Style Jury: Zoe Kravitz

image31.jpg

Zoe Kravitz cleaned up her act for the Chanel 08/09 Cruise Show in Miami. What’s your verdict?

Just looking at this child is the equivalent to indulging in a chronic nightcap. [Shout out to Solange] No wonder the video for “I Know” was so trippy.

Meet The Jury

Jury selection was completed at R. Kelly’s child pornography trial Thursday amid contentious exchanges between prosecutors and defense attorneys, who accused each other of trying to stack the panel along racial lines.

Of the 12 jurors who will open the case, eight are white and four are black. The four alternates include two blacks, one Hispanic and one white.

There are four African Americans: a man in his 40s who works as a chef; a self-described Christian in his 50s who knows of Barry Hankerson (the uncle of late singer Aaliyah who could potentially be called as a witness); a female teacher’s aide in her late 20s or early 30s; and a middle-aged woman who is married to a pastor and resides in Olympia Fields, the same neighborhood Kelly lives in.

The eight white jurors consist of a man in his 40s who previously served as a juror on a another case; a twentysomething female criminal-justice student; a compliance officer in his 30s; an executive and father of two; a man who says he’s seen faded-out clips of the alleged video on the news but can judge the case fairly; a male recent college graduate who was once arrested for possession of marijuana and underage drinking; a 68-year-old Romanian-American who said he’s “probably not the smartest guy but will do what is best and fair”; and a young female athletic trainer who admitted to having once been the victim of rape.

Faces From The Milk Carton

Melinda Doolittle

Melinda Doolittle captured the nation’s heart during her time as a contestant on the sixth season of American Idol with her whimsical neck and melodic voice.

The singer attended the 2nd Annual Millennium Promise’s Malaria No More Event on Thursday night in New York City. Thank God she hasn’t had to resort to peddling ass in a bid to keep her name out there. There is going to be hell to pay if I ever open up a magazine and see her greased up like an sea otter during an oil spill off the Alaska coast.

If a film about what really went down on the set of Good Times was to ever be created she would be a shoe in for Esther Rolle. I’m just saying, I want to say “Damn! Damn! Damn James!” every time I see her. No audition necessary!

King

People.com reports that T.I.’s longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle gave birth to their second child together on Friday morning. Major Harris was born around midnight and weighed in at 5 lbs, 15 oz. Tiny and the baby are said to be doing fine.

King Harris [pictured above], age 3, is the couple’s first son together. That little guy finally has a partner to roll with when he hits the strip club to make it rain with Lil’ Rock and his baby brother Romello. Pin Ups here they come! Congrats!

Up In The Club: Aunt Viv

image25.jpg

Aunt Viv partied with Shawty Lo, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Keyshia Cole and Monica [I am demanding that both you of go straight home, do not pass go, do not collect a dime bag] at Industry Thursday at Pure in Atlanta last night. C+D snitches tell me that Soulja Girl was up in the VIP area passing out bottles and dancing on top of the club’s furniture yelling “Yooooooooooouuul.”

I’m just playing! But damn it I wish it were true.

Your eyes do not deceive you, that’s Chingy in the bottom of that second flick. Jesus be a guiding light back to St. Louis.

Speaking of Floyd Mayweather, he stopped by Hot 107.9 during his time in the A to talk about beating Reggie Bush’s ass for taking Kim Kardashian off the hoe stroll. Hit up Necole Bitchie for the entire scoop.

Live Side-Eye Action For The Kids

Yesterday I posted pictures of a casket sharp Tasia Mae giving off a heavy dose of raw emotion on American Idol but I had to make this a two part entry because the side-eye Simon was giving needed the proper platform to shine.

Mrs. Jenkins #1 + Mrs. Jenkins #2

No one say nothin’ bad about the new Mrs. Jenkins #1 + Mrs. Jenkins #2! Uh-huh. Those are some good women.

Now class, I better not read any mean comments about Gabrielle Union or Sanaa Lathan after I post this entry. You people rip them to shreds every two seconds from their nose to the weave to the clothes to the shoes to the ashy ankles, and it’s not alright!

The ladies [pictured above with Amy Smart and Elizabeth Banks] attended the Rogan For Target debut at Barneys in New York City on Thursday. Zoe Saldana and Joy Bryant [along with that wonky wig of hers, but you better not say anything bad about that either] also made an appearance.

Stop tearing our people down and help build them up! And yes, I’m wagging my finger and rolling my neck at my computer screen “oh no you didn’t” style because I’m sick of it. :mrgreen:

Jill Scott @ The Launch of the Butterfly Bra Collection In Harlem

If your tittayballs need to be resuscitated you have no one to blame but yourself! Although a little mouth to mouth action never hurt anybody, heh.

Ashley Stewart has co-created a new bra line with Jill Scott called The Butterfly Collection. Each style features a crossed “butterfly” double back strap [which inspired the collection’s name] as well as gel-padded shoulder straps for added comfort. If you are a member of Team Chunk packing the pocarra’s you should appreciate this one.

I’m going to test drive a bra once I collect enough aluminum cans to cash in since I’m always looking for new ways to hold my breast up. Some days I feel like Atlas trying to carry these twins around. Stop the spread of unconsciousness titties today!

Fill In The Blanks

Oh Lord

Keyshia Cole’s “sister” [1] pictured to the far right looks like she can _______ and ______ with her bare hands.

[1] Until the status of her gender is proven by a board of trusted medical experts I have no other choice but to break out the quotation marks. I need to see the receipts, show me the receipts! Check out more flicks at Sandra Rose + a blast from the past under the cut.
