Celebs Out & About: T.I., Tiny, and Tocarra in Beverly Hills
Rap mogul Tip “T.I.” Harris, 32, his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 37, and Tiny’s friend Tocarra Jones, 31, were seen leaving a restaurant after dining together in Beverly Hills Tuesday (Feb. 5). It’s hard to remember the days when Tocarra was overweight.

Celeb Style: On Top Of His Game

Rapper The Game wanted you to see the newest edition to his Louis Stewart Collection. This is the cinnamon brown and navy gator set that The Game custom ordered to his specifications.

Unlike Louis Vuitton, which doesn’t even take custom orders for soft sided luggage any more, Louis Stewart accepts custom orders and his turnaround time is less than two weeks!

Obama: iPad is the Most Useless ‘Distraction’ Known To Man

So yesterday I met up with an old friend who brought along her Louis Vuitton messenger bag to our lunch date. Inside the bag was her brand new iPad.
She happily told me she wasn’t following the crowd because she had resisted the initial onslaught of overhyped iPad ads for at least a month before she finally gave in after reading on my blog that her favorite singer Monica had an iPad. She said she loves it.
Me, on the other hand, I still have no use for an iPad. I already have a MacBook Pro (which I’m typing this post on) and a HTC smart phone, which I hate, but it serves my purposes when I want to browse the Internet while out & about.
I simply can’t see myself dragging that monster iPad out of a bag just to check the sports scores — unless I just want the people around me to see that I have an iPad — and I am not that vain.
US president Barack Obama probably feels the same way. He doesn’t own an iPad either.
Obama told the graduating class of Hampton University today (April 9) that the iPad is just another useless invention that will only lead them to distraction as they try to find work in a dismal job market.
Last week Apple CEO Steve Jobs bragged that his iPad sold over 1 million units. With over 300 million people in the US, I am not impressed.
Besides, that figure doesn’t include all the replacement iPads exchanged by clumsy owners who dropped and broke their first units.
Congratulations T.I.

For winning your first ever Moon Man at the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards!
FanMAIL: Tiny would love this!

Loyal reader Shana sent this pic of a new Louis Vuitton bag that she thinks Tiny will LOVE. Unfortunately, Tiny’s personal shopper (her man T.I.) is preoccupied right now. But we’re sure if Tiny really wants this bag, T.I. can just pick up a phone and make that happen!
Celeb Style: LeBron James

What happened to the dress code that the NBA instituted a while back? I have never seen LeBron James cleaned up nicely except in that Vitamin Water commercial. Anyway, thanks to Greg for this shot of LeBron arriving in China for the Summer Olympic games.
About the only thing stylish in this photo is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall LeBron is wearing. So he gets a pass for the rest of his getup.
Greg pointed out the $350 Beats By Dre headphones that LeBron has — and that all the Olympic basketball players received for free from Apple. LeBron is wearing his with the red accessory wire for his iPOD. The Beats By Dre headphones use the same noise canceling technology as the BOSE QuietComfort Noise Reduction headphones which, coincidentally, also retails for $350.
