CB and I had a much too long conversation about “model”/professional girlfriend Amber Rose yesterday. Like, I maybe it was because yesterday’s news was so slow? I don’t know. But for some reason CB and I sat here and shot the breeze for way too long, theorizing about whether Kanye West and Amber had broken up, and whether she was just trying to get attention or if she was now boning Reggie Bush. It all started when Bossip had this story about Amber and Reggie looking really friendly at some event over the weekend. Reggie, having recovered from dating Kim Kardashian, seemed to be eyeing up the ladies at the party, and Amber caught his attention (photo here). This seemed weird to me, because as far as I could remember, Kanye and Amber hadn’t officially declared they were over. Now Us Weekly has a source who claims that Kanye dumped Amber – because he needed to concentrate on his art. So Amber’s looking for a new player.
Kanye West and his model-girlfriend Amber Rose are taking a break, a source close to the rapper, 33, tells UsMagazine.com.
“They are still good friends,” the source tells Us. “Kanye is consumed with recording his comeback record in Hawaii and had to shut it all off. When he’s in work mode, he can’t handle a relationship. He told Amber he needs to devote everything right now to his craft.”
Rose, 27, isn’t sulking.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, she was spotted making out with Kim Kardashian’s ex Reggie Bush at Axe Lounge in NYC’s The Hamptons — as West’s hit “Flashing Lights” blared from the speakers.
Nevertheless, a second source tells Us: “I wouldn’t say it’s over for good” for West and Rose. “It’s always off-and-on when it’s convenient for these two. He doesn’t go out anymore and she loves it, so he lets her. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are seen together again next week.”

I was never really sure whether I could buy Amber and Kanye’s relationship, so hearing that they broke up isn’t that big. I always thought it was more performance art on Kanye’s part. Or the desire to just have a steady girlfriend, a “muse” that he could have on his arm. Or maybe it was true love and Kanye just needed to put his art first. I don’t know. But I’m glad I finally have an answer to my question about whether Amber was getting her Reggie Bush freak on behind Kanye’s back.
