Andre 3000 was spotted in New York attending GQ’s party for up and coming men’s designers. Dre wasn’t there as a mere celeb…but as one of the up and coming. In case you haven’t heard, Mr. Benjamin is developing a new clothing line called Benjamin Bixby. The line is described as being “a small, American-football-inspired line.”I don’t get it…but maybe you will.
Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue magazine, previewed the line and liked it so I guess that means it’s good.
“She was saying she hopes I get the right investors that believe in what I’m doing.” says Dre. (Source)
I wonder if she previewed Baby Phat before it lauched? I’m just sayin…

Kanye West has announced the “Glow in the Dark” tour via his website. The tour will include [hot girl of the moment] Rihanna, [Pharrell and his crew] N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco.
No word yet on the tour dates but Atlanta should be one of the first stops…at least that’s what I’m hoping!
Polow da Don has done it again! Check out this clip of he and YV in the studio playing around to the song “I got a dollar”. You already know that every ATLANTA song has a dance…and this one is no exception. Since the hook originally came from the Little Rascals and is a Buckwheat classic quote, there is talk of a “Buckwheat Dance”.
I dunno why…but I really like this song. So much so…that I couldn’t get that dayum hook outta my head today (hey, hey, hey, hey)!
Songstress Angie Stone performed last night at Sugerhill in Underground looking fabulous! I hate I missed it but I’ve got a “real” job now…my ass was in B.E.D.! It seems that Sugarhill is THE spot right now for live performances. Goapele will perform tomorrow night (1/31/08) and Chrisette Michele will be there February 16th.

Behold the Oprah Sarcophagus! This bronzed beauty was sculpted by Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards. This is the same dude that did that sculpture Britney Spears giving birth on a bear skin rug. Edwards is calling his creation a “curvaceous goddess of fertility”.
There has to be conflicting feelings going on inside “O” right now. Should she be flattered, should she be mad…should she be embarrassed…or should she just go to the gym? Can’t wait to hear her comments on the show about this one!
The National Geographic Channel has produced a new reality show which will feature Pit Bulls fomerly owned by Michael Vick. The new series, entitled ”Dogtown” will document four of the 22 animals that were seized from the Vick’s Virginia property and placed at “Dogtown, the Best Friends” animal sanctuary in Utah for rehab.
The four selected dogs are among the toughest cases at Dogtown, where experts attempt to “resocialize these seriously aggressive pit bulls,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“Dogtown” is currently in production on episodes set to premiere in the summer. (Source)
