Kanye’s bald-headed “Buss It Baby” Amber Rose is working hard on her modeling career — just look at all the trashy posing she’s doing in the October issue of Elle.
A Twittering Chris Brown ditched the fluorescent safety vest in favor of nipples as he continued to perform community labor in his home state of Virginia, a punishment for pleading guilty to assaulting pop star ex Rihanna earlier this year.
Kanye West received nine nominations for the fourth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards on Thursday — even though the star is still under fire for his controversial stage-crashing at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards last weekend. The rapper caused a stir after he interrupted 19-year-old country singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs Sunday.
Kanye’s recent album, 808s & Heartbreak, has sold over a million copies.
Jay-Z and Lil Wayne land second-most nominations, with seven nods apiece, while incarcerated “King of the South” T.I. received six nods.
The network will also recognize veteran rapper Ice Cube with the “I Am Hip-Hop” Icon Award. The show –hosted by comedian Mike Epps — will air Oct. 27.
NBA MVP Lebron James will make his feature film debut by playing himself in an upcoming comedy.
The Cavaliers superstar willl appear in Fantasy Basketball Camp by Universal Pictures. The movie is about five guys from different backgrounds who come to Las Vegas to live out their fantasy by attending James’ basketball camp.
Brian Grazer is producing the flick, and he’s convinced Lebron can make the transition to the big screen — especially after appearing in numerous TV commercials and hosting Saturday Night Live.
“I initially sought LeBron out because my 8-year-old son, Thomas, and I were just dying to meet him,” Grazer said Thursday. “But I felt that beyond being one of the world’s great superstar athletes, here was someone so relaxed and comfortable with himself that he would have the capability to be that way on screen. Later, when I watched him host ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and saw his advertising work, it was clear he can do this.”
Production on Fantasy Basketball Camp will begin next summer, when LBJ — an All-Star forward — can become a free agent.
