Party In The USA!

This week has been PARTY CENTRAL in the U.S, and as usual the celebritys have been out in their numbers to support eachother!



Fab celebrated his 32nd Birthday the other night at Hotel Rivington in NYC (Nov 18th). Although we don't really hear much from Fab over here in the U.K, a few heavy hittersturned up to support him at his party. Jay-Z, Diddy, Tyreese and Amber Rose were all in the building! C Lister Adrianne Bailon (formally of 3LW) also attended the event - A few months ago Adrienne was linked to Fab romantically, but she shut down the rumours real quick, saying that they were 'Only Friends'.....hmmm. Anyway it looked like a fun night! Do ya'll remember when Fab KEPT spelling his name out on records? F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S.... dude was definetly hooked on phonics...




British and X-Factor born star Leona Lewis was spotted along with industry friends, at her album launch party for 'ECHO'. The event was held at Hyde Lounge on Tuesday (Nov 17th) - Leona looked cute in her purple body con dress and corset styled belt... but I felt she cudda pulled a better outfit out the bag. Ciara on the other hand was KILLING it that night! She looked amazing in her little black dress with a pair of Maggie's by Christian Louboutin... GET EM CI CI! Eve also showed up to the event - I'm not sure what look she was going for but it gets a blank stare from me ---> :-|






GQ magazine recently honoured Drake, Wale and Kid Kudi in their latest 'MEN OF THE YEAR' issue! The 3 new comers were among some of the great honorees - including President Obama,Kobe Bryant and Clint Eastwood. The party was held at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood on Wednesday night (Nov 18th). Drizzy attended with his barbie label mate Nicki Minaj - the two clean up VERY well!! Now many of you know from my previous posts, that Drake is one of my FAVOURITE rappers. However ....ive never looked at him in a "he's sexy" type of way... But I MUST admit in that picture above he could get it on replay!!! The dapper/clean look is defo doing it for him.... and me lol

Interview Round Up!




Actor/Singer/Songwriter AND Comedian Jamie Foxx, recalls being drugged back in his college days, with hallucinogenic drug PCP! He explains despite making a full recovery, the Ray star suffered severe flashbacks for months, leaving him terrified and paranoid. and speaks about it in his latest interview!

“I was drinking whiskey and it didn’t taste funny, so I had no idea. It took about 15 minutes and I knew something was wrong. I said to my roommate, ‘Something is going on, and I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to ride it out.

“That was the last thing I said, and then I was almost in a coma and I couldn’t move, couldn’t talk, couldn’t even say, ‘Take me to a hospital.’ My friend could see something was badly wrong and he took me to the emergency room.

“(He) stayed with me. Then he took me back to the dorm and I was afraid of the dark and he would talk to me every night and calm me down and say stuff like, ‘You’re Ok, the demons aren’t real.’ He saved my life.”

It was only after the event that Foxx found out Pcp - a hallucinogenic which prevents the body and brain working in sync - stays in the body forever, and he still fears haunting flashbacks more than 20 years later.

He adds, “I read up on Pcp after it happened. It leaves a fingerprint and you can’t get it out of your system. It happened to me when I was 18 and I had 11-months of harsh flashbacks, and then when I was 26, and another when I was 32, and that was the last one. But I always worry about it coming back. You’re afraid of the dark, afraid of things you see on television, you feel that things are coming at you. I felt paranoid, and paranoia is craziness. It’s not good.”

DAMN. That drug really is not a joke, all of my party goers PLEAS PLEASE be careful when drinking!



Oprah has recently responded to Chris Brown comments in "People". He state that he felt kinda played when Oprah automatically took Rihanna's side. This is what Chris previously said:

“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”

And Oprah’s rep responded with:

Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”

Well....... Alright then!

Jay-Z recently sat down with Oprah for the new issue of 'O' magazine for an interview! The issue isn't out yet, but here are the highlights below:


On why he was the one from his neighbourhood to succeed

Oprah: Many of the little boys who grew up in the Marcy projects are either in jail or dead. Why do you think you got to grow up and buy your mom a house?

Jay-Z: There’s the gift, there’s the spirit, and there’s the work—all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.


On Using the 'N' word

Oprah:
When I met you a few years ago, we discussed our disagreement over the use of the N word and misogynist lyrics in rap music. Do you believe that using the N word is necessary?

Jay-Z: Nothing is necessary. It’s just become part of the way we communicate. My generation hasn’t had the same experience with that word that generations of people before us had. We weren’t so close to the pain. So in our way, we disarmed the word. We took the fire pin out of the grenade.


Jay-Z on the wedding

Oprah: Do you and BeyoncĂ© have a pact that you just won’t talk about each other?

Jay-Z: Yeah. When you’re a public person, you have to keep some things to yourself, or else people will just—

Oprah: Eat it up. I know. But can I ask how in the world you kept your wedding a secret?

Jay-Z: Late planning!

Oprah: How many people knew?

Jay-Z: Very few. The sad part is that we offended some. But people who love you understand. Because at the end of the day, it’s your day.

Oprah: So here we are, talking on a Sunday afternoon. If you weren’t sitting here with me, what would you be doing?

Jay-Z: I’m gonna get killed for this, but I’ll tell you anyway. There’s a great pizza spot we go to every Sunday. It’s our tradition. It’s a small place in Brooklyn

, you can bring your own wine, and there are candlesthere. It’s a nice date.

JAY is also in LONDON on the 17TH!!! MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR TICKETS FAST, OR FIND OUT MORE INFO!

Coupled up - Croatia Madness Update!

This week has been a crazy one for couples we love! Lets take a look at the ones who made the headlines...



Earlier this week, I'm sure most of you read about Jay & Bee enjoying some vacay time in Croatia! They were seen on a yacht enjoying themselves and taking a break from the usual. On Tuesday night, after leaving Gil's restaurant ; a trigger happy pap, over stepped his boundaries and tried to get into the boat with the couple!

Now Julius (Bee's bodyguard), and Jay weren't gonna have that! So they got into an altercation with the guy and ended up throwing his tripod into the river! (Watch the vid below)



*UPDATE*

According to YBF:
Julius Hollander, bodyguard to Beyonce and previous bodyguard to Jay-Z, was ordered to appear in Croatian court today. He was charged with several crimes by the Croatian cops thanks to that big scuffle with local paparazzi this week. Julius entered court today accompanied by his lawyer Denis Orlic, and interpreters. He spent about two hours in court, and received a guilty verdict for the disruption of public order and peace.

The cops had temporarily taken away Julius’ passport, but it was returned to him today. For his “punishment”, he was ordered to pay 554 kuna ($107 US), and the additional amount of 679 HRK ($131 US) for the costs of court proceedings. The court commented that this was a totally unnecessary incident which was caused by an arrogant bodyguard. But Julius escaped any harsh punishments with the small fines.


I hope the paps didn't think they were gonna get paid off the back of this? LMAO

[EXCLUSIVE Video Premiere] We Run This Town - Jay-Z ft/Rihanna & Kanye West

Run This Town - Jay-Z ft/ Rihanna & Kanye West



Shout out to Luv DC for leaking this video (it'll be out this week/next week anyway)! With all the previews of the song the final edit is here. I really love the song and how they deliver on it, the video matches the choon so im happy about that. Rihanna's swag is somehow lost in the video tho, she doesn't seem as cocky or edgy... and her lil dance moves are a lil off. I think she needed to put in alot of attitude of this song for it to work. Maybe they told her to tone it down? hmmmmmm

Anywho! Love the song, and the video compliments it well. Good job
