Spotted: Trina @ Club Imperial + Behind the Scenes of Her New Video

Aura — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:20:03 +0000

Trina was in NYC over the weekend making her rounds to various clubs and shooting a video for her single, “That’s My Attitude”. She looks GREAT, so we’ll forgive her for her questionable “Empire State of Mind” (Remix) that she dropped on the net last week.

Check out her behind the scenes video below:

By the way, its good that Trina was making her rounds, but we would NEVER be caught dead at Club Imperial. You’ll see why when you hop the velvet rope.

Sighhh. Yes, this is the kind of nonsense that goes on there. We’ll pass.

Steph — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:56:50 +0000

Look who decided to up and move to NYC…Yes Singer Courtney Love. She tells the NY Daily News that she was chased out of her own town Los Angeles , by her former employees.

One night, Love says, “a flood of guys, at least 10, came to my house. They said there was an ambulance outside, even though we never saw one. I tried to be charming. But one of the guys points a gun at me. My daughter, Frances, ran and hid under the house.”

Love is known for her crazy antics and drug abuse, but she will fit right into the crazy life of NYC. She is living in the Tribeca area.

All we can say is Welcome Courtney to NY! Hope to catch you around town.

Spotted: Steve Stoute at Blue Ribbon Sushi

Aura — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:31:20 +0000

Earlier this week, media mogul/music & advertising executive, Steve Stoute, was seen in Yonkers with Mary J. Blige, cutting the ribbon for the Mary J. Blige Center for Women, and last night, we spotted him again while grabbing a bite at Blue Ribbon Sushi. Nowadays, Stoute seems to be most known for being Jay-Z’s business partner in Translation Marketing, but he was also Nas’ on and off again manager for quite some time.

For those that don’t know, the Blue Ribbon Restaurants (Blue Ribbon Sushi and Blue Ribbon Sushi/Bar & Grilll) are to die for, and several celebrities and fabulous New Yorkers can be spotted there on any given day.

Blue Ribbon Sushi is located at:

119 Sullivan St.

Designer Manolo Blahnick is Sick of “Sex and the City” + On Location Pics

Aura — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:42:26 +0000

The stars of Sex and the City have been spotted out and about in the city a lot recently shooting for the sequel to the hit movie, and they have been stirring up loads of trouble along the way. The fans in New York can barely contain themselves, and they have been practically rioting to get a chance to get close to the stars.

New Yorkers may not be getting enough of the franchise, but world renowned shoe designer, Manolo Blahnick, who’s footwear is often featured on the show, is plain old SICK of hearing about Sex and the City.

“If people talk to me about Sex And The City, I get sick,” he revealed in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph.

“The taxi drivers recognize me now. It becomes too much and I don’t feel comfortable. I have never wanted to be a celebrity designer.”

Wow. At least for once a designer isn’t lashing out against a rapper of sorts for giving his brand free publicity. Honestly, he needs to be blaming Jay-Z and Beyonce as well, as much as they drop the name “Manolo“. We all know that Bey is to blame for those Steve Madden knockoffs.

These Two Would Make a Good Couple…

Aura — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:49:10 +0000

Solange and DC Rapper, Wale, were seen yesterday chillaxing in Central Park. We’re not going to cry couple just yet, but they do seem like a good fit. They are always chatting with each other on Twitter and seem to have a lot in common from the outside looking in (outspoken personalities, eclectic tastes in music, etc). Let’s hear a collective “Awwwwwwww”…

Wale was also featured on BET’s Rising Icons earlier this week. Check out video from episode after the jump.

Jay-Z Set to Play Madison Square Garden on 9/11

Aura — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:50:24 +0000

A HUGE Jay-Z billboard can already been seen on Madison Square Garden that announces Jay-Z’s highly anticipated 9/11 concert. Of course, this is also the release date for the equally anticipated The Blueprint 3.

“The events of September 11 challenged JAY-Z as an entertainer and a New Yorker. This charity concert serves as not just a reminder of the lives lost but as a look towards the future and the hope that arose on September 12. “This charity and concert encompass the true spirit of New York City,” commented Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter. “We are asking everyone to ‘answer the call’ and support and honor the families of those that lost their lives. There is a true camaraderie and resiliency this city showed the world in 2001 and we continue that today by taking care of our own.

For this live event, 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales and concert merchandise will go directly to “New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Benefit Fund.” Since its inception, New York Police & Fire Widow’s & Children’s Benefit Fund has distributed over $114 million to the families of New York City police and fire personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Though the Benefit Fund was initially created to assist families of New York City Fire Fighters and Police Officers, the non-profit now includes the families of Emergency Medical Services and Port Authority Officers as well. For more information on the organization, go to www.answerthecall.org”

We can already imagine how CRAZY this concert is going to be, and we’re glad to see Jay-Z doing something so big for such an important cause.
