Aubrey, the forever changing brunette and is now back to her confused dirty blonde, has had a tough go of it. She was Puffy’s golden girl, and she rode his favor to a spread in Maxim. Now she’s determined to prove to him, to us, that she’s more than just a spray-tanned sex symbol. And so, off she goes for a nice morning of bikini shopping, and we’re awarded her voguing in each little number she tries on.

A certain flashy, arrogant, allegedly former homophobic rapper who apparently mistook a Hollywood filmmaker who approached him on Los Angeles’s gay-friendly Santa Monica Blvd. for a “gay fan.” A source said that the rapper-producer sped off in a black Range Rover with a New Jersey license plate-likely a rental-when said filmmaker attempted to hand him his business card. “He hauled ass outta’ there like a bat outta’ hell,” said our tipster.
