Flicks From June Ambrose’s Effortless Style Book Party
June Ambrose is one of my favorite celebrity stylist. Her work has been featured in countless magazines, music videos, and movies. She has also worked with celebrities like Janet Jackson and Beyonce’s freakum dress zipper.

Ambrose hosted a party along with Diddy last night for her book “Effortless Style.” I can’t wait to see what she has to say about upcoming trends. Lorriane Gibson, Stephon Marbury, Melyssa Ford, Pras and (gasp) Perez Hilton were a few of the familiar faces that attended.

Rumor Control: Is Al Trying To Help Star Get A Job At BET?

Rumor Control: Is Al Trying To Help Star Get A Job At BET?



Star Jones and hubby Al Reynolds were back from their European vacation for only a couple of hours last week when Reynolds left his wife at home to hit the clubs with the guys.

He arrived at Lotus with three young men “in tight pants” and a woman and partied for a few hours before going home to Jones.

But a pal of Reynolds says he may have just been trying to help his underemployed spouse get a job, telling us: “Al went out with the new female host of ‘106th and Park’ and a group of executives from BET.” (source)

I know this is one hell of a stretch but how dope would it be to watch Star Jones interview people like Jim Jones on the 106 & Park couch? Come on now, you know the ratings on the programming would increase because people (such as myself) would tune in just to watch her say shit like “Coming in at the top spot once again is Young Dro with ‘Shoulder Lean.’ What it do Dro? My boy got a boyfriend! “

Or Al could stop by the show once a week and give the latest scoop on celebrity gossip while wearing his now famous Ms. New Booty hot pants. Work with me people!

Fit For A King

This past weekend BV’s Karu Daniels attended “An Evening With New Edition” and snapped the following picture. Johnny Gill was presented a crown of all things [1] by a fan, which he happily accepted. Meanwhile, Bobby played the back with an interesting look on his face.

[1] Pink lace thong and garter belt set, fine. Crown? Eh.

While you are over at BV please be sure to check out the Celebrity Look-Alike gallery. There are some great comparisons between the celebs and ordinary people.

Tracee Ellis Ross & Evan Ross @ The HBO Emmy After Party

Tracee Ellis Ross & Evan Ross @ The HBO Emmy After Party

There is something very strange going on with about Evan Ross. I can’t quite put my finger on it but he looks totally different than he did in ‘ATL’. He almost looks like . . . Michael Jackson? Tracee looks great as usual but she better watch out for her little brother. He looks like he is going to break lose and start scurrying around the floor.

Kimora And Crew ‘Too Ghetto’

Posted by Fresh on August 29, 2006

Kimora And Crew ‘Too Ghetto’

I can only speak for myself but when I think about Kimora and her entourage, zesty men servants are the first thing that enter my mind not her being ghetto. Thanks Bitch Please (love that name by the way).


Just because you’re in Kimora Lee Simmons’ posse doesn’t mean you can enter Unik Ernest’s P.M. Lounge at will. Several members of the Baby Phat founder’s entourage were deemed “too urban” Thursday night to be allowed into the Meatpacking District boite, which has the atmosphere of a mid-century Haitian gentleman’s club. While Simmons, execs from her clothing line and a roster of “Baby Phat girls” were ushered into the party for company ad director B.J. Coleman, rapper types were blocked, says the source.

“There was definitely drama at the door,” one guest tells us.

“They kept saying we were too ghetto,” says our source. “They were rude - they even called one guy a ‘big fat [homophobic epithet].’” Words - including the N-word - were exchanged, claims our earwitness, and “Kimora was horrified.”

Unik told us: “I am black, and I never use that word. And my host is gay - we don’t use that word, either. I didn’t hear my staff use them - anyone in the crowd could have shouted it out. But give your source my cell number, and I will line up everyone who worked that night, and if they can identify him, he will be fired on the spot. Not tomorrow, not the next day, on the spot.” (continue)

Mama Tina Don’t Play That Shit

Mama Tina Don’t Play That Shit

It’s been about a week since Beyonce has been posted on this site. I’m happy to report that the Earth didn’t come to a complete and sudden halt during that time period.

According to the Hot 97 jocks, Friday Miss Jones and Mama Tina had an altercation which has resulted in Jonesy getting suspended. Apparently Tina let Miss Jones know that she didn’t appreciate being talked about everyday on air. Miss Jones replied back that “actually you should thank MAC make-up for hiding all of that oldness you have on your face. Now you look like the joker.”

Wow. Can’t we all get along? “Black people need to stick together and stop bringing each other down!” [sarcasm] I swear I have heard this shit since the inception of this site.

Anyway, Hip and Pop has an audio recap given by the folks at Hot 97 who were around when things turned ugly. Check it out. Meet me in the wig crypt, it’s goin’ down. Meet me at Shot 97, it’s goin’ down. And let’s be clear, I ain’t trying to deal with all that crazy shit today just because this is a Beyonce related post.

A Closer Look: Tyra Banks @ The Emmy’s

A Closer Look: Tyra Banks @ The Emmy’s

As many of you may have already noticed Tyra had a little bit of a wig malfunction at last night’s award ceremony. I still don’t understand why her (or her hair stylist’s) application skills have not improved. She’s been wearing them for a while now! I’m just saying.

Here’s what the ladies over at Go Fug Yourself had to say. Their comments had me rolling:

See, I LOVE wigs. I am a huge fan of wigs! When I’m an old lady, I plan to wear a rotating series of wigs: platinum blonde for Monday bingo nights; long, dark and curly for Tuesday’s dialysis appointment; short and red and flippy like Ginger from Gilligan’s Island for Wednesday night’s cocktails at the Assisted Living Centre with my girls; a giant Afro for Thursdays, when the pool boy comes. Et cetera. And let’s face it: you’re a babe. However, you’re also a babe who’s got loads of cash and more contacts in the hair-and-makeup world than the rest of us would make in twenty lifetimes. So why aren’t the edges of your wig EVER EVER EVER properly blended into your forehead? It’s not like you don’t have the acreage up there, and we know you know that.

This Is The Remix

This Is The Remix

I know I have called Danity Kane fruit bats in the past but I actually don’t think they are that bad. All of their sessions with Betty Wright (and her magical beret) have paid off. They sound light years better than that other child. The girls’ self-titled debut album has been flying off shelves! Good for them.

This past Friday they stopped by 106 & Park to drop off the remix to “Show Stopper” featuring Diddy and Yung Cock.
