GOODWILL FAB: KENTUCKY DERBY PHILANTHROPY

So...well, well, well NY Jets defensive kewtie, KERRY RHODES (Shout to Ideal PR), will be hosting his 2nd Annual Youth Football Camp event during the Kentucky Derby this weekend.
Kerry's private foundation, the RHODES Charity, has coordinated the event in concert with the Amobi Okoye Foundation. Both Kerry and Amobi (Houston Texans) are University of Louisville alum that have made it into the pros...And your dreams (LOL).
This year, the camp will be run by retired NFL baller Byron Williams. The intent is to "provide young men the opportunity to learn sportsmanship, teamwork, the basics of the game, and a sense of optimism regarding their education and skills."

After the camp, there's a celebrity basketball game...And after the show is the after party and after the party there's the hotel lobby (LOL).

CELEB THERAPY

So...I just couldn't resist posting this vid right here (LOL). It's a parody of Bey and Ri Ri in therapy sessions...The end had me in tears.

HILARIOUS!!...

WEEKEND CHUCKLES

SO...According to my girl at Around Town Brown (Shout to Sierra), the new Steve Harvey Book is a real HOT item....

So much so that Barnes & Noble has to keep it behind the checkout counter!....FYI: I can't front, it was sent to me in pdf form, from a "friend" ..Been reading at my leisure (LOL)

Maybe it should be titled, ACT LIKE A MAN, THINK LIKE A BOOSTER!!!

GOODWILL FAB: SAY YES YES YES

So...Last week, your girl Solo Angel (SOLANGE) was advocating safe(r) sex on behalf of The Body Shop and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation...

She was also telling all the tween-agers to say YES YES YES (yeah that's the official name) by supporting her new public awareness campaign.

It's a collaborative partnership that involves a new cause related product launch, TANTALISING LIP BUTTER, and proceeds benefiting youth grassroots HIV and AIDS awareness projects...

Interesting

U OWE SOMEBODY A CHECK FOR THIS

So...CASSIE (Me & You) decided to shave her head in an effort to notify the world of her Rockstar status...hmmm

The true free spirits of the world, i.e. KELIS, never seem to get the props they are due...They're often considered weird until the world catches up with them.

Homegirl could of at least mixed things up a bit...


FYI: ROCKSTAR status, whatever that is, is a state of mind...NOT a hack job (pun intended).

MY BELOVED BROOKLYN

So...ROCAWEAR released the new viral ad for its latest campaign, Brooklyn Go Hard.

Jay's star power is undeniable...

But, IMO ROCAWEAR had a lot more potential and marketability back when Dame was involved

HOT promo though!

FREAKONOMICS 101

So...I heart MADONNA. She is, hands down, one of the best to ever do it with minimal talent, an iron will and the marketing savvy to stay relevant for decades...An icon (truly)

...Recently, CHRISTIES auctioned off some black & white pics of Ms. M posing nude for famed photographer Lee Freidlander back in the day, circa 1979.

FYI: She was a 20-year old dancer trying to make ends meet when she answered Friedlander's newspaper ad. She only earned $25 for that shoot...She also posed for Martin Schreiber.

The full frontal image sold for $37,500 although it was only estimated at $15,000.

LUV HER!!
