Thanks to the MANY of you that sent me Kerry Washington photos with her fiance David. They’ll be posted soon. ‘Preciate it. Lots of gossip to drop…so keep up:

Beyonce back in February

Oh B…what was “Your Fabness” thinking when you wore this top from the Girls section and/or grandma’s house? I’m glad you’ve rectified the situation since then.

Bow Wow at MTV TRL London this week

Where did all THAT come from?? Well, well….what he lacks in height he makes up for in buffness. Wait…I feel like I’m committing a statutory crime just by saying that.

Eva looked fabulous last weekend on her way to the wedding of a friend. And since she’s just dying for children…so she says…I wonder if she boo hooed her eyes out wishing it was her and Tony’s wedding day.

And even the most fabulous gals carry flip flops with em when those stilletos are killin the feet. Ooooh that damn furry purse again.

Damn…Ashanti lookin like Tyrone Biggums from Dave Chappelle with those too-light lips. I need her not to forget she’s Black when applying make-up. Movin on…

L.A. Confidential mag threw a party for Holly Robinson-Peete’s book launch yesterday in L.A. Her new book is called: Get Your Own Damn Beer, I’m Watching the Game! A Woman’s Guide to Loving Pro-football. Now that should be cute. Her many celeb friends also came out to show some love for her:

Holly and husband Rodney actin silly.

Cover of HRP’s book

Holly is looking gorgeous.

Speaking of book launching parties…hip hop legend David Liles had his yesterday also. His book is properly titled Make it Happen: From Intern to President.

(l-r)Edgar Bronfman, Bob Johnson, Kevin Liles, and Russell Simmons

Ja Rule and Irv Gotti

Now ya’ll know good and damn well ya’ll don’t read. You wouldn’t got in all that trouble with the IRS if you did.

Sandy Lomax

She’s looking ever so classy and fabulous.

Gayle King and Russell Simmons

Trey Songz

I need him to stop tryin so hard. Anybody else think both of his songs out right now sound exactly the same?

Oooh Big Tigga is so sexy.

And while we’re on the subject of sexy guys with cat like names…Tiger Woods was in the Times Square Virgin Megastore yesterday promoting his new game PGA Tour 2006.

What possessed him to die his hair blonde…and in zebra like fashion? Was it that blondie wife of his?? See what marrying the white girls do to ya??

Now I usually don’t talk mess about Michael cuz I don’t believe in beating a dead horse…but this was funny:

Shar’s ex, Kevin Federline, is tryna take over the world with his raunchy style.

And Ms. Shar is starting to look decent again…somewhat:

Even though this outfit is cute…it just doesn’t raise her up to a “fabulous” level. Maybe it’s the bad weave. Keep workin at it Shar….

J-Lo looked incredible in her spread for this month’s You magazine by Glamour. And FYI…her new perfume “Still” actually smells good, unlike her first one “GLO”.

Fabulous as usual.

And I’ve discovered another pic from JD’s Vegas b-day party last weekend.

MC at JD’s b-day party

For once the short and tight dress look worked for her.

Awwwww…look at Kanye when he was itty bitty:

Now that’s what I call CUTE.

Ok…it’s official. This is Monica’s baby Rodney Ramone III (and it also was him in the post a few days back) . He’s 5 months old now and if you’re surprised…so were many others. She purposely hid the pregnancy and birth of her son. Her fiance/baby daddy (I swear those words should be added to Webster’s dictionary) Rodney Ramone is the co-owner of Rocky Records.

The 80’s hip hop throwback is in full effect these days huh?

Darryl “DMC” Mcdaniel at Spin magazine’s 20th anniversary party

That hat and jogging suit jacket bring back some serious memories.

LL was spotted leaving the Tony Danza Show this week.

Just scrumptious.

Meagan Good was spotted at a party at Element in Holywood last weekend….in true YBF style.

Lots of black celebs attended the Nokia and MTV event/concert “Nokia Unwired” in Times Square the other day:

Dennis the Menace

Such a cutie.

Nadia Turner from American Idol

Only she could pull off this hair.

Why is L.A. Reid lookin like a kid G.I. Joe up in this event?? Tisk, tisk.

And the cutie Sean Paul was there.

Now Star Jones hasn’t admitted to…or denied…having gastric bypass surgery.

But damn…this was a transformation due to some hard work on SOMEBODY’S behalf…either a doctor’s or hers. Regardless…I think she’s rising to the fabulous level. (She know she need to gon head and admit to that surgery.)

And finally, Venus Williams attended the L.A. In Her Shoes premiere at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Her weave has gotten out of control.

OMG I just fell in love with that purse. Fabulous.

The Randomness:

1. Why did Sharissa have on all that makeup and still not look cute in her new video “I’m in Love with a Thug” with the Kellz? I mean, how hard is it…really?
2. I think Ultimate Hustler is gonna be at least 1 show I’ll watch on BET. These kids these days need to learn sumthin about how to work for money…not just spend it.
3. Uh oh. After Ultimate Hustler the number is up to 2 for how many BET shows I watch. They’re about to start showing old In Living Color episodes. Crunk.
4. Lil John is suing Larry Flynt over using his image unagreeingly in one of Larry’s pornos. Now Lil John…you know u was just to tipsy of that Crunk Juice during that business meeting to know ya azz did agree to it. See where that drank gets you. Story
5. And another one. Daaaaaaamn has anybody in Black Hollywood NOT sued R. Kelly? This just ain’t his year. Story

Keep it fab!

Bjorn

Watch out ya’ll…it’s on and poppin over at Roc-a-fella records now!

The Atlanta premiere for The Gospel went down this weekend. Black Hollywood was in full effect. I might actually go see this one and ignore my doubts about going to see black movies. Check previous posts for the explanation.

The star of the movie Boris Kodjoe was lookin HOT with his wife and baby momma Nicole Parker.

Now ya’ll know ya’ll need to stop callin that man gay. Keep brushing them hatas off BK.

Note to black parents: It is ok to nickname your child boo, honey, sweetie, baby girl, doll…but don’t EVER sign that child’s birth certificate with one of those nicknames as a real name. Just wrong.

China Doll McClaine

Regadless of how cute she is…now…how this girl gon find a job if actin just don’t work out?

Update: As usual, the “other” entertainment industry got her name wrong…it has been verified that it is China Anne McClain. But the comments about how to name ya kids still stands.

I honestly believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a stroller on the red carpet. My people, my people.

Chris Spencer and his wife Vanessa

Wifey’s lookin fabulous though.

All the Gooding men:

Cuba Gooding, Sr. and his wife there to support son Omar.

Omar Gooding

Where’s Cuba? Ya’ll know he be absent from the Black Hollywood circuit. Don’t act surprised.

The ultra fabulous Elise Neal.

Jacque Reid and Carlotta King

Now BET know they need to bring J back to BET Nightly News. She’s the only reason why people even watched that….the very few that did.

On the gossip tip: It’s being whispered that John Legend’s new girlfriend is Ms. Jacque Reid. And ya’ll know ya’ll need to stop callin that man gay too. Mmmm can’t wait to get validation on that one.

Keisha Knight-Pullam

This chick is gettin more fabulous every time I see her. And she know she need to gon head an admit she had a fling with Chingy. Hell I would…that boy is cute!

Do ya’ll remember one-hit wonder Sammie? Yep…that’s him. I swear him and Mario have the same nose.

Well obviously Monica’s caught a drift of YBF asking where she’s been hiding cuz she is just out and about all a sudden.

Monica and Kelly Price

And definitely lookin fab while doing so. Now I just need her to gon head and drop another album. Note to Keyshia Cole: That’s how you pull off two-toned hair.

Nona Gay and Anthony Anderson

There’s just sumthin about that Nona….. Possibly that ridiculously sized tat on her arm…

Mary Mary

Perri “Pebbles” Mckissack and former NBA star Terry Cummings

{Crunk and Disorderly}

“Drank in my cup….MAN hold up…” Damn Tocarra….must you really drink out of a whole OJ carafe? At least use a straw.

I know not verybody’s gotten Lil Kim’s album that dropped today….but if you want a sneak peek into the album cover pics and promo pic….here goes: (Oh, and if you one of those people that like to be surprised by the cover when you buy the album…too bad)

Whoa…she looks uberly fabulous in the last pic. Definitely my fave…chic, classic, glamourous, and fab. As for the first coupla pics…it just seems wrong to make her look like a porcelain doll.

And for our daily Eva Longoria spotting:

The superfabulous chick was spotted walking her dog in the Wood this weekend. And wearing boyfriend Tony Parker’s France b-ball jersey. Awwww how precious. Wait…is this what we call walking a dog? At least that’s what the caption said.

Naomi Campbell on a rough day

DAMN GIRL! You lookin like that porkchop that pitbull wanted was tied hella tight around ya neck cuz yo face look a HOT ASS MESS. And then she has the audacity to be wearing a Chanel necklace while lookin this rough…making Chanel look this bad should be outlawed.

Joy Bryant attended the recent Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Issue party at the Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood. This outfit is highly countrified and highly hideous…but she’s still a pretty girl.

Diddy was hammering away at Rockefeller Plaza this weekend with Habitat for Humanity. All these houses being made were part of the “Make a Difference Today” event.

Now Diddy…you know u ain’t ever picked up a hammer a day in your life. And what’s the deal with everybody wearing hats that look extremely large for their head??

And finally, KLS was seen at Sears the other day:

Kimora Lee Simmons promoting her new fragrance at Sears

Now ya’ll know that heffa wasn’t shoppin there! She was promoting her new very unpleasant fragrance. Don’t be fooled by the good smelling magazine promo people! And I could SO imagine her tellin a lil kid that in the last pic.

The Randomness:

1. Update on the fabulous Kerry Washington: She’s engaged and getting married. Not sure to who yet but that will soon be discovered. She’s also doing a photospread in In Style’s Wedding magazine and the previews look gorgeous.

2. The New Orleans Chief of Police resigned today (1 month after Katrina) with no notice or reason. Noone’s saying if he was pressured or not. And the finger pointing begins. Story

3. Naomi’s up to her old tricks again. Story

4. Andrea, R. Kelly’s estranged wife, has dropped the petition for him to back the f up off her and her kids. Oh…will this marriage ever end?? Story

5. I guess this is better than getting your head bitten off by an angry fan. Poor Layzie Bone. Story

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fab steal: There’s a book on the market called Beautylicious! A Black Girl’s Guide to the Fabulous Life. I haven’t read it yet…but the excerpt is great. It’s only $7.74 here.

Folks are takin notice ya’ll! I’m excited to announce that I’m being interviewed for one of the top hip hop websites-Thabiz.com-about YBF. I’ll keep ya’ll posted on when the interview will be up. On to the gossip:

The 2005 BET Comedy Awards were taped tonight. Ya’ll know the drill…let’s check out the red carpet for the drama:

Now when the unfabness is at a level as high as this…I begin to blame the stylist and “crew” surrounding the celeb. That stylist should be tarred and feathered and subjected to public ridicule for choosing this outfit for her. And once this outfit was on…even if Merlynne herself picked it out…she should have been stopped by everyone she came in contact with and told this was strictly for “shirt” use, not “dress” use. This is ri-DAMN-diculous.

Damn that BET. Is it really necessary to have that big ol white tape “x” on the carpet? Ya’ll can’t figure out another way to show the celebs where to stand? Just tacky.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me why Omarosa is big kickin it on e’rybody red carpet?? She’s turnin her 15 minutes into a real unnecessary hour. What’s her purpose again?

She looks the foolywang on Reno 911, but pretty fab here.

Tyler Perry

So talented. So fabulous.

Tracee Ellis Ross

The dress, shoes, and purse are all magnifique…but I’m not really feeling her shout out to Shirly Temple. The hair aint that cute.

Tisha Campbell has definitly got the fabness workin. The hair and makeup is hittin.

Tisha Campbell and husband Duane Martin

Awwww they are so cute. And Duane is lookin real nice on All of Us. Nice to see the love…

Sherri Shephard

Either she’s wearing a REAL tight girdle or this chick is workin it out fa real. I ain’t mad at cha Sherri. (I put my money on the girdle)

Mar-in…..Mar-in…Mar-in…..You so crazy.

Don’t act like ya’ll don’t remember the show’s intro song. Awww…seeing him and Tisha in the same place brings back memories of Martin. We need a remake…just to see if Tommy ever reveals what the hell is job is.

Former beauty queen and actress Kenya Moore

She’s a posterchild on how to be YBF. Definitely another one of my fave fab actresses.

Oh Golden. What can I say? Apparently she’s been reading YBF cuz she looks better than her usual on the red carpet.

Camille Winbush

This time her clothes are more age appropriate…but the outfit aint cute. Who let her put fur on her jean cuffs? What kind of nonsense is that?

Regina is lookin FAB-U-LOUS. Work it out then chick.

Telma Hopkins

She looks real happy to be on the red carpet again. I know it’s been a while.

Janet, Ashanti, and Da Brat attended the JD’s Vegas b-day party the other day:

Wow. I think I just saw the first black Cruella De Ville:

Click thumbnail for larger pic

Nevermind….it’s just Janet. Was she serious about this outfit?

And to think…she was just so cute back then:

Ashanti looked gorgeous.

Click thumbnails for larger pics

Possibly copin a lil of Beyonce’s style. But still fab.

What in the fresh hell???

Click thumbnail for larger pic

Someone PLEASE catch the crack head penguins that attacked this chick. They are on the loose! What ever happened to that Brat that was discovering her womanliness back in the “What u Like” video with Tyrese??? FIND HER!!!

The fabulous Eva was spotted the other day going to fetch herself some coffee from LA’s Coffee Bea:

I know that girl didn’t valet her car just to go in and get some coffee. That…my friends…is divalicious. If only she would stop carrying that fur-ridden purse everywhere.

T.I. threw a a birthday party for himself this weekend at Earth in NYC and it looked CRUNK!

King T.I. and Tiny

I’m lovin his executive/preppy/usherboy look. Just fly.

On the gossip tip: Apparently the whispers about him and Tiny (the chick from Xscape) still kickin it (no pun intended) have some merit to em. They were lookin real lovey dovey in the pics from the party. They were rumored to have broken up…after Tiny’s had some babies by him…for the usual reasons. Looks like they’re still together doubters.

Lil John keepin it crunk with BMI executive Catherine Brew.

Rapper Sticky Fingaz

Now that’s definitely a cutie.

Trina’s still the baddest b*tch.

Say what ya’ll wanna say bout my girl…but she’s still fabulous. Yeah those pants are a lil on the snug side…but hey…it’s Trina. Gotta love her.

F A-B O…

Fabolous can’t spell…but he is just that. Even though he’s rockin sunglasses at night WHICH I HATE! And surprisingly he’s a cutie. Don’t believe me? Go watch his “Baby” video again. Hot.

Faith Evans

Not feelin those shoes.

Keenan Thompson

His fingers scare me.

Slim Thug reppin H-Town T-X. Not sure the size of that tat…or the tat itself…was all that necessary…but do what you do.

Spinderella lookin casual and fab.

Young Jeezy

T squared kickin it in the party.

Maybe he just found out he may be a target in HOV’s “I Declare War” concert.

Ummm…Wendy. 1) you’re not in your 20’s anymore and 2) those shoes don’t match nothin you got on.

Fat Joe and wifey Lorena Cartegnati

Ya’ll remember the one-hit wonder Samantha Mumba??

Samantha Mumba and her fella

She has a new movie coming out real soon in Ireland. And here she is on her happy way to court last week to fight “driving charges”. Damn…anything for publicity huh?

The Randomness:

1. The “George Bush Don’t Like Black People Remix” video is out. Click here to see it. Now this oughta spark some debate.
2. Is it really necessary for Lil Scrappy to continually perform shirtless or with a real tight tank top?
3. The Game said to hell with G-Unit…again. Let’s see how this plays out this time. Story
4. Send up prayers for D’Angelo who was critically injured in a bad car crash this weekend. Story
5. Mimi’s new “Shake it Off” remix is hella hot. Ya’ll know I love me some Jigga and Jeezy…so maybe I’m a lil biased. Listen here.

Leave your fave throwback jams in the comments and Stay fabulous!

And now for today’s public service announcement:

Crack is sooooooo whack. And if you listen to celebrities who act like it’s just the s*it to be on these dayz…you’ll end up looking like this:

Whitney Houston

This “Before and After” ain’t pretty people. Just say no.

Aisha Tyler looked deadly at last week’s L.A. premiere of History of Violence at the Egyptian. And that’s not a good thing.

Young Black Hollywood was reppin on TRL yesterday:

Alicia Keys was lookin simple and chic.

Lovin Eve’s tee. (It reads “God Save New Orleans”) Gotta find that mug somewhere…. Fab belt too.

And Bow Weezie was in that piece pubbing Roll Bounce.

And across the way…Bow’s main chick was giving an unusual performance at the opening of a new style room of a NYC Marriot Hotel. Were they serious about goin all out to get a Crunk n B performer to unveil a remodeling?? Damn Marriot, ya’ll that hurt for customers?

CIARA! CAN YOU HEAR ME GIRL? Maybe if you pull all that horsehair from in front ya ears you could hear me.

And why is she shakin it like a dog during her performance???

By the way…what did she think she was doin in this outfit at the Vibe magazine party last month?? And that “Come sex me” pose is gettin tired.

Awww Free…..don’t tell me you gettin caught smokin some stuff too???

Free out clubbin in NYC recently {Crunk and Disorderly}

Oh well…I still miss you…come back to the scene!

Latoya Luckett

Ya’ll remember Latoya Luckett from the early Destiny’s Child days?? Well…she’s droppin a new album real soon. Betcha I can predict how that one’s gonna turn out.

Meagan at an event lookin extra cuddly with her date

Well ya’ll know how Meagan Good is ULTRA tightlipped about who her pro-football beau is…I’ve found a pic that looks real interesting. Thanks to a reliable source (you know who you are *wink*), I now know this pic is interesting to a whole lotta folks in the Wood. Hmmm….

Lenny Kravitz at the “New Yorkers for Children” event last week

Lenny Kravitz is hella sexy. And to think…I must be late to the game cuz I’ve started taken notice just recently.

Mariah and Eddie kickin it at a club recently:

Click here for the 2nd pic.

Mariah’s been whispered to be gettin her serious flirt on with Eddie Murphy. Damn the ink aint even dry on the start of his divorce papers and he linked up already in the gossip mill. Well…this one doesn’t have much fact to back it up…so take it with a grain of salt for now. It’s still pretty funny to think about.

The fabulous Ananda Lewis is making a guest appearance on Young and the Restless very soon.

Ananda taping her scene opposite Brad and Victoria

Ananda with some of the Y&R cast

Y&R is one of my fave soaps so I’ma love it.

The fabulous Phyllis George-former beauty queen and current tv sportscaster-attended Premiere’s Women in Hollywood event yesterday.

Sanaa Lathan was also in attendance. She looks gorgeous as usual.

Diddy leaving St. Tropez in a heli just after getting off his yacht yesterday

Now Diddy..you gettin ya jewelry snatched the other day and being tired from tryna to catch the thief aint no excuse for you to be publicly seen in this pajama get up. The tennis shoes are the funniest part.

On the gossip tip: Diddy has reportedly been robbed of a $7.2 mil diamond encrusted watch taken from his own NY office. His people were told to remain quiet…but it’s been leaked out that SOMEBODY in that office (another bad boy or girl or worker) is the culprit and/or keepin secrets cuz as tight and hidden as Diddy kept his stuff….it was mos def an inside job. Just sad.

Omar Epps, his wife Keyshia, and their kids went to today’s Nickelodeon Fairypalooza event.

Omar’s a cutie. But I aint gon lie…Keyshia look like she’ll go hard in the paint on ya azz if you try to mess with her man. Hmmm…wonder how she got along with Sanaa?

OMG Blair Underwood is still sexy.

Click here to view the pic of Blair, his wife Desiree, and their kids

The fam attended the Nickelodeon Fairypalooza event also.

And finally…check out Alicia looking uberly fabulous in a Vanity Fair photospread.

Gorgeous.

The Randomness:

1. Bow Wow told the Doug Banks Show the other day that Ciara is his first true love. Awwwww. Anywho…when DeeDee asked him why C looked ridiculously tall next to him…he said he don’t know cuz she ain’t tall at all. Boy please…you know that girl is tall as hell and you still ain’t really hit ya growing spurt so that makes the situation worse.
2. Big Ups to Young Jeezy for opening his home to tons of evacuees on the coast.
3. Speaking of Jeezy…anybody else lovin his song with Akon and “And Then What”? Crunk.
4. The “Golddigger Remix” with George Bush is made by two Houston rappers Damien Randle and Micah Nickerson. Not Kanye people!
5. The name of Kanye’s new album, that he’s finished 3 songs on so far, is Graduation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fab trend: Another fab trend for fall shoes is a rounded toe. Hey…if you’re scared of it…just buy one pair and at least try it out. You can never have too man shoes anyway…so what u got to lose? The shoes pictured here are by CARLOS by Carlos Santana. Check em out at zappos.com.

And keep your fave throwback jams comin in the comments!

The Hip Hop Honors Awards went down last night at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. I’ma leave out the pics from the actual show so not to spoil it for ya’ll that are gonna watch it. Now ya’ll know how I feel bout awards shows…so let’s check out the “red carpet” (it was actually beige)…

Big Daddy Kane

Anthony Anderson

The Bishop Don Juan

The Godfather of the Pimp Cup. He cracks me up.

Christopher Wallace, Jr. (Biggie’s son)

He is just too cute.

“We are a part of a Ciaranation…” Just playin. She can’t ever touch Janet. But apparently Ciara is channeling Janet Jackson 80’s style. Rhythm Nation is all up in my head right now:

Oh Ciara…your quick stint at fabulousness is slowly fading away. She strugglin in them shoes too.

Common

Lovin the green tee. Lovin the one in it too.

Faith Evans

Lookin fabulous….even though she’s mistaken this for a photoshoot.

En Vogue

Still lookin fly.

David Banner

I see you Dave classin up the joint with a suit.

Fat Joe

Holly Robinson-Peete

Good gracious she’s fabulous. She’s 40 with 3 kids and lookin hotter than ever before. Don’t ya just hate her?! Oh well…keep doin big thangs Holly! Check her out in all her fabulousness later in this post.

David Banner and Russell Simmons chattin it up.

Jason Kidd and his wife Joumana

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Grandmaster Caz

DJ Kid Capri

John Singleton and Nia Long

Nia is killin em with this look. She’s mos def one of my fave fab actresses…ya’ll know ya’ll loved ya’ll some Love Jones. Girl work it OUT then.

The fly LL…

Now thas what I’m talkin bout. Throwin it back to that 80’s “I Need Love” and “Rock the Bells” jumpsuit, hat, and chain. LOVE IT!

MC Lyte lookin ultra feminine and fab.

Shoo Omarosa…just shoo. Go away.

The Nellz

*Sigh* With a huge smile on my face while I look at Nelly’s pic.

Salt N Peppa

The Queen is here!

Ummm Ray J. Don’t get it twisted. You are not tight.

Oh Remy Ma. I’m speechless.

Russell Simmons and Rev Run

I swear Russell looks like a real big kid.

King T.I. lookin fly.

Wendy Williams

What the hell is goin on with those shoes??

Snoop D-O-Double Gizzle

The Roots

They’re one of the major reasons why I love Hip Hop.

Voletta Wallace with her grandbabies. Damn…I see Biggie’s face all up in that family.

Enough of that…now that we’ve seen pretty much every body in Black entertainment in one room…let’s move on.

Check out the fabulous Holly Robinson-Peete in her cover and photospread for this month’s Heart and Soul magazine:

Wow.

In Touch Weekly had a “Pets and Their Stars” party this week at L.A.’s Cabana Club:

Traci was back to her hoochie reject lookin self. Just a hot azz mess.

Camille Winbush

And Camille’s tryna to be too grown in the worst way. This is the teen daughter from The Bernie Mac Show. Hmmm…did her momma really let her out the house with that top on?

Click here to check out a pic of Keyshia Cole and her cute puppy at the event.

Finally, our favorite mogul couple was spotted attending Kanye’s concert at the Abbey Road Studios in the UK last night.

Click here and here to check out more pics of Bigga’s (the new name for the couple) night out.

They look fabulous as usual.

And on the gossip tip: Here’s an update on Bigga and D-Child: Jigga recently said in an interview that he will not ever discuss his 3 year relationship with Beyonce’ in the press. So stop askin him. Matthew Knowles said he’s not at odds with D-Child members as reported. He’s managing all 3 ladies’ solo careers. Beyonce’ will film Dreamgirls in December and her album will drop Sept. 2006. Kelly’s album will be out real soon. She’s on one of Trina’s song’s “Here We Go” out Oct. 4th and will also be in 3 episodes of Girlfriends in February. Michelle will be in a few episodes of Half and Half and her next album will be mainstream R&B.

The Randomness:

1. Chris Rock’s old school teacher called him to offer apologies for any hardships she gave him during his childhood after she saw the ads for his show. Boo. Story
2. Everybody Hates Chris beat all its competition on premiere night.
3. There’s been some whisperin that 50 ain’t dating Nia but he’s dating Puffy’s Baby Momma Misa…(the one that’s gettin that ridiculous amount of child support from Diddy and rumored to be the chick from the “One More Chance” video in the hot tub. Ya’ll know I only like fact based rumors…so I’ma have to do more research on this one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALRIGHT FAB READERS: Keeping with the theme of Hip Hop, what’s your FAVORITE throwback jam? It has to be at least 5 years old ya’ll. The older the better. If I like it too…it’ll go under the Fab Flashback Jam section. Leave it in the comments ya’ll!

Fab trend: Crocodile skin silleto pumps. They’re all the rage for the fall ladies. Real croc or mock croc…it’s all fab. The ones pictured below are by Cole Haan.

Rita is actin the fool ya’ll. Please evacuate and go somewhere if you live in southwest LA or southeast Texas or on the La/Tex border. Trust me…being out of some money cuz you erred on the side of caution is always better than the alternative. Now on to the gossip:

Pics of folks with their makeup and hair teams on strike.

Arissa Hill from the Real World

Ashanti

That unibrow is ri-damn-diculous. Has Nelly seen this nonsense??

Traci Bingham

Veronica Webb

Ain’t it funny how some look better or the same w/o all the extra? But some look the fool w/o it, ahem…Ashanti.

VH-1’s 2005 Hip Hop Honors Awards were taped tonight (and airs on the 26th) but the pre-party went down last night in NY:

Fab Five Freddy and David Allen Grier

Big Daddy Kane

Still lookin smooth.

Ice-T and Biggie’s Momma Voletta Wallace

I hope Janice Combs aint there cuz it might be a girl fight on hand. Ya’ll know Voletta can’t stand Diddy…so she says. And Ice-T was there with his porn-style Barbie (his wife), but I refuse to post the pic.

Salt N Peppa and Fab 5 Freddy

Q-Tip spinnin the tracks

La La and Ed Lover

I’m feeling that Chanel purse.

Vinny and Treach

Vinny looks like Mike Tyson’s lil brother.

Oooooh I think I’ma have to actually watch these awards. They actually look like they gonna be bout sumthin.

En Vogue and Salt N Peppa rehearsing for the tribute portion of the show

Never realized how much I missed Salt N Peppa and En Vogue till I saw this pic. Can’t wait to see the performance.

Monica, Ciara, and Baby {Crunk and Disorderly}

I haven’t received 100% percent validation that this is Monica’s baby, but regardless…that baby is CUTE! Oh, and C…is that what u call a disguise??

The premiere of Bow Wow’s new movie Roll Bounce went down this week. Tons of celebs came to show support.

Bow Wow and JD

The man of the hour was there sans is main chick Ciara. Hmmmm….and on a big night like this? Come to think of it…they haven’t been spotted together much at all lately. Why am I not surprised. We’ll see how this one plays out.

Khleo Thomas and Magic Johnson

Marcus Polk

Awww he’s grown up so much since his Moesha dayz.

Verdine White

Now Verdine…your hair been lookin like this for a hundred sumthin years. Do we need to intervene and perform an Extreme Makeover? It may be time for a change.

Nick Cannon and Meagan Good

See what happens when you aint around Christina?? On a side note…Meagan’s dating some football player that she’s real tight-lipped about and as soon as I find out who…pics will be found and posted.

Cal Mitchell

Brooke Valentine

Is that a bikini top beneath that jacket? Interesting.

J-Lo took a lil poolside vacay recently.

Hmmm…must be nice.

Whoa…a new cutie has entered my life. His name is Brian White and he’s just given me a reason to move the movie Flightplan to my “must see under any and all circumstances” list and he aint even in the movie.

Actress Judith Scott came to show some support for her movie.

WTF??

I would never chill in a bowl of water with my dog. I don’t care how much money I have. So…Mariah…1) you’re whack 2) you’re still staging your “candids” and 3) you need a man in the WORST way.

Some pics from the OK! magazine party at Ono in NY yesterday:

Kim Porter

Ummm…why does her face look like testosterone has been injected in it? Hopefully this was just a really bad angle.

And her boytoy Diddy really needs to make up his mind on whether he wants his pants cuffed or not.

And finally…

Tyra getting felt up on her show

On Tyra’s show that will air soon (or prolly already has) she brought in a doctor to examine her breasts…on tv..to prove they’re real. And she even took off her bra…on tv….to show how much they droop without the bra to prove their realness. Tyra…was all this necessary? And was the cryin necessary? No…THIS SHOW AINT ABOUT YOU!

The Randomness:

1. Nelly is gettin his own reality show. It’s gonna focus on what exactly it takes to be “Durrrty” and it’s produced by the same people as Swan and Hell’s Kitchen. Some genie somewhere has answered my wish to get more Nelly. Thank you.
2. Run’s (of Run DMC) reality show “Run’s House” kicks off Oct. 13th. Sigh.
3. Grant Hill and Tamia are such a cute couple. We got to take an inside look into their marriage on the ESPN Hollywood Show. If they can keep up a marriage that’s been through having 1 child, Tamia being diagnosed with very serious Multiple Sclerosis and Grant’s ridiculous amount of injuries in just 1 season…there’s hope for all marriages out there.
4. Destiny’s Child’s Greatest Hits #1’s Cd drops on the 25th. I’ma definitely cop it.
5. Why is Diddy comin back with Makin the Band 3?? Obviously it ain’t workin for ya D. Story

The mother of all hurricanes has sent her main 2 bad azz kids to follow me and other New Orleanians. Katrina and Rita are straight trippin. They need to calm all these p.m.s temper tantrums down and let me live my life. Obviously…my plans to move to Houston are now halted. Damn that Rita.

Ok ya’ll…this is the last time I’ma mention Jada’s scaryness…but this is funny.

Now ya’ll know she look like Rick James. Ok…movin on…

The Versace (pronounced “Ver-sah-chee” for those of ya’ll strugglin) store in Great Britain had a fabulous re-launching party this week. I woulda been in heaven.

Ms. Mariah was there looking decent..I guess. Wait…what is that ice on her 4th finger left hand about?? Hmmm..My faith in her is such a rubberband right now. She stretches me to my limit of annoyance then bounces me back with a few acts of fabulousness. *Sigh.*

Kanye West and Donatella Versace

Donatella looks ridiculously plastic. It’s just not even discussable at this point.

Yup…we goin internationally fabulous now ya’ll! This is UK R&B singer Jamelia. Oooh-wee girl. You need to gon head and lay it down in the house cuz that just looks painful. Congrats though!

And that’s UK black singer/actress Aret Komsly. She’s got a fab look.

Mariah and Kanye at Versace’s Great Britain Store Re-Launch

Watch out Em. K-Dubb tryna take ya girl.

The Hurricane Relief benefits were pretty much the place to be these past coupla weeks.

The Fashion For Relief benefit during Fashion Week was hosted by Naomi Campbell at NY’s Bryant Park Tents and it looked pretty fab.

Brandy at the Fashion for Relief benefit

I decided to post a pic of Brandy from behind cuz 1) it’s a much better angle for her than her Mrs. Potato Head front, 2) you ca catch a glimpse of the tat of ex-fiancee Q’s FACE on her back (was she on that s*it when she did that??) and 3) ol boy in the background is hilarious. He seriously thinks it’s his time to shine but he is sadly mistaken.

And to think I was gon give some credit to Janice for changing her hair color.

But that heffa changed it to this nonsense! Diddy…you are in the same place as ya momma at this event. Please assist her before you get sued again, but this time for negligence.

Beyonce’ made a surprise appearance and walked the runway for Relief. Well ain’t that just grand. Fabulous as always.

Amerie and Gwen Steffani stopped by to show some support.

Whoa… Foxy Brown has come out of hiding ya’ll.

I guess since Kim was gettin ready to be locked up she felt much safer to roam the streets. I’m lovin those shoes though.

Supermodel Iman

She still got it.

Damon Dash and his chick Rachel Roy

Damn Dame…either you real short or she’s real tall. Now ya’ll know anywhere B is Jigga is…but not here. Guess they didn’t wanna confront that beef while at a charity function.

And Naomi decided to be photographed with EVERYBODY for the paparazzi:

Naomi and Diddy

Naomi and Chris Tucker

Damn Chris is still cute.

Naomi and Veronica Webb

David Banner’s Hurricane Benefit Concert at NYC’s B.B. King looked crunker than an actual hip hop concert.

Oooooh David, honey. We can really do without your shirt being off. I know you curunk for Katrina and all…but gon head and calm that down a bit if this is what it makes you do.

E! Reporter and MTV VJ Amanda Diva

Amanda Diva was up in that piece. I’ve kicked it with Diva before…real cool chick.

Now I know I talked about Keyshia Cole having unnecessary 3 tone hair…but even this 1 tone color aint that cute (yes….that’s her and I got other pics from the event to prove it). Oh well…she tried. And Remy Ma lookin real rough…her usual.

I KNOW Dave ain’t leave his show to go kick it with some rappers. Everytime I turn around that boy out kickin it. Oh well…come back soon Dave.

Memphis Bleek came to kick it and perform.

Talib Kweli came and wrecked shop.

And Q-Tip was chillin in the cut. I love me some him.

Our favorite couple B and Hov were spotted attending the Jon Bon Jovi listening party for Bon Jovi’s new album this week.

Now I don’t know why ya’ll tryna hide up there in VIP.

The “Big Apple to the Big Easy Benefit” was held at Madison Square Garden yesterday.

Aaron Neville was sangin his heart out. Everytime I hear that song he made for New Orleans post-Katrina, tears well up. So I have to turn off the tv.

Lenny Kravitz was gettin his Ray Charles on.

Biiiiiilll. I love you so and I always will….(It’s a song ya’ll). Pres. Clinton stopped by and spread some hope. Bill…come back and save us…please.

And finally…is it just me or is Kelly Rowland lookin uberly pretty these days.

La La, Kelly, and Michelle at Hotel MTV

Kelly and Michelle chillaxin at the Ritz Carlton pool

Kelly outside the Mandrin hotel in London

Yep…simply fabulous.

The Randomness:

1. “If the ride is mo fly…then you must buy.” That Snoop cracks me up on the Buick commercial.
2. Alicia Keys will kick off the new season of Unplugged on MTV. Her Unplugged album is gonna be HOT. “Unbreakable” is the first single off the LP. Story
3. I just still can’t believe Phil came back. And Kobe talkin a whole lotta mess that he don’t believe himself. Story
4. For everyone wondering/e-mailing me bout where Lil Kim’s sentence will play out, it’s at the Federal Detention Center in Philidelphia. Here’s where to write: Kimberly Jones 56198-054 Fdc Philadelphia Federal Detention Center P.o.box 562 Philadelphia, Pa 19106
5. Since Martha Stewart’s new show has absolutely nan a black person up on that piece…I’m now boycotting the show. Boo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fab tip o’ the day: I apologize for talkin up the new Baby Phat perfume. That mug does not smell all that great and is not worth the $50. The sales lady at the perfume counter today even told me a whole lotta people are disappointed when they try it. I agree.

I’m a Chanel girl…can’t go wrong with any of those fabulous perfumes.
