Following her first post-baby appearance Monday night, new mom Beyonce has stepped out again for the second this week.

The R&B/Pop diva — dressed up in a sparkly black dress that accented her flawless post-baby body and a pair of Gucci heels — was all smiles when photogs spotted her out and about in New York City, where her rapper husband Jay-Z performed in concert at the prestigious Carnegie Hall for the second night in a row.

If you look at Beyonce’s left hand (your right) you will see that she’s wearing a blue bracelet and a blue ring on her index finger (by Lorraine Schwartz), and her nails are painted blue, all in honor of her and Jay-Z’s month-old daughter Blue Ivy.

Showing off her new blonde hairstyle, Rihanna flaunted that perfectly sexy body of hers in a sheer bodysuit as she was spotted leaving a Super Bowl party at Greystone Manor nightclub in West Hollywood Sunday night (Feb 5).

Her ex boyfriend Chris Brown and former rumored love interest (and 2-time collaborator) Drake were also in the building partying it up, which makes the second time in the past 2 weeks that Rihanna and Chris Brown have publicly breathed the same air at the exact same place.

On January 22nd, the pair were spotted leaving Greystone Manor after a night of partying, but they didn’t leave together, nor were they spotted even acknowledging each other’s presence inside the venue.

Brown, who was with his girlfriend Karrueche, left the club through the front door, while Rihanna exited through a side door and hopped into her own SUV.

The week before, Chris’ reps had put out a statement insisting that he and Rihanna are “just friends” following a tabloid report stating that the former lovers would “meet up very casually” and Rihanna “comes to see Brown anytime she’s in L.A.”

“He and Rihanna are just friends,” Chris’ reps noted. “He is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating.”

Chris and Rihanna are both set to perform Sunday night at the Grammys, and they are both up for multiple awards. Do you think they’ll take any pictures or do anything together?

Looks like this “thing” with Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart is getting pretty serious.

Jennifer and Casper, who have been publicly dating since last November, were spotted having a play date on the beach in Malibu with the American Idol judge’s 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.

In some of the photos, Casper — who is also a backup dancer for Lopez — can be seen playfully hoisting little Emme in the air and running around with her and Max as their mom watches on by the beach.

A friend of the couple recently told US Weekly that Smart gets along “great” with Lopez’ two children from her former 7-year marriage with Marc Anthony.

Lopez and Anthony have yet to finalize their divorce, but it looks like things are already heating up between Jennifer and Casper.

“Jennifer wouldn’t introduce him to them unless she know she could trust him,” the friend told US Weekly.

Look at Beyonce!

The R&B/Pop diva — looking voluptuous as ever in a red Alice Temperly dress, which she matched with Ofira & Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, an Alexander McQueen clutch and Christian Louboutin heels — flaunted her post pregnancy body Monday night (Feb 6) in New York City, where her husband Jay-Z headlined a historic concert at Carnegie Hall.

This is the first time new mom Beyonce has been spotted out publicly since giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter a month ago.

Rihanna has gone blonde!

The 23-year-old Pop star tweeted a photo of herself today rocking a new bleach blonde hairdo, which we hear is for an upcoming photoshoot for Elle Magazine, her first magazine cover of the year 2012.

Rihanna was also spotted rocking her new look as she and some friends were leaving the Roxbury nightclub in Hollywood, California last night (Thu. Feb 2).

More photos of Rihanna rocking her new blonde hairstyle are below:

What do you think about Rihanna’s new look?

Steve-O has a new woman in his life…..(and yes she is real!)

The “Jackass” star was spotted out Monday in L.A. swapping tongues with George Clooney‘s ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.

The pair have been dating and keeping a low profile for the past couple weeks. A source told Radar Online:

“Steve makes Elisabetta laugh, and that’s her weakness. That was her favorite thing about George Clooney – he was always cracking her up and playing practical jokes on her. Believe it or not, George has a little ‘Jackass’ in him, and ever since Steve-O got sober, he’s very sensitive and introspective, so Elisabetta is getting the best of both worlds.

“They’re not serious yet, but they are definitely hanging out, and hooking up. They are trying to stay under the radar, so they mostly hang out at her place and watch movies and order in. But they also hit some low key restaurants around her neighborhood too.”

Canalis and Clooney broke things off last June, and the actor has now moved on to WWE star Stacy Keibler.

Going from the suave and debonair George Clooney to “Wild Boy” Steve-O sounds like a serious downgrade to us….but hey, what do we know?

It was just a few weeks ago that Chris Brown and Rihanna were subliminally tweeting each other about love, and now the pair have fueled speculation that they are getting back together even more after being spotted leaving the EXACT SAME L.A. nightclub Sunday night (Jan 22) after a night of partying.

But they didn’t leave together, nor were they spotted even acknowledging each other’s presence inside the venue.

TMZ reported that several people who were at the club (Greystone Manor in West Hollywood) tweeted that as far as they could see, Rihanna and Chris had ZERO contact with each other.

Breezy, who was with his girlfriend Karrueche, left the club through the front door, while Rihanna exited through a side door and hopped into her own SUV.

Just last week, reps for Chris put out a statement insisting that he and his ex girlfriend Rihanna are “just friends” after several insiders said that the pair would “meet up very casually” and Rihanna “comes to see Brown anytime she’s in L.A.”

“He and Rihanna are just friends,” noted Chris’ reps. “He is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating.”

However, a source recently revealed to Radar Online that while Chris and Rihanna have indeed been “hooking up,” they will never get back together.

“They have probably hooked up no more than half a dozen times in the past year. It’s very unlikely that Rihanna and Chris would ever get back together though. Rihanna doesn’t care if she were to get public backlash if they were to reconcile, she is the one calling the shots now, which she likes. Rihanna knows that if they were to get back together, she wouldn’t be able to maintain that strong role, and Chris would lose interest. They are both very young, and Rihanna would never be able to trust Chris because he has problems staying faithful.”

Yeah … Sounds like Chris Brown and Rihanna are “friends” alright. “Friends with Benefits!”

Rihanna jetted to Hawaii for another vacation this past weekend, where the “We Found Love” singer was spotted getting some much needed rest and relaxation as she lounged around at her hotel in Hawaii while smoking a blunt.

What was inside that blunt, no one (but Rihanna) really knows for sure, however, she tweeted the following, in reference to Drake and Nicki Minaj’s “Up All Night,” around the time these pictures were supposedly taken:

Kush rolled, glass full…I prefer the better things!

— Rihanna (@rihanna) January 15, 2012

Sounds like Rihanna was smoking on some of that LOUD!

But apparently that one blunt wasn’t enough, because paparazzi snapped more pics of the singer puffing on a blunt of possibly some more “loud” (a slang term for marijuana with a higher potency) Monday afternoon (Jan 16).

Check out over 15+ pics below:

Rihanna didn’t attend this year’s People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles Wednesday night (Jan 11) in favor of a Clippers Game, which was held literally across the street!

Rihanna was nominated for a couple of PCAs, and actually won in the category for “Favorite R&B Artist,” but she was obviously not in the building to accept her award since she was right across the street at the Staples Center watching the game, which resulted in the L.A. Clippers winning over the Miami Heat, 95 to 89.

More photos of Rihanna watching the Clippers vs. Heat game in L.A. are below:

Rihanna is currently on break from her world tour, and used some of that downtime to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Memphis Grizzlies Sunday night (Jan 8) at the Staples Center in L.A.

The curly-haired singer, dressed in an American flag t-shirt, showed off her long, sexy legs in a pair of cut-off denim shorts, which were covered up by a plaid shirt that she had tied around her waist, as she enjoyed the game with a friend, sipping on a full cup of beer, from her courtside seats.

Justin Bieber showed off a brand new tattoo Thursday (Jan 5) when he was spotted hanging out with his dad Jeremy Bieber and a few friends at a pizzeria in Los Angeles.

Adding to his collection of religious ink-work (a dove on his hip and a Hebrew script of Jesus’ name on his rib cage), JB’s newest tattoo is a huge picture of Jesus’ face, and it covers most of the backside the 17-year-old singer’s upper leg.

The “Baby” singer has yet to comment on his newest tattoo, though in the past he has been very open about his religious views.

“I’m a Christian; I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins,” he told Billboard in an interview last November. “I believe that I have a relationship and I’m able to talk to him and really, he’s the reason I’m here, so I definitely have to remember that.”

Willow Smith, known for her eccentric fashion choices, must be taking notes from her “Fireball” collaborator Nicki Minaj, because the 11-year-old singer stepped out in Beverly Hills Friday (Jan 6) looking like a mini-me version of the Young Money rap-stress.

The precocious Pop star was joined by her 13-year-old brother Jaden Smith and a small group of friends as she went shopping on Rodeo Drive wearing a Nicki Minaj-inspired pink and blonde wig.

“Thank you @nikkiminaj you’re amazing!!!” Willow wrote alongside a photo she posted to her WhoSay page on Friday

More pics of Willow Smith dressed up like a miniature version of Nicki Minaj in Beverly Hills are below:

Jessica Simpson showed off her MASSIVE baby bump, as well as her strong, muscular legs, in a tight-fitting mini-dress while leaving a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills Thursday afternoon (Jan 5).

The 31-year-old fashion mogul, who is expecting her first child with her fiance of nearly 1 year Eric Johnson, accented her outfit with a pair of ridiculously tall black stripper pumps and a huge black purse.

Jessica and Eric are expected to welcome their child sometime in the spring.

Your thoughts on the photo?

Rihanna was spotted outside a tattoo shop in Hollywood yesterday (Fri Jan 6) wearing a rather interesting outfit.

The R&B/Pop singer, who turns 23 next month, wore a funny looking multi-colored sweater that had shades of grey, blue and yellow on it, which she paired with a pair of loose-fitting blue jeans and white pumps. She topped off the crazy outfit with a blue bandana wrapped around her head.

Paparazzi also caught the singer as she was making her way into the popular West Hollywood restaurant Mr. Chow’s.

Looks like Beyonce is still VERY pregnant!

For the first time since rumors last month claimed Beyonce had already given birth to her first child, the R&B/Pop diva was spotted in New York City Thursday night (Jan 5) showing off her HUGE baby bump.

Paparazzi caught the 30-year-old superstar, dressed in skinny jeans, a black blazer and a scarf covering her belly, as she was escorted out of a New York office building alongside her mother Tina Knowles.

This is the first time Beyonce has been pictured since December 21st 2011, however witnesses recently spotted the star and her husband Jay-Z eating at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn on New Year’s Eve.

“She was definitely a pregnant lady that night,” said an onlooker. “They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time.”

The witness said that the parents-to-be feasted on fried chicken and oysters, and also noted that Beyonce’s fashion sense was on point, as usual.

“She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman,” added the source. “She looked like she was about to give birth.”

Beyonce’s younger sister Solange also confirmed that her sister was still very much pregnant on New Year’s Day. “Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!” she tweeted.

Should we put a “New Couple!” alert out on Rocsi Diaz and Raphael Saadiq?

The BET 106 & Park personality and R&B singer have fueled rumors that they are dating after they were spotted on the beach in Miami this past Monday (Jan 2) looking VERY comfortable with each other.

Rocsi played in the ocean and showed off her super sexy bikini body alongside Raphael, who was dressed in a tank-top and camouflage shorts … and the two looked like they were having a great time together as they lounged by the beach.

Rocsi was recently linked to R&B singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, and back in October, sources claimed that they had been dating for months, and spent some QT together in Paris and Milan while Bruno celebrated his 26th birthday.

But neither of them responded to the stories, and never confirmed their status as a couple.

Looks like Rocsi has definitely moved on though, and has a new boo for the new year.

Can you say …. random?!?

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart were spotted holding hands while on a romantic outing in Miami’s South Beach over the recent Holiday weekend.

The 42-year-old cougar star and her much younger 24-year-old dancer boyfriend, both wearing shades and casual attire, were seen shopping for designer sunglasses at a store nearby.

After spending Thanksgiving together in Hawaii, the couple also reportedly spent Christmas AND New Year’s together while a nanny took care of Lopez’s 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.

PHOTOS: Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart Spotted KISSING in L.A.

According to People Magazine, the pair, who first stepped out together last November, kicked off their “hot weekend” together on Thursday night when they went out to a high-tech nightclub called Amnesia, where the couple reportedly rocked special glasses to take in the club’s lighting effects.

“They were very sexy with each other, dancing and bouncing around and making out,” a source at the club told People, adding that the couple attracted a lot of attention, and didn’t leave until 3 a.m. “They couldn’t help but attract attention, although Jennifer was trying to lie low from onlookers.”

“Jennifer looked very happy. Although she kept to herself, there was no question she was really enjoying the club and her boyfriend,” said another on-looker.

When they woke up the next day, with Lopez’s 3-year-old twins in tow, the couple boarded a $10 million yacht owned by a friend.

“Jennifer and Casper held hands and had their arms around each other,” a source told People about their day-to-evening cruise. “The twins were having fun, and everyone seemed to get along.”

To ring in the New Year on Saturday night (Dec 31), a source revealed that the couple joined a group of friends for a private dinner at the Soho Beach House, and spent the entire weekend together at a private home.

“Jennifer wants to keep a low-profile and has been using sunglasses and a plain face with little or no makeup to go unrecognized,” a source in Miami said.

Getting the keys to the Bentley. Check. Spending the Holidays together in Miami. Check. Getting “sexy with each other” at the club, in front of people. Double check. Waking up the next day and boarding a friend’s $10 million yacht. Triple check!

Sounds like this Casper Smart dude is living the life!

Lil Wayne was spotted showing off his unique sense of fashion (a grey Odd Future “Earl” hoodie, animal print shorts, tan Nike Air Yeezy sneakers and a black Kiss fitted cap) as he sat and laughed it up beside Young Money president Mack Maine and actor Adrian Brody at the Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks basketball game in Florida.

Guess it’s safe to assume we’re going to be seeing Weezy wear lots of crazy outfits at more basketball games throughout the remainder of the season.

More photos below:

LeBron James‘ new fiancee Savannah Brinson proudly showed off her huge, pear-shaped diamond engagement ring to courtside photographers at the Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Bobcats basketball game in Florida on Sunday (Jan 1).

The ring, which we hear is valued at around $300,000, is designed in a style that many jewelers claim that have not seen since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s days.

LeBron, whose salary will reportedly top $16 million this season, popped the question to Savannah, his high school sweetheart and the mother of his children, during a private celebratory dinner in South Beach Miami over the weekend.

The couple’s two young sons, LeBron Jr., 7, and Bryce, 4, were on hand to celebrate with them, as well as some of LeBron’s Miami Heat teammates, including Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, along with their respective significant others, Gabrielle Union and Adrienne Bosh.

“It was so sweet to watch,” a rep for Remy Martin V, who hosted the dinner, told People.com. “Everyone is extremely happy.”

Beyonce hosted a screening of her "Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4" DVD on November 20th 2011 in New York City.

The word on the street right now is that Beyonce gave birth to a daughter named “Tiana Marie Carter” over the weekend of Christmas, however a new report from People Magazine states that the 30-year-old singer was clearly eating for two when she was spotted out with her husband Jay-Z on New Year’s Eve at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn.

“She was definitely a pregnant lady that night,” said an onlooker. “They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time.”

The source said that the parents to be feasted on fried chicken and oysters, and also noted that Beyonce’s fashion sense was on point, as usual.

“She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman,” added the source. “She looked like she was about to give birth.”

Beyonce also got props from her sister Solange, who tweeted on New Year’s Day, “Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!”

So we guess that’s confirmation that Beyonce Baby Watch is still on.

We’ll keep you updated with the latest.

Check out a few photos below of the last time Beyonce has been seen publicly, when she was out Christmas shopping on December 21st in the SoHo area of New York City.

Capping off a busy year of touring and promoting not just one, but two album releases, Pop singer Rihanna returned to her homeland of Barbados to kick back, relax and spend some quality time with her friends and family.

The singer, wearing a teeny tiny bikini that allowed her to flaunt her sexy curves with no problem, was spotted soaking up the Barbados sun on the beach with some friends and her younger brothers Rajad and Rorrey Thursday afternoon (Dec 29).

In some of the photos, RiRi and Rajad can be seen tossing each other into the Barbados ocean, while other photos shows Rihanna riding a jet ski with a young friend.

While out and about recently in Miami, fashion designer and former reality TV personality Angela Simmons was spotted wearing the new Air Jordan 11 Concords after apparently leaving the gym.

Because of her status as a celebrity, we’re pretty sure Angela didn’t have to wait a minute (or even a second!) in line for these shoes, unlike the hundreds of thousands of people across the country who camped out for hours, and risked getting either mugged or trampled by the huge, chaotic crowds.

Jealous? Well … you should be! (LOL)

Katy spent her Christmas in Hawaii with friends and family, while Russell spent his all the way on the other side of the world in London with his own friends and family.

Perry was spotted in the ocean in Hawaii on Christmas Day, but her husband, or even her wedding ring for that matter, were nowhere in sight.

Granted, the singer could have taken the ring off to protect it from getting swept away at sea, but still … the question remains.

Why would you spend a family-oriented holiday like Christmas without your significant other … on purpose?

According to an inside source, the huge distance was due to a very heated argument the couple had just before Christmas that ended in an explosive exchange of “f**k yous.”

“They had a massive fight,” the insider said.. “She was like, ‘F**k you. I’m going to do my own thing.’ Russell replied, ‘Fine, f**k you too.”

“They haven’t split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse. Katy doesn’t think Russell respects her parents’ Christian beliefs or her friends. The split may come soon, but they are both so dramatic and volatile, the relationship could become great again,” the anonymous source explained.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see where it goes from here!

Rap superstar Jay-Z was spotted laughing it up last night (Tue. Dec 27) as he watched his team (the New Jersey Nets) take on the opposing Atlanta Hawks at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

If we could make a wild guess at what Jay-Z thought was so funny, we’d say he was most likely laughing at that hilarious rumor that popped up on Media Fake Take Out yesterday, claiming that Beyonce was set to deliver “at any moment.”

According to MediaTakeOut.com, Beyonce is expected to give birth “at any moment.”

Two nurses at New York City’s St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital told the celebrity gossip site that an alert was put out last night to the hospital’s nurses and security that a “celebrity VIP” would be arriving today to give birth.

There is no confirmation that the patient is Beyonce, but that’s the buzz throughout the hospital. And it could very well be true. The superstar singer confirmed that she would be 9-months pregnant now during a scene in her “Live at Roseland: Elements of 4″ DVD.

The nurses also dished that half the floor of the hospital’s luxury “Labor And Delivery Suite” has been booked for the mystery VIP. In fact, it’s the same suite that Alicia Keys delivered her son Egypt in last year.

[HuffPo]

Well … looks like there’s no baby (yet)!

And we highly doubt Jay-Z would be chilling courtside at a basketball game in New Jersey if his wife was due to give birth anytime soon. At least we hope not…

Rappers Lil Wayne and Kanye West were spotted kicking it courtside on Christmas Day (Sun. Dec 25) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles as the Lakers took on the Chicago Bulls in their first home game of the season.

Yeezy spent the Holiday courtside with his father Ray West, while Weezy, a known sports enthusiast, brought along his girlfriend Dhea to watch the game with him.

Other celebs spotted at the game were rocker Adam Levine and his supermodel girflriend Anne Vyalitsyana, as well as comedian George Lopez and rapper Snoop Dogg (not pictured).

Nick Cannon looked like a bank robber as he wore a black ski mask over his face while out shopping with his wife Mariah Carey in Aspen, Colorado over the Christmas Holiday.

Mariah and Nick were spotted making their way out of Mariah’s mother’s jewelry store, and the pair even shared a kiss for the cameras!

It’s an annual tradition for the happily married couple to travel to Aspen for Christmas, except for last year when they didn’t want Mariah to fly while she was pregnant with their twins.

This year, however, the newborn twins Monroe and Moroccan accompanied mommy and daddy on the trip.

Mariah says Christmas is her favorite holiday of all time. She said in a recent interview, “I start planning my Christmas in June. It’s absolutely my favorite holiday and I’ve always loved everything about this time of year. I love cooking and I’m a smash-hit wonder in the kitchen.”

“I’m going to be making the turkey, cranberry sauce and all the trimmings this Christmas,” Mimi continued. “I cooked at Thanksgiving and it was a real success with everyone asking for seconds.”

She added, “Luckily Nick is almost as over-the-top festive as me. One year we hired Santa Claus to come round with real reindeer that looked as if they were going to fly off into the snow at any moment. Everyone loved it.”

Guess the Carey-Cannons really do love Christmas!

15+ photos of Mariah and Nick in Aspen are below:

The 2011-12 NBA season officially kicked off on Christmas Day (Sun. Dec 25) with a number of basketball games, including the Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, which was attended by R&B singer Alicia Keys, her producer/rapper husband Swizz Beatz and their 14-month-old son Egypt.

Other celebs spotted at the Celtics/Knicks game were Spike Lee, Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan.

Look ma, no pants!

Wearing dark shades, high heels, fishnets and a leather jacket, singer Lady Gaga was spotted doing some shopping in France…..without pants. (Hey, that rhymes!)

French paparazzi snapped a couple of quick shots of the pants-less Pop star early Monday (Dec 26) as she made her way out of the Bruce Field store in Paris.

In related Gaga news, a former assistant to the Pop singer, who the Associated Press named their “Entertainer of the Year” last week, is suing her for nearly $400,000 on claims that she was her personal little slave:

Jennifer O’Neill says in her lawsuit … she worked for Gaga for 13 months, and is owed $380,000 in overtime. O’Neill says in her suit her job included “ensuring the promptness of a towel following a shower and serving as a personal alarm clock to keep [Gaga] on schedule.”

O’Neill claims she had to cater to Gaga in “stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses.”

And, O’Neill says, she was required to be at Gaga’s beck and call at her “earliest waking hour.”

O’Neill is suing for the $380k — which represents 7,168 hours of overtime during the 13 months.

Gaga is not a defendant. O’Neill is suing Mermaid Touring Company, which Gaga uses for concerts and what not.

Gaga’s rep told the New York Post the suit is “completely without merit.”

[TMZ]

Beyonce is definitely pregnant!

The singer, who is reportedly at least 8 or even 9 months pregnant by now, tried to keep a low profile as she did some last minute Christmas shopping with her mother Tina Knowles in Vancouver (Canada) recently.

Beyonce’s highly protective bodyguards stayed close to her and made sure no one snapped any pics, however, the store’s security cameras captured a few grainy shots of the pregnant singer as she browsed around the store and checked out their baby section … and it appears that she’s finally showing off that baby weight everybody’s been dying to see.

One more photo of Big Beyonce (via Necole Bitchie) below:

Guess those pesky surrogate rumors can finally be put to rest now.

Speaking of those rumors … for shits and giggles, check out these two painfully obvious “blind items” this website that specializes in that sorta thing post last week:

“Blind Item” #1 – What To Expect When Floppy’s Expecting:

Well, this certainly has been the most incredible pregnancy ever! Bellies growing and shrinking! Breasts swelling and flattening! Prosthetics flopping and popping!

Frankly, all this trickery is exhausting, and hasn’t been nearly as convincing as she hoped it would be. Therefore, Floppy will be keeping a low profile for the next month.

So, she’s not really pregnant, but there will be a baby soon. And Floppy has been very busy behind the scenes shaking that baby money tree! Some money is going out (payments to medical professionals who will swear that they were there for the birth), but much, much more money will be coming in.

She will be making money off of the fake story of the baby’s birth (which will be a C-section for Real Mommy but a “vaginal” delivery for Floppy). And more money off of the baby photos. And the story of how important it is to her that she “breast-feeds” her baby. And the story of how she lost the “baby weight”. And the photos of her “new” body (with no stretch marks!) achieved with grueling workouts and healthy eating. And more stories about how amazingly fast she got back into shape and got back to work. What an incredible woman! Hey, there’s serious money to be made off of this baby, and you can be sure that Floppy will “milk” it for all it’s worth.

“Blind Item” #2 – You Probably Wouldn’t Notice Her:

She was brought in from outside the United States. She only speaks Spanish (or Portuguese?), and has a child who is approximately Kindergarten age. She is fairly attractive, looks like she is in her late twenties, and has thick, dark brown hair and medium-colored skin. You probably wouldn’t notice her if she was walking down the street. However, it doesn’t really matter what she looks like, as she is simply the Surrogate for a baby that is a genetic combination of the soon-to-be Mom and Dad.

The Surrogate is currently living on the Lower West Side of Manhattan with her first child in a very nice apartment. She is not married, and does not really know anyone in New York, but she does want to stay here once the birth is over. The apartment is being paid for by the Couple. The Surrogate is well-cared for by a full-time staff person and there is always a doctor or nurse on call. She looks like she is approximately eight months pregnant, and is clearly much bigger than the Mom, who is simply playing pregnant.

By the way, the Mom was physically capable of bearing her own child, but she didn’t want to “ruin” her body.

SMDH at the great lengths people go just to keep a rumor going…

Mariah Carey was all smiles as she took her sunglasses off and posed for photographers while out and about in Aspen, Colorado yesterday (Wed. Dec 21).

The new mom is vacationing at the popular winter destination in keeping with an annual Christmas tradition of hers, and, in addition to her husband Nick Cannon, reportedly brought along her twins Moroccan and Monroe to join in on the fun.

Photogs caught the 41-year-old singer this week as she was doing some shopping and paying a visit to her mom’s Jewelry store.

Looks like someone is trying to spice things up in the bedroom!

Beyonce was spotted out buying some lingerie at Agent Provocateur in West Hollywood Wednesday afternoon (Dec 14).

Showing off her growing baby bump, the pregnant singer wore a baggy blue striped jumper and dark sunglasses — in attempt to go “incognito” we assume — while she walked around and bought sexy undergarments.

Beyonce recently revealed that she plans to have a quiet Christmas with her husband, rapper Jay-Z.

“I will be with family. We are both so busy throughout the year that Christmas is just a time to relax with family and count the many blessings in your life,” she told New! magazine.

As far as exchanging gifts on Christmas Day is concerned, Beyonce says her presents for her famous husband will most likely be baby related. “We both keep seeing super-cute stuff for the baby, so I am sure even our presents for each other will involve the baby in some way!”

Beyonce’s baby is reportedly due any day now, and could possibly arrive around Christmas.

Keri Hilson was spotted heading out of LAX over the weekend after celebrating her 29th birthday in West Hollywood with friends, including fellow R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo.

In unrelated video footage taken right after Hilson left Boa restaurant in West Hollywood following her private birthday dinner, as she was walking to her car and signing autographs for a few fans, the R&B singer was confronted by a reporter about her alleged beef with Beyonce.

When asked about the Queen of Pop, Hilson gave no reply and continued making her way to her car, only saying “thank you” after being complimented on her dress.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed more in love than ever as they shared a kiss at a recent wedding ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico.

The beach-side wedding, held Friday (Dec. 9), was for a friend of Selena’s (You can put your pitchforks down now Bieber fans!) … and the young couple stayed close together while Selena, dressed in a halter neck sapphire blue dress, carried out her duties as a bridesmaid.

In keeping with the casual nature of the ceremony, Justin went for a relaxed look with a cream blazer with the sleeves rolled up, a simple white V-neck T-shirt, a pair of green capri pants with the legs rolled up (and his signature “sag”), which he paired with black Vans tennis shoes.

According to reports, Selena met the bride, Shannon Larossi, on the set of her hit Disney Channel show “Wizards of Waverly Place,” where Shannon was a costume designer.

Though Justin wasn’t a part of ceremony, naturally, since he’s “Justin Bieber” and all, he was still involved with the wedding photography and posed for lots of photos with his girlfriend and the rest of bridal party.

Check out the pics below:

Nicki Minaj was spotted leaving her hotel in New York City yesterday (Fri. Dec 9).

Wearing a long black wig with bangs, a big fur coat and a pair of red sunglasses, the Young Money rapstress, accompanied by her “friend” Safaree Samuels, kept her head low as she stepped out of her hotel after celebrating her 29th birthday with friends (including Cassie and Diddy) the night before.

Earlier this week, Nicki got a kiss from Madonna while shooting the video for the Pop Queen’s new single “Give Me All Your Love” with M.I.A.

“In the presence of greatness. MADONNA,” Nicki tweeted. “OH MY f’ingggg Gahhhh!!!!! MADONNA jus kissed me!!!!! On the lips!!!!!!! It felt sooooo good. Soooo soft!!!! *passes out* aaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!”

“*Kisses each one of my barbz so they too can taste queen madonna* I love u guys sooo much!!!! This video is of epic proportion! Love uuuu!!!” Nicki wrote in another tweet, adding that the kiss was recorded and she “was shocked but kissed back.”

Jennifer Hudson was spotted out Thursday afternoon (Dec 8) with the two most important men in her life: her super-buff fiance David Otunga and their adorable 2-year-old son David Jr.

Rumors swirled earlier this year that Jennifer and David had called it quits, however reps for the singer/actress, along with these new photos of her and her family out and about in Beverly Hills, California, proved those reports to be false.

Jennifer covers the December 2011/January 2012 issue of Ebony Magazine, where she talks about how her fiance saved her life back in October 2008 when her family members were murdered.

“He wanted me to come out to Florida with him instead of going to Chicago,” Hudson explains. “I flew out to see him; that’s why I’m still here. That’s one of the things that saved my life. Because I could have been home with my mom then. I’ve never said that before, and I can’t believe I just said that now. But I didn’t know.”

Oh Baby! Beyonce rubs her baby bump as she leaves a New York City nail salon with her mother.

Beyonce and her world-famous baby bump were spotted leaving Sakura Nails in New York City yesterday (Wed. Dec 7).

The pregnant superstar, who is rumored to be due to give birth in a few short weeks, was accompanied by her bodyguard Julius and her mother Tina Knowles as she left the East Village nail salon.

Speaking of Mama Tina … Beyonce said in her “20/20″ interview with Katie Couric that her mother is very protective of her and her unborn child, and was furious when a nasty rumor popped up accusing Beyonce of faking her pregnancy and wearing a prosthetic baby bump.

“There’s some things that are so far (fetched) that it doesn’t even upset you,” she said in the interview that aired last Friday. “(But) my mother, she’s like, ‘Nobody’s talking about my grandbaby (like that). My grandbaby’s not even here yet… I don’t like it!’ I’m like, ‘Calm down mom, it’s OK, it’s really silly.’ My mom is really protective and so is my sister, but I’m cool. It’s so ridiculous and over the top.”

Check out the pics of Beyonce and Mama Tina leaving the nail salon below:

A shirtless Justin Bieber kicked it poolside in Mexico yesterday (Dec 7) with his hot girlfriend Selena Gomez, who was definitely dressed for the part in blue bikini.

The happy couple are reportedly in Mexico for a friend’s wedding, but before attending the ceremony, the pair of lovebirds spent the earlier part of the day hanging out by the pool at their hotel where they did “happy couple” things … like smiling and making googly eyes, and taking pictures of each other.

Chris Brown and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran were spotted out in L.A. with some friends doing some shopping on Melrose Avenue Sunday afternoon (Dec 4).

The R&B star, dressed quite casually in khaki pants, a red/white striped shirt and a denim jacket with a little teddy bear attached to it, was also seen with his bodyguards carrying two big boxes of shoes. (Sounds like Breezy almost bought out the store! LOL)

At the end of his shopping spree, paparazzi snapped photos of CB and his crew leaving the area in a bright orange, drop-top Chevy Impala hoopty.

Check out the pics below:

Clearly not afraid to show off a little PDA, Jennifer Lopez and her new back-up dancer boyfriend Casper Smart were spotted locking lips in L.A. recently outside a studio where they were rehearsing.

The new couple have been spending some serious time together too! They reportedly spent some quality time together while on vacation in Hawaii over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and according to our friends over at Celebuzz, are now in Morocco. (The kissing photos were snapped BEFORE they jetted off to Hawaii together.)

But don’t take this new romance too seriously though. Relationship expert Dr. Wendy Walsh says that J.Lo is probably looking for something “fun and light while she heals” from divorcing Marc Anthony, whom she was married to for 7 years.

What do you think about J.Lo’s new “fling” with Casper Smart?

Since Kanye West‘s public break-up with Amber Rose, the rapper has been seen with (and rumored to be dating) a number of women, including a couple of foreign models (Angela Martini, Virginie Maury, etc.) and even American supermodel Chanel Iman.

And last night, the 34-year-old emcee was spotted getting close with a mystery woman as he partied it up at Mokai, a popular nightclub in Miami.

Ye and the brunette reportedly hit it off, and they laughed, sipped on drinks and engaged in conversation the whole night. At one point, the woman noticed they were being watched, so she put both her hands up in front of her face to try and prevent people from photographing her.

The few, blurry photos spies were able to snap are below:

Selena Gomez and Katy Perry blow bubblegum bubbles, while Nicki Minaj makes one of her famous funny faces and Taylor Swift looks completely lost and out of the “action” in this candid photo from the 2011 American Music Awards!

The AMAs aired live on ABC Sunday night (Nov 20) and featured appearances/performances from so many celebrities that it would be too many to name.

But believe it or not, some of the best moments happened backstage and/or in the audience … and we have the photos to prove it!

So what are you waiting for? Check them out below!!

Following an introduction from Alanis Morissette, R&B diva Mary J. Blige, dressed in all white, gave a soul-baring performance of her Drake-assisted single “Mr. Wrong” (without the Young Money rapper) during last night’s American Music Awards in L.A.

Watch the performance below:

Apparently, Lady Gaga pees in trash cans. And why does Lady Gaga pee in trash cans?

Because she doesn’t have time to pee in real toilets, duh!

No, really. Apparently it is sometimes a real hassle for her to use a real toilet once she’s put on one of her crazy costumes. So instead of going through the “trouble” of walking down the hall to use the toilet, Gaga conviently pops a squat over a nearby trashcan.

In a recent interview with TV personality Alan Carr, the strange Pop star said:

“I do quite often pee in the dressing room, in the trash can. It would have been an interesting photo today because I had a big pink bow on, and I was over the trash can. The bathroom is down the hall, and I was naked. It was just me, my bow and my nakedness. Me and my dustbin have a very important relationship.”

And that was your Lady Gaga time-saving tip of the day!

Kinda gross, but … it’s Lady Gaga. You should be used to this by now.

In addition to peeing in crash can, Lady Gaga also likes to wear bright pink sperm hats. Check out some photos of her leaving her hotel in London last Wednesday (Nov 16) wearing one below:

A pissed off Justin Bieber flipped off photographers as he and his team left a restaurant in the UK earlier this week.

The 17-year-old Pop star and his entourage had been eating dinner at Mr. Chows in London just before he gave cameras a “one-finger” salute.

He didn’t explain why he did it and it was not apparent what had angered him to make the offensive gesture.

Wearing his blue Golden State Warriors baseball cap low and pulling the collar of his cream jacket up over his mouth he clearly was in no mood to stop and talk.

Maybe he had a bad fortune cookie after his Chinese meal?

This isn’t the first time the Biebs has given photogs “The Finger” either. He infamously gave paparazzi the middle finger back in March after they hounded him while he was on a date with his girlfriend Selena Gomez on his 17th birthday.

“Had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness. [...] It’s not always easy but i know better than to react in anger,” JB tweeted the next day.

Wonder what’s got him so pissed off this time around though?

Beyonce was spotted enjoying some family time down in Miami Tuesday afternoon (Nov 15) with her husband Jay-Z, mom Tina Knowles and nephew Julez.

The pregnant singer was all smiles as she showed off her growing baby bump in a sheer blue dress. In one shot, she can be seen taking a picture of Tina, Julez and Jay-Z (who chose to show off his chest with a white shirt that he left unbuttoned at the top).

Beyonce is reportedly due in February.

Those rumors about Eva Longoria and Matt Barnes dating may be true after-all!

To add more fuel to the fire, Eva was spotted out yesterday picking the NBA star up from LAX airport.

Barnes attempted to cover his face with his hoodie, but from the looks of the pic above, his attempt wasn’t so successful.

Despite being seen together, sources are still claiming the two are not romantically involved and are just good friends.

We’re not buying this good friends bullsh*t one bit! Do they honestly think we believe she was the only person in the world who could have given Matt a ride? GTFOH!!!

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez aren’t letting their divorce affect their joint business ventures.

The former couple reunited last week in Puerto Rico for the filming of their upcoming Latin talent show “¡Q’Viva! The Chosen.”

Together they watched auditions and appeared to be having a good time. (Hey …at least they can let bygones be bygones and get that paper!!)

The show is expected to air in the U.S. in early 2012.

Lady Gaga, usually known for her highly unusual wardrobe, actually looked pretty normal as she greeted fans and photographers when she was spotted leaving her hotel in London over the weekend (Sat. Nov 12).

Dressed in a frilly bright pink blouse and a black skirt with a large belt, which she matched with black red-bottom Christian Louboutin heels, black leather gloves and cat-eye sunglasses, Gaga stepped out of her London hotel in a more classic and conservative look. (Something we are totally not used to!)

Check out the pictures below:

What do you think of Lady Gaga’s classic looking outfit?

Katie Holmes and her always adorable daughter Suri Cruise were spotted in New York City yesterday (Thur. Nov 10) while on the way to a taping of “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

As the pair greeted the awaiting photogs, Suri hammed it up for the cameras, making funny faces that even had her famous mom giggling.

The mommy-daughter duo are in New York City while Katie is doing press for “Jack and Jill,” her new movie with Adam Sandler.
