ESPY Awards: Oscars for the tall, muscular, and athletically-inclined

The Espy Awards — where the celebrities of sports and entertainment meet and take hilarious pictures with one another (see above) — were last night. LaDainian Tomlinson was the big winner, and host LeBron James did a routine, with costume, to “My Prerogative,” but you won’t see any of that unless you watch the awards on ESPN this Sunday. For me, the pictures are quite enough. Check out Mary J. Blige, Shaq, Reggie Bush, Serena Williams, and more after the jump.

BET Awards 2007: The Gentlemen

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.

Loving You Is Easy ‘Cause…
It's Legal

As I informed you earlier, today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia, which officially legalized interracial unions. A group of overly sentimental people have dubbed this day Loving Day, during which we are all supposed to celebrate our legal right to love and marry whoever we want (as long as they’re of the opposite sex). Here is a smattering of some famous interracial couples, starting with two of my favorites, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.

Semi-Famous Black Men Are To Kim Kardashian As Greek Shipping Heirs Are To Paris Hilton

  • If Kim Kardashian isn’t in a movie (a real one), making an album, brokering world peace, or otherwise doing something constructive of any kind, I don’t really care who her boyfriend is. This girl was taking serious notes as her ex-friend Paris became famous for doing nothing but going to parties and being slutty. [TMZ]
  • There’s a market out there for celebrity diapers. Someone should jump on that. []
  • Clive Davis is just completely unhappy with his American Idol winners, isn’t he? [SR]
  • Aretha Franklin is powerless to stop pigs feet and barbecued ribs from entering her mouth. Her fiance doesn’t seem to mind. [C&D]

Kim Kardashian Sleeping With Every Available 20-Something Black Man
50 Down, Several Million To Go


There’s only a small pool of young, attractive and eligible black men out there, and lucky for us, Kim Kardashian has always picked her past boyfriends from outside that pool. However, I know a number of Reggie Bush fans who would be less than happy to hear that he’s next in Kim’s sex tape line.

A source tells Star, “Kardashian left the party holding hands with the New Orleans Saints running back, Reggie Bush.”

Although the NFL player came to the gathering with some friends, his time was mostly spent cuddling with Kardashian at her VIP table.

“The two were totally into one another and were thisclose as they spoke,” the source tells Star. “It was like they forgot there was a party going on around them.”

Best of luck to Kim and Reg, although she doesn’t seem to do well in the longterm commitment department. Curiously, her last “look at me” relationship with Marques Houston only lasted until his latest album was released.
