Celebs Out & About

Actress Regina King strolled down the runway at the Heart Truth Red Dress Fashion Show in New York City. Today is Day 2 of the Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week in Bryant Park. Regina is my idea of the perfect woman with her athletic toned bod, short hair and beautiful smile. Does anyone know if she’s single?

British chanteuse Estelle tries so hard doesn’t she? Estelle gets an ‘E’ for effort in this silk chiffon and satin dress thingy at the Heart Truth Red Dress Fashion Show in New York City. Today is Day 2 of the Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week in Bryant Park.

I thought American Idol winner Jordin Sparks was shock jock-turned-TV talk show host Wendy Williams when I first saw this pic.

More pics after the break!

Gabrielle Union Covers JET Magazine

Last week I told you about JET Magazine’s redesigned logo and cover. This week’s cover features industry carousel actress Gabrielle Union. Something about the cover caught my eye so I blew it up and I noticed that Gabby’s mascara looked like it was smeared.

Now, I’m not an expert on makeup since I don’t wear any. But is her mascara supposed to look like that?

In the cover story titled GABRIELLE UNION – UNINHIBITED, Gabby talks about dating Dwyane Wade, her biggest fear and what’s next.

On the surface, it seems that everything is just about perfect in Gabrielle Union¹s world. She’s playing a lawyer on a hit TV show; she’s in love with a hot, younger man and she’s a spokesperson for a major skin care company. But the actress says she’s the first to admit that her self-work is nowhere near completed. “There are some things I personally want to improve upon in my own life,” she said. “I’m working on personality and character traits that I know need to be tweaked. So yes, I do want more.” (p. 36)

This issue hits stands Monday, Feb. 15, 2010.




 

Behind The Scenes: Monica “Everything To Me” Video

Last night I spoke with R&B Diva who just landed in snowy Dallas from the sunny west coast where she filmed her new video for her hit single “Everything To Me”. Mo was shocked to hear that one of her favorite fashion designers committed suicide yesterday. She immediately dedicated her video to the iconic designer.

Mo sent over these pics of the beautiful Alexander McQueen fashions she wore in her new video.

McQueen was found hanged in his London flat yesterday morning. He was despondent over the passing of his mother the week before. Her funeral was set for today.

Monica writes:

The video is a take of the movie “Obsessed”. It takes lots of different turns as you see me attempt to protect my family throughout the video. Today was however bittersweet. All of the clothing was made by the amazing Alexander Mcqueen, and learning of his death was heart wrenching. My stylist Marni and I were devastated. I dedicate this video to him, and his beautiful visions that helped us to achieve all we wanted and more. Life is short. We must all enjoy each moment.

Premiere: LeToya Luckett – Good To Me

This is the music video that all the kids have been anticipating just to see how the rumored down low actor/model Keston Karter would pull off the straight man role. I think he did pretty good, but his HUD tendencies still shined right through. Especially during the cuddling scene on the sofa (chile please).

There’s no chemistry at all between the two. LeToya Luckett can blow though.

Obama Tied With ‘Nobody’ in 2012 Poll

Can it get any worse for U.S. president Barack Obama? In a new generic 2012 poll just released today, the embattled president leads a nameless Republican by only two points (44-42) — meaning anyone who runs against him in 2012 will beat him. In other words, if I ran for president in 2012 I would beat Obama. That’s how bad things have gotten for him.

The era of Hope and Change may have given way to the era of Who’s Next? Gallup reports that just a little over a year into his presidency, Barack Obama has not only failed to unite the country, but has almost squandered his own electability. In their latest poll, Gallup finds Obama in a virtual tie with a generic Republican candidate…

In this poll, only 31% of independents would cast a vote for Obama today, while 45% say they will vote for a Republican alternative. That fourteen-point gap also tells a story about how turnout will go for Obama in 2012. Read more…
