MamyRock On! If Only My Grandma Were This Cool

TresSugar — Fri, 14 May 2010 06:00:00 PDT

Actually, forget about my grandma - I wish I were this cool. At 69, Ruth Flowers, aka MamyRock, commands crowds of thousands on some of the hottest dance floors in Europe. In her spare time, the Bristol, England, native gives talks on Charles Dickens at the local historical society. Take that, Samantha Ronson!

Before she became a DJ, Flowers owned a fabric store, sang Andrew Lloyd Webber covers with a group called Lana and Friends, and ran a marathon at age 57. When her husband passed away, she took up DJing. It just gets better.

Product of the Day: Plastinkuzz Miniature DJ Scratch Pad

GiggleSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:00:00 PDT

Take something regular-sized I may be lukewarm about, reduce it to a teeny-tiny size, and suddenly I'm all over it. (Am I 12?) Anyway, this cute little scratch pad called the Plastinkuzz looks like so much fun! I doubt you'll suddenly be invited to DJ tons of parties with this thing, but at the very least you can bug your cat with it, who will then kick your ass. Good times!

Baby Mix-A-Lot

From the same people that brought you Blackout, the new album by Britney Spears...

(Thanks, eBaum's World!)

The Toddler Remix

If Britney had the good sense to make this little tyke her next producer, she'd have a hit single in no time. Skeptical? Watch and let this kid's music speak for itself. Either that, or let her head noddin' do all the talking. (Cuz, let's be honest, carrying a conversation with the kid is probably a non-option at this point...)

'Lil Spin Doctors

GiggleSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:00:00 PDT

Judging from the kinda noise these kids are making, you wouldn't believe that they are only 8 and 5 years of age. Their nonchalant attitude about the whole spin-off is even more amusing. The little dude looks like he's busting this out in his sleep, while big sistah lets her hat hang low to deflect attention from herself. When you're in grade school, who has time for fame? Just chill...

Kanye West Shows PDA With Kim and Jay-Z Dances to B's Music at Big Cannes Premiere

Lauren Turner — Wed, 23 May 2012 16:49:35 PDT

Kanye West posed with a Balmain-clad Kim Kardashian at the Belvedere-sponsored premiere of his Cruel Summer in Cannes this evening. Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio's pal Lukas Haas were also on hand for the event, which was Kanye's first at the Cannes Film Festival. Kanye said of the production, "It's actually kind of surreal seeing the film come to fruition right here. I can dream one day that this will be the way that one day people will watch movies. I want to change what entertainment experiences are like."

Kim and Kanye spent the day together in the South of France and stuck by each other's side for tonight's bash as well. We spotted them showing serious PDA and kissing throughout the party. Jay-Z, meanwhile, snacked on sushi and bobbed his head when the DJ played Beyoncé's "Love on Top." Some of Jay-Z's own jams provided the soundtrack for the big night as well.

Jay-Z Hits the Town For a Launch Party With His Sister-in-Law

Allie Merriam — Thu, 10 May 2012 07:57:07 PDT

Jay-Z was the center of attention last night at the launch party for the new cognac, D'ussé, at the Top of the Standard. He went to the NYC hotel despite the big playoff game going down between the NY Knicks and the Miami Heat. That wasn't a problem for Jay-Z though - the Standard wheeled out a big screen so Jay could watch the action in his VIP area. Beyoncé Knowles didn't join her husband, but her little sister Solange was on hand along with Pharrell Williams and a bearded Jake Gyllenhaal, who politely declined being photographed when he arrived just before 10 p.m. Jay-Z was also treated to a soundtrack of his own greatest hits at the Standard, since DJ Jus-Ske played "Otis" and more for the crowd. Beyoncé and Jay-Z were together on Tuesday evening, when they attended a bash for mutual friend Erica Reid's new book.
