Fundraiser Flop On Real Housewives!

So it's time for the latest on every one's favorite housewives! On Tuesdays episode we caught up with Deshawn at her million dollar fundraiser. Deshawn sets a goal to raise one million dollars for her foundation by auctioning off dates and selling diamonds. Now in spite of EVERYONE telling her that a Milli was an unreasonable amount of money to raise, she insisted that she would be able to accomplish this feat! So Deshawn goes about her merry party planning way, and invites people that she thinks will spend money, and bring her closer to to her goal. Now I just wanna add for the record that in theory Deshawn's fundraiser was a splendid idea! However, her biggest mistake was thinking that people would spend their money out of the goodness of their hearts! What she shoulda did was make people buy tickets to her fundraiser in advance, that way even if they decided to be cheap, then she wouldn't have been at a total loss! Those losers that Deshawn had @ her fundraiser did not spend a red cent! No one bid at the auction (run by NeNe), and hardly anyone purchased diamonds! And what bugged me the most was the fact that the only one of her friends that bought anything was Kim. She called good old dependable "Big Poppa" and charged that bracelet to the AMEX. And why on earth didn't Lisa bring her high rollin' connects from the jewelry industry to go and drop some money?? Help a sista out! Sheree was busy being high siddity. Home girl walked in and almost died when she found out there was no coat check, "What am I supposed to do with my fur, hang it over a chair??! I gotta admit, I died laughin' when she said that. So by the end of the fundraiser, Deshawn was in her room in hysterics because she felt like a "failure" due to her fundraiser flop. It turns out that she spent $30,000 to throw the gala, and only made about half that back. I truly felt horrible for her, but I guess she could just write it off as an expensive mistake. Stay tuned for next week's recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta!

Juice On The Housewives of Atlanta!

As you all already know, I'm a big fan of the show: The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now in the 1st episode which aired on October 9th, Kim disclosed that she's in a serious relationship with a multi-millionaire who didn't want to be named or filmed on camera. Kim calls him "Big Poppa". We all got to see that "Big Poppa" was obviously a man with "Buku Bread" when he paid for Kim's new $68,000 Escalade. Home girl drove straight off the lot with that thing! Then we see more of "Big Poppa's" influence on the 3rd episode when Kim receives a shipment of shoes from Christian Dior to her home. Kim goes through the shoes and picks which ones she wants, and says that she gets it all courtesy of none other than, you guessed it: "Big Poppa". Now naturally the ? on every body's mind is: WHO THE HEll IS BIG POPPA??! There's all sorts of speculations flying around. My new favorite website: Dirty N' The Beest indicated that her boo is a gy-mungous real estate developer who has a son that hangs out with cuite pie Brody from The Hills. Other sources say that the real estate developer goes by the name of Lee Najjar. I also read that "Big Poppa" is married and that may be part of the reason that they don't want to reveal his identity. I also heard that Kim's boo might be mega music mogul Quincy Jones which would make sense since she stated that he is a celebrity. She also mentioned in the 1st episode that he's in the entertainment industry, and that she could see herself marrying him. I just can't wait for the truth to come out already, then I can finally breathe a fricken sigh of relief! Lol.

After reading all that stuff about Kim, I read that Lisa (married to NFL player Ed Hartwell) used to be married to R&B singer from the 80s and 90s, Keith Sweat! Apparently it was an abusive relationship, and she has two children with Sweat. He allegedly didn't want their two sons to be on the show, and refused to sign a waiver giving her permission. Holy Cannoli!! The plot truly thickens with this bunch. This is the most interesting season of The Real Housewives... hands down! If you're not watching this on Tuesdays @ 10, then what are you watching??

Sad, Sad, Sad...

So today I was flipping through my favorites on the remote control, trying to find something worth while to watch on TV. As I went through the HBO channels I came across a documentary called: Section 60: Arlington National Cemetery. It's a documentary following family members and loved ones as they visit U.S. soldiers that have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cemetery is located in Washington, D.C. As I watched the cameras scan over the countless head stones in the cemetery, the 1st thing that caught my attention was how young most of the soldiers were. Young men in their early twenties dying and leaving behind wives, children, mothers and fathers. The only way that I could describe it was: Heart Breaking! Seeing the pain and anguish that these people felt as they knelt down beside the graves of their loved ones filled me with immense sadness! It was hard for me to watch those people in pain, and then hear Bush and Mc Cain say that this war is right for our country. To hear those politicians say that we're "winning" this war is beyond comprehension for me. It's not as though this war was inevitable or even necessary. Our wonderful President Bush sent these soldiers to war under the false pretense that they were fighting against Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. We now know better, don't we? Why anyone would continue to listen to some who thinks "misunderestimate" is a word is beyond me. Anywho, I think this documentary is worth seeing, especially for those of you who believe that this war should continue. Tune into anyone of the various HBO channels and check your local listings for the next show time.

"Love, live life, Proceed Progress"

This line from Lil Wayne sums up what we all strive to do. He puts it so simply, but at the end of the day we can all relate to the meaning.

The magazine goes on news stands on Friday! Get it while its Hawt. lol

Welcome To Latina Quaters!

So I have a friend named Josy. She's been my home skillet since about the 7th grade. Please allow me to paint you a picture of Josy. She's of Dominican decent and she's about 5 feet and 1 inch tall, although she has the personality and verocity of a 7 foot tall man. Josy and I work together, and we often go over to each other's cubicles and harrass one another through out the day. So today at work Josy comes over to my desk as dramatic as she can be, shouting: "Aye, no puedo (I can't)! Mira (look)! Jennifer Hudson is all over the place bragging about that stupid ring that she got from that guy Punk! Mira! Is she kidding me?? She actually said she feels so lucky to be with him because he's a Harvard grad! Who cares that he's a Harvard grad, he's a moron. He was on I Love New York degrading and embarrassing himself! I mean, he acquired the name PUNK!! Mira! I don't care where he graduated from, he still doesn't strike me as her type. Whatchu think Beja (beautiful)? Am I being too harsh??" So by this time, I'm rollin' because she manages to get soo worked up about these things. I then responded and told her that I agree with her, and that them two being together seems very random and weird. I did happen to catch a glimpse of her on Oprah(Oprahhhhh, I love her) talking about how in love she is. I must say, J. Hud seems so grounded, I'm surprised that she would settle with a contestant from a realilty TV dating show! But hey, whadda ya gonna do?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta

So another one of my favorite shows on television is The Real Housewives of... and this season Bravo takes us into the lives of rich and famous African American women living in some of the most affluent communities in Atlanta, Georgia. On Last nights episode Kim (the only one in the bunch who isn't black) takes the other women to her psychic Rose in order to have her palms read. NeNe (the ghetto fabulous social butterfly) decides to get her palms read for fun, and finds out that psychic Rose hit the nail right on the head when she dug up NeNe's "daddy issues" from her past. Rose tells her that she will be receiving some bad news in regards to her relationship with her father. A couple days later NeNe gets an anonymous letter in the mail stating that the man that she's been calling daddy for 30+ years may not even be her father!! ( in the words of flava flav : Wowwww). Mean while, Deshawn( wife of Clevland Cavaliers Player Eric Snow) is planning a million dolllar fund raiser for her foundation. She makes plans to "step her fundraising game up" and have her jeweler and pastor contribute to raising money and auctioning off dates! Deshawn seeks the help of Sheree (ex-wife of NFL an player) and Lisa (wife of NFL player Ed Hartwell) to assist her with the auctioning portion of her fund raiser. Cut to Kim meeting with music producer Dallas Austin in order to help her jump start her career in singing ( may the force be with you girl!), and Sheree going to a drag queen/transvestite fashion show with her gay and fabulous hair stylist! Next week we will find out the conclusion of NeNe's paternity dilemma, and the turn out of Deshawn's fund raiser. I can't wait!

The Real House Wives of Atlanta is good TV. It takes you into the lives of these interesting rich and famous socialites who are livin'the good life and lovin' it. Plus it has that extra southern flavor. You can tune in on Tuesdays at 10:00 PM on Bravo!

Don't Just Vote, Vote for Barack Darnit!

Only two weeks left until election day, and now that Bush has sucessfully run the country straight into the damn ground it's about time for a change. So don't just vote, vote for Barack! Cuz lets face it, Mc Cain just doesn't come arcoss as all that different from our current "president". He comes out of no where with this rigod-damn-diculous health insurance plan, where his grand solution is to give everyone $5000 in order to buy into the insurance plan of their choice, mean while the average cost of insurance is a whoppin' $12,000 a year. Is it me, or does that seem like a crock of crap? I don't know about yall, but I don't need someone representing me who has soo many darn houses that he can't count, SMH...

On a sad note, according to ABC News Barack has decided to take a couple of days away from the campaign trail in order to tend to his ailing grandmother Madelyn Dunham. Barack's grandmother raised him along with his grandfather after the death of his mother. Barack often refers to his grandmother in his speeches as the person who gave him his strength and his strong sense of values. Barack has decided to fly to Hawaii in order to be by his grandmother's side during this time. His Wife, Michelle Obama will be standing in for him on the campaign trail (dats a strong black woman for ya!). Our best wishes are with Bararck Obama and his family...

Is This A Sick Joke??

Every now and then something occurs that makes me ask myself what life is all about. Tonight I'm wondering what life is all about when I Love NewYork's "Chance" and "Real" have their own "reality" show? Has the world gone maaad? Is it me or can any old joe shmoe get a gig?? Every time I turn around there's another moron on TV making an ass of themselves. Now VH1 found a way to build a show around not one, but two dim wits! And to make matters worst its the same lame premise that us viewers have had to be subjected to for the last couple years; a person in search of "love" in a room full of 20 people. OMGooseness! It makes me wanna scream! I refuse to watch that show gosh darnit. I think those kind of shows fry the brain. lol

Whitney In The City?

So after watching The Hills I learned that Whitney will be having her own show entitled: The City, airing in December. Let me start by saying that I love Whitney to death. She is a very sweet and classy young woman, but I just don't know if she's meaty (interesting) enough for me to watch her full time. I'm so used to watching her in conjunction with my other favorite people ( lauren and audrina), that I'm just not sure if she has what it takes to carry a whole show on her own. I need someone with Spunk, Pizazz and that ever present element of drama lurking around every other corner. I'm definitely willing to give Whitney the chance she deserves. Hopefully, I'm wrong and The City is a HIT!

Why Is Spencer Such A loser!

Okay, so one of my favorite shows on television right now is MTV's The Hills. What can I say, it's my guilty pleasure! The latest episode from 10/20 wasn't all that thrilling, (normal Audrina and Justin-Bobby melow drama) however I have to take this moment to ask Why is Spencer Such A Fricken Loser?! He never misses the opportunity to make someone feel like crap. In this case the victim was he sister Stephanie (she-pratt). He completely embarrassed her on their little double date by bringing up stupid and insignificant things that occurred in the past. And then all he did was criticize Stephanie's boyfriend as though someone told Spencer that he was a model person. Spencer is such a MORON! Why hasn't he given up this quest to make everyone around him miserable??
