Only the hottest shoes for Chris Brown!
Last night, Breezy attended and performed at the 2015 BET Awards. After the star-studded event (which included a guest list that boasted his former flames Rihanna and Karrueche Tran), the 26-year-old eventually showed up to chaos of BET Awards' after party at the Playhouse in Hollywood, rocking the hardest-to-get sneakers in the world, the Yeezy Boost 350 by Adidas.
On Saturday, the highly anticipated sneakers, designed by Kanye West, hit stores in Canada and Europe and were out of stock in barely an hour. In the US the shoes were available for a mere 12 minutes before selling out. Looks like it's good to know Yeezy!
In addition to the highly coveted kicks, Brown wore a Letterman jacket, jean shorts and a baseball cap. So casual for this year's big soiree!
At last year's BET after party, Brown had to be carried out of the Playhouse by a few friends as he couldn't walk on his own. He was then driven home by on-again girlfriend Karrauche Tran. He may not have gone home with Karrueche this year, but at least he was still standing!

The BET Awards were last night, and not surprisingly, Beyonce nabbed a number of trophies, along with the stars of Empire. But who cares about the winners when there was all sorts of awesome drama!
1. Rihanna Threw A Wad Of Cash At BET Exec Stephen Hill ... And Duct Taped Floyd Mayweather's Mouth Shut!
Beyonce may have won all the awards, but Rihanna was the queen bee of the BET Awards -- as evident from the fact that she threw a stack of money at BET programming prez Stephen Hill right before she walked onstage to present one of the final awards of the night. Of course, the duo's argument was totally staged, and Stephen later joked on Instagram that they "kissed and made up." Still, we love the drama!
Earlier in the evening Bad Gal RiRi did something that many folks have probably wanted to do over the years -- she duct taped boxer Floyd Mayweather's mouth shut!

2. Amber Rose And Blac Chyna Went As Each Other's Dates

That's one way to get our attention! And even though Amber and Blac have a history of being drama queens, we love the message they're sending.
"Chyna @blacchyna and I went to the BET awards as each other's Date to celebrate Marriage Equality #LoveWins," Amber wrote on Instagram. "#LoveWins it’s truly amazing to think about all of the changes we’re able to see during our generation. When our children are grown they probably won’t even believe that once upon a time Gays and Lesbians were unable to get married. It’s like how we feel about women not being able to vote or the fact that slavery actually happened here in America smh. This is a great day for us as people! There’s no downgrades or upgrades it’s all about."
We don't need to say much about this, but we WILL watch this Vine probably at least twenty times today. It's that good.
4. Janet Jackson Won The Ultimate Icon Award

Janet Jackson received the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award on Sunday night, and she was serenaded by a handful of stars before she went onstage to accept her award. Tinashe opened the set, with Jason Derulo taking over and singing a rendition of Janet's "All for You," and Ciara closed out the show and performed “Rhythm Nation."
“It’s been a very long journey to this moment,†Jackson told the crowd when she accepted her award. “My heart is so full. Thank you, God, for making everything possible. I’m so grateful for the support you’ve always given me, to my beautiful mother and beautiful father, and to my entire family. Your love is unbreakable. Many thanks to Jimmy and Terry for our incredible history and to everyone who performed in the tribute tonight. Twenty five years ago, we created Rhythm Nation hoping the world would be a better place, but today there is even more to be done. Last but not least to my loving husband and to all the fans, I’ve missed you so much and I love you so much. Thank you! Thank you, BET."
5. Laverne Cox Turned Heads In A Sexy Jumpsuit ... And Then Wears The Same Dress As Gabrielle Union!

Caitlyn Jenner better watch her back, because last night Laverne reminded us all that she's the hottest transgender star in Hollywood! The 31-year-old Orange Is The New Black actress worked it on the red carpet in a sexy blue jumpsuit, but that wasn't the only time she stole the show!
Later in the evening Laverne was joined onstage by Gabrielle Union to present the Best Actor Award, and both of them were wearing the exact same white cut-out Halston Heritage gown! Obviously this was planned, but we really got a laugh out of it:

Transgender star Caitlyn Jenner made her first public appearance at the Voss Events’ annual Pride Party at PH-D Rooftop Lounge in New York’s Dream Downtown Hotel on Sunday. Now THAT'S a celebration!
Jenner was joined by camera crews as she was filming an episode of her new reality show I Am Cait, and not only did she take a number of selfies at the event, but when Candis Cayne performed, the ladies went wild. The duo danced and Candis then dedicated the song "I'm Every Woman" to Cait. Later in the evening Jenner showered Cayne with cash while everyone was dancing, and based on the Instagram pics and videos we've seen, the transgender reality star had a blast. Girlfriend really knows how to party!
The crowd went wild, and we have to say, we love the fact that Cait's nails match her iPhone case! It's just too perfect...

Tyga and his underage girlfriend were already on everyone's radar because of their age difference (he's 25 and has a kid with ex Blac Chyna; she's 17 and still IS a kid), so when he got into a bar brawl the other night, the news spread like wildfire. The duo arrived back in Los Angeles last night (in matching Adidas Yeezy Boost sneakers, natch), and they didn't seem at all fazed by the attention they've received over the last few days. We're thinking maybe they even love it?
In case you missed it, Tyga performed at club Envogue Geneve in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday night, and after practically bailing on his set (he was supposed to perform for an hour and only rapped for about ten minutes), the owner ran out of the club and started yelling for Tyga. Kylie and Tyga were both in their car ready to leave, but Tyga jumped out of the vehicle, only to sneak back inside after someone in the owner's posse flashed a gun.
And Tyga still maintains that he's the victim here! "Sum Club owners just think they own u just Kuz they pay u to come to they lil club for a hr," he tweeted. "I ain't nobody slave. Don't harrass me and my people when we tryna chill n sh*t. Every since I came in the game in 2008 people tried to tarnish my brand.mislead who I am."
Well, now that he's back in LA, he'll have plenty of time to chill n sh*t with his underage lady love!

This is perfect!
Over the weekend Kanye West performed at the Glastonbury festival in the U.K., and the rapper lost his cool and demanded that he get a re-do on his set after comedian Lee Nelson crashed the stage.
Kanye was in the middle of performing "Black Skinhead" when he was interrupted, and though Nelson was quickly removed by security, Kanye demanded a "start over" after the incident. And that wasn't the only snafu during the show! Later in the evening Yeezy stopped the opening to "Touch the Sky," saying “that’s not what we rehearsed in the dressing room.†He then walked off the stage, only to appear a few minutes later on a platform above the crowd.
Kanye closed out his 90-minute set, but not before telling the crowd, "You are now watching the greatest living rock star on the planet." Funny, because we think a top-notch entertainer would be able to roll with it and not get frazzled by an interruption. But maybe it's time Kanye got a taste of his own medicine? After famously snatching the microphone from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, Kanye did the same thing to Beck at this year's Grammy's. Rude!
For his part, Nelson tweeted, "Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand," and he also added the image below:

We've always thought Reese Witherspoon's 15-year-old daughter Ava resembled the Oscar-winning actress, and when the two wear matching outfits, it's almost impossible to tell them apart!
Over the weekend Reese stepped out with her two oldest kids, and the trio grabbed some beverages and fro yo at Starbucks and Menchie's. Even though Reese forgot to zip up her jeans, she was in a good mood -- she flashed us her fly and her million dollar smile!

They may have been missing Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, but Kourney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner still threw their sister Khloe one heck of a 31st birthday bash!
Rather than renting out a club, the group went to Pinz Bowling in Studio City on Saturday night, and even though Khloe's boobs were practically hanging out of her top, it was a relatively tame night. In fact, Kourt brought her five-year-old son Mason along for the fun and games!
“A little birthday bowling with my faves. 🎳,†Khloe captioned her Instagram photo. Of course, Kylie posted the shot above and practically cropped her sister out! Talk about pulling a Kim K...
Kylie may be a little self-centered when it comes to her pics, but she definitely went all out with the cake she bought her big sis:

Not only would we cry, but we'd likely pee in our pants if this happened!
Paris Hilton recently appeared on the Egyptian TV show Ramez Wakel Elgaw (aka Ramez in Control) the starlet was the victim of a cruel prank in which host Ramez Galal tricked her into thinking that her plane was about to crash.
Hilton was in Dubai for the opening of a new hotel, and she's then asked if she wants 15-minute aerial tour of the city with Galal and a handful of other passengers. Everything seems fine at first, but after a few minutes the pilot begins doing stunts that make it seem like the plane is about to crash.
Not only is poor Paris screaming and crying, but at one point during the terrifying clip, a passenger opens up the side door on the plane and pushes a man out! We can't imagine that this is safe -- and Paris definitely didn't seem to be in on the joke.
"I almost thought I was going to die," she later said in between tears. "That's been my biggest fear my whole life, dying in a plane." Not cool.
