Another One Bites The Dust


The rumor mill has been going for quite some time now, but it's been confirmed, Nas and Kelis are splits-ola. A very pregnant Kelis filed divorce papers yesterday, after only 5 years of marriage. They've been separated since April. Goodness, does anyone stay together anymore. Usually a new baby helps the situation for at least another year. Maybe she was too Bossy!!! (I know, I just had to say it)

Ugly Betty Is Back


Oh, how we've waited for this moment to return. Starting tonight will be the last five episodes that lead up to the season finale. Ugly Betty returns like a vengeance offering a wedding, funeral and kidnapping along with the usual blackmail to cap out this season. There will also be the usual overload of celebrities making appearances like Adele, Billie Jean King, Joy Behar, and Elizabeth Hasselback.

Kiesha Cole.... Sasha Fierce.... Kiesha Cole

The last issue of KING magazine dropped this week, and maybe it's just me, but it looks like KC took a page right out of the ole Sasha Fierce handbook. This pose, hair and outfit looks a little to familiar. You be the judge.

Sure Ya Right



On the April 24th episode of Oprah, the Queen of Talk dedicated a segment of her show to the fact that she doesn't wear a weave (smacking my lips) Who really cares!!!! Any who, she revealed a never before seen photo of herself demonstrating that the long locks she wears is indeed her naturally grown hair. We can tell this is her hair because.......

Topshop Is H&M On Roids


While in New York this weekend, I made a much needed stop at the overly talked about Topshop. In my personal opinion it wasn't that bad, but nothing you had to stand in line for. There were no lines, or guards manning the door (maybe the mad rush was over). There were floors full of beautiful items, but I just wasn't that impressed by the selection. The few things I did like were overly priced. However, the accessories were nice, but again over priced.
So, if you have money to throw around, be my guest, but once I made a trip to Century 21 and seen Manolo's and Marc Jacobs for $250.00 or less, how could I spend $200.00 at Topshop for a designer knockoffs. I'd rather spend my cash on much need European names (If you get my drift).

Say It Ain't So



Rumor has it, Solange could be the opening act for Michael Jackson. I know pretty unbelievable, right? I concur. Although, MJ is not the young-spunky-punk he once was, he’s still a LEGEND!!! and deserves a lot more. I mean, she hasn't even opened for her sister and their blood. In my opinion Solange doesn't even deserve a back stage pass let alone open, so not worthy. Let's all hope, this is just a rumor.

Give Us Back Our Jewelry



The Chris and Rihanna drama happen only hours before the Grammys and apparently, the jewelry that was lent to RiRi for her red carpet and stage appearance has yet to be returned. The Jewelry is now evidence in the case pending against Chris. Her lawyer has filed a motion to have the 1.4 million in gems returned, but as of yet, they haven’t.

If memory serves me right, they were on their way home, and she wasn’t dress for the Grammys they were coming from a Pre-Grammy Party, which means the jewelry should have been in the hotel and not on her. Just something to think about.

Deals In NY And C-Milian With My New Bag

The Who And The What was on hiatus this week due to a much needed, and over due trip to New York for shopping and fun. If you love high-end names at a very low-end price, please make a trip to Woodbury Common Outlets. Because of this recession prices are at a all time low. I spoke with a few sale associates and word is, not many bus tours have been coming out and people are really watching what they buy. This only means that people like us can finally get a piece of the high-end pie.

The DVF outlet was having the most outrageous sale, there were racks of clothing with an additional 50% off the sale price which was already cheap. Sweater dresses were $35.00, DVF signature wrap dresses were as low as $45.00 it was amazing. Giuseppe Zanotti had a wall of $99.00 shoes but, they only had the size that was on the wall no additional. Off Saks was having an additional 25% off already reduced prices, like the Cynthia Rowley "Crossbody Luna" handbag that C-Milian is carrying in the picture below. The price went from $495.00 to $231.00 then to $167.00 (You know your girl coped one). Fendi, Gucci, and Jimmy Choo all had amazing sales, well worth the trip. Also, Century 21 always has something, the shoe department was off the chain. If your in to luxury band shoes, they had everything from Nine West to Manolo Blahnik.


Although she looks a hot mess, I was amazed to see she had my new bag in tow. The leather is to die for.

I Don't Believe It.... Obsessed Was #1






Who knew Beyonce would beat Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx in the "Soloist" and Terrence Howard in "Fight" to take the number one spot over the weekend with $26 mil. The movie has very mixed reviews some saying the acting was bad (of course) and the plot had been done over and over on Lifetime but, no matter what the reviews are the movie is still number one. I am happy that all the movies this weekend opened with predominately black actors as the lead. Idris has come a long way since Stringer Bell with his fine self.

Look Who's Gone Blonde










What's your take, do you likey? Am really not sure, but she's such a cute girl, can she really look bad in anything?
