My sister Dee, refused to believe this is a real picture. I had to assure her it was. She’s currently mourning for Auntie ReRe’s cholesterol level.

Unless his name is Eddie Murphy, and this is an old promo shot for Raw, a leather coat and no shirt is not acceptable.

This is Monica’s makeup artist…I’ll let this sink in and when, your sould has been resurrected we can discuss.

I let the boots go. Actually, I didn’t but his gold rush prospector/Paddington Bear hat is killing me softly.

She looks just like this crack head named Diane that mom used to pay to cornrow me and Dee’s hair.

Yes his dreads spell out the word 'Tipsy.'

And yes, he has a bejeweled fly swatter.

Rihanna and Pharrell?

Word on the street is that Rihanna and Pharrell are getting it in. Pharrell was spotted leaving her London hotel several times during her recent stay there.
The two have been working together on her latest album and he’s been seen leaving her hotel at all times of the day and night.
A source tells Britain's the Daily Mirror, "It's no secret that Rihanna and Pharrell have chemistry. And not just in the studio - they seem mesmerized by each other. But Chris will be gutted to learn he could have lost Rihanna to one of the sexiest men in music. Rihanna and Pharrell talk on the phone all the time and whenever she can get a break in her schedule she'll go and support him at a gig.” Source
Eh, until I see pics of them kissing I wont believe it. I have a lot of music friends who work into the wee hours on their craft. I don’t think he was handing her the business, I think they were just being all about business.

Pharrell is getting sued for a leak in his $14 million penthouse in Miami. When he bought the place from property developer Ugo Colombo he was told about an ongoing case one of the other tenants has against Ugo caliming his home is uninhabitable because of leaks coming from the penthouse.
Pharrell says Ugo promised to deal with and cover any legal costs stemming from the complaint, but in court documents, both Colombo and Williams were named as defendants. The association recently settled the dispute with Lopez for $525,000 (£350,000), but now they are seeking to recoup the money from Colombo and Williams, reports AllHipHop.com. Williams' attorney, Karl Sturge says, "We're hoping they get fixed in the next six months." Source
I wonder if he knew about this issue before or after signing on the dotted line. Because he coulda saved himself a lot of grief.

Dear Lord, who art in heaven…I implore you. WHY did you allow me to scroll?! I know I’m not the most glorious and devoted creature to lie at your feet. But please don’t subject me to this type of tomfoolery. My soul can’t take it.

Pharrell Gets Tats Lasered Off

Pharrell Williams said a while ago that he wanted to rid himself of his tattoos. Well he finally went through with hit. He underwent laser surgery to burn them from his arms.

Laser treatment b**ches! Extra crispy," the rapper wrote on his blog of the procedure. "See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain. This is our own version of Mythbusters! Laser is the new primer." Via his blog.

"It's going to be pricey, but f*** it, it's worth it. I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man," he said in early 2008.

“There's an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you." Source

That looks more painful than getting the tats to begin with.

Nelly Forms Rap Group

Rapper Nelly has teamed up with fellow artists, Akon, T-Pain, and Pharrell Williams, for form some sort of rap super-group.
He told MTV.com, "Me, Akon, T-Pain and Pharrell are talking about doing a project. We got a host of things we're trying to do - possibly put together this new 2009 (Bell Biv DeVoe) type of thing."
Nelly isn't worried about conflicted schedules getting in the way of the collaboration either.
He adds, "I don't think you try to put things together with people you don't think you can accomplish (them) with. With 'Kon, with Pain and Pharrell, I know it's more about the music than anything. It's about leaving something. I think we're all OK as far as the money thing goes. I don't think anybody is hurting. You wanna do things you can be remembered by. Make a mark. I think that's something that's foremost on all our minds."
In contrast Pharrell wont say too much aobut the project. "Those are all my boys. I'm kinda like the only one that adheres to the oath of secrecy. I don't wanna break that," and refuses to reveal what direction the sound will take, adding, "Well, seeing as though I'm supposed to be upholding my end of the bargain of upholding my oath of secrecy, I'm not so sure of how to answer that question." Source
Hmm, a ‘super-group’? I don’t know if I would use those words. They’re all fine in their own right but I (personally) wouldn’t call any of them the second coming. The only thing I can say about them is that they all have pretty distinct styles so it might be interesting to see what they come up with.

Political Poop '08

John McCain has decided to show up at the debate tonight afterall. He originally said he was going to suspend his campaign to deal with our economic crisis. He said he wasn’t going to attend if an agreement hadn’t been reached on a $700 billion bailout plan for Wall Street. Some saw the move as brilliant…others a big blunder. In any event he’s taken it all back and the first presidential debate will go on as planned.
"He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Rep. [Roy] Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans," the campaign said in a statement.
"The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the senator will travel to the debate this afternoon."
I’ll be watching…will you?

Obamapolooza!!!... There is growing support for Barack Obama in the Latino community and many A-List Latino celebs are taking their crusade to the net. Check out a commercial of the Obamistas* campaigning.

*Obamista (noun): a Latino who not only supports Sen. Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential election, but tells their friends, their compadres, their comadres, their primos, their novios, their neighbors, their co-workers, and even strangers to vote for Barack Obama as well. They likely wear pimped out Obama t-shirts, deck their car out with “Latinos for Obama” bumper stickers, and are probably organizing an election day block party where calls of “Si Se Puede” and “Viva Obama” will ring out all through the night.

More Obamapolooza…
Just for shits and giggles check out this video of the man who may very well be the next president of the United States, shakin’ his tail feather on "Soul Train". I-LOVE-IT!!!!!


Still Riding the Soul, er, I mean Obama Train… During a recent show Pharrell Williams took a stab at Sarah Palin. The crowd was chanting “Obama” when Pharrell said, "So I guess I don’t have to ask. So we feel the same way," said Pharrell. "We’re gonna do what we gotta do to make sure that the person that goes after Osama is not holding a baby in one hand and a soccer ball in the other. Ok, cool."
"But she’s a hot MILF though, isn’t she?" he added.
Ha! Anyway, Pharrell is also showing his support by designing a t-shirt for Obama’s Runway To Change” campaign. The shirt (pictured below) is called “Obama Stands Out From the Crowd”. It costs $60 and can be purchased at BarackObama.com Source

AND SPEAKING OF OBAMA APPAREL, IF YOU PLAN ON VOTING FOR OBAMA DON’T WEAR ANY OBAMA APPAREL TO THE VOTING POLLS. THIS INCLUDES HATS, T-SHIRTS, PINS, ETC. THIS IS CONSIDERED CAMPAIGNING AND CAMPAIGNING IS NOT ALLOWED AT THE POLLS. ONCE FOLKS HAVE TO GO HOME TO CHANGE THEY’RE LESS LIKELY TO COME BACK OUT TO VOTE.
SO YES, YOU’RE CATSUIT WITH OBAMA AIRBRUSH ACROSS YOUR CHEEKS IS REALLY CUTE BUT PUT IT ON AFTER YOU VOTE. UM KAY?

Pharrell's A Baby Daddy

Word on the street is that Pharrell is gonna be a father soon.
The lead singer of N.E.R.D. and Neptunes producer has impregnated a model type he met with friends in Miami this year. The unidentified woman “is very pregnant and travels with him. She hangs out with the backstage crew when he performs,” said a friend. “Pharrell is extremely private and won’t release any details.” Source
No one knows for sure who this mystery woman is or if she’s even pregnant. But my bets are on Vashtie (pictured above). They’ve been kickin it off and on for a minute. But I’m not one to gossip. So you ain’t hear it from me.
