Last night, former music mogul Jermaine Dupri launched his new line of affordable watches at WISH in Atlanta and celebrity photographer Prince WIlliams of ATLPics.net was there to capture all the excitement.
Other celebs in the house included R&B Diva Monica, rapper Big Boi, former America’s Top Model finalist Eva tha Diva and her fiance actor Lance Gross, socialite Teyana Taylor (I don’t know what else to call her), and socialite Sarah Chapman (pictured below).

The line of affordable watches called Nu Pop Movement range in price from $95 to $145. I’m told the watches sales were brisk last night as everyone purchased one for themselves or as gifts.

Monica, Lance and Eva attended the event in support of JD. I was invited to this launch personally by PR diva Patti Webster of W & W Public Relations. But I couldn’t find a thing to wear.

I like the watch style…just like I did when the style was popular in the 80’s. LOL.

The Nu Pop Movement line of plastic watches
———————————————-
this is an oxymoron. you mean to tell me that some plastic watches start out at $95?
in my b.scott voice….
bytch. boo. bye. not at you sandra…at the “nu pop movement”
Okay, Monica looks good, Jermaine looks older then my grandfather, Lance Gross is lookin right, Eva needs a bucket of water and a face cloth, teyana hair looks a lot more moist(Thank God). Umm that’s all.
Eva, I know Lance is your man and all, but he can soooooo get it……
*Daydreamin of me and Lance*
all day long..
How is it that you can do nothing and still be invited to all the events. (Sarah) all she did was have a baby for P****TY. At least Teyanna did put out a song or two.
” Just thinking “
@Kwall
I agree, I can get a watch like that out the bubble gum machine.
Deuces!
The watches are cute
!!!
that girl with teyana look hella outta place. errybody else got on coats, boots, scarves, skrait winter attire…
and she got on a jumpsuit (which an ATL friend of mine rocked waaaay better than she did btw…) and THIS chick got on that jumpsuit showing her ta ta’s and some open toed shoes….
Im not sure i like the watches but they will sale just becuase of little man LOL!!!!!!!
I am glad JD n Janet got back together or n JDs words never broke up guess Janet missed that memo when she said she was single lol
I only saw 145 watches on line but I wouldn’t pay 95 for plastic either
Eva should have borrowed Moncicas make up artist right quick. Or at the very least not take a picture with her. The difference in makeup is GLARING side by side.
Daisy ya gurl TT has some pretty hair. The pretty girl with her is dressed inappropriatley for the event.
Sara looks like Janice from the muppets in that picture.
Isn’t that Free with her?
Sorry but the watches are buttugly to me. I hated swatchs too.
I don’t do many celebrity crushes but um yea Big Boi’s mouth talks to my monkey…..don’t judge I been holding that in for years.
Isn’t that Teyana’s mother they look alike….
Any way on to Mr.Lance Gross..Lance was the ashy looking dude behind eva in the other post(in the first pic).
Lance boy you need to do better but since i think your cute i’ll give you a pass.
@mirsmommy and spinaltruth please restrain from looking at my baby..i know looking at that chocolate to long can do something to ya (lol) …
And Johnta Austin looks very hobo chic more hobo than chic.
Monica looked cute
lol@missy
You can have him girl, just admiring his good looks, but i’m married and loving it. Doesn’t mean I can’t look though (lol).
145? no thanks ill still to my fossil watches
stick*
Is it me or is Monica hiding her tummy in each pic????

It can’t be, kids don’t let their parents dress in the sheer disco jump suits.

I watched a repeat of her show and I thought she was preggos. She was sick and went to the doctor.
@ wiggie
I was thinking the same thing. Next to Monica Eva is not shining (other than her face). & it looks like Lance knows it. Is it just me or is he leaning more towards Mo than Eva.
Teyanas mama is in town with her cause Lil Duvall was talking about how she had a phat azz on twitter lol
I don’t think that is all Teyanas hair but I LUV it and it works for her
Evas make up is usually on point. She is def a pretty girl loved her on top model!
those are some UGLY ASS watches, I seen better looking ones in the quarter bubble gum machine!!!
I guess put a celebs name on it and it make it hot. Let me find some celebs that will endorse my sh!t, I will put out celebrity tampons, toilet tissue, icy hots, and calcium pills
I love Teyana’s hair always have, ever since My Super Sweet Sixteen.
I’m glad i’m not the only one who thinks Eva looks a little off.
@Anna
That is her Mom.(did some research and every pic I saw looked like the woman above)
I think she is dressed inappropriately also especially for being her mom.

Her mom is beautiful. She would have stood out more and made a better statement with a different outfit on. I’ll give her a pass because TT does not always dress for success, just for fun, she has on her riding outfit and her duck boots.
I love the watches and JD the mogul is still building his empire! he is producing the lovely dondria! Mmmmm Johnta is looking seeeexxxxxy!
@missy
your right that is TT mom, she looks nice and so do TT!
Sandra, What do you mean you couldn’t find nothing to where? Eva has on a black wifebeater and jeans. Everyone but the random girl with TT and Monica is wearing jeans or leggigns. . I know a lot of lesbians struggle with fashion but this was super casual.
I thought that was her hair.
Iscream it aint you if I didn’t know them and saw pic I would Monica and Lance as the couple
K-Dub… I’m trying to drink my coffee AND your making me spit it up Laughing-n-Giggling
The GUY in the 5th pic down LOOKS LIKE a Bobble-Head Doll
swatch watches 90 bucks and g shocks 90 bucks and up so 90 bucks for a plastic watch its not out of range because most brand watches are that anyway

I think they are over priced for as plastic as they look, I don’t see diamonds or gems. I don’t even know anybody who wears a watch other than my hubby. I probably have 20 watches but don’t bother wearing one, I think I don’t wear one because I am too blind to see what time it is. These watches do have big print for the visually challenged.
I’ll give Teyana’s mom a half-pass but she looks young. I guess she has my mother mentality dress how you want and not give a darn what others think especially if you look younger than your actual age.
Does anyone else remember when stop watches were popular or was that a NY thing back in the early 90’s. I remember I had a red one.
Just read ALL of the comment (Y’all are killing it Today)
Lance DOES look somewhat troubled in that pic AND Eva looks real PLASTIC in that pic
Everyone looked very nice! Eva’s makeup needed some help. I really like the watches! I need to buy one.
dblaq said I guess put a celebs name on it and it make it hot. Let me find some celebs that will endorse my sh!t, I will put out celebrity tampons, toilet tissue, icy hots, and calcium pills
***********************************************
I love randomness and those right there are some random thoughts. I will buy your icyhot though.The patches are on my list everytime I hit family dollar.
TT’s mom looks fabulous to have a child that can vote. Still hating the outfit. Maybe she’s been chilling with Janice Combs.
Now that I think about it Teyana’s mama was a little over the top on the super Sweet Sixteen show I dont remember what her mom does for a living but she is in the industry. Hey Sandra how about digging up some info on what the mother does in the industry because she did thrown a huge super sweet sixteen for Teyana so clearly she isn’t just a groupie, well never mind this is ATL we are talking about. I can talk about my city because I am a true ATLien.
@ missy
I’m extra late replying to you
Is that TT’s mother 4-real??? she looks like that actress who plays layla on the soap one life to live! in fact, i think that is her…not sure if that’s her mom?!
Lance is a cutie in person, saw him Saturday at the game. I almost forgot who I was with at the game… (wink) heeey!

I thought it was Layla also. I even typed it but when I got to her name I did not know how to spell it and did not feel like letting google be my friend. LOL.
Teyana’s mom is beautiful! The jumpsuit is a little too much but she definitely has the body for it. I am 36 and I wish I looked like that. LOL
@mirsmommy ok that’s what that chocolate does to you. (it does the body good) (lol)
@Shay1 i know if i see him in person i’ll get in trouble but i think him and eva make a cute couple and i won’t cross the boundaries to much.
@anna…
the name of the actress is tika sumpter and she doesn’t have any kids! http://www.tikasumpter.com/
that’s who that chick is in the picture with TT.

Thanx for stopping me from going crazy and for the link. I googled TT to see if I could find a pic of her mom.
@ anybody, what does TT’s mom look like?
so that NOT Teyana mom then? maybe thats her cousin
OFFTOPIC
i read that Gilbert fiance is pregnant by him, not Shaq… i think some of yall were saying that yesterday
@LJ.. no we were saying that it might not be his… and that is TT’s mother i looked it up and the woman i saw looks exactly like her.
LJ that has always been reported as such that she is prg by Gilbert BUT I think folks were saying he needs to do a DNA test to be on the safe side and maybe on other 2 kids as well
TTs mom has been on ustream before with her but I can’t recall what she looks like she was dressed down in sweats n t shirt doing teyanas hair
The beautiful chocolate lady in the picture is Tika Sumpter, who plays Layla on One life to live. She’s around 29 so she’s too young to be her Momma.
Oh, my bad, her identity has been revealed! I’m slow today!
oh ok @ daisy and missy. i been tryin to find those juicy emails lol

It’s ok some ppl need a second and third opinion. I always thought she looked like Tameka Foster.
teyana’s moms name is nikki taylor here is her twitter twitter.com/Nikkitaylor1
you know what as i look at the pic that doesn’t really look like her mom but……More like that Tika chick
my bad but she Tika does look a little like her mom
LJ very good work and check your twitter as to where to find the text msgs!
Teyana’s “mom” looks just like Laila from One Life To Live. She looks too young to be her mother but if it is good for her.
Eva’s face looks orange and Mo’s face looks like mine…if you know what I mean.
I like the watches JD, you can send mine in the mail
Teyana’s hair is poppin! And Monica looks great here!
