Lorraine Schwartz (jewelry designer to the stars) launched her ‘Diamond Monkey Collection’ at the Monkey Bar in NYC on Wednesday Night.
Ashanti, Tina Knowles, Pharrell Williams, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Fabolous and a lot more were in attendance. Check out the pics.



Damn you, Janice!!!!
everyone looks good but tired ass Janice Combs and the sideline broad that parlayed into songwriting since she’s Beyonce’s cousin (the chick with Mama Knowles and damn her red lipstick, though it doesn’t look bad now) and ‘Monkey Collection’ and it’s majoriy negros lmaoooo nah it’s good to see a diverse amount of celebs at the event looking good.
I just want to say “Second” !!!!
SHani’s so cute. Good 4 Lorraine…she knows all those diamond monkeys r gonna b spendin their advance checks on diamond monkeys….I C U PIMP
I swear Kim K. always be on the scene and who’s that pictured with mama combs?
Ashanti, Fabolous, JennyLo, Heidi, and Seal look nice. That is all.
I love Debra Messing, she is so hilarious on Will and Grace. Fabolous you look a little tempted. I warning you brotha, the b*tch aint worth it. J.lo looks nice and so Ashanti. Who the f*** and Why the f*** is Cassie there. She aint relevant. Oh well.
Love,Peac,&&Honeyy
everyone looks nice
oooh and Mimi Valdez (who is she) looks wack as fuck, they knew the camera was there, POSE BITCH!! and peep the sneaky look on Fabolous’ face next to Kim Kardiho, he was fingering her and almsot got caught by the camera lmao
I LIKE ASHANT, BUT WHY IS LOOKING LIKE SHE IS COMPLETELY BANKRUPT.
FAB LOOK LIKE A SPED IN THE PIC W/ BRITTANY GASTINEAU AND KIM KARDASHIAN.
I RAN OUT OF WORDS FOR JANICE COMBS A YEAR AGO….
mama knowles looks albino..ish. kinda weird thou n wot does beyonce’s cousin do really[lovin her lipstick] its nice to see us pple supporting our own.
Second!!!! Everyone looks good. i am happy to see J. Lo looking good and for the record Tina is no celebrity unless Beyonce is by her side.
What’s up with the name The Diamond Monkey Collection? Am I the only one kinda offended by the name? Does it have a meaning or relevance behind it? Anyone know?
Yea Ashanti and J Lo look cute, Fabolous better stay away from that Kim girl
ok, ok…why does p daddy’s mom look like that??
Tina and Angela with that red lipstick… smh…
everyone lookin gud..no complains unless…janice combs is an exception cos boi shes always lookin……..wierd
A Jewish Woman is selling Diamonds to the Negros, and she calls her product “The Diamond Monkey” Collection.
Interesting…….
If anything Fabolous looks like ” Somebody get this stank b*tch away from me”!!!!
I thought I was the only one who caught that Bill
Janice, Janice Janice……smh all day
….I thought that after seeing “Blood Diamonds” (the movie) that most Negros would be turned off from wearing diamonds….
Well these are Hollywood Negros, huh…
* As an aside, why is it when there is a lot of negros in attendance, Kim Kardashian is somewhere in the room
I think she ( Kim Kardashian) is their secret weapon !!!
She’s a Weapon of Mass Destruction
# 18…Bill
You are crazy for that sh*t.
Cassie lookin kinda hardcore yo! I’m skurrred!
You have a point @ Bill about “diamond monkey”…
Mama Tina is killing it with the red dress and lipstick go head Miss Tina.
Ashanti looks cute.
Who is this Vee with Janice Combs? And Miss Janice finally got a darker colored wig.
Uh oh Fab are you next on Kim K’s hit list…get him Momma Jackson
What the hell “Diamond Monkey Collection”…more like the “Diamond Jemimah Collection”….that one makes more sense….Im not being negative but the name is confusingly awful. Scenerio: Mama Knowles: “Hey you know Janice has a new line of jewelry out now?” Beyonce: “Really, Ima have to empty Jay’s wallet for this, what’s the name of the line?” Mama Knowles: “The Diamond Monkey Collection” Beyonce: “………………………” Mama: “Yeah baby look at this bracelet, ” Bee: “………ummmm…yeah Im gonna need you to stop wearin that monkey jewelry and help me come up with a line with a better name…..Immediately!” Mama: “But I’m helping Jan-” Bee: “No! Bitch your helping me! Get Solange and Kelly in the Basement, we finna make some money!”
Saffire in Ny
Where is Debra Messing? Am I missing something, because I don’t see her!
Good point Bill.
These people are looking a mess!
I actually think that Ashanti looks very…blah. I can’t even think of a word. I guess average fits. That dress looks hella cheap and why does she always have the same makeup on or has the same facial expression in every photo? That smile is annoying. Her arms are huge in the first pic.
That ho KIM, she aint even nobody to be going to events. I guess being a groupie and a flunky pays off. That Gastineau girl looks like she’s giving a fake smile while saying, bitch you better not put your nasty lips on me. And I agree that Fabolous is saying, get this stank ass ho away from me LOL
Cassie looks like a boy in that photo with Pharell and looks a little dirty.
Fab look like he’s next in line for Kim’s hoe train lol
TI and Just Blaze bring “Help”, Fab’s back on top and Young Buck aint fucking with DJ Khaled…all this and more at http://www.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.com
P.S.
I puffy heart Seal and Heidi! They make such an awesome couple
#18… Bill, you took the words right outta my mouth. First Negroes tap dance to wear clothing called Bathing A.P.E., now Negroes is hambone-ing for Monkey jewlry. Next, Adidas is gonna come out with a shoe called Step-N-Fetch It…. Watch!
They wearin the shyt, so whatever.
Janice and that damn wig and them blue contacts …no matter how many times I see it..wtf?
HOLD UP BEE’S ASSISTANT ISN’T ON THE VACA WITH HER AND JIGGA AND THEM…?
but y “diamond monkeys” tho? am i out of the loop?
is it me, or does kim k look like nicole from pussycat dolls?
I on’t care what nobody say… Tina rockin dat hooker red lipstick. She look like somebody bashed her in the lips wit a STOP sign.
Good point #31.
Janice ..still a mess. It’s good to see Heidi and Seal still hanging in there. I wish Tina and her neice would stop sharing lipstick. Who is Vee?
I’m thinkin Janice got that one wig and one wig only. She must just puts it in the spin cycle, rings it out then throws it across a clothing line. There’s no other explanation for it.
I agree with # 6.
@Bill, #26 & #31,
I’m glad someone agrees with me! The Monkey Diamond Collection! What the hell kinda name is that?!!!
@Bill,
LOL at your Kim K. comment. But how true. She is usually always where the brothers are at, just waiting for one to follow the wiff of her cooch.–Which one usually does. Looks like she was trying to get Fabolous to follow her back to her sex den that night!LOL!
Fab needs to stay clear of Kim. Fab’s mother don’t play that type of sh!t!
This is what I found out about the Diamond Monkey Collection and why it’s called that:
Inspired by the popular, See no Evil. Hear no Evil. Speak no Evil. mantra, Schwartz has designed a collection which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but bears spiritual significance. “The concept behind see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil is a means to leading a peaceful, positive life” says Schwartz. “Wearing this emblem is a constant reminder of these three mantras and helps keep you grounded by empowering you to take charge of your emotions and block out negativity.” The collection, which is available by wait list only, features 18k gold and blackened-gold monkeys representing the three aspects of the adage. The handmade monkeys are adorned with canary yellow diamonds and contrasting white diamonds for the eyes. The Lorraine Schwartz Monkey Collection includes necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings and cufflinks which can be worn layered or as a single statement piece, and are available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
#27 she is in the pic with Jennifer Lopez but she is kind of holding her head down. Thats probably why you cant really see her.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
lol at Bill
#41, well if that is what the monkey represents, people need stop getting so freakin’ offended. Damn, why black folks always gotta turn everything into a racial issue. Why cant I just enjoy reading the damn blog. Sheesh.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
Beyonce has really let herself go.
Oh, I just read the new rules. Sorry Angel It won’t happen again. Everyone in the pics looks good though.
Now that #41 stated what the “official story “is behind the name, I’m still inclined to lean towards Bill’s assessment.
WOW!! How did mama Tina slim down like that?
Janice Combs white woman drag look is an embarrassment.
Man Bill @18 ,
i thnk you need a job on the LOOP for real, I realise you give some great comments, your like the bill Maher or Chris Rock of the loop dude. Not jock swinging, but calling it real and the way i think most people see it. You needz a job right up in here!!!!!!!!!!!
But definiely feeling you on the comment.
as for the pson who asked who Mimi Valdez is: SHE IS HUGE IN THE PRINT MEDIA. GOGLE HER YOUNG’UN. You get in with Mimi you jut might have a half decent career!
I like Lorraine Schwartz jewelry but I don’t know why she named it diamond monkey collection. We’ll anyway I think Ashanti and Kim Hoedarshain looked pretty. Janice Combs looks a H.A.M. as usual. Cassie can’t sing and Pharrel is a Straight fly guy. Tina and her daughter Bey look so much alike. You could tell their mother/daughter even if they wasn’t known. Seal and Heidi make a cute couple, I think their the only interracial couple black people don’t have a problem with.
Thanks for the info #41!
But I don’t know, no matter how “peaceful and inspiring” Ms. Shwartz tries to put it, I think I’d rather wear a cross.
HEEEEELLLL NNAAAAAWWWW @31 & 35 I m ROLLLLING.
The stop Sign comment kilt me
The step n Fetch it has me dying
‘Shanti looks FAB!
I heard they were serving watermelon and popeyes at this event too.
Puffy, tell your mom to fall back, chill at the mansion and watch some Matlock.
Please take heed to what Bill is typing because it is the TRUTH!!
WHY does Angie Beyince THINK she’s a celebrity?….
Something about her just rubs me the wrong way…like boo, your just an assistant lol!
Janice Combs looks just like a hood rat chick! LOL
Tina Knowles looks like some sort of witch.
#58, you may wanna take the extra “e” out of pretty.
