Look who we have here! Beyonce & Jay-Z were spotted dining at Nello’s Restaurant on the upper eastside. Word is, they spent $1200 on lunch (including a bottle of Dom Perignon) and left a $500 tip for the service. Do the math, folks…that tip was over 40% of the total cost of the meal. That’s the business, especially considering the way some folks go down to ATL and “ball” yet skip out on meals or get cheap with the strippers.

This aerial shot of a bangin’ a*s $10mil home was posted on Ri Fenty TV on Youtube and is allegedly Rihanna’s new digs. Uh, Ri-Ri…you ain’t ballin’, are you? Can I get a room there and call it my weekend vacation spot? I’m just sayin’…
Well ain’t that a blessing? Christina Milian better hur’up and get on that 18 year plan. This could (eventually) mean a bigger payout than the one Kelis is requesting from Nas:

An American widow sold her husband’s burial crypt directly on top of film legend Marilyn Monroe’s final resting place for $4.6 million on Monday, through online auctioneer eBay Inc.
Elsie Poncher has said she was selling the crypt in a small, celebrity-heavy cemetery in Los Angeles to pay off her mortgage.
The auction opened earlier this month at $500,000 and attracted 21 bids before closing on Monday. eBay did not say who submitted the winning bid.
“We are currently working with the seller and the high bidder to finalize the sale and will be happy to report more of the details once the sale has been completed,” it said in a statement.
Poncher’s husband, Richard Poncher, bought the crypt from baseball star Joe DiMaggio, Monroe’s ex-husband, as the famous couple was divorcing in 1954. Continue…

Lisa Wu-Hartwell was the ONE Real Housewife that I really thought had everything together. I had high hopes for miss lady but with every turn, there seems to be more leaks as to why none of these heffas are really balling. What’s REALLY good? According to TMZ:
Hartwell and her husband, former Oakland Raiders linebacker Edgerton Hartwell, were booted from their multi-million dollar Georgia mansion last week — after the bank foreclosed on the place and sold it shortly after.
Hartwell’s rep tells us the couple was in talks with the lender to restructure the loan because the home had lost value — but that failed. They originally bought the place for $2.9 mil back in 2007 — but the bank only got $1.9 mil when they resold it this month.
WHOA! So after reading reports that Kanye West spent some coins on vintage clothing at Deliciously Vintage in Chicago, I was HOPING that somebody, somewhere would release some pics of what it was exactly that he bought.
Again, I’m more of a fashionovice than a fashionista. I keeps it real simple and plain. On ANY given day, you can find me in some well fitted jeans (they don’t have to be name brand for me to rock them), a cute fitted tee and some heels…hair in a ponytail. And? But I know “cute” when I see cute…and IMO, this ain’t it. Yea, it’s vintage. Right, I get it. But word? If Kanye is looking for a personal shopper, he needs to message as quickly as possible. I clearly would’ve taken that $5k, headed straight to my local Thrift Store & pocketed saved him at least $4,950. iKid
What do you guys think? Oh and feel free to comment about vintage clothing. I’m not knocking it at all but I am curious if you have more information about it.
