| IT'S OFFICIAL: Amar'e Stoudemire WEDS Alexis Welch In PRIVATE Rooftop CEREMONY! Posted: 13 Dec 2012 09:31 AM PST
NY Knicks superstar Amar'e Stoudemire wed his fiancee Alexis Welch during a private ceremony at their home yesterday. Find out about the nuptials and get the pics inside.... Amar'e Stoudemire wed his "best friend" Alexis Welch yesterday in a private ceremony on the rooftop (on an extra cold NYC night) of the couples' Meatpacking District apartment in NYC. And even though Amar'e's currently on the injured list, he'll be making a big comeback--as a married man--at the Knicks' big Christmas Day game against the Lakers. The intimate affair was witnessed by the couples three children Amar’e Jr., Ar’e and Assata (shown atop) and seven family members. And instead of a traditional wedding dress, Alexis wore a custom designed garment while their kids also donned custom attire as well. Meanwhile, Amar'e wore a Calvin Klein tux under his draped attire.
Alexis' stunning engagement ring was designed by Shayan Afshar and Harry Glinberg created her wedding band. Amar'e wears an Afshar wedding band (shown above). Following the nuptials, the wedding party made a stop at the 12.12.12. Concert at MSG (we told you previously about their home and cars sustaining hurricane damage) and also a trip to STK for the reception. His NBA rep tells us Amar'e was quoted saying, "I feel blessed." And if you're wondering why such a high profile couple would have such a small seemingly impromptu wedding, a source told the NY Post, “Less than seven other people were there, no Knicks teammates. It was just about them. They are planning a big bash next year for friends and family to have a great time.” The couple, who got engaged last June at their Le Meurice Hotel Belle Etoile Royal Suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower, say they chose 12.12.12. to get married for spiritual reasons. Amar'e shared a special photo of their wedding rings saying "12.12.12 now has a special & spiritual meaning for us." Congrats to the newlyweds!

Evelyn Lozada is still celebrating her big PETA campaign unveil. And last night, at the Supper Club in L.A., Evelyn kept the party going with her "Basketball Wives" co-stars. Pics and deets inside... After unveiling her "I'd Rather Go Naked" campaign earlier this week with PETA, Evelyn's been partying it up, especially since the unveil coincided with her 37th birthday. The fab chick had some fun with her co-stars Shaunie O'Neal and newbie Tasha Marbury at the party--which had topless women being lowered from ceilings who were bringing drinks to the crowd.
She rocked a black lace jumpsuit by Jason Sky, and flaunted her curves with a peplum attachment around the waist.
But chick proved she could have rolled without it.
By the way, thanks to her folks at RoadStarr, author/fitness blogger Ev pulled up to her party in a Rolls Royce Ghost. And of course, she tweeted a pic of the nice ride. Photographer: Von Jackson |

There were rumors on the net last night that Frank Ski & Wanda Smith, the legendary hosts of the biggest urban radio morning show in Atlanta, would be leaving the station. And this morning, the hosts made the announcement after 14 years on the air... Frank Ski and Wanda will be leaving CBS radio's V103 in Atlanta as the #1 morning hosts in the city. It was a shock to the community as they are still in the midst of their send-off show. He announced he would be stepping away from his V103 family to pursue dreams and plans he has for himself. And about an hour later, Wanda announced the same. Steve Harvey called in while he was in the middle of his own radio show, and he hinted that this was due to a bad business decision by the station and "someone is making a huge mistake." He said that you don't let legends go because legends have a tendency to show back up in places you don't expect them to. Steve gushed they've been competitors and friends for years, but he will indeed find out what happened. Michael Baisden, Ricky Smiley and plenty other radio vets have called in during this morning's send off show. But Frank Ski said he doesn't plan to leave ATL, even though his home is now for sale. And next week will be their final days (not tomorrow as some are reporting), as Frank says he and Wanda want to see through their "Christmas List" shows. Frank, who also has a restaurant in Atlanta, maintains he's leaving because he wants to affect more people on a larger level. And it seems that CBS and the hosts could not come to an agreement about Frank expanding his empire--especially with him reportedly wanting a CBS tv show based around his radio life. That was apparently a no-go. Atlanta's in an uproar, despite the fact Frank & Wanda made their own decisions to leave. But many believe they were forced to make the decision as CBS would not cater to their expansion needs.
As for who will take over. Radio Facts reports Ryan Cameron, one of the top radio personalities on V103 in the afternoon, will move to the morning show timeslot. And as for who will take his show--former "106 & Park" host Big Tigger is in talks, reportedly, to move to Atlanta for that gig. Check out the Ustream going on right now (until 10am) from Frank & Wanda's show. Check out his full statement over at AJC. |

Gloria Govan stars in the second episode of the Clean Ops Series, "Do Unto Others." Watch the video inside and see Metta World Peace's video for "Represented." Now that we know Gloria Govan is "the reason" for the "BBW LA" spinoff, we see in the second episode of Clean Ops, titled "Do Unto Others," she's about to shut Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie down because she's also "the reason" Hollywood makes action movies. Written by Sylvia Hillman and Michael Anthony Snowden, and directed by Bernard Gourley, Gloria continues in the role of “V”, a classical ballerina/assassin in the second episode of the series, "Do Unto Others."
Watch "Do Unto Others" here:
In other videos..... Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace has released a clip for his "Represented" video. In the video, a shirtless Ron Artest proves he can run the streets with the best of the bad boys as he uses gritty lyrics to tell the story of his life. It isn't terrible...but it isn't necessary either. With song production by Lucky and the video produced by Mahad Dar, it's worth a look. |

| DO WE LOVE IT?: Jennifer Hudson's Sexy Black Lace Mini Dress For 2012 Nobel Peace Prize Concert Posted: 12 Dec 2012 11:45 AM PST
Jennifer Hudson was one of the performers at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2012 in Oslo, Norway yesterday (Wednesday). And she donned a leg-baring sexy look for the occasion. Decide if we love her look inside...
A Nobel Peace Prize concert wouldn't be the first place we would think of for where Jennifer Hudson would wear a dress like this. But did she pull it off? The singer hit the Oslo Spektrum in a Dolce & Gabbana black lace mini curve hugging frock with gold brocade embellished at the upper waist. Jenny's all about flaunting her new body in clothes she never would have worn before her 80 pound weight loss. And with her studded black platform pumps, she's indeed an eye catcher these days. And Ne-Yo, who also hit the stage with her, seemed to not have a prob with it either. So... DO WE LOVE IT?! |

| UH OH: Why Is Lamar Odom ALLEGEDLY PARTYING With OTHER Women And NOT His Wife Khloe Kardashian? Posted: 12 Dec 2012 10:46 AM PST
There may be trouble brewing in the marriage of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom as the NBA baller has been spotted out with several different woman over the past few weeks. And it's not the fertility issues this time. Get the deets inside.... The marriage of LA Clippers star Lamar Odom and "X Factor" host Khloe Kardashian may be on the rocks as In Touch reports three sightings of the baller with other women (while traveling with the team on road trips and in LA). First off, Teresa Witt, a partier at club Skkybar in Oklahoma City, says she saw Lamar with two brunettes on Nov. 20. She said, “He went out the back door, and it looked like he was about to leave. They were standing next to a cab. Both of the women were very thin brunettes in their late twenties, and when I saw them, I immediately wondered, ‘Why is Lamar in an alley in the middle of the night with two gorgeous girls?’” Messy. But that was just the beginning as one source close to the couple said he snuck two different women up to his Trump SoHo hotel room during Thanksgiving with the help of his driver. Khloe decided to stay in L.A. with her fam while Lamar was in NYC for a game. Then, folks in LA at Greystone Manor saw him with “a short blond girl” on Dec.9. The witness said they were, “...talking so close it looked like they were kissing. He seemed to be having the time of his life.”
These alleged sightings haven't seem to put a damper on Khloe's spirits though, even though she was spotted wearing a sweatshirt from Lamar's Rich Soil clothing line last week. Or....maybe she didn't know about this week's edition of In Touch? |
| Rihanna GETS SULTRY And SEDUCTIVE For Parisian TV Performance Posted: 12 Dec 2012 10:18 AM PST

Now we know why she was all dressed up earliler this week in Paris. Last night, "Diamonds" singer Rihanna performed on the "La Chanson De L'Annee 2012" television program in the romantic city. And looked fab while doing so.
Clad in a red fur coat, a midriff baring crop top and matching long tube skirt, she performed tracks from her Unapologetic album, which is a hit worldwide.
RiRi's song "We Found Love" was recently revealed to be the most played song in the US for 2012. Not surprised by that.
