"Armani Jeans expresses my vision of a young, independent, casual lifestyle with a strong and cool, fashion sensibility. Solange epitomises this style perfectly and brings to it that swing so evident in her new single, I Decided," Giorgio Armani commented on his newest muse.
The profile-boosting partnership couldn't come at a better time for Solange, whose second album, SoL-AngeL and the Hadley Street Dreams (from which I Decided is taken), is released on August 26 prior to her embarking on a worldwide tour this autumn.

I'm glad to have the pleasure to introduce a good friend of mine, who is now an columnist for my website, Ms. Joy Hallman. Make sure you check out her column that will be posted here every week and be sure to add some "Joy To Your Life""
Peace & Love,
Living in HollyWEIRD can sometimes take its toll on those of us who work in the wonderful world of Entertainment. How do you handle it when Auditions / Jobs that you seemingly believed you've had "in the pocket" somehow slip out of your range? What about when people that you are sure you can rely on give you the 52 fake out and you suddenly realize you are alone...
People say that we are crazy to stay in a business like this. But we know and live by the old adage, "There's NO Business like Show Business!" Most of us have a calling for this Industry. It chose us, not the other way around.
Artists / Entertainers face more rejection in one year than most human beings do in a lifetime. We are willing to give our lives to the adrenaline of "that" 8 count, to deliver "that" line perfectly, to paint "that" canvas exactly as we choose it to be. In those precious moments, we've entered into our Sacred Space. It is in those moments, we sometimes feel as connected to the world and or as close to God as one could ever feel.
So I am blogging this column, "Add some joy to your life," to let you know that you ARE worthy!!! You are special!!!! Your talent is amazing!!!! ...and more so than anything, I want you to know that you are not alone. Even in your darkest hour, you are not alone. Separation is an illusion! What is for you is for you and you only. No man can close doors that Spirit has opened for you. "You will succeed, 99 and 1/8th's Guaranteed!" - Dr. Suess.
So, go ahead, sort out your thoughts about how those situations made you feel and then release them. Forgive yourself for feeling as though you've done anything wrong and forgive those around you. I know it's not easy but other opportunities and people will come. They will show up as if by magic.
So, maybe we are a little nutty for staying in the business, but even the mighty Oak Tree was once a nut like you.

Miley Cyrus will land her second No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 tomorrow (July 30), as "Breakout" (Hollywood) bows with 371,000 U.S. copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the second-biggest sales week of the year for a female artist, following the 463,000 debut of Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" (Island/IDJMG).
Cyrus' last album, the half soundtrack, half studio set "Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus" (Hollywood/Walt Disney), started at No. 1 last summer with 326,000.
The first "Hanna Montana" soundtrack, which launched her recording career, also bowed at No. 1 in 2006, with first-week sales of 281,000. It went on to be the best seller of that year's fourth quarter with less than three months of shelf life.

A Good Look: Miley Cyrus Offered $1 Million To Be The Face of Condoms
0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 2:57 AM
LifeStyles Condoms is offering one of the most popular teens in the world a $1 million to be the face of their condoms!
With teenage pregnancy running rampant throughout the US, LifeStyles Condoms wants to ensure that Miley Cyrus and her legions of loyal fans don’t become just more statistics. As one of the leading condom makers in the country, LifeStyles is offering Miley Cyrus $1 million to become the new company spokesperson to appeal to the younger demographic that is in need the most.
“Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex,” said Carol Carrozza, VP of Marketing for LifeStyles Condoms. “With recent reports showing that one out four teenage girls has an STD and the high level of teenage pregnancy, we believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set—and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America. I believe this to be a very good look. What are your thoughts? SAYIT!!!

This Say It Hott Dance Clip is from Jonte'. Jonte's moves are crazy!!! In my opinion he is always thinking outside the box and doesn't conform to what people think. He's simply innovative. Here is a clip from an audition he held in NYC for one of our "Jam Of The Day" Artist Jaymes Madison with "Room Service" . Just a note is it me or does the girl in all black in the front remind you of Christina Grady? P.S. While the four girls audition you can hear "The Kidz" in the background saying things like "Work", "Live", "Yes", "Eat It", and "Aaawwwhhhooo". SAYIT!!!

0 comments Posted by J.R. Taylor at 2:12 PM
Saint Louis rap star Nelly has been named the first ever spokesmodel for Sean John Underwear, it was announced today (July 28).
Nelly will be featured in the Fall campaign promoting Sean John’s collection of underwear and loungewear.
The campaign, which was shot by Randee St. Nicholas, showcases Nelly in a modern home overlooking Los Angeles, while modeling the underwear.
"I have been a big fan of Diddy and the Sean John clothing line for years,” Nelly told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “So, when they asked me to work with them, it was a real honor. I hope my fans will enjoy this campaign as much as I did shooting it."
Sean “Diddy” Combs, founder of Sean John, hopes Nelly’s involvement will help boost Sean John’s earnings, which are pegged at about $525 million annually.
"I have known Nelly for many years and I really admire his work. To me, Nelly is the quintessential definition of the Sean John man,” Combs elaborated. “He has the attitude, the swagger, and most of all the physique that our customers can both aspire and relate to. And let's be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign.”
Styles in the Sean John Underwear line include briefs, boxer-briefs, boxers, undershirts, pajamas and robes.
