Art Basel is the world's premier international art show for modern and contemporary works.
Thee will be free public viewings and a number of special events and
performances taking place across Miami Beach for the duration of the
show to celebrate the 10th edition.
Chicago rapper Kid Sister recently dropped a video for the "Gucci Rag Top" remix off her new EP-Kiss and Tell. Produced by Scoop Deville (Snoop, Game, Fat Joe), the remix now features a guest verse from Fool's Gold rapper Danny Brown instead of Atlanta's Gucci Mane.
Earlier this month, Solange Knowles put on her DJ hat for the Christian Louboutin 20th
Anniversary celebration and book launch at Barneys in
Beverly Hills. She was #focused.
Let me start off by saying that this is not a paid post fromBarefoot Wine & Bubbly. I'm just a fan and a blogger.
Since graduating college a few years ago, I've strayed away from beer and hard liquor as my libation of choice opting for a nice glass of wine instead. After trying several brands of "everyday wine" I've come to love the Barefoot brand for both its great taste and price point. The company is the most awarded California wine brand priced for under $15.
My favorites from their line up are the Shiraz, Moscato, and Merlot. Try the Shiraz with red sauce pastas or sharp cheese, the Moscato with fruit or mild cheese and the Merlot with beef or your favorite dessert. What's your favorite wine?
There is something especially mesmerizing about a woman who sips beautifully. I ran across the above shot of Tunisian model Hanaa Ben Abdesslem at a recent Macy's event and had to learn more about her.
Models.com labels Hanaa as a "breakthrough model" since she made her big industry debut walking for Givenchy, becoming a face of Lancome, and gracing the pages of Vogue.
Two of my favorite celebs, Pharrell Williams and CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien, joined forces over the weekend in Miami for a good cause. Pharrell hosted a cocktail reception for the Soledad O'Brien & Brad Raymond Foundation.
The foundation "provides young women with a bridge between obstacles and opportunity, giving them the experiences, education and resources to overcome unexpected barriers to success."
Love her or hate her, NeNe Leaks is the breakout star from Real Housewives of Atlanta and she's capitalizing off her fame with several new ventures. Today, NeNe stopped by Anderson Cooper's talk show to dish on the time she drunk dialed the Cooper and to promote her new wine Miss Moscato.
Oh NeNe. In addition to her new wine, NeNe is getting ready to drop a t-shirt that retails for $150. Yes. To buy this tee, you better be very rich, b**ch.
Clearly it's music video week here at Quick's Catch Up. Check out this hot performance of "End of Time" from our favorite Mom-to-B. The clip is a teaser for Beyonce's new DVD/video anthology, Elements of 4, in stores 11/29.
Ever since Trin-I-Tee 5:7 broke onto the Gospel scene with music produced by R. Kelly and an image that was more fashionable than conservative, the group has been no stranger to criticism. However, the ladies have pressed on with their message over the years and with the release of their latest #1 album, Angel and Chanelle, they are pushing their creative direction to new territories in order to bring their message to the masses.
The clip for "Bring Your Praise" is a Gospel music video unlike any that I have ever seen before, but I absolutely get the message they are trying to send. Take a look below and share your thoughts:
It looks like Lady Gaga is looking for new creative direction. After collaborating with choreographer Laurieann Gibson to create many memorable moments, Gaga officially announced today that she and Boom Kack have parted ways.
This year has been pretty tense between the ladies as they haven't quite seen eye-to-eye on the creative for Born This Way. Remember the controversy surrounding "The Edge of Glory" video? Then, Gibson admitted that she didn't like Gaga's Jo Calderone alter ego. On November 6th, Gaga announced via Twitter that Richard Jackson (Laurieann's former understudy) was her new choreographer:
Recording artist Miguel typically ends up on everyone's worst dressed list, but he got it right for his performance at the latest installment of Grey Goose Rising Icons earlier this month.
The high points of the look were his fitted, blue blazer and black and white footwear. I'm not sure where Miguel picked up his pieces, but ASOS carries a similar Shawl collared blazer for around $150 and you can get some Stacy Adams Wingtips for $75 over at Zappos.
Ironically enough, I first discovered Chromeo when Solange Knolwes was tweeting about their infectious single "Fancy Footwork" back in 2009. Solo is currently featured on "When the Night Falls"—the latest single lifted from Chromeo's new album Business Casual.
It's charitable celeb of the week time and this week it's all about animal activist Mya.
The singer (actress as of late) lent her celebrity to the North Shore
Animal League's pre-race rally & adoption event which was held over the weekend at The
Algonquin Hotel in New York City.
Mya released her last two studio albums exclusively in Japan and was the runner-up on Dancing With the Stars back in 2009. Maybe she can make a comeback here in the States soon. The last fond memory that I have of Mya is her getting her tap dance on at the end of the video for "My Love is Like...Wo."
Rihanna claims her 11th number one single this week as "We Found Love" ascends to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. To put her accomplishment in perspective, she is only the 7th artist in history to rack up 11 number ones. Billboard confirms:
Rihanna is just the seventh artist in the Hot 100's 53-year history to tally at least 11 leaders, joining the Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (18), Michael Jackson (13), Madonna (12), the Supremes (12) and Whitney Houston (11). She passes Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder, each with 10 No. 1s.
Among women, Rihanna, thus, moves into a third-place tie with Houston for most toppers, after only Carey and Madonna.
Celeb friends Beyonce and Kanye West were both spotted running errands in NYC earlier this week. Mr. West was leaving his hotel, while our favorite mom-to-B was spotted coming out of a meeting.
Kanye is featured on B's latest single, "Party," but was surprisingly absent from the cameo-heavy video which you can check out on the previous post.
