BOOTYLICIOUS Kim Kardashian has a new man. The beauty has been out on the town with hunky actor Terrence Howard, who is separated from his wife of 14 years. A spy spotted the star of the new E! reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," arriving and "making out" with Howard at Tenjune and then Butter last week. "They were all over each other," snitched the onlooker. "She was sitting on his lap and he was rubbing her butt." A rep for Howard declined to comment.

I'm desperately trying not to mention the baby wipes, but come on! Celibate Terrence and Sex-tape Kim? And his hands are on her butt? It's like, sometimes this stuff just writes itself.

Kim Kardashian is the first non-black woman to appear on the cover of King, a milestone the lad mag heralds with the enthusastic cover line, "Breakin' the Color Barrier!"

I commend King and Kim for their bravery. This is truly a great move for race relations. Kim Kardashian's like a modern-day Althea Gibson.

Project Red — you know, that well-meaning AIDS-in-Africa charity that made less money than its marketing campaign cost — had an event last night, and let's just say we've come a long way from fabulous celebs shilling (RED) GAP T-shirts. If the lack of serious star power at last night's Inspi(RED) event is any indication, the campaign is even less successful than we thought.

Kim Kardashian had to know when she posed for this picture at the ESPY Awards gifting suite that bloggers the world over would have groupie jokes. I'm going to be the better person and leave that alone, but she should really put down the football next time. Check out more pics of swag-loving sports celebs, including one of Mike Tyson looking at Denyce Lawton like he really wants to fornicate, after the jump.

At Atlantic Records 60th Anniversary Party, TI apologizes to Kevin Liles yet again for letting his other personality, TIP, ruin Liles' charity brunch last weekend. This is a guy who really knows how to take responsibility for his actions! More pics from the party after the jump.

With all the black music stars in Los Angeles for tomorrow's BET awards, the parties, gifting suites, rehearsals, profoundly ridiculous fashion choices (ahem, Luda), and ill-timed brawls (ahem, T.I.) abounded. Check out more pics from the weekend's BET-inspired events after the jump.

Jennifer Lopez might have run into the mother of her old flame at Monkey Bar in NYC last night, but I'm sure all were distracted by the diamonds in Lorraine Schwartz's new Monkey Collection. Well, the diamonds and the monkeys. An eclectic group of people came out to support the jewelry launch, from DJ Clue to Tina Knowles. Check out more pics after the jump.

As I informed you earlier, today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia, which officially legalized interracial unions. A group of overly sentimental people have dubbed this day Loving Day, during which we are all supposed to celebrate our legal right to love and marry whoever we want (as long as they're of the opposite sex). Here is a smattering of some famous interracial couples, starting with two of my favorites, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.
