Keyshia Cole The Way It Is Reunion Show

So the reunion show went down like last week or something and I just happened to catch it the other day. I don't have anything to say about Keyshia or her family update....I will say that Frankie is a mess of all proportions (Holla! Tyra Mail! Man Down!) but I love her and Neffe looked GREAT and her baby boy is beautiful.

I however, want to talk about the host of the show Ananda Lewis. Most of us older than 21 should have a very good idea of who Ananda is and the era of Ananda. Ananda was BET. She was being groomed for major things. She interviewed Hillary Clinton on the old BET show Teen Summit as well as other dignitaries. She then went on to host TRL and many other MTV shows. And then if you remember, she had her own talk show "The Ananda Lewis Show" that didn't do that well, then did "The Insider" with Pat O'Brien and then she kind of fell off the radar. She is gorgeous, she is educated, and she is one of those who worked her beauty and her intelligence without having to pull out knee pads or show her ass.

So why is it that the now 30 something Ananda is hosting this reunion show on BET looking like a skeezer?! She looked horrible. She looked like she just left the club or was on her way there but lemme stop and do this interview right quick. Who wants to be staring at exposed titties while they are trying to answer questions?! Her hair even looked a mess. Like she didn't even comb it. It looked like she just got out of the shower and pulled a few tendrils on the side and bam, there it is.

It was just amazing to me how someone with so much promise and so many opportunities ends up looking like a hooker on BET. And truth be told, her interviewing skills weren't even up to par. She let Keyshia, Neffe, and Frankie give the same answer for all the questions and she tried to be hard and threw a lil "ghetto" in there as well. When Neffeteria looks better than you, there is definitely a problem. It was just all forms of disappointing.

Very true. Didn't she even host an Oscars pre-show one year?

You, lead blogger, are just an angry hater.

She looked REAL good. And she's 35! Speaking for the fellas...we respected her mind no less for appearing sexy and remaining professional.

So quit with all the "just left the club, hair ain't comb BS". you just sound jealous and sad.

Hey there Anonymous! Actually, I won't "quit" with anything. I mean, since you clearly came to YISIAW and did some browsing, I can assume that you must understand that this blog is a forum for F.U.'s opinions. And I absolutely respect your opinion and think it is wonderful that you thought she looked sexy and you respect her mind etc. If you actually read my post, you would have understood that I too think Ananda is gorgeous and more than intelligent, but as host of this particular show, she was a hot ass mess - in both the way she looked and how she handled the interview. And I could give two shits about how "jealous and sad" you think I may sound.

So let's just agree to disagree, mkay boo? Thanks for stopping by!
