GREGORY ALLEN - An OUTSTANDING Designer - A Toronto native & very proud of it, he's style and suave is remarkably different than the majority.

YUP! It is true Pope Benedict listens to 2pac! I'm soo moved by this that I can't even write about it....
"The Vatican has contributed a list of tracks for MySpace Music, an ad-supported audio and video streaming service which launched today.
However, the selection contains some surprising choices including the song Changes by Shakur, also known as 2Pac, who was killed in 1996.
The hit single released in 1998 is listed with an 'explicit' warning and features lyrics about gun crime, drugs and violence on a city’s streets.
It includes the lines: 'Is life worth living should I blast myself?” and “Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare.'" - Murray Wardrop of Telegraph.co.uk
Below is the video - enjoy!

So it seemed like everyone and their mothers were celebrating Jay-Z's birthday on Friday Night. Twitter and Facebook was going bonkers regarding the day. My whole thing was (for those who have me on twitter know this - @LaylaAdonia ) how are people throwing parties in honor of his birthday. The man is an artist NOT Jesus! I swear there were more people out partying and taking shots on his behalf than Christians that celebrate Christmas!
Hmmmmm lets reflect shall we - the man is not dead - nor are do you have personal ties with him! If you were out to celebrate his bday plz kill yourself! I got $20 that says you probably missed a good friends bday! Shame!
....moving on...for those who mistaked Jay for actually coming to your party! Ummm he was in DR with wifey, close friends and fam!
....pssffff celebrating Jay-Z's birthday...smh...ridiculous!
The Simmon girls are the features of the latest issue of Honey Mag! They're really doing it up with Pastry and all their little projects!
Looking like they're really taking after their Uncle! Go ahead ladies...GET BOSSY!
Just imagine Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, James Marsden, Zoe Saldana, Columbus Short, Loretta Devine and Ron Glass all in one comedy! YUP its happening in Death at a Funeral! I have not really been interested in anything Rock has done after Kill the Messenger. However, after watching Good Hair I have falling back in love with Chris Rock.
Below is the trailer...it had me dying so hopefully this one will serve right. With that many hilarous people in the cast...they'd really have to mess up for it not to be good!
Beyonce and A.Keys have teamed up to give us a song called Put It In A Love Song! Hmmm has anyone else noticed that Beyonce has teamed up with everyone who has taken her shine even if its just for a moment. Lady Gaga blew up...Video Phone comes out! Alicia Keys has her time to shine from Empire State of Mind and Beyonce calls her into the studio too... Beyonce ...smh....Let someone have the moment ... dang!!
None the less the song is annoying! It only really deserves one listen just to see what its about but I got $10 that says you won't want to hit replay!
Trey Songz....You can always be sure there WILL be an update on here about him weekly! lol...he's just doing soo much. He just released the teaser video of One Love! If you have not heard this song.....plz just go drink bleach, cuz that just indicates that you have been missing out on LIFE! Ready has BEEN in stores and quite frankly its an AMAZING album!

The video is out! Yay or Nay ya'll. Personally I believe the production on the video was well done.
Good look Drake! He's definitely representing Canada as a whole very well!
Everyone is really on this whole Twilight/New Moon - Good Vampire movement. We've found a way to turn blood sucking demons into common house tamped buddies….How did we make this transition from something as gushy like Buffy The Vampire Slayer to something so warm hearted like Vampire Diaries!?!?!
I’ve suppose we as a whole understand that terrifying children with make believe creators of the night is no way to build their imagination. Hmmmm we’ll just have to find another way to make them wet their bed!
Barack Vitamins?!?! Nope its Ecstasy! Yup these new Ecstasy pills have been produced and have been well distributed all throughout America that respemble the President. SMH....terrible!
Damn those who even thought this was a good idea!! However, thats one hell of a marketing strategy - Can't even lie!
Yup Chris Brown & Drake are on the both on the cover of this issues VIBE Magazine!!!
Poor little C.Brown - damn him and his puppy dog eyes! Not sure about all of you but I feel for the guy!
Drake is looking good too! As usual! That's just how Toronto delivers!
Allen Iverson "The Answer" is back in Philly with the 76ers!!!! Suddenly all things seem right again! I feel like a huge weight as been lifted off my shoulders.
Any other jersey really does not look right on him!
Unbelievable! Sooo Tiger Wood's wife is getting some ridiculous amount of money to stick around and not leave Tiger....yea....apparently it's 7 figures! This whole thing can be very detrimental to Tiger's career if not handled properly. Hmmm I wonder if he's looking for help within the black community now that I'm sure someone can help him relate - Shaq, Kobe, any other well known black male cheater....hmmm doubt it!
Anyways she clearly now owns with talks about the pre-nup being changed around....smh...look what u did to yourself Tiger!
And to think that Vanessa (Kobe's wife) just accepted a ring..pssssssfffffffff!

If only there were more men like Dwight Howard!
Word is that Dwight extinguished all possiblity that his lady could ever use him to get rich and famous. VH1 is putting together a spin off of The Real Housewives made up of strictly NBA players wives and guess what they're calling it! NBA Wives - How original!
I've had it up to my eyeballs with these reality shows of the wives/husbands/girlfriends/boyfriends/ex's of celebrities.
Shaq is HATING on Shaunie right about now. Shaunie filed seperation papers once the word got out about Shaq getting busy again! He clearly does not learn! So whats happening between the two is that Shaq is trying to aruge the fact that Shaunie is not entitled to half his stuff.
Ummm they got married in CALIFORNIA...lol..which is just about set in stone that she's n getting at least half if not more.
Quite frankly Shaq's the dumb one as far as the courts are concerned. He cheated once ... they moved past this..and she had the opportunity to bankrupt him then. Cheated twice...shame on u Shaq u deserve to get robbed!
We can always count on Giant Magazine to pick up those artist who won't be featured anyplace else. I love Janet, infact I will hurt someone for the entire Jackson Family but it's been awhile since Janet has given us anything good!
None the less this photoshoot she had with Giant looks good and she seems happy!
It's World's AIDS Day everyone! Please Please Please contribute in any way that you can. EVERYTHING helps towards AIDS research. Considering this is a serious problem on the rise, especially amongst black women, There are 5 simple things that we can all do to make a difference....
1. Get Informed
2. Protect Ourselves
3. Protect Others
4. Educate others
5. Contribute
New music by R.Kelly, Tyrese & The Dream. Yup it's called pregnant and I sure as hell hope I do NOT see any men in the club singing this song. Ladies take this as a redflag if you come across one.
Quick sure fire way to scare a girl off - saying you want to get her pregnant...smh...no no no! If she still carries on with your foolish self then she's crazy, and do not say you were never warned!
Blessed Mary J Blige has released her new album cover. This is it ladies and gentlemen. I'm actually really excited, as you should be, for this new album. It will probably be a huge improvement from her last one and much more vocally sound!
Mary does not play, she's hard at work and it payed off at the AMA's when she delievered that lovely performance!
So Nivea popped out another one of Wayne's babies. SMH this man does not stop producing children and music. Goodness gracious!
There really isn't much else to say..Wayne had another kid! Congrates to the two of them for being professional parents!

Seems as thought the Lakers wives have come down with a sever case of HATE! Word is that none of the Laker wives are impressed with Lamar's new baybay - YUP - Khloe has not been embraced by these women. Now if they're anything like the Sunbeams from the show The Game...thats tough!
Imagine what they would do if it was Kim that married Lamar...SMH they'd probably egg her...poor thing.
F the haters girl!
Happy Birthday Trey!! YUUUP your boy turned 25 this weekend and celebrated like no other..pouring grey goose down girls throats! SMH...lol...look what Say Aaah has done.
Well apparently it wasn't all popping bottles and getting "wavey" at the party. YUUUP there was drama. Joe and girl (botty model) Tahiry showed up and crashed the party. Well maybe not crashed but were asked to leave VIP by Trey's security. Words were exchanged and apparently someone's face got hurt....hmmm it wasn't Trey's porcelain face - THANK GOD!!!
...you already know Trey tweeted about this incident saying
"Had a great night despite the hate. Miami Tomorrow, Jimmy Kimmel, Monday. Realize your blessings and appreciate them, I'm trying to do the same!"
So apparently Tiger Woods is a victim of domestic abuse!! Hmmm I wonder if his little snowflake wife is going to get any heat for putting her hands, or better yet her golf clubs, on him. If this broad doesn't get any time of discipline for phyiscally abusing her man I'll be organizing a roat for those who are interested in participating.
It's been reported that the injuries that Tiger had on his face during the time of the accident were actually created by his wife pre-accident. SMH...I'm soo speechless.

Tiger Woods - who would have thought he would be on Follow The L - anyway he was involved in a bit of an accident this morning. As he was driving near his home he hit a fire hydrent and a tree. Either he does not know how to drive or he had to be under the influence.
According to sources he was not intoxicated - so strike that thought. I guess he just does not know how the drive. Woods was sent to hospital for examination and he was released with just a few scars on his face. SMALL - he'll be fine!

With health such a HUGE issue within the black community - this man has single handedly made a difference with his intense boot camp. I can't help but to think this is pure harrassement but hey if you're signing up for it then you must know what you got coming....
Watch the video below and you'll understand EXACTLY what I'm talking about...smh...outrageous!!
The VUDZ Launch was this past Tuesday, November 24th. Definitely something that all of you needed to attend!
Pics are below of the event. It was unique, organized and very tasteful. There was a draw for all those who RSVP'd with AMAZING prizes! The VUDZ Launch Party definitely was different from any other launch leaving everyone who attended with a nice parting gift. They transformed Chiggy's Touch (the salon) into a very open space where the Launch was held. WONDERFUL JOB putting this together - Thierry Lifestyle & Chiggy's Touch a job well done!
Ok we all knew something about Ron Artest was a little off, but how are you going to come on Jimmy Kimmel in nothing but shorts?!?! The man's body is a blessing ladies!!!
Jimmy had a PAUSE moment when he asked Ron if he was covered in chocolate syrup lol..smh WOW! lol...this ENTIRE interview is hilarous - it'll brighten up your day ... PROMISE!!!
Word is that Jay-Z celeb friends and fam will be ringing in his birthday in the Dominican Republic! I'm surprised he's not doing it bigger like renting out the entire Eiffel Tower or something! Either way I'm sure it'll be a memorable night for him since he will be 40! Yikes! lol..I'm going to bet that he's going to come out saying "40's the new 20"!!
Honestly ... I wonder if he dies his hair?! How is it soo black with not one grey!?!? Hmmmm something to ponder!
