With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, there was a New Year's Eve vibe to it: enthusiastic party people at every square foot of club/lounge space in the city - your town included. My Saw inspired, blood splattered, psycho get-up isn't on record; that's a whole nother story.

On Wednesday, January 7, at Roseland in New York, there was a hip-hop studded Notorious premiere party. D-Nice (and others) supplied the digital sounds. Alltheparties's got you on flicks. Here's hoping the movie lives up to the East Coast hype. ← I'm betting it's a regional favorite. You see Gravy up there, standing in for Big Poppa.. more..

Go away, there's nothing to see here. Or I should say, no story here. These are pictures from a barber shop in Philadelphia, appropriately named, Philly's Finest Barber Shop and a couple from The Bigen Barber contest. The pictures were shot by hudgons, the same guy who snapped The Black Carpet flicks. He's got a great eye; in need of a Flickerazzi. See if you agree.. more..

Last night in a tucked away spot in NYC there was an album release party for the man of the week - Nas. Untitled hit stores yesterday; Entertainment Weekly praised it as one of Nas's best albums. The Baltimore Sun tagged it 'thoughtful, angry rap'.. making this conclusion, "There's much to digest and debate on the new album.

Nas had plenty of energy for the celebration.. more..

Last night, New York's Club Touch was the location of Snoop's invitation only "Ego Trippin" release party. That didn't mean that word wasn't out. Desperate party people showed up to get in whether they were invited or not. Among those stuck outside? America's Top Model winner Jaslene Gonzalez. She was flicked with a friend outside the club in what we'll call.. happier times. A few minutes later, Jaslene was spotted pleading with bouncers and the keeper's of the velvet rope to .. Please, let me in! Apparently, ANTM nor a Tyra Bank's business card meant anything to them - Jaslene was DENIED. more..
