Kanye West’s A.P.C. Collection Sells Out

Kanye West is not only making waves on the charts, but also in the fashion world. Moments after going on sale, his men’s clothing collection with French brand A.P.C. sold out. 

After it launched last  Sunday at 10 a.m. Paris time, the nine-piece capsule collection crashed the site and was soon unavailable. 

The pricey line consists of two pairs of jeans priced at $265, long and short-sleeved hoodies ($250-280), and “Hip-Hop T-shirt” that costs $120. 

Kanye worked closely with A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou on the collection, which took two years to create. “Over the months, we kept hanging out and finally came up with the idea of doing a small capsule collection of clothes together,” said Touitou. “‘Small’ meaning that this capsule collection consists of a jean, a hoodie and a T-shirt. Those are precious to me and to Kanye too, because it took time and thoughts to get there.”

According to People, A.P.C. has restocked some items and is accepting pre-orders for other sold-out items through today at 1 p.m.

LeBron & Savannah's Wedding Invitations Leak!

After a week of Vegas & Anguilla Bachelorette vacays with her bridesmaids and besties, Savannah Brinson is back home with her almosthubby, 2-time NBA champ LeBron James.  He posted the above cute pic of the twosome saying:

Finally got my babe back away from Rump Shaker, C More Butts and Mandingo!! Smdh. Hahaha. #QueenVsBacheloretteIsOver #ImHating #LookAtMyFaceandLookAtHers #NawHappySheHadABallWithHerGirls #BachelorWeekIsNext

And one of their wedding guests, who we're sure they thought was their friend, leaked the wedding invite.  The San Diego nuptials will go down September 14th (as we knew from the Save The Dates).  But the intricate gold & white invite purposely lacks a place & time for the ceremony on Saturday, the welcome BBQ on Friday & the farewell brunch:

And the kicker.....guests have to call a top secret number, then receive a call back with the further details.  

We're still pretty sure pics will leak sooner than they think....

Say It Ain’t So!!!: Did Nicole Murphy Bend It Over For Rick Ross?

Guess it ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none?!?

Rumor has it that Rick Ross smashed Nicole Murphy with his belly and all!!! The two were seen getting a little too comfortable with each other at the Cannes Festival in May and one thing led to the bed and the bed led too…

According to Jacky Jasper of HSK:: She’s still got Michael Strahan locked down, but Nicole Murphy hasn’t seemed to change her drug-fuelled whoring ways! Don’t believe me.. Ask William ‘Prick Ross’ Roberts, who sources say hit that!

The pair were spotted all up on each other at Cannes Film Festival, back in May. It’s just one of the reported many “booze and ecstasy-fueled” smash sessions insiders say Michael Strahan knows all about, yet turns a blind eye to. Know why? Because we’re told Nicole is a pro with a strapped-on dildo. Don’t believe me.. Ask Eddie Murphy.

Here’s the drop:

“Nicole is a real party girl. She gets fucked up a lot, Rick Ross took advantage and smashed. Nicole likes girls too. That’s why she also hooked up with Puffy and Cassie for a threesome, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival!”

ohhhhhhhhhh… they went there!!!

Nicole’s looks like she’s the “TURN UP” of the party whether it’s in the Cannes or your Mama’s basement. She gets to the fun! But… if it’s true, out of everyone in the entertainment scene… did it really have to be Rick Ross?!? What turn you on the most: The pill in your drink and UOENO or was it the belly with the hidden pork chop under the breast?!?

Farrah Abraham Denies Being Rejected by Playboy 

Though she's already invested in a new pair of breasts, Farrah Abraham is reportedly unable to score a spread in Playboy magazine.

According to TMZ, the "Teen Mom"-turned-porn-star contacted the famous publication about appearing nude in an upcoming issue.

Denied the first time, she allegedly reached out again in June, but Playboy said they didn't have the room for her.

However, the single mother took to Twitter to deny the reports, tweeting, "Really laughing at all the blog lie drama about Playboy, for the record 'I never reached out' nor do I care, if it happens they can pay up:)."

Ohio Kidnapping Hero Charles Ramsey: ‘I’m Broke Bro’

*Two months after his headline-making assist in the rescue of three Cleveland women held captive for a decade, Charles Ramsey says he is now broke and homeless.

“I’m broke, bro,” Ramsey told the Daily Mail. “That’s the truth.”

Ramsey said he was fired from his job working in a kitchen because customers kept coming in to shake his hand.

The Mail reports that Ramsey was “shamed” out of his former home next to alleged kidnapper Ariel Castro by his neighbors “who claim he exaggerated his role in the rescue of the girls.”

But the Mail also reports that Ramsey has made around $50,000 over the last two months largely from “corporate speaking engagements” and money raised by private individuals as a reward for helping the kidnapping victims.

Nevertheless, “Money goes fast if you have bills,” he told the Mail.

Ramsey famously told Anderson Cooper he didn’t want any money offered by the FBI for the return of Gina DeJesus, one of the women who was freed.

Ramsey was also offered free burgers for life from McDonalds and is the subject of tattoos and even an action figure.

Angela Stanton Secures New Counsel 

Real Housewives of Atltanta's Phaedra Parks' defamation lawsuit against Angela Stanton and Vibe Magazine hit a speed bump last week after Angela's lawyer withdrew from the case after a disagreement on how it should be handled 

Angela has secured another lawyer and the case is proceeding as planned...

Angela Stanton's new attorney James Radford made the announcement on his website, 

I am proud to be representing Angela Stanton in defending against spurious claims of defamation surrounding her 2012 book, Lies of a Real Housewife.Lies is a detailed account of Ms. Stanton’s relationship with Phaedra Parks, a notable Atlanta attorney and star of the Bravo series “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In September 2012, Ms. Parks filed a suit alleging that the contents of Ms. Stanton’s book were untrue and defamatory. Ms. Stanton, through attorney Eddie Beal, filed an Answer, asserting, among other things, the defense of truth. As the trial date approaches (currently on the calendar for July 18), Ms. Stanton sought additional legal assistance, leading to my involvement. We look forward to proving the defense of truth in court.

I had followed Ms. Stanton’s story since it broke last year. I watched videos on her website, in which she detailed her story. It struck me as being detailed and credible. When I learned about the defamation case, I was left with the impression that Ms. Stanton was being railroaded by an opponent with far superior resources. That is why I am proud to help. All people deserve access to our justice system, regardless of their economic circumstances. I have no personal disrespect for Ms. Parks. She is a well-regarded member of the same legal community as I am. That being said, people’s backgrounds are complex. And in a country and culture governed by the First Amendment, we are all subject to the free speech rights of others, particularly with respect to information that is factually true.

Jenny McCarthy Named As New ‘The View’ Co-host!

Barbara Walters announced Monday morning that television personality and actress Jenny McCarthy will be joining ‘The View’ as co-host.

With the departure of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Bauer and Walters own announcing she’ll be bowing out in 2014 it was only a matter of time before we learned of who’ll be taking their place.

On her official blog on Monday McCartney writes, “YUP, I’M DOING ‘THE VIEW’! When word got out that Joy [Behar] was leaving ‘The View,’ I knew that the timing of my desire and her departure might be serendipitous for me….I’m beyond thrilled … I look forward to helping make hot topics a little bit hotter, and showing my mom that my interrupting skills have finally paid off.”

On what Jenny Mac can bring to the table? Walters declares, “Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor. She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view. Jenny will be a great addition to the show as we usher in an exciting new chapter for The View.”

If you’ve followed Jenny on any of her previous works, you’ll know, she can bring the laughs. She also has the energy of a 3 year old.

We actually think Walters may have gotten this one right. She’ll join Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd on the couch in the next several months.

What are your thoughts, will Jenny make a great co-host?

LAHH ATL's Rasheeda & Kirk Frost JOIN Cynthia Bailey To Host HHW Style Experience With Erica, Peter, Shay & More

"LAHH ATL" star Rasheeda proudly displayed her baby bump as she walked the red carpet for The Hip Hop Weekly (HHW) Style Experience.  Looks like she's due any day now.  At least we hope..

She kept it sexy in a short pink long side hem dress  inhand hosted the event on behalf of Hip Hop Weekly and The Cobb Show for an evening highlighting next season’s hottest streetwear looks.

Despite their marital differences, which we've been watching unfold on camera, Rasheeda's husband, Kirk Frost, joined her as event host. 

Though they didn't pose for pics together, you'll recall that the couple spoke to us at the 2013 BET Awards and revealed that they're still very much "together" in terms of the "business" they've built.  As far as their marriage goes, we guess we'll have to see how that plays out during the season finale of LAHH ATL. 

"RHOA" star Cynthia Bailey, who's dealing with an as-yet-unrevealed medical condition, served as the event's third host...in her Timbs.  

Cynthia's husband Peter Thomas, who co-authored Carry-On Baggage: Our Nonstop Flight with her, didn't play favorites in the "LAHH ATL" cheating scandal, as he was spotted posing for pics with both Rasheeda and Kirk.  

In the audience, LAHH ATL stars Erica Dixon and Che Mack posed together.  Those tattoos though.....

And across the room......Erica's LAHH ATL enemy Shay Johnson was spotted.  

 "Married To Medicine'"s Quad Webb was also spotted taking in the fashion show.

Fun times!

Tyrese Announces Retirement As A Solo Artist With ‘Black Rose’ Album!

Tyrese Gibson has just announced ‘Black Rose’ will be his final solo project. Although the singer has gone on to become a blockbuster actor in films like ‘Baby Boy’ and the ‘Transformers’ and “The Fast & Furious” movie franchises, it was music that gave him his start in the entertainment industry.

Here’s what the singer posted on his official Twitter and Instagram profiles.

 

So why leave? Perhaps the singer thinks it is just time for something new. Although he will still manage and serve as mentor to artists under his own label, Voltron Recordz, he will no longer release music as Tyrese the solo artist.

Black Ty has however teamed up with fellow singers, Tank and Ginuwine to form R&B group ‘TGT’. That would be Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank in case you were still wondering. The trio have actually been touring the states in their Three Kings tour, giving the ladies that R&B sound from three handsome men, we’re sure the ladies are delighted.

Here are the men posing in one of their promo shoots for their tour.

Also, here’s one of the firt artworks for Ty’s upcoming and final solo project. We look forward to hearing it.

We’re sure Tyrese will go on to do some great things in his acting career. We also wouldn’t rule out a musical comeback but as for now, Tyrese, the solo act is retiring. CK readers, what are your thoughts. Should Ty retire as a solo act?

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES

Nicki Minaj Says Entertainment Business Is Like A High School Popularity Contest

Nicki Minaj allegedly has been from American Idol. But in an upcoming issue of Teen Vogue, the 29-year-old opens up about how she handles critics on places like twitter.

I used to read the bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, ‘Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?’ You cannot give negativity power. I tell teens, if you’re having a problem, there’s nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it’s poison. My journey to who I am today began on MySpace. I love getting real opinions from people.

She credits frequently changing schools as a youngster, as helping her prepare for her career:

Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I’d have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time: Are people going to like or hate me? … Sometimes there’d be a fight, sometimes not. I let people know I wasn’t going to be pushed around. I’d have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time.

She also adds:

People treat this business like it’s high school. It can absolutely feel like one big popularity contest, and you know what? I can’t be bothered. I can’t allow myself to play ridiculous games with grown adults in the industry. I can’t be nice to someone just because they’re hot right now. I can’t do it.

Comedian Monique Clarifies She Wanted An Open Marriage: ‘That Had Nothing To Do With My Husband’

Comedian turned actress, Monique, is shrinking y’all. This week, she stopped by Hot 97, dishing about her weight loss, clarifying what she meant by having an ‘open relationship’ with her husband of seven years, along with how she feels about her late night talk show on BET.

Peep a few excerpts:

On why she admires Charles Ramsey:

Because I admire that brother and I really appreciate what he did. And you know you hear the jokes and I understand..No, he don’t have no teeth. It’s a lot goin’ on, but Charles when we come to Cleveland, you have tickets to the show. I admire that brother. That took a lot of courage. Because normally we mind our business, normally folks don’t get involved. And he was so honest, baby. That brother saved lives.

On her weight lost:

I tweet every morning my workouts because I wanted women to see, (especially us big women) you don’t have to let them cut and suck it out. You don’t hafta let them staple you up, you don’t hafta let them give you a pill. If you just put the work in baby, I promise you, it comes off. Now, I’m three years in….The weight right now….two weeks ago it was 218. My goal is between 190 and 200. When I watch ‘The Parkers’ and I watch the reruns, I know I was tipping about, close to 300. I am thee best Monique I’ve ever been in my life. I feel amazing.

The last time she was at her current weight:

Never. Never. In my mind, things never got sideways until someone brought it to my attention, which is my husband. When I had to step back and look at the damage I was doing to myself, made me say ‘Sis, you got these babies’.

On what food she enjoyed eating, pre-diet:

Buffalo wings, Doritios dipped in blue cheese at the same damn time. You were eating whatever you wanted. There were junkies in my family and there still are junkies in my family. And I use to judge them. I was a food junkie.

Why her show on BET ended:

Let me say this about the experience, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. We wanted folk to go to bed and feel good. Those two years were amazing. I wish I could give you the answer. I honestly don’t know what happened with the Monique Show. You should maybe ask Ms. Debra Lee because I don’t wanna assume. I can’t give you an swer to that. But what I will say to the people, we thank you. It was a show for our community, baby. It was so diverse; it was for everybody.

If she’d consider doing another talk show:

I had a great time doing it and who knows what the universe is doing.

What she meant years ago, when she said that she and her husband had an open relationship:

Let me define this really quick. See, that happened nothing to do with my husband. When I did that interview, I didn’t realize the king that I had. I was just being old Monique. Listen, the road is what it is. It goes for men and women. I felt like well this is just how it is. People automatically went to my husband. It had nothing to do with that. It actually backfired. I thought I was saying to women you can enjoy your cake and eat it too. It backfired. Now that I understand what I have, baby listen, there’s not another man on the face of this earth that can compare to mine. In my humble opinion. That’s just for me. When you really take the energy and pay attention to your relationship….and love him in a way that your mama didn’t teach you how to love a man, don’t neither one of y’all wanna go nowhere. Treat ‘em like a King if you wanna be treated like a Queen–it works.

Further defining what an ‘open relationship’ means to her:

We are open and we’re open because we’re honest. When I said an open relationship people automatically thought sex,sex,sex. An open relationship means to us, there are no secrets.There’s nothing that my husband doesn’t know about me and there nothing I don’t know about him. Some people are laying with strangers. When it’s open, y’all so honest. Sisters if you got a good one baby honor him. It’s nothing wrong with being submissive. It’s nothing wrong with loving him, all of it. We treat each other good right now in life, the best we can and then that way when you’re loving good, everything around you is good.

Mathew Knowles owes IRS $1.2 Million in Taxes

Can you pay your daddy’s tax bills Beyonce?

Daddy Knowles made tons of moolah off of Destiny’s Child, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and others over the years. Now Uncle SAM wants a piece of the action.

Again we ask Beyonce “Can you please pay your daddy’s tax bill?“.

According to Uncle Sam, Mathew Knowles still owe taxes on the money he made during his managerial days. That sum equals $1.2 Million. Wow that’s a lot of money.

TMZ reports that the IRS has filed liens for the years of 2010 ($485,575.95) and 2011 ($728,004.89) which totals a sum of $1,213,580.84.

WOW that’s a lot of money.

Beyonce can you pay your daddy’s tax bill? We know you and Jay got that money sitting in a box under the bed. That aint a thang for you two. Can you take care of this monkey on Daddy Knowles’ back?

REVEALED: Fox spent a staggering $40 million on American Idol judges including $18 Million for Mariah Carey - only to see ratings flop

Fox chief Kevin Reilly today defended ailing American Idol - as it can be revealed the network spent a staggering $40 million on their judging panel only to see ratings flop.

The network paid $18 million to Mariah Carey, $12 million to her rival Nikki Minaj, $6 million to country crooner Keith Urban and $4 million to long-running judge Randy Jackson.

Randy quit the show last week and none of the remaining trio are set to return next year.

And speaking ahead of the TV upfronts - the annual advertisers event - in New York today, the Fox entertainment chairman said the show would 'likely' go back to having three judges, saying 'everything is on the table.'

Mr Reilly said: 'It's confirmed that one judge is not coming back.'

Insiders say it's highly unlikely Mariah, Nicki and Keith will return - leaving Fox to find a new panel, even though Mr Reilly insisting they would be welcome back.

Mr Reilly also said the show would likely go back to three judges, the number it had when the show began with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.

As it heads to its finale this week, Idol was beaten by CBS on Thursday night, which snagged the win with a 2.7 rating in the adults 18-49 category and 12.094 million viewers. FOX came in second with a 2.4 rating and 8.641 million viewers for the Idol ratings show.

Randy Jackson confirmed his departure to E! News on Thursday, stating:'Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season,' he said.

'I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry,' said Jackson. 'It's been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures.'

Idol has seen a steady rotation of judges in recent years, but Jackson is the only original judge to have stayed the course with the series.

'There's always been chaos with American Idol, but this year it's been more than ever,' a source told E!.

When Minaj was asked by Ryan Seacrest on Thursday whether the rumours were true, the rapper answered somewhat cryptically.

'That's a million-dollar question… I have to say this all the time, but I want people to know it's genuinely from my heart. I love the people on Idol. I genuinely do,' she told the radio presenter and Idol presenter.

'If I had to do this all over again, I would have done Idol. Because it's fun, it's laughs. It's kind of sad that what people read all the time is only when something is negative. But they don't realise that we built a family, she added.

She then expressed her gratitude to the producers for putting her on the show.

'I feel happy here and I have to thank them for giving me this chance. They could have picked anyone in the world. And they picked me. So that's all I'll say about that,' she said.

She doesn't know: When asked whether she and her fellow judges would be fired, Nicki Minaj said, 'That's a million-dollar question', pictured on Wednesday on the show

Despite recent reports, Fox also isn't thinking of bringing former judge Jennifer Lopez back onboard to save the flailing show.

Longtime producer Nigel Lythgoe, who has been with the show from the beginning, is also expected to be replaced.

The 10-year-old Fox show has seen its popularity wane in recent years.

The Fox singing show peaked in 2006's season five when Taylor Hicks was named American Idol and the season finale drew a whopping 36.4 million viewers.

 Formerly great: With Simon Cowell at the helm, American Idol would attract more than 30 million viewers for its live shows

Other contestants that season included Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler and Chris Daughtry. It remains the most productive season in terms of generating recording artists.

American Idol recently has been struggling against other competition shows and this season may  relinquish its crown as the most popular show of its genre.

Two same-week editions of NBC's The Voice and ABC's Dancing With The Stars last month drew larger audiences than Idol.

The show enjoyed its most success with its original panel of three judges that included the acerbic Simon Cowell, pop singer Paula Abdul and music manager Randy Jackson.

After Sunday night’s game, Matt autographed a ball, and gave it to a terminally ill teen, Joshua Jones. But it didn’t stop there. Matt proceeded to give the young boy his hat, his jersey, and finally, Matt reached down, and took off his cleats, and gave them to the 19-year-old.

By now you all know ABC announced that Barbara Walters would officially announce her 2014 retirement on ‘The View’ Monday.

She tweeted this teaser that was linked to an ABC banner headline:

Walters led Monday’s show with a video detailing her long and illustrious career.  While wiping away tears, she declared her intention to leave television a year from now after 50 years on the air.

Until next summer Walters, 83, will continue to anchor and report for the network, appear in specials, and continue in her role as executive producer and panelist on ‘The View.’

She said, “I am very happy with my decision and look forward to a wonderful and special year ahead.”

Regarding her future plans, she stated emphatically, “I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain.  I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women — and, OK, some men, too — who will be taking my place.”

ABC News President Ben Sherwood said, “There is only one Barbara Walters.  We look forward to making her final year on television remarkable, path-breaking and news-making as Barbara herself.  We look forward to a year befitting her brilliant career, filled with exclusive interviews, great adventures and indelible memories.”

She ended her announcement by saying, “My cup runneth over.  I thank you, I thank you, I thank you.”

A network executive who was seated in the audience for the big announcement, suggested that she might want to consider a stint on ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars.’   Bring it on Barbara!

Chris Brown’s Neighbors Are PISSST About Graffiti On Singer’s Hollywood Hills Residence

Singer Chris Brown can’t catch a break. I’m hearing via recent poll that Brown and teen Pop Star, Justin Bieber are trending on the “most hated celebs list.” This story here doesn’t add anything better to that trend because, neighbors in Chris’ Hollywood Hills town are pissy that he decided to have graffiti drawn on the outside of his home. Residents are reporting the art as grimacing and frightening to their children.

We are hearing that a neighborhood group said the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall have been scaring children, and is an eyesore to boot, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they’re literally frightened. It’s like devils on the wall — big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re used to”

Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, told the Los Angeles Times.

Peep a few of the pics…. what do you think??

L.A. city code officials responded to complaints about the monster art and cited the “Run It!” singer $376 for unpermitted and excessive signage.

Under city ordinances, it’s illegal to create murals on most private properties. Though that didn’t stop Madonna from painting her Hollywood Hills home in red and yellow stripes in the 1990s.

L.A. city code officials responded to complaints about the monster art and cited Brown $376 for unpermitted and excessive signage.

Brown has been ordered to remove the goblin paintings within 30 days, but his attorney Mark Geragos said the musician is not backing down.

“They are trying to suspend the First Amendment,” Geragos said. Geragos alleges neighbors are harassing Brown and have also made parking complaints about him and called animal control.
