Looks like Nick Cannon’s ex, Selita Ebanks, isn’t crying tears over Nick’s marriage to Mariah Carey. The Victoria’s Secret supermodel recently hooked up with Kanye West at NYC hotspot Tenjune!!

They were spotted trying to sneak out together late that night after dining upstairs. They looked “cozy” when they left, according to a spywitness outside. “They were trying to be inconspicuous, but they were smiling and walking real close, and they hopped in a waiting car together laughing and took off.”

Cute couple, but we have a feeling Miss Ebanks would be willing to date any rapper who has a smile on his face and a black American Express in his wallet.

In what was without a doubt the best performance of the night, Kanye West lit up the 50th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night with a future-shock show that was part trademark showboating and part humble tribute to his mother.

Rocking a jacket with flashing LED lights and light-up shades, Kanye electrified the audience with a powerful performance of Stronger.

After that, it was time for Kanye to honour his late mother, Dr. Donda West, as only he can. With his voice cracking with emotion, he crooned the lines, “Last night I saw you in my dreams/ Now I can’t wait to go to sleep.”

Kanye had also shaved the word “mama” into the hair on the back of his head as an homage to the woman who is his inspiration.

Truly amazing!

“I’m just going to go and get married — I’m not going to make a big deal out of it. It’s not to prove anything to anyone — it’s for me, for stability in my life, and I’m so happy that I found someone that I really love, that challenges me, that keeps my life interesting, that’s just as crazy as I am.”

Kanye West is parlaying his gift for words into a new book.

The ‘Stronger’ rapper is promising to debut his first literary masterpiece early next year with ‘Thank You and You’re Welcome.’

According to his blog the book is an “entertaining volume of ‘Kanye-isms’ — the creative, humorous and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating my path to success. It captures the same wit, playful irony and piercing insight found abundant in my lyrics.”

Pre-orders are currently being taken. Cost: $10.

Any takers? Anyone….?

As Fashion Week takes over Paris, so do a bevy of stylish stars who flew across the pond to check out Karl Lagerfeld’s latest designs for the Chanel show.

Former train wreck Courtney Love looked nearly unrecognizable (that’s a good thing) as she made her way to the historic Grand Palais on Friday.

Looking (dare I say?) pretty in red, snaggle-toothed actress Kirsten Dunst managed to put down her signature brewskie and token cigarette for long enough to catch the big the show.

British songbird Lily Allen was on hand to provide some much needed class and elegance.

Proving that fashion risks sometimes end up in disaster, rapper Kanye West showed up rocking a bow tie. It couldn’t have been any Wronger.

And finally, a lesson to all you stars out there — never, under any circumstance, stand next to a supermodel. Otherwise, this will be the result. ‘Nuff said.

KANYE IS UP TO HIS LATEST STUNT

Tantrum-throwing rapper Kanye West has reportedly been canceling performances aimed to help increase sales of his new album.

According to the New York Post, West bailed on a ‘Today’ show concert last week and opted out of doing ‘TRL’ and ‘The Late Show’ this week.

We also heard he was thinking of backing out of “Ellen,” and might not do “Saturday Night Live” at the end of October. “Kanye knows he is winning the album battle with 50 Cent and is so high on his horse that he can’t even bother promot ing his album,” sniffed one spy.

But worry not, Kanye fans. E! reports that the egomaniacal entertainer is prepping a number with Rainn Wilson of ‘The Office’ fame for the Emmys on Sunday night.

As for his marketing battle against 50 Cent? Early signs say Kanye is outselling Fiddy in their battle of the new albums.

I guess retirement is going to be coming a whole lot sooner than expected for one of these two boastful rappers.

However, E! reports that he may be prepping a number with none other than Rainn Wilson for the Emmys on Sunday night.
