RIP Whitney Houston!

With a talent so immense and a voice so unforgettable, young or old- Whitney is classic to all. Her legacy of the girl with the golden voice will always remain magical, despite the recent lows she's faced in the public eye and privately. At only 48 years old, today we mourn the loss of Whitey Houston! 

With causes unknown, it has been confirmed that the legend has passed away in Beverly Hills just hours before attending Clive Davis' pre-grammy party. 

How to even name a favorite song, it's just not possible! Below is a little something we'll be rocking to. Rest In Peace, Whitney- you will be missed.

What Does It Mean to Be "Black Latino"?

Mun2 gathered a few familiar faces to ask what 'Black Latino' is. Christinia Milian, Tatyana Ali and Soledad O'Brien (amongst various others) give some good tidbits.

Why don't dark-skinned latinas get cast as "Latina Women," What does it mean to be 'Latin' and when are you "Latin enough."And most importantly why need a title for the type of "Latino" you are, when we're all of color. Watch the video clip below!

Preview: Jason Wu for Target Entire Lookbook

Clean lines, delicate hints of floral and pops of brights all complete the "American Girl in Paris" inspiration Jason Wu had for the latest Target designer collaboration. I love the ease of the pieces in this line and the styling gives it a seamless look. I especially love the pleated skirt and tuxedo-esque looks! 

"The collection, which features dozens of flirty dresses, pastel prints and nipped waist silhouettes will hit stores on February 5th." See the entire line below!

For the usually private Hov, parenthood is already transforming the ways in which he makes music. A baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter acts as the latest muse.

Beyoncé + Jay-Z Welcome Baby Blue Ivy

Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcome their first child together and while we're anxiously awaiting images of their lil girl somewhere uber-glam (or on the cover of Fortune)- one question still remains. Why the name (confirmed by Gwyneth Paltrow via Twitter) Blue Ivy?

Sources have said that it can be an ode to the number 4 (IV), which is Bey's latest album title, wedding date (April 4th), and the couples birth dates (Bey on Sept. 4 and Jay on Dec. 4). Like mother, the baby's name now starts with "B" and it may also be a nod at the 'Blueprint' album by Hov. I guess we'll know for sure once they dole out those press exclusives.
