WTF Alert: Gucci Gets Ice Cream

New Video: Gucci Two Times

The Dirty Laundry For January 6, 2011

Waka Is A Free Man
Waka Flocka is a free man! He was released from jail in Atlanta yesterday after posting $40,000 bail. He turned himself in on Monday after a warrant was issued for him. He's facing a bunch of charges including possession of marijuana, and possession of violating state anti-gang laws!

T.I. Gets Caught Getting It In
Speaking of jail birds, T.I. is back in trouble! This time for getting a lil too frisky with his wifey, Tiny. Supposedly, she visited him in prison in Arkansas on New Year's Eve and he couldn't keep his hands off her. During a visit T.I. and Tiny snuck off to a secret room and started messing around, they ended up getting caught, so now Tip has been moved to a "Special Housing Unit," with more security and less freedom! I'm beginning to think that T.I. is slow and doesn't learn!

Snoop Wanted To Do Some Freaky Things
Speaking of getting it on, Snoop was allegedly doing just that! A snitch told Mediatakeout.com that Snoop showed up to a bachelor party for British dudes that was full of skippers! The girl even got some video, but Snoop spazzed out on her a few seconds into her recording! I can only imagine what happened after the camera was shut off!

A BIG Fat Lie From Soulja Boy
I told you a few days ago about Soulja Boy claiming he wrote Willow Smith's song "Whip My Hair," well apparantly that was a big fat lie! SB already lied to us, saying "The DeAndre Way" was going to be his best album, and now this! A producer named JukeBox, who rolls with Rodney Jenkins, recently put Soulja in his place saying, " My house must be poppin! Cuz I had no idea Soulja was in my house when I did that song!" Dayuumm Soulja! Really!?!

Foxy Brown Is In Trouble Again
Another rapper with issues is back in trouble! Foxy Brown's former manager and friend Bernadette Brennan is suing her for $100,000 for studio time and says Foxy "needs help." She was apparantly fed up with Foxy's antics--and wanted out! Maybe Foxy and Soulja Boy can head over to the crazy house and make a date of it!

Continue Waiting On The Throne
I told you last week that Kanye said his and Jay-Z's collab album, "Watch the Throne," was dropping this week. Well Yeezy was wrong, it won't hit atreets till early March!

Nicki Minaj Is Putting Up Numbers
Speaking of albums, a big fat CONGRAT is in order for Nicki Minaj. Pink Friday is officially platinum!

Chart Action
As for the charts, Eminem is back on top! "Recovery" moved up 5 spots #2, selling 63,000 units. Rihanna's "Loud" is #3 selling 61,000 copies. Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday is #4 and Kanye West rounds out the Top 5. Keyshia Cole's "Calling All Hearts" is #10 moving 37,000 copies last week!

The Dirty Laundry for January 4, 2011

The Dirty Dirty

Waka Isn’t Starting 2011 Off Well
It’s a new year and most people are looking forward to making 2011 good, except...Waka Flocka. Oh no, his 2011 is getting off to a bad start! He recently turned himself to police after they raided his house last month. He's facing gun and weapons charges, a probation violation and allegations that he's involved in gang crime. His mom said he turned himself in because "he wanted to do the right thing and didn't want to run."

Gucci May Be Heading Back To Prison
Bad judgment seems to run in the family! A judge recently recommended that Gucci Mane spend a year in prison for violating probation. Guch was arrested in November for reckless driving and assault. Cops had to pepper-spray him to get him under control and he was also detained at Waka'a house when it got raided! What a family tree!

Lil Kim Is Still Going Hard On Nicki
It looks like Waka and Gucci have company in starting the New Year out wrong! Instead of celebrating and focusing on herself, Lil Kim spent her time on stage at a show focused on Nicki Minaj. She was performing in Massachusetts when she stopped the show to take shots at Nicki. Ok Kim, maybe in 2011, if you stopped focusing on Nicki and focused on yourself, you could maybe possibly make another hit! I’m just sayin'…

Nicki Minaj Dissed Her Fiancé
Speaking of Nicki, Mediatakeout.com is reporting that she dissed her fiancé S. Beezy to be up under Drake! MTO's snitch says Nicki and Beezy were having a good time at a New Year's Eve party…that is until Drake walked in! As soon as Drizzy walked in, Nicki hit groupie mode and left her fiancé hangin’!

Jazmine Sullivan Is Taking A Break From Music
And leaving folks hanging is exactly what Jazmine Sullivan is doing! The diva-in-training Tweeted that she's walking away from music! She said, "I'm making an official announcement that I am taking a break from music. I'm trying to figure out who I am...w/ out a mic, paper or pen."

Soulja Boy Wrote One Hit In 2K10
Speaking of paper and pen, Soulja Boy apparently did put his to good use…and no I'm not talking about for his double wood album, but rather for Willow Smith's song "Whip My Hair." Soulja tweeted, "Yes it's true I wrote ‘Whip My Hair’ for Willow Smith. That's why she says hop out the bed turn my swag on." Well, at least something is working out for Soulja!

New Releases
As for new releases, it looks like we'll have to wait a little while longer for Lloyd's new album, "King of Hearts," it's been pushed back to March 22.

Mens Cold Wether Accessories

With the weather getting colder these last couple of days. It is time for you to bring out the scarves and hats. I know a lot of men do not like to wear scarves, but it really adds a statement to your look. So here are a couple examples to give you an idea.

Gucci Goes 3D

The luxury brand Gucci is trying to take over. They just announced they are launching their new 3-D cinema glasses in December. The glasses come in a unisex aviator style that will retail for $225, and will be available at Gucci boutiques. So with the rise of all the 3-D movies coming out will you go buy your own? So you wont have to share with others that have already used them.

Gucci for Kids

Well Gucci has finally came to their senses and is making a full children wear line. The line will come out with the spring/summer 2011 collection and the logo will be a gold teddy bear. It will be divided into two collections 0-2 year and 2-8 year. The collection will be made up of playground wear, shoes, sunglasses, gifts and accessories. The company has gotten Jeniffer Lopez and her twins to be the first spoke models for the campaign. What do you guys think? Will you dress your kids in high end designers to play outside?

Gucci RTW Spring 2011

The Gucci spring 2011 show was a lot different from the shows in New York this year. Creative Director Frida Giannini sent a collection full of vibrant color with a feel of art deco meets country club down the runway. Rough materials like raffia and suede was worked with satin and silk into Giannini vision of Italian glamour. The silhouettes were clean and the gold studs added a modern glamour that made the show sparkle. Shimmering silk dresses opened the show, followed by bright solid colors yellow, orange, eclectic blue, and emerald green. Cropped blazers were paired with tailored billowy pants and glove like dresses trimmed in leather fringe. The show then took a turn and went to all back looks. The closing looks of the show were body-con dresses in the bright hues that opened the show, but embroidered with beading and raffia. The shoes and handbags used in the show was to die for Giannini stayed with the trend of the structured bags from the fall collection. I personally can not wait till this collection hit the stores. What do you think?
