Fashion Killa: Erykah Badu new face of Givenchy!

Riccardo Tisci is the master mind behind the latest looks of Givenchy. Tisci has now cast fashion forward artist Erykah Badu as the new face of Givenchy's spring 2014 line.

With the talks of the fashion world having too much homogeneity Tisci has been very influential with giving more African American men and women the opportunity to shine in the fashion world. He's discovered models such as Joan Smalls and Maria Borges. Not only does he give all races a chance he's featured an albino model as well as transgendered. Tisci wants to show that himself as well as Givenchy love all people no matter race or orientation.

In an interview Tisci shared his feeling on the recent dislikes of designers not using men and women of color.
"There was a lot of talk this season in fashion,I was one of the persons who ended up not being touched by this. I've always been supporting them. For me, I grew up in a family and I grew up in a culture, an education, that we are all the same. "

I love Riccardo Tisci he's an amazing designer and he's not afraid to stand on his own. Hopefully designers will see what Tisci and Givenchy does and they'll follow suite. Fashion is for everyone not just one sex, race or orientation.

Beyoncé's self titled 5th album is #1 in 100 countries. Yes in one day this really happened she set the bar to space and no ones reaching it any time soon. When asked at a press release why a secret album Bey says

“I didn’t want to release my music the way I’ve done it, I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There’s so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it’s ready and from me to my fans.”

Beyoncé's Mrs. Carter World Tour is coming to an end December 22, but don't worry if you missed out, she will be back on another world tour in 2014 for the new album!

Should Paul Walkers character remain in F&F7 ?

 

It's sad that the saying the show must go on is the truth. The Filming for Fast and Furious 7 was already in production during the time of Walkers death. With only half the movie done and majority of the remaining scenes Walker was to play in, there's no word of what writers plan to do with his character due to his untimely death.

Paul Walker died at the age of 40 over the thanksgiving weekend. Walker is most known for his role as Brian O'Conner in the Fast and Furious franchise. Walker along with a friend driver Roger Rodas were burned alive after the car they were riding in crashed into a nearby tree and caught fire.

They're holding off with the remainder of filming while everyone mourns Walkers death. This also gives writers time to come up with the changes for the story line with his character. Walkers parents say they want his character to remain in the film that's what he would have wanted.

When you think of Fast & Furious you think of Paul Walker. There's no reason why talks of taking the character out all together should be spoken of. There's ways to change things around, that's what makes a good writer. It should be an entertaining and respectful solution to the sudden departure of the Brian O'Conner character. Fast and Furious 7 was set to be released July 11th 2014. No word on if that date will be changed.


Paul Walker loved cars and he love speed the irony in how he was taken away. My condolences to the family Walkers parents, his girlfriend and his only daughter Meadow. RIP





What do you think should happen to Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner character?

The LP is self titled Beyonce, it includes features from of coarse hubby Jay Z, Drake , Franck Ocean, Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche and special feature with baby girl Blue Ivy. This is her 5th album release since going solo after group Destiny's Child went their separate ways.


Beyonce's Instagram post with the simple caption of Suprise! That put us all in a frenzy!



This was a lovely Christmas present from King Bey. Its usually sad for other female artist while she's busy. No one would've thought while touring she's making an album and shooting videos. Beyoncé is currently still on her Mrs. Carter World Tour, making her second rounds in the US for those fans who missed her summer dates. She'll be at Barclays center for the 4th time this year December 19th, she's making one more stop in Boston at TD Garden then ending the tour once again in Brooklyn on December 22.

LHHNY : Messier than Ever!

 

Love & Hip Hop NY is back and more messier than ever! The season
started off introducing the new cast members which some have you
questioning why? They're bringing the drama so one can't complain. K.
Michelle has relocated to the big apple I can't wait to see what she
has in store for this season.

New to the LHHNY cast is Peter Gunz father of Cory Gunz known for his
'90s hit "Uptown Baby".  Saigan the underground rapper that looks like
producerJus Blaze he appeared on Entourage for a few episodes.
Of coarse with the men come the ladies in their life, Peter has a
family 2 sons by his girlfriend Tara yet his in love with his artist
Amina Buddafly. Saigon has a weird relationship with his sons mother
Erica. The paternity is up in the air he wasn't sure if he's actually
the father but

The returning cast members are of coarse Yandy Smith, Mandeecees is
still locked up and could be facing a minimum of 20 years! Surprised
but not surprised Joe Budden and Tahiry are back together , they truly
come across as soul mates I hope Joey doesn't mess things up. Erica
Mena is back still acting up only she's full on lesbian now. Rich
Dollars is back and thank the heavens Olivia is not besides her voice
everything was a bore she needed to go 2 seasons ago!

LHHNY is airing now as we all know now the filming ended long ago. The
drama that happens once the cameras go off is as juicy as what they
captured. We have to wait to see if the rumor mills are true about the
cast members but no matter how much they try to spice the original
LHHNY, the Atlanta cast has them beat! I live for some Joseline and
Stevie J. Either way Mona Scott Young is winning as well as Vh1. I'm
ready for the reunion already!
