Ray J has broken his silence on Whitney Houston's death, saying, "Over the past few days, I've tried to process the emptiness that I am experiencing. What my heart feels cannot be expressed in words. The world lost an icon, but I lost my close friend."
Ray J continues, "Nippy, I miss you so much!" Nippy was a nickname Whitney's dad gave her.
And Ray J adds, "You were so happy and full of love. Your smile will live in my heart forever."
Ray J was dating Whitney in the months before she died.

594'Hangover' Star Ken Jeong -- A Question of Racism | TMZ.com
"Hangover" actor Ken Jeong was asked if he could kick Kim Jong-il's ass in a street fight -- so, is the question racist? And it has nothing to do with them both being Korean. Okay, maybe a little.

Jon Bon Jovi
Living, breathing rocker and New Year's Eve star Jon Bon Jovi showed off his physique on a family Christmas vacation, while reading Bill Clinton's latest book. Nice.
As you can see, the Internet hoax that proclaimed Jon Bon Jovi dead earlier this month was B.S. - helpfully cleared up by the singer himself - and thank goodness.
What kind of person actually starts a Twitter hoax to kill off Bon Jovi, you ask? Well, we now know, as the person responsible for starting the rumor confessed!
Pennsylvania musician Jeffrey Goho told the Asbury Park Press (N.J.) he started up the fake Twitter account in mid-December with the intention of offing Jon Bon.
He reported that the "Wanted Dead or Alive" singer passed away on tour in his native New Jersey. Since then, "I've gotten a lot of backlash from it," he says.
Stunning news right there. Goho recalls how it got started:
"All I heard was 'Bon Jovi this,' 'Bon Jovi starting a restaurant.' The Advil commercial. It was like, 'Jeez, (Bon Jovi) was a household name due to music, not business."
"Long story short, [my band and I] got so worked up in the conversation, I just kind of took the liberty and started (the rumor), because I was so irritated."
Makes sense. Totally worth fake killing someone over.
Goho, 30, said that within 24 hours his account was “slammed” with hate mail. “I'm not proud of this,’’ he said, but denies he had any self-promoting motive.
“No, no, no, I didn’t do this as a business endeavor. As stupid as it sounds, I was just irritated. It was wrong to do and I almost kind of hurt myself.”
“Ultimately the more thought that I gave to it, I realized that all his endeavors, his business endeavors, have actually made the tri-state area prosper, hence more musicians have more available places to go, more people to play to, and I was quite wrong.”
Hey, at least he can admit it. Lesson learned to all bored Twitter users: Do not start rumors that rock stars are dead just because they endorse products.

Khloe & Lamar: Renewed for Seasons Two and Three!
Oh, thank goodness. We'll be able to watch Khloe Kardashian talk about having children for at least two more seasons on E!.
Sources tell Rumor Fix that the network has picked up Khloe & Lamar - the reality show that focuses on the one Kardashian sister with a personality and her Los Angeles Lakers power forward of a husband - for seasons two and three.
“Khloe is super excited to begin filming again," an insider says. "She wasn’t happy with the way some of the things turned out on last season and wants to make changes for the better for the second season."
What might that mean? Sources say season three might be filmed in Europe. With that in mind, allow us to say preemptively: we're really sorry, Europe.

Kim Kardashian Wedding Special: Coming to E!
You may have seen the invitation, but, sorry folks, none of you are invited to Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' August 20 wedding ceremony.
However, the entire viewing world is welcome to tune in a couple months later and watch every detail unfold on Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, the two-night program that will air on E! on October 9 and 10.
Seriously, even this reality star's specials have boring titles.
Earlier this week, Kardashian announced that Vera Wang would be designing her dress, blogging:
"Vera has been a close family friend for a long time and we had talked about this moment for years. So when it came to picking my wedding dress designer, she was the first person I thought of. No one designs gowns the way she does!"
And no one exploits the ignorance of young fans or the concept of love like Kim does. It's a perfect match!

Levi Johnston
"Levi Johnston is to Sarah Palin what voicemail is to Mel Gibson." - Jimmy Kimmel
Having recently announced his bid for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, his hometown of 11,000 people, 20-year-old Levi Johnston is making the media rounds.
On Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the newly-minted political candidate was showered with praise - not to mention a collection of great campaign gear.
Kimmel showcased a blue baseball cap saying "The Thrilla from Wasilla" along with a red, white and blue pin with "Wassup Wasilla?" emblazoned on it.
A bumper sticker read "Elect me Mayor or I'll Date all Your Daughters" and a yard sign proclaimed: "Levi for Mayor – I'll Do the Job Naked." Hilarious.
Kimmel did offer some cautionary words to the boy who would be mayor.
"Listen, when you're mayor, there are gonna be debates," Jimmy said. "There are gonna potentially be shootings when Sarah finds out ... it's gonna be really bad!"
But Kimmel said he'd love a spot on the campaign team of Johnston, saying "The one thing I want to congratulate you on is ... the torment that you've caused."
It is quite an accomplishment. "So whaddya think? Can I be part of the team?" Kimmel asked. "I think I might make you campaign manager," Johnston replied.
As for potential votes from the family of two-time ex-fiancee Bristol Palin, he's not counting on them. In fact, he says he'd be shown the door in two seconds.
After his latest breakup with Bristol, he says, "I think they kinda kicked me out now … permanently." Hey, at least some Alaskans aren't fans of Sarah, either.
Follow the jump for Levi's interview with Jimmy ...
