Celebs Out & About

Actress LisaRaye was spotted out & about in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday wearing all white from head-to-toe. White is obviously LisaRaye’s favorite color since that’s all she wears. Maybe she has flashbacks to a time when she was once virginal and pure, lol. Coincidentally, Miss LisaRaye will be landing in Atlanta this afternoon. She’s in town on business, including a paid appearance at an area nightclub. Make that money, girl!

R&B singer Usher with wifey #2 Def Jam exec Grace Miguel vacationing somewhere. Don’t let Chilli trick y’all into believing she and Usher are getting back together. She has a new reality show coming out. It’s called a publicity stunt.

Pseudo singer Keri Hilson, right, attended the BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 Fashion Show at the Tent during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week yesterday. Next to her is industry exec Vashti Kola (Pharrell’s ex).

Would you wear this on your foot? Notice I typed “on your foot” since there isn’t anything under your foot. That’s right, the model is barefoot. Does this make any sense? I know, I know, fashion — as with art, is subjective and based on personal taste. But anyone who spends money on these… air sandals, is an idiot.

These are the hawtest bags ever! Why don’t I sever see celebrities rocking them I wonder?

FanMAIL: Regarding Mario Post…

Earlier I posted a photo of R&B crooner Mario and “his significant other” out & about in NYC last night. A label rep emailed me expeditiously to identify the man in the photo with Mario as being his manager, J. Erving III, son of legendary NBA player Julius Erving.

Mr. Erving is quite legendary here in Atlanta (as Wendy Williams would say). But he isn’t known as a back packer. Let’s just say that “ladies man” would not be an inaccurate description of him.

But, Mario, on the other hand… uh, how U doin’ Mario? Awwriiight!

Hi Sandra,

I was viewing your site, and got the Mario story and noticed you pointed an arrow towards the guy that was standing behind Mario.. That is J. Erving, son of Dr. J the basketball player. He is Mario’s business manager, and handles a lot of his business dealings. I should know, as I have worked with Mario and his business manager in the past. He was actually on the cover of Black Enterprise Magazine a few issues back(as I have attached for you)..

Thank you.

Pat




 

Sneak Preview: Takers starring T.I.

Yes, I realize there are other actors in the movie, but does it matter? Let’s be real, the main reason everyone will be going to the theater is to see T.I., not Chris Brown (who I hear has a tiny part anyway). But doesn’t this movie come out in February of 2010? I’ve heard of advance promo, but this is ridiculous.

Speaking ofd ridiculous, here’s the totally Photoshopped movie poster. Hayden Christensen’s neck is black. There’s a lot of fake images floating around the Internets lately.




 

Perez Hilton Hacked?

I know you don’t care, and I’m only mentioning this because celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was in Atlanta yesterday. But did you know his very popular blog was hacked today? In fact, it’s still down. I bet I know who did it. While the cat is away, the mice will play… hmmm.

Pimps Up, Ho’s Down: Two ACORN Workers Fired For Giving Tax Tips To Prostitute

By now you’ve heard about the two Baltimore ACORN workers who were fired for coaching a fake pimp and his prostitute on tax evasion.

A worker is seen on undercover video footage advising the prostitute to list her occupation as “performance artist.”

When the pimp told the ACORN workers he planned to smuggle 13-year-old prostitutes from outside the country, one worker advised him to list 3 of the underage girls as independent minors on his income tax form!

ACORN fired the two workers claiming the two workers “did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.”.

But ACORN has come under fire recently for blatant acts of fraud including voter fraud and helping to rig the results of the last presidential election. Last week, Florida law enforcement officials rounded up 11 ACORN workers and charged them with knowingly falsifying voter registration cards and registering ineligible voters in 2008.

By the way, Barack Obama showed his gratitude to ACORN by funneling $8.5 billion of your tax dollars into the stimulus bill that went directly to ACORN.

I Know You Don’t Care, But Beyonce’s Ex-Boyfriend Found!

You can exhale now, after months of exhaustive detective work, Destiny’s Child Rumours blog has finally located Beyonce’s ex-boyfriend, who is currently working as a chef in Houston.

His name is Lyndell Locke and he’s 29. I’m sure Beyonce is anxious to keep him under wraps because, as you can see he is definitely a far better looking man than the homely camel she’s with now (what happened to her taste in mens?)

Anyway, here’s an excerpt from the blog:

We have tracked down the real Lyndell. One of our loyal snitches sent me the information! And guess what.. it is him. We have reached out to him for an interview but do not know how long that is going to take or whether he had to sign a secrecy paper thrown in by Mathew Knowles. I will keep you all updated.

Lyndell is still living in Houston, is currently 29 and is working as a Chef. These are the only pics I am allowed to use at the moment. One of him singing and the other at a fancy dress party.

I hate to break it to you ladies, buuut…

I just received an email from an inside source who claims the singer Mario is very much “How U Doin’ “ and he stepped out with his significant other in NYC last night. I could be wrong (as I so often am), so please don’t quote me on this. But I’m trying to figure out who is the top and who is the bottom. What do you think?
