Over at Miami Beach's Ritz Carlton, Vivica A. Fox oversaw the world's only Tanning Butler contest as a primary judge.

Vivica recently sat down with "Upscale" magazine to talk about the most misunderstood thing about her:

"That I'm a desperate aging starlet (who) does desperate things for attention. That always blows me away - "Well her career is almost over, that's why she is doing this". My career is very successful, and I have other chapters that I am going into. And stop believing everything you read on the internet! And stop making up stuff and putting that on the internet...and check your facts. Don't be happy to hear about another person's downfalls. Let's stick together and not tear each other down."

Rihanna and Vivica A Fox participated in many festivities during Paris Fashion Week. The fashion-forward pair were spotted last night Swarovski Party before Rihanna attended two Fall fashion shows by Chanel and Sonia Rykiel. Vivica was seen front row at the Celine runway show.

If the dress Vivica has on looks familar, Mary J Blige also wore the same one-shouldered Emanuel Ungaro dress to the 2007 American Music Awards. Visit Concrete Loop to vote on the fashion comparison.



UPDATE: Rihanna seems to love those silver Christian Louboutin en passant sandals. She wore them first to the 2008 Brit Awards and again at the Swarovski party. Snag the Rihanna's platforms for $675 in black. When was Rihanna's LOOK on LOCK? Thanks Debbie for the fashion comparison!
