Think you can dance? Before you answer that, hold your tongue until you’ve seen this video footage below. I’m left wondering myself how the human body can do most of moves they did. And I can only hope that there were wearing knee pads! I certainly was inspired. It makes me want to sign up for a dance class! AMAZING!  😆

Rihanna has been called many things and patient is certainly not one of them. Watch the video footage below showing her walking into men’s toilet in Manchester where she and shoved a man out of it. Moments later Drake was seen coming out as well. Hmm… 🙄

Residents are feared trapped in a Manhattan apartment building that exploded this morning in the East Harlem neighborhood, killing two women and injuring around 17 others. 

A gas leak is suspected of causing the building on the corner of 116th Street and Park Avenue to burst into flames, as residents reported smelling a strange odor to ConEdison right before the blast.

Those in the area reported hearing a loud boom and thick black smoke in the area a little after 9am, and some were even evacuated.

Hmm…..this could be interesting. Meet Brandon Howard, allegedly Michael Jackson’s son!

Brandon is said to be the product of an affair Michael Jackson had with the singer’s mother Miki Howard. The pair are said to have met in 1982, shortly before Mr Howard was born in 83.

Brandon Howard, who is known as B Howard, has long been compared to Michael.

Brandon took part in a DNA test and the results is said to be announced sometime today!

Do you think they look alike?

Ok, so we’ve seen Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Lawrence, et al. dazzle us at the 2014 Oscars. Hmm…let’s have some historical Oscars red carpet moment, flashback to a time when taking risk and being bold was fashionable, a time before the commercialization of the red carpet into a paid fashion show and long before the stars had stylist and paid endorsements to finance a more….couture wardrobe:

Bjork, 2001 Oscars

Whoopi Goldberg, 1992 Oscars

Geena Davis, 1992 Oscars

Faith Hill, 2002 Oscars

Hilary Swank, 2003 Oscars

The biggest night in Hollywood turned out to be as glam and dazzling as ever. The usual stuff except for a few things I couldn’t help but wonder. Such as why Best adapted screenplay winner for 12 Years A Slave, John Ridley walked past the movie’s producer/director Steve McQueen without so much as a handshake or hug on his way to the stage to accept his golden dude and deliberately left Steve out of his thank you speech. Hmm…I smell trouble happening over there.

And why in God’s name was Lady Gaga at the Oscars? She was the last one to arrive, long after all the actors who actually had a movie to promote had already been seated. For maximum attention perhaps.

It’s no secret that Lupita was highly favored as the front runner for this year’s Oscars. I don’t know if anyone noticed that the Oscar producers switched the announcement of the Best supporting actress category with the best supporting actor category to a later time slot in the show. The women’s category is usually announced much earlier. This was because the women’s category was highly anticipated by everyone and if it was announced early most viewers would have tuned out, especially if Lupita lost it to Jennifer. Nice call producers! It must have been a huge relief for Jennifer Lawrence (who fell yet again). Had she won, she most likely would have suffered a huge backlash. She’s young, there’s still many more Oscars to come.

As much as the world would like to despise Kim Kardashian, she does look stunning at the Elton John Oscar party in va va voom red! See the picture below. She cleaned up well.

Now that Lupita Nyong’o is officially the Hollywood IT girl of the year, how long would it take for editrix Anna Wintour to have her grace the coveted cover of Vogue magazine? Sadly, white actresses only need to release a new pop corn movie and they get the cover, black actresses have to win or be nominated for an Oscar to get anywhere near the cover (ala Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry), or have over 50 million social media followers for maximum exposure for the magazine to get the cover (ala Beyonce, Rihanna). Lupita Nyong’o is due for a Vogue cover like many other starlets they’ve featured just for releasing a new movie much less winning an Oscar. Let’s make it happen Anna Wintour!

And of course I have to give the best photo crasher  and best award winning reaction to Lupita (& her brother) who unfortunately forgot to thank Brad Pitt in her acceptance speech. Brad was one of the producers of the epic winning picture. Who can blame her, it was her first time ever at the Oscars! Emotions were running high and I might have done the same.

Lupita won many fans over in her fairytale Prada “Nairobi Blue” flowing frock. Is it safe to say that Prada is now becoming the “good luck” charm at the Oscars? Anne Hathaway who won last year also wore Prada that caused quite a frenzy when she dropped Valentino at the last minute to wear the dress in question. Sigh….actresses worldwide, now you know the winning trick. Just get a good role and wear Prada!

In my opinion, Ellen DeGeneres did a fabulous job bringing the stuffy and out of date Oscar programming to date with well timed jokes and pizza! Not only did she cause a twitter frenzy with the epic selfie plugging the product by one of the show’s sponsor (Samsung phone), but also hit the nail on the head one too many times. “Possibility number one: Twelve Years a Slave wins Best Picture. Possibility number two: You’re all racists. And now welcome our first white presenter, Anne Hathaway!”
Don’t hold it against her, this is afterall America!

Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees!

My heart went out to Elisabeth Rohm of American Hustle movie when she fell on the red carpet as a result of her tight dress and perhaps skinny heels on rough surface rug. I have never seen this happen before on a red carpet….only on fashion runway shows. OUCH!

It has been one dreadful winter season this year in NYC. When a tiny window of warm weather opened up to a sunny 55 degrees today, it made no sense to deck out in heavy winter clothes and dull colors. I seized the opportunity in rich Kenyan inspired tribal colors (Escada and BCBG) in way of orange, lime green and multicolor beads! It definitely lifted my spirit and added a spring in my step while out and about! We’re back to 30 degrees tomorrow! 🙁 Grrr! I can’t wait for the full blown spring season ahead!

It has been one long wintery season and endless snowstorms this year. To weather the storm, I opted for a cape, leather pants, fedora hat and spiked arm jacket to stay warm, well sort of.
