fela1 Quick Flicks: The Carters & The Smiths Continue To Support Fela

Photographed with director Bill T. Jones, the prom queen and king rubbed shoulders with the homecoming queen and king of the school from across town at the post-theater reception of Fela! in New York City on Thursday night.

Produced by Jay-Z, Roots drummer Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson, Stephen Hendel, and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the hit broadway musical about Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti received 11 Tony Award nominations earlier this month. Now that’s something worth clinking your champagne flutes to.

Freeze Frame: Jermaine Dupri + Daughter Shaniah Spotted Going To Dinner In Los Angeles

jermaine dupri daughter shaniah Freeze Frame: Jermaine Dupri + Daughter Shaniah Spotted Going To Dinner In Los Angeles

After waking up out my self inflicted diabetic coma I had to follow up to that last depressing entry with a positive example of parenting. I still mean what I said about Ricky Martin, though.

Jermaine Dupri’s daughter Shaniah Mauldin is making me feel like a straight up old trout right about now. I remember when she was a cute little girl walking hand in hand with her daddy. She’s really blossoming into a pretty young lady. I’m interested in seeing what type of moves she makes in the years to come. Her family has an incredible work ethic out of this world, so I’m sure she is inspired in one way or another by that.

Jennifer Hudson flashed her smile and ring finger [I still can't with Punk] at photographers while departing from LAX on Tuesday. She has been announced as the first female voice behind “One Shining Moment,” the song used as the theme for the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship. Good for her!

No Shade Zone: Solange Knowles

solo cover No Shade Zone: Solange Knowles

The killer bees at my second home HoneyMag.com was able to snag Solange for her first photo shoot  post-big chop to talk about motherhood, dating rumors and upcoming album. Let basement baby be great.

Honey: Let’s just start with the question that’s on everyone’s minds: the big chop. We fell in love with the cut right away. We wanted to shoot you before the cut, but we were really excited when we saw it because we could really get fashion-y.

I guess you just go through different phases in your life. I was pretty much at the point where I needed the change and I needed to focus my energy on more productive arenas. I was putting too much into my appearance and I needed to make this about growth and going to the next stage of my life. I felt like I was being distracted by something as simple as hair. I’ve always been really fearless about change. I’ve cut my hair the same way when I was 16 and again when I was 18. This was my third time.

That. Young. Stuff.

RC That. Young. Stuff.

The longer I maintain this website the more I realize that I am rapidly approaching my mid 20’s. It feels like it was only yesterday that I was washing the X’s off my hands in the club’s bathroom  to get my underage drink on but I digress.  Romeo Miller and Corde Broadus were among the younger faces at the UNCF  Tribute To Lionel Richie event on Saturday. Master P and Snoop Dogg may have questionable skills when it comes to rhyming but their sperm have produced two handsome young men that I wouldn’t mind having in my stable one day.

Lil’ Mama take note, this is how a well behaved young man conducts himself in public. More flicks of Romeo after the jump.

No Hate Today: Solange, Front Row Creole

solange fashion No Hate Today: Solange, Front Row Creole

According to Wikipedia, Solange is a French name taken from Saint Solange, who is a locally-venerated Christian Saint. The saint was the patron of the traditional Province of Berry. Fast forward to modern days and Solange Knowles is fucking royalty.

In France of course.

Here is the wig crypt’s holiness at the BCBG Max Azria show in New York City on Wednesday night. Sporting her shortly cropped cute cut, she posed for pictures with some of the show goers, including that chick that threw shade at her sister earlier this year in a “track that wasn’t supposed to be released.” Looking fresh faced and happy, Solange is set to take the world by storm. If she can just log off of Twitter. Watch out now!

Day Late, Dollar Short

If you think magical camels didn’t exist, guess again. In a new Rhapsody commercial, Jay-Z recreates all of his solo album covers faster than a speeding creole. The desert-roaming Ungulate appears to be gearing up for a big push for his already leaked Blueprint 3 album. So gather up your pennies and sell your old lace fronts on eBay to purchase his new LP cause maintaining a household that buys tons of lip balm and Zattarian’s by the truckload ain’t cheap.
