Jay-Z Inks Chinese Expansion Deal for Rocawear
Mogul Jay-Z and partnering company Iconix China have secured an expansion deal to bring the Rocawear brand to the country of China.
The deal was finalized with Bosideng International Holdings, who will manufacture the brand’s Spring 2010 lines.
Additionally, the company has forecasted a timetable to break ground on over 300 Rocawear stores throughout Greater China by 2012.
As an original founder of Rocawear, Jay-Z stated that making the brand an international product was one of his main goals since selling the company’s rights to Iconix for $204 million.
"When Iconix purchased the Rocawear trademark two years ago, Neil Cole and I made a commitment to building Rocawear into a global lifestyle brand,” Jay explained in a prepared statement. “Our expansion into China is a validation of our joint efforts to bring an authentic interpretation of American fashion to young people around the world."
The deal is reported to be a 50-50 split venture with Iconix Brand Group and Novel Fashion Holding Limited.
Last year, the Rocawear brand remained strong despite the ailing U.S. economy, grossing sales of 18.3 million dollars in the third quarter alone.
EMINEM WAS MTV'S SECOND CHOICE TO BE PUNK LOL...GUESS WHO WAS THE FIRST TO BUTT FACED BY BRUNO
Bruno's big Punk'd moment: Eminem was MTV's second choice!
At Sunday's MTV Movie Awards in LA, viewers were shocked when Sacha Baron Cohen landed nearly butt-naked on rapper Eminem's face. A shocked Eminem then cursed and stormed out of the theater.
But an MTV insider has told Life & Style that producer Mark Burnett cleared the prank with the rapper beforehand. However, Eminem wasn't aware of exactly how naked Sacha would be when he agreed to do it!
A second insider also confirms that Eminem was actually Burnett's second choice. The first? Heiress Paris Hilton, who, luckily for her, declined to participate (probably because she was on a date with boyfriend Doug Reinhardt!). "Paris is quite happy she turned down the offer," the insider tells Life & Style.
RIHANNA THREATEN'S TO RELEASE CHRIS BROWN NUDE PICTURES ON DA NET
Rihanna plans to leak Chris Brown's nude pictures following her naked images which have been spread in Internet earlier this month. Although her allegedly abusive ex-boyfriend denied leaking the photos, the "Umbrella" songstress doesn't seem to ignore it and is threatening to reveal Chris' uncovered snaps in revenge.
"She says she's going to release her own photos of Chris. She has less-than-flattering nude pics of him that she plans on leaking. Rihanna says he'll be really embarrassed," Rihanna's pal said. The source informed that Rihanna sets this plan once after she has calmed down from the rage after the leak of her nude photos.
Not only pictures, Rihanna also reportedly plans to reveal Chris' sexual performance to make him ashamed. Rihanna is already telling friends that Chris was a clumsy novice at lovemaking until "she taught him everything he knows." The pal added, "She's going to ruin his sexy image."
Moreover, Rihanna is believed saying more scary threat as her early reaction when finding out her nude images plastered all over the Internet. "She was saying crazy things like, 'I'm going to burn down his house,'" a friend of the 21-year-old singer told the June 7 edition of Star magazine.
JIMMY HENDRIZ MURDERED!!!!
Jimi Hendrix's former roadie claims the guitar legend was murdered by his own manager - as part of a life insurance swindle.
James 'Tappy' Wright says Hendrix's manager Michael Jeffery confessed the crime to him a year later, during a drunken session at the roadie's house.
According to Wright - whose revelations feature in his upcoming tell-all tome Rock Roadie - Jeffery visited Hendrix at the London hotel he was staying at and plied him with pills and alcohol.
Jeffery had to make sure the death didn't look like a suicide otherwise the life insurance policy he'd taken out on Hendrix - which named him as the sole beneficiary of a $2million payout - would have been thrown into jeopardy, claims Wright.
Hendrix died in September 1970 after he'd choked on his own vomit.
The official cause of death was 'barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit' - but mystery has always surrounded the 27-year-old's tragic demise.
John Bannister, the surgeon who tried to revive Hendrix, admitted in 1992 that he was surprised at the lack of red wine - which the rocker had supposedly been drinking - in his bloodstream.
Jeffery died in a plane crash in 1973, two years after making his alleged confession to Wright.
THE END OF GM
CNN reports:
General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection early Monday, a move once viewed as unthinkable that became inevitable after years of losses and market share declines capped by a dramatic plunge in sales in recent months.
The bankruptcy is likely to lead to major changes and job cuts at the battered automaker. But President Obama and GM CEO Fritz Henderson both promised that a more viable GM will emerge from bankruptcy.
In the end, even $19.4 billion in federal help wasn't enough to keep the nation's largest automaker out of bankruptcy. The government will pour another $30 billion into GM to fund operations during its reorganization.
Taxpayers will end up with a 60% stake in GM, with the union, its creditors and federal and provincial governments in Canada owning the remainder of the company.
Owners of GM cars should see little change as a result of the bankruptcy since warranties will still be honored. But there will be plenty of pain caused by the bankruptcy and the company's efforts to stem losses.
GM will shed its Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer and Saab brands and cut loose more than 2,000 of its 6,000 U.S. dealerships by next year. That could result in more than 100,000 additional job losses if those dealerships are forced to close.
A dozen facilities were identified for closure. Those plants employ most of the more than 20,000 U.S. workers GM intends to cut by the end of next year.
Assembly lines at a plant in Pontiac, Mich., which make full-size pickup trucks, will be closed later this year. A Wilmington, Del.-based facility that makes roadsters for the Pontiac and Saturn brands will also close later this year.
Three parts distribution warehouses are set to close at the end of this year, while five engine plants and a stamping plant are due to close in 2010. An additional stamping plant is set to close in 2011.
Three more plants. including assembly lines in Spring Hill, Tenn., and Orion, Mich.,are set to be idled and put on stand by status in hopes for a rebound in sales that may never come.
