Alicia Keys isn’t a big enough star to cover Glamour Magazine alone
No matter how highly Alicia Keys thinks of herself, she isn’t a big enough star to grace the cover of GLAMOUR magazine by herself. The gangsta B-list singer, who used to wear a gold AK47 rifle on a chain around her neck, shares the October 2011 cover with A-list actresses Demi Moore (Ashton’s wife), and Jennifer Aniston.
On why her time in Egypt (the country) inspired her to create a baby:
“It was a time of transition. There were certain people [I was working with] who weren’t right. I had friends who weren’t right anymore. I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.” Source

Celebrity friends Ne-Yo, Flo Rida and Busta Rhymes, and others, got together at a recording studio in LA to celebrate the life of pop icon Michael Jackson, who would have turned 53 yesterday.
Thad of ExclusiveAccess.net was there to capture the celebration of life.
We found many people paying homage to Michael Jackson in honor of his birthday. From die hard fans leaving flowers on Michael Jackson’s star on Hollywood Blvd to stars like Flo Rida, Ne-Yo and their celebrity friends. Flo Rida explained he was in a festive mood due in part to the release of his latest single “Good Feeling” which was released on Michael Jackson’s birthday and debut on top 100. We caught up with Flo Rida in the studio working on his Only One Rider Part II album. Source

Newest smash-and-grab target: high end Yaki (Video)

Remember when the prized target of smash-and-grab thieves was high end jeans? Well, not anymore. The newest target of smash-and-grab criminals in Atlanta is high end Yaki.
The price of fake hair that our Black women prize the most is set to skyrocket due to a recent rash of burglaries.
According to the Atlanta Journal newspaper, hair thieves drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee through the front doors of the popular Angie’s Beauty Supply and Salon in the 1100 block of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard at dawn on Tuesday.
The thieves backed the jeep up and several men were caught on surveillance video running inside the store and making a beeline for the expensive “Indian Remi” hair on the wall behind the counter.
The men, all wearing masks to disguise their identities, can be seen frantically grabbing at the bundles of high end weave and leaving the cheaper hair. The thieves will turn around and sell the hair out of the trunk of their cars at a savings of pennies on the dollar.
Police are asking citizens and hair salons not to buy hair from the street hustlers.
Last Tuesday, three thieves also smashed their way into the Beauty Masters II store in the Camp Creek Marketplace shopping center on Camp Creek Parkway.
They were seen on video emptying the shelves of single strand weave before making their escape with hair valued at $50,000.
T.I. comes home tomorrow; will you welcome him with open arms?

Rapper T.I. is set to be released from an Arkansas prison tomorrow (Wednesday, Aug. 31st). The question is, will you welcome him with open arms and still buy his music, or are you tired of supporting rappers with prison revolving door mentalities?
It seems things are already looking up for T.I., as the rapper is being released from prison tomorrow. The Grand Hustle CEO is actually being released to a halfway house, so he won’t be entirely free yet. Although his jail release comes a month early, the rapper’s public records will still say September 29 as his release date. Now we just wait for the new music and book. Source

La La Anthony Covers VIBE Vixen’s Premiere Digital Issue
La La Anthony covers the premiere digital issue of Vibe Vixen.
Melo’s wife La La graces the cover as she juggles her newfound reality star power! La La, who’s reality series Full Court Life premiered on VH1 last week, dishes about her expectations for the show, her upcoming projects that may have Hollywood accepting a new face on red carpets and a few things you probably didn’t know about her!
Read the excerpts below:
On the topic of lesbian sexuality that arises:
My cousin Dice is a big part of my reality show and what’s important to me about Dice besides, obviously, that being my cousin and one of my best friends, is Dice is dealing with sexuality issues and different things like that. I think it’s important to see things like that on television because you have a lot of people struggling with who they are and trying to find themselves and worrying about if people aren’t going to accept them, and it’s good that we touch on these issues on the show. I think that can help a lot of people.
Of course, La La’s affable lesbun cousin Dice Dixon a 30-year-old grad student at A&T, is one of the reasons why many young ladies are tuning into La La’s show in droves. My spies tell me that sparks will fly between Dice and La La’s pal, Ciara, this season. But please don’t quote me on that.
Who is this girl that Chris Brown is kissing on?
Troubled singer Chris Brown, 22, was spotted lunching with his pal, rapper Bow Wow, 24, and a mystery LSLH girl who isn’t his girlfriend, Karrueche, whom he reportedly met on Twitter. Bow Wow, who has a baby daughter with another Twitter groupie, watched as CB got cozy with the chick at the lunch table. Later they were spotted shopping and spending CB’s cash in West Hollywood, CA.
Brown, who was dissed by rap icon Jay Z who refused to clap for him at the MTV VMAs, definitely has his preference in women. They are never black, and they are almost impossible to tell apart. Let’s hope this latest chick stays safe and she is aware of Brown’s violent history against women.

Michael Vick celebrates $100 million, 6-year contract with Philly

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is celebrating a new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles worth $100 million over 6 years, with $40 million guaranteed.
As is the case with Carmelo Anthony, Vick, 31, has never proven himself to be a franchise player who can bring home the trophy.
Vick had a similar lucrative contract with the Falcons before being arrested on federal charges of dog fighting and running a criminal enterprise. But despite the millions that he made as a Falcons star, Vick ended up penniless and barely able to afford his attorneys before he was sentenced to 23 months in prison in 2007 (he served 21 months).
History will likely repeat itself, as is always the case with fools and their money.
