TRACEE ELLIS ROSS of 'Girlfriends' and 'Reed Between The Lines' Does A Moving Photo Shoot! U Must See...

I LOVE THIS!!!

So interesting to see a moving photo shoot (multiple pics together to make moving images). By the way, Tracee Ellis Ross is firing up the BET network with her re-runs of 'Girlfriends' and her new show 'Reed Between the Lines'. Now she's doing more in this photo shoot for Uptown Magazine.

Tracee is seen wearing these nice and short coveralls with Isabel Marant sneakers (has a concealed pump inside). She also sports this natural but gorgeously-styled, thick red hair; it's messy, funny, just a ball of fun!

Boy, do I love this moving photo shoot :-)

Jennifer Lopez Channels her Inner 'TOUGH BRONX GIRL' for V Magazine New Issue

This is a huge turn-away from Jennifer Lopez's glamorous and sensual looks (i.e. 2012 Oscars and prior) as she sports a more TOMBOY-ish look on the latest cover of V Magazine. Jennifer Lopez is seen here channeling her 'TOUGH BRONX GIRL' image as she wears a men's jockstrap, boxer robe, training gloves, and a rolled-up white beater.

Very interesting take on a 'woman's toughness'. The background is also a nice play-in with the boxer robe and makeup.

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...

Beauties of the Weekend: SOLANGE KNOWLES and WENDY RAQUEL ROBINSON from BET's 'The Game'

Just a few pictures I want to show you for this weekend. I'm watching Whitney Houston's Celebration service televised live on BET, and I didn't want to leave y'all hanging, so here's a few pics.

I have Solange Knowles from her recent photo shoot, I love the denim and the tiny scarf she has on her neck. Perfection.

And here's Wendy Raquel Robinson from BET's 'The Game,' aka 'Tasha Mack' or 'Pow, Pow, Pow!'. She's a stunning and sometimes vicious actress who embodies beauty for her person her age. Go COUGARS! ROWR!!! LoL

The COLOR-BLOCKING Nicki Minaj: Photo Shoot for PAPER Magazine

Color-blocking is a fashion term used for when a person wears clothing items in contrasting colors that usually have no business being together, but somehow it WORKS. It takes a true skill to pull that off, and Nicki Minaj does have that skill (or her stylist does) in this PAPER Magazine photo shoot.

Take a look at some of the interestingly-colored pics ... see the ART in all of this, put on your fashionista cap :-) :

Even Football Players Know Fashion, Too: TOM BRADY and Wife Giselle Bundchen

In light of the Superbowl XLVI, I want to feature Tom Brady and his wife Giselle Bundchen here for fashion. Tom can take a couple pretty good pictures, too. Take a look at a few that I thought were interesting:

Now for the uber-successful supermodel Giselle Bundchen, who is not just some trophy wife, but she carries her own weight, seriously:

Pretty cool lives for this SUPER-COUPLE, yeah?

GWYNETH PALTROW In Racy Cover of Harper's Bazaar

More magazines and more photo shoots with more SKIN showing. Unfortunately, while there are so many models who have BRAINS, beauty usually trumps all of that when the 6-pack pops out or long, slender thighs peek out a gown like Gwyneth Paltrow's (above).

Gwyneth Paltrow did a photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar which was... quite ARTSY, SKIN-ny, and RACY. Her dress has got to be by far the one with the highest split I've ever seen. But from a model  or photographer's perspective, this whole look is a testament to artistic nudity and capturing a look of otherworldly elegance and sensuality.

Great way to express that, Gwyneth...

The Most Fashionable EXes: Rihanna and Chris Brown (Y'all Asked For It So...)

I usually don't like to group Rihanna and Chris Brown together because that would make me right along with the rest of the folk that fueling the flames of the still-smoldering 2009 issue of the Rihanna and Chris Brown incident. Coming up is the 3-year anniversary of that and I seriously wish it would go away. PEOPLE keep it alive.

But anyway, I keep track of my viewers (yes, many of you) and it's very clear that the tag 'CHRIS BROWN' is the highest sought-after name on my blog search and is the main drive of traffic to my blog. But here's the kicker: 'RIHANNA' is the name that is one of the most sought-after... RIGHT AFTER viewers are finished searching blog posts for 'Chris Brown.'

BUT... they are EXes now, even though they were spotted at the same lounge, Greystone Manor. So without further ado, here are a few pics of the most fashionable EXes alive: Rihanna and Chris Brown:

So whaddaya make of this? I don't see anything but TWO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (as Chris would say). Do I want Chris Brown and Rihanna back together? No. Move on.

*Wink and a smirk... then a SMH*

Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis (From 'The Help') For W Magazine

I found these great photos of Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis, actresses from the acclaimed movie 'The Help', and they've both done a photo shoot for W Magazine. Photos via Fashion Bomb Daily.

The objective of the shoot was to just capture a very simple, moment-in-time essence of these two beautiful balck women. I'm liking Octavia's (above) dramatic hair and mysterious emotion, as well as Viola's (below) mixed elegance and sensuality.

This photo shoot was truly art in human form.

Behind-The-Scenes of a 2012 Dolce & Gabbana Men's Photo Shoot for Prestige Mag (NSFW)

Check out the 2012 Dolce & Gabbana photo shoot for PRESTIGE MAGAZINE of Hong Kong, provided by FashionTV.

The video depicts a very interesting 'Journey To The East' vibe, where freedom to be expressive publicly can be quite limited. So a great photo shoot of guys in Dolce & Gabbana couture versus guys who pose artistically nude definitely captures attention of the viewer; I think it's an interpretation that in such a binding world, we are still allowed to be 'artistically expressive (nude)' and unique in ANY corner of the earth, which is what Dolce & Gabbana aims to convey.

I'll stop talking. Check the video.

MELANIE FIONA In High-Fashion Photo Shoot For ROLLING OUT Magazine; HOTT!

Check out pics of MELANIE FIONA in high fashion, in the February issue of ROLLING OUT Magazine. I like the grittiness of the backgound (below) in contrast with Melanie's beauty, long locks, and her high-waisted, 'futuristic' couture wear by Sergio Hudson.

It's just something about that contrast that meshes very well together.

KELIS Brings Back Her Edginess and 'Creative' Relevance Through Latest 'BOSS' Photo Shoot

R&B singer KELIS really owned up to her hiatus of producing an album by doing a photo shoot (for Hunger Magazine) in which her entire demeanor speaks BOLDNESS and CONFIDENCE, at the same time, sensuality. It's the kind of shoot that shows she means BUSINESS, as she's releasing an LP for 2012.

Kelis has long been an eccentric and unique dresser with outlandish shoes, dresses, and especially HAIR! See more of Kelis' photo shoot and her past pics below:

PAST PICS:

As you can see, a lot of ARTISTIC EXPRESSION is in Kelis' hair styles and her attire, too.

I'm also feeling Kelis' Tom Ford tortoise sunglasses in the above pic.

The YOUNGEST Swag: Mason Kardashian (Disick)

I didn't know SWAG came in a package that small and young!

Check out Mason Kardashian (Disick) closeup looking FLYY in the Kardashian Christmas picture.

RIHANNA's Behind-The-Scenes 'YOU DA ONE' Music Video; Check Out Her Customized Grill!

There's a whole lotta fashion going on in this BEHIND-THE-SCENES video of Rihanna's 'You Da One'. I'm loving it... it POPS!

Bold red lipstick.

Blonde bob.

Heavy mascara.

Gold jewelry.

BLACK, BLACK, BLACK clothing.

Outlandish boots.

Straight-up '80s.

(Peep the GRILL in Rihanna's mouth)

The video is also a SNEAK PEEK at what models go thru in a photo shoot or music video. Even though it's only Rihanna, imagine if you were modeling and had to go through minor or major choreography, there's actually quite a bit that goes behind a photo shoot.

R&B/Lyricist FRANK OCEAN Featured In L'Umo Vogue (Photo Shoot Pics)

Here's what I like about this guy: New Orleans native FRANK OCEAN does not want to be put into a box. In music or fashion. In such a cookie-cutter industry, Frank Ocean says he cringes at the label R&B or even HIP-HOP (He actually feels better that he was listed under 'Bluegrass'). His music is just MUSIC, simply doing what he loves to do, not trying to impress anybody.

That mindset got him on the fast track to musical success. But we all know I'm not here for the musical part but for the FASHION.

So check out FRANK OCEAN in his latest photo shoot for L'Umo Vogue Magazine. The pictures itself are not COOKIE CUTTER or high fashion; it oozes creativity and the essence of FRANK OCEAN. Like the above picture, that vintage green velvet suit really speaks to me in an unspoken fashion language. It says ONE-OF-A-KIND, WITHOUT TIME, SOMBER, DEBONAIRE, THAT JAZZ ERA...

See more pics and an excerpt of what Frank says in the fashion magazine:

On changing his name from Christopher “Lonny” Breaux (his government) to Frank Ocean
“It was like a middle finger to my slave name”
The most empowering thing he did this year…
Buy a car in cash and got rid of the ole car note

On his fast rise to fame.
“Career-wise, this year feels like a montage scene in a movie”

Hello readers, was just browsing different fashion and entertainment blogs (as usual) and found TASHA SMITH on Necole B***hie's blog (love that woman, she's so FRESH and happening).

AMBER ROSE Exudes Sexiness In Latest Afro-inspired Photo Shoot

AMBER ROSE was looking very Afro-centric with a hint of Madonna.

I'm liking the whole sultry princess vibe (above). I'm also liking the accessories too, as well as the diamond-shaped metal pieces on the lower bodice that complements Amber's claw-like nails. Pretty good photo shoot (New York).

HMM... 'CURVES and THICK-ums'... nothin' wrong with that.

Looks like Amber has grown her hair out a bit. I'll stay updated on that...

BRANDY Does Alter-Ego Photo Shoot with Derek Blanks (1st High Fashion of Its Kind)

Now, I'm sure that many of you out there have heard of Derek Blanks, especially if you're in the world of fashion and photography. Well, Derek Blanks is a highly acclaimed photographer famous for his 'alter-ego' photo shoots, where the person challenges 'the other side of them.'

Check out music artist Brandy in what is said to be the first 'high fashion story' of the Derek Blanks collection. Usually, there are alter ego pictures that the Blanks group develop, but none like having a series of pictures from beginning to end, from TRAGEDY to TRIUMPH.

I thought that this was really good... a great tie in to a high fashion magazine. I definitely would like a shoot with Derek Blanks; I got the knack and talent for it. Seriously.

**THUMBS UP**
