President Obama’s Election Night Speech!

I’ve been on a hiatus getting my life and financial situation together lol, but I couldn’t let Obama win without me posting his Election Night Speech.

If I was a crier, it would have brought tears to my eyes, but since I’m not, it made me feel all tingly inside 🙂

Congrats to President Obama and his camp! I’m excited to see what else the President will do in the next four years.

Rihanna tells Vogue she messes with “the weeds” NOT the white stuff [PHOTOS]

The Magazine stands will be empty in November between Oprah and Rihanna covering them! For the November issue of Vogue Magazine, Rihanna was featured and gave another personal interview!

In the interview, she talks about her drug of choice, “the weeds”, as my nanny calls it lol, Chris Brown, dating, and more. Apparently there were rumors that Rihanna was on that white stuff during coachella this year, but Rihanna never came off as a powder nose to me! It’s no secret that she uses the devil’s lettuce though.

She’s posted plenty of photos of her rolling up Mary Jane with the caption “wake and bake!” Also, her new cover art is a picture of her fingers rolling up a diamond filled blunt. Since she is such a avid weed user lol she was offended by the rumors and said:

“They knew what it was, they knew it was marijuana. It was completely clear to them. I just thought it was uncalled for. I don’t do cocaine. I don’t like being associated with anything that’s untrue.”

I don’t blame Rihanna; for the last year, she’s been an open book when it comes to everything, which is something I appreciate about her. She gives her fans the truth about whatever is going on with her. Especially, the fact that she hasn’t been on a date in over 2 years.

“I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero…I would love to go on a date. You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many v***nas around me at this point. Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my a** back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”

I don’t believe it! I know somebody is on her heels besides Chris Brown, who she also talked about.

“To the world, I feel like there’s no closure. There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song. But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.”

 

She also spilled the tea on why she decided to do the “Birthday Cake” remix with Chris!

“I didn’t think it could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together . . . it could be a little shocking.”

Well…I think it was a good idea because that song is MY JAM! I personally love Rihanna and her free spirit! If she wants to do the weeds, date Chris Brown, or whatever else, I’ll still be a fan. Even Oprah approved of her 🙂

Here’s some of my fav photos from her Vogue shoot:

Oprah shows off her 58-year-old sexyness for Harper’s Bazaar magazine [PHOTOS]

Oprah personally decided to let me into her life by doing an interview with fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar. I always get to see her work her magic on different people, but now she’s giving me everything I need in this November issue.

The phrase “black don’t crack” is so true because Oprah is 58 years old, and she keeps looking better every time we see her. Like seriously every time Oprah steps out or makes an appearance now she looks FAB! In her interview with the magazine, she talks about her guilty pleasures like reading the “50 Shades of Grey” trilogy.

The best part of the interview is when we get a glimpse at what a day in the life of Oprah is like…DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW LONG I’VE WAITED FOR OPRAH TO SPILL THE FREAKING BEANS ON WHAT SHE DOES ON A DAILY BASIS???? Omg if I could copy her crazy schedule I would…this woman is a POWERHOUSE!

“Her schedule is manic. Winfrey is an early bird, up by 5:45, 6 A.M. (“Stedman’s usually up at 5:30.”) Breakfast of late is “blackberries and half a banana, some almond milk and a little protein powder.” While still in bed she reads a passage from TheDailyLove.com, then from The Bowl of Saki: “It’s like the Sufi Daily Word.” Then it’s a workout, followed by either travel or doing “five or six” calls with her network heads, or both, and, she says, sighing, “trying to work out how social media will fit in there.” (Winfrey is also working on getting seven graduates of her girls’ school in South Africa settled in American colleges.) She doesn’t catch up with famed best friend Gayle King as regularly these days, given that King, a cohost of CBS This Morning, needs to be asleep nightly by 8:30. “I was on the phone with Gayle the other night,” Winfrey recalls. “She asked me a question, and then it was…snore!” She howls with laughter.”

Read more of what she had to say and check out her pics!

On her decision to create OWN:

“When you have reached the peak of a mountaintop, which is where I was with the Oprah show, you have absolutely no worries…I’d been in the right space at the right time, and I’d done that in the best way possible for 25 years. But you have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”

On her greatest indulgence:

Bathing is my hobby. I love creating bathing experiences—bath gels, bubbles, crystals, salts, lavender milks…Oh, yeah! I go prune. I go waaaay prune. I’ve gone to sleep.?

On her guilty pleasure:

“Oh, I’ve got all the Shades, for the time I can take some guilty pleasure and just read. But I’m thinking, Stop with the story, get to the juicy part!”

On what she’s hungry for:

“I’ve been thinking, What am I hungry for? Well, I’m hungry to awaken and open people’s hearts…”

Cute or corny? His and Hers Versace Jackets for you and your boo!

Thank God Love and Hip Hop’s, Olivia found love in a hopeless place! Shorty has been posting her love for her new boyfriend all over Instagram!

This weekend I found this pic of her and her bf in matching his and hers Versace jean jackets! I think they’re kind of cute and they give off an adult Sadie’s vibe lol. What do y’all think…cute or corny?

Hopefully, she’ll be on the next season of the show with her new boo because the last one didn’t seem like anything to be proud of. I also hope we can get some new music out of her that doesn’t involve being the other woman.

Uppercut “Survivor” tells her side: “I felt like I was in Mortal Kombat!” [VIDEO]

This girl is literally an uppercut survivor because she should have been dead after her brain was almost punched through her skull by a Cleveland Bus driver! Well the media has now found the girl, Shi’dea Lane, and she did an interview where she told her side of the story and played the victim role.

Yes, she was punched, but let’s not forget that she hit the driver and spit on him first. The interview is hilarious to me because she actually says, “I felt like I was in Mortal Kombat!” That’s exactly what everyone on twitter had to say. Some people even made edits to the video making it look like the video game.

This girl won’t be able to catch a break for a while unfortunately because somebody happened to find her on twitter, and people went in on her! I don’t agree with the bullying her on twitter part, but I’m sorry you have to admit this story is too much to not laugh at!

Here’s some of what she had to say!
“The bus driver didn’t think I had any money to get on the bus and I was looking for it, trying to tell him that I have money to get on the bus. Can you just let me find it? And from there it just escalated …”

“It felt like I was on Mortal Kombat. It just hurted. It was almost like a ‘finish him!’ type of hit,”

“It’s amazing to see how a man would hit a woman that hard. Are you serious? You could have pulled me off the bus. You can’t really touch anyone, but for real? You really punched me?”

Sorry hun, you don’t get to use the woman vs. man thing once you hit someone AND spit on them.

Cleveland Bus Driver uppercuts the weave ponytail off this girls head! [VIDEO]

Sorry the video was deleted…back up now 🙂

Thanks to worldstar hip hop, the viral world is going nuts after they uploaded this video of a Cleveland Bus Driver uppercutting the hell out of a girl. The video starts with the two threatening to whoop each others a^*!

It’s crazy how as soon as someone witnesses an argument, the first thing they do is pull out their phone to record it. Luckily this guy/girl did because nobody has ever seen an uppercut like this in real life!

After the girl got embarassed, she decided to punch the driver and spit on the driver…BAD IDEA! The bus driver almost knocked the girl through the window and she didn’t even pass out!

Notice her little fan left on the top of her head after she gets hit. This video will be on the news any day now. Twitter has already made a trending topic for the video called #BusDriverUppercutPlaylist

It’s also sparked a debate on whether the man is wrong for hitting a woman, or if the girl deserved it for running her mouth and talking stuff! What do you think?

POPPED or POPPIN? Oprah steps out in Washington D.C. dressed in Green!

Image

I would like to thank the Paparazzi for snapping pics of my fairy God-mother looking FAB in this Green ensemble! The paps caught Oprah as she left her hotel heading to shoot her “Favorite Things” Special with Military families. 

The episode will air just in time for the Holidays, and we already know Oprah will have plenty of expensive goodies to give out!

Image

Now back to this outfit of hers…She looks absolutely gorgeous!. This dress is so flattering to her shape and her hair is laid like Michelle Obama. I love the accessories too. Her sunglasses and earrings bring everything together perfectly! Honestly Oprah could wear a paper bag and I would say her look is POPPIN!

However, this look genuinely gets a thumbs up because it is without a doubt POPPIN! It is age and shape appropriate! Take notes older ladies 🙂 

 

36 bags of heroin found on Nelly’s Tour Bus! Do you think he knew?

Image

Feel free to take a few seconds to drool ladies and let me just start off with this quote from a fellow blogger Kid Fury:

“It’s hilarious how people are more shocked that Nelly was on a tour bus than him having 36 bags of heroin on it.”

LMAO! He’s so right! Nelly why are you on tour and where are you going? You can definitely take that perfectly sculpted body on tour for  country grammar but I know that’s not the case, so what’s really going on?

Earlier this week, police Nelly almost landed his sexy body in jail to be fully taken advantage of after police found 36 bags of heroin, over ten pounds of marijuana, and a loaded gun on his tour bus. First off, I know he’s close friends with T.I. so why Nelly…WHY?

Luckily, Nelly is in a better situation than T.I. since one of his friends took the rap for everything (that’s dedication). The incident happened in Texas days after Nelly spent the weekend in Vegas partying with his on again off again boo Ashanti. I wonder what she had to say!

Here’s what Nelly had to say:

“It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning. Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.”

lol at “it is my understanding” Do you think he knew or not? I really couldn’t see Nelly doing heroin…weed and shooting a gun? YES!  Heroin? definitely not!

Love Birds Joe Budden and Kaylin Garcia are set to join Love and Hip Hop Cast!

Image

The two freak-a-leaks in love, rapper Joe Budden and his girlfriend Kaylin Garcia aka Young Ratchet (he calls her that lol) are going to be on the original Love and Hip Hop! Joe Budden announced it while doing an interview with Angie Martinez. I’m actually pretty excited to get all up in the couples business and see how they act outside of the pictures we see on instagram.

Since they seem to be obsessed with getting it on and posting inappropriate pictures lol, I’m sure 95% of their lives we won’t get to see without a nudity strip going across the screen. If you have an instagram go follow both of them, and trust me you’ll be entertained between seeing Kaylin’s booty cheeks or images of them playing tonsil hockey, there’s never a dull moment.

Anyways, expect lots of drama since Joe dated a few of the cast mates in the past. I’m thinking we might not need Chrissy and Jim on the show anymore and it will do just fine without them! 

With or without their freaky antics, they are still an adorable couple that seems to be completely in love. They actually might be obsessed with each other. Who knows we’ll have to wait til the season starts to see! 

Chris Brown gets a sew in! [PHOTO]

So I’m sitting in the parking lot at wal-mart and I come across this…

Chris brown literally just uploaded this picture of himself to his Instagram and its HILARIOUS! He kind of looks like a skateboard rocker type of guy!

All he needs is the ombré effect and he would be the baddest b$!&h of 2012!!!

Hey Men! Your best investment will always be a GOOD woman…here’s why!

This post was “inspired” by a tweet that I saw lol “Your best investment will always be a good woman,” it got me thinking about how true it is and why…here’s what I think!

If you’ve seen Think Like A Man and you’re a female, then you probably compared yourself to a character in the film, or walked away thinking “Damn that’s so true!” I know I did lol. I also read some of the book, and I swear Steve Harvey really did give up the secret to getting to a man’s heart and how men think!

He also tells the truth about how women feel, and this is my favorite quote about a woman. It explains exactly how deep a woman’s love is or can be and why a woman can be your best investment!

“Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you’ve acted out, no matter what crazy thing you’ve done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty, encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you’re no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she’s done to convince you she’s The One just isn’t good enough.
That’s a woman’s love—it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance. ”

Some of you guys better wake up and realize where you should be making your investments! It’s simple and true that a woman can be your best friend, wife, worst enemy, or worst nightmare, but it all depends on how you treat her.

Nothing compares to the love of a good woman! If you don’t believe me ask Jay, Will or Obama, their investments seem to have paid off!

 

Dressing “Cozy” is in this Fall: Big Sweaters and Big Scarves! [PHOTOS]

I absolutely hate dressing in tight clothes because they’re so uncomfortable for me. Luckily, the fashion trend for this fall is to dress as cozy as possible while still being adorable. As long as you have an oversized sweater and a big scarf, you are ready to take on the fall!

The fun part is that you can pair your scarf and sweater with so many bottoms. You can do a tight skirt with tights and boots, leggings with leg warmers and boots, add a vest with skinny jeans and boots, and whatever else you can creatively come up with. Of course my favorite part about the cozy trend is that you can find so many vintage and name brand sweaters at thrift stores or online shops like www.thriftedgems.com for a low price.

Hopefully you all enjoy this trend as much as me. Stay warm 🙂
