Save the cheerleader…save the camel toe! Booty! Booty! Booty! Booty! Rockin’ Errywhere! Memba’ Jade from ANTM?…Yea this bish is still crazy.
Am I the only one who’s upset by the sight of her? There’s something about Lil’ Mama that makes me want to become a cutter. Is that weird?
Can someone please take a look at D-Wood’s hobbit feet?!?! Croiky! I gotta respect Lauren Bacall for bein’ a million years old and still settin’ the titty balls free. I’m kinda feelin’ like this new Biggie biopic is gonna be like a BET arabesque film. Usher, his man-bride, and all HER chilluns.

Video of the Day

Published by justlo under Video of the Day Edit This

So this morning I was on the train and Downtown by SWV popped up in my shuffle. And I said to myself “Self, that should be your video of the day. But when I got to work I thought that maybe I should put a few more songs from 90s R&B girl groups up. And that my friends turned into the mega post you’re looking at right now. I tried to include as many as I could find…even the really obscure ones. I think I got almost everybody.

TLC, Brownstone, 702 and Xscape vids on YouTube had the embedding disabled so you’ll have to check out the videos there.

Oh, and one more thing. Does anyone remember that girl group whose 4 members all had really short haircuts? They had one, maybe two songs. Hit me up if you remember the name of the group. Graci!

“Hold On”-En Vogue

“Downtown”-SWV

“Don’t Walk Away”-Jade


“He’s Mine”-Mokenstef

“Stroke You Up”-Changing Faces

“No, No, No”-Destiny’s Child

“I Like”-Kut Klose

“Can’t You See?”-Total

“Groove Thang”-Zhane

“Head Over Heals”-Allure

“Lately”-Divine

“90s Girl”-Blackgirl

“Love of Mine”-Earth Gyrlz

“Froggystyle”-Nuttin’ Nyce

King Kong Ain’t Got Nothin’ On Me!!!

I’ve been debating on whether or not to post on this story but I can’t seem to avoid it so here goes. The latest Vogue magazine cover features basketball player LeBron James and model Gisele Bundchen and has been receiving a lot of criticism for its uncanny resemblance to King Kong imagery.
James told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer he was pleased with the cover, saying he was “just showing a little emotion. Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way. Who cares what anyone says?”
In a column at ESPN.com, Jemele Hill called the cover “memorable for all the wrong reasons.” But she said in an interview that the image is not unusual - white athletes are generally portrayed smiling or laughing, while black sports figures are given a “beastly sort of vibe.”
For example, former NBA star Charles Barkley was depicted breaking free of neck and wrist shackles on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Dennis Rodman graced the cover of Rolling Stone with horns poking out of his forehead and his red tongue hanging out.
Images of black male athletes as aggressive and threatening “reinforce the criminalization of black men,” said Damion Thomas, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at University of Maryland.

This isn’t the first time that black male athlete have worked to solidify stereotypes of themselves.
I understand why people are disturbed by this cover. Yet again we’re seeing black men portrayed as aggressive animals. But lest we forget that our dear Labron let himself be portrayed this way. He has to take responsibility for being a part of the problem. Sadly, I don’t think he gets it. If we’re not educated ourselves about the effects of harmful images and stereotypes then how can we expect to change anyone else’s mind? Maybe that’s where we should start.
Ok, can someone please hand me a step stool or something. Standing on this soapbox is giving me vertigo.

Interesting…

So Sean “Beady Eyes and Unfortunate Teeth” Combs is throwin’ a little milk in his coffee.
“Cameron Diaz and P.Diddy have been going out on some secret dates lately. The two were spotted dining at Osteria Mozza restaurant on March 15. They arrived at the restaurant separately but left together through the back. Cameron was already seated when Diddy arrived wearing a brown Jump Suit and brought his own bottle of red wine wrapped in a ghetto Ralph’s plastic bag. It was obvious they were on a date as the couple giggled and flirted with each other during dinner.” Source
I love weird couples. They can sit around and pick each others acne. This is awesome.

Tyra’s Saying Goodbye to Top Model?

Published by justlo under Tyra Banks Edit This

Looks like Ty Ty Baby is lookin’ to say ‘Peace’ to Top Model. OK! Magazine says that Tyra isn’t getting along with Jay Manuel who directs the models’ shoots.
“It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking,” an insider told OK! Magazine. The selective silent treatment isn’t limited to Manuel, either. “Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day,” the source told the magazine.Net result? Banks (who wouldn’t comment on the rumors) might be looking for a new supermodel to helm ANTM. “She’s really throwing all her weight behind her talk show,” according to a source familiar with The Tyra Banks Show. “She’s putting lots of pressure on her staff to keep her show on the map. She had Barack Obama on, she had Hilary Clinton on — she got a taste of playing with the big boys and now Top Model seems to detract from her big plans.” Source
Ilk! Do you have ANY friends Tyra? And no, you’re mom doesn’t count.

Flavor of Love 3 Episode 7 Recap

Published by justlo under Flavor of Love 3, Recap Edit This

Flav gathers the girls around and tells them that the object of this competition is to put together a Flavor of Love 3 Calendar. Buckwild and Saaphyri come to help decide who wins the competition and goes on the date Flav and later who goes home. There are 12 months, 6 girls, 3 hours and 1 photographer. The girls must decide who’s what month. Shy is excited. She’s instructing the girls how to model and says, “I’ve done hair shows, I’ve watched Tyra Banks’ show. I practice in the mirror.” Uh, thanks Shy.
The Competition:
As they start to decide who’s going to do what month Prancer starts volunteering for everything which irritates everyone. Shy volunteers to do February and gets a “we’ll see” from everyone. Prancer is the only on who is gutta enough to tell Shy that it’s February, you should be half naked. It’s Valentine’s Day. Her stomach looks like shit.” Thank you prancer for your candor.
Shy and the twins do July in short tails and Daisy Dukes. Saaphyri thinks they should have shown more skin.
Prancer does May (even though Hotlanta was supposed to be in the shoot with her),
April
and July.
Shy comes out and starts poppin’ off saying something like “Look at the vision!” Prancer retorts “Look at your stretchmarks!” I pause to release a chortle. Things 1&2 do November in nighties while hovering over a hot stove. At one point the photographer says, “Here we go things!” (insert queer swirl on that verbiage)
Seezinz and Hotlanta do August in bathing suits.
When Hotlanta is done with the shoot she goes inside.
Prancer asks the photographer if he can reshoot the shot with Seezinz and her instead. He obliges. Seezinz decides to join Prancer in the calendar sabotage mission. She too will be in EVERY shot if it kills her.
Seezinz poses as a sexy teacher for September. Sinceer and Thing 2 pose for October in sexy Halloween costumes. Seezinz was supposed to be posing for October. Do you see where this is going friends?
Well its now time to shoot for February…the much sought after month. Sinceer and Shy are supposed to pose for this month but as they’re getting ready they’re informed by one of the Things to hurry up and go down stairs because Prancer and Seezinz are preparing to shoot together. They fight and then decide to ALL shoot for this month and may the best pic win. Prancer and Seezinz shoot together. Things 1&2 shoot together. Shy and Sinceer shoot together…they git freaky…Lo vomits in mouth. Time for the March shoot which was supposed to be Sinceer but Prancer and Seezinz come racing down the stairs slathered in green sluttiness. A huge fight ensues. The photographer tries to calm things down but pacifies himself with having a drink. Smart move photog! The girls gather with Saaphyri and Buckwild to choose pics and to choose a winner. They are critical of all the pictures that Shy, Hotlanta, Things 1&2, and Sinceer take and think the ones Prancer and Seezinz are in are hot and sexy. So, shocker, Prancer and Seezinz win. Shy says, “I’m disgusted, busted and can’t be trusted.” What does that even mean? Is it somehow a reference to ur stank breath?
Later Hotlanta is talking about the days she spent as a starving stripper single mother and that has the twins wondering if she’s just here to get Flav to take care of her. Shy makes a dental appointment in hopes of handling her mouth issues. Prancer believes her breath stinks because there are only two tooth brushes in Shy’s bathroom which is shared by three people. Interesante!
Downstairs, Thing 2 overhears Hotlanta having a phone converstion about one of her baby daddies. She says something to the effect of “If you can get money out of Jerry then get money out of Jerry!” (Jerry being her baby daddy.) Thign two immediately runs to tel Sinceer, Thing 1, and Shy.

The Date:
Seezinz and Prancer are instructed to wear leotards for their date. Seezinz wears hers with some nice accessories and heels. Prance throws on a skirt over hers and those god forsaken skate sneakers. UGH!!!!! When they get in the limo Seezinz sees an opportunity to get Flavs attention and starts swapping spit with him. It’s pretty much downhill for Prancer from that point on. hen they go inside for the date they see it’s an aerial studio where they’ll be trained to use the ribbons and the rings. Flav gets stretched. Then Prancer climbs the ribbons but Seezinz climbs higher. She then gets on the rings and swing with Flav. Prancer is getting tight.
Meanwhile shy is at the dentist. He can tell she has a lot of sugar in her diet. She’s told that brushing and flossing twice a day, a fluoride rinse and a deep cleaning will be beneficial. He also thinks in order to achieve the “Hollywood smile” she wants she’ll need to remove teeth, get a few root canals, and get some fillings. The laundry list of work will cost a pretty penny. Back to the date, Seezinz having private talks with Flav while intermittently getting tongued down by him while Prancer swings upside down on the ropes by herself. When they get back Shy tells Flav about the dentist and says that she’s made herself a mint chain which she’ll carry around with her and suck on just so she can get at him. Ilk! Then she and the twins tell Flav about the Hotlanta “Jerry” conversation. Flav takes Hotlanta outside and she tells him that she hasn’t been with Jerry since August. I have no idea what the time frame is between her breaking up with Jerry and the taping of the show. Anyway, she has all these bills that need to get paid and she needed to get the money from Jerry (who’s currently out of work) and that’s what the convo was about. Flav starts wondering if she is just lookin’ for a meal ticket.

Elimination:
Saaphyri and Buckwild come up to Flav’s room and tell him to get rid of Hotlanta cus or better Shy cus she likes to fight for no reason. The only one who they liked “a little bit” was Seezinz.

Who’s In?: Who’s Out?: But but but but wait it gets worse! It’s not over cus Saaphyri says that none of them are good enough for Flav and brings in 4 new chicks who will join them in the house. Meet the new girls.

Awwwww shit! Looks like it’s about to get real interestin’ up in derr!
