• Ron Artest forgot to put on his clothes while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel. The NBA star was only wearing shorts during his almost naked interview on Late Night TV. We’re not complaining because Ron looked handsome wearing his birthday suit.  Ron did lose some points for sex  appeal after he revealed that he had Jimmy Kimmel’s name etched into his hair.  Ron joked and claimed he sacrificed his scalp to increase Jimmy’s “hood” appeal with the audience.  Look for Ron’s cameo as Toni Braxton’s rebound lover/ eye candy in the “So Yesterday” music video.  [ SF GATE]

• The Clipse launch tour and a new clothing line. Critically acclaimed hip-hop duo, Clipse, and DTLR announce their first retail partnership and the “DTLR Presents Clipse By Popular Demand” tour. This partnership represents the first retail merchandise collaboration with a music artist in the independent urban clothing chain’s 26-year history. At the core of the partnership is the “I’m Good” tee, which highlights Clipse’s hit single, “I’m Good,” featuring Pharrell Williams, from their upcoming release, “Til The Casket Drops,” available December 8. DTLR marketing, buying and creative teams worked with the Clipse and Sony (Columbia Records’ parent company) to develop a quality product for customers. “We’ve been approached by several companies in the past to place artist merchandise items in our stores, but the items never met our standard for fashion or quality. This time all members joined forces to create a product the urban fashion customer would enjoy,” says Shawn Caesar, president of Unruly Records, DTLR’s Marketing and Entertainment division.  Pusha of the Clipse reveals, “We designed this shirt just like we create our music, to give fans something they can rock with for a long time.” Mat Vlasic, The Thread Shop President of Merchandising, adds, “Thread Shop is thrilled to partner with DTLR and work with Clipse as the chain’s first music merchandiser. We believe this is just the beginning of a long relationship together.”In addition to the apparel partnership, DTLR and Sony have joined to offer fans “The Best of the Clipse” mixtape, mixed by DJ Jay Claxton and DJ QuickSilva, and opportunities to meet the Clipse at DTLR stores in markets during the “DTLR Presents Clipse By Popular Demand” tour. Fans can purchase the “I’m Good” tee in each tour stop and at Clipse performances (merchandise at performances limited to certain markets). ”Till The Casket Drops” will be available for purchase in DTLR markets after its December 8 release.
