| Posted: 31 May 2014 08:27 AM PDT Funnyman Tracy Morgan was spotted in Vancouver with his girlfriend and adorable daughter. See the family photos inside.... Former "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan put all jokes aside yesterday as he escorted his long-time girlfriend Megan Wollover and their adorable daughter Maven Morgan through Vancouver International Airport in Vancouver, Canada yesterday. Tracy had that serious "Dad" look on his face as he guided the family safely though the airport. Cute. Tracy, who just released his latest stand-up special, "Bona Fide" in April, was in Canada doing stand-up. On his way back, he picked up a bouquet of roses for the ladies in his life. How sweet. Next.....Tracy will voice a character in the animated flick The Boxtrolls (due September 26). Nice!

| Kanye & Kim Hit Another European Wedding....While Ray-J Gets Busted For Battery & Trespassing Posted: 31 May 2014 07:34 AM PDT Kim and Kanye stepped out in Prague last night. Get the deets on where they went inside and find out why Ray J spent last night behind bars. Honeymooners Kanye and Kim have been in Prague for a few days, and now we know why. The couple was in town to celebrate the wedding of Kanye's stylist, Renelou Padora. Earlier in the day, they strolled the streets of old Prague and went shopping on "Parizska" street. Then the twosome threw on their metallics and leathers and headed out for somebody else's Euro-wedding festivities. In the pics above, the couple was seen taking some time out of their honeymoon to head to the rehearsal dinner at Bluelight. Oddly, we've learned that the camera-loving couple brought a pair of "clones" to Prague to act as decoys for the paparazzi. Why? We thought they loved the attention.
In related news.....
Kim's sex tape "co-star" Ray J was arrested last night after he caused a ruckus at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel . According to TMZ, hotel staff called the cops on Ray J after they asked him to leave and he refused. Once police arrived at the scene (above) Ray J was reportedly irrate. Sources even claim he kicked out one of the patrol car's windows AFTER he was taken into custody...allegedly. He was booked by Bev Hills PD for trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest, and battery (he allegedly spit on an officer during the arrest). SMH....we hope this wasn't some "LAHH LA" -ish. One report says it was all over Ray-J grabbing a woman's ass. Sigh. According to Splash News, Ray J posted bail early this morning and was seen leaving the station with his girlfriend (and their little white dog) at 3am. Sources say he left the jailhouse with a smile on his face....we can imagine. Ray J ain't about that jail life....

| Posted: 31 May 2014 06:12 AM PDT Academy-Awarding winning actress Lupita Nyong'o reportedly has her sights set on turning Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's best-selling novel Americanah into a film. More inside.... During Stylist magazine's inaugural book club event at the Waldorf Hilton hotel in London, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (shown above) reportedly revealed that Lupita Nyong’o has optioned the film right to her novel Americanah. For those unfamiliar with Chimamanda's work, outside of her guest appearance on Beyonce's "***Flawless", Americanah is a love story that centers on a young man and woman from Nigeria who face difficult choices and challenges in their country. The book was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of 2013 by the editors of the New York Times Book Review and it won the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award (Fiction). During an earlier interview with ARISE 360, Chimamanda hinted at Lupita's desire to create a project around the book and now it's official, it seems.
Congrats to Lupita on making major moves in Hollywood on her own!

| Tyra Banks Nabs ANOTHER Talk Show + CBS Backpedals...CANCELS "Arsenio Hall Show" Posted: 30 May 2014 04:08 PM PDT She's baaaack. Somebody gave Tyra Banks another talk show. Get the deets on her 2015 return inside, plus how Arsenio Hall got cancelled after all.... Model and business woman Tyra Banks has a new outlook on life now that she has her Harvard Business School certification. So she's got lots to talk about again as it relates to lifestyle and women. So, set for a 2015 launch, Tyra and Disney-ABC announced today that the "America's Next Top Model" honcho will be hosting her own talk show again on daytime tv.
Deadline describes the "team" style show below:
Will you be watching?
But not everybody's getting a continued second chance. Arsenio Hall just received cancellation news about his late night talk show, just months after CBS (and Jay Leno) announced his show would be renewed! Back in February, CBS renewed "The Arsenio Hall Show" after securing a two-year deal with the Tribune stations pre-launch. And Jay Leno even surprised Arsenio on his own show to deliver the news, right after exiting his own. CBS claims the show has dropped from 1.9 million viewers to about 700,000. “While there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue,” a CBSTD spokesperson said. “Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.” Arsenio has already spoken out saying:
Sigh. His show was definitely necessary to the late night tv landscape. Hopefully another network picks him up!

| Posted: 30 May 2014 11:03 AM PDT "The Diva Next Door" Mariah Carey was honored at last night's 2014 Fresh Air Fund Gala and you won't believe how she got there! See pics inside.... Mariah Carey, the elusive chanteuse, stepped out in her glittery style last night on the way to the '2014 Fresh Air Fund Gala Honoring Our American Hero' event at Pier Sixty in New York City. Mimi's evening started off with a subway ride....in her ballgown! She arrived with Jermaine Durpri, exec producer of “Me. I Am Mariah . . . The Elusive Chanteuse", and BET exec Stephen Hill. JD tweeted, "So me @stephengranthill and @mariahcarey just step on the D train at 205th #nyc"
Mimi dazzled in an Atelier Versace dress, Sergio Rossi shoes, and Chanel gloves. How many security team people did she have around her though on that train? So extra...and we love it. The gala honored "Our American Hero" board member Mariah Carey, and celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Camp Mariah. For those who may not be familiar with the Fresh Air Fund, it provides free summer experiences in the country to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities.

NY Giants star Victor Cruz and his fiancee Elaina Watley looked very elegant on the red carpet. You'll recall the twosome turned a few heads at the 2014 MET Ball earlier this month as well. Stylist to the stars, June Ambrose, worked polka dots (on trend for this season). Broadway songstress Deborah Cox looked amazing. Deborah recently announced that she'll headline the Latino Carnival stage during LA Pride Week this summer. "The Real" co-host Adrienne Bailon will host a new reality show called "Nail'd It" for Oxygen later this year. The show will pit the country’s top nail designers against one another. Tiki Barber arrived with wife Traci Lynn Johnson. Victor posed with "Today" show anchor Al Roker. Lee Daniels, who's working on "Empire" for FOX, walked the red carpet in flip flops! During the dinner, June mingled with Jay Manuel, Deborah Cox and Amar'e & Alexis. Fab times. Photos via Mike Coppola/Getty Images North America/June Ambrose's Instagram  |
