SUMMER DAYS

Now that the weather is warming up, the celebs are venturing out into the world. Ms. Nicole Richie took Harlow Winter out for a stroll in LA the other day:I'm really impressed with Nicole's parenting. She still gets out, but she also seems to be spending a sufficient amount of time with her daughter.

A CHECK IS A CHECK

My cup runnet over Sunday night! I somehow missed it in the local newspaper, but my supervisor at work quickly pointed it out to me. What am i talking about you say?Well, i am a student at Lambuth University in Jackson, TN (stalkers not welcome), and one of our cross town rivals, the HBCU Lane College, just nabbed the one, the only STAR-A JONES as their commencement speaker!This news quickly shot rounds of laughter throughout my place of work. At least Star is out there putting in some work, making that money. [insert side eye]According to the Jackson Sun, "Tickets are not required, and the public is invited to attend the ceremony, according to Lane College officials."WHAT!?! I'm thinking about going paparazzi on Raisin Bran Jones. How much do y'all think photos from the commencement could fetch me? Like $12 or something? Let me know in the comments- [source]

SOMETHING FOR YOUR ALTER CALL
2008-04-13 05:35:00
I hope this post gets to some of my readers before you guys head off to your respective places of worship tomorrow. Daily Mail caught up with Amy Winehouse over the weekend as she was headed to the recording studio.The good news,...chick looks mad determined. Either she was ready to record a great song, or somebody was about to catch a beat down. Still, i think Wino is on that white stuff again, because her crack-head figure is back in full effect. I mean look at those legs, and y'all know she had to make another hole for that belt.If you will, place her name at the altar, and while you're there, you may as well pencil me in too.

CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSTLE
2008-04-11 06:18:00
I'm a bit late on Diddy's latest venture, so excuse my bitchassness. The mogul is taking over MTV this week with both a documentary and a competition show centered around his Sean Jean fashion label. In the documentary, If I Were King, "after not showing at Fashion Week for five years, Diddy and the Sean John team rush to create a new collection that will shock the fashion industry." [source] Watch below if you are interested. I actually loved the documentary. You get to see Diddy's true self, instead of the guy from MTB:MTVMusic VideosMTV ShowsEntertainment NewsTune in on Saturday to watch The Sean Jean Intern Challenge. On the show, four design students compete for a change to win a summer internship with the company. The judges for the competition are designer Zac Posen, stylist Marni Senofonte, stylist June Ambrose, and Diddy. You may not like Diddy, but you can not knock this man's hustle.

THE RETURN
2008-04-09 17:26:00
Instead of making a big impact on the charts with his 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller, it looks like Michael Jackson will be making a big impact on our wardrobes once again. Fashion trends are cyclical, right? It seems that his famous "Thriller" jacket is making a comeback. Usher was seen wearing a thriller-inspired jacket on TRL, and Rihanna will be sporting one in her upcoming video for "Take a Bow." Are you guys going to go out and buy a new-age thriller jacket? Or do you still have that one in the closet from back in the day?

SOLANGE UPDATE
2008-04-09 01:14:00
Singer Solange Knowles has posted new promotional pictures on her Myspace page. The singer has also confirmed that the first single from her album Hadley Street Dreams will indeed be "I Decided." The Pharrell produced track leaked a few weeks ago and took a while to grow on me, but i like the "Supremes" vibe she has on it. The version that is on her myspace differers from the leak, so definatley go check out the final cut of "I Decided." There is still no word on the album release date, but hopefully she will be releasing more info in the weeks to come.For those of us pondering the title of her album, Hadley Street Dreams, the street address of Music World Entertainment (her father's record label) is 1505 Hadley Street. Houston, TX 77002. So i am assuming that this is part of the reason that she titled her album as such. I can't wait to get my hands on Solo's eclectic new album. What say you guys about the new picture?

HIP HOP TRENDS FOR THE INNER REBEL
2008-04-08 07:43:00
Diamonds are a favorite with celebrities. In the past celebrities have had fun with diamonds in grills, worn by Flavor Flav, and shoe bars, but now some are sporting diamond dress pins and buttons. Jay-Z, was spotted wearing these newest of accessories at the 50th annual Grammy awards. The women also got in on the act with the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna both wearing bold, diamond jewelry, cuffs. Rough loose diamonds are also being made into jewelry items, which add a bit of primal delight to some very classic occasions. Alicia Keys wore a 36.33 set of rough diamond earrings to the Grammys. At the Oscars, Nicole Kidman made a big splash with her nearly 1400-carat rough and polished diamond necklace. Celebrity trends are coming down to the average person who wishes to emulate successful people. Hip hop jewelry is one market that continues to attract attention, even if the buyer has a small budget. There are multiple items in hip hop that are fun to wear. Things like lighted LED bu...

I must admit that Michelle is looking quite fine in these photos; i love the edgier, darker look. I'm disappointed that the first single is "Break the Dawn " instead of "Stop This Car," but i'll take what i can get:According to her website, "Break the Dawn" will premiere on People.com on Monday, March 31st! I am assuming that a video will soon follow. I'm excited for Michelle and wish her the best of luck.

Well over the weekend, she performed her version of "Freakum Dress" (not really, just look at the dress and entertain the thought) at Shepherds Bush Empire in London:I'm really at a loss for words. And suddenly, i don't want to eat the Whooper Jr. with cheese directly to the left of my computer. She sort-of reminds me of what Amy Whinehouse would look like if she kicked the meth, and turned to comfort eating. This "Freakum Dress" reprise from Lil Bit & Big Ray is the only YouTube video that could accompany these flicks. Pay special attention to the way Ray sings "lemme fix my haair,":
