It's Been Confirmed

After months of speculation Kimora Lee and Djimon Honsou’s is indeed pregnant. Reported in Us Weekly. Sources tell that she’s 4 months pregnant. But this time around it’s a difficult pregnancy. Even though it’s her third one, she’s still insecure about the pregnancy weight–which is why she’s been hiding out and covering up her belly. Congrats for KIKI.

Happy B'day Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Run DMC Finally Get's In

The Rock-N-Roll hall of fame just release this years inductees and on the list is Run DMC. Only to be the second hip-hop group to be inducted, along with Metallica, Bobby Womack, Jeff Beck and more. This year's ceremony will be held April 4th in Cleveland, where the actual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is based. It will be the first time the ceremony won't be at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel in Manhattan since 1997. It will also mark the first time tickets will be available to the public, rather than well-connected music industry insiders. Boy, this recession is giving us access to anything money can buy.

Jordan Nike 09 Unveiled

Michael Jordan surprised the audience during Jordan Brands unveiling of the the next Air Jordan legacy sneaker, the Air Jordan 2009. Since retiring the first and second time from the game, the number 23 is still the number Michael Jordan is known by. For that reason moving forward, Jordan Legacy sneakers will be named after the year. The sneakers will be available in stores on February 14th for $190. But, a special edition of the Air Jordan 2009 will release on January 31st for $230 a pop.

Also, on hand for the announcement was Paralympian April Holmes who is the first female athlete on the Team Jordan roster. For those who don’t know April Holmes, she owns the world records (women’s T44 classification) in the 100m, 200m and 400m dashes, and her many accomplishments have earned her the title of “world’s fastest amputee.”

LeBron Does GQ

Our favorite B-Baller will be on the cover of the February issue of GQ. Looking very sharp, much better from his Vogue cover with model Gisele Bundchen. Although James made history with landing the cover being the first black man to grace the magazine, his image stirred up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist. It does look a little King Kong-ish.

Rumor also has it, that James is about to drop a new rap single coming out on Roc-A-Fella records. (Yeah, please stop laughing)

Nas and Kelis Are Expecting!

Rumor is Nas, 35, and Kelis, 29 are expecting their first child together, despite rumors of having a troubled marriage. Perez Hilton and Us Weekly are reporting that the couple have yet to confirm the sex or the exact date of the baby’s arrival.

If the pregnancy rumors are true, this will be Nas’ second child. He already has a ten year old daughter named Destiny. But it’s the first for Kelis. The couple tied the knot in a small ceremony in Atlanta in January 2005.

What's Your Take: Teairra Mari in LV

At the Notorious movie screening Teairra Mari showed up rocking the “special edition” Louis Vuitton, from head to toe. Although, this is LV over kill, what's your take on the pieces individually?

I love the Bag (can't go wrong with a speedy), Shirt and Scarf. But, not all three together. And I don't know how I feel about "special editions", I mean they are so dated and when you spend that kind of money I need "Timeless Classic".

Finally- TopShop is Coming to America

The high-street Brit retailer TopShop is finally coming to NY in the Soho district. (TopShop’s US online store became available last year). TopShop is often compared to H&M, Zara, & Forever 21, the U.S. pricing is more along the lines of Urban Outfitters. TopShop will open in time to debut it’s Spring collection. The sunny pieces feel retro Americana: fringe jackets and scarves, washed denim bodysuits with a casual, cool blue button-up thrown over it, or the perfect plaid shirt knotted and tucked into high waisted shorts. At the same time, there's still plenty of the undeniably British looks we know and love: Union Jack blazers, big and bright floral, and snug motorcycle jackets. It looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship between us and our across-the-pond neighbor. Visit TopShop's online store at http://www.topshopus.com/

Sheree Whitfield Drops Divorce Appeal

‘Real Housewives’ Sheree Whitfield and her attorneys have dropped a divorce appeal after coming to the conclusion that her cross eyed ex-husband, Bob Whitfield really is broke. According to Sheree’s attorney, the former NFL player hasn’t paid child support in 15 months and still owes Sheree $350,000. In their 2005 divorce trial, a Fulton county judge awarded Sheree custody of the couple’s two children, $2,142 a month in child support, a lump sum payment of $775,000 in cash and shares of four NFL retirement accounts. To date, Whitfield has paid $425,000 of the $775,000 owed. Rumor is Sheree quickly ran through that money and found she could not maintain the lifestyle she felt she deserved on just $2,142 a month. Sheree and her attorneys dropped the appeal now that Whitfield's mansion is in foreclosure and scheduled to be sold on the courthouse steps. So the question remains, will Sh!t by Sheree really show at fashion week?!

The show has the same angle as "Flavor of Love" , "I Love New York" and "Real Chance at Love".

“The fashion is just unbelievable [on Gossip Girl],” the 21-year-old actress tells Vogue. “You can watch our show on mute and be entertained.”

2009's Shooting Star Designers

There's no doubt about it, it's a stressful time to be a new store, a new site, and definitely a new designer. But for some young designers, this tough and ultra-critical environment will surely separate the strong from the weak. And after all is said and done a few new names will still make some buzz this year. Here are our picks for the top three designers you should be thrilled about.

Rad Hourani
Who He Is: A Canadian-born stylist-turned-designer with just three collections underneath his belt and a killer video for Mode Models that sky-rocketed him to cult-like status within the fashion elite.

Why He's Hot: Already garnering comparisons to Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester, Hourani turned out an epic all-black third collection, proving that, though Canadian, New York might be where his heart is. Angular, sleek, intense, and did we mention unisex? These clothes prove that no matter what the season, true style (and solid talent) is timeless.

Frank Tell
Who He Is: A Spanish designer who is BFFs and studio-mates with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and downtown "It" chick Pamela Love.

Why He's Hot: Sure, having friends in high places can't hurt, but it's his clothes—expertly tailored, daringly executed—that will propel him to cream-of-the-crop status this year. His spring '09 collection, a dazzling array of tulle and pleated cocktail frocks in a minimalist reduction of blacks and blues, held all the promise of a young Giles Deacon with the cool-girl turn-out (Leigh Lezark, Julia Reston-Roitfeld) of a Ben Cho show. Will 2009 be the Year for Frank? Time will tell.

Yeojin Bae
Who She Is: Australian-based designer named One to Watch by UK Sunday Times and Marie Claire, among others.

Why She's Hot: If a Target collaboration is a sure-fire indicator of success, then Bae is already headed for the big-time. Her capsule collection for the retail giant may not be available in the States, but we have a feeling Bae's main line, a feminine and delicate collection of separates and frocks, will be making major waves across the pond this year. Carried at Barneys and featured in Harper's Bazaar, we figure it's only a matter of time before it's worn by Park Avenue socialites and downtown tastemakers alike.

Will the Real Ballers Please Stand?

And then there were two, reported from New York Magazine our favorite high-end couple David and Posh Beckham leaves us wishing we were them. Apparently, David gave Posh a new Birkin costing a whopping $122,000.00! There were only three made in the world of this Hermes Himalayan croc birkin with diamonds in 30cm masterpiece.

The Rachel Zoe 'I Die.....Bananas' Tee

Art director Chris Sauvé designed a T-shirt that pays homage to Rachel Zoe and her catch phrases "I Die" and "Bananas".


The shirts can be pre-ordered by contacting CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVE at 917-815-9440, or by emailing at csauve@gmail.com

Matthew Williamson for H&M

Rumor has it Matthew Williamson is shooting a campaign for his H&M line, which launches this May. Williamson will also be opening his first flagship store in this country in New York's meat packing district. H&M leaked the above snapshot of Williamson with the line. They're a bit fuzzy, but it's a preview nonetheless!

Fergie & Josh Tie The Knot

Fergie (real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson), 33, and Josh Duhamel actor, 36, were married on Saturday, January 10 at the Church Estate Vineyards in Malibu, California. According to People, Fergie wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown and carried a bouquet of white flowers studded with crystals as the couple exchanged H. Stern rings engraved with personal messages.
