Head Over Heels

Apparently the Knowles clan is expanding HOD into a whole new kids line. It’s all kinds of wrong going on in this ad.  And I’m mainly talking about the clothes themselves.  And to think…after I saw the “Dereon Dancers” (real talk) at the Nets game last month, I thought the foolishness had peaked and would come to an end. Damn.

More foolishness when you read the rest…

Editor in Chief of KING Jermaine Hall (r) came out to party too.

So did Terrence J and Rocsi.

Charli Baltimore is good for making random once every blue moon appearances I see.

Lots more celeb pics when you read the rest…

Fader magazine is doing a tribute to Babygirl for their June ‘08 issue. The mag is presenting its Annual Icon Issue: A Tribute To The Influential Aaliyah, with contributions from producers, family, friends & peers. Here’s a few excerpts of what folks told the mag:

Missy Elliott

“We was gonna save the world. We was gonna change music every chance we got. We was gonna always be family. Forever.”

Mark Ronson

“If it wasn’t for Aaliyah being the face and voice of [Missy Elliott and Timbaland’s] sound they might have never got to where they did. They were presenting their sort of brilliant but challenging breakthrough music through this beautiful young girl who could sing it perfectly.”

Kidada Jones

“I think about her all the time…Anytime she’s brought up or her music comes on the radio, it’s sweet, but it definitely sounds like she found a niche before it was here. If you listen to her music it’s so relevant today, but we had it so long ago.”

Damon Dash

“She was already a fashion icon, she was getting into movies, she had already planted that seed. If she was alive today she would be so relevant. I see little bits of her everywhere I look, in a lot of artists.”

Jomo Hankerson

“I think a lot of that mysteriousness they talk about was just what she was. She seemed like she came here already grown up, from the beginning.”

The Kardashian Sisters did a PSA for the Burma crisis. And while I was hoping this ish was a joke, the accompanying press release from the publicists for this campaign prove it to be real. WTF material indeed.

And Diddy says the Notorious movie is going well and Gravy is killin’ the Biggie role. He even had to leave the set because Derek Luke was playing his Puffy Combs role way too well. Diddy recently told MTV:

“Gravy, the guy playing B.I.G., it was just too eerie for me to be on that,” Combs marveled. “Gravy’s killing it. If I tell you he’s killing it, then that’s all we need to say, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think anybody could have done a better job.”

“It’s rare that you get a movie made about you when you’re still relevant, but [they] took on the challenge,” Combs said of the cast, adding that he was especially impressed with actor Derek Luke, who is playing Diddy. “People asked me years ago who you’d want to play me, and I said Derek Luke … so it was just destined. I got to see him do his thing, and it was scary for me. I had to leave, ’cause he was acting just like me.”

This ought to get interesting.
