Dream Job: Alicia Keys Needs "Head Blogger" for IAAS.com

2010-04-08T03:52:00.001-07:00

Alicia Keys recently announced the launch of her brand new website IAAS.com (I Am A Superwoman) -- a project targeting the modern woman -- and now the R&B singer is on the hunt for a head blogger.

The songstress has teamed with Monster.com to launch a blogger search in an attempt to find the ideal candidate to steer the new site. The search has already begun and ends on May 6. Keys issued a statement this week describing her vision for the new blog.

"With IAAS.com, I'll be displaying my 'voice' in a different way and need just the right person to help me express a point of view that I don't think exists yet in the blog world," she said. In addition to basic requirements, which include a valid passport and a knowledge of pop culture, Key's ideal employee will be expected to create a "fun, inspiring online neighborhood for super women to check in with what other super women are thinking, doing, feeling, working on, eating, buying, wearing and laughing about, and to prompt discussions on things the modern super woman cares about."

The new head blogger for Key's IAAS.com will be announced on national television during the week of June 21. Visit IAAS.com for more information. Alicia Keys is currently performing U.S. dates on her 'Freedom' tour behind her fourth studio album, 'The Element of Freedom.'

The ad campaign kicks off in the UK soon.

Oscar Night Fashion

2010-03-08T13:42:00.000-08:00

Sherri Shepherd: Grade C.
Sherri looks ok, but it's nothing spectacular for such a fabulous night!

Paula Patton: Grade B+. She's glowing and looks adorable in her off-shoulder dress. Paula makes "expecting" fashionable!

Tyler Perry: Grade A. Tyler looks debonair...enough said.

Nicole Richie: Grade B-. This dress works for her and her bohemian style, but overall I'm not fond of the dress!

Zoe Kravitz: Grade C. It's not like the dress is ugly, but in "real life" she has such a unique fashion sense and I don't feel like the dress reflects that. The girl is funky, but this dress is blah! Stay true to yourself Zoe!

Lenny Kravitz: Grade A+. He looks handsome...edible almost!

Gabourey Sidibe: Grade A. I think she looks cute and flitry but is still appropriately dressed for the ambiance of the event! Good job!

Mo'Nique: Grade A. I love Mo'Nique and her man...they make a good-looking couple! Although I would have loved to see something a little bolder on her, I think she looks glamorous and perfect for the night! And her husband ain't a bad accessory either!

Jennifer Lopez: Grade B+: I looooooooveeee her dress! J. Lo shines in it! She's just short of an "A" though and that's due to her slightly messy hair. it's take away from the elegance of the dress.

Miley Cyrus: Grade A. For her age, Miley's dress is pretty appropriate. I think she looks great!

Zoe Saldana: Grade C. Hmmmm, not a big fan of the skirt. Maybe if she wore it with something other than the sequenced top and those chunky heels. I think she wanted to be HAUTE COUTURE, but I think she's more of a HOT MESS!

Mariah Carey: Grade C+. I just think Mariah is among the style-challenged! She never seems to get it right, sometimes she's all off, sometimes she's close... This time, she almost had it, but the dress seems to be ill-fitting on her frame and looks slightly too small!

Queen Latifah: Grade A. She looks elegant. Period

Mo'nique wins Oscar for Best Supporting Actress [Precious]

2010-03-08T07:07:00.000-08:00

The Academy Awards...Mo' Nique Wins an Oscar:

Mo'Nique won the best supporting actress Oscar on Sunday for her role as an abusive mother in "Precious," claiming her first Academy Award.

The actress had been considered the favorite to win, having racked up a slew of critics' choice, festival and guild awards for her role in the independent film.

Her chilling portrayal of Mary, a verbally, physically and sexually abusive mother to the title character, had an intensity unmatched by any of the other nominees, who were Penelope Cruz in "Nine," Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Crazy Heart," and Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick in "Up in the Air."

Mo'Nique accepted her statuette to a standing ovation.

"I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics," she said with emotion. "To my amazing husband, Sidney -- thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what's popular, in order to do what's right."

The newly crowned winner, whose real name is Monique Imes, was up until now largely known for her work as a comedian on the stand-up circuit as well as the UPN television series "The Parkers," and films including "Phat Girlz" and "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins." Last fall, she debuted her own late-night talk show on cable channel BET, "The Mo'Nique Show."

"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" is the actress' second pairing with filmmaker Lee Daniels, who first cast her in his directorial debut in 2005's "Shadowboxer," alongside fellow Oscar nominee, Helen Mirren.

Mo'Nique joins only a few black actresses to get an Oscar. Hattie McDaniel claimed best supporting actress in 1939's "Gone with the Wind," Whoopi Goldberg won best supporting actress for 1990's "Ghost," Halle Berry took best actress for 2001's "Monster's Ball" and Jennifer Hudson got best supporting actress for 2006's "Dreamgirls."

Mo'Nique said last year at the Sundance Film Festival that the sexual abuse her character displays in "Precious" is not completely foreign to her, as she described her own experience as the victim of childhood molestation.

Poll: Men Love Megan Fox, Women Prefer...Beyonce!

2010-02-22T15:08:00.000-08:00

Men are different than women even when it comes to like ...women. According to a women poll, Beyonce Knowles is the sexiest woman alive, while a similar men poll designed Megan Fox on the first position.

So if asked, nineteen percent of men would like to share their lives (but mostly their beds) with 'Transformers' actress, Megan Fox.

According to Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Beyonce had won the best body in female's survey, but the Hollywood actress Megan was voted as the hottest in males survey report.

Fortunately, the poll wasn't about knowledge (just a little bit about Knowles though).

Fantasia Barrino -- High Alert After Hate Mail

2010-02-22T12:52:00.001-08:00

Fantasia Barrino is under a self-imposed lockdown -- after the "American Idol" champ received a threatening letter.

It all started last night at the Pantages Theater in L.A. -- Fantasia was reading her fan mail after a performance of "The Color Purple."

Fantasia's manager tells us Barrino became alarmed over a disturbing letter loaded with racial slurs -- including the n-word -- and a line that read, "go back where you came from and die."

We're told the person who wrote the letter claims he used to work as a security guard for Fox while Fantasia was on "A.I."

Fantasia's manager tells us the singer immediately contacted theater security -- which then contacted the LAPD.

In the meantime, we're told the theater has "beefed up" security around Fantasia -- and all over the venue -- and will be screening anything sent to Barrino's dressing room before it gets to her.

Fantasia tells TMZ, "I will not be defeated by one isolated person's hatred."

RIP Alexander McQueen

2010-02-11T20:45:00.001-08:00

The 40 year old great controversial British designer was found dead in his London home Thursday. After anguished Internet postings that revealed his deep sorrow at the death of his mother, circumstances pointed to a possible suicide but there was no official confirmation from police or McQueen's publicists. Police said the death was not suspicious, apparently ruling out foul play, and did not give any immediate indication of how the death was discovered.

The Sun tabloid on Thursday cited an anonymous source on its Web site who said an ambulance was called at 10 a.m. and workers found McQueen hanging in his apartment. The newspaper gave no further details.

McQueen's sudden death robbed the fashion scene of one of its most innovative and successful young designers. His clothes were sexy and distinctive, dramatic and different, perfect for red-carpet presentations and late night rock gatherings.

He made his name first in London, then wooed audiences in Paris, New York and Milan to take his place in the upper echelons of the design world.

Yet recently posted comments on his Twitter page showed that McQueen was distraught over the Feb. 2 death of his mother. He said he wanted his mother to rest in peace "but life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Using an obscenity, he added that he had had an "awful week" and said he had to "some how pull myself together and finish."

Hot Yella is a fast rising name emerging from the Tallahassee area. Recent cosigns from DJs Storm and Supastar J Kwik have a lot of people checking for Yella, and her new song “Miss Me” is taking off in Florida.

By Ms. Rivercity

Introduce yourself and tell us how you started rapping.
Well, I started off singing. The first time I ever recorded anything I was in 7th grade. I actually rapped a little back then, but I started out singing. I also write music – I write R&B and Hip Hop records. I’m an artist on Triple Threat, so a lot of people know me for my tagline “Triple Threat.”

Where are you from originally?
I’m from Tallahassee. I was born in Florida. I’m also from Madison, Wisconsin and Las Vegas. I moved around a lot. In high school I went to three different schools. I moved around a lot in middle and elementary school too, so my versatility comes through in my music.

Do you still sing at all? Or are you strictly rapping now?
Yeah, I still sing on some of my hooks. I’m mostly rapping right now though. I’m making a lot of fun records, a lot of club records right now. That’s what I really love to do – make feel-good, happy music, stuff for the ladies. But I also write R&B records and sing.

Tell us about the “Miss Me” song you have buzzing on the net.“Miss Me” is out right now. I really wanna give a big shout out to Supastar J Kwik in Tallahasse, also all the DJs on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace supporting the record. “Miss Me” is a song for the ladies. There’s a free download on HotYella.com.

What’s the situation with you and DJ Storm? Are you her artist or is she just helping you get your name out there?
Storm and I work together. I had been doing music for a while [before we linked up]. We worked in radio together. I interned at the station Blazin’ 102.3 for about a year and we became friends. She hosted my mixtape that I put out last June. I was gonna put out the mixtape anyway, and Storm was like, “I’m all about my ladies, chicks in charge.” So she wanted to host it. It turned out to be a real good mixtape. It’s called Life of a Triple Threat. You can also check that out on my website.

Are you doing another mixtape soon?
I’m working on singles right now. I’m coming out with something every couple months. Right now I got “Miss Me,” I got a freestyle to Jay-Z’s “On to the Next.” It got on a mixtape this week and “Miss Me” got on two mixtapes this week. I also got a new single coming out called “Cat Walk.”

You mentioned interning at the radio station. What were some things you learned in the internship that have helped with your music career?
It was a promotional internship and I also did a couple call-ins. It helped me. Radio and doing music is somewhat alike. You have to be good at networking and dealing with people. There’s a lot of good information you can learn in radio and bring that over into music.

It seems like Tallahassee would be a good market to gain a fanbase with all the college students living there. Is that an advantage for you?
Yeah, 100 percent. We have all these universities here. If you can’t touch the people here and make a mark in the music industry, then it’s probably gonna be way harder for you to do it in a different market. There’s so many students and people thirsty for entertainment and clubs.

As a representative for the ladies, what do you feel is missing from the game as far as that goes?
There’s an obvious lack of female artists. I think a lot of it has to do with how women present themselves as a business entity. A lot of men look at it as more of a business. But with Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, people like that, I think it’s going to be changing soon. People are really thirsty to hear a good female artist. There’s gonna be more to come from “bad bitches.”

What else do you have in the works?
Look out for my new single and keep yourself updated on HotYella.com. That’s where everything is, links to my Myspace, Facebook, Twitter. For booking you can contact 26 Talent at 850-320-1030. All my ladies, keep your heads up and you’ll hear more to come. //

Victoria Beckham: “I’m Not a Supermodel”

2010-02-05T13:46:00.000-08:00

Victoria Beckham is rarely snapped without her super-high heels and oversize shades, but, the star reveals, her “Posh” persona is hardly an accurate portrayal of her. “I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself,” Victoria tells Glamour in their March issue.

“When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.”

In fact, Victoria even cops to suffering for her love of fashion, just like the rest of us. Of her signature stilettos, the 35 year-old admits, “Absolutely they hurt. I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer. I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.”

Following the success of her star-loved line of dresses, Victoria is getting back into the denim game with the spring relaunch of her jeans collection. “I’m such a perfectionist,” she explains of taking a few seasons off from denim design. “I’ve worked really hard [with my team] to get it right.”

And this time around, it was all about the silhouette: “Long, slim legs. Really good design. I’m not saying that you’ve got to be a stick to wear them. You can be all different shapes and sizes.”

Pick up Glamour’s March issue, on newsstands February 9, or visit Glamour.com to hear more from Victoria.

Miss America 2010: Caressa Cameron

2010-02-01T13:03:00.000-08:00

A 22-year-old Virginia woman who said she once thought her only talent was singing is the nation's newest Miss America, emerging from a field of 53 contestants picked for their beauty, compassion and interview savvy.

Caressa Cameron, a broadcast journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University, now plans a second year away from college as she travels extensively to raise money for charity and carry the 89-year-old pageant's crown.

"I hope to gain inspiration, I hope to gain momentum so that when this 365 days is over, I can shoot through the moon," Cameron told The Associated Press.

Cameron, the first black Miss America since Ericka Dunlap in 2005, says she wants to get a master's degree and eventually become a news anchor.

Cameron, the daughter of a background researcher for the government and a contractor, said she was inspired to compete in pageants at age 14, when Miss Virginia 2003 Nancy Redd visited her school.

Black History Month: Madam CJ Walker

2010-01-31T21:33:00.000-08:00

Madam C.J. Walker was an African-American businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur and philanthropist. She made her fortune by developing and marketing a hugely successful line of beauty and hair products for black women, under the company she founded, Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company.

In 1906 she married Charles Joseph Walker, a St. Louis newspaperman[1], and changed her name to "Madam C.J. Walker". She founded the Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company to sell hair care products and cosmetics. Madam Walker divorced Walker in 1910 and moved her growing manufacturing operations from St. Louis to a new industrial complex in Indianapolis. By 1917 she had the largest business in the United States owned by an African-American.

“ I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations...I have built my own factory on my own ground.[2] ”

Walker saw her personal wealth not as an end in itself, but as a means to promote economic opportunities for others, especially black people. She took great pride in the profitable employment — and alternative to domestic labor — that her company afforded many thousands of black women who worked as commissioned agents. Her agents could earn from $5 to $15 per day in an era when unskilled white laborers were making about $11 per week.[3] Marjorie Joyner, who started work as one of her employees, went on to lead the next generation of African-American beauty entrepreneurs.

Walker was known for her philanthropy, leaving two-thirds of her estate to educational institutions and charities, including the NAACP, the Tuskegee Institute and Bethune-Cookman College. In 1919, her $5,000 pledge to the NAACP's anti-lynching campaign was the largest gift the organization had ever received.

Ms. Walker was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1992 and in 2002, Molefi Kete Asante listed Madam C. J. Walker on his list of 100 Greatest African Americans.[6]. On 28 January, 1998 the USPS, as part of it's Black Heritage Series, issued the Madam C.J. Walker Commemorative stamp.

Paris Hilton forays into launching lingerie and swimwear:

2010-01-31T13:04:00.000-08:00

PARIS HILTON is planning to boost her assets with a new range of cleavage-enhancing underwear.

The socialite has amassed a business empire which includes a shoe collection, fragrances, handbags, hair extensions and clothes.

Now Hilton is adding her to entrepreneurial ventures with a new range of lingerie and swimwear, which will launch later this year (10).

And the flat-chested star, who opted out of a breast enhancement operation because she was scared of surgery, is especially pleased with her design for a push-up bra.
She says, "In my lingerie line, I have a bra that I designed for flat-chested girls and it makes your boobs look huge! People think it's fake boobs. Everyone's like, 'Did you…?' I'm like 'No!' It makes me look like a double-D. I'm flat chested compared to most girls in Hollywood."

Keep it real: Tyra Banks' hair

2009-09-09T11:57:00.000-07:00

Meeeeeeooooow!

So Tyra decided to show her "real hair" on her TV show! I think Tyra is the next generation of Oprah and one of the most successful models-turned-businesswomen! But I have mixed feelings about Tyra's revelation though!

While Tyra still looks fierce with her "real hair" and much better, in this kitten's opinion, than the wigs and weaves she wears, it's still chemically processed! I want to see Tyra with it ALL the way natural--kinks, curls, waves, whatever she got!

Her "real hair" looks really nice styled, but if she wears her hair now, instead of wigs and weaves, she'll end up with horribly damaged hair! Plus she's on TV, so she has to keep fresh styles (otherwise we'd have to bring out our claws and clown)! So ultimately, I guess this is the closest we'll get to seeing Tyra's real hair!

Love the skin you're in!

2009-08-31T21:42:00.001-07:00

By Cairo Love
The first thing someone notices about you is your outer exterior otherwise known as your appearance. Your skin is the canvas of your body and who wants a messy canvas? Not you i hope. Cairo love has three simple steps of skin care routine to ensure you always shine through and through.

Step one: cleanse
Makeup and dirt clings to the surface of your face so it is important to wash away these impurities. Always use lukewarm water and work up a rich lather and use circular motions to cleanse your face. Don’t forget to do the same thing to your neck, .a lot of dirt from your face resurfaces on your neck as well!! Rinse with lukewarm water and follow up with cool water.

Step 2: tone
You can use rosewater (combination skin), azulene (for dry skin) or lactic acid toner (for oily skin) to tone your face. Toner’s restore the ph balance to your skin and close up the pores in your face. Witch Hazel is another natural toner that works wonders! Essentially it perks up your skin. A happy face is a happy you!

Step 3: moisturize
This step is essential to maintain a youthful skin appearance. Moisturize face and neck. If you apply moisture immediately after you have taken a bath or shower, the steam from the hot water will help in absorbing the moisture and softening of your skin.

An important aspect for overall skin care is to exercise! Without a healthy blood supply that is provided when you are active, your skin cannot be healthy (texture and quality).

Cairo Love moment: give your face a steam procedure! Run hot water in the sink or heat water in a pot on your stove, when the steam is at a comfortable level, place a towel over your head as u lean in the sink or over the pot to allow steam to enter your pores. You will begin to perspire, which will release impurities from your skin. Do this once a week. Leave your comments!

Upcoming topics: special products for problem and acne skin, importance of wearing best colors to compliment your skin tone, grooming checklist, living a model life, and much more!

Shoe Junkie: Christian Louboutin

2009-08-15T08:59:00.001-07:00

Talk about FIERCE! Ohhhwee, this kitten definitely has claws! MEOW!

These shoes need to get outta my dreams and into my closet!! Talk about orgasmic, the sight of the leopard print ankle boots that Ciara had on and especially the fringe booties Rihanna was rockin' got me closer to an orgasm than any of my ex-boyfriends ever did!

For a self-proclaimed shoe junkie, with well over 200 shoes stock-piled in my spare bedroom like a Montana militia's weapons cache, seeing his designs makes me want to trade them ALL in for one pair of Louboutins (well ok, maybe not, but I'd trade at least 50)!!

Here's some information you may have never know about Christian Louboutin, my new hero!

Christian Louboutin (born 1964) is a footwear designer who launched his line of high-end women's shoes in France in 1991. Since 1992, his designs have incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature. On March 27, 2007, Christian Louboutin filed an application for U.S. trademark protection of this red sole design.

Rihanna rockin some baaaaaddd assssss Louboutin booties!

Christian Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72 inches) and higher. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.”

In his U.S. trademark application, Louboutin explains the inception of the signature red soles:

"In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture."

Ciara stunts on em in leopard Louboutins!

Louboutin also received inspiration for his infamous, lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early twenties. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign that forbade women to enter while wearing sharp stilettos, for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. "I wanted to defy that," Louboutin has said. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered."

While I (and probably you too, lol) can't afford Louboutins, a girl can dream...can't she...

Meeeeeeoooooow!!!
