Interesting Concepts: Bryan Admas Edition

Did you know that Rock Star Bryan Adams was a Fashion photographer as well? I didn’t !! Bryan may have been rocking the world with his music since the ‘Summer of 69′, but he’s shown over the past decade that he’s a very good photographer too. Although primarily known for his music, Adam’s has gained a strong reputation for his photography, particularly for his work in the fashion world, and received a LeadAward for his photographs 2006. He has had photos published in numerous well-known publications such as L’uomo Vogue, British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Interview magazine, and Esquire. Great work Bryan ! I love it !

Fresh New Music: Trey Songz "Anticipation"

Drake Finds his Home

Its official, Drake has signed with Young Money Entertainment. After a huge bidding war between Universal Motown and Atlantic Records, Young Money sealed the deal with this Canadian rapper/singer. I wonder what the magic number was.......

Drakes debut album is suppose to hit stores in late 2009.

Now the next million dollar question is who is going to sign the infamous Nicki Minaj. In an recent interview with Vibe, she revealed that the world would know within 30 days. I got my bets that Young Money will lock a deal with her.....we shall will see.

R.I.P. Vibe

Tell me it isn't so!!!!! Vibe....closing down....immediately?!?!?! This was one of the hottest black, music print magazines around. This is so crazy cause I grew up reading them; skipping reading assignments in grammar school only to read some interview and look at pics. Lowkey, Vibe was the only print magazine that I was willing to spend my precious money on. And now its over, fiento, adios to one of the greatest music magazines around. It will be interesting to see who will attempt to come out with a knock off of Vibe....

Below is the last cover of Vibe featuring Christina Milian and The Dream. Peep how its reminiscent of Janet Jackson's 1993 Rolling Stones cover. Shouts to Necole for pointing that out!!!

Link Love: 3 Crazy Things People do on Facebook

LMAO!!!! First of all, this list is soooooooooo true. Facebook is nothing but a platform for stalkers. I have yet to meet a person who has not stalked, whether it be consciously or subconsciously, on this extremely popular social network. I even know guys, who refuse to set up their own account however they always have a friend's username and password conveniently on hand whenever a computer is available.

Anywho, check the list out from one of my fav blogs Fly Guy Chronicles.

1. They create fake profiles to keep tabs on their exes.

The title alone probably has you thinking, “do people really do that?” In short, yes they do. In fact, you probably have a friend right now who’s logged in to their “other” account to see if an ex has moved on to a new love. It sounds petty; it sounds juvenile; and if they were thinking correctly, this wouldn’t have been their course of action. Sadly, once you careen off the relationship deep end, logical thought no longer applies.

I actually dated a woman who went so far as to befriend every women who had ever left a comment on my page. I can only assume this was her way of being a private investigator to see who was commanding my attention.

Sadly, she’s somewhere locked in a padded room now … although, I hear she still gets daily internet privileges.

2. They post passive-aggressive status messages.

In the event that the “crazy” person remains friends with their former lover, a different method is used to make their presence felt. I call this the “passive-aggressive status message” strategy. This method sends subliminal messages to the intended target without coming right out and saying it. It can happen in either one of two ways. Either they take the “guilt trip” approach by posting messages like:

“Was up all night thinking about how God is going to make a way … This too shall pass.”

Or, they choose an alternate route where they portray life as being grand. This is exhibited through messages like:

“I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun … Can’t wait to do it again tonight.”

Both are desperate cries for attention, and are meant to serve as a not-so subtle reminder of their existence.

3. They post misleading pictures on their page.

I’ve decided to use a personal story to drive this final point home. A female friend recently went through a tough break up, so a group of friends decided to take her out for drinks. During the course of the evening, she whips out her camera and says, “Take a picture of me and The Fly Guy. We’ve never taken a picture together.”

As the picture was snapped, she leaned up and kissed me on the cheek. Innocent enough, right? Well that was my initial thought, until I logged on to Facebook the next day and saw that our “innocent” moment had become her new default picture. To compound the matter, she added the caption “A Really Great Man.” While I appreciated the compliment, I understood that her wording was less about me, and more about taking a dig at her former lover.

The reality is that my friend isn’t alone, as countless other men and women use the exact same tactic of posting misleading pictures to elicit a jealous response. It’s just a shame that I was used as the bait.

The Fly Conclusion: This is the point of the program where we all put our heads down and close our eyes. Are they closed? Now if any of you feel like I was talking about you, then I need you to raise your hand … don’t worry, no one can see you.

If you raised your hand, there’s no need to be ashamed … in fact, I understand where you’re coming from. Losing someone within the context of a relationship can be tough … so tough, that we don’t always handle the fallout in a productive manner. But today is a day of new beginnings, as well as a day for you to stop using Facebook, Myspace or any other social networking medium as a means to manipulate. It’s time out for that. Does everyone agree?

Gucci Responds to Jeezy's diss Track

Soooooooo Jeezy made a diss track called 24-23 earlier this week directed towards Gucci Mane and OJ the Juiceman. Surprisingly, Gucci's really calm about the whole situation.

To listen to the interview with Miss Info click here. Unfortunately, they took the diss record off the Internet so you can't hear it anymore but I'm pretty sure it's going to be on Jeezy's next album, Thug Motivation 103.
