Kanye West admits he 'fell in love' with Kim Kardashian

 Kanye West unexpectedly released a brand-new song online, "Theraflu,"and in between the 34-year-old rapper's typically over-the-top boasts and X-rated tangents, he made a surprising confession about his pal Kim Kardashian.
Looking back on his romance with ex Amber Rose, who is now engaged to Wiz Khalifa, West rapped, "Only n---- I got respect for is Wiz, And I admit I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him."

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Dating

With rumors that their relationship is just for show – and even one a few weeks ago about how the two had broken up – Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are still hitting the town, most recently photographed with Kim's family at her brother-in-law Scott Disick's new Japanese restaurant in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, named RYU.

The restaurant is a parternship between Scott Disick and nightlife impresario Chris Reda, and the whole Kardashian klan – Kourtney, Khloé, and Kendall, along with Kylie Jenner, Khloé's husband Lamar Odom, and mother Kris Jenner – showed up, according to Radar Online. And at one point in the evening, Kanye was spotted feeling Kim's leg!

So does this mean they're actually in love?

No, says Hollywood Life.

"If they are in the same area, they are going to hook up," the source told the esteemable gossip rag, Hollywood Life, about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. "But they are not going to take the relationship to the next level and become exclusive with each other."

"They are equally using each other to expand their own personal interests/brands rather than fall in love," the source concluded.

Sounds about right to us. It's been a few months since the outrage and publicity surrounding Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries, and she's just about due for another romantic entanglement!

And, it should go without saying, they do appear to be availing themselves of each other, sexually. Rumor is that two photos featured on MediaTakeOut three weeks ago were of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The first shows a mid-action shot of a man, who MediaTakeOut claims is Kanye West, engaging in sodomitical relations with a large-bottomed woman, who many are speculating is none other than Kim K. herself. The second picture is a tighter but no less graphic shot, again depicting posterior insertion.

So then what is Kim doing introducing Kanye to her parents?! The two were spotted dining with the rest of the Kardashian clan at the Spice Market, a trendy restaurant in New York's Meatpacking District.

TMZ said that "Kanye and Kim were excited for the family gathering and the opportunity to show them just how great they are together" and that "the meeting went great, and the family thinks they make the perfect couple."

And, of course, this all contradicts what MediaTakeOut reported about their supposed breakup. It claimed earlier that Kanye had broken things off when Kim tried to bring cameras along to visit him while on tour. But, then again, MediaTakeOut has never been the most reliable narrator, and the photos of Kim and Kanye at Spice Market seem like pretty good evidence that the two are still on.

News of the relationship first broke when Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving Kanye West's house in the morning in the same clothing she was wearing the previous night when she went in. That same day, Kanye released a song in which he rapped about falling for Kim while she was still dating Chris Humphries.

Kanye's song "Theraflu" included the lyrics: "And I'll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the time she had fell in love with him / Well that's cool, baby girl, do ya thang / Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team."

TMZ claimed the two had been "eyeing" each other since 2004. However, TMZ's source maintained that "they never acted inappropriately while Kanye was with Amber Rose, or while Kim was with Kris Humphries." (Ha! Yeah, right ... )

Mariah Carey Calls Wedding Vow Renewal in Paris Amazing

Almost four years after they tied the knot in the Bahamas, Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon flew to Paris by private jet to renew their wedding vows. The ceremony took place atop the Eiffel Tower on Friday, April 27 night, and the "We Belong Together" hitmaker has made use of her Twitter to share her thought. 


"Tonight was an incredible night, I can't express how amazing it was to renew our vows in Paris at the top of the Eiffel tower," so the 42-year-old singer first tweeted about the happy occasion. She was quick to add another tweet that read, "Thank you so much to all the fans who came out as always and showed their love and support. I love you!" 


Offering a little bit of details about the renewal ceremony, a representative for the "Touch My Body" singer told E! News, "Mariah and Nick renewed their vows at the summit of the Eiffel Tower in an intimate ceremony after a romantic dinner at the beautiful Jules Verne restaurant." According to the rep, the couple said their "I do" at around 12:30 A.M. local time. 

Before the ceremony, Carey and Cannon did a photo shoot with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. The picture reveals that the pop diva is wearing a white mermaid dress with spaghetti straps and a black bow at the waist. She also rocked a huge diamond necklace, while her 31-year-old husband donned a white suit and black tie. 


Carey and Cannon arrived in France at around 1 A.M. Friday. Later that afternoon, Carey tweeted a photo of them shopping at Baby Dior for their twins, who will turn 1 year old on Monday, April 30. "Shopping for Roc & Roe's bday in Paris," so she wrote in the caption. "Dembabies dembabies dembabies!" She was also spotted at the Louis Vuitton flagship store on the Champs-Elysees.

Miss Dominican Republic 2012, Carlina Duran, Will Lose Crown Because She Is Married

A queen has lost her crown. Beauty queen Miss Dominican Republic 2012 will lose her title because she is married, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday.


Carlina Duran, the 25-year-old beauty queen who was crowned Miss Dominican Republic 2012 on April 17, will lose her crown because it was discovered that she wed in 2009. Director Magaly Febles told The AP that one of the Miss Dominican Republic rules clearly states that a contestant must be single to win the title.


Febles told the Dominican television news program Noticias SIN that former Miss Dominican Republic admitted she is married after the Dominican newspaper Diario Libre reported the news, according to The AP. Duran reportedly wed on June 6, 2009.


Contest organizer scheduled a news conference for Wednesday night, according to The AP, and will hand the crown over to the 24-year-old runner-up, Duclite Lieggi.


Carlina Duran was supposed to represent her country at the annual Miss Universe contest in December, but she will no longer be eligible. She has not publicly commented on her disqualification or her elimination as of yet.


This is the second guidelines scandal to hit the beauty pageant world in recent weeks.


In early-April, Jenna Talackova was disqualified from the Miss Universe Canada pageant after it was discovered that she is transgender.

Talackova was born a male but has lived her life as a female since starting hormone therapy at the age of 14. Although she checked off "female" on her Miss


 Universe Canada registry form, the organization questioned her "natural born" sex and ultimately disqualified her from the competition.


"She did not meet the requirements to compete despite having stated otherwise on her entry form. We do, however, respect her goals, determination and wish her the best," said a statement released by the Miss Universe Canada organization, a Donald Trump-owned beauty pageant.


After a storm of controversy, Talackova was finally granted permission to compete. But her saga shined the spotlight on the glaringly outdated rules that still exist in the beauty pageant arena.


 The Miss Universe organization does not detail any "natural born" requirement in its FAQ section. It details specific age requirements (at least 18-years-old and under 27-years-old), marital status (currently single, never having been married and not pregnant) and citizenship (must be a citizen of the state/country she is competing in).    

Other beauty queens have acknowledged the need for reformation.

"I think it's outdated and I think that as a society we're evolving," Connie McNaughton, Miss World Canada 1984 and first-runner up at the contest's international event the same year, told the Canadian Press. "There are certain countries who cosmetically, surgically, have their girls go and have updates. So (how different is it) if you've augmented your gender because in your heart and soul, you believe yourself to be a woman?"


McNaughton said that pageant organizer are bound by rules handed down from the Miss Universe pageant organization. "They're stuck. I can understand how this is a nightmare for the organizers because there's always going to be someone who's unhappy," she said. "There's going to be parents of other girls who are not going to be happy if their daughters are beaten out by this person."

Carlina Duran, Miss Dominican Republic, Stripped of Crown Due to Secret Marriage

A 25-year old Dominican beauty who recently became the new Miss Dominican Republic is being dethroned, pageant officials said.
Carlina Durán, a 5-foot-11 professional model, is being stripped of her title because she’s married.
The rules state that those vying for the crown must be single. Magaly Febles, director of the Miss Dominican Republic contest, said Durán wed in 2009.
Durán said in a statement read at a Wednesday night news conference that she had never lived with her husband and the marriage was never consummated.
"In my daily life, I remained like a single woman, without thinking of myself neither materially nor spiritually married," said the statement, read by her lawyer, Radhames Cornielle.
The statement also said the marriage was brief, and the couple had begun annulment proceedings. The statement didn't specify whether the annulment was finalized.
Durán's statement called her decision to hide her marriage from the contest organizers the "fruit of my inexperience."
The stunner, who was all smiles when the jury announced her the winner last week, gave up the crown to first runner-up, 24-year-old Dulcita Lieggi, at a news conference.
The 25-year-old Durán, who owns a spa in Santo Domingo, hails from the town of La Vega, about 95 miles (150 kilometers) north of the nation's capital. She was crowned Miss Dominican Republic on April 17 and was to represent her country at the Miss Universe contest.


The Dominican newspaper Diario Libre reported on its website Tuesday that a marriage license showed she was wed on June 6, 2009.
