| DO WE LOVE IT: Cassie's Leather & Denim Pants Look Posted: 28 Sep 2012 09:59 AM PDT Leave it to Cassie to rock a black leather pants/denim shorts combo. Decide if we love the fashion loving chick's rainy L.A. streets look inside... Singer Cassie was spotted leaving the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A. last night rocking this interesting combo look: In what seems to be black leather chap-like pants over her denim shorts, singer Cassie rocked the combo with her blue & white Nikes, turquoise Birkin bag and a grey/neon yellow tee and leather hoodie. Cassie can pull off pretty much anything, but did she pull this one off? DO WE LOVE IT?!

She looks grown, sexy and more sure of herself than before. As her "Put It Down" single featuring Chris Brown reached #5 on the Billboard charts yesterday, B Rocka revealed to her Twitter followers that she previously thought her music career was done:
This is her first time in the Top 10 since her "What About Us?" single featuring Kanye West a decade ago. Two Eleven drops October 16th. And the 33-year-old couldn't appear more ready. Brandy's also gearing up for a special concert for her album on November 11th in D.C. It goes down at 8p at the Howard Theater....and it's standing room only. Work.

This time, it's boxing champ Floyd Mayweather and his "Money Team" homie Ray-J hitting up Diamonds of Atlanta last night. Stacks on deck....and replacement strippers (so they seemed) in the mix. Floyd & Ray-J rained a reported $50,000 on these chicks last night in the ATL. All because they just needed something to do, and apparently showering thousands of dollars on ass is hip hop's #1 past time. Peep the pics: Oh yeah, ya'll already know Joseline Hernandez was up in there too.
The fellas also had plenty of Patron and Grey Goose handy to liven up the party. Check out more classy pics HERE if you're interested. Gotta love it. Photog: Prince Williams  |

Pics of the ladies, plus Christina Milian's late night dinner date... For some reason, Kimora and her daughters Ming & Aoki always look like they're in the middle of a photoshoot simply when they're walking down the street. That's those model genes apparently: KiKi and her colorful leggings took her girls out for a shopping trip in Beverly Hills. They're getting so tall! Meanwhile, Christina Milian was spotted leaving Mr. Chow late last night with a mystery guy. And in these cut-out leggings and gold sneakers: Interesting choice of clothes Chris.

| DADDY DUTY: Snoop Defends Smoking Weed With His Son + Shaq Takes The Kids Shopping Posted: 27 Sep 2012 03:40 PM PDT Shaquille O'Neal was on daddy duty yesterday as he took his kids to The Grove in L.A. We've got pics of celeb dads spending time with their kiddies--even doing some controversial ish--inside.... Shaq's kiddies (who he shares with ex-wife "Basketball Wives" star Shaunie O'Neal) got a shopping spree form daddy yesterday. Shaq and the kiddies hit up The Grove, and the whole crew was in tow--Myles, 14, Shareef, 12, and Shaqir, 9, and daughters Amirah, 10, and Me'arah, 6. Now that he and girlfriend Hoopz have broken up, and the NBA season is on a break right now, he's got a lot more time to spend with his brood of kids.

These kids love the cameras.

And as for fathers stirring up controversy with their kids: After these pics surfaced online of Snoop and his 18-year-old son Corde sharing bongs and blunts, folks were outraged. But Snoop has defended his decision to smoke out with his son. He tells The Hollywood Reporter in his new cover story:
Alrighty then.... Snoop does hold a medical marijuana license in Cali. But no word on if his son does as well.

| Walk An $800 Mile In Blue Ivy's Shoes.... Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:35 PM PDT Jay-Z may have spit a line about most of these rappers not being able to walk in his daughter's socks...and he could add shoes to the list too. Check out the custom pink crystallized sneakers one of Beyonce's fave shoe designers, Ruthie Davis, created for Blue Ivy..... Popular shoe designer Ruthie Davis created a special treat for one of her biggest customer's daughter. Check out the pink leather sneakers covered in purple Swarovski crystals and purple laces designed specifically for Blue Ivy...and their called the Jamie: The shoes are worth a good $800. And when you know your baby is going to outgrow these joints in a matter of weeks, that's a lot of dough to toss out. But it was all a fabulous custom gift to Blue from the designer herself. Ruthie posted a pic of the sneakers on the company's Facebook page saying, “Take a look at the Baby Ruthie’s I made especially for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy…so sweet, right?” Blue can now add these kicks to her already fly collection of sneakers--like her Marc Jacob and Jeremy Scott x Adidas sneakers. And if you were hoping those shoes came in an adult version, you're in luck: Ruthie also posted a pic of the "Pierce" High Top in Tan Multi with RoseGold Spikes, bathed in Swarovski Crystals. And they go for a cool $1898 at Neiman Marcus. And apparently, there were unfounded rumors that Beyonce was expecting her second child. Papa Jay shut those rumors down last night at his NBA 2K13 event answering E! News when they asked if Bey is pregnant:
So there you have it.  |
| Heat Baller Udonis Haslem & Fiancée Faith Rein's ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS Posted: 27 Sep 2012 01:44 PM PDT Miami Heat champ Udonis Haslem is on his way to copping another ring....a wedding ring. Check out the 32-year-old baller's new engagement pics featuring him, his fiancée Faith Rein, and that pretty ring of hers... Photographer April Belle--who seems to be every Heat wife/girlfriend's choice of picture taker--snapped a cute engagement photo session of Udonis & Faith recently. The twosome, who have one son together, met back in college at University of Florida. Faith was a track star and, of course, Udonis was a b-ball star. They've been together for years and have finally made it official. Faith tweeted the images saying she's "excited" and revealed, "My fiance and me. On the way to official status." I'm glad he got rid of the braids and all, but couldn't we also get a better haircut for engagement pics? And if you're wondering if Faith could be the next addition to "Basketball Wives," that doesn't look like a possibility. Check out her interview with Ballertainment last year saying Udonis would never go for that. Good call. Congrats to the couple!  |
| Tyson Chandler & His Eyebrow Raising Outfit Hosts New York Photo Exhibit Posted: 27 Sep 2012 12:26 PM PDT NY Knick Tyson Chandler hosted "A Year In A New York Minute" photo exhibition at Canoe Studios in NYC last night. But while this was all for a good cause, his outfit stole the show. And not in a good way.
Pics of his foolywangery inside... We're not sure if there was miscommunication between the tailor and stylist about Tyson's measurements, or if this was done intentionally. But the Knicks baller rolled up on the red carpet last night of a photo exhibit hosted by his website and UNICEF, rocking capri leggings, an oversized black tee and a scrunched sleeve blazer. The black shoes and socks were also baffling: Yeah, we get Kanye West and others have guys thinking skinny capris are A-OK for men, but no. Hopefully we'll receive a letter of explanation so we can stop our random guesses about what this look was supposed to be. Tyson's wife Kimberly rocked a cute look from Stella McCartney and her embroidered Louboutin pumps.
She kicked it with stylist June Ambrose. Who looked pretty fab herself. And Chef Roble was on hand to cook the yummy eats and was filming for his new season of his Bravo show. Tyson's teammate Amar'e Stoudemire hit up the event with his fiancee Alexis.
Carmelo Anthony was there flying solo. And he's on the border of getting asked if his look was inspired by Where's Waldo. We love Melo though! The newest Knicks baller Jason Kidd was there with his wife Porschla Coleman.
Michael Strahan was there flying solo. Cutie Knicks baller J.R. Smith (left) hit the carpet with his little brother Chris, who was also just signed to the Knicks.
Baller Iman Shumpert and his hi-top fade and whole 80's get up hit the carpet. Baller Baron Davis brought his crutch on the carpet. And the fellas all posed for a pic at the event. Fun times. Pics: Twitter  |
| Wiz Khalifa Covers XXL's October 2012 Issue With Fiancee AMBER ROSE & THE BABY BUMP Posted: 27 Sep 2012 11:41 AM PDT Rapper Wiz Khalifa and his 28-year-old model fiancee Amber Rose just gave their unborn baby its first cover shoot. Check out the couple covering the October 2012 issue of XXL magazine inside, and dishing on their all natural no-medicine water birth plans... In the October/November issue of XXL mag, Pittsburgh's golden boy is covering the pages with his own tattoo covered body and his fiance Amber Rose. Oh, and Amber's uncovered baby bump.
The 25-year-old "Work Hard, Play Hard" rapper has been extra vocal about the love for his gal, and vice versa, so it's no surprise he's touting her on magazine covers with him while he does promo for his upcoming O.N.I.F.C. album. Inside the cover story, the two gush about their love for each other, the no-medicine water birth Amber plans to have, and Wiz moving his recording sessions to his house just to care for his woman and his baby-on-the-way. Isn't that...special. Here's a few highlights from the interview...
The twosome do seem happily in love. Amber's due early 2013. Congrats again! Photog: Sarah McColgan  |
