The divorce papers aren’t even signed and it appears that KIM KARDASHIAN is already on the rebound.

KIM and her famous family sat in the VIP section at the Los Angeles leg of the Watch The Throne tour. JAY-Z and KANYE brought the house down while the KARDASHIANS along with BEYONCE, partied from the private VIP box above the stage.

Allegedly that night at the Watch The Throne after party, KIM and KANYE  got very close, and their chemistry was more than obvious.

An onlooker at the party told The Daily News, “Kanye was eating Kim up like she was a piece of cake. He was all over her — caressing her head, touching her waist.” Whhaaaattt?

Judging by Kanye’s past selections (cough cough AMBER ROSE cough) we know he has a fatal attraction to thick women who crave the spotlight, so KIM is right up his alley.

Let’s not forget, this isn’t the first alleged hookup between KIM and KANYE. The two were rumored to be dating after Ye’ made a cameo in the first season of Kim and Kourtney Take New York, and on a morning radio show AMBER confirmed in a round about way that the two are more than friends.

We’re not sure about you, but we think these are two egos celebs that would make E! Network’s ratings skyrocket, and that’s music to a KARDASHIAN’s ears.

While on the West Coast for her husband JAY-Z‘s Watch The Throne performances, BEYONCE‘s baby bump made an appearance in very huge way.

The mom-to-be was snapped in West Hollywood at the lingerie boutique, Agent Provocateur, showing off her growing baby bump in a blue and black jumper dress.

With the holidays quickly approaching BEYONCE revealed to New! that she plans to have very chill Christmas with her husband exchanging gifts.

“I will be with family. We are both so busy throughout the year that Christmas is just a time to relax with family and count the many blessings in your life. We both keep seeing super-cute stuff for the baby, so I am sure even our presents for each other will involve the baby in some way!”

Beyonce’s baby is reportedly due any day now, and could possibly arrive around Christmas.

VH1 along with the iconic girl group TLC has plans to air, produce, and write a scripted TV biopic of the legendary trio’s well-known journey.

“With the tremendous success of our scripted series Single Ladies, we now know that viewers will come to VH1 for quality scripted projects,” says Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming & Production for VH1.

Surviving group members, ROZANDA “CHILLI” THOMAS and TIONNE “T-BOZ” WATKINS will serve as executive producers, while LANIER, writer of  classic films, What’s Love Got To Do With It and Set It Off will pen the show.

From burned down mansions to bankruptcy, TLC has a story to tell, and both T-BOZ and CHILLI can’t wait to tell it.  

“The reality of this brings me to tears because I am seeing one of my dreams come to life,” says CHILLI.

“Well here we go on another TLC  ride and I can’t wait,” says WATKINS.

No word yet on when the biopic is expected to start casting or filming, but we will be tuning in. How about you?
