CANDIDS: KANYE WEST & KIM KARDASHIAN GO SHOPPING (AGAIN) & KANYE FORGETS HIS MANNERS + VIDEO

Reality star Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Kanye West were spotted doing their favorite past time — shopping! The duo stopped by all the high end shops in Paris, France on Tuesday morning (April 30) including: Givenchy, Ferragamo, Hermes, Celine and Lanvin. However, it was Kanye’s treatment of his pregnant boo that was getting all the attention.

If you view the video above, Kanye jumps out of the their black Porsche and walks over to the passenger side. You would think he would help Kim (who happens to be 6 months along) – but he doesn’t. He also didn’t even open the door for her when they were going into the Givenchy store. Smh! I guess chivalry is dead. In addition, why is Kanye never happy when they are together? Too many questions and not enough answers. Check out more photos below.

Jamie Foxx was photo-oped on the set of the upcoming film, Amazing Spiderman 2 on Sunday April 21st. The filming took place on West 57th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. The Django star, who plays the villainous Electro, is disguised in a working man’s getup, carrying an ordinary briefcase, equipped with nerdy glasses to compliment a nearly-balding head.

Foxx, who received unnecessary racist Twitter slander for rocking a Trayvon Martin tee to the MTV Movie Awards, was honored with the MTV Generation Award as well as the Best WTF Moment Award, which he shares with Django co-star Samuel L. Jackson.

Singer-actor Tyrese Gibson (pictured smiling above at CinemaCon 2013 earlier this week), must have been feeling the heat because he is now back tracking on his “fat & nasty” comments about overweight people.

Just last week his blunt comments went viral and he received a lot of negative press and backlash from his social media followers.

In an attempt to mend some fences and elaborate on what he said, the 34 year-old took to his twitter page to explain himself. Check it out below:

I’m not apologizing for what I said, I’m apologizing for the bad choice of wording and execution of my point around obesity. Y’all seen my documentary, I was brought in this world from a plus size mother and my sisters are plus size as well… I am concerned always!

CL EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: KATT WILLIAMS TALKS ‘SCARY MOVIE 5′, BAD PRESS & WHAT’S NEXT FOR HIM


[CONCRETE LOOP EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH KATT WILLIAMS - LISTEN ABOVE]

Comedian and actor Katt Williams has been in the entertainment game for awhile now, but most recently his name has been plastered across press outlets for his reportedly bizarre behavior and various run-ins with the law.

Concrete Loop’s Angel Laws had a chance to chat with the 39 year-old about his new role in ‘Scary Movie 5,’ as well as all the negative press he has been receiving as of late. Katt also opens up about what motivates him, the music he loves and what’s next for his career. Take a listen to the interview above or read it below.

—–

CL: You haven’t been in a mainstream movie in a few years. So, how was it working on the set of “Scary Movie 5”?
Katt Williams: It was kind of surreal. Generally, in a comedy, you feel like you’re carrying the movie or least that’s how I would feel. This was one of those situations where it was the direct opposite; It’s already an amazingly successful franchise. And I had already seen the other ones, so I knew what they were about. So, once I saw the list of people, it was just about me being able to bring my “A” game.

CL: How do you feel about the state of the comedy world, especially the black comedy world?
Katt Williams: I feel just like you feel. [*LAUGHS*]

‘ROUND THE WAY: RICK ROSS DROPPED BY REEBOK DUE TO “DATE RAPE” LYRIC + REEBOK RELEASES STATEMENT

Just weeks after releasing a brand new commercial with rapper Rick Ross, Reebok has dropped him for his disparaging lyrics that seemingly condoned date rape.

The international sneaker brand also released a statement:

Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.

Welp, I know the ‘Fat Man’ is mad about this one. This goes to show that we the consumer have the actual control. Celebrities should never get too comfortable.
