But we loved the rest of Alicia's morning look. She rocked a black mesh bodysuit with a pair of bright fuchsia trousers and some simple black sandals.  She knows what works for her body.
Earlier this week, she talked to ABC News about her new initiative, "Empowered" where she dialogues with women around the US who are living with HIV.  She told ABC, 
"Talking about HIV-AIDS, you know, it’s critical and it is our generation’s issue and if we don’t talk about it now, it’s going to continue. We tend to have a good international dialogue, like a good, healthy dialogue, but we’re not really discussing it in America. … We have to learn as much as we can and we have to share with as many people we can.”

Wiz: I was just like, “What did you do that for?” I was just like, “Is that what you really want to do?”

On Wiz’ love for weed:
Amber: I’ve never seen him not high. I don’t know what he’s like not high.
Wiz: I wasn’t high when we signed our marital papers.

Lamar Odom's down turn continues as he was arrested early this morning in the San Fernando Valley.  And he was booked for a DUI after showing obvious signs of intoxication...of some sort.

Details inside...
After going too slow (50 mph) on the 101 Freeway at 3:45am PST, Lamar Odom was stopped by Highway Patrol.  And everything went completely downhill from there.
According to TMZ, CHP noticed clear signs of Lamar "driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol," and he failed all sobriety tests.  He refused to take to any chemical tests once he was booked.
It took Lamar driving 3 exits before he actually decided to pull over once he saw and heard the sirens and flashing lights.
As of now, Lamar is being held on $15,000 bail. 
Lamar has been in the news lately for an alleged crack addiction.  And supposedly his wife, Khloe Kardashian Odom, is on the verge of splitting but is making a last ditch attempt to help him.

Jamie Foxx Speaks On Harry Belafonte During Touching Speech: ‘Let’s Have Some Respect For Our Elders’


Screen Shot 2013-08-29 at 12.11.51 PM
Did Jamie Foxx call out Jay Z, Kanye West and other entertainers at the March On Washington?
Earlier this year, when social activist Harry Belafonte expressed that he feels as though Jay Z, Beyonce and ”other high-profile artists” have turned their back on social responsibility, there was huge controversy surrounding his statements, and it eventually led to Jay responding in an interview with the infamous line, “My presence is charity.”
Although most celebs backed off from speaking out or choosing sides, Jamie Foxx seems to share the same sentiments as Harry Belafonte and believes that entertainers definitely should be doing more!  Yesterday, while celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., he took to the podium and delivered a touching speech that co-signed Harry Belafonte’s statements and encouraged entertainers to step it up, especially Jay Z, Beyonce and Kanye West.
Catch what he said below:
I’m here to celebrate what Dr. King did 50 years [ago], I’m not even probably going to read from the teleprompter because I’m just going to speak from my heart. I’m going to tell you right now, that everybody my age and all the entertainers, it’s time for us to stand up now and renew this dream. That’s what we got to do. I was affected by the Trayvon Martin situation. I was affected by Newtown and Sandy Hook. I’m affected by those things, so it’s time for us now to pick up. Harry Belafonte saw me at the Image Awards and he asked me what am I willing to do.  He took it a step further and we went to dinner and my daughter who is 19 years old –I said, ‘Listen, if you want to get inspired, come listen to this man speak.’ When I sat with Mr. Belafonte, he asked my daughter, ‘How old are you?’ And my daughter said, ’19.’  I said, ‘Mr. Belafonte what were you doing at 19?’ He said, ‘I was coming home from World War 2 and when I got back to America I wasn’t allowed to vote.  I love America, but I realized I had more work to do. So myself, Al, Jesse, and Martin, we marched.” I said, ‘Wait a minute man, you sound like you’re naming a boy band group, what do you mean? Who are these guys’ names?’ He looked at my daughter and said, ‘Martin Luther King, have you heard of him?’  We sat there and we cried.
What we need to do now, is pick it up now so when we’re 87 years old talking to the other young folks we can say, ‘It was me, Will Smith, Jay Z, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington,’  and the list goes on and on. Don’t make me start preaching up here. Last but not least, I have to recognize Mr. Berry Gordy and not only did Harry Belafonte bail Martin Luther King out of jail so that he could march he also paid for all of Coretta Scott-King’s bills as long as she was on this planet.
Young folks let’s have some respect for our elders…
This isn’t the first time Jamie has referenced Harry Belafonte in a speech while expressing that he believes he should be doing more as an entertainer. This year, during his NAACP Image Award acceptance speech, he said:
I had so many things I wanted to say, but after watching and listening to Harry Belafonte speak, sometimes I feel like somehow I failed in being caught up in what I do, but I guarantee you that I’m going to work a lot harder man.

Beyonce GETS WILD At A Possible Shoot At Coney Island


 photo spl602248_003_zps42cbefa1.jpg 
Beyonce Knowles has been chillin' out in Brooklyn all day Thursday.  And she's got the pics to prove it.  Check out her, her team and friends hitting the rides and having some type of photo/video shoot inside...
Before she heads to Philly to headline Day 1 of the Budweiser Made In America Festival on Saturday, the blonde bob rocking Mrs. Carter had some major fun in Brooklyn in Coney Island.  Model Jourdan Dunn, who has a cooking channel on Mr. Carter's Life+Times website, was right there with her.  And so were the cameras.   
 photo spl602248_011_zps894fd9d6.jpg
It's unclear if they were just her own cameras for her own Tumblr page, or if she was doing an actual video or photoshoot.  But the diva looked cute in a tank top and jeans and Prada zip front lug boots as she screamed it out on the wild rides with her stylist Ty Hunter and the rest of her team:

Pharrell Williams Opens Up About FianceƩ Helen Lasichanh, Their SON Rocket & WRITING Hit Songs In The Shower!


 photo DSC_5906.jpg
"Blurred Lines" producer Pharrell Williams appeared on the "TODAY" show where he opened up about his fiancee and son--a rare ocassion--and revealed that he writes many of his hits in the shower!  Watch the interview inside....

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy


With 16-Grammy nominations and 3-wins to his credit, producer Pharrell Williams appeared on "TODAY" this morning where he revealed that he's written most of the songs you love ("Blurred Lines", "Milkshake", "Hollaback Girl") in the shower.  "I can write pretty much anywhere, but in the shower it's, like, where it's, like, really great," He added that Nelly's "Hot in Herre" was one of his biggest shower-penned songs.
Reflecting on his childhood in Virginia Beach, he said he met his producing partner Chad Hugo at band camp.  He said, "Most of us were kinda nerdy. Nobody sort of walked in, like, you know, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl-cool." While telling the story of his first encounter with Chad, he joked "One year....when I was at band camp" (inside joke from American Pie).
So what does he consider to be his best work? He said, “The best song that I’ve ever co-written was my son.” (referring to his son Rocket, with fiancĆ©e Helen Lasichanh).  He even penned a track for his son, called "Rocket", on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack.
He added that he can't give anyone relationship advice but says his relationship with Helen is "awesome" and she's his "bestie”.  “Every night’s like a sleepover.”  Interesting to hear Skateboard P talk about daddyhood.
Pharrell will appear as a mentor on Rihanna's new fashion reality competition show "Styled to Rock" on the Style Network beginning Nov. 5th.

Jay-Z's "Holy Grail" Ft. Justin Timberlake


 photo ScreenShot2013-08-29at20820PM_zps1b8e91fd.png
Just in time for his Budweiser Made In America festival kicking off this Saturday in Philly, Jay-Z just dropped his brand new video for "Holy Grail" ft. his Legends of Summer homie Justin Timberlake.

Check out the dark vid inside...

 photo ScreenShot2013-08-29at21009PM_zpsa63d3201.png
Jay-Z and JT shot their video separately, but director Anthony Mandler made it a seamless collabo effort.  In the vid just released via Facebook, Jay is seen in a dark warehouse-like space contemplating the need for the drug of fame.  And Justin is seen in front of a car--that is set on fire--singing about the ups and downs of the business. 
The vid gets chopped and screwed on some parts for emphasis, and ends with a mountain of cups of champagne "runneth" over. 
Check out the "Holy Grail" video, for the song that appears on Mr. Carter's latest album Magna Carta Holy Grail, below.

 photo RitaOra2013MTVVideoMusicAwardsRedCarpetifX-54dzXbNl_zpsdbf6a887.jpg
Never thought we'd say this, but Rita Ora gave us life on the carpet. And was pretty much the only one to do so. Outside the Brooklyn Barclays Center in front of MTV's Brooklyn Bridge replica, the "R.I.P." singer hit the carpet in this striking Alexandre Vauthier Couture ensemble.
 photo 2013MTVVideoMusicAwardsArrivalsK4pRPRuKH8Zl_zpse6255f03.jpg
The look was complete with a sequin long sleeved deep plunging top, a folded over black & white waist and a dramatic feather skirt with an exaggerated train and a slit up to the whoohah. But she pulled it off fabulously, esp. with the short blonde bob and black & gold ankle strap Louboutins.

The Smith kids made their way to the red carpet after been driven there with dad Will. Willow kept it trendy in denim G-Star overalls paired with a vintage ‘The Runaways’ tee and Givenchy ‘Shark Lock’ wedge booties. Must be nice to be wearing Givenchy before you even hit your teenage years.
Her big brother Jaden rocked a simple Alexander Wang black tee, his own MSFTSrep’s signature jogging pants and Nike sneakers.
