Rihanna's Peep Show

Image
Ummmm WTH is Rihanna smoking? Her clothes? I don't wanna sound like a hater (lol) because this girl is ubber hot but this is too much...its not even tasteful anymore. This is more like low budget peep show'ish. The beading is beautiful but still.... I get it, really I do. The colors and beads against the lights work well and really are cute but dang...and those Cher and Deon (Clueless) boots are sending me over as well, they could have missed a moment or two if you know what I mean...

Beyonce: Year of 4

Image
So like many of Beyonce stans and haters (hate that word) I watched MTV's and BET's "Beyonce: Year of 4" documentary not too long ago and I must say I truly enjoyed it. I'm not saying that I truly enjoyed it because I am a new borderline stan but because I found it not only inspirational to anyone chasing after their dreams but it was also a cute different Beyonce. Sometimes it seems like if you've seen one Beyonce doc you've seen them all but this time I saw more. I didn't know she was her own manager. Now I am NOT for one minute going to believe she is doing it on her own, I stick by my theory that Jay is managing her. I also didn't know that she was inspired by an African group of three male dancers on YouTube by the name of Tofo Tofo for that hyped up crip like walk she does in her "Girls" video and actually had them flown in to teach and also dance in the actual video. How cool for them and of her. What I found really funny w

Basketball Wives and Their S**t

So last night I watched Basketball Wives, nothing new, and I noticed a FEW things...the best thing being Shaunie's wardrobe, her jacket in the park to be exact ( 9:15 mark) Tags: Basketball Wives 3 , Reality TV Shows , Reality TV Shows 27 I few other things I noticed ... Meeka's ass is shaking in her boots with the Tammi beef. The chick had fear in her eyes. At times during her confessional they looked moist and her words seemed apologetic. What happened to the "I keep it real" chick? It is what it is, y'all don't get along so keep her at a distance. ------- Shaunie doesn't like Royce. Why does she try so hard to get Evelyn and Tammi back speaking but not Royce and Evelyn. I know words and punches were exchanged between Evelyn and Royce but Evelyn bonked Tammi's HUSBAND and supposedly while they were still married. Who forgives that over a fight. AND AND not to mention next week's episode looks like they are leaving Royce out of the seas

The EBT* Awards

Image
So like just about every other minority in America last night I watched the EBT, I mean BET, awards. I must say I wasn't impressed. NOT by the performances or the winners but by the host, Kevin Hart, who I thought did a wonderful job I was impressed. I thought Kevin was on point with his jokes, I didn't seem to notice any of those awkward moments when the host realizes his joke didn't go as planned and his is left laughing at his own jokes while trying to figure a way out of his embarrassment. This moment is is usually accompanied by a slow pimp stroll across the stage and a a rub of the back of their head, but this didn't happen to Kevin. I also loved the ignorance of the night....Rick Ross' tatas was among the most notable. Those boobies were more popular than Beyonce's pitty performance from afar. I love the fact that Rick is playing off of the pure disgust that people genuinely have seeing him open chest. Me personally, I think its genius on his part,

The New Big Sean

Image
I don't know what I was expecting from G.O.O.D. Music's new artist Big Sean but it dayum sure wasn't this kool kid meets the hood look. This nerdy rock star look is not appealing and it's very gimmicky. Is that Kanye's jacket ? I thought for a minute watching this performance that Wiz Khalifa pulled a Lil Momma and crashed the stage yuck!! Is that Tommy Davidson?! These rappers (and/or someone in his camp) are trying too hard to get on that Wayne train , this ^^ dude right here wasn't on his rock star flow back in 2008/2009. I am all for evolving but some shit you can just tell isn't natural.

Is that...Christina Aguilera?

Image
It has always been my opinion that less is more and I have to say it applies to Christina in these photos. She actually looks years younger than she normally appears because she doesn't have that Hatchet Face look she normally sports. Now I could start with the outfit and the hat, but she has made so much progress by simply toning down her make up I'll let her fashion mistakeS pass. Cute shoes! and I love the ring!! I'll have to check Pnkelephant for a similar piece.

Kanye's back?

Image
This really looks like the Kanye West from the College Dropout days, he's actually wearing a smile. Don't get me wrong, I love Kanye any way he'll dish it but it seems as if he was happier back in those days. I'll take this!!! He's rockin the Jesus piece...is that album done, Ye?!!

The Nail Files

Image
So last night I watched the premiere of The Nail Files on the TV Guide network. The show was created by the creators of Jersey Shore but I assure you the two shows are nothing alike (there are some black chicks on this show). You had your much needed drama, the frenzy of a problem and then the fairy tale ending but I must say I really liked it. The owner Katie Carzole is a mess, not a bad mess, and reality TV a mess means GREAT for ratings. The show chronicles the rising success of her boutique style nail salon in Los Angeles, The Painted Nail,  yes there will be celebrity appearances. I think its cute and different, it's about time we stop seeing potential flops of celebs getting shows, I needed to see a semi regular person for a change. Take a looksee for yourself. I think I love this show already lol

Oh really, Mr. Wade?

Image
I am not one to question how someone does their job especially when its a skilled profession but WTF was Dwayne Wade's stylist,  Khaliliah Williams-Webb, thinking when she put him in this outfit?!! Ummmm how old  is he?!! First of all, he doesn't look comfortable in Craig Sager's blazer nor those narrow fit Ocho Cinco inspired sneakers, but what's up with the Soulja Boy swag? He looks as if he wants me to THINK that he's feeling himself but I know better. Why would Khalilah put him in this, by taking away those Tylenols on his feet would have done the outfit a little justice but he still looks too trendy. I swear I am in the wrong profession. Hell, I would have understood some concealer and powder on his forehead before this ensemble.

It's Stringer Bell...

Image
I fell in love with Stringer Bell, not Idris Elba, so whenever I feel Stringer makes an appearance I get overly excited....you know he comes out every now and again in Idris lol What's up with my boo, are those Lala's or Kiyan's pants? Ugh, I hate when he doesn't deliver, doing too much in Milan for Fashion Week this is not how he flows. Boo you got too much leg for them pants!! Stringer Bell won this look off.    But I have to say, in order for Idris to maintain his sexy he needs a little Bigen hair dye. I see his age creeping in along his face and hairline...he's still cute tho. That's Stringer alright and he done aged but that's how I like my wine...and I lovvvve my wine.

Kim Kardashian Classing It Up?

Image
I love everything about this look but the bag, another color would have been PERFECT. This mature look was probably something that Kris Jenner should have taken notes on, maybe if it were in black she'd have gone for it. Is Kris calling this wifey makeover  ? That Kardashian money train is really keeping up with appearances, that's the one thing I can give them credit on.  The saying is "you can't teach an old dogs new tricks", in this case I believe you can. And look Kimmy's got her old face back and everything, these ladies mean business this go 'round...

Lala celebrates her birthday

Image
I was hoping that this wouldn't happen, because I love them equally but separately,  I don't wanna see them all hugged up. Now I am about to go in on her outfit....it's happening! I would have loved this had it been a pair of shorts or tailored differently at the bottom, the top fits gorgeous but in the leg, because of the material, it looks as if she has a pair of boxers underneath and she looks wider. I will say she looks beautiful in the face and again the upper portion fits her well. hey boo!!! I'm kinda feeling Melo's Chris Brown inspired fit... 

Congrats Toya Carter-Wright

Image
Finally Toya Carter can be not only Lil Wayne's ex-wife/baby's mother but she can know add wife for a second time to her bio. You go girl!! Not only did Lil Wayne attend, supposedly the ceremony only, but his OTHER BMs were in full effect (not the Asian one) as well, how fuckin weird is that?! At least Nivea, the chosen one, looked a hot mess attempting not to outshine Toya. I think Lauren always looks adorable and out of place whenever she's photographed as of lately, she didn't disappoint. You be the judge...ATL's urban elite were in attendance as well. I'd rather them embrace one another than be out here fussing and fighting. Side note...I wonder if Wayne walked her down the isle...you know gave her away? lol and and and...in messed up news: Nivea was arrested for driving under the influence right after she left the wedding. I can't wait for MORE pics to come out, Toya had 2 dresses and I'd like to see Reginae and Memphitz as well...oh and M

Does Ashanti Age?

Image
Check out Ashanti at LL Cool J's wife's, Simone, trunk show in NY not looking a day over 1998.  If I said this was a throwback pic what would tell you that it wasn't? I love this pic...I think all women do this look in the mirror when they're shopping to check on their hair lol Check out Simone Smith's jewelry line ----> Simone I. Smith ....I like the earrings a lot.

The Kardashian Script

Image
I have recently began letting myself believe all the evidence that was right in my face that the Kardashian clan was full of shit but the recent season 6 show premiere sealed the deal for me....I am a full believer. Look at the 2:13 mark of the season 6 premiere...Kris clearly comes out with a wine glass, as she begins to toast she has a glass of ice water and then back to a wine glass. I thought this was a reality show? How could a "touching" moment like that be done with retakes? That right there motivates my nosee ass to tune in every week to notice" every out of pocket move these douche bags make...this brings me joy for some reason lol I bet Kim's fall was fake as all get out!

Frank Ocean

Image
Why I am so late finding out about this dude and his music? I'm not all the way sold but I am impressed...and he writes music, he's even written for my new fav Beyonce, yup, I'm late.  frank ocean [novacane] from christopher francis ocean on Vimeo . I really like this song but I have yet to gravitate to any of his others songs like this, I'll give it more time. After doing very little research on this dude, the only thing that concerns me is his affiliation with Tyler, The Creator of Odd Future. Those boys are offensive and wayyyy out of line but I like their beats (not enough to become a fan). you be the judge.

Black Hollywood.

Image
This is what I 'd like to see on the covers of my magazines and headlining entertainment shows like TMZ and Entertainment Tonight, not the same fuck ups that the media normally idolizes. I hate only being able to see my fav black actresses at urban awards shows or when someone feels compelled enough to grant them the cover or an interview in their magazine. I know there are many African American magazines that adore these ladies but they too don't get the recognition that they deserve...can we get a little love ova here? I love seeing black Hollywood out and about mingling and rubbing shoulders. I am hoping to see a lot more of this girl.Tika Sumpter has been gigging and making a lot of friends in Hollywood....and she's so beautiful.

Well done...for a change.

Image
This is so much better...I actually love the dress and the lace front doesn't look that bad from afar (I can see her lace up close). It's no secret I am very critical of JHud, because I think most people just give her a pass on all levels, but I honestly believe this look is better but something is still off. I just can't say how much I love this dress on her but her toes and head are distracting this look from being a success. I hate the shoes. I think a different type sandal (with more toe support) or a peep toe pump would have set this outfit off. I don't know what would do the trick, I'm no professional, but I do know a better lace front and some curls to fill her face out more would look ten times better, her head looks huge, but this is a start for her...hopefully a change gon' come.

Beyonce 's Real Bodyguard

Image
There is so much going on in these pics, the obvious being Beyonce doing too much with too little of a dress, Julius ready to attack all while holding Beyonce's purse and this fool of a fan falling as if she were in Beyonce's shoes. What I like best about these pics is Miss Tina Knowles serving the straight "I'll f**k you up over Beyonce, you can have Solange" face, Mommie Dearest at it's finest. Not an ounce of a smile or happy to have woken up look on her face, only the shine of a "I wish you would" straight glare...I like that!!! I bet Julius is scared of her, hell I would with a mug like that. Suggestion: Beyonce would have looked so lovely in a pair of studded or beaded flats to compliment her earrings. I know its her image to be fierce but that's just my suggestion... "I know that bish is gonna feel that fall in the morning"
