Keeping Up With Kim Kardassian

OK, so I don't watch the Keeping Up With the Kardashians show on E! but I might need to! So I came across this clip of Kim's sisters Khloe and Kourtney talking about Kim...something about Kim's car and letting the man yell at them blah blah...just when I'm ready to turn the shit off, Kim comes and hears them talking about her. She knocks on the door and one of the sisters (the big man looking one) opens the door and then tries to slam it in her face. Kim comes in swinging her purse on ol' girls head! Then she punches her in the arm. I'm shocked! Who knew Kim had it in her to beat a bitch down?! One that is bigger than her too! I mean, it is her sister and all, but still...I never took her to be one that would ball the fist and get to swingin. The bag swingin -- now that looked about right. In any case, you must see for yourself.

Fabulosity of the Day: Halle & Solange

OK so I couldn't decide who was more fabulous. I mean, of course its Halle shutting it down on all the baby mothas....did she really just have a baby? That woman is just out of control. Just gorgeous.

But then I saw these new promo pics of Solange and I was just like wow, she is not playing this time around. I mean, there isn't anything spectacular about the shots but I think that's what makes them hot. She looks fab. (Especially in that one pic where she is looking very Yonce-ish...can you guess which one?)









Life in the Fab Lane: One Baby Toof Don't Stop the Show!


Last night's episode of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane was part 1 of the drama that is preparing for Fashion Week. This Fashion Week, in particular, is a little more crazy than normal because it is the first time that Phat Farm and Baby Phat are showing together in one collection. Let the drama ensue...

Sandra is responsible for making sure that the new men's clothes are ready to go -- there is just one lil problem -- the clothes are being made in China and days before the show the clothes are no where to be found. See, KiKi, that's what you get for sending your shit to a third world country. You know somebody in West Bubba Alabama would have been more than happy to sew your shit.

BJ Coleman (Celeb publicist) is responsible for making sure the whole front row is packed with celebs...he wanted Tyra, Amerie, Joss Stone...even Perez Hilton (even stating that Perez lives in L.A. and he prolly won't come but invite him anyway.....REALLY???? Perez is really that bitch...slap my face and call me silly for not knowing) -- there is just one lil problem -- Amerie is the only celeb who shows up to be styled for the show which means that she is the only one who is for sure coming. See now.... of course Amerie is gonna show up! What else she got to do? And not to mention, that black trench she was trying on was CUTE...I mean, of course she is gonna get her some free clothes. She's on the verge of becoming D list...she's very C- right now....very C-. All that to say, it is days before the show and if Amerie is the only celeb you got reppin your front row, then there is a serious problem.

James and Miss J Alexander are handling the model casting. Those two have everything under control. James even got up to show a model or two how its done. Miss J told one bitch she looked like she was going to buy a loaf of bread. HA! There was another one whose walk was right on par with that crazy bitch Lauren who just got kicked off ANTM. Clearly, she didn't make the cut. BUT even with the model casting under control -- there is just one lil problem -- no men models can be cast because the men clothes are still in China! Miss J comes up with the idea to have the men walk with in their draws, socks and suspenders. Yup. That's the plan B. Riiiight.

While all of this drama is going on, Kimora has to shut everybody down because Aoki Lee has a tooth ache. She has a cavity. They go to the dentist right away. While Aoki's toofus is all hurt, Ming is steady biting into the biggest apple she could find. Lookin at her sister like, too bad for you. Then Aoki says "Ming, will you go in with me and stay with me?" Ming takes another bite of her apple and is like, "aiight"....Aoki cheers with happiness! YES! So once in the dentist chair, Aoki gets her some laughing gas and she's good to go. No problems there. Check on the baby toofus!

Jerome, Baby Phat designer, is responsible for making Kimora's dress for the show as well as Ming and Aoki's finale dresses. Oh Jerome. Jerome. Jerome, Jerome, Jerome. First, his perm is poppin. His front swoop gets me every time. Second, he brings the sketches over to Kimora's house for Kimora and the girls to see. Right of the bat Ming is like, nope, I want something different. Then Aoki does her own sketch and Jerome starts laughing, and Ming gives him the crooked eye and says "Don't laugh at my sister's sketch!" HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THESE TWO?!!! Ming will bust your lip if you fuck wit her sister. Loves it. Anyway, Jerome comes up with sketches that everyone is happy with. Except there is one lil problem.....Jerome goes to the fabric shop and the seamstress without his sketches and his swatches!!! JEROME! So he had to try and sketch everything from memory and picked a fabric for Aoki's dress that she did not want. She wanted RED and he picked some lime green shit. Really, Jerome? What is goin on in your life? Then, Kimora's dress takes forever to come from being made in L.A. and when it finally comes and he gets Ming and Aoki's dresses he takes them to them ladies.....Ming's dress, it works check. Aoki's dress....hell and to the naw! It looked very similar to Ming's except the collar and ruffle stuff looked way bigger and the lime green color looked like she was peddlin 7Up. Not to mention, Aoki wanted RED! No and No! Then KiKi tries her dress on and is NOT happy. Jerome, your job depends on this shit. Fix it!

We are left with Jerome looking like he has nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrea! Can't wait for next week!!

A Lil Just Why In The Mornin: No Justice

So........seems round these parts it is quite alright to shoot an unarmed man 50 times for no good reason. However, should you 'forget' to pay your taxes, Wesley Snipes, you will be sentenced to three years in the pokey. Paris fuckin Hilton served time in jail but three cops who kill an unarmed man on his wedding day, wounding two others, are acquitted. I just don't understand. I am in complete shock and am disturbed by this on all levels.

For those of you who don't know, a 23 year-old man, Sean Bell, was executed leaving a strip club hours before he was to be married. Three cops claimed they thought he and his friends were armed and proceeded to shoot him 50 times, murdering him and severely wounding his two friends. There were actually a total of 5 cops who shot at the three men and all five cops were in plain clothes and never identified themselves as police officers. Only three were charged and this trial has gone on for quite some time and it just seemed obvious that no matter what the defense said, there was no way justice would not be served.

According to the judge he acquitted all three men based on the following:

"Justice Arthur Cooperman said he found problems with the prosecution's case. He said some prosecution witnesses contradicted themselves, and he cited prior convictions and incarcerations of witnesses.

He also cited the demeanor of some witnesses on the stand."

"Noting that Bell, Benefield and Guzman had criminal records, Cooperman questioned why they chose for Bell's bachelor party a strip club "known as venues that create criminal activity ... such as prostitution."

The demeanor of some witnesses....really? So basically, the judge didn't like how the black people spoke and/or looked? I mean, what does that mean? Since when does demeanor outweigh the truth? Since when does demeanor outweigh the reality that a man lost his life for no reason at all? A man who was actually a good guy, about to be married, and be a father to his two young daughters!

And seriously...did he deserve to die because they chose to take him to a strip club for his bachelor party?????!!!!! This man is DEAD and you justify his shooting because they had criminal records and went to a strip club. WOW.

I can't. I really can't.

R.I.P Sean Bell...Nicole Bell and your babies, this, too, shall pass.

Trapped in the Flaming Closet: Hip Hop

So, we all have our ideas about who they gay rappers are....who the tops are, who the bottoms are, and who likes to swallow....but thanks to Terrance Dean, we'll need to wonder no more. The industry executive and insider has decided to put it all our there....or so we are led to believe based on his soon to be released book's synopsis.

Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities’ heart’s desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide. Terrance Dean worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment industry from intern to executive, and has lived the life of glitz and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop’s most glamorous. With a family full of secrets and working in an industry founded on maleness — where one’s job, friendships, and reputation all depend on remaining on the down low and in hiding — Dean writes a revealing account of the journey of coming out from hiding.

I personally don't know what to think about this...I mean, is he really going to be putting these homo-thugs on blast? What is going on with him that he is willing to risk his career? He is risking losing his status within the industry and for what? I mean, it might be an interesting read, but I really don't see this guy naming names but who knows...how you doins be bout it. I'll wait to see what comes out - no pun intended - after the books release on May 16th.



In the mean time, who do you think he might talk about in the book?




New Muziq: Alicia Keys

Alicia's new video for her single "Teenage Love Affair" is really cute...it features Derek Luke (he's so cute) and has a School Daze theme poppin. Me likey.

Estelle Does Bleu

I'm loving Estelle's spread in Bleu. More importantly, I'm loving that her people clued her in on the importance of invisalign.





Raise A Pinky: Star is Divorcing Al U Doin


Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Star filed for divorce from Al U Doin on March 26th. "In a statement released exclusively to Entertainment Tonight, the former "View" co-host says: "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."

How bout several years ago you were so unhappy with yourself that you made an error in judgement and married a flaming gay man. When will there be admittance of that?! And at this point, who even gives a shit Star? You are still inviting the media into your life. If you filed almost a month ago, why are you even talking about it now? Everybody will get the memo on their own when Al U Doin writes the tell all....either that or we see pictures of him this summer walking around Fire Island with his bedazzled cock ring on display.

Either way, I hope this is a lesson for all. Gastric bypass and marrying gay men don't make you happy. It just makes you a skinny Bobble Head with a serious vibrator collection.

Sigh....Amy Just Why?




Amy. Amy. Amy....what is there left to say to your cracked out ass?! I would highly recommend steroids and donkey milk but I already know that all you will do is add some sizzurp and smoke it all through your pipe. I think you are beyond help at this point. I want so badly for you to get your shizz together. I mean, I do know crack heads who at least brush their teeth. It is the least you can do. Why can't you wash your ass and hit the pipe? Whitney does it all the time but that is prolly cuz Ray-J has a thing about fishless coochie. But I digress...I will continue to either wait for your death or your next album.

Love you boo,

F.U.


For Your Viewing Pleasure....

So um, in Lyfe Jennings new song, he says something like "I don't care about what you heard, 30 is not the new 20. It's the same ol' 30." That cracks me up er'time I hear that. But all that to say, there is something real serious in Stacey Dash's steroids and donkey milk because for her, 42 is simply the new hotness.






A Lil Just Why In The Mornin....

So now that Foxy is out of the pokey she wants to go to church and pray....but only if the pappos are takin her pic. If you notice, she's rockin her ear piece...you know, since she's deaf and stuff....I'm just hoping that her levels were high enuff to hear God tell her that she's a hot mess, her weave is dry, and if she keeps frontin like she's gangsta he's gonna pop a cap in her ass then throw her the deuces.

And Let The Church Say AMEN

"My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) …by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote — and yours — on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

I haven't spoken publicly ’til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name.

Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.

Well, that sounded good last year, but over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does — AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!

This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.

But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.

How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come — but it won't be you. We'll have to wait for the current Democratic governor of Kansas to run in 2016 (you read it here first!).

There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.

That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him.

I know some of you will say, 'Mike, what have the Democrats done to deserve our vote?' That's a damn good question. In November of '06, the country loudly sent a message that we wanted the war to end. Yet the Democrats have done nothing. So why should we be so eager to line up happily behind them?

I'll tell you why. Because I can't stand one more friggin' minute of this administration and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world. I'm almost at the point where I don't care if the Democrats don't have a backbone or a kneebone or a thought in their dizzy little heads. Just as long as their name ain't "Bush" and the word "Republican" is not beside theirs on the ballot, then that's good enough for me.

I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for 8 long years. That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters — that big "D" on the ballot.

Don't get me wrong. I lost my rose-colored glasses a long time ago.

It's foolish to see the Democrats as anything but a nicer version of a party that exists to do the bidding of the corporate elite in this country. Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgement and a hope that one day we will have a party that'll represent the people first, and laws that allow that party an equal voice.

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.

But the question I keep hearing is… 'can he win? Can he win in November?' In the distance we hear the siren of the death train called the Straight Talk Express. We know it's possible to hear the words "President McCain" on January 20th. We know there are still many Americans who will never vote for a black man. Hillary knows it, too. She's counting on it.

Pennsylvania, the state that gave birth to this great country, has a chance to set things right. It has not had a moment to shine like this since 1787 when our Constitution was written there. In that Constitution, they wrote that a black man or woman was only "three fifths" human. On Tuesday, the good people of Pennsylvania have a chance for redemption.

Yours,
Michael Moore"

Wendy's Talk Show...It's Official

Have you heard that despite the pending lawsuit and drama, Wendy Williams' talk show is slated to air July 14th on Fox? The hour long tranny fest will run for six weeks in the following major cities: New York (Ch. 5), Los Angeles, Dallas and Detroit. While I can't wait to see this, I'm really much more interested in what's poppin off with Nicole and this lawsuit. Yesterday on her radio show, she had Charlamagne (her sidekick) read the press release announcing her talk show and then he read something about her husband/manager/lover who was a big part in making this happen blah blah....typical cover up and even Wendy knows that she has taught her listeners well and we all know a bullshit cover up when we hear one. It will be interesting to see if after the six week initial run whether or not she'll be paying people off so that her show can go on as planned or if things that happened in the dark will come to light....

UMMMMMMM.....




Since when are tights and shorts an acceptable combination? Since when do shorts start from the rib cage? Or is that a denim girdle with buttons tucked in the shorts? And didn't we stop rolling the bottom of the shorts up in in 1989? Just why? I think even a 12 year old knows that this ensemble is a hot mess of Forever 21 proportions. Ticky Tacky...just Ticky Tacky!

Why I Love Robin Roberts


OK so you've heard me say it a billion times, Good Morning America is my mornin crack. I cannot function unless it is on and that is mostly because of Robin Roberts. GMA is the only morning show of its caliber with two women as the lead anchors and she is the only black woman lead anchor. And it is because she really is the person that you want talking to you first thing in the morning. She is always chipper and you can just sense that she just has a naturally beautiful spirit. When she isn't there, I most certainly miss her. And you know how proud of her I was when she walked in the Isaac Mizrahi show with her bald head...she's just amazing.

So this morning, I was all nervous because she and Diane kept alluding to some kind of change going on and this announcement they were going to make. I was brushing my teeth thinking NO, no announcements! Is Robin leaving?! Is it something else with her breast cancer? I don't want to hear it. But then Diane said it is a beautiful thing. Just stick with us. So at the start of the 8:00 hour Robin tells us that she is no longer going to wear her wig on television. As her hair is growing back, she has been out publicly and speaking at events with her natural bald head. She was wearing the wig for everyone else's benefit and she just didn't want to do that anymore. So while, India Arie's "I Am Not My Hair" played in the background, Robin took the wig off. And she's hot. I can only imagine how freeing that had to be for her. She said she was trying to hold on to the old Robin but having cancer and everything that has come with that, she is clearly no longer the old Robin.

Either way, Robin Roberts is beautiful.

Usher: Here I Stand



I am loving Usher's grown man swag. Is it the facial scruff? Or does dealin with Jelly Belly just add an extra layer of 'just why' that just happens to translate into hotness on him? Whatever it is, me likey. Kinda yummy there Ursher...like um, kinda got me wanting to make love in da club(Eh!)...in da club(Eh!)...yup, yummy indeed.
