Celebs Out & About: Nicki Minaj, Ray J
Shopping an tearing up the mall can be tiring. Cartoon rapper Nicki Minaj, 29, was spotted doing some high end, pre-Grammy shopping in Beverly Hills, CA, yesterday. The Pink Friday rapper did some heavy retail therapy at Chanel and Giuseppe Zanotti shoe stores. She was seen wearing a pink wig carrying shopping bags to her matching pink Bentley. Nicki paused to make sure the paparazzi snapped pics of her handing out stacks of cash to a valet attendant and a homeless man as well.

Brandy’s brother Ray J was seen at The Grove in West Hollywood yesterday promoting his new semi-autobiographical book titled Death Of The Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray. Ray J, who didn’t actually pen the book himself, follows in the footsteps of comedian Steve Harvey, whose self-help manual on cheating men was a best-seller.

Terrence J and Selita Ebanks were among the well heeled black Hollywood glitterati on the red carpet at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘Think Like A Man‘ held at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, yesterday:
Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons showed off her mean shoe game at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio fashion Show Presented By Simon Doonan during Fall 2012 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City yesterday.

NeNe Leakes Dissed By Paparazzi
Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member NeNe Leakes probably thinks she’s a major superstar. Unfortunately, she isn’t as far as the paparazzi are concerned. It seems that pseudo-singer-turned reality star Aubrey O’Day is a bigger star than NeNe is — as evidenced by the fact that the paparazzi didn’t even know who NeNe was!
When the paparazzi uploaded last night’s photos to the wire service, the captions left out NeNe’s name entirely. I wouldn’t have known it was NeNe either if I hadn’t clicked on the image to see who the tranny was standing next to Aubrey.

Celebs Out & About: Ciara, Viola Davis, Louis Bardo Bullock
Singer Ciara was spotted leaving the salon in West Hollywood yesterday. Ciara spruced up her long, flowing weave by adding a few highlights and a conditioner for her own hair that’s growing under the weave.
Speaking of hair weave, Oscar nominee Viola Davis wore a short cropped wig for her appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday. Viola received kudos for wearing her own natural hair for the cover of the LA Times magazine earlier this month. It’s a shame that in 2012 black women are applauded for wearing their own hair. We have been fully assimilated. 
Twitter FAIL: Is this kiddie pr0n?
Remember the furor caused by ‘Basketball Wife‘ Royce Reed after she tweeted a pic of her man sleeping with her son? Well, Ice T’s wife, Co Co, has joined the ranks of the tasteless and the foolish by tweeting a pic of herself completely naked resting her oversized melons on top of her sleeping nephew.
Co Co’s nephew is her sister Kristy Williams’ son.
The 32-year-old sometime model deleted the picture after her furious Twitter.com followers complained about the vulgarity of the pic. Amid the horrific stories of sexual abuse of schoolchildren coming out of California, this is not the time for attention seeking celebs to display inappropriate photos involving children.
Coincidentally, the 2nd season of E! TV’s reality show Ice-T Loves Coco premieres on Sunday, Feb. 12, at 11PM ET. Click here to watch a sneak preview.
See the obscene pic after the break. CAUTION: Not Safe For Work!!
Celebs Out & About: Christina Milian, Rihanna
Fashionable singers Christina Milian, right, and Rihanna were spotted dining in separate locations in Los Angeles, yesterday. Rihanna is set to join her pugilistic ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, as they perform during the 2012 Grammy Awards. It’s been 3 years since Brown, now 22, beat Rihanna down in a vicious attack that left her permanently scarred emotionally. Fans can’t help but notice that Rihanna has not been the same since the savage attack.
