Kayne and Amber Rose Out Again

Kanye West and Amber Rose were spotted together again at the Vivienne Westwood Red Label 2009 Catwalk Show at the National Hall in London, England. Source have reported that the two have been spied hanging on dates with video model Amber Rose, who’s known for dancing and appearing in music videos such as Ludacris’ “What Them Girls Like,” Young Jeezy’s “Vacation,” and for her very sexy, half-naked photo shoot for Smooth Magazine.

So, are we to assume they’re an official couple now?

Celebrity Lifestyles: Salma Hayek

Here are some great shots of Salma Hayek’s amazing Beverly Hills home! This is the home that hosted the infamous bash the last week of January. What? You didn’t hear about the party? Let’s give you all the juicy details!

Salma Hayek and Harvey Weinstein through the event in honor of Penelope Cruz after her Oscar nomination for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” A laundry list of stars appeared to share in the celebration including Scarlett Johansson and new husband Ryan Reynolds. Also in attendance were Ashton and Demi, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Antonio Banderas with Melanie Griffith, Charlize Theron and partner Stuart Townsend, Angela Bassett and her husband Courtney.
The New York Daily News reported:

“It was all celebs, with 1% normal people,” laughed one reveler. “Everyone’s eyes were riveted to the door, wondering who would come in next.”

Hayek greeted guests with daughter Valentina, 16 months old, on her hip. “Everyone gushed about how beautiful she is,” said our source. “Salma was so proud.”

The theme for the evening was inspired by the “Vicky” flick. Hayek’s house was decked out as a photographer’s darkroom/studio, with pictures of Cruz strung from wires across the walls. Aaron Eckhart, Eva Mendes, Adrien Brody, Drew Barrymore and others in the crowd milled about, captivated
by the images.

In one room, “Demi and Ashton huddled together for most of the night, but Ashton eventually broke off and was engrossed with Quincy Jones in the corner,” our spy reports. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced a joint project in six months, after their intense conversation.”

Johansson shocked the 100 or so guests with her “deeply dyed red hair,” our spy dishes. “She told friends it was for an upcoming role, but people were still doing double takes.”

Meanwhile, a soda-sipping Colin Farrell, sporting a shaved head for similar reasons, headed upstairs with Hayak to help put Valentina to bed. And since rock star Prince was milling about, some guests were buzzing that he’d be performing on the grand piano in Hayek’s living room. But the Purple One never touched the keys. Instead, he opted for a chat with Weinstein, co-chair of the company that produced “Vicky.”

“Harvey was holding court in the middle of the room. Everyone was congratulating him on all his Oscar nods. Even Catherine Zeta Jones snuck up behind him and surprised him with a hug! He was getting a lot of praise for ‘The Reader,’ too,” said our spy.

The evening’s funniest moment? When Brett Ratner’s “slick blond date” kept accidentally dimming the lights by leaning on them. Snickered our source: “Brett and his girl were too busy putting their hands on each other to notice they almost shut off the lights!”

Do You Know Your British Celebs?

We are in the business of knowing Celebs, but we know you readers are as sharp as they get. We thought we’d give our Yankee readers a challenge to see if they could figure out who these Celebs from across the pond are. Name the following British Stars:

Buzzfoto Blind Item #58: Disappearing Act

Which Film Star has been absent for almost the past two weeks on the set of their new movie? The directors and other actors are getting so frustrated, they are forgetting to care that this guy is a big name in the movie biz.

It’s not Robert Downey Jr.

John Legend is a Fan of Free Speech

John Legend and his girlfriend shopped at Intermix Clothing Boutique in Los Angeles, California. The singer has voiced several controversial statements over the past few days, the first when he shared his thoughts on the Chris Brown/Rihanna Domestic Violence Scandal.

John Legend told sources, “I know both of them. I was surprised when I heard because it doesn’t strike me as something Chris would do,” Legend told sources in Las Vegas on Thursday, where he performed at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue release party.
“You never know what’s inside people or what can trigger that. It’s an awful story,” he said. “I feel terrible for both of them but if Chris did what they said he did, that’s unacceptable. He has to accept the consequences of it.”

The second public statment John Legend made was in the form of a letter to the editor of the New York Post over a controversial cartoon. The New York Post ran an editorial cartoon on Wednesday comparing the author of the federal stimulus bill to a crazed chimpanzee shot by police earlier in the week after attacking a woman in Connecticut. We have included John’s letter here:

Dear Editor:

I’m trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really?

Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our president has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon?

If that’s not what you intended, then it was stupid and willfully ignorant of you not to connect these easily connectable dots. If it is what you intended, then you obviously wanted to be grossly provocative, racist and offensive to the sensibilities of most reasonable Americans. Either way, you should not have printed this cartoon, and the fact that you did is truly reprehensible. I can’t imagine what possible justification you have for this. I’ve read your lame statement in response to the outrage you provoked. Shame on you for dodging the real issue and then using the letter as an opportunity to attack the Rev. Sharpton. This is not about Sharpton. It’s about the cartoon being blatantly racist and offensive.

I believe in freedom of speech, and you have every right to print what you want. But freedom of speech still comes with responsibilities and consequences. You are responsible for printing this cartoon, and I hope you experience some real consequences for it. I’m personally boycotting your paper and won’t do any interviews with any of your reporters, and I encourage all of my colleagues in the entertainment business to do so as well. I implore your advertisers to seriously reconsider their business relationships with you as well.

You should print an apology in your paper acknowledging that this cartoon was ignorant, offensive and racist and should not have been printed.

I’m well aware of our country’s history of racism and violence, but I truly believe we are better than this filth. As we attempt to rise above our difficult past and look toward a better future, we don’t need the New York Post to resurrect the images of Jim Crow to deride the new administration and put black folks in our place. Please feel free to criticize and honestly evaluate our new president, but do so without the incendiary images and rhetoric.

Sincerely,

John Legend

Natalie P. is Talented

Natalie Portman was out and about yesterday as she had a two hour meeting at a talent agency. We caught this EXCLUSIVE set as she headed to the parking attendant to retrieve her keys a few days ago in Beverly Hills, California. Natalie wore black jeans with a purple shirt and carried a military patterned purse. She also wore sunglasses. As she drove away, a very noticeable scratch was seen on her new Hybrid. Oops. According to the parking attendant, Natalie was there to see a talent agent.
