Hellz Bellz Head Designer Takes Us Inside the Company Closet

One of my favorite streetwear lines especially for the ladies is Hellz Bellz, which is based in L.A.. If you don't know, get familiar by peeping the Web site at www.Hellz-Bellz.com. Anyways, take a look at this KarmaloopTV clip with Hellz Bellz Head Designer Lanie Alabanza-Barcena and find out what's in store for the new collection.

New Joint: Keri Hilson "Slow Dance"

I was really impressed by this one. It has that sexy Prince vibe and she got down during that dance break. Not to mention, she was wearing the heck out of that snake-skin dress. Fierce! And there's some decent cameos in the video, too: Monica, Chris Brown, Omarion. I see you, Miss Keri!

Rihanna Poses for Vogue Italia

Rih Rih looks pretty fierce, in a Grace Jones sort of way, in this spread for Vogue Italia. These are just a few of my faves. See more photos at NecoleBitchie.com.

Swag Check: Hellz Bellz

Hellz Bellz was the brainchild of Lanie and Bam born in 2005. Hellz aims to reintroduce strength, individuality and sexual empowerment with a sassy, balls to the walls approach. Kill that cutesy damsel in distress noise: the bad girls, bookworms and divas alike are represented. To reflect a woman deeper than the hyper-femine stereotype. Hellz calls to all women who confront conformity, tear down boundaries and rewrite the rules. From the back alleys to the art galleries, the suburbs to Broadway, wake up, take charge, and let it be known, "LONG LIVE HELLZ!"

Video of the Day: Slum Village "Actin' Normal"

Directed by Dwele, this joint comes from the soon-to-be-released "Villa Manifesto." This video also features the late Baatin, doing his thing. Good to see them boys back at it.

Janet in Pitch Black

This photograph is intriguing, in a beautiful yet strange way. This picture was sent exclusively to members of Janet Jackson's fan club. @JanetJackson recently tweeted: "I just finished working on the film, "Why Did I Get Married Too." I'm looking forward to getting started on my new album!" Go 'head Ms. Jackson.

New Joint: Cee-Lo feat. Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump, Travis McCoy & Janelle Monae "Open Happiness"

Directed by Alan Ferguson, the music video for "Open Happiness" takes the viewer on a psychedelic journey of sorts. Leave it to Cee-Lo Greene to rock a zebra-print suit. I'm loving the fact that he reached across genres to collaborate with the frontmen from the punk rock bands Panic at the Disco! and Fall Out Boy, as well as Travie from Gym Class Heroes and the eccentric Ms. Monae.
