Kathy Griffin -- I QUIT 'FASHION POLICE' -- It's Too Mean

Kathy Griffin has thrown in the towel, quitting "Fashion Police" because she thinks it's too mean-spirited.

Griffin just tweeted a treatise, saying, "I thought I could bring my brand of humor to Fashion Police so that beautiful people in beautiful dresses could be teased when appropriate." Griffin adds, "My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT. There's plenty to make fun of in pop culture without bringing people's bodies into it."

Griffin was not specific on what changed her tune, but she did say, "I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference." 

She never mentioned the whole thing with Zendaya at the Oscars, but she did mention in her tweet being a champion of people of color.

Lindsay Lohan -- Still Cleans Up ... Real Good (PHOTO)

One thing's for sure, Lindsay Lohan looks way better in a cream colored coat and bell-bottomed black slacks, than jailhouse orange ... which she keeps narrowly dodging. 

Lohan was walking around London ... where she's been flying under the radar since an L.A. judge ordered her to perform 125 additional hours of community service.

This is the best we've seen her look in a while -- however, time spent putting together one's outfit and applying one's makeup ... does NOT count as community service. 

It's unclear if LiLo's aware of that.

Larry King -- I Want to Be the Next Host of 'Fashion Police'

Khloe Kardashian and NeNe Leakes might be the favorites to fill the empty chair on "Fashion Police," but there is a new contender throwing his hat into the ring ... Larry King.

Yes, the octogenarian wants a shot at the gig and demonstrated his couture knowledge Monday night by critiquing the outfits of some younger people on his way into BOA.  

King doesn't seem to know things like the names of designers (he's baffled by Vans) or have any fashion sense of his own .... but he'd still make a helluva host!

Fashion Police -- Open Season On Kelly's Seat ... And Kathy Wants Final Say

Kelly Osbourne's departure opened the floodgates ... Hollywood agents are scrambling to get their clients a shot at her "Fashion Police" seat -- but they'll have to get past Kathy Griffin first. 

Our sources at the network say it's been inundated by candidates -- pitched mostly by agents from CAA and WME. We're also told E! execs are squashing Kathy's desire to apply the stamp of approval. They say the final choice will be theirs.  

So far Naya Rivera, Christina Milian, NeNe Leakes, and Khloe Kardashian remain the front runners, but we're told it's still anybody's game.

Fashion fight!

Sean Kingston -- Diamond Guy Cuts Him Down to Size in Court

Sean Kingston just bought some expensive jewelry ... against his will. Let's just say it's a court-ordered purchase.

Sean skated off with $226k worth of jewelry from 2008-2013 but never paid a dime ... this according to Avi Da Jeweler who filed a lawsuit against Sean.

The singer's rep told us last August ... Sean coughed up more than $300k and had the cashed checks to prove it.

If that were so, it should have been easy to win the lawsuit, but Sean never filed an answer so the judge just issued a default judgment, to the tune of $356k.

As puzzling as it is that Sean never produced the checks, it's just as puzzling why Avi kept giving the dude jewelry when he wasn't paying jack.

We've reached out to his rep but so far no comment.

Kendall Jenner -- Nearly Trampled After Paris Fashion Show (VIDEO)

Kendall Jenner drew crowds in Paris that rivaled Charles Lindbergh ... well, maybe not exactly, but pretty close.

Kendall was leaving the Balmain Fashion Show where she had just walked the runway and when she left it was next to impossible to traverse the hundreds of crazed fans.

Kendall was with a bodyguard who was way too small for the task.  

Kim, Kanye and mama Kris were safely inside, having just watched Kendall do her thing. BTW, Kim and Kanye were also swarmed when they came in, but the Kendall craziness took the cake.

Khloe Kardashian -- Saving Her Voice ... To Talk Fashion?

Kelly Osbourne is out and Khloe Kardashian is in at "Fashion Police" ... maybe ... depending on how you view this clip.

It didn't take long for rumors to start flying that Khloe -- who covered Oscars red carpet fashions for E! --might fill Kelly's shoes over at 'FP.' So, Sunday at LAX a photog asked her straight up about joining Kathy Griffin and Melissa River's team.

Watch ... Khloe's definitely playing it close to the vest, but y'know -- sometimes people say less when there's more on the line.

Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson -- It's a Walk-Off! Hansel and Derek Crash Paris Fashion Week

Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald un-retired for a surprise appearance in Paris today ... treating the crowd at the Valentino show to an epic "walk-off."

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson stunned the crowd by bringing back the characters for Fashion Week ... as sort of a dry-run for the upcoming "Zoolander" sequel.

Neither said a word -- in true male model fashion -- but worked their magic on the runway.

Finally ... more funding for "The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

They're so hot right now.

Steve Francis -- Here's Your Stolen Gold Chain! J. Prince Shows Off the Goods

Steve Francis is about to feel the pressure ... of his massive gold chain -- which his friend and rap mogul J. Prince got back for him, and is now proudly showing it off for cameras.

Rap-A-Lot Recrords honcho J. Prince held up the chain like a fisherman who bagged a great white shark ... and told the local FOX station in Houston he can't wait to return it to its proper owner.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- Stevie Francis was on stage at a Sauce Twinz show when someone jacked the chain off his neck. As we also first told you ... Steve's pal J. Prince put out word on the street that it better be returned, or else. 

The man gets results ... can't argue with that.

NFL's Kareem Jackson -- I Paid $15k ... To Immortalize My Favorite Cleats

NFL player Kareem Jackson spares no expense for his feelings ... 'cause the Houston Texans star paid over $15k for a tiny blinged-out replica of his favorite pair of cleats ... and they're pretty freakin' awesome.

We spoke with the guys down at AJ's Jewelers in Miami who tell us Jackson made a special request to transform his Nike Vapor Cleats into a miniature charm he could rock around his neck.

That's when they sprung into action ... taking over three weeks to create a VVS diamond-encrusted, 3D version of the shoes ... and when all was said and done, the pieces were worth more than $15k.

FYI -- AJ's has also created some pretty sweet stuff for other NFL stars ... including iced-out mini-jerseys for guys like T.Y. Hilton and Michael Huff.

Being rich ... it actually, truly, doesn't suck.

North West -- Sorry, Mom, No Gucci ... I Want 'Frozen'!

North West is rebelling against Kim Kardashian's tyrannical fashion reign, eschewing her couture tastes to go with a "Frozen" themed suitcase as she walked through Charles de Gaulle Airport Thursday.

They grow up so fast -- she'll be posting her own selfies and hosting jungle gym openings in no time.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West -- Moved or Be Moved! Bodyguard Rams Crowd (VIDEO)

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's bodyguard launched himself into the crowd outside a Paris Fashion Week event when fans and photogs got way too close for Kanye's comfort. 

Kimye was heading into the Balmain show Thursday morning -- entering through the back door -- to go see Kendall Jenner walk the runway. But the instant they stepped out of their car ... the crowd started to swarm and Kanye barked at security to clear a path for Kim ... which they did on her side of the car.

But on his side, things started to get hairy -- and that's when the hired muscle sprung into action.

Watch the clip ... NFL linebackers would be proud of this guy.

Lupita Nyong'o Stolen Dress -- Thief Gets Away with It ... Case Closed

The guy who burglarized Lupita Nyong'o's hotel room and stole what he THOUGHT was a $150,000 dress has gotten away with the crime, because Calvin Klein wants the whole thing to go away.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... reps from Calvin Klein contacted the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. earlier this week and said they had no interest in pursuing the case now that they got the dress back ...and it's pretty obvious why.

The thief called TMZ Friday and indignantly said he took 2 of the pearls down to the L.A. Garment District for appraisal, only to learn they were fake and worthless. He told us he had returned the dress to The London West Hollywood hotel and left it under a sink in a 2nd floor bathroom. We told the cops, and they got the dress. 

We're told the Calvin Klein people did not tell cops why they did not want to pursue the case, but it's pretty obvious. The dress was represented as the real deal, and the dressmaker clearly doesn't want to put a spotlight on the phony pearls.

Case closed. Score one for a bold, somewhat reckless thief.

Kris Jenner & North West -- Repping for Kanye ... You Gotta Start 'Em Young

Kris Jenner welcomed her granddaughter into the family biz ... of shameless promotion -- and North West's game is strong.

Kris was walking through Heathrow Airport in London with Kim and Kanye West's toddler over the weekend ... and had her decked out in a Yeezus tour jacket. Not to be outdone ... Grandma Jenner was wearing a pair of the new Yeezus shoes.

Bonus points to 21-month-old North for that classic Kanye-esque sneer. 

She's about four, five seconds from ... making serious bank just like the rest of her family.

Piers Morgan -- I've Known Lupita's Dress Was Fake Since Oscar Night

It didn't take a fashion expert to know Lupita Nyong'o's stolen "pearl" dress was fake -- since Piers Morgan claims he knew it was bogus the second he saw it on Oscar night.

We got Morgan in NYC Monday ... and he says he rubbed elbows with the Oscar winner at the Vanity Fair party, and was close enough to realize the gown was all smoke and mirrors. Watch him explain why it fooled people without his keen eye. 

As for the theft of the dress originally believed to be worth over $150K ... well, he only sees one loser in all of this.

We'll hand it to Piers ... his take on the heist is entertaining, but it might be slightly off -- since it turns out Lupita attended the VF bash in a different gown ... a slinky gold number. 

Who knows? Maybe this one was really blue and black.

DJ Khaled -- All He Does Is Stiff ... Sued By Jeweler

DJ Khaled was slapped with a lawsuit by a NY jeweler who says the rapper ordered a ton of bling, but refused to pay for a thing -- and is now more than $100,000 in the red.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Khaled got 2 Rolex watches, a custom made diamond chain, a pair of diamond earrings, and a 4 carat diamond ring from Rafaello & Company in 2012.

R&C says it had a written agreement with Khaled that gave him 15 days to check out any jewelry the company sent him. The deal was ... if he liked the goods, he would pay -- and if not, send 'em back.

But in the lawsuit, R&C says Khaled did neither -- keeping the watches, chain, earrings and ring ... and never paid a dime for them when he was billed. 

We reached out to Khaled's rep, and so far no word back -- but as his biggest hit says ... "Got money on my mind, I can't never get enough."

NeNe Leakes -- Hey 'Fashion Police' ... I'm The Next Joan Rivers

NeNe was leaving Mr. Chow in Bev Hills Monday night when she pitched herself to our photog, explaining she and Joan have the same MO. 

Here's the problem.  Saying she could be the next Joan is a shot at Kathy Griffin, ?who probably has a say on who gets the open spot.

Steve Francis -- Chain Recovery Engineered By Rap God

Steve Francis doesn't just have the Sauce Twinz to thank for the return of his chain -- it was ultimately engineered by J. Prince ... one of the most powerful men in hip hop, TMZ Sports has learned. 

We broke the story ... the NBA legend was chain snatched by some dumbass at a Sauce Twinz concert in Houston last weekend. 

Now, we've learned ... Francis has some powerful friends in Houston -- including Prince, who not only runs Rap-A-Lot Records, but is known in the rap community as a guy you just don't mess with. 

Also, the Sauce Twinz are managed by YEMG ... the management group owned by Prince's son, Jas. 

Sources connected to Prince tell us once he learned the chain went missing ... he put out word, "The chain must be returned."

That's when the Twinz and their pals went into "super recovery mode" to track down the culprit. 

And surprise surprise, the chain turned up a short time later ... and will be reunited with Francis. 

BTW -- you may remember J. Prince as the guy who issued a "courtesy call" to all of Drake's enemies including Diddy and Suge Knight ... warning them to back off Drizzy, another Prince associate. 

Bottom line -- it's good to know J. Prince.

Coco says she intends for her XXX gear to be worn out in public ... not just in the bedroom. Based on this video, we suggest you DON'T follow her advice -- but God bless anyone who does.

It's no easy trick assembling a fitting soundtrack for the film adaptation of an edgy and steamy story like Fifty Shades of Grey. But this album pulls it off perfectly by mixing new and old pop favorites. Frank Sinatra's sultry, swinging "Witchcraft" and The Rolling Stones' rough-and-tumble "Beast of Burden" suit the theme of obsession just as well as the slow-burning soulfulness of The Weeknd's "Earned It" and the widescreen pop of Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do.” The album’s most exciting original is Beyoncé's newly minted version of the 2003 blockbuster "Crazy in Love."

by lakewood7317 The story is actually not abusive, it's consensual and I for one look forward to how all of the songs that were not mentioned in the book are tied into the movie. Both characters are awakened Ana sexually and Christian emotionally. The songs two songs so far show that. There's also Beyoncé. One can never go wrong with Beyoncé.

by PurpleOxycodone I just wanted crazy in love yall know exactly what you were doing nobody wants any of those songs except that one

by Kayla cheyenne Don't get me wrong I LOVE the album and all the artist.. It's just I had imagined one particular artist on that track. And that would be Florence and the Machine. Other then that complaint, very good album.

Globalization joins Global Warming and Planet Pit in Pitbull's discography, because the self-proclaimed "Mr. Worldwide" is just that: a multimillion-selling international phenom. On his eighth studio effort, his indomitable moxie is reunited with super-producers like Dr. Luke and Max Martin, and the energy never dies. "Fireball" unapologetically winks at "Tequila" with its hook, "Day Drinking" splits the difference between reggae and country, and "Celebrate" samples Rare Earth's "I Just Want to Celebrate," which might as well be the Cuban-American's motto. The 2014 World Cup anthem "We Are One (Ole Ola)" rounds out the proceedings.

When the Southern-flavored party rap called crunk took over urban radio in 2004, Miami rapper Pitbull decided it was time to seek stardom. The way Pitbull saw it, "crunk ain't nothin' but bass music slowed down." Miami bass music, that is, the kind Pitbull grew up on. His parents were first-generation Cuban immigrants who didn't let their son forget about his culture. They required him to memorize the works of Cuban poet José Martí, and Pitbull understood the power of words right away. Southern acts... Full Bio

iTunes for Mac + PC Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music.

Filled with haunting melodies and bluesy guitars, Hozier's self-titled debut is a spine-tingling tour of soulful rock ’n’ roll. The Irish singer/songwriter sets the stage with "Take Me to Church,” where a lover’s lament unfolds with a dose of gothic drama. As the unforgettable album rages on, Hozier’s openhearted storytelling is paired with dusky, understated soul (“Someone New”), explosive blues-rock (“Jackie and Wilson”), and shadowy love ballads (“In a Week”).

by A2Townie Hozier deftly draws from blues, folk and soul to create an album that is mesmerizing, deeply satisfying and completely unique. Recorded almost entirely in the quiet space of his attic in Wicklow, the album has the feel of the listener being invited in to witness and experience a young man's coming of age. Each track demonstrates an emotional maturity in the arrangement, vocals and lyrics that is very rarely seen in a debut album. Timeless and hauntingly beautiful, this is a once in a generation album on par with Carol King's Tapestry or Elton John's Tumbleweed Collection.

by Claybonsipharo The man has a voice of solid gold. Pretty good content and excellent lyrical skill. I feel like this guy could really blow up. Either way the music is excellent.
