World AIDS Day 12/01/2010

I am one who have been personally affected by this disease called AIDS, in 1997 I lost my uncle to AIDS, and it was by far a painful situation.  I just remember seeing in the worst condition possible.  I have also lost a very close friend to the disease, in 2009 as well. In both situations, the disease was kept secret until it was too late.  I just remember my Grandmother telling me he was sick, I knew what was going on, but she felt like I was to young to understand.  The close friend of mine died without saying a word, his parents knew but he never told a soul about his situation.  This could have all been prevented if they would have been educated on this disease.  One attracted the disease by drug abuse, and the other homosexuality.  

I sit here just thinking about the what ifs, what if they never used drugs, what if he had protective sex male or female?  I do not have the answer to any of this, but it is my job to educate myself on this disease, so I can help educate others.  

I dedicate this blog entry to my uncle Tony and one of my closet friend Drew, I Love you and truly miss you with all my heart♥

Lets get educated people, we are responsible for ourselves, we cant point fingers anymore

Happy 26th Bday Trey Songz!!!!

Trey Songz was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, VA. He was raised as a military brat, Songz did not have aspirations to have a musical career as a child due to his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good." He recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14. He has been on the rise every since then, with 4 successful albums and some banging mixed tapes, I think he is one R&B star that will be in the limelight for a long time.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

TO ALL MY KNO IT ALL'S HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kanye covers Complex Magazine

Kanye West allowed Complex editor-in-chief Noah Callahan-Bever to spend some time with him in Hawaii, living with Kanye, hanging out in his Honolulu studio and penning the cover story “Project Runaway”. The profile offers a glimpse at Kanye’s creative process and gives insight on the man based on those who helped create My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

“Kanye’s process is communal—he literally goes around the room asking everyone there what ‘power’ means to them, throws out lines to see how they’re received, and works out his exact wording with whomever is around to help. But his output is most definitely entirely his own—one listen to that consistently unique cadence, word choice, and sense of humor reveals that. Rappers, producers, and entourage are all welcome to offer ideas or phrases, but the funny thing is, nearly every suggestion is met with, ‘That’s really not at all a word I would ever say, but don’t stop offering ideas, thanks!’”




On Kanye’s sense of humor in the studio:

“What does elicit a visceral reaction—hard, heavy laughter—is the wall of Kanye Commandments posted on 8.5″x 11″ sheets of paper on one side of the studio. They include the obvious—’No Tweeting’ and ‘No Pictures’—and some…well, some less obvious ones, too. Not that ‘No Hipster Hats’ and ‘Just Shut the Fuck Up Sometimes’ aren’t rules to live by.”



On Kanye’s sleeping habits:

“During my five days in Hawaii, Kanye never slept at his house, or even in a bed. He would, er, power-nap in a studio chair or couch here and there in 90-minute intervals, working through the night. Engineers remained behind the boards 24 hours a day.”

Fantasia had an abortion....omg

Can it get any worse......
Yesterday afternoon, Fantasia had to take the stand during Antwaun Cook’s divorce proceedings in North Carolina and according to RadarOnline.com, she confessed that she was pregnant by Antwaun during the time of her suicide attempt. It was revealed that she eventually aborted the baby. She also confessed that her relationship with Antwuan was “off and on” for about 11 months, however, she believed he was separated from his wife during that time. Meanwhile, his wife’s lawyer, argued that Fantasia and Antwaun checked into a hotel together a few days after meeting each other because she knew she couldn’t go back to his home because of his wife.


Fantasia is currently being sued by Antwaun’s wife for Alienation of Affection which is a law in North Carolina that allows an abandoned spouse to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage


I will be so glad when Mrs. Cook let this situation go, at this point it just seem like she is trying to get some money, she probably wants to divorce Antwan but she is trying to get paid.  If she watched Fantasia's show and I know she is, it clearly shows that her husband is still trying to make a mends with Fantasia.  I wish I was the judge, because I would ask her.....Lets be real Mrs. Cook, tell me the truth, you just trying to get paid?

Nicki MInaj on Wendy Williams...How You Doing?

Nicki Minaj made a special apperance on The Wendy Williams show last week.  She gave me my fav british accent, and she also made it clear about one if her singles "Romans Revenge"....and she also gave me a "How you Doing"?




Here is the interview and her performance...PINK FRIDAY, out this Monday 11/22/2010

Keyshia Cole...."Long Way Down" and "I Aint" video

Keyshia Cole is on a roll, she has released 2 videos in less than 2 weeks apart, one with Nicki Minaj for "I aint Thru". and the second single with her fiance Daniel "Boobie" Gibson as the leading man for "Long way Down".  I like both singles but "Long way Down" is a good one....

"Just when I said that I was through with love, there he was…”

awww Keysh...

Here are some pics and both videos...ENJOY!

SN: Thats one mean ring Daniel put on her finger.....ok Im done...

Fantasia met the wife....ummmmhmmmm

While I was doing my evening gossip reading I came across some interesting info on theybf.com, Fantasia met Mrs. Cook, the one and only Paula Cook.  I personally think they are trying to swindle Fantasia out of some $$$$, but he lead her to believe that he really left his wife.  I understand Fanny is a country girl trying to make it in the industry but she should have also used wisdom that I know her grandma have instilled in her to use caution when messing with married men, that say they are separated. Here is what radaronline.com had to say:

Earlier this month, Fantasia and Paula attempted to settle their dispute through private mediation regarding Fanny's alleged affair with Antwan Cook. A source close to the situation says the mediation lasted nearly 12 hours on November 1, and Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula $100,000.

 A source told RadarOnline,

"They didn't settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula's marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that she knew."

According to the source, Fantasia and Paula are set to meet in a North Carolina courthouse again on November 22, but Paula is readying to sue Fantasia for Alienation of Affection.

Kanye: I don't need all that Jazz.....Today Show interview

Kanye West sat down to have an interview with Matt Lauer from the Today show, and let's just say Kanye, don't play that.  I feel like he had every right to defend himself, and why are they even still talking about it.  I like the fact that he did not allow the Today show to take over the interview, and he had control.  Kanye is a very smart, man, sometimes he may be a bit extreme, but he is still human. He shows frustration because he fell like they are throwing them under the bus.  After his interview Kanye went to his twitter @kanyewest had had a few choice words as well

Willow Smith on Ellen....

Willow Smith, did her thing on the Ellen show today.  I have to give the little one props on a live performance, might I add this is her first live show too.  Not bad for a 10 year old, and she did not lip sync.  Ellen also interviewed her and gave her a neck brace as a gift...that Ellen is something......Go Willow
