Jay-Z’s not getting much love today, after his clothing line Rocawear came out with a T-shirt using the ubiquitous Occupy Wall Street slogan for another message: Occupy All Streets. While the message of the T-shirt is similar to the original—and we’re thinking that he had good intentions in wanting to give the Occupy movement more attention—the T-shirt is rubbing people the wrong way.

Rocawear using OWS, a worldwide protest with many supporters and even more onlookers, is not necessarily the issue—and we’re not totally surprised that Jay (the businessman that he is) would try to profit from the protests. But the company has no plans to give any of the money made from the T-shirt to support the movement that it’s riffing. No matter what his intentions were, pocketing the profits without giving back is a controversial decision for the brand to make.

It’s hard to top a Gaga performance, let alone when she’s dressed in complete drag, but Beyoncé’s double baby rub/reveal at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards just about killed any mention of the Mother Monster and/or Jo Calderone for the rest of the evening, if not the entire day following.

For the first baby rub of the night, Bey dressed in a bright-orange, loose Lanvin one-shoulder dress. Easy, loose, baby rub approps. And then a glittering Dolce & Gabbana tux: glitter baby rub!

Beyoncé’s first two public preggo outfits hopefully signified that Bey isn’t quite ready to give up the couture. So, what designer duds are in her expanding future? Maybe now is the time to expand the House of Deréon and Rocawear with maternity lines.
