Gorgeous… Glamour… Good Life!! Celebrities really know how to work wonder when they are out in front of the media. I got the opportunity to cover BET’s Rip the Runway Red Carpet where hip hop meets fashion. I got to kick it with one of the fabulous ROCSI DIAZ, and who could forget about the infamous cutie, Sean John model, MIGUEL PERDOMO. The highlight for me on the red carpet was between newbie BRUNO MARS serenading me and telling me I was his favorite interviewee or could it be the lovely NICKI MINAJ. Check out my rundown and tune to BET’s Rip the Runway on March 15 at 8pm. -Chantal Borgella
MIGUEL PERDOMO
The first person I got to interview was Sean John Dominican/Spaniard hottie, MIGUEL PERDOMO. He discussed with me that he just got back from LA from doing the new Sean John campaign. “I told Puff, it’s about time. The line is looking GREAT.” He then further discussed with us that the female lines are coming out in September. So, ladies, if you want some REAL sexy clothing, Diddy may just give us what we want. No more velour suits. You may also recognize Miguel from Calvin Klein, Gucci and other advertisements. Catch him on Twitter @MPerdomo23 or request Miguel Perdomo as a friend on Facebook. Trust me ladies, it WILL be worth it.
ROCSI DIAZ
Despite what a lot of people say about ROCSI DIAZ, she’s pretty awesome. How can you not like a girl that is all for cheap and fun accessories. She showed off her three finger, 1 installment ring she was rocking. She was not over the op with her outfit. She kept it nice and simple and I loved her for that. Sometimes a simple all black outfit perfects your every style and Rocsi rocked it well. She gave me a hug after we shared sentiments o our family in Haiti and Chile. .Her father is doing well and my family is well. However, take time to cherish everyone because anything is possible at any given moment. Continue to pray for Haiti, Chile, Japan, Hawaii and just the world. Follow Rocsi @RocsiDiaz
LIL B
Any artist that can empower me, can turn me into a fan. LIL B (The Pack) and I had a chance to discuss what he has been up to. “I am doing this new situation with SODMG. Shout out to The Pack. I’m still with The Pack, 100%. Me and Soulja Boy got some stuff in the works. We have a lot of new music. We just released a 250 songs mixtape online. We are just giving it to the people. We have a new album dropping. I compose now and movie score. I wrote a book too called “Takin’ Over by Imposing the Positive” by Brandon McCartney. We are taking it to a whole another level.” How could you NOT love someone that wants to enlighten the world. Follow @LilBTheBasedGod
NICKI MINAJ
NICKI MINAJ is stunningly BEAUTIFUL. Her first single drops this month. “It’s very scary. Maybe you will like it or maybe you won’t. We are shooting a video in Miami and in Mexico. New York is too cold and I’m freezing right now.” So, your dose of Nicki Minaj is dropping this month. With no set date of when she will be releasing an album but catch her on Twitter @NickiMinaj.
BRUNO MARS
Hawaiian pretty boy BRUNO MARS swooned me right off my feet with his serenation. I almost fainted. Newcomer Bruno Mars is not quite a newcomer. Last year, he had a hit “Right Round” by FLO RIDA. Bruno and his fellow songwriter partner Phil Lawrence, which their production name is “Smeezingtons” have been writing together for the past 2 to 3 years. Bruno Mars is currently a signed artist under Atlantic Records. “Atlantic know how to pick talent. I can’t hate on it.”
ZERIC ARMENTEROS
Brooklyn-native, Red Model Management model ZERIC ARMENTEROS from the new show “Model City” may just give Miguel Perdomo a run for his money. Not only is he reallllly HANDSOME, he has the NICEST smile. He is currently on a promo tour with the rest of the models and will be featured on The Wendy Williams Show. He discussed with me how Hip Hop and Fashion intertwines. “I’m from Brooklyn. So I will always be down with BIGGIE and JAY-Z. I love NAS. So as far as Hip Hop, I’ve been in love with it. I’m wearing a jacket by House of Destruction and my shades are by “Killa Keda.” Check out this hottie on Twitter @zboyfresh.
B.O.B.
I got a chance to chat it up with B.O.B. He was SO ecstatic that his album got pushed to April 27th. “It was May 25th but it got pushed forward which NEVER happens. And if it does change, it will only go forward. I feel like since I released my mixtape and they’re [Atlantic Records] riding that wave.” Check out his new song “5th Dimension” produced by Grand Hustle’s T.I. and LIL C. Check him on Twitter @BOBATL
LEE CHARM
I rarely meet an artist with a GREAT memory. So when pop/R&B artist LEE CHARM said, “you used to write for Right On!” I just chuckled because someone actually took their time to remember the writer. We usually get brushed to the side. Lee Charm explained to me what we can expect from his tracks. “I have tracks that play on Hot 97 and tracks that play on Z100. I have a live band that I rock with. They play heavy guitars, live drums, keyboards. You will hear me do something that you can hear in the club, any concepts. My EP is on iTunes, it’s Prince Charming. My name is Lee Charm. My new blog is www.leecharmonline.com. Catch this hot new artist @LeeCharmSings
NIC HARRIS
Ladies, I got the pleasure to meet Buffalo Bills NIC HARRIS. And that man is so HANDSOME. Then I found out he was born in 1986 like myself so that was pretty cool to see young people doing their thing. He’s a Southern guy from Louisiana. And during his off season, he will be traveling for the most part. Make sure to follow him @Mr_LabelMeThis
