NO PINK TUTUS FOR NORTH WEST

North West is not even two years old and she’s already taking tap and ballet classes. Kim picked up her daughter after class and we’re betting Nori was the only student dressed all in BLACK! It’s her father Kanye’s favorite color. Imagine that – a black tutu! Nori also has a black leather motorcycle jacket like her mom’s, that Kim is carrying. We wonder if she’ll rebel when she gets a bit older and insist on PINK like the other little girls wear.

PRINCE HAS HIS EYE ON BALLERINA MISTY COPELAND

Prince has become smitten with the talents of American Ballet Theater’s rare black soloist Misty Copeland and he wants her to perform with him as often as possible. It all started last year when he selected the exquisite ballerina to dance in his “Crimson and Clover” video (above.) She did, and now he’s coaxed her into performing live with him at concerts at Madison Square Garden and other east coast venues. Misty, 28, is flattered, but does she know this is how Prince, 52, recruits girlfriends? Usually he promotes his girlfriends careers, but Misty doesn’t need any help – she’s extremely successful. Prince’s present girlfriend and protege, Bria Valente (AKA Brenda Fuentes) should consider herself warned. (Personally, we find the video too psychedelic and it doesn’t do Misty justice.)
