Reality Chicks

Mrs. Bey Preggers!!

2011-08-28T23:42:00.008-04:00

It looks like we'll soon being hearing the giggles of a Carter-Knowles baby! During tonight's MVA's Beyonce kind-of announced her rumored pregnancy to the media and paps.

Even though she didn't make an official announcement and "her people" didn't issue a statement, Bey's flowly red one-shoulder dress said it all!

Well congrats to the parents-to-be. This will be the first baby for both Beyonce and Jay-Z. We definitely didn't see this coming!!

Jennifer's Celebration Ends With a SPLASH!

2011-08-09T10:31:00.010-04:00

Last night Vh1's Basketball Wives came to an end.

On the season3
finale, Jennifer celebrated the next chapter of her life with a "Divorce Party"!

She went all OUT.

The best part was the fabulous cakes. One cake was shaped just like her ex's head (EVEN WITH THE LUMP!) HILARIOUS!

She sliced the cake, punched the cake and even stabbed a cake shaped like a headless basketball player. She paid special attention to it's basket--BALLS!

For the first time, I saw Jennifer loosen up and let her hair down. She looked like she had a great time. A beautifully built man was also there to make her night.

Side note: What in the world is Star Jones' ex husband AL doing on the show?!

Obviously, he's a good friend of Jennifer. Its a little strange. But, I guess he's just one of the GIRLS!

Anyway, all the ladies showed up minus the obvious Meeka and Royce. So, the girls had a drama free night.

But, the drama moved onto another scene! Jennifer met up her ex Eric.

The two were suppose to address their divorce, but it turned into a screaming match. True to form, Eric talked to her like she was a confused little girl. He accused her of not acting like herself. He even told her she doesn't know who she is.

Well, one word left to another Eric storms off. Jennifer tosses a drink on the FLOOR in his direction. He turns around and THROWS A DRINK RIGHT IN HER FACE! O-M-G!!!!!

At first, she had the upper hand. Eric was playing mister tough but she reminded him of the text messages he sent her about getting back together.
Unfortunately, the tabled turned quickly! He made her looks so ridiculous as she gasped for air with a soaked face.

My respect for him was dwindling after the whole going after Royce and Suzie for his new (so-called)movie thing but, now,....I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR HIM!

By the way, I'm beginning to believe the Evelyn and Chad's relationship is the real deal. Last night the two got into a little debate over him hooking up for lunch with a female friend. Evelyn went into pit bull mode and wanted to know just how WELL he knew this woman.

She wants him to get rid of all his female friends as soon as they get married. They argued for a moment but obviously it turned

him on because right in the midst of the argument Chad was looking to knock boots! I LOVE IT

Next week its the reunion and Boy O Boy does it look juicy!!!

Basketball Wives' Royce Falls Out !

2011-08-09T10:06:00.004-04:00

Over the weekend Royce Reed one star of VH1 Basketball Wives suffered a seizure during a charity softball game.

Reed took part in the Duffy’s Hope Celebrity Softball Game in WIlmington, DE. While she was playing ball, Reality Chicks' sources said she pulled a hamstring muscle, returned to the bench and then passed out.

Royce says, a combination of exhaustion, stress, the heat and her diet caused the episode.

Meantime, word on the Reality Chicks' streets is that Lil Miss Royce is being replaced on VH1's Basketball Wives.

We will keep an ear to the streets on that one!

Fanny's Preggers!

2011-08-01T15:51:00.005-04:00

After months of rumors, American Idol 2004 winner Fantasia announced that she is indeed pregnant! Okay, We saw Ms. Fanny during this years' Essence Music Festival in New Orleans and baby-girl wasn't hiding a thing!

Fantasia made the announcement during a concert Sunday, the singer told the crowd in Jacksonville Florida;

"God has given me this child and I don't have to hide it from none of y'all," "You are the first person that I share this news with, and I share this with you because I can relate to you,". "And for a while I walked around figuring out 'What will they say and what will they think about me?' But now I tell you I don't live my life for folk."

Well, we wish Fantasia the best! No word if the baby's father is Antwaun Cook; he's Tasia's on-again, off-again (married/divorced) boyfriend. 27-year old Fantasia already has a 9-year old daughter.

Hollywood Hotties in "Red Tails"

2011-07-31T23:03:00.006-04:00

We haven't been this excited about a movie cast since "Takers"! But really, the "Red Tails" trailer was just released and talk about a cute fest! Okay, seriously, "Red Tails" is a bio-pic that tells the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, who were the first all African-American aerial unit during World War II. "Red Tails" is backed by George Lucas and directed by Anthony Hemingway so you know it's going to be a must see movie (Oscar anyone?).

The movie stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard and Bryan Cranston and co-stars some of Hollywood's hottest up and coming young actors plus rapper Method Man and R&B singer Ne-Yo! (I

promise, it's a health obession I have with Ne-Yo).

Basketball Wives L.A.: Drama On the West Side!

2011-07-31T18:23:00.008-04:00

Soon, you'll be able to get all the trash-talking, face slapping good times of "Basketball Wives" west coast style. That's right, "Basketball Wives: L.A." is set to premiere on Monday August 29 at 8pm ET/PT on VH1.

Recently, the cast of the much anticipated and controversial second franchise of "Basketball Wives" was announced. Now that the show has expand

ed to L.A, fans can expect to see the high flying drama of:

Kimsha Artest (wife of Ron Artest, L.A. Lakers),

Gloria Govan (fiancee of Matt Barnes, L.A. Lakers)

Laura Govan (sister of Gloria Govan and former boo of Gilbert Arenas, Washington, Wizards)

Jackie Christie (wife of Doug Christie, former L.A. Clippers),

Shaunie O'Neal puts on her executive producer hat for "Basketball Wives: L.A." There were some reports that Shaunie wasn't exactly thrilled about some of the cast members but, we're sure that she had the last word on which ladies were involved.

We can't wait for the full court action in L.A.!

Project Runway Season, " Come as You are!"

2011-07-29T08:19:00.011-04:00

The premiere show of Project Runway

Season 9 kicked off. The theme,.." Come as You are and Make it Work!"

Last night the judges had to decide which 16 designers would get a room and a spot on the show. The 16 were chosen from 20 finalist.

The first challenge was pretty impression.

The group was dragged out of bed by Mr. Tim Gunn at 5am. He walked them through the streets of New York City, heading straight to the design studio. They had to use the clothes on their backs from pjs to boxers and a sheet to make an outfit for the runway.

After some dye, added zippers and accessories, the fashion show was GREAT! Most of the creation were completely unrecognizable.

The bottom three:

Rafael who designed an interesting top with an ill fitted pair of sweat pant leggings.

Julie, she used her horrible pajama pants to ma

ke a horrible top pairing it

with a horrible pair of oversized pants.

Josh made three pieces and they did not compliment t

he model's figure. The tank had an odd square neckline the shorts were pulling along the crouch and then that odd sweatshirt hoodie/cape !

Rafael turned out to be the judges' biggest disaster. He was the first sent home.

I think the judges were a little off on this decision. Julie's lack of creativity should have sent her packing.

The winner was the oldest of the cast, 57 year old Bert. He made an adore dress. He used his gingham boxer shorts and sheets to make a simple, sweet but sexy dress.

My favorite of the evening was Anya. The former beauty queen from Trindad made a great pair of pants and used her kimono inspired pj top to make a very simple and chic top.

She's quite amazing because she's only been sewing for 4 months. She had some trouble during the challenge, but she pulled it off. One could call her a "genius" for making one of the best outfits with the lea

st amount of experience.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!!

The Designers are BACK!

2011-07-28T11:19:00.010-04:00

Season 9 of Project Runway gets underway tonight at 9pm on Lifetime!

It's one of my favorite shows. I love to see the designers come up with the most fascinating designs and every season I say,.."I want to learn how to sew!"

This season the show is making its own history with twenty (20) contestants. In past seasons there were only 16 to 17 designers.

Another Project Runway first, this season they are letting the fans have a say. People can vote for the "Fan Favorite" award by Twitter during each episode .

Tonight, actress Christina Ricci will serve as a guest judge. Additional "Project Runway" guest judges will include Kim Kardashian, Zoe Saldana and Malin Akerman.

Project Runway 9pm on Lifetime. Let the SEWING drama begin!

Leaving Rome With A BANG!!!!

2011-07-28T07:27:00.007-04:00

So, I had to watch Basketballs Wives one more time before I made any comments. Al I have to say is WHY,...Tami?

The last episode I thought that she was a little too obsessed with the whole Meeka thing. But, this episode she took her obsession 10 steps forward.

So what if she found out Meeka made some off the wall comments about her wardrobe! How old are we?

I agree Meeka played both sides of the fence and thought that Jennifer, Evelyn and Shawnie were the "IT" girls. Everyone wants to belong and she played it the wrong way. The other thing I agreed with Tami about was, Meeka was suppose to sit back and observe the girls before saying a word about any of them.

But what I can NOT agree with is the shove to the face. Why would Tami hit Meeka in the face?

By the way,.."Reality Chicks" just got word that Meeka is indeed suing Tami. She filed a lawsuit against her for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and intentional interference with contractual relations.

Anyway, I'm really starting to wonder, can the ladies go anywhere and NOT act a fool? What's more crazy is if you think back about all the public acts of foolishness Tami is in 99 percent of them. Can we say,.."Learn some self control!!!"

As for Suzie, knowing how Tami is I can NOT figure out for the life of me why she would tell her what Meeka said. That was almost as bad as the smack in the face. Its all about starting trouble! Meeka had every right to leave and set up that meeting with Suzie back in the states. She let her know that running back and telling Tami what she said was a bad move.

By the way,...Tami did call Jennifer, Evelyn and Shawnie the "Fake" ones!

On a more pleasant note, I was so glad that Evelyn and Jennifer kissed and made up.

They are great friends. I must admit the make up session brought a tear to my eyes because it was so sincere. Hopefully those two can keep the drama out of their friendship!

I wonder one thing,...Whose gonna tell Royce about all the action in Rome? Can you say,....SUZIE!!!!!

The Claws, Spike and Knifes were OUT!

2011-07-27T11:39:00.009-04:00

"Hatred" is such a mild description of the way the ladies of Bravo TV's Real Housewives of New York feel about each other.

If you missed part one of the reunion special this week, you missed a whole lot of name calling and finger pointing.

This season, the ladies separated their friendship. It

was basically the blondes against the brunettes. Those teams not only sat on the same couch during the reunion special they also stuck to that theme when fighting.

I must admit during the season I was a big fan of team "Brunette" but I thought that with all the cuckoo-ness of team "Blonde" those ladies would be great to party with.

However, after watching the reunion all the ladies are CUCKOO and VICIOUS! That's a dangerous combination.

Host Andy Cohen is normally great at controlling the Housewives but the ladies of NY took over. Andy became so frustrated, he had to tell them to "Shut the F*#@^ Up" over 5 times!

Word has it, that the ladies hate each other so much (even off screen), they may NOT be able to film together. Bravo may have to revamp the whole NY cast!

If you ask me, I say get rid of Alex and Ramona. Those two are always playing victims but are so judgmental. They make some of the most inappropriate, rude, condescending and vicious comments. And then act like everyone else is crazy. Not to mention, Alex and her husband Simon are so BIZARRE!

As for Jill, who is the most hated, I would let her have an occasionally visit to the show. To me she's not as bad as people make her out to be.

Sonya must stay for ever! She makes for great tv. She lives on another planet. She reminds me of a spaced out Samantha on "Sex and the City". She embraces her sexiness and spreads it everywhere she goes. However, she acts as if she is larger than life. That is so funny!

Reality TV FAKES!!!!!

2011-07-25T07:58:00.006-04:00

As you know, we Reality Chicks watch a lot of reality shows. We realize that most of them are not truly "real reality". That being said, isn't it a little insulting to our intelligence when we can clearly see the acting in the reality shows.

One comes to mind,.."Jerseylicious"!

Watching the cast go through so many scripted task and drama sometimes is simply insulting!

What's even more scarier, I CAN NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL! I watch every week hoping for a sign that it's more real than fake, but NOT ONE SIGN!

I still have my favorites; Olivia, Gi Gi and Anthony. And of course, the ones I do not like; Alexis and Tracy.

What's a "Reality Chick" to do? Should we change the channel, continue to watch and report or should we just get use to it?!!!!

Here's a few others; Clean House, How Do I Look? MTV's "The Challenge:Rivals", The Bachelor and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

MTV's Teen Mom

2011-07-21T08:18:00.008-04:00

So MTV's Teen moms are back and the drama continues.

Farrah still a bundle of nerves as she raises her beautiful daughter "Sophia. This season she's doing some modeling, still in culinary school and now battling with her late baby's fathers family.

Catelyn living life as a mother from a distance. She and

her longtime boyfriend Tyler are growing up getting joy from pictures and some occasional visits from the baby girl "Carly" they gave up for adoption. Family problems from their mom and dad still playing a large part of their lives.

Maci the only teen among the cast with a little boy "Bentley". She is the most stable of the group. Her biggest problems come from her (HAND

SOME but selfish) baby's daddy Ryan. Child support is an issue this season and the introduction of her new boyfriend Kyle as the two move in together.

And then there is Amber! Her drama is draining. She is a mom of an adorable little girl name "Leah". This season she is at risk of losing her after "losing her cool" for the one millionth time. But, this time it became physical. She attacked her on again, off again boyfriend "Gary". Gary is also her daughter's father. The two are heading

to court and counseling.

I've watched the ladies over the years on MTV and I think this should be a MUST watch for all teens. The ladies lives are not pretty and motherhood has turned them upside down!

So, to those folks criticizing MTV get over it, would you prefer for it to remain a secret that teens have babies!

A lot are upset claiming the show glorifies being a "teen mom" and is making these ladies famous. WHAT SHOW ARE YOU WATCHING?!!! Yes, they are now famous but I'm far from being a teen and they have had an affect on me. They've been stripped of their youth, no freedom, stuck with boys in their lives who resent them or just move on like the baby docent exist. That is some "harsh realty"!

What is so fabulous about that?!!

Everywhere They Go DRAMA Follows!

2011-07-18T21:38:00.010-04:00

Well last night on Basketball Wives the biggest fight, I was NOT looking forward to, took place.

Evelyn finally received a copy of the interview that Jennifer did, where she bad mouth Chad Ochocinco (Evelyn's hubby to be) on the radio.

Jennifer called him a "media whore" and wondered why Evelyn would get out of one bad situation and move on to someone like Chad.

The biggest problem I see is that Jen never discussed her feelings with Eve. Also, why would she discuss that on the radio.

Well, true to Evelyn form she went off. Jen was tot

ally confused because she did not feel her interview was negative. The argument was like watching a bad car accident.

Tami and Shaunie were there to witness and they were both emotionally affected too. They refused to end the night without getting Jennifer and Evelyn back together!

I'm hoping the besties can put it back together. They both have a lot of explaining to do. Evelyn has been feeling some tension with Jennifer regarding Chad already.

Also, I believe Jennifer is either feeling left out, jealous or wishing Eve would not date an athlete due to their reputation with the ladies.

Whatever the feelings they need to talk!

Now, I can NOT end without talking about Tami and Meeka. Their relationship is so exhausting.

I think Tami should move on. Everyday she questions Meeka. She wants her to admit she was talking trashing on her and everyone else.

Tami went as far to ask why Meeka was on vacation with them forcing her to take a trip

with someone she does not like!

Meeka did play both sides of the fence but, its just too much Tami. You are in Rome Italy and you want to focus on Meeka.

So it looks like next week blows are thrown!!! I'm hoping its not Evelyn and Jennifer but I betting it's Tami and Meeka.

I said it before now, I'm saying it again,...Where EVER they go ,...DRAMA follows!!!

VH1 Puts A Ring On "Single Ladies"

2011-07-18T16:22:00.009-04:00

Love it or hate it, VH1's hit series, "Single Ladies" has been picked up for a second season. "Single Ladies" is the first hour-long scripted series for the network and stars; Stacey Dash, LisaRaye McCoy and Charity Shea as three besties looking for love in the right and wrong places.

The show has been a huge success for VH1, averaging 2.8 million viewers on Monday's after "Basketball Wives". This is what executive producer Queen Latifah had to say about the show getting a second season.

“My partner Shakim and I are so excited that ‘Single Ladies’ has been received so well. We knew from the beginning this show was going to appeal to people everywhere; it’s funny, sexy and smart. We are so happy that we were able to join with VH1 to find such a great home for this incredible show.”

This season of "Single Ladies" wraps up August 8th and production for season 2 will kick off this fall and air next year.

Teresa this,..Teresa THAT! ALL RIGHT already!

2011-07-18T13:45:00.009-04:00

First, let me just say; I'm a big fan of Bravo's Real Housewives franchise. I love the ladies of Atlanta, New York, New Jersey, Orange County and the women of Beverly Hills.

But this time around I'm a little disappointed. Bravo has decided to add, original cast member, Teresa Giudice's family to the show. And I have

tried and tried to watch and enjoy but after last night its confirmed,..."IT'S TOO MUCH"! I'm tired of hearing Tere

sa as the topic of every conversation.

If it's not her cousin Kathy, it's her brother Joe or his wife Melissa. The whole fa

mily spends most of the episode pointing the blame at each other.

I must admit I'm more of a fan of Teresa's because she i

s one of the originals but I kind of like Kathy. I have a greater love for her family, especially her son. He is "hilarious!"

But, when it comes to Melissa,...I'm just not a fan. I think she is so fake. She is competing for Teresa's fame, family and lifestyle. (NO ONE CAN OUT SHINE HER!) I believe she dogs Teresa so hard, hoping we will LOVE her and HATE Teresa!

I really wish Bravo would reconsider. I'm sure we can get 2 other rich New Jersey wives to jump on board.

What really has me upset is that I'm starting to love the Real Housewives of

New York more than New Jersey. They're a little crazy and a lot "COO-COO"!

So, I beg you Bravo lets make some changes. Stick to the friends, fake friends, rivals and strangers! Not cousins, sisters, brothers, sister-in-laws!!!

Basketball Wives,.."You're Not Invited"!

2011-07-13T09:39:00.016-04:00

This week's episode, starts off with my three favorites; Shaunie, Jennifer and Evelyn,

sitting by the pool side catching up. Hmmmmm! It makes you want to vacation all year round!!!

They talked about Jennifer's ex-husband and how she was ready to move on. That leads Jennifer and Evelyn to a sex toy store. As they prepare for her "I'm divorce" party!

Anyway, we then move on to the

opposite of my favorite,....Royce!!! Her and her new boyfriend are getting quite cozy but her dad, Julie and Meeka see him as a "Slickster".

I can't really tell if he is up to "no good" yet. He is a very handsome man, and I will admit he's a very smooth talker and very self assured.

A big, big come up from last season's Dwayne. Who by the way, Jennifer and Evelyn did not like. They both thought he was an opportunist. Royce you hate them so much BUT, they were right on target!

Anyway, Shaunie thought everyone needed a little get away. Well,... not everyone little miss Royce was voted out!

Speaking of little miss Royce, why does she seem like such a child compared to the others? Is it because of her little girl like wardrobe? Just a thought.

Of course, Julie and Tami were a little disappointed to know that Royce was not included in their week long Italy trip. Not so upset to say they're not going! I totally agree with the decision.. She is just too much drama! Royce said she is so happy the crew was leaving for a week. So she can get a relief of all the drama. She's the main drama creator.

Anyway, the ladies are now in Rome, Italy. Julie and Jennifer both have their eyes open for an Italian man, looking for a little romance.

Tami goes right in on Meeka creating some more drama. Hopefully Meeka learns to keep her mouth shut and try not to pick sides.

And finally the most upsetting fight is in the works,....Evelyn and Jennifer!!! NOOOOOOOO! I love them both. I love them as besties! I just love them. Anyway, Jennifer did a radio interview and Evelyn got a copy of it and her conversation was not too positive.

Jennifer was basically discussing Evelyn's engagement to Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson. She called him a "media whore". She wondered why Evelyn would get with another athlete. Just lots of things that Evelyn found offensive. Next week, the two go head to head in Rome. I hope they can fight about it and move on.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.... "Basketball Wives" in my favorite!!! It never, ever disappoints.

Reality Chicks BACK and on to the "Mob Wives" Reunion

2011-07-11T11:34:00.014-04:00

The Reality Chicks are BACCKKKKKK!

After taking a moment to do a little brainstorming and revamping , Reality Chicks are back and ready to talk about,.."ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!

Let's Go........

What a busy "REALITY" night! Of course, Reality Chicks checked out the juiciest ones.

Top on our list the "Mob Wives" Reunion.

Drita D'Avanzo, Carla Facciolo, Karen Gravano and Renee Graziano all got back together to discuss the drama that fueled their season.

No fighting, shoving or almost fights, but the Mafia drama was still in the mix.

Wendy Williams was the host which was a good addition to the reunion.

The biggest fight of the season was between Drita D'Avanzo and Renee Graziano. So, I thought the ladies would pick up where they left off. (Throwing Punches) but they opted to just talk about it.

Renee was still sticking to her guns that Drita was wrong for not letting her know she was dating and marrying her ex. Drita never backed down either insisting that the two were no longer friends, not to mention Renee cheated and did her thing. So, she didn't think it was a big deal. Although it was clear to see that Drita was so over it.

Drita is trying to move on. She said that she was officially divorcing her jail house hubby Lee. Towards the end of the season, she found out while he was home he was cheating on her and had their kids around his mistress. I'm not one to say "dump" him but Drita girl "ON to the NEXT ONE"!

The biggest moment of the evening, "drama mama" Carla walked off the set. She was pissed because although she was no longer with him Karen defended her ex boyfriend's "touchy" ways.

While he was dating Karen he touched the breast and butt of each of the women. But, both he and Karen blamed it on the alcohol.

Karen didn't think it was a big deal nor did she think he was a "scum bag" like Carla insisted. Not to mention Karen did not believe he put a hand on Carla. Carla was pissed and asked,....Why didn't he touch me cause I'm a little chunky?!!!" AWKWARD

At the end, it was good to see each of the ladies have evolved. They're all moving on with life and each vow to never date a man mixed up in a life of crime. "DOUBT" it! That's all they know.

We will definitely see, VH-1 renewed "Mob Wives" for a second season! So, see you in the fall ladies!

ANTM...Back to the Catwalk!

2010-09-08T11:11:00.006-04:00

Tyra and her fashion model wanna bees are back! Tonight the 15th cycle of America's Next Top Model kicks off .

As always, over the next couple of weeks 14 hopefuls will compete for the title,.."America's Next Top Model.

However, this cycle's winner will receive a new "High Fashion" prize package:
a contract with IMG Models, one of the top international modeling management companies in the world; fashion spread in Vogue Italia and an additional spread and cover of Beauty in Vogue; and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics.

"Sounds pretty impressive to me"!

I'm hoping this season will stand up against the past and even better. Otherwise, it maybe time for Tyra and her models to hang their pumps up.
I'm pretty sure we will see our normal drama;..one we love to hate,..one we feel sorry for,..one who will have the talent but can't get a good picture and one we think we be the winner!

I'm keeping my finger crossed!

Let's meet the models:
America's Next Top Model - Cycle 15 Pictured: (front row) Kayla, Chelsey, Kendal, Ann, Esther, Lexie, Liz, Jane (back row) Kacey, Sara, Free, Anamaria, Chris, Terra

No More Danielle,..No More Danielle!!!

2010-09-08T07:45:00.010-04:00

Ok ,..I watched the second part of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's reunion. All I can say is,...I'm so sick of Danielle Staub.

The whole season was surrounded around her made up drama. She is such a confused woman. From her screaming and crying like she such a changed woman to her playing the role of a victim with body guards. I have had enough! I also feel so sorry for her kids.

Well, to my delight, It's official she will NOT be returning. One source tells me she quit, the other says she was fired. I'm more likely to believe she was fired. But, what ever the case maybe I'm glad I will not have to see her face again.

However, true to Danielle form she is NOT going out quietly. She claims;.... she is too good for the show,...the women have tortured her so much, she fears they may try to kill her. And lastly,... she calls Teresa an ape and says she needs to do something with her troubled hair line.

The question now is,.. "Will she get her own reality show?! I hope NOT!!!!

Meantime, according to reports, Teresa maybe leaving the show too. She had a falling out recently with Bravo TV because they couldn't agree on money matters.

There's also claims she is not happy that her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga has been added to the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey to replace Dina Manzo.
NO,... NO,.....Don't go Teresa! Who else will give us the true feel of a traditional Italian woman?!!
I will be very sad if she goes. I love her and Jacqueline.

Also, Teresa and Joe are facing some more legal trouble. Allegedly, the couple has been accused of perjury and fraud in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for withholding assets from their Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed in October.

Well, I hope pray to the Real Housewives of New Jersey gods that she will remain on the show. I would miss her!!

Diddy Faces Another Lawsuit!

2010-09-02T22:04:00.005-04:00

Poor Sean "Diddy" Combs. The 40 year old hip hop mogul is being sued by a former employee for age discrimination. 51-year old Francesca Spero filed a lawsuit this week in New York; claiming that in 1988 she introduced Diddy to Russell Simmons and worked as an executive 12 years before she was fired in March.

So this is where the age discrimination plays in. Spero says that she was fired after having hip surgery and that someone found out that she was treated for a drug relapse. So what does Diddy say? According to him, Spero was fired for "many reasons" but not for age discrimination.

We'll stayed tuned its sure to be an interesting legal battle.

Mr. and Mrs. T.I behind bars!

2010-09-02T12:32:00.004-04:00

According to reports, Rapper T.I. and wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested in West Hollywood on drug charges.

The two were pulled over late Wednesday night during a traffic stop, when officers smelled alleged marijuana smoke coming from their vehicle.
Thursday morning the couple was released on $10,000 bail.

"Now What?" What does this mean for the rapper?
If you remember T.I was just released from prison in March, after serving seven months and three months in a halfway house for federal weapons charges.
Did he violate parole?....Will he have to go back to jail? If so,...How long?

Man T.I, as a true fan,...WHY? What a way to make a public appearance as "Newlyweds"!

Kimmy Leaves Baby Phat!

2010-08-24T11:32:00.004-04:00

Was it a purr-fect ending or was it a cat fight between Kimora Lee Simmons and the folks over at Baby Phat? Looks like after 14-years the head diva in charge is no longer. Last week Kimora announced that beginning September 1st, she was leaving the Phat Farm Family (trying saving that 3 times fast.)

Kimora says, "It's time for me to move on and further expand my other businesses and create a new phenomenon. I adore all those who have faithfully been with me since the beginning. I'm forever dedicated to my family, fans, and customers. My inspiration has always come from the fabulous women who have been with me through the years as we've grown from young party girls to power players!"

But of course she couldn't just make a departure without some gossip! Insiders are saying she may have been forced out by the company's new management.

Ochocinco Says No to Black Girls?

2010-06-02T08:13:00.007-04:00

We just heard some very strange news over at "The YBF". Ok, it's not all that strange, its kind of funny really.

It's all about baller, Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson of the Bengals and his new VH1 reality show called "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch". Needless to say it's a dating show, and will probably be on the same caliber as other dating reality show greats like: "Flavor of Love."

Anyway, the folks over at "The YBF" got a hold of some very interesting news. According to their sources, Ochocino is casting off all of the African American contestants in favor of the Latina and White ones! Say it isn't so!

All I have to say is, Ochocinco, wake up! Its 2010! If this is true, shame on you and shame on VH1 for not promoting diversity and not making the cast members diverse enough :(

But I have to admit Ochocinco is a cutie! A weirdo but a cute one.

Big Poppa's Little Girl Dating Master P's Son???

2010-06-02T07:45:00.010-04:00

What do Master P's son, Romeo and Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta have in common? Well it looks like they both have the same taste, when it comes to dating rich people.

Romeo has announced that he is officially dating Kaitlin Naijar. I know her name doesn't sound familiar, but she is the daughter of Lee Naijar-the big Atlanta real estate mogul, a.k.a "Big Poppa".

We all know "Big Poppa" as Kim Zolciak's rich mystery man. The word is that Romeo met Kaitlin at USC, where they are both students.

Hmmm, sounds like a new reality show in the making!

Bye Bye Ren! A Top Model First?

2010-03-25T08:53:00.009-04:00

Did I mention how much I'm lovin this cycle of "America's Next Top Model"? And this weeks' show was filled with all the Top Model drama we love!

This week, the contestants were surprised by "The Fabulous Toccara" (cycle 3, BET). Toccara looked beautiful and as usual she was over the top. It's always so funny how so-called "plus" sized model shrink down to nearly main-stream model size. But anyhoo, Toccara split the girls into teams for a fashion quiz, which to me wasn't much of a quiz at all. Anyone who watches the "TV Guide channel" could have answered the so called "fashion" questions. One of the questions was, "who is the host of "Germany’s Next Topmodel ". Enough said!

The winning team won a shopping spree from Bluefly.com and they also got a chance to go on a go-see and the winner of the go-see was booked for a Bluefly.com campaign. So the winner this week was Simone. I must say at first I wasn't really feeling Simone but I think she takes great photos and she seems more down to earth, in a pageant-valley-girl way!

From the first time the cameras rolled on the girls getting out of bed, Ren complained. She complained about how miserable she was and how this show was so beneath her.

So the photo shoot this week was to create a dance-inspired pic. Right away I knew this challenge was going to be interesting. Ren complained through the entire shoot, and fell short with her "disco" inspired photo. Last week the judges (except Andre' Leon Talley) blasted Alasia. Not only was her photo "awkward" but she had no idea about what was going on during the photo shoot. But this week, Alasia stepped up her game, even as the other girls were laughing at her before she got to set; She knocked them all out the box and won the photo challenge.

Alasia is fast becoming one of my favorite contestants, even though she's a little fashion challenged. During panel, Tyra, Leon and the gang said that wouldn't be able to get pass security with her ultra-tight shinny silver swimsuit. (Not sure why she decided to wear it to panel). Did I mention, Ren complained throughout panel as well?

Ren even started a fight between Brenda and Anslee, complaining the entire time about how she hated all the drama in the house. So when it came down to elimination time, it was Brenda and Ren. Ren finally broke down and told Tyra that she didn't want to stay in the competition any longer, she was only there because of her Mom. Um, Ok but Ren was hand-picked by Tyra so it was kind of a slap in the face if you ask me. Tyra said that the judges wanted to send Ren home anyway, so I guess there were no hard feelings. Panel ended with Tara promising a new makeover for Brenda, who desperately needs it. Brenda looks like a soccer mom!

So Ren is out! Thank goodness; now that she's gone the real competition can begin.

So here's the exclusive Reality Chicks prediction of who's in trouble next week!

Brenda better watch out, if her new makeover fails, she'll be heading back home for sure.

Anslee needs to step it up a notch, she has the drive we just need to see the goods!

Tatianna is on the fence she could easily so either way.

We'll just have to wait until next week!

Finally A Top Model Worth Watching!

2010-03-10T20:53:00.009-05:00

Omgoodness! I'm so impressed with this season of top model. After last cycle fell a little short (pun intended) I am so happy to get back to the Top Model we all know and love.

I'm also impressed with the changes Tyra and the producers made. First of all, a 90 minute premier instead of the usual 2-hour. Then I'm glad they did the make overs so soon. Also Tyra adding Ren the "new" girl was a nice touch. In every cycle there are some standouts and Cycle 14 is no different.

First there's Ren, the new girl that Tyra added. The other 12 girls' only meet Ren when they arrived in New York City. So she didn't go thur all the stuff that the other contestants had to go thru. I think Ren has a very high fashion look, she's edgy but what's up with her not shaving her armpits? "Women's rights?" I can't believe she said that

Next, I'm loving Gabrielle. She is beautiful, plus she knows her stuff. The Jay's commented on her knowing a lot about the modeling industry. She says her main competition is Angelea but I totally disagree. They both might be bi-racial and look a-like but that's where their similarities end!

Angela is so ghetto. The last time she was on the show (I forgot which cycle, but she didn't make it into the house) she was cussing and fussing with the the girls. She thinks she's the one to beat but I think she's just a trouble maker.

I really like Naduah. She's a mother and was raised in a cult. Her look is very edgy and I think she will make it far in the competition.

Krista is just a chocolate version of Angela, expect she has more class and fashion sense. I can see her being a trouble maker. She's already ganging up on Alasia.

Poor Alasia, she is so lost. Mis-quoting Bible Scriptures and acting very strange, falling out in front of Tyra and making a fool of her self during the first photo shoot. The challenge was to re-create a famous top model. She was Naomi Campbell; Alasia didn't even know Naomi's signature style and fell flat when it was time to pose.

All in all I am so excited about Cycle 14! Finally the REAL Top Model is Back!

And The Winners Are...Reality Chicks Oscar Rundown!

2010-03-08T09:16:00.008-05:00

It was a big night in L.A and even bigger night for the winners of this years' Academy Awards. History was made, when Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for best director for her film "The Hurt Locker", which also won best picture.

Mo'Nique won for best supporting actress for her work in "Precious". And Sandra Bullock took the gold for best actress for "The Blind Side".

The night was also filled with lots of fashion do's and don'ts. Check out our picks for fashions biggest winners and losers of the night.

Reality Chicks Fashion Favorites!

Sarah Jessica Parker Chanel Couture
We're not always so sure what's going on in SJP's head when she picks out her red carpet looks but she always looks great. This gown screams couture and what we really love about it is; SPJ is the only woman who could pull this off! Even if her hair looks like she just got out of bead, we love her signature makeup and the draping of the dress.

Sigourney Weaver Lanvin
Can you believe Sigourney is 60! We love it! The one shoulder thing seemed to be a big trend of the night and the color is beautiful.

Rachel McAdams Elie Saab
This is my favorite dress of the night. Love the color, love the draping and love that cris-cross ruching going on. The simple jewelry and hair make the dress stand out even more.

Mo'Nique Tadashi Shoji
It was a double win for Mo'Nique, not only did she win the Oscar for best supporting actress but she scored high points in the fashion department too. She looked beautiful in the blue Tadashi dress. The ruching also was great for her body. Not too crazy about her hair accessory. Can we say Niecy Nash! (Who's the one of the newest contestant on "Dancing With the Stars".)

Gabby Sidibe Marchesa
It's Gabby' smile and confidence that makes her a stand out in this Marchesa design. The color is beautiful and we love that diamond detail though the bodice.

Now on to the designs that didn't thrill us so much.

Charlize Theron Christian Dior Couture
Wow! This dress could have worked on so many levels but the weird rose, circle things on her breast are so distracting. A big surprise, since Charlize usually gets it right.

Diane Kruger Chanel
From the color to the strange ruffles, this dress is so very interesting. I think the smokey eyes and hair make it even more bizarre.

Zoe Saldana Givenchy
Can a dress actually hurt your eyes? So much is going on with Zoe's purple Givenchy gown that we don't know what to think. But love the shoes and we love Zoe!

Vera Farmiga Marchesa
Love the color, not so crazy about the ruffle dress. I think if the ruffles stopped in the middle of the gown, it could be very beautiful but all those waves have us sea sick!

ABDC Nationals in Full Effect!

2010-02-24T07:56:00.003-05:00

Last week, MTV'S America's Best Dance Crew kicked off it's "Nationals.

After 3 weeks of dance floor battles in the East, South and West regions the competition is underway.
Each crew had to put together a performance to "Chart Toppers", current, hot songs in heavy rotation.

This year, I'm sure if I'm overly impressed with any particular crews. I do like Jungle Boogie and Blueprint Cru. I also think Poreotix's robotic moves are pretty cool but, I think afraid they maybe ONE trick ponies. Hopefully, they have real dance move skills.

Although the show has just begun I already would like to see 2 crews go home; Saltare and Royal Flush. Saltare is unique because they incorporate jump ropes but they are NOT good dancers. As far as, Royal Flush is concerned, I think they should recast the only girl dancer. She stands out because,she is stiff and NOT a good dancer.

So, hopefully the show will step it up a notch. All the past crews have been much more entertaining, interesting and great dancers.

The first crew sent packing was Swagger Crew. They were in the bottom three along with Statik Noyze and Hype 5.0. I'd much rather see Swagger Crew, instead of Royal Flush or Saltare!!

ATL's Newest Housewife? Bravo Set to Add or Replace Atlanta Housewife!

2010-02-19T15:43:00.014-05:00

Every time a new season of the "Real Housewives" series debuts, the rumor wheel gets rolling about who's getting dumped, replaced or added on. So why shouldn't the upcoming season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" be any different?

First, it seems as if the rumors that actress Victoria Rowell (also known as Drucilla from the Young and The Restless) would be joining the Atlanta ladies are not true. When I first heard that Victoria could be joining Ne Ne, Kim and the rest of the gang; I wasn't sure how she would fit. Personally I think that Victoria Rowell is too much of a "real" celebrity for a reality show like "RHOA". Don't get me wrong, I think that the "Housewives" are celebrities in their own right but the only reason they are famous is because of their reality show. On the other hand, starlets like Victoria Rowell and even Kandi are bona fide celebrities and entertainers.

So now the rumor wheel is turning again and this time its landed on entertainment attorney Phaedra Parks. Never heard of her? Well maybe you have heard of some of her clients like; Bobby Brown or Jermaine Dupri. A lot of different Atlanta based blogs like Straightfromthea.com and radio and television blogger Rodney Ho from Access Atlanta have been talking about Phaedra joining the cast for weeks now but no one has seemed to confirm it. Phaedra is no stranger to television. She is one of the producers of BET's "Tiny & Toya".

Shooting for the new season is set for next month and no word if Phaedra will replace one of the existing "Housewives". Our sources say it may be Lisa but I wouldn't be upset if Sheree' was axed!

MTV's ABDC Looks to the West!

2010-02-12T10:49:00.009-05:00

Last night,..the final regional dance off took place in the West, the home of every former American Best Dance Crew winner.

The fight was on for the final 3 spots in the nationals, that kick off February 18th.

5 crews hit the stage :

Hype 5.0--Hawaii
Heavy Impact--Los Angeles, CA
Blended Projekt-- West Covina, CA
BreakEFX--Denver, CO
Poreotix--Westminster, CA

My favorite crews of the night were Hype 5.0 and the Poreotix. The styles were completely different but just as entertaining.

Hype 5.0 was definitely hype! I loved the routine. It was exciting, with good timing and a great way to start the show off.

As for Poreotix, I've never seen a crew like them. They combined robotic moves, choreography and comedy. A strange but great combination.

After all the crews hit the stage, the final (3)three are:

Here's a recap of the (9) crews fighting to become MTV'S ABDC:

From the South:
Jungle Boogie, The Swagger Crew and Royal Flush

From the East:
Saltare, Blueprint Cru and Static Noyze

.....AND From the West:
Hype 5.0, Heavy Impact and Poreotix

For the Love of Ray J 2 Reunion...D-R-A-M-A........ D-R-A-M-A!

2010-02-11T08:06:00.013-05:00

Last night, the ladies gathered to see Ray J, reminisce and of course, air out each others dirty laundry.

With only 11 of the 19 women on the stage the drama was still big enough for one hundred people.

Ray J started the show by talking to some of the more standout women.

The first being Lava, who came off a little aggressively possessive during the show. But come to find out she continued to act like that after the show.
The girls claimed, she called the house every day starting rumors and fights. She goes to reveal that she is now dating the fastest man in the world, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt.

Well, if she starts acting too crazy he can get away pretty fast.

The "Wolf Pack" came to the stage too and the drama started with Heartbreaker.Almost every girl spoke up about her and how she was full of drama. Ray said it was like having 2 men in the house because she was so aggressive. I was never a big fan. Heartbreaker was too loud and jealous and that is a bad combination.As for the other two ladies of the "Wolf Pack", Luscious and Platinum, it was kinda strange to find out they were friends before the show. The two were actually "Go-Go" dancer together in the past. What was a little more strange, was that they often slept together in a twin bed and showered together. WHAT? Sounds like more than friends to me.

And there was the Ray J Jaguar reunion. What was up with that? It sounds to me he feels like he picked the wrong girl. He was so apologetic for kicking her off the show. Ray said, it was like he kicked her off because she was not giving up the "goods"! So, he wanted to apologize to her and say it was NOT like that at all.

The two could not keep their eyes or hands off each other and when it was time for her to leave he did NOT want her to go.

Then the DRAMA kicked into over drive. The winner, Mz.Berry came out and by design was back stage so she could not here any of the confessions. But along with Mz. Berry's appearance, the For the Love of Ray J 1 winner made an appearance. Cocktail stole the show. She was there to warn Mz. Berry because in her opinion Ray is not ready to settle down.
Also Mz.Berry confessed that her and Ray J had NOT seen each other in 5 months and that's when the crowd and ladies went CRAZY!

Cocktail the ring leader claiming the day after her show, they talked, text and he flew her out to see him the next weekend. To make matters worse, the host asked all the ladies if they had any contact with him recently and Caliente Luscious, Platinum and Cocktail ALL raised their hands! Mz.Berry looked shocked!!! WHAT"S UP WITH THAT?!!!!Well, Ray had to come out and defend himself. He entered, hugged Mz. Berry and then turns to Cocktails and says,..I don't know what the F#@K your doing here!"

One thing leads to another and it turns into a screaming match between the two. Ray flees the scene, Mz.Berry followed and then Cocktail was asked to leave,....BUT the drama continued backstage. More screaming Ray J calling Cocktail a B*@#H! She was crying, claiming she loved him and would not let him hurt Mz.Berry the way he hurt her.

...And the show came to an end. So many question unanswered. Would love to know the update and where Ray J and Mz.Berry's relationship stands.

Wow, now that's the kind of reality show I'm talking about. I was not too sure Ray and Mz. Berry would remain a couple but the special appearance of Cocktail was a BIG surprise!!!

By the way, I feel bad for Mz.Berry because she is too old to be sitting on someone's stage getting played by some young DUDE!

I guess she better do the "Grown Woman" thing and walk away!!!

MTV's ABCD Stops in the East

2010-02-05T10:52:00.009-05:00

Thursday night, it was back to the regional on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. This time the dance moves were in the East!

5 teams competed for only 3 spots in the nationals.

The thrill of the dance was not there for me, but they were good. My stand out team of the evening was Blueprint Cru. They had amazing timing and great moves. I must admit, if the first season winners were in the house,"JabbaWockeeZ"they would have put all of the crews to shame.

5 teams facing off :

Legendary Seven--Boston
Draztik--Providence Rhodes Island
Blueprint Cru--Montreal Canada
Static Noyze--Cambridge Massachusetts
Saltare (USA All star "Jump Roping" Champs)--Raleigh, NC

One thing the crew, Legendary Seven,... a few members were returning dancers of "Status Quo", second runner ups in the first season of ABDC.

I thought it was unfair that they were able to return. Maybe if they were a part of a crew that was voted off during the first or second show that have been fine but to make it to the very end,..that is a unfair advantage.

....The 3 three teams heading to the "Nationals" on February 18th

Blueprint Cru Saltare
Static Noyze

Next week ABDC will stop in the West, which by the way, has been home to ALL the former "Champions"!!

Meantime,...there's a lawsuit against Randy Jackson and MTV.
Jackson, ABDC executive producer and MTV are being sued by Dwight McGhee.

According to reports, last week McGhee filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court , claiming that the idea for ABDC was his.

He said he pitched a show about a dance crew to MTV in 2004 called "International Breakerz League"and four years later "America's Best Dance Crew" premiered.

McGhee contends the show is too similar to his pitch to be a coincidence. He's seeking $2 million in damages.

Ray J found "L-O-V-E"!!!!

2010-02-02T07:10:00.011-05:00

Last night on the final episode of Vh-1's "For The Love Of Ray J", the single r and b singer picked a winner.

It looks like Mz.Berry is his "girlfriend". Mz. Berry whose real name is Connie Deveaux, is a 32-year-old realtor from New Jersey. She beat out, 23 year old party girl Platinum "Mary Berry".

Before making his decision Ray J spent the entire day with each lady. First date, he and Platinum flew to Las Vegas to gamble, drink and cuddle. The next day, Mz. Berry and Ray J set soar on a yacht, went to dinner and then it looks like they went to the sheets.
Ray claims it was a tough choice but, I'm not sure I'm buying it. I think, he would have been a lot more torn if "Luscious" was in the mix. They had an attraction . I just do NOT believe in the romantic chemistry between him and "Platinum".I will say this, either Mz.Berry is a very good actress or this chick is really in love with Ray. I can see it in her eyes. Its kind of scary because, as he admitted, she comes across as a bit "needy" and "fragile". That combination is the perfect ingredient of a "STALKER"!!!!!

Though beautiful, smart and loyal, I still think Mz.Berry is too mature for him, the mommy of two(2) kids. She is ready for a husband and I just don't see "Brandy's little brother", down for that!

O But, I must not forget Ray J was involved with the former Mrs.Bobby Brown. So, I must admit there is no telling what he had to go through.

Well, I hope the third time is the charm. I really don't think we need to see a"For the Love of Ray J 3"!!!!!

B! Breaks Records..

2010-02-01T06:33:00.010-05:00

Beyoncé set a record for most the Grammys won by a female artist in a single night, at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

B!...walked away with 6 awards including; best song for “Single Ladies,”.... best R&B song,.... best contemporary R&B album....best traditional R&B vocal performance and best female pop vocal for Halo!

The noted winner of the evening was country singer Taylor Swift. Swift walked away with the "Album of the Year" award for "Fearless".

If you ask me, I'm not sure if she should have won, but I think we can thank Kanye West for that. Once he embarrassed her on the MTV awards last year, people came out in big numbers to support her.

It's hard to believe that teen bopper's cd beat both Beyonce's and Lady Gaga's.
Anyway, Swift received four(4) Grammys for the night.

Other winners included:
Lady Gaga won just (2)two
Black Eye Peas won (3)three
Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West won best rap collaboration: "Run This Town,"

Another stand event of the evening was the surpised appearance of the late Micheal Jackson kids,....Paris Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson accepting the "Lifetime Achievement" award for their dad.
It was amazing how much they've matured in such short time.
The crowd was also amazed to see a great 3-D mini-movie created for Micheal Jackson's "Earth Song", with a tribute performance featuring Smokey Robinson, Usher, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood.

Meantime,...."Word on the street",...the Jackson family is furious over the tribute because they were left in the dark. They claim, producers never let them know about the tribute and to shut them up,...the Jackson kids were added to the the lineup at the last minute.

Always some drama!!!!! Cant wait to see how this one plays out!!!!

MTV's ABDC is backkkk!

2010-01-29T12:40:00.009-05:00

Last night, the fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew kicked off.
The show received such an overwhelming response for auditions, MTV started off their season with the first of (3) three regional finals.

Five teams repping the South competed -- but there are only three spots open to move on in the competition, where 15 of the countries best dance crews will face off.
Last night's line up:

Jungle Boogie--
Ghost--Houston, TX
X-treme Motion---Houston, TX (HBCU Majorettes)
Swagger Crew---Atlanta, GA
Royal Flush--Atlanta, GA

After a final dance off the crews heading to face off in the nationals,...February 18th are:

By the way, was it just me or was Lil Mama a little off last night? Yes, and I'm blaming it on the "New" judge.....Singer Omarion.
She was giggling and smiling every time he looked at her, said a word to her,...ANYTHING! It was so funny. He is a cutie but, let's stay focused Lil Mama.

O YEAH!!!!!!....If you haven't heard Omarion is replacing Shane Sparks. Sparks was arrested back in December on a felony warrant and charged with eight counts of felony child molestation.

Officials say, two victims were involved and both were former dance students of his. The molestations began in 1993 and allegedly continued until 1997.

Sparks has worked with Brandy, Aaliyah, Monica and Lindsay Lohan and was nominated for an Emmy for his choreography on "So You Think You Can Dance."

The official national ABDC finals show is set for February 18th. Next up,...ABDC is heading to the East Coast!!!

Daily Gossip! A-Keys and Swizzy About to Tie the Knot?

2010-01-29T01:34:00.007-05:00

Alicia Keys and her boo producer Swizz Beatz making headlines again. After Alicia was spotted in Hawaii wearing a very large (engagement?) ring. But Alicia's people are saying the rumors are false.

Wonder what Swizzy's ex-wife Mashonda has to say about this? According to Mashonda, Alicia is the reason the couple spit.

Gimme the Money! R.C. De'Saundra

2010-01-28T11:53:00.005-05:00

They asked for and now they've got it!

The cast of MTV's New Jersey Shore demanded more money and it looks like the Network has agreed to it.

According to reports,....Mike"The Situation", Sammie"Sweetheart, Pauly D, Ronnie, Snooki and Vinny will now get $10,000 a episode. The first season the crew received $5000 an episode.

At the beginning of negotiation MTV was NOT having it and even had a new squad of New Jersey Shorers set up. I'm sure they slowly but surely realized,.." a new cast will NOT work".
So, they get the money. We the viewers only want to see the originals.

Congratulations on your victory,..GUYS!! We all know MTV has the MONEY!!!

Shhhhh..I'm a MTV'S Jersey Shore Fan

2010-01-25T12:54:00.007-05:00

Ok,... Ok,..I must admit.....I am a Jersery Shore Fan. There was NOT an episode I missed. Not quite sure what the addiction was but , I loved it.

Maybe it was the fighting, hooking up, the drinking and the partying! You know how people do things you would NEVER do but you don't mind watching them. Well, that's how I feel about the gang of self proclaimed,.."Guidos and Guidettes".

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end ,..last week the final episode aired and it was Drama as usual.
They partied, hooked up in the club,... in the infamous hot tub, fought and then made up.

Oh yeah, Ronnie was finally released from jail. He knocked a guy out (COLD) on the shore as they walked home from a night of partying and drinking at a nearby club.

As the show wrapped up,..after each cast mate departed ways,.. the Jersey Shore Reunion aired.

It was great to see Vinny, Mike, Ronnie, Sammie, Snookie, J-woww, Pauly D and even Angelina.
Although, she was only there a short time after being kicked out for being; a husband stealing,...bratty, lazy trouble maker.
The reunion started off by reminiscing about the millions of woman Mike and Pauly D attempted to hook up with the WHOLE summer!

Some crazy things were revealed,...Angelina and Mike"The Situation" hooked up. Pauly D still had a crush on Jenni"J-woww".

But ,..the most earth shattering turn of events, was the never before seen footage of Mike and Sammie confiding in each other behind her man Ronnie's back.
WOW!!!! You see Sammie first hooked up with Mike then left him for Ronnie and talked so much trash on Mike the whole show!

Needless to say,..she cried AGAIN and Ronnie spoke through emotions claiming it was over. He called her a lair and then claimed he was going to get laid after the show.

AND, Mike," the Situation" true to form, was loving it. You know its all about him and only him (in his head)!

Well, although this show received TONS of criticism from the Italian community it still managed to get millions of followers in a short period of time.

I understand MTV is looking to do another season but maybe with a different cast. I hate to tell you guys how to run your network but, IT WILL NEVER WORK.
This crew is the original and anyone else will be fake trying to up stage this fist pumpin crew.

Bobby Gets Fit!

2010-01-21T21:38:00.003-05:00

Oh My, Bobby Brown is back on TV! Say it ain't so. Whitney's former boo, is joining the new season of "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp." So he says he's clean and sober, I guess now we'll see if he can get fit and trim.

Another "famous" ex will also appear on the show; Kevin Federline. Good, have you seen pictures of him lately? Homeboy needs to lay off the pork rinds! The show premiers Monday February 8th on VH1.

Will it be Platinum or Mz.Berry ?

2010-01-19T12:12:00.013-05:00

Well, after weeks of looking for love Ray J is down to his final two. Platinum and Mz.Berry.
Last night, he narrowed it down to the last two after having the remaining ladies,.. Platinum, Luscious and Mz.Berry meet some important people in his life.

The first meeting included ...Brandy her daughter and his Aunt. From there the ladies, went home for a pool side party and to met the fellas which included Snoop Dog!

After Snoop left towards the end of the pool party his friends were obsessing with the fact that Luscious "Smashed the Hommie" meaning had sex with a friend of Ray J.
The loud crew started chatting,.." Luscious,..she "Smashed the Hommie".
Of courses, she over heard and was so upset by the whole ordeal she basically eliminated herself.

I'm not sure if quitting was the right thing to do but, I can understand Luscious' emotions. She felt that topic was something Ray and her dealt with and after being confronted by Brandy about it,.. then Snoop and and then the whole BOY Crew,...."It was enough!"
So now Ray is torn between two ladies. In my opinion, there will be another "For the Love of Ray J".
Neither girl is the right pick for him. Luscious and him,.."No Connection" ! Mz. Berry,...although they have a connection, she is too much of a woman for "Little ole Ray J". And being she has three kids, I'm not sure if he ready to be anybody's "Father Figure"!

Breaking News! Mo'Nique Gets the Globe!

2010-01-17T20:25:00.007-05:00

Mo'Nique has grabbed a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. The Actress/Comedian was nominated for her role in the movie "Precious".

She dedicated her win to all the victims of abuse everywhere. I thought her speech was very humbling and she seemed truly thankful. That's good news, after hearing about her skipping press junkets to promote the film.

Congrats to Mo'Nique on her win. It's always good to see someone like her in the business get an award like that. Up next the Oscar!

Idol with MJB!

2010-01-13T20:48:00.005-05:00

Day 2 of the American Idol auditions. In ATL with guest judge Mary J. Blige. People are crazy in the “A". Some of the ousted contestants cursed the judges out and cried like babies. I never understand those people who think they can sing and sound horrible.

So Mary was an o.k. judge. She didn't say much and she laughed at the horrible contestants, but she tried to do it on the down-low. She put her head down to contain her giggles she actually LaughedOutLoud. At times she was a little awkward. You can take the girl out the hood but…… All-in-all, Mary was a lot of fun.

Anyway, we have heard rumors that super singer/producer Babyface or hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs may be on tap to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol. I really feel like the producers would have to get a big name like Diddy, if they want the show to live on after Simon leaves.

2010-01-12T21:38:00.001-05:00

When I sat down to watch American Idol tonight, I said to myself “there’s no way that I’m going to watch 2 full hours of auditions”. But I did. The producers of this show suck you in with all the teasers. Every commercial break was like “up next, you won’t believe the unbelievable talent”. Then they show some log roller guy or girl with overalls on. So I’m like I gotta see this unbelievable talent. I’m a sucker!

So 1st round of auditions were very entertaining with yes, some unbelievable talent. The show was also full of laughs. It was like I was watching Comedy Central. From the first contestant that thought Kara was Paula, to the “Holla” guy that said Simon was “sassy” and the guy that Simon said dressed like LaToya Jackson! I actually LOL! The night also had some very serious moments; I do like how the producers show inside the lives of some of the contestants.

Kara cracks me up, when people sound really good she grooves, shaking her head like she’s all into their singing. But now, I’m excited to see Ellen and the contestants who make it on the show. So far so good. But sorry to say, it won’t be the same without Simon.

A Thumbs up For Pep!

2010-01-12T10:10:00.010-05:00

I must admit I was on the fence about Sandra "Pepa" Dentons' new VH1 "reality show", "Let's Talk About Pep".

But after watching the premier last night; I will say, it's a good show. It's refreshing to see VH1 do something other than those "Flavor of Love" type shows. It's also fun to see the interaction between Pep and her girls.

Here's VH1's rundown of the gal pals.

"Kittie. She's the wild child of the bunch. She loves a good party! Kittie has been known to look for love in all the wrong places, but she is willing and ready to find her man! Can the men of New York City handle Miss. Kittie?

Joumana. Recently divorced from NBA star Jason Kidd, this hot mama is now diving back into the scary dating pool--and prone to making the same errors in judgment (i.e., she has a weakness for bad boys) as in the past.

Jacque. TV journalist and personality. She's the most traditional of the bunch, fairly reserved, except when it comes to what she so desperately wants: good, high-quality sperm to quell her raging baby fever. "

And Speaking of Jacque, luv her! During their weekly brunch, the girls were dishing the dirt on their dating adventures. On Jacque's quest to find a baby-daddy she went out with her friend actor Lamman Rucker. (Lamman is also a good friend of the Reality Chicks)! Jacque basically asked Lamman if he would consider having a baby with her! I'm not really sure of the outcome of that convo--it wasn't too clear. But you know if Jacque gets knocked up, be sure to get all the details from Reality Chicks!

(Photo of Me-Allegra and Lamman in L.A)

So, I'll be watching the ladies and all their dating adventures. "Let's Talk About Pep"-Mondays
10:30/9:30c on VH1.

SIMON SAYS,..."I'M OUT!"

2010-01-12T07:49:00.004-05:00

What will become of American Idol?

Season nine of the star searching show starts tonight and Simon Cowell says it will be his last.

No word on exactly why he's leaving but according to reports Cowell maybe leaving because of "The X Factor," another singing competition he created. The show is quite successful, it's taken off in Britain and is set to debut—also on fox—in 2011.

Word on the street,...Fox executives fought hard for Smon. they offered him a great load of money to remain a judge but,.....he turned it down.

Now I know, Simon can be really annoying, but a lot of the times his criticism is right on point.
....So, who will deliver the same ,...sarcastic, rude and ego smashing comments with a big dose of a British accent? ....THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAY,...."NO ONE!!!!"
FIRST PAULA,.... NOW SIMON! I'M SORRY TO SAY BUT THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST SEASON AMERICAN IDOL WILL GRACE OUR TV SCREENS.

A show within a show? Yes, let's talk about Pep

2010-01-11T14:52:00.004-05:00

All right, what's up with Pepa's new show? Let's Talk About Pep, is a brand new show on VH1. According to VH1, its a real-life comedy that follows Sandra "Pepa" Denton of "Salt and Pepa". We're not sure what a "real-life" comedy is. But we think, it's most likely a reality show!

This is how VH1 describes it.

"as she emerges from several years of romantic and sexual dormancy, brought on by some seriously lousy relationships. Now she's ready again to search for love and action in the capital of hooking up, New York. She's joined by three friends also trying to negotiate the romantic minefield of NYC."

Just as we thought, a new reality show! Some are calling the show a "Black Sex and the City". As a super Sex and the City fan, I don't know there's only 1 SATC! But I will check out Pep and her crew.

BTW "Let's Talk About Pep" is based on a book by the same name. Ohhh, now that does sound familiar.

Here's a little sneak peek from VH1.

Gossip! Did Tyra leave show so she could get knocked up?

2010-01-11T14:22:00.012-05:00

Oh My, the Tyra gossip continues. We all know she "decided" to quit her hit talk show The Tyra Show. And according to Tyra she wants to pursue other opportunities. Well do some of these other opportunities have anything to do with becoming a Mommy?

According to The New York Post Tyra and her boo 52-year old John Uthendahl are looking for a new place with an extra room for a nursery! A source close to the couple say, one of the reasons Tyra walked away from her show is because she wants to start a family.

Well you go girl! Can you image Tyra as a Mommy? We love it! Can't wait to see what happens with this. Reality Chicks will be watching! Ha, how about America's Next Top Pregnant Model!

Are You Ready For American Idol?

2010-01-11T13:42:00.010-05:00

It's Baaaaack! American Idol is back for season 9! The two-hour season premiere airs tomorrow (Tuesday) night on FOX.

I don't know about you but every year De'Saundra and I vow never to watch the audition rounds. I mean I used to watch them but the contestants got so ridiculous it was almost painful. But I don't know, it seems like this go 'round might be different.

Now that Paula Abdul is out and Ellen DeGeneres is in, I'm sure that the audition round will be a lot of fun. Plus I wanna watch Simon Cowell's last season on Idol. Next year Simon will focus on bringing one of his UK shows to the USA.

So I'll be watching tomorrow night. But I admit, without Simon the show won't be the same and I may not be tuning in next season. Ok, I'll tune in next year if they bring Diddy or Babyface on to replace Simon.

Keyshia Cole already married? According to Frankie!

2010-01-08T14:11:00.004-05:00

We already know that R&B singer Keyshia Cole is preggo and she plans to get married to her boo, NBA baller Daniel Gibson. But according to her Momma, Frankie; Keyshia and Daniel are already married!

Frankie stopped by V-103's The Ryan Cameron show in ATL and spilled the beans (we think). Not really sure what she was talking about.

...AND THE WINNER IS.....EBONY JONES

2010-01-05T12:32:00.007-05:00

Ebony Jones, a high school algebra teacher from Dallas Texas is now an assistant to Diddy.

He and his devoted crew named Jones the winner on VH1's I Want Work for Diddy last night.

After a month long challenge, the 6'2 professional football/single mom beat 10 other aggressive contestant striving to be a part of the "Sean John" (Diddy) empire.On the finale, Jones and her second runner up Daniel Orrison, the 23 year old wine steward from Fredick Maryland were given the last BUT biggest dose of ego swallowing challenge. The two had report to Bad Boys and spend the entire day working with Diddy himself. He put them to the testing,..challenging their dedication, work ethic and their sense of humor.

Ebony Jones came out as the top applicant and is now apart of the "Bad Boy" team. "Congratulations!!!!!"....R.C believe it will be an adventurous, rewarding yet bumping Ride!!!!!

O My Goodness,..Martin Lawrence is BACK!!!

2010-01-05T11:32:00.006-05:00

Funny man Martin Lawrence is returning to weekly tv, BUT this time behind the scenes. Lawrence is producing a sitcom called, "Love That Girl!" for the cable network TV One.

It stars Tatyana Ali of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". She plays a young divorcee who returns home to Southern California and takes a job in her father's real estate business and lives with her unemployed brother.

Martin and his backers filmed only 4 episodes within 5 days with only a 1.2 million dollar budget,..all in hopes that the show will create enough buzz to be picked up by other networks.

New Details! Tyra CANCELLED?

2010-01-01T15:48:00.004-05:00

With all the name calling and allegations, this is playing out more like "The Jerry Springer Show" then "The Tyra Show"!

Insiders are saying that Tyra Banks just didn't decide to retirel her award-winning talk show "The Tyra Show" but the show was actually cancelled! Even Tyra's employees are speaking out, saying they didn't even know they were getting pink slips! And we have all heard the stories about Tyra being mean to her employees.

Insiders also say that Network officials decided to let the show go, because it was getting too expensive. Production cost were up ever since Tyra moved the show from Los Angeles to New York City and Tyra's salary was ridiculously high. For Tyra's sake let's hope the rumors aren't true!

Tyra Calling It Quits!

2009-12-28T13:45:00.002-05:00

Say it ain't so! Our favorite model turned television superstar has announced the end of her popular talk show.

After a 5 year run, Tyra Banks is ending her talk show "The Tyra Show". Tyra tells People Magazine, this will be the final season. Insiders say Tyra will now focus her attention on her new production company "Bankable Studios". "My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are," Banks said. Tyra has won two Daytime Emmy's for "The Tyra Show". We wonder if Tyra's announcement has anything to do with Oprah announcing she will end her talk show in 2011? It was always rumored that Tyra wants to be the "next" Oprah!

"Another Bun in the Oven!"

2009-12-28T10:04:00.006-05:00

If you were in doubt here's the proof....Yep.. Yep that's singer Keysha Cole and she is in deed pregnant. She was out and about for Christmas visiting her hometown of Oakland California and giving back to the community.

Cole and her basketball player boyfriend Daniel Gibson are expecting their bundle of joy in March 2010.

The two began dating earlier this year. Word on the streets,.."It's A Boy!"

Reality Chicks remembers actress Brittany Murphy

2009-12-20T19:34:00.002-05:00

We are so sad to report another tragic Hollywood death. 32 year old actress Brittany Murphy died early Sunday morning. Officials say the "Clueless" actress went into full cardiac arrest, after her husband Simon Monjack called 911. Brittany was pronounced dead upon arrival at a Los Angeles hospital.

There is no official word on what sparked the cardiac arrest but the buzz around the Internet is that, drugs may have been involved. Others say Brittany's death was related to her alleged anorexia.

Brittany has starred in a number of movies including (my favorite) Clueless, Uptown Girls, Just Married and 8 Mile.

Our fav guilty pleasure returns for season 2!

Ms. Bey's Parents Split?

2009-12-19T22:19:00.005-05:00

It's never a good thing to hear about a failed marriage and it's especially hard to hear about a marriage that failed after nearly 30 years. But it looks like that's what's going on in the home of Matthew and Tina Knowles (aka, Beyonce's Momma and Daddy).

So the buzz is, the two have filed for a divorce. No word on if the split has anything to do with Alexsandra Wright and her claims that Mattthew Knowles is her baby daddy. According to Tina the couple separated early in their marriage because she felt Matthew was going too hard with Beyonce's career.

Well if they can't get past this, we wish them both the best. Now we just have to wonder will Matthew stay on as Bey and Solange's manager?

2009-12-09T18:27:00.003-05:00

Even though Shaunie O'Neal is allegedly estranged from her baller husband Shaquille O'Nea;l looks like Shaunie will star in VH1's upcoming reality show "Basketball Wives".

According to VH1, the series will show the ups and downs of living the life of a "basketball wife". Along with Shaunie, Jennifer Williams (wife of Eric Williams) and Mesha O'Neal (wife of Jermaine O'Neal) will also be featured. The show is set to air March 15.

Now with all the Tiger Woods drama, wonder if VH1 will do a show on golfer wives?

For the Love Of Ray J Round 2 ! R.C De'Saundra

2009-11-03T07:46:00.020-05:00

Well, last night the second round of ladies fighting for the love of Ray J hit our televisions.

As usual they are, beautiful yet over the top, a little crazy looking for "fame" or should I say, the love of Ray J.

The R and B singer confessed the first time around "Cocktail" was the best pick from the household of women but NOT the best pick for his love.

Of course, all the ladies received nick names! Shortly after that, a little one on one time and then the eliminations started rather quickly.

Getting rid of the obsessed fan,...the gold digger AND the drunk.

If your worried about the drama, trust me from the remaining 16 it will continue.
......Let's meet the cast:

"Caliente" " Exotica"

"Extra" "Mz. Berry"

"Just Right" "Gifts"

"Luscious" "Lava"

"Flossy" "Adorable"

"Popper" "Heartbreaker"

"Trouble" "Paradise"

"Paradeez" "Jaguar"

Oscar buzz for Jackson film

2009-11-02T01:08:00.004-05:00

After breaking box office records, Michael Jackson’s concert film “This Is It” is generating some academy award buzz.

Movie insiders’ say the film could be nominated for best picture and Kenny Ortega could get a nom for best director. When “This Is It” was released last week, it made more than $7 million on its first day. The movie has made more than $20 million worldwide.

ANTM: Hatin on Nicole and can we tell will go home?

2009-10-14T20:36:00.006-04:00

I'm watching America's Next Top Model right now. It's about 20 minutes left in the show and I'm going to predict who's going home. Sundai. Only because she has been the main focus so far. She and Kara are both hating on Nicole. Not only did Nicole win the go-see challenge but she did wonderful on her photo challenge.

It seems to me in the past when the show focuses too much on one contestant, most likely that contestant is going home. So I'm going to wait and see but I think Sundai will be packing her bags, which is sad because I really like her.

Back to Nicole. Everyone is hating on her because she won the go-see challenge. The girl's think she is dry and has no personality. I would not agree at all. She may be a little dry but she has lots of personality. Also this whole "anti-social" thing she has going on, I think it just adds to her personality. How many times have we heard of super-stars that grew up shy and reserved? All of that really doesn't matter, because her photos have been beautiful and she knows what to do with her face. She seems more like a model then any other the other girls.

Oh look Jessica White is the guest judge this week. She was on the T.O show, dating him or something like that. Anyway Ms. Jessica has a lot to say (big mouth)! LOL.

Now the judges are deliberating, I still think Sundai is going home. (Good to see Fo is doing big things).

I think Kara and Sundai are going be in the bottom 2. Nicole got best photo. OMG this show is so predictable! Kara and Sundai are in the bottom 2!

WOW! WHAT! I was wrong. Sundai is staying, Kara is going home! Didn't get that one right. Sundai better bring it next week, or she's going home next!

BTW, what's up with that T-Pain sounding exit song. "Top Model, Top Model"

Kayne, a no-show at BET Hip Hop Awards!

2009-10-12T07:19:00.005-04:00

I guess you can label this under good and bad news! The good news, Kayne West was a no-show at the taping of the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta this weekend. The bad news, that means there was no Kayne drama! Oh I was waiting to see if he would pull another stunt like he did at the VMA's last month.

Also, BET officials aren't so happy he didn't show up. He was supposed to be there. I'm not sure if he was presenting or performing but he was slated to be at the show. Last month, Kayne did announce that he was taking some time away from show business. His craziness at the MTV Video Music Awards, plus his meltdown on Jay Leno after the incident probably had something to do with him not showing. And I'm sure, when the President of the United States called him a jacka@@ he was hurt!

You can catch this years' BET Hip Hop Awards when it airs Tues. Oct 27th on BET. Hosted by Mike Epps I'm sure it's going be a pretty good show---even without a crazy Kayne outburst!

Daddy Knowles...Are you the Father?

2009-10-05T13:12:00.007-04:00

Well, now the stuff has hit the fan and BOY does it stink.

Reality Chicks just got word that Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles will be giving up some DNA.

Sources say, Actress Alexsandra Wright is six months pregnant by .......YEPP Beyonce's Dad!!!

38 year old Wright, filed a paternity case against 58 year-old Knowles, with the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Wright claims, she’s not just saying he’s the baby’s daddy, she wants the court to prove it, and she’s not waiting until after the baby is born, either!

Beyonce's parents Matthew and Tina Knowles have been married since 1980 but the two were rumored to estranged.

Can't wait to see how this unfolds. But we all know the Knowles are MASTERS OF SPIN AND DAMAGE CONTROL!
So, I'm sure Matthew, Solange and Tina will get the last word! B! will stay out of the spotlight on this one!!!

"We told you",.."We told you",..."We told you"! Baby on board by R.C

2009-10-05T10:56:00.012-04:00

Two months ago, R.C's Allegra posted some suspicions that Singer/Actress Christina Milian was "PREGGERS".
This after some (CHUBBY) pictures of her hit the internet, and even a recent appearance on BET's 106 and Park where she appeared to be a bit bloated. AND so,..we thought ,.."IS she Knocked UP?"

Well, now Christina is finally admitting it. She's going to have a baby.

Milian told People magazine she and new husband (songwriter and producer" The Dream are also going to be new parents soon.
The two were married less than a month ago in Las Vegas in a small and simple ceremony.
Christina rented a gown for $200, and The-Dream rented a $100 tuxedo suit.
Can you say,.."SHOT GUN!!!" Hope this is for real and not a publicity stunt!

Milian also says,... she is four and a half months pregnant and knows the sex of the child, but wants to keep it a secret.

By the way, I must admit I'm still getting use to those two as a couple. Remembering Christina's past relationships with Mariah Carey's hubby Nick Cannon and producer Andre “Dre” Christopher Lyon,..I Do Not see the attraction between the two!

Trust me, I am NOT hating! I'm just a little surprised! BUT, I will adjust to the new parents to be Mr and Mrs. Dream.

Reality Chicks are always on the case. Go Allegra,..girl!

More details in death of Khandi Burruss' ex-fiancee

2009-10-05T07:57:00.006-04:00

Following up on the previous report by R.C's Allegra on the tragic death of Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Khandi Burruss’s ex-fiancee Ashley "A.J" Jewell.

A suspect in now behind bars. According to investigators, Fredrick Richardson was charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of "A.J" Jewel.

It was originally reported, Jewel died Saturday morning, from multiple stab wounds but now investigators say he was NOT stabbed. He died from massive head injuries following a fight in the parking lot of Atlanta strip club,.."Body Tap Club".
Khandi says, she spoke to A.J. two hours before the incident and says she,``never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice.''

To add to Khandi's tragedy, the day after she found out her ex-fiance was killed, she was attending the funeral of an uncle.

A a message on her Twitter account says,.."she doesn't want to be held and told it's going to be OK, but wants to cry herself to sleep alone".

Reality Chicks sends much blessings and prayer to both families and friends of Burruss and Jewell.

Tragedy Hits "Real Housewives" Star. By R.C. Allegra

2009-10-04T11:05:00.005-04:00

When I first heard that Khandi's ex-fiancee, Ashley "AJ" Jewell was killed outside of an Atlanta strip club this weekend, I couldn't believe it! Khandi has got to be going through right now. The couple just called it quits about 2 months ago and Khandi is raising 2 of AJ's six kids.

At first Khandi had to grow on me as the newest edition of Bravos' Real Housewives of Atlanta. But soon Khandi became one of my favorites. I agree with Wendy Williams who made a comment about Khandi (on the Wendy Williams Show.) Wendy said Khandi was too "highbrow" for a "lowbrow" show like "Real Housewives." Although I wouldn't go as far as to say the show is lowbrow, but I do think Khandi is in a class of her own on the show. She is the only "housewife" that actually can stand on her own without the show. I mean she is an award winning recording artist, writer and producer.

As sad as it is we all know Khandi will get through this as well. Even though this season of "Real Housewives" was already taped, I wonder if the producers will address AJ's death. I'm sure all the ladies will be making their rounds in the talk show circuits to talk about Khandi and AJ. I've also heard that Khandi's new album may be delayed.

Our deepest condolences go out to Khandi and AJ's family, who suffered another tragedy earlier in the "Real Housewives" season. We all remember the alter-ego photo shoot. Khandi changed her alter-ego to a drunk driver and victim, after one of AJ's relatives was hit by a drunk driver.

ANTM,.."So Long Bianca." by R.C De'Saundra

2009-10-01T09:01:00.008-04:00

Last night's decision was long overdue. The judges decided that Bianca does NOT have what it takes to become America's Next Top Model.

I think Bianca was having a hard time producing a beautiful picture. Although a beautiful girl, her biggest challenge was learning to work with her face. All the drama she went through at the beginning of the season was a waste of time. She should have been focusing more on producing a soft pleasant face. But we all live and learn.
This week's challenge was one of my favorites. I love when the model wannabees have to take on "beauty shots". You can really see how pretty the women are,..with little or no makeup. The ladies wore scarves wrapped around their head which highlighted their pretty faces.

Tyra was this week's guest photographer and decided to tried a little different spin. She picked a winner at the end of the photo shoot instead of at panel.The winner was also given immunity from elimination. Her pick was Brittany. My pick of course, was a little different. I would have chosen either Laura, Sundai or Rae. Brittany's picture was pretty but just didn't "Wow" me.

As of now, I don't really have a favorite. The one that was closest to my favorite was Courtney and she was voted off two weeks ago.

But, I do know my least favorites Erin and Ashley. Erin,...not the best attitude. She was so unnecessarily aggressive in their Cover Girl challenge and I am not a big fan of her look.

As far as Ashley, she is a bore and disappointing. She is very pretty but, her pictures are just ok. I would think if your picked out in the audience at Tyra's talk Show then you would work extra hard at EVERYTHING! As they say,.."Go Hard OR Go Home!"

The Hills.."The Bitch is BACKKKKK!"

2009-09-30T10:51:00.001-04:00

Last night was all about the start of Mtv's "The Hills"! As you can remember Lauren Conrad is out and now enters the man magnet,..drama following,...raw Kristin Cavallari.

....And WOW,..what a way to enter the scene!

As the old crew gets together to meet and greet the newlyweds Heidi and Spencer,.... the drama takes off.

Well, Justin (Audrina's off and on again EX-BOO) and Kristin got a little cozy and boy oh boy was Audrina pissed.
Stephanie decided to approach both Justin and Kristin protecting Audrina's feelings and then....... here comes the FIREWORKS!!!!

It turned into a complete screaming match between Stephanie, Audrina and Kristin. "Bitch this! ......"Shut the F*#K up,.. that!" Ending with Kristin saying,.."You just f*#@ked yourself,...Your f*#@ked with the wrong girl,..dude!"

I think they've given that chick too much power ALREADY! Besides the drama that she is used to, they are NOT ready for! She will chew them up and spit them OUT!
Not to mention that definitely makes her more appealing to the opposite sex including JUSTIN!!!!!

At the next gathering Audrina decides to skip the event as the crew celebrates Brody's boy Frankie's b-day. It was a good thing too because that's where the magic happened between Justin and Kristin. The two decided to go on a dinner date. Audrina's crew Stephanie and Lo were there but decided to leave early, annoyed with the evident flirting.
..And of course, the two delivered the blow by blow details of the two flirting to Audrina and she was CRUSHED!!!

Ok,..Spencer here we go! Well, Heidi you married him! Can't wait for the rest of scripted season!!!!

Mtv's ABDC, "....And the winner is We Are Heroes!"

2009-09-28T07:28:00.010-04:00

Congratulation "We Are Heroes"!

The first all female crew to take the title as America's Best Dance Crew .
The female hip hop dancers,...Hiroka, Riquel, Mami, Ali and Nichelle beat out 9 other dance crews."We Are Heroes", the last crew standing had to battled it out in the finale with the Latin, sexy and sizzling dance crew "AfroBorike".

It was a tough battle but, to me it was clear. During the season AfroBorike had some bad performances that I really thought should have sent them home, but We Are Heroes' performances have either been good or great,...NEVER BAD! So, the title was well deserved.

I must admit one of my favorite moments of the night was the collaboration of ; Beat Ya Feet Kings, Massive Monkees and Southern Movement.

What a great performance to a remix of Lil Jon and Swizzbeats.."I do"! It was filled with smooth moves,..hard hitting moves and awesome tricks and flips!

Yep, Khloe is getting married to her newly found boyfriend NBA Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom.

According to reports, the two have been dating for only one month and will be married this weekend in Los Angeles.
The ceremony is set to be a packed house with over two hundred invited, including teammates, managers and friends.

The couple was caught ring shopping last week and reportedly Khloe found one.

It's believed to be bigger than Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa's stunning 8-carat purple diamond ring worth about $4 million.
OK,...KHLOE! By the way, Lamar just signed a four-year deal worth up to $33 million to stay with the Lakers....JACKPOT!!!!!!

However, there are reports that a prenuptial agreement between the two is in the works.

America's Best Dance Crew....."DOWN TO THE FINAL TWO!" by R.C De'Saundra

2009-09-21T09:39:00.009-04:00

AfroBorike' AND We Are Heroes will face off battling to become,.AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW!

During last night's show the remaining three crews had to incorporate their own dance moves with dance grooves over the last couple of years.
....From the b-boy rock of the 80's to the pop groove of Paul Abdul to Ushers' smooth moves in the early 90's,...James Brown quick smooth foot work,... and up until now the Lady GAGA.

The challengee got the best of Massive Monkees and they were sent packing. I happy about that decision. It was between them and We Are Heroes. To me, We R Heroes had the best routine.

It's also nice to see this year played out a bit different. For the first time a girl will be apart of a winning team and neither crew is strictly B-boys or B-girls.

I'm still cheering for my girls so,...Let's GO.."We Are Heroes"!

We told you so! Christina Milian Preggo!!!!

2009-09-13T00:58:00.004-04:00

OK, a few weeks ago after watching Christina Milian on 106 & Park; I blogged that I thought Ms. Chris was pregnant. She actually had on maternity gear! Well now, (weeks after Reality Chicks) Christina's alleged pregnancy is being revealed! We told you so!

Anyway congrats to Christina and The Dream, they tied the knot this week, in what some call a tacky Los Vegas wedding. (They got married at a little wedding chapel and rented both rented their wedding gear for less then $400.00.) Hey I always say the wedding is not as important as the marriage. So, I do wish them well and their baby is going to be adorable. But Reality Chicks said it first! LOL

Halle Berry, Halle Berry! Ready for Another Baby!

2009-09-02T08:00:00.008-04:00

Say it ain't so! Halle Berry back for round 2? According to Life and Style Weekly, the 43 year old Oscar winner is 3 months pregnant with her second child.

Halle and her gorgeous model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry welcomed daughter Nahla in 2007. Even back then, I remember reading in some magazine that Halle said she wanted at least one more baby. Well, looks like she's going get her wish.

There's also a rumor going around that Halle used artificial insemination to get preggers this time around. I don't know how true that is but----- if you recall Halle had some problems getting pregnant the first time.

How ever she got knocked up I'm sure the baby is going to be beautiful! So congratulations to Halle and Gabriel and we all can't wait to see baby #2!

Halle with baby #1

Kourtney & Khloe Take on Miami,..."Hook it up and Get your Drunk ON!"

2009-08-31T06:41:00.010-04:00

This week Khloe sets her eyes on hooking her "big,... little" sister Kourtney up with a man.

If you remember last week Kourtney was entertaining the crush of a women in her art class. How can we forget that KISS?!!!
Anyway,..at the end of the season on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" Kourtney decided to call it quits. She broke up with her boyfriend Scott, who she dated for 2 years. I often wondered what he did for a living. I mean does he have a job?

Now, in Miami Khloe decides Kourt's dating game is off and she needs a little push. So, Khloe take advantage of her airwaves and sets up a dating competition on her radio show,.."Khloe after Dark". She invited random men to line up at their D-A-S-H clothing store and compete for a date. Kourtney was PISSSED but gave up and gave in!!

The ladies decided on a very handsome Italian man. He was gorgeous but I think Khloe should have dated him. She was much more excited about him and much more attracted to him.

Well Kourt's date turned out to be a "Blah..Bore". The two barely spoke the whole night and She was back home in an hour . The gorgeous guy was a little too shy for a blind date. The only thing that Khloe did was make her sister miss her ex. Kourtney says,.."She misses Scott and is thinking of giving him a call.

Another HIGHLIGHT of the evening, was the ..."OOOO so drunk Kim!" Kim showed up in Miami for a big photo shoot. She then buckled to peer pressure. Her sister often call her a party pooper or a bored because she will not drink with them.

Well,..the always calm, cool and collected Kim decided to prove them wrong. While out enjoying the town with her sisters she had wine,... champagne,...white liquor,..brown liquor! You name she drank it. As a NON drinker myself, I know you can NOT mix liquor it will bite you in the butt!
Needless, after being carried out of the club and into their apartment, Kim posted a spot right at the foot of the toilet. Throwing up all night long.
It was nice to see her let her hair down,...dance on the bar and scream and shout but,...never do that again Kim. They indeed got the best of you!! LOL!!!

America's Best Dance Crew....."Beat Ya Feet Kings Exits" by R.C De'Saundra

2009-08-31T05:03:00.007-04:00

Although I'm satisfied with the ending results, I'm not happy about the way the voting played out.
Last night, the show lost the Washington D.C fast stepping crew,.."Beat Ya Feet Kings". They were in the bottom spot with MY favorite crew "We are Heroes".

I completely disagree!!! Honestly if they were voted off I may have decided to protest and never watch ABDC for the rest of the season. Luckily their moves won over the judges and the crowd and they remain on the show. Let's hope this mistake never happens again. At least until a few other crews hit that bottom spot!

The crew to land in the top spot this week was "Massive Monkees". They were really good last night. They did a great job at their task,..combining a form of "bollywood" style dancing with their B-boy swagger.

As for the rest of the line up,.."I WAS NOT HAPPY"!!! I can't believe the second crew with the most votes was,.."Vogue Evolution"! They surprising to me beat out, "Rhythm City". I'm sorry but, I think they are a mess. Their style of dance is frantic! Don't get me wrong they are very entertaining and have that "WOW" factor but,...that's it!

After last week's show,.. I think the bottom 3 crews should have been,.. "Afroborike, "Vogue Evolution" and "Beat Ya Feet Kings"!

Well America, Let's get the results correct this week.
Top 3 crews...
1.Massive Monkees
2. Rhythm City
3. We Are Heroes or Afroborike

Project Runway and Real Houswives of ATL. Can Thursday's get any better? By R.C Allegra

2009-08-28T00:55:00.007-04:00

Where should I start? I watched Project Runway at 9pm and now I'm watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I will say for the second week in a row, Runway did not disappoint. This week the contestant had to design a maternity outfit for supermodel/actress Rebecca Romijn. So they did their sketches and then started their designs. The contestants were really nice to each other. It seems like when Runway was on Bravo, the designers were more catty! But on Lifetime they are much nicer; givin each other complements and even when they did put someone down, they did it in a nice way---like when Mitchell told Ra'mon-Lawrence that his dress looked like a bowling ball (it really did) Mit finished up his dis with saying something like "but I'm sure it's going to be cute".

Also, I think the "pregnancy bellies" that the models had to wear were not that realistic. It made those little ladies look like they were about to fall over! Anyway for the second week in a row, Mitchell was in the bottom 2. In the end, Malvin was the one to go home. His mother-hen outfit was very bizarre but it was better then Mitchell's badly made shorts and tee-shirt.

Next, The Real Housewives of Atlanta! Where in the world did NeNe come from! Homegirl is toooo much! Here are just a few of her most memorable quotes from the show.

"I know Lisa's Asian and Black, but I didn't expect to see so many Asian people".
"Can you speak their language?"

Is she for-real? Anyway NeNe and Lisa traveled to L.A to visit Lisa's family (those are where the quotes are from). Some very emotional scenes with Lisa and her family and how she dealt with going to her brother's grave site. But why did Lisa take NeNe with her? NeNe was so surprised at the way Lisa's parents looked. (I thought her Dad was so cute and her Mom is such a little lady). Anyway Lisa and NeNe shopped and relaxed and had drinks with the gayest man ever!

Back in the ATL Kim and Kandi were "bonding"? Kim is so funny but at the same time it's a little sad, because she isn't an 18 year old girl. Kim is a grown woman with teenage problems and she acts like a young girl and not a grown woman. Anyway----Kim is getting along great with Kandi I guess because they are both Taurus. Kandi was kind of playing her thru-out the show, but silly Kim didn't even realize it. By they way Kandi can sing!

Poor Sheree and those ghetto models! LOL! Sheree is getting ready for a big fashion show and her event planners are a like "whatever". They acted like they didn't even want to get her transportation to the fashion show and it's her designs that are being showcased!

Next week's Housewives looks like a pretty good show. NeNe directs the ladies in a photo shoot and looks like Kandi will go thru something big and the ladies support her.

So Thursday is officially Fun, Fabulous Must-see TV!

America's "Dream" Girl, Knocked Up? By R.C Allegra

2009-08-24T20:57:00.004-04:00

Did anybody else check out 106 & Park today? Christian Milian was on promoting her new Bring it On DVD. She also talked about her engagement to The-Dream; she mentioned how they were getting a new house together and she was excited about fixing up the rooms. I'm just wondering, are one of those rooms going to be a nursery?

OMGoodness, home girl is sooooo pregnant! (I wish I could find some pics of her on the show today). Not only did she have on some black leggins, a long shirt dress and a super tight jacket (screams maternity outfit) but her nose was so wide; her cut little face was all round! I am sure the cat will be out of the bag in a few weeks!

Congrats to Miss Chris and The Dream, I'll be sooooo surprised if she's not knocked up!

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami..."Dumb and Dumber"! by R.C De'Saundra

2009-08-24T07:42:00.012-04:00

Can we say,.."DUMB,.... DUMB,... DUMB!"?

What's on the mind of both of these Kardashian chicks? More importantly,.."What the HELL is on Khloe's mind!"?

Last night,...Khloe's radio show was almost put on ice.
Ok, earlier in the week, one of the Kardashians' D-A-S-H girls discovered a vial of cocaine in one of their clothing store's dressing room.Khloe throw it in her purse afraid a customer would find out. That was smart.
Well, then she goes on her radio show,.."Khloe After Dark" on Y100 in Miami and talk about the number of times she's been approached about cocaine. That's fine! BUT then she pulls the vial out of her purse and pretends to sniff it. Her producer goes CRAZY!!!!!!

This is one of those times when her immaturity is so apparent. Not only did she put her job in jeopardy but the station too. Her producer informed her drugs on the premises is a crime, her show could be canceled, she could be fired, he could be fired and the station could be investigated and shut down.

"O My Gosh,..I feel so bad", says Khloe. She goes on to say,.."I didn't realize how big of a deal this is was"! "He told me to talk about my real life HONESTLY!"

My question is why would she want her name associated with drugs or alcohol after being arrested for DUI. Let's keep the slate clean.

Needless to say, she was forced to take a drug test. Once the result came back clean she and her radio show were back on air.

What a Lucky FOOL!!! Just suspended for a few days and that's it. That's LUCK!

Now,.. on to little miss Kourtney. She decided to switch teams just for fun.
Kourtney arrives to her first day of art class and finds a nude older man standing there. She of course, had to sketch him. She laughed the whole time claiming the man had really "BIG BALLS"! Too Much Information,...RIGHT? Anyway, I had to say it.

Well, during her laughter she meets a classmate and they hit it off. They go to lunch, where the girl confesses she dates women. That's no big deal to me as long as you know I'm not like that.

So their friendship continues,...she invites Kourtney and Khloe out to a new club. The club turns out to be a gay club. She then starts flirting with Kourtney. Now Kourtney did confess to her, she's kissed girls in college just for fun.
The next time the ladies go out Kourtney and her new friend share a passionate kiss! Over the next few days, she sends Kourtney sexy, seductive text messages about the kiss.

All of the sudden Kourtney felt bad and decides to ignore all of her phone calls and text messages.

Oh,...What A MISTAKE!!!! The two finally got together and cleared the air.

That was so silly. She is lucky too . The whole thing could have turned out very ugly. What's if the girl was a psycho? It's not cool to play with any one's emotions. I'm glad the two will remain friends.

America's Best Dance Crew....."Southern Movement Out" by R.C De'Saundra

2009-08-24T06:34:00.011-04:00

This week was not a great week. The challenge was to incorporate different forms of martial art into their dance routine. I think this task got the best of all the crews.

Landing in the bottom two spots this week,... were Rhythm City and Southern Movement. After a hardcore and high energy battle the judges saved Rhythm City,..sending Southern Movement packing.
I was hoping for Rhythm City. They had a great performance,..Matter of fact, the Best of the night!

After fighting for their lives last week, AfroBorike was the top crew this week, receiving the most viewers votes. But their routine was so boring and just not top crew worthy.
This year, I feel like the crews are doing tons of moves and tricks but its scattered brained,..nothing flows from one sequence to the next. It looks like chaos.
......Southern Movement, AfroBorike, Beat Your Feet Kings and MOSTLY Vogue Evolution are all victims of chaotic routines!
I know, ABDC producers are excited about having an open all gay crew but, the fascination for me wore off a while ago. Every time they hit the stage its just run over here,...kick here,...jump here and vogue and fall. I would much rather see Artistry in Motion who were kicked off last week.

After last night's performances my top 3 crews are:
1. Rhythm City
2. We are Heroes
3. Massive Monkees

Diddy's Starmaker. Making Stars or Making Diddy?

2009-08-23T23:07:00.017-04:00

Again, I will start this post about Diddy's new show with a disclaimer.

I do like Diddy, I really do! But I can't help to think; is the show really about making stars or making Diddy's name bigger? What sealed the deal for me, is when Diddy told the contestants; (not a direct quote) yall better be good, because its my name up there. But he did say that the contestants wouldn't see him for about 3 weeks. I don't know why he said that because I was flipping back and forth from Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami.

Anyway, tonight it was all about the ladies. The first half hour was all about the the contestants practicing and living in the house, while the second half the girls performed. I like that about the show. It separates it from American Idol, and the audience gets a chance to really know the contestants.

So up first was Monet. Last week she left me wondering why she was even in the show---but this week, she kicked it up like 500 notches! The judges even said she had the best performance.

Another contestant that I enjoyed was Liz, the country girl. She did Madonna's "Material Girl" and she was very good. I think she's one to watch out for.

One performance the judges loved, but I wasn't so keen on was Melody, she's the black rocker girl. She performed a Kelly Clarkson song and changed up the melody. The judges thought it was good, I think her voice sounds like she is singing thru her nose.

But all-in-all I think it was a good show. Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Marissa was the one to go home. Last week, she was the front runner, this week she sucked!

Next week, its the guys turn. I will check it out, but I don't know how many more episodes I'll watch.

All Star Challenge and New Project Runway and Models of the Runway! Oh My! By R.C Allegra

2009-08-20T22:39:00.010-04:00

Alright, I missed like the first 5 minutes of Project Runway because I had to take Miss Sohpie (my 1 year old Puggle) for a walk. So Anyway before Runway, Lifetime aired a 2 hour All Star Designer Challenge---they brought back some of the favorites from the past 5 seasons. My girl Korto (from season 5) represented---but again she made out as the number 2 girl, losing to Daniel Vosovic (season 2). Check out the message boards on lifetime---folks are upset that she lost. Clearly her designs were better.

OK, now to the main attraction. Like I said I missed the first 5 minutes or so----but I'm so excited about this new season! I know De'Saundra said she was on the fence about what to watch, Runway or The Real Housewives of Atlanta. But for me the choice was clear--I can see thoes spoiled housewives at mid-night! (Just kinding---I'm switchig back and forth from Lifetime and Bravo). Anyway, I think the people over at Lifetime did a good job with moving the show. In my last post I think I mentioned that this season the gang is in L.A instead of New York.

So anyway, 16 new designers, 16 crazy people. My favorites so far are:

Christopher-the challenge winner this week.

Ra'mon-Lawrence-who in my opinion was the runner-up, even though his design was super-duper safe.

And I think that I'm going to like Epperson.

Ari was voted off this week. Her design was very weird, I don't even think Erykah Badu or Andre 3000 would wear it.

Right now I'm watching Models of the Runway. It's like the post show to Runway. Behind the scenes with the Runway Models. It kind of feels a little like a boot-leg Top Model (but with professional models). Also, you get to see the designers pick and choose their models for next week. It's kind of cool---But I don't know how far into the season I'll watch.

BTW---I want to be a designer so I can wear crazy clothes and call them Avant-garde and couture! It will be good to wear a pink smoking jacket and some leggings to the grocery store!

But I can't wait for next week's Runway!

Project Runway is Baacckkk! And it has a new home! By R.C Allegra

2009-08-19T23:18:00.004-04:00

I can hardly contain myself! A new season of Project Runway premieres tomorrow!

But instead of airing on Bravo (Project Runway's home for 5 seasons) network officials and the Project Runway bigwigs decided to move the hit show to Lifetime. The new network isn't the only change for Runway; the entire show is getting a makeover! For 5 seasons the designer have sewed and pinned their fashions in the Big Apple, but this season moves Heidi, Tim and the contestants to Hollywood.

At first I didn't think that Lifetime could handle Project Runway. I mean Runway is an edgy, hip show; it fit so well with Bravo's lineup (ie: Real Housewives, Make me a Supermodel etc.). When I use to think of Lifetime, I would think about re-runs, all my favorite shows from the 80's and 90's. But I have to say, Lifetime has really stepped up! The network has revamped itself with fun new series like "Drop Dead Diva". So I'm excited about what Lifetime is going to do with one of my very favorite reality shows!!!!!

So make sure you tune into Project Runway on Lifetime. Thursday @10pm EST.

"Project Runway" and "Models of the Runway" Premiere Aug 20! myLifetime.com

MTV's America's Best Dance Crew..."A Beyonce Challenge" by R.C De'Saundra

2009-08-17T08:09:00.001-04:00

This Sunday,..new season, new day and new time,.."MTV's America's Best Dance Crew" second show in the bag.

After watching, it becoming clear to me that ABDC is trying to go in a new direction this 4th season.
Each crew brings a little something different. The majority of the dancers are a bit more diverse. Not strictly B-Boy style.

Last week, after watching the first episode, I wasn't disappointed but, I didn't get that thrill or that "...they were "Great " thing I normally get.

But this week......that "thing" came over me once...When "We Are Heroes" hit the stage.The all female hip-hop group did a great job with their "Beyonce" challenge. They performed to "Single Ladies" and it was so creative. I think they will sit on the top spot next week too. It was a little "Be" but a lot "We Are Heroes". That's exactly what I liked,..they did NOT just re-do her video, they added their on spin. So far, my favorite group by far!!!

"Artistry in Motion" did not win the vote of the viewers or the judges. They were in the bottom with "AfroBoriké" the first Latin crew to hit the ABDC stage.

Once the battle was over I knew "Artistry in Motion" did NOT beat out the spice and fire of "AfroBoriké". Although, they were given the best Beyonce song,"Diva", the challenge for all ladies of "Artistry in Motion" to be connected to a chain at the same time eliminated them. It was definitely sad to see them go.

By the way, Donyelle Jones creator and member of "Artistry In Motion' was among the final four contestants on "So You Think You Can Dance". She was battling the same fight,...giving women of all shapes and sizes equal opportunities in the world of dance.

I know some folks will want to slap me for the next thing I'm gonna say,...BUT.....I AM NOT FEELING "Vogue Evolution". They made the cut last week, which I didn't agree with and this week after America casted their votes, they were among the top 5 . The judges gave them rave reviews for energy and dance but, I think they are just all over the place with only 1 or 2 technically dancer.

.."Vogue Evolution" is the first openly gay dance crew to ever compete on "America's Best Dance Crew". 5 men....I'm sorry 4 men and 1 trans gender!But I know producers are going for something different and......THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID!

My top 3 three crews:

Diddy's Starmaker.....American Idol Diddy Style? By R.C Allegra

2009-08-16T22:47:00.004-04:00

Before I start this post, I just wanna say; I respect Diddy as an artist and businessman. I honestly think that anything he touches will be a hit. But I'm a little on the fence with the first episode of his new American Idol like reality show, P. Diddy's Starmaker.

The concept is good but I have to wonder is it all about finding the new "breakout star" or is it about Diddy getting another "notch" in his reality show belt.

My girl Kimberly Caldwell, who was a contestant on the second season of American idol; is the host. Judges: Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Music Exec, Tamara Conniff, and Diddy's "Frenemy" Laurieann Gibson.

It' like American Idol, because they have a big dude like Ruben Studdard, and they have the country girl like Kellie Pickler.

"So You Thin You Can Dance".....Congrats Jeanine! by R.C De'Saundra

In case you missed it last week "So You Think You Can Dance", crowned the winner.
After record breaking viewer votes of 9.33 million,...Jeanine Mason was named America's favorite dancer"!

.... The judges favorite Kayla was knocked out first. The next to go Evan....(Thank goodness)! Sorry Evan but, I think you should have been dismissed 2 or 3 shows ago.

Then it was down to the final two Brandon and Jeanine. At that point, I would have been pleased with either choice. But, deep down inside I was slightly cheering for Brandon.

Anyway, much congratulation to Jeanine and Brandon for being the last dancers standing.

A GROUND BREAKING ICONIC FIGURE IN THE FASHION WORLD HAS PASSED AWAY By R.C Allegra

2009-08-05T14:33:00.005-04:00

Before, Naomi Campbell or Tyra Banks, there was Naomi Sims.

Considered as the first African American supermodel, Sims broke ground on and off the runway. She was the first African-American model to make the cover of a major mainstream publication, when she graced the cover of Ladies Home Journal; back in 1968.

After retiring from the catwalk, Sims started her own line of wigs for African Americans. She also published several self-help books for models and Black women.

Over the weekend, Sims died at the age of 61, after a long battle with cancer.

She will be missed!
