Kanye might be going through a life spiral right now but his girl Amber Rose is still doing her thing! Earlier this week she turned up at Elle magazine’s 16th Annual Women in Hollywood event looking classy in a hip-hugging red dress and at the event she told the LA Times she doesn’t plan on giving up those curves anytime soon. She spoke about her contract with Ford Modeling Agency and said “I told them, Don’t ask me to grow out my hair or lose any weight. I want to represent real women who have curves.” I like that she’s keeping it real! She agreed not get any more tattoos until her contract is up, but when it is she wants a full sleeve tat. That woman could pull off almost anything!

Baby Makes Three

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are expecting their first child. The couple were high school sweethearts and married in 2005. The baby news comes just weeks after Paula told Giant magazine she had “stopped taking birth control” in an effort to get pregnant. Congrats to the happy couple!  In addition to expanding their family, both the Thickes have new projects coming out. Robin’s latest single, ‘Sex Therapy,’ was released this week and Paula stars in the upcoming movie “Precious” (just went to a screening last night and it is heavy. Go see it when it hits theaters November 6th!).

The “Sixth” Housewife

The second season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta ended last night, but despite continuing to be portrayed as Nene’s “gay boyfriend” Dwight Eubanks sat down and told the folks at Black Voices that he doesn’t discriminate. “If I wanted to be with a woman, I will be with a woman, and if I want to be with a guy, then I will be with a guy,” he declared. “I like all fruits, but I do have a problem with [people] dwelling on ‘Dwight the gay housewife.’ Let’s get to know Dwight.” Dwight confirmed with Essence back in April that he’s engaged to a woman. I’d be interested to see him on his own show, but he doesn’t know if that will be a reality. Black Voices reported that he not sure what network execs have in mind for his own show. He added, “most days I don’t know what to do with myself. I know I am a lot.”

Speaking of Housewives Kandi Burruss is the next cast member to be bitten by the fashion bug! Luckily Dwight wont have to call her “dreadful” because she’s not trying to design. She recently opened a boutique called TAGS in Atlanta with her business partner Peaches Chin. Wonder if the boutique will carry “fashions” from She by Sheree and Closet Freak (Lisa Wu Hartwell’s line)?

That’s all for this week, we’ll be back on Monday!

In non-Kanye West messed up news, his girlfriend Amber Rose recently shot a spread in Elle magazine.

Right, not King, not Smooth, not Ozone…Elle.

In her spread – which included an interview – the former stripper turned video girl turned Ford Model that lives in your dreams told the magazine that she has a 24-inch waist and 38-inch hips.

If you recall, Amber showed off her stacked figure in a black catsuit at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris.

On that now infamous suit Amber said she bought it in South Philly and spent “$10 at the most.”

She got it from Contempo Casuals.

As far as working with her boyfriend, who styled her for the shoot, Amber says:

“He’ll pick out something and he’ll be like ‘Babe, just … no.’ I’m more electric pink and bright yellow. And Kanye’s more like nude and bone. Like, bone is his favorite color. I’m like, whose favorite color is bone?”

I have no idea what the color bone looks like? Does that make me tacky?

And for the record, she is not Kanye’s personal Barbie doll.

She has her own style and makes it known. She gave an example of such by telling the story of how Kanye wanted her to wear a gown to the 125th Anniversary Gala of the Met.

Amber opted to wear a white Alexander Wang (I don’t know who that is either) wrap dress that showed off her thighs (oww).

Amber said:

“I didn’t want to wear a long gown. So then we get to the Met and everybody has a long gown. I was like, great. I didn’t know what the Met was!”

This ladies and gentlemen is yet another glowing example of why Amber Rose has had the ultimate come up.

I guess when you go from pole swinger to platinum rapper’s playgirl, a lot of your old colleagues are bound to throw shade because they still have their regular 9-5 (that’s 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. folks) while you became a sensation.

Such is the case for Amber Rose, who now finds herself the subject of a bunch of hate from an obviously jealous stripper.

Here’s what the envious one had to say about Amber Rose:

“I know for a fact Amber Rose had butt shots and lipo. I work at Suez stripclub in Ny and when she first came here she was wayyy bigger, had no ass, and was shaped funny.

She asked around and got in touch with the person that does the illegal butt shots for the girls here. She also does a lot of [SORRY WE CAN'T REPEAT THIS PART].

She used to be a sweetheart now she doesn’t talk to anyone and acts like shes made it so big. She has never owned a car (still doesn’t) and never had her own place.

She still stays with her mom a small shack in the south Philly ghetto. We all miss the Amber that used to hang at the gay raves, bum cigarettes, rides home, and shop at the thift stores.

A shame she can’t even read or talk right. Shes a naive pushover and Kanye just uses her for arm candy because she is not smart at all.”

She can’t afford a car or a place to say, but she can get lip and butt shots?

Uh huh. You know, Media Take Out is often about as reliable as a schizophrenic anyway, but even this sounds unbelievable.

If this girl wants Amber Rose’s life, have a buffet on cornbread, do some squats, than show up in some boy shorts on a rapper’s video set.

Maybe then you’ll become a Ford Model, too.

Say what you want about Amber Rose, but she’s gone from the pole to halls of Ford Modeling Agency all because she’s a bad chick with a master plan. Even Diamond didn’t do that.

You can’t be mad at that, right? No wait, we have the internet – of course you can.

Folks have got at her about her stripper past and bisexual reality, but she doesn’t seem to mind.

In her interview with Complex magazine, Amber touched on the many topics associated with her name.

On Being Bisexual:

“Yeah, they label me a bisexual freak stripper that f–ks Kanye on a daily basis. [Laughs.] You know: “Amber Rose, the f–king bisexual, dyke, freak, whatever the f–k. To answer that: I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man. I’m not into bestiality [laughs] but as far as humans go, I definitely find beauty in everybody, whether they’re heavy-set, super-skinny, if they’re white, black, Indian, Asian, Spanish. I can see beauty in anybody. I’m not into threesomes or orgies and shit like that. If I see a women and I think she’s beautiful and I like her, and she likes me back we can definitely try to be in a relationship together.”

On her come up:

“Obviously, Kanye is a super-duper megastar so he definitely gave me the fast track to the top, and I love him and appreciate him so much for that.”

On her relationship being a publicity stunt:

“Well, my intentions when I met Kanye was to do his video, keep it very professional and we really started to like each other. It just so happened that he started liking me and I started liking him. It’s not a publicity stunt, it’s just human beings, man. I love Kanye as a person, he’s a great person, he’s super-talented. I love him for a lot of different reasons.”

And as far as bloggers go:

“This is my life, this is how my life’s been since I was a kid. I’ve always been popular, my name has always been in somebody’s mouth in high school. I don’t lose no sleep over this sh–.”

I think I love her.

It’s a boy! Academy Award winning singer Jennifer Hudson welcomed her first child yesterday night. According to Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz411 blog:  ”His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr., named for his father and Hudson’s fianceé. Hudson tells me he weighed in at seven pounds, 14 ounces. And Jennifer and David, Sr., by the way, did not know the sex of the baby in advance. They bought blue and pink clothes, just in case!”

The couple is said to be in a secret location laying low from paparazzi. Congrats to the new parents! 

Meanwhile, here we go again with baby rumors. This time the chatter is that Amber Rose might be pregnant. Media Takeout reports that an “insider” said Kanye’s girlfriend “suddenly and abruptly given up smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol,” even going so far as to refuse to allow smokers anywhere near her. The “insider” stressed: “she usually never turns down a drink – so something must be up. And to all of a sudden give up cigarettes too … come on you do the math.”

Ehh, maybe she’s just scaling back on the party life. Does that mean she’s pregnant? I’m not sure I’m convinced.  

Amber did sleepwork her way up to that recent Ford Agency modeling contract.  I’d find it hard to believe that she’s planning on throwing that career for a Yeezy W. baby.  On the other hand babies with entertainers do mean 18 years of hefty paychecks (just ask Kelis) so I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if this turned out to be true.

No, this isn’t about her natural hair color or the pole.

Amber Rose is going back to her video girls days. Naturally, she would do so for her ex-boyfriend (?), Kanye West.

Amber will be featured in the video for the song, “Robocop,” which oddly enough, is said to include jabs about Kanye’s ex fiance, Alexis Phifer.

On her role in the new video, Amber told MTV News, ”I’m playing a robot through the whole video. Ninety-five percent of the video is just me.”

Well the girl certainly has experience — appearing in videos for both Ludacris and Young Jeezy.

Don’t sleep on Ambi, though. She’s still plotting new career moves. She also revealed to MTV that she has new covers waiting in the wings.

“I have Complex mag, Elle magazine, Persona magazine — I have the cover to the back, the whole issue is dedicated to me. I’m excited about that,” she said of her new upcoming publicity appearances.

Kanye will make you famous!

The world can’t get enough of First Lady Michelle Obama’s style and she’s really serving it to the people! Last night at a country music celebration at the White House East Room Lady O  created quite a buzz when she showed off a new shorter  hairstyle.

In actuality the do was just an illusion and the First Lady hasn’t chopped her locks just yet: “It’s an updo. Not haircut,” the First Lady’s press secretary, Semonti Mustaphi, told InStyle.com. Either way I’m feeling this new sleek look; think she looks great!

Cropped hair is really having a moment!  Once upon a time Halle Berry was one of the few mainstream celebrities to sport short, but over the past few years several other celebrities have done away with long tresses too. Seems like more and more people are getting scissor happy as of late:

Last week Ciara posted pictures of herself in a new pixie.

Former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard has been rocking a similar short do for a few months now.

Rihanna was recently spotted keeping her trendsetting short hair ahead of he pack by completely shaving off the sides and back.

I’m not even mad at these new lengths! In the sea of weaves in the entertainment industry, bobs and pixies are a striking, stand-out style (I’ll even give it to Amber Rose for killing the game with her fade!).

What do you think about the short hair trend? Do you think Lady Obama’s new hairstyle is something she should consider making permanent?

Kanye West’s armpiece has been stepping out on her own a bit lately (last week she was spotted leaving dinner with electric blue hair; this weekend she attended Diddy’s All White Party sans Ye, and spent a portion of the party hanging out with Chris Brown) but even though she wears fly clothes and rubs elbows (and…whatever else) with some of today’s hitmakers does that make her a celebrity?

She seems to think so and she wants you to know that she’s not going to waste the opportunity. Rose recently wrote on Global Grind:

“A few weeks ago, I told Uncle Russ that I do not want to ‘waste my celebrity,’ as my celebrity is a gift to me, my family and the world…not only for me to get ahead, but for others as well. So, I am happy to announce that I have officially signed to the Ford Agency and I am moving to NY to pursue my modeling and acting careers! I am going to be taking acting classes in NY and will pursue the dreams that I have had my entire life. Today, I feel really blessed. I can actually look @ this contract and know that I have made some progress. Proof that when you work hard, good things do happen.”

Work hard? I guess she’s referring to the journey from the stripper pole to the videos into Mr. West’s arms?

There’s no doubt that the entertainment world is enchanted by Amber Rose but I wonder if she should pump her breaks on calling herslef a celebrity. Is she a star or simply Kanye’s girl-of -the-moment? You be the judge.

The blogosphere is still debating over whether or not Kanye West and Amber Rose are really broken up or if they’re secretly still shopping and sexing each other.

I, on the other hand, am more interested in knowing if they were ever that close to begin with.

Walking around like the remix to Prince and Apollonia is cute and all, but I think everyone is forgetting one important fun fact: Amber seems to really really like women.

Really.

See this tweet:

RT: @darealamberrose: “YOOOO!!!!! @nickiminaj is f–kin stunning in person I couldn’t stop staring at her!!!! I would sooooo DO her. F–k it I can’t even lie!!!!”

Between this and that radio interview where she spoke on her love of devouring women, it just seems like she’d be way more into exploring Nicki Minaj than playing with Kanye’s pickle.

I’m sure most of you have heard of the term ‘gay for pay,’ but is Amber Rose the opposite?

It’s official: Kanye West only wants to be shopping buddies with Amber Rose.

The two have been rumored to have been on the rocks for weeks, but finally ‘Ye’s rep confirmed to the New York Daily News that the two now only share barbers versus a mutual attraction.

“They are no longer a couple,” said the rep.

Already people saying, “There goes Amber’s 15 minutes!”

I don’t think so. These days once you’ve made it to the blogs, there’s always going to be some level of interest in you. And since Amber Rose is now known as the Pretty Woman remix (hey, Uncle Russell Simmons said it, not me), I’m sure Amber could find a number of ways to stay relevant.

There’s sex tapes, video blogs, reality shows – the possibilities are endless!

Plus, I’m sure the burgeoning fashionista could make a killing doing club appearances – particularly at the gay clubs. I mean, it’s obvious she doesn’t have a problem with the alternative…

Or maybe, just maybe, she’ll go farther than people give her credit.

It seems Amber has recently signed with Ford Models. That’s much better than a deal for a book that’s likely to only be sold at the car wash on MLK (you know every urban neighborhood has at least one MLK avenue/boulevard/street!).

Good luck Rose!
