Amber Rose is doing something new, making music. Labeled as arm candy by many industry head honchos, Amber doesn't seem to mind living up to the title. She appears in public flawless, fabulous, and fashionable while the paps just play snap snap with their camera toys. Rose's song Fame hit the internet and really has taken us by storm. Fame is quickly reaching the 800,000 mark on You Tube. That is a heck of a number from someone who has not been popular on the music scene. Amber's reputation...

Before Brandy ever made us love her song bird sound, she built a name for herself in television on sitcoms like Thea and Moesha. Those were the days when television was fun because of her sunshine personality. There is no denying the fact that Brandy Norwood has serious acting skills. She can easily adapt to any role and bring that realness to a character that keeps you glued in until the end. Believable and real is the only way to describe her on screen track record. Her latest video and c...

At first glance (of Kesha's stage presence) you may not be able to resist getting a little patriotic because she is looking so all American. Before I show you how she put a spin on the red, white, and blue, let's explore her style and lyrics in the video for one of her hits that has over 43 million views on You Tube. We R Who We R is the name of the tune. Is it all about being yourself? You will have to judge for yourself. In the song, Kesha talks about ripped up stockings, looking sexy,...

The facts seem unbelievable, but they are true.  He is a rapper who came into the industry after many of today's biggest Rap Stars, surpassed their accomplishments , and also rose to fame rather quickly. There are many who will credit his rise to his affiliation with Jay-Z and still others who will say that his beat making skills allowed him to advance in ways that lyrical skills alone couldn't, even on a 2-Pac Day. Both explanations seem logical enough to accept as vital contributors to hi...

Putting a look together for work is similar to the way clothing is chosen for any other occasion but with a little extra caution and attention. As always, there is some discretion and consideration to the over all environment. Today, I will show you one of my casual work styles to bring us down off our hoop love celebration so that we can see things a little more clear. Here I am standing upright hands at my side with a straight face and level head.

Ahhh......a real sigh of relief for all the loyal Superman fans who were left in limbo with thier thoughts thinking major destruction like krytonite's danger to the actual Superhero, when the news first broke that Howard could possibly be suiting up with another team. Thinking along those lines was something that many fans dreaded to even ponder and the idea of the deadline coming during the height of the Basketball Season, just salted the idea even more. Yuck, what a bad taste for fans. Ma...

Angelina Jolie wears Atelier Versace during many of her very public appearances at Award Shows and even at some fund raisers. She was photographed recently at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards wearing an clingy Versace Gown that fit her slender frame like a glove. Blogs all over the internet were going crazy with post over this gown. The highlight that got all the attention was the red factor that was present at her neck. The collar stood out bold because of its red hue. Of course, Jolie ...

The girl (who satisfied her sweet tooth with music instead of snacks) sure made dessert fun again for all of her true fans, when she created her hit song called Milkshake. For the competition and others who looked on with raised brows, she just got low for them by dropping Bossy which screamed female empowerment. Young women everywhere always seem to be inspired by females who are not afraid to take the lead.

Time and time again, Kelis has lead fans on a journey of discovery. Fleshtone, h...

There have been many songs created in the Big Easy by talented artist who could have really made major headway on a national level, but because of the unique culture and in part lack of effort on the part of many local artist, the amount of success received was only leveled throughout New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Artist like Jubilee and TT Tucker are some local artist who worked the Independent to the maximum. Block Party DJ's know how to get it cracking for the hood. Radio stati...

The headline read something like this: Kate On Her Own, yes Kate Middleton apparently will have to do without her Prince William for a little while, but she will have sweet memories floating in her head as she awaits his return.

Beyonce made her intention to become a mother by age 30 very clear before she actually made the big announcement of her pregnancy to the world on live television.

Every now and then, it is really necessary to upgrade your look and overall style. What brings you to this new found point of reinvention is not important. The fact that you are there means that you are open minded about change. A lifestyle change, a new job, or just a general desire to do something different are a few reasons why many of us make the leap to a makeover. Feelings of self worth and increased self-esteem are similar reasons that encourage a lift in confidence or increased per...

The Autumn/Winter Y-3 Fashion Show that took place in early February was all about mysterious style with acessories to match.

Exploring ideas about how girls and boys enjoy playtime, similarities in style, and Lego as an alternativbe to Disney certainly puts the spotlight on recreation and quality time with family. A lot holds true in the ring of boy meets girl for playtime. Most boys certainly like cars, trucks, and action figures. That's why it doesn't surprise me that boys also enjoy building things with Lego's plastic toy bricks. Girls are not excluded from the boys circle of everything in motion hero or st...
