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.

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/
