Celeb Style: Lil Wayne in Nike Air Yeezy
Lil Wayne has bigger problems to worry about than what you think about his personal style. For instance, he has enough trouble keeping his jump offs separated from each other. Weezy was spotted sitting courtside at the Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat game yesterday (Jan. 2) at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. The Heat suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Josh Smith and T-Mac of the Hawks 100-92. The two teams meet again tomorrow night (Jan. 4) at the Philips Arena in Atlanta.
According to Upscalehype.com, Weezy was clad in a grey Odd Future “Earl” hoodie ($75), spotted animal print shorts, and Nike Air Yeezy Net Tan sneakers ($215). Seated next to Weezy on his left is actor Adrian Brody and on his right is Young Money rapper Mack Maine.
And this is what Wayne wore to the Charlotte vs Miami game in Miami on Jan. 1.
Jim Jones Accused of Stealing Drake’s Bomber Jacket Design
Beyonce and Dipset rapper Jim Jones both have something in common.
The 35-year-old rapper whose fading Hip Hop career peaked in 2006 with the release of his only hit (“We Fly High”) is being accused of ripping off one of Canadian rapper Drake’s leather jacket designs.
The two jackets do look very similar when placed side by side. The only difference seems to be the fur trim on the hoodie.
Drake recently released his limited edition OVO CDN bomber jacket which retails for a whopping $4,000 USD! The jacket features luxury buffalo leather, a silk-linked interior and a detachable fox fur trim along with real gold-plated hardware. According to Punchbowl blog, the jacket is available for purchase beginning on December 28, in Drake’s hometown, as well as in New York, Tokyo and Osaka.
Now Jim Jones is also hawking a black leather bomber jacket for $175, made from cheaper materials with a design that is similar in almost every detail to Drake’s limited edition OVO jacket.
Celeb Style: Jay Z wearing Nike Air Yeezy 2 Sneakers
Beyonce’s husband, aging rap mogul Jay Z, 42, cheered on Kim Kardashian’s ex, Kris Humphries and the NJ Nets at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ yesterday. Jigga showed support for his former tour partner, Kanye West, by rocking a pair of his unreleased Nike Air Yeezy 2 Sneakers in black and pink colorway. According to Upscalehype.com, the basketball shoes are expected to be released in March, 2012 and priced at $235.
You might recognize the man sitting next to Jay Z as his former trap partner, Emory Jones, who was sentenced to 16 years hard time in federal prison after he was busted for drug trafficking in Maryland.
Jay Z wrote the judge and coerced him into shaving 37 months off of Emory’s sentence by promising Jones a steady job paying $50K annually last year.
Celeb Style: Gabrielle Union, Savannah Brinson, Adrienne Williams at Celtics vs Heat
The Boston Celtics dropped their 2nd straight game last night when they lost to the blazing Miami Heat 115-107 at the American Airlines Arena. Boston, whose captain Paul Pierce is out with a bruised left heel, opened their season with a close loss to the NY Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Last night Miami led by as much as 20 points over the hapless Celtics in the 3rd quarter. But the odds on favorite for the 2012 NBA championship blew that lead in the 4th quarter when the Celtics, led by veteran guard Keyon Dooling’s 18 points off the bench, mounted a strong comeback.
Rookie Heat guard Norris Cole drew chants of “MVP!” from the crowd when he came off the bench to score 14 of his 20 points in the 4th quarter. Cole’s clutch jump shots in the final minute of the game sealed the win for Miami, who are now 2-0.
Miami Heat star LeBron James finished the night with 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
But it was his baby mama, Savannah Brinson, who put on a show in the stands with her inappropriate game attire. Gabrielle Union (D. Wade’s fiancee) and Adrienne Williams (Chris Bosh’s wife) both dressed respectfully, but Savannah’s outfit was the talk of Twitter.com.
Before she left home to attend the game, Savannah tweeted a pic of herself wearing a black miniskirt which was more suitable for a cheerleader than for the conservative hometown girl from Cleveland, Ohio.
Celebs Out & About: Kevin Hart and Mystery Companion
Twitter comedian Kevin Hart seems to have found a girl more his size. The ‘Think Like A Man‘ star has a Napoleon complex which makes it hard for him to stay in a stable relationship for very long. The couple were spotted spending his money in high end stores on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills yesterday. We don’t know her name, but hopefully she is stacking his chips because he will soon tire of her and move on to the next breezy.

Celebs Out & About: Paula Patton, Dania Ramirez, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Milian, Isaiah Mustafa
The lovely Paula Patton stopped by ‘The Today Show’ in NYC to promote her movie ‘Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol’ this morning. It must be hard on Robin Thicke to be known more for being Paula’s husband than his music. I couldn’t name one song he sings, but I know who his gorgeous wife is.

Kim Kardashian’s sister Khloe Kardashian-Odom was spotted having a wild hair day in Dallas while apartment shopping for her and her husband Lamar Odom.
