Thats what happened when I went to check out ‘Heavyweights’ latest art collective at fifity24sf Gallery in SF. I saw some amazing pieces… check it out>>

SUPRA FOOTWEAR - FEBRUARY RELEASES
Supra’s Footwear line has grown from one or two models to a line of many, and all of them are unique in their own way, thus separating the line from your regular line of sneakers from all those big name brands. Supra focuses on the silhouette of the shoe as well as the smaller details in addition to coming up with dope materials and colors, which are carefully placed on each model. Here are two new releases from the Supra line, one being the Supra Vaider in Burgandy Red and Gold, which is the remodeled vulcanized version of the Supra Raider. The second release is the Supra Cuban, a classic slip-on with an added twist, available in White and Black; this slip-on isn’t your average slip-on as it features removable tongue flap and a suede upper with hits of croc leather.

Air Jordan Cool Grey Spizikes
Last summer, shots of Michael Jordan wearing Cool Grey Spizikes first surfaced.
MJ has long been known for wearing Jordan products in public occasions early and that has been great for us wishing to look forward to new Jordan products.

Today we have now received some catalog photos as well as a “coming soon” nod from a shop with a tight Jordan connection, Opium in Paris. This shop was one of the Top 23 international stores and underwent a complete facelift for the special release.
Back to the Cool Grey Spizikes.
Back to the Cool Grey Spizikes. At this point we do not have any details on release date, availability, or pricing, but we will keep you posted. Heads up thanks to Hotsexy19 @ NikeTalk.

JAY-Z PULLS RIHANNA TO THE SIDE FOR GRAMMYS HUG?I DON'T KNOW ITS DOES LOOK LIKE SOME TENSION WAS SPARKED ANYWAY THIS IS REPORTED BY MEDIAFAKEOUT SO YOU BE THE JUDGE

February 12, 2008. There were fireworks at the Grammy's afterparty at Los Angeles steakhouse STK. According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's spies Jay Z confronted Rihanna about the infamous hug - and then all hell broke loose. Here is our insider's eyewitness account:

I saw Jay Z and Rihanna arguing. I couldn't hear what it was about, but it must have had something to do with her hugging him when she won [the Grammy}.

Jay Z was trying to be really cool about it, but Rihanna got all loud and dramatic. She was like, "I didn't mean to embarrass you ... Why are you saying that to me." And she said it so loud that people around could hear.

Everyone went over to see what was going on and the paparazzi started taking pics of the two of them. All I saw was Jay Z putting his head down and looking like "What is this [EXPLETIVE] doing to me.

I didn't see Jay Z say another word to her all night. And believe me, I was watching them. I bet you Jay Z wished he never made Rihanna his jump off.

Oh and BTW you were right about Rihanna and Chris Brown they are definitely dating. They even left together.

The above photo was reportedly taken during the argument. And check out the below video of Rihanna winning the Grammy - and hugging incident that caused all the problems

RIHANNA IN A CAR ACCIDENT
Don’t worry, she wasn’t hurt:

Grammy winner Rihanna was involved in a car accident last night following the awards ceremony where she took home a Grammy for Rap/Sung Collaboration for her hit song, “Umbrella.”

Rihanna was inside her car outside the Island Def Jam party when another vehicle rammed into it. Fortunately no one was injured.

We’re just glad there wasn’t any Hollyweird DUI sh*t added to this story.
