Socialite Spotlight: Malik So Chic

Aura — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:42:19 +0000

Last night, the casts of America’s Next Top Model and other hit CW shows gathered together at secret location for their “Welcome to Reality” event. Fashion power-houses Tyra Banks and Andre Leon Talley, (the new judge on ANTM) were there in full effect, of course.

However, when browsing through the pics, an individual by the name of Malik So Chic definitely caught our attention. Every now and then, when looking through the party snapshots of New York events, we come across someone who makes us say “Who in the HELL is that and why are they on the red carpet?” Well, this was definitely one of those times. Apparently, he is a super event planner/fashionista/socialite, and is known for having a style that is somewhat of a cross between Andre Leon Talley and Pee Wee Herman.

Find out who Malik So Chic really is, after the jump.

Tyra Banks Calls it QUITS!

Tyra Banks is following Oprah’s lead once again, and is calling it quits from her hit talk show. The current season, ending in Spring 2010, will be the last season of The Tyra Show.

According to People,

Banks will focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Sticking to her mission, Banks aims to bring “positive images of women to the big screen,” says an industry insider.

“My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are,” Banks says.

Apparently, with the help of her mentors, Oprah and Tyler Perry, she gained the confidence to pursue yet another dream, “redifining the beauty of Black women in FILM”.

If you’re wondering if Top Model will still be around, don’t worry…Tyra is gearing up for the 15th season, set to premiere in February, as we speak.

Chanel Iman for H&M…So Fab!

Ian Jarrell — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:55:33 +0000

Chanel Iman is just becoming a brand all on her own now. This girl is just everywhere, and her range is crazy!. There aren’t many high fashion models that can cross over into mainstream markets. Looks like Tyra Banks was right about her being the next big thing.

Chanel is one of the new faces of H&M for their fall campaign, and we have to give her kudos for this. H&M is a big brand and its just getting bigger from here. We don’t know one person that doesn’t own something from H&M in their closet.

Kimora Attends the 09 Emery Awards + Set to Return as a Judge on ANTM

Aura — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:29:43 +0000

Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted earlier this week strutting on the red carpet of the 2009 Emery Awards at Cipriani.

For those that don’t know, here is some background on the awards:

Each year, The Emery Awards honor individuals and corporations that exemplify The Hetrick-Martin Institute’s mission of providing a safe and supportive environment for all young people – regardless of their sexual orientation or identity – as well as those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within the LGBTQ community.

We all know Kimora supports “The Kids”!

According to The NY Daily News, she will also be returning as a judge on America’s Next Top Model despite rumors that she and Tyra Banks were having “issues”. The show was getting extremely boring, but Kimora will definitely bring it back to life! More info on her return below:

According to on-set sources, Tyra Banks’ CW beauty contest (which is experiencing the lowest ratings of its 13 seasons) will get a helping hand from none other than Banks’ on-again, off-again frenemy, Kimora Lee Simmons, who Tyra has recruited to serve as a judge next season.

Kimora’s return will also kick Miss Jay out of his full-time judge position and back to his duty as a runway coach:

Kimora, who will fill the seat occupied by celebrity guest judges like Kim Kardashian, Chanel Iman and Jessica White, won’t be the only Type A personality on the bench: Word is that fan favorite J. Alexander is getting bounced back to his original role as runway coach and will be replaced by Vogue editor at large Andre Leon Talley.

Hmm…maybe this will give us a reason to actually watch the show again.

Chanel Iman is just shutting down the modeling industry one photo shoot at a time. This chick is really unstoppable! The skinny supermodel recently did a kinky little shoot for Deutsch Magazine, and we just love the shots of her in the platinum blond wig…SO FAB!

Chanel has come a long way since Tyra Banks introduced her a couple years ago on The Tyra Show.

Chanel Iman is a bad chick. She has also been officially named a Victoria’s Secret model, which will undoubtedly give her career a major push. (Although, she may need to gain some weight before we see her on the cover of Sports Illustrated )

Forbes Says Tyra Banks is One of Primetime’s Biggest Earners!

Steph — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:04:08 +0000

Tyra Banks has topped Forbes List of the richest women on primetime TV. She is definitely following footsteps of her idol Oprah Winfrey, and has earned a wopping $30 million during the 12-month period of June of 2008 to June of 2009. This money comes by way of her hit series “America’s Next Top Model”, her daytime show, and other endorsement deals. Tyra has definitely come a long way from her supermodel days and acting.

Two thumbs up for her!
