Congrats to D-Nice and Malinda Williams

Jawn Murray over at AOL Black Voices is reporting that they became engaged last week. The two have been my favorite couple ever since I became a Myspace friend of D-Nice. He adores her and never misses an opportunity to let us know. Check out his page. He shares inspirational life stories and captivating images on his space. All the best and blessings to them.(Source)

Heineken Red Star Concert- Los Angeles

The show kicked off in Los Angeles on Aug. 15, at BLVD 3 with hosts, Kenny Burns & BET's Danella. Those in attendance were treated to AMAZING performances by Common, Chrisette Michele, w/a special performance by Raheem DeVaughn. D-Nice held the music down on the wheels of steel...are they still called wheels of steel? I mean with everything being so digital......in other words, he was the DJ. The event truly hails as one of my Top 5 entertainment parties I've attended in 10 years. The vibe of the fabulous venue was perfect for the Common & Chrisette experience. WOW!

Last year, Heineken established the Independent Achievement Award to recognize individuals who demonstrate the hustle and integrity and drive to succeed while inspiring others along the way. The awards are presented the night of the concert. The tour will stop through Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, Detroit, Philly, Chicago & DC.

Speaking of Chicago & DC, can I just say, Common and Raheem are my new boyfriend's (note: this will probably change once every 2 weeks)....that's another blog as well. Ha! Special thanks to Tosha Thomas of Urban Network- thanks for making the arrangement for me, and Ms. Danna Kiel for transforming into a photographer at the last minute. Check out the pics:
