Look at the new look Kanye’s chick Amber Rose is sporting these days:

She was spotted at Villa in L.A. last night looking less like a blondie and more like Easter Sunday. So..

DO WE LOVE IT?!

strong>LeToya Luckett did an interview the other day where she told the radio host that she and Beyonce kinda kissed and made up after the whole BET performance drama. LeToya said that she caught up with B backstage and B went out of her way to go around her security guards to come speak to her. She said “Hey girl, everything’s cool it’s all good.” LeToya said they hadn’t seen each other in years before that. Looks like everything’s said and done now. Moving on…

Look who still has the busiest dinner and lunch schedule on record:

It’s Rihanna of course.  She was spotted hitting up Philippe Chow last night for dinner–after just eating their for lunch the day before–with friends.  Cute black and white look.  I’m torn on the Chanel shades.

And Nia Long threw out the first pitch at the LA Dodgers game this week.  More pics of her and her cutie son Massai when you read the rest…

Funeral plans for Michael Jackson have finally been set.  The memorial service for Michael will take place at the Staples Center on Tuesday at 10:00 AM.  11,000 tickets will be distributed free of charge to the general public.  Some reports also say that a carnival-like procession will happen after the services as Michael body is transported elsewhere for the family’s private funeral services.

In other news, Mike’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe has stated through her awyer that she will indeed petition for custody of her and Michael’s children. She dd an interview with L.A.’s local NBC network yesterday and said she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA, to prove she was the biological mother of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11. Rowe also said she was concerned about splitting up the three children, and would be willing to accept custody of Prince Michael II, Jackson’s youngest child. Michael’s mother, Katherine, has been granted custody as Michael expressly willed his kids to her.

Word has it those little inky pet projects Rihanna had going on last night may cause her to be wanted by the cops. NYPD is investigating the situation and may end up fining her as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third. She tatted up 3 people last night with umbrellas and R’s. Too bad it was illegal because she’s not licensed to do so. According to the NY Law Department:

“Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code. We are sending someone down to follow up on this.”

Womp womp.

And word hit the net that Officer Ricky Ross may have been arrested today by one of his former co-workers cops in Ft. Lauderdale. But after sources checked with the police department, nobody by his government name William Leonard Roberts II had been taken in. Story’s still developing, but it looks like it was all just a rumor. Somewhere 50 Cent is annoyed…

Complex magazine talked to Drake about the BET fiasco. Drake explains what happened with the pre-teens being up on stage with them during “Every Girl”, why he chose to perform with a hurt ACL, and his alleged $4 mill deal with Wayne’s Young Money:

Complex: There were rumors of a $4 million bonus…
Drake: [Laughs] Where is it? Tell me where it is, I’ll go pick it up right now. I got some money. I got a little money. I’ll be alright for a couple months.
Complex: Damn, that’s horrible. At the BET Awards this past Sunday, everyone was shocked to see you sitting on a stool. Did you ever think to yourself, Maybe I shouldn’t perform?

Drake: That, actually—to be honest—was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. [Laughs] But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don’t think it called for us to perform “Every Girl” and “Always Strapped,” and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage…

Complex: Yeah, it really was an awkward moment.

Drake: Yeah, it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody.

Complex: Watching it at home, the BET Awards seemed to be a mess. Did it seem that way in person?

Drake: Well, I can only speak for my portion of it. I had asked for something very specific for my performance and none of those were met, as far as production value, so…

Complex: That’s BET for you…

Drake: I understood my situation, as far as sitting in one place, and figured there was a way to make it interesting. But when I looked around and noticed that none of that was going on [laughs], I kind of just realized that it was going to be a loss for me. But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

So there you have it folks…

In an interview broadcast this morning on NBC’s ‘Today’ show, Jermaine Jackson said he wishes he had died instead of his younger brother. He said that Michael was ‘a gift from Allah.’ He also said he would like to see Neverland Ranch as his brother Michael’s final resting place:

No final plans for a funeral have been announced still. Just unconfirmed speculations.
