Paris Hilton for President

This is why I love Paris. Seriously, her proposal is on point.

Penelope Cruz v. Anne Hathaway v. Leighton Meester

Who takes the pretty cake? I say mi favorita mujer de española, no?


I see a little Leighton, too.

Eric Roberts v. Heather Locklear

Per usual, I see it. Do you?

Keepin' it Old School

So, I was checking out my fabulous friend Charreah's blog, QueenToBe, where one of her posts featured this classic throwback of LL. Are we not seeing a lil Chirssy Boo in this pic? I see it.

Rihanna's Instyle Cover

Rihanna is InStyle's August cover girl. Y'all know how I feel about supporting black cover girls, so go cop that issue :). The August issue also marks the magazine's redesign, which will feature a new cheekier style, according to WWD.com .

Tracy Morgan v. Busta Rhymes

Yeah...

Is it just me or...

Something about R. Kelly's braids look...NOT right. Almost resembles those "braids" Shemar Moore rocked in Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Someone in hair and makeup was wrong for that.

Real World: Hollywood's Brittini v. RuPaul

One of my friends was like, "Stop hating, Brittini's pretty." And I was like, "Yeah, she is, and RuPaul is gorgeous." People, don't be mad at RuPaul's fabulosity. Sure, she's gone down in popularity over the past decade, but the 90s wouldn't have been the 90s without her decadence. Work!

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:

Yeah...not a good look boo. Do stick to plastic crusted tacky shoes for kiddies in the projects to waste their money on.

Young Jeezy put on feat. Kanye West music video

It sucks when the hottest verse in the song is the one sang by the featured artist. Any artist who has featured Weezy knows the deal. But in this case, Yeezy gets the glory. Sorry Jeezy.

Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna- If I Never See Your Face Again

I should just change my blog to "The Rihanna Daily." Chick is on fire. And this song is hot, too. Shout outs to Adam Lavigne and crew.

Heidi Montag v. Mary McCormack

Ms. Montag has a twin...or big sister (sans the monster chin)--It's Mary McCormack, star of USA's new drama In Plain Sight.

Jim Jones v. Pig Pen

Imagine the difficulty of getting a young Jimmy in the tub? Someone bless his poor mama's heart.
