Nicki Minaj and ‘Boyfriend’ At LAX (Men Can Be Beards Too)
When paparazzi spotted rapper Nicki Minaj arriving at LAX, they had no clue who she was. But they guessed correctly that she was somebody due to all her expensive Louis Vuitton luggage. So they did what any self-respecting paparazzi would do: they asked her who she was.
Here’s the caption under the photos on SplashNews.com:

Yeah, right! Who is she fooling?
Celebrity Cars: T.I.’s New $400K Maybach
T.I.s 57s Maybach from atlnightspots.com on Vimeo.
As some of you know, rapper T.I. completed his court ordered house arrest and is now a free man — sort of. He still has to report to a probation officer and adhere to a strict 10 p.m. curfew every night unless he’s working.
A couple of days ago, T.I. shot a music video with Atlanta rapper B.o.B. And according to atlnightspots.com, this is the luxury car T.I. drove up in. It’s a $400,000 2010 Maybach 57s.
The ‘s’ stands for “special” not “sport” and this ultra-luxury machine includes every whim your heart desires if you have the duckets to spare. The power comes from a 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 engine with its 604 horses tuned to perfection by Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division.
The interior is appointed with wood grain covered with multiple applications of piano lacquer and soft, imported leather to provide that exquisite blend of performance and luxury that the super rich expect. T.I. loves his cars, and this is the second high end addition to his collection in the past couple of weeks. It must be nice!
Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 2011: Fit For a King *UPDATED*
Updated to add more pics (thanks BlackBarbie404)
I just received word that this sweet new Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 2011 was purchased by a local rapper, whose name I can’t reveal for legal reasons. This picture was taken of the car as it arrived today at the Mercedes Buckhead dealership in Atlanta (I have spies everywhere). It was built entirely by the AMG division of Mercedes Benz.
Notice how everyone is standing around the car as if in awe of it? That’s because no one in Atlanta (and maybe the country) has seen one of these cars in person.
You can see the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG at the Atlanta Auto Show at the Georgia World Congress Center this weekend before it’s delivered to it’s owner. Only 1,000 of these cars will be available for sale in the U.S.
The spoiler is integrated into the trunk and pops up at certain speeds
Here are the specs:
- Price – $250,000
- Engine – AMG 6.3 Liter V8 engine
- Top speed – 197 mph
- 0 to 60 – 3.7 seconds
I’m told the rapper decided he had to have this car after watching the incredible video below. Yes, the video is real.
Pity The Fools
Being fabulously wealthy is not all it’s cracked up to be. Just ask the former instant millionaires who wished they’d never bought that Lottery ticket after burning through millions and ending up broke.
Celebrities who are also narcissists covet money above all else, so their opinions don’t count. Narcissists flaunt wealth and material things because they don’t have a firm sense of self. So they consider cash and material objects to be an extension of themselves (such as an arm or leg). They can’t live without it and will do anything to get it.
It is very necessary for them to constantly remind themselves (and us) that they ARE the things they covet the most. So they need money and material things to validate them and remind them that they are alive. It’s the reason why they flaunt money and drape themselves in jewelry and name brand gear, while billionaires like Ted Turner drive Toyota’s to work.
That would explain why Beyonce wore a $5 million ring on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday, and then later claimed she forgot she was wearing the rock. Yea, right.
Or why TV’s biggest narcissist, Simon Cowell, tooled around LA yesterday with a gorgeous brunette (his fiancee) in the passenger seat of his $1.4 million Bugatti (that’s one million, four hundred thousand dollars for a car).
And last night, rap’s biggest egomaniac Sean “Puffy” Combs flashed a thick wad of $100 bills at a concert to honor the 13th anniversary of the death of Notorious B.I.G. at the famous Brooklyn ‘Lab Sports Bar’. An industry insider told us, “Puff acts like new money… like he isn’t used to having money, cars or pu$$y.”

Tiny To Keisha: ‘Baby, You Can Drive My Car’
Good friends are hard to come by. And they don’t come any better than Keisha, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle’s best friend. In fact, the two women once formed a singing group that is now defunct. Tiny made sure Keisha had a part in her reality series Tiny and Toya, and The OMG Girls are Tiny and Keisha’s group. The two women are so close that Tiny trusts Keisha with her children (Keisha often baby sits King and Major), the keys to her mansion and the keys to her cars.
Between them, Tiny and T.I. own or lease at least 6 luxury vehicles (maybe more). And while some car owners might balk at letting just anyone drive their high priced vehicles, Tiny doesn’t think twice about tossing Keisha the keys to her new Porsche, Range Rover, Bentley or Mercedes Benz.
But that doesn’t sit well with a family member who recently groused to friends that there were “no cars left at the house” for her to drive because Keisha took off in the last whip, so the family member was basically stranded at the mansion without a ride. Even if there was a car in one of the six garages, this particular family member is not allowed to drive any of them even though she’s over 18. We’re not sure why.
Celebs Out & About
Pop star Rihanna was spotted arriving at LAX airport from London’s Heathrow today.
Singer Mel B showed off her newly shaved head at the BMI afterparty for the Brits Awards 2010 in London early this morning.
Sexy chocolate Sean Garrett attended the G-Star Raw Presents NY Raw Fall/Winter 2010 Collection at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last night. I spoke with him while he was there and he said to tell you ladies he hasn’t forgotten you. He will do a live chat as soon as he’s grounded and he will invite a few of you to his studio!
MORE pics after the break!
Celebs Out & About: Gabby Sidibe
Doesn’t actress Gabby Sidibe remind you of an attractive version of Angel Laws from Concrete Poop? Isn’t it great that 2009 ushered in a new era placing the emphasis on talent and not false imagery?
Gabby visited the Duracell Power Lab in Times Square today in New York City. Doesn’t she look very comfortable in her skin? The other night as I sat in my car to get out of the bitter cold while waiting for the Jingle Jam promoter to produce another ticket for my friend (he ultimately told me to kick rocks), I watched a parade of big guls wearing the tightest, curve fitting, revealing outfits I’ve ever seen. I LOVED IT! I LOVE big guls with supreme confidence. They make everyone around them smile. Of course, my readers will always find something negative to say about this beautiful woman regardless.
