Ray J Involved in Violent Altercation With Girlfriend Princess Love
It seems as if there’s always something going on in the world of Ray J. The Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood reality star was involved in a violent altercation with his girlfriend and LHHH co-star Princess Love.
According to TMZ, Love was arrested in New Orleans last Wednesday (Feb. 11) following a fight with Ray J inside their hotel room. It all started when Ray J return to his room after spending the night at a local strip club.
In a statement made to the police, the “Hit It First” singer alleges that his girlfriend had attacked him, resulting in the singer suffering a torn ACL, cracked ribs and a busted lip. A witness reportedly told cops that they overheard Princess scream “I’m gonna kill you” to Ray J during the attack.
Word is that the police were alerted after hotel security spotted Ray J running out of the couple’s suite and noticed him bleeding profusely. Love was reportedly arrested and booked on charges of domestic abuse and battery.
Rapper Eve must have been right when she said “Love is Blind,” because sources also say that the “One Wish” singer bailed his jailbird lover out of the bing and put up the $10,000 legal fee for her defense attorney.
While we don’t know what will come out of this lovers’ quarrel, we just hope that Ray J isn’t seriously injured. The world wouldn’t be the same without his hilarious – albeit immature – outbursts and tactics on Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood.

Kanye West x Adidas Originals Yeezy Fall 2015 Footwear Collection
Kanye West is having the most productive week of his career. The rapper-designer unveiled his Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost sneaker. He then launched his clothing line with the sportswear company during New York Fashion Week.
The entire Kanye West x Adidas Originals Fall 2015 Footwear Collection actually boasts three different shoes that are geared for both men and women. Of course, there’s the Adidas Originals Yeezy 750 Boost but there’s also a low top version of the sneaker with the feel of a runner in a minimalistic silhouette.
Finally, a stylized snow boot with a slight platform heel on its outsole seems ready-made for the ladies to wear. The boot also resembles the pair Yeezy wore on Saturday Night Live‘s 40th Anniversary Special, so there might be a men’s version as well.
We know that the Yeezy 750 Boost will hit stores on Feb. 28, but as for the rest of the clothing, it’s unclear when they will be available. One thing’s for sure, West’s first sneaker collaborative with Adidas appears to be a huge success.

Lesley Gore, 'It's My Party' Singer, Passed Away at 68
Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, who earned a No. 1 hit with “It’s My Party” in 1963, has died. Her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson, told the Associated Press, she passed away on Monday from lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center. She was 68.
The Brooklyn born and New Jersey-raised artist was discovered by Quincy Jones and signed to Mercury Records when she was 16 years old. Together, Jones and Gore had a brief run of hits about adolescent love and heartbreak including “Judy’s Turn to Cry” (the sequel to “It’s My Party”), “She’s a Fool” and “Maybe I Know.”
Gore, who graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a degree in English/American literature, also co-wrote “Out Here On My Own,” with her brother Michael, for the film Fame. The tune was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1980.
Gore is also known by comic book fanboys for her portrayal of Catwoman’s sidekick Pussycat in the 1960′s cult television show Batman.
Gore’s lyrically phrase, “It’s my party, I’ll cry if I want to,” has been referenced by a slew of rappers and singers in the hip-hop and R&B world.
Mostly notably, Drake on his 2011 song ‘Take Care,’ in which he sings, “It’s my birthday, I’ll get high if I want to.” Fellow rapper Fabolous also used Gore’s catchy line on his 2003 song, “This Is My Party.”
On the R&B side, Robin Thicke sang the phrase seductively on his 2009 love ballad “Sex Therapy,” and Icona Pop made the line their anthemic calling card on the slinky EDM track, “It’s My Party” featuring Ty Dolla $ign.
In addition to Sasson, Gore is survived by her brother and mother, Ronny. Services will be held on Thursday (Feb. 19) at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home in New York.
We want to send our condolences to Gore’s family and friends. May she rest in peace.

Amber Rose and Khloe Kardashian Engaged in a Twitter Feud
Amber Rose is famous for showing off her curvaceous body on social media, but recently she found herself in a Twitter beef with Khloe Kardashian on Monday (Feb. 16).
Is a strange twist, Khloe is the sister of Kim Kardashian who is the wife of Kanye West whom Rose very publicly dated. Talk about six degrees of separation.
Apparently, when the blonde-haired beauty appeared on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club,” she was asked about Tyga and Kylie Jenner’s relationship. Side note: Kylie is Khloe’s half-sister.
Rose threw a little shade and said that Tyga should be ashamed of himself for dating a 17-year-old girl.
“She’s a baby, she needs to go to bed at 7 o’clock and relax,” she said. “That’s ridiculous. He [Tyga] should be ashamed of himself. That’s how I feel. For sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17.”
This didn’t sit well with Khloe who lashed out at Rose for poking her nose in their business. The 30-year-old reality-TV star went on Twitter and tweeted about Rose being a stripper when she was 15 years old.
“Please don’t worry about my sister who has a career & her shit together at ONLY 17 people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones,” she wrote.
Khloe then added that reporters often ask her about other celebrities and she makes it a point to not comment about them. She then tweeted that Rose doesn’t know any of the family members and should keep quiet.
“3 sides to EVERY story. His, hers and the truth. I’m not passing judgment but I wish others would do the same until they have FACTS,” she tweeted.
Rose clapped back with a couple of tweets but she left two photos with some biting commentary. One pic features her ex-boyfriend West and the statement, “When Ur Sister in Law Calls Out Ur Ex for Being a Stripper…But Ur Wife Has a Sex Tape.”
Ouch! It looks like Rose threw Khloe and Kim under the bus.
Finally, Rose went on Instagram and shared a creative illustration of Kanye warning the Kardashian women, “She’s From South Philly, Y’all Might Not Want This Problem.”
Clearly, Rose is insinuating that she can and will deliver the fade if need be on any Kardashian who wants it.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Wear Matching Blue Contacts [PHOTOS]
A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Feb 15, 2015 at 8:01pm PST
Is Kanye West feeling a little blue? The rapper-producer’s performance on Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary Special was a little strange to say the least. During his rendition of “Jesus Walks” and “Wolves,” Yeezy was wearing blue contact lenses.
It was hard to see West’s eyes during the performance but his wife, Kim Kardashian, made sure the world knew that her hubby was donning icey blue contacts. The bodacious celebutante shared photos of her and West donning the accessory.
Of course, the pics generated hundreds of comments from their fans. Some were horrified by West wearing the contacts, while others understood that it’s just Kanye being Kanye.
“Oh no don’t tell me u did that [you got the] surgery too dawg. Kim’s is contacts but bruhhhh I know u went above n beyond smh,” wrote one follower. Another commenter said, “He looks like a vampire.”
West has been very busy guy for the past week. The designer just launched his Adidas Yeezy Boost sneaker and unveiled his fashion line with the footwear brand during New York Fashion Week.
There’s still no word if Yeezy will release a studio quality version of the ‘Wolves’ track, which features Vic Mensa and Sia.
Check out the photos below.

Dressed in a black-and-white cheerleading-style miniskirt, bra and stilettos, the pint-sized vocalist belted out six-song medley of her chart-topping hits. Backed by her dancers, Grande performed “Problem” before seguing into her most recent Top 10 hit, “Love Me Harder.”
