USHER RECEIVES A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME

Usher has been a star for many years, but he finally got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On Wednesday, the R&B crooner-turned-actor accepted this landmark achievement by reflecting on his journey in the industry.

“I’m here because I haven’t given up and I have even more to tell,” he said. “It’s a story that started many, many, many years ago that leads to this moment. It’s not just what you do while you’re here. It’s the evidence of what you’ve done and what you leave on the walls, on the ground, and the hearts of all the people who are passionately connected to what you put out in the world.”

 He also took time to thank his loved ones for their ongoing support. “I don’t just celebrate this moment by myself,” he said. “I celebrate it with those people who invested in me, those people who loved me in my hard times.”

While Usher’s family was beside him, so were some of his famous friends, including Stevie Wonder, Kelly Rowland, Miguel, and will.i.am. Others, like BJ the Chicago Kid, shared their congrats on Twitter.

 

KANYE WEST YEEZY SEASON 4 AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK DEBUT.....FASHION OR NAH?

Kanye West does it again. After wowing fans at Madison Square Garden for Yeezy Season 3, Mr. West presented his Season 4 show today, kicking off New York Fashion Week with yet another grand display.

Overlooking New York, surrounded by greens, and backed by regal strings, Season 4 proved to be another extravagant, stylish, and momentous event, held at the Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan.

The Vanessa Beecroft performance, presented by adidas, was also star-studded. Chanel Iman and Teyana Taylor both appeared on the catwalk, the latter continuing an impressive hot streak following her stunning “Fade” music video performance. Elsewhere, Justin Bieber’s rumored girlfriend Sofia Richie, daughter of Lionel Richie, made her runway debut.

 But  unfortunately never has the struggle been more real. At least two models struggled with their heels during Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 show at Roosevelt Island on Wednesday, September 7, and their attempt to carry on the show was medal-worthy.

Prior to the show, ‘Ye was criticized for a casting call that asked specifically for “multiracial women only,” a critique he discussed with Vogue before the show. “How do you word the idea that you want all variations of black?” he said. “How do you word that exactly?”
