AGE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER?...JENNIFER LOPEZ AND BOYFRIEND CALL IT QUITS

Jennifer Lopez is back on the market after she let go of her boy/toy.  Truly sucks for him to lose the baddest chick in the game right now.  

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have called it quits after nearly 2 1/2 years ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the former couple tell us ... they actually split nearly 2 months ago, but kept it on the down low.   We're told the breakup was civil.  They're still friendly but simply grew apart.

We're told the breakup had nothing to do with recent stories of Casper's sexual escapades. One source put it this way:  "Casper has been a single guy and can text or see whoever he wants, but the idea that he was knowingly texting a transsexual is laughable."  The source added, "He's not that guy, but like a lot of single guys online he obviously likes to look at a 'lil T and A."

Casper is in the process of moving out right now.  We're told there was no rush because JLo's been on the road promoting her 10th album, AKA.

We're told Casper will be pursuing acting, which is why he took show directing and choreography off his Instagram.

USHER COVERS NYLON MAGAZINE...GUY EDITION

The 35-year-old singer, who moved to NYC at 15 to work with Diddy, discusses his role as Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming biopic Hands of Stone and why he doesn’t give “two shits” about his fans’ musical input.

In between recording his eighth album and coaching “The Voice,” Usher finds time to pose for the June/July cover of Nylon Guys, which hits newsstands today. The “Good Kisser” looks sharp, modeling casual and comfortable looks in the photos shot by Kenneth Cappello.

Usher has been in the studio with Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Skrillex, and Diplo working on the follow-up to 2012′s Looking 4 Myself.

On being mentored by Diddy: “Artist development made me who I am. Somebody took the time to help me find what it is that works for me as an entertainer and who I am as a music maker.”

On playing Sugar Ray Leonard in the biopic Hands of Stone: “I wanted to show a different side of who I am, not just throw my acting chops toward a romantic comedy. When I played Sugar Ray, everything was Sugar Ray. Every day I trained like a boxer. I ate like a boxer. I moved like a boxer.”

"ME PRECIOUS"...KANYE HIRES EXTRA SECURITY TO KEEP DAUGHTER NORTH SAFE & KIM'S NOT HAPPY

Taking a page out of Jay and Be's book....Kanye West is one scared papa when it comes to his precious baby North West and he’s taking drastic measures and extra precautions to keep his little girl safe.

Kim Kardashian’s husband has always been an awkward daddy, telling his mother-in-law Kris Jenner that he couldn’t even properly put her car seat in the car, but he’s taking her security very seriously now.

“He was frustrated that the baby was in public so much and he wants to make sure that now that all of those festivities are over that she’s protected.”

And if that isn't enough sources say they are already arguing....New reports are saying that Kanye wants a baby boy ASAP, but Kim is worried that at her age, having another baby will ruin her ASSets forever! A close friend explained what happened when Kim told Ye that she’s STILL not ready for his super sperm, saying:

“Kanye was furious. He’s been ready to have baby number two since the start of the year, but he’s had to be patient because Kim wanted to look as slim and sexy as possible on their wedding day. Kim told him that they needed to wait until after they got married. So he agreed to bide his time. But he thought that meant the gloves were of, so to speak, as soon as they tied the knot.”

 As for Kanye, it’s easy for him to want a baby because he gets to do the fun part! Remember how he basically ditched Kim for her entire pregnancy??? Like we been saying all along these two are not happy together and Kim will be DIVORCED before the end of the year.

While the rukus over Rihanna’s “Naked Dress” from Monday night’s CFDA Awards is being talked about heavily through the media, there’s already a new RiRi-dressed-inappropriately scandal on the horizon.

Rihanna stepped out once again, but this time, with more clothes on. The CFDA Fashion Icon rocked a leather chain-link halter top and cargo trousers to the launch of her fragrance “Rogue by Rihanna” in Paris on Wednesday.

Fans lined up in the rain outside Sephora to get a glimpse of the singer, who continues to stir controversy for her revealing looks.

According to E! Online, her Rogue fragrance ad has been banned in public areas in England. The topless pic was deemed “sexually suggestive” by the British Advertising Standards Authority.

 But RiRi is laughing off the criticism. She changed her Twitter icon to a photo of her alongside “Family Guy’s” Peter Griffin in the same see-through outfit from the CFDAs. “He gets it!” she wrote.

The annual show draws a mix of fashion insiders and Hollywood but Rihanna ensured she was the star of the show 

Speaking of the singer before the ceremony, designer Zac Posen called the pop star a fashion risk-taker, who skillfully melds red-carpet glamour with a rebellious streak.
