.Tracey Morgan & His fiance: Really attractive couple. Tracey gives us a little comedy as well on the red carpet. Too funny!
Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa: Wiz is like; ” Red carpet wear?” LOL! We can never get bored of you two.
The 2013 Billboard Awards fashion statements made me ecstatic this year. The were a few who left me confused, however overall I was pleased. Not too much to really say about them. Remember, these are just my opinions. I am not the end all, be all in fashion; I should be. LOL! But I’m not. I welcome all opinions and critics of myself as well.
Fashion & Fashionably Not,
New York Vixen
Amber Rose: Super cute! Black on black silk chiffon dress, w/ black sheer covering. I would have preferred a pop of color on her lips,
or on a clutch bag would have made this look more refined. Great look post-maternity!
Chris Brown: IN LOVE! Not too much bling, and the color scheme is phenomenal. I applaud you and your stylist!
Emmy Rossum: Perfect! Sleek, form fitting, wore elegantly. Saay but classy. We love!
Kelly Rowland: Beautiful as always. I truly appreciate the fashion transformation she has done post “Destiny’s Child.” Ms. Rowland is beautiful without even trying. Your makeup artist should know when styling Black women, while wearing colors of the silver & gray families, we need a pop of color on the cheek or lips. The pink lip she chose wasn’t complimenting, to the color of your dress. This is my only critic Ms. Rowland; you look amazing either way.
Ke$ha: ALL WRONG!!!!!!!!! The dress would have been beautiful without the slits on the sides. And who’s idea was it for you to wear wedged sandals?Your earrings are nice………………moving on.
Madonna: I love you! Your bad ass and you know it! All of us 70′s & 80′s babies get it. Only you can do this and it be ok!
Miguel: Too much black, very sharp, although too much. love you shoes though. You lady/friend: ALL WRONG! She is supposed to compliment you.
Stana Katic: Love your look, the belt; I feel would have looked better in gold. But you wore it well! Your hair FABULOUS!
Taylor Swift: Looked great! Your dress is gorgeous! As a hairstylist; I’m wonder when will you change. Your clothes tend to look amazingbut your hair is always basic. Try stepping out the box, it’s about time.
I’m not sure who this is……Why she wore this? I’m just clueless. But in case you bump into her; please inform her Halloween is October 31.
Thank you!
Nicki Minaj: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Not to much breast, but just enough. Your dress form-fitting & flowy. My favorite look for the night!!! Oscar ( Nicki’s hairstylist) FLAWLESS BABY! STANDING OVATION!!!

Jay-Z’s protégé J. Cole has bumped up the release of his sophomore album, Born Sinner, to June 18 — one week earlier than previously announced, a source close to the rapper tells The Hollywood Reporter.
“I wanted to come out earlier, but I kept hitting these creative zones where I couldn’t finish,” Cole said to THR in November. “’Cause I kept making more and more and more. It … was effortless, how I made this album.
The source adds that Cole moved Born Sinner’s release to compete with Kanye West’s next album, which is strongly rumored to be dropping on June 18, one month after he plays Saturday Night Live. Says the source: “J. has been working nonstop to put out his album a week earlier—living in the studio, bringing in full orchestras and a choir.”
In hip hop, bravado can yield big reward (just ask West). Still, Born Sinner’s first single, “Power Trip,” is presently sitting at just No. 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. (He also launched a video series leading up to Born Sinner’s release.)
But this shouldn’t rattle Cole. “Work Out,” the biggest single from his 2011 debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, peaked at No. 13 on the Hot 100, before the RIAA certified it double-platinum in 2012. And upon its release, The Sideline Story unexpectedly shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s albums chart, with little radio support. Cole was later nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist (which he lost to Bon Iver).
Though “Power Trip” features guest vocals from Miguel, most of Born Sinner is a true solo effort for the confident Cole. He produced that single, and is said to have produced most of the album.
His line of headphones may not be in stores yet but Chief Keef is already giving fans a preview of what they can expect.
The following images were posted on Keef’s Instagram account. They feature blue headphones with red details and a caption that reads “#MyBeatsInStoresNearYouSoon.”
It has been reported that Keef would have his own version of the popular Beats By Dre headphones for some time. As Fakeshoredrive reported in 2012, Keef tweeted an image of the design, which then featured stars. The design appeared to be inspired by the Chicago, Illinois flag. Last year, Chief Keef signed a 3-album deal with Interscope Records for a reported $6 million. Last week, Keef also announced a partnership with Gucci Mane.
Singer opens up about career troubles and domestic abuse.
Kelly Rowland has been carrying around a lot of emotional laundry for the last decade, and she’s finally cleaning out her hamper. Rowland debuted her powerful new single, “Dirty Laundry,” Wednesday (May 15), opening up about being jealous of Beyoncé’s success, the troubles of going solo and struggling through an abusive relationship.
Penned by her tour-mate, The Dream, for more than five straight minutes Rowland airs out every inch of her inner turmoil, admitting to hiding behind a persona (“When you make pain look this good it never wears out”) and feeling insecure about going solo (“Post-’Survivor,’ she on fire/Who wanna hear my bulls—?”).
At the root of Rowland’s troubles appears to be an ex-boyfriend who not only physically abused the Texas native, but turned the now 32-year-old away from her parents, and Bey (“Don’t nobody love you but me/ Not ya mama, not ya daddy, and especially not B.”)
Further in the song, she recounts eventually coming clean to her Destiny’s Child “sister,” who urged her to leave the relationship.
The media has long pitted Rowland against Bey. Following the end of DC, both women dropped solo albums within a year of each other, but it was 2003′s Dangerously in Love that catapulted Beyoncé to super-stardom, selling more than 4 million records, and winning five Grammys. In comparison, her former group member’s Simply Deep debut pushed only 600,000 units domestically, but clocked over 2 million copies in worldwide sales.
Opening up like never before, Rowland’s “Dirty Laundry” is not only lyrically on point, but misses no steps in the production department, making for true musical synergy.
Her forthcoming Talk a Good Game release is due out next month, while “Dirty Laundry” will be available on iTunes May 21.
Rowland is also prepping a joint tour with The Dream launching May 23.
