*Rumor....

Supposedly, Ne-yo's going to be a daddy! There's rumors that his fiancee' is prego. Hmmm...I wonder who's baby will be cuter? His or Ray-J's?....[My bet is on Ray-J jr]

Video of the month

Only Jamie Foxx could put the biggest people in Hollywood, white and black, in a hip-hop video and make you believe you just witnessed one of the most poppin' parties you couldn't even imagine being at....LOVE IT!
p.s. peep the big girl doin' her thing...she's killin' it!

For girls who've always wanted to pee standing up

Ok so this company created a device that enables females to use the bathroom in any situation or environment. Whoa I think I like this. lol. Google it people!

Papa Ray-J???

Yall know Danger from For the love of Ray-J right? I don't know, I kinda thought they were cute together, but now this chick is blabbing to the Enquirer that Ray-J got her pregnant and that they had sex almost every night while she was in the house. Hmmm??? Pregnant??? We'll have to see I guess, but c'mon now, everybody knows that nothing posted by the Enquirer is ever true. She needs to shut up and cut it out. We've watched too many black reality dating shows on VH1 to even be shocked or phased by this scheme that was cooked up.

p.s. she's a nude model (ooh shocker!)...and supposedly now she's engaged to Nick Cannon's brother. smh.

If that boy don't love me by now

...he will never ever love me.
I know I'm not the only one who has ever gone through this, so I just want to speak on it real quick. Along comes this dude and instantly I fall for him because he has a real cool personality. Now I know how I am and I have a tendency to be overly passionate about my feelings, hence I fell for him way too quickly and ended up getting my heart broken after hearing him say he didn't feel the same. What left me confused, though, was that eventhough he didn't feel the same, he still wanted my time and affection. For quite a while it's been like this, and while it appears to be a friendship where we talk every so often and make plans to hang out, there's still lingering feelings and hope that this won't turn out to be a waste of time and that he's feeling something too. I don't know whether he knows this or not, because I don't want to take another dose of rejection, but I still wonder about "us". Everyday I've got dudes asking me out, throwing compliments, and trying to make me aware of the type of man I need, but yet I still ignore them, waiting for him to see what they see in me. The truth is so painfully obvious and I'm tired of feeling so ashamed. If it were meant to be, I know he wouldn't be causing me so much confusion and embarassment. For those who know me, yes, I've tried this time after time, but nah I'm really done. I'm a beautiful and amazing woman and I thank those people who helped me to see that. If I'm not what he wants then oh well, it doesn't mean a thing....and to anyone who's stuck on someone who's not willing to love them the way they deserve to be loved then let it go, because there's definitely someone else who would do anything to be with you. They may not be what you expect at first, but remember...looks fade, true love doesn't.
P.S. I now have someone who loves me in ways I can't even describe. I don't know what the future holds, but I thank God he's in my life right now...oh and I love him too. ; D

Thank You Mr. Legend

We all saw or at least heard about this offensive and disrespectful cartoon released by the New York Post, and a lot of people had many words for the cartoonist and the newspaper. You know Al Sharpton got on this one with the quickness, but I was impressed after reading an open letter John Legend wrote to The Post:

Dear Editor:

I'm trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our President has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon?

If that's not what you intended, then it was stupid and willfully ignorant of you not to connect these easily connectable dots. If it is what you intended, then you obviously wanted to be grossly provocative, racist and offensive to the sensibilities of most reasonable Americans. Either way, you should not have printed this cartoon, and the fact that you did is truly reprehensible. I can't imagine what possible justification you have for this. I've read your lame statement in response to the outrage you provoked. Shame on you for dodging the real issue and then using the letter as an opportunity to attack Rev. Sharpton. This is not about Rev. Sharpton. It's about the cartoon being blatantly racist and offensive. I believe in freedom of speech, and you have every right to print what you want. But freedom of speech still comes with responsibilities and consequences. You are responsible for printing this cartoon, and I hope you experience some real consequences for it. I'm personally boycotting your paper and won't do any interviews with any of your reporters, and I encourage all of my colleagues in the entertainment business to do so as well. I implore your advertisers to seriously reconsider their business relationships with you as well.

You should print an apology in your paper acknowledging that this cartoon was ignorant, offensive and racist and should not have been printed. I'm well aware of our country's history of racism and violence, but I truly believe we are better than this filth. As we attempt to rise above our difficult past and look toward a better future, we don't need the New York Post to resurrect the images of Jim Crow to deride the new administration and put black folks in our place. Please feel free to criticize and honestly evaluate our new President, but do so without the incendiary images and rhetoric.

Sincerely,
John Legend

THE WORST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Everybody looks forward to their 21st and it's usually the time when you go all out and make the most memories...So with that being said, I just wanna say I feel extremely sorry for the birthday girl Rihanna. Today she gets to spend her bday knowing that her photos after the abuse she just faced got leaked for the world to see. As if being hurt by the one you love isn't bad enough. Having to face my co-workers after a petty breakup with my boyfriend was embarrassing and a little hard, so I can't even imagine how she must feel having her privacy invaded and being humiliated in front of the entire world. Honestly, I respect both artists and wish this didn't have to happen to them. He was definitely wrong for what he did, but I wish the best for both of them and their careers. "Ish happens"...but HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIHANNA!!!

WTF Weezy....Why?!?!?!?!

Ok I'm a little late [excuse] but I'm listening to the first single off Weezy's upcoming "rock" album and my initial reaction is STFU! I definitely respect his music, but enough with the autotune and jibberish. Oh and will someone help him find himself because although it's cool to be multi-faceted and take interest in new and different things...it's not cool to be a poser. Rapper-turned-rockstar??? Let's be real now.

From Burning Hot to Just Plain Burning

Females hearts, myself included, were nothing less than devestated to hear that their perfect man a.k.a. Mr. Chris Breezy would ever dare pick up a hand and hit any woman yet alone his girl. This just goes to show you, you never really know a person. He was at the height of his career and now look at what happened. Radio stations refuse to support his music and his spokesmen ads for both Doublemint and "Got Milk?" have all been discontinued. Damn it Chris, time to face the music [no pun intended.]

To make things ten times worst not only is his career taking a plunge but so will that sex appeal. Apparently Mr. Brown was looking a little red below the belt. The cause...herpes!!! Whether or not he did contract the STD from Rihanna, which has yet to be confirmed, he's always going to be known as the dude with herpes. Believe me no female is going to be "taken down" by him anymore. With the millions made by each one of them, are you telling me no one could have bought that Trojan? Come on guys, get that latex for safe sex otherwise you gotta learn when you feel that burn!!!

P.S. I just thought this was funny...

Spring Shopping

I don't give a damn what that groundhog says...I WANT SPRING TO HURRY UP AND GET HERE!!! I'm tired of wearing this peacoat! I'm already planning my spring/summer wardrobe. Supposedly these are some of the new trends so keep them in mind if you're just as anxious as me to go shopping.
*Remember: a true fashionista can take a look, make it her own, and still stay within her own budget.

The Day for Love and All That Good Stuff

Tomorrow is February 14th...You know what that means! If you're like me then you're probably thinking okay, so what? It's just another day. Love should be celebrated EVERYDAY. It's kind of ridiculous how people get around this time of the year, so I took the time to come up with some last-minute V-Day do's and don't's:
Do's
* Ladies switch things up and treat your man. If he's going the extra mile to show he cares then you could at least get in the kitchen and cook him something nice. Can't cook? Then I suggest you head straight to Victoria's Secret (or maybe Spencer's; Ricky's if you live in NYC)...or you could keep it simple and just buy him something he needs.
* Guys there are a lot of girls that love flowers but just remember...Flowers eventually die; Diamonds last forever. If you and your girl have been together for a while then go ahead and throw some diamonds on her wrist or around her neck.
* Dinner and a movie is a good idea, but you can do that anytime with anyone. Let's not front, times are hard, so save money and rent a movie. Cook dinner together or order takeout and feed each other while cuddled up on the couch. Now isn't that cute???
* If you're not in a relationship then plan something special with a friend or a relative. V-day is not just for lovers so there's no reason to feel lonely. It's about showing appreciation for another person. If you're feeling brave, ask out that person you've had your eyes on. You never know, they may be interested.
Don't's
* Don't purposely get into a relationship just to get gifts or sex on V-Day; and vice versa...don't be a jerk and break up with someone just to get out of spending money or taking the time and effort to do something nice for them.
* Don't get too crazy or go all out for someone you just started dating. If it's too early and you break up with that person a week or two later you're going to seriously regret it.
* Don't make it a competition or an opportunity to show off. It's always the thought that counts and if there's no real thought and love in your displays of affection then it's pointless.
* DON'T FORGET TO PRACTICE SAFE SEX!

P.S. for the sneakerheads out there, there's always these...

We hoe stoppin'... we hoe, hoe stoppin'!!!

Guess whos gracing the covers of the March 2009 issue of Playboy? If you guessed Aubrey O'Day you probably where just as disappointed as I was. It seems all this washed up former Danity Kane singeerrr...umm member does is try overly hard to be sexy and ends up looking more constipated than anything. Come on Aubrey, you had the oppourtunity of a lifetime working with Diddy and you still screwed up. He knew what he was doing when he told you to tone it down then and you should definitly be sticking to that advice now. I think we're all tired of juest seeing her trying desperately hard to get this "I'm a sex-goddess" look down. It's just not working.

P.S. I do give her props for actually wearing clothes for the cover.

The ignorance before my eyes

WTF!!!...THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP THIS MAN MR. BENTLEY, BUT OMG...WHY MUST MTV VIEWERS BE SUBJECTED TO THIS IGNORANCE??? EVERYONE ON fROM G'S tO GENTS IS A HOT MESS, BUT THIS MAN IS REALLY A DAMN SHAME AND A DISGRACE.

P.S. HOW COULD ONE DUDE BE CRYING ABOUT BEING HOMELESS BUT HE HAS NEW CLOTHES AND FRESH BRAIDS?

Speaking of clubs...

My co-xtrovert brought up a good rant, and it actually inspired me to address something that has been annoying me alot lately when I go to the clubs or any event...particularly in Albany. Now I'm all about keeping up with the latest trends and anything related to fashion but I just want to know who told these girls that gladiator heels and long shirts were appropriate? I do find a minidress and heels to be a good look, but let's face it...when you got junk in the back there is only so much movement you can do in that dress. What's the point of going to a party and not being able to dance the way you want to because you're too busy trying to make sure your cheeks aren't showing....and some girls have the nerve to just buy long blouses and call it a dress when in actuality it really is just a long blouse. It's winter on top of that. Would it be a fashion crime to wear a nice shirt and jeans? I understand that some girls prefer to wear dresses because it gives them a more mature and stylish look, but how classy could you possibly look in neon-colored spandex skirts and "dresses" that look like a boy's dress shirt? You are not a celebrity, you're not out having a shopping day with the girls, and you're not even attending an event appropriate for a minidress. Living on a college campus does not exclude you from reality and in the real world it's really not cool or attractive to walk around dressed like that...not at a place where everyone's acting wild and dancing, at least. Have fun with fashion ladies, but tackiness is still tackiness.

...this is an example of how and when a
minidress should be worn. (If and only if you
are the type of female who can pull it off)

Dudes at The Club

This past weekend I found myself at the "official" afterparty of my schools winter homecoming in hopes of a lil bump n grind with the few sexy that do actually go to the schools in Albany, only three letters describe what I found...W T F?!? First of all what happened to all the sexy??? The few that actually existed got disgusting and the ones who were already disgusting all somehow morphed into the Mucinex man. I understand winter blues came rolling and and we in a depression and all but guys put down the comfort foods and get your asses moving. This brings me to my second point. Yes, it is a hot ass club and yes, you have been moving all night. But what seriously makes you think any female wants some other dirty ass man's sweat all over her. Before a dude decides to violate a females perimeter...take a moment to allow ur self to dry off. Now to the third and most important point for all men in the club out there. Its been established that these dudes are nasty looking, they got hideous looking bodies and they drenched in man stank, so what makes any dude think grabbing any part of a female, whether it be hand, back, ass or what ever is going to get them any where. Get the F*** outta here!! You better got that Tysen Beckford body or Chris Brown face (on a side note C. Breezy can beat me any time) before I'm getting wit you. And believe me frome what I saw, there is a long way to go. Now fourthly, I understand "Pop Champagne" is one of the club songs of the moment, but come on...a couple of dudes holding plastic champagne flutes sharing a cheap bottle does not make you look hard! And on this topic of dudes flocking together, am I the only one who finds this trend a lil disturbing??? Never in my life have I seen men glue themselves together on the dancefloor, at the bar, in the corner...grr? Yea I kno, disturbing!! Now I can go on all night b/c lets face it, dudes now a dayz are rediculouz...so all I can say to all the ladies out there is just enjoy the night wit ur girlz n beware of these club dudes. xoxo

I actually bothered to watch a little bit of The Grammys last night

Yooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know what to say about this whole Chris Brown/ Rihanna scandal. He was arrested for assault and due to a "car accident" which happened within the same time frame, she has bruises on her face. Hmmmmm....I'm not even going to say it because everyone is innocent until proven guilty, HOWEVER I will say this: my prayers go to both of them because they're two of my favorite artists. Relationships (or friendships, whatever they want to call it) get ugly sometimes and I hope this unfortunate situation doesn't affect their careers.




Now I wasn't even planning on watching The Grammy Awards. I never do because I really don't care for every music genre and let's face it...some performances are really not worth watching, but one performance I was excited about from the moment it was announced was the collaboration for "Swagger like us". Anybody who saw that can admit it was pretty crazy. M.I.A. gets nothing but props for getting on stage on the due date of her baby. The whole time I was scared she was going to go into labor but she killed the performance and held her own with the boys on stage. One other thing I have to say about that performance is that I just wish Jay-Z would explain why he didn't get a haircut or even bother to comb his hair. Kanye has been a style icon since he stepped out on the scene so when he came out on stage with the dry Jhericurlesque, Michael Jackson haircut I was suprised, but not shocked. When 808's and Heartbreak was released and he admitted to the world he was heartbroken I noticed his disregard for a pair of clippers and I just knew he was up to something. It was only a matter of time before he revealed the new look he was trying to achieve...but seriously now, why is Jay-Z being a copycat? That's def not cool in my book. Brooklyn's my birthplace and I love Jay just like the rest of BK, but dude...shouldn't you and Beyonce' be busy planning a family or something? I forgive you for wanting to come out of retirement and keep making music, but your days of trendsetting should be coming to an end.




P.S. Whitney looked beautiful; a little crazy, but still stunning....and did anyone peep how Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers messed up when it was his turn to sing his part in "Superstition" after Stevie. Smh.

It's About Time!!!

Ryan Leslie aka R.Les, the sexy and amazingly talented superproducer himself, is finally dropping his debut album on Tuesday! Don't even act like you weren't rockin to "Diamond Girl" and "Addiction"...and I suggest you give "Valentine" a listen as well...you know...especially since that oh so special 'holiday' is approaching.

Ohhhhh....the anticipation

Remember this?...
Ok...so anyone who's been watching Mtv within the past few days has most likely watched, or at least caught a glimpse of the preview for the upcoming season of Making the Band. Last season, we watched Danity Kane fall apart and I don't know about you but it shocked the hell out of me. We all want to know, what's going to happen now? Are they going to reunite for the sake of their fans? Or is this really the end? Day 26 looks like they're having a few issues too. I hope the MTB curse doesn't plague them too because that would really be a shame. I LOVE them so much that "I Want You (Exclusive)" is the #1 most played song in my iTunes library. Oh well...I guess we're all going to have to wait until Feb.12th @ 9 pm to find out.

p.s. Will Donnie finally get some more shine this season??? Damn, it seems like they just keep him on the backburner. Smh.
