Cassie rocked this black mini dress with a metallic strapless bodice and a gathered detailed skirt.

Because we love polaroids.

Head-to-toe animal print is hard to pull off.  But celeb stylist June Ambrose rocked the look.  Perfect for fashion week.

AJ Crimson and Keisha Whitaker of Kissable Couture kicked it front row.

And the ladies watched the very pretty collection--filled with loose and extra light layers of sexy and easy fabrics--come down the runway.

Cassie and designer Nicole Miller headed over to the Soho store for the afterparty an Fashion's Night Out event. 

Cassie snapped some flicks at the Ciroc sponsored event.  Coincidence?  Fab times all around.

Floyd Mayweather's Mugshot Released + Las Vegas Cops Recommend Domestic Violence Charge

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 07:30 AM PDT

As we told you earlier, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was arrested for grand larceny regarding a dispute with his baby momma Josie Harris.  His mugshot, which looks more like a glamour shot, and the latest developments regarding the domestic violence dispute when you go inside….

 

<!--break-->

Things are not looking good for Pretty Boy Floyd. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department have recommended the Clark County District Attorney's Office add “the additional charge of battery domestic violence," to the grand larceny charge (for allegedly taking Harris' iPhone).

Mayweather, surrendered himself to authorities early Friday morning and was released Friday afternoon around 2pm after posting $3000 bail.  He won’t know if he is charged until the D.A. evaluates the evidence in the case. Shortly after he was released, the paps caught up with Mayweather and asked a few questions before he sped off in a Maybach. 

Watch the video here.

 

Kanye Puts On Secret Tux-Only Show For Fashion's Night Out...And Hooks Up With Melody Thornton?!

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 06:28 AM PDT

Melody Thornton and Kanye West were spotted thisclose all night at Marc Jacob's Soho store last night for Fashion's Night Out.  Has dude moved on to a Pussycat Doll?  Deets on that, plus his secret show at Karl Lagerfield's apartment when you read on...

<!--break-->

Our Blackberry spies (hence the muddy pics) also spotted Melody and Kanye leaving together holding hands.  Honestly, we can barely believe it ourselves.  So, for now, we'll charge it to the "just cool friends" game.  Right?

After the Marc Jacobs event, Kanye hosted a top secret performance at the Chanel head honcho Karl Lagerfield's apartment on 87th St. and Lexington.  If you didn't have on a tux or black tie gear, you got NO entrance. 

He performed for an intimate and uber exclusive group at 10pm. Why do I love all these black tie secret shows 'Ye is doing.  Something's so hot about it...

BREAKING NEWS: Floyd Mayweather Arrested For Stealing From Baby Momma!? + What Does Lil Wayne Look Like NOW?

Posted: 10 Sep 2010 01:17 PM PDT

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was arrested in Las Vegas for grand larceny.  Authorities are claiming he took personal items from the home of Josie Harris, his baby momma without her permission.  Read on for the deets plus see a recently released photo of Lil Wayne on Rikers Island...

<!--break-->

 

The YBF told you earlier, that police were called to the home of Josie Harris around 5 AM yesterday after she claimed Mayweather had attacked her and threatened to kill her.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, Josie Harris went to court yesterday and filed for a restraining order against Mayweather saying he came into her Las Vegas home Thursday morning and awoke her by, "pulling me by my hair and throwing me on the ground in my living room and began punching me in my head."

And it gets worse....according to Harris.  In the court docs, Harris claims Floyd dragged her on the floor and attempted to break her arm.  He then proceeded to hit her in front of the former couple's three children while threatening them not to call the police.   Harris says Mayweather also threatened to hurt her boyfriend.

Read the entire court document here.

So where does the grand larceny come in?  Well Harris says Mayweather had been at the house two hours before the alleged attack, yelling at her about her new boyfriend.  She then called the police who escorted Floyd out of the home.

But Harris says Mayweather re-entered the home through her son's side bedroom door, and that's when the alleged attack occured.  THEN....the Las Vegas Review-Journal, reported that Mayweather was arrested and booked for grand larceny related to the domestic incident. According to the report, Mayweather allegedly took personal items from Harris' house after the incident.  He was booked and held on $3,000 bail. 

This story is still developing and we will keep you up to speed.  But interesting that after a professional boxer tries to break your arm and beats you in front of your three children the police only book him for grand larceny. SMH

 

And for those of you wondering how Lil Wayne looks after some time of Rikers Island...we have a flick.

 

This photo was posted on a Lil Wayne fansite.  Well I can tell from his face doesn't look like he will be coming out with a 50 Cent-ish prison body.  Not much time on the weight sets Wayne? He did have an album to write. 

MOVIE FAB: Aretha Franklin Building A-List Cast For Her Biopic...With Halle Berry As Young Aretha?

Posted: 10 Sep 2010 10:20 AM PDT

 

Aretha Franklin is planning the cast for her upcoming bio flick based on her New York Times Best-Selling Autobiography Aretha: From These Roots, and she is going after the biggest names in Black Hollywood.  See who she wants when you go inside...

<!--break-->

 

The Queen of Soul has been quietly meeting with top black actors and actresses, including Denzel Washington and Terrence Howard, for roles in the film based on her.  The Queen tells the BV Newswire, "These actors are enthusiastic about the project and have agreed to take on these roles subject to further negotiation."

Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry is the top pick to play a young Aretha.  And Denzel Washington, says he's open to playing the role of Franklin's father, Rev. C.L. Franklin. 'Law and Order: Los Angeles' star and Oscar-nominated Terrence Howard agreed in-person to portray Smokey Robinson. Nia Long is being asked to play Aretha's sister Erma Frankin and Blair Underwood wanted for the role of brother and long-time manager Cecil Franklin.  And last but certainly not least, A-List gospel singers Karen Clark Sheard and LaShun Pace have been asked to play the world-renowned gospel group, the Ward Singers, whom Aretha says most influenced her  career.

Truly a diva, she didn't name anyone who wasn't Black Hollywood's A-list.  This movie should be fab with such a great cast.  I wonder if Halle plans to gain weight for the role if she also plays "older" Aretha.  Or will the Queen be like Natalie Cole and play herself.  We will see.
