Lil Wayne got paid $60,000 to make a very special appearance at Ace of Diamonds strip club after the Grammys, but he immediately spread that wealth around ... to a special lady.
Wayne strolled in and immediately got some face time with a stripper named NoForeign. They chatted at his table before she was called to the pole.
Wayne was laser-focused enjoying her performance -- then literally threw two bricks of cash worth $12,000 onstage for NoForeign and her comrade in heels, Malaaysiaaaa.
Wayne posted a hot pic of NoForeign a few weeks ago, so pretty clear Weezy was on a mission. And if $12k doesn't sound like that much ... that's a nice fat 20 percent tip off his appearance fee.

Lil Wayne got paid $60,000 to make a very special appearance at Ace of Diamonds strip club after the Grammys, but he immediately spread that wealth around ... to a special lady.
Both Adele and Lionel Richie performed at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, and both singers have iconic songs called “Hello.” Richie poked fun at the overlap a few months ago on Instagram, posting a side by side comparison pic of himself and Adele on identical old school phones. Now, he’s finally had the chance to meet the star he’s been playing phone tag with since October.
During an interview with Nancy O’Dell at the Grammys red carpet pre-show, Richie said, “I have not had a chance to meet [Adele] yet, but I’m here tonight to meet her backstage. I’m looking for her. And my opening line is going to be, ’Hello. It’s me.’ She’s going to say, ‘No, no. Is it me you’re looking for?’”
O’Dell then asked the most important question of the evening: Will Richie and Adele collaborate on a “Hello” mash-up? “We have to,” he replied. “Don’t worry—it’s coming.”
Though he’s a revered actor and activist, much of the public conversation surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio is focused on one of two things: his seemingly never-ending campaign for an Oscar and his playboy-esque dating life.
As far as that Oscar business goes, Leo’s actually making significant strides toward winning one of the little golden guys. His grueling, grunt-heavy performance in The Revenant has already earned him a Golden Globe, and he’s widely considered the frontrunner in this year’s Academy Awards race.
As for that dating thing, though… let’s just say Leo has a “type” and he sticks to it (twenty-something, drop-dead-gorgeous models, please form an orderly queue at DiCaprio’s door).
The actor’s reputation as a serial dater is the subject of a new spoof video from Mashable, which imagines the exit interview process that all of Leo’s exes have to complete before breaking off from him for good. Apparently, Leo needs feedback on his many flings, and for whatever reason, insists upon knowing if their sex life was more “Titanic, Body of Lies, Catch Me If You Can, or The Basketball Diaries.” At least The Revenant wasn’t an option?
The last two weeks have seen the major moves of Rihanna, Kanye, and Beyoncé dominate our music media. Theirs are the only stories we are all talking about, and for good reason — their artistry and industriousness heralds the shape of the future of music. Yet all of the collective noise made by music’s biggest players wasn’t heard on Monday night’s Grammys telecast.
It’s no surprise that Kanye nixed his Grammys invite, even amid all that he seeks in terms of Grammy recognition. He wants the world. How else to explain why he tweeted about wanting to be the creative director of the historic French fashion house Hermès? More than any other artist, he is in a position to survey all that the music industry can muster for an artist of his magnitude — no wonder he has set his sights elsewhere.
Taking last night’s Grammys as evidence, what unreaped riches lie ahead for Kanye West? If he enters the industry’s good graces, he might end up like Lionel Richie and see a country bro (Luke Bryant) and nouveau-retro pop star (Meghan Trainor) ruin his greatest songs with the sheer force of their impassioned mediocrity. Or witness one of the decade’s least-understood pop stars perform a sprawling tribute in the form of a hammy Vegas-grade medley. Between those performances was a parade of guitars, despite EDM and rap remaining the modes of pushing musical boundaries. Kendrick Lamar, the only evidence of either on the Grammys stage, was forced to carry that weight — a frustratingly trademark Grammys move.
Even if Kanye tweets that he wants to win a hundred Grammys, it’s clear it’s not the dubious honor he seeks — what he wants is the legacy. Kanye appears fixated on white institutions, but in America those are the markers of record that allow one a staged Grammy tribute rather than a two-second memorial compilation clip. Recorded music is the time for the season, but amid watching the Motorhead tribute–cum–Joe Perry relethon, I checked my Twitter feed just praying for more Kanye tweets. No wonder Rihanna didn’t show up; why give any more time to a business that needed to create a hashtag (#supportmusic) to prop itself up?
"How about these, to tone down a sparkly cocktail dress?"
I was trying on some orthopedic style flats with my friend Rachel as we were perusing the shoe sale in Bloomingdales. It got the laugh I hoped for. And then a question followed, one I get quite a lot:
"Susie, how are you always so happy?"
It's always a compliment when I am asked this.
The answer?
I'm human. I'm not always happy.
But I have a few tricks (after being a self-help junkie for so many years!) that I keep up my sleeve that keep me going. These tricks are what Tony Robbins refers to as being "emotionally fit" -- things I do to remain buoyant, resilient, focused on the good in my life. I remind myself everyday that my time on planet earth is limited and I want to spend it being vibrant, present and fully alive. I hope one of my tips might help you feel even a smidge the same way this week!
1. I make sure my spare time is occupied with projects I love.The underutilized mind is not a happy mind. I write almost every day and ensure that I'm always working on multiple projects that inspire and stretch me. Aside from my valued downtime and meditation, I'm a very busy person, which leaves little opportunity for rumination and overthinking.
2. I give as much as I can.It gives me a lot of joy to compliment others, make other people feel special and dial up the kindness wherever I go. Try this! It never fails to give me a boost, as we always keep what we give away.
3. I focus on and visualize what I want.My mind can easily veer into "worst-case scenario" mode unless I consciously disinvite those thoughts. I consistently remind myself why I'm doing what I'm doing and what it is I want to achieve.
Visualize what you want clearly and you'll notice an immediate shift in how you feel. Visualization also makes you incredibly creative in terms of taking action and making your dreams a reality. That is one of the reasons I love vision boards and host vision board events.
4. I ask for what I want (and don't feel guilty about getting it).Whether it's a better table at a restaurant or the rates I command for different projects, asking for what I want ensures that I feel assertive, authentic and true to myself. Silencing your desires is like taking a weakening drug. The only cure is to identify what matters to you, give yourself permission to know you deserve it and honor yourself by asking for it. I regularly ask myself, "What do I really want?" and allow my heart to lead the way.
5. I think of how happy my past self would have been to have my current life.Five or 10 years ago if someone told me that I would have the life that I enjoy now, I would have been extremely happy. I'm sure A LOT of you would feel the same way about where you are in your life. I remind myself regularly that while I'll always be working toward something new, I'm still doing OK in the present moment.
6. I consume inspirational material EVERY single day.If I miss a day, I notice it. I listen to podcasts, I read loads of books, and I make it a point to go to read inspirational articles and videos. External inspiration massively feeds internal inspiration. I can't live without it.
It's a simple list, but it works for me.
What do you do to stay happy? I'd love to hear your tips -- there might be no more important topic than this one! source:huffingtonpost
Nothing says "happy birthday" like getting your party shut down by the cops!
Last night The Weeknd not only celebrated his two wins at the Grammys, but also his 26th birthday!
That's certainly a cause to celebrate, if you ask us!
Unfortunately for The Hills singer, the party — which squeezed over 1,000 people into a Beverly Hills mansion — got a little out of hand and came to an end around 1:30 in the morning after the police were called.
According to TMZ, the singer himself was the one who had to talk to the officers about the noise complaints. (Don't celebs have assistants for stuff like that?!)
Ch-ch-check out an inside look at the rager (below)!
Ronda Rousey has admitted that she contemplated suicide after her devastating loss to Holly Holm.
Rousey, 29, addressed the loss on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today, saying that she felt like "nothing" after Holm knocked her out with a kick to the head at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia, last November.
"I was in the medical room, and I was down in the corner.... I was sitting in the corner and I was like, 'What am I anymore if I’m not this'" Rousey recalled tearfully. "I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I’m like, 'I’m nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a s*** about me anymore without this.'
Rousey said it was ultimately her boyfriend and fellow UFC star Travis Browne that gave her the will to "stay alive."
"To be honest, I looked up and I saw my man, Travis, was standing up there ... and I looked up at him and was just like, 'I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive,'" Rousey said.
"I haven't told anybody that. I only told him that. But that's what I was thinking," she continued. "I was meant to have him when I was at my lowest, for sure. I don't know if I would've made it without him."

On Tuesday, Kardashian shared a series of throwback photos that are some of the most peak Kim K pics we've ever seen. In them, Kardashian reveals the secret behind her gravity defying cleavage: Tape. Lots and lots of tape.
"I definitely had to share my tape secret with you guys!! It's my secret trick to have perfect cleavage in photos. You tape them up so they are super lifted. It takes a little work but trust me it's all worth it LOL. I've used everything from duct tape to packing tape to masking tape and I think that the best I found is gaffer's tape. It sticks the best! Make sure you don't have any lotion or oils on when you're lifting your boobs up with the tape. Just brace yourself for when it's time to take it off LOL."

Kanye West went on another epic tweeting spree today (Feb. 15), rambling about plans which include using other people’s money, letting off wild boasts and asking white publications not to “comment on Black music anymore.”
But it was a particular note about being personally rich enough to buy furs and houses that sparked the hilarious #OutBoastKanye trending topic.

What, you thought The Life Of Pablo finally being available, and only through TIDAL, forever (according to Yeezy), that the torrent of tweets would stop? Apparently these Yeezy jokes and slander isn’t stopping either.
