MAG COVERS: LEBRON COVERS GQ

LeBron James is back on a Condé cover, following last April’s controversial Vogue cover. The 24 year old basketball phenomenon appears on the February GQ.

The cover article tells the tale of six GQ staffers who challenged LeBron to a game of basketball. What were they thinking?!

Posing in a slate gray suit, pink shirt and gray tie, James spoke of his cover:

“It’s great. It shows that I’m fashionable. I never thought I would be on the cover of GQ. But I’ve done some things I never thought I would do. I have to thank (NBA commissioner) David Stern. Ever since he put in the rule about having to get dressed for the game, I had to get dressed.”

VIDEO: CHRISTINA MILIAN – “US AGAINST THE WORLD”

The beautiful Christina Milian finally releases the video for her new single, “Us Against the World,” which she premiered on MySpace back in October. “Us Against the World” is the lead single from Christina Milian’s fourth studio album, which she will release via MySpace Records through Interscope.

As always, Milian looks absolutely beautiful. The clip was directed by Ray Kay, whose videos I always love. I’m hoping that play for this video gets the single the attention it deserves. Christina really needs this one.

♫ HOT OR NOT: TAMI CHYNN – “HYPNOTICO”

Meet Tami Chynn. You may think you don’t know who she is, but I’m sure you’ve got a glimpse of Ms. Chynn in Akon’s “I’m So Paid” video. Interestingly enough, I was very intrigued by Tami’s bio. She’s of Chinese and European decent, but a born and raised native of Kingston, Jamaica. Chynn studied the performing arts in London, but returned to her Jamaican roots, taking lessons from Jamaican artists such as Beenie Man, Sean Paul and Lady Saw, all of whom she’s collaborated with in the past.

Now, Tami is working on her first U.S. release, Primadonna, with none other than Akon and RedOne (responsible for the #1 song in the country right now, Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”) via KonLive, through SRC/Universal Records.
