Only Jamie Foxx can make a hawt $3,000 Burberry shearling trench coat look like a car cover.
From UpscaleHype:
Jamie Foxx was spotted around Good Morning America studios wearing a Burberry Shearling Trim Trench Coat ($3,195). This coat has an olive color, and features a double collar design with beige shearling trim, shoulder epaulets, a double breasted button and zip front, and a buckle belt strap.

The Winners of the T.I. $400 Shopping Spree Are…
I thought picking 10 winners out of the 200+ submissions would be easy, but it was a lot more difficult than I imagined! I read some heart wrenching stories and I had to make some tough decisions. It came down to who answered the questions correctly AND submitted the photo that I requested.
Congratulations to the winners! Each of you will receive a $400 Toys R Us gift card for your child! In addition to that, you and your children will get the chance to meet Grand Hustle artists Young Dro, Lil Duval and the OMG Girlz!
You will be contacted by someone from Grand Hustle later today or tomorrow morning. The shopping spree location will be given to you at that time. The shopping spree is between 7 and 9 p.m. tomorrow, Dec. 21, at a Toys R Us in Atlanta.
If you are a winner and you know you won’t be able to make it tomorrow, please email me at sandra @ sandrarose.com, or your GH contact no later than 12 p.m. tomorrow and let us know.
See if you won after the break!
Did Amber Rose hit the Jackpot with Amar’e Stoudemire?
Those of you who have been charting Amber Rose’s successful rise from stripper to industry slore probably already know that she’s found another mark. Rumor has it that Kanye’s ex-beard and the NY Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire are an item.
Amber attended the LeBron James ‘One of a Kind Night’ event at 1OAK on Thursday, Dec. 16, and then she copped a coveted court side seat at the Miami Heat vs NY Knicks game the next day.
Only time will tell if Amar’e is really as clueless as he looks, or if they just happened to be taking pictures together at the party. Maybe Amar’e doesn’t read the blogs?

Celebs Out & About: Ludacris, Fabolous, Sean Combs, Jamie Foxx, Red Cafe, Lance Gross
(L-R) Rappers Fabolous, Sean “Puffy” Combs and Red Cafe attended the Inaugural Joy to the World Fest Black Tie Gala at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia on Saturday, Dec. 18.
Rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges signed bottles of Conjure Cognac yesterday (Dec. 19) at Kenwood Liquors in Chicago, IL. I wonder if there was a line out the door?
RHOA’s Sheree Whitfield somehow got on the guest list. My jeweler confided in me that Sheree recently came into the store and dropped $32,000 on a 18k gold Rolex Presidential watch. She’s not wearing that classic timepiece in these pics, which makes me wonder who she really bought the watch for?

Nelly to Ashanti: ‘You’re dying if you leave me’
On-again-off-again celebrity couple Ashanti and Nelly attended Nelly’s 5th Annual Black And White Christmas Ball at Chase Park Plaza in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri yesterday. Performers included Ashanti and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run DMC.
Last week Rap-Up TV caught up with the rapper and asked him why he’s waiting so long to marry Ashanti. “I think you really have to be friends first. It’s not about how long it takes,” he explained. “I’m not a person that wants to get married more than once. If I’ma do it, I’ma do it. You’re dying if you leave me.”

fanMAIL: Political Intervention
Good morning all! I’m sipping my morning tea while reading through my emails.
Over the weekend, a couple of significant pieces of legislation were voted on by the Senate. I’m not into politics and I don’t want to offend my politically sensitive readers, so I will reserve my opinion on either bill.
Thank goodness for loyal reader Jerri Harper who has a strong opinion on the bills, and Obama in general.
A new post will be up shortly.
Jerri Harper writes:
Good Afternoon,
My name is Jerri and I have been reading your website for almost a year now and I also recently became a member (thank you for finally opening up registration). I notice how you show restraint when it comes to falsely accusing or perhaps jumping to conclusions with the celebrities and famous people, however to me it appears that you are quick to show a bias towards our president. Let me preface the rest of this email by saying that I am from Texas a very red and conservative state, I stay in Dallas which is becoming more and more of democratic county. I am a finishing up my degree in political science and I have down campaign work for republicans and democrats alike. I grasp economics and the politics that is known as politics. I also voted for President Obama, yet I am not a “kool-aid” drinker as you like to graciously put it…
I decided to write because I noticed that while you were quick to mention the alleged royal snub of not being invited to the royal wedding, you made no mention of the tax cut package (that [President Obama] quickly bent over backwards to appease republicans) nor the fact that the DADT policy had been repealed. You are quick to point out the flaws, but why did you not jump on the opportunity to show that his policy is not a total liberal or socialist policy? Are you aware that corporations posted a record TRILLION PLUS DOLLAR PROFIT and yet hiring is still at a minimal? Since the mid-term elections and the passage of the tax cut package layoffs and the reduction of staff have already begun to rise. Are you aware of the complexities of the deficit? Are you aware that almost half of the deficit is composed of interest only payments on debt (that will also rise since the basis of these tax cuts are unfunded)? Do you not keep up with the amount of the budget that does not include emergency funding for the war accounts for a large part as well? Did you know that when he signed this tax cut package he also launched an attack on the dwindling social security funds? You call him a socialist, yet he is often at odds with the true liberals in his own party…
Looking back over the years at previous presidents and their administrations all presidents have flaws. President Clinton is often regarded as “the first black president” yet he did more to set back blacks and the democratic party than baby Bush ever did. Most of the economic problems that we are dealing with now are a result of previous administrations attacks on the lower and middle class, separating the haves from the have nots: the stomping out of social welfare programs, the tapping into the social security funds, the launching of Cold War and Wars on Terror, and the unwarranted tax cuts.
I’m not sure if you are dedicated to politics as you are to your blog, but sometimes you cannot go off of what politicians or what the media has to say in regards to politics. They have their own agendas and platforms to promote and reelections to procure funds for to secure that highly coveted incumbent title. Unfortunately most Americans have to work and don’t necessarily have the luxury of keeping themselves informed and trying to seek out the truth in regards to what is happening around them. Most people have to get their facts and opinions from a third party. I just ask that before you post something in regards to the President, please make sure it is an informed post and unbiased; attempt to grant him some of the civility that you allow the celebrities.
In closing, I too at times are disappointed with the Democratic party as much as I am with the Republican party. I am one of the few that know the constitution does not specifically mention the separation of church and state. I would like to say that I know you want your readers to be informed and educated about important topics, otherwise you would not do your medical minutes. I just ask that you don’t use your blog as a bias in regards to politics.
Respectfully,
Jerri Harper
