The Dream Already Filed For Divorce!


According to TMZ.com Terius Nash filed for divorce from Christina Millian in early February just before she gave birth to their daughter Violet. The documents state that the marriage was “”Irretrievably broken” and there is no hope for reconciliation. The document also states that the two, who were married on September 4, 2009, separated prior to the divorce filing and are currently living in a “bona fide state of separation”.  Also, alot of blogs wondered why Christina Millian was still wearing her wedding ring and the answer is because she did not know about the divorce or the photos until they hit the net, so she found out when we did! What a complete jerk! Never trust a man that wears too little clothes...lol

New Couple? Kanye West & Shay


The tea is that this is Kanye West's new side piece British model Shay aka The UK Bombshell.  I doubt that this his new love interest though. Is this the "exotic" women that West was seen with at Starbucks a few weeks ago? Shay twittered in May: 

"I think KANYE WEST disappeared from the Spotlight to show the World that he was a HUGE Part of it today. He is not an Asshole, he’s REAL."  @ShayUKBombshell

All I can say is Google her for more info...

Eminem " Love The Way You Lie" Featuring Rihanna


Rihanna, sings the hook on the track, is seen performing in front of a burning house, her hair just as red as the flames that leap from the windows and turn the white picket fence a shade of black. Eminem is later seen performing with Rihanna in front of the burning house. The video is being shot in LA and is directed by Joseph Kahn who has worked with such artists as Mariah Carey, Lady GaGa, Ciara and the Black Eyed Peas. Love The Way You Lie tells the story of a couple who can't stay apart despite bringing out the worst in each other. Rihanna portrays a woman who's not ready to leave despite the danger: "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn / Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts / Just gonna stand there and watch me cry / Well, that's alright because I like the way you lie."



Eminem's album Recovery hit stores on June 21 and to date it is still number one the Billboard charts. Recovery has outsold such new albums as Korn, Newsboys, Sting and M.I.A. Eminem’s Recovery (Aftermath/Interscope) sold another 196,000 copies in the United States last week.

Ricky Rosay's Album Release Party ("Teflon Don")


"Tha Biggest Boss" Rick Ross aka Ricky Rosay aka Mr. Officer held an album release party at King Of Diamonds in Miami, FL (July 20). Such guests included Trina, Gucci Mane, Bobby Valentino, and DJ Khaled.




Teflon Don hits stores today. The album is expected to sale 180,000 units in the first-week.


SIDE NOTE: 


Crime mob boss John Gotti's grandson Carmine Agnello, 24 is upset at Rick Ross for use of his grandfather's nickname "Teflon Don". He states:

"My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather's life. He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask 'If I could use the nickname". I think he's a great artist, but you can't just start calling yourself that to sell records ...He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself. Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don


Gotti was given the nickname "Teflon Don" after winning acquittal after acquittal in the 1980s because his charges would never stick.

All I can say is please stop using gangsters names without their permission before you turn up dead...

Shoe Whore: Ruthie Davis


For Ruthie Davis, her shoe obsession started at the tender age of two when she tried on her first pair of red patent leather mary-janes. Ruthie fell so fast and hard in love with the shoes that when the salesman went to take them off, he was confronted with the fierce glare and tantrum of a baby fashionista. Little Ruthie wore the shoes out of the store and according to her mother, insisted on wearing them to bed that night.

Ruthie' s love-affair with shoes has transformed into an uncompromising desire to produce some of the most provocative footwear in the world. In 2006, Ruthie launched her own signature brand of handcrafted Italian-made shoes. The RUTHIE DAVIS® brand encompasses a high-style and high-tech merging of the designer' s personal style, referencing modernism, minimalism and high-octane glamour. Ruthie 's shoes are innovative in form, function and materials as she is drawn to future technology and advanced heel architecture, which has become a part of her unique design signature. In addition, Ruthie' s muse is the sassy, central female heroine from comic books or James Bond type movies who is decked out in mini dresses or cat-suits, but always wearing fabulous shoes and ready for action. Ruthie 's designs are timeless and sophisticated, the picture of futuristic chic.

In terms of the Fashion Industry, Ruthie has always understood where design and marketing are connected. While always keeping her keen eye as a marketer focused on the trends of the moment, she prefers to follow her own signature vision for modern, sexy and functional design. As a result, her collections are consistently at the forefront of what 's hot in fashion. Always taking risks and covering new ground, Ruthie doesn' t hesitate when it comes to knowing what she wants and making her designs come to life. Ruthie is a woman designing for women and that gives her an edge in the high-fashion industry.

Ruthie earned her Bachelors of Liberal Arts from Bowdoin College, where she studied Visual Arts (watercolor) and English Literature and then earned an MBA in Entrepreneurship from Babson Graduate School of Business. Ruthie began her career in fashion as a " Cool Hunter" at Reebok. She then became Director of the Reebok Classic division, where she launched Classic Derivatives : reinvented fashion versions of Reebok 's classic white sneaker. The success of this concept ignited a consumer love affair with throwback designs in footwear. From Reebok, Ruthie moved on to become Vice President of Design and Marketing at UGG Australia in California. She repositioned the iconic sheepskin UGG boot as fashion, with updated styles and a high-profile marketing campaign that utilized a combination of Hollywood product-placement and print ads in global fashion magazines. The result was an international fashion phenomenon. After her success at UGG, Tommy Hilfiger offered Ruthie an opportunity to helm a new satellite footwear office in New York City. As Vice President of Marketing and Design for Tommy Hilfiger Women' s Footwear, Ruthie took the brand in a more fashion-forward direction and also launched a new division, " Tommy Girl Shoes" , targeted at a younger and hipper girl.

In 2006, Ruthie launched RUTHIE DAVIS®.

Almost immediately upon its premiere, RUTHIE DAVIS® was embraced by the fashion press, celebrities, and New York Fashion Week for its bold incorporation of futurism, architecture and glam style. Ruthie' s shoes have made an entrance into both the high fashion and high art magazine worlds from their debut. With her first collection, Ruthie saw her shoes featured in eclectic publications such as ELLE, Lucky, Nylon, Wallpaper, Vogue Italia, Vogue Nippon, and Brazilian Vogue, which actually mirrored the emerging universality of her fan base in the US and Internationally. To date, RUTHIE DAVIS® has been featured in hundreds of publications such as Harper s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, InStyle, Marie Claire, Surface, Zink, WWD, FN, Muse, Teen Vogue, People, US Weekly, Ok!, In Touch, The New York Post, and many more. Ruthie also has a loyal celebrity fan base that goes back to her first collection and thrives today. Perhaps her most devoted celebrity fan is Beyonce, who looked to Ruthie for that perfect shoe to launch her new futuristic image at the 2008 Conde Nast Fashion Rocks red carpet event and has since worn countless RUTHIE DAVIS® shoes. She and many other performers see RUTHIE DAVIS® shoes as the go-to brand for fierce glamour that can pass the ultimate high-performance tests: walking the red carpet and dancing and singing on stage!

Ruthie' s celebrity fan base includes some of the most empowering and successful women in entertainment today such as Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Leighton Meester, Alicia Keys, Lydia Hearst, Penelope Cruz, Paula Abdul, Rihanna, Michelle Williams, Avril Lavigne, Maria Bello, Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, Kim Kardashian and many more. RUTHIE DAVIS® shoes have also graced many runway catwalks at both NYC and London Fashion Weeks every season since the brand' s inception.

Ruthie is not only a "designer for the stars", but also an inspiring mentor and promoter of "girl power". The July 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar China emphasizes this point, as Ruthie was the only woman featured in the article titled "The Top 7 Leaders in the World of Shoes." As a woman running her own business, Ruthie is an inspiration to young women all over the world as someone who is taking risks and going after her dreams. Ruthie has spoken about her girl power philosophy at high schools, colleges, grad schools and women in business or entrepreneurship forums, where she encourages her audiences to work hard and dream big and to never compromise themselves as women. She says, " you can be totally smart and successful and also be a fashionista!" Most recently, Ruthie spoke at the opening of her exclusive shoe exhibit retrospective at the New Britain Museum of American Art titled, COUTURE. FUTURISTIC DESIGN. One woman who took her daughter to the exhibit e-mailed Ruthie and said, " My daughter Jessica loves fashion and was so inspired by your creations - she was truly in heaven."

Ruthie lives and works in New York City with her husband, Innes Weir, and their two Italian Greyhounds, Desert and River.

Daniel "Boobie" Gibson's Letter To Fans


What Up World,


This Message is Directly for the fans of Cleveland from your adopted son, The one and only Boobie G. As you know i was born and raised in Houston, TX. Never once stayed outside the state for more than two weeks and the time I did, that was for basketball. But after two years of college at the University of Texas I decided to make the jump. You can just imagine how fast my mind was racing going to a city so many miles out of my comfort zone not knowing one single person. But I thank God it was Cleveland! Because From day one the city embraced me and made me feel like I was home. My Second HOME. And as time went on I began to see why we connected. Cleveland is a never die city, city of loyalty, hard-workers, passion, desire, and toughness. A lot of the same characteristics I have in me and that inspired me. So I made a promise to myself that every day I stepped foot on that basketball court I would show the world what Cleveland was all about. Leaving everything i had on the court. So no matter what obstacle was placed in front of me, I would bust right through it. No matter how high, I would get over it. Or how wide I would get around it. N I hope I did that and will continue to do that. I said that to say, I know right now emotions are high, and people are confused about the way things went down. But I'm here to say DO NOT FORGET THAT WE STILL HERE. and WE GONE GRIND!!!! The Cavaliers haven't went anywhere, just lost a piece. Everything in life happens for a reason, Some which we dont understand and never will. Somethings we cant control, But the thing we can control is our passion and our love for city of Cleveland and state of OHIO. And that every single night we take that we floor We Will represent. Blood SweAT and Tears. We will go hard. Just like you. From the bottom to the top, this organization is committed to winning and we wont stop now..... Cant stop now. I LOVE you. We Love YOU. And together We gone make it HAppen. O H I O. Hang in there.

As for me on another note, I'm in LA working on my game so that i may be a key part of this movement next season. The family is doing great. MY wife to be is in the studio every day and night trying to create the best album of her career. Cutting no corners putting her heart in it like never before. With so much new emotion to show the world. My son Daniel Jr. is 4 months now. Everyday he gets bigger. We took him to the doctor yesterday to get two shots. And lil man did not shed a tear. even laughed a little bit. Tough lil dude, something like his daddy LOL. The rest of the fam is back home in Houston working with the DGib Hoops Foundation-Shooting for Success. Helping mainly inner city youth to meet new friends, become more discipline, athletically and academically so that one day they may qualify for scholarships and go on to college and be whatever they want to be. Following a living example. ME... Well thats enough for today, yall stay tuned for my next post and remember if you believe, you can achieve. ANYTHING

Cleveland Stand up
