| 35 YEARS And STILL GREAT: Happy Birthday Kanye West! Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:03 AM PDT He might have started out as a "College Dropout," but Kanye West has clearly moved to the front of the class and keeps getting better. Celebrate his 35th birthday inside..... Many people laughed at Mr. West when he first asked why people wouldn't let him be great? But now a few years later....Kanye is having the greatest laugh about all the haters. Kanye became a sought after superproducer, a clothing designer, a shoe designer, a film director, tour partner with Jay-Z and still continues to add to his list of talents. We're still not feeling this Kim Kardashian era--yeah, we're biased and want him with someone just as great. But dude will do HIM as always. And that's why we heart him. Kanye will be spending his b-day on The Throne in Dublin tonight. Check out Kanye's style in his birthday gallery below. Happy Birthday 'Ye! BONUS: Kimmy was spotted getting a $400,00 Lamborghini dropped off at her place yesterday. Birthday present for 'Ye? A present from 'Ye to her? Something she bought for herself? Who knows. But we do know she hopped a flight at LAX last night to get to Ireland for Kanye's birthday.  |

But Ocho took the high road about the situation saying, ''Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the ''Patriot'' organization... fans were ... wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best...'' But don't be worried about the financial status of the Ev & Ocho. Evelyn tweeted, "Aww baby you got cut @ochocinco I got your back! I'm the bread winner now, which means I make the rules! #Boom" Meanwhile, Chad's agent Drew Rosenhaus, says he is ''in the process of gauging interest from potential teams.''

| WILL THIS WORK?: "The Game" Casting New Couple To Replace "Derwin & Melanie" Storyline Posted: 07 Jun 2012 03:48 PM PDT *Slight Spoiler Alert* "The Game" has made a decision about how to replace their focal storyline characters Derwin & Melanie. Check out what's going down next season inside...
Now that Tia Mowry & Pooch Hall are officially OUT for season 6 of "The Game," the finale episode centered around the twosome heading off to Baltimore so that Melanie could pursue her residency at Johns Hopkins. What does that mean for next season of the show? According to reports, instead of just filling in 2 new actors to the Melanie/Derwin roles, the writers are pulling a "Single Ladies" and casting two new actors--one male and one female--to play different roles that will run parallel to the Melanie/Derwin storyline.
So the Ivy League athlete and the former child star wil likely hookup (or already come in as a couple) for a new main storyline. Who can you see playing 'Kiera' & 'Bryce'? We have a few folks in mind....  |
