More Pics of BEYONCE Controversial "BLACKFACE" Nigerian Spread; It's just an ART FORM, People!

BY NOW YOU HAVE HEARD OF THIS. Of course Beyonce's radical look in her most recent photo shoot would spark CONTROVERSY; people are really sensitive like that. In my eyes, Beyonce was picked as the ideal model for such a photo shoot but for the vision of the shoot, Beyonce wasn't dark enough, so it was a SEMI-TASTEFUL look to Africa's Nubian culture.

It's art. Beyonce graced it well.

OSCAR 2011 FASHION!

The biggest awards ceremony took place last night at the Nokia Theatre. The big night brought on the A-game of many celebrities, most notably the women! A trend for the night that is making it's appearance into Spring is the color Red (and it's different shades) along with the one-shoulder dress trend that is more defined. This Spring season calls for nothing but FLAIR.

Congratulations to Natalie Portman for winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal in "Black Swan." She truly deserved it and it's so nice seeing her experience so many great things simultaneously: recognition for her craft, pregnancy, and love with her fiance.

Hands down best dressed of the night right when I saw her was Mila Kunis. She wore a lilac colored Elie Saab gown that was so dreamy. The detailing of lace in the low cut chest area was not overtly provocative because of the flowy detail of the entire look. She looked so beautiful and her hair and make-up was perfect with this dress, nothing overpowering, but it made a strong statement together that definitely got her noticed.

But what really had people buzzing were the many outfit changes of co-host Anne Hathaway during the 3 hour broadcast. Was it really necessary to change that many times? Regardless, she looked amazing in all of them and it was refreshing to see new faces hosting the biggest awards ceremony. Seeing Anne on-stage with her confidence emitted a genuine feeling of gratitude for the opportunity she was given. GO GIRL!

LADY GAGA WAS BORN THIS WAY!!!

Today Lady Gaga released the anticipated video for her hit single "Born This Way." Again, Lady Gaga has managed to trip me out with her videos!

In this video she initially talks about the Manifesto of Mother Monster where a race baring no prejudice or judgement, but boundless freedom was born. Then another race was born, an evil side that promoted violence and war with one another. One strange thing I noticed in the video was that it began with an upside down triangle, then ended with a triangle, like the pyramid referring to possibly the illuminati? (Something to think about...)

It is clear that Lady Gaga's message is to promote equality amongst all despite differences in race or sexual orientation. I truly admire her work. Though people may think she's weird, it's refreshing to see her use her fame to promote a good cause. She actively stands behind the LGBT community and she is very eloquent in her points of view.

Lady Gaga preaches that everyone shouldn't be ashamed for being who they are because we are all unique and gifted. She even confessed at the Grammys that this song was previously made for Whitney Houston to sing it because Lady Gaga herself wasn't comfortable in her own skin. Now Lady Gaga is asserting how proud she is of herself and what she stands for. May everyone who listens to this song be inspired to stay true to themselves and what they believe in.MORE POWER TO YOU!!!

Check out her video!!!

HALLE's HOTT Nude-Colored Gown At the 2011 Oscars Bared My Soul...

GRRRR.... Halle Berry needs to stop messing with me with what she puts on. It's like.... the FEELINGS inside just makes a man wanna... GRRRR..... *LoL*

Halle wore a nude-colored, exclusively designed Marchesa corset gown with a sparkled truffle design all over this hott number. She finished the look with Christian Louboutin heels.

Man, she just lands herself in the "BEST DRESSED LIST" countless years in a row. By the way, Halle Berry gave a great speech and tribute to the late Lena Horne. She seemed to be choked up about the whole tribute; LENA HORNE was, in fact, Halle Berry's reason of entering into the acting world.

Check out the trailer which stars Teyana Taylor and Bow Wow; watch them go INNNNN on each other!

It's going DOOOOWWWN April 22, 2011!

I'm THERE! Madea never fails to entertain and tickle a nerve, and also never fails to spark a few nerves of absent-minded people who STILL don't understand that "Madea" is not a Tyler Perry CROSSDRESSER, just a funny character who is portrayed as a GHETTO GRANDMA. And YESSS, there are REAL MADEAs in this country!!!!

NATALIE PORTMAN Wins In Oscar Dress and In Leading Role for "Black Swan"

Congrats to Natalie Portman for winning "BEST ACTRESS" in a leading role: Black Swan. That movie was a hott pick fro the Oscars to begin with. It wowed so many people in the theatres with the twists and turns of the film. Amazing..

And even amazing yet is the Oscar dress that she wore that covered her soon-to-be-born baby; it draped her very well and didn't look somewhat awkward as some pregnant women do when they wear gowns.

Check more pics of Natalie Portman at the Oscars (She is wearing a RODARTE gown with Swarovski crystals, and Jimmy Choos):

Dat's wassup...

GORGEOUS IN RED: 2011 Oscar Celebs In Red Gowns

This is my first post on the 2011 Oscars. Expect many more posts to roll off the "JAIDEN CONVEYOR BELT." 

These looks are WAYY, WAYY HOTT. It's important to have a dress that accentuates the body well. Check out what these HOTT WOMEN IN SHADES OF RED wore (these gowns are great in my book):

Jennifer Hudson wore a hip-hugging, bosom-showing tangerine Versace gown.

Anne Hathaway is wearing Valentino.

Sandra Bullock is wearing Vera Wang (the bow could be a little smaller in the back).

Jennifer Lawrence is wearing Calvin Klein Collection.

Penelope Cruz is wearing L'Wren Scott.

KANYE WEST: Balmain, Burberry, and Chicago Bulls

What do Kanye West, BALMAIN, Burberry, and Chicago Bulls have in common? He "visited" them all in one day. He was first spotted in NYC doing some ish that he usually does; he wore a Burberry Prorsum Green Shearling Coat from the Fall 2010 collection, a BALMAIN sleeveless hoodie (seen in above pic), and SMOOOOTH black Raf Simons sneakers, for $697 (below). OH-wait a minute-- he's also wearing vintage Cartier sunglasses.

THE LOOK IS HOTT. Thumbs up. Well... except that the white shearling might be a bit much; it's not for everyone.

Kanye later changed it up a bit by wearing Air Jordan Retro sneakers when he stopped by Chicago to catch the game (Chicago Bulls beat Miami Heat). Check out more pics:

Dat's wassup... stepping into the Maybach... ayy DRIVER, don't hit the door on that lightpole!!!

FLOYD MAYWEATHER Goes All Out for 34th Birthday-- Gifts In Excess of $2 MILLION!

Floyd Mayweather celebrated his 34th birthday the other day, and his CRAAAAAZY love for money. Sometimes when I think about Floyd's "burn rate," I wonder how much money does he really make? Winning boxing matches and getting endorsements may not cover all that at one time, ya know?

Anyhoo, Floyd looked sharp in his ready-to-wear suit, sitting in a 2011 Maybach 62 with 50 Cent (above); he received a $1.5 MILLION WATCH,  a new 2011 ROLLS-ROYCE from his fiancee "Miss Jackson," and a "MONEY CAKE" that looked so real, someone could have stolen it *LoL*. 

Sidenote: The only thing that's the cheapest is that Snapple that Floyd's holding. See more pics:

Whew... talk about excess....

But Cris knows that dress is too small.. check the pic on the right; she's tryin' to hide her unmentionables.

Kobe Bryant's Nike Shoe Empire

KOBE BRYANT...(aka Black Mamba, aka Bean Bryant) is an all-star player with his own line of sneakers sponsored by Nike. With 6 different versions of his sneaker out, it's hard to decipher which one is right for you.

The Nike Air Zoom Kobe I was collaborated with graffiti artist and Nike collaborator Stash. This first official shoe of Kobe's made it's debut during the Lakers and Heat game Christmas Day 2005, but was on sale nationwide February 10, 2006 along with his Nike clothing line. These shoes have a thick looking sole and look kind of stiff.

In 2007, Kobe introduced the Nike Zoom Kobe II (ZKII) to the public. This shoe line called "Weapons of War" combined 3 separate basketball shoes of the Zoom Kobe Sheath, Strength, and Lite. According to Kobe's expectations, this shoe provided speed, strength, traction, increased flexibility, and support. Average price runs between $130-$150.

In January 2008, Kobe released the Nike Zoom Kobe III which was more of a softer looking shoe covered with a netting design.

The Hyperdunks launched April 7, 2008, where Kobe regarded them as the "lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever." These were the shoes used by the U.S. Mens Pro Basketball Team at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. This shoe represents different players by having its own colors and characters. This shoe was made ultra famous by the commercial of Kobe jumping over an Ashton Martin full speed. Price range runs between $100-$140.

With the success of the Hyperdunks, Kobe released the Nike Zoom Kobe IV which was a basketball shoe, but didn't look like a typical one. This version features a reptile print on the heel and toe box along with a translucent midsole. The tongue on the shoes have the phrase "Carpe Diem" which in Latin means "Seize the Day."

The Nike Zoom Kobe V was available January 16, 2010 and was the lightest shoes ever made by Nike. The design of the lower top was inspired by the footwear of soccer players and this shoe has skins of snake scale and shark fin.

Kobe's shoe for the 2011 NBA season are the Nike Zoom Kobe VI which look like the Kobe V, but have a netting (or snake skin) design throughout most of the shoe.

I don't know the exact reason for Kobe's sneaker line to be the most popular amongst the public, but love him or hate him, Kobe Bryant is very marketable. Not only is he one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he knows what he wants when he decides to promote something. The thing that makes the Kobe line of sneakers "tick" is the great design, and it doesn't hurt that everyone wants to be like this superstar. The price range for almost all his shoes are $130-$200 depending on the style and type of edition you prefer. All I know is that Kobe's shoe empire will continue and leave a legacy in the basketball sneaker world.
