Posted: 18 Sep 2011 08:48 AM PDT

Ahead of next month's 2 part "wedding special", pics have leaked out from the ceremony of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.  We've got a few of the pics featuring her "besties" Ciara, Lala, Trina, and Serena, inside...

For the black and white themed wedding, all the ladies threw on their black and white best for the occassion.  Serena looked hot in a white cocktail dress with black piping.  Lala rocked a black strapless cocktail dress with a ruffled waist.  Ciara did a long slinky black number with a gold strap.  And Trina rocked a long white number with a high slit and black lace trim.

CiCi kicked it with the bride Kim-who was wearing her second wedding dress of the night--and George Lopez.

Scottie Pippen forgot his facial lotion at home and laughed it up with groom Kris.

Kris' parents seemed uber happy.

Kris' Nets coach Avery Johnson and his wife were there.  They're a fab couple by the way--super nice and super fun.

And Kris' sister Kaela was also a bridesmaid along with Kim's other sisters Kendall, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kylie.  Look at lil Mason...

Will you be watching the seemingly non-stop special on E!?

DEREON IN LONDON! Beyonce & Mama Tina Launch House of Deréon At Selfridges

Posted: 18 Sep 2011 07:24 AM PDT

The Knowles chicks and their House of Deréon empire have officially expanded into London.  Beyonce & Tina Knowles have brought their mother-daughter act across the pond.  And they had the official launch last night at Selfridges with a runway show--as it is London Fashion Week.

 

Pics of the ladies rocking all black and a few of the celebs who came out to support inside...

Bey looked gorgeous as usual and covered her baby bump with a black sequins jacket and mathing blak sequins pants and her sky high black pumps.  While Mama Tna kept it chic also in all black, but with a leather crop jacket, a flowy top, and leggings:

Clearly Miss Tina went under the knife again.  But chick is looking all kinds of fabulous pushing 60.

We're no fan of the typical HOD getups.  But this one right here is cute.  Doubt it'll be on shelves though.

Bey & Tina posed with Eliza Doolittle and designer Kenneth Cole.

Self-proclaimed Beyonce stan Alexandra Burke was there.

Wonder what was so funny.

The Roc's new singer Rita Ora was there in a nude Deréon dress.

And a glimpse of the looks that were strutted for the crowd:

You feelin' it?

Raven Symone Gets CANCELLED!

Posted: 17 Sep 2011 02:08 PM PDT

Well damn. Raven Symone must not have made the best impression on her ABC Family bosses with the first season of her "State of Georgia" show.  Because it just got the axe.

 

Deets inside...

Raven made her tv comeback this summer with her "State of Georgia" 30-minute sitcom, centered around an aspiring actress who leaves the South to become a big star.  But ABC Family just cancelled it saying the show failed to attract viewers.

The network ran 4 of her new episodes back to back several weeks ago seeming to push out the last of the shows as quickly as they could. 


 

Oh wells.  We were pulling for this one...

Angela Simmons Rings In Her Birthday....With Her Ex Bow Wow!

Posted: 17 Sep 2011 11:56 AM PDT

These two always seem to find themselves back to each other.  Either as friends or as more than friends.  Angela Simmons turns 24 tomorrow.  And she partied it up at Club Play in Miami last night to kick off her b-day weekend....with her ex-boyfriend Bow Wow.  Yep...he's still trying to get back in Angie's good graces.

 

Pics and deets on Bow still trying to get that old thing back inside...

Our source inside the YMCMB camp who actually rolled with Bow Wow to the party tells us the only reason Bow hit up Club Play was to be with Angela.  And said source confirmed the obvious.  Bow is still very much in love with Angela and is still trying to make up for the cheating/having a baby by a video chick (Joie) situation.  So he's continuously going out of his way to prove it.  Like popping up at her birthday party.

 

The twosome actually chatted a bit before Angela blew out her candles.

Dude is trying real hard even a year later...


Fab birthday times for Angela though!
