Solange Knowles is pimping her son Juelz for a good cause
Remember when Solange Knowles promoted her new line of Hip Hop toys called Baby Jamz, which she said were inspired by her then 4-year-old son, Juelz?
Well, now she’s releasing a t-shirt line also inspired by the budding 6-year-old tycoon. Solange says that when Juelz heard about the earthquake in Japan, he was so moved that he was inspired to create a line of t-shirts to raise money for relief efforts…
Woman Defends Naming Her Restaurant Fat Ho Burgers
At a time when black women should be applauded for taking that first step toward financial independence by opening their own businesses, one Texas woman is struggling to defend the name of her business.
Lakita Evans is keeping the name of her new burger joint despite the growing protests from civic minded people who say the name “Fat Ho Burgers” is offensive to a small segment of society.
Evans says that people are offended by the name simply because they aren’t familiar with urban slang. “It’s not calling people a ho. It’s just like they say, ‘Oooh that ho is big,’ or, ‘That ho is tight!”‘ she told Fox News.
In the black community, the term “ho” is freely applied to people as well as to things. For instance, a brotha might spot a hot car and say, “That ho is fat!”
Other local business owners don’t see it that way. They say the 23-year-old is just using the name as a publicity stunt to draw attention to her business.
Pastor Marsha Martie, owner of the nearby Gospel Cafe, said: “[It] would’ve been nice to think a little more sensitively.”
But Evans says people should be more concerned with what’s going on in the world rather than the name of her burger joint.
“Look what’s going on in Japan. It’s like clear this world is not gonna get any better. Why cry and be depressed? The economy is bad. Somebody gotta keep a sense of humour around here,” she said.

Celebs Out & About: Aretha Franklin, Wendy Williams, NeNe Leakes, Taylor Armstrong
Reality TV stars, Taylor Armstrong, left, and NeNe Leakes, 44, headed out to dinner at BOA Steakhouse in LA last night. Not many people know that NeNe was once cited for running a fake foundation for victims of domestic abuse in 2009. NeNe’s Twisted Hearts Foundation was allegedly involved in money laundering activities. When NeNe failed to file the appropriate paperwork with the state, the foundation’s business license was dissolved.
Now that legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin has lost a gazillion pounds, I’m sure she feels better than she’s ever felt in years. Miss Franklin, who turned 69 today, sat courtside with former NBA star Patrick Ewing and NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg (not pictured) to watch the NY Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York City yesterday.
Talk Diva Wendy Williams, 46, was seen on the set of “Dancing With the Stars” studio in West Hollywood earlier this week. Wendy issued a challenge of sorts to disturbed singer Chris Brown. Earlier today she tweeted, “CHRIS BRWN I LUV U TOO. hot album but get help young man. c u @ #DWTS.” I’m sure she’s hoping he will do something crazy since we know he has issues with black women.

A Legend is Born: “Mo Mo” Jones
As he flew through the air with the greatest of ease, kids everywhere pointed skyward and asked “Who is that man in the blue Superman tights?”
After blowing away the #1 seed Duke Blue Devils, 93-77, during the 2011 NCAA men’s basketball tournament last night, Lamont “Mo Mo” Jones is well on his way to becoming a household name. All he has to do is help his team (Arizona Wildcats) defeat 3rd seeded UConn tomorrow, and soon enough ball players everywhere — from high school to the NBA — will pay homage by wearing his tights.
That’s the way it is when a legend is born.

Celebs Out & About: Chris Brown and his Next victim
Troubled singer Chris Brown, 21, and his 23-year-old girlfriend, Karrueche Tran (his only friend in the world besides his deranged mom) were all laughs as they caught a really early flight out of Richmond, Virginia this morning. The reason you’re seeing these two together so frequently is because Brown needs her to soften his badly damaged image. They’re laughing now but it’s only a matter of time before she says the wrong thing and he snaps and pushes her teeth into the back of her throat. I’m sure she’s thinking “not me,” but all women who date abusers are in denial until it’s their turn to feel his wrath. Hopefully, she has good insurance.
Edited: to add that Brown’s longtime publicist, Tammy Brook, has flown the coop. According to the NY Post’s Page Six, Brook has had enough of Brown’s antics and she dropped him as a client. Good for her!

GUESS WHO?
Earlier this week I posted exclusive pics from the set of Swizz Beatz’ new music video for “Coolin” featuring rapper Eve and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 12-year-old son, Christian. One of the other kids in the video is the 11-year-old son of a former male supermodel. Can you guess who the former male supermodel that many of us assumed was Teh Ghey is? No cheating!
