Went too far?

Say What?

"She got an ass that could swallow up a G-string
n up top yeah two bee stings
and I'm beastin
off the Riesling"



Wondering if Kanye is aware he bascially just described himself as a rapper drinking fizzy fruity German white wine attracted to a woman with a massive ass and no tits? Just wondering.

Fake News - Inside the Limo

Britney Spears is back in the limelight and doesn't seem to be cringing as much. Has the latent teen queen finally found a worthy therapist or is the truth much more gruesome and sinister? We at Pomp hear that her publicist just wasn't ready to lose her meal ticket and took some desperate measures to get her pubis back into the good graces of the American public. Rumor has it, that Spears is hiding in the hills somewhere getting lobotomized after certain "Face/Off" inspired plastic surgery with her publicist. Could it be? Is the Spears who sings about Womanizers and smiles readily at the cameras really a Spears’ publicist with a new face on? Say it ain't so!!!



Leading up to Lance Black’s self-congratulatory Oscar speech and the melee over Prop 8 in Hollywood’s hallowed halls, Rihanna revealed to long time BJ buddy Chris Brown that she is a man, prompting her vicious beating. After successfully hiding her true sex behind a square jaw, she was driven by dope and booze in a glamorous pre Grammy’s party to open up to her beau. Brown’s own sexuality was not only called into question, but he was enraged he could no longer accurately call her “his bitch.” In the ensuing media frenzy and secretly supported by down low doormat Kanye West, Rihanna and Chris have reunited. She still has the pecker, but apparently not the balls to leave this slimy singer.



Quick fix: Aaron Spelling's spawn Tori will be doing a reading this Wednesday from her "book" at 7 on 82nd and Broadway Barnes & Noble.

I'm with the Band

Stepping into the small TriBeCa space that houses the Fall/Winter Band of Outsiders collection, I feel as though I've stepped onto the set of some lost 60s Godard film. Vintage set pieces create a surreal sort of Parisian cityscape (or is it Central Park, or the upper east side?) Bored schoolgirls sit idly in front of an old television, or on beds and park benches waiting for something to happen to them. The guys on the other hand, are active. Prepster boys pass the time playing chess, performing card tricks, climbing rope, and chatting up unseen persons on the telephone (presumably not the girls waiting at home) and jotting down in their little black books. It's Gossip Girl meets La Nouvelle Vague.

The collection, designed by former casting agent Scott Sternberg, is another strong effort. The girls managed to balance themselves on colorfully disruptive heels created in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik matched with contrasting tights. The women's clothing could be seen as surreal as the props in some parts, which left Sternberg himself getting confused in the titling process: naming one item as "a mohair blend colorblock sweater...err...thing" in the accompanying notes. The menswear had a similarly maddening twist on traditional prep, with suits made in wild patchworks and pinstripes with tape lined lapels. Striped cashmere sweaters and clip on bow ties completed the look. Sperry boat shoes (another shoe collaboration) in various hues were found on every male model.

Meanwhile, Kanye West was seen modeling along with some of the actors in this "film", and was overheard saying "[Sternberg] is making the greatest menswear in America right now". Perhaps the best thing he's said this year.

Twinzies

2009 seems to be the year of twins so far. From awful horror movie The Unborn, to the weird copycat tactics perpetrated by persons who will remain unnamed (but will be pixelized).

What does everyone think of the new album? Headphone bliss? or trying too hard?

PS: Y'all know that this is just a matter of personal opinion right? Because it is... in case that wasn't perfectly clear.
