Desperate Housewives Season 7 debuted tonight with Vanessa Williams joining the cast. We love it already after just one episode!

We cannot wait for all the delicious drama Vanessa Williams brings to the show : ). Did anyone else notice how hot Carlos looked?

The Burberry collection at London Fashion week had a bit of military/ futuristic edge to it. Loved the designs and details on jackets and the slight use of colour.

Lyfe Jennings Sentenced to 31/2 Yrs in Prison!
Lyfe Jennings has been sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison today in Atlanta. The sentence is a result of a dispute with his baby mama. According to MTV, 'the singer kicked down the door of a house in Smyrna, Georgia, in an attempt to find Joy Pound and later fired a gun outside. Smyrna police saw a red 2005 Corvette fleeing the scene, and Jennings was caught after a high-speed chase that ended when the singer smashed the vehicle. He refused a sobriety test. Jennings was handed misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass, discharging a firearm near a public highway and refusal to take a DUI test, in addition to two felony counts of attempting to elude an officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.'
