Fanny Packs are BACK!

Do you remember the fanny pack? It was the mark of a tourist, a busy parent or a super geek, but now, this uber-80s accessory has gotten a new look with a fabulous new defintion. Fanny packs hit the runway this season in full throttle. No longer bulky and gaudy, designers have taken the fanny pack to a slick new place that is perfectly fashionable. Think about it... if you live in the city, the fanny pack is the perfect way to stay light and mobile. Big enough to carry your Blackberr, lip gloss or even a small notebook, the pack is the perfect urban tag-along.

Not to forget about out 4-legged friends, you can also get a fanny pack to carry your pooch!

OJ is A Suspect.. Again

TMZ is reporting that Orenthal J. Simpson and five other men barged into a hotel room last night, and took various memorabilia once owned by Simpson -- at gunpoint!

Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley has said he had the suit OJ wore the day he was acquitted of murder.Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying the suit and other Simpson memorabilia.

Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson's crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them with guns drawn. Beardsley says the men claimed to be police officers. OJ and others demanded that Beardsley and two other men surrender their cell phones. Beardsley refused to do so. Beardsley says the group stole every piece of memorabilia in the room, including items signed by Joe Montana. They also took a case of never-released leather editions of Simpson's book, "I Want to Tell You.

Rumor Control: Paula Patton Preggers?



While looking for a parking spot at my local Christie's Toy box, don't judge me, I heard on the FM that Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are expecting their first child. Now this could be completely a rumor, just like the rumor of J.Lo being pregnant but if this is true I would like to wish the happy couple a congrats on their little mulatto ray of sunshine!

And since we are talking about pregnant peeps, Halle Berry was spotted bringing a box of yummies to a sick friend at the UCLA hospital yesterday.

Glory Be...


Erykah Badu performed at the Heineken Red Star Soul Concert Series in Chi-town yesterday. This is the lady you hate to see in Church because every Sunday is a chance for her to outdue what she did the Sunday before. I can't hate, this chick stays casket sharp!

Another Kim K Sex Tape?


"Enjoy it while you can. Can't live off the sex tape forever. Have a second plan. There's always someone younger and prettier than you." Those were magical words uttered by Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans to Kim Kardashian after her sex-tape was released with then boy toy Ray-J.

Seems like she's taking this motherly advice to heart because there's rumors that Steve Hirsch, founder of 21-year-old Vivid Entertainment, has another celeb sex tape on the way featuring Flava Flav' girl Toastee and Kim Kardashian.

Now I pray to Oprah that they aren't in this together. Toastee looks like a chick who's banged a couple of horses and goats back in her day. Quite frankly Kim's 15 seconds of whoring fame is up, unless in this video she actually lets someone pee on her, like a horse or a goat, then I'd watch.

Sequins are IN!!


Yes, Sequins are in this year, you can easily find them in your grandmothers or even mothers closet which makes them ultra vintage and anything that's vintage is of course trendy. I searched and searched on articles covering this repeating trend and lucked up on my very own blogroll partner Sylvia who runs the VERY fabulous fashion blog, I Like Her Style! She has the revival of the ' Sequin' covered from left to right!


According to the blog diva, Sequins are nothing new but they’ve made a resurgence on the Spring 2008 runway shows, including Marc Jacobs, Tracy Reese and Badgley Mischika and now celebrities are wearing them too. Whether it’s tiny sequins like on Kimora Lee Simmons or Paula Patton’s dress or huge ones like singer Keri Hilson, sequins add zing to any outfit. Keep the look from looking Vegas-like by sticking to black, if you must add color take a leaf out of Joy Bryant’s book. The silk flowers are divine.

Here are Sylvia's picks of sequin peices that you should have this upcoming Spring season.


Left to right: Sequin Shift Dress, $198, http://www.ardenb.com/; Sequin Silk Bubble Dress, $168, http://www.ardenb.com/; Sequin Embellished Dress by Hanii Y, $805, http://www.net-a-porter.com/; Queenie Sequins Dress, $248, http://www.fcusbuymail.com/

Quote of the Day

50 Cent claims his numbers are due to widespread bootlegging of his CD. Kanye countered with, "So was mine. Stop making excuses, bitch".

In first day sells Kanye has sold 440k and 50 Cent has sold 310k.

J.Lo's Album Shoot

Here are a few shots from J.Lo's new album, "BRAVE". J.Lo is so precious, she's like a nice bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day. When she sings I swear the Angels fly down to take me to baby infant Jesus.... and then I wake up and it really sounds like my Chihuahua trying to ram his peen into the neighbors cat.




Diddy's 'Unforgivable' Ad Banned From TV

Diddy's ad for his cologne, 'Unforgivable" has been banned from television. The commercial shows Diddy getting too cozy with rapper Ma$e - first in a stairwell, then inside of a hotel room. During the encounter, Diddy hikes up Ma$e's g-string and fondles his manballs and ends with him sucking on Ma$e's perky erect man nipples.

MTV has reportedly sent Diddy a list of edits to make before the network can air the spot. So far, he has refused to change one frame, reports the Post.

Ok ok, so I made up that story, here's the real story . I think mines is more interesting but whatev.

Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married" Poster

Here's a new poster for Tyler Perry's upcoming film, "Why Did I Get Married". There has been a lot of buzz going on about this movie, and not the good kind might I add. I've heard rumors that this movie is just a repeat of, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Madea's Family Reunion." The concepts are all basically the same. Not to forget the painfully bad sitcom, "House of Payne", It's not looking too good for Tyler Perry. But I'm sure fans will flock to see Janet Jackson in her first acting role since Poetic Justice, and singer Jill Scott flourish on the screen.

The movie is to set to hit theatres on Oct.12

Yesterday was the day that the world has been waiting for. 'Curtis' and 'Graduation' were both released and fans alike were purchasing albums to boost up sales for their favorite artist. According to iTunes Kanye west is blowing 50 out of the water in online sales/pre-order sales.

With iTunes, West's new album was ranked as the second best seller of the day. On the same site, 50 Cent's album landed in the ninth spot. Still, at local stores, the matchup appeared to be fairly even.

Oprahs Fund-rasier Raises $3 million for Obama

Oprah Winfrey grandly demonstrated her support of Senator Barack Obama last weekend with a lavish celebrity fund-raiser at her California home that collected an estimated $3 million for his presidential campaign. A ticket to get into the fund-raiser cost a measly $2,300.

Barack, a fellow Chicagoan, is the first presidential candidate Oprah has ever endorsed, and the fund-raiser at her home exhibited her clout, at least in Hollywood circles, by drawing Cindy Crawford, Sidney Poitier and Chris Rock.

"I haven't been actively engaged before because there hasn't been anything to be actively engaged in. But I am engaged now to make Barack Obama the next president of the United States," a source said Winfrey told the crowd just before the concert, starring Stevie Wonder.


New Release Tuesdays!

It seems that the music world halted their release dates so 50 Cent and Kanye West could battle it out. AOL Music is once again letting you stream 50 Cents new album, 'Curtis', before you decide to purchase it. One of the most highly-anticipated releases features Eminem, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige and Nicole Scherzinger.

Foxy Brown Earns Her Streed Cred.



Foxy Brown will spend the next year in Rikers Island jail after breaking the terms of a probation period dating from 2004.

"I'm not going to give you any more chances," Judge Melissa Jackson told 28-year-old Brown. "I hope you turn your life around and never again have to stand in a court of law."

After hearing sentencing, Brown burst in tears and glanced over at her mother who was in court to support her daughter. Brown also faces the prospect of giving birth to her first child behind bars after learning of her pregnancy last month.

Speaking of pregnancy, who exactly is the babies father? Some say it's Kulcha Don, a dancehall artist who she dated earlier this year. But according to Kulcha, that child isn't his. He was quoted as saying, "I am definitely not the father, I heard that she is three months pregnant. She and I broke up almost six months ago. I want to make it clear that despite the rumours and all the things being said, I am not the father of Foxy Brown's unborn child."

Pleaseee pleaseee pleaseee let the father be Tito Jackson. I love me some Tito Jackson and I think he'd make a fabulous father and show love and guidance to the ghetto children of the world.

High School Musical Gone Wild!!

[Click here to see the NSFW version of this picture]

I waited a while before posting this because I wasn't sure how many of you readers actually know who I'm talking about. But for those who do, High School Musical alum, Vanessa Hudgens, joined the ranks of probably half the teens in the country by having some riske' pictures of her lovely lady lumps taken by none other than her 19 year old gay boyfriend Zac Efron. Seriously, the guy is gay, he has gay hair and gay eyebrows.


What Happened Behind The Scenes at This Years VMA

From the fist fight between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, to Kanye West having another one of his moments, I have all the insider info for you pretties!!
Kid Rock and Tommy Lee Fight
The incident began when Lee, who was sitting at P Diddy's table, muttered something to Rock as he walked past him on his way to introduce the final performance. Kid Rock then hit Lee twice before security pulled them apart.
"It looked like Tommy initiated the fight because Kid was ignoring him. Tommy started to antagonise Kid, and then when Tommy stood up Kid hit him first with a backhand. Tommy looked like he was trying to aggressively retaliate and then Kid hit him again.

How you gonna start a fight, then not even get a hit in. Reports are saying this was of course a "jealousy" thing. Kid Rock was married to Tommy Lee's former wife, Pamela Lee Anderson. If you noticed, when Pamela was announcing, Tommy Lee kept yelling things and touching her resulting in her yelling, "STOP IT" in the middle of her introducing the next act.

Diddy DID get hit in the scuffle. While security was putting Tommy Lee in a headlock the security guards accidentally hit Diddy, who was in the middle of trying to break it up, reports are saying that he was involved in the fight but this isn't true.

Kanye Wests multiple "Bitch-Fits".

First, he was upset because he didn't get a chance to perform on the main stage, sources say that:

Kanye was watching the closing performance on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset," "He started asking anyone who'd listen why he wasn't allowed to perform on the main stage. 'Why did I perform in just a suite?' he was saying. 'Justin's my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something's wrong here

At a pre-VMA performance on Friday, West lashed out at Spears and wondered why he wasn't approached to kick off the VMAs. "I can't believe she would perform/ She hasn't had a hit record in years, "I gotta get my money right/ Or maybe I gotta get my skin white."

50 Cents Poolside set was cut short

50's stage was built over one of the pools at the Hard Rock, and some fans actually stood in the water in front of the stage, cheering on 50. During his "I Get Money" set fifty threw out $100 dollar bills causing the fans to go into a riot, some even jumping in the pool to get the money.

When this happened the stage 50 was performing on started to capsize, 50 started urging the fans to move off the stage or else everyone would get electrocuted. 50 continued performing and once again the fans started bombarding the stage so 50 shut down his set and went to Timbaland and Justin Timberlakes suite to perform with them.

Timbaland on Britney's performance

When asked about Britney's performance Timbo replied back with it's okay...it was kinda dull, kinda flatline."

There's even rumors that he had made mention to her outfit and how she was probably, "on something" while performing.




Rihanna Squeeks through "Umbrella"

Well all know Rihanna can't sing, she even lip syncs "Umbrella" which is probably the easiest song in the world to sing.

So during her second performance of the night in her VMA suite the crooner once again delighted us with a "live" version of 'Umbrella'. Sources say this chick squeeked the whole way through the song, after her 3rd squeek her backround vocals were turned up and she lip synced the rest of the song abruptly leaving the stage quite shaken.

VMA Weekend MANIA!!- The Performances


PER-Mother Effin- Formance OF THE YEAR!! Chris Brown tore it up, never once was I a Chris Brown fan until now. He commanded the attention of all the artists in that room during last nights VMA performance, even prompting Justin Timberlake to say, “Nobody likes to be reminded that they’re getting older. And whatever Chris Brown just did reminded me of how I’m getting older – ’cause damn. It’s just exciting to see.






Probably one of the most "uncomfortable" moments of the night was the highly anticipated performance by Britney Spears. It was awkward to watch and you almost felt sorry for the lil beer-bellied pig. Her every move was slow and her facial expressions made you think that she didn't want to be there.






Showing the world that she's no slave to the "Beyonce-itis" that's going around, A.Keys rocked the stage yesterday with an amazing performance of her new song, "No One".. half way through the set she flipped the script and jammed out to George Micheal's, "Freedom." MTV should be kissing the ground her and Chris Brown walk on for saving this years VMA show.









The FINALE!! Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, Keri Hilson and Justin Timberlake got together do perform a medley of songs to close the end of the show!!
