Mama ‘Retha Preserves Her Sexy+YBF Celebs Party It Up With The Giants+Fashion Week Fab


Aretha Franklin is telling folks about her new weightloss, her new diet, and how it’s making her feel and changing her life. Get it ‘Retha.

Despite what other sites have been reporting, it is indeed true that 50 Cent’s G-Unit Clothing is closing up shop. One of the G-Unit clothing retailers sent over this statement this morning:
“As the leading online retailer of street fashion, DrJays.com is privy to information pertaining to the brands we sell. During the past month, significant staff within G-Unit Clothing’s senior management, marketing, design and sales teams were fired. Yesterday we were informed the brand’s operations were coming to a final close on Friday.
“In response to recent comments this ‘rumor’, as it was branded, is trying to ‘bring another successful Black man down’, DrJays.com has sold G-Unit Clothing on our site since its inception in 2004, and as with all of our brands, we’ve continued to be steadfast supporters. As the brand dissolves its partnership with Marc Ecko Enterprises, we’ll keep track of relevant updates.”
Basically the company is shutting down all operations tomorrow. Whether or not the brand is re-developed over time is another story.
The Giants and friends partied it up to celebrate their Superbowl victory this week at Tenjune:


Mike Strahan and his BFF Dr. Ian were there of course.

So was Dr. Ian’s brother Dana.

Mike Epps came out with Easy Mo Bee.

Trey Songz made an appearance.


Y’all know Biz Markie was there.

Alesha Renee rocked a cute look.
Hip Hop was definitely in the building:

Kurtis Blow, Luv Bug Starsky and Grandmaster Caz all made an appearance.

So did Prodigy–who will be shipping off to a jail cell soon.



The Lollipop Guild of Nelly and JD came through. Gotta love em though.

And Mele Mel, Sway, Mike, and Damien Fahey kicked it.
Egypt and cutie Kerry Rhodes came out:




Oh Raz B.


And D. Woods and Aubrey kicked it with Evan Ross.

Fun times.
And over at Bryant Park:

Veronica Webb hit up the Isaac Mizrahi show.
Joy Bryant and and J-Lo did Marchesa:

Nice.

Joy also hit up Michael Kors.
YBF chick Sherri Saum was spotted front row at the Vivienne Tam show:



I actually really like her hair.


Photog: D. Arnoult
Socialite Genevieve Jones was there too.
Stay fab!

So the Rocsi/Terrence 106 & Park walk-off-the-set-drama is over. Or is it? Rocsi's people say things were blown out of proportion. But viewers think there's more to the story.

Sherri got too much hair for that tiny body. It weighs more than she does. Can she get on the list for a sandwich as well? Maybe she and Thandie can split a Subway or something.

Veronica Webb, why? Joy Bryant, I just don’t get it, and the socialite chick is starving for some attention, and just like Halle you look tired Jennifer sit down and rest up!

50 needs a new publicist, he’s always in the news for all the wrong reasons. Clothing line folding, associating with Paris Hilton, using steroids, beefing with his own artist and it’s only Feb. Sit down.

What is really going on with this Genevieve Jones person? An emaciated hot mess from head to toe.

Michael Strahan is the most popular man in New York right now.

Well, I googled Genevieve Jones. She is dead broke and she lives off designers’ sample and her ex-boyfriend’s money. I would call Kim Porter w/o the kids. The WSJ wrote a story about her a few years ago and blew her cover about coming from money. She has no education or job. She just look fab at parties wearing clothes she borrowed from her designer friends.
