This young lady has been the subject of outrage over the past few years for her consistently disrespectful cultural appropriation. Despite that, the folks in Hollyweird still found her fit to have her (and weird shoe designer Jeremy Scott) handprints permanently pressed into the concrete outside the TCL Chinese Theater in L.A. Ethnic ire aside, this broad is also know for her supple sweater puppets. Any idea who she is? Keep flipping to find out… Images via WENN

Kid Cudi has a new boo thang! BOSSIP sources have revealed the young lady isn’t exactly a star but she’s well connected in the entertainment world as a celebrity stylist! Our snitch tells us Cudi has been kicking it hard with Mariel Haenn, best known for giving RihRih her edgy look. The pair have been dating on the low since this summer. The new couple met at an L.A. club, and after brushing shoulders on the Hollyweird party scene a few times they finally exchanged numbers and have been kicking it on the regular ever since. Word on the streets is they’ve been trying to keep their status low key and mainly spend time together at his crib in Los Feliz late at night when she wraps up at work. These two have been loving that they both keep busy work schedules because it’s allowed the relationship to breathe so they get plenty of space before getting together at the end of the day. “She’ll come over and they just watch movies or hang in the studio with his boys,” an insider tells BOSSIP. But while things have been low key for a minute, Mariel may be looking for more. “Mariel can’t stop talking about him. She seems excited that she finally has her own guy in the industry to take her to the next level. She’s done well so far but now it’s about her own image.” “She wants to walk the red carpet herself to be honest, and this might just be her ticket,” the source adds. Swirling is nothing new for Cudi. We remember when he was linked to Amanda Bynes and that Jamie Barreto chick. But let’s not forget who Cudi’s FAVORITE white girl is… Speaking of substance abuse — Mariel may want to be careful because we can’t help but to notice that he’s been boozing pretty hard as of late. Our source says the drinking isn’t just a casual thing, friends are concerned that Cudi has developed a serious drinking problem. “He has always been a big whiskey drinker but it seems like the stress from his upcoming album is weighing down on him. He is either stoned or drunk 24/7. No in between,” our BOSSIP source reveals. “Lately his schedule will be him waking up, rolling a b1unt. Starting his day high – he stays inside handling his business and then he’ll hit the studio where he drinks drink after drink after drink. And if he can’t concentrate in the studio then he finds a club about 4 times a week.” Sounds like a hot mess. And especially disturbing because Cudi has a very young daughter ! SMH. Peep the photos from his IG and the recent Gangster Squad premiere below of Cudi boozing it up and enjoy a couple snaps of Mariel as well. With his boozy behavior like it is, does this new relationship stand a chance? We hope he eases up on the alcohol and gets it together. We’d hate to see him lose everything.
