Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson Officially Charged With Domestic Battery

September 13, 2012 |  by  |  SMDH, Thuglife  |  No Comments  |  Share

According to www.sun-sentinel.com

    Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson was officially charged Wednesday in a domestic violence case, according to the Broward State Attorney’s Office.
    The flamboyant football player is facing one count of misdemeanor domestic battery for allegedly head-butting his wife, reality show personality Evelyn Lozada, prosecutors said.
    Johnson was arrested Aug. 11 at his home in Davie, where he lived with Lozada. They had been arguing over a receipt found in his car that showed the purchase of condoms. She had a neighbor call 911; arriving officers noticed a cut on Lozada’s forehead, according to the investigative report. She was treated at a hospital and he was taken to the Broward County Jail. The Dolphins released him shortly thereafter.
    Johnson was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning. He is expected to file a written plea of not guilty instead of appearing in court.
    The charge is punishable by one year in the Broward County Jail, prosecutors said.
    SMDH......This goes to show you that things can go from sugar to sh-t real QUICK!!

Rockin! or Not….: Rihanna Spotted In London Rocking Kenzo Tiger Logo Tee & Printed Casual Pants

Rockin! or Not....: Rihanna Spotted In London Rocking Kenzo Tiger Logo Tee & Printed Casual Pants

    And she does it again...she's gained my attention amongst everyone else's! Lol. Our emotional fashionista was recently spotted leaving her hotel to attend Jay-Z's party at The Arts Club in Mayfair. Yes, she's still in London. I'm very confused on how the weather is in London town. Lol. You will see some people in flip flops, shorts and other summer gear. While some celebs are rocking boots, coats, and scarves. And RiRi is totally rocking a full leather panel coat. Sheesh. I'm so confused- and homegirl in the back has on flip flops. Anyway...I know we are all interested in what Rihanna is wearing. She's wearing a Kenzo Tiger Logo tee ($125), Kenzo Casual Pants ($341), some black pumps, sunglasses, gold hoops, and her Gucci Flag bag ($1,090).
    I must say I'm totally not feeling this look but for some reason I'm loving her swag. Rihanna always makes me love her style but I wouldn't dare try to rock it. I guess she likes it that way. She is definitely original. And for that very reason I did not really recreate this look. I've linked the actual items and added some of the accessories for less. So if you are balling like RiRi go ahead and purchase her Kenzo and Gucci items. Check it out below.
    Thoughts?

STYLE MOTIVATION: Looks To Try This Fall!

STYLE MOTIVATION: Looks To Try This Fall!

    It's that time again...the season is changing and I have to give you the low down on all the latest trends. I know, I know...I know what you're thinking. Everything is the same and everything repeats itself. And guess what!?! You're right. Fashion just reinvents itself- there's really nothing new anymore. I means seriously- what could be invented that we don't already know about? Lol. Anyway...so I won't say these are the new trends- this is what showed up on the runways this season. In a nutshell here it is...and I've also created some looks that incorporate my top 8 favs!
    When you think of floral print you typically think of Spring/Summer but not this season! The amazing print is crossing over into fall/winter. It was all over the runways. The key to this look this season is smaller prints...bolder prints are still in but notice the smaller prints on the blazer and trouser below that I found from www.topshop.com! Florals are worn from head to toes and they can also be used to mix prints as well. So you should definitely have a few floral pieces in your wardrobe for seasons to come!
Maxi skirts were really popular this summer and they will also cross over into fall/winter. Full skirts in general are great this season. They are very versatile too- you can rock them with knee high boots, pumps, wedges, etc. You can dress them up with a blouse or down with a denim jacket or t-shirt.
    Head inside to check out more looks for the fall!!

Video: Jay-Z, Rihanna and Coldplay perform “Run This Town” and “Paradise” at the London 2012 Paralympic Closing Ceremony.

September 11, 2012 |  by  |  Video  |  No Comments  |  Share

 

    According to Billboard.com
    Jay-Z joined Coldplay at Sunday night's  Paralympics Closing Ceremony in London and performed and added a new verse to the band's hit, "Paradise.'" The rapper, who one song earlier performed "Run This Town" with Coldplay and Rihanna, references several Olympians in his new verse.
    "It's paradise, this is the story of Gabby/It's paradise, it's paradise/Tears in her eyes, she sacrificed, he sacrificed, she  paid the price/ This is everything, everything she ever  dreamed."
    He took to his website,  Life + Times, to "decode" the verse.
     "The thought behind the verse is, anyone with a disability,  just wants a sense of normality that's why they're competing in these games," he said. "That was the idea to make the verse as inclusive for as many people, and to make it as normal as possible. It's influenced by so many different things. There are parts that are influenced by Gabby Douglas, there are parts  that are influenced by Ryan Lochte, and by Serena Williams."

Rihanna Shows Off New Ink Honoring Her Grandmother

September 10, 2012 |  by  |  Instagram, Thuglife, tribute  |  No Comments  |  Share

    Rihanna has given her late grandmother the ultimate honor: She has memorialized her with a large tattoo of the goddess Isis across her chest, just below her breasts.
    The “What’s My Name” singer posted the picture of her new inkings on Instagram, using her hands to cover her breasts—showing a rare bit of Rihanna modesty. The wings of the Egyptian goddess can be seen spreading across Rihanna’s rib cage.
    Alongside the picture, Rihanna wrote: “Goddess Isis – Complete Woman – Model for future generations – #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1love”
    The Isis tat is believed to be Rihanna’s 18th tattoo, joining a flying Egyptian falcon in the shape of a handgun above her right ankle, a pistol on her thigh, cross on her collarbone, music note on her ankle, Pisces sign behind her right ear and the word “love” on her left middle finger.
    She also has a trail of stars emblazoned on the back of her neck, alongside the French saying “Rebelle Fleur,” which means rebellious flower.
    I guess it's safe to say she's addicted to ink!!

Nicki Minaj Set To Re-Release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded In November

September 7, 2012 |  by  |  NEW ALBUM, NEW MUSIC  |  No Comments  |  Share

    I’m sure you’re saying to yourself “Another Pink Friday?!?” …*sigh* yes dear! Roman will return this fall. One year after releasing her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, Nicki Minaj has announced plans to re-release the project. She shared the news with E!News while on the red carpet at the VMA’s. “I’m releasing my album in November called Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up,” said Nicki.
    The repackaging will include new material, with the first single to arrive next week. “I’m putting lots of new songs on there and I’m actually going to drop my new single like next week,” she said, while teasing, “Barbz, you are gonna spaz. You are gonna love it. You are gonna go crazy!”
    Hopefully there will be more Hip-Hop on this album and less POP. I have a feeling she wants to make it up to her fan base that have been with her since the mixtape days!
