Watching the game on television is all good and well, but nothing beats courtside seats and another opportunity to flaunt your stellar wardrobe. Better yet, if you’re on a date why not show your potential lover that you can do cute and still be “down” with the game knowledge. What man doesn’t want a lady who knows the names, history and stats of all her favorite players while still rocking three inch stilettos? Those of us who are single can bring the girls along and ogle the players. Either way it’s a win-win situation! See below for courtside looks.

Black is Back…

Tyra Banks, Iman, Kimora Lee Simmons and Alek Wek are going to grace the cover of Ebony magazine’s September issue, out August 13th. The issue celebrates the influence of Blacks in fashion. The 50 page spread will pay homage to everyone from fashion designers, stylists, models and fashion icons. "A lot of the times the fashion world doesn't give a lot of attention to American Black girls from urban areas," notes Banks on Page 64. "I don't mean to pat my own back, but America's Next Top Model pulled down the curtain to this world that people thought they couldn't be a part of. Now every girl is like, 'I want to be a model.' I feel like the world is more accessible, but by no means is it less prestigious." Tell it sista! Be sure to pick up a copy next Monday.

Double Edition: What Say We?... Yay or Nay?!

Sanaa Lathan at Cavern Wallpaper and Kidada Jones for Disney Coutour Celebrate Their New Collections last month in Hollywood, California.

I don’t know folks, this hairstyle on Sanaa Lathan is looking a little busted and the dress didn’t need the tights. I think it’s a ‘Nay’ although she still looks cute like only Sanaa could. Look out for Ms. Lathan in the TV adaptation of “A Raisin in the Sun.” She'll be starring alongside the recent Broadway cast which includes Diddy, Audra McDonald, and Phylicia Rashad. I actually helped promote and watched this play when it debuted on Broadway back in '04.

Meanwhile Tyra needs to stop the persistent madness. A woman this beautiful must really be messing up to look this bad. Let’s begin with her hairline which consistently shows the lace from her wig. Then how could you miss the fake eyelashes that look like spiders on vacation. She’s wearing entirely too much makeup and the dress is not flattering her curvy figure. Is the lace part of the original dress? Who knows? A big fat NAY!
