'Hot (or Not) Shots'---Romeo Miller covers 'Kraze'!!!

Hot Shot of the Day-Romeo Miller


Rapper/Actor Romeo Miller has traded in his 'Dancing with the Stars' dancing shoes, to other gigs in Hollywood.  The 21-year old rising star graces the cover of 'Kraze' magazine's Summer 2011 issue.  The ladies will most definitely want to pick up this steamy magazine to get more insight on the budding actor and record label CEO.  Romeo wants all the ladies to know he ain't 'LIL' no more.

'Hot (or NOT) Shots': Aunt Viv & Romeo!!

Just because!

New Segment to go along with the 'WTF Moment' segment I do from time to time.  We all know the paparazzi are always lurking around a corner trying to get their next 'HOT SHOT'.  I have to admit, I am guilty of it too.  Don't be looking a little crazy around me because I will SNAP a picture right quick & fast! Lol  But we have some interesting shots from Bossip and imnotobsessed.com. 

'AUNT VIV': Vivica Fox


Viv? What's up ?  Looks like Vivica has been messing with her face again.  *Sigh*
Vivica fox is seen here in Miami, Florida recently.

Remember when Vivica looked like this:


Oh well... keep on keeping on.. 'Out all Night' was a cool show!  Too bad it only last one season, but that's another topic.

Romeo:


Romeo was trying to keep it on the low, leaving The Cheesecake Factory, but VOILA! The paps got you man!  What's in the bag I wonder? Dessert for later?  I know my female readers would love to know...

Double Vision or Copyright Infringement? When music logos and brand logos collide!!

They say there is no TRUE original idea in existence.  Any, and everything can be derived from something else.  When it comes down to original ideas, original song titles, original movie concepts, etc.  Even when it comes down to brand LOGOS.  I've been looking around the music industry, and an uncanny trend seems to be emerging more and more.  Music groups are seeming to pattern their logos after already successful logos in existence.  I just pulled 3 off the top of my head.  I was watching 106 & Park recently and Romeo and his kid sister Cymphonique were dropping off new videos.


  I kept looking at Romeo's t-shirt and the logo stuck out to me.  I asked myself, "Where have you seen that before?"  Then it dawned on me that maybe Romeo was a spokesperson for Louis Vuitton now?  I mean he has garnered a re-emergence of fame since DWTS and his roles in successful movies.  But that was not it.  I  researched and found that 'No Limit Forever' the record label, which is now run by Romeo has a similar logo to Louis Vuitton!  Clever.  Associating your label logo with an already recognizable and established logo.  It's almost like playing tricks on the human eye.






Looking at the logos side by side and you see very little difference in the two!  Uncanny, isn't it.  Is this too close to the LV logo to cause some type of copyright infringement suit?  I wonder?  Take the LV logo and one clever stroke from the artist and voila, you have the No Limit Forever logo. 



Again, two strokes and one erasure and the NY Yankees log easily is transformed into the Young Money logo.  Seems Wayne and company made their logo more known than the fitted cap that bares the original. LOL.






And finally, Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group label on the left, Maybach the CONGLOMERATE on the right.  Just add a 'G' at the bottom and presto-chango, you have Rozay's label!

Coincidence?  Maybe not.  Its uber-clever to trick the eye to associate with an image they already know to be popular or recognizable.  I am not trying to start anything, just my observation of things.  I wonder if these multi million dollar companies and franchises know how closely their images have been 'transfromed' into other mega dollar ventures?  Something to think about?  Is there any ORIGINALITY anymore?  These images beg the answer to that question.  I'm just saying....

ZAM ZHINGA reporting... what do you guys think?

Have you seen any others like this?  Let me know!

"Jumping the Broom" hits THEATERS TODAY!!

You can chose the person you intend to share the rest of your life with, but you can't chose your family.  Sometimes the dilemma comes up where it seems you have to chose to accept who they are and try to make it work, or be alone.  These are some of the themes that are brought to life in the new moving coming this May, 'Jumping the Broom', directed by Salim Akil. 







There is a collision of worlds when two African-American families from divergent socioeconomic backgrounds come together for a wedding in Martha's Vineyard.

Take a look at the extended trailer and you will see just what I mean.











An all-star cast consisting of Laz Alonzo, Paula Patton, Loretta Devine, Angela Bassett, Mike Epps, Pooch Hall, Meagan Good, Romeo Miller and Tasha Smith; how can you go wrong with this much talent in one movie.  This is sure to be a spring hit! The movie hits theaters TODAY!
