We recently caught up with designer Korto Momulu, while at the Sam Fine DVD launch party in New York City. Momulu, who had her own devoted fans ("You were my favorite," said attendees, one after another), gave us some insight to what's happening since the show. "I'm working as a guest designer for Dilliard's and my accessory line—jewelry and handbags—will be available in the fall, early winter." We couldn't be more excited and thrilled for the Liberian powerhouse.

Sam Fine's Night

Sam Fine's Night
Launch Party for Sam Fine Basics of Beauty DVD

 

It was a celebration of the man with the magic hands and the fact that he will enable you to be the same. On Thursday, June 18th, Sam Fine, celebrity makeup artist extraordinaire, threw a fete to celebrate the launch of his long-awaited how-to DVD: Sam Fine Basics of Beauty. Hosted by supermodel, Iman, it was held at the Warren-Tricomi Salon at the Plaza, where celebrities Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty), Wendy Williams (The Wendy Williams Show), R&B singer, Deborah Cox, Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson (in town shooting new movies), Project Runway finalist, Korto Momulu and the most famous Drag Queen of them all, RuPaul.

The party was A-list, featuring top celebrity hairstylists—Keith Campbell (Keri Hilson), Ursula Stephens (Rihanna), Tippi Shorter (Alicia Keys), Q (Iman, Kimora Lee Simmons)—and makeup artists, A.J. Crimson (LeToya Luckett and founder of Kissable Couture), Ashunta Sheriff (Alicia Keys) and more. But my personal favorite was reconnecting with Wouri Vice, fashion stylist for Alicia Keys, who sometimes works with Taraji, and was tons of fun. Co-sponsored by NUVO, guests sipped on special cocktails like the Iman Tonic, the Sam Fine Sparkling Sunset and the Fine Basic Beauty (Vodka on the rocks). Why a DVD? "Having dedicated my career to enhancing the beauty in women of color, I felt that an instructional DVD was a natural step toward my goal of educating women everywhere," says Fine. "Translating trends and finding products that deliver have helped me become more sensitive to "real" women who don't have the time, patience or know-how to experiement with makeup. The DVD, which will retail for $24.99, at Samfine.com. and on Amazon.com in early July, provides three makeovers on real women—all at different ages and with different makeup challenges. Fine offers tips for manipulating your makeup, ways to choose the right shades and makeup tools, answers the most pressing questions, more. To view a preview and to order, visit Samfine.com. Here's a look at who came out to show their support.

Michael's Death An Overdose?

News from TMZ

 

Updated news from TMZ.com:
We've learned law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson's home -- and the doctor is nowhere to be found. Law enforcement sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson's home last night.

Cops are looking to interview the doc.  A law enforcement source says the doctor gave Jackson an injection before he died. Jackson reportedly may have OD'd on Demerol. As we first reported, family members were concerned that Jackson was taking too much morphine. He received a shot at 11:30 a.m.
Members of Michael Jackson's family told us the singer was given a "heavy dose of morphine" prior to his death, and family members were alarmed.

We're told Joe Jackson recently wanted to put Michael in a rehab facility in Palmdale, California for what he considered an "addiction" to morphine and prescription drugs.

Family members say they felt he was unable to perform for his upcoming concerts because of his drug use.

Members of the upcoming tour tell TMZ Jackson was generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.

There are reports Jackson OD'd yesterday on Demerol, a drug similar to morphine.

Interestingly, Jackson wrote a song called "Morphine" in 1997. One of the lyrics -- "Demerol. Demerol. Oh God he's taking Demerol." A autopsy will occur today.
