Thanksgiving is not just about stuffing your face and kicking with loved ones, but for the second year in a row you get a side of Beyonce. In case you missed it, be sure to watch Beyonce’s I Am….World Tour ABC Thanksgiving Special that Thanksgiving Eve. The DVD, which also is Beyonce’s directorial debut hits retail stores on November 30th. Is there anything this girl can’t do?!

I’m not gonna lie. For the first 15 minutes this ABC special felt like a Deja Vu of last year’s leftovers. Either way, after all that turkey, a side of Beyonce made it a great holiday.

The Louis Vuitton Don is branching out into designing footwear…again, by launching his own line of loafers. Kanye West has teamed up with shoemakers Stubbs and Wootton, who are known for their European-styled slippers and loafers. Stubbs and Wootton owner Percy Steinheart dished to the NY Post,

“We were honored that he approached us to do something together. We do a lot of crests. And (Kanye) loves crests.”

Kanye’s line is set to hit store shelves in Spring 2011.

Will you be coppin’ Yeezy’s loafers?

WILL YOU BUY LIL KIM’S HARDCORE RAGS? http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/30/will-you-buy-lil-kims-hardcore-rags/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/30/will-you-buy-lil-kims-hardcore-rags/#comments Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:24:16 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=41983 WILL YOU BUY LIL KIM’S HARDCORE RAGS?

Now that Nicki Minaj has taken her place in the rap game, Lil’ Kim has her eyes set on finding other way to make some bread. According to the AllHipHop, the pint-size rapper has opened up a beauty salon and has also launched her very own clothing line. Lil Kim opened the second Salon Se Swa beauty salon in Charlotte, NC. This past weekend, Kim and actress Meagan Good participated in “Charlotte, North Carolina Fashion Week”, where she debuted her new clothing line “24/7 Star: Goddess Collection”. The line consists of cat suits, dresses and other pieces fitting Lil Kim’s style.

Ladies, would you rock Lil Kim’s clothes? It’s not like she wears much anyway. Nonetheless, I’m really interested in seeing what the Queen Bee has put together.

Looks like Karrine “Superhead” Steffans is done exposing rappers and is more focused on teaching the ladies how to unleash their inner “Superhead” in the bedroom. The famed video vixen is dropping her fourth book, titled SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple, which according to her is a work of “faction”, a titillating blend of fact and fiction. Each chapter explores and exposes the seedy underbelly of erotic fantasies and fascinations, then provides examples of how to bring each tantric desire to life. “SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple” is slated for an August 2011 release.

Damn, Superhead is still on her grind! Can’t say porn and videos aren’t a stepping stone for any career choice. If ya ask me, Kat Stacks could learn a thing or two from her.

STR8 SNITCHIN’: LA REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM OR NOT? http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/22/str8-snitchin-la-reid-fired-from-def-jam-or-not/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/22/str8-snitchin-la-reid-fired-from-def-jam-or-not/#comments Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:32:52 +0000 Cola Janneti http://str8nyc.com/?p=41817 STR8 SNITCHIN’: LA REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM OR NOT?

The internets are buzzing with rumors about LA Reid was served his pink slip for lackluster year at Island Def Jam Music Group. Whether or not its true? Well let’s weigh the rumors…

According to XXLmag.com, it is all false. A rep from the parent company of Def Jam, Universal Music Group told the website, “[The rumors] are completely untrue and without merit.”

Prior to that Globalgrind was buzzing about Reid treated like a nobody when he was denied entry into his own office and removed from the Def Jam building. Reportedly, executives at the legendary label spent the better part of yesterday in an emergency meeting working out their next plan of action.

All I’m saying is haven’t a few of Def Jam’s artists’ record sales tank in 2010 under the guidance of LA Reid…if the shoe fits, then…u know the rest.

In addition to rumors of LA Reid being fired, there’s also talk of The Dream getting dropped from the label. WORD?! OUCH!

KANYE WEST COVERS XXL MAG & PENS FIRST ARTICLE ON HIMSELF!! http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/19/kanye-west-covers-xxl-mag-pens-first-article-on-himself/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/19/kanye-west-covers-xxl-mag-pens-first-article-on-himself/#comments Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:12:42 +0000 Cola Janneti http://str8nyc.com/?p=41723 KANYE WEST COVERS XXL MAG & PENS FIRST ARTICLE ON HIMSELF!!

The Louis Vutton Don, Kanye West, graces the cover of XXL’s October issue. Not only is he the coverboy, but he also serves as the issue’s creative director…not to mention he penned his own cover story (his first article) about himself…WOW! lol.



In his candid cover story, Ye speaks on the reaction he received from the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards debacle. “I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally,” he explains in the story. “And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV.”

“The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend,” he adds. “How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

Mr. West said that, following his VMA outburst, he immediately dedicated himself to the studio. “I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace,” he shared. “In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.”


Be sure to cop the issue hitting newstands September 28.
