SOPHNET. – Spring 2012 Collection | February Releases
Feb 22nd

SOPHNET. released a range of new pieces from their much-anticipated Spring/Summer 2012 collection this past weekend. While the theme of this year’s collection is Contemporary Basic, SOPHNET’s continues to present a series of items that feature the use of patchwork, stripes, and bold colors, as seen in previous years’ collections, but this time with a modern take on some vintage looks. This month’s releases build on what we saw from January with a 3-piece relaxed denim suit with the option of either straight pants or shorts, a pair of patchwork apparel, a linen shirt, a series of scarves, and a series of accented wing-tips built with the help of the designers over at Walk Over. These additions to SOPHNET.’s Spring/Summer 2012 Collection will hit their stores and authorized dealers this Saturday, February 25.

10 Rappers That Can Inspire Scott Storch To Get Off The Yayo
Feb 22nd
If music is the main squeeze of Hip-Hop culture, then drugs are its mistress. Drug addiction is nothing new to the game, but every once in a while things get out of hand and people end up in need of an intervention. While Snoop is perhaps the most open about his devotion to marijuana, he’s also one of the few rappers whose favorite past time—which is perfectly legal in his homes state of California with a medical marijuana card—hasn’t gotten out of control.
Then there are those who are not so lucky. Members of the Hip-Hop community who not only let drugs take over and sometimes end their lives, but just can’t seem to break away from the grip of addiction. The latest person to make headlines for this is producer Scott Storch. Once a sought after track master, as of late, Storch has been busted numerous times for powder possession, and even blew threw his estimated million fortune since allegedly getting hooked on drugs back in 2006. In hopes that Storch can somehow turn his life around, here are 10 rappers he can look to for inspiration.
Clicks on the #’s below to see examples Scott Storch, a former member of The Roots, or anyone strung out, allegedly, can use to get right.
Janet Hubert (Aunt Viv) PENS OPEN LETTER To Wendy Williams, SAYS She BULLIED Whitney Houston!
Feb 22nd

Actress Janet Hubert is directing her venom at someone OTHER than Will Smith now…..picking Wendy Williams as a target. She lashed out recently at Wendy and called her a bully due to the things she said about Whitney Houston over the course of their careers. Read the letter inside…..
Janet Hubert thinks Wendy Williams is a big ole bully and should stop spreading rumors about celebrities. She thinks Wendy was especially cruel to Whitney Houston throughout the course of her life.
Here’s an excerpt from the letter written after Wendy broke down during her show about the death of Whitney:
Dear Wendy,
This past weekend was a very difficult time for so many of us.
I watched the funeral service with the rest of the world, and cried time and time again with each story that was told. I felt like I knew more about this amazing woman than ever before. We all watched her as a little girl, center stage, singing like a bird, she was destined for superstardom. To watch her center stage full circle in death was a feeling no mother should ever have to feel. I applaud Ms. Warwick, the pastor, and all others who formed a police line of love and protection around her that was impenetrable only to those who really knew her. We, the public accepted their decision to keep it private, but they allowed us to witness her Home Going ceremony, I don’t know if I could have been so gracious. WE felt like we knew her and we knew nothing about her except what we read and hear from people like you and other media outlets. I listened to her interview with you and was compelled to say out loud. “Go on Whitney tell her like it is,” when you pried into her life back then. I had my son in the same year as Ms. Houston; we did Ebony Magazine that same year, she introducing her baby girl and me my son. I am trying to be dignified, but here goes.
The Internet has become somewhat like the 10 commandments, and this is why… whatever is posted or commented on… is forever written in stone. Neither I nor anybody can stop anyone from making up stories, reviews, lies etc, cutting and pasting whatever they decide to put together like a bad buffet breakfast.
I have had some horrible meals shoved down my throat on the web that I had no parts of.
I still have a bad taste in my mouth from a recent cut and paste meal from your beloved TMZ (THE MUDSLINGING ZONE). I believe you said once “If you heard it on TMZ then it must be true,” really Wendy?
The Internet is indeed the information highway, but it can also be “a Forum of Hate.”
Though I never knew Whitney Houston, I felt a profound sense of loss and sadness. On Sunday morning I took my dog for a walk in the park across the street and still could not shake the sadness I felt. I wondered if what I was feeling was perhaps related to losing my mother and brother this past year, but then I thought no, it was something else.
You (Wendy Williams) said that morning with tears in your eyes, that you would not discuss Whitney any further, but you crucified her the whole time she was alive, as you do so many people on your show. I want to ask you why? What do you get out of this besides money?
How do you sleep at night knowing that you are one of the biggest bullies in the world disguised as HOT TOPICS? Celebrities are not topics we are people, just like everyone else, we hurt and we hear and we bleed real blood, not fake blood, just as you do.
How do we as parents teach our children to honor each other, treat each other with kindness when all they see are images of people like you who condone and promote meanness, rude reality TV stars, and your opinion as you berate world renowned people like Janet Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others you slam on a daily basis.
I keep asking myself why no one is saying anything about this. What the hell are they afraid of? Where are my sisters out there who feel as I do?
Well Wendy, I try to teach my son to stand up, shout, and scream when there is injustice. Yeah yeah, I know, I have been screaming for years and will continue to do so as long as there are images that depict black women as neck shaking, over bearing women who can’t get along.
A sister, a mother, a daughter, a star, left this world way too early; she was loved by the world. The world mourned, I don’t think that we needed you to try and take down another brilliant sister on that following Monday morning. (Your rude comments about Janet Jackson)
You started right back up without hesitation or pause… you need to stop Wendy. We need to stop, and the world needs to stop. I need to stop as well. There will be no more quotes from me to be misquoted. We need to join together, wrap our arms around our children, everybody’s children. Remember you have a child who will suffer every slingshot and arrow that gets thrown back at you Wendy; our public lives greatly affect our children.
I know I am going to suffer some arrows for writing this letter to you, I know you are loved by many, but remember this Wendy; they love you when you are up and they love to take you down. You will not always be up, you will not always be on the A list and attend all the parties. Ride the wave sister girl, but make sure you know how to swim when the ride is over. Artists are survivors, we work hard to build our crafts and careers and I ask that you simply remember that in the future.
I’m just sayin’ it like l mean it too.
Janet Hubert
