Lauren London Goes Shopping+J-Lo & Barack Do Bazaar & Mike Is Still Banking With Nike

YBF chick Lauren London stopped by Travis Barker’s ”The Fast Life” boutique yesterday to pick up some goodies:

Makeupless and still fab. 

Jenny’s rocking the cover of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar:

She’s wondering why everybody was surprised when she finally admitted she’s pregnant. 

And Barack O. is also in the mag since they’re doing a feature on the fashion of politics. Fab.

And a lil something for my fellas:

Michael Jordan just announced his new shoe, the AIR JORDAN XX3.  It is the first ever sustainable (green) basketball shoe from the Jordan Brand with Nike. Nice.

    Lauren is sooo Fab. Michael can make Jordan’s til he is underground and they would sell because of the stamp he put on the game. Flawless

    Is J-Lo kidding? If she thought “everybody knew anyway” b/c of her being “on tour with a bubble gut,” then why did she take so long to confirm “everybody[’s]” thoughts? These celebrities need to give me a break with their spin and denials.

    Lauren is a very pretty young lady; she’s refreshing…
    Those Js are nice, I just wonder what size is that one in the picture. Sometimes Jordans look hot as a size 7.5 and under, and just look a mess on people (especially girls) with huge feet. Cool kicks though, yall like it I love it.

    Instead of a Basketball shoe, how about a loafer from M.J. - since he not playing anymore

    Lauren London is gorgeous. Congratulations to JLo for admitting she is pregnant but she gets a BIG BOO for milking it for all it’s worth. I never saw the fascination with Jordans. People in the slums robbing, stealing, and pretty much not paying rent or buying books, just so they can buy a pair of $150+ pair of Jordans???? I hate to see a child with a dirty face and clothes without a backpack in sight, walking to school with a pair of new Jordans.

    Also what is he doing for inner city children?? What programs does he have?? Do the shoes come with information about what “give back to the community” projects he has coming up? Better yet, does a percentage of the profit from those overpriced shoes go to A Third World country or benefit the child welfare system in the good ol USA???

    J.Lo no one was surprised, we just wanted to know why you didn’t say u preggo when it was clear that you are. No one really cares about you being preggo, it is just something to talk about on a slow day. Is it me or has the entertainment world slowed down alot?

    Barack Obama looks good in that photo.
    Michael Jordan still makes me smile *sigh*. I remember back in the day when people were literally KILLING people for their Jordans. I had a friend who sent her son out to play one day in his and a bigger boy took his shoes off his feet and sent him home crying!

    I’m not sure about Steve Harvey he goes around looking like an old pimp sometimes. But it is pleasant to see blacks dressed up in formal wear men and women. We should bring it back to the days when everyone put on suits just to leave the house.

    I think Lauren is so cute she has a good girl look but I’m sure she is different behind closed doors!!(lol) Obama is a handsome man it would be real nice to have him in the White House!!! J-lo has got to be kidding she has been showing for months now!! she should be due soon? celebs kill me when they try to keep things hush hush knowing we can read between the lines the whole time!!! Micheal Jordan he is fine as wine, he reminds me of that uncle you have in your family that always smells nice, dresses nice & always gives you money when you ask, hell I wish he was my uncle (lol) anyway he really need to quit with these shoes cause I’m quite sure they will be close to 200 & thats ridiculous these are the same shoes our youngins are killing one another for, robbing you for & all that!! I love him, I love the shoes but he should at least make them affordable for our youth cause they are the ones making him rich!!!!!

    Well let’s see, I am a mentor with my local school system, I donate to various charities (my mother is in a Rotary which sponsors alot of programs that I support with monetary contributions), and also since I am a recent graduate trying to start on a career I am preparing myself to make changes where I see change needs to be made. Now KARA (since you felt to put my name in caps)WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? I am not telling celebrities how to spend their money what I am saying is do you really need to put out another overpriced sneaker, clothing line, etc. for struggling idiots to waste money on??? If you didn’t understand what I was trying to point out in my first posts maybe you should read it again before you start typing in caps and quoting Ghandi.

    You can’t get mad at the capitalist society we live in. You are a part of it, you contribute to it, and you reap the benefits of one. Why are you picking and choosing what cause someone else takes up? He is a business man and whatever he chooses to contribute or not, should be up to him. He shouldn’t do it to prove anything to people anyway. Fall back from all the celeb watching and keep doing your ‘meager’ contributions, I am sure they are appreciated.

    The picture of Barack was trying to make a point about fashion and politics. Barack’s wife is fab but she doesn’t represent fashion. I’m not saying a white model does either, but a model does… Its funny how people immediately see color rather than just a great picture.

    Mike and Juanita Jordan do quite a bit for inner city children, especially here, in Chicago. He and Juanita have and still support the best all male high school, which educates a predominantly black student population. In addition, their eldest son plays for a local university here, UIUC - to which they have provided lots of support. UIUC also happens to educate a large number of inner city (Chicago) students. SO, the $ he makes from his shoe contracts and other endorsements are supporting those who are needy and in the right causes. Please do some research on celebs, athlete’s or whomever you feel the need to hate on b4 subjecting he rest of us readers to your “hater” comments.

    Love his wife too… she got “first lady” written all over her. Very fab. She’s undoing all that Condi Rice has messed up, fashion-wise.
    Lauren Londen is GORGEOUS! You can’t fake that kind of prettiness. Her career’s picking up, happy for her:)

    Yeah, I’ve never understood the hype of the overpriced MJs. I’d rather support athletes like Venus and Stephon (sp?) who make affordable and good quality shoes and it’s not because I can’t afford it. There’s so many other things I could think of to do with basically $200. But hey, that’s just me.

    Okay?! LMAO. If somebody pays more than that for a knockoff, that’s just plain crazy! I just bought TWO Coach purses (came with papers, tags, and all) on ebay and I paid a total of $350 and that’s still less than the retail price of one of the purses!
