Lil Kim isn't just attending the Fashion Week shows in NYC, but she's performing as well.  Check the video of her hitting the stage at Opening Ceremony's 10th Anniversary party, plus Kanye West talks about how HIS Kim helped him sex other chicks...

Over at Webster Hall, Lil Kim took the stage as Opening Ceremony's clothing company's surprise guest.  She turned up the audience with "Crush On You."  And in the audience: M.I.A., A$AP Rocky, Paris Hilton, and Chloë Sevigny.

Check out a snippet of her performance above.

 

And in other "Kim" news, Kanye West (either his camp or Kim's camp sent TMZ this info we're sure) told folks he watched now girlfriend Kim K.'s sex tape while he was sexing other chicks.  Apparently, chick lying in bed like a board turns him on.  But nonetheless, Kanye said he used the Kim K. Superstar tape to get in the mood and to get it in with other chicks.  That explains why he's been trying to get at her for years now.

So now that he has his own Kimmy K....he no longer needs that tape we guess.  But didn't Kanye previously say he never saw the tape?  Interesting...

Teyana Taylor covers VIBE Vixen's debut Fashion Issue were she dishes on lessons learned from her G.O.O.D. Music homie 2 Chainz, being a role model and learning to not let lesbian & non-virgin rumors get to her. Get cover and highlights inside...

Singer/actress Teyana Taylor stars in the VIBE Vixen Fashion issue as the hot cover girl.  And she's telling what it's like getting spoiled by her labelmates on G.O.O.D. music and things she's learned from 2 Chainz. The "Her Room" remixer also dished on how her choice of attire has caused folks to make comments about her sexuality.  Here are the highlights:

 

Teyana on what she's learned from 2 Chainz:

He's the closest to my situation. Being signed to another great person before coming to Def Jam, the situation is not really working in your favor and now look. He's showing me that everything is about timing, so don't ever think that your time is not going to come. My season is coming up soon.

Teyana on her relationship with the fellas from G.O.O.D. Music:

All of them play all day, and I love that. With work ,everyone is down to business. It's good that everyone has a serious side but also a sense of humor. It definitely makes work fun. That's the good thing about working with the boys. They spoil you. I'm a spoiled brat [laughs].

Teyana on being a role model:

I do think the way I dress and the way I brand myself--I'm very proud of myself that I can inspire young girls. If you have a body, embrace it. You ain't always got to be sexy. Sometimes less is more. Like less make up is more. If I want to be in Jordans, a half top and shorts then that's what I'm going to wear. Call me gay, call me what you want to...And now everybody is doing it.

Teyana on being judged by her fashions:

I feel like I'm at a point where I don't have to do that anymore. Once I got older and matured more, it was still a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. When I was dressed in my streetwear, I was gay. Then, I do one shoot, show some skin and now I'm not a virgin. I can't win for losing.

 

Teyana is working on her own music and will be dropping some new ish soon.  The full article will be available in VIBE Vixen tomorrow.

Well isn't this cozy.  Usher Raymond is growing even closer to his manager/girlfriend Grace Miguel.  The twosome spent the weekend bonding with their boys--Usher's kiddies & Grace's kiddies--together.

 

Pics inside...

Now that Usher has full custody of his and ex-wife Tameka Raymond's sons Naviyd & Usher V, it's non stop playtime with Daddy.  The trio of Raymond boys kicked it with Usher's girlfriend and her sons this weekend.  And pics were posted on Twitter:

Dinner dates and fun around the house.  Isn't that special.  And what does Tameka think about all this, as she's said previously she does NOT want Grace anywhere near her kids?  Well, she actually Favorited the picture on her Twitter account.  And seeing that Tameka plans to appeal the judge's custody decision, we can only wonder what that little Tweet will lead to.

Grace and Tameka actually have lots in common.  Both are over 40, both have sons, both started dating Usher after working for him, and both tried to hide the relationship with him in the beginning.  Wonder how this one will turn out.

MOVIE LOVERS: Will & Jada Smith Bring The Kids To The Toronto Film Festival

The Smiths headed to Canada yesterday to partake in the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).  Papa Will is putting his mega star power behind a new political documentary called Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners.

 

Check out the fab pics of one of Hollywood's most famous families inside...


Jada Pinkett Smith--rocking the same sexy zipped back Tom Ford dress as Kim K. & Jennifer Lopez--was on hand with her kiddies Jaden & Willow to support hubby Will Smith and a new political documentary.

Will is helping out director Shola Lynch--pictured in the middle of the top pic--with her new film about radical political activist Angela Davis (pictured in top pic next to Jada).  Sidra Smith (twin sister of Tasha Smith and pictured next to Jaden in top pic) is also one of the producers.

The film, according to Eurweb, is one that documents Angela's efforts of political change in her own right:

The documentary chronicles the activism of (now Professor) Angela Davis, and the subsequent implications, which had her charged with attempted kidnapping and murder. It features interviews with Davis, her Lawyers, the FBI agents assigned to the case, and the journalists who covered one of the most volatile trials of the ’60s.

Davis’ imprisonment sparked a worldwide movement for her freedom as a political prisoner, while she was simultaneously being labeled a terrorist. The film wrestles with the meaning of political freedom in a democracy negotiated between the people and its government.

Usher is gearing up alongside Shakira to replace "The Voice" coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo.  Deets inside...

For the upcoming next cycle of "The Voice," Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo will be taking a season off to work on their music, tours and tv projects.  So, R&B/Pop man Usher has been tapped to keep one of the seats warm.  And Latin bombshell Shakira has been tapped for the other seat.

The show's Executive Producer Mark Burnett said, “Usher is not just a singer or an entertainer, he is a global icon.”

The L.A. gig is also good for Usher's new schedule as a full-time primary custody dad, so he canhave his boys in one place for a certain amount of time.

As for the semi-surprising change-up, Deadline.com reports:

When it expanded The Voice to two editions a year, NBC brass said that not all Voice coaches will be able to do both cycles of the reality singing competition because of the demands of their music careers. NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt said the network was “happy to accommodate” Green and Aguilera’s commitments. “The participants on our show benefit from our coaches’ expertise and their continued success in the music business allows for significant new contributions to the contestants when they return,” he said.

Both Christina and Cee-Lo will return the following fall.  You excited to see Ursh take on a prominent role on a music competition show?

The "Triumphant" singer hinted to MTV that it's just rumors.  And asked, "How you gonna feaud in 2 days?"  Well...we've seen worse Mimi.  Ask Demi Lovato & Simon Cowell.

Denzel Washington COVERS The October 2012 Issue of "GQ" AND Dishes On His LEGENDARY Roles And LIFE MANTRA

Denzel Washington covers the latest issue of GQ magazine where he dishes on some of his legendary roles and and how he got started in the business.  Get the deets inside......

 

In his 42nd flim, 2 Guns, actor Denzel Washington stars with Mark Wahlberg where they play a DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence officer who've both set up by the mob.  Filmed in New Orleans, the role is sure to become another legendary mark on the fab actors' career.

And while dishing on a few of his fab roles, the actor donned a few dapper suits for the latest issue of GQ. Inside the mag, he dished on getting his start in the business, some of his legendary roles and the mantra he lives by in life.  Here are the highlights:

 

On his first memory of being onstage

I was around 7, 8, whatever I was. We did a talent show at the Boys Club. Me and another guy, Wayne Bridges—God rest his soul—he's the father of Chris Bridges, Ludacris. We decided to be the Beatles. So we went to John's Bargain Store and bought fake guitars and wigs and did "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

On his first gigs:

I remember something to do with Fruit of the Loom, but I don't think I got that. I did a Mrs. Paul's fish sticks. And I did a Burger King with Jeff Daniels. Or was it Mrs. Paul's fish sticks with Jeff Daniels? That was '77.

On his mantra:


I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word. I read something great yesterday. It said, "Don't aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference."

On meeting Frank Lucas for American Gangster:

I found a guy who can knock people off. How do you act that? When we were working on Man on Fire, [director] Tony Scott* sent me a tape about the Iceman, the guy that killed all of those people. Later I saw this footage of a young girl getting shot. She didn't do anything but drop. It's morbid fascination, but that's what I'm looking for. That's what I did in Training Day. After I get shot, there's no last speech. I want that reality.

On creating his "infamous" Training Day line:


A lot of credit goes to Antoine Fuqua, the director. He brought the gangster aspect into it. The script was more like a 2000 version of a Lethal Weapon kind of guy. That line "King Kong ain't got nothin' on me"—I made that up. The character's ego, he just did not think he could lose. That was his problem.

On feeling the Holy Spirit:


That was thirty years ago, at the church I still attend. The minister was preaching, "Just let it go." I said, "I'm going to go with it." And I had this tremendous physical and spiritual experience. It did frighten me. I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was purging. It was too intense. It almost drove me away. I called my mother, and she said I was being filled with the Holy Spirit. I was like, "Does that mean I can never have wine again?"

On life after Xscape:

I’ve just BEen busy. It’s BEen a whirlwind, but I’ve started to write and explore myself and the thoughts inside of me. Continuously working!"

On the possibilities of an Xscape reunion:
"I would LOVE for that to happen! I know Tiny she hit me like a week ago like you know lets talk and do lunch, so I may put that bug in her ear and see how she feels about it. My sister Tameka is always down so that’s her, as far as Kandi, I haven't spoken to her, but you never know.

Missy Elliott & Timbaland DISH On Drake's Aaliyah Album, Ciara's Comeback & Nicki Minaj With "The Breakfast Club"

Missy Elliott and Timbaland dropped by The Breakfast Club this morning to dish on Missy's return, how she and Timbaland feel about the Aaliyah project and what they think about some of today's new artists.  Watch the interview inside....

 

Today in NYC, Missy Elliott was seen making her way to the Sirius XM studios in New York City.

"L&HH NYC" star Yandy Smith (who's a part of Missy's management team) came along to support Missy who's promoting her "9th Inning" and "Triple Threat" singles.

 

And early this morning, Missy and Timbaland stopped of Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club where Missy gave an emotional interview about the state of music today, the Aaliyah project and Nicki Minaj.

When it came to music, Missy said she wanted artists to respect one another and said you don't have to tear someone down to make yourself bigger.  Though Lil' Kim was NEVER mentioned by name, Missy made an interesting analogy saying she didn't think James Brown became irrelevant once Michael Jackson hit the scene.  And she said the same think about Beyonce not making Tina Turner irrelevant.  The subject came up right after a discussion about Nicki Minaj and Missy began to tear up saying the music industry is very tough and no one wants they work discredited by newer artists.

On the subject of Nicki Minaj, Missy said she appreciates what she brings to hip hop and Timbaland said she's really holding it down for female MCs and opening the door for others.  

Though the hosts had plenty of jokes about Ciara and where her career is now, Missy was very supportive and said the pair may perform together at Black Girls Rock.  

When asked about the Aaliyah/Drake project, Timbaland expressed disbelief saying, "Let me tell you the craziest thing, is it really real? I don’t know if this is a real topic."

Missy jumped in saying, 

"I can say this, nobody has reached out to me. It’s not even about reaching out to me, I personally want to respect her family. If her mother or father or brother hasn’t said they want to make an Aaliyah album. Yeah, we still mourn, but not the way this family (does). So until they come and say Missy and Tim we’re ready to do an Aaliyah album, we just pull back from it."

And by the way, Mona Scott-Young (who manages Missy) was also in the studio.   When asked if she would ever do reality tv, Missy said, Nah, I ain’t messing w/ that world. 

Also, Missy said marriage rumors are not true.

Watch the interview here;

 

 

BONUS:

Besides working with Missy, Yandy Smith is a new mother. She recently released some new pics of her little one Harris.  She said, "This is me singing happy birthday to my pookabear. He hated it!"

She added, "My stinkadoodle at 6 weeks! He's getting sooo big. I just love him down to the ground."

Beyonce & Jay-Z Raise $4 Million, Party With President Obama At 40/40 Club

Jay-Z & Beyonce spent Tuesday night partying and raising campaign money with President Obama.  Check out the words they all had for each other while chillin' at the 40/40 club inside....

Over at Jay's 40/40 Club in Manhattan, President Obama kicked it with The Carters--after his taping of "Letterman" and another fundraising dinner at the Waldorf Astoria.

The hip hop power couple helped raise $4 million for POTUS' Presidential campaign at the $40,000/ticket fundraising dinner.  And it was pretty obvious the mutual admiration Mr. President and The Carters have for each other.

Bey introduced POTUS saying, ”I can’t tell you how proud we are to host tonight’s event with President Obama.  We believe in his vision.”

And a snippet of the President's remarks where he joked about being a lot like Jay--they both have daughters and both of their wives are more popular than them:

Thank you. Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you. Well, it is wonderful to see all of you. I’m so grateful for all your support.

Let me just begin by saying to Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. We are so grateful. Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here. (Laughter.) That doesn’t usually happen. Usually they’re like, we’re glad you’re going — we don’t need to go. But every time they get a chance to see these two they are thrilled, partly because they are just both so generous, particularly to my kids. And Malia and Sasha just love both of them.

Beyoncé couldn’t be a better role model for our daughters because she carries herself with such class and poise — (applause) — and has so much talent. And Jay-Z now knows what my life is like. (Laughter.) We both have daughters, and our wives are more popular than we are. (Laughter and applause.) So we’ve got a little bond there. (Laughter.) It’s hard, but it’s okay. It’s okay. (Laughter.)

Sweet!

BONUS: President Obama's campaign is launching their Runway To Win fundraiser again where fashion designers have made Pro-Obama gear to be sold for fundraising money.  Beyonce & her mom, Tina, designed Obama baby onesies from House of Dereon (of course) that retail for $65 each:
