Quote of the week:

"Did you see that comin' when she sat us down here?
Yea but I was hopin' she was expelled or into hard drugs.
Yea, that was my first instinct too, or a DWI, anything but this"

-Juno

I was watching the movie Juno for the umpteenth time, and this part always cracks me up. The above line comes from the part of the movie where Juno has just told her parents that she's pregnant. I found it hilarious that they would've rather hear that she was on drugs or a criminal, then to hear that she was pregnant. Juno is an awesome movie, if ya haven't seen it, you most definitely should!

Bonnie Hunt Has Kim Down Pack!

I found this clip on youtube and I had to share with you guys! Its a clip of Bonnie Hunt and Comedian Niecy Nash imitating Real Housewives' Kim and NeNe. It is Hella Funny!
Enjoy!

Employee Dies @ Walmart!

A 34 year old male employee lost his life early this morning @ a Walmart in Valley Stream, Long Island. According to Fox 5 News the crowd became uncontrollable and stormed into the store in order to begin shopping. Despite police presence the shoppers were still completely out of order. Three others were also injured this morning, including a pregnant woman.
All I can say is Wowww! Is this Black Friday thing really that serious?? No one needs to die or be injured due crazy shoppers mobbing the stores, get it together people. I personally can't stand large crowds and chaos when I'm shopping, so Black Friday is one day that I know I will not shop.

"B" On the Today Show!

Beyonce performed Etta James's "At Last" on the Today Show this morning! She did a fantabulous job! I can't get enough of this chick! You go girl with your #1 Album in the country!
Sidebar: Get a load of "B"s black skin tight body suit! Beyonce's a bad bad chick!

I AM KING. Diddy's New Fragrance!

So in typical Diddy Fashion, P. Diddy has created a mini-movie on his blog in order to promote his latest fragrance: I Am King. The mini-movie plays like something straight out of a James Bond action flick! Hmmm, can this be because of Diddy's latest campaign to be the new James Bond? P.Diddy stated on his blog that he feels that he is the best man for the job. He then went on to say that since we finally have a black president, it's time for a black Bond. I dunno about all dat, Diddy might need to stick to what he knows: MUSIC! With that being said, the blog was very entertaining, feel free to check it out below! Enjoy!

Lets Get Ready To Rumbleeee!

Hmm, where do I begin? I couldn't wait for tonight to come so that I could get my Tuesday fix of Atlanta's favorite housewives. I set my DVR to record (in case I felt like a fiend later on and wanted watch it a couple more times, LOL), and I proceeded to indulge. So when the show began everyone was civil and courteous, with an undertone of snotty in the mix. That lasted for about 2 whole minutes. Once the viewers' questions started coming then the ishhh hit the fan!

Kim decided to reveal that big poppa is "legally married" but going through a divorce, and that they're in an on again, off again relationship! NeNe damn near jumped into Kim's lap and pounced her out! while talking about things Kim said about her during the show. NeNe also advised Kim that she should "close her legs to married men" because Mr. Nager doesn't plan on leaving his wife!! Kim addressed the questions that viewers asked about her wig. She broke down and confused us all while explaining that she may or may not have had cancer in the past. Her hair fell out for whatever reason, and apparently that's the reason that she wears that hideous wig. Oh, and my favorite part of all; who is Kim fooling claiming that she's 30??! She is apparently very serious about her age. That's her story and she's sticking to it! If Kim is 30 then I'm 12 dammit! And did she mention something about there being another season with these 5 women in Atlanta?? Hmm...

A viewer sent an email rippin' into Deshawn about how much money she spends on her staff each year. I thought she stayed true to the personality that we've come to know all season. Her words were at a minimum,and she was polite at the same time. Or maybe it's just that her brain was occupied with thoughts of new ways to spend money. Who knows. One thing is true though, Deshawn stayed out of the drama during the show, and on the after show.

When it came down to Sheree they discussed the fact that she acts like everyone should wanna be her. She claimed that she doesn't feel or act that way (big surprise there). A viewer went in on Sheree about the fact that she doesn't sketch or sow her own designs. She was also called a gold digger to her surprise! The way that woman repeatedly talked about wanting her seven figure divorce settlement, its no wonder why we would get the impression that she's an opportunistic she devil! What other conclusion would we possibly come to?

Lisa called Kim out for talking about everyone behind their backs. after Kim revealed that Lisa told her about NeNe's song in the limo. Lisa stated that she told Sheree, but that she never had that discussion with Kim. She then threatened to flip her over the couch for lying, LOL. I found that part to be hilarious. That seemed so out of character for Lisa.



Side Bar: what the hell was up with Dwight's (NeNe's overly gay/Divo sidekick) fricken hair??! Holy crap, what was he thinking when he came on TV looking like that? He came out looking like the Eddie Murphy character in Vampire In Brooklyn! And he had some balls going out there and putting his hands all in poor Kim's hair the way he did!


Over all I was definitely entertained by the fierce fivesome, as usual, but I have to admit that I felt bad for Kim. She got picked on pretty badly. Between the viewers with their emails and NeNe and Lisa, poor Kim didn't stand a chance. In a way she caused it on herself, because she said a few reckless things during the season, but lets face it Kimmy is no real match for NeNe or Lisa. I'm gonna be waiting to see if these women get another season on Bravo. It would be the best thing the network could do for its ratings because this season in Atlanta was the most entertaining and drama filled by far!! I'm so darn sad that the season is over already! I was pondering what I'm gonna do on Tuesday nights for the next couple months, and then it hit me! I'm gonna have to just tune into the new season of the Bad Girls Club!!! There's like two black girls this season (again), and as we clearly see and know, where ever us people of color go, some good drama is sure to follow! ;-)

Kanye's New Video

This is Kanyeezy's new video for his single Heartless off of his new album 808s and Heartbreak. I thought it was very creative and innovative of Kanye to do a video like this! Yeezy is soo full of talent, that's why no matter what shinanigans he pulls, I always forgive him! LMAO! Enjoy!

Killer hair, Killer clothes! I love her!

Not sure about this curtain/drape thing!
But she redeemed herself!


My girl "B" during her awesome performance!

If Ya like it then ya shoulda put a ring on it!!


The American Music Awards came on last night. It was a pretty decent show as far as award shows go. The talented Alicia Keys snagged two awards, one of them was for Best Soul/R&B female. Kanyeezy also snagged two of the nights awards. One was for Best Male Hip Hop/Rap Album. When he went up to accept his second award, he stated that he would like to give his award to Lil Wayne (who was also nominated in the category). Yeezy went on to say that Wayne deserved the honor of best rap album more than he did for this year. All I would like to ask Kanye is, why can't you make up your mind?? When ya don't win you wanna wild out, and when ya do win, then you wanna give your award away?? Make up your mind dude! Anywho, Rihanna won two awards as well. I love Rhi Rhi, but I wasn't sure how to feel about her dress. It sort of looked liked a cross between curtains and drapes or something. However, she totally redeemed herself during her performance of Rehab. Rhi Rhi came out with her killer hair and her killer leather outfit and gave a pretty nice performance! And speaking of Rhi Rhi, her boo Chris Breezy picked up three awards and one of them was a biggie for artist of the year! There was some mediocre performances by Christina Aguilera and The Pussycat Dolls. Those damn pussycats came out and turned the show up a notch from PG to PG-13 with their patent leather, stripper/dominatrix outfits! I fricken forgot what show I was watchn for a minute. Natasha Bedingfield performed a nice little medley of her songs Soulmate, Unwritten and Pocket Full of Sunshine. I just love that girl's voice! The one and only Beyonce gave a great performance of Single Ladies and she had everyone on their feet dancing (no surprise there)! Kanye performed his new single Heartless with all the emotion and passion that we all look forward to from a Kanye performance. I thought he did a good job, But I was a little disturbed that he wore the same outfit allll night. Legendary singer and activist Annie Lenox was honored with the Merit Award and she put on a soulful performance as well. Alicia Keys closed the night with her performance of Superwoman along with my girl Queen Latifah and world renown opera singer Kathleen Battle. Oh, I almost forgot, America's favorite celibate tripplets The Jonas Brothers also won an award. I must say that I enjoyed the show overall. I thought it was well put together and it went off without a hitch!

New Jamie Foxx Flick

Jamie foxx has just wrapped up production on his latest movie entitled: The Soloist. The emotional and heart wrenching movie is based on the true story of LA Times reporter Steve Lopez (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) and his encounter with an ex Julliard student and musical genius turned homeless schizophrenic Nathaniel Ayers (played by Jamie Foxx). In Steve Lopez's quest to help Nathaniel find his way back to the life he once had, a beautiful friendship blossoms and changes both lives. There's a lot of buzz around this flick people, and it sounds like it'll be an award winning performance by both Foxx and Downey, Jr. The Soloist is scheduled to be out in theaters on March 13, 2009.

Shame on you Lindsay Lohan!

So I was up late the other night and I decided to tune into Chelsea Lately for some late night entertainment. Chelsea's always good for a laugh. At the beginning of the show she showed a clip of an interview that Linday Lohan did with Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos. Maria asked La Lo how she felt about Barack being elected president seeing as how she claimed to be such a big supporter. Lindsay then replied that she is very happy and excited because "he is the first colored president". What???????? I was fricken flabbergasted when I saw that clip. "Colored"?? Did Lindsay Lohan not get the memo that that word is no longer in use? Who the eff still calls African Americans "Colored"? Better yet what kind of Obama supporter would call him a "Colored" man? Ughhh! The level of retardation and ignorance that still exhists is mind boggling to me.

Was Ashley Dupre Serious?

So I tuned in to 20/20 last night to see the interview with former call girl/escort Ashley Dupre, and I must say that I found myself very annoyed at that chick. Can someone tell me why she agreed to do the interview with Diane Sawyer if she was gonna refuse to answer the juicy and important questions?? When Diane asked Dupre the killer questions about what type of "client" the ex governor was, she responded, "I have been legally advised not to discuss that". Dupre then proceeded to give that same response several other times through out the interview. Instead Ashley wanted to discuss her daddy issues, and the fact that she felt abandoned by her father when her parents got divorced. Why on earth would we give a flying crap about that stuff? The only things we care about are facts like: how much money she got from the governor, how often she met with him, and whether he was her"difficult"client. That girl came on the show and tried to talk about being in love with a married man, and getting betrayed and left with lease of a couple thousand $. Homegirl got it twisted into thinking we were interested in those minute details. Anywho I give Diane and "E" for effort because she was very respectful to Ashley Dupre and she tried her best to get the goods for us. But it seemed like a waste of time.

Brandy Comes Clean

In the December issue of US Weekly singer Brandy explains exactly why she lied about her 2002 marriage to her daughter's father (Robert Smith). She admits that the marriage never actually occurred and that she was afraid of how her fans would view her had we known that she was having a child out of wedlock. So instead of just being real and embracing he situation, she created this facade for the fans to eat up. first of all I must say that I am a big Brandy fan. I've loved the girl since "I wanna be down", and through her various albums and her hit TV show Moesha, I sort of feel like I grew up on Brandy. With that being said, Brandy had to have thought that her fans were complete morons to not have seen through her fake marriage during her reality show on MTV, Brandy: A Special Delivery. Robert didn't seem very into her or the pregnancy, he appeared to be merely going with the flow. Lord knows she was trying her best to put on a happy face, but Robby boy didn't do a very good job of pretending. Plus, what kind of idiot publicist must B Rocka have that would allow her to follow through with something like that?? Her publicist should have made her understand that this is not the 1920s, and that no true, die hard fan is gonna lose love and respect for you just because you're not married to the father of your child. People in long term committed relationships get respect too right? Brandy also discusses the horrific car accident (in 2006) that she caused, leaving a woman dead. Through out all of the trials and tribulations Brandy still managed to record a new album called: Human due out on December 9th. She stated that, "The purpose of my life is music. it's my responsibility to give the fans something they've been waiting for, something they deserve." I guess we'll have to wait to see if Brandy can revive her career with this album.

Quote of the week:

"Life is hard, things happen...Sometimes ya gotta stop, and put it all behind you!!"
-Professor Groneman


This is a very memorable and funny line that a professor of mine said in college. She directed this comment to a young lady in my class that was having a hard time letting go of things in her personal life. The young lady was visibly upset while telling her story to the class, and I guess my professor just didn't have the patience or tolerance to deal with it. She stopped her in mid sentence and explained to her that things are gonna happen in life that upset you, but you can't dwell on them, you have to give it the time it requires and move on with your life. I was in my seat shocked that Professor Groneman was soo blunt, but I took what she said that day with me, and I've remembered it and applied it ever since!

Mr. And Mrs. Smith In Essence!

Be sure to pick up the December issue of Essence magazine. There are two different covers out, on one the beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith is the cover girl, and on the other the Mr. and Mrs. grace the cover together. There's an awesome interview inside that the couple did. Jada and Will are very open and candid as usual, and they both give a lot of insight into how they've kept their marriage going all this time! The article was very well written, and both Will and Jada had some very poignant things to say. In addition to the article there are some stunning pics of the power couple inside. The December issue of Essence also wraps up and reflects on this year in black entertainment so it's a really good read over all! Pick it up if ya get a chance, It's on news stands now.

Hilary Clinton To Be Named Secretary of State!

So after much speculation, ABC News confirmed that Hill will be named Secretary of State in the Obama administration! There's been rumors and talks of Hilary being chosen for the position ever since Barack won the nomination several weeks ago. Hilary is scheduled to be officially nominated after the Thanksgiving holiday. Barack Obama has stated that he would like to construct his administration in the same way the President Lincoln did. Apparently when Lincoln was elected he chose various people that ran against him to be members of his cabinet. Well Barack, you're off to a great start! I'm sure Hilary will do a great job!

Ex Govenor's Call Girl On 20/20

The infamous Call girl Ashley Dupre, a.k.a "Kristen" will be seen on ABC's 20/20 with Diane Sawyer tomorrow night. Ashley has decided that it's time to break her silence and tell her side of the story regarding the sex scandal that forced former Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer to leave office. Sources report that Dupre doesn't go into great detail about her relations with the ex Governor. She mainly explains how she ended up running away from home (New Jersey) and becoming a high priced prostitute. I can't wait to see exactly what this chick is talkin' about tomorrow night...

Tune into Channel 7 tomorrow night @ 10pm

Another Fricken Fair Hike??

The MTA will be holding a meeting tomorrow to discuss their plans to raise subway and bus fairs by 23% and cut at least 2 subway train lines. The MTA reportedly also plans to raise the express bus fairs by a whopping 50%! If the 23% raise goes into affect that will hike the current $2 fair up to $3 one way! The meeting is scheduled to take place at 9:00 AM tomorrow! This is utterly ridiculous dammit! They wanna raise our fairs while Eyewitness news is catching MTA workers lolly gaggin' and foolin' around while they're on the clock?! What the EFF?! I am outraged!

Holla if you hear me......

The Beyonce Experience...

"B"s album I AM...SASHA FIERCE hit the shelves yesterday!! I copped the album of course and gave it a couple good listens. Its a double album with 6 songs on the 1st CD and 5 songs on the 2nd one. While I do love the album as a whole I have to say, I think "B" should've put more songs on each CD just to add more meat to the project. I finished listening to both CDs and I was left feeling a little incomplete. With that being said Beyonce is definitely at her peak vocally. I've been following this diva since "No, No, No", and her voice has never sounded better on any album. She kills it with ballads like "Halo" and spills raw emotions in "Broken -Hearted Girl". Then she kicks it up a thousand notches with songs like "Diva" and "Single Ladies". I love this chick, her talent and creativity is endless! How would I rate this album? Well, Im struggling between a B+ and an A-. I'll reveal my final grade after a couple more spins!

Real House Wives Season Finale

On the season finale of The Real House wives... Deshawn has to face the harsh reality that her husband (NBA player Eric Snow) may have to retire from the Cleveland Cavaliers! Deshawn talks with Lisa about the various ways that she will have to down size her frivolous life style. At the same time Lisa is battling with the fact that her husband (Ed Hartwell) has been picked up to play for the Oakland Raiders. This means that he will have to spend half his time all the way on the west coast, away from Lisa and their son. And just when I was starting to feel a little board with all that NBA and NFL talk, the show redeems itself and cuts to Dallas Austin FINALLY being honest with Kim and flat out letting her know that her voice is gonna need some major work in order to make an album. Dallas explains to Kim that she needs to kick her pack a day smoking habit and she looked like she couldn't even fathom the thought, lol. Sheree continued to refine her clothing line and met with Mychael Knight (project runway designer) in order to consult on how to make her line bigger and better. Knight offered Sheree some real honest advice about the business of designing clothes. I think he set her on the right track. While all of this is goin' on NeNe is home writin' a letter to the man who she thought was her father all her life (It was revealed through a paternity test on the 11/11 episode that Curtis was NOT her father, the whole thing felf very Maury to me, lol). Anywh0, the show wrapped up with all the women and their husbands having a dinner party to send each other off. Words were exchanged between Sheree, NeNe and Kim (inevitably), and NeNe's husband gave a peaceful and conscious speech about making up and moving on. By the end of the episode we learned that Sheree is still hoping for her 7 figure divorce, and she will be launching her clothing line in the fall of '09. Lisa's husband Ed, was released from his contract with Oakland, Deshawn is continuing to work on expanding her foundation, NeNe hasn't made any moves towards identifying her real daddy and Kim still hasn't stopped smoking. I thought the finale was mediocre and uneventful in comparison to the rest of the season, but brace yourselves people 'cause as I said in a previous post the plot thickens for the reunion episode. From what I heard and saw on the promos the ishh really hits the fan!! I will definitely stay tuned for the big bang!
Tune in to Bravo next Tuesday, November 25th @ 9pm!

No More Chuck E. Cheese Pleeeease!

As you all already know, I am a social worker. So every Monday I supervise a Parent/Child visit for two hours. I accompany a man and woman with their son into the community and observe their interaction, simple enough right? NOT!! EVERY STINKIN' MONDAY these parents decide to go to Chuck E. Cheese with their son, and I get the luxury of taggin' along. Now the first couple of times I really didn't mind, however, at this point I'm ready to blow a fricken fuse! I have had to go to Chuck E. Cheese more than any adult should ever have to. The one good thing is that because it's early in the day, and it's a weekday, the place is never jam packed with screamin' kids. However, I have made the final and irrevocable decision to never allow my kids to go to Chuck E.Cheese. I am traumatized to the point of no return. So now it's Sunday night and I'm dreading what I know I have in store for me tomorrow. Ughh!
Feel free to leave me your comments and suggestions. I need to convince these parents that there is life beyond that big friendly rat!

More Drama With The Real House Wives!

Imagine my shock when I found out that Real Housewives of Atlanta's Lisa and Kim had it out during the taping of the reunion show!! For those of you who actually watch the show, Lisa Hartwell has been the one woman on the show who hasn't been apart of any of the drama. Through out the season she has been the more neutral party, but word on the street is that Lisa went ape shit on Kim after being fed up of her talking shit during the taping. The following is an excerpt from Lisa's interview with Essence.com:

"I’ve been extremely diplomatic and there are horrible things I could have said but I have chosen not to and still do...When you come after my integrity or my family, then you’re going to see a different person."


Lisa says viewers will probably be caught off guard by what they see during the show which will be airing on November 25th

"People will be surprised because I was surprised and somewhat embarrassed myself," she says. "But I’m human and you have to let people know that they can’t just say whatever they want to you."

"I was naïve coming in and I’ve learned some people just have ill intentions," she says, "so I will deal with each individual accordingly. But people need to know that yes, I’m a businesswoman but I’m also a sparring woman!

Lisa allegedly slaps Kim in her face, and Kim is said to be speaking with a lawyer about the ordeal. Holy shirts and ties!! I have to say I was genuinely shocked when I heard about this! It doesn't even sound like Lisa's style to get violent, but like she said, the viewers are probably gonna be caught off guard by what we see. I for one cannot wait to see that reunion special!
Once again, it airs on Bravo on November 25th @ 9pm!

Kanye Arrested Again!

According to E!News, Kanyeezy was arrested in Newcastle, England early Friday morning for assaulting a photographer. Kanye allegedly pushed the photographer's camera into his face just before exiting a night club. Kanye was later picked up at his hotel room, and arrested on assault charges! After being questioned by the police, Kanyeezy was released (lol, that rhymes). Some of you might remember the photog fiasco that occurred with Kanye and his assistant at LAX airport a couple months ago. Paparazzos beware!! I love yeezy, I mean, seriously, he is extremely talented, but I'm in fear that this boy might be losin' his screws, this erratic behavior is totally counterproductive for him...

Beyonce on Oprah

So I tuned in to my girl Oprah today to see my other girl Beyonce because I knew that if anyone could get "B" to talk about her marriage to Jay-Z, it would be Oprah. And lord knows Oprah asked the killer questions about the location of the marriage, and how they pulled off keeping it quiet, but "B" would not budge. She spoke about how happy and excited she is to be a wife, but that was all we were gettin', lol. I have to say that Beyonce was soo classy and polite about the whole thing, she let it be known how important it is for her private life to be kept sacred, however, for those that might have had any doubt left, it is confirmed that she is thee Mrs. Carter. Next Oprah asked "B" if the pregnancy rumors are true, she put that to rest by stating that while she does want children some day, she is not ready at the moment. After getting through the painful questions, they then discussed "B"s up coming album: I am... Sasha Fierce, due out Next Tuesday, November 18th. The album is supposed to be a combination of Beyonce's more intimate and vulnerable side with her more racey and sexy alter ego (Sasha). The two also discussed the movie Cadillac Records in which Beyonce plays legendary blues singer Etta James. The flick will be in theaters on December 5th, and apparently "B" is getting rave reviews for her performance! The show was closed with Beyonce giving a nice performance of her single "If I were a boy". I love that darn Beyonce, I'm totally a groupie for her! Lol

Keyshia Is Back!

On Tuesday night Keyshia Cole's hit reality show: The Way It Is premiered on BET for a 3rd season. Keyshia is in the midst of recording her 3rd album and still tryin' her darnest to unite her foster family and her birth family. Keyshia's sister Neffe was able to get a nice home for her and her children (with Keyshia's assistance), and Frankie is still bringing drama everywhere she goes. I have to say I find this show extremely entertaining! Keyshia's biological mother Frankie is a hott burnin' mess! The season premiered with her lashing out at everyone around her, as usual. By the end of the the show Frankie had cursed out her daughter Neffe, Keyshia and Yvonne (Keyshia's foster/adopted mother). In Frankie's twisted world she's the victim, never mind her 6 kids that were spread out all over the place, and left up to the mercy of the world. As a social worker I have to shake my head at mothers like her. Anywho, I'm a big fan of Keyshia, and god bless her for being brave enough to expose her family to the world (that is not easy). The Way It Is is a good show, and more importantly it offers a well needed dose of reality that's been lacking from a lot of these "reality" tv shows.

Catch the show on Tuesdays @ 10pm on BET!

A Bit Disappointed

So I was watchin' the video for Jazmine Sullivan's new single I Bust Your Windows, and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I love that song, and lord knows I can relate to wantin' to make a nucca feel sorry for doing the heel and toe on my damn heart! Fricken heartless scumbags! Let me breathe, I'm getting all kinds of flashbacks, LOL. Anywho, I was expectin' to see her puttin' in work on some one's Benz or something like that! Instead she's in the house pouring out wine and champelly, and breaking glasses. I was sitting there thinking What The Eff??! Where's that crow bar that I envisioned? Where's the anger, the disgust, the outrage?? The song is great, and Jazmine's voice is even better, therefore the video should have made those colorful lyrics come to life. She fell very short of that. Jazmine Sullivan's next single is supposedly gonna be her song Lions and Tigers and Bears, another great song that I am definitely looking forward to seeing a video for! Hopefully her next video does the song justice...

NeNe and Kim go splitsville!

So I'm writing about Tuesday's (11/4) episode of The Real Housewives a little late because I couldn't take my eyes off of the election coverage long enough to watch the fricken show. I recorded it on my good ole DVR and decided that I would catch up on the weekend. So on the newest episode, we catch up with Kim and her aspiring music career. Music producer Dallas Austin sent Kim to get some vocal lessons from a friend of his. The lesson went horribly ( needless to say). The vocal coach basically told Kim that she had no talent, and Kim completely disagreed, LMAO. I like Kim, and she seems really cool, but she's gonna need a serious prayer to assist her with her music career. So while Kim is attempting to get her career on, cut to NeNe(her Bffer) mocking her to the other girls, and making fun of her lack of talent. NeNe went in on Kim and totally put her on blast in front of everyone! Could NeNe's hate be stemming from the fact that all of a sudden Kim and Sheree(NeNe's arch nemesis) are starting to hang out a lot more?? And let me add that Sheree knows she aint right, sittin' on the sideline telling Kim that she has a great voice. Kim needs a real friend that can let her know that she needs muchos work to get where she wants to be. So anywho, of course word gets back to Kim about NeNe making fun of her behind her back, and the rest of the episode plays out like a bunch of teens in school going from clique to clique. Kim vows never to speak to NeNe again and goes as far as to text her and give her a piece of her mind! Now for anyone who's been following this show from the beginning, you know that NeNe and Kim were like ebony and ivory, so them not talking anymore is crazy! I have to admit that this episode was entertaining, but I couldn't help but wondering when the caddiness and bitchiness ends? I've always thought that it was something that you grow and mature out of, but I guess that may not be the case. I pray that when I'm in my 30s livin' comfortably with my husband kids, that I'm not dealin' with foolishness like that.... On next week's episode, we finally find out the verdict on NeNe's paternity dilemma and we see what happens with Sheree's clothing line! I can't wait.
Tuesdays @ 10 pm on Bravo.

New Will Smith Flick!

When I heard that cutie pa-tootie Will Smith was gonna be on Oprah on Thursday November 6th, I couldn't wait to tune in. I recorded the show on my DVR and braced my self to see what hilarious thing Will would say or do. He did indeed say some funny and poignant things, but it was the news of his new movie that really caught my attention. So In Will's new flick 7 pounds he plays a widower who's given up on life, but before he ends it all, he sets out to change the lives of 7 strangers. He co-stars in the movie with actress Rosario Dawson. The movie is surrounded by a lot of mystery and suspense! The trailer that Oprah narrated made me wish I was in the audience getting a darn sneak peek!! Of course Oprah and the audience already saw the movie, and they gave it rave reviews! The movie opens up in theaters on December 19th. Will doesn't usually disappoint, so I for one will be seeing this one!

Ri- Ri's New Video!

Let me start by saying that I Adore Rihanna! I respect and admire her so much for the way she tweeked her style and came into her own kick ass skin! She's so naturally beautiful, and she definitely has the talent and drive that will give her longevity in the music industry! Her last video Disturbia was great, and now she has just finished shooting the video for her single Rehab (my favorite song on the album) and Justin Timberlake (who also co-wrote the song) is featured in the video. I can't wait for the fricken premiere!!

Yes We Can!

So we actually have a BLACK president! I have to admit that I never thought that I would see this day. I feel soo humbled, fortunate and proud to be apart of this day in history. I'm gonna keep this blog short and to the point, because it seems that no amount of words or adjectives can do this moment justice. So in the words of Obama and so many others: YES WE CAN!!

Obama's Grandmother Loses Her Battle!

It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of Barack Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham. She lost her battle with cancer this morning. Channel 7 news reports that she died peacefully at her home in Hawaii. Unfortunately she didn't make it to see what a historic impact her grandson could have had on our country. I personally just want to take this time to acknowledge Madelyn Dunham for giving us such a wonderful, influential and courageous man! Barack Obama always credits her for raising him with the stability, strength and love that he was unable to receive from his parents (due to the fact that his father was absent and his mother traveled a lot). Our prayers are with Barack today and tomorrow as he prepares to push forward without his grandmother.

So even though I love my career as a social worker, I would also love a career in event planning! This year I decided that since I have my own apartment that I should plan and host a bomb ass Halloween bash at my place! My friend Josy and I set the plans in motion, and the rest is history! Above are a few pics from the epic night! Enjoy
