Amber Rose shares wedding details

Amber Rose and fiance Wiz Khalifa have had quite the year. Not only did they get engaged, but they also welcomed their first child, Sebastian Thomaz, back in February. With the baby growing, the couple has moved on to the next big step in their lives, planning a wedding. Though a wedding date has yet to be announced, Rose gave fans a glimpse of her wedding dress on her Twitter account May 30.

Rose shared a photo of the bottom of her gown, which boasted a mix of lace and tulle, with the caption, "Can u guess what dress I'm getting fitted for today? :-)"

Since getting fitted for a wedding dress is one of the last steps prior to actually saying "I do," many are speculating the date may be sooner rather than later. One thing's for sure, the happy couple, and especially Rose, is loving every minute of being a parent. 

"Being a Mom is such an amazing experience.... When u look at ur child & see urself in them. It's a whole new world," Rose wrote in another post. "Sebastian is so tall already. He's 2 1/2 months old and he fits in 6-12 month clothes... guess he's gonna be 6'4 like his dad."

BET reports Rose has also been sharing plenty of candid snapshots of Sebastian with various family members on her Instagram page. 

When do you think the happy couple will tie the knot?

Beats by Dr. Dre adds new prints

Fans of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones might assume the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," might ring true for the brand that boasts famous clients like Tom Brady, LeBron James and Chris Paul. However, similar to when he makes music, Dre likes to keep things fresh. Case in point? The latest addition to come out of the Beats family pairs style with sound.

Freshness magazine reports the headphone brand has announced that for a slight cost increase, Beats can have a unique reptilian design added on to the sides of the headphones to help enthusiasts stand out from other Beats users. The fresh look made by ColorWare is designed to be textured, rather than just look like snake skin, so users will feel every bump and groove on their new headphones. 

More interested in picking up the Beats Pill wireless speaker than headphones? No problem, ColorWare is offering the snakeskin application for other Beats products as well

Are you interested in adding snakeskin to any of your music playing products? Do you like this print or would you prefer something else, such a leopard or zebra?

XBox One impresses with new features

Like most electronics, gaming consoles continue to evolve and expand, in many cases for the better. One of the most anticipated releases of the year, the Xbox One, has left gaming lovers excited and ready to use the major updates provided by Microsoft. Though the gaming unit won't actually be released to the public until after the E3 trade show in June, some lucky fans recently got to test the product out, according to Freshness magazine. 

Microsoft showed off its latest baby during a special presentation May 21 at its Redmond, Wash., headquarters and those in attendance likely noticed its simple, throwback box style. The large and wide console must be placed horizontally to work, so fans looking to purchase the latest Xbox will need to start making room for this bad boy now. On the same note, the latest in the Xbox family will not be compatible with older game models, so buying all-new versions of old favorites could deter an interested shopper. 

Despite its drawbacks, the Xbox One does come with some exciting upgrades, CNET U.K. reports. The gaming console boasts 8GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, a Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0 ports, Wi-Fi connectivity and even a personality - with a voice command feature similar to Apple's Siri and Google Now. More good news? Xbox One players can "hand over" the controls to a friend (who does not need to be at the gamer's house) to help him or her get through tough areas in any game. 

Are you into the hype surrounding the Xbox One? Are you interested in buying one or are you holding out for the new PlayStation?

Neon lives with Nike LeBron X PS Elite release

Leave it to LeBron James to come out with a pair of kicks so bold and brilliant people will literally be able to start a party with their shoes. Fans hoping to get their hands on the Nike LeBron X Elite will need to stay up late Friday night since they'll be released at midnight. Not only are these sneakers ahead of their time in terms of technology, but the bright and out-of-this-world colors are perfect for summer. 

According to Sole Collector it's hard to decide if the sneakers are futuristic or a play on old school '80s fashion. Perhaps they're a perfect marriage of the two, thanks to the turquoise, neon yellow/green and violet colorway. The vibrant and almost radioactive-looking sneakers are made of a turquoise body with neon green/yellow laces, soles and Nike "swoosh" signs on either side. Add in a band of violet and speckled carbon fiber paneling and you've got the LeBron X Elite. 

Fans of James likely saw these kicks in action when he wore the hard to miss sneakers during the Heat's April series against the Boston Celtics, Sneaker News reports. Fans can get their hands on these conversation pieces for a cool $260 by visiting Jimmy Jazz locations or JimmyJazz.com.

Are you a fan of these bold and beautiful sneakers? Will you be dropping the big bucks to score a pair?

Reebok Answer DMX 10 are back

When it comes to re-releases, Nike tends to be king, but it seems as if Reebok is ready to get in on the action. The famous brand is set to release the Answer DMX 10 kicks from the vault May 23 at midnight. According to Hypebeast, the sneakers were originally created in 1997 as the signature sneaker of famed basketball star Allen Iverson following his rookie year. 

Not only do the kicks represent Iverson's all-star season, it also pays homage to the nickname bestowed upon him in the same year - the Answer. With such a high-profile sneaker, it's no surprise Reebok pulled out all the stops to ensure fans rocking these shoes got the top-of-the-line technology made available back in the late '90s. 

Such updates included the DMX 10 moving air technology as well as the first ever "I3" logo. KicksonCourt reports the sneakers boast a mostly black leather colorway with pops of gold on the logo and the tongue. Fans might also enjoy the retro vibes of the thicker heel and the classic Reebok sign on the side of the kicks. Those interested in picking up the Answer DMX 10s can check out Jimmy Jazz stores or JimmyJazz.com at midnight. The kicks are set to sell for $150.

Supra sneakers are coming

Skateboarding has become more mainstream and popular throughout both urban and suburban regions around the nation. Because of this, select Jimmy Jazz locations will soon be catering to the needs of its clients by offering kicks from the Supra Footwear Collection. Casual Lifestyle reports the brand was created by Angel Cabada, a skateboarder from Orange County, Calif. After working a string of dead-end jobs, Cabada decided to start his own clothing brand, TSA.

The company remained popular for about 10 years before Cabada decided to part ways with his business partner. In 2002 the now-savvy businessman opted to start his next line, KR3W, with the help of One Distribution, which solely focused on clothing. He then branched out on his own to create Supra Footwear, a name that means "above and beyond" in Latin, the news outlet reports. 

Over the years, Supra Footwear has continued to evolve, and now the company sponsors a slew of professional skateboarders. According to Supra's official website, the brand sponsors Chad Muska, Lucien Clarke, Stevie Williams, Neen Williams and Kevin Romar among others. 

Are you excited to score Supra Footwear kicks?

Jay-Z knows how to play

Some fans might have thought Jay-Z would struggle to find his groove as a sports agent, but his latest move might have even the most critical haters out there changing their tune. Taking a note from other famed agents, Jay opted to show college basketball star Skylar Diggins, a recent Notre Dame graduate, he wants her on his team.

BET reports Hov surprised the graduate with a brand new Mercedes-Benz to congratulate her on her accomplishment and getting picked in the draft. Diggins was selected third overall at the 2013 WNBA draft pick and she signed to Jay's Roc Nation Sports agency in April. Diggins signed with the Tulsa Shock and was just that - shocked - by her expensive gift from Jay. 

"I got 99 problems, but a Benz ain't one," Diggins posted on her Instagram and Twitter accounts along with a photo of her new ride. 

Jay seems to be showing the love to women athletes and agents, as Forbes reports the business savvy rapper recently hired Kimberly Ann Miale from Boston, Ma., as a contract advisor for Roc Nation Sports. Miale was brought on board to help represent any football players Jay's new company scores. 

Do you think Jay is doing well as an agent? Are you surprised by the gift he got Diggins?

Barkley makes a comeback

Charles Barkley was a force on the court, though fans of today most likely tune in for his outrageous sports commentary on NBC. Despite his popularity off the court, some sneaker enthusiasts might be thrilled to learn his wild kicks from his time with the Phoenix Suns, the Nike Barkley Posite Max, will be released May 18. 

According to Kicks On Fire, the latest in the Nike family is full of life and color, just like Barkley himself. The sneakers boast an almost entirely purple colorway with fun silver crocodile print adding major flair to the bottom portion of the kicks. Sneakerheads are sure to look fly when they rock these shoes, as they also feature an orange midsole, Nike Swoosh symbols and pops of teal on the sole of the high-tops.

The colors work perfectly to pay homage to Barkley's time on the Suns team. Sole Collector reports the scaly texture of the sneakers also plays on Barkley's personality - representing Barkley's Godzilla alter ego. Fans looking to add these kicks to their collection might also be pumped to learn the outsole glows in the dark. Those interested in purchasing the Nike Barkley Posite Max - Phoenix Suns can check out Jimmy Jazz stores or JimmyJazz.com.
