CNN is hating. I kind of agree with them though. Mariah’s trying to push those album sales up.

Spotted at Sandra Rose.

As you know, Angela and Vanessa Simmons are established entrepreneurs who run the successful footwear and apparel brand, Pastry. The sisters and business partners recently hit up Jimmy Jazz in Harlem to sign Pastry items and meet with fans. Check out the footage below:

I gotta say, those kids LOVE Pastry shoes. Not sure if they’re me, but congrats to the girls for doing their thing. Click here to visit their official web site, www.PastryKicks.com.

Suprise, surprise: Rihanna is re-releasing her album Good Girl Gone Bad. She recently leaked the single over the radio, named “Take A Bow.” The track was written by Ne-Yo, which of course means it was produced by Stargate (my favorite production team!) She sounds as if she finally realizes she is a singer! Even so, the song could have done without the creepy giggles and random talking. If her label is smart, they will strip everything except ‘Umbrella-ella-ella’ from the album and replace it with material similar to what she’s doing in “Take A Bow”–actually singing. She re-releases her album on May 27.

Listen: Rihanna- “Take A Bow”

Here’s a shot of Raheem Devaughn performing at BB Kings Club & Grill earlier this week in support of his latest album, Love Behind The Melody. I heard dude puts on a mean show!
