A Rocawear Celebration

Last night celebs came out in full force to celebrate Rocawear's fall campaign, which stars Melanie Fiona and Trey Songz. It seems like everyone was there, from Jay-Z, Kanye West and the stars of the campaign to Jay's sister-in-law Solange, Common, Serena Williams (are they still together?), and Selita Banks. Oh, Omarion was there too. What in the hell is he wearing?

Me and Mommy

Awww check out how cute Jennifer Hudson's son David Otunga Jr. is! JHud brought the little guy with her as she made the rounds on "Good Morning America" and "Live with Regis & Kelly" in NYC the other day. Jen is currently campaigning for healthy meals for children.
I love the fact that she's bringing her own everywhere she goes. It's rare for a Hollywood mom to have her kid with her at all times. Good on JHud.

MJ's Mother Blames Tour Organizers for his Death

Katherine Jackson doing whatever she can to reprimand anyone who may have had a hand in Michael Jackon's death. Now, Katherine and MJ's kids are filing a lawsuit against AEG Live for their negligence of hiring Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray and for breach of their agreement to provide physical care.
According to TMZ, Katherine claims AEG's contract with Michael "created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson." She says AEG never conducted a background check on Dr. Murray and that "AEG did not provide a doctor who was truly looking out for Jackson's well-being and did not provide equipment."
AEG is also being accused of causing emotional distress to Michael's son Prince because he was allowed to witness Michael dying.
"The purpose of this lawsuit is to prove to the world the truth about what happened to Michael Jackson, once and for all," says Katherine's attorney, Brian J. Parish.
I dunno what to make of this. I guess we'll have to see how it all plays out.

Mariah's Secret Lover to Expose the Industry?

Finally there is a male version of Karrine Stephans, well at least in the "tell-all book" aspect. Da Mizza is a hip-hop producer who has sold over 30 million records and worked with artists like Dr. Dre, Michael Jackson, Hootie & The Blowfish, Eric Burdon and others. According to Da Mizza, who produced Mariah's hit singles "Crybaby," "Irresistible" and "I Still Believe," he was Mariah Carey's live-in boyfriend while working at LA's Power 106. Now he's releasing a book that will apparently reveal details of "one of the industry's most passionate love affair."
According to Da Mizza, Mariah's lawyers gave him a cease and desist request to block the release of the book, where he exposes several other key industry figures. Da Mizza says,"It’s the truth. When it comes to the music industry I know how deep the rabbit hole goes ... and I’m taking fans along for the ride. But there’s a lot more to my story than introducing Mariah to Eminem."
He continued to say, "It’s the truth of why Dr. Dre’s “Detox” has been in limbo for more than a decade ... it’s how Jay-Z became huge enough to run Def-Jam Records ... it’s how I salvaged Janet Jackson’s relationship with radio programmers all over the world. I’m letting loose on how records are made, promoted, leaked, paid off, corrupted and careers and lives made and destroyed at the whims of ego and corporate corruption. I was there.”
Guilty by Association is in stores October 10. Will it be on your must-read list?

Lady GaGa Explains Her Choice of Meat

I can smell Lady GaGa's outfit through the screen. She rocked this meat dress by Franc Fernande when accepting one of her MTV Video Awards the other night. So what's the story behind it? Well, GaGa says she didn't mean to offend any vegans or vegetarians but it was a statement she had to make: "As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations, but for me this evening … if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones." She then added, "And I am not a piece of meat."
If you say so GaGa....if you say so...

Amber's Pink Do...

Although we're pretty sure that CreamWorld's Summer 2010 cover girl, Amber Rose didn't permanently dye her hair bright pink, this is pretty drastic change from her usual blond 'do. She hit the runway for the Indashi show for NY Fashion Week at the Metropolitan Pavillion last night. Do we love the hair?
