Adele Dresses in Drag to Celebrate Her Birthday

British chanteuse Adele dressed in drag for her 27th birthday. The full-figured singer who was born in Tottenham, London, England turned 27 on Tuesday.

To celebrate her born day, Adele enlisted the aide of her makeup artist and stylist to transform her into openly gay British singing legend George Michael — complete with full beard and mustache!

Michael cemented his legacy as one half of the British pop duo Wham! Michael twirled out of the closet in 2009 after multiple embarrassing arrests for cruising public restrooms in search of random sex with strangers.

Adele probably always fantasized about dressing in drag as a man for at least one night

In a Twitter post on Wednesday Adele thanked her followers for their birthday wishes, and she called Michael her hero.

BEAUTIFUL!

Kanye West Changes Upcoming Album Title To ‘SWISH’

Kanye West has changed the name of his upcoming seventh studio album from So Help Me God, to SWISH. Just as he did before when he initially announced the title, he took to Twitter with the update, writing: “I’m changing my album name to SWISH.”

He also added that although that’s what he’s going with now, there’s a possibility that he may still have a change of heart: “I might change it again but that’s the name now,” he added.

During an interview with The Breakfast Club he said that unlike his last album, which was a protest to music, this one will embrace the music, joy. “Being of service to the people. I just hope people like it and enjoy it.”

LeBron James Caught Creeping On Instagram?

The Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team is reeling from the loss of Kevin Love, who injured his shoulder during round 1 of the NBA playoffs. The Cavs dropped game 1 in the Eastern Conf. Semifinals to the Chicago bulls at home on Monday.

But there’s an even bigger story brewing than the Bulls’ potential sweep of the Cavs.

Cavs superstar LeBron James, a happily married father of three, was caught creeping on the ‘gram.

Every year during the NBA playoffs, LeBron announces he’s going “Zero dark thirty-23″, a blackout of sorts during which he unplugs from the Internet and turns off his cell phone — supposedly so he won’t be distracted from the task at hand: winning another NBA championship ring.

LeBron, 30, is so anally-retentive that he refuses to turn on his cell phone even to call close friend Chris Paul and congratulate him on advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

LeBron reportedly borrowed his wife Savannah James‘s cell phone to make that call.

“I called him from my wife’s phone. He answered the phone, he was like ‘what’s up?’ I told him don’t say nothing, you’re not allowed to reply, you’re not allowed to say anything,” James said. “I told him how amazing he was and how great he was and I hung up on him, I haven’t spoken to him since, it’s the truth.”

But, like most married men, LeBron apparently has a secret phone — one that is exempt from his Zero Dark 23 rule.

Stiletto Jill writes:

Busted Coverage caught King James creeping on the gram, liking a photo on an account titled “perfect booties” this afternoon. Of course he’s since took his like back, but screen shots last forever… Maybe he needed a pick me up after losing to the Bulls at home Monday night.

Melissa Rivers Call Joan Rivers Death ‘100 Percent Preventable’

Melissa Rivers is still reeling from the death of her mother, Joan Rivers. Joan died while getting her vocal chords operated on, in what was supposed to be a fairly standard procedure at a normal clinic. However, there was a series of major mistakes that the doctors made at the clinic, which unfortunately led to Joan Rivers’ untimely demise.

Melissa has already sued the clinic and the attending physicians, and she recently spoke to the Today show about how Joan’s death was ‘100 percent preventable‘.

She explained, “Yes, it was a tragic accident. If something happens, and everyone does everything properly, things happen … You live with it. When it’s error after error, after error, after error, after behaviors that you cannot even begin to get your head around — you get mad.”

The lawsuit that Melissa filed in January alleges that all the attending doctors were taking selfies and making jokes while her mother was dying on the table in front of them – and she based on this on pretty solid evidence, especially as those selfies were documented on phones and social media. However, Melissa wasn’t actually present during the surgery and as such, couldn’t really ‘prove’ anything – and hence, it’s unlikely that she’ll win the lawsuit.

However, she’s certainly making it her #1 mission to make sure that everybody knows about this. She’s spoken about the accountability factor in her mother’s death before, and she has also stated that the doctors attending to Joan Rivers deserve to pay the price for causing her mother’s death. And from everything we’ve heard so far, it seems like she’s right. However, she really has no way to guarantee that justice is served, apart from giving as many interviews as possible and hoping that the clinic’s reputation is irreversibly damaged.

LeSean McCoy Talks Love for Philly, Chip Kelly Getting Rid Of The "Good Black Players," And His Future With The Bills

Buffalo Bills' LeSean “Shady” McCoy sat down with ESPN, discussing his feelings towards his former Eagles team and his future with the Bills. After spending his entire career thus far in Philadelphia, McCoy is coming to terms with being traded to Buffalo without warning and seemingly to him without reason.

McCoy admitted that at first he didn't want to be a Bill, mentioning that it was different with him not being able to see his son whenever he wanted and his family and friends not all being so close. "To be honest, I didn't want to come. I was so angry at first. You take a guy who's made his whole name and career in Philadelphia and move him," McCoy, who was marked the league’s 3rd leading rusher and Eagles’ all-time leading rusher, stated to ESPN. He was also asked about Eagles Head Coach Chip Kelly. "The relationship was never really great," McCoy stated. "I feel like I always respected him as a coach...that's the way he runs his team. He wants full control. You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That's the truth. There's a reason. ... It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players-the good ones-like that." McCoy went on to tell ESPN that there were indeed other players who felt the same, even acknowledging the fact that Stephen A. Smith mentioned the same accusation before. McCoy told ESPN that he had no hatred toward Kelly and recalled his early experiences with him, stating "When he got [to Philadelphia], I didn't know what to expect. When he let DeSean go last year, I was like: "C'mon. DeSean Jackson?" So it is what it is.” When asked about the similarities between his new head Coach Rex Ryan and Kelly, McCoy simply told ESPN, that there were none.

McCoy went on to discuss his future with the Bills, stating that there are many talented players in Buffalo and that he feels that things will change. He talked about his new found like for his new home, stating how nice the people of the city were to him. As for Eagles fans, who still have love for their prized running back, Mccoy talked about the love he has for them and his excitement to return to the city with the Bills this season.

Witness To Michael Brown Shooting Sues City Of Ferguson, Darren Wilson

Dorian Johnson, a friend of Michael Brown Jr.’s who was also with him the day he was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Mo. police officer, has filed a lawsuit against the city and Darren Wilson, NBC reports.

Johnson, a witness to the shooting, alleges that he was wrongly stopped and shot at on Aug. 9, 2014. The lawsuit claims Wilson targeted Johnson without probable cause, firing upon him and Brown as they ran away.

Brown was killed in the encounter. In documents released after a grand jury elected not to indict Wilson, the officer claimed Brown charged at him, prompting him to fear for his life.

From NBC: “Officer Wilson acted with either deliberate indifference and/or reckless disregard toward” Johnson, the lawsuit says.

The suit also cited many of the Department of Justice findings, arguing that the city and former Police Chief Thomas Jackson “facilitated, encouraged and/or instigated” biased police behavior, including the “excessive force” used against Brown and Johnson.

According to the site, a Ferguson spokesman would not comment on the lawsuit, which seeks $25,000 in damages.

In addition to Johnson’s lawsuit, Brown’s parents also plan to file a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city.

‘Empire’ Does Strong Business Overseas, Challenging Long Held Belief About Black Shows

It’s no secret that films and television shows with predominantly Black casts have a rough time being acquired overseas, because the decision makers don’t believe viewers will tune in.

In January, “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson said the explosion of on-screen diversity in the U.S. and overseas will always come down to the dollar sign.

Below, The Hollywood Reporter details how the success of “Empire” in the States caused international networks to think twice about acquiring the series, as well as other successful American shows with predominantly black casts that were initially overlooked:

The Cosby Show was the first — and last — television series starring an African-American cast to become a worldwide hit. But the U.S. success of shows like Fox’s Empire, ABC’s Black-ish andHow to Get Away With Murder, and, in the pay TV sphere, Starz’ Power and Survivor’s Remorse, is beginning to attract the attention of international broadcasters and is opening up the global market for more diverse primetime programming.

Succeeding on the global market is the last glass ceiling. Despite diverse casts on international ratings juggernauts like CSI: Miami, Grey’s Anatomy and NCIS, no series in the past 30 years with an African-American lead — much less an entirely black cast — has become a worldwide hit.

A Fox executive that first pitched Empire to global networks says if the show had had an all-white cast “it would have sold out immediately.” Starz executive vp worldwide distribution Gene Georgeadmits selling Power and Survivor’s Remorse — the latter a half-hour comedy about a basketball star from the ghetto made good — has been a struggle.

“It’s been hard to get [international broadcasters] to think outside the box,” he admits.

But then the shows hit the U.S. airwaves and everything changed. Empire’s phenomenal ratings — viewership increased week-over-week, every week, closing with a season high of nearly 17 million total viewers — convinced buyers to take another look.

“When it started to air — every week it grew and grew — many important clients of ours have contacted us to rethink what they were doing,” Marion Edwards, 20th Century Fox Television Distribution’s president of international TV, told THR in March.

Empire is now sold out in virtually every major territory worldwide. Big terrestrial broadcasters like Germany’s ProSiebenSat.1, Network Ten in Australia and France’s M6 — networks with market positions similar to Fox’s in the U.S. — have acquired the series. In the U.K., where U.S. shows of any kind have a hard time getting on major networks, it went to E4, Channel 4’s smaller digital pay TV outlet. Fox International Channels, which is a smaller pay TV player in most foreign territories, has picked up the show for multiple global markets including Italy, Poland, the Netherlands and South Africa.

Empire has even conquered Asia, a notoriously difficult market for U.S. shows, with deals for such key territories as China, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.

ABC has had similar success with How to Get Away With Murder and Black-ish. Even Starz’s more cutting-edge fare has found plenty of global buyers. Power, a crime drama about a drug dealer trying to go straight, which Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson executive produced, has sold to some 115 territories, including a recent deal with Sony Picture Television’s pay TV outlet AXN in Germany. Deals with several major territories, including France, the U.K. and Australia, are pending.Survivor’s Remorse has closed deals across Africa and the Middle East as well as Canada and Scandinavia, helped by Starz’s second-season renewal of the comedy starring Jessie T. Usher.

“I think nothing succeeds like success, nothing breeds imitation like success,” says Greg Drebin, senior vp worldwide marketing at 20th Century Fox Television Distribution, which is sellingEmpire worldwide. “The success of these shows [in the U.S.] has meant international networks are more open to them.”

Common Responds To Kean University BAN on him speaking at the Commencement Ceremony!

Grammy Award winner Common is speaking out after Kean University announced him as this year’s commencement speaker and then abruptly having a change of heart. The Oscar winner was set to deliver a speech at the May 21st ceremony, but New Jersey State Troopers weren’t having it. They are all up in arms over Common’s 2000 track “A Song for Assata,” a track about Assata Shakur, who was convicted in 1977 of killing Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. Assata eventually escaped from prison and has been living in Cuba as a fugitive.

The “Glory” rapper trekked it back to his hometown and chopped it up with Chicago's WGCI 107.5 radio Kendra G after he delivered his commencement speech at the City Colleges of Chicago graduation (above) over the weekend. Kean University may have changed their mind, but it’s clear he has the support of the place he calls home.

When asked how he felt about New Jersey State Troopers protesting his speech at Kean University he said:

“I was disappointed I couldn’t speak for the students because they were expressing their wants to have me come out and speak. I also recognize that things that I stand for and believe in, if someone doesn’t want me there for that reason then I’m not going to go. If someone is saying we don’t want you hear because I supported Assata Shakur, who is someone who I believe to be an innocent. Who was a Freedom Fighter. A woman who was apart of the Blank Panthers. Because I did a song about her, if they don’t want me to speak at a college because of that reason, then I mean, I still support her.”

Nice.

Adam Levine Gets Flour-Bombed Outside Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Oh no! Adam did not get a little sweetness from a fan who flour-bombed him while he was leaving ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on May 6. The Maroon 5 singer did NOT look happy about the random fan attack!

Poor Adam. Who knew signing autographs for fans could take such an awful turn?

The Voice judge crouched over after being covered in what appears to be flour. While he could have been flour-bombed on Jimmy Kimmel, that seems highly unlikely judging by the annoyed look on his face and from eyewitnesses on Twitter.

We’re eager to hear a response from Adam. Hopefully he’s able to take some advice from Taylor Swift and “shake it off!” It seems like Adam just can’t catch a break lately! The singer was recently attacked by an overenthusiastic fan on stage while he was performing during a Maroon 5 concert on April 6.

The fan came up from behind him and started hugging him. While he was initially shocked, he loosened up and gave her a hug right before his security escorted her off stage.

Chris Brown Comes Home To Buck Naked Intruder, It Was Not Karrueche

Chris Brown needs a better security system. Upon returning from a few days in Las Vegas—which included a ducking a battery charge—Breezy was greeted by a butt naked women in his bedroom, who had also damaged a couple of his whips.

Reports TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … CB returned to his home in Agoura Hills, CA with his security team around 9:00 PM when he found a woman’s clothes in the foyer and “I LOVE YOU” spray painted on the kitchen counter.

We’re told when Chris and his team went to investigate, they found the unknown/unclothed woman in his bed. Chris called the cops, who came and cuffed the woman and took her to the station, where she was booked for felony burglary and felony vandalism.

Cops believe the woman — a 21-year-old female — had lingered there for a while — police found dishes in the sink and discarded food. Chris had been in Las Vegas for the past few days.

AND HERE SHE IS................

Our sources say the woman also vandalized Chris’ silver Rolls-Royce and his black Range Rover by spray painting “MRS. BROWN” on them.

That loon vandalized a Range and a Rolls?! Charges must be pressed

LeBron's gets caught CHEATING while at The White House?

CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! 

LeBron James Caught Red-Handed

Miami Heat superstar LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James has surely heard past rumors of her husband cheating on her. But, unlike most women who catch their husbands cheating, Savannah has chosen to look the other way. Unlike most women, Savannah knows who and what she is married to. So today’s news won’t come as a surprise to her.

NBC Associate Producer Stacey Klein shook up the Heat Nation with a singular post on her Instagram account.

Klein wrote: “Pretty decent day at the WH today. The Miami HEAT gave a “POTUS” jersey to the head honcho and I watched LeBron ask a girl for her number, right in front of me. He just got married in September. #happilyeverafter #champions #picstitch”

But after the First Lady Michelle Obama intervened, Klein did a little editing to her original post.

After the post made the rounds in Washington and first lady Michelle Obama tweeted out a cutesy picture of James helping her promote health eating, Klein did a little editing to: “The HEAT at the WH today. Team presented a “POTUS” jersey to the head honcho.”

James married his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson, in San Diego, Calif. on Sept. 14 and from indications in the media is still in the honeymoon phase.

Does LeBron James Have a Secret Love Child With TV Reporter??

Does LeBron James Have a Secret Love Child With TV Reporter??

Rumors are flying that Miami Heat superstar LeBron James has a secret love child with a former TV Sharon Reed. I wonder is that the reason why LeBron’s fiancee Savannah did not immediately join him on the court to celebrate the Heat’s NBA Finals win? Teammate Dwayne Wade’s sons joined their father at court side as the seconds ticked off the clock, and Chris Bosh held his newborn son as his wife Adrienne Bosh looked on with pride. But Savannah was noticeably absent when LeBron glanced around the court, asking, “Where’s my family?”

When we finally did see Savannah, the look on her face was one of indifference. She seemed oddly detached and out of place with the jubilant atmosphere around her. And now we know why: her fiance is allegedly a daddy for the third time. They say James is paying Sharon HUGE bucks to keep the child out of the public eye.
Word is WOIO fired Reed just after she went on maternity leave in early December. Apparently, she was terminated because she violated the morals clause in her contract.

According to sources close to Reed, it was an open secret at work that she has been seeing LeBron for years — while he was with Savannah. When things started getting out of hand, the Cavaliers brass reportedly met with WOIO management to request that Reed not cover the Cavs home games..

When Reed turned up pregnant last year there was no doubt in anyone’s minds who the baby’s father was.
Reed reportedly manufactured a boyfriend to explain her pregnancy to her co-workers. But no one was fooled. Sources say Reed isn’t worried about finding a new job because James is paying all of her bills.

James’ fiancee Savannah remained with the couple’s 2 young sons in Cleveland when he moved to Miami in 2010 so the boys could finish the school year.
Savannah joined LeBron full-time in Miami last year. And when the rumors of James’ secret love child reached Savannah’s ears, he quickly proposed to her. Just days later, Reed was fired from her job.

Reed now lives with her baby in Miami, where she once worked as a reporter/anchor for WSVN-TV.

Reed is no stranger to famous men she such a slut. She previously dated Robert De Niro and Philadelphia Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb.
James is just the latest in a long list of married (or engaged) professional athletes who have succumbed to crafty gold diggers. And although they love their wives, men know better than women that love has nothing to do with cheating. 
LeBron...Please do not let this have legs to it...OR ELSE You're screwed!

LUDA wants you to eat Chicken and Beer…..Literally!

Word on the curb is that it’s over for Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges‘ Straits restaurant.

The popular Atlanta had formerly been plagued with health inspection issues but it continued to thrive as an Atlanta hotspot known for industry parties and private get-togethers.
Straits is closing it’s doors for good and Luda, who now parks his private jet alongside billionaires, plans to take his money and run towards the airport with a new venture involving chicken & beer.

 Details…

According the the AJC Buzz,
Ludacris is ending his nearly four-year run as a Midtown restaurateur, pulling up the stakes at Straits to focus on a new venture at Atlanta-Hartsfield International Aiport.

Ludacris made the decision to close Straits after winning a contract to open a new restaurant — Chicken N Beer — at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport with Atlanta Restaurant Partners.

The airport’s concession contracts were approved Tuesday in a marathon City Council meeting.
Fans may recognize the name of Luda’s new eatery… inspired from his 2003 album of the same name. He plans to serve comfort food and craft beers using locally grown ingredients.

As I continue to learn and evolve as a businessman, I am extremely excited to put my restaurateur footprint into a new venture inside the busiest international airport in the United States, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,
Straits was a great segue into the industry and with Chicken N Beer I can create my own concept. I look forward to expanding my creativity and driving.

WERK LUDA!

LeBron James Pisses Off Pastry Chef

LeBron James was comped a $3,000 cake for his birthday at the last minute in exchange for free publicity, but the publicity never came because Bron Bron thought the cake was ugly...

From Gossip Extra
Passion for Pastry owner Alethea Hickman, a well-known Boca Raton baker, is downright pissed off!

The $3,000-birthday cake she was asked to deliver to James’ New Year’s Eve party at theShelborne South Beach hotel in Miami Beach – free of charge as part of a “sponsorship deal” – supposedly wasn’t fit for the king!

“It was a great cake,” Hickman said. “I could’ve blown it off because I had so much work with the holidays, but I came through at the last minute. I don’t even known what they did with it at this point. They have no respect.”

Two days before the Miami Beach fiesta for 50-plus that included Heat teammates Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Juwan Howard, Hickman tells me she received a frantic, all-in-caps email from Samantha Rosen, the Shelborne‘s marketing director.

“URGENT!,” the email read. “NEED CAKE FOR LEBRON JAMES BIRTHDAY THAT WILL BE HOSTED AT THE SHELBORNE HOTEL BY DWADE, GAB UNION AND HEAT TEAMMATES.”

There was a catch: Hickman couldn’t charge anything, simply because James wouldn’t pay for it — never mind that James is in his second year of a $100 million-contract with the Heat!

In exchange, however, Rosen promised free publicity for Hickman’s Passion for Pastry: Photos of the cake would be distributed widely to the press and twittered with the name of her business prominently mentioned! Rosen didn’t return calls for comment but her boss Jared Galbut, the newly-redesigned Shelborne‘s managing principal, confirmed the deal today.

Lebron chose the cake on the right

I’ll say NO MORE!

SAY WHAT?????? Mos Def Is A Bigomist Confirms His Wife

Word on the streets are saying that the 38 year old Muslim rapper/actor Mos Def is a bigamist. Because Mos Def recently got married again to some chic in California, and his wife estranged wife Alana Wyattcouldn’t believe it when she heard the news. This is not the first time reports have surfaced that Mos Def has allegedly been married to multiple women at the same time. Wyatt, who exchanged vows with the rapper after 96 hours, married him when he was married to someone else, Wyatt was furious when she learned the news but remained with the rapper. Now it appears she’s had enough.

In an open letter to Diary of A Hip Hop Street King, Wyatt gives details about their marriage. She talks about being spit on regularly before sex, his jealousy and her disappointment with Mos Def’s alleged bigamy.

I am the CURRENT WIFE (LEGAL) wife of Dante Smith. Aka Mos def aka Yasin bey! Who knows maybe next year it will be something different according to HIS mood at that day and time. Just so everyone who is paying attention it is clear that no matter what I may have been called, portrayed as because of a few videos and have dated a few athletes. I took his hand in marriage based on a promising life, future, and one day to build an empire of own. I don’t regret one minute of it. I never will. I made that choice for myself.
Until now…… Marriage is NOT something you should take in vain, it’s not something that 2 people consummate just because it suits the mood at the time. The man I married is NOT the man I grew to know. Shit I barely ever did get to know him. It seemed as tho we only knew each other when the world was watching. Did we ever live the marriage life? NO! Did we have a chance to really love each other for who we were? NO!

Even after 10 years of being with someone you STILL don’t know them. So most will say “then 3 days you really never knew each other.” Agreed!
But that’s what comes with marriage. Getting to each others likes and dislikes, and getting to know each other does NOT mean just getting along, or the only time you can make love with the lights on is when you are tipsy. The man mos def aka yasin bey, I married was NOT who I grew to know, I’m sure he can say the same. It was the first time I had ever experienced sex with my mouth being forced open and him feeling the need to spit in it 3 times. He would tell me what it meant, but I just could not wrap my mind around it. Each time he did it again and again, and again. This became our routine. It became real to me.

Dante (mos) is GOOD! He has a way of making you feel like you are the ONLY woman that exists. So I can see how it is easy to fall in love with him. I’ve been asked. Allot is he as weird in real life as in on TV! “Define weird”. I say. U lose yourself in him. Hence the so many marriages. I never understood having multiple wives. Multiple jump offs…..YA, but WIVE(S). Helllll Nooooo! Was this legal? Allowed? Or how did the wives feel?!

Which brings me to the CURRENT! I am still his legal wife. Last name, license, certificate and all. I’m sure some DNA also if ya dug deep enuff. I been respectful of his privacy, as well as NOT accepted the MANY MANY offers that have risen over the course of our “ongoing” divorce to throw his trifling ass under a bus. Well I’m DONE! Being quiet, DONE protecting myself for his stupid antics. How dare you NOT settle your MESS here in Toronto (Canada) have my ass out here married to someone I barely know, can’t move on, but yet … “OH”. Here ur ass is trynna marry some one else. AGAIN! Is this a fad or a joke to you?!?! I am disgusted, ashamed, and embarrassed. Not for me, baby boo…….but YOU! Running around marrying what suits your outfit that day.

I am NOT jealous, I’m fucking PISSED that he wouldn’t clean up shop before he runs off in the sunset for the 45th time. I have to wonder……….not even Santa Claus gets as many letters in November as Mos has wives.

I been quiet, respectful for the reason of his family and career, in 5 years I have NOT used or abused his name, nor used him to brand anything. But Now I have to speak up, when he is out there trying to get married AGAIN , clean tha FUCK UP what u already got going on HERE, I

I am NOT jealous (for the record), in fact I actually pity the “NEXT TOP WIFE” I could give a rats flying fuck if you married 8 hermaphrodites, just fix your dam mess with me and let me move on!!! I may have had my share of “fun”. But dam…. no rings are poppin off and tatts (GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE) “ya CUM QUICK”.

Chroniclers do you agree with his wife??

MODELS RUNWAY OVAHNESS! MEET Nyasha Matonhodze for Versace Pre-Fall 2012

 Both Nyasha Matonhodze and Versace had a whirlwind year of success in 2011, so it is only fitting that the two come together for the brand’s latest ready to wear collection. Right on the heels of the debut of their H&M Cruise 2012 collection comes an edited selection of looks for Pre-Fall 2012. The collection is Versace luxe at its finest, fully equipped with glamour and sensuality. From gold cap toe black leather boots to lace sleeves and insets, these looks will surely be a hit with the brand’s fans including Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, Kelly Rowland and many more.

check out some of the best looks.

 A strong collection, but that signature glitz from the brand is missing. The looks are heavy on functionality and lacking the vibrancy of color and embellishments that are inherent to the Versace aesthetic. Have all the eccentric and va-va voom ideas been given to the latest H&M collection? We’ll see when the Fall 2012 collection debuts at Milan Fashion Week..

Aretha Franklin REVEALS Wedding DEETS And TALKS ABOUT Affair With Late Night Talk Show Host!

The Queen of Soul is in love and ready to share it with all her fans. During a recent interview, she talked about beau Willie AND revealed she once had an affair with a late night talk show host.....but who? Was it Tavis Smiley? Arsenio? Jimmy Kimmel?? 

 Read the highlights below..........

On why she’s getting married again at 69:
“I like being married. It’s an institution that I like. .So momentarily I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be married. I need taking care of a little more, I think. Let someone else be strong. Sometimes what you’re looking for is already there.”

On planning the wedding:
“You know I am very hands-on. There is no way in the world anyone else could do my wedding other than myself, along with whomever I select to do various things.”

On how Willie proposed:
“We were … just kind of talking along those lines, and then it got very serious. I just said, `Is that a proposal?’ and he said `yes.’ And that’s how that happened; we just kind of talked into it.”

On the wedding dress:
“I’d love to see what they [Donna Karan and Vera Wang] would do custom for me, without me saying anything. They’re known for kick butt (dresses).”

On the location:
“I’m kind of leaning that way ["the exclusive Hamptons"] because it’s closer to home, and more friends could get there easily."

On her dream performers: “I would love to have Smokey (Robinson) sing, my dearest, oldest friend [along with gospel singer Karen Clark and Stevie Wonder].”

On her previous relationship and affair BEFORE Willie:
“We had an intimate affair. (He was) one of America’s late-night talk-show hosts. At this point I’m thrilled it didn’t (work), and what I was looking for was already here. We’re very compatible, and he supports me and I support him a lot, and he has given me specialized attention that I don’t think I’ve received from anyone else. I receive a lot of male attention, but Will is more special than all the rest.”

Congrats Ms. Franklin!

Someone Broke Into Mike Tyson’s Hotel Room

Who could dare break into the hotel room of boxing heavy weight champion Mike Tyson? Whoever did it was fortunate enough to make their way out of the room before Mike could catch them.

According to sources, intruder(s) broke into his hotel room in Vegas this weekend. Fortunately for the intruder, the boxing champion was sleeping. They were able to get out of the room before Tyson woke up.

Mike was reportedly staying at The Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas last Saturday night after attending New Year’s Eve concert held by Stevie Wonder. TMZ reported according to a source that when Tyson woke up, he only saw a flashlight. But before he could understand what was going on, the intruder was already gone.
Afterwards, hotel security was called and they are investigating the case. No goods were reportedly stolen from his room.

What do you think was the intruder’s motive?

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“Beat Drums!”

I’m not sure you are really grasping the concept of a live-action Muppets movie.

HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
