DAAAAAAAAAMN! Tiger Gets Mauled In Settlement


Tiger Woods will pay his soon-to-be ex-wife Elin Nordegren $750 million in a record-setting divorce settlement, U.K. newspaper The Sun reports. Nordegren is expected to file for divorce in the next week.

The terms of the settlement also reportedly grant Nordegren primary custody of the couple's two children, daughter Sam, 3, and son Charlie, 1. Woods also enters into an agreement not to bring any new women into the kids' lives or near them unless he has remarried. 

Besides the kids and the cash, Nordegren purportedly receives the family home in Windermere, Fla. (outside of which Woods crashed his car on Thanksgiving Day, leading to the revelations of his serial infidelity); an apartment in Stockholm; and a new, unfinished estate in Jupiter, Fla.,, all worth multimillions.

In exchange, the 30-year-old Swedish swimsuit model agrees to keep her mouth shut about Woods' numerous extramarital affairs. 

Not only is the settlement thought to be the most expensive in history, but it would wipe out nearly three-quarters of Woods' previously estimated fortune of 
$1 billion, although the Sun reports that Nordegren's legal team discovered he was worth much more than that to date.

Another Reason I F*cks With: Kevin Durant

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Becoming the youngest player ever to win the NBA scoring title and leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to the playoffs gave Kevin Durant(notthe leverage to command some serious dollars this offseason.
Just hours before he can begin negotiations on a long-term contract extension, Durant had no interest in airing his demands publicly.
At the opening of his second annual children’s basketball camp in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Durant passed on the opportunity to say he wanted to sign a maximum contract.
He has previously expressed his desire to sign a long-term extension with the Thunder.

Years ago the only way to get your hands on high end luxury goods was to make your way to the nearest big city. Now with Gucci, Louis Vuitton and other high end designers selling online it’s no wonder Prada is joining the ranks. Here is what they had to say:

"Poser" By Gee.Aye

Poser
Do you do interesting things because you’re a interesting personal and like new experiences; or do you do interesting thing because your fucking boring and you want people to think that you live a well rounded life and like to brag or want to be “Cool”. This aint high school. Get a fucking identity.
Do you do it for the conversation piece. Like the books you have on your coffee table and book shelves that you never read. Like the eclectic music selection you have just because Jay-Z said he likes Coldplay….6years ago. When Galang came out on the Honda commercial you turned the channel but when Paper Planes came out you well knowledgeable about Maya (M.I.A.)
Do you shop at all the “cool” shoe store boutiques because everyone has dope colorway kicks now, but don’t know the names or even a small amount of information about the design concept or designer. Do you even know who Tinker Hatfield is? Did you do like everyone else and hop from AF1..to..Dunks..to..Jordan 1’s..to..Air Stab’s..to..AirMax90..to..AMax1’s..to..Jordan 4’s..to..CourtForces..to..Blazers just because your lame ass didn’t know shit about kicks. We only bounced around to get away from you. (And those aren’t Blazers now..there Classic’s and Toki’s). Now we gotta compete with u dude that jumped off Creative Rec’s shit to Clae’s. The same dudes that can’t tell a Chuck Taylor from a Weapon. The same dudes that don’t know there are AF-II’s and III’s. Speaking of runners/ trainers when your have your convos outside “ANY” bar or club and the only thing u can come up with is a 95’ (cause that’s your only knowledge) and you give me a blank stare when I bring up Hurrache, Air Raid, Tn (Tune) Air, Air Turbulence, Structure or Pegasus. Just finish smoking your cigarette and walk away.
This is not a Public Service Announcement…these are just some thoughts on my mind. I’m not saying you have to like everything or be knowledgeable about everything. Just don’t be “That Person” So seeing how this is just a rant ima get back to pulling out my Forces for summer just so you dumb niggas can clown. Bet you think my AFII’s are Dunk Hi’s.

This is why I f*ck with him, couldn't have said it better myself.

Cold game to attack a man's pushback via Twitter. Yet very hilarious.

Gucci- Children's Collection




Certainly her lifestyle is not as flamboyant as her predecessor Tom Ford, but Frida Giannini, the current creative director of GUCCI, is as cogitative about the “needs and wants” of the market place, maybe even more so than Ford. Given that intuition, it is no surprise Giannini and the Italian fashion house announced its first ever children’s collection yesterday. Created to suit Toddlers, from 0 to 24 months, then onward to Boys and Girls, age 2 to 8 years old, the collection is not just a miniaturize version of the adult collection. Instead, there are several inclusion of designs exclusively made for it. 





Stussy X Hello Kitty- XXX Collaboration Collection

A surprising new project has just surfaced from Stussy as they keep their 30th anniversary celebration alive.

The collection is sure to get attention from girls and parents who want to make their kids look the coolest in the playground. Girls and children’s t-shirts are have been rendered in various designs that blend the best of both worlds. Other interesting items include the baby bibs, accessories and cases.

American Apparel Faces Financial Crisis

The company known for their provocative garments and sexed-up ads has been having lackluster sales as of late despite their unique marketing and sexy campaigns. Some may remember just a short while back the company ran a campaign that asked customers to send in the best pics of their bottoms wearing the companies undergarments. Despite these efforts, the company still reports losses over the last few quarters according to MSNBC:
The company, known for its signature T-shirts, sexualized ads and controversial chief executive, recently reported that its quarterly operating loss had more than quadrupled from a year earlier, and warned that it risks defaulting on a credit agreement. The news sent its stock price, already trading in the low single digits, tumbling. The Los Angeles-based company also has warned that it risks having its stock delisted from the Amex because it has repeatedly been tardy with its financial filings.
“American Apparel is unique because they’re on the cusp of a total collapse,” said Howard Davidowitz, chairman of the retail consulting and investment banking firm Davidowitz & Associates.
“Our company in the past has been through these types of issues before and it’s never really presented us with any particular difficulties in running our business,” CEO Dov Charney said in a conference call with analysts last month after the company reported a $17.6 million quarterly operating loss on sales of $121.8 million.

Playboy Suing Drake Over Sample


Apparently the men's magazine empire PLAYBOY isn't too happy with Drake's uncleared sampling of a record owned by the company. It seems that Drake's breakthrough record "Best I Ever Had' samples Hamilton, Joe Frank and Dennison/Reynold's 'Fallin' In Love' which is owned by Hugh Hefner's PLAYBOY.
Aubrey Drake Graham, Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group have been named in the lawsuit. In PLAYBOY's released statement they claim that Drake & his co-defendants “Knew or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording was protected by copyright…” and that “each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiff's rights in and to the copyrighted sound recording.”
It doesn't end there. PLAYBOY says since the blatant copyright infringement has been "continuous" and "ongoing" they want an injuction to cease and desist any further sales and distribution of the record plus a portion of all profits already accrued by the record. Check out the original sample after the click...
