Kim Kardashian is a changed woman
This photo of disgraced reality TV personality Kim Kardashian was snapped earlier this week when Kim was on her way to Bible study with her new bestie, singer Leann Rimes. (I guess La La Anthony was busy).
Kim has dedicated herself to bagging the very religious Denver broncos quarterback Tim Tebow by pretending she’s spiritual, prayerful and virginal. On Sunday, she even tweeted that she was on her way to church — something she has never tweeted before.
Luckily, Tim is not as dumb as Kris Humphries – Kim’s hapless ex-husband of 72 days.

Rapper T.I. dressed the NY Giants in looks from his AKOO Winter 2011/2012 Collection. Here’s a photo from the shoot. Among the players pictured are: Antrel Rolle, Terrell Thomas, and Kenny Phillips. The NY Giants celebrated their Super Bowl 46 victory over the New England Patriots with a ticker tape parade down the Canyon of Heros in New York City yesterday. I’ll post more pics from the photo shoot when I get them.

Beyoncé Caught Lying Again?
Once again, Beyoncé was caught telling a bold faced lie after claiming she attended her husband Jay Z’s concert at Carnegie Hall on Monday night.
But was she really lying this time?
On Tuesday, the 40/40 club’s PR people sent out an email stating, “Despite various reports, Beyoncé did not attend Jay-Z’s concert.”
Indeed, the only photos we saw of Beyoncé were when she was leaving Jay Z’s 40/40 club after the concert.
Beyoncé herself added to the confusion when a NY Daily News reporter caught up to her outside the 40/40 club. The reporter specifically asked Bey if she attended the concert.
Shortly after the booty-licious mama arrived at her husband’s 40/40 Club for post-concert festivities Monday night, we asked her if she’d gone to the show.
“Yes,” she told us, calling her spouse’s concert “amazing.”
Apparently, Jay Z and his people were concerned that not enough mention was made of Beyoncé’s appearance at the 40/40 Club after the concert. The 40/40 Club needs all the publicity it can get. As you know, the bar came under scrutiny when the city’s health department shut them down for failing an inspection one day after the grand re-opening last month.
Celeb Style: Beyonce
Please note that the following is a positive post…
Jay Z’s wife and baby mother, Beyonce, stepped out for the 2nd night in a row wearing a dazzling black dress by designer Monique Lhuillier. Beyonce accessorized her dress with a Chanel purse, Gucci strappy heels, and blue sapphire jewels by Lorraine Schwartz. Some are saying it’s still too early for Beyonce to leave a newborn baby at home while she chases the spotlight, but Beyonce is an entertainer first and a mother second.

Holly and Rodney Peete to renew their wedding vows
Please note that the following is a positive post…
Actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, will renew their wedding vows after 17 years of marriage atop the Empire State Building on Monday, reports Page Six.
Celebrity event-and-wedding planner Colin Cowie, who designed the couple’s 1995 LA nuptials, will also coordinate the private affair.
When Holly hits the red carpets in Hollywood, she is often photographed with only 3 of her children; Ryan, 12, Robinson, 7, and Roman, 5.
Holly and Peete are also parents to an autistic child, RJ, 13, who was diagnosed when he was 3. RJ is Ryan’s fraternal twin.
The Robinsons said RJ’s diagnosis hit them both very hard.
Holly said: “We went through this emotional connection, and we just cried in each other’s arms. We didn’t know what the hell this autism thing was. We were both in denial for a few weeks.” Rodney added: “I stayed angry and blamed the doctor and was still in denial—while Holly basically rolled up her sleeves and did what needed to be done.”
