New Usher Video "Moving Moutains"



Here is Usher's third single and video for "Moving Mountains". The video picks up where "Love In This Club" left off. The video is really cool, but I'm not sure how I feel about this song. Anyways, Usher's fifth studio album, "Here I Stand", hits stores next week on the May 27th. I'm not that excited, hopefully, there is some better material on the album because I really loved the "Confessions" album.

Moment of Lenzism

I'm sure you've all heard the story of Soldier Girl. That bi-polar chick who was WILDIN' in the subway. A few weeks after the video debuted on the internet she's since been arrested and became an internet phenomenon. The price of fame...

Anyway, someone reposted the video with subtitles of what it sounds like she is sayin' and it is HILARIOUS!

Press play:



I love my people!

Photobucket


Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturers of Yaz, a birth control pill, are looking to fashion to reinvent the perception of birth control. Bayer have teamed up with Project Runway judge and ex-fashion director at Elle Magazine, Nina Garcia, and Step Up Women's Network to launch the Yaz: Step Up and Go Beyond Contest, a design challenge to reinvigorate the iconic birth control case into a more sophisticated purse for women. The chosen design will replace the humdrum case that Yaz pills are currently carried in plus the winning contestant stands to received $10,000 towards investing in their career as a designer. Hmmm...parading birth control pills about is soon to become a chic look!


Earlier in the month McDonald's went for a revamp through fashionable uniforms now birth control pills? I'm not sure what to make of this, but I guess now women will feel a lot more comfortable toting around their fashion-forward Yaz birth control carrying purse!

Design submissions end June 30, 2008 and you can click here to enter. Winners will be announced at the New York Fashion Week for fall 2008.

Street Style: Introducing Summer Trends -- A Staple Sandal

Photobucket
Name: Ashley
Spotted: Blackburn Cafe, Howard University


To put your best foot forward this summer please get a stellar pair of sandals that make you own any look! It's not by coincidence either that Harper's Bazaar's May 20th Best Buy Of The Day feature was a pair of Etro sandals (pictured below) so getting that pair of sandals for the summer couldn't come at a more opportune moment.



I love the detailing on Ashley's sandals that gives it that safari chic look thats going to be big this summer. Also, going for a sandal that has an ankle strap of some sort will only flatter, accentuate, and draw admirers to the physique of your ankle/lower leg. The Etro sandals really capture the gladiator sandal trend with the volume of straps it has. Ms. Ashley's, on the other hand, is a more delicate rendition of the gladiator sandal with its single strap. In appreciating the entire sandal complete with its creative ankle straps, it is only natural for the movement of the eyes to welcome the beauty of the lower leg (and hopefully your entire outfit if your as stylish as Ms. Ashley here)! So do away with those flip flops and put your best foot forward people and you can't go wrong this summer!

HAUTE MESS: Disney Couture Pirate's Noose Necklace

DisneyDisney


Okay, so this necklace is wrong for sooo many reasons! (click above to view) After all the incidents with nooses this past year in Jena, University of Maryland, and Golfweek cover- this is just inappropriate even if it's a pirate's noose and not that of a black man! At no point or time will nooses ever be en vogue- it's just too touchy to even go there! They also knew that this would be a touchy item so they chose to have an Asian chick model it! Ugh, I really don't know what Disney was thinking by letting this get past the drawing board. It's just racially insensitive and a haute mess!

Haute Flash: Rihanna and Victoria's Secret????

Rihanna


Rihanna may be on the verge of becoming a Victoria's Secret model - or at least that's what Rihanna's people are telling us. It all started last week when Rihanna half jokingly told a UK magazine that may be interested in creating her very own line of lingerie.

That's when, according to one of Rihanna's peeps, Victoria's Secret came calling. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "No one even contacted [Victoria's Secret], they contacted us ... and they were throwing around all kinds of numbers and ideas. Everyone's excited, especially Rihanna."

This chick is really on a roll! First her line of 'brellas' for Totes and now this? Wow- that's haute girl! I just hope it's not all patent leather...

Music Video: N.E.R.D. - Everybody Nose

The official video for N.E.R.D.'s new single Everybody Nose. Lesbian power couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson make a cameo in the video. Honestly, I don't even think it was a cameo. I think the bitch just heard there was coke in the bathroom. Look how confused she looks in the video lol.

Kanye Tops MTV's Hottest MC's In The Game List

MTV News: Hottest MCs In The Game 2008 | MTV

MTV has released their now controversial Hottest MC In The Game List and this years number one spot actually does not surprise me at all. And I'm sure not the rapper either...
In summer 2007, the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust sat down and had another controversial roundtable debate. Unlike previous discussions, the trustees devised a list of not the greatest ever, but the Hottest MCs in the Game right then. The rankings were based on lyrics, flow, impact on the game, success and swagger. The roundtable recently reconvened and came up with a brand-new list of Hottest MCs. Our experts used the same criteria, but only judged on the past year of hip-hop.

Why He's Hot
With all due respect to the Diddys and Busta Rhymeses of the world, Kanye West has surpassed everyone as the best live performer in hip-hop. Grooming himself on stadium tours with Jay-Z, U2 and the Rolling Stones over the years has done him good. Even if West didn't release another rap this year, he'd still be the hottest for his Glow in the Dark Tour alone. Without exaggeration, it's the greatest one-man show put on by a hip-hop artist, possibly ever. Pure expression, no irony, just an irrefutable avowal that he is the game's most imaginative visionary right now. 'Ye's sold-out set is an orgy of lights, classic songs and conceptual genius. You've never seen anything like it.

Check out the rest of the list at MTV.

Jennifer Hudson Album Info

Photobucket




Jennifer Hudson will release her debut, self-titled album via J Records in September. The first single, "Spotlight", leaked online a few days ago and is expected to impact radio on June 9th. The song is okay, and is clearly written and produced by Ne-yo and Stargate. My problem with the song is it's very "adult contemporary" and Hudson is still young. I have faith that Hudson's voice will shine through on this project. In addition to her new album, Hudson is featured in two films this year "Sex and the City" (May 27th) and "The Secret Life of Bees" (Oct. 17th). So, definitely go out and support her music and movies.

Papoose Facing Legal Issues Too




On the heels of Remy Ma's eight year sentencing, Papoose is also facing legal troubles of his own for a video he recently shot for the diss record "Ambulance". Bed-Stuy Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BSVAC) are planning to sue Papoose for misleading them into believing the video was to showcase the positives of what the ambulance services does for the community.


The video he shot for "Ambulance," his diss record to Brooklyn, New York rapper Uncle Murda, features a BSVAC ambulance and several EMT workers from the branch. However, with lyrics such as "I put your ass in the back of that ambulance truck," Rocky Robinson, co-founder of the BSVAC knew the video was in no way related to the lives saved by the BSVAC.

Robinson had this to say to the New York Daily News: “His people told us the video would be about the neighborhood and how we respond to save lives. We don't want to be a part of something where somebody gets hurt. Our image is everything to us.”

Hopefully Papoose digs himself out of this rot. This couple just can't seem to stay out of legal trouble!
