Tila Tequila was spotted at STK Steakhouse in Los Angeles last night, and she looked amazing!
She left rehab earlier this week for help with psychological issues and drug addiction, after attempting suicide last month.
She looks good!

Not a good look.
Nicki Minaj attended a “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” CD signing at the F.Y.E. music store on April 4, 2012 in Philadelphia, PA.
As for her new album, I’m a bit on the fence with this one. I looooooooooooooved her last album “Pink Friday”. So far, however, I havne’t liked any of Nicki’s new stuff. Her performance at the Grammys was a HUGE turn-off also.
Here’s what some of the critics are saying about her new album, which was released on Tuesday:
The LA Times: “A supremely confident Minaj trades verses with otherwise cocky male rappers such as Lil Wayne, Drake, Nas and 2 Chainz and not only proves herself their equal but also pushes them to step up with their own ace verses. On the effervescent, minimally invasive bounce track “Beez in the Trap,” Minaj plays the queen of a hive, with Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz buzzing around her.
But then, after the ridiculousness that is “Sex in the Lounge” (which sounds like a Lonely Island parody of an R. Kelly song, and, unsuprisingly, features Lil Wayne), the album drives off a cliff. In a spectacularly unfortunate crash-and-burn, Minaj abruptly hits the accelerator and stops rapping, leaving behind the minimal, bouncy hip-hop tracks that highlight her charm and achievement in favor of 128-beat-per-minute dance pop songs as simple as they are generic.”
Billboard: “Indeed, the first half of Roman Reloaded is the sound of Minaj doing a victory lap – already established enough in hip-hop to compete with her male counterparts, she leaves plenty of room for guests like Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Drake, and Chris Brown to take the mic. This time around, however, she seems to have her sights set on competing with Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Madonna, based on the album’s pop-heavy second half. If you thought her David Guetta single “Turn Me On” was a major departure last summer, get ready for five more songs that sound pretty much exactly like that.
In short, Minaj spends more time exploring her musical identity on Roman Reloaded than she does perfecting one, which makes the album sound bloated and rushed.”
Slant Magazine: “The three tracks following “Roman Holiday” are “Roman” songs—i.e., hard, confrontational rap songs with guests like Cam’ron and Rick Ross. And they’re brilliant. “Come on a Cone” has her rhyming over a snarling knot of synths that sounds like a swarm of bees, and includes breaks for Minaj to do her best approximation of a pop-diva vocal while she coos about putting her dick in your face. It’s one of the most hilarious and genuinely unexpected moments I’ve heard from a rapper not named Missy Elliott.
The album is partitioned almost exactly between a rap half and a pop half; the former is unquestionably stronger, but after “Beez in the Trap,” it limps off to its own disheartening conclusion.”
The Washington Post: “Roman Reloaded splits the difference, dividing its 19 songs into “rap” and “pop” sides, which means that Minaj isn’t so much subverting expectations as giving in to them. Twice. Your enjoyment of Roman Reloaded, pop’s most tuneful hollow victory, will probably be inversely proportional to your level of attachment to the original, “authentic” Minaj. The hip-hop songs — some so dirty they should come with their own hazmat teams — are feature-heavy, unerringly sharp and almost entirely great. But they can’t help but seem less fierce against the pink fluff of Roman’s second half.
“The only thing that’s pop is my endorsement op,” Minaj rasps, although the song is, paradoxically, the gateway track to the album’s pop-on-steroids second half. It makes matters painfully clear: Minaj’s competition is no longer the ’90s ghost of Lil’ Kim. It’sKaty Perry.”
And that’s only a handful of reviews…. you can read more here!

I never needed to see this picture of Perez Hilton. What on earth!? I understand he’s lost a bunch of weight – but really? This is NOT HOT. The guy creeps me out.
Celebrities turned up last night for the Logo Network’s ‘NewNowNext’ Awards 2012 at the Avalon club in Hollywood.
Also at the event: Josh Hutcherson, Adam Lambert (and his bedroom eyes), Kelly Osbourne, Busy Phillips and Kyle Richards.
One more – for the win!

Jennifer Lopez debuted her new music video for “Dance Again” last night during American Idol.
Yesterday US Weekly ran a story claiming that “There’s a hot and steamy, sexy scene in the video where J. Lo, Casper and the dancers are on the floor pawing at each other,” the source tells Us Weekly. “They’re very scantily clad.”
I don’t know if I’d call that a “hot and steamy scene”. That didn’t look like much of anything, if you ask me.
Other than that – Jennifer Lopez looks really great (when she’s not covered in glitter) and Casper Smart does look pretty hot. I’m not a huge fan of the song, but the video was ok… What did you think?

Looks like things are going really well for ol’ Casper and J.Lo! According to US Weekly, they recently wrapped shooting a music video together for her new song, “Dance Again”. According to a source on the set of the music video, the two shot an “orgy scene”.
Blush!
Here’s more from US Weekly:
Things are getting hot and heavy between Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart – and on Thursday night, millions of viewers will see their love on display when “Dance Again” premieres during American Idol.
According to a music video set source, the singer, 42, and her dancer beau, 24, filmed an “orgy scene” similar to the image being used for the single’s album artwork. “There’s a hot and steamy, sexy scene in the video where J. Lo, Casper and the dancers are on the floor pawing at each other,” the source tells Us Weekly. “They’re very scantily clad.”
Another scene features Lopez and a shirtless Smart wearing blindfolds with the phrase “Love Is Blind” written across the black silk.
Ironically, Lopez has been fairly tight-lipped about her romance with Smart, who is 18 years her junior. “He’s adorable. But you already see that,” she recently told Vogue. “He really is [sweet]. He’s a good egg. I don’t want to talk about it too much. It’s my private thing.”
Lopez’s “Dance Again” music video will premiere during American Idol Thursday on FOX.
Speaking of blushing…………. this has nothing to do with anything, BUT. I’m currently in the middle of reading “50 Shades of Grey” and I tell you what! That book has got me blushing like there was no tomorrow! I’m no prude, to be clear, but this book certainly pushes the limits! The rights have already been bought to turn the book into a movie, and I’ve read several articles calling for Ryan Gosling to play the lead of Christian Grey. So as I’m reading the book, all I can do is picture Ryan’s body face! You might have to read it….

Amber Rose is over the moon excited to talk about her new engagement to her boyfriend, rapper Wiz Khalifa! The two have been dating since 2011, and Rose is eager to let the public know she’s found the love of her life. Don’t be fooled by Rose’s avant-garde look or her romantic track record (cough, Kanye West, cough), though: Rose, 28, is just like any normal bride-to-be-who-is-a-famous-model-who-is-dating-an-internationally-respected-rap-star, and she wants us to share in her excitement. Rose tells People that she’s got marriage on the brain, and thinks about it “like all day. No matter what I’m doing I always have my wedding on my mind. So I’m really excited.”
Though she won’t reveal the date or the dress, Rose assures the public that she’s got a lot more work to do- food, flowers and a venue, to boot. Well, Amber, I know my Milwaukee-area Elk’s lodge is probably pretty open. Do you want me to make a call? No? That’s okay. I’m still uber-excited to see what your fashion-forward self dreams up for the big event!
