Celebrities Who Give Out Their Cellphone Numbers

Ryan’s # can be found on his MySpace, as well as various men’s bathroom walls across the Village.

Desperate times call for desperate measures: The music industry is still floundering, so artists gotta do what they can to make a buck. Enter SayNow, a service that allows fans to dial up their favorite celebrities. Each of SayNow’s nearly 300 artists—from big shots like 50 Cent to small fries like Young Twinn—have offered their cellphone numbers for Stans to call and leave messages. Apparently, the stars themselves will sometimes call back to leave messages of their own.

This concept was somewhat interesting when Mike Jones (remember him?) originated it, but now that pretty much anybody is offering their digits, the novelty is officially dead. Plus, you’ll have better luck finding a virgin in Hef’s mansion than someone over 13 who believes these artists are actually listening to these calls. But eff it, what if we really could just ring up our favorite celebs? See below to hear a sampling of phone greetings from celebs, and the messages we’d leave them…

The gossip about her being Diddy’s “Official Girl” hasn’t been confirmed, so for the next two months, Cassie and Complex will be considered the new power couple.

Your Monday just got a lot better.

Diddy’s Dilemma: Cassie Vs. Kim Porter

Forget what Prison Guard Ross said: Around these parts, Sean “Diddy” Combs is the biggest boss we’ve seen thus far. And (unless you count Sienna Miller) he doesn’t even sling that white! Diddy gets props for his business endeavors, but let’s not overlook his stable of women.

Although he’s been in a decade-long relationship with the ultimate ride-or-die chick—ex-model and mother of three of his children, Kim Porter—Diddy’s been known to flagrantly dip off with shorties whenever he pleased. Rumors have been flying for months that Diddy was spending a little too much time with Cassie, his label’s young diva. The latest gossip is that Puff got on bended knee to make the 21-year-old his official girl—for real for real. If this is true, then Kim will once again be left out in the cold. Is Diddy really making the right choice? After the jump, we pit the two ladies head-to-head and weigh in on Diddy’s decision.

Get Ready For Amerie’s Def Jam Comeback

Before Cassie, there was Amerie. You know, the other racially ambiguous model-turned-pop star who turned a million heads. We always had love for the Black/Korean cup of brown sugar, but her old label Columbia dropped her last year after deciding not to release her third album in the US. But now, it seems like she has another shot at success.

Rumors have been circulating for months about the the singer landing a new deal. Well, we just confirmed with sources at the label that Amerie has officially signed to Def Jam. Somebody get Dream and Tricky on the line! In case you need a refresher course on how fine this woman is, we’ve compiled her greatest hits after the jump…

Which BET Awards Woman Looked The Best?

Wayne and Kanye definitely dominated last night’s BET Awards, but we really had a hard time paying attention to all that rap shit. With some of the finest women in the entertainment industry strutting their carefully manicured stuff, how could we focus on anything else?

Consistent hotties like Alicia Keys, Cassie, Ciara and Rihanna all had typically strong showings, but a new batch of starlets like Lauren London, and Angel Love also made their bids for the belt. After the jump, see pictures from the event and vote on who was the evening’s #1 stunner.
