WHO RAN IT? Joy Bryant Vs. Gabrielle Union In Missoni

Posted: 30 Oct 2011 08:47 AM PDT

Uh oh.......two fab YBF chicks recently stepped out in the same Missoni dress and now we have to settle the battle....Who Ran It!? Decide inside if Joy Bryant rocked her gown better than Gabrielle Union......

We told you earlier that Gabrielle Union turned heads in Beverly Hills as attended the 2011 Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award Ceremony in L.A. (October 23) to honor supermodel Iman.  For the event, the glam actress donned a "peachy" zig-zag hombre styled Fall 2011 Missoni dress with a plunging neckline.  

Then.......model Joy Bryant rocked a very similar version of the same gown in May when she attended the Costume Institute Gala.  But unlike Gabby's summery version of the gown, Joy's had sleeves.

Both women looked fab, but there can only be one winner.

 

So.......................

 

 

 

WHO RAN IT?
 

 

 

Angela And Vanessa Simmons SHAKE IT UP At Millions Of Milkshakes

Posted: 30 Oct 2011 06:06 AM PDT

Over the weekend, Vanessa and Angela Simmons created their own milkshakes at Millions Of Milkshakes.  See photos of the "whipped cream fun".....

Saturday, Pastry owners Vanessa and Angela Simmons created signature milkshakes at Millions Of Milkshakes in West Hollywood, California. 

 

Vanessa wore a pink and green top with black tights and some killer platforms.

Meanwhile, Angela paid homage to Mickey Mouse with her cute top.

The fab sisters didn't waste anytime getting busy in the kitchen.

Earlier in the day, Angela tweeted,

Who's going to meet me at millions of milkshakes in west hollyood today at 1 to 4 pm today ? Come out and support a good cause! :)

And they worked well together as they created the "A La Pastry" shake.

This name was chosen by one of their twitter followers who submitted the name to the “Name that Shake” campaign.

The tasty creation includes cookie dough, vanilla protein, non-dairy ice cream, whipped cream, oreos and chocolate syrup.
 

A portion of Angela and Vanessa’s milkshake sales will benefit the ASPCA Association by raising funds and awareness for the organization.   

Looks delicious!

STROLLIN': Christina Milian & Baby Violet Take A Ride In L.A.

Posted: 29 Oct 2011 10:20 AM PDT

Christina Milian took her baby girl Violet out for a stroll in L.A.  Cute pics of the twosome stolling around, plus deets on Christina's new job, inside...

 

The now officially divorced Ms. Milian is taking all her time possible now and spending it with 1-year-old Violet.  She ran some errands in L.A. this week while strolling V around.  Chris just nabbed a job as the brand new Social Media Correspondent for NBC's hit competition show "The Voice."  She's replacing Alison Haislip.

“Christina’s extensive musical background and widespread recognition make her the perfect choice for the role of Social Media Correspondent on The Voice,” said NBC’s president of alternative programming Paul Telegdy. “Her experience as a singer will provide a comfort level to our artists when they speak to her about the ins and outs of the competition.”

That Violet is just too precious!

The Randomness:

1.  Kelly Rowland is being replaced by Alexandra Burke as a judge for tonight's live "X-Factor" show in the UK due to being ill.  But some sources are syaing it's really because she had a bust up with fellow judge Tulisa Contostavlos. Story
