It is being reported that Jeniffer Lopez is given her current boytoy, and backup dancer, Casper Smart an allowance of $10,000 a week. It is being reported that JLo’s love interest is receiving this allowance with the expatiation that he will spend it on paying for dinners and gifts for Jennifer Lopez and her children. Now we can put an amount of money it would take to woo miss JLo.

At $10k/week, Casper Smart, will pocket $40k/month, more than he made as a dancer in all of 2011. If he stays with Jenifer Lopez for the whole year he will be award nearly half a million dollars, launching him into the top 1%. Which begs to question, will he get a W9 from Jenifer Lopez so that he can file his taxes? How will Jenifer Lopez expense this? This is probably more than what Jenifer Lopez spends on nanny services for her children.

If you turn this around and a man paid a retainer of $10/week to his girlfriend, is that considered prostitution? I don’t know about you, but I always thought that money can’t buy yo love.

Below are some totally haute finds for Valentine’s Day that will definitely impress your sweetie.

Pearl Necklace Restraints, $2400

French Lesson Panty Gift Set, $295

Heart Panty, $175

Michelle did not receive the most positive attention at the events following the inauguration. We will never forget that dreadful Jason Wu gown she wore at the Neighborhood Ball. Today, we are taking to celebrate Michelle Obama bringing the glamor back to The White House; we are very excited to see Michelle Obama’s style continue to evolve. This week we were especially impressed with her total look; even her hairstyle looks fabulous and it frames her face perfectly!

They have one child together Max Liron Bratman who is 2 years old. Apparently the two have been separated for approximately 4 months. Jordan was spotted at an attorney’s office Wednesday, obviously he must have been preparing for the divorce filing TMZ recently reported that allegedly Christina Aguilera was unfaithful to her husband. Neither camp is saying much, except for the fact that they are both commited to raising their son Max. As we rap up 2010 Christina Aguilera and a whole host of other celebrities are looking forward to their single status to ring in 2011.

Kanye West is known for being a talented musician and producer, and perhaps for his eccentricities. Over the last month, Kanye West has become a total fashionisto with his trend-setting fashion; we could not pass up the opportunity to give him kudos for his look. Of course Kanye has always had his own great sense of style, but he looks more comfortable and confident than ever.

We love his use of colors, accessories, and how unpredictable Kanye’s fashion selection can be. He’s a man comfortable in his own skin and he believes in his fashion choices and that’s what we love more than anything.

Perhaps performing at the VMAs helped put many things in perspective in his life. We think he realizes everyone is over the whole Taylor Swift drama, it wasn’t a big deal in the first place. We applaud Kanye for rising from the ashes and coming out on top as usual. More than ever, his fans can feel his explosive energy that he puts in his music in his fashion. We are hoping to see Kanye create a fashion line.

Last week Michael Bolton’s dance was referred to as being one of worst of all of the seasons he expressed his he wanted an apology issued by judge Bruno Tonioli. The show producers did not force Bruno to issue an apology to Michael for his rude comments; however, Michael was invited back to the show this week to sing instead of dance. Supposedly, it was never planned this way because Michael was a last minute replacement for “Britain’s Got Talent” singer Susan Boyle (who was suffering from health issues the day of the performance). Everyone anticipated there would be an apology issued to Michael Bolton, but nothing was displayed publicly. Even celebrities such as Kirstie Alley have expressed their discontent over Tonioli’s disrespectful comments. Michael also shared that he made a special effort to fly his elderly mother in for what he thought would be a fabulous event; WHAT A DISASTER!
