Hot Shots: Celebs About Town (Nicki Minaj, Bill Cosby, Dwayne Wade & More)

Published: Tuesday 4th Apr 2017 by David

If you live in a major city you’ve probably encountered many a celebrity making their way through town on their way to work and play.

What happens if you don’t?

You come to the new TGJ feature ‘Celebs about Town’ which sees us churn out details about where your favourite people were the night before, and when and why they were there.

Waiting below?

Bill Cosby, Dwayne Wade, Billboard Hot 100 queen /Mariah Carey’s ‘Idol’ rival Nicki Minaj and Jordan Clarkson.

Last night saw Jordan Clarkson (right) step out in Los Angeles with his friend and collaborator Chris Stamp to flaunt their passion for men’s fashion with help from the airline Delta at ‘Beyond the Court.’

There, the athlete (who is said to pocket $12.5 million a year) caught up with LA Lakers’ loyalists to discuss his foray into couture at the Stampd store on South La Brea Avenue.

Unfamiliar with the rising star?

Hours earlier, in the same city, Nicki Minaj was snapped sporting this Herculean fit.

Where she landed after turning heads outside The Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills? That’s yet to be verified.

However, fans may have good reason to believe she was hard at work on scenes for a new visual after opting to scrap scenes she shot for her No Frauds’ effort in London.

Why?

A terror attack took place on the location of her shoot less than 24 hours after her departure and so, as not to offend the relatives of the deceased, pulled scenes shot in the spot out of the final edit.

We leave Los Angeles and head East to land in Pennsylvania.

There, at the Montgomery County Courthouse, the disgraced actor Bill Cosby arrived for a pretrial hearing surrounding his ongoing sexual assault scandal.

Smiling as he arrived, the performer (who is accused of drugging and defiling the bodies of several innocent women) stepped into court as he prepares to take on one of his alleged victims Andrea Costand in court in June.

Our last stop on today’s trip? New York.

In town to launch the DSquared2 x Dwayne Wade Capsule Collection was Mr. Wade himself.

Worth a reported $95 million, Wade celebrated the launch on the 7th floor of Saks Fifth Avenue alongside the identical twin duo Dan and Dean Caton who impressed the athlete when he attended one of their fashion shows in Milan.

Most shows are quick, they’re quiet, but the Catens had performances and it was exciting, so I went backstage and met them, and that sparked up this relationship. Every time they come to Miami we make sure we do lunch, and I invite them over to the house, and that’s how we came up with this collection. I said, ‘All of our names start with D, so I could be like the third brother, like D-Cubed, and that small idea turned into where we are today.
