Real Housewives of ATL Reunion Show: My Thoughts.
2008-11-25 22:00:00
*Update* My thoughts on the reunion show:Kim was all over the place last night, and cancer Kim? Real ly? I mean I hope for her sake she wasn't lying, because if she was, she really needs help.  And going back over some of the whoppers Kim has told already, I wouldn't put it past her to make up some stuff just to try to get sympathy.  *UPDATE* Kim has claimed that she thought she'd "get killed" after the reunion show. Ridiculous.Deshawn was... wait was she even there?  Moving on..Lisa. Last night, we found out that Lisa was how Kim found out about Nene's song through Sheree.. or via speakerphone. If Kim is saying that Lisa told her about Nene's song on the speakerphone, given Kim's track record, it's probably a lie, so I'm gonna go with Lisa telling the story to Sheree (in confidence) then Sheree blabbing to Kim about it.  Real classy Sheree.And Sheree gets my harshest criticism in this post.  First of all, Sheree, since you like to "keep it classy," classy people don't keep ...

My Love Affair w/ Scarves Part II: Pashmina International
2008-11-25 18:45:00
I ? scarves!  Don't believe me?  See here, here and here.  I have one in almost every color!  A scarf is a wonderful way to add color to an outfit, or to just keep warm.  You'd be surprised at how warm you can stay by just wrapping a scarf around your neck. Even with your arms exposed. It's a beautiful thing if you're cold-natured.  And the larger ones can double as a blanket when you're traveling! Love . Which is why I had to tell you about the new scarf I just got from Pashmina International , it's a beautiful lilac color, it's soft and warm and not too thick.  Their scarves are all made from cashmere and silk, so you don't have any crazy, synthetic and scratchy fabrics around your neck.  They're also a fab holiday gift idea! And they gift wrap and express mail! I did my holiday shopping online last year, and let me tell you, once you do it like that, you're not trying to fight crowds at another shopping center. Trust that. Thanksgiving is at the front door and Christmas w...

Let's get the niceties outta the way first. Because Toccara is looking great here.  She did "Celebrity Fit Club" a couple times, she shed some extra weight, so she looks healthy and fit but she kept her curves that she was adamant about not losing. That being said, the only thing Toccara is missing with this look she chose to wear to the American Music Awards is a basket and a little dog.

"Making Friends With Black People" Coming to NBC TV...
2008-11-18 19:56:00
Mara Brock Akil, Creator & Executive Producer of "Girlfriends" and "The Game"President-elect Barack Obama is already bringing about change -- to the world of network TV development, at least.  NBC is developing a comedy based on the book "Making Friends With Black People ," a buddy comedy that will focus on the state of race relations in the U.S.The show isn't specifically about Obama's rise as the nation's first African-American president -- but "Making Friends" hopes to capitalize on how Obama's success has changed the nation's dialogue on race.  "From time to time, race bubbles up in the consciousness of the country and then dissipates," said "Making Friends" author Nick Adams. "Now, with Obama, people are talking about race a lot more. We hope to capitalize on that and not let the dialogue die down. ... It seemed like a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.""The Game" exec producers Mara Brock Akil (above, who also created "Girlfriends") and Salim Akil will w...

Beyonce Selling Her Wedding Pics? NOPE.

Beyonce insists she would have never considered selling photos of her hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z to a glossy celebrity magazine. Still, the singer acknowledges that she was amazed at the amount of money that was offered."Now, they offer crazy money that's just ridiculous," she said in a recent interview, laughing. "But in the end, absolutely not. It's so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money)."Beyonce and Jay-Z were married in April in an intimate ceremony in New York City."We worked really hard at keeping it private," she said. "I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."Though Beyonce declined to talk about specific details, she's been more open to acknowledging her relationship in recent interviews after years of silence about it.She's due to release her new CD, "I AM ...

Michelle Obama's Emerging Style...
2008-11-10 17:31:00
Comparisons of Michelle Obama to Jacqueline Kennedy have centered on style and fashion. Watch for Michelle Obama to become a trendsetter, possibly a reluctant one. -Darlene SupervilleFirst Lady-Elect Michelle Obama has been both praised and maligned for her style choices. She takes risks. She enjoys trendy American designers as well as more classic looks. She buys online and off the rack, but she's also courted by top designers. So just when you think you know what Michelle Obama is gonna wear, she surprises you, and I think that's gonna make her super interesting to watch.  I don't think we're going to be able to box her into one fashion mold, because as soon as we try, she's gonna break out of it and do something totally different.  I, of course, have my own style ideas for her, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing what she does next.from l. to r. above: Michelle Obama in Maria Pinto, Thakoon Panichgul, J.Crew, Narciso Rodriguez.Michelle Obama in ThakoonMichelle Obama ...
