This Weekes’ Best: Crushing for Chris Paul

By Aixa Weekes Feb 17, 2009

NBA ALL STAR RECAP

The West had a victorious win over the East, (146-119) in Phoenix on Sunday night! And, although this year’s NBA All Star MVP was shared between Shaq and Kobe, there should have been an All Star Crush awarded to Chris Paul. (It would have been well deserved.) The 23yr old Hornets’ guard was certainly a wow factor for many, and I’m not just referring to his on court performance.

Alsoooo…

Allen Iverson’s cut was also a highlight this past weekend, and I can agree, he was needed for a new look. This one takes us back to his days as a Hoya!

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK is in full effect, all while attracting the likes of Kanye West, Solange, Justin Timberlake, Zoe Saldana, Joy Bryant and Kim Kardashion (accompanied by Reggie Bush, of course) to name a few. Nonetheless, one of the most anticipated shows of this week is BABY PHAT by Kimora Lee Simmons. It’s usually the energy of the eclectic crowd along with DJ Cassidy spinning the the top hip hop tracks that really make this event a show!

I haven’t a clue what treats Miss Fabulousity has stirring up for Fall 2009 on Tuesday, yet it’s her well-known finales with adorable daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki that we live for.
