Thoughts on Basketball Wives S4 E1


  • Why is everyone in New York? Is the show migrating?
  • Here's another show with women early 30's to early 40's acting like teenagers. As annoying as Bad Girls Club is, they get a pass of sorts because 
  • I never took Jen and Evelyn as best friends. They were more like shopping and dining buddies. Just because you've known someone for 10 years doesn't mean they're your best friend. 
  • I'm thinking that Evelyn is not going to have bridesmaids because she doesn't have any friends. Evelyn is the type of person who will screw anything and anyone to get to where she is. I do think that Jen should have kept it kewte, not a typo, when asked about Chad and Evelyn but I think that now that Evelyn has a baller willing to marry her, that she doesn't need Jen anymore. 
  • Evelyn knows who to try it with. She tried it with Royce but once she realized that Royce is more than willing to throw hands instead of drinks, she just started ignoring her. She knew that Suzie wouldn't do anything and she knows that Jen won't do anything. 
  • Suzie, Suzie, Suzie. They treat Suzie like she's 5 and she allows them to treat her like that. Isn't Suzie in her 30's with 2 kids? 
  • I knew that they would get Royce new friends. Although no one on this show really likes her, I knew they could find people whose sole purpose is to be her friend. It's not hard to do.
  • I'm tired of Shaunie's "I don't have any power/I have all the power" flip flop. Shaunie likes to hide her hand when it's convenient but also yield her power when she thinks she can.
  • Suzie was very two-faced with Royce. In season 2, Royce was the only one who stood by her and said she would hang out with Suzie when no one else, including Jenifer and Evelyn said they would. Suzie was quick to throw Royce under the bus the second Evelyn realized her worth as a mole. Evelyn was very mean to Suzie and Suzie should remember that. Not saying that she has to hold a grudge but she shouldn't try to be Evelyn's friend. Evelyn, Jen, and Shaunie said they wouldn't hang out with her. When Evelyn was bullying her, no one came to her defense but now they're all buddy-buddy. 
  • Why is Suzie demonstrating oral sex in public? What is wrong with Suzie? These girls have been with ballers for years, trust they know how to give oral sex. Who taught Suzie how to act in public? 
  •  Suzie has some nerve to be mad that someone told her business. Suzie is texting what the person said before they stop talking. Suze, to the corner with a dunce hat. 
  • I have no sympathy with for and that drink throwing thing. She threw a whole glass at him, as he was walking away, so she started it. You have to admit the way Eric splashed that drink in her face with precision was priceless. It was a perfect hoe-shower. 
  • I hate when people go on and on in a fight. Either you're gonna hit me or you're gonna shut up. If Evelyn was really going to hit Jen, she would have. Evelyn is not gonna do ish.
  • I wonder if Meeka still has the lawsuit against Tami, which I think is completely justified. She had no reason to hit her and I wouldn't listen to the other women about dropping it. Tami is too old to be hitting people for no reason. 
  • What is going on with Tami's weave? Are those braids? Hmmm... 

Basketball Wives S4 E2



  • Can we get Suzie a seat in the corner? Please. Suzie was never my favorite but she's doing way too much for me. How quickly we forget that Suzie was on the outs with everyone including Evelyn and Shaunie. Evelyn talked about Suzie in every way and threatened to beat her up at every meeting and now they're buddy-buddy. GOH. I can't be friends with someone who treated me like that.
  • Evelyn looks off in the confessional with the beige and bright green eye-shadow. 
  • All these women are shady and I would not consider any of them my friends. Wasn't Jen just in the circle and now everyone, including Shaunie, is talking about Jen? Whatever. Watching them talk about Jen like a bunch of high schoolers is making me sick. They're all fake. 
  • I do think Jen has changed. She's been through a lot the last few months and it's showing. They want her to remain the submissive puppy and Jen is not doing that anymore. 
  • I understand why Evelyn is mad. I think she takes her anger to the extreme but I get it. If you don't agree with my choice in a mate, fine but you don't have to tell the world about it. Jen shouldn't be doing interviews or writing blogs about Chad and Evelyn because it's none of her business. She should have kept it cute. She should have said "I'm happy for Evelyn" and kept it moving. She needs to keep Evelyn's name out of her mouth. I do think that Evelyn needs anger management because she over reacts and sometimes it's like, "it's not that serious."
  • I'm guessing that Evelyn doesn't do Dulce anymore since she's running around the world with Chad and filming in New York. Did Dulce make money anyway? It always seemed empty and the only customer she's ever had was Ashley. 
  • Why does Suzie feel the need to be peacemaker? If they don't wanna be friends, fine. Let it go. 
  • I don't know how I feel about Royce's weave. She seems to have stepped her game up this season but that weave is questionable. 
  • Who does Evelyn's eyebrows because they're always on point? 
  • Evelyn's nails are also on point. I'm trying to see what color that is. It looks like Uh-oh Roll Down Your Window  by Opi   http://www.amazon.com/OPI-Uh-oh-Window-Touring-America/dp/B005F286MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330548296&sr=8-1  but it's hard to pinpoint. I need to ask her on Twitter. 
  • Royce has a degree in theater? Oh. She can't act at all. The only reason she has the part is because of Basketball Wives
  • Evelyn looks nothing like her family. She looks a bit like her dad but nothing like her sister and mother. 
  • Why does Evelyn look like she's forcing out her tears? 
  • What age do you stop wearing high ponytails with colored scrunchies? 
  • Jen's hair normally looks natural but now it looks like a weave.
  • Did Suzie, who just demonstrated oral sex in public , ask if someone does porn? Suzie irritates me. I can't with her. 
  • Who are these low budget people rolling with Kenya? They look like someone's cousins that she's doing a favor for by hiring them. I wouldn't take her seriously if she rolled in with them trying to negotiate.
  • Why would a person who has no money try to rent out the hottest club in NYC? What sense does that make? I hate when people try to negotiate knowing well before they came into the place, that they couldn't afford it. 
  • What is going on with Kenya's weave? It needs a deep conditioning and a good flat ironing.
  • Suzie shouldn't be picking a fight with anyone. We know that Suzie isn't gangsta and that she can't fight. I think that Suzie thinks that she can do whatever to the new girls because they're new but she needs to know that Evelyn, Tami, Jen, and Shaunie won't fight for her. They don't like her, they just realize her value as a mole. Suzie has alienated the only person who may have fought for her. 
  • Did Suzie just do the "do something" neck roll? This heifer continues to try it. 
  • What is going on with Kenya's confessional? That weave is not the business nor is her outfit. Kenya looks 50 not 35. 
  • We need to go down a list of things that Suzie is too old to be doing. She's too old to wear a high ponytail with a green scrunchie, she's too old to demonstrate sex in public, she's too old to run her mouth about people's business. 
  • Royce knows that Suzie is headed for a beat down. 
  • Suzie is the last person who should be talking about how someone chooses friends. Her friends are people that threatened to beat her up and talked about her like a dog and said that they wouldn't hang out with her publicly. 
  • Evelyn has had two broken engagements and I'm sure that she was giving lots of blow jobs and Suzie has two kids but was never married and she's a pro at blow jobs, what's their excuse? 
  • Maybe Kesha wears too much make up or needs a better skin care routine because she looks old. 
  • Is Evelyn really co-signing Suzie's foolishness? 
  • Do these women really expect to get ahead with Basketball Wives fame? The only person who really seems to be advancing is Shaunie and we all know that Shaunie stirs the drama but is never in the drama. She never reveals any of her business and her relationship is not on the show. If you notice, NeNe has toned down her antics and is now acting like she has some sense because she knows that she can't act like that and have successful side hustles. 
  • Tami's weave needs some deep conditioning too.
  • Why is Royce planning a baby with someone she just met?
  • Like I said yesterday, I understand Evelyn's rationale but I do believe that she isn't as happy in her relationship as she would like the world to believe. Chad is screwing around now and she understands that the life she lives comes with a price.

What is Kid Cudi Doing?



Do I have to write a "someone come get Kid Cudi" post? I don't know who that would be because Kanye is his mentor and someone needs to get Kanye and I don't know who his industry friends are, but they are officially on alert.

Last night, Kid Cudi symbolically killed himself and tattooed bloody slits on his wrist to prove it. This whole thing is ridiculous and I hope this isn't a symptom of a deeper problem. In random thoughts, why do people get crazy tattoos that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives? Kid Cudi has a half naked woman and slit wrists. None of it makes sense. How many hits has he had? Unless he only plans to be a musician, which seems unlikely, he needs to slow down on the tattoos. It's very expensive to cover/cgi them out and most TV/movie producers try to avoid people with visible tattoos unless they are proven cash cows. Kid Cudi hasn't proven himself to the point where he can play by his own rules. Kid Cudi, get it together.




Ameriie In Sheen Magazine

I love Ameriie. When I interviewed her a couple years back, she was one of the sweetest people ever, so don't . First, what is Sheen Magazine? I have never heard of it. Never. Second, they must be paying for posts because Ameriie is a irrelevant in the states and no one has heard of this magazine, but it is on every blog. Also, who did Ameriie's make up? She looks ashy and off. And yes, Ameriie looks like Kourtney Kardashian. Maybe she can befriend them and make money that way. Other than that non-shade, shade, these pics are nice.


Rita Ora and Rihanna


The blogosphere has been abuzz with rumors of Jay-Z setting Rita Ora up to replace Rihanna. Who is Rita Ora? She's a British singer, who looks black but is of middle eastern descent, who has been on Roc Nation for two years, looks like a mix of Beyonce and Rihanna, Beyana as someone put it, and is in good with the boss. Rita has a personal relationship with Beyonce and Jay-Z, both of whom mentor her. Rita has even said that Beyonce listens to her album and gives her feedback. Does Beyonce do that for anyone not in Destiny's Child? Rita is also the only artist that Jay-Z has personally introduced to the world. Last week, he walked her into the biggest radio station in the country to debut her single "Party and Bull%*(." Jay-Z did not do that for Rihanna. He barely acknowledged Rihanna publicly until she started doing well. Either Jay-Z really believes in Rita or has a different type of relationship with her.

Where is Rihanna at with her career? Rihanna, although one of the biggest stars in the world, is noticeably on the decline. I, personally, feel that Rihanna was at her best during the Loud era and now seems to be just okay.  Her singles are doing well but on the personal front, Rihanna is struggling. She is exhausted, allegedly using drugs and alcohol, and she has told the powers to be to eff off. Rumor is that Jay-Z went out of his way to help Rihanna after her incident with Chris Brown and is angry that she is throwing away all of his hard work by reconciling with Chris Brown. Rihanna is doing what she wants to do and that's never a good sign in the music industry. Rihanna is a rebel, which is fine for her image, but she's becoming too rebellious and I do believe that Jay-Z is sending her a message by bringing Rita Ora into the forefront.

 I know that people believe that the stans sustain an artist, but it's unbelievably easy to ruin an artist. All Jay-Z has to do is ask the radio and TV stations to swap Rihanna's music for Rita's and ask the press to report on Rita instead of Rihanna and voila, it's Rihanna who? It's not that hard. I believe one of the reasons why Beyonce has remained so successful is because she's played by the rules. She understands that the powers at hand could easily take everything from her. Rihanna doesn't understand that. Rihanna better get in line before she finds herself irrelevant. I don't know if Rita will replace Rihanna but I do know she has the perfect stats to replace Rihanna. Rita's debut single sounds like something that was made for Rihanna. This girl is Rihanna 2.0 and Rihanna better pay attention and get it together ASAP.

Someone, Come Get Willow Smith

I'm not going to judge the Smith family or Will and Jada's parenting because I don't know them or the ins and outs of their household, but based on what I've been seeing from Willow, it may be time to take a different approach.

I don't know Willow's life but one has to wonder what is so hard about her life? People go through struggles, but at 11 your life should be easy. The only thing you should do at 11 is wake up, eat, dress yourself, go to school, have petty 11 year old issues, stuff like that. You should not have adult issues at 11. I don't care who the child is, there is no child who should have adult issues. I've always felt that Willow had too much freedom. I understand not stifling a child's creativity, but children are still children and they need boundaries. Willow is a little too free for my liking. When she was on Oprah, she had a very relaxed stance that showed there was no clear boundary between adults and children in Willow's world. Jada has stated that Willow is not forced to go to school and she can choose her own punishments? Really? Is Willow getting any education and if a child chooses the punishment, does it count as a punishment? There needs to be some structure and a clear line between adults and children.

I don't know what Willow's issue is, but someone needs to get her ASAP. This won't end well. I see another Drew Barrymore in the works. Too little parenting, too much adult responsibility, too much money is not a good combination. Will, Jada, grandparents, somebody, Willow Smith needs you now.

My Thoughts on Evelyn, Chad, and Open Infidelity

I'm not gonna go too much into this because I didn't see the episode, I only saw the review and read the transcript, plus I wrote something similar to this a couple months ago with Love and Hip Hop. On last night's Basketball Wives, Chad told Evelyn on national TV that he has no plans to be faithful to her, before and after marriage, and Evelyn's only response was to buy him condoms. Maybe that's why Evelyn is so mad at Jen because she's right. I don't care what people say about Evelyn and Chad's relationship, Evelyn is miserable and it shows in her actions. A person who has found the love of their love and is getting married, would not be focused on petty stuff and trying to fight at every turn. I believe that Evelyn wants all of Chad, but like one blogger said, she's willing to sacrifice part for the whole. Evelyn is miserable and will continue to be miserable. I don't care how much of a blind eye one turns to cheating, the groupies of today are not the groupies of old. Mistresses understood that the man had a wife and that she was not to be seen or heard. They knew their place. Now mistresses see affairs as ways to become the wife and will often put themselves out there in an effort to get the wife to leave the man. Even if the man is quiet with his affairs, there is no guarantee that the woman will be.

When Evelyn and Chad first got together, I believe he liked the fame that being in a high profile relationship brought him and I believe that Evelyn liked jet setting lifestyle that being with Ochocinco provided. Now I think that Evelyn just wants to make it to the altar and Chad still wants the fame and the open marriage that Evelyn is offering him. This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen and we know that this won't work in the long run. You can see that Evelyn is unhappy with the arrangement, and truthfully, she deserves better than a man who is only offering part of himself to her.

A Dream Come True...

It looks like Emily's plan is working. Fab is now claiming Emily and walking the red carpet with her. They look awkward and uncomfortable with each other, which is very weird considering they've been together for 10 years. Can we talk about the irony of the red carpet? Can someone gift Emily a copy of Steve Harvey's book? I think she should read it cover to cover twice.

Whitney Houston On the Set of Sparkle


BFV S2 E15



  • Not much happened this episode, so this recap will be short.
  • Toni is actually in this episode for more than 2 seconds and she actually says stuff.
  • Was Traci in last week's episode? I don't remember her.
  • I smell hatin'. They're hating because Tamar is performing and no one asked them. At least Trina is open with her hating.
  • Tamar should have practiced more. Her part is only a minute but she doesn't know the lyrics of the song? She should at least know the song she's singing. Tamar will never be a singing star, she doesn't seem professional.
  • I don't know if Doc and Mama Braxton should get married so soon but I don't know if they should live in sin. They're from the old school where if you liked someone, you got married and I don't think their lack of concern for the wedding means they shouldn't get married. When you're older, you don't care about the theatrics. I think they're getting married for the show. 
  • The Braxton's being late is why they'll never pop. They should have did what Tamar did and they would have been on time.
  • They're hating, which is why no one wanted to go to Tamar's rehearsal, but then again, I don't really want to go to anyone's rehearsal.
  • I'm kind of dissapointed in Tamar, she seemed so unprepared and unprofessional for her performance, which was one minute. 
  • I need Trina to have a seat in the corner with her complaining. At least she was invited.
  • Tamar and her criticism. Of course, she could have, and should have, been better but that's neither here nor there.
  • Where was Toni? I know she supports her sister's but she never seems to be there for their stuff. 

An Open Letter to Chris Brown


Chris, we need to talk ASAP. We're not even gonna talk about you and Rihanna, we're gonna talk about you and your self destructive behavior.You are a spoiled brat and you need someone to put their foot down and tell you the truth.  Your mom is too busy counting that Breezy money and cyber butt kissing. It's an interesting relationship when the child is the sole bread winner. Where are your people? They all need to be fired and you need people who will allow you to be the best you  I understand you feel attacked but it's time for you to grow up. You are an adult with a multi-million dollar empire riding on your shoulders, you should really try to act like it. You are nobody's victim. You are a volunteer. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "nobody can make you inferior without your consent." In your case, it doesn't matter how many people you feel are "coming for you" you don't have to react. You don't have to respond to every one  says something less than adoring about you. Silence, in your case, is golden. Twitter silence is platinum. It is very immature for you to go on these twitter rants and then delete them. Maybe you should get a journal. Maybe you should take a boxing class. Maybe you should go back to anger management. You need something because this isn't working. I know you feel like you are being wronged by people constantly bringing up the fact that you beat the crap out of Rihanna, and I do agree that they should move on, but you did that. Instead of being offended and throwing temper tantrums about being asked about it, you should just say "I learned from my mistakes" and move on. People will always ask about it because it was shocking. You have issues that need to be addressed immediately.

I fear for the day when you are no longer on top. You can barely handle criticism, I can't imagine the day when your album fails to go platinum. I remember after the incident when you went crying on Twitter about you "can't be a mixtape artist" or something like that. I don't know how long you worked before your first album came out, but you have had success since day 1. I don't think you've heard the word no in years. I don't think anyone has truly told you about yourself. You are your own worst enemy and you need help before you destroy everything you've worked hard to build.

Find the girl and give her back her phone. While you're at it, apologize and throw $500 her way. That would make me drop charges immediately. That phone is very expensive and she probably worked very hard for it and you should return her phone like yesterday.

Brandy and Monica in People Magazine


On what happened when Whitney Houston stopped by their Pre-Grammy party rehearsalBrandy: She was like our godmom. I kept asking, ‘Does it sound good?’ and she said, ‘It sounds great but turn the band down’
Monica: She was lively and she us to make her proud. I thank God for those last few moments with her.
On what it was like for them to work together againBrandy: I’m honored. It doesn’t feel like work [tears up]
Monica: Don’t start. In the studio she’d have glassy eyes. I’m like ‘Brandy!’ She’s very emotional.
On how they both been affected by deathMonica: Death made me appreciate life. After burying my first love, I realized life was too short.
Brandy: I wish I had spoken to Monica after that terrible accident. It was a very hard time. My life had to be perfect; I didn’t want to show my mistakes. I learned the hard way you had to take responsibility.
On their relationshipsMonica: I sing differently since I’ve met my husband. And he is so attentive to my kids [Rodney 6, and Romelo, 4 with rapper Rocko Hill].
Brandy: My daughter Syrai [9; dad is producer Robert Smith] loves Ryan, and he loves me for me. But I don’t have a ring.
Monica: Girl, I got you. I talked to Ryan. You’re good.
Brandy: You did? I told Ryan I’d marry him with a bubble-gum ring
I know that Brandy is trying to be cute but she just seems desperate. I feel like Brandy would marry anyone who asks. I'm glad both women are happy.


Meagan Good as Whitney Houston?


Why not? Everything has been turned into a movie and it wouldn't shock me if Whitney's life story was turned into a movie. According to Meagan Good, she and Whitney Houston were in early talks about her staring in a movie about the late singer's life. Besides the fact that Meagan would never do her own singing in the film, there is no other information available about the film. As of now, it's just an idea.

I'm indifferent on it. I'm not going to knock Meagan because I don't know what she would do with the film but eh.

Art By Beyonce

Wondering what Beyonce was up to while she was on maternity leave? Well it looks like Beyonce has taken time to polish her art skills. According to a random source, who is probably Beyonce's publicist, Beyonce has done four paintings and one of them is of Jay-z holding Blue Ivy.

Beyonce is pretty talented. I would buy this painting.

Ummmm...

Here is Big Ang from Mob Wives as Marilyn Monroe. These photos look cheap. The wig is cheap and you can see Big Ang's farmer tan on legs. Someone should have done a better job before approving these.

What is Going On Here?


And why? Did Anna Wintour do this to make fun of Nicki? I like the top/dress but why is Nicki blue and why does her face look constipated? This does not look artistic, it looks wrong.


On discovering make up at LaGuardia High SchoolI was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.
On not being label-obsessed but admitting to spending $50,000 at one time on certain itemsIf I can combine designer things with other things, I’m a happy camper. Giuseppe, Versace, YSL, and Fendi shoes. And I bought tons of Vuitton bags. When you’re a young girl from Queens, you’re going to stock up on those bags.
On what she’s planning to do for young girls An enormous foundation to nurture girls. The Nicki Minaj girl is a fun, artsy girl who can become a fierce force to be reckoned with on Wall Street! They hang on my every word, so I tell them, go to school, be ambitious. The worst position is to be financially dependent on the man. I could never be that girl.

Rihanna ft. Chris Brown- Birthday Cake (Remix)



I don't have much to say about Chris Brown and Rihanna. I feel like they're grown people and if they want to get back together, then they should have the right to. If they want to make music, they should have the right to also. It's not a shock that they're reconciling. Their relationship ended abruptly after the incident and there probably wasn't closure.

Evelyn Lozada's Essence Wedding Shoot


I still have my doubts that Evelyn and Chad will actually get married. If they get married, I think they won't stay married. They seem to have more of an arrangement than a relationship, but this is only based on what I've seen from them publicly. There is a reason why Evelyn has been engaged 3 times and has yet to walk down the aisle. She seems down for her man but it's something that causes them not to seal the deal. Maybe her and Chad will actually marry and stay married. These pics are gorgeous. When I get married, I want my pics to look like these.


Bobby Brown to the Corner


I don't know what happened between Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's family but I want him to have a seat in the corner. Bobby Brown was doing too much at the funeral and made it all about him. First of all, I don't care of Whitney raised those kids from birth, if they weren't invited, he shouldn't have brought them. Period, the end. If it said 2, then he should have brought 2. Maybe 3, but he should have only brought 2. Second, he shouldn't have released a statement. He should have been quiet and allowed the day to belong to his daughter and his ex-wife. I do believe that Whitney's family feels some type of way about him but still. Bobby Brown was doing too much. No matter what went down, it was disrespectful to make it all about him when it should have been about Whitney.

My Gift to Miranda Lambert


I am by no means "team breezy" or even a casual Chris Brown fan, but I need country singer Miranda Lambert to take a seat.

This week Miranda Lambert decided to protest against the Grammy's allowing Chris Brown to perform twice and awarding him a Grammy. Okay. Isn't she 3 years too late? And what does it have to do with her? We've all heard the stories of Chris Brown and Rihanna spending time together and them reconciling. So. We all feel some kind of way about domestic violence and friends in dead end relationships but that is Rihanna's life and the only person who should have a problem with what Chris Brown did is Rihanna. If she was able to move past what happened and allow the restraining order to be lifted, then why can't the world move past it? It has nothing to do with Miranda Lambert and she needs to have a seat in the corner.

I agree with Chris when he said that race plays a factor in it because didn't Charlie Sheen try to kill each of his ex-wives and a girlfriend or two? Didn't Woody Allen marry his adoptive daughter? I could go on forever and while people bring up these things, they don't stop these men from racking up awards.

I think Chris has a lot of growing up to do but if Rihanna wants to reconcile with him after what happened, then we should be happy for her.

RHOA S4 E 14



  • Marlo is a hot mess and her audition for season 5 failed miserably. I don't think there's anyone that finds Marlo entertaining or endearing. I don't like Marlo and I want her to go away.
  • Who is this guy and what is he doing? This whole thing is weird. 
  • Did this guy just say Sheree shouldn't get married again because she's too old? I was dead at that one. I don't know if Sheree will stay single forever but she doesn't seem ready to be married again. 
  • Cynthia's happily married? To who, because it surely isn't Peter? I don't think Cynthia is happy in her marriage or friendship with NeNe. She needs to take her friend's advice and divorce Peter and bring Noelle back to New York. 
  • Why is NeNe so far up Marlo's butt? Can NeNe breathe?
  • Did I say I dislike Marlo? I did? Okay, I'll say it again. I don't like Marlo. What's the point of bringing all this stuff and showing it off like she did something special? Didn't Beyonce say, "if you're gonna flaunt, make sure it's your money you flaunt?" I will give it to Marlo, she is living well off of tricking but she could at least put that into something that will make money, that's what a really smart person does. Anyone can acquire stuff but Marlo is  empty inside. Marlo is as deep as a shot glass. I guess this is her trying to take Kim's spot in season 5 but it's an epic fail. I just don't like Marlo. 
  • Sheree looks like the type that will tell her man "no baby, not tonight." I know her and Bob have kids, but they don't look like they have sex and Sheree looks too uptight for kinky sex. 
  • So Marlo isn't superficial and materialistic? Really? I guess all the brown in NeNe's eyes and ears is blocking her judgement. I think Kim, NeNe, and Marlo are all superficial. Kim and Marlo are very similar.  
  • I feel like I'm watching women in the early to late 20's with no responsibilities, instead of 6 mid 30's to mid 40's women with kids, careers, and husbands. 
  • Phaedra looks so matronly. Her clothes, hair, and mannerisms put 30 years on her. She doesn't have to look young or try to be ultra sexy but she looks so old. 
  • Cynthia is another Jenifer from Basketball Wives; she's a different person without her masters. Can Cynthia breathe without Peter or NeNe allowing her to?
  • I would have worn tennis shoes, or athletic shoes for those not familiar with that slang, I don't do sandals and grass. I need enclosed shoes.
  • There's Cynthia's master making sure that her slave isn't acting out of line. Cynthia is a grown woman, who functioned 44 plus years without Peter and NeNe guiding her, Cynthia is fine. Cynthia girl, get a backbone. NeNe, nor Peter, respects you. 
  • NeNe needs to have a seat. She is annoying me. She was so entertaining in season 1, now I don't know what she's doing. 
  • Why is NeNe so tan and why is her hair so blonde? I don't like any of it. Her hair makes her look bigger than she is. 
  • There is something about Kandi's look, her outfit and hair, that is taking me back to her Xscape days. She looks younger and fresher but I don't know if that's a good thing.
  • Cynthia gets a side eye for this. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out during the reunion. From what I can see, Cynthia does not like Marlo, so why is she pretending now that her master is here?
  • Kim is not missing y'all. Kim barely wants to be around you guys now that she has her new man, new home, and new baby. The only reason Kim is still on this show is because she's too boring for a spin off. 
  • I don't take Kim as a racist. I think she's stuck up and very selective but I don't think she's racist. 
  • Sheree was being messy. Kandi co-signed the comment but she didn't say it. Sheree is at the age when she should know that if it doesn't directly involve you or has the potential to hurt someone, then you should mind your business.
  • Sweetie and that pink lipstick. Sweetie is trying but Kim is obviously not her friend because she would have told her to pick another color. 
  • I need them to ship NeNe away with Marlo. I used to like NeNe but she is doing too much. Look at her starting drama. NeNe is Cynthia's boss. She came to the safari to make sure her minion wasn't doing anything that she didn't approve of.
  • Can we dead this conversation about Marlo and her fashions? Who cares? She's more of a label whore than fashionista. I have yet to look at a Marlo outfit and go, "I need to recreate that." If you have to have a label to feel fashionable, you are not a fashionista. She doesn't look bad but she just looks expensive.
  • What is going on with Kim's wig next week? It looks like she oiled it but it came out greasy, so she she styled it and failed. Where is Derek J?

BFV S2 E14



  • Instead of the typical Braxton Family pic, I decided to switch it up and use a gif instead. I wanted to use a gif with the whole family but this one of Tamar is funny. 
  • Congrats to Mama Braxton for getting married. How long has she known Doc and is she in love with him? She seemed excited but not too enthusiastic about it. I guess when you become older, all that superficial stuff like giddiness and "the one" doesn't matter anymore. 
  • I get where Tamar is coming from, but Vince has been in the hospital for a month and he is in another state far away from where everyone lives, they can't hold vigil at his bed for a month. They have lives, jobs, and families to attend to. I know Tamar and Vince wants everyone's support, but everyone has lives and responsibilities they need to take care of. Their going to the mall was a bit insensitive. They could have gone to see Vince since they were in New York to spend time with Vince and Tamar.
  • Next on Trina and Gabe.
  • It must be nice to have that much money that you can accumulate so much stuff that you need two apartments to hold all your stuff. We know stuff and apartments in New York is not cheap at all. 
  • Is Towanda really helping Tamar by taking her flat screen TVs? I wish I could offer that help. 
  • I like Tamar and I get her predicament, it's hard to go through a health scare but the fact that your husband almost died does not give you the right to be rude to everyone or make it everyone's problem.
  • How does the band make any money with so many members?
  • Technically, this isn't Trina's band but I guess it is for the sake of the show. I was wondering who was financing this band because it can't be cheap.
  • They're wedding singers...
  • The song isn't bad and neither is the band but it could be a lot better. 
  • Did they just title Christian "Gabe's competition?" Dead at WEtv.
  • Why is Trina so over the top?
  • Did Tamar just say something that sort of made sense?
  • When Tamar said something about starting a family, I gave her the side eye. Didn't Tamar just say she didn't want kids? From what I see on this show, Tamar doesn't seem ready for kids.
  • Toni is not even pretending to want to be on this show anymore. Truthfully, she's not even needed on this show. 
  • Isn't Tamar's favorite song "me, me,me,me?" It's always all about Tamar. 
  • I feel the hate coming from the other Braxtons at Tamar  because she's singing at the Soul Train Awards and they weren't even invited.

Men and Nail Polish


The first picture of Seal has been circulating as proof that he has removed his wedding ring and now is moving on from his marriage to Heidi Klum. Okay. Kudos to him. I find it shocking that people are ignoring the fact that Seal is wearing bright yellow nails; which is a fab color by the way but not for a man.

I understand that we as women want to be able to do "girlfriend" things with our men, but if I ever see my man in my nail polish collection pondering over any color but clear, we're gonna have an issue. I'm not a fan of colored nails on a man and I think it's one trend that men should stay away from. I need to talk to Seal about nail polish colors because he picks cute and flattering colors. I wonder if that was Heidi's issue with him...

Nicki Minaj, We Need to Talk




I like this new look you have going on. You're in bright colors while looking like an adult. Kudos to you and your stylist. I'm willing to forgive the eyelashes because the make up is on point. I'm a bit confused about the striped matronly suit but  if you took the jacket off, it would be better. Girl, where did you get that lace front? Better yet, who applied that lace front? Whoever did, needs to be fired ASAP. You also need to get your eyes checked because that wig is applied all kinds of wrong.

First, I can see the lace and it's not properly applied to your head.Second, I can see your natural hair color. Third, it looks like left over Barbie hair. What is going on? Nicki, you make too much money for this. I don't hate the color or even the wig, I just know you can do better. BTW, I love the bottom outfit. I will be recreating it.

Amber Riley Kills "I Will Always Love You"


This is one of the best rendition "I Will Always Love You" ever. It sounds almost identical to Whitney Houston's and Amber's voice is perfect. She killed it. If this was church, the old ladies would be waving their handkerchiefs and amening. Yes, it's that perfect. She needs to win some type of award for this performance.

It's Cheaper to Keep Her...

(tmz)


Although Kobe is prepared to give Vanessa all of his homes and half his net worth, according to the above pics snapped at the Raptors-Lakers game, it looks like Kobe may keep his money and homes.

I don't know if they were feeling the Valentine's Day Spirit or if they have really worked it out, but these pics say a lot. The couple is not officially divorced until June, so anything may happen.

Sorry gold diggers of the world, looks like Vanessa still has this mine on lock.

Wendy Raquel Robinson in Denim Magazine

(theybf)

I like the styling in this issue. I love the dress and I never would have thought to put a multi-colored skirt with an animal print top. I love the last outfit, although I don't know if I'll recreate it. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous. 
I don't watch The Game, so I don't know know much about what's going on. I do know a few of my favorite vloggers have stopped reviewing it because of the direction the show is going on. I think I may watch it and form my own opinion but from what I've heard, The Game is doing too much and veering too far left. 

DENIM:  While “The Game” is receiving record ratings since its return last season, there is still a bit of backlash. How do you and the cast handle negativity towards the show?

WRR: You know people are always looking for something fresh- something new. The criticism last year was that we [The Game] were moving too fast. Now we’re moving too slow.  We have 22 episodes and it has to build up. It’s hard for me to watch the show to see where improvement is needed- I mean if we’re in it we don’t see it.

DENIM: Do you ever see pieces of yourself in your role as Tasha Mack?  If so, in what ways are you similar?

WRR: Well I do have an alter-ego similar to Tasha Mack! [laughs] Her name is Miss Wendy! Miss Wendy about her business and will snap.  She crazy and wants things done her way! [laughs]

Nicki Minaj on the Cover of Vibe



I guess Nicki Minaj is pretending to be a fairy-tale princess or something. The pic is not bad. I don't hate that hair on her and her make up is nice. I can't say I hate it.

Here are a few excerpts from the issue:

You’ve said before that you didn’t really have fun recording Pink Friday. 
I felt like I had something to prove to everyone who said a female rapper could not make an album unless she was talking about her pussy. And so I went above and beyond to prove that I could not talk about sex and not talk about my genitalia and still have a successful album. And I proved that. And now my time for proving things to my critics is over. I don’t really need to prove anything to anyone else anymore. 
Is it still hard to get your way as a woman in this industry?
It’s not hard to get your way when it’s your way or the highway. People either follow suit or they’re not around. I don’t really like the sound of that, ‘cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. I’m just very black and white when it comes to my business. There’s really no gray area. I really don’t have a lot of small talk with people I work with. It’s pretty much let’s get the job done. In the beginning, if people didn’t know me they’d probably assume I wasn’t smart or wasn’t business savvy. But once you sit and talk to me, it’s a different story. You were heavy on the fashion scene last year around Fashion Week with Anna Wintour. 
Do you feel like you’ve been accepted by the fashion world?  
Yeah, I realized more recently that even if it’s for a fashion magazine, I’m not gonna change who I am. When I was doing photo shoots last year, I kept on being told, “This is what we want your hair to look like and this is what we want you to look like,” and it really, really stifled my creativity. So the other day I was talking to a photographer, and he said, “You know what, I like your everyday looks so much better than when you do photo shoots for magazines.” And I was like, “So do I, you’re absolutely right.” I’d been getting more and more frustrated for a while." 
But I’ve made up my mind that when you see a Nicki Minaj magazine cover from now on, it’s really going to reflect me and it’s going to be something that I creatively had a hand in, because I don’t have to do it anymore. I don’t have to do things just to please people. It’s okay to do what I love because what I love, my fans love. And they’re really the only ones that should matter. The fashion world will have to come to Nicki Minaj, as opposed to Nicki Minaj trying to go to the fashion world.

Whitney's Funeral to Be Private


Kudos to the Houston Family to keeping Whitney's funeral a private affair. I understand that people want to publicly mourn one of the biggest stars, but people tend to forget this was a human being and a mother lost her daughter and a daughter lost her mother. Death is hard enough but to speak to someone a half hour or even 5 minutes before their death and they seemed fine and now they're dead, is hard for anyone to accept. I'm sure the Houston family wanted a low key affair with Whitney's friends and people they trust.

At the funeral, scheduled for noon Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ, Marvin Winans will deliver the eulogy. Rumor is that there will be a choir full of music greats and that the church is in discussions to have a monitor outside so that people not invited to the service, can view it and pay their respects. Governor Christie ordered flags flown at half-staff during the funeral.


Gabe Into Trannies?


Yesterday, a story broke about Gabe cheating on Trina with a transsexual woman. Honestly, nothing shocks me about Gabe or Trina, it's obvious that they're cheating on each other and should have divorced years ago, but if Gabe is dating transsexual women, he wouldn't be the first "straight" man to do so. This is the same woman that JoJo Simmons supposedly got it in with last year. I'm not gonna post the pic because it is kind of suspect. The pic is a mash up and Gabe and the woman but none of them together. Unless there's a pic or video of them together, I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

Last night, Gabe released this statement about his so called tryst into trannyland:

"To All Media Outlets/Bloggers as I am sure you have read the LIES on theybf posted this morning. OK, First off I want to apologize from the bottom on my heart to my Wife Trina who deserves NONE OF THIS. I have done many things that I am not proud of that I’m sure will all unfold in the coming weeks on the show, on the blogs, the newspapers and any other way it can unfold. I canNOT undo the past. However, I am NOT into Trannies!!!! I am very heterosexual. I have no clue who the ladydude woman posted on theybf.com site is and I have never spoken to her/him/ or whatever they are claiming. Yes, I know I will be the target of many gossip bloggers because of my past record. Like I said, I have NEVER Resorted to same sex affairs or any physical affairs. I know that cheating is cheating and I am in no way making excuses. I am currently in therapy because I have a “SEX Addiction Problem. I very much want the help that it will take to restore my family. Please Bloggers do not resort to LIES! I have made my bed and now I lay in it alone everyday”

So Gabe and Trina are still trying to work this out? I know, I know, all those words and this is what I got from it. I get that Gabe is a straight man, who loves his wife, who regrets his cheating, and is a sex addict, but they're still trying to work it out? I feel like this marriage is a dead horse but maybe there is hope to work it out.

Nicki, Nicki, Nicki



Nicki Minaj is the epitome of doing too much-and that doing too much may have hurt her career. When will artists learn that you don't offend the Catholic church?

Nicki's performance confused me. I had no idea what was going on or why she was being exorcised, although the latter is not a bad idea. Was Nicki even singing? I know that she says that she doesn't lip-sync and the BET thing from a couple years back was the sound guy, but all I heard was the backing track. "Roman, take your medication," or something to that effect. I felt like this performance was more appropiate for the Academy Awards or the MTV Movie Awards, or maybe the VMAs. The Grammy's is about showcasing your talent, not your showmanship. Although Lady Gaga is the queen of theatrics, she always let her talent shine. And she always turned it out with live singing and a bit of piano playing. What was Nicki doing and why? This should have been a skit because there was no music to boot. Nicki did too much for the Grammy's.

I know that Nicki accomplished what she wanted. She wanted attention and to be noticed on the world's biggest stage, but what happened to talent shining through. I guess Adele is the only singer who can stand at a mike, sing, and slay everyone else. Say what you want about Adele, but her true talent shines through.

RHOA S4 E13



  • We're still having this insane asylum argument? Okay.
  • I don't think Marlo was upset over not being invited because in reality she wasn't invited on this trip, I think Marlo is using this as a job interview. I'm sure Marlo googled all the women and was prepared to go up against anyone, including NeNe and Cynthia, Sheree is just the one who opened the door for the conflict. 
  • Side eye to NeNe for saying she feels bad after arguments. I guess she's had a change of heart since she has other opportunities 
  • Did Bravo pay this guy a little extra to spruce up this party? It looks fun but you know those dancers and fire blowers aren't cheap.
  • I think this guy is attracted to Kandi but is also looking for a "big momma" to help him get to America and help him break into the business. 
  • I noticed that they didn't ask Sheree what she did. That's probably because she doesn't do anything. I'm sure she would have said fashion designer and actress. No shade at all. 
  • They're eating sushi in Africa? 
  • Is it bad I want Marlo to get arrested and detained in South Africa? It's not that I wish her harm or harbor any ill-will towards her, Marlo is doing too much and I don't want her on this show anymore. Marlo is not entertaining, she is annoying. 
  • Marlo is doing too much with hair and make up but when you're depending on a sugar daddy to survive, I guess you have to keep yourself on point at all times. Where are NeNe and Marlo going? I understand wanting to look your best but you're going on a safari, that's hardly hair, make-up, high heels, and new clothes necessary.
  • I don't care what NeNe says, she is allowing John to sip chocolate milk. No man would be that smitten and willing to spend all his money for a woman who is not breaking off something. 
  • I actually learned something useful from this show. I did not know that there are no Tigers in Africa. 
  • I know I should have more faith in humanity, but I find it hard to believe that most of these women actually care about these kids. I find it hard to believe that most people care about poor people. 
  • It's amazing that these kids are supposed to represent the most despondent and poorest that the country has to offer but they have so much joy. They're dancing and singing and they look happy regardless of the fact they lack material things. 
  • Marlo is as deep as an 8 oz cup. Probably a 4 oz cup.
  • I laughed when Phaedra said "caliente." 
  • I noticed Kim wasn't in this episode and I didn't care or notice. 
  • I don't know the context of the argument but Marlo is looking very unstable in that preview.

Where is Bobby Brown?



I understand that Bobby has bills to pay and that he's currently on tour on New Edition and they probably get paid based on all 6 members being there but Bobbi Kristina needs her father. TMZ is reporting, with pictures, that Bobbi Kristina was carried out of the Beverly Hilton, the same hotel where her mom died yesterday, after being hysterical, inconsolable, and exhausted. This is Bobbi Kristina's second time in the hospital in less than 24 hours.TMZ also reported that Bobbi Kristina got into a shouting match with LAPD officers.

Who is taking care of Bobbi Kristina? As of last night, Bobby was in Mississippi on tour and I have no idea where any other adults are. Someone needs to get Bobbi Kristina before something tragic happens. Reports are saying that Bobby Brown was told to stay away from the scene, all I can say is that although I am not a parent, I would dare someone to tell me to me to stay away from my child especially after such a tragedy.

Hello Blue Ivy


(helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com)

Yes, I'm a couple days late but these pics are so cute. Blue Ivy is a cute baby and she looks like Beyonce's family. I had a feeling that Beyonce would post pics of her daughter because she is in control of herself and her image. This also lowers the price for the first photo of Blue Ivy.

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend who told me people were mad about Beyonce lying about giving birth and I told him to get over it. If Beyonce had 5 surrogates and picked the baby she wanted, what does that have to do with you? Beyonce and Jay-Z are taking care of the baby and that really doesn't affect anyone.
