Rihanna was seen wearing a Burberry Reef Knot Gabardine Trench Coat (approx. $3,358) from the spring 2010 collection, which is short and double breasted with shoulder epaulets, and knotted detailing at the bottom. She matched the trench coat with a nice pair of Spring/Summer 2010 Balmain Zip-up Boots ($1,838), which have a military design with a zipper on one side. (SEXY AS FXCK !!)

iPhone 4 ?!

An Apple employee left the next generation iPhone in a bar, someone found it, and now the good people at Gizmodo have given it the full inspection.

Click here for the video.

What's new

• Front-facing video chat camera

• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)

• Camera flash

• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)

• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.

• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack

• Split buttons for volume

• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What's changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound

• An aluminum border going completely around the outside

• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)

• Everything is more squared off

• 3 grams heavier

• 16% Larger battery

• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

Hollywood Sign Hotel Concept

As far as I know the original "Hollywood" sign isn't anything close to the size depicted here, but you've gotta love Danish architecture firm Bay Arch's concept of turning it into a mixed-use commercial complex. The chief draw would be a 300 room hotel in the facade, but the nine letters would also house a wellness center and spa, a nightclub and of course, a movie theater.

Air Jordan 2 White/Black-Varsity Red

While dates have changed and information has come and gone about the releases of these Air Jordan 2 retros, interest from readers has remained unwavering. Sure, these will be overlooked thanks to today’s “Silver Anniversary” release and other expected Summer retros, but the 2 remains a favorite silhouette to many. You’ll have to wait just over three weeks to get your hands on a pair, but overseas retailers have begun selling them now, giving us the detailed look we’re taking today.
The shoe itself owns simple lines and a relatively clean build. The white tumbled leather of the upper is complemented mostly by black, though the Varsity Red on the heel and outsole, as well as other points, works to complete the necessary Chicago Bulls-inspired look. The fact that these drop the week in between the “Lakers” AJ6s and White/University Blue 9s means you may get more than one chance to decide on them. Will they ultimately make it into your closet?

Available now through Nike stockists and online retailers.

Diddy Visits Lil Wayne In Prison

Hip Hop Mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs recently visited Lil Wayne at Rikers Island. According to multiple reports, Diddy stopped by to see Weezy on Wednesday (April 28th).
Rap mega-star Lil Wayne - locked up on a gun conviction - brought in at least one more bold-faced name this week: Diddy. The music mogul stopped by the Eric M. Taylor correctional facility to visit Lil Wayne on Wednesday. Diddy, born Sean Combs, even swapped his luxury wheels for the public bus like all the other visitors Wednesday. Diddy was on a pre-approved list to see Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., and the chat was limited to an hour, sources said. (New York Daily News)

Drake Talks Kanye West Produced Single

Drake recently talked about his new Kanye West-produced single "Find Your Love," saying it may have caught fans off guard and probably should have been sung by a girl. "I look for love in the wrong people," he said in an interview. "It just always seem like the women I find are poison for me. I love women that can just walk into a room and stop the whole area. And I think that those initial qualities always end up getting me hurt, which is a crazy thing for a guy to say...'Find Your Love' is an extremely vulnerable song. And it's actually a huge risk. It almost feels like the song should be performed by a woman. I'm just hoping that men really hear the song and they're honest with themselves. I know a lot of men feel that way."

The Roc Still In The Building: Dame Dash On Bringing Back Rocafella Starting Off With His New Artist Currensy!

It looks like Damon Dash isn't done with the Roc-A-Fella name or brand. Dash recently hooked up with rapper Currensy to try and sign him reportedly to a pressing and distribution deal with Def Jam through the Roc-A-Fella imprint, which Def Jam owns, "The name is mine, I’ll take the blame for that, " Dash says. “Def Jam or Universal bought the brand. I think the ‘beef’ [with us and Jay-Z] was that Jay made it clear he didn’t want me or Biggs to be a part of it. That’s really where it was at. Now that he doesn’t work for Def Jam anymore, he doesn’t have the right to use the name. So there’s no reason for us not to use it. It’s there, and it’s a brand that’s not being used. So I was like, I’ll take it. "It always meant something to me."
