• It seems the layoffs over at Betsey Johnson were happening well before the news even broke via WWD friday.

• Baby gift e-tailer My1stYears.com has written an open letter to Posh Spice’s youngest, Harper Beckham, begging the nine-month-old to use her still-developing faculties, and sign on as a child model for the brand. Emily Standford, an employee of My1stYears, writes, “From what we have seen of you since your first public appearance less than a year ago, we know you have implacable style and taste. You were therefore the immediate first choice for our campaign. Due to child labour laws we cannot negotiate a contract or salary directly with you, that is why your Mummy and Daddy have been copied in on this letter. We are happy to speak with them about your fee; however, we are prepared to pay you a significant amount to be the face of our new range.” (Telegraph)
• Finally, after a slew of photo and video teasers, Rihanna has released her music video for “Where Have You Been,” and her dancing ain’t half bad. Nor is that Emilio Pucci beaded body suit she’s wiping the floor with. (Rihanna VEVO)

am i the only one who thought the teaser videos for “where have you been” were better than the actual video?”
April 30, 2012 12:10 pm
Someone help me understand this Azelia Banks chicks…i really dont get the hype about her or her music…
April 30, 2012 12:42 pm
@hunnie no I agree I was watching the video like sooo what’s next, she should have released the video first then the behind the scenes vids later
April 30, 2012 12:44 pm
She did pretty good for her first big dance video with actual choreography after Pon De Replay and she looks good ! I can’t believe Harper is already getting letters for modeling contracts… Can the kid get to solid foods first? Lol

Rihanna’s video reminds me of Queen of the Damned

RE: Azealea Banks – although I’m happy that the fashion world is extending a hand to her, I never like to see young African-American female singers or rappers use the ‘n’ word as gratuitously as she does. I like her voice (tone) and flow BUT am hoping that tracks for her debut album drastically cut down on it.
RE: Tracy Reese – hoping I can afford one or two pieces from that collection.
RE: Rhi Rhi’s video – can’t see it till I get home (doggone workplace blockers x __x )

That is the thing I cannot deal with rap lacing your lyrics with the N word is too much for me. We ask others not to use it but many young and older folks are using it like it is a not a big deal. I serioulsy can’t with her but I wish her nothing but the best.
Little Harper is so cute. I want VB to adopt me because she sure has style.
Love Riri ‘s style but lately she is not doing it for me.
April 30, 2012 1:45 pm
Rihanna has officially fallen the fck OFF for me.
she needs to get it together..dancing? not half bad? how can someone who has been with the greatest dancer du moment try to do a vid that looks this shitty? this is SHIT.
April 30, 2012 2:35 pm
The video was nice but rihanna still can’t dance. She too stiff like loosen up!
April 30, 2012 3:19 pm
What does the video have to do with, “Where the person been?!” …yeah, I don’t want to know.
April 30, 2012 5:02 pm
loved the video !
April 30, 2012 7:42 pm
After watching this video I realized that Rihanna generally does not move very quickly.
May 1, 2012 12:45 am
Is it just me or does Azealia remind you of Malaysia Pargo?
May 1, 2012 5:04 am
I actually like the video but god that voice + dancebeat makes my head ACHE. Why even call it ‘dance’ (the beat and style) if you can’t even properly shake your ass to it? I don’t understand this kind of music. Don’t hate me for it.

The word nigga isn’t going anywhere, so yall niggas should just get over it.
