Who's Hot

Let's get right into it, lovelies!!

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul is just doing the most right now! Mary J. Blige is starring in the newest Tyler Perry film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself. I was going to give it to Taraji, but then I remembered Mary's gorgeous Essence cover for the October issue. Here she is at the movies premiere donning all white with her ever-glowing skin.





He's featured on The Blueprint 3 and has his own album, Man on the Moon, dropping on September 15th. Scott Mescudi, known to us as Kid Cudi is doing his promotional thing headed to the Late Show taping. I love his I-stay-up-all-night, but-I'm-good look and he's a Twitterhead, so you gotta love him. Added an extra flick just because I think it's cute. : ]

Random Celeb Junk

Hey lovelies, here's a random purging of stuff I've heard, seen and read in that last couple days.

A queen of lace fronts, only second to Beyonce, has finally revealed to her audience what her real hair looks like. That's right, after all that unnecessary anticipation, Auntie Tyra showed us all that she's got a head full of hair. I know I am not alone when I say I was waiting for about ear length hair that probably wouldn't make it into to ponytail [kinda like Eve]. Next!



Maia Campbell's crazy, crackhead/schizo video was all over the net and everyone was like, "DAMN!! She was effin them ketchup chips up!!" Another pretty, quasi-talented Black woman gone to waste. She's already been in treatment before and she continues to use drugs knowing of her reactions with her bipolar disorder/depression. I'll pray for her along with the rest of the crackheads roaming around Baltimore. [here's the video] Jesus, take the wheel!

LaLa Vasquez dropped her website.. for what? Next!

Speaking of LaLa, her brother Ludacris was getting his philanthropy on and gave away 20 cars to unfortunate families. That's a wonderful gesture, but a friend infiltrated my mind with the thought, "If they're unfortunate, how are they going to maintain these cars? Who's paying the insurance? And what about gas?" Who knows?

Nicole Ritchie gave birth to a baby boy named, Sparrow James Midnight Madden. Enough said...
And no, Lauren London has not dropped her baby gremlin, yet.

Another Black man placing his hands on a woman is so disappointing. Allegedly, football player Shawne Merriman choked the hell out his girlfriend, Tila Tequila. Smh, she's like 2 lbs soaking wet and he's going to jail. My face would've looked like this, too...

Well that's all, lovelies!!

So, They Were For Real


As you lovelies know, when Teddy Graham and Christina Milian got together I thought it was about as random and nutty as Nick Cannon and Mariah. But just like Nick and Mariah, these two were serious and supposedly had a quickie wedding in Vegas last Friday. The rumor mills are buzzing about C.Mili being pregnant with a mini-graham, too. Ugh, this is all too weird to me, they are so random!! Anywho, Nivea uber-pregnant self is probably regretting that she went back to that gremlin, only to be his 973,453,245th baby mother.

Can't Hear the Angels on This One

My boo and I were into Dirty Money's "Angels" upon hearing it. We even spent a minute imagining what the video would be like... Black and white shots, Diddy walking on the street in the rain. We were close, but no cigar. And when I found out that the illustrious Hype Williams would be directing alongside with Diddy's over-the-top visions, I thought I was in for a treat. Wrong! This video is so parched!! I mean I get it, but it's late as almighty. I swear I've seen it already. Anyway, you lovelies let me know how you feel about it. Take a glance.

It'll Make You Slap Yo Mama!

I was spending a quiet evening with my roommate and our apartment's frequenters and they were all enveloped in this joke that I had no clue about. So, they exposed me to the video I'm about to share with you lovelies. I laughed at first, then I thought, "not my mother" and then I thought, "wow, he's still alive." Well, with that said, enjoy!

"How does it feel? How does it feel to be told, 'Shut Up'?!?" Would've been bloody murder at my house!

Divas Love Tacos, Too


So, I'm reading Concrete Loop and there goes Great Auntie Di strutting with her Taco Bell and leopard print flats. I'll eternally love her crazy self and iDie for that wild mane of hers. I can just see her busting down some soft tacos with extra sour cream on the side, all regular-like. But that sweatshirt/cardigan, Jesus take the wheel!! But, if she likes it, I love it. Long live Ms. Ross.

The Student's Lament

Students from all over the nation can relate to administration issues, from financial aid delays to lack of housing and anything else you can name. HBCUs are not the only schools that struggle with these kind of concerns, TWIs do as well. However, the students of the famed HBCU, Howard University, were not going to take it anymore.

Word about a student protest had spread throughout the internet. My first encounter was on Twitter with Diddy asking for details about his alma mater. Then, I read J. Dakar's entry on Concrete Loop and an article on the Washington Post website.

About 350 students rallied in protest Friday morning at their administration building and even threatened a sit-in. I'm sure my fellow Morganites can relate to standing in long lines in any given office in Montebello or trekking to Truth Hall demanding to know what happened to your funds/schedule/housing after you've done everything that you were supposed to do. Everyone knows it gets as serious as keeping security at our financial aid office. Our complaints aren't all that different.

More power to the Howard Students and staff that had their voice heard last Friday.

Fergie + Shoes= The Business

I had been wondering about that shoe line that Fergie was talking about in that HP commercial. [remember that?] I had no clue that it was already out. Not impressed by some of the shoes, but this one really caught my eye. This funky, neutral conception retails for about $100. I dig it. Can you?
