As we found out yesterday, Lamar Odom is not missing. He is getting help for an unspecified drug problem & will reportedly release a statement about the situation soon. Well he’s finally been spotted for the first time in several days and he’s looking thin. While yes, it could be from drugs – it could also be from A LOT of stress. Report & photos after the jump…

The entire VMA Weekend in New York City was insane, but nothing was as crazy as the official after-parties! I was fortunate enough to be able to see it all firsthand, and Jay Z and Diddy’s rooftop party at The Dream Hotel was INSANE! It was a who’s who in there of the biggest names in music and entertainment from Diddy, Hov, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel, Cassie, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Macklemore, Kevin Hart, Memphis Bleek, Rihanna, Drake, J. Cole…the list goes on! Now the major question of the night is the interaction between Rihanna and Drake. At first the pair were at tables next to each other, but they themselves weren’t actually interacting. Rihanna took it outside to the patio after a while, with Drizzy staying inside at the table. As the lights came on and everyone filtered out, both parties were still there, but on totally opposite sides of the room. Not sure if that was to fake everyone out and they’d eventually link up after, but that’s what I saw. Check out some photos from the night in the gallery! Good times!

The VMAs were really pop-driven last night, weren’t they? I was pretty disappointed in the lack of camera time some of our favorite hip-hop artists got, or the lack of their presence completely! Skipping the show all together, Nelly, Jim Jones, Pusha T and Tiara Thomas all took their talents down to South Beach, and were spotted partying the night away at popular hot-spot, Bamboo. Check out some pics from the night in the gallery.
(Photos) Chris Brown & Karrueche Get Close In Hawaii
One year ago, Rihanna and Chris Brown kissed in the audience at the VMAs, leaving many to wonder what the status of his relationship with Karrueche Tran would then be. Only a couple of months after, they officially broke it off, and the rollercoaster love-triangle between Breezy, Rih Rih and Kae began. Fast forward to now, and while the rest of the world (including Rihanna) was either tuned in to or attending the 2013 Video Music Awards, Chris and Karrueche were off in Hawaii enjoying the scenery. It appears the happy couple are there for Chris to direct a music video, judging by his “Video shoot tomorrow!!! Epic!!!!” and “Director grind……” tweets. A little R&R is definitely what Chris needs (have you seen his rants lately? Sheesh!), so hopefully they can find time to mix business and pleasure on this trip!
(Photos + Video) YMCMB Honors Drake At Private Dinner
Following Drake’s performance at the 2013 VMA’s last night, the YMCMB team gathered in a private room at Philippe Chow in midtown Manhattan to celebrate the forthcoming release of his third studio album, Nothing Was The Same. Almost a full repeat of the night before (when the guys bought out the entire restaurant for a private dinner,) tons of people came through to show Drake love…or just happened to be in the restaurant so they slid through anyway. Birdman, Slim, DJ Khaled, Ace Hood, Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana, Juelz Santana, Kimbella, Selena Gomez (she didn’t come say hi to Drake, LOL), The Weeknd, Mack Maine, Meek Mill, Caskey and Busta Rhymes were all in the building, and I’m sure I’m even missing some names. Drake gave a speech about how he is so glad he never went anywhere else but YMCMB, but it does stick out to me that Nicki Minaj wasn’t in attendance. Lil Wayne wasn’t either, but that’s simply because he wasn’t in town. Hmm! Check out some pics from the night in the gallery and a funny video of producer Detail showing Drake his “dance” to his new single below.
