| Posted: 21 Jul 2013 08:26 AM PDT Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted on vacation in Saint-Tropez (which is normal...for her) but the shots of her smoking cigs and going topless in front of her kids might make you scratch you head. See the NSFW pics inside.... Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted on vacation with her family and friends in Saint-Tropez over the weekend. She tweeted an adorable pic of her kids and captioned, "Ain't nobody messin wit my click..!! #mediterranean". If you know Kimora's back story, you'll recall that she was the face of Chanel at a very young age. So she's ALWAYS been "international." But her "European" behavior aboard her yacht might have some folks scratching their heads. Seriously....going topless in front of your son isn't very "cookie-cutter" American....but neither is Kimora. The rest of Kimora's clique also got an eyefull of her perky bosoms and phenomenal body. And she was also seen puffing on a few cigarettes! At least she stepped away from the kids to get her smoke on.

| Posted: 21 Jul 2013 06:53 AM PDT Beyonce, Jay Z, MC Lyte and Jesse Jackson were among the thousands who participated in Trayvon Martin rallies in over 100 cities around the country yesterday. See photos from around the US inside, and hear the words of encouragement Jamie Foxx shared about Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton. Music's most powerful couple, Jay Z and Beyonce, appeared at a memorial for Trayvon Martin in NYC yesterday. Beyonce was joined by her mother, Tina Knowles, as they walked alongside over 2,000 protestors in Lower Manhattan. And it's clear that the Trayvon Martin verdict has touched the hearts of the entire Knowles family. A few day ago, Solange Knowles participated in a rally at Borough Hall in Brooklyn. The couple posed with Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton and Rev. Al Sharpton and landed on the cover of the NY Daily News. Rev. Sharpton remarked about the couple's appearance at the rally saying,
The ‘Justice for Trayvon Martin’ protest began with a press conference at Rev. Sharpton's NAN offices where Sybrina told the crowd;
As for how she felt about the verdict, Sybrina said, “We have moved on from the verdict. Of course, we’re hurting. Of course we’re shocked and disappointed. But that just means we have to roll up our sleeves and fight.”
The NYC protest was one of several that took place around the nation. In Chicago.....
Rapper MC Lyte (who posed with Rev. Jesse Jackson) spoke to over 500 people rallied across from the Everett McKinley Dirksen federal courthouse. She shared, "When the verdict was read, I felt like we lost Trayvon Martin all over again." And in San Diego,
Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson addressed the racially charged case at Comic-Con in San Diego. Though he was there to promote his role as the villain Electro in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2," Jaime also offered support to Trayvon's mom, Sybrina.
He also commented on gun violence in America saying,
And when Samuel Jackson was asked about the rallies being held in Trayvon's honor in dozens of US cities, he said, he was "encouraged by the attitude of people after the verdict, that people are willing to stand up and take a stand and get out in the streets, and let their voices be heard.”

The stylish starlet, who's set to debut her reality show "Styled To Rock" in the US this fall, wore a very casual pair of overalls which she rolled up to show off her sneakers. And while signing autographs and posing for pics with fans, The "Phresh Out The Runway" singer showed off her iced-out grill.
And in LA..... Famed rocker Cee-Lo was spotted cruising down Sunset BLVD in one of his classic cars. The custom matte black Speedster is just one of Cee-Lo's fancy cars, as he recently purchased an an eco-friendly Fisker Karma super car. The "Crazy" singer is set to reprise his role as a judge on "The Voice" when Season 5 debuts on September 23. And since he was aware of the cameras......he didn't mind putting on a little show. "Look Mom...no hands"!

| Posted: 20 Jul 2013 02:06 PM PDT Music's most powerful couple, Jay Z and Beyonce appeared at a memorial for Trayvon Martin today. See pics inside as well as pics and video of Jay Z performing with Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys at Yankee Stadium and the afterparty pics, Earlier today, Jay Z and Beyonce attended the ‘Justice for Trayvon Martin’ vigil where they posed (atop) with Rev. Al Sharpton and Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother. The vigil began with a rally in Harlem before moving down to Lower Manhattan where a peaceful protest and rally was held. While speaking at the National Action Network Headquarters, Sybrina told the crowd;
As for how she felt about the verdict, Sybrina said, “We have moved on from the verdict. Of course, we’re hurting. Of course we’re shocked and disappointed. But that just means we have to roll up our sleeves and fight.”
And Friday night...... Jay Z threw on a fitted cap and rocked the mic at Yankee Stadium for a sold-out concert. The show was his first USA stop on the "Legends Of The Summer" tour with Justin TImberlake. Jay performed crowd favorites like "99 Problems", "Hard-Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", and HGMC tracks "Tom Ford" and "F---WithMeYouKnowIGotIt". And fellow NY native, Alicia Keys, did a crowd-pleasing cameo. After Justin put a blues-styled spin on the classic "New York, New York", Jay brought out Alicia to sing the hook for "Empire State of Mind." Backstage, Alicia was spotted with her husband, Swizz Beatz (who's produced some of HOVA's biggest hits).
And after the concert....it's the after party! Following the concert, Jay and Bey headed over to 40/40 for the official Legends of The Summer after party. After grabbing a few nibbles, Jay and Bey joined their guests and sipped on D'USSE cocktails. We imagine that Beyonce must have hopped on a private jet right after the Trayvon Martin rally since she's booked to perform in Detroit tonight.
