You Silly Wabbit it was the Wrong Wabbit!

In recent reports yesterday rapper Nelly and Universal Motown recording artist Ashanti called it "splitsville". The New York Daily News reported speculations that Nelly's new love interest is "Jessica Rabbit". Entwined in this case of mistaken identity between Lexi Chow PR & Co. client actress/model Melyssa Ford and Jessica Rabbit which lead readers and bloggers to aimlessly assume it was Melyssa Ford. Which led to numerous false reports. Ms. Ford hasn't been referred to as her former nickname in years.

"My relationship with Nelly is strictly professional. As the former spokesmodel for Apple Bottoms, our interaction was amicable but limited to work I have not seen or spoken to Nelly in 2 years so the person they are referring to in the media as "Jessica Rabbit" is not me." states Ms. Ford. She goes on to further say "We shot an Apple Bottom campaign in 2006 in Miami and we taped the Black Poker Stars International Show on BET in Vegas in November 2007."

The case of the mistaken "Wabbit" has now been solved. Cased Closed!

PS. If you read the NY Daily News carefully it says both reps declined, obviously it wasn't my client because they never contact me.

It has come across my desk via blackberry that there are several other Jessica Rabbits, but an insider sent me this and this is the confirmed Jessica Rabbit in news reports.... sorry ladies...

Melyssa Ford over the years has shape shifted herself by not sitting around and waiting for a casting director but has intricately maneuvered her way onto the big screen. With movie roles coming out like Days of Wrath and a reality series in the works. There is no limit to what she can accomplish!

An array of high quality black diamonds all accessed from the world's most exclusive diamond mines. Specialty trend pieces include: rosaries, watches, bracelets and cocktail rings.

In addition to their personal jewelry line, Rafaello is the exclusive dealer for Avenir Chrono which homes a limited special edition men's watch entitled the "Boss Premier," recently worn by platinum-selling Def Jam recording artist, Rick Ross, in his music video "All I Really Want Is You."

Rafaello was founded by Rafael Aranbayev, his two sons Avi and Eric Aranbayev and nephew Gabriel "The Jeweler" Jacobs.

Rosaries are not just for Catholics anymore.

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:31:00 +0000

I absolutely love watches and diamond studs, but for the past few months I have been intrigued by rosaries. Rosaries aren't just made of silver or 14k anymore, but apparently you can find them in high end accessory boutiques made of cool stones in various colors and lengths. So I went window shopping in the streets of NY for quality rosaries and found a few that looked pretty cheap and mediocre quality. After a few weeks I stopped looking and later retained a new client who just so happened to be a jeweler, Rafaello & Co. Jewelers. Owner, Gabriel Jacobs and Avi Aranbayev hit it on the nose with the Blackout Collection and rightfully deserves the title of "Blackout Kings"! Lo and behold in an encased glassbox lay my diamond rosary, one in black diamond and the other in white. See what the all the rave is about and take a peek at the new Avenir Chrono most recently worn by Rick Ross in the video, "All I Really Want Is You". www.twitter.com/rafaelloandco and www.rafaelloandcompany.com

Style Watch: Lenny S.

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 03:57:00 +0000

Some executives in the music industry come off as rough and unpolished men reflective of the dust on their desks. But Lenny S. the VP of Def Jam just anted the game for all you men in the industry! Lenny S. was in attendance for The Dream album's release that recently past at Hiro Ballroom. It was a black tie affair and he exemplified the meaning of "Black Tie'! He paid close attention to detail from the crisp white blazer, slacks, handkerchief and a rose on his lapel! Come on, it doesn't get any swaggalious than this!!! The "S" in Lenny S. must stand for "Swag" because The CNC Agency (Lexi Chow PR and Pink Diamond) gives him a "10" for style!!! If your not up on Gee-Swag take some notes from Lenny S.!

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:45:00 +0000

I have been so overwhelmed with my workload, especially with the new joint venture with Pink Diamond Management. I had a wonderful birthday this year everybody came to support me... Thanks to everyone at Universal, Interscope, Ciroq, Bad Boy, Hollywood Chuck and several of my very important friends who make up this entertainment industry! In the midst of all this work I was able to find time for me as I promised myself as a New Years Resolution. Daniella and I have officially gotten our business dealings on paper and everything will be official in the next several weeks, and we will become the dynamic duo of The CNC Agency. I finally put myself out there to start to dating again! So scary letting people into your personal world?! On a more personal family related note with my mother, I told her how I really felt about her. Let us just say we don't have the best relationship in the world. I feel much better within myself and maybe I struck a few nerves this weekend by "putting it on the line"! I encourage everyone to talk their peace, whether it be on a business level or a personal level. Now thats what I call a years worth of "Putting it on the Line" in a weekend!

Trouble in Paradise: Chris Brown and Rihanna

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:28:00 +0000

I dont know but us island girls can take a licking but beware we sure will throw a boiling pot of water on ya! Allegedly C-Breezy assaulted Rihanna after leaving the Clive Davis' Pre Grammy Party. Nowadays I wouldn't put it past anyone!

Los Angeles police say Chris Brown has turned himself in to authorities investigating an alleged felony battery involving the R&B singer.

Los Angeles police officer Karen Smith says Brown walked into a station around 7 p.m. and was being interviewed by detectives. Smith said he was not in custody.

Police say the 19-year-old singer and a woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park neighborhood early Sunday when they began arguing, and the argument escalated when they got out of the car. Police say the woman identified Brown as her attacker, but he was gone by the time officers arrived.

Both Brown and his girlfriend, fellow singer Rihanna, were no-shows for Sunday night's Grammy Awards. Both were nominated and scheduled to perform.

LET YA SOOOUL GLOWW!

Just Another One of Them Thangs!

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:41:00 +0000

I haven't updated my blog in a minute, just because I haven't been inspired visually or mentally by anything or anyone in particular. I have been working hard with my newly signed clients and newly formed company with Daniella Cobb, we had a little snag in the original name we chose "The Collective Nova", there seemed to be a distinct conflict of interest with another PR and Marketing firm with the similar name, therefore we both felt compelled it wouldn't be ethical to keep the same name. We had to go back to the drawing board, which discouraged me a bit. Nevertheless, we came up with a clever name that complimented the two of us "The CNC Agency" the "N" would be spelled backwards to give it our rebellious flair! The CNC stands for Cobb and Chow! As we have moved forward on paper with our newly formed entity we have obtained two new clients, Yves Nunez who is a fitness model and a seafood wholesale distributor with several warehouses throughout the United States, I'm not at liberty to start blasting the company's name yet, but all in due time.

I have become a novice on Facebook and Twitter now! I got several of my friends on Twitter, it has become a bit outta of control, I had to unfollow several people, because they dont have much to say and you constantly see a ga-zillion twits of random ass thoughts. Facebook is a bit crazy too, I wont accept your friend request unless I know you personally or it makes sense. I have over 5,ooo friends on Myspace and I now about 20% of them personally. If you would like to follow me on Twitter by all means www.twitter.com/lexichow .

On a more personal level, the beginning of the year was a little strange. I have been in the gym 4 to 5 days a week. Several of my male associates told me the arms looks great but they are becoming a bit muscular, I think they are jealous because I have a lil bump in my arm! I have crushed a few hearts and an ego or two along the way but I couldn't help it! No, I haven't met any prospective dates yet. I am just going to be anti-Valentine's so do not send me any Myspace comments with a generic html flashes of hearts with cupid shooting his arrow, because if I saw cupid I would take my heels off and throw it at the little fat shit! I am a hater, don't go prancing around me with your little girlfriends or boyfriends ranting about chocolates and diamonds. So I am officially anti-V day but never anti V for Vendetta, such a great movie and a classic in my library.

I'm lying, I did have one date since this year it was pretty cool. I've made up several excuses in the interim to not see him again, I am sort of on the fence with this one. I am just sick of getting to know people... its quite tiresome. Dont get me wrong the dude is quite the catch, too much of a "quite the catch". Therefore I say get to know me and Ill get to know you later, that doesn't make any sense, why can't I have my assistant interview prospective dates for me? That would make the whole process a lot more easier. I would have Friday afternoon briefings, "So how did cutie with the light eyes do? Well, Lex, he was quite boring, he is doing quite a few things, meaning he doesnt have a real job and he is in between relationships, meaning he has a girlfriend." Why cant it be that easy! UGH!

Let's cross our fingers its still early in the year and I have a lot of ground to cover with The CNC Agency and our many endeavors. As for my dateless in the city charades, I think I can afford a few more dinners as Solo in The City. Signing off!

Come Correct or Dont Come at All!

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:14:00 +0000

As a publicist I come across crap in my inbox daily, but what really gets me off of my rocker are messages from myspace users. I must say they have a great pitch to get me to come out to the club and how they try to lure me in with their table tactics. Mind you their table is reserved for them (the promoter) and a bunch of tableless skanks. I am truly urked by the audacity that a promoter would even approach me with this mindless notion. I am not putting my foot in my mouth but I dont need a 21 year old promising me the never never land of crammed space at their groupie table! I hold myself at a very high regard in this game and so should anyone else requesting my presence! No, I am not kidding, I am dead ass serious!

Let us Dissect what went terribly wrong!

Heres a Tip: The next time a promoter wants me at his party dont address me as some sort of "arm candy". I dont do "arm candy"...how about a table for myself and my entourage with two bottles of Grey and all the mixers!

With a New Year Comes the Essence of Life.

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:26:00 +0000

Just about 2 weeks before the end of the year it is only natural that we start thinking out loud or quietly about our New Years Resolutions. Why does it take a new year to make people change? Shouldn't change come gradually? I am now guilty of being one of those people. It is now several days away from the new year and I have been contemplating what changes need to be made with me personally and business wise. I love self growth and I think personally I could be a lot more concerned and a better listener with loved ones in my life than just my own issues. Last year I deaded my love life for the sake of business. Has it been fulfilling, somewhat, it had its up's and down's. Yes, it was all worth it. I do have my laptop which is my trusty companion but he does consume the majority of my time! LOL.

I have been so consumed by work this year I really never sat back and took care of Lexi. Sure I did the regular beauty regime, but I never really sat back and took stock of the things that made me happy; the beauty of people on a whole, personal writing and most of all my family and loved ones. I never personally encountered being "lonely at the top" of my game until this year. Lonely doesn't mean the absence of a man or woman but the essence of life! I forgot the Essence of Life; how beautiful it is to hear a loved ones voice on the other end of the phone or the sound of another person in your ear and not a black and white screen that chirps at you. I have become so indulged in technology I just forgot the Essence of Life.

I also heard from the grapevine I'm flaky with my personal friends. I guess I will have to change that and drop a line here and there. Not that I don't like my friends or grown apart, I just hated talking on the phone because I talk everyday with editors, other publicist, venues, managers, etc. on an hourly or daily basis, I lost my voice. (lol). The industry consumed me but it helped me become a great publicist and to love what I do. This is me, this is my career, so with a new year comes some changes for the a better Lexi Chow thus Lexi Chow PR & Company and a newly formed company -The CNC Agency (Lexi Chow and Daniella Cobb).

My new years resolution:

Saying no to unproductive situations! (personal and business)
Not pleasing everyone!
Taking personal time out for myself, the world can wait!
Working out everyday thus personal time!
Eating more healthier, no more Crown Fried Chicken, maybe twice a year!
Eliminating unhealthy people around me...cleansing my aura!
Picking up the phone and calling someone!
No more whack dates!

Dear Santa

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 10:29:00 +0000

Dear Santa,

Hope all is well! I have been a very good girl this year, so far I haven't blacklisted anyone nor have I damaged anyones career to be facetious.

I have been nawty in other departments but those dont count for the list so no need to check the list twice, you already knoooow! I have broken several hearts and stomped on them but it really wasnt my fault they probably drove me to be mean to them. I did turn away a few married ones, so bad they deserve coals! See Santa I was a good but nawty for being mean!

I also tried not to bitchslap several females this year and bad ass children in the streets of Brooklyn especially those on Nostrand Avenue that say perverted things to me, but thats the price I pay for looking good I guess! I dont know?

Well I dont want much this year but I could do with a great big office space to house The Collective Nova, PDM and LCPR! Also could we get all utilites included in that? This Christmas I just want all new things for the business! We are looking for an office space that can house two boss bitches, interns and associate publicists. A kitchen in this office would be great so we can bake cookies and have fresh lemonade on hand for our clients as we do now with our smaller office.

I could personally use a new IPOD or better yet an I Touch... I also would like a new set of spring heels because I do so many events and socials I just dont want to repeat!

Well Ill make sure I bake a bunch of cookies and leave it for ya by the Christmas tree and I will expect the keys to a fabulous office space overlooking midtown and several pairs of new shoes!

WINTER IS NOT FOR SINGLE PEOPLE!

noreply@blogger.com (Lexi Chow PR & Company) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 10:10:00 +0000

I can be a hater of ones in a relationship or those that have "boo's" they can call up at 8pm to roll through the crib for extra warmth. Its confusingly cold in New York and no I havent found a special somebody I want to cuddle up with some hot cocoa. Not because I cant find; the people I know arent by far the ones I wanna be wrapped up with for the weekend. La La La Loosers as my dear friend Lila Nikole Rivera says! So far the laptop has only been my comfort and a batch of oven baked cookies! So to all that have to hell with you! BAH HUMBUG for the holidays!
