Keeping It 100

I'm team Kris Humpries, he married that porn queen, she didn't love him, she will do anything for ratings, and has been giving up her kooch to any African American male(dummy Kanye 'Mess' West) that has deep pockets since she was 14 years old.  Her mother is a bonafide gold digging slut and a madame who pimps her children.  Only in America is such trickery allowed, now if she were black, of course the rules would be altogether different.  All the more mind boggling, she was married to Robert K--dash--n, who was a defense lawyer for the O.J. Simpson trial, where he helped him get a "NOT' guilty verdict, ironically white America, somehow forgot that little piece of information.  So again, I say to Kris, get every dime that you can from that low budget non talent zero, whose claim to fame is being the porn star who gave brain to Ray J.

Chris Brown appeared in court yesterday to defend his community service hours and on his arm was singer Rihanna.  I have to say that guy has balls, how gangsta is he, the same girl who he beat unmercifully, is the same girl who walked hand in hand into the courthouse to stand by her man.  Young love, and weren't we all just as dumb and crazy back in the day?

Singer Beyonce' Knowles who wants to be known as Mrs. Carter these days, seemingly has not only bleached her skin, but appears to have had plastic surgery on her nose.  This Hollywood story is old, and basically plays out the same, please Bey, don't become the next Lil Kim, that would a horrific tragedy.

What was VHI thinking when they gave ebonic Tameka (Tiny aka Miss Peggy)Cottle-Harris a talk show?  This is 2013 we're suppose to be about bettering ourselves.  Come on people, not only is she hard to look at, she's hard to listen to.  More and more I realize that the powers that be in Hollywood, continue to careless about Black life, unless it can mimic and belittle our experience.  This girl, sits with Tamar Braxton, who is loud and obnoxious, rapper Trina and some unknown name Claudia, and they basically try to do their own hot topic segment, but it doesn't work, outsiders looking in, smdh. 

Can someone please tell Jennifer Hudson to knock it out, Dreamgirls was almost a decade ago, she's NOT Effie anymore, but every time she steps up to the microphone she's screaming her tonsils out, every song doesn't require the same emotion, she butchered "Let's Stay Together" at the Inauguration, she terrified the Sandy Hook Elementary school children by 'again' screaming her lungs out at the Superbowl, when she sang "America The Beautiful".  I can't listen to her continue on this path, so many other worthy talented singers who are out there, clearly they deserve their shine too, call up Stephanie Mills, Ledisi, Regina Belle, Chrissette Michelle, Maysa Leak, Tamia, Tamar Braxton, Jo Jo, Miki Howard, Mica Paris, Sherree Brown, Trina Broussard, Sy Smith, India Arie or Anita Baker, just to name a talented few.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez on again-off again romance.  How serious can their relationship really be? Its young dumb love, both of thirst attention whores.  Their love should just be a drive-by situation.  Five years from now, his career will be over and Selena Gomez wont remember what the hoopla was all about. 

For all of you who believe in The Illuminati, I have two words for you THE BIBLE, read it!! Black folks when we had nothing else we had family and religion, seems like when we climb the ladders of success, suddenly it's only devilish that we could achieve such greatness.  Oy Vey, but I digress.

Every notice how talk show Wendy Williams continues to be a walking contradiction, she talked shit about Whitney Houston for most of her career, when Whitney passed she cried on her show, like she was a fan.  She talks about Beyonce' Knowles most of the time, but when she appeared on the cover of GQ magazine, she was all of her nutts, and a few days ago, she was singing her praises for turning UP the Superbowl, doing a decade old dance routine.  She 'outed' Alicia Keys and constantly sweats her for stealing Swizz Beats away from his ex-wifey Mashonda.  Well get this, she has now kissed up to Ms. Keys, she's going to appears on Williams show within the next month.  "How You Doin" is her version of outing gay people in the industry, it was "never" the official greeting of her show. Watching her show is such a roller coaster ride, she should be a politician, because she flip flops all the time. Check out the clip below to see if you agree with me. Ijs .... she can't decide which side that she wants to be on, so I guess she'll forever remain a D-Lister.

R&B singer Cecil Womack dead at 65

R&B singer Cecil Womack has died at the age of 65.
According to Soul-Source, Womack was living with wife and musical partner Linda Womack in Africa when he passed away on Friday, Jan. 31.
He started out in a gospel group singing with his brother Bobby Womack and their other siblings, Harry, Friendly and Curtis. Sam Cooke spotted them and changed the group's name to the Valentinos.
Cecil was also a producer and writer, and wrote songs for Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle and Motown's Mary Wells, his first wife.

When he married Linda, the two performed together as Womack & Womack and made six albums together. The first single from their Love Wars album, "T.K.O.," reached the Billboard R&B chart and their next single, "Love Wars" reached No. 14 on the U.K. singles chart in early 1984. The third single from the album, "Baby I'm Scared of You," was successful in the U.S., reaching No. 25 on the R&B charts.
Cecil and Linda moved to Africa in recent years so he could explore his heritage. Soul-Source reports that he wanted his ashes to be spread out over a river near his home there.
He is survived by Linda and four children, three from his marriage to Wells and one son from a prior relationship.

Jay - Z wifey is going on Tour

Entertainer Beyonce' Knowles just announced that she's going on tour entitled The Mrs Carter show World Tour.  If it's anything like her Superbowl performance, I'll pass.  I want to see something new, not a decade old dance routines from songs a decade ago.  Challenge yourself Mrs. Knowles, you're a huge star, show us what you're capable of doing.  Hire top notch storytellers, set designers,choreographers, photographers oh and yes a TUTOR! Your Destiny Fulfilled Tour with Destiny's Child left me breathless, that's what I call being on top of your game, so please bring it, and if you bring it, I will pay my money, and so will the rest of the world.

Always Be My Baby ...

Dearest Whitney,
What a week of discovery it has been.  Now your life and struggles became CRYSTAL clear, you endured so much.  All you really wanted to do was sing your songs and to be loved for who you are.  Seems like a simple request, but nothing was that easy.  Your mother's book came out last week, and she was on every show that would have her, and boy was she talking, pointing fingers but never looking in the mirror.  Bobbi Kristina went on twitter encouraging her following not to purchase Cissy Houston's book, saying that it was disrespectful to you, needless to say the relationship between she and Cissy is past a little 'Iffy', according to Cissy, they rarely talk, she went on to call Kriss a hot head thinking that she knows everything.  Her big interview was with Oprah, and she had Momma O's jaw on the floor with some of her answers.  Michael also appeared on the show, and Nippy he looks bad, I'm praying for him.  He told Oprah that it was he, who got you started doing drugs, and that it was in the late 80's and everyone was doing it, but he didn't realize that it was harmful and that eventually it would take its toll.  He went on to say that he's living but he's not alive and that he tried to take his life when you passed.  In the interview with your mom, she went on to say that she didn't care for Robyn Crawford, she didn't care for Bobby Brown, and that if you were gay, she would not have accepted you period, point blank, again shocking Momma O.  Here's my take on why you had to go, which I COMPLETELY understand  ...

Whitney being on drugs ... annnnnnnd for that long was a shock. When I looked at that interview with her mother, I saw conflict and turmoil, which often happens when devout Christians go overboard with their faith. Bottom line my baby Whitney was gay and not strong enough in her convictions to stand up to her demanding and demeaning mother, because of her beliefs and the needing for Whitney to appear, wholesome, perfect AND heterosexual.   She's finally at piece, while her mother is left here to toll and deal with her own personal demons. The life of Whitney Houston is an American triumphant and personal tragedy.

You deserved better from people than you ever got, and I'm so sorry that things we take for granted, wasn't afforded to you, like UNCONDITIONAL love from your mother.  I'm really grateful knowing all the things that I now know, I'm shocked that we had you for as long as we did.  I pray for Michael, Gary, Krissi and Cissy for healing, direction, forgiveness and understanding. Rest easy my beautiful Princess, until next week, which marks the 1 year of your transition.
