What Do You Think of G.O.O.D. Music's latest singee, CyHi Da Prynce
Most of the world was introduced to CyHi da Prynce via Kanye's “So Appalled,” where he vowed that “if God had a iPod I would be on his playlist,” and generally held his own alongside Jay-Z and Pusha-T. CyHi (that's pronounced “Sy High”, for the record) had already been active on the mix-tape circuit and making slow and steady in-roads before getting the Kanye call-up dramatically accelerated the process. Check out the much anticipated mixtape from the latest G.O.O.D. music signee below.

Kanye West 'Power' and 'Runaway' LIVE on SNL
Kanye West was the musical guest on last night's Saturday Night Live and he straight up killed it with his two performances of "Power" and "Runaway" f/ Pusha T (below). 'Ye rocked a full red outfit amidst the white floor and background and was also flanked by ballerinas in all white as well. Kanye West also continues to raise the bar for every artist with his live presentation - creating true art. He elevates the music to another level of energy with his creativity, perfectly executed concepts and stage presence. Simply amazing.
P.S. He threw a curve ball at us by premiering a brand NEW 2nd verse for Power!

Tyra's Homemade Fishnet Mask
When Trya Banks couldn't find a suitable mask to wear along with her Roberto Cavalli gown for French Vogue’s 90th Anniversary Masquerade Party last night in Paris, she went on to plan B. She took a pair of fishnet stockings, cut them up, and made her own!
“So FRENCH VOGUE mask is sum cheap FISHNET stockings I got n crazy store n Paris!” Tyra tweeted. “I cut em up n made it y’all. N did my ow hair n makeup.”
What do you think of Banks’ homemade look? We’re kinda digging it.
Naomi Campbell for Interview Magazine
Naomi Campbell appears looking absolutely flawless for the October cover of Interview Magazine. And while she may be a top model - a role model, maybe not, she admits inside the issue.
"Listen, I make many mistakes. Many mistakes. I'm not a perfect human being," she says.
"I have to learn from my mistakes. And a lot of the ones I've made have been public. So I always get nervous when people speak about something that sounds like a role model, because I don't know if I've been a great role model myself."
Campbell plays up her bad-girl persona in the provocative portfolio shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. And while the images may not exactly help change people's perceptions of Campbell, but she could care less.
"I mean, look, I'm controversial," she says matter-of-factly. "If people want to work with me, then they want to work with me. If they don't, they don't." LOVE HER!
"I mean, look, I'm controversial," she says matter-of-factly. "If people want to work with me, then they want to work with me. If they don't, they don't." LOVE HER!
Diddy Rocking a Skirt??
Okay, fine - it wasn't a skirt, it was a kilt. He wore it during his performance with Dirty Money for MTV Crashes Glasgow on Wednesday in Switzerland -which, if you’re going to wear a kilt, is probably the place to do it. (We so do not approve of this look by the way.) "I want to show you the utmost respect and embrace your heritage and culture," he told the crowd of over 1,500. "You've got to be a real man to wear this."
But isn’t it interesting that just when Marc Jacobs ditches the Scottish trend, Diddy decides to make it his new stagewear?
