1- Dating Janet Jackson, trysts with Karrine "Supahead" Steffans (whom he calls "a bad mother") and lesbian epithets hurled at his ex-wife...With the claims in his new book, 'The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But...', is Bobby Brown burning ALL of his bridges? Is it ANYTHING but The Truth? Given all of the grammatical errors contained in the advanced copy, isn't it 'The Truth' that Mr. Brown (and Mr. Handspike) should have used spell-check?
2- Harlem-born and "Star Track"- bred... Aren't we all waiting with bated breath for Teyana Taylor's Pharrell Williams-produced debut CD? Is she the second coming of ex-"Star Track" wildchild GODDESS Kelis?
3- Another Harlem-born ingenue...Doesn't rap chanteuse Lil Mama look like Bow Wow in "lip gloss"? Come to think of it- has anyone seen both of them in the same room AT THE SAME TIME? Moreover, doesn't Bow Wow have a song entitled "Hey Lil Mama"? Hmmmm...4- Isn't socialite/designer Rachel Roy's collaboration with Manolo Blahnik for her Fall 2008 collection (the must-have Roy/Blahnik printed slingback peep-toe heel "bootie") the hottest thing Manolo has done since his take on the Timberland boot?
5- Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Tuesday that the U.S. economy is officially in a recession. With the economy in a monetary downturn, can anyone AFFORD to buy those Rachel Roy Blahniks?
6- LOOOOVE her voice, but...Now that Mariah has surpassed Elvis in #1 singles, aren't we hoping she ups her fashion game? Seriously... at 38, how much longer are we going to have to put up with the "aging coquettish tart" look?
7- Speaking of upping her fashion game, isn't Michelle Williams- yes, THAT Michelle Williams- upping her sartorial cred in photos to promote her new single "We Break The Dawn"? Rocking styles like this, what would JESUS do?
8- "The OTHER Destiny's Child" isn't the only one getting an upgrade...The Motel 6 hotel chain is moving on up! If your room looked like this...
with flat-screen TVs, granite bathroom countertops and other amenities- all while still staying between $39 and $59 a night- wouldn't you re-think giving The Marriott Marquis and The W hundreds of dollars a night? That sounds recession proof to me...
9- Is the upcoming jailhouse wedding of rappers Remy Ma and Papoose really just a ghetto-faboulous version of Beyonce and Jay-Z's nuptials? Will they be shipping white tents and 60,000 orchids to Riker's Island? Will they put a nail file in the wedding cake?
10- America's Next Top Awards show...Just how "FIERCE" an idea was it for Tyra Banks to come up with 'The FIERCEE Awards" (honoring past and present 'America's Next Top Model' contestants)? How many of us will be planted in front of the television on April 30th, when the event telecast is set to air on Tyra's show?
Although she didn't win, didn't Miss Jade have the last laugh, looking the FIERCEST of all the contestants?
The Celebrity Fit Club Boot Camp certainly worked out for Miss Toccara, huh?
11- Wendy, Wendy, Wendy...You know The REAL RE-Edit thinks that Wendy Williams is a GODDESS, but...With her new television show slated to begin soon and her autobiographical movie starring Robin Givens in post-production, how untimely is "Wendygate" (the sexual harassment case being brought against her husband by her talent booker Nicole Spence)? How YOU doin', Wendy?
12- PLANET ROCK!!! Wendy isn't the ONLY one rocking the radio airwaves...Afrika Bambaataa will host his new XM Satellite radio show, "Zulu Beatz" on Channel 65 The Rhyme. Bambaataa plans to bring back the throwback sound of rap with the show's format, which will feature classic hip hop records that reflect the genre's evolution. "If you are tired of hearing the same 10 songs over and over again, then this is the show you don't want to miss," he says. Old school rap from the Father of Hip Hop- shouldn't all Radio One stations be worried?
13- Those in the art community are familiar with his work. Fashionistas clamored for his designs on Louis Vuitton purses. The majority of the hip hop cognoscenti perhaps became aware of his work when Kanye West commissioned him to design his last CD cover "Graduation". Now (by way of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles), a retrospective of his work lands this week at The Brooklyn Museum in New York. Who's excited about going to the retrospective exhibit of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami?
14- From the King of Contemporary Art to the Crown Jewel of Pop Art...Who remembers The Pop Shop on Lafayette St in SoHo NYC (the ecclectic late-80's Pop Art enclave which served as a HUGE supplier of Keith Haring imagery that eventually closed in 2005)? Isn't Japanese super-retailer Uni Qlo to be commended for trying to bring back the old Pop Shop days by offering Keith Haring T-Shirts? Don't we want to see what they do with Basquiat's images?
15- Where in the WORLD is Lauryn Hill?
FLASHBACK...
Teyana Taylor may be the new kid on Pharrell Williams/Chad Hugo's label imprint, but let's go back to the original first Lady Of Star Track- Kelis- with "Caught Out There (I Hate You So Much Right Now!)". At least Teyana has Kelis' (old) hair...
