Irregular Choice Eat Me Whole Boot

Irregular Choice Eat Me Whole.

Dig these BabyKayKs? I do. Funny part is I dont really care for the new peep toe boot type jump offs that everybody rocks these days, but I likey thesey. Irregular Choice is hitting us with this Eat Me Whole (Biege) 4.5 inch heeled shoe. The leather straps & slouchy canvas gives the shoe a very unique vibe. I love anything that has that rusty worn type of feel to it. You can add these to your closet for about $200..

Everyone's Fave Kardashian, Khloe's "Surprising" Cosmo Cover

Khloe is my fave Kardashian. I think she's absolutely hilarious and beautiful. Khloe opened up on her blog about how she couldnt believe she'd snagged the cover of Cosmopolitan. “I think you meant to send this Kim.” She says she told her publicist. Her publicist quickly replied “No crazy girl! This is for you!”  lol! Check out more pics and her comments on her hubby Lamar after the jump!

Virginia Tech penalized for response in 2007 massacre

The federal government said Tuesday it plans to issue the maximum possible fine against Virginia Tech for violating a campus safety law in connection with a shooting massacre that left more than 30 students and teachers dead.



A federal official wrote to the university President Charles W. Steger that the penalty for failing to provide timely warnings about the threat on campus that day should be greater, according to a report by The Washington Post. The penalty comes as a stinging reminder for Virginia Tech, which has tried to overcome what transpired nearly four years ago, the deadliest school massacre in U.S. history.

Larry Fitzgerald, Vernon Davis, Vontae Davis, Roy Williams, & More NFL Return From Mission Trip to Africa

So, 10 NFL players went to Uganda this past week to spread some love over there. They dug wells for locals to get water, help to provide hearing aids for thousands of people, and heres my favorite part- they stopped by a nursery there to visit some little kiddos and babies!

Can you imagine how larger than life these huge NFL players seemed to those kids. Or even what meeting them has planted in those kids' hearts?! I love it! So awesome to see these guys giving back like this!

Matthew Knowles to No Longer Manage Daughter Beyonce


After years of success and what some deemed as undying loyalty (favoritism maybe) Matthew Knowles the guy who is looked upon as the mega manager who drove his daughter Beyonce's career to the stratosphere is no longer going to be managing it. Beyonce & her dad have ended their business relationship that began after he saw a gift in her as a child and quit his corporate job to manage her career full time. Details after the jump!

One More Reason Why Other Rappers are NOT seeing Shawn Carter


When the epic that is Sade decided to finally collab with a rapper after years of petitions ... she goes for the gold. This is not even a surprise to me though.. lol..he is that guy.

Jay will apparently be featured on the remix of Sade's "Moon & Sky". This is about to be insane! Sade will be releasing a greatest hits compilation May 3rd that will feature the collaboration.

LADIES!!! Could you rock these? Charlotte Olympia Fall 2011 Sneak Peeek!


These are very playful! I think that the candy striped one does it for me more so than the wedge, but Id rock both. Charlotte Delal is presenting consumers with a sexy but fun and edgy line for the fall. A "dont take me too seriously, but Im not playing games" type of design is evident in this years line up. Im feeling the edginess of 2011!

Congrats to Breezy Projected to Push 250,000 in 1st Week

Yo.. this album is great seriously. Im so happy he was able to put out such a solid record with all of the pressure to do so. My fave joint so far is the Jam of the Week "All Back".  Im sure we can all relate to this song.

With a crazy release day (GMA incident) Chris is still projected by Billboard to top this week's charts. Save all of the drama surrounding him as a person, this album does speak to his talent as an artist. Kudos to Breezy!

Something For The Make Up Lovers! MAC- Jeanius Collection


How uber cool is this!? At first glance I didnt believe it was real, but looks like it is. MAC has developed a line inspired by denim. The Jean Dream line will feature: eyeshadows, lipglasses, lipsticks, nail polishes, blush, a Penultimate Brow Maker, and a Penultimate Eye Liner.

I dont know if the best part about this line is the bold jean influenced hues, or the adorable jean button design inside of the compact!

Soulja Boy's Younger Brother Dies in Tragic Accident


My prayers are going up for rapper Soulja Boy & family. His little brother died tragically 2 days ago.

Soulja's other brother threatened to take is own life on his facebook page today as he cant deal with the grief of his younger brother's death.

Today the world mourns lifelong screen star Elizabeth Taylor, who died today after complications from congestive heart failure, her publicist told the Associated Press.

The first American casualty in Japan disaster identified

The body of a 24-year-old Virginia woman was found 10 days after an earthquake and tsunami devastated the coastal city where she taught English, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Want clear skin the natural way? Try one-ingredient facials!


On top of drinking plenty of water and applying sunscreen moisturizer, raid your pantry for some of the below one-ingredient facial masks. Men can give them a shot too, because they're natural and healthy!


Sudden physical activity (and sex) can kill, researchers say

Former vice president Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack in 1979,
reportedly while having sex with his mistress.

Make sure you ease into extreme physical activity after a long period of inactivity, researchers say, which increases risk of heart attack.

Doctors have long known that physical activity can cause serious heart problems, but a new study helps to quantify that risk by Dr. Issa Dahabreh of Tufts Medical Center in Boston, whose study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.



I LOVE this! Solange & Other Artist Join Forces for World Water Day!



I love Solange. I always have. Not just because she's a great artist (singer/songwriter/dancer/Lord knows what else) but I admire that she's a free spirit. She's not afraid to be herself. & if she is, she doesnt let her fear keep her from being that.


Solange & other artists have stood up  & responded to the devastation occuring around the globe-the lack of clean water. Read on for song video & Info! 

Robin Roberts & GMA Stuck In The Past..Chris Brown Reacts to Negative Interview


I had every intention on posting a happy album release day for Chris today! His anticipated album F.A.M.E. was released today. The artist who many love and many hate.. has sorta just come off a long haitus. One commenced by an incident he had with ex girlfriend singer Rihanna.

Chris served his time and according to the judge went above and beyond her expectations. It seems though that no matter how much he does to move forward the media and immature minds seem to pull him backwards.. so was the case today at GMA according to TMZ.

Wyclef  previously ran for the Presidency  but was banned by officials from the elections because he lives in New Jersey. Glad he's ok!

More Pics Of Bey In the Stu!


There have been a few pictures released over various social media outlets of producers in the studio with Beyonce working on new material!  This one by Frank Ocean. I can not even act like Im not super excited! Any time Beyonce is working on  new material, that means so much for music in general, because she's one of the few trend setters we have left!

What makes this even better is the Balmain Military Shirt she's rockin! Oh & the Loubs on the floor! LOL

LADIES Say Amen!



I have no words.. just watch, listen, and grow!

Somebody Tell Pharrell that THIS was Not the Move

Im gonna assume because he was in Moscow & because it was a D&G event, he felt he could pull it off. For whatever the reason, its not working! Its too much & too short, dont you think? Try again Pharrell..in the meantime, can we get some music?? Thanks.

Rest In Love: Nate Dogg Passes Away at 41 yrs. Old



Im sad to report this. I remember just a few years ago being thrown for a loop when I heard Nate Dogg, famous for his smooth west coast drenched  vocals, had suffered a stroke, and then just a year later another one. I hadnt heard  anything about his status much since that point. Just this morning it was reported that he passed away yesterday.

After quake and tsunami, Japanese face radiation, no food or water

Japan is reeling after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit the northern part of the country last Friday, sending deadly tsunamis onto coastal areas. The above photo shows the gravity of the devastation.

Four days later, the people have felt hundreds of aftershocks and face high radiation levels from three nuclear plant explosions in the city of Fukushima. There is little food and water for survivors, and the Japan National Police reported 3,676 dead and 7,558 missing, and the numbers may very well grow as the search for bodies continues. Even Tokyo had two quakes--6.2 and 6.0 magnitude--on Tuesday.

Sneaker Alert! Fellas & Ladies.. GallianoS!!






I LOVE these.. they are dude shoes, but Id so rock em! Im feeling the color scheme and just the over all  look of the shoe. I think the detail with the name on the strings is kinda dope too, even though I dont care for brand names on clothes. It seems to work for these. Side view after the jump!

Video - "Missing You" (Diddy, Faith, 112) R.I.L. BIG



One of the greatest rappers to ever live was killed on this day in 1997. Seems like just yesterday. My heart goes out to his family & true friends every year on this day. It was a true tragedy and loss to the hip hop community. This song/video from Bad Boy touched all of our hearts when it was released. R.I.L. BIG!

New Video: Musiq ft. Swizz -Anything



Where has this guy been? If you like the music Musiq is known for, you'll enjoy this one. Its all about the skating rink, dance floor, and just feel good music. Thats what you get from this too.. along with the occasional Swizz tag.

In Case You Need A Laugh: "Try Your Dangdest"



Thanks to one of my favorite people J. Streete -who showed me this the other day you now have a reason to laugh.

Jessica Simpson Beckery


Ok Jessica is stepping into the ring with other lines (Designers- not sure she'd doing the designing, but thats neither here nor there.) and jumping out of the confines of the norm for fashion. Many designers' edgy & shapeful creations in recent years moreso than others have been embraced by the public as wearable and not just fun to look at. Im thinking with people like Gaga & others who are willing to actually wear the stuff you used to only see on runways, its broadened the consumers understanding of fashion.

I like these a lot. Peep them in camel under the jump. I must say, Jessica Simpson's line gets it right..a lot.

Alexis Mabille Fall 2011


Im definitely a blue & black, gray & brown type of chic. I love this Fall 2011 line by Mabille because its a button pusher. The models showcase a plethra of shapes, textures, and patterns that are off putting at first glance but that work wonderfully together after a sec longer of looking. This was one of my favorite looks. Peep the full Ready to Wear collection here.

Charlie Sheen Premieres Sheen's Corner :/


Charlie Sheen is either off of his rocker or very smart. This video is a ustream he did the other night. He shouts out his kiddos and gets at his babies' mother. He's coined this Winning phrase & its gone viral all over the internet & television. Umm.. this right here is a mess. Enjoy. lol smh 

In Honor of Chris Brown


Im not gonna post the pics.. but I will say that whoever is trying to sabotage his career should think very hard about what they are doing. The past couple of weeks have been crazy. Someone published pics of Rihanna right after the incident between she and Breezy. And just this weekend naked pics of Brown have hit the web.

As Ive said a billion times, no one is perfect. What Chris did is between him and God and for him to apologize, serve his time, and try to be a better person is enough for me to not judge him. I hope & believe his album is going to be crazy & top charts! We'll see on the 22nd! In the mean time peep a video of Brown performing, "Take You Down" after the jump... lol I got you #TeamBreezy!

Lupe Fiasco Speaks On Being Suicidal


Most people dont really know the drama that goes on behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. Especially for artists who know their lane and know exactly the type of music they should make. Unfortunately in today's music industry many artists are forced to make the music the labels think they should make as opposed to what they actually desire to make.

Lupe is promoting his new album, "Lasers" & he opens up to thhe Guardian about his fight with his label, Atlantic..he had to get a petition from fans (30,000) for them to release the album. He also talks about how them not releasing, "Nothing On You" as his record and watching it become a hit with Bruno Mars and B.O.B. caused him much mental stress and strain.. peep his comments after the jump!
