Of all the things that have happened in the world this week, what's at the fore in our little minds? Meet the Press meets Vibe Magazine's 20 Questions...
1) Apocalypse Now:
Kim Jong Il: Gangster with a Wave Nouveau
The dictator with the curly perm is intent on getting us all blown the hell up - firing seven missiles over the course of three days - and not giving a damn what anyone has to say about it. We just wanna know, why do high profile men submit to the whims of mad hairstylists? (See Trump, Sharpton, Kim Jong for more).

Oy, Vey
Israel and Palestine are also intent on getting us blown the hell up. Um, who told Dubya that all Americans want to stand behind him in defense of Israel? We're sooo Switzerland on this issue. You hear that out there? The blacks are NEUTRAL (if not a little tired of the Palestinians being villainized). Moreover, gas prices are predicted to hit $4.00 a gallon over this mess - as if an excuse was needed.

Manolo Blahnik, Bored, Diversifies
Clearly in need of another project, or perhaps seeking to become a fashion triple-threat (footwear, accessories, fragrance), Manolo Blahnik has joined the ranks of Tocca and Jo Malone, by making his own ridiculously overpriced line of candles. According to Neiman Marcus, it's "what every fashionista's been waiting for." For a cool $75, you too can be immersed in heliotropes, chocolate, vanilla and figs. Why aren't the topnotes leather, or rhinestone?

Naomi Campbell Beats B****es Up (oh Coral, how we used to love thee)
Already in court on charges of having assaulted two employees, Naomi Campbell now faces charges from a third employee. Why? "Verbal, physical and emotional attacks." This has to be a conspiracy. Whatever. Yay, another opportunity for us to see what she wears to court. Did you see her thighs...rather, Naomi, sashay her way into court last week in the basic black dress/black shades/weave blowing in the wind? It was Paris. It was Milan. It was the shit (sigh).

3) Entertainment
You're Either In, Or You're Out...
Wednesday nights belong to Bravo. Project Runway is back - and for the first time, we have a black male designer on the show. He's Michael from Atlanta. And we're not sure we like him because of his big-headed promos. However, he did NOT cut the fool on the show yet, to our surprise. He made a cute little white dress out of coffee filters. We'd love to root for him, so please don't let him be a jerk. Others to watch: Keith, who made a stunning (and according to Michael Kors, "emotional") navy dress for his equally stunning model; Laura, who loves old Hollywood, red lipstick, and garments trimmed in fur; and Robert, whose little red and white confection made us want to go Christmas shopping in the city...pronto.
Project Runway, Bravo, Wednesdays @ 10pm
It's Gonna Be Crucial, Yeh
Dominican (as in Dominica, not the Dominican Republic) reggae artist Nasio Fontaine has an album out. There's a track on it called Crucial, and it is the hotness. Why do so many iffy acts get contracts and airtime - we see you dirty south - while real artists have to fight to get heard?
Universal Cry, Nasio Fontaine
