The Daily Buzz For Nov 20



The Celebs come out to The Hunger Games Premiere
The long wait is almost over as the cast of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" attended the L.A. Premiere at the Nokia Theatre on Monday (November 18) ahead of this Friday's nationwide release.
Looking gorgeous on the red carpet was Jennifer Lawrence, who got all dolled-up for the event as she posed with her handsome costars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson.

Also on hand to catch all the action were Ashlee Simpson with her man Evan Ross, Kylie Jenner, Sarah Hyland and Bella Thorne.
In the highly-anticipated sequel, Katniss and Peeta embark on a Victor's Tour after winning the 74th Hunger Games as a rebellion begins brewing in the Districts of Panem.
Joining the popular trio in the film this time around are Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, and Lenny Kravitz.
Lenny Kravitz walked the red carpet in his silver booties for Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. The highly anticipated sequel hits theaters on November 22nd.
He brought cutie Zoe Kravitz as his date and stylish father/daughter were clearly the stars of the night.
Lenny Kravitz wore Saint Laurent while Zoe looked amazing in a Spring 2014 dress from Balenciaga.
Despite being photographed on Drake's tour bus recently (which sparked dating rumors we're not too sold on yet), Zoe's ONLY date for the evening was her Dad.  Time will tell.....
Garcelle Beauvais, who recently wrapped shooting the motion picture Small Time, looked amazing as usual in a Michael Costello pleather bustier watercolor dress.
Wearing a pair of kimono-styled jackets, siblings Jaden and Willow Smith struck a few poses on the red carpet.
Jaden intentionally mixed up his footwear (this is a recurring thing with him).  Apparently it's...cool.
They struck a pose with Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Couture.  Something awkward about this here pic...but we LOVE J-Law's look.
Kimora Lee Simmons attended with her daughters Ming and Aoki.  They get taller every time we see them!
"Catching Fire" actor Jeffrey Wright posed with producer Jon Kilik and actor Sam Claflin on carpet.
Go see it this Friday!

Out & About: Rihanna Steps Out In New York City
Rihanna was spotted out and about in New York City on Monday, and was snapped as she headed into an office building, after leaving her hotel. The 25-year-old songstress rock’d a new ‘do (a bob and bangs) and an all black leather look.
And the prior evening, RiRi was spotted stepping out for a night on the town. She showed off her amazing figure in a black playsuit from her River Island collection, teamed with a pair of over the knee boots.
During her outing, she stopped by Manhattan restaurant La Cenita to dine out with her girls, and later hit the SL club.



Knicks Want Trade For Rondo
And the drama surrounding the Knicks and trade talks continues to happen. In the past week alone there have been reports of Iman Shumpert being traded to the Sacramento Kings, and a very near miss of a deal between the Knicks and Denver Nuggets in which Shump would of been sent to Denver for Kenneth Faried. That deal was killed by Denver otherwise Shumpert would be wearing Nuggets colors already. Now this interesting news regarding hated division rivals in the Celtics and Knicks and a possible trade? Hit the jump for more.
It was reported that very recently, also very quietly I might add, that the Knicks offered to send Shumpert, Amar’e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton to Boston in exchange for Rondo and possibly one more player. That deal was turned down by Boston, but they did express a willingness to take on Amar’e and his terrible contract if some other type of deal could be worked out. The fact that these two teams are even discussing trades is amazing considering the fact that most division rivals in the NBA who dislike each other the way these two organizations do usually never consider doing deals with each other. The deal Boston made with the Nets over the summer is different because the Nets have never really been a rival of Boston. Having a team willing to take on Stoudemire’s contract is great, but it is only short term help. If the Knicks take the wrong deal it could lock up some of the money they anticipate they will have free in 2015 to go after a big time free agent to help Carmelo.

The Celtics have been trying to push trading Gerald Wallace to the Knicks, but his contract expires a year after Stoudemire’s does, which will not be a good thing for New York. So somewhere in between there could be a deal worked out that makes everyone happy. Seeing Rondo in a Knicks uniform would be crazy, but it would definitely be an upgrade at the PG position. On the other hand that is now three different possible trade scenario’s that Iman Shumpert’s name has been involved in. You have to feel for the kid. They basically are throwing it in his face that the don’t want him and I just can’t understand the sudden urgency to trade him. I know it all comes down to money and what helps the team, but rookie Tim Hardaway Jr has not shown yet that he is ready for major playing time. He is weak on defense and a streaky offensive player, and JR Smith, well we all know you get the good with the bad when it comes to him. With Shumpert’s young talent and very workable contract, it makes him a target for trades, but that doesn’t mean they should force the issue. Amar’e doesn’t seem too happy with the Knicks based on his recent comments about the team is making him look bad, so maybe a trade for him would be best. I am a loyal fan of his however. He came to New York when nobody else did and threw the organization on his back and made us relevant again. Still business is business. Let’s see how this plays out.



Gucci Mane Files Lawsuit Against Waka Flocka Flame & Debra Antney
Gucci Mane is suing Waka Flocka Flame and the rapper's mother, Debra Antney. According to Big Guwop, momma and son have been unduly pilfering his money for years and ruined his reputation. Yes, this is really happening.
Reports TMZ:
In the docs, Gucci claims he hired Debra Antney – Waka's momma – to be his manager in 2006 … and says she and Waka have been robbing him blind ever since.
According to the suit, Antney and Waka released Gucci's music and collected royalties without his permission … and Antney made herself CFO of Gucci's corporation without his knowledge.
Gucci claims Antney regularly took more than the usual manager's fee of 20%.
As a result, Gucci says he's lost money, his reputation … and all he's got left are some serious tax issues.
The Ice Cream Man is suing for fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy … and wants the courts to freeze Waka and his mom's assets. Oh, and he wants a ring and chain returned that he claims Waka's mom stole from him.
This is where we point out the audacity of La Flare  saying someone else ruined his rep. This is the same guy, with an Ice Cream cone tattooed on his face, that has been arrested for, among many incidents, hitting a soldier upside the head with a champagne bottle. There was also the time  he went on an extended Twitter rant slandering a bunch of artists he used to work with and then apologized, blaming the tweets on a lean addiction.
Let's hope Gucci Mane is even



Raven Symone Goes OUT For OUTFEST Legacy Awards Reception
Raven Symone rarely makes an appearance these days.  But last night, it wasn't just about her making a public appearance.  It was also about where...
After her semi-coming out comments she posted to social media a few months ago, Raven Symone popped up at the Outfest Legacy Awards reception last night.
The party held at the Los Angeles home of Grammy award-winning composer Mervyn Warren.  It was all in honor of Lee Daniels being named one of OUT.com's OUT100 -- a list of the most respected movers & shakers in the GLBT community.
Raven looked sleek in all black, a cinched waist and her black Balenciaga bag as she posed it up with her artist friends.  And she flew solo without rumored girlfriend AzMarie:
Lee Daniels, who attended with his boyfriend Andy Sforzini, toasted with LOUIS XIII drinks.  And LOUIS XIII presented Outfest UCLA Legacy Project with a donation on behalf of the director himself.

Cheers!



Microsoft To Buy Nokia Phones Arm
Shareholders of the phonemaker Nokia have agreed to sell their mobile phone business to technology giant Microsoft for $7.2 bn.
The deal goes ahead despite objections from some investors who opposed the sale of a Finnish asset.
Regulators must clear the sale, but is expected to close early next year.
In September, Microsoft agreed to buy the mobile phone business and licence patents from Nokia.
Tuesday’s deal was approved by 99.5% of Nokia’s 3,900 investors at a meeting for shareholders in the Finnish capital of Helsinki.
Nokia has seen its share of the smartphone market shrink as competitors such as Apple and Samsung have risen in popularity.
When the sale was first announced, Nokia said it would also make changes to its leadership.
Stephen Elop, the former president chief executive of Nokia Corporation, was to step down and resign from the company’s board under the terms of the deal. He is due to move over to Microsoft when the sale is completed.
Mr Elop left Microsoft to join Nokia in 2010, and has been cited by some as one of the frontrunners to replace Microsoft’s outgoing chief executive Steve Ballmer.
Mr Ballmer is expected to leave the company in 2014.
