Reverend Al Sharpton had fashion fever at Russell Simmons Argyleculture show Friday night at the Helen Mills Gallery. Well, I enjoy fashion much more now that I have lost weight and am much thinner than I used to be. I really like shorts and fitted sweaters, he said.

I can wear things now that I couldnt wear before, so fashion has become very important to me and plays a bigger role in my occupation, as well as my personal lifestyle.

50 Cent, who let his sexy lady friend, wearing a fitted white dress, take his front-row seat, was also on hand to support Simmons though he politely refused to discuss his recent appearance on ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handlers final episode of Chelsea Lately.

Oh, no! Youre not getting me with that one! said the rapper. Im happy. I am just here to support my man. But I am in good spirits. I just celebrated my 2-year-old son Sires birthday party. It was Ferrari-themed.

Also at the Argyleculture show was Simmon ever-present ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, who quickly delved into a discussion about how women are oversexualized.

No one needs or wants to see their little daughter twerking or dropping it like it is hot! explained Kimora. Theses females need to be more responsible! That is why [my daughters] Aoki and Ming Lee dont have TVs in their room. I really have to monitor what they watch.

And as for her daughters dating a rapper or an athlete once they turn 18? I wouldnt throw them out, stated Russell. Kimora would though. Sure would! said Kimora, before turning to Russell and saying, Oh yeah, one more thing. You need to put [my son] Kenzo in the show next year.

Al Sharpton: I enjoy fashion now that Ive lost weight

Longtime U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah continues to feel the heat in his hometown of Philadelphia, six days after a former top political adviser admitted in federal court last week to lying to conceal an illegal $1 million campaign loan.

Fattah was grilled Tuesday morning on the citys well-known black radio station, 900AM-WURD, by his onetime mayoral campaign spokesman, Solomon Jones, during the stations morning rush hour show. He refused to discuss any potential relation the case has to him. Fattah has not been charged in the case involving former adviser Gregory Naylor.

Rumors have also begun swirling already inside the city's political power construct about possible replacements to fill his congressional seat should he step down.

But apparently, the Rev. Al Sharpton and his news producers at MSNBC where Sharpton hosts a show called PoliticsNation are a few news cycles behind.

Fattah appeared Tuesday evening on Sharptons left-leaning program for a segment that examined President Barack Obamas efforts to raise the federal minimum wage.

During the nearly nine-minute discussion between Sharpton and Fattah, the congressmans current predicament didnt come up. Fattah has not responded to attempts by the Daily News and the Inquirer to speak about Naylors guilty plea in the political corruption case.

His spokeswoman told the Inquirer, Congressman Fattah is committed to his work on education, brain research, and jobs, all of which has helped and continues to help millions of Americans. He is committed to continue this work for the next ten years in Congress.

On Sharptons show, Fattah talked extensively about the minimum wage as a crucial issue in the upcoming November mid-term elections.
