My favorite actress!!! Zoe Kravitz
Kravitz was born in Los Angeles, California,[1] the daughter of singer Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet. She is of half African American and half Jewish descent. Her paternal grandmother, late actress Roxie Roker, was a Black Bahamian American, her maternal grandfather an African American. Her paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother were both Jewish.[2] Kravitz attended Miami Country Day School in Miami, Florida, and then Rudolf Steiner High School in New York. She briefly attended the prestigious SUNY Purchase Acting Conservatory, until her blossoming film career proved to be too hectic.
In 2007, Kravitz made her feature film debut in two films, both released in 2007. In No Reservations, directed by Scott Hicks, she appears alongside Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhart. She also starred with Jodie Foster and Terrance Howard in the action thriller film The Brave One, directed by Neil Jordan. Kravitz completed work on both pictures during her final year at high school. She also appeared in Cree Summer's music video Savior Self.
Kravitz also gained media attention by appearing in magazines such as French Jalouse and Elle.[3][4] Because of her successful film career she is also known in European countries, including Sweden and Finland.[5][6]
She appeared in Jay-Z's video for the single "I Know", and was also featured singing in "We Are The Ones", Will. i. am.'s online video in support of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama. Kravitz has joined the cast of the independent drama, The Greatest. Co-produced by Pierce Brosnan's Irish DreamTime Prods. and Silverwood Films, the cast of the film also includes Carey Mulligan, Michael Shannon, Aaron Johnson and Johnny Simmons.[7]
Fresh Artist!! M.I.A.
M.I.A. is a British songwriter, record producer, vocalist and visual artist.
She is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent.
Her work in music often encompasses several kinds of genres she has expressed interest in, with lyrics that voice politics, social realism and humour. Her artwork and clothes similarly feature varying topics and colour schemes.
An accomplished visual artist by 2002, M.I.A. came to prominence in early 2004 through file-sharing of her singles "Galang" and "Sunshowers" on the Internet.[2] In 2005, her debut album, Arular, was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her second album, Kala, was released in 2007.
The Device Clamps!!
The device clamps on to the feet, which are kept together, and when you kick, the tail flexes. Instead of just relying on your legs to push the water out of the way and thereby provide propulsion, the Lunocet acts more like an airplane wing and actually provides an airfoil-style "lift" which pushes you along.
In top gear (there are six speeds, adjustable while you swim) a strong swimmer should be able to leap from the water and clear the surface.
According to the "LunoFAQS", you can hit 8 mph.
Price $1250
Nas Appears On Tavis Smiley Show
Though Nas’ Untitled album came out over a month ago, it has still been a topic of discussion that goes beyond music. Speaking on Tavis Smiley’s PBS show, Nas explained his intentions with the album, as well as an American media that could be flipped upside down.
One of Nas’ biggest foes has ultimately been White-agenda media that questionably castrates African-Americans as inferior, something of which Nas contests has been present since the beginning. “They look down on us like we're the dirt of society, you know what I mean? That's just the way they looked at us and they continue to look at us.” With this in mind, Nas expressed what the future may hold for American media and its current influences. “They're going to wake up and it's going to be too late - we're going to own all the TV networks, we're going to own all the radio stations, we're going to own it all. And by then, it's too late - you should have been understanding of where we were going with this instead of looking down at us like animals, man.”

Too Black Guys Clothing
Utilizing the face of none other then Mos Def, a personal favorite Too Black Guys presents their 2008 fall collection. While we saw some comical graphics within their 2008 spring and summer releases, things take a turn for the more subtle in this collection with understated prints and details working their way in over fleece tops and bottoms, hoodies and what looks to be a solid range of denim.
