Well, I certainly called it with this headline. Nick Cannon, has, indeed, quickly moved on from Selita Ebanks to a woman who is also way too hot for him. This time it’s Zulay Henao, the Columbian-American actress starring opposite Omarion in Feel the Noise.
What is Nick putting in their drinks? There should be a federal investigation.

As cocky as Kanye West might be, he certainly is putting in the promotional work with performances at parties from coast to coast. He’s getting paid, of course. But still. Last night he graced the Sidekick LX launch party with his musical stylings, no doubt rocking the crowd of semi-famous people. More pics from the party after the jump. And dare I say Nick Cannon seems a bit lackluster? He must not be taking his fake breakup from his fake fiancee very well.
It’s quite a rarity to have so many hip hop luminaries in one room, or one (Hammerstein) ballroom, as it was. But VH1 managed to cram as much talent as possible into their Hip Hop Honors show, which taped last night but airs Monday at 10 pm. Yes, there was a lot of talent there, but I don’t count Tracy Morgan, who hosted the awards and couldn’t quite get that teleprompter thing down. Could his SCRAM have been going off right about that time? No worries, I’m sure they’ll have that all cleaned up by Monday.
I had the pleasure of spending the evening in the press room, where the honorees and presenters came back to chat. In fact, so many VIPs were in attendance, I decided to write up my experiences in a handy superlative format. Check out the Best and Worst, plus lots and lots of pictures, after the jump.

Sometimes opposites attract, but in the case of Selita Ebanks and Nick Cannon, not for long.
Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends,” says her rep, Melissa Raubvogel.
The breakup comes just five months after the Drumline actor made a proposal that lit up New York’s Times Square – literally – as he asked Ebanks to marry him with the help of a jumbotron.
This should really come as no surprise, considering the fact that their relationship is widely considered a publicity stunt and Nick’s theory on engagements.

Out of the celebs in attendance at Friday evening’s Baby Phat/KLS show in NYC, the only one who might actually be caught dead in any of the B.P. get-ups on the runway is Remy Ma, who was probably salivating thinking of stuffing herself in that pink denim bedazzled suit. They rest came to see and be seen. See them and some looks from the show after the jump.

See the look on Nick Cannon’s face as he hosted last night’s Teen Choice Awards? I think we are witnessing the moment, captured for posterity by an ingenious photographer, when Nick Cannon officially realized he was too old for this shit.
And yet, the show had to go on. If you have even the slightest interest in who won what, you can find the list of winners here. If not, check out the stars in their teen-friendly award show gear after the jump.

Nick Cannon was full of wisdom on love, marriage, and babies at Mark Ecko’s golf charity in NYC last night. He takes an interesting position on engagement and rock ‘n’ roll dads.
Cannon – who is gearing up to host the Teen Choice Awards with Hilary Duff on August 26 – is a fan of the long engagement because, “you get to know people.”
“It’s that preparation time to see if this is what you really want,” the comedian/actor said at the Tuesday night event, held at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.
A friend of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Cannon also weighed in on the couple’s pregnancy: “She had good parenting, so she’ll know how to get it going.”
What kind of dad will Joel be? “He’ll be a cool dad. The coolest dad. Any rock ‘n’ roll dad is a cool dad.”
I’ve got to disagree on a number of things, here. Nicole’s parents? Not widely considered to have done a very good job. Along the same lines, rock ‘n’ roll dads are not known the world over for being the best out there.
And while I don’t oppose long engagements, it’s supposed to be kind of assumed that you know the person pretty well and are aware that “this is what you really want” before you put the ring on the finger. It’s called dating.
More pics from the last night after the jump.

Men’s fashion at an award show such as this is harder to judge, because many of the attendees arrive in the same clothes they would wear to the grocery store, the club, or the annual pimp convention — none of which are good looks. Don Cheadle, who won the humanitarian award for his work in Darfur, looks pretty dapper (and he gave a great acceptance speech). I can’t say the same for all of the guys in attendance. See for yourself after the jump.

With all the black music stars in Los Angeles for tomorrow’s BET awards, the parties, gifting suites, rehearsals, profoundly ridiculous fashion choices (ahem, Luda), and ill-timed brawls (ahem, T.I.) abounded. Check out more pics from the weekend’s BET-inspired events after the jump.
