Why Is She Famous?

Amber Rose is exactly who your mother warned you about. She’s a sexually-charged bisexual beacon of energy. A part-time model and full-time troublemaker, she’s best known to gossip hounds as the on-again, off-again arm candy of Kanye West, despite recently being spotted making out with Chris Brown at Diddy and Ashton Kutcher’s Fourth of July White Party.  Maybe if you sang R&B and sold your own line of shoes, she could be yours, too.

Sexiness

Amber Rose is so sexually self-aware that she makes Madonna seem out of date. With a unique physique that’s half Cape Verdian and half Italian, she represents the best of both worlds, and her sleek, toned body is made even more noticeable by her dyed blond hair, which she maintains as a buzz-cut. Her knack for attracting attention extends to her radio and print interviews, which leave little to the imagination when it comes to her sex life. For the record, Amber Rose loves women as much as she adores men, prefers solo partners over multiples, has sex on the brain at least two to three times per day, and lists a solid sense of humor and sexy facial expressions as two of her biggest turn-ons.

We don’t know if she’ll be so open about her bedroom activities with her somtimes boyfriend Kanye West, but there is another man that Amber Rose is more than happy to publicly swoon for. Dubbing him “the sexiest man alive,” Rose is infatuated with President Barack Obama and can no doubt imagine herself as a member of his personal staff. We’re not sure if Monica Lewinsky has called Amber Rose to offer any advice on presidential courtship.

Success

If there were such a thing as a “flamboyant enigma,” Amber Rose might be such a creation. A fresh celebrity who is truly full of surprises (no, not you, Lindsay Lohan), the details of Rose’s personal history are teasing at best, but now that she’s here, she’s impossible to ignore… and she likes it that way. So do we. Throw in her big-name boyfriend and she’s just earned a front-page subscription to the gossip rag of the month club. Whether she’s going further up the fame scale or just passing through remains to be seen.

Besides her public cameos alongside Kanye West, Amber Rose is beginning to earn her celebrity stripes from the music video and modeling circuits. To date, she has rocked the beat in videos for Young Jeezy and Ludacris, and posed for racy photo spread in Smooth magazine. Most recently, she was prominently featured — lying naked across Kanye’s lap — in a Louis Vuitton ad for Mr. West’s shoe line. Upon seeing the ad, our first thought was… where did he get those… shoes?

“The best sex I have is with myself, to be honest.”

Biography

Like most future tabloid targets, Amber Rose started her life living hard, fighting and being an attractive center of attention. Raised in South Philadelphia, she was an immediate outcast at school and was frequently singled out for her appearance. With a lighter skin tone than many of her classmates, Amber Rose was forced to fight other girls regularly, which only made her tougher, more confident and thicker-skinned in the process. It also made for a group of brokenhearted and jealous Kanye West fans much later on.

While her early introductions to insults and fighting could have led to a childhood of mistakes, Amber Rose kept her miscues to a minimum. One of those miscues was named Ernest, her first love and the man who got her an underage tattoo bearing his name — all at the age of 15. To this day, Rose keeps Ernest tattooed on her arm, not as a fond memory, but as a reminder of what kind of man she doesn’t want. It was an impressive grudge, to be sure, and also a simple expression of Rose’s fiery personality.

Amber Rose heads to the big apple

Amber Rose initially wanted to own a restaurant as an adult. While it’s something she could still do in the future, she found that her love of food was eclipsed by her desire to be sexually open and expressive. As a result, exotic dancing came into her life at the Philadelphia strip joint, Delilah’s.

Now more comfortable in her own skin and equally adept at dancing, Amber Rose sought out better digs and moved to New York in 2007 after a chance encounter with an agent served as her introduction to life as a professional model. Now paid to look pretty while keeping her clothes on, Rose promptly shook up a storm in music videos, with two gigs for Young Jeezy (“Vacation” and “Put On”) followed by a higher profile spot as a token hottie in “What Them Girls Like” by Ludacris. She would also come to be great pals with Rihanna.

Amber Rose meets Kanye West

In 2009, Amber Rose took a big splash into the celebrity pool by hooking up with crooner/fashion expert Kanye West. Initially spotted at Fashion Week in New York, they have been frequently photographed doing things that “famous people do,” like expensive shopping and partying it up with Perez Hilton. A fashion aficionado herself, Rose is now synonymous with wearing dark sunglasses up above, denim over her shoulders, and spandex down below. Can we make fun of her outfits? Maybe. What about her fame? Nope. Amber Rose‘s fate as Kanye’s lady friend was sealed with a revealing Louis Vuitton ad that featured her comfortably nude next to the big man himself. In Rose, Kanye West has found an equal — someone who is just as fashion-conscious, over-the-top and brazenly charismatic as he is — and for the time being, it will no doubt change his own image and propel Amber Rose‘s popularity in the process. A little less about love and more about fame? Maybe that’s why they’re relationship is on-again, off-again, and Rose was caught canoodling with Chris Brown at Diddy and Ashton Kutcher’s Fourth of July White Party in 2009.
