Tiny, Kelly Rowland, Gabrielle Union Attend Dwyane Wade’s 30th Birthday Bash

Tiny, Kelly Rowland, Gabrielle Union Attend Dwyane Wade’s 30th Birthday Bash: Miami Heat basketball star Dwyane Wade celebrated his 30th birthday at the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach last night. The point guard who is hobbled by a nagging ankle injury was joined by his longtime girlfriend (and part-time babysitter) Gabrielle Union; his teammates LeBron James and Chris Bosh; singer Kelly Rowland, rappers T.I., Rick Ross, Flo Rida, and about 400 family and friends. If you’re a regular reader, you know I’m big on body language. Could Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s bodies be more in tune with each other? See how their bodies mirror each other, and their eyes are closed. Their body language reveals a couple who are in complete bliss without a care in the world at that very moment.Gabby (pictured here with singer Kelly Rowland at the birthday party) attended the BET Honors in Washington D.C. on Saturday, where she cracked a joke at her lover’s expense: “Why are you crying on the floor after your loss to Dallas Mavericks? You have a ring! I should be the one crying! Where’s MY ring?,” she said, referring to the Miami Heat’s loss in the NBA Finals last season. Even though Gabby was only joking, they say every joke has a ring of truth to it (pun intended).Kelly Rowland always looks cute in whatever she wears, and her makeup is always on point. I LOVE her blouse! But my readers do take issue with her hair sometimes. Hopefully Kells will stop borrowing Beyonce’s old lacefronts in the new year.

Rob Lowe says Peyton Manning will retire; father, agent say no

Rob Lowe says Peyton Manning will retire; father, agent say no: We don't mean to contribute to the Peyton Manning retirement speculation fueled today by, of all people, Rob Lowe.But it's out there, so here you go. Lowe, 'Parks and Recreation' star and the prototypical jerk in such 90's classics as 'Wayne's World' and 'Tommy Boy,' tweeted Wednesday that he's hearing Manning is done playing football. Lowe's 'report' appeared to be inaccurate after several interested parties weighed in Wednesday. Manning's father, Archie, laughed when told of Lowe's tweet, telling ESPN's Chris Mortensen "He ain't retiring. I think he would've told me." Manning's agent, Tom Condon, says this is the first he's heard about it, per NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Still, both "Rob Lowe" and "Peyton Manning" and "#RobLoweIsReporting" were among the top 10 US Twitter trends Wednesday afternoon. The actor, as it happens, is friends with Colts owner Jim Irsay. Lowe is also the first person Irsay followed on Twitter, before the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell. Irsay, who tweets often, responded hours later, poking fun at Lowe while not denying the actor's tweet. Manning, 35, sat out the 2011 season after enduring multiple offseason neck surgeries. The Colts finished 2-14, earning the No. 1 pick, one they're likely to spend on Stanford QB Andrew Luck. While we wait for confirmation, please enjoy the magic of Rob Lowe in Tommy Boy:
