Just before the 4th of July weekend, I attended D. Woods from Danity Kane’s birthday party at Luckie Lounge in downtown Atlanta with some friends. The party was great. It started off with some performances by Danity Kane, D. Woods, her sister Shanell (who has been featured here before), as well as Aubrey O’Day, R. City, and new Universal Motown signee, Mika Means.
Other guests included Bryan-Michael Cox, Lloyd, Mychael Knight and many more.
Excuse the lighting and bluriness of a couple of photos! The lighting was so weird!

Over the weekend, I attended Solange’s show here in Atlanta with a couple of friends, including Dorion from BET’s College Hill: Atlanta. The show was amazing – Solange is really proving herself this time around. Not only did she look absolutely amazing, but she performed with a broken toe, and sounded wonderful. She had a stage presence that was really captivating. Her set was fresh, and she was just a pleasure to watch.
I also would just like to wish Solange a happy 22nd birthday tomorrow! Her party is today in LA!

TIME.COM just released their list of top 50 websites of 2008 and Concrete Loop made the list in the ‘Info & Gossip’ section. That’s wassup! Here is what they wrote:
You may not notice just how white celebrity-gossip sites like TMZ and Perez Hilton really are until you check out ConcreteLoop. Devoted to black celebrities, it regularly features A-listers like Rihanna, Usher, Denzel Washington and Alicia Keys. In addition to the usual paparazzi shots and rumors, you’ll find posts on fashion and politics, as well as tons of comments from ConcreteLoop’s audience of nearly a million regular readers. We also like Bossip for its lower-brow appeal and Nah Right for its choice video clips. [SOURCE]
We appreciate all the support and love from all our visitors! Honestly, I still can’t believe the site is as big as it is. Big thanx to TIME Magazine for recognizing us.
