6th Annual GM Ten Show

The 6th Annual GM Ten show was ALSO held in LA last night. A lot of stuff went on in the city last night! The runway was full of celebs! Well maybe not A-Listers but you knew who they were. Jennifer Hudson looked fab strutting her stuff. Donald Faison, from Clueless....WHAT? Tyrese came looking suave! Mehki Phifer stood out. And Christina Milian, even though she has no money, was the belle of the ball in this GORGEOUS red gown! I absolutely loved it! Oh and Russell Simmons and Eva were pretty chummy last night. Check out Robin Thicke! Gotta love him. But honestly if I hear his damn song one more time...

Usher's New Boo

Okay, now how about this one. Usher is supposedly engaged to Tameka Foster. His "longtime" girlfriend and former stylist. They were dating in the past when she was very married. But now she's divorced and the mother of three! Yeah that's right, three! But anyhow, Usher proposed on Valentine's Day. Let me say he supposedly proposed! She received a 10 carat diamond ring and has already begun the planning of the wedding! GO TAMEKA! December 2005, pictures surfaced of the two of them vacationing while she was married... to someone else. Back then Usher Ray's mother didn't like her... Well, that didn't stop the brother! He's in love yall!

Tyra's Doint It Again

Tyra reshot her cover from Sports Illustrated for her tenth year anniversary of its first debut. All I am going to say is.... PHOTOSHOP! Angela Bassett and her fine husband Cortney B. Vance had a book signing at L.A.'s Eso Won Bookstore for their book Friends: A Love Story. I just love them!

New Couple ALERT!

Deelishis is with who!? Well, after an inteview on 102.7 in DETROIT (♥), Deelishis announced she is with Busta Rhymes now and will be in a movie alongside Angela Bassett. India.Arie! This is the shocker of the week! She and Chris Tucker are supposedly dating. Word is they went to Oprah's Africa School Opening Thing together and have been seen other places together! GONE INDI!!!

Top 50 Hollywood Power Brokers List Party

The Black Enterprise Top 50 Hollywood Power Brokers List Party was also last night in L.A. at Silver Spoon. Check out Kiki. But the best picture of the night was Eddie Murphy and Tracee and oh, uh-oh look who else showed up! Babyface and Tracee!? Oh no, she just looks a hell of a lot like her! Come on now Face, don't try and replace her. There's only one! Lisa Raye also came through and Eva P., UH!, made an "appearance". But why does Chris Brown look like he came straight from school! This was a ball Chris. Ed Hardy is not considered formal!

Foxy...QUIT!

Foxy not again! Now she said she was in the bathroom in the beauty supply and the owner barged in on her. She says she is only being charged because she is black. PEOPLE please quit pulling the race card! It is not going to get you everywhere all the time. Use it when it is right. But, now a days, should we really use it at all? Like for real. She says the owner is only suing her so he can pay his mortgage and his children's college tuition. A reply to that would be, b***h but, I don't say that so.... JERK! And what's up with her nail polish!?

Justin NO!

Okay and look at this! Does this little boy look familiar? Yeah well this is Justin Combs. Son of P.Diddy. I cannot believe this. The boy is only twelve. Why is he at a party anyway!? Misa Hylton-Brim, his mother said she nor Diddy were in the presence and they do not condone this type of behavior. If you look closely, it looks like someone was holding little Justin's arms back! I know he wouldn't do this. Or maybe he is rebelling because his two new sisters are getting all the shine. He's just jealous right now.. lol

Kevin Liles Party

Kevin Liles held a party last night in New York. Guest included Serena Williams, Ed Lover, Russell Simmons, T.I., Trey Songz, Jay Z, and Irv Gotti. IRV GOTTI!? What? I thought he was in prison! Well Lil Kim was there too with the look of a HOT GHETTO MESS spokesmodel. And Ray J. And look at DMX and his wife! I think she might have got a whift of his stuff. Damn, when you get married do you HAVE to become one!? HAHA.

After The Show It's The AFTERPARTY!

Okay, I thought the Oscar pics were over but after the show, its the AFTERPARTY!!! HAHA.




Yeah well, Oprah, Mary, Kendu and others celebrated at the after party, during the show. Does that make sense? They didn't go to the Oscars, they just watched it together with their "friends". Check out Oprah's reaction when they announced Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whittaker. Congrats to them both again! Check out Eve. She finally covered the paw prints on her chest up. Good look Eve, very good look. But honestly, why was she there? Gabrielle Union looked nice in red. Not too many can pull off red. Chris Tucker was there sans his supposed girlfriend India.Arie.




The Smiths looked cute. Jada killed the night. For the Afterparty, she kept on her dress because, she was flawless! She honestly looked gorgeous, like for real! Jennifer better sing in that Oscar! In the words of Beyonce's Get Me Bodied Remix Pose for the Camera, now FLICK FLICK FLICK. And look at Mary! GORGEOUS!!! She is sooo good. And Diddy looks like he was the star of the show...NOT!!!




Look at the ladies of the Oscar After Party! Wait.. is that Gail!? Come on now. Oprah looked nice. Yeah, I gave her a compliment... Kimora!? Everyone can't rock feathers like Penelope.. Check my note from yesterday!




Now the couples of the Oscars.. Damon Dash and his wife Rachel. I guess they were both gangsta with no teeth showing. Keisha and Forrest. She looked good enough too to keep on her dress. The hottest couple, Kanye and Diddy showing some QT time. I'm just kidding but I think they are both a little... ANYWAY! Kanye and his fiance, her name is Alexis. Nick Cannon and his supposed wife. They got married, according to the media, like last weekend. Selita Ebanks, she's a Victoria Secret's model. Kendu and Mary always stepping out. And finally Kimora and Andre from Vogue!




There are a couple of pics from the actual party. Oh and get this. Notice there are no pictures of Eddie Murphy? Yeah well after he didn't receive the award, him and his date, Tracey Edmonds, bounced! How childish. Like, support your fellow coworkers. Come on Eddie!

And The Academy Award Goes To...

Okay, if you missed it then, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!

The Academy Awards took place last night in Los Angeles at the Kodak Theatre. Everybody who IS somebody was there. My favorite part of the night, When Jada and Will's son and the girl from Little Miss Sunshine presented an award. It was too cute.




Well, let's congratulate Forest Whittaker for taking home the best actor award. And less CONGRATULATE JENNIFER!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! That's exactly how I screamed in my room and then I cried for a minute. Like I know her or something. But this girl came from singing show tunes on Carnival Cruise Ships to winning an Oscar! It gets no better. And Anika Rose looked nice. Metallic is in this season and her sequins looked good. I liked it. However, Jennifer.... The jacket made her younger. I don't know about that one. I'm going to watch Fashion Police:The Oscars tonight. Forrest was regular in a tuxedo however, he still killed it! LET'S GO BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!! lol




Jada, GORGEOUS! Forest Whittaker's wife,Keisha... GORGEOUS! Jennifer Lopez, GORGEOUS! Beyonce, GOOD. Bey didn't shock me and she didn't thrill me. She just was. Last week her weave was cute with the two-toned was cute. But last night, it was like, Yeah, I'm not nominated so I don't really care. But can someone please look at the back of Keisha Whittaker's dress! Can we say flawless! If you are going to wear a backless dress, for one there needs to be no backne (back and acne combined) and no discoloration. i.e., look like Keisha! Jennifer did pull the Greek theme on us but it worked. The design of the back of her dress was better than the front! I loved it!




The Smiths were there. John Singleton was there!? Okay... Spike and his wife were there. On the pre-show he said something that I found very becoming. He told Ryan Seacrest that Jennifer Hudson is not only a good singer, she is a good actress and he would not even make her audition! Come on now, that came from Spike Lee, eventhough he's mean! It was from Spike. Keith Robinson was there. Quincy ditched his girlfriend for one of his daughters Rashida. And again, I just loved Keisha's dress. Beyonce wore a dress very similar to some awards show but her back was not like that.




Eddie showed up with Tracey. Honestly, does she not feel bad at all!? Like does she really see no problem with dating him? And Elmer holding up that Oscar! I gotta see the movie now....




Was anyone else in love with Penelope Cruz's dress? I know it was a bit different but I loved it! I absolutely loved it! Oh and another back you could copy, Anika Rose's looking flawless. Shaun Robinson, Cass Tech alum, was there with a nice ring... probably borrowed but it was there. The real Chris Gardner was there last night. And Best Supporting Actor Nominee, Djimon Hounsou looked rather daper.

Well, I'll look for some more shots after lunch... enjoy

The Green Initiative

The Green Initiative. If you see green bracelets on celebrities arms now, its because they are supporting Africa. Russell Simmons has started what he calls the Green Initiative that he announced December 2006. 25% of the proceeds will go towards the Diamond Empowerment Fund, which helps support institutions in South Africa and Botswana. I think this is a good deed solely because Botswana has if not the highest, one of the higest rates of HIV. Check an earlier note I did on Botswana and AIDS on World AIDS Day, Dec.1. Simmons Jewelry Co. is the design genius behind the collection. An affair was hosted for the launch of the G.I. (Green Initiative). Eva looked nice. Serena looked nice, and also Sanaa! GORGEOUS! Gotta love a girl who can snatch Denzel! HAHA. J/K.

Stars & Strikes Bowling event

The Stars & Strikes Celebrity Bowling event was held yesterday for the charity A Place Called Home Charity in LA. Omarion and Marques Houston stopped through to take a picture with Shondrella! If you don't know the name, she was the girlfriend of Napolean Dynamite's brother in the movie and she is also on this show on Oxygen that features women pulling pranks. I can't remember the name of the show right now but... whatever. Oh and Keke Palmer was there with a Disney friend I bet. Cory Hardrict, Tia Mowry's new fiance was there sans Tia. I have no idea who he is but he had a picture so... there you go!

Jennifer's GIANT Party

Jennifer celebrated for her cover of Giant in Los Angeles at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. She did it up. She looked cute in the floral print dress. And was snapping pics all night with Janet Jackson and Jamie Foxx. Also in attendance were Omarion, Marques Houston, Lil Jon, and Lisa Raye. Lisa Raye looked nice. Finally she's finding herself...... again. Kimora and Vivica showed up. Vivica looked like a wannabe prom queen...




Serena Williams looked a little beat up at the party. Terrell Owens is making a comeback. I'm proud. John Singleton even stopped through. Oh and someone please call Taraji P. Henson and tell her she knows she's wrong! Now, I love that girl but for real T!? For real? Or a new word I learned last night... Word? HAHA!




Check out how good Janet looks. I love her. And Jamie was killing it... as usual. But on the serious side, do you see how bad that bag is that Janet was carrying? Like, for real, she was hot that night... NO HOMO or whatever you say...

Gerald Levert

Gerald Levert. According to many websites that I have been on an Ohio coroner said that Gerald Levert died from an "accidental" mix of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

The drugs that were found in his bloodstream included narcotic pain relievers Vicodin, Percocet, and Darvocet along with anxiety medication Xanax and two over-the-counter antihistamines. I don't know anything about medicines but that even sounds like a lot to be taking at once. Geauga County Coroner Kevin Chartrand says the official cause of death was acute intoxication and the death was ruled accidental.

Also, the autopsy found that Gerald Levert had pneumonia. A family friend, Andy Gibson, said that Gerald was taking the pain medication because of surgery he had had in 2005 to fix a severed Achilles tendon. He was also a victim of anxiety attacks which is why he took the Xanax.

A week prior to Levert's death he was in South Africa for a concert. After he returned home he was complaining about a bite on his back. All of these factors play a part in his death and also left Gerald in severe pain. The coroner went on to say that the combination of drugs proved to be lethal and probably stopped his breathing.

Barak Runs...

Obama officially announces he's running for president on Saturday. He is the youngest candidate in the upcoming primaries at 45 years old. However, Sen. Clinton is CURRENTLY dominating the polls. During his address from the state capital, where he was held a position for the past ten years, he stated that he is a staunch opponent of the Iraq was and the fact that he has a lack of political experience is an asset. “Let us transform this nation,” he told his audience during his campaign kickoff.

Get Me Bodied Set

Beyonce shot the video for Get Me Bodied this weekend. Michelle and Kelly are in the video. Here they are.
