The Daily Buzz For Feb 28



Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s Steamy L’Officiel Hommes Cover
Unlike most, we’ve maintained a muted stance on the relationship of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. After all, who are we to judge?
However, the shameless duo have elevated media whoring to lofty new levels on the latest cover of L’Officiel Hommes.
Clearly paying homage to the deed that made Kardashian a household name in the first place, the couple (who are expecting a child together) seem adamant to show the world just how into each other they are – literally.
And while sharing every nugget of life is Kardashian Family Values, we’re a little perplexed (and disappointed) with Kanye.

This is the same Yeezy moaning to everyone and their dog about the “system” and how it’s set up to fail artists, only to willingly “sell” his relationship for coin and exposure the very same week. Again, we love us some Kanye and his crazy ways, but we’re going to need him to have an arena of seats with this one. Pronto.
Your thoughts?



SNEAKER FAB: Beyonce Nabs Her Own Custom "King Bey" Isabel Marant Wedge Sneaker
Beyonce is the latest high-profile celeb to have a high-end custom sneaker designed in her honor.   And it's one fit for a Queen (Bey):
PMK, the geniuses behind Jay-Z's re-imagined Air Jordan 1's "Brooklyn Zoo" have now created a sneaker in honor of Beyonce called "King Bey" Isabel Marant Sneaker Wedge.
The one-of-a-kind design takes the Isabel Marant sneaker wedge to another level with what the company called the "Eden treatment." The press release says "A hybrid of land and sea skins are used to create this handcrafted creation. Stingray, Ostrich, calfs fur, Crocodile, and Anaconda give the already impeccable design atitude and the tones of white mixed with gold stitched details produces a feeling of elegance, mimicking the southern belle's sweet and fierce persona. Perfectly made describes this design best."
And since the Isabel Marant sneaker trend went through the roof--selling out everywhere--after Bey rocked the black suede versions in her "Love On Top" video, it's only right she gets a lil something special.

So....DO WE LOVE IT?

Meek Mill Gets Put On Blast By Groupie & His Girlfriend Responds!!
Rappers these days have no idea how the female mind works. For starters, women these days have ulterior motives and its not just about the paper anymore. Its more about what women can get, and how they can prove they've got it. This is no different for the female named Alexus who caught Meek Mill slipping as they had a one night stand after one of Meek Mill's shows. And to prove to the masses that she got the drawers of Meek Mill, she snapped the photo above of Meek Mill sleeping and snoring in her bed!

Now most people feel that if ole girl Alexus was going to let Meek Mill smash, she should've gotten paid for it. At least that's what Meek Mill's current on/off again girlfriend Jasmine Thomas thinks!

I'm an up and coming artist. I have Stevie Wonder and Michelle Obama, like everything has changed. I really want to reflect on where I'm at now as a woman, as an artist, and just keep it coming."

Dawn Richard Talks Life Lessons From Diddy, Being A Whore For Her Man + Missing Danity Kane
Over the weekend, newly independent artist Dawn Richard held a private album release celebration in DC, before her concert at Howard Theatre. The New Orleans native was all smiles, as she gave a very open and candid interview with us. The sweeties over at The Jasmine Blog got her to open up about all things Diddy and Danity Kane, what went wrong in her public relationship with Que (formerly of Day 26) and being a whore (her words, not ours) for her new man. 
Check the interview out below.

On the most challenging record on her album:
That’s a good question. Everything was organic. Most of the songs were written in a half an hour which was different from the process of working with Dirty Money. There were aren’t any challenging or difficult moments with recording this album.

Three things she learned from Diddy:
One….If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will. Diddy is the king of believing in himself. Two….Marketing your brand. It’s so important to be able to sell yourself as a brand and believe in that brand enough to give it to people in a way that’s honest, raw, genuine and ever-evolving. Three…Presentation is everything. I am always fine tuning ways of marketing myself because now I don’t have the same push as I did when I was with a big label.

Her favorite gospel song:
Prodigal Son by Kim Burrell

Favorite song to get dressed to before a party:
Army of me by Bjork

Favorite ratchet song:
All Gold Everything by Trinidad James. That is my shit.

Favorite song to get her in the mood in the bedroom:
Anything by Sade. Mostly Ordinary Love or Cherish the Day. If you put on
Sade, we will make a baby.

On what she misses most from Danity Kane:
The funny drunk moments. Those girly moments. Being on the stage. We had great, great chemistry. We had fun.

On her relationship with the other former members of Danity Kane:
I love them. Yes, we speak we can. They are my girls forever. But nothing can last when you’re competing each other. People misunderstood us. We did our best to support and love one another in the way that we were created. But we did a hell of a job. We weren’t like Destiny’s Child who grew up as sisters and chose that. We were put together. It’s hard to have something like that in that situation. But I still love them.

Her view on a possible Danity Kane reunion:
Oh, I would do it. But everybody has to want to do it.

Her views on being in a relationship and being an entertainer:
I don’t think it’s tough when you’re honest. I think people make it tough when you choose to be dishonest. It would have been easier if he was just honest and he wasn’t. I am a private person and it took a lot out of me to put my relationship out there. Honesty would have carried us farther.

On what her previous relationship with Que from Day 26 taught her:
It taught me a lot about myself and what I could withstand. I was surprised that I wasn’t more violent when I found out some things. But I surprised myself with being more kind, understanding and tolerant. I used to look at it as being horrible; now I look at it as something that I had to go through. I appreciate what Que was. I still love him as a person. But the relationship ran its course. It wasn’t meant to be.

On whether or not she is relationship-oriented:
I’m a serial monogamous. I am great at being single but when I’m with someone, I can be with them forever. I am a Leo, I am loyal and I can find the beauty in you even at your worst.

On who she is dating now:
I am dating. I won’t tell you who it is. It’s very private. But I am very nasty. I’m very sexual. Girl, I am a whore for my man. So, because I am all over the place for him, I keep things to myself. But I’ve always been secretive because I am such a wild child.

On whose wardrobe she would swap with in the industry:
Daphne Guinness. She is incredible. She is a style icon. She isn’t an entertainer but she is a style muse. I love everything she has.

On whether or not she wears Spanx:
Nope. Whatever you see hanging out is hanging out. Hahaha. The cellulite on my ass, stretchmarks and all. Take me as I am.

Three items in her purse she can’t live without:
Lip gloss, my iPhone, my Nokia and condoms, you know, just in case.

On what she wants her legacy to be:
That I changed music. That I changed the sound of R&B.

Maino's Baby Momma Zakia Baum TALKS Blasts Lil' Kim For CREEPING With Her (Ex) Man
Since the cancellation of her show "Starter Wives Confidential" reality star Zakim Baum, who's also the mother of Maino's 11-year-old son, talked to the Street Disciplez  about 50 Cent lying about getting the show cancelled.  She also gave her thoughts on Lil' Kim cheating with Maino. Here are the highlights:

ON LATE NIGHT CALLS FROM LIL KIM AND KIM DATING MAINO'S BEST FRIEND FIRST:
"I heard things about them being together while we were together. I just had calls at night, her calling in the wee hours of the morning. His cell phone; he seems to not remember this though, but I remember it quite clearly."

"I knew she was dating his friend before that. Not only his friend, his best friend. So I never imagined it. I would see pictures of them out, my girlfriends would always send me pictures. It's interesting, when she did her show, people would tell me, no he's with her; this day he's with her, that day. And then when that jail show [Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown] came out, I'm like this f*cking b*tch is lying, pardon my French. And I'm like, damn, Jermaine was with her, and I confronted him, but he never admitted to being with her, ever."

ON WHETHER SHE EVER CONFRONTED LIL KIM:
"The only time I saw her, I saw her twice with him. It was at a video shoot, and one was at, he did a show, I don't even want to remember that. He had a show, and it was a bit crazy. But, maybe it was my naievete at the time, I still thought that, I thought he was screwing her manager Hillary at the time. I didn't know who it was. I knew it was one of them, but I didn't think it was her initially. In my mind, a woman can't be with one man, a person's best friend, and then be with him. It just didn't, I couldn't imagine that, I couldn't fathom it. Until calls in the middle of the night, and then I got so much proof after we were broken up. I mean people were telling me they were together the whole time. They were together. The times when you thought they were together, they were together. So, I really got my proof after we were broken up."

"But I want the record to be clear, Lil Kim is not someone that I'm thinking about. I'm not even thinking about Jermaine. That particular [episode] I was angry not about Kim being there, because she's completely insignificant to me, I was upset at Monica just not telling me. So that was it. It was just the principle, and I'm a person that's big on principle."

ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SHOW BEING PICKED UP BY ANOTHER NETWORK:
"This is what we're battling right now. It's a lot. We're still, I can't say too much, we're not settled with what happened because we still can't grasp how after two episodes how you make a decision. They didn't give it a chance. You can't compare it to a 'Honey Boo Boo' or 'Say Yes to the Dress'. I'm sure when these shows started, they weren't bringing in big numbers. It just doesn't make sense. After the second episode, they pretty much made up their mind that we would be going to TLC.com. So that quite actually doesn't sit well with us."


ON 50 CENT SAYING HE GOT THE SHOW PULLED:
"I can tell you one thing, 50 Cent did not have anything to do with us being pulled off. I know he put that rumor out there, and I don't even know why he would care. He succeeded at, I don't even know if he succeeded. I'm not even going to get into that. I can't even talk about that with Shaniqua not being on the show, who would have been such a pivotal person on the show. She's a wonderful and awesome person. I love her. She is the one, we are the closest."

J.R. Smith Responds To K. Michelle's Interview On Power 105
From the looks of what's going on, it seems that K. Michelle and J.R. Smith had a pretty bad break up. The reason why I say this is because during K. Michelle's interview with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" she went into detail about how J.R. Smith went out of his way to hurt her feelings on Twitter when she was really in love with him. If you missed out on K. Michelle's interview with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" then check it out when you go (here).

Well, it seems that J.R. Smith is not done yet with his subliminals on Twitter because shortly after K. Michelle's interview came out he had this to say about it on Twitter......when you look below:
Then J.R.'s Twitter fans followed up with these tweets below:
I hope things get better for these two because going at each other like this on a public networking site is #No Bueno. What are your thoughts?

Clive Davis Clears Up Whitney Houston Rumors
In his autobiography, 'The Soundtrack of My Life', Clive Davis comes clean about his own sexuality, and touches on the rumors surrounding his most iconic artist, Whitney Houston...'
The Grio's Chris Witherspoon asked Clive Davis about the persistent lesbian rumors surrounding Whitney Houston and her former best friend and personal assistant Robyn Crawford.

Clive tells Chris,
“As I saw Whitney, and you keep your personal life to a separate side, I really saw her in brief relationships with men. I do write about that. She did have an interim relationship with Jermaine Jackson when he was separated.”
“I know of other boyfriends. I know she went out with Eddie Murphy for a while until she married Bobby Brown. I only knew of Robyn as her assistant, someone she grew up with, since she was a teenager. I just knew the heterosexual side of Whitney.”
