After giving Amber Rose her walking papers, Kanye’s been linked to many dames but Tuesday night made a statement by stepping out with his new boo, Victoria’s Secret model and Nick Cannon’s Ex, Selita Ebanks. The pair attended the Grazia Masquerade Ball at Opera Garnier in Paris, France.

You might recall it was rumored a while back Kanye and Selita were boo loving. And now fast forward a few months later, they’re now making public appearances…guess those snitches were right after all.

Peep the couple posing for flicks below…

We also recently heard Kanye is looking to settle down and plant some of his own seeds with a special someone
“Kanye feels like there’s something missing from his life,” a source said.

“He says he’d like to have a child with the woman of his dreams, adopt or use a surrogate.

“He thinks he’d make a great dad.”

…so could the mama-to-be be Selita Ebanks? What happened to Pussycat Doll member, Melody Thornton…weren’t they boo loving a second ago?

STR8 SNITCHIN’: 50 CENT TRADES IN CIARA FOR A BECKY?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/05/str8-snitchin-50-cent-trades-in-ciara-for-a-becky-2/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/05/str8-snitchin-50-cent-trades-in-ciara-for-a-becky-2/#comments Tue, 05 Oct 2010 20:54:28 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=42234 STR8 SNITCHIN’: 50 CENT TRADES IN CIARA FOR A BECKY?!

Looks like 50 Cent has dropped Ciara for a white chick! Guess 50 didn’t really like the way Ciara “rides the beat”. Ha! Anywhoo, according to TMZ, the Queens rapper and comedian Chelsea Handler were spotted at a bar in New Orleans Sunday night and “were getting very hot and heavy with each other”. Word is 50 has been feeling Chelsea for quite some time now and has been pursuing her for months. WOW! Apparently, 50 once left the late night TV host a voicemail message after appearing on her show and even sent her flowers.

Here’s a pic of the newly rumored couple getting cozy at some club…is that a business meeting or just a lil’ too close for comfort. Ciara, come get ya gurl, Chelsea!

But is this really news…ya already know how Chelsea loves her some rappers…

ALICIA KEYS’ “KEEP A CHILD ALIVE” 7TH ANNUAL BALL http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/01/alicia-keys-keep-a-child-alive-7th-annual-ball/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/01/alicia-keys-keep-a-child-alive-7th-annual-ball/#comments Fri, 01 Oct 2010 16:48:11 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=42076 ALICIA KEYS’ “KEEP A CHILD ALIVE” 7TH ANNUAL BALL

Check out a very pregnant Alicia Keys working the red carpet belly and all in a stunning lace gown alongside her hubby, Swizz Beats at her 7th annual Keep A Child Alive’s Black Ball in NYC last night. Everyone from Whitney Houston, Usher to Jay-Z & Beyonce showed up in support. Overall the event was a huge success, raising over $2.4 million for lifesaving AIDS treatment, care and support to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Gotta love Alicia’s philanthropic ass! Check out some images below from the red carpet, the ball, and special performances.



Whitney was looking good…but unfortunately the heavy winds had her hair looking kinda crazy.


Usher was doing some major ass kissing to Alicia Keys…perhaps in hopes of scoring another hit with the mommy-to-be.


I get Janelle Monae’s look, but doesn’t she have anything else in her closet besides, blazers and cut-off slacks? #imjustsayin


Sade was a vision in white. Isn’t she like 50-something years old?! WOW! A certified stunner.



Beyonce was in the building looking very retro in this fushia number. And what’s up with the 80′s curls?! Hmm, not feeling it!


Don’t even let me get started on her dress! Just horrid!


Alicia and her mom, Teresa. Surely mama Keys is thrilled to have a new addition to their family.


Later into the night, Alicia Keys hit the stage with Jay-Z, Sade, Janelle Monae and others. There’s nothing keeping Alicia away from that stage…not even a huge belly. Too cute.

STR8 SNITCHIN’: NICK CANNON LOOKING FOR A SPONSOR?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/30/str8-snitchin-nick-cannon-looking-a-for-sponsor/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/30/str8-snitchin-nick-cannon-looking-a-for-sponsor/#comments Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:50:33 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=41926 STR8 SNITCHIN’: NICK CANNON LOOKING FOR A SPONSOR?!

Earlier this week Mariah aka Humpty Dumpty took a fall and yesterday it was rumored Nick Cannon is looking for a sponsor for his 30th celebrity filled bday bash in NYC and LA.

According to NYPost,
In an e-mail sent wide, reps for the NBC “America’s Got Talent” host say: “This is an extremely exciting opportunity to sponsor a fun and lavish event . . . opportunities range from gift bags and signage to tweets and photo ops.”

A one-sheet flier for the “Nick Cannon Birthday celebration hosted by Mariah Carey” offers sponsors the chance to pay $2,500 to be in the gift bag, while a $15,000 donation includes “one tweet” and “mention in all p.r. materials.”

For $25,000 you can be a “host sponsor” which includes “three tweets,” a “right to service out photos” and a “logo on all collateral,” which we hope doesn’t refer to the “confirmed” celebrity guests.

And those prices only refer to a single city, with special “packages” that can be created for both New York and LA.


But before you think Mrs. Carey is going broke, dude is married to Mariah ($$$) and is in his 2nd year of hosting “America’s Got Talent“…so he’s PAID! All I’m saying is $25,000 to sponsor a party…really?! Is this money going to some charity or something? Can’t Mariah front the bill? Why sponsor a Nick Cannon party?! Wait…Nick, who?! #imjustsayin

STR8 SNITCHIN’: NELLY & ASHANTI MAKE-UP?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/08/03/str8-snitchin-nelly-ashanti-make-up/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/08/03/str8-snitchin-nelly-ashanti-make-up/#comments Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:57:55 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=41137 STR8 SNITCHIN’: NELLY & ASHANTI MAKE-UP?!

While the internets have been buzzing about the Chelsea wedding, the Alicia x Swizz Beatz wedding, and of course The Clifford Harris aka TIP wedding, a reunited couple seemed to have gone unnoticed…until now. There’s a plethora of photos and videos swirling around the net from T.I. & Tiny’s ATL wedding reception…to which TIP is pissed off about. One of the videos shows Nelly & Ashanti holding hands walking into the party. Looks like Ashanti is putting the stripper rumors and “he said/she said” crap on the back end and listen to her heart. Hopefully this time Nelly will plays his cards right and locks it down!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: MAXWELL SMASHING SELITA EBANKS?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/26/str8-snitchin-maxwell-smashing-selita-ebanks/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/26/str8-snitchin-maxwell-smashing-selita-ebanks/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:06:27 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=40983 STR8 SNITCHIN’: MAXWELL SMASHING SELITA EBANKS?!

Now that Maxwell is back on the limelight, he’s taking advantage of his celebrity and on course to smashing models…case in point Victoria’s Secret own Selita Ebanks. You might remember her as Nick Cannon’s ex. According to Page Six,

“…supermodel Selita Ebanks, arrived hand-in-hand with R&B singer Maxwell but refused to pose with him for photographers…”



The pair was also spotted chowing down mini burgers at Pop Burger sometime last week.


Looks like this model chick is helping the once lowkey singer sorta come outta his shell and have fun.

In other Alicia Keys/Swizz Beatz related news, no they didn’t get married! In fact, the pair attended Russell Simmons’ Art for Life benefit in East Hampton on Saturday night. The stunning & very pregnant singer, Alicia Keys, stayed off the red carpet to avoid answering questions about the upcoming wedding & cheered Beatz as he accepted an honor for his work with underprivileged kids.

Swizz also chopped it up with People where he revealed some information about the couple’s upcoming bundle of joy and pending nuptials during the outing.

“Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be…I’m definitely one of those great parents as well.” As for the sex of the baby, he offered. “We don’t know…We’re just going to let that be magical. Whatever we’re blessed with, boy, girl, twins, that baby is being born to blessed parents.”

As for the wedding extravaganza, he offered:


“I’ll give a shout-out to Vera Wang for doing the dress and Christian Louboutin for doing her shoes. Louboutin’s doing my shoes too!”


These two are slowly taking over Jay-Z & Beyonce’s spot as the hip hop’s royalty couple.

SWIZZ BEATZ TALKS MARRIAGE, BABIES & MUSIC… http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/22/swizz-beatz-talks-marriage-babies-music/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/22/swizz-beatz-talks-marriage-babies-music/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:07:49 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=40923 SWIZZ BEATZ TALKS MARRIAGE, BABIES & MUSIC…

Check out Swizz Beatz gushing about marriage plans to Alicia Keys, babies and of course music to OK magazine. Now that he’s managing Alicia Keys, surely he’s got some major plans in mind.

On Alicia Keys Pregnancy & Being A Mom

I’m very excited about that, children, you know, they’re a blessing and I’m very excited. We keep the energy positive. Everything surrounding kids should always be positive. That’s the number one rule.”

“I think she’s going to be an amazing mom because she’s an amazing person. If youre an amazing person, it all equals the same thing.”

Details About Their Upcoming Wedding

“Well its not this weekend!” Swizz Beatz says. ”But you know, were excited. Our union is amazing. Our union is pure. Our union is positive no matter what people say or what people think, time will tell everything and you know, silence is the best thing. We just keep it private and we do our thing and just have fun with it.”

“I’m a planner!” he tells OK!. ”I like getting into the detail of things. I’m inspired by fashion, I’m inspired by art, I’m inspired by architectural things so [I like] being involved with the wedding. I’m not the person who sits back and goes, okay, well I’ll just show up. I’m actually spearheading certain plans but it’s a nice blend, a nice partnership.”

“It’s not a superstar wedding. It’s not a gimmicky wedding. It’s a true bond of love, you know, that’s not based on having the most famous person sitting there while you’re doing it. It’s about having the closest people who really understand you as a person and that really have love for you. So it’s a small situation.”

On His Upcoming Projects

I’m working on my album which is super incredible,” he tells OK!. ”Got everybody on there from Jay-Z to John Legend to Mary [J. Blige] to Drake. Super amazing album. I’m also working on Lenny Kravitz new album, working with Cold Play, and of course Alicia!

People may have their thoughts about Swizz and Alicia’s shady relationship, but if this true love and if their happy…then best of luck.

STR8 SNITCHIN’: AMBER ROSE GIVES REGGIE BUSH A LAPDANCE! http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/16/reggie-bush-amber-rose-raise-eyebrows-at-espys/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/16/reggie-bush-amber-rose-raise-eyebrows-at-espys/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:25:23 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=40775 STR8 SNITCHIN’: AMBER ROSE GIVES REGGIE BUSH A LAPDANCE!

While Kim Kardashian is trotting around with her new Dallas Cowboys Miles Austin boytoy, Reggie Bush is getting it poppin’ with Kanye’s sloppy seconds, Amber Rose. Sure Reggie & Kim met a few years ago at the ESPYs, but this year Reggie brought Amber as his new arm piece. Though the rumored pair didn’t do any photo ops together, they were definitely getting extra frisky inside at the awards. Word is the bald bombshell gave Reggie a public lap dance.. who cute? Looks like she’s putting her old skills as a stripper to seduce dudes. LAME!


According to snitches, here’s how it all went down at the ESPYs.

Reggie flirt with Kanye West’s former girlfriend of two years, model Amber Rose, at the ESPY Awards after-party at Drai’s Hollywood nightclub at the W Hotel — and she even gave him a lap dance!

Reggie, 25, partied with his fellow New Orleans Saints before moving to a cabana with his coach and a few ESPN sportscasters, where he was approached by Amber, who didn’t leave his side for the rest of the night.

Amber Rose grabbed Reggie’s hand, stared deeply into his eyes and began to give the athlete a sensual lap dance. Although there was music playing in the background, Amber moved to her own beat and Reggie loved every second of it.

After dancing for more than five minutes, Amber slowly stood up and Reggie whispered something in her ear. Judging from their smiles, it was obvious the couple’s late-night rendezvous was going to continue late into the night.



I used to like Reggie Bush, but him getting it poppin’ with this Amber Rose character is just not a good look. This is chick is just way too scandalous for Reggie. If he couldn’t deal with Kim Kardashian’s sextape past, how will he handle Amber Rose’s attention whoring ass…need I point out shorty’s got a dirty past too. Turning tricks for hollywood d*ck. Reggie your rating just went from a 9 to 5.

Looks like another is about to bite the dust…soon! It’s been rumored The Dream and Christina Milian were on the rocks and now we have photos of The Dream having some fun in the sun with some random chick that’s clearly not C.Milian.


Sure it appears The Dream and the mystery woman are engaging in innocent fun until The Dream does this…


And notice…how he’s not wearing his wedding ring. Hmmm…


There’s absolutely nothing innocent about these pics…all that water playing is just foreplay for whats to come back at the hotel. The Dream is a certified WHORE! See more pics HERE!

Best believe Christina is gonna go in on his ass and can expect a hefty check out of his cheating ways. I can already see Christina pulling a Kelis on The Dream. GET HIM!
