SEE KIM KARDASHIAN WIHTOUT THE PAINT!
If we all could NOT wake up to make up. Spending a little personal time together in Hollywood, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West went shopping 
The celebrity sweethearts were cool and casual, Kim dressed in all black, and Kanye, walking beside her, wore a green jacket and blue jeans, while carrying a book bag.
In related news, Kim has been keeping up with her fitness regime in order to get back to her figure before getting pregnant with her lovely babe, North West.

However, while hitting the gym the 33-year-old did not wear her 15-carat engagement ring that Kanye gave her. Maybe she gave it to North for safekeeping!


Oh Ciara what are you hiding there???
Ciara and fiance Future are taking an extended holiday vacation, relaxing in Bora Bora. The singer has yet to address rumors that she’s expecting and she continues to let us speculate. 


She’s continued to share more photos of her tropical get-away, but keeps managing to cover up her stomach. We’re keeping our eyes out on this one!


Ex-Vikings Punter Calls Coaches "Cowards & Bigots," Team Launches Investigation
A former punter for the Minnesota Vikings strongly believes his outspoken support for gay rights got him booted off the team in 2013 and he wants the whole world to know it.
Chris Kluwe wrote a column for Deadspin titled "I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot"
where he puts recently fired head coach Leslie Frazier, general manager Rick Spielman and special teams coach Mike Priefer on blast for their alleged homophobe comments.
In the article, Kluwe goes into great detail about his treatment as a player the more his activism was noticed. He was especially critical towards his former special teams coach who he referred to as the "bigot."
Near the end of November, several teammates and I were walking into a specialist meeting with Coach Priefer. We were laughing over one of the recent articles I had written supporting same-sex marriage rights, and one of my teammates made a joking remark about me leading the Pride parade. As we sat down in our chairs, Mike Priefer, in one of the meanest voices I can ever recall hearing, said: "We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows." The room grew intensely quiet, and none of the players said a word for the rest of the meeting. 
The atmosphere was decidedly tense. I had never had an interaction that hostile with any of my teammates on this issue—some didn't agree with me, but our conversations were always civil and respectful. Afterward, several told me that what Mike Priefer had said was "messed up."
Kluwe was later fired in the spring of 2013 even with him maintaining that his production remained consistent.
Now the Vikings organization has lawyered up and are looking into the matter much more seriously.
Reports: USA TODAY
Magnuson and Madel are partners in the firm Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. Their investigation is already underway, according to the Vikings' release.
"This is a highly sensitive matter that we as an organization will address with integrity," Vikings vice president of legal affairs and chief administrative officer Kevin Warren said in the statement.
All the coaches involved have vehemently denied the allegations and even cited having gay family members themselves. Things should get interesting as more alleged "truths" come to the light.



Paul Walker Autopsy Report Released
The Los Angeles coroner released Paul Walker’s autopsy report, which concluded that the actor died from the “combined effects of f traumatic and thermal injuries” following a fiery late-November auto crash.
Neither Walker, 40, nor the man behind the wheel, his business partner Roger Rodas, 38, had drugs or alcohol in his system, the reports said. 
Nearly all of Walker’s body was charred through the skin, and his hair color and eye color could not be determined from visual examination, the gruesome report stated.

Officials said the “Fast & Furious” star was found in a “pugilistic stance” with right wrist and left arm fractures — suggesting he had braced for impact.


Britney Spears Fans Disappointed With Split Second Meet and Greet
Britney Spears fans were left feeling cheated after shelling out big bucks for a  split-second meet and greet in Las Vegas.
Excited superfans have been shelling out a staggering $2,500 for a VIP Meet-And-Greet with Britney Spears in Las Vegas, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned many are left disappointed after their quick “3-second” photo-op with the Toxic singer.
Along with a front-row seat to Spears’ Piece of Me show in Sin City, ticket holders received a bevy of Britney merchandise, but it was actually meeting the singer and taking a photo with her that caused fans to pay the hefty ticket price.
“Fans were told before the meet-and-greet that they were not to hug or touch Britney without her permission and they weren’t allowed to bring her any gifts,” an insider told Radar.
“And then once they finally got to meet her it was like smile, take a photo, goodbye. Each person literally got like 3-seconds with her.”
According to the insider, fans were unhappy overall with the meet-and-greet — with some even criticizing the Louisiana-native’s poor choice in wigs.
“The wig was painfully obvious one night and it was just so sad,” a source said.
Spears’ wig even made waves on Twitter with one fan writing, “Britney meeting a fan in Vegas with a scary wig n sad eyes :’(((((“
“Fans were anticipating a flashy meet-and-greet with Britney but instead it was just awkward and uncomfortable,” the insider told Radar.
“She barely spoke. She just smiled and nodded and said ‘thank-you’ a lot.”

Johnny Depp Settles Alleged "Concert Brawl" Lawsuit
Deciding that paying a fee instead of going through the complicated mess of a lawsuit would be better for his health, Johnny Depp settled his Iggy Pop concert lawsuit from 2011.
Apparently, while in attendance at the concert, a woman sitting beside the now 50-year-old got to her feet, and began dancing a bit too close for the star's comfort, thus instigating a response from his bodyguards.
The woman, Robin Eckert, who claims to be a professor of medicine at U.C. Irvine, then said that Depp's guards threw her to the ground, forcing her pants to slip down.

She stated that the incident "exposed her buttocks to other Hollywood Palladium Theater patrons," and ended up suing for unknown damages.
As a result, the "Pirates" actor, as well as other defendants, decided to pay Eckert, in lieu of going through the headache of a massive lawsuit.



‘Tia & Tamera’ Cancel Reality Show
After three seasons of their reality TV show, the beloved twin sisters Tia Mowry-Hardict and Tamera Mowry-Housely announced that they are taking a break from the cameras to show a little more attention to family. The show “Tia and Tamera” that was launched on the Style Network back in 2011, was themed to document the sisters juggle between family, career and womanhood. After years of being on the small screen, it appears that the sisters are ready to give up the TV life and move on. Tuesday, Tamera announced via Twitter that the show would not be returning:

Wanted to say Thank You for all the love and support. But most of all welcoming me, my husband, n (and) my son into your homes for 3 seasons … Tia and Tamera will not have a season 4. Thank you for always supporting us throughout the years. Tia n (and) I decided it was time 2 live r (our) family lives behind the cameras…
This may come as a disappointment to fans but the sisters, ensured that they wouldn’t be venturing too far. Tia has a TV comedy, “Instant Mom” (On Nickelodeon) and Tamera is returning as a co-host on “The Real,” the talk show. 

Tia & Tamera released a joint statement on their website on their upcoming ventures,
This year, one of our resolutions is to Say Yes to Less Negativity. We believe that like happiness, positivity is a choice.  We’ve always been glass half-full kind of girls, but we’re not going to deny that it’s easy to fall into a negative mindset when the odds are stacked against you.  This year, we’re choosing to stay positive – no matter what life brings! We know it can be hard – especially when life throws curveballs – but as role models for Cree and Aden, we are choosing to lead by example.
We’re excited to be teaming up with Little Remedies® on their Say Yes To Less campaign.  Whether it’s saying yes to less negativity, distractions, waste or sugar, taking the pledge to Say Yes to Less is the first step in starting the New Year off on the right foot.  We love that they apply the Say Yes to Less mantra to their products as well – their line of children’s medicines, supplements and personal-care products are free of dyes, artificial flavoring and alcohol. Less of the unnecessary. More of what counts. Now that’s the kind of thinking we want to apply in the New Year… ”

Online Company To Make Kanye West-Themed Money, Coinye West [PHOTOS]
The Internet can be a strange yet invigorating place. For those not in the know, a peer-to-peer digital currency exchange system better known as cryptocurrency has been gaining popularity due to pioneering company Bitcoin's genius.
Now a rival company is looking to get in on that action and they're using Lord Yeezus himself, Kanye West as their face. Coinye West is their name and their aim is minimizing the tech savviness of their program to make it more accessible to the general public.
The creators recently told VICE/Noisey that they chose the Kanye for his uniqueness and trendsetting ways. 
Here's a sample of the interview.
I see, so what's the benefit of creating another cryptocurrency? 
There's already quite a few.Coinye West is a cryptocurrency for the masses. Bitcoin is for hardcore money-hoarders, and Dogecoin was more for the internet-meme crowds.

What's your goal?
Our goal with Coinye West is to make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency. Right now, it's kind of a dark art for people to mine coins. We plan on releasing a front end to the "mining" programs called CoinyeMiner. It will make things a lot more simple and people will be able to make their own coins. We're working round-the-clock to get everything going as smoothly as possible.

In lay-mans terms, how does mining work?
Basically, people's computers try and figure out math problems. Hundreds of them work together and when there's a payout, about half a million coins get released from a block, and they get shared between everyone who helped open them. They then get paid out to a wallet, which is a software that people will keep on their computer. They can send or receive coins from there, sorta like Paypal.
We're not sure how Kanye will take to such a dubious honor, seeing that he's looking to tone down the outlandish nature of his persona several notches this year.

Coinye better hope they don't get sued for copyright infringement. Hit the gallery to see pics of the product which is launching on January 11 as well as the official Twitter account. 
Yeah, they're dead serious with this idea.
