Kanye West performs at the “© Murakami” retrospective exhibition opening at The Brooklyn Museum on April 3, 2008 in Brooklyn, New York.

Rihanna arriving at Jay Z and Beyonce‘s wedding yesterday. I’m kidding! Rihanna juggles her cute pooch, its leash, her handbag and cell phone while hopping into her chauffeur-driven limo. The life of a superstar on the go.

Sean Combs and Bad Boy signee Janelle Monae canoodle before her performance at the Blender Theater at Gramercy on April 3, 2008 in NY. At least she bought some new threads with her Diddy dollars. Janelle is very nice but her whole career is built on a gimmick. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. As a college student, my favorite groups were The Talking Heads and the B-52s – both of which relied on gimmicks to sell records.
