Kim And Kanye Finally Pick A Date

Ah, springtime in Paris. After getting engaged in a major league ballpark, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are ditching baseball and hot dog for the Eiffel Tower and pain au chocolat. According to Us Weekly, the pair have set a May 24 wedding date in Paris for what sounds like a much more low-key affair than Kim's last trip down the televised aisle.

Few details were available at press time, but Kardashian, 33 recently told boss Ryan Seacrest that things will be different this time. "We're having a super, super small, intimate wedding," she said. "As we go along, we're realizing we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking."

Though spokespeople for the couple could not be reached for confirmation on the date at press time, People magazine also reported the May date, quoting an unnamed source saying it "won't be a huge wedding ... around 150 people."

As you might recall, West, 36, proposed to Kim on her 33rd birthday in October at San Francisco's AT&T Park
 in a low-key event that was filmed for her family's reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." It's unclear if they will be filming the May wedding for a special similar to the one Kardashian made for her short-lived marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.

The couple consider Paris their second home and back in January Kim told Jimmy Kimmel that they were definitely eyeing a summer date in the City of Lights
. Their daughter, North, will turn one less than a ...

#TBT: Drake Invites Us To His Velvet Bed In 2010

All this time, it was assumed that ladies loved Drake for his double-threat talent as a rapper/singer or his intensely passionate onstage performances with Jhené Aiko and Rihanna, but could it be that they really adore the Canadian superstar for his... velvet?

Back in 2010, MTV learned that Drizzy was indeed "Fancy" during the promotional run for his debut LP, Thank Me Later, when the "Started From The Bottom" MC showed off his rather grand and luxurious bed with its plush burgundy velvet bedding, which, according to him, was made from a very large flightless bird.

"Burgundy velvet on the bed you understand, 100 Moolah!" Drake said in a vintage interview with Sway Calloway. "Burgundy velvet...that's made out of a...that's burgundy! That's a velvet ostrich right there, only exist in Cambodia. Velvet ostriches, they burgundy in color. I made some bedsheets out of them right there, 100 Moolah!"

Moolah, of course, was a nod to his beloved record label Young Money and its CEO, Lil Wayne. The explanation for his bed, however, was just another case of Drake being Drake. Even then, when an unseen man threatened to interrupt the rapper's on-camera interview, it was evident how funny the man who calls himself the "light-skinned Keith Sweat" could be.

"This man just tried to walk across in the middle of a MTV interview," Drake said, giving the man off camera a faux disgusted look. "Man, you should be ashamed of yourself baldhead guy, you should be ashamed of yourself."

Now riding high on the success of his third studio album, Nothing Was ...

‘Annie’ Remake Gets Its First Trailer With Quvenzhané Wallis: Watch Now

When we first heard that Jay Z and Will Smith were teaming up for a modern-day "Annie" remake starring Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Quvenzhané Wallis at the titular happy-go-lucky orphan, it was hard to imagine what exactly they had in mind.

But now, thanks to the first trailer for the Will Gluck-directed remake, we have a better picture.

Judging from the clip, Diaz makes for a convincingly nasty and rather disheveled Ms. Hannigan, the infamous foster mom who sprays her orphans with a spray bottle and, apparently, is still bitter she's not George Clooney's wife.

Foxx, meanwhile, stars as Will Stacks, the billionaire New York mayoral candidate who, after bumping into Annie on the streets of Harlem, takes her in because, in his words, "the more we're seen together, the better it is for my campaign."

From the official synopsis, "Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around."

"Annie," which also stars "Bridesmaids" actress Rose Byrne, hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Rick Ross On His Past As A Corrections Officer: ‘I’d Do It Again’

Fans who gripe about wanting more details about Rick Ross' personal life found what they were looking for during Wednesday's (March 5) episode of "RapFix Live." The MMG CEO broke down some essential lyrics from his new album, Mastermind, opening up about family and even admitting that he'd work as a corrections officer again if he had to.

The album's first full track, "Rich is Gangsta," finds Rozay rapping about his reasons for becoming a prison guard, a revelation that first made headlines back in 2008. "Feds tore apart the squad n---a, that's why I had to play the part n---a/That wasn't me, it was a job n--a," he spits, clearly referencing the scandal. "It gets deeper, that was just a start, n---a."

"That particular line most definitely referred to me being a C.O.," Ross told host Sway Calloway. "And that being a job and just understanding the grind and the hustle and anything else I may have done. It's just a job, it's a hustle."

Though Ross initially denied the news, in 2009 he admitted that he was formerly employed as a corrections officer, and today he doesn't regret how any of it went down.

"I wouldn't change nothing, cause to me it's about who Rozay is," he explained. "It's about me. Anywhere I go, when I step in the room, I put it down. People know it's authentic right here, they know it's real, so it was nothing that I was personally threatened with, I was just ready to move on. Let's go get this money, let's make ...

Nicki Minaj Strips Down And Sheds The Makeup In Instagram Shoot

Barbz may not be used to seeing Nicki Minaj sans her eccentric, monochromatic wigs and makeup, but the Young Money empress is consistently giving her millions of followers on social media a front row seat to "Natural Nicki."

Wednesday afternoon (March 5), the took to Instagram to post a montage of revealing photographs of her stripped down to her birthday suit, in various steps of her post-shower process.

In the first photo, Nicki's is shown with her wet hair cascading down her back, while the next one shows her looking straight at the camera, baring a little top cleavage and, from the look on her face, part of her soul. For the third picture, she flashes a playful, dimpled smile before offering up three additional sexy poses from the side, with one in particular where she holds her breasts in her hands.

For the final picture in the revealing series, Nicki is wearing a purple paisley garment, pulling her hair into a ponytail as she looks out towards two white paneled French doors.

The unexpected look at an unprimped and toned down Nicki is likely part of her rebranding as she looks to get back to her lyrical roots. Her upcoming LP, The Pink Print, is expected to be a nod to her days as a raw and uncut mixtape rapper prone to "talk crazy" in her verses and make a name for herself in the male-dominated genre.
