Kim Kardashian Is in Full Bloom at Met Gala

The days leading up to the annual Met Gala are always filled with palpable excitement as Hollywood starlets scramble to find fabulous frocks and designers work overtime to make sure their pieces are perfect before being paraded down the red carpet.
This year, however, that pre-gala period had a black cloud hanging over it as the unthinkable was announced: Kim Kardashian would be attending this year's event.

That's right. The much-maligned reality star somehow landed an invitation to the fashion world's biggest night, where A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Katie Holmes rub elbows with fabled designers -- from Diane Von Furstenberg to Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang -- and fashion plates like Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively.
The mom-to-be hit the red carpet Monday night with her baby daddy Kanye West, and while "Punk: Chaos to Couture" was the theme for the evening, it looked like Kardashian had mistakenly thought it was "gardening."
The 31-year-old donned a head-to-toe floral patterned Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown. And we mean head-to-toe. The dress featured long sleeves, a high neck, gloves, and even shoes in the same pattern. The fitted frock also prominently showed off her baby bump.
"I love fashion and I really am excited to see everyone's take on punk,” Kardashian told Vogue as she made her way into the style soiree. "I know it's different for everyone and everyone has their own take on it."
And no, she never went through a punk phase. "I really didn't. That's why I think Riccardo's vision of punk for me is the subtle version."
Her main squeeze also went with a Tisci ensemble, though he kept things quite a bit simpler in his black suit and plain white dress shirt.
West, 35, attended the event last year, but his girlfriend was noticeably absent from his arm and rumors swirled that Vogue editor-in-chief and gala co-host Anna Wintour had banned the reality star.

Oh, how times have changed. This year Kardashian not only made the star-studded guest list, she was also invited to dine with West at Wintour's Manhattan home the night before. (Yes, really!)
As for how Kardashian wound up receiving the royal treatment this time around, some have speculated that Tisci, one of the evening's co-hosts called in the favor since he's close with West.
Kim, you owe him one.

Asa Facing Lesbianism Charges In Court

Asa is reportedly in court battling lesbianism charges.
The case before Justice Coker was to be heard when her star witness, Damilola Amolegbe was said to have declined being called as a witness, telling Asa’s lawyers from Abraham Chambers that she couldn’t be a witness in Asa’s matter.
Having granted the music star much indulgence in the matter, the trial Judge then ordered that the case be closed and called for written address of the two parties.
Asa’s first witness, Taiwo Olakunle of HiTv was suddenly dropped at the earlier trial stage when she was confronted with hard evidences.
Meanwhile her manager Janet Nwose, who was alleged to be having affair with Asa did not come up as a witness which has remained baffling and suspicious to legal experts.
How it all started:
It would be recalled that Asa and her manager, Janet Nwose had a suit against the publishers of a Lagos-based magazine, ‘News of the People’ sometime last year. They urged the court to declare that the statement and picture in the December 14-22 edition of the magazine, entitled “Lesbianism Tale Trails Asa and Manager” was defamatory.
Asa wants the court to declare that the allegation of lesbianism against her and Janet is false, illegal and a violation of their rights.
They are also asking the court to restrain the defendant from further publication of what they described as malicious statements against them, adding that the alleged defamatory statement was calculated to discredit and malign them in their ‘unblemished’ career as international music artists with high moral standing, which they have consistently conveyed in their songs.

Lauryn Hill Sentenced to Three Months in Prison

Recently, Lauryn Hill released a new song, writing on her Tumblr that it was something she "was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline." Referring to her use of social media to publicise her song, she said she loved being able to reach people directly, but that in an ideal scenario, she would not have wanted to rush the release of new music.

She also referenced the tragic loss of former label mate Chris Kelly of Kris Kross, and wrote that she was "even more pressed to YELL" the song to "a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!"

Lauryn Hill pleaded guilty last year to three counts of failing to file tax returns on more than $1.8 million between 2005 and 2007 and was to be sentenced today. According to CNN, she received a three month prison sentence, She must also pay penalties and taxes still owed, a $60,000 fine, serve a year on probation and possibly three months of home confinement.

Wesley Snipes is another celebrity among many that are found trying to evade taxes, deliberately not paying, or maybe they're simply ignorant of the tax system. I hope Lauryn Hill gets through this. Three months doesn't seem like too long...

Paul Okoye Abandons 19-Year Old Baby Mama In London Hospital

Nigeria’s hip hop sensation, P Square (real name Paul Okoye), has reportedly abandoned the mother of his second baby in a London hospital where the woman recently gave birth to the entertainer’s baby.
A few weeks after welcoming his first new born baby in Atlanta, P Square – who is also known as P2 – had another baby delivered for him in a London hospital by a former beauty pageant contestant. However, this time, P Square has refused to claim paternal responsibility for the baby boy.
SaharaReporters learnt that the new baby’s mother is Elshama Benson Igbanoi, a 19-year-old and former Miss Plateau State. Our sources disclosed that she gave birth at the Queen Charlotte and Chelsea Hospital on Du Cane Road, London W12 0HS.
Unilagolodo
said the new mother had been in touch with P2, but he had not been forthcoming beyond telling her that he plans to arrive in London for a DNA test to ascertain paternity. SaharaReporters spoke to the woman’s father, Benson Igbanoi, in Abuja. Mr. Igbanoi stated that his daughter was faithful to the musician. He also revealed that he had sent several emails to P Square concerning his daughter’s pregnancy for him, but had received no response.
Another source said Elshama’s family had contacted Paul Okoye’s father and aunt to persuade the musician to accept responsibility for his baby.
Ms. Elshama insists that she never slept with any man except for P2, adding that she lost her virginity to him when she was 17 years old.
SaharaReporters learnt that the London hospital where she gave birth has not received any payments. “The hospital has been harassing both Elshama and her mother to pay hospital bills of over £5,000 that have been incurred,” said one source. The baby boy has been named Michelle Paul Okoye.
In a twist to the story, a source close to the former beauty queen said Ms. Elshama was a close friend to Anita, the other woman who gave birth to another baby for P2 a few weeks ago in Atlanta, Georgia.
