A-List wannabes turned up for the 10th Annual Maxim Hot 100 party at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar last night:

And while I was pretty damn happy to see Gabrielle Union rocking something other than one of her played out little black dresses, I couldn't get too excited since she went with the equally played out Herve Leger dress.  How played out you ask?

So played out that another chick--model Jamie Gunns--rocked the exact same dress at the exact same event last night.  Womp Womp Gabby.

La La got her fight club pose on.

And Ciara hit the scene too even though she doesn't necessarily fit int ot he "wanna be A-list" crowd.  Or does she? More pics and celebs when you read the rest...

Well looky here:

Chrisette Michele celebrated her #1 album in the country with an album release party at M2 Ultra Lounge last night.  Her Day 26 friends and Dawn were all there of course.

And she also received an award at the SESAC NY Music Awards event last night.  Nice. Later, she performed on "Letterman."  Check it:

Tyra Banks' show tomorrow will focus "good hair".  According to Tyra's people, Good Hair" is an expression that some African Americans use to describe hair that is not kinky, coarse or short. "Good Hair" is so ingrained in the African American culture that comedian Chris Rock just made a documentary bearing that name. Tyra, who examines what is "good hair" and how it impacts African American women socially, their activities, self-esteem, financially and more, also speaks with a mother who currently relaxes her three-year-old daughter's hair. Too many jokes I could make. So I'll just link you to the preview video. Mario is growing his har back--thank goodness:

Mario is taking to the streets with PUMA and the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally. The 3,000 mile motorsport event took place from LA to Vegas, Santa Fe to Dallas and from New Orleans to Miami, all in eight days. Mario got to drive a custom Puma Masarati. More with Ciara and D.Woods when you rad the rest...

YBF folks kicked it courtside at the Atlanta Hawks playoff game this weekend.  Jeezy, T.I., and Nelly were all there to kick it.

And Jeezy's ex Keyshia Cole was there to sing as well.  Chick used to be distraught over some damn Jeezy so I wonder how this all went over...

Celebs like John Legend and his girl Christine hit up O'Neal McKnight's Mixtape Release party at NY's 1Oak.

And Maxine, Dawn, Terry, and Cindy came together as En Vogue to perform at B.B. Kings in New York over the weekend.  The ladies are still looking fab. More pics of these folks and others when you read the rest...

Something must be in the water. It looks like we have more pornorificness on our hands--and this time it's from Flavor Flav's ex-boo Hoopz from "Flavor of Love". Apparently this is a sex tape featuring her and it's leaking as we speak. For all you freaky folks, the preview video "allegedly" featuring Hoopz is here. UPDATE: Here's the "press release" I just got from the broker selling Hoopz' sex tape:

For Exclusive Release Hardcore Video of Hoopz Exists The rumors are true. A hardcore sex video starring America's hottest reality TV star, Hoopz, does exist. Infamous celebrity sex tape broker Mr. ZZee, the mystery man behind other best selling celebrity sex tapes, is announcing he has acquired a hardcore sex video starring reality TV star Nikki Alexander aka Hoopz. Hoopz, star and winning contestant of VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love Money hit shows, is shown having sex with her boyfriend, and all of the hardcore footage is on tape. The high quality video features multiple positions, multiple camera angles, including hand-held and POV footage and even shows Hoopz doing a wild sideways cowgirl position that has to be seen to be believed! Screen shots and a video clip are attached. The full video will be available for online pay-per-view and on DVD shortly.

Oh goodness...

Sean "Diddy" Combs came through with his booty buddy Cassie, flanked by four bodyguards and an entourage, to Vegas' JET nightclub last night. Diddy ordered two bottles of Ciroc vodka and four bottles of Ace of Spades champagne for the party as his bodyguards were on full-time duty deterring fans from snapping photos of the group. But we got one of Diddy anyway. We hear when DJ Que pumped Cassie's new single "Must Be Love," featuring Diddy, Cassie got uber-excited and wasn't shy about being lovey-dovey with her...Diddy. Shocker. More when you read the rest...
