Celeb Style: Sean Combs and Bu Thiam (Def Jam VP A&R)

From UpscaleHype.com:
Rap Mogul Sean”Diddy”Combs was spotted out at the BET Awards After Party at Mansion Elan in Atlanta Georgia, which was hosted by himself and Rick Ross. Diddy was seen standing on furniture in a pair of Christian Louboutin Louis Flat Spike Sneakers ($1,095) in black suede alongside Akon’s brother Bu Thiam who was wearing the same pair, but in a taupe colorway. Which colorway do you like better?


I saw the ladies version of these shoes in Neiman Marcus at Lenox Mall yesterday. I’m not feeling them at all. They look like cheap high tops with studs on them. But I guess they’re paying for the name.
By the way, the young brotha on the bottom left of the picture with Combs is Interscope Records exec Shawn “Tubby” Holiday. He is a longtime reader of this blog and he took note of you ladies constantly mentioning him in the comment section in certain posts.

Tubby knew that you ladies were feeling him or you wouldn’t waste your time commenting on him. Well, recently, Tubby decided to undergo a life changing procedure to help him lose weight because he knew that carrying around all that extra weight wasn’t good for his health.
Last night I talked Tubby into writing about his experience for my blog. Check for that post soon.

Here is Tubby posing with his artist Keyshia Cole back in the day.

Here’s Tubby posing with his artist Keri Hilson at the Belvedere Vodka BET Hip Hop Awards 2010 party at Ventanas Rooftop in Atlanta. Tubby dropped almost 80 lbs since the procedure! Doesn’t he look great?

Nicki Minaj and Will.I.Am Perform Live on “Late Night”

The most significant part about rapper Nicki Minaj and Will.I.Am’s performance last night on “Late Night Wth David Letterman” was that they performed live — no lip syncing.
That means Nicki did not have the added benefit of an engineer in the studio twisting knobs to make her sound cartoonish. as a result, she sounded woefully out of tune.
I still can’t figure out why anyone takes this chick seriously. She’s not even remotely talented. Her performance was lackluster and boring. Rappers like Nicki Minaj are the reason Hip Hop is in the sad state it is today.

Morning Glory: Serena Williams
Tennis superstar Serena Williams was seen frolicking on Miami Beach yesterday with ex-boyfriend, rapper Common and Russell Simmons (not pictured).

No, Serena and Common are not back together. Common told friends that their split was an amicable one, meaning they remain good friends.
Remember when we used to fiend for pics like this one of Serena’s bikini clad bod back in the glory days when she was the finest tennis player on the planet?

Morning Glory: Cassie Ventura
Sean Combs’ concubine, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, was spotted soaking up the sunshine on Miami Beach yesterday.
My apologies in advance for the rather weak Morning Glory pics today. But I do realize that some of my male readers are currently enamored with these flavorless LSLH chicks like Cassie.

Celebs Out & About: Christina Milian and Baby Violet
Singer Christina Milian and her beautiful daughter Violet Nash attended a birthday party for a friend’s 1-year-old daughter at Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday.

According to my sources, Christina also broke the happy news to her friends that she’s pregnant again! She wore a cute sundress that complimented her pregnancy glow! I wonder who’s the daddy? Maybe the daddy is Def Jam records exec Shawn “Pecas” Costner, whom Christina dated for a few months?
I love the natural hairstyles on the beautiful sistahs who attended the party! LOVE the afro! Ladies, please throw away the Yaki and embrace your natural beauty and African culture.
