Love Must Be In The Air


Ruben Studdard is getting married! Ruben and his fiancée Surata Zuri McCants were spotted getting their marriage license in an Alabama court house. The license is only good for 30 days so they have to be getting married soon, altho the date hasn't been made public. Actually, now that I'm writing this, I don't really care that Ruben is getting married. I got excited at first because I was all pumped about Jill and was feeling all lovey and fuzzy for a minute. But, while I do appreciate a Ruben tune, his marriage isn't really news worthy. Or is it?

The good thing is that it looks like he has lost at least 100 pounds.

He Loves Me - John Roberts in F Sharp


Jill Scott has found love again, ya'll! While performing for the first time at Carnegie Hall, Jill began to sing the song we all know and love 'He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat),' when John Roberts, Jill's drummer came on stage with a bouquet of yellow roses and kissed her. Jill then turned to the crowd and announced their engagement. How very romantical. I love me some Jill, so if she's found love again, I wish her all the best. We know how this love thang can be and you gotta appreciate a woman who still believes that it is worth it to try again.

Plead Guilty Today, Rip The Runway Tomorrow



So just a day or two after Naomi plead guilty to spitting and trying to beat down the British police after drama on British Airways and escaped jail time yet again and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and required to pay $400 to each officer she attempted to back slap, Naomi did the damn thing on the runway for the & Gabbana - MFW Menswear Spring / Summer 2009 fashion show in Milan.





I mean, Naomi has been beatin bitches down and workin the runway simultaneously for years. There is clearly no one who does it better.

Tyra Wins Her First Emmy!



Congrats to Tyra for winning her Emmy for Best Talk Show (informative)! While I could have done without her beyond extra acceptance speech...you know her rant about telling people who tell you you can't do something to kiss your big, fat, jiggly, dimply, bootylicious, skinny, fat ass! When they showed her mother at the end of her speech, she looked like damn Tyra, you should have stopped at thanking Oprah for being your inspiration. Anyway, I'm really happy that Tyra has managed to build a truly successful empire.

What I'm not happy about is is Trya's extra blonde lacefront and that dress. She looks like she's all one color. Me no likey at all.

Life In The Fab Lane: It All Ends Fabulously

So as I mentioned before, due to my hectic schedule and fun times, I've been slippin on my Life in the Fab Lane viewing and re-caps. So, since tonite was the season finale, I had to watch and see how Kimora wraps up a fun season. In this final episode, KiKi is searching for two things: a puppy and a dress for the Costume Institute Gala at the MET.

After Kimora's baby Zoe died, she thought it was time to get the girls a puppy and teach them a bit of responsibility. When Kimora talked about Zoe and got all choked up I knew exactly how she felt, because she had Zoe since she was a teenager and Zoe was her baby and friend forever. I got my dog when I was 13 and she died recently and it was honestly like losing my best friend and my sister. Even when knowing that they are old and its their time, it just doesn't make it any easier. Anyway....Kimora, in typical style has Christopher go looking for the puppy. You know, like instead of having the girls go and pick out a dog, they just tell Christopher the kind of dog they want -- a black and white, female, teacup Pomeranian -- and Christopher just needs to find the one they want.

Meanwhile, Kimora goes to fabulous gown maker Kevin Hall to find her dress for the Gala. She wants something extra fabulous and extraordinary because, well it is the Costume Gala at the MET. So after trying on a few dresses she tries on the colorful African print dress that she looked fabulous in. At the time, she wasn't exactly sure it was the one, but she takes it because she does love it.

So while Kimora is still deciding on her dress, Christopher is going to every puppy shop in L.A. looking for the specific dog that KiKi and the girls wanted. These puppies were soooooo cute. I mean, I wanted all of them...and so did Christopher but he knew he couldn't bring back nothing that wasn't exactly what Kimora wanted.

Kimora took the girls to Pinkberry to discuss what their responsibilities would be as puppy parents. While Kimora is talkin Ming and Aoki are only worried about their frozen yogurt and Fruity Pebbles and not payin her no kind of attention. So Kimora says who is going to clean up the poopie? Aoki says, Ming. And Kimora says, Aoki what are you going to do? Aoki says, love it, hug it and kiss it. So Kimora creates a contract which she has both girls sign to make sure they know that they are going to be held responsible. I love that! KiKi is grooming her girls to be about the business. Fabulous!

Next Kimora has her friend Andre Leon Talley come and approve of her dress. He gives his seal of approval and has the NERVE to say, "She is going to look spectacular because I never make a mistake." Oh really, Andre? Mkay boo, you believe that if you want to. Anyhoo..Kimora is thrilled because she has her dress and even better, Christopher finds the exact dog that the girls want. She really is a cute tiny lil thing and the people who currently own her, bring her so KiKi and the girls can meet her. They love her and Simba, Kimora's other baby loves her too. So yay, they'll take her. They tell the people they will pick her up after they get back from NY.



So its the night of the Gala and Kimora looks fabulous and Christopher gets a call from the puppy owner and they say they have decided to keep her. Kimora is basically like oh hell no, I have two little girls that want that puppy, she's ours, handle it. So Kimora goes off to the Gala and she said it was fun and fabulous but the whole time she was thinking about whether or not they were going to get the puppy. And of course they do...and Aoki says, let's name her "make-up" or "jewelry"....is this girl Kimora's daughter or what?! They decide to the name the baby Suki. Welcome to the family, Suki....lucky bitch.

I've had so much fun with Kimora, Ming and Aoki! I'm sad the season is over but I'm hoping there is another season in the works. Maybe next season will be all about Kimora's maybe or maybe not engagement to Djimon.

What's Wrong With This Picture?



Mkay...so I understand that nerdy glasses are all the rage now, for whatever reason. And I've said over and over again that I am nobody's fashion guru nor do I care to be. However, I will question some shit that I just think is straight up fug, a hot as mess, or if I need to know Just Why? With that said, is Jay-Z supposed to look like a blind constipated Grandpa? Is the goal of these extra nerdy glasses to not only make you look smarter than you are but older too? Seriously, I just need someone to explain the "hotness" factor of these glasses cuz I'm missing it.

Fabulosity of the Day: The Black Issue

Who would have ever thought we'd see the day when any world renowned fashion bible did an All Black Issue? The funny thing is, since every issue is an all white issue, when it's an all black issue it is time to break out the bubbly!

According to Vogue Italia: “For the July issue of Italian Vogue, Mr. Meisel has photographed only black models. In a reverse of the general pattern of fashion magazines, all the faces are black, and all the feature topics are related to black women in the arts and entertainment. Mr. Meisel was given roughly 100 pages for his pictures. The issue will be on European newsstands next Thursday and in the United States soon after.”






Do ya'll see the hotness that is my true love, Liya? She is just insane. Ridiculously stunning! The four covers are beyond fabulous, Tyra looks so beautiful, and I don't much about Sessilee Lopez but I do know bitch is fierce. Kudos!

So You Think You Can Dance: Results


As I predicted, Marquis and Susie went home. I also thought, Chelsea and Thayne and Comfort and Christina would end up in thebottom three and they did. And as I said, Susie couldn't out dance either one of them. However, I'm a bit pissed because Marquis DANCED for his life last night and I thought Christina should have gone home. Nigel said some bullshit about Marquis doing more tricks than dancing. Personally, if you are dancing for you life, don't you pull out every trick you can to dance your ass off?! Just my thought. Anyway, I'm glad my girls Chelsea and Comfort still have a chance. Adios Marquis and Susie.

F.U. To The Rescue!

OK, it's been a minute since I've had to rescue somebody. The last chic who asked me for advice almost got rescued but then I thought about it. I was annoyed at her question, her self-inflicted situation and realized that I would prolly waste 5 paragraphs of my life setting her straight and/or cussin that silly bitch out. Some people can't be helped, don't want to be helped, and already know they are assholes but want some sort of validation that it is OK for them to be assholes. And at the time I got her email, I just wasn't in the mood for the bullshit. Not to mention, F.U. is not a doctor, and while I absolutely love telling people what I think they should do, some people have real issues and should seek real help. I did tell her real quickly to get a life, tho.

Anyway....so I did get an email requesting my advice from a nice young lady who seems to be genuinely torn and not really sure what to do. So, let's get to it.

Hey F.U.,

Please don't be 'stank' with me. I absolutely don't dish attitude because I can't take it. I wanted to ask you what you think about this current predicament I'm in. OK, there is this guy that I used to work with. While at work, we were very friendly. He is an extremely nice guy. Literally that guy that will give you the shirt of his back if you needed it or the guy you could call at 2 in the morning to come get you because you are stranded somewhere. Anyway, he left the company and we talk even more now that we don't work together. I am really starting to have feelings for him. The only problem is that, and I feel so bad about this, is that he is fat. F.U. his breast are bigger than mine. He does have a cute face and I know if he lost the weight he would be so handsome. Since we became friends, I've tried to give subtle hints. Like I would bring in fruit and be like, I don't want this apple, do you want it? And he would take the apple and eat it but then right after that eat a snickers bar. Or I would say, I'm going for a walk at lunch, do you want to come. And most times he would say no, although I know he wanted to come just to spend the time with me. When I would get back he would say, I wanted to come with you but Mr. so and so gave me this project I had to work on. I knew it was all bull and it was just because he just wasn't about to do any exercise. And that is a big turn off.

Lately he has been more expressive to me about his feelings and I want to tell him that I would like to be with him but I feel so shallow because I also want to tell him that he needs to lose weight. I'm 30 years old and am tired of the dating scene and really feel like he could be someone I could marry. How do you suggest I go about doing this without hurting his feelings or having him feel like I don't really like him because I can't accept him for who he is?

Thank you,

GiGi

Dear GiGi,

I'm not going to be stank. I will, however, be very honest with you as per always. I personally am not dealin with nobody whose cup size is bigger than mine. It's just not happening. I don't care how nice you are. Everything for ME starts on physically level. HOWEVER, there are exceptions to this rule. Here is the thing. I was in a relationship, one that turned extremely serious, with someone who wasn't at all my ideal man physically. I mean, I didn't even really notice him until we had to do this project together. And while getting to know him, I saw that he was such a sweet, caring, and nice man. And for a long time it was great. I knew that he woke up everyday amazed and thanking God that he had managed to snag himself this hot piece who was way beyond anything he could have ever imagined for himself. And I, just knew that I would be loved unconditionally forever. Only problem was....later on, I realized that that wasn't enough for me and I didn't love him as much as I thought I did. I was in love with the idea of him. And truth be told, I knew I deserved better than him, I deserved the whole package, and I knew that I had settled. But I was young and dumb but very thankful for the experience.

So here is what I suggest. If you really, really, really like this man and not just the idea of this man then I would tell him how you feel. I would tell him what you like about him and what you don't. You can tell him that while it may seem like you are being shallow or even rude, his health and your need for physical attraction are very important to you. Ultimately, it will be up to him to decide that you are worth him eating cabbage soup everyday and getting his fat ass on a treadmill for 30 minutes a day. Something tells me that you are probably worth that effort. He has probably been waiting for just this kind of kick in the behind to finally do something about his weight. And what better reason?

You also have to be willing to work with him and know that his weight loss won't be something that happens over night. He may also have mental issues behind his eating, so you that is something that he may also need to work and need your support with. So if you decide that you are going to be with him, you have to be with him. This may mean bumpin titties. And who knows? You may even like it. With the fatties, I'm guessing its all about you riding and letting him hit that from back. Now that I think about it, other than the belly jelly on your back, it sounds like fun times to me!

So before you do anything, take some time to think about it. Keep talking to him. But always, always, be honest.

Let me know how things work out. And I swear, if you end up getting married and having kids and he loses a hundred pounds, I better get an invite to the wedding, I better get to cut the cord for the first kid, and I want a Christmas gift each year. I'm kidding!!!

F.U.

P.S. Here are some women who have fat ass husband's and just don't give a fluff!

Fabulosity of the Day: Rih Rih's Shoes



HOT. Nuff Said.
