Looking like she's fresh from a photoshoot, "American Idol" diva Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon took their twins Monroe and Moroccan to "Family Day" at the Santa Monica Pier in California yesterday.   

The family was flanked by big burly bodyguards and their entourage as MiMi brought out the cotton candy.

In her poofy gown and sunglasses, Monroe looked every bit the diva just like mommy.  And we love it!

Meanwhile, Roc was escorted through the fair by daddy.

But Monroe had some "Daddy & Me" time too.

Amazing.....even up in the air on a roller coaster, Mimi still manages to look picture perfect.  That's talent.

Chris Brown & Karrueche REUNITE--Over Gumbo!

Posted: 07 Oct 2012 08:06 AM PDT

It didn't take long for Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran to end up spending time together again.  The two supposed exes both hit up Christina Milian and her boo Jas Prince's Gumbo dinner party lasy night.

 

Deets inside...

Karrueche tweeted a pic of herself yesterday (above) looking much happier than her tweets have been sounding lately about her breakup with Chris Brown. 

Could it have been because she was on her way to Christina Milian & Jas Prince's dinner party with their friend King Cannon--where Chris would also be?    While Rihanna was overseas performing in Baku?

Chris Retweeted Jas' tweet last night about both he and Kae being there--plus a few other friends:

For these two to have broken up 5 minutes ago, they're surely extra lax about willingly being in the same place so soon.  But it could have been just that--two people that happened to be in the same place together.

And if you were wondering what this supposedly great gumbo of the year looks like--Christina tweeted a pic of her bowl.  She said:

Hookah and THE MOST DELICIOUS GUMBO I'VE EVER HAD. #amazing @itsv0n made it & I got to watch.. #bestever! #foodporn

Oh.

Oprah Winfrey Says She's NOT SURPRISED Rihanna REUNITED With Chris Brown

Posted: 06 Oct 2012 10:36 AM PDT

Oprah Winfrey said she wasn't surprised that Rihanna had reunited with beau Chris Brown, and then she offered a bit of advice to the pop diva. Find out what she said inside.....

 

As the world watched Rihanna tearfully recount her domestic dispute with Chris Brown, Oprah lent a listening ear.  And after being told, Friday night in Houston before her Lifeclass series, that the music superstars had reunited, she said, "I'm not surprised" and offered a bit of advice to RiRi.

She said to EXTRA, " [Rihanna] learned a lesson that she was repeating with Chris Brown — exactly what she needed to learn from her father. I think that if she is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him help himself then so be it. I have no judgment about it."

O continued, "That’s why I can sit there and have such a great time with her because I do all my interviews with no judgment whatsoever. If that’s how you choose to lead your life, that's really okay.”

And yes....that was Joel Osteen nodding with his approval in the background.
