ROUND UP: DIDDY & MARIAH FRAGRANCE BATTLE / GOSSIP FROM THE USHER FRAGRANCE PARTY
Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Mariah Carey is responding to Diddy’s fragrance challenge issued to her and several other female pop stars last week. At a tour of his “Unforgivable Mansion” last week, promoting his new fragrance, Diddy said:
“I send out a challenge…I challenge all of my female counterparts that have fragrances…that my fragrance is better than theirs. I’m a man and I know how women should smell!
“I like their fragrance but… I invite them to come out, meet me on a Saturday or Sunday on 5th Avenue and we do it like Pepsi blind smell taste. My fragrance is launching and we can see whose fragrance is better, mine or yours. And the loser has to pay for the shopping spree.”
Mariah responded earlier this week with:
“I heard about this competition, and I wish Puff all the best with his new fragrance, but I think we’re actually appealing to different types of women. M by Mariah Carey is about being unforgettable, not unforgivable. It’s not about a ménage à trois or a one night stand, it’s for the woman who wants the man to fall in love with her immediately, stay in love, and treat her like royalty.”
Both of y’all send me a free bottle and I’ll tell you which one is better! Ha.
EXCLUSIVE GOSSIP FROM THE USHER FRAGRANCE PARTY LAST NIGHT!!!

So I just got an email from a insider at the Usher fragrance party that went down last night. Of course I can’t reveal my sources, but this is what I was told:
…..Even though Usher’s momma was in attendance, she was near her (young) boo and younger son James the whole time. He [Usher] made a special point to shout-out his momma every chance a microphone came his way, dedicating the scents to her, blah blah blah. Tameka showed up hella late, hella preggers, though looking quite fab in 4-inch heels and a gray mini-dress.
Oh, and you could still slice the tension in the room with a knife when those two (momma & Meka) walked right past AND ignored each other a few times. They may have made nice for a camera or two, but don’t believe the hype.
hmmmmm…

Hmm Puffy is going to get his ASS handed to him like Fifty “please retire” Cents, keep playing, and sorry I am not going to buy his mess, M’ariah, J-Lo, and or Beyonce and Co and any other persons scents because this is not like music. If it does not blend well with your PH that ish stinks. So umm, too bad Puff. I love Mariah’s response who knew she could be so clever. Kudos Mariah!
Usher, I have no words and I am not buying anyone’s fragrance who disrespects his momma. I know, what does that have anything to do with it? Nothing, I do not like him period, that is why I am not supporting, but I like my other excuse.
I am a C. Klein and M. Kors, Stella McCarthy and D&G type of girl. Sorry.
the one has spoken…

I think Mariah shut Diddy up perfectly. He irks my nerve I swere he does. He always tryna battle someone or be at the top of everything. Maybe in his world he’s there, but in the real world everyday there will be someone else trying to make a fragrance, song or clothing line. Like his arrogant ass needs to sit on that damn fragrance.
Btw - I wouldnt buy his Fragrance either
Bee looks good in this pic. Total come up from the last few pics I was starting to get a lil bit worried.
Usher and Tameeka or however you spell her name can go somewhere. I tried to be happy for them, but I cant. I can’t stand them together it irks my nerves and Meeka needs to chill out tryna be cute and ish. It personally takes a lot for her to be cute anyway because she’s not easy on the eyes so she need to just do like Diddy and sit on it.
P-S: where are her other kids? you would think this was her first one…smh.

Everyone looks nice, I could careless about the perfume battle, I purchase whatever smells good on me I don’t give a DAMN who makes it.
Beyonce, looks wonderful the best she’s looked in a long time, face looks natural and light and I’m loving the hair color.
I see more pics with Usher, his Mom and Beyonce I truly believe the rumors about his Mom not being too fond of the wife.

I won’t buy P-Diddy, I really cant stand him. I don’t want to harp on this too long. But on the set of him filiming these sexual commercials, he refuse to hire any BLACK MODELS. He only wanted White, European and Latino models. So why would I buy anything of his. Even if it did smell good. I won’t feed into this. This is not the first time he have expressed his commercial dislike for black models in the media.
Anyways, Mimi dont’ hurt them. He like to hear himself talk.
Bey, you look nice. Pretty dress.

I haven’ smelled unforgiveable yet… but I actually got the chance to smell Mariah’s M perfume the other day! and it smells great!!!
As for the Usher drama… frankly I don’t care!!! Congratz to him on his son! Besides that who cares???
Beyonce is looking fierce! She finally took my advice and put some oil sheen on that head of hers… lol… She’s looking gorgeous as usual! No she just gotta work on controlling what comes out of her mouth and she’ll be better than she is already…

i know concreteloop doesnt do too much gossip and I have mad respect for yall for that. But, since we are talking about disrespectful Usher take a look at the post I did about him not wearing his wedding band. Not only has he disrespected his mom but now he is doing the same to his supposed wife by not wearing the band when she is around. . . .including when she was there last night. The proof is in the photos http://WWW.STYLERAZZI.BLOGSPOT.COM

In the coporate world it is important that he have BLACK MODELS in his ads. Because believe it or not, that’swhat they do look at. Puffy know this. He is playing their game at OUR expense. His momma is black, even though she wears a blond wig, she still is black. Let’s not forget Puffy has been on the Forbes list for years. So for him not to have a least one black model in his ads speaks volumes for the black community.
I love the fact that a black man is in the position that Puffy is in. He have worked very hard to be at the top. Yes, he’t still at the top. So when you are in that position you need to value yourself and others that contribute to your success. Get a CLUE.
What goes up must come down.

I swear. It’s just a matter of time before these two end up in divorce court. I seriously don’t see Usher and Tameka staying together forever. I think he should have just gotten back w/ Chili, however, Chili has moved on. Anyway, back to the subject, it’s gotta be something going on if Usher kept shouting out his mamma like that the whole night every chance he could get. And for his wife to be ignoring his mama, I think something is up. It’s more to it than meets the eye. Just saying…

Tameka needs to stop wearing any type of heels since she’s so close to delivery. That can’t be good for her or the baby..sit the hell down somewhere..smh

LOL @ Me smelling like Big Bird…of all the people to point out why me OBAMA? You must have some secret hatred in heart for me….GET LIFE pathetic piece of trash!
People keep asking why Tameka is never seen with her other children…it’s because she doesn’t have other children..she’s really a man…and this pregnancy is fake…which is why she can wear 4inch heels! Any doctor will tell you and urge a preganant woman not to wear heels once they reach a certain month…cause it could really cause problems. This is all fake..she’s really a man..and the kids and husband she had before were all paid actors! Watch all of a sudden she will come with her fake children..and they wont look the same as before!
