What were your thoughts?

| What's Going On Here? Sanaa Lathan & NFL Baller Colin Kaepernick...Dating? Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:02 AM PDT 42-year-old Sanaa Lathan & 25-year-old Colin Kaepernick may be gettin' it poppin'. Check out a pic from their weekend dinner date and their lovey dovey words inside... So, this happened. Best Man Holiday actress Sanaa Lathan & NFL Quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a dinner date this weekend. How random is this? The two hotties aren't shy about letting the world know how they feel either. No word on how long they've been seeing each other, or if this was just a one off type deal, but they got a little cutesy on IG about it. Sanaa posted the pic above, leaning on the 49ers QB's shoulder, saying a simple, "xoxo". Colin then Re-grammed the same pic saying, "this". Sounds like more than just a run of the mill friendly dinner date to us. One of Sanaa's followers commented on the pic saying:
Colin & his team are 2-2 so far this season. Looks like Sanaa's got herself a sexy young one who's got some serious coin. And Colin's got himself one of the baddest vets in the game. So....are we feeling this?

| Kanye & Kim Go ALL BLACK For Givenchy's S/S 2014 Paris Fashion Week Show (Ciara's There Too!) Posted: 29 Sep 2013 12:21 PM PDT In what's being "billed" as their first official event together as a couple since becoming new parents, Kanye West brought his baby mama Kim Kardashian to the Givenchy show today. Check out the twosome in their signature all black attire at Paris Fashion Week, plus Ciara rolling to the show as well... While showing off their perfectly practiced pouty looks for the cameras, Kanye & Kim made the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 fashion show their first official appearance as new parents. Today in Paris, the couple donned all black looks handed over by Givenchy's head honcho Riccardo Tisci. (pictured below) And Kim hid her post baby curves in a sleeved black gown with a mesh chest area and a ruffled peplum waist.
Yesterday, the twosome were spotted arriving into Paris and also headed straight to London via the Eurostar train. But quickly jetted back to the City of Lights for the love of fashion:
Ciara was also in attendance at the Givenchy show and was spotted chopping it up with 'Ye and her sometime bestie Kim: Interesting look for the show.
BONUS: Kanye flew solo to the Celine show before hitting the Givenchy show:
Alrighty...

| Posted: 29 Sep 2013 10:34 AM PDT Rihanna is looking naturally gorge for her brand new November 2013 issue of GLAMOUR Magazine. Check out the beauty taking over the fashion mag, plus her sexed up BTS Marilyn Monroe look for her "Pour It Up" video shoot.... As GLAMOUR's November 2013 cover girl, island gal Rihanna rocks her natural curls, hot makeup, and fall fashion. And we're loving the change up. The 25-year-old is busy traveling the world on her Diamonds World Tour, but in between concert dates, she shoots magazine covers and videos. Not much partying anymore since she said herself she now hates it and has become a square. Rihanna is the second YBF chick in a row to grace the cover of GLAMOUR as Kerry Washington is the reigning queen of October. And she's talking about how she got her fearlessness back after her traumatic relationship, plus how she stays on top of her style game.
The bad gyal also posted more pics for a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming "Pour It Up" video, shot by her bestie Melissa Forde:
And now that the video has been constantly delayed--seemingly because of creative differences with the director who has now quit the project--looks like the ratchet stripper party of a video is officially on the way.

| Suge Knight's Ex-Fiancee Stormey Ramdhan Is Pushing A Tell-All Book.... Posted: 29 Sep 2013 09:25 AM PDT Get ready, because yet another ex of another infamous celeb is writing a tell-all. And this time, it's Suge Knight's ex-fiancee Stormey Ramdhan. Deets and her possible alterior motive inside... When you're the girlfriend, fiancee & baby's mother of Suge Knight, you're sure to have seem some ish. But now his ex--who says she was his fiancee--Stormey Ramdhan is brave enough to tell all over a decade later. Stormey's rep tells us that the book, My Life With The Knight, will dish some juicy nuggets about what life as Suge's fiancee and baby's mother was like. And we're told she's the only one bold enough to really tell all about what went down during their relationship in the late 90s. From the Biggie shooting to being a kept woman in L.A. to all the hip hop drama that was going on at that time, we're sure she'll be revealing a different side of things that went down during that era. Especially since she was so close to the man at the center of it all. The book, developed by The R'ajwa Company, is slated to drop soon. And based on Stormey' description of herself on her FB page, we're left to wonder if she's so willing to talk about one of the most feared men in hip hop....because she's interested in getting her own tv hosting gig. She said about herself, "I am a Mother, Author, Entrepreneur, and aspiring TV Host." And she's already got plenty of promo pics to make you know who she is:
Here's her promo video for the book: And the BTS clip, if you care:
Will you be copping Stormey's book?
