Once upon a time, not long ago, Madonna and the design team of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were as thick as thieves. They outfitted her for tours, she appeared in their ads; everyone was part of a big old fashion family. Now it seems there’s a little strife in the household.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony‘s impending split will not effect their clothing line for Kohl’s. Pardon me while I heave a sigh of relief.

Ever since Charlie Sheen joined Twitter about 22 hours ago, his popularity has grown so exponentially that he will no doubt reach 1 million followers by the time I’ve finished writing this. But with only 16 tweets to his name, what nuggets of mind-altering awesome has he revealed upon the world?

P. Diddy‘s heart must have grown two sizes over the holidays as he’s footing the bill for model Miyoki Jones‘ hair repair.

A model’s hair caught fire during a party thrown by The “Artist” Occasionally Known as Diddy in a penthouse of Manhattan hotel, London NYC, on Tuesday. And it’s on video. The girl is okay so it’s totally fine to laugh at it.

A lot of controversy is happening around this spread started by commentors of FashionGoneRogue, many have said that Diddy looks emotionless, that there is no chemistry between the two ‘models,’ others think that this was the point of the spread. What do you guys think?

Funny thing is, I was just having a conversation about this issue with one of my girls nearly a week or two ago…Yes, the whole color complex thing is still alive and very real. Right up there with the good hair debate…Tyra has been known to address the light vs. dark issue on her show…
I, for one, am medium brown, but not light-skinned (especially not in the summertime). She on the other hand is of Puerto Rican/Cuban descent, so she could just as easily pass as a light-skinned or mixed chica…She’s also very pretty, but…
Remember all that hoopla about L’Oreal whitewashing Bey’s print ad?…And consider the successful black female entertainers in the game now, I’d say Na Na Campbell, Iman and Ciara are literally the few standouts that come to mind in terms of brown skin beauty…
On the larger stage, however, lighter girls still appear to dominate…Bey, Halle, Alicia, Rih Rih, you get what I’m sayin’…
FYI: Ciroc Vodka has since put out a statement aka disclaimer vilifying Puffy’s, now infamous, casting call announcement.
On another note, as smart and entertaining as he is…Puffy scares the ish outta me…People always seem to leave him differently…i.e., LOON…and SLIM from 112 ain’t so slim anymore (LOL)…And we all know about MASE, SHYNE and BIGGIE…need I go on?
Your thoughts?

NOTE to celebrities: You can’t treat the inauguration like a Hollywood party.
While Halle Berry and Sharon Stone each shelled out $50,000 for President-elect Barack Obama’s swearing-in celebration, there are some cheaper celebrities who want to get in on name alone. “It’s hilarious,” said one insider. “Sean Combs is trying to get four tickets to the inauguration. He’s acting like it’s a party at Bungalow 8, like they should just let him in. He’s too cheap to pay and thinks he can just show up.”
