Rihanna's Shoes

Thought I would just inform you of Rihanna's shoes. They are blue suede Christian Louboutin "Rolando" platform pumps. Five inch stiletto heel, crescent toe, and signature red sole.

What's the Deal RiRi?

See I always give Rihanna compliments on her fashion forwardness and then have to take them back the very next day! What on earth is this on top of her head? A doily? For real Rihanna? C'mon on now....at least make it match the shade of the dress. The shoes are cute though.

This Summer Is Terrible! (Music Wise)

So I love music and I'm constantly downloading new tracks. So far 2009 has not been a good year as far as music and my iPod was constantly playing the same tracks over and over again. I always look forward to the summer because normally that's the time when most artists put out the best music. However, this summer has been terrible! There hasn't been many full albums that I have downloaded and I only listen to a few new tracks here and there.

On top of that, Mariah Carey's album has been pushed back from August 25 to September 15! And of course, Amerie's album has been pushed back as well. Fabolous' album "Losso's Way" hits stores today and hopefully that will revive the summer! I still can't wait for LeToya's album (it's been a long time coming and I'm so excited). I need some hot new music asap!

You Be the Judge

Is this Michael Jackson's love child? You be the judge. I mean the guy was sitting in the front row at the funeral. Why would you be in the front row unless you were part of the family? He looks just like Michael in his Thriller days. I seriously believe this one. The only thing I don't understand is that Michael seemed like a loving and proud father to his three children. Why wouldn't he make public this child as well? Who knows.....but yeah this is son!

Kim K and Reggie Break Up

So I've hearing for months that Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian have split up but I didn't really want to post it. But now I see more and more that the rumors are more likely than not true. I actually thought they made a nice couple and I'm actually surprised they made it this far with their busy schedules. Many women will be ecstatic that Reggie is back on the market :)

Kimmie's Birthday Party

So I'm a little late with these pics of Lil' Kim's 34th birthday party. I have to admit she looks great. Of course Trina and First Lady Diamond were in attendance. LisaRaye is wearing her signature white (rolling eyes) and everyone looks like they're having a fabulous time! No new word on Kim's album. It's still set to be released in the fall.

Amber at GUESS Store Opening

Here is the ever-delightful Amber Rose at the GUESS flagship store opening in New York City on July 22nd. Sorry I waited so long to post these pics. I was busy! Anyways, check out Amber in her Guess jeans and trailer park shirt and lacy bra. How classy! I swear if her outfits were on any other female I'd be having a field day talking about her; however, I have to admit I love Amber Rose. Look at her in the last pic with ex-America's Next Top Model Kim. Amber is definitely the baddest bish there. I guess the teal hair color was a temporary thing (I liked it), but she still looks ultra-fly! And she is definitely making rounds without Kanye. I hope this contract with Ford Models takes her where she wants to be. Kanye took you this far.....now girlie you're on your own.

Kelis' Baby and Settlement

Well I guess some people jumped the gun when it came to the announcement of Kelis' son's birth. I heard that the baby was born on Tuesday, but the baby, named Knight Jones, was actually born that Wednesday. Kelis went through a lot of labor! I've heard conflicting stories....some say 22 hours while others say 31 hours. Whatever the case may be she went through something else to get this baby out.....oh and she had a natural birth! Forget that....gimme some drugs.

Anyhoo, there have also been reports that Nas has been ordered to pay $44,000 a month in child and spousal support and also pay $45,000 for Kelis' legal bills. I do think that it's extremely excessive, but I'm Team Kelis all the way. Nas better pay up! Give her some of that Oochie Wally money....

I Heart Rihanna

I swear. Rihanna is a fashion/hair style force to be reckoned with. Home girl is no joke! Say what you want to say if you're a hater.....but she definitely knows how to turn heads. Here she is at the London premiere of the film "Inglorious Basterds" (yeah....I have no idea either) looking F-I-E-R-C-E. Have you heard the lead single off of Jay-Z's new album? Kanye is on the song plus RiRi is on the hook. I'm not super impressed by it but perhaps it will grow on me. I'll post it soon.

Michelle Obama's New Haircut

So I must have totally missed Michelle Obama getting this new hair cut. I think it looks great on her. Don't know what event this is...I just randomly found the pic.
UPDATE: Actually Michelle didn't cut her hair. Her stylist just pinned it up in the back. Still looks great though!

Kelis Has Her Baby

Word is that Kelis had her son today! Yayy! Anyone who knows me is aware that I am a major Kelis fan. Don't you just love the pic above? This little boy will have one hot mama! But rumor is that Nas was not at the birth at Kelis' request. Hopefully that wasn't the case. I'll keep you updated. Hopefully I'll have a name soon as well.

The-Dream "Can't Wait to Hate You"

So here is a demo track that The-Dream did called "Can't Wait To Hate You." It was supposedly for Mariah, but her second single entitled "H.A.T.E.U." is definitely not the same song from what I've heard. Nonetheless, this song has kinda grown on me. Partly because it encapsulates what I think everyone feels when they go through a painful breakup. You want to hate that person, but for some reason you still love them! I think we can all relate to this song. However, take some advice from me: the real way you move on from someone isn't hate; it's indifference. Remember that.

LeToya "Regret"

I can't wait until this new LeToya Luckett album comes out! I love her. Take a listen to this song called "Regret" featuring Ludacris. I'm definitely feeling this. Real laid back track.

White Hot Watch

I definitely want this watch! It's the "Jet Set Sport" Crystal Index Resin Chronograph Watch by Michael Kors. Swarovski crystals, mother of pearl face, bracelet band, with date function. Only $195, but on sale at Nordstroms for $129! That's super hot.

Fall 2009 Trend: Over-the-Knee Boots

I have a feeling that over-the-knee boots will be a major ultra-sexy trend for fall. Check out these Christian Louboutin OTK platform boots. Made of gray suede, signature red sole, hidden platform, and 3 9/10 inch heel, $1995.
Also peep the Louboutin Button-Up OTK platform boots in black suede, goldtone hardware, and 4 7/10 heel (also $1995). I could definitely see Rihanna rockin a pair of these!

MAC Eyeshadow

These MAC eyeshadow compacts are a steal at $35 each. Each compact consists of 6 limited edition eyeshadows in a metal case with cute black and white floral pattern. The first compact (Fresh Cut) consists of the following colors: Floral, Inc., Sun-Shy, Fresh Cut, Poppy Noir, Bloomcycle, and Part Peony. The second compact (Graphic Garden) consists of: Social Climber, Botanical Blue, Straight Hedge, Wild Wisteria, Linear Lilac, and Graphic Garden. These compacts are limited editions and available exclusively at Nordstroms.

Janet and JD No More

So after my two week absence from this blog I was contemplating whether I should do a quick run down of all the gossip that I've missed or start fresh and just comment on the stories that are happening from now on. I decided to do the latter; however, I just wanted to let everyone know that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are no longer a couple. I mean, to be honest I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. I never quite saw the connection. But what I find super hilarious is the fact that Jermaine recently got a tattoo of Janet (see below). I thought everyone knows that you should NEVER get a tattoo of a significant others' name or face. If you break up, then you end up lookin like a fool! Case in point....

Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Pre-Order Purse

So it's that time of year again! Time for the previews and pre-orders for designers' Fall collections. Check out this Marc Jacobs "Bruna" Quilted Handbag in a chic violet color (it also comes in black). Made of leather, logo-embossed gold plated accents, front push-lock, top zip closure, and interior zip pockets, $1295. Available for pre-order, limited quantities.

Sean Paul "Double Safety Lately"

Listen to this new track from Sean Paul called "Double Safety Lately" (I think that's the title) off his new "Imperial Blaze" album. I'm a huge Sean Paul fan so I'm anxiously awaiting this release. Although I like this mid-tempo song, because "So Fine" hasn't been doing so well he needs to come with a hard second single if he wants this album to do well.

My Apologies

So I've been terrible about updating this blog lately. If any of you know me personally you're aware that I'm just doing this blog for fun and do a couple of posts here and there during my spare time. My posts will not be regular again until the end of August. Sorry about that. There's not a lot I can do. Keep up with gossip and such at my fav sites: ConcreteLoop, Necole Bitchie, and Love B. Scott. Keep up with me via Facebook (feel free to add me) and Twitter: lesliePhD. Sorry guys.

Amber Rose's New Hair Color

Peep these pics of Amber's new hair color. Shall we call this "teal"? I think so. I actually think it looks hot on her (plus it coordinates nicely with the outfit). I didn't post pics of her with Kanye at the BET awards because personally I didn't particularly care for her outfit. I wonder when Amber's 15 minutes of fame are up? I thought they would be over when her and Kanye broke up, but obviously they're still together. We'll see....

Rihanna Pics

Check out some recent pics of Rihanna. She looks great as always (although I'm tired of her wearing shades at night). She's working on her new album which I already know will be a huge hit. I can't wait for some new music to leak! I've heard a few tracks and wasn't all that impressed, but we'll have to wait and see.

Full Episode: Tiny and Toya Show

Definitely watch the FULL episode of the "Tiny and Toya Show" below. I actually really liked the show and it was pretty heartfelt with Toya talking about the problems with her mother and Tiny talking about her want to have a fulfilling music career against T.I.'s wishes and her father who has Alzheimer's. I will definitely tune in next week! My only problem with the show is that I wish it had subtitles! Sometimes I can't understand a word that is coming out of Tiny's mouth!
