News: World AIDS Day

December 1st is World AIDS Day

Sport your red ribbons, donate, but most importantly GET TESTED. We, at Vanity Pages must do our part by spreading the word and you must do your part by knowing your status to prevent spreading a disease. We are losing too many of us to this disease all because of our own carelessness and selfishness. Vanity Pages celebrates the idea of being vain enough to stay healthy and make healthy choices-you do the same!

Kanye, What the F?



Kanye West was spotted at the Fendi Party in Tokyo sporting the Fendi logo shaved into his head. (tmz.com)
This look can go very wrong for so many reasons. I get the idea. I am sure Kanye got some kind of payment out of this "ghetto" promotion for Fendi, and if he didn't, then that's just unfortunate. I can see all the boys, starting in Harlem, and then trickling down to the southern regions, rocking this barbershop favorite. Personally, I would not put any logo on my head that I do not reserve all rights to. Kanye should follow suit of every other rapper, get his own clothing line (if he doesn't already have one), and sport his own logo on his head. I would still be disappointed, but at least it is self promoting.










Paying Homage to the Child of a Diva

First of all. As a soon to be fashion icon myself, I just have to bow down and give tons of props to Tracee Ellis Ross. I can say, she is one of my new fashion idols. I feel that she is the most underrated fashionista in the game. Forget, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica, Sienna Miller, and all the Rachel Zoe's (because she basically styles her clients like herself, so I guess Lindsay would be in the Zoe group). I feel that it is time to give props where props are due. Tracee not only has natural beauty and style, but she has real experience. Before she became an actress, she was a contributing fashion and style editor. We all know that Tracee kills them on "Girlfriends" and everywhere else. Effortless!

We should also try to take a look at Kelly sometimes!

A little icon in the making

I know we love to look at Beyonce, and I am sure she loves for all eyes to be on her, but Kelly is another "Betty" to not overlook. Time and time again, I will catch some fierceness going on in the Kelly Camp, and I am not sure why we don't stop and catch the breath of freshness that she is!

A New Image that I like for Now, but I might feel could possibly be Corny by next week. What do you think?

I'm hip to it. I feel that for now, it is a great look for Gwen as far as style-wise and promoting her new album. I have seen this before, but not executed this well,(think Kelis). Ummm, I like it alot. I love the "Givenchy-esq" belt.
Very Michelle Phifer in Scarface. And her hubby don't look too bad. I hope they stay together.

Entertainment News: 50 Cent vs. Oprah, Suge Knight, BeBe Moore Campbell & KKKramer

Chump Change: Yet again, 50 Cent Blasts Oprah


It seems that a lot of angry rappers still have issues with Oprah. "Oprah Winfrey is really an Oreo– black on the outside, but white on the inside", according to 50 Cent.
I'm not going to get deep into it, but 50 is talking about how she started with black women's views and now she has been catering to middle-aged white women for so long that she has become white herself -stated in the 2007 Jan of Elle, WHAT!

I sometimes have my issues with Lady "O", but Micheal Jackson actually turned himself into a white women and 50 was nowhere for comment. Why hate on one of the wealthiest women in the world, who just happens to be of African descent? 50 cent's name speaks for itself. Oprah is a recognized billionaire. You be the judge!! We gotta stop hating on each other. Let's hate on trigger-happy cops who continue to shoot and kill young and innocent African Americans. Hate on that!





Big Suge: He will always be our "D-BO"

In PageSix, Suge calls Snoop a crybaby. In response to the Snoop arrest, Suge states, "Snoop has never been in a real fight. When there's trouble, he runs to the police. He throws up and starts crying."

I don't understand why Suge just can't let it go. Every person in America is scared as hell of him. He knows it, and we know it. I don't blame Snoop for not wanting to go to prison, he's as skinny as crow's foot. What can he really do in prison? Rap his way out of a situation! 1, 2, 3 and to tha fo'... I know that was corny, but it's my blog, I say what I feel


Mel Gibson feels bad for Michael "Kramer" Richards

(NY Daily News, Nov. 30)Michael Richards may still be reeling from public reaction to his racist rant at a comedy club, but he should know he's not alone. Mel Gibson feels his pain.

"I felt like sending Michael Richards a note," Gibson says in an interview in Entertainment Weekly's Dec.8 issue. "I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy."

Richards, best known as kooky neighbor Kramer on "Seinfeld," has publicly apologized for screaming racial slurs at black audience members who heckled his Nov. 17 act at a Hollywood comedy club.

"They'll probably torture him for a while and then let him go," the "Braveheart" actor said. "I like him." full story

If you ask me, his career is OVER-Michael Richards will forever be known as "Kramer" and the guy that had a racist rant on stage at a comedy club. Stick a fork in him he's DONE!

Gossip

It's No Secret

Carmen Bryan was on the Wendy Williams show yesterday to discuss her new book It's No Secret. This book discusses her relationship with Nas as his Baby Mama and her former relationship with Jay-Z. On the Wendy Williams show Bryan discussed her bout with STD's, her abusive relationship with Nas and her alleged "natural abortion". Of course Wendy made her sound foolish, although Carmen tried to portray herself as very innocent. I listen to Wendy Williams everyday and I watch her show every week so I am looking forward to seeing The Wendy Williams Experience on VH-1 so I can actually see those crazy faces that Wendy makes.

If you have read the book, let us know what you think!

Oh yeah, our boy Jewrel did Carmen's make up on the cover of the book-she looks great, excellent job boy!



Diddy in TV version of "A Raisin in the Sun"???





Diddy is playing the Sidney Poitier role, Walter Lee Younger in the TV movie A Raisin in the Sun. He played the same role in the Broadway production and received poor reviews-critics say that the 'D' the 'I' the 'D' was "simply not up to the roles considerable demands" (tmz.com)

I must say, playing a role that Sidney Poitier put his stamp on is definitely a huge act to follow, however there has to be other well trained actors that are (for lack of a better word) better than Puffy for the role. Sorry Diddy, I admire your business mind and all but you don't have to be in EVERYTHING!

Naomi Campbell Cleaning Streets!!

Naomi Campbell Doesn't Want To Clean Streets, Aw Too Bad!!

Naomi Campbell is desperate to avoid being forced to sweep the streets of New York City as a community service sentence for allegedly throwing a mobile phone at her former maid. The supermodel's lawyer David Breitbart is currently attempting to resolve the assault charge hanging over Campbell with a plea bargain following claims from ex-aide Ana Scolavino.
Community service is a likely outcome, but Campbell is determined not to carry out the sentence.

The judge set a new hearing for Jan. 16, when Campbell could either accept a plea deal or possibly be charged with second-degree assault Facing 7 years

She is thought to be keen on carrying out fundraising for AIDS research instead.( Fundraising, Are you serious) New York Courts are serious, Remember Martha, and little Kim. Naomi, Get serious here they will put you away.

Breitbart, who represented Campbell at Manhattan Criminal Court, said at the end of the hearing he was considering a plea offer: "If there's something palatable, (something palatable, hmm, Whatever!!) we'll talk about it."

Hustle Man and Snoop Diggity Dogg Arrested


According to People Magazine Tracy Morgan of Saturday Night Live and former actor on the hit 1990's series Martin who played the character "Hustle Man" was arrested on Tuesday morning in Manhattan for drunk driving. Sources say that Tracy has violated a 3-year parole which he was awarded last December again for DRUNK DRIVING!

Morgan fessed up to downing a couple of beers and after taking a breath analyzer test, he was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.10 which exceeded the 0.08 limit. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of operation of a motor vehicle during intoxication and during impairment due to alcohol and one of reckless driving. Later on, Tracy was arraigned and released without bail after having his drivers license revoked.

What ever happened to friends not letting friends drive drunk? You're not excluded from that rule just because you have a fatter wallet!

SNOOP! YOU ARE TOO OLD TO GET IN TROUBLE, AGAIN!

The 35 year old rapper was arrested on Tuesday near Los Angeles on weapons and narcotics charges after performing at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Sources say that the Burbank Police Department issued a search warrant on Snoop and his entourage as they were leaving the NBC studio. (tmz.com)

Once searched they found the sticky icky ooh wee, cocaine, and on top of all of that, a hand gun! He was booked and released on a $65,000 bail pending a hearing on December 12. Oh, Calvin! Enough is enough. You are too old for this.

Friends Again, Back To "The Simple Life"

Are You Surprised!!

The one-year feud between former best friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie appears to be over
A Hilton insider claims to People that trouble began when Richie, annoyed she wasn't asked to co-host "Saturday Night Live" with Paris in February, arranged a viewing party for the episode, only instead of showing "SNL," she screened her co-star's sex video.

Richie's reps dismiss the allegation, but the Hilton mole tells the mag,
"Paris was very hurt."

Sometimes we fallout with our bestfriends. Besides If it wasn't for Paris and "The simple life "would we know anything about Nicole Richie?

What does she do again? I forget.

Montgomery's Designs

Montgomery Harris, known simply as Montgomery. Featured in (several times) ESSENCE, New York Times, Vogue and just to name a few. She has opened a self-named boutique in Harlem. The store's intimate decor brilliantly showcases one-of-a-kind pieces that mix the traditional and the untraditional. Says the self-described arts-and-crafts enthusiast of her designs, which range from $50 to $3,000, "Whether I'm making a couture gown or a casual top, each garment is a labor of love."

Boo! to Bobby

As it turns out the new feature film Bobby, directed by Emilio Estevez has been reported by Page Six to be, well let's say "not so good". The movie is about the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. It's too bad, with a great cast including Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Fishburne, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Sharon Stone, Helen Hunt, Martin Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood one would think that the movie would actually be worth paying $8.50 at the theater. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised-as soon as I saw Nick Cannon in the trailer wearing a ridiculous looking half-fro and glasses, I knew that the movie had the potential to be just a little corny.

Pamela Anderson Files for Divorce

More of Britney in these tired outfits! I can't look anymore

Lets start off with Britney and her new hommie Paris. They have been hittin' the west-side streets pretty hard this past week. I really wanted her comeback to be something special, like how I'm routing for Whitney, but Britney just kicks her own self in the damn foot. What in the horrendous Hell inspired these outfits? and Paris knows how vulnerable Britney is, Why didn't she tell her about herself before she stepped out of the house lookin' a hot mess all four times? Paris is the best! She's like, "let this dummy look crazy if she wants, Free Publicity for Me!!"


















Side note>>if you check real closely, ya girl Britney has on no pants, showing the goods with her fishnets, while smoking a cigarette. Just a mess!!


Britney and her CUNextTuesday
Hey Britney!
Your...how can I say this? I think you forgot to...ummm,
GIRL WHERE ARE YOUR PANTIES???? Goodness!

Nothing more to say! I'm done with this chick.





*BRITNEY is OFFICIALLY BANNED from VANITY PAGES*
she has embarrassed herself far too many times in one week-we can no longer give her any more attention. BYE BYE BRITNEY!

Who told Trina it was o.k. to get Lil Wayne's name tattooed on her wrist, Who told?

Jennifer steals Beyonce's shine? RIGHT!

My friend called me about this. She heard on the radio that supposedly Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson had a falling out due to the fact that Jennifer has been getting a little more attention than Beyonce. Supposedly they could not walk in together at the premier of Dreamgirls. They were not speaking to each other at all during the premier. JENNIFER LOOKS GREAT AND ALL, AND AS TALENTED AS SHE IS, SHE WILL NEVER CREATE A "BUZZ" LIKE A Bee CAN (THAT'S BEE for BEYONCE)! You know B is all about her shine!
