It was an especially star-studded night on Wednesday in the Big Apple, as celebs infested New York in advance of tonight's MTV Video Music Awards.
Our first stop was the gala opening of Rocpopshop, the Midtown Manhattan retail outlet of one of rap's true moguls -- Jay-Z -- where we ran into the proprietor himself. The self-proclaimed "CEO of Hip-Hop" arrived in true blinged-out fashion and stopped by the red carpet for the paparazzi, while showing off his fashion line.
From there we were off to another VMA-eve soiree at the swank Bryant Park Hotel thrown by Nick Lachey. The former boy-bander showed in the same car with rumored girlfriend and "TRL" eye candy Vanessa Minnillo but the two were careful not to walk the red carpet together. Vanessa waited in the car until Nick was done gladhanding and posing, and then traipsed down the red carpet herself. Why these two are even bothering with the coy cloak-and-dagger act is beyond us.
Our last stop was the biggest one of the night, at new NoHo hotspot Chinatown Brasserie. Thrown by Grammy-winning producer Pharrell Williams, the bash's guest list was absolutely crammed with stars, like the Dogg Father (Snoop Dogg) himself, Ciara, Cee-Lo (one-half of Gnarls Barkley), the brothers Wayans, a very bitter Ed Lover, hip-hop legend Common, and -- well what would a party be without them? -- the Hilton clan, which included, as ever, producer Scott Storch and supporting actor Brandon Davis.
All this and much much more in this VMA party packed Star Catcher.

why concentrate only on the one or two black people with what you call bling. did you notice how beautiful ciara and amerie were. i am sure you did and cannot understand why these beautiful black women turn you on so much. Oh, by the way we don't name our kids lequisha anymore we name them chris.
#15 Once I got the $$$ I would become educated, & stop singing rap.
There's nothing wrong with exploiting woman, degrading your race, and spewing hatred, as long as it makes me money. I gots to get paid! I listen to rap, but will never buy it. To me, it's just a musical comedy, very funny. I do feel sorry for the suckers who buy it, Ha! Ha!
Hey "I Hate Stupid People".
You'll enjoy the real kathryn bashing going on with another thread on TMZ. Go read the comments on the CNN Bathroom Anchor Is a Good Sportâ Some dude put her in her place and sha had no come back cause none of her bubbas were there to help her. Boo Hoo.

Joe, you are oh so very smart. what color is your skin? is it white, pink, tan, yellow, brown, black???
Chris, continue what you call f****** but most people call masturbation.
Hey chris i looked up "guseeing" in the dictionary and didn't come up with anything. Could you help me out with that one?
I definitely agree with the big lip comment. Jesus, look at the photo! It looks like she crazy glued her upper lip to her nose! I guess that's why she need those over-sized sunglasses, in order to keep the glare off her eyes!
Call the POLICE!!!!
Those giant lips just swallowed that poor girl!!
No matter how hard yall hate, most white people WISH they were black!
Yall can't understand how we take so much of your shit, and still rise.
The fact is, the white male is a pathetic form of a human being; weak in ALL aspects. But what really gets under yo cracka azz skin is that your women can't get enough of our..........
But go to bed wit this Bubba,,, it takes 2 people from the same race to produce kin of the same, but it only takes a drop of "African" blood to cleanse to gene pool. At the rate we bang your girls, yall will be extinct in 75 years!!!
The VMAs just bombed this year for some reason. Just awkward and stupid.

"stop crying racist and stop naming your kids lequisha and try to be protective members of society"
Yes, by all means, Black people should follow the lead of the briliant and articulate Chris in an effort to improve their lives. And by the way, moron, the word is PRODUCTIVE, not "protective". Nothing like thoroughly revealing your own ignorance in your pathetic attempt to put down an entire race. I simply LOVE it when stupid people reveal their 4th grade educations. After all, failure to achieve is at the heart of most racism. I'll let you go now, since I'm certain you have an order of fries to bag.
