May 6, 2000 - (From Left to Right) Jay Z, Aaliyah, Bijou Phillips, and Kidada Jones attend a Tommy Hilfiger Party at the 'Bar North' in Los Angeles California.

Other notable attendees included Nicole Richie, Damon and Marlon Wayans, Luke Wilson, and Danny Masterson. This gathering was part of Tommy Hilfiger's efforts to promote his brand by associating with prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Aaliyah, Bijou Phillips, and Kidada Jones had previously modeled for Hilfiger, and their presence at the event highlighted their ongoing collaboration with the brand.

Although information regarding the event's activities is scarce, the gathering of these celebrities at Bar North highlights the close relationship between the music and fashion industries in the early 2000s.

Aaliyah's Pants:

Many fans would notice Aaliyah wears these same pants two other separate times in 2000. The pants were designed by the famous Roberto Cavalli

Speaking OF weed, DID YOU KNOW Aaliyah was a smoker and could hold her own? There’s no confirmed public record or interview where Aaliyah herself admits to smoking weed. However, American Rapper, Jim Jones, recalls a time Aaliyah caught him off guard:

"{Dame} had one of the first edits of the 'Paid in Full' movie, and me and Cam[ron] went over there to watch it. Him and Aaliyah were there. I had maybe a half an ounce of weed, and [Aaliyah] kept tellin' me, 'Roll up, n***a, you smokin' that or what?'" Jim then shares that him and Aaliyah smoked nearly the entire half.

When Jim's comment first came out, many Aaliyah fans BOO'ed Jones saying he was lying on Aaliyah's name. Because, well, it was said (while Aaliyah was alive and even immediately after her death) that she had never 'smoked or drank'.

^ People Mag. Sept 2001 ^ // Dion Jackson said Aaliyah never Smoked.

However, Damon Dash as well as Aaliyah's former hairstylist, Tre' Major, confirmed (Aaliyah smoking weed) as true (almost 2 decades after her passing).

Perhaps Aaliyah only showed that part of her to people she trusted and was comfortable with. *shrugs* What do you think?

Danny Masterson, the former star of the TV series That 70’s Show, has been denied bail over concerns the actor would attempt to flee the country.

Actor Danny Masterson has been sent to California state prison to serve his 30 years to life sentence for two rape convictions.
