From WWD:

For most models, a spread in Vogue is nothing short of a pipe dream. For plus-size models, it's even more of a rarity. But Marquita Pring, who fluctuates between a size 12 and 14, has already been there, done that. Now the 21-year-old New Yorker has a couple other things to tick off her bucket list. "I want to have my own tapas place someday. In an ideal world, I would just peace out to an island somewhere and open one on the beach," says Pring, who's been repped by Ford since 2009.

From Essence:

Model Jessica White has been turning heads since she was sixteen. After landing a highly coveted contract with IMG, she went on to show that beauty, brains and hard work combined -- equal a mega successful modeling career. When she's not gracing magazine covers or making men weak with her Sports Illustrated spreads, she's traveling the world as a Maybelline spokeswoman.

Both Jessica and her career are hot, hot, hot, so it's no surprise that the media's always buzzing about who she is or isn't dating. Jessica recently revealed she's been celibate for over a year now, which came as a shock to many of her fans. We wanted to know more about how she arrived at such a big decision, so we caught up with Jessica for an intimate chat about the power of sex, falling in love, and the importance of spirituality.

Africa, as a continent, has always been known for its bright, vivid colors -- seen in everything from vibrant woven textiles to lively painted buildings to the traditional way of dress. "Africolor," a new exhibition which opened at Danziger Projects in New York last week, focuses on these subjects, as well as its connections with color photography. The show features many works from Italian photographer Daniele Tamagni, as well as other European and African artists.

From US Weekly

The dress is hers!

After a secret, quickie wedding last November, singer Monica and former L.A. Laker Shannon Brown wed for a second time July 9.

And this time, the R&B star, 30, and NBA hunk, 25, pulled out all the stops as they exchanged vows before 340 guests (including Missy Elliot and bridesmaid Ciara) at Vibiana, a church-turned-event space. Organized by celeb wedding planner Mindy Weiss, the romantic bash featured a 40-piece gospel choir, a blue color scheme and a menu including short ribs, Fatburgers and a lemon horse-and-carriage cake.

From the New York Times:

Fans are still chuckling about Charles Barkley bursting out of the garish purple sports jacket he wore to the National Basketball Association draft more than a quarter-century ago. And who could forget Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls striding onstage in an oversize tan tuxedo and a giant paisley bow tie that seemed straight out of the Ringling Brothers fall men's line?

From MadameNoire.com:

We've been down with Amanda Diva for a minute. If you're not familiar with her, you can do so by clicking here, but let us tell you a little about this Harlem Madame. She's a singer, rapper, poet, painter, speaker and just a generally dope person. You might have caught her a few years ago touring with the lovely Marsha Ambrosious and the Deevster just dropped a new mixtape called Madame Monochrome.
