Earlier this year rapper Wiz Khalifa, etched ‘Amb’ short for his girlfriend’s name ‘Amber’ on the inside of his thumb. And now Amber Rose has returned the favour by getting his name inked on hers.

This morning Amber Rose tweeted a picture of her finger which now has a small cursive text tattoo spelling out ‘Cam’, short for ‘Cameron’ because Wiz Khalifa’s real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz.

Her tribute tattoo also comes after Wiz stood by her during a nude pics scandal that saw her lose a modeling contract.

Earlier this month, pornographic photographs of Amber Rose circulated the web after she reportedly sent the images to Nicki Minaj’s then-boyfriend Safaree. But Amber Rose claims that he sent them to himself after discovering them on her computer.

The crazy in love couple is rumoured to be engaged after Wiz Khalifa posted a picture on his website of himself at one of his concerts, on bended knees with his arms wrapped around Amber with a caption that read ” I can’t say it or show it enough how much I love this woman”

The now infamous American actor Charlie Sheen just released his much-anticipated collaboration titled “Winning” with rapper Snoop Dogg.

The new track named after Sheen’s well-known catchphrase, is introduced by actress Carmen Electra, who is best known for her role in the American television series Baywatch. It also features Filter guitarist Rob Patterson.

“The news that Snoop Dogg was working on a track with Charlie Sheen was one of the strangest things we’ve heard in awhile,” writes blogger PopCrush

The Guardian in the UK says “this being Snoop, the rapping is pretty fabulous, but it would be hard to argue this isn’t a new low for popular culture,” and adds “still, at least ‘Winning’ is Snoop’s most SEO-friendly song since the one he did with Katy Perry.”

Sheen, the former Two and a Half Men star and once the highest paid actor on TV, has been in the public eye following a series of increasingly bizarre antics which, some suggest, are due to drug use. While the actor’s behavior has bought him more attention, notably a sold-out tour entitled My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option, many have suggested that he is on a downward spiral of substance abuse.

However, Snoop Dogg has previously said that he and Sheen were “making some real classic material,” adding that Sheen was a “brilliant guy.”

Snoop Dogg just dropped his 11th studio album, Doggumentary, featuring Kanye West, John Legend, Too $hort, Wiz Khalifa, Gorillaz, R. Kelly, and Willie Nelson, among many others. The album is the sequel to his 1993 Doggystyle, which was certified quadruple platinum in sales in the US and is Snoop Dogg’s highest-selling album.

Listen to the song and tell me whether you think they’re WINNING:

Rumour has it that superstar Beyonce Knowles is in South Africa! Apparently, Beyonce, is joined by her husband Jay-Z and rapper Kanye West, and spending time in Mafikeng.

We read a few tweets from people saying that they’ve spotted Bootylicious Beyonce and Jay- Z at Sun City. But we’re not sure how true those claims are. Star struck or not, wouldn’t you take a tweetpic if we spotted the power couple?

What we will say is: Kanye West hasn’t tweeted since March 2, and there’ve been no paparazzi sightings of the beautiful Beyonce since March 1.

He’s often spotted in the Front Row at Fashion Week and now he wants to put his knowledge to theory.

The Grammy winning rapper wants a Masters degree in fashion!

No stranger to controversy, Kanye has reportedly applied for a Masters degree in fashion, at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College in London.

One thing Kanye can’t bank on, is his fame. He was interviewed by the school’s board, who will now decide if he’s made the cut.

Previous students include Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney.

As much as he’s known for his artistic ability, he does know a thing or three about fashion. In 2009, Kanye collaborated with Louis Vuitton – they released a sneaker collection.

I for one, would line up to buy clothing from the Kanye West label (well, that’s if I could afford it).

Rihanna makes a flash in new Kanye West video

By Fifi | 21 February 2011

Criticism for her clothes, or lack thereof, in music videos and during award shows, hasn’t stopped Rihanna baring (almost) all in the new Kanye West music video, All of the Lights.

Rihanna

The Bajan beauty, who celebrated her 23rd birthday on Sunday, sports a black bra in the music video – a bra so revealing one can even see the gun tattoo under her arm.

Rihanna and Kid Cudi join Kanye in this rather colourful music video. Alicia Keys, Fergi, John Legend, The-Dream and La Roux lend their vocals to the song, but are not featured in the video.

If you’re sensitive to flashy lights, you might wanna skip this one.
