Chrisette Michele - If I Have My Way


She was blessed enough to be drafted to empassion Nas’ blazin track “Can’t Forget

About You”. Then on Jay-Z’s return to the studio, she helped her Def Jam label-mate

to explore life and career on “Lost One” and created a buzz. As if to be destined

for stardom, all the cards fell into place for the timely release of her debut effort

I Am. As if tutored by Billie Holiday, Etta James, and the like, Chrisette’s amazing

voice mixes the sophistication of that day with an inner joy that could only come

from her gospel days.

Shaniqua don't play. She wants some of 50's share of the V-Water profits for their 10-year-old son, Marquise Jackson. Her lawyer, Raoul Felder said about 50's stake in Vitamin Water, "This will be a subject of the trial." And in in case anybody still thinks 50 made 400 million off that deal, welcome to last week, his cut was actually 100 million.

Hip-hop star T.I. lost out on a dream home because of the color of his skin, according to the rapper himself. The 26-year-old arrived with cash to buy the luxury property in his native Atlanta, Georgia, but his offer was turned down.

He tells Blender, "They wanted $2.5 million for that house over there. I was ready to pay cash. But once they saw who I was, the house wasn't for sale anymore. If you ask me it's because I'm a young black man."

T.I. adds, "I just bought a bigger house."

(Starpulse News)

Hip-hop star 50 Cent is expanding his G-Unit clothing line - by opening an online

virtual boutique to sell garments and promote his forthcoming album "Curtis." The

rapper will join other artists such as rockers Slipknot and The Sex Pistols by

launching a store in Zwinktopia, a virtual world with 6.5 million users, who create

characters which interact with other inhabitants. They can also purchase virtual

clothes and belongings. But 50 Cent's creative team are still planning how the store

will operate, although the rapper's merchandise will be available free to users,

unlike that of other performers with a presence on the site. Chris Romero, the

star's creative director of digital media, says, "It's the equivalent of sending a

marketing team to a new country where there is a new economy." (Thanks Myra Panache)

Some would say that this check was so WACK of him to do . I mean some of you looking at this video may say the same thing but lets be clear. Usher did not and should not have came to birthday bash. Birthday Bash is for the Hip HOp and Urban rappers and performers. He probably got asked out to come there so when it is all said and done they can say "Usher even came to Birthday Bash."

As long as I have been traveling to Atlanta there has been a enormous amount of nightclubs in Atlanta. It is now time for Mr Atlanta, Jermaine Dupri to set the stage again here in his home town and create a club called STUDIO 72. It may be a take off of the new Studo 54 in New York but one things for sure he has set it up to be successfull as possible. Launching this pre-club event tomorrow, JD will have the sexiest people in music all in one place to celebrate his launch. Check back to see pictures and video footage.


****
Jermaine Dupri, who set the standard for Atlanta nightlife and dining with his sophisticated, stylish and celebrity-attracting events, has introduced the latest evolution of nightlife artistry with the June 2007 opening of STUDIO 72. With the opening of the 12,000 square foot, $1 million design-driven entertainment venue, STUDIO 72 has officially upped the ante in the battle for Atlanta's burgeoning nightlife-seeking crowd.



On Tuesday, June 12th STUDIO 72 will open its' doors for a sneak peak to the media and Atlanta's well heeled set including celebrity guests. Tuesday's Sneak Peak is brought to you by Courvoisier, Bentley of Atlanta and Remy. On Saturday, June 9th, STUDIO 72, with silver carpet set up, will host the official invitation only grand opening VIP Event that will see Atlanta's and entertainment's hottest and most elite guests.

*****

"STUDIO 72 will attract a stylish, chic, and celebrity-filled clientele that will further enhance Atlanta's and STUDIO 72's reputation as the most complete destination," said owner Jermaine Dupri


Immediately upon entry, guests take in the breathtaking view of a one-of-a-kind 1100 gallon aquarium featuring exotic fish, rocks and coral that puts STUDIO 72 in a class of its own and on the leading edge. The awe inspiring aquarium was designed by Just Add Water, Atlanta's premier company for design, installation and maintenance of aquarium art. According to Just Add Water, the STUDIO 72 aquarium is one of the largest public aquariums, outside of the Georgia Aquarium, in the Atlanta area.



Deep chocolate brown, silver and champagne envelope you inside the club while plush velvet walls add to the sophisticated ambiance. Intimate booth style seating with European bottle service is available as is a private VIP room called the Playground. There are 3 bars in the main club area, as well as one in the VIP Chocolate room, staffed by beautiful and enticing personnel.

With all the buzz going on around Kanye and his new found love, He has done it again with his 30th birthday smash. Sit back and enjoy the pictures from one of my people in new york. She know who she is. She is doing it big and I am so proud of her.

I would have to say that the new Tyler Perry show is a bust. I was making sure I rushed home to catch this piece of this crap they called a sitcom. Yes it was called House of Pain but it really was a pain to watch it I was buying into the whole madea thing , and like many Americans they did to. I recently overheard some people talking about it and they were also confirming how inundated it was with dry -plastic humor. I know I am not originally from the south-no shots to who is, but i am sick of the same Madea jokes.

On a better note, I am not a big fan of the Madea plays but I do love the humor of the character Mr.Brown. Brown brings a since of excellent improvisations that transfer well from the stage to the sit-com couch. I think that is one of the obstacles that this comedy needs to get over and realize that this is not a stage play, this is prime-time t.v.


*****the premiere of Tyler Perry’s new TV series “House of Payne” on Wednesday wreaked havoc by becoming TBS’ highest-rated sitcom of all time among key adult demos and viewers, as well as basic cable's No. 1 scripted series telecast for the year-to-date among 18-49 and 25-54.
