The 12 All-Time Cutest Photos Of Celebrity BFFs Rihanna and Katy Perry

Obviously the tragic death of Whitney Houston on Saturday cast a long shadow over last night’s Grammy Awards. But that’s not to say that music’s biggest night was completely somber. All we had to do was look at celeb BFFs Rihanna and Katy Perry to feel our spirits lift! The two pop queens have been friends for years, and made sure to get seats next to each other in L.A.’s massive Staples Center arena. Awww! We used to do the same thing with our best friend during middle school! Except that was during lunch time and not Grammy night. But same difference.

The ladies are as close as two always-on-the-go superstars can be. Riri organized Katy’s bachelorette party prior to her (sadly short-lived) marriage to Russell Brand. Katy apparently even asked her to strip for it! “When I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air,” Rihanna gushed to Glamour magazine in 2011. “I just couldn’t believe this chick had no edit button.” So in honor of their friendship, we’ve put together a little scrap book of the pair’s cutest photos! Ok, “cute” is a relative term when dealing with these rock ‘n’ roll bad girls. Hence the shot of them flipping the bird. But the pix are still pretty heart warming. Check out more in the gallery below!

Amber Rose Explains, Then Repeats, Kim Kardashian Homewrecker Comment

Get More: RapFix Live

Amber Rose is our kind of vengeful ex. Even when she tries to walk back her comments branding Kim Kardashian a homewrecker, she still manages to call Kim Kardashian a homewrecker. “I don’t like to call women names, because I’m about women empowerment,” the model and singer told MTV’s RapFix this week when asked about statements blaming Kim for Amber’s breakup with Kanye West. “I spoke on my emotions that day — I was just so frustrated.” Actually, that’s pretty mature when you think about and…oh, wait, here comes the burn. “Kim is the home wrecker, I’m not the home wrecker. I don’t date men in relationships; I don’t do that to other women,” fumed Amber, denying that she subsequently demolished Kim’s relationship with ex Reggie Bush. Can’t you just pretend that’s why you dated him, Amber? What? Can’t we live vicariously though a beautiful femme fatale who somehow looks that good in a raccoon hat? Like you weren’t thinking the exact same thing!

While Amber might feel a little remorse ripping on Kim in public, that guilty does not extend to the Kardashian family at large. “I feel like Kim and her family, they manipulate the media and they want people to believe what they want them to believe,” Amber explains. “I just had to put the truth out there and I had to get it off my chest.” Amber then took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, slashed a hole in all four tires and then made three snaps in a Z formation until she dislocated her shoulder…like a boss.

Amber Rose Feels So, So Bad She Called Kim Kardashian A Homewrecker

Amber Rose truly regrets the fact that she called Kim Kardashian a “homewrecker” last week for allegedly hooking up with Kanye West while he and Rose were still a couple. Don’t get her wrong, Kim definitely is a homewrecker; Amber is just so, so sorry she actually said it out loud. “I actually feel bad that I called [Kim] a homewrecker … ’cause that was kind of mean,” the model and singer told TMZ, adding “I forgive her … and I forgive Kanye too … it’s not a big deal, you know?” Sure! We often bring up our exes’ infidelities to the press for that exact reason. Because it’s such a teeny, tiny insignificant deal! Haha! Stop judging us.

Of course, since Amber is currently canoodling with Wiz Khalifa, we imagine it might be time for girlfriend to just get over it. Or at least pretend to in public. “I’m not a mean-spirited person,” Amber insisted. “I just acted on my emotions when I said it.” Now the more important question for Kim is: Does it count as being a homewrecker if you wreck your own home? Talk amongst yourselves.

Kanye West Is Your New Boss, Everyone

At some points in our lives, we will all work for a megalomaniacal genius boss. It’s not an easy, but it can be rewarding. And if you have to work for a guy who thinks he can change the world, why not work for Kanye West? Of the many things we learned from his latest all-night Twitter rant, the most important one seems to be that we’re all invited to apply for jobs at his new company, DONDA (named after his late mother). This is no mere fashion line, people. He wants to “pick up where Steve Jobs left off”:

“DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas,” he wrote last night. “I am assembling a team of architects, graphic designers, directors musicians, producers, AnRs, writers, publicist, social media experts… app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionist … doctors, scientist,teachers…

“DONDA will be comprised of over 22 divisions with a goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford,” he continued. “We want to help simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see hear, touch, taste and feel. To dream of, create, advertise and produce products driven equally by emotional want and utilitarian need.. To marry our wants and needs.”

The fact that he included an email address, contactDONDA@gmail.com, makes it seem like he’s serious. I would not like to apply for the job of sorting through those emails, btw.

Yeezy even gives a couple of concrete examples of what DONDA will do, including a “new 7 screen experience” (pictured below) called “2016 OLYMPIC’s.” And he wants them to “design the MTV awards.”

Amber Rose Spills Kim Kardashian And Kanye Deets, Calls Kim A Homewrecker

Sometimes it’s nice to have a rumor confirmed…even if it happens over a year and a half after we peeped it for the first time. If your Twitter-shortened attention spans can recall as far back as April 2010, you may remember some gossip about a Kim Kardashian and Kanye West romance. The only problem? Kanye was reportedly canoodling with Amber Rose at the time, while Kim was on-again, off-again with the Miami Dolphins’ Reggie Bush. “They were both cheating,” Amber allegedly claims in an interview with Star, according to RadarOnline. “They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other.” Man…if only the beautiful debacle that was Kim Kardashian’s marriage hadn’t happened in the meantime. We’d be so much more scandalized by this!

According to Rose, Kim helped dismantle Amber’s relationship with Kanye through a series of explicit texts and emails. Gripes Amber, “She’s a homewrecker!” As Rose explains now, “She was sending pictures, and I was like, ‘Kim, just stop. Don’t be that person.’ I thought at least she’d be woman enough to respond to me. She never responded.” So then of course allegedly Amber and Reggie Bush got together on the rebound. Wow, revenge really is a dish best served cold…and 18 months after you first make it. It’s sort of like moonshine in that way. Or kimchi!

28 Hottest, Grossest And Completely TMI Celeb TwitPics Of 2011

What did we do before celebrities found out about Twitter? Whether it’s hot bodies in bikinis, hot bodies out of bikinis, scabs, famous people without makeup or ill-advised tattoos, 2011 was a great year for celebrity TMI tweets. Everyone from Gaga and Kanye to Katy Perry and Mariah Carey wanted to share the inside of their hearts (and pants and bathroom stalls) with the world. Not that we want them to stop, mind you! Not like we would ever want them to stop. In the meantime, check out the 28 Best TwitPics of 2011: Because you can’t untweet something once it’s been tweeted, no matter how hard you try.

Kanye Fantasizes About All The “World Leaders” At His Fantasy Funeral

Kanye West: He’s just saying what we’re all thinking … unfortunately. Sure, everyone has grandiose daydreams about how much the planet will miss them when they go, but most of us have the common sense not to say them out loud. Kanye, on the other hand, has yet another beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy he’d like to share, this time involving all the political heavyweights that will bawl their eyes out when he passes. “I was just thinking about my funeral and stuff a couple days ago and thinking who would be at the funeral,” the rapper said in an interview given for fan site VOYR. Kanye, stop there! Stop while you’re ahead/not coming off like a complete narcissist!

But West continued, “People who I want to be in the funeral. I wanna have world leaders that were, like, affected, that said, you know, ‘Kanye gave me my shot here.’ Or, ‘He pushed me,’ or, ‘He told me to believe in myself,’ or, ‘When I saw this, it made me feel like that.’ I wanna affect people like that when I, like, pass away.” So, which world leaders need Kanye to give them a shot? Do we have a total misunderstanding of global politics? Are we to believe that if Kanye West just went into Israel and Palestine and grabbed the mics out of everybody’s hand, we could have peace in the Middle East? Kanye is the greatest statesman of all time! Of all time!

Grammy Nominations Concert Winners: Nicki Minaj’s Shoes, Melle Mel’s Arms, Zombies

While Kanye West, Adele, the Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars are surely celebrating the many nods they received at last night’s Grammy nominations special, the winners of the evening were definitely zombies, who got a big nod from Lady Gaga during her performance. Other groups who will benefit from the evening: podiatrists (because we want Nicki Minaj’s and Taraji P. Henson’s shoes now) and gyms (because between Melle Mel’s arms and Grace Potter‘s legs, we are all feeling a little inadequate this morning). Losers: the color pink, because Katy Perry’s abuse of this monochromatic thing is making us weary of it; jeans — well, just Jason Aldean’s sad, holey, unhemmed pair; and the cows who gave their lives to Reid Perry’s pants. For a full account of the Grammy nominations, head over to VH1 Tuner.

Kanye West Gets His Rhymes From Nietzsche, Thank You Very Much

You’d probably be surprised to hear that an international music superstar gets his lyrical inspiration from a 19th-century existentialist philosopher. At least until we told you it was Kanye West. Then you’d say, “Oh,” put your headphones back on and listen to Watch The Throne for the 4,814th time. That, however, is exactly what Yeezy is claiming in his response to a copyright lawsuit filed by musician Vincent Peters over his song “Stronger.” Filed in 2010, dismissed and currently up for appeal, Peters’ case claims that Kanye must have jacked his song, seeing as how the two tunes share the same title, some lyrical similarities, and most damning of all, a reference to supermodel Kate Moss. Case closed, your honor! Make some room in Solitary!

Both men admit that their lyrics are inspired on some level by the Friedrich Nietzsche maxim, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger,” a saying which everyone on the planet has heard at some point in their lives. Kanye’s lawyers are making the case that rhymes based on a popular saying your grandmother told you when you fell off your bike shouldn’t be subject to copyright laws. Hopefully, things will pan out for Yeezy; we wouldn’t want anything to happen to his sizzling new track, “A Snitch In Time Saves 9.”

Jay-Z To Sell Occupy Wall Street-Inspired Shirts, Keep The Wealth

Jay-Z isn’t the first rapper to make a connection with the Occupy Wall Street movement; Kanye has stopped by the New York City protest, and Russell Simmons has done everything but set up a cot and unroll his sleeping bag in Zuccotti Park. When it comes to protest fashion, however, Hov got the jump on the rest; as of today his Rocawear line will be featuring a line of shirts sporting the slogan “Occupy All Streets.” Objectively, that seems like a pretty great addition to any wardrobe; if only some of the proceeds were actually going to the movement that makes that phrase something the kids would want to buy.

According to Rocawear’s spokesperson, Jay-Z‘s brand has not “made an official commitment” to supporting the movement with the shirts. Now, of course Hov has the right to do whatever he wants with his gear within reason. That being said, Hov has already made it in the 1%. Maybe it’s time to spread some love to the other 99? Think of how good all those drum circles would sound with some new skins! Well…or at least better.
