SCENETRACKER Diddy & Wiz
Rick Ross' Star-Studded Birthday Bash

Rick Ross, dressed in his signature head to toe white threads, celebrated his 36th birthday at Club Amnesia in Miami over the weekend. The legendary rapper drew a swarm of fans along with some of the biggest names in hip hop including Dr. Dre, Diddy, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, and the LOX, amongst others. He was also joined by singer/producer Sean Garrett and former business manager and head of Poe Boy, E-Class. Guests enjoyed flowing bottles of Moet champage and, naturally, Ciroc Vodka (Diddy's brand), while listening to sets by DJ Camilo.

Speaking of, Diddy rolled up as expected with an entourage that included Cassie, his son Justin, and French Montana --the latest new artist to join Bad Boy Records. The highlight of the night was when Ross took to the stage for a live performance of his 'Holy Ghost' track which also features Diddy.

ALMOST FAMOUS Nicki and Safaree at dinner as *cough* 'friends'(June 22)
Amber Rose and Nicki Minaj Feud

Nicki Minaj and former best friend, Amber Rose, have had it with with each other ever since a night in Vegas and illicit photos. In claims by a 'super reliable' Young Money source (and long-time boyfriend), Safaree, lthe rapper was involved in a deceptive Minaj-e-twa with the girls.

Allegedly, Safaree was caught in Rose's bedroom after Nicki threw a birthday bash in Vegas on December 9th; the G.I. Jane was said to have seduced Minaj's boyfriend through naked BBM photos of herself in compromising positions. After Minaj confronted her fiance boyfriend best friend then boyfriend, his only defense was the most typical, 'Baby, she was throwing herself at me, I didn't do nuthin.' Minaj and Rose have ceased friendship ever since the incident. Amber took to Twitter last night saying, @darealAmberRose "... I DID NOT send pics to anyone's boyfriend."

CD Review: Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

There are so many conflicting public and private personas that culminate in the egotistical, frustrating and yet undeniably creative and brilliant man that is Kanye West. After all, West consistently invites criticism and speculation with each successive exasperating public stunt and diatribe. He may be an exhausting media fixture, but West has never shied away from confronting his own demons. It's this unnerving introspection that makes Kanye West's music electric, enjoyable and undeniably important.

With My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the superstar has returned with an album that speaks not only to tabloid sensation Kanye, he of the Taylor Swift debacle, the Amber Rose over-sharing, the Twitter rants and media posteuring, but also to the private emotional depths of a man at a crossroads in his life. The album blends the dark, haunted self-analysis of 808s and Heartbreak with the slick, hip-hop-faithful production techniques of The College Dropout and inspired samples of Late Registration; it's the climax of everything West has been working up to until this point.

Kanye's Girlfriend A Buzz...Thrill?

Kanye West's stylish squeeze, Amber Rose, was spotted at the Hall of Fame Barbershop at Miami's luxurious Clinton Hotel getting her infamous buzz cut while prodding at her tag-along sister to don the same image. A little peer pressure never hurt anyone, right? For the arm candy of one of music's hottest icons, this hairstyle, or lack thereof, seems to catch more attention than the superstar himself.

PETA Continues Fur Control With Kanye West.

Secretly admitting that the Fall 2006 Louis Vuitton pouch that Amber Rose wore during the Paris menswear shows with boyfriend Kanye West is highly desirable, everyone has been waiting patiently for PETA to fire off their attack against the couple and their fur obsession.

But how far is too far, when it comes to PETA?

PETA released the following statement on their official blog regarding the two:

Pharrell To Lanvin?

If we had to choose another celebrity, let alone a rapper, to head to another high-end fashion house then of course it would be Pharrell. He doesn't just don Christian Louboutin for anything.

However the rapper, who has an urban label success under his belt, attended the Lanvin Menswear show in Paris over the weekend - where he asked the designer, Alber Elbaz to either design luggage for the label or pose for one of its campaigns.

Kamber to Paris Fashion Week.

Evidently, Kanye West is on everyone's bad list when it comes to his music and tantrums.

But, we're certain Kanye and girlfriend/Ford model, Amber Rose, will soon be receiving a complaint from PETA's founder, Ingrid Newkirk, real soon - after making a fur-stopping appearance during the Paris menswear shows.

Although the photo at right isn't fur quality, it does demonstrate how eager for attention the duo are whilst in Paris.

After Ingrid's recent attack against singer Kelis, and Kelis' immature (yet very valid) response - I'd like to bid all the Louboutins in the world to see a dialogue between Ingrid and Kanye West.

Although Kanye claims to be a changed man, one loose stud on his Louboutin loafers may just set him off.

I am proud of where I live, and having lived there for a grand total of six weeks, I feel it is my privilege, nay, my responsibility, to report some comings and goings that are occurring. This is not a gossip piece, so much as a ‘heads up.’ In the heart of the East Village, where trendy just gets trendier, there is more to be excited about.

I never realized when I first moved in to my new apartment, just what kind of neighborhood I was getting myself involved with, and now that I’ve been living there a grand total of six weeks, I feel a veritable local, and am assuming the responsibility of showing off that I live in a cooler part of the city than you. That, and I want to draw attention to some new developments happening on 7th Street.
