Sticky Fingers: Lupita N'yongo's $150,000 Pearl Dress Stolen From Hotel Room

 
This may be a classic case of a hotel concierge going wild...

Academy Award winning actress Lupita N'yongo recently had her pearls snatched right from underneath her nose! Literally.

According to TMZ, The red carpet fashion slayer's famous Oscar dress (you know, the one that was made up of 6,000 white Ayoka pearls and valued at a whopping $150,000!!) was stolen from her hotel room at The London West Hollywood while the actress was out and about around town.

Sources close to the situation say the dress was stolen from her room between the hours of 8am-9pm and that cops are currently investigating security footage that could possibly catch the pearl snatcher in the act.

Good luck on getting away with that one.

We all know that good ole surveillance is notorious for catching many things. Need we be reminded of the infamous Solange/Carter-gate scandal?

Amber Rose To Kanye West: Now Is My Time To Show The World Who You Really Are!


We knew it, we knew it, we KNEW this was coming...

By now we've probably all seen or heard about Kanye West's interview he did this morning with 'The Breakfast Club,' where he spilled the beans on his kid sister Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship, AND where he took time to BLAST his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose for using his in-laws to stay relevant.

And like most of us, Amber was there for every moment, and lets just say she's one unhappy camper.

After catching word of all the shots being thrown her way by Mr. West ("I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim" being one of them) the Queen Rosebud took to twitter to remind the 'Wolves' rapper that despite what he thinks now, they did once love each other, and that he may want to steer clear of trash talking someone who knows all his dirty secrets.

 
It almost sounds as if Amber is hurt that Kanye chose to uphold his wife and family over their past relationship. Not that you have to bash anyone to prove your loyalty but it just seems that way.

Hopefully this will dead the Kardashian-Rose saga once and for all. Unless however Amber uses this opportunity to air out Ye's dirty laundry. I guess in due time...

Kanye West To The Breakfast Club: My Wife Inspires Beyonce And Tyga Is Smart For Getting Kylie!


Mr. West is in the building!

We all knew it would only be a matter of time before Kanye stopped by somebody's media outlet to share his thoughts on the recent Amber Rose and Khloe Kardashian fiasco, but what we probably didn't see coming was his vague confirmation that Tyga and his baby sis-in-law Kylie Jenner are dating!

In an interview this morning with The Breakfast Club Yeezy discussed everything from his daughter North West's temper tantrums presence at recent fashion shows, Kim K. being Beyoncé's inspiration (...Just like I'm Oprah Winfrey's inspiration), and why he feels Tyga snagging Kylie as an underage teenager is a "smart idea."

"I think he [Tyga] got in early, I think he was smart [laughs]. They are closer in age than a lot of relationships that I know (Beyoncé and Jay Z perhaps? lol). I knew Tyga was smart..."

When asked about his wife, Kim and Beyoncé's relationship, Kanye stated, "They love each other. When Beyoncé is working on her album, she has pictures of Kim on the wall because Kim represents powerful women. Kim plays the 7/11 video..." (Again, Just like my relationship with Oprah...)

Watch the full interview below to hear his shade thrown towards thoughts on his ex Amber Rose (hint: "If I'd dated Kim first, there would be no Amber Rose."), musician Beck, why he takes up for Beyoncé so dang much, and more.

Mo'Nique Blackballed In Hollywood For Being A Diva, Says Her Roles Go To Oprah Winfrey Now


"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it." - Warren Buffet

Actress/comedian Mo'Nique has quite the impressive resume. She's starred in several films and television shows, and also holds one of the most coveted awards in Hollywood. Which makes you wonder why the ex late night talk show host has been MIA for the last couple of years.

In next week's issue of 'The Hollywood Reporter' Mo'Nique opens up about her "disappearing act" from the Hollywood scene and explains the reason fans haven't seen her in a while is because she's been blackballed by the industry.

"I got a phone call from Lee Daniels maybe six or seven months ago and he said to me 'Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed.' And I said, 'I've been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?' And he said, 'Because you didn't play the game.'

Though Mo'Nique claims she has no clue as to why she's been shunned from the industry, Lee Daniels offered up a more detailed explanation to THR.


 
 
"Mo'nique is a force to be reckoned with. Her demands through 'Precious' were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on. However, the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles."

The most recent "roles" Lee could've possibly been referring to are his upcoming Richard Pryor biopic (which was offered to Oprah instead) and his newfound golden nugget -- the hit show "Empire."

So how does Mo'Nique feel about the industry labeling her as being difficult to work with? She says it's not her who's hard to get along with but the people who claim that she is.

"Whoever those people are who say 'Mo'Nique is difficult,' those people are either heartless, ruthless, or treat people like they're worthless. And that's unacceptable. They're set to say, 'Mo'Nique is tactless, she's tacky.' That's why I have my beautiful husband because he's so full of tact, cause I'm a girl from Baltimore and being from that place you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you. You stand up for what's right."

You can read the full interview in the February 27th issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

Hopefully this interview and her upcoming movie project (Blackbird, out April 24th) will help steer her career back on track. We're rooting for ya Mo'Nique!

He Speaks: Tyga Addresses Khloe Kardashian And Amber Rose Beef Over Kylie Jenner


Power 105's The Breakfast Club couldn't have pinged their interview with Tyga at a better time...

 The smoke has barely cleared from the twitter war between Khloe Kardashian and Amber Rose and
now that the two are done reading each other, Tyga's ready to give his side of the story on the drama surrounding his situationship with Kylie.

And from the looks of things -- he's still in denial.

In a sit down interview with The Breakfast Club, the Fan Of A Fan rapper basically told the morning crew that there's nothing to see here! And despite what everyone's been seeing with their own eyes, he and Kylie are just friends.

"I'm not dating Kylie. I want to be clear to everybody that I did not leave my family to be with Kylie. That's ridiculous. Me and Chyna broke up almost close to a year now and because of decisions we made, things in our relationship weren't going right. I didn't leave nobody to be with anybody."

When asked why he spends so much time with the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan Tyga states, "She's just a good person. You ever meet somebody and their energy is just good? It's not negative. She just comes from a good upbringing and I never met somebody like that."

Ohhh kaaaay...

Catch the full interview below and get Tyga's thoughts on his beef with Drake, Nicki Minaj and his ongoing situation with Cash Money/Young Money records.


I'll Be Lovin' You Always: Beyonce Pays Tribute To Stevie Wonder (Video Inside)


CBS had quite the musical evening last night as they paid homage to Stevie Wonder with their Grammy sponsored tribute 'Songs In The Key Of Life - An All-Star Salute' at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre.

Twitter Clapbacks Pt 2: Amber Responds To Khloe Kardashian's Remarks


Forget the cold and the snow. It's mighty shady in these streets today...

It didn't take long for Amber Rose to catch wind of Khloe's clapback made earlier on twitter in regards to Amber's comments about her younger sister Kylie -- and now Muva has an announcement to make.

In a twitter post that seems to have been taken down and replaced with Kanye themed Instagram memes, Amber decided to have a "chick sit down" moment of her own and respond to Khloe.

"@khloekardashian I'll be that lil whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support hers. We're even. #MuvaGivesFacts"

After taking a jab at big sis Kimmy, Amber made her way to Instagram to post the below:




I guess no matter what the argument everything will always come back to Kim's infamous Ray J. tape and Kanye West.

Ladies please...not for the '1-5.

Twitter Clapbacks: Khloe Kardashian Warns Amber Rose To Keep Kylie's Name Out Of Her Mouth


"She's my sister. Break her heart, I'll break your face"...

Amber Rose just can't seem to steer clear from the Kardashian sisters no matter how hard she tries.

First it was the ongoing Kanye beef with Kim K., and now she's in a bit of a cross fire with the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, Khloe, who's clapping back at the head Rosebud for speaking negatively about her little sister Kylie Jenner.

In a series of tweets the "knuck if you buck" Kardashian took time to speak out against Amber's recent interview where she expressed her displeasure with 26-year-old Tyga, and 17-year-old Kylie's alleged relationship calling it shameful and ridiculous.

"She's a baby. She needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock and relax. Tyga should be ashamed of himself that's ridiculous...He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old that just turned 17."

I'm guessing that particular part of the interview didn't sit too well with Khloe who hopped on twitter earlier today to accuse Amber of not sweeping around her own front door.

She then continued her read on Wiz's estranged wife by giving out tips on proper interview etiquette, and letting fans know that there's always more to a story than what blogs report.

"We get asked questions about people all the time and my sisters and I always take the high road and don't answer. Truth is we don't know these people. I don't know Amber so why would I comment on her...3 sides to every story. His, hers and the truth. I'm not passing judgment but I wish others would do the same until they have facts."

*sighs* This may have the teeny bopper Kardashian stans and Rosebuds up in arms for a few days. Stand down stans. Stand down.

SNL's 40th Anniversary Brings Out The Wolf In Kanye West + Eddie Murphy And More Reunite!


Reunited and it feels so good!

SNL celebrated their 40th anniversary last night and managed to bring out a slew of our favorite A-List comedians and singers to show support for the long standing comedy show.

The anniversary episode was taped at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City and managed to reunite some of the shows biggest acts including legendary comics, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock, Dana Carvey and Mike Myers, late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, and honorary SNL comic Justin Timberlake.

Music played a huge part in commemorating SNL 40 with musical performances by Paul McCartney, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and more.

Kanye West

A noticeably different looking Kanye West put his past distaste for SNL to the side and graced the stage as well, performing a medley of hit songs including his latest track "Wolves," which inspired the rapper to dress as a wolf (but giving off more 'Vampire In Brooklyn' vibes instead), by wearing blue contacts and singing a hoarse rendition of "Jesus Walks" while lying on the floor.

All in all, it looks like NBC pulled off one eventful night!

Catch flicks and performances by Yeezy and SNL's past and present below.

Doctor Tells Bobbi Kristina's Family To Say Goodbye


I was hoping to blog about something a bit more positive surrounding this story but unfortunately that won't be the case...

The fate of Bobbi Kristina's recovery has taken a turn for the worse according to a doctor who's been caring for the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.

According to PEOPLE a doctor has told Kris's family there's nothing more that can be done and to prepare to say their goodbyes.

Family members have expressed their disbelief with the prognosis and are still hoping for a miracle breakthrough.

"If you saw her you would think she was sleeping," stated one family member while another said "it's sinking in that this is it, but we're all still praying that God will intervene and heal her body."

Sources close to the situation say Krissy's father, Bobby Brown, has been taking the news especially hard crying non-stop since yesterday.

Bobbi was found just 4 days ago face down in a bathtub by her husband (or better yet, boyfriend according to newer claims made by Bobby Brown's lawyer) and friend who attempted CPR on her body until paramedics arrived.

So sad, prayers still going up...

Comedic Beef: Drake, Meek Mill, Lil Duval And Marlon Wayans Clown On Kevin Hart's Attire


It all started with a black shirt. A sleeveless fitted black leather shirt to be exact...

Super Bowl XLIX is in full effect, and in the midst of all the exciting pre-gaming festivities, Kevin Hart couldn't seem to catch a break!

In what seemed to be a scene taken straight out of Kevin's hit show, 'The Real Husbands Of Hollywood', Drake, Meek Mill, Lil Duval, AND Marlon Wayans decided to come for the "comedic rockstar" (all in the name of fun of course) by roasting him over a shirt he wore, in which the fellas deemed as a little too small, and too tight.

In an Instagram pic uploaded to the comedian's account last night, Kevin was shown donning a slim fitting black leather shirt with the caption, "ComedicRockstarSh#t #DopePic #ItsShowtimePeople #Superbowl"



Dope pic right? Not according to Drake, Meek, Duval, and Marlon! After catching wind of Kev's leather-fied image the guys decided to have a little pre-super bowl fun of their own by reposting the image and sending out comical P.S.A's.

When Kev caught word of the comedic shade thrown his way, war was officially declared by the funnyman.

Take a peep at the hilarious exchange below.








Kevin's clapbacks:










Eager to finish what they started, and get the last laugh Lil Duval, Marlon and Meek responded by posting the below:











These TBT pics are killing me! LOL

I take it Kevin hasn't responded because he's too busy enjoying sky box seats at the Super Bowl with Will Ferrell and fiance Eniko.


Nevertheless, fun jokes while they lasted!
