Event Fab

Lots of events have been going down all over the country this week: Dawn of Danity Kane hit the Hennessy Artistry finale event last night in the NYC to catch Ne-Yo and Leona Lewis perform.  I wonder how that went since her former group mate Aubrey was also in the building. Day 26 hit the carpet as well.  No breakups there. Dennis Rodman decided to hand out money and give people personal bailouts I guess. Usher, Forest Whitaker, and Earl Best hit up the GQ Gentlemen's Ball in the NYC. And Shar Jackson brought the foolishness to LA Fashion Week events yesterday.  Girl stop. Lots more pics of these folks and others when you read the rest...

The 2008 Spirit Of Life Awards

Lots of YBF celebs hit up the 2008 Spirit of Life Awards in Santa Monica last night: A fabulous looking Rihanna and her former boss Jay-Z made an appearance.  I guess this was one of Jay's stops before his own concert in Hollywood last night. The Cannons were on hand as Mariah was there to perform. Why does Nick always look like his wife just ordered him to come take the picture and he has no clue WTF is going on? Keyshia Cole and Erykah Badu performed as well. And Toni Braxton hit the red carpet looking 21 and not 41.  Hate her. Lots more pics when you read the rest...

Raven Symone Pops Off On The Rumors+Lupe Fiasco Designs For Converse

Well it looks like little Miss Raven Symone is hot and pissy thanks to rumorville. She's screaming--the all caps damn near blinded me trying to read this ish--on her official myspace blog about the recent rumors about her. And she shuts them down and talks about the rumors of her being engaged, her weight, being a lesbian, and not having any friends. Oh, but her boyfriend did cheat on her possibly causing her to overeat. Her words, not mine. Check it:
OK, IM SO OVER IT! REALLY AND TRUELY.... OK LETS NIP THE RUMERS IN THE BUDDDD.... RIGHT NOW... 1) THE CHEETAH GIRLS: I AM NOT IN THE CHEETAH GIRLS!!!!! I WAS NEVER APART OF THE MUSIC GROUP... I AM NOT APART OF THE CHEETAH GIRLS FOR 1 REASON AND ONE REASON ALONE.....I DO NOT WANT TO CONFUSE MY SUPPORTERS IN THE TOURING ASPECT OF MY LIFE! OUR MUSIC IS DIFFERENT, AND I LIKE BEING A SOLO ARTIST. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME AND THE GIRLS IS PURLY WORK. WE HAVE OUR OWN LIVES, AND I SUPPORT ANY WORK CHOICES THAT THEY WANT TO BE APART OF. AND YOU DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BFF WITH SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE U WORK WITH THEM. THAT BEING SAID, GO CHEETAHS!GET THAT PAPER... 2) RELATIONSHIPS: I AM NOT NOW AND WAS NEVER ENGAGED, OR IN A LOVE TRIANGLE WITH ANYONE IN THE INDUSTRY. YES I HAVE DATED PLENTY OF PEOPLE, IM NOT A NEWT, HOWEVER, I NEVER TELL. THE RINGS THAT I WEAR ON MY "RING FINGERS" ARE A GIFT TO MYSELF WHEN THATS SO RAVEN HIT 400 MILLION VIEWERS. I THINK THAT IS WELL DESERVED. MEDIA TAKE OUT IS FUNNY, THEY GET THEIR INFO LIKE THE TELEPHONE GAME.... SOMEONE TELLS THE TRUTH, AND BY THE TIME THE STORY IS TOLD TO THEM, JUST THE NAMES HAVE STAYED THE SAME, BUT THE STORY IS MUCH JUICIER. AND NOT TRUE 3) ME DATING A GIRL: EVEN THO I ADORE MY GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY!!!!!! I HANG AND CHILL WITH THEM, AND ADMIRE THEIR FIERCE-NESS. AND LEARN FROM THEM EVERYDAY. I HAVE THIS TO SAY... 1) ITS FALSE THAT IM DATING A GIRL RIGHT NOW. 2)RUDE TO QUESTION SOMETHING SO PERSONAL. WE ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS FOR THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY. ITS NOT A FAD FOR THEM, ITS NOT THE NEXT COOL BAG FOR THEM, ITS WHO THEY ARE, AND I THINK THAT FALSLY ACCUSING SOMEONE, WATERS DOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTUALLY SAYING YES TO GAY WEDLOCK, AND OTHER RIGHTS FOR THAT MOST AMAZING COMMUNITY. 4) MY BODY: I WAS BORN WITH MESSED UP EYE BROWS, LOOK AT THE COSBY SHOW THEY GROW UPSIDE DOWN AND ON THE WRONG EYE. THAT IS MY PARENTS DOING AND MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME ONES. IM SORRY IF I WANT TO GO OUT ONE DAY AND NOT FILL THEM IN. IM SURE OTHER PEOPLE DONT GO OUT ALL THE TIME WITH THEIR FACE BEAT (MAKE-UP TERM, FLAWLESS MAKE UP). MY BODY SIZE; OOOHHH MY GOD!!!! HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN... IV BEEN ON TV FOR 21 YEARS, AND IV ALWAYS BEEN THICK.....OK!!!! NOW IF ANYONE KNOWS MY FAMILY, ALL OF THE WOMEN EXCEPT FOR A FEW, STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING WHAT IS A SOCIALLY EXCEPT-ABLE WEIGHT. WHEN I STRESS I GAIN, WHEN IM HAPPY WHO KNOWS... I HAD A LOT OF PERSON THINGS HAPPEN TO ME AT THE END OF THE SHOW, DEALING WITH FAMILY, AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME AND I HAD TO BREAK UP WITH HIM (LISTEN TO LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, AND SECRETS) AND LIKE ANY FEMALE WITH A PROBLEM, DELT WITH IT A CERTAIN WAY! ID LOVE IF THE INDUSTRY COULD ONE DAY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBESITY AND FAT AND THICK AND THIN AND SICK. I AM A THICK GIRL, I HAVE NEVER BEEN OVER A SIZE 12, I CAN RUN, AND I TRY MY BEST TO EAT RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT THE TEXT BOOK WEIGHT THAT THEY SAY I SHOULD BE, BUT EVERYDAY I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL STRUGGLES, AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT THAT. ALL THAT BEING SAID. I HATE THE FACT THAT THIS DAY AND AGE, EVERYBODY THINKS THAT CELEBRITIES ARE FREE GAME, HUNTING SEASON IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ON UR RADIO, OR TV OR BIG SCREEN. AND IT DOESNT HELP WHEN SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WANT THAT, WONT SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. WELL, PUT UR SLF IN THIER AND MY SHOES.... TAKE YOUR RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AWAY, AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE SOME KIND OF OPINION ABOUT YOU! THATS WHY I DONT TELL MY BIZZNASS, AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN MY PERSONAL BIZZNASS, IM NOT NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU THE PLEASURE OF ASKING ME ANYTHING PERSONAL, AND THEN PEOPLE WONDER WHY I HAVE NO FRIENDS...... AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Meow. I can't help but love this chick though. More about Raven and Lupe Fiasco when you read the rest...

Afternoon Tidbits: Keyshia Cole's 27th Birthday Party, Danity Kane & Lisa Bonet & Fam

Keyshia Cole celebrated her 27th birthday at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills this week: Not sure if the bra was supposed to be out like that with the Herve Leger dress, but Key Key looks cute nonetheless. Aww look at Fierce Kitty Mama Frankie and her baby. Holla! Key Key's celeb friends Anthony Hamilton, Ne-Yo, and Tyrese came out to celebrate.  Fun times. And it seems like Lisa Bonet, her hubby Jason Mamoa, and baby Lola are always out and about strolling around the NYC these days: I know she can't wait till that delivery day.  Ish is looking painful.  Cute fam though. UPDATE: Lisa Bonet confirmed that she is now 7 months pregnant. So a new baby with a solar system like name I'm sure will be here soon. Pics from the "MTB4" finale when you read the rest...
