It appears Kanye West‘s campaigning has paid off.

For despite the fact that the rapper’s fiance Kim Kardashian boasts no discernible talent, the reality TV staple joins her man a-front of the most prestigious fashion magazine around — Vogue.

In a trade-off for the coveted cover, the controversial couple seem to have toned down their antics – which most recently saw them dry-humping on a motor-cycle in Yeezy’s ‘Bound 2’ video.

***********

Why, how, and who allowed this to happen is anyone’s guess. One thing is certain though, this’ll inevitably spell much more Kardashian coverage for the masses. Joy.

Jennifer Lopez turns up the heat with the visual for her latest single ‘I Luh Ya Papi’.

With eye candy galore, French Montana, and more, the fun & flirty clip sees Lopez taps into her inner “ratchet” to show off her best “Nae Nae” dance amongst a host of other killer dance moves.

Lifted from her tenth album, the tune may not be getting much ‘luh’ from radio and critics at the momento, but will its Jessy Terrero-directed video change that?  You tell us:

Is Justin Bieber rubbishing the role R&B singer Usher plays in his career?

Unfortunately for the ‘Confessions’ singer, the answer to that question is…’Yeah.’ For, after seeing his bodyguard accused of attacking a photographer last year, last week saw him arrive at his deposition where he quizzed on the matter.

It was there, perhaps to the horror of the pair’s mutual mentor LA Reid, did a ‘camera-aware’ Bieber showcase a side of his personality Olivia Pope herself would be hard pressed to tidy.

Why? Watch him mock, sneer and insult his way through the deposition below…

Those ‘Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’ syndication checks may continue to line the pockets of the show’s stars 18 years after it wrapped, yet that hasn’t halted the hustle of Tatyana Ali.

It seems a certain Nick Gordon has grown weary of the negativity that surrounds his marriage with pop icon Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobby Kristina.

Indeed, after grandmother Cissy Houston publicly slammed the union, Bobbi fired back with her own covey of criticism of the 80-year-old.  Now, her husband Nick is the one firing shots.  Taking the Twitter, Gordon – who is also Bobbi’s “adopted” brother – sounded off on Whitney’s brother Gary and recounted what appears to be a physical altercation between the two.
