Renaissance Kicks Off Its RLife LIVE Program With Robin Thicke In New York

Where: Two Times Square [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036

First they teamed up with Blue Ribbon Restaurant Group to bring guests some of the most delicious fried chicken on the planet. Now, Renaissance Hotels are attracting celebs and musos, like Robin Thicke, Minka Kelly, Solange Knowles, and Kourtney Kardashian with her plus one.

These folks were all at the Renaissance New York Times Square last night but being skinny celebs all, we're pretty sure they weren't there for the fried chicken. Nope, they were helping Renaissance launch its new RLife Live program, a series of curated events such as intimate acoustic performances, listening parties, and pre- and post-concert parties.

Yet Another Bad Music Video Filmed at a Miami Hotel

Where: 485 Brickell Avenue [map], Miami, fl, United States, 33131

What is up with Miami and bad rap videos? First, there was Pitbull's "Hotel Room Service" at the EPIC Hotel. Then John Legend, Kanye and Consequence filmed an unexciting video at The Fontainebleau. And now we have Rick Ross and Robin Thicke b-boying it all over the Viceroy Miami and the Icon Brickell complex with their new video, "Lay Back."

Everywhere they go in the video, there are skimpy girls in bikinis and high heels--chilling at the Viceroy's super long pool, doing a sexy strut in the spa, getting cozy in a (faux) guestroom and making out in the screening room.

The song is alright but even though we love Robin Thicke, he looks like Justin Timberlake's "D-ck in a Box" and "Mother Lover" character, just without the goatee and the 90s clothing. Seriously, what is he doing in this video? Cheese alert. However, we will admit that the video shows off the Viceroy Miami's best features--the jaw-dropping views of The Biscayne Bay.

Since Lionel Richie's video still seems to be the defacto measurement device for bad music videos, we have to say that Robin Thicke and Rick Ross' terrible video is better that Lionel's. But not by much.
