Nicki Minaj Reveals K-Mart Fall Collection On Instagram [PHOTOS]
Who needs a publicist when you got Instagram? Nicki Minaj used the social media platform to reveal her forthcoming K-Mart clothing collection.
Reports Style Blazer:
Nicki Minaj is making Brooklyn Flea Market fly accessible to the masses. The rapper debut her full fall collection for Kmart on her Instagram on Tuesday that should be available in stores soon. As expected, the fans loved (what we assume is) club gear that included a bodycon dress, velour suits, crop tops and two-piece sets.
Check out photos of the YMCMB's Barbie's K-Mart collection.. Ladies, you'll have to supply those hips and booty on your own, though.
It's clear from the form and prints of the pieces that Minaj had her hand in the design. A fan of Alexander McQueen and Roberto Cavalli, the Young Money star has been building up her empire this year with the premiere of her fragrance, moscato and body lotion. Make that money, girl.
NY Giants Player A Virgin
Well here’s something that you just don’t hear that often…a 24 year old … male virgin … that’s an NFL player. Granted we got used to the whole Tim Tebow thing, but it’s still rare. Giants CB Prince Amukamara has revealed that he is a virgin. Some people even call him a certain nickname because of it.
Prince Amukamara is engaged and is planning to get married in mid-February, right after the Super Bowl. It turns out that will be a bigger deal than we knew.
In an interview with Muscle & Fitness Magazine, which named him to its 2013 All-Stregth Team, the Giants’ starting cornerback talks about how he has never even had a sip of alcohol in his life and proudly proclaims himself to be a virgin.
“Some people call me the black Tim Tebow,” Amukamara said. “Yeah, I am a virgin. I’m not ashamed to say that.”
Amukamara explained why he has not partaken in either pursuit.
“I grew up Catholic, so it just started out as one of those things,” he said. “I’d think, ‘If I do this, maybe I can get to heaven,’ so I said no drinks, no sex, all the big things. As I grew up, I realized that’s not what it’s about. It’s about having a relationship with Jesus. It’s not about ‘Don’t do this. Don’t do that.’ But still, it’s just one of those things I haven’t done, and I don’t see any benefit to doing it. You’re always reading about people getting DUIs. So many bad things that happen and wind up in the paper are alcohol-related, so by not drinking, it saves me, my team, and my family a lot of trouble.”
That doesn’t mean Amukamara will never do them.
“I told my fiancé that I’ll probably take my first drink at my bachelor party,” Amukamara said. “I don’t know if I will.”
Kerry Washington: Dynamic & Diverse 2013 Emmy Nominee Stunner!
She’s up for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series trophy, and Kerry Washington showed plenty of star power at The Dynamic & Diverse- A 65th Emmy Awards Nominee celebration.
The “Scandal” starlet was joined by costar Joe Morton as she strolled around the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood, sporting a marvelous magenta dress teamed with Joan Hornig earrings.
Meanwhile, Kerry was just named the World’s Best Dressed Woman by People Magazine for her daring red carpet choices.
In their “Why We Chose Her” section, People explained, “Washington and her character on Scandal, Olivia Pope, have little in common except for this: impeccable style that results in haute hit after hit and nary a miss. So, how does she always manage to get it right on the red carpet? ‘I like to find balance in an outfit where it doesn't feel too much of any one thing. It's not dressing like a nun and it's also not dressing like I'm in a swimsuit competition. It's finding the middle ground.’”
Drake & The Game Donate Over $20k To Woman Who Lost Entire Family In Trailer Park Fire
There seems to be a positive trend in the celebrity arena, pulling at our heart strings these days. Artists have been donating money to families in need after tragedy strikes. Last week, artists like The Game, Ray J and Snoop Lion donated funds to help bury a 6-year-old name Tiana Ricks, who was killed by a stray bullet in California. And this week, both Drake and The Game have come to the aid of another family in desperate need. Tuesday afternoon, Drake wrote on Instagram:
Myself and @thedocumentary are donating a total of $22,500 to Ana Angel .. who lost her boyfriend & their 5 children in a house fire on behalf of@therobinhoodproject #therobinhoodproject .. What@thedocumentary is doing will never be forgotten. Honored to be able to help people along side my brother.
According to the Associated Press, a fire ripped through an Ohio mobile home killing a man and five young children just a few hours after the children’s mother left to work an early morning shift at a fast-food restaurant. Anna Angel lived in the home with her five children, ages 2 to 6, and her boyfriend. Owanna Ortiz, the woman’s cousin explained:
She had a whole family and now she has nothing. Her kids were her life.
The fire that broke out Sunday morning left neighbors stunned in the mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Firefighters got all six people out in about 12 minutes, but they were pronounced dead at a hospital, Tiffin Fire Chief William Ennis Jr. said. A funeral home handling the arrangements for the children identified them Monday as Tiara Angel, 6; Stormie Huey, 5; Trinity Huey, 4; Sunshine Huey, 3; and Domonic Fresch, 2. The family didn’t have a car and had to get around on bicycles, Ortiz said. She explained:
If she had to get somewhere, they had two strollers they had to take, but they made it work.
Angel was at work when she was told there was a fire at home, Ortiz said. Police and a neighbor said Angel raced home on her bicycle. No additional information has yet been released. Follow The Game’s Robin Hood Project on Instagram.

Keri Hilson Prepping For ‘Apology’ To Ciara and Beyonce…?
Diddy’s new start-up network “Revolt” interviewed Timabland recently to discuss an array of things, but the topic of Keri Hilson was particularly interesting.
Hilson, who has had a hard time connecting with fans both musically and on film, has been desperately trying to revamp her image these days.
On the forefront of her problems is her diss to the ‘Queen’ of of the gays Mrs. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
It’s bad enough the fallen star was mistaken for her ‘musical foe’ Ciara on the red carpets at her own movie premiere (click HERE if you missed that), but could the “Knock You Down” star finally be prepared to issue a mea culpa to the pop star phenomenon, while getting some of that Beyonce star dust on her forehead?
The word on the curb is “yes,” at least that’s what Timbaland is leading us to believe.
Details below…
“I got this one song with Keri [Hilson] on my album called ‘Sorry,’” Tim unveiled about the record, “and Keri actually tells a story about the whole Beyoncé thing and how she was sorry about it because she really wasn’t talking about Beyoncé. And my verse, I’m [pretty much] saying, ‘Why can’t a ni-ga say sorry.’”
The ‘diss’ track which we all know by now was Hilson’s “Turnin Me On [Remix]” was the Keri’s breakout monster hit. In it, she was taking square aim at Bey’s hive with lyrics like:
“Your vision cloudy if you think that you the best/ You can dance, she can sing, but need to move it to the left/ She need to go have some babies/ She need to sit down, she fake … Go ’head and tell these folks how long I’ve been writing your songs/ I been putting you on/ Just check the credits, ho, and if you want me, you can find me in Decatur, ho.”
It was no secret who the singer/songwriter was taking shots at and the overall consensus is that Hilson was referring to Bey and/or ATL’S own Ciara.
And while the latter would have been fine to poke fun at, talking about Beyoncé in such a matter was deemed a ‘no no!’ totally outside the lines of decency! Beyonce’s fans pounced by showing Keri Hilson who’s boss…
Hopefully with all that behind her now, the newly turned actresses appeared to be reaching out an olive branch of sorts and is rumored to finally be ready to apologize with the aforementioned record. Or is she?
You would think that the chatter of fans saying it’s an official apology would be enough for her camp to let fate work out this situation, However, true to form the rebellious ‘rocker’ spoke up to dispel any Beyoncé apology rumors.
Keri explains her musical ‘apology,’ stating:
“There’s really nothing more to tell about that song. There’s really nothing to be said about it. What I will say, is the way Tim represented my verse is a little off. It’s not something I want to talk about right now. It’s not important to me. I’m not even sure if that song will be on the album.”
“It’s not what he made it seem, I will say that.”
I dunno why Keri can’t just make this situation right so we can all move on from this situation. Bottom line the Zone 4 signee started a lyric battle and lost. No one can be blamed for it but her.
Now that there’s finally word that there will be an apology, a rumor that’s sparking interesting responses from the fans, it seems interesting that she’s still talking smack.
Some artists have their own selves to blame for their demise. *sigh*
Do you think Keri owes Beyonce an apology?Or should she just ‘keep it moving’?

Waka Flocka CONFIRMS He And Baby Momma Tammy Rivera Are BOOKED For "LAHH ATL", Says Gucci Mane Needs "Medical Attention"
Waka Flocka confirmed to "The Breakfast Club" that he and his baby momma Tammy Rivera will be on the next season on "LAHH ATL". Listen to the interview inside and see what he said about Gucci Mane having a mental illness.
Waka Flocka stopped by Power 105 recently where he confirmed to The Breakfast Club that he and his fiancee Tammy Rivera will be featured on the next season of LAHH ATL and that he thinks Gucci Man has "lost his noodles". Here are the highlights:
On Tammy:
I been with Tammy...till this day she ain't never asked me for a dollar. Only thing she like is clothes. She's obsessed with fashion....she'd trade in fashion for me.
On "LAHH ATL":
I'm not doing LAHH, my fiancee doing LAHH. I'll be on an episode or two.
On Tammy's rumored $500K salary:
That's cool....I won't have to buy anymore purses.
Once Tammy got wind of Flocka's interview, she tweeted a confirmation saying, "Cats Out The Bag".
Waka (shown above with Tammy and her daughter) also discussed Gucci Mane, saying he needs medical help.
On Gucci Mane:
He talk crazy. On Waka disloyal? How? I'm not even trying to talk bad. I met this guy he had clay Jordans, cowboy boots and he was sleeping in an old school Chevy. He lived at my mom's house for two years rent free. When you not bigger than somebody...its like Bruce Lee and your sensei. Your sensei loves you, but when you whip their ass...it's a different story.
When I started going on tours, buying cars, buying jewelry....your conversation changed with me. It messed with his ego.
On still being signed to Waka:
Man I been trying to buy that contract. He's surviving off that money. But I don't blame him. Them ASCAP checks coming.
On if he thinks Gucci will ever let him out of his contract:
He ain't trying to get rid of that contract. I want him to eat though. I don't want him out like a bum. But Gucci lost his noodles. He really needs medical attention.
Well get ready for more ratchedness!

White University Of Alabama Sororities Forced To Admit Black Women
The University Of Alabama landed on the national radar after news broke four predominately white sororities at the school failed to admit two qualified black women to its ranks. After a week of unwanted bad publicity, the school has announced it will change the recruitment process into the white Greek organizations which could allow the women to cross into their ranks.
The segregation of UA's sororities was exposed last week in the school's newspaper, The Crimson White. In the piece, a bold declaration by Alpha Gamma Delta member Melanie Gotz asking about a potential black line sister was highlighted. According to the paper, the anonymous recruit hit all the marks needed to be admitted into the sorority but Gotz alleges she was denied a bid from the groups because she was black.
“People are too scared of what the repercussions are of maybe taking a black girl,” Gotz said to the Crimson. “That's stupid, but who's going to be the one to make that jump? How much longer is it going to take till we have a black girl in a sorority? It's been years, and it hasn't happened.”
The woman was also blocked admittance to the school's Delta Delta Delta sorority allegedly for race reasons as well. Not much was written on the challenges the other woman faced, but it was reported by TIME that alumnae of the sororities threatened to stop financial support if either of the black women were admitted.
In response, the University has announced it will allow sororities to offer new bids to potential members who didn't pass the recruitment round. The deal was hammered out over the weekend, and should the women accept the offer, it would be the first time an all-white sorority has been racially integrated. But according to one sorority member, the action from UA still rings hollow.
“I think that the only time the administration or the sororities would ever take accountability for something is when there's all this outside pressure,” said Yardena Wolf of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. “I wish it could be coming more from a place of love during real rush, and I wish this had happened a month ago.”
So much for a ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Big Sean Gets Shirtless With His Almost-Shirtless Chick Naya Rivera In Terry Richardson Shoot
It's become clear rapper Big Sean is taking advantage of the attention he gets from dating a tv star to help build his brand. And the same goes for Naya Rivera. So next up for the twosome--posing shirtless...and damn near shirtless...for a sexy Terry Richardson photoshoot.
Peep the pics Celebs go to Terry Richardson when they want a tongue-in-cheek photoshoot to add to their portfolio. So rapper Big Sean & his tv star girlfriend Naya Rivera did just that.
The twosome posed it up in a new shoot with their combat boots and their extra defined abs on display. Naya rocked a crop top that barely covered her chi chis and the shortest denim shorts and hair in a pony for a sexy yet cute look. And Sean kept it shirtless....as usual.
The "A$$" rapper helped Naya launch her singing career by appearing on her debut single "Sorry." And Naya's been Sean's arm piece for pretty much all the big industry events this last year. So it's only right they continue to capitalize on their relationship with a set of sexy photos
The Detroit rapper snapped a few solo shots too, for all you fans who like the slim type, plus a few in a Detroit Red WIngs hocky jersey:
The 25-year-old rapper is currently in some hot water over his new "MILF" track off his Hall Of Fame album where Nicki Minaj is featured rapping from a toothless-on-welfare-baby-mama point of view.
And Naya is gearing up to release her debut studio album in 2014 via Columbia Records.

‘THAT FACE SAYS IT ALL’
I asked around to our boys over at GirlsinYogaPants.com and they said that definitively “No, there is no way a front butt would count to get on their site.” So that’s kind of a bummer. (They always think they’re better than us cause they got lovely lady lumps.)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
