Can you guess what singer strutted her stuff down the catwalk last night during the Dsquared fashion show? Hint, the designers are big fans of her and she’s been looking great in their designs lately…
Kelis was spotted leaving Us Weekly Hot Hollywood event at Opera nightclub in Hollywood Wednesday night. A lot of celebs were at that nightclub too. Check more of the candids.
T.I, Lil Wayne, and Jeezy hosted “The Untouchables” party in Atlanta celebrating all three of their birthdays. The party was the place to be from what I hear, with Kelly Rowland singing “Happy Birthday” guest appearances by many including Fantasia Barrino and Baby.
See more pictures from the party over at Ozone magazine’s gallery or after the cut…some birthday cake!
BET aired their “Hip Hop V.S America” series this week on Tuesday. The panel consisting of Hip Hop artists, Professors, Public Speakers, and models brought up many issues concerning Hip Hop and the state of the black community.
Guest speakers included T.I, Nelly, Master P, Mike Jones, and Melyssa Ford among many others. The hot topic on the panel seemed to be surrounding Nelly’s “Tip Drill” video and how it effected Black women to the point he was banned from a bone marrow drive at Spelman College. Watch the clip from Part I of the series where things get a little heated, as it it did during the rest of the show.
If you missed the whole thing, you can watch it over at BET. What were your thoughts on the discussion, did it bring out anything or was it just a waste? Do you think these artists don’t realize how much their music affects the black community, or are the two not related at all?
Guess what R&B crooner was spotted Wednesday night leaving Dinner with model Jessica White? She was linked to John Legend last year, but I guess she moved on to another singer.
The body of Nailah Franklin, 28, was found near her car in Calumet City, Ill. early Thursday morning. Friends and relatives became concerned last week when she sent a vague text message to friends and family saying that she was having dinner and that she’d call later. Franklin’s car was found Friday in Hammond, Ind.
Nailah Franklin’s uncle, Jon Merrill, and family friend and spokesman, Andrew Holmes, told a CBS news affiliate that authorities have confirmed the body is Franklin’s.
There are many leads in the case, but the police are investigating a possible ex-boyfriend who was leaving threatening voice mail messages for Nailah shortly before she disappeared. This is a horrible outcome and my heart goes out to the family. For more info on the case please check out the links provided below.

Upon listening to J. Holiday’s debut album, Back of My Lac, I see that he has a little something for the ladies and the thugs. He’s the new blend of street and sweet. The Capitol Records signee says that he gathers his inspiration for his album from living the street life. But although he draws from his many experiences there, he takes a step back and says: “The streets are not anything to glamorize. I’m trying to let my people back home know that I’m with them. DC has a lot of talent and I’m just trying to show people that we are here.”
But it’s obvious that with the hit single “Bed,” produced by Los Da Mystro and written by theDream, J. Holiday also draws from his experiences with the ladies. The DC native is to release his debut album on October 2nd, so make sure you check it out. Aside from the obvious “Bed,” stand out tracks include The Clutch’s “Fatal,” and his follow-up single, “Suffocate.” The major disappointment for me was the fact that J. didn’t include a few songs from his mixtape that I’d really developed a liking for.
