R.I.P. BABY GIRL: Celebs Reflect On Aaliyah's 10 Year Anniversary Posted: 25 Aug 2011 09:25 AM PDT It's been 10 years since Aaliyah lost her life way too soon. The songbird was the voice for teens and young women everywhere--with a style to match. When I was in high school, Aaliyah influenced everything the gils did--from the tomboy with a feminine appeal look, to the "I'm coming into my own" but "I'm still leaving much to the imagination" red carpet and photo shoot looks, to the music that every sweet girl dealing with powerful love, mess-ups, and break ups could relate to.
Check out how celebs say Aaliyah affectefd their lives inside...

She put on her Prada Baroque shades and gold strappy Louboutins hit the cobblestone to head to dinner: And signed a few autographs on the way. Looks like the ladies had some fun times. Nice.
Over in NYC, Tyra Banks put her model behavior aside and flipped out...for Cirque Du Soleil "Zarkana". Tyra hit the trapeze at Radio City Music Hall with the help of the artists. And of course, made the photo session all about her: Gotta love her. |
MOVIE FAB: Zoe Saldana's Press Conference, Screening And Promo Tour For "Colombiana" Posted: 25 Aug 2011 07:40 AM PDT It takes a lot of work to become a big time Hollywood leading lady, and Zoe Saldana proves she has the stamina to make it work as she hit up three events just yesterday to promote her new flick Colombiana. Get the deets inside...... Yesterday, Zoe Saladana was thet talk of the town as she set out to promote Colombiana, the new flick where she stars as an assassin. It hits theaters tomorrow. The actress did a press conference for the flim at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills yesterday in this cute deep purple print dress. Then the actress visited the Young Hollywood Studio. She got a chance to open up about the movie and revealed how she has learned to deal with the pressures of fame since her starring role in Avatar.
Then she did a quick waredrobe change--into this salmon leather Valentino lace-back dress--and headed over to the screening of her Columbia Pictures film Colombiana, also in Los Angeles. She rocked her nude Louboutin pumps and a Salvatore Ferragamo gold and white woven clutch.
She walked down the red carpet with her fiance, actor Keith Britton. Cute. Can't wait to see this movie!

Memphitz's AmproGel Spokesmanship Still In Tact After Arrest Posted: 25 Aug 2011 06:53 AM PDT After accidentally forgetting to take his gun out his luggage at the ATL airport, and getting arrested for it earlier this week, Toya Wright's hubby Memphitz is keepn' it moving. He faced the judge and he's still got his job in tact.
Deets inside... Memphitz got support from his "family" at Ampro Gel yesterday. He's the new spokesman of the company along with his wife Toya (Carter) Wright, but made it known they haven't left his side despite the arrest. He tweeted yesterday: Shout Out To Team @Amprogel for Sticking By Me during This Situation. I got Real Love for yall! Now That's what I call a Team! BANG. And the VP of the company responded: @MeMpHiTz Alwayz!! You're family now! Family sticks together!!! #TEAMAMPRO Memphitz was indeed licensed to carry the weapon in the state of Georgia. But carrying weapons on a plane is always illegal. He told the judge yesterday he simply forgot to remove it. He talked about going in front of the judge and being set free:
Hey...it happens to the best of 'em.

Zoe Kravitz Gets FUN & CUTESY For ELLE Mag Posted: 25 Aug 2011 05:52 AM PDT
Don't call her a quirky fashionista--she MIGHT just pop off. Actress, singer, and all-around FAB chick Zoe Kravitz is rocking the cover and pages of the September 2011 issue of ELLE South Africa. And we've got her fun pics, behind the scenes shoot, and q/a inside... Zoe hit the set of the ELLE South Africa photo shoot looking her usual naturally cute self. The mag dressed the rock heiress in a denim shirt from Woolworth's and tan Jimmy Choo studded shoes--which she rocked in 3 poses for the cover. Here's some behind the scenes pics of her doing a Q/A and getting dolled up for the shoot:
She also rocked a watercolor and shoulder embelished Sass and Bide dress.
So who are the style icons and what are the fahion mistakes of the 22-year-old X-Men & Yell To The Sky actress? Lisa Bonet & Lenny Kravitz's baby girl dished it all to ELLE:
Loves her. |
Posted: 24 Aug 2011 09:33 PM PDT Laura Govan-1. Gilbert Arenas-0. At least where the courts are concerned. Gilbert Arenas can join Chris Bosh in the pool of athletes who had their request for their baby mamas to NOT appear on "Basketball Wives" rejected. Deets inside.... Laura is now free to curse bishes out, pull hair, remove earrings and shoes, and talk ish. Because the judge dismissed Gilbert's lawsuit claiming the mother of his four children and on-again-off-again girlfriend, Laura Govan, shouldn't be allowed to air his dirty laundry on reality tv. According to TMZ: A judge ruled against the NBA star's request to block Laura Govan from appearing on the show and mentioning his name. The judge said Gilbert's claim that details of his family life should not be aired on the reality show -- is undercut by the fact he has "tens of thousands of Twitter users who follow [him] as he tweets about a variety of mundane occurrences." Oh wells. Guess we'll be seeing all the foolishness in its entirety. Case closed. |
WHAT'S BEEF: Lil' Wayne THREATENS & GOES IN On Jay-Z & Beyonce On Diss Track "It's Good" Posted: 24 Aug 2011 03:47 PM PDT
Lil' Wayne is raising eyebrows tonight with a new diss track aimed at Jay-Z and Beyonce called "It's Good" that features Jadakiss and Drake. Listen to the song and find out what started the beef inside....
Add Lil' Wayne to the list of sensitive rappers who take songs that propbably aren't even about them quite personally. In a new track called "It's Good" that features Jadakiss and Drake, Weezy throws shots are both Jay-Z and Beyonce in the following lyric: "Talk about baby money, I got your baby money.
So what got Lil' Wayne so upset that he had to threaten to kidnap Beyonce and It seems as though Weezy is responding to a verse in Jay-Z & Kanye's song "H.A.M." that goes: “Really you got baby money I mean, were Jay & 'Ye really thinking about Weezy when they were recording Watch The Throne? If you want to hear what the fuss is about, listen to "It's Good" off The Carter IV below: |

Meeka Claxton Says She MAY Drop Lawsuit Against Tami & She DOES NOT Need Speedy's Money Posted: 24 Aug 2011 02:23 PM PDT Meeka Claxton is making the interview rounds in an attempt to do damge control and show folks who she really is...because, as she says, the producers of "Basketball Wives" did not show her "likable" side or her success as a businesswoman. So she did this interesting little interview with Black Enterprise where she dishes on dropping the Tami lawsuit and more.
Deets inside...
Most reality stars complain that show producers never reveal who they really are, and in the case of Meeka Claxton, she may be right. In a recent interview for Black Enterprise.com, Meeka talked about her priorities as a mother and businesswoman and how she offers free real estate advice to young players. The interview reveals a side of her that "BBW" came no where close to showing. Read the highlights here....

WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU: Hustler Mag Claims They've Got A RIHANNA SEX TAPE With J.COLE?! Posted: 24 Aug 2011 01:24 PM PDT Usually we get giddy when we can smell a good sex tape coming. But this one just reeks of being fraudulent. Adult gentleman's magazine Hustler is claiming that they have a sex tape featuring Rihanna getting it poppin' with her LOUD tour opener and Roc Nation labelmate, rapper J. Cole. Here comes the drama.
Oh, and we've got new pics of Rih yachting into Portofino, Italy today too...
Deets inside... The folks over at Radar Online say that Hustler magazine is spreading the word that they have their hands on a Rihanna-J.Cole sex tape. But they're not sure what they're going to do with it. Radar reports:
Sighs. If there was really a sex tape, why not just sell it like Vivid Entertainment does? Or post it on your own site and rack up the revenue? Something's fishy here. Maybe the two (Radar & Hustler) are in on a publicity stunt to stack their own traffic or Rihanna's tour needed a PR push before Rih kicks the LOUD tour off in London. Rihanna has already been linked to J.Cole's good friends Drake and Jay-Z. So this would be an odd Hollywood bed-hop. All we know is--we just can't really see this ish. They all need more people. But on the other hand, we're not surprised by much that goes down behind the scenes. Especially with a chick who's made public knowledge that she like the smell of sex and chains and whips excite her. Time will tell... In the meantime, here's pics of Rih rolling into Portofino today looking white hot in an almost backless white jumpsuit, Christian Louboutin tie-dye "Miss Rope" bag, Fendi platform sandals, and her black Prada Baroque shades. And she navigated through a mass of fans:
Cute. BONUS: Rihanna says her "Cheers" video, which was shot during her recent vacay back home in Barbados, has been pushed back to tomorrow due to earthquake issues. Here's the preview though:

Over the weekend, Angela Simmons, along with her sister Vanessa (and a few of their friends) headed to Las Vegas to promote their Pastry brand and for some fun. WORK. Folks on twitter get annoyed with all of her bikini and beach twitpics--but when you work your ass off to have a body like this, wouldn't you? Angela's BFF Emichi was also along for the fun. Looks like good times...
