Pre-VMA Fabness

There are parties galore going down this week in the NYC thanks to tonight's VMA's. Everybody's on a paparazzi hunt these days:

Pharrell Williams and Absolut Ruby Red hosted a Pre-VMA Party yesterday at the Chinatown Brasserie:

Cici looked like she was breaking a rib trying to suck in.

These chains are getting out of hand. And why does Kanye not bring his fiancee with him anywhere? Just wondering...

Ms. Kelli looked fab:

Sans those leggings.

Love the dress but the Aunt Kiki pose is killin' me.

Amerie looked cute.

Common is scrumptious.

All them Wayans'.

Timbaland hosted a pre-VMA Bash with GQ, Best Buy, Helio, Hennessy, Moët and Chandon at Nikki Midtown yesterday:

Pulling out the good church suit I see.

Ms. Ford was there.

Roughness.

Kelis hosted a Pre-VMA party early this week too:

Damn. I love me some Kelis but this is not a good look.

Uncle Luke is STILL kickin it.

Kanye and Swizz were there to kick it.

So was Mario.

Missy and Ciara hosted their own lil soiree:

Dog tags? Boo.

Jigga and Details Magazine hosted the Grand Opening of Rocawear's Roc Pop Shop yesterday:

Looks like somebody's gtting carried away with his diet plan.

Method Man was there to hit up the party circuit. Am I the only one with a thing for this man? Damn.

And finally, Amerie and Morris Chestnut were spotted at the VMA Awards Suite:

Then they both tried on some belts from the sponsors:

I likey.

The Randomness:

1. Who is this dude giving Mimi $4 mill worth of diamonds?? Story
2. 50 has some beef with Diddy and airs him out on a diss track. Story
3. Today is the LAST DAY to vote for me over at the Black Weblog Awards (for Blog of the Year and Best Pop Culture Blog). Apparently you can vote as many times as you'd like.
