T.I. Lavishes Gifts On Guests for Private Welcome Home Party
Remember we told you last week about rapper T.I.’s private Welcome Home party to be held after he’s released from a halfway house? Well, TMZ has the details on the intimate affair for exactly 150 guests on October 2nd. According to the gossip website, T.I.’s good friend Sean “Diddy” Combs is personally shipping in 150 bottles of Ciroc, one for each person in attendance. The whole bash will cost around $100K, with $20K just on food and additional $8K on dessert.
The big surprise of the night — reps from AKOO Clothing, T.I.’s clothing line, will measure the VIP guests for custom-made clothing gifts.
Of course, T.I. isn’t leaving out the blogs; one lucky Sandrarose.com reader will receive an invite to attend the Exclusive affair at an undisclosed location. T.I.’s artist Mitchelle’l, whose hawt single “Only A Few” has everyone buzzing, is set to perform for the lucky 150 guests. We usually don’t attend industry parties, but we might make an exception for this one!

Jay Z, La La & Carmelo Anthony, Zoe Saldana, Common, Ne-Yo celebrate Nas’ 38th birthday
It’s been 10 years since rapper Nas Ethered his rival Jay Z on wax by implying that the illest MC was gay and a narcissist. But last night the two men, who magnanimously settled their feud years ago, came together to celebrate Nas’ 38th birthday at Catch in New York City.
La La and her husband Carmelo Anthony looked very classy and respectable last night. Ladies, pay attention: this is how you dress when you’re with your man in mixed company. Exposing your cleavage when you’re with your man around other men is never acceptable under any circumstance.
Celebs Out & About: Nicki Minaj, Dwyane Wade
Cartoonish rapper Nicki Minaj, 29, looked like she was attending a funeral instead of a high fashion affair at the Yves Saint Laurent store during NYC’s Fashion Night Out. For Minaj this Geisha girl look is probably as conservative as it gets. Minaj, who is bisexual, attended the event with her troubled, on again/off again boyfriend/hype man, Safaree Samuels, 32, who you recall bashed her in the mouth with a designer suitcase in a widely publicized assault back in June.
