Solange's Birthday Blast To Blue Ivy

Image
What do you give the little girl that has it all? When most people use this phrase they don't fully have any basis for it but not the Carters. No, really, what do  you give Blue Ivy Carter for her third birthday (Jan.7)? While there are no exclusive confirmed details about Blue's bday festivities but some have speculated the theme may have be Frozen from a photo posted by her mom Beyonce to Instgram . But it was a photo Solange posted to her Instagram that gave me the heart eyes. My twin, my fellow sassy pants, my dancing partner, my incredibly smart, beautiful, niece-y-poo, turns 3 today! I love her so much❤️❤️❤️ Una foto publicada por S A I N T R E C O R D S (@saintrecords) el Ene 1, 2015 a la(s) 6:25 PST How cute is it that Solange calls Blue her "twin". I for one always applauded Beyonce for allowing her child to wear her hair in it's natural state as it is when she rarely does and for the critically acclaimed wardrobe choices bu

VIDEO: Phylicia Rashad Sets The Record Straight About Being Misquoted

Image
When I first heard of the news that Phylicia Rashad was standing behind Bill Cosby  amid the allegations of over 20 women who claim he sexually assaulted years ago I was shocked. Mostly because I figured things must have gotten worst than we had believed...until I read the article that started all this. Now I know this may sound strange considering the platform, but I am trying to stop judging people, places and things as much this year (I'll figure out a new direction for N.R.) but it was hard for me to believe what I was reading simply because of what I was reading. Not only was the article not writen very well but it didn't make since. Now, as the extraordinary “Selma” lunch– which featured a brilliant performance by Common and John Legend of their theme song, “Glory”– Rashad and I had a talk about Cosby. No less than Harry Belafonte and Ruben Santiago Hudson were hovering above us as we chatted. Let’s make something clear. Rashad, who is one of our greatest stage

Dog Abandoned At Train Station With His Own Suitcase

Image
How could anyone abandon a face like this?! According to the   Scottish SPCA , the shar-pei mix was found tied to a railing outside the station along with a suitcase of his belongings, including a pillow, toy, bowl and some dog food – a photo of the melancholy-looking pup is tugging at the heartstrings of dog lovers on  Facebook ,  who've shared his photo over 3,500 times. "Kai is around two to three years old and is a lovely dog with a nice nature. We will look after him until we can find him a permanent and loving home," said inspector Stewart Taylor. "Regardless of the fact Kai was left with his belongings, this was still a cruel incident and we are keen to identify the person responsible." I don't think some new pet owners realize the responsibility of owning a pet. They are very much like children. They're existence depends on the care they receive from us. This is beyond cruel and I hope some type of surveillance was captured of the cree

Keshia Knight Pulliam GetsThe Boot First On Seveneth Season Of 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Image
How Donald Trump persuaded Keshia Knight Pulliam to do Celebrity Apprentice I don't know but it seems to have been an excellent decision on his behalf. It's no secret that I love The Cosby Show as well as Bill Cosby and there is no hiding his recent personal issues as well. Now this is where things play out well for Mr. Trump. Donald casted Keshia without prior knowledge of Mr. Cosby's skeletons ever unfolding (again) which was also before the controversial allegations began. Now although the show was filmed well in advance, the 7th season premiere episode, where Keshia was ultimately fired, revolved around her not calling Bill Cosby for a donation. Keshia was the team's captain and her not calling Mr. Cosby for a monetary favor is what caused her debut departure. Now how is this good for Donald Trump, you ask? He's PR whore and everything he does seems to come in a form of shock and awe but not this time. This was pure luck on his and his show's pa

Stuart Scott Passes Away At Age 49

Image
I'm not a huge sports fan but I do love the Dallas Cowboys and will admit half the time I don't know what is going on but I know for a fact when we loose or win. With that said yesterday when I learned of the death of ESPN sports anchor Stuart Scott ' s passing I was emotionally touched. Touched as in tears, hurt, shock and awe. I wasn't well-versed with his career but I knew who he was. I knew that he had been battling cancer since 2007. I heard his acceptance at this last year's ESPYS where he accepted the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance . Still very very shocked and emotional by his passing but enough about me. My heart goes out to Stuart's daughters, family, friends, colleagues and even fans. From all that I've gathered today Stuart Scott was an innovator, great dad, great friend and overall just an admirable man whose legacy will live on far beyond our years. "When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by h

Teresa Giudice Turns Herself In Early

Image
Bravo Teresa Guidice for the next 15-months will reside in Danbury, Connecticut at the same prison Lauryn Hill served three months for tax evasion and where the series Orange Is The New Black is set. The reality star/business woman was set to turn herself in today to begin her sentence but arrived a bit early this morning sans Joe Giudice who took the girls to school this morning. The  Real Housewives of New Jersey  star reported to the prison slightly a head of schedule, before 3 a.m. on Monday morning, to begin serving out her 15-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud. The hit reality show's longest-serving cast member left her Montville Township manse just after midnight with her attorney, James J. Leonard Jr., in tow. - Source Although I know Teresa and Joe have to do their time for the crime I simply feel for these two. Teresa moreso than Joe because I can relate as a mother. I couldn't imagine being away from my kid(s) to go to prison, my kid(s) seeing me in prison

THE HAIR: NeNe Leakes Gets It Right

As I was browsing Instagram doing a little research I came across some very nice photos of  Mrs. NeNe Leakes . As I posted more than a weeks ago NeNe was the butt of various jokes when she debuted a choppy blonde bob in her confessionals during an episode (more to come) of The Real House Wives of Atlanta. Tickle Tuesday: When your naturally fabulous and confident in the skin your in, you can post shit like this and laugh too😂Check out my housewives blog on Neneleakes.com and read about the call I got after my wig made it's debut on housewives #fearlessnene #RHOA #cinderellabroadway #hsn #NeneismsTshirts #fabGab A photo posted by NeNe Leakes (@neneleakes) on Dec 12, 2014 at 8:52am PST As we should know, the show isn't filmed in the NOW but NeNe took the jokes graciously and I thought we'd never see the scarecrow wig again but NAUGHT . NeNe posted this beautiful photo, choppy wig included, to which I thought the wig wasn't that bad but what really
