Ray J

If this story is true, Ray J is officially the coolest dude ever...

Sources say Kris Jenner is "irate" over a text message her daughter received on her wedding day... because it came from her ex-boyfriend and it read: "And to think you really have me to thank for all this ;-)"

All of this, of course, is a reference to Kim's ridiculously lavish wedding, one that netted her about $18 million and one that was just a slightly bigger deal than her first marriage to Damon Thomas, which just happened to take place before she had sex with Ray J on camera.

We'll take any excuse we can get to remind the world why Kim is famous.

Since that videotaped pounding, of course, Kim has gone on to star in a reality show... create a brand around her name, breasts and social networking... and create an event last weekend that received more attention than the latest casualty report in Afghanistan.

It also practically crashed Kim K Superstar, which is downright hilarious.

Ray J, meanwhile, acknowledges sending a text to Kim, but wouldn't elaborate on its contents. He simply said of his ex and Kris Humphries: "I wish them the best. She's doing real good right now, that what it is."

Fresh off a successful run on Dancing With the Stars last season and another starring on her own reality show, A Family Business, Brandy is looking ahead to the next step - teaming up with Ray J to launch the Norwood Talent Agency Corporation!

The agency, with which Ray and Brandy (who are brother and sister) will run along with their parents, will run out of Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel, and "aims to represent individuals across various entertainment platforms."

So if you want to make a Ray J sex tape, give 'em a call!

MEET THE NORWOODS: This nice family business is ready to rep you!

Move over, William and Kate. Two people truly meant for each other have reportedly come together.

According to Media Takeout, Danielle Staub was caught locking lips with Ray J this week. In the photo posted on the site, Brandy's brother is leaning down to lay one on the former Real Housewife of New Jersey, who responds by raising a champagne glass.

THG's research shows this to be the first time in recorded history that two people with separate sex tapes have found love. (Vomit from Staub's naked images HERE and re-familiarize yourself with Ray's work HERE.)

It's clear this pair is meant for each other. The only question remaining: what will they title they own intercourse video?

Kim Kardashian earned millions of dollars in 2010, but she is yet to thank the one man that made it all possible: Ray J.

Finally coming out and stating the truth - that Kim would be absolute nobody right now if she didn't boink him on video in 2007 - the aspiring hip hop star took credit for Kim's fame and fortune in a new interview.

Feel free to show Ray J some gratitude any day now, Kim...

Said Brandy's brother: "Kim was created, Cocktail was created and now I'm off to a new project... I wish them well, I hope they have major success in their life. They are great girls, they got good heads on their shoulders and I want them to be successful."

It's safe to say Kardashian has already turned her publicized porking into massive riches, but Cocktail is yet to benefit from an equally talented PR team.

She won Ray's heart on his VH1 reality show, torched him in a subsequent interview and has not been heard from since.

As if they didn't already have enough in common, Ray J and Betty White both celebrate birthdays today.

First, the man responsible for making Kim Kardashian famous turns 30. We've already purchased a new video camera for the aspiring hip hop artist and reality TV star.

Meanwhile, White is now 89. She's continuing to enjoy a career resurgence that has seen here host Saturday Night Live, guest star on Community and anchor the TV Land sitcom Hot in Cleveland.

Send in your birthday wishes to these exciting stars today, along with others that turn a year older on January 17: Maksim Chmerkovskiy (31), Kid Rock (40), Michelle Obama (47) and Muhammad Ali (69).

R&B singer and Kim Kardashian sex tape co-star Ray J has signed a deal to become a special correspondent on Extra, covering ABC's Dancing With the Stars this fall.

"He's doing it because he really loves the show and wants to support Brandy's effort to win," his rep tells Us. Talk about your biased celebrity gossip reporting.

A FAMILY THING: Brandy and Ray are set to reunite.

Ray's sister is considered among the favorites in the 11th season along with Jennifer Grey. Will a stage presence from her sibling help propel her over the top?

Ray will make his debut on DWTS Monday. He will interview the show's contestants - including his sister, Audrina Patridge and The Situation - for Extra Tuesday.

He replaces Vienna Girardi, who held the correspondent's role last season.

Sonja Bates-Norwood, the mother of Ray J and Brandy, has two messages for America:

1. Get over the sex tape her son made with Kim Kardashian.
2. Put the blame for its release squarely on the giant breasts shoulders of Kim.

The Norwood family appeared this week on The Wendy Williams Show in order to promote their new VH1 reality series (yes, there's now a program based around the exploits of one guy famous for penetrating Kim Kardashian on video; and one woman famous for her fatal car crash) - and Sonja was asked about the only reason anyone has ever heard of her son.

She first told the country to move on from the tape, and then said: "With all the hoopla with it being Ray J and people trying to blame him, did you see him on the cover of Playgirl? Did you see him in the centerfold of Playgirl?"

Translation: Kim has posed for Playboy and has seen her career take off since the video went online. You connect the dots, people.

All Kim's Fault!

Brandy and Ray J proceeded to sign autographs for fans outside talk show studio. Which raises the question: Brandy and Ray J have fans?!?

Ray J is famous for having slept with Kim Kardashian on tape.

Brandy is famous for having starred in a mediocre sitcom and accidentally killed someone with her car.

Together, along with their parents, these aspiring celebrities will appear on VH1's next Apocalyptic reality show, Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business.

According to the network press release:

"Viewers will get a first hand glimpse into the lives of the Norwood family unit and their family business – Rn’B Productions.  Run by Sonja, Rn’B Productions features an impressive roster of musical artists including Brandy, Ray J and their father Willie, who also serves as the company’s vocal coach.

"But with Sonja ready to take a step down, Brandy and Ray J will have to fill her shoes quickly all the while taking the family business to the next level."

It's unclear if Mz. Berry, the winner of For the Love of Ray J 2, will be featured on the series. Our guess? No.

Our disappointment? Severe.

When Ray J plowed Kim Kardashian on tape, we all assumed the aspiring hip hop artist was simply trying to make a name for himself.

But might Ray J have had another motive? Could he have been proving to the world that he's capable of maintaining an erection around the opposite sex?

That's what Monica Danger has implied. The former For the Love of Ray J finalist went on record last week with a startling revelation, one that would rock VH1 reality programming to its very core: Ray J is gay.

"Ray, I love you, I respect you, but you are selling me everywhere," Danger confusingly said, outing the singer and even naming his boyfriend: "Ray J’s lover of years is Young Buck."

Of course, Danger - who's been hospitalized for mental problems and recently lost custody of her daughter as a result - has about as much credibility as Tila Tequila.

Therefore, we might need to side with Ray J when he said in response to this accusation:

"I still got love for Danger, that’s one of my peoples. But I didn’t return her calls for the last 2-3 weeks, so she threatened to say ‘I’m going to tell people you’re gay!’ She went along and actually did it! I’m not gay, but I got love for gay people because I work with gay people... girls and dudes. I’m comfortable with my sexuality."

Anyone that watched Kim Kardashian Superstar is well aware of that! So are the walking STDs that exchange bodily fluids with Ray J on a weekly basis, as filmed by VH1 and evidenced below:

Think Ray J is only an expert on banging Kim Kardashian on video? Please.

The reality TV star also knows a thing or two about getting girls in the mood for love making during the holidays. In an interview with Us Weekly, he said:

"Hanging out in a cabin by the fire with some marshmallows, listening to Christmas music, sipping some champagne with snow all outside - that's sexy to me."

The most important aspect of any holiday season, he added: "If it's just you and your girl ... get into your zone!"

What does that entail, Mr. Ray to the J?

"It's always good to set the Christmas holidays with some nice music. I recommend that Whitney Houston Christmas CD. It's a good CD to just vibe to. For the holidays, listening to somebody like her or some R&B."

It also helps if you're dating someone that really wants to be famous, yet lacks talent of any kind. She'll just do you on the spot and let you release a tape of the sexy shenanigans.

For those unaffected by the recession, Ray has a few high-class ideas for wooing the one you love and/or wanna rail:

"Diamonds are always a good thing to get a girl for Christmas... [or] something really nice like a Mercedes, with a big bow on top!"

On top? Typically, Ray J likes it from behind. Watch him discuss these ideas, and others, after the jump.
