Ain't That A...?!, And You Can Quote Me On This..., Death, Oh No U Didn't?!, Uh-uh This Ain't Funny!, What In The...?!
I’m too through.
This little peanut head boy, Orlando Brown of “That’s So Raven” fame, disappeared for 24hrs and contacted no one.
art.orlando.brown.gi.jpg

That’s not too bad seeing as how the boy isn’t really a boy-but is in fact 20yrs old.
And well, we know how 20yrs olds act.
*shrugging shoulders*
He disappeared for 24 hrs, because he needed to be alone, and regroup.
He said:
“It was wrong for me not to inform my manager … about my whereabouts, especially when I am usually so routine and big on communication, but I felt a little lost and needed to get away, …”
Hey, that happens to the best of us.
I feel him on that.
What disturbed me was his reason for disappearing and scaring the crap out of everyone….read on:

“…after an incident at a nightclub where he had expected to open for the headlining act. “I felt that that was my chance to prove that I was talented and I was really excited,” Brown said. “When I was told that I couldn’t perform… that really hurt. … It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone.”

SMH

Can you say “spoiled brat?!” He better be glad I’M NOT HIS MAMA.

Who does he THINK he is?? Because HE COULDN’T SHOW OFF HIS TALENT (which is subjective), he felt he had the right to act like the child HE DIDN’T THINK HE WAS?? I mean I’m glad the boy is ok, but to know this brat had a tantrum at 20…whatever.

Yep…he’s a diva in the making.

Question-This kid is working in conjunction works with Raven Symone, and Disney, right?

Doesn’t he make enough money to be able to showcase HIMSELF??

*I guess that’s two questions*

I know folks out here in Detroit, who put their little nickels together, and put together shows all the time…and they’re common folks.

Is it really that serious?

Get over yourself, YOU SPOILED BRAT!

The only reason your story hit mainstream (CNN), is because of the ridiculous reason behind your disappearance! Now, when a black person disappears for real, mainstream media will CONTINUE to discount us ant not take us serious…your episode sure didn’t help us.

GROW UP, KID!

I’ve tried to listen on many occasions to the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS)…but for some reason, I just can’t get into the show. The few times I have listened, the points of interest that held my attention were the scholarships awarded and the giving away of $$$ to people who deserved it. I truly admire Joyner’s philanthropic efforts.
Having said that, I was saddened to read Tavis Smiley quit the TJMS as a featured guest- not due to conflicting interests, money disagreements, or creative differences.
According to Tom Joyner, Tavis Smiley quit the show bcuz he was not receiving love from the black community.

sigh I don’t know what has transpired between listeners and Tavis Smiley, but if that fact is true-then it’s downright shameful.
Click here to read the open letter Tom Joyner has written to the black community/TJMS listeners. That move by Tom Joyner was brave, risky and the right thing to do.
Here’s wishing Tavis Smiley the best in all that he strives to do.
Update:  Tavis speaks and gives further clarification.  Read here.

General, In Celebrity News, Life, Makin' $$$ The Only Way I Know How..., What Will They Think of Next??

Dang Saaphyri…

From the time I first viewed you on Flava of Love’s 1st episode where you beat up girlfriend over a bed and got kicked off the show-I knew you were…SPECIAL.

I don’t know maybe it was your baby voice, or watching you on Charm School where you gave your belongings away, or how you had to fight for everything that you’ve got. Your words resonated within me and I championed you.

When you won the $50k grand prize on Charm School..girrrrrrlll, I was ca-rying (crying) with you…fa real! I mean even your blonde/pink weave which took some getting used to..was the bomb!

Having said all of that…I’m just trying to understand where you’re going with the lip chap?

I think it’s a wonderful marketing opportunity, but is the lip chap for everyone or just men? Your videos seems so sexualized, although the 2nd video is much tamer in comparison to the first lip chap video!

OMG

I guess you, like most people have to do what you gotta do, I just thought since you were so unique, your foray into entrepreneurship would’ve been just as unique. I guess not.

So to answer your question that you posed in the video (below):

Whatchu know about Saaphyri??

Nothing really. smh

The Fabulousness known as Vanesa L. Williams, is gracing the May 2009 cover of Ebony Magazine, celebrating Mother’s Day.
I remember when her daughter Melanie (sitting above her son, Devin) was Sasha’s (her daughter by Rick Fox) age. Speaking of Sasha, everytime I see that chile…I get the feeling she is bad as h*ll! I bet that lil missy gets her brother in trouble, ALL THE TIME!!
Anyways, I look forward to this issue of Ebony (I prefer Essence myself), but whatever.

BELGRADE (Reuters) - A Serb farmer used a grinding machine to cut in half his farm tools and machines to comply with a court ruling that he must share all his property with his ex-wife, local media reported on Thursday.   Chain Saw

Branko Zivkov, 76, told Belgrade daily Kurir he had been ready to give his wife Vukadinka her equal share of everything earned during their 45-year marriage, but was furious at being asked to give away half his farming equipment.

Instead, he bought a grinder and cut in two all his tools, including large items such as cattle scales, a harrow and a sowing machine.

“I still haven’t decided how to split the cow,” he told the newspaper. “She should just say what she wants — the part with the horns or the part with the tail.” source

*****

Gramps, is crazy for real! A lot of anger fueled his cut-up antics! lol  I’m just glad they didn’t have to split up the kids!  Lawd knows what he would’ve come up with!

Boo-Boo The Fool, Chile-What In The World Were U Thinking?!
 *sigh*
I don’t know-I’m kind of on the fence about this. This young lady Amber L. Goff (pic’d below),

Prison guard Amber Lynn Goff, 24, was blinded by love when she helped two inmates escape.

helped two inmates escape from prison and is JUST REALIZING she’s been had.

Silence. 

I don’t know, I guess it is possible, in light of her age, she’s 24. 
I just don’t see-let me stop. 
We’ve all been played like suckas at least once in our lives, (and if you say you haven’t, I’ll tell you-you’re getting played right now for believing you haven’t.) some of us more often than others. 
Having said that, I’m trying to figure out what this child was thinking when she believed the crap her convict boyfriend. 
Again maybe it’s because she was so young, or maybe she was tagged team by her boy Ford, and his friend Jesse Bell. 
It wouldn’t be hard for someone who’s young and impressionable to fall for the okey doke.  I mean,there are other prison guards who’s aided and abetted in the escape of prisoners, and they were older than Amber-so it does happen. 
Well, Amber’ll have five years in prison to think about ‘the STUPID things done in the name of love.’
smh

A very somber and visually fragile emerged from her husband’s funeral at St. George’s Church yesterday.
****
I first reported this news, here.
This was shocking to me bcuz 1) I didn’t know Corinne was married, and 2) I was surprised by the way her husband, Jason died (drug overdose).
I can’t imagine experiencing this. They were such a young couple, and for it to end so soon-has to be nothing less than shocking.
God bless Corinne and her family during such a tragic time.

This ni**a has a lot of doggone nerve…If I could gain access to Bobby, he’d get slapped upside the head with two crackpipes, fo’ sho.’
*****Bobby, done gone and wrote (scribbled on napkins) a book, so he can keep up child support payments, now that Whitney’s not making the payments anymore**

Step 1 of the 12 Steps to Sobriety is:
“We (I) admitted we (I) were (was) powerless over our (my) addiction - that our (my) lives (life)had become unmanageable.”
The reason I brought that step up, is to set up a quote from Bobby’s book:
“I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice…”
Ok, maybe the paragraph before that statement should’ve been included so that assumptions can’t be made, and the above statement could be taken out of context.
But since it isn’t…here goes:
If Bobby thinks we’re dense enough to believe he had never used cocaine until Whitney, then I’m a blonde barbie doll, with a 26in. waist, with $50m in my bank account. Since we all know that’s a lie…we also know Bobby ain’t keepin’ it real either. Now I’m not saying Whitney didn’t have the resources to introduce bobby to some new-fangled drugs, but I’m willing to bet he tried ‘caine at least 4,562,114 x’s before hookin’ up with Whitney.
Man puhhhleeezze!
What’s messed up is Bobby has to pimp his relationship with Whitney in order to remain relevant. Cuz keepin’ it real, noone is interested in Bobby rehashing his drug use and child support payment issues.
Uh-Uh.
Erryone wants to hear about WHITNEY.
Sadly, I do too.
It’s morbid curiosity.
I want to know about Whitney, but I don’t want to know.
However, I wish I would buy Bobby aka “King of R & B’s” book.
Not even on my worse “fiend out for a book” day.
I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to generate an income, right?
Well, I know what you’re asking:
What does Whitney think of all of this? According to People Magazine, Whitney said:
“Miss Houston is sad that Bobby feels he needs to say such things but she chooses to take the high road and will not speak badly about the father of her child even if it’s to set the record straight.”
Whitney, I ain’t mad at you girlfriend :)
