Iman, Korto Momolu Celebrate Sam Fine DVD Launch

June 21, 2009

Legendary makeup artist Sam Fine has dolled up some of the world’s most beautiful women: Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and Vanessa Williams to name a few.

So when we heard that Fine was hosting a party at the Plaza Thursday night to celebrate his new “The Basics of Beauty” DVD, hosted by supermodel Iman (top photo, with Poison Ivy), we had to check it out.

And we were quick to learn we’re not Fine’s only fan!!

Taraji Henson, Wendy Williams, Deborah Cox, RuPaul and Project Runway season five runner-up Korto Momolu (bottom photo) were just a handful of big names in the room.

Momolu chatted with us for a minute about what she’s been up to, post-PR.

“I’m designing,” said Momolu, who sported an animal-print bag with a bullhorn handle. “You know me, with my African.”

Momolu’s line is set to debut this fall, she says, and if it’s anything like her bag, we cannot wait to see more!

In the meantime, you check out her fantastic jewelry collection for sale here.

Vanessa Williams Back in the Studio

March 20, 2009

Vanessa Williams, who’s become more known for her role as tyrant Wilhemina Slater on Ugly Betty than anything else these days, is back in the studio!

She’s getting ready to release her first record in four years: The Real Thing, which will meld jazz, salsa, pop and R&B, and be released June 2.

“I had been wanting to do a Latin-flavored album since I played a ballroom dancer in the movie Dance With Me,” says Williams.
Well u did it!
