Kim and Kris Humphries, T.I.
T.I. is still on the west coast promoting his first book. The rapper signed copies of his new novel “Power & Beauty” at Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica, California yesterday. Later that evening he dined with his entourage at celebrity hotspot BOA restaurant in West Hollywood.
Update: TMZ’s paparazzi stopped T.I. outside the restaurant and asked him to name the 4 strip clubs he frequents when he’s in the ATL. T.I. only named two of the clubs that he visits on a regular basis (Magic City and Onyx). There was no mention of Kamal’s 21, a strip club that one of his own employees works hard to promote.
Teyana Taylor & Her Boo Brandon Jennings
Funny how being in love can turn a tomboy into a smiley girly girl. The 20-year-old twerk-team-leader/actress/singer Teyana Taylor was spotted at the Under Armour Are You Here? Event in NYC with her boo, 22-year-old Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings.
After hitting up the Tower Heist premiere party a couple nights ago with Russell Simmons together, they hung out for the unveiling of the campaigns' new commercial and the company's new sportswear.
Brandon hung out with his homies Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Kemba Walker of the Charlotte Bobcats as well.Steve Stoute And Jay-Z Reveal Why Hip Hop Runs The Tanned World

Exclusive Interview: Bridget Kelly Gets Personal
So what’s the big deal about Bridget Kelly?
Sure she’s gorgeous. Sure she’s toured the world alongside Jay-Z, famously stepping in for Alicia
We recently caught up with Bridget Kelly at SOB’s and she discussed everything from the Alicia Keys comparisons to what it’s like to work with Jay-z and her biggest fear. Check it out below:
Tell me about Bridget Kelly. Who are you?
Well I hate doing my hair and wearing underwear. I’m a storyteller. And I’m the strongest most vulnerable, raw and unpredictable treat served up on a plate.Ha! Ok. No of course because most of the world first met you filling in for Alicia Keys on Jay’s ‘Empire State Of Mind’ – and not to mention your look and background (like Keys, Kelly is also biracial and from Manhattan) – how do you feel about the inevitable comparisons?
I love it. I love the Alicia comparisons. I think she’s brilliant. There’s no shame in being compared to Alicia. I’m a fan of her work and her movement and what she stands for for women.Tell us about working with Jay-Z and being signed to his Roc Nation imprint.
I was signed to Roc Nation the same time as J. Cole. At the time I was sort of in a different space. I thought I wanted to do very emo rock music, sort of like Alanis Morrisette or Pink. But then I headed out on the BP3 tour and got to really learn the business and all the many many different parts that go into developing and selling an artist and the experience was quite humbling. My very first show as an artist was Madison Square Garden.Wow! What have you learned form Jay?
I’ve learned a lot but the advice that’s stuck out the most came during a tour stop where I was sick and I sent him a text before the show letting him know that I was still going on but was under the weather. And he just said ‘It’s fine, just make sure no matter what, that you’re having fun.’ Jay has fun with everything that he does and that’s something I try to remember every day.Your first EP just dropped. What’s the theme of ‘Every Girl’?
Every Girl is a series of stories about real life experiences that every woman goes through. Every Girl expresses a powerful vulnerability and says the things that we all want to say but probably shouldn’t. It speaks for women and says ‘I’m fragile but not broken and just because I’m crying doesn’t mean I’m weak.’ And sometimes letting go isn’t the same as giving up. It’s about expressing your fears.What are you afraid of?
Hmmm. I think deep down inside I’m scared that as my career advances, I’m going to eventually forget the satisfaction of the simple pleasures in life. I never want to be the person that trades my real friends for friends with yachts.
Bridget Kelly is raw, candid, and perhaps more like every girl that you’d expect. Look for a video for the single ‘Seek & Destroy’ soon.
You can download the EP HERE.

Was This Knicks Player Actually Kim's First Choice To Be “Mr. Kardashian”?
And now comes a new report that Kris wasn’t Kim’s first choice to be her basketball beau. In fact, according to Wetpaint.com before the brunette beauty met her new husband, Kim was so eager to date a basketball player that E! were calling around teams to matchmake with NBA athletes, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Wetpaint claim that E! Television staff contacted the New York Knicks to ask if hunky Italian basketball star Danilo Gallinari would be interested in dating Kim. “They asked if he would be interested in dating her and being on a reality show,” a source told the website.
According to the insider, both E! and Kim were interested in having her date a big New York athlete for the debut season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, which premiered in January 2011.
“Danilo said he would love to meet Kim but was not interested in dating her or being on a reality show,” revealed the insider, who added: “Even though E! explained it would be great for his career, Gallinari turned the offer down.”
Did they then move on the New York metro area’s other NBA team, the Nets, to set her up with a ‘ball star?
Kim has said that she met her future husband after attending a basketball game in New Jersey with a friend. When she told the pal how adorable she found Kris, Kim’s friend, who happened to know another player on the team, set up a group dinner, reported Wetpaint.
After spending last season courtside at the New Jersey Nets games cheering Kris and ultimately walking down the aisle with him last August, it makes you wonder if E! made the same offer to the Nets – and they didn’t turn it down!
Wetpaint Entertainment contacted the Nets spokesperson and they declined comment, but considering the current NBA lockout, no team is allowed to comment on their players.

Eva Marcille’s Reality Show Gets The Greenlight From Oxygen
The “Eva Marcille Project (wt)” is a docu-soap about four beautiful and successful best friends who help each other navigate the tumultuous waters of love, celebrity life, and the entertainment industry. These women are not just another set of beautiful faces; they are also intelligent and business savvy women who are not afraid to push the boundaries in all aspects of their lives. At the epicenter of this group of friends is Eva Marcille (“America’s Next Top Model), fashion model, actor, producer and recent television host of Oxygen’s “Hair Battle Spectacular.”
Her group of best friends includes Denyce Lawton, an accomplished actress who starred in Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne” on TBS, Nikki Chu, a dynamic interior and product designer who has designed for several celebrities and major brands and Kelly Marie Dunn, a talent and brand manager who has worked with A-list musicians and pop stars. The “Eva
Marcille Project” is produced by Ish Entertainment with Michael Hirschorn, Madison Merritt and Wendy Roth serving as executive producers.
Ryan Leslie Sued for Refusing To Hand Over $1 Milli Laptop Reward
Almost a year ago, Ryan lost his beloved laptop while in Cologne, Germany which housed all of the music he had been working on for his ‘Les Is More’ album. He reportedly wanted his lap top back so bad that he was willing to cough up a $1 million reward to whomever would return it to him. He told MTV:
“I lost my computer out here in
Germany . I actually had my whole new album on there, which I had been working on in secret, and it got stolen. So right now I got a million-dollar reward for anybody that can return my intellectual property to me”
A German man named Armin Augstein is now suing Ryan over that $1 milli, saying he found the laptop, still in its case, while walking his dog. [Suspect] Armin turned it over to police and according to the suit that was filed in the Manhattan federal court, he consistently emailed Ryan but his requests were ignored.
Problem is, Ryan made it known on Twitter, YouTube, and in interviews that he was offering a 1 million dollar reward, so it isn’t like he can go back on his word. Why in the world did he offer up such a big reward if he wasn’t willing to pay it?
Here’s video of him raising the reward from 20,000 to one million:
Rapper Jim Jones I'm Too Baller For Public Transportation
Jones pled guilty to driving on a suspended license after his arrest in March -- but Jones tells TMZ, it's no big deal ... because now his driver takes him everywhere he needs to go ... guy even drives Jim's kid to school.
The "Love & Hip Hop" star says the cost of hiring the driver is worth it because he doesn't want to end up in jail for another driving violation -- and he feels he's too famous in NYC to take public transportation.
If Catherine Zeta-Jones can ride the subway, anyone can.

Beyonce Talks Pregnant Fashion…
On shopping for maternity gear to wear:Actually I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced and I don’t have to, you know, it was really difficult to conceal, but now that I can be proud and excited about it I’m having so much fun shopping — it’s great.
On why she is relieved to have finally gone public with pregnancy:
I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced and I don’t have to, you know… it was really difficult to conceal, but now I can be proud and excited about it.
On her attitude towards style and fashion since learning she was pregnant:
I just feel like it is often within. My mother has always told me that beauty comes from within and what’s exciting about being a woman is you can say today I feel like being, today I feel really conservative, today I’m feeling classy, today I am going on a date and I want to just be a showstopper and you know there is this variety of beautiful clothes that can bring out whatever you feel inside but it comes from here and you should wear your clothes they shouldn’t wear you.
