Crib Notes

Kenny Burns‘ upcoming documentary on himself looks fierce. The trailer for the doc, entitled B.U.R.N.S., offers a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Atlanta-based cultural connoisseur’s success, with clips featuring early collaborators Diddy, Dame Dash and Jay-Z. Dig it:

B.U.R.N.S means Be Ultimately Realistic & Never Sellout.

Far to many times I hear people idolizing or worshiping the “Entertainment Bizness”.
The crazy thing is half the time they don’t even know what they want from it, or better yet what it will TAKE FROM THEM!
B.U.R.N.S is the story of My Grind and hopefully will show YOU that YOU don’t have to be somebody’s slave to make it in the Entertainment Business (or The World). I NEVER WALKED TO BROOKLYN FOR CHEESECAKE!

As of late, he’s also added Huffington Post blogger to his long list of credentials.

“Some of y’all ain’t put on a suit since [my] last court date. So I really do appreciate you going through the trouble.”

With those words of thanks, T.I. kicked off his red carpeted, black-tie birthday celebration at Atlanta’s Biltmore Saturday night. It doubled as an album release party for Paper Trail — perhaps the year’s most anticipated album second to Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III. The invite-only guest list overflowed with Atlanta’s industry elite — all of whom put their own unique spin on the required black-tie wardrobe.

Kenny Burns (see photos) sported a shimmery gold Dolce & Gabbana blazer. “Project Runway” finalist Mychael Knight (see photos) posed with a client wearing his own custom designed dress. Former “America’s Top Model” contestant Toccara showed up in jeans and a black wifebeater.

At times, the scene turned surreal — imagine Amadeus meets American Gangster.
