NEW CANDIDS: USHER IN ENGLAND; COMEDIAN CHRIS TUCKER IN BEVERLY HILLS.

With the release of his fourth studio album right around the corner, Usher knew it would behoove him greatly to take the time to put his bitchassness to the side and appease his England fans with autographs and peace signs while strolling through the streets of London today.



=========================

Below are pics of comedian Chris Tucker leaving a medical facility in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. If Gail Webb has her way, Chris may be court-ordered to undergo a paternity test to see if he's the father of Webb's two-year-old daughter Krista Jane. Webb, who says Tucker is a deadbeat dad and bailed out on her and their relationship when she became pregnant, is demanding the 35-year-old actor to pay child support for her daughter. But there's just one problem: Tucker says he has no idea who this woman is nor has he ever met her. Unless he's lying, ol girl may have some personal (and mental) issues she may want to address to herself!

NEW PICS: OUTTAKES FROM KIM KARDASHIAN'S CALENDAR PHOTOSHOOT FOR REGGIE; ADMITS TO CELLULITE REMOVAL PROCEDURE.


For someone who prides herself on being a role model to any and every young girl who admires and idolizes her (including her two pre-teen sisters), Kim Kardashian never hesitates to place that same 'role model' role on the back burner long enough to take off her clothes to not only 'earn' that almighty dollar. Talk about being generous! First she places her goodies on display in a soft-porn video (which netted her a cool $5 mil) with ex-boyfriend Ray J. for all the world to see. Then after bitching about how she never leaked her own sex tape, she goes and bares it all again in Playboy magazine....again for all the world to see. As if keeping what's left of her assets for Reggie's eyes only, Kim comes up with an 'unique and special' idea to bestow upon Reggie in honor of their one-year anniversary: a personalized calendar featuring what else? Her assets. What's a dude like Reggie to do when every man--young and old (including his daddy, step-daddy, brothers, play cousins, teammates, coaches and haters), woman--gay or straight, and child (perish the thought, but hey, it happens) has seen his girlfriend in all of her glory? What's really left to the imagination? On the other hand, can you knock this girl's hustle?

Judging from this week's previews of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Reggie had a bit of a problem (which I don't understand because she's done worse) standing in on Kim's calendar photoshoot while male photographers snapped away as his girlfriend posed for one sexy take after another...kinda like she did for her Playboy magazine shoot except for this photoshoot, she had on more clothes....and showed less cellulite. That's right. The love she has for her man is so deep, Kim confessed to receiving cellulite removal treatments to make sure her photos were up to par. She blogged about it on her website:

CONTINUE READING....AND FOR ALL YOU GUYS WHO ARE FEELING A BIT SALTY AT THE FACT THAT KIM'S HAS GIVEN REGGIE A CUSTOMIZED CALENDAR, DON'T FRET. SHE'S TOO GENEROUS TO LEAVE THE REST OF YOU HANGING. KIND KIMMY HAS A TREAT FOR YOU ALL TOO. CLICK 'READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP' FOR MORE DETAILS.

"With all of this cellulite talk you guys must think I've got it bad! For the record, it's really not that bad at all! Just a little junk in the trunk! ;) Here is how it all got started...This Sunday of Keeping Up With The Kardashians you will get to see my super cute idea for my one year anniversary gift for Reggie. I wanted to think of something unique and special, not something anyone could just go out and buy! I came up with the idea to make him a calendar! In order to make this the hottest shoot ever, I had to get in shape! I worked out like crazy. It felt good... but then, my sisters and I went to the American Laser Center and the nurse informed us of a cellulite treatment called VelaShape. It is basically a non-surgical device that massages the needed area and stimulates the blood circulation so that it minimizes cellulite. I work out extremely hard and am happy with my shape... cellulite, not so much!
An anonymous fan posted the following comment on Kim's official website; and after I read it, I had to give ol girl (or dude) a cyber-standing ovation because she/he basically hit the nail right on the head. Right on it. As a matter of fact, I agreed with it so much, I had to post its text in boldface.
"I am a fan of yours so I say this with love. A lot of people say bad things about you, and why should you care? You are beautiful, rich, and famous. But you are a role model for women and your younger sisters. You say you don't want to be known for just taking your clothes off but thats mostly all you do. I saw the interview with Ray J and Tyra and how he insinuated that you may have leaked the sex tape yourself for all the fame. And it sounded stupid...who would do that? But after something like a sex tape who would take their clothes off countless times for money? I think you need to start showing people you have a brain besides a beautiful body. Maybe you should start your own affordable fashion line so your fans can buy your clothes, you would make a lot of money. Just being honest. ♥"

*PLEASE NOTE: These pictures are just a preview of Sunday's episode, they are not the entire shoot, nor are they all of the pictures that made Reggie's actual calender, the show doesn't give everything away and neither am I! Some of these pictures along with a bunch more that aren't featured on the show will be used in my own calender that will be available for 2009 in my online store!

FYI, Kim: your idea may be 'special' but 'unique' and original it's not. Jennifer Lopez hired a photographer to snap pictures of boriqua bod as a personal and private gift to Ben Affleck, her fiance at the time. To this day, not one picture from Jen's calendar has been made public. Just though you should know.

NEW PERFORMANCE PICS: H-TOWN'S REMAINING MEMBERS SHAZAM & G.I. PERFORMING AT THE FUNKY BUDDAH NIGHTCLUB IN LONDON.


Shazam (real name Solomon Conner) and G.I. (real name Darryl Jackson), the remaining members of 90s boy band H-Town are on a mission to forge ahead with their music five years after the sudden death of their fellow band mate--and Shazam's identical twin brother--Dino (real name Keven Conner; pictured in the middle of the photo above). Proteges of Luther 'Uncle Luke' Campbell, these Houston, Texas boys scored their biggest hit single to date, Knocking Boots (watch video here) from their 1993 debut album Fever for Da Flavor. The group's second album Beggin' After Dark was released in 1994 and spawned only one mediocre hit single entitled Emotions. By the time 1997 rolled around, Shazam, Dino and G.I. had recorded a remake of The Persuaders song, (and one of my personal H-Town favorites), A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (watch video here) for the motion film of the same name, severed their ties with Campbell, found God and commenced to recording their third album Ladies Edition, Woman's World which threw everyone for a loop. In a strange twist of events, the guys became more respectful towards women and more consciousness of their song lyrics. The album's theme revolved around the guys admitting to and apologizing for their past transgressions with women. I almost forgot how great this group was until I viewed their music videos again!

On the night of January 28, 2003, tragedy reared its ugly head when member Dino and his girlfriend were killed after leaving the studio where he and his two band mates had been recording their fourth album, Imitations of Life. According to reports, an SUV slammed into the couple's vehicle killing Dino's girlfriend instantly. Dino later died en route to the hospital. He was only 28 years old. These days the surviving members insist on keeping their group's legacy alive as well as their fallen brother's memory by continuing to tour in the states and overseas. So, below you'll find photos of the trio-turned-duo performing at the Funky Buddah nightclub in London, England last Tuesday (5.6.2008).

RUSSELL SIMMONS CHALLENGES KIMORA'S REQUEST FOR SOLE CUSTODY OF THEIR DAUGHTERS MING LEE & AOKI LEE IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS.

I have a feeling things are about to get a bit nasty mixed in with loads of dramatic drama in the Russell and Kimora Lee divorce proceedings. According to People magazine, Simmons has filed a response to his estranged wife Kimora Lee's divorce petition in a Los Angeles court Tuesday. The hip-hop mogul, whose legal papers cite irreconcilable differences, is seeking joint physical and legal custody of his and Lee's daughters, Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5. Who knew it would come to this? The couple married in 1998. In her divorce filing in March, Lee, 33, requested that Simmons, 50, get "reasonable child visitation ... to be accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel." Both parties are asking the court to deny spousal support for the other. At the time of their initial separation in 2006, Simmons said in a statement: "Kimora and I will remain committed parents and caring friends with great love and admiration for each other."

Lee is now dating Djimon Hounsou. The model turned mogul has been dogged recently by rumors that she is expecting a child with Hounsou. At an appearance in Chicago earlier last month, she told reporters. "I'm in the paper every single week – that I had a fight with my ex-husband, or that I was mad at one of his girlfriends, or that I'm pregnant, or that I demand Fiji water … Lies upon lies upon lies."

Simmons is dating 25-year-old certified yoga instructor Porschla Coleman.

No yachting off the Amalfi coast for newlyweds Beyonce and Jay-Z. The couple sneaked off for a secret honeymoon at a luxury resort in the Arizona desert, according to reports. The couple squeezed a top secret New York wedding into Jay-Z’s busy tour schedule last month, seemingly leaving no time for a traditional romantic post-nuptials getaway. But OK! magazine claims the pair escaped to the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain resort a week after tying the knot. A source at the resort, where a two-night stay costs $8,000, tells OK! magazine, "Beyonce looked stunning, even thought she was wearing no make-up. They looked so in love and so happy."

Two out of three of Eddie Murphy's exes within the past three years were recently spotted out and about with their current significant others. Melanie 'Mel B.'

...meanwhile Nicole Mitchell, Murphy's ex-wife (their divorce was finalized in 2006) and mother of five of his seven kids was lensed as she and her boyfriend and NFL player Michael Strahan attended the 2008 Kentucky Derby race last weekend and the Sports Museum of America opening night gala on Tuesday night. Word around the web is she and Strahan could be heading down the aisle again. Mitchell has been dating the New York Giants Super Bowl champion since 2007, and Strahan confesses he may propose soon - despite still recovering from a messy and expensive divorce battle with ex-wife Jean which ended just months before he hooked up with Nicole. Strahan told the New York Daily News, "We love each other. We enjoy each other. I would not shy away from (marriage). But you still have to ask, and they have to say 'yes'. I don't even know if she loves me that much."
