STYLE WATCH: Nike's Fall 2013 Lookbook



Take an early look at the Nike Women's 2013 Fall lookbook. As they transition into the world of style and fashion, Nike uses the lookbook as an opportunity to promote athletic wear for the upcoming season.  Although Nike stays true to its athletic roots, you'll notice that many of these clothes could serve as daily wear too, especially if you live an on-the-go lifestyle.

Nike stays on trend by incorporating patterned tights and neon colors in the line. Athletes are photoed in dynamic poses, illustrating the athletic versatility of the line.

With clothes this cute we may be motivated to go to the gym a little more often!

What do you think of the styles? Would you wear any of this gear during your workout? 

NEW VIDEO: De La Soul - Get Away



Rap group De La Soul has released the single "Get Away" off their upcoming album You're Welcome. This is their first single since 2004's Grind Date.



The song has a simple, old school feel to it that forces the listener to pay attention to the lyrics. With lines like "I don't do it for the party, I do it for the body" it's easy to remember why De La has always been  a well-respected hip-hop favorite.

A release date for the album has not been set.

Are you feeling this track?

What You Need to Know About the XBox One


Earlier this week Microsoft revealed the details about XBox One, the newest operating system from the XBox line. This console will replace the XBox 360 which has not been updated for about eight years.

Here are the most notable updates: 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB on the hard drive,  multiple apps at once, split screens, and voice recognition.

All of that to say you can make vocal commands on your XBox One and will be able to use Skype while you watch TV/DVR. This upgrade will also lead to several other program improvements, such as new programming options with NFL games and EA Sports (NBA Life, Fifa, etc). XBox Kinect has also developed a 1080 angle camera that can monitor your heart rate during workouts.

Watch the reveal video to learn more about its capabilities:


Visually, the XBox One does not appear much sleeker than its predecessor. It actually may be bulkier in appearance. However, the console itself is doubled in power so if you don't mind having an OS that looks like a VCR (remember those?) then you're good to go.

The biggest drawback: XBox One will not be backwards compatible, meaning that all of your materials from older generations will not work on this one! This would be an expensive upgrade for all the techies out there.

A release date has not yet been set and Microsoft has not shared a potential price range either.

Hmm...this product sounds good but there could be some major issues with all of the new bells and whistles. Too much all at once?

LHHNY Cast Walks Off Set, Refuses to Film!



During a recent filming, half of the LHHNY cast walked off set due to contractual differences.

Production has already begun for the next season of Love and Hip Hop New York and all of the cast was called to show up for promotional filming. However, contract negotiations hadn't been met and half of the cast skipped the filming in protest.

For most of the cast the LHHNY contracts are seasonal, so they have to edit and make revisions before each new season. The production company failed to update everyone's contracts but still wanted them to participate in filming...basically, the cast would've been working for free! No ma'am Pam!

Hopefully they're able to work the kinks out so everyone can be happy. Nobody works for free!
