Jay-Z Wears A BROOCH On His Denim Jacket; IDK If That's A Coming Trend...

Jay-Z was spotted walking to a meeting in NYC, wearing a classic denim jacket... with a brooch on it. It looks like a replica of 'Watch The Throne' album cover. Not that I'm discussing music, but rather the ART that goes into it. Anyway, I'm not sure if brooches may be a coming trend; I do know that I've seen guys wear 'hearts' as brooches on their blazer or jacket, but an ACTUAL GRANDMA BROOCH??

Hmm.. I got to do a lil' investigating to see if that's a trend...

Angela Simmons and New Artist Rita Ora in Gold 'Mirrored' Maison Martin Margiela Sneakers

It really seems that once a designer can get ahold of the interests of a celeb, their line can really take off! So check out socialite and businesswoman Angela Simmons and new Jay-Z managed artist RITA ORA rocking these gold Maison Martin Margiela sneakers.

SO, SO BOSS for these women. And hey... guys are wearing the silver ones. It's a UNISEX kind of sneaker. Rock 'em out-- for those on a budget, there are similar sneakers by Steve Madden and Aldo that you could check out.

Dang... this girl looks so much like Rihanna; ain't it a coincidence that she was in the same city at the same time (London) while Rihanna was promoting her movie 'Battleship'?

Rihanna Out Promoting 'BATTLESHIP' In Karen Walker Sunglasses

Rihanna always brings her 'A' game, especially when she's out doing promotions either for her 'Loud' Album, 'Talk That Talk' album, and now her first movie, 'BATTLESHIP.' She was spotted wearing this nice, wrapped, dark olive dress with the Karen Walker 'Number 1' plastic vanilla wood framed sunglasses for $220. She also wore her favorite Louboutins.

The whole look was a mix of professional, chic, and fun all at once.

HUNGER GAMES BRINGS OUT THE RACISM IN SOME PEOPLE...

So The Hunger Games came out last week, and everyone is basically calling it the "New Twilight". People are jumping on the bandwagon to watch the movie, and/or read the book. I actually have the series, but haven't had the "time" to devote to a trilogy like this. Making $155 million from it's opening weekend, crowned the 3rd biggest opening in movie history, behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 and The Dark Knight.

The main character in the book and film Katniss was described as having straight black hair and olive skin, but Jennifer Lawrence (a white girl) was cast for the part, just dyed her hair dark. Rue and Thresh were described as having dark skin, but Cinna was never really specified.

As Katniss sees Rue for the first time..."…And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor…"

Then Katniss sees Thresh..."The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He's one of the giants, probably six and half feet tall and built like an ox."

But these aren't what The Hunger Games fanatics had in mind. They pictured these characters so distinct in their mind, that when they saw that these characters weren't exactly lined up to their expectations, they became enraged...more racist to be exact.

Honestly, this is really disappointing to read. I mean personally, I know racism and biases exist, but to read it in such a public sense being written all over Twitter is just disgusting. It really makes me sad for these people who have no open mind to anything in this day and age.

Beyonce and Blue Ivy Swathed In FUR; Still Can't See Blue... Dang....

Beyonce, Blue Ivy, and Tina Knowles were spotted stepping out of their loaded MILLION-DOLLAR van (loaded with Direct TV, Wi-Fi, whatever else, maybe even a crib for Blue). Beyonce and Blue Ivy were swathed in fur, and Bey kept the style moving down to her feet, showing off them yellow heels. And Tina... she's such the COUGAR in all-black.

Good looking, fam... just wish I'd see more of Blue.

For The Ladies & Aspiring Fitness Models: ROMEO MILLER For BRAVE Magazine

I thought I'd post this for the ladies: ROMEO MILLER.

I posted this because I thought about doing a shot like this; it's very natural, laid back, but at the same time draws female viewers, a target of those who love to SHOP. If I could do a shoot like this sometimes this summer, it may be a good draw to my new necktie and bowtie line, 'Vintage Ties by JAIDEN Detroit'.

On the other hand, this post is not only for the ladies but for the guys who need a template of how to look as far as FITNESS before doing a shoot like this. I'm getting there as far as my workout regimen so instead... you'll be looking at ME. *LoL*

Aretha Franklin Turns 70; Celebrates In Respectable Clothing Than Previous Years

So ARETHA FRANKLIN turned 70 this past weekend, and she celebrated it with great friends (in NYC) like BET's Debra Lee, Diane Sawyer, and Clive Davis.

Aretha looked very pretty for 70, and did indeed wear respectable clothing like this perfect look she wore for her 70th B-DAY, a far cry from spaghetti-strap gowns which strained to hold up her enormous breasts (just sayin'...) Take a look at Aretha's sequined dress and silver fox coat:

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks Lookin' Hott Together At Celeb Fight Nite

I didn't know that these two were a couple.

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks were spotted at Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night in Phoenix, Arizona. They appeared to be lovey-dovey and having a great time. Jordin wore this flattering leopard gown brought into elegance with chandelier earrings and a pulled-back 'do. Jason Derulo sported a cut-out crocodile tux with a blinged-out neckbrace (he had an incident were he injured himself during a performance).

They both looked great; Jason's tux really gave me a second look.... interesting design.

KATY PERRY DISSES BEYONCE & SHAKIRA'S DUET

Okay, not headlining news as of today, but still pretty big because someone be dissing Beyonce! And we know she "run the world" because she said so. Well this someone is California Girl Katy Perry. If you didn't know, Katy Perry and Rihanna have been pretty close friends for awhile now and they have been working on a duet for some time. But, Katy explains that this collaboration has taken some time because they want it to be great, not like "Beautiful Liar".

Here is exactly what she said: "We've collaborated on a lot of things, but just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build up that we have to deliver. I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves,'...Not 'Beautiful Liar.'"

I don't get why this is considered really just dissing Beyonce, when it's with Shakira too. Shouldn't it be considered dissing both? Funny thing is that "Beautiful Liar" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007.

In closing, Katy Perry adds: "How disappointed would you be if that song came out and it's no good? Sometimes you have to wait for greatness." Well we are waiting girl, and it better be a lot better!

LEBRONJAMES tweeted this picture of his Miami Heat showing national support for Trayvon Martin. All hoodies were UP in honor of him. Wow, this dear boy is getting national attention from just about all people who own a hoodie.

This crime was truly senseless; not for self-defense...but it takes on deeper meaning than you think, especially if you're an African-American.

It's amazing how some celebs keep their cool!

First Ryan Seacrest, now KIM KARDASHIAN!! She was floured down on the red carpet by a random spectator who came ALL THE WAY UP TO HER, and security did nothing to the lady until powder was already poured on the Kim's head and shoulders. Kim instantly put her head down and brushed it off as she was swiftly led away by security.

That lady was caught, though...

According to the Access staffer, who witnessed the event, no one stopped the woman, as she a
"She went in between Kim and her publicist and started dumping the bag on Kim's head and shoulders," the staffer recounted.
Only a small amount of the powder actually touched the reality star, landing on her head and shoulders.pproached Kim.

Whitney Houston's Cause of Death Revealed!

So news broke out today on the cause of Whitney Houston's surprising death last month. According to the L.A. Coroner's Office, the 48 year old died from accidental drowning. At the time of her death, she had cocaine in her system, but the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease mixed with the frequent cocaine use caused her passing. Also according to toxicology reports, Whitney Houston had marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril, and Benadryl that supposedly "did not cause her death". I mean if you have all those substances mixed in your body, it seems almost impossible to come out of this situation alive and healthy. What is still not certain is if Whitney actually died from a heart attack, which is common to happen with the influx of drug substances.


Still an unbelievable tragedy to hear about knowing that she was still very young and had a child whom she was so close to. It's crazy how public figures such as her have no idea of the great impact they leave behind to loved ones and to the public. Let's keep her family in our prayers, especially daughter Bobbi Brown that she doesn't follow the same path as her mom in regards to abusing substances. There is so much more to be grateful and appreciative for and instead of harming ourselves, we should take great care of the body that we were provided.

B.E.T.'s 2012 'Rip The Runway' Tonight!! (UPDATE; Includes REVIEW and Grade Of Show)

(Scroll down for complete review and grade of BET's 'Rip The Runway')

B.E.T.'s 'Rip The Runway' is a relatively young show that has really taken FASHION to another level by bringing it to the national airwaves (hence other competitors like NBC's 'Fashion Star'). The hosts for this year is Pooch Hall ('Derwin' from 'The Game') and supermodel Selita Ebanks.

If you know me, then you MUST know I'm all eyes and ears on this show. Guests are out-of-this-world fashion designers, as well as performers like Diggy Simmons and Jeremih, Estelle, Lil' Kim, Wale, and more.

Check out behind-the-scenes pics and videos and stay tuned to me by folowing me on Twitter @theonlyjaiden for up-to-date tweets about the show:

Update of 'Rip The Runway' 3/21/2012:

Rip The Runway was a very exciting show to behold, with performers in the midst of models strutting down the runway. Lots of Louboutins and Steve Maddens were spotted on the runway. Female models had OH SO MUCH beauty (mmm...) and the curvy girls who wore COLOR-BLOCKING clothes truly represented; a high point of the night. The male models, looking like straight out of a Sean John and GQ spread, carried tons of SWAGGER.

LaQuan Smith and the debut of Sass by Selita was also a high point.

On the downside, the show didn't deliver as much BANG as I thought it would. The decor, the background, the runway design, the hype crowd WON me over. The distraction was the performers all up on the runway with the models; I think the runway should be LEFT for the models while the performers do their shot 'off-center' like Robin Thicke did. Another distraction was I was hoping that the performers/models wouldn't bump into each other.

'Rip The Runway' celebrated urban designers but it seemed to be missing something; I'm honestly not exactly sure what it was. Was it that the program was too short (I didn't want it to end)? Was it the hosts (I thought Selita and Pooch were GREAT, but I would've preferred a little more behind-the-scenes interaction)? Was it that Angela Simmons was the only celeb to do a makeover on ONE girl (I wanted more makeovers for more girls)?

I shouldn't have to feel like I enjoyed NBC's 'Fashion Star' more than BET's 'Rip The Runway'.

You decide for yourself. The grade I give: B-
