Styling and Stomping The Runways with Momma Dee & Love & Hip Hop ATL

Written by Lead Stylist for the event 
Delvon Johnson

It’s 6p.m. Vans are lined up and unloading the cameras for VH1’s hit TV Reality series, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. Luckily, there is a place to park the car, which is filled to the brim with clothes, in all the pandemonium. Just based from all the cars in the parking lot, it was obvious that this was going to be one of those nights.

Models are running frantic. Some don’t have their make-up done, while others are unsure of what they are going to wear for tonight’s show. There is an aura in the air that something big is going down tonight, and the excitement in filling the air.

Instantly, I fall into my groove of things. Accessories, shoes, and bags are being thrown in every which direction. Models are coming at me for everything from having their clothes pinned to their thin frames to how they should have hair look for the first scene of the show. Designers are asking me a million and one questions.  I see my friend Industry Hairstylist Marisa Shockly-Wilson working her fingers off. (LoL), (Risa styled Momma Dee's hair the day before and she killed it).   Coordinators are asking for call times and line ups. Then, all of a sudden, the cameras come on when the cast of Love and Hip Hop arrive, and its show time. It’s time to Stomp The Runway!

Momma Dee, who is the coolest reality star that I’ve met in this styling game, shows up in a skin tight black cocktail dress with animal printed shoes and bag. Shay, who we all were there to witness be crowned the “new princess of the south”, appears, in a skin tight red number that put you in the mind of Jessica rabbit. With her hair swept sideways into a blond bombshell bun, she looked simply stunning. Lil Scrappy, who is far from little, also shows up with a coolness that makes everybody’s head turn. It was a night of royalty, and yes, Momma Dee is serious when she says that she is the Queen, and her children are the prince and princesses.

Backstage, the madness never stops. It almost looks like a circus. But from the sounds being heard out front of cheers and applause, you knew that the audience was very entertained. The show went off with a hitch, and the atmosphere of the venue was fabulous.

The show is finally over, and the tension has finally died down. Pictures are being taken with the models and the cast. The night was a huge success, and the charity fashion show where Shay Johnson was crowned as Lil Scrappy’s princess, all in the name of fundraising for the Higher Family Achievement Association and Mrs. Georgia US Nancy Klausner, it was a night to never be forgotten.  Special thanks to Atlanta Media Partners, Butterfly Cosmetics, MNS Media, Runwayink Atlanta, Unique Tulips and A-List Affair and photographer.

3 Doors Down Bassit Enters Rehab After Being Charged With Vehicular Homicide

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The bassist for the rock band 3 Doors Down has checked himself into a drug treatment facility after bonding out of jail, the musician's lawyer said Wednesday. Robert Todd Harrell is accused of driving under the influence and causing a fatal crash last weekend in a Nashville suburb. Police say the 41-year-old bassist admitted to drinking and taking prescription drugs before the wreck on Friday.

"He was released on bond and immediately went and checked himself into treatment," said Nashville criminal defense lawyer Ed Ryan.

The attorney declined to say where the musician is being treated. However, he said that the treatment is not court-ordered and that Harrell went voluntarily. Ryan also said that he couldn't comment any further because he had just been retained and was beginning to look into the case. Harrell spent several days in jail and was freed on $100,000 bond on Tuesday. Police say the 41-year-old bassist was under the influence when he was speeding down Interstate 40 and clipped the back of a pickup truck. The driver of the truck, 47-year-old Paul Shoulders Jr. was killed as a result of the crash.

A publicist for 3 Doors Down announced this week that the band was canceling four of its upcoming appearances out of respect for the victim. Harrell is facing multiple charges, including vehicular homicide by intoxication, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, violation of the implied consent law and possession of contraband. Police records say that Harrell seemed to be confused about the crash and what happened, and he showed signs of being impaired during a series of field sobriety tests. Harrell admitted to drinking hard cider earlier in the evening and to taking prescribed Lortab and Xanax, records show.

A breathalyzer test showed that Harrell had no alcohol in his system, records show. He refused to give a blood sample and told police that he was worried about narcotics showing up in his system, records say. Police were able to get the sample through a court order. Harrell has had previous trouble with the law. He is scheduled to appear in a D'Iberville, Miss., court to answer a 2012 DUI charge next month. He was arrested in that city in July following an accident where he rear-ended another driver, D'Iberville Police Lt. Terry Hines said. Records indicate that he was arrested in Pascagoula, Miss., in 1999 on a charge of public intoxication. Harrell, police said, was drunk and used profanity when talking to officers after being warned several times to keep him mouth shut. It's not clear if he was convicted on that charge.

Harrell, who currently lives just outside of Nashville, is from Mississippi. The band formed in Mississippi in the `90s and is known for such hits as "When I'm Gone" and "Kryptonite," did not elaborate on the statement.

Rihanna quotes "Best stress reliever = $tripper$"

Rihanna isn't stingy with her cash when it comes to a big night out. While partying at Miami's King of Diamonds gentleman's club on Saturday night, the 25-year-old pop star dropped some $8,000 on several dancers, TMZ reports. A source for the club told the gossip site that the "Diamonds" singer paid particular attention to Remy Redd, one of the most popular dancers in Miami. TMZ even posted a video showing the Bajan beauty dropping cash onto a gyrating stripper. Apparently Rihanna stopped by to see how her music inspired the ladies, and ended up enjoying herself enough to stay at the club for two and a half hours. An insider also claimed to the site that Katy Perry joined her songstress friend at the venue during the night, but a rep for Perry tells the Daily News that the "Fireworks" singer was actually in Los Angeles at the time. Nor was Rihanna shy about her racy activities. Rihanna is no stranger to the strip club scene. 'Best stress relief = $tripper$' she tweeted last year. "Last night one of my fantasies came to life! I got to see K.O.D. strippers dance for me to the stripper song I made!" she tweeted. The singer also snapped photo evidence of her fun night, posting a shot of herself sitting amongst a cascade of dollar bills. "Wild for the night, phuck being polite!" she captioned the Instagram shot. Rihanna continued her spending spree on Monday night, stepping out after performing at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta to visit another strip club. But perhaps it's just the singer's way of winding down after a concert. After all, Rihanna tweeted last year, "Best stress reliever = $tripper$" Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/rihanna-drops-8-000-strip-club-article-1.1326074#ixzz2RQHyA7nu

Michelle Rodriguez Is Taking A Break From Acting????

Michelle Rodriguez is a furiously fast rising star in Hollywood but tells Cosmopolitan for Latinas she may just need a break from being on-screen. “The truth is I’m about to say goodbye to acting for a minute and move behind the camera,” the 34-year-old actress tells the magazine for the May issue where she appears on the cover. While she’s commanded an on-screen presence over the years in movies like “Avatar,” “Fast & Furious,” and “Machete” she admits that she “got into this business to write.” After a successful run as an actress Rodriguez knows that in order to concentrate on writing she has “to do the cutoff” from her movie roles.

Pornographic video clips already showing up on Twitter's Vine

Less than a week after Twitter unveiled Vine, the video-sharing app apparently has developed a porn problem. Released Thursday, the app for iPhone and iPod Touch lets anyone create and share six-second clips, but it also has become a popular venue for male genitalia and pornographic movies taped off TVs and laptops. As first pointed out last night by The New York Times' Nick Bilton, searches for #porn, #sex, and other associated tags brings up a handful of videos featuring male exhibitionism and other activity. While Vine's terms of service don't expressly forbid sexually explicit content, Twitter does encourage users to use good judgment when posting content. However, Vine users can flag videos they find offensive. If clips receive enough complaints, Twitter will add a warning still to the beginning of the video that users have to bypass to see the clip.

Miley Cyrus Braless On Cosmo Cover

Miley Cyrus isn't afraid to flaunt what she's got. The 20-year-old star poses braless on the cover of Cosmopolitan's March 2013 issue and talks about her newfound confidence, as well as her hunky fiance Liam Hemsworth. Donning a white suit and not much else, Cyrus shows off her incredible body as she admits her fear of entering back into the music world. When asked to rank the parts of her life that she feels most satisfied with -- love, family, music, acting -- the former "Hannah Montana" actress puts love at the top spot. "Number one is my relationship with Liam. That's what I feel the most confident in," she gushes to Cosmopolitan adding, "because you never know; there's so much hype behind my new record, but it could come out and, worst-case scenario, everyone f**king hates it." That's doubtful, considering Cyrus has over 11 million followers on Twitter and admirers all around the world. And the reason she's so adored? Her individuality. "I think the best thing I could have done was take those two years off to really live, because now people don't think of me as who I was on the TV show," Cyrus says of her Disney past. "Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what's best for me, because people knew when I was on that show that I was really growing up. I never faked anything. I never played the Disney game of smiling and being a princess and then suddenly having a hard time, saying, 'That isn't who I really am.'" As for who she really is now, Cyrus admits she's the luckiest girl in the world, thanks in part to her delicious arm candy. "I'll literally look at him and be like 'You are hot, dear God!'" the singer says of Hemsworth. "The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, 'I'm gonna faint -- the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.' So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, 'Who's that? He is so hot!'," she continues, "That's my hubby!" Check out Miley's Cosmo cover below and tell us what you think! miley cyrus braless
