Split!!


I'm sure we've all heard the rumors of Christina Millian and The Dream separating, Welp! the rumors can be put to rest because the split is official. According to The Dream him and Christina have been separated since late 2009 but decided to keep it private to protect their new baby,but after pictures of The Dream and his "assistant" in the Caribbean together hit the net today he had no choice but to address and put the rumors to rest. It sucks when another black couple breaks up, but we wish them both individual success and good luck!

Harlem comes to Target!!






When Target first launched their designer collaborations, they called it Go! International - and pegged it on places like London (Luella), Paris (Paul & Joe), and Iran (Behnaz Serafpour - kind of).

Now they've gone back to that idea with their new Harlem line, collaborating with Ruben and Isabel Toledo and Stephen Burrows on some exclusive summer outfits.

Being true to their neighborhood, the clothes hit Harlem's Target store first (on July 25), followed by Target's website and select stores (on August 1).

Not only that you guys, the prices are incridible starting at $3.99 to $34.99 now tell me that aint great! and it get's better. Not only is the prices affordable,but 5% on every purchase will go to a Harlem non-profit. Isn't that awesome?? So be on the look out( I know I will be) for Harlem to hit your nearst Target!

www.Vibe.com and Solange's personal blog at: www.mydamnblog.com

"There was definitely a little bit of a breakdown involved. I literally gave up my sanity for a while to do this record. To the point to where I started doing it in Santa Barbara and I had to relocate to L.A. because I was losing it. We literally were waking up in the morning and just making music all day and all night. We left the house maybe three times! It just started to wear on me in so many different ways. I started having these crazy panic attacks. I can say that I totally sacrificed so much mentally, emotionally and financially to get this record the way I wanted it to be. It’s more than an album to me. It’s a transitional time in my life. This is a dance record, but the lyrics can get pretty dark at times. It brought me closer to my family, my dude and my son. My mom, sister and brother all kept Julez for a week. Everybody canceled work when I was going through it".
