Funny - We recently saw behind the scene images of Kanye West copying the design of a few inexpensive shoes to create his line of Louis Vuitton sneakers (Vans, High Top Reeboks, Candies...etc)...

Now, Marc Jacobs has designed the Raindrop Besace for Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 collection. All websites and blogs are reporting that this handbag was inspired by GLADD trash bags or are these actually made out of the GLADD trash bags???

Beyonce:

Many websites and blogspots are circulating this picture of Beyonce. They are stating that this is a 'morning' shot of the singer without her makeup and wig.

Funny - If she just woke up, why is she wearing make-up and a teased out wig?

The image below is of beyonce during her time with Destiny Child. The singer was getting make-up and fake eye lashes applied. One side of her face is manly, pale and she look totally different without make-up.



Here's the actual video:

Here are 10 Questions answered by the musician; Ozzy Osbourne:

Story Time:

Say it ain't so...

There's a book heating up the urban book shelves titled "Take Her Man". The story line seems a bit common and a lot like the singer 'Beyonce Knowles' personal life. Funny - I wonder if Beyonce granted 'Grace Octavia' permission to use her name in a published novel. It's also strange that there's a character name "Tasha" (rhymes with Sasha) and Lionel (Beyonce's old flame) and the author has roots in New York, City and oddly resembles Matthew Knowles and Kelly Rowland (prior to those surgical procedures).

Judge for yourself...

Here's a paragraph from the actual novel:



Take Her Man: Grace Octavia

Jay-Z

It seems as if the rapper is eager to build a hotel in his home state of New York.

He recently filed a lawsuit against Highland Capital Management for failing to deliver on a loan agreement.

According to Businessweek:

Shawn Carter, the rap music artist and Rocawear clothing business founder known as Jay-Z, sued the investment firm Highland Capital Management LP in a dispute over loan guarantees.

Carter, in his complaint filed yesterday in federal court in New York, claims Highland and co-defendant NexBank SSB are attempting to “bleed” from him funds in excess of those he and two other men pledged to pay when they guaranteed the non- principal obligations of a company planning to build a hotel in Manhattan’s west side neighborhood of Chelsea.

Highland Capital, based in Dallas, was founded by James Dondero and Mark Okada in 1993. It oversees about $25 billion in assets, chiefly in credit markets. NexBank is based in the same city.

Highland and NexBank acted in bad faith when they declined to clear Carter and his fellow guarantors of their obligations after receiving a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the property, according to the complaint.

The rap star is seeking a declaratory judgment that he has met those obligations. He’s also seeking damages of more than $3.7 million for the additional interest and other costs incurred while still being held liable under the agreements.

Building hotels is the new retirement plan for artist and entertainers within Hollywood.

According to Michael:

Michael Girgenti is demanding that Kourtney gives him a paternity test.

Many websites are reporting that Kourtney is very upset over Michael's claims.
