Usher covers the new issue of Vibe. Not really a surprise since it's Ushermania right now, but is anyone as interested as me in learning the truth about the Chris Stokes B2K Immature drama.

Nas New Album Cover
The image displayed on the cover of Nas's new album, dropping on July 3rd, is consistent with his original N*gger path despite the changing of the album's name due to pressure for critics and marketing executives.
50 Cent's House Catches On Fire
Everyone's favorite man to hate is probably pissed as hell right about now because his $2.4 million dollar home in Long Island went up in flames last night. I'm not pointing any fingers but I feel like this is reminiscent of the 1994 incident with Left Eye.
A multimillion-dollar Long Island home at the center of a dispute between Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent and his former girlfriend was destroyed by a suspicious fire early Friday. The blaze occurred just days after a heated confrontation inside the woman's attorney's office over the home. 50 Cent does not live in the home and apparently wasn't there at the time.
The rapper's ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and two of her children, including 50 Cent's son, were among the injured. The other three adults in the home were not immediately identified. Earlier this year, Tompkins filed suit against 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, claiming he had promised her the $2.4 million house more than a decade ago but that since their breakup he now wants to evict her and their 10-year-old son.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights Version 3
Three videos and still none of them really make sense. F*ck it. Let's do 3 more?
Dear Tyra,
I'm a bit confused that you feel you are a mixture between Martha Stewart and Oprah in the June issue of The New York Times Magazine. While I applaud entrepreneurship as much as the next black woman. The only things I see are no high fashion top model winners, constant morality arguments with the guests you invite on your show, and an occasional emergence of "GHETTO" Tyra. I'm not too sure that all of these actions combined are comparable to Oprah, who's philanthropy outshines the most altruistic of people, or Martha, who's business savvy and aggression got her jail time. If you most compare yourself to someone compare who you are now to your former self. Because I'm sure the women before you had no idea they would ever accomplish as much as they have. I recognize your ingenuity and give you props for becoming a multi media success.
Honestly Yours,
Usher Has A B*TCHFEST
So Usher decided to let everybody know how he feels about people prying into his BIZNESS. So people listen up and let the gossip continue! I mean what do you expect, you're a celebrity, get yourself together. Oh Usher!
Haute Flash: Nixon Drops Summer Collection '08
Classic Rotolog style watch
Corporate-inspired wristwatch
For a man, a wristwatch is a fashion essential to consummate any look you're going for. Be it a prep, corporate, or urban-inspired look, a wristwatch adds that level of functional sophistication that rounds it all off. Courtesy of California watch brand, Nixon and their new 2008 summer collection, possessing a watch of that caliber is all the more possible.
For their 2008 summer collection, Nixon kept the classic design of the Rotolog watch, but splashed on some warm colors to bring out that summer feel. The diversity of the collection is highlighted by the contemporary styled silver wristwatches that can work well in a corporate scene. Furthermore, the slender nature of Nixon's summer timepieces is perfect for pairing it with a weather-friendly short-sleeve shirt or a long-sleeve shirt for say the office environment. The face of these Nixon watches are not too bulky or large to pose aesthetic problems with the cuff of a dress shirt or when worn with a suit.
The rest of the collection can be viewed below.

T.I. To Get MTV Reality Series... Why?
I'd rather watch Fantasia try to read a book than turn on this bullsh*t:
[MTV] will follow the hip-hop star as he performs more than 1,000 of community service before beginning to serve his one-year prison sentence next spring. Ish Entertainment is behind the untitled series, which has scored an eight-episode order from MTV.
Cameras already chronicled T.I.'s release from house arrest, and shooting will start in earnest this summer, leading up to his return to jail in early 2009. MTV plans to air the show some time soon after that.
We're definitely going to have to file this one under: Who gives a f*ck. Why would I want to watch T.I. picking up trash on the side of the road???

Haute or Not: Viktor and Rolf Video
Hmmm...now this one is a bit strange. Viktor and Rolf released this video to create a buzz for their fall/winter 2008-2009 collection; their soundtrack intoned it and now there's only one word on their models' lips: "NO". But the question remains: what exactly are they saying "No" to? In this contribution to Political Fashion, the really interesting thing is what we don't find out...I'm going to give this a Not but maybe I'm just not deep enough to get it. Though it is pretty interesting.
Here's their actual runway show which coordinates with the video:

Haute Flash: LL Cool J for Sears
Edward Lampert is determined to prove to Wall Street he's a retailer after all.
The Sears Holdings Corp. chairman and his team are making some long-awaited merchandising moves in the hedge fund billionaire's retail empire in an attempt to reenergize Sears' apparel offering, stimulate traffic and generate some buzz. And key among them is taking the well-trodden path of launching a celebrity label, albeit with an unexpected partner: rapper LL Cool J.
Sears has teamed up with the hip-hop veteran to launch a brand called LL Cool J for Sears. The collection of casualwear for juniors, young men's, girls' and boys' will roll out to 450 of Sears' 900 stores in September and could generate as much as $100 million to $150 million in its first year, sources said.

Sears' Hip-Hop Hope: Store Signs LL Cool J To Do Apparel Brand
By Julee Kaplan
More info after the jump!
If it succeeds, the brand could go a long way toward easing some of the growing skepticism over Lampert's strategy for Sears Holdings, which combines Sears and Kmart, and whether the conglomerate is more of a financial play than a retail one. If all goes as planned, the LL Cool J brand would be a boost for the store's "softer side," said Irv Neger, Sears' senior vice president of apparel, serving an urban consumer the retailer hasn't been addressing. "We know this [urban] customer is in the store, but it's a customer we weren't reaching. With this brand, we see tremendous growth opportunity."
As for what LL Cool J knows about women's apparel, the hip-hop artist insists he's had plenty of experience.
"I was raised by a matriarch, I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes," he said. "My main concern with juniors is to make sure the fit is right. The fabrics have to feel nice on a woman's body, but sizing and fit are very important. I know that if she comes in, puts it on and it doesn't fit, she won't come back. Clothes have to make a woman feel good, relaxed and sexy. We are going to be constantly looking at fine-tuning the fit and we'll get it right."
But Sears is going against the grain by tapping the 40-year-old rapper. Retailers seem to be launching celebrity lines as quickly as they're marking down in these tough economic circumstances, but most lately have been signing younger, fresher faces — Avril Lavigne will soon launch at Kohl's and Rachel Bilson is doing a line for DKNY Jeans.
Sears executives are hoping LL Cool J's longevity in the business will be a plus rather than a negative in these flash-in-the-pan times.
The store is building shops-in-shops for the brand in each department. In the juniors area, the LL Cool J brand will sit near the current mix of sportswear from Southpole, Levi's, Personal Identity and Joe Boxer.
"The shop-in-shops in each category will help to show customers our new point of view," Neger said.
The collection will retail on the higher end of its mix in juniors — from $22 for a graphic T-shirt to $50 for a pair of jeans.
Evidence of LL Cool J's involvement is evident throughout — from an embroidered tattoo on the back of a jacket to song lyrics printed on a T-shirt. By holiday, the collection will grow in number of stockkeeping units, extend into 600 doors and launch accessories, Neger said. With LL Cool J's wide appeal, Neger said he can envision the brand extending into new categories ranging from bedding to fitness equipment.
The entertainer, whose given name is James Todd Smith, has been building his music career since 1984, when Def Jam Recordings co-founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin signed him as a flagship artist for their label. He was just 16 years old. Since then, the Queens, N.Y., native has released 12 albums; 10 of them reached multiplatinum status and the last two reached gold. His 13th record, titled "Exit 13," will hit stores in July.
And, like many of his peers, LL Cool J has broadened his scope beyond hip-hop. He's appeared in several movies, including the upcoming "The Deal" with Meg Ryan and William H. Macy, and has been featured on Fox's "House" and NBC's "30 Rock."
The entertainer also has written a children's book, "And the Winner Is"; a workout book, "LL Cool J's Platinum Workout," and an autobiography, "I Make My Own Rules." His men's apparel brand, Todd Smith, sells at Macy's and specialty stores, competing with Sean John.
"I have always had a hand in fashion in some capacity [as the face of brands such as Kangol and Fubu], but I have never embraced a brand the way I will embrace this," LL Cool J said. "The LL Cool J name is a brand I have been building for 25 years and I didn't want to do this line with just any store. I wanted to wait until I felt comfortable enough to take the leap."
Neger said that even before he met with LL Cool J, he was working with Regatta, the Li & Fung-owned production house, to bring more fashion into Sears, which is based in Hoffman Estates, Ill. Regatta executives eventually signed LL Cool J, and is handling the production of LL Cool J for Sears apparel.
With Regatta's capabilities, Neger said there should be no problem shipping new product monthly. Regatta has become known as a force in the industry, producing a series of retail-exclusive brands including Simply Vera Vera Wang and Daisy Fuentes for Kohl's and Metro 7 for Wal-Mart.
Evoking his youth in Queens, where he shopped in Sears with his grandfather, LL Cool J said he wanted to launch the line in a store with which he had an emotional connection. He said he also wanted his brand to appeal to a wide audience of working families.
"We used to run up and down the aisles, we would play games in the store," he said. "I used to beg my grandfather to take me to Sears and then to get some fast food after. I have the fondest memories of the store, so this partnership just felt right."
Neger said he sees the partnership as long-term, with the brand becoming a core part of the overall structure at Sears. The line is part of Sears' overall turnaround strategy to fill a void in the store and address more of what shoppers are looking for, Neger said. The retailer has adopted a specialty store mentality.
"Tough economic times create evolution and we are going to take the steps to develop and make us right for our customers," Neger said.
"We are going to take a lot more risks in juniors," he said. "It's all about style, quality and value in juniors and we plan to move quickly, reacting to the trends and constantly have new merchandise on the floor."
Neger said there will be a major marketing push behind the LL Cool J brand as well, both in print and TV.
The ads will feature LL Cool J himself, along with his family — his wife, Simone, son Najee and daughters Italia, Samaria and Nina. The idea, the rapper said, is to bring the brand to the whole family by showcasing his own family in the campaign. In addition, LL Cool J said he will be working on more ways to give customers access to him, by holding in-store contests where a shopper can win a chance to hang with him in the studio or on the set of a video.
"It's all about making the great life attainable," LL Cool J said.
Haute Mess: Jellie Gladiators
Warranted that gladiator sandals are all the rave this summer, but they didn't need to go to these lengths. Jellie gladiators?!?! A pang of uneasiness seriously enters my tummy as I envision hoards of people prancing about with these new jellie gladiator sandals thinking their chic. Jellies evoke fond memories of when we were eight years old by the seashore or at the odd kiddies pool party and I think those childhood moments need not find its way over to elements of adult fashion. I think I like gladiator sandals just as is--leathery and all!

Colgate MaxFresh Video Music Competition Finalist Selected
*Check back with us later today for an exclusive one-on-one interview with Bryan-Michael Cox!
Last month we let you know about the Colgate MaxFresh Video Competition where you got the chance to record a demo with five time grammy winning super producer Bryan-Michael Cox. After more than 300 MySpace users submitted their music videos and more than 70,000 votes five semi-finalists have been selected.
A panel of three celebrity judges – Bryan Michael Cox (producer for artists such as Mariah Carey and Usher), Danyel Smith (editor-in-chief of Vibe magazine) and Tito El Bambino (Latin singing superstar) - are now looking for music fans to help them determine the winner.
MySpace users can provide their opinions on the five semi-finalists by logging onto www.myspace.com/colgatemaxfresh which will contribute to the judge's final decision.
Check out the five finalists and and more info about the competition under the cut:
The Finalists:
Click the name to see their music video and vote for your favorite.
Broderick Young, age 20, St. Louis, MO
Jen Senese, age 23, Chandler, AZ
Kareema Reid, age 28, Lansdale, PA
Erika David, age 19, Las Vegas, NV
Matthew Gallina, age 28, Springfield, IL
The Competition
Artists hoping to become a household name no longer have to wait on long audition lines or move to Hollywood in search of an agent to get their shot at stardom. Unsigned talent can take their voices to the web by competing in a new online talent search hosted by Colgate-Palmolive, the makers of Colgate® Max Fresh® toothpaste, and MySpace TV.
The winner of this year’s Max Fresh® Video Music Competition will participate in a professional recording session and video production, featuring an original song written and produced by Bryan-Michael Cox, and the opportunity to perform their original song at the All-Access Lounge - the pre-party to Z100 FM’s Jingle Ball, one of New York City’s most popular concert events.
Commenting on his role as a judge and the opportunity to work with undiscovered talent, Bryan-Michael Cox said: “Standing out in the industry is an incredibly difficult task. I decided to partner with Colgate® Max Fresh® because the contest gives us a way to find fresh new talent from across the country and the online entry makes it easy for the contestants to share an audition video with a wide audience. It’s the first time I’ve ever written a song without knowing who will end up singing it. That creates an element of excitement for me in addition to finding a fresh voice.”
Spencer Pingel, General Manager of Oral Care at Colgate-Palmolive, added: “The Colgate® Max Fresh® brand is proud to partner with MySpaceTV to hold this online talent search. The Max Fresh® Video Music Competition will create an interactive, online forum of musical talent, allow our aspiring contestants to share their audition video with a wide, receptive audience, and best of all, grant our winner an opportunity of a lifetime.”

Haute Mess: Madge in Cannes
It must be her face cuz' it ain't her @$$ ...MADGE IS TIP DRILL in Cannes! This looks like Grandma's Moulin Rouge costume gone bad! All she's missing is a headband with a feather and a long cigarette...Her hair and make-up were haute though, too bad the rest of it was a mess!
Dear R. Kelly,
I know that I may be burned, tarred, and feathered for saying this but it is about DAMN time for this child pornography trial to begin. You are the only person in history to have the pleasure of dropping five studio albums, embark on a 36 city tour, and release 22 chapters of "Trapped In The Closet", with 14 counts of soliciting sex from a minor. It has been six long A** years and as much as love me some Kelly, I hates me some provert. As this trial begins, my only hope is that you see there is something terribly wrong with having sex with children and by children I mean ANYONE between the ages of 0 and 18. Oh Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby......
Honestly Yours,

Akon Admits He's a FAKE!
Last month Smoking Gun broke the story that our favorite Konvict, Akon, was a fraud. And that his infamous legacy as the head of a car theft ring was nothing but a marketing ploy. Turns out that the "17 years" he was facing was a lie and the "4 1/2 years" he spent in prison was also a lie. The only felony Akon ever committed was possession of a firearm and a guilty plea he was given three years probation. All I can say is it most be sad times when one must lie about who he is for others to like him. I feel like I finished that behavior in the first grade. But hey some people stay six FOREVER. Check out the video of Akon admitting his fakeness!

New Usher Video "Moving Moutains"
Here is Usher's third single and video for "Moving Mountains". The video picks up where "Love In This Club" left off. The video is really cool, but I'm not sure how I feel about this song. Anyways, Usher's fifth studio album, "Here I Stand", hits stores next week on the May 27th. I'm not that excited, hopefully, there is some better material on the album because I really loved the "Confessions" album.
Moment of Lenzism
I'm sure you've all heard the story of Soldier Girl. That bi-polar chick who was WILDIN' in the subway. A few weeks after the video debuted on the internet she's since been arrested and became an internet phenomenon. The price of fame...
Anyway, someone reposted the video with subtitles of what it sounds like she is sayin' and it is HILARIOUS!
Press play:
I love my people!
Haute Flash: Birth Control Never Looked Better...
Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturers of Yaz, a birth control pill, are looking to fashion to reinvent the perception of birth control. Bayer have teamed up with Project Runway judge and ex-fashion director at Elle Magazine, Nina Garcia, and Step Up Women's Network to launch the Yaz: Step Up and Go Beyond Contest, a design challenge to reinvigorate the iconic birth control case into a more sophisticated purse for women. The chosen design will replace the humdrum case that Yaz pills are currently carried in plus the winning contestant stands to received $10,000 towards investing in their career as a designer. Hmmm...parading birth control pills about is soon to become a chic look!
Earlier in the month McDonald's went for a revamp through fashionable uniforms now birth control pills? I'm not sure what to make of this, but I guess now women will feel a lot more comfortable toting around their fashion-forward Yaz birth control carrying purse!
Design submissions end June 30, 2008 and you can click here to enter. Winners will be announced at the New York Fashion Week for fall 2008.

Street Style: Introducing Summer Trends -- A Staple Sandal
Name: Ashley
Spotted: Blackburn Cafe, Howard University
Spotted: Blackburn Cafe, Howard University
I love the detailing on Ashley's sandals that gives it that safari chic look thats going to be big this summer. Also, going for a sandal that has an ankle strap of some sort will only flatter, accentuate, and draw admirers to the physique of your ankle/lower leg. The Etro sandals really capture the gladiator sandal trend with the volume of straps it has. Ms. Ashley's, on the other hand, is a more delicate rendition of the gladiator sandal with its single strap. In appreciating the entire sandal complete with its creative ankle straps, it is only natural for the movement of the eyes to welcome the beauty of the lower leg (and hopefully your entire outfit if your as stylish as Ms. Ashley here)! So do away with those flip flops and put your best foot forward people and you can't go wrong this summer!

HAUTE MESS: Disney Couture Pirate's Noose Necklace
Okay, so this necklace is wrong for sooo many reasons! (click above to view) After all the incidents with nooses this past year in Jena, University of Maryland, and Golfweek cover- this is just inappropriate even if it's a pirate's noose and not that of a black man! At no point or time will nooses ever be en vogue- it's just too touchy to even go there! They also knew that this would be a touchy item so they chose to have an Asian chick model it! Ugh, I really don't know what Disney was thinking by letting this get past the drawing board. It's just racially insensitive and a haute mess!
Haute Flash: Rihanna and Victoria's Secret????
Rihanna may be on the verge of becoming a Victoria's Secret model - or at least that's what Rihanna's people are telling us. It all started last week when Rihanna half jokingly told a UK magazine that may be interested in creating her very own line of lingerie.
That's when, according to one of Rihanna's peeps, Victoria's Secret came calling. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "No one even contacted [Victoria's Secret], they contacted us ... and they were throwing around all kinds of numbers and ideas. Everyone's excited, especially Rihanna."
This chick is really on a roll! First her line of 'brellas' for Totes and now this? Wow- that's haute girl! I just hope it's not all patent leather...
Music Video: N.E.R.D. - Everybody Nose
The official video for N.E.R.D.'s new single Everybody Nose. Lesbian power couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson make a cameo in the video. Honestly, I don't even think it was a cameo. I think the bitch just heard there was coke in the bathroom. Look how confused she looks in the video lol.
Kanye Tops MTV's Hottest MC's In The Game List
MTV has released their now controversial Hottest MC In The Game List and this years number one spot actually does not surprise me at all. And I'm sure not the rapper either...
In summer 2007, the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust sat down and had another controversial roundtable debate. Unlike previous discussions, the trustees devised a list of not the greatest ever, but the Hottest MCs in the Game right then. The rankings were based on lyrics, flow, impact on the game, success and swagger. The roundtable recently reconvened and came up with a brand-new list of Hottest MCs. Our experts used the same criteria, but only judged on the past year of hip-hop.
Why He's Hot
With all due respect to the Diddys and Busta Rhymeses of the world, Kanye West has surpassed everyone as the best live performer in hip-hop. Grooming himself on stadium tours with Jay-Z, U2 and the Rolling Stones over the years has done him good. Even if West didn't release another rap this year, he'd still be the hottest for his Glow in the Dark Tour alone. Without exaggeration, it's the greatest one-man show put on by a hip-hop artist, possibly ever. Pure expression, no irony, just an irrefutable avowal that he is the game's most imaginative visionary right now. 'Ye's sold-out set is an orgy of lights, classic songs and conceptual genius. You've never seen anything like it.
Check out the rest of the list at MTV.
