Glamorous lifestyles of known folks...
Alright ya'll I'm so excited. I'm going to window-shopping today with my best good friend at the mall. I'm pissed off that I missed "Ugly Betty" last night but I got caught up in something during "UG" hour. Well happy Friday to everyone! Shout out to Licia, Garcia, Roberto, Juicy, Str8, and my new anonymous reader! Thanks to Chanel and Juiicy for everything! You all should visit their blogs, Hip Candy and Juiicy Scoop for fashion tips and celeb happenings!

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon at InStyle magazine's 6th Annual Awards Season Diamond Fashion Show. This lady never skips a fashion beat. She always look on point AND she doesn't have a stylist. She does all her red carpet looks by herself!
Tichina Arnold was there rocking some thigh high boots.
"Dreamgirls" star Jennifer Hudson rolled up in a royal blue Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB. Damn girl! Work it!
Actor Isaiah Washington with his wife, Jenisa Marie on the red carpet. (Do these celebs get a Rolls Royce for showing up?!?!)

Yes folks Britney got a new man---Isaac Cohen.
Aisha Tyler being stylish in black and white.

Will Smith with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and son Jaden Smith walked the red carpet in Rome for the premiere of "Pursuit of Happyness." Will and Jaden's movie has made $124,039,482. Jaden's already a bankable movie star like his dad Will.

Jennifer Hudson at the AFI Awards Luncheon in a crisp black and white tailor-inspired dress. J-Hud says she loves to wear dresses.

Kirk Franklin, Chante Moore, Kenny Lattimore, and Donnie McClurkin came together for Imagine Me All-Star Celebrity Concert in Nashville.
Kenny was certainly singing to his wifey. Kirk was aiming to uplift the crowd.
Donnie caught the fever. Don't act like you folks don't get when you're singing.

Persistent rumors of a sex tape between Kim and Ray J keeps popping on and off this year.
"Paris Hilton's bff Kim Kardashian has denied she made a sex tape with her R&B singer ex, Ray J. So why are they trying to sell one? We spoke to a gentleman who says he viewed the tape and that it is being brokered for the very Dr. Evil price of one meeellion dollars. "It's your typical graphic sex tape," he says. We'll spare you the exact description (you can probably guess), but he did say "there's a golden shower at the end." [spotted at C&D]
Well damn Ray J...we know how you get down from Superhead's book but this is the icing on the cake.

My girl Juicy of Juicy News reports that Faith Evan is on bed rest. Yes folks Faith's pregnant and she has to be far along to be put on bed rest. So congrats to Faith and we all hope she feels much better.
"Faith Evans was due to perform on BET's "Celebration of Gospel" taping next weekend in Los Angeles, but the R&B singer had to cancel per doctor's orders because she is pregnant.
According to BET, Evans' doctor has ordered her on bed rest until the birth of the baby. The due date has not been reported." {Juicy-News}
The Beckhams are coming! Are you ready for them? The UK ideal couple are moving to LA due to David Beckham's switch from UK to LA based soccer team.
"David Beckham has conquered the rest of the world as the most recognized soccer player around. Now, he's beginning his march across America. Taking the first step Thursday, Beckham announced a five-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy, starting this summer. "Beckham Comes to America" flashed on video screens outside Staples Center, owned by AEG, the sports and entertainment company that runs the Galaxy. Beckham's first task? Converting football, baseball and basketball-crazed Americans into soccer fans. That could be his biggest hurdle since the United States is the last — and largest — market where Beckham's cult of personality has few believers. A superstar whose movements have convulsed Asian capitals and helped sell millions of European tabloids has been able to walk American streets in relative anonymity. "There are so many great sports in America," said Beckham, the 31-year-old former England captain. "There are so many kids that play baseball, American football, basketball. But soccer is huge all around the world apart from America, so that's where I want to make a difference with the kids." In Los Angeles, Beckham's mandate calls for raising the profile of an average team in a soccer league that has little respect overseas and less recognition than the University of Southern California football team. "I'm going out there to hopefully build a club and team that's got a lot of potential," Beckham said. "I think that's what excites me."The Beckham effect was felt immediately: The Galaxy sold 1,000 new season tickets Thursday morning. Their season begins April 8. The team averages 22,000 to 24,000 fans in its 27,000-seat stadium in suburban Carson, although attendance was down last season when the Galaxy missed the playoffs. "They know we Latinos are filling the soccer stadiums. That's why they want to bring stars here," said Juan Munguia, a 30-year-old Mexican hotel cook. "I will go just to see Beckham."
Already in the works is a 2008 Galaxy tour of Asia, where Beckham is wildly popular. A new team logo will be unveiled this summer and the Galaxy's owner is nearing a deal to slap a prime sponsor's name on its jerseys.
"We will absolutely market the Galaxy as a global brand," said Tim Leiweke of AEG, the sports and entertainment company whose holdings include Staples Center — where the city's resident superstar, Kobe Bryant, plays for the Lakers.
Beckham will become the biggest star to play U.S. professional soccer since Pele and Franz Beckenbauer were in the now-defunct North American Soccer League in the 1970s.
The Galaxy didn't say exactly what they'll pay him, but floated a figure of $250 million in salary and commercial endorsements over the five years of his contract. In other words, his move could be worth $1 million a week.
"David Beckham is a global sports icon who will transcend the sport of soccer in America," gushed Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber.
Beckham has not found much success since he moved to Spanish team Real Madrid in 2003 from Manchester United, where he won six league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League title. He has no major trophies with the nine-time European Cup champions.
Beckham started only five of 25 matches for Real Madrid this season. He turned down a two-year contract extension from Real Madrid, where his fading skills left him on the bench. He'll start for the Galaxy.
"He's coming here to make a difference," Galaxy coach Frank Yallop said. "He's not coming here on vacation." {Source}

Juicy Tidbits:
The Game, rapper, and The Game, wrestler, are fighting over their identical stage names. "Rapper ‘The Game,’ has slammed the World Wrestling (WWE) star using the same stage name, claiming it was he who first used the moniker. Game is furious the TV heavyweight has copied his signature and challenges his namesake to a fight to prove his credentials. He says, “I’m much stronger than (wrestler The Game) is. I was ‘The Game,’ long before he came about. “He’s on TV wrestling and it’s pretend, made up. I wrestle in real life and I win.” {Source}
James Brown's five year old son is NOT included in his will.
"The 5-year-old child of James Brown and his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, is not included in the will read Thursday to six of the entertainer's children, attorneys for the late singer say. While the will provides for six children, Hynie's son, James Jr., is not one of those listed in the document, attorney Strom Thurmond Jr. told The Associated Press. The will was read Thursday in Aiken but has not been filed in probate court, said Buddy Dallas, another Brown attorney. Brown died Christmas morning at age 73. The gates to his home were locked soon after his death, Dallas said, until attorneys could get the estate's legal affairs in order. The house is owned by the trust and "has been that way since August of 2000," Dallas said. "Technically, the trustees own it for the benefit of the trust. It was not in the name of James Brown and hasn't been that way for years." Hynie's attorney, Thornton Morris, said he doesn't know anything about the will. "She was locked out of the house so she doesn't know where the will that's being probated was found," Morris said of his client. "She has no knowledge to when this particular will was executed." {Source}
Solange and son Juelz's time in Church.
"[When Julez was 18 months old], our church service was during his usual naptime, so he was getting pretty grumpy. The pastor was saying his sermon, and he asked the congregation, 'Do we have any sinners in the house today?' and my son screams out, 'YES!!'
Then Julez throws a cup over the balcony, where it hits someone on the head. Now whenever I walk into church, everyone is like, 'No way I want to sit next to that kid!'"Wasn't this something she admitted in her interview with People magazine awhile back?!?!
New York from "Flavor of Love" on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Check out her new body. Girl got thick on us. I think Chance may win this. He's like the female verison to New York.

Music News:
Beyonce to perform at the Grammy's.
"The "Irreplaceable" singer is set to perform night-of, it was announced today, so you know it's going to be a big show already. The last time she performed at the Grammy Awards, Beyonce (left, in '04) duetted with Prince, had a dove (yes, a real dove) land in her hand during an elaborate set and ended up going home with five trophies. You can bet Beyonce (who's also up for a Golden Globe) is hoping for a little "Deja Vu" on Feb. 11, when she'll be up for four awards. Joining her as performers will be fellow nominees Dixie Chicks, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gnarls Barkley. Rihanna and Pink and actors Terrence Howard and Samuel L. Jackson are among presenters." {Source} No doubt this will be a performance to see. Last night Beyonce performed at the Grammy's---she joined Prince on stage.
Press play to relive the moment Beyonce and Prince performed together at the Grammy's.
Meagan Good and Neyo stopped by 106 & Park yesterday to talk about their new movie, ‘Stomp The Yard’.
Speaking of which, Ne-Yo kissed Tyra Banks's foot in a bid to prove he has a crush on her.
"Smooth soul star NE-YO left former supermodel TYRA BANKS speechless after he confessed he had a crush on her and proved it by kissing her foot. The retired catwalk star invited SO SICK singer Ne-Yo and STOMP THE YARD co-star CHRIS BROWN on her TV talk show, and after the pals bickered about who liked Banks more, Ne-Yo puckered up to show her his devotion yesterday (11JAN07). After hearing Brown confess to his crush, the singer stated, "We might have to take it outside..." Teenager Brown added, "Can we share you - I have you for the weekend, he has you for week days?" But 25-year-old Ne-Yo won Banks over when he grabbed the host's foot and romantically kissed it. Stunned Banks was initially lost for words and then said, "I can't believe you just did that... I got my feet kissed by Ne-Yo."

Sexy-Sugah has posted up this Beyonce's Oscar Best Actress consideration AD for "Dreamgirls.'
On '106 & Park', Meagan Goode admitted the kissing scenes with Columbus Short (who she calls Ohio), Omarion and Bow Wow were a little bit uncomfortable. She felt like she was kissing her brother.
Ne-Yo also dropped by Power 106 to say he WROTE Beyonce's song, "Irreplaceable." So does this means Beyonce simply slapped her name on songwriting credits to get her paper?!? If so just what portion of "Irreplaceable" did she write?
I find it a tad bit funny the biggest song on "B'Day" was co-written by a male and this song is supposed to be the female break up anthem. I'm just saying...Take a listen to Ne-Yo on Power 106 here.
Should 2007 be renamed the year of Akon? Here he is in the new music video from Gwen Stefani--'Sweet Escape.' I prefer either 'Orange County Girl' or 'Yummy' better as the next single. Gwen's hairstyles gets funkier each video she does. Anyhow this is a easy one to do for karaoke. Just a tip :)
