New Breakout Star, RITA ORA, Gives Rihanna Run For Her Money...With High-Fashion Taste!

Rita Ora in Hussein Chalayan

I first heard of Rita Ora on the fashion circuit, yesterday, while I was on the internet. First, I thought she was this new video model, but turns out Rita is this new singer that has been signed to Jay-Z's RocNation label. She also is supposed to be linked to Rob Kardashian.

So I checked out Rita's fashion choices, and I've got to say I've got this strong 'RATED R RIHANNA ERA' vibe off Rita. Now, Rita is her own person, but aside from Rihanna's dirty rocker look she's been sporting lately, it's nice to see something fresh.

See more pictures of Rita Ora in recent weeks:

Hmm... you BEST believe I'll be following this girl... RITA ORA, gotta remember that.

Beyonce and Jay-Z in NYC w/ Blue Ivy Carter; Bey in Isabel Marant Sneakers

Nice to see this new family going around town, especially having a child who is already a brand: BLUE IVY. Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted in NYC in their street clothes looking SWAG-a-licious. Jay had on his usual street great with Air Jordan sneakers (what I like about his look is that it's STREET, but never TOO street).

Bey has these vintage glasses, beanie, leather jeans, and Isabel Marant sneakers (the sneaker with a CONCEALED heel) for $725.

NIIIIIIICE.

Beyonce On Feb. 2012 Magazine Cover (But Pre- Baby Blue Ivy) + RECENT SPOTTING Of Bey and Jay-Z At Nets Game!

Take a brief lookback at Beyonce's February 2012 magazine cover for DT (above) which was pre- baby Blue Ivy. If this looks familiar to you, then yes, the picture features the same dress and hairstyle Bey had worn for her music video, Best I Never Had.

And below is a RECENT spotting of Beyonce and Jay-Z at a New Jersey Nets game. Jay-Z looked his cool, natural self with a sweater, khaki jeans, and Timberlands. Bey rocked it HOTT in her yellow blazer, black jeans, and embellished gold/black Christian Louboutin platform heels. Nice to see them out and enjoying each other...

(If This Is True) Simon Cowell Offers Beyonce $500M To Be X-FACTOR Head; Poised To Be 1st Black BILLI Music Artist & Model!

Media Takeout often produces confirmed truths by rumors, and a lot of times RUBBISH.

But let's see here... it is REPORTED that Simon Cowell offered Beyonce Giselle Knowles $500 MILLION (5-yr, $100M/yr contract) to become the new head of X-Factor. If this is true and Beyonce accepts, she will become the world's first BLACK BILLIONAIRE MUSIC ARTIST and MODEL, putting her in the ranks of Oprah Winfrey for entertainment.

You can only imagine what could possibly be spent on Blue Ivy Carter by both parents.

So we'll see. In the meantime, check out some of Beyonce's latest and greatest looks, prior and during pregnancy:

I hated this dress when I first saw it.... then it grew on me.

Cool pics, ain't they? Heyyy.... wipe up your drool and close your mouth.

BEYONCE's Last Maternity Outfit Before Giving Birth To Baby Blue!

As many of you worldwide already know, Beyonce has kept her birthing date and whereabouts a HUGE, HUGE secret. From the gestation of her pregnancy to the birthing place, everything was kept under wraps. I wonder why to such extreme lengths as this:

Beyonce reportedly rented an entire maternity ward floor in a New York hospital to a tune of approximately $1 MILLION usd. No cameras and mobile devices of any type were allowed on that floor. WOW, BABY IVY BLUE (or BLUE IVY) was ballin' even before she left the womb.

Anyway, check out Beyonce's last maternity outfit before giving birth. She was seen wearing low heels, fitted jeans, vintage red Chanel purse, a fancy scarf that seemed to include and complement all of the colors of Bey's outfit.

Man, she was sure rockin' it the WHOLE 9 MONTHS!

BEYONCE On Cover of Glamour Paris Magazine (Un-Preggers! So When Was This Taken?)

These new February 2012 GLAMOUR Magazine pictures were obviously taken before Beyonce's pregnancy really picked up speed, because I don't think even PHOTOSHOP can make Beyonce really small. The photographer was Michelangelo de Battista. And nonetheless, Bey looks great.

Beyonce was reportedly spotted with Jay-Z in Brooklyn, around the holidays, and she was reportedly wearing very high heels and was ENORMOUS in pregnancy:

She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman. She looked like she was about to give birth.” - Paparazzi

Bey's still rocking it, fashion and all!  That dress is RIGHT! She's reportedly working on her 5th album RIGHT NOW (while preggers... wow).

JAY-Z At B-Ball Game In IDEAL Denim Outfit and Air Yeezy Sneakers

Jay-Z is rarely featured here in my blog due to his lackluster style sometimes, but today... looks like he got it right!

Check out the above picture of Jay's denim jeans and matching denim shirt, along with a new colorway of Air Yeezy sneakers (Kanye West's Nike design).

*Clapping* Good job, man!

Oh BTW, I went into Macy's on Dec. 28, 2011 and got a BARGAIN DEAL on two Levi's denim jackets (one bleached, one gray) for a total of $52.00! Original price for each jacket was $78.00! That means if at original price, I would have paid around $160.00 (tax included)!! $52.00 is EXCELLENT!!!

Jay-Z Announces Name Change Of New Jersey Nets To 'Brooklyn Nets' ... In Tom Ford Suit

Not so often do I see mogul Jay-Z wearing a suit, but when he does, he does it WELL. Check out Jay-Z in his suit by Tom Ford as he announces an official name-change of New Jersey Nets to BROOKLYN NETS.

Wow, the power to change a team name went pretty well with that power suit (GRAY IS AN EXCELLENT COLOR CHOICE FOR A POWER SUIT).

BEYONCE and JAY-Z Are Remarkable 'Bizness' Couple; Beyonce '4' To Debut #1 In Several Countries

 

Yes indeed-y, Beyonce and Jay-Z are an amazing couple because of how they run their relationship to avoid flax from the media, as well as HOW they handle the media according to business. As Beyonce moves forward with her album despite rumors of sluggish sales, Beyonce's camp assure that her latest album will debut as high as #1 in several countries all over the world.

Beyonce also has Jay-Z accompanying her in Paris; she's doing an early promo in the UK, which would (according to Necole B***hie) explain the correlation between the far higher anticipation of Beyonce in the UK and her starting her promo and tour early in the UK (same situation with Rihanna).

And may I add, BEYONCE LOOKS WAYY HOTT in that dress and 6-inch Louboutins... and fist bump to Jay-Z for keeping' it classic with his white Adidas shelltoes.

BEYONCE and JAY-Z Are Crazy In Love... In Paris!!

Aww... would you look at that?

It's so nice to feel the LOVE in the air.... SPRINGTIME IN PARIS. Check out Beyonce (in a much better outfit) going on a stroll with her hubby Jay-Z. They dressed very casual, and even though Beyonce's nude Louboutins were far from that, her look came together flawlessly. This is very IN for Spring/ Summer 2011.

Big THUMBS UP to Bey. And how humble can Jay-Z be when he is spotted off-screen/stage? In these photos, he doesn't even look like he's worth north of $400 MILLION..... but he is.

Update: Jay-Z is wearing a BALMAIN hoodie for roughly $950, and Beyonce's jacket is by Isabel Marant for approximately $2,400!

'Like' Or 'Take A Hike': JAY-Z's New Dreadlocks and ROCKSTAR Sneakers

Recently, Jay-Z has been growing his hair out, indicative of making a new album. But his hair has been growing out longer, indicative of SMALL DREADS. I don't have a close-up, but as soon as I get one, I'll update you.

By the way, check out Jay-Z's HOTT sneakers from Maison Martin Margiela for $925. My jaw dropped from the chain detail.



Anyhoo...

So whatcha think? Like the dreads or NO?
Or you like the shoes better?

Oh You Fancy, Huh? Forbes Magazine Crowns Top 5 Hip-Hop Cash Kings

You gotta hand Diddy his props. His clever brainstorming and execution of "Coming Home" to the '80s TRADITION got people all excited and on-board the Diddy Train. Now, if everyone else had that same kind of drive Diddy did to bring this project to pass, especially those who want to make a positive impact in their community, OMG imagine what this world would be like!!

According to FORBES MAGAZINE, Diddy of Diddy Dirty Money was crowned Wealthiest Hip-Hop King at $475 MILLION from lucrative deals in the U.S. and abroad. JAY-Z is close behind at $450 MILLION. Next is BEATS giant Dr. Dre at $125 MILLION. And last is a tie with 50 Cent and Birdman at $100 MILLION (Y'all though 50 was broke).

Now, the whole point of me posting this is because just about all of these men have clothing labels that they work hard to sell and brand to the urban population. We may not have clothing brands, but we do have a brand. What is your brand? What are you selling that will make a positive impact and in turn will make you wealthy?

Keepin' It Casual In Grays: JAY-Z and BEYONCE

Except for the HOTT 6-inch Christian Louboutins Beyonce was wearing, the SUPERCOUPLE was dressing casual in shades of gray, chilling at the B-ball game. Jay also chatted with new Nets player Deron Williams (Jay has a minority stake in the team) and check out the background with the "RocaWear" chairs and other logos. I like that. I envision my logo being on seats like that one day.

Jay-Z had a simple T-shirt, distressed jeans (who knows, they probably cost a small fortune but the look is still decent), and some Jordans that have seen a coupla miles of walking (the shoes feel great that way). Beyonce had on a short-sleeved gray sweater, gray jeans... and them heels.

It's just great to see JAY and BEY lovin' it up on the court after them rumors...

JAY-Z and LEBRON JAMES Go 'Humanitarian': Presents Renovated Gym For L.A. Youth

I just love it... my heart is warmed when I see anyone doing a service to their community or even to a community that is not their own. Los Angeles is clearly not Lebron's or Jay-Z's own; they presented a newly renovated gym, during NBA's All-Star weekend, to the youth of L.A. through Boys & Girls Club and sponsorship by Sprite. Everyone had a good time, these two moguls enjoy what they do, and it really shines through the community.

If you don't know me, I want you to know right now that I LOVE to give back to the community. I have a program that I'm growing that services kids in the Detroit area. See http://justbcuz.org .

Jay-Z talking to reporter; he must be working on new music (look @ the hair)

JAY-Z and KANYE WEST: Madd Style As They Perform In Las Vegas (New Year's Eve)!

Well, you already know these artsists MUST put on a show every time they perform; they're SUPERSTARS-- and we are, too.

They were spotted looking cool @ the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas in their very own kind of style-- Kanye dressed down in a denim jacket, T-shirt, and leather pants and Jay-Z donning a tuxedo, RAPPING, like only a very few people can--wait-- I think that's only Jay-Z. There were several other stars there including his wife Beyonce and Diddy, Coldplay, and Forest Whitaker. See more photos:

Like the looks? You can find them just about anywhere; it's easy to obtain and easy on your money too..

JAY-Z's Mug Is Quite... BREATHTAKING, But He Shops At Lavish Stores... YUP!!

Jay-Z is known as Camel Face, and whatever name people give him, but his business hustle is on-point. I mean, $63 MILLION in earnings is definitely not laughable. And he sure spent it at Hermes, one of the most luxurious stores IN THE WORLD, where $300 silk scarves and $10,000 bags are the absolute norm.

I wonder what he got Beyonce....

JAY-Z Wears A "Jesus Is Lord" T-Shirt; Hmm... Has He Gotten A Revelation?

Jay-Z was spotted a few days ago wearing a Givenchy "Jesus Is Lord" t-shirt for $195. And while I should be happy that this hip-hop king is representing the kingdom of God, I come to find it a little skeptical.

Kanye West wore this shirt before Jay-Z did, and then now Jay-Z wears one. Both of these guys were accused of being in the Illuminati so apparently there's this sudden different direction that they've taken by representation of this shirt. 

I wonder what's their motive... if they're actually, really representing Jesus in their own kinda way, I guess I have to put out a lil' "Amen!"

 

Hip Hop Royalty + TV Queen = BAAAMMMM!!!!! Guess Who...

For a special evening, Hip Hop King/ Avid businessman JAY-Z was featured as a guest on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," which was filmed at the Sydney Opera House (Australia). whenever these two people meet, it's always a "must-watch" (If you missed the episode, just visit http://oprah.com/ ).

If you wanted to know why Oprah was so far away, she was filming an special "Australian Outback Adventure" for her show. This project is a tie-in with Winfrey's soon-coming network, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

But BOTTOM LINE folks, check out Jay-Z's sneakers; I saw this on UpscaleHype. He always likes to keep it classy and understated...what can I say.... LESS IS CERTAINLY MORE. The sneakers were by Balenciaga for $525. See close-up below...

BEYONCE Rocks Custom $30K Hermes Bag x Buys JAY-Z A $2m BUGATTI!

Queen Bey, Queen Bey, Queen Bey... JAY-Z was sure glad to "put a ring on it." Beyonce is known to be frugal and is a 'make-sense' shopper and spends far less than she would have when we're talking about the ratio of wealth/income to cash burn rate.

But heyyyy.... it was JAY-Z's birthday, so why not shell out a lil' bit of cash?

Beyonce knocked the haters dead when she was spotted with her husband, carrying a custom spiked Hermes Birkin bag valued at $30,000!! To this day, I'm still trying to figure out why that bag costs so much money. I understand its exclusivity and painstaking craftsmanship, but WOOOOWWWW....

She also reportedly bought JAY-Z a brand-new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport valued at more than $2 million dollars! Never heard of it?? Well it is the car to see and to be seen in. It comes ready with a 1001-hp, 8.0 Liter, quad-turbo W-16 engine, butter-smooth seats, vault-like structure, and a humble-looking attitude.

This car simply means BOSS MONEY and that "you have arrived." only the best of the best should have it; I'm not feeling the latest rappers copping these Bugatti's just to show off; it cheapens the image of the car, which is uber-exclusive, uber-sporty, yet very NOBLE, meaning a person of Jay-Z's status and the like (music, fashion, Wall Street, etc.) should have this kind of car.

Beyonce, you go girl!!!

(She reportedly earned ~$87 million THIS YEAR..)
