LBS Exclusive [VIDEO]: Braxton Family Values Season 3 Premiere

On Wednesday night here in NYC, chic downtown venue STK was packed with celebrities, fans and of course, the larger-than-life Braxtons. You guys know from our last interview with the sisters that their our favorite group of reality sisters. Toni, Traci, Tamar, Towanda and Trina along with Mama Evelyn, hosted a party in celebration of their 3rd season of Braxton Family Values that aired last night at 9pm on WEtv.

Check out our exclusive video below:

DJ Kiss, currently our favorite female DJ, didn't let us down one bit. She played all the right tunes as guests sipped on signature cocktails while waiting for The Braxtons and other celebrity guests to arrive.

Everyone from Queen B (Lil Kim) to Angela Simmons and even Basketball Wives star Jennifer Williams were in attendance to support the sisters. Once the Braxtons arrived, we wasted no time hoping to get a taste of their spunky, over the top personalities.

Tamar who just the day before revealed that she is pregnant, dished on what we all were wondering. What does her pregnancy means for her music? 

"Let me clear something up. Just because I have a love on top, does not mean my album is not coming out. It’s still coming out this year,” explained Tamar Braxton.

Another bit of juice came from Traci Braxton, who WEtv has confirmed is no longer "the wannabe" but instead the “wildcard.”

She chatted with us about what we will see from her this season and let’s just say, she’s riding two wheelers. She said “You’re gonna see me with my motorcycling club!” Given what we've seen from Traci in the past, she'll have us laughing something serious for sure.

We love the Braxtons because they're so relatable and like any sisters, Towanda says “There are some days we don’t like each other, but we do love each other.”After last night's premiere, it's obvious we’re in for another crazy season.

I promise you Jesus was not in the flesh at the Caulfield, but the shoulder to shoulder, jam packed crowd could have fooled anyone.

Kickin' It: Reed Between The Lines NY Premiere

Last night I was invited to midtown NYC's Bar Basque to premiere BET's newest original scripted series Reed Between The Lines starring Tracee Ellis Ross and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Can I tell you what an amazing night I had? I died a few times and came back to life. Between meeting one of my all-time hair & fashion idols Tracee Ellis Ross to my chance encounter with Kanye West, last night was an amazing whirlwind of star-gazing & swooning. Check out what I got into:

Kickin' It: NY Screening of The Game

Cast of BET's The Game

If you guys follow me on Twitter you probably know that last night I attended an exclusive press screening of BET’s new series The Game. Though the series is new to BET, it definitely isn’t new to loyal fans who’ve been following the show since it’s cancellation on the CW Network. I’m one of those people who didn’t understand the hype behind the show until AFTER it was cancelled. I spent summer of 2009 watching each of the episodes on Youtube and I absolutely fell in love. So you can imagine my delight when I had the chance to cover the event and interview some of my favorite characters...

Wendy Raquel Robinson

I snagged a quick Q&A with Wendy Raquel Robinson, better known as “Tasha Mack” on the show. You can check out my one-on-one with her over at UPTOWN Magazine.

I also got a chance to meet my favorite guys – Hosea Chanchez and Pooch Hall, aka “Malik Wright” and “Derwin Davis”. I even snagged a smooch from Pooch – he’s a cutie! (sorry for the blur)

Here area few of my favorite Twitpics from the event...

Fierce or Foolish: Ashanti at Red Carpet Premiere

 Ashanti showed up to the premiere of "Tourist" last night donning a fur stole, full leather ensemble and snakeskin stilettos. Hmm, I'm not a fan. I might have to give this one a foolish. What do you guys think?

Fierce or Foolish: Jennifer Lopez in Lanvin

J.Lo showed up to the London premiere of "The Backup Plan" in this ensemble the other day. At first glance, I thought it was absolutely foolish. I though it looked like a garbage bag cinched at the waist. But  upon closer inspection, I began to appreciate the intricacy that went into the entire look...

I think her makeup looks amazing, and her statement necklace is on point. But this dress...I'm sorry but I vote foolish. I was also a little weary of this beehive on top of her head...

What do you guys think of J.Lo's look? Fierce or Foolish?

Updates: Sex & The City Movie 2

More pics of the lovely SATC ladies courtesy JustJared...cannot wait for this movie's release. The premiere is gonna be BONKERS...

Never thought I'd be saying this, but I actually like Miranda's look the best. I love the color of her dress, the shape, the cinched waist and the platform pumps are ON POINT! I wonder if Patricia Fields is still holding rank as stylist for these ladies.

Just when I had doubts about Patricia Fields styling the SATC crew...saw this pic. This has Patricia written all over it...not a fan but you know that Carrie, always pushing the fashion envelope.

What do you think of SJP's newspaper dress? FIERCE or FOOLISH?

September Issue Premiere Highlights

So I'm sure you guys remember my excited post about the upcoming premiere of September Issue - the long awaited documentary about Anna Wintour and the work that goes into making the coveted September edition of the magazine. Well on Wednesday evening the premiere was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and there were a few notable fashionistas present:

The two ladies of the night: Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and Sept. 07 covergirl Sienna Miller

Anna Wintour in a Prada printed dress - she's so fab.

I LOVED Donna Karen's jumpsuit. I wonder if it was her own? The gladiator sandals and silver bangles were a very chic addition...2 thumbs up for DK in this look.
Though I'm not a huge fan of Cassie, her jumpsuit was on point and the pink nails were very cute. Its chic, but still girly.

Two of my absolute favorite designers right here!! Oscar de la Renta (the great!) and Carolina Herrera. Both look impeccable per usual.

Vera Wang in a sparkly bib necklace - like my previous post predicts, don't leave home without it! By the way, this lady will be designing my wedding dress...i'm speaking that into existence.

The lovely Chanel Iman, with her new boo. She's SO skinny...but we already knew that.

Georgina Chapman looks great in this sparkly sheath dress. I love the rope tie in the middle, and you can't hate on the Louboutins.
