Remove Russell out of the paint, B.

Solange made a bold entrance (and maybe made a subtle shout out to one month niece, Blue) while arriving at the Runway to Win fundraiser for President Obama on Tuesday night (February 7) in a show stopping abstract patterned blue gown from the Vera Wang Spring 2012 collection.

“Vera Wang is a true artist,” wrote Solange in a post on her damn blog that has since been removed. “I feel so lucky to be her canvas, if just for this night.”

Basement Baby better werk! More flicks from the catwalk / sidewalk below:

Mr. Steal Your Girl grabbed lunch (and later a parking ticket) with her mom in Los Angeles earlier this week. More pictures of celebrities out and about after the jump.

Seal served face and intergalactic peen tease while making his way through LAX this week. We see you plotting to get that old thing back, Tyra.

Paula Patton keeps a low profile while jogging. The actress is set to be honored at the 5th annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon next month.

Auntie Basement Baby was photographed outside the launch of Tiffany’s True Love In Pictures with the Sartorialist Scott Schuman and Garance Dore in New York City on Wednesday (January 25).

“No man can turn down this pussy!” Grace Jones couldn’t keep her little model hands off designer Jean Paul Gaulthier on Thursday (January 26) night.

T.I. and wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris promote their VH1 reality series on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show.’ Get into it.

Chris Tucker shared memories of Michael Jackson on Thursday (January 26) at the ceremony immortalizing the late pop singer’s glove and shoe prints in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Quick Flicks: Inside Solange’s Parisian Summer

The guardian of the Knowles Family’s glowsticks shared pictures snapped during down time in Paris featuring The Artist Formerly Known As Baby Daniel son Juelz and her video director beau Alan Ferguson on her damn blog this week, also writing:

I SPENT A MONTH IN PARIS THIS PAST SUMMER WITH JULEZ AND ALAN.

I HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME THERE OVER THE YEARS…

BUT NOT EVER UNTIL I REALLY “IMMERSED” MY SELF THERE, DID I REALLY FALL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THE CITY.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVING.

GOING IN THE MORNING FOR BREAD, HANGING LAUNDRY ON THE CLOSE LINE IN THE SHOWER, JULEZ NEGOTIATING THE COST OF GETTING MY HAIR BRAIDED BY LOCALS, (HIS FRENCH SAVED US IN MANY INSTANCES SUCH AS THESE) BUYING THE FRENCH BOOTLEG “CARS 2” DVD IN THE METRO STATION….(ONLY TO ARRIVE HOME TO ARRIVE TO THE CARS -2 BLANK VERSION).

WE RENTED A SMALL CHARMING APARTMENT IN THE 10TH…. AND ATE AND DRANK OUR WAY THROUGH BEAUTIFUL, MEMORABLE DAYS.

I WAS READING ZELDA FITZGERALD’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY AT THE TIME, AND SPENT HOURS DAY DREAMING ABOUT HER VIVID LIFE IN FRANCE.

I WILL ALSO FOREVER CHERISH THIS TIME, AS I GOT TO SPEND MANY WONDERFUL TIMES WITH MY SWEET FRIEND MEHDI.

HIS SPIRIT WILL FOREVER REFLECT ON MY TIME IN PARIS…IN THE PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE.

It’s always good to get away!

Solange And Her Infinite Playlist Take Miami

Fresh — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:13:40 +0000

Each time Solange pops up behind a DJ booth somewhere all I can do is think about Bernie Mac’s character in Player’s Club screaming “Blue, all you do is spin records!” to Jamie Foxx. And then I fall out Tickle Me Elmo style for about a good five minutes.

Be that as it may, it would make more sense for Basement Baby to appear as a judge on BET’s Master of the Mix reality competition show versus “lifestyle expert” Amber Rose. See, being unceremoniously banned from attending Beyonce’s bi-monthly low country crawfish boil didn’t just affect Mathew Knowles. That shit ain’t right.

Watch This: Chromeo & Solange Visit Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Fresh — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:48:58 +0000

Take a wild guess at who benefited the most from Michael Philip Thomas’ yard sale last month. Backed by a trio of Robert Palmer-esque vocalists Solange and Chromeo hit a sultry note on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon with “When The Night Falls” last night. Peep their performance of the Business Casual cut after the jump.

Candids: Back At Cha, Mama Tina.

Mama Tina put her best Nahla Aubrey paparazzi stank face forward while out for a stroll with glowstick seed Solange in Tribeca (the same neighborhood where the most valuable prize to ever slide out of her vagina resides) on Sunday.

Suitcase in tow, Solo’s boo thing Alan Ferguson was also spotted on the afternoon adventure. Ka-yute couple.

No shade today: Mama Tina looks fantastic. There’s not one crease in that roots box. And Mathew had the audacity to skip out on this plate of smothered ox tails for a McDonald’s snack wrap. Ch . . .

How Dreadful: Miami PD Doesn’t See It For Solange And The Feeling Is Mutual

Fresh — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 22:45:31 +0000

Bearing the precious fruit that will one day reign over the yaki kingdom doesn’t mean a thing to the Miami Police Department apparently. Venting out of frustration from The Man and his bullshit Solange retreated to her Twitter this morning to slam naughty police officers who abuse their power.

“A police officer just pulled a weapon on me . . . I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort. I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as an offense,” she explained. “I’m only tweeting this to raise awareness. I could have left quietly, but I am sick & tired of this scenario being played over & over again.”

“It is time to do something about it. I am a mother raising a young black child in America. I’m going to die trying! Been on the phone for the last 20 minutes reporting this incident. Yes, I have the officers name. Yes, I have the location. Scare tactics don’t WORK,” she concluded.

The revolution may not be televised but it will be made available on social networking sites.

Star Tracks: Solange, Juelz, June Ambrose, Usher, Mario Lopez and Terrell Owens

The sole heir to the wig crypt dynasty Juelz served as mom Solange’s date at the INC International Concepts at Macy’s press preview at Openhouse Gallery on Wednesday night in New York City.

Also in the house was stylist June Ambrose keeping it funky as usual. Have you tried out the turban trend for yourself this summer?

Photographers caught up with Usher outside of his New York City hotel earlier this week. Right click save, House Mother Al Reynolds.

Terrell Owens held back his slave tears long enough to conduct an interview with Mario Lopez. I know I can’t be the only person out there who laughs when that commercial for the upcoming season of The T.O. Show comes on!

Style Jury: Solange

Fresh — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 21:26:14 +0000

Following the style index for hipster summer Solange (sans “Queen of the Pack” braids) hit the Block Party by Bean Pole event at the Opening Ceremony store in New York City yesterday dressed for the occasion.

Now, be cautious before attempting to try this look at home. This viewer’s choice wig crypt runner style works for her but I’m not so sure how it would go over with the masses. I would hate to see my loved ones on The People of Walmart dusty and defeated.

WHAT’S YOUR VERDICT?
