Mr Hudson
I absolutely love this guys music. The other day a while back I had been surfing the net. I stumbled across a song with Mr Hudson and Kanye called anyone but him, the track was amazing and blew me away. Hudson has the ability to hit the high notes perfectly exeeciding all expectation as a white guy amongst rappers. He's made a name for himself and some people flip when I suggest he may accend to the level of Sting. He currently has an album out tittled Straight No Chaser.

So You Wanna date a supermodel?
By Mark Healy
There’s the assumption—which we can neither endorse nor reject—that extraordinarily good-looking women aren’t like the women you know. The theory is that women who inhabit the uppermost echelon of conventional beauty are so otherworldly, so demanding, so desired, that no ordinary semi-self-respecting man (i.e., you) could ever make them happy. Your best line? She’s heard it. Your lavish gifts? She’s got a drawerful, thank you. Your supersecret, private vacation island? She used to date the guy who owns it. These pampered, fawned-over creatures maintain expectations so outlandishly high that anyone who attempts to scale the heights required to meet them is destined for crushing failure and frustration.
Or that’s the theory, anyway. But is it true? Hell if we know. So we asked the extraordinarily good-looking Adriana Lima to set the record straight. Here’s her take.

Don’t let me scare you. Usually, guys are nervous. I think they are afraid of me. I don’t think I look scary. Be however you are. Don’t try to be what you’re not. If you’re nervous, be nervous. If you’re shy, be shy. It’s cute.
Put the Treo down and pay attention to me.If you’re having dinner with friends and they’re always on the phone or always texting, it’s just impolite. Unless it’s something important—like someone is in the hospital or something—don’t do it. It’s not attractive. It’s a girlie thing.* It makes you seem like a teenage girl. Especially if you’re talking about parties and which clubs you’re going to and who’s going to be there…it’s just silly. [*Ouch.]
Get jealous…I like jealous men. I love jealousy. I do. Everything has a limit, of course, but once in a while you have to stand up and say, “I love this person.”
...but not violent.It’s never okay to defend my honor by beating someone up. You have to control yourself, even if the other person is drunk and crazy. Just say, “Let’s go home. Let’s leave.” You don’t have to say a thing to him. I never have to see that person for the rest of my life. I don’t like fights. I don’t like aggressive people.
Don’t hit on my girlfriends!* (No matter how hot they are.)Don’t treat them like a piece of meat. Don’t flirt with them! We’re not competitive. It has happened before, and it never works.[*While we imagine a man with the courage/gall/nuts to hit on one ludicrously beautiful lingerie model while on a date with another ludicrously beautiful lingerie model may actually exist, we’ve never met him and wouldn’t know what to say to him if we did.]
A beautiful girl is a beautiful girl, not an accessory.Don’t change your personality when you get around people at a party, or don’t walk in and think you’re the hottest person because you have the hottest girl.* If you start carrying me around like a trophy, it’s not good. [*Your modesty, Adriana: It slays us.]
Just remember, you’re really dating the waiter.A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?* Don’t give orders to these people. You don’t own everything around you. Treat people with respect. [*We have a driver? Awesome!]
Your first move should be no move at all.Sometimes people are too aggressive. I need time to realize exactly who you are before I go out with you. Don’t be pushy. Don’t pressure me. “When can I see you? When can I meet you? When can we go out?” No. Take your time. When I’m ready, I’ll make the move.
Make friends with your inner viscount. Show me you can take care of me. Say you’re taking me to dinner: I expect you to pick me up and open the car door for me. Hold the restaurant door while I enter and pull out the chair for me when I sit down. Stand up when I go to the restroom and again when I return. I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it’s not forced. I can tell when it’s natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.*[*Wethinks it most unbecoming a man of good breeding to imperil a lady’s high virtue with beguilement and common trickery.]
Christian Louboutin
Where's yours at?
Now this is quite the high fashion item of the month. I see Pharrell, hip hop mogul, rocking the Hermes Birkin travel bag ($67,000). I know that this might look quite odd to some, but to me this is totally classy. Finally fashion is becoming more androgynous as time marches forward into the new millenium . This is a very cool item, and I would have to say that it is time for people to move forward.

Drake and Kanye's Album
All eyes are on Drake and his debut album Thank Me Later. But Drizzy is eagerly anticipating his peer Kanye West’s new project after hearing some of it firsthand.
The Canadian rapper-singer revealed to GQ magazine that he has been in Hawaii laying down tracks for both his and Mr. West’s albums.
When asked how they divide time between the two projects, Drake joked, “More like we work on his album until he gets tired.”
Little is known about West’s fifth studio effort, but the Young Money star offered his inside take. “His album is going to be one of the best hip-hop albums in the last 10 years,” he declared.
