BEFORE THEY WERE STARS...EVE IS THAT YOU??

Well it has been said that Eve was a "dancer" before she was famous but geeez I guess she just was doing her job. Bet she never thought these pics would leak out. This is exactly why I tell people to be careful what you do because you never know who you will become...

ANOTHER EDITION OF WHAT IDIOTS LOOK LIKE..

If you have ever wondered what idiots look like, well you are in luck. No one knows who these dudes are but that is not the point. I already said that breakfast should never be worn after I seen Pharrell's waffle shoes by Ice Cream shown here
But now we have this...somebody should just throw a gallon of milk on him. put him out of his misery!

RONMEY SAYS TO MCCAIN: IS THAT YOU MR. NIXON?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused rival John McCain of adopting to Nixon- like tendencies. His charges stem from McCain's claims that Romney has a timetable set up for the withdrawal of troops in Iraq. In other words he is accusing Ronmey of siding with the democrats ideas and views of the war. McCain made this charge during the Florida primary before Romney could rebut and went on to win the state. Romney claimed that this kind of campaigning "was reminiscent of the Nixon era"..Oooh. Well of course when infamous names such as Nixon get thrown into the mix people start talking.... Former House speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois chimed in reminding folks of the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal that McCain and four other senators were involved in. Tsk Tsk.

Romney said that his references to Nixon were not attacks on McCain's integrity, "I think he's a man of character" But he added, "I think he took a sharp detour off the Straight-Talk Express" (which is the name of McCain's tour bus)...Ha! Republicans are so corny.

 

YES YES YA'LL

This is for all the hip hop aficionados out there. Jewelry by Darkcloud Silver for Oye Modern has created a collection of urban music symbols including turntables, a mic and even a spray can in sterling silver. These pieces are all handmade in Sydney, Australia by Nathan Thomas who crafted them out of his passion for the hip hop culture. The pieces go for about $300 each. But I guarantee that this is something no one else will be wearing. Very different

I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS LADIES..

Now I know this has got to be some sort of publicity stunt because I know these girls cannot be this stupid. The ladies of Danity Kane recently spoke to Hot 97's Miss Jones about Keyshia Cole's singing ability or lack thereof. Bringing up some video of Keyshia singing horribly on YouTube and all. They also talked about how Keyshia had been very rude to them on several occasions, five to be exact!! They claimed that during a taping of TRL she slammed the dressing room door in their faces when they were just trying to come compliment her.. So they decided to fire back! Oh really...

Well I will just say this, I hope Diddy has hired extra security for these girls because I'm sure that Keyshia and her ride or die fam bam are ready locked and loaded. They are very familiar with the penal system as we all were made aware by watching BOTH seasons Keyshia's show. I'm sure they won't mind doing a lil time for bodying one of these little songbirds...God be with u ladies! 

THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD...

The story of the Amber Room, dubbed the "8th Wonder of the World", has been a real life unsolved mystery filled with thievery and treasure hunting. The fairy tale room was crafted almost entirely of 6 tons of glowing translucent amber. It was a gift from the Prussian King Frederic the First to Russian Czar Peter the Great in 1716. But during World War II Hitler instructed Nazis to loot the treasured room and bring it back to Germany where it belonged. As the tide of the war changed and Germans worried about the safety of the room and supposedly packed it up and hid it. But no one really knows what actually happened to it. Some say it was lost during the bombing other say it was hidden. It has been a mystery that has plagued Russians for years. Treasure hunters have pursued countless theories about the whereabouts of the room but it has NEVER BEEN FOUND. In 1999 the reconstruction of this room began in Russian and after about 4 years and $150 million dollars a replica room was finally constructed with a few original pieces and opened in 2003. After 300 years the mystery of the original Amber Room still lives on.. 

I thought this was pretty cool, its like a real life National Treasure movie..take it for what u will

GET READY....

Kanye announced yesterday on his blog that the "GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR" is officially on. Acts lined up include Lupe Fiasco, N*E*R*D and Rihanna. Should be exciting! No dates have been released yet. Stay Tuned!

FUNNY STUFF

I got this in an email today.. Thought it was pretty funny. Funny because its true!

UP YOU MIGHTY PEOPLE!! UP!!!

Ok i have to take a break from the gossip, fashion, tech etc. that I usually write about to Blog about something that is very important to me. This upcoming election has brought out everyone's true colors no pun intended. This is our opportunity as black people to rise! This is our chance. So rise! I'm so tired of reading about these racist people who claim that if I vote for Obama then I am just doing so because he is black! I am offended by this ignorant statement in its entirety. To suggest that I am only voting for Obama because he is black is an insult to Obama, my people and my own intelligence! It insinuates that there will never be a black candidate that is competent, qualified, intelligent, professional, skilled and experienced enough to vote for and the ONLY reason that I or any other black person would have to vote for him is based entirely on race. Don't get me wrong, I mean, race is reality but why can't I support Obama for more reasons than race! Why can't I believe in his promises of change. Why can't I be audacious enough to actually have hope for the future! He does... and i believe in him. I believe that he is capable and competent enough to take control of this country and will do a lot of things for us. The fact that he is black is an added incentive, a bit of chocolate syrup on this plain vanilla ice cream if u will!

I admire Hillary Clinton's intelligence and mastery of politics but she is an old politician, stuck in her old ways. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion so if you are black and you have decided to vote for Clinton then that is your choice but consider this for a second. Everyone talks of the Clinton's great affinity for blacks but lets have a little bit of a reality check! What was really done specifically for black people during the Clinton administration. The answer NOTHING! How many black people were appointed to positions of power in the government during the Clinton administration? The answer is NONE! For years upon years the Democratic party with the Clintons included have taken the support of blacks for granted. Of course they want our support and money but as long as we stay in our place So if you vote for Clinton you would be better off voting Republican! At least the Republicans have appointed us into power, (i.e. Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice) So RISE people. BECOME AWARE! READ! and most importantly VOTE! There is more to life than "bling"! Remember its has been less than 50 years since were were actually able to exercise suffrage! So do it! Ghandi said "Be the change you want to see in the world".

PHOTOSHOP OR NOT ???

I'm going to give Kelly the benefit of the doubt on this one... Now I KNOW she cannot be stupid enough to get dressed knowing that cameras will be shooting her from EVERY angle and NOT shave under her arms.. She would have had to see that when she applied her deodorant!! So I know somebody with a little too much time on their hands used a lil photoshop magic to put this hair here!! OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I HOPE!!

YES, NO, MAYBE MARTINI GLASSES, THE FUTURE OF FLIRTING

I thought this was really cool. It is a concept design by Michael Roller called the Yes, No Maybe Martini glasses. The asymmetrical shape of the glass gives the ordinary martini glass a bit of character and personality. But the best part is how the glasses can be positioned together. When two people flirt, one glass can lean into another to show the person next to them that they are interested. This give the other person the opportunity to turn their glass toward or away without ever saying a word. It's fun and flirty...not to mention fresh and innovative.. I like! 

A LIL LOVEY DOVEY, KISS KISS??

I don't know what Bush whispered in the ear of Rep. Christopher Shay of Connecticut but whatever it was it:

But it prompted this reaction...

And here's a close up...in Hi-Def...

Ok I know its supposed to be don't ask, don't tell, but forget that..I'm asking: Why is this man kissing your neck Mr. Bush??? Inquiring minds want to know...

MEET THE LADIES OF FLAVOR OF LOVE 3 (AND I USE THE TERM LADIES LOOSELY)

As you may have heard Flava Flav is back looking for "love" in Flavor of Love 3...VH-1 claimed that this season the "ladies" were more humble, classy and serious about finding "love"...Well by looking at these pics, I'm going to steal a quote from that classic film Friday, "U ain't gosta lie, (Vh-1), U ain't gosta lie"

Lets meet the "ladies" shall we:

Thing 1(Why?)

Thing 2 (Ok..why again?)

                                                                           

Bee-Ex

Ice ( looks like she's trying to take her shirt off already)

Dyme (I'm assuming her name is referring to the entire cost of her outfit)

Bunz (let me guess how she got her name)

El

Prancer (as in Prancer and Dancer and Donner and Vixen??)

Peechee (uumm too easy)

Rayna

Q-tee (she kinda looks like hoops)

Shore-tee (I'll pass)

IT'S A SIGN!!!...NO REALLY IT IS

Believe it or not this is an actual road sign in Newberry, South Carolina that directs traffic to nearby towns, Clinton and Prosperity. Hmmmm how ironic..

DEAR KELLY, (letters to the famous)

Dear Kelly,

I know that you are trying. Hell it isn't easy to make it big living in the shadow of the "Almighty Beyonce" ...I actually think that you can sing and I know your talent spands far beyond what Papa Knowles allows you to reveal. But I think you've lost yourself in trying to compete with B. I mean lets be honest, she is waaay better at this sex appeal thing than you... So maybe you should try your talents elsewhere because you're trying too hard sweetie. Like the great "philospher" Jigga said "We don't believe you, you need more people" This performance at the G-A-Y in London with your a$$ hanging out is to say the least, not a good look...Resorting to stripteasing in hooker wear will not make you better than Beyonce...I'm just saying...Do Better sweetie! Your fans need you...ALL THREE OF THEM!

KENNEDY'S SUPPORT OBAMA...AND THE LIST GOES ON

Barrack Obama's presidential campaign has picked up a very much desired endorsement of Sen. Edward Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy (Former Pres. Kennedy's daughter) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (Sen. Edward's son).

Sen. Kennedy referred to Obama as "a new national leader who has given America a different kind of campaign--a campaign not just about himself, but about all of us." He spoke in Washington about the similarities between the works of his assasinated brothers John and Robert and the campaign promises of Obama. The senator remained on the sideline for months claiming he was friends with all three democratic candidates but then went on to say at the rally:

"Every time I've been asked over the past year who I would support in the Democratic primary, my answer has always been the same: I'll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country's best days are still to come," Kennedy said. "I've found that candidate. And I think you have, too."

Caroline Kennedy said that Obama "offers the same sense of hope and inspiration" as did her father. Rep. Kennedy offered his support also.

Black author Toni Morrison, who once labeled Bill Clinton as the "first black president" has now offered her endorsement of the Obama campaign.. Morrision said that she always has admired Hillary Clinton for her vast knowledge and mastery of politics but stated that Obama's "creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom."

oooooooh TAKE THAT HILLARY....and Bill!

MONEY ON MY MIND AND MY CLOTHES..

Money Clothing, a clothing brand established in England in 2003 by Melvyn de Villiers and Nick Cordell has released some interesting creations designed for those who like to wear their wealth on their sleeve per se. The latest additions to their line are no different. The "Waist of Money" belt, designed by Wendy Blandes Jewelry in London, is 3.3 pounds of 18 karat gold.  T.I. wore a belt similar to this one at the 2007 MTV VMA's that was priced at about $40,000. 

And for the ladies or "gentleman" they have the "Swag Bag" , an Italian leather duffle lined with fifty actual $1 bills and detailed with 18 karat gold hardware. Now that is different.

Rappers, Chingy, The Clipse and Cassidy are fans of this brand... Its kind of ironic how the ones with the least amount of money want to show it off the most....hmmmm 

PHARRELL COLLABS WITH LOUIS VUITTON

Check out the commercial:

Pharrell has teamed up with designer Louis Vuitton to create a new line of jewelry for the Blason Jewelry Collection. The commercial features a few of the pieces shown here and music by N*E*R*D... I think this is a really good look for Mr. Williams, unlike some of those ice creame creations...very classy..well done.

AWWWWW MAN THIS MADE MY DAY!!

The caption reads as follows: “US President George W. Bush (C) leans over to talk with a girl (R) after Bush participated in a lesson for young children on the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day during a tour of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC, 21 January 2008. By Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty.”

Awww man I think she summed up the feelings of the entire USA in one look This is H-i-l-a-r-o-u-s!!...I don't know who you are little girl, but thank you for making my day!!!

WHAT IDIOTS LOOK LIKE....

Ok this is sooo random but I got this picture in an email today and I thought it was hilarious. If you have ever wondered what an idiot looks like... well here you are. And yes that is a POWER CORD floating on FLIP FLOPS!! 

REGGIE'S IN LOOOOVE...I GUESS THE TAPE HELPED..

Sports Illustrated caught up with NFL superstar Reggie Bush and ____star (you fill in the blank) Kim Kardashian in Park City, Utah as they discussed their new relationship:

  "We've been friends for years," said Kardashian. "And the relationship just developed over time. Everything Reggie does is from the heart and that's a quality I've always loved about him."

Bush on the paparazzi:

"I hate the paparazzi," said Bush, who plans to get into acting after he retires from football. "I honestly do. She knows I don't like it, but it comes with the territory. I deal with it. It doesn't make me view her any different, it's part of her life and so you just deal with it, but I hate it. I don't like it all. When I'm not with her, they don't care about me, when I'm with her they're all over us."

"She's a football fan now," said Bush. "She wasn't before, but she is now."

"Well, I don't know if I'm a football fan," said Kardashian. "I'm a Saints fan. I'm a Reggie Bush fan, but I'm learning."

Bush, who admits he's never been happier.

"We have a great relationship," he said. "We're both in the limelight so it's actually good for me and her. We both understand what goes with that and it's going to make us stronger in the long run. A lot of the outside stuff you just have to ignore and live your life and you can't allow people to dictate how you live your life. We're happy and that's all that matters."

Hmmm. Interesting. Sounds like he's whipped and she's running that relationship... but i guess so I'm not mad

WEEZY NOOOO!

The Yuma County Attorney's Office has filed felony drug and weapons charges against Lil' Wayne.. His tour bus was stopped at a US Border Patrol checkpoint near Dateland, Ariz. He was traveling with 11 other people.

The Drug Enforcement Administration reported that the Border Patrol canine unit found nearly "4 ounces of marijuana, just over an ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia". Hmmmm NOT SURPRISING! Officials also found a .40 caliber pistol that is registered to Mr. Dwayne Carter (Lil' Wayne's legal name)  Weezy's out on bail now. I guess we will see where this goes.  

ALL HAIL TIANA... DISNEY'S FIRST BLACK PRINCESS...

I think this is very exciting. The Princess and the Frog is an animated film that is currently in development by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The heroine of the movie is Tiana, played by Tony Award Winning, Anika Nona Rose (the third member in Dreamgirls). Tiana is Disney's first African American Princess which has already stirred up some controversy... It seems that Tiana was originally named "Maddy" and was made a chambermaid, which some perceived to be stereotypical and racist. Disney quickly responded and changed the character's name to Tiana, who will no longer be a chambermaid but a 19 year-old heroine. The title of the film also underwent a name change from The Frog Princess to The Princess and the Frog. 

The film will be an American fairy tale musical set in New Orleans during the 1920s Jazz Age. Sounds exciting...I can't wait! It's about time Disney!

FIRST BLACK PREZ?? UUH I THINK NOT!

Former President Bill Clinton has been considered to be our "first black president"....Well that's funny because this video catches him snoozing at Harlem Convent Avenue Baptist Church at a Martin Luther King celebration... Hmmm. Well I guess I can't entirely blame him because the Baptist have been known to hold service for like 3 days straight. But for God's sakes you are the Former President who is considered by many, including famous black author Toni Morrison, America's "first black president". Which i personally think is completely ridiculous anyway! Not only that but you are campaigning for your wife now!! If you were not interested you should have just faked it... Do Better Mr. Clinton, do better!

Lights. Camera, Duuuck!!

This is the Mamiya 1954. It is what is looks like, a pistol camera. The Mamiya was created in Japan in 1954 exclusively for police training purposes. It is an actual camera though and shoots half-size onto 35 mm film. Only 250 were ever created and now this one is on ebay for about $25,000!! OOook 

Well i thought this was pretty fly but $25,000 fly, it is not...or maybe I'm just saying that because its out of my price range!

MARY JANE FLATS MAKING A COMEBACK..

And you fashion aficionados, like myself, will be interested to know that Chanel recently held it's 2008 season haute couture show in Paris. The line featured these Mary Jane flats that every model wore with each outfit, even gowns...No heels in the entire show! The flats gave the usually avant-garde appearance of haute couture a more youthful look...I like!
