Why, Nicki, Why?

Kudos to Nicki Minaj for looking human. We're going to ignore the fact she needs some double stick tape and some altering to make it fit up top and a wig that isn't pink. Anything other than that "cover my eyes and whatever I pick out is what I wear" look that she has been rocking lately is an upgrade. Let's talk about her make up. 2 weeks ago at the AMA's, Nicki accepted two awards with questionable make up and now this look. I have no idea what is going on with her make up but it needs to stop. I don't know if she needs a new make up artist or if she does it herself but this is a no-no. Doesn't Nicki Minaj have an endorsement deal with Mac? She needs a representative to come to her house and help her match her face to her body. It pains me to see stars with access to the best everything looking sub par. Don't do it again.

T.I and Tiny's Family Hustle

• I didn't know T.I had another daughter. The world knew about his sons and stillborn daughter but this daughter was all but hidden. 
• Why did Tiny do that to her face? Is she that insecure about being T.I's wife that she had to fix her face? She was so pretty in her Xscape days now she looks like a human Miss Piggy.
• T.I and Tiny aren't too smart. We'll leave it at that. 
• Tiny is too old for that kool-aid red hair. It's hurting my eyes. I like her with blonde, black, and brown hair but that red hair is too much. Maybe a hi-light or two but she has too much hair to have that color. Please leave the bright colors for the OMG girls.
• What happened to T.I's lips? I don't remember his lips being that plump or that bright. Did he sick duck in jail? Did he get punched and they didn't go down? Did he get lip injections?
• King is too funny. How old is he? He has so much personality to be so little. 
• What was T.I's motivation for doing the reality show? Reality shows are for those on their last leg of fame, those needing fame, or those needing a boost ; T.I fits into neither category. T.I is talented and still respected in the Hip Hop game. What T.I needs is a counselor who will help him make wise decisions. I've seen little good come out of reality TV. I hope T.I. knows what he is doing and isn't just looking for quick fame.
• I find it ironic that T.I shut down Tiny's reality show with Toya but he has this show with his entire family,  even a daughter who has been kept out of the spotlight. The complete reason for Tiny being pulled from the show wasn't revealed but insiders say that T.I was the reason. T.I does seem a bit controlling. Tiny has said that although Tiny had a lucrative career before meeting T.I, he wanted her to step away from the spotlight. I wonder what his reasoning was. 

The Stans Are Coming

The Grammy nominating committee needs to prepare for battle because the stans are coming for them. Although Beyonce asked her stans to "tone it down," you know they don't listen.

The nominations were in Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Long Form Music Video

The stans have taken to blogs, youtube, and twitter to protest Beyonce not being nominated in major categories. Here
are Beyonce's submissions but you see she was only nominated for one of her submissions and the other one is a ruse. I wonder what the stans are going to do? I know they've probably flooded the Grammy's voicemail and email boxes and I'm sure that they're working on the letters. Beyonce stans, let it go. Beyonce isn't owed Grammys. Let someone else have a year. Beyonce had hers every year that she has come out and now it's some else's time. I don't know if you expect the Grammy nominating committee to break down and give her the awards but Beyonce has won the most for any female artist; she's not hurting for Grammy's.

Tyler Perry Tell-All

Melvin Child's, a former Tyler Perry associate, is releasing a tell all book about the famous, or infamous, Tyler Perry.

"Producer Promoter Melvin Childs describes his disappointment after seeing Tyler Perry again for the first time years after the abrupt and painful parting of the ways.“That night was a turning point for me. Until that night, I had defended Tyler to anyone close enough to me to know the true story. I’m talking about the truth; not the spin he puts out on Oprah or the half-truth you can read on his website. I’m talking about the real story of how he went from being a failed playwright performing in churches for fifty people, to being Tyler Perry. I’m talking about the time in the beginning when I had lost my job and would take money from my wife and send it to Tyler to help pay his bills. I know what happened because I was there and, what’s more important, Tyler knows I was there. His words, “Melvin here was my first promoter,” rolled around in my mind as I got closer and closer to home. The more I thought about it, the more it started to piss me off. Was I just a promoter when you came to me for a loan because you didn’t have the money to pay your cast? Was I just a promoter when you called me to borrow money to buy;food or when I personally paid for the hotel you were living in while you were supposedly homeless? Maybe I was and if that’s the case, then so be it. But guess what? Regardless of what he wants to call me, I was there. And because I was there, I also have a story to tell."

I don't know what he feels Tyler owes him because I'm sure Tyler broke him off something once he made it. I'm sensing a bit of jealousy. How do I sense that? When he name dropped, Oprah, I knew he was jealous. I believe this man feels like he should reap more of Tyler's success because he was there when he had nothing. In the text, I see that Tyler acknowledge Melvin during that meeting, so I'm confused. Does he want more money? To sit next to Tyler on Oprah's couch? More acknowledgment? I'm not understanding what he wants. Everyone feels like they're owed something and that's not the case. Unless he details hot, butt naked sex between him and Tyler, I'm not going out of my way to read this book.

Bruce and Kris Jenner Divorce?

The rumor mill is buzzing with word of a Jenner divorce. Supposedly Bruce is tiring of Kris' commitment to advancing the Kardashian name and she has put him on an allowance. Kris Kardashian Jenner has taken to her twitter to denounce the rumors and also congratulate Kourtney on pregnancy #2, all in the same tweet. Even if the rumors are false, I can see Kris and Bruce getting a divorce in the future. The only relationship I see actually having a chance is Khloe and Lamar because she actually treats her husband like a man and not like a child.

• Kris has forgotten where she has come from. Before the Kardashians were a multi-million dollar empire, her and her 6 kids lived in a small house, which I'm sure was financed by Bruce's speaking engagements. I also heard they were on the brink of foreclosure, but the story has magically dissapeared from TMZ.com.
• Kris treats Bruce like a child. I believe she put him on an allowance because she took his bank card one episode. I also heard her call him little boy on more than one occasion. Isn't Bruce older than her? She has a huge house but Bruce can only have one room for his hobbies? Something is wrong with that. She demeans him on national TV, what man wants that. 
• She wanted to change her name back to Kardashian. If that's not the epitome of disrespect, I don't know what is. It's one thing to keep your maiden name but to want to keep your ex-husband's name for "business" purposes is wrong. Even one of the younger daughters recognized it. 
• Kris is too involved with her daughter's lives. Yes, she is the head of the Kardashian empire but she gets too involved in their personal lives. I bet she spends more time with Kim than she does her own husband. When Kris was meddling in Kourtney's business, trying to get her to marry Scott, Bruce said "I bet they're happier than most married people." Take that as a sign. I bet by married people, he meant himself. 

Kris needs to get out of her daughters' business and into her own. She's done too many disrespectful things to Bruce for him not to be tired.
