In Case You Missed It: Life After: Kid n’ Play (Full Video)

Sep, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

You ever wonder what happened to the 80’s group Kid n’ Play? Well peep this episode of “Life After” which features the former rap/dance group, consisting of Christopher ?Kid? Reid and Christopher ?Play? Martin. The two starred in the movie House Party and House Party 2, which launched the careers of the likes of Martin Lawrence, A.J. Johnson, Tisha Campbell and more. Remember this crazy dance-off scene?

High top fades and colorful gear were all the rage back then. Anyway…the duo split at least 15 years ago with each going their separate ways in the industry. Kid attempted a career in acting and comedy, while Play… well I still dunno what Play did?? Check out the full video below: Continue Reading…

Quick Flix ~ She by Sheree’ Hits NY Fashion Week

Sep, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

Sheree Whitfield of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta hit up New York Fashion Week to debut her She by Sheree’ line.? Sheree is always so well put together, but this black on black ensemble she wore makes me think she’s giving up the “A” for Utah.? Anyway, according to FreddyO, Sheree wasn’t actually a participant in “Fashion Week” per se, having to rent a location downtown away from all the real festivities, but she made to New York nonetheless! Take that… Lisa!

The colorful capsule collection (she hopes to have a full roll-out sometime soon) featured plenty of skin-tight silhouettes ? including a leather color-block dress and a black lace, zip-front corset paired with an electric blue silk skirt ? a crotch-skimming banana yellow romper, a heavily ruched haltertop jumper and, our favorite, a chic three-quarter dress coat in champagne colored silk.

Congrats Sheree’!!

[Sidenote… leave that Black dress you wore out of the collection. Please and thank you.]

2009 MTV VMAs: Kanye West ~ Blame it on the ALCOHOL!

Sep, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards show was nothing less than spectacular! The performances were on point, the drama was on point…hell…even the red-carpet arrivals gave us something to talk about!

Kanye West and his beard date Amber Rose arrived during the pre-show carring a fresh bottle of Hennessey. Now I’m not exactly sure if Ye is a new Henn spokesperson, or if he was simply numbing the daily pains and pressures of hiding from his true self, but whatever the case, Kanye seemed a bit wasted.

It even seems as if Amber tryed to get Kanye to give up his bottle

but it didn’t work!

Kanye West’s diva moment magnatized the awards show swagger by a hundred thousand trillion and I don’t know if I’m the only one, but it seems to me the drama was very well-scripted. Now on top of that, we’ve got a ready-made excuse for Kanye’s bizarre behavior. It took about 2 weeks for Eminem to admit to being in on the joke. I wonder how long Ye will hold out.

Breaking News: Kanye West Interrupts President Obama (Video)

Sep, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

😆

This is why Kanye wasn’t invited to Obama’s big healthcare speech. If only the MTV VMA people had done the same – at least they had the good sense to not invite Congressman Joe Wilson. (And Beyonce’s video *was* pretty awesome.)

Shouts out to my Twitter fam for keeping this in circulation.? Hilarious!

Grand Opening Grand Closing: Janet v. Jay-Z v. Lil Mama ~ 2009 MTV VMA’s

Sep, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

Janet Jackson opened the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with a full tribute to her late brother Michael Jackson. MTV did a montage of several of Michael’s popular videos and Janet appeared to rock the stage in typical Jackson fashion. Janet also hit up her twitter account later to offer her fans a special gift:

I hope u guys enjoyed us tonight. It was very special for me n I have a very special gift for all of u. Sept 14th 1:28am

The gift turned out to be the lyrics to a new Janet Jackson song entitled “Make Me” Click Here for the lyrics.

In between the opening and closing there was a bunch of tomfoolery. In short, Kanye stole the mic from Taylor Swift, Beyonce performed yet again in her sequinned bathing suit and then redeemed herself by giving Taylor some time to shine. I’m sure there was alot more going on but I was too busy rewinding the Kanye incident to pay any attention to anything else. Sorry.

The grand closing for the evening was non other than Jay-Z. Fresh off the heels of his 9/11 tribute concert, Jay rocked the stage with Alicia Keys in a hot performance of “Empire State of Mind”

Jay-Z and Alicia seem to be giving the side eye to the surprise guest who hopped onstage at the end of their performance.

I still don’t know what Lil Mama was thinking…

Watch the opening and closing performance videos below: Continue Reading…
