Two years ago Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards to complain about not getting best video. This year he was honored with the Ultimate Urban Award, so he should have been happy, right? Maybe he didn't like his accommodations this time around, because the rumor has just surfaced that he peed on his dressing room carpet instead of going to the mens room. We're thinking the unlucky UK group Ting Tings who SHARED that dressing room with Kanye, are the ones who leaked the story.

Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba has come a LONG way since she danced topless on a stripper pole in Madonna's Girlie Show concert tour. She was doing something at "E!" channel recently and she arrived with a huge entourage of hair, makeup, PR, wardrobe, and security people. (Keep in mind, "E!" already provides those services.) Carrie Ann was described as "very demanding, and not in a nice way." She and her people took over the place and ran E! staffers ragged, running and fetching for them. Her big group even spread out unapologetically into Ryan Seacrest's area and he didn't way a word. After she cleared out, E! bought all their exhausted staffers lunch as a thank you for putting up with her.

Ray J hasn't been in the news for awhile and he decided to drum up some publicity by inviting Whitney Houston to party with him at Villa. The last time Ray made PR waves was in May when TMZ revealed he was kicked out of the Hyatt Regency hotel in DC for rowdiness and having a stash of drugs. Ray blamed it on his entourage and move into a Holiday Inn. No arrest. Ray's mother Sonja Norwood is suing Kim Kardashian (Ray J's sex video partner,) claiming that Kim and her sisters charged over a hundred thousand dollars to Sonja's credit card. Sounds fishy, somehow, doesn't it? Ironically, this picture seems to show Ray eyeing an attractive girl while Whitney is clutching his waist.

It was inevitable. While Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) has been off in Europe making lots of money with her Ultimo lingerie line and other projects, her con artist husband Stephen "Belafonte" has been getting restless. Stephen and a buddy were at The Rainbow on Sunset on a recent Saturday. First Stephen asked the bartender if he got a " celebrity discount" because he was married to Mel B, but was turned down, so he had to pay full price for his steak, lobster, appetizers, and wine. Then Stephen turned his attention to the pretty women all around him. He told one "Hey, can I get your number? I'd love to call you and hook up sometime!" One suspicious girl asked "Aren't you married to a Spice Girl?" and he brushed it off with "It's okay!" He invited one busty blonde out for coffee the next day. One after another he punched numbers into his FRIEND'S phone. He laughed "I can't put it in MY phone!" He explained to one girl that his pal would act as a go-between so he could communicate with her. By the time he walked out of the club, the fake Belafonte had five or six numbers clocked into his buddy's phone. In the parking lot he was seen talking to one MORE girl and punching her number into his friend's phone. Keep your eyes open, Mel!
Our friend Nelson Aspen had an encounter with Billy Zane that was simple yet revealing. We are all familiar with those celebrities who vent their wrath on the paparazzi by giving them the middle finger. Hence their moment of vulgarity lives forever in living color. Anyway, Nelson was stopped at a red light on La Brea and all pedestrians had crossed and the light had changed to green for the cars. That's when when Billy stepped into the crosswalk against the light. He didn't scurry, in fact he sauntered, and when a car beeped to rush him along, Mr Zane sneered at the driver and flipped him the bird and walked even slower. Is it a sense of entitlement or just bad manners?
