Yummy Pics: The stars come out for July 4th

When July 4th comes around each year, Hip-Hop and R&B artists find going to BBQ's a thing of the past. Instead, they opt to party all night at annual parties or clubs. Here are some pics of Rihanna and company in Vegas and a couple of pics from Diddy's annual white party.....
Jamie Foxx was in Vegas on his "Blame It" tour and greeted Rihanna at a night spot....
Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Jay's friend Ty Ty hung out with a screwed face Rihanna. She doesn't look too happy....
And then there was this. Some of the fellow bloggers have been giving Rihanna some slack for putting her pasties on display all willy nilly. I for one have given up on this girl's fashion choices, so it really is a big fat whatever to me. Next.... Over on the other side of the pond was Diddy's all white party. Here he is posing with Chris Brown. Is it me or does it seem like Chris doesn't smile anymore? Come to think of it neither does Rihanna....
Ms. Amber Rose was in attendance without Kanye. I hear that she has been attending events without Kanye now more than often. Word is, she and Chris were caught doing the tongue tango on the dance floor at Diddy's party. Of course, it's just rumors for now but I wonder how Kanye would feel about that?....

And the Cannon's were there. Mariah looks really fresh and nice and Nick looks like he's going to the prom; a white fedora, really Nick?

Yummy Pics: Michael Jackson's last moments

Before Michael passed away, he was gearing up to perform in concert for a total of 50 show's at London's O2 Arena kicking off on July 13th, 2009. Of course he wouldn't get a chance to perform given his sudden departure from us.

I have officially gotten it together after his passing. A part of me was a little ticked with the media for becoming his best friend after driving his image in the the dirt but hey, they say that-that is the price of fame.

Anyway, a day before Michael passed he was photoed during rehearsals for his concert and here are the pics.
One thing that can be said is whenever Michael performed, no matter what his rumored state was, he would always put on a great show and would appear to be in great shape. RIP Mike.

Yummy Pics: Beyonce at the Garden

Beyonce kick started her North American "I Am....Sasha Fierce" tour last night (06.21) here in NYC at Madison Square Garden, and judging by the concert reviews I read today the girl hasn't lost her touch one bit. Check out the pics....

On the subject of Beyonce, thanks to You Tube, we get to see what exactly went down in the arena last night. Based on the video, Bey lit that garden on fire with a show that had folks leaving without their voices. She even brought out hubby Jay to perform "Crazy In Love" and "Deja Vu".



I am a little spiced that I couldn't make it last night or even tonight; especially when I attended her concert in 07' (The Beyonce Experience) hoping to see she and Jay take to the stage; she brought out not one other soul besides herself, I was a little bitter. The show looks like it's worth the cash though, especially with the ticket price slash.

Yummy Pics: Kelis is blue

Figuratively and unfortunately literally. The expecting milkshake supplier was spotted on the red carpet at the "Four Seasons Of Hope" gala here in NYC on Tuesday (06.16) strapped with blue from head to belly topped off with matted red lips.

Not the best we've seen Kelis but she is fierce nonetheless; not all preggo's can pull a look like this off..she's wearing heels!.... Rumor has it, Kelis has been everything but mum on the fact that Nas is looking to leave her high and dry, penniless. According to reports, she says that she is broke despite Nas' riches. I didn't know Nas had "riches" but OK.

I hate to be the one to be the reality teller, but why are women still depending on men to bring the bacon home? Are we not in 2009?! You are suppose be prepared for the unexpected and on a superficial level be able to take a fella out here and there and pick up the tab at times, I'm just sayin'...

Regardless of anything, I know that Kelis will hop right back up from all of this, if it is all true. The best revenge is success, don't ever let them see you down.

Yummy Pics: Summer Jam 09'

Hot 97's Summer Jam went down yesterday (06.07) with acts like T-Pain, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Lil Kim taking to the stage. Jay-Z reportedly performed his new release "Death Of Autotunes" and I hear the crowd went crazy, here are the pics....
Mary was there to grace the stage. I heard her song with Drake and to make a long story short, it's going to take some time for me to forgive her for that.....
Lil Kim also performed. There still is no word on the rumor that she will be the third member of TLC, how random huh?!....
T-Pain performed with his big ass chain, literally. He spoke out about his thoughts on Jay's song, check it out here....
And then there is Drake. I think he is a cool artists, but I can't help but to hear Lil Wayne every time I hear his song. At first I was feeling it now I'm starting to get annoyed. It is good to see that he is starting to stomp with the big dogs.

Yummy Pics: From the looks of things...Nas is doing just fine

Ain't no party like a single man party cause a single man party don't stop. Whew..what I wouldn't do to be a fly on the wall in this hotel room Monday night (06.01); what a way to usher in the new month of June.

Maxwell put up some photo's of he and Nas getting down and Carribean with some girls out in Turks and Caicos and decided to post them up on his twitter. Trust I am not mad, party as hard as you can until the casket closes, but Nas looks like he doesn't have a care in the world, no?

Hmmm...something tells me the females out there are not going to be feeling this one. If it makes y'all feel any better I'm sure he's hurting inside....
Why else would he empty an entire bottle of Patron?

Is Nas in the wrong for partying it up while he is going through a divorce? The woman in me wants to knock him out but then again he is getting a divorce ~shrugs~ why sit and mope about something that seems to be done. I guess those rumors about he and Kelis working things out were a tad false huh :-(?

Yummy Pics: Keri Hilson gets X-Rated on stage

As you know, Keyshia Cole is currently on tour and she decided to bring along folks like The Dream and the lovely Keri Hilson. The crew performed here in NYC at the WAMU theater at MSG on Sunday (May 24) and Ms. Keri over here decided to give the crowd their money's worth. Here are the pics....
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Keri Hilson, I think that her music is great and she is a sight for sore eyes but this nonsense is just a little too much. When she started out with being this female that is sexual but still carried herself like a lady, I thought it was cute. She would brag about grabbing Lil Wayne's crotch and getting slapped on the booty by the likes of Kanye West and it would be seen as humorous; but at what point is it considered a little much?..... Have we reached that point yet? I guess if Janet Jackson and Ciara can get a little dominatrix like and dry hump on stage, so can Keri.... right? Whatever the case may be, from the looks of things, seeing Keri in concert may be the best thing for the freak in you.

Yummy pics: Teyanna Taylor

Ms. Teyanna Taylor recently posted up some pics of herself on her twitter and the girl is fierce. I don't know much about her except for the fact that she is the prime example of a person who is famous for no reason exactly. She was supposed to put out an album in what seems like eons ago and still nothing.

She had a single that she dropped like 3+ years ago called "Google Me" and still nothing has come from it. The first time I got put on to Teyanna was when she did the rich-teen-brat show better known as Sweet 16 on MTV. She was introduced as an artist on Pharrell's label Star Trak. Ever since then, her album has been missing like Lady Gaga's pants....
If all fails, she can mos def add modeling to her resume because the girl has the looks. According to sources, we can expect an album from her later on this year.

Yummy Pics: Chris Brown spotted

Look who came out of hiding. Chris Brown was spotted at the Magic vs. Cavaliers game last night (05.24) in Orlando with good ol' pal Usher. Hmmm....that's funny, I thought Usher was talking smack a few months back about Chris and his actions against Rihanna. I guess they've moved past that, but what's going on with Chris' eye? Looks like the same girl that got to Charles got to Chris too....
Speaking of Chris, On this week's episode of "Certified" with yours truly as one of the panelist, we weigh in on who can make the certified comeback. Who do you think can make a comeback, Chris or Rihanna? Watch and place your votes here.

Yummy Pics: Kristina DeBarge + Amerie + Chrisette Michele

Just got more pics from the Island Def Jam Spring Collection extravaganza....

Chrisette was there and performed at the event. Being at number one on the Billboard charts really does wonders for the complexion I see....

Amerie was in the house and unveiled a photo for the promo of her new upcoming album "In Love & War". I just can't get with the red lip on her she is such a simple beauty, all she needs is some chapstic and cocoa butter and she would be good to go....

Introducing...Kristina DeBarge (center); Babyface's (pictured left) new protege and artist. Kristina comes from a long line of musically talented family members. If you haven't already noticed the last name maybe the song "Rhythm Of The Night" by ol' school all-brother R&B group DeBarge may ring a bell (is it me, or do we have a DeBarge out as an artist like every decade?!). This is of course not the most appropriate way to make an introduction, what with her panties being exposed by the bad, bad camera man, but hey this little lady just might be here to stay.

Yummy Pics: Rihanna gets rewarded

Rihanna has been showing face with grace these past few months, slowly but surely allowing us to remember how fabulous she was before the incident between she and Chris and even her leaked nude pics. There was an event that went down last night (05.20) called the Island Def Jam Spring Collection party thrown at the Stephen Weiss Studio here in NYC. Here are the pics....

Rihanna was presented with a plaque by label chairman L.A. Reid for achieving over 12 million records sold since her debut album Music Of The Sun. I have to admit, When Rihanna first came out I didn't think she would make it. She looked too much like Beyonce and it just seemed like Def Jam were trying to have her be the second coming by emulating what they presumed to be the best. But when she stepped out of the box with her third album and switched up her style major, I was impressed and had to have a change of heart.... Though I am still not sold on her singing the girl shines in front of a camera. Every artist and celebrity has something that works for them and Rihanna's photogenic qualities will most def take her far. As for this pic and judging by how his head is tilted, I take it L.A. Reid saw her nude pics.

....and not to rain on the parade but I think I am going to have to charge Rihanna with swagger jackin'; did she totally bite off Janelle Monae's signature hairstyle?!

Yummy Pics: A Knowles-Carter family affair

Beyonce and fam were photoed at a club named Saint Germain Club in Zurich over the weekend doing what they do best, entertaining. Here are the pics.

Solange was there and took to the stage. She reminds me of Alice from Alice in Wonderland with her bangs, very cute....

Jay was there to hang out with wifey and sister-in-law. More and more Jay reminds me of those men that sit in the park all day and battle each other in chess with a bottle of Heineken in one hand. He's been really laid back and care-free lately, I can dig it....

Black and White can do wonders for photo's, I felt like I was looking at stills from a Ralph Lauren advertisement. Beyonce looked like she got her drink on while she partied...good times.

Yummy Pics: Ciara performs

On Saturday (05.16), Ciara attended and performed at Z100's Zootopia 09' concert in New Jersey and from what I hear she brought the house down. Here are the pics....
The shoes look great as does her bod, I hear the album sales aren't looking as good; somehow I am still rooting for her....

And just like that, she transforms into her super ego, Super C. It's interesting, It seems as if Rihanna has now created and formulated her very own blueprint that everyone is interested in having a bite of. Is she the new queen?

Yummy Pics: Ciara out and about

It's looking like a Ciara-day here on M.Y. today. Ciara was photoed out at the Ivy in Los Angeles for a day of fun in the sun with brand new best gal pal, socialite turned reality star Kim Kardashian, random much? There just has to be an underlining reason behind that, first Keyshia Cole with Nicky Hilton now this?! Anyhow, here are the pics....
Ciara looks great with her hair in braids and just simple for a change. All that extra hair is just so unnecessary for a natural beauty such as herself. Hopefully she got the clue that less is so much better...
I just can't think about what it is they might have in common besides Reggie Bush. I guess it's like they say, opposites attract; they also say if you want to be seen by the paps eat at the Ivy, I'm just sayin'.

Yummy Pics: Mario takes it off for PETA

Click to enlarge

Mario strips down for PETA's campaign titled "Ink, Not Mink" one of their many campaigns in support of animal advocacy. I wonder if that leather belt he's wearing is real. If it is, it sure does take away from the message.

I happen to be vegetarian myself but I can not stand PETA. They are very outlandish with their actions and they are not that way with everything. Isn't it funny we didn't hear a peep out of them when the NY Post published a picture of a monkey being shot?! Opportunist at their best.

Jumping back on topic, Mario's body is looking quite right and he definitely looks better with hair.

Yummy Pics: Marques Houston + Mario

Here are two reasons why baldies are not for everyone... 1. Marques Houston (above) and 2. Mario (below)....
Mario looks like a pedophile, just why? Now trust, in my younger days (which isn't so far back) I had a thing for gentlemen with bald heads *not so much now*.

May I have a quick male pep-talk?....

The fundamentals of having a bald head are very simple; your head must be shaped for it and most importantly your face has to be appropriate to pull off the bald look....


Fact, you must have the upper class swag and style of a man that rocks a baldy. You can't be a cornball with a baldy, you have to be a debonair male and give off the essence of being a ladies man minus being a ladies man.....

Last but not least, if you have very large facial features *except for lips* it is probably not wise to sport a baldy because it will bring them out a little more than you might want. In conclusion, I must repeat; baldies are not for everyone just like facial tattoos. Make your choice wisely if you want to go coiffure commando.
