How To Snag a True Baller
This past weekend I ran into so many ballers in Atlanta. I guess I just happened to be in the right places at the right times.
A few of the ballers I can’t even name because they roll so quietly in the ATL. You would never know these men were ballin’ unless you saw them step out of their Bentley’s or Phantoms — or unless you have a good eye for fine timepieces.
One of the men — who happens to be a friend of mine — knows that I love fine watches. So he brought out his impressive collection of timepieces. I marveled at the APs (Audemars Piguet) and Hublot’s he had in just one case of his large collection (pictured at right).
AP and Hublot are the favored watches of many wealthy stars such as T.I., Jay Z and LeBron James, among others. My friend’s watch collection also contains several pieces from the Aximum line, which is owned by every celebrity and ball player in the world! His collection ranges from $50,000 to well over $200,000 for just one timepiece!
You might recognize his Aximum King Pro (pictured up top) as the same timepiece that Big Poppa purchased for Kim Zolciak on Real Housewives of Atlanta (Kim’s watch is rose gold). The Aximum showroom is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Buckhead. You need an appointment just to view their timepieces.
Visit the Aximum website here.
Apart from the cars he drives, you would never know he had a million dollar watch collection just by looking at him. His clothing is nondescript (Polo button downs, t-shirts, jeans and white sneakers) — and he moves without an entourage.

Celebs Out & About: Rihanna gets frisky with her BFF Melissa
Pop singer Rihanna and her BFF Melissa Forde are back in the US after spending the holidays in their native Barabados.
The “Only Girl” singer must have had sex on her mind after dining with Melissa at Philippe Chow in Los Angeles yesterday.
When asked by a paparazzi what her New Year’s resolution was, RiRi answered “sex!” Simultaneously, Rihanna grabbed a handful of her lady friend’s butt cheek. You can hear Melissa giggle as the bodyguard shuts the door of their limo. At least RiRi is honest!
By the way, Rihanna was wearing her favorite backpack from the Louis Stewart Collection — the emerald green one in leather and suede! How cute. I have one just like it in grey suede.

Celeb Style: Rihanna Wearing Louis Stewart
Rihanna looked HAWT on the set of Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” music video last night! She is modeling her brand new custom Emerald green Louis Stewart Collection suede backpack/duffle set! I hear Rihanna put in a large order for more bags in multiple colors. She is so trendy!
In a recent Vanity Fair magazine interview Rhianna mentioned that The Louis Stewart Collection is her favorite accessory line on the planet!! Awesome!
Fashion FAIL: Jamie Foxx
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.
See how the coat is supposed to fit after the break.
Celeb Style: Rihanna wearing Louis Stewart backpack
Singer Rihanna was spotted arriving at the Wembley Studio’s in London this morning for her duet on the ‘X-Factor’ final. RiRi showed off her new custom pink Louis Stewart backpack!
Even though she wore a ball cap, we can see that she got rid of that horrid red lacefront wig that she wore for months to promote her album, LOUD. Her hair (or at least her bangs) is now black. We can’t wait to see RiRi’s new hairstyle!
By the way, if you follow Rihanna on Twitter.com, then you know that her BFF Melissa is back in her life! RiRi Twitpic’d a cell picture of her “hoes” – which included Melissa – chilling on a private jet on their way to London last night.
That’s Melissa down in front, and Rihanna is 2nd from left.
As you know, Melissa was missing in action for a great many months while Rihanna wasted her time dating baseball star — and serial cheater — Matt Kemp.
An insider whispered in my ear that Kemp and Melissa didn’t get along with each other, which explains her disappearance from Rihanna’s side. But now that he’s gone, Melissa is back where she belongs!
