Stars and their Louis Vuitton

It’s been a long time since I made a Louis Vuitton post. Here’s Mariah Carey wearing Louis Vuitton jeans. I didn’t know they made Louis jeans. I wonder if she picked these up in China Town?


I’ve been dreaming about this black leather LV Christopher Epi ever since seeing Jay Z with it. I want one.

Following the chain snatching incident involving rapper 50 Cent at a concert in Angola last week, singer Akon will leave his bling at home when he travels to Africa tomorrow night.

Speaking via teleconference from his home in Atlanta, Akon confirmed that he had recovered from a sore throat that forced him to cancel a show last week. He will fly to Africa on a private jet chartered by the concert organizer.

Meanwhile, the African youth who snatched Fiddy’s bling was turned in to police by his own parents who recognized their crumb snatcher on a grainy video.

Video: Cops beat 3 black men like they shot someone

Actually they did shoot someone.

About 15 cops set on 3 black shooting suspects in Philly and stomped them senseless after a slow speed chase. Like Eddie Murphy suggested in the movie “Trading Places” – they used their nightsticks on ’em.

Let me be clear: I don’t like criminals and I have no sympathy for them when they are injured or maimed in the process of committing a crime.

If these were 3 innocent black men I would feel differently. Now watch Al Sharpton and Michael Baisden run to their defense.

Jay Z wasn’t at his wife’s side at the Costume Institute Gala the other night. But before tongues could start wagging, Beyoncé made sure she attended the Heart of the City Tour celebration at Jay Z’s 40/40 Club last night.

It’s amazing how Jay Z’s mind works: he doesn’t feel the need to accompany his wife to the biggest fashion event of the year. But she damn sure better be at his side for his little 2-bit affair to make him look good.

Mariah and Nick Cover People Magazine

People has the wedding photos
from Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s wedding.

I still think this is a sham/publicity stunt. But I know some of you believe everything you see and hear on the Internet.

For instance a lot of you believe that moron who claims he gave AIDS to 15,000 women. Yea, that’s the same idiot who claimed he gave Bow Wow HIV and he killed rapper Stack Bundles, blah blah blah.

You keep sending me that mess and I just put you on ignore because I pity the woman who doesn’t have sense enough to know that there are only 365 days in a year and a man only has so much stamina.

Plus CNN would be all over that if it were true.

R.I.P. Mildred Loving

Mildred Loving, a woman of color whose challenge to Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage led to a landmark decision by the Supreme Court, has died. Mildred passed away on Monday May 2, 2008 at her home in rural Milford, her daughter said Monday. She was 68.

Loving and her white husband, Richard, changed history in 1967 when the Supreme Court upheld their right to marry lifting the race mixing ban in 17 states.

Loving and her husband’s courageous action gave rise to a proliferation in mixed marriages that forever changed the racial composition of black people in America.

“It wasn’t my doing,” Loving said. “It was God’s work.”

“I want (people) to remember her as being strong and brave yet humble — and believed in love,” Peggy Fortune told The Associated Press.

I don’t for one second believe that Ne-Yo and Nicole with the last name that I can’t spell – are a couple. But some people do think they are based on the fact that Nicole and Ne-Yo tried to slip past waiting paparazzi after lunching at the Ivy in West Hollywood yesterday.

This coming Sunday (5/11) Ne-Yo will hold a special Mother’s Day Brunch at a private location in Atlanta. John Legend will serenade the ladies with songs. People are flying in for the occasion and MTV’s cameras will be rolling, so I better get my hair and nails did.
