Tina Knowles-Lawson posts throwback of daughter Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland singing Lovefool - Daily Mail

Posted: 09 Feb 2021 06:10 PM PST

On Tuesday, Tina Knowles-Lawson shared a silly video of her eldest daughter Beyoncé and 'bonus daughter' Kelly Rowland singing The Cardigan's Lovefool.

In it, the former Destiny's Child bandmates bounce around with an unidentified gal pal while belting the 1996 track karaoke style in a kitchen.

'I remember this day like it was yesterday,' the 67-year-old Texan captioned the vintage clip to her 2.9M Instagram followers.

'Everyone had come home for the Thanksgiving holiday. They were so young and silly.'

The 39-year-old R&B songstress - now a 24-time Grammy winner - pulled lots of faces as she mugged for the camera in the home movie.

Even in a casual setting, Beyoncé naturally upstaged both ladies years before she would break out on her own for solo fame.

The Swedish band are still considered one-hit wonders for their nineties codependency anthem, which peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.

Lovefool was also famously featured on the soundtracks for Romeo + Juliet, Cruel Intentions, and Virgin Territory.

Tina was likely inspired after watching Kelly Clarkson cover the same song for a 'Kellyoke' segment on Tuesday morning's episode of her NBC daytime talk show.

The Ivy Park designer recently shared a 67th birthday tribute to her 'beloved matriarch' by posting a snap of Knowles-Lawson, age 38, in 1992.

'You are my Queen, my heart, my strength, the bone in my spine,' Beyoncé - who boasts 261.2M social media followers - gushed on January 4.

Lori Harvey & A Shirtless Michael B. Jordan Give Fans ‘B & Jay Vibes’ While Smoking Cigars On a Yacht — Pic - HollywoodLife

Posted: 09 Feb 2021 05:32 PM PST

Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan oozed Bey and Jay vibes in a pic the model posted while paying tribute to her 'Black Panther' star boyfriend on his 34th birthday.

Michael B. Jordan's girlfriend Lori Harvey is celebrating the actor's 34th birthday in a big way. The 24-year-old model took to social media on Feb. 9 to pay tribute to the Creed star with a slew of images and clips, old and new, of the hot couple. One photo in particular of the pair caught the eye of a fan who compared Michael and Lori to none other than Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z.

"This is giving me B & Jay vibes," one fan, who dedicated their Instagram page to Steve Harvey's daughter, captioned a reposted photo from Lori's account. It was a throwback from the socialite's 24th birthday celebration just a few weeks earlier during which Lori and Michael partied onboard a yacht during a romantic getaway to St. Barts.

Michael — who was crowned People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020 — went shirtless in the photo while cozying up next to Lori as they sat side-by-side on the luxury yacht. He wrapped his arm around the beauty who wore an unbuttoned crisp white men's dress shirt. She wore her dark brown hair slicked back in a bun with not a single flyaway in sight and a pair of tinted designer sunglasses.

It's no surprise that fans spotted the similarities between Lori and Michael's romantic photos with ones that The Carters have shared in the past. Back in September 2017, Beyoncé, 39, gave fans a peek into her life with Jay-Z as she shared photos of the power couple during a sexy date night out. The mother of three and the rapper, 51, shared a sweet kiss during their yacht cruise while the music mogul held a cigar in one hand.

Meanwhile, Lori and Michael are going strong and the Black Panther star got along great with Lori's family while celebrating her 24th birthday last month on Jan. 13 with a party at Steve Harvey's new Atlanta home. "It was really important to Lori that Michael be there to celebrate her 24th birthday with her and her family because she definitely sees their relationship going somewhere," a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife at the time. "Lori and Michael have been inseparable and she couldn't be happier with him. She couldn't have imagined spending her birthday without him by her side and she loves that he blends in so amazing with the people that matter the most to her."

Related JAY-Z's new Monogram cannabis unboxed and reviewed - Leafly

Posted: 14 Jan 2021 12:00 AM PST

I got 99 problems but JAY-Z's weed ain't one.

The 22-time Grammy-winning rapper debuts in California's adult-use marijuana market this year with a premium-priced luxury weed brand—Monogram.

The actual herb quality varies and the price point attracts haters. But JAY-Z is a dime bags-to-riches American icon. He's New York royalty and the owner of Roc Nation.

Beyonce's husband commands legions of fans with cash and humble dreams to buy up not only the weed but the backstory, and even fresh stock in the company.

What we reviewed

So fresh and so clean-clean: Monogram makes a serious first impression. (David Downs/Leafly)

This January, Leafly reviewed:

  • 2 grams of the "No. 03" flower ($40+tax)
  • 2 grams of the "No. 01" flower ($40+tax)
  • a 1.5-gram "handroll" ($50+tax)
  • And the No. 96 "loosies" pre-roll 4-pack ($40)

The loosies were mediocre, the handroll and No. 01 flower came out satisfactory, and the No. 03 flower took the throne. All of it was a serviceable first effort from a celebrity brand.

Monogram's naming system

Grown indoors in San Jose, CA, Monogram eschews strain names and THC scores. Instead, strains become numbers and potency is either "light," "medium," or "heavy."

As a consumer, this is not helpful.

The No. 01 seems like an OG Kush and the No. 03 resembles an exotic Cookies cross. But how do lovers of OGs and Gelatos find those on shelves?

It's just like wine: Cannabis strain parentage brings along an audience. Monogram jettisons that brand value.

Also, people like their THC scores. Yes—some lab fudge scores. Yes—THC does not tell the whole story, but it's better than nothing. Maybe label it a "No. 01, medium," but stick the details on social media, or something.

Monogram No. 01 details

Anyhoo—the No. 01 medium smelled like an OG cross, and looked, tasted, and felt like one: a hybrid body-buzzing, chatty, sensory-enhancer. Not Watch the Throne-level, but solid, A-grade indoor. Respect.

Monogram No. 03 details

The "No. 03, heavy" does earn the throne.

It looked icy and an exotic white-green-purple, with a complex, sweet, cake, and fuel smell. The No. 03 nugs felt hyper-dense and powdery with trichomes. The ground aroma hit spicy, sweet, scrumptious, and cherry. It had a cherry ice cream taste and moderately heavy effects with crazy appetite stimulation.

The No. 03 earns the title of "luxury," and you pay for it—$40 plus tax for two grams.

Monogram 1.5-gram handroll details

You'll feel Shawn Carter's style in the black handroll carrying case and the hand-crafted fatty inside.

Big and black, the size impresses. It conjures the doinks that pot growers roll with pounds sitting around. "Oh, you fancy, huh?"

The downside: Half the terpenes—the aromatic molecules that give the bud its character—had left the building. This pre-roll still smelled better than the industry average, but that's not saying much.

Signs of high quality: Nugs, not dry shake, went into this joint, and the flower wasn't machine-ground. The dry hit tasted mild, piney, and lemony. It burned fine and pulled fine—inoffensive and serviceable in every way.

Real weed heads don't pay $50 for 1.5 grams, as stoners can roll their own. However, this'll make a great gift for the college buddy you listened to The Black Album with. Sales data show a growing percentage of customers willing to pay $80 and up for an eighth-ounce of weed.

Monogram loosies No. 96 details

Here we've arrived at the weakest link, and it's still not bad. The No. 96 loosies are four small joints each in a black case—great for a spaced beach meet-up. Folks can smoke their own, 'cus don't pass that shit right now.

Sadly, the terps here were industry-standard M.I.A.: missing in action. The joint tube didn't harbor any great smells, the weed smoked neutral, like the usual house pre-rolls around the Bay. It wasn't harsh or bad-tasting, just forgettable.

The story behind the bud

But here's the thing: When you buy and smoke Monogram, you're not just buying herb, you're also buying a story. The brand garnered mentions on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Instagram features by Jadakiss.

Carter started working with major California licensee Caliva in July 2019. He's Monogram's Chief Visionary Officer, with a reported 50% stake in the brand.

Both Caliva, Monogram, and a dozen-plus brands now reside in shell company "The Parent Company." They're aiming for the crown of "Largest publicly traded cannabis company in California."

Selling weed, and stock

Look beyond the trees—this is a paper play. The Federal Reserve's interest rates make money nearly free, and amateur day traders feel frothy.

Not only can you buy JAY-Z's weed, you can buy securities in The Parent Company's parent company, Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. Subversive is a so-called blank-check company (called a SPAC) and it explicitly aims to consolidate or roll up cannabis brands in California, and beyond:

  • Subversive raised $75 million on the Canadian exchange NEO
  • JAY-Z got 5 million shares of The Parent Company, while Roc Nation gets $25 million in stock and a $7.5 million annual fee
  • The four-month-old "SBVCF" security also trades in the US
  • Entertainers Rihanna, Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, and DJ Khaled are reported investors

According to the Wall Street Journal on Jan. 14., early SPAC investors like JAY-Z carry little risk and can take major profits.

"It's a free lunch—there's no way around it," New York University assistant law professor Michael Ohlrogge told the WSJ.

And late investors end up holding the bag. Instagram commenters talk up SBVCF, but buyer beware: this is an "over-the-counter," four-month-old stock—untested and volatile.

All of which is to say: Your relationship to Monogram will color your enjoyment of it.

In one corner, cash-strapped, legacy growers reflexively hate the new competition. In the other corner, amateur stock pickers get high on their own supply.

(Disclosure: I own zero stock in or positions on SBVCF; I lost my own 401(k) password.)

The bottom line

Monogram isn't for true players, but the true players are disappearing—melting icebergs in the warming sea of legal weed.

Mainstream Grammy-watchers get to feel fancy with Monogram this winter, and Jigga's partner Caliva stands to deliver.

Caliva processed 1.5 million legal weed transactions in California in 2020 alone. Monogram is currently sold out. You can't knock this hustle.

Serena channels Olympic champion FloJo with single-legged catsuit - Reuters

Posted: 08 Feb 2021 12:58 AM PST

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Serena Williams debuted a striking single-legged leotard in her first match in the Australian Open on Monday, paying homage to the Olympic track champion Florence Griffith Joyner, known for her long, colourful fingernails and flamboyant outfits.

After wearing the black, red and pink catsuit to dispatch Germany's Laura Siegemund, Williams credited Nike for coming up with the idea to channel FloJo, as the athlete was popularly known, and spoke of her admiration for the late athlete.

"I was inspired by FloJo, who was a wonderful track athlete, amazing athlete when I was growing up. Well, watching her fashion, just always changing, her outfits were always amazing," Williams told a press conference.

Joyner's Olympic records for the 100 and 200 metres set in Seoul in 1988 still stand, although her early death at 39 from a seizure raised suspicions of possible steroid use that tarnished her legacy.

"This year we thought of what can we do to keep elevating the Serena Williams on the court," Williams said.

The idea to tap FloJo for inspiration came from the Nike team, she told a press conference.

"I was like, Oh, my God, this is so brilliant...Obviously we made some changes and tweaks to it. It became this."

Williams is not the first celebrity to pay fashion homage to Joyner. During a tribute to Black athletics stars at Halloween in 2018, singer Beyoncé wore a single-legged maroon leotard.

Her husband Jay-Z wore a tracksuit and gave black power salute, in a nod to Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who made the gesture at the 1968 Mexico Olympic to protest racial injustice after finishing first and third in the 200 metres.
