<p>Well people it looks like shes back. Your Beyonce hunger can now be fed. Beyonce is covering the new issue of Marie Claire UK and frankly, we love her styling more than we&#8217;re glad she&#8217;s back. Boy that white blazer and necklace combo = pure heaven. Not to mention the black bow sleeveless top in the editorial (after the jump). Ahh.. the sweet smell of fashion. But whats better than fashion is fashon and Beyonce. So it looks like she&#8217;s back with an album releasing November 18. This is where the chicks start throwing handcuffs &#8220;cuz they knowing that their man ain&#8217;t safe&#8221;.</p>

<p>So this is <strong>Ciara</strong>&#8217;s new single from her third LP, &#8216;Fantasy Ride&#8217; and it features everyone&#8217;s favorite collaborator, <strong>T-Pain</strong>. I mean really, when is the hype going to slow down about this guy? All his work is starting to sound alike and this joints no different. While we love everything that is Ciara over here at Luxe, we just can&#8217;t seem to get into this one. Although we&#8217;re sure by the twentieth play we&#8217;ll be singing along to <strong>&#8216;Go Girl&#8217;</strong>. Ugh. Anyways, you be the judge on this one.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Its Album Tuesday and this week, we say cut the crap and go out and purchase our good friend Solange&#8217;s sophomore LP, Sol-AngeL &amp; the Hadley Street Dreams. The album is an interesting mesh of oldie melodies, futuristic electronica inspired elements and genius lyrics all with a Motown vibe and we LOVE IT. Solange has really stood on her own two feet with this project. Its reminiscent of a female Gnarls Barkley and frankly, that&#8217;s a good thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Stand out tracks include: <strong>T.O.N.Y, Sandcastle Disco, Would&#8217;ve Been the One,</strong> and <strong>Cosmic Journey feat. Bilal</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom: 10px; " src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/tonyajuanise/art_obama_biden_gi.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="219" />Yesterday Barack Obama announced that Delaware Senator Joe Biden would be his running mate as Vice President of the United States. While many Obama supporters feel he made the right choice, there is a lot of criticism coming from the Hillary supporters as well as democrats in general who believe that Joe Bidden was not the perfect choice for the VP slot.  Biden has also been put under the spotlight for making remarks about Obama&#8217;s qualifications as a president back in 2007. The media has been eating it up like candy because it sort of makes Biden look like a hypocrite since he did accept the position as VP from Obama. I honestly think that when you&#8217;re in a race &amp; you&#8217;re running against the other candidates, of course you will say whatever you feel is neccesary about your opponents in order to win. However I am human &amp; still a bit skeptical because when I watched the remarks Biden made about Obama last year on FOX I thought to myself he did a complete 180 and has a different mind set now. All in all it looks as though the two have come together which is what really matters in the end, Biden must believe in Obama &amp; feels he is able to work hard to bring change to America or he simply would have refused the offer. I also think it&#8217;s absurd that Hillary supporters are still complaining about Hillary not being on the ticket. Obama has the right to choose whoever he feels is right for the job &amp; if he felt Biden is that person then so be it. We all just need to come together as democrats so that McCain will not win the White House in November. I honestly think the guy is crazy!! I would NOT feel comfortable with him making decisions for this country at all especially when it comes to the war in Iraq or facing any other obstacles with any enemies overseas.  He does not seem like the kind of guy who would make good judgements for the better of this country and he is NOT in touch with the middle class working families let alone the poor &amp; he frankly doesn&#8217;t care. NO matter what he says we all know the deal. But hey, hillary supporters will sacrifice not only their future but their kids future just because they didn&#8217;t get their way. So sad. What do you guys think about all of this? Do you feel that Obama made the right choice? Speak on it.</p>
<p><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/tonyajuanise/t1wide_denver2_gi.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="253" /></p>
<p>The Democratic Convention is under way as we speak and will officially kick off tomorrow ending on August 28. Bill Clinton along with his wife Senator Hillary Clinton are both expected to give speeches at the convention. Hillary will be asking her delegates to support Obama as well as asking for her supporters to jump onboard. For any political junkie this has got to be the most exciting &amp; interesting moment in politics history. As we have our first African American male accepting the presidential nomination from the Democrats as well as all the controversy surrounding the split democrat party &amp; their struggle to unite before November. It can&#8217;t get any better than this right? Keep it locked to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/" target="_blank">CNN</a> for all of the updates concerning the Convention and don&#8217;t forget to tune in for Obama&#8217;s acceptance speech on Thursday night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/tonyajuanise/1558__mg_235720choc20hearts20400.jpg" alt="" width="401" height="400" />Relationships &amp; love can be a beautiful thing but the two combined can also be very stressful when it comes to finding the right mate. After facing numerous attempts and disappointments we often find it very hard to think positive and continue on. Discouraging thoughts leave us wondering if we will ever find the right guy to settle down with in the end.  While the feeling of defeat can overwhelm us, we never actually sit down and think about what we really want when it comes to a relationship. Do any deciding factors come to mind? Or are we just settling for less because we&#8217;re tired of being the only single person out of the bunch when it comes to our girlfriends? Well consider yourself lucky if you found  yourself answering yes to that last question. LuxeRepublic has gathered together five helpful tips courtesy of<a href="http://www.essence.com/essence/bodyandsoul/relationships/0,16109,1822904,00.html" target="_blank"> Essence </a>magazine to help soothe your relationship woos. Read it, let it soak in, and then re-evaluate those problem areas so that you&#8217;ll be successful in finding love the next time around. Good luck and go get em ladies!</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #e71034; font-size: x-small;">1. Create a new blueprint</span></strong><br />
&#8220;Stop focusing on what you don&#8217;t want in relationships,&#8221; says life coach Valorie Burton, &#8220;and reframe the issue: What is healthy and acceptable to me? What are my nonnegotiables? At the top of the list should be respect—in both romance and friendships.&#8221;</p>
<p>Read more tips after the jump!</p>
<p><span id="more-394"></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #e71034; font-size: x-small;">2. Handle yourself with kindness</span></strong><br />
Therapist and radio host Audrey Chapman, Ph.D., likens the compulsive patterns of PTRD to long-term addiction such as alcoholism. &#8220;Once you stop drinking,&#8221; she says, &#8220;you don&#8217;t necessarily get rid of the tendency or desire to drink. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important to seek help. You develop new tools to manage the desire. But you have to be patient with yourself because the healing can take years.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #e71034; font-size: x-small;">3. Challenge your hidden assumptions</span></strong><br />
&#8220;What is your self-talk?&#8221; asks psychologist Michelle Callahan, Ph.D. &#8220;Do you believe deep down that no man would want you? We carry so much guilt and shame about what we&#8217;ve been through that we start to tell ourselves things like, I&#8217;ll take what I can get.&#8221; Once you identify the hidden beliefs that govern your behavior, you can replace those thoughts with ones that serve you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #e71034; font-size: x-small;">4. Cut the new man some slack</span></strong><br />
Avoid dire conclusions and gross generalizations—such as &#8220;all men are dogs.&#8221; Remember, some dating problems are plain old signal misses. When a man doesn&#8217;t call, for instance, his disappearance isn&#8217;t necessarily a sign of disinterest, says Ronn Elmore, Psy. D., therapist, minister and author of No-Nonsense Dating (Harvest House). &#8220;Let him be the one to find his way back,&#8221; suggests Elmore. What he does next determines the level of his interest. If he plans a day with you or cooks you a five-course meal, you know he&#8217;s feeling you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #e71034; font-size: x-small;">5. Find your own cheering section</span></strong><br />
When you feel panicked or scared, girlfriends and platonic male friends can remind you of how unique and wonderful you are and what you have to offer in a relationship, says Elmore. A pastor or professional counselor can also help you sort out your patterns and encourage you as you create new ones.</p>
<p>What are some of the lessons <strong>you</strong> have learned while in love?</p>

<p>That&#8217;s right you&#8217;ve read correct! It looks like another boy was welcomed into the rockstar family. Gwen Steffani gave birth to her second son named Zuma Nesta Rock, an 8.5 lb. baby boy at 12:46 P.M. on Thursday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center according to <a href="http://www.okmagazine.com/news/view/7705" target="_blank">Ok! Magazine</a>. The singer&#8217;s rep confirms that the mother, baby, and family are all doing well. Gwen and her husband Gavin Rossdale are already parents to Kingston 2, and Zuma will be the couples second child but a third for Gavin, as he has a 19-year-old daughter named Daisy from a previous relationship.</p>
<p>I was hoping that Gwen would pop out a girl this time around only because I knew she would be an adorable <strong>fashionista</strong> like her mother.  Too bad! Anyway congrats to the couple!</p>
