Is it just us or is hip-hop getting old?!

Rapper Fabolous turned 32 years old Wednesday (Nov 18) and everyone in New York City, including Rick Ross, Diddy, Amber Rose, Ryan Leslie, Adrienne Bailon and more, came out to party with him at the Hotel on Rivington that night.

Bossip says Fabo and Adrienne were extra close throughout the evening.

Adrienne Bailon appeared to be Fab’s right hand. Even with all of NY in the building, it appeared that the two were in arms reach of each other the whole night. Our spy didn’t see the two leave together but that’s normally what happens when you’re trying to keep things under wraps.

GQ Men of the Year Wale and Drake attended the party celebrating their honor at the Chateau Marmont Wednesday evening (Nov 18) in Hollywood. According to the popular men’s magazine, Wale, Drake and Kid Cudi have “killed” gangsta Hip-Hop, earning each of them the “Man of the Year” title.

GQ says: Have you been listening to hip-hop this year? If not, we’ve got good news: The gangster persona is finally dead, and these are the kids who killed it. One song at a time, they build a new era in which duct-taped kilos, exotic firearms, and freaky girls are out and real life is the focus. … Wale is as famous for his live shows as for the slick-witted lyricism of his debut Attention Deficit. Kid Cudi is the cut up who scored with the stoner anthem “Day N Nite” and his album Man on the Moon. And then there’s Drake, who found himself turning down multimillion-dollar offers after his single “Best I Ever Had” exploded. (It helps that the girls like Drake. A lot.) Drake’s debut, Thank Me Later, is easily the most anticipated album of 2010.

So what do these underdogs think about being cast as gangster slayers? “The dope boy is going to be a fixture of black culture as long as ‘thug’ is a legitimate option alongside ‘job,’” Drake says. “But I’m not going to rap about how much crack I’ve sold.” Cudi also laughs at the idea of talking tough. “Anybody from Cleveland will tell you I wasn’t in the streets,” he says. “Ask them, They’ll say. ‘Scott was the goofy class clown.’”

The celebrity guest list for the 14th annual GQ Men of the Year Party also included Kobe Bryant, Gabrielle Union, Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian and more. Continue reading for the rest of the pics!

British pop star Leona Lewis already has a reputation for being a good girl, but now she says she’s not only a good girl … she’s a “good diva.” And she’s not going around spending unnecessary money unlike her celebrity counterparts.

“The term ‘diva’ has such a negative connotation, but I see myself as a kind of good diva. I’m a next-door diva,” she said in the latest issue of Petra magazine.

Leona says she doesn’t make crazy demands and insists that she’s very frugal, unlike most pop stars in the industry. And her biggest purchases so far have been her house and her two cost-efficient environmentally friendly whips.

“The biggest things I’ve bought are a house and my two cars. One of the cars is a Mini Cooper. But in Los Angeles I always drive a Hybrid Toyota Prius which is very environmentally friendly.”

Here are a few pics of the “good diva” with Adam Lambert, Monique Coleman, Angela Simmons, LL Cool J, LaToya Jackson and more on the red carpet of the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Event. The star-studded event was held Wednesday night (Nov 18) at Vouyer in Los Angeles. Continue reading for the rest of the pictures…

The Fulton County Medical Examiner has released documents confirming that AJ Jewell’s death has officially been ruled a homicide. AJ was a regular on the hit BRAVO reality series The Real Housewives of Atlanta. He was engaged to one of the Housewives (Kandi Burruss) throughout the taping of the show. The two broke up over the summer shortly before AJ died following a fight at a club in Atlanta in October.

TMZ reports: The cause of death is listed as, “Physical altercation resulting in sickle cell trait related exertional collapse.” Contributing factors are listed as, “intestinal myocardial fidrosis,” as well as an enlarged heart.

Translation — the fight triggered a flare up with Jewell’s sickle cell disease.

Frederick Richardson, the other guy involved in the fight has been arrested, charged with voluntary manslaughter and is currently behind bars.

Anderson’s attorney told TMZ: “It’s an unfortunate situation, Frederick is sorry this situation happened and that A.J. died.”

Championship wrestler Hulk Hogan agreed to look like he got battered and bloodied up by wrestling legend Ric Flair in an effort to promote their upcoming event “Hulkamania – Let The Battle Begin.” At a press conference in Sydney, Australia, Hulk and Ric were arguing and trading insults about their failed love lives when Flair started punching Hogan in the face over and over causing blood to pour from his head.

But don’t get too alarmed because it’s all FAKE! Yes the blood is real and Ric Flair is really hitting Hulk but after doing a little research we found out that this type of stunt is called “blading” and it’s very common in the world of professional wrestling, which we all know is a highly staged sport. The process of blading is fairly easy. Basically, a small concealable razor is hidden in the attacker’s hand causing the attackee to receive a cut big enough for blood to pour out.

The pictures actually make it look really bad but if you take a look at the video, you’ll see that the whole thing was an act. If it were real, security would have bum rushed the stage when the first lick was handed out. Continue reading for more pics and to check out the video!

Actress Halle Berry posed for a few pictures as she arrived on the red carpet of her “An Evening of Awareness” charity benefit Monday (Nov 16) at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City. Berry hosted the event, which was held to raise awareness for the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence intervention program, and a 24/7 teen suicide crisis prevention hotline called the “Trevor Project.”

In related news, the 43-year-old actress told OK! Magazine that she doesn’t have any plans to go under the knife … ever! She says she goes through a strict daily beauty regime just so that she won’t have to resort to plastic surgery.

“I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have. I’m really serious about my skincare regimen at night. I never ever go to bed – or even nap – with make-up on.”

British singer Alexandra Burke took the stage Tuesday night (Nov 17) at the Union Chapel in London, England to perform for Mencap’s Little Sound Sessions before fielding questions from the press.

The 21-year-old X Factor champ revealed that she won’t be waiting 3 years to tour like her predecessor Leona Lewis, who just here recently announced that she’ll be going on tour in the spring. Alex says she won’t be waiting that long, and she and her management are already working on something!

“I definitely won’t take as long as Leona. There’s something in the pipeline already for sure. My management were very happy with my performance tonight. They were like ‘you know what, you just proved something to us.’ Performing is what I’m about and doing it for such a special cause in my hometown is inspiring.”

Burke also said she enjoys working with people she feels comfortable with.

“My two backing vocalists are good friends of mine from back in the old days. I’ve known Shaun and Dave since I was 17. It’s important to work with people you can blend with and I feel more comfort-able with them on stage, so keeping my family close to me will be major.”
