Little Girl Steals The Show
Ok... dammit I'm jealous!!! This makes no sense that this baby can do all of this flipping and splittin and I can't even do a damn cart wheel!
N.O.R.E Commits To Veganism (Is that a word?)
I am so happy to see so many of the fluffier rappers in the game deciding to turn the page on being Chubb Rockers. Joining the ranks of Timbaland and David Banner on the weight loss kick is New York rapper N.O.R.E.Ya'll remember last year when dude resurfaced and he was on hella fat boy status? Well he's since lost an amazing 65 pounds and is documenting his weight loss via a 12 part Vlog on 57thAve.WordPress.com, which is his website.
The Puerto Rican papi has adopted a strict vegan diet and exercise regiment into his daily routine. Although he has lost the weight and his changing his eating habits, not much else is changing about N.O.R.E. "We are switching it up from the Hang Hang Hood Chicken blogs, to the Hang Hang Hood Vegan blogs. Same N.O.R.E., same hood talk," he said. He has since began running and is committed to a pretty hardcore workout. I'm not sure if he's doing this because it's the healthy thing to do since he was at his heaviest weight in July at 310, or if he's doing it because he's got a bet going on with fellow NY rapper Busta Rhymes, who was himself is a few double stack cheeseburgers away from tub-o-lard status. Whatever the reasons, it's still a good thing to do and I'm glad that he's doing it. But N.O.R.E. does say that this new health kick is part of his new years resolution and he says that he's giving up the drank too! "Still haven't had a drink," he confessed.
Stay up to date with N.O.R.E. at 57thAve.WordPress.com.

Teyana Taylor Goes Blonde!
So Ms. Teen President, Teyana Taylor has gotten a little bit of blonde ambition and died her hair yesterday!!! Wow. Ya'll know that I love this girls b-girl style, but, I can't say that I'm feeling this look on her. She says that she's loving it right now, so I guess we'll see how long it lasts. I just want to see how it's going to look when she wears it all big and fluffy like she normally does. What do you guys think? Hit or Miss on this?

Kanye West Displays His New Louis Vuitton Shoe!
"TIME TO CRASH YOUR INTERNET SERVER.... HERE'S 1 OF THE 6 DESIGN'S I DID FOR LOUIE... SAMPLED IN WHITE" is the title for this post on Kanye Wests Blog. Remember back in early December when I did a post about Kanye wanting to intern for a fashion designer? I guess he's finally gone and done it. But designing a shoe isn't interning is it? I guess Kanye can do whatever the hell he wants! I actually like this shoe though. Pretty sporty in the Yacht Club of the Month kind of way!Purse Obsession~ Christian Louboutin Sylvia Drapey Hobo
Forget all my hopes and dreams of marrying a man! I have found my true love... in the Christian Louboutin Sylvia Drapey Hobo bag. If you are one of our avid reader of this blog, then you know that I try my damndest to bring you the hottest bags. Some of you say that I'm missing the mark... while others think that I'm spot on! It don't even matter right about now because this bag right here is da -ish! Christian Louboutin has always gotten a stamp of fashion excellence from me, so this choice is no surprise. The soft calf leather in a slouchy circular design compliments the golden twine handle. The color is nice, but I'm hoping that he offers more choices. The bag features of course, the signature satin lining, topstitched trim, double zip top closure, outside and inside zip pockets, and a 14" shoulder drop. SAKS is now taking pre-orders for the bag which is running a cool $1795.
Fashion Must & Must Not's For 2009!!!!
Since it is the beginning of a new year, and a new era in our nations history, that has inspired many of us in the realms of hope and change. Most of you have created your list of new years resolutions ranging from losing that excess weight, cutting back on/stopping smoking, to managing your finances a little better, or even getting more spiritually connected with who ever it is that deem the Most High. All of those things are fine and dandy, but let us not forget about those of you "fashionably challenged" folks out there. Some of you need some serious help. I ain't talkin psychological either. You have to remember that you don't know who you'll bump in to out on the street. Let's be real folks; we've all slipped up and fallen victim to the fashion police at least once or twice in our lives by stepping out of the house looking like something that just rolled up out from under the bed, so yes... we all need a little bit of fashion help sometimes. we all need to take a few lessons from the book of style. That's why I've comprised a list of Fashion Must and Must Not's for the new year!
Must Not... wear leggings as pants, baring your cellulite riden ass for the whole world to see! Instead, pair leggings with casual dresses, or tunic-length shirts and sweaters. Enjoy the trend, but tastefully and in moderation.
Must Not... show panty lines, thongs, bra straps, or any other undergarments for that matter. Be a lady, and keep such personal information to yourself.
Must Not... buy clothing that you know is too damn small, under the pretense of losing weight to fit into it. Money spent today should be able to be used today. Besides, it’s not about the number or size on the garment, but rather the way it fits your body and makes you feel. A comfy 14 beats a too-tight 10 any day!
Must Not.... spend beyond your fashionable means. Meaning... don't go for broke trying to buy those $500 bag you been eyeing for the last few months. Heeeelloooo... it's been the last few months... so ummm... that means you can't afford them no way! Purchasing the hottest new “it” bag means nothing if you can’t afford to go out and be seen sporting it, or if it will make the rent or car note past due. A Birkin bag may be fly, but you sure can’t live in it!
Must... experiment fearlessly with bright colors and bold accessories. Spice up a simple black ensemble with a pair of turquoise flats, for example, or a stack of beaded bangles.
Must Not... fall victim to the trends, allowing the magazines and designers to dictate everything you wear and every piece you buy. Be yourself and wear what makes you feel most comfortable. Embrace your individuality!
Must Not... wear shoes and boots with leaned heels. Walking sideways is soooo not sexy!
Must Not... assume that we all are “Sasha Fierce.” Yes we all have fierce alter egos within us, but that doesn’t mean that we should show up at the club in a leotard or one piece with some pumps on! STOP THE MADNESS!
Must... understand the importance of appearance and how everything from your hair, makeup and the wrong accessories can destroy a great look. Make sure everything ties together PLEASE!
Must... always take one good look at themselves in the mirror from head to toe before heading out the door. Whether it’s off to work, a date with a babe, the club, school, etc., for the next 365 days make sure it’s a look that isn’t going to garner you those side-eye stares. The goal is to just be you!
Movie Trailer~ Notorious
Ok... why am I hearing people saying crap like they're taking off of work, or skipping school that day just to go see this movie??? Did I miss something? Did they announce that it's only showing at two o'clock ONLY or something? Gimme a break dude!!!
Victoria's Secret Goes From Pink To Black!
Everyone worldwide knows about the infamous lingerie giant, Victoria's Secret. And if you haven't been sleeping under a rock for the past few years, you would also know about their line of collegiate inspired wear called PINK. The youthful line boasts lounge wear like yoga pants, sweats, and hoodies, which are often printed with names of colleges and universities or the word "Pink" emblazoned on the ass, which is my least favorite thing. It's long overdue that the lingerie line offer up a collection for all of the HBCU students that peruse their stores just like the PAC-10, or Big 12 students. Well... that time has come. Vicki's has added an HBCU collection, which features pieces advertising FAMU, Howard University, North Carolina A&T, and Southern University. Looking to show off your HBCU school spirit with some of Pink's signature looks? The items range in price from $34.50 to $78 and are available at Victoria'sSecret.com
FAMU Yoga Pant, $34.50
Daily Eargasm: Beyonce~ Halo

Name That...
Lacefront Wig??? Who does this one belong to? She's a naughty girl who's baby boy leaves her speechless! Eaaaaaasy!

Look... I don't know if chick was just walking across the room and for real about munchin down a whole box of KFC by herself, or was the hand reaching out from the side trying to get a piece and she gave them the eye previous to the pic being snapped, or if she was just advertising this ghetto fab hair do. Either way, it's PURE D FOOLISHNESS!

Lil Wayne Coming Out With All Rock Album?
These rappers are killin me with this crossover crap! Stick to what you're good at. I guess when you've got a few milli in the bank, you can take a break from the norm and just dick around with your livelihood huh? I guess so according to Lil Wayne's next project. Rapper Drake revealed recently that Lil Wayne's latest project will be a rock album. "Wayne's coming out with a new album, it's a rock album," said Drake in an interview with MuchMusic.com. "A complete rock album. I have a song on there."
The rapper likened the project to Kanye West's latest project. "It’s something different in just that whole 808s and Heartbreaks, just throwing individuals off." Yeaaaaaaah... I won't be rushing to Best Buy to cop that one... EVER!
New York's Birthday Bash... Not A Celeb In Da House Either! Wonder Why?
The chick that I hate the most in reality t.v., Tiffany “New York” Pollard celebrated her 
Barack Does Comics Too!
I swear... this past election of President-Elect, Barack Obama, has brought out the best in everyone... aaaand the worst, but we won't focus on that. B.O. will be featured in a special Inauguration Day edition of Spider-Man. Barack has long admitted to that he has been a fan for a long time of the comic book series and when the folks over at Marvel heard this revelation, they decided to add the new Pres as a character in an upcoming issue. The issue is said to be a bonus in Marvel Comic's Amazing Spider-Man #583, which will be available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out... YA THINK?, with half the covers devoted to Obama.
Ya'll can't tell me nothin else about this dude! He's beyond the greatest it don't make no sense!
CJ Wallace Rocks Da Bells!
Accompanied by his grandmother, Voletta Wallace, the son of slain hip hop rapper Notorious B.I.G., Christopher Wallace, Jr. (CJ) was given the opportunity yesterday to ring the The NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City, NY. I see he's going to look faaaaaaaaar better than his "big poppa" did! I'm just sayin! But dammit if he isn't the spitting image of him.
A Big F-U From Ne-Yo... To U!
I guess Kanye isn't the only "kid" that can throw one hell of a bitch fit because another "kid" on da block, Ne-Yo, left all of you adoring fans out there and you haters a nice little message on his myspace blog today. Why he felt the need to address these issues now after months, and years, is beyond me. Check it out:One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially.
Pardon my french, but what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me??
Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke.Y’all REALLY took that serious!?!
I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed.
The whole gay thing. For goodness sake it’s been 4 years!!!! Y’all still on that huh? The whole “boys” song, and the song “go over there”. See this is what happens when people steal. These songs were clearly written for women. Had you been patient, you would have heard them the way they were supposed to be heard, with the voice of the intended artist on em’. But noooo, someone gets a hold of these demos and suddenly everybody forgets that I write songs for women. Riiight.
I tell People Magazine thatYoung Jeezy’s crib is right next to mine and that once I saw him in there from across the way. I then make a JOKE about him maybe not wanting to walk around naked in his crib with the shades up cause the buildings are THAT close to each other, and that AIN’T something I care to see. Suddenly, everybody thinks I said I saw Young Jeezy in his crib naked when, NEVER ONCE did I say anything like that.
I mean come on people. Is this really what you’re gonna spend time on??Will you not be satisfied until I truly become this asshole you so desperately want me to look like??
Here’s my stand on the whole thing:
I’m NOT gay, I’m NOT prejudice to anyone, I DID NOT get stomped out by Jim Jones or anyone else, I’m NOT engaged, I’M NOT STUPID.And to anyone that INSISTS on thinking that any of these things are true……FUCK YOU.To the haters….find some new material please!!! It’s 2009, our president is black!!! Time for change.To everyone else……I love you to death, thanx for all your support.WE PLATINUM ROUND HERE!!!!!
Much love, and see you at the grammy’s. Check the suit…..it’s gonna be TROUBLE!!!
The Video Girls Get Their Time In The Spotlight
Well I'll be D.A.M.N. The video girls are finally getting more than their 15 minutes of fame. Although, I think the world could really do without it, but who am I?
A new Hip-Hop themed series is coming to E! Entertainment titled Candy Girls, which will focus on women in rap music videos. The 30-minute show, which is labeled a “docu-soap,” centers around aspiring and established female actresses who work for an agency, which casts the potential models in the videos. E! ordered eight episodes of Candy Girls, which will air Sunday nights at 10:30 PM, immediately following the premiere of the third season of “Keeping up with the Kardashians.”
“In order to reach the career pinnacle of appearing in ‘A-list’ music videos and gain access to the world of superstars, private jets and exclusive parties, you need to be able to play the game as well as you look,” said E! in a press release about the series. “Musicians need to live their image and that includes surrounding themselves with the beautiful women who are so often featured in their videos at all times. However, like runway models, these women know they need to get in early and make their money fast before time takes away the looks that make them so successful.”
Kanye's On One So Damn Hard
Oooook Kanye! What the hell are you talking about dude??? Sad to say, I think this boy is on that -ish! No joke. First he's comparing himself to Jesus, then he's exercising demons out of his home, and now... now he wants less fans? Yeah, that's how you do it. Kanye is on the February cover of Vibe mag. Now, I'm loving his 808’s and Heartbreak cd, but damn. Get ya mind right Kan. And who the hell wants to see him naked? NOT I! I've seen dude shirtless and sweaty on the bball court and it wasn't a pretty visual! Check out what he had to say about possibly posing nude for a mag:
“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”
Is It Me Or...
Is my ex-husband Mekhi Phifer getting a little pudgy in the face and around the middle? I'm just sayin! Anyways, Mekhi and his baby mama (fiance') Oni, were spotted out and about yesterday in L.A.
Lisa Bonet Explains Her Babies Name!!!
We already know chick is hella "off", so the naming of her new baby boy should be of no surprise to anyone.
Lisa and her husband, actor Jason Momoa welcomed a baby boy around the end of December and really mucked this child up for the rest of his life! I'm serious... I know because I got a name that ain't too damn far from his! Anyways, the couple named their son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.
Check out their explanation as to why they gave the baby this name given via dear old grandma:
“He was born on the stormiest, rainy night,” Jason’s mother wrote on the proud papa’s official site message board, adding that the weather influenced the lengthy name.
“Nakoa (warrior)… Mana (strength/spirit) Kaua (rain) po (dark)…,” she wrote. “The [first] name was always going to be Nakoa-Wolf.” The name is pronounced Na-Ko-Ah Wolf Mana-Ka-Ooh-Ah-Po Namma-Kay-Ah-Ha Mo-Moa, according to a Hawaiian source that told Access Hollywood. Whatev!
