HAPPILY DIVORCED? REPORT -- Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian FINALLY Reach A SETTLEMENT! Posted: 19 Apr 2013 09:24 AM PDT After 536 days of fighting over a 72 day marriage, a settlement has been reached between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, ending their 72 day marriage.  Get the deets inside.....   Though they spent more time divorcing than they were actually married, a "confidential" settlement has finally been reached in the divorce battle between Brooklyn Nets balled Kris Humphries and his ex-bride Kim K.  Though both camps have been silent thus far, (except for the "confidential" leak to TMZ which likely came from the Kardashians), it's expected that an announcement will be made in court today. As both parties have racked up nearly $300,000 in court fees, we imagine Kim and Kris were both tired of depositions, fighting in the press and being summoned to court.  Plus, despite the seemingly obvious evidence, Kris couldn't prove Kim was fraudulent in getting him to marry her for her show. Though Kim is expected in court today (since she lives in LA and doesn't have a "job" that ties her down), Kris will likely miss the hearing (as he did others due to his JOB) because he's preparing for the NBA playoffs across the country in Jersey.  No word on why his lawyer didn't negotiate for dates he could actually make it.  Reportedly, the settlement was likely reached after Kris caved in on wanting an "annulment" versus a "divorce."  The change means he won't have to prove that Kim committed fraud when she married him. As least now, Kim is free to marry Kanye West before their child is born...but since 'Ye's already stuck for 18 years...will he want to wife her up right away?

TRIBECA FILM FEST CHICKS: Vivica Fox & Taraji P. Henson Hit The Events Posted: 19 Apr 2013 07:50 AM PDT "Person of Interest" star Taraji P. Henson stepped out in NYC yesterday to hit up a few Tribeca Film Fest events.  We've got her stylish look inside, plus Vivica Fox also hitting the Fim Fest.... One of our fave fly chicks, Taraji P. Henson, made her way to the Juror Welcome Lunch during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival at Tribeca Grill Loft in NYC yesterday.  Taraji may be serving as one of the "jurors" to judge the movies being shown. We're loving her nude mesh peep toe with a blacl patent vertical stripe Reed Krakoff boots.  She paired them with a black high slit maxi skirt and a leather sleeved jacket.  Very downtown...very fly. She posed it up inside with artist John Forte.  By the way, she hit up Coachella last weekend to see Wu Tang Clan.  Her teen son Marcel is lucky to have one of the cool moms.   And over at the 'At Any Price' screening at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema, Viva took in the movie that was part of the Tribeca Fim Fest in this yellow and white plaid skirt suit and a dreaded stark white shoe y'all know we always have issues with.  Definitely a 60's vibe going on here:   You feelin' it?  We've got our thoughts....   Photo Credit: Splash/INF

FIT CHICK: Jordin Sparks Covers "Women's Running" Magazine, Says Boyfriend Jason Derulo MOTIVATES Her To Stay Fit Posted: 19 Apr 2013 07:18 AM PDT Singer and actress Jordin Sparks covers the May 2013 issue of WOMEN'S RUNNING where she reveals her workout snacks, what she listens to when she jogs and what motivates her to stay in shape.  See the highlights inside...   In the May 2013 issue of WOMEN'S RUNNING, Sparkle actress and singer Jordin Sparks opens up about what she does to maintain her fabulous curves.  And, she shares her weight loss journey and gives useful fitness, eating and confidence tips that helped her get ready for bathing suit season. She also talked about her workout playlists, her dream of running with Fergie and her relationship with singer-songwriter boyfriend, Jason Derulo. Here are the highlights: On Biggest Inspirations: “Watching my dad was one of my biggest inspirations.” “There are days I don’t want to get up, let alone run, and Jason’s a great motivator.” On her music of choice while running? “Kanye West, Jay Z…and I listen to Jason a lot. I can’t help that—it’s just nice to hear his voice. I’ve also been listening to some new up-tempo stuff of my own that I’m excited for people to hear.” On her dream Running Buddy? “Fergie” On her snacks of choice? “Baby Carrots, Instant Maple-Brown Sugar Oatmeal, Almonds, Apples, Bananas, Clementines, and La Croix Sparkling Water” On her workout routine? “I put my iPod on shuffle and let the song’s pace determine my interval. If it’s a slow song, I turn the incline way up and jog to the beat. If a faster song comes on, I turn the incline down and watch the miles fly by.”   Check out some behind the scenes photos from Jordin's shoot: At the photo shoot, she sang along to “Thrift Shop”, Nelly’s “Must Be the Money” and her favorite song of the moment One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”.  A One Direction song would be her fave song...right? Towards the end of the shoot, Jordin's sexy boyfriend Jason Derulo dropped in  to surprise her.  How cute are these two!     Photos via Women's Running, Courtesy of WireImage/ Mike Windle

Jay-Z Speaks: "My Job As An Owner Is Over...But I'll Always Be A Brooklyn Net!" Posted: 19 Apr 2013 06:49 AM PDT Jay-Z has spoken out for the first time about selling his ownership stake in the Brooklyn Nets.  Check out the explanation straight from the horse's mouth inside... As previously reported, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter will relinquish his ownership in the NBA Brooklyn Nets franchise in order to embark on his new venture of Roc Nation Sports. The TIME Magazine Most Influential 100 People In The World cover guy took to his own Life+Times website this morning to give people his own explanation.  And to re-confirm his love for BK.  Check out his statement in full below: Being a member of the Nets organization surpassed some of my greatest ambitions. It was never about an investment; it was about the NETS and Brooklyn. My job as an owner is over but as a fan it has just begun. I’m a Brooklyn Net forever. It’s been an honor to work with Mikhail Prokhorov, Dmitry Razumov, Christophe Charlier, ONEXIM Sports and Entertainment, Brett Yormark and all the wonderful people involved in making the Nets first class. My sincerest thanks goes to Bruce Ratner, who first introduced the idea of moving the Nets to Brooklyn. A thank you and deepest appreciation goes to the fans. You are the lifeblood of any team. The Nets have made their mark on the NBA and as they enter a new era, Roc Nation does as well; as we embark on Roc Nation Sports. Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today’s top music artists. For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets. It was a tough decision but as I stated earlier, it’s not about ownership. Congratulations to The Nets on a great season and making the playoffs! I will always be a Brooklyn Net.   Hov may have officially left the building...but you'll probably be seeing his and everybody else's diamonds up courtside during the playfoffs....

BUSTED: Big Sean SNAPPED Partying With A CLIQUE Of STRIPPERS Posted: 19 Apr 2013 05:24 AM PDT When the cat's away......Big Sean will play.  See the secretly snapped photo that shows the "Clique" rapper letting his fingers do the talking with a stripper inside... As G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean puts the final touches on his sophomore disc, Hall Of Fame, he was busted blowing off some steam at a private party with a "Clique" of strippers.  Since his "Dance (A$$)" track became an anthem for many ladies who work the pole, it's not surprising that Big Sean would enjoy a lap dance every now and then.  But since he just went public with his relationship with "Glee" star Naya Rivera, we just thought he'd curb his behavior...a little. Or at least be smart enough to not let your homies Instagram the ish. In the pic, which was snapped at a private party and posted on Instagram yesterday, he seems to be indulging in skripper behavior with his hands are all over the stripper's genitalia. It doesn't mean he's cheating though...it could just be a case of boys beings boys. Photos via Instagram

Lauryn Hill EVICTED For Not Paying Rent! Posted: 19 Apr 2013 05:21 AM PDT Lauryn Hill may be gearing up to go from one big house...to another.  She's being sued by her landlord for eviction.  Deets inside... As she prepares for her sentencing next week for tax fraud, Lauryn's landlord is pissed she skipped out on paying rent last month.   Lauryn's been renting a mansion in South Orange, NJ since 2009.  TMZ reports her landlord filed court documents demanding her to pay up or GET OUT!  Apparently, she didn't come off any dollars, so the lawsuit for eviction is a GO.  Right now, she's technically a squatter. And if she gets sentenced to prison for tax fraud next week, she'll be moving out that house anyway and into the other big house. Extras: 1.  Reports say one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has been killed, another still at large, after a massive shoot out with police yesterday in Watertown, Massachussetts.  STORY   Photo Credit: Splash

NeNe Leakes OFFICIALLY Greenlit For "I Dream Of NeNe" Wedding Spinoff, Her Half Sister Is Threatening To EXPOSE Her! Posted: 18 Apr 2013 07:28 PM PDT NeNe Leakes' much talked abut spinoff show is official.  Her wedding special, "I Dream Of NeNe" will air on Bravo soon.  Deets inside, plus the newest drama with NeNe's half sister who's threatening to EXPOSE her! She's planning a re-wedding with her ex husband Gregg Leakes.  And, of course, it'll be all captured for the BRAVO cameras as the network has ordered a full order of NeNe's new wedding themed spinoff show, "I Dream Of NeNe." NeNe's enlisting Tiffany Cook for her nuptials (the same person who did co-star Porsha Stewart's wedding) and Marlo Hampton will return as part of her bridal party.  Co-star Cynthia Bailey is reportedly also a bridesmaid. The show will premiere this fall, so get ready.  NeNe's also made another appearance as Coach Roz tonight on "Glee," and is waiting to see if the NBC show "The New Normal," which she also stars in, gets renewed.   But it isn't all white roses on the home front for Mrs. Leakes.  Her half sister Kenya Sherman (pictured above side by side with her and NeNe's mom)--you know, the one she accused co-star Phaedra Parks of contacting, filming with and using to dig up dirt on NeNe--is extra pissy these days. Apparently, Kenya wasn't feeling everything NeNe was saying during last Sunday's reunion show when she was going hard at Phaedra for having ill intentions for inviting said half sister to baby Ayden's birthday party. The half sister says NeNe has cut off ties with her and the rest fo the family,a nd she's pissed she's acting like the victim.  Now, half sister Kenya has been using her Twitter account to threaten to expose NeNe. Apparently, some family drama went down--that involved money and schemes headed off by NeNe & Gregg that affected the family--and things haven't been right since. And we hear all that tea was spilled during filming of this past season when Phaedra got half sister Kenya to come sit down with her to dish on camera.  Some type of mysterious way, THAT footage ended up on the cutting room floor.  Kenya tweeted: I DID FILM FOR A BDAY PARTY ON RHOA BUT @NeNeLeakes THREATEN TO QUIT SHOW & THEY DIDNT SHOW IT #TRUTH Kenya, who calls herself a "successful" celebrity hairstylist who lives in Atlanta, is also pissed NeNe keeps calling her HALF sister, since they have the same mom.  I mean, technically, they ARE half sisters.  But I feel what she's saying... Anywho, here's what Kenya's been saying on her Twitter: Hey well at least we know ppl can manipulate networks just to get a FREE wedding & exposure SMH it's funny how some ppl will lie cheat steal & even throw their family under the bus for FAME #illuminati? No just a #FRAUD I'm not doin this to defame @NeNeLeakes BUT to clear up the "sex, lies & reality tv" hype to "FAME" I'm NOT half sis to @NeNeLeakes we have the SAME mother we are biological & she lived with me when she met Greg #KnowAllTheTea I'm estranged sis of @neneleakes & there's more than what meets the public or reality tv eye #trust Oh, but there's more.  Kenya posted the above pic as today's Throwback Thursday image just to prove her point even further.  She said, "Me and my sisters." And it's Kenya's Twitter profile description that has us in tears: ESTRANGED & BIOLOGICAL SISTER TO @NENELEAKES (Only if @bravotv knew about the #rhoa diva as I do) & Owner of Salon N.Y.C Celebrity Stylist & Custom Wig Maker Chiiiile.....aint nothing like family foolery....

REALITY DRAMA: Kandi Burruss Vs. Kim Zolciak VIEWER NUMBERS + Selita Ebanks' New Post-Break Up Reality Show + Keyshia Cole's EX-Hairstylist POPS OFF Posted: 18 Apr 2013 05:49 PM PDT BRAVO viewers seem more interested in Kim Zolciak than her frenemy Kandi Burruss, as Kandi failed to garner huge ratings for her reality spinoff. Find out how Kandi's show did inside and get the deets on Selita Ebanks upcoming series and how Keyshia Cole got on her ex-hairstylist's bad side.   Former "RHOA" co-stars Kandi Burruss and Kim Zolciak are preparing to battle both on TV and in the court of law.  Armed with the masterful legal guns of Phaedra Parks (snickers), Kandi is suing Kim over money owed from the song she wrote "Don't Be Tardy For The Party."  That's battle number one! Their second battle is being fought on BRAVO as the Housewives are all known to be very competitive when it comes to ratings.  And while the two haven't battled in court yet, Kim seems to be winning the ratings war. Last week, "The Kandi Factory" debuted to 671,000 viewers (which is disappointing for BRAVO). This week, the execs put Kandi's show after the debut of Kim's spinoff "Don't Be Tardy" which had 1,157,000 it's first half hour and 1,259,000 viewers its second half hour. Though "The Kandi Factory" aired after Kim's strong lead-in, she only gained about a 1,000 viewers when compared to her first week numbers. So reports state fans tuned on for Kim...and turned off for Kandi.  Womp. America loves a blonde chick with no job who has a sugar daddy, a new husband  and 4 kids. And to make it even worse, 800,000 folks came back to BRAVO after The Kandi Factory went off the air so they could see "Watch What Happens Live" where Kim chatted it up with Andy Cohen!  Kandi may not win the ratings war, but we're sure she and Pha Pha will win in court.    Also in reality tv news.... Selita Ebanks has revealed the working title for her new STYLE Network reality show, "Selita." Produced by 51 Minds the docu-series will follow the Victoria's Secret model as she embarks on a new chapter in her life at the ripe old age of 30. Now that's she's ended a two-year relationship with TV personality Terrence J, Selita will focus on expanding her brand beyond modeling and launch a clothing line. So far, no air date has been set.  Good luck with this one...   In other reality drama.... The hairstylist who worked with Keyshia Cole on her BET "Family First" series is apparently pissed at her. Referring to her as "late", we were tipped off that she owes him money and isn't returning his calls.   He posted a series of pics on Instagram that describe his feelings towards the singer. We guess Keyshia doesn't pay for her weaves and extensions up front......   We hope the Lord answers his prayers and delivers a cash payment on Keyshia's behalf.  Good luck boo.   Photos via Instagram

NFLer Kerry Rhodes REMAINS SILENT As "Alleged" Ex-Boyfriend SPILLS The TEA On Their Sexual Relationship, Laughs It Up At The Lakers Game With Karina Smirnoff Posted: 18 Apr 2013 04:28 PM PDT Though he denied being "gay" a few days ago, former Arizona Cardinals baller Kerry Rhodes has remained silent as his alleged ex-lover Russell "Hollywood" Simpson has exposed intimate details of their alleged--yet photographed with some suspcious proof--relationship.  Read Kerry's denial and listen peep the controversial interview with the "scorned" ex-boyfriend inside....   Since the "outing" of Magic Johnson's son E.J. a few days ago, the positive reactions of high profile individuals like Magic Johnson (who's offered his support) and the National Hockey League (who've partnered with the You Can Play organization) have paved the way for the professional athletes to come out of the closet.  And with rumors that there would be four NFL players making their announcement "sooner than you think", it wasn't much of a surprise when suggestive photos of former Arizona Cardinals player Kerry Rhodes (shown above un-fazed at last night's LA Laker's game with "DWTS" star Karina Smirnoff), hit the internet.  But Kerry says he wasn't one of the "first four" since he quickly issued a denial about the gay rumors to TMZ a few days ago saying, "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation." "I am not gay." "The shots were taken during a past vacation in a casual environment with my entire business team." The photos in question show Kerry and Russell on vacay frolicing on the beach, canoodling in beach chairs (could have just been two buddies having close small talk?), sipping out of coconuts and more.  But Kerry cleared up speculation that he might be a part of the "first four" saying, "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort." While Kerry's denial might have cleared things up for the NFL (he's currently a free agent),  it REALLY pissed off his alleged ex-boyfriend/assistant Russell. Russell, who left any notion of being just the alleged boyfriend at the door, gave a VERY detailed interview to BallerAlert about his intimate relationship with Kerry.  he said things like:   "They said 'Well maybe he loved him like a little brother. Listen, if he loved me like a little brother, he f**ked me like a wife!" *Clutches Pearls* Here are a few highlights from Russell's interview.  And by the way, we're all for being YOU.  You aont gotta lie to kick it.   So if this is your boo Kerry, it's only right you claim that man.  People get hurt when they're not claimed.  But if it's all lies and cries for attention, carry on. On Meeting Kerry "I met Kerry about a year and a half ago when I went to Arizona for an assistant job. Me and my friend Alton went to Kerry's game. Kerry was injured at the time so he came up to our suite. He was interested in knowing who I was. He was looking for a new assistant and was interested in me and Alton. He wanted us to assist him." I got to know Kerry and we became very close. I moved in with Kerry at his home in Arizona. At first we were just friends and we were getting to know eachother. Then we got into a relationship. We were in a relationship for a whole year. I was there, people knew who I was, they saw me as his top assistant. I handled everything for him. No one went to Kerry for anything." On starting a relationship with Kerry "Of course he came on to me. I'm too fabulous to come on to anybody. That's not what I do. I have a lot of men that come on to me. I don't come on to men because I don't know what time it is for you. I would never come on to a man. Honestly, a lot of gay guys are like me. A lot of gay guys don't come on to guys. It's always the other way around. It's always the manly ones. Of course I wouldn't come on to anybody. Yes, I thought he was attractive but I thought he liked girls." On why he's speaking out and if he leaked pics to TMZ The first set of pictures, I don't know how they got out because I did not put them out. If you go on my Facebook page you will see the same pictures but I always crop him out because it was nobody's business. Now what pissed me off about the whole situation is when he and I stopped talking and the pics got out. He said that he was NOT gay. To me he shouldn't have said sh**. If you're not going to tell the truth, don't try to make me look stupid. This is what I say: You can play Nintendo, You play XBox, You play lottery, You Don't Play Hollywood! We reached out to Kerry's rep for comment earlier today and got no response.  It's interesting to note that Kerry quickly issued a denial about the pics...but he has yet to respond to Russell's tell-all interview. Perhaps he's falling back and taking Russell's advice to just not say anything. Listen to "Hollywood" spill all the piping hot & citrusy tea below:   Photos via Getty

ON THE SET: Ray-J's "I Hit It First" Video Posted: 18 Apr 2013 01:47 PM PDT Ray-J is shooting the video for his new single "I Hit It First."  Yeah, this dude is really going through with this.  Check out the Kim K. look-a-likes (and other chicks) who were on set for the video inside... The video for Ray-J's masterpiece "I Hit It First" is on the way. In the behind the scenes footage below, Ray shows all the media attention the song is getting (not a difficult accomplishment when you say words like "just remember I hit it first" with a Kim K. figure as your single cover).  And then he takes the cameras on the L.A. set with all the chicks he auditioned for the role.  He keeps saying the song is not about 1 person in particular, but it could be applicable to Kim and others.  Ok Ray-J. On another note, WHO is this "Bobby Brackins" and this whispy mouse voice?? And in case you were wondering what Kim's been looking like lately in her non-maternity maternity wear.  Pics of her out to lunch in Beverly Hills today: Really wish her sis Kourtney would take over as her maternity stylist....   Photos: INF

Kelly Rowland, The Dream, Lisa Bonet & Jason Momoa, Terrence J., Rocsi, Dawn Richard & Plenty More JAM OUT With Gary Clark Jr. Posted: 18 Apr 2013 12:22 PM PDT Kelly Rowland, The Dream, Jesse Williams and Larenz Tate came out to support guitar-virtuoso Gary Clark Jr. in concert this week.  See pics from the jam-fest inside...   Earlier this week, rock and soul guitar-virtuoso Gary Clark Jr. (above--whose music is described as Texas Blues) performed before a sold-out audience at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood. Shown above with Warner Bros. COO Livia Ortella, Gary is one of the most prominent guitarists in the music industry. And with his music being featured in movies like Think Like A Man, and the Don Cheadle-led series "House of Lies," the singer/actor has amassed a cult following of hipster celebs. Kelly Rowland, who had just left Fantasia's listening party, came out to support Gary.  Super producer The Dream was spotted posing with tv personalities Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz. Actress Lisa Bonet was spotted with her hot man, actor Jason Momoa. Larenz Tate, who has a recurring role on "House Of Lies", watched the concert from atop one of the VIP banquettes.      "Braveheart" singer Dawn Richard was there.    Russell Simmons was seen posing with British folk singer Lianne La Havas.

Malcolm Jamal-Warner was there.....with no Regina King in sight. Hmmm... 49-year-old fitness expert and actress AJ Johnson gave all the young chicks a run for their money.  Former child star and "DWTS" contestant Jaleel White checked out the concert with "Psych" acter Dule Hill. And DJ D-Nice keep the crowd moving on the 1s and 2s.  Seems like everybody was in that piece.  Nice!   Photos via Araya Diaz

Derrick Rose's Baby's Mama Mieka Shows Off Jr. At The Bulls Game....And Kicks It With Weezy's Baby Mama Sarah Vivan Posted: 18 Apr 2013 11:18 AM PDT The mother of Chicago Bulls (injured) star Derrick Rose's son, Mieka, usually stays under the radar.  But we've got pics inside of her hanging out with their baby boy and Lil Wayne's baby moms, Sarah Vivan, at last night's Bulls game...   So...these two are good friends it seems. Baller Derrick has been great friends with Lil Wayne for a while now, so it's only right D-Rose's baby moms becomes besties with one of Weezy's.  So Mieka and Sarah Vivan spent last night cheering on the Bulls with baby Derrick "P.J." Rose, Jr.  Sarah snapped a few pics with the little one below and with Mieka above:   How cute!  PJ is 6 months old and reppin' his dad from head to toe. Mieka posted a few other pics of herself on her way to previous games, like the one above.  Looks like she and Derrick are still on as a couple...   Photos: Instagram

NOT AGAIN! VOGUE Netherlands Uses "Blackface" For CONTROVERSIAL Editorial Posted: 18 Apr 2013 09:59 AM PDT VOGUE Netherlands has joined the growing list of European publications putting non-Black models in blackface.   See the controversial pics inside and speak your piece on the "blackface" craze in fashion magazines.... As the "blackface" craze continues, it's beginning to look like European fashion editors and photographers are under the assumption that the world is lacking beautiful BLACK models worthy of their editorials.  Or that there's no harm in painting non-black faces black for "creative" purposes. We told you a while ago about French fashion magazine Numéro using a white model to pay tribute to African Queens and now, Vogue Netherlands has used a white model to pay tribute to Grace Jones and Josephine Baker! In the editorial, which was intended to honor Marc Jacobs' 2008 and 2009 seasons (which took inspiration from Grace and Josephine), Vogue Netherlands painted model Querelle Jansen's face black and used wigs to mimic the texture of black hair.  This follows a long list of other fashion mags (Vogue Paris, L'Officiel Hommes, V) that have all used blackface in recent years.  We have to ask....were all the Black chicks booked for other gigs? It's no wonder the winner of "The Face" , Devyn Abdullah, didn't want to be identified as "Black" since European mags don't seem to hire Black models....even when the editorial is tributing someone of African descent! Should Black readers (around the world) be outraged at this outright refusal to use Black models?  Or do we just say anyone of any color should be able to portray black figures...in black face... SPEAK ON IT!
