Yeah, I Said It. And What?

Just Cuz I Watched The 2011 BET Awards...

2011-06-26T22:17:00.014-04:00

Hey there, hi there. My last post was more than a year ago, so I'm not really expecting anyone to read this. If you are reading this, by some random Google type miracle, I decided to just blog a lil sumtin right quick just because the 2011 BET Awards just ended and the only thing I actually thought to do was blog about it. This is not a rundown like I would have done in the past - does the one of you that is possibly reading this remember "The Gist"? Well anyway, no this is not a post with accurate details of the entire show, instead, just a few thoughts about a few things that stood out for me.

1. Kevin Hart was actually a pretty decent host. Even a lil funny - I more than appreciated the "Ne-Yo never mind, I saw your head, keep your hat on" statement. The House Husbands of Hollywood segments were a welcome comedic addition to the show but I can ALWAYS do without Nick Cannon. Always. And funny enough, my favorite Basketball Wife, Tami Roman was the best part of it all. Good work outta you Tami! Anyway, here's my thing about Kevin Hart. He's a smidget. Yes, he's a small midget and I find smidgets very hard to take seriously. He was the same size as those lil boys he was steppin wit at the beginning of the show. I can't with smidgets.

2. Mary J. Blige was a fantastic show opener. Lookin good too, Mary! And of course, I especially loved the Anita Baker "Caught Up in the Rapture" duet. I was jammin. I wanted Anita to have on some earrings tho.

3. I was looking forward to Chris Brown's performance. Despite Chris Brown, I'm still a fan. But um, why did Busta Rhymes make Chris Brown irrelevant in his own shit? And what da fluff was he wearin? Those were like Hammer pants with thigh pads...for no reason. Did anyone see any reason for his pants to be so autismical?

4. Seriously, Willow and Jaden Smith tie for the Young People award??!! Ummmm, Willow asked people to whip their hair in one song. DA fluff else has she done? Jaden at least got two movies under his belt but com'on son. KeKe Palmer been runnin the pretty lil black gurl game for years. Not to mention, she was killin' em tonite...gurl is gorgeous...she looked stunning. But um er uh, these Smith kids just came out da damn womb and they've clearly had a good year, but not good enough to be beatin youngins who been at this SUCCESSFULLY for a minute. Not sayin they aren't talented but um, no. If the award is, everybody knows our name right now cuz I was the Karate Kid, I made ya'll Whip Your Hair, my mother's show just started back up on TNT and my father is filming MIB right now, then they win that shiz hands down.

5. Why do boys still wear pants hangin off their asses? And seriously, why are the boys/"men" who still rock this style lil tiny smidgets that prolly wear clothes out of the children's section and the jeans are SKINNY??? Ugh.

6. How come I didn't know half the people nominated or in the audience. I honestly don't think it is cuz I'm gettin old. I mean it may be, but I really think it is cuz music fuckin sucks as do the people providing the bull shit.

7. It's bad enough Justin fuckin Bieber is at the BET Awards for no reason but of all the awards he can present, Best Male Hip Hop Artist. Sigh...anything to get white people watchin, huh BET?

8. How come nobody told Debra Lee that her dress looked like hot shit. It was poorly made and was ill-fitting. And it was just ugly. Maybe Debra may want to take Kevin's advice and include a "No-Man" in her crew. Really, it shouldn't have taken nothing but a look in the mirror but...yeah. No. And no.

9. Mkay. So "Motivation" is on my serious rotation right now and has been for months. So as you can imagine, I was more than excited to know that Kelly Rowland was performing. BET never really mentioned her in the commercials prior to the show or even when they would announce who was coming when they cut to commercials during the show (how many times did you hear them say stay tuned for Justin fuckin Bieber?). So I was thinking that maybe she was closing the show or doing some kind of special surprise performance. Seems she was the after Trey Songz performer...hmmmmmmmm. Now I love the remix with him on it BUT I feel like he should have been HER after performer. This time should be Kelly's time. When was the last time Kelly - as a single artist - done had any kind of love in America, let alone a number one song that people are still excited about?! Uh, I'm thinkin never. So I was all too pumped to think that Kelly was bout to come out and SMASH this shit and have people excited about Motivation all over again and ready to buy her album when it comes out. But of course, that is not what happens - at least not in my unsolicited opinion. Kelly comes out wearing a big ass hat and a stupid suit. She has the sexiest song in the world right now and this bitch is wearing a big ass hat and a suit. The hat totally hid her face, which is her best fuckin asset, and wasn't nothing sexy or cute about that pants suit situation. No and fuckin no, Kelly. I hate to say it, but if Beyonce was coming out singing that song, she would have been in the most sexiest outfit - still keepin it elegant and classy - and she would have sexed up that whole stage with a full on motivation situation. Kelly doesn't get too many opportunities to shine and it just pissed me off that she didn't take full advantage. She did sound great and she gets a B+ for effort, she just didn't smash it and she should have. Then when she tries to get sexy at the end with Trey, rippin her shirt off, it was too late and it was done awkwardly. Not happy. I'm rootin for you Kelly Row but you just proved why some people will always remain the bootleg version.

Trey make skinny bird chest sexy. That is for sure. And he actually sounds good too. Positives where you can find them.

10. The Patti LaBelle tribute may have been my favorite of the night. Patti is one of my favorite all time singers ever so I was just excited for the tribute...but I was worried cuz it's not too many people that can sang one note that Patti can. Cee-Lo Green as Patti LaBelle...HILARIOUS (and he sounded good too). LOVED IT! Marsha Ambrosius' voice is awesome. Always been a fan - her album is grrrreat. She did an excellent job. Shirley Caesar looked like Glenda the Good Witch and sang.her.ass.off. Patti is more than deserving of her Lifetime Achievement Award. SANG PATTI!

11. Ummmmmm, BET. Really? Seriously? Ya'll don't know who the winners of the awards are? How could there be such a major confusion between Chris Brown, Rihanna and Drake? Then you literally have the wrong dude accepting the award like he really won it? WOMP WOMP. That is, how would you say....ghetto. Total jackasses. WHY BET?!

211626225543 by yardie4lifever2

The girl chosen to present the award tweeted:
The tablet fuckin said CHRIS BROWN….the TELEPROMPTER said Rihanna. What the FUCK?????? Goin home.

I wouldn't go home. I would make sure they give me er'thing in the celeb gift bags and a few bottles to ease the embarrassment caused by their triflin asses. Then I would make sure they got me into all the after party parties and I would tell anybody who would listen what major fuck ups work at BET. At least you got yourself 2 minutes of fame and who knows, maybe BET will give you a job...I mean, you've shown you know how to read - whether it is on the tablet or the teleprompter - and that seems to be the minimum criteria. Anyhoo, congrats to Chris Brown for being the real winner and for winning er'other award he won.

12. Queen Latifah looked great! Like she really looks good! I believe that was worth mentioning.

13. I'm excited for the new show with Traci Ellis Ross and Malcolm Jamal Warner. A happily married couple, doctors, with three cute kids. I could use some Cosby-like TV on my TV.

14. Oh and um, Beyonce. Is there really even anything to say about her? She's the epitome of "ain't no sense in doing this shit if I'm not gonna smash it, shut it down, murder it and look daaayum good while I do it." SHE'S A BEAST!!!! Even if you don't like her songs, her stage situation has you singin along, wavin your hands from left to right, and staring at her , mouth open, all caught up like she isn't real. Bitch does run the world and with good reason. It's almost not fair. But it's not her fault she's as good as it gets and as good as its been for the last however many years (see #9. Er'body else are bootleg versions).

There's more I can say but that's enough.

If ever my mood is fittin' and I'm compelled to say what I mean and mean what I say, I'll say it again. And what?

Be well bitches.

My New Favorite Commercial...

2010-02-12T15:56:00.003-05:00

Seriously, how fabulous does Aretha look eatin a Snickers in the back seat??!! And you know what, I become a damn diva when I'm hungry too. Next time, I may actually just reach for a Snickers or a Milky Way or some Skittles, or some Cheez Its or....

All I know is, I can't believe Aretha fit in that back seat and looked so pretty and was actually acting funny!!! Respect, Ms. Retha. Respect.

Intervention For My Ex....

2010-02-02T12:40:00.004-05:00

I HAD to post on this on because Intervention is one my most FAVORITE shows. When I saw last week's Intervention and it turned out to be Robbie from the group City High you know I clutched my pearls, felt my eyes grow wide, and remained shocked, rupauled, and slacked jawed for the remainder of the episode. It is one thing to watch Intervention and feel the pain of the addict and the family BUT to feel like you actually know the person - a once semi-celebrity - just puts a whole new spin on it.

So anyway, I'm sure you've all heard or seen a clip or something by now. Robbie is a full fledged loser and ree-diculous drunk. He drinks all day er'day and not even with a splash of cranberry or OJ. Gallon bottles of Vodka straight to the head. It was beyond sad to watch. He says that he became an alcoholic after Claudette Ortiz, the hot girl in the group, left him for Ryan, the guy who SANGS "Oh Happy Day" in Sister Act 2 and was the third member of City High. Then she not only dated Ryan, but she married him a year later. Of course we were all like that is so fucked up! Who does that? I mean I know you can't always determine or help who you fall in love with, but really? You leave him for the other group member? How is that really supposed to work? Is he really supposed to get on the stage withchya'll er'night singin bout Caramel knowin that his Caramel is now fuckin his friend and group member? Seriously, something in that milk just ain't clean.

On the flip side, no one can be blamed for Robbie's choices. He is an alcoholic because he wants to be. Claudette didn't cause him to start drinking his life a way. He had a traumatic situation in his life, as we all have or will have, but that doesn't mean you become a drunk or a crack head. Especially not when you have a GIFT that has been recognized and acknowledged? Why not keep singing? Sing about your pain, use your gift? Why let some chic and a dude be the "reason" you destroy your life and your purpose in this world?

So all that to say...Claudette decided to speak out and this what she had to say:

On Why She’s Speaking Out:
Initially I wasn’t going to say anything… & I think that stemmed from fear because of the relationship I had with Robbie… it was an abusive one. He portrayed it like it was a “lovely romance” & it wasn’t. I just want to move on & put things behind me. Other people may be in the same position I was in… & if you don’t eventually stand up for yourself it can carry on for the next 12 years… like in my case. It was time to tell the truth… the truth that he so conveniently left out in the intervention.

On how she felt after watching the intervention:
I didn’t watch it when it came on but then all this stuff started popping up on the internet & when I decided that I was going to do this interview I had to watch it… I’m being used a scapegoat for his failure… he didn’t appreciate me, City High… I saw him on there talking about the red carpet… he didn’t appreciate the red carpet… I’m 18 years old living my dream, we were nominated for a Grammy & here is Robbie drunk… drunker than I’ve ever seen, I’m hoping we don’t win because I didn’t think he could control himself if we had to go on stage an accept the award.

On how she linked up with Ryan:
Ryan was always a good friend to me… when Robbie & I broke up people were always saying things about me & Ryan would defend me so I was looking at him like he was my hero. It got to the point where I didn’t even want to be alone with Robbie… One time he threw a champagne bottle & again I had to move out of the way to prevent from getting hit. People thought he was going to hurt me because of how he treated me. Ryan was the total opposite… he has a lot of respect for women.

On her relationship with Ryan and Robbie:
They weren’t best friends like Robbie likes to try & make it seem… Robbie was my teenage boyfriend & it wasn’t like I just hopped from one to the other… I married Ryan & was with him for 9.5 years. I got with Ryan because Robbie was an alcoholic… & the way he treated me. If I had a man now that had problems with alcoholism but treated me good, I’d stick around & help him through it.

On the group’s break up:
I left the group in June 2003… he knows my reasons… he wanted to stay in the group… maybe that’s why he blames me. But if me leaving because I didn’t want to deal with the nightmare anymore is a bad thing, then I’ll take that. I’d been dealing with it since 1998 all the way through to 2003. I don’t know many solid women that can deal with that for so long… I even initially took the blame… I remember doing the Wendy Williams show & accepting all responsibility for the breakup because I didn’t want to talk about the truth… I don’t think he expected me to say anything… but I’m not that little girl anymore. I’m not weak, I’m a grown woman. I have children, got married, divorced… you have to stand up for yourself & that’s what I’m doing.

Claudette also claims that she broke up with Robbie before they put out their first single and had been broken up with him for a year before starting a romance with Ryan, which contradicts Robbie’s story on A&E.

I believe Claudette. She was 18 years old and she left the abuser for the nice guy. It was easy, it was convenient, and at the time it probably made a lot of sense. I still think it wasn't a bright idea and she shouldn't be blamed for Robbie's actions or his alcoholism.

If she does come out with a new album, can you imagine if there is a song about this? The song could be called, "He Was Drunk...So I Married His Friend"...or sumtin like that. I would listen....on repeat.

What Would You Do If Your Lover Leaves You For His Wife?

2010-01-22T13:13:00.007-05:00

Make big ass billboards and post them on buildings in three major cities of course!! 41 year old YaVaughnie Wilkins got pissed when her married boyfriend decided to end their affair and return to his wife. The married man happens to be businessman Charles E. Phillips, who also happens to be an advisor to President Barack Obama. How bout that.

She spent $50K of her own money to create these billboards and post them in NYC, Atlanta and in San Francisco where Mr. Phillips lives. She also included a quote said to her by Mr. Phillips: “You are my soulmate forever!”

Note to jumpoffs, mistresses, hos and heffas: they will always tell you what they want you to hear as long as you keep fuckin them. I mean, duh.

Note to YaVaughnie Wilkins, you could have spent your $50K on maybe rezsughin your weave piece and find you a man who isn't married. Just a thought. But you do get an A for thinkin big tho....made me giggle.

Did You Ever Think You Could Sit On Someone...

2010-01-22T13:07:00.004-05:00

Congrats Mo'Nique!!!

Mo’Nique wins a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Precious. Nothing much left to say except, well deserved.

Why Everyone Loves A School Play....

2010-01-11T13:25:00.002-05:00

No school I've ever gone to would have even attempted to put on "Peter Pan". Figuring out how to make people fly and keep the set in tact would have just been way too much. This is why we stuck to just doing "Fame," over and over again.

And I always love the crying babies and the people who talk throughout the entire play. That is how you know you are officially at a school play. Fun times.

Flavor Flav Might Be The Reason I Really Quit This Bitch

2010-01-07T14:25:00.005-05:00

You know, everyday I hope to find something worth bloggin about. I get messages from some of you asking just where da fuck am I and why I'm not posting as much as I used to. There are many answers to that question but the real and most important reason is....this world makes me need a cocktail of Pepto, Alka, and a splash of brown juice. I know I say I can't, regularly, but seriously people...I can't.

I thought watching Mariah be a drunken 15 year old was enough for me. She accepted two awards more than a lil tipsy and/or after poppin special PEZ - one for her role in Precious (which she doesn't deserve...anybody could have wore a lil mustache, frumpy clothes, had a make-up less face, and sat there and looked at Precious' files) and last night she won the People's Choice award for favorite R&B singer (Ummmmm, how in da fuck did she beat Beyonce? Her last song was a tribute to Eminem being mad at her.)....

I even thought having to hear about how Tila fuckin Tequila, whose name I shouldn't even know, is spending her days getting press off of the death of her "fiancee" Casey Johnson on Twitter was enough for me.

But no, I come across this new video by Flavor Flav singing a R&B song and my Audrina eyes and slack jaw just became too much for me. Really Flav? REALLY?

I don't understand. When did delusional become the thing to be? I want to laugh - mkay, I did giggle at first but then I just couldn't. It.is.too.hard. My brain is suffering from the pointless and no longer entertaining crap that is shared over and over again all day.

And then of course, just when I say I'm done, I catch an episode of Bad Girls and watch in amazement how Natalie shows how fugtasticals just need to be confident and they too can run L.A. and be friends with no names like the little brother on Moesha and have sex with a Boston Celtic who can't even close his mouth cuz his teef are too big.

I also watch Jersey Shore and have to stop myself from fist pumping, letting my rolls hang over my short shorts, and hittin up the tanning salon - SIKE. I just watch to see if Snooki will get decked again.

And because of this, I know that I'm in a vicious cycle of being addicted to the very thing that I hate - senseless bullshit. So I guess I can't ever really quit but you guys can thank Flavor Flav for my continued hibernation.

Miss u, luv u, mean it.

Is Teddy Riley Really Explainin' Da Beat Down On TMZ?

2010-01-04T13:07:00.003-05:00

Yes. Have mentioned that I can't? SMDH.

How funny is it that the TMZ guy doesn't even care about Teddy's pointless explanation and would have much rather been watching why that car screeched to a halt. Damn Teddy...

2010 Begins...& Tiger Woods Gets Gully

2010-01-04T12:55:00.003-05:00

Is this shirtless, mean muggin, iron pumpin Tiger Woods supposed to explain why he couldn't keep his wee wee out of fugly cocktail waitress' coochie? The year starts and I can't. Sell your mags Vanity Fair.

Teddy Riley Beat His Daughter With A Rock Band Guitar

2009-12-30T09:15:00.005-05:00

As in the video game Rock Band. He took the guitar and beat the shit out of his 18 year old daughter. Why you ask? Seems Teddy, his daughters, and his new girlfriend were beefin....ON TWITTER. First of all, what grown ass man goes back and forth with his daughters on Twitter? I'll never understand why anybody does anything on Twitter, but WHY Teddy Riley, would you put your bizness with your children on blast on the bullshit that is Twitter???!!! I can understand the daughters going in on the girlfriend and telling her she's a gold digger and to stay in her land and play her position...I mean they are all like 18 and 20 years old (and yeah, Teddy's girlfriend is the same age or very close to the same age as his daughters) and this is what youngins do all day but damn you Teddy Riley. And maybe if his daughter was a son, I could see him beatin his ass like a man, but why would you beat your daughter down like she's some bitch off the street because of some new lil girl in your life???

But wait...Teddy and his daughters and girlfriend all fight on Twitter, somewhere in the middle of all of that, he leaves, goes and beats his daughter's ass, kicks both of them out of the house, and then gets back on Twitter to let everyone know what he did and not to bite that hand that feeds them. I am simply beyond shocked and Ru Pauled. I'm disgusted. My side eye, screw face, and unhinged jaw are all poppin off. I can't.

I think the Internet is the devil. No Diggity.

Should you want to see the entire Twitter reediculousness, Necole Bitchie has it all. Happy Holidays.

Just Asking...

2009-12-17T09:22:00.001-05:00

How is that bow attached to that baby's head?

Seriously, Why Do We Even Have Relationships?

2009-12-17T09:03:00.007-05:00

If it's simply for the sake of procreation, this world has been going to shit and only continues to sink to the depths of hell, so we can stop. The fighting and the cheating and the treating each other like hot pieces of shit is no longer necessary. How bout we just stop. It's OK. Really.

Chris Henry, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, is in beyond serious condition and fighting for his life after fighting with his fiancee and jumping on her pickup truck as she tried to drive away. He ended up falling out of the bed of her pickup truck. Ummmmm, seriously, why is it ever that serious? You got Tiger running away and smashing up fire hydrants and now you got Chris Henry jumping on the back of pick-up trucks. Just let a motherfluffer run people! If they are trying to escape and drive away, let them! Just Daauym.

Pray for Chris ya'll.

UPDATE: He died. 26 years old. Sad. Sigh....

So You Think You Can Dance: Holy Shizz

2009-12-16T22:06:00.004-05:00

I'm speechless. Wow. America voted for the Black Krumper wit dreds. Leaps and Bounds didn't win. The leapin, spinnin, boundin, splittin Jakob didn't win. I have no words because this is the biggest shock of a win in the history of SYTYCD. Russell danced his ass off this entire season, he wasn't my favorite, but I'm happy for him. When I think about it, Russell had the most to learn of all the dancers and managed to excel at every style of dancing. Leaps and Bounds didn't kill a Hip-Hop like Russell managed to smash a Contemporary or Jazz or even a Fox Trot. Russell deserved this win. Yay Russell! I never even thought about Russell winning. Russell. Wow.

P.S.

Ellenore should have been 3rd runner up but I'm happy she beat Ryan and Ashleigh and I can still watch SYTYCD.

When will someone put Jennifer Lopez back On the 6 and send her away forever never to return?

Mary J. Blige 2009 looked way better than her imitation thru the years Marys.

OH and I totally forgot to mention that Leona Lewis sounded horrible. That song is horrible. All of it...Horrible.

Oh HELL & NO!

2009-12-16T08:49:00.005-05:00

A frustrated teacher cut off a little girl's braid!

Seriously, she's in first grade! If you get that frustrated maybe you shouldn't be a teacher. If you don't know how to take a deep breath in and do 1,2,3, what the heck is bothering me and then breathe out and say 3,2,1, what is bothering me will be done, then you need to choose a new profession. Kids get on your nerves. It's what they do! Don't bring your personal problems in the classroom bitch! Cuz you know her frustration is just misplaced anger cuz she just found out her man is cheatin on her silly ass and she really wants to cut off the hair of her man's ho.

I'm actually happy the mom was able to stay calm because had that been my child, that teacher bitch wouldn't have a hair left on her head nor a toof in her mouth.

A mess.

So You Think You Can Dance: This is it!

2009-12-15T20:35:00.003-05:00

So I don't have time to actually re-cap er'body's routines and at this point, I don't think it matters. Everyone danced well but the best male dancer is Leaps and Bounds (aka Jakob) and the best female dancer is Ellenore. No matter what style of dance, no matter what choreographer gives them some bullshit, these two are deliberately amazingly amazing in the most technically entertaining, exciting, reediculously talented and fabulous way.

All that to say, Jakob is the best dancer of the whole bunch. He should be winner of So You Think You Can Dance.

But America fucks it up all the time anyway....

All I know is....if Ashleigh gets even close to winning, I vow to never watch SYTYCD ever again. Ever. never.again.

So I'll wait til tomorrow to be officially pissed.

So You Think You Can Dance: I Can't! Da Wuh?! Ummmmm...

2009-12-09T20:41:00.005-05:00

I think it might really be time for me to let go. America ruins it all the time. How in DA FLUCKIN HELL did Ashleigh make it into the finale, without even performing, over Ellenore who is the best female dancer in the whole group. HOW?! Yes she's a lil tardy and speaks in an alien voice, but she's hot and she can dance her ass off ANNNNNDDDDDD when she dances with Leaps and Bounds aka Jakob, she makes HIM better (if that is even possible!) instead of tryin her best to keep up and skippin around the stage while he leaps, spins and bounds around her. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN, NO WAIT, THEN...just when it can't get any worse, some Korean pop singing group "The Wonder Girls" perform and they are the worst piece of shit performers EVER. No for real, for real, the worst.piece.of.shit.performers.ever. HOW IN DA FLUCKIN HELL does So You Think You Can Dance have a group of non-singing ass singers who are the most NON-DANCING ASS DANCERS on the show? What sense does that make. Seriously? I just need to know. The choreography was literally swaying side to side and finger shaking. I CAN'T!

I don't know if I can keep watchin this show. This show makes my stomach bubble. Sigh...

Anyhoo...I guess the good news is that Ellenore made it to the finale. So peace out Mollee. She shouldn't be sad. She's friends with the High School Musical people. She's gonna be in the circus. She'll be fine. And she needs to thank the deaf people that got her as far as she did. One time for the deaf vote.

The SAD news is that Ryan somehow made it to the finale and Legacy is GONE. I'm confused. This is so wrong. Scuse me while I go drink a bottle of Pepto.

Is This A SNL Skit?

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 8 is Gre8!

2009-12-08T20:08:00.003-05:00

So Ashleigh's shoulder popped out and couldn't dance tonight...yet, we're still supposed to call in and vote for her. Um, she spent the first few weeks as Leaps and Bounds' (aka Jakob's) prop. Unless somebody fucks up royally, hell and no.

So let's see, shall we?

Kathryn and Ryan

Kat and Ryan start the night off with a Disco. Ya'll already know that unless these two can top best of all time Brandon and Janette's Disco from last season, then I'm over it...and I'm over it. Next.

For their second routine they get a Cha-Cha. Nice song selection (Put ya hands on me by Joss Stone...love me some Joss.) Anyway that was pretty great. Super energy, nice partnership, and they technically hit the Cha-Cha moves. I'm just not excited about them. I did love that final move where he was holding her upside down with the one leg and he held that position. That was hot.

But is Mary fuckin kiddin me. She put Ryan and Kathryn on the hot tamale train and not Legacy and Ellenore. Mary and her big ass teef need to go somewhere.

Mollee and Jakob

I thought this was an interesting pairing. Mollee and Jakob start with a Viennese Waltz and first let me just say that Vanessa Carlton's song "Ordinary Day" is still one of my faves so I literally sang and watched Mollee and Jakob create dancing fabulousness. That was so pretty. Great choreography but it's still Leaps and Bounds. He has this way of taking even the simplest steps and making them grand and then of course his leaps and his bounds...He's friggin amazing. And he made Mollee look like she could actually keep up with him. That spin at the end where he just holds her around the waist and she held on to his hips...that's dance people. Fantastic.

So now Jakob and Mollee do Broadway. You know Leaps and Bounds will tear some Broadway up...and he did. I didn't like the song selection(it was a remixed song from the Annie soundtrack) BUT I was entertained and just enjoy watchin Jakob spin, leap, kick, and just kill the stage. Mollee kept up. Good for her. But I love Jakob.

I think Adam Shankman has a crush on Leaps and Bounds, I mean yes, Jakob is indeed one of the best dancers ever on SYTYCD but Adam says it a bazillion times and with a giggle. I know Adam...

Ellenore and Legacy

Mkay. Ellenore and Legacy...this is exciting. But then we learn they are doing a Travis Wall Contemporary routine for their first piece. My mouth is agape. Where da hell do I friggin begin? Dare I whoooooooo like Mary. WHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW. OK, first of all, the concept: Legacy and Ellenore are married assassins who are in love but are tryna kill each other. Ellenore's costume was sexy as hell and she's fuckin hot. Legacy was the damn man. That head stand on the table when he lands on top of her and she slides up under him...YES!!! They hit their marks reeeediculously and they were so passionate, so sexy, so hot, so serious, so majorly sick. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Legacy and Ellenore get a Nap and Tab Hip-Hop number for their second routine. OMG, did they not luck da fluff out tonite or what?! Well, not really. Not my favorite Nap and Tab routine. Legacy and Ellenore did what they were supposed to do but the concept of the choreography was about weird strange people or something and I think it made it a bit hard to focus on the actual dancing, not to mention that Legacy and Ellenore are better than that routine. So that makes me mad...especially since Nap and Tab are the usually the bestest with their concepts. Dammit.

Ashleigh and Russell

Why come Russell's partners always get hurt and he always ends up with a fat girl replacement? Anyway, their first routine was a Shane Sparks Hip Hop routine and Russ was workin it out as he always does. He was makin it do wut it do, tryna show us all that he don't care who is partner is, he was gonna smash it. He definitely gives 1,000%. Go Russ!

Russ and "Ashleigh" get Bollywood. Russell doin Bollywood....I don't need to see that again. With that said, Russ worked it out like he always does. He makes everything fun and exciting and he does it all with a smile on his face throughout the routine. Not to mention, technically he was amazingly on point. He has dancing personality for days. How can you not love Russ?!

So in my opinion, the married couple needs to go home. Ryan and Ashleigh, it's your time. I got it right last week...who knows if that will happeb again. All I do know is that Ellenore and Jakob are the best male and female and that's just that. Legacy and Russell should get votes too.

We'll see tomorrow!

I can't.

Tiger "Da Fuckin Idiot" Woods....Sigh

2009-12-03T10:57:00.005-05:00

I totally didn't want to post anything about Tiger Woods. I'm not a fan of Tiger Woods, never have been and never will be. The moment he refused to acknowledge, with his Black as night father standing right next to him, that he was Black but that he was "Cablasian" I was done with somebody's Tiger Woods. Yes he has a Black father and an Asian mother and his Asian side should be acknowledged, but I know way too many mixed people who say I'm Black and White or Black and Asian. I mean our President will be the first to tell you he knows he is a Black man. This NEGRO refused and refuses to even utter the word Black to define himself. Ah hell, but this isn't even about race...or is it?

Side note every time I type Tiger I think of the Chris Rock movie that I didn't see where in all the promos he would slide out wit a golf outfit on and go 'Tiger, Tiger, Woods Ya'll!' Memba that?

Anyhoooo, when this bullshit about Tiger came out, I really didn't think it was as dramatic as everyone was making it out to be. I mean, he wasn't Balloon Boy or anything. Wasn't like he crashed the White House State Dinner. He just crashed into a fire hydrant. Who gives a shit? But then of course, the skanks he's been fuckin start hittin up the tabloids and now it all makes sense. But even still, I was telling my friend, that one bitch said she had text messages and voice mails and I was telling her that there is no way that Tiger is that stupid. He's an annoying jackass, but seriously, leaving detailed messages and texts? Come on now...there is no way. Even high school dudes know not to leave that kind of trail.

Oh but how wrong I was. You all know by now that Tiger is a dumb negro. AND all his bitches are fugly as hell. Like don't you supposed to step your game up? Shouldn't you be goin after what you don't have? ANYBODY CAN FUCK A FUGLY COCKTAIL WAITRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are Tiger damn Woods! You got a million dollars in your pocket as change. Seriously, dude, you can see tiny golf holes from miles away and know how to swing a friggin club to get the ball in that hole BUT you can't see a fugly bitch serving beer ain't gonna be nothin but trouble and totally not worth the nut???!! Come on, dude. Tiger needs more people...badly.

Anyhooo, I'm only posting this now because every radio station I listened to this morning was talking about this damn story because it's not like it's the NBA player who you would expect this from. Black man cheating on his Black wife from the hood. NO, this Tiger, Tiger, Woods who is 'Cablasian' who has a snow white wife, who plays the white man's game, and is seen as the perfect individual. How could he go and fuck this up? Or did he? Isn't he just another athlete who is superior in his sport but has no common sense or knowledge in how to go about cheating? All of Tiger's sponsors are supporting him. Gatorade, EA Sports, Nike, and Gillette all say they are gonna stand by their man. So I guess so. In our society money trumps morality. So I say, why are we even having this conversation? Is there a lesson to be learned here except dudes need to stop leavin evidence and hos need to keep makin sure they do. Nothing else will come of this. Nothing will change. Wives will continue to get cheated on with lowly fugly ass heffas. What else is new?

That last thing I'll say on the matter is...Big ups to Elin for gettin bout it, bustin windows, callin one of them hos at her work place, and scratchin up that dumb ass' face. Now we'll just wait and see if she sticks by him and plays The Good Wife role or if she figures out how to get half that billion.

Somebody get her on the phone with Juanita Jordan stat.

So You Think You Can Dance: Bye Noelle and Nathan

2009-12-02T22:40:00.003-05:00

Ummmmm, it's been a long time since I correctly picked the entire bottom. I wasn't sure about the girls, but I knew it would be Noelle or Kathryn and I damn sure knew that Ryan and Nathan would be in the bottom. Surprised that Ryan beat out Nathan, but then again, not really. I need to start puttin money on it, for real, for real!

Anyway, peace out Noelle and Nathan. Ya'll had some good moments but it was definitely your time.

And Noelle seriously, that cry.....really boo? Don't talk thru the tears ever again. I can't.

Why Come Free Can't Keep A Job?

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 10

2009-12-01T20:36:00.003-05:00

Tonight begins the random couples, we're finally voting for individuals, and the judges no longer decide who goes home! Let's get it!

Noelle and Ryan

Tab and Nap give these two a Hip Hop routine that had an office co-worker theme that was kinda sexy and entertaining but it wasn't the best way to start off the show. I think it was great choreography by Tab and Nap as per usual, and yeah Noelle and Ryan hit the marks and did all the moves with some power behind it, I still wasn't as into it as I could have or should have been. Neither one of them do Hip-Hop like it should be done.

Act two Noelle and Ryan get a Smooth Waltz and I was happy cuz finally Ryan gets a style of dance he is actually skilled in. I felt like I was watching a Disney cartoon with the prince and.....OMG did Nigel just take the friggin words right out of my head as I typed this shit?! Holy shiz. Anyway, it was nice and glad Ryan got to do his dance but I wasn't wowed and I think Ryan might could be goin home.

Ashleigh and Legacy

Ashleigh can no longer hide behind Leaps and Bounds and was partnered with Legacy and performed a Contemporary piece and I have to say Ashleigh tryna act like she has something to prove. That dance was angry and riveting and required serious technique...and they did it. Very exciting routine and seriously, the ending with Legacy straight up on his head was crazy. Hot.

Mkay. I did not like that at all. That shiz was a mess. For their second dance Ashleigh and Legacy get Hip-Hop and of course you automatically assume this is gonna be OFF THE CHAIN cuz it's Legacy and it's Hip-Hop. I can't even blame it on Ashleigh. This was totally the choreography and the crappy ass vampire costumes. WTF?!!! Womp Womp.

Kathryn and Nathan

Kathryn and Nathan start with a Broadway routine that was really good. It was very 50's and they were both in character and clearly found their stride. Great choreography and nice to see Nathan dancing with someone else who may have helped him bring out his style and real skill. Very nice.

This time Kat and Nate get a Rumba...and that was a sexy Rumba. I wish Nathan didn't look 12 years old because it looks like Kathryn is molesting a little boy, but even still, they worked that. Even more so, Kathryn was dancing her ass off and I felt that. Great choreography. I liked that.

Ellenore and Jakob

OMG I got real giddy when Cat announced that my two faves were partnered up! Ellenore and Leaps and Bounds (Jakob) do the Quick Step and these two are champions indeed. I think that was the best Quick Step ever on SYTYCD - and maybe I might be biased cuz I love them both so much. I really don't like this style of dance and have nothing to say about style or technique, I just know they look great and it was obvious they were workin it out. Yay! (Um Adam Shankman got excited about them being together like I did...get out my head Adam!)

OMG a Sonya Contemporary. Ellenore and Jakob. Need I friggin say more???!!! THAT WAS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE that these two can keep up with each other and make dance FANTASTICALLY AMAZING AND REE-DICULOUS!!! THESE TWO ARE SICK!!!!!!! And then not just the technique but the characters and the theme was all in the dance. It was so artsy and creative and just fuckin off the chain. I smiled the entire time I watched that. That was the best. Simply the best. I don't need to watch anymore. I'm done.

Mollee and Russell

Russ and Mollee start with a Lyrical Jazz routine and I'm just amazed at how doofy Mollee and Nathan made each other. The routine was a Mandy Moore, so of course it was spectacular (she's this seasons Mia Michaels) but seriously, Mollee danced the best she's ever danced on this damn show and Russell, he is friggin amazing. The technique and skill required to complete that dance was fantastic. Russell made Mollee better. I'm so excited for his future. That was beautiful. Loved it.

We end the show with Russ and Mollee doing a Jive and it was choreographed by Anya and Pasha. I was scared for them, especially after Ellenore and Jakob shut it down for everybody but that was a fun dance and VERY well executed! I shook my head and tapped a toe to that. I think I like these two as a couple. That was a great Jive. Enjoyed that uh-lot!

Wow people, great show! Gotta go vote. Ellenore and Leaps and Bounds aka Jakob!!!! Legacy is gettin my vote cuz his solo was the dopest.

I don't know what girl is danger, maybe Noelle or Kathryn (they are like one in the same so it won't really matter) but I know we'll be saying bye to Ryan or Nathan.

We'll see tomorrow!

Women Hold Up Half The Sky

2009-12-01T20:16:00.005-05:00

Today on Oprah, her guests were Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn who are married co-authors of Half the Sky, a book that tells the stories of women all over the world in developing countries that suffer every minute - everything from being raped constantly, starved, electrocuted (literally by wires stuck in her) to not being allowed to work or go to school.

As we obsess over why Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant or how many sales we can hit up before Christmas, we should also just make sure we take time to see how we can help. It can start by simply watching these videos.

Women do indeed hold up half the sky....

Today Is World AIDS Day

2009-12-01T11:45:00.003-05:00

The hottttness that is Maxwell says Walk in AIDs patient's shoes....

Among the many blessings I've encountered in several years in the music business is the ability to use my voice to raise awareness for issues and to help others.

My greatest joy is in expressing compassion for others. It's so important to take time away from your own circumstances and try to walk in someone else's shoes or see the world through someone else's eyes.

As part of CNN's Heroes event last week, I got to see some of the most supreme examples of this from around the world. Tuesday is World AIDS Day, and I encourage all of us to put ourselves in the shoes of those battling this disease and especially consider some of the parts of our global community that are hardest hit.

Consider this: in many countries in Africa, AIDS is the leading cause of death. This is a preventable, treatable disease, but still of the 33 million people living with this disease globally, 22 million are in Africa, and it continues to kill 3,800 people a day on that continent. But the more important thing we should consider is that this is not hopeless. There is something that can be done, and there is a way to do it.

With two pills a day that cost as little as 40 cents, a person dying in Africa from complications from AIDS can be raised from near death and given a renewed chance at life. This transformation is called the Lazarus Effect.

These two antiretroviral (ARV) pills a day are more than just medicine. They are a person's chance to get up on their feet, go to school or go to work and contribute to their communities. This treatment helps people reach their full potential and allows communities and countries to create a future.

The issue now is how do we get this medicine to all who need it. When most of the people in these locations make less than a dollar a day, 40 cents is not easy to come by. And the trained medical staff and facilities are not abundant.

This is where (RED) and the Global Fund come in and why I tip my hat to U2's lead singer, Bono, and others like him who look outside themselves to see where there are problems in the world and how they can make a difference.

(RED) works with the hottest brands, such as Armani, Gap, Apple and Converse, to make unusual (PRODUCT) RED-branded products and direct up to 50 percent of their gross profits to the Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs, with a focus on the health of women and children.

Since (PRODUCT) RED launched in 2006, it has generated about $140 million for the Global Fund. This money has been generated simply by giving shoppers a choice and asking them to choose (RED), at no cost to them. It's millions of small choices around the world adding up to big change.

This $140 million flows directly to AIDS programs in Rwanda, Ghana, Lesotho and Swaziland, the country with the world's highest HIV infection rate. It supports programs that not only provide ARV treatment free of charge, but creates access to testing and counseling and provides treatment to HIV-positive pregnant women to help ensure their babies are born healthy. These programs give people a chance for productive lives and children a chance to start life on the right foot.

This one small thing reverberates a cause with effects greater than humanly imaginable -- you should choose (RED), but there are so many other ways to give as well: educating ourselves about the issue, spreading the word or getting involved in whatever seems most personal to each of us. But what is most important is keeping in mind that there are worlds out there beyond our own and there is so much that can be done if we take a moment to walk in someone else's shoes.

The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Maxwell.

Love him.

So You Think You Can Dance: Bye Karen and Victor

2009-11-26T16:50:00.002-05:00

Karen and Victor

Um, this is the first time I actually would have won some money! I put my money on these two dancin for their lives and I knew they would be goin home. I will say that Victor surprised me with his solo...he kinda killed that, but oh wellz. It bees like that.

Happy Thanksgiving Bitches!!

So You Think You Can Dance: Plus A Lil Extra

2009-11-24T17:53:00.008-05:00

I didn't feel like addressing a couple of emails I received askin me what I thought about the American Music Awards - and why I didn't blog about it - in a separate post, because one, I think it's old news and for two, that shit was boring as hell and I fell asleep and had to watch everything the next day online. So before I begin my weekly SYTYCD re-cap I'll just say this:

I will always love me some Janet Jackson but her 8 minute medley is something that I've heard and seen before a ga-zillion times and not only that, it was missing the excitement, the energy, and fabulousness of my Janet. I'm a fan of people goin out on top. Janet may want to think about that. And even if you do gain a lil weight and must perform maybe not wear...whatever that was.

Jennifer Lopez's song sucks ass, her performance sucked even more ass, it was funny to see her bust her ass, and she needs to stick to puttin her name on smelly perfume.

Mary J. Blige gets better and better with age. I will never question her talent or "intelligents". Go Mary!

The best thing about Rihanna's performance was her outfit and laser works.

If I hear Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "NY State of Mind" one more time....

Whitney Houston is back! She sounded beautiful and looked gorgeous. Proud of Whitney!!!

And there you go.

So now let's get on with why we're really here. SYTYCD! (Sorry that I find SYTYCD way more entertaining) Two routines per couple tonight. Let's get it!

Ellenore and Ryan

The Lindy Hop...how fun! That was really cute and energetic. Who knows anything about the Lindy Hop from a technical aspect, not me that's for sure, but it looked hard without looking hard. I loved all the lifts, the kicks, and um "coffee grinders", and that final split by both of them. Awesome!!!

Next dance Ellenore and Ryan get is Broadway and these two just proved yet again how great they are. I totally believed that Ryan was the puppet master and Ellenore played the perfect puppet. They totally got into character, they were entertaining, and so believable. I have such a total dance hottie crush on Ellenore. She is a joy to watch. LOVED IT!!!

Kathryn and Legacy

A Jazz piece by Sonya. Mkay, this piece starts with Legacy doing an out of control backwards "crab walk". SICK!!!! This routine was great!!! I have to say that I watched Legacy way more than I watched Kathryn. Yes, it was smart of Sonya to add a lil dash of Hip-Hop into her routine, but I don't think it was for Legacy's benefit. It was to help make the routine even greater. Legacy doesn't need any hand outs or add-ins or extras. He is really a true dancer. And as he said, "I was dancing." Let em' know Legacy! Now, Kathryn did a great job as well especially with her split and back leg toe point. And I did like that leotard she was wearin. This is definitely one of the best routines all season. Loved it!!

So for their second piece, Legacy and Kathryn get the Viennese Waltz. Beautiful. That was gorgeous choreography and it was so beautifully executed. And wait, is Legacy crying about hope? OMG, he is soooo makin it to the top ten. I think I love him. But seriously, technically I couldn't tell what was wrong, I just knew that I thought everything they did was right.

Karen and Victor

These two lost their partners last week and are working together for the first time. They got the Tango and....Victor is way too gay for Karen. There was no hot connection, I wasn't turned on, and it was obvious nobody wanted to rip anybody's clothes off when it was over. With that said, technically I think they did very well. I think they hit their marks, they had the poise, the moves, and the look. So it was good and stuff but eh.

Karen and Victor get Hip-Hop for round two. Boom Boom Kat is back again. She's such a wonderful mess and she gives these dancers good stuff to work with. That said, that wasn't good. Karen was tryna dance her ass off and she did but something was off...and I think it was Victor. He needs to go. Not great at all.

Mollee and Nathan

The youngins start off with some Hip-Hop choreographed by Jamal Sims. I have to say, it was pretty decent. The routine wasn't technically difficult and it wasn't anything to "phone home about"...but it was aight. I like that it is obvious that Nathan and Mollee enjoy dancing with each other but I'm with Nigel...if they make it to next week, I'm so ready for them to dance with someone else. I think they young/dumb each other down dance-wise.

These two are doin The Can-Can with the help of Tyce Diorio. And wow, I'm totally impressed. I was just waitin for this to be a total womp womp but it was actually really great! And I finally got to see the Nathan that I loved from the very beginning. Nathan has skills! And Mollee was great too, and I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in Circ Du Soleil (or Circus Soil Le as my friend Tee would say) or in that kind of performing dance troupe. The dance was obviously energetic and full of kicks and spins and all that great stuff. They were great. The Can-Can prolly saved these two.

Noelle and Russell

Russ and Noelle start off with a Samba. First of all, great song selection..."Hips Don't Lie" and while it wasn't as sexy as it needed to be, they tried to make it do wut it do. You can tell they give it everything every time and that's why I love them. So wish it was better, but still get an A for effort from me. I also don't ever want to see Russell in that outfit or any outfit like that ever again.

The second time around Russell and Noelle perform a Tyce D. Contemporary piece which included paint and creating art. That was an amazing routine. They absolutely hit their marks, executed wonderfully, and effortless. And you could tell from the very first move that it was going to be worth watching. So happy they ended with such a strong routine. Excellent!

Ashleigh and Jakob

First let me say that Ashleigh is gonna miss Jakob cuz he is the reason she's still on this damn show. But anyway, their first dance is a Lyrical Jazz piece and it is another Sonya original beauty. And another opportunity for Leaps and Bounds aka Jakob to dance circles around Ashleigh. So here is the thing. I just need to know how Jakob is splittin, liftin, spinnin, leapin and boundin while Ashleigh is doin like a kick and walk? It is obvious that the choreographers enjoy giving Jakob the major moves cuz he can do them. You can't help but watch him and love him. Now I do think this was Ashleigh's best piece all season. And this piece was fantastical. Loved it.

Leaps and Bounds and Ashleigh end the night with a Cha-Cha. Finally, something Ashleigh knows how to do! This was the first dance that I actually paid attention to her throughout the dance. She managed to put Jakob in the background a lil bit. It was sexy, it was hot, it fun, it was entertaining and not much else to say but they worked that. And I stand corrected...THIS was actually Ashleigh's best piece all season. NICE!

So seriously, dancers were dancing tonight and the choreographers were giving the dancers dance! So many of them brought their best tonight like Ryan, Ellenore, Legacy, Kathryn, Jakob and dare I say Ashleigh. Even with that Can-Can I think Nathan and Mollee should be dancin for their lives but Karen and Victor are the two that I can actually put money on. And while I think Russell and Noelle's Contemporary piece was great, I think they might be in trouble too.

We shall see tomorrow! Good work people, good work!

Just For Giggles....

2009-11-20T12:19:00.004-05:00

HAHAHA! I can't! But seriously, if I was a tranny I woulda snatched that bitch's wig and crown off too. Fuck being a gracious loser. Tran Trans have rights we don't. Check the rule book: #99 - if you lose at anything, beat that ho.

So You Think You Can Dance: Bye Kevin and Channing

2009-11-18T21:00:00.004-05:00

So the bottom three couples were Channing and Victor, Kevin and Karen, and Mollee and Nathan. I wasn't surprised by any of these couples landing in the bottom but after they danced for their lives, I was surprised that Karen got picked to stay over Channing. I thought Channing's solo was better than Karen's and Mollee's AND I thought that Channing, even tho I forget about her, has done better than Mollee throughout the season thus far on a technical level. But I thought the judges would be over Karen and her "smoldering sexy". However, if anybody should have gone, it should have been Mollee BUT I knew she and Nathan weren't going anywhere when Nigel said he knew they were gonna give great solos....and Mollee did flips and stuff and because she and Nathan keep the young and deaf people watchin.

Now Nathan's solo was indeed pretty dope and Victor's solo was filled with way too many pirouettes, but Kevin didn't dance for his life and he hasn't gotten better each week (like say, Russell).

So peace out Channing and Kevin. You won't be missed, but it was nice having you. And Kevin, look into botox for that top lip. Please.

Mary J. Blige Wants To Know...

2009-11-18T14:16:00.002-05:00

Yeah, I don't know Mary. But it don't matter. You are only one of very few that can get away with the level of your "intelligents". It's fine boo. Love u, mean it!!!

So You Think You Can Dance: Childhood Memories

2009-11-17T19:48:00.004-05:00

So we get to take a look at the childhood pics of the judges and blah blah blah...I must say, Mary Murphy was actually a cute little girl with normal sized teeth. Surprising.

OK now on to the show!

Ashleigh and Jakob

So Ashleigh's most memorable performance as a child was a ballroom competition she performed when she was 14 years old because it was her last dance for six years cuz her illness overtook her body and she couldn't dance anymore. But she fought to come back and well, now she's on SYTYCD. Leaps and Bounds aka Jakob was a fat kid and started dancing and lost weight while dancing so he kept it going. I'm glad he did.

These two do a Tab and Nap Hip-Hop routine. Ashleigh doin hip-hop...really? Well, Leaps and Bounds out danced her as per usual BUT Ashleigh actually made it do wut it do! I'm shocked and RuPauled on this one. First of all, Tab and Nap came up with a HOT routine. Love the text message that starts off the dance. Great choreography that told the story. And of course, Jakob killed it.

And Nigel boo, I'm not eatin my words. Ashleigh is still riding Jakob's coat tails...she just finally danced tonight. Adam Shankman, please don't lose your mind on this one. Seriously, Adam? Ashleigh in the top ten NOT because of Jakob? Stop it. For the first damn time, da bitch danced. Relax.

Karen and Kevin

So Karen grew up in Venezuela and had some really bad hair cuts. But she grew up to be cute and learned how to dance by watching. Kevin was the oldest of six kids. He started dancing when he was 17 and was a late bloomer. He's pretty talented to be as great as he is for starting so late.

Anyhoo....they perform a Broadway number. Spencer, new choreographer, did a great job with the Broadway choreography. The problem here is that they were so focused on the routine that they didn't add the Broadway. They didn't add the characters and they didn't quite even kill the routine from the technical aspect. Yes, they hit all their marks and did what they were supposed to do, but it looked like it required lots of effort. Not horrible, but not really good.

Noelle and Russell

Russ was sangin This Lil Light of Mine as a child. He was 8 years old doin the Michael Jackson. He was actually a cute kid. Noelle broke her toofus as a child and now has a fake half tooth. She just remembers not being such a great dancer. I guess she's come a long way.

So they get the Foxtrot...again. The first time, Noelle broke her leg and Russ had to dance it with Melanie the big sexy red head. This time they get to dance it together and...I truly enjoyed them!!! These two were not on my radar at all but all of a sudden they are workin it! They made this Foxtrot fun, sexy, and entertaining. They had great lines and from a technical point of view, I think they did a SUPER job. Russell's confidence is through the roof and it shows. And Noelle looked pretty too. Excellent!

Channing and Victor

Channing did a dance as a cat when she was six and loved it. Victor was that brat kid that would get lost in the stores and mother would run around looking for him screaming "Victor!" (but he did it in the funny Latin voice.)

OK, I forget about these two every week. I think these two get really fortunate with their routines but this is the first time that I enjoyed them. They got a Tyce Diorio Jazz routine and Tyce picked great music and a told a fantastic story. They were black birds dancing in a cage. I loved the cage and how they used it to tell the story throughout the routine. I really liked this dance, I liked them dancing, and I had fun with watching that. Very cute, very fun, and executed very well. Good job!

Kathryn and Legacy

Kathryn was a shy girl who did her very first dance with her mom. Legacy was a rebel. He did what he wanted to do and his first performance was at a house party and his father gave him $5 to dance. He's been poppin and lockin ever since.

Kathryn and Legacy do a serious Pasa Doble. Ummm, I felt that. That shit was hot. And really Legacy...I was distracted by that body situation. Daayum. Anyway, I don't really know what else to say except they killed that. With the exception of Kathryn not being able to grab her ankles fast enough while Legacy picked her up and wrapped him around her at the end, everything else was executed perfectly. That was some sexy dancing right there. Check.

Mkay and this is why you don't watch TV Live. But we take a break to see what Dizzy Feet Foundation is doing. They have so far been able to give nine scholarships to dancers who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend dance school. They are having a gala to raise more money. Nice. Very nice.

Ellenore and Ryan

Ellenore was a lil sassy thing and during her first routine did everything but the routine. She's so cute. Ryan comes from a line of professional ballroom dancers and his first dance was wearing some bunny ears and bunny tail hoppin around the stage. Heehee.

Ryan and Ellenore do a Contemporary by Travis Wall. So everything Travis has put together on SYTYCD has been beyond beautiforous and emotional and simply artistically fantastic. And well, this time was no different. I absolutely believed that these two were former lovers who bumped into each other and had to re-live the drama. That was beautiful. Ryan and Ellenore were beautiful and it was effortless and technically just great. I felt that, I enjoyed that piece, and was transported to their story. Loved it.

And again, Adam shut up. Ryan might make it to the top ten but it won't be with his wife and if it is, it will be cuz of Leaps and Bounds! Geez!

Mollee and Nathan

Nathan was a brat. When he was ten, he choreographed his own dance. And started from there. Mollee was a diva who was all about curls, make-up and being grown. Now that she is older she acts like a lil kid. Mkay, great.

So these two get a pop jazz routine, choreographed by none other than Boom Boom Kat aka Laurie Ann Gibson who is now rockin an almost Cassie wit only one third of one half of her hair shaved. Anyway, that was fun to watch and waaaay better than what they did last week. But I will say that that wasn't all that great. Did not give me goose bumps. However, I will say that I think Nathan gave more this week and attempted to show us how great he really is. Mollee is just aight to me.

So tonight we finally see what these dancers can do! Finally some real choreography and real dancing! I know for sure Kevin and Karen will be dancin for their lives and will prolly end up goin home. I think Nathan and Mollee, who should have been in the bottom last week, might be in the bottom this week but you know, they are young and Nathan is soooo cute and Mollee still got that deaf vote, so one never knows.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow!

Beyonce: Video Phone

2009-11-17T12:45:00.004-05:00

Seriously, I can't wit Yonce. Her sickness is just ree-fuckin-diculous. She just shuts bitches down constantly...and it almost seems effortless. I might have been Yonce from Video Phone for Halloween had she done this shiz sooner. Side note, coulda done without the Ga Ga. I prefer that she stays in her lane with bird cages on her face. But back to Yonce, bitch is deelicious. You.betta.Work.

Did You Hear About The Morgans?

2009-11-16T17:26:00.004-05:00

Um, it might just be me but, I soooooo want to see this. OMG, it's Sarah Palin. Heehee. I could use a little less love for a while, maybe even for a few years. Hahaha. Can you imagine having to be in Witness Protection forever with the man you were gettin ready to divorce cuz you hate?! That just gives me the giggles. This is a must for me.

OctoMom is Tardy...But We Know This

2009-11-13T15:46:00.003-05:00

Not sure why I felt like sharing this, but I did. A lesson on where babies come from from da OctoMom...who got 14 babies and don't have not one story of hot sex on da platter to show for it. Such a waste.

Rihanna Makes Psycho Look Sexy

2009-11-13T15:32:00.004-05:00

No need to watch 20/20 two weeks in a row just for Rih Rih. The video was supposed to premiere tonight but it's here now. And of course it's hot. Still not a fan of the song...but I can watch this video more than a few times. Pull the trigger bitches!!!

Chris Brown Is Crawlin On Wendy

2009-11-13T12:10:00.003-05:00

Well, his video for "Crawl" debuted on the "Wendy Williams" show and I must say...I like the video and the song. And Cassie should really stick to being pretty in videos and pictures and stuff. Bitch is hot.

But in regards to to his interview with Wendy...I love how girls in the audience get all excited and screamin and whoooo for him when they know last Friday they was watchin Rih on 20/20 shakin their head at his woman beatin ass. I'm all for redemption and dude is young and he should be given the opportunity to heal, change, and grow but I struggle with listenin to him say he wants to keep his feelings about what happened private (when he was the first one goin on Larry King and Angie Martinez and MTV etc.) and how he's a changed person cuz of anger management. That shiz is a life long journey. You don't heal from that over night. You aren't just all of a sudden better cuz you singing songs about crawlin to get back to where you want to be. I dunno...I like the song and I want him to get better and become a grown man but something about him isn't sincere to me and I'm sorry...I'm Team Rih Rih (porno album covers and all). Crawl bitch, crawl.

Much Better Alicia Keys. Me Likey.

New Muziq: Letoya's Regret

2009-11-12T13:50:00.003-05:00

I regret that no one will care about this video. But she looks gorgeous as per usual and I love this song. Keep tryin Toya!

So You Think You Can Dance: Bye Pauline & Peter

2009-11-12T13:32:00.003-05:00

Another tapper bites da dust. That shiz was rough! First of all, Nathan and Mollee should have been in the bottom three but I told ya'll Mollee was gonna get the deaf vote and Nathan is just hot. What are ya gonna do? So that meant that Peter & Pauline (which I was kinda shocked about), Karen & Kevin, and Ellenore & Ryan (definitely not a shocker) ended up in the bottom. And not nan one of them danced for their lives. They was good but all of them coulda went home. Nigel ain't neva lie when he said did ya'll not see Ade dance his ass off er'time???? You betta come harder bitches.

Pauline and Peter

Good To Know Alicia Keys...Cuz Um, Me No Likey.

Sammy Is Bleaching His Skin

2009-11-11T12:01:00.006-05:00

I saw this pic a few days ago and thought it was some kind of photo shop bullshiz. But really, I could care less about Sammy Sosa so I ignored it and went on about my readin. Well today I learn that Sammy has admitted that he does indeed bleach his skin. He went on Univision's "Primer Impacto" talk show and said "It's a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some. It's a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I'm not a racist, I live my life happily." Sammy would not name the cream divulging only that it came from Europe and that, "I'm going to market it, I'm a businessman."

Well I'll be. I really thought after Michael, LaToya was the last of the bleaching cream Mohicans. Sammy is actually going to promote this shit. But I don't understand how. I mean at least Michael, if he ever admitted to using the cream, would have said I have the skin disease vitiligo and this cream helps me even my skin out. What is Sammy's reason for using the cream? Is it not damn near 2010? Are people really still bleaching their skin?! I could have sworn it was determined that Black was beautiful dumb long ago. I mean just Daayum. UGH.

Rihanna is HARD

2009-11-11T11:45:00.004-05:00

Mkay. Just the other day I was talkin bout how much I'm feelin Rih Rih and how I'm really preciatin her grown woman steez. And I'm all about takin shiz to the next level, growing up, and becoming who you want to be...but why must her cover of her new single look literally and metaphorically like straight up porn. Why must she be ass out for real for real? Cooch out too? I mean, Rih. We get it. You're hot, you're sexy, you're young, and you won't get your ass beat anymore...unless it's during foreplay maybe? I dunno Rih Rih. Just when I get excited about you....

I'm scratchin my head on this one....

And can the music at least be good?

So You Think You Can Dance: What Should America Know BoutChu?

2009-11-10T20:03:00.005-05:00

First just let me say to my friend Tee...I was so wrong. The show is still two hours. And second, can Ade try to get anymore air time? A few members from last season were in the audience and er'time they showed anybody else in the audience, Ade somehow managed to be cheesin. Anyhoo...they will be performing, along with dancers from Dancing with the Stars and dance crews from America's Best Dance Crew for the Dizzy Feet Foundation on November 29th. For more info or to donate go here: http://www.dizzyfeetfoundation.org/

OK now on to the show!

Karen and Kevin
We learned that Karen and her husband decided to get a divorce after he got cut from Vegas. She said they were having problems before and they grew apart but something tells me that he was hatin and couldn't deal with her makin it and him sittin at home watchin her live their dream. It happens...and she don't seem sad about it. I am so Team Karen! I think Kevin said something about dancing on the Wall of China but I get so distracted by the fact that he doesn't have a top lip that I don't learn much from him.

Anyhoo....they did The Hustle. Now for the most part, I thought they did a good job. I like their partnership, they looked like they were having fun, and they were handlin their steps and owning the performance. BUT I feel like we've seen some WAY better Hustles on SYTYCD. I was kind of bored. I did get a lil interested when I thought he almost dropped her at the end...that would have been really entertaining. But anyway, not great but good. Really good.

Ashleigh and Jakob
So we learn that Ashleigh is a nerd cuz she studied Political Science and History in college and had an internship. Isn't that what most people who go to college do? I thought she was gonna tell us that she knows she is no where near as great a dancer as Jakob is and she wishes he didn't out dance her every week. Then we learned that Jakob's best friend is Jeanine...winner of last season. I still think Brandon was robbed and I'm not over it. I wish Jakob had told us what kind of eyeliner he wears. You know, something useful.

Anyway, they got Jazz. A routine choreographed by Mandy Moore. They had to dance with a cane. My friend calls Jakob "Leaps & Bounds" cuz he out dances Ashleigh consistently by leaps and bounds. The cane was totally unnecessary cuz Ashleigh is his prop. I think this is the first time that she showed she could keep up with him a little bit but I think that is only cuz Mandy's routine had Jakob a tad on simma and workin wit two props. Even with all that, I thought it was a cool routine, not as jazzy as I was expecting, but I enjoyed that.

Pauline and Peter
So we learn that Peter volunteers his time teaching disabled children how to dance. So he's cute and helps the challenged. How can you not love him? Oh Peter. And Pauline eats a lot. She is one of those that is constantly eating but by lookin at her you can't tell. Wasn't there something way more interesting than that to share? I mean you still want the fat vote Pauline! How many fat bitches are gonna hate that you get to stuff your face all day and still weigh 92 pounds? And they got the Quick Step aka The Kiss of Death, just off GP I was already thinkin she will be dancin for her life.

But I actually enjoyed that routine! First of all, Peter looks too cute in that uniform and Pauline really looks like a cute Hula girl. Perfect concept, great story line, and they stayed in character. The choreography was great and it worked for their partnership. I had fun watching them and they look great together. I hope they are not dancing for their lives. CUTENESS!!!!!

Kathryn and Legacy

So we learn that Kathryn likes to help people so she went on mission trips to Costa Rica and built sidewalks for the poor. Legacy was supposed to be a soccer player. He was scouted, got scholarships, but chose to focus his energy for soccer into his dance. Yeah um...their routine better be great.

They got Broadway and um....it was pretty good. I thought Legacy was great and showed a lot of technique and character. While I think Kathryn danced well, I think her performance was a lil lacking. Like I agreed with Adam Shankman's critique in that she was so busy tryna be cute and adorable that she forgot she was supposed to be mad at him and fighting for his attention. So I think Legacy out danced Kathryn BUT I think they work well together and I liked it.

Channing and Victor
So we learn that Channing raced lawn mowers as a little girl. Like was in the newspaper and er'thing. Her daddy would set-up obstacle courses for her to practice on. Did so well she won a trip to Disney World. That's country as hell but it was smart to share that info. You know the country mofos don't have shit else to do but vote. So, well played Channing. Victor, whom I forget about all the time, told us that he went thru a Goth stage and then grew out of it. Ummm, so?

So they got a Contemporary routine choreographed by Stacey Tookey and technically, I thought it was beautiful. Great choreography and just an overall wonderful piece. I thought that for Victor and Channing to be partnered together for the first time, they did a fantastic job. BUT...the whole time I was wishing that somebody else danced this number. Like if Jakob had gotten this piece can you imagine the leaps and bounds he would have taken it? There are just other dancers that would have taken this routine to the next level. So while I thought it was beautiful choreography, I didn't feel it the way I know I could have had it been somebody else dancing.

Ellenore and Ryan
Ellenore tells us that she is made up of six different ethnicities. Didn't feel like rewinding but I heard African-American, Mexican, Hawaiian, Philippine and two others. She said she's a mutt. I guess that is something we could have known about her. She looks black to me and she's hot, so I'm just gonna stick with that. Ryan tells us that he is an extreme sports junkie and has a secret desire to be a super hero in an action movie. I know somebody who has a crush on him who just got a hard on watchin that lil clip and speakin of lil...

Lil C is back and he has them doin a manifestation of his calculations by way of unification and reverbertaion to bring together a Hip-Hop creation. And Ryan fucked that up. In a bad way. He's cuh-learly not a Hip-Hop dancer but he tried. A for Effort tho. Ellenore handled her biz and worked it out. I wasn't that impressed with the routine in general and that had nothing to do with Ryan or Ellenore...that was all Lil C. They might be dancin for their lives.

Mollee and Nathan
So come to find out Mollee is deaf in her left ear. You know you got skills when you can't even hear the music but you can still dance for your life. She totally got the deaf vote with that one! And Nathan told us he likes to jet ski. Boo. I wanted to know if he likes boys or girls. I mean, I think I know but I might could maybe be wrong. But how cute would he and Glambert be together?

Anyhoo....they got Salsa and while I'm impressed that Mollee can do all that being deaf in one ear....just no. Mollee isn't sexy and those characters didn't work for either one of them. They looked like two little kids playing dress up and that's not how I want my Salsa dancers to look. Like if nothing else, you have to look hot and sexy and like you know what you're doing. They were able to handle some of the technical aspects of the routines but their lines, the steps, and just the style of it all didn't work. They didn't sell that at all. And Nathan was one of my faves from the very beginning. I compared him to Brandon from last season. I'm not crazy...I didn't say he was as good technically, but very close. And he's losing my vote. He hasn't really shown me anything great and I know he has the potential to be amazing. Step up your game Nathan! With that said, I think they should be in the bottom but since Mollee is deaf, they might catch some sympathy votes.

Noelle and Russell
Sooo Noelle comes from a big family and her brother had a stroke and only has use of one side of his body and he was her dance inspiration. Mkay. Russell let us know that he isn't just a krumper but he is also a pretty damn great artist. Dude is talented. He has a future in dance or art. I like Russ.

Anyway, so new choreographer Sean Cheesman teaches them an Afro Jazz routine which is in line with the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog...except in the movie, the Princess's name ain't Noelle it's Tiana and she's Black. But I digress.....that was fuckin awesome! Best performance of the night! YES!!!!!!!!!! They smashed that! The choreography was AMAZING! Go Sean!!! And I believed Russell was the frog! He hit all his lines, he was so believable, and so technically great. I didn't believe Noelle was an African princess but I believed she could do Afro Jazz and that she was necessary to the routine. I loved it!!!! I will break something if these two end up in the bottom.

So this show was better than last week but still not as great as it should be. Is it the talent or the choreography? I think it is a lil of both. If things go as they should, Nathan, Mollee, Ellenore, Ryan, and maybe Peter and Pauline or Karen and Kevin dancin for their lives. It could be anybody other than Russell and Noelle. We'll see tomorrow!

If I see Ade's face one more time....

Yay Rih Rih!

2009-11-09T15:22:00.004-05:00

I just watched Rih Rih's interview with Diane Sawyer and I thought she was great. She comes off to me as a really smart, mature, grown ass woman. She went thru some shit that many women do and she understands the depth of it all. She was caught up in the love and being scared for him but realized that it was about her and she knew that she could not be with someone who could Chris Brown her. I really appreciated the way she expressed how it all went down, her feelings, and why she is better because of it all. I also saw on Good Morning America today that after that interview, the Domestic Violence help line calls increased by 59%. It sucks it had to happen but I'm really glad Rih Rih's drama has been a wake-up call not just to her but to many others. Yay Rihanna!

I also can appreciate that she is makin dudes cry on Twitter.

Bitchassness.

Just For Giggles...

2009-11-06T15:12:00.003-05:00

I'm late, I know this. I know you've seen this pic already. A bitch done dislocated my shoulder. Don't ask. But I'm alive and can type the following: I think even Hello Kitty is over Mariah's fat ass. Since when is tryin to be sexy on the beach chunk-ariously hee-larious?

Hopefully I'll be back to my normal post when I feel like posting in the next few days. Oh and So You Think You Can Dance.....these guys are too talented for the bullshit. I was only happy with a few routines. I was mad two Black people went home in one night, but I was not mad that the two that went home had to go. Bianca danced for her life and well, she looked like me wit my broke shoulder. Tappin doesn't mean hunch back boo!

Bob Whitfield Is Hee-Larious!

The First Lady Does Glamour

2009-10-29T11:16:00.006-04:00

And I loves it!!! She's so splendiforously fantabulous, isn't she? Lookin at this cover somehow got me excited about the holidays...or at least she makes me ready to eat all day on Thanksgiving. Anyhoo, Michelle is lookin gorgeous as per usual on the cover of Glamour magazine's Women Of The Year December issue!!! Glamour is also honoring her with a Special Recognition award for her commitment to mentoring young women.

I actually saw a lil piece about Michelle and this cover on Good Morning America this morning and this one lady was saying that if she was her advisor she doesn't think she would have advised her to do the Glamour cover because it might appear to trivialize her. I'm not sure how that is possible. The only people it would "appear" that way to are people who hate and don't see that her goal is to show the world that she might be first lady, but in her words "there's no magic to being here" and that she's a wife, mother, professional, and dedicated hard worker. She wants us to know she's just like every other woman doin the damn thing. Her husband just happens to run the free world. No biggie.

Anyhoo, Glamour offered a lil bit of what Michelle discusses in the article and my fave quote is regarding her thoughts on men:

With men, don’t be swayed by “cute”: “Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul…When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good…You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.”

She ain't neva lied. So help me ya'll. Help me look past the fug. Puh-leeeease?

Do I Need To Start Watchin Jimmy Kimmel?

2009-10-29T10:26:00.004-04:00

So I guess Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Melissa Joan Hart) got eliminated from Dancing With the Stars or something (I don't watch so I really don't know) and was on the Jimmy Kimmel show to talk about it. And for whatever reason, Jimmy got real stank with Melissa. Feelings.Were.Hurt. And I of course, giggled.

Ya'll know Sabrina cried all the way home. Where is Salem when you need him? You know who da hell Salem is. Don't dare try to act like you ain't watch that show.

So You Think You Can Dance: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2009-10-28T14:44:00.006-04:00

Mia Michaels is gone. I think I literally just shed a tear...or is that just my contact actin up? Anyway, I thought Mia was just MIA for a few episodes or something but we'd see her when it was time to choreograph the best piece of the season like she always does. I mean her and her butchy shaved head was just on selecting the Top 20! What.Da.Fudge.Mia?!?!!!

Why did you decide to move on from So You Think You Can Dance?
It’s been an amazing five-year journey and I am in a place where I have all these great opportunities that have been presented to me and I am ready to take on all these challenges. So when I was working on the show, I wasn’t able to really focus on anything else. Now I’m really focusing on these other projects that I can’t pass up. I think that’s pretty much the main reason why I left the show.

After your announcement, you appeared on the final Vegas callbacks with your head shaved. Please address all the rumors, including the ones that you have cancer. As far as me shaving my head, I just felt the need to get rid of it. I was kind of falling into a Hollywood image thing a little bit, and I just felt like it was a cool time to just start over. And that’s why I shaved it. And I had said on the show, “It’s been a difficult time,” and it’s like the last couple months in my life personally I’ve just been going through things … And then when I read those things I went “Oh no!” I do not have cancer. You can put that to rest.

Fans may be hoping this is just a break. Will you be back?
It wasn’t a break because I came to Canada and I choreographed the finale here in Canada, and I have right now scheduled to do the U.K., and Australian [versions of the show], as well as the new Canadian season three, so it’s not like I need a break because creatively I feel like I have a lot to say right now. It was just a decision that I made. It’s just something that I needed to do. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is just another step in my journey to now take it to the next level.

Do you have any regrets in that you’re going to miss a chance to work with this cast?
It’s not like I can’t go and see the family and support the dancers. In order for me to move forward in my career, sometimes we have to let go before other things can take off. Am I sad? There’s moments, of course, but I’m also doing these other shows that I still get my fix on SYTYCD because I’m still choreographing, I’m still judging, I’m still seeing Nigel. So it’s all a very positive thing.

What new experiences are you talking about and what are about to start working on?
I am right now in talks of doing my own choreography show. I’m also doing a dance musical that will probably be documented as a doc-reality show. And then I’m working on a clothing line for dancers as well as just everyday lifestyle. And I’m working on a book deal as well.

Bye, Mia. I am really not happy that this talented bunch won't be doin any Mia routines this season. But I understand that er'body needs to move on at some point...

Thank you for your excellence. And gettin on my nerves sometimes.

Um, There's A Car On The Bed

2009-10-28T11:22:00.005-04:00

So you know how you go to sleep at night and you are having that good sleep, dreamin about being Oprah's dog sitter, lettin her hair stylist do your hair, and eating caramel and chocolate pudding all day? Well this couple, two University of Nevada students, were having that good sleep only to be awakened by a car that crashed through their house and landed on top of them in their bed. Literally, the car crashed through their house and landed on top of them. Da wuh????

Seems this drunkard dumb ass thought the house was his ex-girlfriends house that she shares with her new boyfriend. The goal was to land on their bed. His bad.

The best part of this story is that, while the two were pinned to the bed with the weight of THE CAR on top of them, they not only survived but managed to not have any serious injury. Amazing.

So You Think You Can Dance: The Competition Begins

2009-10-27T20:23:00.004-04:00

So the show starts and I have to say, you know when each dancer is introduced and they do their 3 second solo? I giggled when Bianca started tappin...it was crazy to hear the tippity tap of tap shoes during the intros. But anyway, I was excited. Then we learn that Billy (aka Proactiv) got sick and is out of the competition (sad) and then Noelle done broke her leg...she prolly gotta go too. But such is life. Let the show begin!!

Channing and Phillip
Um, I was bored. Um, is this really how the show is startin? Phillip is a great tap dancer...it may not translate as well with other styles. And he and Channing didn't mesh all that well for me. And hasn't there been a dancin to 'Rockin Robin' on the show before? I dunno, might just be me but I feel like I've seen this before. Next.

Ashleigh and Jakob
Jakob is SICK!!!! I loved it!!! And not cuz of Ashleigh. She is a prop. She didn't have shit to do with it. Jakob could have done this by himself. Jakob is out of control. He is so amazing and his dancing....I had to rewind a few times just to make sure I caught his moves. In one leap his head touched the back of his toe. I love any dancer that fully displays their power, their ability, and makes you ask how did you do that?? Jakob does that. Dope.

Ariana and Peter
Hip-Hop. Tabitha and Napoleon make it do wit it do. It was cool choreography. They started off great but then it got wompy. They have to spend some more time workin with each other and learning each other's styles. Peter offered way more and hit his marks way better than Ariana did. I dunno....

Noelle and Russell
Sooooo, Noelle broke her leg. They are doin the fox trot. Melanie the choreographer fills in. At first I was like, oh no, this is gonna be hard to watch, but Russell worked it out! He's a krumper doin the fox trot and then dancin with a red headed old lady. He was high kickin and showin his lines and givin us a show. You go Russell!

Bianca and Victor
A wonderful contemporary piece. I enjoyed that thoroughly! Travis Wall is a fantabulous choreographer. I thought that Bianca did really well. Yes her tappin puts her at a disadvantage but she proved herself. She has stuff to work on, but go Bianca! Victor was excellent and in his element. I felt the performance and I felt the connection. Bianca is gonna have to come better to stay in the competition but overall, gold star!

Karen and Kevin
Do the Cha-Cha! They made Kevin take his braids out, cuz I guess you can't Cha-Cha wit braids. But I love his hair!! All he needs is a top lip. But I digress...ummmm me no likey. No more Cha-Cha to Salt-N-Pepa. Cha-Cha to "Push It" is a no-no. Karen was workin it out cuz this is what she does. Kevin tried real hard and that was obvious but it just didn't work. And again, the music. Just no.

Ellenore and Ryan
A Sonya contemporary. I liked it uh-lot! Ellenore said it might be the best SYTYCD has ever seen. No, boo. BUT that was awesome! Ryan and Ellenore work together really well and they played those characters. I think they were birds or something. Whatever they were, they were on their marks, tickin, expressing, and showing us their technique. And did I mention that Ellenore is hot? Kinda love her.

Pauline and Brandon
Mkay, so Brandon is Billy's (Proactiv)replacement. I didn't really watch the auditions but it seems that people who did watch didn't even remember who he was at all. I'll say this, they looked nice together. They had some good moves during their Smooth Waltz but um....not so much. Props to Brandon for makin it do wut it do in a day and a half, but still. Maybe next week?

Kathryn and Legacy
Hip-Hop!!! How could this not be dope with Legacy in it? I'm surprised by Kathryn...they worked that out!! That was hot! Dave Scott, who you either love sometimes or not so much, brought out da goodness. I like the concept. They were like cave man and cave woman and they stayed in character while poppin, lockin, and workin it out. Great choreography and dope execution. One more time for Dave Scott! (We played a drinkin game...if you hear the name Dave Scott one more time take a swig!)

Mollee and Nathan
I love Nathan. He's so adorable. But I've said that before. I'm gonna try not to be biased based on my baby craush on the cuteness that is Nathan. So Disco. Mkay, now I don't know if ya'll memba, but last season one of the best routines ever was Brandon and Janette's Disco choreographed by Doriana. So how can she top that? She didn't. There was major moves and high level of difficulties but...I think I'm biased when it comes to toppin that Disco by Brandon and Janette and unless you can do that, I'm not wit it. But Nathan is cute and they both have talent so I'm pumped for them and I think they did really well. I also think that Doriana does a damn good job with her Disco routines. If anybody is the hottness, it's Doriana.

Bye Brandon. Nice not knowin you. They said something about breakin rules to let him back next season.

Whatever. I think somebody knew that I was gonna break something if Russell got cut.

Good Night. Until next week!

What's Really Good Chicago?! I Mean, Daayum!

2009-10-27T13:47:00.006-04:00

Soooooo, we all know that not too long a young boy was brutally beaten and killed by his peers in Chicago (unfortunately not an isolated incident and more like a regular occurrence), Chicago lost the Olympics (A+ for Effort tho), and now Chicago is being put on blast for being racist! What da hell is goin Chi-Town?

So students from Washington University in St. Louis, MO were on a two day senior trip to Chicago (shoulda went to Jamaica like we all do) and their last hurrah was a party at a bar called Original Mother's. Problem is, when they got to the party, all 200 of the white kids were let in, and the six black kids were told they were not dressed appropriately and denied entry. (Seriously?!!!!)

One of the white kids on the student board, which also includes two of the black kids who were told they couldn't come in, went and told the black kids to go back to the hotel and change their clothes. "But the manager of the bar stepped in to say that he had made his decision and that the six men could not return to the bar even if they changed clothes." (Da fuck?!!!!) The white kid said that the black kids were dressed better than he was, not to mention, there were many white kids who had gotten in that were wearing jeans.

"The students became "more agitated" and "set up an experiment," Cutz said. Class treasurer Regis Murayi, who is black, exchanged jeans with a white student, Jordan Roberts, who -- being 3 inches shorter than Murayi -- looked "substantially baggy." Roberts approached the same manager who had turned away the African-American students, paid the entry fee and was allowed in, Cutz said."

Isn't that some bullshit?! I just can't believe it's 2009 and this ignid silly shiz is still happening. When are people going to just let it go?? The great thing is that these students aren't just going to ignore this and try to forget it. They are taking legal action and contacted the Anti-Defamation League and the Chicago Urban League.

"Washington University Chancellor Mark Wrighton sent a letter to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to express his "most intense disappointment" about the incident. In the letter -- a copy of which was provided to CNN by Cutz -- Wrighton told the mayor that he "can only imagine the humiliation and discouragement these six young students felt ... when they were turned away from this establishment because of their race."

GOOD!!!

Let my people go....

So You Think You Can Dance: The Season of All Seasons?!

2009-10-26T20:38:00.015-04:00

I think So You Think You Can Dance is under new management. Besides the fact that they were allowed (and yes, I said allowed cuz you know the judges aren't the only people choosing who gets to be on national TV and talent don't have shiz to do with it) there are six black people, three tap dancers, and a krumper.....they decided to start the competition off with a night without competition. Tonite was a night for the dancers to just dance, in their own style, and allow us all just to get them know them. And I know I say this all the time, with the exception of last season, the talent of this entire Top 20 is insane!!!!! Whoever had the bright idea of dance night just to dance deserves a gold star.

The show started with a fabulous group number choreographed by Wade Robson. It was a jazz piece, smokey cafe, battle of the 'gangs'....and they tore it up! First of all, Wade is just a badass. Secondly, great costumes. Lastly, the fact that they danced their asses off was obvious, but more importantly you could tell that each and every one of them was living their dream in that moment. I don't think I've ever noticed that or felt that from a SYTYCD collective before. I knew right after that performance that this season really wasn't going to be like any other season before it. Loved it.

Next the Hip-Hop dudes, Russell, Kevin and Legacy B-boyed it up with a routine by Tab and Nap and of course, it was off the hook. Their hip-hop skills are serious and they are seriously about da bizness of breakin-it-down. Tab and Nap seem to be able to make anybody look doper than they are, but you could tell that they all just got it and they were already fly as they needed to be. They look like they perform shiz like that for lunch. If I have to say one not so nice thing, I'm gonna say I wish they were cuter and I think Russell would look better without his locs. Loved it.

Nathan, Channing, Jakob and Ariana is group #1 of the Contemporary dancers. Tyce Diorio put together a lovely piece. Not mind blowing but lovely. I think all of the dancers were great but Nathan is my fave! First of all, I want to eat him up! He is too cute! Just adorable. While I don't think he is better than Brandon from last season, he is damn near as amazing and he has that awww shucks personality that a mean bitch like me has no understanding of but likes. Overall, nice piece, great technique displayed by all and I'm looking forward to seeing what Ariana does this season.

Bianca, Peter, Phillip are my tappers!!! You guys have no idea how excited I am that there are tappers. I took tap lessons when I was just a lil stankin ass and of all the dance classes that I took, I liked tap the best but found it to be the most challenging. Tappin ain't easy bitches! And then of course, I was in love with Savion Glover after I saw him in movie 'Tap' and when he was on Seasame Street. I would just be so amazed that this little kid could make music with his feet, even better than the adults. LOVED HIM!!! But I digress, I'm really happy that SYTYCD decided it was time to show America other forms of dance and they picked three really great tappers to do so. They also had to bring in a new choreographer. His name is Derick K. Grant and I like him. I like him uh-lot! I thought his piece was fun and taptastical(get used to that term for as long as they last on this season ya'll)!! I know that I'm going to be rootin for Bianca because she's talented and I love her personality BUT Peter is my favorite of three. I think his form, his style of entertaining, and his skill is just a bit better. Love it!

Jazzers!!! Mollee, Pauline, and Ellenore do jazz. Sonya created a cute routine for these cute lil girls. The jazz number was great, not spectacular, but I enjoyed it. I think Ellenore is hot and I thought she overshadowed the other two. I'm interested to see how these three will do but right now, my money is Ellenore.

Contemporary group #2, Noelle, Kathryn, Billy, and Victor provided us with another contemporary piece choreographed by Mandy Moore and it was great! I think the first contemporary number showcased more of the body lines, flexibility and higher level of difficulty but this number was more entertaining and more cohesive. I like Mandy as a choreographer. Of the group, I like Billy but would somebody get that boy some Proactiv? Work on those zits Billy!

Karen, Ryan and Ashleigh are the ballroom dancers. Ashleigh and Ryan are married! I don't know what that's gonna be like but I like it!! They did a sex-ay Samba routine with Ryan having to be the lead for both women. All three were fun to watch and worked it out. I will say, however, that Karen and Ryan were both better than Ashleigh. Ashleigh only made it because another dancer dropped out...and I see why. She's good but she's not the greatest. Karen is clearly in her element while Ryan was givin it. Loved it!

This season has started off sumtin serious! These dancers are fabulous!!! It's kind of like Adam Shankman said, where do you go from here? How do you get better? I think the choreographers are gonna have to stay on top of their games more than ever to make sure that they give these dancer the level of dopeness that they need to show us how amazing they are. I'm officially pumped.

So You Think You Can Dance: Black People and Tap Dancers!

2009-10-22T09:09:00.003-04:00

Mmmmmkay. I needed a break from So You Think You Can Dance. Normally there is only one season per year, and when that time rolls around I am waaaaay too pumped. This year, they decided to have back to back seasons. And well, after last season, which was the least entertaining season of all SYTYCD seasons, I just really didn't feel like it. So I chose not to watch the auditions and waited until they picked the Top 20. And I have to say, I'm in shock and now I'm beyond excited!!!

Season 6 has more Black people than ever before, including this Black girl tap dancer who should have made it last season but didn't and a Black guy tap dancer. In total there are three tap dancers and they never pick tap dancers!!!!! Way to broaden your horizons SYTYCD judges. There is also a married a couple, a Krumper, and two chics who became bestest friends during Vegas week.

So get ready people, this season might be the season of all seasons. So You Think You Can Dance? Hell and Yeah!!!!

Miss Hampton University 2009...Is Not Black

2009-10-15T09:43:00.004-04:00

Hmmmmmmmm. So I'm listenin to D.L. Hughley's HORRIBLE morning show on the radio this mornin (er'other show was on commercial) and they were talking about the Miss Hampton University controversy. And I came in on the part where D.L. is saying have you seen the picture of the winner and the other contestants? Of course she won! I don't even know how you get in a beauty contest when you look like Plaxico Burress. If I may, I'd just like to say that D.L. Hughley is the most non-funny, ignorant negroid and his show fuckin sucks.

Anyhoooo.....Seems this years newly crowned Miss Hampton University is not only not Black (she is from Hawaii and her mother is Italian and her father is from Guam) but she is also not a student on the main campus. She's a student at the Virginia Beach satellite campus. So of course, there are many students and community members who are not happy. Many are saying that if the judging system remained the way it has always been - where the students vote - she would not have won. This year, the winner was chosen by a judges panel which was comprised of two certified Miss Virginia judges, the president of Old Point National Bank, and two HU employees (a professor and freshman counselor).

Then Miss Hampton, whose name is Nikole Churchill, wrote a letter to our President, Barack Obama, and said: "I am hoping that perhaps you would be able to make an appearance to my campus, Hampton University, so that my fellow Hamptonians can stop focusing so much on the color of my skin and doubting my abilities to represent," she wrote, "but rather be proud of the changes our nation is making toward accepting diversity."

Her letter was posted on Congress.org and she did not have permission from HU to comment about the school, the students or try to contact the President directly. She is now apologizing for writing the letter and says, "I have now come to regret writing this letter and disappointing the very students that I now represent. I took the comments of a few and blew it out of proportion." Ummmmm, ya think? Seriously boo boo, just cuz you and Barack are both from Hawaii, did you really think he was gonna come to HU and tell the students to support you? Yeah about that....I think he's busy.

Anyway, as a graduate of the most fabulous HBCU there is, I have to say, while I wouldn't be pumped that a non-Black student won, if she was the best candidate in er'category and deserved it, then can you really be mad? I also believe that students should continue to be the judges in such competitions because the students should have a say in who represents them, but then it's like So You Think You Can Dance (which I've totally not watched at all this season) where the favorite dancer wins, not the BEST dancer.

So what do you think? Especially those of you that are proud HBCU alum or current students...should this even be in the news? Would you care if your Miss wasn't Black?

Does Zahara's Mama Need To Be Slapped?

2009-10-14T14:17:00.006-04:00

For a minute, I was thinking just cuz Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' (a must see) is out, people wanna be goin in on Angie and how she isn't doing what she needs to do to take care of my Baby Z's hair. My girl Dia sent me this Newsweek blog post entitled "Zahara Jolie-Pitt and the Politics of Uncombed Hair" where blogger Allison Samuels goes in on the fact that interracial adoption can get ugly...especially when you get a Black little girl and you don't do her hair. Then I remembered when I wrote an open post to Baby Z asking why won't her mama do her hair and I was ready to track her down and tomb raider her ass if she didn't slap some Carol's Daughter in her mane wit da quickness. I thought it worked cuz I haven't seen Baby Z with her hair all over head like that in a long minute.

But, I guess with recent sightings of Baby Z and with the discussion of Black women and their hair on full blast these days, it was inevitable that there would be 'attacks' made against white women who adopt/raise Black children and don't have the slightest clue where to begin in the hair care department. Allison brings up good points in that Angelina needs to be aware of and begin teaching Z that her hair, Black hair, requires maintenance and if she needs help, she could take a cue from Madonna and keep Z's hair braided or styled nicely.

(As you can see, Baby Mercy is rockin the official little Black girl cornrows and beads)

I mean, I don't think Angie is clueless and from what I can tell, recently it looks like Baby Z's hair is at least oiled and brushed. It may not be styled but I don't think it looks ratty, matted, or like a total hot mess. And if you notice...she don't even feel like doin Shiloh's hair and threw a hat on that head. I also bet that Baby Z's hair prolly starts out decent lookin and then by the time she finishes flying from country to country, gettin ice cream in Istanbul and then going back to France for french fries, and the paparazzi gets their pictures in, it's done. Just as most little Black girls hair would be.

I dunno. What do you think? Is Angie just wrong and strong with her lack of hair care? Or are people using this Good Hair opportunity to go in on Angie for no reason?

Tennis Folk No Likey Nekkid Re-Re

2009-10-12T13:07:00.004-04:00

So it seems that The International Tennis Federation is deciding whether or not to ban Serena Williams from the Australian Open and why? Just cuz she showed her hot nekkidness in the ESPN Body issue....AND because she did tell that baseline judge at the U.S. Open that if she could shove that tennis ball down her throat...yeah um, well both acts are possible violations of the sport's code of conduct. Womp, womp.

My President Won The Nobel Peace Prize

2009-10-09T17:18:00.004-04:00

Mkay, excuse my MIA situation...I've been under the weather. I hate that term..."under the weather". What da hell does that mean actually? I was under rain? I was under hail? I normally would never say that, but for some reason, I just typed it. Odd. Goodness, where are my pills? I've been sick and I'm just coming back to life...and still I rise.

Anyhoo...while in my coma, I noticed I haven't missed much. Is it just me or is shit just extra boring right now? It might just be me, as per always. I can't seem to care about a whole lot. It's fine.

With the little bit of strength I have, I just wanted to tell my president, Barack Obama, that I love him and I am so proud of him for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. While we both know you have so much more work to do, what you have accomplished thus far in your life as a man and as president makes you worthy. Those who understand that what you are trying to accomplish, not only in this country but throughout the world, is not rocket science, rather common sense and human understanding, awarded you properly. Let the ignorant ass haters hate. You just smile and nod as you board Air Force One holding your prize. Congrats boo! Luh u, mean it!

And on that note, I hope you all have a great weekend...and I'll leave you with two videos that actually kept my interest. Two different kinds of oh.wow. And yes, I'm an ignorant ass for including these videos in a post about my president winning the nobel peace prize but I had to get it all in one post cuz I'm done and I can't. Enjoy!

This Just In: A Housewife Loses Her Boo

2009-10-03T14:26:00.005-04:00

I literally JUST got finish watchin Thursdays episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta that I missed, wishin I could do more than shift Kim's tardy ass wig and stomp her in her tardy ass face and back slap Kandi for giving Kim the ability to make it seem like she actually did something other than sound like she has to sing through a hole in her neck - when I read that AJ, Kandi's ex-boo is dead. Yes, dead. He was beaten to death in the parking lot of the strip join the Body Tap Club.

It seems AJ worked at the club but nobody really knows what happened yet, however, there has been an arrest made. "Homicide detectives arrested the suspect, Fredrick Richardson, who has been charged with voluntary manslaughter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports."

Ain't this just about some shizz?!! Kandi was just about on my last nerve and now I can't even watch and be mad at her anymore cuz her boo is dead. Just dead. Beat to death in the parking lot of a strip club. All you can do is shake your damn head.

Sad.

I Just Vomited In My Mouth

2009-09-30T09:09:00.003-04:00

I wasn't planning on discussin the bullshit that is Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding. If people want to get married after a knowing each other for only a month, then great for them. What pisses me off and I what I find offensive is the fact that they are basically proving to the world that the sanctity of marriage is a joke in this country, and people care more about the the tabloid pics than the fact that this wedding wasn't even real. They aren't even officially married. They just had a 'ceremony' so that they could premiere it and get those ratings in for the new season of Khloe's show.

But what really is either sad or reediculously funny is this OK! Mag cover. How is it KHLOE & LAMAR's wedding YET the pregnant sister, Kim and Khloe are the total focus of the picture and Lamar's big ass is just barely in the background. They are all Tardy for the fuckin Party. But hey, if people were willin to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to be a douche, I'd be tardy for the party too.

Congrats. SMDH.

Isn't Black on Black Violence So 1987?

2009-09-29T15:15:00.005-04:00

Some of you may or may not have heard about the teenage boy from Chicago who was jumped and beaten to death by other teenage boys. Horribly senseless, sad, and just depressing. Just WHY?!!!

I couldn't help but think this young boy who lost his life, this boy who was an honor student and loved computers, had the potential to grow up to be the kind of man Black women dream of. The boys who killed him are being charged as adults and will spend the rest of their lives in jail have lost the chance to figure out how not to be victims of their circumstance and grow up to be beautiful, productive amazing Black men. Sigh....my ice box hurts.

Nas wrote a letter to the murderers and young men headed down the same path:

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool. Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling , that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But…

We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, fila’s , and name plate chains. Deaths over “he say she say”!!!!! “I’m from This block or I’m from that block”, or “my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay”!!!

I remember feeling like I was the hardest “n*gga” breathin. And I couldn’t wait to prove it. But let’s think. What r we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.

You have the ability and mind power to change they way we are looked at. Look who’s watching us young warriors, look who’s throwin us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Lovin to bury us in the ground or in jail were we continue this worthless war on one another. Young warriors…. We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz This movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, boys n the hood , blood n blood out, Belly!

When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS….and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I’m with you young warriors. You’re me and I’m you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war.

Super Group - Tamia, Kelly Price, and Deborah

2009-09-18T12:54:00.002-04:00

Say muthafluffin word?!!! Three of the best singers - three of my absolute FAVORITE singers (I Looooooooooove Tamia) - are reuniting to form a super group!!!! Please excuse my squeals of excitement...this is seriously like the best news ever. I mean we can all rejoice that Whitney is back, but we're all honest enough to know that she got about two more albums and some SERIOUS vocal lessons to go before she becomes WHITNEY one more gin. But there really isn't anybody (other than the fierce one...Bey) that is really sangin these days and making me play their albums on repeat like I used to do back in the day.

And this new comes after watching Real Housewives of Atlanta last night and being PISSED that Kim, Kandi and those producers are really showing the world that talent means absolutely nothing and anybody can be fuckin Tardy for the Party. UGH!!! Kim is more tone deaf than a deaf glee club with cochlear implants. Yet Kandi has stated that she can make "anybody hot" and has this silly bitch thinkin she's gonna be a hit. And knowin our tardy for the party society, she will be.

But I digress....real singers Tamia, Kelly Price, and Nobody's Supposed to Be Here Deborah Cox are power group, for right now called "TDK" and their album is called "The Queen Project" and the first single is called "Queen". I can already feel my goose bumps....

Am I the only one who is beyond ready to hear TDK???!!! Can you imagine their live show?!!

AMAZING Michael Jackson Tribute

This Yale University Junior came up with the MOST AMAZING MJ tribute ever! First of all, he can actually sing, but even more than that, he put together a reedicuslously creative tribute with an overlay of so many songs and he sounds like a friggin GLEE club! The best part is that it's all just him!! He somehow managed to sing all the parts, put it all together, and then make a video where there are like 10 versions of him on stage.

Dare I say...genius.

Whitney Makes Wendy Do The Ugly Cry

2009-09-15T20:50:00.005-04:00

Oh Wendy...I miss you so much!!! You guys have no idea how much I can now live without my radio now that Wendy isn't on it. Ugh!!!! But I digress...

Wendy was on her show talkin bout the Whitney interview with Oprah, as everyone is, and she broke into the ugly cry because as an ex-offender (read: former crack head) Wendy feels that Whitney didn't take ownership of her real crack situation. You see, only those who got to listen to Wendy er'day on the radio know her bizness like that. Now that America is her new best friend, she's sharing this information with all of them for the first time. So it brought on the nostril flares and the ugly cry...

For Hip Hop News & Entertainment at DimeWars.Com

What I find hilarious about this whole situation is that regardless of whether Whitney smoked crack from a dutch or a pipe, the reason Wendy even has a show right now is thanks to the fact that Whitney was smoked something. Whether you were able to listen to Wendy's show er'day or not, after her infamous Whitney interview, Wendy's professional situation blew up majorly. So really Wendy, who cares?

Whitney No Longer Loves Bobbeeeeeeeeeee

2009-09-15T15:22:00.006-04:00

Now that I've seen parts 1 and 2 of Whitney Houston's sit down with Oprah, I can speak on it.

I watched part one with my body tense and my hands clenched literally scurred of what I was going to hear. As much as I wanted to know er'single last detail, there was a part of me that didn't want to know about the destruction, the mess, and the pipes. But what do you know, there were no pipes...only coke laced weed. Sigh of relief on that one. But seriously, I was thinkin Whitney would either be very defensive or way too telling...and I am so glad that she was neither. She spoke her truth, in an elegant matter, with a lil of Newark, New Jerz on the side. Cuz she will fight you back.

If there was nothing else more obvious, it was the fact that she loved Bobby Brown. Even referred to him as her drug and says she was weak when it came to him. They loved hard and fought harder and then became coke heads together...he was also an alcoholic and an angry one. In his fits of rage he would be emotionally abusive to her, he smacked her once, and spit in her face. He also spray painted evil eyes around the house and cut her head off a family picture. Bobby Brown, indeed, is a piece of shit. But it also sounds to me like he's bi-polar...and his mouth is crooked so you have no idea what kind of added trauma that causes.

While Whitney was at the height of her career, Bobby was doing whatever he could to destroy her. His career had been faded and she was the reason for everything...some men have trouble dealing with that. Especially when you are in the same profession and people see you only as the husband of an Iconic Megastar. Oprah asked was Bobby jealous of her. In a way, I kind of feel like Oprah was directing Whitney in what she wanted her to say. Of course he was jealous of her...but I think Oprah should have let her suggest that on her own. It was obvious that Oprah was TEAM Whitney (and we all are) but I do feel like Oprah asked questions that were leading and part of her own perception of what she thought was going on at the time. Like yup girl, I knew it was Bobby all along. I knew it!

Anyhoo...I came across this comment made by this dude named "Onion" on The Root after part one aired. He said:

"Where would women be without a bad man to blame? The question asked by Oprah in her promos for this show was, “What was the worst thing he did to you?” A better question is, “Why the hell would you marry a man who was so bad in the first place? What was it about you that made you desire a person of such low repute?” OK, that’s two, sorry. But once again there’s nothing like a good dose of victimhood and sense of entitlement to warm the hearts of women all over this country. Whitney got what she deserved. Maybe she was just a shell to begin with and all she was was a voice. It was known that Bobby had babies and babie’s momma’s. So, again why Whitney? I think it was because she wanted to ride that ride, and so she did, and she ended up with a very bad hang over. It’s what she deserved because it’s what she asked for. He didn’t force her to marry him. Be a woman and own up to your own mistakes. Your own worst enemy was not Bobby, it was you, Whitney."

Minus the angry black man part, I had to agree with this Onion dude. I think Whitney would agree with him too. Especially since in part two of interview she says she has no regrets because it was in divine order...and as she sang, she didn't realize her own strength until now. It is real easy to sit back and say Bobby did this to her. Yeah, of course he was a bad influence. Of course he used the fact that she loved him so deeply and the fact she took her vows as seriously as they should be taken, to take her down in any way he could once he realized that he was officially a loser. And yes, he is the scum of the earth. However, Whitney played a role in this too. She made the choice to marry Bobby, to breed with Bobby, and smoke coke laced weed with Bobby. And it was her money buyin the shit. She could have at any moment walk out the door....altho she said he wouldn't let her. Now Whitney, how about we just say you didn't want to leave, you weren't ready to leave, and you couldn't leave because you didn't realize your own strength and that had nothing to do with Bobby.

But despite all that, the best part is that eventually she did find the courage and the strength to leave...and she's back and I for one, am so happy for her. She sounded way better than I thought she would during her performance and I teared up. I feel proud of her, genuinely proud and excited for her. Whitney feels like family. She's so familiar, she's so real, she's so every woman.

So now that that is all said and one, I just want to know two things...am I the only one who heard Bobbi Kristina singing on Good Morning America and heard that she did not get the sangin gene and has no business tryna be in the sangin business? And no matter what was going on in their lives, did not nary a person notice that Bobbi Kristina needed braces dumb long ago to fix that 5 mile gap in her teeth that she unfortunately inherited from her crazy ass daddy?

Luh u Whitney, mean it!!

Dear Jessica Simpson,

I'm sorry that a wild Coyote snatched your dog Daisy and ran away with her. Something tells me that that wild Coyote is pickin bits and pieces of Daisy out his teefus right about now.....Buuuut since you seem to think the Coyote just took Daisy so they could you know, play tag and chase butterflies, I will help with your cause.

HAVE YOU SEEN DAISY? If so, please let Jessica know. She may be in a Coyote's belly, possibly partially chewed, so please be very, very, very careful when you make your rescue, mkay? Spread the word!

Lil Mama Was High....

2009-09-15T10:39:00.003-04:00

Off her emotions. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I saw this pic and had to rezusgsh Lil Mama's stage crashin at the VMAs. She finally gave a statement regarding her antics:

"I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys. I admire them and look up to them as role models. 'Empire State of Mind' had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY."

This really means bitch is off her rocker, diagonal is all off, and there might be a lil powder in her gloss. It's still the most hilarious shizz ever. The fact that she was bold enough to not only jump on the stage during Jay and Alicia's performance but then POSE with them at the end like SHE just KILLED it just means that somebody is definitely TARDY for the party.

I Was Like Um...

2009-09-14T10:08:00.005-04:00

The VMAs. Nothing much to say. It was a womp womp. I knew I shoulda just watched True Blood. Anyway, Janet did what she needed to do for her brother, Kanye is an asshole as per usual (why is er'body shocked and rupauled...cuz he stole the mic from a lil country singer & told da truth...he's done this before. Let us not forget this is the man that cried and thru a hissy fit on stage when he didn't win awards he felt he deserved and told the world that George Bush doesn't care about black people. Since when has Kanye not said what he wanted, when he wanted?), Beyonce is the epitome of hotness and class, and Lil Mama's diagonal was off...the mental ward is callin lil girl.

Anyhooo, while there wasn't a damn thing good about the VMAs, I was totally entranced by this press conference after the Buffalo Bills game....this prolly shouldn't be funny as this dude might really have a SERIOUS medical situation that makes him stutter and/or just get really, really, nervous but I was like um.....

Heehee....wooo wooo my man....next time just breathe and relax.

So ummmmmmmmmmmmm, what da hell is this shizz? Is Puff really tryna sing? He sounds like Ashley Simpson. Clearly somebody is tryna keep auto-tune alive...don't worry T-Fug...you are obviously not alone.

I really hope Dawn and that other chic, you know the two people who can actually SING, get some real shine in this "group"...

Hill Harper's "The Conversation: How Black Men and Women Can Build Loving, Trusting Relationships"

2009-09-08T12:20:00.002-04:00

Hill Harper, whom you may recognize from CSI: New York and other acting gigs, is also an author and activist and has decided to dedicate his work, time and effort into taking on the serious and more than necessary task of rebuilding the seemingly destroyed relationship between Black Men and Black Women. Hill's latest book, "The Conversation" hits stores TODAY and if you believe there is a disconnect between Black Men and Black Women, but know that there is hope, then I highly recommend you pick up this book.

As noted in the title of Hill' book, "The Conversation" is what is needed and what is lacking between Black Men and Black Women. The continued miscommunication, misunderstandings, distrust, and preconceived notions between Black Men and Black Women could slowly but surely come to an end with something as simple as a conversation. We DO NOT talk to each other. Instead we confuse each other, we hurt each other, we use sex as band-aids, and more often than not, we are completely unaware and not even conscious of what it is we're doing. My many Black Women friends and I, have discussed with each other over and over again how we try to talk to our Black Men, try to explain what we need them to do, how we wish they could be more thoughtful, more attentive, more appreciative, more responsible, more ambitious, more loving, more open, more respectful, more HONEST, and we wonder why they can't they just be MEN (no more Bitchassness, Man-up, take accountability....the list can go on for days). The funny thing is, I think Black Women spend more time complaining to their girlfriends - because it is always great to have someone who will listen and relate over a cocktail or two - instead of really communicating with their men due to frustration, anxiety, weariness, fear, internal issues, and the "I'd rather have a piece of a man who treats me like shit than have no man at all" syndrome. On the flip side Black Men, not all but many, choose to keep their emotions to themselves or talk to their friends about how they aren't happy in their relationship, how they have relations with more than one woman at a time, how women want more than they are willing to give, how Black women are gold diggers and just want to spend their money, how women stay complaining about nothing, and how unappreciative women are about how hard they work and how much they contribute. How AMAZING would it be if Black Men and Women could have these same conversations with each other? What if we actually took the time to address each other's concerns and issues and worked on finding solutions? How enlightened would we be if through real talk, we learned how to build relationships and friendships based on truth and simple understanding? How much happier and at ease would we be if we were comfortable enough to be honest right from the beginning, offer each other our standards and expectations, let each other know what we want, and then decide if it's worth the time and effort needed to pursue one another? How much better off would we be - and our children - if we took the time to work together, build a partnership, and realize that while LOVE is at the heart of it all, being in a relationship/marriage is a business deal - that requires equal time, effort, and willingness to learn, communicate, and make sacrifices for the benefit of each other and your family?

Of course it isn't as easy as it sounds, otherwise, I think we would have figured out how to do this eons ago and 70% of professional, gorgeous, fabulous Black women wouldn't be single and there would be way more than 31% of Black children being raised in two-parent households. That is where Hill Harper and his book comes in :

"My goal is to host a city to city tour of FREE town halls where we can all come together and have a real conversation about what’s really going on. I want single folks, married folks—young and old—to courageously let their voices be heard around this topic that is often discussed on talk radio or afternoon TV shows, but rarely taken on face-to-face within our communities.

AND, I want singles to have the opportunity to mix and mingle at these town halls. Let’s connect singles together in every city we visit!

It’s no secret that a tour like this one—free of charge to its attendees—would be expensive and require corporate sponsorship dollars. I must to prove to the prospective sponsors that this issue is important to us all. How do we do that? I can prove that we care about this issue by sharing high book pre-sale numbers with them. And by tracking what area of the country the pre-sales come from, we can be sure to schedule the tour cities for those areas.

I AM ASKING YOU TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE!

We all have to join The Conversation and begin to work on these relationship issues."

Steve Harvey had women wanting to "Act Like A Lady and Think Like A Man"....I personally believe a woman should act like a woman, think like a woman, and understand her man and men should most certainly act like men, and think (thinking of any kind would be great :) and understand his woman. The best way to do that is to have the conversation. It's time we talk to each other! Support Hill Harper and support this book! Bring The Conversation to your city! We owe it to each other to fix us, to re-build the relationship between the Black Man and Black Woman, to nurture the Black Family, to leave legacies, and love each other. Spread the word...

Why not start now? Take the time to have a real conversation with your man or your woman today!

Black Love Is Beautiful....Black Love Is Amazing....Black Love Is Us.

Shame On You Bank Of America!!!

2009-09-03T14:56:00.002-04:00

Please tell me why a Bank of America teller wouldn't let a man BORN WITH NO ARMS cash his check because he couldn't give a thumb print? I'm surprised he didn't just smack the shit out of her....oh wait.

No Way Is This Maia Campbell...Right?

2009-09-03T13:39:00.004-04:00

Please tell me this is just some lady who happens to look really similar to Maia. I'm refusing to believe this is her...

Word on da screets is that "Maia" is a straight up prostitute and crack head. Did the "In the House" checks really just stop coming? Just why?

One Time For Whitney Ya'll!!

2009-09-02T18:16:00.003-04:00

Well one thing is definitely for sure, Bobbi Kristina did not get the sangin gene. But more importantly, while it is obvious that Whitney can no longer SANG like we know Whitney can sang, her performance on Good Morning America was rather great. I think she looked great, she was entertaining, and even with the voice crackin she sounds a mazillion times better than so many of these new age no talent havin heffas.

Good job Whitney. Welcome back. We missed you, boo!

Are You Excited For Fall TV?????!!!

2009-09-01T17:29:00.003-04:00

You bitches have Facebook and Twatter. I have my TV. The end of summer blues is only made better knowin that I get to rock my zexy 4 1/2' knee boots and I get to watch GREAT TV. And so it begins....

Last season Private Practice officially became better than Grey's and that should not have been the case. Now, for this season, I would have preferred Izzie die than George, but it should be interesting to see what happens with her tryna go back to work and how Alex deals with it all, and I'm really hoping that Meredith's real life baby gets written into the story (can you imagine Meredith tryna be somebody's mother???!!! Enter McDreamy, stay at home dad who has legal custody), and I really want to see how Yang deals with her post-war traumatized boyfriend (I still don't know if I like that relationship)....but my hope is that now that George is dead, Burke can come back...miracles do happen you know.

We shall see....

I CAN'T!!!

2009-09-01T13:34:00.002-04:00

And for this reason alone...I am prolly gonna have to watch Dancin wit da fuckin Stars (but I don't want to!!!). Why does Macy look like the dude?! Shouldn't her toe be pointed like that? Why does she look like she's about to stomp around him while he glides doin a grand plie and releve?! Thanks alot Macy. Damn you!

Kelly Is Finally On Top!

2009-08-25T17:42:00.005-04:00

Even if she had to release singles in Lebanon to get there. Kelly is looking beyond gorgeous and telling USA Today that she's FINALLY at a place in her life where she feels empowered and fearless.

Seems she spent much of her time feeling complacent and not believing in her own talent and capabilities. And who can blame her? When you spend your entire life/career walkin in the shadows on that bad B and being managed by (your real father who won't claim you) the father of the bad B who only has her best interest in mind...feeling like you can't make it on your own sounds about right.

But now that Kelly left da Knowleseses, got new people, is experimenting with new music, and embracing the love from overseas she is fulfilled, happy, successful and is ready to make it do wut it do.

I for one, am very happy for her. Yay Kelly Ro!

I finally got to see the interview that NeNe was supposed to be giving about her book but then Kim calls, and it becomes a back and forth between the two of them...

Andy must LOVE his job. Is anybody else just ready for the reunion?

AND since we talkin bout da Real Housewives....Bossip did an interview wth Kandi and I'm sorry, but something about Kandi's diagonal is just off. Something about her just seems a lil slow, a lil special...I mean one conversation with her seven year daughter kinda proved who has the brains in the family. Anyhoo...she is talkin about her relationship with her fiance and all his kids. She says when they first started dating she only knew about 3 of them. Then later she found out there were really 6 and basically due to circumstances, she was cool with it. UMMMMMMMMMMMMM....there is a HUGE difference between having 3 kids and 6 damn kids (by 4 baby mothas) and what possible circumstances could there have been that he didn't just come right out and say he had 6 kids? Maybe he was waitin for his episode of Maury to come on so he could find out that he is the father. AJ's Good Good must be Dicktastical!

Those Atlanta Housewives...

2009-08-14T10:25:00.003-04:00

Seriously, what is in da sizzurp that the shemale Sheree is sippin on?! It don't even matter, whateva it is, keep sippin it boo...Sheree has become the reason I watch! When she explained her goal in grabbin Kim's wig: "I did not try to pull if off. I did not want to pull it off. I just wanted to shift it a little bit"....I was good for the rest of the night. If you notice, Kim's wig was definitely shifted.

I can't with these bitches. Heeheeee...such a mess!

You Will Literally Die Over Spilled Milk

2009-08-13T10:10:00.003-04:00

Just why??? I know parents and grandparents get on our lastest nerves but why little girl? Why did you have to kill him over some milk?! Take a look...

I bet that grandfather was doin way more than pourin milk down the drain. He was prolly torturing that little girl and she snapped. All she wanted was to eat her Lucky Charms in peace and he couldn't just let her have her milk. Even if she did get stank, the girl still gotta eat. Let her know she can put that where, but don't pour the milk down the drain grandpa!!! You lost your life over spilled milk. Just daayum.

I blame Facebook.

Idiots on Facebook

2009-08-12T19:54:00.003-04:00

Some thoughts/comments shouldn't be made on Facebook, however, if you are going to say whatever comes to that special mind of yours, make sure you remember NOT to add your boss as one of your friends, k?

Hahahahahahaahahaaa! I would LOVE to be in on that office conversation while watchin her dumb ass pack her shit. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Facebook takin people down....it's the future folks. Lettin people in on er'aspect of your life for no reason...such a bright idea. Try and be mindful. Try. Heeheeeeee....

Oh Tameka Foster "Jelly Belly" Raymond....

2009-08-12T18:26:00.007-04:00

You falling prey to societal standards and deciding to get a tummy tuck had everything to do with the fact that your jelly belly situation just isn't cute and nothing to do with you being dark skinned. Sigh....she done made F.U. have to speak on it!

Tameka "Jelly Belly" Raymond, Usher's soon to be ex-wife, wrote an article for the Huffington Post about her having to deal with internal racism/color complexes due to the fact that she's a dark skinned woman. I'll be the first to admit that she makes some good points:

"Often dark-skinned women are considered mean, domineering and standoffish and it was these very labels that followed Michelle Obama during the campaign for her husband's presidency and which she has had to work tirelessly to combat. I was appalled when I heard a Black woman refer to Michelle Obama as unattractive. The conversation turned into why President Obama picked her as his mate. No one in the witch-hunt made reference to the possibility that Michelle Obama was smart, funny, caring, a good person, highly accomplished or brilliant. Nor did they mention that she previously was President Obama's supervisor. If she were fair skinned, petite with long straight or wavy hair, would the same opinions be linked to her? I seriously doubt it. It is believed that for the dark skinned, dreams are less obtainable."

There is an adage "hurt people, hurt people". If this is true then we must examine the root of negative words and judgments that are passed on people. Unfortunately, we have internal stereotypes based off of skin color and facial features that stem from years of programming, dating back to the "Willie Lynch" method for creating a slave. In this infamous formula, one of the main factors in separating and creating division was placing the lighter skinned blacks in a higher position in the house, while those with darker skin were made to stay in the fields and deemed "less desirable". Much like the Caste System in India. No matter what strides we make as a people, these issues continue to plague and rot our souls, causing significant decay to a portion of our population and truly hindering our progress. Perhaps we show progress in our wallets and lifestyles but not in our mind set.

Reading magazines, social media sites, watching our music videos, and television shows feed our appetites for all things 'beauty". Rarely, however do I see depictions of grace and elegance in the form of dark complexioned women. I Googled one of the more ethnic models, Alek Wek and I was saddened by the tone of what the bloggers wrote in reference to her complexion, features and hair texture. Ms. Wek's escape from Sudan, her journey, philanthropy, and groundbreaking success as a supermodel in America is not only beautiful, but it displays her tenacity and character. African-Americans seemed to have lost their eye for character. These comments are evidence of the confusion that lies within many black people. It's the cruelty and prejudice that has spilled into the fabric of our everyday lives. It makes me wonder what have we collectively lost as a people? Our Minds."

Of course when we see athletes like Reggie Bush with Kim Kardashian, or when her ex- and sex tape partner Ray-J has a reality show in which his final choices in women are a white girl, a light skinned blonde, and a psycho who da hell knows what, or we see the Kobe Bryants, the Taye Diggs, the T.O.s, the main girl in the videos and the list goes on and on....it does seem like Black women with darker skin are not the preferred choice.

However, I personally don't feel like dark skin women are still fighting the paper bag syndrome like we once had to. From my own experience, the chocolate is MORE than desired, wanted and sexy as all hell. I see dark skin women in all kind of power roles, and yes a beautiful Black woman and her Black little girls are first and foremost in the White House. I know the color complex and the internal hate that Black people in general have for themselves is still relevant and still very much alive in our culture, but I can't say that the reason Tameka Raymond gets all the flack she does has anything to do with her skin tone.

She said: "In fact, I have read similar comments about myself that I am "dark, aggressive, bossy and bitchy." Ummmm, I don't understand why people would refer to her as dark followed by all negative characteristics. One has nothing to do with the others, yet ignorance is more than prevalent so it could very well be true OR Tameka could very well be upset by the fact that she isn't loved by the public and choosing to take much of what is said about her out of context and make it a racial thing. Who knows?

Real talk, Tameka is a nice looking woman. She isn't gorgeous and she isn't fugly. She's just a regula schmegula pretty woman. I think the comments regarding her attitude, personality and the way she treats people could stem from truth. Why would people make it their business to say such things about her...just cuz she's dark skinned? Come off it. Yes people may have wanted Usher to be with someone younger, who didn't already come with three or four kids, who wasn't already married, and wasn't the rumored reason that his relationship with Chilli was destroyed. I'll be the first to tell you that as spectators and consumers of all the hype and bullshit all these artists, athletes and entertainers sell us, we in turn have expectations for what these people do and who they do it with. Yeah, I thought Usher should have been with someone younger, without kids, and more on his level in terms of fabulousness. It don't have shit to do with her skin complexion but everything do with the fact that I personally didn't think they had that beautiful connection that I think two people in love have. I say the same shit about Hello Kitty - I mean Mariah and her little boy and Mariah is light and bright.

Point is, please don't blame your current situation on your skin tone Tameka. Dark skin women are loved, rejected and hated just as much as all women, and even if darker women are still shunned a lil more than the next, it isn't the reason that YOU suffer from your possibly self-inflicted psychological wounds. Maybe YOU don't love who you are, Tameka, and you are choosing to blame your own hurt on the reason you don't feel acceptance within the Black (woman) community.

Just a thought...

Doin' Too Much...

2009-08-12T10:25:00.005-04:00

Me, that is. First of all it's hot, finally, but I'm not complainin. Secondly, it's summer, so you know, I just don't feel like it. And #88 my mind has just been preoccupied with stuff other than the usual bull shiz that seems to be relevant...I mean seriously, Sara, from Da Band, is in a Domestic Disturbia situation? I can't. On the other hand...

I am thrilled the Jennifer Hudson is a new Mommy!

I think it is hilarious that Kelly Clarkson (my 2nd favorite American Idol after Tasia) was on the cover of Self magazine, discussing confidence and pride in her body fat and not caring what others say about her, only for the mag to completely photo shop her to "make her look her personal best"... beyond hypocritical...this world sucks. Seriously.

And I love that Wendy Williams is the only person that could get people talkin bout other people's business...whether it's true or not. Fancy, why you puttin Jamie's bizness on blast?

Anyhooo....so YISIAWers, I'm here, just not really and thanks to the two of you who are wondering where my posts are. Luh u, mean it!!

But the real point of this post is to let those of you who are in NYC or those of you that will come from far and wide just to do a party in NYC, that I've got one for you that is prolly gonna be one of the best you hit up all summer.
