Known for being a party city in France, St. Tropez was the scene of a party that included Snoop Dogg. He let loose on the French Riviera port city after performing at the VIP room. Apparently he wasn’t just dancing solo either. An affectionate local was seen luring Snoop Dogg on the dance floor amidst martini’s and music. Ah, I think someone should remind Snoop Dogg that he has wife and kids back in the U.S.A.

Kanye West was caught by the cameras with his girlfriend Amber Rose attending the Metropolitian Opera’s 125th Gala in New York. From what I can recall Amber and Kanye have been going out for a few months now. Is it getting serious? 

The only complaint I have with Kanye’s outfit is his shoes. When guys have to wear a tuxedo the only way you get get creative is with the shoes. And his are just awful! I like a nice shinny pair, something you can see your face in.

Our friend T-Pain was one of the star performers at the Super Bowl XLIII Tailgate Party fan zone. What is with his microphone? Looks like it has a gold face on it.

I originally believed that T-Pain was going to be one of the performers at the half-time show. Should have known that the Super Bowl was too white for that.

Did you guys see President Barack Obama’s Inauguration yesterday? It was amazing. I was so grateful that I could be there, witnessing such an important piece of history. Jay-Z and Will.I.Am both performed at the Neighborhood Ball yesterday evening. Jay brought down the house when he performed his song “History” and Will.I.Am’s performance was just as appropriate when he sang “It’s a New Day.”
Jay-Z – “History”:

Will.I.Am – “It’s a New Day”:
