The New York Yankees have accomplished everything a baseball team possibly could on the field, having won 27 World Championships, by far the most history. But the squad had left no mark at all in the world of personal fragrances… until now! The Yankees have partnered with The Cloudbreak Group to launch a pair of scents –
Tyra Banks showed up to the opening night of the 2011 Metropolitan Opera Season yesterday rocking a beautiful gown, nice earrings (that didn’t match) and a hair-do that looked, well, still wet from her shower. We can’t imagine that a supermodel like Tyra, who’s made a fortune from schooling other aspiring models on style and first impressions, would walk a red carpet in this fashion faux pas. So, does this mean this damp look was intentional? Is this a new trend? If not described as wet, it could also be called greasy. Neither of which tickle our fancy. Are you feeling it?

A judge just ordered Casey Anthony to pay more than $97,000 in costs associated with investigating her daughter’s disappearance back in 2008 – costs that could have been avoided or mitigated were it not for her lies. Judge Belvin Perry issued the ruling today , and while significant, it represents less than one-fifth of the amount that prosecutors sought. Casey Anthony has been ordered to pay the following: $61,505.12 to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement $10,0283.90 to the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation $25,837.96 to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office $50 to the State Attorney’s Office. The costs – $97,676.98 to be precise – were incurred while officials searched for Caylee Marie Anthony, between July 15 and September 29, 2008. Prosecutors sought more than $500,000 in costs from Anthony, who was acquitted of murder but nailed for four counts of lying to law enforcement. Perry’s order requires Anthony to pay costs associated only with counts of which she was convicted, so she’s off the hook in the high-five figures. Not that $97K is chump change, or that this particular chump won’t have issues coming up with it. A judge already declared her indigent in 2010. Maybe Dr. Phil can help with another donation. You know he’d be game if she agreed to sit down for an all-time ratings grab. Wheels are turning …
Earlier this week our sister sites, “ Hello Beautiful “, “ NewsOne ” and “ The Urban Dail y” participated in hosting an interactive conversation about the state of the union with top Aides in the White House. The discussion ended with a surprise visit from the President answering questions directly for over 15 minutes. The forum, titled “Open for Questions with Interactive One,” featured various administration officials discussing how the administration’s polices have affected and will affect the Black community, taking questions from the Interactive One network sites, TheGrio.com, and BlackPlanet.com. Make sure to visit the site and watch the discussion here: We Must Pump It Up To Pass Jobs President Obama charged all in attendance to get the truth out about the state of employment and what is happening across the nation. Though it’s difficult to be optimistic about the bleak job market when unemployment is stuck at around 9.1%, but a survey just released by employment services firm ManpowerGroup offers hope for job seekers in many places around the country. The survey reveals that the metropolitan area with the most optimistic forecast of all for hiring this fall is San Antonio, Texas, and there’s also the good news that employers in 45 states expect the bleak employment picture to perk up. In fact, hiring managers in dozens of metropolitan areas anticipate considerable increases in hiring, while others present a darker forecast. In fact, Baltimore-Towson employers are expressing similar sentiments. Twenty percent of that metro area’s hiring managers anticipate a bright fourth quarter. Meanwhile, 7% expect to decrease their payrolls, 71% anticipate no change and 2% are uncertain. This yields a net employment outlook of 13% and positions the Maryland metropolis as the third best place for finding a job this fall. Greensboro-High Point, N.C., St. Louis and Tulsa enjoy the same rank. Part of the fact is that America at large feels that lawmakers are acting like spoiled brats. Here is a recent poll taken during the debt ceiling discussion: Tell us what you think. We want to hear from you.

A trip to one’s spouse’s grandmother’s house isn’t a big deal for most, but most of our grandmas aren’t monarchs, nor do they live in palaces. On Friday, Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth II went on a one-on-one tour of the exhibitions for the summer opening of Buckingham Palace. The exhibits prominently feature the April 29 royal wedding. Among the items on display are Kate Middleton’s Alexander McQueen wedding dress , her Cartier tiara, and the three-foot-tall wedding cake. Here’s the Queen and Duchess taking it in … The Duchess and the Queen admire a piece of history . [Photos: Fame Pictures]
