Whitney has recruited a new member to her Crackish Ways Club! Introducing Ray J. There are rumors that these two kids have been spotted in several outings alone with each other. Eew, Whitney is old and worn out, why Ray J.? Why? I hope it's not true!
Diana appeared on the Letterman show with her son Evan. I don't know if he was on the show or just backstage, but obviously he has not gotten the memo. What is going on with the T3 look? He looks like the missing nephew out of the Jacksons.

What the hell is all that about? Beyonce wasn't that damn bad!Jay Z and his faux dog fur???
A jacket from Jigga's clothing line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it's advertised as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar. (source)
Jay Z and Bee are definitely two peas in a pod-both getting in trouble because of animal fur. But my goodness Jigga, dog fur? That's just disturbing, it makes me think about the Fido's and Scruffy's all over the world.
Ella Fitzgerald is the new face on new Black Heritage stamp
With Black History Month less than a month away, be on the lookout for the new Black Heritage stamp from the US Postal service featuring the late great Ella Fitzgerald . It was announced on Wednesday, January 10, 2007 at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, NY...
“The Postal Service is proud to celebrate the life and legacy of Ella Fitzgerald,” said Vice President and Consumer Advocate Delores Killette, who will dedicate the stamp. “Her magnificent voice combined with her gift of pitch made her a remarkable 20th century legend. This stamp is a powerful reminder of her extraordinary contribution to the world of music.” (source)Ella has won 13 Grammy awards, was presented with the National Medal of Arts by Ronald Regan in 1987, and was inducted in the Jazz Hall of Fame at Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2005.
Here are just some pics from the Stomp the Yard premiere. I will wait on the DVD!
"Nasty" Neyo with his date, hopefully not one of his dancers, Paula
Leading man, Columbus Short w/ his date
Kenya Moore looking like royalty in that dress!
Evan Ross *side note- Although he is dressed very well with his plaid shearling, and he is the brother of my favorite girl Tracee Elliss Ross, I always felt "how you doin?" vibes coming from him. He always has that soft Micheal Jackson smile on his face.
Gabi and MeaganOnly in New York can you make a cool trend off of automated food vending machines. As I was walking with some friends down the popular St. Marks street on the lower eastside of downtown Manhattan, I came across an interesting storefront called BAMN. At first glance, I mistaked it for a Japanese toy store and quickly realized that these vending machines were filled with hot and ready to eat food. All I had to do was drop a few dollars in the slot, and BAMN! Here is my evening snack.
If you are ever in New York, just check it out. I don't reccommend the food because I have never eaten here and I am not a fan of my food coming out of a vending machine. I could just go to my local Mickey D's for that. But none the less, the marketing and design of the store was very eyecatching and kind of cool.
Enjoy!
Snoop Has Documentary about his Life on FX
Snoop lets us into his past life by teaming up with documentary filmmaker Gabriel London to visit California's juvenile detention facility, Youth Authority where Snoop spent some time in his teenage years. Page Six reports that, "In one scene, he's brought to tears when he meets with a young gang member who calls himself "Lil' Tookie" (after one of Snoop's closest friends, deceased Tookie Williams). Snoop also takes the film crew to the place where he once allowed a group of Crips to beat him up so he could join the gang."
The documentary airs on Jan. 16 on FX if you're interested in seeing another former gang member tell his story of hard times yet again. It's also very unfortunate to know that a young man is calling himself "Lil Tookie," why on earth is one of our nation's youth looking up to a man who perpetuated the cycle of gang violence and ignorance? So sad, so so sad. I don't care if Tookie was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, he still contributed to the deaths of many innocent people-by no means should a young boy idolize or glorify that.
With so many designers and so little time. I picked my two favorite high-end American designers for this month: Luca Luca and Naeem Khan 
Any true friend of mine knows that my heart melts when I come across any flirty skirts or dresses with pockets. Luca Luca along with Chloe, usually never fails for me when it comes to fun dresses and skirts.
Lux for the fine fabrics and tailoring......
Lavish because wherever you're going in any of these decked out pieces, it has to be the event of the year....
And rich for the eye-popping hues and dazzling embellishments!!If you are wondering where Nia has been, look no more. She's on the cover of Essence magazine. Check her out in this month's latest issue where Long speaks out about her relationships and future film deputs.
By the way, I love what Essence is doing with the images and style of their mag. It looks very fashionable and not so Fashion Fair anymore. Ebony should catch on quick!
Lil' Kim. Everytime I get a glimpse of her or even hear about her, all I can ask myself is what kind of company does she keep? She never really looks quite right, ever. Very spooky looking if you ask me!
Tina Knowles as stylist for NJ Nets Dancers
Since hip hop mogul Jay-Z is an owner of the NJ Jets, I guess it comes as no surprise that when in search for a new stylist for the NJ Nets Dancers, Mrs. Tina was up for the job. I'm sure she got an excellent recommendation from The Jigga Man himself. This will be interesting, I wonder how these uniforms are going to look...I'm thinking the tattered costumes in the beach scene of the "Survivor" video meets basketball jersey dress. source
(shot from new Nas video "Can't Forget about You" f. Chrisette Michelle)I just want to know...
1. Even though I'm not a fan of silly songs like "Chain Hang Low" by Jibbs, Is Hip-Hop really dead? Can't there just be two different types of hip-hop music...Good and just plain old wack hip hop? If you think about it, the good Hip-Hop makes the wack Hip-Hop even more wack!
2. When is Omarion going to cut his hair? The braids are looking a little spooky. You're 21 now buddy, grow up!
3. Did they really have to hang Saddam right before the new year? What a morbid way to start out the new year...
4. Shouldn't Beyonce be disqualified from the best actress category instead of the song category at the Oscars? Just seems a little backwards...
5. Who cares if Ashanti and Nelly are engaged? The real question is when are Bee & Jay getting married?! Nelshanti just isn't as interesting!
Tyra, Tyra. When you have to settle for a one peice "Star Jones" bathing suit, that means it's time for you to seek some canceling for your situation rather than give unwanted advice on your show!
Fanny, just stop this madness. Lookin' like a sweaty and smelly mess. Kiss that Jaime Fox!
Keish! Fire your stylist, ASAP!! PLEASE!!
