The New Faces of SJ Women's Collection: Lauren London & Cassie
Mariah Show's Off Her A$$ets To Sell Perfume
I think this is the official ad for Mariah Carey's fragrance line entitled "M", being that the previous ad was obviously slacking. Why is every celebrity coming out with a fragrance? First, it was clothing and now it's perfume. I guess they want us to smell like them too. Hit up fragrance.mariahcarey.com for a free sample. Source Hollyscoop.comWednesday, August 1, 2007
"Jigga, Jigga That Cheap N*gga Jigga!": Lawsuit Alleges Jay-Z Pays 40/40 Workers Below Minimum Wage
According to the New York Post, a law suit filed back in May by a former waitress claims that Jay-Z pays his employees below minimum wage. However, Jay-Z feels that whatever management at the 40/40 Club does has nothing to do with him. Jay's lawyers argued that he and his partner Juan Perez are not employers and are simply shareholders at the club; asking the judge to dismiss the case. Now, Jay's lawyers tried to use the "b!tches are after my money because I'm a celebrity" claim. Well, Jay what drew them to work at the club was the fact that you are a celebrity! DUH! Just because you're not an employer doesn't mean your not responsible for what takes place at the club. The 40/40 wouldn't even have visitors if Jay's name wasn't attached to it.Source New York Post

"I Will Not Loose":Jay-Z Launching Multimedia Rocawear Ad Campaign
Rap mogul turned entrepreneur Jay-Z is launching a multimedia ad campaign promoting Rocawear clothing. The campaign is called "I Will Not Loose" which he explains to All Hip-Hop is "meant to inspire consumers while promoting Hip-Hop culture and the lifestyle supporting it". Now, you are looking at one smart Black boy. Like the song says, "Momma ain't raise no fool. Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. I, will, not, lose!" And he isn't lying, Jay-Z definitely knows how to make money without selling himself out, unlike his ex-partner Dame Dash; who I believe would endorse anything for some extra cash. The campaign is scheduled to drop Aug 15th on www.iwillnotloose.org. Celebrities showing their faces on the ads include Ciara, Chris Brown, Three 6 Mafia, Rich Boy, Tocarra, and more. I really wan't to say something about Tocarra, but I'm going to leave her alone for now since this is a positive subject.(lol) Y'all can also become part of the ad campaign by submitting videos telling your stories of survival. Two winners will be chosen and will be featured in Rocawear's Spring/Summer 2008 Campaign.Source All Hip Hop

Coming To A Store Near You: Roberto Cavalli Designs Fall Line For H&M
I'm so happy that Italian designer Roberto Cavalli is designing a "cheaper" line of clothing for H&M. So, all y'all wannabe fashionistas who are addicted to H&M can finally say that y'all rock Cavalli. Set to hit H&M stores November 8th of this year he will create 25 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men; primarily evening wear. Cavalli is also adding lingerie and accessories to the line. So, fellas you guys can now say, "I'm in Cavalli jeans, got on Cavalli boxers" instead of singing along with Lil' Wayne. Cavalli's reason for teaming up with H&M, "I have dedicated this collection to young people, who will be able to wear a Cavalli piece of clothing for the New Year." In other words, what he meant to say was, "I have dedicated this collection for young people who otherwise could not afford to wear a Cavalli piece of clothing had I not teamed up with H&M." LMFAO!

"You Can Stand Under My Umbrella": Rihanna Launching Umbrella Line
I have to admit when I first heard the "Umbrella" track I hated it! However, after it being frequently played on the radio and the video popping up every where, I've grown to like it. Well, enough about that. Rihanna is doing it up right now. The Bajan beauty has teamed up with Totes to release her own line of umbrellas. I can't even hate on her, make that money while this "Umbrella" craze last.
