New Rocawear line.....Bella Roc

Rocawear clothing has a new sister line. Rocawear has announced the launch of Bella Roc, a limited-edition women’s line with items ranging from $125 to $4,000 wholesale. The brand will include crystals and metallic gold stitching on jeans, and will eventually add on a full line of women's sportswear and outerwear. The Bella Roc brand's launch comes briefly after Rocawear's custom fit men's collection, which launched during 2006's New York Fashion Week. Jay-Z's Rocawear brand, which has been under scrutiny lately, still has never seen such demand for pricier products. The clothing company seems to be cruising to new heights with the combined leadership of CMO Jameel Spencer, eFashion Solutions, and PepperJam management. Jay-Z wants to lock down the womens clothing market and very well may do so with this move if the line is up to par.
Bella Roc, will be a limited-edition clothing line targeting women in the 25- to 45-year-old range. Each Bella Roc garment will have expensive embellishments within the design. Bella Roc will not be taking its styling cues from the more hip-hop influenced Rocawear, also owned by Jay-Z. A specific launch date for the Bella Roc clothing brand has not been announced.

Jay Z. Slams new deal with Coca Cola

Jay-Z's push into the world of advertising and marketing continues, as his Rocawear company will help soft drink giant Coca-Cola relaunch its Cherry Coke line of soda.
According to industry trade publication Brand Week, Jay-Z will help design the can and the television commercials, in addition to appearing at the relaunch of the Cherry Coke brand on Feb. 7 during New York's Fashion Week.

"Besides just recording, he's making TV commercials and campaigns for brands . . .who is better than Coke?

Brandy.....Charges may follow

The California Highway Patrol recommended this morning that actress-singer Brandy be charged with vehicular manslaughter in a freeway crash that killed a woman last month.
The California Highway Patrol referred the matter to the city attorney's office for review.

The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail and a $1,000 fine, but Prosecutors couldn't say when they would make a decision about whether to bring a case. If charged, Brandy wouldn't necessarily have to appear in court and could have her lawyer enter a plea.
Brandy has publicly expressed condolences to the victim's family last week. Highway Patrol also has said Brandy wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.
Brandy, 27, was driving a Land Rover on Interstate 405 on Dec. 30 when traffic slowed and her vehicle struck the back of Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, 38.
Aboudihaj's car hit another vehicle, slid sideways into the center divider and was then hit by another car. Aboudihaj died at a hospital from blunt-force injuries, according to the coroner's office.
