Casper Smart? Just call him Casper Cute! On the occasion of his girlfriend’s 44th birthday , the dancer and choreographer Tweeted a special message to Jennifer Lopez. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my very very beautiful bear the nicest, sweetest, funniest, sexiest bear there is!” Smart wrote to J. Lo. “Love u.” The 26-year old has been dating the former American Idol panelist since 2011 and a source tells Us Weekly that everything is going “great” for the couple. “He’s fantastic; he’s like my best friend. I can tell him everything, when I’m feeling down, when I’m feeling good,” Lopez told the Harper’s Bazaar in January. “He gives moral support, endless love and support.” Lopez may need to fight with a certain canine over her Twitter nickname, however. Casper and Jennifer adopted a brown boxer puppy named “Bear” earlier this year. There’s gotta be some doggy style joke in here someplace, right?
Bruce Willis is a fine actor and a great ex-husband. But he may be the world’s worst movie promoter. Conducting an interview this week with Magic 105.4 FM in London, the actor looked more disinterested than Chris Brown at a violence against women seminar, answering questions with one word and making it clear he’d rather be ANYwhere else. Willis is seated alongside Mary-Louise Parker for the Q&A, who recently said she may quit acting because people on the Internet are so mean. But perhaps she just wants to get as far away as possible from her Red 2 costar! Bruce Willis Sort of Promotes Red 2
The girl who alleged that Chris Brown assaulted her at a club is suing him. Despite earlier claims that she’s not out for money … she totally is. Deanna Gines wants $25,000 minimum , she says in court papers. Gines’ story is suspect at best. She claims he shoved her to the ground last month at Heat Ultra Lounge in Orange County, causing knee ligament damage. Chris denied the claim, as did the club owner, and photos showed her walking around fine on the “injured” leg. She also said she wanted an apology – that’s it. So much for that. Now Deanna’s unabashedly suing Brown as well as the nightclub for battery, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Makes Rihanna’s Instagram dig at him seem tame.
Funny how someone “on fire” could be so cold out here in the streets Alicia Keys Talks About Her New Album “Girl On Fire” Swizzy’s better half (depending on who you ask…) is back and ready to drop a new album full of loud screaming and drawn out words (Fi-iiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrre) Via Essence Essence: You have five albums under your belt with a catalogue of classics. Girl on Fire is all about a new you. How are you going to serve up a brand new sound while still delivering more classics? Alicia Keys : I don’t think it’s really anything to be concerned about. I think that for me, I’ve always started my music mostly on the piano. There is a certain style of music that I just gravitate towards – that’s probably going to be a piano and a voice, and something kind of stripped back and simple. That’s going to happen naturally. Then there are other styles that come through or are new for me, or inspire me because they sound different. But nine times out of ten, they start at the piano. If they end up evolving and they have different sounds in them then it’s all good. The music always starts from home base. So you’ll always get what you’re looking for from me while also being able to grow with me to the next level. I think it’s a cool balance. When you hear the whole record, you’re going to love this one the best yet. E: How can someone be on fire like you? AK: By being yourself. By finding your passion. I think that’s the cool thing about being on fire. It’s about not trying to be anyone else. It’s about finding your comfort zone. It’s about setting yourself free and releasing things that might have held you back, people that might not fit with you anymore. It’s about stepping into your confidence and knowing that you trust yourself, your thoughts are valid, you’re smart, you know what to do and you trust your own spirit. I think it’s about stepping into your light and owning it, however it is. I think that’s what being on fire is. E: Finally, fans have been dying to know what ever happen to the “Put It In a Love Song” video you shot with Beyoncé ? AK: Ohhh man! Y’all aren’t going to leave me alone about that! Sometimes with creative things [it] all comes together and it’s (makes perfection kissing noise) and sometimes things almost come together and it’s better to just leave it. So we love that song. We had a ball shooting the video. It just so happens that the whole thing, for some reason or another, didn’t quite come together so we just decided to leave it. And that’s what happened. Yeah, ok, all that positive, “find yourself and be free” stuff sounds great, but the last lil bit about the failed Beyonce video sound suspect at BEST. Will you be checking for Alicia’s new music or has she over-stayed her musical welcome?? Image via Tumblr
