Nice.  Her hubby Djimon Hounsou thought so too I'm sure: Hot.   Miss Jay was there to try on shoes of course. Dania Ramirez hit up the event as well and showed off her cute purple and blue shoes: Looking fab ladies. And across the country in NYC, Wendy Williams hosted the Paper Magazine 2011 Nightlife Awards at the Hiro Ballroom: She rocked a nude dress with black mesh.  Despite popular belief, I think she looks good.

MAGAZINE FAB: Lenny Kravitz COVERS "THE BLOCK" Magazine, Talks About Living Life In His Trailer Posted: 28 Sep 2011 07:30 AM PDT Sexy hard rocker Lenny Kravtiz covers issue no. 25 of lifestyle publication "THE BLOCK."  See photos  of the 47-year-old inside and get the deets on his latest album...   With his new album Black and White America riding high on the chart, the timelessly stylish rocker, Lenny Kravtiz, talked with "THE BLOCK" about the state of music in the states.  “I’m not happy nobody makes albums anymore.  The album is a piece of art. A painting, a sculpture, a book, a photograph. I grew up in a time when albums were monumental. Stevie, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Stones, whatever it might be. They were serious things and they were beautiful. It was a statement, the entire album. Now we have the ability to pick apart the songs. As far as keeping the preservation of the album, it’s the worst thing. It’s like going to buy art and saying, I’ll just take the left corner of the painting in the bottom. I want the foot. Well, the intention was the entire painting. It’s the same thing with the album.” He also shared a story about coming up with his own album title. “I thought of the name while I was watching this documentary about Obama. These people were saying they were going to stop him from being president, saying we got plans, he’s going to be killed, we want to take America back to the way it was 100 years ago. Of course we know racism exists, but when we hear people that are so hateful and ignorant, it’s like really? I want to transcend black and white.” And if you've ever wondered what happens during a day in the life of Lenny Kravtiz, he says, Well, I live in a trailer, like a little Airstream on the beach. First thing I do is get out and look at the sky, thank god for the day, get into the water, sit, think, make music, think about where I’m gonna get lunch from. Go to the studio, make some music. In and out. Whatever I feel like doing. Hanging.”   Making sexy time at the piano, Lenny wears a - Sweater, John Varvatos; Pinky Ring, Pamela Love In this pic, he dons a Hooded sweater, Yigal Azrouël; Trousers, Robert Geller; Necklace, Pamela Love; Belt, Artemas Quibble; Boots, Rick Owens; all other jewelry (worn throughout), Lenny’s own For this pic, Lenny rocks a Waistcoat, Alexandre Plokhov; T-Shirt, All Saints; Leather Trousers, Julius; Boots, Rick Owens; Gold Necklaces (worn as bracelets), Stephen Dweck In this photo, Lenny wears - Sweater, Tim Hamilton; Trousers, 3.1 Phillip Lim; Belt, Robert Geller; Hat, Heather Huey; Rings, Lady Grey   Photos via The Block/Steven Pan

Rihanna was spotted in the New Lodge area of Belfast, Northern Ireland filming more scenes for her "We Found Love" video.  A denim bra top and skirt with ripped thigh high stockings and sneakers made for an interesting look. The pop star, who angered a farmer for going topless in his cornfield, seems to still be causing a "scene" in these snapshots which have her engaging in her typical unruly behavior. She greeted her fans too, before she left the set for the day. At least she looked diva-licious during her exit....
