Big Boi v. Diddy v. Fantasia?!

Yeah....



Separated at birth! What do you think?

Mr. Vogue v. Mr. Cooper

Somehow I pressed a button at work and have Mark Curry as my screen saver. It's kind of eerie, but anyway, peep the resemblance between Andre Leon Tally, famed Vogue Ed. at Large and, more importantly, the one responsible for J-Hudson's disastrous tin-foil caplet at last year's Oscars.

 

Me no likey.

Lots of things made 100 this year [pause]...

And so did aroundtownbrown. I finally hit 100 posts. I'm proud of myself. Keep hitting up the blog and telling people about it.

See you around!

Shaq Freestyle (w/ lyrics) Against Kobe 6/22/08 (Kobe Diss)

Look who was at my favorite spot Sunday? Well, damn Shaq, I guess we're still salty with the Kobes? I feel ya tho, his comments back in '03 were pure bitchassness, indeed. But "tell me how my ass tastes?"....I hope that's a reference to his height.

Is Maddox the Next Snipper?

Hopfully I'm not the only person disturbed by Angelina Jolie's gun shaped necklace, designed by her eldest son, Maddox. She wore the piece in a recent Entertainment Weekly spread, where she states:

''Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios,'' she explains. ''He's all into war and guns. So for Mother's Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It's really cute. I think it's really good!''

Hmmm....really good for Maddox would be if her drew her a map of the world, seeing as his 6-year-old self has visited damn near all of it. When I see Maddox on the 10 o'clock news for shootin' up Brentwood, I won't be surprised.

Diane von Furstenberg is still the best

Diane von Furstenberg has been scoring high with her Spring '08 collection, "Under the Volcano." The tribal influences and bold designs are sure to spice up many 5th avenue wardrobes.

For the rest of us--myself included--a belted dashiki will have to do. Holla!

And look who I peeped rocking the DVF look? It's Ms. Keyshia Cole, who has def. been stepping up her fab game. I must find out if a new hair and woredrobe team is behind the improvement. She looked ultra sleek on 106 last night and even hotter at the "If Looks Could Kill" event (sponsored by Toyota and Essence) a few days back. Love it!

And all Diddy has to do is get a few of these minis for Danity Kane; let those chicks look coordinated for once.

Damn Diddy. Geesh.

No No!!

I'm really trying hard not to turn this into a hater blog, but it's so hard not to. Take these Cherish twins for example. They seem like cool people, but once you get famous, you can't keep shopping at Rainbow and G+G. Case in point: these tackilicious shoes and spandex dresses. Ladies, if you want to go mainstream, do step the game up. Need inspiration? Peep Rihanna any day of the week. Just tryina help.

Angela Stop-Singing Simmons

You all know the Aoki and Ming Sing Along CD's are next up, right? Well at least the family is all about keeping it in the family....

but anyways...

Angela happens to be my fave of the Simmons clan, as I much appreciate her go-getter attitude (even if ish is practically handed to her). But this mess? As if her Pasty's weren't bad enough, homey has decided to up the anty and establish a "singing" career. I checked out her Pasty's site and here's some of the comments people made in reaction to her new venture:
